00:00His first as a bingle, and Evan McPherson on for the extra point try.
00:11Slip and hold are good as is the kick.
00:13And a 14-7 lead for Cincinnati.
00:17Joe Burrow, first touchdown pass of the season, a short one.
00:22But it still counts to give Cincinnati a lead in the Battle of Ohio.
00:30By Cody Ford right there, and then you're going to take Noah Fant,
00:33and you're going to slip him out.
00:34Mahmoud Diabate right here, he's seeing that run.
00:37He's seeing that big fullback coming across.
00:39He's going to have to stuff this thing up.
00:41And, whoops, was I supposed to have 86?
00:47I don't know if it was, you know, right there.
00:49You can see the other linebacker coming across.
00:53Barrett Carter, or Schlesinger, I'm sorry.
00:56I don't know.
00:57I think that he would be more with Chase.
01:01I really think it was the outside linebacker that they were trying to sell out,
01:04seeing that hard run play action coming right at him.
01:07But you talked about it earlier in regards to Noah Fant.
01:09That's why you went out and got a Noah Fant,
01:11because he's one of those guys that you don't necessarily go,
01:14oh, it's a pass, or oh, it's a run.
01:17He can be the hybrid tight end that gives you those options
01:20in a seven offensive lineman set on the goal line.
01:23Really makes you think.
01:24We talked about Mike Gesicki, and that's a tendency for pass.
01:27You look at Cam Brandy, who's inactive today.
01:30You look at Drew Sample, who's one of those blue guys,
01:32the longest tenured Bengal.
01:33A lot of those guys are the blocking guys.
01:36But Noah Fant creates a lot of thinking for a defense,
01:39because to your point, Kevin, he can do both.
01:41He can be effective in the passing game,
01:43and he's a good running, a run blocker as well.
01:50DeAndre Carter for the Browns from the two.
01:53Carter, and a get to the left side.
01:56He won't get there.
01:58Really good coverage downfield as we go back out to Los Angeles.
02:01Carissa's field has to play with on offense this year.
02:04Goodness.
02:04Amazing.
02:0522-yard line for Joe Flacco and the Browns.
02:11Down 14-7.
02:12Good job.
02:14Remember, Cleveland won the toss and deferred to the second half.
02:17So a chance with a little bit of productivity here to double up
02:21as Flacco starts in the air.
02:23The pass incomplete.
02:24He wanted Cedric Tillman.
02:26Logan Wilson out there in coverage.
02:29And it brings up second and ten.
02:31That's a great point, Kevin.
02:32It's one of those new things that everybody's talking about.
02:35They call it the middle eight.
02:36You know, that last four minutes of the first half
02:38and the first four minutes of the second half
02:40and being able to use that effectively
02:42when you do get that possession to start the second half.
02:46So if Cleveland can control this football down the field
02:49and whether they get a touchdown,
02:50maybe just being able to kick a field goal
02:52and be able to come back out in the second half
02:54and get that football back again,
02:56it's a huge swing and momentum.
02:58Jack Conklin out at right tackle.
03:00Cornelius Lucas in at right tackle for Cleveland.
03:02On second down and the tight end of Joku
03:05barreling forward.
03:06Look at him dragging Bengals all the way to the 39.
03:1117-yard pickup for the talented tight end
03:14who in 2023 loved seeing Joe Flacco 56 times.
03:18He was targeted at the six games Flacco played.
03:21Yeah, and then after the catch,
03:23it's just tough to get this guy down.
03:25Just a short pass right there.
03:26There's two guys squeezing him.
03:28I mean, there's five Bengal defenders around David Njoku,
03:32and he's just gaining yards downfield.
03:35And a first down to the 39.
03:38Boyd in motion.
03:40Hand off Sampson,
03:41and Dylan Sampson hit in the backfield by Geno Stone.
03:44They diagnosed that,
03:46and he's dropped for a loss of one.
03:48Allison, what's the update on the right side of the offensive line?
03:51Yeah, you mentioned their veteran Jack Conklin is out right now.
03:54He has an eye injury.
03:56They're saying he is questionable to return.
03:58That'd be a big loss.
03:59One of the veterans on that line.
04:02Twice all pro,
04:03sixth year with Cleveland.
04:05Cornelius Luke is also a vet his 11th season,
04:08but his first in Cleveland.
04:10Good night!
04:13180!
04:15180!
04:17180!
04:18180!
04:18It's not!
04:19Flacco off the play field.
