00:00Those are absolutely killer Logan you said it earlier the difference between 3rd and 8 and 3rd and 13
00:05It's a totally different portion of Kellen Moore's
00:09Call sheet so now the Cardinals will play a soft zone. They'll let the Saints completed underneath and make the tag
00:16Rattler steps up. Yep, they completed underneath they get it to John Johnson
00:23Thank you for teaching us football Ross. That's exactly what played out you get third along that's never good in the NFL
00:30Especially against his Cardinals defense that makes it so much disguise and confusion in the back and Rattler's gonna check it down every single time
00:38By the way, it's 11 penalties overall for the Saints
00:4311 penalties for the Saints today six for the Cardinals
00:46They've cleaned it up a little bit since the early part of that first half
00:50Dorich is back deep to receive Kroger is on the punt
00:55Kroger just gets it off and it's a good punt
00:59He's out of bounds inside the 10-yard line
01:03So not great field position for Kyler Murray, but he's got a 10-point lead when we return
01:11Chipotle just dropped build your own Chipotle

02:06Switch and save get more with Geico
02:10You're watching NFL kickoff presented by YouTube TV, and Dorch grabbed that punt, went out
02:22of bounds at the six yard line, and that's where the Cardinals will begin.
02:27It gives the Saints, Tom, an unbelievable opportunity here to get points, right?
02:31If you get them through a three and out, you probably get field position on the Cardinals
02:36side of the field, but it's got to be a three and out, because you also don't want them
02:39to be able to keep looking at this clock here in the fourth quarter.
02:42Yeah, three tight ends, and they have Conor coming out of the backfield.
02:45He's at the bottom of your screen.
02:46Empty set up, thinking Kyler's legs, maybe even a draw here.
02:51Lips is coming in.
02:53Now they pull it back.
02:55Play clock was down to one.
02:57Murray at the goal line, and he slides forward.
02:59A flag comes in.
03:00There's a flag sitting in the end zone.
03:02Was the hold in the end zone?
03:04Yeah, this is massive.
03:05Oh, he just moved it.
03:06He just moved it.
03:07Hold it.
03:08Offense number 63, half the distance to the goal.
03:12First down.
03:12Yeah, so the flag was in the end zone at the last minute before the call was made.
03:16They rolled it up to the one-yard line.
03:18Let's watch Evan Brown here.
03:20Left guard, 63.
03:21Where does the hold occur?
03:23They come with a stunt.
03:24He's got the right hand there.
03:26I think that's the right call.
03:27I think that's the one-yard line.
03:28That was not a safety.
03:30When they first threw the flag, the flag was in the end zone.
03:32That's a good job by the officials.
03:34Yes, so they move it to the three, but again, they're creeping backward here.
03:40First and 13.
03:42And I would expect the Cardinals to run the ball on this one.
03:46Wilson in motion.
03:47Murray going to throw.
03:48Murray going to the middle.
03:49Harrison, he overthrows him.
03:51He had his man beats.
03:52I thought that.
03:55The Saints thought that the run game was coming, but clearly it had something dialed up.
03:59They just missed it.
04:00But how did they just miss that?
04:02I mean, these guys work on this all day, Logan.
04:04He's wide open.
04:05I just don't understand sometimes.
04:07That wasn't even close.
04:10And this is the problem they had last year.
04:13They did not execute enough when he targeted Harrison.
04:16Done a good job in the first half, but that was a near miss.
04:18That could have went 99 yards.
04:20So based on that body language, I can't tell if Kyler was just upset with himself or maybe
04:24didn't feel like he was on the same page.
04:26I think he probably was just mad at himself.
04:28Second down and 13.
04:29Getting louder.
04:31They give it to Connor.
04:32And up the middle, he gets to the five-yard line, but that's it.
04:36And, Ross, you alluded to the three and out that's needed.
04:39The great field position for the Saints to get back in this game.
04:43This is the stop right here.
04:45You got to capitalize when you have a great punt.
04:47That's what a defense needs to do off great special teams.
04:50They got to keep the Cardinals pinned down here.
04:52And they've gotten a few sacks.
04:54Cam Jordan has a couple himself, so Kyler needs to be very careful, not only with the
04:58football, but can't take a sack, especially back in the end zone.
05:03Four sacks today for the Saints against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.
05:07It's third down at 11.
05:10Murray from his end zone.
05:11Quick toss.
05:12Has Harrison on a slam.
05:13Harrison has the first down.
05:16He got it by a yard.
05:17Brandon Staley decided not to call man-to-man.
05:22He called zone.
05:23And Marvin Harrison finds that spot.
05:25Ike Adams slips.
05:27And that is too easy.
05:28You got to put hands on the receiver in that situation.
05:31I know he's a great receiver.
05:33I know your back's against the wall.
05:34But in order to win the game, you can't back up.
05:36You got to put hands on there.
05:37That is a massive first down.
05:40Not only to be able to continue to run clock, but also not have to punt out of your own
05:44end zone.
05:45Can't overstate that significance of them being able to get that first.
05:49I want to love a more aggressive play call there from Staley.
05:52We'll keep an eye on Harrison.
05:53He's back on his feet on the sidelines.
05:55They give it to Connor.
05:56And Connor gets to the 19-yard line.
05:59Harrison, by the way, five catches, 71 yards.
