:00:00. > :00:17.MUSIC PLAYS . 16 minutes of footballing right
:00:18. > :00:33.from the start. Touchdown! Unbelievable! The Patriots, the NFL
:00:34. > :00:44.champions. Hello, it's NFL Week 14. And there are plenty of play-off
:00:45. > :00:48.places up for grabs. In the NFC, Carolina are the south division
:00:49. > :00:54.champions and guaranteed a play-off place. Arizona, Washington are the
:00:55. > :01:00.other division leaders. Minnesota and Seattle are our wild cards with
:01:01. > :01:06.Tampa Bay and Atlanta looking on. In Week there was all change, division
:01:07. > :01:13.leaders Denver became the top, looking for a bye on wild card
:01:14. > :01:19.weekend. New England dropped and end plots are the other division leader.
:01:20. > :01:27.The Chiefs occupy the wild card, Pittsburgh, buffalo and Houston away
:01:28. > :01:33.-- await any slip-ups. Of the 32 teams that started the race to bow
:01:34. > :01:38.0, only Cleveland had been eliminating going into Week 14.
:01:39. > :01:41.Jason Bell is here and we begin with two teams from the NFC with
:01:42. > :01:46.everything to two teams from the NFC with
:01:47. > :01:49.everything to play for. You stand six feet five-inches tall, his left
:01:50. > :01:57.knee has been reconstructed twice. His career has had moment of
:01:58. > :02:03.controversy and he will soon be 36. The quarterback Palmer is leading
:02:04. > :02:08.the Cardinals towards the play-offs. Week 14 in their home in Phoenix.
:02:09. > :02:36.The vikings too have a controversial star. Running back Aiden Peterson,
:02:37. > :02:40.with play yachts. We talked last night, and the look in his eye, how
:02:41. > :02:46.stern he was. I asked, "Would you take this out" and he said, "Yes,
:02:47. > :02:55.but blocking on the right sides." Second and one from the nine. And
:02:56. > :03:06.it's Peters. What a run! Peters to the end zone for the touchdown. A
:03:07. > :03:12.little shaken has Mathieson. And that's his 100th career touchdown.
:03:13. > :03:16.Well, he said, "I'm going to be pretty fresh tonight" is what he
:03:17. > :03:21.said last night. He said, "I carried it so little last week." And of
:03:22. > :03:25.course his determination and pride. One side cut two, so he went left,
:03:26. > :03:32.left, back to the right, both tackles. Not only did he have a
:03:33. > :03:37.great series, a lot of credit to the offensive line. They are coming
:03:38. > :03:42.after Palmer, he steps away from the heat. On the line he finds Jonathan
:03:43. > :03:47.Brown. Out of a tackle, is he going to take it to the end zone for the
:03:48. > :03:53.touchdown? There was the speed that you talked before! 65 yards to
:03:54. > :03:59.Jonathan Brown. Here comes the pressure from the right, our left,
:04:00. > :04:07.it's Robinson and Jonathan Brown, couldn't adjust. And you are right,
:04:08. > :04:14.the speed, it's undeniable. The only point of score in the second quarter
:04:15. > :04:29.came from vikings kicker Brad Wahlberg, the 44 yard, tying it at
:04:30. > :04:31.10-10 going into half-time. Vikings kicker Brad Wahlberg, the 44 yard,
:04:32. > :04:37.tying it at 10-10 going into half-time. They were in on Peters,
:04:38. > :04:46.so far he was not able to execute the trick play. Third and eight.
:04:47. > :04:51.Stepping up and winding an open man. And he gets passed the traffic for
:04:52. > :04:56.the touchdown! Larry Fitzgerald throw as block for him and then
:04:57. > :05:01.comes and celebrates. Watch to the right, you can see the other
:05:02. > :05:06.defenders run into the inside. Palmer, look at that, two open
:05:07. > :05:10.uncovered reseveres to the right. Does that say it alaboutlar
:05:11. > :05:18.Fitzgerald. A run game, a pass game, remendus. Palmer now has the Arizona
:05:19. > :05:23.record alone. His 31st touchdown pass of the year. Early in the
:05:24. > :05:29.fourth quarter the Cardinals put together a 16-play drive that
:05:30. > :05:36.stalled in the red zone and ended with 23 yards Chanderpual field
:05:37. > :05:50.goal. The Vikings responded on their next possession with 54-year-old
:05:51. > :05:56.goal from Wahlberg to make it 2013. -- with a 54 yard. A Lordship going
:05:57. > :06:02.inside. La and there is nowhere to go. On the outside that was ant
:06:03. > :06:09.Harris,iesing it in there - just good by Harris. Third and nine.
