0:00:05 > 0:00:09And it will be time for these two teams to settle it between the white
0:00:09 > 0:00:11lines.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13He's going to fire towards the end zone.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Montana throw.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Touchdown.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Rodgers looking downfield.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22The one-man wrecking crew.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Unbelievable.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Let's go!
0:00:25 > 0:00:26How did he do that?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27In the end zone.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Caught!
0:00:28 > 0:00:33Unstoppable.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Welcome to the NFL show.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38I'd like to start tonight with an apology.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43Over the last couple of years we have, for our own childish
0:00:43 > 0:00:47amusement, made fun of a team that has only tried to do its best.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49The fact that one win in their last 22
0:00:49 > 0:00:52pitiful games is their best is irrelevant.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54The Cleveland Browns, I am sorry, we are sorry.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56And I'm not saying this because the Browns are
0:00:56 > 0:00:59in town.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02I am saying it, though, because they've sent their mascot,
0:01:02 > 0:01:07that has teeth, real teeth, to keep us in check.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11And I am so scared, so scared of dogs.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13And Jason, for goodness' sake, just stay between me
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and that dog for the next half-hour.
0:01:16 > 0:01:23Anyhow, on tonight's celebration of the Cleveland Browns...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We will be looking ahead to their game against
0:01:25 > 0:01:26the Minnesota Vikings in Twickenham.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29This game will no doubt kick-start their run to the playoffs.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31We'll bring you highlights from Thursday's
0:01:31 > 0:01:33game between the AFC rivals Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Incidentally, two teams that got thumped while in London this year.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Sorry?
0:01:39 > 0:01:42We'll look ahead to this weekend's fixtures, which will, of
0:01:42 > 0:01:48course, include the Browns and Vikings.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I'll try and keep my voice at its right octave for the whole
0:01:51 > 0:01:52half hour.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54We'll have all the big stories from week seven.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Get him!
0:01:55 > 0:01:56LAUGHTERThanks guys.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Thanks, gals.
0:01:57 > 0:02:07Make me look fat today, I don't care.
0:02:07 > 0:02:08Heavy run, heavy run.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Passed the ball.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Move right, move right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Ooh!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Oooooh!
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I crossed my leg over like...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18You look so handsome.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Thank you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21O God, that was a good one.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So we were going to start the show with
0:02:24 > 0:02:26a celebration of Cleveland's first win of the season.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28They played Tennessee last Sunday, and all was
0:02:28 > 0:02:30looking promising, but then they said, no, we'll save those
0:02:30 > 0:02:38celebrations for Osi and Jason next week in London.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So like the gentlemen they are, they blew it in
0:02:41 > 0:02:42overtime.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43So...
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Good dog.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That gives us a chance to show you highlights
0:02:46 > 0:02:48from Monday night's game between NFC East
0:02:48 > 0:02:49divisional rivals, the
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52These two met in week one with the Eagles coming
0:02:52 > 0:02:54out on top.
0:02:54 > 0:03:00However, both teams have only lost once since that day.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Both to the Chiefs by the way.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04A win for either would change the look of this
0:03:04 > 0:03:05division quite dramatically.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Oh my God...
0:03:11 > 0:03:16Has a man wide-open.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Thompson will walk into the end zone.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Touchdown Washington.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Who covers Chris Thompson on this first rout
0:03:22 > 0:03:24across the formation?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Touchdown Washington.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29He took a beating in the win at Carolina a week ago,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Thursday, sacked three times, hit eight other times.
0:03:31 > 0:03:38Really earned the respect of his team-mates.
0:03:38 > 0:03:46Deep ball.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47A man behind.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48It's caught for a touchdown.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50The rookie, Hollins, with his first career
0:03:50 > 0:03:51touchdown.
0:03:51 > 0:03:5264 yards.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Big adjustment to the line of scrimmage.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55In the flat.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Nice move.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58And Zach Ertz gets Philadelphia's first lead of the
0:03:58 > 0:03:59night.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00The flat rout.
