He's going to fire toward the end

zone!

Touchdown!

He's looking

0:00:120:00:21

downfield...

Unbelievable!

How did

he do that?

For the win,

0:00:210:00:34

unstoppable.

0:00:340:00:35

Hello, and welcome to NFL This Week.

0:00:350:00:38

As the regular season moves

into the depths of winter,

0:00:380:00:41

more than ever players

thank their lucky stars they ended

0:00:410:00:43

up playing in Los Angeles

rather than Buffalo.

0:00:430:00:45

Whilst the lucky few with contracts

to play in California basked

0:00:450:00:48

in the winter sun this Sunday,

those unlucky few in Buffalo woke

0:00:480:00:52

up ahead of their game

against Indianapolis to 16 inches

0:00:520:00:55

of snow wondering where

it all went wrong.

0:00:550:01:00

Joining me once again, 2-time

Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora

0:01:000:01:02

and former NFL

Cornerback, Jason Bell.

0:01:020:01:05

Right, with four rounds to go,

this is how the playoff picture

0:01:050:01:08

looked coming into play.

0:01:080:01:09

In the AFC unsurprisingly

Pittsburgh and New England

0:01:150:01:17

are currently 1 and 2 seeds.

0:01:170:01:18

Kansas City have been pulled back

into an AFC West fight and any slip

0:01:180:01:22

up against divisional rivals Oakland

could see them fall back

0:01:220:01:24

into the hunting pack behind

the Raiders and the LA Chargers

0:01:240:01:27

should they win.

0:01:270:01:28

As per the AFC, we have two 10-2

teams sitting as the 1 and 2 seeds.

0:01:280:01:32

Despite defeat to Atlanta

on Thursday, New Orleans remained

0:01:320:01:34

leaders of the NFC South

and as the 4th seed.

0:01:340:01:36

Atlanta incidentally could slip back

into playoff contention if Seattle

0:01:360:01:38

were to lose this week.

0:01:380:01:40

Detroit, Green Bay and Dallas

all still have playoff hopes too.

0:01:400:01:46

Our first game comes from the NFC.

0:01:500:01:52

Philadelphia head to Los Angeles

looking to clinch

0:01:520:01:53

the NFC East and a playoff spot.

0:01:530:01:55

The LA Rams come into this one

with a slender lead over

0:01:550:01:58

Seattle in the NFC West.

0:01:580:01:59

Interestingly, 42 of their 53

man roster have never

0:01:590:02:01

experience a winning season,

something the Rams have

0:02:010:02:03

achieved this year for

the first time since 2003.

0:02:030:02:05

At the heart of both teams are two

second year quarterbacks who both

0:02:050:02:08

shared a special night

in April 2016.

0:02:080:02:13

The draft, part red carpet showbiz,

part cattle market, or pro football

0:02:240:02:29

market. Up for grabs, the college

talent of America, and the number

0:02:290:02:33

one pick in 2016? The rounds, now

back in Los Angeles with the first

0:02:330:02:39

Choice.

The Los Angeles Rams select

Jared Goff.

The Philadelphia Eagles,

0:02:390:02:47

second choice.

Carson Wentz.

Through

meteoric rise up to heady heights,

0:02:470:02:56

second-year pro is on top of their

divisions, a long way for the --

0:02:560:03:03

from the cattle walk now.

0:03:030:03:05

On 1st down. Touchdown, Los Angeles!

He blocks down and helped spring

0:03:080:03:20

early Janzen two defenders meeting

him at the line, but you're not

0:03:200:03:23

going to stop Hurley from scoring.

Wentz, touchdown Cilic. What an

0:03:230:03:34

answer from Philadelphia.

A

breakdown in communication. The

0:03:340:03:40

touchdown is there.

Listen to this

noise from the Eagles sounds. Pass

0:03:400:03:49

over the middle, it is caught for

the touchdown. That is Trey Burton!

0:03:490:03:55

The perfect Root called as the

defender jumps to the outside. Alec

0:03:550:04:03

Ogletree tried to get underneath it,

and Carson Wentz makes another

0:04:030:04:06

perfect throw. 3rd down, Wentz,

throws, pass court, end zone,

0:04:060:04:18

Burton, touchdown.

A perfectly

thrown ball by Wentz and knowing the

0:04:180:04:22

window he had and where he had to

put it to give Burton an opportunity

0:04:220:04:26

to make this play because Mark Byron

can make a play on it as well.

3rd &

0:04:260:04:32

10. A blitz here possibly. Cooper

caught it. Inside Eagles territory.

0:04:320:04:43

Good move. Looking for a block from

Watkins. Gets it down inside the 15.

0:04:430:04:48

What a play on 3rd & 10 for 64

yards. On 3rd down, Jared Goff, pass

0:04:480:04:57

court... Touchdown!

This won't show

up on the stat sheet that Jared Goff

0:04:570:05:06

has pressure at his feet and is

having to make the throw and if that

0:05:060:05:09

ball is not where it is, it's not

going to be a touchdown.

J Keleher's

0:05:090:05:14

field goal extended the lead to ten

points before half-time.

0:05:140:05:18

COMMENTATOR: Throw by Jared Goff and

court for the touchdown, Watkins.

It

0:05:230:05:30

is one-on-one out here and yet the

Eagles play this pretty well. They

0:05:300:05:33

are trying to drive the inside

receiver up the field that creates a

0:05:330:05:40

natural picking action and for the

throw to Watkins. That some of the

0:05:400:05:44

stuff The Eagles got hurt on last

week against Seattle.

Blitz, Alec

0:05:440:05:49

Ogletree comes on the blitz. Wentz

hangs to the sideline, broken up.

