04:32Те,
04:32Ти мис,
04:33Респондент.
04:34Пусть reminds us of we did a game
04:37in Cleveland a couple years ago
04:38the Jets against Clinton Flacco
04:41led him into the playoffs and as
04:43they left the field that night
04:44the crowd was chanting Flacco
04:46Flacco Flacco.
04:47That was a great night.
04:48They see that again.
04:54Five yard line.
04:55Gainwell to run this one back.
04:58Gainwell.
04:59The X Eagle up to the 31 yard
05:01line.
05:02They'll start from there.
05:02Little Rodgers and company 247
05:04to halftime.
05:06See how they attack here.
05:08Of course plenty of time to be
05:09patient with the running game.
05:11They mix in the jumbo look.
05:15This is an offense when it comes to
05:17receivers.
05:18They have DK Metcalf.
05:20They have DK Metcalf and four
05:21tight ends and Jalen Warren and
05:24Kenneth Gainwell out of the
05:24backfield.
05:25With Calvin Austin down who's the
05:28next receiver?
05:29If they try to take DK Metcalf
05:30away make somebody else beat you,
05:33who's that guy going to be?
05:35They're talking about getting
05:36Roman Wilson more involved.
05:38He's caught one tonight for four
05:40yards.
05:40They're going to flip here.
05:47Warren.
05:49Ball is out.
05:51And the Bengals unless they're going to
05:52rule it down.
05:53So it's no problem.
05:54They're going to rule it down.
05:55The runner was down by contact.
05:57Second.
05:58Just for a moment.
05:59Brad was ready to explode again.
06:01Barrett Carter is again the rookie
06:04that's wearing the green dot.
06:05He's a great leader.
06:08Comes in and you can see the elbow,
06:10the knee, everything down.
06:11And then the football comes out.
06:12Good job by the officials on top of
06:15it.
06:17Osai kind of set the edge and Carter
06:19cleaned it up.
06:24Game of three.
06:26Second and seven.
06:28Pass caught.
06:28Breaking a tackle.
06:31Warren picks up the first down.
06:33That's going to take us to the two
06:35minute warning.
06:35Officially at 1.58 to go.
06:38With the Bengals leading 14-10.
06:47Longevity.
06:48He was ten years.
06:49How many years was he here?
06:51Long time.
06:51Close.
06:53And then just waltzes out to L.A.
06:55and wins a Super Bowl.
06:56But of course, that's how you end
06:59your career, right?
06:59That's exactly how you end it.
07:01L.A. did it.
07:02Peyton Manning did it.
07:04Meanwhile, 1.58 to go.
07:08In the first half, it's a first and
07:1010 near midfield from the 48-yard line.
07:14Ball handed off.
07:15And again, a five here for Jalen
07:16Warren to the 47.
07:20Obviously, plenty of time.
07:21Three timeouts.
07:22Nobody better in command than Aaron
07:25Rodgers.
07:27But again, the question is, outside of
07:29DK Metcalf, who will step up if the
07:31Bengals take that away with a double
07:33team?
07:34Well, he just went past Ben Roethlisberger,
07:36career passing yardage.
07:38Fifth on the all-time list.
07:40Being of a couple here, setting up a
07:41third down.
07:42Third and four, Jonathan Smith sends
07:48in the play.
07:49This is Jenkins.
07:50Haven't said his name much tonight,
07:53but he made a heck of a play right
07:54there.
07:55Because if he didn't make that play,
07:57the linebacker's dropping out of his
07:58first down yardage.
07:59But 90 prevented that with great
08:02quickness.
08:08Down to a minute.
08:09Third and four.
08:17Rodgers throws.
08:18He's going to get the first down on
08:19a throw to the 41 in the arms of
08:23Warren, tackled by Carter.
08:24And now they will take the first
08:26of their three timeouts.
08:29Surprised the Bengals are getting
08:31such depth there with the linebackers.
08:34It's all those quick throws.
08:36Back in 30 seconds.
08:39When the Eagles won the Super Bowl,
08:44man, that was one of the greatest
08:45days of my life.
08:46But that day was ruined by
08:50accusations that my birds only
08:52won to sell wings.
08:54You know what they're saying out
08:55there?
08:55They're saying the quarterbacks are
08:57scrambling, apparently, to sell
08:58eggs.
08:59Eggs are delicious.
09:00Great protein.
09:01Oh, Baker Mayfield's a bread
09:02influencer.
09:03And a man does bake.
09:04You know, football is not a ploy
09:08to sell food.
09:09When football makes you hungry,
09:11order Uber Eats.
09:1549 seconds, two timeouts.
09:19Rodgers and the Steelers at the
09:21Cincinnati 41-yard line.
09:24The back is Gainwell.
09:32He makes the catch and then falls
09:34down.
09:36Right there.
09:39So now you've got another timeout
09:41taking here.
09:42Pittsburgh.
09:43So we were talking to Tomlin
09:45yesterday about winding up with
09:48Aaron Rodgers.
09:50So they start to talk, and only the
09:53way Mike can put it, he says,
09:54I wasn't into speed dating.
09:58They had a number of conversations.
10:00It took a while.
