GREAT BATTLE. HERE' BROWN HERE PICKING UP...MIGHT'VE BEEN A PUSH. MAYBE. MAYBE. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME. IT'S A 17 YD. GAIN. NO CALL. SO NOW ANTONIO BROWN BEHIND JOE HADEN. DOES A GREAT JOB AT CATCHING UP BUT BALL FALLS IN THE HANDS OF ANTONIO BROWN. YOU CAN SEE HOW HE GOT IN TROUBLE. ONCE AGAIN, EYES IN THE BACKFIELD NOT ON YOUR RECEIVER. GUESSING A LITTLE BIT HE RUNS RIGHT BY YOU. THAT'S NOT HOW JOE HADEN USUALLY PLAYS. EXACTLY. I HATE WHEN GUYS START PLAYING HIGH, GET OUT OF THEIR TECHNIQUE. THAT'S NOT WHAT I USUALLY SEE OUT OF THIS YOUNG MAN. I GOTTA TELL YOU SOMETIMES YOU START TO FEEL YOURSELF. HE DID. YOU DON'T CO CONCENTRATE ON YOUR TECHNIQUE. RESPECT THE GAME. NO DOUBT. BROWN HAD 6 CATCHES, 92 YDS. BUT NOT THAT ONE. THAT'S A NICE PLAY. JOE HADEN KIND OF HELD ON A LITTLE BIT. JUST A LITTLE. THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN .. BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT IN OHIO. 13-3, STEELERS UP AT HALFTIME. 3RD QUARTER, 3RD DOWN & 7. CAMPBELL...HIT BY WILLIAM GAYE. WILL ALLEN RECOVERS. HE THINKS HE'S GOT 6 PTS. RIGHT ABOUT HERE. THE WAY HE'S MOVING HE DIDN'T THINK HE HAD 6 PTS. OH, HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT. NO HE DOESN'T. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU DON’T' HAVE THAT. BROUGHT DOWN AT THE 4 YD. LINE BUT JASON CAMPBELL INJURED THE PLAY. HARD HIT TO THE HEAD. TAKEN TO THE L.R. AND DID NOT COME BACK. INTERESTING WHEN SOMETIMES THEY CALL THE HIT TO THE HEAD AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. WELL I THINK HIS HEAD HIT THE GROUND AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED IT. THE GROUND BEING HARD RIGHT THERE. NEXT PLAY FOR THE STEELERS, ROETHLISBERGER TO SANDERS AND ROETHLISBERGER 22 OUT OF 34. 2 TDS. AND NO INTERCEPTIONS. BRANDON WEEDON BACK IN TO THE GAME. IN FOR THE INJURED JASON CAMPBELL. WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GONNA HAPPEN RIGHT HERE? WHAT DO YOU THINK'S GONNA HAPPEN? OH WELL.. WILLIAM GAYE.

MIGHT BE BACK. OH I DON’T THINK THERE'S ANY DOUBT THAT THEY'RE BACK IN THE MIX BECAUSE THE OTHER TEAMS NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT THEM AWAY. IF THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT THE STEELERS AWAY AND NOW THEY'VE KIND OF FOUND THEIR SEA LEGS WITH THIS NEW 30-SOMETHING KIND OF AN ORIENTED FOOTBALL TEAM AND THEY'RE PLAYING BETTER.

1:35:17;22 - NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
THE OPENING NIGHT OF WK. #12. DREW BREES CAME INTO THIS GAME AND SURPASSED WARREN MOON. 5TH MOST PASSING YDS. IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL, AS MATT RYAN CAME OUT AND SCORED IN THE GAME FOR THE 1ST TIME IN 4 WKS. THIS GAME WAS TIED AT 7 2ND QUARTER WHEN AKEEM NICKS WENT UP HIGH ON...AKEEM HICKS, PARDON ME, WENT UP HIGH ON MATT RYAN. EVERYBODY FROM 49ERS NATION UP IN ARMS WITH THE FALCONS NATION THAT THERE WAS NO FLAG HERE. HOW WAS THERE NO FLAG CALLED THERE? WELL I THINK THERE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND IT JUST.. . SHOULD'VE BEEN? DEFINITELY SHOULD'VE BEEN. IT'S THE SAME PLAY THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK IN THE S.F. GAME. IT WAS CERTAINLY MORE FLAGRANT AND ATLANTA GOT A F.G. TO GO UP 10-7 WHEN JIMMY GRAHAM IS WIDE OPEN. SCORES. DUNKS THE BALL SO HARD THAT THE UPRIGHTS ARE CROOKED. THERE HAD TO BE A TIMEOUT. THEY BROUGHT OUT A STRAIGHT EDGE TO GET THINGS BACK IN ORDER. EVERY GAME THAT JIMMY GRAHAM HAS PLAYED IN, HE'S CAUGHT A TD. AGAINST THE ATLANTA FALCONS. 