HR 2: Clinching or Clenching, Week 12 Recap

Tom and Jacob play a round of 'Clinching or Clenching' to determine which current NFL division leaders should feel calm or concerned with their hold on their division, and they do a full recap on all the Week 12 NFL action.

The biggest matchup to watch on Sunday has to be the Steelers defense vs the Bengals offense because TJ Watt has not played to his typical DPOY caliber while Joe Burrow is having the best statical season of his career. Meanwhile the Steelers offense needs to return to their form when they were averaging 30 points per game for a few weeks against an overall poor Bengals defense.

We light the fire on a Wednesday so we can enjoy an extra long Thanksgiving weekend featuring at least one solid Turkey Day game between the Dolphins and Packers and the game of the week in the 4 o'clock window on Sunday between the Ravens and Eagles. Plus Tom and Jacob share who they got in the Triple Play, and they pick a winner for Steelers/Bengals.

Joe Burrow and JaMarr Chase are having the best seasons of their careers, but somehow the Bengals are below .500 and seemingly throwing away another season despite having an elite young duo.

Tom and Jacob rank their top ten teams heading into the thirteenth week of the season.

The decision to put Justin Fields in on third down at the end of the game on Thursday night deserves a thorough examination. In the last few weeks we've seen the run offense and TJ Watt not show up to their full potential, and if the Steelers want to stay alive as they play through the remaining games Mr Watt and Mr Harris need to get more involved.

The Steelers fell to a 6-18 deficit and managed to claw their way back to a late fourth quarter lead, but it wasn't enough as the Browns were able to retake the lead in the final moments and end the Steelers five game winning streak.

Tom and Jacob light the fire on this sad Friday and start by playing the blame game for who deserves the most criticism for the lost to the Browns. They also preview all of the Week 12 action, react to the Giants releasing QB Daniel Jones, and share who they got in the Triple Play.
