01:10:14 – BALTIMORE RAVENS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

WE’LL SEE THAT PLAY AND ALL THE KEY PLAYS AS WE ROLL THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS. HERE GOES THE EARLY PART OF THE GAME WITH TOM BRADY AND THE PATRIOTS OUT OF THE TUNNEL, AND THEN YOU’VE GOT…WELL THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE JOE FLACCO MOMENT HERE WHERE YOU SEE HIM BEFORE THE GAME. YOU SEE RAY LEWIS SAYING HE’S CONTINUING TO PLAY THE GAME JUST TO WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP. YOU’LL HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER YEAR AS BALT. GOES THROUGH HEARTBREAK. THIS WAS A STRANGE PLAY. THAT ROUTE IS USUALLY THROWN TO A T.E. JULIAN EDELMAN IS ABOUT 5’10, 5’11. TOM THROWS THAT BALL ON THE INSIDE. THAT BALL IS NORMALLY THROWN UP FOR A GUY LIKE THE GRONKER TO GO AND GET IT. BAD RELEASE BY EDELMAN BUT A BAD DECISION, IN MY OPINION, BY TOM BRADY AS WELL. GOOD PLAY BY WEBB THOUGH WITH A GREAT CATCH. DARIUS WEBB WITH THE PICK AND THEY WOULD COME BACK THE OTHER WAY WITH A LITTLE RUNNING TD FOR THE PATRIOTS. TREMENDOUS RUN BY THE LAW FIRM HERE. THIS GUY DID A GREAT JOB SHOWING YOU PATIENCE AND, YES, WE KNOW WHAT YOUR NUMBER, WHAT YOUR NAME IS AND YOUR NUMBER. HE HAS LIKE 4 DIFFERENT NAMES. NO, THAT WAS ACTUALLY, HE WAS POINTING TO THE MYRA KRAFT PATCH ON HIS CHEST THERE FOR THE LATE MYRA KRAFT, WIFE OF ROBERT KRAFT THE OWNER OF THE N.E. PATRIOTS. SO BACK COMES BOLDEN. THERE WAS A LOT OF ANSWERED SCORES HERE. TOUCHDOWN BY THE PATRIOTS, THEN THE BALT. RAVENS ANSWER. JOE FLACCO WAS THE BETTER QB ON THE FIELD TODAY, STARTING FROM THE OPENING DRIVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THAT GAME. THAT WAS DENNIS PITA WITH A TD. CATCH. THEN WE GO TO THE 3RD QUARTER NOW AND THE RAVENS HAD NEVER COME FROM BEHIND IN A PLAYOFF GAME TO WIN IN THE 2ND HALF. HERE TORY SMITH BREAKS A TACKLE AND GOES THE DISTANCE. AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY BECAUSE TORY SMITH I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE THE
X-FACTOR IN THE GAME BECAUSE OF THAT BREAKAWAY SPEED, AND YOU SEE RIGHT HERE. LOOK AT THE 2 STEP PACK, AND HE’S FULL SPEED. THEY MISSED HIM EARLIER IN THE GAME AS WELL ON A BIG TD. PLAY THAT HE COULD’VE POSSIBLY CAUGHT. THEY WEREN’T IN-SYNC. BUT HE WAS DEFINITELY INBOUNDS. HE WAS. REMEMBER THE NAME STERLING MOORE WHO MISSED THAT TACKLE BECAUSE HE WILL SHOW UP A LITTLE BIT LATER IN THIS GAME. 29 YD. TD. YOU SAW IT WAS REVIEWED AS A SCORING PLAY AND IT WAS UPHELD. HE WAS NOT OUT OF BOUNDS. THE TROOPS GETTING ANOTHER PEP TALK BY THE LEADERS OF THE BALT. RAVENS, AND THEY ANSWER ON THE ENSUING KICKOFF AFTER THAT. DANNY WOODHEAD LOSES THE BALL. IT’S RECOVERED BY BALT. FOOTBALL’S A 3-PHASE GAME. ABSOLUTELY. OFFENSE, DEFENSE AND SPECIAL TEAMS; AND FOR THE MOMENT THE BALT. RAVENS SPECIAL TEAMS GIVES