:06:10. > :06:15.Missed one of those for each side now. Blitz, pass, got to make a move
:06:16. > :06:22.and does! That's back to the inside. And then speeds it up to about the
:06:23. > :06:31.24. Nobody in the middle of the field, here comes the line backers,
:06:32. > :06:46.nobody is underneath. And first and 20. They love these play actions and
:06:47. > :06:49.it's a late release by Lyons and he just lowers ahead and everybody goes
:06:50. > :06:54.for the big hit. Nobody got their arms out. To wrap him up, that's why
:06:55. > :06:58.he rumbled down there for the few extra yards. We have five minutes
:06:59. > :07:02.left in the game. What were they doing? Let's see first though. This
:07:03. > :07:14.pivotal play. doing? Let's see first though. This
:07:15. > :07:22.territory. Third and goal. To the end zone for the touchdown? Mike
:07:23. > :07:27.Wallace. All out blitz. But Ted Shoebridge did a good job. Coming
:07:28. > :07:32.all of the way across the field. Watch, everybody. Blitz and boy you
:07:33. > :07:37.can't just fight your way through it, that's the problem when you are
:07:38. > :07:41.blitzing, and Teddy said it last night, we will have players cross
:07:42. > :07:47.the field and we saw a couple of big plays because of that. From here,
:07:48. > :07:57.they don't gain anything it would be 47 yards. And it's incomplete. There
:07:58. > :08:01.were two Cardinals in the area. Fitzgerald almost came down with it
:08:02. > :08:05.but Nicholas was making a play at the same time. It looked like a
:08:06. > :08:11.little confusion. But this is a play they love. Really didn't know who he
:08:12. > :08:21.was throwing the football to, tolar Fitzgerald. Well, the end completion
:08:22. > :08:29.stops the clock with 128 to go and brings out Canensero. Second year,
:08:30. > :08:32.look at this kid. Dead perfect. Last time the Vikings won a road game,
:08:33. > :08:37.trailing by at least ten in the fourth quarter. Goes all of the way
:08:38. > :08:41.back to 1985 when they beat the Eagles. They were actually trailing
:08:42. > :08:46.23-0 in the fourth quarter that game before winning. This is a team that
:08:47. > :08:56.has won four consecutive on the road. Vikings need about 35 yards to
:08:57. > :09:08.get Blair Wahlberg a chance. They have to go the rest of the way
:09:09. > :09:12.without a time-out. Lsh a chance. They have to go the rest of the way
:09:13. > :09:20.without a time-out. Last week the Vikings watched as Green Bay pulled
:09:21. > :09:27.off the hail Mary at Detroit. You can imagine, they are watching this
:09:28. > :09:33.one. In the north, and suddenly the Vikings are in range, field goal
:09:34. > :09:53.range that is, as Wright makes the catch. You cannot, again, throw it
:09:54. > :10:01.in the field of play. The ball comes out. Was it a pass or a fumble?
:10:02. > :10:08.Ruling on the field is a fumble and recovery by Campese. It was Preeney
:10:09. > :10:16.who hit him. Where has he been all night? He has been resting for just
:10:17. > :10:20.this situation. They all said to me, this Cardinals team, when he gets in
:10:21. > :10:26.the game, he is going to set it up and use the spin move, second time
:10:27. > :10:32.he used it, the second time a charm, causes the fumble. And wins the
:10:33. > :10:38.game. We were trying to throw the ball to the sideline. We told 'em,
:10:39. > :10:42."Can't complete the ball in bounds because 12, 13 seconds is right at
:10:43. > :10:48.the time that you can spike the ball and get the clock stopped." Would
:10:49. > :10:53.you think strongly of possibly kicking? Yeah, I thought about it. I
:10:54. > :10:59.thought about a lot of things, the ball in the end zone, we were trying
:11:00. > :11:04.to get closer. We are in the play-offs, don't know where or when,
:11:05. > :11:11.but we are in. And we always take great pride in that to win twice
:11:12. > :11:16.against two very physical fronts, I'm pleased with that. Just felt
:11:17. > :11:20.like a weird game, you know, they had all of these guys injured,
:11:21. > :11:24.playing corners at safety and weird stuff, you weren't quite sure what
:11:25. > :11:28.they would get. They couldn't do what they wanted to do and we
:11:29. > :11:33.practised all week. You get to the game, you don't know who is active
:11:34. > :11:37.until last night, you know, or yesterday we found out a bunch of
:11:38. > :11:41.guys are down and you start to prepare for different things. It
:11:42. > :11:47.shows a lot about this team, how well we are coached and prepared.
:11:48. > :11:51.One of the best teams in the NFL right now, what makes them so great?
:11:52. > :11:59.They are good on offense and good on defense. And we will show you why.
:12:00. > :12:04.Palmer, he is my comeback player of the year and I'm going to tell you
:12:05. > :12:07.why right now. He came off of knee injury, bounced back, is playing
:12:08. > :12:11.unbelievable football. I am going to show you what makes a good veteran
:12:12. > :12:16.quarterback. Now, let's pause that right there. You see Palmer, he has
:12:17. > :12:20.got the rush coming on. Let's go to slow motion. As you see, the
:12:21. > :12:21.pressure coming to the outside, he doesn't look at
:12:22. > :12:24.pressure coming to the outside, he doesn't look at the pressure, he
:12:25. > :12:27.feels the pressure. He steps up the field and delivers. That's the key.
:12:28. > :12:32.Young guys would look at the pressure. He doesn't look at it, he
:12:33. > :12:36.delivers the ball to Jonathan Brown and you see the outcome. Whoa John
:12:37. > :12:40.brown running like he stole something just there. And this guy
:12:41. > :12:46.right here. This guy is amazing.lar Fitzgerald. Youngest player to 1,000
:12:47. > :12:50.receptions. All professional, future Hall of Famer. The one thing that he
:12:51. > :12:55.doesn't have is a championship. Now, as you seize this route up top.
