:00:10. > :00:21.It will be time for these two teams to settle it. Touchdown! Looking
:00:22. > :00:31.downfield. I'm believable! How did he do that?
:00:32. > :00:40.Unstoppable. One game stands between our
:00:41. > :00:43.four remaining Super It's the AFC and NFC championship
:00:44. > :01:03.weekend where we find out It is not the all in winner takes it
:01:04. > :01:09.all but it is a lot. This weekend is one for your resume. A title for
:01:10. > :01:18.your honour. Of such finals, the names and careers are made. Two
:01:19. > :01:34.finals. There, Legends are made. This is it but not yet quite it.
:01:35. > :01:43.Two Super Bowl heavyweights will face each other to decide who will
:01:44. > :01:56.go into Super Bowl 50 one. A battle of two offensive powerhouses.
:01:57. > :02:01.Last week he possessed rigorous self control.
:02:02. > :02:03.It was a performance for the ages.
:02:04. > :02:05.We're talking the Zen-like Aaron Rodgers and the faultless
:02:06. > :02:07.job he and the Green Bay Packers did in dismantling
:02:08. > :02:10.Super Bowl favourites, the Dallas Cowboys.
:02:11. > :02:13.Atlanta have done a good job dismantling teams this season.
:02:14. > :02:17.With an exciting young core led by MVP
:02:18. > :02:20.candidate Matt Ryan, the Falcons continue to strike the
:02:21. > :02:24.fear of God into defensive co-ordinators across the NFL.
:02:25. > :02:28.What a game to close out 25 years at the Georgia Dome.
:02:29. > :02:30.It's the Packers at the Falcons for a
:02:31. > :02:46.The NSC 's side of the NFL, one of the venerable names in the game, the
:02:47. > :02:51.Green Bay Packers. Warmly held in America boss Max affections because
:02:52. > :02:58.of what they say about the American winter. The Packers, with history,
:02:59. > :03:03.with Aaron Rodgers, but also with travelling to do. This time to the
:03:04. > :03:11.Georgia Dome, weighed down south. This is about being hot on offense,
:03:12. > :03:15.the hot arm of Matt Ryan. If they win the NFC title there will be no
:03:16. > :03:19.need to demolish the Georgia Dome. It will melt in the sheer delight of
:03:20. > :03:31.going to the superb role they have never won. -- the Super Bowl they
:03:32. > :03:38.have never won. Now third and 11th. Ryan, hangs in the pocket. He knows
:03:39. > :03:47.how to play second fiddle. Now he does it for Jones here in Atlanta.
:03:48. > :03:48.Already four first downs for the Falcons. Left for the fullback,
:03:49. > :04:08.DiMarco. 3rd down and goal. Ryan. Flushed
:04:09. > :04:14.out. Touchdown, Atlanta. The Green Bay Packers are in zone coverage.
:04:15. > :04:23.You will see Matt Ryan, when he gets flushed, into the pocket. Sinew
:04:24. > :04:31.comes underneath. A nice cat on that one to score the touchdown. Atlanta
:04:32. > :04:38.get the opening kick-off. Now we will see if Aaron Rodgers and
:04:39. > :04:45.company can match. 2nd 6. Time for Aaron Rodgers. Welcome back Geordie
:04:46. > :04:57.Knaus and inside the 45. Broken ribs and all. See how he Bears up when he
:04:58. > :05:06.takes a fall on those ribs. -- Geordie now seven.
