1:25:08 > 1:25:09Touchdown!

1:25:09 > 1:25:11Somersault for the touchdown.

1:25:11 > 1:25:13Unbelievable!

1:25:13 > 1:25:14Yes! Yes!

1:25:14 > 1:25:16Pass is intercepted at the goal line.

1:25:27 > 1:25:31and there are just 18 teams left hunting a play-off place

1:25:31 > 1:25:32in the race to Super Bowl 50.

1:25:34 > 1:25:37Entering week 16, the play-off picture looks like this -

1:25:37 > 1:25:40New England are champions of the AFC East

1:25:40 > 1:25:41and are play-off bound.

1:25:41 > 1:25:45Cincinnati lead the North and have at least a wild-card berth,

1:25:45 > 1:25:47whilst Denver and Houston lead the other two divisions

1:25:47 > 1:25:50and must win this week to progress.

1:25:50 > 1:25:54Pittsburgh and Kansas City occupy the wild-card spot.

1:25:54 > 1:25:56The New York Jets await any slip-ups,

1:25:56 > 1:25:59whilst Indianapolis and Jacksonville wait in hope

1:25:59 > 1:26:01for a chance to win the AFC South.

1:26:03 > 1:26:06In the NFC, Carolina and Arizona are division champions,

1:26:06 > 1:26:09play-off places guaranteed.

1:26:09 > 1:26:11Green Bay and Minnesota are embroiled

1:26:11 > 1:26:14in a tight battle for the North division.

1:26:14 > 1:26:15Washington lead the East

1:26:15 > 1:26:18and could win it with a victory in Philadelphia.

1:26:18 > 1:26:20Seattle are one of the wild-cards,

1:26:20 > 1:26:23Atlanta watching for a mistake to grab the other.

1:26:26 > 1:26:28With just two games remaining in the regular season,

1:26:28 > 1:26:30the action promises to be decisive,

1:26:30 > 1:26:33and overseeing it all is two-time Super Bowl winner

1:26:33 > 1:26:35with the New York Giants Osi Umenyiora

1:26:35 > 1:26:38and former quarterback with Dallas, Houston and the Giants, Jason Bell.

1:26:38 > 1:26:40So, let's get straight to the action,

1:26:40 > 1:26:43starting with the NFL's only unbeaten team, Carolina,

1:26:43 > 1:26:46now just two wins away from becoming only the third team

1:26:46 > 1:26:48to go through the regular season undefeated.

1:26:48 > 1:26:52On Sunday, they travelled to division rivals Atlanta.

1:26:53 > 1:26:57The Carolina Panthers thrashed the Atlanta Falcons 38-0

1:26:57 > 1:27:00just two weeks ago and needed one more victory

1:27:00 > 1:27:03to secure the NFC's number one seeding

1:27:03 > 1:27:05and a bye in the first round of the play-offs.

1:27:05 > 1:27:09Atlanta were in need of some form of revenge just to keep alive

1:27:09 > 1:27:11their slim hopes of a wild-card place.

1:27:16 > 1:27:19Play clock at one, snap it.

1:27:19 > 1:27:21Newton going to run it.

1:27:21 > 1:27:22An endzone touchdown!

1:27:27 > 1:27:30This number one is a really good football player.

1:27:30 > 1:27:32The MVP, I don't want him with the ball in his hands

1:27:32 > 1:27:34on the first drive, cos he's going to do that to you.

1:27:34 > 1:27:38The dual threat showing up on the first drive.

1:27:40 > 1:27:42Ryan going to throw.

1:27:42 > 1:27:44He can run it if he tries.

1:27:44 > 1:27:48Oh, Matt Ryan with the moves!

1:27:48 > 1:27:50- Who knew he had it in him, John? - JOHN LAUGHS

1:27:50 > 1:27:53Matt Ryan says, "Cam Newton, you're not the only one

1:27:53 > 1:27:55"that can run around and make plays."

1:27:55 > 1:27:58Thomas Davis is as good as there is in the league.

1:27:58 > 1:28:01Matt Ryan puts a little okey-doke on him and runs right by.

1:28:05 > 1:28:08Hits to Freeman. He's got some room.

1:28:08 > 1:28:09Touchdown!

1:28:14 > 1:28:17And now watch Jake Matthews, out in front along with DiMarco.

1:28:17 > 1:28:19The key block on Tillman,

1:28:19 > 1:28:23Devonta Freeman walks in the endzone for the Atlanta Falcons.

1:28:23 > 1:28:25Here at 3rd down and 8...

1:28:26 > 1:28:31Newton...got a throw, looking around, maybe running...

1:28:33 > 1:28:35Can't wrap him up, he's still going! Fighting forward.

1:28:35 > 1:28:37He's close to a first down.

1:28:37 > 1:28:39WHISTLE BLOWS

1:28:39 > 1:28:42He's like a Mack truck. And now the spot.

1:28:42 > 1:28:45The old saying, a man amongst boys, unbelievable.

1:28:45 > 1:28:48They are tattooing Cam Newtown but he carries them

1:28:48 > 1:28:50close to that first down.

1:28:50 > 1:28:52Still followed forward. Unbelievable.

1:28:52 > 1:28:54That's one of the plays of the year.

1:28:54 > 1:28:58You talk about effort and that's what's made this team special.

1:28:58 > 1:28:59They got great character.

1:28:59 > 1:29:02What happened last week, their coach was not proud of.

1:29:02 > 1:29:05He doesn't want all the chippiness. He's a guy who respects the game.

1:29:05 > 1:29:08A little blood starting to show but these guys play hard,

1:29:08 > 1:29:10they play together.

1:29:10 > 1:29:16- Does the trick.- It's just a magnificent effort by Cam Newton.

1:29:16 > 1:29:19And Ryan looking on, hoping his defense can make the play.

1:29:19 > 1:29:222nd and 1 after the nine-yard run from Artis-Payne.

1:29:25 > 1:29:26Two fakes.

1:29:28 > 1:29:31Now late pressure, and Newton is buried.

1:29:31 > 1:29:35He turned the wrong way and Babineaux and Biermann got him down.

1:29:35 > 1:29:38But we just saw him carrying all the Falcons for a first down.

1:29:38 > 1:29:41He thinks he can get out of anything, and Babineaux says

1:29:41 > 1:29:43not so fast, and brings down Camden.

1:29:45 > 1:29:49They have a chance with Shayne Graham, who has been perfect

1:29:49 > 1:29:50since signing with Atlanta.

1:29:50 > 1:29:53There's a 43-yard field goal that gave the Falcons the lead

1:29:53 > 1:29:56and this one is no-go!

1:29:59 > 1:30:03Following Graham's miss, the Panthers would go on an eight-play drive,

1:30:03 > 1:30:08culminating in a 33-yard Graham Gano field goal to make it 10-7.

1:30:12 > 1:30:163rd in 13 for Atlanta. Two and a half to go in this third quarter.

1:30:16 > 1:30:19They've been great today and all year in this area.

1:30:21 > 1:30:23Got to get to the 43.

1:30:23 > 1:30:26Pocket collapsing, Ryan rolling, looking,

1:30:26 > 1:30:29just going to throw it deep for Jones, double coverage.

1:30:29 > 1:30:33Oh, what a catch! Touchdown!

1:30:42 > 1:30:4570 yards to Jones. Ridiculous.

1:30:45 > 1:30:49Just throw it up and give him a chance.

1:30:49 > 1:30:52Julio Jones running downfield,

1:30:52 > 1:30:56going against one of the great players in football, Luke Kuechly.

1:30:56 > 1:31:01Matt Ryan says go deep, this is like on the streets in Philly,

1:31:01 > 1:31:07and Julio Jones, up and over, posterises Luke Kuechly.

1:31:07 > 1:31:11What a play by a great, great player, Julio Jones.

1:31:11 > 1:31:14- That was unbelievable. - That is special.

1:31:16 > 1:31:17Wow.

1:31:23 > 1:31:26Ryan on the bench snap! He didn't realise it was coming.

1:31:26 > 1:31:27It's loose.

1:31:27 > 1:31:30Norman picks it up for the Panthers.

1:31:30 > 1:31:34The defense makes a huge play.

1:31:34 > 1:31:36Number one in the league in turnovers is Carolina

1:31:36 > 1:31:38and they get one at a big time.

