It will be time for these

two teams to settle it

0:00:060:00:08

between the white lines.

0:00:080:00:09

He's going to fire it

towards the end zone.

0:00:090:00:12

Crossing off the nearside field.

0:00:120:00:13

Looking downfield.

0:00:130:00:14

Going deep.

0:00:140:00:24

A one-man wrecking crew.

0:00:240:00:26

Unbelievable!

0:00:260:00:27

How did he do that?

0:00:270:00:28

The endzone.

0:00:280:00:29

Caught.

0:00:290:00:30

Unstoppable!

0:00:300:00:34

Hello, welcome to The NFL Show.

0:00:340:00:35

Sometimes it is hard to know how

to motivate your team.

0:00:350:00:42

Bury it!

0:00:420:00:43

They can't handle you!

0:00:430:00:44

They can't handle you!

0:00:440:00:45

They can't handle you!

0:00:450:00:47

They can't handle you!

0:00:470:00:48

They can't handle you.

0:00:480:00:49

Let's go!

0:00:490:00:54

One, two, three!

0:00:540:00:56

Here goes.

0:00:560:00:57

They can't handle you!

0:00:570:00:59

They can't handle you!

0:00:590:01:01

What are you doing?

0:01:010:01:02

I'm motivating you.

0:01:020:01:04

I've be watching the Vikings,

I've been motivating you.

0:01:040:01:06

That was an assault.

0:01:060:01:08

It was a gentle tap.

0:01:080:01:10

Done with affection.

0:01:100:01:14

Coming up on tonight's show,

we will be bringing you Thursday's

0:01:140:01:19

highlights between two AFC division

toppers, the Tennessee

0:01:190:01:21

Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

0:01:210:01:22

We will talk game management

and the technical artistry

0:01:220:01:25

of a game-winning drive.

0:01:250:01:26

We'll look ahead to this

weekend's week 11 fixtures.

0:01:260:01:28

You are making me nervous, you two.

0:01:280:01:29

And we'll bring you all the biggest

stories from last week's games.

0:01:290:01:33

Who did I say they

are going to beat?

0:01:350:01:37

CHANTING.

0:01:370:01:47

Oh!

0:01:480:01:50

How about the A.

0:01:500:01:51

Hey!

0:01:510:01:53

HE SNIFFS.

0:01:530:01:53

That definitely weren't me.

0:01:530:01:55

Smells like onions and ketchup.

0:01:550:01:57

No, mine is vegan, baby.

0:01:570:01:58

Plant-based.

0:01:580:02:02

Well, I'm joined once again

by the fully motivated

0:02:020:02:05

Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiora.

0:02:050:02:07

We'll draw a line over

the opening, and we'll move on.

0:02:070:02:11

Right, we're going to show you,

to start with, a celebration

0:02:110:02:14

from the 49ers' locker room.

0:02:140:02:15

Because, when they beat the Giants,

that's their first win

0:02:150:02:17

of the whole season.

0:02:170:02:19

I mean, that is great

to see, isn't it?

0:02:190:02:22

That's amazing.

0:02:220:02:28

I've been in locker rooms like

that's where you get that one win.

0:02:280:02:31

And you feel like that.

0:02:310:02:32

Come on, man?

0:02:320:02:33

They beat the Giants.

0:02:330:02:35

That's their first win.

0:02:350:02:36

They're celebrating like they just

won the championship.

0:02:360:02:38

The championship?

0:02:380:02:38

I mean, come on.

0:02:380:02:40

That's setting the bar

low right there, that's

0:02:400:02:42

setting a real low bar.

0:02:420:02:47

If you celebrate after

you win your first game,

0:02:470:02:49

I mean, how are you going

to celebrate when you

0:02:490:02:52

actually do win something?

0:02:520:02:53

But that's a relief,

that's what it is.

0:02:530:02:54

Yeah?

0:02:540:02:55

I can understand that.

0:02:550:02:57

I like to see that.

0:02:570:02:58

Yeah, I'm all about it, man.

0:02:580:02:59

When I was in Houston,

we beat Dallas first game

0:02:590:03:02

of the year, it was like that.

0:03:020:03:03

Let me guess, you only

celebrated like that

0:03:030:03:05

after you won the Super Bowl?

0:03:050:03:07

That...

0:03:070:03:08

But I think I'm a little bit more

upset because they're celebrating

0:03:080:03:11

like that after beating the Giants.

0:03:110:03:12

We've got to move on.

0:03:120:03:13

We're going to review one of the big

games from last weekend now.

0:03:130:03:16

The NFC's Dallas Cowboys against

the NFC South Atlanta Falcons.

0:03:160:03:19

Both teams have been fighting

for form a little bit.

0:03:190:03:21

Both in danger of losing sight

of their division leaders.

0:03:210:03:24

And the big news going into this

game was that the Dallas star

0:03:240:03:27

running back Zeke Elliott would now

start his six-game suspension

0:03:270:03:29

after months of court order delays.

0:03:290:03:31

So, he wasn't available

for the Cowboys.

0:03:310:03:34

And, whilst he wasn't missed,

there were other problems

0:03:340:03:36

for the Cowboys as well.

0:03:360:03:37

Other injuries that

affected them in this game.

0:03:370:03:39

First of all, the left tackle

time on Smith, right?

0:03:390:03:42

You realise how important

he was in this game.

0:03:420:03:44

And also, no one is

talking about Sean Lee.

0:03:440:03:46

When Sean Lee got hurt on defense,

that defense really fell apart.

0:03:460:03:50

And they don't win games

when he's not in the line-up.

