And it will be time for these adults teams to settle in between the white

:00:08.:00:13.

line. He will fire it towards the end zone -- two teams. A one-man

:00:14.:00:27.

wrecking crew. Unbelievable! How did he do that? For the win. Constable

:00:28.:00:35.

bothers-macro 32 has become 12,

:00:36.:00:35.

the playoffs are here and the journey to Houston for

:00:36.:00:39.

Super Bowl 51 is up and running starting with

:00:40.:00:42.

wild card weekend. having intermingled occasionally,

:00:43.:00:55.

the two conferences of the NFL now keep their own company, to find the

:00:56.:01:02.

champions of the AFC and the NFC. Only then will the mix again. At the

:01:03.:01:10.

Super Bowl in Houston. Teams that have never been to the Super Bowl

:01:11.:01:14.

are here in the playoffs, the Houston Texans and the Detroit

:01:15.:01:20.

Lions. Elsewhere, more familiar faces abound. Those that know and

:01:21.:01:26.

those stepping into the unknown. It is wild card weekend.

:01:27.:01:36.

So Super Bowl LI in Houston is what are 12 teams are working towards and

:01:37.:01:45.

in the AFC, Miami head to Pittsburgh, the only matchup sees

:01:46.:01:49.

Oakland head to Houston. New England will welcome the lowest seed and

:01:50.:01:57.

Kansas City will face the highest remaining seed. In the NFC, Detroit

:01:58.:02:03.

ahead to the west Coast to face Seattle and the other game sees the

:02:04.:02:08.

New York Giants head to the Green Bay Packers. Dak Prescott and the

:02:09.:02:12.

Dallas Cowboys await the lowest seed while at Atlanta await the highest

:02:13.:02:15.

remaining seed in the NFC. You are looking forward to it? We

:02:16.:02:18.

are going to have fun tonight. Detroit have not won a playoff

:02:19.:02:29.

game on the road in 50 years, in fact they've won

:02:30.:02:32.

just one playoff game total, all the way back

:02:33.:02:34.

in Looking to rewrite history

:02:35.:02:36.

they go to Seattle, a city where the Seahawks have

:02:37.:02:39.

not lost a home playoff It was only three years ago

:02:40.:02:41.

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks A win over the Lions would go

:02:42.:02:45.

some way to returning The postseason of 1991, the Detroit

:02:46.:03:04.

Lions only win in a playoff. Matt Stafford was three back then, not

:03:05.:03:08.

that he was quite yet playing but like everyone in the city, it he

:03:09.:03:11.

will note that the Lions have never been to the Super Bowl. This Seattle

:03:12.:03:18.

Seahawks have and Russell Wilson was outstanding. The Seahawks current

:03:19.:03:24.

form, a little bumpy, but Seattle, high in the top left corner of NFL

:03:25.:03:29.

land is the citadel hard to take. And they roll and a little boot and

:03:30.:03:45.

the path is caught. A scrimmage by Matthew Mulligan. That will turn at

:03:46.:03:51.

the ball over to the Seahawks. Bobby whitener is there. Hawks from the

:03:52.:04:04.

48-yard line. A nine yard game. Are they really going to go for this? At

:04:05.:04:09.

least for the moment they will line up to go for it. McAvoy -- McAvoy is

:04:10.:04:22.

a big receiver. Wilson is going to love one. All kinds of action in the

:04:23.:04:30.

end zone. He comes up with the ball. What a catch! Wilson was all over

:04:31.:04:41.

him. Interference. The penalty is declined as a result of play.

:04:42.:04:48.

Stafford thought it should have been offensive pass interference. There

:04:49.:04:54.

is the foul, no question about it. Catch, goes to the ground and Paul

:04:55.:05:01.

Richardson, their third at best. That is a way to move up the chart.

:05:02.:05:13.

3rd 9. Stafford hangs. Anquan Bouldin cannot hang on. Bouldin at

:05:14.:05:20.

the end of this play will push an innocent man. It was right in front

:05:21.:05:28.

of the official. 2nd down in ten from the 24-yard line. He is able to

:05:29.:05:34.

Spring away again, what a night for this guy. He broke away and he has

:05:35.:05:46.

gained 101 yards. MARK CHAPMAN: He made a field goal to extend the lead

:05:47.:05:50.

for Seattle. The Lions responded when they got the ball, this 51 yard

:05:51.:05:57.

making it 10-3 to the Seahawks going into half-time. 2nd down and nine

:05:58.:06:06.

from the 21-yard line. Stafford throws. A juggling catch. Out past

:06:07.:06:14.

the 40. Sherman writes him down at the 44-yard line. Thank goodness he

:06:15.:06:21.

hung on to that. They needed that play. MARK CHAPMAN: He went over

:06:22.:06:26.

again this time from 53 yard to cut the lead for Seattle to just four.

