01:10:15 - PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ TENNESSEE TITANS
 STEELERS HOSTING THE TITANS.  BEN ROETHLISBERGER, LOTS OF QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS HEALTH ENTERING THIS GAME.  HE’S GOT THAT FOOT INJURY.  HE LOOKED GOOD EARLY ON.  PUMP FAKING, THEY’RE LOOKING OVER THE MIDDLE TO HEATH MILLER WHO GETS INTO THE END ZONE FOR HIS FIRST TD. OF THE SEASON.  AN 8 YD. SCORE.  STEELERS GO UP 7-3.  ONTO THE 2ND.  A 4TH & 5 AT MIDFIELD.  DANIEL SEPULVEDA HOLDS IT DOWN.  INSTEAD OF PUNTING, THROWS TO RYAN MUNDY, AND HE WILL BREAK A TACKLE, STILL ON HIS FEET.  PICKS UP 33 TO THE TENN. 17.  SEPULVEDA LOOKS FOR THE KICK BUT INSTEAD, INSTEAD OF PUNTING, HOLDS IT DOWN AND THROWS IT TO MUNDY.  A PERFECT STRIKE.  LOOKING LIKE BIG BEN WITH THE ACCURACY, AND THEY GET THE 1ST DOWN.  SO A 1ST & GOAL.  2 PLAYS LATER.  ROETHLISBERGER WITH THE PLAY FAKE AND HE WILL FIND HINES WARD.  FOR HINES, 1ST TD. OF THE SEASON.  SO THAT PUTS PITTS. UP 7…14-3; AND HINES DOING A LITTLE DANCE LIKE HE’S ON THE TV.  WELL HE WAS.  THIS TIME THEY GIVE IT TO JONATHAN DRYER, THE GUY FROM GEORGIA, MAKING A MOVE TO THE OUTSIDE, TAKES IT TO THE SIDELINE ALL THE WAY DOWNFIELD.  HE WILL GET CAUGHT FROM BEHIND; BUT A 76 YD. PICKUP.  THAT IS THE BIGGEST THING HE HAS DONE SINCE ENTERING THE NFL, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 14.  4 PLAYS LATER ROETHLISBERGER ROLLING TO HIS RIGHT UNDERNEATH.  HE’LL HIT DAVID JOHNSON, HIS T.E. FROM ARKANSAS ST.  GETS INTO THE END ZONE.  ROETHLISBERGER HOBBLING BUT HE PUTS THE STEELERS UP 21-3.  ONTO THE 3RD.  BIG BEN THROWING OVER THE MIDDLE.  WHAT A LASER TO HEATH MILLER.  A PICKUP OF 20 DOWN TO THE 22.  PERFECT PASS ON THE MONEY BY ROETHLISBERGER.  5 PLAYS LATER IT’S A 3RD & 4.  NOBODY IN THE BACKFIELD.  ROETHLISBERGER RIGHT OVER THE TOP TO HINES WARD AND THE SHORT SLANT ROUTE, AND HINES JUMPS OVER MICHAEL GRIFFIN INTO THE END ZONE.  SO WARD, WITH 2 TDS. IN THE GAME.  BIG BEN WITH 4.  STEELERS UP 28-3, ABSOLUTELY ROLLING.  SO MATT HASSELBECK TRYING TO BRING TENN. BACK WITH THE PUMP FAKE, AND HE WILL THROW IT TO NATE WASHINGTON.  TAKES IT RIGHT DOWN TO THE 1.  BEING BROUGHT DOWN.  VERY NEXT PLAY IT’S CHRIS JOHNSON.  HUGE HOLE FOR HIM.  HE JUST WALKS INTO THE END ZONE.  IT’S A BIG MOMENT FOR HIM.  EVEN THOUGH HIS TEAM IS DOWN, HIS FIRST TD. OF THE SEASON.  TENN. ATTEMPTS THE ONSIDE KICK, AND THEY’RE ABLE TO GET IT.  SO MATT HASSELBECK THROWING RIGHT AFTER THAT.  HIS PASS IS TIPPED BY GREG __.  INTERCEPTED BY LAMAR WOODLEY.  LED TO A F.G. FOR PITTS.  SO THEY GO UP 31-10, JUST LOOKING TO HANG ONTO A BIG LEAD.  3RD & GOAL FOR TENN.  HASSELBECK WITH THE PUMP FAKE, THROWS THE OTHER DIRECTION.  DAMIAN WILLIAMS WITH HIS 2ND TD. CATCH OF THE SEASON.  A 19 YD. GRAB.  SO IT’S JUST A 14 PT. GAME NOW.  ROETHLISBERGER GOES RIGHT BACK TO WORK SPLITTING THE DOUBLE COVERAGE.  MIKE WALLACE, HIS 3RD TD.