10:01Aaron had even thought about
10:02retiring, and there were a couple
10:03of other options that he had.
10:05But he seems to have found the
10:06right fit right now.
10:07Yeah, and he made it very clear.
10:08He had some things going on in his
10:10life, and he wasn't necessarily in a
10:12hurry either.
10:13And he said that chased some people
10:14away, and it was just almost meant
10:16to be for him to end up in
10:19Pittsburgh.
10:20And he could not have gone on enough
10:22about the organization, the city,
10:25Tomlin, the structure, everything,
10:27how much he loves being a part of it.
10:29Second and 13.
10:31The pass is called in, and they're
10:34going to say that he, that he's
10:36staying in bounds.
10:37They're going to say yes.
10:39Meanwhile, the Bengals wind up with
10:40the ball, but the official has
10:43stopped there, and that would be
10:45the line to game and beyond, even
10:47though Cincinnati's not showing
10:48we've got the ball by D.J. Turner.
10:50I think 20 ended up pulling it out
10:52of D.K. Metcalf's arms and has the
10:54interception.
10:55If he got his feet down, he definitely
10:56got the ball out.
10:57And now you've got the conference
10:59going on.
11:00The crowd, of course, is responding
11:01to what you see, the replay.
11:04He definitely has the football.
11:07I think it's more about the feet
11:08down.
11:10What an effort here by Turner to get
11:11this ball out.
11:13Just to get it out.
11:15The right foot's definitely down.
11:17Let's see it here.
11:20Terry, what are you seeing?
11:23Al, I see an interception.
11:25The defender takes the ball away.
11:26The knee gets down inbounds.
11:28This should be an interception.
11:30Is the ball move at all enough, Terry,
11:32for you to have any doubts about that?
11:34I don't believe it does.
11:35I think he's got complete control
11:37with that knee down and then
11:38maintains control through contact
11:40with the ground.
11:41Let's not lose sight of how...
11:42I mean, that is a huge...
11:44Not just the time of this play,
11:46but what a play by Turner.
11:47Was the knee down before the hand
11:49was out of bounds?
11:52After a crude discussion,
11:53the ruling on the field
11:54is an interception by Cincinnati.
11:56Cincinnati.
12:01So the Bengals celebrate.
12:03The crowd goes wild again.
12:06Rodgers has a stern word
12:08in Clay Martin.
12:10And not only were the Bengals
12:11sniming this drive
12:12to get the ball back
12:13to get the ball
12:14to start the second hand.
12:15And I'll tell you something.
12:16I think D.J. Turner right now
12:18is playing as well
12:19as any corner in the NFL.
12:21It's very fitting
12:22that he ends up making his play.
12:25The ball...
12:25What a throw by Aaron Rodgers
12:27to get it in.
12:29But D.J. Turner
12:30does not give up on this play.
12:33The third-year player
12:34out of Michigan.
12:35He's beat,
12:36but he doesn't give up on it
12:37and ends up ripping it out
12:38and gets the turnover.
12:40Tremendous play.
12:42The interception has been confirmed.
12:44It's first down Cincinnati.
12:49Please take the game pause
12:50to 40 seconds.
12:5240 seconds when the interception
12:54happens, please.
12:5540 seconds.
12:5540 seconds.
12:56Meanwhile, you have one timeout
12:58for Cincinnati.
13:01Are they going to be happy
13:02to go in with a four-point lead
13:03in the ball in the third...
13:04Or trying to throw something
13:06deep in the field?
13:07I think that was...
13:08The way Joe Flacco's playing
13:09with these receivers,
13:10he'll probably keep firing downfields.
13:12He's hot.
13:13Why not?
13:15To the outside.
13:16He's got a man.
13:16Is he inbounds?
13:18Yes.
13:19Chase again.
13:21I mean,
13:22who does this?
13:23Ten days he's been in this city.
13:26You know,
13:26how long it takes
13:27for quarterbacks and receivers
13:29to work on timing.
13:30Look at this.
13:31Ball's out.
13:32Ball's out.
13:32Jamar Chase then turns.
13:34And it's right
13:35in his lap.
13:38Joe Flacco
13:39is a unicorn.
13:41What is he doing out there?
13:45They're going to look at this again.
13:46Did he get both feet
13:47in?
13:50Reeling on the field
13:52was a completed pass.
13:53That play is now under review.
13:55Yeah.
13:55All right.
13:56The question is,
13:56does he get both feet in?
13:58Well,
13:59the right foot's in.
14:01The question is,
14:01does the left foot drag?
14:03The left toe
14:04had to drag.
14:05The right foot is down.
14:09All right.
14:09You're going to check this out.
14:14And we'll...
14:15The right foot's down.
14:18Does the left foot...
14:19That's a catch.
14:20Here's the B.
14:22Back after this.
14:23So, as we went to commercial,
14:32we talked about
14:33did he get both feet down?
14:34He did.
14:35That wasn't the problem.
14:36Here's your problem.
14:37Lost control of the ball.
14:39Yeah, you see the ball.
14:39Both hands came off the football.
14:42So, we're focused on the feet.
14:44Did he drag?
14:45And he did.
14:46But he lost possession.
14:47So, it's 37 seconds.
