:00:45. > :00:51.Good evening. Welcome to highlight from the NFL International Series.
:00:52. > :00:58.We will show the best of the action from Wembley as the Detroit Lions
:00:59. > :01:01.took on the Kansas City Chiefs in the third and final game played in
:01:02. > :01:08.London this season. Judging from the first two, this has a lot to live up
:01:09. > :01:25.to. Are you already do this? Are you ready, fellas. Touchdown. Ivory is
:01:26. > :01:33.punishing the Dolphins defense. Touchdown Kenny Stills. Stepping in
:01:34. > :01:47.front, Marcus Williams for the pic. No jet lag in New London. We are
:01:48. > :01:57.overseas, we went to get it done. It is a big six. If you are Buffalo,
:01:58. > :02:07.you have to be shell-shocked. Going deep, it is a touchdown. Buffalo
:02:08. > :02:13.have come back to score 28 points. We will find out a lot about Greg
:02:14. > :02:22.Williams. It is a touchdown. Game-winning touchdown pass. The
:02:23. > :02:34.future is bright and Jacksonville. Joining me to dissect the action, a
:02:35. > :02:39.two-time Super Bowl winner, and Mike Carlson. Both these teams looking to
:02:40. > :02:45.bounce back from disappointing start to the season. The Chiefs officially
:02:46. > :02:52.the home team, hoping to recapture the form that took them to the
:02:53. > :02:58.playoff two years ago. They have had a 2-5 start. Even worse in the
:02:59. > :03:03.trade. Having made the playoffs last season, the Lions winning only one
:03:04. > :03:08.game this year. Finding themselves at the bottom of the NFC North. The
:03:09. > :03:14.NFL likely put on a show, to date no different. British music legends
:03:15. > :03:24.Madness providing the pre-game entertainment. After it was a House
:03:25. > :03:32.of Fun, down to the game. COMMENTATOR: The Chiefs winning the
:03:33. > :03:43.toss, and choosing to differ. The ball bouncing, touchback in the
:03:44. > :03:47.Lions will start. -- and the lines. Matthew Stafford leading the team on
:03:48. > :03:52.the field. 85th start at the quarterback for the Detroit Lions, a
:03:53. > :03:57.franchise record. Certainly he is the key focal point of the coaching
:03:58. > :04:04.change, the assistant coaching change. The coordinator taking over.
:04:05. > :04:09.Jim Caldwell's first comment on the coaching change, said the guy with
:04:10. > :04:15.the ball in his hands, the quarterback, as to become double.
:04:16. > :04:20.This was done to make Matthew Stafford feel better. Calvin Johnson
:04:21. > :04:25.makes the catch, steps out of bounds, across the 30. Some kind of
:04:26. > :04:30.week for the Lions. The shake-up, travelled to London. What do you
:04:31. > :04:34.make a border this as far as the players are concerned? It is they
:04:35. > :04:40.lucky taking in a week. He knows that as well. He understands the
:04:41. > :04:45.cannot make wholesale changes. More emphasis on certain things he feels
:04:46. > :04:53.they do the best. Powell is the running back. He carries. Breaking
:04:54. > :05:04.three, a big game. Shoved out of bounds. Mere the 35, make it the 37.
:05:05. > :05:08.Gain of 32. One of the things they talked about, they have to be a
:05:09. > :05:14.better team running the football. You see that run from Bell, he has
:05:15. > :05:19.not been healthy of late, they get the run game going. The Lions drove
:05:20. > :05:32.24 yards up the field, on second and sixth at the 13-yard line. Stafford,
:05:33. > :05:40.down he goes. Second sack, but lying to Ron Parker, the safety. You have
:05:41. > :05:46.to get rid of the football. Matthew Stafford lurk collect, you have to
:05:47. > :05:52.get rid of it, if it is not there. Otherwise you will get sacked. With
:05:53. > :05:57.the empty set, something they are in for sizing, you have to get rid of
:05:58. > :06:10.the football quickly. The ball back to the 17, third in ten for the
:06:11. > :06:20.lines. -- 3rd 10 for the Lions. Riddick broke down the line of
:06:21. > :06:25.scrimmage, no gain. -- brought down. Nice jobs from the Chiefs the fence.
:06:26. > :06:33.Getting people to the line of scrimmage, to the ball. Houston
:06:34. > :06:50.making the tackle. 35 yard field goal, Matt Prater, the kicker. The
:06:51. > :06:55.kit is right through. -- kick. The Lions take the opening kick-off,
:06:56. > :06:59.three points on the board. Matthew Stafford leading the way down the
:07:00. > :07:06.field, the Lions get three. Beautiful day in London. The Lions
:07:07. > :07:15.getting on the board first. A packed house in Wembley. A lot of excited
:07:16. > :07:21.fans, a lot of fans of the Chiefs. If you give them free beer, they
:07:22. > :07:28.will become Chief stands. That is what they did this week. Getting
:07:29. > :07:42.away from a couple. Outstanding return this Knile Davis. The Chiefs
:07:43. > :07:51.setting up good field position. Knile Davis them gets to the crease,
:07:52. > :07:59.and breaks it. 49 yard return. We rejoin the action with the Chiefs
:08:00. > :08:08.at the Lions 32-yard line. Travis Kelce, another 1st down. The big
:08:09. > :08:13.tight end. Johnson was on him, but no match. He crosses the field,
:08:14. > :08:21.trying the linebacker early, putting a cornerback on him. A little
:08:22. > :08:31.traffic. Travis Kelce outruns Wilson. This guy has big-time
:08:32. > :08:38.talent. They realise they have to feed him. Anthony Thomas in a wide
:08:39. > :08:47.receiver. He is in motion. And off to West. Insider 20. To the 18-yard
:08:48. > :08:52.line. The Chiefs have been a team getting into the red zone OK, once
:08:53. > :08:59.they get in there, cannot seem to get in the end zone. They have the
:09:00. > :09:06.weapons, Jeremy Maclin, Travis Kelce. I think you have to be
:09:07. > :09:09.aggressive, take some shots in the end zone, as opposed to the small
:09:10. > :09:15.ball they have been playing so far this season in the red zone. Anthony
:09:16. > :09:21.Sherman in at fullback. Smith, feels pressure, takes off with a lot of
:09:22. > :09:29.room. Slides are the 10-yard line. 1st down for the Chiefs. Remember,
:09:30. > :09:35.Alex Smith is a guy that played in the zone read offense at Utah. He
:09:36. > :09:39.has the ability, all that green grass, he says he will take that. He
:09:40. > :09:46.gets the line to gain, before taking the slide. The ball is right on the
:09:47. > :09:54.10-yard line. First and goal for the Chiefs.
