LET’S SHOW SOME HIGHLIGHTS.  HERE WE GO.  TEXANS AND THE LIONS.  JIM SCHWARTZ LIONS.  THE LIONS HAVE LOST 8 CONSECUTIVE TIMES ON THANKSGIVING DAY, AND THIS ONE WOULD HEAD TO OVERTIME.  LET’S START EARLY THOUGH.  MATT SCHAUB, PLENTY OF TIME FINDING OWEN DANIELS.  OR HE SHOULD HAVE FOUND HIM.  HE WAS WIDE OPEN.  WIDE OPEN.  YOU SAID IT, OH!  THEN NDUMNIC EN SU WITH THE LEFT OUT THERE.  I DON’T KNOW.  IS THAT GONNA, ARE WE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT?  DID HE TRY TO DO THAT?  I’M SURE IT WAS DISCUSSED DURING THE GAME.  WE GO BACK TO LAST THANKSGIVING.  NOW THAT WAS INTENTIONAL.  I DON’T KNOW IF YOU COULD SAY WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WAS INTENTIONAL.  COINCIDENCE?  SOMETHING LIKE THAT.  ALRIGHT.  2^ND QUARTER, TEXANS BALL TRAILING 7-NOTHING.  SCHAUB ROLLING OUT.  THEY DO THIS SO WELL.  ROLL ONE WAY AND THROW BACK.  GOTTA HAVE AN EFFECTIVE RUN GAME FOR THIS PLAY TO WORK.  SCHAUB AND THE TEXANS ARE ONE OF THE BEST AT IT; AND ANDRE JOHNSON HAD A BIG GAME TODAY PAUL.  THAT WAS 37 YDS. RIGHT THERE.  … BY ARIAN FOSTER.  6 YD. TOUCHDOWN.  GAME ALL TIED AT 7.  THIS IS WHY HE’S THE BEST IN THE NFL RIGHT HERE.  THE PATIENCE THAT HE SHOWED WAITING FOR THE SEAM TO OPEN AND HE RAN FOR HIS 3^RD CONSECUTIVE 1,000 YD. SEASON TODAY.  MATTHEW STAFFORD ALWAYS HAS A MATCHUP ADVANTAGE IN CALVIN JOHNSON BUT WHILE JONATHAN JOSEPH IS OUT YOU CAN DO THAT.  35 YDS.  THERE IS NO DEFENSE FOR THAT MAN.  MIKE THOMAS, ONE OF THE SUPPLEMENTS OUT WIDE FOR MATTHEW STAFFORD.  SIDEARM FLIP.  LIONS ON TOP 14-7.  STAFFORD SPREAD THE BALL AROUND WELL TODAY.  HE GOT EVERYBODY INVOLVED.  ANDRE JOHNSON WAS INVOLVED FROM THE START.  43 YDS.  MANAGES TO COME UP WITH IT.  TEXANS GET THE 1^ST DOWN.  ANDRE JOHNSON FINISHED THE FIRST HALF 3 CATCHES, 87 YDS.  GOOD CONCENTRATION ON THAT ONE.  A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER.  SCHAUB BUYING TIME FINDING KEVIN WALTER 5 YDS.  SHAWN TAKEN DOWN BY SUH LEGS.  I DON’T LIKE THAT.  ANYTIME SUH TAKES YOU DOWN IT’S VIOLENT AND IT DOESN’T LOOK GOOD.  HE DOESN’T LET ANYBODY GO DOWN EASY.  3^RD DOWN & 7.  OWEN DANIELS.  GAME TIED AT 14.  RED ZONE.  YOU ALWAYS GOTTA BE AWARE OF THE T.E.  I THINK HE JUST CARVED UP SOME TURKEY AND SERVED IT.  IS THAT WHAT HE DID?  YEA.   SLICED.  MATTHEW STAFFORD STILL HAS SOMETHING HE LIKES WITH CALVIN JOHNSON.  TOUCHDOWN 22 YDS. OUT.  LIONS UP 21-14.  GREAT POSITION BY ALLEN BALL.  IT’S JUST UNFAIR WITH CALVIN JOHNSON, HIS CONCENTRATION, BEING ABLE TO GO UP, EXTEND PLAYS, BEING IN THE AIR WITH HIS HEIGHT.  IT’S JUST TOUGH.  5 CATCHES, 103 YDS. AND A TD. IN THE 1^ST HALF.  HUGE PLAY IN THIS GAME.  JUSTIN FORSETT UP THE MIDDLE.  LOOKS LIKE HE IS DOWN BUT HE GETS UP.  WHISTLE NEVER BLEW.  SO HE GOES 81 YDS. FOR A TD.  NOW EVERY SINGLE SCORING PLAY IS GOING TO BE REVIEWED.  YOU DON’T NEED TO THROW A FLAG OT HAVE IT REVIEWED.  HOWEVER, JIM SCHWARTZ IS GONNA GO AHEAD AND THROW THAT CHALLENGE FLAG.  SINCE ALL SCORING PLAYS AUTOMATICALLY REVIEWED, SCHWARTZ IS CALLED FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT.  THE PLAY IS NOT REVIEWABLE AND THE TD. STANDS.  I DON’T GET THIS .  I UNDERSTAND AS A COACH YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THE RULES AND YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT’S GOING ON BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.  THEY SHOULD’VE PUT HIM IN TO KICK THE O.T. F.G.  THEY WERE GONNA CHALLENGE THE PLAY ANYWAY.  THAT’S GUNTHER CUNNINGHAM.  OBVIOUSLY HE’S UPSET.  DROPKICKING THE BOOK.  UNBELIEVABLE PLAY THERE.  UNBELIEVABLE SEQUENCE.  24-24.  __ BELL.  WAS HE UNTOUCHED?  UNTOUCHED.  AND THAT WAS THE PARTING OF THE RED SEAS RIGHT THERE.  THIS IS WHAT THE DETROIT LIONS NEEDED TO DO THE ENTIRE 4^TH QUARTER WHEN THEY KEPT THROWING THE BALL ON 2ND & 3^RD DOWN.  THAT’S J.J. WATT WITH THE DEF. LINE COACH, BILL POLAR FOR THE TEXANS.  LIONS NEXT POSSESSION.  3^RD DOWN & 10.  STAFFORD SACKED BY J.J. WATT FOR A LOSS OF 7.  TAKES THEM OUT OF F.G. RANGE.  THAT’S A GREAT MAKEUP PLAY.  THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE S.B.  GOT AWAY WITH A BIG PENALTY.  WE SCORED. THEY CALLED IT BACK.  I CAME BACK, GOT THE SACK.  THAT’S A GOOD MAKEUP PLAY.  J.J. WATT HAD 3 SACKS.  THAT WAS HIS 3^RD SACK.  