0:00:04 > 0:00:07VIDEO MONTAGE: And it will be time for these two teams to settle
0:00:07 > 0:00:09it between the white lines.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Elway, is going to fire towards the end zone.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13The ball up the nearside field.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Montana throw...
0:00:15 > 0:00:20Rogers looking downfield, going deeper.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22The one-man wrecking crew.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Unbelievable.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Let's go!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29How did he do that?
0:00:29 > 0:00:30In the end zone.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Caught!
0:00:31 > 0:00:32For the win.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Unstoppable.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Hello and welcome to The NFL Show.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40In a little over 24 hours we will know who will
0:00:40 > 0:00:42be playing in Super Bowl LII.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43We're down to the final four teams.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm joined by Osi Umenyiora and Jason Bell
0:00:45 > 0:00:48as we tackle the conference championship round of the play-offs.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50How they got there, and who is going to make
0:00:50 > 0:00:52it one step further to the
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Super Bowl.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Marcus Williams, if by some bizarre chance you're watching,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01these two are here for you any time you need.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02You're understanding aren't you?
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I'm totally understanding with my career.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06No.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09But maybe, if you are watching, switchover for the next half-hour,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12get rid of your TV, state of social media,
0:01:12 > 0:01:13at least for a couple of
0:01:13 > 0:01:17years.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20--Stay off.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Let's do it right here.
0:01:24 > 0:01:31This is all nothing right here.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32That's the faith I've been looking for.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38We're not going home.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Here we go, Eagles!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So this weekend's conference titles are up for grabs and with that title
0:01:47 > 0:01:50a visit to the Super Bowl.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53First, let's see where we were going into
0:01:53 > 0:01:54last weekend's divisional round.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56In the AFC we have the Tennessee Titans
0:01:56 > 0:01:58up against the current champions, the New England Patriots.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00We have the Jacksonville Jaguars up against
0:02:00 > 0:02:01the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05In the NFC the Atlanta Falcons visited
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints were at the Super
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Bowl venue in Minnesota to play the Vikings.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And we're going to start the show with highlights from the
0:02:12 > 0:02:14final moments of this incredible game.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But first, without giving away the ending, and also without giving
0:02:16 > 0:02:19away the language we were using to each other
0:02:19 > 0:02:20on our WhatsApp group at
0:02:20 > 0:02:27the end of this game...
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Just describe where you were, how you
0:02:28 > 0:02:29experienced the final moments.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Your reaction.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Where was I?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I was actually in an airport lounge and I
0:02:34 > 0:02:35was highly stressed out.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Highly stressed out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Thinking of my man Osi looking at me in the eye and all of
0:02:42 > 0:02:46a sudden it happens and I go berserk.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49But I got headphones in, so people think I have lost my mind.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52But I did.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Impossible not to go berserk at the end of this.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Without giving it away, impossible not to go
0:02:56 > 0:02:57berserk at the end.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58Never seen anything like it before.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Never seen anything like that before.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Right then, no swearing there, good.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Tonight's highlights, the Saints were 17-0
0:03:05 > 0:03:10down at half-time, but
0:03:10 > 0:03:13with just three minutes remaining pulled into the lead by one
0:03:13 > 0:03:14point.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15So the score 21-20.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Put your feet up, grab some popcorn.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18This is absolute box office.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21COMMENTATOR: Low snap.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Keenum throws it.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Flag.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Pass caught by Thielen.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Thielen with the catch of a lifetime.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Assuming he makes this, they're going to leave
0:03:33 > 0:03:35time on the clock for Drew Brees as well.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39It'll be a 53 Yard Drive.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41This is for the lead.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Four down...
0:03:42 > 0:03:48He got it!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Troy, I think both head coaches have what they want.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Game's on the line.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Drew Brees on the field for Sean Payton.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And this defence on the field for Mike Zimmer of Minnesota.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Drew Brees underneath, pass caught.