01:13:21 – CINCINNATI BENGALS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
 BEN ROETHLISBERGER IN HIS 8TH SEASON.  WE HAVE ROOKIE QB’S IN JACKSONVILLE.  ANDY DALTON, THE 35TH OVERALL PICK.  THE 10TH OVERALL SELECTION, BLANE GABBERT.  1ST PLAY OF THE GAME, MAURICE JONES-DREW, 13 YDS.  GREAT JOB BY BLANE GABBERT…TOSSING THE BALL.  THAT WAS GOOD PITCH, RIGHT?  YEA IT WAS.  WE’RE GONNA BE POSITIVE TODAY.  WHY?  JONES-DREW NOW WITH 10,000 ALL PURPOSE YDS. AND A BROKEN TACKLE AND .. WOW.  THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL EARNING 6 RIGHT THERE, ISN’T IT?  IT’S SCARY.  32 YDS.  JAGUARS UP 7-0.  BENGALS WITH THE BALL NOW.  PLENTY OF TIME FOR ANDY DALTON WORKING IT DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE TO A.J. GREEN.  THAT’S 13 ISN’T IT?  3RD & 17?  YEA, YEA.  3RD & 17.  AREN’T MANY CALLS TO MAKE ON 3RD & 17.  GIVE IT TO A.J. GREEN.  OUTSIDE AT 7, 2ND QUARTER.  LOOKING FOR A.J. GREEN ONCE AGAIN BUT THIS IS DWIGHT LOWERY.  YEA, FLOATER.  FLOATER.  YEA, YOUNG GUY.  YOU GOTTA HAVE THE RIGHT KIND OF ARM.  NICE HIT.  ANDY GAULT MAKING THE PLAY.  LED TO A JOSH SCOBIE F.G., AND THE JAGUARS LED 10-7.  COUPLE OF JACKSONVILLE POSSESSIONS LATER.  FIRST & 10, GIVE IT BACK TO MAURICE JONES-DREW.  LET HIM DO HIS THING FOR 25 YDS.  YEA.  THIS IS THE OFFENSE OF JACKSONVILLE.  HOW IS HE NOT DOWN THERE?  WELL HE LOOKED DOWN TO ME.  HE’S PART OF THE OFFENSE.  I LIKE WHAT I SAW OUT OF THE YOUNG KID.  THAT’S DOWN.  NOW WATCH.  HE GOES DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOUCHED OR HIT BY CINCY DEFENDER.  PLAY WAS NOT REVIEWED.  WOW.  THAT’S CRAZY.  THE OFFICIALS ARE HUMAN TOO.  THEY MAKE MISTAKES.  RIGHT.  EXACTLY.  EVERYTHING IS MOVING SO FAST.  IT LED TO A F.G.  MADE IT 13-7.  PUMP-FAKE.  RUSH TO THE RIGHT.  FIND YOUR T.E.  JERMAINE GRESHAM.  BENGAL TD.  GO RIGHT, THROW LEFT.  THAT’S RIGHT.  ROOKIE QB.  THAT USUALLY EQUATES TO DANGER.  HOW ABOUT THIS?  WOW.  MIKE NUGENT PUSHING TO THE RIGHT.  SCORE TIED AT 13 AT HALFTIME.  INTO THE 4TH QUARTER NOW.  JACKSONVILLE TRAILING 16-13.  THIS IS 2ND DOWN, 14.  BLANE GABBERT OFF THE PLAY ACTION.  STEPPING UP AND FINDING IT.  JASON HILL.  WOW.  WOW.  ONLY GUY IN THE PICTURE.  PROBLEM IS, THAT BALL SHOULDA COME OUT ABOUT 5 SECS. EARLIER.  BLOWN COVERAGE.  IF YOU SEE  IT THAT WIDE OPEN BEFORE YOU ..I MEAN, YEA, THAT’S A BLOWN COVERAGE.  WHERE’S MY SAFETY HELP?  THAT’S WHAT THE CORNER’S SAYING.  WHERE’S MY SAFETY HELP.  CORNER’S PLAYING ZONE DEFENSE.  LOOKED LIKE THE SAFETY MAY’VE BEEN PLAYING MAN ON SOMEBODY ELSE.  O.K.  SO JAGUARS LEADING IT 20-16.  CINCY NOW 4TH & 6.  JERMAINE GRESHAN BEEN SHOWING UP IN A LOT OF HIGHLIGHTS THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS.  I WAS GONNA SAY, THERE’S NO JACKSONVILLE DEFENDER THAT’S GONNA BE ABLE TO GO UP AGAINST THAT.  AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THEY HAVE SOME OF THE BEST YOUNG SKILL IN THIS LEAGUE RIGHT NOW.  THEY DO.  BERNARD SCOTT, 2 YD. TOUCH.  CINCY LEADING NOW 23-20.  NEXT JACKSONVILLE DRIVE.  3RD DOWN & 1 AT THE JAGUARS 42.  THERE’S THE SNAP I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.  YEP.  IT CAN’T HAPPEN.  THAT WASN’T NECESSARILY A BAD SNAP.  GABBERT JUST WASN’T WAITING FOR IT.  PLENTY OF TIME TO DRIVE 30, 40 YDS.  KICK THE F.G. TO TIE IT AND GO TO O.T.  IF NOT, SCORE THE TD. AND WIN.  YOU JUST CAN’T HAVE THAT HAPPEN.  THEN YOU GOTTA RECOVER IT.  JACKSONVILLE DID GET 1 FINAL CHANCE FACING 1ST & 10 ON THEIR OWN 14.  THIS ISN’T GOING TO GO WELL.  GABBERT TO JASON HILL.  YOU KNOW IT’S COMING.  ALL THE PITCHES, AND IT’S COMING …  A TURNOVER.  THAT’S REALLY AWFUL RIGHT THERE.  LOOKS LIKE WHEN RONNIE BROWN WAS DOING AT THE GOAL LINE LAST WEEK IN PHILA.  YEA.  SO THAT’S HOW IT COMES TO AN END.  RIGHT THERE.  BENGALS ..A LITTLE EXTRA CENTER.  YEA, DOUBLE DIGIT VICTORY.  30-20, AND ANDY DALTON AND HIS BENGALS.  MY GUESS HAS TO BE THAT THAT CINCY DEFENSE STILL RANKED #1 IN YDS. ALLOWED?  WOULDN’T YOU THINK, AFTER PLAYING JACKSONVILLE.

