:00:10. > :00:18.And it will be time for these two teams to settle it.
:00:19. > :00:25.He fires towards the end zone. The King downfield.
:00:26. > :00:33.Unbelievable! How did he do that? The Denver Broncos are world
:00:34. > :00:44.champions. Welcome to NFL on the BBC. We will
:00:45. > :00:47.show you the best of today's action from Wembley as the Washington
:00:48. > :00:50.Redskins took on the Cincinnati Bengals in the third and final game
:00:51. > :00:54.of the Bridgestone International series. It is the tenth year of
:00:55. > :00:56.regular-season football on this side of the Atlantic, and so far, it has
:00:57. > :01:09.been worth the trip. The first of three games in the
:01:10. > :01:15.United Kingdom. The pressure is on! Touchdown to Alan Robinson.
:01:16. > :01:28.Touchdown Hilton! 20, 15, ten, five, touchdown!
:01:29. > :01:43.The Jacksonville Jaguars notch their first victory of the season.
:01:44. > :02:01.Picked off by the ricochet from Landon Cohen. Touchdown!
:02:02. > :02:07.Intercepted by Rodgers, and the Giants have won today.
:02:08. > :02:11.Joining me for this one, Mike Carlson and a man with two Super
:02:12. > :02:19.Bowl rings to his name, the former New York Giants. This is the first
:02:20. > :02:22.time that two winners have met on this side of the Atlantic, and it
:02:23. > :02:28.could prove to be a pivotal game for both. Cincinnati are the home team
:02:29. > :02:33.and looking to chase down the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC
:02:34. > :02:39.North. And in a highly competitive NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys are out
:02:40. > :02:45.in front at the halfway point of the regular season. So it is fair to say
:02:46. > :02:48.it is all to play for. And it was a sell-out again as the razzmatazz of
:02:49. > :02:51.the NFL took over Wembley for the final time this year. Let's join our
:02:52. > :03:04.US commentary team. Bengals won the toss and elected to
:03:05. > :03:12.defer. This is Chris Thompson on the return for the Redskins, out to the
:03:13. > :03:25.20-yard line. Kirk Cousins leads the Redskins' offense onto the field.
:03:26. > :03:36.They do not have their leading rusher. Cousins finds his man on 1st
:03:37. > :03:43.down. Taking out to the 28-yard line is the leading receiver, he missed
:03:44. > :03:46.the last two games due to a concussion. Kirk Cousins is a guy
:03:47. > :03:51.who plays well when he is in with them. You can help him get into
:03:52. > :03:55.rhythm by moving him a little bit. You also have Jordan Reid, who has
:03:56. > :04:02.been out, and if you get him involved in the game right away.
:04:03. > :04:08.Redskins with three tight ends on 2nd down and three. This is Kelly,
:04:09. > :04:15.and he gets swallowed up by Geno Atkins.
:04:16. > :04:25.Redskins lost their first two games of the season to the Steelers and
:04:26. > :04:31.the Cowboys. They have come back to win four of their last five. And
:04:32. > :04:45.they have been balanced as a team, Kurt cousins has a lot of weapons at
:04:46. > :05:01.his disposal, alongside Jordan Reed. 3rd down and three, and a 1st down
:05:02. > :05:12.to the 32-yard line. We rejoin on 3rd 7 for the Washington Redskins.
:05:13. > :05:27.Cousins on 3rd 7. Reed comes out of the Washington 3rd down, so the
:05:28. > :05:39.Redskins make it three for three on the 3rd down. They have three red
:05:40. > :05:49.zone turnovers so far this season. Jamison Crowder is tackled, that is
:05:50. > :05:53.a gain of seven. You watch Kirk Cousins, and people think he is a
:05:54. > :05:58.veteran quarterback, but he really hasn't started that well, last year
:05:59. > :06:04.was his first year really being the full-time starter. Earlier this year
:06:05. > :06:09.he came back from a hot ending to last season, but came in kind of
:06:10. > :06:15.skittish, not confident. Now you see a really confident quarterback. 15th
:06:16. > :06:20.player of the drive for the Redskins on 2nd down, it is Kelly, and he
:06:21. > :06:35.takes it in for a Redskins touchdown. What a drive, and what
:06:36. > :06:44.they finish for Robert Kelley. What a cut for Rob Robert Kelley, filling
:06:45. > :06:56.in for Matt Jones, you can't draw it up any better. First career rushing
:06:57. > :07:09.touchdown for Kelley, and Hopkins connects on the extra point. First
:07:10. > :07:19.NFL start, first rushing touchdown. Alex Harris and back deep for the
:07:20. > :07:35.Bengals. This is Alex Erickson, across midfield, and finally, forced
:07:36. > :07:38.out of bounds by Bessho Breland. Another college free agent in his
:07:39. > :07:44.rookie season, and that is tremendously blocked. They take the
:07:45. > :07:48.edge away from the Redskins, and he does a good job of following Tyler
:07:49. > :07:52.Kroft for a huge return to get the Bengals going.
:07:53. > :08:04.The Bengals kept it going and we rejoin them at first and ten.
:08:05. > :08:15.This is inside the ten, down to the 8-yard line. Makes the tackle for
:08:16. > :08:19.the Redskins. Dante Whitner playing well for the Redskins, he has come
:08:20. > :08:26.in and given them a boost, a veteran presence. They have David Bruton,
:08:27. > :08:30.DeAngelo Hall, couple of injuries back there, and Dante Whitner has
:08:31. > :08:44.been a nice addition. Seconds down and five, this is
:08:45. > :08:54.Bernard Insigne the five -- inside the five, and into the end zone!
