01:10:15 – BALTIMORE RAVENS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS

STEELERS WINNING 31-24. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE HIGHLIGHTS. BEN ROETHLISBERGER AND HIS TEAMMATES LOOKING TO FIGHT OFF THEIR AFC NORTH RIVALS. JOE FLACCO AND THE BALT. RAVENS. FIRST QUARTER, OPENING KICKOFF, LADARIUS WEBB. LITTLE SEAM AND HE TAKES IT ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE RAVENS 49. TACKLED. YEA, THOSE ARE FAKE YDS. BECAUSE ACTUALLY HIS ELBOW DOES HIT THE GROUND. THEY CHALLENGE THIS AND THEY WON THE CHALLENGE. AND THEY DO CHALLENGE IT. IT JUST SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH YDS. MEAN. YDS. AT A PREMIUM. THOSE 14 YDS. MAKE THAT MUCH THAT YOU TAKE A CHALLENGE ON.

NOW STEELERS WITH THE BALL. RASHARD MENDENHAHL 2 YD. GAIN. PENALTY ON THE PLAY. WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. HINES WARD AND ED REED GETTING INTO A SCUFFLE AND WARD CALLED FOR UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS. I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT ONE. I MEAN HE’S KIND OF..GENERALLY, YOU KIND OF BOTH GET A FLAG. BOTH GUYS…THAT ONE. FLAG THEM BOTH OR DON’T FLAG EITHER OF THEM. RIGHT, RIGHT. YOU DON’T CONVERT 3^RD & 12 VERY OFTEN BUT BEN ROETHLISBERGER TO MIKE WALLACE FOR 20 YDS. AND A STEELERS 1^ST DOWN. WELL THIS IS THE ACHILLES HEEL OF THE RAVENS TEAM THIS YEAR, WAS THEIR PASS DEFENSE.

NEXT PLAY, ROETHLISBERGER LOOKING DEEP TO MIKE WALLACE. JOSH WILSON CALLED FOR INTERFERENCE. AND THIS WAS INTERESTING TOO BECAUSE THERE WAS CONTACT, AND MIKE WALLACE WAS KIND OF PULLING IN.. YOU LOOK AT THE REPLAY. HE WAS PULLING HIM THERE.

7 PLAYS LATER, 2^ND & GOAL, RASHARD MENDENHAHL FINISHING THAT DRIVE.

7-0, THE STEELERS GO 54 YDS. IN 10 PLAYS TAKING LITTLE OVER 6 MINS. OFF THE CLOCK. BALT’S NEXT POSSESSION 3^RD & 3. FLACCO TO T.J. HOUSHMANZADEH, OVER THE MIDDLE FOR 9 YDS. IKE TAYLOR GETS AWAY WITH A LITTLE HEAD BUTT HERE. RIGHT THERE. A LITTLE ONE. HE’S NOT FLAGGED FOR IT BUT HE GETS AWAY WITH IT. CHIPPING ALL GAME LONG AS EXPECTED. 5 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & 15. FLACCO TO DERRICK MASON BUT ANTHONY MADISON CALLED FOR PASS INTERFERENCE. IT WAS JAIME, AS YOU MENTION IT. JUST A GAME FILLED WITH MISTAKES FROM BOTH TEAMS. BUT ENTERTAINMENT, NONETHELESS.

2 PLAYS LATER, RAY RICE BREAKING THE TACKLE AND TROY POLAMALU RUNNING RIGHT THROUGH IT AND RIGHT INTO THE END ZONE. WE ARE TIED AT 7. AND THINK ABOUT THIS. THAT RUN IS 12 YDS. OR SO. BY FAR THE LONGEST ATTEMPT. YEA. HE DIDN’T HAVE MUCH MORE THAN THAT THE ENTIRE GAME. GET RID OF IT BEN. O.K. THE BALL ON THE TURF. SOME CONFUSION. EVERYONE THINKING IT’S AN INCOMPLETE PASS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CORY RETTIS. IT’S PLAYOFF FOOTBALL. THERE’S NO EXCUSE FOR NOT DIVING ON THE BALL. THIS IS WHAT BEN DOES. BEN STANDS IN THE POCKET FOREVER AND DOESN’T GET RID OF IT. SOMETIMES IT WORKS IN YOUR FAVOR. SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. BUT KEEP IN MIND TOO, VERY NOISY. HARD TO HEAR A WHISTLE. SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HEAR IN THE LEAGUE TALK ABOUT IS BULLHORNS SO THE PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE WHISTLE. SO, WHAT WERE YOU INSTRUCTED TO DO AS AN OFF. LINEMAN BACK IN THE DAY? BALL’S LAYING ON THE GROUND – DIVE ON IT! WELL, BUT THAT’S IN THE … RUN. THE BALL WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. HE WENT FORWARD. THAT’S THE ONLY REASON. THAT’S GOLD MAN. THAT’S PIGSKIN GOLD RIGHT THERE. BUT INCOMPLETE PASSES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME.

MIKE TOMLIN NOW OUT OF CHALLENGES. INTO THE 2^ND QUARTER, RASHARD MENDENHAHL RUNNING RIGHT, PUTS IT ON THE TURF. RECOVERED BY ED REED. AGAIN, PITTS. MISTAKES. 2 TURNOVERS IN THEIR OWN RED ZONE. A GAIN, MIKE TOMLIN OUT OF CHALLENGES. I DON’T KNOW IF THAT WOULD’VE BEEN WORTHY OF A CHALLENGE ANYWAY. THAT BALL WAS OUT. IT WAS CLEARLY OUT. AND THE RAVENS MAKE THEM PAY. FLACCO ALL DAY TO THROW. SCRAMBLING AND DUMPING OFF TO RAY RICE. 1^ST DOWN AND 9 YDS. INSIDE THE 5 YD. LINE. POLAMALU MISSES RICE AGAIN. YEA, AND TROY HAD A ROUGH DAY TODAY ON THE TACKLES. HE MISSED SEVERAL KEY TACKLES IN THE GAME THAT COULD’VE ENDED ON A 3^RD DOWN BUT THIS IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL PICK ROUTE TO RUN. WHO CALLED IT A RUB? WELL JUST TO MAKE SURE IT’S LEGAL. O.K. YOU AND I WOULD’VE CALLED IT A PICK ROUTE IF WE WERE IN A HUDDLE, JUST THE 2 OF US TALKING. ALL I KNOW IS WHAT I PUT ON BARBECUE WHEN I’M COOKING. SO…

01:14:06

RAVENS UP 21-7, AND ROETHLISBERGER TO EMANUEL SANDERS, THE ROOKIE, FOR A 13 YD. GAIN. AND YOU LOOK AT THESE YOUNG WIDE RECEIVERS WHO ARE COMING IN HERE AND MAKING PLAYS. BUT HERE YOU HAVE A F.G. ATTEMPT. SORRY, GOT A LITTLE CHOKED-UP. IS THAT THE BAD END OF HINES FIELD? THEY ALWAYS TALK ABOUT 1 END. NO, THEY SAY THAT WAS THE GOOD ONE. WIND WAS AT HIS BACK.

