00:00It's the other way around, a Falcon win will help out Carolina, and yeah, they'll be watching from Charlotte to Tampa Bay and beyond.
00:08In fact, Cade Aughton, the tight end of the Bucs, said it's weird for me to say who dat and be cheering for the Saints.
00:14Let's get out to Jen Hale to see what the Falcons and the Saints feel about this.
00:18Yeah, Chris, not even the veteran leadership in these two organizations can ever remember being part of a scenario like this.
00:25From the Falcons' Rich McKay and Kirk Cousins to the Saints' Dennis Lausche, this is a new one for everybody, and oh yeah, it's adding extra juice to the sidelines, but certainly not in a friendly way.
00:35Talking to the Saints' defense, Justin Reed told me he's loving the fact the Saints get to, I'll paraphrase here, stick it to the Panthers three times this season.
00:45And Chase Young said he absolutely hates the fact that a Saints win would help out the Bucs.
00:49He just wishes the NFC South would forfeit the playoffs.
00:53So, the chippiness is alive and well, even though it's week 18, guys.
00:58Yeah, it was Kirk Cousins who said at 14 years, I've never seen anything like this.
01:02As Kellen Moore, the rookie head coach for the Saints in the late part of the season with a shuffling roster of players, has his team on a hot streak.
01:10And Raheem Morris in his second season, again, the Falcons so impressive in that Monday night win against the Rams.
01:19Hey, man, I love this feel.
01:20Hey, don't get petty, stay petty.
01:23Be petty.
01:24I love the competition, and I love the fact that these two teams don't like each other.
01:28The rivalry is dead even.
01:30Yeah, right?
01:30It was – Cam Jordan said, we don't care about the other teams.
01:34We just hate the Falcons.
01:35That's the rivalry in the deep south as Devin Tompkins gets this game going.
01:40And good special teams play as New Orleans stops him inside of the 25-yard line.
01:46Isaac Giddle is the corner who plays special teams.
01:51Kirk Cousins, this is a start this season.
01:54And over the last three games during this win streak, he's been hot with three touchdowns against –
02:01actually, the last time they played Tampa Bay was his first start.
02:05He had three touchdowns in that tough loss there.
02:08And Kirk Cousins is just a consummate professional.
02:10It's exactly what you talk about being a professional quarterback.
02:13Watch him, the quick game, get the ball out of his hands as quickly as possible.
02:18Make sure he stays away from the edge presence of this defense.
02:21Team is 4-3 under his leadership after Michael Panik started the year before the injury.
02:27But John Robinson has an opportunity to pick up four and does that right away.
02:33Falcon offensive line, you always got to think about left tackle Jake Matthews,
02:37his 195th consecutive start.
02:40It's the longest in Falcon history and continues.
02:43And I love their right guard, Chris Lindstrom, man, off the ball.
02:47They have a chance called speed off the ball.
02:50And this guy gets off the ball, creates a new line of scrimmage.
02:54And you're going to see Bajon Robinson, their running back, Tyler Algier.
02:58They're going to run that wide zone.
03:00They are exceptional at it.
03:02Algier is in the backfield with Robinson.
03:05And Tyler Algier gets it.
03:07And Algier gets across the 31 up to the 32-yard line.
03:11The Saints defense, Camp Jordan, 15th season.
03:14Demario Davis, 14th season.
03:16Free agents after this year, playing very well and plan to keep on playing beyond this year.
03:21And I love what they've done with 99 Chase Young.
03:25He has had a resurgence to his career, playing the best football of his entire career here with the Saints.
03:33Robinson, a receiver, lower portion of your screen.
03:35He's been catching the football a lot more in his third season.
03:38Cousins is in some trouble here.
03:41And he's going to be sacked.
03:43He's kind of a double team.
03:45But Chase Young was the one who brought him down along with help from Carl Granderson.
03:51Well, they're going to walk up right here.
03:53And you'll see the walk-up linebacker, the walk-up safeties.
03:56That's what they do.
03:57And it gets these one-on-one edges, run a little game out here.
04:01But that's who the Saints are.
04:03Walking up, trying to get those one-on-one protections.
04:06Hey, this is a great run-blocking front for the Atlanta Falcons.
04:10But that's where they struggle, in pass protection.
04:14Bradley Pinion, the veteran, leads the NFL with 32 punts inside the 20.
04:19And this will bounce.
04:20Oh, he's going to hit another one.
04:22Saints let it roll.
04:23Way back inside the 5.
04:25They've had some shuffling on the special teams.
04:29And that return, a shaky one.
04:33That was Naheem Hines, who is the backup running back, just activated, trying to return this punt.