:08:55. > :09:00.There is a flag. Personal foul, facemask, number 26, defense.
:09:01. > :09:06.15-yard penalty will be enforced on the kick-off. Alex Erickson, longest
:09:07. > :09:15.ever kick-off return in London in 17 games played here. The two guards
:09:16. > :09:23.get out, and that is one thing these guys do well, they get out and leave
:09:24. > :09:29.these running backs, and UC Breeland get a fistful of facemask. He looks
:09:30. > :09:37.like he may have injured his arm on his last run, so it is Bernard
:09:38. > :09:45.Butcher injures it -- Bernard who changes it in. We are tied seven.
:09:46. > :09:51.We return at the end of the first quarter, with Washington on the
:09:52. > :10:03.50-yard line. Cousins fired, and the catch is
:10:04. > :10:11.made. Pierre Garcon says, take that, to the Bengals defense. Redskins are
:10:12. > :10:18.on the move. That drive came to nothing, and the
:10:19. > :10:25.Bengals punted on their possession, so we are back with the Redskins.
:10:26. > :10:42.Cousins with all kinds of time. And the catch is made by the tight end
:10:43. > :10:50.who takes it all the way, a 44 yard connection. They rediscovered that
:10:51. > :10:54.Vernon Davis can still play. Challenging the spot as the Redskins
:10:55. > :10:57.hurry-up the line, Martin Lewis has thrown the challenge flag. The
:10:58. > :11:02.question is where did Vernon Davis initially step out of bounds.
:11:03. > :11:05.Challenging the ruling on the field that the receiver remained inbounds
:11:06. > :11:12.while running his past. We will review the play. You see Vernon
:11:13. > :11:16.Davis up here, and what the Bengals are challenging is that he stepped
:11:17. > :11:23.out of bounds not well catching the ball, but prior, and to my eye, you
:11:24. > :11:29.just can't see. The ruling on the field stands after review.
:11:30. > :11:33.Cincinnati will be charged with a time-out. 44 yard pass play, and the
:11:34. > :11:44.Redskins are in Bengals territory once again. From the Cincinnati 35.
:11:45. > :11:50.Cousins underneath, it is Davis once again, and Vernon Davis picks up
:11:51. > :12:01.another Washington 1st down, a gain of 15. They fake the go, to Sean
:12:02. > :12:05.Jackson running the scene, and an outlet for positive yardage. So now
:12:06. > :12:10.the Redskins back where they were on their last possession.
:12:11. > :12:31.The red zone woes, they have struggled their earlier in the
:12:32. > :12:38.season, and it was primarily that they turned over the ball earlier in
:12:39. > :12:43.the year, and now the last couple of weeks, it has been heating up.
:12:44. > :12:47.Cousins getting more comfortable, as he is everywhere else, down in this
:12:48. > :12:57.critical area of the field. Following the last play. This is
:12:58. > :13:05.Chris Thompson to the Bengals 16. Wrapped up by Vincent Rey. And he
:13:06. > :13:13.looked like he was grabbing his knee, he remains down after that
:13:14. > :13:18.last play. 3rd down and six. Vincent Rey is replaced for the Bengals as
:13:19. > :13:25.cousins throws, and it is complete for another 1st down. It is Jordan
:13:26. > :13:30.Reed on the Bengals 8-yard line. Jordan Reed is such a smart player,
:13:31. > :13:34.he finds that window. Kirk Cousins has such trust the Reed, he throws
:13:35. > :13:41.the ball, another touchdown. Nine straight completions were cousins.
:13:42. > :13:49.Nine straight completions for Cousins. He has gone to the tight
:13:50. > :13:53.end seven times. The Redskins, third time in the red zone. Touchdown on
:13:54. > :13:59.their opening drive and they were stopped on 4th down, now looking to
:14:00. > :14:03.get back into the end zone. They've got this defense, the Redskins
:14:04. > :14:07.offense has been on the field almost the entire first half, almost 16
:14:08. > :14:12.minutes of possession as opposed to four and a half for the Cincinnati
:14:13. > :14:17.Bengals. Jay Gruden is liking what he is seeing.
:14:18. > :14:29.2nd goal, from the five. Cousins throws it... To the back of the end
:14:30. > :14:38.zone. You can talk about all this great offense, but the Redskins's
:14:39. > :14:43.problems have been in the red zone. Unless you get in, these are just
:14:44. > :14:51.empty yards. 3rd goal, Cousins throws... It is Thompson but he is
:14:52. > :14:58.stopped at the two, on 3rd goal. Karlos Dansby, the 13 year vet, make
:14:59. > :15:06.the tackle. The Redskins are stopped on the 4th down. Well, in a certain
:15:07. > :15:11.way the Bengals have to feel good. They're doing a nice job with the
:15:12. > :15:16.4th down stop but they are not stopping them in the red zone.
:15:17. > :15:20.Hopkins's kick is good. The Bengals hold the Redskins 23 in the red
:15:21. > :15:26.zone. STUDIO
:15:27. > :15:33.We pick up the play with the Bengals on the next drive.
