00:00from the picturesque pacific northwest and the city of seattle welcome inside lumen field
00:14where all the 12s make it at home for the seahawks coming up we've got a good one in store
00:21it's the tampa bay buccaneers and the seattle seahawks
00:30on the tampa sideline it's head coach todd bowles this guy's stuck in a fierce battle last week in
00:43the game that ended up atop on the other side the seahawks it's mike mcdonald his team looking
00:51for a spark hoping their fans will give it to them here at home as we are set to go
00:56a welcome to you mike tirico along with greg olsen chase mclaughlin set to get it started
01:06and we are underway in the pacific northwest
01:10and he's brought down right at the 25 yard line
01:14seahawks come out and they are led by a new quarterback sam darnold from usc he's bounced
01:23around for his first seven seasons this is fifth different franchise as he starts year eight in
01:28the nfl and greg it's year one with the seahawks
01:32a lot of things jump off the tape when you watch last week but it was really just the overall
01:37execution of the game plan that stuck out the most i mean not only to get them in that end zone a
01:43handful of times he protected the ball and he routinely exploited the weaknesses that they found during
01:48the week on film he's gonna be looking to do the same thing over these next four quarters and he's
01:53successful
01:55we're in the middle of the field but that is incomplete
02:00while we have a moment while we take a look at the key and actives not playing in the ball game here this afternoon
02:07third and seven
02:11operating from the gun it's darnold
02:19that is completed to come
02:21it's a pickup of 12
02:24it's good for a seahawks first down
02:27these third down conversions are just so important mike everybody stresses we want to possess the ball
02:34give our offense as much opportunity to end as many drives as we can
02:38score points
02:40if you want to stay on the field you better be good on third down
02:43from the 48 yard lock here's second down and two
02:52go set
02:53it's out quick it's cut on the rpo
02:59the attack is going to be made down at the 40 yard lock
03:03a first set of downs to work with it is first down and ten
03:08here's walker
03:15he'll work his way ahead for a game of the mouth full
03:17ball on the 35 here comes a second and five
03:28that's it
03:35working out of the gun
03:37it's
03:38and he lost the football
03:40and the boccaneers come away with the turnoff
03:43and that's just gotta be a really deflating way to start this game mike i mean you work on this opening script all week long with the expectation that you're gonna start fast and then you come out early careless with the ball
03:55they knock it loose and create the early takeaway
04:02so the buccaneers come out and baker mayfield leads them out he has found a spot to be very comfortable
04:10the former number one overall pick out of oklahoma who turned 30 in the offseason and has done a nice job with the buccaneers the last few years
04:17you know mike it's kind of become cliche you know these guys come onto the field and we say hey you gotta defend every blade of grass they can make every throw
04:24but that's exactly the case anytime this guy is lined up behind center
04:31the amount of stress that it puts on your pass defense on your secondary you know i gotta defend sideline to sideline
04:36line of scrimmage to the endzone no matter where that ball is snapped that's the tall task
04:41and they're gonna have to mix up coverages and be really sound on the back end or this guy can really kill you
04:47here's a second and six
04:54on the bootleg
04:55it's mayfield
04:56rolling right
04:58they'll find the hockey out of ohio state and net gun a book
05:0314 yards on that pass play there
05:07good for a buccaneers first down
05:09the defender has to do a better job here mike of getting depth he wants to elevate that ball to give his secondary defender a chance to make a play
05:20he gets too much width not enough depth and a quarterback like this has got to take advantage
05:26so everything this defense talks about mike is creating negative plays
05:31is one of the best run defenses in football
05:34everything is about suffocating you at the line of scrimmage
05:37make you work for everything you get
05:40there's a reception for chris godwin
05:44and they bring him down inside to the 25 yard line
05:49they get 18 on the pitching catch
05:53it's first down for tampa bay
05:56and that's a nice grab for his first catch of the game mike
06:01and he's someone that the play caller has told us
06:04he wants to get him early touches
06:06get him a feel for the game
06:08nice job there making that happen
06:10the key to great defensive line play
06:13is the get off
06:14and that ball moves
06:15how fast can you get off the ball and get into the backfield
06:18that's exactly what we saw here
06:20quick read react
06:21get off the block
06:22take him down for a loss
06:23left side he's got a good go
06:28he'll get maybe three out of that one
06:31and it's gonna set up third down
06:33a bit of a quick hitter here
06:35and what you're hoping for mike
06:36is that the defense can't react quickly enough
06:38because the ball's coming out so hot
06:40but they knew it was coming
06:42and they end up holding them to just a short game
06:44stop
06:49out of the shotgun
06:51mayfield
06:52on the run to the right
06:54and that is incomplete
06:58i think he predetermined that third down throw
07:01and even though the coverage was tight
07:02he still tried to fit the ball in there anyway
07:05and it ended up falling incomplete
07:07i think if he goes through his progressions
07:09and has a little bit more trust in his protection
07:12i think there's an easier throw to make out there
07:15so anytime an offense comes off the field after settling for three
07:19you always have to take the good with the back
07:21in order to get down there in field goal range
07:23you had to do something positive to move the ball
07:26but at the same time
07:27how are we gonna be able to finish these drives
07:30and convert for six the next time we get down there
07:33Umm
07:37he'll get across the 20
07:38or a 23-yard line
07:40you are ass
07:41you are ass
07:42you are ass
07:43off the playbank
07:44here is Darnold
07:45that one
07:48down the field
07:51Bunch
07:52here is Darnold
07:53the champion
07:54he's attacking
07:55the ground
07:56down the field
07:57but
07:58he's attacking
07:59the champion
08:00he's attacking
08:01lower
08:03It is incomplete.
