WEBVTT - NFL Week 9 FULL SLATE Preview

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Clear your schedules this Monday night. Halloween may have come

0:00:03.700 --> 0:00:06.380
<v Speaker 1>and gone, but this should be a real treat. Minnesota

0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.119
<v Speaker 1>at home may be having to rebound from their first

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.020
<v Speaker 1>loss of the year, but that D is Terry Hatcher

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.130
<v Speaker 1>level still. Real and as spectacular as ever.

0:00:15.150 --> 0:00:18.690
<v Speaker 2>They go quick. Goff is sacked for the fourth time

0:00:18.710 --> 0:00:19.650
<v Speaker 2>this first half.

0:00:20.030 --> 0:00:22.870
<v Speaker 1>They are going from a bout with Mr. Sandman straight

0:00:22.890 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to Tyson. have to try and punch out Josh Allen

0:00:25.739 --> 0:00:28.450
<v Speaker 1>in the Bills' offense next, which means we get the

0:00:28.570 --> 0:00:31.630
<v Speaker 1>number one scoring defense getting in the ring with the

0:00:31.750 --> 0:00:33.350
<v Speaker 1>number one scoring offense.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Fourth and goal for Buffalo. Going up high. Allen's got it. Touchdown.

0:00:38.940 --> 0:00:43.500
<v Speaker 1>Since 1970, week eight or later, those monster matchups split

0:00:43.580 --> 0:00:47.139
<v Speaker 1>a Jerry, even Steven at eight apiece. Bills, the only

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.300
<v Speaker 1>team over 30 a game this year at 33 per.

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.260
<v Speaker 1>Top six good on third down and the red zone.

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.220
<v Speaker 1>Converted three of four chances versus Baltimore. Hung 36 points

0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>on him when the workday was done.

0:00:59.340 --> 0:01:04.459
<v Speaker 2>Allen steps. He throws. Touchdown. That's the record for Josh Allen.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.940
<v Speaker 1>Against the only defense holding teams under 15 a game.

0:01:08.890 --> 0:01:13.020
<v Speaker 1>Vikings at 13.3 per contest held the third highest scoring

0:01:13.060 --> 0:01:16.530
<v Speaker 1>team in the league to 19 a week ago. Nobody

0:01:16.620 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>harder to score on inside the 20, held Detroit to

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 1>one for three there. Second toughest to extend drives against,

0:01:23.620 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>stopped the Lions on eight of 13 tries.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Goff to throw, blitz in his face, tipped in the air.

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.010
<v Speaker 3>This Vikings defense causing problems already.

0:01:32.350 --> 0:01:36.110
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen versus a Vikings secondary holding quarterbacks to the

0:01:36.170 --> 0:01:40.709
<v Speaker 1>lowest rate, lowest completion percentage, fewest yards per game. Ask

0:01:40.790 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff about him. 176 yards, sub-90 rate, the only

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>team that has picked him off.

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.780
<v Speaker 2>Blitz coming as it normally is.

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Goff near side, and it's intercepted!

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>And James Pierre took advantage.

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:58.780
<v Speaker 1>Allen, 289 yards versus Baltimore, three touchdowns, 8.5 yards per attempt,

0:01:58.900 --> 0:02:02.060
<v Speaker 1>leads the NFL in yards per completion at a robust

0:02:02.060 --> 0:02:06.580
<v Speaker 1>13 per in yards per attempt at 8.7. He's not

0:02:06.660 --> 0:02:07.890
<v Speaker 1>out there to dink and dunk.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.530
<v Speaker 2>Ball fake. Oh, that's a BB from Josh Allen.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Has only been sacked more than twice in one game

0:02:15.139 --> 0:02:17.100
<v Speaker 1>so far. Took one a week ago.

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 4>Gets out of it initially. Another spin move by Allen. Allen,

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 4>he is human.

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>He has been picked off in four of their last five.

0:02:25.870 --> 0:02:29.650
<v Speaker 1>One interception versus the Ravens. Three of his five INTs

0:02:29.910 --> 0:02:33.410
<v Speaker 1>have come against the Blitz, too, as a sub-90 rate

0:02:33.490 --> 0:02:35.230
<v Speaker 1>versus 5+.

0:02:35.230 --> 0:02:38.570
<v Speaker 2>Allen throws. That's pumped up in the air. Intercepted.

0:02:39.070 --> 0:02:41.510
<v Speaker 1>So how does he fare versus a pass rush that

0:02:41.530 --> 0:02:44.910
<v Speaker 1>would blitz a 10-year-old playing Pop Warner on every down?

0:02:45.210 --> 0:02:49.270
<v Speaker 1>Get this. Their season rate of blitzing, 73% of the time,

0:02:49.330 --> 0:02:54.090
<v Speaker 1>is ridiculous. They sent extra bodies after Goff. 89% of

0:02:54.150 --> 0:02:54.730
<v Speaker 1>his throws.

0:02:54.730 --> 0:02:55.310
<v Speaker 2>89%.

0:02:55.310 --> 0:02:59.810
<v Speaker 1>And he had good numbers versus 5+. Vikings blew him

0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:00.750
<v Speaker 1>up four times.

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Look out!

0:03:01.940 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Pressure!

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Eric Wilson right up the gut in another sack.

0:03:05.930 --> 0:03:08.850
<v Speaker 1>Now, they didn't have to worry about Goff taking off.

0:03:08.950 --> 0:03:12.450
<v Speaker 1>They will with Josh. Has nine rush TDs, and while

0:03:12.530 --> 0:03:15.940
<v Speaker 1>most are sneaks, he ran for 121 yards a few

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks back. We know he can take off with the

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>best of them.

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Allen steps up.

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 5>The fake.

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.660
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Josh Allen, first down.

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.649
<v Speaker 1>And of course, there's James Cook. We warned everybody last

0:03:27.730 --> 0:03:31.510
<v Speaker 1>week about Minnesota's defensive exhaust port. And sure enough, Jameer

0:03:31.570 --> 0:03:34.810
<v Speaker 1>Gibbs was able to drop a proton torpedo right down it.

0:03:34.990 --> 0:03:39.470
<v Speaker 1>As he ran over them for 153 yards on 6.7

0:03:39.470 --> 0:03:42.830
<v Speaker 1>a carry plus a score, he was the reason Detroit

0:03:42.890 --> 0:03:44.610
<v Speaker 1>scratched out those 19 points.

0:03:45.150 --> 0:03:49.250
<v Speaker 2>Crack pitch, sprinting through, Gibbs, foot race.

0:03:49.990 --> 0:03:53.930
<v Speaker 1>Sent the Vikes yard per carry average tumbling to 4.5 per.

0:03:54.310 --> 0:03:56.810
<v Speaker 1>Cook is one of the few backs averaging over 100

0:03:56.810 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>yards per game down low, hitting it over 5 a run.

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>scored his seventh TD last week with 80 yards.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.820
<v Speaker 2>Give it to him. Cook's got the angle. Touchdown, Buffalo!

0:04:07.190 --> 0:04:11.490
<v Speaker 1>When Allen tests Minnesota's secondary, his big three. Dalton Kincaid,

0:04:11.570 --> 0:04:14.810
<v Speaker 1>kind of quiet for four games, then... 86 yards and

0:04:14.830 --> 0:04:16.350
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown versus Baltimore.

0:04:16.630 --> 0:04:21.740
<v Speaker 2>Bootleg. Allen sets his feet. Throws. Wide open. Dalton Kincaid.

0:04:22.060 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>DJ Moore returned from injury. Scored as well. 82 yards.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.300
<v Speaker 1>Hauled in a big 49-yarder.

0:04:28.740 --> 0:04:33.140
<v Speaker 2>Loads it up. Deep ball. DJ Moore. Tremendous catch.

0:04:33.500 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And Khalil Shakir, 64 yards a week ago. 60-plus in

0:04:37.250 --> 0:04:38.460
<v Speaker 1>three of his last four.

0:04:38.850 --> 0:04:42.510
<v Speaker 2>Allen for Shakir. He's slippery.

0:04:43.050 --> 0:04:45.620
<v Speaker 1>Like last week, the other side of the coin isn't

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.260
<v Speaker 1>as shiny. It's a Bills defense, 25th ranked in scoring

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:53.030
<v Speaker 1>versus a Minnesota offense ranked 27th in scoring at just

0:04:53.029 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>20 a game. No team has made it into the

0:04:55.500 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>red zone less often. Bad on third down, three for

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>10 last week, only 15 points.

0:05:01.740 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Lions come with a blitz. Looking, still alive, pumping and

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.340
<v Speaker 2>throwing deep to nowhere.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>It's a Bills defense, 24th ranked in scoring, not good

0:05:09.740 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone or on third down, but they

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.590
<v Speaker 1>at least didn't allow a third-string quarterback to do much

0:05:14.630 --> 0:05:17.910
<v Speaker 1>of anything last week. Held Baltimore to 10 points, three

0:05:17.930 --> 0:05:20.330
<v Speaker 1>for 13 on third down, one for three in the

0:05:20.370 --> 0:05:20.790
<v Speaker 1>red zone.

0:05:21.210 --> 0:05:24.349
<v Speaker 2>Fagnano breaks away, but not nearly enough.

0:05:24.730 --> 0:05:28.310
<v Speaker 1>They faced one Lamar pass attempt, four from Tyler Huntley

0:05:28.370 --> 0:05:31.900
<v Speaker 1>and 21 from Joe Fagnano. Held him to 91 yards,

0:05:31.900 --> 0:05:35.660
<v Speaker 1>4.3 yards per attempt. No touchdowns picked him off for

0:05:35.700 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a 40 rating.

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Fagnano loads it up. It is intercepted.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.330
<v Speaker 1>Even after that, it's a pass defense, allowing the second

0:05:43.430 --> 0:05:46.450
<v Speaker 1>most yards per game. So nobody was writing home to

0:05:46.490 --> 0:05:49.610
<v Speaker 1>mom about it afterwards. Kyler Murray has to be better

0:05:49.630 --> 0:05:50.729
<v Speaker 1>than Fagnano, right?

0:05:51.180 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.419
<v Speaker 1>On paper, he threw for a couple of touchdowns, hit

0:05:54.500 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>on a nice deep pass to Jordan Addison.

0:05:57.020 --> 0:06:01.570
<v Speaker 2>Murray thinking deep. He's got Addison open. He's got it!

0:06:01.630 --> 0:06:04.810
<v Speaker 1>He found TJ Hawkinson for a touchdown, 58 yards.

0:06:05.190 --> 0:06:08.870
<v Speaker 3>Murray stands in, throws Hawkinson right down the seam.

0:06:09.110 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>And he connected with Justin Jefferson on a TD. A

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.150
<v Speaker 1>TD that JJ made happen.

0:06:14.170 --> 0:06:17.190
<v Speaker 2>You're going to throw it in the corner. It is Jefferson. Oh,

0:06:17.230 --> 0:06:18.810
<v Speaker 2>he came down with it.

0:06:18.830 --> 0:06:19.409
<v Speaker 5>What a catch.

0:06:19.550 --> 0:06:21.690
<v Speaker 1>For that one fan that was tired of me calling

0:06:21.750 --> 0:06:24.740
<v Speaker 1>his dance anything but the gritty, there, that's for you.

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.240
<v Speaker 1>He does the gritty. But many in Skull Nation are

0:06:27.300 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>tired of all the misfires. Jefferson with just 33 yards

0:06:30.900 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>versus Detroit has finished with less than 45 yards in

0:06:34.250 --> 0:06:37.380
<v Speaker 1>three of their last four. That's like Cameron's dad wasting

0:06:37.420 --> 0:06:40.500
<v Speaker 1>that Ferrari by just parking it. Kyler hasn't been leading

0:06:40.540 --> 0:06:44.330
<v Speaker 1>them on enough scoring drives, back-to-back games completing less than 60%

0:06:44.330 --> 0:06:44.850
<v Speaker 1>of his passes.

0:06:46.310 --> 0:06:47.930
<v Speaker 2>Time. End zone.

0:06:48.150 --> 0:06:48.890
<v Speaker 5>Incomplete.

0:06:48.970 --> 0:06:51.890
<v Speaker 2>Went up high, but a little too high for Justin Jefferson.

0:06:52.150 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>He was nursing a sore hammy after the game, so

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 1>Carson Wentz may be getting the call anyway. So keep

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>that on your radar. Murray sacked three times by Detroit.

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.740
<v Speaker 1>29 pass attempts. Three to four sacks taken in four

0:07:03.779 --> 0:07:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of his last five.

0:07:04.980 --> 0:07:08.420
<v Speaker 2>Third and long here. They send a blitz. Murray in trouble.

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>He's sacked again.

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.220
<v Speaker 1>Bill's pass rush only has 15 sacks for the year.

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.470
<v Speaker 1>Gregory Rousseau has seven of them. He had one of

0:07:16.510 --> 0:07:18.490
<v Speaker 1>the four they picked up in their win last week,

0:07:18.550 --> 0:07:20.790
<v Speaker 1>so they're coming off an ice cube day.

0:07:20.810 --> 0:07:25.670
<v Speaker 2>He gets crushed. Ball is free. Buffalo football.

0:07:26.070 --> 0:07:29.460
<v Speaker 1>Vikings only ran the ball 18 times versus Detroit. Had

0:07:29.580 --> 0:07:32.940
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, too. Neither guy with even

0:07:32.940 --> 0:07:37.380
<v Speaker 1>23 yards. Bills only faced 11 Derrick Henry runs, 53 yards.

0:07:37.660 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 1>They are holding runners to 3-9 a carry. Bills in

0:07:40.820 --> 0:07:43.610
<v Speaker 1>the 10 flag club last week, for what that's worth.

0:07:44.500 --> 0:07:47.530
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Packers back in the dub column off to

0:07:47.590 --> 0:07:51.030
<v Speaker 1>New England this week. Winners of four of their last five.

0:07:51.350 --> 0:07:53.690
<v Speaker 2>Again to the end zone, and this time the catch

0:07:53.750 --> 0:07:56.530
<v Speaker 2>is made by Golden for the touchdown.

0:07:56.690 --> 0:08:00.330
<v Speaker 1>Patriots also have won four of their last five. Offense

0:08:00.350 --> 0:08:03.510
<v Speaker 1>has found a groove, posting at least 24 points in

0:08:03.630 --> 0:08:04.470
<v Speaker 1>five straight.

0:08:04.530 --> 0:08:06.450
<v Speaker 5>And he's got room to run. Instead, he throws, and

0:08:06.470 --> 0:08:08.570
<v Speaker 5>it's caught by Douglas. Turns it the other way.

0:08:08.790 --> 0:08:09.930
<v Speaker 6>Douglas at the 20.

0:08:09.930 --> 0:08:14.150
<v Speaker 2>Douglas splits the defense. Touchdown, New England!

0:08:14.910 --> 0:08:17.070
<v Speaker 1>New England didn't blow the Dolphins out of the water,

0:08:17.110 --> 0:08:21.260
<v Speaker 1>but 24 points when A.J. Brown and Travion Henderson were out,

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.060
<v Speaker 1>as well as having two starting wide receivers and two

0:08:24.100 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>starting linemen on IR, ain't so bad. And that Drake

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.630
<v Speaker 1>May chap ain't so bad either. 16 of 20 versus Miami,

0:08:31.710 --> 0:08:36.170
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns, a 141-rate game, has now put together four

0:08:36.230 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>straight 100-plus rating games, two to four TDs, and five straight.

0:08:40.540 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 5>Steps up, hit as he throws, looking deep down the field.

0:08:42.740 --> 0:08:43.540
<v Speaker 2>He's got Williams!

0:08:43.860 --> 0:08:44.700
<v Speaker 6>Touchdown!

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.220
<v Speaker 1>New England's offense faces a defense that's been balling, have

0:08:49.260 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>held the last five teams they've played under 21 points,

0:08:52.740 --> 0:08:57.300
<v Speaker 1>kept Carolina to 19, just 3.7 yards per play. Below

0:08:57.420 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>four is elite stuff, just five for 18 on third down.

0:09:01.380 --> 0:09:04.660
<v Speaker 7>He theoretically has time, but with all the pressure he's

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.380
<v Speaker 7>been under, he got uncomfortable.

0:09:07.620 --> 0:09:10.350
<v Speaker 1>May has to worry about a Packers pass rush that

0:09:10.390 --> 0:09:13.699
<v Speaker 1>comes in off a Bryce Sixer. LVN now has four

0:09:13.740 --> 0:09:17.069
<v Speaker 1>and a half sacks after nabbing one. Tyron Hopper with

0:09:17.250 --> 0:09:21.050
<v Speaker 1>one plus three passes defensed, starting to gain favor among

0:09:21.130 --> 0:09:22.010
<v Speaker 1>Packers fans.

0:09:22.170 --> 0:09:25.170
<v Speaker 2>That's batted in the air and taken out of the

0:09:25.210 --> 0:09:26.290
<v Speaker 2>air by Hopper.

0:09:26.650 --> 0:09:30.500
<v Speaker 1>And the secondary May takes on held young to 209 yards,

0:09:30.550 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a 68 rating, which brought their season rate down to 78,

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>only allowing 5.7 yards per attempt. Quietly, one of the

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.020
<v Speaker 1>toughest teams to pass on, at the halfway-ish mark of

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:42.579
<v Speaker 1>the season.

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 7>Heck of a job by the veteran there, McKinney, knocking

0:09:45.580 --> 0:09:46.380
<v Speaker 7>that ball loose.

0:09:46.580 --> 0:09:49.830
<v Speaker 1>May did take three sacks last week. While injuries are

0:09:49.900 --> 0:09:52.590
<v Speaker 1>part of it, right tackle Morgan Moses gave up one.

0:09:52.850 --> 0:09:55.209
<v Speaker 1>He has allowed a team-high three and a half for

0:09:55.250 --> 0:09:55.630
<v Speaker 1>the year.

0:09:55.650 --> 0:09:59.670
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he just beat three Patriots blockers right there.

0:09:59.890 --> 0:10:01.939
<v Speaker 1>Have to see if A.J. can make it back from

0:10:01.980 --> 0:10:05.780
<v Speaker 1>his ankle sprain. And tight end Hunter Henry left last

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.300
<v Speaker 1>week hurt too, injured his foot. Kyle Williams hauled in

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.260
<v Speaker 1>that 43-yard TD versus the Dolphins. DeMario Douglas led the

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.460
<v Speaker 1>team with 76 yards and a touchdown.

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.140
<v Speaker 5>Tough snap. Mayfield's it. Steps up, throws on the run.

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.080
<v Speaker 5>He's got Pop Douglas.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.100
<v Speaker 6>And a first down for New England.

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Pat's ground game hits week nine off a nice showing.

0:10:24.670 --> 0:10:30.050
<v Speaker 1>Corey Kiner, 38 yards, 5-4 per attempt. Ramondre Stevenson, 83 yards,

0:10:30.070 --> 0:10:31.230
<v Speaker 1>4-3 a carry.

0:10:31.390 --> 0:10:35.210
<v Speaker 6>Stevenson picks up the first down, up to the 43-yard line.

0:10:35.450 --> 0:10:38.500
<v Speaker 1>Unlike the hats their fans wear, there is no holes

0:10:38.530 --> 0:10:41.179
<v Speaker 1>in Green Bay's D, as they're holding runners to 3-9

0:10:41.500 --> 0:10:46.099
<v Speaker 1>a try, held Chuba Hubbard to 3-7, Carolina to just

0:10:46.100 --> 0:10:47.939
<v Speaker 1>82 yards on 3.6 per run.

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.740
<v Speaker 2>Can he get the first? He cannot. Hubbard stops shy.

0:10:52.059 --> 0:10:52.970
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay has it.

0:10:53.250 --> 0:10:55.990
<v Speaker 1>It could be a low-scoring game because New England's defense

0:10:56.130 --> 0:11:00.109
<v Speaker 1>is just as stingy across most fronts. Also holding runners

0:11:00.190 --> 0:11:04.059
<v Speaker 1>under four a carry at 3-8 per try held Ollie Gordon,

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>who had looked good, to 3-6.

0:11:06.340 --> 0:11:10.220
<v Speaker 6>And off to Gordon, and Durden in the backfield makes

0:11:10.300 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 6>another play.

0:11:11.460 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Patriots defense, top 10 in scoring at 20 points per game,

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.520
<v Speaker 1>limited Miami to 19, have kept five of their opponents

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>under 20.

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.340
<v Speaker 6>Pass deflected, it's up for grabs, and it's picked off!

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.929
<v Speaker 6>Intercepted by Kevin Byard!

0:11:25.490 --> 0:11:29.030
<v Speaker 1>Slow Green Bay's passing attack in New England likely slows

0:11:29.070 --> 0:11:32.469
<v Speaker 1>their entire offense. It's still heavily reliant on being able

0:11:32.490 --> 0:11:36.070
<v Speaker 1>to move the ball through the air. Jordan Love, Christian Watson,

0:11:36.150 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft... the A-team quartet that typically drives things.

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.740
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Love, the Hannibal of the group, two-plus TDs in

0:11:44.860 --> 0:11:48.620
<v Speaker 1>seven of eight games now after hanging three on Carolina.

0:11:48.620 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 1>288 yards last week, 100-plus rate. Loves when a plan

0:11:53.860 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 1>comes together.

0:11:54.580 --> 0:11:55.839
<v Speaker 5>Throws, caught.

0:11:58.540 --> 0:12:01.810
<v Speaker 1>Panthers pass rushers last week as accurate as the bad

0:12:01.850 --> 0:12:04.390
<v Speaker 1>guys in that show. They didn't get to love once

0:12:04.470 --> 0:12:07.530
<v Speaker 1>on 41 pass attempts, only took one sack the week

0:12:07.610 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 1>prior to. So he's been getting good protection lately. Green

0:12:11.340 --> 0:12:14.620
<v Speaker 1>Bay got its season point per game average up to

0:12:14.620 --> 0:12:18.860
<v Speaker 1>21 by finding 27 points versus the Panthers. under 24

0:12:18.860 --> 0:12:22.370
<v Speaker 1>points their previous two outings, converted all three red zone

0:12:22.420 --> 0:12:26.189
<v Speaker 1>trips week eight, nice nine for 16 on third down.

