Race to Super Bowl 50 - NFL Week 12 American Football

60 minutes of football. Let's go. Blasted into the end zone.

Touchdown! Unbelievable! This is the deceptive. The New England Patriots

are the NFL champions. Hello, NFL week 12 is Thanksgiving

week, and that starts a six-week dash to the playoffs. There are more

painful things in football than winning. Let's go, baby. And the

reigning Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots, are doing

exactly that. Ten straight wins in the AFC, but pain there is. The

Patriots-injuries are mounting. The Cincinnati Bengals went eight games

unbeaten. They have lost two in succession, and that could hurt. At

the bron, a Super Bowl-winning Peyton Manning is suffering. The

unknown Brock Osweiler must take the place at quarterback. And down

south, a storm is brewing. The Indianapolis Colts and the Texans,

both the form, both top spot. And unbeaten in the NFC, the Carolina

Panthers, they scrammed by Canada. Can the Panthers keep dishing out

the pain? Frost bite up north, the Green Bay Packers and the vieks

vieks vieks. Out west -- and the Minnesota Vikings. Out west, the

Arizona Cardinals are on song. Can the Seahawks catch them in flight?

And in the east, it's a free for all. Slugging it out, Dallas,

Washington, Philadelphia and New York. To be touched by glory, you

need to hurt. Feel the burn in the Race to Super Bowl 50. So in week

12, the Race to Super Bowl 50 looks like this. In the AFC: And Denver

and the Colts are the next two digsal leaders. And they are our

while cards. A number of teams looking to take advantage of any

slip-ups. In the NFC, unbeaten Carolina and Arizona are the top two

seeds. Looking forward to a week off, looking forward to the outcome

of wild card weekend. And they enjoy at least a one game advantage over a

number of teams. Helping chart the Race to Super Bowl 50, our former

quarter, Bill Belichick, and our two-time Super Bowl winner, and

another former Giant, Osi Umenyiora. As week 12 started with Thanksgiving

day, that meant turkey and pumpkin pie and a whole lot more.

It's Baldwin! And he got the touchdown! He breaks the tackle.

He's at the ten. Gets around. He is going to find the end zone!

Carolina! Throws, Beckham, a diving catch.

To get involved, just use the hashtag. If you are new to the

sport, #NFL rookie. We will get to answer your questions. To start a

mouth-watering match-up, the undidn'ted New England Patriots,

travelled wet -- the undefeated New England Patriots travelled west to

take on the Denver Broncos. The most valuable player of the last Super

Bowl, Tom Brady leading the New England Patriots on the road to the

Mile High city, Denver, the cold Colorado. The Patriots are unbeaten,

but missing key players through injury. A chance for replacements to

shine or shiver. And the Denver Broncos without their sta

quarterback, the record-breaking 39-year-old, Peyton Manning, out

injured. Giving Brock Osweiler his chance. This is his fourth year in

the NFL, but this is his only second start. The tender foot and the mart.

The snow and the heat, the altitude and the attitude.

He is the running back. And Brady will fire it to the outside and it's

caught by Gronkowski. And New England has scored, three and a half

minutes into the game. If you are going one on one with Gronkowski,

you are going to pay a price for. I thought he was going to see

autokinds of coverage, not so far. Third down and four. But then,

somehow, he gets battered up in the air, and picked off as the the-yard

line. He has 2 -- at the 20-yard line. And New England takes over at

the 20-yard line. Third and four. Clean pocket. And free for the

touchdown is Chandler. So Tom Brady able to exploit the weaknesses in

that secondary. And there is the replacement for it. J Ward. Just a

two-deep zone defence. Pick and catch for Tom Brady. Second down and

one from the 19-yard line. Theys to it to Hillman. And Hillman breaks a

tackle and goes to the end zone! Ronnie Hillman, he was boated up

with two good runs -- bottled up with two good runs to make it a

one-possession game. Brady surveys and it's caught! In front is Bolden.

And Bolden breaking tackles, goes into the end zone. Omar Bolden,

And Bolden breaking tackles, goes throwing it over the line backer

covering. They have isolated these linebackers in coverage positions.

