NFL, but ultimately only 12 teams can make it to the promised land of

the play-offs. In each conference the four divisional winners get a

the on the BBC on February 5th. We have dusted off our resident BBC

:02:21.:02:27.

NFL expert, Mike Carlson. You look well considering you have spent the

:02:27.:02:33.

last 12 months in a cupboard back there! It was a strange season for

:02:34.:02:37.

lots of reasons but it was record- breaking in terms of offence. We

:02:37.:02:44.

have seen some price packages, too. Sir of that big offensive explosion

:02:44.:02:49.

dissipated as the season went on but that three big offence of teams,

:02:49.:02:54.

the Saints, the Green Bay Packers, and the Detroit Lions are through,

:02:54.:03:00.

and a couple of big surprises, too. The 49ers captured the NFC Western

offs in mid-season because it looked like they would be no when

:03:14.:03:18.

the it. Good to see the 49ers and the Broncos back in the picture. We

:03:18.:03:23.

start of the action with the Denver Broncos. Despite just eight wins

:03:23.:03:31.

and a colossus, Denver Broncos claimed the division also vital and

:03:31.:03:35.

secured a tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers. One man has a

attractiveness at playing games. let's go, it is not going to be

:03:55.:03:59.

close. The Pittsburgh Steelers panda way to the Claires every year,

:03:59.:04:04.

but this year two the fees from the Baltimore ravens punctuated their

:04:04.:04:11.

success and cost them they have seen or title. It is the absence of

:04:11.:04:17.

their running back that concerns them. Let's head over to mile-high

possession. Let's see if Tim Tebow can manage this. He fires it. On

:04:42.:04:49.

the completion, he was walloped by Harrison. It is his own defence.

:04:49.:04:53.

James Harrison watching the quarterback. He sees the completion

:04:53.:05:00.

and goes inside and gets to hit low, on Erik Decker. It is a ruling on

:05:00.:05:05.

the field about the completed pass. Just watch it, is the ball moving

:05:06.:05:13.

out as it goes down, and turning? It is very close. The man does not

:05:13.:05:23.
:05:23.:05:25.

take control of the ball... Now, it is that, and 12. Tim Tebow,

:05:25.:05:33.

launching the long ball for Thomas. Thomas with a catch. The play that

:05:33.:05:39.

they have been playing for four weeks. The coverage is good from

:05:39.:05:43.

Demaryius Thomas. What Jersey goes downfield with all the movement.

:05:43.:05:49.

Tim Tebow does not like what he sees. It seems cover vase she looks

sidelines. And that through his perfect. Then there reporting that

:06:02.:06:12.
:06:12.:06:14.

we will not see Erik Decker again in this game, he has a knee injury.

:06:14.:06:19.

Cot by Eddie Wall, was he in? Yes, the Broncos comeback from third,

:06:19.:06:29.
:06:29.:06:30.

and 12. Eddie Royle, on the receiving end. The first touchdown

:06:30.:06:40.
:06:40.:06:46.

in 22 drives. Who's been going on, 7-6. After the yard strike. Tim

:07:40.:07:44.

not the first time, he has got the touchdown. Tim Tebow takes it

:07:44.:07:54.

across! A just looks like he has jumped over the screen. Look at 68

leading Rudolph. �245. It is a full back running with the football. And

:08:01.:08:08.

how about Franklin, number 74, with the tackle, getting in a good block,

:08:08.:08:18.
:08:18.:08:33.

too? 14-6. Second, and seven. Ayers got to him And that left ankle has

with the coverage than the field, Dower. To the end zone, and

:09:33.:09:43.

complete. Her -- to sincere though -- Tim Tebow. The flag is at the

:09:46.:09:54.

line of scrimmage. Matthew Wall this was uncovered. Personal file.

they make the stock here? And it is knocked away by William Gay. What

:11:05.:11:14.

this season he has had. 50, nine yards build cause, and then took

:11:14.:11:24.
:11:24.:11:24.

over the job from Jason Ely. So 19 points in less than six minutes.

