00:00:00Now we have 2nd and 3.
00:00:05Look over there! Look over there!
00:00:07Look over there!
00:00:09They keep it on the ground.
00:00:13And that one goes for about 8 yards.
00:00:168-yard change on the run.
00:00:30Now we have 1st and 10.
00:00:51They go with the ground game.
00:00:54Gain of 5 yards on the play.
00:00:57The defense absorbed the blows on that play, Dick.
00:00:59In this league, if you're on your heels, you're going to get hammered.
00:01:02You're right, Dan.
00:01:04The defenders stood up.
00:01:05The offensive line blew them back.
00:01:08Kipna reads the defense here on 2nd down.
00:01:16Throws it.
00:01:18Dugans hauls it in.
00:01:20And he gets tackled, but makes the 1st down.
00:01:24Got the first!
00:01:26Dillon is on the field.
00:01:36Hut, hut!
00:01:41The pass is complete.
00:01:46And that one goes for about 10 yards.
00:01:49The Bengals start this play from the 31.
00:02:03They'll run out of the shotgun.
00:02:05They keep it on the ground.
00:02:08Four yards on the carry.
00:02:12This defense is getting hammered up front.
00:02:14Got to find a way to stop the run or they're going to be in a lot of trouble.
00:02:17You're right.
00:02:18You simply can't afford to give up that many yards on the ground.
00:02:25Kipna back to pass on 2nd.
00:02:37Dougans, pulls it in.
00:02:40Kepner back to pass on second.
00:02:50Dugans pulls it in.
00:02:53And he's taken down, but after he gets the first.
00:03:10It's now first and ten.
00:03:24We're here in the second quarter.
00:03:28Kepner going to the air.
00:03:32Johnson can't get to the long pass.
00:03:36Now that's a result of good scouting, Dug.
00:03:38The defender knew the down and distance and anticipated the route.
00:03:41Great job.
00:03:42Yeah, Dan, it just goes to show that all that preparation during the week pays off on game day.
00:03:48Dillon in the game.
00:03:54They go with the ground game.
00:03:56He got past the line of scrimmage, but barely.
00:04:00You know, in this league, the yards between the tackles are always well earned.
00:04:03He got a couple, but not much.
00:04:04Yeah, but he paid for those yards with a few big bruises, Dan.
00:04:11Now we have third and eight.
00:04:13Thirty-five!
00:04:15Hut, hut!
00:04:16Hut, hut!
00:04:17Kepner drops to throw.
00:04:21Incomplete pass.
00:04:24Chad Johnson, the intended receiver.
00:04:27Number five.
00:04:34The Bengals set up for the field goal.
00:04:42The kick is on its way.
00:04:46It's up and he splits the goal post.
00:04:49Good!
00:04:51It's good.

00:05:30Touchback.
00:05:31They'll start from the 20-yard line.
00:05:39George, in the backfield.
00:05:49McNair goes to the air on first.
00:05:52The pass is complete to the running back.
00:05:56Quarterback should have just thrown that one away.
00:05:57The defender was all over him.
00:05:59McNair to go to work from the shotgun.
00:06:13He's looking downfield.
00:06:17Mason makes the grab.
00:06:19And he's tackled after the first down pickup.
00:06:22George, in the backfield.
00:06:34He wants the ball.
00:06:39McNair to pass on first down.
00:06:42And the pass to the wideout falls incomplete.
00:06:45The intended receiver.
00:07:04George hard into the line.
00:07:07Run good for 10 yards.
00:07:09On the tackle.
00:07:15It's now first and 10.
00:07:27Eddie George to the outside.
00:07:32And he's tackled near the 50.
00:07:34That'll bring up second down.
00:07:35On the bus.
00:07:36Now we have second and 11.
00:07:56Hardy credited with a sack.
00:07:59Now that's the type of play that makes a quarterback a little anxious the next time he drops back to pass.
00:08:04Look out for those happy feet next pass play.
00:08:07And who could blame the quarterback for being a little hesitant next time he drops back?
00:08:12That was a big hit.
00:08:31It's now third and 14.
00:08:33We're here in the second quarter.
00:08:38McNair back to pass.
00:08:40He looks deep.
00:08:43Incomplete pass to the wide receiver.
00:08:45The defender definitely got the best of him there.
00:08:47Receiver couldn't get any separation whatsoever.
00:08:58Tennessee will punt it away.
00:09:00The snap on target.
00:09:05Hunter kicks it away.
00:09:07It's high and long.
00:09:08And the return man picks it up around the 10.
00:09:11Six yards on the return.
00:09:13We'll see if the defense brings the heat here.
00:09:16If they can stop them on this set of downs, they'll put their offense in great shape.
00:09:19It's now first and 10.
00:09:30They keep it on the ground.
00:09:35And he's tackled at the 20.
00:09:37That'll bring up second and short.
00:09:39Dylan thought he saw a crease, but the pursuit caught up with him before he could squeeze through.
00:09:51It's now second and seven.
00:09:53Kipman looking downfield.
00:10:01Dylan pulls it in.