 

01:17:29 – NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS
 THE FIRST DIVISIONAL GAME OF THE SEASON FOR THE SAINTS AND THE PANTHERS.  DREW BREES LOOKING TO EXTEND HIS WINNING STREAK TO 4 STRAIGHT.  1ST QUARTER, PANTHERS DOWN 10-NOTHING.  3RD & 11, CAM NEWTON ESCAPES FROM PRESSURE.  FINDS STEVE SMITH WHO DIVES FOR THE BALL.  BREAKS FREE.  AND HE WALTZES INTO THE END ZONE; AND THEN THERE COMES A LATE HIT.  ROMAN HARPER RUNNING INTO STEVE SMITH IN THE END ZONE.  PANTHERS ON THE BOARD.  BUT THEN A FIGHT BREAKS OUT.  HE WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE LATE HIT.  EVERYBODY GETS INVOLVED.  YOU KNOW STEVE SMITH IS A PHYSICAL PLAYER.  PROBABLY THE WRONG GUY TO HIT IN THE END ZONE.  THEY WOULD MISS THE EXTRA POINT.  SO THEY WERE DOWN 10-6.  DREW BREES TRYING TO GO RIGHT BACK TO WORK AND HE WILL HIT JIMMY GRAHAM WHO SHAKES OFF A TACKLE AND TAKES IT 25 YDS. DOWN TO THE 13 YD. LINE.  MARK INGRAM WOULD CAP OFF THE DRIVE WITH A TD.  SAINTS GO UP 17-6.  HOW ABOUT DEANGELO WILLIAMS ON THE OPTION PLAY.  GETS A BLOCK DOWNFIELD.  HE WILL ESCAPE A TACKLE, AND THEN PUT THE JUKES ON RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, MALCOLM JENKINS TAKES IT INTO THE END ZONE.  THAT IS DEANGELO WILLIAMS’ 1ST RUSHING TD. SINCE 2009.  PANTHERS ONLY DOWN 17-13.  HOW ABOUT THIS SCREEN PASS TO DARREN SPROLES AS THEY PICKUP 12 YDS.  THE SAINTS COMING RIGHT BACK AT IT.  THAT WAS ON A 3RD & 20.  THEY’RE TRYING TO SET THINGS UP FOR A F.G.  CLOCK IS TICKING.  THEY ARE TRYING TO GET IT OFF, AND TIME EXPIRES.  THEY’RE GOING TO HALFTIME BUT WAIT A SECOND.  RON RIVERA, THE PANTHERS COACH, CALLED A TIMEOUT WITH 2 SECS. LEFT.  HE THOUGHT HE HAD TOO MANY MEN ON THE FIELD.  SO THE SAINTS DID END UP WITH THE F.G.  THEY GO UP 20-13.  THEN IN THE 3RD QUARTER, DOWN BY 10, CAROLINA.  IT’S CAM NEWTON HITTING BRANDON __, BUT HIS KNEE IS RULED DOWN BEFORE HE SCORED THE TD.  THE RULING ON THE FIELD WAS A TD.  IT WOULD BE OVERTURNED.  SO, THEY WOULD PUNCH IT IN FROM A YARD OUT.  AND THEN N.O. TRYING TO GO BACK IN, EXTEND THEIR LEAD.  BUT THE PASS IS PICKED OFF OF JIMMY GRAHAM’S FINGERTIPS.  INTERCEPTED BY SHARROD MARTIN.  DREW BREES’ ONLY INTERCEPTION OF THE GAME.  CAM NEWTON, ONLY DOWN BY 3 HERE, LATE 3RD QUARTER, ALL KINDS OF TIME TRYING TO DIRECT HIS RECEIVERS.  HE ESCAPES SOME PRESSURE.  STILL ON HIS FEET.  HE’S GOING TO TRY AND RUN THIS ONE HIMSELF.  HE HAULS IT DOWN.  HE WILL SLIP AND FALL.  BUT HE PICKED UP THE 1ST DOWN.  GREG WILLIAMS IS WONDERING HOW MUCH TIME ARE WE GOING TO GIVE THIS GUY?  4TH QUARTER, SAME DRIVE AFTER ROUGHING THE PASSER PENALTY.  NEWTON WILL HIT GREG OLSEN FOR THE 5 YD. SCORE.  CAROLINA AT HOME GOES UP OVER THE SAINTS 27-23.  A 3RD & 3 FOR DREW BREES.  COULD HE EXTEND HIS TEAM’S DRIVE?  AND HE DOES.  JIMMY GRAHAM, HIS FAVORITE TARGET.  HE HAD 8 CATCHES, 129 YDS., AND THEN PIERRE THOMAS, NOT A BAD TIME FOR HIS 1ST TD. OF THE SEASON WITH UNDER A MINUTE TO GO ON A 2ND & 1.  GETS THE TD. CATCH.  SAINTS GO UP 3-27.  BUT WITH CAM NEWTON IT’S NEVER OVER.  A 4TH DOWN PASS IS INCOMPLETE.  SAILS OVER HIS RECEIVER’S HEAD.  INTENDED FOR GREG OLSEN BUT WAIT A SECOND.  PASS INTERFERENCE CALLED ON ROMAN HARPER WHO IS JUST UPSET WITH THE CALL, AND THE PANTHERS GET A 1ST DOWN.  SO WITH 4 SECS. LEFT, PROBABLY THEIR LAST PLAY OF THE GAME.  CAM NEWTON ROLLS TO HIS RIGHT.  THROWS DOWNFIELD AND IT WILL GO INCOMPLETE!  SAINTS PULL OFF THE WIN ON THE ROAD.  THEY HAVE NOW WON 4 IN A ROW SINCE LOSING THE OPENER AT G.B.

