00:07Well, as soon as you see that fire chip in the north end zone, you know exactly where we are.
00:13It's the home of the Buccaneers, Reagan James Stadium in Tampa Bay.
00:18Up next, a contest that keeps things all in the NFC.
00:23Between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:31Hitting the Saints, that is head coach Kellen Moore.
00:34Inside, destined for one of the top picks in the draft.
00:37Only two wins so far this season.
00:40On the opposite sideline, the head coach of the Buccaneers, Todd Bowles.
00:44These guys with a crowd at their backs and things only going to get louder once this game begins.
00:58Chase McLaughlin, the kickoff for the Buccaneers.
01:01Brock Heward, I'm Kate Scott.
01:02This is Chase McLaughlin on to handle the opening kick.
01:05And away we go beneath the Florida Heat.
01:08Return coming from the six.
01:11Some decent run back is going to end as they bring him down inside the 30.
01:15So the Saints offense, taking over for the first time here.
01:18They are led by the second-year quarterback from South Carolina.
01:22Started a handful of games last season.
01:24As a rookie, here's Spencer Rattler.
01:26And he wonders, he's about to take his first snap today.
01:29Yeah, he took care of the football last week.
01:31Kate, that was great.
01:32No interceptions.
01:33Just a one touchdown.
01:35I'm curious if he cranks up that aggressive knob today.
01:38Two on the pickup there.
01:39And it's going to be second and eight.
01:42Well, this late in the year, Brock, just about every team in the league,
01:46as we all know, is battling some injury woes.
01:49And these guys are no exception.
01:51It's an unfortunate byproduct of any sport,
01:54but especially the trauma involved in this sport.
01:56You're going to lose guys over the course of a season.
01:58And the later in the season you're dealing with injuries,
02:00the morbid depth of the roster is so tested.
02:03And it's time for those lesser-known names to make their name.
02:06And back-to-back runs, yielding just two yards.
02:10And now it's third and eight.
02:13Okay, break.
02:17Ready, ready.
02:19Throw here, third down.
02:21And he'll stop him here.
02:23And that before he gets out to the 47-yard line.
02:25The big play, and that's him 17 yards.
02:29And that's good for a new set of downs for New Orleans.
02:33First and 10 at the 47-yard line.
02:36Here we go, set, set, right.
02:37And the time ends motion to the left.
02:42Kamara now on first and 10.
02:45And he takes it past midfield
02:47and starts the drive into Buccaneers' territory.
02:50Three yards on the first down play,
02:52and that brings up second and seven.
02:54Brings up second and seven.
02:57Here we go, set.
03:00They stay on the grab of Kamara.
03:02And once again, he doesn't manage much
03:04before getting brought down.
03:06He was definitely...
03:07Musters up three yards on the run.
03:09And that sets up third and four.
03:11And it's third down.
03:13Here we go, here we go.
03:15On the ground.
03:16Rapper.
03:19Complete beyond the marker.
03:21And they get this down to the 28.
03:23Give him 18 yards on that play, Brock,
03:26and he gets him a first down.
03:27This running back is a mismatch nigger.
03:31That's how I label him on my little sheet right here.
03:34This guy just creates match-up nightmares
03:37for every defender on the field.
03:43And there's a man there.
03:44It's intercepted.
03:52And the Buccaneers forced the turnover
03:54from the first series of this game.
03:57And what a huge bonus on top of the takeaway.
04:00Not only did you steal the possession,
04:02but you immediately, Kate, slip this field
04:05to give your teammates a golden opportunity
04:07to punch it in for six.
04:09And if they score quickly,
04:10they put that opposing offense right back out there,
04:13steal really, and then reception.
04:22So here come the Buccaneers,
04:24ready for their opening drive.
04:26And at the helm,
04:27coming off a career-best performance
04:29in year seven here in the NFL,
04:31the number one overall pick back in 2018
04:33out of Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield.
04:35Even he mentioned it to us.
04:37There hasn't been much celebrated for him
04:39since last week.
04:40But all the guys were taking in the win
04:42and enjoying some time to relax.
04:43He was reviewing what went wrong in that game.
04:46An interception, not finding the end zone.
