Week 17 Recap with Alex Bleuel


In this episode, Alex and I talk Big Ben's last home game, Bengals Win AFC North, Big D's FF Title, A Miami rant First, we talk about the likely final home game for long-time Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, which was a win over the Cleveland Browns. We recap Big Ben's last home game and talk about out favorite Roethlisberger memories. I also bring up Roethlisberger will be the third and final QB from the 2004 class following Eli Manning and Philip Rivers to retire in the past few years. Then, we talk about the Cincinnati Bengals beating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-31 to win their first AFC North crown in six years. We talk about the incredible stretch Joe Burrow is in the past two weeks. After a historic 525-yard game against the Ravens, Burrow outplayed Mahomes with 446 yards and four more touchdowns. Burrow's No. 1 weapon, rookie sensation Ja'Marr Chase caught 11 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns. We talk about how Burrow and Chase's condition is gelling in the NFL like it did at LSU. After the Bengals chat, we talk about Big D's fantasy football title. I discuss how my roster changed after my draft. I lost Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey early in the season. Alex noticed how I kept most of my key position players. I also explain how the Washington Football Team's Jaret Patterson proved to be a critical addition once Antonio Gibson was placed on the COVID-19 list. Alex ends this episode by ranting after seeing his Miami Dolphins fall short of the playoffs after a 34-3 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