01:25:00 – PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ BUFFALO BILLS
 THE EAGLES HAVE BLOWN 3 STRAIGHT GAMES WHERE THEY HAD THE LEAD IN THE 4TH QUARTER.  BILLS HAVEN’T BEATEN PHILLY SINCE 1999.  LOOKING TO CHANGE THAT.  VICK, GETS HIS BALL PICKED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.  IT IS PICKED OFF BY REGGIE CORNER.  WITH A NAME LIKE THAT LIVING UP TO HIS REPUTATION.  PHILLY’S 11TH TURNOVER OF THE SEASON.  VICK GOES BACK, UNDER PRESSURE WITH THE SCREEN AND JUST GETTING A HAND ON THE BALL, ALEX HARRINGTON TAKES IT UP, AND THE BILLS GET THE INTERCEPTION.  THEIR 9TH PICK OF THE SEASON.  FRED JACKSON WOULD FINISH THAT OFF WITH A TD. AND THEN GO RIGHT BACK TO IT.  VICK AGAIN HIT AS HE THREW.  BALL IS PICKED OFF BY GEORGE WILSON.  WILSON, HIS 3RD STRAIGHT GAME WITH AND INTERCEPTION.  MICHAEL VICK WONDERING WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED.  HE JUST GOT CRUSHED AS HE WAS THROWING THE BALL BY ARTHUR MOTTS NAILED HIM.  1ST TIME IN HIS CAREER WITH 2 PICKS IN THE 1ST QUARTER.  2ND QUARTER, EAGLES DOWN 7-NOTHING.  VICK SCRAMBLING, GOING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THROWS DOWN THE FIELD AND OVERTHROWS HIS MAN JEREMY MACKLIN.  BUT AT LEAST HE HAD SOME TIME ON THAT ONE.  HE DID GET HIT IN THE HEAD BY DANNY BATTON.  SO THAT WOULD BE A FLAG.  AN AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWN KEEPS THE DRIVE GOING.  2ND & GOAL VICK AT THE END ZONE, AND HE WILL FIND JEREMY MACKLIN FOR A 2 YD. SCORE.  SO THAT TIES UP THE GAME AT 7.  SO DESPITE THE EARLY MISTAKES, PHILLY’S IN THIS ONE.  NOW BUFFALO TRYING TO GO TO WORK.  THE DUMP-OFF PASS TO FRED JACKSON ON THE SCREEN.  HE’S GOT PLENTY OF GREEN IN FRONT OF HIM AND NO GREEN EAGLES DEFENDERS UNTIL FINALLY HE IS BROUGHT DOWN JUST SHY OF THE 10 YD.

WITH THE BILLS AFTER SIGNING WITH THEM IN THE OFFSEASON.  THEY GO UP 28-7.  COULD THE COMEBACK BE ON FOR PHILA.?  DON’T EVER COUNT OUT MICHAEL VICK, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE HAS ROOM IN FRONT OF HIM.  HE PULLS THE BALL DOWN AND WILL RUN IT HIMSELF.  BLOCKING IN FRONT OF HIM.  GETS A NICE BLOCK BY LESEAN MCCOY.  TAKES IT DOWN AFTER PICKING UP 53 YDS. INSIDE THE 10.  WOULD LEAD TO A TD. RUN BY LESEAN MCCOY.  HE ALSO PASSED RANDALL CUNNINGHAM FOR THE MOST RUSHING YDS. BY A QB IN NFL HISTORY.  THEN HE GETS TO GO INTO DESEAN JACKSON, A 31 YD. SCORE.  SO THE EAGLES ONLY DOWN BY 10 NOW.  31-21 IN THE 4TH QUARTER.  VICK, WITH A 2ND & GOAL.  ON THEIR NEXT POSSESSION WILL TAKE IT HIMSELF UP THE MIDDLE.  A 6 YD. SCORE BUT WAIT!  THERE’S A FLAG ON THE PLAY.  ILLEGAL HANDS TO THE FACE.  DANNY WATKINS ALL OVER MARCEL DARIUS.  YOU COULD SEE IT ON YOUR RIGHT AND, YEP, THAT’S GONNA GET YOU FLAGGED EVERY TIME.  TD. WAS NULLIFIED.  THEY WOULD END UP KICKING A F.G. BUT STILL IN STRIKING RANGE UNTIL VICK GETS PICKED OFF AGAIN!  HIS 1ST CAREER 4TH INTERCEPTION GAME.  THAT TIME BY NICK BARNETT.  BARNETT’S 2ND PICK OF THE GAME.  BALL WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE.  NICE JOB FIGHTING FOR IT.  BARNETT HAULS IT IN FOR THE INTERCEPTION.  ON THE ENSUING BILLS POSSESSION.  THIS TIME A 4TH & 1, AND RYAN FITZPATRICK IS ABLE TO GET JAQUAI PARKER TO JUMP OFFSIDES, AND THAT WOULD BE IT.  BILLS RUN OUT THE CLOCK.  WIN IT 31-24.  THEY’RE NOW 4-1.  PHILA., FALLS TO 1-4.