They are not used to be there. For Danny, he is not used to having to

cover a back that is 40 yards down the field.

Whoops! The bass is -- the ball is loose! And the Broncos in dire need

of a major break, just got one. The rookie Harper, and lamb at the down

there. And here comes Ebron. To the outside... Anderson. Can he

swing around the corner #12346789d he can! And CJ

That may have been one of the best jump cuts I have seen all season. He

is hot tonight. We are seeing the CJ Anderson that we saw at the end of

last year, when he had eight touchdowns in the last eight games

and there he is again. This us Von Miller time. This is where you need

him, right now. Gronk is going to give him a little chip on the way

out. Brady, under pressure, gets away. The flag is thrown. Deep down

field, getting wide open is Martin. He will be taken down at the 29. But

the flag is down at the offensive back field.

UMPIRE: Holding, offence. Number 63. That would have been a 51-yard gain.

And then, the pressure on Brady, Bradiscape, makes a huge play. But

all for naught. On in ensuring possession, the Broncos orchestrated

a nine-yard drive. They cut the Patriots' lead to four points. Just

a monster opportunity for the defence now. Give the ball back to a

young Brock Osweiler. A chance to beat Tom Brady, all that ucked ask

for here. -- all that you could ask for here. Flag is down. Very

physical, at the point of that break. Calling on him. He had four

offensive pass interference calls made against him this year. There is

the fifth. That's one area you don't want to lead the league in, but he

does. Watch him go down the field and dip that left shoulder in. A

little arm extension. That is what Brady is saying. He said he did not

push. It could go either way. Under three minutes. Play action, over the

middle, and that's incomplete, Gronkowski. And Gronkowski is hurt.

He gets hit and he is rolling appeared. This right knee gets

whipped when he was hit. It wasn't even on the ground. You see the whip

effect here, as the shoulder pads come in. Look at all the defensive

guys at the Broncos coming over the give him a little smack. Well

respected in the league. First things first, as the Patriots try to

extend the unbeaten strike to 11. Osweiler, deep down field. And

finally, Thomas makes a catch! 11 times, he is targeted. His first

grab. Wouldn't couldn't have come at -- couldn't have come at a better

time for him. Emmanuel Sanders, what a night for him! First in-goal. From

the 7-yard line. Osweiler, under pressure. He is going to get sacked!

Andre Branch, third down and goal. And a flag out of play. The crowd

anning it on the defence. UMPIRE: Holding, defence, number 23.

First down. That left hand is what they saw on the shoulder pad. We

have had a few of those tight ones today. The throw is caught! Bubba

Caldwell! Denver has the lead! And who would have thought it? It's

Brock Osweiler, taking them 80 yards plus down the field, to take the

lead against Tom Brady! Ten seconds left in regulation. He still has a

time-out. But they need to get in field goal range. They are not there

yet. Brady will throw. And sliding out of bounds... That with four

second, will set up an opportunity to tie the game. Maybe it just

doesn't matter. Many these two teams, when they get together, holy

cow, what a game. This is going to be a 47-yard attempt, in the snow,

in a slippery surface, to send us into over time. Which he... Does!

Wow! Wow! Man oh, man. Have they got their money's worth this week or not

holy cow! Have to get to the 30. Brady... Has

to dump it off. Shane Ray got there. The first round pick. And it's

fourth down. Denver is going to get a ball, and a field goal can win the

game. This is a key play. CJ Anderson is a running back. See if

they go back to the sneak they ran earlier in the game. And plenty

more! CJ Anderson is going to go all the way! And the Denver Broncos win

the game! We stuck to our rules that we were coached to do, and we just

battled through it. It wasn't always pretty. But if you willing to

continue to fight, and fight throughout a game, you will get

there. He's been through a lot, he's a tough guy. Hopefully it's not too

serious. All your fingers are crossed. Do you think it's a dirty

hit? I hate to see it, he's really the only way for the defenders to

hit now. It's, I bet you, if you ask a lot of the players, they would

rather you go high than low. But you know, when you go low, that's what

happened. I don't think it's dirty. I think it's the way that football

is being played now. The New England Patriots finally lost a football

game, but they got bigger problems than that. Look at the laundry list

of players the New England Patriots have lost this season. Julian

Edelman, the one guy who they can not afford to lose, Rob Gronkowski.