08:05Quarterback's trying to give his big tight end a chance to go up
08:08and use that large catch radius, unable to connect.
08:12A little left down here for the tight end community, Mike.
08:15Low time to set up the screen here with Walker.
08:19And he's going to be taken down.
08:22Screen works to perfection.
08:25Give him 18 yards and move the James.
08:27First down.
08:27Seahawks, first down.
08:30First and 10 at the 41-yard line.
08:34Now Walker.
08:37Pass midfield to the 45.
08:41And he will go all the way.
08:45Kenneth Walker.
08:47Now Seahawks.
08:49It's his fourth rushing touchdown of the year.
08:55And this is what good offenses in the NFL do, Mike.
08:58It's the ability to bounce back.
09:00Even if the onset of the game doesn't go exactly according to plan.
09:05Everybody wants to take their opening possession and go down there and come away with a touchdown.
09:10But it's not always going to be perfect.
09:12You turn it over on possession one.
09:14What are you going to do in response on possession two?
09:17Well, we just got our answer and they took it down for six.
09:22Dotson now is a return.
09:25And he's stopped.
09:27The match 25 drive will begin there.
09:30The Buccaneers offense ready to take over for their second possession.
09:35Greg, I love the evolution of the NFL.
09:38Every three, four years feels like things change a little bit.
09:41Right now it feels like we're in a running back, running game era.
09:45Does that make sense to you?
09:48Absolutely.
09:48And the league has such a funny way of continuing to reinvent itself.
09:53Years ago, 15, 20 years ago, Mike, this was a running back led league.
09:58It was play action.
09:59Quarterbacks were under center.
10:00And then what offenses realized was the best way to score points is to generate explosive points.
10:08Get a bunch of yardage all at one time because it's very hard to sustain possessions in the NFL.
10:13So as a result, they said, okay, what's the best way to generate big plays?
10:17It's to throw the ball downfield.
10:19So it became a very fast heavy league.
10:21And then now defenses have to answer.
10:24The days of the big defensive tackles, the 260-pound linebackers.
10:28It's like everyone now on the field had to be able to defend space and defend the pass.
10:33And there was a lot more air on the field created by the defenses.
10:37Oh, look at this.
10:38It's a fake.
10:40And he is out of bounds.
10:43But the fake work is picking up the first down.
10:48They get 18 yards on fourth down and a fresh set of downs.
10:54Hey, Scott.
10:55Baker is going to give it to Irving.
10:59His defense.
11:00Oh.
11:01Over this one.
11:01They get him down behind the line.
11:03It's a loss of a couple.
11:06A loss of two.
11:07Brings up the second and 12 on the Seahawks' 49-yard line.
11:13We are through one.
11:15It's the Seahawks with the early lead.
11:18Greg and I back in the great Northwest in a moment.
11:35On to the second.
11:36Buccaneers in possession of the football.
11:39They've got it second down and 12 to go.
11:42They go play action with Mayfield.
11:56That one down the field, but they cannot connect.
11:59And it's incomplete.
12:01Chris Gosling, the receiver he was looking for.
12:04And third down coming up.
12:06To throw is Mayfield.
12:14Escaping to his left.
12:15And that is incomplete.
12:18I say one of the most critical elements of a dynamic offense, Mike, is how efficient are you on third down?
12:24Something these teams stress all week.
12:26There's an opportunity to continue to extend this drive.
12:30The defense wins this time and brings up fourth down.
12:32Good hang time.
12:34Fair catch.
12:35Will be made back at their own 12.
12:38The Seahawks take over at first and 10.
12:40At their own 13-yard line.
12:42This is super.
12:43You don't run.
12:45This is super.
12:48Hey, check it out.
12:49Slamp, slam, slam.
12:51Come on, let's go.
12:52Throwing it on first and 10 is done.
12:56Are the pressure too much?
12:58And he goes down.
12:59This is the end.
13:016-7.
13:02Brings up second and 17 at the 6-yard line.