:09:55. > :10:06.De'Anthony Thomas in motion, going the other way. A couple of blockers.
:10:07. > :10:11.It is a touchdown. We sell them in practice, Friday, working on that
:10:12. > :10:18.later. Perfectly timed. De'Anthony Thomas takes it in. The Chiefs
:10:19. > :10:22.grabbed the lead. We talked about it, De'Anthony Thomas has so much
:10:23. > :10:27.speed, get him the ball as much as you can, as fast as he can. They
:10:28. > :10:33.want him with the ball in space. Brian Parker, beautiful block on
:10:34. > :10:41.Lewis. Thomas just jogging into the end zone. Tremendous execution. The
:10:42. > :10:46.two blockers in front. Really well executed by the Chiefs. Second
:10:47. > :10:56.career rushing touchdown for De'Anthony Thomas. Extra point for
:10:57. > :11:01.Cairo Santos. It is good. The Chiefs start off with a great kick-off
:11:02. > :11:08.return, 49 yards. Finish it off with a ten yard touchdown run by
:11:09. > :11:14.De'Anthony Thomas. This is really a cool play. They are having fun
:11:15. > :11:21.utilising it. The blocks by the two tight ends. There are your two
:11:22. > :11:28.blockers. Easy job into the end zone for De'Anthony Thomas.
:11:29. > :11:35.Both sides were forced to punt, Time running out in the first you order
:11:36. > :11:42.-- first quarter, the ball is in the lines.
:11:43. > :11:59.Three on the play. We will give them four on the play. As the Lions up
:12:00. > :12:06.the tempo. Very wide receivers in. Stafford gets time, the pass off the
:12:07. > :12:13.hands of Eric Ebron. Looked like a catchable ball. Very much so. Looks
:12:14. > :12:18.like struggled to pick the footballer for whatever reason. You
:12:19. > :12:24.can see the emphasis on getting your star players, not as much shifting
:12:25. > :12:28.of the personnel moves. They have been trying to highlight the stars.
:12:29. > :12:35.Struggling to keep these drives going after the first initial drive.
:12:36. > :12:43.Theo Riddick in the backfield. On 3rd 6.
:12:44. > :12:57.The blitz is coming. They get him. Two men blitzing on the play.
:12:58. > :13:02.Derrick Johnson gets there. You see Derrick Johnson, a delayed blitz.
:13:03. > :13:09.They bring more than they can protect. Matthew Stafford has the
:13:10. > :13:16.get rid of the football. He doesn't. The timewise down, the end of the
:13:17. > :13:21.first quarter. That smack of the time winding down.
:13:22. > :13:33.We rejoin the action on the Chiefs' next drive. Alex Smith taking. A lot
:13:34. > :13:41.of running room. He keeps going. Down the sideline, what are run by
:13:42. > :13:46.Alex Smith was out of bounds at the 24-yard line. I'd tell you what,
:13:47. > :13:52.great mobility by Alex Smith. This is poor defense. A huge void. They
:13:53. > :13:57.should not be that kind of boy, you should never get out run by
:13:58. > :14:02.quarterback like the Lions' defense did. They are strong up front. The
:14:03. > :14:10.backfield have been struggling mightily, we're seeing that on the
:14:11. > :14:16.field. Alex Smith put it up this time, little too low for Travis
:14:17. > :14:23.Kelce, the tight end. Sam, you have to wonder, offensive Lee, Joe
:14:24. > :14:28.Lombardi, very nice man, but tough for Jim Caldwell to fire him. The
:14:29. > :14:35.production was not there, when you look at the talent on the offense,
:14:36. > :14:44.it should be there. The Lions offense, I then see a whole lot of
:14:45. > :14:51.talent on the defense. -- I don't see a whole lot of talent. West,
:14:52. > :15:05.stopped short of the line of scrimmage. At the 25-yard line.
:15:06. > :15:07.Jumping across, for the Lions. Jason Jones, Steven Taylor, the defensive
:15:08. > :15:23.ends, firing across. Encroachment, defense number 91.
