THE FALCONS COMING IN.  THEY’RE LOOKING TO CLINCH HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.  THEY WOULD END UP DOING THAT, AND CALVIN JOHNSON CAME INTO THIS GAME 182 RECEIVING YDS. SHY OF BREAKING JERRY RICE’S ALL TIME SINGLE SEASON RECEIVING RECORD.  IN THE 1^ST QUARTER, 3^RD & 2.  MATTHEW STAFFORD TO CALVIN JOHNSON.  49 YDS. GUYS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.  WE HAD A FEELING THIS WAS GONNA BE A BIG NIGHT.  YEA.  IT WAS A GREAT CATCH BUT IT WAS ALSO A GREAT ROUTE.  THEY GAVE HIM LIKE A LITTLE RUB ROUTE.  A LITTLE PICK FOR HIM TO OPEN IT UP FOR HIM.  BUT THE LIONS BEING THE LIONS HERE.  … SURE.  HE FUMBLES.  JERRY RECOVERS FOR IT, THE FALCONS.  SO CALVIN JOHNSON DISAPPOINTED AFTER THAT PLAY.  HE DOESN’T WANT A TURNOVER BUT DON’T WORRY CALVIN.  WE’LL BE SEEING A LOT OF YOU TONIGHT.  3^RD & 1.  FALCONS MATT RYAN WAY DEEP TO RODDY WHITE.  HOW ABOUT THAT?  UNBELIEVABLE THROW BY MATT RYAN AND, LOOK, THEY TOOK A SHOT HERE.  IT’S 3^RD & 1.  THEY WEREN’T GOING FOR THE 1^ST DOWN.  THEY WENT FOR THE HOMERUN.  GREAT THROW BY MATT RYAN AND A GREAT CATCH BY RODDY.  ALRIGHT, FALCONS UP 7-NOTHING.  NEXT LIONS POSSESSION, CALVIN JOHNSON WITH ANOTHER GRAB.  18 YDS.  THAT LEADS TO A JASON HANSON F.G.  SO THE LIONS TRAIL 7-3.  AT THAT POINT JOHNSON WAS 112 YDS. SHY OF RICE’S RECORD.  HERE’S THE 2^ND QUARTER.  RYAN TO RODDY WHITE, 39 YDS. FOR THE TD.  THAT’S MY PLAY, SON.  THAT’S MY PLAY.  THAT RIGHT THERE IS GREAT PLAY CALLING BY DIRK CUTTER.  DOES A GREAT JOB.  THAT’S BASICALLY A FAKE TOSS.  WE CALL IT A FAKE TOSS RIGHT GO SCREEN LEFT AND GREAT BLOCKING BY THE OFF. LINEMAN DOWNFIELD.  WELL IT WORKED.  HERE’S MATTHEW STAFFORD.  GUESS WHO HE’S LOOKING FOR?  CALVIN JOHNSON BUT…  NOT GOOD.  THIS IS ONE HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BACK RIGHT HERE.  YEP.  ROBERT MCCLAIN RECOVERS FOR THE FALCONS AND RETURNS IT DOWN TO THE 40.  JOHNSON IS BUMMING A BIT ON THAT ONE.  HE’LL BE ALRIGHT.  THERE’S MATT RYAN TO JULIO JONES THE BACK OF THE END ZONE.  16 YDS.  A LITTLE UNCERTAINTY, REF.  WHAT DO YOU CALL?  AH, IT’S A TD.  WE’RE GONNA CALL THAT A TD.  LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK.  JONES DOES A GREAT JOB OF GETTING BOTH FEET INBOUNDS.  NICE TOE-TAP.  I MEAN THAT WAS A MATTER OF INCHES.  THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT THERE.  THAT RIGHT THERE IS WHY THEY NEED HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE.  BECAUSE YOU DON’T MAKE THAT CATCH AND YOU DON’T DRAG THOSE FEET IF YOU’RE PLAYING AT LAMBEAU.  FALCONS ARE UP 21-3.  42 SECS. LEFT.  CALVIN JOHNSON WITH THE RECEPTION.  22 YDS.  HE NOW HAS HIS 8^TH CONSECUTIVE 100 YD. RECEIVING GAME.  HE PASSES OUR OWN MICHAEL IRVIN, AND HE’S 65 YDS. SHY OF THAT RECORD.  LET’S GO TO THE 3^RD QUARTER.  LIONS FIRST DRIVE OF THE HALF.  CALVIN JOHNSON, ADD 14 YDS. TO THE TALLY.  HE’S NOW 51 YDS. SHY OF JERRY RICE’S RECORD.  AND THAT LED, MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO A __ __ TD. RUN.  SO THE LIONS TRAIL 21-13.  SAME SCORE, STAFFORD TO CALVIN JOHNSON.  AGAIN, 26 YDS.  THIS IS WHERE EVERYBODY’S STARTING TO GET EXCITED.  IT’S A 1^ST DOWN AND JOHNSON IS JUST 25 YDS. SHY OF THE RECORD AT THIS POINT.  THIS IS WHEN WE KNEW IT WAS PROBABLY GONNA BE A REALITY.  WE THOUGHT IT WAS ON THIS PLAY RIGHT HERE.  2ND & 7.  THERE IT IS.  THAT WAS ONLY 21 YDS.  SO HE’S 4 YDS. AWAY FROM THE RECORD.  KEEP FEEDING HIM.  KEEP FEEDING THE GUY.  21-16 AT THE END OF THE 3^RD.  HERE’S THE 4^TH QUARTER.  IT’S TIME FOR MORE FALCONS OFFENSE.  15 YDS. FOR THE 1^ST DOWN TO RODDY WHITE AFTER THE 43 YD. LINE.  FIRST & GOAL.  RYAN TO MICHAEL PALMER FOR THE 1 YD. TD.  THE FALCONS…HE’S DEFINITELY, THE FULLBACK WAS WIDE OPEN COMING OUT OF THE FLAT.  HE WAS LOOKING FOR THAT GUY, THAT BACKSIDE DRAG T.E.  I CAUGHT A PASS LIKE THAT ONE DAY, WILLIE.  SURE YOU DID BUDDY.  IT’S 28-16, FALCONS.  1^ST & 10.  THERE’S CALVIN …AH, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CALVIN JOHNSON.  ASANTE SAMUELS.  INTERCEPTED.  STAFFORD ALMOST RUINED THE RECORD NIGHT.  YEA, SO THE RECORD WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A BIT THERE FOR JOHNSON.  NEXT LIONS POSSESSION, STAFFORD TO CALVIN JOHNSON FOR 26 YDS. AND …THAT’S HISTORY FOLKS.  THAT’S HISTORY.  HE BROKE JERRY RICE, THE HALL OF FAMER’S RECORD.  HE HAS 1,871 RECEIVING YDS. AT THIS POINT.  204 YDS. ON THE NIGHT.  THE FALCONS WIN 31-18.  WHAT A NIGHT FOR CALVIN JOHNSON; AND EVEN THOUGH THE LIONS GET THE LOSS, IT HAS BEEN A DISMAL SEASON, A BIG NIGHT FOR THE CITY OF DETROIT.  THEY HAVE SOME REASON TO CELEBRATE.  225 YDS.