I'm going to show Youi. We like to refer to him as a match-up

nightmare. Here, you see him lined up as a wide receiver. This is a six

foot five, 285 pound player, a beast of a man, lined up at the wide

receiver position. Tom Brady identifies, that and he is going to

throw him the football to him. He says, "get off me, get off me." Look

at my man right here. This guy makes me laugh. He is like, you know what,

I'm not going to catch that guy, he is going to get to the end zone. Get

off me, fool! Get off me, fool! I'm in the end zone, I'm Rob Gronkowski!

He is lined up here in his more traditional position of tight end.

You have a linebacker try to cover him, he can't cover him either. He

is running down, looking like a runaway freight train. And now in

Denver Broncos are going to say, you know what, we are trying to tackle

you high, we are trying to do you a favour, guess what we are going to

do now? We are going to tackle you low. And boom, they go low, take my

man, take he knees out. He is thinking to himself, what have I

done to deserve this. I did not deflate one single football this

year, but I'm still losing all my players. This is one guy, if the New

England Patriots want to win, they couldn't afford to lose this guy. As

they makes his way back, let's focus on the Broncos. And let's focus on

CJ Anderson. Eight touchdowns in his latest eight games last season, and

he is coming good again. He seems to come alive at this time of the

season. To be a playoff contender, you need to be able to run the ball

well in bad weather. It's the bad weather where he comes alive. Why? A

big running back like this, and nobody wants to tackle him in bad

weather. The weather gets cold, people's fingers get numb, their

feet get cold, they don't want to tackle anyone. It makes it very,

very tough on a defence. Because of his size, he has great power and

ability to grip, rather than being a slighter with less balance. That's

just the kind of runner he is. Some of had rate fast guys, they can't

cut in that environment. Just on the tackling low, is that how the game

is going now? Did you guys tackle low in your day? The game right now,

such an emphasis on head safety. And people are big and strong up top,

you have no other choice to go low, and this is where you are seeing a

rash of knee injuries. We'll see how the other undefeated team, the

Carolina Panthers, get on later in the programme. Here are the rest of

the contenders in the American conference. In the AFC east, they

have different results. The New York Jets jet maintain their wild card

challenge. And Chris Ivory ran all over the Miami Dolphins. They went

on to fire their offensive coordinator. Chris Ivory, what a

run! Buffalo Bill started well, against the Kansas City Chiefs. They

were caught out by two touchdowns. And despite a late Buffalo rally,

they sealed a fifth straight victory for Kansas City. Cincinnati remained

in front. The best of the scores. Now, he leads the league with 12

touchdown receptions. And the Bengals go to nine and two. Two

teams vying for the lead of the AFC south, both had wins on Sunday.

Indiana put the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the sword. Over 300 yards passing

to record a third straight win and keeping Indianapolis on top of the

division. Meanwhile, the Texans kept pace with the Colts. Griffin and

Shorts set the tone that sees Houston breeze to their

fourth-straight victory, and as they battle Indianapolis for an automatic

playoff spot. If ego back to the Colts, is it odd to say they are

rejuvenated without Andrew Luck? Not at all. You see that young

quarterbacks have a veteran back-up. They don't need a bunch of reps,

they can step in and take over if things get tough. This is what

inside Annapolis needed. The 50-year-old Hasselbeck. He is

getting it done. He has to age about five years every time we have this

conversation. He is doing good things for us middle-aged men. We

want to show you something from the Ravens game. The Browns had this

field goal, right at the end, and that would have won it. In the end,

Baltimore blocked it. And then they returned it 64 yards for the

touchdown and won it themselves. Nothing goes right for the Browns.

Why are you laughing? The Cleveland Browns snatch defeat from the jaws

of Vic industry. How unfortunate could you be? And social media

blamed Johnny man zel for it. And it just leaves pits pits, protecting a

wild card better. -- Pitoitua, protecting a wild card berth. And

the crowd that makes the home of the Seattle Seahawks one of the loudest?

