01:59He's a yard short, third and one
02:02Josh Allen, this is the, he has to his watch, he's gonna look, and then he's gonna throw it there, and then boom, they're there, then back to there, moving the defense, especially in this situation.
02:16There they go, push him ahead, and it looks like he's got the first, which will be the fourth time, it is the first, fourth time, that has worked in four attempts.
02:26Yeah, Josh Allen, 12 rushes today, O'Nicks, eight committed runs by the, really the Broncos for the quarterback, this is more of him scrambling, I know, just push.
02:39See this graphic here, they were down 21 to New England on the road, and one, that's right, they were down 15 at home against Baltimore week one with six minutes to go in one.
02:48They also were down double digits to Cincinnati in the second half, and one.
02:56First and ten.
02:57Again, oh, what a hit by Rufunga, on Knox, who somehow held on for an eight-yard game.
03:06Oh, he's gonna be chipping, helping out, and then, Rufunga!
03:17Fortunate, though, I mean, that is a hit.
03:20That's why they went and got him in Greenlaw, because they felt like they didn't have these guys to hit Buffalo last year in that playoff game, got ran all over, they needed some physical toughness, a little more, they got it.
03:31As Joseph says, when he comes to the party, talking about Rufunga, his presence is felt, look at Cook, making his presence felt as he had to re-clutch the football, with Locke trying to strip it away from him, a rush of 11, and again, a Buffalo first down.
03:48You're gonna get the guard, he's gonna come over and pull inside, and Cook just feels it and takes it off like a dart, and this is the formation I want them to be in a little bit more, that I formation under center.
03:57It gets Denver in base and calms down all the blitzing and the pass rushing, then you can take your shots after running it.
04:06Joseph's not happy with that.
04:09Cook takes a breather.
04:11He's got 13 carries, 70 yards.
04:17In the red zone.
04:19Pressure.
04:20Has a lane, and...
04:23Fourth catch of the game for Shakir, goes for nine.
04:25Big-time tackle by Riley Moss.
04:27This is all-out pressure.
04:29They're coming after him, so you have the whole field to cover, and Riley Moss saves a touchdown by extending out and tackling Shakir.
04:39Yeah, he had Knox down there, ready to throw a block on Sertan.
04:43And now, Buffalo comes to the line.
04:46Cook returns.
04:47If you had a short yardage one, second down would be a nice one to go use the fake tush push and toss it or something.
04:53Well, it's just second and one.
04:56They saw Keon Coleman is in here.
05:01Convain on a wing.
05:02Quick toss.
05:03It's Coleman.
05:04Sidesteps the defender and slides in for the touchdown.
05:07Keon Coleman had a big catch last week at Jacksonville, and today he scores on a desperately needed drive for the Buffalo Bills.
05:20Yeah, he had the drop earlier.
05:22There was a penalty.
05:22Double clutched this, but this was no bigger play to extend and score.
05:27That is a touchdown, and boy, did he need that.
05:30That's why you stay in it all year mentally.
05:33You get in the doghouse a little bit, but you never know when your opportunity's coming, and nothing's bigger for Buffalo today than that.
05:39So, Prater with the extra point, and the kick is good.
05:48Make it a six-point lead now for Denver.
05:52Allen hit his last five passes on that drive.
05:55What a kick.
05:57Keon Coleman delivers a touchdown for the Bills.
06:01Much needed.
06:01That is Texas.
06:07Nationwide.
06:08Nationwide is on your side.
06:12And by Bud Light.
06:14If you drink, don't drive.
06:16Decide to ride.
06:20We're talking about all these comebacks, and the Bronco fans certainly were eyewitnesses to some amazing comebacks.
06:25Denver oftentimes fell behind, so they technically have 12 comeback wins this year, an NFL record.
06:32Denver's, they had a couple of them that were, we saw in Philadelphia, they came down 14 down in the fourth quarter to beat the Eagles.
06:40And then here they scored 33 points in the fourth quarter against the Giants in a crazy comeback.
06:44So, both of these teams know how to respond.
06:46No question.
06:47They're battle-tested.
06:48I think Denver really has shown, like, okay, Bo Nix is that guy.
06:51He can go down and do it.
06:52We saw Josh Allen just take him down the field there.
06:53But this is the real test.
06:55There's two nerves in these playoff games like this.
06:57The first one is to start the game, and how you handle that.
07:00He's already shown that he's been able to handle that.
07:02The second one is in the fourth quarter as this game continues to get close, and how you handle that with your season always right on the line.
