He is going to fire towards the end zone. Roger is looking downfield. A | :00:13. | :00:27. | |
one-man wrecking crew. Unbelievable! How did he do that? For the weather. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Unstoppable. No, that's not my week spent | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
with this pair but words to sum up We'll hear from Osi and Jason later, | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
but before we start the show, a quick reminder of how | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
it all works.. The NFL is split into two | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
conferences - the AFC and the NFC. Each conference has 4 divisions; | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
East, North, South and West. To get to the playoffs you need | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
to win your division, or gain a wildcard spot by having | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
one of the best two records. The teams are then seeded depending | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
on their regular season record. Following the completion | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
of week 14 this is how the playoff picture looked... | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
New England and Kansas City occupied top spot Denver occupied a wild card | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
spot with Miami looking in. top spot Denver occupied a wild card | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
spot with Miami looking in. Dallas and Detroit in 1 and 2 seeds, | :01:19. | :01:29. | |
which if they stayed there by week Tampa Bay in the wildcard spot | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
but Green Bay looking in. Over the hill and past | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
their sell by date... Each season unfortunate | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
candidates across the NFL This season it's been Super Bowl | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
winner Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Starting the season at 4 and 6, there was harsh criticism coming | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
from some quarters in Green Bay. However, you can't keep | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
a Super Bowl winner down. Currently on a 3 game winning | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
streak, Rodgers and Green Bay have roared back to life in the NFC | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
North. the Chicago Bears season has been | :01:59. | :02:14. | |
called. They have long been stuck in the freezer in the basement and for | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
a time, the Green Bay Packers were not exactly chilli hot. Just chilli, | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
feeling the cold as well. But writing off Aaron Rodgers is likely | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
to trigger and fire up the old spirit of defiance. | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
The Packers have won three in a row. They get number two. What a drive | :02:42. | :02:59. | |
for Green Bay. 2nd 4. Not much. Maybe two on the plate, Joe Thomas, | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
the linebacker getting on the tackle. Joe Thomas for the sticker, | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
got that right off could even carries. It is unreal. It really is. | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
Unbelievable. Three Bears possessions later, the field goal | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
put the home team on the board. Chicago would get the ball back. | :03:25. | :03:40. | |
Bellamy makes the catch. Touchdown! Ooh! Josh Bellamy, he has shown a | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
lot as a receiver. It is important as the receiver, right there, he | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
catches it and then a stiff arm a legal stiff arm by Bellamy forcing | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
himself in the end zone. On the next Packers possession, Crosby kicked a | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
34 yarder to tie the game going into half-time. They will start off the | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
half with the football. Green Bay recovers. It is the ageless Julius | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
Peppers. They held them early this year so he would be effective when | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
it matters most. I would say that is effective, running right by. The | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
143rd sack of his career. Still playing great at 36 years old. | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
Unbelievable. What a start. The following Packers possession scrawls | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
-- stalls and they settled for an 18 yarder from Crosby to take a 3-point | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
lead. 3rd 9. Berkeley. Owing to fire it deep. He has got it. Looking | :04:59. | :05:10. | |
for a return. Reverses field. He is taken down at the 42. For the | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
interception of the year for Clinton decks. Reverse and ten. Montgomerie. | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
Gets it back again. Lagan Montgomerie go! -- look at | :05:24. | :05:34. | |
Montgomerie go! He is not built to be that power runner. You can see | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
the talent, they do not have it right now. The fullback is in a nice | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
job. He doesn't seem to have that same role. 2nd down, Montgomerie | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
still in the back four. Montgomerie. In further touchdown. -- in for the | :05:58. | :06:10. | |
touchdown. He fires it, intercepted, the return takes it down. A good | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
