from the start. Touchdown! Unbelievable! The Patriots, the NFL

:00:18.:00:33.

champions. Hello, it's NFL Week 14. And there are plenty of play-off

:00:34.:00:44.

places up for grabs. In the NFC, Carolina are the south division

:00:45.:00:48.

champions and guaranteed a play-off place. Arizona, Washington are the

:00:49.:00:54.

other division leaders. Minnesota and Seattle are our wild cards with

:00:55.:01:00.

Tampa Bay and Atlanta looking on. In Week there was all change, division

:01:01.:01:06.

leaders Denver became the top, looking for a bye on wild card

:01:07.:01:13.

weekend. New England dropped and end plots are the other division leader.

:01:14.:01:19.

The Chiefs occupy the wild card, Pittsburgh, buffalo and Houston away

:01:20.:01:27.

-- await any slip-ups. Of the 32 teams that started the race to bow

:01:28.:01:33.

0, only Cleveland had been eliminating going into Week 14.

:01:34.:01:38.

Jason Bell is here and we begin with two teams from the NFC with

:01:39.:01:41.

everything to two teams from the NFC with

:01:42.:01:46.

everything to play for. You stand six feet five-inches tall, his left

:01:47.:01:49.

knee has been reconstructed twice. His career has had moment of

:01:50.:01:57.

controversy and he will soon be 36. The quarterback Palmer is leading

:01:58.:02:03.

the Cardinals towards the play-offs. Week 14 in their home in Phoenix.

:02:04.:02:08.

The vikings too have a controversial star. Running back Aiden Peterson,

:02:09.:02:36.

with play yachts. We talked last night, and the look in his eye, how

:02:37.:02:40.

stern he was. I asked, "Would you take this out" and he said, "Yes,

:02:41.:02:46.

but blocking on the right sides." Second and one from the nine. And

:02:47.:02:55.

it's Peters. What a run! Peters to the end zone for the touchdown. A

:02:56.:03:06.

little shaken has Mathieson. And that's his 100th career touchdown.

:03:07.:03:12.

Well, he said, "I'm going to be pretty fresh tonight" is what he

:03:13.:03:16.

said last night. He said, "I carried it so little last week." And of

:03:17.:03:21.

course his determination and pride. One side cut two, so he went left,

:03:22.:03:25.

left, back to the right, both tackles. Not only did he have a

:03:26.:03:32.

great series, a lot of credit to the offensive line. They are coming

:03:33.:03:37.

after Palmer, he steps away from the heat. On the line he finds Jonathan

:03:38.:03:42.

Brown. Out of a tackle, is he going to take it to the end zone for the

:03:43.:03:47.

touchdown? There was the speed that you talked before! 65 yards to

:03:48.:03:53.

Jonathan Brown. Here comes the pressure from the right, our left,

:03:54.:03:59.

it's Robinson and Jonathan Brown, couldn't adjust. And you are right,

:04:00.:04:07.

the speed, it's undeniable. The only point of score in the second quarter

:04:08.:04:14.

came from vikings kicker Brad Wahlberg, the 44 yard, tying it at

:04:15.:04:29.

10-10 going into half-time. Vikings kicker Brad Wahlberg, the 44 yard,

:04:30.:04:31.

tying it at 10-10 going into half-time. They were in on Peters,

:04:32.:04:37.

so far he was not able to execute the trick play. Third and eight.

:04:38.:04:46.

Stepping up and winding an open man. And he gets passed the traffic for

:04:47.:04:51.

the touchdown! Larry Fitzgerald throw as block for him and then

:04:52.:04:56.

comes and celebrates. Watch to the right, you can see the other

:04:57.:05:01.

defenders run into the inside. Palmer, look at that, two open

:05:02.:05:06.

uncovered reseveres to the right. Does that say it alaboutlar

:05:07.:05:10.

Fitzgerald. A run game, a pass game, remendus. Palmer now has the Arizona

:05:11.:05:18.

record alone. His 31st touchdown pass of the year. Early in the

:05:19.:05:23.

fourth quarter the Cardinals put together a 16-play drive that

:05:24.:05:29.

stalled in the red zone and ended with 23 yards Chanderpual field

:05:30.:05:36.

goal. The Vikings responded on their next possession with 54-year-old

:05:37.:05:50.

goal from Wahlberg to make it 2013. -- with a 54 yard. A Lordship going

:05:51.:05:56.

inside. La and there is nowhere to go. On the outside that was ant

:05:57.:06:02.

Harris,iesing it in there - just good by Harris. Third and nine.

:06:03.:06:09.

Missed one of those for each side now. Blitz, pass, got to make a move

:06:10.:06:15.

and does! That's back to the inside. And then speeds it up to about the

:06:16.:06:22.

24. Nobody in the middle of the field, here comes the line backers,

:06:23.:06:31.

nobody is underneath. And first and 20. They love these play actions and

:06:32.:06:46.

it's a late release by Lyons and he just lowers ahead and everybody goes

:06:47.:06:49.

for the big hit. Nobody got their arms out. To wrap him up, that's why

:06:50.:06:54.

he rumbled down there for the few extra yards. We have five minutes

:06:55.:06:58.

left in the game. What were they doing? Let's see first though. This

:06:59.:07:02.

pivotal play. doing? Let's see first though. This

:07:03.:07:14.

territory. Third and goal. To the end zone for the touchdown? Mike

:07:15.:07:22.