1:31:38 > 1:31:41Did he just miss it or was he not ready for that? I couldn't tell.

1:31:41 > 1:31:44It looked like he was ready, it looks like it was a decent snap,

1:31:44 > 1:31:46just went right by him.

1:31:46 > 1:31:49The Panthers would go three and out on the ensuing possession

1:31:49 > 1:31:53but they were still able to convert a 47-yard Gano field goal

1:31:53 > 1:31:54to make it a one-point game.

1:31:58 > 1:32:03In 3rd and 9, Atlanta, 8 of 12 on 3rd down today. They've been great.

1:32:03 > 1:32:06Empty set blitz again, Ryan sees it, unloads,

1:32:06 > 1:32:10Roddy White has the catch and he's got a first down.

1:32:10 > 1:32:13Matt Ryan has been terrific, on the money against the blitz

1:32:13 > 1:32:15and it's 16 yards to white.

1:32:15 > 1:32:1837-yard field goal, Bosher the hold.

1:32:20 > 1:32:23This time Graham is money,

1:32:23 > 1:32:25and so the Panthers will need a touchdown

1:32:25 > 1:32:27with just over two minutes to go from Atlanta

1:32:27 > 1:32:29if they want to remain unbeaten.

1:32:29 > 1:32:31Cam Newton rallying the troops.

1:32:31 > 1:32:33Can he pull it off?

1:32:33 > 1:32:34Down four here.

1:32:36 > 1:32:39Fakes the run over the middle, incomplete!

1:32:39 > 1:32:43I think it was Durant who jumped up and got it, the middle linebacker,

1:32:43 > 1:32:45and now 4th down.

1:32:45 > 1:32:47Dan Quinn told us,

1:32:47 > 1:32:50"We are absolutely jacked to play this game."

1:32:50 > 1:32:53And his Falcons finish the deal.

1:32:53 > 1:32:56Unbeaten on the line out of 4th down.

1:33:00 > 1:33:04Newton over the middle...incomplete!

1:33:04 > 1:33:05No flags.

1:33:09 > 1:33:12This is unbelievable, John, the way it played out,

1:33:12 > 1:33:16Carolina may have gotten the ball back for, like, nine, ten seconds.

1:33:16 > 1:33:18They're getting it with a minute 35.

1:33:18 > 1:33:21I mean, here we are right in the postscript of this thing

1:33:21 > 1:33:26and now they're going to try a really long field goal.

1:33:26 > 1:33:28To get back there to return it.

1:33:28 > 1:33:3154 yards for Shayne Graham.

1:33:31 > 1:33:35Wow, this is gutsy. Graham, long field goal, it would be a career...

1:33:35 > 1:33:38And long! And he's got it!

1:33:38 > 1:33:42Well, Carolina will still get the ball back with a chance to tie.

1:33:42 > 1:33:45With a decent amount of time left, no time out.

1:33:46 > 1:33:48Get it off relatively quickly. Newton in trouble!

1:33:48 > 1:33:51Hit, ball's loose, recovered.

1:33:51 > 1:33:53Atlanta...game over.

1:33:53 > 1:33:56Beasley stripped Clayborn of the recovery.

1:33:56 > 1:33:59There's Beasley working against Rivers.

1:33:59 > 1:34:02Pure speed and power, puts his hand on the ball.

1:34:02 > 1:34:06That's what they thought they were drafting when they took Vic Beasley,

1:34:06 > 1:34:07number 8, from Clemson.

1:34:07 > 1:34:11What an upset, what a win for Dan Quinn and these Atlanta Falcons.

1:34:11 > 1:34:15First time Carolina has lost since last November

1:34:15 > 1:34:19and so the Panthers' undefeated season will come to a halt.

1:34:23 > 1:34:24- We got our- BLEEP- kicked today

1:34:24 > 1:34:27and to a lot of degree we deserved it, especially

1:34:27 > 1:34:30the type of way we played. Offensively, defensively,

1:34:30 > 1:34:31in special teams, you know,

1:34:31 > 1:34:35and I'm talking with the mirror in front of my face,

1:34:35 > 1:34:38you know, some plays that we left out there, we knew it,

1:34:38 > 1:34:40but, yeah,

1:34:40 > 1:34:44we know what we're capable of. We're 14 and 1 right now.

1:34:44 > 1:34:46We put ourselves in this situation

1:34:46 > 1:34:49that we can use this as fuel to the fire.

1:34:51 > 1:34:55Carolina Panthers are no longer undefeated,

1:34:55 > 1:34:58falling to the Atlanta Falcons, also known as...

1:34:58 > 1:35:00the Dirty Birds!

1:35:00 > 1:35:02And we're going to show you a couple of plays.

1:35:02 > 1:35:04Check out my man, Matt Ryan, here.

1:35:04 > 1:35:07Now, this is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

1:35:07 > 1:35:08Look at this pass.

1:35:08 > 1:35:11Play action fake, and this is a very difficult throw to make,

1:35:11 > 1:35:13all the way to the other, opposite side of the field,

1:35:13 > 1:35:15a great football play.

1:35:15 > 1:35:18And right here you see him also looking down the middle

1:35:18 > 1:35:22of the field, finding Julio Jones, the man-child who makes people miss

1:35:22 > 1:35:25and gets all the way down for a 30-yard gain.

1:35:25 > 1:35:29And right here we find out why they call him Matty Ice,

1:35:29 > 1:35:31because he has ice water running through his veins.

1:35:31 > 1:35:35In a situation like this, most quarterbacks, instead of looking

1:35:35 > 1:35:38downfield, they'll be scrambling, trying to get down, but not him.

1:35:38 > 1:35:41He finds Julio Jones again, all the way down the field,

1:35:41 > 1:35:43and look at Julio Jones

1:35:43 > 1:35:45with the Jessica Ennis-Hill finish at the end.

1:35:45 > 1:35:47What a great football player that guy is.

1:35:47 > 1:35:50Locked and loaded, Matt Ryan,

1:35:50 > 1:35:53but guess what? It's not all about the offense.

1:35:53 > 1:35:56The defense came through too, and right here we're going to see

1:35:56 > 1:35:59some of the Atlanta Falcons players make some great plays.

1:35:59 > 1:36:03Right here, Cam Newton is going to be standing back here,

1:36:03 > 1:36:04I guess for ever, thinking

1:36:04 > 1:36:08he's practising whatever new dance move he's going to come up with,

1:36:08 > 1:36:11but no, the Atlanta Falcons said, "No! We're going to get you!"

1:36:11 > 1:36:12And they did get him.

1:36:12 > 1:36:15A great play by Kroy Biermann and Jonathan Babineaux

1:36:15 > 1:36:20again to the quarterback and now, to end the game,

1:36:20 > 1:36:22got to sack the quarterback.

1:36:22 > 1:36:24This is the last play of the game

1:36:24 > 1:36:28and watch my man out here on the end coming all the way off the field,

1:36:28 > 1:36:30knocking the ball out of the quarterback's hands.

1:36:30 > 1:36:31That is a sack, forced fumble

1:36:31 > 1:36:34and you're going to see it again over here.

1:36:34 > 1:36:36Watch this play, watch him stick his hand out,

1:36:36 > 1:36:38knock the ball out of the quarterback's hand,

1:36:38 > 1:36:42ending the game, ending the Carolina Panthers' undefeated season.

1:36:42 > 1:36:45The Atlanta Falcons - the Dirty Birds -

1:36:45 > 1:36:46got it done.

1:36:46 > 1:36:49He seems to have taken great joy in the Carolina Panthers

1:36:49 > 1:36:52losing their undefeated record. We'll bring him back in.

1:36:52 > 1:36:54How do you go from winning 38-0 a couple of weeks ago,

1:36:54 > 1:36:57against the same opponents, to losing?

1:36:57 > 1:37:00Not putting together a complete game, you know.

1:37:00 > 1:37:03They came out, they played a team that had played them before

1:37:03 > 1:37:05and this team knows them now,

1:37:05 > 1:37:08Atlanta, Dan Quinn is a defensive guy. He's got them down.

1:37:08 > 1:37:11This was the second shot at them and he made it happen.

1:37:11 > 1:37:14You said you'd been in situations like that where you played a team

1:37:14 > 1:37:15a couple of weeks before

1:37:15 > 1:37:17and then bounced back to get the win against them.

