1:00:02 > 1:00:0460 minutes of football, taking it to them right from the start.
1:00:04 > 1:00:07Lofts it into the end zone...
1:00:07 > 1:00:09- Ridiculous.- Touchdown!
1:00:09 > 1:00:11Somersault for the touchdown!
1:00:11 > 1:00:13Unbelievable.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16Pass is intercepted at the goal line!
1:00:16 > 1:00:19The New England Patriots are the NFL champions.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29Welcome to the race for Super Bowl 50.
1:00:29 > 1:00:31Where I'm walking right now and standing,
1:00:31 > 1:00:33that's where Kentucky is.
1:00:33 > 1:00:35That's where they race horses.
1:00:35 > 1:00:38Right here, in Cincinnati, Ohio,
1:00:38 > 1:00:40this is where they play football.
1:00:40 > 1:00:42Welcome to Wildcard Weekend.
1:00:42 > 1:00:45This is huge. This is when it happens.
1:00:45 > 1:00:46Let's make magic.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51And the wildcard magic shapes up like this.
1:00:51 > 1:00:55AFC Northern champions Cincinnati hosting the wildcard sixth seed
1:00:55 > 1:00:57and division rivals Pittsburgh.
1:00:59 > 1:01:02Houston, champions of the south and number four seeds,
1:01:02 > 1:01:05entertaining the red-hot wildcard Kansas City Chiefs.
1:01:06 > 1:01:10AFC top seeds Denver and New England enjoying the week off.
1:01:11 > 1:01:14Over in the NFC, the Carolina Panthers and the Arizona Cardinals,
1:01:14 > 1:01:18champions of the south and the west divisions, have the bye.
1:01:18 > 1:01:21For Minnesota, champions of the north and number three seed,
1:01:21 > 1:01:24a home clash with the number six seed,
1:01:24 > 1:01:26the wildcard Seattle Seahawks.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29Washington, as champions of the east and number four seed,
1:01:29 > 1:01:31host the other wildcard team, the Green Bay Packers.
1:01:34 > 1:01:36Yes, hello. You all right if I do this bit,
1:01:36 > 1:01:37or do you want to do this as well?
1:01:37 > 1:01:40- You got it.- You sure? - No problem.- OK. Fine.
1:01:40 > 1:01:42This is where the going gets tough,
1:01:42 > 1:01:44knockout football at its best.
1:01:44 > 1:01:46With me, two-time Super Bowl winner
1:01:46 > 1:01:48with the New York Giants, Osi Umenyiora,
1:01:48 > 1:01:49and that man trying to take my job,
1:01:49 > 1:01:53former cornerback with Dallas, Houston and the Giants, Jason Bell.
1:01:53 > 1:01:56Right, our first action comes from Minneapolis
1:01:56 > 1:01:59where the Minnesota Vikings took on the Seattle Seahawks
1:01:59 > 1:02:04in a rematch of the Week 13 clash that saw the Seahawks win 38-7.
1:02:04 > 1:02:06Revenge, however, is best served cold.
1:02:09 > 1:02:13There is a glow, a protective coating of finest feathers,
1:02:13 > 1:02:16that the Seattle Seahawks carry into the playoffs.
1:02:16 > 1:02:18This is a flight path they know well.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21They have won in Minneapolis already this season.
1:02:21 > 1:02:24They have been to the last two Super Bowls.
1:02:24 > 1:02:28The Seahawks may be wildcards, but they are hot.
1:02:28 > 1:02:31Minneapolis is cold.
1:02:31 > 1:02:35The Minnesota Vikings are masters of the frozen north.
1:02:35 > 1:02:37Old Scandinavian question -
1:02:37 > 1:02:40graceful Seahawk soaring in the air,
1:02:40 > 1:02:43what happens when you land on ice?
1:02:50 > 1:02:53This whole beginning of this game is a positive for the Vikings.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55And Ryan has the field.
1:02:55 > 1:02:57A low snap and he's going to take off with it!
1:02:57 > 1:03:02And Jon Ryan will only get to the 29-yard line.
1:03:02 > 1:03:04And that's a bigger positive for the Vikings.
1:03:04 > 1:03:08The snap by Clint Gresham
1:03:08 > 1:03:09was low...
1:03:09 > 1:03:12You see a low snap, that's part of the cold,
1:03:12 > 1:03:15You see a punter with no gloves on,
1:03:15 > 1:03:18who's now going to try and take off, and they make the stop.
1:03:18 > 1:03:22So are the weather conditions a factor so far? You have to say yes.
1:03:22 > 1:03:25The team not used to dealing with these conditions
1:03:25 > 1:03:27is having a problem so far.
1:03:27 > 1:03:30A young quarterback with a huge play right here.
1:03:30 > 1:03:32Got McKinnon in the backfield,
1:03:32 > 1:03:36that has been a little bit of a safety blanket there. Let's see.
1:03:39 > 1:03:40And he throws,
1:03:40 > 1:03:43and that will be broken up at the three-yard line.
1:03:43 > 1:03:44Intended for McKinnon,
1:03:44 > 1:03:48and KJ Wright kind of one of the quieter of the Seahawk defenders,
1:03:48 > 1:03:51you don't hear that much about him, but he's had a fabulous season,
1:03:51 > 1:03:53breaking at a 4th and goal.
1:03:53 > 1:03:5622-yard attempt for Blair Walsh.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03Nice hold there by Locke, who had to reach up for it.
1:04:05 > 1:04:07But now, 3rd down and very long.
1:04:07 > 1:04:11It's 107 passing yards for the two teams combined.
1:04:11 > 1:04:123rd down and 10.
1:04:14 > 1:04:17Four-man rush, pressure put on,
1:04:17 > 1:04:22and a one-handed grab by Doug Baldwin - sensational catch
1:04:22 > 1:04:25- on a 3rd down and 10. - That was awesome.
1:04:25 > 1:04:28Watch this catch. On 3rd down and 10,
1:04:28 > 1:04:31you don't know if you're going to get drilled in the back,
1:04:31 > 1:04:33you don't know what's going to happen.
1:04:33 > 1:04:36He comes down and keeps that drive alive.
1:04:36 > 1:04:38Pete Carroll wants to convert some 3rd downs.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41Superstars have to make plays in the playoffs.
1:04:41 > 1:04:44Trying to convert a 4th down.
1:04:44 > 1:04:46Baldwin comes into the backfield.
1:04:47 > 1:04:49Still on the move.
1:04:50 > 1:04:54And Wilson - under pressure, look out for behind.
1:04:54 > 1:04:55Throws...
1:04:55 > 1:04:57Intercepted at the 24-yard line!
1:04:57 > 1:05:00- Trae Waynes.- He can fly!
1:05:00 > 1:05:03The number-one draft choice.
1:05:03 > 1:05:05Back to the 45-yard line.
1:05:05 > 1:05:063rd and 14.
1:05:06 > 1:05:10If they don't get a yard here you're looking at about a 50-yard attempt.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15Three receivers all to the left and looking over the middle
1:05:15 > 1:05:18and then throwing and McKinnon makes the catch
1:05:18 > 1:05:22and is still on his feet and then is taken down at about the 25.
1:05:22 > 1:05:27So, you're looking at about a 43-yard attempt right now
1:05:27 > 1:05:28to make it 6-0.
1:05:28 > 1:05:31He's made six over 50 this year.
1:05:31 > 1:05:36The 43-yard attempt into the frigid air is perfect.
1:05:38 > 1:05:40Minnesota would add another field goal from Walsh
1:05:40 > 1:05:44on their ensuing possession to make him three for three on the day.
1:05:44 > 1:05:46But it didn't come without a scare
1:05:46 > 1:05:49as Seattle's Richard Sherman nearly blocked the kick.
1:05:56 > 1:05:58From the 39-yard line.
1:05:59 > 1:06:01Whoops!
1:06:01 > 1:06:03Oh, a high snap off his shoulder
1:06:03 > 1:06:06and Wilson just trying to get it away.
1:06:06 > 1:06:10And wide open, making the catch is Tyler Lockett.
1:06:10 > 1:06:13And Lockett is inside the 20 and he gets slung down
1:06:13 > 1:06:15at the four-yard line.
1:06:15 > 1:06:19So, broken play, a snap that gets away and it's a first in goal.
1:06:19 > 1:06:21Absolutely unbelievable, the difference!
1:06:21 > 1:06:25Watch the fact that none of the offensive linemen go downfield.
1:06:25 > 1:06:27So many times, on a busted play like this,
1:06:27 > 1:06:30they will go down the field, and Lockett all alone.
1:06:30 > 1:06:33Everybody gets distracted on something like that.
1:06:33 > 1:06:342nd down and goal.
1:06:36 > 1:06:38Hurst coming across the formation.
1:06:40 > 1:06:41Wilson on that roll, throws,
1:06:41 > 1:06:43caught, touchdown!
1:06:43 > 1:06:47- Doug Baldwin. - Guess who he is against?