:05:07. > :05:15.That pass to Nelson again. Spun down at the 29-yard line. Do you think
:05:16. > :05:19.the Atlanta Falcons really believe there was even a chance that Nelson
:05:20. > :05:31.was going to play in this game? I do not know what they thought I did not
:05:32. > :05:41.think he would. Aaron Rodgers gets rid of it. Jones, the rookie middle
:05:42. > :05:48.linebacker gets through. After 28 post-season field goals, Crosby
:05:49. > :05:58.missed this one. The 7-0 lead intact. 2nd 13, he fires. 1st
:05:59. > :06:05.down, Atlanta. Right now, a big 3rd down for the Packers team. Heard
:06:06. > :06:18.down and seven. Ryan fires wide open. -- 3rd down. Left all alone,
:06:19. > :06:31.Austin Hooper picks up steam. He is trying to slow down the Falcons. No
:06:32. > :06:39.answer for Sanu. On the 2nd 10. Caught by Coleman. He scooped out of
:06:40. > :06:47.bounds. That field goal gave Atlanta a 10-0 lead going into the second
:06:48. > :06:54.quarter. This is their 26th and final in this Dome. The Packers to
:06:55. > :07:04.start the second quarter. Rose and has a man on the 1st down. --
:07:05. > :07:09.throws. That was a catch and a run for 17. When these two teams met the
:07:10. > :07:19.last time, the Packers exploited them. Out to his right, deadly
:07:20. > :07:23.outside the pocket. Throws back across the field. The numbers that
:07:24. > :07:36.Aaron Rodgers is putting up outside the pocket are mind-boggling. His
:07:37. > :07:48.Rakowski, right up there. The covered by Atlanta. -- recovered by
:07:49. > :08:03.Atlanta. That is one thing the Packers have been able to avoid. He
:08:04. > :08:16.rips it out. Passes to Jones, he gets his feet down. The Falcons are
:08:17. > :08:20.inside field goal range. All alone. A full head of steam inside the 15th
:08:21. > :08:33.of the receivers are running free and clear. He brings a five-man
:08:34. > :08:40.rash. Easy releases. Given protection, he is picking the
:08:41. > :08:46.defense apart. 2nd down and Ryan. A touchdown!
:08:47. > :08:55.Usually, when you see a run like this, it is because the defense is
:08:56. > :09:00.in the coverage. Joe Thomas, right there at linebacker. He has his eyes
:09:01. > :09:06.on the quarterback. He is unable to make the play. About the making this
:09:07. > :09:19.look easy this afternoon. Just got it away. Just got him on the foot.
:09:20. > :09:23.Now though you worry about the fact that if the Packers do not pick it
:09:24. > :09:27.up, we aren't talking about them being able to climb back into this
:09:28. > :09:32.game and get the ball at the start of the second half. All three of the
:09:33. > :09:41.time-outs and a lot of time on the clock. Four men on the pass rush.
:09:42. > :09:52.Rodgers out to the right. Nelson isn't there. Ricardo Allen is. He is
:09:53. > :10:02.going to be down at the 31. They basically run the play. This time
:10:03. > :10:07.Rodgers to the right. Rodgers does what he should do and just takes the
:10:08. > :10:16.shot. No chance whatsoever. Ricardo Allen is playing the middle. As soon
:10:17. > :10:27.as that ball was thrown, that was essentially a punt. 2nd 10. Ryan
:10:28. > :10:32.gets away. The ball is up for grabs. And incomplete. When Evans was down,
:10:33. > :10:38.that ball was up there for about half an hour. Nobody comes down with
:10:39. > :10:44.it. Robinson was the closest Falcon to it. That typifies what happens
:10:45. > :10:50.with the Falcons defense. The Falcons offense, they simply do not
:10:51. > :10:59.turn the ball. The Packers 3rd down and ten. Court for a 1st down. What
:11:00. > :11:07.a throw and what a catch! Ryan completed passes to eight different
:11:08. > :11:22.receivers. Devonta Freeman springs inside the 15. 2nd 1 lips. Ryan
:11:23. > :11:27.throws. End zone. Seven seconds remain on 3rd down and one. Another
:11:28. > :11:34.missed opportunity for Green Bay. That was not going to be an easy
:11:35. > :11:39.catch. He plays it pretty well. He comes underneath. Not able to make a
:11:40. > :11:44.play on it. It would have been a nice cat. No time-outs remaining for
:11:45. > :11:53.Atlanta. This effort will go into the end zone. They are all up on the
:11:54. > :12:01.line for Green Bay. End of son, Jones. Touchdown! -- end zone. What
:12:02. > :12:08.to wear their right foot comes down. It taps in and then slides to the
:12:09. > :12:22.boundary. It is a catch and a touchdown. 3rd down and ten. The
:12:23. > :12:29.pass is dropped. Three and out starts the second half for Green
:12:30. > :12:37.Bay. Balconies pick it up. There is Jones. The flag is down. Jones with
:12:38. > :12:44.the catch. Still going. Still inbounds. Touchdown, Atlanta. It
:12:45. > :13:00.looks like that is where the flag came from. Defense on 36. He went
:13:01. > :13:06.for the play. Houllier Jones, he missed two games in December. This
:13:07. > :13:13.one good from 73 yards out. Twice he walked the tightrope. Took him into
:13:14. > :13:28.the end zone. These fans had fun here today. Rodgers, here is Cook.
