0:00:10 > 0:00:20COMMENTATOR: And it will be time for these two teams to settle at...The
0:00:20 > 0:00:28throw...Looking downfield, going deep.A one-man wrecking crew!
0:00:28 > 0:00:42Unbelievable! How did you do that. Unstoppable. Welcome to the Nfl
0:00:42 > 0:00:47Show. We Are Once Again Joined By Jason Bell, And We Also Have A
0:00:47 > 0:00:59Special Guest. Mark... Shipman? Oh, my God! Mark Chapman!This is
0:00:59 > 0:01:02absolutely unbearable! Congratulations?I take it you must
0:01:02 > 0:01:06have won a competition to get on my show. By the way, I do autographs
0:01:06 > 0:01:10after and not during the show, taken out of that. Only five weekends left
0:01:10 > 0:01:16of this regular and competition is getting fierce. We will be talking
0:01:16 > 0:01:20about how no team and nobody can afford to take a week off. We will
0:01:20 > 0:01:24be bringing you highlights Thursday's game between divisional
0:01:24 > 0:01:27rivals the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys, and we will be
0:01:27 > 0:01:32taking a close look at Antonio Brown to see if he can be stopped at all.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We are also looking ahead to a crucial weekend fixtures, but first
0:01:35 > 0:01:42we look back at what happened in week 12. It is always next man up,
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Mark, next man up.Can't we all just get along?
0:01:46 > 0:01:54LAUGHTER COMMENTATOR:Back in the Coliseum,
0:01:54 > 0:02:01the Gladiators coming out... A lot of dancing going on in
0:02:01 > 0:02:07Philadelphia right now.Can you measure this? Just go out and
0:02:07 > 0:02:17measure it! STUDIO: As Osi so eloquently said, I
0:02:17 > 0:02:26am all right, back on the side! We are close to finding out who the 12
0:02:26 > 0:02:30teams will be to make the playoffs. Four of those six teams are
0:02:30 > 0:02:33divisional winners and the other two will be the wild card to get in with
0:02:33 > 0:02:39the best when loss record of the rest. An awful lot to play for. Very
0:02:39 > 0:02:47few games left, which makes this incident between these two utterly
0:02:47 > 0:02:53ridiculous. This is what happened in the game last season, with
0:02:53 > 0:03:01Crabtree's chain being ripped off his neck and when they met at the
0:03:01 > 0:03:07weekend he did exactly the same thing, but it escalated.Aqib Talib
0:03:07 > 0:03:11is two for two in chain snatching! This is ridiculous. Crabtree
0:03:11 > 0:03:15obviously came in the game and said, if something happens to me again, I
0:03:15 > 0:03:19will have to fight and protect my honour, because what happened last
0:03:19 > 0:03:23time, you know, off the field he heard a lot of people telling him
0:03:23 > 0:03:27what kind of who was because he didn't respond correctly, but this
0:03:27 > 0:03:30is crazy. Going after each other after the initial fight. It puts
0:03:30 > 0:03:35both of them in a lot of jeopardy and isn't good for each of their
0:03:35 > 0:03:39teams.The first thing to say, if you had your chain gang off last
0:03:39 > 0:03:43season, maybe don't Wear it this time! But that is a matter of pride
0:03:43 > 0:03:53-- if you had your chain ripped off. You never want to see that on the
0:03:53 > 0:03:58football field. Firstly, he snatches it. Do you know how disrespect for
0:03:58 > 0:04:04that is? To have that, then to get the fisticuffs, throwing balls, the
0:04:04 > 0:04:09stupidity between these two people is mind-boggling.It is passion,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12showing that they care, and one thing about being on a football
0:04:12 > 0:04:14field, nobody will disrespect you between those lines.We will
0:04:14 > 0:04:24decimate bring highlights between the Steelers and the Packers, the
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Steel is quietly making their way to the playoffs with their trio of
0:04:27 > 0:04:33quarterbacks at the fourth. The Packers, unfortunately you could say
0:04:33 > 0:04:38they are a little bit of a one-man team, because that one man,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41quarterback Aaron Rodgers comedies denote with a broken collarbone for
0:04:41 > 0:04:45some weeks and they have kind of fallen off the cliff a little form
0:04:45 > 0:04:51wise but there were signs of hope because they pushed the Steelers, as
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Rodgers is starting to make a comeback, throwing a few now, and
0:04:56 > 0:05:01they pushed them a lot further than people thought.Yes, he kind of
