1:10:10;11 - GREEN BAY PACKERS @ CHICAGO BEARS
JUST RELAX. G.B. AND CHICAGO, AND YOU KNOW WHO WAS RELAXED EARLY ON? JAY CUTLER. 15 PLAY, 8 MIN. DRIVE TO START THE GAME. TD TO BRANDON MARSHALL, AND THEN HERE COMES AARON RODGERS. JUST RELAX. YOU HAD TO THINK ABOUT THE SPELLING FOR A SECOND THOUGH. THAT WORRIES ME. RODGERS TO RODGERS THERE FOR THE BIG PLAY DOWN 7 AND THEN EDDIE LACEY. HIS FIRST TD. OF THE SEASON. PACKERS ON THE BOARD. BECAUSE THEY'RE RELAXED! JAY CUTLER WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS ONE BACK. YES. ALSHON JEFFREY GOES UPSTAIRS. LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GONNA PULL IT DOWN. DOESN'T. REMEMBER THAT PLAY. CUTLER WILL BECAUSE HERE COMES AARON RODGERS, JORDY NELSON CONNECTION. TD. NELSON WITH MORE THAN 100 YDS. RECEIVING IN THIS GAME. HE HAD 108. RANDALL COBB, 113. BUT THEN JEFFRIES ATONES FOR HIS SINS. TD. THERE. MARK TRESSMAN, GREAT PLAY DESIGN BUDDY. WAY TO DRAW IT UP. USE THAT ONE IN MADDEN. BUT THEN LOST HIS HEAD AND CALLED FOR AN ONSIDE KICK. RIGHT! TAKE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD, AND THIS WAS THE BAD BECAUSE YOU GIVE AARON RODGERS THE BALL BACK WITH A SHORT FIELD AND I THINK HE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. I CAN SEE WHY HE DID IT. I MEAN, LISTEN, I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A PUNT IN THIS GAME, MATTER OF FACT. I'M NOT SURE EITHER TEAM PUNTED TODAY. SO YOU KNEW YOU WEREN'T GONNA STOP AARON. YOU'RE TRYING TO STEAL AN EXTRA POSSESSION INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM A TOUCHDOWN LIKE THEY DID. HERE'S RANDALL COBB FOR THE TD. COBB, 113 YDS., AS I MENTIONED, ON 7 RECEPTIONS. LATE IN THE 1ST HALF BEARS GO FOR THE TD. INSTEAD OF KICKING A F.G. WAS IT A TD? WAS IT? DID THE BALL CROSS THE PLANE? GREAT EFFORT BY MARTELLUS BUT ...WHEN MARTELLUS EXTENDS RIGHT THERE. THERE’S JUST NO EVIDENCE TO OVERTURN IT. AND THE CALL STANDS ON THE FIELD. SO THE PACKERS GO IN WITH THAT 4 PT. LEAD AT THE HALF. THEN CUTLER COMES BACK OUT IN THE 2ND HALF AND PINBALL. CLAY MATTHEWS. YEA, GREAT PLAY BY SAM SHIELDS THOUGH. HE GETS IN THERE, CLIMBS OVER THE WIDE RECEIVER'S SHOULDER. TIPS IT. CLAY MATTHEWS THE RECIPIENT. AND CLAY DOES THE SMART THING. HE RUNS OUT OF BOUNDS AND SAYS, "I CAN GIVE IT TO AARON RODGERS." RIGHT. AARON IS HIS FANTASY QB. SO HE JUST WANTED TO SPREAD THE WEALTH. JORDY NELSON FROM AARON RODGERS AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, HERE THEY GO. PACK CLICKING. NOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING IS THAT MATT FORTE HAD A GREAT DAY. HUGE. 122 YDS. RUSHING ON 23 CARRIES. HE SHOULD'VE BEEN CARRYING IT THERE. SAM SHIELDS, THE PICK. YEA, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. MISCOMMUNICATIONS. WHEN SAM MADE THE PICK THERE WASN'T A BEARS UNIFORM IN SIGHT. SO CALL IT MISCOMMUNICATION. WE'LL CHALK IT UP TO THAT. HEY, TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE NUMBERS. THE BEARS ARE 7-11 ON 3RD DOWN; 235 RUSHING. MATT FORTE GOES OFF. YEP. 36 MINS. TIME OF POSSESSION. TURNOVERS. YEA. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT'S IT. THAT'S ALWAYS THE SORT. AND A MISSED ONSIDE KICK. YEP. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU CALLED OUT EARLY IN THE DAY, COACH. YOU SAID IF JAY CUTLER DOESN'T THROW ANY INTERCEPTIONS, THE BEARS WIN TODAY. GUESS WHAT? HE THREW A DUCE. THEY LOSE. CAUSE THERE'S THE EFFICIENCY WE TALKED ABOUT. THE 3RD DOWN COMPLETION PERCENTAGE. AND IT'S NOT JUST THE INTERCEPTIONS. OBVIOUSLY THINGS CASCADED. IT WAS THE MISSED ONSIDE KICK AND THAT TYPE OF THING; AND YOU GOTTA GIVE CREDIT TO AARON RODGERS. HE WAS VERY RELAXED WITH 22 OF ...28 FOR 309 YDS. AND 4 TDS. YEA. FEWEST CAREER GAMES. DID 25,000 PASSING YDS. AARON RODGERS 4TH ON THAT BOARD AND, AS YOU MENTIONED, THE 4 TDS. TODAY AFTER THEY WERE SHUTOUT FOR 3 QUARTERS BY THE LIONS, THE BEST DEFENSE IN THE NFL. THEY COME BACK AND THEY ROLLED THE CHICAGO BEARS.