0:03:58 > 0:04:06The tight end, Hill.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Third and ten.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18We're showing the safety wide here.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20The vulnerability of that defenses in the middle.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Pass is incomplete.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It was there and through the hands of Michael Thomas.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Now it is 4th down.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Here we go, this is a game.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30This is a game because they're not in field goal range, so that means
0:04:30 > 0:04:32the Saints have to get ten yards to have a life.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The red line is where they want to go for the field goal
0:04:35 > 0:04:36try.
0:04:36 > 0:04:374th & 10.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Brees, pass and caught!
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Snead.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41The 33-yard line.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43And now with 40 seconds left, the conversion.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Biggest throw of the game by Drew Brees and it was
0:04:45 > 0:04:46perfect.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49You've got to believe Sean Payton's going to keep this ball on
0:04:49 > 0:04:50the ground.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Kumari in the backfield gets it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Carries it.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Doesn't get anything.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57In fact, lost half a yard.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Will Lutz, 29 seconds left.
0:04:58 > 0:05:0043 yard try for the lead.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Lutz!
0:05:05 > 0:05:11And the Saints are back on top.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And so 25 seconds left and this game is
0:05:14 > 0:05:15not over.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17That's the third lead change over the last two minutes and
0:05:17 > 0:05:1836 seconds.
0:05:18 > 0:05:2125 seconds left, starting at the 25, and it's all on
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Case Keenum and this Minnesota friends to give Kai Forbath another
0:05:24 > 0:05:25chance 1st & 15.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Two Diggs for 1st down.
0:05:26 > 0:05:34They've got to use a time-out, I would think.
0:05:34 > 0:05:4017 seconds left.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Time-out taken by the Vikings.
0:05:41 > 0:05:48They're out of time-outs.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49They need 20, 25 yards to give Kai
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Forbath the chance with 18 ticks remaining.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Down by one.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Pass to the sideline.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Nothing there.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56The receiver, Wright, had fallen down.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Rudolph was, I guess, the closest to it.
0:05:57 > 0:05:5914 seconds left.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Keenum gets his and throw is incomplete.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05More pressure.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Sheldon Rankins came through.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14And now ten seconds remain in what could be a heartbreaking
0:06:14 > 0:06:20loss for the Vikings and a thrilling come from behind win for the Saints.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Keenum steps into it, pass is caught.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Diggs, sideline, touchdown!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Unbelievable!
0:06:27 > 0:06:34Vikings win it!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36You see Marcus Williams here, he has a
0:06:36 > 0:06:37shot.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I'm not sure really what he's thinking, Joe.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42He comes in, he's got him dialled in, all he's got to do
0:06:42 > 0:06:50is make a play.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And even if he catches it, tackle him inbounds, the game is
0:06:53 > 0:06:54over.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I know Diggs, he's catching this, he is expecting somebody to
0:06:57 > 0:06:58hit him.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59And he turns around...
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Nobody's there and he's off to the races and it's pandemonium.