0:03:500:03:54

Dallas's defense, because the O line

was weakened, spent a lot

0:03:540:03:57

of time on the field.

0:03:570:03:58

And they were weakened, as Jason

says, by a couple of injuries, too.

0:03:580:04:01

So, they were just shattered

going into the third fourth quarter

0:04:010:04:04

against this Atlanta offence.

0:04:040:04:06

Yes, they were.

0:04:060:04:07

Atlanta Falcons just

continued to pound them,

0:04:070:04:08

and they wore them down.

0:04:080:04:10

That's their formula.

0:04:100:04:14

The formula is run the ball,

you know, control the time

0:04:140:04:17

and possession, and keep that

defense well rested.

0:04:170:04:19

And that didn't happen

and they were exposed because of it.

0:04:190:04:21

As you can see, going

into the second quarter,

0:04:210:04:24

the Cowboys actually had the seven

and three Lee.

0:04:240:04:26

Prescott found Bryce Butler who made

that falling catch for 30 yards.

0:04:260:04:28

Clayborn sacks Prescott again.

0:04:280:04:31

And then it was from around this

time that the Falcons started to put

0:04:310:04:35

long drives together,

to tire out the Cowboys.

0:04:350:04:38

Coleman there going in for

a one-yard touchdown

0:04:380:04:40

to make it 10-7 to Atlanta.

0:04:400:04:42

Yeah, and that's what's happens.

0:04:420:04:44

When you're on the field a bunch,

you get tired, you get exposed.

0:04:440:04:47

And also I was watching the game,

you saw with Sean Lee out of it,

0:04:470:04:50

it seemed like they just

weren't communicating well.

0:04:500:04:52

And that middle linebacker position,

that's an important role to kind

0:04:520:04:55

of get guys lined up and everybody

to be on the same page.

0:04:550:04:55

Especially in the defense

that they run over there.

0:04:570:04:59

He's crucial to the

success of their team.

0:04:590:05:01

Him going off, he's the one

who ties everything,

0:05:010:05:03

both the run and the pass together.

0:05:030:05:05

Him being off the football field had

a really bad effect on them.

0:05:050:05:08

Some people might only

see our Saturday show

0:05:080:05:10

as their experience of the NFL.

0:05:100:05:11

They'll go, hang on a minute,

you know, it is a 40-second play.

0:05:110:05:15

And then you get to rest for a bit.

0:05:150:05:17

And then there's another.

0:05:170:05:18

But the interesting thing that

you've shown is the mental

0:05:180:05:20

concentration that's needed

when you are on the defense,

0:05:200:05:22

too, to look at eyes,

to try and spot a decoy, etc.

0:05:220:05:25

So you're really talking

mental fatigue rather

0:05:250:05:27

than physical fatigue.

0:05:270:05:27

Absolutely.

0:05:290:05:31

And remember, all you have to do

is make one mistake,

0:05:310:05:33

and that can be a touchdown.

0:05:330:05:37

So, you could be focused in on nine

plays out of a ten-play drive,

0:05:370:05:40

and then lose your cool.

0:05:400:05:41

And there you go,

you've got a touchdown.

0:05:410:05:43

We saw Justin Hardy's touchdown.

0:05:430:05:45

Now, that made it 17-7 to Atlanta.

0:05:450:05:47

Matt Ryan here finding

Taylor Gabriel for a 34-yard catch

0:05:470:05:49

and run towards the end

of the third quarter.

0:05:490:05:51

And then into the fourth

quarter, Atlanta's offence

0:05:510:05:53

continued to motor.

0:05:530:05:58

Austin Hooper took them down

to the one-yard line there.

0:05:580:06:00

And we will see Ryan find Hooper

again for another one-yard

0:06:000:06:03

touchdown, to make it 24-7 Atlanta.

0:06:030:06:06

And the thing with Atlanta,

and we've talked about it all season

0:06:060:06:09

as well, is they do have

so many weapons.

0:06:090:06:11

And yet they haven't

really clicked that often.

0:06:110:06:13

Yes, they have not.

0:06:130:06:14

Yes, they have not.

0:06:140:06:16

I think when you're talking

about the Atlanta Falcons,

0:06:160:06:18

then people want to talk discuss

the Super Bowl from last year.

0:06:180:06:21

But I think, more importantly

than that, they're just not

0:06:210:06:23

finding their rhythm.

0:06:230:06:24

There are not in sync

with each other yet because,

0:06:240:06:27

as the season wears on,

a good team with that

0:06:270:06:29

amount of talent, I think

there are going to figure it out

0:06:290:06:32

more than anybody else.

0:06:320:06:33

Remember, last year, we were talking

about they started slow.

0:06:330:06:35

They clicked and kind of started

working at this point

0:06:350:06:38

of the season last year.

0:06:380:06:39

So, maybe that's just

the kind of team they are.

0:06:390:06:41

We'll see if they turn the corner.

0:06:410:06:43

Clayborn sacked Prescott

for the sixth time there,

0:06:430:06:45

to seal the game for Atlanta

who moved to five and four.

0:06:450:06:50

I said we spoke a lot about it

on Tuesday night, but it is a heck

0:06:500:06:54

of an achievement, isn't it?

0:06:540:06:55

Six sacks in a game?

0:06:550:06:56

Incredible.

0:06:560:06:57

Everything has to line up perfectly

for you in order to accomplish that.

0:06:570:07:00

Last time anybody gets

to the quarterback,

0:07:000:07:02

but they're not sacked,

because maybe the DBs didn't

0:07:020:07:04

cover, the quarterback

threw the ball quick.

