01:10:15 – CHICAGO BEARS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
185TH MEETING OF THE BEARS AND THE PACKERS. NO GREG JENNINGS FOR G.B. THE WIDEOUT IN STREET CLOTHES ON THE SIDELINE. JAY CUTLER A LITTLE COCKY GOING INTO THE GAME. WISHED THE PACKER’S D.B.’S GOOD LUCK COVERING HIS WIDEOUTS. AARON RODGERS UNDEFEATED AT LAMBEAU AGAINST THE BEARS FOR THIS 5TH HOME START AGAINST THEM DID NOT START SMOOTHLY.
A SACK THERE GUYS. COREY WOOTEN AND SHAY MCCLELLAN BOTH … AND HE LEAVES THE FIELD HOLDING HIS RIGHT ELBOW. GRAHAM __ WARMED UP BRIEFLY BUT RODGERS STAYED IN THE GAME. SACKED 4 TIMES IN THE 1ST HALF. JAY CUTLER ENDED UP ON HIS BACK 3 TIMES BEFORE THE BREAK. CLAY MATTHEWS, ONE OF HIS BIGGEST MOVES, GETS AROUND WELL. WE KNEW THIS WOULD BE A GOOD MATCHUP AND CLAY MATTHEWS LOOKS LIKE HE’S BACK DOING THE DANCE, SHOWING THE PIPES OFF SHAWN. WE SAW PLENTY OF THOSE PIPES ALL NIGHT LONG. SPEAKING OF PIPES, JAY CUTLER GIVING DEMARCUS WEBB AN EARFUL THERE ON THE SIDELINE. I’M GUESSING HE WILL NOT BE BUYING HIM DINNER THIS WEEK. THAT’S WHAT YOU GUYS DO, RIGHT? HOW ABOUT G.B. RUNNING THE BALL? IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TOOK A PAGE OUT OF MINN. VIKINGS PERCY HARVIN. GIVING THE GUY A BALL, FAST GUY. PUTTING HIM IN A SPACE AND LET HIM DO WHAT HE DOES. PLAY OF THE 1ST HALF, MAYBE THE GAME RIGHT HERE. YOU THINK THEY’RE KICKING BUT THEY’RE NOT. GUTSY CALL BY MIKE MCCARTHY. THIS IS A 4TH & 26? 4TH & 26. LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE TO READ TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE IF IT’S 4TH & 26 LOOK LIKE ALL THOSE GUYS WAS PUSHING DOWN THE LINEMEN GETTING READY TO PUT A LITTLE BIT PUSH BUT A 45 YD. F.G. AND LOOKING FOR THE LOW KICK. …AND A BACKUP T.E. THERE. PACKERS DO KICK A REAL F.G. BEFORE THE HALF AFTER A CUTLER PICK. THEY’RE UP 13-0 AT THE BREA. YEA, AND THE BEARS HAVE JUST 47 TOTAL YDS. IN THE 1ST HALF. THEY GOTTA GET MATT FORTE GOING HOWEVER AFTER CATCHING THIS PASS FOR 14 YDS. A SPRAINED RIGHT ANKLE IS THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS. HE WAS DONE FOR THE NIGHT TAKING A HUGE CHUNK OUT OF THEIR OFFENSE SHAWN. LOSING MATT FORTE MIGHT BE EVEN BIGGER THAN ACTUALLY LOSING THE GAME. YOU KNOW THE BEARS, THEY OPENED THEIR MOUTHS ALL WEEK ABOUT THOSE PACKERS D.B.’S. THEY COULDN’T GET BRANDON MARSHALL OPEN ALL GAME. FIRST TIME THEY TARGET HIM AND WHAT HAPPENS?! I GUESS THE BALL HIT HIM IN THE WRONG PLACE, CHRIS. IT HIT HIM IN THE HANDS. AFTER HAVING DOUBLE COVERAGE THE WHOLE GAME HE’S WIDE OPEN. THE CORNERBACK FALLS DOWN. ARE YOU KIDDING, HE COULDN’T HAVE PUT IT IN A BETTER PLACE THAN THAT? AND TO SETTLE FOR A F.G. THERE. THEY TARGETED HIM 15 TIMES LAST WEEK IN THAT WIN OVER INDY. NEXT BEARS POSSESSION CUTLER DANCING AND HE IS HIT BY THE VETERAN, THE FORMER DEF. PLAYER OF THE YEAR, CHARLES WOODSON. 55TH CAREER INT. ONLY ED REED’S 58. MORE AMONG ACTIVE PLAYERS. HE CAN BALL, WILLY. YEA, HE CAN BALL. YOU KNOW WHAT, THE RECEIVER HAS TO HELP HIM OUT A LITTLE BIT. HE HAS TO COME TO THE BALL AND GIVE HIS QB A CHANCE. FIGHT FOR IT. BUT ANYTIME YOU THROW AT THAT GUY, YOUR CHANCES ARE BAD. ENSUING PACK POSSESSION. RODGERS TO JAMES JONES AND, SHAWN, YOU GOTTA HANG ONTO THIS! YEA, ANOTHER DROPPED BALL AND, REALLY, DROPPED PASSES WAS THE THEME OF THE NIGHT. IT WAS A TOUGH THROW. IT WAS HIGH BUT THAT’S SOMETHING THAT YOU GOTTA COME DOWN AND MAKE IF YOU WANT TO WIN THAT DIVISION. HE’S GOTTA MAKE THOSE CATCHES. HE’S GOTTA MAKE THOSE CATCHES. WELL JERMICHAEL FINLEY HAD 4 CATCHES ON THE NIGHT BUT, WILLY, WHAT A GREAT JOB HERE AS CHARLES TILLMAN JOINS THE S.W.A.T. TEAM. AND HE WAS A GUY THAT WAS QUESTIONABLE BEFORE THE GAME. HE CAME UP, TEXTBOOK TACKLED. PUT HIS HEAD ACROSS THE CHEST AND SWATTED. KNOCKED THE BALL OUT. PHENOM. 