04:48That's not the type of impact
04:50that usually finds you a win.
04:52And he knows.
04:52And he finds him in the end zone
04:54for the Tampa Bay touchdown.
04:57They're looking here.
04:58It's Carley at the interception and the points.
05:03Well, they certainly wasted no time
05:04in making that turnover hurt even more.
05:07They looked at the end zone
05:08on the very first play, Brock,
05:10and they connected.
05:11You know, Kate, I love it.
05:12It was an ambush to begin the trial.
05:14They attacked that end zone
05:15against a defense who was out there
05:17on short notice
05:17and not ready for that sudden change
05:20they talk about.
05:21On is Chase McLaughlin for the point after.
05:25The point after splits the upright.
05:28And the Buccaneers will jump out
05:29to a 7-0 lead.
05:30The Saints have it.
05:34Chase McLaughlin.
05:35McLaughlin has it on the team
05:37and he's ready to send this flying.
05:42This one's fielded at the 40-yard line.
05:45And in the end, he's able to get it
05:47to about the 25-yard line
05:48before he's hauled down.
05:50Second drive coming up
05:51for the Saints' offense.
05:53And they got off on the wrong foot here
05:55with that opening drive interception
05:56that led to points the other way.
05:58And what this defense has shown
06:00is they are going to capitalize
06:01on your mistakes
06:02and not just a little
06:03but by a lot.
06:04So from here on out,
06:05you better play some mistake-free football
06:07because this defense
06:08is hunting for more.
06:10Buccaneers are going to get home
06:11as they drop in.
06:13And the drive begins
06:14with a rough first step there.
06:15That's going to bring up second down.
06:18Sometimes I wish everybody
06:19could feel what that feels like
06:21when you're a QB
06:22and you just feel the air
06:24in the pocket getting sucked out
06:26and you know there's no escape.
06:28It can be just one heck
06:30of a deflating feeling
06:31for that defense
06:32who puts a sack on the board.
06:34They're secured by Brandon Cus.
06:36And it's good yardage
06:38but they tackle him
06:39short of the sticks.
06:41Good luck defending
06:42that short yardage slack.
06:44It's not going to happen.
06:45There's a reason.
06:46This is a go-to play
06:46for just about any quarterback
06:48in every situation.
06:50Ready, go!
06:54Justin snapped her Adler.
06:56And this time
06:57they're going to get to him
06:58before they get that pass away
07:00as he goes down.
07:01And the defense comes through
07:03and that's going to back him up
07:04and bring up fourth down.
07:06Another three and O's.
07:09And here comes
07:10the Saints punting unit.
07:12Cameron Johnson
07:13back deep to receive
07:14this one for the Bucs.
07:16Coming off a busy week.
07:18Five punts in the loss
07:20and he sends this one away.
07:23And it ends up
07:24a good return for him.
07:25Up past their own 40s.
07:27The Buccaneers
07:28and Bucky Irving
07:29ready for their next position.
07:31And he's been putting together
07:32what should finish
07:33as a true standout campaign.
07:35Right now
07:35top five across the league
07:36in rushing.
07:38Good starting field position
07:39for the Buccaneers.
07:40First and ten.
07:42First and ten.
07:43First and ten.
07:44First and ten.
07:44First and ten.
07:44First and ten.
07:45First and ten.
07:46First and ten.
07:47First and ten.
07:51First and ten.
07:52First and ten.
07:54Hold to the ball.
07:55Make that play
07:56just as it gets
07:57to the line of scrimmage.
07:59First down run
08:00netted him nothing.
08:01Here is second and ten.
08:05Shotgun snap
08:06for Mayfield.
08:07Looking to his running back
08:08incomplete.
08:09Now Klay's going to bring
08:10a third down.
08:12Hey Kate,
08:13I know it's unrealistic
08:14to expect a hundred percent
08:15completion rate
08:16from anywhere on the field.
08:17But in this close,
08:19you really shouldn't be
08:20missing too many throws.
08:21Those need to be
08:22borderline automatic.
08:24Kings, kings, kings.
08:28Third down.
08:30Here's Mayfield.
08:31Hits him on the out route.