0:04:00 > 0:04:10Beats him to the catch with open field running.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Recommended by Blair Thomas, former outstanding Penn State football
0:04:15 > 0:04:16player.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Really proud of these guys.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Nelson Agholor, the catch, in the 1st down.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Jason Peters, pro bowl left tackle now holding his right
0:04:23 > 0:04:25knee.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Reason for concern for coach Peterson.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28Time out.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Let's go back and look at the play in which he got
0:04:30 > 0:04:32hurt.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33You can see his right knee.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35This is a huge loss for the Eagles.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41And for football.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44This man, 35 years old, not many better guys than Jason
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Peters.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47From the 9-yard line.
0:04:47 > 0:04:52Wentz, stays on his feet.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Get it off.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's a touchdown.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Cory Clement, the rookie out of Wisconsin.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03How does he get away from all these free rushers
0:05:03 > 0:05:07and make throws like that?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Rod Kelly the running back for the Redskins.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14On 1st & goal from inside the five.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Quick slam to Jordan Reed for a Washington touchdown.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19That's impressive.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Lined up as if they're coming after him, and they do.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23And he's in trouble.
0:05:23 > 0:05:31Oooooh!
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Wentz will be escaping from the 18-yard line.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35How in the world did that happen?
0:05:35 > 0:05:371st down onto the 44-yard line.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38What's he done?
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Where did he go?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Amazing.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Inside fake, and another touchdown.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Fourth of the night thrown by Wentz, this one to Nelson Agholor.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Coming up on 300 yards for the night.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56294.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59He fires one for Reed, who launches into the end zone.
0:05:59 > 0:06:06Touchdown Washington.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09No more room left on the Wentz wagon here in Philadelphia.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15It is completely full.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, the Eagles move to six and one and have the
0:06:18 > 0:06:20best record in the NFL after seven weeks.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Carson Wentz is absolutely outstanding.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26So it's time to give some credit, isn't it?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Yes, absolutely.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Now, first of all, I'm standing up here and I'm
0:06:32 > 0:06:35boiling inside, because not only do I have to talk about a quarterback,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I've got to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39I've got to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Oh my goodness gracious, look what I've been
0:06:41 > 0:06:42reduced to.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43But nevertheless, this man's balling.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46And the way he's doing it is, the thing that separates him
0:06:46 > 0:06:49from most other quarterbacks, is what we like to call pocket
0:06:49 > 0:06:50awareness.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53I want you to take a look at this man's pocket awareness right
0:06:53 > 0:06:54here.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55What is the pocket, first of all?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57This is what is known as the pocket.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00And the way a quarterback operates within the pocket is what
0:07:00 > 0:07:03separates the good from the bad and the average from the great, and
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Carson Wentz is playing out of his mind right now.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Take him out right now, this is going to be a clean
0:07:08 > 0:07:11pocket, there's going to be nobody in his vicinity.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And look at what this man does.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Just let it go all the way down the field.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That is an incredible throw by Carson Wentz.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Look how difficult this is, look at him.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Scanning the field, taking the shots deep.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26An incredible play by that man.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Great pocket awareness, getting the ball down to the
0:07:28 > 0:07:31receiver that he needs to get the ball down to.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Now, let me take you through what this man does when
0:07:33 > 0:07:35chaos is around him.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Now, the pressure is going to come, you can
0:07:38 > 0:07:40see them from all directions come through here.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Look at him, look at him running, escaping like Harry
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Houdini, that is an incredible play by him, you can't even understand
0:07:45 > 0:07:52how difficult that is.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54What began as the pocket collapses on him.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55He has nowhere to go.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Absolutely yes he does, he goes right through the
0:07:57 > 0:08:00middle for an incredible play for the Philadelphia Eagles.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02This young man is a tremendous quarterback in
0:08:02 > 0:08:03the NFL right now.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Last but not least, check him out right here.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Now, it's not only about being able to run when the pocket collapses,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10can you see your receivers downfield?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Watch what this man does right here, watch this incredible
0:08:12 > 0:08:13play.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Now, you are going to see again the pocket is going to
0:08:16 > 0:08:19collapse on him, the Redskins are trying to get him, but no, he has
0:08:19 > 0:08:20the presence of mind to still look downfield.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23the presence of mind to still look downfield.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You are going to see at the other end right here.
