0:00:32 > 0:00:35Hello and welcome to NFL This Week.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39It's the halfway point in the not so regular season as 12 of the 32
0:00:39 > 0:00:43teams look to secure their playoff berth by New Years Eve.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Joining me once again to look through the best of the action
0:00:48 > 0:00:50our two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora and former
0:00:50 > 0:00:51NFL corner Jason Bell.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53In true Halloween fashion, mention Brock Osweiller in Houston
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and they'll tell you a horror story.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00This summer, barely a year into a $72 million deal, the Texans
0:01:00 > 0:01:03desperately went looking for someone crazy enough to take
0:01:03 > 0:01:06on the quarterback's sizeable contract.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11When all looked lost, Cleveland answered the phone!
0:01:11 > 0:01:14The Browns...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I don't do it deliberately, this is how it pans out.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The Browns thought they'd bagged a treat, trading away a fourth
0:01:20 > 0:01:22round pick for Houston's second round pick in 2018,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25just so long as they took Osweiller off their hands.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Already counting their lucky stars, Houston had Cleveland to thank again
0:01:27 > 0:01:31for "missing a trick" with quarterback Deshaun Watson
0:01:31 > 0:01:32at this year's draft.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Passing up on the college football champion was described
0:01:35 > 0:01:37by his Clemson coach as "Like passing up
0:01:37 > 0:01:42on Michael Jordan".
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Anyhow, the rookie sensation has revitalized the Texans offense,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48one that lagged so badly under Osweiller.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54The sound of the crowd, the knowledge of the audience,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59the legend of the shirt, the famed Seattle 12th man.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02They know a thing or two about the hotshot arms of youth.
0:02:02 > 0:02:12Beautiful touch from Russell Wilson.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Now they welcomed Deshaun Watson, five touchdown passes
0:02:14 > 0:02:15against the Kansas City Chiefs.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Come on in, rookie.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Allow us to introduce you to the Legion of Broom.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Miller who blocks Freeley, going deeper.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41He's got Miller.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42That is a touchdown!
0:02:42 > 0:02:43No flags.
0:02:43 > 0:02:4459 yard strike.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48What a throw and a run by the fleet footed Will Fuller.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Intercepted picked off by Thomas.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Earl Thomas with the footrace.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Brown won't get them.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56That will be six.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Touchdown.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01He is reading the eyes of the quarterback the entire way.
0:03:01 > 0:03:11He knows when Deshaun Watson wants to throw the football.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14To DeAndre Hopkins inside on the slot against Richard Sherman.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17They just baited the young rookie into a huge mistake.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Miller slices into the end zone for a touchdown.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22How about Seattle's defense?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Coming into today they had not had a single score
0:03:25 > 0:03:35in the first quarter and here, the Texans, in less
0:03:39 > 0:03:43in less than a quarter have hit him for 59 yard touchdown pass.
0:03:43 > 0:03:51They are a three yard touchdown run.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Five in the second area with the second and 10 for Wilson.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56He was knocked off that time.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Wilson to the end zone.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Caught for a touchdown.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Richardson.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Wilson kept it alive.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02No yellow on the field, touchdown Seattle.
0:04:02 > 0:04:0320 yard touchdown pass.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05This is where Russell Wilson is so special and so unique.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07His ability to extend plays with his legs.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09The non-rhythm throws from Russell Wilson.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Watson to the end zone.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Caught for a touchdown.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Sherman beaten by Will Fuller, his second touchdown reception today.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Fuller has caught 11 passes this year for seven touchdowns.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19It is an amazing number!
0:04:19 > 0:04:212nd down and eight.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Lacy with the block.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Wilson...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Caught at the ten.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33What a catch made by McEvoy.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36First catch of the season.
0:04:36 > 0:04:4053 yard strike.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Lacy is in there.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Wilson.
0:04:47 > 0:04:56Touchdown for the second time today, receiver Paul Richardson.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Talk about a difficult throw, moving to your left as a right-handed
0:04:59 > 0:05:02quarterback, he puts right on the numbers of Richardson.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Fairburn's 31 yard field goal gave Houston and a 3-point lead made way
0:05:05 > 0:05:09through the third quarter.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Seattle settled for a Blair Walsh field goal on the following
0:05:12 > 0:05:13possession to tie the game at 24-24.
0:05:16 > 0:05:22He dances by one defender, it is intercepted again,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25this is Richard Sherman following blocks and down to the 16!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Watson has been picked off for a second time today.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32The first interception of the season for Richard Sherman.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Blair Walsh kicked a field goal on their next possession to give
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Seattle 3-point lead going into the fourth quarter.
0:05:38 > 0:05:45Second goal.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Watson was looking at it, slides away again.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Goes for a touchdown!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Caught by Miller, two yard strike, Texans on top.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Watson gets spun around and then he has the wherewithal to tuck
0:05:54 > 0:05:57the ball away and not panic and find his running back Lamar
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Miller waiting in the end zone.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Not a lot of quarterbacks can make that type of play.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Second down ten.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10He's got it.
0:06:10 > 0:06:17Lockett.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Ushered out of bounds by Gilchrist.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Big play right there by Seattle.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Down to the 20-yard line of the Texans.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Lacy is in, the fate to the end zone.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Touchdown, Jimmy Graham!
0:06:29 > 0:06:39Seattle have taken the lead.
0:06:40 > 0:06:422nd down and seven, Hopkins looking for a block.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47There he goes!
0:06:47 > 0:06:50It is a foot race and he is in for the lead!
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Stunning.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Absolutely stunning.
0:06:52 > 0:06:59A four point lead for Houston.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It all sits right in front of Russell Wilson.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Look at that, 22 career game-winning drive in the fourth quarter
0:07:04 > 0:07:05overtime, he knows what to do.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08First and ten for Russell Wilson.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Sidestepping and throwing.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Richardson.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14What a catch!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16He is down at the 33.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Paul Richardson does it again.
0:07:19 > 0:07:2347 yard completion.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26He just outjumped Gilchrist, a terrific effort.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28The leaping ability of Paul Richardson to leap
0:07:28 > 0:07:34up and get the ball.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37First in 15 inside ten minutes, they run of ten seconds.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41This time Lockett right in front of Williams.
0:07:41 > 0:07:4519 yard game, down to the 18-yard line, first and ten.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Wilson caught touchdown!
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Graham!
0:07:54 > 0:07:593-point lead, 21 seconds to go.