04:23Throws to an open receiver,
04:24and a diving catch made near the Cincinnati 43.
04:28Jerry Judy with his first catch of the afternoon.
04:34Just working at the top.
04:37Just a nice release off the line of scrimmage right there.
04:39That's a nice, easy throw catch.
04:42I mean, for Joe Flacco,
04:44you play that soft zone and give Jerry Judy that much area
04:47to kind of settle down and get comfortable.
04:49That's going to be an easy throw catch.
04:54Pickup of 19.
04:55First down at the 43 of the Bengals.
05:00Flacco again will go to the air.
05:02Checks it short of the pass incomplete.
05:04He wanted the tight end to Joku.
05:06Demetrius Knight, the rookie from South Carolina,
05:09met him immediately
05:10and denied the completion.
05:13Another young player that Al Golden
05:15was really excited about in this Bengals defense.
05:18Yeah, they've got a lot of guys on this defensive side of the ball.
05:21We're starting to see the athleticism show up.
05:24He's one of those guys,
05:26he's just got to relax and play, right?
05:28Even Coach Golden told us that.
05:30He really beats himself up when he has a mistake.
05:34You're going to make mistakes out here,
05:35especially as a young guy,
05:37a young player in the NFL.
05:38Just relax and keep going from snap to snap.
05:40On second down,
05:42Flacco out of the backfield,
05:43finds Sampson.
05:44Sampson on the sideline.
05:46Ends up about a yard short
05:47of the first down.
05:51Demetrius Knight on the tackle.
05:54And it'll take us to the two-minute warning.
05:56This has been fun and entertaining
05:58first half in this Battle of Ohio.
06:02Bengals with a lead.
06:03Browns on the move.
06:07Verizon halftime coming up with
06:08Kurt, Terry, Howie, Michael, and Gronk.
06:10First half highlights and analysis.
06:11Some highlights of Giants and Commanders.
06:15Daniel's trying to build
06:16on that tremendous rookie season in year two.
06:20Third down and one for Cleveland.
06:23Fan in motion.
06:24It's Flacco with the quarterback sneak.
06:27And Joe Flacco, all 6'6", 245 pounds
06:30and 40-plus years of life.
06:32Gets the first half.
06:34I think if I was a defensive coordinator,
06:36you might have caught me with that one.
06:37That's not what I was expecting on that play.
06:40I would have, hey, that's a great call.
06:42You got me.
06:43I've been impressed with Joe Flacco today.
06:45He's been very patient with his decisions.
06:47He understands, you know, what happened
06:49over the last two seasons with the amount of turnovers
06:51and the mistakes and self-inflicted wounds.
06:54He's been a very patient quarterback today,
06:56taking what the defense is allowing him to.
06:59It's a little in motion on first out.
07:01And the draw play, Sampson to the 30-yard line
07:05and down to the 29.
07:07Cleveland with all three timeouts.
07:09If they choose to use them, they will not hear.
07:13And again, they get the football to start the second half,
07:16so if you're Kevin Stefanski, you're looking for,
07:19at this point, you're in a good position
07:20for at least three before halftime.
07:22Absolutely.
07:23Don't do anything.
07:24Don't take that negative play right now,
07:26and that's one of the things we've seen from Joe Flacco
07:29through this first half is good, quick decisions
07:31and not forcing the football.
07:34That's where they want Joe Burrow,
07:36on the sidelines with his helmet off.
07:37Yeah, right.
07:38Exactly.
07:40Second and seven.
07:42Flacco to the sideline.
07:44Tillman tried to turn it upfield.
07:46He actually gave up ground,
07:47and Nax Hill made a nice tackle inbounds,
07:50and Cleveland will use their first timeout.
07:58Next Sunday, we have a Fox NFL doubleheader.
08:02The Giants take on the Cowboys in an NFC East showdown.
08:04The 49ers face the Saints around the regional action.
08:07Then it's America's Game of the Week.
08:09Up this one, Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts,
08:11the defending champion Eagles take on Patrick Mahomes,
08:14Travis Kelsey, and the Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch.
08:17Coverage begins with a special two-hour edition
08:19of Fox NFL Sunday, live from Kansas City.
08:23Lighting up the Power and Light District
08:25at 11 a.m. Eastern on Fox.
08:28The checklist for the Eagles,
08:30last NFC team to win consecutive Super Bowls,
08:3292-93 Cowboys, I think you've heard of them.
08:34Last team to win consecutive NFC East titles,
08:372001-2004 Eagles.