1:14:05;25 - BUFFALO BILLS @ HOUSTON TEXANS
ALRIGHT. SO BUFFALO BILLS TAKING ON THE HOUSTON TEXANS. THERE'S E.J. MANUEL LOOKING TO IMPROVE HIS 2-4 ROAD RECORD AGAINST THE STOUT HOUSTON DEFENSE LED BY THIS MAN, J.J. WATT. FIRST QUARTER NOW. BILLS WITH IT. WATCH WATT. ACTUALLY GETS PANCAKED ON THE PLAY AS C.J. SPIELER RUNS TO THE RIGHT FOR A GAIN OF 22 YDS. STILL SCORELESS. 2ND QUARTER NOW BUT IT'S THE SAME DRIVE. ON 3RD DOWN FROM THE TEXANS 23 YD. LINE. E.J. MANUEL ESCAPES THE POCKET. AVOIDS THE SACK. THEN FINDS SCOTT CHANDLER FOR 11 YDS. TO KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE. THAT LED TO A DAN CARPENTER 31 YD. F.G. AND THE BILLS LED 3-0. THEN ANDRE JOHNSON WITH THE CATCH BUT THEN HE FUMBLES THE BALL. A VERY RARE FEAT WE'LL SEE HERE FROM ANDRE JOHNSON. HIS FIRST LOST FUMBLE SINCE 2008 ANY 2 STRAIGHT GAMES, HE WENT WITHOUT A FUMBLE. THEN THAT LED TO THIS. A SAMMY WATKINS 5 YD. TD. AND THE BILLS LED 10-0. NEXT TEXANS POSSESSION, TRAILING 10-0. FITZPATRICK ESCAPES THE POCKET THEN SCRAMBLES. KEEP THE DRIVE ALIVE. AN 11 YD. PICKUP FOR HIM. 2 PLAYS LATER, 2ND DOWN NOW. FITZPATRICK THROWING DEEP. FINDS D'ANDRE HOPKINS FOR A 35 YD. TD., AND THE TEXANS CUT THE LEAD TO 3. 10-7. NOW FITZPATRICK FINISHED THE GAME WITH 268 YDS., 1 TD. AND 2 PICKS. 3RD QUARTER. E.J. MANUEL'S BALL IS TIPPED. OR, EXCUSE ME, INTERCEPTED BY J.J. WATT; AND THEN WATT'S GONNA GO TO THE HOUSE. 79 YD. INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR THE SCORE, AND THE TEXANS RETAKE THE LEAD 14-10. WATT IS THE FIRST PLAYER IN NFL HISTORY WITH 35 PLUS SACKS, A RECEIVING TD. AND AN INTERCEPTION RETURN FOR A TD. IN HIS FIRST ...AND 4 NFL SEASONS. 4TH QUARTER NOW. BILLS TRAILING 20-10. MANUEL LOOKING, THROWS DEEP. AND THERE'S MIKE WILLIAMS WIDE OPEN. WILL HE GET THERE? YES HE WILL. 80 YDS. TO THE HOUSE FOR THE TD. AND THE BILLS NOW TRAIL 20-17. LATER IN THE 4TH, BILLS TRAILING 23-17. ON 3RD DOWN MANUEL FINDS FRED JACKSON. A 14 YD. COMPLETION. THAT KEPT THE DRIVE GOING. 2 PLAYS LATER, E.J. MANUEL PASS INTENDED FOR ROBERT WOODS. INTERCEPTED BY DARRELL MORRIS AND THAT'S GONNA BE YOUR BALL GAME. AARON REALLY STRUGGLED WITH HIS ACCURACY. 21 OR 44 FOR 225 YDS. AND 2 TDS. TEXANS WIN 23-17.
1:17:00;10 - TENNESSEE TITANS @ INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
ALRIGHT, TITANS AND COLTS AND CHARLIE WHITEHURST STARTING FOR JAKE LOCKER, AND THAT DOESN'T HELP. YOU CAN'T PUT THE BALL ON THE MAT. SO THE COLTS GET THE BALL. NO, YOU CAN'T BE DOWN. THE GROUND CAN'T CAUSE...CAN CAUSE THE FUMBLE IF NO ONE'S TOUCHED YOU. RIGHT...IF YOU DON'T SLIDE. MEANWHILE ANDREW LUCK, HOTTEST QB IN THE GAME AND T.Y. HILTON, GREAT MOVE. HE'S IN. THAT'S A TD. I'M SORRY. THAT RIGHT KNEE MUST HAVE TOUCHED DOWN BEFORE HE GOT IN FOR THEM NOT TO GIVE THAT TO HIM. SO RICHARDSON CASHES IT IN. STANDBY. THERE'S A LOT MORE TO COME. AND THEY GET THE TD AND, BOY, THERE'S A LOT...LOT'S HAPPENING. BUT ONSIDE KICK AND THE COLTS GET IT BACK. SO SMART PLAY. THEY GET CONTROL OF THE BALL. WOW. AND THEN ANDREW LUCK SAYS T.E.'S ALWAYS OPEN. THERE HE IS. EASY. ALLEN THE TD. THEN THINGS JUST..THIS IS KIND OF WHERE THINGS GO OFF THE RAILS FOR WHITEHURST LOOKING DOWN THE FIELD. TIPPED DRILL. PICKED BY MIKE ADAMS THERE. PARTLY THE RECEIVER'S FAULT. CAN'T TIP THE BALL UP. YOU GOTTA COME DOWN WITH IT. BUT FINALLY, BEFORE THE HALF, WHITEHURST GETS A TD. GREAT THROW. KEEPS IT RESPECTABLE BUT, OH, THERE'S THAT MAN AGAIN. REGGIE WAYNE. YOU CANNOT DEFEND THAT. JUST A GREAT THROW, GREAT CATCH. AND THEN OLD SCHOOL, THE HOMEY, FLEANER. FLEANER...T.E.'S THEY GOT 2 YOUNG ONES THAT ARE GONNA BE REALLY GOOD FOR A LONG TIME. 41-17. ANOTHER 4 TD. AFTERNOON FOR ANDREW LUCK AS HE PUTS UP BIG NUMBERS. THEY GET THE RAVENS NEXT WEEK. DYING TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO AGAINST THAT DEFENSE. MEANWHILE, THE TITANS MUST FIGURE OUT THEIR QB SITUATION.

ALRIGHT, THE LIONS TAKING ON THE N.Y. JETS. CALVIN JOHNSON WAS BANGED UP COMING INTO THIS GAME AND HE HAD TO LEAVE THE FIELD. LIMITED ALL DAY. JUST 2 CATCHES, 12 YDS. FOR THE BIG WIDE RECEIVER FOR DETROIT. SO IN HIS STEAD, HOW ABOUT THIS MAN. JEREMY ROSS. A 61 YD. CATCH AND RUN FOR A TD. MATT STAFFORD FIRED-UP. ALRIGHT, ON THE REPLAY.