:13:29. > :13:34.He slides for the 1st down and ten. That pass to Adams for the
:13:35. > :13:41.touchdown. The first points are the hardest to get. The Packers finally
:13:42. > :13:50.get on the board. Ryan throws. Middle of the field. Wow! What a
:13:51. > :14:00.catch! Unbelievable ground by Houllier Jones. He can play any
:14:01. > :14:06.game. -- Julio Jones. He is a big guy and as tough as they come. For
:14:07. > :14:17.him to be able to hang onto that all, that is something right there.
:14:18. > :14:24.3rd down and to. End zone. Flag on the coverage as the ball comes up.
:14:25. > :14:38.The flag was thrown when the two bodies hit the turf. The ball placed
:14:39. > :14:44.on the 1-yard line. He got turned and he is trying to make a play. He
:14:45. > :14:46.was trying to locate the ball. There is some contact. I do not like the
:14:47. > :15:04.call. Ryan passes. Caught by Freeman. Morgan Burnett
:15:05. > :15:12.was there. 4th down just outside the goal line. A strong catch by
:15:13. > :15:17.Freeman. Matt Ryan wants to challenge this goal. Is there a
:15:18. > :15:24.definitive look down that line? This is the challenge. The ruling on the
:15:25. > :15:31.field. The receiver was short of the goal-line. The call is 4th down on
:15:32. > :15:34.the field. After reviewing the play, receiver had possession of the ball
:15:35. > :15:45.over the goal-line. It is a touchdown.
:15:46. > :15:50.Takes it himself and slide with the 1st down and flag for the hit.
:15:51. > :16:16.Unnecessary roughness. Defense 23. Cook. Good throw by Aaron Rodgers.
:16:17. > :16:21.It was caught by Nelson for the touchdown. You can see Jordy Nelson
:16:22. > :16:27.wincing in pain as the game has gone along but he is out there playing,
:16:28. > :16:37.it shows how tough he is. One player back, that is Hardy. Taken by Sanu.
:16:38. > :16:45.He gets tripped up at the 28. Evans just got enough of Sanu. Court,
:16:46. > :17:07.Julio Jones. Touchdown. How about that guy
:17:08. > :17:11.lurking up the tunnel? He gets a high-5 from Tevin Coleman. He
:17:12. > :17:20.carries it in for another Falcons touchdown.
:17:21. > :17:28.Trying to run it in himself. It can't get there. It is 4th down.
:17:29. > :17:33.Robert Alford was there to stop it. The flag was down. We will see what
:17:34. > :17:39.happens with Rodgers at the end of the play. Gets his hand up to the
:17:40. > :17:47.facemask of Robert Alford and rips the helmet off his head. Offense
:17:48. > :18:09.number 12. 15-yard penalty. The flag and the call will be
:18:10. > :18:17.against Robert Alford. Passes, court for the touchdown, Cook. That is it.
:18:18. > :18:23.The Atlanta Falcons, NFC champions onto Super Bowl 50 one. Atlanta took
:18:24. > :18:28.the second ever conference titled to bring down the curtain on the
:18:29. > :18:33.Georgia Dome. A moment to savour for Falcons fans and for the coach
:18:34. > :18:39.Darren Quinn. When I walked out, I felt the incentive -- intensity of
:18:40. > :18:43.the crowd and thought it was awesome. It is not till the end you
:18:44. > :18:50.let yourself have those moments to go to a different spot. The coach
:18:51. > :18:55.planned, make sure we follow the process. We never disrespect any
:18:56. > :19:02.team. We call every week a championship week. They are the
:19:03. > :19:09.same. And then we are used to it. We worked hard to get to this point. We
:19:10. > :19:17.will enjoy it. It is hard to get to this point, I know from experience.
:19:18. > :19:22.We ran into a buzzsaw. They perform great and we did not have enough to
:19:23. > :19:25.keep up with them. It is uncharacteristic of our team. In a
:19:26. > :19:30.game like this it comes down to details. If you are not on, it will
:19:31. > :19:36.be tough to win against a tough offense. We felt confident we could
:19:37. > :19:50.score with anybody and we needed to do that today. We did not get that
:19:51. > :19:56.done. Darren Quinn -- Dan. They talked about the intensity of the
:19:57. > :20:01.fans. Sometimes you need that as a player, to field the energy and
:20:02. > :20:05.emotion from the fans. The Atlanta Falcons played like that. A
:20:06. > :20:09.remarkable dominance. You did not think that would happen. You deal
:20:10. > :20:16.the teams would score points but you did not know it would be one-sided.