13:08Work to do now as they come up on second and long.
13:13Here we go, set.
13:15Here we go, set.
13:18From the shotgun, here's Darnold.
13:21He couldn't set his feet, but he completes it anyway.
13:25And they'll hold him to a gain of just a couple and sets up third down.
13:29Brings up third and 14.
13:31He'll set.
13:32He'll set.
13:37He'll set.
13:40Darnold to throw.
13:42He'll get this complete to Walker.
13:45And he'll be stopped short of a first down, and that will necessitate all to the punt team.
13:51It's fourth down.
13:51It's fourth down.
13:52Michael Dixon to punt for the Seahawks.
13:54So, it's fourth down.
13:55The Seahawks send out the Aussie Michael Dixon to punt.
13:58Cameron Johnson, deep for Tampa Bay.
14:01And he's going to be brought down after a short turn, and that's where his team will get possession of the football.
14:14The Bucs' offense ready to take over once more.
14:17They'll begin just shy of midfield with a first and 10.
14:21The Handoff is over.
14:29It looks like some place to go, but nothing developing.
14:33A tackle behind the line is a loss of one.
14:36Well, they try to get the run game started here early on this drive, Mike.
14:40And they're just going to have to do a better job up front.
14:43There's really nowhere for this ball carrier to go.
14:46You never want to lose yards on first down, but that's exactly the case here.
14:50Can he get away?
14:51No.
14:52He's going to be taken down behind the line.
14:56The truth is, Mike, they just aren't getting the push they need up front.
15:00This defense has been a motivated group these last couple plays.
15:03And now for the second straight time, they failed to even get back to the original line of scrimmage.
15:10On play action, Mayfield will swing this down wide to Irving.
15:15And he'll be out of bounds, well short of the line to gain.
15:20And that'll set up fourth down.
15:23So the rule of thumb so often when you call these play action passes, Mike, is that the guy you fake it to,
15:29he tends to be wide open more often than not.
15:32And it's exactly the case here.
15:34Dump it off to the bat, in the flat, and he does the rest.
15:38And he's going to have the Buccaneers first down.
15:41As this defense too loose there.
15:45Gain and 19 on fourth down.
15:48Love the idea of going for it on fourth down.
15:51Anytime you're on your opponent's side of the field, Mike, you have to take advantage of that field position.
15:56You're too long for a field goal, but you're too close to the end zone to punt it.
16:00So going for it on fourth down is definitely the right move.
16:03Now you've got to take advantage of it and don't let it go to waste.
16:07And a nice run there on first down.
16:09Getting eight.
16:11Setting up second and two.
16:12It's a game away.
16:13Brings up second and two at the 16-yard line.
16:29Mayfield to throw.
16:31He's got it inside the five.
16:33And he's taken down, but they are in business.
16:37This sets up first and goal.
16:40And what a way to get your first catch as a pro, Mike.
16:43I mean, the only thing that would have made it better is if it would have been a touchdown.
16:47But with that grab, they're on the doorstep of the end zone.
16:50And they're looking at first and goal.
16:52Ball sitting on the three.
16:59It is first down and goal.
17:03Good.
17:04Good.
17:05Throwing is Mayfield.
17:07Out to his right.
17:09That is caught.
17:10And he's in.
17:13Brian Miller.
17:15Touchdown, Tampa.
17:16That is first touchdown this year.
17:20And that's just another element that defenses have to worry about when playing a team like
17:28this.
17:28You match up with all their skill guys in the route concept, but then there's nobody left
17:33to account for the quarterback, and he ends up making the play.
17:37Big-time finish.
17:38Big-time play.
17:39And they end this drive with six.
17:46What they're looking at here is the spot of the football.
17:50Always tricky to get this exactly right.
17:52But it takes a few inches to make a big impact.
17:55So slow this down, find a landmark on the field, and determine where the spot should be.
18:02After review of the play, the ruling will appeal to the game.
18:16On is Chase McLaughlin for the extra point.
18:19He gets it to go, and the Bucs are on top.
18:27It's now 10-7.
18:29Seahawks set up.
18:30Here's McLaughlin now.
18:41After the score, he'll kick this one away.
18:46This is fielded inside the five.
18:48He'll get this past the 20 before he's brought down shy of the 25-yard line.
18:56So here's a first and 10 now.
19:06They'll start from the 24.
19:11Off the bootleg.
19:12Here's Darnold.
19:14On balance throw.
19:16It's complete.
19:17Now he's loose at the 40.
19:20On a great connection there.
19:21They're going to bring it down inside the 35-yard line.
19:25A big play for Seattle to gain a 43-yard line.
19:32First and 10 at the 33-yard line.
19:36On first and 10, here comes Walker.
19:38And this takes him into the red zone.
19:41He's brought down inside the 20-yard line.
19:45They get 15 on that game.