1:06:47 > 1:06:49When you go to a number three cornerback
1:06:49 > 1:06:52he will be in the crosshairs.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55That's Mike Wallace going in motion to the outside.
1:06:56 > 1:06:58Peterson makes the catch here.
1:06:58 > 1:07:00And loses the ball!
1:07:00 > 1:07:03And, Wagner among others, is there.
1:07:03 > 1:07:07Sherman says Seattle has it and they do!
1:07:07 > 1:07:11So, Adrian Peterson. They go to a back-to-back on pass plays
1:07:11 > 1:07:15and he coughs this one up and that puts Seattle in great shape.
1:07:15 > 1:07:17Plenty of time.
1:07:17 > 1:07:23Gets by KJ Wright and then it's Kam Chancellor stripping that ball out.
1:07:23 > 1:07:27Just an unbelievable turn of events in this game.
1:07:27 > 1:07:2946-yard attempt.
1:07:29 > 1:07:3113 field goal attempts in post-season play
1:07:31 > 1:07:33and he's made them all.
1:07:33 > 1:07:34Ryan will hold.
1:07:34 > 1:07:38This, to give Seattle the lead, otherwise...
1:07:39 > 1:07:41..Minnesota gets the ball at the 36.
1:07:41 > 1:07:43Gresham to snap it
1:07:43 > 1:07:48and Hauschka has just given Seattle the lead.
1:07:48 > 1:07:50So, the Vikings have two time-outs.
1:07:50 > 1:07:52All they really have to do is get into field goal range
1:07:52 > 1:07:54with 1:42 remaining.
1:07:55 > 1:07:58Walsh staying loose along the sideline
1:07:58 > 1:08:02for what he hopes will be a lead changing field goal attempt.
1:08:02 > 1:08:042nd down and 10. 1:38.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06Blitz coming.
1:08:06 > 1:08:10Bridgwater fires deep downfield, incomplete, but a flag comes in.
1:08:12 > 1:08:16Kam Chancellor, with his arms up, but Kyle Rudolph...
1:08:16 > 1:08:19Coming right up the field, tries to make a move inside.
1:08:19 > 1:08:20Sort of gets grabbed.
1:08:20 > 1:08:23I thought that he got away with one a little earlier in the game.
1:08:23 > 1:08:26Did not get away with that one.
1:08:26 > 1:08:2894 seconds remaining.
1:08:31 > 1:08:32Four-man rush.
1:08:32 > 1:08:36Pass, caught, Rudolf down the sideline he goes.
1:08:36 > 1:08:38And out of bounds at the 20-yard line.
1:08:38 > 1:08:41So Peterson is in there. You've got a 3rd down and 4.
1:08:43 > 1:08:44If they get the 1st down,
1:08:44 > 1:08:47they can tick the clock all the way down to the end.
1:08:47 > 1:08:48Peterson...
1:08:50 > 1:08:55..and he's about a yard short of the 1st down. So it's 4th down.
1:08:55 > 1:08:57Now they're compelled to kick the field goal.
1:08:57 > 1:09:00Had they got the first down, of course they could have taken
1:09:00 > 1:09:03it all the way down and kicked a game-ending field goal.
1:09:03 > 1:09:07Now you have 26 seconds so, if the kick is good,
1:09:07 > 1:09:11Seattle is going to get the ball with maybe 21 or 22 seconds.
1:09:11 > 1:09:15Richard Sherman almost got the last one, Al, and sometimes,
1:09:15 > 1:09:17the special teams coach will say, make sure you get Sherman,
1:09:17 > 1:09:21and the guy inside of Sherman can jump in that gap
1:09:21 > 1:09:24so it's going to be a very dangerous side
1:09:24 > 1:09:26off to the kicker's right side,
1:09:26 > 1:09:28off to Blair Walsh's right-hand side.
1:09:28 > 1:09:3427-yard attempt. Jeff Locke is the holder. McDermott is the snapper.
1:09:34 > 1:09:35And the kick is no good!
1:09:38 > 1:09:40Wow!
1:09:40 > 1:09:44Oh, baby, yeah! No good. Not even close.
1:09:44 > 1:09:46Let's look at these laces one more time.
1:09:46 > 1:09:50Jeff Locke, the holder, is going to try and put it down and, bingo!
1:09:50 > 1:09:53Looking right back at the kicker and I'm telling you,
1:09:53 > 1:09:57psychologically, sometimes that can get a kicker.
1:09:57 > 1:10:00But there's no way to practise
1:10:00 > 1:10:03making a three-foot putt to win the Masters
1:10:03 > 1:10:06and there is no way to practise the pressure
1:10:06 > 1:10:10of a game-winning playoff field goal.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12Unbelievable.
1:10:12 > 1:10:14You know, whenever you pull to the left like that,
1:10:14 > 1:10:17you didn't stay long enough into the kick and commit through it enough,
1:10:17 > 1:10:19and that's what I didn't do.
1:10:19 > 1:10:20I had done it all day,
1:10:20 > 1:10:23so I'm not sure why I, you know, didn't there.
1:10:23 > 1:10:25But it's frustrating, no doubt.
1:10:25 > 1:10:27I feel bad for their kicker, you know,
1:10:27 > 1:10:28missing the kick right there,
1:10:28 > 1:10:31and under the most difficult of circumstances,
1:10:31 > 1:10:34so everything that anybody did well today should be commended,
1:10:34 > 1:10:36because it was such a difficult atmosphere to play in.
1:10:36 > 1:10:40The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Minnesota Vikings,
1:10:40 > 1:10:43thanks in part to the play of Russell Wilson,
1:10:43 > 1:10:44AKA Dangerous,
1:10:44 > 1:10:47AKA Ciara's boyfriend.
1:10:47 > 1:10:49He is part of the new breed of quarterback that can beat you
1:10:49 > 1:10:51with his arms as well as his legs
1:10:51 > 1:10:54and we are going to show you examples of both.
1:10:54 > 1:10:57Right here, you can see him beating you with both his arms and his legs
1:10:57 > 1:11:00as he rolls out to the right and delivers an accurate pass
1:11:00 > 1:11:02to my man Doug Baldwin, who gets out of bounds
1:11:02 > 1:11:06and right here, you are going to see him beat you with his legs
1:11:06 > 1:11:09as Everson Griffen, the defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings
1:11:09 > 1:11:13is going to crash down and Russell Wilson is going to see this
1:11:13 > 1:11:16and he's going to take off - look at how fast this man is running.
1:11:16 > 1:11:18I've played in -2 degree weather,
1:11:18 > 1:11:20I couldn't feel my hands, I couldn't feel my legs
1:11:20 > 1:11:23and honestly, I couldn't feel other things.
1:11:23 > 1:11:24We'll talk about that later.
1:11:24 > 1:11:27And right here, you see the Minnesota Vikings
1:11:27 > 1:11:29now start to take control of the game.
1:11:29 > 1:11:31They are freaking them out a little bit
1:11:31 > 1:11:33as you see them employing
1:11:33 > 1:11:35what I like to refer to as the mush rush.
1:11:35 > 1:11:38They collapse the pocket on him
1:11:38 > 1:11:40and you see Russell Wilson panic a little bit
1:11:40 > 1:11:44and make an errant throw, bailed out by an incredible catch
1:11:44 > 1:11:47by Doug Baldwin, because, you know why?
1:11:47 > 1:11:49They make those catches all the time.
1:11:49 > 1:11:50Innit, Mark? Innit?
1:11:50 > 1:11:52And they keep going - right here,
1:11:52 > 1:11:55Minnesota is still doing a good job of it
1:11:55 > 1:11:59as you see them employ the same strategy
1:11:59 > 1:12:01and collapse the pocket on him again
1:12:01 > 1:12:05and they are going to make him pay this time as they say,
1:12:05 > 1:12:07"We don't care nothing about Ciara, we like Beyonce,
1:12:07 > 1:12:09"we're going to make you pay."
1:12:09 > 1:12:11"Give me that ball" says Trae Waynes,
1:12:11 > 1:12:13as he goes all the way down with an incredible play
1:12:13 > 1:12:16for the Minnesota Vikings, but as you guys well know,
1:12:16 > 1:12:18you cannot keep a good man down,
1:12:18 > 1:12:21and that's exactly what Russell Wilson is -
1:12:21 > 1:12:23100 million quarterback. Geez!
1:12:23 > 1:12:26And you see him, in this situation, drop the ball.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29Most quarterbacks would panic. But not him.
1:12:29 > 1:12:31Watch him keep his eyes down the field
1:12:31 > 1:12:33and deliver an incredible pass.
1:12:33 > 1:12:38Look at this guy keep his eyes down the field the whole time
1:12:38 > 1:12:41and deliver a great pass to Tyler Lockett,
1:12:41 > 1:12:44who goes all the way down the field again for an incredible play
1:12:44 > 1:12:47for the Seattle Seahawks, and he's not done yet.
