NFC SOUTH. ATLANTA FALCONS, CAROLINA PANTHERS. RON RIVERA, MIKE SMITH BOTH UNDER 500 THIS YEAR BUT THE WINNER COULD BE IN 1ST PLACE IN THE NFC SOUTH, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. ALRIGHT, FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME HERE NEWTON'S SACKED BY AN UNTOUCHED TYSON JACKSON; AND IN THE PROCESS TOOK A BIG TIME BLOW TO THE HEAD. JACKSON WOULD BE PENALIZED ON THE PLAY AND THEN NEWTON, TRYING TO CLEAR THE COBWEBS. ALRIGHT, SAME POSSESSION. 5 PLAYS LATER, NEWTON THEN FIRING TO THE SIDE LOOKING FOR GREG OLSEN BUT THEN IT'S INTERCEPTED BY ... ISHMAEL. NEWTON'S 7TH CONSECUTIVE GAME WITH AN INTERCEPTION. A GREAT PLAY BY ISHMAEL TO KEEP HIS EYES FOCUSED ON THE BALL AND PULL DOWN THE INTERCEPTION. ALRIGHT, 3RD QUARTER NOW. IT'S 6-3. NEWTON LOOKING FOR CALVIN BENJAMIN ON A SLANT BUT THEN INTERCEPTED BY DESMOND TRUANT. FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEWTON WITH MULTIPLE INTERCEPTIONS IN BACK-TO-BACK GAMES. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. TRUFANT READS THE SLANT ALL THE WAY. JUMPS THE ROUTE. AND THEN PICKS THE BALL OFF. THAT WOULD LEAD TO ANOTHER MATT BRYANT F.G. AND THE FALCONS LED 9-3. LATER IN THE 3RD QUARTER, SAME SCORE. FALCONS DRIVING. THAT WOULD BE RODDY WHITE CONNECTING ON A 2 YD. TD. WHITE'S 5TH TD. OF THE YEAR. 5TH STRAIGHT VS. THE PANTHERS WITH A TD. CATCH. ALRIGHT, 4TH QUARTER. PANTHERS WITH IT NOW. CAM NEWTON, THE KEEPER. 15 YD. GAIN FOR CAM NEWTON. IT'S NEWTON'S LONGEST RUN OF THE SEASON, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. VERY NEXT PLAY, NEWTON DOING IT THROUGH THE AIR THIS TIME FROM THE SHOTGUN. LOOKING FOR HIS FAVORITE ROOKIE RECEIVER, KELVIN BENJAMIN. CONCENTRATION FOLKS. YES SIR. KELVIN BENJAMIN LIKES IT. THAT'S A TD. MARCUS TRUFANT, GREAT COVERAGE BUT A BETTER PLAY BY KELVIN BENJAMIN, AND THE PANTHERS TRAIL 16-10. ALRIGHT, NEXT FALCONS POSSESSION.

HE'S PRETTY FIRED-UP. GRAHAMA GUNEAUX... HE MISSES WIDE LEFT. NO GOOD ON THE 46 YD. F.G. AND THE FALCONS WOULD TAKE A MINUTE OFF THE CLOCK BUT THEN PUNT BACK TO THE PANTHERS. THEY GOT A COUPLE MORE SHOTS HERE. 8 SECS. TO GO NOW. CAM NEWTON FINDS KELVIN BENJAMIN TO THE 50, TO THE 45. HANDS IT OFF AND THEN GOES OUT OF BOUNDS. HE'S GOT 1 SEC. LEFT. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THAT MEANS GRAHAM GUNEAUX'S GONNA COME ON FOR A 63YD. F.G. TRY. THE KICK...OH IT'S BLOCKED AT THE LINE. HAD NO CHANCE. HE HAD TO GO LOW LINE DRIVE AND, UNFORTUNATELY, WAS THEN BLOCKED AT THE LINE.; AND THE FALCONS THEN GO HOLD ON TO WIN, 19-17.
1:17:48;11 - DENVER BRONCOS @ ST. LOUIS RAMS
BRONCOS AND RAMS, AND SHAWN HILL CAME OUT SWINGING! KENNY BRITT GETS BEHIND THE SAFETY AND WHAT IN THE WORLD'S GOING ON? IT'S 10-0 AND SHAWN HILL'S FEELING THE FLAVOR RIGHT THERE, ISN'T HE? START OF A BIG DAY FOR KENNY BRITT. YEP. 3RD & 1 FOR THE BRONCOS AND PEYTON MANNING ALMOST PICKED OFF THERE. IT WAS THAT KIND OF 1ST HALF. THEN PEYTON FINALLY GETS THINGS GOING LATE IN THE 2ND QUARTER. DEMARIUS THOMAS RIGHT HERE BUT THOMAS WOULD LEAVE THE GAME LATER WITH AN ANKLE INJURY, AND THEN JUST GO DOWNTOWN BECAUSE EMANUEL SANDERS, I FEEL LIKE HE'S WIDE OPEN. I KNOW ONE THING. HE'S FAST AND HE SPLIT THE COVERAGE AND HE WAS EXACTLY THAT WIDE OPEN. SANDERS SCORES THERE AND HERE COME THE BRONCOS BUT THEN WATCH SANDERS GET LIT UP. THAT FULL SPEED IS VICIOUS WHEN YOU SLOW IT DOWN, IS THAT HAT-TO-HAT? IT DOESN'T HAVE .. SHOW ANYTHING TO HEAD. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HAT-TO-HAT. IT CAN BE SHOULDER PAD TO THE HAT. NOW DO YOU GET ANY LEEWAY BECAUSE SANDERS DOVE? NO. UNFORTUNATE NOT. UNFORTUNATELY NOW. THEN LATER PEYTON MANNING PICKED OFF. ALEC OGLETREE THERE. WHAT AN ATHLETIC PLAY BY THE YOUNG LINEBACKER TRYING TO HIT THAT BACK HIP AS PEYTON DOES ALL THE TIME DOWN THE SEAM. AND ALEC FLIPS HIS HIPS AND GETS A NICE INTERCEPTION. WE SAID 4 MAN PRESSURE GETTING HOME ON PEYTON MANNING. PEYTON MANNING, EVEN THE GREAT PEYTON MANNING. YOU THROW THE BALL 54 TIMES, THAT'S USUALLY NOT A GOOD THING. AND THEN JUST PEYTON HARASSED AND RUSHED, AND WHEN HE'S RUSHED BAD THINGS HAPPEN FOR THE BRONCOS. 3RD STRAIGHT GAME FOR PEYTON WITH 2 INTERCEPTIONS. THAT'S NOT GOOD. TOUGH DAY FOR THE MANNING BOYS, HUH? YEA, 6 INTERCEPTIONS ON THE DAY. 4 OF THEM FOR ELI. 2 FOR PEYTON.