PICKUP AND ANOTHER 1ST DOWN. THE FIRST CATCH OF THE SEASON FOR BROYLES. 4TH QUARTER NOW. SAME DRIVE THOUGH. STAFFORD, HOW ABOUT THIS. A BOOTLEG. ROLLS OUT. WILL HE FIND THE CORNER? TRIES TO GET IN THERE. GETS THERE. BREAKS THE PYLON AND HE'S IN FOR THE TD. A 1 YD. TD. RUN FOR MATT STAFFORD. LIONS LED 24-10 AT THIS POINT. THEY USED 14 PLAYS ON THAT DRIVE GOING 7 MINS. & 32 SECS. LONGEST DRIVE OF THE SEASON FOR DETROIT. NEXT JETS POSSESSION. HERE'S GENO SMITH. UH OH. UNDER PRESSURE. HIS PASS IS INTERCEPTED BY DARIUS SLAY. HE'S GONNA RETURN IT 40 YDS. IT'S SLAY'S VERY 1ST CAREER INTERCEPTION. SMITH'S 5TH INTERCEPTION THIS SEASON. THE MOST IN THE NFL. IF YOU TAKE ANOTHER LOOK OF THE PLAY, GENO'S HIT HARD BY ZIGGY UNSA. BUT AT LEAST IT WASN'T ANY DAMAGE ON THE SCOREBOARD BECAUSE ALEX HENRY WOULD MISS A 52 YD. F.G. THEN NEXT JETS POSSESSION, STILL 24-10. SMITH THEN HIT BY JAMES .. HE FORCED A FUMBLE. GENO SMITH CANNOT BELIEVE IT. ...'S HELMET HIT SMITH'S ARM WHICH CAUSED THE FUMBLE. OBVIOUSLY HE IS PLEASED WITH HIS EFFORT THERE. NEXT JETS POSSESSION.

THAT'S A NAKED BOOTLEG BY MATT STAFFORD WHO SLIDES IN FOR THE 1ST DOWN. PUTS THE GAME AWAY. THE LIONS GO ON TO WIN 24-17. STAFFORD WITH 293 YDS., 2 TDS. AND 1 RUSHING SCORE AS WELL.
1:24:57;22 - TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
THEY, FROM EARLIER TODAY, JAMES HARRISON BACK IN A STEELERS UNIFORM AFTER GETTING SIGNED THIS WEEK. GOOD THING FOR STEELERS FANS. MIKE GLENNON MAKING A START FOR THE INJURED JOSH MCCOWN. GLENNON TO MIKE EVANS. STALLING DOWN BUT STILL MAKES THE CATCH. BUCS ON TOP 7-0. YEA, WE SAW THAT A FEW TIMES IN COLLEGE. OUTSTANDING CONCENTRATION AND BALL SKILLS RIGHT HERE BY MIKE EVANS. BE ABLE TO SECURE THAT BALL WITH 1 HAND THE WAY HE DID IN COLLEGE. CORTEZ ALLEN ON THE COVERAGE THERE. THE CATCH LOOKS EVEN BETTER IN SLOW MOTION. THIS GUY ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD. ANTONIO BROWN ON THE TD. CATCH HERE FROM BEN ROETHLISBERGER. CALLED FOR UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT ON THE CELEBRATION. I ENJOYED IT. 2ND QUARTER. IT'S TIED AT 10. 2ND & 13 AT THE BUCS 27 FOR THE STEELERS. HERE'S ROETHLISBERGER TO BROWN. OBVIOUSLY NOT OFF. PASS INTERFERENCE. ARE YOU SERIOUS? JUST A LITTLE BIT. THAT WAS A BIG SHOVE BY ANTONIO BROWN BUT THEY DON'T SEE IT. HE GETS THE TD. THE STEELERS ON TOP 17-10. ... ON THAT PLAY. IN THE 3RD QUARTER IS GLENNON LOBBING IT UP FOR EVANS. 2ND ALLEY-OOP, RIGHT? WHEN YOU HAVE A RECEIVER THAT TALL YOU JUST THROW IT UPHILL. THEY'LL GET IT. THE DUNKANEERS, RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL THEMSELVES. IT IS A BASKETBALL TEAM ON THE OUTSIDE. GREAT CATCH THOUGH BY THE ... FIRST AND GOAL FOR THE BUCS. A COUPLE OF PLAYS LATER DOUG MARTIN WILL GET THE TD. THIS IS ROETHLISBERGER TO ANTONIO BROWN. HE THROWS IT OVER TO LEVEON BELL FOR A PICKUP OF 17 YDS. SOME TRICKERATION BY THE STEELERS. ANTONIO BROWN CAN DO EVERYTHING. OH DON'T PUT YOUR HAND UP. HE DIDN'T LIKE THAT. HE DIDN'T LIKE THAT 1ST DOWN THEY'VE EVER SEEN BY PUTTING HIS HAND DOWN TRYING TO CELEBRATE A 1ST DOWN. IT WAS AWESOME. 