0:05:490:05:56

This one is blocked. And for the

touchdown... The rounds take the

0:05:560:06:01

lead! They overload the left side

and as the protector, you've got to

0:06:010:06:08

make a decision who you are going to

take and he does not take the inside

0:06:080:06:12

diet, the one with the shortest path

to the punter. Instead he goes to

0:06:120:06:17

the outside and it leaves Thomas

with an opportunity to go and make

0:06:170:06:20

the play. Wentz to his right, the

flag is down. Wentz in for the

0:06:200:06:29

touchdown, but a flag throne.

REFEREE:

Holding, fence, number 65.

0:06:290:06:37

10-yard penalty. Still 1st down.

Carson Wentz got hit hard.

Johnson

0:06:370:06:47

at right tackle. Trying to get the

ball to Nelson. There is the hit. I

0:06:470:06:52

think the most party does a pretty

good job of protecting himself, but

0:06:520:06:56

when you start getting hit low like

that, there is always concerned.

0:06:560:07:04

Wentz... Time runs out, passes to

Jeffrey for the touchdown. A new

0:07:040:07:13

franchise record for Carson Wentz,

his 33rd touchdown of the season.

0:07:130:07:17

Nobody wants to see this. Carson

Wentz going off to get looked at in

0:07:170:07:21

the locker room. Watch 's legs and

body just fold on that hit.

0:07:210:07:28

Cutting back, touchdown! Good job by

this offensive front. Showing some

0:07:320:07:42

patients. Could have got down with

any contact but great job finishing

0:07:420:07:47

that drive.

Eagles are reporting is

a left knee injury. He's done for

0:07:470:07:51

today. All the support staff with

Carson Wentz walked out shaking mad.

0:07:510:07:56

One of the bright stars of the

league. Hopefully he will be able to

0:07:560:08:00

bounce back. Right now this game

belongs to Nick Foles. STUDIO: Nick

0:08:000:08:08

Foles's drive led to another field

goal. Ahead by one point.

0:08:080:08:14

COMMENTATOR: Jared Goff. The ball is

out. Picked up by The Eagles.

0:08:140:08:23

MacLeod takes it to the 25. STUDIO:

The Eagles added another Elliott

0:08:230:08:28

field goal of the turnover to lead

by two points with less than five

0:08:280:08:32

minutes left. COMMENTATOR: 3rd & 8.

Nick Foles protected, pass caught by

0:08:320:08:42

Aguillon. No bigger catch than that

for a 1st down. Looks like they

0:08:420:08:51

almost lost the handle... Cannot get

the 1st down. The clock will

0:08:510:08:55

continue, there will be one more

play the Jared Goff, barring a

0:08:550:09:00

defensive foul.

It is lateral time. Austin. Taken by

0:09:000:09:12

Philly. They go to 11-2.

Everyone is

really excited about the win, big

0:09:120:09:19

yeah, you have your starting

quarterback go down, it's emotional.

0:09:190:09:25

It's emotional for me, I work with

him every day, we do everything

0:09:250:09:29

together.

0:09:290:09:30

him every day, we do everything

together.

It's a great learning

0:09:300:09:31

opportunity for us. A handful of

things took place in that game that

0:09:310:09:33

we will learn from. We will learn

from our mistakes, including me,

0:09:330:09:36

starting with me.

0:09:360:09:39

So the Eagles clinch

the NFC East division,

0:09:390:09:45

They are in the playoffs, and yet

there is a sense of gloom and doom,

0:09:450:09:50

isn't there, because of what

happened to Carson Wentz?

There is a

0:09:500:09:54

cloud hanging over this franchise

right now. Carson Wentz, the

0:09:540:09:59

enigmatic, outstanding young

quarterback this but putting has got

0:09:590:10:01

injured. This is a guy who brought

so much life and vitality to that

0:10:010:10:06

franchise, unfortunate to see.

You

hate to see this, especially for a

0:10:060:10:11

guy who is making every throw. You

see him going for the go-ahead score

0:10:110:10:15

here.

Just unlucky, isn't it? He

just Islam wedged between two

0:10:150:10:20

members of the Rams defense and one

of them just get the side of his

0:10:200:10:26

knee?

It is football, crazy things

happen. He was up in the air and

0:10:260:10:31

exposed. What was impressive with

this throw when he was hurt. I

0:10:310:10:34

watched and I said, the guy looks

hurt. He whipped it in there. You

0:10:340:10:38

know they are going to miss that. At

the goal-line is where you have to

0:10:380:10:42

have a special quarterback, because

the field is condensed. They will

0:10:420:10:45

miss him there.

I think it's

remarkable he tried to keep going,

0:10:450:10:50

an indication of how tough he is.

I

think he has displayed that through

0:10:500:10:54

the season. When he was in the

pocket took some shots, popped right

0:10:540:10:58

up and went back to you work. A

tough young football player.

His ACL

0:10:580:11:02

is injured, it is him for the rest

of the season may be the start of

0:11:020:11:07

next season. This is what he said

Monday social media.

0:11:070:11:10

I will be with the team along the

way, supporting them, I have the

0:11:100:11:14

utmost confidence in Nick and the

coaching staff that they will step

0:11:140:11:17

up. We've played with injuries all

year long. It's just been the next

0:11:170:11:22

man up mentality and that will

continue. Nick will do an amazing

0:11:220:11:25

job and lead this team out. I will

be there to support and help in

0:11:250:11:29

whatever way I can.