:06:27.:06:32.

He had three receivers stacked to the left. They will run the ball.

:06:33.:06:39.

Rawls bursts through the line. Wilson is down there. He takes it to

:06:40.:06:47.

the 35-yard line. Rawls slow in getting out. Russell Wilson throwing

:06:48.:06:52.

a block. MARK CHAPMAN: Seattle stalled in the red zone settling for

:06:53.:06:58.

a field goal to take a lead in the final quarter. From the 16. He will

:06:59.:07:07.

get taken down at the line of scrimmage. A late flag. After that

:07:08.:07:14.

play was over, foul, number 80, offense. 2nd down. That is a second

:07:15.:07:25.

foul on Bouldin. He is tough and physical, he played with a broken

:07:26.:07:30.

jaw. When you have a chance to move in the playoffs, he is a veteran

:07:31.:07:35.

guys. Clearing up about Anquan Bouldin, both penalties against him

:07:36.:07:41.

have been for unnecessary roughness. Even though he has had two

:07:42.:07:45.

penalties, he could still have an unsportsmanlike and not be thrown

:07:46.:07:52.

out of the game. You tell me. Rawls. Wilson goes deep down the sideline.

:07:53.:07:59.

Bouldin was able to hold him. It did he stay inbounds? At the 23-yard

:08:00.:08:06.

line they will call it a completion. Any time you're asking a safety like

:08:07.:08:13.

Tavon Wilson who is much more than a run of play, watch this catch, get

:08:14.:08:27.

those down, spectacular. Thomas Rawls for the touchdown. The

:08:28.:08:32.

Seahawks just went 82 yards in eight plays to turn it into a Das

:08:33.:08:41.

possession lead. Stafford fires -- two possession lead. Stafford gets

:08:42.:08:52.

part by Bobby Wagner. Flag thrown, Richardson able to come up with the

:08:53.:08:59.

ball. Bending their flag. Did they trade for Odell Beckham Jr? This is

:09:00.:09:07.

unbelievable! He snaps his head down to make that catch. They may have

:09:08.:09:15.

found a factor here. 3rd 9. Wilson on the run. Not caught. Incomplete.

:09:16.:09:27.

Bouldin goes over to Carol Ann says challenge that. He caught it between

:09:28.:09:33.

his legs. I don't think that headed to ground. Is there are enough to

:09:34.:09:39.

overturn it? Pete Carroll gives this a try. I think it is a catch. I do,

:09:40.:09:50.

too. He is controlling it. It is a catch. Three receivers stacked to

:09:51.:10:02.

the left. Wilson goes that way. Das guys there and Bouldin captures it.

:10:03.:10:13.

He's stolen. -- two. He had a walk-in, stand-up touchdown. Watch

:10:14.:10:23.

Doug Baldwin steal it from him. It has been a one-handed catch show

:10:24.:10:28.

tonight for the Seahawks. The Seahawks are moving on and the

:10:29.:10:33.

Detroit Lions go into the offseason. They have been working on it. They

:10:34.:10:39.

have been battling all year. They are feeling pretty good. We always

:10:40.:10:43.

want to be able to run the ball and throw it at a high level and mix it

:10:44.:10:49.

up. That bounce attack coming at it at different angles it gives us a

:10:50.:10:53.

chance to be successful. I thought it was a great game and there is no

:10:54.:10:59.

place like home. Russell Wilson said they always wanted to be able to run

:11:00.:11:03.

the ball and they have not been able to do it. Thomas Rawls back and

:11:04.:11:09.

firing is a plus. Absolutely. He was healthy and the offensive line

:11:10.:11:15.

dominated. They created things for a Rawls and he made things happen.

:11:16.:11:21.

Paul Richardson had a great game. As spectacular as this catch is, should

:11:22.:11:28.

this have stood? You know, by the rule book, yes, but as a defender, I

:11:29.:11:34.

am thinking, what is this? He cannot play the ball. We see the flag, it

:11:35.:11:42.

is for the penalty on the defense. You put your arm out, you cant let

:11:43.:11:47.

him get back, it was a pass interference. Detroit feel they have

:11:48.:11:55.

been the victims of poor officiating. Is that another

:11:56.:12:00.

example? That should have been called. The catch was so

:12:01.:12:04.

spectacular, you cannot deny him a touchdown. Detroit, while they may

:12:05.:12:10.

complain about the officiating they shot themselves in the foot with two

:12:11.:12:17.

penalties against him. Not necessarily a crucial point but they

:12:18.:12:23.

were 7-0 down, the second one that we will see, is in the fourth

:12:24.:12:27.

quarter, how can someone so experienced lose his cool like that?

:12:28.:12:34.