0:05:01 > 0:05:04figured it out and started to make some plays and that is what they
0:05:04 > 0:05:12needed, that spark offensively from the quarterback position.1-yard
0:05:12 > 0:05:16touchdown pass to get things up and running. Boswell missed the extra
0:05:16 > 0:05:21point. The Steelers were 6-0 up at this stage, but these are the kind
0:05:21 > 0:05:26of games that the Steelers don't normally have problems with. It is
0:05:26 > 0:05:29the lower ranked teams, the struggling sides, that the Steelers
0:05:29 > 0:05:37sometimes find it difficult to get up.It is really mind-boggling to
0:05:37 > 0:05:41see a team with such pedigree play like that consistently against
0:05:41 > 0:05:45lesser competition.Yes, they missed a lot of them and that is how those
0:05:45 > 0:05:47big plays happen. They need sure that up and get paid to do anything
0:05:47 > 0:05:55in the playoffs.For this Packers performance, this 39 yard touchdown,
0:05:55 > 0:06:00the Packers went 7-6 up. Do you give him some credit for this
0:06:00 > 0:06:05performance, and the pressure on the kids to replace Rogers, and even
0:06:05 > 0:06:10people saying they are a one-man team, so it must be hard for him,
0:06:10 > 0:06:18bouncing back from a couple of performances?You have to get out
0:06:18 > 0:06:21there, you have to see a game, a live game, and he has been able to
0:06:21 > 0:06:26do that.But you never want to be the guy replacing the man. You want
0:06:26 > 0:06:33to come after somebody else, you want to be the guy replacing the
0:06:33 > 0:06:41guys he is put in a tough situation but it finally looks like he is
0:06:41 > 0:06:46coming aroundthat one from Brett Hundley, 55 yard touchdown. That one
0:06:46 > 0:06:52found Antonio Brown. 21-21 was how they set it up going into the fourth
0:06:52 > 0:07:02quarter. Now you will see Big Ben finding Brown again.Lakey always
0:07:02 > 0:07:08does!That was a 32 yard touchdown, his fifth in two games, for Antonio
0:07:08 > 0:07:16Brown, and it put the Steelers 28-21 up. -- like he always does.I just
0:07:16 > 0:07:20don't understand how the continues to get open and make big play. At
0:07:20 > 0:07:26some point you need to put an end to this. Come on! It remains me of
0:07:26 > 0:07:30playing against the Atlanta Falcons in the red was on thinking,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34hole-mac, they will throw the ball to Gonzales. The dead and scored a
0:07:34 > 0:07:42touchdown, I went berserk! -- thinking, oh, they will throw the
0:07:42 > 0:07:49ball.A miraculous sideline catch. 17 seconds left when he caught that.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54It meant Big Ben kept the drive moving and gave Chris Boswell that
0:07:54 > 0:08:0153 yard game-winning field goal, the longest ever at Haines field, and
0:08:01 > 0:08:07the Steelers went 31-28.We persevered in the face of adversity,
0:08:07 > 0:08:13made necessary plays, big plays. By then, the turnovers by us, we didn't
0:08:13 > 0:08:24blink, made the necessary plays to win.As you how they have both been
0:08:24 > 0:08:29defending Antonio Brown. They will explain there's a bit better...What
0:08:29 > 0:08:35do we have location? You look young right here, Jason!That is
0:08:35 > 0:08:41everything I need to cover Antonio Brown, the goatee, the moustache.
0:08:41 > 0:08:50Jason Bell a young quarter, and that is what I do...First of all, what
0:08:50 > 0:08:59is this?And a subtle celebration. Show us what is going on here.All
0:08:59 > 0:09:07right, right here, let's pause. Antonio Brown, and in cover 2. He
0:09:07 > 0:09:11will get physical with the wide receiver and the safety over top.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Let's see what happens. Right here as you see this play, Antonio Brown
0:09:16 > 0:09:19beats his guy outside, squeezes down the sideline, makes a throw,
0:09:19 > 0:09:24touchdown, right? It looks simple but it isn't. I will use you as an
0:09:24 > 0:09:31example. See the sideline is there. I am in cover too, so I need to get
0:09:31 > 0:09:35physical and try to keep you inside. Try to get outside. Did you see
0:09:35 > 0:09:44that?It kind of part a little, Jay bro.There is pressure to get to
0:09:44 > 0:09:47that sideline quicker, and you can see what happens.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Antonio Brown beat the corner and put pressure on the safety.
0:09:52 > 0:09:57Well done. I have played defense a little bit. What about here?We will
0:09:57 > 0:10:02get this going, real quick. At the goal line, man-to-man coverage.