Is this in any

way reminiscent of what happened to

0:11:290:11:34

the Raiders last season with Derek

Carr? For example, they then fell

0:11:340:11:39

off a cliff and it was all gone for

them? Do you see it being similar or

0:11:390:11:45

are there differences?

I think there

are differences. This team is

0:11:450:11:49

different, defensively they are

outstanding, they have a strong

0:11:490:11:51

running game. Nick Foles is a good

quarterback, he has the ability to

0:11:510:11:55

get in and get the job done. I don't

think they will fall off the cliff

0:11:550:11:59

here.

Nick Foles won't be able to do

some of the things Carson Wentz is

0:11:590:12:03

done that we can see here. I suppose

it is how The Eagles protect Nick

0:12:030:12:07

Foles, to allow him to do some of

this kind of thing?

Yes, this team

0:12:070:12:12

is built differently, built for

success. With the... Two Ronnie

0:12:120:12:19

Baxter with the same, able to run

the ball and be effective and

0:12:190:12:22

defensively, they are playing much

better at the back than we thought

0:12:220:12:26

they would and they've got that

great defensive set.

I think Carson

0:12:260:12:31

Wentz needed this time off. He has a

royal wedding...

LAUGHTER

0:12:310:12:35

That he is planning for.

Exactly!

You think Nick Foles will get more

0:12:350:12:43

protection?

I think so. They won't

take some of the deep shots they

0:12:430:12:47

were accustomed to take with Carson

Wentz. They will do things based off

0:12:470:12:52

the running game, play action pass,

but they will be able to get by with

0:12:520:12:56

Nick Foles.

And remember, in

history, their raw back-up

0:12:560:13:00

quarterbacks who have taken their

team to Super Bowl glory. I think

0:13:000:13:04

seven or maybe eight, depending on

what you class as a back-up

0:13:040:13:08

quarterback, but basically ones who

didn't start the season, there are

0:13:080:13:12

seven that have taken their teams to

Super Bowl glory.

I bet you know who

0:13:120:13:16

they are.

I know of you, do you know

any?

Kurt Warner. Statler for the

0:13:160:13:23

Giants.

Yeah...

Came after...

Baltimore.

Washington Redskins?

0:13:230:13:35

Williams.

This could go on for a

very long time that your favourite

0:13:350:13:40

quarterback ever? Tom Brady's first

Super Bowl with the Patriots, he was

0:13:400:13:46

a back-up at the start of the

season.

Yes!

He got hit on the

0:13:460:13:52

sideline, too.

Thank you. My

pleasure, I'm here to educate,

0:13:520:13:57

surprisingly.

0:13:570:13:59

And don't forget the NFL Show

on Saturday after Match of the Day.

0:13:590:14:02

We'll take another look back at week

14 and preview week 15 too.

0:14:020:14:05

That's all from 11.45pm on BBC One.

0:14:050:14:07

How did I not know Tom Brady?!

0:14:070:14:08

A reminder too that our shows

are available iPlayer,

0:14:080:14:11

including last weeks Atlanta special

where we went behind the scenes

0:14:110:14:13

at their incredible facility.

0:14:130:14:18

The producer has written me this

line, if you haven't seen it, put

0:14:180:14:21

aside some time, it's well worth it.

That is him blowing his own trumpet.

0:14:210:14:25

Right, let's take a look at some

of the other week 14 games.

0:14:250:14:28

Right, let's take a look at some

of the other week 14 games.

0:14:280:14:29

Starting with this AFC West matchup

between Oakland and Kansas City.

0:14:290:14:35

Hunt got his first touchdown in nine

games.

We were talking about him for

0:14:350:14:40

the Rookie of the year.

The Chiefs

dominated. Marshawn Lynch scored one

0:14:400:14:46

of two touchdowns. The Chiefs picked

Mac and are still top of the AFC

0:14:460:14:51

West. The Chargers were looking for

their fourth win on the bounce at

0:14:510:14:55

home to Washington. Hunter Henry set

them on their way with that opening

0:14:550:14:59

touchdown. Philip Rivers put them

20-6 up. That is 75 yards to Tyrone

0:14:590:15:09

Williams in the second quarter. The

Chargers played the Chiefs next

0:15:090:15:14

week. -- play the Chiefs next week.

A tightly contested divisional game

0:15:140:15:17

between the Patriots and Dolphins. A

bad day for Tom Brady. Miami...

He

0:15:170:15:28

said not me today!

Patriots didn't

convert a single 3rd down, the first

0:15:280:15:34

time that has happened to them since

1991.

Get them, Cutler!

Miami still

0:15:340:15:44

clinging on to a playoff hope. There

is a game of football going on

0:15:440:15:49

somewhere in this blizzard. Very

cold, as we have been saying in

0:15:490:15:52

Buffalo. Full of snow. The teams ran

the ball 97 times, the most in a

0:15:520:15:57

game since 1981. Nathan Peterman

found Benjamin for that touchdown.

0:15:570:16:03

The Colts responded two quarters

later, Jack Doyle. And then this 21

0:16:030:16:11

yard touchdown in overtime.

Why is

he running like that?

0:16:110:16:19

Onto the Titans and the Cardinals.

The Titans came into this game on

0:16:190:16:22

top of the AFC South. Henry's six

yard touchdown was all they could

0:16:220:16:28

muster in this game. Four field

goals for the Cardinals and it drops

0:16:280:16:35

tenancy to eight and five. It gave

the Jaguars that chance to lead the

0:16:350:16:40

division, and they took that chance

against Seattle. Russell Wilson was

0:16:400:16:45

picked three times in this one.

Come

on, go get it, go get it!

