Episode 14 The NFL Show

COMMENTATOR: And it will be time for

these two teams to settle at...

The

throw...

Looking downfield, going

deep.

A one-man wrecking crew!

Unbelievable! How did you do that.

Unstoppable. Welcome to the Nfl

Show. We Are Once Again Joined By

Jason Bell, And We Also Have A

Special Guest. Mark... Shipman? Oh,

my God! Mark Chapman!

This is

absolutely unbearable!

Congratulations?

I take it you must

have won a competition to get on my

show. By the way, I do autographs

after and not during the show, taken

out of that. Only five weekends left

of this regular and competition is

getting fierce. We will be talking

about how no team and nobody can

afford to take a week off. We will

be bringing you highlights

Thursday's game between divisional

rivals the Washington Redskins and

the Dallas Cowboys, and we will be

taking a close look at Antonio Brown

to see if he can be stopped at all.

We are also looking ahead to a

crucial weekend fixtures, but first

we look back at what happened in

week 12. It is always next man up,

Mark, next man up.

Can't we all just

get along?

LAUGHTER

COMMENTATOR:

Back in the Coliseum,

the Gladiators coming out...

A lot of dancing going on in

Philadelphia right now.

Can you

measure this? Just go out and

measure it!

STUDIO: As Osi so eloquently said, I

am all right, back on the side! We

are close to finding out who the 12

teams will be to make the playoffs.

Four of those six teams are

divisional winners and the other two

will be the wild card to get in with

the best when loss record of the

rest. An awful lot to play for. Very

few games left, which makes this

incident between these two utterly

ridiculous. This is what happened in

the game last season, with

Crabtree's chain being ripped off

his neck and when they met at the

weekend he did exactly the same

thing, but it escalated.

Aqib Talib

is two for two in chain snatching!

This is ridiculous. Crabtree

obviously came in the game and said,

if something happens to me again, I

will have to fight and protect my

honour, because what happened last

time, you know, off the field he

heard a lot of people telling him

what kind of who was because he

didn't respond correctly, but this

is crazy. Going after each other

after the initial fight. It puts

both of them in a lot of jeopardy

and isn't good for each of their

teams.

The first thing to say, if

you had your chain gang off last

season, maybe don't Wear it this

time! But that is a matter of pride

-- if you had your chain ripped off.

You never want to see that on the

football field. Firstly, he snatches

it. Do you know how disrespect for

that is? To have that, then to get

the fisticuffs, throwing balls, the

stupidity between these two people

is mind-boggling.

It is passion,

showing that they care, and one

thing about being on a football

field, nobody will disrespect you

between those lines.

We will

decimate bring highlights between

the Steelers and the Packers, the

Steel is quietly making their way to

the playoffs with their trio of

quarterbacks at the fourth. The

Packers, unfortunately you could say

they are a little bit of a one-man

team, because that one man,

quarterback Aaron Rodgers comedies

denote with a broken collarbone for

some weeks and they have kind of

fallen off the cliff a little form

wise but there were signs of hope

because they pushed the Steelers, as

Rodgers is starting to make a

comeback, throwing a few now, and

they pushed them a lot further than

people thought.

Yes, he kind of

figured it out and started to make

some plays and that is what they

needed, that spark offensively from

the quarterback position.

1-yard

touchdown pass to get things up and

running. Boswell missed the extra

point. The Steelers were 6-0 up at

this stage, but these are the kind

of games that the Steelers don't

normally have problems with. It is

the lower ranked teams, the

struggling sides, that the Steelers

sometimes find it difficult to get

up.

It is really mind-boggling to

see a team with such pedigree play

like that consistently against

lesser competition.

Yes, they missed

a lot of them and that is how those

big plays happen. They need sure

that up and get paid to do anything

in the playoffs.

For this Packers

performance, this 39 yard touchdown,

the Packers went 7-6 up. Do you give

him some credit for this

performance, and the pressure on the

kids to replace Rogers, and even

people saying they are a one-man

team, so it must be hard for him,

bouncing back from a couple of

performances?

You have to get out

there, you have to see a game, a

live game, and he has been able to

do that.