01:14:55 – MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ HOUSTON TEXANS

VIKINGS AND THE TEXANS.  THE TEXANS CAN CLINCH HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE WITH THE WIN AT HOME AGAINST MINN.  LET’S GO BACK TO SEPT. 24 LAST YEAR.  REMEMBER THIS?  ADRIAN PETERSON AT WASHINGTON.  GOES DOWN WITH A TORN ACL.  I DON’T WANT TO WATCH THIS.  AND WHO KNEW THAT A YEAR LATER, THAT HE WOULD COME INTO THIS WEEK WITH A REAL SHOT AT BREAKING THE ALL TIME RUSHING RECORD FOR 1 SEASON.  WOULD’VE NEVER GUESSED IN A MILLION YEARS.  STILL LESS THAN A SEASON LATER.  294 YDS. SHORT OF ERIC DICKERSON’S ALL-TIME MARK OF 2,105.  VIKINGS OPENING POSSESSION TRAILING BY 3.  THERE HE GOES.  NOT 82 YDS. LIKE WE SAW LAST WEEK BUT 20 WORKS.  AND THE HOUSTON TEXANS DEFENSE CAME INTO THIS GAME GIVING UP 93 YDS. ON THE GROUND.  YOU CAN TELL THEY HAD THEIR MIND SET ON THAT LETTING ADRIAN GET THE RECORD ON THEM OR GET CLOSE TO THE RECORD.  MR. CHRISTIAN MOTORING TO THE LEFT.  HE WAS MOTORING.  HE RAN THE BALL WELL; HAD ABOUT 48 YDS. RUSHING, AND ALSO WAS VERY EFFICIENT THROWING THE FOOTBALL.  THIS WAS AS GOOD AS WE’VE SEEN CHRISTIAN PONDER PLAY IN AWHILE.  HE WAS 3 FOR 3 FOR 62 ON THAT DRIVE.  THIS IS __ WALSH FROM 66 YDS. OUT.  JUST ENOUGH.  VIKINGS UP 10-3.  THIS GETS THE #1 SEED IN THE AFC, GUYS.  IF I TOLD YOU THAT A.P. WAS GOING TO BE HELD IN CHECK, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID TO ME ABOUT THE VIKINGS CHANCES TODAY?  NOT VERY GOOD.  WELL.  CHECK THERE.  GOOD EFFORT BUT NO GAIN.  THAT DRIVE ENDED IN A 41 YD. BLAIR WALSH F.G.  VIKINGS UP BY 10 AT HALFTIME.  13-3.  INTO THE 3^RD QUARTER, STILL LEADING 13-3.  A.P. OFF THE RIGHT SIDE.  THIS TIME GOING FOR 21 YDS.  AND YOU ALWAYS…EVERY TIME YOU SEE HIM GET THE BALL YOU EXPECT FOR HIM TO TAKE IT THE DISTANCE.  GOOD TACKLING IN THAT HOUSTON SECONDARY.  DIDN’T ALLOW HIM TO BREAK ANY LONG RUNS.  THAT MIGHT’VE BEEN HIS LONGEST ONE.  INCHING CLOSER TO 2,000.  5 PLAYS LATER JJ WATT DROPS HIM FOR A LOSS OF 3.  ANOTHER BLAIR WALSH F.G. MADE IT VIKINGS 16-3.  NEXT MINN. POSSESSION.  JJ WATT.  IS HE YOUR MVP?  DEFENSIVE MVP?  HE HAS TO BE.  AND EVERYONE THINKS IT’S THE SACKS BUT HE EFFECTS THE GAME SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS.  I WANT TO SAY 14 TIPPED PASSES AS WELL.  YEA, OVER 70 TACKLES.  HAS 20-1/2 SACKS ON THE SEASON.  SPEAKING OF SACKS, DOWN GOES MATT SCHAUB SACKED BY FRED EVANS.  A LOSS OF 14.  YEA, THAT WAS TERRIBLE.  BIG BOY DANCE.  YEA.  LED TO A F.G., 16-6.  MORE ADRIAN PETERSON.  ANOTHER 20 YD. GAIN.  SLASHING AND SPRINTING OUT TO THE LEFT.  25 FOR 86.  208 YDS. SHY OF ERIC DICKERSON HEADING INTO A FINAL WEEK AGAINST G.B.  4^TH QUARTER.  NEXT VIKINGS POSSESSION.  CHRISTIAN PONDER MOVING AROUND A LITTLE BIT.  MOVING AROUND A LOT TOM.  YEA.  MR. CHRISTIAN IS MOTORING AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME.  HE’S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.  HE’S BEEN A BETTER ATHLETE THIS YEAR THANA THROWER. HE REALLY HAS.  TODAY HE PUT IT TOGETHER.  AS I SAID, VERY EFFICIENT FROM THE POCKET.  NOW STANDING ON THE RUN.  TOBY GERHART IN FOR THE TD.  THE VIKINGS GO TO HOUSTON AGAINST THE #1 SEED IN THE AFC AND WIN EASILY.  IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, DEEP INSIDE, IT WAS JUST COMPLETE DOMINATION.  IF YOU SAW THE SCOREBOARD, YOU DIDN’T WATCH THE GAME, YOU PROBABLY WOULD SAY, “WELL THE TEXANS JUST, THEY MADE MISTAKES AND ULTIMATELY THEY BEAT THEMSELVES.”  BUT VIKINGS DEFENSE HELD THE TEXANS TO 187 TOTAL YDS.  2 F.G.S.  ARIAN FOSTER HELD TO 15 YDS. RUSHING ON 10 CARRIES.  THERE WERE 1 FOR 11 ON 3^RD DOWN.  AS GOOD AS CHRISTIAN PONDER WAS BEING EFFICIENT, THIS GAME WAS WON BY THE VIKINGS DEFENSE ON THE ROAD.