04:45The problem is, because of the Saints going 3-4 deep in their receiver position, as well as the running back position,
04:54Mason Tipton is inactive.
04:57It has hurt their return game.
04:58Meanwhile, Tyler Schuch has been hurting the opposition during a four-game win streak.
05:0326-year-old rookie making his ninth NFL start.
05:07And led this team to its highest offensive yardage output in its last game.
05:12Kaysen Hill in the backfield, rolling his shot and pointing his Tyler Schuch.
05:18Head completing.
05:19Ball comes out, and the Falcons have it!
05:21It was a catch fumble.
05:23Xavier Watts, the rookie, does everything.
05:27Came up with the loose football after Jawan Johnson caught it.
05:30Well, just the over-round beat, that's what they do, right?
05:34The bootkeep out the backside, perfectly designed by the staff.
05:39And this is a great throw on the run.
05:42Jawan Johnson, perfect, three steps.
05:45No question, it's a catch before it gets poked out of there.
05:48But that's Terrell that pokes it out.
05:50And Johnny on the spot's Watts, who had two interceptions last week,
05:56scoops up that fumble, and Atlanta is on the march again.
06:00And what a return inside the 40 of New Orleans, down to the 39-yard line.
06:05Watts making a claim for maybe defensive rookie of the year.
06:08Big turnover by the Saints.
06:11Another takeaway, this Falcon defense is playing the best it has all season long,
06:16and maybe in a couple seasons in this last month.
06:18Cousins to throw from the pocket, getting harassed,
06:24and he's going to be sacked again.
06:25Cam Jordan, now 10-and-a-half sacks this season.
06:34And this just one-on-one right here on the edge.
06:37Cam Jordan, 15 years in the league, and still doing it at a high level.
06:41You know, he talked about the fact to us that last year he played inside,
06:45did not like it, did not have the production he's used to.
06:49He's back on the edge.
06:50And I'm telling you what, this guy still has that pass rush ability,
06:55still playing at an exceptionally high level.
06:58And only plays 53% of the time, usually on just a third down.
07:02On first down, he comes up big with a sack as Robinson's looking for room
07:06and a good tackle around the waist.
07:09Alante Taylor from his defensive back position.
07:16Love Alante Taylor, down by the line of scrimmage.
07:19That's what he does.
07:20And he's mirroring Robinson right here.
07:23So he comes back in there, loops around, kind of almost like an orbit.
07:26He's in man-to-man coverage when he was outside.
07:29So he's just following him inside between the tackles.
07:32Alante Taylor, hey, tackling that guy right there,
07:36Bajon Robinson, could be the key to this game.
07:42Third and 15, Cousins will dump it off to Bajon Robinson.
07:46Nice move.
07:47And he's down to the 35, and they'll spot him around the 33.
07:51It will be a fourth down called Jonah Williams made the tackle.
07:55Now, it's interesting, Atlanta had only allowed 22 sacks,
08:00tied for second-fewest in the league coming in.
08:02Saints already have two against Raheem Morris and this Atlanta offense.
08:06And passing up a field goal try, they're going to go for it
08:10from just beyond the 32.
08:13It would be about a 52-yard try.
08:21Unless they're just trying to draw him off.
08:23Nope, they're going.
08:25Cousins, nice catch for a first down.
08:29Kyle Pitts across the middle.
08:37I just want to get into this bunch formation on the outside
08:40and then make sure they hit that crosser in the middle.
08:45You see London right there in motion.
08:47Find your crosser.
08:48The tight end, Pitts, who's just been exceptional here
08:51in the last four or five weeks using that big body right on the body.
08:56And that's one thing that Kirk's cousins told us and talked to us about.
08:59Kirk said, hey, man, he's a guy you want to throw into his body,
09:02let him run and catch the ball, run after the catch as well.
09:05Pitts leads the team in receptions as Robinson again tackled right away
09:09as he got to the 21-yard line.
09:11Worth mentioning, an illness, a little flu bug illness spreading around late yesterday.
09:18Kirk Cousins was one of those on that list along with A.J. Terrell
09:22and a few other Falcons, but they have all given it a go today.
09:27And hopefully that's not a factor throughout the afternoon for the Falcons
09:30or for Panther fans rooting for the Falcons.
09:36And Buck fans hoping for a New Orleans winner tie
09:39so that they'll get the NFC South Division title.
09:47Cousins with a quick toss wide open.
09:50Gets at the 15, Darnell Mooney.
09:52Well, that's the beauty of having a veteran quarterback.
09:58You see access corners off, and I'm talking about way off.
10:02Just get it out of your hands.
10:03That's one way to stop.
10:05One way to stop that pass rush is get that ball out of your hands quickly.
10:10You'd love to see Mooney turn that up and get the first down.