14:50You go back now to the 30-yard line.
14:53And it's a second and 10.
14:54Again, they have that one timeout remaining.
15:04Blacko.
15:05Again,
15:06the sideline.
15:08Chase has to try to get out of bounds,
15:10which he now does
15:11to save that timeout.
15:13Tackle there by Thorne.
15:14He'll gain a 12 first down.
15:16Good job to fight
15:17to get out of bounds.
15:18Remember,
15:18Evan McPherson,
15:19he hit one last week
15:20from 67,
15:21even though it got waved off.
15:23So, he has plenty of leg
15:24in this new world
15:25that we live in
15:26in the NFL
15:26with kickers.
15:27So, you're trying to get
15:28inside the Pittsburgh
15:3045-yard line
15:32and you can start really thinking
15:33you've got a shot here.
15:34Yeah, that would have been
15:35an NFL record.
15:36But Matt LaFleur
15:37had other ideas
15:37but the timeout for Green Bay.
15:42High snap.
15:43Handles it well.
15:44To the outside again.
15:46And you've got Chase
15:47making the catch here.
15:50Chase against Ramsey.
15:51What a matchup.
15:52Again, back-to-back plays
15:54with that one timeout
15:56working the boundary
15:57with Jamar Chase.
15:59Jalen Ramsey,
16:00you can see the leverage
16:01to the outside
16:01but the route goes in
16:03and then back out
16:04and look at the location
16:05of the football.
16:05Let him get his feet down
16:07and get out of bounds.
16:09One thing we've learned
16:09about Joe Flacco
16:10in 10 days and two games,
16:12when in doubt,
16:13where is number one?
16:14That's where he's throwing
16:15the football.
16:16Second and one.
16:18If they didn't get
16:19another yard here,
16:20you'd have a 67-yard attempt.
16:22Second and one.
16:23Let's not!
16:26Pressure coming.
16:28Over the middle.
16:29Passes a little low
16:30and behind.
16:31And now you've got a flag
16:32coming in.
16:33And Joey Porter
16:34says you've got to be kidding.
16:37T. Higgins
16:38intended receiver.
16:41It's been a rough first half
16:43for the Steelers' secondary
16:44with these penalties.
16:45Pass interference.
16:47Defense number 24.
16:49Spot foul.
16:50Automatic first down.
16:54Again, the matchup,
16:56we want to see Joey Porter
16:57with the length
16:57against T. Higgins
16:58in the length.
17:05We've seen worse,
17:06haven't we?
17:06Yeah.
17:07I mean, there's a grab there.
17:08And I guess that's,
17:09it came from
17:10the back judge.
17:11Maybe that's what he saw.
17:15Well,
17:16so be it.
17:17Ball of the 37-yard line.
17:1920 seconds.
17:22Flacco.
17:23Again,
17:24to the outside.
17:24Too high this time.
17:26Once more,
17:27trying to get to Chase.
17:28Covered by Ramsey.
17:29That took four seconds
17:30off the clock.
17:3116 ticks left.
17:32And most important thing,
17:33as always,
17:34holding on to that
17:34one timeout.
17:35Continue to work the boundary.
17:36I'm surprised that Jalen Ramsey,
17:39you know,
17:39he's given that boundary
17:40up to Jamar Chase.
17:41Jamar Chase keeps
17:42setting him up inside
17:43as if he's going to go
17:44by him to the inside.
17:46And all it takes
17:47is a little bit of movement
17:49from Jalen Ramsey
17:50to allow Chase back out.
17:53Now you've got Porter
17:54up at the top
17:55against Ramsey
17:56to safety help.
18:00Flacco over the middle.
18:01Pick up a little bit
18:02of extra yardage here.
18:04Noah Fant makes that catch.
18:07And they've got the timeout,
18:08which they will use
18:09and set up a field goal
18:11attempt for three seconds.
18:16Timeout.
18:17Cincinnati,
18:17no time to spike it.
18:18Cincinnati calls their
18:20third and final timeout
18:21of the half.
18:2230 seconds.
18:22So how has
18:23Jamar Chase done so far?
18:2611 targets,
18:27seven catches.
18:29They are always
18:30looking for unique ways
18:32of a good concentration
18:33to be able to finish that play.
18:34Any way they can give him
18:35the football.
18:36They've done a nice job
18:36of moving him.
18:38You know,
18:38you can't let this
18:39Pittsburgh defense
18:40know exactly where he is
18:41lined up
18:42since after he had a drop
18:43come right back
18:45with a touchdown.
18:46And a spot the ball at the
18:5139 so 49 yard field goal
18:55attempt William Wagner to
18:58snap it.
18:59Ryan.
19:00He's going to hold it.
19:04McPherson trying to send the
19:05Bengals to the locker room
19:07with a seven point lead.
19:08from 49 kick is up.
19:17Kick is perfect.
19:26Crazy stuff happening
19:26on Thursday nights
19:28like every week now.
19:29Every week.
19:30Whatever you think's
19:31going to happen.
19:32Bengals have lost four straights.
19:33He lives and won three in a row.
19:35But it's Cincinnati.
19:3817 unanswered points.
19:39We go to Kaylee.