But you never want to be

the guy replacing the man. You want

to come after somebody else, you

want to be the guy replacing the

guys he is put in a tough situation

but it finally looks like he is

coming around

that one from Brett

Hundley, 55 yard touchdown. That one

found Antonio Brown. 21-21 was how

they set it up going into the fourth

quarter. Now you will see Big Ben

finding Brown again.

Lakey always

does!

That was a 32 yard touchdown,

his fifth in two games, for Antonio

Brown, and it put the Steelers 28-21

up. -- like he always does.

I just

don't understand how the continues

to get open and make big play. At

some point you need to put an end to

this. Come on! It remains me of

playing against the Atlanta Falcons

in the red was on thinking,

hole-mac, they will throw the ball

to Gonzales. The dead and scored a

touchdown, I went berserk! --

thinking, oh, they will throw the

ball.

A miraculous sideline catch.

17 seconds left when he caught that.

It meant Big Ben kept the drive

moving and gave Chris Boswell that

53 yard game-winning field goal, the

longest ever at Haines field, and

the Steelers went 31-28.

We

persevered in the face of adversity,

made necessary plays, big plays. By

then, the turnovers by us, we didn't

blink, made the necessary plays to

win.

As you how they have both been

defending Antonio Brown. They will

explain there's a bit better...

What

do we have location? You look young

right here, Jason!

That is

everything I need to cover Antonio

Brown, the goatee, the moustache.

Jason Bell a young quarter, and that

is what I do...

First of all, what

is this?

And a subtle celebration.

Show us what is going on here.

All

right, right here, let's pause.

Antonio Brown, and in cover 2. He

will get physical with the wide

receiver and the safety over top.

Let's see what happens. Right here

as you see this play, Antonio Brown

beats his guy outside, squeezes down

the sideline, makes a throw,

touchdown, right? It looks simple

but it isn't. I will use you as an

example. See the sideline is there.

I am in cover too, so I need to get

physical and try to keep you inside.

Try to get outside. Did you see

that?

It kind of part a little, Jay

bro.

There is pressure to get to

that sideline quicker, and you can

see what happens.

Antonio Brown beat the corner and

put pressure on the safety.

Well done. I have played defense a

little bit. What about here?

We will

get this going, real quick. At the

goal line, man-to-man coverage.

Let's play the Rhine, right here.

Antonio Brown hit him -- played

around. With the fade, and once

again he catches, oh, man, what did

the quarter do? What he did wrong,

you have Antonio Brown, line of

scrimmage, that is the end zone, I

can't let you beat me there, but I

am still protecting the inside.

Saw

the inside, he can't...

Two steps

in, gave himself a little more room

creating space. That is what Antonio

Brown does, he creates space for Big

Ben. Using his footwork.

This one

right here, one of my favourite

players. It shows the intelligence

of Antonio Brown. They are going to

use this guy to pick the quarter on

the outside. As you see Antonio

Brown come to the outside you see

him picking, and you see the safety

takeaway that inside, so what does

he do? Side adjustment, the now was

around the safety. Ben spots that,

thoughts on the football, easy

touchdown.

That is then two on the

same page as well. He is creating

space for his quarterback because of

his awareness on the field.

No

question. What about here?

Pause it,

man-to-man coverage. Here you have a

bunch formation to everybody is

tight. You are known to protect

outside.

So this guy basically is

responsible for the outside?

Yes, he

knows that is where he is weak but

what Antonio Brown does as we

played, it is called lining a guy

up. I will explain this in a minute.

It just looks normal, he gets

outside, you think, how are you

supposed to take that away? What you

do, if you are a defender, stand

about there. You're protecting the

outside. What I am trying to do is

lay new up straight.

OK.

Now I have

a two way go, you have a little

pressure, and you're not supposed to

allow yourself to get a guy to get

head upon you. It is just subtle

adjustments. You can't even really

see it.

The Pittsburgh Steelers,

Antonio Brown, getting the job done!

I'm sorry, Jason.

LAUGHTER

In your own time, when you both

finished! You are annoyingly good at

that!

I don't want you to be but you are!

Anyhow! Thank you for that. This is

a round-up of what else happened in

week 12.

It didn't matter who was

passing the football. It came to

Julio Jones.

COMMENTATOR:

He is there, touchdown,

Atlanta!