01:18:30 – ST. LOUIS RAMS @ TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

RAMS AND THE BUCCANEERS.  RAMS 3-7 OUTSIDE THEIR DIVISION.  THE BUCS HAVE LOST 4 STRAIGHT.  SOMETHING WOULD HAVE TO GIVE IN THIS GAME.  SAM BRADFORD LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE ON A 377 YD. WEEK LIKE HE HAD A WEEK AGO.  HEY, SAM BRADFORD HAD ANOTHER NICE DAY.  2^ND QUARTER, BUCS BALL LEADING 3-0.  3^RD & 15.  THEIR OWN 25.  JOSH FREEMAN LOOKING FOR MIKE WILLIAMS.  INSTEAD, JANAURICE JENKINS PICKS IT OFF AND HE GOES ALL THE WAY, 41 YDS. FOR THE TD.  JENKINS HAVING A HUGE ROOKIE SEASON.  GETS INTO THE END ZONE.  HE’S GOT 4 PICKS THIS YEAR.  3 OF THEM HE’S TAKEN IN FOR SCORES.  RAMS HAVE THE LEAD 7-6.  BUCS BALL NOW TRAILING 7-6.  1^ST & 10, THE RAMS 49.  JOSH FREEMAN LOOKING FOR VINCENT JACKSON.  INSTEAD, JAMES __ PICKS IT OFF.  ONE OF THE 7 RAMS PLAYERS WHO HAD A SHOT AT THE BALL ON THAT PLAY.  JUST SO HAPPENED __ GOT IT.  BALL NOW ON THE RAMS 35 YD.

TD.  BUCCANEERS TRAIL 28-13.  4^TH & 1 ON THE RAMS 5.  HERE COME THE BUCS AGAIN TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THIS.  JOSH FREEMAN ON THE QB SNEAK; AND HE IS STUFFED FOR NO GAIN.  RAMS TAKE OVER AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU SAY, “WELL, YOU’RE NOT GETTING A 1^ST DOWN TAQUAN UNDERWOOD.  IT’S NOT HAPPENING FOR YOU.”  RAMS TAKE OVER ON DOWNS.  4^TH QUARTER.  GREG SCHIANO GOING, “OH BOY, NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE KNEEL DOWN ON THIS ONE.”  BUCS TRAILING 28-13.  STILL 3RD & 10 FROM THEIR OWN 47.  FREEMAN LOOKING FOR VINCENT JACKSON.  WITH SOME TIME IN THE POCKET, ACROSS THE MIDDLE.  RACES FOR A GAIN OF 46 YDS.  THE BALL GOES DOWN TO THE RAMS 7.  HERE COME THE BUCS.  4 PLAYS LATER, 4^TH & GOAL.  THE BUCS DECIDE TO GO FOR IT.  FREEMAN HITS DOUG MARTIN FOR 4 YDS.!  GOOD NEWS.  BAD NEWS, NEEDED 7 FOR THE TD.  BUCS TURN THE BALL OVER ON DOWNS AGAIN INSIDE THE 10.  BUCS HAVE THE BALL BACK AGAIN.  THE RAMS DEFENSE HAS BEEN CLOSING FOR THEM ALL DAY LONG.  DOWN 28-13.  PASS IS TIPPED UP IN THE AIR.  INTERCEPTED BY EUGENE SIMS.  4^TH PICK OF ON THE DAY FOR FREEMAN.  THE RAMS GO TO 7-7 AND 1, WINNING 28-13.  BRADFORD 196 & 2 TDS.