4 PLAYS LATER, HEATH MILLER ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE TD. STEELERS UP 24-17, BUT IT WAS FAR FROM OVER. IN THE 4TH, MIKE EVANS OUT WITH A GROIN INJURY. BUCS HAVE THE BALL 2ND & GOAL HERE. GLENNON TO LEWIS MURPHY. CAN'T MAKE THE CATCH. HE'LL MAKEUP FOR IT. AND THAT HE WOULD. FORESHADOWING D.J. I LIKE THAT. I LIKE TO MIX THAT IN. BUCS SETTLE FOR A F.G. IT'S 24-20. ROETHLISBERGER GIVES TO LAVEON BELL. BACK TO ROETHLISBERGER TO GROUND. OH MAN! THAT COULD'VE BEEN 6 BUT HE DROPS THE BALL. YOU DON'T SEE THAT MUCH. STEELERS MISS A CHANCE TO PUT IT AWAY. NO. ONE OF THE BEST RECEIVERS IN THE GAME. SURE-HANDED BUT THIS ONE OFF HIS FINGERTIPS. YOU CAN SEE BEN'S REACTION THERE. HE'S MADE YOU LOOK GOOD IN THE PAST THOUGH, BEN. CAN'T BLAME HIM THERE FOR THAT ONE. GLENNON THROWS TO OSTINSOFARION JENKINS IN THE END ZONE AND UNABLE, SPEAKING ENGLISH NOW, TRYING TO MAKE THE GRAB. 2ND DOWN FOR THE BUCS. BEN'S A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS, AS HE SHOULD BE. LOVIE, WHAT ARE YOU DIALING UP? GLENNON TO VINCENT JACKSON. GIVING THE BIG GUY A CHANCE. 4TH & 10. JUST GIVE HIM A CHANCE. PUT A LITTLE AIR UNDER THAT THING. TAKE A LITTLE OFF. YOU GOT A SIZE ADVANTAGE. GOTTA GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO MAKE A PLAY. SO THE STEELERS TAKE OVER. 3RD & 5 NOW WITH 1:35 ON THE CLOCK. THE BUCS ARE OUT OF TIMEOUTS. THEY GIVE IT TO BELL. HE'S STOPPED FOR A LOSS OF 3. THE STEELERS FORCED TO PUNT. SO THE BUCS TAKE OVER. 2ND & 10 FROM THE STEELERS 46. JUST 35 SECS. LEFT. REMEMBER THAT FORESHADOWING ABOUT LEWIS MURPHY? HERE'S WHAT D.J. WAS TALKING ABOUT. 41 YD. GAIN HERE L.T. YEA, THAT WAS A NICE THROW BY MIKE GLENNON. 1ST DOWN FOR THE BUCCANEERS. 15 SECS. LEFT. 12 SECS. LEFT. NOW. JUST THROW IT VINCENT JACKSON 3 STRAIGHT TIMES. THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT THEY DID. JACKSON SCORES THE TD. FANTASTIC CATCH. THE BUCS TAKE THE LEAD FOR GOOD. THEY WIN IT 27-24. 2ND YR. QB MIKE GLENNON PASSES FOR OVER 300 YDS. BIG BEN SHAKING HIS HEAD. THE BUCCANEERS GET A MUCH NEEDED WIN. THEIR 1ST WIN OF THE SEASON OVER THE PITTS. STEELERS. CONGRATULATIONS LOVIE.
1:29:24;14 - MIAMI DOLPHINS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS
MEANWHILE DOLPHINS/RAIDERS COMING TO YOU FROM LONDON AND DERRICK CARR. THIS FIRST SERIES HE LOOKED GREAT. SO DID JAMES JONES. TASTY LOVIN WITH A CATCH THERE, AND THEN THE TD. RIGHT. HERE ...A FAST START IS A GREAT THING. FINISHING IS OBVIOUSLY MORE IMPORTANT AND THAT'S BEEN THE BIG PROBLEM FOR THE RAIDERS. IT'S NOT HOW THEY START. ITS' HOW THEY FINISH EVERY GAME. RYAN TANNEHILL, THERE WAS QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER HE WOULD START. YEA, HE STARTED AND FINISHED. YES. YES HE DID. MIKE WALLACE HERE. MIKE WALLACE HAD A #1-TYPE DAY. HE ALREADY HAS 3 TDS. ON THE SEASON. JUST HAD 2 LAST YEAR. WALLACE, THE TD. THERE AND YOU KNOW WHAT? GREAT FINISH. THE DOLPHINS JUST KEPT COMING. ON 4TH DOWN. GROUND ATTACK. 4TH & INCHES. DECIDED TO RUN IT IN. TANNEHILL WAS SPOT ON TODAY. WIDE RECEIVERS WERE IN PLACE. T.E.'S MAKING PLAYS. OBVIOUSLY THAT DEFENSE HIGHLY FRUSTRATED THIS RAIDERS OFFENSE. BRENT GRIMES, GREAT PLAY. DERRICK CARR PICKED OFF A POORLY THROWN BALL. DERRICK CARR GETS INJURED IN THIS GAME, AND THAT WAS A BIGGER PROBLEM. LET TANNEHILL AND THE DOLPHINS CASH THAT IN AND THEN DERRICK CARR LOOKING. NICE THROW TO THE OUTSIDE. IT WAS A GREAT THROW BUT THEN, ON THE NEXT PLAY, THIS HAPPENS. A KNEE/ANKLE INJURY FOR CARR. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? BAD NEWS FOR THE RAIDERS. YEA, BECAUSE MATT SCHAUB DIDN'T MAKE THIS TRIP FOR FAMILY REASONS. SO MATT LEGLOIN COMES IN AND I THINK THIS WAS THE FIRST PLAY. A SHOTGUN SNAP THAT WAS LOW AND FAST. AND YOU KNOW WHO GOT IT? CORTLAND FINNEGAN. HE FINISHES THE PLAY IN THE END ZONE GIVING THE ENGLISH FOLKS A LITTLE FLAVOR FOR THEIR EVENING. 38-14, THE FINAL SCORE.