07:09And it's like, he showed the first one.
07:12Now he's got an opportunity to do number two.
07:13You're going to get a lot of nerves in that final quarter.
07:16You're not kidding me.
07:17For these teams and their fan bases.
07:19Yes.
07:20Trust me.
07:21Coming after him now.
07:23I'm telling you the second half.
07:24Pass incomplete.
07:26The pressure influenced that one.
07:28We said it before the end of the first.
07:30Let's go down to Trace.
07:31Jim, you see safety Cam Lewis back out there.
07:34He was dealing with cramping at the end of that first half.
07:37Got an IV.
07:37But the altitude is a real thing here.
07:40Buffalo this week didn't want to make a big deal of it.
07:42But the players did use an altitude chamber.
07:45They hydrated as much as possible.
07:47And I can tell you this Bulls offensive line has been sucking oxygen all game.
07:51James Cook as well.
07:52It's something to watch as they get deeper into this game.
07:55Okay.
07:55We'll be looking for that.
07:56Thank you, Trace.
07:57Lewis had a good first half and missed that touchdown before the intermission
08:03because he was injured.
08:04There's Milano on Harvey.
08:06And Bishop comes over to assist.
08:09And they hold him to about five.
08:11Yeah, to trace his point, though, I think it shows.
08:14Right now, you've got to substitute a little bit here and there.
08:18And you've got to have your backups come in and play well.
08:20Savage didn't get it done when Cam Lewis went out.
08:23But you're still playing really hard.
08:24This drive, this is it, Bo, right here.
08:28These third downs.
08:29He did an incredible job at the end of the first half.
08:31Again, they've got to keep doing it.
08:33They lost Pat Bryan on the first drive.
08:35Out with a concussion.
08:36And now it's confirmed that Troy Franklin hamstring will not return.
08:39So they're down two important players on the outside.
08:42Which is why I'm going to play a man-to-man and play tight coverage.
08:45Drop one of these safeties in.
08:47Him or him.
08:49On third and five.
08:50Bill is rushed four.
08:52Pass is intercepted.
08:54Oh, look at one of the linemen just jump up and take it out of the air.
09:02It's Walker.
09:03Yeah, Walker the rookie.
09:07This is going to be fake pressure from the left.
09:10And this is why I talk about the nerves as the game.
09:12And then they come from the right side.
09:14Fake from the left, come from the right.
09:16And you think someone's coming, so you've got to throw it.
09:18And you didn't have to.
09:20That's just that tension that builds up inside of you that Bo has handled so well today.
09:24There's no one around him.
09:26You don't need to throw this ball right now.
09:28There wasn't a whole lot there.
09:30It was intercepted by two people.
09:30Right.
09:31Vanessa had advantage for that football on Ingram.
09:35And it got past Walker.
09:36So, look how fast this thing has turned.
09:39That is the challenge at the quarterback position.
09:41It's just handling your emotions, the mental state.
09:44But there's a lot of game left.
09:45Reset.
09:47Taken over at the 36.
09:53One pass behind the line of scrimmage.
09:55And the Broncos are wise to it.
09:57Macmillan made the play on Shakir, who caught seven passes last week behind the line of scrimmage
10:05and 12 overall.
10:06They were effective.
10:07This one wasn't.
10:08They were because that team plays more vision on the quarterback's zone coverage.
10:12These guys, a lot more man uptight on you.
10:15It's going to be tougher.
10:18You were talking nerves and how you'd have to see it and how it was handled right before
10:24that interception was thrown.
10:25Yeah, you're right.
10:26And Josh Allen went through him when he was younger, too.
10:29And now, all of a sudden, you're seeing him be the poised veteran after he had two turnovers
10:33of his own.
10:34You've got to be able to put that aside and come back.
10:36Second and 14.
10:39Deep ball.
10:40Down the field.
10:41And he is intercepted by Locke.
10:43Locke jumps right in front of the receiver and takes it right back for the Denver Broncos.
10:50He was at 200 consecutive passes in the postseason without being intercepted before this throw.
11:01Josh Allen tries to pump it.
11:04No.
11:04Back to Denver.
11:05Turbo tax.
11:11We've had four total turnovers committed by these teams in the last 10 minutes and seven
11:17seconds of game time.
11:19Three of those turnovers committed by Buffalo.
11:21As Allen was trying to hit Curtis Samuel inside the 10-yard line.
11:25Here's play action.