5 TDS. EVERY GAME AGAINST, THEY WIN, AND THEY DID IT AGAIN TONIGHT. WELL IT'S FITTING THEY HAD A STRAIGHT EDGE HERE. I MEAN ARTHUR BLANK DID OWN HOME DEPOT, RIGHT? I MEAN THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT SORT OF STUFF HANDY, RIGHT? HERE IS THE BIGGEST PLAY... WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EARLY IN THE 4TH QUARTER. THE FUMBLE BY DARIUS JOHNSON. THAT TURNED THE GAME RIGHT THERE. IT WAS A HUGE 3RD DOWN PLAY PREVIOUSLY THAT HE DROPPED. COREY WHITE RECOVERS AS .. IS THE ONE WHO KNOCKED THE BALL FREE. ROB RYAN IS ALL FIRED-UP GIVING EVERYBODY A "YOU THE MAN" POINT. AS THE SAINTS GET THE BALL BACK 17-13. 8 MINS. TO GO. 3RD & 13, DREW BREES GOING UP TOP. IT'S INCOMPLETE AS HE WAS GOING FOR ROBERT MEACHUM. SAINTS PUNT. SO THE FALCONS GET THE BALL BACK DOWN 4 AND BEGIN TO MATRICULATE THINGS. MATT RYAN TO TONY GONZALEZ. THIS IS CAREER CATCH 1300. IT'S A GOOD THING HE DIDN'T WANT TO STAY ON CAMPUS BACK WHEN YOU TRIED TO GET HIM TO STAY AT CAL, RIGHT STEVE? YEA, RIGHT. 5 MINS. TO GO. 3RD & 15. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS PLAY, MARSHALL. IT SHOULD’VE BEEN A DIFFERENT PLAY CALL YOU THINK? I FELT LIKE, RICH, YOU GOTTA JUST GET ENOUGH IN ORDER TO MAKE 4TH DOWN MANAGEABLE SO YOU CAN GO FOR IT IN THAT SITUATION. SO MATT BRYANT WITH THE 52 YARDER. IT'S GOOD EXCEPT SEAN PAYTON CALLED A TIMEOUT ICING THE KICKER, UP 4 PTS. AND GUESS WHAT? IT WORKED BECAUSE MATT BRYANT, AS I SAID, WAS ICED UP, SON. YES HE WAS. EITHER WAY THE DEFENSE HAS TO MAKE A STOP RIGHT NOW. WELL THEY HAD ALL 3 TIMEOUTS AND THE 2 MIN. WARNING REMAINING, AND MIKE SMITH'S DEFENSE COULD NOT MAKE A STOP AS SOON THE SAINTS WERE ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE FIELD. AND THIS WAS PIERRE THOMAS' NIGHT IN A NUTSHELL RIGHT THERE.

LATE GAME HEROICS. OH IT WAS LIKE A COLLEGE ATMOSPHERE BEFOREHAND. THEY'RE JUST GREETING EACH OTHER. HELLO. WHAT IS THIS, FLORIDA ST. AND MIAMI FROM THE EARLY 90'S? GREAT RIVALRY GUYS. TONY ROMO. OH IT IS POPPED AND PICKED OFF BY ANTRELLE ROLLE OFF THE MITTS OF DEZ BRYANT ON THAT ONE. THAT WAS NOT ROMO'S FAULT. AS YOU SEE, RIGHT THROUGH HANDS 1 AND 2. THEY PLACED DEZ IN THE SLOT TO GET HIM MORE ATTEMPTS TO GET INVOLVED A LITTLE MORE AND HE TURNS THE BALL OVER. GIANTS ENSUING POSSESSION. THIS IS CRAZY. VICTOR CRUZ. LOOK A HIM FIGHTING FOR MORE YDS. IS IT, IS HE DOWN OR NOT? THERE'S NO WHISTLE! NO THERE IS NOT! AND THAT'S JEFF HEATH PICK IT UP AND RUMBLE IN FOR THE SCORE, AND THE GIANTS HAVE A DEF. TD. THIS DEFENSE HAS BEEN SO TORCHED. TOM COUGHLIN'S LIKE, "WHAT IN THE HECK HAPPENED?!" THE RECEIVER, JUST GO DOWN. THERE'S NOTHING GOOD THAT YOU CAN DO, YOUNG RECEIVER. JUST GO DOWN. 2ND QUARTER, COWBOYS BALL. THEY'RE UP 7-3. DEMARCO MURRAY. L.T. WHEN THEY GIVE HIM THE BALL GOOD THINGS HAPPEN. YEA, WE TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT WITH THE COWBOYS. WHEN THEY RUN THE FOOTBALL WITH DEMARCO MURRAY, THEIR OFFENSE LOOK VERY GOOD. GAIN OF 30 THERE. 