1:37:17 > 1:37:20Yeah, absolutely, because you're familiar with the guys,

1:37:20 > 1:37:23you're familiar with the guys you're going against and with the plays,

1:37:23 > 1:37:26and now your defensive coordinator finds all those little nuances

1:37:26 > 1:37:29that he can kind of turn on and make you execute better.

1:37:29 > 1:37:33Does this defeat... Look, you're trying hard not to smile!

1:37:33 > 1:37:36Yeah, I'm not going to say anything more. I'm just going to keep quiet.

1:37:36 > 1:37:40- I'm just going to relax back here. - And recline on the sofa.

1:37:40 > 1:37:42Do you think this one defeat affects anything

1:37:42 > 1:37:44in Cam Newton's race to be MVP?

1:37:44 > 1:37:45No, not in the race to be MVP.

1:37:45 > 1:37:48He's had a fantastic season, there's no question about that, man.

1:37:48 > 1:37:51I think this one blip on the radar is not going to mean anything.

1:37:51 > 1:37:53Look at the plays this man has made.

1:37:53 > 1:37:55There's really no question he's the MVP of the league.

1:37:55 > 1:37:57I thought he was very impressive again

1:37:57 > 1:38:00in his post-match press conference, saying they will use it as fuel.

1:38:00 > 1:38:01Do you think in some ways,

1:38:01 > 1:38:04if you're going to put a positive spin on this, it will help them,

1:38:04 > 1:38:06the fact they've lost that unbeaten record,

1:38:06 > 1:38:08the pressure that goes with it?

1:38:08 > 1:38:11Yeah, definitely the pressure, and also, it finally gives them

1:38:11 > 1:38:13the chance to evaluate what they haven't done well.

1:38:13 > 1:38:15When you're winning, nobody wants to rock the boat.

1:38:15 > 1:38:18They kind of give you comments on what you need to tweak

1:38:18 > 1:38:20but they don't really get after you, the coaches.

1:38:20 > 1:38:23- Now they're going to get after them. - Absolutely, man,

1:38:23 > 1:38:25but I think they would have preferred to go undefeated.

1:38:25 > 1:38:27I think everybody wants that on their record.

1:38:27 > 1:38:30But the pressure builds, the longer you stay undefeated.

1:38:30 > 1:38:32People talk about that as much as winning the Super Bowl.

1:38:32 > 1:38:33Absolutely, no question.

1:38:33 > 1:38:36But you still don't think they're a Super Bowl team.

1:38:36 > 1:38:38They're not a Super Bowl team. And I'm always right, Mark!

1:38:38 > 1:38:42You always are! Although if Jessica Ennis-Hill had ever finished a race

1:38:42 > 1:38:44like that, I don't think she would have ever won a medal.

1:38:44 > 1:38:48If you want to get involved, just use the hashtag #RaceToSP50

1:38:48 > 1:38:50or if you're new to the sport, #NFLRookie.

1:38:50 > 1:38:52Jason and Osi will be looking to provide some answers.

1:38:52 > 1:38:54Feel free to tweet us, Jessica.

1:38:54 > 1:38:57Now, let's round up the rest of the contenders from the NFC.

1:39:01 > 1:39:05Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw a season-high 365 yards

1:39:05 > 1:39:08for Washington, including four touchdowns,

1:39:08 > 1:39:12with a brace to Jordan Reed in their defeat of Philadelphia.

1:39:12 > 1:39:15It's Reed again! Touchdown!

1:39:15 > 1:39:20However, it was DeAngelo Hall who returned a DeMarco Murray fumble

1:39:20 > 1:39:2417 yards for a momentum-changing touchdown in the third quarter,

1:39:24 > 1:39:27and Washington went on to secure the victory

1:39:27 > 1:39:30and with it the NFC Eastern division title

1:39:30 > 1:39:32and a guaranteed play-off place.

1:39:36 > 1:39:38On Sunday evening,

1:39:38 > 1:39:41Green Bay travelled to Arizona in the NFC North.

1:39:41 > 1:39:45After a tense and scoreless first quarter, Arizona's defense was

1:39:45 > 1:39:48unleashed on Green Bay's quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

1:39:49 > 1:39:52Rodgers was sacked a total of eight times

1:39:52 > 1:39:57and a second fumble was returned for a touchdown by Jerraud Powers.

1:39:57 > 1:39:58Arizona went on to record

1:39:58 > 1:40:03a dominant 38-8 victory that clinched a first-round play-off bye.

1:40:06 > 1:40:09Minnesota could draw level with the Packers

1:40:09 > 1:40:12with a win at home to the New York Giants.

1:40:12 > 1:40:16Safety Harrison Smith took one of Eli Manning's three interceptions

1:40:16 > 1:40:20into the endzone and the Minnesota Vikings clinched a play-off spot

1:40:20 > 1:40:22with a 49-17 victory.

1:40:22 > 1:40:25Next week sees Minnesota travel to Green Bay.

1:40:25 > 1:40:28The winner will be the NFC North champions,

1:40:28 > 1:40:30the loser guaranteed a wild-card berth.

1:40:33 > 1:40:36Seattle will be the other wild-card,

1:40:36 > 1:40:39although they suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of

1:40:39 > 1:40:41division rivals, the St Louis Rams.

1:40:42 > 1:40:46Akeem Ayers returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown

1:40:46 > 1:40:50in the first quarter, as St Louis ended Seattle's five-game win streak

1:40:50 > 1:40:54and swept the season series, having won in overtime in week one.

1:40:59 > 1:41:02Well, I'm delighted to say that we're joined by Bruce Arians,

1:41:02 > 1:41:04head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.

1:41:04 > 1:41:06Thank you very much for talking to us, Bruce.

1:41:06 > 1:41:12First of all, I wonder if you believe in the idea of momentum in sport,

1:41:12 > 1:41:15and if you do, you are definitely the team who has that

1:41:15 > 1:41:16at the moment in the NFL.

1:41:16 > 1:41:20Oh, I don't think there's any doubt about it.

1:41:20 > 1:41:24Momentum is something that you earn on a practice field and builds

1:41:24 > 1:41:28week to week to week, and right now we feel pretty good about ourselves.

1:41:28 > 1:41:32Is it an advantage to have the rest ahead of the play-offs,

1:41:32 > 1:41:34to be one of the top two seeds,

1:41:34 > 1:41:37or do you worry about losing momentum with the week off?

1:41:37 > 1:41:40I don't think the week off...

1:41:40 > 1:41:43Two weeks off is something that's really tough, you know,

1:41:43 > 1:41:46if we rested our players this week and then had a week off,

1:41:46 > 1:41:48I'd worry about them getting stale,

1:41:48 > 1:41:53but the bye week is something that you earn, and the rest is good.

1:41:53 > 1:41:55Coach, I'd like to know about David Johnson

1:41:55 > 1:41:58and his recent impact on your running game.

1:41:58 > 1:42:00Oh, the guy's been amazing.

1:42:00 > 1:42:03We knew, as a rookie, he was going to be special.

1:42:03 > 1:42:05He got hurt back in training camp

1:42:05 > 1:42:08and we were fortunate enough that Chris Johnson came in

1:42:08 > 1:42:11and gave us three or four months of great football

1:42:11 > 1:42:13and now David has taken over

1:42:13 > 1:42:16and we had an idea he was going to be pretty special.

1:42:16 > 1:42:20And how important will the experience of Carson Palmer be, going forward?

1:42:20 > 1:42:23Oh, gosh, yeah, when you have a quarterback who's been there now,

1:42:23 > 1:42:25he's going to be a little nervous, you know,

1:42:25 > 1:42:27the one thing about him, he has not won a play-off game

1:42:27 > 1:42:30but he's more than excited about getting to the play-offs.

1:42:30 > 1:42:32How do you control those nerves?

1:42:32 > 1:42:34Well, I think... With a really good week of practice,

1:42:34 > 1:42:38and you got to get hit one time

1:42:38 > 1:42:41and be out there and complete that first ball,

1:42:41 > 1:42:44and even at 36 there's going to be butterflies.

1:42:44 > 1:42:47And how far ahead do you work as a coach now?

1:42:47 > 1:42:51Because obviously, when you get your schedule at the start of the season

1:42:51 > 1:42:52you can plan very easily.