06:01He had 70 yards or more three times last year.
06:04That was it.
06:05Well, and remember, the Kyler to Harrison connection last year, it was the worst in the NFL, guys.
06:1253.4 completion percentage.
06:15The worst quarterback to wide receiver connection.
06:18What did Kyler say to us yesterday, Logan?
06:20It's going to be way better than that this year.
06:22And it has been.
06:23Absolutely has been.
06:25Second down at eight.
06:32Wilson shuffling.
06:34Murray underneath.
06:36Pass is complete.
06:38He's got Ryman, who's his blocking tight end.
06:40You've got to feed the beast every once in a while, and he's got a first down.
06:44This is the stat we alluded to.
06:47Look at Kyler to wide receivers.
06:4826 in the league.
06:51And to tight ends, he's ninth.
06:53So, that connection to Marvin Harrison Jr. and his receiver core is going to be vital to close out games, to make that push that they expect to make this year.
07:0218 of 24, 152 yards for Kyler.
07:06Clock is under 11 minutes to play here in the fourth quarter.
07:09Murray, time in the pocket.
07:10Moves his feet.
07:12Moves away from his own teammate.
07:15But he's got positive yards.
07:16He's got a first down.
07:19Guys, that's an incredible play.
07:21I mean, that's why Kyler Murray's a special player.
07:24It was only a two-man route.
07:26Nobody was open.
07:27So, credit to Kyler.
07:30He's so good with his feet.
07:32So quick to be able to get the first down.
07:35Nobody was open.
07:36They were both double covered, and he gets a first down out of it.
07:39And, Ross, let me tell you the frustration of playing against this guy.
07:42He tiptoes the sideline like that.
07:44He always reaches the ball forward for that extra yard.
07:46That petty reach, I call it, is what Kyler Murray does.
07:49Yeah, because he doesn't want a lot of perturbation, as Jonathan Gatton told us, which is contacts.
07:57Wilson, covered up by Kool-Aid McKinstry.
08:01It'll be second down.
08:03Yeah, I think we were all introduced to a brand-new word, perturbation.
08:07That is rare when you never hear.
08:09Look at the battle on the perimeter with Kool-Aid.
08:12On top of him, looking back, that's a beautiful ball.
08:15Kool-Aid has gotten better as the game went on.
08:18He's showing up here, and he needs to continue down the stretch.
08:20There was some perturbation there, Terry.
08:21There it was, yep.
08:23Should we tell people what it is?
08:24It's contact.
08:25Yeah, just contact.
08:26He could have easily used the word contact.
08:29Gannon is very smart, and I sense that with that word there.
08:33It's going to help with the New York Times crossword puzzle down the road.
08:36On second down, they give it to Conner.
08:38Conner spins away from the defender and gets one.
08:42Let's check in with Tiffany Warren Kool-Aid.
08:44Hey, guys, I had a conversation with Kool-Aid.
08:46He told me that my job is to guard the best receiver on the opposing team.
08:49That's his role.
08:50He's going to embrace it.
08:51And it goes back to a conversation, a meeting he had with D.C. Brandon Staley.
08:55And he laid out his plans for Kool-Aid.
08:57Kool-Aid told me after that, it instilled so much confidence in him that he's a believer.
09:02And, Tom, you asked about the oh yeah.
09:03I asked him if he's ever let one out after a big hit.
09:06He said he might do it today.
09:07He's never done it before.
09:08He actually could have done it on that last play.
09:10It would have been perfect.
09:10Kool-Aid's third down and nine.
09:17Where's McBride?
09:19It's tipped at the line of scrimmage and nearly intercepted.
09:23Julian Blackman here almost had a gimme.
09:33Cam Jordan again pressuring.
09:35Hand up.
09:36He's really stepped up for the Saints today and every time they needed him.
09:39You want to come down with this as a DB, this would be massive.
09:43The punt is okay.
09:44The interception better.
09:46But you still give your offense a chance.
09:48Who else but Cam Jordan?
09:49I just can't believe.
09:50Why aren't you still playing if these guys are playing this well, Logan?
09:53Yeah, really, Logan?
09:54Why aren't you still playing?
09:55I did not put enough in the body care.
09:57The body care these guys do.
09:58I mean, they're spending.
09:59How much are you only playing 11 years?
10:00They're spending LeBron James money on the body care.
10:02That's why I'm here.
10:03We'll check in with you after that, too.
10:06Fair catch is called.
10:10From the 17-yard line.
10:12Ten-point game.
10:149-0-9 to play in the fourth quarter.
10:17Saints with the ball.
10:20Jameson, famously smooth whiskey.
10:23Pickers at Lambeau.
10:24You can also count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
10:29Don't forget Texans and Rams as well.
10:32Our pregame crew was out at Lambeau.
10:34They're still there.
10:35It was awesome.
10:35The site was fantastic.
10:37And that's a great matchup.
10:39A little Micah Farson's action today for the Packers.
10:41Here, the Saints lead it by 10, 20-10.
10:46Rattler avoids Buda Baker and throw is on the run incomplete.
10:50Broke it up by Max Melton, who's been busy today.
10:54Rutgers guy.
10:55He's really stepped up today.
10:57Both of these young corners have.
10:58That's been a question mark.
11:00Sean Murphy bunting.