:15:24. > :15:30.Still further down. -- still 3rd down. Everybody up, the receivers,
:15:31. > :15:39.that is. Charcandrick West inside the 15, he's got enough for the 1st
:15:40. > :15:45.down. He was chased down but not before he picked it up enough for
:15:46. > :15:55.the 1st down. A gains of eight. If a loss to ask of video. Last week he
:15:56. > :15:59.chased down Adrian Peterson. As doing Ansah to cover Charcandrick
:16:00. > :16:08.West in space is a lot to ask of a defensive end. Two tight ends in,
:16:09. > :16:23.Demetrius Harris to the left. Travis Kelce is right. Off the hands of
:16:24. > :16:29.Harris, incomplete. Covered on the play by the safety. Demetrius Harris
:16:30. > :16:35.is a guy who they really like in Kansas City, they use a lot of tight
:16:36. > :16:40.ends that. We are seeing Brian Parker with a tremendous block on
:16:41. > :16:57.the Anthony Thomas's touchdown earlier. -- De'Anthony Thomas's
:16:58. > :17:04.touchdown. 2nd 10. West motions. Smith gets time. Too high for
:17:05. > :17:09.Charcandrick West, he had Travis Kelce wide open in the end zone and
:17:10. > :17:16.didn't I think that the one thing you would like to see if you are
:17:17. > :17:22.going to comment and constructively criticise this Chiefs offense, down
:17:23. > :17:30.in this red zone, Alex myth. -- Alex Smith. Because they have the weapons
:17:31. > :17:40.to do it in Kelce, the guy you mentioned, he was opened in the end
:17:41. > :17:44.zone. 3rd 10. Two tight ends, two wide receivers in the game. Takes
:17:45. > :18:04.off again. Ten, five, touchdown! Chiefs run it in again. Alex Smith
:18:05. > :18:11.is beating the Lions with his legs, with his mobility, you should not
:18:12. > :18:15.see... Watch Alex met, they get all the receivers out, everybody in
:18:16. > :18:18.coverage, Alex myth says man-to-man coverage, I see all of that green
:18:19. > :18:26.grass, I'm going to take off and run. -- Alex Smith. He sees nothing
:18:27. > :18:30.but green, he thinks, why not? It worked earlier, let's make it work
:18:31. > :18:34.again. If somebody normally designated to watch the quarterback
:18:35. > :18:44.John? Somebody usually is, apparently now they don't have that.
:18:45. > :18:46.The Chiefs take advantage of some room, Alex Smith takes off on a 12
:18:47. > :18:57.yard run and the Chiefs lead 14-3. STUDIO: The poor start for the Lions
:18:58. > :19:01.continues, things got worse when Sean Smith picked off Matthew
:19:02. > :19:05.Stafford on their next drive. COMMENTATOR: Sean Smith with an
:19:06. > :19:11.alert play. The cheese had to settle for a field
:19:12. > :19:19.goal to stretch their lead to 14 points. -- the Chiefs.
:19:20. > :19:34.From 44, Stafford, gets protection, the pass is intercepted. Justin
:19:35. > :19:41.Houston with the second interception of the game. Houston was there to
:19:42. > :19:55.make the catch on the interception, the Chiefs take over. Chiefs from
:19:56. > :19:59.their own 48-yard line. Smith with time put it up, it's off the hands
:20:00. > :20:07.of Jeremy Maclin. He was covered by Darius Slay. Stafford wants Calvin
:20:08. > :20:11.Johnson to his left, he decides better, now you have to check it
:20:12. > :20:15.down through it away, instead he goes over the middle. Ron Parker
:20:16. > :20:21.tremendous break on the football. Houston does it all to sack the
:20:22. > :20:24.quarterback. Two interceptions in the game, 11 for the season, the
:20:25. > :20:35.most of any quarterback in the league. 2nd 10 for Justin Houston,
:20:36. > :20:44.his second career interception. Knile Davis is in a running back.
:20:45. > :20:48.Picks up a couple of blocks, nice moves by De'Anthony Thomas. Down the
:20:49. > :20:54.29-yard line. Jeff Allen with a big block. Jeff Allen with the big
:20:55. > :21:00.block, watched Jeremy Maclin, their top receiver. Selfless, blocking
:21:01. > :21:06.Josh Wilson, it creates this. See that burst from De'Anthony Thomas,
:21:07. > :21:11.we saw it in college. Is he a running back, slot, receiver? They
:21:12. > :21:16.decided he's all of them, that's how we're going to utilise him. We've
:21:17. > :21:25.seen them through which to him in space. 23 yard gains on that last
:21:26. > :21:32.play. Stephen Tulloch is in on the stock. On the 27-yard line. Once
:21:33. > :21:39.again, the Chiefs threatening the score. They move the ball well
:21:40. > :21:50.offensively with 170 total yards will stop -- 170 total yards. Josh
:21:51. > :21:55.Wilson is back for the Detroit Lions, so that's a positive sign.
:21:56. > :22:07.Smith quick outside, Albert Wilson wrestled down by Nevin Lawson. Short
:22:08. > :22:11.picked up down the 21-yard line. To bring up a third and short for the
:22:12. > :22:17.Chiefs. Something that stands out to me, Eric Fisher is a guy, 2013 was
:22:18. > :22:21.the number one pick in the draft from he's taken a lot of heat for
:22:22. > :22:24.his poor playing career. In the last couple of games he's starting to
:22:25. > :22:29.become the player they thought he would be when they drafted him.
:22:30. > :22:35.Playing really well, athletic, he's got Ansah quiet here today, it's
:22:36. > :22:41.very tough. Ezequiel Ansah is one of the better defensive ends in
:22:42. > :22:46.football. 1st down... Inside the tent. Paul's down. -- inside the
:22:47. > :23:01.tent. ! -- ten. He's going to get out front
:23:02. > :23:10.and make the key block on Josh Wilson, it frees Charcandrick West.