THAT’S SCHAUB TO ANDRE JOHNSON ON 3^RD & 8.  1^ST DOWN & 10, SCHAUB TO JOHNSON AND ALMOST PICKED OFF BY CHRIS HOUSTON.  SEEMED LIKE THAT ONE GOT AWAY FROM HIM.  JUST STARTED FLOATING IN THE AIR.  HOUSTON’S GOTTA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS OPPORTUNITIES.  ANDRE JOHNSON HAD OVER 200 YDS. RECEIVING LAST WEEK.  HE DIDN’T QUITE GET THERE THIS TIME BUT THAT’S FOR 16.  ON 4^TH & 7 HE HAD 188 YDS. RECEIVING.  3 PLAYS LATER 3^RD & 10.  THIS IS THE SCORING PLAY FROM LAST WEEK IN O.T., REMEMBER, AGAINST THE JAGUARS.  NO SCORE THERE BUT HE GETS 12 AND A 1^ST DOWN AT THE 13.  3 PLAYS LATER, 2^ND & GOAL.  ARIAN FOSTER, TOUCHDOWN HOUSTON.  GAME ALL TIED AT 31.  HE HAS A NOSE FOR THE END ZONE.  LIONS NEXT POSSESSION, 3^RD DOWN & 10 ON THE TEXANS 45.  LOOKING FOR CALVIN JOHNSON.  INCOMPLETE AND WILLIE YOU SAID YOU DIDN’T LIKE THAT CALL, 3^RD & 10.  NO, I DON’T LIKE THAT CALL.  YOU HAD PETTIGREW ON A DOUBLE MOVE.  I THINK HE WAS OPEN.  YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND GET THE 1^ST DOWN.  IT WAS 3^RD & 5 WHEN I PLAYED.  GET THE 1^ST DOWN, KEEP THE STICKS MOVING.  LIONS BALL.  NOW STAFFORD TO THE ROOKIE RYAN ROYALS.  STAFFORD MAKING A NICE PLAY.  PERFECT TOUCH TO HIS LEFT.  40 YD. GAIN.  WILLIS HAD A BIG DAY TODAY.  HE FILLED IN FOR A TITUS YOUNG.  ALWAYS SAY OPPORTUNITY MEETS PREPARATION.  BRANDON PETTIGREW MAKES THE CATCH BUT STRIPPED BY MANNING.  BALL RECOVERED BY DARREL SHARPTON.  THE TEXANS TAKE OVER ON THEIR OWN 35.  WITH THE FOOTBALL NOW, SCHAUB FAKES THE END AROUND, FINDS ANDRE JOHNSON.  AGAIN, 9 CATCHES, 188 YDS. FOR JOHNSON TODAY.  WHO SAID ANDRE JOHNSON LOST A STEP?  I WANT TO KNOW THOSE PEOPLE THAT’S TALKING ABOUT THAT.  SEE WHERE HE CAME BACK TO THE BALL ON THAT?  YEA.  THAT’S A BIG PLAY.  HE’S A VET.  LOOKING PRETTY GOOD THESE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS.  3^RD & 14, ARIAN FOSTER THROWN FOR A LOSS OF 2.  SO NEXT PLAY SHAY GRAHAM FROM 51 YDS. OUT IN O.T.  THAT WAS AFTER THE JIM SCHWARTZ FREEZE PLAY.  SO HE GOT THEM WITH THE FREEZE PLAY, RIGHT PAUL?  FROZEN ?  THAT WAS ALMOST GOOD BUT THE BOTTOM LINE, NO GOOD.  LIONS TAKE IT.  PREMATURE CELEBRATION ON THEIR OWN 41.  THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER MISSED F.G. COMING UP HERE.  LIONS NEXT POSSESSION.  STAFFORD WANTS TONY SCHEFFLER.  HAS IT.  LEAPS OVER BRYCE MCKANE AND PICKS UP 14.  THAT’S A GREAT PLAY RIGHT THERE.  3 PLAYS LATER FACING 3^RD DOWN AGAIN.  3^RD DOWN & 10.  STAFFORD WANTS THE ROOKIE RYAN BROYALS BUT HITS THE GROUND BEFORE BRYCE MCKANE CAN MAKE THE INTERCEPTION.  LIONS FORCED TO PUNT.  UNFORTUNATELY FOR BROYALS, HE HAD A BIG DAY… BUT THAT’S THE ONE HE’S GONNA REMEMBER.  2^ND DOWN 5.  SCHAUB INTENDED FOR KEYSHAWN MARTIN; AND VANDER BOSCH WILL NEVER…  HE COULD’VE ENDED RIGHT THERE.  IT WILL NEVER BE EASIER.  THIS ONE PICKED OFF BY CHRIS HOUSTON AND THE LIONS ARE IN BUSINESS.  HOUSTON PICKS OFF HOUSTON.  YOU LIKE THAT HUH?  I LIKE IT.  HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM.  YOU HAVE A BIG PROBLEM IF YOU’RE DETROIT…OR IF YOU ARE HOUSTON YOU HAVE THAT ISSUE.  LIONS NEXT POSSESSION.  3^RD DOWN, 11.  STAFFORD TO TONY SCHEFFLER.  WELL PLACED BALL.  14 YDS.  LIONS FIRST DOWN ON THE HOUSTON 28.  A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER.  LET’S BRING OUT THE VETERAN JASON HANSON.  JUST LET HIM END THIS, RIGHT?  WRONG.  YEA, HE’S A GIVEN.  ALMOST!  WOW.  LIONS TAKE OVER ON THEIR OWN 37.  ONLY IN DETROIT.  SCHWARTZ CAN’T BELIEVE IT.  I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU HIT THE POST.  NOT EVEN WIND TO BLAME.  NOT EVEN COLD.  TEXANS NEXT POSSESSION.  SCHAUB TO ANDRE JOHNSON.  HE CONTINUES HIS MONSTER DAY.  23 YDS. AND THE TEXANS NOW IN F.G. RANGE.  GOT A LITTLE NERVOUS.  I SAW THAT BALL ON THE GROUND.  I WAS LIKE “I HOPE IT’S NOT A FUMBLE.”  YEA.  THEN YOU GET SCARED IF YOU’RE A COACH.  “DO I THROW THE FLAG?  DO I WAIT?  WHAT DO I DO?”  SHANE GRAHAM THOUGHT ABOUT MISSING THAT.  DID YOU SEE THAT.  HE TRIED.  HE THOUGHT ABOUT PULLING THAT ONE TOO FAR TO THE LEFT.  BUTZ, IT’S GOOD FROM 32 YDS. OUT AND THE TEXANS WIN IN O.T. 34-31.  THAT’S HOW HOUSTON MOVES TO 10-1, AND HOW THE LIONS FALL TO 4-7.  THE LIONS HAVE LOST 9 CONSECUTIVE TIMES ON THANKSGIVING DAY.  HERE’S MATTHEW STAFFORD MOMENTS AFTER THE LOSS.