11:01Starting corner out with a knee this year.
11:03They had to rely on both Will Johnson and Max Melton to play early.
11:07And those guys have stepped up today.
11:08Why does it feel like over the last 20 years, 90% of the NFL guys from Rutgers are DBs?
11:14What's in the water over there?
11:18Ooh!
11:20The ball came popping out.
11:22It's incomplete.
11:22Will Johnson with the hit.
11:25Will Johnson.
11:27Oh, man.
11:27Wow, we got to check on Olave.
11:28And it was Olave of all people with a concussion history.
11:32Yeah, the athletic training staff comes out immediately.
11:38He's getting out almost immediately.
11:40Tom, I know you're a Phillies guy.
11:41This is a la Lido Shepard Reggie Bush.
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:44In the flat.
11:45Do we remember that one?
11:46Will Johnson.
11:47It's a legal hit.
11:48Shoulder down.
11:49His head's off to the side.
11:50But Chris Olave's concussion history.
11:54And that hit right there is not a pretty sight.
11:55But I got to tell you, that is perfect technique by a rookie in Will Johnson.
12:01The shoulder into the chest.
12:03That is proof positive.
12:05You can deliver a vicious blow, but do it legally without hurting anybody's head.
12:10Remember, he had two concussions last year.
12:13And there's movement on the right side of the offensive line.
12:16Offense number 72.
12:17That's a five-yard lead.
12:19Third down.
12:20And, guys, that's the new right tackle.
12:22Awesome Richards.
12:23Remember, Tiff said that Fuwaga is questionable with a knee injury.
12:28So, Richard, they just picked him up like 10 days ago from the Cowboys.
12:32He's got to be out there.
12:33So, this is new to him.
12:34I wonder how many reps he's even gotten with the ones.
12:36And this is third in a mile.
12:37This is a dangerous situation for the Saints.
12:40You've got to convert to stay in the game, but you don't want to throw an interception either.
12:43It's a dozen penalties.
12:44They go underneath incomplete.
12:46And Brandon Cooks is nailed by Buda Baker.
12:53And this is what the Saints invested in, okay?
12:56They drafted six out of seven on defense.
12:59They brought in a whole new front seven.
13:01And they have a young secondary all built around Buda Baker.
13:05When you get third and long, you get behind on the Saints with their new pass rushers, Josh Sweat.
13:10And this secondary, these young corners, this is a bad place to play the Arizona Cardinals this year.
13:14And the Cardinals are going to get good field position because Dorch is walking up to the 42-yard line.
13:21So, their fans are enjoying the acceleration of this defense.
13:28Broker's punt.
13:29It's a hanger.
13:30Dorch is assessing.
13:31He's got it at the 37.
13:32Makes one man miss.
13:34And he splits two others.
13:37And he's got daylight along the sidelines.
13:39And he's out of bounds at the 40-yard line of the Saints.
13:42It's a 22-yard return.
13:45We'll be back in 30 seconds after this.
13:48This is a public service announcement to anyone out there.
13:52Come get cooked, I'm telling you.
13:55It's a W for us.
13:56It's a big win.
13:57I'm telling you.
13:58Ready, break.
13:58We got next.
14:21Saints have just popped up the blue 10.
14:23Chris Olave still walking along the sidelines.
14:26Has not gone in just yet.
14:27Looks like he's walking there right now.
14:29He just took a hit from Will Johnson on the last possession by the Saints.
14:35So, Kellen Moore is now going to lean on his defense.
14:39And Brandon Staley, the defensive coordinator,
14:43to try to slow up the Cardinals who have a 10-point lead with 8.43 to play in the fourth quarter.
14:48He's got to dial up some pressure.
14:49He's got to cause disruption, some chaos,
14:51because the Cardinals are such a good running offense.
14:54And they know they have all those tight ends they like to play with.
14:56You see all of them in the backfield there.
15:01Along with Benson, who's behind Kyler Murray.
15:08They give it to Benson.
15:10Benson had nothing going right.
15:11Cuts back left.
15:12And Kool-Aid and Kinstry comes and makes the tackle.
15:14So, a gain of three.
15:20So, listen, there's still eight minutes left.
15:23So, they're not in four-minute offense mode yet.
15:25But there's absolutely no reason why they should snap the ball until there's less than five seconds up on the play clock, right?
15:33Like, you shorten the game as soon as you can shorten the game if you have a two-score lead in the fourth quarter.
15:40So, I'd be surprised if Murray snaps this ball before it at least gets to five or four.
15:47This is well done right now.
15:50Yeah, it's under five.
15:51He takes it at four.
15:52Middle of the field.
15:54Pass is complete.
15:55Zay Jones, his first catch.
15:58And he sits down at the 34 in front of DeMario Davis.
16:02And this is a big third down for the Saints here, right?
16:04Obviously, with time and score, they need to stop here.
16:08Do the Cardinals look at four-down territory?
16:11Go up 13 or try to really put this away if they get a first down here?
16:14That's some good strategy that they've got to think about.
16:17But I think the empty formations have allowed Kyler Murray to put his Jalen Hurts on the game.
16:22Though it, if he can, if not, he can run through the V-gaps.
16:31Harrison is in motion.
16:34Trips to the top.
16:36Murray looks left, throws left, has McBride for a first down.