first half. Mark Berkeley. The partners have the fourth turnover of | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
the game. Christian Michael is in a tailback. Give it to him. Look at | :06:24. | :06:37. | |
Christian Michael. Touchdown. It is a pack attack in Chicago. They give | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Christian Michael little room and he comes about stiff arm, takes it all | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
the way to the house the Green Bay Packers. Berkeley. Touchdown. It was | :06:47. | :06:58. | |
the shone Jaffrey Drive. Welcome back. Aaron Rodgers is tough. Seven | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
times today he has made deliveries. His numbers would be even bigger, he | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
has had four great drives. He could have had a couple more. He has got | :07:15. | :07:26. | |
time. Brings him down. They had three sacks, their first sack in | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
this half and the Bears sensing momentum. Power, left side. | :07:30. | :07:42. | |
Touchdown. We got game! Jordan Howard, the thing he does, he he | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
sees it, stretch, get downhill, all the way to the end zone. The Bears | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
go in back-to-back possessions. Green Bay hit their first to third | :07:57. | :08:06. | |
downs of the day. Rogers. Pressure. Rogers is going to run. John Teemu | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
prevented the first half. The Bears defense does their job. Berkeley led | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
a 14 Play Drive. It was now 27 all with just over one minute left. 3rd | :08:24. | :08:36. | |
down and 11 for Green Bay. Rogers. Now some pressure, throws it deep. | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
Nelson. He has got it inside the 20. Rogers to Nelson. They have to get | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
up and Spike get. No time outs. Rogers yanked him off. They get set | :08:52. | :09:03. | |
and they sacked it. Unbelievable. Aaron Rodgers, some people think the | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
greatest kicker of the football of all time. It is a beautiful thing to | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
see this guy throw a football. In stride, where it has the explosion | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
guard in the Green Bay offense. Aaron Rodgers says it is right | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
there. From 32 yards, try and win the game for Green Bay. Packers win | :09:30. | :09:44. | |
it. Some game. A 60 yard ball on a 3rd down and 11. Rogers gets the | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
team down to spike it and Mason Crosby wins it. That was a heck of a | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
football game. It was a lot of fun to coach and I like the result. At | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
this time of year, especially going into two more division games, | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
especially what we have been through, we get stronger, as far as | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
our performance and our mentality, we need to get healthy. 27-10 looked | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
pretty good. We let them get back in it. More drive in offense, we did | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
not take any time of the clock. What we had to have played, we made and | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
it was good to get the win. Everybody should know better. You | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
should not write off Rogers and the Packers off. He is an outstanding | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
football player and an outstanding quarterback. You cannot play that | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
kind of defense against a player like that. You see the safety take | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
the shorter route and expose the corner, you cannot do that against | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Aaron Rodgers. You talk about not playing the defense like that | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
against the Packers and yet, you have to give Rogers so much credit | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
for going for this. They could or he could have gone, we will play it | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
safe, go into overtime and then we will try and beat them. That's what | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
makes him so good. He saw that happen. I'm taking the shot and it | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
worked out. Why would you do that? 3rd 11, wild you chase the short | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
route and leave this guy wide open running down the middle of the | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
football field? Sometimes, I don't know. I just don't know. Are you | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
sort of giving Rogers credit but not. You have to give him credit, he | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
was able to see that. He took the shot deep. That was a big mistake by | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
him. As Aaron Rodgers said in his post match press conference, they | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
wanted to get to the stage where they are in control of their own | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
destiny and they are in control of their own destiny and for other | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
teams, they're in control in their division, but you wouldn't want to | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
face them in that division, you would want to face them in the | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