10:13Third and a yard, that's all they need.
10:15And Robinson will get it with ease.
10:17First, franchise record, leading the NFL in scrimmage yards.
10:26He is just so entertaining and getting better, it seems like,
10:30with each season the way he's being used.
10:32I think one of the cool things, talking to the Atlanta Falcons,
10:36they talk about how he was never a wide zone guy,
10:39and that's what they want to do,
10:41that wide stretch play to either the right or the left-hand side.
10:44He said he didn't run it in college, so it's something new for him.
10:49And, boy, I tell you what,
10:50he has been so good at adopting to that or adapting to that.
10:55Cousins.
10:56And the ball is out, and the Saints have it.
11:03Carl Granderson, who had a sack, was involved in a sack a moment ago,
11:07comes up with a loose football, and the Saints celebrate.
11:13A little sloppy here with fumbles, an exchange of loose footballs,
11:18but was this a pass and then fumbled?
11:21It was actually an interception by Granderson coming up with a big catch.
11:31All right, so Bijan Robinson, they're going to run a little fake screen to him.
11:34This is Pitts over here, and you're going to see Granderson retrace his steps
11:40when he feels the screen.
11:41He feels it right about here.
11:43He says, uh-uh, I smell something ratty.
11:46He gets out, gets underneath that throw on the screen.
11:49Beautiful job by Granderson.
11:51You want to talk about just having a feel for what they're trying to do to you.
11:55Excellent by the defense.
11:58And first down.
12:01Estime will go nowhere.
12:02Odrick Estime, this offense, as we mentioned,
12:06Alvin Kamara has been out for a while.
12:08They're down to their third and fourth string running backs.
12:11Chris Olave with a blood clot discovered in his lung this week,
12:15had to go to the hospital, but he's out now.
12:17Kevin Austin is out as well.
12:19So it's essentially almost half of the special teams players
12:22were not even here at the start of the season.
12:24Yeah, and I'm looking for them to run a lot of two-tied-in,
12:27three-tied-in formations.
12:28They're down a couple of wide receivers.
12:30Jawan Johnson should be the go-to guy.
12:33And he dumps it off to Estime.
12:36And Odrick Estime will get across the 25-yard line.
12:40Well, the rookie from Tennessee, James Pierce,
12:43has eight-and-a-half sacks on this Falcon defense.
12:45And we mentioned Watts already, another rookie,
12:48who leaves the team with five interceptions.
12:50And he had to fumble earlier before Granderson,
12:53his career, first career interception for the Saints.
12:56And that's my guy right there.
12:59Jesse Bates is all over.
13:01He orchestrates this defense.
13:04Short of the first down, it'll be a fourth down coming up
13:07as Ronnie Bell, one of those reserve receivers,
13:11makes the catch.
13:15Remember, they traded Rasheed Shaheen to Seattle.
13:19Brandon Cooks was let go, who has latched on with Buffalo.
13:23Those were guys that were receivers at the start of the year
13:25for Kellen Moore's team.
13:27Spencer Rattler, who is inactive today,
13:29won the starting quarterback job until Tyler Shook,
13:34second-round pick, took over and has sparked this team.
13:37Devon Tompkins back for the punt of Kai Kroger,
13:43the rookie from South Carolina.
13:50He's got it, and he's tackled right away at the 26-yard line.
13:55Jordan Howden.
13:57The turnovers didn't hurt anybody.
13:58We're still scoreless at Atlanta.
14:01It's been a great rivalry here in the NFC South,
14:03one of the best in football, the Falcons and the Saints.
14:06Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, knockdown, slugfest.
14:10These teams don't like each other.
14:11No matter what these two teams' records were,
14:14it was always going to be a battle.
14:19An intense rivalry, in fact, so intense,
14:22this 113th regular season beating, it's even.
14:26Each has won 56 times.
14:29They first met back in 1967.
14:32Falcons looking for their first sweep of the series since 2016.
14:36Cousins with time.
14:43And a low throw, diving for it.
14:46Drake London, but couldn't hang on.
14:56Drake London doing everything he can to work back to that ball,
14:59but just a little bit low,
15:02and I think that's one of the things coming off the Achilles from a couple of years ago.
15:07You've seen a little bit of that arm talent wane.
15:10Not that Kirk Cousins was ever built on total arm talent,
15:14but it's not quite what it used to be.
15:15Of course, he's 37 as well,
15:17so that will take away some of that arm talent, Chris.
15:20But he says he feels great and plans to play on beyond next year
15:24as he's in trouble again.
15:26Already sacked twice.
15:27Unloading from the sideline.
15:29Here comes a flag in the secondary.
15:32Kirk Cousins just trying to survive back there.