08:39It's been a long time since somebody won the division
08:41back-to-back.
08:42Eagles and Chiefs next Sunday.
08:44I'm going to talk about slow starts here in our game.
08:46Could the Kansas City Chiefs get out to an 0-2 start?
08:49Oh, my.
08:51Third down and five.
08:54180!
08:54I got it!
08:56On, in motion.
08:57Flacco steps away from pressure,
08:59throwing on the run, and he throws this one away.
09:03Nobody open.
09:05Joe Flacco says,
09:06we're in good position for three.
09:07Let's make sure we don't lose any yardage.
09:11And here comes Andre Schmidt.
09:13Now, it was a battle in camp
09:15between the veteran Dustin Hopkins
09:17and the first-year player Andre Schmidt,
09:20who was the former kicker of the St. Louis Battle Hawks
09:24in the UFL.
09:25You saw many of his games on Fox.
09:28This is his first career NFL field goal attempt.
09:32He went toe-to-toe with Jake Bates
09:33for our UFL Kicker of the Year two years ago.
09:36Lining it up from 45.
09:40Good snap and hold.
09:41The kick up and good for Andre Schmidt.
09:45We saw him on Friday at practice.
09:47Hit one from 60.
09:49Plenty of leg for Andre Schmidt,
09:52and he brings the Browns within four.
09:55And now this from Progressive.
09:56That's right.
09:59Andre Schmidt's got to feel pretty good right now.
10:01Got the butterflies out.
10:03Got the kick to go through.
10:05He never kicked a field goal
10:06or an extra point in the NFL.
10:08He's now had the chance to do both.
10:10He's two for two.
10:11Yeah, and, you know,
10:12we talked to Kevin Stavansky about,
10:14you know, the decision with Dustin Hopkins,
10:16and he raved about Dustin Hopkins,
10:17you know, one of the greatest people
10:18that he's ever met.
10:20And really the relationship
10:21between Andre Schmidt and Dustin Hopkins,
10:23when they were competing for that job,
10:25you know, he spoke very highly of them.
10:27So happy for Andre Schmidt
10:30that we've won that job.
10:32Charlie Jones trying to get to the edge
10:34and down at the 26 with 18 seconds
10:37until halftime.
10:38Speaking of halftime,
10:39Kurt Menefee and the boys
10:40in Los Angeles with a preview.
10:43Thanks, guys, and happy week one.
10:45Yeah, the gang is back.
10:46Coming up on the Verizon Halftime,
10:48Terry, Howie, Michael, and Gronk
10:50will break down the biggest plays,
10:52plus highlights and a first look
10:54at Aaron Rodgers
10:54with the Steelers against the Jets.
10:56We'll see you at the half.
11:00Looking forward to that.
11:0118 seconds and two timeouts
11:03for Joe Burrow and company
11:04to work with.
11:06Their worst starting field position
11:08of the day for the 26.
11:12Short toss.
11:13Out to the 34.
11:15There's no offense.
11:16Timeout used by Cincinnati.
11:18One remaining.
11:2112 seconds remaining.
11:24We watched that game on Friday night
11:27and kind of the end of half
11:28with Kansas City and the Chargers
11:30and the ability for them
11:31to get that 59-yard field goal
11:33off with that time.
11:34So I actually sat down
11:35when we talked with Zach Taylor
11:36and kind of went through the timing
11:37with him.
11:38Now, obviously, not as much time.
11:40The way he broke it down,
11:42they might,
11:43they should be able
11:44to get two plays,
11:45but can you get two plays
11:46to get you enough yardage
11:48to allow Evan McPherson
11:50to attempt that field goal?
11:51The benefit one timeout
11:53to play with at least.
11:56But still a ways to go.
11:58Second down and two.
12:00Burrow with time.
12:02Steps away from late pressure.
12:04Burrow on the run.
12:05Clock running down.
12:06Burrow tripped up
12:07and brought down
12:08by Isaiah McGuire
12:10and that'll take us to halftime.
12:16Great coverage downfield.
12:18Nowhere for Burrow to go
12:19and McGuire ends up
12:21with the tackle.
12:22Our first half stats
12:22are brought to you
12:24by Wingstop.
12:2688 yards passing
12:28for the Bengals,
12:2887 for the Browns.
12:30Both teams have had
12:30some success on the ground.
12:32Bengals have been really good
12:33on third down
12:34and as a result,
12:36Cincinnati
12:37taking the lead
12:38into the locker room.