11:29Mix pulling it in the direction of Troutman.
11:33Incomplete.
11:34And here's the adjustment.
11:35Buffalo's blitzing off the edge.
11:37But here's the interception.
11:38Hufanga did a great job of not biting on the play fakes.
11:42And that made Josh Allen have to throw it inside.
11:45And that's why Locke was able to come flying in and intercept that.
11:49Just, I give the credit for Hufanga on that one.
11:51But Josh Allen's got to calm his stuff right now.
11:54Trying to get too much too quick.
11:55Locke did not become a starter until December 21st.
11:58But Brandon Jones went out for the season with an injury.
12:00Here's Bishop.
12:01Running over laterally to make the tackle at the 40-yard line.
12:06Gloughlin held to a short gain.
12:08And now it's third down on the way for Denver.
12:11And this is where Sean Payton needs to be prepared.
12:12They're coming after him on every play.
12:15Whether it's a run or pass.
12:16And I think right now you've got to help the quarterback.
12:19Just run a double slam.
12:21Throw something that's like, hey, if they get down in here, take a shot downfield.
12:24But I wouldn't want him to progress and read this out.
12:27This is going to be the toughest look he's seen all day.
12:32Third and eight.
12:35Pass.
12:35Over to Mims.
12:37Slips past a tackler.
12:39And goes all the way down to the Buffalo.
12:4141 before Lewis is able to end it.
12:44But 19 yards for number 19, Marvin Mims.
12:47This is going to be the toughest read if Sean Payton did it.
12:50Watch this.
12:51You're guarding the back.
12:53You're going to get all this pressure from over here.
12:56So let's see if Bishop can get there.
12:58No.
13:00You free-released him to a four-man side.
13:02Genius play call.
13:05Boy, Mims.
13:06He's pointing to Sean.
13:07He's like, nice job.
13:08You called it.
13:09He's like, I got you, buddy.
13:11That was a third and eight.
13:14And you didn't make him have to do something special.
13:15You said, just throw it to the back here.
13:17Now at the Bills 41.
13:21Go back up the middle.
13:23And Harvey restricted for only a yard.
13:26Russo on him right away.
13:28Hey, light your torch and be a part of this historic moment as Survivor returns for a milestone 50th season.
13:36Season premiere Wednesday, February 25th on CBS.
13:3950th season.
13:40The last time the Broncos hosted a playoff game was the AFC Championship game on the way to winning Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara.
13:51Same side of this year's Super Bowl, Super Bowl 60.
13:57Been ten years since they had a home game.
13:59Postseason.
14:00And they lead by six.
14:01Late third.
14:02Another pressure.
14:03Bozos coming after him in that pass.
14:05Wide of the mark.
14:07Coming for Prentice.
14:07That's why you got to be prepared.
14:10Like at the end of the half we talked about, I'm like, Buffalo got hurt and all these other things with the run going through.
14:14And you're going to find, here comes Milano.
14:17It's going to create a free rusher because they only have five linemen blocking here.
14:21And I don't like that call, knowing that this team's coming after you pretty consistently.
14:29Third and nine.
14:30Coming off a third and eight conversion a moment ago.
14:33How much do you got?
14:34How many cool trick plays do you got, Sean Payton?
14:36I think at some point it's going to be on Bo Nix right here.
14:39Standing and delivering.
14:40Watch out for him coming.
14:43Other side.
14:44Overload.
14:45And Boza backs off also.
14:47As Nix in traffic just flings it.
14:50Incomplete.
14:53Milano was the first one in the backfield.
14:55And there weren't a lot of options there for Bo.
14:57I mean, they're emptying the bucket with their pressures.
14:59And it's actually been pretty successful.
15:01And Bo does a great job sliding the protection.
15:05But what happened is, Boudet just missed his block up the middle.
15:10Got an interesting decision coming up here.
15:12Again, in this thin air, 58 yards is not a big deal, which could give you the two-score lead.
15:18But they, instead, they're going to go punt here.
15:19Wow.
15:20And Lutz has the leg.
15:2258 yards it would be had they gone that way with the field goal attempt on fourth and nine.
15:28Heads up for a fake.
15:29Alert fake, Jim.
15:31Tell everybody fake, fake, fake.
15:34Roshaw the punter.
15:38Rookie from the University of Florida.
15:40It's a true punt.
15:42End over end.
15:43And Shakir secures it near the 15, 26-yard punt.
15:50Give Buffalo credit.
15:51You can only run the fake with the correct look.