In NFL. Can Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers are coming to town.

Pitoitua needing to maintain their position at the number one wild card

team in the AFC, while Seattle needed a win to keep their NFC wild

card hopes alive. And Seattle being victorious in three of their last

four, this promised to be an even encounter. Here is Landry Jones,

coming to the other side. He is strepted! And -- intercepted! He

stubbles down at the 20. He was trying to make a cut on Jones. Here

is third and goal. They got this time! It's Baldwin! On the receiving

end of the Russell Wilson pat. The number one play inside the 30,

looking to score. Second and six. Brown and Sherman. Look at

Brian breaking a tackle. And finding enough room to negotiate the

sideline and the touchdown. He gets around Earl Thomas, not blocked by

anybody. And it's another touchdown, another touchdown pass by Wilson.

This one is a curse. He completes an 835-yard -- 85-yard pass drive.

Straight ahead to the end zone for the touchdown. What a drive. The

offence still out there. As Mike thom listen are do. He's going --

Thomlin will go. He is going for the two. It's there for Jesse James.

After forcing the three and out from the Seahawks, the Steelers put

together an 11-play drive that led to a 25-yarded field goal. Looking

to break rightaway. And almost on the second time. They did in fact

get it. Graham, what a catch. It was juggled, there on the deflection, he

hung with it all the way. He is under it, no question. No question

it's a catch. And they are at the one. And he powers across for the

touchdown. Two plays after the pick. The Seahawks are an extra point away

from tying it. As... It's another miss. Three in the last two weeks,

and the Steelers stay up by one. Play aches. And going for the --

play action. Only Sherman is there. His first interception of the year.

And Sherman has to run back. The little push of the hands by Richard

Sherman is what knocked Antonio Brown down. And Roethlisberger is

aware, it's a pass interference. Looking for Graham. And Blake got a

hand up. And Graham is injured. Graham is injured. Just his right

leg, right there. So you would think, you can tell by his reaction,

his arms and hands go up, and they grabbed his knee. Graham, the star

tight end from Seattle. He gets a hug. The coach is there. And Jackson

with an encouraging word. Second and seven. To the end zone, and curse,

for the time today, he has a touchdown. It's quick, and Russell

Wilson put the football exactly where he needed to throw it. On a

new set of down, looking around, and launching. He breaks away for the

touchdown! Seahawks, who have led in the fourth quarter of every game

they have played this year, the five losses, all of this giveaway leads.

It's open! It's Baldwin and he got the touchdown! His second today.

They blitz... The pass is away. And it's incomplete. What a flag. The

flag is at midfield, and Roethlisberger is down. He was hit

by everyin. -- Irvine. On the third and ten. Roethlisberger

is hit. Forcing him into him. The helmet came in contact with the

quart quarter. After failing to reach the end zone, Pittsburgh hit a

field goal to cut Seattle's lead to two points. Roethlisberger came off,

and did not return. Jackson is in the back field. Here they come. It's

caught to the first. It's Baldwin! Shaking free and sprinting down the

sideline for the touchdown! His third of the day! Doug Baldwin!

Russell Wilson stood in there like he done it all way -- like he has

done all day. He throws it hard enough, with the backside defender,

could not get down. Terrible tackling by the Pittsburgh defensive

backs, and it crushed them right here. I'm delighted to say, we are

joined by the Seahawks head coach. On the game itself, it was great to

watch, was it great to coach in? Yeah, it was a really good game.

Exciting. It was really NFL football at its best. Big plays everywhere by

great players. We had a big crowd, the crowd weekend crazy. What would

you say the biggest obstacle you had to over come this year? The same as

last year. Coming off a year that expectations and accomplishments

were there. And they have an impact. Whether you win or lose that big

game, it has an impact on your team and you need to respond to it. It

makes the off season short and all that, I don't buy that one, but it

does make it filled with all kinds of opportunities to be did tracted,

to be off -- to be distracted, and off course. I like to ask you a

question from an English point of view. In a lot of our sport, once a

coach and team win a trophy, they are expected to keep delivering. The

nature of American football, and they want it to be fair, and not

have one team constantly dominate, does that make you more pragmatic as

a head coach? I don't think it changes. We expect to come back and

get the chase on, and go after it again. I don't know that in America,

it's any different. I don't know that. And I don't know it's any

harder. They are trying to make the league with parity. It's OK. It

doesn't mean we have to go along with that. So, it is about us, you

know, continuing to hold ourselves to the standards that make you fight

for what, it brings out the best in you. It's what we're doing. And it's

a great challenge. The challenge of many trying to come back to the

Super Bowl and win the thing again is the challenge I like living with.