playoffs. Absolutely. They are a team that once they are confident | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
and rolling, they're hard to beat because they have been here before | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
and they have seen all of this before. I managed to get away with | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
that question without giving away any other results. Got there in the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
end. Let's concentrate on Green Bay and look at what positions in | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
particular and Ty Montgomery who has gone from wide receiver to running | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
back in this game, what were his strengths and how difficult was this | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
to do? Extremely difficult. He can break tackles. You just saw that. He | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
breaks tackles. He could read his offensive line and that is key. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
Receivers, you cannot go back there and do that. You see breakaway | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
speed. When you think somebody's job is easy and they say you could not | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
do it, that is what they said to him! Here is better than everyone | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
may have back there. This is ridiculous. You have to be a bigger | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
guy, you have to be more physical to be a running back and he is doing it | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
with ease. Obviously, you were both part of the defense, but when you're | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
in an NFL team, do you ever get the opportunity to look at plays from a | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
different position? If you are wide receiver, do you get a look at it | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
from the point of view of a running back? It depends on how they will | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
use you. If you are receiver and they want you in the backfield | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
because you are a threat like O'Dell back, they will put you in a | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
position where you can see the game from that position. All the offense | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
will get together and watch it. They might be seeing things the exact | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
same way but they have not had the opportunity to put it into position. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
Matt Barkley wore a wet suit apparently. He's a California guy. | :14:12. | :14:25. | |
A Houston and it was just miserable. It was just painful. -- I was in | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
Houston. Word-macro your Goldust game was? In Green Bay 2007. It was | :14:33. | :14:42. | |
ridiculous. Everything hurts in the cold! I had frostbite on my nose. | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
For several months this part of my nose was frozen solid black. I | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
looked like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer! I looked ridiculous. Are | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
their any photos of this? No, no photos. We need graphic evidence. | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
Right, let's take a look at some of the other week 15 games, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
including big games for teams in the AFC... | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
Oakland in line for a playoff place. Derek card -- Derek Carr put that | :15:17. | :15:32. | |
touchdown through for... That guaranteed a playoff spot for the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Oakland Raiders. All three contenders in the AFC South, | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
Indianapolis leading the way with a surprising demolition of the | :15:43. | :15:57. | |
Minnesota Vikings. 34-6. Andrew luck with two. Minnesota have gone | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
downhill rapidly this season. Tennessee were down by ten points at | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
half-time but they kept Kansas City in check, scoring 12 fourth-quarter | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
points to secure a 19-17 win. Derek Henry with two touchdowns. Then this | :16:12. | :16:25. | |
game winning 53 yarder. They are all pumped up. Jacksonville beaten by | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
Houston. This means Houston kept pace, but only just. Brock Osweiller | :16:30. | :16:41. | |
benched. Tom Savage came on. They were trailing 13-0. He led them to a | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
21-20 win. Jacksonville sacked Josh Bradley after the game. On the | :16:50. | :17:01. | |
plane. Miami at the Jets on Saturday night. Matt Moore, the back-up | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
quarterback, four touchdown passes, including a 66 yarder to Jarvis | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
Landry. The Dolphins' playoff hopes still alive. New England Patriot had | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
to beat Denver Broncos and they duly did. They ran out 16-3 winners. | :17:24. | :17:41. | |
Pittsburgh's trailed Cincinnati for most of this game. Chris Boswell | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
kept chipping away at the Bengals' lead. Eli Rogers scored on a 24 yard | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
pass from Ben Roethlisberger to secure a 24-20 victory. Are you | :17:56. | :18:07. | |
still only Jacksonville plane?! Baltimore beat Philadelphia 27-26. | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
Right at the end of the day -- game, they went over from four Yarde side. | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