00:10:03The Bengals go with double tight ends.
00:10:18Ball on their own, 29.
00:10:22They go with the ground game.
00:10:24He's across the 30.
00:10:26And he's tackled near the 30.
00:10:28That'll bring up second and long.
00:10:41It's now second and eight.
00:10:50Kipman lets it fly.
00:10:52The pass is complete.
00:10:54Carter takes him down.
00:10:58Now we have first and 10.
00:11:15Kipman looking to throw.
00:11:20And the quarterback can't get away.
00:11:23Sacked.
00:11:23Get the sack.
00:11:28Try again, rookie.
00:11:5548.
00:11:56Kipman releases.
00:12:05Johnson makes the catch.
00:12:13Kipman throws to the middle.
00:12:16Pass complete.
00:12:17Timeout is called by the offense.
00:12:19That's their first timeout.
00:12:21Now we have first and 10.
00:12:35Kipman releases it.
00:12:37Pass ball is incomplete.
00:12:40No separation there, Dick.
00:12:41The defender anticipated the route and jumped it.
00:12:43Great coverage.
00:12:44That's right, Dan.
00:12:45Man, it looked like he expected him to run that route in that situation.
00:12:51Dillon is on the field.
00:12:58Kipman to throw on second.
00:13:02Pass is complete.
00:13:05And he's tackled near the 35.
00:13:08That'll bring up third down.
00:13:14The Bengals go with split backs.
00:13:17They're just inside the 35-yard line.
00:13:21Hut, hut.
00:13:22Kipman to the air on third down.
00:13:25Dyson intercepts an ill-advised pass.
00:13:28You know, the quarterback knows that was his fault, Dick.
00:13:31You can only tempt fate so often before it catches up to you.
00:13:34On the interception return.
00:13:58They're just running a damn turret.
00:14:01No, you can't stop.
00:14:02Okay.
00:14:02I'm so sorry.
00:14:03At that point, I'm not���
00:14:18against the staff.
00:14:19I see a surprise though.
00:14:20Come on, Cubby.
00:14:21Come on.
00:14:22I'll try.
00:14:23I poo.
00:14:24I was perfect.
00:14:24What time is chilliin?
00:14:25That's what they've been doing.
00:14:26Unfortunately, I'm notThese I've done with that.
00:14:27After a second.
00:14:28Good completion.
00:14:31And he's tackled near the 30.
00:14:33That'll bring up second down.
00:14:41Now we have second and three.
00:14:47McNair back to throw.
00:14:50The pass is complete.
00:14:5324 yards on the pass.
00:14:55George ready for the carry.
00:14:58McNair drops to throw on first.
00:15:01Mason pulls it in.
00:15:0414 yards on the play.
00:15:06On the reception.
00:15:12Wycheck comes down with it.
00:15:14And he's tackled after a first down pickup.
00:15:19McNair drops to throw.
00:15:23Touchdown!
00:15:25The coverage is there.
00:15:26He just fought through it for the touchdown catch.
00:15:28He just went for it.
00:15:55Yes!
00:15:55Joe Nedney to attempt the P.A.T.
00:16:06So the extra point is good.
00:16:12And that touchdown deadlocks the score.
00:16:25Nedney kicks it off.
00:16:36They'll put it in play at the 20.
00:16:38All of you come out to the 20-yard line.
00:16:503.35!
00:16:52Hut, hut!
00:16:54Hut, hut!
00:16:55They keep it on the ground.
00:16:59Five yards on the carry.
00:17:00That was a big interception on the last drive.
00:17:03Quarterback's got to put it behind him and try to get those points back.
00:17:06That's easier said than done, Nedney.
00:17:08He knows he cost his team with that interception.
00:17:10It's going to rattle him a little bit.
00:17:11It's now second and four.
00:17:20It's now second and four.
00:17:33Dillon trying it outside.
00:17:38Passed the 25.
00:17:40And he manages about two on that run.
00:17:42Two are gained on the carry.
00:17:44Now we have third and two.
00:17:57Dillon trying it out.
00:17:58Kipna, with good protection.
00:18:04Incomplete, that pass intended for the wide receiver.
00:18:07Bengals in punt formation.
00:18:18Cincinnati will kick it away.
00:18:20It's a good snap.
00:18:26The punter gets it off.
00:18:28It's too good.
00:18:29And the return man picks it up around the 35.
00:18:31Touchdown, Titans.
00:18:41As quick as that.
00:18:42Six points are on the board.
00:18:44Wow.
00:18:44Wow.
00:18:44Wow.
00:18:45Wow.
00:18:46Wow.
00:18:47Wow.
00:18:48Wow.

00:19:09Wow.
00:19:10Wow.
00:19:11Wow.
00:19:12Wow.
00:19:13Nedney will try to tack on the extra point.
00:19:33Hut, hut!
00:19:37Right down the middle, good.
00:19:39Point after is good.
00:19:41So at the halfway mark, it's the Titans, 52, the Bengals, 45.
00:19:53Let's take a look back at one of the more important plays in the first half.
00:19:57What happened on this play, Ian?