:11:24.:11:28.

Denver Broncos added another three points to cap a brilliant second

:11:28.:11:33.

quarter, making the score 20-six as the teams headed into the locker

:11:33.:11:37.

room at half-time. We picked the game up and the second half with

:11:37.:11:47.
:11:47.:12:03.

the shell-shocked Pittsburgh incomplete, water it! -- what a hit.

:12:03.:12:13.
:12:13.:12:16.

And first done, to Sanders. If you can't move as a quarterback, Rush

:12:16.:12:26.
:12:26.:12:39.

it's right up the middle. -- rush the 20, and done, but the ball is

:12:39.:12:44.

out. And it is rolled a pass down on the field. This one is going to

:12:44.:12:53.

be looked at. I am going to guess that Redman was tackled, inches

:12:53.:12:58.

short of the goal line. It looks like it is going to be just short.

:12:58.:13:02.

But there is no doubt that, to control the football, his knee is

:13:02.:13:12.
:13:12.:13:34.

right site for the touchdown. Wallace, in motion, he hands it to

:13:34.:13:44.
:13:44.:13:47.

him, the Old College Steam Suite -- sweep. After an exchange of field

:13:47.:13:51.

goals and the 4th quarter, we joined Pittsburgh Steelers back in

:13:51.:14:01.
:14:01.:14:07.

Denver Broncos territory, and drooling. --trailing. Tinted were

:14:07.:14:17.
:14:17.:14:38.

this defensive line which is the best way to play that pits Broads

:14:38.:14:41.

Tours offence. Going for the touchdown with Wallace, and it is

:14:41.:14:48.

almost intercepted. Bailey had a bead on it but he could not bring

:14:48.:14:54.

it down. Mike Wallace trying to wander through the defence. But

:14:54.:14:59.

they are all but chaired Bailey. Good position, undercuts the

:14:59.:15:07.

football, goes for the interception. 15 Korea puts, more than any E D,

:15:07.:15:17.
:15:17.:15:39.

out. Just one play after Bailey had a great changes. That ensured

:15:39.:15:44.

Roethlisberger got out of the pocket and how about this?

:15:44.:15:49.

A great comeback completed by the con version and with second

:15:49.:15:59.
:15:59.:16:04.

remaining, they were back in That's the hard part.

:16:04.:16:13.

Roethlisberger looks. Redman. So big Ben who got his name big Ben

:16:13.:16:20.

because of a hail Mary pass he completed at Miami University to

:16:20.:16:30.
:16:30.:16:33.

ovetime would give the other team a chance to hitback. A touchdown and

:16:33.:16:39.

it is all over. Eddie Royal is the returner.

:16:39.:16:45.

Will he get a chance? No, he won't. So the Broncos will take over at

:16:45.:16:52.

the 20. The first snap of the overtime. The

:16:52.:16:57.

Broncos have been in three overtime games this year and they won them

:16:57.:17:07.
:17:07.:17:28.

six in the first possession to close it out. They do it in the

:17:29.:17:33.

very first play. An amazing finish to that game.

:17:33.:17:39.

That's the Tebow celebration! I notice Tebow time was trending on

:17:39.:17:45.

Twitter. This guy is amazing. He generated a a lot of headlines on

:17:45.:17:49.

and off the pitch. Is he the real deal? He is playing in a system

:17:49.:17:53.

where they are happy top run the ball a lot and let him throw a

:17:53.:17:55.

ball a lot and let him throw a little and play good defence.

:17:55.:18:01.

He has got a good coach in John Fox who can get the best out of him. He

:18:01.:18:09.

is not a polished quarterback, the Steel Steelers made it look easy.

:18:09.:18:14.