1:12:47 > 1:12:50Right here, as they get down the field,
1:12:50 > 1:12:55watch him roll out to the left and make an incredible pass again
1:12:55 > 1:12:57for the touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks.
1:12:57 > 1:13:00Russell Wilson, a great football player for the Seattle Seahawks,
1:13:00 > 1:13:02getting it done.
1:13:02 > 1:13:06He meant he couldn't feel his nose, either, all right?
1:13:06 > 1:13:09In the other NFC matchup, the wild card, Green Bay Packers,
1:13:09 > 1:13:11travelled to the champions of the East,
1:13:11 > 1:13:13the Washington Redskins.
1:13:15 > 1:13:18The Green Bay Packers - not so much striding into the play-offs
1:13:18 > 1:13:21as tumbling through the late weeks of the regular season,
1:13:21 > 1:13:25clinging to the lifeline of wildcard qualification.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27The Washington Redskins,
1:13:27 > 1:13:31just as erratic in the wildly fluctuating NFC East,
1:13:31 > 1:13:35but racing into the postseason on a four-game winning streak.
1:13:35 > 1:13:37Two teams, hard to analyse,
1:13:37 > 1:13:41and with no recent history to offer guidance -
1:13:41 > 1:13:43they haven't met since 2013.
1:13:43 > 1:13:47Strangers about to give it the big embrace.
1:13:53 > 1:13:553rd down and 13.
1:13:55 > 1:14:00And the endzone - down goes Rodgers for a safety.
1:14:00 > 1:14:02The pool rush is where he could struggle
1:14:02 > 1:14:05and that's what Preston Smith brings on him
1:14:05 > 1:14:07right back into Rodgers in the pocket.
1:14:07 > 1:14:09Great start for Washington Redskins.
1:14:09 > 1:14:11Inside the red zone,
1:14:11 > 1:14:14as Washington, number eight in the league this year
1:14:14 > 1:14:15for scoring touchdowns.
1:14:15 > 1:14:17Inside the 20.
1:14:17 > 1:14:19Wide open - Jackson.
1:14:19 > 1:14:20To the pylon...
1:14:23 > 1:14:24Touchdown.
1:14:26 > 1:14:29After review, the runner crosses the goal line,
1:14:29 > 1:14:31but his foot does not land in the end zone.
1:14:31 > 1:14:35The ball is at the half-yard line when he touches out of bounds.
1:14:35 > 1:14:38It will be Washington's ball, 1st and goal at the half-yard line.
1:14:38 > 1:14:41The clock will start when we are ready for play.
1:14:41 > 1:14:45DeSean Jackson, usually with such a great nose and feel
1:14:45 > 1:14:48for the endzone, had the ball in the right arm,
1:14:48 > 1:14:50didn't get the foot down in the endzone.
1:14:50 > 1:14:53After Jackson failed to score a touchdown,
1:14:53 > 1:14:56Washington came up short on the following three plays,
1:14:56 > 1:15:01settling for a 25-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal to give them a 5-0 lead.
1:15:09 > 1:15:103rd down and 10.
1:15:10 > 1:15:13Protected. Endzone!
1:15:13 > 1:15:15Touchdown, Jordan Reed.
1:15:16 > 1:15:18One-on-one, he sails them round
1:15:18 > 1:15:23as though he is going to go to the middle and not up to the post.
1:15:23 > 1:15:26Just an excellent job on his part.
1:15:26 > 1:15:29So far, 14 plays, ten yards, one 1st down
1:15:29 > 1:15:32and they have not been able to advance the ball
1:15:32 > 1:15:33past their own 32.
1:15:33 > 1:15:35Give Green Bay a 1st down.
1:15:38 > 1:15:41Looking right, back to his left, in the pocket, down the middle...
1:15:41 > 1:15:44For Jones. Nice catch, James Jones.
1:15:44 > 1:15:48Will Blackmon, the former Packer, in coverage.
1:15:48 > 1:15:50This Green Bay offence in the red zone,
1:15:50 > 1:15:52number 18 in the NFL this year.
1:15:52 > 1:15:55The Packers go right back to the line of scrimmage, here,
1:15:55 > 1:15:57causing some confusion.
1:15:57 > 1:15:59- Well, he got him again, Joe. - They got him again.
1:15:59 > 1:16:02Gruden was trying to call time out, didn't get it.
1:16:02 > 1:16:05Endzone - pass is caught for the touchdown.
1:16:05 > 1:16:07Randall Cobb.
1:16:07 > 1:16:10But there are flags on the field.
1:16:10 > 1:16:14Gruden was trying to get a time out, was not granted the time out,
1:16:14 > 1:16:16and we'll bring in Mike Pereira -
1:16:16 > 1:16:18did you see Jay Gruden going down the field,
1:16:18 > 1:16:20begging for the time out?
1:16:20 > 1:16:22Yeah, I saw it, but the officials...
1:16:22 > 1:16:24- REFEREE:- ..we have offside, number 99,
1:16:24 > 1:16:26penalty is declined, also 12 men.
1:16:26 > 1:16:28That penalty is declined
1:16:28 > 1:16:30and the result of the play, touchdown.
1:16:30 > 1:16:32MIKE: At the snap, Joe, they are not looking back up-field -
1:16:32 > 1:16:35they got to focus on the ball, so they are not going to see that.
1:16:35 > 1:16:37You've got to call time out earlier.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40That drive looked like the Green Bay Packers to me -
1:16:40 > 1:16:42you get the long one to James Jones down the middle,
1:16:42 > 1:16:44set him up, the handoff to Cobb,
1:16:44 > 1:16:46and then the completion on the free play.
1:16:49 > 1:16:51On 1st down. Four-man rush...
1:16:51 > 1:16:53And the ball is out.
1:16:53 > 1:16:54WHISTLE BLOWS
1:16:54 > 1:16:58A sack, a fumble, and we'll see who has got it.
1:16:58 > 1:17:00The Packers say they have it - and they do.
1:17:02 > 1:17:05Following the turnover, Rodgers led an eight-play drive
1:17:05 > 1:17:08that ended with a 43-yard Mason Crosby field goal.
1:17:08 > 1:17:11The Packers then forced a three-and-out,
1:17:11 > 1:17:12giving Rodgers the ball back
1:17:12 > 1:17:15with less than two minutes remaining in the half.
1:17:18 > 1:17:192nd and goal, here.
1:17:22 > 1:17:23Just got it away -
1:17:23 > 1:17:27Adams, wide open for the touchdown!
1:17:29 > 1:17:32And there is life with this Green Bay Packers offense.
1:17:34 > 1:17:36Cousins starts in the shotgun.
1:17:36 > 1:17:38Bunch formation down here at the bottom.
1:17:38 > 1:17:41Jordan Reed, all alone up top.
1:17:41 > 1:17:44They are going to give him a little help with the safety.
1:17:46 > 1:17:48Cousins, for the touchdown!
1:17:51 > 1:17:54Spread them out and walk it in.
1:17:54 > 1:17:57It's an excellent job of play calling and execution
1:17:57 > 1:18:00by the center, who is making his first start in 11 weeks.
1:18:00 > 1:18:02Touchdown, Redskins.
1:18:02 > 1:18:04PLAY CALL
1:18:11 > 1:18:15Hard count didn't work - Eddie Lacey does.
1:18:15 > 1:18:17Tripped up with a 1st down.
1:18:17 > 1:18:20A conversion for the guy with the bad rib.
1:18:20 > 1:18:21PLAY CALL
1:18:23 > 1:18:27Lacey again. Lacey breaks loose.
1:18:27 > 1:18:29Goldson in his way.
1:18:32 > 1:18:34And Eddie Lacey down inside the 5.
1:18:34 > 1:18:38A big conversion on 4th down, and now Eddie Lacey,
1:18:38 > 1:18:40good for 30.
1:18:40 > 1:18:43It's the longest run of the season for Eddie Lacey.
1:18:45 > 1:18:47Tossed to Starks, running right...
1:18:48 > 1:18:50Touchdown, Green Bay.
1:18:51 > 1:18:54The Packers answer the touchdown by Kirk Cousins
1:18:54 > 1:18:57as Green Bay is back on top.
1:18:59 > 1:19:03What a weapon that hard count is for Aaron Rodgers. 1st and 5.
1:19:04 > 1:19:06Starks cuts back.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08Good run.
1:19:08 > 1:19:12And James Starks is out of bounds inside the 5.
1:19:12 > 1:19:15This is Green Bay offense is rolling right now.
1:19:15 > 1:19:16Eddie Lacey checks back in.
1:19:22 > 1:19:24He gets it. Touchdown.
1:19:26 > 1:19:29And you can forget the win and all the talk about that.
1:19:29 > 1:19:32They just ran it right down the Washington Redskins' throat.
1:19:32 > 1:19:34And Jay Gruden, with five minutes to play,
1:19:34 > 1:19:37he doesn't have a choice but to go for it here on 4th down.
1:19:37 > 1:19:394th down and 10.
1:19:40 > 1:19:43Cousins...is sacked!