:23:11. > :23:17.They are one step of the Detroit Lions will stop gained 13 on a 3rd
:23:18. > :23:23.down play, 1st goal at the eight. West is the running back. Jason
:23:24. > :23:36.Dovanne is motions. -- Jason some really good execution on behalf
:23:37. > :23:42.of the Kansas City Chiefs, some poor defense on the Detroit Lions. As in
:23:43. > :23:49.tackles, not where they are supposed to be, some bad defense being played
:23:50. > :23:58.by these Detroit Lions. The Chiefs opening up the big lead. The extra
:23:59. > :24:03.point by Cairo Santos is good. The Chiefs have three rushing touchdowns
:24:04. > :24:11.in the game. Charcandrick West taking it into the end zone. It is
:24:12. > :24:17.24-3. A commanding lead for the Chiefs, we rejoined the action.
:24:18. > :24:22.First and ten Detroit, just inside the Chiefs half. COMMENTATOR:
:24:23. > :24:28.Stafford being blitzed. In trouble. Parker's second is that of the game.
:24:29. > :24:31.This is what you've seen with the Detroit Lions, when they get
:24:32. > :24:36.blitzed, they are not picking it up, you have to adjust your site, see
:24:37. > :24:43.the pressure of top. Here comes Derrick Johnson. Here is why in
:24:44. > :24:46.Parker. Matthew Stafford, you don't have enough blockers to pick it up.
:24:47. > :24:54.You have to get rid of the football. Matthew Stafford holds it.
:24:55. > :25:08.The Chiefs have used the time-out. Hoping to preserve some time and
:25:09. > :25:10.maybe get the ball back. Lost to the 48-yard line. The Lions have to get
:25:11. > :25:25.to 33 for 1st down. Stafford in trouble, down he goes, a
:25:26. > :25:35.flag on the play. This time it was Ali breaking off the block. -- it
:25:36. > :25:39.was Hali. Working against Riley Reiff. We talked about it last week
:25:40. > :25:45.he came alive. He's relentless in his pressure. Boy, does it make a
:25:46. > :25:52.better defense. Justin Houston on one end, when he starts winning
:25:53. > :26:02.every time, this is a difference defense. Riley Reiff called on the
:26:03. > :26:08.hold, the Chiefs accept the penalty to push the Lions back further, back
:26:09. > :26:15.to the Detroit 42-yard line. The series started at the Chiefs 43.
:26:16. > :26:24.Theo Riddick in the backfield, still 2nd down for the Lions.
:26:25. > :26:40.Stafford steps up. In trouble again. Down he goes again. The Chiefs are
:26:41. > :26:43.all over him. Matthew Stafford is leading the league in interception.
:26:44. > :26:48.Matthew Stafford's sacks are not near the top of the league. He's
:26:49. > :26:54.been hit as much as any quarterback in the league. You've got pressure
:26:55. > :26:59.from the outside, Matthew Stafford holding the football too long. He's
:27:00. > :27:08.been affected greatly by all the hits, the accumulation of hits is
:27:09. > :27:13.taken through the year. Sometimes it is the players. People protecting
:27:14. > :27:23.him, giving this guy who can't throw the foot or well time to do it. --
:27:24. > :27:30.can't throw the football well. Theo Riddick, 3rd down, they have to get
:27:31. > :27:37.to the Chiefs 33 for 1st down. Third and 27. Everybody out, the pass off
:27:38. > :27:44.the hands of Calvin Johnson, even the reliable Calvin Johnson unable
:27:45. > :27:54.to hang on. Things continue to go badly for the Lions. Calvin Johnson
:27:55. > :27:58.third and 27, even he could not have converted that. It was the last
:27:59. > :28:05.meaningful action of the half, Kansas City in charge, leading 24-3.
:28:06. > :28:08.The Lions have defined their game, can they make the adjustments? Let's
:28:09. > :28:16.see what adjustments they make when they get the ball. De'Anthony Thomas
:28:17. > :28:20.on the return. One man gets across the 20, down to the 24.
:28:21. > :28:25.We return to the action with the cheats on third antics on the Lions
:28:26. > :28:37.35-yard line. Keep the play alive. Uses his legs,
:28:38. > :28:45.again gets 1st down. Leading rusher in the game is Alex Smith. Just an
:28:46. > :28:50.outstanding job I Alex Smith, he was under a lot of duress he played
:28:51. > :28:56.Houdini here, you see the rush coming. Ezequiel Ansah getting
:28:57. > :29:03.double teams. Alex Smith finding his way out, Charcandrick West with a
:29:04. > :29:09.tremendous block to allow Smith to get that 1st down. Staying in front
:29:10. > :29:15.of Whitehead. Nine yard run, Alex Smith, five calories, 77 yard this
:29:16. > :29:24.is Charcandrick West. Down to 32-yard line. The Chiefs have run
:29:25. > :29:26.the ball effectively in this game. They've run it very effectively,
:29:27. > :29:32.they've been excellent on 3rd down, now seven of nine, almost 80% on 3rd
:29:33. > :29:34.down, it's what happens when you put yourself in an advantageous
:29:35. > :29:52.third-down situation. 2nd 6. West with 13 carries, 57 yards.
