If and it will be time for these two teams to settle it between the white | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
line. He will fire towards the end zone. Touchdown! Looking downfield, | :00:16. | :00:26. | |
going deeper. A one-man wrecking crew. Unbelievable! How did he do | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
that? Cart! To the win. But unstoppable. Welcome to Twickenham | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
for highlights of the Arizona Cardinals are up against the LA | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Rams. The 20th international series game to be held in London. | :00:48. | :01:26. | |
So many keys, so many memorable moments over those last 20 games, | :01:27. | :01:47. | |
but this one, it just feels a little bit different, too divisional rivals | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
matching up here at Twickenham. Let us look at the table, on top of the | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
NFC West, we find the Rams. They have as many wins as they had last | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
time out. The Cardinals are third. They had a win over the Tampa Bay | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Buccaneers last week. Osi will guide us through it. This one matters. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
This one feels relevant. A huge game, divisional match up, both | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
teams need to win. Very important matchup. The statistics are great | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
but these are two teams who are so different from what we have seen. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
The Rams completely different from the last time they were in London. | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
These guys are explosive on offense. There are new head coach has got the | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
best adult Jared Goff. This is an outstanding young offense. Sean | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
McVay, a young coach, the youngest in the NFL when he took over the | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
team but you know him? I have known him since he was a baby! He used to | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
play with us in Atlanta, he was about 18 years old. We had no idea | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
he would turn out to be this type of person, an outstanding head coach. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
The young guy in terms of coaching, what about the Cardinals? Adrian | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Peterson, the old hand of the NFL and he has lifted their side. When | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
you talk about the Cardinals, you talk about a team with three Hall of | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
Fame players, Palmer, Adrian Peterson, they are guys who can play | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
at a very high level. It is not just the impact he has made, but it is | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
the impact in confidence for the rest of the team. The team needed | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
this boost in confidence, they have been inconsistent with him coming | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
in, they know they have a running back. I say this is the one that | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
feels the most relevant, is this the one where you feel that the rest of | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
America turns around and says we want a piece of that? This is a huge | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
game and they are playing this in London. London is here to stay. One | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
of those who was instrumental in the growth of the game here was Kevin | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Cadle who sadly passed away this week. Kevin presented Skype as | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Michael coverage of the NFL for years and he was a huge part of the | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
NFL community in the UK and for many of us was the face of the game will | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
we were growing up. His warmth and personality and dedication to the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
game will be greatly missed. A heartfelt tribute was played to | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Kevin here at Twickenham. Our commentary team for this game. The | :04:34. | :04:46. | |
Rams won the coin toss and deferred. Mid win over Jacksonville last week. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
Sean McVay in his first season as head coach and the Rams are 4-2 the | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
first time since 2006. Bruce Arion 's team are 3-3. Gets up to the 20 | :05:01. | :05:12. | |
and down at the 21-yard line. Too tight ends, the running back is | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Adrian Peterson, Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown and Carson Palmer to | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
put it up for the tight end. Quick start for Carson Palmer who had his | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
first 14 passes last week against Tampa Bay. You do not want to make | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
this game solely about Adrian Peterson, Carson Palmer had a great | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
start in that game last week and he will only get better with a guy like | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Adrian Peterson in the background. We will see what he is about. As | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
Bruce Arians says, the old guys are coming through for the Cardinals. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Larry Fitzgerald shifts. The opening play with 18 yards, here is Adrian | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
Peterson up to the 40-yard line. Let us check out the Arizona Cardinals | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
on offense. Much was made about the return of DJ Humphries last week. I | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
think the addition of Adrian Peterson made them look good. They | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
have great talent on the outside with Larry Fitzgerald. Expect a lot | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
of him today. You will see him as a receiver but also in the running | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
game. On 15,000 yards, receiving. The tight end. No gain on that, | :06:37. | :06:45. | |
Adrian Peterson. John Johnson, the strong safety for the Rams, not to | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