0:07:59 > 0:08:042nd down and 20.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06There it is, going deep and intercepted by a Sherman,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Seattle's going to win it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Second interception today.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Sherman picks off his second and the Seahawks will win
0:08:15 > 0:08:18their fourth consecutive game.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I put in so much work in California and it shows up.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30You can look over there and look and look left and know that
0:08:30 > 0:08:31something good's going to happen.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Whenever we lose it's my fault, and that's the way I look at it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35It's not the players' fault.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36They played valiantly today.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Earl Thomas is one of the best safetys ever to play the game.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Richard Sherman's one of the best corners to play the game.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I just feel sick that we didn't win.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48They say Earl's only good because of me and Cam and me and Cam
0:08:48 > 0:08:51are good because of Earl.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54And Bobby's only good because of us and Delion's only
0:08:54 > 0:08:56good because of Bobby, so you've got to say, right,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59there might be a few hall of fame players in his defense which might
0:08:59 > 0:09:02be making the whole thing go, but score for a different day.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03I appreciate you guys.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05The Houston Texans and their young rookie quarterback played
0:09:05 > 0:09:08against the Seattle Seahawks legion of boom defense in an epic showdown,
0:09:08 > 0:09:17probably one of the best games we've seen in the NFL.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Well, ladies and gentlemen, there was a game within the game
0:09:19 > 0:09:21and that took place between Deshaun Watson
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and Earl Thomas, but in order to show you the incredible things
0:09:24 > 0:09:27that happen, I've got to first bring down my team-mate, my quarterback,
0:09:27 > 0:09:28the honourable Mark Chapman.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Come on, man, let's show how this is done.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The last time you did this I had to pretend to be an offensive line.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I'm not doing that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37You're not going to hit me or anything?
0:09:37 > 0:09:38We're not going to do anything.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42But first of all, all I want you to do right now is I want
0:09:42 > 0:09:45you to look at this play right here and I want you to
0:09:45 > 0:09:46tell me what you see.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47OK.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I see Deshaun Watson stepping back.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51I see Deshaun Watson throwing an amazing deep ball and I see
0:09:51 > 0:09:53a great catch and touch there.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Absolutely.
0:09:54 > 0:10:02And that is what the untrained eye will see!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03I am your pupil.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04You are.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Let me break down this.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07You will love this, this is incredible.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Check this out right here.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12First of all, Will Fuller down here.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Fastest man on the football field by far.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Outstanding athlete.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And you have Earl Thomas, the strong safety, or the free
0:10:18 > 0:10:21safety for the Seattle Seahawks, one of the best players of this
0:10:21 > 0:10:22generation, a wily veteran.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Now, the Houston Texans want to get Will Fuller behind Earl Thomas.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Now, Earl Thomas is responsible for the middle of the field right here.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30The Houston Texans know that, he knows that and
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Will Fuller knows that also.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Because there's no one behind?
0:10:33 > 0:10:33Exactly.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37So how will get Will Fuller behind Earl Thomas?
0:10:37 > 0:10:38I'll show you exactly what they do.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Go on then.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41This is amazing, this is genius.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43The Houston Texans are going to run this guy right
0:10:43 > 0:10:46here across the middle of the field.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Now what this does is this is going to freeze Earl Thomas
0:10:49 > 0:10:50for a split second.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's called taking the cheese and they want to see if Earl Thomas
0:10:53 > 0:10:56is going to take the cheese, because they know Will Fuller
0:10:56 > 0:10:59is the fastest man on the football field, and if Earl Thomas hesitates
0:10:59 > 0:11:02for one split second, Will Fuller is going to be
0:11:02 > 0:11:03able to get behind him.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Right, OK.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Let's see what happens.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10As you see, he has the middle of the field covered, that's his job.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13They run this guy across the middle and he stops for one second,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16boom, it's too late.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18He can't recover fast enough because Will Fuller
0:11:18 > 0:11:21is entirely too fast.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It is that sideways step that you see, is it?
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Yes.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Which we are about to see just there.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28In two minds.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29That is it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32That is all they wanted him to do, just stepped to the side
0:11:32 > 0:11:35for a little bit, hesitate for one second, because Will Fuller,
0:11:35 > 0:11:37the fastest man on the football field was going to get them,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39and I like this part right here, man.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I like Deshaun Watson.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42His yell.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44This is how I feel after the touch-screen sometimes!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I just want to yell like that.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48That is incredible.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Just let me explain one thing as well.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54If you saw a rogue arrow there, that was Tony Romo's arrow
0:11:54 > 0:11:59on the actual broadcast of the game and we couldn't get it off,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01so you and Tony Romo or on the same wavelength.
0:12:01 > 0:12:10Listen, that was incredible play by the Houston Texans,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12not only the offense and co-ordinator but by
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Deshaun Watson, a rookie, who recognised that.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16But guess what, Earl Thomas of the Seattle Seahawks
0:12:16 > 0:12:18is going to have the last word.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Come on then.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And I'm going to tell you why, because right here, as you see...
0:12:22 > 0:12:26What are you going to see right here?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Deshaun Watson, quarterback, you understand what I am saying.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Earl Thomas is back here somewhere.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's going to throw the football, interception, right, simple as that?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Simple as that.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Again, to the untrained eye, Mark Chapman!
0:12:39 > 0:12:40I am sorry, Osi.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41That's what it looks like!
0:12:41 > 0:12:44But ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to show you what
0:12:44 > 0:12:45happened here again.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47This is incredible.
0:12:47 > 0:12:53There's Earl Thomas.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Now Earl Thomas's up here but guess who he has with him.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59He has his friend, his homey, like hit you are up here with me.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01He has his friend with him.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Homey!
0:13:02 > 0:13:03That's it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Now Earl Thomas is no longer responsible for the entire
0:13:05 > 0:13:06middle of the field.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Now he has the side.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09OK.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Now watch what happens right here.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15The young rookie quarterback, Deshaun Watson, outstanding football
0:13:15 > 0:13:22player, but he still a rookie, and he's supposed to look
0:13:22 > 0:13:24off the safety but he doesn't do it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25He stares directly at DeAndre Hopkins.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27So never looks where Earl Thomas is?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Never looks where Earl Thomas is.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Look at what Earl Thomas does right here.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33As soon as this guy goes out, gone.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34He's looking down, boom.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Intercepted.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40How crazy is that?