0:08:26 > 0:08:33The pocket is collapsing on him, he ducks and
0:08:33 > 0:08:35still looks downfield and gets the ball to
0:08:35 > 0:08:36the receiver down the field.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39This is something that looks easy but it is incredibly difficult to
0:08:39 > 0:08:40do.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I'm going to repeat, this is something that looks easy,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44but it is incredibly difficult to do.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Kind of like being president of the United
0:08:46 > 0:08:47States.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50LAUGHTERI mean it looks easy but it's an
0:08:50 > 0:08:53incredibly difficult thing to do, especially when all of a sudden
0:08:53 > 0:08:54you're like, I can't get legislation passed,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I can't do this, I can't do
0:08:56 > 0:08:58that, so what am I going to do?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00I'm going to blame these guys right
0:09:00 > 0:09:01here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02It's the NFL's fault.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Don't look here, look right here.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04I mean, this is...
0:09:04 > 0:09:05What was I talking about?
0:09:05 > 0:09:06oh yeah, Carson Wentz...
0:09:06 > 0:09:08The incredible quarterback for the Philadelphia
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Eagles getting it done.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Shall we stick with Carson Wentz?
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Let's not go back to the President of the United States.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15The clips that Osi showed us there demonstrated
0:09:15 > 0:09:16versatility, movement, pocket awareness, strength, arms.
0:09:16 > 0:09:24He looks to have everything at the moment.
0:09:25 > 0:09:32And see what that is really doing is it's changing the locker room.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Now guys think, man, we got a guy who
0:09:34 > 0:09:37can win any way.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39His presence in the locker room, is made those guys
0:09:39 > 0:09:41believers, which will make them dangerous.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43And this is only his second year, we shouldn't forget
0:09:43 > 0:09:45that, as quarterback for the Eagles.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Second year and he came from a small school.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50You don't see quarterbacks who come from a small school make
0:09:50 > 0:09:53the leap the way this man has done so far.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56He is playing beyond his years, he's been able to, he's doing
0:09:56 > 0:09:59things that only quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers are able to
0:09:59 > 0:10:01do and he's only in his second year in the NFL.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Right then, here's what else happened in week seven.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I was talking to my step dad last night,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09he's a two time recipient of the purple heart, right?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11He said his team-mates were never scared about
0:10:11 > 0:10:13dying, you know what they were scared about?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Letting their team-mate down.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Curtain up on the big rematch.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22The Atlanta Falcons at the New England Patriots.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Down with the fog.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Not quite the epic Super Bowl of last season.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30The Patriots too far ahead.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36Take that one, stick it in your ear!
0:10:36 > 0:10:38The Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Buffalo Bills.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Tyrod Taylor running the show into overtime.
0:10:40 > 0:10:48And the Bills into field goal range.
0:10:50 > 0:10:57The New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00They let Aaron Jones take the heat off Brett Hundley
0:11:00 > 0:11:05and a passing game, too, to see the Saints home.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08The Carolina Panthers running into the Chicago Bears' trap.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Oh, wrong person, wrong person.
0:11:10 > 0:11:18I thought you was him.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Newton, a recurring theme.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Or worse, points yielded.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Mean Bears, winning Bears.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24The Tennessee Titans at the Cleveland Browns.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27More quarterback trouble for the Browns.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29What's he doing?
0:11:29 > 0:11:33To kick it over time to leave the Browns without a win.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36A touch of rivalry in the NFC West.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41The Arizona Cardinals at LA Rams.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43A second-quarter surge with Todd Gurley out there.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45The Rams up there, leaders of the division.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49What we say goes, don't ever count us out.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53The New York Jets at the Miami Dolphins
0:11:53 > 0:11:55and much more leading fourth-quarter revival,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56all the way to victory.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Matt Moore is on fire.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06The Denver Broncos at the LA Chargers.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Travis Benjamin finding open space, wide-open space.