1^ST HALF GOES TO THE RAVENS. BALT. UP 14 AT HALFTIME. 3^RD QUARTER, NOT SO GOOD FOR THE RAVENS. RAY RICE, WHO NEVER FUMBLES. RYAN CLARK JUST WITH A SOLID TACKLE PLAY THERE. YOU GOTTA SECURE THE FOOTBALL. 21-7. YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY, WITH THIS DRIVE, TO REALLY GRAB A HOLD OF THIS GAME IF YOU’RE THE RAVENS. 1^ST FUMBLE ON 405 CARRIES. RECOVERED BY LAMAR WOODLEY. HERE COME THE STEELERS. RASHARD MENDENHAHL RUNNING HARD. 14 YDS. AND A STEELER 1^ST DOWN. EASY TO SAY BUT YOU COULD JUST, WATCHING THIS GAME AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, YOU COULD FEEL THE MOMENTUM IN THIS GAME CHANGE. ABSOLUTELY. HERE COMES HEATH MILLER. A LITTLE PUMP FAKE. STEP UP AND THE TOUCH TO A WIDE OPEN STEELERS T.E. EXTRA POINT MADE IT 21-14. AND, AGAIN, NICE JOB BY BIG BEN. YOU TALK ABOUT HIM HOLDING ONTO THE BALL SOMETIMES TOO LONG; BUT I’LL TELL YOU WHAT. JUST, I MEAN THIS GUY IS A REAL GEM. JOE FLACCO TRYING TO PUT THE TOUCH PASS OUT TO TODD HEAP. A LITTLE TOO MUCH. AND THAT’S RYAN CARP WITH THE PICK. JOE WAS NOT SHARP. YOU’RE RIGHT JAMIE. HE HAD A LITTLE BIT BETTER IN THE 1^ST HALF. HAD A HIGHER COMPLETION PERCENTAGE. DIDN’T THROW FOR A LOT OF YDS. IN THE 1^ST HALF. 2^ND HALF WAS THROWING IT TO THE GUYS WEARING THE BLACK JERSEYS AND THE GOLD PANTS. PLENTY OF TIME, AND HINES WARD, ANOTHER STEELERS TD. ANOTHER EXTRA POINT AND, JUST LIKE THAT, WE ARE ALL TIED AT 21. 1^ST TOUCHDOWN TO HINES WARD IN THE LAST 5 PLAYOFF GAMES. HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE MOMENTUM IN THIS GAME CHANGED AS QUICKLY AS IT DID. BALT. GONNA GET IT BACK TOGETHER ON THIS DRIVE, RIGHT? NOPE. THE OLD FUMBLED SNAP. WOW. THE DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF GAME. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WORK ON EVERY DAY IN PRACTICE GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO TRAINING CAMP. BUT TO THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF GAME IS JUST ..HARD TO TAKE.

4^TH QUARTER ON THE ENSUING STEELERS POSSESSION. 4^TH & 1 ON THE RAVENS 1. THIS IS NOT 4^TH & 1 ON THE RAVENS 1. THIS IS ON THE 11 YD. LINE. STILL A… IT WAS 4^TH DOWN. GUTSY CALL. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY IN F.G. RANGE. THEY DECIDED THAT BIG BEN, 6’5 & 260, TO GO FOR IT. TERRELL SUGGS SHOWED UP IN A BIG WAY TODAY FOR THAT RAVENS DEFENSE. P. SIZZLE WAS REALLY FANTASTIC TODAY. MOST OF THE RAVENS DEFENSE I THOUGHT DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB CONSIDERING THE TURNOVER SITUATION. F.G. MAKES IT 24-21. THEN FLACCO PRESSURED BY JAMES HARRISON, RUNNING AWAY FROM PRESSURE, RUNS OUT OF BOUNDS EVENTUALLY FOR A 9 YD. LOSS. STEELERS PASS RUSH GOT AFTER FLACCO IN THE 2^ND HALF AND REALLY MADE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE. AS YOU SAW EARLIER, HE WAS NOT ACCURATE WITH HIS THROWS. JUST DID NOT PLAY WELL THE 2^ND HALF, JOE FLACCO. 3^RD & 7. ROETHLISBERGER TO EMANUEL SANDERS. INCOMPLETE AND PITTS. FORCED TO PUNT. ON THAT PUNT, LADARIUS WEBB. UP THE MIDDLE. BREAKS 1 TACKLE. PUNTS IT BACK. AND THERE HE GOES. 55 YD. PUNT RETURN… NICE FLOP. AND A NICE FLOP BY A STEELER. I MEAN YOU DID SEE ONE OF THE RAVENS PLAYERS. THERE YOU GO, A LITTLE GRAB THERE. BUT THAT’S A FLOP RIGHT THERE. IT WAS A FLOP. MAJOR FLOP. IT WAS A HOLD AND A FLOP. NEXT PLAY FOR THE RAVENS, 1ST & 10. FLACCO…TO TODD HEAP, 21 YDS. TO THE STEELER 8 YDS. LINE. BALL JUST LOOKED LIKE IT WAS FLOATING ON JOE TODAY. A LITTLE BIT. DIDN’T IT? THEN ON 3^RD & GOAL, INCOMPLETE TO ANQUAN BOLDEN. OH. CATCHABLE TOM? IT LOOKED LIKE IT. IT CERTAINLY LOOKED LIKE IT. I WOULD SAY SO. YEA. I MEAN THAT’S JUST ..THAT’S A CATCH THAT’S GOTTA BE MADE. JOE WASN’T ACCURATE BUT HIS RECEIVERS LET HIM DOWN ESPECIALLY DOWN THE STRETCH. BILLY CUNDIFF, TIME TO GAIN FROM 24 YDS. OUT, AND WE ARE ALL LOCKED UP AT 24.