0:10:02 > 0:10:09Let's play the Rhine, right here. Antonio Brown hit him -- played
0:10:09 > 0:10:14around. With the fade, and once again he catches, oh, man, what did
0:10:14 > 0:10:20the quarter do? What he did wrong, you have Antonio Brown, line of
0:10:20 > 0:10:23scrimmage, that is the end zone, I can't let you beat me there, but I
0:10:23 > 0:10:30am still protecting the inside.Saw the inside, he can't...Two steps
0:10:30 > 0:10:36in, gave himself a little more room creating space. That is what Antonio
0:10:36 > 0:10:44Brown does, he creates space for Big Ben. Using his footwork.This one
0:10:44 > 0:10:47right here, one of my favourite players. It shows the intelligence
0:10:47 > 0:10:56of Antonio Brown. They are going to use this guy to pick the quarter on
0:10:56 > 0:11:00the outside. As you see Antonio Brown come to the outside you see
0:11:00 > 0:11:05him picking, and you see the safety takeaway that inside, so what does
0:11:05 > 0:11:10he do? Side adjustment, the now was around the safety. Ben spots that,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13thoughts on the football, easy touchdown.That is then two on the
0:11:13 > 0:11:17same page as well. He is creating space for his quarterback because of
0:11:17 > 0:11:29his awareness on the field.No question. What about here?Pause it,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33man-to-man coverage. Here you have a bunch formation to everybody is
0:11:33 > 0:11:37tight. You are known to protect outside.So this guy basically is
0:11:37 > 0:11:42responsible for the outside?Yes, he knows that is where he is weak but
0:11:42 > 0:11:45what Antonio Brown does as we played, it is called lining a guy
0:11:45 > 0:11:50up. I will explain this in a minute. It just looks normal, he gets
0:11:50 > 0:11:54outside, you think, how are you supposed to take that away? What you
0:11:54 > 0:11:58do, if you are a defender, stand about there. You're protecting the
0:11:58 > 0:12:04outside. What I am trying to do is lay new up straight.OK.Now I have
0:12:04 > 0:12:08a two way go, you have a little pressure, and you're not supposed to
0:12:08 > 0:12:13allow yourself to get a guy to get head upon you. It is just subtle
0:12:13 > 0:12:23adjustments. You can't even really see it.The Pittsburgh Steelers,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Antonio Brown, getting the job done! I'm sorry, Jason.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29LAUGHTER In your own time, when you both
0:12:29 > 0:12:35finished! You are annoyingly good at that!
0:12:35 > 0:12:41I don't want you to be but you are! Anyhow! Thank you for that. This is
0:12:41 > 0:12:50a round-up of what else happened in week 12.It didn't matter who was
0:12:50 > 0:12:58passing the football. It came to Julio Jones.
0:12:58 > 0:13:07COMMENTATOR:He is there, touchdown, Atlanta!The Falcons, seven and four
0:13:07 > 0:13:13in the NFC South. The early season's streakers the Chiefs, a fading
0:13:13 > 0:13:24memory. Both teams six and five, a little anxious.
0:13:24 > 0:13:39Spice in the AFC West. Michael Crabtree and Aqib Talib, and the
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Raiders still in contention. And Tom Brady, this one is a well worn
0:13:44 > 0:13:54groove. The defending Super Bowl champions, nine and two. The
0:13:54 > 0:14:06Carolina Panthers and the New York Jets. Cam Newton... And even more
0:14:06 > 0:14:10flashy, Bobby Anderson.That is a Jets touched on!But the Panthers
0:14:10 > 0:14:15stay in the mix, and what a mix it is in the NFC South. The Jaguars and
0:14:15 > 0:14:20the Cardinals, birds of the Desert avoiding the masters of the site. A
0:14:20 > 0:14:28thriller...
0:14:28 > 0:14:33The Chicago Bears at the Philadelphia Eagles, The Eagles ten
0:14:33 > 0:14:46times as many points as the Bears. Attention to detail!The New Orleans
0:14:46 > 0:14:52Saints at the LA Rams, top against top. NFC West against NFC South, the
0:14:52 > 0:15:01end of the Saints' eight-game streak, the head-butt of the Rams.