0:12:07 > 0:12:15The charge of the Chargers.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16Cincinnati Bengals at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Antonio Brown.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Good job, guys, good start.
0:12:20 > 0:12:30Strength in the Steelers.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So here are all the results from week seven.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Some of the ones maybe you didn't see.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38A big win for Minnesota at home to Baltimore.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41They are doing well in the NFC North.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Jacksonville Jaguars produced an incredibly impressive defensive
0:12:43 > 0:12:45performance to shut out the Colts in Indianapolis.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Dallas trashing San Francisco 49ers as well.
0:12:46 > 0:12:56By 40 points to ten.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59As far as the standings are concerned, well, the
0:12:59 > 0:13:02As far as the standings are concerned, well, the
0:13:02 > 0:13:05three teams in the east, in the AFC, have winning records.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07The Steelers are the only ones with the winning
0:13:07 > 0:13:08record in the AFC North.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Still tight in the AFC South, and Kansas City
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Chiefs have now lost two on the spin and five and two, but they still
0:13:14 > 0:13:15lead the AFC West.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17In the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles, as
0:13:17 > 0:13:20we've been talking about, very, very impressive.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Confirmation that Minnesota Vikings top the NFC North.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24All to play for in the NFC South.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26But the same tower won four on the spin to go
0:13:26 > 0:13:28top of that division.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29And the Rams and the Seahawks are two
0:13:29 > 0:13:34teams with winning records in the NFC West.
0:13:34 > 0:13:34teams with winning records in the NFC West.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And if you're looking for extended highlights and analysis of
0:13:37 > 0:13:39the best of those games, then you can find them
0:13:39 > 0:13:42on our Tuesday show, NFL this week, which is on the
0:13:42 > 0:13:43iPlayer right now.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Let's take a look at a few of these.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Atlanta at the moment appear to be falling apart.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Struggling.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52I mean offensively, I didn't know that the loss of their
0:13:52 > 0:13:55offensive coordinator, Shanahan, to San Francisco, was going to have
0:13:55 > 0:13:56this much of an impact.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59Is that what you put it down to?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Of course, because offensively they looked like
0:14:01 > 0:14:04a shell of themselves, man, they are not doing any of the things
0:14:04 > 0:14:06they were able to do last year, they just
0:14:06 > 0:14:09look cute right now.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11--Putrid.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13What happens is when you're getting a new fence,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16right, you get all the nuances, you've got to kind of learn again.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17You don't feel comfortable.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19And you can see that timing is off.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21That's an interesting thing because that
0:14:21 > 0:14:23was an offense that delivered so much for them under Shanahan.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25And they've got all the same weapons still.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27We've discussed that many times across the shows.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29So if you are the new offensive coordinator,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31surely you go in and just don't change anything?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34It's a matter of pride for these guys, and this guy
0:14:34 > 0:14:36probably thought to himself, OK, I saw
0:14:36 > 0:14:37what Kyle Shanahan did, but I could
0:14:37 > 0:14:39probably do it better.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40He was wrong!
0:14:40 > 0:14:42He's going out there and they have not delivered.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44He's trying to do the same thing.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I mean, they said they were going to do it but remember,
0:14:47 > 0:14:49he sees the game differently than Kyle Shanahan did.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53If you were on that offense, would you be going to the offensive
0:14:54 > 0:14:57coordinator and say, listen, we've got to go back to how
0:14:57 > 0:14:58we were doing this last season?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59Wouldn't you?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02You would do that but it took them a couple of years
0:15:02 > 0:15:04with Kyle Shanahan to get some rhythm, so it's just
0:15:04 > 0:15:06what happens with new offenses.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's going to take a while for them to fully click under this guy
0:15:09 > 0:15:11but in all honesty they have all the weapons.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14They have a great quarterback, great receivers, a great running back.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16I mean, they should be able to figure this out
0:15:16 > 0:15:17as the season goes along.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Where are Pittsburgh now?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21We seem to have different conversations about the Steelers
0:15:21 > 0:15:22each week depending on whether they win
0:15:22 > 0:15:23or whether they lose.