00:19:59This was a key play in the second quarter.
00:20:02Here we see the defense is a little bit tentative in their coverage,
00:20:05and this gives the receiver enough room to operate and get open for the touchdown.
00:21:41Thanks, Dick.
00:21:44I spoke with Coach Lewis about their first-half efforts.
00:21:47He didn't like how the defense played in the first half,
00:21:50but he believes things will improve for his team.
00:21:52Back to you, Dick.
00:21:53Thank you, Lonnie.
00:21:54What other aspects of the game might they look at, Ian?
00:21:57I agree with what the coach said, Dick.
00:21:59It's all about big plays, and this defense has given up far too many of them so far.
00:22:103-48!
00:22:12Watch the pass!
00:22:12Watch the pass!
00:22:13The pass is caught, and he gets tackled, but makes the first down.
00:22:23There we go!
00:22:254-48!
00:22:364-48!
00:22:36Hut!
00:22:38Hut, hut!
00:22:40Hut!
00:22:40Corey Dillon to the outside.
00:22:43He's across the 35.
00:22:45And he's tackled near the 35.
00:22:48That'll bring up second and short.
00:23:00It's now second and six.
00:23:02We're here in the third quarter.
00:23:04Here we go!
00:23:06Corey Dillon trying it outside.
00:23:10And that one goes for about a yard.
00:23:13With the tackle.
00:23:15We take a look now at how many rushing yards this running back has in the game.
00:23:21Hut!
00:23:22Get on it!
00:23:23Get on it!
00:23:24Get on it!
00:23:24Get on it!
00:23:25Get on it!
00:23:28Right!
00:23:29Run!
00:23:31Hut!
00:23:32Kepna, back to throw.
00:23:34On third down.
00:23:35Complete to the wideout.
00:23:37And that'll be enough for the first down.
00:23:49The Bengals start this play from the 48.
00:23:52They line up in shotgun formation.
00:23:55They go with the ground game.
00:23:59Game of two yards on the play.
00:24:01Hey, it wasn't spectacular,
00:24:03but those offensive coaches will take every single yard they can get.
00:24:06Decent job.
00:24:07You're right, Dan,
00:24:08but I'm sure they'd like a little more out of the running game if they can get it.
00:24:13The Bengals fall a power formation with two tight ends now.
00:24:17This will be the fifth play of the current drive.
00:24:20Corey Dillon to the outside.
00:24:23Loses it.
00:24:24The defense picks up the loose ball.
00:24:26He could score.
00:24:2720!
00:24:2920!
00:24:31He crosses the 10.
00:24:33Touchdown!
00:24:36Touchdown, Tennessee!
00:24:37Let's see.
00:25:07Let's see.
00:25:11Joe Nedney to attempt the point after.
00:25:13Nedney readies for the point after.
00:25:21And the extra point is good.
00:25:27The Titans with an even bigger lead now because of that touchdown.
00:25:31Nedney kicks this one off.
00:25:4922 yards on the return.
00:25:59Kepna reads the defense on first down.
00:26:15Corey Dillon trying it outside.
00:26:18Stiff arms.
00:26:21Run good for 14 yards.
00:26:25Oh yeah!
00:26:27And what in.
00:26:39Now we have 1st and 10.
00:27:02Kephna back to pass.
00:27:04Releases.
00:27:06Dillon makes the grab.
00:27:08And he's taken down, but after he gets the first.
00:27:38Kephna winds up in the shotgun.
00:27:46He's going to the air.
00:27:48He tries to buy a little time.
00:27:50And the quarterback can't get away.
00:27:54Set.
00:27:543.
00:27:552.
00:27:562.
00:27:573.
00:27:582.
00:28:297-10, 15. We're here in the third quarter.
00:28:33Corey Dillon to the outside.
00:28:38Five yards on the carry.
00:28:40When the offensive line can work cohesively as a group, that's the kind of play you're going to see.
00:28:44Well done.
00:28:45Yeah, Dan, they just moved out the defense on that play.
00:28:59It's now third and ten.
00:29:13They can't stay here. Push them back.
00:29:16Go, give them a dance.
00:29:17Johnson can't bring it in on that sideline pass.
00:29:26The intended receiver.
00:29:28Yeah! You got another.
00:29:35Bengals in punt formation.
00:29:38Cincinnati lines up in punt formation.
00:29:43It's a perfect spin.
00:29:46Putter kicks it.
00:29:47It's a high punt.
00:29:49And the return man starts around the 15.
00:29:51Five yards on the return.
00:29:54Derek Mason with the punt return.
00:29:56McNair fires.
00:30:12Wycheck pulls it in.
00:30:14Great job taking advantage of the tight end there.
00:30:17Always a tough mismatch in the passing game.
00:30:19You bet.
00:30:20That play was certainly evidence of that.
00:30:22Now we have first and ten.
00:30:33Eddie George trying it outside.
00:30:37And he's tackled at the 33.
00:30:39That'll bring up second and long.
00:30:41George tried to find some daylight, but the defense had some other ideas.
00:30:45Good penetration there.