0:07:040:07:06

In order for you to get at their six

times, the quarterback

0:07:060:07:09

has to hold the ball,

the DBs have to cover

0:07:090:07:11

to give you enough time

to get to the quarterback.

0:07:110:07:15

Everything has to line up,

it's a complete team effort.

0:07:150:07:17

For Dallas, some of their

fixtures coming up.

0:07:170:07:19

Philadelphia, the Chargers

who are a little bit hit

0:07:190:07:21

and miss, obviously.

0:07:210:07:22

Washington, the Giants

which are divisional games,

0:07:220:07:24

so that ratchets up the atmosphere

and pressure a little bit, no matter

0:07:240:07:27

how badly some teams are doing.

0:07:270:07:29

And then they've got

the Raiders as well.

0:07:290:07:31

And all of that without Elliott.

0:07:310:07:33

Dallas Cowboys are in big trouble.

0:07:330:07:35

Judging by how they play,

they are in big trouble.

0:07:350:07:37

That is a murderous row of games,

a murderous row of teams they have

0:07:370:07:40

to go there and face.

0:07:400:07:42

Teams that are also fighting

for their playoff lives.

0:07:420:07:44

So, every game is

going to be a battle.

0:07:440:07:46

If they don't bring their A-game,

they might lose all of those games.

0:07:460:07:49

And, by the time they get

to Zeke back, it's Seahawks

0:07:490:07:52

and the Eagles again.

0:07:520:07:53

They've still got those two

divisional games against the Eagles.

0:07:530:07:55

If you're going to put a positive

spin on it, you would go,

0:07:550:07:58

that still means we can catch them.

0:07:580:08:00

Right.

0:08:000:08:01

But damage is done by then.

0:08:010:08:03

If they go through that rwo,

and they don't win any games,

0:08:030:08:06

I mean, nothing is going

to help them.

0:08:060:08:08

OK.

0:08:080:08:09

That's a very bleak

way to end that chat.

0:08:090:08:11

Here's a round-up of

what else in week ten.

0:08:110:08:15

Hey, every season is full

of defining moments.

0:08:150:08:16

Let's make this day

a defining moment for us.

0:08:160:08:21

The New Orleans Saints

at the Buffalo Bills.

0:08:210:08:23

Take your time,

they say, never rush.

0:08:230:08:25

But this rushing game was special.

0:08:250:08:27

COMMENTATOR: And he's

in for the score.

0:08:270:08:29

Let's go.

0:08:290:08:30

Seven and two, the Saints leading

the way in the NFC South.

0:08:300:08:35

The Minnesota Vikings

at the Washington Redskins.

0:08:350:08:38

Is this the catch of

the year by Maurice Harris?

0:08:380:08:45

The Vikings unperturbed.

0:08:450:08:47

Working their combinations.

0:08:470:08:50

We just started.

0:08:500:08:52

You want another one?

0:08:520:08:53

The Vikings, top of the NFC North.

0:08:530:08:55

The New York Giants

at the San Francisco 49ers,

0:08:550:08:59

Giants of history, locked tight

in the basement.

0:08:590:09:03

The 49ers at last with a victory.

0:09:030:09:08

The New England Patriots

at the Denver Broncos.

0:09:080:09:11

Tom Brady still in charge.

0:09:110:09:15

The Patriots, contenders yet again.

0:09:150:09:18

COMMENTATOR: Touchdown, Patriots.

0:09:180:09:23

How to reignite a season

when you've lost Allan Rodgers.

0:09:230:09:27

Don't throw.

0:09:270:09:28

Give it to Ty Montgomery.

0:09:280:09:29

Then again, why not throw it?

0:09:290:09:33

The Packers rekindled,

the Bears still struggling.

0:09:330:09:36

The Miami Dolphins at

the Carolina Panthers.

0:09:360:09:38

The Panthers soon pouring it on.

0:09:380:09:40

Their rushing game.

0:09:400:09:41

The passing game.

0:09:410:09:44

And still only second in the NFC

South, the hot division.

0:09:440:09:51

The Houston Texans at the LA Rams.

0:09:510:09:55

COMMENTATOR: He swings it out.

0:09:550:09:56

Robert Woods, 20.

0:09:560:09:57

Inside.

0:09:570:09:58

Spins and falls.

0:09:580:09:59

Touchdown.

0:09:590:10:00

A big third quarter for the Rams.

0:10:000:10:02

Two for Robert Woods.

0:10:020:10:03

The Rams staying ahead

of the Seahawks in the NFC West.

0:10:030:10:07

HE COUGHS.

0:10:070:10:11

My throat!

0:10:110:10:13

My throat!

0:10:130:10:14

Don't forget, you can catch extended

highlights and analysis

0:10:140:10:16

on our Tuesday show.

0:10:160:10:17

That's NFL this week.

0:10:170:10:18

And you can find that

on the iPlayer right now.

0:10:180:10:21

This show is also on the iPlayer

once we are off air.

0:10:210:10:24

Right now, we're going to get

into a couple of stories

0:10:240:10:26

surrounding last week's games.

0:10:260:10:27

We're going to start

with a really sad one, actually,

0:10:270:10:30

and that is Marquis Goodwin

of the 49ers who scored this

0:10:300:10:32

touchdown against the Giants

on Sunday, only hours

0:10:320:10:34

after he and his partner

lost their unborn son due

0:10:340:10:37

to pregnancy complications.

0:10:370:10:46

Our hearts and thoughts go out

to him and his partner.

0:10:460:10:50

Now, you may have noticed

in the review, the absence

0:10:500:10:57

of the Jacksonville Jaguars

against the LA Chargers,

0:10:570:10:59

and this was for very good reason.