0:12:26.370 --> 0:12:29.209
<v Speaker 7>Very effective of getting away from pressure. He's able to

0:12:29.250 --> 0:12:31.130
<v Speaker 7>get outside and buy some time.

0:12:31.190 --> 0:12:34.260
<v Speaker 1>The face of the bunch, Christian Watson, 113 versus Carolina.

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.640
<v Speaker 1>his third 100-yard game of the year.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:43.719
<v Speaker 2>Going deep, going long. He's got Watson there, pulls it

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.260
<v Speaker 2>into the 25-yard line.

0:12:45.500 --> 0:12:49.700
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Golden, 79 yards and a touchdown. That's 79-plus in

0:12:49.740 --> 0:12:51.060
<v Speaker 1>three of his last four.

0:12:51.580 --> 0:12:55.990
<v Speaker 7>Not hesitating, not blinking. Goes right back to his guy, Golden,

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:56.710
<v Speaker 7>for the touchdown.

0:12:56.850 --> 0:13:00.110
<v Speaker 1>His hands do drive Packers fans crazy at times, so

0:13:00.130 --> 0:13:03.150
<v Speaker 1>of course he's the Murdoch. Which leaves the B.A. of

0:13:03.210 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the group, Tucker Kraft, 53 yards and a touchdown a

0:13:06.500 --> 0:13:09.380
<v Speaker 1>week ago, has caught five to six balls, four of

0:13:09.420 --> 0:13:12.729
<v Speaker 1>their last five, and of course, he pities the fool.

0:13:13.030 --> 0:13:16.050
<v Speaker 2>And that is hauled in for a touchdown by the

0:13:16.090 --> 0:13:17.410
<v Speaker 2>tight end, Tucker Kraft.

0:13:17.690 --> 0:13:20.850
<v Speaker 1>So, New England's pass defense has been a little Colonel

0:13:20.890 --> 0:13:23.740
<v Speaker 1>Decker this year. They're close a lot, but don't always

0:13:23.790 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>get there in time. Play against quarterbacks middle of the

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.180
<v Speaker 1>pack for the season. Gave up a couple of touchdowns

0:13:29.220 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to Malik Willis in their win.

0:13:30.740 --> 0:13:31.459
<v Speaker 5>Willis looks deep.

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Wide open man. Touchdown!

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.710
<v Speaker 1>That does not mean to say they played Willis poorly.

0:13:36.750 --> 0:13:39.490
<v Speaker 1>They picked him off and held him to 211 yards.

0:13:39.809 --> 0:13:42.650
<v Speaker 1>And only five teams have more sacks than New England.

0:13:42.910 --> 0:13:46.170
<v Speaker 1>They tracked down Willis five times. Corey Durden with one

0:13:46.210 --> 0:13:48.390
<v Speaker 1>and a half. Gabe Ackes with one and a half

0:13:48.429 --> 0:13:48.890
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:13:49.110 --> 0:13:51.050
<v Speaker 5>Willis looks right, comes back the other way.

0:13:51.230 --> 0:13:53.570
<v Speaker 6>Ackes missed him, but he did not miss him the

0:13:53.610 --> 0:13:54.410
<v Speaker 6>second time.

0:13:54.630 --> 0:13:57.310
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jacobs comes off a two TD game, but New

0:13:57.390 --> 0:14:00.530
<v Speaker 1>England's defense is taking on a Packers offense that has

0:14:00.620 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>yet to rush for 90 yards in a game, hasn't

0:14:03.700 --> 0:14:07.740
<v Speaker 1>produced 81 in four straight games. Jacobs' return hasn't made

0:14:07.780 --> 0:14:10.820
<v Speaker 1>a difference. He only averaged 3.3 a run in his

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>first game back, then 1.9 a carry last week. Green

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Bay with a measly 66 rush yards.

0:14:17.850 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 6>Nope.

0:14:19.190 --> 0:14:19.470
<v Speaker 2>Stuff.

0:14:19.810 --> 0:14:23.830
<v Speaker 1>Packers kicker Trey Smack missed another extra point last week,

0:14:24.250 --> 0:14:28.130
<v Speaker 1>skating on the thinnest of ice at this point. 49ers

0:14:28.230 --> 0:14:30.910
<v Speaker 1>at home after a week off. No team needed it more.

0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:36.260
<v Speaker 1>Nick Bosa, Mike Evans, Debo, Demarcus Robinson, CMC, all hoping

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 1>to be cleared by Hawkeye or Pierce. Hot lips if

0:14:39.260 --> 0:14:41.740
<v Speaker 1>need be. Get them boys back on the field so

0:14:41.780 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>we can see what this team's true potential is.

0:14:44.370 --> 0:14:44.970
<v Speaker 5>Still going.

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:49.650
<v Speaker 8>The 20. Ball comes loose. The fourth San Francisco turnover.

0:14:50.110 --> 0:14:53.430
<v Speaker 1>Fire up some thin Lizzie. The boys are back in town.

0:14:53.510 --> 0:14:55.930
<v Speaker 1>Time for the next chapter in what is a very

0:14:56.130 --> 0:14:59.750
<v Speaker 1>underrated rivalry. The Raiders are back in the Bay Area

0:14:59.930 --> 0:15:01.170
<v Speaker 1>sitting on a 500 record.

0:15:02.330 --> 0:15:06.410
<v Speaker 8>And now he fires into the end zone with the interception.

0:15:06.790 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully nobody gets up and slaps Johnny's face. If it happens,

0:15:10.260 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>just fall about the place, OK? But I'm here to

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>spread the word around about Kirk Cousins. Niners better not

0:15:16.340 --> 0:15:20.630
<v Speaker 1>take him lightly. 240 plus yards in seven straight games.

0:15:20.950 --> 0:15:23.870
<v Speaker 1>Two to three TDs in seven of eight games, comes

0:15:23.970 --> 0:15:28.150
<v Speaker 1>off a season-best 141-rate outing, hit New York with a

0:15:28.210 --> 0:15:32.550
<v Speaker 1>trio of touchdowns, 247 yards, no interceptions.

0:15:33.090 --> 0:15:37.490
<v Speaker 8>Cousins looking end zone, throws underneath, and it's taken into

0:15:37.510 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 8>the end zone.

0:15:38.530 --> 0:15:42.060
<v Speaker 1>Vegas' offense with 27 points per game after smacking the

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.460
<v Speaker 1>Jets with 38. Only five teams popping for more per game,

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>at least 26 points in six of their eight outings.

0:15:50.250 --> 0:15:52.890
<v Speaker 1>Seven for 11 on third down last week, four for

0:15:52.970 --> 0:15:54.870
<v Speaker 1>four in Scott Hansen's house.

0:15:55.310 --> 0:15:58.850
<v Speaker 8>Number package in for the Raiders as Cousins.

0:15:58.450 --> 0:15:59.190
<v Speaker 2>Takes it in.

0:15:59.630 --> 0:16:02.510
<v Speaker 1>Raiders offense trying to score on a group, holding teams

0:16:02.770 --> 0:16:05.110
<v Speaker 1>to 19 a game. Tough to move the sticks against,

0:16:05.310 --> 0:16:08.730
<v Speaker 1>tough to deal with inside the 20. There's Pijon Robinson.

0:16:08.810 --> 0:16:10.830
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he didn't get out. Oh, that was really close.

0:16:11.150 --> 0:16:14.530
<v Speaker 1>The secondary Cousins is looking at holding quarterbacks to just

0:16:14.530 --> 0:16:18.470
<v Speaker 1>6.3 yards per attempt. Safety Malik Mustafa has looked good.

0:16:18.860 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Cornerback Renardo Green, three INTs, a 55 rating.

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:23.900
<v Speaker 5>Not time to throw.

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.820
<v Speaker 2>Middle intercepted again. Renardo Green picked off another.

0:16:28.140 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Niners have allowed a rating north of 90 overall. Cornerbacks

0:16:32.060 --> 0:16:36.670
<v Speaker 1>Jack Jones and Diamador Lenore, safety Jair Brown, all with

0:16:36.690 --> 0:16:39.750
<v Speaker 1>100-plus rates against. Primary guy they have to worry about

0:16:39.810 --> 0:16:44.030
<v Speaker 1>this week, Mr. Brock Bowers. Scored twice versus the Jets,

0:16:44.030 --> 0:16:47.750
<v Speaker 1>92 yards. Make it 70-plus in all six games he's played.

0:16:48.150 --> 0:16:51.110
<v Speaker 8>Now he throws to the end zone and a diving

0:16:51.210 --> 0:16:52.330
<v Speaker 8>catch is made.

0:16:52.290 --> 0:16:53.090
<v Speaker 2>For a touchdown.

0:16:53.270 --> 0:16:56.500
<v Speaker 1>Niners DBs also have to worry about their TE2. I

0:16:57.030 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>know that doesn't work as well, doesn't roll off the tongue,

0:16:59.700 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>but Michael Mayer with 53 yards a week ago, his

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.379
<v Speaker 1>third 50-plus yard game in their last five.

0:17:05.990 --> 0:17:07.409
<v Speaker 2>Two most productive tight ends.

0:17:07.450 --> 0:17:09.470
<v Speaker 5>That duo has been really good for Kirk Cousins.

0:17:09.850 --> 0:17:12.330
<v Speaker 1>And while Ashton Jenty hasn't been able to do much

0:17:12.410 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 1>on handoffs, he's become a regular threat in the passing attack,

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>64 yards week eight, so now has hit for 50-plus

0:17:19.780 --> 0:17:21.860
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards in four of their last five.

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.500
<v Speaker 9>How you let him get this wide open in the

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.220
<v Speaker 9>passing game is inexcusable for the defense.

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.649
<v Speaker 1>Cousins has only taken three sacks over their last three games,

0:17:30.950 --> 0:17:34.230
<v Speaker 1>only one last week. Bosa rejoins a pass rush that

0:17:34.270 --> 0:17:37.649
<v Speaker 1>has at least produced 15 sacks in seven games. Keyon

0:17:37.750 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>White leads the team with three and a half. Genti

0:17:43.820 --> 0:17:47.200
<v Speaker 1>only had two rush attempts versus the Jets. They turn

0:17:47.220 --> 0:17:50.450
<v Speaker 1>to Mike Washington. 25 attempts, 83 yards.

0:17:50.730 --> 0:17:53.550
<v Speaker 9>Mike Washington is just too fast. That's the speed they

0:17:53.590 --> 0:17:55.050
<v Speaker 9>want at that running back position.

0:17:55.270 --> 0:17:57.810
<v Speaker 1>You can do the math, though. That's only 3-3 a carry,

0:17:58.090 --> 0:18:00.590
<v Speaker 1>so they still are struggling when it comes to efficiency.

0:18:00.609 --> 0:18:02.490
<v Speaker 1>It's going to be hard to get their rush attack

0:18:02.540 --> 0:18:07.120
<v Speaker 1>going against Fred Warner and company. He has 71 tackles already,

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco holding runners to a meager 3.5 a carry. Now,

0:18:09.980 --> 0:18:11.139
<v Speaker 1>if Vegas' offense.

0:18:11.140 --> 0:18:12.980
<v Speaker 10>Were to light up the scoreboard, expect another fireworks show

0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 10>because that defense of theirs does not match up well.

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.050
<v Speaker 1>With San Francisco's offense. Brock Purdy has a couple of

0:18:29.090 --> 0:18:32.129
<v Speaker 1>weeks to forget about his last outing. Prior to week seven,

0:18:32.210 --> 0:18:36.190
<v Speaker 1>it was all BCB ball. Hit his break with 15 touchdowns,

0:18:36.230 --> 0:18:39.670
<v Speaker 1>a 110 rating, 250 yards per game, and a fat

0:18:39.670 --> 0:18:41.580
<v Speaker 1>12 yards per completion.

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:46.180
<v Speaker 2>Purdy throws. Touchdown. They just don't even cover. Use check

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:46.860
<v Speaker 2>out of the backfield.

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:49.780
<v Speaker 1>He should have his Fantastic Four back to pass too.

0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:50.500
<v Speaker 2>Mr.

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.020
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic, Mike Evans, leading the team with 70 yards per game,

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:55.030
<v Speaker 1>three scores.

0:18:55.290 --> 0:18:56.649
<v Speaker 5>He wants Evans. He just puts it up.

0:18:56.690 --> 0:18:59.690
<v Speaker 2>Give it to Mike. Mike's got it. He pulled it in.

0:19:00.090 --> 0:19:04.429
<v Speaker 1>The Thing, George Kittle, leader in receiving touchdowns with 560

0:19:04.430 --> 0:19:05.230
<v Speaker 1>yards per game.

0:19:05.530 --> 0:19:07.990
<v Speaker 2>Kittle gets a block from Brendel. Kittle is breaking free

0:19:08.010 --> 0:19:10.130
<v Speaker 2>into space. George Kittle is racing.

0:19:10.410 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Debo isn't invisible or a woman, but he has three touchdowns,

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.740
<v Speaker 1>41 yards per game, and the Human Torch, CMC, with

0:19:18.740 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>35 receiving yards per game. 55 a game down low,

0:19:22.130 --> 0:19:24.859
<v Speaker 1>4-6 a carry, 8 trips to the zone.

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.880
<v Speaker 2>McCaffrey over the top for.

0:19:27.660 --> 0:19:28.619
<v Speaker 5>A 49ers touchdown!

0:19:29.220 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Vegas' D throwing bows with one of the best offenses

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>in football, fewest sacks allowed, no one has faced less

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.830
<v Speaker 1>pressure than Purdy, 28 points per game, elite in the

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.850
<v Speaker 1>red zone and on third down, and now as healthy

0:19:42.910 --> 0:19:44.250
<v Speaker 1>as it's been in weeks.

0:19:44.970 --> 0:19:49.250
<v Speaker 2>The fake, Purdy, touchdown! They cash in!

0:19:49.270 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>So, we have the fourth highest scoring offense taking on

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:57.010
<v Speaker 1>a defense, 31st in scoring, 28 points per game. Only

0:19:57.090 --> 0:20:00.389
<v Speaker 1>Arizona is giving up more. They've allowed 27 plus points

0:20:00.450 --> 0:20:03.510
<v Speaker 1>in six straight after giving up 33 points to the

0:20:03.590 --> 0:20:06.770
<v Speaker 1>Jets last week. Purdy looking at a secondary, allowing the

0:20:06.830 --> 0:20:11.450
<v Speaker 1>third highest rating, over 12 yards per completion, gave up

0:20:11.450 --> 0:20:15.380
<v Speaker 1>290 yards to Geno Smith, two TDs over nine per attempt.

0:20:15.780 --> 0:20:19.300
<v Speaker 2>Smith, end zone, Mitchell, touchdown!

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Purdy does at least have to worry about a middle-of-the-pack

0:20:22.700 --> 0:20:26.380
<v Speaker 1>pass rush, 18 total, two in New York, can never

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:28.710
<v Speaker 1>pass up a chance to see Max do his thing,

0:20:28.810 --> 0:20:32.010
<v Speaker 1>Crosby with his third, And salute that man for being

0:20:32.109 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>true to the silver and black. As for CMC, oh boy.

0:20:41.619 --> 0:20:43.540
<v Speaker 1>He may feel like he's at one of those buffets

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.180
<v Speaker 1>on the strip. He takes on the worst rush defense

0:20:46.220 --> 0:20:48.640
<v Speaker 1>in all of the land. They're allowing 5.1 yards per carry,

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>146 rush yards per game. Braylon Allen went for 7

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>yards per pop, 147 yards and a TD against them.

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.060
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay working their way back into the NFC South

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.740
<v Speaker 1>race one handoff at a time. If the Cleveland Bulldogs

0:21:10.780 --> 0:21:14.139
<v Speaker 1>can win a title without the forward pass, why not us?

0:21:15.630 --> 0:21:23.440
<v Speaker 1>They are in Chicago this week for Sunday Night Football.

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.140
<v Speaker 1>The Bears with their third straight primetime game. The Iceman

0:21:27.220 --> 0:21:29.290
<v Speaker 1>sure seems to like that spotlight, doesn't he?

0:21:30.660 --> 0:21:33.550
<v Speaker 2>Odunze inside the 30.

0:21:33.550 --> 0:21:36.550
<v Speaker 11>Perfect pass by Caleb Williams for 25.

0:21:36.550 --> 0:21:39.429
<v Speaker 1>The hearts of all the Bill Swerskis of Da Bears

0:21:39.510 --> 0:21:43.250
<v Speaker 1>Nation want to thank Caleb Williams. All the dramatic comebacks

0:21:43.290 --> 0:21:45.609
<v Speaker 1>were great and all, but it sure is nice to

0:21:45.670 --> 0:21:48.350
<v Speaker 1>just cruise to the finish line, which is what Chicago

0:21:48.410 --> 0:21:51.570
<v Speaker 1>is doing more often these days. They've won three straight,

0:21:51.690 --> 0:21:55.030
<v Speaker 1>five of their last six come off a statement win.

0:21:55.350 --> 0:22:00.270
<v Speaker 2>Toss to Swift, up the gut, touchdown Chicago. He's got three.

0:22:00.690 --> 0:22:03.260
<v Speaker 1>Ewoks took down the dark side, and so did their

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:07.459
<v Speaker 1>earthly cousins. Bears slapped the big, bad Seattle defense with

0:22:07.460 --> 0:22:12.389
<v Speaker 1>34 points. Perfect 4-for-4 in the red zone, 30-plus points

0:22:12.430 --> 0:22:15.410
<v Speaker 1>in each game Caleb has started and finished.

0:22:15.650 --> 0:22:18.820
<v Speaker 2>Williams keeps, throws, Burton!

0:22:20.730 --> 0:22:24.330
<v Speaker 1>Williams, 100-plus rate in four of five games. How about

0:22:24.369 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a 70% completion rate for the season? Second highest in

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. 24 of 34 versus Seattle, over 240 yards,

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>a TD, no interceptions, 100-plus rate. Firing bullets all night,

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>four caught by Roma Dunze, who led the team with

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:42.740
<v Speaker 1>87 yards.

0:22:42.900 --> 0:22:45.580
<v Speaker 2>And then Dunze, it's like you're out there with your

0:22:45.619 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 2>friends at the park. Just get open and I'll find you.

0:22:49.420 --> 0:22:52.790
<v Speaker 1>Colston Loveland has put up 60-plus yards in three straight,

0:22:52.790 --> 0:22:54.270
<v Speaker 1>65 a week ago.

0:22:54.550 --> 0:22:56.950
<v Speaker 12>And he's able to deliver this football where Loveland's able

0:22:56.970 --> 0:22:57.609
<v Speaker 12>to make a play.

0:22:58.090 --> 0:22:59.070
<v Speaker 5>There it is right there.

0:22:58.930 --> 0:22:59.590
<v Speaker 2>With the left knee.

0:22:59.890 --> 0:23:03.550
<v Speaker 1>And Luther Burden keeps making big plays for them, 56

0:23:03.550 --> 0:23:04.470
<v Speaker 1>yards and a score.

0:23:04.650 --> 0:23:07.820
<v Speaker 11>Pass caught by Burden over the middle, and Luther Burden

0:23:07.970 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 11>just continues to pile up yardage.

0:23:10.340 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Caleb goes from one top shelf defense to another. I

0:23:13.619 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>know Fire the Cannon's faithful aren't super fans of Todd Bowles,

0:23:17.060 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 1>but the dude does know defense, and that Bucks D

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 1>has been quietly one of the toughest in the NFL,

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:25.780
<v Speaker 1>shutting out Atlanta the last time they were on the field,

0:23:25.780 --> 0:23:38.290
<v Speaker 1>0 for 12 on third down. Yes, the monsoon-like weather

0:23:38.350 --> 0:23:41.570
<v Speaker 1>played a role, but only two teams have scored 24-plus

0:23:41.630 --> 0:23:44.270
<v Speaker 1>points on Tampa Bay. They've held four of their last

0:23:44.350 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>five teams under 18. Their holding teams to 18 points

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:51.450
<v Speaker 1>per game makes them fifth best on that front. Caleb,

0:23:51.550 --> 0:23:54.990
<v Speaker 1>wrangling with a secondary that picked off Michael Penix four times,

0:23:55.130 --> 0:23:58.139
<v Speaker 1>they now sit on the second lowest rate in the game,

0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:01.120
<v Speaker 1>holding quarterbacks to 6.1 yards per attempt.

0:24:01.140 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 12>Pass Rush didn't get to Penix once, though.

0:24:03.500 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 2>Lost Yaya Diaby to injury, too. He's out for a bit.

0:24:16.630 --> 0:24:20.190
<v Speaker 1>Williams only took one sack on 34 pass attempts versus Seattle,

0:24:20.190 --> 0:24:24.060
<v Speaker 1>13 sacks taken in his five games. On the down low,

0:24:24.390 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Bears still waiting on Kyle Menungai's toe to heal, but

0:24:27.500 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>they have Ricky the Wild Thing Vaughn still. DeAndre Swift

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.460
<v Speaker 1>only 2.6 a carry versus Seattle, but he closed out

0:24:34.580 --> 0:24:38.399
<v Speaker 1>three drives. Leads the NFL in rushing TDs with 10,

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.420
<v Speaker 1>has scored in four straight, but not super efficient as

0:24:41.460 --> 0:24:45.200
<v Speaker 1>of late, three straight games under 3.6 a carry. 3-6,

0:24:45.240 --> 0:24:48.580
<v Speaker 1>what the Bucs are holding runners to for 2026, so

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.260
<v Speaker 1>tough to run on as well.

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.380
<v Speaker 12>Not far enough, Tampa Bay holds on fourth down.

0:24:53.900 --> 0:24:58.220
<v Speaker 1>But if we're talking rush attacks, Tampa's is front and center.

0:24:58.640 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Rain did not stop their two-headed monster in any way, shape,

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.600
<v Speaker 1>or form. Bucky Irving, 100-plus yards in three of his

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:07.590
<v Speaker 1>last four, 170 on 6-3 a carry in the mud,

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:08.219
<v Speaker 1>punched one in.