16:39And now the clock will wind under seven minutes to play here in the fourth quarter.
16:48Well, this is Kool-Aid versus the number one target for the Cardinals and Trey McBride.
16:52And Kool-Aid has to put his hands on him.
16:54I saw he flashed him at the line of scrimmage.
16:55But you've got to put your hands on the big tight end.
16:58Disrupt a little bit of timing.
16:59But shouldn't a tight end, I mean, shouldn't a corner like that, a number one corner,
17:03be able to have closer coverage on a tight end?
17:05I mean, he's got to win that matchup, right?
17:06He mis-thought it.
17:07He didn't want to get too physical with him because you don't want to get out-physicaled
17:10by a tight end.
17:11But he gave too much space in that situation.
17:14So first down to the 28-yard line after that gate of five.
17:18They give it to Benson.
17:19Benson breaks a tackle in the backfield.
17:20But that is wrapped up and taken down in the backfield.
17:23Stay tuned for the NFL Today update delivered by Little Caesars.
17:26Time permitting, all the latest NFL scores.
17:29And there's some real interesting ones as well.
17:31And highlights.
17:33You mentioned that Jets-Steelers game.
17:34That's gone back and forth.
17:35The Raiders and the Patriots, the Colts are beating up on the Dolphins right now.
17:42And the Cardinals are milking that clock.
17:44Yeah, they are.
17:44Exactly what they want to be doing with this drive.
17:48This is how you squeeze out a game.
17:52Yeah, 5-10.
17:53Murray will keep it himself on second down.
18:01Murray splits the defenders and then stumbles forward to the 21.
18:04There is a flag down, however.
18:08I don't know if they're going to get Froho.
18:10Holding.
18:10Offense number 72.
18:13That's a 10-yard penalty.
18:14Second down.
18:16That's a gigantic penalty on Froho.
18:19It's the difference between it being third and short.
18:22Watch the center all the way, okay?
18:25He's going to pull and kick out at the end.
18:27That left hand outside, you can't keep it out there, right?
18:30He tackles him at the end.
18:31And I love the tenacity from Froho, but in this league, if you take a guy to the ground
18:36and your arm's outside like that, they're going to call it every time.
18:41That penalty is the 8th for the Cardinals.
18:44Good job admitting.
18:47I've been waiting.
18:48The first step.
18:49He didn't admit that he ever did it, though.
18:51The first step is admitting you've got a problem, yeah.
18:55It does give him another down, by the way, to keep turning clock.
18:58Yeah, they have to get to the 18 for a first down.
19:01And Murray's going to keep it.
19:05And he falls forward to the 35-yard line.
19:09I alluded to it earlier in the drive, fellas, that those spread formations,
19:13why are they in the shotgun in this situation?
19:15It allows Kyler Murray to use his legs.
19:19Another third down here, but Kellen Moore's got to eventually use some timeout.
19:23He can't take all six home.
19:24I was wondering about that.
19:25Right, we're going to have a timeout, you know, gate in this game week one here.
19:28He's got to use some of them.
19:29But eventually, they'll start, depending how this third down goes.
19:32Third and 17, if you're the Cardinals, this is something conservative, right?
19:36You just want a better field goal, and you want to keep the clock going.
19:39I wouldn't be surprised if they run it.
19:40Do you have this one-on-one down bottom?
19:42I think the safety's popping out and clouding.
19:44Well, they give it to Benson, so they do go conservative.
19:47Benson following McBride's block.
19:49He's hit by Coyne McKinstry as he falls forward, and a timeout is called by the Saints.
19:56That's a good timeout by Kellen Moore.
19:58You've got to call that timeout now.
20:00You're down 10.
20:01He's got to be aggressive with his timeout calls when he's on the defensive side of the ball.
20:05You can control the clock when you're on offense.
20:08That's the first one of his head coaching career.
20:11The first one's the hardest.
20:13You've got to get through the first timeout, and then you'll start figuring out how to use them, you know?
20:17Yeah, he had all three in his back pocket going into the locker room at the end of the first half.
20:23So now here's Ryland.
20:28He's trying to make this a 13-point game.
20:30Again, it's still a two-score game.
20:32Looks like it's going to be a 46-yard field goal attempt.
20:41And it is.
20:42He's two for two.
20:43He's made 42 and 50 today.
20:52Good ball.
20:52Oh, it's blocked!
20:54And the ball will go out of the back of the end zone.
20:59Brzee looked like he got his hands on it.
21:02We'll be back in 30 seconds after this to take a look.
21:07$7 for coffee?
21:09Nah.
21:10How about Sonic's salted caramel toffee iced coffee with cold foam for only $2.99?
21:16It's the fancy without the pricey.
21:20Do you want to live free?
21:23Lowe's knows when you start grilling, the guest list starts growing.
21:26That's why we help you get everything you need and more.
21:29Mind if I crash the party?
21:30Jack Prescott.
21:31To help make the most out of every gathering this fall.
21:35Appreciate you guys.
21:36I know you guys saw those replays.
21:41That was pretty incredible.
21:42The athleticism from Brzee to jump over the line and get his hands on that ball.
21:48Big fella had hops.
21:49He really did.
21:50And he didn't use his hands at all for leverage.
21:52That's the most impressive part.
21:53So now it's a 10-point game with four and a half to play.