19:40Zach,
19:41you were down 10-0
19:42and reeled off three
19:43straight scoring drives.
19:44What changed for Joe Flacco
19:46in this offense?
19:46You know,
19:46our guys have a lot of
19:47confidence right now.
19:48The run game's helping us a lot.
19:50Receivers have made some
19:51great plays.
19:52Protection's been outstanding
19:53up front.
19:54And our defense getting us
19:55those two turnovers
19:55that gives us a big lift.
19:57Yeah,
19:57two big takeaways for your defense
19:59but Aaron Rodgers was able
20:00to move the ball.
20:01What's your instruction
20:01to the defense at the half?
20:03Keep getting turnovers.
20:05That's a pretty good
20:07summation.
20:08Pretty much says it all.
20:1017-10.
20:11Cincy at the break.
20:12Coming up after the break.
20:13Safe on halftime show
20:14with Carissa.
20:16And the game.
20:21About 17 unanswered points.
20:2417-10.
20:26Our halftime score.
20:27Bengals in the last four games
20:29had a total of nine points
20:31in the first half.
20:33Composite league.
20:33Tonight, 17 and two touchdowns.
20:3811 touchdown passes this season.
20:40Most in the first six games
20:42as a stealer.
20:44So, you'll back all the way
20:45to Terry Bradshaw.
20:46Ben Roethlisberger.
20:47You name it.
20:4811-6.
20:49Prime stories right here.
20:51The quarterback comparisons.
20:52Joe Flacco, 129.
20:54Rodgers is going for a 1-8.
20:56To the two coaches, the two
21:00quarterbacks.
21:01You got one team coming in
21:03with a three-game winning
21:04streak.
21:05Pittsburgh at 4-1.
21:07And Cincinnati with a four-game
21:09losing streak.
21:11The Flacco has come to town.
21:13And it's, to this point, made
21:15quite the difference.
21:16Bengals get the ball.
21:17Run back to the 33-yard line
21:20by Pirine.
21:22Moments ago, Kaylee was with
21:24Mike Tomlin.
21:26Mike, you guys had control of
21:27this game early and then the
21:28Bengals came alive.
21:29What did you tell your team at
21:30the half?
21:31It's simple from my perspective.
21:32We got to take care of the
21:33football and we got to stop the
21:34run.
21:35We turned the ball over twice.
21:36They ran for 100 yards in the
21:37first half and that's not a
21:38recipe for winning football.
21:40We got to take care of the ball.
21:41We got to stop the run.
21:42We'll be okay.
21:42And what about Jamar Chase and
21:45Tee Higgins?
21:45What adjustments can you make
21:46there?
21:46It's less significant.
21:47It's the fact that they're on
21:48schedule.
21:49We got to stop the run, man, and
21:51put them behind the sticks and
21:52that'll be less significant.
21:55Yeah, who would have figured
21:56they'd have to stop the run
21:57because Cincinnati hasn't made
21:58a run role.
21:59Meanwhile, he almost escaped
22:01the chase but tripped up by
22:03Darius Slate.
22:04Got just enough to knock him
22:05down after a game of four.
22:07There are nine Steelers in the
22:09box.
22:10So he took the easy way.
22:12That's an alert.
22:13That's an easy answer.
22:14If they're overmatched at the
22:16line of scrimmage, he gets
22:17flipped it out there to Jamar
22:18Chase.
22:18There was one man out there.
22:20Slate don't make that tackle.
22:21That's a lot of yards to open up
22:23this first play of the second
22:24half.
22:24And Slate got hurt on the play.
22:25There he is.
22:28Up on one knee and now up.
22:31So Slate picked up in his 13th
22:33year.
22:35They went out and they got Slate
22:36and they got Jalen Ramsey and
22:38Mike Tomlin was saying, listen,
22:40we had to pick up some of these
22:41veteran guys.
22:42Because we were worried about
22:43Chase and Higgins facing them
22:45twice.
22:46Yeah.
22:46In fact, he's challenged him this
22:48week.
22:48Guys, this is why we brought you
22:50in for this game.
22:52These receivers.
22:56That first half, Mike Tomlin is
22:57all over it.
22:58I mean, two turnovers.
23:00Think about this.
23:00The Steelers are second in the
23:02NFL coming into tonight.
23:03Plus seven.
23:04And the Bengals are, they've
23:05struggled all year.
23:0729th at minus four in turnover
23:10margin and they were able to create
23:12the two in that first half.
23:13Just saw Brandon Echols, number 26,
23:15he comes in.
23:17Discipline Slate, at least for the
23:18moment.
23:19Second down and five now.
23:21Blacko, that deep drop.
23:23It's Chase.
23:25And Chase downs forward.
23:27About a yard and a half shy of the
23:28first down.
23:29Tackled by Patrick Queen.
23:31Third down.
23:33This is a game on a short week
23:34with the Steelers sitting at four
23:36and one.
23:37And the Bengals, the closest team
23:39right now in the division at two
23:40and four.
23:41This is a chance for a knockout
23:42punch for the Steelers to really
23:43extend their lead.
23:45And they knew they would take on a
23:46desperate team.
23:47The best thing you can do when you
23:48play a desperate team is not come
23:49out early.