make the tackle. When you're talking about the Rams, it is all about the | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
deep tackle of the defense, they have great talent on the backend as | :07:03. | :07:11. | |
well. Alex Ogletree will be active in this game against Adrian | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
Peterson. Wide receivers to the right, Williams, the running back | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
rows to Larry Fitzgerald. A 1st down. One of the great quarterback | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
receiving combinations, 1st down at the 13th at the 43-yard line of LA. | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Very hard to understand how a guy that leaves this team, second in the | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
NFL receptions gets this wide open, they are playing man-to-man. Across | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
the middle, big 1st down for Arizona. Three wide receivers in the | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
game, Carson Palmer throws, Brown, 24-yard line. Palmer was on target | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
again from the start of the game. A lot of people will question whether | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Adrian Peterson can be a full-time guy here for. Alex Ogletree, that | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
gives Carson Palmer enough times to win his rout up top. Great catch and | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
throw, another 1st down for Arizona. Gets a couple of yards down to the | :08:16. | :08:23. | |
20-yard line. We had a great conversation with Adrian on Friday. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
It just seems like this is a good fit and it just happened at a weird | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
time in the season. It really dead, but Arizona was looking for someone | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
like this. You lose a David Johnson and your team is deflated somewhat | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
because of what he meant to be offense. The ability to find a guy | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
like Adrian Peterson, who was floundering somewhat in New Orleans | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
brings much liked to this offense. Palmer starts up, drop set off, off | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
the hands of Adrian Peterson, incomplete. 3rd 8 for the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Cardinals. The challenge for Arizona will be to contain Aaron Donald. | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
Whoever he is working on, whether it is the offensive guard on either | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
side, expect him to get a couple of bodies on him. I will be surprised | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
if he gets many one-on-one opportunities today. Palmer throws. | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
Wide open, John Brown. Stopped at the 15th. Short of the 1st down. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Good job of rallying for the ball for the Rams. You get into that | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
situation and if you are LA, you have to be smart, you do not want to | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
play man-to-man here. This is what the defense does so well. | :09:44. | :09:55. | |
Rally and zone coverages, always have sound tacklers and be able to | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
get off the field and set up the field goal opportunity. This will be | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
a 32 yard attempt. And the kicking is wide to the left, he missed. He | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
seems to have sell down in the last couple of weeks. Poots this one to | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
the left and the game remains scoreless. Disappointment for the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Cardinals, we rejoin the game on the Rams first possession. Todd Gurley. | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
Nice little cut back and Todd Gurley with a carry up to the 43-yard line. | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
This is quite a running back matchup. On one side Adrian | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
Peterson, on the other, Todd Gurley. They are both having redemptive type | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
performances here, Todd Gurley especially. Jared Goff, the outside | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
was incomplete, hit the ground. Jared Goff in the middle of first | :10:55. | :11:03. | |
overall picks. Jared Goff last year, when he under Sean McVay is starting | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
to grow as a quarterback. The quarterback coach, the offensive | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
coordinator have all put time into Jared Goff and I had the pleasure of | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
being at some LA games last year and I did not know if this would be the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
guy he would turn out to be but so far this season under this | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
leadership he has proven pretty well. Jared Goff on 2nd down finds | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
Robert Woods. They have broadened some new receivers, Robert Woods is | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
one and Sammy Watkins is another, Robert Woods is a reliable receiver | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
in Buffalo. He will have to have a big day today, I think he is the guy | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
that Jared Goff is most comfortable with. Three wide receivers. Jared | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Goff throws, completes to Sammy Watkins at the 40-yard line of | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
Arizona, 1st down. Forward to the 39, Trayvon Martin is who is | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
starting today at a quarterback with a stop. They have been much better | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
upfront. The biggest additions to me are Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
on the outside. Putting the pieces around a Jared Goff and they did not | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
have what they needed last year. These guys are huge assets for the | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
young quarterback. On the handoff, slipping and falling at the 40 was | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Todd Gurley. Check out the Cardinals on defense. They have lost some | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