1:19:51;13 - CINCINNATI BENGALS @ NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
...THE CINCY BENGALS. LET'S CHECK IN ON THE BENGALS DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS, TAKING ON DREW BREES AND CREW; AND JERMAIN GRESHAM HAD A GOOD DAY. LOOK AT HIM GET IN THERE. THAT IS A TD. THE BALL BROKE THE PLANE BUT YOU DON'T LIKE THE DANCE AFTERWARDS. YOU CAME WITHIN A HAIR, A CHINNY CHIN CHIN OF LOSING THE BALL. WELL, THAT WAS HIS FIRST ONE OF THE YEA, RIGHT, SO? IT WAS HIS FIRST. WE'LL GIVE HIM A PASS ON THAT ONE. WE'LL GIVE HIM A PASS. DREW BREES, MEANWHILE, LOOKING AND ..WHAT'S THAT CALLED? TOE DRAG SWAG. LOOKS LIKE AARON RODGERS AND JORDY NELSON. THROW THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS FOR A RECEPTION. HEY, LISTEN, NOT TOO MANY GUYS CAN PULL THAT OFF. HERE'S 3RD AND GOAL. DON'T THROW THE BALL. FALL BACK IN THAT SITUATION, HEATH EVANS. THAT WAS ERIC LORDE. IF THAT WAS ME IT WOULD'VE BEEN THE SAME RESULT. THERE WAS 2 GUYS THAT HIT HIM AS SOON AS HE CAUGHT IT. JEREMY HILL THOUGH DOING WORK. OH GOODNESS. I DIDN'T EXPECT...BACK IN LOUISIANA. YEA, I DIDN'T EXPECT THE BENGALS TO HAVE THE SUCCESS ON THE GROUND THAT THEY HAD TODAY. IS THIS THE BENGALS OR IS THIS N.O.? WELL, THE BENGALS PUTTING THE WORK ON THE GROUND OF THIS N.O. SAINTS DEFENSE. SO YOU THINK IT'S GOOD BENGALS, NOT BAD...? WELL RIGHT BEFORE HALF YOU' FIGURE THEY'RE RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK. THEN JEREMY HILL WITH THE BIG RUN GETS DOWN BEFORE THE CLOCK EXPIRES. ONE SECOND LEFT. TIMEOUT. ADD SOME POINTS TO IT. YEA THEY DID. JEREMY HILL 27. YEP. 27 CARRIES FOR 152 COMING OFF 2 WKS. AGO 154 YD. PERFORMANCE. GEO BERNARD WILL BE BACK. AND THEN ..OH COME ON MAN. AND THEN GRESHAM SCORES. THE GUY SNATCHES THE BALL AWAY FROM THE LADY. SHE'S SWEET TALKING HIM. SHE NEVER GOT THE BALL. SHE’LL GET IT BACK. SHE NEVER GOT THE BALL. I'M HERE TO TEAL YOU, SHE NEVER GOT THE BALL. IF OUR GUYS CAN SHOW US THAT HIGHLIGHT LATER WE'LL SHOW YOU. ALRIGHT. SO THEN CINCY...A.J. GREEN. JUST LITERALLY PUTS IT AWA. A.J. GREEN, GREAT CATCH. GREAT THROW BY ANDY DALTON, AND WELL IF IT WORKED ONCE, USE IT AGAIN. A.J. GREEN TD. TIME. HOW HAPPY IS HE THAT THIS GUYS' BACK. WATCH IT AGAIN. WELL IT'S A THING OF BEAUTY. THE FIRST ONE RAFAEL BUSH... 1, DIDN’T WANT TO HIT HIT HIM. 2. O.K. SO HE DID HAVE POSSESSION. WE QUESTIONED WHETHER THE LEFT FOOT WAS DOWN BUT IT LOOKED LIKE HE DID JUST AS IT HIT AND THEN, VERY GOOD. I'LL TAKE IT. HUGE WIN FOR THE BENGALS S THEY GO TO N.O. BACK-TO-BACK LOSSES FOR N.O. WOW. THIS IS KIND OF A SIGNATURE WIN FOR THE BENGALS, I THINK, EVEN THOUGH N.O. IS STRUGGLING AND THAT'S BACK-TO-BACK HOME LOSSES FOR SEATTLE. OR THE SAINTS. EXCUSE ME. CAN WE RESEARCH SOMETHING? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE SAINTS SCORED 10 PTS. AT HOME? WOW. GOOD POINT. RAVENS, BY THE WAY, COMING UP NEXT FOR THE SAINTS. SO IT DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER. AND THEN PITTS.
1:22:36;05 - SEATTLE SEAHAWKS @ KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
2 OF THE LOUDEST PLACES TO PLAY IN THE NFL, ARROWHEAD, NO DOUBT! SUPER LOUD TODAY FOR THIS ONE. ALEX SMITH AND THE CHIEFS LOOKING FOR THEIR 5TH STRAIGHT WIN. A LITTLE OPTION HERE. BIG TIME OPTION. JAMAL CHARLES TAKES IT IN FOR THE TC. THE FIRST OPENING DRIVE TOUCHDOWN ALLOWED BY THE SEAHAWKS NOT JUST THIS SEASON BUT IN THEIR LAST 29 GAMES. MOVE ON TO THE 2ND QUARTER. RUSSELL WILSON DOING A LITTLE SCRAMBLING HERE. SO GOOD IN TH POCKET BUYING TIME, MAKING THINGS HAPPEN. THIS IS NOT AN EASY THROW F FIND DOUG ... UNBELIEVABLE THROW AND AS A DEF. BACK THERE'S JUST NO WAY YOU CAN STAY IN POSITION FOR THAT LONG WHEN HE CAN BUY THAT MUCH TIME. THAT'S WHY RUSSELL WILSON'S SO DANGEROUS. SPEAKING OF DANGEROUS. ONCE JAMAL CHARLES GETS GOING, HE'S HARD TO STOP, L.T. YEA, JUST THE EXPLOSIVENESS THROUGH THE HOLE AND JUST HIS ABILITY TO FIND THE END ZONE IS UNBELIEVABLE. SO THE CHIEFS GO UP 14-7. UP 17-13 NOW IN THE 3RD. JAMAL CHARLES. .. WOW...COUGHS IT UP AS HE GOES UP THE MIDDLE. HE GETS HIT BY EARL THOMAS THERE. BYRON MAXWELL RECOVERS FOR THE SEAHAWKS. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS LIKE THIS. YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR EXTRA YDS. YOU DON'T SEE THE DEFENDER COME IN AND TACKLE THE FOOTBALL. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. TOUGH BREAK FOR JAMAL CHARLES THERE. THERE'S SUCH A FINE LINE, L.T., FIGHTING FOR EXTRA YDS. AND GOING DOWN WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THOSE GUYS AROUND YOU. THIS IS NOT A NAME WE HAVE SAID VERY OFTEN. TORY MUAKI FOR THE TD. OH THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT NAME IN K.C. THOUGH. A FORMER CHIEFS. I'M SURE THAT WAS SWEET FOR HIM. SEAHAWKS UP 20-17. 4TH QUARTER NOW. LOOK AT THE MOVES. JUST SIT AND WATCH PEOPLE. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. JUST THE WAY HE'S ABLE TO PICK HIS WAY THROUGH THE HOLES. HE'S A TREMENDOUS RUNNER. I LOVE TO WATCH JAMAL CHARLES RUN. 47 YDS. ON THAT RUN. THE LONGEST RUN OF THE SEASON FOR CHARLES. THAT LED TO A NILE DAVIS TD. CHIEFS GO UP 24-20. BIT MOMENT HERE THOUGH. MAX UNGER WOULD LEAVE THE GAME INJURED ON THIS PLAY, AND THIS IS A BIG IMPORTANT MEMBER OF THIS OFF. LINE. ABSOLUTELY. AND LOST BRANDON ... ON THE DEF. LINE. NOW YOU LOSE MAX UNGER. THOSE ARE 2 PILLARS FOR THEIR FRONTS. HERE'S MARSHAWN LYNCH. STOPPED SHORT OF THE GOAL LINE. THE SEAHAWKS GOING FOR IT ON 4TH DOWN. SO IT'S 4TH & GOAL FROM THE 2. WILSON CAN'T GET IT TO BALDWIN. BALDWIN WANTS THE FLAG BUT HE AIN'T GONNA GET IT HERE. ALMOST LIKE TO SEE THEM EITHER RUN THE READ OPTION THERE WITH RUSSELL WILSON. LET HIM RUN AROUND ABOUT A LITTLE BIT. I WASN'T CRAZY ABOUT THAT PLAY CALL. ALRIGHT. NEXT SEAHAWKS POSSESSION, IT'S WILSON TO KEARSE FOR 8 YDS. AND A 1ST DOWN. ANDY REID’S' GONNA CHALLENGE THE SPOT THOUGH. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN MARKER. YOU CAN SEE IT THERE BY ALMOST A HALF A YD. SO THE CALL'S REVERSED. IT'S GONNA BE 4TH DOWN FOR THE SEAHAWKS. THIS TIME THEY GIVE IT TO LYNCH AND HE'S STUFFED AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. YOU DON'T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN BUT THIS CHIEFS D-LINE WAS STOUT, AND THE CHIEFS TAKE OVER. THAT'S THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING THIS SEATTLE TEAM, IS BE PHYSICAL UP FRONT WITH THEM. WILSON'S SACKED HERE BY DONTARI POE. THIS LAST DRIVE WAS A BREAKDOWN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LINE. J.R. SUSSE BEAT ON THAT PLAY. NOW YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE RIGHT TACKLE BEAT CLEAN OFF THE EDGE. FORCES RUSSELL WILSON TO HAVE TO GET RID OF THE BALL EARLY. JUST A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WILSON PRESSURED AGAIN TRYING TO GET TO PAUL ROBINSON. FALLS INCOMPLETE. THE CHIEFS TAKE OVER AND THEY TAKE HOME A VICTORY, 24-20 OVER THE DEFENDING S.B. CHAMPIONS AND THE REMAINING SCHEDULE FOR THE SEAHAWKS, NOT THE EASIEST SCHEDULE I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT'S POSSIBLE. IT’S POSSIBLE THE DEFENDING S.B. CHAMPIONS COULD GET SHUTOUT OF THE POST-SEASON. YEA, AND YOU LOOK AT THE ATTRITION THEY'VE HAD. I MEAN TALK ABOUT BRANDON ..LAST WEEK. NOW YOU LOOK AT POSSIBLY LOSING MAX UNGER. THIS TEAM'S BUILT ON PHYSICALITY. YOU TAKE AWAY SOME OF THOSE BIG BODIES, LOSE RED BRYANT IN FREE AGENCY. NOT NEARLY AS DOMINANT UPFRONT AS THEY WERE LAST YEAR. ON THE FLIPSIDE, YOU HAVE THE CHIEFS NOW WITH 7 WINS, WHO COULD BE PLAYING THEIR WAY TOWARDS ONE OF THE TOP SPOTS IN THE AFC IN TERMS OF THE POST SEASON.
1:27:09;04 - TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
ALRIGHT, SO T.B. TAKING ON WASH. JAY GRUDEN TRYING RALLY THE TEAM AROUND ROBERT GRIFFIN III, WHO'S JUST 1-7 IN HIS LAST 8 STARTS; AND, GUESS WHAT, HE WOULD STRUGGLE AGAIN. ROBERT GRIFFIN HERE SCRAMBLING OUT OF THE POCKET, AND THEN THE BALL'S TIPPED UP IN THE AIR AND THEN INTERCEPTED BY DANNY LANSANTA. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. BALL TIPPED UP, AND IT'S TIPPED UP BY NILES PAUL RIGHT INTO THE DEFENDER'S ARMS. THAT WOULD LEAD TO A PATRICK MURRAY 32 YDS. F.G. AND THE BUCS LED 3-0. THAT RIGHT THERE IS TRENT WILLIAMS LEAVING DURING THAT POSSESSION. LATER, HOW ABOUT THIS, ANOTHER TIPPED BALL. THIS TIME INTERCEPTED BY JONATHAN BANKS. 19 YD. RETURN FOR A TD. AND THE BUCS FIND THEMSELVES SUP 10-0. ENSUING WASH. POSSESSION. HERE'S GRIFFIN ELUDING THE RUSH. SCRAMBLING UP THE MIDDLE THEN, WHOA, WATCH OUT. DIVING OVER THE TOP TO PICKUP SOME EXTRA YDS. AND THAT WOULD BE A 1ST DOWN. 2ND QUARTER NOW. GRIFFIN LOOKING TO ESCAPE THE POCKET. WHERE’S HE GOING, RIGHT, LEFT? NOPE. HE'S GONNA GET CRUSHED BY GERALD MCCOY FOR A LOSS OF 10 YDS. GRIFFIN FRUSTRATED OBVIOUSLY. BUCS STILL LEAD 10-0. 2ND QUARTER NOW. BUCS WITH IT. JOSH MCCOWN FINDING HIS NEW FAVORITE TARGET MIKE EVANS; AND THE ROOKIE AD A HUGE DAY TODAY. A 51 YD. COMPLETION THERE. THAT ALSO WOULD LEAD OT A MURRAY F.G. AND THE BUCS LED 13-0. THEN, HOW ABOUT THIS. THIS WOULD BE GRIFFIN TO ROY HALU, AND HE'S GONNA DASH INTO THE END ZONE FROM 30 YDS. OUT, AND THE REDSKINS TRAIL BY JUST ..BY JUST 6, 13-7. GRIFFIN FINISHED WITH 207 YDS., 1 TD. AND THOSE 2 INTERCEPTIONS YOU SAW EARLIER. 3RD QUARTER NOW. WASH. AGAIN. GRIFFIN SACKED HERE. BY MICHAEL JOHNSON FOR A LOSS OF 6, AND THE BUCS RECORDED 6 SACKS ON THE DAY. 3RD QUARTER. BUCS WITH IT. JOSH MCCOWN. I THOUGHT HE LIKED LIKE EVANS, RIGHT? HERE YOU GO. 36 YD. TD. AND THE BUCS LED 20-7. NEXT BUCS POSSESSION. THIS RIGHT HERE ON 3RD DOWN. 3RD & 13. JOSH MCCOWN FIRES. GUESS WHO? MIKE EVANS. A 34 YD. COMPLETION. IF YOU CAN'T TELL, HE'S STARTING TO PILE UP SOME YDS., FOLKS. WE'LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. ALRIGHT HERE WE GO. 4TH QUARTER NOW. MCCOWN FINDS GUESS WHO? MIKE EVANS AGAIN. ANOTHER TD. THIS ONE OF THE 56 YD. VARIETY. EVANS FINISHED WITH 7 CATCHES, 207 YDS., AND 2 TDS. THE BUCS WIN 27-7.