1:19:43 > 1:19:45And the Packers take over.
1:19:45 > 1:19:48Nick Perry.
1:19:48 > 1:19:53And Aaron Rodgers onto the field, celebrating what has got to feel
1:19:53 > 1:19:56like a fantastic game for the road team.
1:19:56 > 1:19:59The Green Bay Packers really stepped up here today.
1:19:59 > 1:20:01It's huge for us. It really is.
1:20:01 > 1:20:05I talked a lot the last couple of weeks about being able to turn it on
1:20:05 > 1:20:07and a lot of you probably thought that was lip service.
1:20:07 > 1:20:11But...we just needed a game like this to get our mojo back
1:20:11 > 1:20:13and get our confidence going.
1:20:13 > 1:20:17I said this week that it just takes one, you know,
1:20:17 > 1:20:19it just takes one performance
1:20:19 > 1:20:21to get us going back in the right direction
1:20:21 > 1:20:23and believing we can make it run.
1:20:23 > 1:20:25That's the way you want to play offence, you know?
1:20:25 > 1:20:26When you get in the playoffs,
1:20:26 > 1:20:28you don't have to talk about regular season no more.
1:20:28 > 1:20:31I don't know if you guys got the memo on that, so...
1:20:31 > 1:20:33- LAUGHTER - But, yeah, thanks. It's...
1:20:33 > 1:20:36It's, you know, it's the way you need to play,
1:20:36 > 1:20:38and we are going to have to play that way moving forward.
1:20:38 > 1:20:41Right, we'll come back to that game in just a moment,
1:20:41 > 1:20:45but let's go back to the first game, Seahawks winning at the Vikings.
1:20:45 > 1:20:47You've done Russell Wilson, brilliantly.
1:20:47 > 1:20:48Talk to me about laces,
1:20:48 > 1:20:52cos this is everywhere in the NFL community as a moment,
1:20:52 > 1:20:54about why it is harder for a kicker to kick
1:20:54 > 1:20:57when the laces are facing him - why?
1:20:58 > 1:21:01Well, obviously, it matters because he missed the kick,
1:21:01 > 1:21:04but you know, it's all psychological with those guys, it's so routine,
1:21:04 > 1:21:07that if they are not used to kicking with their laces out,
1:21:07 > 1:21:09if they see it, I just think it gets to them.
1:21:09 > 1:21:12They should be able to make a kick anyway.
1:21:12 > 1:21:14- So a psychological thing for you, as well?- Absolutely, man.
1:21:14 > 1:21:18This is something they've practised and honestly, the holder should know
1:21:18 > 1:21:20that his kicker likes the ball a certain type of way
1:21:20 > 1:21:23and for him to make that mistake at that crucial of a time,
1:21:23 > 1:21:25disastrous for the Minnesota Vikings.
1:21:25 > 1:21:27Do you think the cold affected the guy placing it
1:21:27 > 1:21:30in the sense that normally, they'd spin it round, wouldn't they?
1:21:30 > 1:21:32But obviously, it was so cold,
1:21:32 > 1:21:34you want to concentrate on catching the ball.
1:21:34 > 1:21:36Yeah, and he had gloves on. Most of the time,
1:21:36 > 1:21:37holders don't wear gloves,
1:21:37 > 1:21:39so that definitely affected them turning the ball.
1:21:39 > 1:21:41Probably couldn't even feel the ball.
1:21:41 > 1:21:43He was just like, "Just put it down..."
1:21:43 > 1:21:46Blair Walsh was in tears afterwards.
1:21:46 > 1:21:48He said he was the only one of the Vikings
1:21:48 > 1:21:50who didn't do his job properly.
1:21:50 > 1:21:54If you had been in the locker room, how would you both have dealt...?
1:21:54 > 1:21:56Look, he is laughing already! How would you...
1:21:56 > 1:21:59How would you have dealt with it? I'll start with you first,
1:21:59 > 1:22:01because you're the more sensitive of the two.
1:22:01 > 1:22:04I definitely would have went up to him, cos I'm a team-mate,
1:22:04 > 1:22:06but it's got to be very lonely for him.
1:22:06 > 1:22:09Kickers already have a lonely life, you know?
1:22:09 > 1:22:11They do a lot of things by themselves,
1:22:11 > 1:22:14but losing a game, they definitely feel at the bottom of the barrel.
1:22:14 > 1:22:15I would have went to him, too,
1:22:15 > 1:22:17but I would've went up to him to give him an earful.
1:22:17 > 1:22:19MARK LAUGHS
1:22:19 > 1:22:22- That wouldn't have helped! - Honestly, it really depends.
1:22:22 > 1:22:24We had a kicker, Laurence Tynes,
1:22:24 > 1:22:26who would make crucial kicks all the time,
1:22:26 > 1:22:28so if it was somebody like him who made a mistake like that,
1:22:28 > 1:22:30I wouldn't say anything to him,
1:22:30 > 1:22:32I'd go and give him a hug, I'd tell them how I feel about him.
1:22:32 > 1:22:35But if it is a guy who doesn't come through all the time
1:22:35 > 1:22:38and then he is put in that situation to get us over the hump
1:22:38 > 1:22:40- and he doesn't... - HE WHISTLES
1:22:40 > 1:22:41..we'll have to let him know about it.
1:22:41 > 1:22:43Just because it winds you up,
1:22:43 > 1:22:46I'm going to show a couple of great catches from the two games,
1:22:46 > 1:22:48starting with the Doug Baldwin catch,
1:22:48 > 1:22:50which you have already thrown back at me.
1:22:50 > 1:22:53- Do you appreciate this at all? - I mean, it's a routine catch, but...
1:22:53 > 1:22:56- Oh, my goodness! - We do that all the time.
1:22:56 > 1:22:57Well, they do that all the time.
1:22:57 > 1:23:00Whilst we see several replays of that "routine" catch,
1:23:00 > 1:23:03this Seahawks will worry the Panthers, won't they?
1:23:03 > 1:23:06I think so. They are similar teams
1:23:06 > 1:23:09and I believe that the matchup with the tight end
1:23:09 > 1:23:12versus their defensive backs - Seattle's -
1:23:12 > 1:23:16I think they have the advantage and at this close of a game,
1:23:16 > 1:23:18any advantage is what is going to turn the corner for them.
1:23:18 > 1:23:21As we see the Reed catch again, just to wind you up -
1:23:21 > 1:23:23I don't even want to talk about the Reed catch,
1:23:23 > 1:23:25I just want to wind you up - is this...
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Was this game more reminiscent of the Packers
1:23:28 > 1:23:30at the start of the season
1:23:30 > 1:23:32or do you have to take into account the fact they were playing
1:23:32 > 1:23:34a Redskins side who haven't beaten
1:23:34 > 1:23:36a side with a winning record this season?
1:23:36 > 1:23:38A pretentious Redskins side, should you say?
1:23:38 > 1:23:40I mean, I don't think Redskins were really that good.
1:23:40 > 1:23:43They were hot down to the end, but like you said,
1:23:43 > 1:23:45they hadn't beaten a team with a winning record.
1:23:45 > 1:23:47You go up against a team like the Packers,
1:23:47 > 1:23:50playing for their playoff lives, it's going to end up like that.
1:23:50 > 1:23:52But even for somebody as great as Aaron Rodgers, I mean,
1:23:52 > 1:23:56he was smiling in two, three and four, those quarters.
1:23:56 > 1:23:59So, psychologically, he needed that kind of game before going back
1:23:59 > 1:24:03to the Cardinals, where he got beaten up just a couple of weeks ago.
1:24:03 > 1:24:06Absolutely - even if it's not for himself as a player,
1:24:06 > 1:24:08it's for that offense and the rest of the team to know,
1:24:08 > 1:24:11"Hey, our guy still has it." Because he is that guy for them.
1:24:11 > 1:24:15- That ain't going to help 'em, Mark. - So that won't help them at all?
1:24:15 > 1:24:17He is going to need a lot more than that to go to Arizona
1:24:17 > 1:24:20- and win that game. - That's true.- Right.
1:24:20 > 1:24:23If you want to get involved, use the hashtag, #RaceToSB50.
1:24:23 > 1:24:25If you are new to the sport, #NFLRookie.
1:24:25 > 1:24:28Jason and Usi will try and answer some of those questions.
1:24:28 > 1:24:32Now, in last week's crucial AFC Eastern division matchup,
1:24:32 > 1:24:34Buffalo's wide receiver Sammy Watkins was a man
1:24:34 > 1:24:37in the thick of the action, and he was wired for sound.
1:24:42 > 1:24:45Revis really giving Watkins a lot of cushion.
1:24:45 > 1:24:49Taylor and Watkins, that chemistry is developing.
1:24:49 > 1:24:51GRUNTING
1:24:52 > 1:24:55It is caught by Sammy Watkins, who else?
1:24:55 > 1:24:58Let's go, pick it up. Let's sell out, man.
1:24:58 > 1:25:02Watkins...continues to burn the Jets.