0:25:11.500 --> 0:25:14.149
<v Speaker 12>Oh, and there was one of those Bucky Irving jump cuts,

0:25:14.369 --> 0:25:16.110
<v Speaker 12>and there's a lot of room to run.

0:25:15.890 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Because of it.

0:25:16.869 --> 0:25:21.450
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Gainwell, 88-plus yards back-to-back games, 140 in the slop

0:25:21.550 --> 0:25:22.869
<v Speaker 1>on 5-6 a pop.

0:25:22.890 --> 0:25:24.810
<v Speaker 2>Made a man miss, made another miss.

0:25:25.010 --> 0:25:29.030
<v Speaker 12>Kenny Gainwell stays on his feet again, all the way

0:25:29.090 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 12>across the field and down to the six-yard line.

0:25:32.060 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Those performances, of course, impressive enough in those conditions, but

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:38.600
<v Speaker 1>what really makes them stand out is this.

0:25:39.100 --> 0:25:42.100
<v Speaker 7>And it's dropped by Kenny Gainwell. He looks it all

0:25:42.140 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 7>the way in, just a little bit of a short

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:45.900
<v Speaker 7>arm and off the fingertips.

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Is that a stat line or what? Atlanta knew the

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:52.250
<v Speaker 1>Bucks weren't throwing and still couldn't stop the run. They

0:25:52.270 --> 0:25:54.850
<v Speaker 1>were like the goalie in that old Nike commercial versus

0:25:54.890 --> 0:25:58.510
<v Speaker 1>Sergey Fedorov. Irving to the right, couldn't stop him. Gainwell

0:25:58.550 --> 0:26:01.550
<v Speaker 1>to the left, couldn't stop him. Bucky, glove hand, couldn't

0:26:01.590 --> 0:26:02.110
<v Speaker 1>stop him.

0:26:02.470 --> 0:26:03.650
<v Speaker 5>Kenny, five hole.

0:26:03.990 --> 0:26:04.470
<v Speaker 1>You get it.

0:26:04.630 --> 0:26:07.070
<v Speaker 12>A lot of Bucky Irving early in this game, but

0:26:07.109 --> 0:26:10.990
<v Speaker 12>the fourth quarter has tilted in Gainwell's direction and he

0:26:11.250 --> 0:26:12.030
<v Speaker 12>is playing well.

0:26:12.290 --> 0:26:15.670
<v Speaker 1>They've won back-to-back games, throwing the ball a total of

0:26:15.670 --> 0:26:19.510
<v Speaker 1>14 times. Last week was just the second time a

0:26:19.550 --> 0:26:21.650
<v Speaker 1>team has won a game in the Super Bowl era

0:26:22.010 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 1>with zero passing yards. Tampa's backs the only fuel needed

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:29.050
<v Speaker 1>for the Bucks to scratch out their 16 points. Their

0:26:29.190 --> 0:26:32.990
<v Speaker 1>offense hasn't been high scoring most games anyway. 24 plus

0:26:33.070 --> 0:26:36.850
<v Speaker 1>three times, under 20, five times. They'd love to get

0:26:36.910 --> 0:26:39.990
<v Speaker 1>Emeka Ibuka back for this game. He missed last week

0:26:40.010 --> 0:26:42.830
<v Speaker 1>with a foot injury, likely will need to pass more

0:26:42.910 --> 0:26:48.430
<v Speaker 1>versus Chicago, whose defense is loving their new addition. No Bobby, Robbie, Ricky,

0:26:48.470 --> 0:26:52.419
<v Speaker 1>or Mikes, but that Jeffrey dude's debut couldn't have gone better.

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 11>And the four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle is right in

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.200
<v Speaker 11>on Darnold and brings him down.

0:26:58.700 --> 0:26:59.940
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Bears.

0:27:00.590 --> 0:27:05.430
<v Speaker 1>Simmons, six tackles, one sack, two TFLs, and a pass defensed.

0:27:05.750 --> 0:27:09.060
<v Speaker 1>He made Montez Sweat look like a problem again, also

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 1>had a sack, had two others wiped out due to flags.

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:16.020
<v Speaker 1>Chicago held Seattle to 17 points in their house, one

0:27:16.060 --> 0:27:18.459
<v Speaker 1>for 11 on third down, one for four in the

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.610
<v Speaker 1>red zone, now holding teams to 20 a game.

0:27:21.770 --> 0:27:25.350
<v Speaker 11>This one's batted into the air by Jeffrey Simmons.

0:27:25.670 --> 0:27:28.730
<v Speaker 1>Bears pass defense has been shaky at times this year.

0:27:29.130 --> 0:27:32.139
<v Speaker 1>Simmons present is supposed to help. More they can pressure

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:35.500
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, easier it is on their DBs. Aside from

0:27:35.540 --> 0:27:39.179
<v Speaker 1>their play versus JSN, that proved true last week as

0:27:39.220 --> 0:27:41.139
<v Speaker 1>they held Sam Darnold to just 188 yards, just 5.5

0:27:41.140 --> 0:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>yards per attempt, picked him off. A team with a

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.030
<v Speaker 1>98 rate overall comes off a 74 rating outing.

0:27:50.330 --> 0:27:53.950
<v Speaker 11>They bail out, the Bears do, and now Darnold has

0:27:53.990 --> 0:27:55.510
<v Speaker 11>the pass, batted.

0:27:55.150 --> 0:27:59.290
<v Speaker 2>And picked off. Intercepted by James Lynch down to the five.

0:27:59.530 --> 0:28:03.070
<v Speaker 1>Simmons also supposed to help with guys like Gainwell and Irving,

0:28:03.350 --> 0:28:06.780
<v Speaker 1>Chicago allowing four for a carry down low, but held

0:28:06.840 --> 0:28:10.340
<v Speaker 1>both Seattle's backs under four. Bears still need to clean

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:13.660
<v Speaker 1>up their laundry problem, took 10 more flags last week,

0:28:13.900 --> 0:28:18.580
<v Speaker 1>that's nine plus in three straight games. New York Jets

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:22.080
<v Speaker 1>head west this week on a three-game losing streak, losers

0:28:22.180 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>of six of their last seven, and I'm not going

0:28:24.740 --> 0:28:27.659
<v Speaker 1>to say it, even Beavis and Butthead wouldn't laugh at it.

0:28:28.070 --> 0:28:32.470
<v Speaker 8>Into the end zone with the interception and the exclamation point.

0:28:32.670 --> 0:28:35.970
<v Speaker 1>They are in Kansas City. Chiefs ahead twitch away from

0:28:36.010 --> 0:28:40.130
<v Speaker 1>a dramatic comeback win last week, instead on a two-game

0:28:40.170 --> 0:28:40.870
<v Speaker 1>losing streak.

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 2>All on the line.

0:28:42.460 --> 0:28:47.100
<v Speaker 5>Mahomes stepping up in trouble. Doesn't have a chance.

0:28:47.100 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>11 flags. The last one reversing what could have been

0:28:50.140 --> 0:28:53.900
<v Speaker 1>a Patrick Mahomes fourth touchdown of the game. Instead of

0:28:53.900 --> 0:28:57.730
<v Speaker 1>31 points, they finished with 24. Just six for 14

0:28:57.730 --> 0:29:01.390
<v Speaker 1>on third down, Harrison Butker missed another field goal that

0:29:01.430 --> 0:29:04.170
<v Speaker 1>made it easier for Denver to score their game winner.

0:29:04.470 --> 0:29:07.620
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Walker has now gone back-to-back games under 3-5 a

0:29:07.660 --> 0:29:10.800
<v Speaker 1>carry after starting the year looking unstoppable.

0:29:11.180 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 13>They do run it with Walker. Walker looking for something.

0:29:14.100 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 13>Nothing is there.

0:29:15.380 --> 0:29:16.380
<v Speaker 5>He is stuffed.

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.530
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes looked good enough versus Denver after struggling his previous

0:29:20.570 --> 0:29:25.420
<v Speaker 1>two games. Three touchdowns, no interceptions, over 320 yards at

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>110-plus rate. The trade watch is on. Will they supply

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:31.380
<v Speaker 1>him with a new wide receiver?

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:34.350
<v Speaker 5>Here's the first and goal, little toss, fighting for the

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:36.470
<v Speaker 5>end zone, and across he goes.

0:29:36.850 --> 0:29:39.370
<v Speaker 1>This week, Mahomes takes on a Jets secondary that has

0:29:39.390 --> 0:29:42.780
<v Speaker 1>not played themselves. pass well, just gave up 247 yards

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:46.420
<v Speaker 1>and three touchdowns to Kirk Cousins for a 140-plus rate,

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:50.850
<v Speaker 1>have allowed 14 touchdowns now with only one pick, rate

0:29:50.990 --> 0:29:55.590
<v Speaker 1>over 100 for the year, safety Minka Fitzpatrick's response, that's

0:29:55.650 --> 0:30:03.860
<v Speaker 1>the Jets being Jets. Casey's offense in the ring with

0:30:03.900 --> 0:30:06.660
<v Speaker 1>a New York defense that gave up 31 points in

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.770
<v Speaker 1>their loss to Vegas. 26-plus points allowed in three straight games.

0:30:11.110 --> 0:30:14.170
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Glenn, the Bobs have a question for you. You're

0:30:14.190 --> 0:30:17.090
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a defensive guy, but what exactly is

0:30:17.150 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 1>it you do here? let the Raiders convert seven of

0:30:20.080 --> 0:30:23.530
<v Speaker 1>11 third downs and all four of their red zone trips.

0:30:24.050 --> 0:30:28.450
<v Speaker 8>Cousins looking end zone, throws underneath, and it's taken into

0:30:28.490 --> 0:30:29.190
<v Speaker 8>the end zone.

0:30:29.450 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 1>The New York pass rush Mahomes is dealing with does

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>have 20 sacks, which is a solid total, but only

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:38.980
<v Speaker 1>got to Cousins once on 26 pass attempts. Their secondary

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:41.940
<v Speaker 1>struggled with the tight end position last week. Brock Bowers,

0:30:42.180 --> 0:30:46.770
<v Speaker 1>who scored twice on them, 92 yards. Michael Mayer, 53 yards.

0:30:47.090 --> 0:30:49.930
<v Speaker 1>And a running back, Ashton Gentee, who they gave up

0:30:49.930 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>64 yards to. That's relevant because Mahomes used running back

0:30:54.020 --> 0:30:58.540
<v Speaker 1>Emmitt Johnson. for 128 yards and a touchdown last week.

0:30:58.900 --> 0:30:59.020
<v Speaker 2>One.

0:30:59.060 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 5>Can he cut back? He stumbles on the cut.

0:31:01.200 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Still finds his way to the end zone.

0:31:03.500 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 1>And Travis Kelsey went for 67 yards.

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:07.460
<v Speaker 5>Mahomes fires it.

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:08.140
<v Speaker 2>Got it.

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 5>It's Kelsey.

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:09.460
<v Speaker 14>Who else?

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 5>And Travis makes the big play.

0:31:11.550 --> 0:31:14.030
<v Speaker 1>And they did get Rasheed Rice back. He chipped in

0:31:14.030 --> 0:31:15.090
<v Speaker 1>53 yards.

0:31:15.290 --> 0:31:17.810
<v Speaker 13>Patrick hasn't had a touchdown pass in two weeks, but

0:31:17.850 --> 0:31:18.570
<v Speaker 13>he does now.

0:31:19.050 --> 0:31:20.170
<v Speaker 2>It's Rasheed Rice.

0:31:20.710 --> 0:31:23.510
<v Speaker 1>Maybe one of New York's wideouts could stay behind after

0:31:23.550 --> 0:31:26.450
<v Speaker 1>the game. How would Adonai Mitchell look in red? He

0:31:26.530 --> 0:31:31.060
<v Speaker 1>enters off a season-best 142 yards. He scored. He's played

0:31:31.150 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>four games this year, 60-plus in three of four.

0:31:34.660 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 9>Just watch the move that Adonai Mitchell puts on Eric Stokes.

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 5>He's got his work cut out for him today.

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Or Garrett Wilson, probably harder to attain, but he had

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>83 yards last week.

0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:49.100
<v Speaker 8>That's just made by Garrett Wilson. Caught only two last week.

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:50.600
<v Speaker 8>That has been a major story.

0:31:50.740 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Wilson and Mitchell. 225 of Geno Smith's 290 yards week eight,

0:31:56.530 --> 0:32:01.030
<v Speaker 1>a 99 rating, two touchdowns, one pick, 250 plus yards,

0:32:01.110 --> 0:32:04.490
<v Speaker 1>three straight games. Vikings, what do you think? Upgrade, right?

0:32:04.730 --> 0:32:08.650
<v Speaker 8>Smith fires 48 yards from Smith to Mitchell.

0:32:08.990 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Jets offense, 33 points versus the Black Hole. That's supposed

0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 1>to be enough to win a game. They've put up

0:32:15.380 --> 0:32:17.220
<v Speaker 1>25-plus in each of their last two.

0:32:17.240 --> 0:32:18.940
<v Speaker 5>In the red zone once again.

0:32:19.500 --> 0:32:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Smith fires. End zone.

0:32:21.620 --> 0:32:21.940
<v Speaker 5>Caught.

0:32:22.310 --> 0:32:25.830
<v Speaker 1>Jason Sanders with four field goals, though. New York only

0:32:25.870 --> 0:32:27.890
<v Speaker 1>went two for six in the red zone. That's a

0:32:27.950 --> 0:32:30.730
<v Speaker 1>lot of points left on the cutting room floor. Kansas

0:32:30.750 --> 0:32:33.910
<v Speaker 1>City's defense has been tough this year. Points per game,

0:32:34.030 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>pass defense numbers are strong. But they did give up

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:40.790
<v Speaker 1>28 points to Denver. 15 in the fourth quarter, so

0:32:40.830 --> 0:32:43.110
<v Speaker 1>they don't come in with swagger. It's Coleman.

0:32:43.310 --> 0:32:45.250
<v Speaker 5>Just had the big play. Up he goes.

0:32:45.690 --> 0:32:46.870
<v Speaker 2>He's in for the lead.

0:32:47.290 --> 0:32:50.010
<v Speaker 1>They did hold Denver to two for 11 on third down,

0:32:50.070 --> 0:32:52.670
<v Speaker 1>but let them convert all three red zone chances, two

0:32:52.710 --> 0:32:55.530
<v Speaker 1>of them on fourth down on basically the same kind

0:32:55.570 --> 0:32:59.170
<v Speaker 1>of play. Both TD passes by Bo Nix. Geno just

0:32:59.210 --> 0:33:01.720
<v Speaker 1>needs to fake a handoff to the left and roll right.

0:33:01.940 --> 0:33:04.620
<v Speaker 1>Smith taking on a secondary that gave up a 100-plus

0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:08.230
<v Speaker 1>rate to Nix without picking him off. He had been struggling, too.

0:33:08.260 --> 0:33:11.580
<v Speaker 13>Good for 24. It's been a quiet start to the year.

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:13.220
<v Speaker 13>That's an awakening right there.

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 1>KC should also be putting out calls for a pass rusher.

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Only one sack on 32 pass attempts. Only have nine

0:33:20.020 --> 0:33:23.360
<v Speaker 1>over seven games. No team has fewer. Geno took two

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.700
<v Speaker 1>on 32 pass attempts versus Vegas. It's in the meh range.

0:33:26.980 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Last key puzzle piece, how KC plays Braylon Allen. Man,

0:33:31.140 --> 0:33:33.740
<v Speaker 1>is he on a bender? KC's front, though, is one

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:35.980
<v Speaker 1>of the toughest to run on. Held Denver to 3.3

0:33:35.980 --> 0:33:58.870
<v Speaker 1>per attempt. bringing their season average down to 3-5.

0:33:59.510 --> 0:34:03.010
<v Speaker 15>Midair, Gilman just puts a lick on them and keeps

0:34:03.030 --> 0:34:03.610
<v Speaker 15>them short.

0:34:04.590 --> 0:34:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Washington at home this week after snapping a three-game winless streak,

0:34:08.489 --> 0:34:12.879
<v Speaker 1>first Jaden Daniels' victory in 13 months. He's got it

0:34:13.120 --> 0:34:13.860
<v Speaker 1>inside for two.

0:34:14.820 --> 0:34:16.330
<v Speaker 2>And it makes it a 17-point game.

0:34:16.530 --> 0:34:19.030
<v Speaker 1>Keeping the train on the tracks, though, won't be easy.

0:34:19.110 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>The LA Rams are in town, who may finally get

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to see what their dream defensive pairing would look like,

0:34:25.320 --> 0:34:27.750
<v Speaker 1>and even with just half of it, they have not

0:34:27.790 --> 0:34:29.670
<v Speaker 1>been an easy team to score on lately.

0:34:30.270 --> 0:34:34.010
<v Speaker 2>And it is taken down by McCulkey.

0:34:34.030 --> 0:34:35.410
<v Speaker 5>He is going to be rolled short.

0:34:35.710 --> 0:34:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Only one team has scored more than 21 points versus L.A.

0:34:38.890 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 1>in their last five games. They held the Chargers to

0:34:41.900 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 1>zero touchdowns last week, just three field goals. Daniels faces

0:34:46.540 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 1>a secondary that has been tough on just about every

0:34:49.219 --> 0:34:52.660
<v Speaker 1>quarterback they've faced, picked off Justin Herbert twice.

0:34:53.000 --> 0:34:53.669
<v Speaker 2>Herbert looking in.

0:34:53.590 --> 0:34:55.950
<v Speaker 5>That direction, and it is picked off.

0:34:55.910 --> 0:34:56.790
<v Speaker 2>By Clinton Lake.

0:34:57.070 --> 0:35:00.609
<v Speaker 1>Two key cornerbacks left last week's game hurt, though. Trent

0:35:00.650 --> 0:35:03.870
<v Speaker 1>McDuffie hurt his back. Jalen Watson hurt his shoulder.

0:35:04.370 --> 0:35:04.509
<v Speaker 6>L.A.

0:35:04.510 --> 0:35:07.730
<v Speaker 1>'s pass rush only has 12 sacks over eight games,

0:35:08.010 --> 0:35:11.570
<v Speaker 1>added two more to their total last week, 32 pass attempts.

0:35:11.870 --> 0:35:14.109
<v Speaker 1>But Daniels may be the first one to see what

0:35:14.150 --> 0:35:16.989
<v Speaker 1>it's like to have A.D. and Miles Garrett chasing you

0:35:17.030 --> 0:35:20.029
<v Speaker 1>around if Miles is ready to jump off the bike

0:35:20.090 --> 0:35:23.210
<v Speaker 1>and onto the field this week. Daniels took two sacks

0:35:23.270 --> 0:35:27.170
<v Speaker 1>on 29 pass attempts versus Philadelphia. has been dropped two-plus

0:35:27.190 --> 0:35:34.879
<v Speaker 1>times in each of his last three games. Jaden comes

0:35:34.940 --> 0:35:38.930
<v Speaker 1>off a clean game, though, not necessarily spectacular. Only completed

0:35:38.930 --> 0:35:41.609
<v Speaker 1>16 of his 29 passes, but connected on a few

0:35:41.690 --> 0:35:46.100
<v Speaker 1>long ones. 217 yards, one touchdown without throwing a pick.

0:35:50.780 --> 0:35:55.489
<v Speaker 1>Diggs caught that touchdown, 38 yards versus the Eagles. Antonio

0:35:55.550 --> 0:35:59.350
<v Speaker 1>Williams caught a 30-yard pass as part of a 54-yard night.

0:35:59.469 --> 0:36:03.800
<v Speaker 16>Daniels wafting downfield and the looking Williams holds off.

0:36:04.150 --> 0:36:06.930
<v Speaker 1>Traylon Burks led the team with 83 yards on the

0:36:06.969 --> 0:36:08.950
<v Speaker 1>back of a 53-yard reception.

0:36:08.969 --> 0:36:14.380
<v Speaker 17>Looking deep, downfield, breaking open Burks, flag down, he's got it!

0:36:14.460 --> 0:36:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Inside the 10 to the 6-yard line!

0:36:16.400 --> 0:36:20.060
<v Speaker 1>Commanders employed a committee approach, down low versus Philadelphia. It

0:36:20.140 --> 0:36:24.629
<v Speaker 1>worked well enough. Daniels ran for 23 yards, Jeremy McNichols, 21,

0:36:24.630 --> 0:36:30.419
<v Speaker 1>Austin Eckler, 36, and Rashad White, 55. Each guy hitting

0:36:30.460 --> 0:36:34.350
<v Speaker 1>at 4-2 a carry or better racked up 135 rush

0:36:34.390 --> 0:36:36.810
<v Speaker 1>yards on 5-2 a pop when it was all said

0:36:36.850 --> 0:36:37.189
<v Speaker 1>and done.

0:36:37.210 --> 0:36:42.390
<v Speaker 12>And Rashawn White looking to have the finishing exclamation point

0:36:42.489 --> 0:36:43.290
<v Speaker 12>goes down to the three.

0:36:43.350 --> 0:36:43.529
<v Speaker 6>L.A.

0:36:43.550 --> 0:36:46.669
<v Speaker 1>Was tough on their SoCal counterparts, holding them to 2-6

0:36:46.730 --> 0:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>per attempt, brought their season average down to 4 a carry.

0:36:49.940 --> 0:36:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Big picture, L.A. 's defense squabbling up with what has

0:36:53.560 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 1>been an inconsistent Washington offense. They put up 22 and

0:36:57.280 --> 0:37:01.630
<v Speaker 1>20 points weeks one and two. then 26, then 13,

0:37:01.630 --> 0:37:10.660
<v Speaker 1>then 27, then 17, then 27 last week. They have

0:37:10.700 --> 0:37:15.279
<v Speaker 1>a 22-point-per-game offense and a 26-point-per-game D that's terrible on

0:37:15.340 --> 0:37:18.440
<v Speaker 1>third down and in the red zone, which helps explain

0:37:18.460 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 1>their 2-4-1 record. But they do come off a good

0:37:21.340 --> 0:37:25.500
<v Speaker 1>defensive outing, held Philadelphia's Tanner McKee offense to 10 points,

0:37:25.910 --> 0:37:29.310
<v Speaker 1>No passing touchdowns allowed to him. Picked him off. Held

0:37:29.350 --> 0:37:32.030
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles to 3.9 yards per play.

