1:29:34;03 - GREEN BAY PACKERS @ CHICAGO BEARS
THESE 2 STORIED RIVAL TEAMS GOING AT IT. ONCE AGAIN, NFC NORTH AT STAKE. RODGERS, LAST TIME HE SAW THE PACK KNOCKED OUT IN THE 1ST QUARTER BROKEN COLLARBONE. 1ST QUARTER, MARCHES DOWN THE FIELD HERE ON 3RD & GOAL. LOOKING FOR JAROD BOYKIN BUT FINDING CHRIS CONTE FOR THE INT! GREAT PLAY BY CONTE. CAME OFF HIS RECEIVER. MADE THE PLAY ON THE PERSPECTIVE RECEIVER. SO HERE COMES JAY CUTLER LOOKING FOR BRANDON MARSHALL! 37 YDS. ON THE PITCH AND CATCH AND THE TIPPY-TOE ON THE SIDELINE. GREAT THROW AND CATCH. THEN CUTLER TO MATT FORTE. TALK ABOUT RBS HAVING GREAT YEARS, L.T. YES, VERSATILE R.B.'S. BEST ALL-AROUND AROUND BACKS WE HAVE IN THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE. SO CHICAGO CAPITALIZES ON THE EARLY TURNOVER. GOES UP 7-ZIP. 2ND QUARTER, RODGERS LOOKING FOR HIS MR. RELIABLE, JORDY NELSON. OFF HIS MITTS AND INTO THE MITT OF TIM JENNINGS, AND THAT BANGED-UP BEARS DEFENSE FORCES A COUPLE OF TURNOVERS. BALL WAS THROWN JUST A LITTLE BIT BEHIND AND JORDY NELSON WAS UNABLE TO MAKE THAT CATCH. BEARS WILL BE FORCED TO PUNT, AND THEN THE CRAZIEST PLAY OF THE GAME. PACKERS DRIVING. RODGERS, BALL FELL OUT OF HIS HANDS, AND JAROD BOYNKIN PICKS IT UP. SIDELINES YELLING AT HIM, "GO RUN WITH IT!! RUN WITH IT!!" AMAZING. HE DOES INTO THE END ZONE. SO THE REFEREES LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND THEY SAY, "THAT'S A TOUCHDOWN." OH BOY. SO OF CORUS EVERY SCORING PLAY'S REVIEWED. THE BALL WAS FUMBLED OUT OF HIS HAND, THEN KNOCKED FORWARD AS HE WAS FOLLOWING THROUGH. SO IT WAS INDEED A FUMBLE. THE CORRECT CALL WAS MADE ON THE FIELD AS BOYKIN...HE'S JUST WALKING AROUND. NOBODY ON THE FIELD, 22 PLAYERS REALIZED THAT WAS A FUMBLE. HE HAD TO HEAR IT FROM THE SIDELINE. SO THAT IS A HUGE... HUGE PLAY. THE PACKERS UP 13-7 AT THE BREAK. 3RD QUARTER SAME SCORE. BUT THEY GET THE BALL TO START THE 2ND HALF. THEY HAVE TO PUNT IT AND WHO'S THIS?! THE BEST EVER, EVER, EVER. THE BEST OF ALL TIME AND HE'S ANGRY THAT HE DID NOT GET A PRO BOWL BERTH. HE'S TRYING TO GET A PLAYOFF BERTH. 49 YDS. ON THAT SCAMPER. SETS UP THE BEARS IN GREAT FIELD POSITION. 5 PLAYS LATER IT'S MATT FORTE. WE SAW HIM THROUGH THE AIR EARLIER. THIS TIME ON THE GROUND. NICE CUTBACK RIGHT THERE AND ABLE TO GET IN THE END ZONE. EASY ROUND FOR MATT FORTE. ALL SETUP BY MY BABY. PACKERS ENSUING DRIVE. JAMES STARK. EVERYBODY FORGETS ABOUT HIM BECAUSE OF EDDIE LACY. DON'T FORGET ABOUT THIS GUY BUT NICE CUT INSIDE THE HOLE, AND WAY TO FINISH THE RUN, JAMES STARKS. 41 YDS. ON THAT ONE. HIS LONGEST OF THE SEASON. 