1:25:04 > 1:25:08And guess who? Watkins on the receiving end.
1:25:11 > 1:25:13Myers. He's got Sammy...bottles it, catches it again.
1:25:13 > 1:25:15A second time - he's on a run.
1:25:15 > 1:25:18The Sammy Watkins Show today, ladies and gentlemen.
1:25:18 > 1:25:21Sammy Watkins, 11 catches, one every 37 yards.
1:25:21 > 1:25:22Yeah, baby!
1:25:22 > 1:25:25I love it. The snow, the cold - that's what I live for.
1:25:25 > 1:25:27That is when big-time players make big-time plays,
1:25:27 > 1:25:29in any type of weather.
1:25:29 > 1:25:32We came out today as a team and we fought and played well.
1:25:32 > 1:25:33It's what we expected.
1:25:33 > 1:25:37Right, time now to turn our attention to the AFC's wildcard games.
1:25:37 > 1:25:39We sent Jason stateside to see
1:25:39 > 1:25:42if Cincinnati could win a game in the play-offs
1:25:42 > 1:25:44for the first time in 25 years.
1:25:44 > 1:25:46To make things even more interesting -
1:25:46 > 1:25:49although a visit from Jason is interesting enough, we'd agree?
1:25:49 > 1:25:50- Absolutely.- Absolutely. Such a lie!
1:25:50 > 1:25:54They were up against divisional rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers.
1:26:01 > 1:26:05We are in Cincinnati, home of the AFC North champions.
1:26:05 > 1:26:10They are playing their bitter rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
1:26:10 > 1:26:12It is live in this city right now.
1:26:12 > 1:26:14Let's go, baby! Whoa!
1:26:14 > 1:26:16This is a rivalry game.
1:26:16 > 1:26:17These two teams kind of hate each other.
1:26:17 > 1:26:20It's our time. Our time to take over.
1:26:20 > 1:26:23It doesn't matter where we play - Steeler Nation!
1:26:23 > 1:26:25It's time. It's time to win one.
1:26:26 > 1:26:30Let's see if Cincinnati can finally pull off a win in the play-offs.
1:26:32 > 1:26:34SIREN CHIRPS
1:26:34 > 1:26:37Pulling up right now is the Pittsburgh Steelers.
1:26:37 > 1:26:40And, unlike the Cincinnati Bengals,
1:26:40 > 1:26:42they have their starting quarterback, Big Ben,
1:26:42 > 1:26:44who is pretty good and I should know,
1:26:44 > 1:26:45cos I played against him.
1:26:46 > 1:26:50- E-Man!- My guy.- What's up, man? - I'm doing good, man. I'm blessed.
1:26:52 > 1:26:55So, this is a football city.
1:26:55 > 1:26:58I mean, they love their Cincinnati Bengals.
1:26:58 > 1:27:01What would this do for the fans, a win tomorrow?
1:27:01 > 1:27:04I mean, tell me how it would feel for them.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06I feel like the fans would go crazy in the city, man.
1:27:06 > 1:27:09They'd have to have cars patrolling the areas and all that.
1:27:09 > 1:27:12But man, it'd be good for the city, of course.
1:27:12 > 1:27:16It's been a long time, you know, winning a championship here, but...
1:27:16 > 1:27:18In terms of as far as the Super Bowl.
1:27:18 > 1:27:20But, you know... It'd be good to have that,
1:27:20 > 1:27:23but right now, you know, we're just taking one day at a time.
1:27:23 > 1:27:27You guys have duked it out over and over again.
1:27:27 > 1:27:31It's like a boxing match where you've fought the guy three times.
1:27:31 > 1:27:32What is the key, man?
1:27:32 > 1:27:35Um...eliminating mistakes,
1:27:35 > 1:27:37just doing our job to the best ability,
1:27:37 > 1:27:41just competing and...eliminating fouls, of course.
1:27:41 > 1:27:45Does the pressure of the old Cincinnati Bengals,
1:27:45 > 1:27:47as far as what's happened in the playoffs,
1:27:47 > 1:27:49do you feel like that affects you guys
1:27:49 > 1:27:51or do you guys not even think about that?
1:27:51 > 1:27:53No, man - the past is the past, know what I mean?
1:27:53 > 1:27:55We hear that a lot. You've got to leave the past where it's at.
1:27:55 > 1:27:58Just focus on what we have right now, what's at stake.
1:27:58 > 1:28:01You're talking about two teams that are so equally matched -
1:28:01 > 1:28:03that's what it comes down to, right?
1:28:03 > 1:28:05- Who doesn't make...- Mistakes. - Mistakes.- Exactly.
1:28:05 > 1:28:07That's what it's going to come down to, man -
1:28:07 > 1:28:10who makes less mistakes and who wants it bad.
1:28:10 > 1:28:11How bad do you want it, man?
1:28:11 > 1:28:13That's what it's going to come down to.
1:28:13 > 1:28:14That's what I believe.
1:28:15 > 1:28:20Both sides as a team, hanging out, pre-gaming it,
1:28:20 > 1:28:21having some barbecue...
1:28:21 > 1:28:22Look at this!
1:28:22 > 1:28:25..this is the only time they're going to be friends.
1:28:25 > 1:28:28Cos as soon as this game starts, they are going to hate each other.
1:28:28 > 1:28:32But right now, they are enjoying the atmosphere. This is football.
1:28:37 > 1:28:40It's going to be a close game, but I think that the Bengals
1:28:40 > 1:28:41are going to pull it out.
1:28:41 > 1:28:42- Look at him! - THEY LAUGH
1:28:42 > 1:28:45You're looking good, man. You ready to rock and roll?
1:28:45 > 1:28:47- You know it, man.- Man, I'm pumped.
1:28:52 > 1:28:53It's been dry all day,
1:28:53 > 1:28:55and now you start to see the rain come down.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57It's going to affect this game.
1:28:57 > 1:28:59We are going to see who can play good in the weather.
1:28:59 > 1:29:01We know, on the road to Super Bowl,
1:29:01 > 1:29:03we've got to play in some bad weather.
1:29:03 > 1:29:06Let's see which team is one step closer.
1:29:09 > 1:29:10The first half was a nervy affair.
1:29:10 > 1:29:13Things started to heat up in the third quarter.
1:29:17 > 1:29:20From the 29, McCarron. Has the ball come out of his hands?
1:29:20 > 1:29:22That's a free football.
1:29:22 > 1:29:24And it's recovered by Cam Thomas,
1:29:24 > 1:29:26and it slips out of his hands.
1:29:26 > 1:29:30William Gay, taking off for his second touchdown of the year
1:29:30 > 1:29:31against the Bengals.
1:29:31 > 1:29:35Gay takes it all the way. They don't rule Thomas down.
1:29:35 > 1:29:37They've got all kinds of things to check, here.
1:29:37 > 1:29:41- That's Jarvis Jones, getting around Whitworth...- No question.
1:29:41 > 1:29:42Reaches out and hits it.
1:29:42 > 1:29:45The William Gay return will not stand.
1:29:45 > 1:29:47This was Cam Thomas, making the recovery,
1:29:47 > 1:29:50and he is down, tackled by Boling.
1:29:50 > 1:29:54Pittsburgh would go three-and-out on the ensuing possession.
1:29:54 > 1:29:56But they would come away with points
1:29:56 > 1:29:59on a 34-yard Chris Boswell field goal.
1:29:59 > 1:30:00Pittsburgh got the ball back
1:30:00 > 1:30:02on the failed Cincinnati possession
1:30:02 > 1:30:03with a 9-0 lead.
1:30:05 > 1:30:08From the gun - Roethlisberger.
1:30:08 > 1:30:09Endzone bound...
1:30:09 > 1:30:12And it is a touchdown!
1:30:12 > 1:30:17Martavis Bryant living up to the challenge.
1:30:17 > 1:30:19Yeah, nice route by him.
1:30:19 > 1:30:22Well, look at the catch - as he tried to control it,
1:30:22 > 1:30:27make sure he didn't lose it, this is amazing acrobatic effort.
1:30:27 > 1:30:29- From behind. - I was so busy watching...
1:30:29 > 1:30:31And a flip!
1:30:31 > 1:30:33- Does he keep control?- Yes!
1:30:37 > 1:30:39Packing off the blitz, giving McCarron time.
1:30:39 > 1:30:41Goes underneath.
1:30:41 > 1:30:44And he is smashed - Shazier lays out Bernard
1:30:44 > 1:30:46and Shazier comes up with the football.
1:30:46 > 1:30:50Meanwhile, Bernard has barely moved.
1:30:50 > 1:30:53He launched himself, used the top of his helmet,
1:30:53 > 1:30:55but Bernard has caught the ball, turned,
1:30:55 > 1:30:59so that's why no flag was thrown.
1:30:59 > 1:31:01Uh-oh - Look at midfield, here.
1:31:01 > 1:31:04Jeremy Hill's about to take on four Steelers.