guys, they lost Marcus Goldman, expect a lot from Chandler Jones. | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
Justin Bethel is on the bench. Could drop, completes the Tyler | :12:53. | :13:08. | |
Higbee at the 35. Jonny Gray is the youngest NFL head coach in history. | :13:09. | :13:25. | |
-- John McVeigh. -- Sean. He's got enough for the 1st down at the 27. | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
Let's check out our first flag. REFEREE: Illegal contact, defense | :13:36. | :13:47. | |
number 27. Tyvon Branch was called. Watch this rout by number 17, Robert | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
Woods. Loose coverage on the outside there, despite the short yardage the | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
game. Todd Gurley try to cut it back, nothing there, a loss of a | :14:06. | :14:14. | |
couple of yards. Nice play by Robert Nkemdiche. Nkemdiche, for the first | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
couple of years of his career, he has underachieved. It is good to see | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
him back healthy. He is big and athletic. His motor is running high | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
and he could be a very effective interior defensive player. 2nd 12. | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
Free wide receiver left. The handover is to tie the knot Austen. | :14:43. | :14:55. | |
-- Tavon Austin. He's holding his hand. Is hurting. Keep an eye on his | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
left hand. That is the one he's holding here. He goes to the | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
sideline with a hand injury. Looks like he's heading to the locker room | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
to be checked out by the medical staff. Goff throws in and completes | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
it. He is down close to the 10-yard line. It is a 1st down for the Rams. | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
Cooper Kupp, to me, is one of the great young guys in this bleak. As a | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
rookie, he comes in, so Smart, understands the offense, is able to | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
get involved in the fence without having the same learning curve as | :15:42. | :15:56. | |
some of the Rockies. -- rookies. This is exactly what Todd Gurley | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
does best - direct runs. He is not a shifty back like Adrian Peterson, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
who can cut between different lanes. Todd Gurley likes to hit it down | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
Hill and go fast. We've seen a lot of that from him this year. -- | :16:11. | :16:25. | |
downhill. Goff, rolling, buying some time, and throws it away. Takes a | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
hit, and it is shoved out of bounds by Kareem Martin. There is | :16:32. | :16:41. | |
absolutely nowhere for him to go with this football. Tyrann | :16:42. | :17:02. | |
Mathieu. Todd Gurley out to the right. Throws, and it is incomplete. | :17:03. | :17:15. | |
Derek Carrier, the tight end, knows Cooper Kupp is the intended | :17:16. | :17:24. | |
receiver. Broken up by Josh Bynes. He comes in. You can't play | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
man-to-man, but that gets a linebacker on a wide receiver. I | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
mentioned earlier how adept Cooper Kupp is inside working in the slot, | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
but that is a fantastic play on the ball. Now it is Greg Zuerlein. | :17:41. | :17:52. | |
Straight through. So, the Rams get on the board first. It's 3-0. | :17:53. | :18:04. | |
STUDIO: We rejoin play with Los Angeles driving again. COMMENTATOR: | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
Todd Gurley punched through the hole on the 35. Gets about nine. Tavon | :18:12. | :18:21. | |
Austin turns the corner, he's got great speed. He's such a dangerous | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
runner with the ball. Tavon Austin down to... You like to me, he is a | :18:32. | :18:43. | |
running back. -- to me, he is a running back. He has become a very | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
reliable receiver. They drafted Gerald Everett out of South Alabama | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
in this second round. They have a good collection of tight ends. There | :18:59. | :19:07. | |
is a reason they are so high on that position. REFEREE: 5-yard penalty. | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
2nd down. He was three years old when he left | :19:14. | :19:29. | |
England and hasn't been back until now, but all his team-mates were | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
asking him about London. I'm sure he has zero idea. He said, I don't | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
know, I left when I was three years old! On the 25... Dumped after | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
Gurley. Down at 20. He came into the game as the leading receiver. The | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
most receptions on the team. He is the safety valve guide for Todd | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
girlie. You see why he has the number of receptions he does. He has | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
learned that not pushing the ball down the field all the time can be | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
beneficial. He's not the Marshall Faulk style of all-purpose runner, | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
but he is unavailable capture, catching the checkdown. Gurley takes | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
the hand, breakthrough, gets six on the play. 1st down run, Rams. After | :20:29. | :20:41. | |
a gain of six, the up-tempo offense continues. A lot of this is about | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
getting Gerald Goff to the line of scrimmage. Rushed by Chandler Jones, | :20:50. | :21:02. | |
he overthrows everybody. Pressure from Chandler Jones, who leaves the | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
team with seven bag-macs. A nice job by Chandler Jones redirecting. The | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
one the Gerald Goff doesn't do as well as some of the other young | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
quarterbacks I have seen is when he's scrambling to his left, being | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
able to square himself up. Third and short here. We will see of this | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Arizona defense can rise up and stop them. Goff throws, and it is | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