1:42:52 > 1:42:55Are you looking at tapes at the moment of all teams who are

1:42:55 > 1:42:57going to be in the play-offs?

1:42:57 > 1:43:00Well, not really. We really...

1:43:00 > 1:43:03After we get done with Seattle,

1:43:03 > 1:43:08it would be probably Green Bay or Minnesota, the winner of that game,

1:43:08 > 1:43:11who...we have just played both of them in the last month,

1:43:11 > 1:43:14so that part would be easy, as far as preparation.

1:43:14 > 1:43:16And just give us, finally,

1:43:16 > 1:43:20an insight into how you viewed that performance against Green Bay?

1:43:20 > 1:43:23Defensively, I thought it was one of our best games.

1:43:23 > 1:43:25Green Bay, they were down a couple of guys.

1:43:25 > 1:43:28When you lose both your offensive tackles,

1:43:28 > 1:43:29your defensive line should dominate.

1:43:29 > 1:43:31- You know what I mean, Osi? - I do know what you mean!

1:43:31 > 1:43:34THEY LAUGH

1:43:34 > 1:43:36We thank you very much for joining us.

1:43:36 > 1:43:38We wish you well for the rest of the season.

1:43:38 > 1:43:40Well, Bruce won't be able to hear this, Osi.

1:43:40 > 1:43:45- So, do they look like a Super Bowl team to you?- Absolutely.

1:43:45 > 1:43:47This is a good football team.

1:43:47 > 1:43:50They are the most-balanced team in the league right now, offensively,

1:43:50 > 1:43:53they can score points defensively, they get in after the quarterback

1:43:53 > 1:43:56and they play really well on defense.

1:43:56 > 1:43:58They look like a team that can make a run.

1:43:58 > 1:44:01Going to their opponents, then, the other night, in the Packers,

1:44:01 > 1:44:04for even a quarterback as experienced as Aaron Rodgers,

1:44:04 > 1:44:06how much will that defeat have affected him,

1:44:06 > 1:44:08and the number of times he got hit?

1:44:08 > 1:44:11Getting hit that much definitely rattles you.

1:44:11 > 1:44:14It affects him because he doesn't have confidence

1:44:14 > 1:44:16that he can sit back there and do what he needs to do

1:44:16 > 1:44:19and deliver the ball down the field. He's running for his life.

1:44:19 > 1:44:21Look at him, man - I mean, he's panicking in the pocket.

1:44:21 > 1:44:24He's seeing ghosts, he's seeing things that aren't there,

1:44:24 > 1:44:26he's not able to focus down the field

1:44:26 > 1:44:29and make the plays that he's accustomed to making.

1:44:29 > 1:44:31If he doesn't have his offensive lineman back,

1:44:31 > 1:44:32he will be a shell of himself.

1:44:32 > 1:44:35So, the Vikings at the Packers for the division - who wins it?

1:44:35 > 1:44:36Vikings.

1:44:36 > 1:44:38- Vikings - even though it's at Lambeau?- Yeah.

1:44:38 > 1:44:41Because they're set up to beat them, with that banged-up offensive line,

1:44:41 > 1:44:43they are just too aggressive on defense.

1:44:43 > 1:44:46- Coach Zimmer will go after them! - No doubt about it.

1:44:46 > 1:44:49I am going with the Vikings too. I concur, J Bell!

1:44:49 > 1:44:51- I concur!- Oh, my word!

1:44:51 > 1:44:54That might be the first fist-pump of the season!

1:44:54 > 1:44:57Time to turn our attention to the AFC

1:44:57 > 1:45:00and the race for the wild-card berth going into Sunday's games.

1:45:00 > 1:45:03Kansas and Pittsburgh occupy the two play-off places,

1:45:03 > 1:45:05with the New York Jets awaiting any slip-ups.

1:45:05 > 1:45:08However, on paper, they had the harder task.

1:45:09 > 1:45:12The New England Patriots were the visitors to the Meadowlands

1:45:12 > 1:45:16on Sunday, needing a win to secure the AFC's number one seed

1:45:16 > 1:45:19and home-field advantage for the play-offs.

1:45:19 > 1:45:21The New York Jets, having already lost to New England

1:45:21 > 1:45:23back in week 7, needed the win,

1:45:23 > 1:45:27with the hope that Pittsburgh or Kansas City would lose

1:45:27 > 1:45:29and let them in for a wild-card spot.

1:45:29 > 1:45:33As we join the action, it's 3-3.

1:45:36 > 1:45:38First end goal for the Jets.

1:45:38 > 1:45:41New York looking for the lead.

1:45:41 > 1:45:42Marshall in motion.

1:45:42 > 1:45:46Marshall, the catch and the touchdown!

1:45:48 > 1:45:50Fitzpatrick delivers!

1:45:50 > 1:45:54The Jets go in front, late stages of the second quarter.

1:45:54 > 1:45:5713 plays, 80 yards for New York.

1:45:57 > 1:45:59Another touchdown reception for Marshall.

1:45:59 > 1:46:0012 now, on the season.

1:46:03 > 1:46:06On a 1st and 10 at the New York 40.

1:46:08 > 1:46:10Brady.

1:46:10 > 1:46:11Intercepted!

1:46:11 > 1:46:14Darrelle Revis!

1:46:14 > 1:46:15Walked down.

1:46:19 > 1:46:23Revis picks off Brady on a 19-yard return.

1:46:24 > 1:46:26On the slant route here,

1:46:26 > 1:46:30Revis realising that Brady trying to get Gronkowski involved

1:46:30 > 1:46:33in the offense early in the second half.

1:46:33 > 1:46:36We've got 9-24 to go in the 3rd.

1:46:36 > 1:46:38This is a 3rd and 11 for the Jets.

1:46:40 > 1:46:41Fitzpatrick.

1:46:41 > 1:46:44Sets. Throws. Endzone!

1:46:44 > 1:46:45Marshall is there!

1:46:45 > 1:46:47Touchdown!

1:46:47 > 1:46:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:46:51 > 1:46:5333 yards on the hook-up!

1:46:53 > 1:46:56There are times when a quarterback must have faith in his receiver,

1:46:56 > 1:46:59and that is what Fitzpatrick has in Marshall.

1:47:00 > 1:47:04Once the Patriots got the ball, Tom Brady led an eight play drive,

1:47:04 > 1:47:07ending in a 44-yard field goal from Stephen Gostkowski,

1:47:07 > 1:47:09to cut the lead to 17-6.

1:47:18 > 1:47:203rd and 5. Fitzpatrick.

1:47:20 > 1:47:21Loses the football!

1:47:21 > 1:47:22Ball is free.

1:47:22 > 1:47:24Jets trying to jump on it. They cannot.

1:47:24 > 1:47:26Jamie Collins scoops...

1:47:26 > 1:47:29and scores for the Patriots!

1:47:29 > 1:47:32New England looking for a big play,

1:47:32 > 1:47:34and they come up with it!

1:47:34 > 1:47:37Ball coming forward. Does he have control?

1:47:37 > 1:47:38Nope, that's a fumble.

1:47:38 > 1:47:42Ball knocked out of his hand before his hand can get forward.

1:47:42 > 1:47:48The New England Patriots with a huge play in this third quarter.

1:47:52 > 1:47:55After going as far as the Patriots' 26-yard line,

1:47:55 > 1:47:58the Jets settled for a 49-yard Randy Bullock field goal

1:47:58 > 1:48:00to make it 20-13.

1:48:05 > 1:48:09And it's 4th and 9 for New England.

1:48:09 > 1:48:12They need to get to the 26-yard line.

1:48:12 > 1:48:14White sets up on the outside.

1:48:14 > 1:48:16Shotgun for Brady.

1:48:17 > 1:48:19Brady...guns it.

1:48:19 > 1:48:22Caught by Gronkowski!

1:48:22 > 1:48:29Doesn't go down on first contact. Huge grab for the pro-baller!

1:48:29 > 1:48:32On this drive, Tom Brady is five of seven,

1:48:32 > 1:48:35including two of two on 4th down.

1:48:35 > 1:48:37It's 1st and goal for New England.

1:48:37 > 1:48:40Patriots looking for the equaliser.

1:48:46 > 1:48:49Brady steps up - over the middle! Wide open!

1:48:49 > 1:48:50James White!

1:48:50 > 1:48:54Touchdown Patriots!

1:48:54 > 1:48:57And Jets fans have seen this movie before.

