Week 13 NFL This Week

And it will be time for these

two teams to settle it

between the white lines.

COMMENTATOR:

No way.

He's going to fire

towards the end zone.

Reno have lost have lost the ball

the ball up the near side.

Montana throw.

The end zone.

Touchdown.

Looking down field, going deep.

A one man wrecking crew.

Unbelievable!

Let's go!

How did he do that?

End zone.

Oh, and caught, for the win.

Unstoppable!

Hello and welcome to NFL This Week,

in a week where the New York Giants

benched their 2-time Super Bowl

winner Eli Manning.

We thought what a great idea!

So I've benched Osi.

Seems a bit too happy about it!

So out with old and in

with the new, I say.

Particularly when the old

is trying to make your

presenting gig on the show!

So joining former NFL cornerback

Jason Bell this week is my favourite

pundit who's won a Super Bowl.

You're all right, Jason,

you're still my favourite

who has not won it!

It's a huge welcome back to the show

to Super Bowl 45 winner and former

Green Bay Packers wide reciever Greg

Jennings.

Thank you so much.

I have never seen this before!

I love having you on the show.

Love it.

Excellent.

We'll hear more from the Greg later,

he's got straight off

a plane to do this.

He loves being on the show so much.

But first let's look at the playoff

picture coming into week 13.

So in the AFC both Pittsburgh

and New England occupy

the number 1 and 2 seeds.

Behind them is Tennessee

who are fighting it out

with divisional rivals Jacksonville

for the AFC South.

Baltimore are also sniffing around

in the wildcard spots too

and will fancy their chances.

The NFC picture is one

of intense competition.

Nine and seven game win streaks

respectively for Philadelphia

and Minnesota put them in comanding

positions here but behind them

you just can't call it with 5

rounds of games to go.

8 other teams are still

mathematically in the hunt including

the 7-4 Seattle who don't even make

the graphic but are well

and truly still in the mix.

Our boy has come back to the sofa,

it would have been too

much trouble otherwise!

And so we start at the Superdome

in New Orleans where both

New Orleans and Carolina are locked

at the top in the NFC South.

A crucial divisional game for both

teams in this year's most exciting

and competitive division.

COMMENTARY: Thomas to Kamara.

On the edge.

Gets the block.

Gets in.

That shows some of the

toughness that Kamara has.

He gets blown up,

he just keeps going.

Stewart, touchdown.

What an answer by

Carolina on the road.

On first down.

Ingram!

He gets out.

Shifts, inside the 40.

What a run.

Ingram still going, down to the 11.

You see this hole that he has

to run the ball through.

And what a great job upfront

by that offensive line.

2nd and one.

Ingram!

Takes it in.

Just the counterplay.

They're going to pull

out the left guard.

Senio Kelemete making

the start today.

And pretty much untouched.

Funchess.

What a throw.

But dropped.

Had his hands on it inside the 40.

But couldn't hold it in.

Here is a drop by Palardy.

Going to throw it.

Incomplete.

That just looked weird

from the beginning.

Palardy got the snap and then

just lost the handle.

Just dropped it.

There were going to be men downfield

and all kinds of stuff.

You know, even if he was trying

to make something happen.

Third down and eight.

Drew Brees steps up, touchdown.

Michael Thomas.

Thomas comes up the field,

how do you lose sight of him?

Caught for the first down.

Ball is out.

And that's exactly

what Carolina needed.

He just punches it right out

of Josh Hill's hand.

That's great work.

Third down and four.

McCaffrey left alone.

Christian McCaffrey

for the touchdown.

And it looked like it was AJ Clyne

who should have been

in coverage on McCaffrey.

And just a blown assignment.

Everybody else was on a man.

And McCaffrey out to his left

and no one goes with him.

And that's about as easy as it gets.

2nd and four.

Kamara.

Another big run,

he makes it look easy.

Touchdown, Saints.

You watch out when Kamara,

the quickness that he has,

he has got amazing speed.

And the power at

the end of this run.

Look at the cuts that he makes

once he gets the ball.

He comes off that tackles block

and then it's just sheer power.

And he blows right through Coleman.

They're going to give

the ball to Carolina

with good field position,

with a whole lot of time

left in this game.

Hits it.

Clay from inside the 45.

And a tackle from behind.

Ball is out.

And it belongs to the Saints.

Clay last week had the big punt

return for a touchdown

and this week, not so good.

STUDIO: The Saints converted

the turnover into a 31 yard

field goal to lead 31-14.

COMMENTARY: Under five to go.

Newton has to pull it down.

Chasing it from behind.

And a big game.

Newton still going.

Cuts across the field and at 25.

A 31 yard carry by Cam Newton.

Second down.

Newton.

Hangs in, throws.

Funchess.

What a catch!

Touchdown.

Crawley was in a good position

and looked like he could have driven

underneath that throw.

And once it was high, Crawley then

unable to get a hand on it.

Wow.

Here is play along the sideline.

And we are going to see

who they are going to give it to.

Was that saved before

it went out of bounds?