01:18:10 – WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ DALLAS COWBOYS

 ROBERT GRIFFIN III.  YOU SPOKE JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HIM RETURNING TO HIS HOME STATE OF TEXAS.  COMES OUT OF BAYLOR, OF COURSE, AND THEN TONY ROMO 5-0 ALL TIME ON THANKSGIVING DAY GAMES.  ROMO GOES TO THE BACK OF THE END ZONE FOR MILES AUSTIN IN THE 1^ST QUARTER BUT IT’S BROKEN UP BY LONDON FLETCHER.  TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  GREAT PLAY BY FLETCHER.  HE JARS THE BALL LOOSE.  AUSTIN LATER GETTING CHECKED-OUT ON THE SIDELINE.  HE LEFT THE GAME WITH A HIP STRAIN.  2^ND QUARTER, REDSKINS 3^RD POSSESSION.  DOWN 3.  GRIFFIN FAKES THE HANDOFF AND THEN HE GOES DEEP, AND HE FINDS ALDRETT ROBINSON BEHIND THE COVERAGE FOR THE 68 YD. TD.  REDSKINS TAKE A 7-3 LEAD.  R.G. III CELEBRATES JUST BY FALLING DOWN ON THE GROUND.  ENSUING COWBOYS POSSESSION, 3^RD & 2.  ROMO GETS IT OUT TO DEZ BRYANT WHO PICKS UP THE 1^ST DOWN BUT FUMBLES THE BALL.  IT’S RECOVERED BY JOSH WILSON OF THE REDSKINS.  RETURNED IT TO MIDFIELD.  THAT LED TO AN ALFRED MORRIS 1 YD. TD. TO PUT THE REDSKINS UP 14-3.  JASON GARRETT’S THINKING, “WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?”  2 REDSKINS POSSESSIONS LATER, GRIFFIN OFF PLAY ACTION OVER THE MIDDLE TO PIERRE GARSON.  OUTRUNS EVERYONE.  OFF TO THE RACES.  59 YDS. FOR THE TD.  REDSKINS ON TOP, 21-3.  LOOK AT THAT ACCURACY RIGHT OVER BRUCE CARTER, AND HE NAILS GARSON FOR THE HUGE PLAY.  R.G. III AND TRENT WILLIAMS, THE LINEMAN, CELEBRATING.  NEXT COWBOYS POSSESSION.  ROMO LOOKING FOR COLE BEASLEY BUT IT’S INTERCEPTED BY DEANGELO HALL.  THE VETERAN RETURNS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE COWBOYS 33.  THAT’S ROMO’S 1^ST INTERCEPTION AFTER NOT THROWING 1 IN 3 STRAIGHT WEEKS.  ENSUING REDSKINS POSSESSION, R.G. III ROLLS TO THE RIGHT.  HE FINDS SANTANA MOSS FOR THE 6 YD. TD.  TAKE A CLOSER LOOK ON THIS ONE.  AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE ACCURACY.  PERFECT THROW BY ROBERT GRIFFIN III AND A GREAT JOB BY MOSS GETTING BOTH FEET DOWN FOR THE SCORE.  R.G. III PICKS UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF LAST WEEK.  REDSKINS UP 28-3 AT HALFTIME.  3^RD QUARTER, THE COWBOYS BEING EMBARRASSED AT THIS POINT.  TONY ROMO TRYING TO LEAD THE COMEBACK.  FELIX JONES INJURED AND ALL, KEEPS HIS FEET.  KEEPS THEM TURNING.  SNIFFS THE GOAL LINE DOWN TO THE REDSKINS 6.  TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  DEZ BRYANT, DEANGELO HALL.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  YOU TOO.  WHAT’D YOU BRING?  CRANBERRIES, STUFFING?  A LOT OF THAT ALL DAY LONG.  LED TO A DAN BAILEY F.G.  SO NOW THE COWBOYS DOWN 22.  3 POSSESSIONS LATER, ROMO FLUSHED OUT OF THE POCKET.  SO DANGEROUS ON THE MOVE.  SOMETIMES TO HIS OWN TEAM.  THIS TIME TO THE OTHER ONE.  DEZ BRYANT 85 YDS. FOR THE SCORE.  LONGEST PITCH AND CATCH BY A COWBOYS TEAM SINCE ’99.  TROY AIKMAN TO JASON TUCKER, IF YOU’RE KEEPING SCORE ON THAT ONE.  SO JERRY AND THE BOYS ARE DOWN 15.  ONTO THE 4^TH QUARTER.  R.G. III NOT DONE.  3^RD & INCHES, HE FINDS NILES PAUL, THE BACKUP T.E.  HE’S SO OPEN HE CAN FALL DOWN AND ROLL INTO THE END ZONE.  THE COWBOYS NEARLY BOOED OFF THE FIELD.  NOW WITH ABOUT 9 MINS. TO GO.  GRIFFIN III FINALLY MAKES A MISTAKE.  HIS FIRST INTERCEPTION ON THE LAST 2 GAMES.  IT’S CHARLEY PEPPRA.  IT WAS REVIEWED BY THE BOOTH.  THAT IS INDEED A TURNOVER AND THE COWBOYS ARE IN BUSINESS DOWN 2 TDS.  NEXT COWBOYS POSSESSION.  4^TH & 4, JASON GARRETT, WHAT ARE YOU DIALING UP?  HOW ABOUT ROMO TO DEZ BRYANT.  8 CATCHES, A BUCK 45 AND A COUPLE OF SCORES.  HE IS GROWING INTO A MAN FOLKS, RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES.  ROMO WOULD SCORE ON THE 2 PT. CONVERSION AND THE COWBOYS ARE DOWN JUST 7.  NEXT REDSKINS POSSESSION, 4 & CHANGE TO GO.  GRIFFIN TO LEONARD HANKERSON.  HE PICKS UP THE 1^ST DOWN.  COWBOYS HAVE TO START USING THEIR TIMEOUTS TO STOP THE CLOCK.  NOW ON 3^RD & 8 PIERRE GARSON.  IT’S BROKEN UP BY MORRIS CLAIBORNE.  SO THE REDSKINS KICK A F.G.  THEY’RE UP 10.  NEXT COWBOYS POSSESSION, THEY’RE STILL IN IT.  JUST OVER A MINUTE TO GO.  ROMO TO BRYANT.  THIS WOULD GET HIM WITHIN 3 BUT IT’S JUST BROKEN-UP AT THE LAST MINUTE!  GREAT DEF. PLAY BY THE REDSKINS SECONDARY AS MCDEE WILLIAMS GETS HIS HELMET AND HIS HANDS IN THERE.  COWBOYS WOULD GET A LATE F.G.  THEY WOULD MISS IT ON AN ONSIDE KICK; AND SO THE REDSKINS AND THE COWBOYS ARE BOTH 5-6 AFTER THE REDSKINS HANG ON FOR THE …7 PT. WIN.