21:56Rattler on first down underneath.
21:59Pass is complete to Olave.
22:01That's a good sign.
22:02He's back in the game.
22:04Tempo now all day.
22:05Now you got a tempo for the rest of the game.
22:07But the Cardinals will just give you that.
22:09I mean, they'll give you a five-yard completion underneath that just keeps the clock moving.
22:13And he resents.
22:13Rattler to the middle of the field.
22:17Pass is complete to his tight end, Jawan Johnson.
22:22Well, Rabbit could not jump up and make that deflection.
22:26Well, the Cardinals don't want to give you this one.
22:28This is more down the field.
22:30Beautiful ball by Rattler.
22:31Jawan Johnson's been on the spot all day.
22:33But it's the first down of the 37-yard line of the Cardinals.
22:38Rattler again.
22:38Quick toss.
22:39Pass is complete.
22:40But Shahid breaks the tackle and then is wrapped up and taken down by Melton and a couple of others.
22:46Buda Baker was there as well.
22:48I am really surprised the Cardinals gave up that post to Jawan Johnson.
22:52Look to me, Logan.
22:54Correct me if I'm wrong.
22:54Buda got a little bit too nosy trying to get one of the underneath routes.
23:01Johnson, by the way, seven catches.
23:0271 yards.
23:03Rattler on the run.
23:05Pass complete inside the 20-yard line.
23:08Well done.
23:10Valet with his first reception for the Saints.
23:13Well, the thing about Spencer Rattler is, although he's kind of making his first start this year,
23:18he is dangerous.
23:19He's got that arm.
23:20He's slippery.
23:21That is a beautiful ball there to Valet.
23:23And this kid is capable.
23:25He's one of those guys where you can't just say it's going to be an easy game against him
23:29because of how good his arm talent is.
23:31And he got out of bounds.
23:33And he got out of bounds.
23:35They're inside the red zone.
23:37Johnson, the tight end in motion.
23:39Rattler looking that way.
23:41And he's going to run it.
23:42Inside the 10.
23:44A flag is in.
23:44And he gets down close to the 5.
23:46They're going to mark him at the 7.
23:50I think the penalty is against the Cardinals.
23:52I mean, look at the kid.
23:59During the run, holding defense number 16.
24:03Half the distance to the goal in an automatic for Scott.
24:06That'll move it inside the 4-yard line.
24:09Look at Spencer Rattler.
24:10The word was slippery.
24:11They got it.
24:12He's doing his best Kyler Murray impression.
24:14I was just going to say that.
24:15Wiggling through the pocket.
24:18Scrambling for yards.
24:19No sliding.
24:20This guy's got a chip on his shoulder.
24:21He's been through adversity.
24:22He's been doubted since the Netflix TV show how long ago.
24:26But he's matured a ton since that.
24:29And he knows this is his opportunity to do something special this year for himself and his career.
24:32Well, Kamara is back to the ballgame.
24:34He's in the backfield.
24:36On first and goal.
24:38Rattler to the middle.
24:39It's deflected.
24:40And it's incomplete.
24:42Was broken up by Mack Wilson, who got his hand up.
24:48You want to talk about somebody getting up?
24:52Wow.
24:53The extension.
24:56He's only 6'1".
24:58He's playing above the rim, Ross.
25:01Oh, he's playing above the rim.
25:02The former Patriot, Mack Wilson.
25:04A signal caller for this defense.
25:06The retooled defense that we've talked about of all the guys they brought in.
25:10Cannot take a sack here if you're Rattler.
25:13For a bunch of different reasons.
25:14He's changing the play.
25:18They give it to Kamara.
25:19And the Kamara's hit behind the line of scrimmage.
25:22With 3.08 to play.
25:25I think it was Stills who got in there.
25:28Stills had a terrific play.
25:29Brings up third down.
25:30And could be a decision here for Kellen Moore.
25:33If the Saints don't get a touchdown.
25:35On the ball quickly.
25:36Don't have too much time.
25:38Off the plate fake.
25:39Rattler rolls to the right.
25:41Nothing.
25:42He's open.
25:42He's going to throw it away.
25:45What do you do here, guys?
25:46I mean, it's fourth down.
25:47I think you've got to kick the field goal.
25:49You've got to make it a one-score game.
25:50Moore looks like he's going to call play here.
25:53You need a touchdown and a field goal.
25:56Now he's changed his mind.
25:57He's going to send the field goal team out there.
25:59Yeah, so groupie's going to come on.
26:00He's already missed the one.
26:02You have to make it a one-score game.
26:04You know the onside kick is hard to recover.
26:08But with the two timeouts and the two-minute warning, you can potentially still get the ball back in time.
26:13Well, this will be a 23-yard field goal attempt.
26:20Play clock is down under five.
26:24Snap is good.
26:25Hope is good.
26:25The kick is right through the middle.
26:27And it's a seven-point game, 20-13, with 2.44 to play here in the fourth quarter.
26:35Remember, tonight, for the first time ever, the MTV VMAs are on CBS.
26:40LL Cool J hosts the iconic, most unpredictable music event right here on CBS, live after the game.
26:49There is a flag, by the way.
26:51Late flag.
26:53It's on the other side of the field.
26:56And we'll get an explanation from Scott Novak.
27:02Doc, Doc, Doc.