15:34Prior to the pass, holding defense, number one.
15:47Five-yard cuddly from the previous spot.
15:49Automatic first step.
15:51Alotte Taylor called for the penalty.
15:54Well, he's in the nickel,
15:56and he's going to hold Sills,
15:58who's coming across on an in-cutting route.
16:01You see him on the shoulder,
16:02grab him a little bit right there,
16:04goes to the ground,
16:05and there's Brandon Staley.
16:09He's done an outstanding job,
16:10former head coach of the Chargers,
16:12as the Saints' first-year defensive coordinator.
16:14It's the eighth straight game, by the way,
16:15that this team, this defense,
16:17has had at least one takeaway
16:18after the Granderson pick.
16:20A penalty there sets the Falcons up
16:22as Bajon Robinson is trying to get going,
16:25but the Saints chase young on that tackle.
16:28What did Brandon Staley say?
16:30You have to get to him
16:32before his engine starts running.
16:34Referring to Bajon Robinson.
16:35Yeah, for sure,
16:36and what a great job right there by Chase Young.
16:39That's really where he's become.
16:41So much better, Chris,
16:42is in run defense,
16:44and not just having flash plays,
16:45but being consistent right there.
16:48They're trying to crack him
16:49with a receiver on the outside.
16:51He reads it instantly,
16:52sheds that block,
16:54makes the tackle in the backfield,
16:55big-time play by Chase.
16:57Career resurgence for him.
17:00It's Tyler out here looking for room,
17:02and he'll get across the 37-yard line
17:05of Atlanta bringing up a third down.
17:08This Saints defense, by the way,
17:10they haven't allowed a 100-yard receiver
17:12in 22 straight games,
17:14and they haven't allowed this season
17:15a 300-yard passer.
17:16And defense going up against Cousins,
17:20who has been hot during this three-game win streak,
17:22just suffering his fifth interception of this season
17:25a little earlier in this game.
17:28We'll see if they walk up like they've been doing,
17:31create some one-on-one opportunities.
17:33Here they come to the line of scrimmage.
17:34Neat five.
17:41Cousins with a quick toss, incomplete.
17:44Trying to get it to London.
17:47Kool-Aid McKinstry on the coverage.
17:52Defending passes now in six of the last seven games
17:54and doing it well.
17:55Just watch him cut through this, right?
17:58This is a natural rub route from the inside.
18:01Watch him cut through this flat-foot read,
18:03understands quick game is coming,
18:06does a great job of avoiding that traffic,
18:09and breaks on that football.
18:11Can't be done better than McKinstry just did.
18:18Binion got a good punt last time.
18:20The bounced and rolled all the way inside the 10,
18:22not just the 20.
18:26And he gets it away.
18:29A high kick.
18:30It's Hines again, who had trouble last time,
18:33will let it go again and get away from it.
18:37And back inside the 10.
18:41Tough starting spot for the New Orleans offense,
18:44but the New Orleans defense, so far so good,
18:47and frustration for the Falcon offense.

19:08And what's at stake for the division title?
19:10Again, one of those quirky things.
19:11You could have a three-way tie atop.
19:13Fans interested not only here, but again, a Saints winner tie puts the Bucs in as division champs.
19:20If the Falcons win, then Carolina.
19:22What a story that would be, a Panther turnaround season, if they end up winning the division.
19:2652-yard punt, they spot it at the 11th, said it was first touched there.
19:31And a good one by Pinyon, pinning the Saints back as Odrick Estame tries to get going and will pick up a few.
19:40I like the plan here, though.
19:42Come back out.
19:43You're still on your original script.
19:44You've only had, that was your fifth play from scrimmage.
19:47Get out there in jumbo.
19:48Bring an extra offensive lineman in, an extra tight end in.
19:52Let's wear down this front.
19:54One thing about Atlanta, they can rush the passer.
19:56And they are athletic, but they're not the biggest front.
19:59So I want to lean into that, lean into those guys, and see if I can wear them out a little bit as a defensive line.
20:06Yeah, the Saints have 37 10-point drives this year.
20:10That came in tight for most in the NFL with Dallas.
20:14Tyler Schuch from the pocket.
20:16And, oh, he was open in the middle, but a hesitation there.
20:19And that is for Kevin Austin.
20:21And, again, that might be part of, as he said, some receivers he's thrown to when he was on the practice squad.
20:29And then there are others that he just has thrown to this week.
20:31And now watch this, because this is where it always starts, right?
20:34Oh, you don't see it right there.
20:35Sorry about that.
20:36Here's the route.
20:37Little high-low combination.
20:39But want your running backs?
20:41You want to get physical on that defensive line?
