01:10:16 – NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS

THE PATRIOTS HAVE WON 4 IN A ROW. THEY’VE SCORED OVER 30 PTS. IN EACH OF THOSE GAMES. IN THE END ZONES AT FED-EX FIELD, PAINTED FOR ARMY AND NAVY. ROB GRONKOWSKI TRYING TO SET A RECORD. HE HAS 13 RECEIVING TDS. ON THE SEASON, TYING HIM FOR THE FIRST EVER BY A T.E. EARLY ON IN THE GAME, REDSKINS 2^ND POSSESSION. REX GROSSMAN IS HIT. BALL IS LOOSE…AND THE PATRIOTS RECOVER IT IN THE END ZONE. VINCE WILFORD, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PILE, COMES UP WITH THE BIG PLAY. A TURNOVER EARLY ON FOR THE SKINS. AND THEN IT’S TIME FOR ROB GRONKOWSKI TO GET TO WORK. HIS TEAM UP 7-3. BRADY FINDS HIM. HE DIVES. MAKES THE CATCH. GETS UP. HE’S GOT 2 PEOPLE ON HIM; BUT HE’S DRAGGING THEM! HE SOMEHOW BREAKS OUT OF IT. ROB GRONKOWSKI STILL ON HIS FEET AND TAKES IT NEARLY TO THE 10 YD. LINE! ROB GRONKOWSKI SIGNALING FOR THE 1^ST DOWN, AND MIKE SHANAHAN WOULD CHALLENGE THE CALL. HE THOUGHT THAT FIRST GRONKOWSKI WAS DOWN AND THAT HE STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS BUT NO. GRONKOWSKI NEVER GOT TOUCHED AFTER MAKING THE CATCH WHILE HE WAS ON THE GROUND AND STAYED INBOUNDS. A GAIN OF 49. PLAY WOULD STAND, 1^ST & 10 AT THE 11. VERY NEXT PLAY. BRADY IN THE SHOTGUN. HE’S GONNA GO RIGHT BACK TO HIS MAN, ROB GRONKOWSKI. THERE IT IS. RECEIVING TD. #14 ON THE SEASON WHICH IS A RECORD. SO AFTER HIS SPIKE, OF COURSE, HE WANTS THE RECORD SETTING BALL. HE’S GOT 15 TOTAL TDS. ON THE SEASON. 15 RECEIVING. BUT THE REDSKINS WOULD COME BACK. REX GROSSMAN ON THE PLAY FAKE FINDS JABBAR GAFFNEY, THE EX-PATRIOT, BURNING HIS FORMER TEAM; ANSWERING WITH A TD. 14-10, PATRIOTS ON TOP. AND THEN SOME TRICKERY. ON THE REVERSE IT’S BRANDON BATES AND HE’S GONNA THROW IT DOWNFIELD! WIDE OPEN IS SANTANA MOSS. PASS IS UNDERTHROWN BUT MOSS ESCAPES 2 MEN, GETS INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE 49 YD. TD. AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE SKINS AT HOME WHERE THEY HAVE LOST 4 IN A ROW ARE NOW IN THE LEAD, 17-14. TEAMS TRADE FIELD GOALS RIGHT BEFORE THE HALF. IT’S A MINUTE LEFT AND TOM BRADY IS NAILED AS HE WAS TRYING TO SLIDE. THERE IS THE FLAG ON LONDON FLETCHER BECAUSE HE HIT HIM. UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS. BRADY WAS GOING DOWN. KEEPING HIMSELF UP, AND FLETCHER CAME IN WITH THE FOREARM. IT WILL LEAD TO A F.G. TYING THE GAME AT 20 AT HALFTIME. LONDON FLETCHER DID NOT LIKE THAT CALL AT ALL. ONTO THE 3^RD. PATRIOTS 1^ST DRIVE OF THE QUARTER. IT’S A 3^RD & 12. THEY GO OVER THE MIDDLE TO GRONK, AND HE SLIPS ANOTHER MAN! YOU CANNOT BRING HIM DOWN! CLEAR PATH TO THE END ZONE. THAT IS ROB GRONKOWSKI’S 15^TH TD. OF THE SEASON. RECEIVING 16 OVERALL. FINISHED WITH 160 YDS. AND 2 TDS. GAME TIED AT 27 AFTER A TD. TO REX GROSSMAN TO DAVID ANDERSON. THE PATRIOTS ANSWER. THAT IS THE GO-AHEAD SCORE TO WES WELKER. A 24 YD. TD. PATRIOTS RETAKE THE LEAD 24-27. WELKER’S 9^TH OF THE SEASON. THEN TOM BRADY, 3^RD & GOAL. LOOKING BACK OF THE END ZONE. HE IS PICKED OFF WITH 6-1/2 MINS. TO GO! THAT COULD BE A GAME-CHANGER. WASH. STILL IN THE GAME. THEY ONLY NEED A TD. AND AN EXTRA POINT TO TIE IT. BIG PLAY BY JOSH WILSON IN THE END ZONE. TOM BRADY GOING OVER THINGS WITH HIS QB COACH, BILL O’BRIEN, AND THEY ARE YELLING AT EACH OTHER, HEATED ON THE SIDELINE. REALLY GOING AFTER EACH OTHER ON THE SIDELINES AFTER THAT INTERCEPTION. A RARE ONE FOR TOM BRADY. HE’D GONE 201 ATTEMPTS WITHOUT AN INTERCEPTION. REDSKINS MARCHING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FIELD AND REX GROSSMAN HITS SANTANA MOSS BUT THERE IS A FLAG ON THE PLAY. LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD’VE BEEN THE GAME-TYING SCORE BUT HANG ON A SECOND. OFF. PASS INTERFERENCE. THE TD. IS NULLIFIED. SO, A 3^RD & GOAL. REX GROSSMAN BACK TO PASS. TRIED TO DUMP IT OVER THE MIDDLE FOR MOSS BUT THE BALL GOES OUT OF HIS HANDS AND INTO THE HANDS OF JERROD MAYO. MAYO WITH THE DIVING PLAY, AND THE PATRIOTS HANG ON FOR VICTORY. THE DEFENSE COMES UP BIG AT THE END.

01:14:32 – NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ TENNESSEE TITANS