19:48First down, Seattle.
19:51First and 10 at the 18-yard line.
19:56Keep it on the ground and keep it with Walker.
20:01Defenses always have to make a decision, Mike.
20:03How do they want to defend the zone read?
20:05Some teams want the quarterback to keep the ball.
20:08They want the ability to tackle the quarterback.
20:11Other teams, they want it to be a give read.
20:13And that's what we saw here.
20:14They were ready for it.
20:15And they take the running back down for a loss.
20:17That's a good game there.
20:19It's going to wind up just a couple of yards shy of that first down.
20:24Two minutes to play in the first half of a three-point game.
20:29We're back to Seattle after this.
20:32They've moved the ball well here, but now faced third and two.
20:38Here we go, set.
20:40Now, Darnold.
20:48And on third down, that ball incomplete.
20:52And the defense knew they had to be ready for anything here on third and short.
20:56They decided to put the ball in the air, and they might have been better off keeping that ball on the ground.
21:02Because that defense was ready for it, and they were all over.
21:05Fire's kick is good.
21:08And the Seahawks will level the score at 10 at peak.
21:13It's always a little bit of a letdown, Mike.
21:15You find yourself deep in the red zone, and you have to settle for a short field goal like that.
21:20In this case, he's able to put it through, and they get three.
21:23Here comes a return from the five.
21:26And he'll work this one past the 25 to right about the 28-yard line.
21:31On first down is Mayfield.
21:54This pass is caught by Kate O'Brien.
21:59And they'll bring him down, but not until he gets to the 38-yard line.
22:08Mayfield to throw it here on first down.
22:10He's got the connection there to Ibuka.
22:13These are the play calls, Mike, that offensive coordinators use to just get their quarterback and their passing game into some sort of rhythm.
22:22Easy pitch and catch.
22:23Ball out of his hand.
22:25See a completion.
22:26These typically, as the game goes on, lead to bigger and bigger gains.
22:30So they come to the line for first down and 10.
22:35From the gun, it's Mayfield.
22:39Open and downfield.
22:41That's caught with.
22:43And they will get the first down here and move it to field goal range inside the 25.
22:49And here's first down.
22:52First and 10 at the 23-yard line.
22:54First and 10 at the 23-yard line.
23:25What's up?
23:26Mayfield.
23:29That's going to be incomplete.
23:32Huffridge, very good there.
23:33Contact jarring the ball loose.
23:36And it's going to force third down.
23:39All right, so the ball falls incomplete.
23:41But I think what it does now, Mike, is it allows you to stop the clock, get in the huddle, take a deep breath.
23:47And now your play caller has to give you the best play.
23:50Go get points here before the half and try to build something going into half.
23:54Great pass rushers live for third down.
23:58Especially when they know the offense has to be one-dimensional.
24:01This is a great example here, Mike.
24:03They can just pin their ears back and go.
24:06They know there is no threat for run.
24:08It is a must-pass situation.
24:10And this offense, they're lucky it didn't result in a sack.
24:13And I think this is going to end up being considered a successful drive, Mike.
24:18I think obviously you would have loved to see them come down and convert and score a touchdown.
24:23But at the very least, they needed to come away with three.
24:26They were able to do that and take a lead on that field goal.
24:28A return now from the four.
24:31Across the 20, they'll mark them down before the 25-yard line.
24:35That's where the offense will take over.
24:37It's a three-tight end look as they have it first and 10.
24:51Here we go, start.
24:52Start.
24:53And they're just going to run it here up the middle.
24:57He left that first defender grasping for air.
24:59As he winds up getting eight out of that one.
25:03Here's second and two.
25:04Brings up second and two.
25:07Here we go, start.
25:08Start.
25:10Working out of the gun.
25:12It's Darnold.
25:13He'll look over the middle and find his running back.
25:16And that's a first down.
25:18It will be a gain of eight.
25:21That's good for us Seahawks.
25:23First down.
25:25Start.
25:25First down.
25:26They send a receiver in motion left.
25:30They'll go play action with Darnold.
25:32And it's just four seconds left in the first half.
25:37A timeout is called.
25:39Look them up on a second down and eight.
25:45Throwing.
25:46Darnold.
25:47A ball deep for the end zone.
25:52That's going to be incomplete.
25:55They took a shot on the final play.
25:58Prayer not answered.
26:00And that is how this first half will come to an end.
26:04Our spin around the NFL starts now.
26:08We begin with a visit to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
26:11The Panthers at home to take on Miami.
26:14And it's a man who had a real nice season last year.
26:20Chuba Hubbard.
26:2254 yards to the house.
26:26The Panthers with an important W.
26:29They didn't want to start one and four.
26:31And they won't following their victory here.
26:34Why don't we go over to Charm City now.
26:37Check in on the Ravens as they host the Houston Texans.
26:40And it's the rookie from USC, Woody Marks.