1:48:57 > 1:49:0311 plays, 66 yards, Brady leads New England down the field.

1:49:03 > 1:49:06And we are heading to OT.

1:49:08 > 1:49:10New England, the visiting team.

1:49:10 > 1:49:13Again, the eagle side is heads, the T side is tails.

1:49:13 > 1:49:15Eagles is heads, the T side is tails.

1:49:15 > 1:49:18- Heads.- Heads is the call. Heads is the call.

1:49:19 > 1:49:20It is heads.

1:49:20 > 1:49:22- You want to kick? - We want to kick off.

1:49:22 > 1:49:24- You want to kick off.- That way. - You're going to receive.

1:49:24 > 1:49:26Which way do you want to receive?

1:49:26 > 1:49:28- Where do you want to receive at? - This way.- That way?

1:49:28 > 1:49:29OK, just like this.

1:49:29 > 1:49:31New England wins the toss.

1:49:31 > 1:49:32They elected to kick.

1:49:32 > 1:49:35We won, don't we get to choose?

1:49:35 > 1:49:36Wait a second here!

1:49:36 > 1:49:40Wait a second - Matthew Slater coming in.

1:49:40 > 1:49:41Wow!

1:49:41 > 1:49:42Good luck, gentlemen.

1:49:42 > 1:49:45Patriots elect to kick. That's a mistake.

1:49:45 > 1:49:47Slater was trying to correct the mistake

1:49:47 > 1:49:49and Clete Blakeman wouldn't let him.

1:49:49 > 1:49:52So, the Jets will get the ball to start the overtime.

1:49:52 > 1:49:56The Jets, if they score a touchdown, they win the game.

1:49:56 > 1:49:58That simple.

1:49:58 > 1:49:592nd and 8 for the Jets.

1:49:59 > 1:50:03Just underway in overtime. Tied at 20.

1:50:03 > 1:50:04Decker goes in motion.

1:50:04 > 1:50:06Two catches for Decker.

1:50:06 > 1:50:07Fitzpatrick throws.

1:50:07 > 1:50:10He's got Enunwa down the sideline!

1:50:10 > 1:50:13Quincy Enunwa makes a move upfield...

1:50:13 > 1:50:16and is brought down from behind.

1:50:16 > 1:50:20Chunks of yards! 48 of them!

1:50:20 > 1:50:23Well, he gets up on the outside, as Tomkins came to the inside

1:50:23 > 1:50:26with a little rub route there.

1:50:26 > 1:50:29Makes a big play there to get the Jets in field goal range.

1:50:29 > 1:50:32And the Jets will control their own destiny

1:50:32 > 1:50:36with a matchup in Buffalo against Rex Ryan and the Bills next week.

1:50:38 > 1:50:40Business to take care of here, though.

1:50:40 > 1:50:42Fitzpatrick.

1:50:42 > 1:50:43Caught by Marshall!

1:50:43 > 1:50:46Tremendous throw by Fitzpatrick,

1:50:46 > 1:50:49and Marshall making another catch in a crowd.

1:50:49 > 1:50:53Double team coming over too late on target by Fitzpatrick.

1:50:53 > 1:50:561st and goal. From the 6th.

1:50:56 > 1:50:59A touchdown is a game winner in overtime.

1:50:59 > 1:51:01Fitzpatrick...

1:51:01 > 1:51:03- endzone! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:51:03 > 1:51:05Eric Decker hauls it in!

1:51:05 > 1:51:08The Jets win in overtime!

1:51:11 > 1:51:13Before we went up for the toss,

1:51:13 > 1:51:15the coach told us if we won the toss,

1:51:15 > 1:51:17that he wanted to kick off, so...

1:51:17 > 1:51:21Obviously, as a player, you ask three or four times,

1:51:21 > 1:51:22just to double check,

1:51:22 > 1:51:25because you want the make sure that you get it right.

1:51:25 > 1:51:26So, we go out there, we won the toss.

1:51:26 > 1:51:28We chose to kick off,

1:51:28 > 1:51:30um, just like Coach instructed us to.

1:51:30 > 1:51:32And the only confusion was

1:51:32 > 1:51:34whether or not we got to choose which direction

1:51:34 > 1:51:36we got to kick the ball.

1:51:36 > 1:51:40Why did you elect to kick on the coin toss?

1:51:40 > 1:51:42I thought that was the best thing to do.

1:51:43 > 1:51:46Bill, what were your specific instructions to Matthew?

1:51:46 > 1:51:48Cos it seems like there was some confusion.

1:51:48 > 1:51:49There was no confusion.

1:51:51 > 1:51:53That victory for the New York Jets meant that Pittsburgh

1:51:53 > 1:51:56could not claim a play-off place on Sunday -

1:51:56 > 1:51:59but a win was imperative to retain their place

1:51:59 > 1:52:01in one of the wild-card berths.

1:52:01 > 1:52:02The Steelers travelled to Baltimore

1:52:02 > 1:52:05to take on the team with little to play for except pride,

1:52:05 > 1:52:08although they had beaten Pittsburgh back in week 4,

1:52:08 > 1:52:11when recording their first win of the season.

1:52:16 > 1:52:183rd and goal.

1:52:20 > 1:52:21Just a free man rush.

1:52:21 > 1:52:22Throwing to the endzone -

1:52:22 > 1:52:24touchdown!

1:52:24 > 1:52:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:52:25 > 1:52:28Chris Matthews on the receiving end!

1:52:28 > 1:52:32That's his first touchdown of the season,

1:52:32 > 1:52:37and the first thrown by Ryan Mallett as a member of the Ravens.

1:52:39 > 1:52:42At the Ravens' 15-yard line on 2nd and 6.

1:52:42 > 1:52:45Make it the 16-yard line.

1:52:45 > 1:52:48Roethlisberger throwing down the sideline.

1:52:48 > 1:52:49Caught...

1:52:49 > 1:52:50Is he in bounds?

1:52:50 > 1:52:52Touchdown Antonio Brown!

1:52:54 > 1:52:57With he and Bryant just doing a wheel route to the outside,

1:52:57 > 1:53:00catching the Ravens safety middle man to man underneath.

1:53:00 > 1:53:02Roethlisberger dials in it.

1:53:02 > 1:53:04I don't know if he had full control of that -

1:53:04 > 1:53:07because it was ruled a touchdown, it's automatically reviewed.

1:53:07 > 1:53:10After review, the ruling on the field has changed.

1:53:10 > 1:53:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:53:13 > 1:53:15The receiver did not maintain possession

1:53:15 > 1:53:18until he pinned the ball against his waist.

1:53:18 > 1:53:21Therefore he got one foot down in bounds.

1:53:23 > 1:53:26After Brown's touchdown call was reversed,

1:53:26 > 1:53:28the Steelers had to settle for a field goal -

1:53:28 > 1:53:31Chris Boswell kicking from over 34 yards.

1:53:31 > 1:53:34Once the Ravens got the ball, Mallett led them on an 11-play drive,

1:53:34 > 1:53:37culminating in a 37-yard Justin Tucker field goal.

1:53:43 > 1:53:46On first down, Roethlisberger with time.

1:53:46 > 1:53:48Throwing over the middle - intercepted!

1:53:48 > 1:53:52Picked off at the 45-yard line by Daryl Smith.

1:53:53 > 1:53:56That is only the fifth pass the Baltimore Ravens have intercepted

1:53:56 > 1:53:58all season long.

1:53:58 > 1:54:01Let's see if they can turn it into points on the board.

1:54:01 > 1:54:04The Ravens converted the interception into points,

1:54:04 > 1:54:06Tucker hitting a 50-yard field goal

1:54:06 > 1:54:09to take a 10-point lead into half-time.

1:54:13 > 1:54:161st and goal for the Steelers.

1:54:16 > 1:54:1953 yards and penalties just on this drive.

1:54:19 > 1:54:22DeAngelo Williams straight ahead!

1:54:22 > 1:54:24Diving for the endzone.

1:54:24 > 1:54:26And touchdown!

1:54:26 > 1:54:31A 78-yard drive, aided greatly by two-pass interference calls,

1:54:31 > 1:54:34and Pittsburgh has its first touchdown of the day.

1:54:34 > 1:54:3813-10, Ravens.

1:54:41 > 1:54:43Roethlisberger sidelined.