:15:34. > :15:40.COMMENTATOR: From the 48. Off the play fake. Walton able to get rid of
:15:41. > :15:45.it. There is a flag. It is Bernard. Bernard takes it all the way to the
:15:46. > :15:54.25 and then he loses the football! Maybe there was a flag. Josh Norman
:15:55. > :15:58.does punch that out but the initial looks like it's going to be on
:15:59. > :16:02.Washington. A penalty. REFEREE: The ruling of the field is
:16:03. > :16:07.a fumble recovered by the defense. Holding, number 26 defense. 5-yard
:16:08. > :16:17.penalty resulting in an all somatic 1st down. It is Prichard Breland
:16:18. > :16:22.working in the slot on Brandon LaFell. Enough to draw the defense
:16:23. > :16:38.for a penalty. It's a 1st down for the Bengals from the Redskins's 47.
:16:39. > :16:53.-- it is Bashaud Breeland. Golden on 1st down, complete to the Redskins
:16:54. > :17:04.47-yard line. -- Dalton on 1st down. You see the inside leveraged. A gain
:17:05. > :17:16.of ten, picks up a 1st down. This is Gaby Bowhill. Not much, maybe a
:17:17. > :17:23.yard, for Jeremy Hill. -- this is Hill. Ryan Kerrigan right there told
:17:24. > :17:28.us the other day it has been some odd growth for the Washington
:17:29. > :17:32.defense. Earlier in the year the points were too high. Now we're
:17:33. > :17:38.really bringing down the points, we've just got to get the turnovers
:17:39. > :17:43.back". An improved group for Washington on the defensive side.
:17:44. > :17:50.2nd 9 from the Redskins's 36. Down he goes! Back at the 47-yard line.
:17:51. > :17:58.Mason Foster, along with Chris Baker. Chris Baker is the guy in the
:17:59. > :18:02.middle, the big man. Starting right there and watch him just continue to
:18:03. > :18:09.rush. He splits the double team and comes right through to greet Andy
:18:10. > :18:15.Dalton. Only the Colts have allowed more sacks than the Bengals's
:18:16. > :18:30.offensive lineman this season. Dalton again in trouble, gets rid of
:18:31. > :18:35.it. Eiffert, a gain of 12. The Bengals will send out a field goal
:18:36. > :18:41.unit with just under four minutes remaining here in London. Did well
:18:42. > :18:47.to get within the range of Mike Nugent. He made a 51 yarder in the
:18:48. > :18:59.warm-ups. From this exact spot. This will be a 51 yard attempt. His
:19:00. > :19:05.record is 55. Nugent from 51... Is no good! Wide to the left. Not so
:19:06. > :19:15.here in the second quarter. STUDIO
:19:16. > :19:18.Both teams exchanged punts and we're back with Washington at the end of
:19:19. > :19:24.the second quarter. COMMENTATOR: 3rd down and four. As
:19:25. > :19:37.the Redskins pick up the 1st down and more, hit out of bounds by
:19:38. > :19:40.Kirkpatrick. He picked up the first and then draws a penalty as well.
:19:41. > :19:45.It's just not smart in any way. Do you want to be physical, do you want
:19:46. > :19:55.to be tough? Absolutely. But it's out of bounds. Just a foolish
:19:56. > :20:06.mistake. Down to 41 seconds on the clock. One time-out. First and ten
:20:07. > :20:14.from the Bengals 47. Cousins, with time. He was looking for the tight
:20:15. > :20:22.end, Reed. Vontaze Burfict got a hand to it. Vontaze Burfict all over
:20:23. > :20:26.Jordan Reed. Nearly end interception for Vontaze Burfict. -- nearly any
:20:27. > :20:34.deception. It's funny, Jordan Reed is such a good player and Kirk
:20:35. > :20:40.Cousins trusts him so much, I almost think it allowed him to spread the
:20:41. > :20:50.football a bit more. The Sean Jackson is replaced by the rugged
:20:51. > :20:55.Morris Paris. -- DeSean Jackson. Now the Redskins will use their final
:20:56. > :21:04.time-out. 3rd 7. From the Bengals 44. Cousins, to the outside, Reed!
:21:05. > :21:08.We will see if he picked up the first. The clock continues to move.
:21:09. > :21:15.No time-outs, as you mentioned, Kenny. Stopping to make a
:21:16. > :21:23.measurement. That helps the Redskins out. Here come the chains. The
:21:24. > :21:31.ruling is, just short. You see the knee down, where is that ball? As
:21:32. > :21:37.Jordan Reed stretches forward. Jay Gruden sends on his kicking unit.
:21:38. > :21:46.Dustin Hopkins's curry along is 54. This will be a 55 yard attempt.
:21:47. > :21:54.Hopkins, from 55! And it will not have the distance. So, the first
:21:55. > :21:56.half comes to an end here at Wembley Stadium, with the Redskins leading
:21:57. > :22:15.the Bengals 10-7. First and ten, angles from the 25.
:22:16. > :22:22.It is AJ Green out to the 35-yard line. Here is a match-up we've all
:22:23. > :22:25.been looking forward to. He is travelling, playing his traditional
:22:26. > :22:29.left side and also moving over to the right. You can feel AJ Green
:22:30. > :22:37.starting to get some separation from Josh Norman. Second catch today and
:22:38. > :22:44.here is Bernard. Bernard able to pick up another 1st down. Two plays,
:22:45. > :22:54.two first downs for Bernard. You look at this, just a surge up front.
:22:55. > :23:06.They create a huge hole for Giovani Bernard to burst through, Bodine.
:23:07. > :23:19.From the 47 on 1st down. Finding Tyler Boyd. 2nd 7 from midfield.