08:32And the tackles made
08:34just beyond Mayfield
08:35at the 48.
08:36And that one goes
08:38for a gain of 11.
08:39And the Bucs
08:40have the first.
08:42First and ten
08:43at the 48-yard line.
08:46180.
08:51Watch what?
08:52Baker now
08:53from the gun.
08:54Force down to his right.
08:57And that throw
08:58just too high for him.
09:00Once that quarterback
09:01broke the pocket,
09:02kind of turns into
09:03like a zone read option
09:04a little bit.
09:05Kate, you've got
09:05a couple choices.
09:07Keep it yourself.
09:08We're trying to force
09:08the throw.
09:09There was nowhere to go.
09:10He really should have
09:11used his legs.
09:13second down,
09:14still ten to go
09:15after that incomplete pass.
09:24Second down,
09:27still ten to go
09:28after that incomplete pass.
09:30The defenders,
09:32they were ready for that throw.
09:33Stopping him right
09:34at the line of scrimmage.
09:43This drive in jeopardy.
09:46Here's a third and ten.
09:49Step.
09:54Here he goes,
09:55third and long.
09:56Crosses the 35,
09:58still got more room.
09:59And he gets this shot
10:00on the way
10:01to the 31-yard line.
10:03It's a great pick up.
10:0416 yards,
10:05and now they've got
10:06first down.
10:06Good for a first down.
10:10First and ten
10:11at the 31-yard line.
10:15No doubt they'll take
10:16a repeat of how
10:17this game began, Brock,
10:18and that play has them
10:19on their way towards it.
10:20Scripting for success.
10:22They'll keep pressing
10:23the advantage, too,
10:24until some resistance
10:25has got to finally appear.
10:27Straight ahead.
10:28It's Irving.
10:29And he'll come up
10:30with a gain of three
10:31on the run up the middle.
10:32Now we'll take a moment
10:33to check out his numbers
10:34on the ground
10:35from a week ago.
10:36A gain of four.
10:38It's now second and six
10:40at the 28-yard line.
10:42They'll come up
10:43after that four-yard gain.
10:44It's second and six.
10:47Good.
10:49For 20.
10:51That's it.
10:52Here's Baker to throw.
10:55Complete to his man,
10:56Sterling Shepard.
10:58And he's tackled
10:59with the first down yardage.
11:02Part of the reason
11:03I leave you pregame,
11:04get down to that field
11:05and watch these guys
11:06throw and catch
11:07is I want to see
11:07their timing.
11:08I want to see
11:09their anticipation.
11:10That is picture perfect
11:11right there.
11:12A crossing route
11:13thrown out quickly
11:14tells me these two
11:15are on the same page.
11:16And this one
11:17does not go far.
11:19A gain of two
11:19brings up second-hand aid.
11:22Eight yards to go.
11:24Let's see how they
11:24approach this second down.
11:32So that's one quarter gone
11:34in a battle of
11:35NFC South Rivals.
11:37Seven-nothing
11:38is our score.
11:40More from Raymond James Stadium
11:41coming up
11:42after the break.
11:53Ready to go
11:54with our second quarter.
11:55Buccaneers with the ball
11:57and a chance to score.
11:59What's up?
12:01Off the play fake.
12:02Here's Mayfield.
12:04Complete out to the right side.
12:06And he's able to get this down
12:07at the 13.
12:10Quarterbacks will look
12:11for their tied-in
12:12short in just about
12:13any situation.
12:14They take away
12:15the deeper options.
12:16There's their consistent
12:17source of positive yardage.
12:20The trusty tied-in.
12:21And he finds him
12:22in the end zone
12:23for the Tampa Bay touchdown.
12:25The Buccaneers
12:26take a 13-0 lead.
12:28It's a Chris Godwin touchdown.
12:33Wow, just perfect
12:34execution there, Brock.
12:36Nailing the fade
12:37for six.
12:38Yeah, when it comes
12:38to the fade route,
12:39it really is all about
12:41timing, as you said,
12:42the execution of it.
12:43You have to have
12:44the matchup first,
12:45but then you need
12:45to go connect.
12:46What a great play.
12:59With Laughlin,
13:00attack on the extra point.