THEM AN EDGE. IT LED TO A F.G. SO A 4 PT. LEAD. THEN HERE WE HAD 3 PLAYS AT THE GOAL LINE. BEN JARVIS GREEN-ELLIS. YOU HAD A TOM BRADY SNEAK, AND THEN IT CAME DOWN TO 4TH DOWN. WOULD THEY GO FOR IT AND WHAT WOULD THEY CALL? THEY WERE DOWN BY 4. DOWN BY 4. SO THEY’RE GONNA GO FOR IT. AND YOU KNOW THE GUY THEY’RE GOING TO. I WANT YOU TO WATCH RAY LEWIS HIT TOM BRADY. THIS IS GONNA LEAVE A MARK. AND, IN FACT, THIS IS GOING TO LEAVE A MARK. LET’S GET A LITTLE SLOW MO. BAM! LOOK AT TOM’S LEGS FLOP OVER. WOW! BUT YOU’RE A 6’4 QB. IT’S A GOOD CALL WHEN YOU KNOW THAT DEF. LINE IS GONNA TRY TO ROOT OUT THAT OFF. LINE. SO THE PATRIOTS RETAKE THE LEAD. WE’RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE 4TH QUARTER RIGHT NOW. AFTER JOE FLACCO INTERCEPTS IT, TOM BRADY THROWS DEEP AND GETS PICKED! WHAT HE’S DOING, THIS IS CALLED SUDDEN CHANGE. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. YOU TAKE YOUR SHOT. NOW WHETHER IT’S THE RIGHT CALL OR NOT. SUDDEN CHANGE WITH SLATER. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. YOU TRY TO TAKE THAT SHOT OFF THE SUDDEN CHANGE. BUT NOT WITH SLATER. SLATER, I BELIEVE, HAD 1 CATCH ON THE SEASON. THIS IS A GREAT PLAY. POLLARD’S GONNA TAKE AWAY…YOU’RE GONNA SEE BECAUSE HE MAKES A GREAT PLAY ON THE BALL. WITH THAT SAID, INTO DOUBLE COVERAGE, AND YOU GIVE THE DEFENSE A TON OF CREDIT. YOU JUST EXPECT A H.O.F. QB TO MAKE A DIFFERENT DECISION, IN MY OPINION. BERNARD POLLARD WITH THE TIP. JIMMY SMITH WITH THE PICK AND THEN HE GOT UP OUT OF THE END ZONE AND RAN IT BACK FOR ABOUT 20, 30 YDS. AS WELL. AND THEN WE GET JOE FLACCO WITH IT AGAIN TO TRY AND TIE OR TAKE THE LEAD. 4TH DOWN. 4TH DOWN THEY GO FOR IT. INSTEAD OF TRYING A 50 YD. F.G. MAYBE THEY KNEW…MAYBE THEY KNEW. IT HAD TO BE THE WIND WHEN YOU CONSIDER BECAUSE THEY CHECK TO SEE WHICH SIDE OF THE BALL THERE. AND HERE’S ANOTHER KEY SITUATION. TOM BRADY CAN END THE GAME WITH A 1ST DOWN. THAT’S A BAD PLAY ON SO MANY FRONTS. AARON HERNANDEZ DOES NOT GET PAST THE 1ST DOWN MARKER AND TOM BRADY THREW THE BALL ON HIS INSIDE SHOULDER. AND WHO MADE THE PLAY? ED REED. WELL FLACCO GETS IT ONE MORE CHANCE. TOUCHDOWN COULD WIN THE GAME. F.G. TO TIE IT. ANQUAN BOLDEN FROM FLACCO INTO F.G. TERRITORY. ANQUAN BOLDEN ON JULIAN EDELMAN, A MISMATCH FAVORITE ON THE RAVEN. HERE’S THE LEE EVANS PLAY, AND THERE’S STERLING MOORE. GAME OVER! THERE’S STERLING MOORE RIGHT THERE. THE GUY THAT MISSED THE TACKLE THAT ALLOWED TORY SMITH TO GET IN. BUT YOU’RE RIGHT JAIME. AND THERE IS THE MISS. IT WAS CUNDIFF’S WORSE MISS OF THE YEAR REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU SHOULD’VE SEEN BILL …WHEN THAT F.G. WAS MISSED, BILL BELICHICK WAS STANDING IN UTTER DISBELIEF; AND PEOPLE AROUND HIM WERE CELEBRATING AND HE WAS STILL STARING KIND OF BLANKLY AND COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT HE HAD SEEN.