:23:20. > :23:25.Quickly into the hands of Boyd. And Boyd Gaines a couple, so it will be
:23:26. > :23:29.3rd 5 for the Bengals. In last week's game against the Detroit
:23:30. > :23:34.Lions, Detroit and Golden Tate had a bunch of success on those type of
:23:35. > :23:38.place. I've got news for you, Tyler Boyd is not Golden Tate and it
:23:39. > :23:42.didn't work so well for the Cincinnati Bengals. I see what they
:23:43. > :23:47.are looking at, they're just not quite as effective. Not for the
:23:48. > :24:03.Redskins that time. Dalton on 3rd 5. There is a flag.
:24:04. > :24:12.Picks up the 1st down. REFEREE: Number 24 defense. Use of
:24:13. > :24:16.hands. Results of play: 1st down. The first alpha Josh Norman. He's a
:24:17. > :24:18.fantastic player and one of the great things that make him a
:24:19. > :24:22.fantastic player is that he uses his hands effectively at the line of
:24:23. > :24:26.scrimmage. He's using his hands today but not effectively. There
:24:27. > :24:35.that chaos formation, as the Bengals open up. He gets batted down, Ryan
:24:36. > :24:39.Kerrigan getting a hand on it. Just a smart play by Ryan Kerrigan. One
:24:40. > :24:47.of the things the Bengals often do is they like the numbers, they play
:24:48. > :24:53.these bubbles screens. Dalton to the far side and Josh Norman get his
:24:54. > :24:56.hands on another one. Josh Norman has had his hands in position to
:24:57. > :25:03.times and both of them could have been pick sixes if he hangs onto it.
:25:04. > :25:10.Three penalties and he's got his hands on a couple. Now at four and
:25:11. > :25:16.ten, it is Green, and Green with a terrific effort picking up the
:25:17. > :25:21.Bengals's 1st down. I like what Kenny Zambesi did because Josh
:25:22. > :25:27.Norman is travelling except when he goes to the slot, so what does Kenny
:25:28. > :25:31.Zambezi do? He puts him in the slot. That is we'll going alongside the
:25:32. > :25:41.skill that AJ Green has. Tremendous effort by AJ Green. So, a new set of
:25:42. > :25:48.downs for the Bengals. This is Hill on 1st down and he weaves his way
:25:49. > :25:50.inside the 24 another angles 1st down for the Washington 19, as hill
:25:51. > :26:05.picks up 12. None 19, this is Hill. Jeremy Hill
:26:06. > :26:09.down to the 15 the Redskins. Jeep Iheanacho made the tackle. -- Duke
:26:10. > :26:18.Ihenacho. Is a terrific function at the home
:26:19. > :26:24.of the US ambassador last night. A bunch of our soldiers were treated
:26:25. > :26:33.to a nice party at the Ambassador's house. A good time had by all. Mike
:26:34. > :26:42.Brown of the Bengals... And the catch is made for a touchdown by
:26:43. > :26:47.Tyler Eifert! Tyler Eifert, Martin Lewis told as he is back to full
:26:48. > :26:51.speed and Andy Dalton is hanging in there knowing the blitz is coming,
:26:52. > :26:56.knowing he's going to take a shot. Hanging in there and finding his pro
:26:57. > :27:01.bowl tight end for a touchdown. Despite the Redskins's dominance
:27:02. > :27:04.with the yardage came in the first half, the Bengals find themselves on
:27:05. > :27:16.top early in the second. Mike Nugent... Extra point is no good!
:27:17. > :27:21.Wide, to the left. Mike Nugent missing. He missed a field goal
:27:22. > :27:26.earlier. Hopkins missed one for the Redskins. You see how close it is
:27:27. > :27:30.but just a bit to the left and the kicker is struggling. The Redskins
:27:31. > :27:35.punted on their next possession, so we're back with the Bengals.
:27:36. > :27:40.COMMENTATOR: Going deep and it is broken up. Norman getting a piece of
:27:41. > :27:45.it. Josh Norman doing a nice job covering. Norman has pulled himself
:27:46. > :27:48.off the field. He called for a replacement, so Clinton Dunbar has
:27:49. > :28:00.come on to replace Josh Norman, who is shaken up. Here is Eifert. We
:28:01. > :28:04.mentioned him, a pro bowl player last year. He got an injury during
:28:05. > :28:08.the pro bowl and then injured his back and made his return last week
:28:09. > :28:15.against the Browns. Six catches and a touchdown. Today in London for the
:28:16. > :28:22.Bengals. That position, when you have a tight end like Tyler Eifert,
:28:23. > :28:25.too big for DBs, too fast for others, really tough to cover
:28:26. > :28:31.especially in these situations. There you see Eifert working on his
:28:32. > :28:35.opponent. Dunbar matched up with AJ Green and AJ Green makes the catch
:28:36. > :28:39.with Norman on the sideline. Going up against the second-year corner
:28:40. > :28:44.and the catch is made right in front of Josh Norman on the sideline.
:28:45. > :28:53.It looks as if the trainers are robbing the calves of Josh Norman.
:28:54. > :28:57.You have to wonder if he has cramped, the travel, dehydration? At
:28:58. > :29:05.the bottom of the screen it is Dunbar, and it is green once again.