0:37:37.390 --> 0:37:37.830
<v Speaker 2>The L.A.

0:37:37.950 --> 0:37:41.210
<v Speaker 1>Offense they wrestle with this week has usually been good

0:37:41.250 --> 0:37:44.540
<v Speaker 1>enough for 24 or more points. Put up 24 versus

0:37:44.580 --> 0:37:47.319
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers. Have scored at least that many in six

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of their last seven games.

0:37:48.940 --> 0:37:50.940
<v Speaker 2>Was a clunky 24 last week. Three for 11 on

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:51.600
<v Speaker 2>third down.

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:59.680
<v Speaker 1>And Matthew Stafford only generated 157 yards through the air

0:37:59.700 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he threw a pick.

0:38:00.719 --> 0:38:05.779
<v Speaker 10>Stafford floats in and a dangerous pass right to Tarheap still.

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:09.460
<v Speaker 1>Stafford hasn't thrown for 200 yards in back-to-back games, and

0:38:09.500 --> 0:38:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not a sack problem, only one taken in each

0:38:12.500 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 1>of their last two. The Washington pass rush he faces

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:18.540
<v Speaker 1>next fired it up to the tune of five sacks

0:38:18.600 --> 0:38:22.270
<v Speaker 1>versus Philadelphia. Only 16 for the season after that, but

0:38:22.330 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Odafe Owe picked up his fourth of the year. Caleb

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 1>on Chason got one. He has three and a half now.

0:38:28.940 --> 0:38:31.739
<v Speaker 2>They held Saquon Barkley to 2.3 a carry.

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:39.049
<v Speaker 1>Elijah Mitchell to 3.1. And while they haven't played the

0:38:39.090 --> 0:38:42.069
<v Speaker 1>pass as well as they played McKee, haven't rushed the

0:38:42.110 --> 0:38:44.710
<v Speaker 1>quarterback as well as they did last week, they have

0:38:44.770 --> 0:38:47.420
<v Speaker 1>been tough to run on most games as they're now

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:49.660
<v Speaker 1>holding rush attacks to 3.9 a carry.

0:38:50.260 --> 0:38:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Barkley left.

0:38:53.790 --> 0:38:53.910
<v Speaker 5>L.A.

0:38:53.910 --> 0:38:56.590
<v Speaker 1>'s run game has carried them the last two weeks.

0:38:56.890 --> 0:39:00.370
<v Speaker 1>Kyron Williams wasn't super efficient week eight, but 56 yards

0:39:00.390 --> 0:39:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and a touchdown. He has scored in four of their

0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:03.560
<v Speaker 1>last five now.

0:39:03.820 --> 0:39:04.420
<v Speaker 2>Three tight ends.

0:39:05.100 --> 0:39:05.500
<v Speaker 6>Run play.

0:39:05.980 --> 0:39:06.620
<v Speaker 2>It's Williams.

0:39:06.900 --> 0:39:07.799
<v Speaker 12>It's a cut.

0:39:07.900 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a touchdown.

0:39:08.700 --> 0:39:13.300
<v Speaker 1>Blake Corum with 70-plus yards. Back-to-back games. 4.7 per attempt

0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:16.140
<v Speaker 1>or better in his last three. Scores in three of

0:39:16.180 --> 0:39:20.990
<v Speaker 1>his last four. Touchdown, 73 yards, 6-6 per handoff versus

0:39:21.030 --> 0:39:21.590
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers.

0:39:22.310 --> 0:39:24.029
<v Speaker 2>To what has been successful early.

0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 12>What a move by Toro.

0:39:26.100 --> 0:39:29.650
<v Speaker 1>Kuka Nakua, the other consistent playmaker for their offense lately.

0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:32.290
<v Speaker 1>He has gone for at least 68 yards in all

0:39:32.350 --> 0:39:34.850
<v Speaker 1>six of his games, 80 yards last week and a

0:39:34.890 --> 0:39:35.610
<v Speaker 1>trip to the zone.

0:39:36.219 --> 0:39:39.910
<v Speaker 10>Now it's Nakur on the screen, poking Nakur to the

0:39:39.950 --> 0:39:41.089
<v Speaker 10>end zone, touchdown.

0:39:41.130 --> 0:39:43.989
<v Speaker 1>Tutu Atwell did chip in 52 yards, got away for

0:39:44.010 --> 0:39:45.130
<v Speaker 1>a 40-yard reception.

0:39:45.150 --> 0:39:46.910
<v Speaker 2>Looking for Tutu Atwell.

0:39:46.950 --> 0:39:50.440
<v Speaker 10>This is what they were hoping to find, a deep ball.

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 2>To the speedster Tutu.

0:39:51.500 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Man, they cannot get the kicking game right, though. Two

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 1>illegal short kickoffs from Joshua Cardy. Washington with nine flags

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.430
<v Speaker 1>in their win, so both teams have plenty to clean

0:40:01.489 --> 0:40:05.060
<v Speaker 1>up on the side. Texans head west after a week

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:08.600
<v Speaker 1>off 10 games to play. Can maybe afford one more

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:11.470
<v Speaker 1>loss and still make the playoffs, but their opponent this

0:40:11.550 --> 0:40:15.509
<v Speaker 1>week is a must-beat, so this is a do-or-die situation.

0:40:15.530 --> 0:40:18.910
<v Speaker 2>Stewart coming in on it. They're bringing the house, and

0:40:18.930 --> 0:40:19.670
<v Speaker 2>McCarthy goes down.

0:40:19.730 --> 0:40:22.930
<v Speaker 1>They take on the L.A. Chargers, the only team in

0:40:22.950 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the NFL that hasn't won a game.

0:40:25.500 --> 0:40:26.160
<v Speaker 5>Henry down a.

0:40:26.120 --> 0:40:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Score, but it's thrown away, and it's Trent McDuffie who

0:40:30.160 --> 0:40:31.060
<v Speaker 2>gets Herbert again.

0:40:31.690 --> 0:40:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Do I need to elaborate or is that enough? Houston

0:40:34.400 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 1>takes on an L.A. offense that hasn't rushed for 75

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:41.120
<v Speaker 1>yards in their last two games, 64 yards versus the

0:40:41.160 --> 0:40:44.570
<v Speaker 1>Rams on 2-6 a carry. Justin Herbert leads the NFL

0:40:44.610 --> 0:40:48.330
<v Speaker 1>in INTs with 10, two more last week. At least

0:40:48.590 --> 0:40:51.470
<v Speaker 1>one in every game, he's taken at least two sacks

0:40:51.510 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 1>in every game, two more a week ago. Offense hasn't

0:41:01.920 --> 0:41:05.120
<v Speaker 1>even scored 10 points two games in a row, nine

0:41:05.219 --> 0:41:08.760
<v Speaker 1>versus the other L.A. team, under 18 points in six

0:41:08.820 --> 0:41:09.959
<v Speaker 1>of seven games now.

0:41:10.320 --> 0:41:13.980
<v Speaker 10>And it is picked up by Clinton Lake.

0:41:14.590 --> 0:41:17.089
<v Speaker 1>To be fair, Herbert still might be coming off his

0:41:17.130 --> 0:41:22.450
<v Speaker 1>best game. 24 of 32 for 257 yards. Ladd McConkie

0:41:22.550 --> 0:41:25.930
<v Speaker 1>with 86, 54, coming on a Hail Mary try. He

0:41:26.010 --> 0:41:27.910
<v Speaker 1>caught it, but even that didn't work.

0:41:28.469 --> 0:41:32.290
<v Speaker 6>And it is taken down by McConkie.

0:41:32.310 --> 0:41:32.450
<v Speaker 16>L.A.

0:41:32.450 --> 0:41:35.489
<v Speaker 1>'s offense not up against the defense we thought they were,

0:41:35.710 --> 0:41:38.230
<v Speaker 1>as Dennis Green might have put it. They're giving up

0:41:38.230 --> 0:41:42.050
<v Speaker 1>24 points a game this year, are mid on third down,

0:41:42.219 --> 0:41:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and worse in the red zone.

0:41:43.989 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 13>Five defensive line now tells me they're tired of the

0:41:48.020 --> 0:41:50.580
<v Speaker 13>Giants getting five, six.

0:41:50.580 --> 0:41:51.540
<v Speaker 5>Yards a run.

0:41:51.940 --> 0:41:54.819
<v Speaker 1>And it's the secondary that Herbert faces that's seen the

0:41:54.860 --> 0:41:58.940
<v Speaker 1>big drop off. Over 240 passing yards per game allowed,

0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a mid-90s rate. Cornerback Kamari Lassiter, the big culprit, allowing

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:08.950
<v Speaker 1>424 yards per No other DB in the game had

0:42:08.989 --> 0:42:11.030
<v Speaker 1>allowed more after seven weeks.

0:42:11.650 --> 0:42:13.030
<v Speaker 2>He's going to take a deep shot.

0:42:13.370 --> 0:42:16.630
<v Speaker 10>He's got some separation and he's got Malik neighbors.

0:42:16.890 --> 0:42:19.650
<v Speaker 1>Herbert still has to worry about Will Anderson and company.

0:42:19.730 --> 0:42:23.740
<v Speaker 1>They do have 21 sacks. Daniil Hunter with four. Anderson,

0:42:23.780 --> 0:42:26.620
<v Speaker 1>the sack leader after seven weeks with seven and a half.

0:42:26.820 --> 0:42:29.380
<v Speaker 17>Texans coming with four and they're going to get to

0:42:29.420 --> 0:42:30.020
<v Speaker 17>Ward again.

0:42:30.500 --> 0:42:31.240
<v Speaker 5>It's Anderson.

0:42:31.850 --> 0:42:35.050
<v Speaker 1>And Houston is still making life rough on ball carriers,

0:42:35.130 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 1>holding them to 3.8 a carry. So it's that pass

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:39.700
<v Speaker 1>defense that's let them down.

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:43.759
<v Speaker 2>Into the arms of Daniil Hunter. One yard short of

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:44.520
<v Speaker 2>a first down.

0:42:44.660 --> 0:42:48.819
<v Speaker 1>Even in defeat, Chargers defense still looked respectable last week.

0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:51.299
<v Speaker 1>Kind of been the theme all year. Held the Rams

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:55.450
<v Speaker 1>to 24 points. They held Matthew Stafford to 157 yards

0:42:55.790 --> 0:42:57.950
<v Speaker 1>and a low 80s rate. Picked him off.

0:42:57.989 --> 0:43:02.879
<v Speaker 10>Stafford floats in and a dangerous pass right to Tarheap Still.

0:43:03.260 --> 0:43:06.799
<v Speaker 1>For all intents and purposes, C.J. Stroud hit the post-bye

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.600
<v Speaker 1>part of his year in a good spot, only one INT,

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:15.650
<v Speaker 1>a 100-plus rating, while throwing for more than 265 yards

0:43:15.710 --> 0:43:16.250
<v Speaker 1>per game.

0:43:16.270 --> 0:43:22.300
<v Speaker 8>Stroud steps up, and now he throws to the end zone, touchdown!

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:25.990
<v Speaker 1>The Texans' offense, the L.A. 's defense, rustles with. By

0:43:26.070 --> 0:43:28.760
<v Speaker 1>no means perfect, middle of the pack in the red zone,

0:43:29.100 --> 0:43:31.379
<v Speaker 1>not good on third down, but they have at least

0:43:31.520 --> 0:43:34.759
<v Speaker 1>mustered 23 points per game, which was supposed to be

0:43:34.820 --> 0:43:37.839
<v Speaker 1>good enough to win games with the defense they thought

0:43:37.900 --> 0:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>they had.

0:43:38.420 --> 0:43:41.350
<v Speaker 12>Off the plate fake, they throw to the back of

0:43:41.370 --> 0:43:42.190
<v Speaker 12>the X, and it cuts!

0:43:42.210 --> 0:43:43.209
<v Speaker 2>Falling straight to the right!

0:43:43.950 --> 0:43:47.010
<v Speaker 1>Stroud has five options to throw to for the most part.

0:43:47.350 --> 0:43:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Recently acquired Marvin Harrison, Keyshawn Booty, a 27-yard-per-game guy so far,

0:43:53.060 --> 0:43:57.339
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Hutchinson, 37 a game, Tank Dell went for 43

0:43:57.340 --> 0:44:00.530
<v Speaker 1>yards in his first game back from injury, Dalton Schultz,

0:44:00.530 --> 0:44:05.790
<v Speaker 1>46 per game. Jalen Knoll, 47, Nico Collins, the only

0:44:05.850 --> 0:44:09.750
<v Speaker 1>guy with more than 50 at 65 per game, three TDs.

0:44:09.950 --> 0:44:13.950
<v Speaker 16>From the 15-yard line, wide open, first down and much more,

0:44:14.010 --> 0:44:15.489
<v Speaker 16>Nico Collins!

0:44:15.510 --> 0:44:15.660
<v Speaker 12>L.A.

0:44:15.660 --> 0:44:19.320
<v Speaker 1>'s pass rush after a dude who's been sacked 15 times,

0:44:19.500 --> 0:44:24.280
<v Speaker 1>so average. Right tackle Trenton Brown, left tackle Ariante Ursary,

0:44:24.580 --> 0:44:27.459
<v Speaker 1>guard Keelan Rutledge, three sacks allowed each.

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:30.070
<v Speaker 2>Here they come, got away from Howell.

0:44:30.330 --> 0:44:30.830
<v Speaker 15>Blocked down!

0:44:32.020 --> 0:44:35.650
<v Speaker 1>Carolina Panthers back for some home cooking. All that cheese

0:44:35.730 --> 0:44:38.490
<v Speaker 1>last week didn't sit well, sent them to their second

0:44:38.530 --> 0:44:41.850
<v Speaker 1>straight loss, which has them sitting a game under 500.

0:44:41.850 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 7>He theoretically has time, but with all the pressure he's

0:44:45.540 --> 0:44:46.900
<v Speaker 7>been under, he got uncomfortable.

0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:48.220
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't make it on fourth down.

0:44:48.540 --> 0:44:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Still right there in the NFC South, though. Hey, Glass

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Joe and Wiley Coyote would still be alive in that race, right?

0:44:55.070 --> 0:44:57.509
<v Speaker 1>Won't be easy to get back to. 500, not with

0:44:57.550 --> 0:45:01.520
<v Speaker 1>an ever-improving Denver Broncos rolling into town on a four-game

0:45:01.580 --> 0:45:02.200
<v Speaker 1>win streak.

0:45:02.420 --> 0:45:03.680
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible.

0:45:03.739 --> 0:45:06.080
<v Speaker 5>You can't script it any better. This is awesome.

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:07.530
<v Speaker 2>All on the line.

0:45:07.550 --> 0:45:11.130
<v Speaker 5>Mahomes stepping up in trouble. Doesn't have a chance.

0:45:11.150 --> 0:45:13.750
<v Speaker 12>Quarterback is down by contact prior to pass.

0:45:13.770 --> 0:45:14.770
<v Speaker 3>The game's over.

0:45:15.410 --> 0:45:18.110
<v Speaker 1>What a way to keep the streak alive. Make it

0:45:18.190 --> 0:45:20.740
<v Speaker 1>five and they're following Frank the Tank to the quad.

0:45:20.989 --> 0:45:23.660
<v Speaker 1>Defense came up clutch in the end. Bo Nix took

0:45:23.700 --> 0:45:26.460
<v Speaker 1>care of business on two fourth downs at the goal line.

0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Comes off his first 100 plus rate game. No INTs

0:45:30.380 --> 0:45:32.860
<v Speaker 1>for the fifth game in a row. First two TD

0:45:32.900 --> 0:45:34.100
<v Speaker 1>games since week three.

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:36.520
<v Speaker 13>And now here you go. Fourth and goal. And throw

0:45:36.560 --> 0:45:40.100
<v Speaker 13>it wide open. Wide open and caught for the touchdown.

0:45:40.420 --> 0:45:45.430
<v Speaker 1>How about exactly 222 yards back-to-back weeks? and 28-plus points

0:45:45.510 --> 0:45:49.589
<v Speaker 1>back-to-back games from that offense, 28 versus Kansas City by

0:45:49.630 --> 0:45:51.740
<v Speaker 1>converting all three of their red zone trips.

0:45:51.930 --> 0:45:54.540
<v Speaker 5>It's Coleman. Just had the big play. Up he goes.

0:45:54.980 --> 0:45:56.180
<v Speaker 2>He's in for the lead.

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:59.339
<v Speaker 1>Only two for 11 on third down, so still have

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:01.960
<v Speaker 1>some things to clean up, but Nix, with his sixth

0:46:02.020 --> 0:46:05.899
<v Speaker 1>game without being sacked more than once, Jalen, 39 yards

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:09.740
<v Speaker 1>and waddled in the end zone once, Cortland Sutton, 53 yards.

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Pass, close.

0:46:11.360 --> 0:46:12.140
<v Speaker 5>What a catch.

0:46:12.760 --> 0:46:13.090
<v Speaker 2>Sutton.

0:46:14.380 --> 0:46:15.420
<v Speaker 5>Had to grab it twice.

0:46:15.800 --> 0:46:17.520
<v Speaker 1>And it looks like it's going to be the Jonah

0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Coleman show in the backfield going forward. You know, unless

0:46:20.780 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 1>they happen to land a certain superstar. But Coleman, with

0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:26.660
<v Speaker 1>41 rush yards week eight, led the team with 63

0:46:26.660 --> 0:46:27.730
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards.

0:46:28.010 --> 0:46:29.790
<v Speaker 5>As Nix dumps it off to.

0:46:29.730 --> 0:46:35.710
<v Speaker 13>Coleman, who cuts and goes and goes and goes down

0:46:35.750 --> 0:46:37.070
<v Speaker 13>to the four-yard line.

0:46:37.390 --> 0:46:41.089
<v Speaker 1>Panthers hitting week nine with a new defensive coordinator, not

0:46:41.130 --> 0:46:43.320
<v Speaker 1>being able to get to Jordan Love for a sack

0:46:43.390 --> 0:46:46.380
<v Speaker 1>on 41 pass attempts, not stopping Green Bay in the

0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:48.920
<v Speaker 1>red zone on any of their three red zone trips,

0:46:49.260 --> 0:46:53.319
<v Speaker 1>allowing three touchdowns to Love, 27 points, which is their

0:46:53.360 --> 0:46:56.140
<v Speaker 1>season average, enough to warrant change.

0:46:56.320 --> 0:47:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Throws, caught, then just like that into the end zone.

0:47:00.280 --> 0:47:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Knicks and company face a secondary that gave up 288

0:47:03.640 --> 0:47:07.370
<v Speaker 1>yards to Love along with those three touchdowns. It's a defense,

0:47:07.590 --> 0:47:11.820
<v Speaker 1>already without three defensive back starters, lost another one too

0:47:11.890 --> 0:47:14.799
<v Speaker 1>last week, gave up 53 yards and a touchdown to

0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:18.860
<v Speaker 1>Tucker Kraft, 79 yards and a TD to Matthew Golden,

0:47:18.920 --> 0:47:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and 113 yards to Christian Watson.

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:24.410
<v Speaker 2>Of throws, reaching up, making the catch.

0:47:24.690 --> 0:47:28.290
<v Speaker 1>Despite all the injuries, Carolina has played the pass well

0:47:28.390 --> 0:47:31.820
<v Speaker 1>most games. They picked Love off. and the defense pulled

0:47:31.860 --> 0:47:36.100
<v Speaker 1>three takeaways. And their league worst rush defense heading into

0:47:36.140 --> 0:47:39.390
<v Speaker 1>that game, based on the numbers keep pounding, was able

0:47:39.430 --> 0:47:42.690
<v Speaker 1>to hold the league's worst rush offense to 66 yards

0:47:42.730 --> 0:47:44.390
<v Speaker 1>and just 2.5 per carry.

0:47:44.410 --> 0:47:44.810
<v Speaker 5>Nope.

0:47:45.850 --> 0:47:46.170
<v Speaker 2>Stuff.

0:47:46.469 --> 0:47:49.950
<v Speaker 1>The Carolina offense that Denver draws this week has not

0:47:50.010 --> 0:47:53.710
<v Speaker 1>looked good back-to-back weeks, failing to score even 20 points

0:47:53.750 --> 0:47:56.550
<v Speaker 1>the last two games, five for 18 on third down

0:47:56.590 --> 0:47:58.870
<v Speaker 1>versus Green Bay, and a lowly 3.7 yards per play.

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:03.780
<v Speaker 1>I mean, anything in the fours is ugly, so last

0:48:03.840 --> 0:48:05.500
<v Speaker 1>week was Wren Hoke ugly.

0:48:05.520 --> 0:48:09.420
<v Speaker 2>Look out, batted. Svanez coming in, put the pressure on,

0:48:09.780 --> 0:48:10.419
<v Speaker 2>bats it away.

0:48:10.540 --> 0:48:13.780
<v Speaker 1>At the heart of their struggles, keeping Bryce Young upright,

0:48:13.820 --> 0:48:17.450
<v Speaker 1>and that's problematic when facing Denver's pass rush. Young took

0:48:17.550 --> 0:48:21.870
<v Speaker 1>five sacks versus Tampa Bay Week 7, then six last week.

0:48:22.270 --> 0:48:26.430
<v Speaker 1>Six different linemen assigned blame for one each versus the Packers.

0:48:26.550 --> 0:48:31.090
<v Speaker 2>Third and nine, pressure, sack. Boy, they came from every angle.

0:48:31.260 --> 0:48:33.689
<v Speaker 1>That made it tough for Bryce to produce much, got

0:48:33.750 --> 0:48:37.609
<v Speaker 1>picked off only 209 yards. He's had interceptions two games

0:48:37.650 --> 0:48:40.930
<v Speaker 1>in a row, sub-70 rate games, back-to-back weeks.