Wallace. All out blitz. But Ted Shoebridge did a good job. Coming

:07:23.:07:27.

all of the way across the field. Watch, everybody. Blitz and boy you

:07:28.:07:32.

can't just fight your way through it, that's the problem when you are

:07:33.:07:37.

blitzing, and Teddy said it last night, we will have players cross

:07:38.:07:41.

the field and we saw a couple of big plays because of that. From here,

:07:42.:07:47.

they don't gain anything it would be 47 yards. And it's incomplete. There

:07:48.:07:57.

were two Cardinals in the area. Fitzgerald almost came down with it

:07:58.:08:01.

but Nicholas was making a play at the same time. It looked like a

:08:02.:08:05.

little confusion. But this is a play they love. Really didn't know who he

:08:06.:08:11.

was throwing the football to, tolar Fitzgerald. Well, the end completion

:08:12.:08:21.

stops the clock with 128 to go and brings out Canensero. Second year,

:08:22.:08:29.

look at this kid. Dead perfect. Last time the Vikings won a road game,

:08:30.:08:32.

trailing by at least ten in the fourth quarter. Goes all of the way

:08:33.:08:37.

back to 1985 when they beat the Eagles. They were actually trailing

:08:38.:08:41.

23-0 in the fourth quarter that game before winning. This is a team that

:08:42.:08:46.

has won four consecutive on the road. Vikings need about 35 yards to

:08:47.:08:56.

get Blair Wahlberg a chance. They have to go the rest of the way

:08:57.:09:08.

without a time-out. Lsh a chance. They have to go the rest of the way

:09:09.:09:12.

without a time-out. Last week the Vikings watched as Green Bay pulled

:09:13.:09:20.

off the hail Mary at Detroit. You can imagine, they are watching this

:09:21.:09:27.

one. In the north, and suddenly the Vikings are in range, field goal

:09:28.:09:33.

range that is, as Wright makes the catch. You cannot, again, throw it

:09:34.:09:53.

in the field of play. The ball comes out. Was it a pass or a fumble?

:09:54.:10:01.

Ruling on the field is a fumble and recovery by Campese. It was Preeney

:10:02.:10:08.

who hit him. Where has he been all night? He has been resting for just

:10:09.:10:16.

this situation. They all said to me, this Cardinals team, when he gets in

:10:17.:10:20.

the game, he is going to set it up and use the spin move, second time

:10:21.:10:26.

he used it, the second time a charm, causes the fumble. And wins the

:10:27.:10:32.

game. We were trying to throw the ball to the sideline. We told 'em,

:10:33.:10:38.

"Can't complete the ball in bounds because 12, 13 seconds is right at

:10:39.:10:42.

the time that you can spike the ball and get the clock stopped." Would

:10:43.:10:48.

you think strongly of possibly kicking? Yeah, I thought about it. I

:10:49.:10:53.

thought about a lot of things, the ball in the end zone, we were trying

:10:54.:10:59.

to get closer. We are in the play-offs, don't know where or when,

:11:00.:11:04.

but we are in. And we always take great pride in that to win twice

:11:05.:11:11.

against two very physical fronts, I'm pleased with that. Just felt

:11:12.:11:16.

like a weird game, you know, they had all of these guys injured,

:11:17.:11:20.

playing corners at safety and weird stuff, you weren't quite sure what

:11:21.:11:24.

they would get. They couldn't do what they wanted to do and we

:11:25.:11:28.

practised all week. You get to the game, you don't know who is active

:11:29.:11:33.

until last night, you know, or yesterday we found out a bunch of

:11:34.:11:37.

guys are down and you start to prepare for different things. It

:11:38.:11:41.

shows a lot about this team, how well we are coached and prepared.

:11:42.:11:47.

One of the best teams in the NFL right now, what makes them so great?

:11:48.:11:51.

They are good on offense and good on defense. And we will show you why.

:11:52.:11:59.

Palmer, he is my comeback player of the year and I'm going to tell you

:12:00.:12:04.

why right now. He came off of knee injury, bounced back, is playing

:12:05.:12:07.

unbelievable football. I am going to show you what makes a good veteran

:12:08.:12:11.

quarterback. Now, let's pause that right there. You see Palmer, he has

:12:12.:12:16.

got the rush coming on. Let's go to slow motion. As you see, the

:12:17.:12:20.

pressure coming to the outside, he doesn't look at

:12:21.:12:21.

pressure coming to the outside, he doesn't look at the pressure, he

:12:22.:12:24.

feels the pressure. He steps up the field and delivers. That's the key.

:12:25.:12:27.

Young guys would look at the pressure. He doesn't look at it, he

:12:28.:12:32.

delivers the ball to Jonathan Brown and you see the outcome. Whoa John

:12:33.:12:36.

brown running like he stole something just there. And this guy

:12:37.:12:40.

right here. This guy is amazing.lar Fitzgerald. Youngest player to 1,000

:12:41.:12:46.

receptions. All professional, future Hall of Famer. The one thing that he

:12:47.:12:50.

doesn't have is a championship. Now, as you seize this route up top.