OFFICIAL: The ruling on the field

is the ball on ten yards,

it was illegal recovery

by the kicking team.

First down, Carolina.

COMMENTARY: Well, they have given it

to Carolina at the moment.

By doing so they are saying

Devin Funchess was up in the air

before he flipped it.

And he's not.

And the challenge flag comes

from the Saints sideline.

OFFICIAL: After review, the Carolina

player was out of bounds.

Therefore it is a free kick.

COMMENTARY: Out on the edge.

Kamara makes the play.

And has a first down.

Another big one for Kamara.

Leaps down inside the 30.

The Saints have swept Carolina

in their season's series.

And they are alone atop the NFC

South at nine and three.

We have an extremely tough division.

You know, we've got three teams that

are all vying for the top spot.

And certainly the

play-off opportunity.

But you know, no more important

game than the next game.

And you know, coming back from LA

last week, you know,

we knew that the last four out

of five for us were

all divisional games.

So this is where our best

football needs to be played.

We just have to move

forward, the optimistic

about our opportunities.

Knowing that the world just

doesn't stop because

the Panthers lost today.

You know, we have

to learn from this.

We will learn from this.

And we will be better

and prepare for Minnesota.

First of all I think

we are all grateful that the world

doesn't stop when Carolina lose!

That would just be

horrendous for all of us!

A massive win for the Saints,

given the state of the division.

We haven't seen what Atlanta

did yet, so let's try

not to give it away.

But if you're going to get

into the play-offs in a tight

division, you have got

to beat your rivals at home.

Huge win for New Orleans Saints.

This is a team that is battling

with all the other teams

for their division crown.

And for them to come out and play

the way they did, coming off a loss,

and performing the way

they performed, outstanding win

for that football team.

Let's talk Alvin Kamara

then, who we've talked

about a little bit on this show.

But he is now one of the sort

of biggest threats, multitalented,

multipurpose, offensive threat

in the league.

He is, because he can do it all.

He can cast the ball

out of the backfield.

He can run between the tackles.

He can get outside on the edge.

You don't really have

an answer for him.

When you look defensively

at the linebackers that he had to go

up against, they are very talented.

And this is what he does.

This is who he is.

And he's helped because of his

counterpart in the backfield

with him, taking a lot of load off.

This is what the Saints do,

they lean on the run.

And Alvin Kamara is having

an outstanding year.

He forces a lot of mistackles

and that is something that

makes him so dynamic.

Out of nine carries I think

he had five mistackles.

I mean, that is crazy

for a guy like that.

And I agree with Greg,

the fact that he doesn't have

to carry the load by himself,

that means he has fresh legs every

time he gets the ball.

Yes, I mean he is an

outstanding football player.

Ingram is the guy,

he is the work horse.

He's the guy who really

carries the load.

But Kamara is the

change of pace guy.

Much like Darren Sproles

was for them years ago.

And he is the same type

of football player.

I mean the stats are

really impressive.

Particularly over

the last five weeks.

And the balance between his passing,

his receiving yards and his

rushing yards as well.

There is a real balance there.

It is.

And here's the thing,

what you just alluded

to, Darren Sproles -

he did the same thing

for New Orleans Saints

when Reggie Bush was there

every down back.

Or they wanted him to be

there every down back.

Darren Sproles came

in and changed the pace.

Could catch the ball

out of the backfield.

Could really hurt you

splitting him out wide.

But could get outside the tackles,

could run in between the tackles.

You really have to focus

in on the entire, the entirety

of his game, not just one area.

You all talked about how he has got

a partner in crime who takes

the load off him a little bit.

Is he benefiting also

from being the first season

and therefore teams do not know how

to deal with him?

Will he find next year harder?

I do not think so.

The reason why I say

it is Sean Peyton is just

an offensive genius

of a football coach.

He knows exactly how to utilise

all his football players.

Now if you start to key on Kamara,

he's going to change up his game

plan and start doing something else

until you decide to pay attention

to who he wants out there.

So he is going to find different

ways to get Kamara open no matter

what the defence tries to do.

Why did he go so low?

Why did he go in the third

round of the draft?

Listen, if you could pick them

correctly right now, we would put

all our money behind you!

I mean, it is hard.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Right, exactly.

I think he had one year

as a starter in college.

I mean, you just don't know

what you always get when it comes

to a guy coming out of college

in the league.

You kind of know the talent

is there but until you get him

in your facility and get him

on the field, you don't

know what you have.

What round did you get

picked in, Greg?

I got picked in the second round.

You see, so not all great players

go in the first round.

Sometimes they fall

to the second, third rounds.

And he is just a prime

example of that.

Or no round!

Or no round!

Exactly.

I'm here, I'm here!

If it is a big win for New Orleans,

it is a big defeat for Carolina,

given the fixtures they have got

left.

They have got Minnesota, Green Bay,

Aaron Rodgers could be back for that

game against Carolina.

They have got Tampa Bay as well

and they have got to go to Atlanta.

So I mean in the context

of the rest of their season,

that is a huge loss.