0:07:02 > 0:07:0361 brilliant yards for Stefon Diggs.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And Case Keenum has just taken the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Championship Game in a game none of us will soon forget.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11It was a remarkable finish with a remarkable
0:07:11 > 0:07:17final play.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21We did loads on this on the Tuesday night show, which is
0:07:21 > 0:07:24still on the iPlayer, you can see all the interviews and all the
0:07:24 > 0:07:25reaction.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28We're going to try and get an understanding of what Marcus
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Williams was trying to do with these two now in a demonstration.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32First just explain what Minnesota were
0:07:32 > 0:07:35thinking with that final play and what they were hoping to happen.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Because that was beyond their wildest dreams.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38No question.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Catch the football, get out of bounds,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42give the field goalkicker a chance to win the game for them.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47That's not what happened though.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Had to get out of bounds because that would have
0:07:50 > 0:07:53stopped the clock, they were out of time-out, so they would have
0:07:53 > 0:07:55needed three or four seconds left on the
0:07:55 > 0:07:56clock.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Exactly.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59OK, so for the purpose of this demonstration, your
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Diggs, you take the glory.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02You get to be the defender.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Take the glory!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Can you imagine, can you role-play this, can you delve into experience?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I can definitely break this down!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I understand taking bad angles.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10What is Marcus Williams doing here?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Because obviously he's been vilified for what happened.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13He's a rookie as well.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14He trying to do?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16This guy's played great all season, so
0:08:16 > 0:08:17ultimately he had a great year.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19He was a part of that transformation.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22What he's trying to do is first of all knock the ball down.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Hopefully there is an incomplete pass.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25And keep the player inbounds.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27But what he did was he got there too early.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30And he knows because everybody says, don't give up a pass interference
0:08:30 > 0:08:32call, because that moves the ball up, gives
0:08:32 > 0:08:34them a chance to kick the
0:08:34 > 0:08:35field goal.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38He's got all this going on in his head.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So if he'd have got there early and touched Diggs or
0:08:41 > 0:08:42whatever, that would have been pass interference.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46That would have been a penalty.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49That would have been another play for the Vikings within
0:08:49 > 0:08:56field goal range.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Absolutely.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59So he does not want that to happen.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01So when he takes his ankle and he gets
0:09:01 > 0:09:03there a little too early, he's like no.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04I can't be here.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05This is pass interference.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07He does what defensive backs do sometimes in bad
0:09:07 > 0:09:08situations.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11They put their head down, start to look at the ground,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14because they've got in there too early and their hips are too low.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15To stop them.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17His head drops and now he cannot see his opponent.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So now he doesn't even see what's happening.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Because he's trying to keep him inbounds at the same time but his
0:09:22 > 0:09:24ankle's just a little off.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25What happens as a player, when you have
0:09:25 > 0:09:29too many things going on in your head in a reactionary situation, bad
0:09:29 > 0:09:30things happen.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31It was just an unfortunate situation.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33It was a lose-lose situation, no way you
0:09:33 > 0:09:34could have won.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36If they'd caught the ball they would have kicked the
0:09:36 > 0:09:39field goal, I mean, nothing he could have done.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Unfortunately.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Looks like he was the goat in this situation.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I don't know how much room there is for sympathy
0:09:44 > 0:09:47in professional sport, but do you have sympathy for him?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Yeah, you have to, man, because of the season this guy's had.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52He was part of the reason why they make the
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Renaissance, they made it all the way to the playoffs in this
0:09:55 > 0:09:57particular situation, so for all this to be
0:09:57 > 0:09:59on his shoulders right now, in particular the Saints didn't
0:09:59 > 0:10:01play all that well in the first half.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03There were so many things that happened.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04It shouldn't be on him right now.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07How much credit do you give Diggs for keeping the coolness
0:10:07 > 0:10:08and composure?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11In his head he must have thought, I catch this and I get
0:10:11 > 0:10:12out of bounds.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13He didn't.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14He caught the ball.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I think you saw what happened and he just knew nobody on
0:10:18 > 0:10:20the football field was anywhere close to being as fast as him.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21He just took off, outstanding football
0:10:21 > 0:10:22play.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I just want to show you this as well.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Case Keenum at the end.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Bear in mind he's had to prove himself all the way through his
0:10:29 > 0:10:30career.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33People have expected him to blow up at some point during the
0:10:33 > 0:10:35season and cost the Vikings a run to the playoffs.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I just love the joy in his face here as he coordinates the
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Vikings fans in the skull chant.
0:10:40 > 0:10:41This is after the Diggs touchdown.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44This is a man relaxed and at home and probably quite disbelieving at
0:10:44 > 0:10:47what happened.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Yeah, he's probably clapping saying...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Osi, Osi, Osi!
0:10:51 > 0:10:57That's a good one.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00That's about the only thing you can make a joke about
0:11:00 > 0:11:02at the moment.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04The other AFC matchup was between the Atlanta Falcons and
0:11:04 > 0:11:05the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06The Eagles were at home.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08They were not favourites thanks to the
0:11:08 > 0:11:10inconsistency of their stand-in quarterback Nick Foles.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16Keep it inbounds.