:12:51.:12:55.

These two guys actually messed up and ran the wrong route. As you see

:12:56.:12:59.

this happenlar Fitzgerald, wait until you see this up close. This is

:13:00.:13:05.

what a guy who wants to win a championship does. He leads blocks

:13:06.:13:09.

and he puts this guy on his back. That guy wants a ring. He will do

:13:10.:13:15.

anything to win. No, no, no. He didn't put him on his back. He put

:13:16.:13:21.

him on his knee. You know what the name is for the jersey right here.

:13:22.:13:24.

Watch where he puts this. You don't want your family to see that. No,

:13:25.:13:29.

no. Your parents have to see that. Whoa what a play bylar Fitzgerald.

:13:30.:13:34.

That guy wants to win. He wants to win bad. And now we are going to

:13:35.:13:39.

talk about the pass rush. Now, if you were paying attention last week

:13:40.:13:43.

- I remember saying something like, "In the two minutes that's when

:13:44.:13:47.

games are won and lost in the NFL." True. Watch what happens here. You

:13:48.:13:55.

have the ageless wonder. He has been speed rushing, running up the field,

:13:56.:14:02.

giving it all. What does he do here? Does he speed rush? Oh, no it's the

:14:03.:14:10.

spin move. We didn't know NFL players were ballerinas. Now, he

:14:11.:14:14.

spins with so much force if you watch right here that he actually

:14:15.:14:19.

sends the guy to the ground and not only does he sack the quarterback he

:14:20.:14:25.

knocks the ball out of his hands, creating a turnoverious ending the

:14:26.:14:29.

football game for the Cardinals. Cardinals playing great ball because

:14:30.:14:32.

they are good on offense and they are great on defense. Thank you to

:14:33.:14:39.

you both. Now, if you want to get involved - just use the #race to bow

:14:40.:14:44.

50. If you are new, we are looking to provide some answers. To our

:14:45.:14:50.

first round-up now, with a play-off place assured, Arizona were looking

:14:51.:14:57.

elsewhere to see if they would get their first NFC

:14:58.:14:58.

elsewhere to see if they would get their first NFC Western division

:14:59.:15:02.

title since 2009. Seattle were not playing ball. On Sunday, quarterback

:15:03.:15:10.

Wilson threw five touchdown passes, three to Doug. Extending their

:15:11.:15:16.

winning streak to four and leaving Baltimore wondering what hit 'em.

:15:17.:15:20.

They tightened their grip on a wild card as they eye up to a third

:15:21.:15:28.

straight Super Bowl appearance. Poor Atlanta, they spent a miserable

:15:29.:15:32.

Sunday up against an unbeaten Carolina. Ted hooking up twice early

:15:33.:15:38.

on to help Carolina cruise to 21-0 lead by the end of the first

:15:39.:15:47.

quarter. Touchdown! Finishing out 38-0 wins it seems nobody contained

:15:48.:15:52.

the Panthers who ensured that they are one of the top to seeds and will

:15:53.:16:03.

receive a first Round play-off. New Orleans swept passed the Buccaneers,

:16:04.:16:09.

receiving two touchdown passes. Tampa Bay's ambitions now hang by a

:16:10.:16:18.

thread. Just leave left to play. As well as doing this show every week,

:16:19.:16:23.

we also record a locker room hang-out which goes out online

:16:24.:16:25.

we also record a locker room hang-out which goes out online and

:16:26.:16:26.

previews the upcoming particularures. Last week, there was

:16:27.:16:34.

this. This is the game that the Panthers see their first loss of the

:16:35.:16:39.

year. Atlanta is desperate right now, lost five games in a row. They

:16:40.:16:44.

need this win to keep their slim play-off chances alive. What was

:16:45.:16:48.

that? That's the wrongest I have been in I don't know how long, man.

:16:49.:16:52.

It's a division game. It's the dangers of the job. Sometimes you

:16:53.:16:58.

make a bold prediction. Oh, my God - 38-0. I can't believe I did that.

:16:59.:17:04.

Neither can we. Hence why we brought it up again. I was so confident

:17:05.:17:07.

department too. I was so serious. Really? I was truly believing that

:17:08.:17:13.

Atlanta was going to win that game. I mean, you almost had me

:17:14.:17:18.

second-guessing my decision. NFC, just to focus on that. Really,

:17:19.:17:24.

really strong division between the top team, Cardinals and sea

:17:25.:17:29.

Seahawks. Sowna could win next week. Seattle looking to get a wild card

:17:30.:17:30.

who would you plump for Seattle looking to get a wild card

:17:31.:17:40.

play-offs? Even though I like Arizona Seattle is hot right now.

:17:41.:17:44.

The injury to the running back, that scarce me, putting a guy in there to

:17:45.:17:47.

play that kind of position for them that we don't know. But they are

:17:48.:17:51.

playing really good football right now. Arizona. Seattle are hot team

:17:52.:17:58.

right now, probably playing the best football. That runningback position

:17:59.:18:03.

for them is crushal. The offensive line, they are not able to protect

:18:04.:18:08.

Russell Wilson. If they don't run the football he will get punished.

:18:09.:18:14.