SAINTS AND TITANS. DREW BREES 4031 PASSING YDS. THIS SEASON. BEST IN THE NFL, AND SEAN PAYTON OFF THE CRUTCHES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE WK. 6; AND THE SAINTS OUTSIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AWHILE. 2^ND QUARTER, HASSELBECK’S PASS TIPPED AND INCOMPLETE, AND HASSELBECK SHAKEN UP ON THE PLAY. PULLS UP LIMP ON HIS LEFT LEG. CALF INJURIES. WOW. I HATE TO LAUGH BUT I NEVER SEEN A GUY WITH MORE SELF-INFLICTED INJURIES ON A PLAY THAN MATT HASSELBECK. HOW ABOUT THIS? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.. LOOK AT THAT CATCH. GREAT CATCH. I BELIEVE THEY RULED IT INCOMPLETE AND I BELIEVE IT STOOD. SAINTS HAVEN’T BEEN OUTSIDE TO PLAY A GAME IN 8 WKS. THIS IS THE 8^TH WK. THAT’S A TD. ALL DAY. BUT PLAY STANDS AS AN INCOMPLETE PASS. CALLED IT INCOMPLETE ON THE FIELD. THEY REVIEWED IT. SAINTS CHALLENGED IT AND DID NOT GET THE RESULT THEY WANTED. YEA. F.G. MADE IT N.O. 9-3. SO JAKE LATKER COMING ON IN. AND LOOKING GOOD TOO. HITS DAMIEN WILLIAMS. A LITTLE SPIN AND A SPRINT FOR 54 YDS. THAT ALWAYS HELPS THAT YDS. PER ATTEMPT. I HAVE TO TELL YOU AS WELL, JAKE LATKER HAS DONE SOME REALLY GOOD THINGS. I’VE LIKED WHAT I’M SEEING FROM HIM THIS YEAR. AND THAT’S A FACEMASK. THAT’S CHEATING. FACEMASK ON ROMAN HARPER. YEA, THAT’S CHEATING. THE BOOK ON JAKE LATKER WAS, HE WAS A VERY GOOD RUNNER COMING OUT OF COLLEGE AND TRIES TO RUN IT IN THERE. TOUGH KID TOO. TOUGH KID. GREAT PLAY BY LATKER. EXTENDS THE BALL INSIDE THE PYLON. HE DID GET IN. THE TITANS TAKE A 10-9 LEAD. LOOK AT THAT PLAY. LOOK AT THAT PLAY. JAKE WOULD ALSO THROW THE BALL VERY WELL. THAT’S A TRIPLE AXLE ISN’T IT? ..THE LANDING. INTO THE 4^TH QUARTER. 3^RD DOWN & 6. DREW BREES WAITING WAITING AND FINDING A WIDE OPEN MARCUS COLSTON. WOW. ..IF YOU GET THAT MUCH TIME. THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY HAS IMPROVED FROM THE SAINTS RECENTLY IS THEIR ABILITY TO PROTECT THEIR QB. I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THEY’RE RUNNING THE BALL BETTER. DREW BREES JUST STEP UP THERE, MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY. COLSTON AGAIN, 28 YD. TD. FOR HIM IT WAS EASY. YOU’RE RIGHT. HOW ABOUT JUST THE ACCURACY. 36 OF 47. THERE’S A GOOD BALL RIGHT THERE. GREAT THROW. GREAT THROW. LATKER TO NATE WASHINGTON. 40 YD. TD. TITANS CUT THAT N.O. LEAD TO 22-17. NEXT TITANS POSSESSION. LATKER BACK TO PASS. LIT UP BY TRACY PORTER. IT IS RULED A FUMBLE AND RECOVERED BY THE SAINTS. THE TITANS CHALLENGE THE FUMBLE. LATKER IS DOWN. SO MATT HASSELBECK HUSTLING TO GET READY ONCE AGAIN TO THE SIDELINE. HE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE’S REALLY MOBILE AT THIS POINT. AND RIGHT THERE, TRACY PORTER …GOOD TACKLE. PUT HIS HEAD TO THE SIDE. LATKER WOULD LEAVE FOR A PLAY. HASSELBECK COMING ON BACK IN WITH THE GAME HE ORIGINALLY STARTED. 3 PLAYS LATER, 4^TH & 1. LATKER ON THE QB SNEAK. DOES NOT GET IT. THE SAINTS TAKE OVER. SO YOU’RE SAYING GAME OVER, RIGHT? NOPE. NEXT TITANS POSSESSION. LOOK AT THIS THROW. THAT’S JUST BEAUTIFUL. NATE WASHINGTON 40 YDS. TO THE 5. WE’VE SEEN SOME GREAT THROWS BY SOME ROOKIE QBS THIS YEAR. WELL THE QUESTION THAT WE HAVE, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.. GOTTA GET HIM OFF THE FIELD. GOTTA GET HIM OFF THE FIELD. 2 PLAYS LATER, 7 SECS. REMAINING. LATKER.. GREAT PLAY BY PORTER THERE. 5 SECS. LEFT. BALL’S GONNA COME OUT. YES. BALL’S GONNA COME OUT. GIVE SOMEBODY A CHANCE. YOU GOTTA THROW IT SOMEWHERE. BECAUSE YOU … THE 2^ND LEFT THE BALL COMES OUT. YOU THROW IT TO THE BACK OF THE END ZONE; AND THEN YOU GOT ANOTHER SHOT. YEA. THROW IT AWAY. LOOK AT THAT. ALL THE TITANS WIDE RECEIVERS COVERED OR ON THE GROUND. BUT AGAIN, AND THAT’S FINE. THROW THE BALL OUT THE BACK OF THE END ZONE BECAUSE THERE WAS TIME LEFT. IT WASN’T 4^TH DOWN EITHER SO YOU HAD A CHANCE. RIGHT. IF YOU SYNC THAT CLOCK YOU’LL SEE THERE WAS TIME. SAINTS ARE JUST A DIFFERENT TEAM. GOOD WIN BUT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. THIS TEAM AVERAGES 40 PTS. PER GAME AT HOME. 6-0 AT HOME. THEY NOW MOVE TO 4-3 ON THE ROAD BUT JUST NOT THE SAME EXPLOSIVE GROUP THEY WERE. AND IT BEGS TO QUESTION, WE TALKED ABOUT THE ONLY TEAM THAT MOST FEEL PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE G.B. PACKERS IS THE SAINTS OFFENSIVELY; BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. OUTSIDE, TO YOUR POINT, CAN’T PUT PTS. ON THE BOARD. AND THEY REALLY STRUGGLED TO SCORE. 3 TIMES INSIDE THE END ZONE THEY SETTLED FOR 3 FG’S.

01:19:01 – PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ MIAMI DOLPHINS

EAGLES, DOLPHINS. GREW UP THERE. MATT MOORE HAS BEEN BIG AS THE DOLPHINS PLAYING WELL HERE RECENTLY. MICHAEL VICK MISSED THE LAST 3 GAMES WITH BROKEN RIBS. CHASE … BLOCKED BY JIMMY WILSON. DOLPHINS TAKE OVER AT THE EAGLES 15. WE TALKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY. I JUST REALLY FELT THAT WITH 7 COMING BACK, THE EAGLES WOULD JUST COME OUT AND JUST POUND THE DOLPHINS BUT THIS IS WHAT THE DOLPHINS CAN DO. PLAY ALL 3 AREAS OF THE GAME. ENSUING MIAMI POSSESSION. 3^RD DOWN AND 11. MATT MOORE LOOKING FOR BRANDON MARSHALL, AND HE HAS BRANDON MARSHALL. HE HAS A 16 YD. TOUCH. BEAUTIFUL THROW AND CATCH RIGHT THERE. BEAUTIFUL. BRANDON WITH A LITTLE TOE TAP; 1,2. OVER NMANDI ASAMWA. DOLPHINS LEADING EARLY, 7-0. THAT WOULD KIND OF WAKE THE EAGLES UP. THAT WAS IT. NOT QUITE YET THOUGH. MICHAEL VICK SACKED BY JASON TAYLOR. JASON TAYLOR 2^ND SACK. MOVES THEM INTO 6^TH ALL TIME WITH 138-1/2. THEY SACKED MICHAEL VICK 4 TIMES IN THE 1^ST HALF. I MEAN THEY JUST KILLED HIM ALL GAME LONG. REGGIE BUSH PROBABLY SHOULD’VE HAD THAT ONE. YEA. REGGIE’S HAD A HECK OF A YEAR. REGGIE WITH 103 RUSHING YDS. TODAY. THAT’S HIS 3^RD 100 YD. AFTERNOON. ARE YOU SURE? THAT IS CORRECT. JAKE LONG INJURED HIS LOWER BACK ON THE PLAY. DID NOT RETURN. MICHAEL VICK PLAY ACTION. PUMPS TO THROW. BACK TO LESEAN MCCOY. GOT HIM. 26 YD. GAIN BACK DOWN TO THE MIAMI 28. SHADY MCCOY. GIVE THE DOLPHINS CREDIT. THEY HELD HIM IN-CHECK. 24 CARRIES, 41 YDS. RUSHING ON THE DAY. I GOTTA CHANGE HERE. I GOT 27 FOR 38. BUT IF YOU SAY 41 FOR SOMETHING I’LL BUY WHAT YOU’RE SELLING. DID FIND THE END ZONE THERE. DID LESEAN MCCOY. 2 YD. TOUCH. GAME TIED AT 7. THE DOLPHINS DID A GREAT JOB CONTAINING SHADY. MATT MOORE’S AVOIDED INTERCEPTIONS RECENTLY BUT DOES NOT DO SO THERE. KURT COLEMAN. YOU JUST JINXED HIM. TAKES IT DOWN TO THE 1. YOU JUST JINXED IT. I KNEW IT WAS COMING. IT’S LIKE LOOKING IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK FOR THE ANSWER. HE HAS PLAYED BETTER THAN AVERAGE THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. NEXT MIAMI POSSESSION, MOORE TO THE DEVON BESS. AND DEVON BESS SAYS HERE, “TAKE THE BALL. TAKE IT. I DON’T WANT IT.” ASANTE SAMUEL RECOVERS AT THE 34. YOU KNOW WHAT, IT WAS LIKE THEY CHANGED UNIFORMED BECAUSE THESE WERE THE MISTAKES THAT THE EAGLES WERE MAKING FOR THE 1^ST 12 WEEKS OF THE SEASON. WELL THE EAGLES STILL DID THEIR SHARE IN THIS GAME SO THEY WEREN’T NECESSARILY ABSOLVED FROM IT. THEY MADE SOME REALLY UNDISCIPLINED MISTAKES LATER ON IN THIS GAME. BUT THE DEFENSE…THE FRONT 7 OF THE EAGLES AS FAR AS … ALWAYS DONE WELL. 9 SACKS TODAY. DESEAN JACKSON IN THE END ZONE FELLAS. IT’S BEEN AWHILE HASN’T IT? YEA. 44 YD. TD. LOOK AT THAT. THE EAGLES FRONT 7 WITH 9 SACKS. DESEAN JACKSON A TD. CATCH. MIKE VICK BACK IN THE GAME UNDER CENTER. UNDER DURESS TOO. YEA, I’M SURE THERE WA A LOT OF STUFF THEY WERE WORKING ON. YEA, YOU CAN TAKE THAT KEVLAR AND KEVLAR HIS WHOLE BODY BECAUSE THEY GOT AFTER HIM TODAY. HE DID PLAY THE ENTIRE 2^ND HALF. MATT MOORE UNDER SERIOUS PRESSURE INTENDED FOR BRANDON MARSHALL INCOMPLETE. HE WAS INJURED ON THE PLAY AND DID NOT RETURN. BRING ME J.P. LOSSMAN BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO HURT. THAT WILL ALSO LEAVE A MARK. MATT MOORE ON THE DAY, 11 OUT OF 19. ONLY 95 YDS. A TD. AND A PICK. INTO THE 4^TH QUARTER, 1^ST DOWN & 10. THERE’S YOUR J.P. LOSSMAN. SACKED IN THE END ZONE BY PHILIP HUNT FOR A SAFETY. EAGLES HAD 9 SACKS TODAY. YEA. JUST A CRAZY DAY. I MEAN IT’S UNBELIEVABLE EFFORT. YOU TAKE DAYTON LONG OUT IN THE GAME. SO, WOW. IT’S A TEAM THAT DOES A LOT OF GOOD THINGS WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL FOR THEM. WE CALL THOSE TEAMS FRONTRUNNERS. NOT NECESSARILY A NEGATIVE BUT WHEN THINGS ARE GOING YOUR WAY, BOY, THEY CAN PUT IT ON YOU.