0:11:16 > 0:11:24Very good, very good.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Opportunity, that's what we've got here today!
0:11:28 > 0:11:35Show this team over here what we're about, man!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Cut it loose today, have fun, trust the man next
0:11:37 > 0:11:38to you, all right?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40The Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles.
0:11:40 > 0:11:46No touchdown fest in Philadelphia.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48The Eagles defense is being introduced
0:11:48 > 0:11:51because that is what Philadelphia is leaning on most today.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56At least not after one apiece.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57First LeGarrette Blount of the Eagles.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01And Devonta Freeman for the Falcons.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Looking for the end zone.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06What a play.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The Falcons in front but pegged back and
0:12:08 > 0:12:10overhauled by Jake Elliott field goals.
0:12:10 > 0:12:18It's good.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23The Falcons unable to find a way through.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25The Eagles have defeated the Atlanta Falcons.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28They are one win away from the Super Bowl.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, Osi, it surprised a lot of people, did that result, despite
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Philadelphia being the number one seeds.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yeah, I mean, everybody really thought Atlanta was going to
0:12:35 > 0:12:38go up there and beat them because of the way they played
0:12:38 > 0:12:40against Los Angeles Rams, and because the
0:12:40 > 0:12:47Philadelphia Eagles had lost their quarterback.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I thought, for sure, Philly would be the first number one
0:12:49 > 0:12:52seed out and proved me wrong. Outstanding, outstanding play by
0:12:52 > 0:12:53their defense.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Even offensively they did what they needed to do to get
0:12:55 > 0:12:57the win.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Offensively they kept it simple, but defensively, which has
0:12:59 > 0:13:01been such a strength of those all season,
0:13:01 > 0:13:02they've delivered again.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Absolutely, they've got great pressure, they stopped the run.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Coleman got a little loose but ultimately
0:13:05 > 0:13:07they were dominant on
0:13:07 > 0:13:08defense.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Let's show you how the playoffs look now.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Number one seeds Philadelphia, number two seeds
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Minnesota.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15They meet in Philadelphia tomorrow for the right to go to the
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Super Bowl in a couple of weeks' time.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22How do you see this matchup?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25This is what you're going to call old-fashioned bloodbath, a slugfest.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Two outstanding defenses, I mean, they're not going to allow anything
0:13:28 > 0:13:31to go on back there.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34But I like the Philadelphia Eagles in this football game.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35I really do.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I know Minnesota has done all the right things,
0:13:38 > 0:13:39they had a miracle last week.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42But Minnesota's going to have to travel to Philadelphia.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's going to be cold, the grass...
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I know it's cold in Minnesota but they play indoors.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Outside's going to be a completely different game.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51That Philadelphia defensive line is outstanding.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55They're going to get after Case Keenum.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58You know we don't agree. OK, cool.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So first of all, you're right, great defenses, right?
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Both these defenses attack, they pressure,
0:14:02 > 0:14:03they do that well.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04So that can almost eliminate...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07They can almost eliminate each other.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09This game is about quarterbacks.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13And Nick Foles does not perform well under pressure.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14But Case Keenum does.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Case Keenum does well under pressure,
0:14:17 > 0:14:19and he can create plays with his footwork.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22This is going to be about whose quarterback player is better
0:14:22 > 0:14:24and I'm going with Case Keenum.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Well, you're entitled to your own opinion.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Thank you. I mean, I'm 100% OK with that.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34In my opinion Philadelphia Eagles have the advantage,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37they are at home, they have the better running game,
0:14:37 > 0:14:38they have better receivers.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Nick Foles can play any team...
0:14:39 > 0:14:41You said Philly has better receivers?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Yes. Absolutely. You're talking about...