0:13:40 > 0:13:41You see his head go.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Just looked out and looked straight to Deshaun Watson
0:13:44 > 0:13:46because Deshaun Watson didn't look at the safety.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47Gone.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Picked off to the house.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Now, I know that they think we're just bunch of big brutes running
0:13:54 > 0:13:57around and hitting each other, but the amount of planning
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and preparation and the strategy that goes into this game is amazing,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01as demonstrated there.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03But both things, both things that you show are split-second timing.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04Split second.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Either way.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10It is amazing, right?!
0:14:10 > 0:14:14It's the mental side of the game that quite often I think you don't
0:14:14 > 0:14:15appreciate until you pick out the little bits.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Absolutely, man.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Great game by both of them but in the end the Seattle
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Seahawks came out on top.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22Your touch screen is over.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Ahh!
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Now we have to go back.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Now we'll go back to Jason because...
0:14:26 > 0:14:27What is he doing?!
0:14:27 > 0:14:28What are you doing?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Did you not enjoy that?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34You two buddies up there, I just thought I'd relax.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36It was great though.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It was great, I was relaxed.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You know, I thought that I was on the couch watching the game.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Good stuff.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I thought you were posing for one of your art classes!
0:14:46 > 0:14:47So...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I'm going to involve you now.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51It's your show as much as his.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Thank you.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57We talk about a split second, there was an amazing call in this
0:14:57 > 0:14:59game, but not by a quarterback or an offensive co-ordinator,
0:14:59 > 0:15:00by that man, Pete Carroll.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Talk us through this.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Talk us through this.
0:15:02 > 0:15:09Yeah.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14I mean, this is amazing that he saw this, right.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16The incomplete pass was ruled a fumble.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22You know.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Because he challenged it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28Because he challenged it.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Because he challenged it.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35This is what I like about this is we talk about, like,
0:15:35 > 0:15:36Ben McAdoo calling the plays, right.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40He document get the ability to be a head coach in the seedy stuff.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Pete Carroll is locked into this.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43He this were setting up for the kick.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Because he wanted to call this as a fumble,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47with I is unusual for a coach.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48Yes.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50But that was because Seattle recovered the ball.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Right.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53So an incomplete pass they were going to kick it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56A fumble, because they recovered it, it gave them the regards required
0:15:56 > 0:15:58to start their next set of downs.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01And actually, as a result of that drive, they then scored a touchdown.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02Huge part of the game.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03That's trusting the guys upstairs.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06He's got guys in the booth who he has chemistry
0:16:06 > 0:16:09with and he knows they say see the game the right way.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10And, look, he trusted them.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Fine margins, again.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Fine margins, man.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13It's a game of inches.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14It is.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16As he likes to say, man.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18He was able to see that, call it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I mean, that was an outstanding coaching job by Pete Carroll.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Let's hear from the man himself, here is Pete Carroll.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24That's a first right there.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I was really happy about having that chance to challenge that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Really, it's totally coming out the other side of my brain,
0:16:30 > 0:16:36but the guys upstairs did a great job to jump
0:16:36 > 0:16:38on that one and obviously it was the right thing.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39It helped.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42A reminder that we have The NFL Show at 11.50pm this Saturday,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44that's straight after Match of the Day.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47We'll talk more of the season so far and have highlights of Thursday's
0:16:47 > 0:16:49game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You can also, just like this show, catch ti on the iPlayer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Right, let's take a look at some of the other Week 8 games.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Let's start with the last London game of the year, the Browns
0:16:58 > 0:16:59versus the Vikings at Twickenham.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Cleveland took the lead.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Ah!
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Crowell piled in for an early score.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05He's not your friend, is he?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06He was, man.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07But, no, that hurt.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Is he only your friend when he has a good game?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I want him to make all the tackles.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12OK.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Cleveland kept it tight, but then after half-time
0:17:14 > 0:17:16the Vikings pulled away, Kyle Rudolph capping it there.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Good win, good win.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18To 6/2.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Andre Holmes scored a six yard touchdown pass against his former
0:17:21 > 0:17:23team to score Buffalo's - That feels good, Mark.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Does it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Oh, yeah, it feels good.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Oh, yeah, you want to get them back.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28So cool.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I enjoyed that.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32The Bills continue to win by forcing turnovers, Matt Miliano
0:17:32 > 0:17:35there going in for a pick six just before half time.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36LeSean McCoy sealing.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38When your is Shady, you just do what you've got to do.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40You're sweet, right.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41You got to get that pass.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Buffalo go to 5/2.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Now there was a tight game in Cincinnati,
0:17:44 > 0:17:45the Colts facing the Bengals.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Jacoby Brissett connected with Jack Doyle from 13 yards.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48I like Jacoby.
0:17:48 > 0:17:4910/3 up halfway.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I like Jacoby, man, he's all right.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52He's doing OK, isn't he?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54No, no, he's doing all right.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55He's doing OK.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Andy Dalton responded with a touchdown pass to AJ Green
0:17:57 > 0:18:00and then Carlos Dunlap made the - Now this is my friend,
0:18:00 > 0:18:01just to be flat out honest.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Of course, he is.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04He's your friend as well?
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Carlos Dunlap is my friend, good guy.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07We didn't hear anything about Carlos Dunlap
0:18:07 > 0:18:08until he made that interception.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Never heard him mentioned until that.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Did he make a play?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Get your name called out.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Right, Atlanta visiting the New York Jets.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Josh McCown throwing a 34 yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18That was what sealed it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Mohammed Sanu's great catch in the fourth to put
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Atlanta in the lead.
0:18:21 > 0:18:22They go to 4/3.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Go Cleats!
0:18:23 > 0:18:24Go, Cleats!
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Go Cleats.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Chargers were at the Patriots and actually it was a good
0:18:28 > 0:18:29start for the Chargers, Melvin Gordon bursting
0:18:29 > 0:18:3087 yard touchdown.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33This is where the monkey gets on your back, right here.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You see how almost gets snatched right here.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36The monkey guy got handy.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Just held on.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38He got handy.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Just held on.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Brady and Rob Gronkowski then connected, fifth touchdown
0:18:41 > 0:18:42of the season for Gronk.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Philip Rivers had some unforgettable moments.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Oh, Philip!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Oh, my word, I wondered what you were going to say then.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Philip, Philip, Philip.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Don't do that!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Don't it look all right there when that happens.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Don't do that to me, Jason.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Goodness.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Then he was intercepted as time ran out.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Patriots now share the best record in the AFC.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I thought they had problems!
