1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, this is Backstage Chargers presented by your Southern

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: California Toyota dealers on the Chargers podcast network. Which way

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: were beginning happy, We're going exactly, We're gonna go through

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: the video. Today, we're shooting a PSA with Keenan Allen

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: about a fatherhood involvement and we wanted to work with

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Keenan because he's way more than a football player. He's

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: a pianist, he's a musician, he's a family man, and

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: we want to talk to him about it kind of

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: how he maintains that balance and kind of illustrate his

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: great relationship with his kids. Fatherhood life chain. For me,

11
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: this is our responsibilities. Anytime they're playing music downstairs, it's loud.

12
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: Like I told you, so, I go downstairs, see what

13
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: they're doing, See what music they're doing, Go play piano downstairs.

14
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: They come, get involved. Leah has the jump set beside it,

15
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: so he's banging that sixty five in the morning. She comes,

16
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: They Daddy is still the same energy when you get

17
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: at three forty five in the afternoon. So they pretty

18
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: much my long clock. It's a good thing I don't

19
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: have to set a long clock anymore. So that's good

20
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: nickname Slayer on the field Chargers white out, Keenan Allen

21
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: takes on a much different persona outside the lines. The

22
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: father of three, he's a modern day renaissance man filling

23
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: the roles of father, musician, and Pro Bowl receiver. In

24
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, there is one wide receiver that is sticking

25
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: out and crushing it week in week out. His name's

26
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. He plays for the LA Chargers teen and

27
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: allan coming across a kid. He actually leaves the NFL

28
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: in receiving yards and receptions this year. I think he's

29
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: the best receiver in twenty nineteen so far. He deserves

30
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: his love. He's the brightest star in the NFL. On offense,

31
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: Number thirteen has taken the league by storm. In two nineteen.

32
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: On Sunday, a player who once flew under the radar

33
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: will lead at Chargers offense against a familiar division foe.

34
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: You have these premier receivers, the top guys in the league.

35
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: What'll separates Skeining from a lot of the top guys

36
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: in his league is just his competitiveness, his intelligence, and

37
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: just his toughness and his ability to run black. So

38
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: what we teach the guys is eyes tell lies, all right,

39
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: so we can look inside and get the defensive back

40
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: who's typically in a trail position to react inside, and

41
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: then we quickly speed cut outside. So trying to work

42
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: a release in line, scrammage, quick arm over, eyes tell

43
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: lies and then snaps it off just like it was

44
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: in practice, shutting down sixteen rivers and he's call works sway? Boy,

45
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: are they picking on the pro bowlers sway? You know?

46
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: Versus a premier quarter That's a heck of a play.

47
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: He's tough now right after catch, once Kenny can turn it,

48
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: face you up. This is where Keenan Allen is who

49
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: he is. There's really not much you can do. Here's

50
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna cross you over. He's gonna beat you to a spot.

51
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: There's a lateral foot quickness and he walks into the

52
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: end zone. Made it look real easy, but I can

53
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: assure you that's not easy to do against these NFL

54
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: corner backs. Rivers thought that they're rested down. You know.

55
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: He has some gifts that are sometimes supernatural, and what

56
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying to you as he's special. Alan has mastered

57
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: the craft of route running fundamentals, making him an ideal

58
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: teacher for the next generation. They passed. Off season, Alan

59
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: returned to his hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina to impart

60
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: his knowledge of the gate to aspiring athletes whose shoots

61
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: he once filled. Camp day. You know, we're going to

62
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the recreational park I grew up playing at when I

63
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: was six years old, to toil playing there. It's kind

64
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: of where I built a foundation of, you know, playing football,

65
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: feeling like I was trying to go to the NFL.

66
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: For me, growing up here, it was all sports and

67
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: that's all I did. I ain't go out and hang

68
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: out and do none of that. It was you know,

69

Speaker 1: and I had these guys coming back doing camps and

72
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: stuff like this. So, you know, just trying to get out,

Speaker 1: What does that mean to you to be able to

114
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: represent Greensborough. It's big man, Um, Like you said, Greensboro man.

115
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: We grew up here, small city man, but you know

116
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: it was everything we was growing up and now you know,

117
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: to be able to represent it and have it on

118
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: our backs and um, let me know I'm doing the

119
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: right thing, trying to be a positive role model. Hopefully

120
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: I can keep being a good look for everybody. Kenan

121
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: has come a long way from his roots in Carolina

122
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: back in Southern California. The role model from Greensboro takes

123
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: on much different responsibilities for a team preparing for their

124
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: first division. Tast's row Broncholes. You look at the secondary

125
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: in the top five pass defense in the National Football League.

126
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't I tell you about the second day? Second day?