12:40We send it now
12:41to Los Angeles
12:42as we get set
12:43for the Verizon halftime show.
12:53Brown again.
12:54Bouncing.
12:55Finding space.
12:57Touchdown, Cincinnati.
12:59Sanders to the goal line.
13:01Touchdown, Cleveland.
13:03Burrow throws.
13:04Wide open.
13:05Touchdown, Noah Fant.
13:06That was today's game flow
13:09presented by Progressive
13:12as we welcome you
13:12back to Cleveland
13:13where the Bengals
13:14have a 14-10 lead
13:17here as we welcome you
13:18back to NFL kickoff weekend
13:20presented by YouTube TV.
13:25Cleveland had won the toss.
13:27They elected to defer
13:28as they elected to defer.
13:29So it'll be
13:29the opportunity
13:31for the Browns
13:32to start on offense
13:33and for Joe Burrow
13:34the waiting game
13:36continues for a chance
13:38to get back out
13:39on the field.
13:4011 of 14,
13:4188 yards
13:42and a touchdown
13:42in the first half
13:43for Joe Burrow.
13:47On the three-yard line,
13:48DeAndre Carter.
13:50Carter across the 25
13:51and across the 30
13:53and down
13:53to the 32-yard line.
13:55We welcome you back
13:56up in the booth
13:57alongside Daryl Johnston.
13:58I'm Kevin Coogler.
13:59We'll hear from Alistair
14:00Williams in just a moment.
14:02Balance seemed to be
14:03the order of the day.
14:04I don't know
14:04that you would have said
14:05that last year.
14:05In fact,
14:05you wouldn't have
14:06the two most pass-heavy
14:07offenses in the
14:08National Football League.
14:09Yeah, almost right down
14:10the middle.
14:1014-14 for Cincinnati,
14:1215-14 for Cleveland.
14:14That is what I think
14:15is the biggest surprise
14:16to me,
14:16and I think it's going
14:17to be the one team
14:18that can maintain that
14:19here through the second
14:20half is going to have
14:21a great shot at winning
14:22this game,
14:22and it really hurts
14:23Cincinnati when you're
14:25allowing Cleveland
14:26to be on the field
14:27and control the clock
14:28the way that they've
14:29been able to do
14:29in that first half.
14:30That's something
14:31you've got to remedy.
14:32Blackwell will check it
14:33down.
14:33This is Dylan Sampson
14:34out of the backfield,
14:35and Sampson with a good game.
14:37As we go down
14:38on the field, Allison,
14:39you've got a chance
14:40to catch up with both
14:40head coaches?
14:41Yeah, so many questions
14:42about what we would see
14:43from this Cincinnati
14:44defense to start the season.
14:45Zach Taylor likes
14:46what he's seen so far.
14:47He said we were sticky
14:48in coverage.
14:49They got us on some
14:49penalties early,
14:50but overall really pleased
14:52with how they played.
14:53He said, though,
14:53it's time to take
14:54the next step,
14:55get some hands on the ball
14:56and create a turnover
14:57to give our offense
14:58that short field.
15:00Second down and three.
15:01I can't get it!
15:03And on second down,
15:14Sampson clogged up
15:16on that left side.
15:18Nothing there.
15:19It'll bring up third down.
15:20B.J. Hill jammed that up
15:23for the Bengals' defense.
15:24Slipping right under those arms.
15:33That's like London Bridge
15:34when you're a kid.
15:38One for five on third down.
15:40Maybe the biggest difference
15:41in this game is what
15:42each team has been able
15:43to do offensively on third.
15:45And I think the big reason
15:46is because Cincinnati
15:47has really done a good job
15:48and they were committed
15:49to doing that
15:50and staying into that
15:50third advantage.
15:54Third and three.
15:56Definitely manageable
15:57for Flacco.
15:59Steps to his right.
16:01Throws and there's Fannin.
16:02The rookie tied in
16:03who they have raved about
16:05all camp down to the 44.
16:07Picks up 18 and a first.
16:11The great thing that
16:12Harold Fannin does
16:13on this play
16:14is he has contact
16:15with Joe Flacco.
16:18Eye contact right there.
16:19He sees him start to sprint
16:20out to the right
16:22and he just follows him
16:23right out there.
16:24And again,
16:25you've got to be able
16:26to help out your guys
16:27up front.
16:28That's Jerome Ford
16:28and that pass protection.
16:30It forces Joe out
16:32to the right
16:32but that's where
16:32that route was designed
16:33to go.