0:15:01 > 0:15:13Here are all the results from week 12.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28If you want a more in-depth look at what happened in which 12 including
0:15:28 > 0:15:31a look at how the Rams have turned into such a dynamic team, that is in
0:15:31 > 0:15:37our Tuesday show and that is on the iPlayer now. Now, this is crunch
0:15:37 > 0:15:42time for most teams. Their seasons will be over in five weeks. To keep
0:15:42 > 0:15:44going, they have to reach the playoffs by winning their division
0:15:44 > 0:15:53or getting a wild card spot with a strong win loss record. We start
0:15:53 > 0:15:56with the AFC, whether Patriots and the Steelers are the two dominant
0:15:56 > 0:16:02teams. The South is tight between the Titans and the Jaguars and the
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Kansas City Chiefs have basically imploded in the West. There is no
0:16:05 > 0:16:10other way to put it. They have opened the door for the Chargers on
0:16:10 > 0:16:26the Raiders. It is not a strong conference, compared to the NFC.
0:16:26 > 0:16:34What will get you a playoff spot? What record, nine and seven?I think
0:16:34 > 0:16:41nine and seven. We have seen teams creep out of nowhere.It is what you
0:16:41 > 0:16:44call a top-heavy conference, where the top teams are so much better
0:16:44 > 0:16:51than everybody else and the other teams are just struggling along.AFC
0:16:51 > 0:16:55West, which for the first few weeks of this season and preseason,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59everybody was saying, strongest division football. And at the
0:16:59 > 0:17:04moment, it looks like one of the worst divisions in football.Listen,
0:17:04 > 0:17:11they embody what the NFL stands for, not for long! You start one way and
0:17:11 > 0:17:16all of a sudden, you're at the bottom. Who would have thought that
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Kansas City, Oakland, Denver, most teams that were picked for the Super
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Bowl and now they are struggling to get into the playoffs. Ridiculous.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27After what has happened this week with the way the Chargers won in
0:17:27 > 0:17:32Dallas against the Cowboys and away Kansas City yet again managed to
0:17:32 > 0:17:35find a way to lose against Barcelona, everybody is talking
0:17:35 > 0:17:41about the Chargers being the likely team to win the AFC West.It's
0:17:41 > 0:17:46amazing.That is why you have got to keep plugging. It's a long season,
0:17:46 > 0:17:51and they are doing it defensively. They have great players up front.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Arguably one of the best secondaries in the league. With rivers, you have
0:17:55 > 0:18:01a top ten quarterback. Things are coming together for them.This is
0:18:01 > 0:18:06why the coach didn't panic. He saw that they have a good quarterback,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10good running game. They have the components of a good football team.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14The conference that does have the strength and that is the NFC, so
0:18:14 > 0:18:25many strong teams there.
0:18:43 > 0:18:49You might have to go to 11 and five to get a wild card in the NFC.This
0:18:49 > 0:18:53is the strongest conference right now by a long shot, and you have to
0:18:53 > 0:18:57win at least ten or 11 games to even get a sniff the playoffs.You have
0:18:57 > 0:19:01got to win and you have got to win now and everybody is so competitive.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06We will look at the NFC South in more detail in a moment, but on
0:19:06 > 0:19:12Thursday night, the opening game of which 13 was in the NFC East between
0:19:12 > 0:19:14rivals Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. They met to find out
0:19:14 > 0:19:21who could start making offseason holiday plans. These two NFL
0:19:21 > 0:19:26institutions were realistically, maybe optimistically, hunting for a
0:19:26 > 0:19:30wild card spot. A win was all that mattered.
0:19:36 > 0:19:51COMMENTATOR: Touchdown!You see him do this all the time. All he is
0:19:51 > 0:20:02doing is creating some space, Jason Witten.
0:20:11 > 0:20:20News item to watch on the Dallas sidelined. After that field goal,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24there were looking at his right hand. It has been a tough first 25
0:20:24 > 0:20:29minutes of the game for Washington. Crazier than Washington politics
0:20:29 > 0:20:44right now!Trent Williams with the flag.
0:20:45 > 0:20:52Ryan Switzer turned the top field. He will go all the way for a Cowboy
0:20:52 > 0:21:01touchdown!83 yards, terrific when your quarterback is getting x-rays.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05He has become a weapon. Watch the little holes that he is having to
0:21:05 > 0:21:10weave his way through.He just returned from the x-ray room, where
0:21:10 > 0:21:16he was getting that injured right hand x-rayed. It is a good sign that
0:21:16 > 0:21:38he is back.Washington needed this. Where did that come from? Touchdown
0:21:38 > 0:21:58by Ryan Grant.They let Ryan Grant get outside.