0:10:590:11:01

Because there's no way to simply sum

up the frankly odd end to this game.

0:11:010:11:04

But we are going to try over

the next couple of minutes.

0:11:040:11:07

The Jags were down by three

in the fourth quarter,

0:11:070:11:10

and there were two minutes to go.

0:11:100:11:11

Blake Bortels pass was tipped, and

it was intercepted by Trey Boston.

0:11:110:11:16

Come on, Blake.

0:11:160:11:18

OK.

0:11:180:11:19

So, that's what the Jags

fans thought of that.

0:11:190:11:22

Next play, Chargers'

rookie Austin Ekeler

0:11:220:11:24

fumbles the ball, right?

0:11:240:11:28

Now, Tashaun Gibson recovers it,

and he runs this in for what is then

0:11:290:11:32

thought to be the go-ahead score.

0:11:320:11:34

This is a touchdown,

it would take Jacksonville

0:11:340:11:36

up to 20 if they kick

the extra point, 21-17.

0:11:360:11:39

However, they then look

at the replays here

0:11:390:11:40

and they apparently...

0:11:400:11:48

I still don't think

it is conclusive, show

0:11:480:11:51

he was touchdown by contact

when he recovered the ball.

0:11:510:11:53

So...

0:11:530:11:54

By whom?

0:11:540:11:56

Exactly.

0:11:560:11:59

By his own guy?

0:11:590:12:01

Who knows.

0:12:010:12:03

That meant The Jags had to start

on the 36-yard line.

0:12:030:12:06

Four plays later, it's third and 25.

0:12:060:12:07

And Blake Bortels throws another

pick to Trey Boston.

0:12:070:12:10

Oh, man, that was ugly.

0:12:100:12:11

Yes.

0:12:110:12:12

That was bad.

0:12:120:12:14

Stick with me on this.

0:12:140:12:15

LA ran the clock down

as much as they could.

0:12:150:12:18

They gave the ball

back to Jacksonville

0:12:180:12:19

with a minute remaining.

0:12:190:12:20

Bortels found Jayden Mickens and it

put The Jags in field goal range.

0:12:200:12:24

Josh Lambeau kicks the game time

in field goal, and that

0:12:240:12:26

sends it into overtime.

0:12:260:12:28

Like it.

0:12:280:12:30

The Chargers have the ball.

0:12:300:12:32

Philip Rivers then does that.

0:12:320:12:37

Ooh, that's nice.

0:12:370:12:40

He throws the interception

to AJ Boyer.

0:12:400:12:42

He's nice.

0:12:420:12:44

Is he your friend?

0:12:440:12:45

No.

0:12:450:12:47

I like him though.

0:12:470:12:48

AJ Boyer's heading to the end

zone for the touchdown,

0:12:480:12:51

until he gets tackled by Philip

Rivers.

0:12:510:12:53

Stood over him.

0:12:530:12:57

Philip does that all the time.

0:12:570:13:00

Right.

0:13:000:13:01

OK.

0:13:010:13:02

It hit left The Jags

with that field goal.

0:13:020:13:04

It was partially blocked.

0:13:040:13:05

But it just squeaked over.

0:13:050:13:07

And just to round everything

up, Lambeau used to be

0:13:070:13:09

the Chargers's kicker.

0:13:090:13:10

They cut him and it takes

The Jags to six and three.

0:13:100:13:13

It was a crazy end.

0:13:130:13:16

Is it serendipity?

0:13:160:13:18

When something comes...

0:13:180:13:18

Yes.

0:13:180:13:20

I've been here for a while.

0:13:200:13:23

I don't think that's

just an English word.

0:13:230:13:25

It was a big win for The Jags.

0:13:250:13:27

Oh, huge.

0:13:270:13:32

Oh, huge.

0:13:320:13:33

When you're a young team,

those tight games like that,

0:13:330:13:36

highly contested games,

it kind of gives you an attitude

0:13:360:13:38

that changes who you are as a team.

0:13:380:13:40

But what that highlights

as well is what a lot

0:13:400:13:43

of people have said all year,

which is The Jags could

0:13:430:13:46

go a very long way.

0:13:460:13:48

But there is a doubt

over Blake Bortles.

0:13:480:13:50

Can they go a long way

with Blake Bortles.

0:13:500:13:52

They can go a long way with that

defense and that running game,

0:13:520:13:55

even though Fournette didn't

play his best game the last

0:13:550:13:58

game that they played.

0:13:580:13:59

But with Blake Bortles,

some of the things you see him do,

0:13:590:14:02

you can't make mistakes like that,

especially in those

0:14:020:14:04

crucial situations.

0:14:040:14:05

He's shown a propensity to do this

over and over again.

0:14:050:14:09

Can't do it in the postseason

because you won't win,

0:14:090:14:11

teams are too good.

0:14:110:14:13

The main thing I liked is he was not

playing well but they picked it

0:14:130:14:17

up on special teams.

0:14:170:14:18

You've got to win two

of the phases and they're always

0:14:180:14:21

going to play good defense.

0:14:210:14:22

So, the team knows

they got to pick it up.

0:14:220:14:24

If you were in the Jacksonville

defense and were back in the locker

0:14:240:14:27

room after that game,

what would you say to Blake Bortles?

0:14:270:14:30

Nothing.

0:14:300:14:31

We won the game.

0:14:310:14:32

I'm not going to say

anything to him.

0:14:320:14:34

But in a situation like that,

even if we would have lost,

0:14:340:14:37

I wouldn't have said

anything to him.

0:14:370:14:38

Who would say something to him?

0:14:380:14:40

The coach has to say

something to him.

0:14:400:14:42

Because we all make mistakes.