0:16:450:16:55

Jacksonville defense we've paid

tribute to a lot this season. A 75

0:16:550:17:00

yard touchdown.

He didn't break

stride!

That gave the Jaguars the

0:17:000:17:04

lead in the third quarter. Wilson

then weaved his magic, 61 yard throw

0:17:040:17:09

to Richardson, and the Jaguars held

on to take the lead in the AFC

0:17:090:17:13

South. Extended highlights of this

game to be shown on Saturday's show

0:17:130:17:17

and we will talk more about

Jacksonville during that game as

0:17:170:17:20

well.

0:17:200:17:21

Jacksonville during that game as

well.

0:17:210:17:24

I mentioned Oakland on what happened

to Derek Carr. Do you think there

0:17:240:17:27

are still

0:17:270:17:29

to Derek Carr. Do you think there

are still coming to terms with that

0:17:290:17:30

question and they haven't been very

good this season. Derek Carr

0:17:300:17:33

admitted after this defeat that he

is to blame.

He definitely hasn't

0:17:330:17:36

been very good. Like a scene out of

one of my favourite movies

0:17:360:17:42

been very good. Like a scene out of

one of my favourite movies, Jerry

0:17:420:17:43

Maguire, you don't understand the

pressure $50 million comes with!

0:17:430:17:46

LAUGHTER

He hasn't been able to live up to

0:17:460:17:52

that contract. Not having a good

season this year.

If there is anyone

0:17:520:17:55

on this over who might know that...

You know what, it's like these guys

0:17:550:18:01

we were talking about, Derek Carr,

Mario. Winston, they were supposed

0:18:010:18:05

to be like a next generation of

quarterbacks. They all seem to not

0:18:050:18:08

be playing well. It's like they all

took a step back this year. I don't

0:18:080:18:11

know why the Raiders on running the

ball more, they have Marshawn Lynch

0:18:110:18:15

and he still playing well. They just

want to showcase this guy.

Is jack

0:18:150:18:21

under pressure?

Yeah.

Now it's there

the Chargers to win. Chargers side

0:18:210:18:28

that started 0- four.

They did, but

it was a close run of games. They

0:18:280:18:37

just needed a boost to put them over

the edge may have found that boost.

0:18:370:18:41

LAUGHTER

Just so we know!

It's like you're

0:18:410:18:45

telling me off or something. Not

only did they have Philip Rivers as

0:18:450:18:48

a quarterback but they have him as a

blogger as well, don't they?

We all

0:18:480:18:54

is talk about that, Mark. When you

have your quarterback like this and

0:18:540:18:58

he's trying to do too much, get out

of the way, man, get out of the way.

0:18:580:19:04

Look at him, look at him. What do I

do, what do I do?

He said, my plan

0:19:040:19:10

was to turn back and hope the

defensive end was there so we could

0:19:100:19:13

brother-in-law a little bit.

Do you

know what that is question that when

0:19:130:19:18

two players make an effort that

don't hurt each other? That's what

0:19:180:19:23

we do in practice!

He said there

wasn't anybody and then I thought to

0:19:230:19:27

myself, gracious, I've never been

this far down the field in my life

0:19:270:19:30

since high school. He is, to use

your word, bawling.

He is. He was

0:19:300:19:36

always the guy that gave him a

chance. Now he's got some people

0:19:360:19:40

around him, their feelings

themselves and he's balling.

I can't

0:19:400:19:47

believe that, brother-in-law! We use

to do that!

LAUGHTER

0:19:470:19:53

No show is complete without a Bill

Belichick interview.

0:19:530:20:05

Lose a game, Bill Bellichick whips

them into shape and they go

0:20:060:20:09

onto win a Super Bowl right!

0:20:090:20:10

With all the talk of snow this week

in the UK shutting down

0:20:100:20:12

No... Any questions about the game

or not?

I am not a Patriots fan, but

0:20:200:20:35

every one of his press conferences,

cheers me up. He cheers me up. Is it

0:20:350:20:40

a valid question?

Could he have been

that disgusted by a question? Come

0:20:400:20:46

on, Bill, that's crazy!

He looks

like he had so many more things to

0:20:460:20:51

say and all his veteran experience

told him, just be quiet.

We will

0:20:510:20:56

talk more about playing in the snow

on Saturday's show but when you

0:20:560:21:00

watch Buffalo in Indianapolis, do

you have sympathy for the officials?

0:21:000:21:02

They must have two guests the

majority. Very few flags were thrown

0:21:020:21:07

in this game. LAUGHTER

There must have been a lot of calls

0:21:070:21:13

that didn't get seen.

Could you see

anything to strap it was a straight

0:21:130:21:18

blizzard, not even the lines on the

field. They probably didn't even

0:21:180:21:21

call the game.

Are you surprised it

continued and that one of the team

0:21:210:21:25

wore white, which seemed slightly

ridiculous in the snow?

Trying to

0:21:250:21:31

get a win anyhow!

You've got to keep

playing, you've got keep playing

0:21:310:21:36

unless it's an imminent risk of real

harm, have to keep playing.

The

0:21:360:21:41

biggest respect for was that the

supporters who braved out for the

0:21:410:21:44

whole four quarters.

0:21:440:21:48

Baltimore's rivalry with Pittsburgh

was once described by former

0:21:480:21:50

Steelers receiver Hines

Ward as:

0:21:500:21:52

"Pure hatred".

0:21:520:21:53

We hated everything,

from the color purple.

0:21:530:21:56

During Ravens week, no one

could wear purple in the building.

0:21:560:21:58

I remember they made

the office lady go home

0:21:580:22:01

because she had a purple blouse on.

0:22:010:22:02

She had to go change that".