 

01:29:00 – ARIZONA CARDINALS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS
 CARDINALS HAVE LOST 3 IN A ROW.  LOOKING FOR THEIR 1ST ROAD WIN IN MINN. SINCE 1977.  DONOVAN MCNABB HAS LOST 9 OF HIS LAST 10 STARTS.  VIKINGS LOOKING FOR THEIR FIRST WIN.  THEY WOULD GIVE IT TO ADRIAN PETERSON.  LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL CUT UP THE MIDDLE TO GET INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE TD.  THAT WAS THE 5TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE, AND PETERSON GETS IN.  PUTS THE VIKINGS UP 7-NOTHING.  ENSUING CARDINALS POSSESSION.  THEIR FIRST PLAY OF THE DRIVE.  KEVIN KOLB’S PASS IS PICKED AT THE LINE AND DIVING FOR THE INTERCEPTION IS ASHER ALLEN.  HOW DID HE GET HIS HANDS UNDERNEATH THAT ONE?  THE 4TH PICK FOR KEVIN KOLB ON THE ROAD THIS SEASON.  SO MINN., 1ST & 10.  RIGHT AFTER THAT, ADRIAN PETERSON WITH THE JUKES, AND HE GETS OUTSIDE.  TURNS IT UP-FIELD INTO THE END ZONE!  HIS 2ND TD. IN THE 1ST QUARTER ALREADY.  VIKINGS GO UP 14-NOTHING.  DARNELL DOCKETT AND HIS TEAMMATES ARE LIKE, “WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?”  7 MINS. INTO THE GAME, THEY’RE DOWN BY 2 SCORES.  KOLB GETS THE BALL BACK ON A 2ND & 1, AND HE HAS THE BALL STRIPPED FROM BEHIND.  RECOVERED BY JARED ALLEN.  HIS 2ND TURNOVER IN A SPAN OF 3 PLAYS FOR KEVIN KOLB AS BRIAN ROBISON KNOCKED IT OUT.  JARED ALLEN RECOVERED, AND THE VIKINGS GET THE BALL BACK.  A 3RD & GOAL.  DONOVAN MCNABB.  HE’LL PULL IT DOWN.  TAKE IT HIMSELF.  HAS PLENTY OF SPACE IN FRONT OF HIM.  HIS FIRST RUSHING TD. OF THE SEASON.  ALREADY 21-NOTHING.  BUT YOU KNOW IT’S NOT OVER YET BECAUSE MINN.’S HAD TROUBLE HANGING ONTO LEADS.  HOW ABOUT THIS TIME?  DONOVAN MCNABB SCRAMBLING ALL OVER THE FIELD, WILL THROW BACK BEHIND HIM TO DEVIN __ FOR 21.  MCNABB JUST BUYING ALL KINDS OF TIME ON THE PLAY, WILL REVERSE FIELD AFTER HAVING HIS SHOULDER PAD BROUGHT DOWN.  BUT HE THROWS IT IN TIME FOR THE BALL.  __, HE MAKES THE CATCH.  SO 2 PLAYS LATER GIVE IT TO PETERSON AGAIN.  ALL POWER!  GET OUT OF MY WAY!  PUSHING PEOPLE AROUND INTO THE END ZONE.  HIS 3RD TD. OF THE GAME.  THAT MATCHED HIS SEASON TOTAL ENTERING THE GAME.  BIG BIG GAME FOR ADRIAN PETERSON.  1ST PLAYER WITH 3 RUSHING TDS. IN THE FIRST QUARTER SINCE 1999.  FINISHED THE GAME WITH 122 YDS.  HIS HIGH FOR THE SEASON.  KOLB, JUST MORE TROUBLE FOR HIM.  AS JARED ALLEN LOSES A HELMET BUT KOLB IS BROUGHT DOWN FOR THE SACK.  A LOSS OF 18 YDS. ON THE PLAY.  ALLEN’S 7TH CONSECUTIVE GAME WITH A SACK.  JUST ALL THINGS GOING BAD.  28-3.  THEY’RE DOWN BUT LARRY FITZGERALD WILL MAKE IT A LITTLE BETTER FOR CARDINALS FANS.  THINGS ARE STILL SOMEWHAT REASONABLE.  COULD THEY COME BACK WITH MINN. HAVING DROPPED ALL THESE GAMES IN THE 2ND HALF?  NOW A 1ST & 20 AFTER THEY WOULD END UP WITH A T.D.  ARIZONA.  MINN. COMES RIGHT BACK.  MCNABB RIGHT OVER THE MIDDLE TO ___.  HE WILL RUN FOR 60 YDS.  SO EVEN THOUGH BEANNIE WELLS HAD A TD. TO CUT THE DEFICIT TO 18, MINN. KEEPS THE OFF. MACHINE ROLLING.  THEY WOULD ADD A F.G. AND WIN IT, 31-10.  THEIR FIRST VICTORY OF THE SEASON.

