DENNIS ALLEN, THE HEAD COACH OF THE OAKLAND RAIDERS, COACHING A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AFTER HIS FATHER PASSED AWAY, AND PEYTON MANNING COMING IN 4 DAYS AFTER CLINCHING THE AFC WEST.  THEY MARCHED RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD AND SCORED A TOUCHDOWN.  30^TH TD. PASS THIS SEASON WIDE OPEN TO JOEL DRESSON.  YEA, 3 SAFETIES LEFT THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, JUMPED ON ERIC DECKER.  PEYTON MANNING PLAY CATCH IN THE RED ZONE FOR THEIR OPENING DRIVE.  BUT THE RAIDERS RED ZONE DEFENSE BEGAN TO SHOW ITSELF IN THIS GAME.  THERE’S LAMAR HOUSTON STOPPING A DRIVE THERE IN THE RED ZONE.  PEYTON MANNING HAD TO SETTLE FOR A F.G. THERE.  IT WAS 10-NOTHING, 3 MINS. TO GO IN THE 1^ST QUARTER AND CARSON PALMER, HE THROWS A RED ZONE INTERCEPTION OF HIS OWN THERE.  CHAMP BAILEY ON THAT ONE.  CHAMP BAILEY IS ONE OF THE BEST CORNERBACKS THAT HAVE EVER PLAYED IN THE HISTORY OF THE GAME.  52^ND CAREER INTERCEPTION FOR CHAMP BAILEY.  2^ND QUARTER NOW.  2 BRONCOS POSSESSIONS LATER.  MANNING NEARING THE RED ZONE HERE.  PLAY FAKE, THROWING IN THE CORNER AND THERE WAS MATTHEW WILLIS ON THE ROUTE BECAUSE DEMARIUS THOMAS WAS OUT OF THE GAME THERE.  YEA, HE WAS IN THAT CORNER OF THE END ZONE RICH.  LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRYING TO THROW A PERFECT PASS BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE RECEIVER.  IT GOT TIPPED RIGHT THERE, HIT ON THE ARM AND, BOY, THAT BALL SAILED SHORT.  WHAT A WONDERFUL INTERCEPTION THERE.  JOE __ WITH THE GRAB.  LAMAR HOUSTON WAS THE ONE WHO SEEMED TO GET AN ARM ON MANNING’S THROWING ARM THERE; AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS UNDERTHROWN.  AND THEN THE RAIDERS MARCHED DOWN THE FIELD.  PALMER TO DARREN MCFADDEN.  DUMPS IT OFF.  MCFADDEN’S FIRST GAME IN 5 WKS., JUMPS INTO THE BLACK HOLE.  IT’S JUST A 6 PT. GAME AT THE HALF.  3^RD QUARTER, LESS THAN 10 MINS. TO GO IN THE 3^RD QUARTER.  MANNING, WHAT A DIME TO ERIC DECKER.  GAIN OF 29.  JUST DROPPED IT OVER JOSILIO HANSON.  HE READ THE BLITZ, MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE.  NICE FADE ROUTE BY THE SLOT RECEIVER.  WHAT A PLAY BUT, AGAIN, STALLING INSIDE THE RED ZONE HAVING TO SETTLE FOR A F.G.  MATT PRADER COMES ON.  MAKES IT A 16-7 GAME.  IT IS 2 POSSESSIONS HOWEVER.  ENSUING RAIDERS POSSESSION, LOOK OUT.  HERE COMES VON MILLER.  SOONER ORR LATER THIS GUY’S GONNA GET YOU.  HE’S HAD 15 SACKS COMING INTO THIS GAME.  HERE’S A SACK, STRIP, FUMBLE, SETTING UP A STORM.  LOOK AT THIS GUY.  WHO DID YOU SAY THIS REMINDED YOU OF?  DERRICK THOMAS.  THE LATE, GREAT DERRICK THOMAS.  SAPP TWEETED IT OUT THE SAME MINUTE YOU SAID IT WHEN WE WERE WATCHING THIS IN THE GREEN ROOM.  AND THAT WAS A BIG PLAY BECAUSE A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER MANNING HANDS IT OFF TO NOSHAWN MARINO, MARSHALL, WHO HAD A CAREER NIGHT.  AND DEION TALKED ABOUT IT.  THIS TEAM, IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE SPECIAL, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THEM AS THE TOP TEAM IN THE AFC, THEIR RUNNING GAME HAD TO GET BETTER.  DEION, THEY GOT…IT HAPPENED TONIGHT.  A CAREER TOPS 32 CARRIES FOR NOSHAWN MARINO.