:12:56. > :12:59.These two guys actually messed up and ran the wrong route. As you see
:13:00. > :13:05.this happenlar Fitzgerald, wait until you see this up close. This is
:13:06. > :13:09.what a guy who wants to win a championship does. He leads blocks
:13:10. > :13:15.and he puts this guy on his back. That guy wants a ring. He will do
:13:16. > :13:21.anything to win. No, no, no. He didn't put him on his back. He put
:13:22. > :13:24.him on his knee. You know what the name is for the jersey right here.
:13:25. > :13:29.Watch where he puts this. You don't want your family to see that. No,
:13:30. > :13:34.no. Your parents have to see that. Whoa what a play bylar Fitzgerald.
:13:35. > :13:39.That guy wants to win. He wants to win bad. And now we are going to
:13:40. > :13:43.talk about the pass rush. Now, if you were paying attention last week
:13:44. > :13:47.- I remember saying something like, "In the two minutes that's when
:13:48. > :13:55.games are won and lost in the NFL." True. Watch what happens here. You
:13:56. > :14:02.have the ageless wonder. He has been speed rushing, running up the field,
:14:03. > :14:10.giving it all. What does he do here? Does he speed rush? Oh, no it's the
:14:11. > :14:14.spin move. We didn't know NFL players were ballerinas. Now, he
:14:15. > :14:19.spins with so much force if you watch right here that he actually
:14:20. > :14:25.sends the guy to the ground and not only does he sack the quarterback he
:14:26. > :14:29.knocks the ball out of his hands, creating a turnoverious ending the
:14:30. > :14:32.football game for the Cardinals. Cardinals playing great ball because
:14:33. > :14:39.they are good on offense and they are great on defense. Thank you to
:14:40. > :14:44.you both. Now, if you want to get involved - just use the #race to bow
:14:45. > :14:50.50. If you are new, we are looking to provide some answers. To our
:14:51. > :14:57.first round-up now, with a play-off place assured, Arizona were looking
:14:58. > :14:58.elsewhere to see if they would get their first NFC
:14:59. > :15:02.elsewhere to see if they would get their first NFC Western division
:15:03. > :15:10.title since 2009. Seattle were not playing ball. On Sunday, quarterback
:15:11. > :15:16.Wilson threw five touchdown passes, three to Doug. Extending their
:15:17. > :15:20.winning streak to four and leaving Baltimore wondering what hit 'em.
:15:21. > :15:28.They tightened their grip on a wild card as they eye up to a third
:15:29. > :15:32.straight Super Bowl appearance. Poor Atlanta, they spent a miserable
:15:33. > :15:38.Sunday up against an unbeaten Carolina. Ted hooking up twice early
:15:39. > :15:47.on to help Carolina cruise to 21-0 lead by the end of the first
:15:48. > :15:52.quarter. Touchdown! Finishing out 38-0 wins it seems nobody contained
:15:53. > :16:03.the Panthers who ensured that they are one of the top to seeds and will
:16:04. > :16:09.receive a first Round play-off. New Orleans swept passed the Buccaneers,
:16:10. > :16:18.receiving two touchdown passes. Tampa Bay's ambitions now hang by a
:16:19. > :16:23.thread. Just leave left to play. As well as doing this show every week,
:16:24. > :16:25.we also record a locker room hang-out which goes out online
:16:26. > :16:26.we also record a locker room hang-out which goes out online and
:16:27. > :16:34.previews the upcoming particularures. Last week, there was
:16:35. > :16:39.this. This is the game that the Panthers see their first loss of the
:16:40. > :16:44.year. Atlanta is desperate right now, lost five games in a row. They
:16:45. > :16:48.need this win to keep their slim play-off chances alive. What was
:16:49. > :16:52.that? That's the wrongest I have been in I don't know how long, man.
:16:53. > :16:58.It's a division game. It's the dangers of the job. Sometimes you
:16:59. > :17:04.make a bold prediction. Oh, my God - 38-0. I can't believe I did that.
:17:05. > :17:07.Neither can we. Hence why we brought it up again. I was so confident
:17:08. > :17:13.department too. I was so serious. Really? I was truly believing that
:17:14. > :17:18.Atlanta was going to win that game. I mean, you almost had me
:17:19. > :17:24.second-guessing my decision. NFC, just to focus on that. Really,
:17:25. > :17:29.really strong division between the top team, Cardinals and sea
:17:30. > :17:30.Seahawks. Sowna could win next week. Seattle looking to get a wild card
:17:31. > :17:40.who would you plump for Seattle looking to get a wild card
:17:41. > :17:44.play-offs? Even though I like Arizona Seattle is hot right now.
:17:45. > :17:47.The injury to the running back, that scarce me, putting a guy in there to
:17:48. > :17:51.play that kind of position for them that we don't know. But they are
:17:52. > :17:58.playing really good football right now. Arizona. Seattle are hot team
:17:59. > :18:03.right now, probably playing the best football. That runningback position
:18:04. > :18:08.for them is crushal. The offensive line, they are not able to protect
:18:09. > :18:14.Russell Wilson. If they don't run the football he will get punished.