27:07All right, Doc, they needed a little confirmation.
27:10Legal formation on a kicking team.
27:13They had five players in the backfield.
27:15Oh, wow.
27:15It's a five-yard penalty replay.
27:17So they've got to do it again.
27:22And field goals have been all but automatic today.
27:29So it's right here.
27:30Right here, the wing, or the tight end, he's going to be up on the ball.
27:33You know what probably happened?
27:35With Fuaga being out, they have somebody else, Eric McCoy, as the tight end on field goal
27:42extra point.
27:43If you're the tight end, you have to be up on the ball.
27:47I played that position.
27:48It's not fun.
27:49You usually get run over with dignity.
27:50Well, this will be a 28-yard field goal attempt.
27:57Remember, Groupie's missed the one so far today.
28:00From the middle of the field.
28:02And again, right down the middle.
28:05It is a three-point, it's a seven-point game.
28:08All right, so how do you guys look at this?
28:10I mean, two timeouts left for the Saints.
28:122.42 to play.
28:13Do you do it onside here, or do you just kick it off?
28:14You know, Logan, I don't think that there's a hard and fast answer here, right?
28:18Because of the two timeouts and the two-minute warning, you can definitely kick it away,
28:24hope you get the three and out, get the ball back.
28:27There are some coaches, though, that would say, hey, I want to take this chance right
28:31now.
28:31I want to at least take the chance of the onside kick and give myself that opportunity to get
28:36the ball now and then try to get the three and out.
28:39But remember, with the onside kick rules nowadays, it is so hard to recover.
28:43Yep.
28:43It is not a play that is easy to recover.
28:47I think you kick this off, you use your two timeouts, you use a two-minute warning as
28:52your third timeout, you got to play good run defense to get the ball back.
28:56I agree.
28:57I think it was maybe, what, 6% was the onside kick recovery last year?
29:02I know the NFL is working to try to get it more like 10% to 12% because they realize there's
29:07virtually no chance of getting onside kicks in recent years.
29:13All right, well, Kruppi has it teed up at the 35.
29:17To 42 left to play in the fourth quarter.
29:32And George will take this at the four-yard line.
29:34It's up to the 20, now the 25, wrapped up and throw down.
29:41Got to be careful with that.
29:46Isaiah Stalberg, number 44, was there for the Saints.
29:53He's doing his best WWE Super Slam impression.
29:57He's lucky that doesn't get flagged when you pick people up off their feet and slam them on their back.
30:02That is something that has been flagged as unsportsmanlike over the last few years.
30:07Stay tuned for the NFL Today update delivered by Little Caesars.
30:10Time permitting, there's a lot going on in the National Football League.
30:13The first Sunday of the regular season.
30:18Well, Ross, we know you've got to run the ball on offense.
30:21You've got to stop the run.
30:23You've got to use your timeouts immediately if you're Kellen Moore.
30:26Well, this is why you pay James Conner, and it's a luxury to have a quarterback that can run like Kyler Murray.
30:31He gets in the backfield as the fullback.
30:33They give it to Conner, and Conner goes up to the 29-yard line.
30:37Werner with the tackle, and timeout is called by the Saints.
30:41Let's check in quickly with Adam in New York.
30:43Tom, a reminder for you.
30:51Can't wait for this one.
30:52425 Eastern.
30:53Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions taking on.
30:56Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.
30:59Lambeau Field, CBS.
31:01Can't wait for it.
31:03Yeah, Jordan Love said that he is fully healed from last year, so he's healthy going in.
31:08And Goff put up some amazing numbers last year.
31:12I mean, I'm going to be watching that on Paramount Plus on the way to the airport.
31:16I can't wait to see what number one Micah Parsons does for the Packers in that game.
31:21How about that NFC North division in total?
31:23It's going to be great.
31:24All the teams look really good this year.
31:26Second down and seven.
31:28After the timeout, Saints are down a long timeout.
31:32Murray off the play fake.
31:33He'll dump it off on the outside.
31:35He's got his tight end, Higgins, and Higgins makes one-man miss.
31:38Oh, he went down.
31:39Blackman was there to make the tackle.
31:41Unfortunately, he was able to hold on.
31:45Arizona throws the ball there, and that's going to be a big question on why.
31:48But, Ross, I'm a fan of if the box is loaded, give me a safe pass play to get the yards.
31:54Right?
31:54I know you don't want the incomplete pass to stop the clock, but I'm okay with Arizona trying to throw the ball there.
32:00Totally agree.
32:01As long as it's safe and you make sure you get the completion, this could be the ball game.
32:04Arizona gets a first down here on third down.
32:08This game is over.
32:10Saints out of timeouts.
32:12This is what it comes down to.
32:14If you're the Saints or a Saints fan, you have to be scared to death about Kyler Murray's legs in these situations.
32:21It seems like he's always just quick enough to get the yardage he needs.
32:25By the way, McBride and Harrison are both on the same side up top.
32:29Do you put the ball in Kyler Murray's hands that closes out, or do you put it in James Connors' hands?
32:37Harrison now lines up in a bunch formation with the play clock down to three.
32:41Taylor's showing blitz.
32:42Here he comes.
32:42And Taylor's got him!
32:45Elante Taylor just sacked Kyler Murray.
32:51And hang on, there's 2-12 left to play in this ball game.