0:14:420:14:43

We all have bad games.

0:14:430:14:44

He seems to do it on a much,

a more regular basis.

0:14:440:14:47

But it's not something I'd be like,

hey, Blake, you can't.

0:14:470:14:50

No.

0:14:500:14:51

You don't what nobody

doing that to you.

0:14:510:14:53

Exactly.

0:14:530:14:54

They could win the Super Bowl

with that defense.

0:14:540:14:56

But they can't it with Blake

Bortles, is that what you're saying?

0:14:560:14:59

I...

0:14:590:15:00

They showed a lot of holes,

even offensively, to scare me.

0:15:000:15:03

Defensively, yes.

0:15:030:15:05

That defense could win the Super

Bowl but the offense couldn't?

0:15:050:15:08

That defense can't win a Super Bowl

with that offense, no.

0:15:080:15:10

OK.

0:15:100:15:12

Let's show you all the results...

0:15:120:15:14

I tried to catch you out

in many different ways

0:15:140:15:16

there and you didn't fall for it.

0:15:160:15:21

Here are all the results

from week ten.

0:15:210:15:23

Here are all the results

from week ten.

0:15:230:15:24

Big win for Seattle in that

Thursday night game.

0:15:240:15:26

22-16 against the Arizona Cardinals.

0:15:260:15:27

So, they are staying

in touch with the Rams.

0:15:270:15:29

Cleveland lost again,

Detroit beating them 38-24.

0:15:290:15:31

The Jets were beaten

by Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 15-10.

0:15:310:15:36

There was a big win for Tennessee

as well against Cincinnati, 24-20.

0:15:360:15:40

We'll show you a little bit more

of that in just a moment.

0:15:400:15:45

As far as the standings

are concerned, Patriots

0:15:450:15:47

and the Steelers were seven and two,

records in the East and the North.

0:15:470:15:51

Titans and The Jags,

looks like a head-to-head battle

0:15:510:15:53

between the two of them

in the South.

0:15:530:15:55

And the Chiefs, despite

being on a bye week,

0:15:550:15:58

still maintain a healthy lead

in the West.

0:15:580:16:01

The Eagles were also on a bye week,

8-1, best record in the NFL

0:16:010:16:04

at the moment in the East.

0:16:040:16:06

Vikings have a two-game

lead over the Lions

0:16:060:16:08

and the Packers in the North.

0:16:080:16:09

Fascinating battle in

the South between the Saints

0:16:090:16:11

and the Panthers and the Falcons.

0:16:110:16:14

It's a two-way fight in the West

between the Rams and the Seahawks.

0:16:140:16:18

But notice that important 1 in the W

column for the 49ers.

0:16:180:16:23

So, we're going to bring

you highlights of Thursday's game

0:16:230:16:25

between Tennessee and Pittsburg

brother in just a moment.

0:16:250:16:31

Before we do, we are going to look

back at Tennessee's win

0:16:310:16:34

against Cincinnati,

and how their quarterback

0:16:340:16:35

Marcus Mariota orchestrated

their game-winning drive.

0:16:350:16:37

Because they basically went from one

end of the field to the other,

0:16:370:16:40

to snuff out the Bengals

in this game.

0:16:400:16:43

They are three points down.

0:16:430:16:45

They have originally started

this drive with five

0:16:450:16:47

minutes left on the clock

on their own 27-yard line.

0:16:470:16:50

So, now, they've still

got three time-outs.

0:16:500:16:52

So, now, they've still

got three time-outs.

0:16:520:16:53

Just shy of three minutes left,

and they're are on the 50-yard line.

0:16:530:16:56

So, throughout this drive,

what are they trying to do?

0:16:560:17:03

First of all, they need to score,

that's the most important part.

0:17:030:17:06

Also they need to take a little

bit time off the clock.

0:17:060:17:09

Five minutes left, they have

plenty of time to score.

0:17:090:17:11

Even here, two minutes and 58

seconds, that is an eternity

0:17:110:17:14

for them to be able to get the ball

down the field.

0:17:140:17:17

What you want to do there is go down

the middle because it

0:17:170:17:20

keeps your man in play.

0:17:200:17:22

If you go out of bounds,

the clock stops.

0:17:220:17:24

If you stay in the middle,

the clock keeps going.

0:17:240:17:27

Because they have time-outs,

they are in control of that.

0:17:270:17:29

They've been running the ball

all game, so be linebackers suck up,

0:17:290:17:32

and that's where you throw the ball

back behind them.

0:17:320:17:34

The more you run it, the better.

0:17:340:17:36

We've moved it on to

that 30-yard line.

0:17:360:17:38

Still two minutes 22 on the clock,

and they've still got

0:17:380:17:40

their three time-outs.

0:17:400:17:42

Yeah.

0:17:420:17:42

That's still a bunch of time.

0:17:420:17:44

They still have the opportunity

to run the football down the field.

0:17:440:17:47

If this was a minute left,

there's no way they would run

0:17:470:17:50

the football right there.

0:17:500:17:51

But they still have plenty of time.

0:17:510:17:55

Also, not only do they

have their time-outs,

0:17:550:17:57

the two minute warning is also

an additional time-out.

0:17:570:17:59

So they actually

have four time-outs.

0:17:590:18:00

They can run the ball even more.

0:18:000:18:02

From a defensive point of view,

when you know the offense are trying

0:18:020:18:05

to run down the clock,

what can you do to try and delay it?

0:18:050:18:09

Very little.

0:18:090:18:10

You've just got to stop them.

0:18:100:18:11

The problem is, that defense has

been on the field all game.