It is a huge loss and for me

it is more of a huge loss

because Carolina is one of those

teams that rides off emotion

because their leader in Cam Newton

is such an emotional player.

When he is going really well,

when he is emotionally high,

that team is typically winning.

When he is not, they're not.

But one thing we should all watch,

typically when Cam Newton suffers

a loss and the Carolina Panthers

lose, he bounces back

with an extremely strong game.

So Minnesota are going

to have their hands full.

It is going to be

a mouthwatering game.

We're going on the road this week

for a special NFL Show

coming from Atlanta.

We'll bring you a behind the scenes

look at their stunning

new $1.6 billion stadium and give

you highlights of the Falcons NFC

South match-up against New Orleans

on Thursday, as well as look ahead

to week 14 with some special guests.

That's all from 11.55pm on BBC One

after Match of the Day.

You can also catch

everything on the iPlayer.

Right let's take a look at some

of the other week 13 games.

And we are going to start

with the game between

the Vikings and the Falcons.

And Case Keenum marched

the Vikings to Atlanta

and took down the Falcons.

McKinnon's two yard touchdown

catch put the Vikings up

in the second quarter.

Matt Bryant kept the Falcons in it

with three field goals.

But Kyle Rudolph sealed

it for the Vikings.

Is he your mate?

Yes, I like him.

He signed an autograph

for my friend's son.

Good dude.

Well, that counts as

a friend in your book!

Anyhow, Vikings have won

eight on the bounce.

Greg, you were doing this game

for television, calling this game.

Jamies Winston back

after a three-week injury lay-off.

He had an awful second quarter.

He popped the ball up

to Dean Lowery to put them ten up.

Green Bay just hanging

in until Rogers gets back.

They are.

And what I have noticed is that

team morale is high.

That may have something to do

with that 12 guy looming

in the wings waiting

for his arrival.

And if they can hang in,

they might still have a chance

of making the play-offs.

Aaron Jones's touchdown

there winning it in overtime.

And the Packers go to six and six.

The Rampant Rams scored

two first-quarter

touchdowns in this game.

Including that interception.

You do wonder how that was not seen.

Because he's a big lad.

Anyhow, Arizona two touchdowns

in a row, including that one

to Larry Fitzgerald.

Sammy Watkins helped the Rams pull

away, they are nine and three now

on top of the NFC West.

The AFC East overlords,

the New England Patriots squared

off against the Bills.

First-half field goal fest.

The Patriots pulled away

in the third quarter.

Two Rex Burkhead touchdowns.

He has now had four in the last two.

They will find anybody

to run the ball there!

They will find anybody.

In the fourth quarter

Tre'Davious White picked Tom Brady.

Rob Gronkowski did that,

which we will discuss a little

bit more in a moment.

He got an unsportsmanlike

conduct penalty.

The Patriots are now at ten and two.

And this was a little feisty

clash on Monday evening.

Between the Bengals

and the Steelers.

The Bengals went 17 -

nil up in the first half thanks

to a couple of touchdowns to AJ

Green.

The second half belonged

to the Steelers, though.

Le'Veon Bell went in from 33 yards,

partly due to the fact the Bengals

just decided not to tackle him!

He didn't even touch him!

I know.

Antonio Brown took

that and a huge hit.

That is a tackle.

And they won it with Chris Boswell

kicking that field goal.

As time expired.

Like, what!

You know Case Keenum.

You live in Minneapolis.

I love Case Keenum, I do!

He came across as such a nice

guy on All Or Nothing.

He has been much maligned.

What he is doing at

the moment is fantastic.

Absolutely.

He has got that team

to rally behind him.

And more importantly

he knows who he is.

He knows he is a tough quarterback

that can get it done

if given opportunities.

And he is in a great system.

He has a great arsenal around him,

that offensive line is blocking

tremendous right now.

And he has the support of a defence

that gets him the ball back

and gives that offence more

opportunities every Sunday.

It is good, we should root

for the nice guys sometimes.

You know I'm a Minnesota fan!

Come on!

You laughed at me for saying

Case Keenum seems like a nice guy!

I have never seen you say it

like that, it makes me very

happy that you said that.

I mean, I like the guy.

You know what is crazy is how good

he is versus the pressure.

You would think a guy like him that

hasn't had the experience,

that would rattle him.

But he makes all good

throws under pressure.

Going into this game,

Atlanta had the best offence

in converting third down.

And Minnesota had the best defence

in stopping third down.

And Minnesota came out on top

in this game in stopping

the third down from Atlanta.

Yes, they did.

That Minnesota defence

is outstanding.

They are good on every single level.

Rush, linebacker and also secondary.

Going back to Case Keenum,

I know we all like him,

I know we all love him,

we think he is a great person.

But in my opinion, there is no

way this can continue

throughout the season.

Not with this defence.

No way.

Absolutely no way he's going to be

able to continue this

throughout this season.

At some point he is going to come

down in the worst possible

moment, mark my words.

You are just talking just to

have a conversation about nothing.

I said that about Alex Smith.