I don't understand. He is there to bring leadership, someone that

:12:35.:12:38.

players look up to. You see this activity, I don't know, maybe he had

:12:39.:12:45.

a rough week in practice. There is no explanation. He is not this type

:12:46.:12:50.

of person. For him to display these aggressive tendencies, but in this

:12:51.:12:57.

situation, you were brought their are veteran leadership, you're not

:12:58.:13:00.

brought there to catch 100 balls, you are there to calm down the

:13:01.:13:08.

younger guys. Five years have passed.

:13:09.:13:14.

Five years have passed since the New York Giants,

:13:15.:13:16.

from a city of 8.5 million people, rolled into the small

:13:17.:13:19.

city of Green Bay, with it's 100,000 population, and

:13:20.:13:21.

won a playoff matchup that led to Super Bowl success.

:13:22.:13:24.

Back then Osi was 2 stone heavier than he is now,

:13:25.:13:26.

which is quite the opposite to how footballers in the UK

:13:27.:13:29.

go in their retirement, however, the Super Bowl 46

:13:30.:13:31.

success was the Giants last appearance in playoff

:13:32.:13:33.

8 Super Bowls split equally between them, Green Bay

:13:34.:13:36.

are on a six game win streak and their quarterback

:13:37.:13:38.

Aaron Rodgers looks every bit the MVP from Super

:13:39.:13:41.

The strong arm of experience. Eli Manning for at the Super Bowl

:13:42.:13:55.

Giants. Can that I find the hands of Odell Beckham Jr? Back in the glory

:13:56.:14:00.

days, the Giants won playoff games here in Green Bay. The Packers with

:14:01.:14:05.

a special place in the game, owned by their fans, this is their

:14:06.:14:10.

fortress, this, they're a team on something of a surge with an

:14:11.:14:15.

experienced arm of their own, Aaron Rodgers.

:14:16.:14:25.

Giants hairy it up, Beckham is there and cannot hang on. Beckham got

:14:26.:14:36.

behind him and maybe a little too much air from Eli. Manning, M zone,

:14:37.:14:49.

Shepherd. Defended. He is a do everything player for the Packers

:14:50.:14:54.

and was there and poked it away. This time he has lined up outside. A

:14:55.:15:02.

well thrown ball. MARK CHAPMAN: After the drop, the Giants settled

:15:03.:15:07.

for a field goal to take it 3-0 lead going into the quarter.

:15:08.:15:14.

Here is Nelson. Got three and cannot make the catch. He was in front of

:15:15.:15:23.

Leon Hall and now Nelson after getting their head is on all fours.

:15:24.:15:31.

They hit him in the ribs. Quarterbacks typically have the rib

:15:32.:15:36.

protectors but the receivers do not and he is in a great deal of pain.

:15:37.:15:42.

We will find out, it looks like he will be making a return.

:15:43.:15:48.

Eli Manning, it looks like Rodgers getting up to the line. And this one

:15:49.:16:06.

is good. COMMENTATOR: Four plays later, New York took the lead, 6-0.

:16:07.:16:12.

COMMENTATOR: After that sack, they go for Adams! Working on the rocky

:16:13.:16:24.

and what a throw for 31. The Green Bay Packers do a pretty good job of

:16:25.:16:28.

their own coming away with touchdowns in this position, they

:16:29.:16:32.

are tenth in the NFL, last week, Rodgers got off to a tough start and

:16:33.:16:37.

then heated up. It only takes a play like he just threw to get your

:16:38.:16:41.

confidence back. First half. Second goal. Rodgers scanning, Time running

:16:42.:16:58.

out again. What a player. Rodgers is fearless! And Adams hang on. As good

:16:59.:17:05.

as this coverage is, you allow him to sit back and eventually he'll

:17:06.:17:09.

find a way over. The Green Bay Packers's defends the third worst in

:17:10.:17:16.

the league so far this season on stopping people at 3rd 1. The New

:17:17.:17:20.

York Giants are in a position to come away with some points of their

:17:21.:17:25.

own. It's raining on the carry on 3rd 1, it's surprising to say the

:17:26.:17:30.

least. A time-out will be taken here by Green Bay. They'll take a shot

:17:31.:17:38.

down the field, they'll try to get the ball from out of bounds and

:17:39.:17:43.

maybe pick up a few yards, maybe take the opportunity for a field

:17:44.:17:52.

goal. Rodgers does this better than anybody. Enzyme, touchdown.

:17:53.:18:04.