0:19:03 > 0:19:06The Bears travelled to New Orleans to face Drew Brees and the Saints.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Alvin Kamara somehow evaded two Bears to open the scoring.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10This is nice, man.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14In the 1st quarter.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16He's going to be a player for them.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17He is already.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Mitchell Trubisky for the Bears continues to show promise time.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Hello, Mitch.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22With his legs.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23That was an opportunist 4th quarter run.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Good going, Mitch.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Tuck it and go.
0:19:25 > 0:19:32Tuck it and go.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34He does not look sweet in his gear, though.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36I have no idea what that means!
0:19:36 > 0:19:38The Saints won it with Wil Lutz kicking the half.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Look at me.
0:19:39 > 0:19:49Carolina versus Tampa Bay, Jonathan Stewart actually
0:19:50 > 0:19:52put Carolina on top, diving over from a yard
0:19:52 > 0:19:54at the end of the 1st quarter.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55There you go.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Tampa Bay continued their underwhelming season.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59They only managed three points in this game Jameis Winston
0:19:59 > 0:20:00sacked in the 2nd quarter.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01There they are, struggling.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03And Kelvin Benjamin's 25 yard touchdown sealed it.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04There you go, Cam.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Going up for the big guy.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07The Panthers move to 5/3.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13There you go, I told you Kam throws it up to the big guy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16We ought to just pause and mention, Zach Miller from the Bears,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18terrible leg injury he suffered in this game.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Severed an artery, I think.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21He's actually had surgery to save his leg, hasn't he?
0:20:21 > 0:20:22So we wish him well.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Absolutely, you hate to see that happen.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Last week we talked about Buffalo and their turnovers
0:20:26 > 0:20:27and we highlighted Matt Milano.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30For one of the first times in the programme's history, we've
0:20:30 > 0:20:31got something right!
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Because he went and did this week against the Raiders.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Ran into the ball.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Being opportunistic and taking it back.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39This defense has done such a good job of this, man.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41All these guys have played really well within this system.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42It's amazing.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44They're playing well together, they really are.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I mean, it's not a team, not a team with a bunch
0:20:47 > 0:20:50of superstars in the defensive side of the ball, the blue collar,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53just like the coach said, they just seem to keep on winning.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Another four turnovers I think in that game.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58So they lead, as we spoke last week, they lead the league
0:20:58 > 0:20:59on turnover differentials.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00I think they're up to 14.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Here's a good stat for you.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05The last 19 teams who led the season in takeaways made the playoffs.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Of course.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Wow.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I guess they're going to make the playoffs!
0:21:09 > 0:21:19See.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Let's move on to talking about the New Orleans Saints
0:21:27 > 0:21:30and maybe unusually now we're going to talk about the Saints,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32we're not going to mention Drew Brees, OK.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35We're not going to analyse Drew Brees, we're going to look
0:21:35 > 0:21:37at something different because over the recent years their defense has
0:21:37 > 0:21:40been criticised a lot and yet Marshon Lattimore is playing
0:21:40 > 0:21:42superbly for them and you can take a look at him.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Oh, you know I love quarters now.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45I do.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46I love good quarters.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48And, you know, this was their issue, right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Their issue was the defensive back field.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53When you get a guy that starts to become your number one corner,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55the guy you can depend on, the guy that makes plays.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58You can do a lot of things defensively because now you've got
0:21:58 > 0:22:01a guy you trust back there to cover the number one receiver
0:22:01 > 0:22:02and make plays.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04His gameplay has now catapulted that defense.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05Corners are important.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Corners are very important.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09You're not going to get any argument out of me on that one,
0:22:09 > 0:22:10you need good corners.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12This guy's an outstanding young football player.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Rookie as well?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Exactly.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15A guy who likes to force it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You see him right there, ripping the ball out of out
0:22:18 > 0:22:19of Kenny Stills' hand.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21That's not something a lot of rookies are taught,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24that's something that has to be instinctive to him.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27And his coach is Aaron Glenn, who I played with, who taught me
0:22:27 > 0:22:28how to play the game.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29He's got a good coach.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30I know Aaron Glenn.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31AG, man.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32AG will teach you.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33Yeah, yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Coach them up.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37What's the most important thing he teaches a corner then?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Make plays.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Right, OK.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Really the most important thing, short-term memory.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43If you get beat, shake it off, go play again.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46With 31 divisional titles and eight Super Bowls between them,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Dallas and Washington have one of the biggest rivalries in the NFL.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Two heavyweights from the NFC East, Dallas are the highest valued
0:22:52 > 0:22:54franchise in world sport at $4.2 billion, with
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Washington in the Top 20 at a modest $2.95 billion.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59The glory days of the '80s and '90s may be a distant memory,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02but this is always a game that lives up to expectation.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04It's the classic of American cinema, but neither team exactly
0:23:04 > 0:23:07ripping up the prairie, more like like cautiously taking
0:23:07 > 0:23:16the middle lane of the turn pike.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Won three, lost three - not the sort of dash expected
0:23:21 > 0:23:22by an owner like Jerry Jones.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Foot to the floor or I'll show you the door.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Now, take it up.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Washington will want to recover quickly after being
0:23:28 > 0:23:36ripped up by the Eagles.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38COMMENTATOR: Ezekiel Elliott, up to the 29 yard line.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39Tripped up by...
0:23:39 > 0:23:40Is that a fumble?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42And it is.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Only one time all of last year did Ezekiel Elliott lose a fumble.
0:23:45 > 0:23:52It was against the Washington Redskins.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54And on the first play from scrimmage coughs it up today.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57You see right there, as he's starting to go down,
0:23:57 > 0:23:58the ball is knocked out.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01It's Matt Ioannidis who gets his hand in there and, as you said, Tom,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Ezekiel Elliott has not put the ball on the ground all season long.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08And here, on the first play of the game, after a big gain,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12the Redskins have the ball with great fill position.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Washington opened the scoring on their next possession
0:24:14 > 0:24:23with Rose's 38 yard field goal.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25COMMENTATOR: Elliott, to the end And touchdown
0:24:25 > 0:24:28for Ezekiel Elliott.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31How about that hole opened up by that Cowboy's offensive line?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34He goes 15 yards, he doesn't even get touched.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38When you look at this Redskins offense and you see what the Cowboys
0:24:38 > 0:24:42were able to do on their possession and go right down the field and come
0:24:42 > 0:24:44away with a touchdown, there immediately is pressure
0:24:44 > 0:24:50on Kirk Cousins and being able to answer.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Redskins picking up, wide open.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59And inside the 10 is Crowder, down and a fly.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Kelley, again, and this time he's in the end zone.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Touchdown, Washington.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Rose was on target from 41 yards to give the Redskins a six point
0:25:09 > 0:25:13lead with ten minutes left in the second quarter.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15COMMENTATOR: Great protection.