23:50And they had that chance.
23:51Up 10-0.
23:52And the Bengals, to their credit,
23:54didn't back away.
23:55They just kept fighting back.
23:58And I think they realized what's at
23:59stake.
24:00Third and two.
24:02The ground game again to the 45.
24:06Goes Samadji Pirine.
24:08So this team now over 100 yards,
24:10almost double what their average
24:12was for a game to this point in
24:14the season.
24:16We can't say enough again about
24:17the offensive line.
24:18The much maligned offensive line.
24:21Dalton Reisner, who's in there
24:22at left guard for Dylan Fairchild,
24:24the rookie.
24:26He has had a game.
24:27It's a tough defensive line and
24:30structure to be able to win the
24:31line of scrimmage.
24:32But even in third and two, you
24:33could see the push they got there
24:35to open it up for Pirine.
24:38Chase Brown back in.
24:40He's already run for 74.
24:42Here he goes again.
24:45Nice game there.
24:46Eight yards into Pittsburgh
24:48territory to the 47-yard line.
24:51Drew Sample sets the edge and then
24:53allows left guard Reisner in the
24:55center.
24:55Watch Ted Karras make the snap and
24:57he and the left guard.
24:58They're going to pull around.
25:00Good job by 89 right there on the
25:02outside linebacker, Alex Highsmith.
25:04So once you get the edge set with
25:0689, that allows the big lineman to
25:08come around downhill and you get
25:10behind that if you're Chase Brown.
25:11Positive yards again on first and
25:1410.
25:18Second and three.
25:19Flacco throws, Chase again.
25:28Inside the 35, Darius Slade came back
25:31into the game.
25:31He makes that tackle.
25:33This crowd is almost in disbelief right
25:36now.
25:36And how about Joe Flacco?
25:38He's up under center.
25:39He makes the check.
25:40The reason he makes the check, look at
25:41all the jerseys up tight near the line
25:42of scrimmage.
25:43Why not go back to number one on the
25:45quick slant?
25:46If you're going to overload the line of
25:47scrimmage and you're going to lead the
25:49best receiver in the NFL one-on-one
25:51no matter who the corner is, Joe
25:53Flacco is going to throw the football
25:55out there.
25:56Good recognition.
25:57Ten days of knowing this offense and a
25:59good check there at the line of
26:00scrimmage.
26:04To the outside.
26:06Chase again.
26:07Inside the 20.
26:09Well, you know, we've been watching
26:10Flacco for a lot of years.
26:12Does anybody throw a prettier spiral?
26:15I don't think so.
26:17I just, it's the combination of being
26:20shocked that the offensive lines gave it
26:22in plenty of time.
26:23And there's the throw you're talking
26:24about.
26:25How tight the spiral is.
26:26I think he has so much more confidence
26:28throwing.
26:28He told us this week, he said, I just
26:30can't believe how good Jamar Chase and
26:33T. Higgins are.
26:34I always knew they were.
26:36But to be the guy that's throwing in the
26:37football, it gives you such confidence
26:39to get back and put the ball where you
26:41know they're going to make a play on it.
26:43You saw those numbers.
26:4511 catches for 99 yards.
26:49For number one.
26:51To the ground again.
26:54Chase Brown, his seventh carry.
26:57Seven for 84.
26:58Second and seven.
26:59Well, that time Patrick Queen actually
27:01shot the gap and got in there.
27:03One of the first times he's been able
27:04to get in there.
27:04But that time, Chase Brown was able to
27:08have a jump cut around him.
27:10So instead of a loss for maybe two
27:12yards, he's able to get some positive
27:14yards.
27:16Still, he's been really dialing up the
27:17blitz all night.
27:19But especially when the Bengals have
27:21gotten down inside that 20-yard line.
27:27Eighth play of the drive.
27:28Deep drop.
27:32Avoids the sack.
27:34Going for it all and just throws that
27:36one out of the end zone.
27:38The third down is seven.
27:39Meanwhile, you've got Joey Porter who's
27:41in the medical tent.
27:43So he's out.
27:46Slate was down on one knee, but he is
27:49back in.
27:50These third downs, we've seen
27:52obviously Jamar Chase targeted.
27:55The Bengals are four of six so far
27:57tonight on third down.
27:58It goes back to what Mike Tomlin
28:00told Kaylee about.
28:01We've got to get him behind the
28:02sticks.
28:02Well, here's an opportunity.
28:04You've got him at third and seven.
28:05How are you going to hold up against
28:06these receivers?
28:10Doing a good job on Watt tonight.
28:13And that is caught.
28:16And that is once a bunch with
28:18Eccles making the tackle.
28:21Just a little short.
28:22You see where the official is lined
28:23up.
28:25A yard.
28:27Maybe a millimeter or two less than
28:29that.
28:30Proud, of course, wants him to go for
28:32it.
28:32And he will.
28:32Fourth down and one.
28:33Zach Taylor knows he's two and four.
28:35The Steelers are four and one.
28:36You have an opportunity right now.
28:38They're up seven points.
28:40Put your foot on the gas here.
28:42And you've controlled the line of
28:44scrimmage for the most part, even in
28:45short yardage situations.