The kick would have tied the game. They went for two. They failed and | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
the Ravens won. The NFC South, Atlanta staying top. They thrashed | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
San Francisco 41-13. Dev on Tay Freeman with three scores. I fought | :18:38. | :18:50. | |
him one time. On the pitch? Yeah, of course. Back to the round-up. | :18:51. | :19:02. | |
Carolina beat Washington 26-15. It has dented the Redskin' playoff | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
hopes. Nothing on this game as regards playoffs but it is the | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
highest scoring game of the season so far. 48-41 for New Orleans | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
against Arizona. Lets go straight into the AFC | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
standings as there's lots to talk about. | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
New England secure their 8th They make it look so easy! | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
Baltimore Pitsburgh on Christmas Day will go some way to deciding | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
who wins this division. Tennesee Houston tied | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
here and they meet in week 17. Indianapolis still in with a shout. | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
Kansas slip behind Oakland here. Jacksonville sacked their coach on | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
the plane! Did you know that?! Super Bowl winners Denver | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
teetering on the brink of playoff elimination. | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
It's been 14 years since their last playoff appearance, but finally | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
Oakland have secured New England as mentioned | :19:50. | :19:50. | |
clinched their division and also the first round bye, | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
including homefield advantage. Miami are back in the wildcard spot | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
at the expense of Denver who are in serious trouble | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Realistically it's 1 from 3 making the playoffs | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
in the South from Houston, I think we've covered Jacksonville! | :20:03. | :20:20. | |
Let's deal with Brock Osweiller and how difficult it must be to take the | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
decision to bend your quarterback in a game when you have paid $72 | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
million for him, and then make the decision that he isn't going to play | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
this week? That was something they have been thinking about, obviously. | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
They were probably in a position where they thought, if this goes | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
south on us, we have to sit him down. They did. They have a lot of | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
faith in the back-up quarterback. You have to do this for the team. It | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
took a lot of guts. NFL teams hate to be embarrassed. Especially the | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
owners. These guys have a lot of pride. For them to dole out of $72 | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
million and pull him out, that says a lot. He comes on and nigh on | :21:04. | :21:17. | |
immediately does that. And much as being benched, how much will | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Osweiller and his career be affected by how those fans reacted? Man, I | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
want to see the mental toughness of this man. If he can bounce back from | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
this, I will know what type of man he is. He got played all that money, | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
played horribly and the fans let him know, they voiced their displeasure. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
It will be interesting to see how he bounces back. They will give him a | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
chance to earn his spot back. But still, you're right. It's tough. | :21:49. | :22:02. | |
Mike Mularkey went with the two pointer which they didn't get. But | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
it shows the mentality may be? Yeah, they are trying to win games. They | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
trust each other. As a coach, you see that. As a player, you have to | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
respond. That took an enormous amount of guts. This is a team with | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
the playoffs on the line. I can understand in Philadelphia why they | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
did it. They didn't have much to lose. But these guys, if they lost, | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
they been out of the playoff race. It takes a lot of courage. You need | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
some luck if you make it into the playoffs. We go to another two | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
pointer. The Eagles' season is over. They go in for this touchdown, fair | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
enough. They go for two to win it. Nothing on it Philadelphia. | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
Baltimore's hopes can turn on something like this? Absolutely. Can | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
you imagine if they go on to win the Super Bowl?! How would that be? They | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
are a defensive team. That victory will help them. As far as Denver are | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
concerned, do you think they are ride? I think they arrived. | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
