Here's some commentary & reaction to the game between the San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts from Indianapolis, IN.
Transcript
00:00Capri has just been uncoverable so far in this game. A lot of offense there in that first half.
00:05San Francisco, who I did not think would be able to run the football, they haven't all year,
00:10and then against the number one run defense, just didn't expect what we've seen.
00:14On the other hand, I thought we would see more out of the Indianapolis Colts running the ball
00:17with Jonathan Taylor against his 49ers defense that has given up yards.
00:22All right, this is 49ers and the Colts.
00:28They're starting the third quarter.
00:4249ers have the ball.
00:52Colts are trailing 24-17.
00:55George, 93 yards tonight.
00:59And an 11-yard score earlier in the game.
01:02Here's McCaffrey on the ground.
01:03He's brought down with a one-yard pickup by Nick Cross.
01:06The interesting about it, Joe, is that this year,
01:10the 49ers have always, under Kyle Shanahan, been a big playoff offense,
01:14whether that's in the run game or in the passing game.
01:16This year, they have not.
01:18However, tonight, a lot of big plays,
01:21and that's why we've seen a couple of points on the board that they have.
01:24Second and nine, Robinson,
01:27tucked by Kenny Moore.
01:33And a gain of one, so third and long coming up, third and eight.
01:37Come on, defense.
01:39Well, the 49ers, they didn't face too many third downs during that first half,
01:44just three.
01:44But this becomes a big one for Indianapolis.
01:48Get a stop right now.
01:49You're giving up points on the drive.
02:07Bernie.
02:09Jennings.
02:11Big first stop for San Francisco.
02:13He's been quiet tonight, Jawan Jennings, but this one good for 21.
02:19Yeah, just really soft coverage here by Kenny Moore.
02:23And you can see, it's just not a whole lot to it.
02:26Jawan Jennings just simply runs it out route.
02:29It's like throwing it on air.
02:31Just not very good coverage by Moore coming up and challenging it.
02:35Phillip Rivers knows it.
02:36Second target for Jennings, his first catch.
02:43And Brock Carty has been precise all night long.
02:47He has to get around.
02:49He's chipped there.
02:51And they've found Kittle, another great throw.
02:54And Kittle hit in stride.
02:57Sets up the 49ers first and goal after a 22-yard catch.
03:01And he has a choice.
03:02What are we doing?
03:04What are we doing?
03:06We're just allowing these big plays.
03:09He's going to come from the right side.
03:10And then this play action.
03:12Quarterback to roll out left.
03:13Key is getting your shoulders turned.
03:15And he's able to do that.
03:17And he takes Kittle.
03:18That's always been his security blanket.
03:20He's given a choice.
03:21That's usually where he's going with the football.
03:2320-second career 100-yard game for Kittle.
03:29Here's McKinsey.
03:30And he gets struck to the ground by Neville Galvore.
03:36He's had a nice season.
03:38You know, George Kittle was talking to Kyle Shanahan about him as well as Brock Purdy.
03:43And I just love everything about this guy.
03:45The energy in which he plays.
03:47He's a great leader for this team.
03:50Kind of helps keep people in line.
03:51And then in visiting with both Kyle and Purdy,
03:56I would say he's arguably the most upbeat guy on the team as well.
04:01Very positive and touches attitude.
04:06Second down and goal.
04:10Purdy being chased.
04:14And that's a throw away.
04:16Really good coverage, Joe.
04:18And I thought Purdy was going to try to come back and maybe fit a ball back,
04:22throw it back into the middle.
04:24And that's the one thing about Brock, as we know.
04:27He just is reluctant to give up on a play.
04:30And a lot of times, good things come from that.
04:33But we have seen those moments when he tries to fit a ball into a tight space
04:38and it doesn't work out too well.
04:39And it's Tommy Waugh at a bar today with the pressure chasing Purdy at that 30 goal.
04:48Purdy.