:18:15. > :18:20.All right, we recorded both of those prodictions and will run them both
:18:21. > :18:44.next week. The Bengals entertain the Steelers. Ngals entertain the
:18:45. > :18:47.Steelers. With Ben rusk rusk back and healthy, they are chasing hard
:18:48. > :18:52.for a wild card and and healthy, they are chasing hard
:18:53. > :19:05.for a wild card and hope to depose Cincinnati at the top. One last look
:19:06. > :19:09.around. Looking down the sideline and throwing in, complete. Markus
:19:10. > :19:18.Wheaton with a catch in the first down. All of the way to the
:19:19. > :19:22.Cincinnati 40. Second and goal. In the back field, this is Williams
:19:23. > :19:29.again. To the end zone for the touchdown. Just the filth rushing
:19:30. > :19:36.touchdown allowed by the Cincinnati defense. Dalton, flips it, has the
:19:37. > :19:41.first down and more. Still on his feet. Inside the ten and out of
:19:42. > :19:46.bounds about the 7 yard line. 23 yard pick-up. With so many offensive
:19:47. > :19:50.weapons on each side, the first meeting between these two was a real
:19:51. > :19:56.anomaly. Well, both teams went down and scored on the first possession
:19:57. > :20:01.of the game. As you said, Greg, it finished up 16-10. Bengals are in a
:20:02. > :20:08.position to score their first time. A few kinds of adjustments for the
:20:09. > :20:18.defense to make. Short passes, intercepted. Number 91 the defense.
:20:19. > :20:22.And Andy Dalton taking a walk. It looks like to the locker room. They
:20:23. > :20:30.were looking at the thumb on his throwing hand and we will see if he
:20:31. > :20:35.returns shortly, if not, AJ McCarron the lucky quarterback will be on
:20:36. > :20:41.deck. In the second quarter the Steelers went on 13-play drive,
:20:42. > :20:47.ending with 42 yard field goal to make it 10-0. Boss boss added
:20:48. > :20:53.another three points on the next possession kicking over from 47
:20:54. > :20:58.yards to make it 13-0. Andy Dalton we see there out for the game with
:20:59. > :21:04.that thumb injury. AJ McCarron, for the time being is going through the
:21:05. > :21:09.concussion protocol. On to the field is AJ McCarron. His Neville life is
:21:10. > :21:15.three completions and four attempts, fifth round pick last year in the
:21:16. > :21:24.2014 craft draft. Looks like his team for the rest of the way.
:21:25. > :21:33.Shaking off two tacklers and he has got the touchdown! You don't have to
:21:34. > :21:38.be real complicated with your calling, you have one-on-one on the
:21:39. > :21:42.outside. A March March -- AJ McCarron throwing it down the
:21:43. > :21:50.sideline,blying Blake. Mitchell coming over the top to try and help.
:21:51. > :21:56.AJ McCarron's first NFL touchdown pass is a tendy 66 yards. Two
:21:57. > :22:03.Steelers' possessions later, the third field goal of the game from 45
:22:04. > :22:23.yards out to make it 16-7 going into the half-time. Intercepted.
:22:24. > :22:27.Touchdown. Pittsburgh. That is Gay's sixth career interception return
:22:28. > :22:36.touch Thursday night, that ties in with Rod for the all-time lead.
:22:37. > :22:45.Tremendous job by Gai understanding what was going to happen on this
:22:46. > :23:06.play. We have a penalty marker on the field, here's John Perry. Ere's
:23:07. > :23:11.John Perry. The Steelers hit back with yet another field goal to
:23:12. > :23:16.restore their 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter. I see
:23:17. > :23:21.another pass play coming here. If they don't make it, this is a time
:23:22. > :23:28.of the game that you have to go forward on forward. McCarron running
:23:29. > :23:37.out of time. Trying to get a way in. He goes down to the 9 yard line.
:23:38. > :23:43.Cameron Heyward with the stop. And here comes the field goal unit. I
:23:44. > :23:47.got to question this a little bit. Looks like they are bringing the
:23:48. > :23:50.field goal unit out. Instead of staying in the pocket, working
:23:51. > :23:55.through your progressions, you could see that you are not completely
:23:56. > :23:58.comfortable with it you are going 1/2 and trying to make something
:23:59. > :24:04.happen. You saw him try to step up in the pocket. That's the attempt at
:24:05. > :24:09.field goal. Down 16, they will go for three and get it. Because of the
:24:10. > :24:13.injuries in the secondary the Bengals had, it was going to be hard
:24:14. > :24:17.to cover all of the guys. As you can see by the production you just said,
:24:18. > :24:23.they have had a hard time today. Hard to cover 'em all when you are
:24:24. > :24:39.healthy. Second and fourth. Got rid of it. Down the far sideline.