1:30:12;08 - BUFFALO BILLS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS
..IMPROVE TO 6-4 WITH A WIN OVER THEIR DIV. RIVAL. WE KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE TIGHT. LOOK AT THE LIGHTS. THURS. NIGHT. WELL, THE BILLS AND THEIR REDONE, WELL, IT'S THE WORST IN THE NFL AND THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SCORING IN THE RED ZONE. NO WAY TO PUT THAT EASY AND IT DIDN'T IMPROVE TONIGHT EITHER. ORTON'S PASS DEFLECTED IN THE FIRST QUARTER. HOW ABOUT BOOBY DICKS. HE CAN GET SOMETHING GOING. UH UH. BOBBY'S STUFFED. HEY, WE DON'T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT THIS DOLPHINS DEFENSE. STOP LAUGHING AMBER. NEXT PLAY 3RDF & GOAL. KYLE ORTON TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. HE CAN'T DO IT EITHER. I REALLY LIKE THE NAME BOOBY. BOOBY'S STUFFED! ...KYLE WAS STUFFED THERE TOO. BUT THE BILLS PASS RUSH KEPT THEM IN IT. THEY LEAD THE NFL IN SACKS COMING IN. THAT'S NOT A SACK THOUGH. THAT'S NOT A SACK. HE GOT PAST THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE BUT IT'S GOOD...BY YOU. STRIPPING THE BALL OFF FROM THE BACK. NOT GIVING UP OR GETTING AFTER THE QB. TANNEHILL SAW HIM. I KNOW! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDN'T SECURE THE FOOTBALL. WELL, THAT WASN'T A SACK BUT IT IS AN INTERESTING STAT. YOU GUYS KNOW HOW I LOVE MY STATS. 3RD QUARTER. OH YES WE DO. THERE'S ANOTHER ONE FOR YOU. IS THAT A SACK? THAT IS A SACK. THAT'S A SACK? YES INDEED. WILLIE KNOWS ALL ABOUT THEM. LOOK AT THE RED CONTACTS. OOH, HE THAT’S SCARY. HE SAID WHEN HE WEARS THEM HE JUST FEELS LIKE HE'S PLAYING BEHIND A SHIELD. WELL HE'S GOT A SHIELD TOO. WELL HE HAS 2 SHIELDS THEN I GUESS. YOU CALLED THIS OUT. HEY, LISTEN, I'M JUST GLAD BRIAN YOU RESPONDED BUDDY. RYAN TANNEHILL, GOOD JOB GETTING HIM THE BALL. 2 PLAYS LATER, 2ND & 1. TANNEHILL WAITING. FIRING TO BRANDON GIBSON FOR THE TD. DOLPHINS TAKE A 10-9 LEAD. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT HOW THIS WENT DOWN HERE. A LITTLE .. ON EACH EACH OTHER, RIGHT? GUYS RAN INTO EACH OTHER TRYING TO GET GIBSON. JUST FOUND A HOLE IN THE DEFENSE. SETTLED DOWN AND MADE A GOOD CATCH. HERE COME T4HE BILLS, KYLE ORTON..OR NOT? SEE, HE'S IN HIS END ZONE. HE GETS CALLED FOR INTENTIONAL GROUNDING. YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. BUT YOU DIDN'T LIKE THIS CALL THOUGH DID YOU DAN? WELL I REALLY DIDN'T. I THOUGHT SAMMY WAS... HE WAS RUNNING THE CORNER ROUTE AND HE WAS LIKE RUNNING THE DOUBLE MOVE. SO HE WAS TRYING TO GET BACK TO THE CORNER OF THE SIDELINE WHICH THE BALL WAS ALREADY THROWN. WELL YOU CAN SEE KYLE ORTON WAS ARGUING. DOLPHINS GO UP 12-9 BUT JARVIS LANDRY, THE ROOKIE WIDE RECEIVER GIVES IT RIGHT BACK OFF OF THE FREAK KICK. NICK OROBIE RECOVERS. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. NIGEL BRADOM FORCING THE FUMBLE. BIG HIT THERE ROOKIE MISTAKE. THIS REALLY COULD'VE SWAYED THE TIDES. GOOD JOB BY THE DOLPHINS BOUNCING BACK AFTER A BIG TURNOVER THERE. YEA, YOU CAN SEE LANDRY BUMMED OUT. SO THE BILLS HAVE A CHANCE HERE. WILLIE, MISSED OPPORTUNITY ON A BIG PLAY. MISSED OPPORTUNITY. ALMOST PICKED OFF BY LOUIS. 4TH QUARTER NOW. SAME BILLS DRIVE. THIS IS JUST 3 PLAYS LATER. DAN CARPENTER LINING UP FOR A 47 YD. F.G. NO GOOD. WIDE LEFT. AND RIGHT HERE DAN. THIS IS WHERE THINGS START TO JUST TURN VERY VERY UGLY FOR THE BUFFALO BILLS, AFTER THE MISSED F.G. ALL THE MOMENTUM GOING TOWARDS MIAMI'S WAY. HERE'S TANNEHILL ON 2ND & 6 LOOKING FOR MIKE WALLACE BUT THERE'S A PENALTY ON STEPHON GILMORE FOR PASS INTERFERENCE. THAT WAS A GOOD PLAY. YOU DON'T LIKE THIS CAL AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. I THINK IT WAS A GOOD PLAY, GREAT COVERAGE. HE DIDN'T MAKE CONTACT. HE WAS PLAYING THE BALL. I DON'T KNOW. THAT WAS QUESTIONABLE TO ME. WE'LL HAVE TO ASK DEAN BLANDINO ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK. WELL HERE'S JARVIS LANDRY MAKING UP FOR THE EARLIER FUMBLE. JUST GREAT INDIVIDUAL EFFORT BY LANDRY. DID HE CROSS HIM OVER THEN HIT THE NAY NAY. I LIKE THAT, HE DID. YOU LIKE THAT? 22-9 IS THE FINAL. BIG WIN FOR THE MIAMI DOLPHINS.