:29:06. > :29:09.The Bengals are aware of the situation with Norman out, and they
:29:10. > :29:17.will bring an back-to-back plays. Here comes Josh Norman back onto the
:29:18. > :29:21.field. Andy Dalton, a smart guy, realises with Norman out, I will
:29:22. > :29:27.attack Dunbar, and he did that. 15 yards on that fast play, and there
:29:28. > :29:42.is a flag as Jeremy Hill takes it down to the Washington six. Holding,
:29:43. > :29:47.Norman number 90, defense. This is a play that the judge calls. You can
:29:48. > :30:01.see him hang on with that right hand so he can't get up to the second
:30:02. > :30:06.level. He has pulled the jersey of Zeitler.
:30:07. > :30:27.Jeremy Hill, stopped just shy of the goal-line. It is 13-10 in the
:30:28. > :30:29.Bengals' favour, we could have a ten point spread after complete
:30:30. > :30:35.domination by the Redskins in the first half. But it is dangerous when
:30:36. > :30:43.you allow a team to hang around, you don't punch it in, and the Bengals
:30:44. > :30:49.are looking to capitalise. 2nd goal, Bolton will walk it in for a
:30:50. > :30:55.Bengals score. That is just great ball-handling by Andy Dalton. He
:30:56. > :31:02.hides the football, all of a sudden cyclo- pops out. He slips, but it
:31:03. > :31:08.doesn't matter, as Andy Dalton fooled the entire defense, uses his
:31:09. > :31:18.body to hide the ball, and then he is out the door. His second rushing
:31:19. > :31:25.touchdown of the season. And Nugent gets the last one.
:31:26. > :31:29.With Cincinnati scoring two consecutive touchdowns, Washington
:31:30. > :31:44.needed a reply. 2nd down and 2, it is lit Sean
:31:45. > :31:51.Jackson who makes the connection, and Jackson is shaken up once again.
:31:52. > :31:58.What they throw and catch by DeShawn Jackson. A subtle push, but he pays
:31:59. > :32:04.for it at the end, and what a throw by Kirk Cousins, just dropping it
:32:05. > :32:12.right over Pacman Jones into the arms of DeShawn Jackson.
:32:13. > :32:24.Bengals had some time to look at it. And they will not throw the
:32:25. > :32:28.challenge flag. This is Kelley. Again, as you have a look at
:32:29. > :32:32.Jackson, the story in the first half for the Redskins, missed
:32:33. > :32:34.opportunities, and now a late flight is thrown, a yellow one, not a red
:32:35. > :32:44.one. After the play was over, unnecessary
:32:45. > :32:50.roughness. 15-yard penalty, automatic.
:32:51. > :33:12.It is 94, not letting go of his leg. So, the Redskins now on first and
:33:13. > :33:20.ten. Down to the 24-yard line. All the coaches in this league, Mike
:33:21. > :33:27.Shanahan and all the others, always preaching composure and poise. Sam
:33:28. > :33:32.Wykes, my first coach, he is recovering from a surgery, and we
:33:33. > :33:34.wish you and your family well, we are thrilled that you are doing
:33:35. > :33:51.well. Absolutely. Cousins on 2nd down, and diving into
:33:52. > :33:57.the end zone is Jordan Reed for a Redskins touchdown. Jordan Reid
:33:58. > :34:04.macro is a tight end, but he doesn't run like a tight end. He turns on
:34:05. > :34:09.the Jets, you see him right here, Chris Thompson, cousins has it, but
:34:10. > :34:19.then he puts on the brakes, and whom, he separates from this
:34:20. > :34:26.Cincinnati defense. 23 yards, cousins to Reed. 21 yards, matching
:34:27. > :34:36.their longest driver of the season, Jordan Reed celebrates, Redskins
:34:37. > :34:38.pulled to within three. Into the fourth quarter, Cincinnati
:34:39. > :34:43.have the ball on Washington's 30-yard line.
:34:44. > :34:53.2nd down and six, this is hill, and it gets knocked out of bounds I Will
:34:54. > :35:01.Compton, so the Bengals now facing 3rd down and three. He worked his
:35:02. > :35:15.way onto the roster, his third year now as a defensive captain. Rex
:35:16. > :35:25.Burkhead out for the first time, number 33. As Dalton throws, and
:35:26. > :35:30.there is a flag. Two flags have been thrown, and now a third. Going to
:35:31. > :35:41.get a hold on Quinton Dunbar and Tyler Eifert.
:35:42. > :35:50.Pass interference, number 47 defense, automatic.
:35:51. > :36:09.New set of downs for the Bengals from the 20-yard line. This is Hill.
:36:10. > :36:19.The Redskins defensive coordinator, Joe Barry. And Dalton throws, it is
:36:20. > :36:30.picked off by Compton. Will Compton with the interception, the first
:36:31. > :36:37.Cincinnati turnover. Folder coming off the edge with the pressure, and
:36:38. > :36:44.Andy Dalton hangs in as long as he can, kind of wishes it out there,
:36:45. > :36:49.and easy interception for him. That is the play that this Redskins
:36:50. > :36:53.defense needed. Eifert stops, Dalton thinks he is going to keep going,
:36:54. > :37:02.but Joe Barry dials up the nickel corner blitz, and it forces Dalton
:37:03. > :37:03.into a big mistake. Dalston had gone 165 attempts without an
:37:04. > :37:10.interception, including the last four games. Now Cousins throws, and
:37:11. > :37:16.it finds Davis, all the way out to the 44-yard line.
:37:17. > :37:24.We return to the action later in the drive.