Is that not the easy way to deal with a quarterback? They are

:18:14.:18:19.

willing to let let him run which most teams wouldn't be willing to

:18:19.:18:24.

with their quarterback. Look at him, with their quarterback. Look at him,

:18:24.:18:29.

when he does run. The steelers are tired and look old

:18:29.:18:36.

and look at Franklin. They have two linemen at that stage where

:18:36.:18:38.

everybody should be up there stopping.

:18:38.:18:42.

Why is Tebow a controversial figure? Well, it is the

:18:42.:18:48.

Christianity. His father was a missionary and he was born in the

:18:48.:18:49.

missionary and he was born in the Philippines.

:18:49.:18:53.

His mother made a television commercial which aired during the

:18:53.:18:57.

Super Bowl about how she was ill when she was pregnant and they told

:18:57.:19:02.

her to abort him and she wouldn't abort him... It is the anti-

:19:03.:19:07.

abortion thing? Well, that's what got the attention. He is a

:19:07.:19:10.

committed Christian and he doesn't wear it on his shoulders. He is not

:19:10.:19:14.

overbearing about it. But when you combine that with his leadership

:19:14.:19:17.

abilities, it makes a story. Well, he is becoming a huge star in

:19:17.:19:22.

his own right now, isn't he? I am no NFL tactician, I was looking at

:19:22.:19:25.

this game last night and I was thinking where is the coverage?

:19:25.:19:31.

Through the whole game, they had runs. Look at at Mundy coming up at

:19:31.:19:36.

runs. Look at at Mundy coming up at the top of your screen. The

:19:36.:19:42.

cornerbacks have to play deep. Mundy is not there to make the

:19:42.:19:48.

throw difficult and Thomas does a great job.

:19:48.:19:52.

You see right there, there is the stiff arm and it is all over. You

:19:53.:19:57.

know, it was going against the trend. The Steelers were selling

:19:57.:20:01.

out to stop the run game and Tebow beat them passing.

:20:01.:20:07.

A disappointing finish to a bruising season. Where do the

:20:07.:20:14.

Steelers go from here? A lot of guys was missing. One player has a

:20:14.:20:19.

sickle cell problem. He wasn't playing. They had a lot of injuries.

:20:19.:20:23.

Not to take anything away from Denver, but this played into

:20:23.:20:26.

Denver's hands and made the game very difficult for Pittsburgh to

:20:26.:20:29.

win. It was a credit to them that they fought back and they were in a

:20:29.:20:31.

position to win it at the end of the game.

:20:32.:20:38.

Yes, the Steelers will be back. sooner or later.

:20:38.:20:43.

Our second game is a potential shootout. We saw two quarter backs

:20:43.:20:48.

who both through from over 5,000 yards going head-to-head in the

:20:48.:20:58.
:20:58.:21:06.

this season. His cast of receivers is impressive with Jimmy Graham and

:21:06.:21:16.
:21:16.:21:20.

Darren Sproles emerging. The Lions reached the play-offs for the first

:21:20.:21:28.

time since 1999. Stafford had a huge role in the centre.

:21:28.:21:38.
:21:38.:21:42.

The Saints will be aware that when Megatrone gets into the game, he is

:21:42.:21:52.
:21:52.:22:27.

after the 49 line. Calvin Johnson 326lbs. Number one pick in 07.

:22:27.:22:35.

They run Titus Young, the rooky, who picks up nine yards and he is

:22:35.:22:45.
:22:45.:22:57.

taken down by Jonathan Vilma. That figure on the right side and that

:22:57.:23:07.
:23:07.:23:07.

is Titus Young who gets position on on Jabari Greer. Stafford throws

:23:07.:23:15.

and that will be caught and they go to Titus Young again.

:23:15.:23:22.

They drafted him in the second round.

:23:22.:23:32.
:23:32.:23:34.

There is a toss to Johnson. Johnson kicks the ball to the ten yard line.

:23:34.:23:42.