00:30:46Yeah, Dan, the defenders were in the backfield before the bat knew what hit him.
00:30:50It's now second and ten.
00:31:01McNair looking for the big yardage.
00:31:04Mason with the grab.
00:31:07And the completion will get them the first.
00:31:09They keep it on the ground.
00:31:31And he manages about four on that run.
00:31:34Nice job.
00:31:34Now we have second and five.
00:31:52They go with the ground game.
00:31:55George gets the yardage, but the real story in that play was the men up front.
00:32:00They absolutely hammered the front seven of the defense.
00:32:03Yeah, it looked like the defense was on roller skates there.
00:32:09McNair steps to the line for this third down play.
00:32:13Hut.
00:32:15Hut, hut.
00:32:18Complete.
00:32:19Six yards on the pass.
00:32:21The game is often decided by which team is most efficient on third down.
00:32:25Good job by the offense getting the first.
00:32:27Yeah, they saw a hole in the defense and exploited it.
00:32:30It's what offensive football is all about.
00:32:33Now we have first and ten.
00:32:39Eddie George receives the ball here.
00:32:42George brought down after a nice game.
00:32:45Great push up front by the big fellas there.
00:32:48They got up under the defenders and drove them out of the hole.
00:32:51Absolutely, Dan.
00:32:52It looked like the defensive line stood up right at the snap.
00:32:55And the offensive lineman just drove them out of the hole.
00:32:58Hey, 35.
00:33:00Hut, hut.
00:33:02Hut, hut.
00:33:04Hut.
00:33:05McNair looking to throw.
00:33:07Complete to the middle of the field.
00:33:09And he was brought down, but he made the first down.
00:33:12Number 21.
00:33:12Number 21.
00:33:12The Titans go with split backs.
00:33:41This drive now in its eighth play.
00:33:44Hut, hut.
00:33:45They keep it on the ground.
00:33:49And he's tackled near the five.
00:33:51That'll bring up second down.
00:34:03The Titans have now put together a nine-play drive.
00:34:08Hut, hut.
00:34:09Keep your eye open.
00:34:10Hut.
00:34:10George burls into the line.
00:34:14And he manages about one on that run.
00:34:17George hesitated for just a minute, it looked like.
00:34:20And if you hesitate in this league, you're not going to get much.
00:34:28George in the backfield.
00:34:30Hut.
00:34:30Hut.
00:34:30Hut.

00:35:01Hut.
00:35:02Hut.
00:35:03Joe Nedney, Nedney to try the extra point.
00:35:24He attacks on the extra point.
00:35:27The point after is good.
00:35:33Nedney kicks it off.
00:35:52Touchback.
00:35:53They'll start from the 20-yard line.
00:35:55Come out to the 20-yard line.
00:36:00It's now first and ten.
00:36:06We're here in the third quarter.
00:36:08Kipna with plenty of time.
00:36:14Ball caught on the sideline.
00:36:16Another guard on the pass completion.
00:36:28Now we have first and ten.
00:36:34Dillon to the outside.
00:36:40And that'll set up a second down.
00:36:43Some guys have that burst.
00:36:44The closing speed to absolutely explode through the tackle.
00:36:47He's one of those guys.
00:36:49Yeah, and that play was a clear demonstration.
00:36:54Cincinnati from their own 32.
00:36:57Second down and ten.
00:37:03Kipna releases.
00:37:05Pass complete.
00:37:07And that'll be enough for the first.
00:37:10So far he's been on in the passing game.
00:37:12An accurate passer is such a lethal weapon in this league.
00:37:15Yeah, the secondary has been at a loss to find an answer for him.
00:37:20Now we have first and ten.
00:37:23They go with the ground game.
00:37:29Williams in on the tackle.
00:37:32You know, they might have to start blitzing up the middle.
00:37:34Because that defense looks a little light in there right now.
00:37:37I agree.
00:37:38The offensive line is just moving them at will.
00:37:46Kipna checks the defense on second down.
00:37:49Flush from the pocket.
00:37:55And he is sacked.
00:37:58A sack absolutely kills a quarterback's confidence.
00:38:01Instead of thinking about his reads downfield,
00:38:04now he's wondering if he's going to wind up on his can.
00:38:07Yeah, and if his eyes are on the rush,
00:38:09he's going to have trouble finding an open man.
00:38:19The Bengals go with the eye formation.
00:38:35They're just outside the 45 yard line.
00:38:38Kipna looking downfield.
00:38:43Pass is complete.
00:38:45And he's tackled after a first down pickup.
00:38:49Here we go!
00:38:59Now we have first and ten.
00:39:06Dillon trying it outside.
00:39:08Pass the 25.
00:39:10Six yards on the carry.
00:39:12Running the football is pretty simple, Dick.
00:39:14You put a man on a man and let the back do his job.
00:39:17Nice play.
00:39:18Well, it sure looked easy there, I'll tell you that.
00:39:35Incomplete.
00:39:37The quarterback and wideout can't connect.
00:39:39Take it from somebody who's been there.
00:39:41It's tough to complete a pass when you're under that kind of pressure.