01:22:59 – NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ NEW YORK JETS

 EARLY ON THIS GAME WAS DOMINATED BY THE PATRIOTS.  BRADY 16-4 IN HIS CAREER AGAINST THE JETS GOING UP AGAINST MARK SANCHEZ.  ON THE JETS 2^ND POSSESSION, MARK SANCHEZ, HIS PASS INTENDED FOR … … IS INTERCEPTED BY STEVE GREGORY AT THE 16.  THAT’S THE 28^TH TURNOVER FOR THE N.E. DEFENSE.  THE MOST IN THE AFC BY THE WAY.  2^ND QUARTER.  PATRIOTS DRIVING.  TOM BRADY BUYS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.  RUNS RIGHT AND HE FINDS WES WELKER FOR THE TD.  PATRIOTS UP 7-0.  YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH READ WHAT REX RYAN IS THINKING BY LOOKING AT HIS FACE.  NEXT JETS POSSESSION, 4^TH & 1.  SHAWN GREEN FUMBLES.  STEVE MCGREGORY RECOVERS…STEVE GREGORY, RATHER, RECOVERS.  N.E.

FOR THE TD.  NEXT PLAY SHAWN O’HARA.  YEA, THAT’S A GREAT PLAY AND FORREST SCOTT OBVIOUSLY GOT LOST IN COVERAGE THERE.  NOT SOMETHING YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR VETERAN LEADER ON DEFENSE.  YEA, AND THEY POUR IT ON 14-0.  3 PLAYS LATER, IT’S A BROKEN PLAY FOR MARK SANCHEZ.  WHAT, WILLIE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?  IT SEEMS LIKE THEY RAN INTO THE FORKLIFT.  NOT WILFORK.  AND HE TOOK THEM BOTH DOWN AND THEY JOGGED THE BALL FROM SANCHEZ.  HE RAN INTO HIS OWN GUY.  WHAT DO YOU DO…HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?  YEA, A LITTLE BIT OF A…  YOU’RE A LINEMAN.  EXPLAIN IT!  I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS LOOKING AT.  HE MUST’VE HAD HIS EYES CLOSED.  NOT ONLY DID HE RUN INTO BRANDON MOORE, HE DE-CLEATED HIMSELF.  THAT’S PRETTY HARD TO DO.  HE SLOBBERKNOCKERED HIMSELF.  THAT’S PRETTY HARD TO DO.  HE SLOBBERKNOCKERED HIMSELF!  DECLEATION!  SO PATRIOTS UP 21-0 AT THAT POINT.  HERE’S THE ENSUING KICKOFF.   JOE MCKNIGHT HIT HARD BY DEVON MCCORDY.   HE FUMBLES.  JULIAN EDELMAN RECOVERS AND TAKES IT IN FOR THE TD.  REX IS JUST THINKING, “THIS ISN’T OUR NIGHT.  THIS IS A ROUGH NIGHT.”  3 TDS. IN 53 SECONDS FOR THE PATRIOTS.  WHAT DO YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION?  I’M SHAKING MY HEAD TOO.  I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD BE THAT CARELESS WITH THE FOOTBALL.  LIKE THE FANS SHAKING THEIR HEADS TOO.  X-REX IN THE STANDS.  NEXT PATRIOTS POSSESSION, BRADY AIRS IT OUT FOR EDELMAN.  A 56 YD. TD.  PATRIOTS UP 35-0.  35 PTS. IN THE 2^ND QUARTER.  THAT TIES A FRANCHISE RECORD FOR PTS. IN ANY QUARTER.  BY THE WAY, THEY HAD THE BALL FOR JUST OVER 2 MINS. IN THAT 2^ND QUARTER, AND SCORED 35 PTS.  PRETTY GOOD PROTECTION.  3^RD QUARTER, LET’S SEE HERE.  THE JETS, ALRIGHT GUYS.  LET’S GET SOMETHING ON THE BOARD HERE, RIGHT?  A PILE FOR A YARD.  LISTEN, THEY’RE SNIFFING THE GOAL LINE.  SO NOW IT’S SANCHEZ FOR DUSTIN KELLER.  THAT’S …THAT’S NO GOOD.  THAT’S A GOOD PLAY BY THE DEFENSE.  GIVE THE DEFENSE SOME PROPS ON THAT ONE.  3^RD & GOAL, SANCHEZ TAKING IT IN HIMSELF.  JUST SHY.  IF THAT’S VINNY TESTAVERDE’ S HELMET, IT’S IN BY THE WAY.  THEN SHAWN GREEN.  THAT’S THE WAY IT’S GONE ALL YEAR FOR THE JETS AND ALL YEAR FOR THE PATRIOTS WHO ARE PUMPED UP AFTER THAT GOAL LINE STAND.  THEY DIDN’T WANT…EXCUSE ME, WE ARE EXPERIENCING A LOT OF TURBULENCE ON THIS FLIGHT.  AFTERWARD BELICHICK & REX, HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  49-19.  49 AFTER THEY DROPPED 59 A WEEK AGO ON THE INDY COLTS.  SO THE PATRIOTS IMPROVE TO 8-3 OVERALL.  THEIR 3 LOSSES HAVE BEEN BY A COMBINED 4 PTS.