First in goal, the nose of the ball right on the ten. Stafford throws

:23:42.:23:52.
:23:52.:23:52.

over the middle and it is caught by Will Heler. What an impressive

:23:52.:23:59.

drive by Matthew Stafford. extra point gave the Lions a 7-0

:23:59.:24:04.

lead. They were unable to take advantage of this and and punted

:24:04.:24:14.
:24:14.:24:30.

back to the Saints. one over the middle. That is really

:24:31.:24:40.
:24:41.:24:41.

his comfort zone right there. Saints have been sensational this

:24:41.:24:51.
:24:51.:25:08.

year and that is caught and that's the pressure. It is his second year

:25:08.:25:18.
:25:18.:25:34.

Here Thomas does the running back. In the Lions territory. To the 35

:25:34.:25:38.

yard line. That's what they didn't have at the end of last season.

:25:38.:25:42.

They went into the play-offs and they had no running game at all.

:25:42.:25:52.
:25:52.:25:58.

Here is 31 yards for Thomas. And Sproles and Sproles, before he gets

:25:58.:26:08.
:26:08.:26:34.

back and picks up time. Brees has Smith is in. Sproles picking up six

:26:34.:26:44.
:26:44.:26:48.

to the five yard line. Henderson, and hackled to the

:26:48.:26:58.
:26:58.:27:09.

corner by Wright. -- tackled to the stopped initially behind the line

:27:09.:27:19.
:27:19.:27:19.

and just kept on. Sproles takes it into the end zone to cap an 89 yard

:27:19.:27:29.
:27:29.:27:40.

takes the ball into sap saints territory. -- Saints territory.

:27:40.:27:50.
:27:50.:27:50.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:27:50.:28:34.

will be caught by Johnson for the touch Down. Calvin Johnson gives

:28:34.:28:44.
:28:44.:28:51.

and make those plays, there is almost no way to defend that play.

:28:51.:29:01.

The Saints squandered possession with this fumble. The Saints did

:29:01.:29:11.
:29:11.:29:45.

add this goal on their next yard line. Brees. Meachem on the

:29:45.:29:55.
:29:55.:29:57.

outside. And through the middle, he takes it

:29:57.:30:07.
:30:07.:30:25.

out to the 40 yard line into Devery Henderson, to give New

:30:25.:30:32.

Orleans Saints the lead. -- touchdown. It takes them one minute

:30:32.:30:38.

and 51 seconds to get out in front. There's a point gave a yawning

:30:38.:30:44.

sense a three-point lead and then you'll insane started another drive

:30:44.:30:50.

that was kept alive thanks to this extraordinary move by Drew Brees.

:30:50.:30:58.

We rejoin the action with the Saints at the 39 wide line. Thomas,

:30:58.:31:04.

Brechin tackles, and he gets the ball to the midfield strike. --

:31:26.:31:36.
:31:36.:31:38.

or the evening -- Lance Moore. It is caught inside the five-yard line

:31:38.:31:48.
:31:48.:31:53.

by Marquess Coulson. -- market is Corston -- Marques Colston. Caught

:32:23.:32:30.

Calvin Johnson is escorted out of bounds at the party five-yard line.

:32:30.:32:40.
:32:40.:32:45.

Bus - the 35 outline -- the 35 yard line. Unable to come up with his

:32:45.:32:52.

young, second ban. It is thrown into traffic, and caught by Calvin

:32:52.:32:56.

Johnson, the almost unstoppable Calvin Johnson at the fortified

:32:56.:33:06.
:33:06.:33:25.

and Johnson makes the catch. Had it on the outside, had position on the

:33:25.:33:35.
:33:35.:33:35.

defenders, and it will be first than an goal. -- first down and

:33:35.:33:44.

goal. Titus Young making the catch, and dangerous pass, just short of

:33:44.:33:51.

the goal line. And now, Stafford is going to try to do it himself. And

:33:51.:34:01.
:34:01.:34:04.

that is going to the third done, and call. -- third down and goal.