:24:40. > :24:44.Intercepted! Reggie Nelson, the NFL's interception leader. And that
:24:45. > :24:49.will be number eight on the season. Under pressure that time. We talked
:24:50. > :24:53.of giving the time to work through the progressions but under heat. How
:24:54. > :24:59.to get rid of the ball. Nelson came over. So the line of scrummage back
:25:00. > :25:14.to the 18 yard line and first and 20. And the clock moving five and a
:25:15. > :25:20.half to play. McCarron, intercepted. Kicked off by Golden. Golden back
:25:21. > :25:24.inside the 20 yard line. Third interception today by the Steelers,
:25:25. > :25:29.the second off of McCarron. Karen just with the overthrow as Golden's
:25:30. > :25:36.able to get the key interception here late in the fourth quart. With
:25:37. > :25:42.5:14 to play in regulation, the Steelers looking to play this one
:25:43. > :25:48.out right here. Williams to the end zone for the touchdown. His second
:25:49. > :26:00.touchdown run of the day and his eight of the season. First and goal.
:26:01. > :26:05.McCarron throwing. Caught for the touchdown by Rex Burkhead. He has
:26:06. > :26:10.shown nice signs today, it will be interesting to see how he shows up
:26:11. > :26:14.for his next outing with a full week's worth of work. That's
:26:15. > :26:19.football right there. It's good to be in the significant ones, good to
:26:20. > :26:23.come out on top. The bottom line is to score one more point each and
:26:24. > :26:28.every Sunday or when ever we play. That's our mentality. Got some
:26:29. > :26:34.positive news based on the quarterback today, we will continue
:26:35. > :26:38.as is, he will be in the cast and basically we will go week to week
:26:39. > :26:42.with things. He won't play this week. As we move forward we will see
:26:43. > :26:46.how he is up and every week. It will be up to Andy and the doctors. It's
:26:47. > :26:50.unfortunate that of it happened at this point in the time in the
:26:51. > :26:53.season. I will get back as quickly as I can to help this team. There is
:26:54. > :26:55.people that are way worse off as I can to help this team. There is
:26:56. > :27:03.people that are way worse off than I am. We spoke before about being
:27:04. > :27:08.pessimistic and fatalstic. Even they must be slightly surprised at 9 fact
:27:09. > :27:12.that they lose their quarterback to an interception of his own. I'm
:27:13. > :27:16.worried of Cincinnati. They could overcome injuries on the defensive
:27:17. > :27:20.side. Guys can step up. When your quarterback goes down at this time
:27:21. > :27:25.of the year. On the road to the play-offs it's hard to bounce back
:27:26. > :27:30.from that. But they have the 49'ers to come and Broncos. Steelers 8-5.
:27:31. > :27:35.They are going to have enough to get into the play-offs aren't they? You
:27:36. > :27:38.would hope so. But that quarterback now, the back-up, went to Alabama
:27:39. > :27:44.and that is a problem. Why is it a problem? Why? Because no quarterback
:27:45. > :27:48.from the University of Alabama has won a game in 27 years in the NFL, I
:27:49. > :27:52.don't think it's going to happen this week. You don't think that they
:27:53. > :27:57.can beat San Francisco? I don't think so. You can't go against
:27:58. > :28:02.history. They will still think that they can catch the bangles. More
:28:03. > :28:06.action from the AFC as second round-up starts with New England.
:28:07. > :28:16.They had a play-off place within their grasp. Pop returning from
:28:17. > :28:23.injury to help New England Patriots to an easy victory over Houston
:28:24. > :28:32.Texas. A two game losing streak to guarantee New England. Indianapolis
:28:33. > :28:37.do not take advantage of the misfortune to meet Jacksonville.
:28:38. > :28:46.Rash Green started a route that let's 28 unanswered second half
:28:47. > :28:54.points. Jacksonville move within one game of the division leader. In the
:28:55. > :29:04.AFC west Denver failed in their attempt to secure the division when
:29:05. > :29:08.they went down at home. Maxwell went over five times and Oakland's
:29:09. > :29:16.Michael caught the winning touchdown. The New York Jets
:29:17. > :29:22.retained their wild card with a regulation win. Ryan Fitzgerald
:29:23. > :29:27.threw three touchdown passes to Marsh on this 49 yard effort. Into
:29:28. > :29:35.the end zone for a touchdown. What a play! Kansas extended their winning
:29:36. > :29:44.streak to seven maintaining their lead in the wild card race. Wilson
:29:45. > :29:51.grabbed the game's only touchdown as they disposed of San Diego in a
:29:52. > :30:00.tight defensive game. That will do it, the game is over! Indianapolis
:30:01. > :30:04.six and seven, Houston six and seven. They meet next week. Does the
:30:05. > :30:10.winner of that win the division? I think so. Division isn't playing
:30:11. > :30:15.well right now. Those two teams coming off of losses. I think
:30:16. > :30:19.Indianapolis will win the game. They both got problems at quarterback. We
:30:20. > :30:22.don't know who will be out there. I got to go with Houston. I think they
:30:23. > :30:28.will step it up and make of it happen. When you look at the Broncos
:30:29. > :30:31.and the defeat to Raiders how damaging could that be considering
:30:32. > :30:34.that they have got the Steelers and bangles to play over the next couple
:30:35. > :30:40.of weeks? Because it's tight between the three of them when you look at
:30:41. > :30:46.it, wild cards and division win. They have got a tough run ahead of
:30:47. > :30:52.'em. Now this is a good reason to squeeze. They are tight games. They
:30:53. > :30:58.have to get an excuse. Do you think a little bit, I mean, they won't
:30:59. > :31:04.have wanted to have lost. Do you think they will be looking for an
:31:05. > :31:09.excuse? Yeah, I mean, Payton wasn't playing well. He is not bad enough
:31:10. > :31:12.to sit him for the rest of the season like everybody said that they
:31:13. > :31:15.should. How could you do that? We are talking one of the best
:31:16. > :31:19.quarterbacks in history. This is when you need 'em right now. This is
:31:20. > :31:25.why you got 'em. He is the guy to take you deep into the play-offs.