Offensively they don't have enough firepower to do it. Their last | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
couple of fixtures, they are at Kansas City and Oakland? They have a | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
tough schedule. But they still have some tremendous football players. | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
Miller, Marcus where it... They have some heart. After the defeat against | :23:44. | :23:57. | |
the Patriots, a member of the fence got up in the locker room and was | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
shot down. Then there was an argument in the dressing room. That | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
is what you -- happens when you are playing well and Defense. Why would | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
the offensive player get up and see anything -- say anything?! I have | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
been in a situation like that. You know you are the weak link. You have | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
to keep quiet. As former players, maybe I'm exaggerating, but do you | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
have a problem with the locker room going at each other? It happens all | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
the time. Especially on team is not winning. All the time it happens, | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
man. If one side of the ball is playing really well and the others | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
aren't, if they don't acknowledge that, they are going at it right | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
away. Do you think that coach would've expected that and maybe | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
wanted it to get them going? He could have but. -- but as a head | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
coach you have to control the locker room. Thank you. Jason and Rudolf! | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
The 12 and 4 regular season back in 2002 that propelled Tampa Bay | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
to Super Bowl glory seems a distant memory for Buccaneers fans. | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
Going into the week 15 game at 8 and 5, and on a five game win | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
streak, Tampa Bay were tied with Atlanta at the top | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
Looking to maintain their hot streak, the young Bucs only had | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
the small task of heading to face the 11-2 Dallas Cowboys! | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
The Dallas Cowboys, imperious, all conquering. But they lost to the New | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
York Giants home and away. A double dent in the body armour. It may make | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
others believe. Why wouldn't the young Buccaneers believe? Every | :25:52. | :26:01. | |
reason to be unafraid. We came to win. | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
This is the second drive for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Was Winston's | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
arm coming forward? The ball is loose. The Dallas Cowboys are going | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
to wind up with it at the 40-yard line. Winston having the ball | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
knocked loose. Was his arm coming forward? That ball shot straight up | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
in the air. They brought a safety blitz that time. Bringing Byron | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
Jones. This landed around. It got there too fast. The Dallas Cowboys | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
don't blitz too much. But their rate of success when they do blitz, very | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
high. It did pay off. 2nd down and goal. Eliot into the end zone! That | :26:54. | :27:08. | |
is his 13th rushing touchdown. Emmitt Smith can appreciate that. I | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
never saw him jump the pot. What's this combination. I love watching | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
great offensive lines. Work together and carve out that big hole. Then go | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
and jump and promote a very good cause, the Salvation Army. Everybody | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
throw something in. 3rd down and six. They go five white. -- wide. | :27:36. | :27:44. | |
Pressure. Winston is somehow able to escape. It is one-handed but dropped | :27:45. | :27:55. | |
by Charles Sims. Man, or man. -- or man. | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
It catches made on the 1-yard line. Brice Butler. 15 completions to | :28:01. | :28:09. | |
eight different receivers. The back is McFadden. Touchdown! On touched. | :28:10. | :28:22. | |
Ten plays, good balance, for rushers, six passes. Two for two. | :28:23. | :28:33. | |
Dallas' lead was cut to 11 going into half-time. | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
3rd 1. We talked about it earlier. When you get either one of these | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
quarterbacks outside the pocket, it puts pressure on the Defense. Rod | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
Marinelli will not give you the default. The more time you have in | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
the pocket, the more time you receivers have to get open. From the | :28:55. | :29:02. | |
42, again play action. Outside the pocket. Deep downfield. It is caught | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
on the deflection by Adam Humphries for the touchdown. I think he's | :29:08. | :29:16. | |
going to get his hands on the ball and just deflected. Let's see. I | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
think he did get his hands on the ball. It ended up in the lap of Adam | :29:22. | :29:23. | |