1:34:14;05 - HOUSTON TEXANS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
ALRIGHT, HOW ABOUT THE HOUSTON TEXANS VS. THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. THIS WOULD BE THE TOM BRADY BACKUP BOWL. AS YOU COULD SEE, BRIAN HOYER AND RYAN MALLOTTE FROM THE PATRIOT DAYS, BACK IN 2011. BOTH WERE BACKUPS TO TOM BRADY AT SOME POINT. ALRIGHT HOW ABOUT J.J. WATT, MAN. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU SAY? WELL I GUESS WATT ELSE CAN YOU SAY, RIGHT? HE'S GONNA HAVE A BIG DAY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. THIS IS ON THE 1ST QUARTER. 1ST & GOAL. A DESIGNED FADE FOR J.J. WATT. DESIGNED FADE FOR YOUR DEF. END. HE WOULD GET HIS KNEE DOWN. DIDN'T GET THE 2ND FOOT DOWN BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER. HE GOT HIS KNEE DOWN AND THAT WOULD BE A TD. IT'S WATT'S 4TH TD. OF THE YEAR. IT'S THE MOST BY A DEF. LINEMAN SINCE 1948. WATT DID AN EXCELLENT JOB LANDING INBOUNDS AND GUESS WHAT? IT WAS .. FOR MALLOTTE'S FIRST CAREER TD. PASS TO A DEF. END. THEN HE DOES WHAT HE DOES BEST. PLAYS DEFENSE, RIGHT. HERE HE IS. HE STRIPS THE BALL FROM BRIAN HOYER. HOYER WILL PICK IT UP BUT SACKED BY J.J. WATT. BILLY CUNDIFF WOULD MISS A 38 YD. F.G. ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY. ENSUING TEXANS POSSESSION. D'ANDRE HOPKINS THE INTENDED RECEIVER THERE BUT YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY JOE HADEN GETS PAID BIG MONEY? HOW ABOUT THAT PICK RIGHT THERE. GREAT CONCENTRATION TO BREAK IT UP AND THEN INTERCEPT THE FOOTBALL. 2ND QUARTER, SPENCER LANDING OUR THERE ON THE PUNT. BUT J.J. WATT FLAGGED FOR ROUGHING THE KICKER. IT WAS ACTUALLY A 2ND ROUGHING PENALTY OF THE DAY. THAT WOULD EXTEND THE CLEVELAND DRIVE. J.J. WATT KNOWS THAT'S NOT GOOD. HE'S FRUSTRATED WITH HIMSELF. THAT'S A GOOD CALL. SO 4 PLAYS LATER ON 1ST AND 10, HERE'S BRIAN HOYER. PLAY ACTION, ROLLING AROUND, THEN FINDS ANDREW HAWKINS, AND THE HAWK WILL FLY IN THERE FOR A TD. 32 YD. TD. SCORE AND THE GAME' S TIED AT 7. HAWKINS 97 YDS. AND THAT SCORE. NEXT BROWNS POSSESSION, STILL 7 APIECE. ISIAH GROWELL. OH NO. STRIPPED BY BRIAN CUSHING AND THEN RECOVERED BY WHO ELSE BUT J.J. WATT. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. BRIAN CUSHING GETTING IN THERE. STICKING HIS BIG OL' MITT IN THE BREAD BASKET OF ISIAH CROWELL, AND THEN WATT FALLS RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. NEXT TEXANS POSSESSION. 1ST & 10. MALLOTTE HITS DOUBLE G, GARRETT GRAHAM. THIS T.E. IS IN THERE BREAKING TACKLES. A 20 YD. SCORE AND THE TEXANS TAKE A 14-7LEAD. 4TH QUARTER NOW. TEXANS LEADING 17-7. THIS IS ON 4TH & 3. BRIAN MALLOTTE FIRES ONE TO ANDREW JOHNSON ON THE RIGHT SIDELINE FOR 10 YDS. I MEAN HE WAS ABSOLUTELY BLANKETED BUT IT’S ALL GOOD. BRANDON BULLOCK WOULD KICK A F.G. TO MAKE T 20-7. THEN ENSUING KICKOFF. MARLON MOORE. LOOK AT HIM GO. OH MY GOODNESS. HE MUST'VE ATE HIS CARROTS AS A KID. SHOWING TREMENDOUS VISION HERE. DASHING DOWN THE SIDE. OH, WAIT A SECOND. THAT'D BE A HOLD. IT'S COMING BACK. THAT IS UNFORTUNATE BUT A GREAT RUN NONETHELESS BY MARLON MOORE. UNFORTUNATELY, DIDN'T COUNT FOR NOTHING. OBVIOUSLY MARLIN MOORE A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTED. ALRIGHT HOW ABOUT IT. THIS ON 4TH DOWN. HOYER TRIED TO FIND MILES AUSTIN BUT THE BALL JUST DROPPED AND THE BROWNS WOULD THEN TURN IT OVER ON DOWNS. ENSUING BROWNS POSSESSION THOUGH, HOW ABOUT THIS? LOOKING FOR AUSTIN AGAIN, BUT IT'S INTERCEPTED BY MUHAMMAD. BRIAN HOYER 330 YDS., 1 TD., 1 INTERCEPTION AS THE TEXANS GO ON TO WIN 23-7.
1:38:15;07 - SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ NEW YORK GIANTS
NOT A GOOD DAY TO BE A MANNING. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD'VE SAID THAT VERY MANY DAYS OVER THE LAST 20 YRS. OR SO FROM PEYTON WHO LOSES TO ELI WHO DID A WHOLE LOT OF THIS TODAY. PICKED OFF BY CHRIS BORLAND. BEEN A NICE YEAR FOR THE ROOKIE LINEBACKER. YEA, CHRIS BORLAND 3RD WK. IN A ROW. HE JUST MADE PLAY AFTER PLAY AFTER PLAY FOR THIS DEFENSE. SO INSTINCTIVE. YEA, YOU CAN SEE ELI JUST STARES HIM DOWN. BORLAND STEPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF BECKHAM JR. THERE. THAT WOULD LEAD TO A F.G. THE NINERS GO UP 9-7. YOU WANT MORE INTERCEPTIONS? WE HAVE MORE INTERCEPTIONS. THIS ONE BY MICHAEL WILHOTTE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELI WAS LOOKING AT THERE. HE JUST THREW IT RIGHT TO HIM. YEA, HE'S A LITTLE FRUSTRATED. TOM COUGHLIN IS BAFFLED ON THE SIDELINE BUT THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET IT FIXED. COLIN KAEPERNICK TO MICHAEL CRABTREE AND CRAB TAKES CARE OF THE REST. LOOK AT THIS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 BLUE SHIRTS IN THE PICTURE. NOT GONNA BE ON ANY TEACHING TAPES FOR HOW TO TAKE AN ANGLE FOR A DEF. BACK ON THAT PLAY. NOT THE BEST ANGLE PURSUIT. CRABTREE'S 4TH TD. OF THE YEAR. LOOK AT ALL THOSE GUYS. NICE STIFF-ARM. 16-7. THAT TD. PUTS THE 49ERS OUT FRONT. 3RD QUARTER NOW ON THE KICKOFF. THE GIANTS GOING FOR THE ONSIDE KICK, AND MARK ... RECOVERS. I LIKE IT. I LIKE THE CALL. A LITTLE GUTSY MOVE RIGHT THERE BY THE GIANTS. UNFORTUNATELY THEN IT'S NOT GONNA PAY OFF FOR HIM. NO. THE PLAY WAS CHALLENGED BY HARBAUGH. THEY'RE SAYING HE WAS DOWN. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT. YOU CAN SEE BROWN JUST NEVER REALLY HAD POSSESSION. 3 PLAYS LATER PEYTON...ELI . ELI GAVE IT RIGHT BACK TO HIM. YEA. THERE WERE 7 MANNING INTERCEPTIONS TODAY THOUGH, DAN. SO IT'S EASY TO GET THEM CONFUSED. YEA, YOU KNOW WHAT, AGAIN, IT DOESN’T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. 