:31:26. > :31:30.Exactly. Now, this week we visited Green Bay for the match-up with the
:31:31. > :31:36.Cowboys and a repeat from 1967. Dallas is still in with a chance of
:31:37. > :31:41.making the play-offs. They have to beat a resurging pack, still what is
:31:42. > :31:47.canning in the glory of the hail Mary win from last week. They have a
:31:48. > :31:52.history of that sort of thing. December 1967 versus Dallas, the NFL
:31:53. > :31:56.championship. Anybody who has the idea that just the play, to take
:31:57. > :31:59.part is all that's necessary is in the wrong business. I think he is in
:32:00. > :32:03.the wrong country. One of the things that made America great is to try to
:32:04. > :32:17.be the best in everything that they do. And the best again is signified
:32:18. > :32:23.by winning. The small city of Green Bay, home of the Packers, the only
:32:24. > :32:28.community-owned team in the NFL. It's a very unique franchise.
:32:29. > :32:35.370,000 shareholders. We sold out every game since the early 1960s and
:32:36. > :32:43.we have a waiting list up to 129,000 for season ticket holders. It is a
:32:44. > :32:52.unique place. It's a little town up in the north-east and 150,000
:32:53. > :32:57.people. And they take on teams from New York, Chicago, and the neat part
:32:58. > :33:04.about it is that they usually beat 'em. We all get-together, about six
:33:05. > :33:08.families, we meet at his house, we go to church on Sunday morning, come
:33:09. > :33:10.home and get ready for the game. And we do that every year.
:33:11. > :33:18.CHEERING . The far north, bleak at this time
:33:19. > :33:24.of the year. But Green Bay is warmly known as title town. The Green Bay
:33:25. > :33:28.Packers are the most successful team in NFL history. I think the
:33:29. > :33:32.advantage that we have is our great history and tradition. If you walk
:33:33. > :33:34.through the player area you see all kinds of pictures of passed
:33:35. > :33:39.championship teams, great players and coaches so that the players know
:33:40. > :33:44.that they are part of something bigger than just themselves. As a
:33:45. > :33:50.special place to be a part of this organisation in this fan base is
:33:51. > :33:51.unbelievable. We won more World Championships than any other team
:33:52. > :33:54.with 13. We are hoping Championships than any other team
:33:55. > :34:00.with 13. We are hoping to get another one soon. Wrong wrong, it's
:34:01. > :34:06.going to get there. He turned 32 yesterday. Does he have a finishing
:34:07. > :34:12.moment in him? In the end zone! For the win! A game in there for the
:34:13. > :34:17.Packers. They have got a chance. Any time you go to around wrong wrong at
:34:18. > :34:21.quarterback they have got a chance. They are going to have to play
:34:22. > :34:45.better than what they played the last couple of weeks. Ot a chance.
:34:46. > :34:48.They are going to have to play better than what they played the
:34:49. > :34:56.last couple of weeks. -- Aaron Rogers. Off the hands of Brian into
:34:57. > :35:05.the hands of Sam Shields. Good work by this Packers defense. Still no
:35:06. > :35:18.score. Now third down and four, out of the back field. Good throw.
:35:19. > :35:22.Touchdown! Expecting man coverage. And then they outflanked him. And
:35:23. > :35:29.you have got DL Lang leagued the way. Once he is able to get outside,
:35:30. > :35:37.an outstanding job. Good call for the touchdown. Sam Shields has gone
:35:38. > :35:56.in to get looked at. It could be a big loss for the Packers. Now they
:35:57. > :35:59.got the rookie in the slot. Look at the crowd he attracted in the
:36:00. > :36:02.secondary? Looked like the ball might have hit the ground right at
:36:03. > :36:06.the very end of this, Joe. Maybe there - I think that's going to be
:36:07. > :36:17.incomplete. It's a Green Bay challenge. The ruling on the field
:36:18. > :36:29.has been changed. So no catch for Des Bryant pint. And instead of the
:36:30. > :36:37.29 yarder it's fourth down. Touchdown Rogers! That hero in
:36:38. > :36:42.Detroit last Thursday night has made it 13-0. Play action makes things
:36:43. > :36:48.awful tough for defense. You overplay the run, trying to stop it.
:36:49. > :36:59.You get Rogers then into the end zone for another touchdown and
:37:00. > :37:13.consecutive weeks. Here's a little toss to fad fad over the left side.
:37:14. > :37:16.Another big one down near the 30. McFadden over the left side. Another
:37:17. > :37:25.big one down near the 30. -- McFadden. It opened up a lane then
:37:26. > :37:34.for Darren McFadden. Keeping up almost stride for stride with him
:37:35. > :38:08.too. Touchdown barely touched. And the Cowboys are back in it.
:38:09. > :38:14.Touchdown Green Bay. 78 rush yards, the last 30 right here for James.
