Week 13 The NFL Show

It will be time for these two teams to settle it. He will fire towards

the end zone. He throws. Looking down field. A one man wrecking crew.

Unbelievable. How did he do that? Caught. Unstoppable.

With only for weeks left in the regular season,

we are inching ever closer to knowing who will be

On tonight's show, we will be talking Raider Nation.

We'll be looking back at highlights of their incredible game

against the Buffalo Bills last Sunday.

1, 2, 3. We're the best. Nothing less.

There'll be highlights from Thursday night's divisional

It's the exciting Raiders against the efficient,

some would say, boring Kansas City Chiefs.

We'll also have opinion on that game from the most handsome,

the most wonderful and the most inciteful pundits I, personally,

How you get there, who should get there and which teams shouldn't be

All this, and also a look back at last week's record

I'm being nice to you, all right? Do whatever we want to do. Don't try to

be nobody else, man. Be the best you can be. Hit anything that moves. We

are the playmakers, man. Let's go. Let's make the play.

Whatever it takes. Do your job today. We do it together. We're an

unstoppable force. This is just a thorough ttwhooping as it gets. I

tried to knock that ball away, but my big ass didn't jump far enough.

OC and Jason with them. We won't hear from them because they are

sulking. Sgl Top of the AFC West, five wins

in a row, they've a superstar Two exuberant wide receivers in

Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. But they haven't been

in the playoffs since 2002, this isn't a position

they are used to. When you are in the same division

as the New England Patriots, you spend most of your time chasing

a Wildcard berth. The Buffalo Bills are doing just

that, and with the quick feet of quarterback Tyrod Taylor

and the elusive weaving of LeSean McCoy, a late run

for the playoffs aren't out Second in goal. Powers through for

the touchdown. The Bills take the lead. Early stages, second quarter.

Fifth rushing touchdown of the season. Michael Crabtree. Two

players later Oakland settled for a field goal. They went over again

before half time to make it a one point game heading into the third

quarter. Oakland is number five and scoring 27.9 points per game. The

Bills hold them to nine in the first half. Watkins, they got him involved

early. Taylor. McCoy expel rating. McCoy. The burst. Smith finally gets

to him. McCoy makes Oakland pay. Gillislee in for Buffalo. Taylor,

looking for the angle. He's in. Touchdown, Buffalo. Third down for

Buffalo. They have 18 # yards on the ground. Give it to Gillilee. He's

in. Touchdown, Buffalo. Second of the day from Mike Gillislee. Back of

the end zone. Touchdown. Crabtree's got it. Raider's go with a jumbo

formation. Murray, straight ahead. Plunges in for the touchdown. 2nd in

10. End zone. Who gets there? Touchdown. Cooper. A clear path

after the catch, as he was hit from behind. Great anticipation on the

throw by Carr as he sees Copper get behind see more, then up over the

top. They are going to review this, obviously. It's a scoring play. Does

he break it before his knee hits the ground? I say, yes, he does. Taylor.

That ball is up in the air. Intercepted. Allen has the pick for

the Raiders. He continues his assault on opposing quarterbacks.

Reaching for the ball, doesn't get the ball, he gets the arm. First in

goal. It's Murray. Touchdown, Raiders. A completely different team

in the second-half. Raiders lead. Taylor feeling the pressure. The

ball gets knocked away. Mack, he is a one man wrecking crew on defense.

He's everywhere. By any means, the Oakland Raiders win again. Six in a

row for Oakland. We have been good about staying the course and staying

in the fight. Proud of our guys. Encouraged to enjoy this one, quick,

and then come in ready to work tomorrow, getting prepared for the

trip to Kansas City. It's an exciting time, man. I can't lie

about it. It's an exciting time for Oakland. For our fans it's really

exciting. Look how many people are in here. It's definitely fun times.

We have come a long way as everyone here knows, who has been with us. We

have come a long way. We are enjoying it. We are very thankful,

but, at the same time, it we still have yet to do anything. We are

playing regular season football right now. Hopefully, we will put

ourselves in a good position. Let us talk about the Raiders. It has been

steady progress. Their fans have had to have patience to get to where

they are. It's not an overnight success? Yes they have. A lot has to

go to the general manager who took a et beating in his early part of his

career. They weren't winning. He kept drafting and stuck stuck to his

plan. It's playing off for You are combining him. , aren't you, picking

people from other teams, free agency, and then the draft to get

the best college players? Yes. You want to build your team around your

drafters, your early one You want to free the holes with high price free

agents. They have superstars in defense and offence? Yes they do,

Mack on defense. Carr at the quarterback position. Good

receivers. Crabtree, Copper. They have a great coach. They are

emulating their coach, Jack. How long has it been to build this team.