AFC NORTH, AT CLEVELAND.  THE STEELERS AND THE BROWNS.  CHARLIE BATCH 5-2 ALL TIME AS THE STEELERS STARTER.  PLAXICO BURRESS.  HE’S BACK.  1^ST GAME THIS SEASON.  PLAX.  PLAYED FOR THE STEELERS FROM 2000 TO 2004.  THIS BALL IS PICKED OFF BY LAWRENCE TIMMONS.  NOT JUST PICKED.  IT’S A PICK 6.  NOT A GOOD START FOR MR. WEEDEN.  THIS IS WHAT THE STEELERS ARE GOING TO NEED UNTIL BEN COMES BACK.  THEY’RE GOING TO NEED SOME HELP FROM THAT DEFENSE THAT’S BEEN VERY GOOD THIS YEAR.  SOME HELP FROM THEIR RUNNING GAME.  GONNA PUT THE BALL ON THE GROUND.  I BELIEVE EVERY PITTS. STEELER R.B. THAT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO CARRY IT TODAY, PUT IT ON THE GROUND.  WE HAVE A STAT THAT COACHES GIVE US THAT TELLS YOU THAT IF YOU HAVE A DEF. SCORE IN A FOOTBALL GAME, YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING GO TO LIKE 60%.  YOU KNOW WHAT NEGATES THAT, PAUL?  IF YOU TURN THE BALL OVER 6 TIMES YOURSELF!  YOUR CHANCES ARE SLIM.  HOW ABOUT 8 FUMBLES TODAY BY THE STEELERS?  THEY LOST 5 OF THEM.  8 FUMBLES.  THEY LOST 5.  ISAAC REDMOND LOST THAT ONE TO JUQUA PARKER, AND BRENDON WEEDEN TO JORDAN CAMERON.  BROWNS ON TOP BY 3.  HOW ABOUT THAT.  4 DIFFERENT RBS FROM THE STEELERS HAD CARRIES TODAY.  ALL 4 FUMBLED.  I’M SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT ME AND TOM PREDICTED THIS.  WE DID.  WE DID.  I JUST SAW IT COMING.  JUST SAW IT COMING.  JONATHAN DWYER KNOCKED OUT BY T.J. WARD.  J’QUELL JACKSON RECOVERS.  HASN’T BEEN A TON OF GREAT THINGS.  EVERY ONE OF THOSE GUYS FUMBLED.  COMING FROM THE BROWNS THIS YEAR.  THEY’RE A VERY YOUNG TEAM, ESPECIALLY AT THE IMPORTANT POSITIONS.  BUT THEY CAME TO PLAY TODAY.  CHARLIE BATCH TO PLAXICO BURRESS.  YOU SEE THE FLAG DOWN.  IT’S ON SHELDON BROWN.  PASS INTERFERENCE .  STEELERS GET THE BALL ON THE 1.  PLAX WITH 0 CATCHES TODAY BUT CERTAINLY A FACTOR ON THAT PLAY.  YEA.  SEE IF CHRIS RAINEY CAN HANG ONTO THE BALL LONG ENOUGH TO SCORE…WHOA!!  TO THE OUTSIDE!  THAT’S AN INTERESTING 1 YD. SCORE.  IMPRESSIVE.  THIS GOT SOME MOMENTUM FOR THE PITTS. STEELERS GOING INTO HALFTIME GETTING THE SCORE, BUT THEY WERE JUST NOT ABLE TO SUSTAIN IT; DUEL, IN FACT, TO THEIR NOT TAKING CARE OF THE FOOTBALL.  BRING HIM TO THE GROUND TOO.  IF YOU’RE A CLEVELAND BROWN DEFENDER, GET HIM ON THE GROUND.  PAT SHURMER THINK HE WAS STOPPED?  I THINK HE THOUGHT HIS FORWARD PROGRESS HAD BEEN STOPPED.  TOUCHDOWN.  STEELERS LEAD 14-13.  3^RD QUARTER.  3RD DOWN & 6.  CHARLIE BATCH LOOKING FOR HIS NEWEST RECEIVER, PLAXICO BURRESS.  EASY PICK BY SHELDON BROWN.  SEE, IF I WAS CHARLIE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOU’RE THROWING TO.  PLAX IS NOT IN THIS MIDSEASON FORM BEING OUT, AND YOU PRETTY MUCH CAN ASSUME THAT HE WAS NOT GONNA HAVE ANY SPACE ON THAT ROSTER TO BE OPEN.  TRENT RICHARDSON 15 YD. CLEVELAND SCORE, AND THE BROWNS LEADING 20-14.  HOW ABOUT THAT?  THAT’S WHAT TURNOVERS WILL DO.  4^TH QUARTER, 3^RD DOWN & 4.  THE 5^TH PLAY OF THIS DRIVE.  BRANDON WEEDEN LOOKING FOR FELLOW ROOKIE JOSH GORDON.  NOT ONLY IS IT INCOMPLETE.  BRANDON WEEDEN SLOW TO GET UP.  TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  HITS HIS HEAD AS HE’S FALLING DOWN ON JOE THOMAS’ THIGH.  PAT SHURMER WOULD SAY HE’S BEING TREATED FOR A CONCUSSION.  THERE ARE SO MANY HEAD INJURIES THAT OCCUR NOT WITH HELMET-TO-HELMET CONTACT BUT WHEN A HELMET HITS A KNEE OR A HELMET HITS THE GROUND.  IT’S TOUGH TO PREVENT.  