:37:25. > :37:27.Cousins on 1st down, complete to Davis, and Vernon Davis games seven
:37:28. > :37:53.to the Cincinnati 33. 2nd down and eight, Cousins fires,
:37:54. > :38:00.and it is Crowder! Jamison Crowder goes for the end zone, he is it!
:38:01. > :38:09.Tremendous job formation only by Sean McVeigh to run the quarter
:38:10. > :38:18.route, but that runs traffic for him. Cincinnati clearly drops
:38:19. > :38:21.coverage. Jamison Crowder with a great job fighting through a face
:38:22. > :38:27.grabbed that wasn't call. He gets into the end zone. After the extra
:38:28. > :38:35.point, Cincinnati start their response from the 25-yard line.
:38:36. > :38:43.On 1st down, it is Bernard Compton to wrap them up.
:38:44. > :39:12.It is Bernard once again, Dante with the tackle. 3rd down and three.
:39:13. > :39:21.Dalton throws, and it is on, into Redskins territory. He is going to
:39:22. > :39:29.run a little stick. He turns up, he really sells it with great patience.
:39:30. > :39:38.Great action on 1st down, Dalston looking for AJ Green, what a
:39:39. > :39:43.spectacular catch! Al Davis used to say speed kills, and that was pure
:39:44. > :39:48.speed. Was it pass interference, could it have been a hold? But that
:39:49. > :39:56.is how good AJ Green, the leading receiver, is.
:39:57. > :40:07.Green off to the sideline. 1st goal from the seven. Quinton Dunbar
:40:08. > :40:11.along with Bashaud Breeland. This offensive line of the Cincinnati
:40:12. > :40:28.Bengals needs to oppose there will. Dalton to the end zone, he was
:40:29. > :40:34.looking for Brandon LaFell. Dunbar on the coverage. Dunbar, does he
:40:35. > :40:43.grab him? He does have him around the waist. Number 47, defense. The
:40:44. > :40:50.ball will be replaced, automatic, 1st down.
:40:51. > :41:03.On 1st down, walking it in is Jeremy Hill for a Bengals touchdown.
:41:04. > :41:11.You watch the left guard, he is going to come out and seal the edge
:41:12. > :41:16.for Jeremy Hill. Look at him turn inside, and now it is an easy walk
:41:17. > :41:19.in for Jeremy Hill. After a possession each, we rejoin
:41:20. > :41:25.the action with Washington driving, still down by three.
:41:26. > :41:32.Looking for a field goal, need about eight yards to getting Hopkins'
:41:33. > :41:41.range. Cousins on 3rd down, and the catches made by Jamison Crowder. He
:41:42. > :41:50.made the catch, stayed inbounds, takes it all the way to the Bengals'
:41:51. > :41:53.22. What a throw by Kirk Cousins. Cousins on first and ten from the
:41:54. > :42:11.22. Andy Dalton can only watch. One
:42:12. > :42:16.minute 21 remaining, 2nd 10. It is nearly intercepted.
:42:17. > :42:23.This is exactly what Kirk Cousins is looking at. Seven passes knocked
:42:24. > :42:32.down by Dunlap the season. Cousins on 3rd down, throws it away.
:42:33. > :42:49.He was under pressure. Here comes Dustin Hopkins to try to
:42:50. > :42:57.tie this ball game. 40 yard attempt. This from 55 earlier today. We have
:42:58. > :43:04.had three missed kicks, two field goals and an extra point. Hopkins
:43:05. > :43:12.kick from 40 yards out is good, and we are tied at 27.
:43:13. > :43:19.Into overtime after both sides failed to score again. Cincinnati
:43:20. > :43:30.punt the ball back to Washington. Jamison Crowder comes for the field
:43:31. > :43:34.catch. There is the flag. Those gunners are the guys that rundown,
:43:35. > :43:39.often double-team on the outside, tough position, but again, smart
:43:40. > :43:46.football. Number 21, kicking team, for contacting an unfair catch. 50
:43:47. > :43:53.yards will be added to the play. 1st down. You can't do it, 15 yards are
:43:54. > :43:57.so valuable. The catch had already been called, he tries to get out of
:43:58. > :44:03.the way, but it is not about trying, you have to clearly stay away once
:44:04. > :44:10.it has been called a fair catch. So now the Redskins takeover. 6.53
:44:11. > :44:15.remaining. Second Redskins possession, this is Kelley. Works is
:44:16. > :44:23.way out for a gain of six. We've been playing football for a
:44:24. > :44:29.long time and there is the chess match, on your left, defensive
:44:30. > :44:36.coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals and Sean Maguire eight,
:44:37. > :44:43.offensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins. -- Sean McVay.
:44:44. > :44:44.He throws and there is a flag but Jordan Reed makes the catch for a
:44:45. > :44:52.Redskins 1st down. It will be a hold on the defense.
:44:53. > :45:03.What a job by Kirk Cousins. REFEREE: Holding. Number 24 defense.
:45:04. > :45:09.1st down. In an right tackle for Moses, he gets beat right over here.
:45:10. > :45:13.Watch Cousins step up in this pocket, avoid Carlos Dunlap and then
:45:14. > :45:21.step down field. Tremendous job. First and ten from the 42. Completed
:45:22. > :45:26.Pierre Garcon with a step. He enters Bengals territory. Redskins wanting
:45:27. > :45:31.another 15 yards on the sideline. You see that right arm, he grabbed
:45:32. > :45:48.that and then Josh Shaw pushes him. They've played to the 42-yard line
:45:49. > :45:55.and it is Garcon again for a gain of five. Redskins doing it without
:45:56. > :46:02.DeSean Jackson. There is Dustin Hopkins, as the Redskins now look to
:46:03. > :46:08.get into field goal range. Three receivers set, 2nd 5. This is
:46:09. > :46:12.Thomson. Chris Thomson takes it down to the Bengals 36.