The Falcons, seven and four

in the NFC South. The early season's

streakers the Chiefs, a fading

memory. Both teams six and five, a

little anxious.

Spice in the AFC West. Michael

Crabtree and Aqib Talib, and the

Raiders still in contention. And Tom

Brady, this one is a well worn

groove. The defending Super Bowl

champions, nine and two. The

Carolina Panthers and the New York

Jets. Cam Newton... And even more

flashy, Bobby Anderson.

That is a

Jets touched on!

But the Panthers

stay in the mix, and what a mix it

is in the NFC South. The Jaguars and

the Cardinals, birds of the Desert

avoiding the masters of the site. A

thriller...

The Chicago Bears at the

Philadelphia Eagles, The Eagles ten

times as many points as the Bears.

Attention to detail!

The New Orleans

Saints at the LA Rams, top against

top. NFC West against NFC South, the

end of the Saints' eight-game

streak, the head-butt of the Rams.

Here are all the results from week

12.

If you want a more in-depth look at

what happened in which 12 including

a look at how the Rams have turned

into such a dynamic team, that is in

our Tuesday show and that is on the

iPlayer now. Now, this is crunch

time for most teams. Their seasons

will be over in five weeks. To keep

going, they have to reach the

playoffs by winning their division

or getting a wild card spot with a

strong win loss record. We start

with the AFC, whether Patriots and

the Steelers are the two dominant

teams. The South is tight between

the Titans and the Jaguars and the

Kansas City Chiefs have basically

imploded in the West. There is no

other way to put it. They have

opened the door for the Chargers on

the Raiders. It is not a strong

conference, compared to the NFC.

What will get you a playoff spot?

What record, nine and seven?

I think

nine and seven. We have seen teams

creep out of nowhere.

It is what you

call a top-heavy conference, where

the top teams are so much better

than everybody else and the other

teams are just struggling along.

AFC

West, which for the first few weeks

of this season and preseason,

everybody was saying, strongest

division football. And at the

moment, it looks like one of the

worst divisions in football.

Listen,

they embody what the NFL stands for,

not for long! You start one way and

all of a sudden, you're at the

bottom. Who would have thought that

Kansas City, Oakland, Denver, most

teams that were picked for the Super

Bowl and now they are struggling to

get into the playoffs. Ridiculous.

After what has happened this week

with the way the Chargers won in

Dallas against the Cowboys and away

Kansas City yet again managed to

find a way to lose against

Barcelona, everybody is talking

about the Chargers being the likely

team to win the AFC West.

It's

amazing.

That is why you have got to

keep plugging. It's a long season,

and they are doing it defensively.

They have great players up front.

Arguably one of the best secondaries

in the league. With rivers, you have

a top ten quarterback. Things are

coming together for them.

This is

why the coach didn't panic. He saw

that they have a good quarterback,

good running game. They have the

components of a good football team.

The conference that does have the

strength and that is the NFC, so

many strong teams there.

You might have to go to 11 and five

to get a wild card in the NFC.

This

is the strongest conference right

now by a long shot, and you have to

win at least ten or 11 games to even

get a sniff the playoffs.

You have

got to win and you have got to win

now and everybody is so competitive.

We will look at the NFC South in

more detail in a moment, but on

Thursday night, the opening game of

which 13 was in the NFC East between

rivals Washington Redskins and the

Dallas Cowboys. They met to find out

who could start making offseason

holiday plans. These two NFL

institutions were realistically,

maybe optimistically, hunting for a

wild card spot. A win was all that

mattered.

COMMENTATOR: Touchdown!

You see him

do this all the time. All he is

doing is creating some space, Jason

Witten.

News item to watch on the Dallas

sidelined. After that field goal,

there were looking at his right

hand. It has been a tough first 25

minutes of the game for Washington.

Crazier than Washington politics

right now!

Trent Williams with the

flag.

Ryan Switzer turned the top field.

He will go all the way for a Cowboy

touchdown!

83 yards, terrific when

your quarterback is getting x-rays.

He has become a weapon. Watch the

little holes that he is having to

weave his way through.

He just

returned from the x-ray room, where

he was getting that injured right

hand x-rayed. It is a good sign that

he is back.

Washington needed this.

Where did that come from? Touchdown

by Ryan Grant.

They let Ryan Grant

get outside.