:38:15. > :38:19.You see the centre, number 73, does a good job and then the move that
:38:20. > :38:25.Stark's moves. He has been doing it throughout the game. Inside,
:38:26. > :38:29.blocking in the run game and what a great run, great execution by that
:38:30. > :38:43.offensive line. They were good throughout that drive. Fourth and
:38:44. > :38:59.five. Quick throw, incomplete for McFadden. And the Cowboys will turn
:39:00. > :39:02.it over. He has got a touchdown. We talked about the Seahawks as z a
:39:03. > :39:06.team with experience, they start to hit their stride. I know this is one
:39:07. > :39:11.game. This is a team that not a lot of people want to face either with
:39:12. > :39:16.the experience they have playing in some big games. It's fantastic. It's
:39:17. > :39:26.the greatest feeling in the world. You can see it during the game, you
:39:27. > :39:30.saw the way, best fans in football. It's an incredible place to play,
:39:31. > :39:35.incredible organisation to be a part of. To be able to pick up a win like
:39:36. > :39:40.we did tonight is huge for our fan base. I think the weather we have
:39:41. > :39:45.been having up here, a great job to keep that in shape. Hell, 50 degrees
:39:46. > :39:45.for a December game, I think that's playing with the
:39:46. > :39:50.for a December game, I think that's playing with the lead right there.
:39:51. > :39:55.That was great. I would take that over snow any day. The teams that
:39:56. > :39:58.really start to hit their stride going into the play-offs tend to
:39:59. > :40:03.fair very well. We have three weeks left. We got to take care of
:40:04. > :40:10.business. No means have we qualified for the play-offs yet. Hopefully, we
:40:11. > :40:15.can keep it in our stride. I have got to throw a shout-out to Spurs,
:40:16. > :40:21.thank you for watching us. We'll keep trying to play well. Probably
:40:22. > :40:26.not the shout-out to Spurs after they were beaten by Newcastle.
:40:27. > :40:29.Moving swiftly on. Do you agree that they are hitting their straps and
:40:30. > :40:34.the momentum such as it is in sport is with them? They are back to
:40:35. > :40:37.running the ball. And you got to do that right now, because that's going
:40:38. > :40:41.to prepare you for the play-offs, you got to run the ball and in bad
:40:42. > :40:45.weather. There is a big change, we spoke about this, the coach called
:40:46. > :40:50.the players in that game. He hadn't been doing that earlier in the
:40:51. > :40:55.season. Absolutely. This is a guy who has his finger on the pulse of
:40:56. > :40:59.the team. Always had on the Green Bay Packers. They are running the
:41:00. > :41:02.ball a lot more, it's December like Jason said - you have to be able to
:41:03. > :41:05.pound the football in there. That's why they are winning games right
:41:06. > :41:09.now. And the weather there - once we are into the latter part of the
:41:10. > :41:13.season, that will make a big difference. You must both have
:41:14. > :41:16.experienced it. Yeah, it's hard to hold the ball, they can't throw the
:41:17. > :41:22.same. You got to be able to play in that weather and you have to be able
:41:23. > :41:25.to run the ball. 300 pounds running back, Eddie running downhill at you.
:41:26. > :41:31.Nobody wants to tackle that guy, man. Nobody. And you would also back
:41:32. > :41:37.the experience of Rogers over maybe the inexperience, if you are looking
:41:38. > :41:40.at the Vikings and Packers. True. Like you said, with Mike Carter
:41:41. > :41:46.calling the players, the commentistry is back. He has done it
:41:47. > :41:49.before in the play-offs. Time to roundup the NFC east, Dallas left
:41:50. > :41:52.the door open for the other three teams to make their mark. We start
:41:53. > :41:55.with Monday night football where teams to make their mark. We start
:41:56. > :42:01.with Monday night football where the Dolphins entertain Giants. Miami
:42:02. > :42:08.were eliminated from play-off contention. First catching a
:42:09. > :42:12.controversial 6 yard pass originally called incomplete and overcalled to
:42:13. > :42:16.tie the scores in the third quarter. No doubting this game winner,
:42:17. > :42:21.however. 84 yard for the score and leaving the New York Giants in a
:42:22. > :42:31.three-way tie for first place and handing the New England Patriots
:42:32. > :42:36.their 7th consecutive east title. On Sunday the Eagles scraped a win
:42:37. > :42:40.against the Bills after going toe-to-toe all afternoon it was an
:42:41. > :42:44.Ed Reynolds interception in the final minute that sealed the game
:42:45. > :42:49.for the homeside and kept it in the mix for the division. What a
:42:50. > :42:53.two-week turn around it has been for the Eagles going for a second
:42:54. > :43:00.straight Sunday. And Washington completed a three-way tie as they
:43:01. > :43:06.outlasted Chicago in the wind city. Although they will be thanking Rob
:43:07. > :43:18.Golden who missed a 50 yard to tie the game inside the final two
:43:19. > :43:22.minutes. I love that, you trying to put enthusiasm into your voice with
:43:23. > :43:26.the Washington win. Have they surprised you this season? They are
:43:27. > :43:32.stip topping it even though they are six and seven? No doubt about that.