Humphries. That is recovered. For the Tampa Bay | :29:24. | :29:43. | |
Buccaneers, the perfect start of this half, go right down the field, | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
get a stop, they arrive back in the game. Winston has time, fires and it | :29:48. | :29:56. | |
is called for the touchdown by Cameron. Seven touchdowns for him | :29:57. | :30:06. | |
this season. Look at what the safety dance, Jones, they are trying to | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
follow him back inside to the middle marking linebacker in the middle of | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
thinking he can make the place, but they are throwing it right around | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
Anthony Hitchens for the touchdown. The Cowboys responded on the next | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
drive with a field goal from Dan Bailey to tie the game in the fourth | :30:26. | :30:33. | |
quarter. 3rd 14. Crowd at full volume right now. Four-man rush. The | :30:34. | :30:40. | |
passes high and intercepted at the 40-yard line. She takes it back to | :30:41. | :30:49. | |
the 21. David Irving helped to create that. He put it on the | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
quarterback. I'm not so sure about David Ervine got a piece of that | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
ball. Let's take a look. One more time. Does he get his hands on the | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
football? Hard to tell. Just head to his elbow as he was releasing it and | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
made the ball sail. David Irving as he did against Green Bay is turning | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
things in favour of the boys. Dallas went three and out following the | :31:16. | :31:22. | |
Winston head. They took a 23-20 lead. The Cowboys got the ball back. | :31:23. | :31:29. | |
Downswing, looking, throws underneath and then is caught. The | :31:30. | :31:39. | |
ball comes loose. Jason Witten lost it. They think they have it. To be | :31:40. | :31:46. | |
determined. I think they do. The way Frederik gets up. Alexander with a | :31:47. | :31:58. | |
shot. Jason Whitten. Jason Garrett. He can only shake his head. 3rd 5. | :31:59. | :32:11. | |
In the backfield. He drops Winston and flows. Russell Shepherd. The | :32:12. | :32:21. | |
Cowboys give up the ball on the fumble and then stop them in | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
midfield. They will bring in the front group. Prescott is 31 of 35. | :32:27. | :32:36. | |
Big hole. Eliot. Off to the races. Finally forced out of bounds by | :32:37. | :32:45. | |
Keith Tandy. Five plays later, Bailey kicked his fourth field goal | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
to give Dallas the lead in the fourth quarter. It comes out of | :32:49. | :32:55. | |
theirs, 12 yards on a 4th down with the Dallas Cowboys winning. Winston | :32:56. | :33:04. | |
buying time, looking downfield, fires into traffic and it is a | :33:05. | :33:13. | |
50-yard line are landowners can drag interception to wrap it up. It was | :33:14. | :33:22. | |
an important week. How are we going to respond? Our guys did a great job | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
responding. We came out and did a good job early on in the ball game | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
to get a lead and then we started throwing the ball a lot earlier the | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
second half. The response came back to the forefront. You turn it over | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
to much, could not finish in the red zone in those first couple of tries. | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
We did a good job getting back into the game, had our chances. Credit to | :33:48. | :33:54. | |
Dallas and we will start getting ready for the Saints next week. I | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
suppose that was a simplistic overview, we had two young | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
quarterbacks, James Wilson Winston who we praise, not having a good | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
game, Dak Prescott who was criticised last week is having a | :34:09. | :34:18. | |
good game. That is what you want to see as an organisation. The main | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
thing is to see a guy bounce back, how do you come back from adversity, | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
can we trust you in tough moments and he is showing that. Big game. It | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
was. It is not how many times you get knocked down, it is how many | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
times you get back up. There was a lot of pressure against the New York | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
Giants, coming from me, but he came back and he played extremely well. | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
It wasn't just due, it was the Dallas media. And the NFL media. | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
There was a lot of noise about whether Tony Romo would come back | :34:52. | :34:58. | |
again, and there is Tony Romo. Osi, I thought you said you're coming | :34:59. | :35:08. | |
back! It was not just Osi, given the whole circus that surrounds the | :35:09. | :35:10. | |
Dallas Cowboys, he has done very well. It is tough to handle. | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
Everyone has been saying, they believe in the sky and trust him. It | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
is everyone else who does not know him like that. Do you think that | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
will end it now? The next bad games they will not go back to Tony Romo? | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
Tony Romo in my opinion is still the better quarterback, he gives them | :35:32. | :35:34. | |
the better chance to win the tough games that will be coming up later | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