28:48Running back is Piran.
28:50He gets pushed.
28:58And now you've got to time out.
29:03Time out.
29:09I see a red flag.
29:11Maybe a challenge flag by Zach Taylor on
29:13the spot in the previous play.
29:14Yeah, the spot through this play.
29:17There it was.
29:18Threw it out at the very last second.
29:21Prior to the snap, Cincinnati threw
29:24their challenge flag to challenge
29:25the ruling on the field of the
29:26previous play that the runner was
29:28short of the line to game.
29:30That play is under review.
29:33That's as late as we've ever seen
29:34a flag come out.
29:35And he gets word from up top.
29:39Throw the flag.
29:42Does he have it?
29:43We'll find out.
29:52This is an unsuccessful challenge.
29:54Cincinnati will be charged.
29:56A timeout.
29:57All right, so here's where we are.
29:58It's going to be fourth down and
29:59inches.
30:01They lost the challenge, but they
30:02actually moved the ball a little
30:03closer from one yard out to
30:05to, you know, half a yard, 40,
30:08whatever it is, two-fifths of a
30:09yard.
30:09You've got to get right to the
30:10eight-yard line.
30:11Exactly.
30:11You're inside a half a yard.
30:14There it is.
30:15What do you do here?
30:16Do you sneak it?
30:19You throw it.
30:21He runs the back.
30:23They're pinching.
30:27They push, and they have it.
30:31So Flacco, with a little help
30:33from behind, picks up.
30:35Picks up the first.
30:36And Drew Sample gets behind.
30:39Good surge in front.
30:41And then Sample making sure, with
30:43the push from behind, plenty of
30:46room there to be able to pick up
30:47that first down.
30:49Needed about a half a yard and got
30:51about a yard and a half.
30:55So Flacco's still only been here
30:57about a week or so.
30:58They've already figured out their
30:59own tush push.
31:00first and goal.
31:02Got both receivers lined up to the
31:03left, stacked.
31:07On the ground.
31:10Inside the five.
31:11He runs.
31:12Second down and goal.
31:15Opening drive of the second half.
31:17They've already run 11 plays.
31:20Five runs, six passes.
31:22Go back to Mike Tomlin when he was at the
31:25podium saying that he was shocked
31:27that the Browns would let go of a guy
31:30that they would name the starter on opening day
31:33and let him go to a team within the division
31:36that was clearly struggling at that position.
31:38And now he's facing him tonight, down seven,
31:42potentially down 14 in the third.
31:45Yeah, Shafton flipped off too.
31:48Second and goal.
31:51The end zone knocked away.
31:53Higgins, the intended receiver, and Ramsey in
31:55on that play.
31:56Third and goal.
31:57That was a great play by Jalen Ramsey.
32:01We've talked a lot about Joey Porter being on
32:03Tee Higgins.
32:05Watch this route.
32:06Tee Higgins runs a clean route.
32:07It's just really good anticipation.
32:09I love the length there, but what I really love
32:12is Jalen Ramsey's eyes the entire way
32:14were on Joe Flacco, which allowed him to time up
32:18and play that football and know exactly
32:20when it was in the air, when he needed to go
32:22airborne and knock it away.
32:23Ramsey coming from Miami in the trade
32:25that sent Fitzpatrick to the Dolphins.
32:29Third down and goal.
32:32Flacco rolling, looking, throwing into the dirt
32:36and complete, so now you've got fourth down and goal.
32:41Here's an interesting thing.
32:42They know that Joe Flacco wants to get the ball
32:45to Jamar Chase, so you've got Jalen Ramsey on him,
32:48but he has outside leverage.
32:49And the reason he has outside leverage
32:51is he has safety help to the inside there
32:53with 21, Chuck Clark.
32:56So that's exactly where, when Flacco came rolling
32:59to his right, he was looking to Jamar Chase,
33:02but he was taken away, he had nowhere else
33:03to go with the football.
33:05So McPherson now, chip shot, field goal,
33:08attempt 23 yards.
33:11To try to make it a 10-point game.
33:17And for the Bengals, that is 20 unanswered points
33:22and a 20-10 lead in Cincinnati.
33:25We're back in 30 seconds.
33:31Ring, make it.
33:32Ring, girl, make it.

33:58Never mind.
33:59Wow.
34:04Joe Flacco.
34:05Boy, he's been around.
34:07Everybody thought he was retired.
34:09Two years ago, he said,
34:11well, you know, it kind of got awkward.
34:13Everybody's saying,
34:14hey, congratulations, Fabio.
34:15It's true.
34:15You're going.
34:16I thought, well, no, maybe I got another shot somewhere.
34:19And he did Cleveland at first.
34:21Yeah.
34:22Yeah.
34:22And then Indy then back to Cleveland.
34:24And we asked him about his look on the sidelines.
34:26Sometimes he's almost like he just looks so chill.
34:30You know, and he did say it's kind of intentional.
34:33Right.
34:33You know, he likes to look at this as a team game
34:36and what's my responsibility
34:37and likes to just kind of gather his thoughts
34:39once they make the adjustments.
34:41So he's over there kind of chilling out.
34:43Yeah.