We're going to move on!

Just like you said this

offence would beat this

defence, and what happened.

Remember this conversation,

that is all I'm going to say.

He has to literally plummet, bottom

out, with the way their defence

plays and getting him the ball back.

And stifling other

offensive opponents.

You are saying that he is going to,

that is going to happen?

I'm telling you, at some point this

season, at the worst possible

moment, the old Case Keenum

of the Houston Texans,

the Case Keenum of the Los

Angeles Rams of last year,

is going to show up

at the Minnesota Vikings!

Different team, different person.

And he's got a great defence.

You know, he knows what he has to do

and he will do it well.

I'm just looking at the date!

I am rolling with this!

While you three keep arguing,

I just want to show you some stuff

from the Patriots game.

The first involves Tom Brady.

And his argument with his

offensive coordinator,

Josh McDaniels, during the game.

It was an incomplete

pass to Brandin Cooks.

What is brilliant about this

is that the argument is seen

through the voice now of Tony Romo.

Yeah, you're going to see Josh

like, oh, he was open.

And Thomas like, you know what,

I know he was open.

You know what, I know he was open!

I know it!

Just Tom, I'm just telling you...

Do you like that?

Do you like the arguments sometimes?

Are they just searching

for perfection?

I like them when they're not

directed towards me!

That is what is happening out there.

That is a little bit of a laugh.

This is not, what

Rob Gronkowski did.

He has got a one match ban for this.

Now whether he will appeal it

or not, I don't know.

But how would you

describe this, Osi?

I cannot even use the word that

I would use to describe this.

Cowardly?

Not cowardly, I do not

think he is a coward.

This is just stupid.

This is just dumb.

And we are not wrestling,

we not out here playing the WWE.

This is a national Football League.

The guy might have been holding you,

you might have got locked up.

And then you go and do

something so stupid.

I mean, he threw all his weight

into the head of an opponent

who was lying on the ground.

That could have seriously

injured Tre'Davious White.

Without question.

At the end of the day

this is a fraternity.

You are playing football games,

you're competing in your intensity.

You get emotionally involved,

heavily, obviously.

But at the end of the day you

are not out there hurting someone.

You would not want anybody

doing that to you.

So I was thoroughly

disappointed with his actions.

You know what, you made a point

that resonated with me.

He does all that wrestling and stuff

on off-season, he thought

he was out there wrestling.

Just like you said,

you have got to take care

of your brother out there.

We have got to look

out for each other.

OK, onto the next game.

What's not to love

about this next game?

Two top quarterbacks

in Seattle's Russell Wilson

and Carson Wentz of the 10-1 Eagles.

Philadelphia had a chance to secure

the NFC East, but for Seattle,

not only an opportunity to keep

in touch with divisional rivals

the LA Rams, but a reminder

to Philadelphia 4 years ago

they were the young upstarts.

The wheels of history are turning.

Going into week 13, ten and one,

a second-year quarterback

driving his team on.

Russell Wilson and the Super Bowl

champions of four seasons past.

Going into week 13, ten and one,

a second-year quarterback

driving his team on.

Carson Wentz and the Eagles.

Today, Wentz or Wilson, we will see.

COMMENTARY: Ball at the 11.

Within seconds of the quarter.

Wilson, throw in, caught.

Jimmy Graham, smoking

hot in the red zone.

And that is the first touchdown

Philadelphia is allowed in the first

quarter of this season.

You will see him go out and up,

outside receiver comes up,

just disrupts Jenkins enough,

cannot get his head

turned back around.

STUDIO: The Eagles clawed back three

points in the second quarter thanks

to Jake Elliott's 26

yard field goal.

It was 10-3 going into half-time.

COMMENTARY: And Wentz off to fake.

Benson fires.

Caught for a 1st & goal

by Jeffrey who takes the ball

inside the five yard line.

Second down and goal.

Wentz keeps it himself does

he get into the end zone,

the ball is going to pop out

of the end zone.

The question is did he come

across the line with the ball.

For the moment they're

going to rule a touchback.

The runner front of the ball

in the field of play.

It went out of the endzone

resulting in a touchdown.

Seattle's ball.

Pretty clear that Wentz lost

the ball before he crossed the line

and the smart play was made to let

the ball go out of the endzone.

You don't want to batter it out

if you are the Seahawks here.

A little initial credit

to Clark to get it out.

And then it looked like Sheldon

Richardson stripped it out of there.

And Wilson throws.

Doug Baldwin, to the endzone!

Touchdown.

You will see no safety

in the middle field,

which means Rodney McLeod,

the safety, has to cover

one-on-one against Doug Baldwin.

And it takes a gutsy

quarterback to make that throw.

Did that foot hit the ground?

Does he get it in?

Is it scraping?

Review.

The runner's foot dragged

out of bounds, the ball

at the one yard line.

It will be Seattle's ball.

1st & goal at the one.

3rd and goal.

Wilson looking for a win.

Touchdown.

Lockett.

Like going to the dentist.