3 PLAYS LATER RODGERS TO RANDALL COBB! WELCOME BACK FROM YOUR BROKEN LEG!! THIS WAS A GREAT IMPROVISE FROM BOTH THESE GUYS. YOU GOT COBB TRYING TO RUN A CORNER ROUTE AND HE CAME BACK INSIDE FOR THE EASY TOUCHDOWN. BUT HERE COME THE BEARS. CUTLER LOOKING DEEP DOWNFIELD! ALSHON JEFFREY! IF HE ISN'T THE BEST #2 RECEIVER IN THE LEAGUE, I DON'T KNOW WHO IS. THIS WAS A COVER 2. SAFETY PLAYED IT TERRIBLY WRONG FOR THE PACKERS AND THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT. HE WAS RULE INCHES SHY OF THE END ZONE. BUT NOW MATT FORTE SAYS, "YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL TAKE THE FANTASY POINTS TOO. I'M IN." AND THE BEARS RECLAIM THE LEAD AFTER HIS FIRST TOUCHDOWN OF THE DAY. CHICAGO'S NEXT DRIVE. CUTLER TO FORTE, AND THIS IS WHAT HE DOES SO WELL OUT OF THE BACKFIELD L.T. HE MISSED AGAIN. NOW WATCH HE FINISH THE RUN. I LIKE THAT. GAIN OF 33. SAME DRIVE FOR THE BEARS. ONTO THE 4TH SO WE'RE GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. CUTLER, LOOK AT THE ADJUSTMENT BY BRANDON MARSHALL. THE SPIN!! A PIROUETTE! THAT'S AMAZING FOR A BIG MAN. HE SHOWED SOME QUICK AGILITY. RECAPTURED THE BALL WITH HIS VISION AND GET THE TOUCHDOWN. BIG PLAY. SPIN ALL THE WAY AROUND. THAT IS IMPRESSIVE, AND NOW THE BEARS LEAD IS 8. BUT HERE COMES G.B. YOU'VE GOT YOUR MVP AT THE HELM. RODGERS TO ANDREW CORLISS FOR 22. I DON'T KNOW HOW CONTE DID NOT KNOCK IT DOWN OR PICK IT OFF OR SOMETHING. IT GOES RIGHT BETWEEN HIS MITTS!! OH BOY. SO A GAIN OF 22. THEN 4 PLAYS LATER, 1ST AND GOAL. EDDIE LACEY! THIS GUY RUNS SO HARD. DID YOU SEE AARON RODGERS TRYING TO LEAD THE BLOCK? GREAT JOB. SO THE PACKERS, THEY SETTLE FOR THE P.A.T. INSTEAD OF TRY FOR 2. THEY'RE DOWN 1 DIGIT. BEARS ENSUING DRIVE. 3RD & 17. CUTLER LOOKING FOR ALSHON JEFFREY, AND JUST TIPPED AWAY AT THE END BY SAM SHIELDS! ..HE CAN MAKE THAT PLAY. SO HERE COME THE PACKERS. 4TH & 1 AT THEIR OWN 22. JOHN KUHN GETS IT, BARELY! JUST MOVING THE CHAINS. 3 PLAYS LATER, UNDER 4 MINS. TO GO. 3RD & 4. RODGERS. SCRAMBLING. MAKES THE MOVE ON LANCE BRIGGS AND PICKS UP THE 1ST DOWN. HE'S ONE OF THE MORE MOBILE QB IN THE NFL MAKING PLAYS WITH HIS LEGS ALSO. 4 PLAYS LATER, 4TH & 1 FROM THEIR OWN 44. 2 MINS. TO GO AND THAT ALSO MOVES THE CHAINS. RODGERS TO JORDY NELSON, 6 YD. GAIN. NOW IT'S 4TH & 8, UNDER A MINUTE TO GO. RODGERS FLUSHED LEFT. THROWS WIDE OPEN! RANDALL COBB!! HOW DID HE GET THAT OPEN??!! COVER 3. SAFETY VACATES THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND RODGERS SCRAMBLES. MAKES SOMETHING HAPPEN. JAY CUTLER CAN ONLY WONDER WH....?! SO COBB JUST RUNS STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. THE 48 YD. SCORE! THE PACKERS, HOWEVER, FAIL ON THE 2 PT. TRY SO THEIR LEAD IS 5 WITH UNDER 40 TO GO. 3RD & 10 NOW FOR CUTLER. SLINGS IT BUT IT'S SAM SHIELDS WHO'S GOING TO KNOCK IT!!! NO! TAKE IT AWAY. YOU PICK IT. YOU PICK IT OFF. YOU DON'T KNOCK IT DOWN. AND JUST LIKE THAT THE PACKERS HAVE WON THEIR 3RD STRAIGHT NFC NORTH CHAMPIONSHIP.