:29:53. > :29:57.Knile Davis at running back. Smith, diving catch. It is a catch by
:29:58. > :30:07.Jeremy Maclin, a great grab. There is no butter on these hands of
:30:08. > :30:12.Jeremy Maclin. See the play action, the effect of it. Maclin works
:30:13. > :30:18.behind. A tremendous catch with his hands, great concentration by Jeremy
:30:19. > :30:22.Maclin. At his fingertips, brings it in with strong hands. How about
:30:23. > :30:31.getting that left hand under the ball so it doesn't hit the ground?
:30:32. > :30:42.West, 1 yard on the play. The Chiefs playing ball control to start the
:30:43. > :30:50.second half. Taking time off the clock. They have a big lead. The
:30:51. > :30:57.Lions have to find a way to change an amendment the game. About four
:30:58. > :31:02.weeks ago we have the Chiefs against the Chicago Bears, this offensive
:31:03. > :31:08.line was much maligned, they were playing football that was not good.
:31:09. > :31:16.This is a very much changed line. The past to Travis Kelce. Inside the
:31:17. > :31:21.five, down to the one line. That is toughness personified. Alex Smith
:31:22. > :31:29.staring down the gun barrel, knowing he will get it, standing there,
:31:30. > :31:34.delivering a strike. That is cool sticking your face in the fan,
:31:35. > :31:41.giving yourself up for the team. Absolutely perfect ball, tremendous
:31:42. > :31:45.football by Alex Smith. At the two yard line. The fifth trip to the red
:31:46. > :31:55.zone for the Chiefs. Outside the Travis Kelce. Looking for the
:31:56. > :32:04.opening. Touchdown. First passing touchdown of the game for the
:32:05. > :32:11.Chiefs. Smith to Travis Kelce. The Chiefs take the second-half
:32:12. > :32:17.kick-off, marching down the field. Andy Reid continuing to be creative.
:32:18. > :32:22.Travis Kelce in the corner, you are thinking run if you are the rich
:32:23. > :32:27.redlines defense. He steps back, blockers in front, great execution.
:32:28. > :32:34.Man on man, Travis Kelce running through one guy, going through
:32:35. > :32:39.Tulloch. This is an old-fashioned whipping they are putting on the
:32:40. > :32:43.Detroit Lions. They have been in the red zone five times, coming away
:32:44. > :32:50.with four touchdowns, one field goal. 11 play, 61 Yard Drive to
:32:51. > :32:59.start the second half for the Chiefs. Andy Reid wanted more
:33:00. > :33:06.toughness from his team, he saw it last week, we are seeing it from the
:33:07. > :33:14.quarterback, Travis Kelce, toughness leading the Chiefs to a great
:33:15. > :33:24.bondage. Following a punter piece, the ball is on the Lions' 10-yard
:33:25. > :33:31.line. Stafford. Up for Calvin Johnson. The catch is made. Along
:33:32. > :33:39.the sideline, at the 24-yard line. Marcus Peters says no. Let's take a
:33:40. > :33:49.look. Marcus Peters is right. Let's see. Calvin Johnson bobbles the
:33:50. > :33:59.ball. I don't think he is inbounds. The left knee out of bounds before
:34:00. > :34:04.he has control. No, I think they are going to play.
:34:05. > :34:16.No challenge. The Lions. Stafford hits Calvin Johnson on the left
:34:17. > :34:24.side. Another 1st down on 37-yard line. Calvin Johnson working against
:34:25. > :34:30.Sean Smith. I have to tell you, the weather is the offensive
:34:31. > :34:34.coordinator, if I am, I'm finding number 81, finding creative ways to
:34:35. > :34:40.get to him. Roger is short passes, but down the field. Nobody does it
:34:41. > :34:44.better than Calvin Johnson. They just haven't been able to get them
:34:45. > :34:53.down the field. Yards per catch is down this year. That one intended
:34:54. > :35:01.for Golden Tate. For the Lions, Matthew Stafford, a tough day. Not
:35:02. > :35:09.passing through a lot of yards. Two interceptions. They have been turned
:35:10. > :35:13.into ten points for the Chiefs. Bell had one big run, the first
:35:14. > :35:20.possession of the game. Theo Riddick, in the backfield. With
:35:21. > :35:33.Matthew Stafford. The Chiefs are showing blitz. The break outside
:35:34. > :35:40.completed Lance Moore. Is first catch of the game at the 33-yard
:35:41. > :35:45.line. Seven carries, above seven yards per carry. When you are
:35:46. > :35:52.behind, hard to consistently run the ball. They talk about wanting to run
:35:53. > :35:54.it. When you are behind, that is why they have thrown it 75% of the time
:35:55. > :36:13.this year. Stafford gets time, hitting Golden
:36:14. > :36:23.Tate for a 1st down. Good throw, good catch. This is what you see
:36:24. > :36:31.from Matthew Stafford, natural, big-time thrower of a football. That
:36:32. > :36:38.is why they say they are wanting him comfortable. If the quarterback
:36:39. > :36:43.likes a play, he tends to make it work. Trying to find things Matthew
:36:44. > :36:49.Stafford likes, protecting him to use that great arm. In travel, down
:36:50. > :36:59.he goes. Justin is used in getting right around the block. Getting
:37:00. > :37:06.around Waddle. This is why he does not get single much, there is not
:37:07. > :37:11.much of a chance for Waddle. Good job, but just in Houston had over 20
:37:12. > :37:20.sacks last year, this year so much intention. A really fine player.
:37:21. > :37:25.Tough, back-to-back weeks for Matthew Stafford. Seven sacks last
:37:26. > :37:35.week, five today. Finds Theo Riddick. Getting inside the 40.