13:05Right down the middle.
13:06Oh, it's good.
13:08And the Buccaneers
13:09double their lead to 14.
13:11Buccaneers, 14.
13:12Saints, nothing.
13:15Chase McGrawflin
13:16with the kickoff.
13:16McGrawflin has it on the team,
13:18and he's ready
13:18to send this fly.
13:23Has this at the six.
13:26He's brought down
13:27just inside the 25.
13:29The Saints come
13:30marching onto the field.
13:32They haven't been able
13:33to get that offense going
13:34just yet, Brock.
13:35The deficit with that 14.
13:38Saints to the line now.
13:39First day in 10.
13:42Here we go.
13:44Put.
13:45They're going to start
13:46on the ground with Camara.
13:48And he stopped after picking up nine,
13:50so they're set up well here
13:51with second and one.
13:53Cool thing about a drive
13:54starting run like that, Kate,
13:56is it really just gives you
13:57every opportunity to play
13:58with whatever you want to do.
13:59And as for me,
14:00I like to reward that one.
14:02Give it to him again
14:03and see if he can get you
14:03a new set of downs.
14:05Give on second to Camara.
14:07They stopped him just in time.
14:09He got back to the line
14:11but denied the yard they needed.
14:13Third down coming up.
14:15Third and alone yard coming up.
14:18Third down.
14:20Come on, set.
14:22Yellow set, cut.
14:26Another run for Camara.
14:28And he's up to the 35-yard line
14:31as they reel him in.
14:32Pickup of two here.
14:34Man, that's good
14:34for a Saints first down.
14:36First down.
14:38That's one as a running back
14:39in this league.
14:40You've got to convert every time.
14:41Teams really don't care
14:42if you're a Hall of Famer
14:43or an undrafted rookie.
14:45You can't get one yard
14:46for a first
14:47because they're voting auditions
14:48for someone who can.
14:50Steps up and he's running with it.
14:53Rather's hitting the ball's out.
14:55And this one belongs
14:56to the Buccaneers.
14:58You know, this just can't happen
15:00on first down.
15:01It really can't.
15:02I mean, ball security's
15:03getting a premium
15:04on every down,
15:05every distance.
15:06But on first down,
15:07it is especially a killer.
15:17The Buccaneers,
15:18then receiver Chris Godwin
15:20getting set for another go.
15:21And while one sideline
15:23has zero points,
15:25this offense,
15:26wow, they have had
15:26zero issues so far
15:28getting into that end zone.
15:29They are rolling right now, Kate.
15:32And unless there's a speed bump
15:33on the immediate horizon,
15:34things are at risk
15:35of getting out of here.
15:38On first down,
15:39they're going to run with it.
15:41He gets it to the right sideline.
15:43And he will not score,
15:45but that does set him up,
15:46Brock,
15:46with first and goal.
15:48Less than a yard away
15:48from the end zone.
15:50After such a magnificent run,
15:52quick story time.
15:53My first NFL start.
15:54Ricky Waters
15:55does the same thing.
15:56Gets the ball
15:56inside and near that goal line.
15:59And I get in the huddle,
15:59Ricky says,
16:00give Ricky the ball.
16:01Time to give Ricky the ball.
16:02You pay off a running back
16:03after such a tremendous effort.
16:10They've got three tight ends
16:11on this first and goal.
16:12Think and run or play action.
16:20On the red zone,
16:22on first.
16:23Fails out of the pocket quick.
16:25And he hails the catch.
16:27Gets both feet in.
16:28That's a touchdown.
16:30The Buccaneers
16:31take a 20 zip lead.
16:35Wow, just fantastic work there.
16:37Tip toeing along the back line.
16:40The concentration was there.
16:41Great catch for six.
16:43Yeah, the concentration
16:44and the body control.
16:46I don't know how these receivers
16:47do it in this day and age.
16:48There's no space to work with.
16:50Yet they have such an awareness
16:51to secure it first,
16:53to tap dance the line,
16:54and go get that touchdown.
16:58With Loughlin,
16:59attack on the extra point.
17:05Extra point set right down the middle.
17:07And the Buccaneers
17:08stretch their lead to 21.