15:54They were not.
15:54They were prepared for it.
15:55Couldn't run it.
15:59My mom died from cancer.
16:01She was only 37 years old.

16:26Food deserves Pepsi.
16:30Sun's going to settle on one of these teams today.
16:32I mentioned 10 years ago the last time they had a home game.
16:35There were four future Hall of Fame quarterbacks in the building that day.
16:39One of them was sitting just above you.
16:41You see Shanahan and Odoms.
16:43It was Josh Allen.
16:46Just a student and student athlete at the University of Wyoming.
16:49Took in the game from the upper deck.
16:51Of course, you had Elway as the general manager in the building and had Brady and Manning on the field.
16:56This is what they're in.
16:57This is how they're going to do this under center.
16:59You're right, Jim.
17:00What a great story about being there for that game.
17:03Were you there for that game?
17:04I was here for that game.
17:05What a call.
17:06Yeah, it was the fourth time that Peyton and Tom met in an AFC championship game.
17:11Of course, it was Peyton's last ride on his way to the win in his last game.
17:16There he was before the game having a word with Josh Allen.
17:19Peyton's son, Marshall, is a big Josh Allen fan.
17:22And he brought his son to the occasion here.
17:27Under center.
17:28They've averaged almost double the yards per play under center today.
17:32Keep with it.
17:34Cook got seven on first down.
17:36He's got about two and a half with this one.
17:39And guess what's coming up on third down foot?
17:41Well, it's almost like during the season, they don't do this every time.
17:46To me, you do it when the season's on the line, like playoff games and everything.
17:52It happens now.
17:53Josh Allen's got that moment.
17:54It's like, let's not mess around and let them do something.
17:57Get under center.
17:58Do the chest push.
18:00And you bring in Gilliam for the occasion.
18:02He'll shift back.
18:03Best pusher we've seen today.
18:05Four for four so far in these cold-trained situations.
18:09And that one again, without trouble.
18:11Your back's going to hurt tomorrow, Josh.
18:13He's got a very good strike.
18:16Gilliam, I'm pushing you in the back.
18:18It moves him a full yard by myself.
18:20Again, what else can hurt?
18:21I mean, everything does already.
18:22He's already like, oh.
18:23Don't know the difference.
18:24So now five for five on those conversions.
18:28Look at, he's getting high-fived.
18:29Listen, you are pushing and hurting your teammate great.
18:32Keep it up.
18:37First and ten inside the last minute of the third quarter.
18:41Under center.
18:42Smart.
18:44He's calling for that and running it with Cook.
18:46Yes.
18:47You'll have your chance to take your shot.
18:49And that's what they do with Cook.
18:51Cutting outside and picking up a good game for 13 and another burst.
18:57The game's not rocket science.
18:58It's literally leverage angles and personnel-driven matchups, right?
19:02And we can actually push on these guys with our size.
19:04But his vision, Cook's vision, right?
19:08He can bounce it right left middle.
19:10He's gone backside.
19:11That hurt him.
19:11Now this game is going outside.
19:13So smart.
19:13Remember on Thanksgiving Sunday at Pittsburgh, how many times he darted outside for big games
19:19over and over again?
19:20Yes.
19:20And if you can look as we're going to the fourth here, last year, he would cut that backside
19:25on that same run.
19:27So Denver adjusted to stop the backside cutback.
19:29Well, then he adjusts there.
19:31Tony, we're heading to the fourth.
19:33With a spot in the AFC Championship game at stake.
19:37Ooh, here we go, Jim.
19:43Cardinal, a decorated director, Jim Nass, Tony Romo, Tracy Wilson, Gene Steratore, who's
19:48going to the AFC Championship game?
19:52Start the final quarter with a first down for Buffalo.
19:57And that pass a little too low for Knox.
20:01And fourth quarter, what success both of these quarterbacks have had this year.
20:07Amazing, amazing stuff.
20:09Yeah, they both, I mean, you see the same seven-game winning drives, mostly franchise history.
20:14They had a few good quarterbacks here, Jim.
20:16Yeah, they did.
20:17You know, a guy named O.A.?
20:18I remember him.
20:18Manning and then out, 18 total touchdowns.
20:21That's what he does.
20:21He puts his team on his back.
20:23It's the fourth quarter.
20:24Is he going to put the cape on?
20:26Second and 10.
20:30Quick pass.
20:31Shakir splits the defenders.
20:33It's off and running.
20:34Shakir makes another one miss.