Unbelievable. The safety players come you've got to get deeper than

:18:05.:18:10.

the deepest guys. Leon Hall throttles at the goal-line and his

:18:11.:18:16.

team-mate gets in behind everybody. It is inexplicable as to how you

:18:17.:18:20.

allow any offensive players in front of you in a hail Mary situation. Who

:18:21.:18:33.

does that better than Aaron Rodgers! Manning. King. The first-year player

:18:34.:18:40.

out of Georgia who had a big catch last week at Washington gets in. And

:18:41.:18:46.

it is a two point game. Rodgers is getting a hot hand. It's a

:18:47.:19:01.

touchdown. That's the position if he was on the field, Cobb puts a

:19:02.:19:11.

veteran move on him and gives Aaron Rodgers an open field. But looked

:19:12.:19:20.

easy for the Green Bay Packers. Manning hazard. No signal yet.

:19:21.:19:25.

Incomplete. On the following possession Crosby kicked a field

:19:26.:19:30.

goal to extend Green Bay Packers's lead to 11 points going into the

:19:31.:19:36.

next quarter. COMMENTATOR: 3rd 11. It's off his hands. And right or

:19:37.:19:43.

wrong, when you deal with Beckham, and the receiver crew did on the off

:19:44.:19:49.

date Monday, and that pass was a bit too deep for Beckham but he hasn't

:19:50.:19:54.

been the typical presence in this game, people will point out that

:19:55.:19:55.

trip. The protection up front for Aaron

:19:56.:20:20.

Rodgers has been so good, as we mentioned earlier, he's been sacked

:20:21.:20:23.

five times in the game. They have been tremendous. Manning has it

:20:24.:20:34.

knocked away by Matthew was. Is that a life ball. I have not heard a

:20:35.:20:38.

whistle get. And Matthews, who made the hit, is on top of the ball. How

:20:39.:20:43.

about Matthews in the hustle committee knows it is a life ball.

:20:44.:20:49.

The ball was recovered by Green Bay at the 45-yard line. With everyone

:20:50.:20:54.

standing around, Matthews goes and gets said. -- gets it.

:20:55.:21:07.

In for the touchdown. And a winning streak has hit seven. Getting into a

:21:08.:21:20.

flow early, I think, obviously the passing game, I need to do a better

:21:21.:21:27.

job, some basic throws and once we got going with accident. These are

:21:28.:21:32.

the learning experiences, tough as you are, this is what you stand on

:21:33.:21:37.

and grow from. It sucks, there is no other way to put it. Every single

:21:38.:21:43.

time it is fun. I think we are starting to believe that any time

:21:44.:21:47.

that ball goes up there, we've got a chance. I can throw it pretty good

:21:48.:21:52.

but it's got to happen at the other end as well. Green Bay's win over

:21:53.:21:57.

New York sees them head to number one seed Dallas, is the highest seed

:21:58.:22:05.

from wild card weekend Seattle go to Atlanta, two blockbuster games to

:22:06.:22:05.

look forward to next week. They both dismissed

:22:06.:22:09.

the Packers last week for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers

:22:10.:22:13.

still have playoff football, at the expense

:22:14.:22:22.

of the Giants. All the talk was about how the New

:22:23.:22:40.

York defense was going to lock up the Green Bay Packers. Some people

:22:41.:22:46.

did get locked up but it wasn't the Green Bay Packers. It was the

:22:47.:22:50.

outstanding offensive line play of the Green Bay Packers. The

:22:51.:22:52.

quarterback knows that he has three seconds. That's what they are

:22:53.:22:56.

taught, they have an internal clock in the head that says that after

:22:57.:23:00.

three seconds The Boro will be gone and or I will be sacked. I want you

:23:01.:23:06.

guys to watch how many seconds Aaron Rodgers holds the ball here. We're

:23:07.:23:11.

just going to have a chat. What are you doing later, J Boyd, want to

:23:12.:23:16.

have some fun, wants to go to a bar? Oh, he still has the ball. This is

:23:17.:23:22.

ridiculous. If I were a defensive lineman and I was on the field I

:23:23.:23:26.

would take off my pads and walk off because I'm an embarrassment. He

:23:27.:23:35.

held the ball for 11 seconds. I want you to watch this man and have a

:23:36.:23:41.

look at Vernon. In this particular situation you will see an offensive

:23:42.:23:46.

lineman working with another offensive lineman, they work

:23:47.:23:54.

together. Watch them. The pocket is cleaned for Aaron Rodgers giving him

:23:55.:23:58.

more time to step in the pocket and throw the football. This is what

:23:59.:24:01.

happens when they play well together. The guard is right there

:24:02.:24:08.

to make a great play and give Aaron Rodgers all the time he needs to

:24:09.:24:13.

make a great play and make the touchdown for the Green Bay Packers.

:24:14.:24:18.

This is the Hail Mary pass. A lot of people want to focus on Aaron

:24:19.:24:22.