26:46He's going to find a crease and take it 13 yards to the end zone.
26:52The Texans come away with a four-point victory.
26:55Lastly, we go to Indianapolis.
27:02It's the Colts taking on the Raiders.
27:07And this is Daniel Jones.
27:10He connects.
27:11It's a 16-yard touchdown.
27:14The Colts move to 4-1.
27:17Looking good as they get the win here.
27:19With that, here's a look at the rest of the action from around the NFL
27:26here in Week 5, the first weekend of October.
27:30In the game you're watching, it's been tight throughout.
27:33A field goal separating these two sides through two quarters.
27:37As we send you back out to the broadcast team,
27:39Mike Tirico and Greg Olson.
27:49Three points.
28:07All that separates these two sides as half number two kicks off.
28:13Johnson now to return.
28:15He's across the 20, taking down just shot.
28:20Oh, it's the 25.
28:21He's across the 20, taking down just shot.
28:22Oh, it's the 25.
28:22At their own 24-yard line.
28:24On first down, here's Perkins.
28:48And he's got some space.
28:50A pass to 30 to about the 32-yard line.
28:53A pick-up to 7.
28:56Eight yards on the pick-up.
28:58Brings up second and two.
29:00We'll come to the line now on second and two.
29:06Watch out!
29:09Now he'll give on the ground.
29:11And he's going to get this one out to the 43-yard line.
29:15A game there of 11.
29:18Good for a Buccaneers first down.
29:20Second and short.
29:22Normally, this is a great time, like, to put the ball in the air
29:25and try to press the ball downfield.
29:27But in this case, they keep it on the ground.
29:30It has a similar effect.
29:31They pick up a good game and a first down.
29:35Eight field to throw on first and 10.
29:38Pass.
29:39We're deep for Godwin.
29:41That is knocked away.
29:43Incomplete.
29:44Good coverage there.
29:45Defensively.
29:46All over him.
29:47And it'll be second down.
29:50Well, we have a moment when we take a look at the key inactives
29:52not playing in the ballgame here this afternoon.
29:56The try again.
29:58It's second and ten.
30:01Watch out!
30:03Up the middle they go.
30:05And he nearly got free.
30:07But as it is,
30:09a game of six.
30:10And it sets up third down.
30:12Game of the play.
30:13And it's third down.
30:19What's up?
30:21Off the play fake.
30:22It's Mayfield.
30:24Who can't move for it?
30:28Good awareness there on third down.
30:30He's thinking there's nothing there.
30:32Tuck it and head for the sticks.
30:34He's able to get the first down himself,
30:36avoid any big contact.
30:37And the biggest thing is he keeps the drive away.
30:40And the ball here gives.
30:41This is Irving.
30:43And they bring him down,
30:44but not until they get inside the 30-yard line.
30:48It's a game of 12 there.
30:50It's a first down for Tampa Bay.
30:52Fucking years.
30:54First down.
30:56A game of 12.
30:57First down.
30:59My cut.
31:00They go play action with Mayfield.
31:02A little short pass here.
31:05Caught by his tight end.
31:07And he dropped down after a game of six on first down.
31:12From the 23, this is second and three.
31:18Lone back in the backfield.
31:20He'll get the carry here.
31:22And he'll get nothing here.
31:24Back to the line of scrimmage.
31:26And that's all.
31:27It's third down.
31:28They'll come up to third and three.
31:32And it seems like he just cut that route a little too short.
31:53He's got to get more depth on the initial stem.
31:56And that way he makes sure when he catches the ball,
31:59it's beyond the sticks.
32:01Three for three in the game.
32:03As this one is also good.
32:05And the Bucks will extend their lead.
32:09And this is what you want.
32:11I mean, you clearly have the advantage,
32:13but you want to continue to apply pressure.
32:15Can you score every time you get the ball?
32:18They're able to do that here.
32:19They tack on three and extend their lead.
32:21On the return, here comes Horton.
32:26And he's down at the 23,
32:29and that's where the offense will take over.
32:31Take over for a step down at their own 23-yard line.
32:35This drive starts on the ground with Walker.
32:48He wants three.
32:49Breaks on.
32:51Still going.
32:53And they won't catch him.
32:55He'll go all the way.
32:5776 yards.
33:00Touchdown Seattle.
33:01Well, that's a way to start a drive.
33:07He takes it all the way to the house.
33:09I don't know what they were talking about
33:10on the last series.
33:12But they've come out on this series, Greg,
33:13with the right answer for the touchdown.
33:15And, Mike, the reason a lot of teams start off drives
33:19with the run plays to allow themselves
33:20to operate at the end of the chains.
33:23Well, not this guy.
33:24He found the alley.
33:25He took it.
33:26And he's off to the races.
33:28Number six.
33:29Both games ready to go once more.