0:48:41.130 --> 0:48:44.090
<v Speaker 2>Spat it in the air and taken out of the

0:48:44.110 --> 0:48:44.910
<v Speaker 2>air by Harper.

0:48:45.450 --> 0:48:48.989
<v Speaker 1>Having a sack problem is problematic when facing Denver. They

0:48:49.030 --> 0:48:51.850
<v Speaker 1>may have only planted Patrick Mahomes twice in their win,

0:48:51.890 --> 0:48:54.640
<v Speaker 1>but they hit him 10 times, too. They are top

0:48:54.700 --> 0:48:56.940
<v Speaker 1>five in bags in 2026.

0:48:56.940 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 15>Just watch the amount of Broncos that get out to

0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:02.380
<v Speaker 15>the edge here to put the heat on.

0:49:02.580 --> 0:49:05.819
<v Speaker 1>Their secondary, which is formidable in the big picture, did

0:49:05.880 --> 0:49:09.520
<v Speaker 1>give up over 320 yards to Mahomes, three touchdowns, a

0:49:09.620 --> 0:49:12.950
<v Speaker 1>false start away from a fourth. a 120-plus rate allowed.

0:49:12.969 --> 0:49:17.200
<v Speaker 5>Dan Johnson has it, and he's got one player to beat. One,

0:49:17.260 --> 0:49:17.989
<v Speaker 5>can he cut back?

0:49:18.290 --> 0:49:21.860
<v Speaker 1>Now, they gave up 67 yards to Travis Kelsey, 32

0:49:21.860 --> 0:49:24.870
<v Speaker 1>yards on a play where the defender slipped. They allowed

0:49:24.870 --> 0:49:28.049
<v Speaker 1>128 yards to running back Emmitt Johnson, so it was

0:49:28.090 --> 0:49:31.070
<v Speaker 1>their linebackers who gave up most of the yards. Carolina's

0:49:31.150 --> 0:49:35.010
<v Speaker 1>passing attack is built on wideouts. Jalen Coker scored only

0:49:35.010 --> 0:49:39.140
<v Speaker 1>36 yards, fewer than 40 back-to-back outings, only guy to

0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:44.100
<v Speaker 1>top 50 receiving yards versus Green Bay, Tedaroa McMillan. 58 yards,

0:49:44.360 --> 0:49:46.439
<v Speaker 1>but hasn't cracked 60 the last two.

0:49:46.460 --> 0:49:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Quick flip here. That's a first down. He goes to McMillan.

0:49:51.020 --> 0:49:54.750
<v Speaker 1>Chuba Hubbard, the most productive Panther week eight, seven catches,

0:49:54.750 --> 0:49:58.969
<v Speaker 1>38 receiving yards, 81 rush yards, and a score, had

0:49:59.010 --> 0:50:01.710
<v Speaker 1>to grind only 3.7 yards per carry.

0:50:01.950 --> 0:50:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Hubbard. Breaks through, big gain, first down and a lot

0:50:05.960 --> 0:50:06.980
<v Speaker 2>more run out of bounds.

0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:10.210
<v Speaker 1>Denver's rush defense hasn't always been locked in, but they

0:50:10.270 --> 0:50:13.589
<v Speaker 1>were last week. Avenged the game Kenneth Walker had week

0:50:13.750 --> 0:50:16.370
<v Speaker 1>one against them, held him to 3-3 a carry in

0:50:16.450 --> 0:50:17.310
<v Speaker 1>last week's win.

0:50:17.469 --> 0:50:19.420
<v Speaker 5>Looking for something, nothing is there.

0:50:19.980 --> 0:50:24.060
<v Speaker 13>He is stuffed, and they take the timeout with four seconds.

0:50:24.940 --> 0:50:27.980
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully there's no rain in Spain this week, if you're

0:50:28.020 --> 0:50:31.170
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta anyway. Falcons go from taking out a team with

0:50:31.290 --> 0:50:34.989
<v Speaker 1>zero losses to putting up a zero on the scoreboard

0:50:35.030 --> 0:50:36.049
<v Speaker 1>the very next week.

0:50:36.440 --> 0:50:39.860
<v Speaker 2>Play fake, throw, and it's intercepted. Watch him just drop

0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:40.719
<v Speaker 2>into the throwing lane.

0:50:40.780 --> 0:50:42.030
<v Speaker 5>Michael Penix doesn't see him.

0:50:42.340 --> 0:50:45.660
<v Speaker 1>Offensive waistline can't afford another donut this week if they

0:50:45.700 --> 0:50:49.300
<v Speaker 1>want to keep up. Cincinnati Bengals, their foe, their offense

0:50:49.320 --> 0:50:52.540
<v Speaker 1>had no issues putting up points last week. Dirty Birds

0:50:52.620 --> 0:50:55.939
<v Speaker 1>D trying to slow an O that's popped for 30-plus

0:50:56.000 --> 0:50:57.720
<v Speaker 1>points three straight games.

0:50:58.010 --> 0:51:01.589
<v Speaker 12>He's got some daylight into the end zone. Six touchdown

0:51:01.610 --> 0:51:03.310
<v Speaker 12>of the day for Joe Burrow.

0:51:03.880 --> 0:51:07.819
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati had to overcome four turnovers last week, still went

0:51:08.140 --> 0:51:12.120
<v Speaker 1>for 43 points. 7-for-10 on third down, 5-for-6 in the

0:51:12.180 --> 0:51:16.390
<v Speaker 1>red zone. Bengals now with a shiny 29-point-per-game average for

0:51:16.430 --> 0:51:20.010
<v Speaker 1>the year. Joe Burrow, as the kids call him, comes

0:51:20.090 --> 0:51:24.130
<v Speaker 1>off a 3-INT game, but also comes off a 6-TD game.

0:51:24.450 --> 0:51:29.240
<v Speaker 1>That OT run, plus five through the air... 460 plus yards,

0:51:29.280 --> 0:51:33.660
<v Speaker 1>a 115 rating, 5 straight games, completing 70 plus percent

0:51:33.700 --> 0:51:36.589
<v Speaker 1>of his passes, 100 plus rate in 5 of his

0:51:36.640 --> 0:51:40.729
<v Speaker 1>last 6 now, 4 plus TDs in 3 straight, he

0:51:40.989 --> 0:51:41.989
<v Speaker 1>is rolling.

0:51:42.239 --> 0:51:45.120
<v Speaker 12>Here's Burrow, inside the red zone, lofts it to Higgins,

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:45.890
<v Speaker 12>he's got it!

0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:47.030
<v Speaker 2>Touchdown!

0:51:47.290 --> 0:51:50.550
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing though, he faces a secondary that just

0:51:50.670 --> 0:51:53.410
<v Speaker 1>held a team to zero passing yards.

0:51:53.630 --> 0:51:58.250
<v Speaker 12>First pass, Mayfield looking, end zone, to the back, shoulder

0:51:58.310 --> 0:51:59.189
<v Speaker 12>and incomplete.

0:51:59.370 --> 0:52:01.570
<v Speaker 1>That is a graphic you may never see again in

0:52:01.610 --> 0:52:04.779
<v Speaker 1>your lifetime. Atlanta, only the second team in the Super

0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:08.500
<v Speaker 1>Bowl era to lose a game while allowing zero passes

0:52:08.540 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to be completed. They only faced three Baker Mayfield passes

0:52:12.100 --> 0:52:14.680
<v Speaker 1>in that slop fest, but they played Brock Purdy well

0:52:14.719 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the week before when they beat San Francisco. They held

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:21.260
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay to 16 points, so that's back-to-back games, holding

0:52:21.280 --> 0:52:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it down under 21 points. Season average now down to

0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:25.820
<v Speaker 1>23 a game.

0:52:25.840 --> 0:52:28.989
<v Speaker 12>Flips it back to Bucky Irving, and he lost the

0:52:29.030 --> 0:52:30.670
<v Speaker 12>ball right at the goal line!

0:52:31.010 --> 0:52:33.730
<v Speaker 1>Holding the Bengals to fewer than 21 points would mean

0:52:33.810 --> 0:52:38.550
<v Speaker 1>shutting down Tee Higgins, Jamar Chase, and Mr. Touchdown Mike Gesicki.

0:52:38.950 --> 0:52:41.090
<v Speaker 1>He's looking to make it six in a row after

0:52:41.160 --> 0:52:44.820
<v Speaker 1>scoring in his fifth straight, has six touchdowns in seven games.

0:52:45.140 --> 0:52:49.100
<v Speaker 12>Fifth straight game for Gasicki. It's the longest streak ever

0:52:49.180 --> 0:52:50.879
<v Speaker 12>by a Bengals tight end.

0:52:51.160 --> 0:52:53.830
<v Speaker 1>The record? Gronk. Seven in a row, by the way.

0:52:54.130 --> 0:52:56.610
<v Speaker 1>Jamar has scored in three straight and is coming off

0:52:56.670 --> 0:53:00.950
<v Speaker 1>his first 100-plus yard game, 141 versus Tennessee.

0:53:01.230 --> 0:53:01.550
<v Speaker 2>Trouble.

0:53:01.850 --> 0:53:04.089
<v Speaker 12>Hurdles over a defender. Throws toward the end zone for

0:53:04.110 --> 0:53:04.760
<v Speaker 12>Jamar Chase.

0:53:04.820 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 2>He's got it!

0:53:06.300 --> 0:53:10.250
<v Speaker 1>And Higgins, 148-plus yards in three of his last four,

0:53:10.630 --> 0:53:15.390
<v Speaker 1>after slapping down a season-high 155 versus Tennessee, scored twice.

0:53:15.710 --> 0:53:18.730
<v Speaker 12>Blitz from Tennessee, Burrow throws to the right, Higgins got it!

0:53:19.120 --> 0:53:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Touchdown!

0:53:19.980 --> 0:53:23.460
<v Speaker 1>Burrow did take three sacks a week ago, 48 pass attempts,

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:26.339
<v Speaker 1>so not a bad sack rate per se, but left

0:53:26.380 --> 0:53:29.790
<v Speaker 1>tackle Orlando Brown gave up all three per NextGenStats.

0:53:30.110 --> 0:53:32.790
<v Speaker 12>Burrow looking to throw. Burrow's under pressure. Burrow's going to

0:53:32.830 --> 0:53:33.730
<v Speaker 12>be thrown down.

0:53:34.219 --> 0:53:37.180
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta got to Baker once on his three throws, so

0:53:37.239 --> 0:53:40.200
<v Speaker 1>not bad, really. But that rush defense of theirs, it

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:42.580
<v Speaker 1>became pretty clear the Bucs were going to do nothing

0:53:42.620 --> 0:53:45.359
<v Speaker 1>but run, and Atlanta couldn't stop them. 140 yards allowed

0:53:45.380 --> 0:53:47.040
<v Speaker 1>to Kenny Gainwell on 5-6 a carry. 170 yards allowed

0:53:47.060 --> 0:53:56.650
<v Speaker 1>to Bucky Irving on 6-3 a try. 324 rush yards

0:53:56.690 --> 0:54:04.310
<v Speaker 1>allowed when the game was over. Now they get Chase Brown,

0:54:04.550 --> 0:54:07.410
<v Speaker 1>who won't likely see as much action as Tampa's backs did,

0:54:07.469 --> 0:54:10.110
<v Speaker 1>but he did finally break out of a three-game slump

0:54:10.390 --> 0:54:11.569
<v Speaker 1>that saw him finish under.

0:54:11.550 --> 0:54:11.779
<v Speaker 5>36 a carry.

0:54:12.980 --> 0:54:21.939
<v Speaker 1>Going for 4-6 in attempt, 55 yards versus the Titans. Now,

0:54:22.120 --> 0:54:24.580
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the coin, we have a Cincinnati

0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:27.860
<v Speaker 1>defense that gave up 34 points to a one-win team

0:54:28.120 --> 0:54:32.180
<v Speaker 1>whose offense was averaging 15 a game against an Atlanta

0:54:32.300 --> 0:54:35.390
<v Speaker 1>offense that couldn't score a point. in their most recent showing.

0:54:36.050 --> 0:54:43.580
<v Speaker 1>Of course, the monsoon-like conditions had an impact, but they

0:54:43.640 --> 0:54:46.400
<v Speaker 1>just kept on letting Michael Penix chuck it, and he

0:54:46.500 --> 0:54:49.920
<v Speaker 1>chucked it to the Bucs four times. More INTs than

0:54:50.000 --> 0:54:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Baker had pass attempts. They went 0-for-12 on third down.

0:54:53.660 --> 0:54:56.400
<v Speaker 1>He finished with a 12 rating. And as much as

0:54:56.460 --> 0:55:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the rain impacted things, his decision-making was on blast amongst

0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the team's fans after it was over.

0:55:02.860 --> 0:55:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Pennix, time to throw, and another interception!

0:55:05.440 --> 0:55:08.069
<v Speaker 5>He has not started today the same way he finished

0:55:08.110 --> 0:55:08.550
<v Speaker 5>last week.

0:55:08.930 --> 0:55:12.410
<v Speaker 1>Pennix only had one INT in his previous five games,

0:55:12.690 --> 0:55:15.290
<v Speaker 1>so turning the ball over hadn't been an issue prior.

0:55:15.660 --> 0:55:18.110
<v Speaker 1>He didn't take any sacks on his 24 pass attempts.

0:55:18.450 --> 0:55:20.890
<v Speaker 1>This week, he has to worry about Boye Mafe, a

0:55:20.950 --> 0:55:24.410
<v Speaker 1>sack in four straight games. About Dexter Lawrence, he got

0:55:24.430 --> 0:55:26.830
<v Speaker 1>to Cam Ward once. He has a bag in four

0:55:26.870 --> 0:55:27.890
<v Speaker 1>of his last five.

0:55:27.910 --> 0:55:30.960
<v Speaker 12>Ward, pressure's coming. Try to get away from Dexter Lawrence,

0:55:31.100 --> 0:55:33.879
<v Speaker 12>but Dexter Lawrence had other ideas.

0:55:34.350 --> 0:55:37.890
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence's sack was huge. Bengals' defense, though, comes off a

0:55:37.969 --> 0:55:41.510
<v Speaker 1>rough showing, allowed Tennessee to put up 34 points, convert

0:55:41.570 --> 0:55:44.230
<v Speaker 1>three of four red zone trips. Their secondary gave up

0:55:44.270 --> 0:55:48.070
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns to Ward without picking him off 300-plus yards

0:55:48.130 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 1>allowed to a dude that hadn't cracked 185 six of

0:55:51.719 --> 0:55:53.080
<v Speaker 1>his previous seven games.

0:55:53.600 --> 0:55:55.420
<v Speaker 12>Ward to the middle of the field. It's deflected and

0:55:55.500 --> 0:55:58.060
<v Speaker 12>caught by D.K. Touchdown, Titans!

0:55:58.400 --> 0:56:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Bengals were a sub-90-rate team ahead of last week, gave

0:56:01.600 --> 0:56:04.200
<v Speaker 1>up a rate over 100 to Ward. Now they get

0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Drake London coming off an 8-yard game. Kyle Pitts, 6.

0:56:08.600 --> 0:56:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Jahan Dotson did break away for a 76-yard catch, accounted

0:56:12.239 --> 0:56:15.130
<v Speaker 1>for 95 of Penix's 125 yards.

0:56:15.450 --> 0:56:17.730
<v Speaker 12>Penix is throwing it out of his end zone. Oh,

0:56:17.790 --> 0:56:19.350
<v Speaker 12>and it's caught by Jahan Dotson!

0:56:19.450 --> 0:56:23.489
<v Speaker 1>The strange thing, on some level, Atlanta has Bijan Robinson.

0:56:23.590 --> 0:56:26.130
<v Speaker 1>Why not just play the same game Tampa was playing?

0:56:26.130 --> 0:56:28.939
<v Speaker 1>76 yards, four per carry in the mud.

0:56:29.160 --> 0:56:30.060
<v Speaker 2>Trying to plow forward.

0:56:30.239 --> 0:56:30.399
<v Speaker 8>Oh!

0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:33.960
<v Speaker 12>And he squirts through! 50-yard line and down the sideline!

0:56:34.219 --> 0:56:37.219
<v Speaker 1>You'd think he'd get plenty of play versus Cincinnati after

0:56:37.280 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 1>seeing them give up 117 yards to Tony Pollard on

0:56:40.660 --> 0:56:44.100
<v Speaker 1>5-6 a carry, gave up two touchdowns to him. They're

0:56:44.140 --> 0:56:47.020
<v Speaker 1>now at 4-8 per attempt for 2026, too.

0:56:47.040 --> 0:56:49.620
<v Speaker 12>And Pollard got a first down. Pollard shifting this with

0:56:49.660 --> 0:56:52.430
<v Speaker 12>his feet. Lowers his shoulder at the 10!

0:56:52.430 --> 0:56:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore Ravens at home for Thursday night football have lost

0:56:56.360 --> 0:56:59.299
<v Speaker 1>three straight, have to try and get over the 500

0:56:59.300 --> 0:57:00.350
<v Speaker 1>mark without Lamar.

0:57:00.770 --> 0:57:04.470
<v Speaker 2>Fignano in trouble, and Fignano is dumped.

0:57:04.960 --> 0:57:08.509
<v Speaker 1>And not only that, but the 5-2 Jacksonville Jaguars are

0:57:08.570 --> 0:57:11.390
<v Speaker 1>in town, which sets up a game between a defense

0:57:11.430 --> 0:57:14.740
<v Speaker 1>that just gave up 36 points and an offense that

0:57:14.820 --> 0:57:18.260
<v Speaker 1>just put up 35. Lawrence fakes to him.

0:57:18.280 --> 0:57:20.479
<v Speaker 2>Tootin' has a convoy.

0:57:20.500 --> 0:57:23.890
<v Speaker 17>Tootin' to the 5, and he's going to stroll in

0:57:23.970 --> 0:57:25.010
<v Speaker 17>for the touchdown.

0:57:25.330 --> 0:57:28.610
<v Speaker 1>Trevor Lawrence and his mates, now averaging 28 points per

0:57:28.650 --> 0:57:33.250
<v Speaker 1>game after the Jags offense, scored four touchdowns from 25-plus

0:57:33.290 --> 0:57:37.050
<v Speaker 1>yards out versus Indianapolis. T-Law didn't have to throw much,

0:57:37.110 --> 0:57:40.900
<v Speaker 1>but he still threw three touchdowns on just 14 pass attempts,

0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:45.560
<v Speaker 1>averaged a ridiculous 15 yards per attempt, a 153 rate.

0:57:45.900 --> 0:57:48.960
<v Speaker 1>He's thrown seven touchdowns in his last two games.

0:57:49.120 --> 0:57:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Play action, Lawrence. Good body movement. Lawrence has a man.

0:57:53.860 --> 0:57:54.360
<v Speaker 6>It's caught.

0:57:55.160 --> 0:57:58.490
<v Speaker 2>Just magical quarterback play from Lawrence.

0:57:58.850 --> 0:58:02.030
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence did take three sacks on those 14 attempts, which

0:58:02.110 --> 0:58:03.710
<v Speaker 1>is a rough rate to get planted.

0:58:03.890 --> 0:58:07.690
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence decked. Football is live and the Colts have it.

0:58:07.830 --> 0:58:10.610
<v Speaker 1>But only one blamed on one of their linemen, and

0:58:10.650 --> 0:58:13.890
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't Walker Little, who has taken over at left tackle.

0:58:14.030 --> 0:58:16.110
<v Speaker 1>He held up well in his first outing on the

0:58:16.150 --> 0:58:19.280
<v Speaker 1>blind side. Now Trev tries to keep it rolling against

0:58:19.340 --> 0:58:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a pass rush. that has 17 sacks over eight games.

0:58:23.020 --> 0:58:26.020
<v Speaker 1>Only got to Josh Allen once on 34 pass attempts.

0:58:26.340 --> 0:58:29.940
<v Speaker 1>Trev going after a secondary that gave up 289 yards

0:58:29.980 --> 0:58:33.460
<v Speaker 1>and three TDs to Allen. Baltimore giving up a mid-90s

0:58:33.540 --> 0:58:37.260
<v Speaker 1>rate to quarterbacks for the season. Team giving up 25

0:58:37.260 --> 0:58:42.320
<v Speaker 1>a game after last week. 35-plus points allowed. Back-to-back games now.

0:58:42.660 --> 0:58:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Allen looks. He throws. Slipping to the end zone. Touchdown,

0:58:47.180 --> 0:58:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Kincaid.

0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:52.170
<v Speaker 1>86 yards and a touchdown allowed to Dalton Kincaid. 82

0:58:52.170 --> 0:58:56.090
<v Speaker 1>yards and a TD to DJ Moore. Lawrence only amassed

0:58:56.090 --> 0:59:00.250
<v Speaker 1>210 yards versus Indy. Only two guys with 50-plus receiving yards.

0:59:00.310 --> 0:59:02.570
<v Speaker 1>Tight end Brenton Strange, 55.

0:59:02.570 --> 0:59:06.110
<v Speaker 17>Gets it to the tight end, Brenton Strange. Boy, big breakdown,

0:59:06.150 --> 0:59:08.170
<v Speaker 17>hard stiff arm at the end of the play.

0:59:08.450 --> 0:59:13.030
<v Speaker 1>Fellow tight end Nate Borkert. caught a 31-yard TD. Jacoby Myers,

0:59:13.030 --> 0:59:19.000
<v Speaker 1>24 yards. Parker Washington only 16. Brian Thomas, a 12-yard touchdown.

0:59:19.300 --> 0:59:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Bashawl Tootin with 55 yards, a 30-yard TD, along with

0:59:23.720 --> 0:59:25.060
<v Speaker 1>104 yards on the ground, 6'5, a carry, 39-yard TD scamper.

0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:33.020
<v Speaker 1>He's been good for 65-plus yards in six of seven games.

0:59:33.040 --> 0:59:38.850
<v Speaker 2>This is Tootin'. Tootin' the rock. Tootin' break and one.