16:34So just a good ad-lib
16:35on there by quarterback
16:36in tight end.
16:37Play action.
16:38Flacco short.
16:40It's Fannin again.
16:41Breaks a tackle
16:42and Fannin down
16:43to the 37.
16:44There is a flag down
16:45in the backfield
16:46and this is going
16:47to be a hold.
16:48Logan Wilson
16:56may be down
16:57at the end of the play.
16:58Number 79.
17:0010-yard penalty
17:01remains for a stop.
17:02Lon Jones
17:08with the hold.
17:12Working on the outside
17:14against Miles Murphy.
17:15Logan Wilson dinged up
17:24as they tend to him.
17:25We'll step aside.
17:27Logan Wilson
17:28you see
17:29came in
17:29and got jarred
17:31helmet to helmet
17:32with Harold Fannin Jr.
17:33He is in the
17:35blue medical tent
17:36right now.
17:36Barrett Carter
17:37the rookie
17:37Clemson on the field.
17:39Flacco
17:40out of the shotgun
17:41able to find Njoku
17:42and he is yanked down
17:44at the 42
17:45of Cincinnati.
17:47D.J. Turner
17:47and Barrett Carter
17:48who just came in
17:49with the tackle.
17:52Joe Flacco
17:53is always going to know
17:53where David Njoku is.
17:55It's just a nice
17:55easy crossing route
17:56that comes through
17:57there underneath.
17:59Good job getting him
18:00down to the ground.
18:01He is tough
18:01after the catch.
18:03Second and eight.
18:04Flacco to the sideline.
18:06Judy working one-on-one
18:07with D.J. Turner.
18:09Pass broken up.
18:10No flag
18:10and it's third down.
18:14Yeah, I think that
18:15this is going to be
18:15kind of even
18:16on both sides of the ball.
18:17I'm glad the officials
18:18letting him play like
18:19in this situation.
18:21You can see
18:21if anything
18:22it might have been
18:22a little offensive
18:23on Jerry Judy
18:25but I like the no call there.
18:28So brings up
18:28a third and eight.
18:30He's turned away
18:30in this third quarter.
18:31First possession
18:32of the third
18:34if he stepped away
18:34for a moment.
18:39Motion
18:39from Ford
18:40in the backfield.
18:42Three receivers
18:43bunched to the top.
18:48Blacko
18:48with time
18:49over the middle.
18:50Catch man
18:51and hanging on
18:51through the hit
18:52is Cedric Tillman.
18:54He's got a first down
18:55a pickup of 12
18:56on the play.
18:57One of those big guys
19:02does a lot
19:03in the run game
19:03so nice to see him
19:04getting an opportunity
19:06in the pass game.
19:07He's running the end.
19:08He knows he's going
19:08to take that shot
19:09but boy he's a big guy.
19:10We saw him at practice
19:12on Friday.
19:13I mean 6-2,
19:146-3,
19:152-10,
19:152-15.
19:16I mean just a big
19:17physical guy.
19:19Biggest question
19:19though has always been
19:20can he stay out there?
19:21Can he play the full season?
19:23Really was coming on
19:24last season
19:24and then missed
19:25those last six games
19:26after that concussion.
19:27First down and 10.
19:32And off Ford
19:33and Ford
19:35dropped to the backfield.
19:36Outstanding penetration
19:37from Joseph Osai.
19:39No gain on the play
19:40but Osai made sure
19:41he couldn't turn the corner
19:43and go around
19:43that left edge.
19:45And not really bringing
19:46pressure
19:47or to that degree
19:49but what we're seeing now
19:50is a little bit
19:51of what Al Golden
19:52and this defense
19:53is going to be about
19:54this year.
19:55When you talk about
19:56the principles
19:56and the velocities
19:57that he's had
19:57obviously the big one
19:58is he'll talk takeaways
20:00he calls it ball disruption
20:01and it's taught
20:02and it's practiced
20:03every day
20:03but you can see
20:04the quickness
20:04that they're moving
20:05and it's one of the ones
20:07where I felt
20:07some of the guys
20:08who listen to the comments
20:08and they felt like
20:09they had to think
20:10too much last year.
20:11I think this defense
20:12really frees them up
20:13to be able to use
20:14their athletic ability
20:15to play fast.
20:18And play clock
20:19running down
20:20that'll be a delay of game.
20:24Delay of game
20:25offense
20:26five yard penalty
20:28remains second out.