34:44Almost looks like a meditative look.
34:46Yeah, he does.
34:47The five-yard line.
34:49Gainwell.
34:50Up past the 30 to the 40-yard line.
34:53Good run back.
34:54Let's start from there.
34:55Time now for Driven for More, presented by Hyundai.
35:00And it's Joe Flacco.
35:02You keep talking about it,
35:04but you just have to be so impressed with his command of this offense.
35:07He's played two games in a new city with a lot of new teammates.
35:11Hasn't really thrown the ball much to T. Higgins.
35:13Obviously, even in practice, hadn't had much time.
35:17And yet, the operation has been clean for the most part.
35:20The timing between he and these new receivers has been clean.
35:24It's been a remarkable effort
35:25by what Joe Flacco and his team's been able to do working together.
35:28First time in the half, the Steelers have had the ball.
35:32Start from the 39-yard line.
35:36Flipping back to Warren.
35:39Picks up four.
35:41Well, the Spencer Anderson blocked second down, six.
35:45This offense, you know, in the days of Aaron Rodgers
35:48and his glory days of Green Bay,
35:49they're built for situations like this.
35:52You get down 10, you got four receivers,
35:54spread everybody out, you attack.
35:56Remember, this is an offense right now that has D.K. Metcalf.
35:59And they've got a bunch of tight ends.
36:00And they've got a couple backs.
36:02It's a tough offense.
36:03The design of the Art Smith offense right now,
36:05without a lot of receivers,
36:07makes it very difficult to fight your way back,
36:09even with an Aaron Rodgers.
36:12Warren has nine carries for 50 yards.
36:15Second down and five.
36:17Has it again.
36:18Cuts to the inside.
36:19Picks up the first down at midfield.
36:21The 50-yard line.
36:23First and 10.
36:23They need to respond.
36:25If you're just tuning into this game,
36:26it started off just the way you would think.
36:28Pittsburgh is a big favorite.
36:30They had a touchdown and a field goal
36:32in their first few possessions.
36:34Since then, back-to-back interceptions.
36:37And now their first possession here in the second half.
36:40And both of those picks
36:41led to touchdowns by the Bengals.
36:44Six-and-a-half left in the third quarter.
36:49Hey, single 55!
36:50Single 55!
36:51And a jumbo look.
36:52Check, check, check, check!
36:53Yeah, single back, single back!
36:56In 19!
36:57Connected!
37:00Again.
37:02Warren busts one!
37:04And Warren stays inbounds for a gain of more than 20.
37:07Knackled there by Geno Stone.
37:11So even when you know it's coming with 1,000 pounds there on that right edge,
37:16the defense, watch how they flow.
37:18They're trying to get over there because they know what's coming.
37:22And you still can't stop it.
37:23But, you know, it's one thing to realize
37:26that all that weight is lined up against you.
37:29But if you just run with your ears back
37:31and you're just tearing off,
37:33a good back's going to cut back against that.
37:35Which is exactly what Jalen Warren did there.
37:3724-yard gain.
37:39That's their longest run of the season.
37:412-19!
37:45Pull it again.
37:47Four straight.
37:49The end of a couple this time.
37:50Second down.
37:51Tackled by Barrett Carter, the rookie out of Clemson.
37:55He was a much better job that time on pursuit.
37:57Previous play, they were just flying to the outside
38:00to try to stop that powerful look.
38:02This time, Barrett Carter attacking from the inside out
38:05and allowed him on that cut back to be able to make that play.
38:10Second and eight.
38:15It's a tough matchup at the top with Darnell Washington.
38:18300-pound tight end.
38:21Go!
38:26Rodgers looks that way.
38:28Goes that way.
38:29It's incomplete.
38:30Hill covering on the play.
38:32The question is, who do you put on a 300-pound, 6-foot-7 tight end?
38:38You tell me.
38:39They put Dax Hill on him.
38:41And Dax Hill's a talented player.
38:446 feet, 195 pounds.
38:46But you're out there on an island.
38:47That's a mismatch.
38:48And that's exactly why Aaron Rodgers likes to split him out
38:51and throw the fade up to him.
38:54Third and eight.
38:55Seven, eight guys up tight.
39:08Go!
39:09Gets it away quickly.
39:13And diving for a first down.
39:16And more is Roman Wilson making his second catch of the night.
39:21Well, I saw this guy play a lot in college at the University of Michigan.
39:26He's had some injuries last year with the ankle.
39:28He's really like a rookie this year.
39:30Meanwhile, flag is thrown on this play.
39:35And incomplete.
39:36They went to the line in a hurry.
39:39On a first and goal, Clay Martin will make the call.
39:46It's Cincinnati trying to get a man off,
39:48but I don't know if Pittsburgh had the right...
39:49I don't know if they were set in their formation.
40:00So the play started at the 10th.
40:03First and goal.
40:05Now...
40:07There are fouls by both teams on the play.
40:09Illegal shift.
40:10Offense, number four never set.
40:13Offside, defense, number 58.
40:16He was also the 12th player exiting the field and did not get off.
40:20So we have defensive too many players for him as well.
40:23Those penalties offset.
40:25First down.
40:26Back where we started.