1:31:07 > 1:31:10That had the potential to be a whole lot worse.
1:31:10 > 1:31:12Tomlin showing the challenge flag.
1:31:12 > 1:31:14He might want to say... There it comes.
1:31:14 > 1:31:16He's going to say Bernard made the catch
1:31:16 > 1:31:18but fumbled the football.
1:31:18 > 1:31:21- Definitely comes out. - Came out - and the ball is loose.
1:31:21 > 1:31:23But let's see what happens wit it.
1:31:23 > 1:31:24It is a fumble.
1:31:24 > 1:31:27Pittsburgh football, 1st and 10, 37.
1:31:27 > 1:31:30Adjust the game clock to 1:37, please.
1:31:30 > 1:31:331:37 on the game clock.
1:31:33 > 1:31:36REPORTER: Jim, you talked about the crowd being in a frenzy.
1:31:36 > 1:31:39Well, the Cincinnati Bengals' sideline is in a frenzy,
1:31:39 > 1:31:40specifically Vontaze Burfict.
1:31:40 > 1:31:42He is out of control right now.
1:31:42 > 1:31:45He got in the officials' faces twice so far.
1:31:45 > 1:31:48They have to keep a watch on Vontaze Burfict to make sure
1:31:48 > 1:31:53he doesn't do anything silly and get himself or his team in trouble, Jim.
1:31:53 > 1:31:56You can hardly imagine there won't be some other incident
1:31:56 > 1:31:58before this game is over.
1:31:58 > 1:32:0038 seconds to go, 3rd quarter,
1:32:00 > 1:32:023rd and 18.
1:32:06 > 1:32:08Roethlisberger in trouble.
1:32:08 > 1:32:11Decked at the three by Burfict,
1:32:11 > 1:32:12who has the football,
1:32:12 > 1:32:15but the quarterback is hurt.
1:32:15 > 1:32:19- Roethlisberger... - Fell on his shoulder.
1:32:19 > 1:32:25- Oh, boy.- Yeah. Got pinned, couldn't protect himself.
1:32:25 > 1:32:28Roethlisberger playing safe, he knows he's got to lead,
1:32:28 > 1:32:31and there you see, the weight just falls right on him.
1:32:33 > 1:32:36REPORTER: Ben Roethlisberger has a right shoulder injury.
1:32:36 > 1:32:38His return is questionable.
1:32:38 > 1:32:41He remains in the X-ray room right now.
1:32:41 > 1:32:43As soon as we receive any information,
1:32:43 > 1:32:45I will pass it on to you, Jim.
1:32:45 > 1:32:46Well, here's Hill, the tailback.
1:32:46 > 1:32:50He tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns this year.
1:32:50 > 1:32:52They give it to him...
1:32:52 > 1:32:54And he's in for the touchdown.
1:32:57 > 1:33:00Cincinnati forced Pittsburgh to punt on the ensuing possession
1:33:00 > 1:33:03and McCarron led them on a 13-play drive
1:33:03 > 1:33:07that ended with a 36-yard Mike Nugent field goal.
1:33:07 > 1:33:09That cut the lead to five points.
1:33:11 > 1:33:13When we saw him go directly into the X-ray room,
1:33:13 > 1:33:16he spent about ten minutes inside there,
1:33:16 > 1:33:19and then he was carted out without his pads,
1:33:19 > 1:33:21no sling on whatsoever.
1:33:21 > 1:33:24Well, it's not - he had the helmet on, but Jones is coming out.
1:33:24 > 1:33:28There you go - it's not good enough to come back into this game.
1:33:29 > 1:33:31Here's a 3rd and 4 play.
1:33:31 > 1:33:33Jones...
1:33:33 > 1:33:35Down the field and incomplete.
1:33:36 > 1:33:38No flag.
1:33:41 > 1:33:45Here's a 3rd and 7 and McCarron goes down the field...
1:33:45 > 1:33:49It's caught - and Green's in for the touchdown!
1:33:52 > 1:33:57Just as he had done in both meetings in the regular season,
1:33:57 > 1:33:59Green is in the end zone tonight.
1:33:59 > 1:34:02Go for two, here, try to up the margin to three
1:34:02 > 1:34:04with a minute and 50 to play.
1:34:04 > 1:34:07Four players shift in the formation.
1:34:10 > 1:34:13A little toss over to Hill, the Steelers are all over it,
1:34:13 > 1:34:14and deny him.
1:34:14 > 1:34:16That was dangerous.
1:34:16 > 1:34:19Steelers have all their timeouts.
1:34:19 > 1:34:22Take another attempt at a winning field goal.
1:34:22 > 1:34:26Jones, middle of the field and that is...intercepted!
1:34:26 > 1:34:30And it's Burfict who comes away with the football.
1:34:30 > 1:34:33Vontaze Burfict caused a lot of trouble
1:34:33 > 1:34:36but the sack, the tackles, awesome job.
1:34:36 > 1:34:39This game is not over. The Steelers have all their timeouts.
1:34:41 > 1:34:43Here's Hill.
1:34:43 > 1:34:45Jarvis... Ball is out!
1:34:45 > 1:34:49Shazier had it for a moment and now it's picked up by Cockrell.
1:34:51 > 1:34:53Call a fumble on the play,
1:34:53 > 1:34:55it will automatically be reviewed, of course.
1:34:55 > 1:34:57REFEREE: ..recovered by Pittsburgh,
1:34:57 > 1:34:581st and 10. Pittsburgh.
1:34:59 > 1:35:02Oh, my goodness, what a change of events here.
1:35:02 > 1:35:04After reviewing the play,
1:35:04 > 1:35:07the ruling on the field stands as called. 1st and 10, Pittsburgh.
1:35:07 > 1:35:08And look who's coming at him.
1:35:08 > 1:35:10Looking across the way,
1:35:10 > 1:35:13Ben Roethlisberger trots onto the field.
1:35:13 > 1:35:18Hill, so concerned his miscue could be the difference here,
1:35:18 > 1:35:21praying that his defence can somehow end it right now.
1:35:21 > 1:35:234th and 3.
1:35:26 > 1:35:28Roethlisberger has the 1st down.
1:35:28 > 1:35:30Brown to the 48.
1:35:30 > 1:35:33WHISTLE BLOWS
1:35:33 > 1:35:35They've called a time-out immediately.
1:35:35 > 1:35:3914 yards away from being able to put them in a position
1:35:39 > 1:35:41that would match the season-long by Boswell,
1:35:41 > 1:35:42but you would think they...
1:35:42 > 1:35:46You know, if they'd got 10 yards now, you would have to bring him out
1:35:46 > 1:35:47and see if he could convert it from 55.
1:35:52 > 1:35:55Roethlisberger coming to pop it, middle of the field.
1:35:55 > 1:35:57Incomplete.
1:35:57 > 1:36:00- Oh, a flag does come in! - Went to the head.
1:36:00 > 1:36:04Lewis-Harris is going to be flagged for this
1:36:04 > 1:36:06on the hit, on Antonio Brown,
1:36:06 > 1:36:11and it's going to put the Steelers in field goal range.
1:36:11 > 1:36:15- Personal foul, defence number 55. 15-yard penalty.- How about that?
1:36:15 > 1:36:17Automatic first down.
1:36:17 > 1:36:18Burfict in the in.
1:36:20 > 1:36:22- Out of control.- Out of control.
1:36:22 > 1:36:23It's going to be everything.
1:36:23 > 1:36:26That's going to be suspension, fine...
1:36:26 > 1:36:28It may cost this team the game.
1:36:28 > 1:36:30All right, Brown is on his feet,
1:36:30 > 1:36:33and now there's a little flare-up again.
1:36:33 > 1:36:34An official just got pushed.
1:36:36 > 1:36:39And, now, if this is just a penalty against Cincinnati,
1:36:39 > 1:36:41he's going to make this a chip-shot field goal
1:36:41 > 1:36:42and lose their season over it.
1:36:42 > 1:36:46Personal foul, defence number 24.
1:36:46 > 1:36:4815 yard penalty.
1:36:48 > 1:36:491st down.
1:36:49 > 1:36:52Adam Jones. There have been a couple of times tonight
1:36:52 > 1:36:54you have wanted to use the word disgraceful.
1:36:54 > 1:36:58It's disgraceful, on so many fronts, by everybody.
1:36:58 > 1:37:01I'm going to get back to the fact that this young man right here,
1:37:01 > 1:37:03a first-year kicker,
1:37:03 > 1:37:07has a chance to put the Steelers ahead with 18 seconds to go.
1:37:07 > 1:37:10It's going to likely be a 35-yard attempt.
1:37:11 > 1:37:13Goes for the kick that, in all likelihood,
1:37:13 > 1:37:15would win it if he makes it,
1:37:15 > 1:37:17and the kick is drilled,
1:37:17 > 1:37:20and the Steelers are back ahead at 18-16.
1:37:20 > 1:37:24I mean, this has got to go down as one of the worst defeats
1:37:24 > 1:37:26imposed on yourself,
1:37:26 > 1:37:28with the penalties.