7? ERIC REED THIS TIME PICKING OFF ELI, AND NOT A GOOD DAY FOR THE WHOLE MANNING FAMILY. I WONDER IF THEY TALK AFTER THE GAME ABOUT IT. I DON'T THINK EITHER ONE OF THEM TALKED TODAY. THAT WOULD BE MY GUESS. THEY'RE PROBABLY GONNA WAIT A COUPLE DAYS. 51 YD. ATTEMPT HERE BY ANDY LEAK. SEE WHAT HAPPENS THERE. FIRE DRILL L.T. YEA. ALRIGHT. WE'RE PUMPED UP. RASHAD JENNINGS. TOM COUGHLIN IS. TOM COUGHLIN. EVERYBODY WONDERING WHAT'S GOING ON. HERE'S JENNINGS AND HE IS STUFFED ON 4TH & INCHES BY ANTOWANE BETHEA. THAT DEF. LINE OF THE 49E ERS CAME TO PLAY TODAY. GIANTS HAVE THE BALL NOW. I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING HERE. YOU'RE SENSING THE THEME. THIS TIME IT'S CHRIS CULLIVER, THE 4TH INTERCEPION OF THE DAY FOR ONE ELI MANNING. THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A MEETING AT THE QB TOO. HE GOT HIT BY 3 GUYS ON THAT INTERCEPTION. HARBAUGH GETS THE SOUVENIR BALL FROM CULLIVER THERE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ELI GOING DEEP FOR...YOU LOVE THIS KID. I LOVE ODELL BECKHAM JR. JUST BECAUSE EVERYTHING HE GIVES YOU. HE CAN PLAY INSIDE, OUTSIDE, RUN AFTER THE CATCH. YOU SEE HIM HIGH POINT THE FOOTBALL. HE'S EXPLOSIVE. I MEAN L.T. I THINK HE'S GONNA BE THE FAVORITE TARGET FOR THE GIANTS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I LOVE THE PASSION HE PLAYS WITH TOO D.J. MANNING AGAIN LOOKING FOR BECKHAM JR. COULDN'T GET THAT ONE. 2ND & GOAL NOW. MANNING INCOMPLETE TO RANDLE. BOTH BECKHAM, JR. AND RANDALL HAS PRETTY GOOD DAYS. BECKHAM WITH 93 YDS. RANDALL WITH 112. THEN ON 3RD & GOAL, COULDN'T HOLD ON. DONELL IN THE END ZONE AND THIS IS JUST KIND OF A FAMILIAR POSE I THINK FOR COUGHLIN TODAY. 4TH & GOAL. MANNING PICKED OFF BY BORLAND. THE 49ERS WIN IT 16-10. ELI THREW FOR 280 YDS., BUT NOBODY'S GONNA REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE HE HAD 5 INTERCEPTIONS, WHICH TIES A CAREER HIGH. ALSO HAD AN INTERCEPTION GAME LAST SEASON. HE'S NOW HAD 2 OF THOSE IN HIS CAREER.
1:42:31;12 - OAKLAND RAIDERS @ SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
THE RAIDERS GOT THEIR LAST WIN. LOOK AT THE WIN #1 AGAINST THE ... IT'S BEEN THAT LONG, HUH. BRADY GONNA GET THE FIRST PICK, I GUARANTEE THAT. OH GEEZ. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IS THAT THE FIRST POINT OF THE GAME? THAT'S THE REASON THEY'RE GONNA GET THE FIRST PICK. IT HAPPENED TO PEYTON ON THE S.B. GUYS! YEA, THAT WAS PEYTON. I HOPE HE WAS WEARING A CUP ON THAT ONE. 2 PLAYS ALTER PHILIP RIVERS LOOKING FOR MALCOLM FLOYD. WE'LL GO..WE KIND OF FORGET ABOUT THIS GUY. L.T. WE DO FORGET ABOUT HIM BUT HE'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME. THEY HAVE A GREAT CONNECTION WORKING BETWEEN THE 2. 2 POSSESSIONS LATER, CHARGERS BALL. 3RD & 5. RIVERS TO KEENAN ALLEN. INCOMPLETE AND SOMEBODY'S NOT HAPPY. HE SAID, "WHAT YOU DOING MAN?" SEE, THAT'S WHY I LIKE PHILIP. HE KEEPS IT.. FIERY GUY! LOOK, IS ... STILL PLAYING? 3RD QUARTER, 3RD & 4. THE CHARGERS RIVERS LOOKING FOR FLOYD. BUT, WE GOT A FLAG OFF. HOLDING AND RIVERS IS SHAKEN UP ON THE PLAY. OH HE'S A TOUGH GUY. SHAKE IT OFF!! HE'S PLAYED WITH A TORN ACL IN A CHAMP. GAME. HE CAN DO THIS. ONTO THE 4TH, CHARGERS BALL. STILL UP BY 10. RIVERS ... MACK GETS HIS FIRST CAREER SACK. HE'S BEEN GOOD THOUGH THIS YEAR. HE HAS BEEN GOOD. ROOKIE FRO BUFFALO. HE'S GONNA BE A GREAT PLAYER. RIVERS A LITTLE SHAKEN UP. CHARGERS STILL WIN AND OH, BY THE WAY, RAIDERS, CONGRATULATIONS. YOU ARE THE FIRST TEAM ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFF CONTENTION.
1:44:18;10 - PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
AARON RODGERS, 15 TDS., NO PICKS AT HOME THIS YEAR. 1ST QUARTER, PACKS UP 3-ZIP. FIRST AND GOAL AARON RODGERS LOOKING FOR OH... ANOTHER ROOKIE TARGET. HOW ABOUT THE ROOKIE DAVANTE ADAMS BREAKS THE PLANE. HE'S IN. RODGERS IS PUMPED UP. AND THEN HOW ABOUT LATER ON, MIKEA HYDE...WE CALL THIS...HYDE AND ...IS THIS HYDE AND SEEK? I FEEL SORRY FOR THAT PUNTER. HE ALMOST BUSTED BOTH HAMSTRINGS. 75 YDS. ON THAT ONE. SOMEBODY... LAMBEAU LEAP IT. AN UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT PENALTY, WHY? YOU CAN'T CELEBRATE TOGETHER. 2ND QUARTER, IT'S 17-3 PACK. RODGERS TO JORDY NELSON. WHO ELSE? THIS IS ALL GAME. I MEAN DOES HE HAVE THE BEST FOOTWORK OF ANY RECEIVER OUT THERE. AND HANDS. HE HAS THE BEST CHEMISTRY WITH HIS QB. CAN ANYBODY COVER THIS GUY ONE-ON-ONE? I DON'T THINK SO. YEA, THEY DID A COUPLE TIMES THIS YEAR. THAT'S WHY THEY LOST. RODGERS HAD 279 YDS. PASSING AND 2 SCORED IN THE FIRST HALF ALONE. MARK SANCHEZ DID GREAT MONDAY NIGHT AGAINST CAROLINA. BUT HERE, ON THE ROAD, AT LAMBEAU FIELD, NAILED BY MIKE NEAL AND THE EAGLES WERE FORCED TO PUNT. 2ND QUARTER, SANCHEZ ..AND IT'S THE INSIDE LINEBACKER CLAY MATTHEWS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE. YEA, THEY’RE MOVING HIM AROUND. BLOODLINE, HERE HE IS. AND THEN SANCHEZ AGAIN. JORDAN MATTHEWS INCOMPLETE. YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT. YOU GOTTA HAVE THAT. SANCHEZ DID THROW FOR 346 AND A COUPLE OF SCORES. WAS PICKED OFF A COUPLE TIMES AS WELL. A LOT OF THAT IN FANTASY SLOPPY TIME AS WE LIKE TO CALL. THIS ONE'S SLOPPY TOO. PICKED OFF BY JULIUS PEPPERS. BIG MAN ROMO. STIFF-ARMS. HERE'S THE MOST IMPRESSIVE PART. WATCH THIS. HE DOESN'T EVEN USE HIS ARMS. THAT'S AWESOME. I DON'T KNOW. HE ABOUT BLEW HIS HIPS OUT. HE DIDN'T GET ALL THE WAY UP THERE. IT'S 39-6, IN CASE YOU'RE CURIOUS. ONTO THE 4TH. RODGERS TO EDDIE LACEY, AND THIS IS LIKE A TACKLE-ELIGIBLE WHEN HE'S GOT THE BALL. SOMEBODY'S GONNA HIT THIS. SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET THIS. RODGERS THREW FOR 341 AND 3 MORE TDS. 46-13. I'LL PUT IT ON THE CHECKMARK. I GOT YOU. I SEE YOU. DON'T BOTHER PICKING IT UP EAGLES BECAUSE CASEY HAYWARD'S GONNA SCORE ANOTHER TD. HIS 2ND OF THE YEAR. THAT’S BACK-TO-BACK FIDDY BURGERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN G.B. HISTORY.