1:35:43;16 - DENVER BRONCOS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS
WIN. THEY'RE THE #1 SEED IN THE NFC PLAYOFFS, AND JOHN FOX AND HIS TEAM ON THE ROAD OUT BY THE BAY. PAYTON MANNING JUST 266 YDS. SHY FROM BREAKING DREW BREES' SINGLE-SEASON RECORD FOR MOST PASSING YDS. OF COURSE HE'S ALREADY GOT THE TD. MARK AS WELL. SO FIRST QUARTER, THIS ONE GOT AWAY FORM THE RAIDERS IN A HURRY. MANNING LOOKING FOR ERIC DECKER. I'LL TAKE IT. HE'S THE GO-TO GUY. THEY'VE GOT GUYS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND PEYTON'S CONFIDENT. HE JUST KEEPS SETTING RECORDS, DOESN'T HE? YEA. IT SEEMS LIKE JUST ABOUT EVERY HIGHLIGHT. HERE A LITTLE TO NOSHAWN MARINO AND HE'S IN. GREAT YEAR HE'S HAD, HUH? YEA, HE'S HAD A GREAT BOUNCE-BACK YEAR. CATCHING IT. RUNNING IT. DOING WHATEVER. BRONCOS UP 14-ZIP AT THAT POINT. WE'RE KIND OF KEEPING AN EYE ON PEYTON NEEDING 266 YDS. TO SET THE SINGLE SEASON PASSING MARK. HERE IN THE 2ND LOOKING FOR DEMARIUS THOMAS. THAT'S THE PRETTIEST PASS I THINK MANNING'S THROWN ALL YEAR. AND THAT HELPS TO GET THAT RECORD. CHEWS UP A LOT OF YDS. IN 1 PLAY, DOESN'T IT? YEA. SO NOW HE NEEDS 70 TO BREAK THE RECORD. CAN HE DO IT? LATER ON IN THE GAME HE DOES SO. TO DENARIUS THOMAS FOR THE 5 YD. SCORE. HE FINISHED WITH EXACTLY 266 YDS. THAT'S IT. WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE. WHY DOES IT SEEM LIKE THEY HAVE MORE MEN ON THE FIELD THAN THE RAIDERS? I THINK THE RAIDERS HAVE BEEN PLAYING A MAN DOWN FOR QUITE AWHILE. BASICALLY SINCE THEIR LAST S.B. APPEARANCE.