01:22:51 – ATLANTA FALCONS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS

CAROLINA PANTHERS AND THE ATLANTA FALCONS. CAM NEWTON SET THE RECORD FOR MOST RUSHING TDS. IN A SEASON BY A QB LAST WEEK, 13. MATT RYAN AND HIS FALCONS, 7-5. FIRST QUARTER, RYAN TO RODDY WHITE. DID HE GET BOTH FEET DOWN? YES SIR. DON’T QUESTION RODDY WHITE’S ABILITY TO TAP THOSE TOES PAUL. CATCH THE BALL WITH HIS HANDS. NICE SOLID CATCH. I’M JUST SETTING YOU UP THERE TOM. NEXT CAROLINA POSSESSION, LOOK AT THIS. THE FAKE QB DRAW IN THE AIR. THE TOUCH PASS TO JEREMY SHOCKEY. LET’S GIVE SHOCKEY A LITTLE TOE-TAPPING CREDIT HERE AS WELL. NICE JOB CATCHING THE BALL WITH HIS HANDS AND GETTING THE FEET IN. DEFENSE GETTING IN ON THE SCORING ACT FOR THE PANTHERS. THIS IS ANTOWANE APPLEWHITE DROPPING MATT RYAN IN THE END ZONE. 9-7 PANTHERS. AT FIRST I WAS LIKE, “MATT, LET IT GO. LET IT GO.” BUT I THINK IF HE HAD LET IT GO HE MAY HAVE BEEN IN DANGER OF THROWING A PICK 6. THEY’RE GONNA JUST LET DEANGELO WILLIAMS GO HERE, TOM. JACKSON #3 RUN DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE TOO, THE ATLANTA FALCONS. 74 YD. SPRING. DEANGELO WILLIAMS. CAROLINA ON TOP NOW, 16-7. NEXT CAROLINA POSSESSION 3^RD & 14. NEWTON TO GREG OLSEN. NOT JUST A 1^ST DOWN. GOTTA MAKE A TACKLE. GOTTA MAKE A TACKLE. CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN. GETS A FEW NICE BLOCKS ON HIS WIDE RECEIVERS DOWNFIELD. BUT AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME YOU’RE THINKING, “O.K., YOU’RE THE FALCONS. YOU LOST AT HOUSTON. YOU’RE STARTING TO FEEL YOUR WILD CARD CHANCE SLIP AWAY FROM YOU. HOW ABOUT THE UNDERHANDED LEFT-HANDED THROW. NOT GOOD. TODAY THE REOCCURRING THEME FOR ALL ROOKIE QBS THAT YOU’LL SEE TODAY, THESE ARE BALLS YOU JUST CAN’T THROW. MIKE PETERSON WITH THE INTERCEPTION SETTING UP MATT RYAN TO FIND HIS OWN ROOKIE JACQUES ROGERS. WATCH THIS THROW. LOOK AT HIM ADJUST TO THIS. CENTER FIELD. WOW. AGAIN, JACQUES ROGERS IS ABOUT 5’3 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. VERY DIFFICULT BALL TO GET BY THAT TIME. 23-17. NEWTON TOO HIGH OVER THE MIDDLE. PICKED OFF BY WILLIAM MOORE. BALL HAD THE SAIL ON IT BECAUSE YOU GOTTA WONDER WHERE THAT BALL WAS GOING. I THINK HE GOT HIT FROM HIS LEFT SIDE JUST AFTER HE THREW THE FOOTBALL. CAM’S GONNA MAKE SOME MISTAKES. YOU ASK HIM TO THROW IT 40 TIMES PER GAME, AND A ROOKIE QB’S GOING TO MAKE SOME MISTAKES. 10^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. MATT RYAN TO JULIO JONES. QUESTION HERE AGAIN. DID HE GET IN? YES HE DID. ANOTHER HAND CATCH, JAMIE, AS YOU POINTED OUT IN THE PAST. THESE FALCONS RECEIVERS DO A GREAT JOB CATCHING THE BALL WITH THEIR HANDS, AND THEY’RE VERY VERY STRONG. FALCONS TAKING THE 24-23 LEAD. 6^TH PLAY OF THIS DRIVE FOR CAROLINA. CAM NEWTON DOING HIS THING. 1^ST DOWN 12 YD. GAIN. BIGGER THAN THE LINEBACKERS. 36 YARDER’S A GIMME, RIGHT? NOT WITH OLINDO MARE TEEING IT OFF. HOLES IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO ALL WEEK IS JUST KICK. RON RIVERA JUST GOTTA BE SICK WATCHING HIS KICKER PUTTING HIM IN PERIL. A LITTLE BIT EARLIER WE SAW DEANGELO WILLIAMS RUNNING FREE ON THIS PART OF THE FIELD. THIS IS JULIO JONES DOING THE SAME THING. ANOTHER GREAT OPPORTUNITY OR ANOTHER EXAMPLE, RATHER, OF CATCHING THE BALL WITH HIS HANDS AND GETTING THE BALL BEFORE THE DEFENDER COULD MAKE A PLAY. 75 YD. SCORE. FALCONS SCORE 24 UNANSWERED PTS. TO GO ON TO WIN 31-23. HUGE WIN TO IMPROVE TO 8-5. THEY NEED TO GET TO 10 VICTORIES TO EARN A WILD CARD SPOT. THEY’VE GOT JACKSONVILLE AND TAMPA BAY AT HOME, AS WELL AS A GAME IN N.O. TO FACE THE SAINTS. THEY HAD TO GET THIS ONE OF THEY WERE GONNA GET TO 10 WINS. AND THE KEY PART HERE. LOOK AT THE PRODUCTION IN THE BALANCE. 21 ATTEMPTS FOR MICHAEL TURNER. THAT’S THE KEY POINT. GETTING IN … DIDN’T GET OVER 100 YDS. MATT RYAN DIDN’T HAVE 40 ATTEMPTS ON THE DAY. 4 TDS. GREAT PERFORMANCE BY RYAN; AND THE CAROLINA PANTHERS, THEY GOTTA FIND A WAY TO FINISH GAMES OUT. I MEAN THE MISTAKES THAT THEY’RE MAKING. IT SEEMED LIKE .. IN THE 2^ND HALF. THE FALCONS HAD THAT SENSE OF URGENCY AND THE PANTHERS DIDN’T. HOW ABOUT THIS HOT .. NOW THE ATLANTA FALCONS ARE 27-2 AND MICHAEL TURNER GETS 21 TOUCHES.

01:26:54 – TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

BUCCANEERS LOOKING TO BREAK A 6 GAME LOSING STREAK. BLANE GABBERT, 8 TDS., 7 INTERCEPTIONS ON THE YEAR. JOSH FREEMAN BACK AFTER MISSING LAST WEEK’S GAME WITH A SHOULDER INJURY, AND THEY’VE GOT A 4^TH & 1 IN THE 1^ST QUARTER AND FREEMAN WILL THROW ON THE ROLLOUT AND HE HITS KELLEN WINSLOW FOR A GAIN OF 28. THAT SETS UP A 1ST & GOAL AT THE 8; AND THEN 2 PLAYS LATER THEY GIVE IT TO LAGARETTE BLUNT. HE’S ABLE TO SQUEEZE HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE TD. FIRST TD. ON THE OPENING DRIVE OF THE SEASON FOR THE BUCCANEERS. 7-0, THEY HAVE THE LEAD IN JACKSONVILLE. AND THEN LANE GABBERT SCRAMBLING TO HIS RIGHT AFTER BEING UNDER PRESSURE. HE THROWS. HE IS PICKED OFF BY RONDE BARBER WHO RETURNS IT, AND BARBER IS TACKLED FROM BEHIND. A GAIN OF…PICKS UP 12 ON THE RETURN. SETS UP A 1^ST & 10 AT THE 48 FOR T.B. 2^ND QUARTER, ENSUING BUCS POSSESSION. 6^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. A 3^RD & 7. JOSH FREEMAN. HE’S UNDER PRESSURE. HE’S GONNA SCRAMBLE. HE’S GONNA BRING IT DOWN. HE’S GOT ROOM IN FRONT OF HIM. GETS INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE RUSHING TD. JOSH FREEMAN AND THE BUCS LOOKING GOOD ON THE ROAD, UP 14-NOTHING. 2 POSSESSIONS LATER FOR THE JAGS AND THEY ARE PUNTING ON A 4^TH & 3. NICK HARRIS PUNTS IT FOR PRESTON PARKER AND PARKER LOSES THE FOOTBALL. IT IS LOOSE ON THE FIELD! JACKSONVILLE PICKS IT UP AND SCORES THE TD. PRESTON PARKER HAVING A BAD GAME FOR THE BUCS. AS THAT RESULTED IN A SCORE FOR JACKSONVILLE. THEIR ENSUING POSSESSION. GABBERT HANGING ONTO THE BALL. GOES DOWNFIELD, WIDE OPEN. MERCEDES LEWIS MAKES THE GRAB. ON HIS FEET. FINALLY BROUGHT DOWN AFTER A GAIN OF 62. SETS UP A 1^ST & GOAL AT THE 2. MAURICE JONES-DREW WOULD GET INTO THE END ZONE FOR A TD. TO TIE THE GAME. AND THEN JOSH FREEMAN, RIGHT BEFORE HALFTIME WITH UNDER 2 MINS. TO GO BEFORE THE HALF, LOSES THE FOOTBALL. HE WAS SACKED BY DARRELL SMITH AND NATE COLLINS RECOVERS FOR THE TD. JAGS UP 21-14. BUT STILL THERE IS TIME FOR MORE DAMAGE. JOSH FREEMAN’S PASS INTENDED FOR MIKE WILLIAMS. INTERCEPTED BY ASHTON UBODI. A BAD PASS BEHIND HIS RECEIVER SETS UP A 1^ST & 10, NEAR MIDFIELD. 9^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. A 3^RD & 4. LANE GABBERT THROWS TO MAURICE JONES-DREW WHO FIGHTS HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE RIGHT BEFORE HALFTIME. THE JAGUARS GET A TD AND MAURICE JONES-DREW BREAKS THE FRANCHISE RECORD.