17:11Saints nothing.
17:20Chase McGloughlin
17:21will kick off for the Buccaneers.
17:24McGloughlin has it on the team,
17:25and he's ready to send this flying.
17:30His return starts at the 5.
17:33And his drive will start
17:35inside the 25.
17:37The Saints are ready
17:39to return their offense
17:39to the field.
17:41And things are really
17:42getting away from him,
17:43so an important moment here
17:44to try and get
17:45a sustained possession going.
17:47New Orleans has the offense set.
17:49All right, Brock,
17:50here's first and 10.
17:51Let's go!
17:51Cut!
17:53Let's cut things out
17:54for the run by Kamara.
17:55And he finds a little room there
17:57before being hauled down.
17:58Gain of three.
18:00Four yards on that first down run.
18:02Here's second and six.
18:04Ready!
18:06Vicky Green!
18:07Cut!
18:09Let's go give to Kamara.
18:11And he's taken down
18:12after a very productive effort there, Brock.
18:15Up to the 40-yard line.
18:17And it's a gain of 12 on that one.
18:19And that's good for a new set of downs
18:21for New Orleans.
18:23Cut!
18:23Cut!
18:23First and 10 at the 40-yard line.
18:26Kamara running out of the gun.
18:28We haven't gained a bad handful there.
18:30That play made by Jacob Parrish.
18:32Jacob Parrish.
18:33You gain that kind of yardage
18:35in the run game,
18:35and you're going to gain
18:36the trust of your offensive coordinator.
18:38Plays like that,
18:39runs like that,
18:40set the table
18:41for everything else in the playbook.
18:43Thank you!
18:45Changing things up.
18:46They're going to throw now.
18:48That's going to be caught by Cooks.
18:50And he's brought down
18:51right in the neighborhood
18:52in that 40-yard line.
18:54That's 16 on the pickup.
18:57And that's good for a Saints first down.
18:59I know the combine tries to test
19:01everything that's possible
19:02can physically,
19:03but I don't know how you test courage
19:05at the combine,
19:06because there's nobody defending you.
19:07Nobody wants to hit you.
19:08That was the epitome of courage
19:10to make that in-cut
19:11and make a catch.
19:13And they shut him down on this one.
19:14They get him behind the line,
19:15and that should push him
19:16out of field goal range.
19:19Everyone's prepped.
19:20It's second down now.
19:21It's 41-yard line.
19:23Set!
19:25Black 40!
19:26Pistol snapped around here.
19:29Plays is there,
19:30and he goes down!
19:33And for the second straight play,
19:34Brock,
19:34they're headed the wrong way,
19:35and that's going to bring up
19:36a top third down.
19:38Okay, it's pretty clear, isn't it?
19:39It's this constant pressure
19:41that this defense is imposed
19:43on this offense
19:44to keep them out of rhythm
19:46and build up this lead.
19:47This offense is not going to offer
19:49a comeback
19:50if this quarterback continues
19:52to run for his life.
19:53That is just a nice stretch
19:55of some reps there defensively.
19:57Really one of the areas
19:57when you watch college games
19:59and the NFL game
20:00that there is a vast difference.
20:01And that's the tightness of coverage.
20:03These windows of opportunity
20:04are small,
20:05and they could not find a completion.
20:07And this just gets past the 20
20:09before going out.
20:11Todd Bowles sending his bucks
20:12out for another drive.
20:14And like most all
20:15of this season, partner,
20:16these guys have been
20:17absolutely lethal
20:18inside the red zone,
20:19again here in this one.
20:20And as a team,
20:21you just love,
20:22because you spend
20:22a lot of time in practice,
20:24in planning,
20:25in scripting for success.
20:27You can't script it
20:28any better so far.
20:29What's that?
20:30Drive begins
20:31with a run by Irving,
20:32and he scampers ahead
20:33and gets two on the carry.
20:35I don't think that's the amount
20:37that they were looking for there, Kate,
20:38going to lead
20:39to some shuffling around
20:40here in the playbook.
20:41Find a more aggressive call
20:42on second.
20:43Following that little
20:44two-yard run,
20:45it's second and eight.