0:21:59 > 0:22:07Touchdown, Cowboys!That is the tie-breaker, Dez Bryant. You have to
0:22:07 > 0:22:10have guys that can win one-on-one battles when it is available to your
0:22:10 > 0:22:23quarterback. All he had to say was, give me the ball. This is a bit of
0:22:23 > 0:22:32what pro football has turned into. Alfred Morris, capping off a big
0:22:32 > 0:22:49night against his own team. Touchdown, Dallas. Intercepted.
0:22:49 > 0:22:58Brown will come out with an interception. Into the end zone for
0:22:58 > 0:23:03a Dallas touchdown. The team Dallas has beaten the most, Washington,
0:23:03 > 0:23:10they beat for the 70th time in franchise history.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13The Dallas' win moves them to six and six.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20It means The Eagles have to wait but if they beat Seattle this week in,
0:23:20 > 0:23:26they will win the NFC East. Here are all the remaining week 13 fixtures.
0:23:26 > 0:23:33I want to focus on the games involving the teams in the NFC
0:23:33 > 0:23:42South. You have the Atlanta Falcons hosting the very impressive
0:23:42 > 0:23:55Minnesota Vikings. How do you see that?Oh, you know, once again, it's
0:23:55 > 0:23:58going to be that defense of the Minnesota Vikings showing up big.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02But they will have to show big because the Atlanta offense have got
0:24:02 > 0:24:07their mojo back.They are clicking again. They are looking scary. Matt
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Ryan is coming to his own, but Minnesota have been holding up on
0:24:12 > 0:24:19defense all year and they will win. Minnesota are in trouble here. The
0:24:19 > 0:24:31introduction of Tevin Coleman and Julio Jones, they are in sync right
0:24:31 > 0:24:37now. Minnesota are going to lose. And the other game involving teams
0:24:37 > 0:24:42in the NFC South, the Panthers going to the Saints. The sense lost to the
0:24:42 > 0:24:56Rams last week.This is incredible. Carolina have been inconsistent this
0:24:56 > 0:25:02year. They shouldn't have won the game that they played.But if you go
0:25:02 > 0:25:07forward over the next few weeks, there are a lot of divisional games
0:25:07 > 0:25:17between these sides. Carolina still have New Orleans to play. They have
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Atlanta to play. They have Tampa Bay. There are lots of divisional
0:25:20 > 0:25:25matchups coming up at the back end of the season for the South.This is
0:25:25 > 0:25:28real football and you had better be ready to go because you are going to
0:25:28 > 0:25:32need all your horses to get through this.The NFL did this
0:25:32 > 0:25:35intentionally. Before, they were not playing divisional games on the
0:25:35 > 0:25:39back-end and teams were playing against lesser competition or
0:25:39 > 0:25:44meaningless games. But each one of these games mean something.How
0:25:44 > 0:25:47intense is this divisional rivalry? The NFC South is a division we have
0:25:47 > 0:25:53touched on as much as the AFC West or the NFC East. You have featured
0:25:53 > 0:25:58in this division. How intense is the rivalry?I have no idea how intense
0:25:58 > 0:26:06it was until I played. The hatred is real! It was like I was in the
0:26:06 > 0:26:10twilight zone, because I had never heard about the animosity these
0:26:10 > 0:26:15teams have towards each other. It is real.Worse than what The Eagles
0:26:15 > 0:26:21fans used to say to you?Atlanta against New Orleans is the worst I
0:26:21 > 0:26:30have ever been part of.And we will be there next week.Yes, we will.So
0:26:30 > 0:26:35if we find New Orleans fans, they will give you some stick?Well, when
0:26:35 > 0:26:41I was with Atlanta, I didn't play that well. "Oh, You play for
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Atlanta?".Before we go, just time to show you some highs and lows.
0:26:46 > 0:26:53Navarro Bowman here, giving the Raiders' first interception of the
0:26:53 > 0:26:58season.It took them that long and it was a linebacker.There was also
0:26:58 > 0:27:10a linebacker lying down. # Hello? Is it me you're looking
0:27:10 > 0:27:19for?
0:27:22 > 0:27:33Sanu Van Julio Jones in Atlanta. Eagles celebrated their win with an
0:27:33 > 0:27:50electric slide. You two are such old men. Buffalo Bills' Jones did his
0:27:50 > 0:27:56best Michael Jackson impression. The Julio Jones rout put Ryan Smith on
0:27:56 > 0:28:11the floor and that was a touchdown. And watch AJ Green here.Is it
0:28:11 > 0:28:17legit?Yeah. I wouldn't show you a play that wasn't legit. Right,