20:43Get a little ship on there.
20:45Slow those guys down as pass rushers.
20:46Make them put their heads on swivels.
20:49That's how it starts.
20:50And Schuch will throw and knock away at the 25, trying for Kevin Austin.
20:56And C.J. Henderson, the corner opposite Terrell, made the play for Atlanta.
21:00Let's get a game break on this final regular season Sunday here and check in with Carissa Thompson.
21:05Let's do it, Chris.
21:06Jags trying to clinch the division and possibly that one seed.
21:09Trevor Lawrence hits Parker Washington for the 23-yard score.
21:12Jags tightens tight at seven, though.
21:14Titans QB, Cam Ward, questionable return with a shoulder injury.
21:19Chris?
21:20Thanks for that update.
21:21Cam Ward, the rookie, took every snap, the first overall pick.
21:24And, of course, the Texans who are trailing at the moment, hoping that they could win and a Jacksonville loss will change things at the top of the South Division in the AFC.
21:32And it's deflected here, drops inside the 10, and the Falcons are on it.
21:42It'll be first and goal for Atlanta.
21:45Big special teams play.
21:46Big special teams play.
22:16That's the execution and the Atlanta Falcons.
22:19Oh, yeah, go ahead.
22:20Garfield then.
22:21A little backflip.
22:23Oh, my God.
22:24Is this guy a former gymnast?
22:26Like, what are we doing?
22:27That was a great round off.
22:29Showing off his athletic skill for Kai Kroger, the rookie, his second block in his pro career.
22:36This is a big one.
22:37Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
23:07Well when Robinson makes that dramatic cut because here's here's where the holds going to happen but he makes a huge cut because of the flow right there of 56 DeMario Davis so Robinson goes I'm gonna go out this way and you can see the jersey stretch right there because Bergeron is not expecting that wide he's supposed to go back to the opposite hole but that's what DeMario Davis does he creates
23:37an opportunity for the other guys to have success he is so good at that you're a fan and I know he leads the team and he tackles he's a top 10 tackler this year even when he doesn't make the play he forces others into making mistakes and that's a timeout Atlanta
23:53that was great talking with I know we're not seeing it yet because of this New Orleans defense but the John Robinson this season we mentioned the scrimmage yards coming into today leading the NFL that's a franchise record 31 broken tackles third most in the league and he's 40 percent of this offense and I know some have compared him to Barry Sanders market when you asked him hey how do you feel about it he said not there yet but he was my favorite player and he is my favorite player.
24:22Well there was there was two guys I ever got up off the bench to watch play when I was a player one Joe Montana because he was absolutely surgical the other Barry Sanders I would pay to watch B. John Robinson play in the National Football League he's that dynamic and lined up in the backfield with Tyler Algier and that's Drake London going to the top of your screen.
24:44Cousins firing for the end zone and knocked away at the last moment it was for Darnell Mooney.
24:55Wincing Riley the rookie from Louisville was not the coverage and this is just an opportunity right here on these two guys to get a one-on-one right you put all three of your best receivers on the opposite side and see if you can attack the rookie corner and what a great job he does.
25:12So coming over the top right there getting his hand in that but that is a game plan specific we're putting London over there we're putting B. John Robinson over there put pits over there going to get the one-on-one opposite.
25:24David Sills is the sure-handed receiver at least him and Cousins have booked up he's at the bottom of your screen as Cousins has a lot of time and throws for the end zone that's a touchdown Falcons Drake London all alone sitting back there.
25:40He's back there over USC star at high school Moorpark Musketeer California in Ventura County and he gets the Falcons on the board.
25:50Well if you're gonna have that kind of time somebody's gonna come open miscommunication in the back end of this defense because I guarantee you one thing everybody was talking about is we got to stop number five because Drake London is that big time a player.
26:05They drop him in coverage he just works himself across you see Taylor jumping Mooney and nobody picks up Drake London and the rest is history.
26:12And the extra point by Zane Gonzalez is good and so are the Falcons and at the moment so are the Panthers who needed Atlanta win to win the NFC South.
26:30It started with the block punt and that Cousins overcoming an earlier pick to London and seven nothing Falcons.
26:38All right I want you to watch Elante Taylor right here and the safety because they're both going to jump the fake on the in cutting route.
26:47So they're both going to sit there and they're going to both jump Mooney coming across right here.
26:51And meanwhile you've got Drake you've got London Drake London going across the formation.
26:58Nobody grabs him and that is going to be the easiest touchdown of Kirk Cousins season right there.
27:04Yeah he had a lot of time to deliver that 298 touchdown pass in the career of Kirk Cousins and bringing it out is Evan Hull back on the return team the backup running back.