:20:17. > :20:22.Let's talk about their offense. Matt Ryan favourite for MVP but he hit
:20:23. > :20:26.eight different receivers against Green Bay and if you look at the
:20:27. > :20:32.bottom of the screen, we will name each one he hits in this. His
:20:33. > :20:37.options, as we have discussed, are phenomenal. This is the dynamic
:20:38. > :20:42.thing about Atlanta. We know about Matt Ryan and Julio Jones but if you
:20:43. > :20:47.take away Jones, this guy has a plethora of weapons and will defeat
:20:48. > :20:52.you that way. The offense, it dictates him the freedom to do that
:20:53. > :20:57.and spread the ball around. He and Kyle Shanahan are on the same page
:20:58. > :21:02.and things are ticking. How much credit as Kyle Shanahan deserve for
:21:03. > :21:06.devising this? A tonne of credit. You have to be able to note each
:21:07. > :21:12.player individually and their skills and then call a play that allows
:21:13. > :21:18.that to take advantage of the defense. These players are on
:21:19. > :21:22.selfish. I have a friend, he was not catching as many footballs and
:21:23. > :21:28.started complaining. What happened? Out of there. They want guys on the
:21:29. > :21:33.team on selfish, and unselfish attitude. In your experience, and
:21:34. > :21:41.this is not a criticism of receivers, because it is about them,
:21:42. > :21:47.and they are the showman, how unusual is it to find a group of
:21:48. > :21:52.unselfish players? It is. When you have a receiver that is a superstar,
:21:53. > :21:56.he wants the ball and to be the focal point but because of his
:21:57. > :22:01.personality, and he knew he had a bigger purpose, that is why he gives
:22:02. > :22:07.up. Julio Jones is the number one. Take us through some of his plays.
:22:08. > :22:12.Partly from a defensive point of view. One thing about this guy, he
:22:13. > :22:19.is big, strong, fast and when you try to take something away he does
:22:20. > :22:23.he just adjusts. His feet here. It is hard for tall guys to get their
:22:24. > :22:31.feet down that quick. He can do it all. This is amazing. This is scary.
:22:32. > :22:36.When he gets in open fields, most guys go down, receivers, you can
:22:37. > :22:43.tackle him. He is like a running back in open field. Another coming
:22:44. > :22:49.up. I think it is this one. I immediately want to turn away
:22:50. > :22:55.because it makes me wince. It is important to watch, for his bravery.
:22:56. > :23:00.Similar to Rodgers last week. Despite knowing he will land on his
:23:01. > :23:05.head, he keeps hold of the ball. The toughness he displayed on play,
:23:06. > :23:09.knowing he went up their high. Caught the football and landed and
:23:10. > :23:14.still held on knowing he had no real protection. Incredible by Jones,
:23:15. > :23:20.showing how much the game meant to him. He could have dropped the
:23:21. > :23:23.football, we are ahead. No, he held onto the ball, a tremendous
:23:24. > :23:29.professional. You are more comfortable talking about defense
:23:30. > :23:33.than offense. You want to give the praise to defense. For the weapons
:23:34. > :23:40.Atlanta have, their defense need praise for how they shut down a man
:23:41. > :23:45.in Aaron Rodgers in formidable form. They did that in a variety of ways.
:23:46. > :23:51.It was not the pressure from the front four. They have exotic
:23:52. > :23:56.schemes. It was like he had not seen them before. When it was time to
:23:57. > :24:02.stop the run, they shut down the receivers and did an outstanding job
:24:03. > :24:09.of defense. Your analysis has praised Green Bay's O line and they
:24:10. > :24:13.dismantle that. That is what Osi was saying. They did not let Aaron
:24:14. > :24:17.Rodgers sit back, they attacked him and they knew they had confidence in
:24:18. > :24:22.the young secondary to hold up. We talk about the toughness of Julio
:24:23. > :24:27.Jones and players, how much credit do you give Jordy Nelson for play
:24:28. > :24:34.through this with broken ribs. He was wearing a Kevlar vest. It is
:24:35. > :24:37.like he has a brick. It looks like my stomach after Christmas!