Touchdown, Cowboys!

That is the

tie-breaker, Dez Bryant. You have to

have guys that can win one-on-one

battles when it is available to your

quarterback. All he had to say was,

give me the ball. This is a bit of

what pro football has turned into.

Alfred Morris, capping off a big

night against his own team.

Touchdown, Dallas. Intercepted.

Brown will come out with an

interception. Into the end zone for

a Dallas touchdown. The team Dallas

has beaten the most, Washington,

they beat for the 70th time in

franchise history.

The Dallas' win moves them to six

and six.

It means The Eagles have to wait but

if they beat Seattle this week in,

they will win the NFC East. Here are

all the remaining week 13 fixtures.

I want to focus on the games

involving the teams in the NFC

South. You have the Atlanta Falcons

hosting the very impressive

Minnesota Vikings. How do you see

that?

Oh, you know, once again, it's

going to be that defense of the

Minnesota Vikings showing up big.

But they will have to show big

because the Atlanta offense have got

their mojo back.

They are clicking

again. They are looking scary. Matt

Ryan is coming to his own, but

Minnesota have been holding up on

defense all year and they will win.

Minnesota are in trouble here. The

introduction of Tevin Coleman and

Julio Jones, they are in sync right

now. Minnesota are going to lose.

And the other game involving teams

in the NFC South, the Panthers going

to the Saints. The sense lost to the

Rams last week.

This is incredible.

Carolina have been inconsistent this

year. They shouldn't have won the

game that they played.

But if you go

forward over the next few weeks,

there are a lot of divisional games

between these sides. Carolina still

have New Orleans to play. They have

Atlanta to play. They have Tampa

Bay. There are lots of divisional

matchups coming up at the back end

of the season for the South.

This is

real football and you had better be

ready to go because you are going to

need all your horses to get through

this.

The NFL did this

intentionally. Before, they were not

playing divisional games on the

back-end and teams were playing

against lesser competition or

meaningless games. But each one of

these games mean something.

How

intense is this divisional rivalry?

The NFC South is a division we have

touched on as much as the AFC West

or the NFC East. You have featured

in this division. How intense is the

rivalry?

I have no idea how intense

it was until I played. The hatred is

real! It was like I was in the

twilight zone, because I had never

heard about the animosity these

teams have towards each other. It is

real.

Worse than what The Eagles

fans used to say to you?

Atlanta

against New Orleans is the worst I

have ever been part of.

And we will

be there next week.

Yes, we will.

So

if we find New Orleans fans, they

will give you some stick?

Well, when

I was with Atlanta, I didn't play

that well. "Oh, You play for

Atlanta?".

Before we go, just time

to show you some highs and lows.

Navarro Bowman here, giving the

Raiders' first interception of the

season.

It took them that long and

it was a linebacker.

There was also

a linebacker lying down.

# Hello? Is it me you're looking

for?

Sanu Van Julio Jones in Atlanta.

Eagles celebrated their win with an

electric slide. You two are such old

men. Buffalo Bills' Jones did his

best Michael Jackson impression. The

Julio Jones rout put Ryan Smith on

the floor and that was a touchdown.

And watch AJ Green here.

Is it

legit?

Yeah. I wouldn't show you a

play that wasn't legit. Right,

that's almost it from us. We will

next be on your screens on Tuesday

for NFL this week, where we will

analyse some of those mouthwatering

games. Then we will be back this

time next week with an NFL show

special where we will be from

Atlanta to bring you all the behind

the scenes coverage of the Thursday

night game between your clearance at

the Atlantic Falcons. Before we go,

a couple of quarterbacks have made

the news. Tom Brady has been

nominated for its national Sports

Personality of the Year, along with

some other great names in world

sport. You can vote for the winner

of that competition on the BBC

website. And we have to congratulate

Carson wends on the news of his

royal wedding.

What?

The Eagles

started that, not us. He is the

first quarterback to have reached

ten wins this season, so that

deserves congratulations. He is not

marrying Meghan Markle. From Osi,

Jason and myself, we will see you

next week.

The first team to reach

the ten win milestone in the regular

season, The Eagles. Lean in defense,

on a spree and united in

celebration. It's not over yet, but

here is a team on its way to the

postseason.