20:29So back up five
20:30and the real question
20:31with that Bengals defense
20:32was what they were going to be
20:33because we didn't know
20:34what we saw from them
20:35in the preseason
20:36and Al Golden said
20:37that was one of the toughest things
20:38they'd prep all week
20:39against their offense
20:40and then he said
20:41we kind of had to shield it
20:43during the preseason games
20:44because they deliberately
20:45didn't want to show their hand
20:46at all in the preseason.
20:47No, no joint practices either.
20:49So nobody really knew
20:50exactly what they were going to be
20:52because they did all their install
20:53and really dug into the details
20:55at practice.
20:59Second and 15.
21:01Flacco steps up
21:02throws that one
21:03catch made off the turf
21:04by Dylan Sampson
21:06and he picks up
21:0814 of the 15
21:09that they needed.
21:13Yeah, really nice job.
21:15Get your running back
21:16split out into that slot.
21:17We've talked a little bit
21:18with Chase Brown
21:20on the opposite side
21:21being able to do that
21:22but there's Dylan Sampson
21:23right there
21:23showing you that he can
21:24leave the formation
21:25and go out and run
21:26some wide receivers routes
21:28as well
21:28and that's a
21:28heck of a catch
21:30on a ball throw down low
21:31and then the ability
21:32to kind of get back up
21:33and get some yards
21:34after catch.
21:35Logan Wilson
21:36going to the locker room
21:37on third down
21:39and two
21:39for Cleveland.
21:45Cleveland two for two
21:46on this drive
21:47on third down.
21:48Flacco
21:48swinging.
21:49Sampson
21:50has the edge.
21:51He's got the first down
21:52tossed to the turf
21:53at the 16
21:55by Demetrius Knight
21:56but a five yard gain
21:57and a first down.
22:00Yeah, utilizing
22:01that quickness, right?
22:02So you're going to have
22:02this one come out here.
22:03Here's something else to watch.
22:05Really good job here.
22:0571 on the block.
22:07Kind of gets him the corner
22:08and then able to get downfield
22:10and get another block.
22:13Quickness onto the edge
22:14gets your fast guys
22:15out in space.
22:17You're seeing some hands
22:18from Dylan Sampson
22:19on this drive.
22:21Two catches
22:22with a high degree
22:22of difficulty.
22:26Three tight ends now
22:27on first down and ten.
22:30Flacco off the play fake.
22:34Pressure up the middle.
22:35Steps to his right
22:36and Flacco throws this one away.
22:39B.J. Hill
22:40and Shamar Stewart
22:41with the pressure
22:42and it's second and ten.
22:47And that's what you
22:47don't want to see
22:48if you're a Bengals fan
22:49is number nine
22:50over there on the bench
22:51and to credit
22:53to this Browns offense
22:54for being able to do that
22:55during the course of the game
22:57and really
22:57you know
22:58forcing that offense
22:59you know
23:00to the value
23:01of every possession
23:02in this game
23:03and we saw that
23:03in the first quarter
23:04when each team had one
23:05was going to be
23:06one of the keys.
23:07You've got to maximize
23:08your possession
23:10every time you have
23:10the football
23:11because there's not
23:11going to be a lot
23:12of them here
23:12this afternoon.
23:14All right.
23:15Thrash in motion.
23:17Sampson.
23:18Nice little move.
23:19Sampson.
23:19Down
23:20near the nine-yard line
23:23finally able to yank him down
23:25Jordan Battle.
23:27He's going to end up
23:28about three yards shy
23:30of the first.
23:32This is the
23:33the Dylan Sampson drive.
23:35You know
23:35just a quick little screen
23:36out there
23:36he has to go back inside
23:38but really blocked well
23:39down the field.
23:42Jordan.
23:46Nice catch of the snap.
23:47Joe's probably seen a snap
23:50in every single
23:51possible position
23:52in his now 18th year.
23:55While Joe Burrow waits
23:56probably impatiently.
23:59Twelfth play of this drive.
24:01Third down and three.
24:02Toss play.
24:04Sampson.
24:04Blocker in front.
24:06Gets the edge.
24:07First and goal
24:07at the five.
24:09Barrett Carter
24:10tracked him down.
24:12And he had
24:13Cornelius Lucas
24:14out there
24:14providing a little bit
24:15of help.
24:17They're getting to the edge
24:19here in the second half.
24:20You know
24:21whether it's a toss sweep
24:22like they have on this play
24:23whether it's one of the
24:24quick screens
24:25but right now
24:26they're really getting out
24:28outnumbered
24:29on the perimeter
24:30being able to get there
24:30even getting the
24:31Cornelius Lucas
24:33out in front of that play.