0:15:23 > 0:15:24They beat the Bengals.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Are they just doing enough at the moment?
0:15:26 > 0:15:27No, they're back.
0:15:27 > 0:15:28They're back?
0:15:28 > 0:15:29OK.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31First of all, defensively they have the number
0:15:31 > 0:15:33one pass defense, OK, so they're controlling that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Le'Veon Bell running the rock, that's what they do well.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I will give you that, Le'Veon Bell is ballin'
0:15:38 > 0:15:40but to say they're back, I'm not so sure.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Like you said, they're winning but it seems that
0:15:42 > 0:15:44they're just squeaking by, doesn't seem like they're winning
0:15:44 > 0:15:45in emphatic fashion.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48That's the league right now, squeak by and win some games.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49That's all that matters.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yeah, if they can do that, then that might be enough,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53really, in that division.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Until they run into a really good team.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57We're not thinking about now, we're thinking about the playoffs.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Once you go up against a really good football team in the playoffs,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02like Kansas City, who they've already beaten, New England
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Patriots, if they run into those teams they're
0:16:04 > 0:16:05going to be in problems.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I mention the New Orleans Saints and how they're on this run.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Are you surprised by that?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I'm surprised at the turnaround but we knew the issue
0:16:12 > 0:16:14was their defensive backfield and they've got this rookie,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Marshon Lattimore, who is ballin' right now at corner.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19They needed to step up with that defensive backfield, and they have.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22We don't know about their offense, we don't know about Drew
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Brees and Sean Payton, what they can do offensively.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29Defensively is where they have struggled
0:16:29 > 0:16:31for the last couple of years.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Seem to have turned everything around over these
0:16:33 > 0:16:34past couple of games.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36If they can keep this up defensively, they're
0:16:36 > 0:16:37going to be a scary team.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39OK, we're going to bring you highlights now of last
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Thursday's game between the Miami Dolphins and
0:16:41 > 0:16:42the Baltimore Ravens.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Going into this game, Miami had a record of four and two.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48But they'd scored the least amount of points in the entirely.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Are we going to do the gap?
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Even Cleveland have scored more!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53They've had a wildly unpredictable first six games.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55They lost their quarterback, Ryan Tannehill in preseason,
0:16:55 > 0:16:56and was injured.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57They brought in Jay Cutler.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Some people on this sofa thought he was going to lead them
0:17:00 > 0:17:01to the land of milk and honey!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Wins here, there and everywhere!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Not quite panned out like that but that offense
0:17:05 > 0:17:06is going to struggle because they haven't
0:17:06 > 0:17:09got their quarterback, so it takes time to integrate
0:17:09 > 0:17:10the new quarterback, yes?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yes, but like Osie said, about the defense, the formula is,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15you've got to play good defense or run the ball or have
0:17:15 > 0:17:18a good quarterback.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20And they've done better when Jay Cutler's been injured
0:17:20 > 0:17:22and Matt Moore has done quite well for them.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23We don't know that!
0:17:23 > 0:17:24We don't know that, Mark!
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Come on, man, we don't know that.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Evidence would suggest the contrary, but anyhow!
0:17:28 > 0:17:29To the highlights.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30Miami Dolphins against the Baltimore Ravens
0:17:30 > 0:17:33at the M&T Bank Stadium.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36COMMENTATOR: Javorius Allen comes in.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Empty backfield.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Third and four.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39Deep ball.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42And it's caught!
0:17:42 > 0:17:43And it's a touchdown for Jeremy Maclin.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Always a beautiful deep ball thrower, Flacco,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50and that's the third touchdown of the season for Maclin,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52who had missed the last two games because of a shoulder injury.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Are they glad to have him back, making a difference in the game's
0:17:55 > 0:18:00first seven minutes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Flacco rolling and rolling and running and he's got...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Whoa, the ball comes out.