0:59:38.870 --> 0:59:39.930
<v Speaker 2>39-yard sprint.

0:59:40.350 --> 0:59:44.130
<v Speaker 1>Ravens' rush defense, strong most games, holding runners to 3A

0:59:44.150 --> 0:59:47.490
<v Speaker 1>to carry, held James Cook to 3A to try, Buffalo

0:59:47.530 --> 0:59:50.460
<v Speaker 1>to 3-6. Lots of yards allowed, but it was due

0:59:50.500 --> 0:59:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to the nature of the game, faced 41 attempts.

0:59:53.660 --> 0:59:56.220
<v Speaker 2>Trey Hendrickson was there, step for step.

0:59:56.570 --> 1:00:00.590
<v Speaker 1>It's not just that Baltimore's defense versus Jacksonville's offense is

1:00:00.630 --> 1:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a lopsided affair based on recent results. This is a

1:00:03.680 --> 1:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>game featuring an offense that only managed 10 points a

1:00:07.100 --> 1:00:10.940
<v Speaker 1>week ago versus a Jacksonville D that shut down Indy

1:00:10.980 --> 1:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to the tune of seven points, plus they housed an interception.

1:00:14.440 --> 1:00:18.910
<v Speaker 17>91 on a pick six by Rayon Lane.

1:00:19.220 --> 1:00:22.169
<v Speaker 1>They held the Colts to four yards per play, three

1:00:22.210 --> 1:00:25.850
<v Speaker 1>for 11 on third down, Jacksonville holding teams to 15

1:00:25.850 --> 1:00:29.939
<v Speaker 1>points per game now. Taking on a Lumberg-like O-face, Ravens

1:00:30.000 --> 1:00:32.680
<v Speaker 1>haven't scored 14 in three straight now.

1:00:32.940 --> 1:00:36.380
<v Speaker 2>Here comes the rush. Fagnano. Nobody home.

1:00:36.660 --> 1:00:39.700
<v Speaker 1>Three for 13 on third down versus the Bills. One

1:00:39.760 --> 1:00:43.050
<v Speaker 1>for three in the red zone. A brutal 2.9 yards

1:00:43.110 --> 1:00:47.130
<v Speaker 1>per play. It's Joe Fagnano. 10 for 21 for 91

1:00:47.130 --> 1:00:50.430
<v Speaker 1>yards off the bench. 4.3 yards per attempt. One pick.

1:00:50.810 --> 1:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>A 40 rating. Three sacks taken on 21 pass attempts.

1:00:55.740 --> 1:01:01.460
<v Speaker 4>Finiano breaks away, but not nearly enough. It's going to

1:01:01.500 --> 1:01:02.500
<v Speaker 4>go down as a sack.

1:01:02.960 --> 1:01:05.820
<v Speaker 1>Needless to say, not one Raven with more than 22

1:01:05.820 --> 1:01:11.430
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards. Rashad Bateman, 22. Jacoby Lane, 13. Zay Flowers,

1:01:11.490 --> 1:01:14.970
<v Speaker 1>not one catch on five targets. The third stringer would

1:01:14.990 --> 1:01:18.010
<v Speaker 1>be taking on a secondary with nine interceptions this year

1:01:18.410 --> 1:01:21.680
<v Speaker 1>after picking off Daniel Jones twice. Only a few teams

1:01:21.720 --> 1:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>have more. They held them to 144 yards, a low

1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>60s rate, holding quarterbacks to a mid-80s rating overall.

1:01:29.200 --> 1:01:31.470
<v Speaker 2>Jones pass, and that thing was nearly picked.

1:01:31.740 --> 1:01:35.350
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville's pass rush with a little mojo ahead of Week 9, too.

1:01:35.610 --> 1:01:38.610
<v Speaker 1>They only have 15 sacks over seven games, but they

1:01:38.710 --> 1:01:43.020
<v Speaker 1>racked Jones three times, Anthony Richardson once... so a four-bag

1:01:43.040 --> 1:01:44.500
<v Speaker 1>game on 30 pass attempts.

1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:49.340
<v Speaker 2>Multiple defenders coming for Jones. It was Eric Armstead.

1:01:49.620 --> 1:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>So maybe Baltimore just steals a page from the Tampa

1:01:52.300 --> 1:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Bay offensive playbook, hand off to Derrick Henry like 35-plus times.

1:01:57.280 --> 1:02:00.910
<v Speaker 1>He only ran 11 times versus Buffalo, but finally found

1:02:00.990 --> 1:02:04.250
<v Speaker 1>some room, had finished under 3-5 a carry in four

1:02:04.290 --> 1:02:07.870
<v Speaker 1>of his previous five games, hit at 4-8 last week,

1:02:07.870 --> 1:02:09.350
<v Speaker 1>53 yards and a score.

1:02:09.710 --> 1:02:10.190
<v Speaker 5>Henry!

1:02:11.570 --> 1:02:13.430
<v Speaker 2>Slices through for the touchdown.

1:02:14.230 --> 1:02:17.340
<v Speaker 1>Giants on the road after a week off. Four 2-1

1:02:17.430 --> 1:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>records sit atop the NFC East and have a real

1:02:20.960 --> 1:02:24.060
<v Speaker 1>belief they could take the division when it's all over.

1:02:24.560 --> 1:02:28.340
<v Speaker 2>Which is exactly what we just saw. And here comes Singletary.

1:02:28.660 --> 1:02:32.470
<v Speaker 12>The former Houston Texan wins the game for the Giants.

1:02:33.300 --> 1:02:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Next step on their quest, a visit to Philadelphia to

1:02:36.260 --> 1:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>take on an Eagles team on a six-game losing streak.

1:02:40.780 --> 1:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Look out. Big sack by Adafioe. Philadelphia team.

1:02:47.720 --> 1:02:50.540
<v Speaker 5>Only the Chargers a longer losing streak.

1:02:50.700 --> 1:02:54.169
<v Speaker 1>Fans are singing cry, Eagles, cry right now. The last

1:02:54.230 --> 1:02:57.950
<v Speaker 1>time they suffered this many losses in a row, 2012,

1:02:57.950 --> 1:03:00.310
<v Speaker 1>which was the last time they lost seven in a row.

1:03:00.660 --> 1:03:02.860
<v Speaker 1>which they are in danger of doing unless they can

1:03:02.940 --> 1:03:05.700
<v Speaker 1>find a way to ignite an offense that hasn't scored

1:03:05.740 --> 1:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>more than 21 points during the six-game slide.

1:03:08.980 --> 1:03:09.540
<v Speaker 2>Open first.

1:03:09.600 --> 1:03:13.000
<v Speaker 16>McKee tries to buy something. Downfield off the hands of

1:03:13.060 --> 1:03:13.980
<v Speaker 16>Darius Cooper.

1:03:14.520 --> 1:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>An incomplete.

1:03:15.480 --> 1:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Ten points versus a Washington defense that most teams have

1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>had no problem scoring on. Five for 15 on third down.

1:03:22.540 --> 1:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>A measly 3.9 yards per play. Tanner McKee, 212 yards,

1:03:24.540 --> 1:03:31.140
<v Speaker 1>no TDs, one pick. A low 70s rate. has looked

1:03:31.240 --> 1:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty much that way in all three of his games.

1:03:33.720 --> 1:03:38.820
<v Speaker 16>Grabs towards Cooper. It is picked off by Washington. Rasul

1:03:38.860 --> 1:03:40.480
<v Speaker 16>Douglas will throttle it down.

1:03:40.500 --> 1:03:43.690
<v Speaker 1>Devontae Smith, you healed up? Nah, man, my thumb is

1:03:43.730 --> 1:03:44.610
<v Speaker 1>still killing me.

1:03:45.050 --> 1:03:45.390
<v Speaker 11>Thumb?

1:03:45.470 --> 1:03:48.330
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was your hammy. Oh, yeah, that too, man,

1:03:48.370 --> 1:03:51.750
<v Speaker 1>that too. Makai Lemon, look, I got it right. Led

1:03:51.770 --> 1:03:53.270
<v Speaker 1>the team with 57 yards.

1:03:53.510 --> 1:03:57.070
<v Speaker 16>Way past to Saquon, floating the ball to Makai.

1:03:56.660 --> 1:03:57.610
<v Speaker 5>Lemon, brings it in.

1:03:58.160 --> 1:03:59.900
<v Speaker 1>Eli Stowers tossed in 53 yards.

1:04:01.260 --> 1:04:06.930
<v Speaker 16>Stowers, got some stats, weaving through, still going to the

1:04:06.970 --> 1:04:08.970
<v Speaker 16>eight-yard line, and it will end there.

1:04:08.990 --> 1:04:13.350
<v Speaker 1>The Giants' defense, Philadelphia's offense, is peering at, hasn't played

1:04:13.390 --> 1:04:16.430
<v Speaker 1>the run great, haven't tracked down as many quarterbacks as

1:04:16.490 --> 1:04:19.820
<v Speaker 1>we expected they would, but they've played the pass well enough.

1:04:20.180 --> 1:04:24.020
<v Speaker 1>McKee facing a secondary, holding quarterbacks to a respectable 90

1:04:24.020 --> 1:04:27.060
<v Speaker 1>rating and more than respectable 6.1 yards per attempt, 184

1:04:27.060 --> 1:04:32.630
<v Speaker 1>yards per game. That's a win for any defense.

1:04:32.810 --> 1:04:36.370
<v Speaker 10>Stroud spinning away, flag is thrown, ball is thrown, it's

1:04:36.430 --> 1:04:37.990
<v Speaker 10>fluttering and it's incomplete.

1:04:38.390 --> 1:04:41.170
<v Speaker 1>They've really struggled in the red zone, middle of the

1:04:41.210 --> 1:04:45.070
<v Speaker 1>pack on third down, but 23 points per game allowed, okay,

1:04:45.270 --> 1:04:46.450
<v Speaker 1>even if it's not dominant.

1:04:46.470 --> 1:04:48.880
<v Speaker 10>We'll try to do it right here with the throw,

1:04:48.900 --> 1:04:51.280
<v Speaker 10>and that ends up stopping the clock.

1:04:51.300 --> 1:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Stover makes the catch.

1:04:52.760 --> 1:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Abdul Carter, Arvel Reese, Kayvon Thibodeau, only nine sacks for

1:04:57.280 --> 1:05:00.930
<v Speaker 1>the entire team for the season, not having Brian Burns hurt,

1:05:00.990 --> 1:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>but still, one of the least effective pass rushes in

1:05:04.020 --> 1:05:07.580
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. And so many fans thought adding D.J. Reeder

1:05:07.640 --> 1:05:09.740
<v Speaker 1>was gonna make a difference in the run game, And

1:05:09.760 --> 1:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>they're giving up 4.8 yards per carry, close to 130

1:05:13.240 --> 1:05:15.060
<v Speaker 1>yards per game.

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Jaden Daniels to the end zone. Two touchdown runs today

1:05:20.070 --> 1:05:21.010
<v Speaker 2>from long distance.

1:05:21.250 --> 1:05:25.270
<v Speaker 1>Saquon did play last week. 13 attempts. Didn't get much going.

1:05:25.490 --> 1:05:29.090
<v Speaker 1>Neither did Elijah Mitchell. But maybe New York's pass rushers

1:05:29.210 --> 1:05:32.510
<v Speaker 1>shop this week. McKee was bagged five times by a

1:05:32.570 --> 1:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Washington pass rush that didn't have many ahead of that.

1:05:35.800 --> 1:05:38.660
<v Speaker 2>Third and four. McKee scared. He lost the football. Got

1:05:38.700 --> 1:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>it back. Lost it again. And Washington is there.

1:05:42.340 --> 1:05:44.740
<v Speaker 1>That mess of an offense has made it hard for

1:05:44.780 --> 1:05:48.100
<v Speaker 1>their defense to stay motivated. Gave up 27 points to

1:05:48.120 --> 1:05:51.570
<v Speaker 1>a Washington offense averaging 22 a game. So have now

1:05:51.630 --> 1:05:54.810
<v Speaker 1>allowed 24 plus in five of their last six games.

1:05:55.250 --> 1:06:00.230
<v Speaker 16>Daniels through an end zone. Stephon Diggs. Touchdown Washington.

1:06:00.800 --> 1:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>If you watched, though, they held the Commanders to 5

1:06:03.120 --> 1:06:06.490
<v Speaker 1>for 13 on third down. 12 of the 27 points

1:06:06.570 --> 1:06:09.270
<v Speaker 1>were on field goals. They came up with a couple

1:06:09.310 --> 1:06:12.870
<v Speaker 1>of sacks of Jaden Daniels, held him to 217 yards.

1:06:13.170 --> 1:06:16.090
<v Speaker 1>Didn't feel like you were watching a bad defense, per se.

1:06:16.410 --> 1:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Nolan Smith, Jalen Carter both picking up their fourth sacks

1:06:19.600 --> 1:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of 2026.

1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:23.540
<v Speaker 2>Daniels, pressure coming, going down.

1:06:24.520 --> 1:06:26.920
<v Speaker 16>Jordan Davis kept the push coming up the middle.

1:06:27.060 --> 1:06:29.290
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Grenard joined the party.

1:06:29.680 --> 1:06:32.470
<v Speaker 1>But law of averages says when you're on the field

1:06:32.610 --> 1:06:35.890
<v Speaker 1>all game long because your offense never goes anywhere, you're

1:06:35.910 --> 1:06:38.530
<v Speaker 1>going to give up points. Now they try and stop

1:06:38.690 --> 1:06:42.110
<v Speaker 1>nine times, too. So when Minnesota lets a quarterback walk,

1:06:42.230 --> 1:06:44.310
<v Speaker 1>good things seem to happen for them.

1:06:44.610 --> 1:06:44.950
<v Speaker 6>J.J.

1:06:44.990 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy has looked like a different quarterback in blue the

1:06:48.300 --> 1:06:51.840
<v Speaker 1>last time we saw him. On the road versus Houston,

1:06:51.860 --> 1:06:56.820
<v Speaker 1>250-plus yards, a completion percentage over 70, a 99 rating,

1:06:57.220 --> 1:07:01.890
<v Speaker 1>nine yards per attempt versus Houston, has thrown for 240-plus

1:07:01.930 --> 1:07:05.450
<v Speaker 1>yards in both games as a giant 90-plus rate in both.

1:07:05.820 --> 1:07:09.340
<v Speaker 10>McCarthy using the arm and that velocity is able to

1:07:09.360 --> 1:07:11.480
<v Speaker 10>connect with the rookie Malachi Fields.

1:07:11.820 --> 1:07:15.210
<v Speaker 1>Giants offense, 23 points per game, have been strong on

1:07:15.250 --> 1:07:17.890
<v Speaker 1>third down and in the red zone and have scored

1:07:17.890 --> 1:07:20.510
<v Speaker 1>27 points in both McCarthy's outings.

1:07:20.730 --> 1:07:25.419
<v Speaker 10>And goal and a touchdown for Tyrone Tracy. Second straight week,

1:07:25.660 --> 1:07:27.959
<v Speaker 10>he's in the end zone, and the Giants strike first

1:07:28.020 --> 1:07:28.580
<v Speaker 10>in Texas.

1:07:28.820 --> 1:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>They have a blink 182 trio going when it comes

1:07:31.680 --> 1:07:35.140
<v Speaker 1>to pass catchers. Malik Neighbors has been that guy for them,

1:07:35.460 --> 1:07:37.780
<v Speaker 1>leads the way with 86 yards per game.

1:07:37.960 --> 1:07:39.780
<v Speaker 2>McCarthy's going to take a deep shot.

1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:43.890
<v Speaker 10>He's got some separation, and he's got Malik Neighbors down

1:07:43.930 --> 1:07:45.360
<v Speaker 10>inside the five.

1:07:45.760 --> 1:07:49.910
<v Speaker 1>Malachi Fields, 35 yards per game, and Isaiah Likely, the

1:07:49.970 --> 1:07:53.590
<v Speaker 1>key third cog, 56 yards per game leads the team

1:07:53.610 --> 1:07:54.690
<v Speaker 1>with five scores.

1:07:54.830 --> 1:07:58.580
<v Speaker 2>Chance for McCarthy, taking a shot. End zone for Likely.

1:07:58.600 --> 1:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>And this game has turned around quite quickly. Touchdown for

1:08:02.620 --> 1:08:03.040
<v Speaker 2>New York.

1:08:03.320 --> 1:08:06.820
<v Speaker 1>McCarthy took three sacks in his Houston start. New York

1:08:06.840 --> 1:08:09.700
<v Speaker 1>has allowed 21 for the year, which is a lot.

1:08:10.030 --> 1:08:12.930
<v Speaker 1>Left tackle Andrew Thomas has given up four and a half.

1:08:13.250 --> 1:08:16.790
<v Speaker 1>Right tackle Jermaine Illuminor, four per NextGenStats.

1:08:17.270 --> 1:08:17.830
<v Speaker 2>McCarthy.

1:08:18.820 --> 1:08:21.720
<v Speaker 10>Away from Clowney, but he will not get away from Lassiter.

1:08:21.939 --> 1:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Cam Scadaboo appears to be out of the doghouse. Had

1:08:24.800 --> 1:08:27.349
<v Speaker 1>a week to heal his hammy, too, which he hurt

1:08:27.490 --> 1:08:30.370
<v Speaker 1>on his last run in their win against Houston, a

1:08:30.470 --> 1:08:32.650
<v Speaker 1>run that was part of a season-best 124-yard game.

1:08:34.680 --> 1:08:36.380
<v Speaker 2>He could stack nice games back-to-back too.

1:08:36.400 --> 1:08:40.519
<v Speaker 10>Philadelphia's defense gave up 135 yards to Washington on over

1:08:40.560 --> 1:08:41.639
<v Speaker 10>five a carry allowed.

1:08:50.050 --> 1:08:52.410
<v Speaker 2>Miami Dolphins at home week 9, one game win streak,

1:08:52.570 --> 1:08:53.689
<v Speaker 2>a thing of the past.

1:08:53.710 --> 1:08:56.030
<v Speaker 16>Back to thinking about how to maybe keep that Miami

1:08:56.050 --> 1:08:57.050
<v Speaker 16>quarterback in state.

1:09:10.930 --> 1:09:13.710
<v Speaker 6>Pass deflected, it's up for grabs, and it's picked off!

1:09:14.229 --> 1:09:16.450
<v Speaker 6>Intercepted by Kevin Byard!

1:09:16.689 --> 1:09:20.410
<v Speaker 1>They welcome the Lions to town. Not the E-Troit Lions, either.

1:09:20.729 --> 1:09:23.670
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you put extra emphasis on that D, man.

1:09:23.910 --> 1:09:26.969
<v Speaker 3>Straight drop, only a three-man rush, but they get pressure anyway,

1:09:27.310 --> 1:09:28.490
<v Speaker 3>and they drop him!

1:09:29.170 --> 1:09:31.509
<v Speaker 2>They brought three, but Skyler Gill.

1:09:31.570 --> 1:09:34.130
<v Speaker 1>Lions know what they can do when they have the ball.

1:09:34.430 --> 1:09:37.330
<v Speaker 1>What can make them really dangerous come playoff time is

1:09:37.410 --> 1:09:40.299
<v Speaker 1>keeping teams to like 21 a game. and they have

1:09:40.350 --> 1:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>held the last three teams to less than 22. And

1:09:43.520 --> 1:09:46.500
<v Speaker 1>you can say, holding Minnesota to 15 points, three for

1:09:46.500 --> 1:09:50.140
<v Speaker 1>10 on third down, isn't that impressive because Minnesota's offense

1:09:50.240 --> 1:09:54.410
<v Speaker 1>isn't any good? But remember, Detroit lost so many starters

1:09:54.450 --> 1:09:57.430
<v Speaker 1>to injury in that game, still picked off Kyler Murray,

1:09:57.650 --> 1:10:11.809
<v Speaker 1>held him to a sub-90 rate. The injury parade with

1:10:11.850 --> 1:10:14.809
<v Speaker 1>this team, though. DB Brian Branch left the game with

1:10:14.830 --> 1:10:19.189
<v Speaker 1>a concussion. He just came back, too. Cornerback DJ Reed

1:10:19.290 --> 1:10:21.330
<v Speaker 1>left with a hurt hip, so have to see where

1:10:21.370 --> 1:10:24.549
<v Speaker 1>they're at before this one, but maybe safety Kirby Joseph

1:10:24.610 --> 1:10:27.389
<v Speaker 1>returns this week. Now, though, they see if they can

1:10:27.439 --> 1:10:31.410
<v Speaker 1>keep chipping away on what are still rough-looking defensive body-of-work

1:10:31.470 --> 1:10:35.470
<v Speaker 1>stats against Malik Willis and Miami's offense. After a couple

1:10:35.490 --> 1:10:39.030
<v Speaker 1>of 24- and 28-point showings, they slipped back under the

1:10:39.050 --> 1:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>20-point line versus New England. which is how they finished

1:10:42.540 --> 1:10:43.780
<v Speaker 1>five of seven games.

1:10:43.860 --> 1:10:46.470
<v Speaker 5>Willis on the move to the end zone, incomplete.

1:10:46.890 --> 1:10:49.090
<v Speaker 6>Just threw that one away, and unfortunately one of the

1:10:49.150 --> 1:10:51.229
<v Speaker 6>ushers took a shot right.

1:10:51.090 --> 1:10:51.610
<v Speaker 5>To the head.

1:10:51.710 --> 1:10:54.500
<v Speaker 1>Key to being held to 19 points versus the Pats,

1:10:54.680 --> 1:10:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Willis taking five sacks. He's taken 21 overall now.

1:10:58.960 --> 1:11:04.930
<v Speaker 6>Here's Willis in trouble again, and he's brought down. Christian Barmore.