01:13:05 – DALLAS COWBOYS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS

JASON GARRETT SPEAKING FROM THE HEART ABOUT THE COWBOYS LOSS OF TEAMMATE JERRY BROWN OVER THE WEEKEND.  A MOMENT OF SILENCE TO BEGIN THE GAME.  AS FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME ITSELF, TONY ROMO AND THE COWBOYS NEEDING IT TO STAY ALIVE IN THE NFC PLAYOFF RACE, COMING INTO THE GAME AT 6-6.  A GAME CONTROLLED REALLY BY THE BENGALS FROM THE START.  THIS IS ANDREW HAWKINS.  8 YD. TD.  CINCY UP 7-3.  YEA, THE BENGALS CAME IN WITH A TON OF MOMENTUM.  ANDY DALTON HAD BEEN PLAYING WELL AND, DEFENSIVELY, THEY HAD BEEN SHUTTING PEOPLE DOWN THE LAST MONTH.  AND LOOKING FOR A.J. GREEN, ANDY DALTON PICKED OFF THERE BY BRANDON CARR.  HE HAD BEEN AVOIDING INTERCEPTIONS VERY WELL IN THE … HE HAS, YEA.  TURNED THE BALL OVER A LOT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF GAMES.  BUT THAT’S A GREAT PLAY BY BRANDON CARR JUMPING THE ROUTE KNOWING THAT A.J. GREEN IS ANDY DALTON’S GO-TO GUY AND MAKING THE PLAY.  COWBOYS TAKING ADVANTAGE.  VERY NEXT PLAY, TONY ROMO PLENTY OF TIME.  JASON WITTEN, 25 YDS. TO THE 2.  AND THIS WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE GAME IF YOU ASK ME BECAUSE THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH EVENLY PLAYED.  BUT THE FACT THAT THE COWBOYS GOT PTS. WHEN THEY GOT TO THE END ZONE AS COMPARED TO THE BENGALS WHO WERE 1-4 IN RED ZONE OPPORTUNITIES.  DEMARCO MURRAY SCORED THE TD. FOR THE COWBOYS.  COMING BACK NOW FOR CINCY ON 3^RD & 7.  ANDY DALTON…MAGIC GLOVE.  MAGIC GLOVE.  25 YD. GAIN.  BIG T.E. MAKING PLAYS FOR THEM.  JOSH BROWN F.G. MADE IT 13-10 AT HALFTIME.  INTO THE 3^RD QUARTER, 3^RD DOWN & 1.  ANDY DALTON, __ CHARLES.  ROOKIE T.E., GAIN OF 17.  INJURY ON THE PLAY.  WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  THE ROOKIE 1^ST ROUND PICK OUT OF L.S.U., MAURICE CLAIBORNE.  HELMET-TO-HELMET.  NASTY.  FROM HIS OWN MAN.  YEA, NASTY PLAY.  AS A DEFENDER, YOU KNOW THE GAME IS MOVING FAST BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE YOUR PLAYERS ARE.  HAVE SOME AWARENESS TO NOT HIT YOUR OWN GUY.  KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, RIGHT?  AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP.  YOU KIND OF LOOK TO SEE WHAT YOU HIT.  A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER DALTON SCRAMBLING OUT TO HIS RIGHT.  NO GAIN BUT THE COWBOYS PENALIZED AFTER THE PLAY.  WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  DEF. COORD. ROB RYAN NOT HAPPY.  YELLING AT ANDRE SMITH DRAWS AN UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT PENALTY ON THE DALLAS BENCH.  SEE, THAT’S ..COME ON MAN.  YOU TALK ABOUT PLAYERS CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS.  COME ON.  YOU CAN’T ASK YOUR PLAYERS TO BE DISCIPLINED IF YOU’RE AREN’T.  DEZ BRYANT, BIG HIT BY REGGIE NELSON TO KNOCK THAT BALL LOOSE.  SEE, HOPEFULLY, THEY’LL SHOW THE REPLAY BECAUSE …FLAG ON THE PLAY.  AND IT HITS LIKE WHERE ELSE DO YOU EXPECT REGGIE NELSON TO GET THE BALL?  THAT’S THE ONLY WAY HE WAS GONNA GET THE FOOTBALL OUT OF THE HANDS OF…  JAR THAT BALL LOOSE.  AS A RECEIVER, I’M WITH YOU.  THAT’S FAIR GAME.  FLAG WAS FOR HITTING A DEFENSELESS RECEIVER.  THEN ROMO SACKED BY REGGIE NELSON.  LOSS OF 8.  ARE YOU DEFENSIVE IF YOU HAVE THE BALL IN YOUR HANDS AS WELL?  YOU LET HIM CATCH IT.  THEN YOU GRAB A FLAG OUT OF HIS POCKET AND PLAY FLAG FOOTBALL.  COWBOYS DOWN TO THE 4^TH QUARTER, 19-10 BUT THERE’S ROMO TO BRYANT.  27 YD. TOUCH.  DEZ BRYANT 7 TDS. THE LAST 5 WKS.  YOU’VE SEEN A MUCH MORE CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE FROM DEZ BRYANT WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT.  3^RD DOWN & 5.  DALTON SACKED BY ANTHONY SPENCER.  LOSS OF 10.  IT’S A HUGE GAME FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS.  BIG GAME FOR THE BENGALS AS WELL.  BOTH TEAMS NEEDED THIS.  BOTH TEAMS NEEDED THIS.  19-17. 3^RD DOWN & 5, DEMARCO MURRAY FINDS HIS WAY TO 6 AND A 1^ST DOWN.  SEE, DEMARCO MURRAY, 21 CARRIES FOR 53 YDS.  THAT’S JUST 2-1/2 YDS. PER CARRY BUT IT ACTUALLY GIVES THEM BALANCE.  SOMETHING THEY NEED.  AND THEY NEEDED THIS FROM DAN MURRAY FROM 40 YDS. OUT.  CLOCK’S AT ZEROS AND THAT IS IT.  THE COWBOYS WIN 20-19.  DON’T UNDERESTIMATE HOW IMPORTANT THIS GAME WAS FOR THE BENGALS AS WELL.  THEY DROP TO 7-6, AND THEY FINISH THE SEASON WITH GAMES AGAINST THE STEELERS AND THE RAVENS; 2 TEAMS THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO BEAT OVER THE LAST 3 YRS.  SO THEY NEEDED THIS WIN AS  MUCH AS THE COWBOYS BUT GIVE THE COWBOYS A TON OF CREDIT FOR FIGHTING.  FOR HOW BIG THIS WIN WAS FOR THE COWBOYS, I NEED TO SEE THEM REPEAT THIS PERFORMANCE NEXT WEEK.  COWBOYS, REDSKINS, VIKINGS, ALL NOW AT 7-6.  MORE HIGHLIGHTS RIGHT AFTER THIS.