32:55Absolutely love the aggressive play call from Saints defensive coordinator Brandon Staley
33:04to bring Taylor off the edge and not let Murray just be able to have the time to throw the ball or run.
33:12There's Taylor.
33:13He sacks him.
33:14That'll take us to the two-minute warning.
33:18Breaks up!
33:19We're trapped by dishes.
33:20Don't worry.
33:21And by State Farm.
33:24Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
33:30As long as this punt gets off cleanly,
33:33then Kyler Murray will watch whether Spencer Rattler is able to bring the Saints from behind down seven.
33:39Saints have won six straight openers.
33:41You've got the youngest head coach quarterback combo in the National Football League
33:46and Kellen Moore and Spencer Rattler that are bringing this game to its balance in the last two minutes.
33:58Shahid from the 31-yard line.
34:03And he gets up to the 42-yard line.
34:05Hey, that's a pretty good field position to start this drive.
34:07So you're telling me there's a chance.
34:10Spencer Rattler, here you go.
34:12You earned the opportunity in camp.
34:14You played consistent.
34:17You had a great drive in the preseason in a similar situation.
34:21You got the longest active win streaks for home openers or for openers in the NFL at six.
34:27And Kellen Moore is giving you a chance to lead this offense with no timeouts
34:30against one of the most confusing defenses in the NFL.
34:35No timeouts, but a minute 49 for only 57 yards is still an eternity.
34:40And Kamara steps into the backfield.
34:43And Rattler drops back to pass.
34:45Throws to the middle.
34:45Pass complete.
34:46Oh, Rame hangs on.
34:48And he's inside Cardinals territory.
34:52And you've got to get on the ball.
34:54Spencer Rattler was doing his last drive.
34:56Finding those little spots down the field.
34:5810, 15 yards.
34:59The Cardinals do not want to give that up.
35:01Whistle blows and they blow it dead.
35:03Are they making sure they have the right mark?
35:16Scott Novak is looking around.
35:19I mean, Gannon should be furious.
35:21This is like extra time.
35:22Previous rolling.
35:24Was a completed catch.
35:25Okay, so they were taking a look at it to make sure it was a completed catch.
35:30Well, it's under two minutes.
35:32So this is not something we're reviewing the play.
35:34Ruling on the field was a completed catch.
35:37All right, let's take a look.
35:42He has it, doesn't he?
35:43He's wrapped up.
35:45I guess they're just making sure.
35:46Again, under two minutes, it's out of the hands of the referee and his crew down on the field.
35:51So, they'll pop the headphones on, take a look with everybody else.
35:59This should be super quick unless there's some other angle that we didn't see.
36:08See, breaks free there.
36:09He's got it.
36:11I mean, I would almost argue it's a football move.
36:12He's standing on both his feet when he has the ball.
36:15And then he kind of falls backwards.
36:17I think maybe the Cardinals and Gannon were pushing for this
36:20because they thought it might have squirted out at the bottom.
36:23All right, Gene Sterritore is taking a look at this.
36:25What do you think, Gene?
36:25Do you think this is clean?
36:26I'm with you guys on it, Tommy.
36:27You know what?
36:28I think it's just a clean catch.
36:29He's bobbling a little, but I don't think right now that we see here on the replay,
36:34he's securing that, going to the ground.
36:36I don't see that football bouncing in the back end there.
36:39I think you stay with catch on the play.
36:40All right, here's Scott Novak.
36:41After reviewing the play, the receiver, when he was coming to the ground,
36:45never controlled the ball and hit the ground.
36:47That's incomplete.
36:47Wow, that is shocking, I think.
36:51You hear the crowd noise here.
36:54Yeah, Gene, yeah, I know you heard the crowd noise.
36:55You heard Scott Novak.
36:56So they see something totally different.
36:59It looked like he had it the whole way.
37:02Yeah, I agree with you, Tommy.
37:03I just didn't see a real bounce there, a separation from the player.
37:06Now, they have a lot of multiple angles there that they're looking at,
37:09but the things that we looked at there,
37:11I don't think you can overturn that to an incompletion.
37:14All right, Gene.
37:14Indisputable evidence.
37:15Thank you, buddy.
37:15We appreciate it.
37:17So first down from the 42-yard line.
37:20It's a second down.
37:22Marker didn't change.
37:23Rattner stumbles.
37:24He's going to run it.
37:27And he gets close to the first down.
37:29Marker a yard away.
37:30By the way, it necessarily was not indisputable visual evidence
37:34because none of us agreed with him.
37:35So it can't be indisputable.
37:36We were all disputing.
37:37We were clearly disputing.
37:40Third down and one.
37:41Ready to set.
37:42Clock winds under a minute and a half to play.
37:45Cooks has got it and gets out of bounds.
37:47He was inbounds when he caught it, got to his feet, and got out of bounds.
37:51Time is not the issue right now.
37:55You're on the plus 50 with a minute 20 left.
37:57Spencer Rattler has been really poised these last two drives.
38:01Able to pick the first down here.
38:03Ross, we know the Cardinals do not want to let anything get over the top here.
38:08What do you think they need to do defensively to slow this down?
38:10Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they bring pressure at some point
38:12because they're getting to the stage now
38:14where they can't allow him to just keep throwing these underneath.
38:17Rattler from the gun underneath.