0:25:15 > 0:25:25Down the middle, looking for Butler.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30And excellent coverage out there by Swearinger and the Cowboys,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33for the first time in this game will putt, 36 yard try.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Nick Rose grew up in Highland Park, Texas, that's your old hood.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Yeah, well, it's still my hood!
0:25:37 > 0:25:38And it's blocked.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43It looked like he had problems with his snap and the hold,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46again, under these wet conditions, and that's Scandrick with the ball.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48And he's still on his feet, down the sideline.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Scandrick may take it the entire way.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53It finally dropped inside the five yard line.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It was Tyrone Crawford who blocked the field goal try.
0:25:57 > 0:26:032nd and goal, Elliott again.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05This time into the end zone is Ezekiel Elliott,
0:26:05 > 0:26:14his second touchdown today.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15This is Thompson.
0:26:15 > 0:26:25And the ball is loose.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31It looks like a scramble for it the Cowboys may
0:26:31 > 0:26:33have recovered again.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35That would be back-to-back touches for the Redskins if this ball
0:26:35 > 0:26:36is recovered by the Cowboys.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Cousins put it on the ground there, their last offensive position.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And now Thompson after the hit on his kick off return.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44I tell you, the Redskins, a lot of self-inflicted
0:26:44 > 0:26:45wounds in this ball game.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47As the weather worsened, Mike Nugent helped Dallas pull away
0:26:47 > 0:26:49with three field goals.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51This one, from 37 yards, extended the Dallas lead to 13
0:26:51 > 0:26:53points in the dying minutes of the game.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56COMMENTATOR: 1st and goal, this one's not over yet.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00And touchdown.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Josh Doctson, his third touchdown of the year and the first receiving
0:27:03 > 0:27:07and passing touchdown in this game and now all of a sudden with 435
0:27:07 > 0:27:16to go, the Redskins have life.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Well, the red zone has been a problem for the Redskins
0:27:18 > 0:27:21and yet they're able to get Doctson There on the backline
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and a big target like that, someone 6 foot 2, they're able
0:27:24 > 0:27:25to put it in his area.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27The right tackle, left early.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28In the air and it's intercepted.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32By Byron Jones and he's in for a touchdown to put this one
0:27:32 > 0:27:34on ice for the Cowboys.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37David Irving gets a hand on the ball and Byron Jones there then
0:27:37 > 0:27:42for the interception and this game is over.
0:27:42 > 0:27:52Take a look at Jake now for the interception talking
0:27:52 > 0:27:55to Kirk Cousins and the handshake right there says it all.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00He's proud of his quarterback and the way he hung in there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03We've got guys in there that don't even know the offense,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05been with the team a day against this defense.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Kirk Cousins hung in there and did about all he could do.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09The cowboys coming away a 33-19 win.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Ezekiel was outstanding today and he had to be.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13You said the conditions were challenging throughout.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15We're at our best when we run the football.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19We really needed to run it and run it a lot and run
0:28:19 > 0:28:21it well in this game, particularly in the second-half
0:28:21 > 0:28:22when the weather got even worse.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25At the end of the day, usually you can see a successful red
0:28:25 > 0:28:29skin game when you look at the run path ratio if it's lop sided,
0:28:29 > 0:28:35like it was today, you're probably looking at a loss.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38You know, very few times will we win those games.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40You know, we need to be balanced to be successful.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42So, yes, I wish I had that back.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44They're very much hanging in there, aren't they, the Cowboys.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45They are 4/3.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Jason Garrett there says, "we're at our best when we run the ball."
0:28:49 > 0:28:51That was Ezekiel Elliott's third best game of his career.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Yeah.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54That's what works for them, that running formula.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56The main reason for that, is that defense.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59You want to keep them off the field as much as possible.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And when you run the ball, you control the clock,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04you give them rest and you have that big offensive line.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05You run behind them.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08But it now looks like he is going to get the six game ban
0:29:08 > 0:29:09for domestic violence.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11He's got 24-hours to appeal, but the ruling has
0:29:11 > 0:29:12now been handed down.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14It's been hanging over him all season.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Yes, it has, and he's continued to play at a very high-level,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20but this is going to be a blow for the Dallas Cowboys
0:29:20 > 0:29:22because their offensive line, that offensive line isn't playing
0:29:22 > 0:29:24particularly well this year as they have been
0:29:24 > 0:29:25in the last couple of years.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26It's not settled, is it?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It's not.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33So you can't just plug anybody back there, you have to have a special
0:29:33 > 0:29:35talent, like Ezekiel Elliott, and him missing those six games
0:29:35 > 0:29:37is going to be a blow.
0:29:37 > 0:29:43And those games are Kansas City, Atlanta, Philidelphia, the Chargers,
0:29:43 > 0:29:44Washington and the Giants.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47It doesn't matter what kind of form the Giants are in,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50it is a divisional game.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53With hindsight, do you do you think that the Cowboys might have wished
0:29:53 > 0:29:56they'd taken the ban at the start of the season for him?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Given the situation they are in now and what they have got coming
0:29:59 > 0:30:02up, or is it a bit too hypothetical to say?
0:30:02 > 0:30:03You've got to let him play.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06You don't do how this thing is going to turn out.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09You didn't know, so you have to let him play as many games
0:30:09 > 0:30:15as you possibly can.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Those were tough games to lose though.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I mean, if this guy, they can literally go one and five
0:30:20 > 0:30:22and two and four on those six games.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25So I think it's a really tough situation to be
0:30:25 > 0:30:26in for the Dallas Cowboys.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29You say they could go one and five and two and four,
0:30:29 > 0:30:30even if they had Elliott?
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Even if they had Elliott.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Because of how tough it is?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Exactly.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37That is a murderous row of games they have to go into right now.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38OK.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41We're going to take a look at another team from the NFC East
0:30:41 > 0:30:43now, Osi's much loved Philadelphia Eagles.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44It was...