I MEAN COMBINATION RUN AND PASS BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW …THEY COUNT.  THOSE COUNT.  GREG OLSEN WITH THE 25 YD. TD. RECEPTION THERE.  INTO THE 2^ND QUARTER, OUT OF THE SHOTGUN LOOKING TO PASS.  PLENTY OF TIME.  THEY’RE GONNA BREAKOUT OF THAT POTENTIAL SACK.  OH MY.  THAT’S A LOT OF QB RUNNING RIGHT THERE.  14 YD.

TO STEVE SMITH.  AND ONE THING YOU’LL NOTICE WHEN YOU WATCH THESE HIGHLIGHTS IS HIS RECEIVERS MAKING PLAYS FOR HIM.  AND NOW CAM IS PUTTING THE BALL IN THE PROPER PLACE BUT HIS RECEIVERS ARE ALSO MAKING GREAT CATCHES AND MAKING PLAYS FOR HIM.  YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MAKES?  LOOK, I WISH FOR THE BEST FOR MY OLD TEAMMATE RON RIVERA IN CAROLINA.  I DON’T KNOW WHAT HIS STATUS IS AS THEIR HEAD COACH, BUT THE RESURGENCE OF CAM NEWTON MAKES THAT JOB VERY DESIRABLE IN CAROLINA.  16-NOTHING AT HALFTIME.  3^RD QUARTER.  FALCONS YET TO SCORE.  HERE GOES CAM NEWTON NOT JUST FOR A 1^ST DOWN.  CONTINUES TO GO 72 YDS.  CAM NEWTON TD. RUN.  HERE’S ANOTHER NUGGET FOR YOU, O.K.  DESPITE 50 MILL.