incomplete, a little behind Cooper Kupp. In that situation, you would | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
love Gerald Goff to be decisive and get the ball out of his hands | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
quickly, but good coverage on the back end by Arizona. Wets a 33 yard | :21:48. | :22:02. | |
try on the whole of Hekker. He leads the league in points. Pistons, but | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
his accuracy has been on point this year. This one from 33 yards. And | :22:08. | :22:21. | |
the Rams have a 6-0 lead. Here in London England, Gerald Goff leading | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
two field goal scores. STUDIO: LA couldn't move the ball, so Arizona | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
have another chance to get things going. COMMENTATOR: Froze, and it is | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
intercepted. Join up on the return for the 20, and down to the 17-yard | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
line. -- throws, and it is intercepted. The big kick-off by | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Marcus Joyner. He gets his second interception of the year. This is | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
about what happened up front. Carson Palmer gets absolutely clobbered | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
trying to make this pass down the field. I can't even see who that | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
was, it was so quick in getting into the backfield. He lays up a duck for | :23:14. | :23:23. | |
Lamarcus Joyner. 30 yard return, great return to the line-up for | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Lamarcus Joyner. His first interception of the season. Todd | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
Gurley, outside, fights off one man, and he goes for the end zone. He is | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
in for the touchdown. This is a great run by Todd girlie, fantastic | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
run, actually. This is just a bounce play. | :23:53. | :24:07. | |
Making Josh Malraux Miss there was the impetus to get him in space. He | :24:08. | :24:18. | |
is a powerful runner this year. -- Mauro. Todd Gurley's eight touchdown | :24:19. | :24:31. | |
overall. The Rams add to the lead. It is 13-0. STUDIO: Drew Stanton | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
replaced Carson Palmer on the next Cardinals drive, but again, they | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
have stalled. We pick it up with the Rams on the move once again. | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
COMMENTATOR: They are playing like a first-place team. They really are. | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Efficient on offense. We haven't seen any mistakes by this young | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
quarterback. A short pick-up to Todd Gurley. We are at the two-minute | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
warning. At Twickenham Stadium in London, England. Two minutes to go | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
in the first half. Rams do not have any time ISremaining. Goff with | :25:09. | :25:18. | |
plenty of time. Rolls it, throws, and actually threw it away, Todd | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
Gurley the closest receiver Tippett. Cardinals, whose -- to it. Cardinals | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
have had trouble scoring here. Picking up a bunch of points but | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
can't get in the end zone, it's a recipe for losing. They have had | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
another procedural penalty from defense. Now the third encroachment | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
penalty on Arizona today. Robert Nkemdiche. REFEREE: 5-yard penalty, | :25:53. | :26:04. | |
still 3rd down. For penalty of the game for the Arizona Cardinals. -- | :26:05. | :26:16. | |
fourth penalty. Bruce Arians said it has to be about focus., but for me, | :26:17. | :26:29. | |
Arizona is not focus now. Goff throws and completes it. Well held | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
onto by Robert Woods, a 1st down after 33, Woods with his first catch | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
of the game. Two steps in and the ball is. Todd Gurley breaks away. He | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
stays inbounds and is wrestled down by Tyrann Matthew. This -- Tyrann | :26:55. | :27:08. | |
Mathieu. He just misses him here. I wonder if his wrist is bothering | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
him. He is showing his value as a receiver in the backfield. 35 on the | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
play, and the Rams in scoring position with that strong leg of | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
Greg Zuerlein. Fires, and it is broken up. The pass intended for | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
Sammy Watkins, he never saw it coming. Pantomimes Bethea -- onto | :27:33. | :27:43. | |
one Bethea of, and is one Bethea... What what should he have done on | :27:44. | :28:06. | |
that play? He should have got to hands on it and got the ball down. | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
He thought the ball was out of his reach so he went up with one. Credit | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
to Gerald Goff, he was looking down the field, trying to make a play, | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
but smartly learning to take these checkdowns and using throws. | :28:19. | :28:33. | |
3rd 3 for the Rams. Jared Goff. Throws and completes it. Cooper Kupp | :28:34. | :28:49. | |
again. Jared Goff has also long to throw this football. If he gets that | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
much time, he will find a receiver and that is what happens. Touchdown! | :28:54. | :29:08. | |
That is the model of efficiency for Los Angeles. This is the last guy in | :29:09. | :29:16. | |
football I think who would run this football play. When he crashes down, | :29:17. | :29:27. | |
he pulls it. He will never be mistaken for an option quarterback | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
but in the red zone, all quarterbacks are runners. He takes | :29:33. | :29:39. | |
it in. This LA Rams team are playing better than Arizona at the moment. | :29:40. | :29:45. | |
Second rushing touchdown of Jared Goff's career, first of the season, | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
the extra point by Greg Zuerlein is good. | :29:51. | :30:03. | |
Greg Zuerlein. The kick-off is through the end zone, 41 seconds | :30:04. | :30:12. | |
remaining in the first half. Carson Palmer in the locker room being | :30:13. | :30:22. | |