They thought they had a touchdown

and then all of a sudden you've got

a 3rd and goal and in they go.

Here you go.

And what happens is all the traffic,

there is just no way to get

through as a defender.

You see Mills and it wasn't a pick.

But there's just no way to be able

to move your way through there.

Wilson saw it all the way.

Only a three-man rush this time.

The pressure put on Wentz.

They almost get him from behind.

Agholor into Seattle territory.

So Wentz on a three-man rush under

pressure, the 51 yard gain.

This is unbelievable.

Watch this throw, falling down,

getting tackled, and gets it

about 45 yards down the field.

I don't think that Byron Maxwell

thought he could throw it that far.

Three receivers all

set to the left side.

Play clocked at one.

Wentz steps up, avoid it,

throws to the end zone.

Caught, Agholor for the touchdown.

Over Maxwell again to make it

a one possession game.

Escaping the pressure,

keeping his eyes up the field

and finding space down

the field for Agholor.

Another 3rd down here, 3rd & 9.

Four man rush.

Wilson stepping up.

Going to run 40, going

to flip the ball to Davis.

The 35-yard line.

Philadelphia are going to contend

that it was a forward pass.

For the moment it is

ruled a backward pass.

It looked like it was at the very

least right down the line.

Let's see if we can get any marks.

Oh, boy.

That's close.

2nd & 11, halfway

through the quarter.

Man coverage for Graham.

And Wilson is going to throw,

McKissic for the score.

The plan was to put a cornerback

or at least a safety all night long

The plan was to put a cornerback

or at least a safety all night long

That time, Kendricks, a linebacker,

biting on the slant and go route

and that was too easy.

But it's 4th down, down

by 14, you've got 5.48.

Pressure again, fires too high.

Turning over on downs.

Third and four.

Wilson is going to get swallowed up

at the 33-yard line.

That's Barnett, the rookie, coming

in for the sack, so it's 4th down.

Philadelphia will get the ball back

as the clock continues to run

down to four minutes.

Three receivers set to the right.

They break back now.

Wentz rolling away,

going to air it out again.

Double coverage and picked off

by Maxwell, Byron Maxwell.

They've burned him a couple of times

tonight but he has the final answer.

The Seattle Seahawks withstanding

the losses of two thirds

of the Legion of Boom.

Russell Wilson continues to have

another spectacular year.

Russell was spectacular tonight.

I just thought that the stuff

he was able to create,

it doesn't really show up

in the stats.

Amazing night of football

and it was fun to watch.

I love it, I hope you guys did too.

Those guys make me look good,

I just try and make the players,

continue to trust in them

and what they are doing

and we always find a way.

The guys in the locker room,

we are all mature, we'll

all respond just fine.

We are all frustrated by this one

but we not too worried,

I think we'll be just fine.

As Pete Carroll said it was a very

enjoyable game to watch,

mainly because of the performance

of Russell Wilson who was just

sensational, wasn't he?

No question about it,

this is an MVP calibre quarterback

having an outstanding season

and he does this with hardly

any help out there.

Makes all the plays

for that football team.

Defensively we all know

what they are lacking.

This guy is balling.

Don't you think he's playing better

now they've got Wayne Brown, though?

Oh, yeah.

His game has changed

now that he's got that

protection on the left side.

In the fourth quarter

he makes magic happen.

Without question.

If you sure the left,

as a quarterback, when you drop

back, you know that your back

is secure, everything

else becomes so easy.

That's what we're seeing.

Now, what we're seeing, it isn't

that easy for everybody else.

So it's special, what he's doing.

It's unbelievable, what he's been

able to do to catapult this team

and put them in position,

they are within striking distance.

They are.

They still have to play the Rams

as well, who play Philadelphia this

week too which could open up the NFC

West a little bit.

But he's going to have

display at that level

for the rest of the season

because of deficiencies elsewhere.

I think he's almost 90%

of the offense, as he goes, they go.

And he has to stay on it,

he can't have a bad game or play.

In the first couple of minutes

of watching the highlights,

the Case Keenum argument

was still continuing!

You said it's a quarterback league.

Even in defeat, Carson Wentz

showed his special magic as well.

No question, he showed some

of the things that make this guy one

of the elite quarterbacks

in the NFL.

The arm strength, the accuracy,

the vision, the footwork

inside the pocket.

This guy is a good young quarterback

and he's tough also and I think

that's what makes him special.

Yeah, you know one thing

I was thinking, you know

when you are winning,

coaches don't really evaluate

the things you've done wrong,

they push it to the side

because you're winning.

Almost this loss helps them go back

and everything he hasn't been doing

correctly they can nit-pick this

week and maybe that helps them

for the rest of the run.

You may be the wrong

person to ask this to,

but given that Minnesota

and Philadelphia have identical

records at the moment,

who would you lean towards?

Honestly,...

Yeah, Greg!

We only deal in

honesty on this show!

It's hard to go against

a Mike Zimmer defense

but when I look at what Carson Wentz

and this offense is able

to do as far as posing

a threat to a defense,

as athletic a defense as Minnesota

have, one thing I saw

even with Carson Wentz,

in this loss, getting

on his players, players

who are older than him.