1:37:21;27 - BUFFALO BILLS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

1:46:18;15 - PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ DALLAS COWBOYS
AT STAKE, THE NFC EAST TITLE. NICK FOLES WIN AND YOU MOVE ON TO FACE THE SAINTS. KYLE ORTON TO GET THE START FOR TONY ROMO AND LISTEN TO THIS ... 60 MINUTES! GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT! GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT! THAT'S RIGHT. JASON WITTEN GETTING THEM ALL FIRED-UP; AND SO HOW'D THAT PRODUCE? O.K. DEMARCO MURRAY FIRST FUMBLE LOSS THIS YEAR AS MICHAEL KENDRICKS HITS IT. BRADLEY FLETCHER RECOVERS IT. THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT TO START A PLAYOFF GAME. ANYTIME YOU NEED SOME TD. THAT WAS A PLAYOFF .. AN ALEX HENERY F.G. THEN A LITTLE DUMPOFF TO MURRAY AND WATCH HIM JUST DROP THE DEF. LINEMAN DAMIAN SQUARE AS HE SQUARES HIM UP! I THOUGHT THIS WAS ILLEGAL THIS YEAR? RIGHT THERE. HE GONNA GET A LITTLE SLIP IN HIS LOCKER. HE AIN'T EXPECTING IT THOUGH. HE GONNA BE CLEANING IT OUT AND HE GONNA HAVE A LITTLE SLIP IN HIS LOCKER. HOWEVER, NO POINTS AFTER 2 POSSESSIONS FOR DALLAS. 2ND QUARTER, STILL 3-ZIP. NICK FOLES TO JAVON AVANTE WORKING OVER JEFF HEATH, THE ROOKIE. MAN, HE REALLY LOST A LOT OF BALLS IN THE AIR, THE ROOKIE RIGHT THERE. SO THE EAGLES HAVE 1ST & GOAL AT THE 3. NEXT PLAY IT'S FOLES. SO MANY WEAPONS HERE AT THE GOAL LINE LIKE LESEAN MCCOY MARSHALL. THAT'S JUST A GREAT PLAY RIGHT THERE. SO MUCH DIRECTION ON THAT PLAY. MCCOY SNEAKS OUT INTO THE FLAT. FOLES PUTS IT ON HIM. GOOD TOUCHDOWN. 10-ZIP AT THAT POINT. WHAT ABOUT KYLE ORTON? 15 PASSES IN 2 YRS. WITH THE COWBOYS MAKING HIS 1ST START SINCE WK. 17 OF 2011. LAYING IT OUT FOR THE ROOKIE TERRANCE WILLIAMS. YEA, TERRANCE WILLIAMS GOING UP BIG AND GET THAT BALL RIGHT THERE. A LOT OF ONE-ON-ONE COVERAGE. TERRANCE WILLIAMS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOME PLAYS. 3 PLAYS LATER, ORTON TO ANOTHER ROOKIE, GAVIN ESCABAR. HE CAME INTO THIS GAME WITH 8 CAREER CATCHES. LOOK AT THAT! I'M GONNA SAY THAT KYLE ORTON DID A GREAT JOB...GREAT JOB.. SECURING HIS FUTURE AS THE BACKUP FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS. THE UP AND OVER AND THE BOSS LOVES IT! Its 10-7 PHILLY. NEXT COWBOYS POSSESSION. ORTON TO JASON WITTEN...TO MICHAEL KENDRICKS. HAD NO TIME. YEA, YOU THROW THAT PASS BEHIND YOU RIGHT THERE AND THAT'S JUST, THAT'S NOT GETTING ENOUGH WORK DURING THE SEASON. 2 PLAYS LATER, FOLES FINDS HIS T.E. WHO HANGS ONTO IT, BRENT CELEK, WHO'S KIND OF HAD A REBIRTH THE 2ND HALF OF THE SEASON. EAGLES UP 17-10 AT THE BREAK. 