CRAZY NUMBER OF HEAD INJURIES THIS YEAR.  CHARLIE BATCH DUMPS IT OFF TO CHRIS RAINEY.  HE FUMBLES.  PHILLIP __ RECOVERS THE BALL.  NOW ALL 4 RBS HAVE FUMBLED.  HOW ABOUT 8 TURNOVERS IN TOTAL TODAY?  YES, YES.  UNBELIEVABLE.  BUT YOU HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT TO THIS CLEVELAND BROWN DEFENSE.  THEY WENT AFTER THE FOOTBALL.  YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES TURNOVERS ARE GONNA HAPPEN.  GUYS WILL LOSE A BALL BUT THAT, IT’S CREATED BY GUYS ON DEFENSE ATTACKING THE FOOTBALL.  TRENT RICHARDSON THROWN FOR A 1 YD. LOSS.  LOOKS LIKE LARRY FOOTE RECOVERED A FUMBLE.  YOU KNOW THE PITTS. STEELERS HAD OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS GAME.  THEY JUST COULD NOT GET ANYTHING GOING WITH THAT OFFENSE.  SHOW THE REPLAY PAUL!  WE JUST DID AND THE PLAY WAS RULED DEAD.  SHOW ME ANOTHER ONE.  STEELERS OUT OF TIMEOUTS.  BROWNS KEEP THE BALL.  THERE WASN’T A WHOLE LOT OF OFFENSE IN THIS GAME.  THE STEELERS, 242 YDS.  1 OF 9 ON 3^RD DOWNS.  THE BROWNS HAVE 238 YDS. AND GO 3 OF 16 ON 3^RD DOWNS.  HOW ABOUT THE PITTS. STEELERS..  ALMOST TOUGH TO WATCH.  HOW ABOUT THE PITTS. STEELERS RUSHING FOR ONLY 49 YDS.  AND THE MOST IMPORTANT STATISTIC OF ALL, THEY TURNED IT OVER 8 TIMES.  YEA.

TOUCH.  7-NOTHING.  RUSSELL WILSON HAD A BIG DAY LOOKING FOR GOLDEN TATE.  GOT HIM.  NICE CATCH.  WOW!  EXCELLENT CATCH.  THAT’S PRETTY SOLID RIGHT THERE.  THE SEAHAWKS JUST DON’T TRAVEL WELL.  WHAT A GREAT CATCH THAT IS.  GOOD CONCENTRATION.  HE’S NOT A HANDS-CATCHER EITHER.  HE’S A BODY CATCHER.  YES HE IS.  YES.  RUSSELL WILSON, 21 OUT OF ..  MAKE A PLAY RUSS!  HERE’S A PLAY.  ROLLING OUT TO HIS LEFT.  A LITTLE PATIENCE AND SOME TOUCH.  THE THING THAT I LIKE THAT HE DOES, WHEN HE SCRAMBLES HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS HEAD UP LOOKING DOWN THE FOOTBALL FIELD BUT HE ALSO THROWS ACCURATE PASSES.  HE DOESN’T GET TOO FLUSTERED AND SAY, “OH…”  AND MAKES AN INACCURATE THROW.  HE ALWAYS IS ACCURATE WHEN HE THROWS THE BALL.  GOOD DECISION-MAKER.  HE’S ONE OF THESE GUYS WHO SCRAMBLES TO THROW FIRST BUT WHEN HE HAS TO RUN HE CAN RUN WELL LIKE RIGHT HERE.  PICKING UP 20 YDS. AND HIS DECISION-MAKING, WHEN IT COMES TO THESE SITUATIONS, IS ALWAYS THE PROPER ONE.  LED TO A TD.

RETURN FOR LEON WASHINGTON.  SEAHAWKS BACK ON TOP 21-14.  DOLPHINS WITH IT NOW.  TANNEHILL, PLAY ACTION AND A WIDE OPEN CHARLES CLAY.  WIDE OPEN.  YEA, I WOULD SAY THE PLAY ACTION WORKED, HUH?  I’M TELLING YOU, THE SEAHAWKS DON’T TRAVEL WELL.  RYAN TANNEHILL PLAYING WELL.  1:32 LEFT.  DEVON BESS, 19 YD. GAIN.  DEVON BESS, I BELIEVE, IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED SLOT RECEIVERS IN THE LEAGUE.  KEEP IT GOING TOM.  MORE DEVON BESS.  GIVE IT TO HIM.  I’M TELLING YOU.  I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU TOM.  HE WORKS THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD VERY WELL.  I HAD A CHANCE TO PLAY AGAINST HIM AND HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE QUICKEST RECEIVERS THAT I EVER FACED.  HIS 25 YD. RECEPTION SETS UP DAN CARPENTER.  43 YDS. OUT.  THAT’S WHY THE DOLPHINS WIN BY 3.  AND RYAN TANNEHILL ORCHESTRATED THAT DERIVE FROM DEEP INSIDE HIS OWN TERRITORY AND, AGAIN, AS I SAID, THE SEAHAWKS JUST DON’T TRAVEL WELL.  THEY ARE UNDEFEATED AT HOME THIS YEAR.  5-0.  THEY ARE NOW 1 AND 5 ON THE ROAD, AND IT WAS THE DOLPHINS TEAM THAT WAS REELING GUYS.  YEA, THEY WERE AND THEY LEFT EARLY TOO.