38:20He's got his tie-in, Johnson.
38:22Johnson curls down at the 38.
38:25Melton and Baker there to make the tackle,
38:27and this will take it under a minute
38:28or close to it before he snaps the football.
38:35Yeah, 102 as he snaps it.
38:37Kamara.
38:37Kamara makes a bad miss.
38:39He scrambles to his side.
38:43So if you're the Saints, you want to keep getting on the ball
38:45because also the Cardinals defensive line is gassed.
38:49And they spiked it, so it'll be second down.
38:51I don't love that decision right there to spike it.
38:54They had the Arizona D-line.
38:55Those guys couldn't even move,
38:57and now they can bring in wholesale changes,
39:00a whole new group of four.
39:02I understand that the clock was moving,
39:04but, man, you just call a quick play there, a quick out,
39:08and keep those guys on the field.
39:09And, Ross, I know you never played receiver or DB,
39:11but the receivers are gassed too.
39:13So you might want them on the ball to run another one,
39:16but they just ran three.
39:17They kind of need to be recharged as well.
39:18Oh, my gosh.
39:19Those guys are all shredded with six-packs.
39:21I don't care about them.
39:26On second down, pressure's coming.
39:28Rattler going toward the end zone.
39:30Incomplete.
39:31He overthrew Shahid.
39:33That was good coverage on the outside by Max Melton.
39:35We've been saying that all day.
39:36Max Melton has been playing lights out.
39:39They have not let the top,
39:41anything get above the top of the defense all day.
39:43They've done a really good job of that.
39:45He's been tested, and to your point, look at Calais.
39:49Pretty gassed there.
39:49Well, and not only that, you gave up a play.
39:52So now it's third and ten.
39:53Now you only have two plays to get these ten yards.
40:04Trips to the bottom of your screen.
40:05Here comes the pressure.
40:06Rattler to the middle.
40:07Pass is complete to Alave.
40:09And he's going to be marked out at the 24-yard line.
40:12This is going to be a tight spot.
40:14You can't spike it here.
40:15You can't spike it.
40:15Nope.
40:16You've got to run a play.
40:1830 seconds and counting to play.
40:20You've got to think quick route.
40:22Rattler.
40:23Pass complete.
40:24He's got the first down.
40:25Inside the 20.
40:27Now you can spike it.
40:28Now you've got to clock it here.
40:34And there you go.
40:3613 seconds left to play.
40:38It'll be second down and ten.
40:40How many shots does he get?
40:41At least two to the end zone.
40:44At least two.
40:45Maybe three depending how quick it is.
40:47But you should have at least two good shots.
40:50And do you start going now?
40:52Or how do you work this?
40:54If you throw the ball inbounds tackled, then the next play may be your last.
40:58Right.
40:58So you really want to throw all these shots to the end zone here.
41:02The Cardinals don't want them to get out of bounds.
41:04But you also got to protect that end zone.
41:05It's a tough spot for a defensive back.
41:07Olave stretched out to the far side.
41:10Shahid at the bottom of your screen.
41:11And you'll see the press coverage across the board with the three safeties deep.
41:15Rattler going toward the end zone.
41:17Incomplete.
41:18Johnson sliding down.
41:20Couldn't hang on.
41:22So there's nine seconds.
41:24So they still have time for two more plays.
41:27It's third down.
41:28That's kind of irrelevant at this point.
41:30If you're the Cardinals, it's nothing in the end zone and nothing out of bounds.
41:35If they catch it in the field of play at this point and get tackled, it's over.
41:38The game's essentially over.
41:39Correct.
41:39So here come the Saints.
41:44And the Cardinals will have these three back here protecting that end zone.
41:47Everyone else in press coverage to not let up any easy catches.
41:52Kamara's in the slot.
41:53The bottom of your screen.
41:54Rattler to the end zone.
41:55Caughts.
41:56And then drops.
41:58Oh, my gosh.
41:59He had it.
41:59And then he went to the ground.
42:01Buda Baker ripped it out.
42:05What a beautiful ball by Spencer Rattler.
42:08The ball of his life.
42:10Jawan Johnson had it in his hands.
42:12Look at the placement, Ross.
42:13You asked for that.
42:15Back shoulder as he's coming down.
42:17Buda, of course, finishes to the ground in Jalen Thompson.
42:21And he's just not able to secure the catch.
42:23Well, now it comes down to this play.
42:25One last play with four seconds left.
42:29The Saints are down by seven.
42:31I would not be surprised if Jawan Johnson runs the same exact route.
42:34Here's Rattler out of the gun.
42:36The 24-year-old looking to the end zone.
42:37Looking for Olave.
42:38And he overthrows him.
42:41It is incomplete.
42:42The ball game is over.
42:44And the Cardinals hang on and win it by a final score of 20-13.
42:49What a finish.
42:53That throw by Rattler, that's going to go a long way for him with that locker room.
42:59That was a perfect throw to play before by Spencer Rattler.
43:03This time, they didn't even give him a chance.
43:04And that's the worst part about that play, though.
43:07I wish that was a last play.
43:08Yeah.
43:08Because you've got to give your receiver a chance on fourth and game.
43:12As good as third down was, that's how bad fourth down was right there by Spencer Rattler.
43:17Time to go to James Brown and get used to it.
43:20This is what life of the game is.