:37:36. > :37:41.39-yard line. Parker with the stop. Riddick doesn't excellent job as a
:37:42. > :37:45.pass receiving running back. We have reached the end of the third
:37:46. > :37:52.quarter, the game still belonging to the Kansas City Chiefs, leading
:37:53. > :38:05.31-3. Right now, as we start the fourth quarter, the Lions on the
:38:06. > :38:06.move, third in line. -- 3rd 9. A special day, the International
:38:07. > :38:21.Series. The blitz was on. Stafford got rid
:38:22. > :38:38.of it in a hurry. Abdullah, with the safety blitz. 4th down. Stafford,
:38:39. > :38:48.they got him. Sack number six. Justin Houston, and Ali. More great
:38:49. > :38:56.work from the defense, the offense could not take advantage, having to
:38:57. > :39:05.punt. Detroit deep in their own half, let's rejoin the action.
:39:06. > :39:13.Lance Moore taken down by Teflon branch. You talk about the problems,
:39:14. > :39:19.what about the chance they have with the new offensive line coach, how
:39:20. > :39:24.will he make things better for them? Tough to do it mid-season. He is a
:39:25. > :39:30.no-nonsense, we saw it in practice, believe me, no-nonsense. Getting
:39:31. > :39:36.into their faces. Trying to simplify the protection. Make it much easier,
:39:37. > :39:41.it may not be perfect, but everyone doing the same thing. As not work
:39:42. > :39:47.today. De'Anthony Thomas gets away, picks up a couple of blocks. Broke
:39:48. > :39:50.down inside a 20-yard line. It looked like he was going down, just
:39:51. > :40:01.after catching the short punt from Sam Martin. Great return, down to
:40:02. > :40:07.the 13-yard line. 37 yard punts, 37 yard return. De'Anthony Thomas
:40:08. > :40:13.catches the punt, his own man coming into his lap. He sees the outside,
:40:14. > :40:21.turning on the Jet. He has a electric speed and quickness, we saw
:40:22. > :40:25.it at the University the Oregon -- University of Oregon, we're starting
:40:26. > :40:30.to see it for the Chiefs. They spot the ball at the 16-yard line. Once
:40:31. > :40:36.again, everything going right for the Chiefs. All three phases, they
:40:37. > :40:44.are dominating. Sherman, in that fullback. West, bouncing outside.
:40:45. > :40:51.The Lions stretch it out, to take him outside and out. Stephen Tulloch
:40:52. > :41:00.with the tackle. Kansas City Chiefs will have a bye week, in the second
:41:01. > :41:05.half of the season, playing only one team with a winning record, the
:41:06. > :41:09.Denver Broncos. They have them right after that by week. At Denver.
:41:10. > :41:16.Denver plane the Green Bay Packers tonight. That will be a showdown.
:41:17. > :41:19.The Chiefs sense, you cannot control Denver, but they can control
:41:20. > :41:29.themselves, keeping the heat on them. All receivers out. Alex Smith
:41:30. > :41:37.rushing for the end zone. Touchdown. Jeremy Maclin. He makes the ground.
:41:38. > :41:50.-- grab. The Chiefs are machine-like in this
:41:51. > :41:54.game. Nothing small ball about this. This is swinging from the fences.
:41:55. > :42:06.Alex Smith seeing a matchup he likes. Jeremy Maclin, on the inside
:42:07. > :42:11.linebacker. That is just a dart by Alex Smith, who has played nearly
:42:12. > :42:17.flawless game today. Second touchdown pass trained by Alex
:42:18. > :42:24.Smith. Smiles all around. Jeremy Maclin making his return after being
:42:25. > :42:30.inactive last week. Extra point by Cairo Santos, is good. They are
:42:31. > :42:32.having a wonderful trip to London. Jeremy Maclin with the catch, and
:42:33. > :42:52.the touchdown. Abdullah, on the return. Tries to
:42:53. > :43:03.get outside, pulled out of bounds at the 22.
:43:04. > :43:13.Stafford puts it deeper Calvin Johnson. Great catch. Calvin Johnson
:43:14. > :43:17.against Sean Smith. I hate to say it, that is the second time in the
:43:18. > :43:22.entire game they have gone downfield to this guy. They cannot be your
:43:23. > :43:28.entire offense, but a pretty good option to have. Just throw it up to
:43:29. > :43:33.81, good things happen when you do that. They need more of that in the
:43:34. > :43:41.offense. Longest pass play in the game. Johnson with five catches, 81
:43:42. > :43:49.yards. That goes to Eric Eve run, at the 35. Derrick Johnson covering up
:43:50. > :43:53.the blade. Seam quick passes, the Lions with no vital, on the move.
:43:54. > :43:57.Calvin Johnson testing his leg on the sideline. His ankle. Don't want
:43:58. > :44:12.to see that. Stafford. Going outside, a bit too
:44:13. > :44:17.far. Corey Fuller. The start of this drive, I have said it numerous times
:44:18. > :44:23.today. The offensive group led by Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford.
:44:24. > :44:28.Golden Tate, Eric Eve run. You have weapons all over. -- Eric Eve run.
:44:29. > :44:36.The offensive line has struggled mightily. Unless you are Tom Brady
:44:37. > :44:38.gets rid of it so quickly, and frankly does not matter, you will
:44:39. > :44:54.have issues. Stafford, Ian rushed, goes short to
:44:55. > :45:01.Riddick, out of bounds by Abdullah. Short of the 30-yard line, the Lions
:45:02. > :45:05.will be one and seven at the halfway mark of this season after this game.