checked out. The passes intercepted. On the interception. He gets it | :30:23. | :30:28. | |
right in the face. Mark Barron does not have to do anything. He is | :30:29. | :30:33. | |
looking for John Brown behind him. That is the wrong time to make this | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
interception. You put them right in the range for Greg Zuerlein for a | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
field goal. Here is Jared Goff, throwing an 3rd down and the passes | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
complete. Down to the 18-yard line, looks like he is just short of the | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
1st down. Great catch by Cooper Kupp. The replay official has | :30:57. | :31:06. | |
instituted a review of the previous play. Review the play. Tyrann | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
Mathieu makes a play missed the ball. All the replays come from the | :31:14. | :31:25. | |
booth upstairs. In the last two minutes of the half. Great pictures | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
right there, to see exactly that Cooper Kupp did lose that football | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
going to the ground. Now here is Brad Allen, the official. That is an | :31:36. | :31:43. | |
incomplete pass. Second and then, the 28-yard line. Please put 30 | :31:44. | :31:51. | |
seconds on the game clock, 30 on the game Clark, please. Thank you. Tyler | :31:52. | :31:58. | |
Higbee to the left. Todd Gurley comes out of the backfield, the | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
passes incomplete. He is covered on the play by Corey Peters. The nose | :32:03. | :32:09. | |
tackle went outside with Todd Gurley. Good awareness by Corey | :32:10. | :32:18. | |
Peters. Arizona was playing man-to-man, everyone's backwards to | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
the quarterback and who does not go with the runner he will have a tonne | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
of space going down that sideline. Third and then for their Rams. The | :32:26. | :32:33. | |
Rams in possession, to widen their lead. Jared Goff. Being pressured | :32:34. | :32:46. | |
and he is pulled down. Sacked back at the 35 by Chandler Jones. His a | :32:47. | :32:52. | |
sack of the season. Here comes the field goal. Time winding down, this | :32:53. | :32:59. | |
will be a 53 yard Drive for Greg Zuerlein. Johnny Hekker. Can they | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
get it off in time? The cake is through. The leg of Greg Zuerlein. | :33:07. | :33:15. | |
-- the kick is through. The personal leg, Greg Zuerlein puts three on the | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
board, LA Rams taking charge in London. Greg Zuerlein is 3-3 on | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
field goals. I promise you that this is not a stitch up and we would have | :33:28. | :33:33. | |
made this hall of fame, Eric Dickenson, peer regardless of the | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
scorer. The LA Rams, what happened out there? It hurts. That is one of | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
the things we wanted to stay away from was turnovers. I know you're | :33:46. | :33:54. | |
pretty special but even knew could not have seen this score. I thought | :33:55. | :34:01. | |
it would have been 28-7, it still has a chance to be there. You want | :34:02. | :34:11. | |
to play well. The Rams only came here last night, I thought that | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
might have been too short. I know you have been here a week, you would | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
have heard all the noise around Adrian Peterson this week. We all | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
thought he would be the one to stand up and be counted in your old | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
position as well, why do think he has been missing tonight? We have a | :34:29. | :34:39. | |
great defense. Arizona against Tampa last week. We did very well. Carson | :34:40. | :34:48. | |
Palmer seem that injury to him to change things, initially Stanton | :34:49. | :34:50. | |
comes on and you think there is more left. The offensive line is that | :34:51. | :34:58. | |
good for Arizona. I said this earlier, I said we would get to | :34:59. | :35:06. | |
Carson. That is football. Don't worry, when you talk, I do listen | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
and I seem to remember last season that you said that the Rams needed | :35:12. | :35:16. | |
to change things up, they did that with a young coach, they did with | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
the team too, can you believe the change in the side? Yes and no. I | :35:21. | :35:28. | |
did not see this coming this year. People were excited. This year when | :35:29. | :35:40. | |
they were 3-1, it was a new team, a new head coach, he was a young guy, | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
very excited about football. I think there is another win on the way but | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
that's my will still be there come the end of the game. Let us go back | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
to it. -- but that smile will still be there. Todd Gurley is having a | :35:56. | :36:02. | |
nice game up until this point, up to the 24-yard line, picks up a couple | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
on the play. Todd Gurley with 11 carries, 58 yards, averaging better | :36:09. | :36:16. | |
than five yards per carry. Plus he has also caught three passes for 40 | :36:17. | :36:22. | |
yards. This has been the theme all day, coming up to the line of | :36:23. | :36:27. | |
scrimmage, Noel huddling, let Jared Goff make the call at the line of | :36:28. | :36:34. | |
scrimmage. They have connected very well in this game, ball up to the | :36:35. | :36:40. | |
41-yard line. This is a well delivered ball even though it is a | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
touch behind him, makes a great catch and the connection there is | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
very evident, who his most comfortable receiver is today. 59 | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
yards for Robert Woods on 1st down, slept, regains his footing, rolling | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
and then decides to run for a couple of yards, takes a head and gets up | :37:01. | :37:07. | |
to the 45-yard line. Let us check in with Christine on the sidelines. I | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
am still awaiting word on Carson Palmer, did not see him emerge from | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
the locker room at half-time. I asked Bruce Arians what would change | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