0:18:110:18:14

They were on the field

for 40 minutes.

0:18:140:18:18

They're already worn out.

0:18:180:18:20

OK.

0:18:200:18:21

Now, we are at the 3rd & 5,

around the 25-yard line.

0:18:210:18:24

The thing is, they are within field

goal range here, so they know

0:18:240:18:27

if it was to all go wrong,

they'd get the three and they'd be

0:18:270:18:31

level with the Bengals.

0:18:310:18:32

It would still give them,

1.55 is an eternity, is it,

0:18:320:18:35

in the fourth quarter?

0:18:350:18:37

On top of that, the field goal

only gets them to a tie.

0:18:370:18:40

It doesn't make them win the game.

0:18:400:18:41

They have to go for the win here.

0:18:410:18:43

The have to go for the score.

0:18:430:18:45

You know I like this.

0:18:450:18:46

This is a great play.

0:18:460:18:47

Explain why.

0:18:470:18:49

It's because they needed

to get five yards.

0:18:490:18:51

The cornerback is sitting at five,

thinking they are going to throw

0:18:510:18:53

a short ball, and they got him

with a double move.

0:18:530:18:56

Caused a pass interference,

a new set of downs, now they can

0:18:560:18:59

go and try to score.

0:18:590:19:00

Even though they didn't

catch that ball, there

0:19:000:19:02

was a foul, penalty called.

0:19:020:19:03

That gives them

the next set of downs.

0:19:030:19:05

Exactly.

0:19:050:19:08

So, now, they've still got

a couple of time-outs.

0:19:080:19:10

We join them at 2nd & 2,

and the ball is on around

0:19:100:19:13

the 12 and 13-yard line.

0:19:130:19:14

This is where it helps

if your quarterback can run as well.

0:19:140:19:17

Absolutely, it gives you an option.

0:19:170:19:19

Because he knows, I can't

turn the ball over by

0:19:190:19:21

forcing a bad throw.

0:19:210:19:22

So, what does he do?

0:19:220:19:23

He takes off because he knows,

I've got to protect this ball

0:19:230:19:26

and at least get the field goal.

0:19:260:19:28

And stay in bounds?

0:19:280:19:29

Um, I think he was trying

to get to the end zone.

0:19:290:19:32

The guy just so happened

to bring him down.

0:19:320:19:34

Which leaves them with this.

0:19:340:19:36

And the game-winning touchdown.

0:19:360:19:38

Great call.

0:19:380:19:40

Get it to your guy

who can move the pile.

0:19:400:19:43

A physical guy who can

break tackles.

0:19:430:19:46

DiMarco Murray playing a good

game, getting the ball,

0:19:460:19:48

quick throw, great.

0:19:480:19:50

Just hold onto it and get

it over the goal line.

0:19:500:19:52

It was a great play.

0:19:520:19:55

Obviously, in a third-down

situation, if they did score in 4th

0:19:550:19:58

down, they have to kick

the field goal.

0:19:580:20:00

So they needed to score,

and DiMarco Murray was able to get

0:20:000:20:02

the ball across the line.

0:20:020:20:04

That's a great drive, isn't it?

0:20:040:20:07

We couldn't show everything

because we don't have time.

0:20:070:20:10

But what you can see with that,

I think, as a fan and maybe

0:20:100:20:13

as a new fan, it's a whole load

of chess moves.

0:20:130:20:15

It isn't simply getting

the ball from one end

0:20:150:20:18

of the field to the other

in the quickest possible time.

0:20:180:20:20

Time management.

0:20:200:20:21

This is where head coaches come

into play, how they are managing

0:20:210:20:24

the clock, the play calling.

0:20:240:20:26

It's all about winning.

0:20:260:20:26

How much is the quarterback aware

of the play clock there?

0:20:260:20:29

Or has he got so much

going on that he has

0:20:290:20:32

to rely on his head coach?

0:20:320:20:33

In that particular situation, it is

crucial he knows the play clock.

0:20:330:20:36

The play clock for him

is going to be right

0:20:360:20:38

there in the corner.

0:20:380:20:39

He had to be sitting over there,

looking, trying to run down

0:20:390:20:42

as much time as possible,

if they are trying to preserve

0:20:420:20:45

a lead, or if they are trying

to score and score multiple

0:20:450:20:48

touchdowns, then he has

to score more and more.

0:20:480:20:50

So, he's very aware

of what is going on.

0:20:500:20:52

They are clever lads, aren't they?

0:20:520:20:54

A little bit.

0:20:540:20:55

Yeah, of course.

0:20:550:20:56

It's not just about running

up and hitting people,

0:20:560:20:58

like some in the game!

0:20:580:20:59

Oh!

0:20:590:21:00

They are the clever ones.

0:21:000:21:01

He set us up!

0:21:010:21:02

Yes, I did.

0:21:020:21:03

To the Titans at the Steelers.

0:21:030:21:05

This was the Thursday night game.

0:21:050:21:06

In it, we had two teams

who were topping their divisions,

0:21:060:21:09

two teams who were enjoying

a four-game winning streak.

0:21:090:21:11

So, the big question was,

would Super Mariota be able

0:21:110:21:14

to match the super offense

of Big Ben Bell and Brown?

0:21:140:21:15

COMMENTATOR: The flag is down,

free play, takes the shot downfield.

0:21:200:21:25

Antonio Brown goes out and gets it.

0:21:250:21:26

Hard count works.

0:21:260:21:27

Touchdown, Steelers.

0:21:270:21:31

Antonio now on the outside,

just a straight take-off.