00:39:43You're right.
00:39:44He had to rush to throw that football.
00:39:46And it showed.
00:39:51The Titans want to hold here on third and three.
00:39:54They'll go with four down linemen.
00:40:00Kipna tries to buy a little time.
00:40:02The pass is complete.
00:40:03The pass is complete.
00:40:04Roll makes the hit.
00:40:05The defense is measured on how well they stop teams on third down.
00:40:10They couldn't get it done there.
00:40:11No, they couldn't, Dan, but they've got another chance to stop them here.
00:40:15The Bengals now moving with the ninth play of the drive.
00:40:16Kipna drops back on first down.
00:40:18The pass is caught.
00:40:19The pass is caught.
00:40:20And that one goes for about four yards.
00:40:21Complete.
00:40:22The number 81.
00:40:23The pass is complete.
00:40:24Complete.
00:40:25The number 81.

00:40:34levar.
00:40:35cut.
00:40:38Gol.
00:40:39Need for fentanyl.
00:40:40The pass is complete.
00:40:43The pass is complete.
00:40:44The pass is complete.
00:40:46New.
00:40:48Three.
00:40:49This is complete.
00:40:50Can you play?
00:40:51multiplayer?
00:40:53No, three.
00:40:54One.
00:40:55Get here.
00:40:56The pass is complete.
00:40:57A mole.
00:40:58She's сделали the pass.
00:40:59Kipna looks to pass on second down and the pass intended for the tight end falls incomplete
00:41:12Kipna goes to work on third down
00:41:26he drops to throw and the pass to the tight end falls incomplete
00:41:36Cincinnati going for three here field goal team on the field
00:41:50the kick is on its way splitting the uprights it's good
00:42:0020 yards field goal is good
00:42:20Wreckers kicks it off
00:42:22he crosses the 15
00:42:2924 yards on the return
00:42:33now we have first and 10
00:42:44Mcnair with a pass to the sideline
00:42:54makes the cap
00:42:56Bennett settled down in the open area and the quarterback found him for the nice game
00:43:00fundamental football right there
00:43:01you're right Dan it doesn't matter what level you're at
00:43:04fundamentals are always crucial
00:43:07it's now first and 10
00:43:28George full forward
00:43:36Burris with a nice tackle
00:43:39a great player
00:43:40what do you think Ian?
00:43:41you know I saw Eddie George on the field before the game
00:43:44and this guy is an absolute monster
00:43:46he can take on any defender in this league
00:43:49Mcnair releases
00:44:18over the middle
00:44:19complete
00:44:20and he's tackled
00:44:23after the first down pickup
00:44:25I don't know how he did it
00:44:52but somehow the quarterback managed to squeeze it in there for a nice game
00:44:56it doesn't matter how he did it
00:44:58it just matters that it got done
00:45:00nice play
00:45:01high
00:45:31the 25 and he's tackled at the 25 that'll bring up second and short
00:46:01George deep in the backfield
00:46:18the pass pulled in by the light out seven yards on the pass
00:46:29questionable read at best there but the receiver made him look good fighting
00:46:33off the defender for the catch a receiver that can bail you out like that
00:46:37is simply invaluable but I guess I don't have to tell you that
00:46:41Mcnair looks long touchdown
00:46:52sometimes you just take a deep shot to loosen up the defense
00:46:56that time they caught them napping
00:47:03Joe Nedney
00:47:10Nedney sets up for the extra point try
00:47:18and the extra point is good the Titans with more breathing room after that touchdown
00:47:25the Titans with more breathing room after that touchdown
00:47:32Nedney kicks this one
00:47:39the kick is sailing toward the endzone
00:47:4626 yards on the return with the kick return
00:47:53with the
00:48:00the
00:48:02the Bengals go with split backs ball on their own 22
00:48:09they keep it on the ground
00:48:16he hammers the defender
00:48:18and he gets tackled but makes the first down
00:48:25and he gets tackled but makes the first down
00:48:33Cincinnati from their own 40
00:48:52first down and 10
00:48:59Kipna drops the throw
00:49:01complete
00:49:03runs down the sidelines
00:49:05and he's tackled at midfield
00:49:07that'll bring up second down
00:49:14Corey Dillon
00:49:26kicks the ball on the exchange
00:49:28and that one goes for about four yards
00:49:30the line did a good job of springing the running back there
00:49:33with a hole that big he couldn't help but make good yardage
00:49:37yeah Dan I think the guy selling hot dogs
00:49:39could have made it through that hole
00:49:41it's now first and 10
00:49:44we're here in the third quarter
00:49:47he finds his mark
00:49:54every 25
00:49:59the tackle
00:50:018
00:50:08Here we go, here we go!
00:50:32They go with the ground game.
00:50:34And that will set up a second down.
00:50:38Wow!
00:50:39I could have run through that hole.
00:50:41The offensive line just gashed the defense.
00:50:43Yeah, that's the kind of hole that running backs dream about.
00:50:47Great blocking.
00:50:51Now we have second and six.
00:51:00Kipna lets it fly.
00:51:02Schoble pulls it in.