20:38And look at Shakir make a gigantic play.
20:42It's going to be the biggest pass play of the game.
20:44By Yardage, 46 yards.
20:47And he went right between two Broncos after the catch.
20:50This is where he's got to bounce out or kick the run.
20:53He decides to go toward the run.
20:55And Rufunga, first time, takes a bad angle.
20:59And Shakir, who's as good at the run after catch as anybody.
21:03We talked about last week.
21:04He shows up again today in huge fashion and a huge situation.
21:07Six catches now, 72 yards.
21:12He's been targeted 18 times in the postseason.
21:15All 18 have been completed as Cook comes back into the lineup.
21:20And he's down to about the 13th.
21:22This altitude, as Tracy's reported, a lot of players running back to the bench, getting some oxygen.
21:30Cook is one of those.
21:31They're getting prepared for it.
21:32You can see.
21:33I mean, that's why you see Cook have to come in and out a little bit more.
21:36And look at that.
21:37Targets, receptions.
21:38Come on.
21:40It's unheard of right there.
21:41You don't catch every ball that's thrown to you.
21:43Shakir and Samuel in the game.
21:46I love it.
21:47They're staying under center.
21:48Denver's got to get these guys down in here.
21:51There you go.
21:53Second and seven.
21:55Rolling out.
21:55And pass a little.
21:57Too much heat.
21:57And over the top of Samuel.
22:01Now you've got a third and seven.
22:04This could have been a touchdown.
22:06He snapped it a little early.
22:08And he throws it a little bit too fast.
22:11With a little more touch.
22:13It's a touchdown.
22:19Kincaid comes into the huddle.
22:21Here's Allen.
22:39Dropping back.
22:40Throwing it to the end zone.
22:41And it is hauled in.
22:43Kincaid, just as he did a week ago.
22:46With a touchdown grab.
22:49And the Bills are a greater extra point away from taking the lead.
22:59Well, in my notes, critical situations.
23:03In the red zone, the ball's going to Kincaid.
23:06And Josh Allen throws a perfect level two ball.
23:12But only his guy can catch it at the high point.
23:14And boy, the Kincaid did a great job.
23:16Very similar to what they did last week.
23:17A similar looking play for a touchdown that worked between those two.
23:22And now Prater.
23:22And the comeback from 13 down.
23:28Now the lead belongs to Buffalo.
23:31The Mountain Time Zone connection.
23:34Quarterback from Wyoming to a tight end from Utah.
23:36Set up from Allen to a Boise State receiver.
23:39Shakir.
23:40They're used to altitude.
23:41And they've got the lead.
23:41T-Mobile, now the best network in America.
23:48And by Acura.
23:51Precision.
23:52Crafted.
23:53Performance.
23:59We saw Josh Allen overcome the mental hurdle that happens when you turn the ball over for a quarterback in the postseason.
24:06You've got to come back.
24:07He just did it.
24:08Now it's Bo Nix's turn.
24:09Okay, the Wisnowski kick comes down to the five.
24:13Pate trying to return it.
24:16Gilliam missed him.
24:17And they're able to finish it with Savage.
24:23Well, Tony, the PGA Tour season returns on CBS.
24:27In just a couple of weeks, Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour.
24:31He'll be in the field.
24:32Part of an excellent lineup that includes Max Holma, Adeke Matsuyama, Tony Finau.
24:37At the Farmers Insurance Open, two weeks from today on CBS.
24:42And streaming on Paramount Plus from magnificent Torrey Pines.
24:47Pretty fun to watch you do that.
24:50Looking forward to the West Coast swing.
24:52But in the meantime, can't wait to see how this plays out.
24:55Fourth quarter and next weekend he falls.
24:58First and ten.
25:01And right away, the stick applied by Milano on Harvey.
25:07And they've been pressuring so much.
25:09It's a good job by Sean McDermott not to pressure here.
25:12And really good job by Bo Nix.
25:13Nothing was available.
25:14Just three-man route and just get the ball out.
25:16So, Nick's really a brief huddle, if any at all.
25:24Back to the line on second and ten.
25:31They run it.
25:32And Harvey has Bosa on him.
25:35You know, the Bills are now leading them.
25:37They're minus three in the turnover margin today.
25:40Now, why is that significant?
25:42Wait till you see this one that's been dug up.
25:44All time in the history of the NFL postseason.
25:48Road teams.
25:49Road teams in the playoffs.
25:50Minus three or worse turnover differential.
25:54One in 85.