:34:04.:34:10.

Rolling out his staff work, trying to take it into the endzone -- is

:35:50.:35:55.

my yard line, it is Jabari Greer with the turnover. -- the 39 yard

:35:55.:36:05.
:36:05.:36:15.

Saints 17 points ahead. There was celebration in your lanes, and we

:36:15.:36:19.

rejoin the action with Detroit Lions looking to launch their own

tight coverage. And that will be third done -- down. Johnson,

:38:36.:38:43.

touchdown, and that silences as crowd of almost 70,000, as Johnson

makes it will catch of the night, 212 yards, his second touchdown.

Detroit Lions attempted to retain possession but New Orleans Saints

made the mistake in handling the ball and snuffed out all hopes of a

drive. This one pseudopod the 5-28 victory for the New Orleans Saints,

:39:24.:39:29.

bear down, one drive at a time and we scored on every drive during the

:39:29.:39:33.

second half, and that is what you hope for. It has been an amazing

:39:33.:39:37.

season for Drew Brees. It was a game of two halves, that one,

:39:37.:39:44.

wasn't it? I think so, he would break the most records for passing

:39:44.:39:49.

in the season for nothing, but Detroit were certainly in it, at

:39:49.:39:56.

14-7, they had a great chance to make it 21-7. This is a fumble.

:39:56.:40:05.

There is no question, because it never left his hand. But it had

:40:05.:40:10.

already been ruled as an incomplete pass. The NFL are special rules for

:40:10.:40:14.

these situations because we have had a couple of controversial plays

:40:14.:40:18.

in the past. It is one of these cases where they have all

:40:18.:40:22.

legislated the game. They should try to keep the whistle in the mire,

:40:23.:40:28.

and not blow it. There is still room for human error, even allowing

:40:28.:40:35.

for the video referees. It would have made it 21-7, which is a

:40:35.:40:40.

different ball game, Detroit Lions showed a lot of defensive

:40:40.:40:47.

indiscipline and drop a couple of sitters. This was the worst one.

:40:47.:40:55.

Drew Brees under throws it, it is a bad role, under pressure. And Barry

AJ Green. Automatic first down. There is the match-up of the day.

He is entitled to that piece of turf, that AJ Green wanted. Dalton,

Crocker didn't. They are down in six. Johnson for a

yards and 29 receiving. Gates, plenty of time and going

deep for Johnson, wide open. Got it. Touchdown!

What a great job! Look how clean that is and if you are going to do

:48:22.:48:30.

suggest the interceptions were the difference between the two 134.

Crocker held on to an interception then it would have been a different

story, but dropped interceptions were happening all weekend. Dalton

:49:50.:49:59.

has had a a great rooky season. Cincinnati Bengals could never get

:49:59.:50:09.

what they wanted. TJ Yates was able to concentrate on his passing

:50:09.:50:15.

because they had the run game going and Foster had a tremendous day

:50:15.:50:21.

against the Bengals defence. To be fair to Dalton, it was a lack

:50:21.:50:27.

of options? It took a little while to get going, but when they did,

:50:27.:50:34.

their offensive line seemed to take defence. Foster, this was the

:50:34.:50:38.

fourth quarter, by then it looked like Cincinnati Bengals had run out

:50:38.:50:44.

of gas. The Bengals beat the season that they could beat, but couldn't

:50:44.:50:48.

beat the the teams that were a lot better than them.

:50:48.:50:55.

Despite the talk of the rookies, when they did get a pass going.

:50:55.:50:58.