0:18:05 > 0:18:12Helmet's off, flags are down.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16It was Kiko Alonso who delivered the blow.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Flacco's on his feet.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22He knows he's going down and at the end right
0:18:22 > 0:18:23there, he leans it down.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Alonso, way too aggressive.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28The quarterback's given himself up, you need to at least show
0:18:28 > 0:18:30restraint at the end of that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32And I think probably ends the night.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Look at this.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Harbaugh knows what just happened.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37He knows he probably lost his quarterback for the night
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and this guy just took a cheap shot, possibly, at him.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Look at the almost look of shock in the eyes of Flacco.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46He's going to be in the concussion protocol.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47No question, he's already been taken inside.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48Ryan Mallett is his back-up.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Personal foul, defense.
0:18:51 > 0:18:5215-yard penalty.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Automatic 1st down.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You've got to throw it, if you're Baltimore, don't you?
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Everybody in tight and they're going to roll out.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Play action, end zone, it's caught for the touchdown!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Right you are, Tony.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06It's what's on with the reception.
0:19:10 > 0:19:11It's Watson with the reception.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Mallett with the touchdown pass.
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Second time in Ravens territory.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15It's knocked down.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16No, it's intercepted by Mosley.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18He's going to score.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Morris is going to try to get him.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Trying to get the angle on him.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26And he's in, touchdown!
0:19:26 > 0:19:33CJ Mosley.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Able to outrace the quarterback.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Taking it 63 yards for the score.
0:19:37 > 0:19:391st & goal.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Allen, the running back.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Drops the football, it's in the end zone.
0:19:43 > 0:19:50And it's recovered by a Raven for a touchdown.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53That is Chris Moore.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56They're going to fumble the ball at the two.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Fortunate for Baltimore to recover.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Here comes the blitz.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03Pass away and it's picked.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Look out, here they go.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Jimmy Smith weaves it to the end zone.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13A second pick six.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15There's a cat on the field, Jim!
0:20:15 > 0:20:21It's Halloween season.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Look at this, this is how you ran in high school.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Look at that.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Perfect form, extension.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Doesn't even get fazed if there's people around.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Look at the change of direction.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Does he get both feet in at the end...?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35That's way too much fun at this point.
0:20:35 > 0:20:3840-0.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Dominating performance by the Ravens.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46So, here are the remaining fixtures for week eight.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49We'll come onto the London game between the Vikings
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and the Browns shortly.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Let's pick out a couple of others, though, first.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57A couple of divisional ones.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Let's start with the Cowboys at the Redskins, which you're
0:21:00 > 0:21:01already murmuring is too difficult to call.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04So, does that mean you don't want to talk about it?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I've got to talk about that.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Well, you have, that's your job.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09I can't leave you hanging like that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11You know how to pick the hard ones, all right.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13It's, you know, a divisional game.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15I'm happy to go with the home team on this one.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Because it's going to be so close, I'm going to go
0:21:17 > 0:21:18with the home-field advantage.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19OK.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'm going to go with the Dallas Cowboys on this one.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25If you look at the way they played last week
0:21:25 > 0:21:27against the San Francisco 49ers, who, even though they hadn't won,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29had been playing good football, they just went down there
0:21:29 > 0:21:30and destroyed them.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33So I'm going to go with the Dallas Cowboys.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Does the season rest on this game for both these two teams,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39given the Eagles are 6-1 and both Dallas and Washington are 3-3?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Does it rest, you know, whoever loses this,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43could they be out of it?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44No, no.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Because there aren't really that many strong teams in the NFC.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49They might not be able to win the division Championship,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52they might not be the NFC East champions, but they still
0:21:52 > 0:21:57have a path to get to the playoffs if they win a couple more games.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00It's still hard when you're going for the wild card spot,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02so it does make it difficult.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04This is a big game for both these teams.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06OK, let's pick another one out from this list of fixtures.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09This is Denver, who will be at Kansas City.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Is this a good time for Kansas City to play Denver,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14because they were shut out by the Chargers last week,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17the first time they haven't scored a point in a game since 1992?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Or is this a good time for Denver to play Kansas City
0:22:20 > 0:22:21because they lost the last couple?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I'd have to say it's a really bad time for the Kansas City Chiefs
0:22:24 > 0:22:26to be playing the Denver Broncos.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27Why?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Because they got shut out, they got humiliated by the Chargers
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and this is a team with a tremendous amount of talent defensively
0:22:32 > 0:22:34and a tremendous amount of pride.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Look for them to come out and try and make a statement
0:22:37 > 0:22:38against Kansas City Chiefs.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Yes, the issue is, the Pittsburgh Steelers
0:22:39 > 0:22:41put out the formula, how to beat them.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42Everybody's copying that now.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43OK.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Is that how you look at it in the locker room?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49A humiliation, if you don't get a point on the board.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50No question.