0:30:44 > 0:30:45Look at that.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46It was a wet afternoon in Philadelphia.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49The Eagles looking to extend their winning streak to six games.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51At the end of the second corner, Carson Wentz put
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Zach Ertz in from one yard, and that was the opening touchdown.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55He's having a year.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Moments later this happened.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Jalen Mills intercepting CJ Beathard, so a second
0:30:58 > 0:30:59touchdown from 37 yards.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01He was all over the place.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02He got there eventually.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04And then this probably shows the confidence of Wentz
0:31:04 > 0:31:06that they went for the two?
0:31:06 > 0:31:07Oh, yes, and there is Alshon Jefferies.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09It is good to see those two with chemistry.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11They had to get that going.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13That will be good for them.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16CJ Beathard then put in Matt Breda for a 49ers touchdown.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19This was in the third quarter but it was a consolation really.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Wentz responded immediately with the 53 yard touchdown
0:31:20 > 0:31:22pass to Alshon Jeffery.
0:31:22 > 0:31:29That was the 50-50 balls.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33The receiver has to go up and make a play for you, make you look good.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36You put your trust in your receiver there, don't you?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Got to.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39LeGarrette Blount in the fourth quarter went in from 12 yards,
0:31:39 > 0:31:41that sealed it for the Eagles.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Wentz threw for 211 yards and he leads the NFL
0:31:43 > 0:31:52with 19 touchdown passes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Now we're recording the show on the last day where it's possible
0:31:55 > 0:31:56for the trades to take place.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Let's look at a couple which have taken place,
0:31:59 > 0:32:02starting with the Eagles, who I think it would be fair to say,
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Osi, surprised everybody, around lunchtime UK time,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Well done to our graphics team who managed to superimpose an Eagles
0:32:10 > 0:32:11shirt onto Jay Ajayi.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13We don't know his number yet.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14But wow, that took everyone by surprise.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20Incredible.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22For the Miami Dolphins, who are so reliant on the running
0:32:22 > 0:32:25game, to trade away their star running back to the Philadelphia
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Eagles who already have a good running back in LeGarrette Blount,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30going from strength to strength, don't understand why they did this,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32but they must have had a reason.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You don't understand why it happened from a Miami perspective?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36From both perspectives, from a Miami perspective
0:32:36 > 0:32:37and the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39You don't know why the Eagles did that?
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Are you kidding me?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43You have two downhill powerful runners now and they think,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45they are one of the best teams in the league.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48You have two of those guys and you can run all game.
0:32:48 > 0:32:49Man!
0:32:49 > 0:32:52It will be another New Orleans situation when Adrian Peterson went
0:32:52 > 0:32:54to the Saints and he's not getting the touches.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56He's going to bring discord to that franchise.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58At the moment, would you expect the Eagles to use LeGarrette Blount
0:32:58 > 0:33:01through till deep into the third quarter and then use Jay Ajayi
0:33:01 > 0:33:02impact wise third, fourth?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05I think they'll change it, man and keep it fresh.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07You got two the same running styles.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10That was the exact same plans the New Orleans Saints had.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12You don't bring anything into what the Philadelphia Eagles
0:33:12 > 0:33:14have going on right now.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17The Dolphins got humped by the Ravens on Thursday night
0:33:17 > 0:33:25and Adam Gates afterwards, the head coach of the Dolphins said
0:33:25 > 0:33:28we have got to stop trying to hit home runs all the time.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31It's on the running back, do your job, it's not hard to do.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34That would imply it's not as much down to football is down
0:33:34 > 0:33:35to attitude, would it?...
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Attitude reflects leadership and if they got rid of a guy
0:33:38 > 0:33:40who is a pro ballplayer, it has to have something
0:33:40 > 0:33:41to do with his attitude.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I don't know what's going on, man.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45We're not hearing the whole story.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47You think there is something we will find out later?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49The other one that took lots of people by surprise
0:33:49 > 0:33:52in the early hours of this morning, San Francisco drafted
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Jimmy Garoppolo from the New England Patriots
0:33:54 > 0:34:01just for a second-round pick in the draft.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07They get a guy who is going to be a huge free quarterback and they get
0:34:07 > 0:34:10to watch him for the rest of the season, to see if he's
0:34:10 > 0:34:12what they thought he was.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13But what is New England doing?
0:34:13 > 0:34:16They don't have a back-up.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21They got all the chips on the table.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Tom Brady sprains an ankle, what what are we doing?
0:34:24 > 0:34:26The New England Patriots feel they could put anybody back
0:34:26 > 0:34:28there at quarterback and they will be successful.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30I think the 49ers did release Brian Hoyer.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32He has been at the Patriots before.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Maybe he'll be the back-up and now the Patriots
0:34:36 > 0:34:39have a draft pick to get one of the quarterbacks in the...
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Whose number do you have?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Who are you calling to get this info?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Bill!
0:34:45 > 0:34:48A direct line to Bill.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Would you start Jimmy Garoppolo immediately, because CJ Beathard has
0:34:50 > 0:34:52been getting beaten up behind that San Francisco line?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I would get him in there as soon as possible.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56You want to look at him.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00I would give him at least a week to get him used to the system
0:35:00 > 0:35:01and then put him in.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04OK. Our third feature game comes from Detroit where the Lions host
0:35:04 > 0:35:05the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Detroit are yet to get going this season, stalling somewhat at 3-3.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Their opponents on the other hand appear to be on a run of form.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Since Pittsburgh took Kansas City's undefeated record in week six
0:35:13 > 0:35:17they've very much looked a team hungry to add to their record six
0:35:17 > 0:35:26Super Bowl victories.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28The crowd already roaring.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31That's Antonio Brown to the right side sending off wide.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33An open man.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38The first play of the night is a big play.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40They sent three receivers to the right side and down
0:35:40 > 0:35:41the field they go.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44STUDIO: The Steelers eventually settled for a Chris Boswell 34 yard
0:35:44 > 0:35:47field goal to open the scoring, before Detroit struck back twice
0:35:47 > 0:35:50with the boot of Matt Prater, once from 48 yards in the first
0:35:50 > 0:35:56quarter and then again from 37 yards in the second.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59Detroit lead by three with nine minutes left before half-time.
0:35:59 > 0:36:093rd & 9.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Roethlisberger, stepping away from pressure.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20An adjustment by Brown at the 5-yard line.
0:36:20 > 0:36:27He got the inside position on Killebrew, the safety
0:36:27 > 0:36:29to haul it into set up a 1st down and goal.