33:31As the kick's away.
33:35This taken at the five.
33:38And it'll be brought down past the 25.
33:41Decent field position to start this drop.
33:43They're on the 27-yard line.
33:45On the 27.
33:58Here's second and nine.
34:02And not much there.
34:05He's back to the original line.
34:07No game on that.
34:11Ball on the 27.
34:13Here's second and nine.
34:19On play action.
34:20He'll set up to throw.
34:22Going for it all.
34:24That one incomplete.
34:25Leaves.
34:26Good job.
34:27Spitzbook there.
34:28Separating the man from the ball.
34:30And it'll bring up third downs.
34:32The Mecca, Ibuka, the intended receiver.
34:36And it's going to bring up a third down.
34:42And, Scott.
34:43Out of a shot.
34:45Mayfield.
34:46He'll get this out to his running back.
34:48And he's going to be out of bounds at the 40-yard line.
34:54Call it a gain of 13.
34:56Good for a Buccaneers first down.
35:00A gain of 13 yards.
35:02First down.
35:03He'll run to the inside handoff.
35:06And they bring him down, but not until he crosses midfield.
35:10That's a gain of 11.
35:12And they'll move the chains with another first down.
35:15And some space opens as he's brought down following a gain of six.
35:27And as of right now, they find themselves trailing at the moment.
35:31But it's certainly not because of the ground game.
35:33He's averaging over four yards per carry.
35:36It just hasn't been enough to overcome some of their shortcomings elsewhere.
35:42On play action.
35:44Mayfield.
35:46That's to the right side.
35:48And he completes.
35:50For the most part, he's been very accurate with the ball.
35:53He's completing over 60% of his passes.
35:55But because they haven't been able to get any big explosive plays,
35:59continue to push the ball downfield,
36:01hasn't really translated on the scoreboard just yet.
36:06He manages to get the throw away and completes it.
36:10And the defense can't come up with a stop there.
36:14Gain of seven and a first down.
36:18It's just been a really impressive drive, Mike, really from the start.
36:21And this is something defenses want to force offenses to do.
36:25Methodically work their way down the field.
36:27But they've been highly efficient.
36:29And now they get another first down.
36:32Baker going to hand it to Weiss.
36:35And he'll get back to the line of scrimmage at best.
36:38Might have even lost a yard there.
36:39So the offense trots out the old jumbo passage.
36:43So they bring out three tight ends, big bodies.
36:47But the defense kind of sees it coming.
36:49They've got to change it up.
36:50You can't be so predictable.
36:52Big bodies run, small bodies pass.
36:55And I think that's a little bit of what's going on here.
36:57And they're going to be set up in the red zone.
37:00They've got it inside the 15.
37:03They're locked in on this drive.
37:05Second connection for that pair.
37:07This one gaining 22.
37:14Here's Irving.
37:16And the Bucs are going to have first and goal.
37:19Good running.
37:20Gets them down to about the two-yard line.
37:24A huge advantage to red zone offense is the ability to run the ball.
37:29In this case, I thought he was going to score.
37:31Takes it all the way down inside the two.
37:33Sets up first and goal.
37:36This drive has been methodical, but will they turn it into six points?
37:42It is first and goal.
37:45Not much there.
37:46Maybe a yard.
37:52So, these two teams take the long walk to the opposite end of the stadium.
37:57We've come to the end of the third quarter.
38:00We'll return with more after this.
38:02This is the NFL on EA Sports.
38:06Another shot from the one on second.
38:15We'll return with more after this.
38:17We'll return with more after this.
38:19We'll return with more after this.
38:20Another shot from the one on second end goal.
38:37That one hurts, Greg.
38:52They had a really nice drive going and moved it halfway down the field,
38:56but then fumbled down here in the red zone,
38:58and the defense comes up with a turnover.
39:01Anytime you put together a drive of this length, Mike,
39:04you just want to come away with points.
39:06Of course, a touchdown is the main goal,
39:08but in this case, to turn the ball over this deep in the red zone
39:12is just a brutal turn of events for this offense.
39:17Both Seahawks' offense and Kenneth Walker ready to take over once more.
39:20And remember now, all turnovers have to be verified by a replay,
39:26so they might be taking a look at this one.
39:28At issue, was the knee or any other body part except the hand
39:32down before the ball comes loose,
39:35and are the visuals convincing enough to overturn the call on the field?
39:40So that one overturned.
39:53They say the runner was down, and that will not be a fumble.
39:57For the lead, here is third and goal.
40:13What a game this has been.
40:26Back and forth we go,
40:28and that fourth quarter score changes the lead one more time.
40:32And we've seen the lead go back and forth, Mike,
40:34and now the question is, can they get a stop?
40:37Can they find a way defensively to hang on to this lead
40:40and get themselves this big win?
40:42Now, remember, all scoring plays are reviewed.