20:47At 80!
20:50From the gun,
20:51Mayfield.
20:53Touchdown left side
20:54by Abuka.
20:56And we'll take it
20:56up to the 30
20:57before being brought down.
20:59Give him eight
21:00on that one,
21:01and that will be
21:02a Tampa Bay first down.
21:03Abuka.
21:05Just two minutes
21:06to play here
21:06in our opening half.
21:08It's the Bucs
21:09who are in front
21:10here at Raymond James.
21:11It's not just imperative
21:13that a quarterback
21:13knows man or zone.
21:15Same thing for a receiver,
21:16especially on a drag route.
21:18When he sees zone coverage
21:19like that,
21:20just settle down,
21:21find the soft spot,
21:22and give your quarterback
21:23a chance.
21:26First down,
21:27here's Baker.
21:28On the screen,
21:29this is White.
21:31And he will have this
21:32across that 40-yard line
21:34before they manage
21:35to stop him.
21:36Pickup of 12
21:37on that play.
21:38And the Bucs
21:39have the first.
21:41To this day,
21:42I can still see
21:42the faces of the big guys
21:44in Ottawa.
21:44You call a screen like that,
21:46instead of them
21:46just getting knocked
21:47backwards,
21:48they get to be salesmen.
21:49They get to push
21:50those linemen downfield
21:51and then tee off
21:53and go get somebody
21:54like they did right there.
21:55And they push this down
21:57at the opposing
21:5747-yard line.
22:00Coming to the line,
22:01this is first and ten.
22:02Buccaneers,
22:03first down.
22:05First down.
22:06And they feel
22:07the throw again.
22:10That's complete
22:11downfield to Godwin.
22:12And in,
22:14touchdown Tampa Bay.
22:17The Buccaneers,
22:18both racing them
22:19to the halftime locker room.
22:21It's a Chris Godwin
22:22and touchdown.
22:23His second scoring
22:24catch of the game.
22:27And now, Brock,
22:28I know you're keeping track
22:29just in case our audience
22:30is in his fourth,
22:31first half passing touchdown.
22:33The pace he's on,
22:34this would be a new record
22:36if he has a second half
22:37to match this one.
22:47With Loughlin,
22:48attack on the extra points.
22:49The point after.
22:53The point after
22:54splits the uprights.
22:56And the Buccaneers
22:57grow their lead
22:58yet again.
22:59Buccaneers,
22:5928.
23:00Saints,
23:01nothing.
23:06Chase McLaughlin
23:07to kick off
23:07for the Buccaneers.
23:09McLaughlin has it
23:09on the team,
23:10and he's ready
23:11to send this fly.
23:15Return coming
23:16from the six.
23:18He's brought down
23:18to what looks like
23:19the 24-yard line.
23:21New Orleans
23:22back down offensive,
23:23ready to go down.
23:24They're trailing,
23:25but there's enough time,
23:26Brock,
23:26that they could get
23:27a scoring drive
23:28to attack that
23:29here before the break.
23:31Offensive,
23:31the shotgun set
23:32as they line this up.
23:34First and 10.
23:3533.
23:40Locking isn't holding up.
23:41They're able to drop it.
23:43After one play
23:44of his drive,
23:45he might already
23:46be in trouble.
23:46He's going to push him
23:47back for second down.
23:49Get second down.
23:50Jack record.
23:51They'll see the hurry
23:52up here.
23:53Before we can get
23:54a snap on second down,
23:55they call timeout.
23:56They'll have two left
23:57to work with
23:58before halftime.
24:06Second and 10.
24:07Need to get some
24:08positive yardage here.
24:10Let's go now.
24:12Black.
24:12And they send him
24:13back in motion right.
24:15Rattler to the air now.
24:17That's another quick hitter.
24:19Young goes down
24:20after pushing this
24:21up to the 29.
24:28Shotgun now
24:28on third down.
24:32He can't connect
24:33with him.
24:34Incomplete.
24:34Just put it a little
24:35too close to the boundary
24:36there.
24:37Safe to say
24:38there's been an early
24:39disconnect between
24:40the planning phase
24:41and the execution phase
24:43for this offense.