1:11:05.050 --> 1:11:08.830
<v Speaker 1>And that plays into Detroit's most consistent strength on defense,

1:11:09.110 --> 1:11:11.630
<v Speaker 1>as only two teams have hunted down the quarterback more

1:11:11.670 --> 1:11:15.100
<v Speaker 1>than them. Do have to track DJ Wanham's status, as

1:11:15.110 --> 1:11:17.070
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the guys who left hurt last week

1:11:17.140 --> 1:11:19.780
<v Speaker 1>as well, but they tracked down Murray three times in

1:11:19.800 --> 1:11:20.300
<v Speaker 1>their win.

1:11:20.580 --> 1:11:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Ions D, which has been improved. Murray can't find anyone.

1:11:24.920 --> 1:11:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Murray is taken down.

1:11:27.340 --> 1:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Now, Willis helped the Finns convert seven of 14 third

1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>downs last week. They battled. And he's been playing better lately,

1:11:33.860 --> 1:11:37.970
<v Speaker 1>so Detroit can't overlook him working off back-to-back two TD games.

1:11:38.240 --> 1:11:40.410
<v Speaker 5>They are rebuilding as Willis looks deep.

1:11:40.670 --> 1:11:42.510
<v Speaker 2>Wide open man. Touchdown.

1:11:42.530 --> 1:11:46.950
<v Speaker 17>Kevin Coleman, his second touchdown of the season.

1:11:46.990 --> 1:11:50.100
<v Speaker 1>Hasn't piled up big yards by any means. Just. 211

1:11:50.100 --> 1:11:53.900
<v Speaker 1>last week. His high came week one when he threw for.

1:11:53.720 --> 1:11:54.080
<v Speaker 5>220.

1:11:54.080 --> 1:11:57.300
<v Speaker 1>The cast he's working with, Malik Washington, 40 yards and

1:11:57.340 --> 1:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a score versus New England. Chris Bell, 31 yards. Caleb

1:12:01.280 --> 1:12:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Douglas and tight end Greg Dulcich, 43 yards each. Kevin

1:12:04.840 --> 1:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Coleman scored as well, led the team with 46 yards,

1:12:07.860 --> 1:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and that was his season high. Their top yards producer

1:12:11.240 --> 1:12:14.770
<v Speaker 1>was Ollie Gordon. He's been their most consistent offensive player,

1:12:15.130 --> 1:12:18.030
<v Speaker 1>ground out 69 rush yards a week ago. has put

1:12:18.070 --> 1:12:20.250
<v Speaker 1>up 69-plus in four straight games.

1:12:20.350 --> 1:12:21.929
<v Speaker 6>Lions have not let rush attacks hurt them most games,

1:12:21.950 --> 1:12:24.370
<v Speaker 6>held Minnesota to 81 ground yards, have held four of

1:12:24.450 --> 1:12:26.830
<v Speaker 6>the last five teams to fewer than 82 rush yards.

1:12:27.090 --> 1:12:28.570
<v Speaker 6>Speaking of rush attacks, Jameer Gibbs is.

1:12:28.570 --> 1:12:45.580
<v Speaker 1>A grown-ass man. He is the biggest reason Detroit handed

1:12:45.620 --> 1:12:47.180
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota their first loss.

1:12:47.400 --> 1:12:53.460
<v Speaker 2>It is working. Gibbs breaking through again. He is feeling it.

1:12:53.820 --> 1:12:57.710
<v Speaker 1>Gibbs with 115 plus yards and three straight, his third

1:12:57.710 --> 1:13:00.690
<v Speaker 1>150 plus yard game of the year last week. And

1:13:00.729 --> 1:13:04.650
<v Speaker 1>if you watched it, you know the 153 yard performance

1:13:04.930 --> 1:13:09.030
<v Speaker 1>was like watching Maximus take down every gladiator in the arena.

1:13:09.400 --> 1:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>6-7 per carry and a score. Are you not entertained?

1:13:14.260 --> 1:13:23.309
<v Speaker 1>Detroit knew it wasn't going to be a high-scoring game.

1:13:23.390 --> 1:13:27.550
<v Speaker 1>Only 19 points. That's back-to-back games. They haven't scored 21.

1:13:27.550 --> 1:13:29.729
<v Speaker 1>They knew the passing attack they have wasn't going to

1:13:29.810 --> 1:13:32.020
<v Speaker 1>light it up. Jared Goff only threw for 176 yards

1:13:32.040 --> 1:13:37.180
<v Speaker 1>and threw his first INT. the asterisk, Jamo fell down

1:13:37.240 --> 1:13:39.900
<v Speaker 1>on the pass. They knew Goff would be under duress,

1:13:40.000 --> 1:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and he was. He took four sacks on 25 pass

1:13:42.880 --> 1:13:46.689
<v Speaker 1>attempts against relentless blitzes, and they saw center Cade Mays

1:13:46.770 --> 1:13:48.110
<v Speaker 1>leave with a hurt ankle, too.

1:13:48.370 --> 1:13:49.250
<v Speaker 5>What he normally sees.

1:13:49.410 --> 1:13:49.990
<v Speaker 2>Look out!

1:13:50.090 --> 1:13:50.590
<v Speaker 5>Pressure!

1:13:50.990 --> 1:13:53.450
<v Speaker 3>Eric Wilson right up the gut and another sack.

1:13:53.890 --> 1:13:56.830
<v Speaker 1>And they still prevailed for the third game in a row.

1:13:57.050 --> 1:14:01.630
<v Speaker 1>Amon Ross St. Brown, only 46 yards. Sam Laporta, 33.

1:14:01.630 --> 1:14:04.330
<v Speaker 1>And they adapted and loaded up on Gibbs, and that's

1:14:04.410 --> 1:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>why they're so dangerous. Jamison Williams led the team with

1:14:07.560 --> 1:14:10.720
<v Speaker 1>70 yards and a touchdown, his third straight game scoring,

1:14:10.729 --> 1:14:13.220
<v Speaker 1>70-plus yards in three of his last four.

1:14:13.500 --> 1:14:16.720
<v Speaker 3>There's 140 total yards. Goff fakes to him, throwing. Jamison

1:14:16.760 --> 1:14:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Williams in for the touchdown. Lions back in front.

1:14:21.370 --> 1:14:25.210
<v Speaker 1>Now, their offense going from Minnesota's defense to Miami's is

1:14:25.229 --> 1:14:27.150
<v Speaker 1>going to feel like playing a game in the soft

1:14:27.210 --> 1:14:30.290
<v Speaker 1>sand on a beach one week to, well, playing on

1:14:30.310 --> 1:14:34.110
<v Speaker 1>a perfectly manicured grass field the next. Only one team

1:14:34.150 --> 1:14:36.639
<v Speaker 1>hasn't put up at least 24 points on the Dolphins'

1:14:36.680 --> 1:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>defense this year.

1:14:37.620 --> 1:14:39.680
<v Speaker 5>I saw Pitt as he throws, looking deep down the field.

1:14:39.820 --> 1:14:41.900
<v Speaker 2>He's got Williams! Touchdown!

1:14:42.840 --> 1:14:45.460
<v Speaker 1>They gave up 24 points to New England, are the

1:14:45.560 --> 1:14:48.979
<v Speaker 1>second easiest team to move the sticks against, secondary golf

1:14:49.020 --> 1:14:52.030
<v Speaker 1>and company dance with, are allowing the highest rate and

1:14:52.090 --> 1:14:55.710
<v Speaker 1>completion percentage in the NFL. They gave up a 140-plus

1:14:55.750 --> 1:14:59.250
<v Speaker 1>rate to Drake May, only faced 20 pass attempts, only

1:14:59.310 --> 1:15:02.309
<v Speaker 1>stopped four of them from being caught. Ten yards per

1:15:02.350 --> 1:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>attempt allowed, all of it fits their 2026 resume.

1:15:06.680 --> 1:15:08.580
<v Speaker 6>Steps up, throws on the run, he's got Pop Douglas,

1:15:09.000 --> 1:15:12.959
<v Speaker 6>and a first down for New England to Mario Douglas

1:15:12.979 --> 1:15:14.379
<v Speaker 6>with his first catch today.

1:15:14.460 --> 1:15:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Miami's pass rush on the other end of the sack

1:15:16.900 --> 1:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>spectrum compared to what Goff just faced They only have

1:15:20.140 --> 1:15:23.900
<v Speaker 1>nine sacks all year, fewest in the league, which makes

1:15:23.960 --> 1:15:27.280
<v Speaker 1>their week eight outing a breakout performance because they did

1:15:27.320 --> 1:15:29.599
<v Speaker 1>get to May three times on those 20 throws.

1:15:29.820 --> 1:15:33.240
<v Speaker 6>May, feeling the heat, and Chop Robinson chops them up.

1:15:34.439 --> 1:15:36.980
<v Speaker 6>A sack for Robinson on third down.

1:15:37.200 --> 1:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>Gibbs does face a front that's tough to run on,

1:15:39.760 --> 1:15:42.780
<v Speaker 1>being they've held ball carriers to 3-8 a carry. They

1:15:42.820 --> 1:15:45.430
<v Speaker 1>held New England to 3-6 per. but it was by

1:15:45.510 --> 1:15:49.450
<v Speaker 1>keeping May to five yards on eight attempts against Corey Kiner,

1:15:49.470 --> 1:15:54.230
<v Speaker 1>5-4 per attempt, Ramondre Stevenson, 4-3, which is what they're

1:15:54.250 --> 1:15:56.030
<v Speaker 1>allowing to running backs this season.

1:15:56.490 --> 1:16:00.500
<v Speaker 6>Snap, rolls on the ground, May picks it up, and

1:16:00.600 --> 1:16:03.860
<v Speaker 6>May is tackled short of a first down by Michael Taft.

1:16:04.800 --> 1:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Saints at home, week nine after a week off. Sure,

1:16:08.260 --> 1:16:11.339
<v Speaker 1>they've lost four of their last five, only have two wins,

1:16:11.400 --> 1:16:22.459
<v Speaker 1>but in the NFC South, two wins means you're a contender.

1:16:22.700 --> 1:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>The Cleveland Browns are in town, still in the thick

1:16:25.340 --> 1:16:28.259
<v Speaker 1>of things despite last week's loss, but have to find

1:16:28.320 --> 1:16:31.090
<v Speaker 1>a way to score points on a more consistent basis.

1:16:37.520 --> 1:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland has only topped 14 points once in their last

1:16:40.960 --> 1:16:44.340
<v Speaker 1>four games. Only six last week, four for 13 on

1:16:44.400 --> 1:16:46.920
<v Speaker 1>third down, 0 for 3 in the red zone, and

1:16:46.960 --> 1:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson coming off an octopus special.

1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:52.820
<v Speaker 2>Four, pocket, fumbles, down he goes.

1:16:53.540 --> 1:16:54.019
<v Speaker 15>What a hit.

1:16:54.380 --> 1:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Watson took eight sacks in a game for the second

1:16:57.120 --> 1:17:00.620
<v Speaker 1>time in their last four games. Left tackle Spencer Fano

1:17:00.820 --> 1:17:03.860
<v Speaker 1>has allowed four in that span. He's given up seven

1:17:03.880 --> 1:17:07.019
<v Speaker 1>and a half for the year. No lineman has allowed more.

1:17:07.810 --> 1:17:09.090
<v Speaker 5>Second down and six.

1:17:09.670 --> 1:17:13.550
<v Speaker 15>Troubling pocket and down he goes.

1:17:13.570 --> 1:17:16.710
<v Speaker 1>One New Orleans defensive strength. Watson does have to worry

1:17:16.750 --> 1:17:20.620
<v Speaker 1>about Carl Granderson and Chase Young. Team has 18 sacks,

1:17:20.780 --> 1:17:25.219
<v Speaker 1>Granderson five, and Chase at seven. That's a one-per-game average,

1:17:25.500 --> 1:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>having a great year.

1:17:26.979 --> 1:17:31.870
<v Speaker 12>They snap it. Rodgers hit. And sacked by Chase Young.

1:17:32.510 --> 1:17:37.370
<v Speaker 1>Watson, meantime, has put up back-to-back 300-plus yard games. 324

1:17:37.370 --> 1:17:40.790
<v Speaker 1>versus Pittsburgh, over eight yards per attempt. No TDs, but

1:17:40.850 --> 1:17:41.830
<v Speaker 1>no INTs.

1:17:43.229 --> 1:17:47.060
<v Speaker 15>Going deep, and he's got him at the 15, and

1:17:47.180 --> 1:17:49.200
<v Speaker 15>fanning down inside the two.

1:17:49.540 --> 1:17:52.500
<v Speaker 1>Browns O guys are lined up to do a little something,

1:17:52.560 --> 1:17:56.500
<v Speaker 1>unless the Saints corrected some things during their week off. Secondary,

1:17:56.540 --> 1:18:00.729
<v Speaker 1>allowing over 230 yards per game. rate close to 100

1:18:00.729 --> 1:18:05.440
<v Speaker 1>cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry oh no 280 yards and two TDs

1:18:05.479 --> 1:18:11.519
<v Speaker 1>allowed cornerback Quincy Riley has given up 285 in three touchdowns.

1:18:11.100 --> 1:18:12.530
<v Speaker 10>And you might get some of those run lanes as

1:18:12.550 --> 1:18:15.050
<v Speaker 10>a quarterback Jefferson trying to get free.

1:18:15.130 --> 1:18:18.370
<v Speaker 2>Double coverage! Hometown kid!

1:18:18.450 --> 1:18:21.650
<v Speaker 1>They did hold Pittsburgh to 16 points last time out,

1:18:21.750 --> 1:18:24.309
<v Speaker 1>still giving up 27 points per game, one of the

1:18:24.479 --> 1:18:27.140
<v Speaker 1>easiest teams to keep drives alive against.

1:18:27.300 --> 1:18:31.820
<v Speaker 12>Third down and long. Rogers steps up and airs it out,

1:18:31.900 --> 1:18:33.379
<v Speaker 12>going for Metcalf.

1:18:33.720 --> 1:18:36.729
<v Speaker 2>Got it! Pulled in inside the five-yard line.

1:18:37.030 --> 1:18:40.530
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland's tight end Harold Fannin is starting to get things going.

1:18:40.530 --> 1:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>90 plus yards back-to-back games. Season high 154 last week.

1:18:46.439 --> 1:18:48.830
<v Speaker 15>Watson to the air. Fannin will get the call. A

1:18:48.870 --> 1:19:02.400
<v Speaker 15>block ahead by Fano. Sampson 62. But once again, nothing

1:19:02.430 --> 1:19:05.490
<v Speaker 15>much from Cleveland's rush attack, Quinshawn Judkins, 25 yards, 2.3

1:19:05.490 --> 1:19:05.790
<v Speaker 15>a carry.

1:19:15.350 --> 1:19:18.190
<v Speaker 1>Sub four per carry and six of his last seven

1:19:18.210 --> 1:19:21.750
<v Speaker 1>at this point, Saints have been easy to run on.

1:19:21.750 --> 1:19:25.670
<v Speaker 1>139 yards per game, 4.8 yards per carry allowed.

1:19:25.770 --> 1:19:28.110
<v Speaker 12>Warren running the ball on second and seven. He's got

1:19:28.130 --> 1:19:32.670
<v Speaker 12>the first down and more. Inside the 40. Drags a defender.

1:19:32.689 --> 1:19:34.010
<v Speaker 12>McKinstry out of bounds.

1:19:34.110 --> 1:19:37.330
<v Speaker 1>Saints offense Browns D mixes it up with can put

1:19:37.370 --> 1:19:40.490
<v Speaker 1>up points. The average 23 a game have gone for

1:19:40.490 --> 1:19:45.110
<v Speaker 1>24 plus against every team save Minnesota and Pittsburgh. They're

1:19:45.229 --> 1:19:47.860
<v Speaker 1>actually top 10 good on third down and in the

1:19:47.900 --> 1:19:51.099
<v Speaker 1>red zone. In fact, they're elite when they enter Scott

1:19:51.140 --> 1:19:51.979
<v Speaker 1>Hansen's abode.

1:19:52.500 --> 1:19:56.160
<v Speaker 12>Underneath, Kamara White opening space inside the five. Ramsey with

1:19:56.180 --> 1:19:58.720
<v Speaker 12>the big hit. It'll be first down and goal, though,

1:19:58.740 --> 1:19:59.420
<v Speaker 12>for the Saints.

1:19:59.479 --> 1:20:04.250
<v Speaker 1>Brown's secondary will be tested by Tyler Schuch. 245 yards

1:20:04.290 --> 1:20:08.230
<v Speaker 1>per game, a respectable 90 rating, one TD pass short

1:20:08.510 --> 1:20:09.990
<v Speaker 1>of a two-per-game average.

1:20:10.330 --> 1:20:14.370
<v Speaker 12>It's going to be a pass play and making the catches, Vele,

1:20:14.550 --> 1:20:15.950
<v Speaker 12>for the Saints touchdown.

1:20:16.729 --> 1:20:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Secondary has a threes company type of group on

1:20:19.640 --> 1:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>their hands. Tight end Jawan Johnson, 36 yards per game

1:20:22.979 --> 1:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>so far, three touchdowns. Devon Vele, 49 per, three scores

1:20:28.220 --> 1:20:31.339
<v Speaker 1>as well. And the star of the show, the Jack Tripper,

1:20:31.400 --> 1:20:35.470
<v Speaker 1>if you will, Chris Olave, 20 plus more targets than Vele.

1:20:35.850 --> 1:20:39.070
<v Speaker 1>Nice 90 yard per game average, two touchdowns.

1:20:39.330 --> 1:20:39.570
<v Speaker 10>Shocker.

1:20:42.140 --> 1:20:51.170
<v Speaker 1>Brown's secondary, not really the reason they gave up 27

1:20:51.170 --> 1:20:54.990
<v Speaker 1>points to Pittsburgh. They held Aaron Rodgers to 172 yards,

1:20:55.350 --> 1:20:58.880
<v Speaker 1>no touchdowns, picked him off, sub-60 rate. They continue to

1:20:58.920 --> 1:21:01.809
<v Speaker 1>be tough on quarterbacks. as they're holding them to an

1:21:01.830 --> 1:21:03.220
<v Speaker 1>83-rating big picture.

1:21:03.450 --> 1:21:07.900
<v Speaker 12>It bounces off his chest, and Ward comes along and

1:21:07.960 --> 1:21:09.120
<v Speaker 12>picks it out of the air.

1:21:09.360 --> 1:21:12.900
<v Speaker 1>Browns with a healthy 21 sacks for 2026, but only

1:21:13.140 --> 1:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>one sack of Rodgers on 25 pass attempts. Shuck has

1:21:16.320 --> 1:21:20.360
<v Speaker 1>taken 15 sacks over five games, five of those allowed

1:21:20.400 --> 1:21:23.939
<v Speaker 1>by right tackle Talisi Fuaga. Nobody else on the line

1:21:23.979 --> 1:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>has allowed more than two.

1:21:25.620 --> 1:21:28.519
<v Speaker 8>That gives him a great one-on-one matchup with the right tackle,

1:21:28.960 --> 1:21:31.500
<v Speaker 8>makes the inside move, attacks the ball.

1:21:31.860 --> 1:21:33.660
<v Speaker 2>No one's better at attacking the ball.

1:21:33.880 --> 1:21:36.740
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara is on handoff duty for the most part,

1:21:36.979 --> 1:21:40.460
<v Speaker 1>averages more receiving yards per game than Rush. Hasn't run

1:21:40.520 --> 1:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>for more than 36 yards in a game yet, only

1:21:43.220 --> 1:21:46.210
<v Speaker 1>averaging three a carry so far. Their rush attack, one

1:21:46.229 --> 1:21:49.010
<v Speaker 1>of the least productive in the league. Taking on a

1:21:49.130 --> 1:21:52.790
<v Speaker 1>rattled Browns front that gave up 200 rush yards to

1:21:52.830 --> 1:21:56.410
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers, won 43 of those to Jalen Warren on

1:21:56.430 --> 1:21:57.930
<v Speaker 1>8-4 per run.

1:21:58.070 --> 1:22:01.110
<v Speaker 2>And oh, the penalties, Brownies.

1:22:10.020 --> 1:22:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Two taunting flags in a game you're losing? That's like

1:22:13.160 --> 1:22:15.479
<v Speaker 1>if Luke were to make fun of Vader's breathing after

1:22:15.520 --> 1:22:19.220
<v Speaker 1>he jumped off that platform. Oh yeah, well you sound funny!

1:22:20.220 --> 1:22:23.019
<v Speaker 1>You know, Chad, right when we thought you couldn't do

1:22:23.280 --> 1:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>anything dumber... Ryland tried to make it so.

1:22:26.560 --> 1:22:27.309
<v Speaker 2>No way!

1:22:27.689 --> 1:22:28.729
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god!

1:22:28.770 --> 1:22:31.870
<v Speaker 2>He missed it! No way!

1:22:32.410 --> 1:22:36.250
<v Speaker 1>You do something like this and totally redeem yourself.

1:22:36.470 --> 1:22:38.550
<v Speaker 2>On the way, and it is good.

1:22:38.890 --> 1:22:40.570
<v Speaker 12>Redemption for Ryland.

1:22:40.930 --> 1:22:44.490
<v Speaker 2>Comeback for the Cardinals. A shocking win in Dallas.

1:22:44.970 --> 1:22:49.179
<v Speaker 1>Underestimate the Cardinals at your peril, Seahawks. Both L.A. teams did,

1:22:49.340 --> 1:22:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and the Cowboys did. Arizona in Seattle this week. Hawks

1:22:53.680 --> 1:22:56.460
<v Speaker 1>only have one more win than their feathered friends after

1:22:56.520 --> 1:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>falling to the 500 mark at the kind of halfway

1:22:59.660 --> 1:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>mark of the season.

1:23:00.780 --> 1:23:05.420
<v Speaker 2>Four. Darnold in trouble. Bears take over.

1:23:05.720 --> 1:23:08.900
<v Speaker 1>Seattle hasn't scored 21 points in three straight games after

1:23:08.979 --> 1:23:12.720
<v Speaker 1>finishing with just 17 versus Chicago, one for 11 on

1:23:12.780 --> 1:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>third down, one for four in the red zone. Sam

1:23:16.020 --> 1:23:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Darnold with an INT in his sixth straight game.