25:55The only team to ever win with that.
25:57The Raiders in 77 against the Colts.
26:00The old ghost to the post.
26:02Stabler to Dave Casper.
26:03Remember it well.
26:05Now, third and seven.
26:06No catches so far for Sutton.
26:10He's their third-down specialist on most occasions.
26:15They're not looking.
26:15He's with it.
26:16Pass is deflected.
26:17And the Buffalo defense is going to take him off the field
26:20in a hurry after three plays.
26:23Ascend pressure.
26:24Six-man pressure again up front.
26:27And the second tip ball today by Epinesa.
26:33Huge.
26:34I don't think that would have gotten the first down anyway.
26:36Taron Johnson was covering on the outside on the out route.
26:40That's where we talk about Denver's ability to come back.
26:43They've done it all year.
26:44Battle tested.
26:45This is those nerves right now.
26:47Speaking of nerves, Hardman is back deep.
26:49He fielded two punts this year.
26:50Fumbled one of them.
26:54Croshaw to send it his way.
26:59Oh, he just slaughtered this kick.
27:02That means it flies five yards deep into the end zone.
27:0665, net of 45.
27:09Buffalo possesses the football and the lead.
27:13And you're watching.
27:14The divisional playoffs presented by Intuit.
27:17TurboTax.
27:18Bill started at 20.
27:27Allen zings it.
27:29Got a 15-yard pickup on the pass play to Kincaid.
27:35That was a seed on another level two ball.
27:37He's got to throw it over the inside.
27:41Gets it over Tillman 92.
27:43And he beats Ufonga to the ball in his own defense.
27:46And he's getting into that rhythm right now.
27:50He's got to disrupt it, Denver.
27:51I would come after him.
27:52Start playing man.
27:53Look how Buffalo has moved the football.
27:56Since 6.50.
27:58He's remaining in the third quarter.
28:01And remember, they bypassed on about the Broncos the 58-yard field goal.
28:06Which could have given them a two-score lead.
28:08Here goes Cook.
28:09And Cook is over 100 yards with that run of 13.
28:14It's the same run we talked about.
28:15He bounced out earlier last year.
28:17They had a ton of yards on it.
28:18He has a three-way go.
28:20He can go up here, break that way, that way, outside.
28:22This time he goes up.
28:24Bounces out.
28:25And then comes all the way back.
28:27His vision.
28:29Next level.
28:30And that wild card victory over Denver last year.
28:33Cook ran for 120 and a touchdown.
28:37They ran for 210 as a team.
28:40Which was some 70 yards more than anyone else had all season last year against the Broncos.
28:45And they're doing it again today.
28:47Here's Allen.
28:48What a ball pass.
28:49It's Knox.
28:50And he got another chop play for 13.
28:54Running away from Jonah Ellis.
28:58This is the same play call they're going to run.
29:00But right here, he's not going to give them the ball.
29:03So you're like, I've got to come off this block and go make the play.
29:06They put you in a bind.
29:09Run the same play, but now that guy's got to recognize it's not the same play.
29:12Really difficult to handle.
29:14Good job by Joe Brady.
29:14Three straight plays of 10-plus.
29:21As we move inside, 10 minutes to go.
29:24Now that they're going down.
29:25Five-man rush.
29:26This is who they are.
29:27Man-to-man everywhere else.
29:28Back to Cook on first down.
29:30Big opening for him.
29:33And he gets tripped up a little bit.
29:36After seven more.
29:37This is working, Tony.
29:40He's been calling for taking the snap under center, giving the football to Cook.
29:43It just reminds me of the playoff game last year.
29:47I believe it was Baltimore when they were trailing.
29:50And then all of a sudden, they got under center and ran the ball and scored two times.
29:54And then all of a sudden, you could play action and just open things up.
29:57And then the shotgun.
29:59Denver wants you to live in shotgun.
30:01They don't want you to be under center.
30:02Smart by them.
30:03And they're getting back to that dual run, I call it.
30:06Where you can go up and go out and come back either way.
30:08Second and four.
30:09Go outside with it on the toss.
30:11And he's near the first.
30:13What did Joe Brady tell us this week?
30:16Talking about Cook, who last week was held to just 46 yards by the Jaguars.
30:21He said he's been in a foul mood all week long.
30:24He knew he was going to run hard.
30:25Outside of that fumble, he's played an outstanding football game.
30:29And Joe Brady has called it at a high level.