24:44Not the time, Kate.
24:45Really, to get back
24:46to basics,
24:46to the calls
24:47you just trust the most.
24:50And he's certainly
24:51been staying busy
24:51once again.
24:52He's after punt
24:53and sends this flying.
24:54Begins his return
24:55at the 16.
24:57And he gets his offense
24:58in better field position
24:59here to start.
25:00Up close to the 30.
25:02The Buccaneers
25:02and Baker Mayfield
25:04ready for this
25:05next possession.
25:06And he sure has
25:07put on that chef's hat
25:08to dice up their defense
25:09early in this one.
25:10Quite the appetizer
25:11that he's prepared
25:12to what could be
25:13a great overall performance.
25:17Only half a minute
25:18to go in our half.
25:19Let's see how
25:19they begin the drive.
25:2110.
25:23180.
25:27Baker now
25:27off to play fake.
25:31Completed over the middle.
25:33He's taken down
25:34after reaching the 30.
25:35And play wrapped up
25:36by DeMario Davis.
25:38Timeout taken
25:39by the Buccaneers.
25:40They're first.
25:41They'll have two left
25:42to work with
25:43before halftime.
25:45Sometimes when you're
25:45just looking to move it
25:47forward.
25:47Get some small yards
25:48on the throw.
25:49Quarterback's best friend
25:50security blanket.
25:51And when it's a big old
25:51tight end,
25:52that's an extra bonus.
25:54This is second and six
25:55coming up.
25:57Midfield now
25:58from the gun.
26:00It's a big strike down.
26:02Feels like Aguka.
26:03And he's not going to be able
26:04to add anything
26:05to that catch.
26:06So give him progress
26:07across midfield.
26:08there to the opposing
26:0946.
26:10Complete to
26:11Emeka Aguka.
26:13First and 10
26:14at the 46-yard line.
26:22Coming to the line
26:23for another first and 10.
26:26Good.
26:29180.
26:30Throwing now
26:31out of the shotgun.
26:33And this won't be Kosh.
26:34Kroch is going to stop.
26:35We've got 14 seconds to go.
26:37He was looking
26:38for Chris Godwin
26:39on that play.
26:40So it's second down
26:41coming up.
26:42Can't cover it much better
26:44than that really well
26:45covered Kate on that play.
26:46There just simply
26:47was not a window
26:47for him to sneak
26:48that throw in.
26:50No luck on first down.
26:51Here's second and 10.
26:53What's up?
26:54Throwing again
26:55is Baker.
26:58That'll be incomplete
26:59and the clock shows
27:0010 seconds left.
27:02Kate, this quarterback
27:03gets out of the pocket.
27:04Genuinely a coin toss
27:06whether he's going to
27:06keep it with his legs
27:07or put it in the air.
27:09Sigh relief there
27:09defensively
27:10as that ball falls
27:11incomplete.
27:12Set.
27:14Set.
27:14Turn along for him here.
27:17Turns in by his back.
27:19White.
27:20On third down
27:21they wind up
27:22on the wrong way.
27:23That one goes backwards.
27:30So we've reached
27:31halftime, Brock
27:32in a lopsided contest
27:33so far.
27:34Let's hear what
27:35Scott Hansen has to say.
27:36He's got our
27:36EA Sports
27:37halftime report.
27:38Our trip around
27:39the league
27:39starts now
27:41in the Motor City.
27:43The Lions
27:43at home
27:44to take on
27:44the visiting
27:45Dallas Cowboys.
27:51And it's the
27:52all pro
27:53Amon Ross
27:54St.
27:54Brown.
27:55One of his
27:56two touchdown catches
27:58in the game
27:58coming right here.
28:00The Lions
28:01needed this one
28:02and they got it.
28:04A victory
28:04that helps them
28:05keep pace
28:05in the NFC
28:06wildcard race.
28:15Why don't we
28:16go over to
28:16Charm City now
28:18check in on
28:18the Ravens
28:19as they host
28:20the Pittsburgh Steelers.
28:23And it's
28:24Kenneth Gainwell.
28:26He's going to
28:27get in from
28:27six yards out.