27:16Finally some better starting position for the Saints as he gets across the 26 yard line.
27:23The veteran on one side the rookie on the other at the quarterback position and look at the numbers since he became the starter not only the wins at five and three comparing to some of the other rookie quarterbacks.
27:37So you heard the update about Cam Ward who had taken every snap and had a good touchdown interception ratio for the Titans who left that game injured.
27:45Yeah of the year would he get your vote.
27:47I would never vote for a quarterback.
27:49Okay.
27:50You can't vote for alignment.
27:51Yeah I would.
27:52I could vote for like Grace Abel's been great Seattle.
27:54You watch that game last night.
27:56Well Seattle's defense was outstanding as estimate gets near a first down.
28:03Jen.
28:04Chris had a chance to visit with Drew Brees last night of course Saints legend and now our colleague calling the game down in Jacksonville.
28:11And he just was poetic about Tyler Shuck.
28:13He said what impresses him so much is his poise in the pocket the way he steps up into the throw.
28:19He said you usually see most rookies try to escape left or right.
28:23But Tyler has no fear no qualms about standing in there like a Wiley veteran.
28:28Also Drew gave him a lot of advice while he was still the backup.
28:32And Drew told me he was so impressed with Tyler's attitude of gratitude and that it resonates with his teammates.
28:38Yeah I thought you know it was interesting that and any words from Drew Brees obviously on his way to the Hall of Fame about a quarterback you pay close attention to.
28:46But Kellen Moore said the two things that Tyler improved on the most from the start of the year when he first took over the leadership.
28:53The running the show in and out of the huddle with his teammates and then obviously maneuvering the pocket.
28:58You heard some of that as it related to his decision making.
29:01He's got the arm.
29:02He's got the size.
29:03He's got the attitude.
29:05That's to be looking to try and get the first down.
29:08It's going to be third down after getting shoved back.
29:11There was an injury a moment ago.
29:13It was Kobe Bryant the Falcons who left injured.
29:17Yeah.
29:18And that great drive started right there but right on the hip to the side of the helmet.
29:23And that's where they get you.
29:24And you can see Kobe Bryant struggling to get off the field.
29:29Obviously in that blue medical tent as they've taken him in there and taking a look.
29:33Speaking of the hip.
29:34Tyler's shot was on the injury report for a sore hip.
29:39Said he's OK as long as he doesn't land on it.
29:42Third down two.
29:43Big moment for the Saints offense.
29:45Try to respond.
29:47Throwing for it.
29:48Floating for the tight end.
29:49And a one handed grab by Jawan Johnson.
29:53And that deserves a stare and a wow.
29:56Well they just have the slot fade going on right on the outside.
30:01They're going to run the smash.
30:02And then they're going to run that fade ball to Johnson.
30:06And remember man.
30:07He came out as a college free agent out of Oregon.
30:10He was a wide receiver.
30:11He's worked his butt off to get him a tight end and a viable blocker.
30:15But he has those receiving skills.
30:16And you saw it there first hand.
30:18Pick up of 28 yards.
30:19This is Dante Pettis on a quick toss.
30:22D. Alford making the tackle.
30:24Yeah he was working against Jesse Bates.
30:26But that catch.
30:27I don't know if anybody could have covered that.
30:29That was.
30:30That was great.
30:31And there is no.
30:32They always say this.
30:33You quarterbacks.
30:34There is no defense for the perfectly thrown ball.
30:37That ball couldn't have been more perfect.
30:39And that starts right from the huddle right.
30:41That starts from knowing what the coverage is.
30:44Understanding where I'm going to get my one on one.
30:46And taking my shot.
30:4875th catch for Jelan Johnson.
30:50That ties Jimmy Graham for most ever.
30:53By a Saint tight end of the season.
30:57After one yard loss the blitz.
30:59Chuck.
31:02And he is.
31:03Looked like he faked it.
31:04It was sacked right at the 47 by Catavia Street.
31:1354th sack of the season for Atlanta.
31:15Well great.
31:16Great.
31:17Great.
31:18I mean first off.
31:19Great blitz pickup.
31:20And then he wants to throw the tight end over the middle of the field.
31:24But it gets shut down.
31:25And he decides no.
31:26I'm better off.
31:28Taking the sack.
31:29You gotta have.
31:30I mean big.
31:31Strong hands.
31:32To have that much action.
31:33And not let that ball go.
31:35You gotta go.
31:36You gotta go.
31:37You gotta go.
31:38You gotta go.
31:39Yeah.
31:40The Atlanta Falcons.
31:41Quite a dramatic turnaround.
31:43That's the end of the first quarter.
31:45A block punt sets up Atlanta.
31:47For a touchdown.