4TH QUARTER. BRANDON MARSHALL STILL CATCHLESS AT THIS POINT. GOING DEEP FOR HIM AND HOW ABOUT TREMONT WILLIAMS? ONE OF HIS 2 INT’S ON THE NIGHT. HE’S TURNING INTO ONE OF THE BEST D.B.’S IN THE GAME, WILLY. WELL TREMONT WILLIAMS HAD HIM MAN-TO-MAN ALL NIGHT WITH THE SAFETY OVER THE TOP PLAYING THE DRILL TECHNIQUE. AND AFTER JAY CUTLER TOOK THE BIG HIT, UNDERTHREW THE BALL, CAUGHT IT AT ITS HIGH POINT. SO WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU GO FOR THE KILL. RODGERS TO DONALD DRIVER’S ONLY CATCH OF THE DAY. 60TH CAREER TD. CATCH FOR HIM. ONLY DON HUDSON AND OUR STERLING SHARPE HAVE MORE IN PACKERS LORE. HE WON DANCING WITH THE STARS. WHY NOT? THEN, HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE? YOU GO DO THE MOOCH! GET IN THERE! I THINK HE GOT UP A LITTLE HIGHER THAN MOOCH THOUGH. YEA, A LITTLE SMOOTHER. BETTER VERTICAL. A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO 23-10 IS YOUR FINAL. THIS ONE, HOWEVER, ALL ABOUT THE PACKERS D. 168 TOTAL YDS. FOR THE BEARS, 7 SACKS, 4 INT’S FOR G.B. WHICH GOT A LITTLE INSPIRATION IN THE STRANGEST PLACE.

BENGALS AND THE BROWNS.. BRANDON WEEDEN SAYING I WILL NOT THROW 4 PICKS TODAY AND ANDY DALTON SAYING, “THAT’S NOT RAY LEWIS LOOKING ACROSS FROM ME.” FIRST QUARTER NO SCORE. 4TH & 13 . ADAM JONES ON THE PUNT RETURN. MAKES 7 PLAYERS MISS INCLUDING INKY, BINKY, BLINKY & CLYDE. THERE HE GOES INTO THE END ZONE. BENGALS LEAD IT 7-0. OH, LET EVERYBODY KNOW. GO DOWN THE FIRE ESCAPE. GO DOWN THE FIRE POST. THERE YOU GO. VERY NICE. 2ND QUARTER BENGALS UP 7-3. ANDY DALTON LOOKING FOR A.J. GREENE. DO MY BEST JOHN FACENDA. LOOKING FOR AN OLD FRIEND IN A.J. GREENE WHO GOES IN 10 YDS.

CLEVELAND NOW DOWN JUST 14-10. NEXT BROWNS POSSESSION. BENGALS LEAD 17-10. BRANDON WEEDEN THROWS TO CHRIS OBINIAH. NOTHING BUT GREEN GRASS IN FRONT OF HIM. COUGHS IT UP. TERRANCE NEWMAN CAUSES THE FUMBLE. MICHAEL JOHNSON IN HIS GOLD SHOES RECOVERS. BENGALS, THOUGH, WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON THE TURNOVER. THEY WOULD PUNT. 3RD QUARTER NOW. BENGALS UP 17-10. 1ST POSSESSION ANDY DALTON LOOKING DEEP, AND WHEN YOU LOOK DEEP YOU LOOK FOR BRANDON TATE. ALONG THE RIGHT SIDELINE, ONE-ON-ONE COVERAGE. 44 YD. TD. PLAY WOULD BE REVIEWED. IT WOULD STAND UP. BENGALS LEAD IT 24-10. 2 POSSESSIONS LATER SAME SCORE, 3RD & 9. BENGALS BALL ON THEIR OWN 35. DALTON PASS FOR A.J. GREENE. TIPPED BY DIMITRI PATTERSON. INTERCEPTED BY D’QUELL JACKSON. BROWNS TAKE OVER ON THEIR OWN 47. UH, OH. COULD THIS BE A BIG BROWNS COMEBACK? 5 PLAYS LATER BRANDON WEEDEN WITH A SHORT PASS TO TRENT RICHARDSON. HERE, YOU TAKE IT TRENT. GO. IT LOOKS LIKE A LONG TD. PASS IN MY STAT COLUMN. LOOK AT HIM MAKE 4 DEFENDERS MISS. THIS IS WHY HE’S A FRANCHISE PLAYER. 145 YDS. AND 2 TDS. FOR TRENT RICHARDSON. WATCH THIS AGAIN, AND 1 GUY MISSES, AND 2, AND 3…AND 4. 4TH QUARTER NOW, 24-17 BENGALS. BENGALS BALL 3RD & 10 ON THE 50. ANDY DALTON LOOKING FOR ANDREW HAWKINS. WHO? ANDREW HAWK…? WHO? ANDREW HAWKINS HAD A NICE GAME WEEK 1 AGAINST THE RAVENS. EVEN A BIGGER PLAY HERE. LOOK AT HIM CATCH THE PASS ON A BROKEN PLAY. RUNS AROUND BROWNS DEFENDERS WHO CAN’T STAY UP. 50 YDS. LATER HE IS IN THE END ZONE. BENGALS EXTEND THEIR LEAD 31-17. DALTON WOULD FINISH WITH 318 AND 3 TDS. NEXT BROWNS POSSESSION, 8TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. BRANDON WEEDEN LOOKING FOR GREG LITTLE. THERE’S GREG LITTLE WHO HAS BEEN MISSING FOR THE FIRST WEEK PLUS HERE. BENGALS NOW LEAD IT 31-24. BROWNS NOW DOWN 34-27, 20 SECS. LEFT. HERE COMES THE ONSIDE KICK. IT’S LIKE A BIT PUTT IN GOLF, AND A.J. GREENE RECOVERS. BENGALS WIN IT BY THE FINAL OF 34-27. THEY EVEN THEIR RECORD AT 1-1, AND FOR THE BROWNS, HEY, AT LEAST YOU KNOW TRENT RICHARDSON IS A STUD.