and he said nothing. We need him to play the way he has played for us in | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
the past, we have to run the football better, just 15 rushing | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
yards in that first half defensively. Thank you. We will keep | :37:30. | :37:38. | |
an eye on that. 2nd down and six for the Rams. Todd Gurley. Battling for | :37:39. | :37:44. | |
yardage, gets up to the 47-yard line. Josh Mauro on the stop. It is | :37:45. | :37:54. | |
interesting that Christine mentioned that there are down, the Rams are | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
one of the best third-down teams. They have got a third and four here. | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
We have not seen much pressure at all on Jared Goff when he is dropped | :38:06. | :38:13. | |
back to pass. I would expect that he will trying get his defense off the | :38:14. | :38:20. | |
football field. Tyler Higbee, the tide end, all receivers out. He | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
completes to Sammy Watkins. At the 38-yard line of Arizona, it is the | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
1st down. I improving myself wrong, a guys at the line of scrimmage and | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
they play a soft zone. You see the frustration from Patrick Peterson. | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
Zero pressure on Jared Goff. They pick up another 1st down. Frostee | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
Rucker went to the sideline under his own power, was jogging a little | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
bit. Here is Jared Goff, putting it up. Tyrann Mathieu covering Cooper | :38:52. | :39:00. | |
Kupp. This looks like it will be against Arizona. 5-yard penalty, | :39:01. | :39:08. | |
automatic, 1st down. It is on Tyrann Mathieu and the fifth penalty | :39:09. | :39:14. | |
against Arizona in the game. Right there, top of the rout, I could have | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
gone without seeing that being called, Cooper Kupp had his arm | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
extended. Trying to push off Tyrann Mathieu. The flags fly. Each team | :39:23. | :39:30. | |
pointing out the others. Saying this one moved, this one came across. In | :39:31. | :39:38. | |
fraction, number 95, the fans, 5-yard penalty. It is on Rodney | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
Gunter. That is at least three neutral zone infractions against | :39:44. | :39:52. | |
Arizona. It is four. A quarter bag under center, you know he will try | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
an hard count, it is still a home game for LA. On 1st 5, the past | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
complete to Todd Gurley, he has got a 1st down, out of bounds at the | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
20-yard line. Todd Gurley has run for 58 yards. Now four catches. Four | :40:09. | :40:18. | |
of 45 yards, making 48 yards. Good day for Todd Gurley. Three wide | :40:19. | :40:30. | |
receivers for the Rams. Tied onto the right side. Todd Gurley, tripped | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
up, falls forward to the 16-yard line. I just feel like this is a | :40:36. | :40:43. | |
fantastic plan against an Arizona Cardinals defense that wants to play | :40:44. | :40:46. | |
fast and physical through the middle. They do not have time to get | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
into what they want to. They are at the line of scrimmage within 12 | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
seconds of the last play call. Jared Goff is doing an outstanding job | :40:58. | :40:59. | |
picking out the right play call every time. Jared Goff with time, | :41:00. | :41:07. | |
waiting, no one open and he was hit as he went through. That time he got | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
hit. Rodney Gunter got there for it then it hit on Jared Goff. No | :41:14. | :41:19. | |
pressure again on Jared Goff, he is looking for Cooper Kupp but he gets | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
doubled. You see Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu. He has got | :41:24. | :41:30. | |
coverage right there, Sammy Watkins. His primary target, a team is not | :41:31. | :41:33. | |
available and he has to throw the football away. Here is the 3rd 6. | :41:34. | :41:43. | |
Jared Goff. It set up for the end zone, too far, Sammy Watkins was | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
down by the end zone, by the goal-line with Patrick Peterson on | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
him. That is the matchup of the day, Patrick Peterson is an eraser on | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
your defense. He normally picks out the alpha dog on the other side of | :42:01. | :42:03. | |
the offense and tried to run a double move but the miscommunication | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
between quarterback and receivers is apparent there. Greg Zuerlein. He | :42:08. | :42:15. | |
will attempt at 34 yard field goal. Greg Zuerlein puts it through. The | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
Rams head into the lead, another possession, three points on the | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
board. The Rams 26, the Cardinals nothing. The LA Rams were in total | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
control, again May force the Cardinals to punt and we join the | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
Rams on their next drive. The Rams have watched from their own 15. The | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
Cardinals 21, empty backfield, throws, intercepted. Tyrann Mathieu | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
on the return, big return and he is brought down. With Carson Palmer | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
sidelined with his injury, Drew Stanton continued in the center and | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
failed to spot the Cardinals offense as the third quarter came to a | :42:58. | :42:59. | |
close. We rejoin the action with the Rams | :43:00. | :43:12. | |
driving again. COMMENTATOR: Across the 40 to the 42. First time in 20 | :43:13. | :43:24. | |
games that the Cardinals have had an opposing runner go for over 100 | :43:25. | :43:33. | |
yards against them. Todd Gurley, his fourth 100 yard rushing game of the | :43:34. | :43:41. | |
season, came into the game. His scrimmage yards, over 400 yards, | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
second in the league. He's having a terrific year. And you pointed out, | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
a lot of that is because the quarterback is much improved. Tavon | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