31:48Tyler Shuck.
31:49And the Saints.
31:50Trying to stay on the move.
31:52Mark Slareth.
31:53Chris Byers.
31:54And we ride on the backs like everyday.
31:57Mark Slareth.
31:58Chris Byers.
31:59Matt Hale.
32:00Start of the second quarter.
32:01Around a third.
32:02And 18.
32:03What do you do if you're.
32:04The Saints here.
32:05You're not allowed a third and 18 plays.
32:06But this is a three point play.
32:08Because you've gotta get about nine yards.
32:10To give yourself a legitimate field goal opportunity.
32:12So that's really what you're looking for here Chris.
32:14Yeah.
32:15At least 10 yards will give you a 54 yard try.
32:18Chuck is up.
32:19This will come to an end in a hurry.
32:21It's against the Saints.
32:22False start.
32:24Offense.
32:25Number 75.
32:26Five yard penalty.
32:27Still third down.
32:28Now you're looking for 14 yards Chris.
32:31Yeah.
32:32No longer nine yards.
32:33More like 14 now.
32:35Taliesse Fuaga.
32:36The.
32:37Second year player from Oregon State.
32:40And.
32:41It's Kobe Bryant walking off the field.
32:43Yeah.
32:44Who was on the sideline in the tent a moment ago.
32:47As you pointed out.
32:48That's not encouraging.
32:49Remember Mike Hughes was put on injured reserve.
32:51This week for Atlanta.
32:52So.
32:53Little thin in there.
32:54And Clark Phillips is inactive.
32:55With that illness that was going around.
32:57Chuck needs something.
32:58Goes underneath.
32:59That's Taysom Hill gets.
33:00The inside the 40.
33:01Check the exact spot.
33:02And you might be looking at.
33:03See if they're going to try a field goal.
33:04Because Charlie Smith and what a great story this has been.
33:05Saints kicker for the last five games after he debuted in Miami with a 56 yarder.
33:10The goalkeeper.
33:11The goalkeeper.
33:12Who played Gaelic football.
33:13And.
33:14He made.
33:15From 60 plus in the pregame warmup.
33:16This will be 56.
33:17To try and get the Saints on the board.
33:21Charlie Smith will sail this one off the mark.
33:28Nothing.
33:29Atlanta defense makes it difficult.
33:31And.
33:32The Falcons.
33:33Keep the shutout going.
33:34And.
33:35The Falcons.
33:36Keep the shutout going.
33:37At seven to nothing.
33:38From long range.
33:39Saints are off the mark.
33:40Here in the second quarter.
33:41The good news continues for Panthers watching.
33:44This measure keeping at seven City is late at San Francisco relates to Southern Vancouver,
33:46Kentucky South Carolina.
33:48And.
33:49Потому.
33:50I haven't tried to count up all the respondres.
33:51Right?
33:52On that side.
33:53And.
33:54It's nothing that.
33:55They're running for Michigan for down the top left.
33:56�S uses-ups.
33:57That.
33:58Not for them as talking about the court among and the bad élect tree.
33:59And.
34:00Play out.
34:01�ng
34:06At.
34:06On that backdrop of the Michigan.

34:39Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
35:09Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
35:39Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok
36:09Now London's got such a great feel
36:12You're just running in
36:13Just getting in this space
36:15In the zone
36:16Working past the safety
36:17Just trying to get out here
36:19To take away the outside route
36:20And just settle yourself down
36:23Nice and easy
36:24Give your quarterback that target
36:26Go make a play
36:28Pickup of 11
36:30Inside the 38 of New Orleans
36:3512 minutes before the half
36:38Robinson and Algier
36:40Work so well together as teammates in the backfield together
36:44It's Bajon Robinson and gliding his way for a first down and a strong pickup to the 25
36:51I just watch Bajon's feet
36:57Just check him out
36:58The patience
36:59Watch these feet work together
37:01Bam
37:02He's bam
37:03Right there
37:04But look at how his balance
37:05He's over those feet at all times
37:08His body never gets outside his feet
37:11That's why he's got such exceptional balance
37:13And he told us, Chris
37:15Hey man, I work on crazy drills in the offseason
37:18To make sure I can make
37:20Can have that kind of balance
37:21And that ability to keep my body centered over my feet
37:25And what a delight to talk to
37:27He really
37:27Oh, what a good kid
37:29With a warm smile and appreciation
37:31As Cousins from the pocket will dump it off
37:34That's Algier
37:35And he gets out of bounds
37:37Time for another game break with Carissa
37:39Thank you, Chris
37:41Jags Titans tied at 7
37:42Until Trevor Lawrence throws his second touchdown
37:45The first half
37:46This one to Brenton Strange from 7 yards out
37:48Jags lead 14-7 over the Titans
37:50Chris