01:18:10 – BALTIMORE RAVENS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
GOOD PLACE IN PHILADELPHIA. RAVENS AND THE EAGLES. JOE FLACCO LOOKING TO STAY HOT. HE’S YOUR WEEK 1 OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK AND MICHAEL VICK TRYING TO BOUNCE BACK. YEA, THEY WON IN CLEVELAND BUT… YEA BUT HE THREW 4 … HE WASN’T SURE WEEK 1 OFF. PLAYER OF THE YEAR WITH 4 PICKS. 3 PICKS, GOOD SHOT TO BRENT CELEK ON THE 3RD PLAY OF THAT DRIVE. 4TH & 1 FOR THE EAGLES. THEY CARRIED IT 10 TIMES TODAY, WAS SACKED TWICE AND HIT A NUMBER OF OTHER TIMES. I’M SORRY, I LOVE THE WAY MIKE VICK PLAYS. AS EXCITING AS HE IS, THERE’S NO WAY HE CAN STAY HEALTHY FOR A FULL 16 PLAYING LIKE THIS. ALL TIED AT 7. ANOTHER WAY TO TURN THE FOOTBALL OVER. VICK AND BRYCE BROWN CAN’T GET THE EXCHANGE DOWN AND RECOVERED BY ALBERT MCCLELLAN AT THE EAGLES 30. THAT’S JUST INEXCUSABLE, AND THAT’S SOMETHING THAT DATES BACK TO TRAINING CAMP. YES. HANDING THE BALL OFF. EXCHANGE. THAT MEANS YOU DON’T GET THE FOOTBALL A WHOLE LOT GOING FORWARD. RAVENS TAKE ADVANTAGE. HOW ABOUT THAT THROW OFF HIS BACK FOOT. JOE FLACCO RIGHT WHERE HE WANTED TO PUT IT TO JACOBY JONES. YOU KNOW THE ACCURACY OF THE BACK FOOT AND THEY’RE BEATING THE GUY AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. SOME STUTTER GO HERE. AND WHAT WAS THAT DANCE AT THE END? I DON’T KNOW. I THINK WHAT WE FOUND OUT THE FIRST 2 WKS. OF THE SEASON IS IT’S GOING TO BE THE BALT. RAVENS OFFENSE LEADING THE WAY, AND THE DEFENSE IS PLAYING 2ND FIDDLE. LESEAN MCCOY UP THE MIDDLE. HIT BY LADARIUS WEBB. FUMBLE RECOVERED BY RAY LEWIS. DID I JUST SAY THAT? MAYBE THE DEFENSE ISN’T…I DIDN’T SAY THEY WERE BAD. I JUST THINK THE OFFENSE IS LEADING THE WAY. THAT’S ALL I WAS SAYING. NO RETRACTION. NONE. 3RD QUARTER. THE RAVENS GETTING IN ON THE GIVING THE FOOTBALL TO … FLACCO INTENDED FOR DENNIS __. INTERCEPTED BY D’MICO RYANS. NICE PLAY BY D’MICO. GREAT … ACQUISITION TALK ABOUT FOR THIS DEFENSE. PHILA.’S GONNA NEED HIM TO PLAY BIG ALL YEAR LONG. EAGLES TAKE ADVANTAGE. 3RD DOWN & 3 AT THE RAVENS 23. TH PLAY OF THIS DRIVE. VICK LOOKING DEEP TO JEREMY MACLAN. EVENTUALLY GONNA LET IT GO. WIDE OPEN. 23 YD. TD. EAGLES TRAIL 17-14. WHAT THAT DOES, WHENEVER YOU GET A MICHAEL VICK ON THE PERIMETER, IT DRAWS YOUR DEFENSE UP. NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A RECEIVER WIDE OPEN IN THE BACKFIELD. ALSO HAS A PRETTY GOOD SIDE END TO BRETT CELEK. WE’VE SEEN HIM ONCE HERE IN THIS PACKAGE. NICE SIDE FROM MICHAEL VICK UNDERNEATH TO CELEK. HURDLES ED REED. WE CALLED THAT. SAW IT COMING. SAW IT COMING ABOUT 5 YDS. BEFORE. WHEN IT HAPPENED PAUL SAID, “WATCH THIS. A HURDLE WAS COMING,” AND WOULDN’T YOU KNOW CELEK HURDLES ED REED. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP ED. THAT’S THE FIRST TIME.. IN 3 YRS. THEN PAUL WAS INSUFFERABLE. HE WAS SO HIGH ON HIMSELF AFTER THAT CALL. 17-17 AFTER A F.G. VICK TO BRENT CELEK. PICKED OFF BY RAY LEWIS. THAT’S AN OPPORTUNISTIC GUY. ED REED ALWAYS ON THE FOOTBALL. HE CREEPING UP CLOSER AND CLOSER TO ME IN PICKS. COVERED BY RAY LEWIS. CONSISTENTLY FOR 10 YRS. IT’S NOT LUCK. IT’S JUST BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. YES IT IS. FLACCO WANTS JACOBY JONES DOWN THE SIDELINES. 25 YD. SCORE. THAT MIGHT BE THE BEST PASS THAT JOE FLACCO MAKES. HIM ON THE OUTSIDE THROWING A FADE. HE HAS THE MOST ACCURACY I’VE SEEN OUT OF ANY BALL HE THROWS. HE’S THE MOST ACCURATE ON THESE THROWS. AND JACOBY CREATES A LITTLE SPACE WITH A LITTLE SHOVE, AND THAT ONE’S COMING BACK. PASS INTERFERENCE. THEY CALLED PASS INTERFERENCE. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! DID THEY REALLY CALL THAT? THEY DID. KEEP THESE REPLACEMENT OFFICIALS AROUND. WELL THEY CALLED THIS A FUMBLE. THEY CALLED THIS INITIALLY A FUMBLE. WELL, IT’S GIVE AND TAKE. YOU CAN ONLY EXPECT THEM TO BE GOOD SO MANY TIMES. AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A PASS ATTEMPT. THE EAGLES ARE GOING TO GET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. NEXT PLAY 3RD & GOAL AT THE 1. VICK KEEPS IT HIMSELF RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE. PHILA. TD. EAGLES LEADING BY 1. WELL, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CALL A QB SNEAK THERE OR A QB DRAWL; AND YOU WANT HIM RUNNING THE FOOTBALL IN THOSE SITUATIONS BUT YOU HAVE TO PROTECT HIM. 4TH DOWN & 2 FOR JOE FLACCO. INCOMPLETE. WOW. TURNOVER ON TOWNS AND THE EAGLES COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN IT. BIG WIN. AND THEY WIN DESPITE TURNING THE FOOTBALL OVER 4 TIMES. HOW MANY RECEPTIONS LAST WEEK. YOU CAN’T KEEP LIVING LIKE THAT. TURNING THE FOOTBALL OVER. IT’S GONNA CATCH UP WITH YOU SOONER OR LATER. PHILA. 1 PT. WIN OVER BALT.