:24:38. > :24:42.LAUGHTER. It looks like my stomach all of the
:24:43. > :24:46.time. He played with that and was still on in the fourth quarter.
:24:47. > :24:56.Aaron Rodgers was emotional about Nelson after the game. I am so proud
:24:57. > :25:08.of him. I mean, it is incredible he was out there. HE SNIFFS.. Why are
:25:09. > :25:16.you laughing? I am laughing at what he has on. Look at the outfit.
:25:17. > :25:23.People play in pain all the time. How many times have you been 100%?
:25:24. > :25:32.Out there on the field? Very rarely. For him to get emotional about a
:25:33. > :25:37.guy. Give me a break. If I know you are banged up and you go out and
:25:38. > :25:40.play, it is emotional, I know what you put out on the field because I
:25:41. > :25:46.know how hurt you are. Every player does that, especially right now, is
:25:47. > :25:52.playing with an injury. I will not diminish what Jordy Nelson did, it
:25:53. > :25:58.was outstanding. If he is crying, he should cry about the outfit he has
:25:59. > :25:58.on. You just keep muttering, I will continue.
:25:59. > :26:01.A quick reminder that we're back this Saturday with the
:26:02. > :26:03.We'll have an alternative take on this
:26:04. > :26:05.weekend's action and an appearance from Chris
:26:06. > :26:08.Eubank Jr, who showed these two what it takes to be a
:26:09. > :26:12.If you miss the show on Saturday evening, you can also
:26:13. > :26:15.The build-up to our next game has been comical, to say
:26:16. > :26:18.Following Pittsburgh's win at Kansas City,
:26:19. > :26:22.head coach Mike Tomlin rallied his troops.
:26:23. > :26:24.Stick together, say very little, he told his squad.
:26:25. > :26:26.Only star wide receiver Antonio Brown clearly didn't get the
:26:27. > :26:29.Live streaming from the Steelers locker room,
:26:30. > :26:32.every man and his dog got to hear Tomlin's dislike for
:26:33. > :26:34.their AFC Championship opponents, the New England
:26:35. > :26:38.One person not trawling social platforms was New
:26:39. > :26:41.England head coach Bill Belichick - a man who barely
:26:42. > :26:43.gives journalists a quote, never mind a 17-minute locker
:26:44. > :26:48.Asked earlier this week his thoughts on
:26:49. > :26:51.the Brown video, the old school Belichick confirmed he
:26:52. > :26:53.wasn't Mr Current Affairs when it comes to social
:26:54. > :26:57."I don't do SnapFace or Instant Chat," he told
:26:58. > :27:01.Who needs social media to big this one up?
:27:02. > :27:04.An incredible 16 Super Bowl appearances and ten wins
:27:05. > :27:08.between them, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New
:27:09. > :27:19.England Patriots need no further introduction.
:27:20. > :27:29.These are the alpha males of the AFC. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the
:27:30. > :27:32.New England Patriots. Whichever of these two goes to the Super Bowl
:27:33. > :27:40.will set a new record for most appearances there. Two Super Bowl
:27:41. > :27:43.winning coaches, Mike Tomlin the youngest in 2009, against a
:27:44. > :27:50.legendary Bill Belichick. A final with pedigree and class acts.
:27:51. > :27:54.Roethlisberger. And with a little bit of mischief. Thoughts from the
:27:55. > :27:58.inner sanctum going viral and falling on deaf ears. Can coach
:27:59. > :28:04.Belichick be so remote from modern life? Is Foxboro so forgiving? Mike,
:28:05. > :28:26.Bill, Ben, Tom. Time to get it on. Alt of the gun to start it. Brady.
:28:27. > :28:33.He fires it in. It is caught by Bennett for a gain of 12. They did
:28:34. > :28:40.something and usual. They wind the coin toss, they take the football.
:28:41. > :28:51.They play son and throw a lot of short passes. They had great
:28:52. > :28:56.success. -- zone. He is into Pittsburgh territory. Keeping his
:28:57. > :29:02.balance. He is thrown down by Mitchell. Going across the field.
:29:03. > :29:10.All they talk about, he must tackle as the receiver catches the ball. He
:29:11. > :29:15.is the best in the NFL. That went for 41. I am not surprised at all.