All right, we recorded both of those prodictions and will run them both

:18:15.:18:20.

next week. The Bengals entertain the Steelers. Ngals entertain the

:18:21.:18:44.

Steelers. With Ben rusk rusk back and healthy, they are chasing hard

:18:45.:18:47.

for a wild card and and healthy, they are chasing hard

:18:48.:18:52.

for a wild card and hope to depose Cincinnati at the top. One last look

:18:53.:19:05.

around. Looking down the sideline and throwing in, complete. Markus

:19:06.:19:09.

Wheaton with a catch in the first down. All of the way to the

:19:10.:19:18.

Cincinnati 40. Second and goal. In the back field, this is Williams

:19:19.:19:22.

again. To the end zone for the touchdown. Just the filth rushing

:19:23.:19:29.

touchdown allowed by the Cincinnati defense. Dalton, flips it, has the

:19:30.:19:36.

first down and more. Still on his feet. Inside the ten and out of

:19:37.:19:41.

bounds about the 7 yard line. 23 yard pick-up. With so many offensive

:19:42.:19:46.

weapons on each side, the first meeting between these two was a real

:19:47.:19:50.

anomaly. Well, both teams went down and scored on the first possession

:19:51.:19:56.

of the game. As you said, Greg, it finished up 16-10. Bengals are in a

:19:57.:20:01.

position to score their first time. A few kinds of adjustments for the

:20:02.:20:08.

defense to make. Short passes, intercepted. Number 91 the defense.

:20:09.:20:18.

And Andy Dalton taking a walk. It looks like to the locker room. They

:20:19.:20:22.

were looking at the thumb on his throwing hand and we will see if he

:20:23.:20:30.

returns shortly, if not, AJ McCarron the lucky quarterback will be on

:20:31.:20:35.

deck. In the second quarter the Steelers went on 13-play drive,

:20:36.:20:41.

ending with 42 yard field goal to make it 10-0. Boss boss added

:20:42.:20:47.

another three points on the next possession kicking over from 47

:20:48.:20:53.

yards to make it 13-0. Andy Dalton we see there out for the game with

:20:54.:20:58.

that thumb injury. AJ McCarron, for the time being is going through the

:20:59.:21:04.

concussion protocol. On to the field is AJ McCarron. His Neville life is

:21:05.:21:09.

three completions and four attempts, fifth round pick last year in the

:21:10.:21:15.

2014 craft draft. Looks like his team for the rest of the way.

:21:16.:21:24.

Shaking off two tacklers and he has got the touchdown! You don't have to

:21:25.:21:33.

be real complicated with your calling, you have one-on-one on the

:21:34.:21:38.

outside. A March March -- AJ McCarron throwing it down the

:21:39.:21:42.

sideline,blying Blake. Mitchell coming over the top to try and help.

:21:43.:21:50.

AJ McCarron's first NFL touchdown pass is a tendy 66 yards. Two

:21:51.:21:56.

Steelers' possessions later, the third field goal of the game from 45

:21:57.:22:03.

yards out to make it 16-7 going into the half-time. Intercepted.

:22:04.:22:23.

Touchdown. Pittsburgh. That is Gay's sixth career interception return

:22:24.:22:27.

touch Thursday night, that ties in with Rod for the all-time lead.

:22:28.:22:36.

Tremendous job by Gai understanding what was going to happen on this

:22:37.:22:45.

play. We have a penalty marker on the field, here's John Perry. Ere's

:22:46.:23:06.

John Perry. The Steelers hit back with yet another field goal to

:23:07.:23:11.

restore their 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter. I see

:23:12.:23:16.

another pass play coming here. If they don't make it, this is a time

:23:17.:23:21.

of the game that you have to go forward on forward. McCarron running

:23:22.:23:28.

out of time. Trying to get a way in. He goes down to the 9 yard line.

:23:29.:23:37.

Cameron Heyward with the stop. And here comes the field goal unit. I

:23:38.:23:43.

got to question this a little bit. Looks like they are bringing the

:23:44.:23:47.

field goal unit out. Instead of staying in the pocket, working

:23:48.:23:50.

through your progressions, you could see that you are not completely

:23:51.:23:55.

comfortable with it you are going 1/2 and trying to make something

:23:56.:23:58.

happen. You saw him try to step up in the pocket. That's the attempt at

:23:59.:24:04.

field goal. Down 16, they will go for three and get it. Because of the

:24:05.:24:09.

injuries in the secondary the Bengals had, it was going to be hard

:24:10.:24:13.

to cover all of the guys. As you can see by the production you just said,

:24:14.:24:17.

they have had a hard time today. Hard to cover 'em all when you are

:24:18.:24:23.

healthy. Second and fourth. Got rid of it. Down the far sideline.

:24:24.:24:39.

Intercepted! Reggie Nelson, the NFL's interception leader. And that

:24:40.:24:44.

will be number eight on the season. Under pressure that time. We talked

:24:45.:24:49.

of giving the time to work through the progressions but under heat. How

:24:50.:24:53.

to get rid of the ball. Nelson came over. So the line of scrummage back

:24:54.:24:59.

to the 18 yard line and first and 20. And the clock moving five and a

:25:00.:25:14.

half to play. McCarron, intercepted. Kicked off by Golden. Golden back

:25:15.:25:20.

inside the 20 yard line. Third interception today by the Steelers,

:25:21.:25:24.

the second off of McCarron. Karen just with the overthrow as Golden's

:25:25.:25:29.

able to get the key interception here late in the fourth quart. With

:25:30.:25:36.