He's established himself as a leader

because he understands,

as I go, this team goes.

So to answer your question,

I'd go with the Eagles.

If they are in Philly.

Kansas City started

the season 5 wins from 5.

Quarterback Alex Smith

was the greatest of all time...

It's a long story, Greg!

And the Chiefs were

coasting in the AFC West.

Heading into week 13 and it's one

win from six and Alex Smith stinks,

that's how Kansas City journalists

have described him in recent weeks.

Looking to stop the rot and ward off

divisional predators,

they headed to New York

to face the Jets.

A couple of tight ends

set, Kelce and Harris.

2nd & 10.

Fake it, Smith has time.

Smith fires.

Touchdown, Travis Kelce.

Wilson does a good job of clearing

out, taking Clayborn deep and no

one there for Kelce.

Touchdown number six on the season.

Last two games, the Chiefs put up

six points the first half.

They already have a touchdown here.

Fake it.

Smith steps up.

Deep ball, got a man, it's Kelce!

Touchdown.

A rainbow delivery from Smith.

This looks like the Kansas City

offense from the first five weeks.

Handoff, Powell on the outside

and he's in, touchdown, Jets.

McCown, play fake.

McCown, downfield.

Jermaine Kearse, big

connection on the deep ball.

2nd & goal, McCown

will try it again.

The officials come together,

the Jets are indicating

touchdown and they get it.

Touchdown, Jets.

Harrison Butker's 36 yard field goal

gave the Chiefs a 3-point lead

with less than three minutes left

in the second.

3rd & goal.

McCown, guns it.

Caught.

Blasted.

Forte, touchdown, Jets.

Chandler Catanzaro's 27 yard field

goal extended the Jets' lead

to 24-17 with five other half

minutes left in the third quarter.

First-time Kansas City have had

the ball in this second half.

Coming at the 5.23

mark in the third.

Down by seven.

Time is in possession has been

dominant in favour of the Jets.

Smith, deep ball, separation.

Tyreek Hill.

Goodbye, Hill.

Touchdown, Kansas City.

He let Hill run underneath this one

as he goes blowing past Robinson.

Fastest player in the NFL.

Longest pass play of

the season to Hill.

79 yards.

The Jets responded with Catanzaro's

47 yard field goal to

take a 3-point lead.

Catanzaro then extended it to six

points with another field goal

on their first possession

of the fourth quarter.

2nd & 8 Connor Smith.

The shot.

Smith, he has Hill.

Touchdown!

There's no safety in the middle

of the field so this is a track meet

again and Number 10 is going to win.

Clayborn's eyes are on the ball.

Hauling it in.

And a short field goal

here for Catanzaro to put

the Jets back in front.

Chip shot, 21 yards.

Hennessy will snap it.

21 yards, curling it through.

And a flag thrown.

Again, was there a Chief

in the neutral zone?

I don't think they'll take these

points off the board, though.

No, it's a personal foul.

1st down.

That's different.

Personal foul, defense.

They hit the center snap.

It to a defenceless

player, the center.

Hennessy, the snapper,

right in the middle.

Logan with a personal foul.

It could be an expensive one

for Andy Reid's team.

Could be a game changer.

The 14th play of the drive.

3rd & goal.

McCown, using his body.

The officials are going

to peel off the pile.

Touchdown, Jets.

McCown gets in.

Indicating they'll go for two.

A pivotal two point

try here for New York.

McCown.

Moving pocket.

McCown, nothing on that side.

McCown, desperation throw.

Flag down.

They are going to get

Nelson for holding.

So that is three penalties

potentially on this play

against the Chiefs.

He took the flag!

A flag ended up in the stands.

Peters is being escorted off.

After the play, unsportsmanlike

conduct, defense, number 22.

That's been declined.

Prior to the pass, holding,

defense, number 20.

That is accepted, half

the distance to the goal.

The ball is starting inside the one.

The Jets are going for two.

They want Maguire's speed

and getting the angle for two.

Smith letting it fly.

Hill makes the catch

for Kansas City!

54 seconds to play.

They bunched three

receivers on one side.

Kelce set up by himself.

Smith.

Knocked down, Jamar Adams

could have had a pick and that

would have ended the game.

Now it's 4th down.

The Jets are trying to end it here.

38-31, New York.

Fourth and six for Kansas City.

Smith, firing.

Nobody home and it's over.

The Jets will hold an and hand

Kansas City a damaging loss.

We talked about riding, right,

until the wheels fall off!

You hear me?

Until the wheels fall off,

that's how you close

out a game, all right!

And the home of the Jets,

here we go, one, two, three.

ALL:

And the home of the Jets!

As great as that is for the Jets

we have to look at it...

I don't know what you lot

are talking about!

We have to look at it

from the Chiefs' perspective.

And focus on the penalties

that they gave away,

eight in total but four on that

game-winning drive from the Jets.

They are beating themselves.

Penalties are drive killers.