01:26:52 – HOUSTON TEXANS @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
TEXANS IN JACKSONVILLE COMING OFF A WEEK 1 VICTORY AT HOME AGAINST MIAMI. DON’T TRY THAT AT HOME PEOPLE. …DOING THAT. STOP THAT. BRIAN CUSHING, STOP THAT. MATT SCHAUB’S FAVORITE RECEIVER ON THE DAY WAS ACTUALLY A T.E., OWEN DANIELS OPEN FOR A 1ST DOWN. OH HE LOVES HIS QB! YEA HE DOES. HE GOT HE WRONG T.E. BUT THE PASSING GAME IN HOUSTON GUYS IS REALLY A SUPPLEMENT TO THE RUNNING GAME. BEN TATE, DELAYED DRAW. 26 YARDS. 2 HEADED MONSTER. THE BEST BACK IN THE LEAGUE IF YOU ASK ME, ARIAN FOSTER. NOW HE’S COUPLED WITH A GREAT BACKUP IN BEN TATE WHO CAN DO THE JOB HIMSELF. WELL LET’S CONTINUE THE SUPERLATIVES. TEXANS ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE AFC. I AGREE. WHEN THEY STAY HEALTHY. YES ,THAT’S ALWAYS THE CASE BUT THAT CAN BE SAID FOR EVERYONE. AND WHEN THEY STAY INBOUNDS. IT WAS RULED THAT HE STEPPED OUT. I SEE A LITTLE GREEN. RULED A TOUCHDOWN. HOUSTON ON TOP 10-0. THE BEST TEAM IN THE AFC ACCORDING TO TOM WADDLE. YOU HEARD IT HERE. BACK TO THE GROUND. THE BEST R.B. ARIAN FOSTER, TOUCHDOWN. YES. GREAT JOB IN THE CUTBACK LANE. IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT’S THE BEST ONE, 1, 2 PUNCH IN THE LEAGUE. AND IT ALSO IS GREAT BECAUSE THE SCHEME FITS WHAT THEY DO THE BEST. YEP. 10-0 NOW. SCHAUB FINDS ARIAN FOSTER. CAN ALSO CATCH IT OUT OF THE BACKFIELD. YOU KNOW WHAT, SCHAUB HAS SUCH A GREAT ABILITY TO SEE THE FIELD. HE COMPLETED PASSES TO 8 DIFFERENT RECEIVERS. HE DOESN’T TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS. 2 GREAT RB’S. WE’VE ALREADY SEEN BEN TATE WITH 1 TD. NOW HE HAS 2 AND HOUSTON MAKING IT LOOK EASY, 17-ZIP. AND ONCE AGAIN WE’RE SHOWING THE HOUSTON OFFENSE BUT I THINK IF YOU LOOK DEEP INTO THIS GAME, IT’S THE HOUSTON DEFENSE THAT OUTSHINES THEIR OFFENSE. AND YOU ALSO SEE BLAINE GABBERT GOING 7 OUT OF 19. WE TALKED THE PREVIOUS GAME ABOUT THE EFFORT GETTING TO THE FOOTBALL. THIS HOUSTON TEXAN TEAM NEVER LACKS EFFORT. ALWAYS AROUND A FOOTBALL. 3 OR 4 PLAYERS AT ALL TIMES. AND WHAT BOTHERS GABBERT MOST OF ALL? WE SAW THAT LAST YEAR IN PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE. THAT’S JUST A BAD THROW FOR ME. IT’S JUST OVERTHROWN. LAST WEEK HE WAS GOOD AGAINST THE MINN. VIKINGS . HE SHOWED PROGRESS. HE MADE PROGRESS. AND AS WE WATCH HIM STRUGGLE RIGHT HERE GUYS A COUPLE NUMBERS TO THINK ABOUT. JACKSONVILLE 0-9 ON 3RD DOWN. RUN RIGHT INTO THE …. HOW ABOUT 117 YDS. OF TOTAL OFFENSE. TOTAL. I HAVE A BIGGER STAT. HOW ABOUT TIME OF POSSESSION ON THE ROAD. TEXAS 43 MINS. JAGUARS 16. OH MY GOD. IT’S LIKE 60-NOTHING. HERE’S A PLAY. BLAINE GABBERT FINDING MAURICE JONES-DREW. HE FINDS A WAY TO COME BACK. THAT’S AN OUTSTANDING PLAY BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO MAKE YOUR LIVING DOING THAT. DON’T THEY SAY A BROKEN CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY? YES. YES. SCHAUB MEANWHILE JUST STEADY, NOT SPECTACULAR TODAY. GARRETT GRAHAM FOR 15. JUST KEEP DISTRIBUTING THE FOOTBALL TO DIFFERENT OPEN RECEIVERS. DON’T TAKE ANY UNNECESSARY RISKS AND ALLOW YOUR R.B. TANDEM TO DO THE HEAVY LIFTING. BEN TATE 3RD TD. RUN OF THE DAY. TEXANS LEADING 24-7. BLAINE GABBERT STRUGGLING. 