1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everybody. This is Will self and these

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: are your good morning football headlines from NFL Network. Well,

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: we've been piping it up over the last few days,

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: and for good reason. Thursday Night football. We're geeked about it.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: We know Cardinals superfan Black Sheldon is also geeked about it.

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: There's some numbers to throw out at you, so bear

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: with me, but these are worth mentioning entering week eleven,

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: which of course kicks off tonight as the Cardinals visit

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson leads the league with

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight touchdown passes and ranked second with just under

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: twenty eight hundred passing yards. Now, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: became the first TB in the Super Bowl era and

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: the fourth quarterback in NFL history to rush for our

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: touchdown in five consecutive games. But the second year sensation

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: is going to have his hands full. That's because the

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Seahawks are nine and one on Thursday Night games since

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: head coach Pete Carroll's arrival in twenty and ten, and

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: two and oh in the previous Thursday games versus the Cardinals.

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: With that being said, make sure to watch the battle

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: for first place in the NFC West on NFL network

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Fox and streaming live on Amazon Prime Video tonight at

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: eight pm Eastern. It is going to be a good

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: one buck a lot of people. And that's actually one

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: of the five games between teams with winning records in

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Week eleven, but only one matchup really pits first placed

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: teams against each other. The seven and two Packers are

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: leading the NFC North, while the six and three Colts

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: lead in the AFC South. The Indianapolis defense is first

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, allowing just two hundred and ninety total

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: yards per game, but Green Bay head coach Matt Laflour

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: says they're a well balanced team. Now, this is a

32
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: fast football team in all three phases. I think it's

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: more it's probably the best special teams we've gone against.

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: And then offensively and defensively they fly around. So just

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: trying to combat that freshness, and you know, we're gonna

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: have to do a great job of knowing the plan,

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: being able to play as fast as we possibly can,

38
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: and have to have great execution. Well. Indy, like every

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: team in the AFC, is looking up in the standings

40
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: at nine and No. Pittsburgh, the league's last undefeated team,

41
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: and despite Jacksonvillees one and eight record, Ben Roethlisberger doesn't

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: view this as an easy game new Uh, not at all. Now.

43
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: He is five and three in his career versus the Jags,

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: but his sixty point one completion percentage and seventy eight

45
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: point two passer rating are his second words versus any

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: single opponents. Well, big Ben says, throw out those records.

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: He's only focused on one thing, and one thing only. Well, firstly,

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: it's we're not trying to you know, the goal is

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: to go undefeated, right, the goal is to win a

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and and so we're just going one week

51
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: at a time. We're not worried about anything other than

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: that this week. You know, you can look at past

53
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: history of this game and it hasn't been pretty for us.

54
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: You know, we have you get to play a really

55
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: good game against these guys, and so you know, I'm

56
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: hungry to come out and get this game, all right.

57
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: So over in the NFC, the Vikings have won three

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: straight games after their Week seven five and now stand

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: at four and hive it don't look now, but here

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: comes Minnesota, their opponents Sunday the Cowboys are coming up

61
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: there by week. Dallas officially activated quarterback Andy Dalton from

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen lists yesterday. He had been on

63
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: that list and going through concussion protocol, but it's now

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: clear to practice. Minnesota Qbaker Cousins feels despite his team's

65
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: recent success, they still have a ways to go. Yeah. Well,

66
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: it's great to win three in a row. We're four

67
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 1: and five, you know, we're not seven and two. We're

68
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: not leading our division, and so I don't feel a

69
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: sense of, you know that our season's turned around. I

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: feel like we've done some good things the last few weeks,

71
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: but I do feel like we have a lot of

72
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: work up ahead to get to where we really want

73
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: to go. Well, it's the times we live in, so

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: we have to give you more COVID nineteen updates. On Wednesday,