:29:16. > :29:24.Why do they do it? They have this in mind. They go from sideline to
:29:25. > :29:33.sideline. They are playing zone. A lot of open space. Scooped up will
:29:34. > :29:43.stop off the ground. Of the hands of Malcolm Mitchell. After that drop,
:29:44. > :29:55.this 31 yard field goal for the Patriots to open the scoring. He
:29:56. > :30:05.said it. He is the key. 3rd 1. A deep ball. Sammy Coates. Mike Tomlin
:30:06. > :30:15.thought he would have a chance to play a big role in this game
:30:16. > :30:24.tonight. My macro 3rd 11. That performance against Houston. Brady
:30:25. > :30:34.in trouble. He is taken down by Hargrave, the rookie. Trying to
:30:35. > :30:40.convert another erred down. 3rd 6. Roethlisberger, up top. Almost
:30:41. > :30:51.intercepted. He jumped in front of Antonio Brown. Jordan, Jordan. Now,
:30:52. > :31:00.Brady comes out of that. Spits everybody out. What did he see? He
:31:01. > :31:11.saw and opportunity. Down to about 30. Big plays. Chris Hogan is going
:31:12. > :31:13.to go right up the slot. Zone defense. That shoulder between the
:31:14. > :31:30.linebacker and the safety. Hogan with three captures the last
:31:31. > :31:46.few plays. He is a little slow to get up. 3rd 5. Terms of time. A
:31:47. > :31:51.touchdown who England. Chris Hogan just goes uncovered into the end
:31:52. > :31:59.zone. Nobody sees him. We watched the Patriots on Friday is. It took
:32:00. > :32:03.six and seven seconds to throw the football. The three-man rush, just
:32:04. > :32:12.waiting for someone to get hold of it. They know they have got the
:32:13. > :32:26.emotion on their side. Bell comes back in. He gives it to him. Lines
:32:27. > :32:37.nothing. Bill Belichick was telling us how well it is operating. Watch
:32:38. > :32:40.97 again. Everyone is holding the offensive line. Not moving. Not
:32:41. > :32:57.creating a whole to get through. 3rd creating a whole to get through. 3rd
:32:58. > :33:03.10. He is going to snap it. Eli Rogers. You saw Bell talking to the
:33:04. > :33:09.team doctor. That is not a good sign. 18 yards on the ground for
:33:10. > :33:17.Bell. No catches for Brown as we start the second quarter. To
:33:18. > :33:24.Williams. Down to the 37. I was watching Le'Veon Bell speak with
:33:25. > :33:29.Doctor Bradley. They were doing nothing to the ankle. They were just
:33:30. > :33:34.talking to him. As I am watching him right now he is moving around that
:33:35. > :33:37.left ankle. That seems to be what is bothering him. He looks that he is
:33:38. > :33:49.ready to get back in there, given the chance. Williams trying to pick
:33:50. > :33:59.it up. He does. They say, touchdown. 3rd 8. James White flanking Brady.
:34:00. > :34:11.He is a threat on the backfield with the passing game. He is making his
:34:12. > :34:17.sixth catch. Down to the Pittsburgh 34. Chris Hogan once again sitting
:34:18. > :34:23.outside, uncovered. You cannot chase the across the field and leave a
:34:24. > :34:33.receiver uncovered. That is his third conversion. The flea-flicker.
:34:34. > :34:40.A touchdown. Right back to Hogan again. Hogan has the go across. Dion
:34:41. > :34:45.Lewis takes it into the line of scrimmage and four he throws it
:34:46. > :34:50.back. Tom Brady puts it right on the money. What a good time to call that
:34:51. > :34:56.play! It has a little bit of everything in it. No question.
:34:57. > :35:04.Houston last week did not have a player the 20 yards the entire game.
:35:05. > :35:14.For the Steelers, they -- the longest play is 63 yards. That set
:35:15. > :35:19.up a touchdown drive. Says it wide open. Butler is tangled up from out
:35:20. > :35:26.of bounds. This is what they have done. Bell perhaps finished for the
:35:27. > :35:30.night with a groin injury. He is running back. When DeAngelo Williams
:35:31. > :35:35.was called upon earlier in the year, he did a good job. 3rd 8 ball
:35:36. > :35:51.rests with the Patriots. Here is Roethlisberger. That is a
:35:52. > :35:58.touchdown! What a play by Jesse James. Jesse James took it in like
:35:59. > :36:06.he was going across the field and brought back to the outside. This
:36:07. > :36:11.may not be a touchdown. It is short. The runner was down by contact,
:36:12. > :36:20.short of the goal-line. 1st goal for Pittsburgh.