24:36First down and goal.
24:38Sampson getting a breather.
24:39He's carried the mail
24:40on this drive.
24:43Flacco.
24:45Over the middle
24:46into the end zone.
24:48Cedric Tillman
24:49touchdown
24:49and the Browns lead.
24:51We talked about
25:05Joe Burrow
25:05and the throw
25:06he had early
25:07in the game
25:07into a tight window.
25:09I want you to watch
25:09this one
25:10by Joe Flacco.
25:12This is outstanding.
25:13If you're the quarterback
25:14and you're looking
25:14downfield
25:15where's that ball going?
25:16Where's my guy?
25:18Look at that mess
25:19over there
25:19and just anticipates
25:21there's an opening
25:22anticipates
25:23Cedric Tillman
25:24to be there
25:25and throws a great ball.
25:28Andre Schmidt
25:29with the extra point.
25:34And Schmidt's kick
25:36is no good.
25:38Missed it
25:39wide
25:40to the right
25:41so it stays
25:4316-14
25:45but the Browns
25:48with the lead
25:50with the lead.
25:50Joe Flacco
25:51finds Tillman
25:54for six.
25:55That's all they get
25:56but it's enough
25:57to give Cleveland
25:58the edge
25:58over Cincinnati
25:59in the third.
26:04His vengeance.
26:0716-14
26:08Browns
26:09getting a little
26:10vengeance
26:11for a 3-14 season
26:14with the lead
26:14with the lead
26:14here in the third quarter
26:15as the kickoff takes
26:16a Cleveland hop
26:18and goes into the end zone
26:19for the touchback.
26:22Tuesday, September 23rd
26:23the critically acclaimed
26:24smash hit
26:25Doc returns
26:26with a thrilling
26:27season premiere.
26:29After a doctor
26:29loses eight years
26:30of her memory
26:31a patient comes back
26:32to haunter.
26:33Doc returns Tuesday,
26:34September 23rd
26:35on Fox.
26:38Joe Burrow
26:38back to work.
26:39You see the clock
26:407.20 to go
26:41in the third.
26:42The ball at the 20
26:43because it hit
26:44in the landing zone
26:44and bounced
26:45into the end zone.
26:46So they start
26:47at the 20-yard line
26:48and Joe Burrow
26:49you know how anxious
26:50he has to be right now
26:52to get this offense going.
26:53Yeah, and we touched
26:54on that middle eight.
26:55It was 14-7
26:57Cincinnati
26:58when we got to that
26:58middle eight
26:59when they had four minutes
27:00to go
27:00and they had the possession
27:01at the end of the first half
27:02and then opened here
27:02in the second half
27:04and able to pull
27:05nine points
27:06off those two possessions
27:07through that middle eight
27:08times.
27:08From the 20-yard line
27:10off play action.
27:12Burrow to throw
27:12checks it short
27:13catch made by Noah Fant
27:15and Fant
27:17fights his way
27:18near the 25
27:19give him five
27:20on first down
27:21and it'll bring up
27:22second down
27:23and five.
27:23Now remember
27:24that opening drive
27:24there was so much
27:25chase ground
27:26on the ground.
27:28Start this one
27:29with a pass
27:29we'll see where they go
27:30here but it's been
27:30a real balanced attack
27:31for the Bengals.
27:32Yeah, I think you've
27:33got to get back
27:33to what you do best.
27:34We heard that
27:34from both of these teams
27:36listen it's week one
27:37it's going to be
27:38kind of what we do best
27:40against what we expect
27:41the opponent to do
27:42because there are so
27:43many unknowns
27:43especially for Cleveland
27:45on their side
27:46but you know
27:47it's time for Joe Burrow
27:48and this offense
27:48to start hitting their stride.
27:5193 yards passing
27:52for Burrow
27:53mid third quarter.