They let Johnson sit for three games and rest his injuries. He

:50:58.:51:03.

hardly played this season and then TJ Yates got a chance to hit him

:51:03.:51:08.

wide open. If you wonder why he is so open, if you look at the replay,

:51:08.:51:12.

it is a double move. Johnson is going to go on the left-hand side

:51:12.:51:15.

of your screen and break to the sidelines and as the ball is

:51:15.:51:19.

released, he has broken deep. The cornerback has gone to the sideline,

:51:19.:51:23.

but Yates has thrown the ball behind knowing that's what Johnson

:51:23.:51:30.

is going to do. They have executed this perfectly.

:51:30.:51:37.

Houston had a great turn around. JJ Watt, all rookies this season. New

:51:37.:51:43.

defence players did a great job. The play-offs can be hitting a hot

:51:43.:51:49.

streak at the right time and the New York Giants and the Atlanta

Falcons could cause damage as both of them seem to be doing exactly

:52:18.:52:24.

The Atlanta Falcons have a pair of receivers that will strike fear

:52:24.:52:34.
:52:34.:52:40.

howling sea of blue. In the first quarter the defences were on top.

:52:40.:52:46.

Both teams going three and out in their first two possessions.

:52:46.:52:53.

At the start of the second quarter, the falcons coach declined to kick,

:52:53.:52:58.

instead going for the first down on fourth and one, shutting out Matt

:52:58.:53:03.

Ryan, much to the delight of the coach. We join the action with the

:53:03.:53:13.

He is outside of the tackle box, but does the ball get beyond the

line of scrimmage? That's the real key..

. There was no receiver in the area. That foul happened in the end zone,

:53:38.:53:48.
:53:48.:53:49.

the result of the play, safety. Manning on third down. He was going

:53:49.:53:58.

to pick it up and take it out across the 35.

:53:58.:54:03.

Atlanta's defensive front made the biggest impact. Jacobs is down

:54:03.:54:13.
:54:13.:54:21.

inside the 20 and still going near the 15. Atlanta, the Giants 4-13

:54:21.:54:31.
:54:31.:54:41.

Manning - what a catch. Touchdown! Run the ball. Run the ball and they

:54:41.:54:47.

come back and play action on first down. What it does, to the line

:54:47.:54:51.

backers and the ball that, I don't think it got tipped, it was behind,

:54:51.:54:56.

but they are they are able to make the play. That's great drive by the

:54:56.:55:02.

Giants. What they needed. 69 yards on that drive.

:55:02.:55:06.

The game continued to work for the Giants as they dominated the third

:55:07.:55:15.

quarter, but were unable to convert time of possession into a touchdown.

:55:15.:55:21.

They settled for this goal, but it was still a one possession game.

:55:21.:55:27.

The Falcons failed to find a first down, struggling to gain short

:55:37.:56:00.

yardage and giving the ball back to runs in the middle on the slot, but

:56:00.:56:04.

they don't get the corner running with Nicks. There is a bust in

:56:04.:56:09.

coverage there and it looks like the corner should have been in man

:56:09.:56:13.

coverage on Nicks and he is wide open in the field and he is able to

:56:13.:56:17.

then get the touchdown. The giants running game which had

:56:17.:56:22.

been the lowest ranked in the league, continued to overwhelm the

:56:22.:56:26.

Falcons defence in the first quarter.

:56:26.:56:33.

And the run game set-up this touchdown pass 27 yards, Manning to

:56:33.:56:40.

Manningham. For the touchdown, Manningham.

:56:40.:56:50.
:56:50.:56:57.

there would be no Fal comes comeback, the -- Falcon comeback.

It is special. A play-off win in the new stadium. That's a big win

second touchdowns. It was a different kind of game that one,

:57:19.:57:25.

but I guess at this stage of the season, it is results that count.

The Giants dominated when when they got going. His receiver stepped up

and Manning as the knack of just avoiding the rush, taking a little

:58:20.:58:25.

They go to play the Packers. Is that the stand out side from the

:58:25.:58:29.

division? It is really tough at this point. It is one of the two.

:58:29.:58:37.

The two games that will jump out are the Patriots and the brnk kos.