5:14 to play in regulation, the Steelers looking to play this one

:25:37.:25:42.

out right here. Williams to the end zone for the touchdown. His second

:25:43.:25:48.

touchdown run of the day and his eight of the season. First and goal.

:25:49.:26:00.

McCarron throwing. Caught for the touchdown by Rex Burkhead. He has

:26:01.:26:05.

shown nice signs today, it will be interesting to see how he shows up

:26:06.:26:10.

for his next outing with a full week's worth of work. That's

:26:11.:26:14.

football right there. It's good to be in the significant ones, good to

:26:15.:26:19.

come out on top. The bottom line is to score one more point each and

:26:20.:26:23.

every Sunday or when ever we play. That's our mentality. Got some

:26:24.:26:28.

positive news based on the quarterback today, we will continue

:26:29.:26:34.

as is, he will be in the cast and basically we will go week to week

:26:35.:26:38.

with things. He won't play this week. As we move forward we will see

:26:39.:26:42.

how he is up and every week. It will be up to Andy and the doctors. It's

:26:43.:26:46.

unfortunate that of it happened at this point in the time in the

:26:47.:26:50.

season. I will get back as quickly as I can to help this team. There is

:26:51.:26:53.

people that are way worse off as I can to help this team. There is

:26:54.:26:55.

people that are way worse off than I am. We spoke before about being

:26:56.:27:03.

pessimistic and fatalstic. Even they must be slightly surprised at 9 fact

:27:04.:27:08.

that they lose their quarterback to an interception of his own. I'm

:27:09.:27:12.

worried of Cincinnati. They could overcome injuries on the defensive

:27:13.:27:16.

side. Guys can step up. When your quarterback goes down at this time

:27:17.:27:20.

of the year. On the road to the play-offs it's hard to bounce back

:27:21.:27:25.

from that. But they have the 49'ers to come and Broncos. Steelers 8-5.

:27:26.:27:30.

They are going to have enough to get into the play-offs aren't they? You

:27:31.:27:35.

would hope so. But that quarterback now, the back-up, went to Alabama

:27:36.:27:38.

and that is a problem. Why is it a problem? Why? Because no quarterback

:27:39.:27:44.

from the University of Alabama has won a game in 27 years in the NFL, I

:27:45.:27:48.

don't think it's going to happen this week. You don't think that they

:27:49.:27:52.

can beat San Francisco? I don't think so. You can't go against

:27:53.:27:57.

history. They will still think that they can catch the bangles. More

:27:58.:28:02.

action from the AFC as second round-up starts with New England.

:28:03.:28:06.

They had a play-off place within their grasp. Pop returning from

:28:07.:28:16.

injury to help New England Patriots to an easy victory over Houston

:28:17.:28:23.

Texas. A two game losing streak to guarantee New England. Indianapolis

:28:24.:28:32.

do not take advantage of the misfortune to meet Jacksonville.

:28:33.:28:37.

Rash Green started a route that let's 28 unanswered second half

:28:38.:28:46.

points. Jacksonville move within one game of the division leader. In the

:28:47.:28:54.

AFC west Denver failed in their attempt to secure the division when

:28:55.:29:04.

they went down at home. Maxwell went over five times and Oakland's

:29:05.:29:08.

Michael caught the winning touchdown. The New York Jets

:29:09.:29:16.

retained their wild card with a regulation win. Ryan Fitzgerald

:29:17.:29:22.

threw three touchdown passes to Marsh on this 49 yard effort. Into

:29:23.:29:27.

the end zone for a touchdown. What a play! Kansas extended their winning

:29:28.:29:35.

streak to seven maintaining their lead in the wild card race. Wilson

:29:36.:29:44.

grabbed the game's only touchdown as they disposed of San Diego in a

:29:45.:29:51.

tight defensive game. That will do it, the game is over! Indianapolis

:29:52.:30:00.

six and seven, Houston six and seven. They meet next week. Does the

:30:01.:30:04.

winner of that win the division? I think so. Division isn't playing

:30:05.:30:10.

well right now. Those two teams coming off of losses. I think

:30:11.:30:15.

Indianapolis will win the game. They both got problems at quarterback. We

:30:16.:30:19.

don't know who will be out there. I got to go with Houston. I think they

:30:20.:30:22.

will step it up and make of it happen. When you look at the Broncos

:30:23.:30:28.

and the defeat to Raiders how damaging could that be considering

:30:29.:30:31.

that they have got the Steelers and bangles to play over the next couple

:30:32.:30:34.

of weeks? Because it's tight between the three of them when you look at

:30:35.:30:40.

it, wild cards and division win. They have got a tough run ahead of

:30:41.:30:46.