III, BIG STORY ALL WEEK COMING BACK FROM A RIGHT KNEE SPRAIN.  MISSED LAST WEEK.  PLAYING NOW.  ANDY REID, LAST HOME GAME OF THE SEASON FOR PHILA.  2^ND QUARTER, PHILA. BALL LEADING 7-6.  THIS IS 3^RD DOWN & 12, AND THIS IS NICK FOLES LOOKING FOR JASON AVANT.  BUT THAT’S PICKED OFF.  THROWN RIGHT TO LONDON FLETCHER.  I THINK IT WAS TIPPED.  HE WAS TIPPED.  IT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE IT WAS.  WELL, A BIT OF A MEDICINE BALL.  YEA.  VERY MUCH SO.  USUALLY GETS RECEIVERS HURT OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.  R.G. III, A LITTLE QUICK FLIP TO JOSH MORGAN.  BREAKING TACKLES INTO THE END ZONE.  THE REDSKINS LEADING 13-7.  THEY DID NOT WANT R.G. III HANGING ONTO THE FOOTBALL VERY LONG TODAY.  THEY DIDN’T ROLL HIM OUT A LOT.  THEY WANTED TO PROTECT HIM AND NOT EXPOSE HIM AND THAT KNEE.  3^RD DOWN & 10.  GOOD ONE HERE.  LOOKING DEEP TO SANTANA MOSS.  NICE JOB OF GETTING THE FEET IN TOO.  YES.  GREAT CATCH.  GREAT JOB, SANTANA, BUT YOU CAN’T THROW THIS BALL ANY BETTER.  THAT’S BEAUTIFUL.  ONE IN.  A LITTLE DRAG WITH THE LEFT FOOT.  TD. REDSKINS, AND THE REDSKINS ADDING TO THAT LEAD.  THEY’RE GONNA MAKE IT 27-13.  IT WAS VERY EFFICIENT, COURTESY OF R.G. III TODAY.  THIS IS NOT SO EFFICIENT.  NO.  THAT’S PICKED OFF BY COLT ANDERSON.  TAKEN BACK 37 YDS.  WELL IF YOU TOLD ME HE WAS GONNA COMPLETE 16 OF 24 FOR ALMOST 200 YDS., 2 TDS. AND THAT INTERCEPTION; I’D TAKE THAT EVERYDAY AND TWICE ON SUNDAY.  THAT’S EQUATES TO A QB RATING OF 102.4.  YEP, THAT’S PRETTY GOOD.  YEA.  VERY GOOD.  EAGLES NEXT POSSESSION.  FOLES TO LESEAN MCCOY.  GETS A 1^ST DOWN AND PICKS UP 21 YDS. TO THE WASHINGTON 17.  NICK FOLES HASN’T BEEN BAD.  NO.  HE HASN’T REALLY BEEN GREAT BUT HE HASN’T BEEN BAD.  HE HASN’T LOST GAMES FOR THEM.  NO HE HAS NOT.  DEION LEWIS 17 YDS.  THE EAGLES HANGING AROUND NOW TRAILING ONLY BY 7.  DIVISION GAME.  I THOUGHT THE EAGLES PLAYED INSPIRED.  THEY DID.  I MEAN LOOKING TO SEND THE REDSKINS HOME.  3^RD & 6.  R.G. III TO PIERRE GARCON.  HE GETS 5.  THAT’S A YARD SHORT.  REDSKINS FORCED TO PUNT.  R.G. III ONLY 4 RUSHING YDS. TODAY.  EAGLES NEXT POSSESSION, 3^RD DOWN & 1.  LESEAN MCCOY, MAKING IT HAPPEN THERE FOR 6.  AND THIS SHOWS ME A LOT ABOUT THE CHARACTER OF LESEAN MCCOY BECAUSE A LOT OF GUYS,  WITH THE SEASON GONE FOR THE PHILA. EAGLES, AS IT WAS, HE COULD’VE SAT IT DOWN.  AND HE CAME BACK AND PLAYED AND PLAYED HARD.  …HE WAS OPEN.  THEY HAD ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.  23 SECS.  NO TIMEOUTS.  NEXT PLAY FOLES TO MCCOY.  HE GETS 12. .. AND STILL GETS OUT OF BOUNDS.  1^ST DOWN & GOAL FOR THE REDSKINS 5 YD.

OPPORTUNITY.  FOLES NOW PRESSURED WITH 8 SECS. LEFT.  SEE, THOSE ARE THE MISTAKES THAT YOUNG QBS MAKE AND VETERAN QBS MIGHT NOT MAKE.  SO 1 SECOND LEFT BUT A PENALTY ON THE PLAY.  FOLES DID NOT GET THE BALL BACK TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.  CALL FOR ILLEGAL FORWARD PASS.  10 SECOND RUNOFF, AND THAT IS YOUR BALL GAME.  REDSKINS WERE NOT AT THEIR BEST BUT GIVE THEM A LOT OF CREDIT FOR HANGING IN THERE AND WINNING THEIR 6^TH IN A ROW.