3RD QUARTER COWBOYS TACK ON A F.G., 17-13. FOLES UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE IN THIS MUCH MALIGNED DALLAS DEFENSE, REALLY SHOWED UP [ON THIS NIGHT. JASON HATCHER CAUSING A FUMBLE. DEMARCUS WARE WITH THE RECOVERY. COWBOYS WOULD ADD ON ONLY A F.G. SIGNIFICANT PLAY IN A SIGNIFICANT GAME. SO THEY'RE DOWN 1. NEXT EAGLES POSSESSION FOLES TO JOHN JACKSON. HE'S SHORT OF THE GOAL LINE. A VERY GOOD JOB KEEPING HIM OUT OF THE END ZONE. .. DID A GOOD JOB RIGHT THERE. SO 4TH & GOAL, WHAT DO YOU RUN? YOU RUN THAT! AND YOU DON'T GET IN!! HORRIBLE PLAY CALL. YOU HAVE LESEAN MCCOY IN THE BACKFIELD. THE QB SNEAK. A QB WHO DOESN'T TAKE SNAPS FROM UNDER CENTER. GOOD JOB. MAYBE ANDY REID THREW THAT PLAY IN. I DON'T KNOW. 4TH QUARTER, COWBOYS WITH THE BALL. 4TH & 1, ORTON. EVERYBODY BE QUIET. THIS IS A MISTAKE. ORTON TO ...IT'S KNOCKED DOWN BY CONNOR BARWIN. ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PLAYS MAN. WHY ARE WE OVERTHINKING THIS? THE EAGLES HAD NOT BEEN STOPPING DEMARCO MURRAY. GIVE HIM A SHOT AT THAT. HERE NICK FOLES GIVES A SHOT TO RILEY COOPER. GETS IT DOWN TO THE 41 AFTER THE 19 YD. GAIN. 9 PLAYS LATER, IT'S NOT MCCOY. IT'S BRYCE BROWN. I HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH FROM HIM THIS YEAR. THAT WAS A GREAT BLOCKING ON THAT PLAY BY THE WAY. SHADY'S HAVING A GOOD YEAR. GETS IN FROM 6 YDS. OUT. THE EAGLES ARE UP 8. BUT HERE COME THE COWBOYS. THEIR NEXT POSSESSION. ORTON TO WITTEN WHO HANGS ONTO THIS ONE. BUSTS LOOSE FOR 34. KYLE THREW SOME GREAT BALLS TODAY. HE REALLY DID. 4 PLAYS LATER IT'S 4TH & 9 AFTER A TIMEOUT. WHAT DOES DALLAS DO? THEY LOOK FOR DEZ..AND HE DOES THE REST, PLAYMAKER. 0 COVERAGE MAN. THEY TRIED TO COME AND GET KYLE ORTON AND DEZ BREAKS A BREAK INSIDE. ONCE YOU BREAK THAT TACKLE, THERE'S NOTHING BUT THE GOAL LINE YOUR HIT ON. SO YOU'RE DOWN 2. YOU GOTTA GO FOR 2. ORTON TO DEZ AGAIN. MCCRAY WILLIAMS WHO WAS SPECTACULAR ON SUNDAY, KNOCKS IT AWAY, PRIME. THAT'S A GREAT PLAY BY THE CORNERBACK. I MEAN HE THREW THAT BALL IN THE ONLY PLACE IT COULD GO. THAT WAS A GREAT PLAY. SO DALLAS NEEDS A 3 AND OUT WITH 1 TIMEOUT LEFT. 3RD & 4, FOLES CAN'T GET IT TO MCCOY WHO SLIPPED. WATCH GEORGE SELBY COME IN LATE. MAYBE THEY COULD'VE TACKED HIM FOR A LATE HIT. I THINK EVERYBODY'S THANKFUL THE REFS KEPT THE FLAGS IN THEIR POCKET. THAT'S FOLES. HERE'S A PLAY BY FOLES, BY STAYING INBOUNDS, NOT THROWING THE BALL AWAY. SO THE COWBOYS GET IT. IT'S ORTON TIME! PICKED OFF BY BRANDON BOYNKIN. AND THAT'LL DO IT. MAYBE IT'S IN THE DALLAS PLAYBOOK. YOU NEVER KNOW. ROMO SAID HE'S GLAD IT WASN'T HIM. THE EAGLES IMPROVE TO 10-6.