'em. Now this is a good reason to squeeze. They are tight games. They

:30:47.:30:52.

have to get an excuse. Do you think a little bit, I mean, they won't

:30:53.:30:58.

have wanted to have lost. Do you think they will be looking for an

:30:59.:31:04.

excuse? Yeah, I mean, Payton wasn't playing well. He is not bad enough

:31:05.:31:09.

to sit him for the rest of the season like everybody said that they

:31:10.:31:12.

should. How could you do that? We are talking one of the best

:31:13.:31:15.

quarterbacks in history. This is when you need 'em right now. This is

:31:16.:31:19.

why you got 'em. He is the guy to take you deep into the play-offs.

:31:20.:31:25.

Exactly. Now, this week we visited Green Bay for the match-up with the

:31:26.:31:30.

Cowboys and a repeat from 1967. Dallas is still in with a chance of

:31:31.:31:36.

making the play-offs. They have to beat a resurging pack, still what is

:31:37.:31:41.

canning in the glory of the hail Mary win from last week. They have a

:31:42.:31:47.

history of that sort of thing. December 1967 versus Dallas, the NFL

:31:48.:31:52.

championship. Anybody who has the idea that just the play, to take

:31:53.:31:56.

part is all that's necessary is in the wrong business. I think he is in

:31:57.:31:59.

the wrong country. One of the things that made America great is to try to

:32:00.:32:03.

be the best in everything that they do. And the best again is signified

:32:04.:32:17.

by winning. The small city of Green Bay, home of the Packers, the only

:32:18.:32:23.

community-owned team in the NFL. It's a very unique franchise.

:32:24.:32:28.

370,000 shareholders. We sold out every game since the early 1960s and

:32:29.:32:35.

we have a waiting list up to 129,000 for season ticket holders. It is a

:32:36.:32:43.

unique place. It's a little town up in the north-east and 150,000

:32:44.:32:52.

people. And they take on teams from New York, Chicago, and the neat part

:32:53.:32:57.

about it is that they usually beat 'em. We all get-together, about six

:32:58.:33:04.

families, we meet at his house, we go to church on Sunday morning, come

:33:05.:33:08.

home and get ready for the game. And we do that every year.

:33:09.:33:10.

CHEERING . The far north, bleak at this time

:33:11.:33:18.

of the year. But Green Bay is warmly known as title town. The Green Bay

:33:19.:33:24.

Packers are the most successful team in NFL history. I think the

:33:25.:33:28.

advantage that we have is our great history and tradition. If you walk

:33:29.:33:32.

through the player area you see all kinds of pictures of passed

:33:33.:33:34.

championship teams, great players and coaches so that the players know

:33:35.:33:39.

that they are part of something bigger than just themselves. As a

:33:40.:33:44.

special place to be a part of this organisation in this fan base is

:33:45.:33:50.

unbelievable. We won more World Championships than any other team

:33:51.:33:51.

with 13. We are hoping Championships than any other team

:33:52.:33:54.

with 13. We are hoping to get another one soon. Wrong wrong, it's

:33:55.:34:00.

going to get there. He turned 32 yesterday. Does he have a finishing

:34:01.:34:06.

moment in him? In the end zone! For the win! A game in there for the

:34:07.:34:12.

Packers. They have got a chance. Any time you go to around wrong wrong at

:34:13.:34:17.

quarterback they have got a chance. They are going to have to play

:34:18.:34:21.

better than what they played the last couple of weeks. Ot a chance.

:34:22.:34:45.

They are going to have to play better than what they played the

:34:46.:34:48.

last couple of weeks. -- Aaron Rogers. Off the hands of Brian into

:34:49.:34:56.

the hands of Sam Shields. Good work by this Packers defense. Still no

:34:57.:35:05.

score. Now third down and four, out of the back field. Good throw.

:35:06.:35:18.

Touchdown! Expecting man coverage. And then they outflanked him. And

:35:19.:35:22.

you have got DL Lang leagued the way. Once he is able to get outside,

:35:23.:35:29.

an outstanding job. Good call for the touchdown. Sam Shields has gone

:35:30.:35:37.

in to get looked at. It could be a big loss for the Packers. Now they

:35:38.:35:56.

got the rookie in the slot. Look at the crowd he attracted in the

:35:57.:35:59.

secondary? Looked like the ball might have hit the ground right at

:36:00.:36:02.

the very end of this, Joe. Maybe there - I think that's going to be

:36:03.:36:06.

incomplete. It's a Green Bay challenge. The ruling on the field

:36:07.:36:17.

has been changed. So no catch for Des Bryant pint. And instead of the

:36:18.:36:29.

29 yarder it's fourth down. Touchdown Rogers! That hero in

:36:30.:36:37.

Detroit last Thursday night has made it 13-0. Play action makes things

:36:38.:36:42.

awful tough for defense. You overplay the run, trying to stop it.

:36:43.:36:48.

You get Rogers then into the end zone for another touchdown and

:36:49.:36:59.

consecutive weeks. Here's a little toss to fad fad over the left side.

:37:00.:37:13.

Another big one down near the 30. McFadden over the left side. Another

:37:14.:37:16.

big one down near the 30. -- McFadden. It opened up a lane then

:37:17.:37:25.

for Darren McFadden. Keeping up almost stride for stride with him

:37:26.:37:34.

too. Touchdown barely touched. And the Cowboys are back in it.

:37:35.:38:08.

Touchdown Green Bay. 78 rush yards, the last 30 right here for James.

:38:09.:38:14.