1:31:25;26 - NEW YORK GIANTS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
FED-EX FIELD FOR ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT DOMINATING PERFORMANCE FROM THE GIANTS. KIRK COUSINS COMING OFF A DOMINATING PERFORMANCE. 3 TD. PASSES LAST WEEK IN THAT GAME AGAINST THE EAGLES BUT IN TROUBLE HERE FELLAS. KIWANUKA...SLAPS THAT UNDER. I LIKE THE POLE ARM SLAPS THE OPPOSITE ARM DOWN. GETS AROUND THE EDGE. GETS THE SACK ON ... YEA. PALUMBUS. TYLER PALUMBUS. OUR GUY? HEY, EXTRA FIELD TIME FOR YOU THIS WEEK BUDDY. SO HERE'S ELI. HE TAKES OVER AT THE REDSKINS 24. 1 TD. PASS. 18 OF HIS LAST 19 STARTS AGAINST THE REDSKINS. HERE'S ONE RIGHT HERE TO LARRY ... LISTEN, IT'S PRETTY. THERE'S NOTHING FANCY TO IT. WHEN YOU LET THE T.E. STRAIGHT OFF THE LINE, WILLIE, WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO TO THE T.E.? YOU GOTTA JAM THE T.E. YOU CAN'T GIVE HIM DIRECT ENTRY UP THE SEAM IN THE RED ZONE. THAT'S TOO EASY. 1ST TIME THE GIANTS HAVE SCORED IN THE 1ST ... ALL SEASON. HERE IT'S THE FIRST...COME ON BERRY. BRANDON MERRIWEATHER, YOU KNOW YOU GOT BILL BELICHICK IN HERE. JAM THE T.E. JAM THE T.E. NO. GIVE HIM A FREE RELEASE INSIDE. NOT GOOD. GIANTS UP 14-0. HOW ABOUT ONE MORE? AND THEN BRAYLON, THE CORNERBACK. HE'S SPREAD OUT WIDE. THAT'S JUST A GIMME. THAT'S JUST A GOOD THROW AND CATCH RIGHT THERE. NO, IT REALLY IS. IT REALLY IS. BY THE WAY, ALL 3 OF THOSE TD. PASSES TO DONNELL. WHAT A NIGHT FOR HIM? LOGAN TOSSED AND STRIPPED BY TRUMAINE MCBRIDE WHO ALSO RECOVERS THE BALL. THE GIANTS TAKE OVER AT THEIR OWN 18. THAT WAS REALLY ALMOST A GAME-CHANGING PLAY THERE. AT THAT POINT, BECOMES A 6 PT. SWING. THEY'RE IN F.G. RANGE. INSTEAD, THE GIANTS GET IT AND GO DOWN AND GET A F.G. HERE IN A MINUTE. HERE’S MANNING LOOKING DEEP FOR VICTOR CRUZ FOR 29 YDS. ONE SECOND LEFT ON THE CLOCK. THAT WAS DRAWN UP NICELY. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN WILLIE? IT'S A BAD SITUATION. YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE SITUATION IS ON THE FIELD. YOU CAN'T GIVE UP A BIG PLAY IN THAT...RIGHT THERE. NOT GOOD. IN THE 3RD COUSINS PICKED OFF AGAIN. AMUKAMARA RETURNS IT 28 YDS. GIANTS TAKE OVER AT THE 21. JAY GRUDEN CANNOT BELIEVE IT. BECAUSE THE BACKS FOR THE GIANTS WAS LIKE ... AMUKAMARA'S GOTTEN BETTER EVERY YEAR IT SEEMS LIKE. HE HAS. HE HAS. ON THE NEXT DRIVE COUSINS OUT OF HIS END ZONE. SPEAKING OF GETTING BETTER, NOT HERE. PICKED OFF BY QUINTON DEMPS. THE REDSKINS 4TH TURNOVER OF THE GAME. YEA, THIS IS ONE I ..THERE WAS NO PRESSURE IN HIS FACE. HE HAD A CLEAN POCKET. IT WAS JUST A BAD THROW. HE WAITED, WAITED, WAITED. THREW IT TO THE WRONG PERSON. WELL HERE COME THE GIANTS. DARNELL NOT AVAILABLE. SO ..FOR THE T.E.'S. GOOD NIGHT FOR THE T.E.'S. WOW. WIDE OPEN. 31-14 AT THIS POINT. LATER IN THE 3RD REDSKINS STILL TRAILING 31-14. PICKED OFF NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, NOT THRICE BUT 4 TIMES. THIS TIME BY TRUMANE MCBRIDE. MY GOODNESS. WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK MAKES. THAT FACE RIGHT THERE, DANNY, SAYS IT ALL. THAT'S A BIG INJURY. THAT'S NOT GOOD EITHER. YEA, TRENT WILLIAMS LEAVES THE FIELD. HE'S PROBABLY THE BEST PLAYER ... BEST OFF. LINEMAN. MIGHT BE THE BEST PLAYER ON THAT TEAM. COULD BE. THEN IN THE 4TH QUARTER ELI MANNING SAYS, "NOBODY'S OPEN?" I'M GONNA RUN IT IN. WOW. 1 YD. TD. RUN. GIANTS LEAD 38-14. THE FINAL, 45-14. THE GIANTS RUN AWAY WITH IT. TAKING IT TO THEIR DIVISION FOES. GREAT NIGHT FOR ELI MANNING. PASSES FOR 300 YDS., 4 TD. PASSES, RUNS FOR ANOTHER ONE. THE GIANTS NOW BACK AT 500.
1:35:03;23 - ATLANTA FALCONS @ MINNESOTA VIKINGS
TEDDY BRIDGEWATER, THE FINAL PICK OF THE 1ST ROUND GETTING HIS FIRST START, AND THEY ARE LOVING HIM UP IN MINN. TAKING ON THE FALCONS. 2ND QUARTER. NICE FOOTWORK TEDDY. THERE HE GOES. LOOK AT TEDDY DO HIS THING. GET HIM! TEDDY READY. YOU KNOW WHO LOVES THAT? YOU KNOW WHO LOVES HIM? WHO LOVES HIM? MOMMA LOVES HIM. OH, THERE'S MOMMA. WHY NOT? O.K. VIKINGS WOULD LEAD BY 10 AT THE BREAK. 3RD QUARTER, IT'S NOW 27-14 MINN. MATT RYAN, THE HIGHEST SCORING OFFENSE, GONNA HAVE TO PUT SOME POINTS ON THE BOARD. SWINGING IT OUT TO WHO? WHO'S THAT? I DON'T KNOW BUT THAT GUARD AIN'T BLOCKED NOBODY. HE DIDN'T NEED TO. DEVIN HESTER SCORED. FALCONS ARE WITHIN 6. ONTO THE 4TH. VIKINGS BALL, NOW DOWN A POINT. BRIDGEWATER...TO GREG JENNINGS. GAIN OF 29 ON THAT ONE. NEXT PLAY BRIDGEWATER. THIS IS HIS JOB I'D SAY FOR THE NEXT 15 YRS. OR SO, TO CORDARYL PATTERSON FOR A GAIN OF 22. THEN BRIDGEWATER TO JAIRUS REICH INSIDE THE 10. THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HIS FIRST START. THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN PLAYING FOR A LONG TIME. AND NOW..IS HE GONNA KEEP IT HIMSELF? OH HE GETS IN THERE. OH, DOES HE? DOES HE GET IN THERE? JUST SHY OF THE END ZONE AND, ACTUALLY, INJURED HIS ANKLE ON THE PLAY. BUT HE WOULD STAY IN FOR 4TH DOWN. YOU DON'T GO WITH BLAIR WALSH. YOU GO WITH MATT OSIATTA. HIS 3RD SCORE OF THE DAY. GREAT JOB FOR AN OFF. LINE. AND THE EMPHATIC SLAM AS WELL. THE VIKINGS ARE UP BY 7 BUT BRIDGEWATER GETTING THAT ANKLE LOOKED AT. IN FACT, HE HAD TO BE CARTED OFF MOMENTARILY. THAT'S MY BABY. YEA, MOMMA NOT AS EXCITED NOW. SO HERE COME THE FALCONS. THE T.E. LAVEEN ... IN AT RIGHT TACKLE AFTER SOME INJURIES ON THE OFF. LINE AND MATT RYAN'S LIKE, "WE GOTTA SIGN SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING!" YEA, THEY'VE LOST A LOT OF LINEMEN ALREADY. THAT WAS THE ROOKIE ANTHONY BARR WITH THE SACK AND THEN RYAN LOOKING FOR RODDY WHITE. PICKED OFF BY HARRISON SMITH. BRIDGEWATER THREW FOR 317. RAN FOR A SCORE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, GOT A "W" EVEN THOUGH HE LIMPED OFF THE FIELD.