Coach used to say, you get

a penalty, your chances of scoring

on that drive our down to like 20%.

That is so undisciplined.

There's no way you're

going to win a game with that

amount of penalties.

One on that field goal,

giving the Jets another chance,

going for two points and then

they committed a penalty,

the flag got thrown.

Someone who is prone to petty

behaviour from time to time,

this amused me greatly!

As Marcus Peters through

the flag into the crowd.

He then I think thought he would be

ejected from the game.

So he...

Well, he removed himself from the

game with a big grin on his face.

However he hadn't been ejected

by the officials are so somebody

went back to the locker room

to get him and he came

back half dressed.

He might get fired by the NFL

for coming out without

the correct uniform.

But all that confusion

and calamity sums up the Chiefs.

Yeah, he'd tabbed out of that game.

He was frustrated because they are

having issues with the other

corner on the other side.

We were talking about them

bringing in Reeves.

Number 20, Steve Nelson

was having a horrendous game.

Two of those penalties were on him

and when you are Marcus Peters,

you are a prime-time corner,

he was frustrated.

He saw it happen, he couldn't do

anything about it and he cracked up.

He did that in college.

But you don't remove

yourself from the game.

If you were his team-mate

you'd be fuming with him.

I honestly wouldn't know

what to do after that!

I mean, I think he automatically

thought, you know,

I picked up the flag.

I don't think I've

ever seen that before.

I didn't know the penalty for that.

He probably thought

he was going to get tossed.

But this is just this has

been the demise of them,

the Chiefs, offensively,

defensively, special team play.

When you have been going

in the wrong direction,

it starts to look like this.

They have to find a way,

Alex Smith played good.

Thank you for that.

He did, he did.

But when you have been

going in the wrong direction,

everything has to go right

to write that ship.

We'll look at the bigger picture

in the AFC West shortly after we've

looked at some of the other

week 13 games.

Right let's take a look at some

of the other week 13 games.

And let's start with the Giants

against the Raiders.

Under fire Ben McAdoo

starting Geno Smith.

New York football!

At the expense of Eli Manning.

Marshawn Lynch opened the scoring

for Oakland with this 51 yard run.

There was a ten yard touchdown pass

from Smith to Engram in the fourth

quarter which kept the Giants

in the game.

Derek Carr put Johnny Holton

in to ensure that Oakland stay

in the AFC West hunt.

And on Monday, Ben McAdoo

had to clear his hair

gel out of his locker

because he had been sacked.

Winless Cleveland shocked

the Chargers in this game

with the opening score.

LA struck back, Keenan Allen,

ten catches for 105 yards.

He is balling this year.

And then Joey Bosa sealed it

with that strip sack

and the Chargers are very much

closing in on the Chiefs.

Jimmy Garappolo got his first start

for the 49ers at Soldier Field

in this drab affair.

The best moment was this punt

return from Tarik Cohen.

It was given as 61 yards

but actually you measure

the distance he covered,

you're probably up to around 80

by the time he'd gone backwards

and across the pitch.

What do we say, special

teams, special players?

Special teams, special players.

Jeff couldn't do that

in a video game!

LAUGHTER

You're probably right!

Robbie Gould kicked the 49

is to a 1-point victory

with a perfect five

from five display.

Blake Bortles' Jaguars were always

on top against the Colts.

He's thrown for over 300 yards

and a couple of touchdowns.

That one to Keelan Cole.

The Jaguars defense,

absolutely fearsome again.

That pick in the fourth quarter.

The seventh time in 12 games they've

conceded ten points or fewer.

Jacksonville's AFC South rivals

Tennessee hosted Houston.

Savage.

And the Texans started

well through...

Say it again?

Savage.

He didn't play bad.

Yeah.

That touchdown pass

to Steven Anderson.

They were 10-0 up.

It didn't last, though.

Marcus Mariota landed Walker

in the third quarter and Henry had

over 100 rushing yards including

that 75 yard touchdown to seal it.

Just give him the ball

and it will go well.

Eight and four, the Titans

in that division.

The Silverdome failed

to blow up on Sunday.

They are trying to get rid

of Detroit's old home.

And Detroit were about

as successful as the company

who installed that dynamite.

Baltimore thrashing

them in the end 44-20.

Eric Weddle sealed it with that

fourth-quarter pick six.

That's the 20th interception

for the Ravens this year

and they are the league leaders.

We have to start with the Giants,

with two former Giants here.

The right decision,

to get rid of Ben McAdoo?

I find it interesting, Jason,

how you bench your two time

Super Bowl winning player

and all of a sudden,

everybody gets fired.

You would think that

people would learn not

to bench their two time Super

Bowl...

Oh!

Some people like to keep

doing that, but anyway.

Been great working

with you on the show!

We've had lots of fun.

I liked where that was going.

Obviously it was the right decision.

Eli Manning, outstanding

professional.

Might not have been having

the best season this year.

No, he has not.

He hasn't, but he's carried

himself the right way

and there are different ways

of handling this.