:45:06. > :45:09.What can Jim Caldwell do the remainder of the season to get this
:45:10. > :45:14.team going in the right direction? The past is the past. He was 11 and
:45:15. > :45:21.five last year, it makes this more perplexing. What the Ford family
:45:22. > :45:24.needs to see from Jim Caldwell is progress, you have juicy you've made
:45:25. > :45:26.these changes offensive Luke Morris get better defensively. -- you have
:45:27. > :45:45.two C. Slides down at the 26-yard line to
:45:46. > :45:49.bring up 4th down. See how I speak about defensively, the front hasn't
:45:50. > :45:58.been their problem. At one point this defensive line featured Nick
:45:59. > :46:05.Fairley. They came at you from every direction. They are not the force
:46:06. > :46:10.they once were. That pass is caught for 1st down, a good catch by Ebron,
:46:11. > :46:19.who had trouble early in the game in the first half. 1st down from the
:46:20. > :46:26.Lions at the 21 yards line. As they try to get something positive late
:46:27. > :46:39.in this game. Stafford. He throws. Rolling into the end zone for a
:46:40. > :46:46.touchdown is Moore. We've seen Alex Smith mobilise
:46:47. > :46:52.Peters drops coverage, throws it to Lance Moore, who rolls it to the end
:46:53. > :47:06.zone for the Lions full. The extra point tried by Matt
:47:07. > :47:13.Prater. For the first time since the opening possession of the game, the
:47:14. > :47:20.Lions put points on the board. Matthew Stafford throwing to Lance
:47:21. > :47:32.Moore for the touchdown. Onside kick try, it hit a Chiefs. The Chiefs
:47:33. > :47:40.have it. It was loose for a moment. On the Lions sideline, Calvin
:47:41. > :47:47.Johnson is being checked out by the medical staff stop putting the issue
:47:48. > :47:58.back on. It's a good sign. Word from Pam Oliver as they were looking at
:47:59. > :48:06.his left toe. As he tests it out. The Chiefs have the Lions 41-yard
:48:07. > :48:11.line. Chase Daniel is in the game at quarterback, Alex Smith had himself
:48:12. > :48:22.a great afternoon. Charcandrick West! Is brought down at the 10-yard
:48:23. > :48:27.line. A great run, Grover Quinn saved a touchdown. What can you say
:48:28. > :48:32.about this offensive line that we haven't already? Watch the right
:48:33. > :48:37.side, look at the gaping hole, again, poor defense from the Detroit
:48:38. > :48:48.Lions and Charcandrick West makes them pay. 32 yard run for
:48:49. > :48:56.Charcandrick West. Jeff Triplett... We didn't see a horse caller, they
:48:57. > :48:59.did eventually call that. Personal foul, horse caller tackle, number 27
:49:00. > :49:07.defense, half the distance to the goal, 1st down. Jim Caldwell
:49:08. > :49:13.wondering about that call. You get a hold of that inside of the Jersey,
:49:14. > :49:19.the shoulder pad, early, yanked it down, it's very here in the NFL will
:49:20. > :49:30.back that it is a penalty. -- in the NFL rule book. Charcandrick West has
:49:31. > :49:37.rushed for 97 yards in the game. Spencer Ware at running back. Taken
:49:38. > :49:44.in. How about that? Spencer Ware comes in, gets the ball and scores a
:49:45. > :49:53.touchdown. Fourth rushing touchdown of the game for the Chiefs.
:49:54. > :50:00.Everybody sharing in the joy. Watch the offensive line, you can see the
:50:01. > :50:05.movement of that line of scrimmage and Spencer Ware really unimpeded
:50:06. > :50:12.until the end, then he fights his way in. This offensive line for the
:50:13. > :50:16.Chiefs playing big, big football. Three weeks ago he was on the
:50:17. > :50:20.practice squad, now scoring a touchdown in London, his first NFL
:50:21. > :50:22.touchdown for Spencer Ware. He will keep the ball, as well he should,
:50:23. > :50:39.the young man out of LSU. The Chiefs continue. An outstanding
:50:40. > :50:43.game. The extra point by Cairo Santos is good. STUDIO: That
:50:44. > :50:47.touchdown was the end of any meaningful action as the game
:50:48. > :50:53.meandered to its conclusion. Needless to say, a dominant win for
:50:54. > :50:56.the Kansas City Chiefs by 45-7. For as the focus has been put in
:50:57. > :51:02.quarters together, it's been the aim of the game all season. We haven't
:51:03. > :51:06.put four quarters together in any of the losses. I'm proud of the guys
:51:07. > :51:10.today, especially second half, coming out continuing to stay
:51:11. > :51:17.focused. The big guys up front set the tone for us. Offense and defense
:51:18. > :51:20.have made the difference today. An emphatic victory for the Kansas City
:51:21. > :51:26.Chiefs it's fair to say. 35 points, that margin equals their best ever
:51:27. > :51:31.for nine years, pretty good day at the office, Mike? Absolutely,
:51:32. > :51:35.everything was working well for the Chiefs, they did exactly what they
:51:36. > :51:39.wanted to do and Andy Reid was able to put together the kind of offense
:51:40. > :51:43.he needed to have with Jamaal Charles being out for the rest of
:51:44. > :51:45.the season. He got his running game together, he got some passing game
:51:46. > :51:54.with Jeremy Maclin back, everything clicked. Alex Smith had a fantastic
:51:55. > :51:57.day, 78 yards rushing for him. 81 in total for the whole of the Detroit
:51:58. > :52:02.Lions, it says more about the decisions Alex Smith made than the
:52:03. > :52:06.Detroit Lions, but it wasn't their day-to-day. It wasn't Detroit Lions
:52:07. > :52:10.day at all. Kansas City Chiefs had a lot to do with that, they came out
:52:11. > :52:14.and executed their game plan flawlessly whether of them to become
:52:15. > :52:19.they did what they wanted to do with the Detroit Lions, kudos for playing
:52:20. > :52:23.the way they did. When it came to rushing they knew what to do. It
:52:24. > :52:30.illustrates it as good as anything else, they got their first touchdown
:52:31. > :52:34.on a tremendous play. To De'Anthony Thomas. Those tight ends with the
:52:35. > :52:39.red arrows going down, watch the Detroit Lions on the end of the
:52:40. > :52:44.line, Ansah. De'Anthony Thomas comes back, gets the ball, Ansah doesn't
:52:45. > :52:47.see it and he's caught, nobody has to block him. Thomas got the two
:52:48. > :52:53.great blocks from the tight ends, he was in standing up. We have to
:52:54. > :52:58.mention how Alex Smith, when he chose to run, this man ran, 49
:52:59. > :53:03.yards. The most rushing yards he's ever had on his career on the day.