1:37:36;27 - PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
THE EAGLES WHO WERE WOKEN UP AT 2:30 BY A FIRE ALARM AND, YES, MR. OCHO TWEETED, WHICH CRUEL NINERS FAN PULLED THE FIRE ALARM AT OUR HOTEL?" THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. O.K. JIM HARBAUGH, CHIP KELLY. THEY USED TO COACH AGAINST EACH OTHER IN THE PACK 12. HOW ABOUT COLIN KAPAERNICK GETTING DROPPED BY TRENT COLE AND CONNOR BARWIN FOR A LOSS OF 13! SO THAT SETS UP THIS PUNT. ANDY LEE, OF COURSE, HAS IT SWATTED AWAY BY TREY PURTON AND BRAD SMITH FALLS ON IT. THE EAGLES SPECIAL TEAMS, OH SO SPECIAL WITH A 7-0 LEAD. AGAIN, BOY, THIS SPECIAL TEAMS UNIT'S BEEN GOOD FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON ACTUALLY SCORING POINTS. 2ND QUARTER, ANTHONY DAVIS OF THE NINERS WOULD LEAVE WITH A KNEE INJURY. HE WOULD NOT RETURN. MICHAEL CRABTREE INJURED HOOF. HE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE FINE BUT 2ND & 17 ON THEIR OWN 45. KAPAERNICK, KING OF THE TURNOVER IN THE EARLY GOING. KEEPING THE PLAY ALIVE. I GOT IT. BUT LOOK AT THIS PLAY TO FRANK GORE. GREAT VISION. GREAT VISION. THAT'S THE WAY TO USE THE WHOLE FIELD. YOU GOTTA FIND WAYS TO GET FRANK GORE THE BALL MORE. AND HE'LL BREAK A TACKLE IN THE OPEN FIELD AND TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE. 55 YDS. LONGEST CATCH OF HIS CAREER AND THE NINERS ARE UP 10-7. NEXT DRIVE KAPAERNICK HAS IT PICKED OFF BY MALCOLM JENKINS; AND LOOK AT THE RETURNABILITY. THAT'S A GREAT RUN. FIRST OF ALL, HE DEFENSED THIS PLAY TO PERFECTION. HIS 4TH CAREER TD. AND THE EAGLES HAVE 14 ON THE BOARD AND NONE OF IT THANKS TO ITS OFFENSE. SO WHAT HAPPENED, PRIME? FIRST OF ALL JENKINS IS LOOKING INSIDE. THE RECEIVER OUTSIDE HAS THE CORNER BEAT BUT HE SITS IN THE HOLE. PERFECTION. HOOK CURL WAS HIS ASSIGNMENT AND HE DID IT TO PERFECTION. GREAT PLAY. I DON'T THINK THAT'S A YAWN, BY THE WAY. NEXT NINERS POSSESSION. THEY GOT A PUNT AND L.T., YOU KNOW THIS GUY OH SO WELL. YEA, YOU GIVE HIM A LITTLE ROOM, HE WILL MAKE YOU PAY. FLAG IS ON S.F. 82 YDS. FOR SPROLES. HIS 4TH PUNT RETURN FOR A SCORE. 1ST ONE SINCE HIS FIRST GAME AS A SAINT IN 2011. AS FAR AS VERNON DAVIS, HE MISSED THE GAME LAST WEEK DOWN IN ARIZONA. HAS ANKLE AND KNEE INJURIES ;AND HERE IN THE 3RD QUARTER, SNAGS ONE BUT THEN COMES UP WITH A BAD BACK AND HE WAS DONE FOR THE DAY. BOY, HE'S HAD SOME TOUGH LUCK THIS SEASON ALREADY. SO THE PRO BOWL T.E. IS FINISHED. WHERE WILL THE NINERS LOOK TO IN THEIR PASSING GAME? MORE ON THAT IN A BIT. SO THE EAGLES ENSUING DRIVE. NICK FOLES FINDING ZACK ERTZ BUT WATCH ANQUAN BETHEA. BIG PLAY. STRIPPING IT AND PARISH COX IS GONNA SNAG IT. OF COURSE, EVERY TURNOVER IS REVIEWED AND THAT IS, INDEED, A TURNOVER. A GREAT PLAY BY BETHEA. THAT'S THE PLAY OF THE GAME RIGHT THERE. SO HERE COME THE NINERS. ONCE AGAIN NO VERNON DAVIS. SO HOW ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF STEVIE JOHNSON? WATCH THE FINGERTIPS ON THIS CATCH. PERFECT THROW. PERFECT CATCH. HE'S BY THE LINE. CATCH THE FOOTBALL. GET 2 FEET IN. MAINTAIN CONTROL AS YOU HIT THE GROUND. IT'S A TD. UNBELIEVABLE. THE LESTER HAYES STICK 'EM ON THE HANDS FOR THAT ONE. THAT WAS A NICE ACQUISITION FOR THE NINERS THIS OFF-SEASON. AND THE NINERS ARE DOWN JUST 1. AS FAR AS NICK FOLES, 300 YDS. PASSING IN EACH OF THE