IN THE GAME.  THAT WAS IN COLLEGE.  PLAY WAS REVIEWED.  CALL STANDS.  THAT’S AN 11 YD. CATCH.  STEVE BREASTON.  4 PLAYS LATER.  CASSEL TO BREASTON AGAIN.  I’M A BREASTON FAN.  I AM ALSO.  HE’S A GUY THAT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A VERY NICE SIGNING IN THE OFFSEASON.  NO, HE’S A GUY THAT THE ST. LOUIS RAMS OR THE CHICAGO BEARS SHOULD’VE SIGNED.  16 YD. SCORE.  IT’S 24-14 COLTS AT HALFTIME.  3RD QUARTER.  THOMAS JONES FOR 21 YDS.  OLD MAN STILL GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING LEFT IN THE TANK.  HE’S NOT GONNA LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU CALLED HIM OLD MAN.  THIS IS A LONG DRIVE.  HE PLAYS LATER.  12TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE.  CASSEL TO BOWE.  IS THAT A PERFECTLY THROWN BALL AS WELL?  PERHAPS.  NO.  THAT WAS VERY FORTUNATE.  I’M TRYING TO BE POSITIVE.  THAT’S A BIG STRONG RECEIVER MAKING A PLAY.  TRYING TO DRAW ME INTO NEGATIVITY.  LOOK AT THAT.  PERFECTLY FRONT SHOULDERED…WHOA!  FRONT SHOULDER OF THE DEFENDER FADE.  THAT’S STILL A FRONT SHOULDER FADE.  THAT’S RIGHT.  AS OPPOSED TO THE BACK ANGLE FADE WHICH I SAW EARLIER.  YEA.  THAT WAS LAST WEEK.  DEF. PASS INTERFERENCE CALLED.  NICE CATCH DWAYNE GAULT.  4TH QUARTER CHIEFS 2 POSSESSIONS LATER.  CASSEL TO KERRY COLBERT TO THE 19.  KERRY COLBERT.  HOW ABOUT THAT?  TALK ABOUT THE ROAD KILL BOWL.  3 PLAYS LATER, 10TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE.  3RD DOWN & 2.  SO MUCH FOR POSITIVE..AND THERE’S YOUR GUY STEVE BREASTON AGAIN.  THERE HE IS AGAIN.  PLAYMAKER.  ARE CHIEFS LEADING FOR THE FIRST TIME 28-24.  THIS TEAM GETS ANOTHER CHANCE.  SEE WHAT CURTIS PAINTER CAN DO WITH ALL 3 TIMEOUTS LEFT.  GOING FOR IT ON 4TH & 6.  NO.  GOTTA THROW IT TO SOMEBODY WHO’S BEYOND THE 1ST DOWN MARKER.  THAT’S ALWAYS A GOOD PLACE TO STAND.  YEA.  AND NOT GETTING TACKLES.  KERRY COLLINS AND CURTIS PAINTER TAKING IT IN ON THE SIDELINE.  THE CHIEFS.  I THINK IT MAY BE TIME FOR THE HAIRCUT TO KIND OF CHANGE THEIR LUCK.  LIKE TOM BRADY DID.  YEA.  IF IT’S GOOD FOR TOM BRADY, WHY ISN’T IT GOOD FOR CURTIS PAINTER?