0:22:020:22:07

We've got it, the Ravens on Steelers

don't like each other.

0:22:070:22:10

Anyway, a win for Pittsburgh

and they retain the AFC North,

0:22:100:22:12

just as they did this

time last year...

0:22:120:22:14

Also against the Ravens.

0:22:140:22:17

And that's caught by Bell! Into the

end zone for a touchdown!

Here's

0:22:290:22:34

what's so deadly, you get a safety

outside on a running back. Happens

0:22:340:22:38

all the time, but when that running

back is Le'Veon Bell, it is not

0:22:380:22:43

fair. Safeties can't cover,

linebackers can't cover.

Bell in the

0:22:430:22:55

backfield bonds, though, -- in the

backfield... Slipped to the outside

0:22:550:23:03

and in he goes for his second

touchdown of the night.

After all

0:23:030:23:09

the quickness and elusiveness and

all that stuff, the thing is, he

0:23:090:23:14

finishes hard, he knocks people to

the ground in front of him.

Flacco

0:23:140:23:21

going to the end zone! 78 yards to

get that in it. Going to go straight

0:23:210:23:39

up the middle on this for man route

on that side. Are a lot of wide

0:23:390:23:42

receivers that way, and Sean Davis

lets him go right past him.

0:23:420:23:52

Boswell's 52 yard effort on the next

one gave them a ten point lead.

0:23:520:24:00

Sticks it in for a touchdown. Going

to fake this motion and then come in

0:24:000:24:07

and you will see the Steelers going

wide with all that action.

0:24:070:24:19

On their first possession of the

second half, Baltimore cancelled

0:24:270:24:31

that out. Justin Tucker a obliging

from 47 yards to keep it a three

0:24:310:24:35

point game. Give the ball to Allen

and let him take it into give the

0:24:350:24:47

Ravens the lead.

0:24:470:24:57

He gets in for a touchdown for the

second straight week. Boswell was on

0:25:030:25:08

hand again early in the fourth

quarter, his 24 yard field goal

0:25:080:25:12

closed the deficit to eight points.

That was mostly creeping up to the

0:25:120:25:22

line. Here it comes... Brown! Inside

the 40... And not caught from

0:25:220:25:32

behind, and finally caught on the

ten yard line! That is great

0:25:320:25:38

quarterback play right there. And I

mean great! He gets them to show the

0:25:380:25:44

blitz, there it is, he sees it,

quick check, slide it to the

0:25:440:25:48

right-hand side. Go help over there,

bingo! There's your play! Behind the

0:25:480:25:57

full-back Nix. And it's Nix, the

full-back! Touchdown!

Come on! As he

0:25:570:26:11

always does, buying time, finds his

full-back Edu look at that catch

0:26:110:26:15

against Tony Jefferson!

Allen

following Ricard... To the goal

0:26:150:26:24

line... These two inside linebacker

is, one gets cut and the other one

0:26:240:26:32

can't get there, it is as simple as

that. This had spoke Steelers

0:26:320:26:35

defence, when you put on the tape

with Ryan Shazier, the speed and

0:26:350:26:42

quickness jumps off the chart, and

it's not there tonight. Bell, he'll

0:26:420:26:50

find it - and more... Touchdown! I'm

going to use great twice, 1ft Chris

0:26:500:26:58

Hubbard, the right tackle and one

for the patience of Le'Veon Bell.

0:26:580:27:07

Le'Veon Bell taking full advantage.

3rd and three. Pass incomplete.

0:27:070:27:16

Maclin and it will be 4th down.

Right what they do in third in 13.

0:27:160:27:26

And that is caught for a first down

by Jesse James! Up at the 31 yard

0:27:260:27:30

line - huge play. Clutch, 17 yards.

3rd and five... Roethlisberger deep

0:27:300:27:39

down the right side... Antonio

Brown! He's amazing! Beats Carr on

0:27:390:27:52

the play.

Watch the physical play by

Brown. He releases from it and what

0:27:520:27:59

do you do? There has never been a

wide receiver named MVP in the

0:27:590:28:06

league, but he has to be in that

conversation, he HAS to be!

This is

0:28:060:28:12

a 46 yard attempt. To give

Pittsburgh the lead. 39-38, crazy

0:28:120:28:24

stuff in Pittsburgh. The Steelers

clinch the AFC North.

We did what we

0:28:240:28:30

had to do to win tonight. Obviously,

we've got some things that we need

0:28:300:28:34

to work on but we will work on those

things in our AFC North hats and

0:28:340:28:39

T-shirts.

I don't think we were

consistent tonight. We had some bad

0:28:390:28:43

spells in the middle. We started

strong, settled for some field

0:28:430:28:46

goals, which don't want to do,

obviously. And then we came on

0:28:460:28:51

strong late. We did some good things

but we would like to be more

0:28:510:28:55

consistent. A lot of guys made plays

tonight.

We just fight to the

0:28:550:29:01

finish, no quit in, no panic. No

doubt. We've got a group of guys

0:29:010:29:07

committed to being the difference,

committed to getting things done.

0:29:070:29:11

And today we didn't panic. We were

able to get things done in that

0:29:110:29:15

situation.

I don't think the kids

were listening to him! The Ravens

0:29:150:29:24

were 31-20 up and they were 38-29 up

as well in that game and then the

0:29:240:29:32

Steelers in the fourth quarter just

rallied?