:53:04. > :53:07.He exposed the defensive line for the Detroit Lions, he steps up, the
:53:08. > :53:11.Detroit Lions up the field, the defensive tackle is too far down he
:53:12. > :53:16.ran right through the middle. The running back is running right
:53:17. > :53:21.through. The celebrations. And the celebration by him. Charcandrick
:53:22. > :53:28.West is a man they really needed to step forward, a second straight 100
:53:29. > :53:39.yard game, then right at the end Sean where came in. -- Ware came in.
:53:40. > :53:43.It was the stuff in the air Alex Smith was able to decide on. Jamaal
:53:44. > :53:49.Charles wasn't there but he had some outlets including Travis Kelce. Who
:53:50. > :53:55.everybody knew would be his top target. This is Kelce... Set up by a
:53:56. > :53:58.long pass to Kelce, they threw the ball outside, only one blocker, but
:53:59. > :54:04.he's so strong he doesn't need any more and does it himself. Alex
:54:05. > :54:07.Smith, nice through over the middle, Jeremy Maclin coming through, the
:54:08. > :54:11.middle linebacker had him in coverage, but he's too slow to cover
:54:12. > :54:20.Jeremy Maclin, he comes up with a nice catch. As soon as he saw
:54:21. > :54:23.Maclin, his eyes lit up. Talk about his game a little bit. Coming into
:54:24. > :54:29.this it was a little bit of anxiety around his game. He picked the right
:54:30. > :54:34.passes and the right times to run and he managed. Use a game manager,
:54:35. > :54:38.that is exactly what he did today, managed the game for the Kansas City
:54:39. > :54:42.Chiefs, made all the right weeds, man when he needed to run, through
:54:43. > :54:47.the exact pinpoint passes when he needed to. They and I can call him
:54:48. > :54:54.the game manager, he won the game for the Chiefs. A game manager is
:54:55. > :54:58.what you want. It doesn't get more contrasting for quarterback Stan
:54:59. > :55:02.Alex Smith against Stafford. It was down to the defense Detroit was
:55:03. > :55:07.playing. They put exceptional pressure on Matt Stafford for the
:55:08. > :55:15.whole game, it came from overload ellipses, one guy rushing on block.
:55:16. > :55:21.It came from all sides. -- overload blitzes. If you spend that much
:55:22. > :55:25.time, eventually you will go down. If the game is bad when it comes to
:55:26. > :55:33.the sacks, the interceptions come. Pressure on the quarterback, Riley
:55:34. > :55:37.Reiff looks really bad. Just Houston comes through, he had a fantastic
:55:38. > :55:41.game today by the way. Stafford looking to Calvin Johnson on the
:55:42. > :55:44.left, he threw over the middle and finally in the fourth quarter he
:55:45. > :55:49.decides, maybe I would have run from this rush. He makes his decision
:55:50. > :55:53.earlier, that was the lesson we took as Lance Moore rolls into the end
:55:54. > :55:57.zone. We took from Matt Stafford that decisions need to come more
:55:58. > :56:01.quickly, we thought that is what Jim Bob Kusal was going to do when they
:56:02. > :56:10.brought in a new offensive coordinator this week. -- Jim Bob
:56:11. > :56:13.Cooter. They go one and seven, it'll hurt for them going into the locker
:56:14. > :56:19.room and going back to the States, where do they go from here? It is
:56:20. > :56:22.what you refer to as gut check time, their season is lost, they will not
:56:23. > :56:27.make the lay-offs with their record, they need to find out how the team
:56:28. > :56:30.will build next year, who will lay down, who will quit and you will
:56:31. > :56:36.stand up and play like they have tried? It'll determine their future
:56:37. > :56:42.moving forward. What about the Chiefs? It was five and zero not
:56:43. > :56:48.long ago, now three and five. Great situation for them, they go home,
:56:49. > :56:52.get some rest, coming on a roll of a really good win. If Oakland lose
:56:53. > :56:57.today, they are even opened behind Denver and Denver is the first game
:56:58. > :57:02.of the buying week, they'll be prepared for that. What about the
:57:03. > :57:08.international series? The atmosphere incredible. This game is building