Rodgers, the throat and the catch but for him to make this play happen

:24:23.:24:27.

he needs to have time in the pocket. And the running back has got to come

:24:28.:24:31.

in because he's going to help. You see the play start to develop. Watch

:24:32.:24:36.

the running back. He is looking for protection, hoping to help some

:24:37.:24:41.

things happen. Aaron Rodgers is going to throw the Hail Mary. You

:24:42.:24:54.

know what, I just can't! Cobb is the shortest guy on the football field,

:24:55.:24:58.

he is five foot eight, how do you allow him to make this past! They

:24:59.:25:04.

are supposed to be the NYPD! They make me so angry, man! They are

:25:05.:25:12.

looking at each other confused! What are you doing? Explain this to me

:25:13.:25:17.

before I go crazy. You know what, you're right. The whole issue is the

:25:18.:25:23.

fact that there's a lot of pressure over here. Oh, my goodness. Stay

:25:24.:25:35.

with me. Stay with me. What's the problem? This is my problem. You are

:25:36.:25:42.

always supposed to have a designated jumper. We want to bring in an

:25:43.:25:48.

offensive guy that can get the ball. Everyone else is supposed to face

:25:49.:25:53.

the offenders and push them out. And who jumps? Nobody. Nobody jumps for

:25:54.:26:02.

the NYPD. I don't want to be associated with them. Had a problem

:26:03.:26:07.

with my jacket and I was cold so I needed to find a shirt... So, just

:26:08.:26:14.

on that, it is a very nice fit, you've explained to me in the past

:26:15.:26:17.

but sometimes you put the wide receiver there to stop the Hail Mary

:26:18.:26:22.

so why wasn't Prodl back in there, not that I'm blaming him. -- why

:26:23.:26:36.

wasn't Odell Beckham there. We as defenders knew how to get in front

:26:37.:26:40.

of the guys and kind of war them out. The way that he was knocking

:26:41.:26:45.

the balls down he would have been good. He had a bad day and I think

:26:46.:26:53.

he's had a lot of stick, Odell Beckham Jr, partly because he went

:26:54.:26:58.

on a yacht in Miami on his day off, and he was warming up topless

:26:59.:27:03.

beforehand. Did he take it too far this week? Players deserve their day

:27:04.:27:09.

off, there's no problem with it. But this, it's the social media game,

:27:10.:27:13.

they are saying, look, we have done this before, no big deal but it was

:27:14.:27:20.

a big deal today. If you were on the same team what would you have said

:27:21.:27:26.

to him if you were walking around. I would have said, you've got to cut

:27:27.:27:31.

this out, this is a serious game, I know you are well within your rights

:27:32.:27:35.

but this is about the team, not you, why would you go to Miami on a yacht

:27:36.:27:39.

and post pictures. You know the river conditions of that. You've

:27:40.:27:44.

painted a big capital X on yourself and then not delivering in the

:27:45.:27:50.

biggest game of your life, this situation reminds me of Carmen

:27:51.:27:53.

Newton last year. He wasn't as crazy as this that he put a big X on

:27:54.:28:03.

himself. Not as crazy as this though.

:28:04.:28:06.

A quick reminder that you can get another dose of NFL

:28:07.:28:09.

We'll look ahead to the blockbuster divisional games

:28:10.:28:12.

coming our way this weekend, which includes Green

:28:13.:28:14.

If you miss the show on Friday evening you can catch

:28:15.:28:18.

Once upon a time Houston head coach Bill O'Brien

:28:19.:28:21.

was Tom Brady's quarterback coach in New England,

:28:22.:28:23.

oh how he must yearn for a Brady to lead the Texans

:28:24.:28:26.

The $72 million investment in Brock Osweiller has

:28:27.:28:38.

not worked out, but with Jadeveon Clowney leading

:28:39.:28:42.

It's that juicy! I know what I'm doing!

:28:43.:28:52.

licking their lips at facing Oakland.

:28:53.:28:54.

Houston have never been to a Super Bowl, Oakland

:28:55.:28:57.

have three to their name, but 14 years have passed

:28:58.:28:59.

without playoff football, something they tackle without

:29:00.:29:01.

their injured quarterback Derek Carr.

:29:02.:29:02.

The Raiders went into this game relying not

:29:03.:29:05.

their back-up quarterback, he got injured too,

:29:06.:29:06.

but their third string rookie, Connor

:29:07.:29:08.

The Oakland Raiders, raised on tales of their golden age, reliving them,

:29:09.:29:26.

until this. Cook now pitched into the playoffs, the quarterback for

:29:27.:29:33.

the Houston Texans, out of sorts in the regular-season but Super Bowl

:29:34.:29:38.

winner as recently as last season, Super Bowl 50 as back-up to Peyton

:29:39.:29:43.