01:25:44 – NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ DALLAS COWBOYS

PASS OFFENSE IN A BIG BIG WAY.  SAINTS/COWBOYS IS A GOOD GAME FOR YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE DREW BREES AND TONY ROMO AT THEIR BEST.  AND ALSO DEZ BRYANT PLAYING NOT KIND OF WELL BUT REALLY REALLY WELL.  2^ND QUARTER.  DALLAS TRAILING 7-0.  ROMO LOOKING FOR DEZ BRYANT DEEP.  HE NOT ONLY HAS THE CATCH.  I’LL JUST WALK INTO THE END ZONE.  NO, NO, THAT’S A GREAT CATCH ,GREAT THROW BUT COME ON PATRICK ROBINSON!  SERIOUSLY, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  FINISH THE PLAY AT LEAST MAN.  THIS IS  THE DEZ BRYANT…  IT’S NOT LIKE I’VE SAID THAT BEFORE.  IT SOUNDS LIKE I SAID THAT TO HIM BEFORE, AND I HAVE.  THIS IS HIM.  THIS IS THE DEZ BRYANT THEY THOUGH THEY WERE GETTING..  BUT COME ON.  TACKLE.  CAN YOU TACKLE!  WELL, THAT’S A GOOD POINT BUT,… THAT’S A LARGE MAN.  GREAT ATHLETE.  STRONG.  YEA, O.K.  LARGE NUMBERS TODAY.  9 CATCHES FOR 224 YDS.  I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, HE’S BALLING.  HE’S BALLING.  YEA, HE IS.  THAT’S 7 STRAIGHT GAMES WITH A TD., I BELIEVE, IF I’M NOT MISTAKE.  YEP.  HALFTIME SCORE, THE SAINTS ON TOP, 17-14.  3^RD QUARTER.  TIED AT 17.  DEMARCO MURRAY PUTS IT ON THE TURF.  CURTIS LOFTON POUNCES ON IT.  TURNOVER REVIEWED BY THE REPLAY BOOTH, AND WE SEE THAT MURRAY’S LEFT KNEE STILL NOT DOWN.  RULING ON THE FIELD CONFIRMED.  LED TO APPEAR THOMAS TOUCHDOWN CATCH AND THE SAINTS LED 24-17.  THAT CLOSE.  VERY CLOSE.  INCHES.  INTO THE 4^TH QUARTER.  3^RD DOWN & 9.  9^TH PLAY OF THIS DRIVE.  DREW BREES HITTING MARCUS COLSTON IN STRIDE, AND NOW THE RACE IS ON.  YES, IT IS.  MATT, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT GETTING SOMEONE, KNOCK SOMEONE DOWN, TACKLE SOMEBODY.  __ PEPPER NEED TO MAKE THAT TACKLE BUT MARCUS COLSTON IS NOT GONNA OUTRUN MANY DEFENDERS BUT HE’S A BIG GUY, AND HE WILL GO OVER THE MIDDLE AND MAKE CATCHES.  60 YDS. TO THE 3.  DREW BREES, DAVID THOMAS WIDE OPEN.  THIS WAS LIKE PLAYING MADDEN FOOTBALL.  I WANT TO SAY …DEFENSE IS SET.  THIS GAME SET DEFENSES BACK 100…BUT THE OFFENSES WERE SO GOOD THAT IT’S TOUGH TO KIND OF PUT IT IN THAT CATEGORY.  SAINTS WERE UP 14.  MORE DEZ BRYANT.  41 YDS.  AT WHAT POINT DO YOU GIVE YOUR QB SOME HELP OVER THE TOP WITH DEZ BRYANT?  AFTER THE FIRST CATCH.  AT WHAT POINT?!  SEE, YOU GET A LITTLE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT DEZ BRYANT, THEN DWAYNE HARRIS SNEAKS UP ON YOU.  THAT’S FINE BUT IF YOU’RE GONNA BEAT ME, BEAT ME WITH DWAYNE HARRIS, NOT DEZ BRYANT.  PLEASE.  31-24, COWBOYS TRAILING BY 7.  1:54 LEFT.  BREES’ TURN.  3^RD DOWN & 10.  BREES TO MARCUS COLSTON.  THAT’S ONLY FOR 9 YDS.  YD. SHORT.  4^TH DOWN.  THE SAINTS DECIDE TO PUNT.  55 SECS. LEFT.  VERY UNSAINT-LIKE.  TONY ROMO STEPPING UP AND FINDING JASON WITTEN, 19 YD. GAIN TO THE SAINTS 19.  I GUESS I CAN SWAY THAT THIS GAME SET DEFENSE BACK 100 YEARS.  UPON FURTHER REVIEW…  UPON FURTHER REVIEW.  2 TEAMS WITH AN ALLERGY TO DO THINGS.  21 SECS. LEFT.  ROMO, MILES AUSTIN 19 YD. SCORE.  WE ARE ALL TIED AT 31.  SO THAT’S 7 TD. PASSES BETWEEN THE 2 QBS WITH ZERO INTERCEPTIONS.  LET’S GO TO OVERTIME.  WHY NOT?  IN OVERTIME, SAINTS FIRST POSSESSION FOLLOWING A COWBOY PUNT.  THIS IS 2^ND & 9.  BREES, MARCUS COLSTON.  HIT AND FUMBLES.  THE BALL SQUIRTS FREE TOWARD THE END ZONE.  JIMMY GRAHAM,.  JIMMY ON THE SPOT.  NICE HUSTLE PLAY.  YOU KNOW SOMETHING, THAT IS A PLAY THAT THEY ACTUALLY RUN IN PRACTICE.  PLAY REVIEWED.  IT APPEARS TO MAKE A FOOTBALL MOVE…AND MAURICE CLAYBORNE STRIPS IT.  GRESHAM IS RULED TO HAVE RECOVERED THE FUMBLE.   ONLY THE FUMBLE IS REVIEWABLE.   NOT THE RECOVERY.  YEA.  ONLY THE FUMBLE IS REVIEWABLE, NOT THE RECOVERY.  THE RULING ON THE FIELD CONFIRMED.  WOW.  DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S COMING UP NEXT, RIGHT?  F.G.  RIGHT.  FROM 20 YDS. OUT.  GARRETT HARTLEY SAYS, “I’VE GOT THIS ONE.”  I WOULD HOPE SO.  THIS IS AN EXTRA POINT. FROM THE LEFT HASH THOUGH.  DOESN’T MAKE IT ANY TOUGHER.  DO YOU REALIZE THAT THERE WAS OVER 1,000 YDS. OF COMBINED OFFENSE TODAY?  1,000  YDS.  HOW ABOUT 90… 96 QB ATTEMPTS OR PASSING ATTEMPTS AND NO PICKS.  NO PICKS.  WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DALLAS COWBOY DEFENSE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SO GOOD WITH THE PRESSURE.  0 SACKS.  DREW BREES DROPPED BACK 53 TIMES TODAY.  WAS SACKED 0 TIMES.  AND THAT’S WHAT…DOES THAT PUT A LITTLE BIT OF PRESSURE ON YOUR SECONDARY?  YEA, IT DOES.  AND MY MAN HEATH MILLER MADE A GREAT POINT SAYING THAT DEMARCUS WARE NEEDED TO STEP HIS GAME UP, AND HE WAS ABSENT.  INVISIBLE FOR THIS GAME.  THE COWBOYS SAW THIS GAME FROM ABOUT A MONTH AGO SAYING, “O.K., WE DO HAVE THE SAINTS 2^ND TO LAST GAME, AND THAT IS NOT A GUARANTEED VICTORY.”  THIS IS A TEAM YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY WHEN YOU NEED A MUST WIN.