30:31And to take the pressure off the quarterback and be able to do that on the road in this environment, huge.
30:40They're getting a replay assist here.
30:43They had already moved the chains.
30:45Gene, they had initially given them a first down.
30:49And now they've moved it back, the chains, for a third and a foot.
30:53Yes, because they looked real quick and saw the knee down and the ball short.
30:56Quick job by replay assist.
30:58Number 70 reports is eligible.
31:0070 is eligible.
31:01Do they have to reset the play clock then?
31:04They'll, they'll, no, he'll keep it.
31:06No, he's going to bump it to 25.
31:08His animated reset and stop it, yes.
31:09So they bring in the extra lineman, Anderson.
31:11A pusher, Gilliam.
31:13Five for five so far on this play.
31:16And look at Gilliam.
31:17He's making a difference.
31:18And again, Josh gets a couple of more tacked on.
31:21First down, Bills.
31:22First time I've seen him go right.
31:24Denver loaded up on the left with more guys this time.
31:28So good adjustment.
31:30Well, the Bills brought in Anderson, which gave them 1,900 pounds of beef on the line.
31:35That's a lot of beef.
31:38That's where the one area that was the only concern, just a tough matchup for Denver, just from the size perspective.
31:44And if they could have slowed the run down, that would have been to their advantage.
31:49But right now, Buffalo eating the clock, taking away with the lead.
31:54Six plays, 52 yards since the touchback.
31:57And beginning the drive back at the 20.
31:59On first down, he looks left.
32:01Now comes to the right side.
32:02And Davis catches it, but Sternod is the one who applies the quick stick.
32:08Limits the play.
32:11So much eye candy there.
32:13Hand off to a screen, to a shot play.
32:15That's the play they scored the touchdown on against Jacksonville last week.
32:18It's a court play of theirs.
32:19Good job by Josh getting through the progression and managing it.
32:27Denver's got to win this down.
32:28They've got to get them in third and long.
32:32It's a second and ten.
32:37Cook is out.
32:38Davis is in.
32:44Now he still has it.
32:46Cuts back to the middle.
32:47And he got...
32:49Oh, the ball is out again.
32:51I didn't hear a whistle.
32:52I think that could be real.
32:53He was, for some reason, he was trying to extend the football.
32:57Nowhere near the sticks.
32:58And they say, Buffalo football.
33:02I didn't hear a whistle there, Gene.
33:05I didn't hear one.
33:06I didn't hear a whistle.
33:07It felt like forward progress to me, guys.
33:09Let's listen to it right here.
33:11Yeah, there wasn't a whistle there.
33:24I mean, it would have been close if Denver recovered, whether he was on the ground or not.
33:27He still can rule that progress there without the whistle.
33:30And to me, on that replay, you can see Josh Allen standing still there for a couple counts before being knocked backwards.
33:37I think progress is the right call on the play.
33:39Nice, Geno.
33:41But in the end, you got Kincaid and you got Brown.
33:44It's like they jointly fell on it.
33:46But Locke, who had that interception in the third quarter, is getting some attention.
33:53That was a key down.
33:54Like I said, you don't want to be in third and long.
33:55What do they use?
33:56Josh Allen's legs.
33:57Expect that possibility of it again.
33:59We'll see that next snap as we take a break.
34:02Medical timeout.
34:03Good is good enough for...
34:07Look, they're not going to let you run.
34:08He wanted to run.
34:09Now all of a sudden, they're going to have to throw the football.
34:12Watch Kincaid one-on-one at the top.
34:16Wow.
34:17Allen has to do it, and he does.
34:20They had loaded up the left side, flooded the left side with all those receivers,
34:24and he went the other way behind Spencer Brown's big block,
34:28and he gets nine and a first.
34:31Look at Brown.
34:33You just said it.
34:35Watch this.
34:36There's so many guys in the air, you can't run up the middle.
34:38They crack down and pull the tackle.
34:41They have not used this play in a long, long time,
34:44and what a time to pull it out.
34:46I didn't think they could run it based on the numbers.
34:48Joe Brady again.
34:49Josh Allen's legs.
34:50Key situations.
34:50And now Allen goes back under center with under six minutes to go.
34:55First and ten.
34:57They rush for more yards than anyone has all season long against Denver,
35:00the second best in the league against the run,
35:02and here comes Cook.
35:03Challenging.
35:04And he's held to one.
35:06I'll give you a situation here, Tony.
35:08You're inside six minutes.