01:15:00 – NEW YORK GIANTS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

IN S.F. THAT, OBVIOUSLY, WAS A DIFFERENT WEATHER DAY THAT WE TOOK THAT PICTURE OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. CHILLY, RAINY, WET, SOGGY. ALEX SMITH, JIM HARBAUGH, A SHOCKING NFC CHAMP. GAME HOST AGAINST THE NEW YORK GIANTS, THE 4 SEED, THE NFC EAST 9-7 GIANTS TRY TO GET BACK TO THE S.B. IN 2007. ELI MANNING MIDWAY THROUGH 1ST QUARTER. BALL IS LOOSE. THE DEF. LINE OF S.F., AS EXPECTED, SHOWED UP AND BALL OUT. RAY MCDONALD KNOCKED IT LOOSE. KAREM MCKENZIE RECOVERS. FOR THE GIANTS TO AVERT DISASTER, THEY PUNTED THE BALL AWAY. ALEX SMITH GOING FOR VERNON DAVIS DEEP. WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THIS BEFORE? VERNON DAVIS.. (JUST LAST WEEK) IS GONE! 73 YDS. BIG PLAY BY THE NINERS. STRIKE FIRST. HOWEVER, THIS IS A 15 YD. PENALTY. THIS IS A NO-NO. I MADE THE MISTAKE ON GAME DAY MORNING SAYING THAT ANTRELLE ROLLE CAN COVER THIS GUY. HE UNDERESTIMATED HIS SPEED AS WELL AS HIS ABILITY TO RUN. HE STAYED INBOUNDS THERE. YES HE DID. AS ALL SCORING PLAYS ARE REVIEWED, THE GIANTS GOT QUALITY FIELD POSITION BECAUSE OF THE 15 YD. PENALTY AND ASSUMED POSSESSION. 3 & 3RD DOWN. A COMPLETED HAKEM NICKS. HE IS INJURED ON THE PLAY. YEP. WENT DOWN ON THAT BALL RICH. WANTED TO MAKE SURE HE GETS HIS ARMS UP UNDER IT. NOT HAD IT TOUCH THE GROUND. SHOULDER HITS THE GROUND FIRST. AND HE WENT TO THE L.R. TO TAKE AN ASPIRIN. 5 PLAYS LATER, 3RD AND SHORT. ELI MANNING LOOKING FOR MANNINGHAM. IT’S INCOMPLETE. SO TOM COUGHLIN, IT’S HIS FIRST BIG DECISION OF THE DAY. IT’S 4TH & 1 ON THE 49ERS 34, ON A WET FIELD, COLD DAY. DECIDES TO GO FOR IT. HE DID. I TRIED TO CALL THOSE PHONES ON THE SIDELINE TO LET BRANDON JACOBS KNOW THAT HE’S 6’4, 270. NO ONE ANSWERED. HE SAID HE DIDN’T ANSWER. THAT’S THE BEST RUSH DEFENSE IN THE NFL. MANNING PLEASE. THAT’S A TIPTOE PRAYER. THE 15 YD. PENALTY DOESN’T COST HIM. HOWEVER, KYLE WILLIAMS CAN’T CONTROL THIS BALL AND THAT WAS WHAT MY ENGLISH TEACHER WOULD CALL A HARBINGER, AS THE 49ERS TRY A TRICK PLAY ON OSI UMENYIORA; AND THE BALL GOES SOMEHOW THROUGH OSI UMENYIORA AND KYLE WILLIAMS AVERTS DISASTER THAT ISN’T A HARBINGER. BUT LET’S JUST SET THE STAGE WITH WHAT WE SAW IN THE 2ND QUARTER. THIS IS ELI MANNING TO VICTOR CRUZ! WIDE OPEN. NICE CONNECTION RIGHT THERE FOR 36 YDS. THE 49ERS 33. 3 PLAYS LATER, 6TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. IT IS TIME FOR ELI MANNING TO LOOK FOR VICTOR CRUZ AGAIN OVER THE MIDDLE. MOVE THE CHAINS. NOW INSIDE THE RED ZONE. 4 PLAYS LATER IT’S THE 10TH PLAY OF THIS SET OF DOWNS. 