41:10Tight game, tight call.
41:13They're going to take a good, long look at this one.
41:17At issue, did the ball cross the goal line?
41:19A reminder, it just needs to be the tip of the football
41:23just breaking the front of the plane
41:26where that white goal line begins.
41:28And it needs to be indisputable,
41:31which can sometimes be difficult with all those bodies in there.
41:40So take away the touchdown.
41:41The officials rule, in fact, he did not get the football
41:44across the plane, the goal line.
41:57So here we go.
41:59Could be the play that ends up deciding this one.
42:02Fourth down and goal.
42:04And he barrels his way into the end zone.
42:10Bucky Irving.
42:12Touchdown, Buccaneers.
42:14His second rushing touchdown of the year.
42:19What a big call there.
42:21It's fourth down.
42:21A field goal gives you the lead, but they clearly want more.
42:25Mike, we see so many teams going more towards the fourth down.
42:28Keep the offense on the field.
42:30Three points don't get you the win.
42:32And this shows so much confidence in this offense
42:35by this coaching staff.
42:38This will be big for the Bucs.
42:41They're going to try the two-point conversion.
42:44The Bucs will set up for the two-point conversion.
42:47One-eighty!
42:49Watch what!
42:51They're going to try to run it in.
42:53And he is not going to get in.
42:56Stop on the drive for two.
42:59The lead remains right in.
43:01I don't love the call.
43:04All week you practice these gotta-have-it plates.
43:07Every call sheet, Mike, has three or four plays that are down here in the goal line
43:11that could also be used as two-point plays.
43:14I think to simply turn around and just hand the ball to your running back
43:17and be a little bit more creative,
43:20that's a big missed opportunity.
43:21Out comes the Seattle offense as they get ready for their next possession.
43:27They'll see if they can put something together here,
43:30beginning with first and ten.
43:34On the ground, it's Walker to start to drive.
43:37And that looks there.
43:39Good defense held to no game.
43:42They'll try again here.
43:43Second and ten.
43:45Brings up second and ten.
43:47At the 26-yard line.
43:49Here we go, Seth.
43:51From the shotgun, here's Darnold.
43:54He'll locate cut.
43:57And he'll be stopped short of the first down.
43:58He's able to look it in and get forward for a pickup of about eight.
44:03Here is a big one.
44:06Third down and two.
44:08Got it with Smith and Jigba.
44:14And he's going to have the first down.
44:16It is a gain of six.
44:18Good conversion on third down.
44:21And the Seahawks, first down.
44:24First and ten at the 41-yard line.
44:30On the ground, Walker.
44:32He's fighting to get back to the line of scrimmage,
44:34but can't get there.
44:36Drops for the loss.
44:37Up a yard.
44:39Well, the defense gets a rare win.
44:41We've seen this ball carrier have his way on the ground
44:44pretty much all day today, Mike.
44:45And give credit to the defense.
44:47They were able to get back in the backfield with some penetration
44:49and bring him down for a loss.
44:56And he'll just bite the bullet and throw this one away.
44:59That's a good idea.
45:00Didn't force anything there.
45:02But now it's going to bring up third down.
45:03And 12 yards to go.
45:05Watch the shot!
45:06Watch the shot!
45:08Darnold.
45:10Oh, he's going to be bottled up and taken down.
45:13They've got him.
45:15Anthony Nelson.
45:17He gets there for the sack.
45:19Setting up fourth down.
45:23Kicking time for the Seahawks.
45:25They'll punt this one away.
45:27They'll be forced to punt.
45:28Trailing here in the fourth quarter.
45:31To return is Johnson.
45:42Here's the Tampa Bay offense.
45:44They're going to take over once more.
45:46The lead is five as they're going to start with this first down.
45:50They'll begin here on the ground.
46:03And he's got this up close to the 35-yard line.
46:07It's a gain of 16 and very quickly a first down.
46:12From the 34 now, it's first and 10.
46:18First down, Buccaneers.
46:22They'll stay on the ground.
46:24He'll be taken down after a gain of two.
46:27So, from 37, here's second and eight.
46:38To throw is Mayfield.
46:41And they got the look they were hoping for.
46:54One-on-one on the outside.
46:57He's just unable to hold on to it through contact.
46:59And I think that was a big opportunity missed.
47:02Ladies, watch out.
47:05They'll try to get this one on the ground.
47:07I don't think that was going too far either way.
47:11Defense right on it.
47:13They hold him to no gain.
47:15Well, maybe he's counting a little bit, Mike,
47:17on this defense being in pass mode.
47:19And maybe you can catch him off guard with the run call.
47:22In this case, the defense was ready for all of it.
47:25They hold him to no gain.
47:26They're going to have to bring out the punt team.
47:29And good coverage by the punt team.
47:31They stop him before he can get any return cranked up.