127
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: It must be pretty damn good. Okay, And it starts

128
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: with the leader over here and Chris Harris. He's a

129
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: multiple Pro Bowl player. He would follow most teams number one,

130
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: so I expect him to be with you Kenan, Okay. Secondary,

131
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: to me, it's a strength of this defense right here.

132
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: The coach will be tight. It'll be a good challenge

133
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: for us. We expect anything less. Sunday showdown against the

134
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: rival Bronchos will pitt strength against strength. Keenan Allen, a

135
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: receiver with an elite skill set at creating separation, will

136
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: undoubtedly be the focus of the Bronchos secondary. What dog dog?

137
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: I still wait, I still wait, hey, hey hey, yes sir,

138
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh you ain't got no, I ain't got a good week?

139
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: Back a little bit more, deeplay tell that business with

140
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: AFC West bragging rights at stake. The Broncos came out

141
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: of the gate swinging baked the hand off to Lindsay

142
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: to open the game and got to tweet yards down

143
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: the field. Then Hireman has the catch at the fifty

144
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: as they now all go up them at all then

145
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: say into the secondary and down to the twenty seventh

146
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: yard line. The second and goal this season fell touchdown

147
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: on the ensuing drive, Denver added to their tally. Now

148
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: black of all kinds of time, pocket holds up in

149
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: wide open down the field is Courtland Sutton stiff farm

150
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get to the end zone. Twenty fifteen

151
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: ten touchdown. Yeah, they're at their own fourteen down fourteen,

152
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Let go right now, Let's go right now. Fellows in

153
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: an early devil digit hole, Keenan Allen and the boats

154
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: off and struggle to find the end zone against the

155
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: spirit Broncos defense steps up in the pocket, has Keenan

156
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: Allen cut for the first down and the thirty two

157
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: up for a first down to Keenan Allen. Denver's opponents

158
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: are two of two on fourth down this season, and

159
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: now they tighten it up a little bit. That bunch

160
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: formation is right bordin in the backfield, high snap toss

161
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: Heckler when the ball comes out right at the pylon,

162
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: they say touch back. He fumbled through the end zone.

163
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: I touch back. It'll be Denver with no time left,

164
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: making the stop. The Chargers third time in this young

165
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: season they've had a turnover on a goal to go situation.

166
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: What a way to close out the first half seventeen

167
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: nothing coming out of the half, the Chargers looked for

168
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: a Spark's two thousand, about thousand. King back to field

169
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: this punt at the Charger thirty five and they are

170
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: coming caught by King as a lane run back. It's

171
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: a good one by King. He put good Master against

172
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and he's gonna go to distance, comes down, shuts

173
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Desmond had a touchdown of sixty eight yards, but just

174
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: a great hesitation there and then we're gonna boom and

175
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: now the first comes in and he takes off. Let

176
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: me get some of that. Let me get something. Desmond.

177
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: King's return provided a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing afternoon.

178
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: That team came here more desperate before win, played harder outcasts.

179
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: I mean it was disappointing. We go back, we learned,

180
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: we refocus, and then we go ahead and we execute

181
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: and we work our tails off. That's the only way

182
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: all know how to fix it. I have to keep

183
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: reminding guys that this is a marathon and some own season,

184
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we have to take it one

185
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: week at a time and we don't have that luxury

186
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: to dwell on what happened last week too long or

187
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: it can't affect this week. So you no doubt. I

188
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: do remind guys of that that this is a marathon

189
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: and every week we get a chance to go out

190
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: and try to be at our best. Well, we dropped

191
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: three out of the first five, and we didn't expect that,

192
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, I standard, I expectations a little higher than that.

193
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: And so my message was just we have time to

194
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: turn this around, you know, and we have to have

195
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: the urgency to do that. While we have the time

196
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: to turn around, have loving football games left. So I

197
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: feel good about this team and what we can do.

198
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: In that game, I kind of felt like there was

199
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: more pressure than there was fun, and I don't I

200
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: do not believe we can play at our best, you know,

201
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: when we're out there not having fun. You know, we

202
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: guys played this game for a reason growing up as

203
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: a as a little boy, and I don't want them

204
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: to ever forget those feelings that they had and while

205
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: they fell in love with this game, let's go, he felas,

206
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: bring the energy to them. Okay, walking around the building today,

207
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Bring a little energy. I

208
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: believe with us great energy, that's a great focus. We

209
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: go out and practice. They bring a little energy now.

210
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: Now we played five games, we dropped three. I know

211
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: that's not our expectations. We're all disappointed, but we can

212
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: do something about it. Right well, we can't do anybody

213
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: walking around him moping around, but yourself. Bring that energy now.

214
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: But it's time to work. Go to work though Steelers. Now,

215
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: the group that they're leading on is the running backs.

216
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: The leader on the running backs, and I got a

217
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of respect for that young man. James Connor got

218
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: to know him a little bit at the Pro Bowl.