And when you've got a

0:29:320:29:35

receiver like Antonio Brown like

that, it's effective. What I can't

0:29:350:29:40

believe is that they did not

double-team this guy. They didn't

0:29:400:29:45

just say, we're not going to let you

beat us. He took over the game are

0:29:450:29:48

noble but as we will see, as part of

the whole of this thing, they have

0:29:480:29:53

so many weapons. We have mentioned

it several times not only this

0:29:530:29:59

season but last season as well?

They

have entirely too many weapons. The

0:29:590:30:05

offensive coordinator does a great

job of moving it Antonio Brown

0:30:050:30:09

around so you can't pin down where

he is. Having an outstanding season.

0:30:090:30:16

And Le'Veon Bell, I mean, he is

running like a madman. When he runs

0:30:160:30:20

the ball he's so physical at the end

of the run, putting pressure on

0:30:200:30:23

guys.

No Smith shoestring in this

game, he was banned and there is a

0:30:230:30:29

kicker there who is clutch?

Yeah,

that's what you need. They have

0:30:290:30:34

added him to the killer bees now, he

is now part of that, he is the

0:30:340:30:41

fourth one.

Let's talk a little bit

more about Antonio Brown. This was a

0:30:410:30:45

tweet which came out from Golden

Tate after the game, same... As Al

0:30:450:30:59

Michaels said in that commentary, he

is amazing.

Oh, he is, and he's

0:30:590:31:03

making every catch. Away here knows

where he is on the sideline, he

0:31:030:31:09

gives his quarterback space to get

the ball in there. You knows where

0:31:090:31:13

to sit down and catch the ball at.

Most guys aren't really aware of

0:31:130:31:17

where exactly to sit down - he's got

it all.

That's one of those tweets

0:31:170:31:22

where you're joking but you're

serious! But you can't double-team

0:31:220:31:27

him, can you, because of all the

other options that they have?

If you

0:31:270:31:31

could pin down his exact location on

every single plate, then you would

0:31:310:31:35

be able to do that, but like I said

they move him around, in the slot,

0:31:350:31:40

on the outside... Sometimes they

even line him up in the backfield.

0:31:400:31:43

And what that does for him is, when

you move him around, it gives them

0:31:430:31:49

an advantage.

MVP?

He's up there,

he's got to the, definitely. No

0:31:490:31:54

question. I'm talking about big

plays, when they need him most.

But

0:31:540:32:02

Chris Collins was saying in

commentary that that isn't a

0:32:020:32:08

position that gets MVP votes?

It is

time to change things up! Because

0:32:080:32:12

look what he's doing publicly is the

most valuable player for that team.

0:32:120:32:16

I understand why that hasn't been,

because it usually takes somebody to

0:32:160:32:20

get the football, like the

quarterback who is in control of

0:32:200:32:24

everything all the time.

And also

this is all played out against the

0:32:240:32:27

back of

0:32:270:32:28

this is all played out against the

back of what happened to Ryan

0:32:280:32:31

Shazier and he has had his spinal

surgery and they face time Tim

0:32:310:32:36

afterwards in the locker room. So,

putting in performance like this

0:32:360:32:40

whilst this is in their minds, which

must be emotional for them?

That's

0:32:400:32:44

tough, that was arguably their new

leader on defence. He's just a good

0:32:440:32:49

guy. Guys like him, it is hard to

bounce back from that.

0:32:490:32:55

On an 8 game win streak

and coasting in the NFC,

0:32:550:32:58

Minnesota are edging ever closer

to the post season.

0:32:580:33:00

A win over Carolina and the Vikings

could claim the NFC North.

0:33:000:33:03

Carolina come in off the back

of a divisional loss to New Orleans,

0:33:030:33:06

but with the Saints losing

to Atlanta on Thursday this

0:33:060:33:08

was was an opportunity for fashion

connoisseur come quarterback

0:33:080:33:11

Cam Newton to tie the Panthers level

at the top of the NFC South.

0:33:110:33:21

EDDIE BUTLER: Ways to lead your

team. Twice a RAM, twice a Texan.

0:33:210:33:31

Without one spoon of hot chocolate.

But now, of Minnesota. At last the

0:33:310:33:38

quarterback complement to the big

defence of the Vikings. And then

0:33:380:33:43

there's the Cam Newton way, sort of

everything Case Keenum is not. Cam

0:33:430:33:53

Newton against Case Keenum,

face-to-face. 3rd and one.

0:33:530:33:57

Newton against Case Keenum,

face-to-face. 3rd and one. And they

0:33:570:34:01

run it straight ahead... No-one in

the secondary! It's going the

0:34:010:34:04

distance! Jonathan Stewart! 60

yards! Watch right here, four guys,

0:34:040:34:14

all offensive lineman on the right

side for Carolina... Carolina needed

0:34:140:34:19

that! 2nd and ten. An extra receiver

has come onto the field. Down the

0:34:190:34:27

middle it goes, and in the end zone,

fought by Rudolph for the touchdown!

0:34:270:34:31

Inside of Adams, and the perfect

throw from Keenum. Touchdown! Stuart

0:34:310:34:48

gets right up and he gets stuff to

write before. Good job by Joseph and

0:34:480:34:53

just the extra effort. A 30 yard

field goal from Kai Forbath trimmed

0:34:530:34:59

the deficit with just over five

minutes left in the half. Back in

0:34:590:35:06

the end zone, and this time it is

caught! He makes up for it,

0:35:060:35:11

touchdown Minnesota!

Control is

going to be a big question here,

0:35:110:35:17

Tony. Watch the ball.

You see, he

juggles it...

Receiver did not

0:35:170:35:24

control the football, it's an

incomplete pass.

0:35:240:35:30

STUDIO: The Vikings were forced to

settle for another field goal. They

0:35:300:35:35

trailed 14-13 at half-time.