When we talk about patience, would you say three years, five years...

Five years. It's continuing to blchl they have a lot of exciting years

ahead. When you look at teams at the moment who are struggling, there

could be somebody at the moment in this league who are horrendous, who

aren't doing well at all. In five years' time, if we were still here,

we might, as in doing this show, not alive! If we were doing this show in

five years' time we might talk about them? Yes, absolutely. That is the

great thing about the National Football League. You can go from the

bottom of the barrel to being the cream of the crop in two or three

years because of drafting and free agency Buffalo, talk signings. To me

about Gillislee and the difference in runningbacks. He comes through.

Sets the tone. For the offense blocking, they have to get bigger,

wider holes to get him through. You bring in your your smaller guy. He

has a big hole to jump through and make cuts down the field. If you

follow baseball it's like a pitcher. Bring in the battering ram, he

pounds. The guy who is really quick. As defense there is nothing more

frustrating than having to sit-in there time after time and getting

pound and a the Jack rabbit comes in and you can't catch him. Frustrating

to play with you. You want the battering ram running back and the

little guy who can weave? Absolutely. For protection you want

the bigger guy behind there. Jink and weave! You were saying that

there is one runningback in this league that you would pay money to

watch who can both be the battering rammed and, to use your new coined

term, jink and wink? Absolutely. Peterson is the guy we are eluding

to. He was the battering ram and was quick. One of the most physical

speciums I've seen on the national football league. Fantastic football

player. OK. He is a Minnesota Viking.

He with were there last week for the NFL Show. Top of the weekend 13

results we will show you. Dallas winning that game. Really

interesting results over the course of week 13. Kansas City Chiefs

beating the Fall cans, every game had something on it. Detroit

winning. It was a statement win. New England seeing off the Rams. Big win

for the Packers. Dolphins run has been brought to an end. The Steelers

beat the Giants. Washington being beaten by the Cardinals. That will

damp their playoff hopes. Seahawks thrashing the Panthers and the Colts

back in contention. We will come on to Cam later. How surprised how the

Giants struggled against the Steelers? Not really. They don't

play well against defenses. They play well in the red zone and force

you into bad decisions. The Giants do that. It took a lot of the wind

out of their sails that defeat. A lot of wind out of your prediction

they might do something? It has. To be quite frank with you, the Giants

offense played miserably all year. If it wasn't for their $200 million

defense. If they don't get it together they will be in danger of

missing the playoffs. Over the course of this show that we have had

plenty of arguments over the Kansas City Chiefs. Osi in particular.

Jason likes them, Osi doesn't. You say, dink, donk run the ball. In

this game, Andy Reed they went for a touchdown in the red zone. They

scored it. A fake punt. It was a different performance, wasn't it?

No. No. Listen... Watch it. They get you up out of your seat as a fan and

you are excited about? They are a good football team. I never took

credit away from them. Offensively they are boring. They were boring on

offense. Same thing, dink, donk, run the ball. If it wasn't for the play

of their defense and special team play they would have lost the game.

It wasn't a boring game. I will give you that. A big defeat for the

Falcons? Yes. Playing that way against a good team gives you the

motivation that you need going into the post-season. I like they could

score in every phase of the game. That is what they have to do with a

good defense. I can't argue on that. You have to win games. Offensively,

I keep on saying, they can't win the games the way they play. They don't

take shots down the field. They took shots this game. They had a couple.

Kelce was excellent. They took shots down the field. It worked for them.

Ifle anything they need to get their running game going a little bit. I

like what they do. Osi's favourite player. Tom Brady. Who with the New

England Patriots win against the LA Rams became what you in America call

it the winniest quarterback. It means nothing in the UK. The

quarterback with the most wins? Yeah. That makes sense. Winniness is

not a word. It's your language! You can make the rules. People claim I

mangle it often enough. 201 wins. Highly difficult. He did it with a

tonne of players over the years. He he deserves it. He is the greatest.

I wonder if he will get respect getting to 201 on this sofa. 201

win, as a coach, an incredible amount of wins for a coach. Great

coach, Bill, I can't say enough good things about him. One thern on this

sofa who gnomes Tom Brady more than most, and that is Osi. He has so

physical with him over the years. In case you are new to the sport. If

you are wondering who one of these people sat next to me is. This is

Osi and his special relationship with Tom Brady.

You liked putting had imon his back? This is the problem. You ask me to

give Tom Brady credit, I'm used to seeing him in this position. He is

always on the floor when I'm around him. I can't say he's the gratest

quarterback. Watch this. Yes! LAUGHTER

Look how happy you were, brilliant, I love that. I appreciate that.