01:18:12

ENSUING STEELERS POSSESSION. ROETHLISBERGER TO WARD AGAIN 12 YDS. THAT’S A HUGE 1^ST DOWN. YEA, THAT’S A DART RIGHT THERE TOO. 3^RD & 10. YOU DO NOT WANT TO PUNT THE BALL AND GIVE THE RAVENS 3 & CHANGE TO DRIVE ON YOU. YOU DON’T HAVE A LOT OF CALLS ON 3^RD & 19 BUT THIS WORKS. THAT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL THROW. HE TRIED TO DROP IT. HE REALLY TRIED TO DROP IT. ..CONSIDER DROPPING IT. ANTONIO BROWN JUST KIND OF PINNED IT UP AGAINST HIS HELMET. THAT IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL THROW, AND JOHN HARBAUGH’S GOTTA BE SICK TO HIS STOMACH. 3^RD & 18. 3^RD & 19. WHAT ARE YOU TELLING YOUR DEF. BACKS? JUST DON’T LET ANYONE GET BEHIND YOU. HE RAN RIGHT BY HIM. THIS IS A GREAT RUN TOO. THERE’S NOTHING THERE. MENDENHAHL..FANTASTIC. GREAT VISION. STEELERS LEADING 31-24. PENALTY ON THE PLAY. CHRIS __, CALLED FOR UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS. HE’S GONNA GET FINED FOR THAT AS WELL. YEA, HE’LL BE RECEIVING A FINE FOR THAT. BUT JUST SILLY. NOW YOU GOTTA KICKOFF FROM THE 15. THE EXTRA GAME CHECK WILL TAKE CARE OF IT THOUGH. I DON’T KNOW. __ MCCLAIN, THE FULLBACK, RETURNING IT 12 YDS. TO THE PITTS. 48. YEA, HE’S GETTING ALL THAT. ROGER TAYLOR’S GETTING ALL 21 GRAND OF THAT. IT’S A PUSH. 1:27 LEFT. 2 PLAYS LATE. 2^ND & 10. FLACCO TO DERRICK MASON. ALMOST PICKED OFF BY WILLIAM GAYE. LOOKED LIKE HE WAS THROWING IT TO WILLIAM GAYE. AGAIN, THE RAVENS JUST HAVE NO RHYTHM ON OFFENSE. 3^RD & 10, FORMER 1^ST ROUND PICK, ZIGGY HOOD. 8 YD. LOSS ON THE SACK, AND THE RAVENS USE THE FINAL TIMEOUT WITH 1:09 LEFT. DIFFERENT TEAM IN THE 2^ND HALF. PITTS STEELERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FOOTBALL. 4^TH & 18, FLACCO PUTS IT RIGHT ON T.J. HOUSHMANZADEH. WHAT HAPPENS HERE TOM? WOW! IT’S INEXCUSABLE. IT LOOKED LIKE T.J. WAS EXPECTING THE COLLISION FROM BEHIND HIM AND JUST SAT THERE. NOW COME BACK TO THE BALL T.J. PLANT YOUR FOOT, COME BACK TO THE BALL AND CATCH THAT BALL WITH YOUR HANDS, AND DON’T LET IT GET INTO YOUR BODY. I THINK HE WAS JUST DISTRACTED BY THE NOTION THAT SOMEBODY WAS GOING TO HIT HIM. UNBELIEVABLE FINISH FOR THE STEELERS AFTER TRAILING 21-7 AT HALFTIME. COMING BACK TO WIN 31-24.

01:20:29 – GREEN PAY BACKERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS

GUYS, WHAT A MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE BY AARON RODGERS AT THE GEORGIA DOME. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. LET’S TAKE YOU THERE, AS THE FALCONS AND PACKERS MET IN THE DIVISIONAL ROUND. HE LOOKS READY. MATT RYAN, 22 AT HOME FOR HIS CAREER. HE IS READY! AARON RODGERS.. RIGHT OFF THE BAT TO GREG JENNINGS, AND THIS EXPOSES HOW EXPLOSIVE THEY ARE. BUT …MAKES A GREAT PLAY ON THE BALL. YEA. HE MIGHT GO THE DISTANCE THERE AND MAKE THAT PLAY RIGHT THERE. BUT THEY HIT IT DOWN THE MIDDLE. THE RUN AFTER THE CATCH IS SPECTACULAR BY THESE PACKERS RECEIVERS. .. GRIMES COMES UP WITH IT AND TAKES IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE PACKERS 48; AND THERE YOU SEE NICHOLAS KNOCKS IT OUT. STRAIGHT HUSTLE PLAY. BUT THAT WAS 1 OF JUST A HANDFUL OF MISTAKES MADE BY THE PACKERS ON THE NIGHT. MATT RYAN TO MICHAEL JENKINS. 22 YDS. DOWN TO THE 22 YD. LINE; AND 3 PLAYS LATER ON A 3^RD & 13, IT IS RYAN TO RODDY WHITE. DEION, THIS IS WHAT WE SAW ALL SEASON LONG FROM THIS FOOTBALL TEAM. THIS IS WHAT WE CALL CONSISTENCY IN MATT RYAN TO RODDY WHITE. ONE OF THE BEST HOOKUPS. ONE OF THE BEST CONNECTIONS IN OUR GAME TODAY. 4^TH & INCHES EARLY ON. MIKE SMITH SAYS, “GIVE IT TO THE FULLBACK!” __ MAHALEY PICKS UP THE 1ST DOWN. SMITH, TRYING TO GET HIS 1^ST CAREER PLAYOFF VICTORY; AND NOW IT’S MICHAEL THE BURNER TURNER. TURNER WITH A BUCK 10 AGAINST THE PACKERS. WHEN THESE 2 TEAMS MET DURING THE REGULAR SEASON, GETS IN FOR THE QUICK 7-NOTHING LEAD, AND THIS IS WHAT THE FALCONS WANTED TO DO, COACH. COME RIGHT OUT, ESTABLISH A BALL CONTROL AND GET IN THE END ZONE. YEA, RUN THE BALL; POWER RUNNING GAME; THROW THE BALL EFFECTIVELY AND START FAST. PACKERS GET THE BALL BACK ON A 3^RD & 6. IT IS RYAN WHO HITS GREG JENNINGS, WHO HOLDS ON THIS TIME. 18 YDS. TO THE 23. 2^ND QUARTER, SAME DRIVE. 3^RD & 3 NOW AND IT’S RODGERS WHO DUMPS IT OFF TO JORDY NELSON FOR AN 8 YD. SO MANY WEAPONS. THIS GUY ALWAYS FINDS A HOLE. AND IT’S RODGERS TO NELSON AGAIN, WHO KNOCKS DOWN THE PYLON. SO THE GAME IS TIED UP AT 7. GREAT JOB BY NELSON TO EXTEND, AND WHEN THE BALL HITS THE PYLON, THAT IS 6. SO WE’RE TIED UP AT 7. ENSUING KICKOFF FOR THE FALCONS; AND DIDYODD IT’S ERIC WYNNS. WE ONLY SHOW YOU THIS FOR 1 OR 2 REASONS. IT’S EITHER A BIG PLAY OR A BOOBOO. THIS GUY, NOT ONLY A PRO BOWLER, HE LEADS IN SPECIAL TEAMS AND TACKLES, BUT HE’S A BIG PLAY WAITING TO HAPPEN. I’M A LITTLE UPSET HE DIDN’T DO THE DANCE AND ALL THAT BUT I GIVE HIM SOME LOVE. HE GOT A LITTLE MICHAEL JACKSON IN THERE THOUGH. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT. I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT. AND MASON CROSBIE ENDED UP TRIPPING UP A COUPLE OF HIS TEAMMATES TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR WILLIAMS; AND, PRIME, YOU MENTIONED IT. HE’S ON HIS WAY TO THE PRO BOWL. AARON RODGERS AWARE OF HIS FEET IN THE POCKET. GREAT AWARENESS IN THE POCKET. I SAID LAST WEEK THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE BEST RUNNING QBS BESIDES MICHAEL VICK, AND PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY BUT I THINK THEY CAN BELIEVE ME NOW. JAMES JONES 34 YDS. THERE ON A 3^RD & 3 THOUGH. JONATHAN BABINOU GETS TO RODGERS BUT THERE’S A PENALTY ON THE PLAY. CHRISTOPHER OWENS CALLED FOR ILLEGAL CONTACT ON DONALD LYNCH. WELL THAT’S A LITTLE BIT PICK, HUH? YEA, A LITTLE PICKY, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CORNERS ON THIS. JOHN KUHN HANDLES HIS BUSINESS FROM THERE FROM 1 YD. AWAY. PACKERS TIE THIS GAME UP 14-14. HAVEN’T TRAILED BY MORE THAN 7 PTS. ALL SEASON LONG. MATT RYAN LOOKING FOR MICHAEL JENKINS WHO SLIPS ON THE NFL LOGO; AND TRUMAN WILLIAMS IS THERE FOR THE PICK! WE CAN SAY HE SLIPPED BUT HE HAD TRUMAN WILLIAMS BEAT. HE HAD TO PUT THAT BALL ON HIM, GET IT OUT OF HIS HANDS A LITTLE SOONER.