3RD DOWN & 17. I MENTIONED THAT THEY WERE 0-9 ON THE DAY. WELL NOT ONLY DID THEY FAIL TO CONVERT INTO 1ST DOWN. WHERE’S THAT GOING? YEA, WHERE IS THAT GOING? AND HE GETS HURT ON THIS ONE. BLAINE GABBERT INJURED ON THIS PLAY. INJURED HIS LEG. DID NOT COME BACK TO THE GAME AND CHAD HENNE WOULD COME IN TO FINISH. THIS IS A HUGE STEP UP IN CLASS FOR THE JAGS. THERE’S NO SHAME IN LOSING TO THE HOUSTON TEXANS, AT ALL. 27-7 THE FINAL. A NUMBER OF WAYS. BLAINE GABBERT, 7 OF 19. 0 FOR 9, 3RD DOWN. A LITTLE OVER 100 YDS. TOTAL OFFENSE. A LOT OF WAYS TO LOOK AT JACKSONVILLE STRUGGLE. MEANWHILE HOUSTON JUST SOLID AND EFFICIENT DOING WHAT THEY DO. STRONG GROUND GAME.

01:37:01 – NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS
SAINTS LOOKING TO GET BACK ON TRACK. THEY’RE LOOKING TO GET THAT 1ST WIN OF THE SEASON AGAINST #1 FROM THE PANTHERS, CAM NEWTON. AND THERE IS DREW BREES. A LOT OF #’S LAST WEEK AGAINST THE REDSKINS BUT A LOSS AND TIM KEES REPLACING OFFICIAL RYAN STRAPOLO, ALLEGEDLY, A SAINTS FAN. DREW BREES ROLLING RIGHT. SERIOUSLY? THEY REPLACED THE REF BECAUSE HE’S A SAINTS FAN? YES. FOUND TO BE A SAINTS FAN. THEY TOOK HIM OFF THE FIELD. OH BOY. HE COULDN’T HAVE CONTROLLED THIS. THIS IS JUST A… I KNOW HOW THE SAINTS FANS ARE. BEST BELIEVE, HE WOULD’VE MADE SOME CALLS TOWARDS NEW ORLEANS SIDE. CHARLES GODFREY, PICK 6. SCORE ALL TIED AT 7. 2ND QUARTER NOW. CAM NEWTON. NICE AFTERNOON HE HAD. SETS UP A SCREEN. JOHN STEWART DOES THE REST. YEA, AND HE’S SUCH A DIFFICULT QB TO STOP. YOU DO THE MISDIRECTION AND HE HAVE A CHANCE TO THROW A SCREEN PASS TO ONE OF YOUR RB’S. HAVE THE DEFENSE GOING AND SOMEBODY WENT THAT WAY, DIFFERENT WAYS; AND THERE’S A LOT OF HATRED BETWEEN THESE 2 TEAMS RIGHT HERE AS YOU CAN SEE. A LOT OF BAD BLOOD BETWEEN THESE GUYS. BEEN GOING ON FOR AWHILE. FOR AWHILE. WITH THE PANTHERS THOUGH, IT ALL STARTS WITH RUNNING THE FOOTBALL; AND IF THEY CAN ESTABLISH THE RUN AND TAKE SOME PRESSURE OFF OF CAM, THEN HE CAN GET OUT THERE AND DO SOME THINGS. DEANGELO WILLIAMS. LOOKED LIKE AN AUBURN PLAY THERE. YES IT IS. YOU KNOW THEY’RE GONNA DO A LOT OF THINGS SIMILAR TO WHAT CAM DID AT COLLEGE BECAUSE HE HAPPENS TO BE COMFORTABLE. BUT YOU WANT TO SEE THEM RUSH THE FOOTBALL, TOM, BECAUSE THAT’S GONNA SETUP SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS FOR CAM. 219 RUSHING YDS. TODAY FOR THE CAROLINA PANTHERS. I KNOW THAT SAINTS DEFENSE IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. DEANGELO WILLIAMS’ TD. MADE IT 28-13. THERE IS THE DEFENSE OF THE PANTHERS. DREW BREES GETS RID OF THE BALL. CALLED FOR INTENTIONAL GROUNDING. SHAKEN UP AT THE END OF THE PLAY. YEA. AGAIN, HIS NUMBERS WERE SOLID TODAY. THREW FOR 325 YDS. THREW MORE INTERCEPTIONS THAN TDS. HE JUST DOESN’T LOOK COMFORTABLE TO ME. 4TH QUARTER NOW. CAM NEWTON FINDS A WIDE OPEN STEVE SMITH. WIDE OPEN. 66 YDS. YEA, YOU SEE THE GUY CHASING HIM, COREY WHITE. ONCE AGAIN A ROOKIE. YOU’RE GONNA HAVE THIS WHENEVER YOU’RE STARTING A ROOKIE A CORNERBACK FOR YOUR DEFENSE. THERE’S GONNA BE SOME COVERAGE BREAKDOWN. AND CAM NEWTON, THERE’S THE EXTRA ELEMENT RIGHT THERE. QB DRAW. KEEPS IT HIMSELF. TD. PANTHERS ON TOP 35-20. CAM ACTUALLY LED THE WAY TODAY WITH 71 RUSHING YDS. THREW FOR 253 AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, 0 INTERCEPTIONS. YEA. 0 INTERCEPTIONS. THAT’S GOOD TOO. AND ALSO YOU THINK DEANGELO GETS 60, CLOSE TO 70 YDS. YOU GOT JONATHAN STEWART HAS 50. SO IT’S DEFINITELY A GROUP EFFORT. 