COMMENTATOR: Got to get to the 11

0:35:350:35:41

for a first. Breaking down on him.

Backpedalling to get away from it.

0:35:410:35:50

And touchdown! He gets up the field

and they both have him and he keeps

0:35:500:36:02

his eyes down field and trusts his

receiver, Devin Funchess. First play

0:36:020:36:09

of the second half, and he was hit

when he threw it. Are they going to

0:36:090:36:17

say it's a fumble? Adams has the

football. This is close.

That ball

0:36:170:36:26

gets hit. It was a fumble. First

down.

The Panthers added three

0:36:260:36:36

points off the turnover, with this

41 yard field goal from Graham Gano.

0:36:360:36:42

They led 24-13. Down the middle,

caught Thielen! Thielen breaks the

0:36:420:36:55

tackle, inside the 20! Thielen takes

it for the touchdown! Wow! Watch

0:36:550:37:00

Thielen go right down the middle,

and Kuechly was just a little late

0:37:000:37:05

to get there. Now, they're going to

go for two. Huge playwright here.

0:37:050:37:12

They're putting it on the left. They

were going for the middle, that

0:37:120:37:17

tells you you want space for your

wide receivers over here on the

0:37:170:37:20

right. Pass caught by

BELL. Here's one on one right now.

0:37:200:37:35

Intercepted! Inside the 20! Tackled

at the six! My goodness, what a

0:37:350:37:46

turnaround! Off the hands of

McCaffrey and it is picked of! Cam

0:37:460:37:55

Newton has time but the ball is a

little high. Here's Keenum, in

0:37:550:38:02

trouble. Taken down! And now the

Vikings will try the field goal to

0:38:020:38:08

tie it... Again the Vikings stalled

in the red zone. They fought back to

0:38:080:38:13

tie the game at 24 all. Newton, wide

open... Inside the 40! Inside the

0:38:130:38:22

20! And then has it all the way to

the six, as the defenders try to

0:38:220:38:32

strip it away. 62 yards, Cam Newton!

You're going to see right here, he's

0:38:320:38:38

one on one with Cam Newton, and Cam

Newton says, you're not making that

0:38:380:38:42

tackle. What a play! All of

Carolina's touchdowns today have

0:38:420:38:49

come on third down. Stuart!

The ball

came out! It's a risky move. Big

0:38:490:38:55

decision... That's over there.

7-point lead with 1.47 to play. Here

0:38:550:39:05

we go. 4th and 16, Keenum's pass...

Incomplete! Minnesota's eight-game

0:39:050:39:15

winless streak comes to a close,

Carolina takes it.

Great effort,

0:39:150:39:22

great team effort guys, really proud

of what you did. Don't think I'm

0:39:220:39:25

giving you tomorrow off, with got a

lot of work to do. Were not where we

0:39:250:39:30

want to be but we're heading in that

direction. It is up to us in the

0:39:300:39:34

football team, and let's get it

done.

Everything that I was told not

0:39:340:39:40

to do, I did. Throwing across your

body, you know, sometimes you've

0:39:400:39:47

just got to overcome coaching. And

the guys are just out there playing

0:39:470:39:52

football. I'm just happy that he was

alert to the opportunity and did the

0:39:520:39:58

rest.

Forget the

0:39:580:40:00

alert to the opportunity and did the

rest.

Forget the outfits, there was

0:40:000:40:00

a line in that which you two riled.

Sometimes you've got to overcome

0:40:000:40:06

coaching?

I don't know how he had

the nerve to say that. That's like a

0:40:060:40:13

coach same, I've got to overcome the

weakness of my players. I hear what

0:40:130:40:17

he was saying, he made two plays

that you probably shouldn't have

0:40:170:40:20

done and he made them. Good. You're

a great player but you don't throw

0:40:200:40:25

your coaches under the bus.

You know

what, he just needs to get up there

0:40:250:40:30

and just shot up just he tries to

say things but he doesn't know how

0:40:300:40:34

to say them correctly and they just

come off... How do you get up there

0:40:340:40:38

and say something like that?

Is and

he basically saying, sometimes

0:40:380:40:45

whatever play has been called, you

realise you have got to do something

0:40:450:40:50

different? I'm assuming this was a

bit off-the-cuff?

No, that is a

0:40:500:40:54

design run! This is amazing, he is

supposed to come down one on one,

0:40:540:41:02

and this is what he does, he makes

plays like this. And yes, you've got

0:41:020:41:08

the arm strength to throw across

your body and make the throat like

0:41:080:41:11

he did, you've got the legs, but you

do not call out your coach.

And on

0:41:110:41:17

top of that, you have the option to

throw across your body but nine

0:41:170:41:19

times out of ten that ends up in an

interception - that's why they tell

0:41:190:41:24

you not to do it. So it's not

overcoming your coaching, that's

0:41:240:41:29

ridiculous.

But it might be the

difference between winning...

Stop

0:41:290:41:32

trying to help him!

OK! Moving onto

Case Keenum, which should be an even

0:41:320:41:39

more funded date! Just a bad day at

the office?

Absolutely, and he

0:41:390:41:44

deserves to have a bad day. We have

ranted and raved about him, arguably

0:41:440:41:56

the two best receivers in the

league. He had five dropped passes,

0:41:560:41:59

he threw the ball up the seam and it

was trapped for a touchdown.

This is

0:41:590:42:15

so funny because on our way back

from the gym you didn't say any of

0:42:150:42:19

these things!

You're bringing up our

personal conversations! Nothing is

0:42:190:42:24

safe any more! That was a personal

conversation!