Austin with a catch off the pass from Goff. Gets a 1st down at the | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
Cardinals 45. Get out in front of Tavon Austin. You're not getting | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
around that guy. Austin was my job getting that 1st down was made much | :44:07. | :44:20. | |
easier. You can see why the curtain -- by Todd Gurley is having the kind | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
of season he's having. -- why Todd Gurley. We will be in New York next | :44:26. | :44:36. | |
week when the G8 stick on the Falcons. -- when the Jets. Take on | :44:37. | :44:54. | |
the Falcons. It is the first time that Jared Goff has really seen any | :44:55. | :44:58. | |
pressure today, not able to complete this throw on the run. Brown with a | :44:59. | :45:06. | |
1st down, down to the 33-yard line as the Rams continue to grind it out | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
now. That typifies what the day is for Arizona on defense. Got spread | :45:13. | :45:17. | |
out on defense, and they turn round and hand the football over on a | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
draw, and it goes for ten yards and picks up the 1st down. 37 passes, | :45:22. | :45:35. | |
now 31 runs. No gain on the play. The biggest concern now for the | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
Cardinals is the quarterback, Carson Palmer, going out with a left arm | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
injury. We'll find out how serious that is. This is Robert Woods. I was | :45:44. | :45:55. | |
looking for Tavon Austin. It's Robert Woods on the end of it this | :45:56. | :46:03. | |
time. He gets involved in these plays. This fence uses a lot of | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
formations, as short splits by the receivers, stacks, and it allows you | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
to do these things without giving away what you are trying to do. Look | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
at the two receivers on either side of the football, close proximity. | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
Again, this is yet another encroachment. REFEREE: 5-yard | :46:22. | :46:30. | |
penalty, still 3rd down. How many I stopped counting. Under eight | :46:31. | :46:42. | |
minutes to go, and the clock moving. It is all Rams. Sometimes you have | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
days like this. You can't be perfect every Sunday, as well as they played | :46:48. | :46:54. | |
in the first. This time, they mix it up a little bit. They stopped the | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
play before it got started. REFEREE: False start. 5-yard penalty. You | :47:00. | :47:13. | |
feel like they were refining their identity last week with Adrian | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
Peterson and the energy he brought. Since the second half of last week, | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
they have been flat. We were talking earlier about their record this | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
year. They lose, Win, lose, win, it's hard to say what they are as a | :47:30. | :47:38. | |
team in 2017. He was heading for the sideline and some open space, | :47:39. | :47:48. | |
Antoine Bethea with the tackle. He has the ability to make moves and | :47:49. | :47:54. | |
space, shiftiness. It is nice to see him get some yardage here at the end | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
of this football game. LA Rams are trying to secure their hold on first | :47:59. | :48:04. | |
place in the NFC West and go five and two for the first time since | :48:05. | :48:14. | |
2003. A good hold and a good run. He has done a good job. Backing up Todd | :48:15. | :48:16. | |
Gurley. These guys have had a fantastic day, | :48:17. | :48:36. | |
and it is because of these guys up front dominating the defensive line | :48:37. | :48:37. | |
of Arizona. 1st goal for the Rams. Up to the | :48:38. | :49:02. | |
11-yard line. Rams have had five possessions in the red zone and | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
scored all five times. Two touchdowns. Good numbers. On first, | :49:08. | :49:13. | |
Arizona had the first long drive, they get in the end zone and miss a | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
field goal. Get the bad start and haven't recovered. The defense has | :49:20. | :49:36. | |
not relented at all. The crosses to Tavon Austin going the other way. | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
There is a flag on the play. Austin knocked out of bounds at the 10-yard | :49:41. | :49:50. | |
line. REFEREE: 10-yard penalty, 2nd down. | :49:51. | :50:03. | |
The Cardinals have been strong on the road, especially against the | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
Rams. They have won the last three road games. You could call this a | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
road game for both teams, but the designated home team in the game are | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
the LA Rams. They are making the most of it right here. The Rams will | :50:19. | :50:29. | |
be in New York to take on the Giants. The Arizona Cardinals will | :50:30. | :50:40. | |
come back at San Francisco. How about the miles LA have to log? | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
Across country to Jacksonville, stayed all week, come to London, | :50:45. | :50:53. | |
5000 miles or whatever, go back home to be home for a week and then get | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
on a plane across the country again. Who made that schedule? It's | :50:58. | :51:05. | |
ridiculous. Not kind. The head coach can use that adversity, the | :51:06. | :51:11. | |
situation that we have no control over, to his advantage. It is | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
definitely something he is telling his football team - if we do our | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
job, none of that matters. He has got away. It is in - touchdown, | :51:21. | :51:30. | |
Rams. Cooper Kupp is a guy, when you look at him, you are saying, he is | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
not the type of player that he actually is. He is reliable, Smart. | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
I was talking to his wide receiver coach before the game, and he said, | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
you can plug him in and he knows exactly what to do. He has a will to | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
be good at his job. Professional as a young player, and he deserves this | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
touchdown here. Gate run after the catch by Cooper Kupp, put another | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
nail on the coffin of this football game. Third touchdown for the rookie | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