4TH & 4. DREW BREES STRIPPED. TAKES IT BACK UP AND INTENDED FOR JIMMY GRAHAM. BROKEN UP BY JOHN VESSON. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A SAINTS OFFENSE THAT LOOKED THAT OUT OF SYNC? BEEN A LONG TIME. NEXT DRIVE, DARREN SPROLES 24 YD. COMPLETION DOWN TO THE CAROLINA 29. AND, AGAIN, AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, THE SAINTS HAD 486 TOTAL YDS. AND 27 PTS. MOST SUNDAYS THAT’S GONNA BE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET A VICTORY. NOT IF YOU’RE GIVING UP. THE AMOUNT OF PTS. THEY’RE GIVING UP. 35? YOU’RE NOT GONNA WIN TOO MANY GAMES. 1 YD. TD. RUN. SAINTS TRAIL 35-27. CAM NEWTON. I JUST WORRY THAT THEY ASK HIM TO DO THIS TOO MUCH. I KNOW HE’S A BIG MAN AT 6’6 AND 240. BUT YOU DON’T WANT TO CONSISTENTLY PUT HIM UNDER THAT TYPE OF PRESSURE TO TAKE THOSE BEATINGS. AFTER AWHILE IT’S GONNA WEAR ON YOU, NO MATTER HOW BIG YOU ARE. DREW BREES INTERCEPTION OF THE DAY. THREW 2. THAT ONE PICKED OFF BY JOHN BEASON, AND THE PANTHERS HANG ON TO WIN 35 TO 27. HOW GLAD ARE THEY, THE PANTHERS, TO HAVE JOHN BEASON BACK AFTER MISSING 15 GAMES LAST YEAR? YES. HE’S ONE OF THE LEADERS ON THAT DEFENSE AND NOW…TALK ABOUT THE SAINTS AGAIN, YOU JUST DON’T SEE THE TYPE OF THROWS THAT YOU WERE MAKING. IT’S JUST STUFF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IN THE PAST.
01:40:49 – OAKLAND RAIDERS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS

HERE COMES REGGIE BUSH. HE DANCES. HE BREAKS. HE BREAKS. HE BREAKS. HE BREAKS 4 TACKLES ON HIS WAY TO THE END ZONE. SUDDENLY REGGIE BUSH IS A SUPER DUPER STAR. LOOK AT THIS REPLAY. I GOT IT. NO. I…NO. THAT’S EXACTLY HOW FRESNO STATE TRIED TO TACKLE REGGIE BUSH IN COLLEGE. DIDN’T WORK FOR THEM. AND REGGIE WITH A BIG THROW INTO THE STANDS. I THINK HE CAN THROW IT FARTHER THAN TANNEHILL CAN. DOLPHINS TAKE THE 14-10 LEAD. NEXT DOLPHINS POSSESSION 1ST & 10, THEIR OWN 35. REGGIE BUSH GOES AROUND THE END, AND THIS IS VERY BO JACKSONESQUE. I’M GONNA RUN AWAY FROM EVERYBODY. 65 YDS. IT’S HIS 6TH STRAIGHT GAME WITH 100 PLUS SCRIMMAGE YDS. A DOLPHINS FRANCHISE RECORD. AT THIS POINT HE HAD 32 FANTASY POINTS. DOLPHINS PUNTING ON THEIR NEXT POSSESSION. PHILLIP ADAMS BACK TO RETURN FOR THE RAIDERS. ADAMS RUNS RIGHT AND HE’S GONNA GO 47 YDS. TAKE IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE DOLPHINS 25 YD. LINE. RAIDERS WOULD ADD A 27 YD. SEBASTIAN JANIKOWSKI F.G. AGAIN SEABASE TRYING OUT TO BE THE RAIDERS MOST IMPORTANT OFFENSIVE PLAYER. 4TH QUARTER DOLPHINS NEXT POSSESSION. THEY LEAD 21-13. RYAN TANNEHILL AGAIN LOOKING.

AND TO QUOTE MARV ALBERT, “THIS IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT TOM COUGHLIN HAD IN MIND.” 4TH QUARTER, GIANTS BALL TRAILING 27-19. VICTORY CRUZ HAS 99 YDS. RECEIVING UNTIL THIS PLAY. IF YOU’RE IN THE FANTASY LEAGUE LIKE ME THAT GIVES YOU A BONUS FOR OVER 100, YOU’RE DOING BACKFLIPS AFTER THIS CATCH AND RUN. 81 YDS. FOR A TD. THAT’S ACTUALLY THE CHICKEN DANCE. THIS IS THE SALSA BUT YOU GET WHAT I’M SAYING. THEY WOULD GET THE 2 PT. CONVERSION TO TIE IT AT 27. GIANTS NEXT POSSESSION 1ST & 10, THEIR OWN 33. ELI LOOKING FOR HAKEEM NICKS. CAN’T COME DOWN WITH IT. NICKS SHAKEN UP ON THE PLAY. 2 PLAYS LATER, 1ST & 10 THEIR OWN 47. ELI MANNING. NAH, HAKEEM NICKS IS FINE! HE’S JUST PLAYING WITH YA! 20 YDS.