:43:33. > :43:36.I first said that they would bench Robbie. Kurt has always been up and
:43:37. > :43:40.down. He doesn't always play well all of the time. I thought that they
:43:41. > :43:45.would be done. Playing the way they have been playing so far,
:43:46. > :43:49.unbelievable. How do you view the bigger pictures with the Giants,
:43:50. > :43:53.Eagles, all six and seven? I'm still running with the Giants. I thought
:43:54. > :43:57.you might. They have the best quarterback. And late in the season,
:43:58. > :44:01.on your way to the play-offs that's what you need - you have a guy out
:44:02. > :44:07.there making the throws. That's what we talked a lot about tonight - that
:44:08. > :44:11.experience and momentum. And it's the experience of Manning and the
:44:12. > :44:15.flare of Beckham Junior that means that you put them ahead of the
:44:16. > :44:19.other? Absolutely the experience. The Giants have been through this so
:44:20. > :44:22.many times before. They have been in this situation when I was there on
:44:23. > :44:25.numerous occasions and they always found a way too come through. I
:44:26. > :44:31.don't think it will be any different this year. Their quarterback is a
:44:32. > :44:38.great quarterback and they have not a rookie but in the second year. If
:44:39. > :44:43.all their games finished with a minute and a half left on the clock
:44:44. > :44:46.in the fourth quarter they would be 10-2 going into the Miami game. This
:44:47. > :44:51.would be a whole differentn't conversation wouldn't it. Yeah. I am
:44:52. > :44:55.concerned of their defense. Offensively they can make of it
:44:56. > :44:59.happen with what Manning is doing this now. I don't know who their
:45:00. > :45:03.line backers are. I don't know if they are able to hold up. They have
:45:04. > :45:08.a fallibility in the last 90 seconds. They do. This is a good
:45:09. > :45:14.football team. Like you said, they should be 11-2 right now. They are
:45:15. > :45:20.not because the game is 60 minutes not 48 and 30 seconds. Let's roundup
:45:21. > :45:32.the sights and sounds that you may have missed from Round are-week 14.
:45:33. > :45:40.-- from Week 14. One point or 20 points, babe yeefl. That's what
:45:41. > :45:43.we're talking about. This one is for you, man.
:45:44. > :45:53.CHEERING . Coach, you get two days off next
:45:54. > :46:00.week. I can't be prouder of a group of guys. We need some music playing
:46:01. > :46:10.soon, I want to see you guys dance. All right, let's get a break. So as
:46:11. > :46:15.we round out-week 14 in the NFC, Carolina won, Arizona are in, having
:46:16. > :46:19.claimed at least a wild card. Green Bay are now a game ahead in the
:46:20. > :46:21.north. And Washington narrowly head the east as the other division
:46:22. > :46:25.leaders. The Seahawks and the the east as the other division
:46:26. > :46:31.leaders. The Seahawks and the minutes Vikings are the two wild
:46:32. > :46:39.cards. Headed by Tampa Bay, deright and San Francisco now officially
:46:40. > :46:43.out. Other in the AFC new-grand are champions, regaining their position
:46:44. > :46:47.-- New England. And Indianapolis complete the division leaders.
:46:48. > :46:53.Kansas City and the New York Jets are in the wild card slots but
:46:54. > :46:59.Pittsburgh are knocking on the door. Cincinnati north to the north
:47:00. > :46:59.division crown. San Diego, Baltimore,
:47:00. > :47:00.Cincinnati north to the north division crown. San Diego,
:47:01. > :47:05.Baltimore, Miami, are all out of contention. Let's finish with a
:47:06. > :47:10.little bit of social media. I'm going to do the NFL rookie one
:47:11. > :47:16.here." Probably a daft question - what's the average time taken to
:47:17. > :47:23.complete an NFL game"? No such thing as a daft question. We encourage
:47:24. > :47:32.any. Three hours usually, depending on how many commercials. If you are
:47:33. > :47:36.a Giants fan don't have a go at me please. Just a couple of pictures.
:47:37. > :47:40.The second oldest coach in the NFL has climbed up on the lockers to
:47:41. > :47:47.celebrate their win. I have no idea what he is doing? I hope he has got
:47:48. > :47:52.good insurance. Locker survey. Thank you very much to to both of you yet
:47:53. > :48:00.again. Another week gone. Week 14 wrapped up, just three games to the
:48:01. > :48:07.end of the regular season. Mike Carlson will be on from 7:30 on
:48:08. > :48:13.Sunday. The game kicks off at 9:00. From all of us, goodbye. The regular
:48:14. > :48:17.season is not without its irregularities, the whole business
:48:18. > :48:23.of the NFL comes with a complication of two conferences - eight
:48:24. > :48:28.divisions, winners, wild cards, justling to make progress, to make
:48:29. > :48:34.the play-offs. The whole process comes with stress, strain and pain.
:48:35. > :48:39.The Broncos, the Bengals, and recoveries. The New England
:48:40. > :48:44.Patriots, it can be a rare old scrambling. Or it can be simplicity
:48:45. > :48:48.in itself. There is nothing more straightforward than winning, time
:48:49. > :48:54.after time, the Panthers staying on the road. It is a Panthers win. For
:48:55. > :48:56.most, it remains a complex drama. Next week, more twists and turns in
:48:57. > :49:03.the race to Super Bowl 50.