1:46:58;01 - DETROIT LIONS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS
TAKING ON THE TEAM WITH THE BEST RECORD IN THE NFL, THE ARIZONA CARDINALS. BRUCE ARIANS THIS WEEK, "OF COURSE WE CAN WIN THE S.B. WITH OUR BACKUP DREW STANTON. NO DOUBT IN MY MIND." THE FORMER LIONS 2ND ROUND PICK GETTING THE START AGAINST HIS OLD TEAM, AND ON THAT FIRST POSSESSION, JUST THROWING IT UP FOR MICHAEL FLOYD. BIG FELLA GO GET IT! JUST ONE-ON-ONE COVERAGE. HE'S GOT THE SIZE ADVANTAGE. GO UP AND GET IT. HE WAS OPEN 5 SECS. BEFORE HE THREW THE BALL. HE SHOULD'VE GOT THAT OUT OF HIS HANDS MUCH QUICKER BUT GREAT RESULTS ANYWAY. NEXT ARIZONA POSSESSION, STANTON, FLOYD. NOT AS LONG. JUST AS PRODUCTIVE. FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER HE'S HAD A MULTI TD. GAME FOR MICHAEL FLOYD. AND HE'S STARTING AGAINST ONE OF THE BEST DEFENSES IN THE NFL CURRENTLY. ON TO THE 2ND QUARTER. MATTHEW STAFFORD LOOKING FOR MEGATRON BUT HE'S COVERED BY 21 REASONS. 21 REASONS, AND THE PRESIDENT OF 212 REASONS. MEGATRON ACTUALLY DROPPED THIS BALL BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU CANNOT COVER A GUY LIKE THIS ALONE. HE'S LOOKING FOR SAFETY HELP. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY HE'S BAILING OUT THAT CRAZY BECAUSE THIS WAS ONE OF THE SMARTEST DEFENDERS IN THE GAME. MEGATRON JUST CLEARLY DROPPED THAT PASS. ALRIGHT. SO ARE THE CARDS GONNA PILE ON? UP 14-3. STANTON LOOKING FOR JERSON BROWN BUT IT'S PICKED OFF BY CACIUS VAUGHN. AND WE SAW A FEW MISTAKES BY STANTON ON THIS DAY. L.T. YEA, HE JUST STARED DOWN HIS RECEIVER RIGHT THERE. HE TELEGRAPHED IT A LITTLE BIT, AND THE DEF. BACK DID A GREAT JOB OF MAKING A PLAY THERE. BUT THE LIONS COULDN'T PUNCH IT IN THE END ZONE. THEY HAD TO SETTLE FOR A F.G. STILL DOWN 14-6, STAFFORD AGAIN. CALVIN JOHNS. THAT'S ONE IS PICKED OFF BY RASHAD JONSON. IT'S THE WRONG JOHNSON. IT'S RASHAD INSTEAD OF CALVIN. THAT’S A FAIR CATCH HE THREW RIGHT THERE. ONTO THE 4TH, CARDS PUNTING LOOKING TO PICK THEM DEEP. NOW WATCH THIS. JUSTIN BETHEL, PROMO SPECIAL TEAMS GUY TRIES TO SAVE IT. THROWS BACK IN. MOOCH, ISN'T THIS A FREE RETURN BY JEREMY ROSS? YEA. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THIS IS RULE OF 1ST TOUCH. HE CAN PICK THIS UP AND ADVANCE IT WITHOUT ANY RISK AT ALL BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY WHISTLE. BUT THEY RULES IT DIFFERENTLY. I STILL DON'T HAVE THE EXACT RULING ON THIS. EVEN IF HE FUMBLES THAT, HE'S STILL COVERED. CORRECT. BUT BRUCE ARIANS CHALLENGES IT, AND THEY SAID THAT BETHEL HAD POSSESSION LONG ENOUGH TO BLOW IT DEAD THERE IN DIE THE 1 WHICH... NOW MIKE PEIRARA WHO WAS HELPING OUT WITH THE FOX BROADCAST, DIDN'T QUITE GET IT. BUT HERE JOIQUE BELL GETS IT. JOIQUE! THAT WAS LIKE A JOIQUE STICK RULE RIGHT THERE. WITH THE LEAP OVER THE DEFENDER. THAT WAS NICE BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO MAKE A HABIT OF HOPING OVER PEOPLE IN THE NFL. 7 PLAYS LATER IT'S 4TH & 2 FROM MIDFIELD. MATTHEW STAFFORD ...GREAT ANTICIPATION FROM POWERS. GREAT ANTICIPATION BY THE CORNER ON THAT ROUTE. ALRIGHT, SO CAN THE CARDS SALT THIS ONE AWAY? UP 8. STANTON LOOKING FOR JOHN BROWN BUT IT'S INCOMPLETE. HE HAD 2 GOOD DEFENSES HERE. SO ARIANS DECIDED TO PUNT INSTEAD OF TRY A F.G. TO GO UP 2 SCORES. BUT HERE STAFFORD HAD ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE. INCOMPLETE LOOKING FOR THEOR RIDDICK, THE GUY WHO CAUGHT THE GAME WINNER LAST WEEK, AND STAFFORD...BECAUSE THE SNAP WAS NASTY FROM ... SO THE LIONS WOULD BE FORCED TO PUNT. WOULD THE CARDS GIVE T BACK TO HIM ON 3RD & 11? STANTON TO LARRY FITZGERALD. DOES HE GET THAT FIRST DOWN? THE PLAY OF THE GAME RIGHT AT THE STICKS. WE'RE GONNA NEED A MEASUREMENT. YOU NEVER SEE LARRY FITZGERALD GET THAT EXCITED. SO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS TEAM MEANS TO HIM. THEY SHOULD BE EXCITED BECAUSE THE CARDS ARE 9-1 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1948.