SETS UP A 1^ST & 10 AT THE 11 AS THE JAGS HAVE COME ALL THE WAY BACK FROM DOWN 14-NOTHING AND THEY PILE ON EVEN MORE. LANE GABBERT THROWS TO MAURICE JONES-DREW. A 5 YD. SCORE. JONES-DREW IN THE BALL GAME. 2 RECEIVING TDS. 2 RUSHING TDS. 4 OVERALL FOR THE JAGS.

01:29:51 – HOUSTON OILERS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS

WHAT TIME IS IT? HIGHLIGHT TIME. TEXANS/BENGALS. IT’S T.J. YATES TIME FOR THE 2^ND WEEK IN A ROW. TEXANS 3^RD POSSESSION. LOOKING FOR DERRICK MASON BUT IT’S PICKED OFF. REGGIE NELSON GETTING IT DONE THERE. THAT’S A BAD PICK. YEA, THAT WAS BAD. I’M GONNA SAY THAT’S A BAD PICK AND JUST KEEP GOING. I’M JUST GONNA SAY THAT’S A BAD PICK. T.J.’S PARENTS, JOHN AND CAROL, NOT HAPPY. LOTS OF GAME LEFT. LED TO A F.G. BENGALS ON TOP 6-3. NEXT TEXANS DRIVE. BOOM! 10-2, BEN TATES BUT TAKES A HIT FROM RAY __ AND FUMBLES. ALSO RECOVERED BY __. A HECK OF A PLAY BY A MIDDLE LINEBACKER. MEETING A BIG R.B. IN THE HOLE AND RUINING HIS DAY. PUTTING YOUR HAT ON THE BALL. BENGALS TAKE OVER ON THE 3. NOW IT’S 4^TH & 3. JUST GIVE IT TO A.J. GREENE. ANYTIME. IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA. THAT COMBINATION IS AS GOOD. I MEAN PLEASE TELL ME A BETTER ROOKIE/QB/RECEIVER COMBINATION THE LAST 10 YRS. NOT OUT THERE. THERE MAY BE ONE BUT I DON’T REMEMBER IT. THAT’S A GOOD ROOKIE THROW. DALTON TO JEROME SIMPSON. 17 YD. SCORE. IT’S 13-3. THAT WAS O.J. BENGALS UP 16-3 AT HALFTIME. THE 3^RD QUARTER NOW. BANG. DALTON SACKED BY CONNOR BALDWIN. RECOVERED BY BROOKS REED. WELL THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED FROM THE #1 RANKED DEFENSE WHEN YOUR OFFENSE IS STRUGGLING. GIVE THEM A LIFT. GIVE THEM A BOOST. IT GAVE THEM BOTH. HOUSTON OFFENSE, PLAY ACTION TO THE T.E. EVERY SINGLE SUNDAY. JOEL DRESSON, IT’S 16-10. YOU KNOW WHY PAUL? BECAUSE THEY RAN IT FOR 144 YDS. TODAY AND YOU RUN THE FOOTBALL EFFECTIVELY, 5 YDS. PER CLIP, THE PLAY ACTION’S AVAILABLE. AND IT SPEAKS TO ALSO THE POUND-FOR-POUND, BEST OFFSEASON ACQUISITION THAT WE SPOKE OF YESTERDAY. THAT WOULD BE WADE PHILIPS. I AGREE. DEFENSIVELY, THEY’VE JUST DONE SOME TREMENDOUS THINGS. SHOVEL PASS TO BERNARD SCOTT. THAT WAS 3^RD & 15, JUST SHORT. MARVIN LEWIS GOES FOR IT. WADE PHILIPS, DEFENSIVE COORD. FOR HOUSTON SAYS BRING IT ON. 4^TH & INCHES. FALSE START ON MIKE MCGLINE. YOU CAN’T DO THAT. YOU KNOW THE SNAP COUNT. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? T.J. YATES PARENTS SAID, “WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?” FORCED TO PUNT. LAST CHANCE FOR THE TEXANS. YATES TO OWEN DANIELS. WHAT YOU SEE HERE AGAIN. IT’S BEEN TALKED ABOUT. BAIL YOUR YOUNG QB OUT. GUYS MAKE PLAYS. THAT’S A HECK OF A TRACK. 3^RD DOWN & 15 GUYS. GO T.J. NICE. GO T.J. IT’S JUST ENOUGH. 17 YDS. AND A 1^ST. THAT’S A ROOKIE. THAT’S A ROOKIE. A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER, 2^ND & 10. YATES THROWING THIS TIME TO OWEN DANIELS. INCOMPLETE BUT WE DO HAVE A PENALTY MARKER DOWN. INTERFERENCE ON REGGIE NELSON. TEXANS FROM THE 6. 2 PLAYS LATER, YATES, KEVIN WALTER. YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES? TD. TEXANS. JUST THE PATIENCE. HE LOOKS LIKE A VETERAN IN THE POCKET ALREADY JUST AFTER A COUPLE OF STARTS. SURE, HE’S MAKING MISTAKES. GIVE HER A BIG HUG. WHY NOT? MY BABY! TEARS OF JOY. THEY HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM TO SPREAD OUT AND TAKE AS MANY DIFFERENT SEATS AS THEY WANTED. CINCY JUST.. 7-5 COMING INTO THIS GAME AND THEY’RE JUST NOT SUPPORTED BY THAT TOWN NOW. AND AS IMPRESSIVE A PERFORMANCE BY A QB TODAY, WAS THAT FROM T.J. YATES. 26 FOR 44, 300 YDS., 2 TDS. BUT, AGAIN, THE POISE. THE PLAYS THAT HE HAD TO MAKE DOWN THAT FIELD ON THAT LAST DRIVE. I DON’T KNOW HOW FAR THE TEXANS CAN GO BUT I DO KNOW THEY FOUND THEMSELVES A PLAYER. I’M NOT SAYING HE’S A STARTER BUT HE IS A PLAYER. I THINK THEY CAN WIN A PLAYOFF GAME. DO I THINK THEY CAN GET TO THE AFC TITLE GAME AND THEN TO THE S.B.? NO. NOT WITH A 3^RD STRING ROOKIE QB. BUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS AND BECAUSE OF WHAT WE’VE SEEN FROM HIM, I THINK THEY COULD WIN A 1^ST ROUND PLAYOFF GAME.