1:37:34 > 1:37:36What a game.
1:37:36 > 1:37:38I mean, that was fantastic.
1:37:38 > 1:37:40Heartbreak for the Cincinnati Bengals.
1:37:40 > 1:37:43Pittsburgh Steelers advancing to play Denver next week.
1:37:43 > 1:37:45This was some great football out here.
1:37:45 > 1:37:47Let's go! Party!
1:37:47 > 1:37:48Yeah!
1:37:48 > 1:37:50Yeah, my guy, man.
1:37:50 > 1:37:52Tell me, that was huge, man. How did it feel?
1:37:52 > 1:37:54Man, it's... You know,
1:37:54 > 1:37:57that's a classic Bengals and Steelers matchup, man.
1:37:57 > 1:38:00You know, Bengals are a great team, they're coached well,
1:38:00 > 1:38:03and they fight hard, they got a great defence, man. It just...
1:38:03 > 1:38:05It comes down to who's going to make less mistakes,
1:38:05 > 1:38:08and it was great. It was great but we've got another.
1:38:08 > 1:38:09We've got a lot of games ahead of us.
1:38:09 > 1:38:12So, give a message for your fans over in the UK, man.
1:38:12 > 1:38:14There are big Pittsburgh Steelers fans...
1:38:14 > 1:38:16Oh, man, I'm sure they were celebrating hard for us.
1:38:16 > 1:38:18Steeler Nation supported us the whole time,
1:38:18 > 1:38:21and we were able to get the victory. We're happy for it.
1:38:21 > 1:38:22Are you ready for next week?
1:38:22 > 1:38:24Definitely, you know, we're going into Denver.
1:38:24 > 1:38:26It's going to be a great matchup.
1:38:26 > 1:38:27We're going to prepare good this week,
1:38:27 > 1:38:31and get ready and get out there and get it done.
1:38:31 > 1:38:34Plenty to discuss after our final action from Wildcard Weekend,
1:38:34 > 1:38:37which features the hottest team in the NFL,
1:38:37 > 1:38:41the Kansas City Chiefs, on a ten-game win streak.
1:38:41 > 1:38:44They visited the Houston Texans, champions of the AFC South,
1:38:44 > 1:38:46in a rematch of their Week 1 encounter,
1:38:46 > 1:38:48which the Chiefs won 27-20.
1:38:55 > 1:38:59The Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time in showing their class.
1:38:59 > 1:39:02And Knile Davis will bring it out from six deep.
1:39:04 > 1:39:07Davis across the 15, Davis is gone!
1:39:07 > 1:39:11Knile Davis starts the playoffs with a bang.
1:39:11 > 1:39:14106 yards, touchdown, Chiefs.
1:39:14 > 1:39:17Ahead by 7 after only 11 seconds,
1:39:17 > 1:39:20the Kansas City defence then put pressure
1:39:20 > 1:39:22on Houston quarterback Brian Hoyer.
1:39:22 > 1:39:23The jump by Ford was legal.
1:39:23 > 1:39:25It was knocked out and free.
1:39:25 > 1:39:27Allen Bailey knocked it out.
1:39:27 > 1:39:29Hoyer is scanning.
1:39:29 > 1:39:32Underneath, he threw a pick in the red zone to Josh Mauga.
1:39:32 > 1:39:35Hoyer was to commit five turnovers,
1:39:35 > 1:39:37including a career-high four interceptions,
1:39:37 > 1:39:41and was loudly booed during the second half.
1:39:41 > 1:39:43Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith
1:39:43 > 1:39:46threw a nine-yard scoring pass to Chris Conley
1:39:46 > 1:39:47in the third quarter,
1:39:47 > 1:39:50and Spencer Ware ran in a five-yard touchdown in the fourth,
1:39:50 > 1:39:53to complete a 30-0 shut out,
1:39:53 > 1:39:55rounding out the Chiefs' first post-season win
1:39:55 > 1:39:59since beating the Oilers in Houston in 1994.
1:39:59 > 1:40:02They have now won 11 straight games.
1:40:04 > 1:40:06You know, last week when you said, "If I was a quarterback
1:40:06 > 1:40:09"I'd just throw interception after interception"?
1:40:09 > 1:40:11I went to Houston this week. I put on a Hoyer shirt.
1:40:11 > 1:40:13- THEY GROAN - Oh, my Texans!
1:40:13 > 1:40:14Sorry, sorry.
1:40:14 > 1:40:16The other thing we said last week
1:40:16 > 1:40:18was how important home-field advantage was
1:40:18 > 1:40:20and all four away sides won this weekend.
1:40:20 > 1:40:22First time on Wildcard Weekend.
1:40:22 > 1:40:24It shows how much Jason Bell knows.
1:40:24 > 1:40:26LAUGHTER
1:40:26 > 1:40:29Let's go back to the Steelers at the Bengals,
1:40:29 > 1:40:32they couldn't wait, in the commentary box,
1:40:32 > 1:40:35to get the word "disgraceful" out to describe the Bengals' behaviour.
1:40:35 > 1:40:37And a couple of players in particular.
1:40:37 > 1:40:38Would you go as far as to say
1:40:38 > 1:40:41that Vontaze Burfict's behaviour was disgraceful?
1:40:41 > 1:40:44- Absolutely not. - You wouldn't say it was disgraceful?
1:40:44 > 1:40:47I wouldn't say it was because, in the context of the game,
1:40:47 > 1:40:50these guys go at each other, this is what they do,
1:40:50 > 1:40:52and some guys have a lot of passion.
1:40:52 > 1:40:55That is disgraceful that, though, isn't it?
1:40:55 > 1:40:57He's...
1:40:57 > 1:41:01It wasn't right. He led with the shoulder, you know...
1:41:01 > 1:41:04I just feel like he should have pulled up.
1:41:04 > 1:41:05He should have pulled up, but...
1:41:05 > 1:41:07I mean, they are playing out there.
1:41:07 > 1:41:09You know, he's not trying to take him out and hurt him,
1:41:09 > 1:41:12but, you know, you can't make it close any more.
1:41:12 > 1:41:13Was he out of control?
1:41:13 > 1:41:15Abso... What are you talking about J-Bell?
1:41:15 > 1:41:17Of course that was disgraceful!
1:41:17 > 1:41:20That was not only disgraceful, it was idiotic. That was one of the...
1:41:20 > 1:41:22You lost your game.
1:41:22 > 1:41:25You lost the game for your team by making stupid plays like that.
1:41:25 > 1:41:27Was he out of control? Of course.
1:41:27 > 1:41:28There's been an emphasis
1:41:28 > 1:41:31on not being able to hit players in the head in the NFL
1:41:31 > 1:41:32and you do something like that,
1:41:32 > 1:41:34along with the play by Pacman Jones?
1:41:34 > 1:41:36Ridiculous!
1:41:36 > 1:41:39Burfict's been banned for three games and fined by the NFL.
1:41:39 > 1:41:40He is going to appeal.
1:41:40 > 1:41:43What you are doing, though, is you're trying to balance it up
1:41:43 > 1:41:45with the Burfict that you know
1:41:45 > 1:41:48and actually with the Burfict that, when you're out in Cincinnati,
1:41:48 > 1:41:49you spent time with.
1:41:49 > 1:41:52He looked out of control earlier with 1:40 to go
1:41:52 > 1:41:54when he did this interception and then ran off down the field
1:41:54 > 1:41:56and could have caused a safety
1:41:56 > 1:41:58depending on whether he had been down and touched or not.
1:41:58 > 1:42:01But talk to me about the Burfict you went out with before the game
1:42:01 > 1:42:03because that's a different individual.
1:42:03 > 1:42:04Oh, man, he's a great guy.
1:42:04 > 1:42:07His team-mates love him, he's passionate about the game,
1:42:07 > 1:42:10he's passionate about protecting his team-mates, you know?
1:42:10 > 1:42:11He's that kind of guy.
1:42:11 > 1:42:14He's the kind of guy you want to build your defence around.
1:42:14 > 1:42:17We have to remember he's still a young guy.
1:42:17 > 1:42:20He's learning about this game and things you cannot do.
1:42:20 > 1:42:22But the guy has the passion and the fire and, yeah,
1:42:22 > 1:42:25he should be suspended and hopefully this will turn a corner for him
1:42:25 > 1:42:28to know that, hey, he's got to tone it down in some way.
1:42:28 > 1:42:30Does he need a leader alongside him?
1:42:30 > 1:42:34Because there are also some rumours of unrest in the locker room
1:42:34 > 1:42:37and that Lewis can't control, particularly the defensive players.
1:42:37 > 1:42:40Jason has been saying that all year about the Cincinnati Bengals.
1:42:40 > 1:42:42Like, this is the type of team they are.
1:42:42 > 1:42:44And he's correct about Vontaze Burfict.
1:42:44 > 1:42:47Players do like him, but there's a reason why this man wasn't drafted.