FIRST 3 GAMES. BUT BOTHERED A LITTLE BIT WITH A BUM KNEE. NOW 40 PTS. FOR THE EAGLES IN THE FINAL QUARTER OF PLAY MOST IN THE NFL. NINERS HAVE BEEN SHUTOUT IN THE FINAL 15. SO WHAT WOULD HAPPEN THIS TIME AROUND? KAPAERNICK LOOKING FOR MICHAEL CRABTREE BUT WE GOT A FLAG. OFF. PASS INTERFERENCE AND CHIP KELLY ACCEPTS THE PENALTY ON 3RD & 3. SO YOUR NEXT PLAY KAEPERNICK’S GONNA TAKE IT HIMSELF. A GAIN OF 16 AND A 1ST DOWN. QB SWEEP ON 3RD & 13. WOW. THAT WOULD LEAD TO A PHIL DAWSON F.G. AND A NINERS 5 PT. LEAD. SO KELLY PROBABLY KICKING HIMSELF FOR ACCEPTING THAT PENALTY. MEANTIME FOLES TO JEREMY MACLIN FOR A GAIN OF 22. GREAT CATCH MAN. BUT HARBAUGH WANTS TO CHALLENGE THE COMPLETION CALL...AND THE RULING WAS CONFIRMED. SO THE NINERS LOSE THE CHALLENGE AND THEIR FINAL TIMEOUT. WOULD THAT COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM? 3 PLAYS LATER FOLES LOOKING FOR MACLIN AND IT IS INCOMPLETE. WHICH WHY DO QBS DRIFT BACK WHEN NO ONE'S RUSHING? NOW ON 2ND & GOAL. SHADY MCCOY WHO'S BEEN VERY QUIET THIS YEAR AVERAGING LESS THAN 3 YDS. PER CARRY CAN'T GET IN THE END ZONE. SHADY'S LOOKING TO GET DOWN THERE. SHADY'S LOOKING TO GET DOWN THERE BABY. 3RD & GOAL, FOLES TO BRENT CELEK AND THAT ONE'S OUT OF REACH. SO WHAT DO YOU DO? DO YOU KICK THE F.G., UNDER 2 MINS. TO GO? NO, LET'S GO FOR IT. YOU GO FOR IT ON 4TH & GOAL. FOLES, MACLIN FOR THE INCOMPLETION. GIVE HIM A CHANCE. GIVE HIM A CHANCE! NEVER DID. SO THE NINERS TAKE OVER. 3RD & 5 INSIDE THEIR OWN 10. FRANK GORE BOTTLED UP. SO S.F. FORCED TO PUNT WITH STILL OVER A MIN. AND A HALF TO GO. FOLES NEEDING A TD. TO DARREN SPROLES. YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY. WHAT WAS THAT? WHO CALLED THAT PLAY? THEN 2 PLAYS LATER ON 4TH & 24, FOLES TO MACLIN. IT IS PICKED OFF BY PARISH COX. AND SO THE NINERS IMPROVE TO 2-2.
1:43:25;14 - JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
FIRST START OF BLAKE BORTLES CAREER. THE #3 OVERALL PICK GETTING IT DONE IN SUNNY S.D. IN THE FIRST HALF. THEY ALREADY HAVE 7 PTS. ON THE BOARD. LET'S MAKE IT 14. THE TD. TOSS TO NICK JACOBS. THAT'S NICK, N-I-C. LOOK AT THAT TALL ... HE CAN GET IT. NICE BALL. FLAG WAS ON THE DEFENSE, BY THE WAY, AND THE JAGS ARE UP 4. BUT HERE COMES PHILIP TO EDDIE ROYALE WITH CHEESE. SEVERAL TDS. LAST WEEK. NICE WHEEL ROUTE. CHARGERS UP 3 AT THE BREAK. 3RD QUARTER. HE'S FIRED UP. RIVERS LOOKING FOR MALCOLM FLOYD. L.T. I ALWAYS EXPECT THIS GUY TO LIKE DO HUGE THINGS. WELL HE HAD, HE'S HAD A PROBLEM OF STAYING HEALTHY. WHEN HE'S HEALTHY HE CAN DO THIS. RIVERS 3RD TD. OF THE DAY AND THE BOLTS ARE UP BY 10. NEXT JAGS DRIVE, BORTLES, GONNA BE LOOKING FOR ... SHORTS. INSTEAD IT'S BRANDON FLOWERS, FORMER CHIEF PICKING IT OFF. A LITTLE BIT LATE. HE CAME ALL THE WAY BACK IN HIS PROGRESSION AND HE WAS LATE TO THAT THROW. 3RD INT. ALREADY THIS YEAR FOR BORTLES. REMEMBER HE PLAYED IN THE 2ND HALF LAST WEEK AGAINST THE COLTS. 4TH QUARTER, BORTLES LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ROOKIE IN ALAN ROBINSON. AND INSTEAD IT'S THE PRO BOWLER ERIC WELLS SAYING, "I'LL TAKE THAT. THANK YOU." ERIC WELLS CAN PLAY THIS GAME MAN. I MEAN HE CAN REALLY, VERY UNDERRATED. HE'S A PRO BOWLER BUT HE SHOULD BE MENTIONED AMONGST THE BEST, THE BEST SAFETIES IN THE GAME. CHARGERS IMPROVE TO 3-1. RIVERS THREW FOR 377.