You see the centre, number 73, does a good job and then the move that

:38:15.:38:19.

Stark's moves. He has been doing it throughout the game. Inside,

:38:20.:38:25.

blocking in the run game and what a great run, great execution by that

:38:26.:38:29.

offensive line. They were good throughout that drive. Fourth and

:38:30.:38:43.

five. Quick throw, incomplete for McFadden. And the Cowboys will turn

:38:44.:38:59.

it over. He has got a touchdown. We talked about the Seahawks as z a

:39:00.:39:02.

team with experience, they start to hit their stride. I know this is one

:39:03.:39:06.

game. This is a team that not a lot of people want to face either with

:39:07.:39:11.

the experience they have playing in some big games. It's fantastic. It's

:39:12.:39:16.

the greatest feeling in the world. You can see it during the game, you

:39:17.:39:26.

saw the way, best fans in football. It's an incredible place to play,

:39:27.:39:30.

incredible organisation to be a part of. To be able to pick up a win like

:39:31.:39:35.

we did tonight is huge for our fan base. I think the weather we have

:39:36.:39:40.

been having up here, a great job to keep that in shape. Hell, 50 degrees

:39:41.:39:45.

for a December game, I think that's playing with the

:39:46.:39:45.

for a December game, I think that's playing with the lead right there.

:39:46.:39:50.

That was great. I would take that over snow any day. The teams that

:39:51.:39:55.

really start to hit their stride going into the play-offs tend to

:39:56.:39:58.

fair very well. We have three weeks left. We got to take care of

:39:59.:40:03.

business. No means have we qualified for the play-offs yet. Hopefully, we

:40:04.:40:10.

can keep it in our stride. I have got to throw a shout-out to Spurs,

:40:11.:40:15.

thank you for watching us. We'll keep trying to play well. Probably

:40:16.:40:21.

not the shout-out to Spurs after they were beaten by Newcastle.

:40:22.:40:26.

Moving swiftly on. Do you agree that they are hitting their straps and

:40:27.:40:29.

the momentum such as it is in sport is with them? They are back to

:40:30.:40:34.

running the ball. And you got to do that right now, because that's going

:40:35.:40:37.

to prepare you for the play-offs, you got to run the ball and in bad

:40:38.:40:41.

weather. There is a big change, we spoke about this, the coach called

:40:42.:40:45.

the players in that game. He hadn't been doing that earlier in the

:40:46.:40:50.

season. Absolutely. This is a guy who has his finger on the pulse of

:40:51.:40:55.

the team. Always had on the Green Bay Packers. They are running the

:40:56.:40:59.

ball a lot more, it's December like Jason said - you have to be able to

:41:00.:41:02.

pound the football in there. That's why they are winning games right

:41:03.:41:05.

now. And the weather there - once we are into the latter part of the

:41:06.:41:09.

season, that will make a big difference. You must both have

:41:10.:41:13.

experienced it. Yeah, it's hard to hold the ball, they can't throw the

:41:14.:41:16.

same. You got to be able to play in that weather and you have to be able

:41:17.:41:22.

to run the ball. 300 pounds running back, Eddie running downhill at you.

:41:23.:41:25.

Nobody wants to tackle that guy, man. Nobody. And you would also back

:41:26.:41:31.

the experience of Rogers over maybe the inexperience, if you are looking

:41:32.:41:37.

at the Vikings and Packers. True. Like you said, with Mike Carter

:41:38.:41:40.

calling the players, the commentistry is back. He has done it

:41:41.:41:46.

before in the play-offs. Time to roundup the NFC east, Dallas left

:41:47.:41:49.

the door open for the other three teams to make their mark. We start

:41:50.:41:52.

with Monday night football where teams to make their mark. We start

:41:53.:41:55.

with Monday night football where the Dolphins entertain Giants. Miami

:41:56.:42:01.

were eliminated from play-off contention. First catching a

:42:02.:42:08.

controversial 6 yard pass originally called incomplete and overcalled to

:42:09.:42:12.

tie the scores in the third quarter. No doubting this game winner,

:42:13.:42:16.

however. 84 yard for the score and leaving the New York Giants in a

:42:17.:42:21.

three-way tie for first place and handing the New England Patriots

:42:22.:42:31.

their 7th consecutive east title. On Sunday the Eagles scraped a win

:42:32.:42:36.

against the Bills after going toe-to-toe all afternoon it was an

:42:37.:42:40.

Ed Reynolds interception in the final minute that sealed the game

:42:41.:42:44.

for the homeside and kept it in the mix for the division. What a

:42:45.:42:49.

two-week turn around it has been for the Eagles going for a second

:42:50.:42:53.

straight Sunday. And Washington completed a three-way tie as they

:42:54.:43:00.

outlasted Chicago in the wind city. Although they will be thanking Rob

:43:01.:43:06.

Golden who missed a 50 yard to tie the game inside the final two

:43:07.:43:18.

minutes. I love that, you trying to put enthusiasm into your voice with

:43:19.:43:22.

the Washington win. Have they surprised you this season? They are

:43:23.:43:26.

stip topping it even though they are six and seven? No doubt about that.

:43:27.:43:32.