It's been a pleasure talking to you. Thank you so much for joining us.

Thank you, Pete. OK, thanks for having me. Week 12 started on

Thanksgiving Day, the red-hot unbeaten Carolina Panthers travel to

Dallas, the lone defensive English star playing in the NFL. Sometimes

when I tauch down, thinking how I grew up in London, and now I'm

playing envelope on the biggest -- NFL on the biggest stage. It was a

good experience. It got me packed, the atmosphere is going to be crazy.

The whole country is going to be watching. We are the only game

showing at the time. It's going to be great.

We game plan every game. I don't want to give away too much. We will

get some, chance to be in the right place at the right time, we'll be

successful. This is how we play. COMMENTATOR: Jack Crawford came

flying? We'll see how that goes. It's a hell of a season. A hell of a

player. A hell of an athlete. He is about as big as me, he is hard to

take down. We'll see how it goes. Yeah, totally. Glad to have him

back. He is a leader for the team. He's been in the franchise for so

long. We are still in the hunt for the Super Bowl. I started dreaming.

Third and six. Romo from the pocket. He is picking off. It's intercepted

by kirk. And Coleman breaks the tackle. He is at the ten. He is

going to find the end zone. Carolina, 59 seconds into the game

is in the board. They read the quarterback, look at kirk Coleman.

He was sitting there and preying on Tony Romo when he threw it. The

Panthers defence comes out and makes a statement. The Cowboys would go

three and out, and the Panthers would convert that into a 49-yard

field goal. The Cowboys hit back with a 21-yard field goal, to make

it 10.3, heading into the second quarter. And then the Panthers ended

a play drive with a 43-yard kick, to make it 13-3. Second and 13, Romo.

Intercepted. He is inside the 20, to the ten, and to the end zone for

another Panthers defensive touchdown. He passed off the man

running down the middle, to the safety, and then he looked for the

incut behind. That is how you are taught. When we see the speed. What

a player. It's got to be a shocker right now, for the number nine.

First down throw. It's right back with another one. Can you believe

it, back to back plays! He is brought down by Williams at the 28.

Not going to say he was impatient this time. I saw it right from the

go. Jason going down the field. I thought he had him. What a play by

him. That is tremendous. Following his interception, the Panthers hit a

25-yard field goal to extend their lead. It gave the home fans

something to shout about, the half-time show.

After the ras may it was, the Cowboys him back -- the ramatazz,

the Cowboys hit back. And it led to this field goal attempt. Good again.

Now a flag down now. It may have been a Cowboy player. It looked

They identified him, but that is who it is. This is rule not only

emphasised, but enforced because of safety. A big part of the NFL this

year. The 14th play of his drive. And a first in goal. And it's cam

Newton tumbling in for another touchdown. The first offensive

touchdown of this game. Well the Cowboys, said it many times, say it

one more time, they were hoping that Carolina would make the mistakes.

The three interceptions, the penalty by Jones, he makes it look so easy.

You are owe. He grabbed that -- euro -- uh-oh. The two back surgeries. He

has dealt with. Thomas Davies gets there late. Tony Romo with that left

clavical, reinjured. Where do the I think today, we really proved that

we deserve to be in the 11. It was an awesome day. A fun day. We

dominated in whole game. A lot of fun. I really appreciate it. And I

really do. And it's going to need that. We know that the fans really

appreciate American football. A good game. It was a really exciting game.