37:51All right, one of the great stories
37:53Liam Cohen, the rookie head coach
37:55Raheem Morris
37:56He said his second year rookie head coach
37:58On the Saints sideline
38:00So many first-year head coaches
38:03That have made a difference this year
38:04Kellen Moore
38:064-0 in December
38:08Trying to close out the season
38:11With another Saints victory
38:13Robinson checks into the backfield
38:15Dancing
38:15And Cousins will throw
38:17Short of the first out and knocked away
38:19Great one than the target
38:21Good defensive play by McKinstry
38:24That's the second time, man
38:27He's just playing flat foot read
38:29He's reading the drop of the quarterback
38:32He's like, this is quick game drop
38:34Watch him
38:34Eyeballing into the quarterback right here
38:37He sees how quick those feet are
38:38He knows he doesn't have to open up his hips
38:40He's just gonna sit there
38:42Flat footed
38:43Put his foot in the ground
38:44Attack the route
38:45Great job
38:47We've seen him do that twice today
38:49In big stops
38:50Third and seven
38:57Cousins
38:57Ball's out
38:59His hand was going forward
39:00Not ruled
39:01Is not ruled an incompletion
39:03That's a fumble at the moment
39:04And Alante Taylor comes up with a recovery
39:07We'll take a closer look
39:10Let's see if there's a ruling of incomplete now
39:13One official said fumble
39:14The other
39:15Waved late
39:17That's
39:19That's
39:20That's too close to call
39:22Might have to go to our rules analysts
39:24Yeah, they're waving
39:25Now they're waving it off
39:27See the hands go
39:27But the ball's out
39:28Right there
39:29It's still on his hand
39:32As the hand goes forward
39:33So that could be challenged
39:34And that's what we're gonna get
39:36Because they
39:37It seemed like they even flip-flopped on the ruling
39:39As Torbert
39:41Will take a look
39:42And maybe they're gonna say
39:43An expedited
39:44Challenge the ruling in the field
39:45Of an incomplete forward
39:47We always talk about
39:50You know, does he have the ball
39:51In the open hand going forward
39:53But you can see
39:54You make the judgments at home
39:56We'll get the official ruling
39:58After the challenge
39:59All right, after some confusion
40:02On the initial ruling
40:03They did say incomplete
40:05Challenged
40:06And they're staying with the call
40:07On the field
40:08Mike Pereira watching this closely
40:09Mike, how did you see it?
40:11Yeah, I agree with staying with the call
40:13Just listening to you and Mark
40:14It was like
40:15Okay, I think the hand has started
40:17Well, I don't know
40:18Is it rolling out of his hand?
40:19Lots of I don't knows
40:21And remember, it has to be
40:22It has to be clear and obvious
40:24And so to me
40:25The best part of replay
40:26They get a look
40:27If it's not total and clear
40:29Leave it as it is
40:30And in this case
40:31Incomplete
40:32All right, and I know you've been
40:33On this side of things
40:34When they stay with the call
40:35Just because it was called that way
40:36It favors that
40:37So it kind of detracts a little bit
40:40From looking at the replay
40:41Meanwhile, the field goal is up
40:44And good by Zane Gonzalez
40:46From 40 yards away
40:48And at 10-0
40:50Falcon lead
40:51I like that Raheem Morris was like
41:00You know, there's no resting guys
41:02Load management
41:03We're trying to win games
41:04Saints felt the same way
41:06Every guy out there
41:08Who's healthy enough
41:08Is playing
41:09Is giving it his best
41:10Even though these two teams
41:12Yeah, there's always something
41:13To play for
41:13Winning, you're losing
41:14You're getting a paycheck
41:15But in terms of the playoffs
41:17They're deciding
41:18Whether it's Carolina going
41:20Or Tampa Bay
41:22I always think that
41:24The way you finish a season
41:26The pride that you play with
41:28The way you pay attention
41:31To details
41:31When things don't really
41:33Matter for you
41:34In the long run
41:35We all know this is your last game
41:36I'm impressed with both teams
41:38And the way both teams
41:39Have approached
41:40This end of the year
41:42And how hard they played
41:43Four straight wins
41:44For New Orleans
41:45Three straight for
41:45For obviously Atlanta
41:47Yeah, and I asked Kirk Cousins
41:49About what he liked most
41:50About this team
41:51You know, and he
41:51He said that it was
41:53You know, we were struggling
41:54And we not
41:55Nobody gave up
41:56Nobody threw in the towel
41:57Nobody mailed it in
41:58And we've seen that
42:00Especially in their last three games
42:01And a chance to get to 8-9
42:03And create