:36:21. > :36:29.They are backing up. Two straight plays. Valentine, the rookie from
:36:30. > :36:34.Nebraska. This time they were a bit away and 1st down at that point. The
:36:35. > :36:45.Patriots did use their third time out. They are out of time outs.
:36:46. > :36:57.Wide of the mark. He was right there with him. Pittsburgh had to settle
:36:58. > :37:09.for a Chris Boswell field goal which took the Patriots lead to eight
:37:10. > :37:16.points heading into half-time. That is one of the best you'll ever see
:37:17. > :37:23.on a sneak. That was a 3rd 1 kick by Brady, who is 95% on his career,
:37:24. > :37:33.even a little higher. No one is over the center. Officials say it stays
:37:34. > :37:41.with New England. Tom has already thrown the challenge flag.
:37:42. > :37:49.Definitely a fumble. Did they see it on film? It stands. 1st down. He is
:37:50. > :37:55.charged for his first time out. He did not come up before Brady was
:37:56. > :38:06.down. 1st down for the Patriots. Back to Hogan. 3rd 10.
:38:07. > :38:17.On the sideline, both feet down. He only got one in. On the next break,
:38:18. > :38:30.was Kautsky broke. Extending the New England lead to 11. Roethlisberger
:38:31. > :38:37.for 2nd 11. Wide of the mark. There is Brown. 3rd 7.
:38:38. > :38:58.Incomplete. That was James. He has seen enough of those. John all over
:38:59. > :39:07.him. That was good coverage. The fallback out of Brown has another
:39:08. > :39:17.1st down. It is a second and 13th. Years ago it was 21, 22 passes out
:39:18. > :39:22.of 23 plays. Mitchel finally ends it. Another big play for New
:39:23. > :39:31.England. Hogan coming across the field. He had so much space. An easy
:39:32. > :39:41.completion. Looked like it was man to man coverage. He has 180 yards.
:39:42. > :39:46.Into the secondary. Now driving. Keep going. Can you believe this?
:39:47. > :39:56.They finally stopped it at the one macro. My goodness! Took more than
:39:57. > :40:04.half the team with him. How many players are on him at the end? Five,
:40:05. > :40:09.six, seven. The other guys came around and helped him on the
:40:10. > :40:15.offensive line. Again for the touchdown. They set it off. The
:40:16. > :40:20.Steelers said they were going to come out and play with passion and
:40:21. > :40:24.be physical. But the team with the passion of being physical tonight in
:40:25. > :40:34.winning the battle is the New England Patriots. The ball comes
:40:35. > :40:48.out. Was that a clean catch? It was recovered I New England. It was
:40:49. > :40:55.stripped out of Rogers hands. That is the speed and how they change the
:40:56. > :41:01.defense with the linebackers. He reacts quickly. How they tackle!
:41:02. > :41:08.They don't miss tackles. This will be a catch and a fumble. Seven and
:41:09. > :41:24.11. Look at him fight through that.
:41:25. > :41:35.Yards after the catch. 175 for the Patriots.
:41:36. > :41:52.Finding Edelman. Patriots touchdown. Watch out number 11. He goes across,
:41:53. > :41:56.stops and comes back. The number of plays, the formations, the concepts,
:41:57. > :42:01.what to do on the offensive side, it is overwhelming for most defenses
:42:02. > :42:02.and overwhelming for the Steelers tonight. Big time moment for the
:42:03. > :42:29.Steelers. Sidetracked in the first quarter.
:42:30. > :42:30.Bell went out. Had a snap and came off the field. Has been unstoppable
:42:31. > :42:45.to get to this point. That is intercepted. What an
:42:46. > :42:54.interception. Tiptoes down the sideline. The Patriots defense comes
:42:55. > :42:59.up with another takeaway. The receiver running down the scene, I
:43:00. > :43:11.do not think he sees, looks, thinks the ball is coming his way. Not even
:43:12. > :43:16.looking. It might be the easiest interception he will ever have.