1:54:43 > 1:54:45And that is intercepted!

1:54:45 > 1:54:46Picked off by Jimmy Smith!

1:54:56 > 1:54:57Wide open.

1:54:57 > 1:54:59The catch is made by Juszczyk!

1:54:59 > 1:55:01Juszczyk inside the 5!

1:55:01 > 1:55:03It'll be 1st and goal.

1:55:04 > 1:55:07A career best for Ryan Mallett.

1:55:07 > 1:55:09He still has 10-40 on the clock.

1:55:09 > 1:55:102nd and goal.

1:55:13 > 1:55:15Allen...putting it back -

1:55:15 > 1:55:16to the endzone!

1:55:16 > 1:55:18Touchdown, Baltimore!

1:55:22 > 1:55:29First Baltimore touchdown in the fourth quarter since week 10.

1:55:29 > 1:55:32Roethlisberger spreads the field on 1st and goal.

1:55:32 > 1:55:34Three tight ends on the field for Pittsburgh.

1:55:34 > 1:55:36A quick pass.

1:55:36 > 1:55:37Intercepted!

1:55:37 > 1:55:40Picked off by Jimmy Smith!

1:55:40 > 1:55:43Smith up the sideline, and he is going to go!

1:55:52 > 1:55:56We have a penalty marker down back at the goal line.

1:55:56 > 1:55:59- UMPIRE:- Offside.

1:55:59 > 1:56:00Defense.

1:56:00 > 1:56:02Number 91.

1:56:02 > 1:56:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:56:05 > 1:56:06Replay.

1:56:09 > 1:56:11DeAngelo Williams, right side, looking for a touchdown -

1:56:11 > 1:56:13and he got it!

1:56:16 > 1:56:22Instead of 27-10 Baltimore, with seven minutes to play,

1:56:22 > 1:56:25it's now 20-17 Baltimore.

1:56:25 > 1:56:28Pittsburgh the best two-man offense in the NFL.

1:56:28 > 1:56:3285 points scored in the last two minutes of a half.

1:56:32 > 1:56:34That's the most in the NFL!

1:56:34 > 1:56:363rd and 15.

1:56:39 > 1:56:42Roethlisberger deep down the sideline!

1:56:43 > 1:56:45Dive is incomplete.

1:56:45 > 1:56:48Intended for Martavis Bryant.

1:56:48 > 1:56:51And here is Roethlisberger and the Steelers on 4th down.

1:56:51 > 1:56:57They need the Baltimore 48-yard line for a first down.

1:57:00 > 1:57:02Then going to go deep down the other side.

1:57:02 > 1:57:04It is incomplete!

1:57:04 > 1:57:07Intended for Markus Wheaton. Broken up by Shareece Wright.

1:57:07 > 1:57:12You cannot say enough about this Baltimore Ravens team today.

1:57:14 > 1:57:18Jets win, you guys fall, you don't control your own fate right now,

1:57:18 > 1:57:19you have to win and hope they lose.

1:57:19 > 1:57:22How do you...move forward with that?

1:57:22 > 1:57:25Well, that's...

1:57:25 > 1:57:28That's our own fault. My fault. Um...

1:57:28 > 1:57:31You know, we controlled our own destiny and we blew it, today -

1:57:31 > 1:57:33we gave the ball away, and we can't do that.

1:57:33 > 1:57:34I can't do that.

1:57:36 > 1:57:38That Pittsburgh loss meant the Kansas City Chiefs

1:57:38 > 1:57:42could claim a play-off place as they entertain the Cleveland Browns.

1:57:42 > 1:57:44Sitting on an eight-game win streak,

1:57:44 > 1:57:47Kansas City still entertained hopes of beating Denver

1:57:47 > 1:57:49to the AFC Western division crown,

1:57:49 > 1:57:52and took on a Cleveland team odds-on

1:57:52 > 1:57:54for next year's number one draft choice.

1:57:59 > 1:58:012nd down and 10.

1:58:01 > 1:58:04An orchestrated drive.

1:58:04 > 1:58:06Smith four or five.

1:58:07 > 1:58:09Into the nickel.

1:58:09 > 1:58:10Smith...

1:58:10 > 1:58:14Touchdown! What a catch! Macklin!

1:58:14 > 1:58:16He's just gone over the goal line,

1:58:16 > 1:58:20and he has just gone over a thousand yards receiving!

1:58:20 > 1:58:24Macklin has got a touchdown pass for the second consecutive week -

1:58:24 > 1:58:28he has made an immense difference to this Kansas City passing attack.

1:58:30 > 1:58:31Following a Browns three and out,

1:58:31 > 1:58:34the Chiefs orchestrated a 9-play drive

1:58:34 > 1:58:37ending in a 40-yard Cairo Santos field goal.

1:58:37 > 1:58:41This gave them a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.

1:58:41 > 1:58:43The Browns finally got on the board

1:58:43 > 1:58:46on their second possession of the second quarter,

1:58:46 > 1:58:49a 45-yard Travis Coons field goal making it a 7-point gain.

1:58:53 > 1:58:56Came in across 15 and the takeaway-giveaway.

1:58:56 > 1:58:582nd down. Nine man zone.

1:58:58 > 1:59:02Intercepted! Picked off by Peters!

1:59:02 > 1:59:05He's got an entourage - he gets by Johnson,

1:59:05 > 1:59:07he gets a block downfield by Zombo.

1:59:07 > 1:59:12He's just picked off his eighth pass of the year -

1:59:12 > 1:59:14a 46-yard return!

1:59:14 > 1:59:17If Pittsburgh loses and the Chiefs win,

1:59:17 > 1:59:19the Chiefs are in.

1:59:19 > 1:59:211st and 10.

1:59:21 > 1:59:24Quick throw - touchdown Kelce!

1:59:27 > 1:59:31His last touchdown reception was a month ago.

1:59:31 > 1:59:34He just tumbles in for six.

1:59:39 > 1:59:43Manziel takes it himself, and he's got wide open room to roam.

1:59:43 > 1:59:45Looking for a block from Jennings,

1:59:45 > 1:59:46falls at the feet of Smith,

1:59:46 > 1:59:49and he slides his way into Kansas City territory

1:59:49 > 1:59:53at the 48-yard line with a run of 34 on first down.

1:59:53 > 1:59:56Well, they're going to take advantage of Frank Zombo.

1:59:56 > 1:59:57He's trying to tackle the back -

1:59:57 > 2:00:00Johnny Manziel sees the squeeze and he pulls it.

2:00:03 > 2:00:06Here is a run by Crowell and a block by Dray,

2:00:06 > 2:00:09and that is a touchdown!

2:00:09 > 2:00:13Isaiah Crowell takes it in, 11-yard touchdown run,

2:00:13 > 2:00:17and the Cleveland Browns are back in business

2:00:17 > 2:00:19with 9-15 to play in the 3rd.

2:00:21 > 2:00:24The Browns' next possession ended with a 36-yard field goal

2:00:24 > 2:00:27from Coons to make it 17-13.

2:00:27 > 2:00:30The Chiefs couldn't score on their next two possessions

2:00:30 > 2:00:33and the Browns got the ball back with less than a minute to play.

2:00:36 > 2:00:373rd and 10.

2:00:41 > 2:00:43There it is. Give them a chance.

2:00:43 > 2:00:45Manziel, Barnidge.

2:00:45 > 2:00:481st down. 32-yard line brought down by Parker.

2:00:48 > 2:00:50Pick up on the play.

2:00:50 > 2:00:52No time-out, the clock continues to tick.

2:00:52 > 2:00:54From the Chiefs' 32, 1st and 10.

2:00:54 > 2:00:57- They'll clock it. - Now you're in a position

2:00:57 > 2:00:59where you could take a couple of shots to the endzone.

2:00:59 > 2:01:013rd and 10.

2:01:05 > 2:01:09Manziel, deep and incomplete for Benjamin.

2:01:09 > 2:01:11Coverage by Smith.

2:01:11 > 2:01:134th and 10.

2:01:13 > 2:01:15They got a chance to make a first, get out of bounds

2:01:15 > 2:01:17and still have some time left on the clock.

2:01:17 > 2:01:20Kansas City's doing a good job getting up the field

2:01:20 > 2:01:24and really forcing Johnny Manziel to step back up inside the pocket.