2ND & GOAL FROM THE 6. ELI MANNING FINDS THE 1 T.E. NOBODY THOUGHT WOULD BE ABLE TO COME TO…BEAR PASCO! FIRST TD. OF THE SEASON FOR BEAR PASCO! WHO? PASCO! THAT WAS OUR CHEF’S NAME AT FLORIDA STATE, PASCO. SO IT’S TIED AT 7. VICTOR CRUZ, A BUCK 30 LEFT IN THE HALF. WHAT A 1ST HALF FOR VICTOR CRUZ. ELI KEPT FIRING, OFTEN TO HIS PATERSON N.J. PRODUCT. LEFT SIDE OF THE FIELD RIGHT THERE WITH A MINUTE 20 TO GO IN THE HALF. 15 YD. GAIN. 2 PLAYS LATER, VICTOR CRUZ AGAIN. 10 TO 80 FOR A 1ST DOWN INSIDE THE 40 YD. LINE NOW. VERY FEW PEOPLE WORK THE MIDDLE OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD LIKE VICTOR CRUZ. 01:18:30 – WHY NOT GO BACK TO MAGEE, RIGHT? WHY NOT? IT WAS WORKING. THROW IT TO HIM! MANNING, CRUZ, WHAT A CATCH! CAN’T WAIT. CAN’T WAIT TILL S.B. AND I SEE VICTOR CRUZ AND WES WELKER GOING ONE-ON-ONE IN A SLIDE. WE’LL SEE WHO… I CAN’T WAIT FOR GRONKOWSKI AND BEAR PASCO! 8 RECEIVING YARDS, A BUCK 25 IN THE FIRST HALF FOR CRUZ. LAWRENCE TYNES KICKED A F.G. TO GIVE THE GIANTS A 10-7 LEAD AT HALF. THAT WAS YOUR SCORE MIDWAY THROUGH THE 3RD. ALEX SMITH DUMPS THIS ONE OFF TO FRANK GORE. INSIDE THE 30. 28 YD. SCAMPER AND THEY WOULD SAY. NEXT PLAY ALEX SMITH TO WHY NOT? VERNON DAVIS AGAIN! WILL SOMEBODY COVER THIS GUY?! YOU GOT HIM IN THE COVERAGE THAT YOU WANTED. FLATTED UP ALL DAY LONG. YOU CAN’T DEAL WITH IT. 15-10, 49ERS. WHAT IS THAT? I DON’T KNOW BUT THAT’S AN OLD PLAY. DOESN’T MATTER. IT’S A TOUCHDOWN. IT’S 14-10. WHAT WAS THAT? THE NINERS DEFENSE BEGAN TO ASSERT ITSELF IN THE 3RD QUARTER WHERE MCDONALD’S SENDING ELI TO THE TURF AGAIN. THAT ON 3RD DOWN FORCING THE GIANTS TO PUNT. NEXT POSSESSION AFTER A NINERS 3 & OUT, IT’S 3RD & 5. MANNING LOOKING TO HAKIM NICKS FROM THE 88 CLUB; AND NICKS IS ALMOST PICKED. OH MAN. DESEAN GOLDSTEIN AND TERRELL BROWN COLLIDE. BROWN TOOK THE BRUNT OF IT. HE .. ON THE END ROUTE. HE HAS TO FINISH THAT END ROUTE. HE CANNOT STOP. HE HAS TO GET ACROSS THE FACE AND MAKE SURE HE GETS … HE DID THE SAME THING THE LAST TIME THESE 2 TEAMS PLAYED. BROWN WOULD GET UP AND LEAVE THE FIELD WHICH WAS A RELIEF BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE TURF FOR QUITE SOMETIME. GIANTS FORCED TO PUNT. AGAIN, ALEX SMITH LAST PLAY THE 3RD QUARTER TO DELANEY WALKER ON 1ST DOWN. HE TRIED TO BEAT HIM DOWN, DIDN’T HE? FLACCO’S THROWN. LOOKOUT CHRIS CANTY. CANTY COMES AND WAITS AS ROCKY BERNARD GETS KNOCKED… HOLD ON GUYS,. CANTY IS CALLED FOR THE 15 YDS. EVEN THOUGH BERNARD IS BLEEDING PROFUSELY LIKE A STUFFED PIG FROM THE MOUTH! 