Putting the most winningest quarterback on his back. You had

quick hands. Are used to be good! It wasn't just Brady celebrating this

weekend. I'm so nasty right now, oh, my gosh. That's awesome. Good job,

Ronald. Hey, hey. That was good. Always enjoy the wins, man, always

enjoy the wins. A hell of a job. As we go forward we can look at

situations like this and say we've been here before, it's a hell of a

win, my favourite this year. Hey, baby. I view. -- I love you. The

governor of Georgia is right here, man.

APPLAUSE To Thursday night's football.

As we saw earlier, the Oakland Raiders are on a roll.

Six wins in a row and the playoffs beckoning.

That's what the Kansas City Chiefs have been doing in the AFC West.

20 wins from the last 24, and it hasn't been pretty.

Their offensive shortfalls have been countered by their ability

The Raiders are exciting when they have the ball,

The Chiefs are exciting when they don't.

COMMENTATOR: Smith, pressure, soaring downfield,

35 yard, Chris Conley makes the catch. 3rd 5, Carr pressure,

escaped the sack the first but not the second time. Smith going deep

downfield, open and making the catch for the touchdown. Tyreek Hill. A

hole opens up for Kendrick West. Nil is angled to the other side line and

this time King punched it away down the middle of the field. Hill is off

to the raises and he's going to go all the way. Tyreek Hill, do not see

a flag, touchdown in Kansas City. He floats it to the middle of the

field. They don't have coverage that side against one of the fastest, if

not the fastest guy in the Football League. A huge mistake and it was

over. Tyreek Hill takes it to the house. Throws over the middle,

court, taking the ball to the 4-yard line. It is trying to slog his way

into the end zone. It's a touchdown. Murray gets his touchdown. 14

seconds. And it's picked off in the 32-yard line and this is running

back the 16-yard line. Every snap out of the gun all the pistol, Carr

throwing for the end zone and it's busted up at the very end. Seth

Roberts. The 24-yard line. Look out from behind, the ball comes loose.

It's taken by Carlisle Mac, it's on the ground -- it's taken by Khali

Mack. Carr under pressure, gets away, going deep downfield.

Incomplete, over the head of Amari Cooper. Once again Derek Carr just

cannot connect on this thing. This is going to be a walk-in and I don't

know what happened to Cooper. He looked like he lost his balance or

something on this throw. Just sort of stumbled at the tail end of it.

And Carr gets hit as the throws and that's Justin Houston. Carr into the

end zone and one-handed away by Marcus Peters. Congratulations to

Andy Reid and the Chiefs, that was a monster when. It was a great game,

my hat goes off to the Raiders, they played as well. The first half was

the offense had big chunk players and was pretty good and the second

half I thought the defense took care of business and really closed it out

for us. I feel pretty confident that both of our teams will end up in the

playoffs. There are still three games to be played. How it ends up,

we'll see, but certainly they have a leg up right now. They deserved to

win the two games they've had this year and for now that's all there is

to the story. I feel sick to my stomach, when we put something like

that out there on film and it hurts, I can promise you that. I put too

much time into this to go and do something like that. That win for

Kansas City has dramatically altered the playoff situation in the AFC. It

means the Chiefs are one of the top two seeds alongside the New England

Patriot. They would have a buy for that wild card weekend and the

Raiders have now dropped into the wild card situation. They are one of

the two best of the teams alongside the Broncos and that means those two

teams will play the other two divisional winners on wild card

weekend. The Raiders and the Texans. The Broncos will go to the Ravens

and the Raiders will go to the Houston Texans. In the NFC, Dallas

Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks are clear of everybody else, they are

the top two seeds at the moment. The other two divisional winners

offspring grandfathered Detroit Lions and Pantic Falcon Zampa Tampa

Bay Buccaneers have replaced the Washington Redskins as one of the

two best of the teams so on wild card weekend if things were to stay

as they are the books will go to the Lions and the New York Giants will

visit the Atlantic Falcons. There's a more in-depth look at the playoff

picture with Osi and Jason's predictions as to how things will

pan out on the BBC Sport website. As we said earlier, so many games have

so much on it at the moment. I'm going to pick out a couple otherwise

we'll be here all night. I'll pick out the bottom two, I'll come to the

Cowboys and Giants in a moment but the Ravens and Patriots, if they are

going to go head-to-head with the Steelers for the division they might

need to get something, New England, but they've done it before. They've

done it before and the one thing they have going for them is a great

defense. He's playing lights out. A great defense going up. Exactly and

they will get after the quarter book. He is playing really well.