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Minnesota has the best combination in the league.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51I feel like Smith, Nelson Agholor and Alshon Jeffery and I feel
0:14:51 > 0:14:54like those three are better than the Minnesota Vikings receivers.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58No way!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01All Philadelphia has to do is count the ball, play action pass,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04play great defense at home I think Philly could pull this one off.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Mike Zimmer, the Minnesota head coach, has been very, very keen
0:15:08 > 0:15:10this week to point out, as soon as that win
0:15:10 > 0:15:14over New Orleans happened, business as usual,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18back in training, watching tape, working on the Eagles.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22You're shaking your head already, you know what I'm going to say here.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26It's surely going to take them a little while to come down off
0:15:26 > 0:15:28such a ridiculous high as beating the Saints
0:15:28 > 0:15:30and get themselves ready to go again, isn't it?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33It's going to be almost impossible for them to
0:15:33 > 0:15:36get themselves back ready to play, simply because of the way
0:15:36 > 0:15:36they won this football game.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Put yourself in that particular situation -
0:15:38 > 0:15:41you win a game that, in your head, you're thinking you could lose,
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and it's like a miracle happened out there.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47All of a sudden, you go from an incredible high to now having to
0:15:47 > 0:15:49get back to play another game on the football field.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I think it's going to be really difficult for them to do.
0:15:52 > 0:15:53And that doesn't help you?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56When you got the luck on your side and you don't care what's happening,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00that you can turn the game at any time, that doesn't help you?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I don't think so. Two times a world champion?!
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Not in this situation. Come on!
0:16:03 > 0:16:04We want that luck, baby.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Just to confirm, your choice? Minnesota!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Just to confirm. Philadelphia.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12# Fly, Eagles, fly!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Serious?! That is how bad I want them to win!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18I have to say, they didn't agree in that chat.
0:16:18 > 0:16:19To the AFC.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Now, last week the Jacksonville Jaguars travelled to Pittsburgh
0:16:22 > 0:16:24to play the Steelers.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The young pretenders against the old guard,
0:16:27 > 0:16:33the sofa was very much divided on who would win this game.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Jason went Steelers, because the Jaguars can't score any points.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Can they, Jason?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39That is a rhetorical question, by the way!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41And Osi went Jaguars because, well, as I think you've just seen,
0:16:41 > 0:16:47he wanted to put Jason back in his place.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The Jacksonville Jaguars at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54The Jaguars renowned as stoppers.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Leonard Fournette as a finisher.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58And again.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02And TJ Yeldon, the Jaguars' giants of offense.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Let's go!
0:17:04 > 0:17:06The Steelers, the comebacks of comebacks.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09It's caught, Antonio Brown!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But no, Smith could keep the Jaguars 20 points ahead.
0:17:12 > 0:17:19Then Le'Veon Bell, a glimmer, extinguished by Fournette's third.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Touchdown Jacksonville!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25A knock-about spree of touchdowns - but too late.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31And Jacksonville has defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34It's hugely important for you to know that we don't rehearse
0:17:34 > 0:17:36this show, so I'm slightly concerned about what might be
0:17:36 > 0:17:38coming here, because now you got this prediction right,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I was expecting you in a leotard and somersaulting and cartwheels,
0:17:41 > 0:17:43probably a huge insurance bill for me as well!
0:17:43 > 0:17:48So what are you about to do?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51I was going to do that, but unfortunately I was in Brixton,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I played some five-a-side soccer, I got my ankle injured,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56I can't do the flips or nothing.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01But it's important for us to know, Mark, over the last couple of years
0:18:01 > 0:18:04that on this show there is somebody who is usually always right,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07and you always got to listen to that guy,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11you always got to listen to the king.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14And so from here on out, from this show...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I'm going to wear my wife's crown!
0:18:17 > 0:18:20That's legit!
0:18:20 > 0:18:22It's extremely important that you listen to me
0:18:22 > 0:18:23from here on out, Mark, OK?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Because when the king talks, you listen.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Now, what we're saying about the Jacksonville Jaguars
0:18:28 > 0:18:29and the Pittsburgh Steelers?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33First of all, don't look in my eyes, cos I'm the king, look down!