Manning with the Denver Broncos, and Super Bowl LI will be played in the

:29:44.:29:47.

home of his new team, here in Houston. COMMENTATOR: Abe terrific

:29:48.:30:01.

duo, Whitney Mercilus and Jadeveon Clowney. He threw it up for grabs

:30:02.:30:07.

and it is fielded by J Davey and Glennie, who is tackled by Murray at

:30:08.:30:12.

the 9-yard line. Flags are flown at the end of the play. This man is

:30:13.:30:16.

showing why he was number pick. Unbelievable catch and work by

:30:17.:30:25.

Jadeveon Clowney. He sets at the Huston Texans. He's in his third

:30:26.:30:31.

year that he says it is really his rookie year because injuries

:30:32.:30:35.

derailed his first two seasons. Many said he was a bust as the overall

:30:36.:30:40.

pick out of South Carolina in 2014. You don't hear anyone making that

:30:41.:30:44.

statement any more. Can they punch it in from the fourth? Miller trying

:30:45.:30:47.

to get outside, touchdown, Huston. You have the number one defense in

:30:48.:31:00.

the NFL, you can go a long way. Reverse, go over the top and Lamar

:31:01.:31:06.

Miller goes the other way. Great field position for Oakland. Murray

:31:07.:31:14.

breaks the tackle and here's chopped out of bounds by the safety at the

:31:15.:31:22.

20. Bad tackling hurting Houston. Jackson at right guard. Allowing the

:31:23.:31:29.

fullback into the game and Maria has a touchdown. This is why they won 12

:31:30.:31:36.

games. MARK CHAPMAN: Nick Novak kicked over to extend the lead for a

:31:37.:31:41.

Houston to six points in the second quarter. They want to get the ball

:31:42.:31:45.

back from the rookie quarterback Connor Cook. Here they come with a

:31:46.:31:54.

lot of disguises. Watch Rodney Hudson trying to solve this mystery.

:31:55.:32:03.

Back-up safety on the field. Lots of time. Running out of time. Off the

:32:04.:32:10.

hands of that player. Who is rushing and dropping? He read Connor Cook

:32:11.:32:18.

like a book. Texans in Oakland territory for the fifth time in

:32:19.:32:25.

seven possessions. Brock Osweiller. Hopkins with the grab in the 5-yard

:32:26.:32:34.

line. That is a great throw to Hopkins. Unbelievable separation at

:32:35.:32:39.

the end of the road. That was thrown perfectly. Hopkins, and man they

:32:40.:32:44.

have isolated several times will get a look if it is one coverage.

:32:45.:32:52.

Another great throw by Brock Osweiller. Hopkins targeted

:32:53.:32:56.

regularly and that connection is clicking for a Houston. That is what

:32:57.:33:03.

it is supposed to look like. 3rd down is short, great time to take a

:33:04.:33:09.

shot, this is a predictable man to man situation. Cooper at the top.

:33:10.:33:16.

Hopkins at the bottom. Connor Cook, look out, Mercilus has him. No one

:33:17.:33:24.

talks about Mercilus but they will, he has been a wrecking machine. We

:33:25.:33:30.

are going to take a shot. Cook has no chance. ?255. Trying to run to

:33:31.:33:43.

the corner. Brock Osweiller trying to run to the end zone. Touchdown,

:33:44.:33:53.

Houston. Great goal. Bill O'Brien, a predictable situation. Brock

:33:54.:33:57.

Osweiller has the option to throw it or run it. He has played mistake

:33:58.:34:02.

free football and he has the Texans on the brink of the second round. He

:34:03.:34:09.

said there is the perception that sometimes the officials let them

:34:10.:34:13.

play, do not throw the flag, they have been instructed not to do that.

:34:14.:34:19.

There is a touchdown to homes, out there because Crabtree is not an

:34:20.:34:24.

Holmes was the star on the touchdown drive, they are within a couple of

:34:25.:34:32.

touchdowns. Almost not fair for Connor Cook, first career start and

:34:33.:34:37.

he has to go up against the number one defense led by Romeo Quinnell.

:34:38.:34:46.

Down by 13 with under five minutes to go. Connor Cook has time and it

:34:47.:34:54.

is intercepted he runs it back, it was intended for Cooper. It is

:34:55.:35:03.

man-to-man coverage and Cup Kirk had Cooper and that should be the final

:35:04.:35:12.

dagger. Bill O'Brien suffered. Much different turn of events today.

:35:13.:35:17.

Oakland season entered the disappointed -- disappointment. It

:35:18.:35:25.

is huge. I think it made up for last year a little bit. The fans are

:35:26.:35:29.

unbelievable. We have the best fans in the NFL, it is loud, they stand

:35:30.:35:33.

for the whole game, they are into it, the whole game, they create a

:35:34.:35:39.

very electric atmosphere and I think our players feed off that. It was a

:35:40.:35:43.

fun environment for our players. So Houston end Oakland's

:35:44.:35:45.