And you know, to me,

0:42:240:42:30

Case Keenum reminds me of a... You

know he is going to get the job

0:42:300:42:35

done, he can get you from A to B but

you're never really that

0:42:350:42:39

comfortable! You feel like something

could go wrong at any minute - and

0:42:390:42:44

this is Case Keenum in a nutshell.

You know he can get the job done but

0:42:440:42:47

at some point you know something is

going to go wrong, and that's

0:42:470:42:50

exactly what happened.

But the other

thing is, the problem is, because of

0:42:500:42:56

the... Teddy Bridgwater and the

state of Case Keenum, as soon as he

0:42:560:43:03

has a bad game, there will be people

like Osi ready to jump on him, and

0:43:030:43:07

he doesn't deserve that. In that

game he lost all half of his

0:43:070:43:14

offensive line so it is not just

him?

Exactly. We knew he had those

0:43:140:43:18

pieces of play where he played

Richie Wellens if he would have

0:43:180:43:22

success. Five topped passes, and

half his own line-out. You can't

0:43:220:43:28

just go back there and have success.

What did I say last week? I said

0:43:280:43:33

there's going to have to come a time

where he is going to have to win the

0:43:330:43:37

game for you and cheese not going to

be able to do it because he is not

0:43:370:43:40

that kind of quarterback check and

it showed this week.

Green Bay at

0:43:400:43:44

the bears - they've got enough to

win the division?

Bengals at Green

0:43:440:43:49

Bay?

And Chicago? Do it quickly

because we will be out of time -

0:43:490:43:57

they've got enough to win the

division?

Yeah. I'm still thinking

0:43:570:44:01

about...

We're out of time! Vets

take a look at some of the other

0:44:010:44:06

week 14 games.

0:44:060:44:10

Right, let's take a look at some

of the other week 14 games.

0:44:100:44:20

Josh broke his hand in the third

quarter.

I feel bad for him.

And the

0:44:290:44:33

Broncos finally ended their

eight-game losing streak. Guess who

0:44:330:44:39

was back for the Giants under the

interim head coach? They were taking

0:44:390:44:47

on Dallas in an all NFC is to

battle. They got off to a good start

0:44:470:44:53

with this touchdown catch from Rhett

Ellison. But then Dak Prescott got

0:44:530:44:57

going. There were touchdowns for

Jason Witten and Des Bryant and

0:44:570:45:07

Dallas are now at seven and six and

they are is still in the play-offs.

0:45:070:45:16

Detroit are still in the play-off

hunt as well. They roared into Tampa

0:45:160:45:21

Bay and then almost run out of puff.

Theo Riddick made it 21-7 going into

0:45:210:45:27

the final quarter. Jonas Winston

then burst into life with a couple

0:45:270:45:31

of touchdowns. But Matt Prater in

the end kicked the winning field

0:45:310:45:35

goal and Detroit are still in the

wild card hunt. Chicago against

0:45:350:45:42

Cincinnati next, and the bearers

dominated the Bengals. I haven't had

0:45:420:45:52

a chance to sound happy that often

this season! Jordan Howe I'd ran for

0:45:520:45:56

a couple of touchdowns. Mitchell

Chip in ski run in for one as well.

0:45:560:46:01

The Bengals are almost out of

play-off contention. Aaron Rodgers

0:46:010:46:05

is still warming up and still

following. Brett Hundley initially

0:46:050:46:09

outshone in Cleveland, Gordon

getting his first touchdown there

0:46:090:46:14

since 2013. And at one stage

Cleveland were 21-7 up. Green Bay

0:46:140:46:21

fought back. They got it to 21

apiece. And then in overtime,

0:46:210:46:25

Davante Adams won it for the Packers

- and went straight down the tunnel!

0:46:250:46:35

That's how you get yourself in the

shower as quickly as possible!

Jimmy

0:46:350:46:41

arrived at Houston, aiming for two

and oh and he had a great game with

0:46:410:46:46

the 49ers. TJ Yates came on for Tom

Savage. But this from Jimmy

0:46:460:46:55

Garoppolo was enough to seal it for

the 49ers.

They might have found

0:46:550:47:03

their quarterback.

They might have

found their quarterback! Let's just

0:47:030:47:06

run through the standings for you.

0:47:060:47:14

AFC North...

0:47:340:47:36

Pittsburgh confirmed

as divisional winners here.

0:47:360:47:41

AFC South...

0:47:410:47:47

Still so tight here,

Kansas City host

0:47:470:47:49

the Chargers next week.

0:47:490:47:50

NFC East...

0:47:500:47:51

Philadelphia confirmed

as divisional champions.

0:47:510:47:56

Now focusing on securing that number

one seed, and they do so without

0:47:560:48:00

Carson vent. Green Bay, with Aaron

Rodgers nearing a return, could well

0:48:000:48:08

pose a threat. Had to battle through

that because Jason has spoken so

0:48:080:48:14

much on this show. And a reminder

that we have the NFL show again this

0:48:140:48:18

Saturday, after Match Of The Day.

And you can also catch everything on

0:48:180:48:22

the iPlayer, including our show

going back to last week. Say nothing

0:48:220:48:27

else, we're out of time. That's it

for tonight, bye-bye.

0:48:270:48:33

EDDIE BUTLER: It all looks so

simple, a place and a name and a

0:48:330:48:37

love affair. Teams neatly packaged

into their eight divisions. Top team

0:48:370:48:43

qualifies plus two wild cards from

each conference. But what intricacy

0:48:430:48:49

along the way, what confusion, what

mystery and twists and turns? All is

0:48:490:48:56

not yet revealed.