:46:13. > :46:21.STUDIO With 3.33 to go, Washington looked
:46:22. > :46:25.well-placed to kick eight game-winning field goal.
:46:26. > :46:33.COMMENTATOR: Pass to the outside to Jordan Reed. And Jordan Reed takes
:46:34. > :46:36.it to the Bengals 20-yard line. Now it's a matter for Jay Gruden, do you
:46:37. > :46:40.want to try to get this thing in the end zone or do you wanted run the
:46:41. > :46:45.ball up the middle to set up Hopkins for the game winner? Phil Robert
:46:46. > :46:51.Kelley whatever he does and everybody out there, ball security
:46:52. > :46:57.is at a premium. Two hands on the football at all times. First and ten
:46:58. > :47:05.from the Cincinnati 19-yard line. Cousins hands it off to Kelley and
:47:06. > :47:12.there is a flag. REFEREE: Two fouls by the offense on
:47:13. > :47:21.the play. Illegal shift, two players in motion. That penalty is declined,
:47:22. > :47:28.motion holding. And 95 1st down. You see the right guard here and the
:47:29. > :47:36.hold, now the 14th penalty, 14 penalty! For Washington. Aside from
:47:37. > :47:39.two hands on the ball, no penalties. You're in field goal position commit
:47:40. > :47:49.you just can't go backwards. Two penalties now for the Redskins. From
:47:50. > :47:53.the 29-yard line, it is Kelley and Robert Kelley stays on his feet
:47:54. > :48:02.inside the 15! Down at the 13-yard line! So, Kelley gains 16 on the
:48:03. > :48:06.play for the Redskins. How about Robert Kelley? We talked about him
:48:07. > :48:09.earlier, always keeping his legs churning. Trent Williams just
:48:10. > :48:16.blowing Michael Johnson off the ball. And then finishing. We talked
:48:17. > :48:26.about finishing earlier and what a run by Robert Kelley. Now Cousins
:48:27. > :48:31.will set up a field goal attempt from the middle of the field. That's
:48:32. > :48:36.right. He tries to position it in the middle of the field and now you
:48:37. > :48:40.go to kick it on the 3rd down in case there is a miss handle on the
:48:41. > :48:44.snap, you can go over and do it on 4th down.
:48:45. > :49:00.So, Dustin Hopkins out to attempt the potential game-winning field
:49:01. > :49:03.goal, from 34 yards out. First ever overtime game in London. And a
:49:04. > :49:17.time-out was taken by the Bengals prior to the snap. Marvin Lewis
:49:18. > :49:23.right by the official there. He had that one time-out left in his pocket
:49:24. > :49:41.and used it trying to ice Hopkins. From 34 yards out. Tress Way is the
:49:42. > :49:48.holder. Dustin Hopkins, from 34... It is no good! Wide, to the left.
:49:49. > :50:05.CHEERING Wow! Hopkins, I guess he was iced
:50:06. > :50:14.effectively by Marvin Lewis! He just pulls it, right off the bat. Good
:50:15. > :50:19.snap, good hold. There is too much draw right from the start, for
:50:20. > :50:23.Hopkins. Hopkins had missed only two all season, coming into this game.
:50:24. > :50:27.STUDIO The Bengals then took their turn to
:50:28. > :50:34.win the game. We joined with one minute and 33 of overtime to go.
:50:35. > :50:38.COMMENTATOR: The past is caught by Boyd. Next score wins. That next
:50:39. > :50:44.score might be in the Tottenham game on Wednesday!
:50:45. > :50:57.LAUGHTER 3rd down and one. One minute and ten
:50:58. > :51:03.remaining. It is Dalton... Red -- Redskins say they have it! The
:51:04. > :51:10.officials are attempting to get to the pile.
:51:11. > :51:19.CHEERING It is Redskins's football! Wow.
:51:20. > :51:23.Someone came in at the end of that quarterback sneak and put their
:51:24. > :51:34.helmet ride on the football. And it was recovered by the rookie Anthony
:51:35. > :51:41.Lanier. It is Chris Baker, his hand is there. In comes Will Compton and
:51:42. > :51:48.boom, that is Will Compton, the shot. Will Compton comes and puts
:51:49. > :51:55.his face right on the ball. After forcing a turnover, Washington got
:51:56. > :52:00.one last attempt AJ Green, all the way back here.
:52:01. > :52:17.Final play, barring a defensive penalty. The clock hits zero.
:52:18. > :52:26.Cousins... And that will do it! So, the Redskins and the Bengals come
:52:27. > :52:29.all the way to London and it's a 27-27 tie.