01:24:20

PACKERS COME RIGHT BACK. GAME’S STILL TIED UP AT 14. IT IS RODGERS TO GREG JENNINGS. GREAT MOVE BY JENNINGS. 20 YDS. TO THE 48. ON 3^RD & 2 NOW, ANOTHER LONG DRIVE FOR THERE PACKERS. RODGERS STEPS UP, KICKS OUT TO HIS RIGHT, AND HIS FLIPS HIS WRIST, COACH! WELL, PRIME TALKS ABOUT HIM BEING A GREAT RUNNER. BUT HE CAN EXTEND A PLAY AND MOVE IN THE POCKET AND KEEP HIS EYES DOWN THE FIELD BETTER THAN ALMOST ANY QB IN THE LEAGUE. THE ONLY GUY TO COMPARE HIM TO IS DREW BREES. THAT’S RIGHT. 9^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE TO JAMES JONES WHO JUST REACHES UP AND TAKES IT AWAY FROM GRIMES. PACKERS ON TOP 21-14. HE’S GOT ABOUT 6 INCHES ON GRIMES THERE. BUT THAT BALL WAS NICELY PLACED. GREAT LOCATION. HERE COME THE FALCONS NOW. 10 SECS. LEFT. THIS IS THE PLAY THAT THEY RUN A LOT. THEY SPRINT MATT RYAN OUT TO THE LEFT SIDE BUT TRUMAN WILLIAMS IS THERE, AND HE TAKES IT 70 YDS. THE OTHER WAY FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. YEA, IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE HE WAS EVEN PREPARED AT THE ONSET OF THIS PLAY; BUT HE’S A PRO BOWL CALIBER CORNER. 7 PICKS ON THE SEASON. I DON’T KNOW HOW IN THE WORLD HE DIDN’T GET TO HAWAII BUT HE’S SHOWING ALL HIS DOUBTERS AND NAYSAYERS THAT HE SHOULD HAVE EARNED A TRIP.

OPENING POSSESSION OF THE 3^RD QUARTER. LOOK AT AARON RODGERS GET AWAY FROM PRESSURE, AND HE THROWS ACROSS HIS BODY. I MEAN GREAT MOBILITY. GREAT…DIFFERENT KINDS OF MOBILITY NOW. THERE’S MIKE … MOBILITY. THEN THERE’S THAT MOBILITY THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXTEND A PLAY. PACKER WIDE RECEIVERS RUNNING FREE IN THE FALCONS SECONDARY. JORDY NELSON, 14 YDS. THERE, AND THIS TIME RODGERS IS GONNA KEEP IT HIMSELF. LOOK AT THIS. 7 YDS., SCRAMBLES FOR THE TD. G.B. 28 UNANSWERED PTS. UP 35-14. WE’RE IN THE .. BABY. THAT’S WHAT HE’S SAYING. THE OPENING DRIVE OF THE 3^RD QUARTER. RODGERS & CO. THEY GET IT BACK. GETS AWAY FROM ABRAHAM BUT NELSON…QBS DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. THIS IS A PROF. DOING THIS. 3 PLAYS LATER, AND MATT RYAN FORCED TO WATCH ON THE SIDELINES. IT IS RODGERS. ANOTHER DART TO DONALD DRIVER, 22 YDS. DOWN THE 11 YD. LINE. YOU THINK AARON RODGERS ISN’T HAVING FUN? 8^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE ON A 2^ND & 6. IT IS RODGERS TO JOHN KUHN, AND KUHN GETS IN FOR A 2^ND TD. OF THE NIGHT. PACKERS GO ON TOP 42-14. THEY SCORE 35 UNANSWERED PTS., AND THE FINAL, THEY WIN IT BY 27. THEY WIN 48 TO 21.