0:22:50 > 0:22:5321-0 against the Chargers, it's not like the Chargers were barn burners,
0:22:53 > 0:22:54you know what I mean?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55So, to get beaten like that, no.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Let's come on, then, to the Vikings and the Browns.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01As you can see, Cleveland Browns, 0-7.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Their quarterback situation is a real mess, isn't it?
0:23:03 > 0:23:10Yeah, it's a real mess.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13You feel sorry for anybody that has to play quarterback over there.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Not only are you put in a bad situation but when you get pulled
0:23:16 > 0:23:18out of the game like that, your team-mates lose
0:23:18 > 0:23:19confidence in you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Because you think the coaches are seeing something
0:23:22 > 0:23:25about you that isn't well, so you on that short leash, right?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I know you like leashes, by the way!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Let's not go there again!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I'm instinctively moving that way just in case that dog comes
0:23:31 > 0:23:32behind the settee again.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Oh, God!
0:23:33 > 0:23:39DeShone Kizer, though, as you say, he's been benched
0:23:39 > 0:23:41in the last two games.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I just don't, if you benched him the first game, why do
0:23:43 > 0:23:45you start him the next game?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Because psychologically he must be all over the place.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The dysfunctional franchise led by the front office all the way
0:23:50 > 0:23:53to the head coach who apparently has no clue what he's doing.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55You can't bench a rookie quarterback and then put him back
0:23:55 > 0:23:56and then bench him again.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58And the guy who you're going to isn't even
0:23:58 > 0:24:00a good football player.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02The guy who's behind him isn't a really good football player,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03so what are you doing?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07I mean, if you're going to be losing games, you might as well ride it out
0:24:07 > 0:24:08with your quarterback, DeShone Kizer.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11That's what you said at the beginning of the year,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14you said this is a developmental guy, we're going to ride out
0:24:14 > 0:24:16with him and then you totally go against your plan?
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Makes no sense.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Time to talk Vikings but before we do, we're going to catch up
0:24:20 > 0:24:22with some of Jason's "friends" who arrived in London on Friday.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Kyle Rudolph, star tight end for the Minnesota Vikings,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29what are your thoughts on the NFL and you guys playing games out here?
0:24:29 > 0:24:35I think it's awesome, there's obviously a desire in this market.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38This year, sold out four games, 75,000 here at Twickenham
0:24:38 > 0:24:45and 95,000 at Wembley, so the fans are hungry
0:24:45 > 0:24:46for American football.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49The NFC North, you guys' division, there's been an injury
0:24:49 > 0:24:52to to Aaron Rodgers but do you think your path to the playoffs
0:24:52 > 0:24:56has become a little bit easier with injury to a guy like that?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You know, obviously you hate to see a guy go down.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01But you look across the landscape of our division as a whole,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03the Bears have won two in a row.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05They're playing well and then the Lions, they made
0:25:05 > 0:25:07the playoffs last year, Matthew Stafford's
0:25:07 > 0:25:08playing extremely well.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It has the last eight years gone through Green Bay.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14We don't expect that to change.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18The Super Bowl this year, well, next year, is going to be in Minnesota.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Do you really think that the Vikings have a chance to be the first team
0:25:21 > 0:25:23to play in their home stadium?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Yeah, we want to be the first.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27You know, obviously you start every year wanting to be a world
0:25:27 > 0:25:28champion, that's our goal.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31If it's not your goal, you shouldn't be out here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34So why not do it in our home stadium?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36What would it mean to you personally?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Statistics, contracts, wins, those are all great but if you don't
0:25:38 > 0:25:41have a ring when it's all said and done, you know, that's
0:25:41 > 0:25:43the void that you'll never be able to make up.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So that's why we do this.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48And I know you said there aren't many good football teams in the NFC.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Would you say that they are one of them?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53No question about that, man.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The reason why, keep going back to this, defensively
0:25:55 > 0:25:56they are outstanding.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Great pass rushes, great defensive backs.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Offensively, Case Keenum, the quarterback, is playing a lot