Some big plays on the defensive side. Got to give them credit. At

the end of the day, our guys played well. See you in Super Bowl 50,

baby! It's not moves, we need to have a perfect game. You know, we

just had a couple of six, and pretty much, you know, like a downward

inspiral. Starting to build back up. There's always a great atmosphere

here. Unfortunately, the result didn't come through the way we

wanted it to. Thanks to Crawford for doing that. I want to prays Ron, not

just because he praised us. I really like him as a coach. He is a

players' coach. He has gotten behind his guys asked allows them to be

themselves. It gives you the freedom to go out and do whatever you got to

do. To his credit, moch coaches, they have a scream -- most coaches,

they have a scream ask a set way. He has identified the talents of all

this players and tailered his scheme around them. Did he, did he just

prays the Carolina Panthers for the first time? On the show! ? I'm going

to get teary! I got to give credit where credit is due. They are not

going to go undefeated! Aww! A heck of a head coach now. Onto the rest

of the NFC. With Dallas having been defeated, and Philadelphia falling

to their third straight loss, and left the Washington Red skins and

the New York Giants to battle for the lead. Touchdown! That helped

them to a it 17-nil lead. Beckham junior added to his highlight reel.

Too, too late for the New York Giants. On the night that Favre had

his jersey number retired, what started as a celebration turned into

a nightmare. The Chicago Bears recorded only their second win in

Green Bay since twoigt. Green Bay with only one win in their last five

games. That defeat allowed the Vikings to take control of the NFC

North with a win in Atlanta. They needed a victory to stay alive. But

they failed to contain Janice Petersen, who scored twice. --

Adrian Petersen, who scored twice. And Arizona continued to dominate

the NFC West with a routine win, over the struggling rivals, the

49ers. Carson Palmer ran for one score, but the tail back could be

lost for the season, with a fractured tibya. The Arizona

Cardinals have a-game lead over Seattle. There is one play that we

need to see again, from that round-up. Odell Beckham junior's

catch. The office I was watching this in, everyone went up. Just

amazed at his control. The discussion is then, how does he do

it? First of all, he is special. And the big part is, he has the ability

to track in ball in the air. When he is running, he is going to look

late. He wants an advantage on a defender. As he is running, as soon

as he looks, the defender looks to defend the ball. The later you look,

the more chance you have to put off the defender? Absolutely. He turns

and traction that ball, and he is able to track that ball, without too

much head movement. He brings it to his body, secures it and then rolls.

It helps having big hand, I'm assuming. When you are in high

school, and being taut football, how are you taught to catch? With an

open palm? Yes, you keep your fingers together. Grumpy chops over

hoo, you don't think it's special? This is just an average catch!

People do it all the time! Listen, man... It's easy! I make this look

easy! I mean... I sound like a hater. But it's just a nice catch,

man! You are still smitten! I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed

you are that you caught that, and spun the ball on the ground as well.

I got you with the spin. Unbelievable! If you want more NFL

why not join us as we continue our regular Sunday

One of the lowest points of my broadcasting career. Here are some

sights and sounds that you may APPLAUSE

Chiefs! Proud of those guys. They had to step in. Some big shoes right

there, stepped up, did a great job. The practices are paying off. The

extra field work. Taking care of your body, it's paying off. Last

week, I said, see you Wednesday. This week, what do you

So 12 weeks gone. Here is the playoff picture. Despite their loss,

New England and Cincinnati remain as the top two seeds. Inside Annapolis

complete the division leaderers. And Kansas City are the first wild card

team, joined by the Houston Texans. Over in the NFC, Carolina and

Arizona remain as the top two seeds. Below them, all change. Minnesota

replace Green Bay as the leaders of the north. And the wild card berths

are occupied. A bit of social media. The NFL rookie this week. We spoke

about kicks. What is pick six? Pick six is when you get an interception

and you take it to the house, and you score a touchdown, and that is

when you dance. Pregame, Tom Brady put this on his Facebook, a horse

riding a Broncos. How the Broncos responded on their twiert feed.

That's it. Thank you very much to you for this week. That's it for

week 12. A sensational week 12. We are going to leave you with that one

team still unbeaten. Who are they?! I don't know. The Carolina Panthers,

see you next time. Who is this dangerous renegade,

this maverick,