4TH QUARTER WE GO. 01:20:34 – FRESH SET OF DOWNS FOR THE 49ERS. 3RD & SHORT ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE FIELD. IT’S ANTHONY DIXON SHORT OF THE LINE. A GAIN, JUSTIN SMITH AND ISAAC … 2 DEFENDERS. WE’VE SEEN SOME GREAT DEFENSE TODAY. NEXT GIANTS POSSESSION AFTER ANOTHER 3 & OUT. 11 MINS. TO GO. KYLE WILLIAMS ON THE PUNT. PETER, PETER, PETER, GET AWAY FROM IT! DEVIN THOMAS, WHY DOES HE PICK UP THE BALL?! YOU CAN’T ADVANCE A MUFF EVEN IF IT IS A MUFF. 4TH PLAY. IT HIT KYLE WILLIAMS ANYWAY. BUT AFTER FURTHER REVIEW THIS BALL SURE HIT KYLE WILLIAMS ON THE KNEE. IT IS GIANTS FOOTBALL. YEA, THAT’S A MUFF. A HUGE BREAK BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE NINERS DEFENSE WAS HOLDING THAT GIANTS OFFENSE DOWN IN THE 3RD QUARTER. HE’S LOOKING AROUND LIKE THERE’S NO TV THERE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? EVEN IF THERE WERE NO TV’S THERE. ELI MANNING, KING OF THE 4TH QUARTER. A SHORT FIELD AND HE FINDS VICTOR CRUZ DOWN TO THE 10 YD. ACTUALLY, HAKIM NICKS DOWN TO THE 10 YD. LINE. I THINK JOE BUCK MADE A MISTAKE. 3 PLAYS LATER, IT’S MANNING TO MARIO MANNINGHAM! 1ST PLAY OF THE …1ST CATCH OF THE DAY FOR MARIO MANNINGHAM, AND HE MAKES IT COUNT! GIANTS TAKE THE 17-14 LEAD. ENSUING KICKOFF. KYLE WILLIAMS IS BACK THERE AGAIN. TED GINN WAS INACTIVE WITH A KNEE INJURY AND WILLIAMS TRIES TO MAKE UP FOR THE MUFF WITH A NICE NIFTY 40 YD. RETURN. THIS IS WHERE YOU MAKE US FORGET ABOUT YOUR BOO-BOO. ALEX SMITH FIRST PLAY FROM THE NINERS’ SET OF DOWNS AFTER A 5 YD. PENALTY MOVED IT TO MIDFIELD. PICKING IT UP. PUTTING IT DOWN. ALEX SMITH…MAN COVERAGE. NOBODY’S ON THE QB. GREAT JOB BY ALEX SMITH. AND HE CAN RUN COACH. NEXT PLAY JIM HARBAUGH DIAL A SLOT. THIS PUPPY, KENDELL… THIS WAS A NICE PLAY RIGHT HERE. A LITTLE MISDIRECTION STARTED OFF TO THE RIGHT. FOLLOW THIS BIG GUYS AROUND THE LEFT CORNER. DOWN TO THE GIANTS 10 YD. LINE, AN 18 YD. GAIN. 3 PLAYS LATER IT’S 3RD & 5 FROM THAT 10 YD. LINE. WHAT WILL ALEX SMITH DO? HE COMPLETES HIS FIRST PASS TO A WIDE RECEIVER WITH 6 MINS. TO GO IN REGULATION. IT’S TO MICHAEL CRABTREE. IT’S ONLY FOR 3 YDS. THAT SETS UP DAVID AKERS FOR A GAME-TYING F.G., AND THE PRO BOWLER BOOTS IT THROUGH FOR JIM HARBAUGH. TIES THE GAME AT 17. HE WANTED A TIMEOUT BEFORE THAT PLAY. DID NOT GET IT. GIANTS WITH THE GAME TIED AT 17, LESS THAN 5 MINS. TO GO. ELI MANNING AND TRAVIS BECKAM BLOWED UP BY PATRICK WILLIS ON 3RD DOWN. THESE LINEBACKERS HAVE THE BEST, MOST PHYSICAL LINE BACKING CORE IN THE GAME. BACK COMES ALEX SMITH NOW. WHAT CAN HE DO WITH IT WITH 3:189 TO GO? ALEX SMITH ON 3RD DOWN. DOWN HE GOES. RUSHED. A 4 MAN PRESSURE. THEY GOT HIM DOWN HERE IN THE 4TH QUARTER. MATHIAS KIWANUCKA TAKES HIM DOWN. THE NINERS, TO THIS POINT, HAVE NOT CONVERTED A 3RD DOWN IN THE GAME. WHAT WOULD THE GIANTS DO NOW? IT’S PATRICK WILLIS BUSING THROUGH TAKING ELI MANNING DOWN. ALL THE DEFENSES MAKING SOME BIG PLAYS WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE; A TRIP TO THE S.B. ON THE LINE. IT’S LIKE THE OLD-FASHIONED NFL TODAY. 