This is a team that matches up really well with the New England

Patriots. New England could be in trouble in this game. We will keep

an eye on that one. When we were in Minnesota last Thursday night as we

were watching the game together you did keep saying to me Dallas will

lose when it goes to New York, New York will beat Dallas, but now,

because of things that have gone on since New York played Pittsburgh,

you are starting to change your mind? Yes, obviously for me it was

the pressure, the Giants have been so stout. On losing Jason peer Paul,

if he's not able to play this game, it's going to be a huge problem for

the New York Giants. Offensively they've been struggling. They were

not able to put up points, they will be in trouble. I agree. Dallas can

outscore New York. Defensively Jason and Oliver were really good against

the run and with him out it changes the dynamic of the game. Because he

struggled to stop him. Once that finger is rolling he's going

downhill fast, fast. Does that slightly do a disservice to Dallas

and how well they have been playing, if they do win this it's because New

York are struggling? No, because they've won 11 games. They've beaten

everybody you have put in front of them. It's not their fault Jason got

hurt. You can't... They have good players, it doesn't matter if Jason

is there or not, they should be able to field a good football team. They

had to come through the game at Minnesota with a fight. It's the

matchups and you have to win the match up. Finally, I look at some of

the other plays during the week, both good and bad. Here are the

highs and lows, let's start with great defense from the Ravens.

Parker muscled out by Web and Nelson showing how it'd be done. Groceries

in the bucket. Big Ben did something similar, making it look so easy to

Antonio Brown. And a little bit of twinkle toes here. Down the sideline

for the Seahawks for Tyler Lockett. Jink and wink. Jinking and winking.

Special Teams. Entertaining Kansas City Chiefs with the fake Albert

Wilson going in. Direct snap to the personal protector. Superb Cam was

benched, Anderson came in and onto his first Blakey did that. Oh, no.

And then Cam shows why he's number one. One of the best in the league.

We've seen some great this season. This... Wasn't one of them. We'll

blame the weather for that drop. Some are saying this is an honorary

Geordie in Seattle. I like that. But it was all too much for one Buffalo

fan. Where do they find this stuff? We mentioned Cam Newton was benched

for the first play of Carolina's game at Seattle and the reserve

quarterback came in because... He didn't have on a tie. The head coach

Ron Rivera benched him as a punishment for not having a tie.

That's one of the rules of the Panthers. Rules are rules, you had

to abide by the rules of Rivera. Do you want but a tie on him? Is give

him a little something, a little something, right there... Right

there, a little something right here... He's good to go. Excellent,

excellent! That's what high-tech touchscreens in the world of sports

broadcasting were made for! Let's hear Cam's reasons for why he didn't

have a tie. Six trying to get a shirt, I was away from home, for a

week, I didn't pack a shirt. It was a lot of ties I was given but I

can't wear a tie with this. Meaning I have discussed it internally, me

and coach got on the same page. I feel as if I wore a similar outfit

like this before and nothing was done, you know. It is what it is.

Just to highlight the similar outfit that he is one before, we have an

array of Cam outfits to show you. That's the similar one. There are

previous ones he has worn with a tie. The irony being there are

several of those outfits he could have been punished for, to be

honest. This is just the season of the Carolina Panthers. On the

serious stuff, I know we're laughing at his dress sense and everything

although sometimes he looks quite good, but do you agree with the head

coach, taking his quarterback out of the opening play for not having a

tie on? I agree and you know why? I was that last guy on the team so I

know I'm looking at the guy at the start and I'm thinking hey, if I

could be treated like he is at least in the dress code department. Even

if it cost your team? He knows better, that's what you want in a

leader, it's about a team, it's about the game, it's about winning.

It sends a message and in all seriousness this is my problem with

Cam Newton. Until he gets over this immaturity that he keeps on

displaying, he's never going to be the quarterback he could be. This is

the supreme athlete who can do everything on the football field but

mentally there's something missing and until he gets over that he's

going to struggle. Okayed for stop joiners again this Tuesday, 11:15pm,

for NFL This Week, the best of the action from week 14 on BBC Two. From

Osi, Jason and myself, we will smarten ourselves up and have ties

on next week, good night. They have a word for it in English, the

language of the NFL, winningest. Purists may wince, the wincing list

word they can imagine, it's Tom Brady all over, the quarterback who

has overtaken Peter Manning as the winner of the most games -- Peyton

Manning. The quarterback who still seems to be unloved by some. Is Tom

Brady achieve? If you ask me, he's a bad man. Tom Brady, the most

mysterious of them all, only in the NFL.

When I look in your eyes, I think, "Where's the energy?"

You're not exactly a forceful character.