27:59there's Chase Brown
28:00on the handoff
28:01and he struggles forward
28:02near the 28-yard line
28:04it'll bring up third
28:06and a long two
28:07a short three
28:08depending on the spot
28:09trying to go quick here
28:10it'll be third and two
28:13just the sixth carry
28:19since the opening drive
28:20for Chase Brown
28:21on third down
28:36four man Brown's rush
28:39Burrow floats it down

28:43Greg Newsome
28:45on the coverage
28:46the pass incomplete
28:48and the Bengals
28:50will punt it away
28:51this is really well done
28:53and we've seen both guys

30:08collapsing that pocket
30:09to get the
30:10Flacco loss of six
30:11just waiting for him
30:15to make a play
30:16you know
30:16you've got to have
30:17your guys
30:18step up in that time
30:19and Trey Hendrickson
30:21is the one
30:21to squeeze it down
30:22and as you pointed out
30:23you know
30:24they just
30:24they meet at the quarterback
30:25there
30:25you know
30:26coming around
30:27with BJ Hill
30:27on the inside
30:28so again
30:29the Browns
30:30starting off
30:31getting into some
30:32second and long situations
30:33with negative plays
30:34and penalties
30:35on first down
30:35first sack
30:36for either team today
30:37it's second and long
30:38Flacco pressure again
30:40able to somehow
30:41get away
30:42the pass deflected
30:43and intercepted
30:44picked off by Jordan Battle
30:46Battle working his way
30:48near the 25
30:49before he's dropped
30:50Fannin on the tackle
30:53but Battle
30:54with the acrobatic pick
30:55to set the Bengals up
30:57in Cleveland territory
30:58yeah this
31:03this is a great play
31:04by Jordan Battle
31:05and you know what
31:06Joe Flacco
31:06great poise in the pocket
31:08makes a throw
31:09now you're going to go down
31:10to try and pull this ball up
31:11off the turf
31:12and it's going to pop up
31:13so Jerry Judy
31:14trying to get that
31:15pops up
31:15just great reaction
31:17by Jordan Battle
31:18and these are some of the things
31:19that it sounds like
31:20Al Golden does
31:21at practice
31:22with the guys
31:22whether it's trying to
31:23create that fumble
31:24having loose balls
31:25in the air
31:25making sure that it's us
31:26that gets to him
31:27well remember
31:29one of the things
31:29Al Golden told us
31:31he said
31:31when Joe Flacco
31:32has had his interceptions
31:33it's a lot of when
31:34he's had to reset
31:35move his feet
31:36get re-situated
31:37in the pocket
31:38he had to do that
31:39because of the
31:39Osai rush there
31:40now the interceptions
31:42are a hard one
31:43to really pin all on
31:44Flacco
31:44it took a great bounce
31:45for Cincinnati
31:46in an acrobatic play
31:47but still
31:48that was one thing
31:49Al Golden stressed
31:49was we want to make him
31:50move

36:49sounded different
36:49during training camp
36:50Evan McPherson

37:34Superman is what
37:38one of these quarterbacks
37:39hopes to be

37:49DeAndre Carter

37:50Carter a little
37:52shoulder fake
37:53to the 25
37:54and he's stacked up there
37:55in Super Bowl 57
37:59the Chiefs beat
38:00the Eagles
38:00in a thriller
38:01this past February

38:22Logan Wilson
38:25has returned
38:26to the field
38:27was evaluated
38:28for a concussion
38:29and has cleared
38:30concussion protocol
38:31on first down
38:32it's Dylan Sampson
38:33and Sampson
38:35starts off this possession
38:37with a three-yard run
38:38I think that that's
38:42the one thing
38:42that they have to do
38:43here right now
38:43is get back in
38:44and start running
38:45that football effectively
38:46I mean you
38:47you can talk about
38:48running the football
38:49but the most important
38:50thing is
38:50can you run it
38:51when you have to run it
38:52right now
38:52I think it's important
38:53for the Cleveland Browns
38:55to be able to run
38:56the football effectively
38:57and even though
38:58that wasn't on Joe Flacco
38:59on that last drive
39:00you've got your first
39:00your first turnover
39:02let's get everybody
39:03settled back into
39:04what our offensive plan
39:05was coming into this game
39:06Flacco
39:11swings
39:12Sampson
39:12on the edge
39:14with Najoku blocking
39:15and there's Logan Wilson
39:16big impact he makes
39:17on the tackle
39:18big impact
39:19Carissa Thompson

39:46fifth catch
39:48of the afternoon
39:49this one for 25
39:50for Tillman
39:51great to see him
39:53just kind of bouncing
39:54back after that tough
39:55season last year
39:56he's off to a
39:57good start there
39:58middle of the year
39:59and then that injury
40:00keeps him out of the lineup
40:01and he was the unknown
40:02coming in here
40:03they saw glimpses
40:04of the potential
40:05before he got hurt
40:07and just great
40:07to see Cedric Tillman
40:08picking up
40:09and getting back