0:21:310:21:33

Ben knows he's got a free play,

so he's going to look off

0:21:330:21:36

the safety, got the safety to move,

and basically just

0:21:360:21:39

throw a jump ball.

0:21:390:21:42

Where is a blitz coming from?

0:21:420:21:44

There it is.

0:21:440:21:45

Onto his right, Mariota throws too

high, it is intercepted.

0:21:450:21:47

Through it right into

the hands of Mike Hilton.

0:21:470:21:49

And the Nickel man out

of bounds at the 25.

0:21:490:21:53

Big early mistake from

Mariota and the Titans.

0:21:530:21:55

Really, it was just

a complete overthrow.

0:21:550:21:57

There was no real

pressure to speak of.

0:21:570:21:59

The ball just got away from him.

0:21:590:22:02

3rd & goal, here is

Mariota, scrambling,

0:22:020:22:06

gets away, did he get in?

0:22:060:22:09

Touchdown.

0:22:090:22:14

Marcus Mariota.

0:22:140:22:15

That's exactly what they say

about Mariota, he doesn't understand

0:22:150:22:17

when he gets to the biggest moments,

why should anybody have the ball

0:22:170:22:20

in their hands but him?

0:22:200:22:22

More often than not,

he loves to run in these situations

0:22:220:22:23

Nine-point game.

0:22:280:22:31

Mariota, 1st down shot down

the middle of the field.

0:22:310:22:34

Open, no safety there,

Matthews at the 20.

0:22:340:22:36

Cuts back at the 15,

and Matthews goes.

0:22:360:22:39

Opening play touchdown

for the Titans.

0:22:390:22:42

75 yards, and it is a three-point

game just like that.

0:22:420:22:46

This is called quarters

coverage here.

0:22:460:22:48

You end up with this

receiver and this receiver

0:22:480:22:51

which locks up that safety,

which means the post

0:22:510:22:54

is strictly one on one,

on the outside, and just too much.

0:22:540:22:58

1st & goal for the five.

0:22:580:23:02

Antonio Brown, touchdown!

0:23:020:23:07

And the Steelers respond

to the Tennessee touchdown.

0:23:070:23:09

This is 3rd & goal to start

the fourth quarter.

0:23:120:23:15

Roethlisberger.

0:23:170:23:17

Fake.

0:23:170:23:19

Going to throw it.

0:23:190:23:20

And it's a touchdown

for Jesse James.

0:23:200:23:24

You have to really sell this,

to get these guys to buy it.

0:23:270:23:30

They totally did.

0:23:300:23:31

And you don't get many easier

touchdown passes than that.

0:23:310:23:35

Here tonight, Steelers have spent

a lot of time inside the red zone.

0:23:350:23:38

From the ten, Roethlisberger.

0:23:380:23:39

Throwing end zone.

0:23:390:23:42

Antonio Brown, spectacular catch!

0:23:420:23:43

Touchdown.

0:23:430:23:44

Wow.

0:23:440:23:48

And I do believe I saw my

first ever helmet catch.

0:23:480:23:51

Yes.

0:23:510:23:52

Is this a helmet catch, Mike?

0:23:520:23:55

Please tell me that

is a helmet catch.

0:23:550:23:56

Pittsburgh.

0:23:560:23:58

Going to get to eight and two.

0:23:580:24:01

So, that win for Pittsburgh moves

them to eight and two.

0:24:050:24:07

That makes them the top seed in

the AFC, until the Patriots display.

0:24:070:24:10

Obviously, because the Patriots

go into their next

0:24:100:24:12

fixture at seven and two.

0:24:120:24:14

Here are the remaining

fixtures for this week.

0:24:140:24:19

Let's just pick a few of them out

because there are some really

0:24:220:24:25

tasty games coming up.

0:24:250:24:26

Let us start, and lots of them

in the NFC as well where there

0:24:260:24:29

are some real powerhouses.

0:24:290:24:30

Rams at Minnesota Vikings.

0:24:300:24:32

Oh, game of the week!

0:24:320:24:33

Top offense, top defense.

0:24:330:24:34

You know who I'm going for.

0:24:340:24:35

The Vikings?

0:24:350:24:36

Of course.

0:24:360:24:39

Apart from the fact you're

friends with half of them!

0:24:390:24:42

And you know Mike Zimmer as well

who was your coach at Dallas.

0:24:420:24:45

Why else would you go for them?

0:24:450:24:46

Because their offense now has

the ability to score points.

0:24:510:24:53

Case Keenum is scoring points.

0:24:530:24:54

We knew the defense was going

to basically push them forward

0:24:540:24:57

but now they are scoring points

offensively with all these injuries?

0:24:570:25:00

Got to give them credit.

0:25:000:25:02

You know what?

0:25:020:25:03

I want to see how the Rams play?

0:25:030:25:05

Because they've beaten up on some

cupcakes, realistically.

0:25:050:25:07

Outside of the Dallas Cowboys,

and I think they played another team

0:25:070:25:10

earlier who they beat.

0:25:100:25:11

Outside of that, they've beaten

up on some cupcakes.

0:25:110:25:13

This is a legitimate team

that they are playing,

0:25:130:25:15

with the Minnesota Vikings.

0:25:150:25:17

I want to see if this

team is for real or not.

0:25:170:25:17

Actually, for a lot of the teams

in the NFC, the big,

0:25:210:25:24

the surprise big hitters,

they've got some fixtures coming up

0:25:240:25:26

where you go, right, now,

we'll see what you're made of.

0:25:260:25:28

at home to the Washington Redskins.

0:25:310:25:33

How do you see this one?

0:25:330:25:35

New Orleans.