3 PLAYS LATER, ROMO TO HIS B.F.F., PRIME, JASON WITTEN! YOU KNOW THIS GUY WILL GO OWN IN HISTORY AS ONE OF THE BEST T.E.'S TO PLAY THE GAME, AND HE IS STILL ABLE TO GET IT DONE. 14-3 AT THAT POINT, AND DEZ AND MCBRIDE SAY, "HEY, HOW YA DOING." YOU REALLY WANT TO FIGHT... ONTO THE 3RD QUARTER, COWBOYS UP 8. ROMO LOOKING FOR COLE BEASLEY WHO, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IS BECOMING A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THIS OFFENSE, MOOCH. YEA, HE CAN WORK IN THE INSIDE LIKE A WES WELKER TYPE GUY IN THE SLOT. WORK THOSE OPTION ROUTES AND GET OPEN. PROBLEM IS, THERE'S A FUMBLE. TERRELL THOMAS RECOVERED. WILL HILL RECOVERED BUT WE GOT A LITTLE PENALTY ON THE GIANTS FOR UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS. TOM OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T LIKE THAT CALL. THEN 3 PLAYS LATER, ROMO.. GOT ALL DAY TO THROW. TO WITTEN. GREAT PROTECTION. AND WE'VE GOT ANOTHER TD. ROMO'S 200TH OF HIS CAREER AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT'S THE COWBOYS IN A LAUGHER UP 21-6. BUT HERE COMES ELI ON 4TH & 3. NICE PLAY CALL MAN. TO BRANDON MYERS, THE T.E. GETS IT DOWN INSIDE THE 10. GET UP AND KEEP RUNNING! YOU KNOW I HATE THAT PLAY. 27 YDS. ON THE TD. NOBODY TOUCHES HIM. THE GIANTS ARE DOWN JUST 8. VERY INDICATIVE OF HOW THE DALLAS COWBOYS DEFENSE ARE PLAYING. NO ONE TOUCHED HIM AT ALL. BRUCE CARTER AND JEFF HEAP LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE AH.... I GUESS. ALRIGHT, SO ONTO THE 4TH. ROMO LOOKING FOR DEZ. MAKES THE CATCH. IS HE ACTUALLY GONNA MANAGE TO GET THE 1ST DOWN? LOOK AT HIM WORK!! HE'S PICKED OFF!! HE GOES THE OTHER WAY!! IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVER SINCE DEZ CALLED OUT CHARLES JOHNSON, IT WAS OVER. YEP. SO THE COWBOYS WOULD HAVE TO PUNT. LATER ON IN THE 4TH, GIANTS ON 3RD & 8, ELI TO VICTOR CRUZ INSIDE THE 5 AFTER A GAIN OF 22. HE'S ON MY FANTASY TEAM. ARE YOU SMART ENOUGH TO HAVE ACTIVATED LEWIS MURPHY TODAY! WHO? LEWIS MURPHY THE 4TH GRADER? YEA, THAT'S HIS 2ND CATCH OF THE YEAR. OF THE YEAR? 1 CATCH BEFORE THIS GAME. SO THE GIANTS TRYING TO TIE IT UP WITH THE 2 PT. CONVERSION. MOOCH! COACH SAYS GO FOR 2! ANDRE BROWN TIES IT AT 21 BUT HERE WE GO. THE BALL IN TONY ROMO'S HANDS. 3RD & 7, TONY ROMO. PLAY TO DEZ BRYANT. GREAT PLAY DEZ. GOOD ADJUSTMENT ON THAT. 3 PLAYS LATER, 3RD & 5. ROMO TO DEZ BRYANT. BIG PLAY. 9 CATCHES, 102 YDS. FOR HIM. THEN 2 PLAYS LATER 2ND & 10. ROMO TO DUST OFF MILES AUSTIN! WHO?! OUCH, MY HAND'S. BIG PLAY! THAT'S A GAIN OF 17. 2 PLAYS LATER AS THE GIANTS ARE STARTING TO USE THEIR TIMEOUTS ON DEFENSE, ROMO TO BRYANT, INCOMPLETE. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. AND DEZ DID NOT HAVE FULL POSSESSION OF THAT ONE OR IT WOULD'VE BEEN DOWN RIGHT THERE. AND DESPITE JASON GARRETT'S REQUEST, THE BOOTH DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT. NEXT PLAY GOT 3RD & 10. ROMO TO COLE BEASLEY AND LOOK WHO'S MOVING THE CHAINS! 1ST DOWN! HE MURDERED THE SLOT CORNERBACK. SO THE COWBOYS NOW JUST MILK THE CLOCK FOR DAN BAILEY, LOOKING FOR HIS 8TH F.G. IN THE LAST 2 MINS. OF O.T. AND LOOK WHO'S GOT IT? AND LOOK WHO'S BACK IN 1ST PLACE?! WOW.