Super Bowl dream, but next up in the AFC it's

:35:46.:35:47.

Miami at Pittsburgh. The Dolphins beat the Steelers

:35:48.:35:50.

in Miami during the regular season, but for the two-time

:35:51.:35:52.

Super Bowl winners, they leave the warmth of

:35:53.:35:54.

Miami for the minus 10 Home of the most successful Super

:35:55.:35:56.

Bowl team in NFL history with six Lombardi trophies to their name,

:35:57.:36:00.

Ben Roethlisberg's Steelers are currently

:36:01.:36:02.

on a 7-game win streak and Miami's form was as cold as the

:36:03.:36:21.

Pennsylvanian winter. Heated by Jay Ajayi, they turned the season around

:36:22.:36:26.

and can dream of the sun filled days of Dan Marino and earlier times,

:36:27.:36:33.

even more glory, of back-to-back Super Bowls. Pittsburgh stand on

:36:34.:36:36.

their way. The Steelers have the richest history in the NFL and they

:36:37.:36:42.

are on form right now, Pittsburgh, cold city, hot team. So, new set of

:36:43.:36:57.

downs in midfield. He goes right down the sideline. 50 yards and a

:36:58.:37:07.

touchdown! His first postseason touchdown, Antonio Brown, Jesse

:37:08.:37:15.

James on the outside, Hamilton, they make the play. They get the blocks

:37:16.:37:20.

and that was a smart start from the Pittsburgh Steelers. 2nd 7 and

:37:21.:37:32.

what a catch by Antonio Brown. He is taken off for a second touchdown in

:37:33.:37:38.

the first eight minutes. Just a simple concept, get rid of the

:37:39.:37:43.

football quickly. What happens is, here is the safety, he misses the

:37:44.:37:48.

tackle. This is the first time I have seen a man to man coverage.

:37:49.:37:56.

Antonio Brown, across the fields. Rambo takes a bad angle. MARK

:37:57.:38:02.

CHAPMAN: On the following possession, Franks made a field goal

:38:03.:38:10.

to put Miami on the board. Another big game and he takes off in the 20,

:38:11.:38:16.

keeps his balance and he is in for a touchdown. The runner's elbow was

:38:17.:38:31.

down. 1st down and go, Pittsburgh. Weights and goes. And he did not

:38:32.:38:40.

cross, a game it was Alonso. The hesitation by Bell. He might want to

:38:41.:38:48.

throw out a challenge. He should. He has got the flag in his hands. You

:38:49.:38:53.

would think he would win this. The flag has come out, the challenge is

:38:54.:38:59.

out. Possession of the ball over the goal-line, it is a touchdown. And

:39:00.:39:07.

nine. Gets away, here comes Harrison chasing. Oh my goodness, I do not

:39:08.:39:15.

know how Moore will get up. That was Bud Dupre who got to him on the

:39:16.:39:22.

first quarter. The flag is out and he was walloped as hard as you will

:39:23.:39:26.

see it. The Dolphins are coming after 21-macro. -- Bud Dupree. There

:39:27.:39:48.

is the penalty on Jay Ajayi. MARK CHAPMAN: Moore would miss one play

:39:49.:39:53.

and return to the game. Miami is settled for this to chip away at the

:39:54.:40:00.

Steelers lead. First in goal with 27 seconds. These are the time-outs

:40:01.:40:07.

they need. Here is Harrison, the ball came out and it is recovered.

:40:08.:40:12.

Should have been picked up. Should have been picked up, Albert, the

:40:13.:40:17.

double team. He is not so soft in his old age. He did not have to

:40:18.:40:23.

worry. All he is is a linebacker, he stood outside a little wider and

:40:24.:40:29.

they paid no attention, they double down against the defensive line.

:40:30.:40:33.

Albert saw it too late to reach out and get him. Dangerfield comes in

:40:34.:40:44.

for Pittsburgh. Ball comes out. The Steelers all around it. Mike

:40:45.:40:49.

Mitchell looked to have forced it, the fumble, and it is a recovery for

:40:50.:40:55.

the Steelers. Mike Mitchell comes off the left side. It is up to the

:40:56.:40:59.

quarterback to see a safety blitz. MARK CHAPMAN: On the following

:41:00.:41:04.

possession, Boswell hit a field goal extending the lead for the Steelers

:41:05.:41:11.

to 17 points. Today they have been sharp. One of five starters who was

:41:12.:41:15.

out for that game who is now starting. Bud Dupree was still an

:41:16.:41:23.

IR. First and then throw. Intercepted. Brings him down.

:41:24.:41:32.

Consecutive take aways. Three straight possessions for the

:41:33.:41:41.

Pittsburgh defense. Jumping right over the top. That will give the

:41:42.:41:51.