:52:30. > :52:38.Mike, we had a tight Game seven days ago -- a tied game and you don't see
:52:39. > :52:44.it often in the NFL. Chaos in the final period. I think really the
:52:45. > :52:48.thing here is that the pressure just grows and grows in overtime. You
:52:49. > :52:54.come down to Marvin Lewis having to resort to icing the kicker. This is
:52:55. > :52:58.how I know there's going to be a franchise here pretty soon, they're
:52:59. > :53:03.just preparing with all these draws and ties, preparing the London fans
:53:04. > :53:08.for something there used to! We like a draw, don't we? Icing the kicker
:53:09. > :53:12.is very divisive in the NFL. It's when the head coach calls a time-out
:53:13. > :53:17.just before the kicker is about to take the kick, which is exactly what
:53:18. > :53:23.Marvin Lewis did here. Exactly, and it worked out well for him because
:53:24. > :53:27.he made the play here and then he missed it. But I've also seen the
:53:28. > :53:31.same thing backwards, where they miss it and then make it the second
:53:32. > :53:36.time. Not a great snap. But you're effectively doing is giving the
:53:37. > :53:39.kicker a free practice shot. I really dislike the idea that the
:53:40. > :53:42.coach can call time-out on the sideline and the play still
:53:43. > :53:46.continues because the referees can't get it in before the ball is
:53:47. > :53:50.snapped. Very much a narrative in the NFL this season, a lot of missed
:53:51. > :53:54.kicks, kicker is very much under pressure. Speaking of under
:53:55. > :53:57.pressure, the Bengals offense was in the second-half but it was like a
:53:58. > :54:06.completely different team out there? They doubled it basically in that
:54:07. > :54:09.third quarter, over 160 yards that third quarter. One of the big things
:54:10. > :54:13.they did is start using Tyler Eifert the way they used him last year. He
:54:14. > :54:17.made a big difference for them especially on their first score of
:54:18. > :54:22.the half. Andy Dalton did a great job of standing in. What's the rush
:54:23. > :54:29.is coming in, he gets level just as he releases the ball to Tyler
:54:30. > :54:33.Eifert. -- watch the rush. He went with the hand faked to the running
:54:34. > :54:37.back. He is a very athletic quarterback and you see him just
:54:38. > :54:44.strolling to the end zone. There is Jeremy Hill rushing in. A great
:54:45. > :54:48.rushing talent the Bengals have. One guy with a lot of power, one guy
:54:49. > :54:53.quick to the outside, but Hill was quick enough to the outside there.
:54:54. > :54:56.When you go in untouched, that's fantastic. Touchdowns aplenty in the
:54:57. > :55:02.second half. The Redskins struggled to begin with but bounced right back
:55:03. > :55:05.into it. Jordan Reed is a player we anticipated would have a big game at
:55:06. > :55:11.Wembley Stadium and he lived up to that hype. He did not disappoint.
:55:12. > :55:14.Outstanding catches. Catch the ball, make people miss and then run,
:55:15. > :55:20.showing his speed and athleticism in getting into the end zone. That's an
:55:21. > :55:25.outstanding football player. Kirk Cousins, 450 yards and two
:55:26. > :55:30.touchdowns. You saw it plays like that all the Bengals. Jamison
:55:31. > :55:33.Crowder is such an exciting little player and he makes a great play
:55:34. > :55:38.here. For all the domination they had in the first half, to only lead
:55:39. > :55:42.10-7 at half-time was really one of the keys to this game. The missed
:55:43. > :55:48.extra point of course is another key because otherwise it would have been
:55:49. > :55:52.a win. Seven receivers Kirk Cousins targeted and Andy Dalton matched
:55:53. > :55:55.that as well, spraying the ball to seven targets. You saw very good
:55:56. > :56:01.quarterback play on this particular day. All the quarterbacks finding
:56:02. > :56:03.multiple targets, the way the quarterback position is supposed to
:56:04. > :56:09.be played. The difference is, when Andy Dalton spread it around, it was
:56:10. > :56:13.mostly for show. He was going either to Tyler Eifert or AJ Green when
:56:14. > :56:17.they needed it. I'm glad you mentioned AJ Green. One of the big
:56:18. > :56:20.match-ups going into this game was AJ Green against Josh Norman, one of
:56:21. > :56:26.the best cornerbacks in the NFL right now. Is it fair to say that AJ
:56:27. > :56:31.Green won the battle? No question about it. Along with the four or
:56:32. > :56:37.five penalties he drew on Josh Norman. This is why you can't pay
:56:38. > :56:40.cornerbacks that type of money because there is no way they can
:56:41. > :56:44.shut down the type of receivers, it's not possible! You dropped two
:56:45. > :56:49.interceptions and one of them might have been a big six if he had got
:56:50. > :56:53.it. Norman is all over him and had a flag for interference and AJ Green
:56:54. > :56:58.still made the catch. Cornerbacks and wide receivers, it's like a
:56:59. > :57:01.spotlight position. The cornerback is there and he literally had to
:57:02. > :57:06.make them stop on every play or else everyone sees that he didn't do it.
:57:07. > :57:11.It's the closest thing you come to boxers in the NFL or football
:57:12. > :57:14.goalkeepers. The third of three international series games to be
:57:15. > :57:19.played this season. Was it the most exciting? Did they saved the best
:57:20. > :57:22.last? No question about it. I'm very happy that people got to enjoy a
:57:23. > :57:25.fantastic game of football from start to finish. It had all the
:57:26. > :57:31.highs and lows and ebbs and flows, outstanding game. Next season the
:57:32. > :57:38.Miami Dolphins and the New Orleans Saints are coming to town. That's a
:57:39. > :57:46.Derby but they play in different conferences so they don't play each
:57:47. > :57:52.other that often. I have to agree with Osi, much as it pains me! That
:57:53. > :58:01.will be a great game. You can stay up to date. On Friday night the NFL
:58:02. > :58:09.Show will preview the upcoming weekend's action. That is it from
:58:10. > :58:14.us. It brings this year's International Series to a close.