04:49James, with a catch.
04:51Touchdown, 49ers.
04:53Shutout on the night until this possession.
05:06A third down grab and now a three-yard touchdown catch.
05:09Great read by Brock Purdy.
05:11They're trying to work McCaffrey on the route inside.
05:14They bracket him coming out of the backfield.
05:17And Purdy recognizes it quickly.
05:20So he gets off him pretty quickly and immediately then goes outside
05:24and delivers a great blow to Dwarf James.
05:30James, as Pinera knocks the extra point through,
05:33continues to add to his career high for touchdown catches in a season.
05:38He had two last week.
05:40He's got one tonight.
05:41He's got eight on the year.
05:42Great throw.
05:43Great catch.
05:4449ers at 14.
05:48Psych.
05:55Chris, what are you doing?
05:57Getting ready for game day.
05:58It's only my second favorite holiday ever.
06:00Uh, Chris?
06:02Not now, Patricia.
06:03It is game day.
06:06Sports.
06:07Ooh, buffalo wings.
06:09I didn't know buffaloes had wings.
06:11You can never be too prepared for game day, all right?
06:14Hey, Tim!
06:15Come on, buddy!
06:17Oh, sorry.
06:19Make game day a holiday?
06:21At Target.
06:22He is so strong!
06:25To all the small fries.
06:27And the funky chickens.
06:29To the dancers.
06:30The chancers.
06:32And whatever this guy's doing.
06:34What are you wearing?
06:36To those who can't look.
06:38Can't look away.
06:39Or just can't.
06:43No matter how you game day, Chick-fil-A nuggets are there for the win.
06:47Get your 30-count Chick-fil-A nuggets.
06:50And start celebrating today.
06:52Wait for it, everybody.
06:56All right, here we go now.
07:05That's just fun to watch.
07:07Moments are like snowflakes.
07:10Merry Christmas!
07:11There's nothing more important than family.
07:13And the family we make along the way.
07:16That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
07:19I will make sure that Morgan is not breaking any walls.
07:26Where are you going?
07:27To Snoop.
07:29Mid-air homicide.
07:31I will work this case for free.
07:33I don't mean that.
07:34That's just something people say.
07:42There's nothing like a day in the job.
07:45To remind you how quickly life can change.
07:48Get out of there.
07:48I love you.
07:5514-point ballgame now in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
08:0070,000 packed in.
08:0518th season that this stadium has been home to the Colts.
08:08Shane Steichen trying to rally the troops.
08:10They're down by 14 now.
08:11And the Colts are about to get the ball for the first time in the second half.
08:18Brock Burney, outstanding.
08:19Four-career, four-touchdown game.
08:23He's throwing touchdowns to four different targets.
08:26Colton Owen on the return.
08:33That's a lane.
08:35And the lane shut down as he got to the 35.
08:38Here's Brock Burney tonight.
08:42All four touchdowns.
08:45We got DeMarcus Robinson.
08:50We got Fish in the cap free.
08:52We threw back across for Kimmel.
08:54And moments ago, Juwan Jones.
08:57We talked about it coming in, Joe.
08:59Oh, sure.
08:59Rub it in.
09:00He had three interceptions in that game.
09:04But the two games since, and he has played exceptionally well.
09:08We've seen him move and do some things that probably were a little cumbersome coming off
09:13that toe injury.
09:14But he's been playing at a high level, and he has been red hot here in this game tonight.
09:23Here's a hand out to Taylor.
09:24No.
09:26He may be literally red hot.
09:27He was sick all week and dealing with a head cold as Tatum Bethune reminds us what the
09:3449ers have been missing over the past three games.
09:37Flag on that play, and Ron Torbert and company are talking it over.
09:49After the play was over, personal foul and necessary roughness defense.
09:53Number two.
09:55Pills 15 yards from the dead ball spot.
09:57I'm at a first step.
09:59They get to you on the...