in the season. He has been playing tough games! I understand your | :35:39. | :35:43. | |
point, but I'm telling you from my perspective, Tony Romo is the better | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
quarterback. If he has two more bad games, they will go back to Tony | :35:49. | :35:50. | |
Romo. Each A quick reminder that you can | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
get another dose of NFL We'll have highlights of a huge NFC | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
East rivalry as the New York Giants head to the Philadelphia Eagles | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
on Thursday Night Football and we'll preview the penultimate | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
round of the regular season. If you miss it on Friday it's | :36:04. | :36:05. | |
repeated on Saturday morning, Finishing that particular season | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
at 9 and 7, they went on to win We're talking the New | :36:08. | :36:18. | |
York Giants of course! Apparently there was some British | :36:19. | :36:21. | |
bloke playing for them, can't quite remember his name... | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
Anyway, on a 5 game win streak and visiting New Jersey | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
were the Detroit Lions. In a commanding position in the NFC | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
North, this game was the first of three tough remanining games that | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
would test their ability I still can't remember | :36:40. | :36:41. | |
the name of that guy... it was me! Are you guys serious? The | :36:42. | :37:02. | |
moment of out on a limestone, a dislocated class. Top of the | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
division, but you need to be sharp to scratch a Giant. Giant is taking | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
strides, chasing down the best, the home stretch. Dallas last week, | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
Detroit this week, big steps, thinking big. | :37:19. | :37:29. | |
This alliance defense, they have given up yards and where they have | :37:30. | :37:37. | |
been good, they make them run the yards a game. Second and then, | :37:38. | :37:49. | |
Manning is sidelined. That might be his final home game as a Giant. Here | :37:50. | :38:00. | |
is Perkins, 1st down and more. Just get it away, Shepherd, corner of the | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
end zone, touchdown. The now that was a good start, great finish to a | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
good opening drive. That opens up all this room for Sterling Shepherd | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
to work the corner of the end zone. The receiver comes underneath and | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
you have got that much field to operate, it is a matter of your | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
receiver being at the back. A good start for Eli Manning. Plenty of | :38:30. | :38:38. | |
action. That ball had some zip on it. Stafford protected. End zone, | :38:39. | :38:50. | |
what a play. Eli Apple got his hand in there before golden Tate could | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
make the catch and that saved the cats down. That led to the 48 yard | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
field goal and the Giants led 7-3 and the Lions would get ball back. | :39:01. | :39:06. | |
Starting at the 22, Stafford rolls out. Tate is behind the defects and | :39:07. | :39:15. | |
golden Tate down near the town, he saved the touchdown Wow and 67 yards | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
per Matthew Stafford. He has been playing a lot. He comes in because | :39:22. | :39:30. | |
of the injury to Jenkins. Dominic Rogers lost coverage coming he comes | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
off Golden Tate, an easy one. Only because of the speed is it not a | :39:37. | :39:43. | |
touchdown. A double move that he bet on but he ran right by him and I'm | :39:44. | :39:50. | |
not sure what he was thinking. His first carry. Into the end zone. | :39:51. | :39:58. | |
Recovered by Vernon. The Giants will take over. 2nd 6, Manning throws. | :39:59. | :40:12. | |
Makes a move. To the 45. 3rd down and 22. That is it. The progress is | :40:13. | :40:25. | |
stopped. The Giants turned that into points thanks to the 47 yard field | :40:26. | :40:35. | |
goal, 10-3, the half-time score. There's one floated for Jones, what | :40:36. | :40:43. | |
a catch! 21 yards. He has got Eli Apple right on top of them. Marvin | :40:44. | :40:48. | |
Jones, he goes and fights through the coverage and makes a play on the | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
ball and what an acquisition Marvin Jones was. Stafford. Each down he | :40:54. | :41:04. | |
goes, eventually. Olivier Bernard was there to clean it up. The Lions | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
sells for another field goal and the Giants lead was down to four points | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
going into the fourth quarter. 3rd down and ten. Manning, back-up, what | :41:15. | :41:23. | |
a throw! What a catch! A big 1st down for the Giants, covered by | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
Jackson and the completion of 25. Best throw of the day for Eli | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
Manning. They are doubling up on Beckham. Once he goes for the | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
corner, the safety is no longer a factor and it is not just terrible | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
coverage, he lays it in beautifully to Beckham. Shepherd. He has a | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
touchdown in this game, down the sideline. It is not the way we used | :41:51. | :42:00. | |
to do it when I was playing. That worked. There is no hermit with the | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