0:26:00 > 0:26:02better than most people thought he would.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04So this is a team that can make some noise in NFC.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Why do you think Case Keenum's playing as well as he is?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Not a lot of pressure on him, they aren't asking him to win games.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13They're asking him not to turn the ball over.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16They're going to try and run the ball, they're going to play
0:26:16 > 0:26:18great on defense and great on special teams.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21As we know, you win two phases of the game, you can win.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Keep it simple.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Keep it simple, doesn't have to win you games.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26People are starting to mention them as possible
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Super Bowl contenders, yeah?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28I don't know about Super Bowl contenders.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Some are, some are.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31I don't know about that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I'm reading different things to you.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36They've got the formula, they've got the formula.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39We were talking about it earlier, you've got to have good defense
0:26:39 > 0:26:40and a good running game.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44The fact that Aaron Rodgers is out gives them a much closer path
0:26:44 > 0:26:45to the Super Bowl than most teams.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46So maybe.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Maybe, maybe.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Plenty of highs and lows this week.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Here they are.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55And we'll start Le'Veon Bell and that stiff arm there.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56Oh, man!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58On the Dre Kirkpatrick.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00That is disrespectful.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02But you know how he got that last name, Mark?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04You see that, that's what the deal is.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Julio Jones with that.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Julio, man.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11They didn't do enough of that, did they, the Falcons, really.
0:27:11 > 0:27:12No, no.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I am your father!
0:27:14 > 0:27:17But he snatched the ball away from Malcolm Butler.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19This is amazing from Kenny Stills.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22When I say amazing, I don't know how much of it is skill
0:27:22 > 0:27:24and how much of it is luck.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Concentration.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27That makes you sick as a DB.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I would have got fired!
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Would you?
0:27:30 > 0:27:32They would have blamed that on me.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Well.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Look at this, Mark, that's what they call getting
0:27:36 > 0:27:37thrown out of the club.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Come here without ID?
0:27:38 > 0:27:39Get out!
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Tyler Lockett getting the treatment there.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43The Panthers made a real mess of this.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Eddie Jackson, the only one who was able to pick it up.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48He had two big plays that game too.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50He did, two touchdowns for him on the day for Chicago.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52They're going to love him tonight.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54So we're going to see this from Christian McCaffery.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Grumpy old man on the sofa will say...
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Is the gloves, I keep trying to tell you.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00No way is he making that catch with bare hands.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Have you seen his daddy catch, man?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04It's impossible he's making that catch with bare hands.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Watch from this angle.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06That's not just gloves.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07That's 100% gloves.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10His dad was a great receiver, you know, he learned
0:28:10 > 0:28:11it from somewhere.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12That's skill.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13It's skill, give it to him.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Now that's skill!
0:28:14 > 0:28:15That's not skill!
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Robby Anderson relaxing in the Dolphins' seat after catching
0:28:18 > 0:28:19a touchdown for the Jets.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22This is the best celebration of the weekend.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Playing hide and seek, the Steelers.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30JuJu Smith-Schuster eventually finding him.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Those Long Beach guys.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33How much time will they have worked on that?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Unbelievable.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Here's confirmation that the big game is upon us, live on BBC Two
0:28:40 > 0:28:41tomorrow from one o'clock.
0:28:41 > 0:28:54So, from myself and Turner and Hooch, good night!
0:28:57 > 0:29:01VOICEOVER: The Dawg Pound and the Minnesota Vikings
0:29:01 > 0:29:04are on their way to London.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Scandi canine, only in the NFL!