00:51:04Nice to see the tight ends involved in the passing game.
00:51:07Often a defense just forgets about the big guys.
00:51:10You're right, Dan.
00:51:11The offensive coordinator is doing a nice job spreading the ball around.
00:51:16Kipna from the shotgun.
00:51:18Hutt!
00:51:19Hutt!
00:51:20Hutt!
00:51:21Hutt!
00:51:22Hutt!
00:51:23Hutt!
00:51:24Dillon into the teeth of the defense.
00:51:27And that one goes for about four yards.
00:51:30Hutt!
00:51:34Cincinnati with double tight ends.
00:51:36Second and goal.
00:51:37Hutt!
00:51:41Hutt!
00:51:42Hutt!
00:51:43Hutt!
00:51:44Hutt!
00:51:45Hutt!
00:51:46they keep it on the ground he manages a couple there that was a well-designed play they just
00:51:56couldn't get a hat on everybody to spring them yes sometimes the defense just gets behind the
00:52:01blockers and there's nothing an offense can do Kipna will use the shotgun he goes back to pass
00:52:14incomplete pass to the wide receiver this is where big players be it a quarterback receiver
00:52:21or defensive back make big plays we'll see who comes up big here number five Cincinnati going
00:52:30for three here field goal team on the field the kick is up it's up and through the post good
00:52:44the records kicks it off it's a long high kick
00:53:0624 yards on the return with the kick return
00:53:15they go with the ground game
00:53:31game of two yards on the play I don't know why they're even trying to run outside the defensive
00:53:39pursuit is just too fast Dan you're on the money I think they should go with a reverse maybe even a
00:53:43counter slow them down a little bit it's pressure time the fourth quarter it's the Titans 73 the Bengals 51
00:53:5251 51
00:54:01but
00:54:04what
00:54:05McNair back to pass Mason makes the grab nice catch in traffic there dick the receiver was well covered but he still brought it in for the short game yeah it's not easy to bring in a ball when you've got someone draped all over your shoulder
00:54:19planet makes the catch and
00:54:36he was brought down but he made the first down
00:54:38Now we have 1st and 10.
00:54:57McNair, back to throw.
00:55:00Wycheck pulls it in.
00:55:02Wycheck had a defender draped all over him.
00:55:04That didn't stop him from making a nice catch there.
00:55:07Amazing how he could fight through the defender to make that catch, Dan.
00:55:14It's now 1st and 10.
00:55:24Pass completed to the sideline.
00:55:26The defender read the route well, but the quarterback threw it on time for the short pickup.
00:55:31Now that's what timing will do for you, Dan.
00:55:33If he threw that ball any later, it probably would have been picked.
00:55:37Put!
00:55:45McNair looks to throw on 2nd.
00:55:49Wycheck makes the catch.
00:55:5119 yards on the play.
00:55:53Number 21.
00:55:55There we go!
00:55:55It's now 1st and 10.
00:56:26We're here in the 4th quarter.
00:56:30They keep it on the ground.
00:56:33And he manages about 5 on that run.
00:56:36Arm the carry.
00:56:48It's now 2nd and 4.
00:56:49Run!
00:56:51Hut!
00:56:52Hut, hut!
00:56:54Hut, hut!
00:56:55Eddie George takes the handoff.
00:56:59That run will get them a 1st down.
00:57:02With the rush.
00:57:02Tennessee with double tight ends.
00:57:321st and goal.
00:57:331st and goal.
00:57:33Right side!
00:57:35Turn, turn, turn!
00:57:36Hut, hut!
00:57:40Touchdown Titans!
00:57:42The receiver simply refused to be denied.
00:57:45Great effort in traffic to make the touchdown catch.
00:57:47Joe Nedney to attempt the P.A.T.
00:58:02Joe Nedney to attempt the P.A.T.
00:58:16So the extra point is good.
00:58:28The Titans extend their lead with that touchdown.
00:58:31The Titans extend their lead with that touchdown.
00:58:35Nedney kicks it off.
00:58:5025 yards on the return.
00:59:01With the kick return.
00:59:02With the kick return.
00:59:06Hut!
00:59:07Hut!
00:59:08Hut!
00:59:08They go with the ground.
00:59:193, 2, 3, 2.
00:59:20And they recover it.
00:59:22That's not like him, Dick.
00:59:23He's got to be kicking himself for laying the ball on the turf.
00:59:26Yeah, but the play's over now.
00:59:28He's got to hope his defense can stop them here.
00:59:30It's now 2nd and 5.
00:59:57Corey Dillon to the outside.
01:00:00And that'll set up a 3rd down.
01:00:17It's now 3rd and 5.
01:00:20We're here in the 4th quarter.
01:00:23Kepna looking to throw.
01:00:26Complete to the running back.
01:00:274 yards on the pass.
01:00:31The receiver did a nice job getting open.
01:00:33But he's got to make sure he has enough for the 1st down before he breaks off his route.
01:00:374th down now.
01:00:38Yep.
01:00:39Mental lapse by the receiver brings up 4th down.
01:00:43Cincinnati decides to punt it away.