0:18:33 > 0:18:35You look down when we're speaking!
0:18:35 > 0:18:37What were you saying about the Jacksonville Jaguars
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and the Pittsburgh Steelers?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Since you are the king, I don't want anything...
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Please, no more speaking.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46You're now permitted to ask me some questions, Mark.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Can I look you in the eye? Do I need to...?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Yes, please.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54I can't believe that I'm doing this!
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Why do you think Jacksonville did beat Pittsburgh, then?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Hear ye, hear ye!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03You can look at me, you can look at me.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09The Jacksonville Jaguars have what we know as confidence and swagger.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10They actually beat Pittsburgh before,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14and they felt like they go into here and win again.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Pittsburgh made an outstanding play now, but they had to
0:19:16 > 0:19:18make some incredible catches, and the Jacksonville Jaguars
0:19:18 > 0:19:21were too tough, playing audibles.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25The Goat all of a sudden doing what he needed to do,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I mean I really love the way this team is playing.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Two things - first of all, can I get up?
0:19:30 > 0:19:36Because otherwise somebody is going to have to carry me out.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39But you can no longer look me my eye.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Secondly, is that the crown that your wife won Miss Universe with?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Yes, absolutely, absolutely. This is the exact crown.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46How did you get that out of the house?!
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Are you talking to me?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49You're not allowed to speak to me right now!
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Osi obviously knows he is the king of predictions.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55However, if you can go higher than a king, which I don't
0:19:55 > 0:19:59know what that would be - a god, probably - just watch this.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02This is Calais Cambell last week after Jacksonville
0:20:02 > 0:20:06had beaten Buffalo, before they went to play Pittsburgh.
0:20:06 > 0:20:12We're trying to just win it where we can,
0:20:12 > 0:20:14you know, one play at a time, you know, execute,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17but I'll tell you, 2-0, if it comes that way,
0:20:17 > 0:20:20or 45-42, if it comes that way, as long as we win, I'm happy.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22What a prediction, what a prediction!
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Who knew? Who knew?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I knew. You knew!
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Calais, we will send you the crown.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33We might even give it to you if we see you at the Super Bowl!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Now, the other game in the AFC divisional round
0:20:35 > 0:20:38saw the Tennessee Titans at the New England Patriots.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40The Titans had come off the upset of the previous
0:20:40 > 0:20:42round with their comeback against the Chiefs,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44so could lightning strike twice?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Not if the man with a face like thunder,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Bill Belichick, could help it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Welcome to Foxboro's Gillette Stadium
0:20:52 > 0:20:56for this 2018 divisional playoff.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59The wild-card Titans at the reigning Super Bowl champions.
0:20:59 > 0:21:05All positive!
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Looks, fires, touchdown Titans!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Corey Davis, one-handed.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Another upset.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It is a shovel pass, in motion on the left,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18touchdown Patriots!
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Brady with the give to James White, and he dives toward the goal line!
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Second touchdown of the night for James White!
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Five touchdowns later, the answer - a resounding no.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Nothing but another declaration of Patriot power.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37He is a freaking cyborg!