2:01:24 > 2:01:276 defensive backs, 4th and 10.

2:01:27 > 2:01:28Manziel...

2:01:28 > 2:01:30It's caught!

2:01:30 > 2:01:31It's grabbed on the play by Jennings.

2:01:31 > 2:01:36He's got the 1st down to the 17-yard line, a pick-up of 14.

2:01:36 > 2:01:39Look at the clock! They've to truck it, they've got no time-outs!

2:01:39 > 2:01:41It's over!

2:01:41 > 2:01:44Kevin, it needed about another two or three seconds.

2:01:44 > 2:01:46That's what happens in that situation.

2:01:46 > 2:01:50You can see the reaction of Johnny Manziel. All so close.

2:01:50 > 2:01:57Congratulations on a nice win, men, and you're in the dance.

2:01:57 > 2:01:58That's pretty good.

2:01:58 > 2:02:01That's a dance you like the dance, right there, so...

2:02:01 > 2:02:03We'll come back to the Chiefs' dancing in just a mo.

2:02:03 > 2:02:06Let's go back right to the beginning of that little lot.

2:02:06 > 2:02:10Can you understand at all what patriots were doing in choosing

2:02:10 > 2:02:12to kick off in overtime?

2:02:12 > 2:02:14That's Belichick's philosophy.

2:02:14 > 2:02:15He's a defensive guy.

2:02:15 > 2:02:17He can count on his quarterback to execute whatever

2:02:17 > 2:02:20he needs to do in case they have to go score.

2:02:22 > 2:02:24It's what you like to call

2:02:24 > 2:02:26somebody outsmarting themselves, Mark.

2:02:26 > 2:02:28Well, I have actually been in that situation in

2:02:28 > 2:02:30a press conference where you ask him a question,

2:02:30 > 2:02:31and I've never been more nervous

2:02:31 > 2:02:33in a sporting situation in my life.

2:02:33 > 2:02:36If you're going to try different things and try to be clever,

2:02:36 > 2:02:38occasionally you're going to get it wrong

2:02:38 > 2:02:39and you just have to accept that.

2:02:39 > 2:02:42It will backfire. There's a normal way of doing things

2:02:42 > 2:02:44and then there's the Bill Belichick way of doing things

2:02:44 > 2:02:46and it bit him this particular time.

2:02:46 > 2:02:49And also, the attention on that decision means that maybe

2:02:49 > 2:02:51the Jets and Fitzpatrick haven't got the credit they deserve

2:02:51 > 2:02:54for the way he managed that drive down the field.

2:02:54 > 2:02:56Yeah, he's gelling with his receivers

2:02:56 > 2:02:58really good at this time of year.

2:02:58 > 2:03:00They've got rhythm, they're on the same page,

2:03:00 > 2:03:02they played well down the stretch.

2:03:02 > 2:03:04What are the Steelers doing?

2:03:04 > 2:03:07That's tough. That was a really difficult loss for them, man.

2:03:07 > 2:03:09How do you lose to the Baltimore Ravens

2:03:09 > 2:03:12with Ryan Mallett, their quarterback,

2:03:12 > 2:03:13knowing everything you had to play for?

2:03:13 > 2:03:15I can't believe that happened to Mike Tomlin.

2:03:15 > 2:03:17This is a tremendous coach

2:03:17 > 2:03:19and for his team to fall like that was very disappointing.

2:03:19 > 2:03:21But we've sat here week after week

2:03:21 > 2:03:23and said that is the best offense in the NFL,

2:03:23 > 2:03:25when firing with a fit Roethlisberger,

2:03:25 > 2:03:28yet, Baltimore... What did they say in the commentary?

2:03:28 > 2:03:30Only their fifth interception of the season.

2:03:30 > 2:03:32Right, remember, it's a division game. They know each other.

2:03:32 > 2:03:35- Oh, the division game! - Division game.

2:03:35 > 2:03:37They know each other, they know what to do,

2:03:37 > 2:03:39they confuse Big Ben,

2:03:39 > 2:03:41they threw all kinds of coverages at him,

2:03:41 > 2:03:44and he's trying to force it to Antonio Brown.

2:03:44 > 2:03:47We spoke with Bruce Arians about momentum.

2:03:47 > 2:03:50The Chiefs have momentum as well.

2:03:50 > 2:03:52Considering how they started the season,

2:03:52 > 2:03:53to now be in the play-offs

2:03:53 > 2:03:56and still have a chance of winning their division is remarkable.

2:03:56 > 2:03:58Yeah, and losing early helped them, right?

2:03:58 > 2:04:01Cos they were able to fix the things they needed to fix

2:04:01 > 2:04:03and now they're rolling on all cylinders

2:04:03 > 2:04:06because they've got their vibe and their flow.

2:04:06 > 2:04:07It started coming from here.

2:04:07 > 2:04:10They came to London, played in Wembley Stadium...

2:04:10 > 2:04:11It took off from there.

2:04:11 > 2:04:13I think you'll find it took off from when I started

2:04:13 > 2:04:17dressing up as Andy Reid, and then their fortunes changed.

2:04:17 > 2:04:21Let's just quickly take a look at the fixtures that are coming up

2:04:21 > 2:04:23in week 17.

2:04:23 > 2:04:26You can see the division will be decided with the Raiders

2:04:26 > 2:04:28at the Chiefs, Chargers at the Broncos.

2:04:28 > 2:04:30I'm interested in Jets at the Bills.

2:04:30 > 2:04:32If the Jets win that, they're in the play-offs,

2:04:32 > 2:04:35- but so much history. - Yeah, that's going to be tough.

2:04:35 > 2:04:39Rex Ryan coaching the Buffalo Bills is going to give his ALL

2:04:39 > 2:04:42- to defeat the New Yorkers.- I think he might be trying to prove a point.

2:04:42 > 2:04:45- Oh, my goodness, that's going to be a tough one.- It's his Super Bowl.

2:04:45 > 2:04:48Right, last week, Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger

2:04:48 > 2:04:52and coach Mike Tomlin were wired for sound as they entertained Denver.

2:04:52 > 2:04:54At one point they found themselves trailing by 13 points

2:04:54 > 2:04:56in the second quarter.

2:04:56 > 2:04:59We talked about going against the best in the world but we're the best in the world.

2:04:59 > 2:05:02Let's go take care of our business and have fun doing it.

2:05:02 > 2:05:03Love you guys.

2:05:03 > 2:05:05Osweiler hits it wide open.

2:05:05 > 2:05:08Emmanuel Sanders, nobody within 10 yards

2:05:08 > 2:05:10and he goes the whole distance.

2:05:10 > 2:05:13Oh, my God. How did that happen?

2:05:13 > 2:05:16We've got to be on the same page cos they're not beating us, we're beating ourselves.

2:05:16 > 2:05:18But the big thing we can't do is get frustrated

2:05:18 > 2:05:20- and stop talking to one another. - No, I got you.

2:05:20 > 2:05:23Keep talking to one another and clean it up. That's all.

2:05:23 > 2:05:25Once we do that, we'll be fine.

2:05:25 > 2:05:28Ben stays shotgun. He's back. He throws for the endzone.

2:05:28 > 2:05:30- Touchdown! - And the Steelers are climbing back.

2:05:30 > 2:05:33Aaah! Yes! Yes!

2:05:33 > 2:05:36Tied at 27. Play action...

2:05:36 > 2:05:40Big rush. He's going to be hit, steps out of a rush...

2:05:40 > 2:05:42And it's picked up!

2:05:42 > 2:05:44Whoo! We got one!

2:05:44 > 2:05:47What a big takeaway by Steelers' defense!

2:05:47 > 2:05:48Don't blink. Let's go.

2:05:48 > 2:05:51Block lines to 334.

2:05:51 > 2:05:53Shotgun for Ben. He's back.

2:05:53 > 2:05:54Throws it for the endzone,

2:05:54 > 2:05:55touchdown!

2:05:55 > 2:05:58They're 20 up now and the Steelers have caught up and gone ahead!

2:05:58 > 2:06:03Whoo-hoo! Whoo! Whoo!

2:06:03 > 2:06:05Uhhh! Uhh!

2:06:05 > 2:06:08Hey, heck of a job. I've got a tonne of respect for you, man.

2:06:08 > 2:06:10Thanks, I appreciate it. Good luck to you, all right?