01:33:35 – MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ DETROIT LIONS

TIGHT GAME IN THE NFC NORTH. THE VIKINGS AT THE LIONS. JIM SCHWARTZ EMPHASIZING DISCIPLINE THIS WEEK. CHRISTIAN PONDER SUITING UP AND STARTING IN SPITE OF THAT HIP INJURY, LOOKING FOR…HE’S NOT LOOKING FOR THAT. SACKED BY CLIFF AVRIL. TURNOVERS WERE THE THEME OF THE DAY. THE VIKINGS TURNED IT OVER 6 TIMES TODAY. CHRISTIAN PONDER WITH THAT FUMBLE AND 3 PICKS TO FOLLOW. THAT WAS THE VIKINGS 1^ST PLAY OF THE GAME. PONDER’S PASS NOW INTENDED FOR __ __, PICKED OFF BY ALONZO SMITH. HE IS VERY HOT AND COLD. YES HE IS. CHRISTIAN PONDER CAN ABSOLUTELY THROW IT SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING WITH IT. TITUS YOUNG, THE ROOKIE OUT OF BOISE ST., IN STRIDE AND INTO THE END ZONE. THAT’S SPINNING IT RIGHT THERE. KEEP THAT BALL TUCKED AWAY. I’M JUST SAYING. VERY CLOSE TO THAT BALL BEING KNOCKED OUT AS HE CROSSED THE GOAL LINE. STAFFORD TO BRANDON PETTIGREW. 17 YD. GAIN WITH A NICE LITTLE LEAP TO LEGARRETT BLOUNT. WOW. HE’S GOT A… HE DOES. YOU KNOW, I THINK HE GETS $40 EVERY TIME SOMEONE DOES THAT. AND HE SCORED MOMENTS LATER AND IT WAS 21-NOTHING DETROIT 2^ND QUARTER. THAT’S GOING BACK. AGAIN, YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE THAT THROW. THAT THROW’S GONNA BE TOWARDS THE SIDELINE. WELL YOU GOTTA KNOW WHAT THROWS YOU CAN MAKE, PHYSICALLY. AND YOU KNOW THAT THEY’RE GONNA BE SITTING ON ROUTES AS WELL AGAINST A ROOKIE QB. I THOUGHT YOU FELT THAT. I WAS WATCHING YOU. I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO RESPOND. IT’S 28-7. PONDER, PERCY HARVIN, 6 YD. SCORE. VIKINGS GOT THE LEAD TO 28-14. I THOUGHT, ONCE AGAIN, PERCY HARVIN … 40 YDS. RUSHING, 69 YDS. RECEIVING. 31-14 AT THE HALF. PONDER LOOKING FOR PERCY HARVIN AGAIN. ..BY ERIC WRIGHT. ROLLING RIGHT, THROWING LEFT. COME ON! THIS IS THE NFL. I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE …OF THE SOUTH WHERE HE CAME FROM. YOU CAN’T DO THAT. …2 INCHES SOUTH OF THAT. PONDER TAKEN OFF HIS FEET BY STEVEN TULLOCK AND JIM SCHWARTZ FIRED UP. PONDER WAS NOT HURT ON THE PLAY BUT LESLIE FRASIER DECIDES TO PUT IN JOE WEBB. PONDER JUST 11 OUT OF 21, 3 INTERCEPTIONS. TERRELL WEBB PUTS ON A LITTLE SHOW. LET ME TELL YOU. THEY HAD NO ANSWER FOR THIS. THEY DIDN’T EXPECT THIS. SEE YA. 65 YD., JOE WEBB SCRAMBLING TD. IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HE’S MOVING REAL FAST, DOES IT? HE’S GOT THE LONG STRIDES, AND HE RUNS LIKE A 4.3. HE’S EATING UP YDS. GUNTHER CUNNINGHAM’S DEFENSE. SAY IT TO HIS FACE. 31-21. HERE COMES JOE WEBB AGAIN TO TOBY GERHARDT. 2 YD. SCORE. YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKS PAUL? BECAUSE THEY RUN THE FOOTBALL EFFECTIVELY. 34-28, NOW UNDER 8 MINS. TO PLAY. THE VIKINGS RIGHT BACK IN THIS ONE. NEXT DETROIT POSSESSION, 3^RD DOWN & 2. STAFFORD TO TITUS YOUNG FOR ONLY 1 AND IT’S 4^TH DOWN. THAT’S A NICE THROW THERE. THAT IS A NICE THROW. IT WAS. THE LIONS PART WITH 3:42 LEFT IN THE GAME. NEXT VIKINGS POSSESSION, 17^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. 17^TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE LED BY JOE WEBB. I’M EXHAUSTED WATCHING IT. JOE WEBB KEEPING IT HIMSELF DOWN TO THE 2 YD. LINE. CLOCK PLAY. CLOCK PLAY. GONNA SPIKE THE BALL BUT CLIFF AVRIL JUMPS OFF-SIDES. THE PENALTY PUTS THE BALL ON …WITH 9 SECS. LEFT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AND YOU STOP THE CLOCK!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU GIVE THE OFFENSE A CHANCE TO REGROUP AND MAKE A DECISION ON WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THE FOOTBALL! I WANT TO SAY, “MAN, YOU’RE STUPID. 9 SECS. LEFT. I SAID THAT. JUST KIDDING. JOE WEBB SACKED BY D’ANDRE LEADING FUMBLE. FINALLY RECOVERED BY AVRIL AT THE LIONS 42. THEY JUST CAN’T HANDLE IT. WELL THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU’RE 2-10. MOMENTS LIKE THIS OCCUR. IT CAN’T END LIKE THAT. BUT THE LIONS, VERY LUCKY TO ESCAPE WITH A WIN, AND THEY’RE VERY LUCKY THAT THIS WAS NOT CALLED A FACEMASK IN THE PROCESS. WOW. BECAUSE THAT’S ANOTHER UNDISCIPLINED PLAY BY A LIONS DEFENDER. WELL THE COACH SAID THERE’S GONNA BE A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THIS. IT WOULD’VE BEEN ZERO TOLERANCE IF THEY LOST THIS GAME. THE LIONS HANG ON TO WIN 34-28. IMPROVE TO 8-5. JOE WEBB’S 12 OUT OF 13. ALSO RUSHED FOR OVER 100 YDS. BUT NOT ENOUGH. VIKINGS FALL TO 2-11. NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR THEM BUT THE DETROIT LIONS STAY ALIVE. THEY’VE ALSO GOT TO GET TO 10 WINS IF THEY HAVE THEIR SIGHTS SET ON A WILDCARD SPOT WHICH THEY DO.

01:38:05 – KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ NEW YORK JETS

K.C. ONLY HAS 2 TDS. IN THE LAST 5 GAMES. AND BOTH KYLE ORTON AND MATT CASSEL ARE OUT. SO THAT MEANS TYLER PALKO GETTING HIS 4^TH CAREER START. JETS AT HOME WHERE THEY’RE 5-1 ON THE SEASON. OPENING DRIVE AND SHAWN GREEN IS GOING TO BOUNCE OFF SOME GUYS. MAKE GOOD CUTBACK. HE PICKS UP A NICE GAIN OF 31 YDS. ON THE PLAY BEFORE FINALLY GOING OUT OF BOUNDS. THE LONGEST RUN OF THE SEASON FOR SHAWN GREEN. AND THEN, SAME DRIVE FOR THE JETS. THEIR OPENING DRIVE 10 PLAYS LATER. SANCHEZ FAKES OUT EVERYBODY WITH THE BOOTLEG AND WALKS IN FOR THE 1 YD. SCORE. JETS UP 7-0. AN 11 PLAY, 77 YD. DRIVE TO OPEN UP THE GAME. ONTO THE 2^ND. THEY’RE UP 7-3. 2^ND QUARTER. A 3^RD & 3 AND SANCHEZ IS BROUGHT DOWN BY JUSTIN HOUSTON FOR A LOSS OF 7. HOUSTON’S 4^TH SACK OF THE SEASON. HE HAD 3 LAST WEEK. SANCHEZ SHAKEN UP ON THE SIDELINES. THE TRAINERS WILL TAKE A LOOK AT HIS ARM BUT HE WOULD REMAIN IN THE GAME. ENSUING K.C. DRIVE, A 3^RD & 11, AND THIS TIME TYLER PALKO’S PASS, INTENDED FOR STEVE BREASTON. PICKED OFF BY JAY LEONARD BUT HE COMES OFF HOBBLING AFTER THAT ONE. HURT HIS RIGHT KNEE ON THE PLAY. HE WAS DOWN. HAD TO BE CARTED OFF THE FIELD. HE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT GETTING HURT ON THAT PLAY, OF COURSE. ENSUING JETS DRIVE. SANCHEZ UNDER PRESSURE. THAT WAS BY DESIGN. IT’S A SCREEN PASS TO SHAWN GREENE. HE’S GONNA TAKE IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE 2 YD. LINE. ALMOST GOT IN FOR THE TD. BUT GREENE PUSHED OUT OF BOUNDS. STILL PICKED UP 36 ON THE PLAY. 2 PLAYS LATER A 2^ND & 6. SANCHEZ UNDER CENTER. PLENTY OF TIME. END ZONE. SANTONIO HOLMES IS THERE FOR THE TD. CATCH AND THE JETS GO UP 14-3. THE 7^TH TD. OF THE SEASON FOR SANTONIO. NEXT JETS DRIVE UP 14-3. THEY GIVE IT TO SHAWN GREENE WHO MARCHES INTO THE END ZONE. A 7 YD. SCORE FOR SHAWN GREENE. HIS ONLY TD. OF THE GAME. HE DID GO OVER 100 YDS. FOR THE 2^ND TIME ON THE SEASON, AND JETS GO UP 21-3; AND THEN THEY SET UP THE SCREEN PASS AGAIN. THIS TIME TO LADAINIAN TOMLINSON. HE MAKES A NICE MOVE! STUMBLES INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE SCORE. L.T. WITH HIS 3^RD TD. OF THE SEASON, AND THE JETS ARE JUST BLOWING AWAY THE CHIEFS. TODD HALEY NOT HAPPY AT ALL ON THE SIDELINES. THE JETS JUST PILING ON. SANCHEZ WITH THE QB DRAW. OFF THE FAKE ON 3^RD & 3, HE GETS IN FOR HIS 2^ND RUSHING TD. OF THE SEASON. HE HAD 2 RUSHING TDS., 2 PASSING TDS. HIS 2^ND 4^TH QUARTER TD. OF THE SEASON; AND JUST NOTHING GOING RIGHT FOR THE CHIEFS. JACKIE BATTLE STUFFED IN THE END ZONE FOR A SAFETY. THE JETS GO UP 37-10. THEY WOULD WIN IT BY THAT SCORE. IMPROVE TO 6 & 1 AT HOME ON THE SEASON, AND JUST A DISASTROUS GAME FOR THE CHIEFS.