LATER, NO, WE WON’T STOP CALLING HIM MONTEL WILLIAMS OR MONTEL JORDAN.  HE HAS MADE A NAME OF HIS OWN.  THAT LED TO A 35 YD. SCOBEE F.G.  PUT THE JAGUARS UP 13-3.  2^ND QUARTER NOW, PATRIOTS TRAIL 13-6.  2^ND & 10 FROM THE JAGUARS 14.  BRADY LOOKING TO DANNY WOODHEAD, WHO STAYS UP, GETS INTO THE END ZONE.  THE 14 YD. TD.  THAT TIES THE GAME AT 13.  3^RD QUARTER, PATRIOTS LEAD 16-13.  BRADY LOOKING DEEP FOR WES WELKER.  WELKER HAD A HUGE GAME.  HE MAKES A GREAT GRAB FOR 25 YDS. DOWN TO THE JAGUARS 17.  LOOKED LIKE THAT PLAY THAT WELKER DROPPED IN THAT S.B. AGAINST THE GIANTS.  4^TH QUARTER, SAME DRIVE.  5 PLAYS LATER, 3^RD & GOAL FROM THE 2.  BRADY, BACK TO WELKER.  INTO THE END ZONE.  2 YD. TD.  PATS UP BY 10.  BUT THIS JAGUARS TEAM HAS NO QUIT IN THEM.  HERE’S THEIR NEXT DRIVE.  3^RD & 5 FROM THEIR OWN 40.  HENNE LOOKING FOR JUSTIN BLACKMON.  18 YDS.  PICKS UP THE 1^ST DOWN.  DOWN TO THE PATRIOTS 42.  THAT WOULD LEAD TO A F.G.  SO IT’S 23-16.  NEXT JAGUARS DRIVE, HENNE SACKED BY DANTE HIGHTOWER FOR A 5 YD. LOSS.  THEY’RE GONNA HAVE TO GO FOR IT.  4^TH & GOAL FROM THE 10.  HENNE BACK TO PASS.  HE GETS HIT.  PASS IS TIPPED.  PICKED OFF BY PATRICK CHUNG.  THE 7^TH RED ZONE TAKEAWAY OF THE YEAR LEAVES THE NFL.  PATRIOTS TAKE OVER ON THEIR OWN 14 AFTER A PENALTY BRINGS IT BACK.  SO THE PATRIOTS TRYING TO RUN THE CLOCK OUT HERE.  3^RD & 7 FROM THEIR OWN 37.  BRADY IS SACKED.  HE LOSES 10 YDS.  SO THE PATS PUNT.  THE JAGUARS HAVE 1 LAST CHANCE.  3^RD & 10 FROM THE PATS 13.  HENNE THROWS IT UP FOR GRABS.  REALLY UP FOR GRABS.  PATRICK CHUNG COMES DOWN WITH IT AND THEY HOLD ONTO WIN 23-16.  BRADY 267 WITH 2 TDS. TO GO WITH THOSE 2 PICKS.

IN HEINZ FIELD HISTORY.  NEXT STEELERS POSSESSION.  SAME SCORE.  2^ND & 6.  RASHARD MENDENHAHL WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED O.K.  RUNS FOR A LOSS OF 2.  TACKLED BY CHRIS CROCKER.  INJURY ON THE PLAY.  IT’S HEATH MILLER.  WATCH IT AGAIN.  MILLER’S RIGHT KNEE TAKES THAT SHOT FROM CROCKER.  MILLER HAD TO BE HELPED OFF THE FIELD.  HE WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE GAME FOR THE STEELERS.  2 PLAYS LATER IT’S 4TH & 4.  A BUCK 51 TO PLAY.  SHAWN SUISSEM FROM 53 YDS.   IT’S UP AND IT’S, IT’S…JUST NOT GOOD.  GAME IS STILL TIED AT 10.  NOW AFTER A BENGALS 3 & OUT, STEELERS BALL.  THIS COULD BE STEELERS MAGIC.  ROETHLISBERGER LOOKING FOR MIKE WALLACE.  INSTEAD OVERTHROWS HIM.  REGGIE NELSON PICKS IT OFF.  RETURNS IT 10 YDS.

POSSESSION IS TERRELL PRIOR IN AT QB.  CARSON PALMER AT WIDE RECEIVER.  SO PRIOR THROWS IT TO CARSON, WHO THROWS IT BACK TO TERRELL PRIOR, WHO BREAKS A TACKLE AND TAKES IT 22 YDS.