 

01:35:52 – SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ NEW YORK GIANTS
 GIANTS HAVE WON 3 IN A ROW SINCE DROPPING THEIR SEASON OPENER AGAINST THE REDSKINS.  SEATTLE HASN’T WON ON THE EAST COAST IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE SINCE 2007 BUT THEY GET OFF TO A NICE START AT THE MEADOWLANDS WITH A TD. PASS FROM TAVARIS JACKSON TO BEN __.  YEA, MAYBE HE SHOULD GET FLAGGED FOR THAT HORRIBLE END ZONE DANCE BUT THEY SCORED THE TD.  THEY GO UP 7-NOTHING.  GIANTS COME RIGHT BACK ON THE ENSUING POSSESSION.  JAKE BALLARD WITH A 12 YD. TD. CATCH FROM ELI MANNING.  TIES IT UP AT 7.  3 SEAHAWKS POSSESSIONS LATER.  MARSHAWN LYNCH FINDS THE SIDELINE.  DOESN’T HAVE BREAKAWAY SPEED BUT  HE’S FIGHTING HIS WAY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 1 YD. LINE.  A GAIN OF 47.  HE WOULD FINISH THAT DRIVE OFF HIMSELF WITH A TD. AND THE SEAHAWKS GO UP 14-7 ENERGIZED.  PETE CARROLL ON THE ROAD.  SEATTLE LOOKING TO GET IT DONE.  UP 14-7, RIGHT BEFORE HALFTIME WITH A MINUTE LEFT IN THE HALF,  AND THIS TIME TAVARIS INTERCEPTED BY AARON ROSS LOOKING FOR ___.  ONCE AGAIN, HE READ HIS ODDS.  WAS ABLE TO PICK IT OFF.  3RD TURNOVER FOR THE SEAHAWKS.  SETS UP A 1ST & 10 AT THE GIANTS 41.  AND ON THEIR NEXT POSSESSION, INTO THE END ZONE.  THAT’S AKEEM NICKS WITH A DIVING CATCH.  WHAT A GREAT LAYOUT BY AKEEM NICKS IN THE END ZONE.  HE IS ABLE TO MAKE THE GRAB AND THE GIANTS GET A TD. RIGHT BEFORE HALFTIME.  SO THEY TIE THINGS UP AT 14.  AKEEM NICKS FINISHED 4 CATCHES FOR 65 YDS. AND THAT TD.  2ND POSSESSION, SAME SCORE TIED UP AT 14.  TAVARIS JACKSON RUNS DOWN THE LEFT SIDE BUT HE WOULD COME UP SLOW.  IT LOOKS LIKE HE GOT HURT ON THE PLAY.  JUST GOT CRUNCHED BY 2 DIFFERENT GIANTS PLAYERS.  CAN’T REALLY SEE HOW HE GOT INJURED BUT HE HURT HIS SHOULDER ON THE PLAY.  SO INTO THE GAME COMES CHARLIE WHITEHURST.  4TH QUARTER, GIANTS DOWN 19-14, AND ELI MANNING WILL HEAVE ONE DOWN THE FIELD.  BALL IS PICKED UP IN THE AIR.  ONE-HANDED GRAB.  THAT IS VICTOR CRUZ.  THE PLAYMAKER GOES INTO THE END ZONE.  DOES A LITTLE LAMBADA.  HOW DID HE MAKE THAT GRAB?  BALL IS UP IN THE AIR.  HE STICKS WITH IT.  STICKS HIS RIGHT ARM OUT THERE AND HANGS ON.  VICTOR CRUZ, 161 YDS. AND A TD.  GIANTS UP 22-19.  TRYING TO EXTEND THEIR LEAD ON THEIR NEXT POSSESSION, A 3RD & 7.  HE HITS CRUZ AGAIN BUT CRUZ IS STRIPPED OF THE FOOTBALL.  __ __ WITH THE RECOVERY.  SO HE WAS STRIPPED BEFORE HE HIT THE GROUND, AND STEVEN HASKILL WOULD HIT A F.G. FOR SEATTLE TO TIE THE GAME AT 22.  LOTS OF TURNOVERS IN THIS ONE.  SEATTLE BENEFITTING ON THAT ONE.  COULD CHARLIE WHITEHURST BRING THEM BACK.  HE MAKES THE COMPLETION TO DOUG BALDWIN, THEN FINDS A WIDE OPEN BALDWIN IN THE END ZONE FOR A 27 YD. SCORE.  SEAHAWKS UP 29-25 ON THE ROAD.  ELI MANNING, 2 MIN. DRILL.  COULD HE EXECUTE?  ROLLING DOWN THE RIGHT SIDELINE.  OFF THE FINGERTIPS.  VICTOR CRUZ.  YOU CAN NEVER COUNT HIM OUT ON ANY GIVEN THROW.  HE MAKES THE GRAB.  41 YDS. LATER THEY ARE SET UP.  3 PLAYS LATER.  THEIR 6TH PLAY, CRUZ AGAIN.  THE BALL OFF HIS FINGERTIPS.  THIS TIME IT IS PICKED OFF BY BRANDON BRODERICK.  HE IS THERE.  HE WILL OUTRUN EVERYBODY INTO THE END ZONE.  THAT IS THE BACKBREAKER.  THE GIANTS HAD IT INSIDE THE 20, OFF THE FINGERTIPS OF VICTOR CRUZ.  A GREAT PLAY BY SEATTLE’S DEFENSE, AND THEY WILL GO UP BY 2 SCORES.  ELI MANNING WITH 4 TURNOVERS IN THE GAME, AND SEATTLE PULLS OFF THE ROAD WIN.