2:06:10 > 2:06:13- It's always good fun watching you play.- Good luck to you guys.

2:06:13 > 2:06:18Time to round up the rest of the AFC, starting with the South division,

2:06:18 > 2:06:21where Houston and Indianapolis have been matching each other all season.

2:06:24 > 2:06:28And Houston wasted no time in exerting their authority,

2:06:28 > 2:06:32Quintin Demps opened in the scoring with a 33-yard fumble return.

2:06:33 > 2:06:37Stand-in quarterback Brandon Weeden ran in his first career touchdown

2:06:37 > 2:06:41and threw two more to DeAndre Hopkins and Nate Washington

2:06:41 > 2:06:44as Houston romped to a 34-zip scoreline

2:06:44 > 2:06:45by the end of the third quarter

2:06:45 > 2:06:49and ultimately a two-game advantage over Indianapolis.

2:06:49 > 2:06:53Hopkins climbing the ladder for the Houston touchdown!

2:06:57 > 2:07:00The Colts were in Miami, but with New York Giant Odell Beckham

2:07:00 > 2:07:02suspended from action this week,

2:07:02 > 2:07:05it was down to former LSU team-mate Jarvis Landry

2:07:05 > 2:07:09to add to the fantastic one-handed grab collection.

2:07:09 > 2:07:11Controls it beautifully!

2:07:11 > 2:07:14That's one of the best catches I've seen all season, no doubt.

2:07:16 > 2:07:19However, leading by just 6 points in the final minute,

2:07:19 > 2:07:21Indianapolis looked like their division aspirations

2:07:21 > 2:07:26might be in severe danger when Miami had 4th and goal from the 5.

2:07:26 > 2:07:31And Tannehill is down in the 150-yard line

2:07:31 > 2:07:36and the last-ditch hope for the Miami Dolphins dissolves.

2:07:36 > 2:07:39Indianapolis hang on for an important win,

2:07:39 > 2:07:40just a game behind Houston,

2:07:40 > 2:07:44which leaves the AFC South up for grabs next week.

2:07:48 > 2:07:50The Denver Broncos entertained the newly crowned

2:07:50 > 2:07:53AFC North division champions, Cincinnati,

2:07:53 > 2:07:54on Monday Night Football,

2:07:54 > 2:07:57and earned their fifth consecutive play-off berth

2:07:57 > 2:08:01with a thrilling 20-17 overtime win.

2:08:01 > 2:08:03In sub-zero temperatures,

2:08:03 > 2:08:07Denver fought back from 14 points down before Brandon McManus

2:08:07 > 2:08:09shanked a 45-yard field goal attempt

2:08:09 > 2:08:11at the end of regulation.

2:08:11 > 2:08:13Oh, it's not even close!

2:08:13 > 2:08:15It missed the net!

2:08:15 > 2:08:17And we will go to overtime!

2:08:17 > 2:08:21He made amends with a 37-yard field goal to put Denver ahead

2:08:21 > 2:08:24and then DeMarcus Ware beat Cincinnati quarterback

2:08:24 > 2:08:28AJ McCarron to a fumbled snap, ending the game.

2:08:28 > 2:08:31And the Broncos are in the play-offs!

2:08:32 > 2:08:37The victory means Denver can earn the top AFC seed next week.

2:08:41 > 2:08:44Although Denver would need the Patriots to lose at the Dolphins

2:08:44 > 2:08:45if they were to do that.

2:08:45 > 2:08:49So you'd still put your money on the Patriots to be the top seed ahead of the Broncos, would you?

2:08:49 > 2:08:51HE INHALES DEEPLY

2:08:51 > 2:08:53- Oh!- That's a tough one.

2:08:53 > 2:08:56It's the same thing with the Patriots every week.

2:08:56 > 2:08:59They can win but they're just so banged up.

2:08:59 > 2:09:01How many times can Tom Brady keep trying to pull it off?

2:09:01 > 2:09:04- It didn't work this week. - I heard a stat today.

2:09:04 > 2:09:06Tom Brady is the only member of the Patriot offense

2:09:06 > 2:09:10who's started every game in the same position this season,

2:09:10 > 2:09:13- which shows how banged up they have been.- That's amazing.

2:09:13 > 2:09:16- That's amazing.- There's nothing else you can say about that.

2:09:16 > 2:09:17I feel sorry for them.

2:09:17 > 2:09:20Just an amazing stat that I've pulled out of nowhere.

2:09:20 > 2:09:22Let's take a look at the AFC South, then,

2:09:22 > 2:09:27the Texans and the Colts are going down to the final game.

2:09:27 > 2:09:30However, if the Colts were to overtake the Texans,

2:09:30 > 2:09:33it would need something like nine separate results

2:09:33 > 2:09:36to all come in, so you would say it's the Texans.

2:09:36 > 2:09:38I'm taking the Texans. I'm a Texan.

2:09:38 > 2:09:41I believe in the Texans and I don't have a calculator on me

2:09:41 > 2:09:44- to figure out all the other math.- Oh, you're a Texan now?

2:09:44 > 2:09:47- I'm a Texan!- Tomorrow you're going to be a Giant. Which one is it?

2:09:47 > 2:09:50- I'm diversified.- No, you can only be one. You can only be one, J Bell.

2:09:50 > 2:09:54Well, he's a Texan now. I'll allow it.

2:09:54 > 2:09:57Now, I know you think anybody can catch a ball one-handed,

2:09:57 > 2:10:00so I'm assuming you're just going to say about Jarvis Landry's catch,

2:10:00 > 2:10:02that anybody could do it.

2:10:02 > 2:10:05Like I said, Mark, they do this all the time.

2:10:05 > 2:10:08These guys do this all the time. Well, I can't...

2:10:08 > 2:10:11Not always, but he had his hand on the ground.

2:10:11 > 2:10:14I was out there looking at this. This is amazing.

2:10:14 > 2:10:17- How do you cover that? - You can't do anything about that.

2:10:17 > 2:10:20And him and Odell Beckham Jr played at college together?

2:10:20 > 2:10:23Yes. These guys must have had a routine after practice

2:10:23 > 2:10:26that I don't know about cos both of these guys are just spectacular.

2:10:26 > 2:10:29I guarantee you he probably dropped a pass

2:10:29 > 2:10:31that hit him right there in both hands earlier in that game.

2:10:31 > 2:10:33I guarantee you he did. But you're going to make those

2:10:33 > 2:10:35one-handed catches. They're going to do that.

2:10:35 > 2:10:38- Finished?- They'll do that. - Finished?- They'll do it.

2:10:38 > 2:10:41Let's round up the sights and sounds you may have missed from week 16.

2:10:46 > 2:10:49That was a helluva team win. All right?

2:10:49 > 2:10:52- Let's just make sure that we're very complimentary.- Yes.

2:10:52 > 2:10:54So when they come back in a couple of weeks, you know,

2:10:54 > 2:10:57there's nothing on the bulletin board

2:10:57 > 2:11:00- other than the bruises on their - BLEEP.- I'll see you Wednesday.

2:11:03 > 2:11:05Everybody together, making it happen, man.

2:11:05 > 2:11:08Congratulations, this is something you'll never forget, man.

2:11:08 > 2:11:11Something I'll never forget. I'm proud of each and every one of you.

2:11:12 > 2:11:15You got that. You got that.

2:11:15 > 2:11:17I don't know what that is.

2:11:42 > 2:11:46Carolina and Arizona are champions of the South and West.

2:11:46 > 2:11:49Both will enjoy a week off during wild-card weekend.

2:11:49 > 2:11:51Washington have claimed the Eastern division,

2:11:51 > 2:11:53whilst Green Bay and Minnesota will go head to head

2:11:53 > 2:11:55for the North next week.

2:12:05 > 2:12:08Either Houston or Indianapolis will be champions of the South,

2:12:12 > 2:12:16The other wild-card will be either the New York Jets or Pittsburgh.

2:12:16 > 2:12:19Just time for a little bit of social media. As ever, an NFL rookie.

2:12:19 > 2:12:23This comes from Jarris99. "What is the pro bowl?" Jason?

2:12:23 > 2:12:25Oh, well that's something Osi would attend.

2:13:09 > 2:13:15No longer unbeaten, the Arizona Cardinals clear winners out West.

2:13:17 > 2:13:21The defending champions stumbling, twists and turns, stress,