01:41:08 – INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS

THE COLTS HAVE WON THE LAST 6 MEETINGS BETWEEN THE TEAMS. RAY RICE COMING OFF A CAREER-HIGH 204 RUSHING YDS. LAST WEEK. 1^ST QUARTER, 1^ST POSSESSION FOR THE RAVENS AND RAY RICE TAKES IT UP THE MIDDLE. TRIES TO CUT TOWARDS THE SIDELINES. PICKS UP 11. SETS UP A 1^ST & GOAL AT THE 8. THEN OUT OF THE I FLACCO PLAY-FAKE. END ZONE. TD. TO TORY SMITH. SMITH LEADS THE TEAM IN RECEIVING TDS. THIS SEASON. THAT WAS HIS 6^TH. RAVENS UP 7-NOTHING. ON THEIR ENSUING POSSESSION A 1^ST & 10. THE DUMP-OFF GOES TO RAY RICE. HE’S GONNA MAKE A COUPLE MOVES. CUT BACK ACROSS THE FIELD. RICE STILL ON HIS FEET. FINALLY BROUGHT DOWN. PICKS UP 18 YDS. IT WOULD LEAD TO A F.G. BALTIMORE UP 10-NOTHING AT HOME WHERE THEY ARE UNDEFEATED THIS SEASON. THEN FLACCO IN THE 2^ND QUARTER ON A 2^ND & 10 HITS DENNIS PITA FOR A GAIN OF 16. THEN SAME DRIVE 4 PLAYS LATER, A 2^ND & GOAL. WHY NOT GIVE IT TO RAY RICE? HE BREAKS TOWARDS THE LEFT AND GETS INTO THE END ZONE. HIS 10^TH RUSHING TD. OF THE SEASON. FLEXING THOSE MUSCLES. BALT. LEADS 17-NOTHING. MORE PROBLEMS FOR INDY. THEY HAVE A 4^TH & 3 2^ND QUARTER. THEY WERE WINLESS THIS YEAR. WHY NOT GO FOR IT? AND THEY COMPLETE IT TO DALLAS CLARK. DAN ORLOVSKY WITH THE GAIN OF 12. THAT DRIVE WOULD END WITH A F.G. SO AT LEAST INDY WAS ON THE BOARD. ONTO THE 3^RD. FLACCO PLENTY OF TIME, GOING OVER TO HIS LEFT. THROWS DOWNFIELD AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON THE SIDELINES! MAKING THE GRAB, KEEPING HIS FEET INBOUNDS. LEE EVANS, AND THEN THEY GIVE IT TO RAY RICE WHO’S GOT A HUGE HOLE. PICKS UP THE 1^ST DOWN, A GAIN OF 19, AND THAT PUT RAY RICE OVER 1000 YDS. FOR THE SEASON, AND OVER 4,000 FOR HIS CAREER. 3 PLAYS LATER 3^RD & GOAL. FLACCO, HE’S GONNA STEP UP IN THE POCKET…AND, WHILE HE’S ROLLING TO HIS RIGHT, STAYS BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. LOFTS IT INTO THE END ZONE. DENNIS PITA IS THERE. THE T.E. GOT HIS 2^ND TD. CATCH OF THE SEASON. RAVENS GO UP 24-3. ONTO THE 4^TH. INDY JUST TRYING TO GET THEIR FIRST TD. OF THE GAME. BUT, DAN ORLOVSKY THROWS AND HIS PASS IS PICKED OFF BY BERNARD POLLARD. THE COLTS WOULD ADD A TD. ON THE FINAL PLAY OF TH GAME. THEY LOST 24-10.

01:43:33 – CLEVELAND BROWNS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS

IT ALL STARTED WITH COLT MCCOY GETTING THE BALL FIRST. TRYING TO COME UP WITH HIS 1^ST DIVISION WIN OF HIS CAREER; AND BIG BEN ROETHLISBERGER JUST COMING IN WITH A BROKEN THUMB ON HIS THROWING HAND. THAT’S ALL. ROETHLISBERGER DOWN 3-0. FINDS JERICHO COTCHERY IN THE END ZONE FOR A TD. THIS IS WHAT HE DOES BEST. EXTEND THE PLAY. WAIT FOR SOMEBODY TO WORK OPEN AND HIS RECEIVERS AND THE QB HAVE A GOOD RHYTHM TOGETHER. AND THEN THIS GAME TURNED INTO A TURNOVER FESTIVAL WITH THE STEELERS MOVING INTO THE RED ZONE. HINES WARD, OF ALL PEOPLE, PUT THE BALL ON THE TURF. VERY UNCHARACTERISTIC OF HINES WARD. THE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE TOUGH MENTALITY OF THIS PITTS. STEELERS YOUNG RECEIVING CORP. AND TO HAVE HIM PLACE THE BALL ON THE CARPET, THAT’S VERY UNLIKE HINES. ENSUING BROWNS POSSESSION THOUGH, HERE COMES TROY POLAMALU, LURKING. PICK OF COLT MCCOY. RETURNS IT TO THE CLEVELAND 10. A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT POLAMALU AFTER SUFFERING THE CONCUSSION LAST WEEK. BUT YOU CAN SEE, HEY, HE’S DOING FINE. HE’S STILL READING DEFENSES AND MAKING PLAYS. SO COLT MCCOY GOING BACK HAVING A CHAT WITH HIS COACH PAT SHURMUR. BOUGHT THE STEELERS. COULDN’T TURN IT INTO POINTS BECAUSE HEATH MILLER, OF ALL PEOPLE, PUTS THE BALL ON THE TURF. 3 TURNOVERS WITHIN 7 SNAPS OF THE FOOTBALL FOR BOTH TEAMS. TACKLE BY JOE HAYDEN. AND ROETHLISBERGER, ON THE NEXT POSSESSION OF A GAME THAT’S JUST 7-3, EXTENDS THE PLAY A LITTLE TOO LONG; AND THIS IS WHERE HE GOT HIS ANKLE HURT ON THIS PLAY. HE GOT BENT OVER. NOW HE’LL SEE THE REPLAY. AND THIS ENTIRE STADIUM GOT REAL QUIET REAL FAST BECAUSE YOU DON’T’ WANT TO EVER SEE A QB GOING DOWN LIKE THIS. HE WAS IN PAIN. SACKED BY SCOTT PAXEN. STEELERS DIDN’T MOVE THE BALL WORTH A LICK WITH CHARLIE BATCH BEFORE THE 2^ND HALF. LOOK WHO CAME OUT FOR THE 2^ND HALF. A GUY WHO NEEDED HELP OFF THE FIELD IN THE 3^RD, 2^ND QUARTER. THIS IS HOW ROETHLISBERGER LOOKED COMING OUT. WE’VE WATCHED HIM PLAY ENOUGH, AND WE KNOW THIS GUY’S A FIERCE COMPETITOR. YOU HEARD MIKE MAYOCK TALK ABOUT IT. HE COMPETES AT EVERYTHING. AND I GUARANTEE YOU, COMING OUT AND FINISHING THIS GAME BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT THEY NEEDED THIS WIN BECAUSE OF THAT COMPETITOR IN HIM. ONE OF THE OLDEST RIVALRIES IN THE NFL. OUTSIDE OF G.B. AND CHICAGO NO ONE HAS PLAYED MORE THAN THESE 2 TEAMS AND THEY SHOWED IT TODAY. ROETHLISBERGER WITH THE THROW. THE COMPLETION AND THE LIMP, AND THEN LATER ON HE’S TRYING TO COMPLETE IT TO ANTONIO BROWN BUT IT’S AN INCOMPLETE PASS; AND STILL ROETHLISBERGER AND THE STEELERS ONLY HAVE A 4 PT. LEAD. LATE IN THE 3^RD QUARTER IS WHEN RASHARD MENDENHAHL BEGAN TO ASSERT HIS PRESENCE. WE SAW THE RUNNING GAME START TO TAKE OVER. LAST WEEK AGAINST CINCY THEY STARTED BUILDING. TONIGHT WHEN BEN COULD NOT GET IT GOING, THE RUNNING GAME GOT THEM. MENDENHAHL 15 OF HIS 76 YDS., 4^TH QUARTER, 1^ST MIN. OF ROETHLISBERGER OVER THE MIDDLE TO ANTONIO BROWN ON 3^RD & LONG MOVING THE CHAINS FOR 27 YDS. IT’S THE SAME GUY WHO PREVIOUSLY DROPPED THE PASS BUT BIG BEN HAD ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO COME BACK TO HIM. 2 PLAYS LATER, ROETHLISBERGER FOR SHOTGUN FINDS MIKE WALLACE STREAKING ACROSS THE MIDDLE. WALLACE MAKING A PLAY, STOPPED. GETS IN THE END ZONE. CALLED A TD. BUT THE LEFT KNEE’S GOT GRASS STAINS ON IT. BOOTH BUZZES DOWN. ALL SCORING PLAYS ARE REVIEWED. MOVE IT BACK TO THE 2 YD. LINE, AND THAT IS WHEN A BIG TIME SLOBBER-KNOCKER OF AN O-LINE DEFENSE BEGAN TO UNFOLD. IF THERE’S 1 BRIGHT SPOT, MIKE HOLMGREN, PAT SHURMUR WANT TO LOOK AT THE FIGHT THAT THEY SHOWED WITH THIS GOAL LINE STANCE. UNBELIEVABLE. 4 SNAPS IN A ROW. YOU’LL SEE CHRIS __ FROM CAL POLY SAN LUIS OBISPO IN ON EVERY PLAY. DID YOU NAME 3 COLLEGES?! GOTTA GET IT IN THERE AND ON 4^TH DOWN…IF ONLY MENDENHAHL COULD GET IN THE END ZONE IN THE SAME WAY MARIUCCI GOT SAN LUIS POLY OBISPO WHATEVER... THAT’S A CHURCH. THAT’S A SCARY SIGHT WHEN THE PITTS. STEELER TEAM CAN’T GET 1 YD. THAT’S A SCARY SIGHT. BIG BEN THREW FOR 280 YDS. POLAMALU AND THE DEFENSE GOT IT’S JOB DONE AFTER MCCOY STARTED DEEP IN HIS OWN END. POLAMALU WITH A BIG HIT, NEEDED RYAN CLARK TO HELP POP HIS SHOULDER BACK IN. ROETHLISBERGER THROWS INTO COVERAGE WITH 7 MINS. TO GO. MIKE ADAMS, WHO WAS IN ON THAT GOAL LINE STAND WITH A BIG PICK. MEANWHILE THE BROWNS SEND COLT MCCOY OUT THERE WITH 7 MINS. TO GO DOWN … AN ABILITY TO ALTER THE RACE IN THE AFC; AND MCCOY WITH 5 AND CHANGE TO GO, TRYING TO GET THE 1^ST DOWN THROWS LATE AND GETS HIT. UNLOADED JAMES HARRISON. T HIS MIGHT LEAD TO A FED-EX ENVELOPE IN HIS LOCKER LATER ON EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT WAS HELMET-TO-HELMET. IT WAS CLEAN. COLT MCCOY… THEY SAID IT’S CLEAN? IT WAS CLEAN. IT WAS OUT OF THE POCKET. HE WAS A MOVING TARGET. HE WAS A RUNNER FOR AWHILE BUT HE BECAME A PASSER AND WHAM. 3^RD & GOAL, MCCOY THROWS IN THE END ZONE. WILLIAM GAY WITH THE PICK. THAT IS A BIG PICK. 3 MINS. TO GO. THE STEELERS GET THE BALL BACK NEEDING TO GET SOME 1^ST DOWNS TO END THE GAME, AND ROETHLISBERGER GETS A 1^ST DOWN AND SO MUCH MORE. BACK SHOULDER TO ANTONIO BROWN WHO IS …HE’S NOT THAT FAST. 79 YD. TD. FOR ANTONIO BROWN. HE’S NOT THAT FAST. PUT THIS GAME IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES ON ICE FOR THE PITTS. STEELERS. BEN ROETHLISBERGER IN A GAME THAT HE WAS KNOCKED OUT IN. IS THIS A FINEABLE HELMET-TO-HELMET HUG? I DON’T KNOW. 14-3. THE STEELERS WIN A GAME WHEN IT WAS DARK BEFORE THE DAWN. ROETHLISBERGER CAME BACK OUT AND LED THE TEAM TO VICTORY.