01:46:42 - GREEN BAY PACKERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
 SAY HELLO TO MICHAEL IRVIN, DEION SANDERS AND STEVE MARIUCCI.  I’M FRAN CHARLES.  LET’S TAKE YOU TO THE GEORGIA DOME.  AARON RODGERS RED HOT TO START THE 2011 SEASON.  BUT IT WAS THE FALCONS WHO CAME OUT ON FIRE.  YEA, I LIKE THEIR FIRST 15.  A GOOD MIX OF RUN AND PASS AND, OF COURSE, IT ENDS UP TO RODDY WHITE IN THE END ZONE.  NICE TD. DRIVE.  FALCONS GOING 85 YDS. ON 13 PLAYS, AND THEN THE ENSUING POSSESSION HERE; AND RYAN GRANT BACK TO THAT BRUISED KIDNEY.  HE FUMBLES AFTER HE’S HIT BY BRENT GRIMES, AND VANCE WALKER RECOVERS.  AND LED TO A 1 YD. MICHAEL TURNER TD.  FALCONS ON TOP 14-NOTHING.  2ND QUARTER, UH OH.  MORE PACKER WOES ON THE OFFENSIVE LINE AS CHAD CLIFTON NICKED UP.  WE TALKED ABOUT IT WHEN I TALKED WITH AARON RODGERS THIS WEEK.  HE SAID, “I WANT TO SEE HOW THIS TEAM RESPONDS WITH ADVERSITY.”  THIS IS ADVERSITY.  SO MARSHALL NEWHOUSE MOVES TO LEFT TACKLE.  DERRICK SHERROD GOING TO RIGHT TACKLE.  RODGERS CHASED DOWN BY SHAWN WEATHERSPOON.  MOST QBS IN THE NFL, THAT’S A CAUSED FUMBLE.  AARON RODGERS, HE’S SO MUCH OF AN ATHLETE, HE WAS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THAT BALL.  AND NOW ON A 3RD & 13.  RODGERS CANNOT ESCAPE.  WARREN __ GETS HIM.  PACKERS ARE FORCED TO KICK A F.G.  DOWN 14-3.  BUT YOU CAN SEE THE EFFECTS OF THAT TO OFF. LINE BEING BANGED UP THERE.  14-3.  NEXT POSSESSION HERE.  18 SECS. LEFT AND RODGERS TO JERMICHAEL FINLEY.  YOU DON’T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN NOW.  HE HAD 3 TD. PASSES NOT TOO LONG AGO AND HE CATCHES THE BALL WELL.  UNUSUAL DROP.  WAIT.  LED TO A JASON CROSBIE F.G.  14-6.  BOOM.  BUT HERE COMES THE PACK TO JAMES JONES 70 YDS.  YOU KNOW IT’S GONNA HAPPEN.  THEY HAVE A PLETHORA OF RECEIVERS, ALL BIG PLAY RECEIVERS.  COULD BE #1 RECEIVERS FOR ANYBODY.  GREAT PLAY ACTION PASS.  PATIENCE BY AARON RODGERS.  GREAT ROUTE-RUNNING.  GREAT PATIENCE ON THAT ROUTE.  IT’S HARD TO STOP THESE GUYS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF A GAME.  AARON RODGERS WAS HITTING EVERYBODY.  12 DIFFERENT TARGETS CAUGHT FOOTBALLS TONIGHT.  JERMICHAEL FINLEY!  LET’S DO IT ON THE RECEPTION.  THE G.B. PACKERS SAID, “THIS MUST BE THE NEW…!”  THE TEAM SAID, “FROM NOW ON ……..”  HOW ABOUT THAT THROW TO _ COBB, A ROOKIE.  ALRIGHT.  MORE FROM G.B. NOW.  IT’S RODGERS ON THE PLAY ACTION TO GREG JENNINGS.  AND WATCH JENNINGS GET IN THE END ZONE.  LOOK AT THIS LEAD.  HE SAYS HE’S ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE.  EVEN IF HE IS ..EVEN IF 100 HERE AND EVERYONE ELSE DOESN’T SAY SO.. GIVE THIS MAN HIS LOVE.  22 UNANSWERED PACKER POINTS.  THEY’RE ON TOP 22-14, AND YOU CAN START TO FEEL THE TIDE TURN HERE.  HERE COME THE FALCONS.  IT’S RYAN LOOKING FOR JULIO JONES.  A LOT OF THAT GOING AROUND.  A LOT OF GUYS DIDN’T PREPARE LIKE THEY SHOULD’VE PREPARED IN THE OFF-SEASON, AND IT’S HARD TO TEST THOSE HAMSTRINGS WITHOUT REALLY PLAYING THE GAME.  3RD & 7 NOW.  MATT RYAN …BUT DID HE SQUEEZE IT?  THEY RULED IT A CATCH FOR A 21 YD. GAIN.  MIKE MCCARTHY CHALLENGES AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  THE GROUND CANNOT CAUSE A FUMBLE BUT IT CAN CAUSE AN INCOMPLETE PASS.  HE’S GOTTA END THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.  IT COMES OUT AFTER ..  LOOK AT THE FIGHT BY THE DEF. BACK ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND.  HE’S FIGHTING TO GET THAT BALL OUT.  THAT’S WHAT MAKES A WINNER.  STEVE MARIUCCI ALL OVER THE RULEBOOK THERE.  ALRIGHT.  SO THE PACKERS COME RIGHT BACK.  RODGERS TO FINLEY.  FINLEY CAN’T COME DOWN WITH IT.  HE’S HIT BY JAMES SANDERS, AND HE LOSES POSSESSION.  THAT’S GONNA BE CLOSE.  YOU GOTTA HOLD ON TO IT.  LET’S STOP MESSING AROUND.  OH!  PASS IS TIPPED.  CHARLIE …  THERE FOR THE PICK.  MASON CROSBIE ADDED ANOTHER F.G.  SO THE PACKERS GO ON TO WIN IT 25-14.  AND G.B. IMPROVES TO 5-0 AS THE MOST COMPLETE TEAM IN THE NFL.  AARON RODGERS 4 YDS. SHY OF 400 YDS.  IT WOULD’VE BEEN BACK-TO-BACK 400 YD. PERFORMANCES FOR RODGERS.  2 MORE TD. PASSES.  DID NOT THROW AN INTERCEPTION.  THE FALCONS MEANWHILE FALLING TO 2-3.