ALL DAY FOR THE RAIDERS.  2^ND QUARTER.  PANTHERS LEADING 7-3.  CAM NEWTON DROPS BACK.  SACKED BY DESMOND BRYANT AND TOMMY KELLY.  HE LOSES 9.  CAM NEWTON DOES NOT APPRECIATE THE RAIDERS CELEBRATION HERE.  A FIGHT ENSUES ON THE FIELD.  LOOKS LIKE A BIG DONNYBROOK.  WATCH IT AGAIN.  NEWTON CLEARLY KICKS TOMMY KELLY BUT IT’S KELLY WHO GETS CALLED FOR UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS.  GRAHAM GANO WOULD MISS A 48 YD. F.G. 9 PLAYS LATER.  HIS FIRST MISS OF THE SEASON.  PANTHERS STILL UP BY THE SCORE OF 7-3.  SO HERE’S MATT LEINART IN FOR CARSON PALMER TO DENARIUS MOORE EXCEPT, NO.  LUKE KUECHLY PICKS IT OFF!  THE ROOKIE OUT OF B.C.

PASSES COMING UP.  1^ST TD. RUN.  7-NOTHING.  THEY SAID WHO’S HIGHLIGHT THIS WAS.  G.B. PACKER HIGHLIGHTS BECAUSE WASN’T ANY TENN. TITAN.  RANDALL COBB, GREAT CATCH.  HOW ABOUT THE THROW BY AARON RODGERS?  HE’S MAKING THAT LOOK EASY.  YEA.  HE DOES A GREAT JOB THROWING THE BALL WITH ACCURACY ON THE RUN.  BETTER ATHLETE THAN I THINK MOST PEOPLE WANT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR.  COBB’S 8TH TD. PASS OF THE YEAR.  MEANWHILE, JAKE LOCKER STRUGGLING LOOING FOR KENNY BRITT.  PICKED OFF BY SAM SHIELDS.  YEA, THAT’S WHAT THIS G.B. SECONDARY HAS.  A LOT OF GUYS BACK THERE THAT ARE BALL HAWKERS.  THEY MAKE PLAYS ON THE BALL.  GREAT JOB BY SAM SHIELDS.  ALRIGHT, HOW ABOUT ANOTHER PICK?  LOOKING FOR DAMIAN WILLIAMS.  THAT’S NOT NECESSARILY HIS FAULT.  A LITTLE BEHIND HIM . PICKED OFF BY ERIC WALDEN.  YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?  THAT’S THE INTERCEPTION THAT COMES FROM A TEAM THAT HAS BASICALLY GIVEN UP ON THE REST OF THE YEAR.  2^ND QUARTER.  WOW.  PACKERS UP 17-NOTHING.  THIS IS 3^RD & 1.  AARON RODGERS HAS A WIDE OPEN GREG JENNINGS.  WHOA!!  JUST MISSED HIM.  SEE, I CAN’T SAY THAT’S AARON’S FAULT BECAUSE A HEALTHY GREG JENNINGS SHOULD GET TO THAT FOOTBALL.  I THINK HE’S USED TO THE FASTER GREG JENNINGS.  GREG JENNINGS COMING BACK FROM INJURY.  3^RD QUARTER, PACKERS UP 20-NOTHING.  RANDALL COBB FROM HIS OWN 4.  EVENTUALLY.  HE HAS A FOOT OUT OF BOUNDS THERE GUYS.  I BELIEVE THAT GIVES THEM THE BALL AT THE 40 YD. LINE.  YEA, IT DOES.  RIGHT.  THAT COUNTS AS THE BALL GOING OUT OF BOUNDS.  EXACTLY.  SMART MOVE.  THAT’S ONE OF THOSE SCENARIOS THAT COACHES TELL YOU ABOUT BUT YOU DON’T A LOT OF TIMES SEE THE PLAYERS EXECUTE.  THAT’S A GREAT..PACKERS START ON THE 40.  THERE’S A WIDE OPEN RANDALL COBB AT THE END.  31 YD. GAIN.  THE PACKERS MOVING IN TO TITANS TERRITORY.  TALENTED AND SMART.  THAT’S A GOOD COMBINATION.  IT IS GOOD.  I SEE A LOT OF THAT YOUNG MAN IN MYSELF BACK THERE.  DUANE HARRIS SEES THE END ZONE THERE FROM 7 YDS. OUT.  PACKERS OFF AND RUNNING 27-NOTHING.  HE JUST BARELY GOT ENOUGH OF THE LAMBEAU LEAP.  4^TH QUARTER, PACKERS UP 34-NOTHING.  AARON RODGERS STILL IN THE GAME, AND HE’S STILL THROWING GUYS. . YEA, THAT’S QUICK PASS BUT BEHIND THAT OFF. LINE I WOULD THINK THAT MIKE MCCARTHY WOULD GET AARON RODGERS OUT OF THE GAME SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.  HE’S BEEN BANGED AROUND ALL SEASON LONG BEHIND THAT O-LINE.  SO LOOKS LIKE HE DID GET TO THE SIDELINES BEFORE.  THEY NEED TO WORK ON THE RUNNING GAME MORE THAN THE PASSING GAME.  SO WHY NOT GET THAT RUNNING GAME GOING?  RUN SOME PLAYS THAT YOU WANT TO WORK ON INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT’S A GUARANTEE, AND THAT’S AARON RODGERS THROWING THE FOOTBALL.  THE PACKERS THROWING THE FOOTBALL VERY WELL TODAY.  AARON RODGERS, ANOTHER VERY STRONG AFTERNOON. THE LAST 10 GAMES, 25 TDS. AND ONLY 4 INTERCEPTIONS.

PUNT RETURN FOR A TD.  CHARGERS LEADING 7-3.  TONY SPARANO SAYING, “O.K., WE WANT TO GO FORWARD AND NOT GET SACKED.  THAT’S SOMETHING THE JETS WOULD HAVE TROUBLE WITH MOST OF THE DAY, BUT NOT HERE.  JEREMY CURLY DIRECT SNAP ON THE WILD CAT.  LOOK AT THIS!  HE COULD BE THE JETS BEST QB!  HE FINDS CLYDE GATES DEEP RIGHT FOR A 42 YD. COMPLETION.  JETS BALL.  THE CHARGERS 11.  CURLY, MORE YDS.