2-1/2 MINS. TO GO. MANNING, ON 2ND & LONG, DUMPS IT OUT TO AHMAD BRADSHAW. WHISTLE BLOWS. STOPPED HIS FORWARD PROGRESS JUST AS THE … RIPS THE BALL LOOSE. YOU CANNOT CHALLENGE THIS AS THE REFS BLEW THE BALL BAD. THEY BLEW IT DEAD. NO FUMBLE. FORWARD PROGRESS AND THERE IS NO CHANGE OF POSSESSION. JIM HARBAUGH CANNOT BELIEVE THE RULING. HE CANNOT CHALLENGE IT. NEXT PLAY, 3RD & 15. MANNING LOOKING FOR HIS HOT RECEIVER OF THE DAY, VICTOR CRUZ…CAN’T COME UP WITH THE TIMING…CATCH DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. GIANTS HAVE TO PUNT IT AWAY. 1:55 TO GO. WHAT WOULD ALEX SMITH DO WITH THIS FOOTBALL NOW, WITH A CHANCE TO GO TO THE S.B. FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD. MINUTE 33 TO GO. SMITH LOOKING FOR DELANEY WALKER. QUICKLY…MAN TO MAN COVERAGE LAST WEEK WHEN HE WAS WIDE OPEN. I’M NOT ALLOWING HIM TO PLAY MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE. LAST WEEK AGAINST THE SAINTS WE WERE SEEING LEAD CHANGES LIKE THIS, AND NOW WE’RE JUST SEEING CHANGES OF POSSESSIONS WITH HARDLY ANY 1ST DOWNS GANG. ELI MANNING GETS RID OF THE BALL JUST IN TIME! AHMAD BRADSHAW STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS JUST SHY OF MIDFIELD WITH A MIN. 5 TO GO. AND FEARLESS QB. AND 2 TIMEOUTS TO GO! EYES DOWNFIELD. FINDS A SCRABBLE…DOWN THE SIDELINE TO AHMAD BRADSHAW. HE HAD A WHOLE TEAM. ANTICIPATION BY ELI IS INCREDIBLE RIGHT THERE GUYS. MINUTE, 5 TO GO. 45 SECS. TO GO. ELI MANNING AVOIDS THE RUSH. PIROUETTES. DUMPS IT OFF TO AHMAD BRADSHAW. MANNING GOT RID OF IT JUST AS ALDEN SMITH … IN THE TURF. WITH HIS CHINSTRAP AROUND HIS NOSTRILS HE CALLS A TIMEOUT. GOOD WHERE WITH ALL. GREAT WHERE WITH ALL. THAT HURT. 32 SECS. TO GO. CAN ELI MANNING SETUP LAWRENCE TYNES FOR THE GAME WINNER? IT’S… WHOA!! CAUGHT BY VICTOR CRUZ! ALMOST A CIRCUS CATCH. THE GIANTS DID HAVE A TIMEOUT IF CRUZ COULD’VE CAUGHT THE BALL TO SET TYNES UP. INSTEAD THEY PUNT THE BALL AWAY AND WE GO INTO OVERTIME. 01:25:34 – AGAIN, THE NEW SET OF RULES IN O.T. THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE LAST YEAR. THE BOTTOM LINE IS, A F.G. CANNOT END THE GAME BY THE TEAM THAT WINS THE COIN TOSS. IF THAT HAPPENS THE OTHER TEAM HAS A CHANCE TO ANSWER WITH A F.G. TO SEND IT INTO SUDDEN DEATH O.T. FROM THAT POINT ON. IF THE TEAM THAT GETS THE COIN TOSS, GETS A TD. IN THE OPENING POSSESSION AS TIM TEBOW