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Do you think anybody had any doubts there might be a shock
0:21:41 > 0:21:45when Tennessee scored first? No, I don't think so.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I think if you know anything about the New England Patriots, man,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51they weather all kinds of storms, and you saw them do that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Tennessee scored first, but they just throttled their candy man,
0:21:53 > 0:21:55got after the quarterback, outstanding performance by
0:21:55 > 0:21:57the New England Patriots' defense.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00So once again, we'll show you just exactly how the AFC looks
0:22:00 > 0:22:03for the championship game.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Well, we've talked a lot about Jacksonville's defense,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19but now that they have a devastating offense led by Blake "Balling"
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Bortles, Osi is going to take a look at the Patriots' defense,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24which as you may remember, was not great at the start
0:22:24 > 0:22:26of the season, was it, Osi?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Not at all, man, and when you discuss the New England Patriots,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32most of the discussion about this team will centre around this guy,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35and rightfully so, cos he is an outstanding football player.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38But the reason for the recent resurgence hasn't been
0:22:38 > 0:22:41all about Tom Brady - it has been the outstanding
0:22:41 > 0:22:44team defense these guys play, and I want to take you through
0:22:44 > 0:22:47a couple of plays that these guys were able to make
0:22:47 > 0:22:49against the Tennessee Titans. Check this out.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Now, first of all, run defense.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54What you're going to see is James Harrison on the edge,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and what you have to do if you're going to play good
0:22:57 > 0:22:59run defense is set the edge.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02You cannot allow the running back to get to the outside of you.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04He is going to execute this to perfection.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Check this out right here.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08He's going to be right here, he's going to try to block
0:23:08 > 0:23:11by the tight end, and he's going to push the tight end
0:23:11 > 0:23:12all the way into the backfield.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Watch that, boom!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Knocks him back, the running back has no way to get to the outside,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19he now has to cut the ball into the inside, where James
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Harrison's friends are waiting.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Outstanding team defense by the New England Patriots.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Now, last but not least, you're going to see
0:23:27 > 0:23:29what's called team defense, gap control defense,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31which is something that the New England Patriots
0:23:31 > 0:23:35apply to perfection right here, check this out.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Now, right here, they're going to try and
0:23:38 > 0:23:41run the ball downhill with Henry.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44And I want you to look right here, look at that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47All the gaps are covered, he has absolutely nowhere to run.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48So what does he have to do now?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51He has to bounce the ball to the outside,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54and that is not what you want to do against the New England Patriots,
0:23:54 > 0:23:56because they have speed at the cornerback position,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58they will chase him down and get the ballcarrier down,
0:23:58 > 0:24:00another outstanding display of team defense
0:24:00 > 0:24:01by the New England Patriots.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03And quite frankly, if they're going to be able
0:24:03 > 0:24:06to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, they're going to have
0:24:06 > 0:24:08to stop Leonard Fournette, they're going to have to do this
0:24:08 > 0:24:11over and over again, otherwise they're not going to be
0:24:11 > 0:24:12able to win this game.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14And as Osi comes back to join us,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17do you see it as another defensive battle, this game?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Yeah, absolutely, because just like Osi was saying,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21they're going to have to stop the running game
0:24:21 > 0:24:22of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24And that whole line has gotten better in the playoffs,
0:24:24 > 0:24:28so they're going to have to have gap control defense to be successful.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Do you both think that this, in many ways, is a harder game
0:24:32 > 0:24:36for New England than it would have been if they'd played Pittsburgh?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38No question about that, man, this is a bad matchup
0:24:38 > 0:24:39for the New England Patriots.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43I'm not saying the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to win this game,
0:24:43 > 0:24:46but this is going to be a much tougher game
0:24:46 > 0:24:48than most people are going to give these guys credit for.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Jacksonville is so athletic on defense, they match up everywhere
0:24:51 > 0:24:54with the New England Patriots, and on offense they can run
0:24:54 > 0:24:56the ball, they are going to play smash-mouth football,
0:24:56 > 0:24:57should be a very good game.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00I'm going to either put a statement or a question here
0:25:00 > 0:25:02which gives you the chance to talk about your favourite subject,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06which is of course yourself.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09So when you look at Jacksonville against Brady and Jacksonville
0:25:09 > 0:25:12against the Patriots' offense, if they can get to Brady quickly,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and they cover the various options in the backfield,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17that is the way to beat them -
0:25:17 > 0:25:23is that how you beat them in the Super Bowl?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Oh, no question, we had outstanding defensive linemen,
0:25:25 > 0:25:26and we rushed the passer relentlessly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29That is the only way you can beat the New England Patriots.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31You're not going to get into a coaching battle
0:25:31 > 0:25:33with Bill Belichick, because you're going to lose
0:25:33 > 0:25:34that battle every time.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Physically, you have to defeat the guy in front, and I'm not sure
0:25:38 > 0:25:40the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to be able to do that
0:25:40 > 0:25:41against New England. Blake Bortles?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Blake Bortles, man, I tell you what, he's finding his own way.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46The man has had everybody, everywhere doubting him,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49saying this is the guy that is holding you back,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51and all he's done is went out there and won the game.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54And that is ultimately what you have to do.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57My level of respect for the man that Blake Bortles is
0:25:57 > 0:26:00has gone from I don't even know where he was to all the way up.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm not going to say this guy is the best quarterback,
0:26:03 > 0:26:05he's this and he's that, but what he's done is,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07week and week out, every single week, myself included,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10talked down about him, said bad things about him.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13He's put all that behind him and has continued to go out
0:26:13 > 0:26:17there and win games for his team. You have to give this man credit.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18All right, predictions, you go first!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Going with New England. Jacksonville.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24You're a brave man. Jacksonville Jaguars.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Is that just so you can wear that again next week?No!