THERE’S JOSH FREEMAN GOING DEEP FOR MIKE WILLIAMS ON THE SIDELINE FOR THE CATCH. LOOK OUT. WE COULD HAVE A …WAIT A MINUTE. THE PLAY WOULD BE REVIEWED. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. WILLIAMS MAKES THE CATCH BUT ANTRELLE ROLLE HITS HIM. HE LOSES CONTROL OF THE BALL. PLAY WOULD BE REVERSED. INCOMPLETE PASS. NEXT PLAY 2ND & 10 ON THE GIANTS 45. JOSH FREEMAN LOOKING FOR DALLAS CLARK. YES, HE IS STILL IN THE LEAGUE. INSTEAD HE FINDS MICHAEL BOLEY. FREEMAN DID THROW FOR 243. 2 PICKS, 2 TDS. BUT THE GIANTS WIN IT 41-34.

WHY YOU SAY IT SETS THE TABLE BECAUSE THIS LETS YOU KNOW THE FOCUS OF YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM, EARLY IN THE GAME, TO HAVE THESE MISTAKES, LETS YOU KNOW YOUR TEAM IS NOT FOCUSED. SEATTLE’S A VERY DIFFICULT PLACE TO PLAY BUT LET’S FACE IT, TOP TO BOTTOM THIS IS A DALLAS COWBOY TEAM THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRAVEL INTO THERE AND WIN THIS GAME. TONY ROMO UNDER PRESSURE OFF THE BACK FOOT. WANTS JASON WITTEN BUT FINDS BRANDON BROWNER. TAKES IT BACK 35 YDS. YEA, THIS IS A DEFENSE IN THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS THAT KNOWS HOW TO CREATE TURNOVERS. WERE TOPS IN THE LEAGUE LAST YEAR AT CREATING AND TAKING THE FOOTBALL AWAY. SAME THING RIGHT HERE AGAINST THE COWBOYS. SO FAR SO GOOD. YOU’RE WINNING THE TURNOVER BATTLE. YOU’RE PLAYING GOOD SPECIAL TEAMS. YOUR DEFENSE IS SHOWING UP. NOW YOU JUST GOTTA GET SOMETHING FROM YOUR OFFENSE IF YOU’RE PETE CARROLL. 14TH PLAY OF THE DRIVE. THAT’S A TOUCH PASS ON PLAY 14 TO MILES AUSTIN. TOUCHDOWN TIES HALL OF FAMER ROGER STAUBACH. 3RD MOST IN COWBOYS HISTORY AT 153. SEATTLE STILL LEADING 10-7. INTO THE 3RD QUARTER AFTER A SEATTLE F.G.

BUY SOME EXTRA TIME OR JUST KEEP IT HIMSELF IF HE HAS TO. AND YOU KNOW RUNNING…THAT’S A NICE BLOCK. GREAT BLOCK TOO. GREAT BLOCK. YOU KNOW RUSSELL WILSON IS NOT A KID THAT’S JUST GONNA SCRAMBLE IF HE DOESN’T SEE HIS 1ST READ OR 2ND READ. …ON SHAWN LEE. …BEST TIME FOR HIS TEAM TO GAIN YARDAGE. WOW. 8 PLAYS LATER 1ST & GOAL.

REMEMBER THESE 2 TEAMS MADE THE TRADE THAT PUT GRIFFIN IN OUR NATION’S CAPITOL. 14-3 WASHINGTON. WE THOUGHT IT WAS A LAUGHER BUT FAR FROM IT. STEPHEN JACKSON. ALRIGHT. STILL POUNDING AWAY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. GET TO BUSH! STEPHEN JACKSON THOUGHT HE WAS IN. THE RAMS THOUGHT THEY WERE IN ,AND HE GOT MAD BECAUSE THESE REPLACEMENT OFFICIALS SAID, “NO, YOU DIDN’T GET IN.” BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE’S A PERSONAL FOUL. YEA. YOU CAN’T TREAT…. JEFF FISHER TOOK HIM OUT OF THE GAME! HIS KNEE IS DOWN. YOU CANNOT TREAT THE SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS BADLY. SO THEY SETTLE FOR A F.G. RAMS GO 14-6. NEXT REDSKINS POSSESSION. LOOK AT THIS THROW BY R.G. III. THE LETTER K… R.G. III. YOU KNOW ME! WE SAW HIM DO THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN AT BAYLOR TO KENDELL WRIGHT. 21-6 AT THAT POINT. BUT ST. LOUIS DIDN’T QUIT. REMEMBER THEY KEPT THE GAME SO CLOSE LAST WEEK IN DETROIT. HERE’S SAM BRADFORD. THE TD. TO DANNY AMENDOLA. AMENDOLA HAD A BIG DAY. YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU GIVE TIME TO SAM BRADFORD, HE’S AS GOOD AS ANYBODY. AMENDOLA’S TARGETED 16 TIMES AND HE CAUGHT 15 BALLS. THAT’S PRETTY GOOD. HE HAD AN AMENDOLA JERSEY ON. THEY MAKE THOSE.

01:56:44 – TENNESSEE TITANS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
TITANS. C.J. ONLY HAD 4 RUSHING YDS. THEY RETIRED THE NUMBER OF THE LATE JR. SEAU BEFORE THIS GAME. JR. SEAU WAS A GREAT PLAYER. 1ST QUARTER, OPENING DRIVE. NO ANTONIO GATES IN THIS ONE. SO PHILIP RIVERS FINDS DANTE ROSARIO. NEVER MIND THE HIT. I’LL TAKE THE SCORE. THAT’S ONE FIRED-UP QB, THAT GUY. NEXT TITANS DRIVE JAKE LOCKER PLAYING WITH THAT BUM LEFT SHOULDER. HERE IT WAS HIS RIGHT ONE THAT WAS A PROBLEM. YOU KNEW THAT WAS GONNA BE A PICK WHEN HE THREW IT. ERIC WEDDLE WITH THE HONORS. LOCKER FINISHED 15 OF 30. 174 ON THE DAY. THAT’S NOT THAT GOOD. DANTE ROSARIO, ANYBODY PICK HIM UP TODAY IN FANTASY? THEY WILL NEXT WEEK. NO, GREAT LOCATION. THROW IT UP NICE AND TALL. YEA, SO THAT’S 2 TDS. AND AS MANY SCORES FOR S.D. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE.