0:36:29 > 0:36:301st down and goal.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Keep it on the ground.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34And hesitation pays off with a touchdown, Le'Veon Bell
0:36:34 > 0:36:36picking and threading his way and waiting to see what
0:36:36 > 0:36:44the blocking provides.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46And some bench pressing off the back of Smith-Schuster!
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Matt Prater kicked over from 51 yards to leave the Lions trailing
0:36:49 > 0:36:51by one with two minutes left in the half.
0:36:51 > 0:36:533rd down and one from the 23-yard line.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Bell loses the ball.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56The Lions have it.
0:36:56 > 0:37:02They do.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Anthony Zettel right there is going to get his hands
0:37:04 > 0:37:06on the football and there it goes.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09STUDIO: Detroit converted the fumble into another Prater field goal
0:37:09 > 0:37:12to take a two point lead going into half-time.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16After half-time Chris Boswell's 38 yard field goal hit the right
0:37:16 > 0:37:18upright but bounced in.
0:37:18 > 0:37:25The Steelers were back in front by one.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28The crowd in full throat on the 3rd down and nine.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Roethlisberger gives a lot of room here.
0:37:30 > 0:37:35JuJu Smith-Schuster off to the races inside the 30, the 20, the ten.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Touchdown.
0:37:36 > 0:37:4697 yards.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Free plays after a great goal-line stand and the youngest
0:37:48 > 0:37:50player in the league goes all the way.
0:37:50 > 0:37:56This is unbelievable.
0:37:56 > 0:38:04Watch this move, coming down the field against Diggs who just
0:38:04 > 0:38:07got his partner Antonio Brown, gets it and now it is a footrace.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10We have talked about how tough he is, what a great block
0:38:10 > 0:38:13he is and now a holder of an NFL record with four touchdowns
0:38:13 > 0:38:14before his 21st birthday.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Holy smokes!
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Detroit were stopped at Pittsburgh's's 1-yard line,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19settling for another Prater field goal, to trail by just five early
0:38:19 > 0:38:21in the fourth quarter.
0:38:21 > 0:38:312nd down and one.
0:38:32 > 0:38:38Caught.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43That is Ebron again.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Ebron inside the 30, the 20 and out of bounds
0:38:46 > 0:38:53around the 9-yard line.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56The guy they love to hate, the guy who's in all sorts of trade rumours,
0:38:56 > 0:39:06two big plays in a row.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09So now it is fourth down and seven, and that takes us
0:39:09 > 0:39:10to the two-minute warning.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Stafford.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Under pressure.
0:39:14 > 0:39:22It is almost intercepted but they can turn it over anyway.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Ryan Shazier might have ended the night, so they come up empty
0:39:25 > 0:39:26again, close to the goal-line.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27So 3rd down and one.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Comes down to a stop and in effect the end of the for Pittsburgh.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Shovel pass.
0:39:32 > 0:39:33And that's a 1st down.
0:39:33 > 0:39:41Smith-Schuster, the does it again.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42They can run back clock
0:39:42 > 0:39:44all the way down to a six and two record.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48We tip our cap to Detroit and they were a game bunch.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51We knew that they would be.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53This team is awesome at coming back.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I think they broke the NFL record last year.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56It starts with the quarterback.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58He gets better as the game goes on.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59You can't trick him forever.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00He really challenged us tonight.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02We are thankful to get the victory.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05A good win for the Steelers who we have talked about a lot
0:40:05 > 0:40:08recently so we are just going to move on, and we will
0:40:08 > 0:40:10shape our final game from Monday Night Football.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12After five rounds in the season, Kansas City
0:40:12 > 0:40:13were the undefeated team.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15However, two straight losses and doubts about the Chiefs
0:40:15 > 0:40:16seem to be creeping in.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Visitors to Kansas City whether Denver Broncos,
0:40:18 > 0:40:28themselves coming off a shocking 21-0 loss to the LA Chargers.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40Wouldn't it be something if he went crazy against his former team-mates?
0:40:40 > 0:40:47He is relishing the opportunity. He fumbles the football. Marcus Peters
0:40:47 > 0:41:01off and running to the end zone. Touchdown Kansas City.
0:41:02 > 0:41:15Open receiver. Touchdown Kansas City. Trevor Simeon on 1st down.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Lovely pass intercepted. Terrible throw in. Peters has it in his hands
0:41:19 > 0:41:28or the second time tonight. It is swung down by Virgil Reid. Simeon
0:41:28 > 0:41:40throws on the run. The ball up for grabs and intercepted.
0:41:44 > 0:41:51It looked like he lost the ball in the air. He went ducking. The ball
0:41:51 > 0:41:57came at his direction and he was open, wide-open. There are 12 red
0:41:57 > 0:42:05zone possessions. It was dropped by Benny Fowler. It would have been a
0:42:05 > 0:42:15touchdown. Unbelievable. Another play for it by Simeon. Dumped off.
0:42:15 > 0:42:25Fowler weaving through the traffic and makes it to the 38-yard line. 13
0:42:25 > 0:42:28red zone trips and now another.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35They come over to help.
0:42:44 > 0:42:552nd & 10. A recipe for disaster, that's what happened. The fifth
0:42:55 > 0:43:04turnover of the night by the Broncos. That is an acceptable. The
0:43:04 > 0:43:12tenth player of the tribe by Denver. Trying to make it a one score game.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14A touchdown. AJ Dobie.
0:43:18 > 0:43:23So early to be counting the winds. We had two losses in five days. For
0:43:23 > 0:43:29us, let's just get back on track. Tonight we had five turnovers which
0:43:29 > 0:43:35is unacceptable. You cannot win games that way. To win, you we have
0:43:35 > 0:43:39got to stop that part.This
0:43:45 > 0:43:50you hate beating yourself. Too many mistakes. For me that is the most
0:43:50 > 0:43:57frustrating part.We will come onto Trevor Simeon and the Broncos in a
0:43:57 > 0:44:00moment. A big win for Kansas City. No question. They needed to get this
0:44:00 > 0:44:04win. It was a divisional game, a game they absolutely had to win and
0:44:04 > 0:44:14they showed up.Adeptly played well. Travis Kelsey was excellent.I like
0:44:14 > 0:44:20to see him play well. They needed to show that they are a dominant team.
0:44:20 > 0:44:25They can bounce back from losses and they did.And they have the Cowboys
0:44:25 > 0:44:30in Dallas next week. That is mouthwatering.Let's not overlook
0:44:30 > 0:44:39Marcus Peters. He is outstanding. Justin Hewson also had a fantastic
0:44:39 > 0:44:44game. This is a team which has some outstanding defensive players.