Steelers a 1st down. 5-yard penalty. 1st down. That is unbelievable. It

:41:52.:41:58.

is the Dolphins, you talk about what has happened today, the blitzes. He

:41:59.:42:08.

goes right over Greg Warren. He picks a center and right guard. They

:42:09.:42:16.

all played well. 3rd 5. He has got the postseason record and he has got

:42:17.:42:20.

Ian Sloan and he did it with a tremendous move. Sideways up the

:42:21.:42:25.

field for the touchdown. Rolling out, finds his target.

:42:26.:42:38.

Finally gets a touchdown. Damian Williams. 30 to 12, Pittsburgh

:42:39.:42:43.

victory. Very good performance by the Steelers. This is man versus

:42:44.:42:51.

himself. We are trying to do what is required to win. We are not trying

:42:52.:42:56.

to settle vendettas. They beat us fair and square. Today it was today.

:42:57.:43:04.

It was going to be the same going forward. What happened during the

:43:05.:43:08.

regular season is of little importance, what is important issue

:43:09.:43:12.

do enough to get out of the stadiums in advance and that is what we were

:43:13.:43:16.

able to do today. Houston's reward for their win is a trip to New

:43:17.:43:22.

England on Saturday. Pittsburgh head to Kansas City on Sunday. Seattle

:43:23.:43:27.

had to Atlanta on Sunday and Green Bay go to Dallas on Sunday. Let's

:43:28.:43:34.

deal with Houston and Oakland first of all, was it a mismatch. Back with

:43:35.:43:39.

his first start against the number one defense and commentary. No

:43:40.:43:43.

question. Connor Cook did not know what he was up against. On paper, it

:43:44.:43:56.

was a complete mismatch. Clowney and Mercilus showed him no mercy. They

:43:57.:44:03.

line him up everywhere, Mercilus. We talk about this defense, it is a

:44:04.:44:12.

defense without JJ what. Because they have been without for the whole

:44:13.:44:17.

season, it is not brought up as much as Raiders losing Derek Carr. That

:44:18.:44:23.

was early in the season. I think it allowed Clowney to step up. Can you

:44:24.:44:29.

imagine this defense with him? Can you imagine where they would be

:44:30.:44:36.

ranked. . JJ Watt is the best player. You bring in players like

:44:37.:44:41.

Mercilus, you have a recipe for disaster. We have been told that

:44:42.:44:52.

levy on Bell is unique. Explain that to us. It is his patience -- Le'veon

:44:53.:45:02.

Bell. What he does, he sits there and he reads the blocks and what

:45:03.:45:07.

makes them effective, his first two steps getting through the hole. He

:45:08.:45:12.

can see the block develop and hit it because he is so explosive. He

:45:13.:45:17.

waits. You have to have outstanding vision. A lot of running backs have

:45:18.:45:21.

the skill and the speed, but he has vision, he is able to see things

:45:22.:45:26.

that other running backs cannot see and that is why he is so patient.

:45:27.:45:33.

Andy Reid thinks he is unusual, but in your experience, how often have

:45:34.:45:37.

you seen that? If only seen it in practice in the Dallas Cowboys. He

:45:38.:45:47.

had that great offensive line and he would let it develop and he would

:45:48.:45:50.

explode through the hole. I've never played against a guy like that.

:45:51.:45:56.

I have never seen a guy played the football like that, he's a dynamic

:45:57.:46:06.

football player. I just want to show the hit on Matt Moore. I surprised

:46:07.:46:13.

that he came back on after this? Totally although they never

:46:14.:46:16.

questioned his toughness, they said this all week when he was getting

:46:17.:46:20.

ready to play and I think he just knew, I have to get up because

:46:21.:46:27.

there's left after me. It is dangerous, though, that, and the NFL

:46:28.:46:31.

will look at whether he should have come back on, which you can

:46:32.:46:38.

understand. That looks vicious, anyone see that, you will think,

:46:39.:46:42.

there is no way a guy can stand up from such a vicious shot. If he is

:46:43.:46:48.

still cognitive and able to function he can go back into the game. I want

:46:49.:46:59.

one of the four games that people should watch. Dallas and Green Bay,

:47:00.:47:03.

this could be the game of the year, it will be tough. I assumed that he

:47:04.:47:10.

will say the same? It will be a good game but I'm looking forward to

:47:11.:47:13.

Seattle versus the Atlanta Falcons, great defense against a great

:47:14.:47:18.

offense, I can't wait. In an arena you know very well. The Georgia

:47:19.:47:26.

Dome, the fans are going to be like, that's a southern word, was that

:47:27.:47:30.

English word you taught us the other day, he said, this is not a word, I

:47:31.:47:32.

forget! We ended that on a high! Don't forget the NFL Show this