01:27:05 – NEW YORK JETS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

WITH 4 FASCINATING PLAYOFF GAMES, CAPPED OFF WITH.. I LOVE HIM. YOU CALL THIS THE MAIN EVENT, DEION? THE MAIN EVENT. BECAUSE I LOVE HIM TOO. REX RYAN. YOU GOT ANTONIO CROMARTY ..TOM BRADY. HE’S GREAT. GUESS WHO DIDN’T START? WES WELKER. THAT WAS CRAZY. BECAUSE OF THE SUBTLE FOOT PARADE. PUNISH MY POCKET. DON’T PUNISH ME. I GUESS FOOT IN MOUTH PUT HIM ON THE BENCH. SO…WE PICK THINGS UP. WE HAD THE 1^ST POSSESSION GAME TO THE PATRIOTS. THE JETS DID NOT SCORE ON THEIR 1^ST OFF. POSSESSION OF THE GAME. ROD BRONKOWSKI IN HIS 1^ST CAREER PLAYOFF GAME WITH A NICE POSSESSION THERE. TOM BRADY. HOW ABOUT THIS?! HIS FIRST INTERCEPTION IN 340 ATTEMPTS! DAVID HARRISON OF THE JETS CAUGHT FROM BEHIND BY ALGE CRUMPLER. GREAT PLAY. SCREEN UP OVER THE TOP. A LITTLE BIT TOO HIGH TO THE RB’S. THAT HAPPENS ONCE IN AWHILE ON THE SCREEN. LOOK AT IT, OVER THE TOP OF THAT ARM. GREAT READ. AND WHAT A HUGE PLAY BY CRUMPLER. ALGE IN A PLAY BY CRUMPLER, BECAUSE THE JETS OFFENSE LITERALLY OR FIGURATIVELY SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT. FIRST BALL, SHAWN GREEN AND THE QB COLLIDE FOR A 3 YD. LOSS. NEXT PLAY, MARK SANCHEZ, AFTER NIPPING HEELS WITH SHAWN GREEN, FLIPS IT OUT TO LADAINIAN TOMLINSON WHO IS ESSENTIALLY TACKLED BY HIS OFF. LINEMAN! AND THAT’S THE WAY NICK FOLK COMES UP AND PUTS A CHERRY ON TOP BY … THIS BABY WIDE LEFT. IT WAS CLOSE THOUGH RICH. RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THE UPRIGHT! FANS TURNED ON HIM JUST THAT QUICK, RIGHT NOW. RIGHT. IT DID LOOK LIKE THE BALL COULD’VE… IF THEY REPLAY THIS THEY MIGHT GET IT. BUT YOU DON’T REPLAY IT. JETS DON’T REPLAY IT SO THEY’RE SCORELESS; AND BRADY’S 1^ST PICK IN 340 ATTEMPTS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY PTS. WES WELKER COMING IN FOR THE 2^ND OFF. SERIES, 10 YD. GAIN RIGHT THERE. 3 PLAYS LATER, 7^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. TOM BRADY HITS ALGE CRUMPLER WIDE OPEN OVER THE MIDDLE. 28 YD. GAIN DOWN TO THE 12 YD. LINE. THAT’S A BIG MAN. MY GOD, THAT’S A BIG MAN. JETS …2 PLAYS LATER BRADY LOOKS FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED BIG MAN BUT BIG DROP. BIG DROP. GOTTA HAVE THAT ONE IN A PLAYOFF GAME. RIGHT THERE, 2 HANDS ON THE BALL, DOESN’T MAKE THE PLAY. SO, BRADY COMING BACK FOR MORE PTS. HE IS SACKED BY SHAWN ELLIS, AND THAT’S THE WAY THE PATRIOTS HAVE TO SETTLE FOR A F.G. ATTEMPT AND GET THE 1^ST PTS. OF THE GAME. IT’S 3-NOTHING. JETS GETTING THE BALL IN THE 2^ND QUARTER. BUSTS OUT OF THE FIELD 3^RD & 6. SANCHEZ HAS BEEN THROWING HIGH ALL GAME LONG. FINDS BRAYLON EDWARDS. NICE GRAB. HE’S GOT… THAT’S WHAT THEY CALL CHEMISTRY. HE TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO AND HE GIVES YOU THE BALL. AND THEN LADAINIAN TOMLINSON FOLLOWS UP THE BRAYLON EDWARDS CATCH FOR THE TD. CATCH OF HIS OWN. THE FIRST IN 2 YRS. FOR L.T. THAT’S A LONG TIME. AND THE JETS GET THE 1^ST TD. OF THE GAME. IT’S 7-3, LESS THAN 9 MINS. TO GO IN THE 1^ST HALF. BRADY, TRYING TO FIND SOMEBODY. THEY CAN COVER. AND HE TRIES TO GET GRONKOWSKI ON 3^RD & SHORT AND THE JETS HOLD. A NICE COVERAGE SACK RIGHT THERE. HE CAN COVER. FOR THE JETS DEFENSE. LIKE PLASTER. MADE THE PATRIOT GET OFF RHYTHM BY NOT ALLOWING HIM TO THROW ON THE RHYTHM. NEXT JETS POSSESSION WIDE OPEN SANTONIO HOLMES, AND WHO BREAKS IT UP? BRAYLON EDWARDS BROKE IT UP. PUT HIM IN AT FREE SAFETY IF YOU’RE GONNA DO THAT, BRAYLON. SO THE JETS ARE FORCED TO PUNT THERE. SO IT’S STILL JUST A 4 PT. GAME WITH 2 MINS. TO GO. THAT’S TOM BRADY TIME, RIGHT? EXCEPT, HE CAN’T MOVE THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD. TIMING IS OFF. THEY’RE FORCED TO PUNT, AND A FAKE PUNT! THAT’S … PATRICK CHUNG TAKES HIS EYE OFF THE SNAP! AND THE JETS NOW HAVE THE BALL INSIDE THE PATRIOTS 40 WITH 66 TICKS LEFT IN THE HALF! THIS IS ONE OF THOSE GUTSY CALLS BY COACH BELICHICK. NOW IF IT WORKS YOU LOOK LIKE A GENIUS. AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THEY GET STOPPED! BUT THEY’RE MISTAKES THE PATRIOTS NEVER MAKE, AND THEY’RE MAKING THEM TODAY. SO WHAT DO THE JETS DO WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY? LADAINIAN TOMLINSON FIRST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE RIGHT UP THE GUT IN BETWEEN THE TACKLES, 16 YDS. ON THE EDGE OF THE RED ZONE. 3 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & SHORT FROM THE PATRIOTS 15. SANCHEZ TO BRAYLON EDWARDS WHO MAKES A PLAY! THIS IS JUST ABOUT WHO WANTS IT MORE RIGHT HERE. I’M THROWING THE BALL TO A SPOT. WHO WANTS TO GO AND CARRY THE AFC CHAMP. GAME? AND THE JETS ARE SAYING, “WE DO!” AND HE DRAGS 2 PRO BOWLERS INTO THE END ZONE. MCCORDY AND MERRIWEATHER, AND THAT’S THE WAY THE JETS TAKE A 14-3 LEAD INTO THE L.R.