0:26:28 > 0:26:30No, listen, New England obviously should win this game,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34but there's something about the way the Jacksonville Jaguars,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36this entire season, man, this isn't going to be an easy matchup,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40so I'm going to go with Jacksonville here.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42OK, before we go, just got time to show you
0:26:42 > 0:26:45some of the plays of the week, and there are plenty
0:26:45 > 0:26:47for us to take a look at.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Look at this from Corey Davis of the Titans,
0:26:49 > 0:26:53an amazing one-handed grab against the Patriots.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I tell you what, Malcolm Mitchell better be ready next week,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58cos they are going to go at him.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It wasn't Drew Brees's day in the air, but this was a great
0:27:01 > 0:27:03catch from Alvin Kamara, falling away to take
0:27:03 > 0:27:05that one from Breeze.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07-- Brees.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12The Jags force a fumble here on Ben Roethlisberger,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14and then look at the pace of Telvin Smith.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Man, his speed just went up on all the video games!
0:27:18 > 0:27:21R2 on the controller is the way to move like that!
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Leonard Fournette went airborne for a Jags touchdown.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Big man! He had a good game, didn't he?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yes, he did. He had a very good game.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35This is an amazing play from Nick Foles, if he meant it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Torrey Smith catching that pass after it bounced
0:27:37 > 0:27:41off Keanu Neal's knee!
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Keanu Neil better get with the jump machine this offseason,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46cos I tell you what, he's thinking about that one.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Another Leonard Fournette play coming up as he bulldozes
0:27:50 > 0:27:52into the Steelers' defense, and his own line give him
0:27:52 > 0:27:57a hand on the way. We call that weight room.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Look at the bodies involved in that!
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Adam Thielen climbing the ladder here for a spectacular grab.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07My man Thielen, he got a pass interference
0:28:07 > 0:28:09and a holding on the same play and caught the ball.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10I've never seen that happen.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Got two flags!
0:28:13 > 0:28:17A couple of congratulatory pats on his bottom as well!
0:28:17 > 0:28:19And we had to end with this, didn't we?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Unless you are a New Orleans Saints fan, you don't tire of seeing
0:28:23 > 0:28:24that from Stefon Diggs.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29We are back on Tuesday with NFL This Week, when we will be
0:28:29 > 0:28:31bringing you highlights from both tomorrow's conference games.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34That is BBC Two at 11:15.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37But from myself, Jason and the king, it is good night.
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Did I pick Jacksonville?
0:28:38 > 0:28:43I picked Jacksonville.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Ten seconds to go, 24-23 Saints.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Let's go.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Caught by Diggs!
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Oh, it got loose!
0:28:53 > 0:28:56At the 30, ten, touchdown!
0:28:56 > 0:29:00It's a Minneapolis miracle!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02One of the most amazing finishes in the history
0:29:02 > 0:29:05of the National Football League.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10One step from returning to Minneapolis for Super Bowl LII.