I first said that they would bench Robbie. Kurt has always been up and

:43:33.:43:36.

down. He doesn't always play well all of the time. I thought that they

:43:37.:43:40.

would be done. Playing the way they have been playing so far,

:43:41.:43:45.

unbelievable. How do you view the bigger pictures with the Giants,

:43:46.:43:49.

Eagles, all six and seven? I'm still running with the Giants. I thought

:43:50.:43:53.

you might. They have the best quarterback. And late in the season,

:43:54.:43:57.

on your way to the play-offs that's what you need - you have a guy out

:43:58.:44:01.

there making the throws. That's what we talked a lot about tonight - that

:44:02.:44:07.

experience and momentum. And it's the experience of Manning and the

:44:08.:44:11.

flare of Beckham Junior that means that you put them ahead of the

:44:12.:44:15.

other? Absolutely the experience. The Giants have been through this so

:44:16.:44:19.

many times before. They have been in this situation when I was there on

:44:20.:44:22.

numerous occasions and they always found a way too come through. I

:44:23.:44:25.

don't think it will be any different this year. Their quarterback is a

:44:26.:44:31.

great quarterback and they have not a rookie but in the second year. If

:44:32.:44:38.

all their games finished with a minute and a half left on the clock

:44:39.:44:43.

in the fourth quarter they would be 10-2 going into the Miami game. This

:44:44.:44:46.

would be a whole differentn't conversation wouldn't it. Yeah. I am

:44:47.:44:51.

concerned of their defense. Offensively they can make of it

:44:52.:44:55.

happen with what Manning is doing this now. I don't know who their

:44:56.:44:59.

line backers are. I don't know if they are able to hold up. They have

:45:00.:45:03.

a fallibility in the last 90 seconds. They do. This is a good

:45:04.:45:08.

football team. Like you said, they should be 11-2 right now. They are

:45:09.:45:14.

not because the game is 60 minutes not 48 and 30 seconds. Let's roundup

:45:15.:45:20.

the sights and sounds that you may have missed from Round are-week 14.

:45:21.:45:32.

-- from Week 14. One point or 20 points, babe yeefl. That's what

:45:33.:45:40.

we're talking about. This one is for you, man.

:45:41.:45:43.

CHEERING . Coach, you get two days off next

:45:44.:45:53.

week. I can't be prouder of a group of guys. We need some music playing

:45:54.:46:00.

soon, I want to see you guys dance. All right, let's get a break. So as

:46:01.:46:10.

we round out-week 14 in the NFC, Carolina won, Arizona are in, having

:46:11.:46:15.

claimed at least a wild card. Green Bay are now a game ahead in the

:46:16.:46:19.

north. And Washington narrowly head the east as the other division

:46:20.:46:21.

leaders. The Seahawks and the the east as the other division

:46:22.:46:25.

leaders. The Seahawks and the minutes Vikings are the two wild

:46:26.:46:31.

cards. Headed by Tampa Bay, deright and San Francisco now officially

:46:32.:46:39.

out. Other in the AFC new-grand are champions, regaining their position

:46:40.:46:43.

-- New England. And Indianapolis complete the division leaders.

:46:44.:46:47.

Kansas City and the New York Jets are in the wild card slots but

:46:48.:46:53.

Pittsburgh are knocking on the door. Cincinnati north to the north

:46:54.:46:59.

division crown. San Diego, Baltimore,

:47:00.:46:59.

Cincinnati north to the north division crown. San Diego,

:47:00.:47:00.

Baltimore, Miami, are all out of contention. Let's finish with a

:47:01.:47:05.

little bit of social media. I'm going to do the NFL rookie one

:47:06.:47:10.

here." Probably a daft question - what's the average time taken to

:47:11.:47:16.

complete an NFL game"? No such thing as a daft question. We encourage

:47:17.:47:23.

any. Three hours usually, depending on how many commercials. If you are

:47:24.:47:32.

a Giants fan don't have a go at me please. Just a couple of pictures.

:47:33.:47:36.

The second oldest coach in the NFL has climbed up on the lockers to

:47:37.:47:40.

celebrate their win. I have no idea what he is doing? I hope he has got

:47:41.:47:47.

good insurance. Locker survey. Thank you very much to to both of you yet

:47:48.:47:52.

again. Another week gone. Week 14 wrapped up, just three games to the

:47:53.:48:00.

end of the regular season. Mike Carlson will be on from 7:30 on

:48:01.:48:07.

Sunday. The game kicks off at 9:00. From all of us, goodbye. The regular

:48:08.:48:13.

season is not without its irregularities, the whole business

:48:14.:48:17.

of the NFL comes with a complication of two conferences - eight

:48:18.:48:23.

divisions, winners, wild cards, justling to make progress, to make

:48:24.:48:28.

the play-offs. The whole process comes with stress, strain and pain.

:48:29.:48:34.

The Broncos, the Bengals, and recoveries. The New England

:48:35.:48:39.

Patriots, it can be a rare old scrambling. Or it can be simplicity

:48:40.:48:44.

in itself. There is nothing more straightforward than winning, time

:48:45.:48:48.

after time, the Panthers staying on the road. It is a Panthers win. For

:48:49.:48:54.

most, it remains a complex drama. Next week, more twists and turns in

:48:55.:48:56.

the race to Super Bowl 50.