01:31:33

THE PATRIOTS GET THE BALL FIRST BUT CANNOT GET THE BALL PAST MIDFIELD. ON 3^RD & SHORT, BEN JARVIS GREEN-ELLIS SHUT DOWN. BART SCOTT AND DAVID HARRIS SHUTDOWN THE LAW FIRM. THEY GET THE BALL BACK. TOM BRADY IS SACKED BY CALVIN PACE! BALL’S LOOSE! NORMALLY SOMEONE IS OPEN BUT THE JETS ARE COVERING. PATRIOTS DO RECOVER THAT FUMBLE. BRADY SACKED 5 TIMES. THE MOST THE JETS HAVE EVER SACKED TOM BRADY. GETTING PRESSURE WITH THE FRONT 4 DIDN’T NEED ANYBODY BLITZING. WE’LL GET THERE.. JETS POSSESSION, SHAWN GREEN UP THE FRONT. 20 YDS. TO THE PATRIOTS 42 YD. LINE. 3 PLAYS LATER, CAN THE JETS TACK ON PTS. TO THIS 11 PT. LEAD WITH LESS THAN 5 MINS. TO GO IN THE 3^RD QUARTER? THEY CANNOT. AND SANCHEZ THROWS HIGH AIMING FOR JERICHO COTCHERY. BRADY GETS BACK ON THE FIELD. 1^ST PLAY DRIVE, STARTS CLICKING. ROB GRONKOWSKI RIGHT UP THE SEAM, RIGHT UP THE #’S, PLUS SIDE OF THE FIELD 37 YD. GAIN. 3 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & 9. TOM BRADY THROWS IT OUT TO DEION BRANCH WHO MAKES A PLAY. ONE OF THE RARE BLITZES HERE IN THIS GAME. THEY CAUGHT HIM SLEEPING OUT HERE. COMPLETION. 1^ST DOWN. MOVE THE STICKS. 3 PLAYS LATER, 7^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. TOM BRADY GOES TO HIS LITTLE FOOT SOLDIER. AND WES WELKER HOLDS ON OVER THE MIDDLE TO MOVE THE CHAINS. REMEMBER THAT HIT. YOU SEE PIECES OF THE HELMET FLY OFF. NEXT PLAY, 8^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE, BRADY LOOKING FOR THAT BIG MAN AGAIN IN THE END ZONE. AND THIS TIME ALGE CRUMPLER HOLDS ON. AND THAT’S THE FIRST TD. OF THE GAME FOR THE PATRIOTS WHO ARE 13 TICKS LEFT IN THE 3^RD QUARTER. AND OLD MO WEARING A HOODIE.

IT’S NOW 14…WHAT DOES THE CHART SAY, STEVE? IT SAYS GO FOR 2. ONLY IN BELICHICK’S WORLD IT DOES; AND I’LL TELL YOU WHAT? THEY DREW IT UP NICELY! IT’S JUST A F.G. GAME. 13 TICKS TO GO IN THE 3^RD QUARTER, AND THEY’RE FIRED-UP IN GILLETTE. 4^TH QUARTER WE GO!

SANCHEZ GETTING THE BALL BACK. FINDS JERICHO COTCHERY OVER THE MIDDLE AND JERICHO’S RUNNING. HE IS RUNNING. JERICHO LEAPS OVER THE WALL! AND HE’S STILL GOING! ZONE DEFENSE, YOU GO THAT FAR. NOBODY’S MAKING A TACKLE. HE PICKS UP A BLOCK. BIG PLAY BY THE JETS! 58 YD. PLAY. 3 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & 4 FROM THE PATRIOTS 7. HUGE PLAY. HOLY SUPER BOWL, 43 BATMAN! IT’S SANTONIO HOLMES IN THE CORNER FOR THE TD.! ONE KNEE EQUALS 2 FEET, DOESN’T IT? IT DOES AND CHECKING THE REPLAY. THAT’S A TD. AS HE HOLDS ONTO THE FOOTBALL GOING DOWN TO THE GROUND. WHAT A GREAT CONCENTRATION. GREAT FOCUS. SO THE JETS RESPOND WITH A TD. OF THEIR OWN. TAKE A 10 PT. LEAD WITH 10 MINS. TO GO; AND BRADY BEGAN TO METHODICALLY MOVE THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD. ON 3^RD DOWN HE FINDS DEION BRANCH. THIS IS NOW THE 12^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE AS THEY WERE HANDING IT OFF ..TO DANNY HOOD AND ACTING LIKE, TO BE HONEST, LIKE THEY WERE UP BY 10 INSTEAD OF BEING DOWN BY 10. LOOK, ANOTHER 6 MINS. TO GO. BRADY AVOIDS THE SACK FOR JUSTIN PICKS. PUTS BRADY DOWN FOR THE 5^TH TIME OF THE DAY. NEXT PLAY, 13TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. 5-1/2 TO GO. BRADY ..ALL KINDS OF TIME. RUSH! SOMEBODY HAS TO BE OPEN, RIGHT? NO. COVERAGE? NOBODY’S OPEN. INCREDIBLE. WOW. INCREDIBLE. WHAT A GAME PLAN BY REX RYAN THE LAST COUPLE OF WKS. TO BACK OFF OF THESE GREAT QBS. A COVERAGE SACK. THAT’S WHAT IT IS. THERE’S NOWHERE TO GO WITH THE FOOTBALL. LOOK THIS. OR COVERAGE THROW I GUESS. NOT A SACK BUT THERE’S COVERAGE THROWAWAY. SO THE PATRIOTS GO FOR IT ON 4^TH DOWN BECAUSE THERE’S A LITTLE WIND IN THEIR FACE. 52 YDS. AND A BIT CHUNKY FOR SHAUN SUISSEM AND BRADY AND BRANCH CANNOT CONNECT, AND THE JETS GET THE PATRIOTS TO TURN IT OVER ON DOWNS. AFTER THAT LONG DRIVE, THE PATRIOTS GET NO PTS. AND THERE’S ONLY 5:15 LEFT ON THE CLOCK. THE JETS GET THE BALL BACK BUT GO 3 & OUT. JETS FORCED TO PUNT. PATRIOTS DON’T USE ANY OF THEIR TIMEOUTS UNTIL RIGHT THERE. THEY’VE GOT 2 LEFT. GETTING THE BALL BACK, AND HERE COMES JULIAN EDELMAN UP THE SEAM! OH MAN, NICE RUN AND IT WAS JUST A SEAM. THE JETS ARE OUT OF POSITION. DON’T ASK ME WHY. 41 YD. PUNT RETURN TO THE JETS 43. BRADY TO GRONKOWSKI OVER THE MIDDLE. NOW THE PATRIOTS ARE INSIDE THE RED ZONE WITH 2 MINS. & 45 SECS. TO GO. WITH 2 TIMEOUTS LEFT, THEY HAVE TO SCORE BEFORE THE 2 MIN. WARNING; OTHERWISE, THEY MIGHT BE FORCED TO GO ONSIDES TO GET THE BALL BACK IF THEY SCORE. WOULD THEY SCORE? HERE’S WELKER. GREAT .. DOESN’T GET OUT OF BOUNDS. SO KEEP THE CLOCK WINDING WITH THE 2 MIN. WARNING COMING UP ON 4^TH DOWN! THEY GOTTA RUSH SHAWN GRAHAM OUT. I SAY RAWSHEN GRAHAM OUT BEFORE THE 2 MIN. WARNING. THEY HAVE TO SCORE, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT HAVE TO GO ONSIDES, AND THE 2 MIN. WARNING ARRIVES BEFORE GRAHAM KICKS IT AND HITS THE UPRIGHT! IT WOULD’VE BEEN NO GOOD IF HE GOT IT OFF. SO IT WAS A BONUS THAT THE 2 MIN. WARNING ARRIVED BECAUSE AFTER THE 2 MIN. WARNING, GRAHAM KICKS IT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE UPRIGHTS. IT’S A 2 POSSESSION GAME. JUST 1 TD. DOWN. IT’S TIME TO GO ONSIDES UP THE MIDDLE, AND THE BALL’S FREE!! WHO PICKS IT UP OF ALL THINGS?!! GO DOWN!! WE DON’T TEACH THAT AT FLORIDA STATE. WE DON’T GO DOWN. WHO PICKS IT UP INSTEAD OF FALLING ON IT! IT IS CROMARTY! THE F-BOMBER HIMSELF! REVIS HAS IT RIGHT IN HIS MITTS. IT GOES THROUGH THE KING OF HANDS TEAM. YOU PICK IT UP NOW? YES YOU DO. THAT’S WHAT WE TEACH AT FLORIDA ST. WE DON’T DOWN HOLDS. NEXT JETS POSSESSION, SHAWN GREEN AROUND THE EDGE! DOES HE SLIDE TO END THE GAME? NO. HE GOES IN THE END ZONE AND THEN GOES DOWN THE SLIDE. AND WHO’S THERE TO GREET HIM?! REX. I THINK YOU SAID SLIDE NEXT TIME? NO. REX HIGH-STEPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE. I MEAN SHAWN GREEN STIFF-ARMING JARROD MAYO, WHO’S GOING TO THE PRO BOWL.. AND, LOOK AT REX. IT’S PARTY TIME. LOOK AT THE PARTY TIME. I CAN TAKE … LOOK AT HIM, LIKE FRED SANFORD GOING DOWN THERE. YOU SAW THE FLAG THAT FLEW IN BECAUSE SHAWN GREEN WENT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND USED THE BALL AS A PILLOW TO CELEBRATE SAYING HE’S PUTTING THE PATRIOTS TO SLEEP. WELL, WHAT THAT DID WAS EXTEND THE GAME, QUITE FRANKLY, BECAUSE THE PATS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE BALL BACK. AND WITH IT, TOM BRADY, WITH NO TIMEOUTS LEFT, IT’S DANNY WOODHEAD OVER THE MIDDLE, AND WITH TIME TICKING DOWN, THEY’VE GOTTA GET THE BALL IN THE HANDS OF BRADY QUICKLY. THEY DO. LESS THAN 30 SECS. TO GO, BRADY FINDS DEION BRANCH. SO NOW THEY CAN GO ONSIDES ONCE AGAIN. MAYBE GET A HAIL MARY AND FORCE THE FIRST OVERTIME WITH THE NEW OVERTIME RULE. GAME SHOULD’VE BEEN OVER. UH, OH. AND THEY GO TO THE BALL AGAIN. OH, THEY FALL ON IT. THEY DON’T JUST PICK IT UP. AND THAT’S THE WAY THE JETS..CARTWHEEL THEIR WAY INTO THE AFC CHAMP. GAME IN PITTS. NEXT WEEK.