1:23:18.820 --> 1:23:22.390
<v Speaker 11>The Bears do, and now Darnold has the pass batted

1:23:22.439 --> 1:23:26.950
<v Speaker 11>and picked off. Intercepted by James Lynch down to the five.

1:23:27.430 --> 1:23:30.550
<v Speaker 1>The Cardinals' defense they face this week is normally the

1:23:30.610 --> 1:23:33.950
<v Speaker 1>kind a bad O can get right against. They're allowing

1:23:34.030 --> 1:23:36.820
<v Speaker 1>more points per game than any other team gave up

1:23:36.820 --> 1:23:37.920
<v Speaker 1>30 to Dallas.

1:23:38.260 --> 1:23:43.280
<v Speaker 2>That's it. Go with a flag down. Flannoy, a one-handed catch. Touchdown.

1:23:43.780 --> 1:23:46.509
<v Speaker 2>If it stands, a highlight play for Flannoy.

1:23:46.729 --> 1:23:50.090
<v Speaker 1>It's a secondary, allowing the second-highest rate in the NFL,

1:23:50.370 --> 1:23:52.950
<v Speaker 1>over eight yards per attempt for the season, but comes

1:23:53.010 --> 1:23:55.170
<v Speaker 1>off a game that saw them limit CeeDee Lamb and

1:23:55.189 --> 1:23:58.670
<v Speaker 1>George Pickens, to fewer than 60 yards each, held Dak

1:23:58.729 --> 1:24:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Prescott to less than 200 yards.

1:24:00.950 --> 1:24:03.220
<v Speaker 12>Looking at Lamb's direction, and it was knocked down at

1:24:03.260 --> 1:24:06.719
<v Speaker 12>the line and incomplete. LJ Collier has knocked down a couple.

1:24:06.939 --> 1:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>This week, they get to see what it's like to

1:24:08.780 --> 1:24:12.160
<v Speaker 1>cover the Bob Dylan of the NFL, the Allen Iverson,

1:24:12.200 --> 1:24:15.400
<v Speaker 1>if you're talking sports. Jackson Smith and Jigba continues to

1:24:15.439 --> 1:24:18.060
<v Speaker 1>be one of the most amazing one-man fans you'll ever

1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:22.470
<v Speaker 1>lay eyes on. 118 yards and a touchdown versus Chicago.

1:24:22.820 --> 1:24:27.500
<v Speaker 1>Talley now stands at 100-plus and 7 of 8. 985

1:24:27.500 --> 1:24:28.920
<v Speaker 1>yards after eight games.

1:24:29.380 --> 1:24:34.050
<v Speaker 2>Darnold, there he is. Jackson, Smith, and Jigba touchdown Seattle.

1:24:35.910 --> 1:24:39.530
<v Speaker 1>Darnold didn't pick up with anybody else for even 27 yards.

1:24:39.790 --> 1:24:42.540
<v Speaker 1>And Yosemite Sam is staring at a pass rush that

1:24:42.580 --> 1:24:45.620
<v Speaker 1>can play the Buggs role. As they sacked Dak four

1:24:45.680 --> 1:24:49.020
<v Speaker 1>times on 29 pass attempts, they have a respectable 19

1:24:49.020 --> 1:24:57.950
<v Speaker 1>sacks on the season, too. And Darnold took three sacks

1:24:58.030 --> 1:25:01.729
<v Speaker 1>versus Chicago, despite the addition of guard Quentin Nelson. He

1:25:01.770 --> 1:25:05.130
<v Speaker 1>didn't allow any. Right tackle Abraham Lucas and guard Gray

1:25:05.150 --> 1:25:08.130
<v Speaker 1>Zabel did, though. Zabel has now given up a team-high

1:25:08.130 --> 1:25:11.820
<v Speaker 1>4.5 for the season. Darnold has taken three plus now

1:25:11.900 --> 1:25:13.559
<v Speaker 1>in four of their last five games.

1:25:13.740 --> 1:25:18.510
<v Speaker 2>Action, Darnold in trouble and brought down by Bush. Boy,

1:25:18.530 --> 1:25:20.710
<v Speaker 2>this defense is flying around.

1:25:20.930 --> 1:25:24.290
<v Speaker 1>Seattle got Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price back. Neither guy

1:25:24.390 --> 1:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>able to hit it four yards per carry. Price given

1:25:27.040 --> 1:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the most opportunities with 10 attempts. And here again, we

1:25:30.360 --> 1:25:34.380
<v Speaker 1>find Arizona's defense playing better recently compared to their body

1:25:34.420 --> 1:25:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of work. Their season average against the run, 4.3 yards

1:25:37.939 --> 1:25:40.559
<v Speaker 1>per carry, but they held Javante Williams to 2.3 and

1:25:40.620 --> 1:25:41.190
<v Speaker 1>just 54 yards.

1:25:41.200 --> 1:25:47.070
<v Speaker 2>Pistol. Straight ahead, Williams. He's not going to get there.

1:25:47.570 --> 1:25:48.809
<v Speaker 2>Spilled in the backfield.

1:25:48.910 --> 1:25:53.670
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals also hold the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately edge when they have the ball, too.

1:25:54.050 --> 1:25:56.050
<v Speaker 1>How much you want to make a bet, Gardner can

1:25:56.110 --> 1:25:59.610
<v Speaker 1>throw a football over them mountains. Mike LaFleur believed he

1:25:59.650 --> 1:26:02.250
<v Speaker 1>could and put Uncle Rico in in the fourth quarter

1:26:02.290 --> 1:26:04.990
<v Speaker 1>last week, and they walked off state champions.

1:26:05.350 --> 1:26:11.250
<v Speaker 12>Minshew ends out Wilson. He's got it. Touchdown, Arizona.

1:26:11.490 --> 1:26:14.309
<v Speaker 1>Okay, fine. He went in late third. Close enough. And

1:26:14.330 --> 1:26:16.840
<v Speaker 1>they didn't win state, but they beat Dallas in OT

1:26:16.880 --> 1:26:20.300
<v Speaker 1>for their third win, earning Minshew the starting role, took

1:26:20.360 --> 1:26:21.960
<v Speaker 1>over for Jacoby Brissett, went 17 for 23, 188 yards,

1:26:21.979 --> 1:26:28.380
<v Speaker 1>over 8 yards per attempt, a 137 rate. made all

1:26:28.479 --> 1:26:30.740
<v Speaker 1>sorts of blast tyrant types of throws.

1:26:30.900 --> 1:26:35.660
<v Speaker 12>Minshew steps up, looking long. Wilson's got it. Perfect throw

1:26:35.970 --> 1:26:40.030
<v Speaker 12>inside the 15. Clock winding inside 20 seconds.

1:26:40.470 --> 1:26:43.450
<v Speaker 1>Clutch, all sorts of clutch throws. And he gets a

1:26:43.530 --> 1:26:47.070
<v Speaker 1>slightly rattled Seattle secondary. It's rare that group has to

1:26:47.130 --> 1:26:50.230
<v Speaker 1>try and rebound, but they couldn't contain Caleb last Monday.

1:26:50.610 --> 1:26:51.790
<v Speaker 1>Williams went 24 for.

1:26:51.530 --> 1:26:51.970
<v Speaker 12>34 against them.

1:26:51.970 --> 1:26:57.640
<v Speaker 1>247 yards and a TD, no INTs. gave up a

1:26:57.650 --> 1:26:59.019
<v Speaker 1>100-plus rate to him.

1:26:59.420 --> 1:27:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Williams keeps, throws, Burton, touchdown.

1:27:05.580 --> 1:27:09.060
<v Speaker 1>Hawks defense right now in the opposite situation as Arizona's,

1:27:09.380 --> 1:27:11.640
<v Speaker 1>where they have struggled and had a good week eight.

1:27:11.979 --> 1:27:15.349
<v Speaker 1>Seattle's D has been strong but had a bad week eight.

1:27:15.689 --> 1:27:18.629
<v Speaker 1>They've been hard to pass on, not so much last Monday,

1:27:18.950 --> 1:27:21.689
<v Speaker 1>hard to score on, holding teams to 19 a game,

1:27:21.689 --> 1:27:27.060
<v Speaker 1>34 versus Chicago, seven set up by Darnold's INT, 27th,

1:27:27.140 --> 1:27:30.480
<v Speaker 1>still not their typical standard, though. Couldn't stop them in

1:27:30.520 --> 1:27:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the red zone on four tries.

1:27:32.380 --> 1:27:37.410
<v Speaker 2>Right back to the line, Swift to the edge. Touchdown, Chicago!

1:27:37.870 --> 1:27:41.090
<v Speaker 1>It's a pass rush with 18 sacks for 2026, but

1:27:41.130 --> 1:27:44.570
<v Speaker 1>only came up with one last week. Between Brissette and Minshew,

1:27:44.890 --> 1:27:48.130
<v Speaker 1>Arizona did take five sacks to a typically weak Dallas

1:27:48.170 --> 1:27:50.850
<v Speaker 1>pass rush. They have now taken 20 overall.

1:27:50.870 --> 1:27:54.269
<v Speaker 12>The one facet Seattle's defense held their ground on versus

1:27:54.450 --> 1:27:56.260
<v Speaker 12>Chicago was the run game.

1:27:56.270 --> 1:27:58.059
<v Speaker 2>Yes, DeAndre Swift scored three times.

1:27:58.439 --> 1:28:08.700
<v Speaker 1>He was finishing the job, though. They held him to

1:28:08.700 --> 1:28:12.890
<v Speaker 1>2.6 a carry, which fits their 2026 resume versus the run.

1:28:13.250 --> 1:28:14.070
<v Speaker 2>Nowhere to go.

1:28:15.530 --> 1:28:19.050
<v Speaker 11>Jaron Reed was there, as was Derek Hall, at a

1:28:19.100 --> 1:28:19.810
<v Speaker 11>loss of one.

1:28:19.910 --> 1:28:22.939
<v Speaker 1>And here's where we get to the other Arizona offensive

1:28:23.000 --> 1:28:25.180
<v Speaker 1>guy that played a huge role in their upset a

1:28:25.200 --> 1:28:29.500
<v Speaker 1>week ago, Tyler Algier, who broke free for two 50-plus-yard

1:28:29.580 --> 1:28:32.390
<v Speaker 1>runs won a 63-yard TD.

1:28:32.870 --> 1:28:37.430
<v Speaker 12>Algier with a hole, and Tyler Algier gallops free inside

1:28:37.660 --> 1:28:41.360
<v Speaker 12>the 30. Algier cuts it back. gets a block, takes

1:28:41.439 --> 1:28:42.230
<v Speaker 12>it all the way.

1:28:42.570 --> 1:28:43.830
<v Speaker 2>Touchdown Cardinals.

1:28:43.850 --> 1:28:46.470
<v Speaker 1>It would take something special, of course, to do that

1:28:46.510 --> 1:28:50.810
<v Speaker 1>versus Seattle. Algier also scored on a reception, adding 44

1:28:50.810 --> 1:28:52.269
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards to his day.

1:28:52.550 --> 1:28:58.450
<v Speaker 12>Minshew finds Algier, tighter Algier, reaches, oh it's his day!

1:28:58.729 --> 1:29:01.990
<v Speaker 1>Seattle's DBs gave up 87 yards to Roma Dunzey in

1:29:02.020 --> 1:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>that loss, 56 yards in a TD to Luther Burden,

1:29:05.520 --> 1:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>65 yards to tight end Colston Loveland. No one guy

1:29:09.160 --> 1:29:11.940
<v Speaker 1>on the hook for major yards allowed. This week, the

1:29:11.990 --> 1:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>primary two guys they have on their hands, Michael Wilson,

1:29:15.240 --> 1:29:18.740
<v Speaker 1>who saw 15 targets versus Dallas, caught eight of them

1:29:18.800 --> 1:29:22.660
<v Speaker 1>for his first triple-digit game, 111 yards along with that

1:29:22.720 --> 1:29:23.439
<v Speaker 1>big TD.

1:29:23.550 --> 1:29:27.229
<v Speaker 12>Henshaw hit as he throws. Wilson's got it. Comes out

1:29:27.250 --> 1:29:29.370
<v Speaker 12>of his break, and the ball's waiting for him.

1:29:29.570 --> 1:29:32.530
<v Speaker 1>And Trey McBride, of course, has 70-plus yards and a

1:29:32.570 --> 1:29:34.590
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in each of his last two games.

1:29:34.790 --> 1:29:38.520
<v Speaker 12>For wide open Trey McBride and an Arizona touchdown.

1:29:38.939 --> 1:29:42.900
<v Speaker 1>Seattle's Jason Myers missed extra point plus had a field

1:29:42.939 --> 1:29:47.800
<v Speaker 1>goal blocked. Indianapolis Colts at home this week. Man, how

1:29:47.820 --> 1:29:50.200
<v Speaker 1>do you capture where things are at right now? You're

1:29:50.220 --> 1:29:53.100
<v Speaker 1>holding a garage sale, hoping to make enough so you

1:29:53.120 --> 1:29:55.130
<v Speaker 1>can move into a nicer place, but you put the

1:29:55.189 --> 1:29:58.450
<v Speaker 1>couch you bought last year on the card. The math

1:29:58.550 --> 1:29:59.630
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't add up.

1:29:59.790 --> 1:30:01.549
<v Speaker 2>This kind of a game, this kind of a result,

1:30:01.590 --> 1:30:03.610
<v Speaker 2>you just add fuel to the fire.

1:30:03.950 --> 1:30:06.610
<v Speaker 1>But hey, the Alice Cowboys are in town no matter

1:30:06.670 --> 1:30:10.370
<v Speaker 1>how bad your offense might be. the Cowboys' defense might

1:30:10.410 --> 1:30:12.110
<v Speaker 1>be the cowbell for your fever.

1:30:12.430 --> 1:30:16.810
<v Speaker 12>It's on the way, and it is good! Redemption for Ryland!

1:30:17.189 --> 1:30:20.729
<v Speaker 12>Comeback for the Cardinals! A shocking win in Dallas!

1:30:20.939 --> 1:30:24.590
<v Speaker 1>Dallas has a defensive dumpster fire on its hands. Worst

1:30:24.670 --> 1:30:27.670
<v Speaker 1>third down defense after eight weeks, bad in the red zone,

1:30:27.930 --> 1:30:32.170
<v Speaker 1>surrendering 26 points per game after giving up 33 to Arizona,

1:30:32.170 --> 1:30:34.830
<v Speaker 1>20 points given up in the fourth quarter alone.

1:30:34.850 --> 1:30:40.880
<v Speaker 12>Minshew, end zone, Wilson! He's got it! Touchdown, Arizona!

1:30:41.120 --> 1:30:44.500
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jones takes on a secondary that's faced three backup

1:30:44.580 --> 1:30:47.780
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks in their last four games, have now lost to

1:30:47.880 --> 1:30:50.680
<v Speaker 1>two of them. They got lucky Gardner Minshew didn't play

1:30:50.720 --> 1:30:54.090
<v Speaker 1>all game. because they gave up three touchdowns, a 137

1:30:54.090 --> 1:30:56.930
<v Speaker 1>rate to him off the bench, 72 yards and a

1:30:56.970 --> 1:31:00.470
<v Speaker 1>touchdown allowed to Trey McBride, 111 and a score to

1:31:00.510 --> 1:31:05.930
<v Speaker 1>Michael Wilson. Is JT still on the team? Hand him

1:31:05.950 --> 1:31:09.490
<v Speaker 1>the ball 25 times. No team allowing more rush yards

1:31:09.550 --> 1:31:12.309
<v Speaker 1>per game. Only one team allowing more than their five

1:31:12.350 --> 1:31:14.570
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry gave up 147 yards on 13.4 yards

1:31:14.600 --> 1:31:22.570
<v Speaker 1>per carry to Tyler Algier. Two runs of 50-plus yards

1:31:22.729 --> 1:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>won a 63-yard TD.

1:31:24.979 --> 1:31:28.860
<v Speaker 12>Gets a block, takes it all the way. Touchdown Cardinals.

1:31:29.300 --> 1:31:32.120
<v Speaker 1>The silver lining for the Stars' defense. They at least

1:31:32.200 --> 1:31:35.140
<v Speaker 1>came up with five sacks. Only had 10 ahead of

1:31:35.160 --> 1:31:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the game, so that was an outburst. Quinn and Williams

1:31:38.040 --> 1:31:38.680
<v Speaker 1>with a pair.

1:31:38.820 --> 1:31:41.670
<v Speaker 2>Minshew's in trouble, and Minshew is sacked.

1:31:41.890 --> 1:31:45.050
<v Speaker 1>So what's going to give then? Because Indy's offense only

1:31:45.110 --> 1:31:48.660
<v Speaker 1>came up with seven points last week. 10 the week before,

1:31:49.000 --> 1:31:53.179
<v Speaker 1>fewer than 23-4 straight, average 20 a game for the year.

1:31:53.500 --> 1:31:57.780
<v Speaker 2>Jones, no play. Everyone covered again.

1:31:58.400 --> 1:32:02.550
<v Speaker 1>DJ has been sacked 22 times and three taken last week.

1:32:02.770 --> 1:32:07.490
<v Speaker 1>Five straight sub-73 rating games, two more INTs last week,

1:32:07.850 --> 1:32:09.190
<v Speaker 1>nine now for the year.

1:32:09.210 --> 1:32:11.630
<v Speaker 2>He's intercepted again, Branson Combs.

1:32:12.210 --> 1:32:16.019
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Taylor only got eight carries versus Jacksonville. Hmm, I

1:32:16.060 --> 1:32:16.719
<v Speaker 1>wonder why.

1:32:17.120 --> 1:32:20.450
<v Speaker 14>Question marks surrounding Jonathan Taylor will continue. Again, still a

1:32:20.550 --> 1:32:24.280
<v Speaker 14>full week plus before the NFL trade deadline on November

1:32:24.300 --> 1:32:26.040
<v Speaker 14>the 10th. That'll be a week from Tuesday.

1:32:26.670 --> 1:32:30.229
<v Speaker 1>Only Colt with 50-plus yards receiving or rushing Keenan Allen

1:32:30.250 --> 1:32:33.710
<v Speaker 1>with 67. He's like, can anybody call KC for me?

1:32:34.050 --> 1:32:37.230
<v Speaker 14>Jones putting some air under it and completes again. Keenan Allen,

1:32:37.610 --> 1:32:39.010
<v Speaker 14>you read some of the trade reports.

1:32:39.330 --> 1:32:43.309
<v Speaker 1>As ugly as Indianapolis' offense looked post those two trades,

1:32:43.530 --> 1:32:46.540
<v Speaker 1>their defense may have been worse. 183 rush yards given out,

1:32:46.540 --> 1:32:52.380
<v Speaker 1>5.5 a carry. 104 yards allowed to Bashaw Tootin on

1:32:52.400 --> 1:32:54.040
<v Speaker 1>an 8.5 per attempt.

1:32:54.060 --> 1:32:57.320
<v Speaker 2>39-yard sprint!

1:32:57.320 --> 1:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>42 points allowed to the Jaguars. Four touchdowns allowed of

1:33:01.380 --> 1:33:06.700
<v Speaker 1>25-plus yards. Three TDs allowed to Trevor Lawrence. A 153 rate.

1:33:06.700 --> 1:33:09.479
<v Speaker 1>15 yards per attempt is absurd. It was like they

1:33:09.500 --> 1:33:12.559
<v Speaker 1>weren't trying. I'm not saying they weren't. I'm just saying

1:33:12.600 --> 1:33:13.559
<v Speaker 1>it looked really bad.

1:33:13.770 --> 1:33:14.490
<v Speaker 2>Play action.

1:33:14.590 --> 1:33:15.050
<v Speaker 12>Lawrence.

1:33:15.790 --> 1:33:19.010
<v Speaker 2>Good body movement. Lawrence has a man! It's caught!

1:33:19.640 --> 1:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>So now here comes Dak and company. I mean, they

1:33:22.320 --> 1:33:23.540
<v Speaker 1>put up 30 points.

1:33:23.640 --> 1:33:26.380
<v Speaker 10>Dak's under pressure, getting late through his progression, puts it

1:33:26.420 --> 1:33:28.970
<v Speaker 10>on his back shoulder, and he just sticks up that

1:33:29.010 --> 1:33:30.280
<v Speaker 10>big left hand and palms it.

1:33:30.689 --> 1:33:34.349
<v Speaker 1>But 3.6 yards per play is Jabba the Hutt ugly.

1:33:34.570 --> 1:33:36.750
<v Speaker 2>Prescott in trouble and sacked.

1:33:36.950 --> 1:33:40.260
<v Speaker 1>Javante Williams, 56 yards on just 2.3 a run.

1:33:40.560 --> 1:33:43.540
<v Speaker 2>Williams hit in the backfield, not going to get it.

1:33:43.890 --> 1:33:48.310
<v Speaker 1>Prescott didn't even throw for 200 yards. CeeDee Lamb, 58 yards.

1:33:48.590 --> 1:33:52.320
<v Speaker 1>George Pickens, 48. Prescott sacked four times.

1:33:52.479 --> 1:33:54.800
<v Speaker 12>Prescott steps up and gets sacked.

1:33:55.180 --> 1:33:58.740
<v Speaker 1>This sums it up best. Entering last Sunday, the Cowboys

1:33:58.780 --> 1:34:02.320
<v Speaker 1>were 69-0 at home when leading by 14 or more

1:34:02.420 --> 1:34:04.090
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter dating back to 2000.

1:34:04.080 --> 1:34:04.280
<v Speaker 12>Arizona?

1:34:06.300 --> 1:34:12.400
<v Speaker 1>1-147-1 when trailing by that margin in the fourth over

1:34:12.439 --> 1:34:15.439
<v Speaker 1>that same period and then last week happened.

1:34:15.470 --> 1:34:17.390
<v Speaker 12>And there have been some tough losses in the two

1:34:17.450 --> 1:34:20.070
<v Speaker 12>seasons for Brian Schottenheimer and these Cowboys.

1:34:20.100 --> 1:34:21.800
<v Speaker 2>This is right up near the top of the list.