47:35The Seahawks' offense and Kenneth Walker ready to take over once more.
47:40They'll begin with first and ten.
47:51Operating from the gun, it's Darnold.
47:55Ah, nowhere to go.
47:57He's going to be taken down.
47:58This is what you don't want to see out of your quarterback.
48:03As that pocket starts to collapse,
48:05the good ones, they can keep their eyes downfield and feel the rush.
48:10They don't need to see the rush.
48:12Here, his eyes go down.
48:14He starts moving around the pocket.
48:16Nowhere to go with the ball.
48:17And they're going to go for a second.
48:20And they'll get about eight out of that one.
48:23But still a little work to do now on third down.
48:25That's a game of eight.
48:27Brings up third and eight.
48:30Here we go, set.
48:32Set.
48:38Here's Darnold.
48:40That is to the rookie, Torrey Horton.
48:44There's time to flip his way all game long.
48:47He comes through with the grab and a first down.
48:51So two minutes left to play in the second half.
48:54First and ten at the 46-yard line.
48:55Greg and I back for the conclusion in a moment.
49:00Plenty of time.
49:01All three timeouts left.
49:03It's first and ten.
49:06They'll drop to throw.
49:08There's a short one taken in by Barnard.
49:12They're going to work this down inside the 45.
49:16Now Seattle going to use the first of their timeouts.
49:19And they're going to chance to talk things over after picking up that first down.
49:23Second and ten at the 44-yard line.
49:25To throw again is Barnard.
49:28After the catch, he catches it at four for a gain of nine.
49:34Now second and inches.
49:36It's second and inches at the 34-yard line.
49:43Walker.
49:44Good running there.
49:46He's got the first down inside the 30.
49:49A seven-yard game.
49:52That's another Seahawks first down.
49:57To throw is Darnold.
49:59For the middle, it's cut.
50:02He's going to be marked down at the 12-yard line.
50:0515 yards.
50:06This is first and ten.
50:09In motion is Barnard.
50:13To throw on first down is Darnold.
50:16And I'll get about half of what they needed.
50:19It's a pick up of five and sets up second and five.
50:23And now Seattle will use the final timeout.
50:26Stopping here with just under 40 seconds to go in the game.
50:30They'll come up now for second down.
50:40Here we go.
50:40Set.
50:41Set.
50:42Motion, motion, set.
50:44Darnold to throw.
50:45Headed left.
50:46Fine time.
50:47And this is a touchdown.
50:50They were not going to be denied.
50:52And they have taken the lead here in the final minute of play.
50:57That is a heartbreaker for the defense.
51:12They took away what he wanted to do in the air, Greg.
51:14But that scrambling ability gets him to the end zone for the touchdown.
51:18And the reason?
51:19Oh, what a pressure there.
51:21He can't get a throw away.
51:23And he's taken down.
51:24So they decided to put the ball in the air, which I don't mind on this two-point try.
51:29But execution was just a little bit off.
51:32And it's not going to work out in their favor this time around.
51:35This will be returned from the sixth.
51:38He'll get this past 20 before he's brought down shy of the 25-yard line.
51:44The Buccaneers' offense starting to try it out for this next possession.
51:48They'll try to establish some tempo as they'll start this one with first and 10.
51:53From the gun, it's Mayfield.
52:00A cover's right there.
52:02And it cuts away.
52:03Incomplete.
52:04Intended for by Scott Wrenge.
52:07Brings up 7-10 at the 24-yard line.
52:10On second down, Baker.
52:24A throw left side.
52:26But it's going to wind up being soon.
52:29The game is there for the taking.
52:31They control their own destiny.
52:32But this brings up a really big third down here.
52:34But remember, they don't have to force it and push the ball past the sticks.
52:39Even if they come up short, they still have fourth down in their back pocket to try to extend this drive.
52:45And see if they can pull out the win here late.
52:47That is incomplete.
52:49Here we go.
52:51They're down to what could be their final play.
52:54It's fourth down.
52:57They'll go.
52:58Mayfield.
53:01And that is incomplete.
53:03They had their chance.
53:04They took it there.
53:05Look, they're trailing late.
53:06Got to let it fly.
53:07This will wind up a turnover on down.
53:13On first and 10.
53:15Here comes Wrenge.
53:16And he will be taken down.
53:18We'll see.
53:19Do they want to use those timeouts?
53:21This one is about done.
53:24It's a gain of seven.
53:25Brings up second and three.
53:29Here's second and three to go.
53:34Once again, it's Wrenge.
53:39And the Seahawks are going to have first and goal coming up.
53:43He takes this down to about the five.
53:47So, it's a win here for the Seahawks.
53:50It was a closely fought affair, but they're able to survive.
53:55And they eke out a one-point victory.
54:01So, that'll just about do it for Greg Olson and our entire team.
54:06I'm Mike Tirico.