0:25:350:25:36

At home, if you've ever played

New Orleans at home,

0:25:360:25:39

you know it's almost impossible

to go in there and beat them.

0:25:390:25:42

This is a team that's hot, on fire,

has everything clicking.

0:25:420:25:44

Offense, defense, special teams.

0:25:440:25:45

Why is it so hard to be

them in their own dome?

0:25:450:25:48

It's a mystery, man.

0:25:480:25:49

We used to call that place

the Bermuda Triangle.

0:25:490:25:51

Like, we would literally,

when I was with the Giants, we would

0:25:510:25:54

go there and just disappear.

0:25:540:25:55

Nobody would know

what happened to us!

0:25:550:25:57

We would lose about 40,

50 points, nobody knows.

0:25:590:26:01

They've got some New Orleans voodoo

thing going on over there.

0:26:010:26:04

An incredible place

to go there and play.

0:26:040:26:06

Really difficult to do go and win.

0:26:060:26:07

Oh, man.

0:26:070:26:10

I like that.

0:26:100:26:11

I like the idea of Drew Brees

sticking pins into a doll.

0:26:110:26:14

THEY LAUGH.

0:26:140:26:18

I mean, look.

0:26:180:26:19

Now that you don't have to have

Drew Brees win every game,

0:26:190:26:22

they are so dynamic

with their running game.

0:26:220:26:25

It's hard to beat those guys.

0:26:250:26:27

So, you'll go Saints as well?

0:26:270:26:29

Both of you go Saints.

0:26:290:26:30

Bermuda Triangle!

0:26:300:26:32

Another absolutely fascinating game.

0:26:320:26:34

Not only an NFC matchup,

but a divisional matchup as well.

0:26:360:26:38

The Philadelphia Eagles

and their amazing record,

0:26:380:26:41

going to Dallas to take

on the Cowboys.

0:26:410:26:45

Huge test for the Eagles, yes?

0:26:450:26:48

It would have been if Zeke

Elliott was playing.

0:26:480:26:50

And if they had their left tackle.

0:26:500:26:52

If the Cowboys don't

have their left tackle,

0:26:520:26:54

Tyrone Smith in this game

against Philly, they are going

0:26:540:26:56

to give up 15 sacks to whoever

the right defensive end is,

0:26:560:27:00

to give up 15 sacks to whoever

the right defensive end is,

0:27:000:27:01

because those defensive lineman

for Philly are boiling.

0:27:010:27:02

So, this is a big game

for the Philadelphia Eagles.

0:27:020:27:05

I think they're going to be able

to beat the Cowboys.

0:27:050:27:07

Yeah, once again, Sean Lee

is not in that line-up.

0:27:070:27:10

That defense can get exposed.

0:27:100:27:11

Obviously, they can't play well

without him in the line-up.

0:27:110:27:13

You are both going Eagles?

0:27:130:27:16

Yeah.

0:27:160:27:17

OK.

0:27:170:27:19

Let's take a look at some

of the highs and lows this week.

0:27:190:27:22

An emotional afternoon

for Teddy Bridgwater,

0:27:220:27:26

tears of joy at being active on game

day for the first time in two years.

0:27:260:27:30

In this same game...

0:27:300:27:31

Look at that.

0:27:310:27:32

Maurice Harris, who they brought

in off the practise squad...

0:27:340:27:37

Anybody can do it.

0:27:370:27:38

I'm starting to believe you, man.

0:27:380:27:40

That man couldn't do it.

0:27:400:27:42

Oh!

0:27:420:27:44

Landing on a side line bystander.

0:27:440:27:46

The Vikings celebrate

one of their touchdowns

0:27:460:27:48

by playing leapfrog.

0:27:480:27:49

That's a horrible celebration.

0:27:490:27:51

Now, this is a great celebration.

0:27:510:27:52

This was last week.

0:27:520:27:54

AJ Green's scuffle.

0:27:540:27:55

And the Steelers recreated it.

0:27:550:27:59

These boys are crazy.

0:27:590:28:02

I love that.

0:28:020:28:03

Special teams, special teams.

0:28:030:28:05

Special teams for special players.

0:28:050:28:06

Let me tell you.

0:28:060:28:08

What number does he have?

0:28:080:28:11

33?

0:28:110:28:12

33.

0:28:120:28:13

Welcome!

0:28:130:28:14

Go get it.

0:28:140:28:17

Pushed him forward.

0:28:170:28:18

The Broncos guy thought

you might need a bit of help.

0:28:180:28:21

Oh, that is sweet.

0:28:210:28:23

The personal protector

always does it.

0:28:230:28:25

You need an athletic guy in there.

0:28:250:28:28

That is Jaguars' Corey Grant who

runs the fake punt in for the score.

0:28:280:28:32

Defensive back.

0:28:320:28:33

Special teams player.

0:28:330:28:34

What I like is, even if they

are not your friend,

0:28:340:28:36

if they wear the same number,

there is some kind

0:28:360:28:39

of connection as well!

0:28:390:28:45

Finally, Robert Woods caught this

pass from Jared Gough to go 94

0:28:450:28:48

yards for the touchdown.

0:28:480:28:49

That's the longest

Rams play in 53 years.

0:28:490:28:51

I like that.

0:28:510:28:53

We will have plenty more in-depth

analysis this Tuesday,

0:28:550:28:57

on those games, on BBC Two,

from 11:15pm, NFL This Week.

0:28:570:29:00

So, from myself, Osi and Jason...

0:29:000:29:02

I won't do the cheek slap again.

0:29:020:29:04

It is good night.

0:29:040:29:07

What are you doing?

0:29:070:29:09

Oh, right.

0:29:090:29:10

On me?