01:00:46The snap is good.
01:00:51The punter gets it off cleanly.
01:00:566 yards on the return.
01:00:58It's now 1st and 10.
01:01:103rd and 3rd.
01:01:12They keep it on the ground.
01:01:16He drops his shoulder.
01:01:19And he's finally dragged down near the 45.
01:01:22That'll set up 2nd and just a few.
01:01:245.
01:01:40Hit!
01:01:411-2-1-2-1-2-1-1-1-2-1-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1.
01:01:42Back to pass on 2nd.
01:01:45Incomplete over the middle.
01:01:48Mason.
01:01:49Intended for shooting.
01:01:51No escape, baby!
01:01:52It's now third and one.
01:02:18We're here in the fourth quarter.
01:02:22He lost the rock, but the offense had the presence of mind to jump on it before the defense
01:02:36could get there.
01:02:37Yeah, and that running back is breathing a big sigh of relief.
01:02:48Tennessee will punt it away.
01:03:05The snap on target.
01:03:10The punter gets it off, and the return man starts around the 20, four yards on the return.
01:03:17The Bengals will go with two tight ends now.
01:03:31They're just outside the 25-yard line.
01:03:35Corey Dillon trying it outside.
01:03:38Crosses the 25.
01:03:40And he's taken down near the 30.
01:03:42That'll set up second down.
01:03:54Now we have second and six.
01:03:59They go with the ground game.
01:04:02Lowers his shoulder.
01:04:0311 yards on the carry.
01:04:07Being a lineman can be thankless work, but I know the back realizes that play was made
01:04:11by the men up front.
01:04:13Great block.
01:04:13Fire.

01:04:51the pass is complete
01:04:53Williams stops him cold
01:04:56Dillon saved the quarterback's bacon on that play Dick
01:04:59he made the catch despite some very good coverage
01:05:02now we have second and three
01:05:10Corey Dillon bursts straight ahead
01:05:18gain of 11 yards on the play
01:05:22and quarter
01:05:40they keep it on the ground
01:05:58and he's tackled near the 40
01:06:02that'll bring up second and short
01:06:03defenses have a tendency to over pursue fullbacks
01:06:07allowing them to find creases for good gains
01:06:09that's a good example there
01:06:11yeah it looked like the defense overran the play
01:06:13and then he squeezed through for a good pickup
01:06:16they go with the ground gain
01:06:22and that one goes for about
01:06:29five yards
01:06:30with the tackle
01:06:31yeah
01:06:35yeah
01:06:43yeah
01:06:47yeah
01:06:53yeah
01:06:53Kepner goes with a five-wide set.
01:07:09Tries to buy a little time.
01:07:12Incomplete between the hashes.
01:07:14This offense hasn't come up with many big plays on third down in this game.
01:07:17Yeah, they need to start converting some of these third downs to get some confidence.
01:07:23It's now fourth and inches.
01:07:31Kepner back to pass.
01:07:34Incomplete that pass intended for the wide receiver.
01:07:38Tennessee will get the ball back on offense.
01:07:48It's now first and ten.
01:07:53George to the outside.
01:08:01And that will set up a second down.
01:08:04Mr. Curry.
01:08:05The Titans go with splitbacks.
01:08:18They're just outside the 30.
01:08:24McNair to throw on second.
01:08:27Pass complete.
01:08:30Burris wraps him up.
01:08:31Ten yards on the pass.
01:08:33Ten yards on the pass.
01:08:57Fight!
01:08:58It's now first and ten.
01:09:03We are here in the fourth quarter.
01:09:09McNair looking downfield.
01:09:12Number 20.
01:09:13Picks it.
01:09:14The quarterback shoulders the blame there.
01:09:17You can't throw in the coverage and expect to come out of it unscathed.
01:09:20No.
01:09:21We are here.
01:09:23No.
01:09:42Come on.
01:09:46We're here.
01:09:48Number 20.
01:09:48It's now 1st and 10.
01:10:13Kipna drops to throw.
01:10:15Oh, and the long ball falls incomplete.
01:10:21Boy, it's so assuring for a coach to know that he's got a defender like that in the defensive backfield.
01:10:26Great coverage.
01:10:32It's now 2nd and 10.
01:10:40Corey Dillon crashes straight ahead.
01:10:42Dillon picks up a nice chunk of yardage.
01:10:46With the carry.
01:10:48Worked too good, man.
01:10:59Cincinnati with double tight ends.
01:11:013rd down and 2.
01:11:04Corey Dillon trying it outside.
01:11:07And he's brought down after just a few.
01:11:13That'll bring out 4th in just a few.
01:11:15Nick Harris to do the punting.
01:11:25Cincinnati in punt formation.
01:11:30It's a perfect snap.
01:11:32The punter gets it off.
01:11:35It's a good punt.
01:11:36And the return man starts around the 10.
01:11:396 yards on the return.
01:11:41That is a gut-check part of the field for the offense.
01:11:44They're just thinking about a few first downs so they can win the game of field position.
01:11:51McNair with 3 wideouts.
