NFL Week 16 INSTANT reactions: Jaguars new top dog in AFC? Do Bucs need a QB? McCarthy-Dart slop fest

Nate Tice & Charles McDonald give their instant reactions and takeaways from Week 16 of NFL action. First, the duo give their takeaways from the New England Patriots' win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, including whether it's time to shut down Lamar Jackson.

Next, the two hosts dive into their 3 Highs, 3 Lows from the Week 16 Sunday slate. Nate & Charles start by highlighting the Jacksonville Jaguars knocking off the 1-seed Denver Broncos, the Chicago Bears getting their revenge over the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Chargers offense looking dangerous against the Dallas Cowboys heading into the playoffs.

The lows of Week 16 include the Detroit Lions being unable to save their season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers continuing their freefall in a loss to the Carolina Panthers (sparking questions about whether Baker Mayfield is really the future) and the Minnesota Vikings-New York Giants slop fest featuring some rough young QB play. Nate & Charles wrap things up with some thoughts on the post-Tua Tagovailoa Miami Dolphins and the other rookie starters struggling today.