35:10If you score a touchdown here at Buffalo, you go up seven,
35:14you could go for two,
35:17and if you were successful,
35:18you have suddenly a two-score lead with somewhere around five minutes to go.
35:22I would do it.
35:24You have one of the best quarterbacks in those situations in Josh Allen.
35:28You have his legs to deal with.
35:29I think you're going to get all-out pressure.
35:31You know what you're getting by the defense.
35:32They just used the play on the last one.
35:34That would have been a great play,
35:35but I would go for two.
35:36Great call, Jim.
35:37Of course, if he kicked the PAT,
35:38you got an eight-point lead,
35:39but they still got to get it there
35:40with a second and ten, five-minute mark.
35:46Over to Samuel,
35:47and he is met right away by Hufunga.
35:52And this is going to be a third and semi-long.
35:56Third and eight.
35:58This drive's taken now.
36:00Seven minutes.
36:01It's the third drive of the afternoon
36:08that's lasted longer than seven minutes.
36:12No designed run here.
36:13It's too far for that.
36:14However, watch him scrambling,
36:17extending the play.
36:19If it's not there,
36:20I'd look for Kincaid on the left.
36:21If this is one-on-one,
36:23I'm throwing him the ball.
36:24If not, then he might use his legs.
36:27Need to get to the four for a first.
36:30Quick pass.
36:30It's on the ground.
36:32Shakir, did he pick it up cleanly?
36:34Oh, the Bills think he did.
36:36It looked like the Broncos gave up on the play.
36:38It's incomplete.
36:39It's incomplete.
36:40It's an incomplete pass.
36:43Forked up.
36:43Denver knew it right away,
36:45and now comes the field goal unit.
36:46Broncos saw it pop into the arms of Shakir.
36:50Well, watch.
36:50It's a great job
36:51by Cooper going flying out.
36:54Otherwise, this would have been a possible touchdown.
36:56He takes off from,
36:58instead of blitzing,
36:58he reads it right away.
37:00And that is definitely,
37:02that hit the ground for sure,
37:03but Cooper saves the day right there.
37:06First and completion on a target
37:08to Shakir in two weeks.
37:11They played that a little safe there.
37:13Did you see that?
37:13Yep.
37:14Throwing a spoon.
37:15Crater now,
37:15the 41-year-old
37:17who spent a good chunk of his career right here
37:21kicking in this stadium,
37:23has this from 31,
37:24and the kick is good
37:26with 4.11 to go.
37:28and the lead is 27-23.
37:35It's a big hold for Denver right there.
37:40Wow, what a start
37:41to the weekend.
37:43Just picking up where it left off.
37:46The divisional playoffs
37:47presented by Intuit TurboTax
37:49continue tonight.
37:5049ers and Seahawks on Fox,
37:52and the divisional round concludes tomorrow.

37:58followed by Rams and Bears
37:59on NBC.
38:00And again,
38:01next Sunday,
38:02don't miss the AMC Championship game
38:03on CBS at 3 p.m. Eastern,
38:06followed by the
38:06NFC Championship game
38:08on Fox at 6.30.
38:09All games are presented by
38:11Intuit TurboTax.
38:14I say it picks up
38:15right where it left off
38:16as Josh Allen and the Bills
38:18were part of a four-lead change
38:21fourth quarter down in Jacksonville.
38:22There were more last week.
38:24How about this?
38:25Four fourth-quarter lead changes,
38:2812 across all the games,
38:29and more last-three-minute
38:32winning drives,
38:33four of them,
38:34than in the history
38:35of the NFL playoffs
38:36through the entirety
38:37of one playoff year.
38:38It was just a wild-card weekend.
38:40It was amazing.
38:41We already had a lead change
38:42at the start of this quarter,
38:44and there's the return
38:44by McLaughlin
38:45to the 27-yard line.
38:47Now you've got
38:48four minutes to go, Tony,
38:49and you're Bo Nix,
38:51and this is your moment.
38:52This is your opportunity.
38:54I mean, as a kid,
38:55you grew up hoping
38:56for this chance,
38:56and you get to go
38:57against Josh Allen.
38:58You're at home.
39:00He's done it all year.
39:01He's been battle-tested.
39:02He's been able to do it.
39:03You just got to believe
39:04in that right now.
39:04He's played it
39:05a little safe recently.
39:07It's almost like
39:08you hope someone else
39:08kind of makes a play
39:09even though he got off
39:10to that incredible start.
39:11Now, forget about
39:13everything else.
39:14It's your time.