01:11:53He's back to throw.
01:12:01Mason makes the catch.
01:12:04And he's tackled after a first down pickup.
01:12:06It's now 1st and 10.
01:12:36McNair going to the air.
01:12:48Oh, the deep ball doesn't connect.
01:12:51The defender looked like the receiver on that play, Dick.
01:12:54Breaking on the ball faster than the offensive man.
01:13:02It's now 2nd and 10.
01:13:041, 2, 3, 2, 3.
01:13:05Back up.
01:13:06Hut.
01:13:07Hut.
01:13:08Hut.
01:13:09Hut.
01:13:09Eddie George to the outside.
01:13:12George makes it wide.
01:13:14Rasa won on the play.
01:13:16The ball carrier's probably shaking his head.
01:13:19Probably a few butterflies slittering around inside the old melon after that hit.
01:13:23Butterflies, stars, clouds.
01:13:26He's seeing a little of everything after that collision.
01:13:28McNair tries to connect.
01:13:41Bennett pulls it in.
01:13:4417 yards on the pass.
01:13:47Now that's the kind of big 3rd down conversion that energizes an offense.
01:13:50You get another set of downs, a fresh chance to move the ball down the field.
01:13:54Yeah, we'll see if they can stay out of 3rd and long this time.
01:13:58It's now 1st and 10.
01:14:05McNair back to pass.
01:14:09Incomplete.
01:14:10The quarterback and wideout can't connect.
01:14:12Now look at some interception statistics.
01:14:15They need to stop the clock so they should burn a timeout here.
01:14:39You're right, Dan.
01:14:40But how about that play?
01:14:41Simply awesome.
01:14:42Awesome.
01:14:46McNair to go to work from the shotgun.
01:14:52He goes to the air on 1st.
01:14:54Mason pulls it in.
01:14:57And he's taken down, but after he gets the 1st.
01:15:00He goes to the air on 2st.
01:15:26McNair calling signals from the eye.
01:15:29Eddie George trying it outside
01:15:3315
01:15:35touchdown
01:15:37some bad pursuit angles
01:15:39by the defense on that play
01:15:41they got caught up inside and the back took it the distance
01:15:59Joe Nedney
01:16:11Nedney will try to tack on
01:16:14the extra point
01:16:15so the extra point is good
01:16:26the Titans now extend their lead
01:16:28as a result of that touchdown
01:16:30Nedney kicks this one off
01:16:48they'll put it in play at the 20
01:16:52Cincinnati

01:17:15it's now first and 10
01:17:45Kipna with a pass
01:17:51that pass ball is incomplete
01:17:54all it takes is one guy not executing
01:17:56and the play is over
01:17:57the receiver let his teammates down there
01:18:00now we have second and 10
01:18:09Kipna releases

01:19:00he's going to the air
01:19:05and the quarterback can't hit his tight end
01:19:10the receiver's got to do a better job
01:19:12the defender was never threatened deep
01:19:14and he was all over
01:19:15you're right Dan
01:19:16the defender never had to turn his hips
01:19:19good coverage

01:21:01they go with the ground game
01:21:07seven yards on the carry

01:27:00timeout
01:27:01Keith Adams. As a quarterback, you'd like a little more separation than that.
01:27:06But if the receiver can make that kind of catch, you throw it in there anyway.
01:27:09If you have a receiver that can make those kinds of catches, you throw it to him, regardless of the coverage.
01:27:18Kipna looking to throw.
01:27:21Dillon pulls it in.
01:27:23And he's tackled after the first down pickup.
01:27:26Now we have first and ten.
01:27:28Kipna going to the air.
01:27:30The wideout brings it in.
01:27:33And that'll be a pickup of seven.
01:27:35The Bengals start this play from the 47.
01:27:38They go five wide on this play.
01:27:41Kipna going over the middle.
01:27:43Dillon pulls it in.
01:27:45And he's tackled after a first down pickup.
01:27:51Kipna tries to buy a little time.
01:27:54Dugans the intended target down the sidelines.
01:27:58Wow, the defender was all over him there.
01:28:00The receiver never had a chance at the ball on that play.
01:28:03But it's his own fault, Dan.
01:28:04If he ran a better route, he might have been able to shake him.
01:28:07Kipna looks downfield on second down.
01:28:18The wideout snags it.
01:28:20That'll be their third and final timeout.
01:28:22The Bengals with double tight ends.
01:28:32They're just inside the 25-yard line.
01:28:35Kipna drops to throw.
01:28:39Incomplete.
01:28:40The quarterback and the tight end can't connect.
01:28:45And that'll do it.
01:28:46The final score is the Titans.
01:28:5094, the Bengals 58.
01:28:52Let's take a look at a play that changed the momentum in this game.
01:29:00Describe what happened on this play, Ian.
01:29:03Here's another look at the crucial turnover.
01:29:05It appears he never had a good handle on the ball.
01:29:07And the next thing you know, it's rolling on the turf.
01:29:10Alongside Dan Fouts, I'm Dick Enberg.
01:29:21So long!
01:29:40Thank you very much.