LINE.  NICE TOUCH.  JUST NOT… 23-7.  HOW ABOUT THAT.  TOOK THEM WHAT, 40 MINS. TO SCORE THEIR FIRST POINT.  AGAIN, THIS DOESN’T REALLY BOTHER ME THOUGH.  THIS TEAM HAS JUST WRAPPED UP THE NFC SOUTH.  IT’S A NATURAL LETDOWN SPOT.  THEY DID NOT GO TO PRACTICE TILL WED.  SAY THAT TOO.  NICE CATCH BY JULIO JONES.  TO GET 21 TO THE CAROLINA 22.  WOW.  THE BODY CONTROL.  IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO GO ACROSS THE MIDDLE AND GET YOUR BODY UP LIKE THAT.  JULIO.  4^TH QUARTER, SAME DRIVE, 4 PLAYS LATER 1^ST & 10.  RYAN LOOKING FOR JULIO JONES AGAIN.  HE’S DOING IT AT 6’4 AND 215.  YEA, EXACTLY.  I MEAN HE’S PUTTING IT ON LINEBACKERS AS MUCH AS LINEBACKERS ARE PUTTING IT ON HIM.  ATLANTA COMING BACK A LITTLE BIT NOW.  23-13.  GOING FOR THE 2 PT. CONVERSION.  OH, THE 2 PT. CONVERSION FAILED.  2 PT. CONVERSION FOR THEM.  AND THERE’S ANOTHER FAILURE..  MATT RYAN ON 4TH & 8.  INTERCEPTED BY THOMAS DAVIS.  THOMAS DAVIS HAD ABOUT 400 ACL RECONSTRUCTIONS ON HIS KNEE.  STILL PLAYING FOOTBALL AT A HIGH LEVEL.  GREAT INTERCEPTION BY THOMAS DAVIS.  CAROLINA SCREEN PASS TO DEANGELO WILLIAMS.  PATIENCE BREAKING TACKLES AND THERE HE GOES.  BYE BYE.  53 YD. PANTHER TD.  HAS THE EXCLAMATION POINT.  AND TOM YOU TALK ABOUT CAM NEWTON.  HIM PLAYING THE WAY HE’S PLAYING NOW, WHY THAT JOB IS SO ENTICING.  BUT THEY HAVE A STABLE OF RBS ALSO THAT THEY CAN USE.  IF THEY CAN GET THAT BLOCKING SCHEME, THAT RUNNING GAME GOING; I MEAN THIS TEAM CAN PUT UP PTS. AND THEY JUST NEED TO BRING THAT DEFENSE ALONG.

BEARS AND THE VIKINGS, BRIAN URLACHER OUT WITH A STRAINED HAMSTRING.  ADRIAN PETERSON NEEDS 554 YDS.

LINE.  HOWEVER, 2 PENALTIES ON THE PLAY.  A LOT OF FLAGS HERE.  FIRST, JARED ALLEN HAS CUTLER BY THE LEGS.  GRIFFIN COMES IN HIGH.  GRIFFIN GETS FLAGGED FOR UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS BUT JAMARCUS WOOD IS CALLED FOR HOLDING.  ALL THAT PAIN AND NO PLAY.  SORRY JAY CUTLER.  I KNOW, YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING SHOULD’VE HAPPENED ON THAT.  8 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & 6.  CUTLER LOOKING FOR DEVIN HESTER BUT IT GOES OFF HIS HANDS.  IT COULD’VE BEEN A TD.  CAN’T BELIEVE HE DROPPED IT.  THIS IS WHY THEY SIGNED BRANDON MARSHALL.  BRINGING UP 4^TH DOWN.  4^TH & 6.  THE BEARS GO FOR IT.  NOW THE BALL GOES OVER BRANDON MARSHALL’S HANDS.  CUTLER GETTING WORKED ON ON THE SIDELINE.  SO THERE’S A CHANGE AT QB.  NEXT BEARS POSSESSION, JASON CAMPBELL IS IN.  3^RD & 15.  A BUCK 53 LEFT.  CAMPBELL SAYS, “I KNOW WHAT I’M GONNA DO.  I’M GONNA LOOK FOR BRANDON MARSHALL.”  TOUCHDOWN.  BEARS DOWN 21-14.  SO NOW HERE WE GO.  BEARS ON THE ONSIDE KICK.  AND IT’S KYLE RUDOLPH WHO MAKES THE PLAY.  LOOK, WHEN YOU GET NEAR CHRISTMAS, RUDOLPH IS ALWAYS GOING TO PLAY A BIG ROLE.  VIKINGS WIN IT WITHIN A GAME OF THE BEARS AT 7-6.

CONVERSION.  QB DRAW.  GOT IT.  GREAT CALL.  YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS KIND OF SYMBOLIC OF THE RAVENS THIS YEAR.  THEY’RE A REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM BUT DEFENSIVELY WITH RAY OUT, AND SUGGS OUT, AND LEDARIUS WEBB OUT, THEY’RE NOT THE SAME DEFENSE THEY’VE BEEN OVER THE LAST DECADE.  AND YOU’VE SEEN IT WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT.  R.G. III HEADED TO THE L.R. AND THE GAME HEADED TO OVERTIME.  IN OVERTIME NOW, RAVENS LINING UP TO PUNT OR THEY DID PUNT.  SAM … PUNT FIELDED BY RICHARD CRAWFORD AND THERE HE GOES.  AND IN OVERTIME A LOT OF TIMES …SPECIAL TEAMS CAN CHANGE FIELD POSITION AND GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO WIN THESE GAMES BECAUSE THAT’S ALL YOU NEED.  A BIG PUNT RETURN.  SEE COOK MADE THE TD.