 THEY’VE MADE A PLAYOFF PUSH FACING THE NINERS AND…WELL NOT ALEX SMITH.  IT WAS COLIN KAPERNICK.  IT’S AN INTERESTING WEEK IN THE BAY AREA.  NOT ENOUGH TATTOOS .  SO KAPERNICK GETTING HIS 2^ND STRAIGHT START.  WE SAW WHAT HE DID MONDAY NIGHT AGAINST THE BEARS AND LOOK AT THIS.  MARIO MANNINGHAM.  HE’S GOT A LOT OF WEAPONS AT HIS DISPOSAL.  YEA, HE SHOULD.  HE HAS RECEIVERS GALORE, T.E. IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE GAME, AND ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST RUNNING GAME IN FOOTBALL.  NOW KAPERNICK.  THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW HE OPENS UP THE PLAYBOOK, MOOCH.  WELL THERE’S YOUR ZONE READ OPTION, AND HE CAN JUST SCOOT IN.  HE READS THE DEFENSE.  THEN THERE WAS AN EASY PULL CARRY FOR HIM AND HE JUST WALKS ON IN.  THAT’S WHAT HE DOES BEST.  YEA, HE HAD 59 CAREER RUSHING TDS. AT NEVADA.  4 THIS YEAR.  2^ND QUARTER, TED GINN JR. IN A 7-7 GAME.  YOU GOTTA STOP.  THE THING ABOUT IT, YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRY TO CREATE A PLAY . A PLAY DON’T CARE WHO MAKES IT . JUST RELAX AND ALLOW THE GAME TO COME TO YOU.  NOW DREW BREES TO MARCUS COLSTON.  HE’LL MAKE YOU PAY NOW.  YOU GIVE HIM A SHORT FIELD, DREW BREES IS AS DANGEROUS AS ANYBODY.  AND THE SAINTS HAVE A 7 PT. LEAD.  COLSTON MOST TDS. IN SAINTS FRANCHISE HISTORY.  2 NINERS POSSESSIONS LATER.  KAPERNICK TRYING FOR KYLE WILLIAMS BUT PATRICK ROBINSON PICKING IT OFF.  IT WAS A BAD SNAP FROM CENTER AND HE TRIED TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING, AND HE FORCES THE INTERCEPTION.  ENSUING SAINTS POSSESSION.  JUST A FEW SECS. LEFT IN THE 1^ST HALF!  BIGGEST PLAY OF THE GAME.  AHMAD BROOKS RETURNING IT 50 YDS. FOR THE TOUCH.  LOOK LIKE OLD DERRICK BROOKS FROM FLORIDA STATE THERE.  SAME NUMBER, SAME EVERYTHING, AND BREES GOES, AH, THAT IS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY AND A GIVE BACK.  WE’RE TIED AT 14 IN THE 3^RD.  3^RD QUARTER, KAPERNICK LOOKS SOLID ON THIS FIRST POSSESSION TO DELANEY WALKER.  THE BACKUP T.E. FOR 45 YDS.  PRETTY PITCH AND CATCH ON THIS.  YEA, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT DAVIS BUT THIS GUY RIGHT HERE, DELANEY WALKER, CAN DO IT ALL AS WELL.  AND THEN ROLLING OUT, FRANK GORE OUT OF THE BACKFIELD.  HE DOESN’T DO THAT AN AWFUL LOT BUT HE FINDS THE END ZONE.  I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S MEAN BUT THIS TEAM LOOKS SO MUCH MORE EXPLOSIVE WITH KAPERNICK BACK THERE.  21 REASONS RIGHT THERE.  NEXT SAINTS POSSESSION, BREES.  THIS IS HIS NEXT PASS AFTER THAT BROOKS INT.  DANTE WITNER RETURNING IT.  IT’S THE FRIST TIME THE NINERS HAVE RETURNED INTS. FOR TDS. TWICE IN A GAME SINCE KEN NORTON DID IT TWICE AGAINST THE RAMS IN 1995.  IT’S ARGUABLY THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE LEAGUE.  THEY’RE RANKED IN THE TOP 3 IN EVERY CATEGORY.  THEY GET 2 DEF. SCORES TODAY.  YOU SAW MARCUS COLSTON GET UPENDED ON THAT PLAY.  HE WAS TESTED FOR A CONCUSSION.  HE WOULD RETURN.  NEXT N.O. POSSESSION, BREES TO LANCE MOORE!  WITH THE ACROBATIC CATCH.  CAN WE FIND A CORNERBACK THAT CAN JUDGE THE BALL, JUST ONCE?  I’M SITTING NEXT TO ONE.  BREES …TO JED COLLINS.  GO TO THE PYLON.  SO THE SAINTS BACK WITHIN A TD.  WE GOT A BALLGAME HERE.  BREES LOOKING DOWNFIELD FOR JOSEPH MORGAN WHO MADE A SENSATIONAL CATCH EARLIER.  THERE WAS SOME CONTACT THERE WITH CARLOS ROGERS BUT MORGAN’S THE ONE FLAGGED FOR OFF. PASS INTERFERENCE.  HE ACTUALLY DID A GOOD JOB BREAKING UP THAT INTERCEPTION.  THEY GET THE OFF. P.I. BUT HE DID BREAKUP THE INTERCEPTION.  JOE VITT CAN’T BELIEVE IT.  ONTO THE 4^TH.  BREES TRYING TO GET THE SAINTS BACK INTO THIS ONE.  THROWING IT JUST INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.  JUST SOMEBODY MAKE A PLAY.  YOU SAW THE FLAG.  KIND OF A HOPE AND A PRAYER BUT THERE’S A HOLDING PENALTY HERE.  SO THE SAINTS STILL WITH LIFE.  UNDER 7 MINS. TO GO.  HEY!  THAT’S THE WAY TO …  FORCING ANOTHER TURNOVER.  T HERE’S MOORE.  HE’S DOWN FOR THE COUNT ON THIS ONE.  WAS JUST TALKING JUNK TO THOSE SAME GUYS A COUPLE PLAYS BEFORE.  THEY ORIGINALLY SAID HE WAS DOWN.  JIM HARBAUGH THROWS THE CHALLENGE FLAG AND HE GRABBED A LOOK THERE AS MOORE IS HEADED TO THE L.R.  SO NOW BREES, HE WAS JUST TORTURED ALL DAY BY THIS NINERS PASS RUSH.  ANOTHER SACK AND THEN BREES LOOKING DEEP DOWNFIELD.  BALL’S KNOCKED AWAY ON 4^TH & 11.  THAT’S A GREAT DEFENSIVE PLAY.  AND A FRUSTRATING AFTERNOON AS THE NINERS DO TO THE SAINTS WHAT THEY DID TO THEM LAST YEAR IN THE PLAYOFFS.  TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.  IS THERE ANY MORE FEROCIOUS PASS RUSH GOING ON IN THE NFL RIGHT NOW THAN THIS GROUP LED BY ALDEN SMITH AND … BROOKS, AND JUSTIN SMITH?  THEY’RE VICIOUS AND THEY’VE GOT THE BEST GROUP OF LINEBACKERS IN THE NFL.  A VETERAN TEAM.  THEIR DRAFT CHOICES CAN’T FIND THE FIELD.  THIS IS A SOLID FOOTBALL TEAM, THE 49ERS.