1:42:47 > 1:42:49It's because he has all the talent in the world,
1:42:49 > 1:42:51but there's something wrong up here,
1:42:51 > 1:42:53like he has a loose screw in his head
1:42:53 > 1:42:55and he goes on making plays like this all the time.
1:42:55 > 1:42:57Kansas City have to go to the New England Patriots.
1:42:57 > 1:43:03They might be without Jeremy Maclin who has got a high ankle sprain.
1:43:03 > 1:43:05Get your ankle on the table because I want you to show me...
1:43:05 > 1:43:06Put your ankle on the table!
1:43:06 > 1:43:08Why you putting me on the spot like this, man!
1:43:08 > 1:43:11I'm not putting you on the spot. You've had make-up on your ankles!
1:43:11 > 1:43:13- Look at that ankle! - I would have worn my glass slipper!
1:43:13 > 1:43:15Where is the high ankle sprain
1:43:15 > 1:43:18- and what is different from a normal ankle sprain?- OK.
1:43:18 > 1:43:21A regular ankle sprain is down here and a high ankle sprain is also
1:43:21 > 1:43:24down here, but what happens is the pain travels all the way up here.
1:43:24 > 1:43:26It feels like you've almost broken your ankle.
1:43:26 > 1:43:29I've had this injury. Really difficult to get over.
1:43:29 > 1:43:31No way is he going to be able to play this week.
1:43:31 > 1:43:33So you think he will definitely be out?
1:43:33 > 1:43:35Yeah, and even if he does play, like Usi said, it's so painful.
1:43:35 > 1:43:37It's hard to cut on that.
1:43:37 > 1:43:39This guy's got to plant and get open in tight spaces.
1:43:39 > 1:43:43- It could be hard. That's an ugly ankle!- Put both up. You're fine!
1:43:43 > 1:43:47Relax! It's like a second home to you now.
1:43:47 > 1:43:50Right, time now for Jason to mark all the twists and turns
1:43:50 > 1:43:52on the coach's carousel.
1:43:54 > 1:43:57In a surprise move, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late last week
1:43:57 > 1:44:00released head coach, Lovie Smith,
1:44:00 > 1:44:02after just eight wins in two seasons.
1:44:03 > 1:44:04Better news for Miami fans.
1:44:04 > 1:44:09Adam Gase, formerly the offensive coordinator with the Chicago Bears,
1:44:09 > 1:44:13signed a five-year deal to be the head coach of the Dolphins.
1:44:13 > 1:44:16Interim boss Dan Campbell has been released
1:44:16 > 1:44:18to look for other opportunities.
1:44:18 > 1:44:21The New York Giants are still interviewing
1:44:21 > 1:44:23after the resignation of Tom Coughlin.
1:44:24 > 1:44:27Philadelphia are still searching to replace Chip Kelly
1:44:27 > 1:44:31who has expressed an interest in replacing Jim Tomsula
1:44:31 > 1:44:34in San Francisco, although the bookies' favourite is now
1:44:34 > 1:44:38Cincinnati offensive coordinator, Hue Jackson.
1:44:38 > 1:44:43That just leaves two teams with the top two picks in April's draft.
1:44:43 > 1:44:47Cleveland are still in the interview process after firing Mike Pettine
1:44:47 > 1:44:52and Tennessee may well stick with interim coach Mike Mularkey.
1:44:53 > 1:44:55When you were in Cincinnati,
1:44:55 > 1:44:59- our cameras caught you talking to Hue Jackson. Here.- Yeah!
1:45:01 > 1:45:04Who is a man that a lot of these teams want.
1:45:04 > 1:45:06So, what's he saying to you here?
1:45:06 > 1:45:09Saying, "Yeah, Jason, I'm going to go to...?"
1:45:09 > 1:45:11He told me I still look like I can play.
1:45:11 > 1:45:13LAUGHTER
1:45:13 > 1:45:15And I said, "Coach, only for you!"
1:45:16 > 1:45:18And he said, "I'm going...?"
1:45:18 > 1:45:21He was going to run around the track a couple of times.
1:45:21 > 1:45:24- He didn't say anything. - Oh, J-Bell!- Rubbish, rubbish!
1:45:24 > 1:45:26Right, let's round up the sights and sounds
1:45:26 > 1:45:29you may have missed from the Wildcard Weekend.
1:45:36 > 1:45:40CHEERING
1:45:40 > 1:45:45Hey, hey, hey! Hey, just for all those fans that showed up.
1:45:45 > 1:45:47How about those...
1:45:47 > 1:45:49ALL: Chiefs!
1:45:49 > 1:45:51We're going to break it down, man.
1:45:51 > 1:45:54We are on that mission. We ain't stopping. We ain't stopping.
1:45:54 > 1:45:56- We ain't stopping. - On one. One.
1:45:56 > 1:45:58THEY CHANT
1:45:58 > 1:46:01Great job. OK, great job! Enjoy it. All right?
1:46:01 > 1:46:04We're up in Arizona Saturday night.
1:46:04 > 1:46:08APPLAUSE
1:46:08 > 1:46:11Right, nice job all three phases. That's playoff victory number one.
1:46:11 > 1:46:15We've earned the right to go get playoff victory number two.
1:46:20 > 1:46:22So, we're down to just eight teams
1:46:22 > 1:46:24in the race to Super Bowl 50.
1:46:24 > 1:46:28In the AFC, Denver and New England are back in the fray this weekend
1:46:28 > 1:46:32as top seed, Denver, must play the lowest remaining seed,
1:46:32 > 1:46:34so next week they'll host the sixth seed,
1:46:34 > 1:46:37Pittsburgh Steelers, in a rematch of their Week 15 encounter.
1:46:37 > 1:46:39Can the Steelers win again?
1:46:39 > 1:46:41That also means the Kansas City Chiefs
1:46:41 > 1:46:43will be travelling to New England.
1:46:43 > 1:46:45Over in the NFC, Carolina, as top seed,
1:46:45 > 1:46:48will host the sixth seeded Seattle Seahawks,
1:46:48 > 1:46:50who ran them close in Week 6.
1:46:50 > 1:46:54Green Bay will be eager to avoid a repeat of their Week 16 debacle
1:46:54 > 1:46:57as they travel to the Arizona desert.
1:46:59 > 1:47:01Just a bit of social media to finish
1:47:01 > 1:47:05starting with the NFL rookie question which comes from Batman.
1:47:05 > 1:47:06"Still don't understand,
1:47:06 > 1:47:09"what needs to be in the endzone to get a touchdown?
1:47:09 > 1:47:12"Is it both feet, just the ball, corner pylon, or what?"
1:47:12 > 1:47:15- It is just the ball. - The ball needs to break.
1:47:15 > 1:47:18- As long as it breaks the line.- Yes, as long as it breaks the goal line.
1:47:18 > 1:47:21OK. I like some of the photos that have been sent in
1:47:21 > 1:47:24on the NFL UK Twitter feed.
1:47:24 > 1:47:28There's a picture of the security staff at the Viking-Seahawks game.
1:47:28 > 1:47:33It was that cold. I think that's a snood hat. And balaclava.
1:47:33 > 1:47:37Harry Kane sent this picture as well of two of his dogs,
1:47:37 > 1:47:41one in a Brady shirt and one in a Russell Wilson shirt.
1:47:41 > 1:47:43Is that a compliment for your, you know,
1:47:43 > 1:47:45dogs to dress up in somebody's...?
1:47:45 > 1:47:48Yes, it's a huge compliment in this country.
1:47:48 > 1:47:51Right, Wildcard Weekend is done, the divisional playoffs leave
1:47:51 > 1:47:54Nat and Mike in their regular Sunday night slot on 5 Live
1:47:54 > 1:47:58Sports Night Extra, 7:30. They'll have the end of Seahawks-Panthers
1:47:58 > 1:48:00and then Steelers against the Broncos.
1:48:00 > 1:48:03We'll see you next week. Bye.
1:48:03 > 1:48:06Four teams came through the wildness of the Wildcard round.
1:48:07 > 1:48:10Among the four that sank, the Bengals, lanced.
1:48:10 > 1:48:13The horns of the Vikings, blunted.
1:48:13 > 1:48:17What thrills, what spills, what meltdowns in the ice!
1:48:17 > 1:48:21What cool was lost in the fury of the moment!
1:48:21 > 1:48:24All for the right to play the four that did stay calm,
1:48:24 > 1:48:26safely detached,
1:48:26 > 1:48:28now limbering up for re-entry.
1:48:28 > 1:48:33Patriots, Cardinals, Panthers, Broncos.
1:48:33 > 1:48:37On we go, deeper into the extremes.
1:48:37 > 1:48:41New England, Arizona, Carolina and Denver.
1:48:41 > 1:48:43Who will be scorched by ice?
1:48:43 > 1:48:46Frozen in rage? Gasping for air on high?
1:48:46 > 1:48:51There is no middle-of-the-road in the race to Super Bowl 50.