They should have waited

until after the season to say

they are going to move on from Eli,

he's given them 14 seasons.

But to bench this man

in the middle of the season,

they are going nowhere,

they had nothing to lose,

so bringing in other people,

I thought it was the wrong decision.

It felt from the outside watching

in as if Ben McAdoo had problems

with players throughout a lock

of his reign, all sorts

of stories about fallings out

and having to discipline them,

so having to show his authority.

It felt like the end had been coming

for him for a little while.

Do you have some sympathy

for Jerry Reese, the general

manager, who's been there since 1994

and worked his way up from part-time

scout to general manager?

A general manager behind

two Super Bowl wins.

Yeah and I like Jerry but in this

case I don't because he should have

been the one that goes,

let's think about this,

you know, let's slow down.

The Eli bench?

Let's think about this because Eli

threw him for a curve,

he said I'm not going for this,

figure it out.

That's when Jerry Reese should have

said, let's slow down,

let's reconsider how we're

going to approach this,

because we see what happened with

the result, with what they thought

was the right thing to do.

As a neutral, what do

you make of it?

You see, I'm not in that locker

room, I haven't won two

Super Bowls with Eli.

And the way they went

about it was wrong, absolutely

because when you look at it,

it's almost as if they were saying,

Eli is why we've been losing,

this is why we've been performing

this badly and that was

clearly not the case.

In their defense, Eli had

been playing very poorly

and when you look at an elite

quarterback, I don't care

how bad your team is,

you depend on that quarterback

to raise the level of play

of everyone around you and he hadn't

been able to do that.

Again, that's a tall order.

With all of the weapons he lost.

But you've got to find

a way to get some wins.

I saw this coming with Ben McAdoo,

he is more of a position coach

guy than a head coach.

Quickly because I want

to do the AFC West.

He's not a neutral, he knows

Ben McAdoo very well!

Just throwing that out there!

As regards shirts worn,

he is a neutral.

AFC West, if you were

going to put a pound on,

who would you put your money

on to win it?

Has to be the Chargers,

you always go with the hot team

and they are streaking right now.

Chargers.

I agree with my friend over here.

We're back!

Chargers, yeah, they're hot.

Yeah, I mean, they said it,

the Chargers, when you look

at the team who is hot,

but not only hot, you look at them

on the defensive side of the ball,

they play great defense,

they have an excellent quarterback

who can get it done,

a young running back

and Keenan Allen, we talked

about him, if he stays healthy he's

a special player in this league.

They are getting it

done at the right time.

I just wonder whether both the AFC

West and the AFC South,

between the Jaguars and the Titans,

are slightly looking

over their shoulders at the wild

Cards and will be concerned

about the Ravens making the playoffs

with the defense that they have.

You don't want to play a team

like the Baltimore Ravens

in January when the defenses

are really what counts.

Defensively they are outstanding.

Like you said, 20 interceptions,

leading the league.

They can apply pressure

on the quarterback.

This is a good football team,

playing well on defense right now.

But remember, they lost their best

corner, Jimmy Smith.

When you are a defensive team

you need that number one guy who can

play the number one receiver

or at least take somebody

out of the game.

And Jaguars fans are probably

screaming at the telly, hang on,

we thrashed them when we had

the London game but it's different,

earlier in the season to now.

It is different but the Jaguars team

is a different team as well

and defensively they've

gotten much better.

Their defense is one to be reckoned

with as well, very athletic,

can get pressure on the quarterback

but when you look at both of these

teams, their offense,

the quarterback is where

they struggle, defense

is where their strength is.

And if I had to pick one

of these teams, Baltimore

have been there before.

We've just got time to show

you the standings as far

as the AFC East is concerned.

Eight wins on the bounce

for New England.

Pittsburgh match New England

at 10-2 after that close

win over Cincinnati.

outh, this one really is gong

down to the week 17 game

between Tennessee and Jacksonville.

AFC West, look away, Chiefs fans,

it's a three-way tie in the West.

NFC, the Eagles' loss

to Seattle means they don't

clinch the division,

but only a matter of time now.

Minnesota need to win one

of their remaining four games

to clinch this division.

NFC South.

Too close to call this one.

New Orleans at Atlanta on Thursday.

NFC West.

Despite Seattle's big win over

Philadelphia the Rams remain

top of the division.

In the play-offs, no change

in the AFC but the week 15 game

between Pittsburgh and New England

could decide who is number one seed.

Kansas City holding

on for their life as a divisional

leader and their 6-6 record

currently won't be good enough

for a wildcard spot should they slip

from the top of the AFC West.

Philadelphia's loss sees Minnesota

move ahead as the number one seed.

The big change here is Seattle.

They didn't make the graphic

at the start of the show

but leap into the wildcards

at the expense of Atlanta.

We're going to do Saturday's

show from Atlanta.

New Orleans will be their visitors.

Greg, thank you very

much for coming in.

We always appreciate having you.

That's genuine!

It isn't a dig at you!

Come and see us any time, seriously.

We'll see you on Saturday

night from Atlanta.

Goodbye.