THEY KNEW THE CAMERAS WERE ON THEM. THAT WAS A PHONY HUG. THAT WAS FAKE. O.K. HERE COMES THE REAL DEAL. MARIO MANNINGHAM. WHAT AN ADDITION HE’S BEEN FOR THE S.F. 49ERS. GREAT REVERSE RIGHT THERE. GETS IT INSIDE THE LIONS 40. 2 PLAYS LATER ALEX SMITH, NOT SPECTACULAR. SOLID THOUGH GOING TO VERNON DAVIS. I LIKE THAT PLAY. ALEX SMITH CHECKED IT OFF. HE SAW IT WAS ONE-ON-ONE COVERAGE. HE LOOKED OUT THERE AND SAW THE BIG FELLA. SAID, “LET’S GO GET HIM”. AND HE DID JUST THAT. THAT LASTED JUST OVER A MINUTE BY THE WAY. MATTHEW STAFFORD…THAT WAS ..GREAT PASS! HE HIT IT RIGHT IN BETWEEN THE #’S. WRONG GUY. WRONG GUY. THIS GUY CAN PLAY THOUGH. HE CAN PLAY. 4 PLAYS LATER, IT’S NOT 4TH & 4 FOR THE NINERS. THEY REALLY COULDN’T MOVE IT. SO DAVID AKERS, REMEMBER HE WAS GOOD FROM 63 LAST WEEK. SO THIS ONE FROM 35. THIS IS A CHIP SHOT. BUT WATCH WHAT HAPPENS WITH A COUPLE OF LIONS. __, GREG FLORENCE. YOU KNOW STUPID STUFF LIKE THAT. VETERAN TEAMS DON’T MAKE THOSE MISTAKES. IT MIRRORS THEIR OFFSEASON ACTIVITIES WITH THEIR IN-SEASON ACTIVITIES. ..TOOK THE PTS. OFF THE BOARD. PRETTY GOOD MOVE. RANDY MOSS HERE. THERE’S P.I. WE SAW THAT AT ALL TIMES. AND IT CAME RIGHT BACK TO IT WHICH SHOULD BE BOTH PENALTIES. S.F. RIGHT DOWN THERE 1ST & GOAL. YEA, THAT WAS ON JAKE LACEY. SO WE’RE CHANGING ENDS AFTER THE QUARTER. THAT’S WHAT THEY DO. FRANK GORE… ONCE YOU GIVE FRANK GORE THE BALL THAT SIDE OF THE 1 YD. LINE, THAT’S A WRAP. RAN HARD TODAY MAN. RAN HARD. MAN, HE RUNS BEHIND HIS PASS. 21 REASONS. ALRIGHT, LET’S GET BACK ON IT. MARSHALL, HERE’S FRANK GORE AGAIN. SEE THAT LITTLE MOVE RIGHT THERE. THAT’S CALLED ROCKIN’ IN HIS SLEEP. IT AIN’T LIKE… YOU WERE TELLING ME EARLIER HOW YOU HAD TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT BEING PATIENT. HE’S A DOWNHILL RUNNER AND DOWNHILL RUNNERS SOMETIMES ARE NOT PATIENT. AND HE LIKED TO RUN BEHIND HIS PASS, AND NOW HE’S BEING PATIENT WAITING FOR HIS BLOCKS; AND, MAN, HE’S PUTTING MOVES ON PEOPLE AND RUNNING THROUGH PEOPLE. NINERS UP 8 IN THE 4TH. OH, THAT ONE GOES RIGHT THROUGH MARIO MANNINGHAM. HE DIDN’T… THIS ISN’T FOR WHO, FOR WHAT, RICKY WATTERS IS IT? SOMEBODY FORGOT TO TELL HIM HE DON’T HIT YOU ACROSS THE MIDDLE ANYMORE. HE THOUGHT HE SAW A RIGHT L COMING AT HIM. DAVID AKERS GOOD FROM 48. SO IT’S 20-9. THEN MATTHEW STAFFORD LOOKING FOR MEGATRON. MICHAEL, IS HE GONNA GET 2,000? BOY, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT.. NO! WITH THE S.F. 49ERS DEFENSE THEY AIN’T GONNA BE ABLE TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING BUT THAT WAS A NICE CONNECTION. THAT ONE GOOD FOR 26 AND STAFFORD TAKING HIMSELF FOR 11. O.K. THEY’RE MOVING. THEY’RE MOVING. NOW THEY’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. AHMAD BROOKS. ONE OF THOSE DEFENDERS YOU DON’T REALLY TALK ABOUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT S.F. BUT DEION HE CAN PLAY A LITTLE BIT. NOT ONLY CAN HE PLAY. I MEAN HE’S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO BE RECKONED WITH. HE REALLY IS. THEY HAVE SO MANY GREAT ATHLETES ON THE DEF. SIDE OF THE BALL BUT THIS GUY COULD PLAY THE GAME. LED TO A JASON HANSON F.G. THAT’S ALL THEY GOT TO THAT POINT. JUST 4 F.G.’S OUT OF HIM. NOW SMITH, MICHAEL CRABTREE. IS THIS THE YEAR HE FINALLY… DALLAS! WELL YOU’RE GETTING SOME COMPETITION. YOU BROUGHT IN OTHER GUYS.