01:38:30 – SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ CHICAGO BEARS

LET’S GET TO THE SNOW IN CHICAGO. MATT HASSELBECK AFTER BEATING THE DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPS, TAKING ON JAY CUTLER IN CHICAGO. CUTLER’S FIRST CAREER PLAYOFF GAME. HIS FIRST CAREER PLAYOFF PASS ATTEMPT IS A BIG TIME TOUCHDOWN! OH, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. MUST STEP UP. IT GOES RIGHT BY LAWYER MALLOY. HE SETTLED DOWN AND SEE YA. THIS ONE’S TOO EASY. RIGHT UP THE SEAM 58 YDS. 3 PLAYS INTO THE GAME FOR THE BEARS OFFENSE. IT IS A TD. FOR JAY CUTLER. HOW WOULD MATT HASSELBECK RESPOND? HASSELBECK, LOOK OUT JOHN CARLSON BELOW. BOOM! HE HITS THE SIDELINE AND YOU CAN SEE, HE IS KNOCKED OUT. IT IS. THAT’S CALLED THE DEFENSE REACTION OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. WE’VE GOT MATT H. FINDING THE GUY WHO COMES IN FOR CARLSON __ __. BUT MORA CAN’T CORRAL IT. THAT’S A BIG MISS RIGHT THERE. DON’T YOU GET INTO MY BABY! AND THEY DO. HE SAID HE WAS GONNA KICK IT TO…   DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DO THAT. DEVIN HESTER. 26 YD. RETURN. SETTING UP THE BEARS IN QUALITY FIELD POSITION. WHAT DO THEY DO WITH IT? CUTLER LOOKS FOR __ AGAIN. GREG OLSEN. YEA, HE CAME OUT OF THE BACKFIELD TOO. THEY USE HIM AS A RECEIVER, AS A T.E. HE CAME OUT OF THE BACKFIELD AS A … THEY’VE BEEN USING HIM ALL SEASON LONG. 33 YDS. DOWN TO THE SEAHAWKS 12. 2 PLAYS LATER, CUTLER WILL DO THIS SOMETIMES. LOOKS LIKE A RUN PLAY. ..RECEIVER. KNOX WENT BEHIND THE DEFENDER INSTEAD OF IN FRONT OF HIM. NEVER LET A GUY GET IN FRONT OF YOU ON A SLANT. TELL HIM PLAYMAKER. JORDAN BABINOU REALLY NEEDING CORRAL BACK BECAUSE NEW LIFE ON 4^TH DOWN. CUTLER GETS THE 1^ST DOWN WITH THE SNEAK, AND THAT’S PRETTY MUCH A GIMME FROM THERE. 2 PLAYS LATER FOR CHESTER TAYLOR. CHESTER! INSTEAD OF BABINOU PICKING IT OFF AND DOING LORD KNOWS WHAT WITH IT. ..THE WHOLE DISTANCE FROM THAT POSITION WITH EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE END ZONE. IT’S 14 NOTHING INSTEAD OF MAKING IT A 7 TO WHATEVER GAME IT MIGHT’VE BEEN. AS FOR MATT HASSELBECK, THE MAGIC CERTAINLY WAS NOT THERE IN THE FLURRIES THE FIRST HALF, LOOKING FOR MIKE WILLIAMS. INCOMPLETE. BEARS NOW GET THE BALL BACK. CUTLER GOES 1 WAY. OLSEN GOES THE OTHER. IT WAS A MONSTER 1^ST HALF FOR THE T.E. FOR THE CHICAGO BEARS. 113 RECEIVING YDS. IN THE 1^ST HALF FOR GREG OLSEN. 5 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & 4. CUTLER TO HIS VANDERBILT TEAMMATE, DARRELL BENNETT, DOWN TO THE SEAHAWKS 11. SO IT’S A 1^ST DOWN ON A 3^RD DOWN; AND THEN 3 PLAYS LATER 3^RD & 5. GETS ANOTHER 3^RD DOWN CONVERSION AND A TD. FOR JAY CUTLER. THEY CALLED, ACTUALLY, THEY CALLED THE QB DRAW. HE’S A TOUGH GUY. HE’S GOT SOME MOBILITY, AND THEY’RE TAKING A CHANCE ON HIS HEALTH. BUT, BOY, GET IT IN THERE! HE TAKES ON EARL THOMAS…AND JORDAN BABINOU. 21-NOTHING BEARS AT THE HALF; AND THE 3^RD QUARTER OPENING POSSESSION FOR THE SEAHAWKS. HASSELBECK PASS IS NEARLY PICKED BY CHARLES TILLMAN. YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT CHARLES. YEA, HE DID THE PUSHUPS. HE KNEW. I CAN’T CATCH.