out of eastern Washington. How about this drive - 16 place, 80 yards over | :52:05. | :52:14. | |
ten minutes. The extra point by Greg Zuerlein was good. STUDIO: Arizona | :52:15. | :52:17. | |
were shot out for the first time since December 20 12. The Rams | :52:18. | :52:24. | |
winning 33-0. Congratulations. What is it like being at the top? God. I | :52:25. | :52:31. | |
haven't been on this site for about format years. I also know how it | :52:32. | :52:38. | |
feels how to lose. I am level-headed. I will come in, week | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
in, week out, with the same mentality. Feels good to be on top | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
right now, but I know how it feels to be on the bottom, so I never | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
forget that. As it helps having a young, new coach who has change the | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
attitude of the team? It is always a good change. Everybody has got to be | :52:57. | :53:03. | |
on their toes. That is what I like about him. So much has been made | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
about these young guns around the team. Seeing that performance from | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
them, for you, what does that mean? It gives me the energy to go out and | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
play. Being one of the oldest guys in the league, I know it is rare to | :53:17. | :53:22. | |
be playing like I am, but these guys are my energy. I get a chance during | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
the week to get my body right and get out with these guys. The way | :53:28. | :53:29. | |
they have worked from day one, they have continued that. | :53:30. | :53:46. | |
Do you see a team that can go all the way? I see a team with a lot of | :53:47. | :53:50. | |
ability, but they are young, so it will take focus. The message will | :53:51. | :53:57. | |
be, the more you win, the more you are putting yourself in these | :53:58. | :54:04. | |
positions, the expectation will rise and the pressure will rise. It is | :54:05. | :54:07. | |
about whether we can focus on finish. That is what the end of the | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
season is like - the guys I beat up, bruised and tired. In the end of the | :54:12. | :54:16. | |
season, you see the guys who can step up and win. How different do | :54:17. | :54:20. | |
you feel from this time last year? I'm good. Last year, we gave the | :54:21. | :54:30. | |
game away. We had about five or six turnovers and still had a chance to | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
win the game. I'm just proud of the guys on this team. The way we work, | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
just bringing it, each game. We have got to bring it, game by game, and | :54:41. | :54:47. | |
get better every week. Is not having Carson in there was different. We | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
have to figure out a way to pick up the slack. You have seen that change | :54:53. | :55:01. | |
in confidence and momentum this season, is it easy to going back | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
that I go back and regain that? We have to know the talent we have in | :55:08. | :55:10. | |
the room and what we can do when it's all going. We just got to | :55:11. | :55:19. | |
figure out a way to stay up. You can't miss the signs everywhere | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
saying Rams win. They dominated, came out in emphatic fashion and | :55:24. | :55:30. | |
destroyed the Cardinals. We can't get a good game here to save our | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
lives, Caroline! Lets forget the first part of the show where we said | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
this would be the one. Scrap that, it didn't happen. The Cardinals | :55:39. | :55:45. | |
probably stayed in Arizona. I don't know what the situation was. The | :55:46. | :55:49. | |
quarterback got hurt, so they couldn't get into a rhythm, Adrian | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
Peterson couldn't get into a rhythm, and they couldn't slow down Rams. | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
This was a crucial game for the Cardinals to win and they lost. I | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
think I heard an excuse there. You said Carson Palmer and the injury, | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
whereas the coach said it would not affect you. That is coach tour, he | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
will always say that. Of course it affected them. He was coming along a | :56:14. | :56:16. | |
little bit late over these last couple of games. Although he didn't | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
start well in this game, if he was in there, he could have got things | :56:21. | :56:29. | |
going. At Jarod Goff, his stats for last season are a world apart when | :56:30. | :56:37. | |
you look at how he has performed. Here is phenomenal, displayed | :56:38. | :56:40. | |
everything. Making all the checks, getting his offense in the right | :56:41. | :56:46. | |
position. He is having a fantastic season. We could talk about Todd | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
Gurley, but he is mentioned every time you went to the commentary, he | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
was that influential. What about the defense for the Rams? One of the | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
biggest acquisitions was not only the new head coach, but Wayne | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
Phillips, the coordinator, one of the best we have had for a long | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
period. He has this defense humming. They were playing fast, furious and | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
physical. An outstanding job by them today. Who comes out the other end | :57:16. | :57:22. | |
the better? Who knows? No more predictions? I'm just going to be | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
quiet! A first time forever thing! Stunned into silence by the Rams. | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
There was plenty more sport to keep you talking across the next week on | :57:33. | :57:33. | |
the BBC. Next weekend, we are back at | :57:34. | :57:58. | |
Twickenham for live coverage of the Minnesota Vikings against the | :57:59. | :58:02. | |
Cleveland Browns. 1pm on BBC Two. The music coming to an end, some | :58:03. | :58:06. | |
dancing still happening, but mainly for the Rams fans, while the | :58:07. | :58:09. | |
Cardinals at home without that smile on their face. From May, he is still | :58:10. | :58:15. | |
dancing at least, see you next time. Goodbye. -- from me. | :58:16. | :59:02. | |
I don't think everyone should believe in magic, | :59:03. | :59:04. |