1:50:33;01 - NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. TOM BRADY DURING A 5 GAME WINNING STREAK. 18 TDS. ONLY 1 INT. EARLY ON, LET'S SEE HERE. WHAT DO WE DO? RUN JULIAN EDELMAN. WE'RE GONNA RUN THIS AROUND. AND LOOK AT GRONK THE BLOCKER. PICKING UP 25 THAT LED TO A JONAS GRAY TD. SOMETHING YOU WOULD SAY 3 MORE TIMES ON THE EVENING. BLOCKING LIKE THAT, MAN. WHEN YOUR STAR IS PLAYING LIKE THAT, THAT TRICKLES DOWN. ANDREW LUCK HAS NOT PLAYED LIKE A STAR IN 2 STARTS AGAINST THE N.E. PATRIOTS INCLUDING A PLAYOFF LOSS A YEAR AGO WHEN HE WAS PICKED OFF 4 TIMES. HERE TIPPED AND PICKED OFF BY DEVIN MCCORDY BUT IT WAS REALLY DERRELLE REVIS, PRIME, THAT GOT THIS PLAY STARTED. A GREAT GREAT GAME PLAN. DERRELLE REVIS ON REGGIE WAYNE, COVER 2. HELP OVER TOP. THAT'S NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM REVIS BECAUSE HE WOULD'VE LOCKED HIM OUT ANYWAY. BUT A GREAT GAME PLAN. SO HERE COME THE PATRIOTS. BRADY LOOKING FOR GRONK. GOT A FLAG. MIKE ADAMS, I'M SORRY FOR YOU MAN. MAN! AND HERE IS JONAS GRAY. THE FIRST PATRIOT TO RUN FOR 90 YDS. AND A COUPLE OF TDS. IN THE FIRST HALF SINCE COREY DILLON DID IT A DECADE AGO. C.D. BUT NEAR THE END OF THE HALF, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PLAYS WHERE TOM BRADY...HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE TOM BRADY. HE GETS PICKED OFF BY MIKE ADAMS. IT'S THROWING OFF THAT BACK LET, FALLING BACK AND ALL OF THAT. HE JUST DIDN'T STEP INTO IT. YEA. IT WAS HIS 2ND INT. OF THE DAY. BOTH BY MIKE ADAMS, AND YOU DON'T EXPECT THAT OUT OF A FORWARD LEAD MVP, AND ADAMS WAS TRYING OT GET HIS TEAM PUMPED UP. WELL HE DID MOMENTARILY BECAUSE THEN LUCK TURNS IT INTO POINTS. AKEEM NICKS, THE SELF-ACCLAIMED BEST RECEIVER IN THE NFL LOOKED LIKE IT ON THAT CATCH. THEY NEED TO GET HIM MORE INVOLVED. .. OUT OF THE WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM. THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD GRAB MIKE. YEA, RIGHT THERE, GETS BOTH OF HIS FEET DOWN FOR THE TD. OH, DON'T HANG YOUR HEAD TOMMY. YOU GUYS ARE O.K. 14-10 AT THE BREAK. 3RD QUARTER. MARSHALL YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT SHANE VEREEN. DANGEROUS IN OPEN SPACE. AND AS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, THIS IS WHAT THIS KID DOES. RUNS THE BALL OUTSIDE THE TACKLES FABULOUSLY BUT THE WAY HE CATCHES THE BALL OUT OF THE BACKFIELD IS SUCH A GREAT ASSET. REMINDS ME A LOT OF KEVIN FAULK. AND THEN JONAS GRAY, ANOTHER GOOD NAME. I MEAN EVERYBODY RUNNING TO THEIR COMPUTER TO PUT IN A WAIVER CLAIM IN FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR JONAS GRAY. DON'T DO THAT. HERE IT'S A LITTLE PLAY FAKE.IT MIGHT NOT BE HIM NEXT WEEK. THAT'S TIM WRITE SCORING THE TD. SO WE KNOW HOW MUCH BRAD LOVES HIM SOME T.E.'S DOWN THERE. LATER ON, LUCK LOOKING FOR DANATE MONCRIE BUT AHHH. HE HAD HIM! HE HAD HIM. YOU GOTTA GET THAT ONE RIGHT HERE. LUCK DOESN'T USUALLY MISS THOSE MUCH BUT YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT ONE. HAD TO SETTLE FOR A F.G. AND THEY'RE DOWN 8. NEXT PATRIOTS POSSESSION, BRADY TO BRANDON LAFELL. THEY FOUND A COMFORT ZONE TOGETHER. IT'S AMAZING, AMAZING HOW THESE GUYS ARE CATCHING THESE BALLS. THAT WAS A TOUGH CATCH. LAFELL COULDN'T MAKE AN EASY CATCH LAST WEEK. THEN IT'S JONAS GRADY AGAIN. THE PATRIOTS HAD 3 RUSHING TDS. ALL SEASON COMING INTO TONIGHT. THAT'S 3 FOR GRAY RIGHT THERE. THEN HOW ABOUT THE TIPPY TOE CATCH FROM COBY FLEENER. PICKUP OF 22. HE HAD A GREAT NIGHT. YEA, FLEENER MAKES SOME BEAUTIFUL... MAYBE HE COULDN’T BEAT THAT. THEN LUCK SWINGS IT OUT TO ANTHONY COSTANZO. UH OH, TACKLE ELIGIBLE. PRIME, WHAT IS THAT? I HAVE NO IDEA. DON'T ASK ME EITHER. SORRY. WHY DO YOU SAY DON'T ASK YOU? BUT I MEAN WHY YOU SAY DON'T ASK YOU THOUGH? WELL BECAUSE I'VE BEEN KNOWN TO DO THAT. OH. ALRIGHT, JONAS GRAY UP THE MIDDLE HERE IN THE 4TH, GETTING THE ROCK. I MEAN I LOVE STORIES LIKE THIS, RIGHT? IT'S ONE GAME. LET'S LET IT BREATHE. BUT IT'S GOOD. COME ON! RIGHT... THIS MAN WENT OFF TODAY MAN. BILL BELICHICK... LOOK AT THIS RIGHT HERE. THAT’S SOMEBODY'S CHILD GRONK. THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT THERE. I LOVE THAT. ALL OVER SERGIO BROWN TAKING HIM INTO THE CAMERA TRUCK. THE PATS ARE HERE, YEA ALL CAUSE GRONK IS RIGHT. YEA, HOW ABOUT THIS SPIN MOVE. DIDN'T I TELL YA ALL, TELL YA ALL MOMMA WHO YA ALL MESSING WITH. THIS IS ME. I'M THE ... THAT'S THE 51ST TD. CATCH SINCE 2010,. MOST IN THE NFL. LOOK AT GRONK. LOOK AT HIM. ...GRONK, DO YOUR THING. WELL THAT'S A BETTER DANCE, RIGHT? THAT'S HOW HE WAS DANCING ... COULDN'T TELL WITH HIS JERSEY ON THIS TIME THOUGH. I GET YA.