219
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: Nice young man, but he overcame Cancler. He went there

220
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: the whole deal with cancer, okay, and his approach to

221
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: life in this game right now is he don't take

222
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: much for granted. I respect that. It's like a lot

223
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: of young man this room bout here, you know, but

224
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: he's a good football player. Stumping the Steelers run game

225
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: starts with winning in the trenches, key to the Chargers

226
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: interior defense. He's justin Jovis the second year defensive tankle

227
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: plays like a man on the field and the kid

228
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: it holds all right. First got a Motor Kombat, Jeremy Davis,

229
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: trav They all know about me and mortor Kombat, you

230
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So there's really no competition, you know,

231
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: two K my part enjoy my My player is a

232
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: dog like you guys. Ask Keenan about him, because I

233
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: dropped keening off in this one. I played this growing up,

234
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: so I had to had to go ahead and hit

235
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: me a copy of it, you know what I'm saying,

236
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: just to have a little fun. It's definitely a change

237
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: if for like Madden in two K selected in the

238
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: third round of the twenty eighteen draft, June has become

239
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: a centerpiece on the Boat's defensive line and it's sophomore season.

240
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: I was just telling Kazer in the locker room, I

241
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: was like, can you believe after the season like they're

242
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna be in year three? Like that's that's so crazy

243
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: to me, Like this is the fact that you know

244
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: you just got drafted last year so I think I've

245
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: grown a lot matured, you know, and just trying to

246
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: help with the rookies behind me now for the most part,

247
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: like I know where I'll fit in the defense, and

248
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: I think that's that that's why I'm having the most

249
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: fun because I know exactly what I'm doing, when, why

250
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing it, and moving for who does it help out?

251
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: So it helps me play a lot faster and it

252
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: helps me be more comfortable. That's why it's important to

253
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: keep your group of guys close because only y'all know

254
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: what y'all can do. Keep it tight, you know what

255
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Just keep all group tight and don't let

256
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: any outside people who trying to mess up we got

257
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: going on. So as we go outside, Lee mcugh has

258
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: made the move from South Bend last night to southern California.

259
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: Slightly warmer tonight than last slightly slightly warmer, beautiful out here.

260
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: This is the way you start a segment in the

261
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: sun a morning, right, make oh, come on Sunday night football.

262
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: Let's go to the right. Turkey's off in ten nine, seven, six, five, third,

263
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: three two. We're in southern California on this early Sunday evening,

264
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: at the home of the Los Angeles Chargers. As the

265
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: Chargers take the field, said to me the Pittsburgh Seelers

266
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football, God yah thy look look look

267
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: under the primetime lights. The Boats faced adversity early, falling

268
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: behind by three schools in the first half. And they

269
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: bring it six or coming, and that's a lateral and

270
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: that is gonna be scooped up by the Steelers and

271
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: walked it for a touchdown. All right, we're good in

272
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: the pistol formation for the first time. Let's give it

273
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: to Connor Conners in the end zone and the Pittsburgh

274
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: Steelers don't know a locker roll leading twenty one to

275
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: nothing at the hand. Come on, bro, come man, let's

276
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: keep playing a part. Pasmer. Coming out of the half,

277
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: Justin Jones and the Chargers defense regained their foot. Let go,

278
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: let go, let go. They get count on Love. I

279
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: would do Bro, I would do Bron Hodges. He will throw.

280
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: There comes for shell in pursuit. Man fires deep down

281
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: feet over. That is picked off right the second of

282
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: the season for Jenkins. What a great play by the

283
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: safety to put his foot in the ground. DJ break

284
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: on that ball and get the turnover. Now what Jenkins

285
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: interception provided the Boats much needed boost early in the

286
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That Charger's offense rode the momentum. Williams, Davis

287
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen Rivers middle of the field for Mike Williams.

288
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: What a crap in traffic? Who Mike Williams has been

289
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: sensational today. Steelers showing fresher with for they bring it

290
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: and the Rivers the middle of the field lobs it up.

291
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry still on a speed forty forty seven of

292
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Hunter Henry right Rivers rolling to his left,

293
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: growing lap as Mike Williams needs to break the tackle,

294
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: he does breaks a second left sideline twenty inside the

295
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: twenty steps on the house to stop the clock. River

296
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: throws and that will be incomplete out of bounds. Hunter

297
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: Henry was trying to collect it. Now the officials will

298
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: converse and see what it is. And now the other

299
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: official comes into this toush shadow. It's all gonna play.

300
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: There's a touchdown yet time that's gonna go backs. Here

301
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: you go five wide the picture of the forty nine

302
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: yard line. A little dump up because swiftsure and he

303
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: gets shaken down immediately by Thomas Davis four it down,

304
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: So the Charger's gonna get this ball back right around

305
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: the four minute mark. A great, here, great, you gotta

306
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,360