40:27First and goal from the 10.
40:28And Osai was trying to get off.
40:32Offsetting.
40:33Pittsburgh trying to go with a quick snap.
40:37See, besides Osai trying to get off,
40:39look at the confusion in the background there with Cincinnati's defense.
40:45It's a big opportunity for Rodgers and the Steelers here.
40:50Down by 10.
40:51Four and a half to go in the third.
40:52Go!
40:54Go!
40:57Go!
40:58The big pass to the outside.
41:03And they get it to Washington.
41:04But they bring the big man down.
41:07Demetrius Knight, rookie out of South Carolina.
41:11Stopping him.
41:12That's how you tackle a 300-pound tight end.
41:17Demetrius Knight said, first of all, he did a good job of being disciplined because Aaron Rodgers had great mechanics.
41:23Did a good job of fooling some of this defense, but not 44.
41:26Good job of holding on for dear life on the big guy.
41:29Go!
41:29Second and 18, Rodgers throws.
41:35He's dropped.
41:37John O. Smith that time.
41:39D.J. Turner doing it again on the defensive side.
41:43Third and 18.
41:44What a job of coming off of D.K. Metcalf.
41:48You know, he's out here, but look at his eyes.
41:51He sees where the football is thrown and immediately comes over to help out.
41:55That is a great play by D.J. Turner.
41:58Ball at the 19, they can actually get a first down inside the one.
42:04Meanwhile, now you've got Turner cramping up.
42:11So an injury stoppage here.
42:16So this will take him out of the secondary, at least for one play.
42:20So a moment to reflect.
42:31We talked to Aaron Rodgers yesterday, and the question was,
42:35do you know what you're going to do after football?
42:37And he said, I'm going to disappear.
42:40He said, I've spent my whole life in the limelight.
42:43I said, I'm looking for the shadows.
42:45Well, he's already had a darkness retreat,
42:47so the shadows at least will provide more light than the darkness retreat did.
42:50Boy, that quote was amazing.
42:52I've lived in the spotlight long enough.
42:55Time to go to the shadows.
42:57We'll see.
42:59He said, you won't hear from me or see me for at least four years.
43:05I wouldn't bet on that.
43:07But who knows?
43:09Anyway, first things first.
43:13Turner out.
43:15D.J. Ivey in.
43:18Third and 18.
43:21Well, that played by Demetrius Knight against a big tight end.
43:25They don't score here.
43:26They don't get a touchdown.
43:27That would have been a touchdown without that play.
43:31Go! Go!
43:34Rodgers, that's time.
43:36Throws!
43:36Court!
43:38Touchdown!
43:39Pat Friar move.
43:40To the Steeler fans, suiting him.
43:49Muth.
43:50So Friar move, who kind of has been not as effective or played as much as he has in the past.
43:58Big catch here.
43:58Yeah, you split these safeties.
44:00Look when he releases his football.
44:02Right there.
44:03He's going to put it out in front in that big hole.
44:06And that's exactly how you do it.
44:08We're bragging about Joe Flacco getting the ball out early.
44:11And there with that split look, split safety look.
44:14That's what Friar Muth is known for.
44:15Being able to beat the zone down the seam.
44:17And what a throw by Rodgers.
44:19Only his ninth reception of the season.
44:24His first catch of the game.
44:27His first touchdown this season.
44:29And it's a three-point game in Cincinnati.
44:37Tonight, Thursday Night Football, we go to L.A.
44:40where the Minnesota Vikings take on the Los Angeles Chargers.
44:45Both having good years.
44:46Minnesota takes on Philadelphia in a big one.
44:49On Sunday, the Chargers, meanwhile, hosting the Indianapolis on Sunday.
44:55So, Vikings-Chargers next Thursday night.
45:07Boswell puts it in the air.
45:09Comes down at the seven-yard line.
45:12They can come there as P. Ryan.
45:15He's going to throw back to 33.
45:17Quick to Kaylee.
45:19Guys, in the AFC North, the best-laid plans at quarterback have mostly gone awry.
45:24So, here's the group that started the year.
45:26Lamar in Baltimore, Flacco in Cleveland, Burrow here in Cincinnati, and Rodgers with Pittsburgh.
45:30Five weeks later, the Ravens are navigating Jackson's injury.
45:33The Browns turned to rookie Dylan Gabriel and traded Flacco across the state.
45:37And the last man standing, 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers.
45:41Guys, I just saw him crack a smile after that last touchdown for the first time since the first quarter.
45:45Yeah, he's been doing a lot of frowning and gesticulating until then.
45:50But there he is.
45:51He's been here before.
45:53Yeah.
45:53The only thing that stands out to me, there is 4-14 for the other three teams outside of the Steelers collectively.
45:59Yeah, who figured that division figured to be as tough as any in the league coming into the season.
46:05Meanwhile, the pass to the outside here in the short game.
46:09But tonight, if Pittsburgh wins, they have a three-and-a-half-game lead at this point in the middle of October.
46:15If they lose, it's a game-and-a-half.
46:16Yeah, very good.
46:17I mean, this is—that's why I think Cincinnati came into this, even in a short week, realizing what was at stake.
46:22And it just feels like this is an important—