:43:17. > :43:24.Roethlisberger has played a solid game. Nothing else he could do with
:43:25. > :43:29.that interception. The fumble was the first lost fumble by the
:43:30. > :43:35.Steelers in their last six games. They had only lost it once in their
:43:36. > :43:43.first team game scratch. On the following possession, another
:43:44. > :43:47.goal to make it 36-9 to the Patriots.
:43:48. > :43:57.Most wins all-time in the postseason. Belichick is on his way
:43:58. > :44:18.to number seven. Roethlisberger, got a man open and
:44:19. > :44:24.it is court for the touchdown. Hamilton. Good play, beautiful throw
:44:25. > :44:30.by Roethlisberger down the sideline. Eli Rogers goes in the middle.
:44:31. > :44:35.Drools the safety. That was enough. Roethlisberger through to the back
:44:36. > :44:40.corner for the touchdown. It will take a great game by Atlanta to beat
:44:41. > :44:45.this team. I am happy we are one of the teams left standing. It is nice
:44:46. > :44:52.to achieve that. It is hard to win 16 games in this league. You have to
:44:53. > :44:57.give a lot of credit to the players and the job they have done week
:44:58. > :45:13.after week. After champions Denver kicked off the season we have our
:45:14. > :45:16.two Super Bowl teams. When Tom Brady were suspended at the
:45:17. > :45:23.start of the season you made the point you can take someone out of
:45:24. > :45:28.the defense and they will pluck someone in and they will do the job.
:45:29. > :45:32.That is what they do. That is what Belichick does. Hogan had been cut
:45:33. > :45:38.from numerous teams. Plug-in in in this game. Two touchdowns. An
:45:39. > :45:45.incredible game. This is what Bill Belichick does. Being in the
:45:46. > :45:49.practice squad of the 49ers, Giants, Dolphins, Buffalo, as well. That is
:45:50. > :45:54.where they got a glimpse of what he can do and they plumped him into
:45:55. > :46:01.spaces that Gronkowski was in and used in there, which is what Osi was
:46:02. > :46:10.saying. They find guys to put there and it works out. This guy is good.
:46:11. > :46:15.It is not just Belichick. Hogan was part of the starting offense that
:46:16. > :46:21.had only one first round pick and the rest, either fourth round,
:46:22. > :46:24.fifth, seventh round, I'm drafted, which highlights the remarkable
:46:25. > :46:29.coaching staff. It shows guys like me who come into the bottom of the
:46:30. > :46:34.league and play a long time, they find them. And those guys produce.
:46:35. > :46:44.You would have played longer! Is it redemption for Tom Brady after being
:46:45. > :46:51.suspended and delfate-gate? I'm not sure because it seems every year
:46:52. > :46:56.there is something said about the New England Patriots. There is
:46:57. > :47:03.always something whether it is deflate chrome gate. I do not know
:47:04. > :47:09.whether it gave them extra motivation, it is what they do all
:47:10. > :47:14.the time. I do not know what is going on in the locker room. When he
:47:15. > :47:23.had gone early this year, guys got behind the quarterback. For someone
:47:24. > :47:29.is experienced as him, he still finds motivation. He is like, hey,
:47:30. > :47:35.nobody gave me a chance, which is his driving factor and he has to
:47:36. > :47:37.find something to Burma flame. -- burn that flame.
:47:38. > :47:39.Don't forget the NFL Show this Saturday, at 11.55pm
:47:40. > :47:50.on BBC One, for a full preview of Super Bowl LI.
:47:51. > :47:52.Starting on Saturday February 4th with a full Super
:47:53. > :47:56.Making it to a Super Bowl is what players, fans
:47:57. > :48:01.For Detroit, Jacksonville, Houston and Cleveland, the dream
:48:02. > :48:04.of going to their first Super Bowl will have
:48:05. > :48:08.However, for Cleveland fans, there is something to shout about in
:48:09. > :48:10.No less than five former Browns will be
:48:11. > :48:12.representing Atlanta and New England on
:48:13. > :48:33.The winners have taken their titles. Champions who have achieved a lot.
:48:34. > :48:38.Now the alphabet soup of NFC and AFC merge into one, one champion of the
:48:39. > :48:46.NFL to find. The winner will take it all. It feels they will do it in
:48:47. > :48:49.just about all of America with a TV audience of over 100 million across
:48:50. > :48:53.the United States. There is nothing quite like it. Super Bowl LI in
:48:54. > :48:59.Houston, Texas. Only in the NFL.