Giants. What a catch, Batham, he has done it | :42:06. | :42:27. | |
again! Touchdown, Giants! Another one for the highlight reel. He is a | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
way out in front of Odell Beckham. The only chance he had was for one | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
arm. He made that catch look routine. Finishing off this drive | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
for six points, seven if they make this extra point, outstanding job in | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
the offense. Down in ten, a field goal is an option. If they are going | :42:51. | :42:55. | |
to make points. I think that is what they will do if they do not pick it | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
up here. The passes picked off, Dominic Rogers and he will wisely | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
celebrate in the end zone and take it out of play. At this defense is | :43:08. | :43:15. | |
playing great football. The Giants have won their tenth game as they | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
are making play for their first playoff appearance since the 2011 | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
Championship season and Eli Manning, can celebrate a victory. Great team | :43:24. | :43:33. | |
win, very good football team. All our players played a part, it is a | :43:34. | :43:40. | |
short week. When those football games, that is a great quality to | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
have. That is what we have to have going into December, you get the | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
weather, the playoffs, you need to win those games that we have been in | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
a lot of them. The offense and defense have stepped up and made | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
great plays. They are good team. The best we have played all year. They | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
have a really good defensive line and a really good secondary, we knew | :44:02. | :44:08. | |
it would be a tell it, we did not make enough plays, that is it. We | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
will not make any excuses about anything. We lost the game to a good | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
football team. We have been on a good run to, it is just one game. We | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
did not play as well as we would like. We're ready for the next one. | :44:22. | :44:28. | |
Such is the strength of this division, Dallas are confirmed | :44:29. | :44:30. | |
in the playoffs but haven't secured the division and also that important | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
first or second seed that gives them the first round bye. | :44:34. | :44:35. | |
Detroit beware the Green Bay Packers. | :44:36. | :44:37. | |
The Lions now only have a one game lead but head to Dallas next | :44:38. | :44:40. | |
and then face Green Bay in week 17. Tampa Bay fall one game behind | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
Atlanta which damages their hopes of winning this division. | :44:44. | :44:46. | |
Seattle's Thursday Night win over LA secured this division. | :44:47. | :44:48. | |
Green Bay have moved into contention this week at the expense of Tampa | :44:49. | :44:51. | |
Let's toke New York and their defense. You called Jenkins the best | :44:52. | :45:12. | |
in the game at the moment. He got injured. That will be a worry. He | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
has been playing the best football of his career. And out of anything | :45:17. | :45:24. | |
we have seen in New York for a long period of time! The Giants cannot | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
keep sustaining these injuries. To lose him for any period of time | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
would be a disaster. You rose above that. Better for the show. He allows | :45:35. | :45:41. | |
them to do so much and Defense because he can take away their | :45:42. | :45:47. | |
number one receivers, which frees up the rest of the Defense. He has a | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
bruised back. He may be back later on. On a general discussion about | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
the Defense, we had a chat before we came on. I asked you if it was | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
similar to you talking about the Denver Defense last season. Denver's | :46:03. | :46:13. | |
pass rush was outstanding. Olivia Berman is a really good football | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
player but by himself he is not going to be able to create things. | :46:18. | :46:23. | |
It's the Giants got a wild card and Green Bay and Atlanta win their | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
divisions, who would they prefer to go to? That is a tough call. I would | :46:28. | :46:36. | |
say Atlanta. Only because you are going against a weaker Defense. You | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
would hope that you are hot on Offense. Your Defense is going to | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
keep it tight. These are the top five teams who should do the most | :46:48. | :46:54. | |
damage in the playoffs. I can't conceivably put the Cowboys | :46:55. | :47:21. | |
ahead of the Giants. Jason's index. Jason rarely changes his mind. Two | :47:22. | :47:30. | |
have gone. You have put the Giants and the Steelers in. The Giants are | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
hot right now. They are playing well. Pittsburgh have got there are | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
three weapons on Offense and they are playing together. Defensively | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
they are not playing -- giving up a number of points. Years mine! He is | :47:47. | :47:55. | |
coming over to the dark side! Yard and Rudolf and Darth Vader tonight. | :47:56. | :47:56. | |
That is remarkable. Don't forget the NFL Show this | :47:57. | :47:57. | |