SO CUTLER GETS THE BALL BACK. WHAT DOES HE DO WITH IT? RUNS IT AGAIN. I DON’T KNOW. I NEVER DROPPED BALLS. ME NEITHER. PICKS UP ON 3^RD DOWN. 5 PLAYS LATER CUTLER, 3^RD DOWN AGAIN. IT’S A .. EVERYBODY. JOHNNY KNOX, 1^ST DOWN. WIDE OPEN. 6 PLAYS LATER IT’S 3^RD DOWN. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS? NICE HAVING SOMEBODY WIDE OPEN. SO NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES? HE RUNS IT IN! HEY, THIS WAS A GREAT PLAY BECAUSE IT TOLD ME HE’S A GUNSLINGER. HE HAD A GUY OPEN IN FRONT OF HIM BUT HE HELD ONTO IT. HE UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO GET THAT BALL BACK. 28-NOTHING. THE ROUTE’S ON. IT’S 28-3. MATT FORTE. I DON’T GET IT. I DON’T GET IT. WITH A DIRECT SNAP AND HE THROWS A POINT. HE’S NOT GONNA GET ANOTHER SHOT AT THAT PLAY. THAT WAS A ROUTE. THAT’S IT. I GUESS MARTZ WAS FEELING HIS OATS RIGHT THERE. SEEMS LIKE EVERYBODY PLAYED QB IN THE PEEWEE LEAGUE. HE WAS TRYING TO GET IN … SOMETHING TO WORK ON FOR NEXT WEEK. AARON KELLY WITH THE PICK AND 9 PLAYS LATER THAT PICK’S TURNED INTO PTS. MIKE WILLIAMS. DID HE DO FOR YOU?! 28-10…IS THE SCORE. SEAHAWKS GET THE BALL BACK. HASSELBECK SACKED BY ISRAEL __. BUT, NO, THE HEAT CAME FROM.. 6-1/2 TO GO, AND PETE CARROLL’S MAGIC CARPET RIDE CINDERELLA RUN IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME. CUTLER ON 3RD & 1. I LIKE THAT CALL. KELLEN DAVIS! OH, YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT PLAY. HERE COMES THE ROOKIE. YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT PLAY. AND CUTLER, IN HIS FIRST CAREER PLAYOFF GAME, DOES SOMETHING THAT ONLY OTTO GRAHAM’S DONE. WE’LL TELL YOU WHAT THAT IS IN A MOMENT WHILE WE WATCH THE REST OF THESE HIGHLIGHTS PLAY OUT. IT’S BRANDON STOKELY ON 1^ST DOWN. DOWN 35 TO 10. NEVER SAY DIE I GUESS IN THE PLAYOFFS, AS HASSELBECK ALMOST PICKED OFF. MIKE WILLIAMS PICKS IT UP FROM CHARLES TILLMAN. I SAW THAT. HE HAD THE RECEPTION. DID HE EVER DO THAT FOR YOU STEVE? NEVER. CHARLES TILLMAN. HE NEEDS TO PUT ON 2 CASTS. SO IT’S 35-17 WITH 2:16 TO GO. PETE CARROLL GOING FOR THE ONSIDE KICK. DID THEY GET IT? DID THEY GET IT? FIGHT FOR IT! IT’S BEARS BALL. PETE CARROLL NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT AS HIS TEAM HAD ALL SORTS OF OPPORTUNITIES TO TRY AND CORRAL IT. BEARS, WHAT DO THEY DO WITH IT? 4^TH & 3, GO FOR IT. AND IT’S INCOMPLETE. TURNOVER ON DOWNS. SEAHAWKS CAN’T PULL THIS ONE OUT. KEEP THROWING IT. KEEP WINGING IT MATT. THESE HIGHLIGHTS KEEP GOING ON. DOES THAT MEAN THAT HASSELBECK’S GONNA FIND BEN __ WIDE OPEN, 46 YDS.? IT SURE DOES! NICE THROW AND CATCH. INSIDE THE 10. 1:27 LEFT. ..IN THE SEAHAWKS. NO QUIT. HASSELBECK TO BRANDON STOKELY! IT’S AN 11 PT. GAME. JUST 2 POSSESSIONS GOING FOR THE ONSIDE KICK AGAIN. YOU SEE HANDS TEAMS ON THE FIELD TODAY. WELL IT’S FINALLY OVER HERE AS JOHNNY KNOX WRAPS THINGS UP. CHICAGO BEARS WILL BE PLAYING FOR THE HALAS TROPHY IN SOLDIER FIELD BUT AGAINST, FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE G.B. PACKERS AS JAY CUTLER DOES GET THE BEARS TO THE CHAMP. GAME BY WINNING HIS FIRST CAREER PLAYOFF START, AND LOVIE’S 4 QUARTERS AWAY FROM GOING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL.