SHOWED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, THE GAME IS OVER. IF THAT TEAM DOES NOT GET A TD. OFF THE COIN TOSS, THE OTHER TEAM THEN CAN KICK A F.G. AND END THE GAME IN SUDDEN DEATH O.T. THAT IS A VERY LONG-WINDED RESPONSE BUT IT WAS STILL 5 MINS. SHORTER THAN ED HOCULI. LET’S GO TO O.T. GIANTS GET THE BALL FIRST. I DON’T EVEN HAVE A SHOT SHEET. ELI MANNING …HE FLINGS IT UP IN THE AIR.. OH! ALMOST INTERCEPTED! ..TURNS ON THE DAY. THE 49ERS SECONDARY RAN INTO EACH OTHER, COLLIDED, AND IT SHOULD’VE BEEN INTERCEPTED. ALMOST PICKED OFF BY CARLOS RODGERS. ELI MANNING ON 3RD & 6 THROWS IT OVER THE MIDDLE. IT’S INCOMPLETE SO THE GIANTS DO NOT GET ANYTHING OUT OF THEIR FIRST SET OF DOWNS. IT’S NOW OFFICIALLY LIKE SUDDEN DEATH O.T. ALRIGHT. ALL JIM HARBAUGH NEEDS TO SETUP IS PRO BOWL KICKER DAVID AKERS FOR A F.G. AND THEY GO TO THE S.B. BUT ALEX SMITH COULDN’T CONVERT ON THE 3RD DOWN EVEN THOUGH HE CAME AWFULLY CLOSE. THAT WAS ALMOST THAT FIRST 3RD DOWN CONVERSION OF THE GAME. IT’S TO VERNON DAVIS BUT IT’S SHORT OF THE 1ST DOWN. THEY GOTTA PUNT THE BALL BACK AND ELI MANNING NOW HAS IT 3RD & SHORT FROM THE 50 YD. LINE. RELENTLESS PASS RUSH BY BOTH TEAMS ALL NIGHT. JUSTIN SMITH TAKES IT DOWN. MANNING IS SACKED FOR THE 6TH TIME OF THE DAY, AND WE’RE GONNA SHOW YOU THE PUNT TO KYLE WILLIAMS WHO’S ALREADY MUFFED ONE. HE GRABS THIS ONE AND HE COUGHS IT UP! THE SAME PLAYER WHO RECOVERED THE MUFF RECOVERS THE FUMBLE. IT’S DEVIN THOMAS. ALSO, WOULD YOU BELIEVE THE GIANTS, ON A SPECIAL TEAMS GAFF BY THE SAME PLAYER, FILLING IN FOR TED GINN, KYLE WILLIAMS, SETS THE GIANTS UP FOR LAWRENCE TYNES TO DO WHAT HE DID IN 2007. THAT IS COME OUT ON THE ROAD IN THE NFC CHAMP. GAME, IN O.T., AND PUT THE GIANTS INTO THE S.B. AGAINST THE N.E. PATRIOTS. SHADES OF 2007 AS AHMAD BRADSHAW TAKES THE FOOTBALL, GETS A 1ST DOWN, SETS UP THE GIANTS INSIDE THE 10. ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS SETUP LAWRENCE TYNES FOR THAT GAME-WINNING O.T. ENDING, S.B. SENDING F.G. FOR THE N.Y. GIANTS; AND HERE COMES LAWRENCE TYNES JUST LIKE IN G.B. HE’S SCOTTISH, AND IT’S NOT… HE GOT IT!! THE N.Y. GIANTS GO FOR 9-7. NFC EAST CHAMPS THROUGH THE ATLANTA FALCONS; THROUGH THE G.B. PACKERS; INTO THE NFC CHAMP. GAME AND THROUGH THE 49ERS INTO S.B. 46 TO ONCE AGAIN TAKE ON THE N.E. PATRIOTS. IT IS THE 6TH REMATCH IN THE HISTORY OF THE S.B. JIM HARBAUGH, LIKE HIS BROTHER, TAKEN DOWN ESSENTIALLY BY A SPECIAL TEAMS GAFF, AND VICTOR CRUZ IS CRUISING WITH THE REST OF THE N.Y. GIANTS INTO INDY WHERE, AGAIN, 2 WKS. FROM TODAY THEY WILL BE TAKING ON THE OTHER EASTERN DIVISION CHAMPION IN THE NFL, THE N.E. PATRIOTS. HOW ABOUT THEM APPLES?