02:05:01 – GREEN BAY PACKERS @ NEW YORK GIANTS

 OH, WE WERE …IT WAS SO BUILT UP.  O.K.  I’LL TAKE WHOOPI GOLDBERG TO BLOCK.  NO MATTHEWS.  NO WOODSON.  NO SAM SHIELDS.  NO GREG JENNINGS.  PLENTY OF ELI MANNING HERE TO AHMAD BRADSHAW.  A GUY WHO DOESN’T PRACTICE BECAUSE OF THAT BAD FOOT.  LOOKS O.K.

RUN AND THE GIANTS UP 7-ZIP.  PACKERS THOUGH COMING RIGHT BACK.  AARON RODGERS.  HE’S BEEN ON FIRE LATELY.  OH MAN.  TO JORDY NELSON.  YEA, THIS IS A GREAT FAKE TO ROGERS BOTH TIMES AS JORDY NELSON PUT THAT THING ON WEBSTER AND FOUND IT DOWN THE RIGHT SIDELINE FOR THE TD.  …OF ALL TIME.  HE BOUGHT A GOOD TIME.  25 TDS. IN HIS LAST 7 PLUS GAMES NOW.  NEXT GIANTS DRIVE THOUGH IT’S ELI.  RUN IT!  DID YOU TEACH HIM THAT DURING THE DIRECTV  ADS?!  WELL YOU KNOW I BELIEVE IN ELI.  THE THING THAT I’M AMAZED THAT HE PICKED OUT A CORNERBACK AND TRIED TO RUN THROUGH HIM.  YEA.  THAT WAS TRUMAN WILLIAMS THAT HE RAN OVER.  THEN 3 PLAYS LATER ELI TO RUBIN RANDLE, HIS FIRST TD. TOSS IN 107 THROWS.  LONGEST DROUGHT OF HIS CAREER.  THAT WAS A WONDERFUL THROW TOO MAN.  OVER THE TOP AND DROPPED RIGHT OUT OF THE SKY INTO BILL.  PACKERS TRYING TO COME BACK BUT ROGERS PICKED BY COREY WEBSTER WHO IS RULED DOWN BY CONTACT, LED TO A TYNES 43 YD. F.G. AND A GIANTS 10 PT. LEAD.  THAT TOE TOUCH WAS HUGE.  THE DOWN BY CONTACT TOE TOUCH.  2^ND QUARTER, GIANTS STILL UP 10.  IT’S 3^RD & 9.  MANNING TO THE 88 CLUB!  MAN, THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.  THIS IS THE GUY THAT MAKES THE N.Y. GIANTS FOOTBALL TEAM GO.  WITHOUT HAKEEM NICKS IN THE FOOTBALL LL GAME IT’S A DIFFERENT TEAM.  PRIME\, TIME TO GO SALSA.  NOW DID I HEAR…THEY PLAYED IT OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER.  DID YOU HEAR THAT?  WHEN HE SCORED A TD. COME ON THE TV, THAT … MUSIC?  OH MY…  YOU DIDN’T LIKE THAT?  I’M JUST..WAS THAT ON TV OR WAS THAT JUST IN THE STADIUM?   EITHER WAY, WE HEARD IT.  THAT WAS WILD.  PLENTY OF NOISE FROM THAT GIANTS DEF. FRONT.  5 SACKS OF RODGERS.  HERE THEY STRIP HIM AND J.P.P. RETURNS IT 10 YDS.  2 PLAYS LATER, HERE’S YOUR GUY AHMAD BRADSHAW.  ONLY IN N.Y. DO YOU GET YOUR OWN MUSIC AFTER A TD.!  THAT WAS UNTOUCHED.   INSIDE HANDOFF, UNTOUCHED.  31-10 AT THE BREAK.  2ND HALF IS MORE OF THE SAME.  ELI, WHO THREW FOR 249 AND 3 SCORES ON THIS DAY, FINDING HAKEEM NICKS FOR 30 YDS.  5 CATCHES, 77 YDS.  THAT 88 CLUB NUMBER RIGHT THERE.  THAT’S A BAD BOY RIGHT THERE MAN.  BIG, STRONG.  A DIFFERENT FOOTBALL TEAM WHEN HE IS ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD.  AND THEN ELI TRYING TO SET THE GIANTS ALL TIME RECORD FOR TD. TOSSES.  HE GETS IT.  NICKS IS…IT’S IN!  IT’S IN.  THAT’S 200 FOR ELI’S CAREER.  200.  YEA.  THERE WAS A CHALLENGE FLAG THROWN OUT THERE.  COUGHLIN WANTED IT REVIEWED AFTER HE WAS RULED DOWN BUT THAT’S A TOUCH.  THAT’S A TOUCH.  SO THERE IT IS.  YOU GOT THE BALL UP CROSS BEFORE HE WAS TOUCHED.  SO ELI BEATING UP ON THE PACKERS.  NO MATTHEWS.  NO WOODSON ON THAT SIDE OF THE BALL.  NO “W” FOR THEM AS THEY FALL TO 7-4.  SAME RECORD AS THE DEFENDING S.B. CHAMPIONS.  SO COMING OFF A BYE WE ALL THOUGHT, BOY, THE GIANTS ARE GONNA BE READY.  THE PACKERS, THEY WON 4 STRAIGHT.  THEY’RE LOOKING SO GOOD.  WHAT IMPRESSED YOU ABOUT THE N.Y. GIANTS DEION?