0:44:44 > 0:44:49Trevor Simeon had a difficult evening. When we were watching that
0:44:49 > 0:44:57game back, at one point in the studio, you said what was that?
0:44:57 > 0:44:59it is a divisional game.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01It wasn't on that play.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02Yeah.
0:45:02 > 0:45:03When he threw it right here.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05He's throwing across his body to the backside.
0:45:05 > 0:45:06Well, it's the next one, actually.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09The main thing about him, man, is he's not going
0:45:09 > 0:45:10to throw you into wins.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13You know, his whole thing, how he got the job was being
0:45:13 > 0:45:14smart with the football.
0:45:14 > 0:45:16That's how he got the job.
0:45:16 > 0:45:17He's not throwing them to win.
0:45:17 > 0:45:18Is he panicking?
0:45:18 > 0:45:21He's panicking and they're asking him to do a little bit too much.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24I think he's asking a little bit too much of himself.
0:45:24 > 0:45:25They have to be able to run...
0:45:25 > 0:45:26That right there.
0:45:26 > 0:45:27Wow, what was that?
0:45:27 > 0:45:29What are you doing here, man.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31You don't do that in high school sports, I mean.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Throwing the ball across your body is something that you'rele taught
0:45:34 > 0:45:36from day one to never do, and he's pressing.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39He's trying to go out there and do some things that
0:45:39 > 0:45:42are not in his character, not in his physical makeup, and he's
0:45:42 > 0:45:43just getting destroyed.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45I also wonder, I mean he said in his press conference,
0:45:45 > 0:45:46the O-line played well.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Well, he got hit a few times in that game.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52I wonder the more you hit, you get hit, the more you panic
0:45:52 > 0:45:55and then the more you make mistakes and you're in a sort of downward
0:45:55 > 0:45:58spiral or a vicious circle, whatever you want to call it.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59It is's a tough place to be.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02But you got to, when you're playing like that,
0:46:02 > 0:46:04good players always get back to the basics, the fundamentals.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05You've got to lock in.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06He's not doing that.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09But how can you get back to the basics if you are afraid
0:46:09 > 0:46:11of getting whacked?
0:46:11 > 0:46:12You get the ball out quick.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14It happens all the time to quarterbacks.
0:46:14 > 0:46:17They get that pressure on them, they start to get the ball out
0:46:17 > 0:46:18quick, make quick decisions.
0:46:18 > 0:46:19Make it easier on their O-line.
0:46:19 > 0:46:20They can help that process.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22What did Denver do at quarterback situation.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Make it easier on their O-line.
0:46:24 > 0:46:25They can help that process.
0:46:25 > 0:46:26What did Denver do at quarterback situation.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Vance Joseph after the game said, "anything's possible
0:46:28 > 0:46:30when talking about a change."
0:46:30 > 0:46:32But Paxton Lynch is injured at the moment.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33He's got a problem with his shoulder.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36To come full circle - this show isn't just thrown together -
0:46:36 > 0:46:37they have Brock Osweiler.
0:46:37 > 0:46:39We saw him on the touchline.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41They do have Brock Osweiler and when he was there
0:46:41 > 0:46:43with Peyton Manning, he was the back up to
0:46:43 > 0:46:45Peyton Manning, he got in there because Peyton Manning got
0:46:45 > 0:46:48injured, and he actually played quite well for the Denver Broncos.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51The fact that they have Siemian in there playing like garbage
0:46:51 > 0:46:54and they still refuse to put in Brock Osweiler, let's me know
0:46:54 > 0:46:56that his confidence is completely shot and this man might be
0:46:56 > 0:46:57through in the NFL.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Have they mismanaged it since Peyton Manning went,
0:46:59 > 0:47:02particularly when you consider that it's John Elway a famous Denver
0:47:02 > 0:47:03quarterback who is in charge?
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Would you call it mismanagement or something else?
0:47:05 > 0:47:08It could be because you would think John Elway would be able
0:47:08 > 0:47:09to pick a quarterback.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12I mean, that's what he was, one of the best.
0:47:12 > 0:47:16He would be able to see a guy and say - hey, this is our guy.
0:47:16 > 0:47:17I think they just missed on Paxton Lynch.
0:47:17 > 0:47:20Yeah, they had the opportunity to sign our good friend
0:47:20 > 0:47:22Colin Kaepernick, decided to pass against that and now they're
0:47:22 > 0:47:24paying the dividends of such a bad decision.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26OK, let's just show you the standings before
0:47:26 > 0:47:30we leave you this evening.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32We will go with the AFC first of all.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34As ever in the east New England are quietly
0:47:34 > 0:47:37going about their business here, they've won four on the trot.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39If you look at the North, Pittsburgh Steelers
0:47:39 > 0:47:41are really stretching away from everybody else there.
0:47:41 > 0:47:42As far as the South is concerned.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45You are looking at really one of three here, Houston's narrow loss
0:47:45 > 0:47:47actually sees them sit third now.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49As far as the West is concerned, as we've been saying,
0:47:49 > 0:47:51Kansas City have broken that two game losing streak
0:47:51 > 0:47:53and they're now 6-2.
0:47:53 > 0:47:54In the NFC in the East.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Philadelphia are on a six game win streak and they're
0:47:56 > 0:47:57top of the NFC East.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00Minnesota are top of the North.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03New Orleans have now won five on the trot and they top the South.
0:48:03 > 0:48:08In the West, Seattle and the Rams are level.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Don't forget that we have The NFL Show at 11.50pm this Saturday
0:48:11 > 0:48:13after Match of the Day, when we'll talk more
0:48:13 > 0:48:15on the season so far and have highlights of Thursday's game
0:48:15 > 0:48:19between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets.
0:48:19 > 0:48:19between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23You can catch that show, as you can this show, on the iPlayer.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24That's all we have time for tonight.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26We'll see you next week.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29I'm off to give Bill a little ring!
0:48:29 > 0:48:33London has had its games and now it's all American all the way.
0:48:33 > 0:48:39The regular season hits halfway.
0:48:39 > 0:48:47On the road north to Minnesota and Super Bowl 52.
0:48:47 > 0:48:50The nights grow longer, the mercury in Minneapolis grows colder.
0:48:50 > 0:48:58The fevered brow of football grows hotter - only in the NFL!