1:45:03;14 - NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
THIS WAS REALLY ALL ABOUT THE RUNNING GAME AND THE DALLAS DEFENSE AS WELL. SEAN PAYTON, JASON GARRETT REUNITED. REMEMBER THE '01 GIANTS. PAYTON THE O.C. GARRETT ONE OF THE QBS ON THAT ROSTER. FIRST DRIVE ROMO CAME OUT ON FIRE. 3RD & 3. KEEPING THE PLAY ALIVE, SOMETHING HE DOES OH SO WELL. THIS IS ROMOESQUE. YEA. YOU SEE HERE HIS BACK IS FEELING A LITTLE BIT BETTER NOW. TONY'S STARTING TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HE USED TO DO. LOOK AT THE FLAG. SEE, JAIRUS KNOCKS DOWN WITTEN. HE'S LIKE, "WHERE'S THE FLAG?!" YEA. YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GONNA CATCH IT ANYWAY. FORGET THE FLAG. GIVE ME THE STATS. WAY TO GET BACK UP AND KEEP PLAYING. ONLY ... ABOUT 10 SECONDS. 7 PLAYS LATER THERE'S JAIRUS BYRD. HE CAN'T STAY WITH TERRENCE WILLIAMS. THIS MAN CAN PLAY THE GAME. TONY, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT YOUNG MAN RIGHT THERE. WILLIAMS? YEA. I MEAN I LIKE HIM. I LIKE... AND WHO'S THE MORON THAT BENCHED HIM IN FANTASY? THAT'D BE SOMEBODY DOWN HERE. MORRIS CLAIBORNE. ROUGH WEEK FOR HIM. WALKED OUT OF PRACTICE AND THEN HE SUFFERED A KNEE SPRAIN. WAS DONE FOR THE NIGHT. PRAYING FOR YOU MAN. YEA, THAT'S WHEN YOU GOT A LOT ON YOUR MIND RIGHT THERE. 2ND QUARTER SAINTS DOWN 10-ZIP. DREW BREES LOOKING FOR ROBERT MEACHAM. BRUCE CARTER TIPS IT AND JUSTIN DURANT PICKS IT. I HATE THAT THE COWBOYS LOST THAT BRUCE CARTER KID RIGHT THERE. SAY WHAT YOU WILL BUT THAT BOY WAS RUNNING AROUND TIPPING BALLS, PLAYING HARD. ENDED UP INJURING A QUAD LATER IN THIS GAME. BUT DEMARCO MURRAY, THE NFL'S LEADING RUSHER, COMING IN MARSHALL. BOY, HE IS OFF TO A GREAT START. LISTEN, IF HE CONTINUES TO RUN LIKE THIS, THAT OFF. LINE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE; OH MAN, THIS IS ...THEY CAN GO FAR. I'M GONNA SAY THAT. WELL HERE, LOOK AT HIM BOWLING OVER WOULD-BE TACKLERS FOR A GAIN OF 22. WHERE THEY GOING? THAT'S FOR REAL RUNNING. THAT'S ADRIAN PETERSON TYPE. LET'S TALK ABOUT IN THE PLAYOFFS. BUT YOU SAID THEY GO FAR. IN THE PLAYOFFS. THEN 8 PLAYS LATER ROMO SEES 8 SAINTS DEFENDERS IN THE BOX SO HE HITS WILLIAMS. THAT'S ANOTHER SCORE AND DALLAS IS UP 24-ZIP AT THE BREAK. REMEMBER LAST TIME THESE 2 TEAMS PLAYED. SAINTS ALMOST DROPPED 50 IN MORE THAN 630 YDS. OF TOTAL OFFENSE. SEAN PAYTON'S TEAM 0 PTS. IN THE 1ST HALF FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE WK. 8 OF 2011. THEY HAVE PROBLEMS. THE 3RD QUARTER, SAINTS BALL. DREW BREES...INCOMPLETE LOOKING FOR BRANDON COOKS. THEY HAD TO SETTLE FOR A ..MEASLY LITTLE F.G. GET BACK WITHIN 3 SCORES. HERE COMES DALLAS. 3RD & 5. ROMO ...CAN'T FIND ANYBODY SO THERE HE GOES! MAN, THAT'S HEALTHY ROMO RIGHT THERE BOY. LOOK AT THAT RIGHT THERE. HE JUST HAS THAT LITTLE BIT THING THAT HE CAN ELUDE PEOPLE. 21 YDS., THE LONGEST SCAMPER OF HIS CAREER AND THEN, YOU KNOW WHAT, LET THIS GUY DO THE RUNNING MARSHALL. I'M TELLING YOU, IT'S IMPRESSIVE TO RUN. IF HE CAN STAY HEALTHY, I'M GONNA SAY THAT. THIS SEASON HE SHOULD, HE WILL LEAD THE LEAGUE IN RUSHING THE WAY THAT THEY'RE RUNNING THE FOOTBALL. HE'S ON PACE FOR MORE THAN 2,000 YDS., BY THE WAY. LATER ON BREES TO JIMMY GRAHAM WHO HAD A ROUGH 1ST 3 QUARTERS. HE COUGHS IT UP. 3 LETTERS. BRANDON CARR RECOVERS. WHAT 3 LETTERS? AN M.V. AND A P. OH, I THOUGHT YOU MEANT I-N-J. ONTO THE 4TH, SAINTS DOWN BY 21. BREES LOOKING FOR JIMMY GRAHAM WHO'S GONNA SOMERSAULT INTO THE END ZONE. GRAHAM IS A BALLER, MAN.

SO THEY GOTTA PUNT IT AWAY. SAINTS STILL WITH TIME. GREAT CALL BY ROB RYAN. THIS IS CRAZY. 4TH & 9, THE SAINTS, THEY DON'T LET DREW BREES GO FOR IT. SOME STUFF HAPPENED BEFORE THIS. THIS IS ... THEY GO FOR THE PUNT. THEY RUN THE FAKE PUNT. THOMAS MORESTEAD'S GONNA THROW! COME ON! YOU HAD YOUR PREVENT DEFENSE ON THE FIELD. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN DO SOMETHING CRAZY LIKE THIS WITH A PREVENT DEFENSE ON THE FIELD? THAT'S NOT THE PUNT RETURN UNIT. IT'S A TURNOVER ON DOWNS AND ROMO, IS HE GONNA HAND IT OFF TO DEMARCO MURRAY WHO RAN FOR A BUCK 49 ON THE NIGHT? NAH. HE'S GONNA GET SOME STATS OF HIS OWN. 22 OF 29. 262. 3 SCORES. THIS ONE TO DEZ. TAKE WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES YOU EVEN THIS LATE IN THE GAME. I GOTTA CALL THAT KID BECAUSE THE STUFF THEY'RE TEACHING HIM DOWN THERE DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD CORNER. COWBOYS IMPROVE TO 3-1. SAINTS FALL TO 1-3 THROUGH THE FIRST MONTH OF THE NFL SEASON.