01:49:33 – CHICAGO BEARS @ DENVER BRONCOS

I KNOW BARKLEY DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE BUT… TIM TEBOW TAKING ON THE BEARS WHO WERE TALKING ALL WEEK AS IF THEY WOULD…I MEAN LANCE BRIGGS CALLED IT A CRAP FOOTBALL. THAT THEY WOULD BE … PISSED IF THEY LOST THIS GAME BECAUSE OF THE WAY TEBOW, I GUESS, AND THE BRONCOS PLAYED FOOTBALL; AND THEN EARLY ON IN THIS GAME IT WAS A SCORELESS CONTEST TO JULIUS PEPPERS, DOING HIS WORK ON SPECIAL TEAMS. YOU KNOW HE DID START AT THE UNIV. OF N.C. ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM. YES HE DID. YEA. THAT MEANS.. THIS WAS A SCORELESS 3^RD QUARTER. TIM TEBOW, WHO WAS STRUGGLING THROUGHOUT THE 1^ST 3 QUARTERS OF THIS GAME THROWS TO DEMARIUS THOMAS. A GREAT PASS. HIT HIM RIGHT ALMOST DARN NEAR IN THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS. SOMEBODY IN THE 88 CLUB. YOU GOTTA GO MAKE THAT PLAY. YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT PLAY. YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT PLAY. HE DID NOT LISTEN TO MICHAEL IRVIN TELLING HIM HE MUST PLAY INSPIRED TODAY. SO INSTEAD OF A TD. THERE’S NO POINTS, AND THEN THE BEARS MOVE DOWN THE FIELD. NO MATT FORTE FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL SEASON. MARION BARBER GETTING IT DONE AT THIS JUNCTURE. WELL YOU KNOW THERE’S A LOT TO FILL THE SHOES OF MATT FORTE BECAUSE ON THAT PLAY WITH HIS PATIENCE AND HIS COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, HE DID A GREAT JOB. 6^TH PLAY DRIVE. 7-0 BEARS. IT’S 10-NOTHING BEARS. WE PICK IT UP WITH 2 & CHANGE TO GO. TEBOW DINKED AND DUNKED DOWN THE FIELD. THE PREVENT DEFENSE ALLOWED HIM TO GET RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD. HE FINDS DEMARIUS THOMAS. TOUCHDOWN. THEN YOU GOTTA GO ONSIDES NOW, RIGHT STEVE? YOU WOULD THINK. O.K. WELL THEY GO ONSIDES AND THE BEARS GET THE BALL, AND MARION BARBER, ALL HE HAS TO DO IS… JUST RUN OUT THE CLOCK. MARION BARBER, WITH NO TIMEOUTS FOR THE BRONCOS, RUNS OUT OF BOUNDS. BIG MISTAKE. BIG HOLD ON PLAYER RIGHT THERE. SO THAT MEANS TIM TEBOW HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET THE BALL BACK AND MOVE DOWN THE FIELD FOR A GAME-TYING F.G.; AND JUST..YOU JUST SENSED IT. YOU SENSED IT. HE MAKES A PLAY TO ERIC DECKER. FOR A COUPLE QUARTERS HE DOESN’T COMPLETE A PASS AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE HAS THE HOT HAND IN TEBOW TIME. HE HAD 11 STRAIGHT INCOMPLETIONS IN THE FIRST 3 QUARTERS. THEN HE WENT 15 FOR 20 IN THE 4^TH QUARTER. HE SURVEYED THE SECONDARY AND HIT HIS CHECK DOWN. GREAT QB’ING. TEBOW, SPIKES THE BALL. TEBOW WHOA…TEBOW. GET OUT OF BOUNDS. WHERE IS THE CORNERBACK? FLINGS IT! OUT! 18 YD. GAIN. 23 TICKS TO GO. TEBOW TO LAVARIUS THOMAS. OH, THAT’S INCOMPLETE. 18 TICKS TO GO. NEXT PLAY, 2^ND & 10 FROM THE BEARS 41. TEBOW TO LANCE. HE BOUNCED THE BALL RIGHT THERE. HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GROUND IT ESSENTIALLY. 14 TICKS LEFT TO GO. 3^RD & 10 FROM THE BEARS 41. 59 YARDER. JOHN ELWAY’S DIPPING. CLOCK STOPS AT 18 SECONDS LEFT AS TEBOW…RUNS IT OUT OF BOUNDS AND STOPS THE CLOCK. SMART PLAY! IT’S A 59 YARDER FOR MATT PRADER. THAT WOULD MATCH HIS CAREER BEST TO SEND IT TO OVERTIME. MATT PRADER. HE …GOT IT!! TIES THE GAME! TIM TEBOW TIED IT IN ALL 3 PHASES, AND SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, TURNS THE OPPOSITION INTO THE WASH. GENERALS. ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. THE BEARS GET THE BALL IN OVERTIME. GET THE BALL FIRST. WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO? THEY’VE GOT A GREAT KICKER IN ROBBIE GOLD, RIGHT? THEY CAN MARCH IT RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD THEMSELVES IN THE THIN ROCKY MOUNTAIN AIR. THEY’RE SET TO GO. NO, NO. MARION BARBER! HE RUNS IT OUT OF BOUNDS! FUMBLES IT INTO OVERTIME AND THE BRONCOS GET THE BALL BACK. TEBOW, WHOA!! TEBOW.. 1^ST DOWN TO LAVARIUS THOMAS ON 3^RD & 8. MOVE THE CHAINS DOWN THE FIELD. WHOA! TEBOW…THROWS TO DEVARIUS THOMAS. THEY’RE INSIDE THE 40 YARD LINE! THESE QBS ARE REALLY NOT PLAYING AGGRESSIVELY. PRADER FOR 51 YDS. NO, NO. HE GOT IT!! THE 5^TH 4^TH QUARTER O.T. COMEBACK WIN FOR TIM TEBOW!!

PLAY ACTION. WHERE’S … DOUCETTE? RIGHT THERE. IN STRIDE. 60 YD. TD. LARRY FITZGERALD WITH THE HUGE BLOCK ON THAT PLAY. AS LONG AS YOU POINT IT OUT JAMIE, WHY NOT TAKE A CLOSER LOOK? REALLY? WHAT’S THAT DANCE? WHAT’S THAT DANCE? THAT’S A BIG BLOCK ON TERRELL BROWN. WOW. NICE. AND LARRY SHOWS YOU HE’S A COMPLETE PLAYER BECAUSE, AFTER THAT, IT’S THE LARRY FITZGERALD SHOW. CARDINALS UP 7-6. ALEX SMITH TO HIS T.E. VERNON DAVIS UNDERNEATH. THE CATCH AND THE RUN FOR 32 YDS. LOOKED LIKE VERNON WAS LOOKING TO JUMP OVER. HE WAS. HE REALLY DID. HE WAS LOOKING TO JUMP OVER THE TOP OF SOMEBODY.

01:59:22 – OAKLAND RAIDERS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS

THE GIANTS SHOWED A BLUEPRINT. EITHER WAY THE OAKLAND RAIDERS, EVEN WITH CARSON PALMER, WHO’S THE ONLY BENGAL QB TO EVER WIN IN LAMBEAU FIELD, JUST DIDN’T SEEM TO HAVE THE FIRE POWER OR THE A-GAME. CERTAINLY WITH CARSON PALMER GETTING PICKED IN THE OPENING DRIVE OF THE GAME. THAT ONE BY D.J. SMITH. AND THEN THE PACKERS NEXT SNAP .. JUST LIKE THAT. IT’S RYAN GRANT TO THE HOUSE. HE’S HURT.