ON THE FIELD. CALLED A BACK SHOULDER FLIP.  UNLOCK THAT THING MOOCH.  I DON’T THINK I CAN DO THAT.  HE HAD TO REHEARSE THAT THING.  HEY, EVERY SCORE, ONCE AGAIN, IS REVIEWED AND THEY CAN…HOWEVER THE TD.

01:56:51 – SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

JIM HARBAUGH ON HIS 49^TH BIRTHDAY TRYING TO CLINCH THE NFC WEST FOR A 2^ND STRAIGHT YEAR.  WELL HERE’S THE GUY YOU’RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH.  I’VE BEEN MOTIVATING THE TEAM.  CONSULTANT TO THE STARS.  OPENING SEATTLE DRIVE.  MARSHAWN LYNCH, BEAST-MODE MARSHALL.  THIS IS WHAT THIS GUY DOES.  I MENA PEOPLE DON’T GIVE HIM ENOUGH CREDIT.  HE DOESN’T GET RECOGNIZED WITH THE REST OF THE BACKS IN THE LEAGUE.  BUT, MAN, HE SHOULDERED THE LOAD UNTIL THIS OFFENSE CAME AROUND.  YEA, THEY’RE SERVING SKITTLES AT HARBAUGH’S BIRTHDAY PARTY APPARENTLY.  CARLOS ROGERS, THIS IS NOT AT THE TOP OF HIS RESUME REEL DEION.  IT HAPPENS TO ALL THE CORNERS.  I MEAN YOU’RE GONNA GET BEAT SOMETIME OR ANOTHER BUT TONIGHT THEY WENT AT HIM ;AND THAT’S THE QUICKEST WAY TO GO AT A GOOD CORNER.  THE BEST THING TO DO IS JUST GO RIGHT AT HIM.  LET HIM KNOW FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME, WE ARE COMING AT YOU.  IF YOU’RE THE BEST, WE’RE GONNA DESTROY THE BEST.  THEN WE’RE GONNA GO AT THE REST.  YEA, THAT TD.

BUT THEY DIDN’T GET ENOUGH PTS.  NEXT SEATTLE DRIVE, RUSSELL WILSON BEING CHASED BY ALDON SMITH WHO’S CHASING HISTORY TRYING TO PASS THAT MICHAEL STRAHAN SACK MARK.  LOOK AT THE POISE AND LOOK AT, HE HAS THE FOOTBALL IN THE RUNNING POSITION.  YOU SEE MOST QBS HOLDING THE BALL PREPARED TO THROW IT.  4 PLAYS LATER, WATCH THIS.  DESEAN GOLDSMAN PICKS UP BALDWIN.  THEN CHRIS … COMES IN TO CLEAN IT UP.  I DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT.  N.W.A. WRESTLING.    BECAUSE IF YOU DROP HIM AND HE LAND ON HIS FEET HE CAN RUN.  RIGHT.  WELL I THINK THEY CALLED IT ON CULIVER FOR THE 2^ND HIT.  RIGHT!  EXACTLY.  I’M JUST TELLING YOU.  THAT’S WHAT IT SAYS ON THE STAT SHEET.  8 PLAYS LATER, WILSON TO ANTHONY MCCOY.  THE SEAHAWKS UP 28-3.  REMEMBER LAST YEAR IT WAS THE NINERS THAT BUILT UP A 31-3 LEAD IN N.E. ON SUNDAY NIGHT.  HERE, THEY’RE GETTING…  HIS NAME IS RUSSELL.  THAT’S THE ONLY FUMBLE HE HAD ALL NIGHT RIGHT THERE WAS HIS MOUTHPIECE.  LAST NAME WILSON.  3^RD QUARTER, IT’S 28-6.  KAPERNICK, AND THIS IS UGLY.  THROWING IT FOR ONE OF THE S.B. HEROES A YEAR AGO FROM THE GIANTS, MARIO MANNINGHAM, AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.  KNEES TAKEN OUT.  AND LOSES THE BALL.  IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THAN THE HIT WHEN HE PICKED HIM UP.  WELL THAT’S WHAT JAMES HARRISON SAID THIS WEEK.  HE SAID, “I’M GONNA GO LOW IF GUYS ARE GONNA FINE ME FOR GOING HIGH.”  PRAYING FOR YOU MAN.  HE WAS DONE FOR THE GAME WITH A KNEE INJURY.  NEXT SEAHAWKS DRIVE 3^RD & GOAL.  WILSON TO DOUG BALDWIN WHO PLAYED HIS COLLEGE BALL UNDER HARBAUGH.  THAT’S A PLAY RIGHT THERE.  THAT’S AN INCREDIBLE PLAY RIGHT THERE.  AND THE THROW WAS PERFECT.  LOOK, THAT’S HOW I POINT THE BALL.  LET’S GET BOTH OF THEM DOWN THERE.  AND IN TOUGH WEATHER IN A HARD SITUATION.  THAT’S INCREDIBLE.  STILL ROOTING FOR THE VISITING TEAM.  CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS.  7-0 AT HOME THIS YEAR.  42-13 WINNERS.  THEY HAVE PUNCHED THEIR POST-SEASON TICKET.  AT WORSE THEY WILL BE A 5 SEED.  FOLKS, THEY COULD EVEN, IF THINGS SHAKE DOWN THE RIGHT WAY FOR THEM, THEY COULD BE THE 2 SEED AND GET A BYE.