DON’T DO IT. ROB FRANCOIS IN THE END ZONE. 3^RD PICK OF THE DAY FOR PALMER. RAIDERS GO UP..GO INTO HALFTIME DOWN 31-NOTHING. AND THEN AARON RODGERS COMES OUT OF HALFTIME. FINDS GREG JENNINGS. THE ONLY GRAY CLOUD OVER THIS IS THAT JENNINGS HURTS HIS KNEE ON THE PLAY. HE TARGETED 11 DIFFERENT RECEIVERS ON THE DAY. AND JENNINGS DID GIVE THE THUMBS UP AS HE WAS CARTED OFF. THEY GOTTA HAVE HIM FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. GOTTA HAVE GREG JENNINGS. SO WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE. AND G.B. WAS UP 37-7 LATER ON WHEN PALMER DUMPS THIS ONE OFF TO MARCEL REESE. BALL’S LOOSE. ERIC WALDEN GETS IT UP. TAKES IT IN. THAT’S A DEFENSIVE SCORE. THEY DO THAT OFTEN. PACKERS CRUISE 46-16. A BAKER’S DOZEN OF WINS.

LEFT IN THE HALF. 17-15. 20-15. DALLAS ON TOP. LONG COVERAGE. MARIO MANNINGHAM WIDE OPEN! FEW GUYS RUNNING OFF THE FIELD. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT THEY GOT THE COVERAGE. A GUY BLITZED FROM THAT NEAR SIDE, LEFT IT WIDE OPEN. JUST A BLOWN COVERAGE. GREAT READ FINDING THE GUY BY ELI MANNING. I BELIEVE IN ELI. GIANTS END UP KICKING OFF ON THEIR OWN 20 NOW. ROB RYAN GETTING LOUD WITH HIS DEFENSE. GUYS, LET’S GO. 4^TH QUARTER, COWBOYS DOWN 22-20. ROMO BUYING A LITTLE EXTRA TIME. HOW ABOUT THE ADDITION OF LARON ROBINSON? MAN, HE’S MADE SOME PLAYS FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS. PICKED UP FROM THE CHARGERS AND HE HAS COME ON STRONG. 74 YDS. THERE. DOWN TO THE COWBOYS 6. HE’S THE ONE RIGHT NOW. 1^ST & GOAL. HERE IT IS ROMO. MILES AUSTIN BACK. TOUCHDOWN. VERY EASY THROW. YOU GOTTA BE ACCURATE ON THE RUN. WELL DONE BY TONY. 27-22. IS THAT HIS WIFE? IT IS. CANDICE. SHE’S ENJOYING HERSELF. GIANTS COMING RIGHT BACK. DEMARCUS WARE UP AGAINST BARE PASCAL BUT HE INJURES HIS SHOULDER ON THE PLAY. RUNS STRAIGHT TO THE SIDELINES. IT’S A BIG LUMP THERE. TRAINERS ARE WORKING ON WARE. MEANWHILE, ELI WORKING ON THAT COWBOY SECONDARY. BUT IT’S BROKEN UP HERE. THIS IS LOOKING FOR MANNINGHAM. HE REALLY EXTENDED. KNOCKED THAT BALL AWAY. HERE WE GO. 4^TH & 3. GIANTS ARE GONNA GO FOR IT DOWN 27-22. MANNING WITH A STRIKE TO MANNINGHAM, 15 YDS. AND A 1ST DOWN. 3 PLAYS LATER ON THE DRIVE, 3^RD & 9. MANNING LOOKING FOR WARE. IT’S TIPPED. AND SOMEHOW SHAWN LEE MAKES THE INTERCEPTION….AND STAYS INBOUNDS. LOOK AT THE FOOTWORK FROM SHAWN LEE. KNOCK THAT BALL AWAY. IT’S A T.E. IT’S HIS 4^TH PICK OF THE YEAR. THE MOST AMONG LINEBACKERS. AND LOOK AT LEE. LOOK AT THE ATHLETICISM. HE’S GOT A CAST ON HIS LEFT ARM. WONDERFUL CONCENTRATION, MAN. THIS KID, HE HAS GREAT RECOGNITION SKILLS. COWBOYS GOING FOR THE JUGULAR. THAT SHOULDER PUMP FAKE, 2^ND & 11. THE 88 CLUB. WIDE OPEN! THERE’S NOT TOO MANY QBS THAT CAN EXTEND PLAYS LIKE TONY ROMO. THAT WAS A BLOWN COVERAGE THEREAFTER. JERRY JONES, STEVEN __. THEY LOVE IT UP THERE. 34-22. JASON GARRETT’S CLUB UP BY 12. DON’T COUNT OUT THE GIANTS. 3^RD & 1. MANNING LAYS IT UP THERE FOR CRUZ. 23 YDS. AND A 1^ST DOWN. THEY GOT A NICE SLEW OF RECEIVERS OVER THERE IN N.Y. BETWEEN THOSE GUYS. 1^ST & 5 NOW FOR THE GIANTS AFTER A PENALTY. IT IS MANNING TO NICKS INSIDE THE 10! GUTSY CALL. THROWING THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD ON THESE RUNDOWN CALLS. HE WAS DOUBLE-COVERED. BEAUTIFUL. THE CLOCK. RUNNING OUT OF TIME. DOWN 12! MANNING TO BALLARD FOR THE TD. SHAWN, THAT’S…IT’S BEING REVIEWED BUT IT STOOD AS CALLED. GIANTS DO NOT GO FOR THE ONSIDE KICK. AND SO THE COWBOYS, WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO? ARE THEY GONNA STAY AGGRESSIVE? ROMO LOOKING FOR MILES… OH! HAMSTRING. GAME OVER. HE COULD NOT HIT THAT NEXT…HE’S SCARED. HE WAS SCARED. SO JERRY JONES KNOWS WHAT’S COMING HERE. GIANTS ARE GONNA GET THE BALL BACK HERE. MANNING. HE HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE. I BELIEVE IN ELI! IT’S BALLARD. TAKES IT 21 YDS. DOWN TO THE COWBOYS 37. MANNING HAS THROWN 14 4^TH QUARTER TDS. THIS YEAR. MANNING CAN’T HANDLE THE SNAP. CUT THE KICKER. BALL BOUNCES AROUND. SNAPPER. BRADSHAW RECOVERS IT. DEMARCUS WARE. THEY’RE CALLED OFF-SIDES. WHOA. SO IT’S A KILLER FOR THE COWBOYS. 1:33 LEFT. MANNING NOW TO MANNINGHAM. I BELIEVE IN ELI! HE’S WIDE OPEN BUT HE CAN’T SQUEEZE IT! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. THIS IS THE GAME RIGHT HERE. RIGHT WHEN HE GOT UP IT WAS RIGHT THERE. COME ON. NEXT PLAY THOUGH, AFTER A DEF. HOLDING PENALTY GAVE THE GIANTS A 1^ST & 10, IT IS MANNING LOOKING FOR BALLARD. PLENTY OF TIME. HITS HIM INSIDE THE 5, DOWN TO THE 1. COWBOYS USE THEIR 2^ND TIMEOUT WITH A MINUTE LEFT. 1^ST 7 GOAL. BRANDON JACOBS. THEY CAN’T STOP HIM. CAN’T STOP THE BURGLAR RIGHT THERE. 270 LBS. ACTUALLY, THEY DID STOP HIM. NO GAIN. 51 SECS. LEFT. SO THEY CALLED THEIR FINAL TIMEOUT, 2^ND & GOAL. AND THIS TIME JACOBS IS TOO BIG TO STOP. ROLLS RIGHT ON IN. SO THE GIANTS ALSO CONVERTED THE 2 PT. CONVERSION. SO THEY WERE UP 37-34 WITH 46 SECS. LEFT. ROB RYAN CAN’T BELIEVE IT. ALRIGHT. TONY ROMO NOW TO MILES AUSTIN. GREAT PLAY OVER THE MIDDLE. THEY’RE GONNA GIVE HIM THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. THEY SPIKE THE BALL WITH 29 SECS. LEFT. 3^RD & 4 HERE. AND JASON GARRETT, REMEMBER, HE WAS CRITICIZED A WEEK AGO FOR HIS CLOCK MGMT. RIGHT THERE. ROMO TO AUSTIN. TIME OUT. 21 YDS. SPIKES THE BALL WITH 6 SECS. LEFT. SO HERE COMES CAN BAILEY. HE’S GONNA TRY TO MAKE A 47 YD. F.G.; AND THIS TIME, AS THEY SPIKE IT RIGHT HERE. SO BAILEY’S GONNA SETUP FOR THE 47 YARDER. YEA. AND TOM COUGHLIN SHREWDLY CALLS TIMEOUT. IT’S SHREWD WHEN IT GOES IN. WHEN IT DOESN’T GO IN, IT’S A MISTAKE. BUT, HE SPLIT THE UPRIGHTS BUT IT DOESN’T COUNT BECAUSE COUGHLIN CALLED A TIMEOUT. SO HERE WE GO. THE GAME WINNER. BAILEY. IT IS BLOCKED! JASON PIERRE PAUL! WHAT A GAME. GIANTS WIN IT 34-14. THEY’RE IN FIRST IN THE EAST.