28:29The Steelers
28:30lead by a
28:31touchdown
28:3210-3
28:32the halftime
28:33score.
28:35One more
28:35to tell you about
28:36we go to
28:37Jacksonville.
28:38The Jags
28:39taking on
28:39the Indianapolis
28:40Colts.
28:42And it's
28:43Trevor Lawrence.
28:45A 17-yard
28:46touchdown pass.
28:48The Jags
28:50with a
28:5010-point lead
28:51at the half.
28:57With that
28:58we take a look
28:59at the rest
28:59of the action
29:00going on
29:00around the NFL
29:01here in
29:02week 14.
29:04Meanwhile
29:05our game
29:05has not been
29:06all that
29:06competitive
29:07a one-sided
29:08affair
29:08through two
29:09quarters
29:10as we send
29:11you back
29:11out to
29:11the broadcast
29:12team
29:12Kate Scott
29:13and Brock
29:14Huard.
29:39Reid now
29:40to kick this one
29:40away.
29:46on the
29:46return
29:46here comes
29:47Cameron
29:48Johnson
29:49and in
29:50the end
29:50he's able
29:51to get it
29:51to what
29:51used to
29:52be a
29:52touchback
29:52gets at
29:53the 25-yard
29:53line.
29:54Todd
29:55rolls
29:55sending his
29:56bucks out
29:56for another
29:57drive.
29:58And
29:58unsurprisingly
29:59Brock a great
29:59day on the
30:00scoreboard so
30:01far for him
30:01has it with the
30:02advantage as we
30:02move through this
30:03third quarter.
30:09first look a little
30:10pistol formation as
30:11they come to the
30:12line.
30:12First and ten.
30:17What's up?
30:18Irving on the
30:19counter.
30:20Dropped by the
30:20first guy he met.
30:22No gain on that
30:22first down run.
30:24That's a nice quick
30:25correction for this
30:26front run.
30:27Give up the big play
30:28and then get a little
30:28back on the very
30:29next one.
30:30Exactly the kind of
30:31response you want to
30:32see from your defense.
30:33You got to forget
30:34about the big play for
30:34now and stay focused
30:36on that next snap.
30:37Short pass
30:38Ryan.
30:40They're going to have
30:41this up at the 44-yard
30:42line as they haul
30:43him down.
30:44They get 19 on that
30:46pickup.
30:46And that will be a
30:48Tampa Bay first down.
30:50Markers are reset.
30:51Here we go.
30:52Long to 44.
30:56And again, this is
30:57Irving.
30:58He sneaks this through
30:59the middle media
31:00gate of two.
31:05Well, this late
31:06in a year, Brock,
31:07just about every team
31:08in the league, as we
31:09all know, is battling
31:10some injury woes.
31:12And these guys are no
31:13exception.
31:14It's an unfortunate
31:15byproduct of any
31:16sport, but especially
31:17the trauma involved
31:18in this sport.
31:19You're going to lose
31:20guys over the course
31:20of a season.
31:21And the later in the
31:22season you're dealing
31:22with injuries, the more
31:24the depth of your watch
31:25for it is so tested.
31:26And now it's time for
31:27those lesser known
31:28names to make their
31:29name.
31:31Defender's not going to
31:31be thrilled.
31:32The catch was almost
31:33made on his watch,
31:34but more importantly,
31:35he breaks it up.
31:36Gives him a chance to
31:37do a little giant
31:38after the play.
31:39Let's see other guy
31:39I know he roughed him
31:40up and cost him
31:42that catch.
31:43That one is incomplete.
31:44Couldn't hang on
31:45through the content.
31:47You know, Kim, with the
31:48game that they've put
31:49together, it's surprising
31:50to see them really run
31:51into any hiccups when
31:52they appear.
31:53They move the ball very
31:54well throughout, just
31:55unsuccessful on that
31:57third down.
31:59And he's got this fair
32:00catch right along the
32:0112-yard line.
32:03Here comes the Saints
32:04offense.
32:05All the touchdowns have
32:07come from one side of
32:08the field, Brock.
32:08They're still looking for
32:09their first points of
32:10any kind in a game that
32:11has gotten out of hand.
32:14They kick the running
32:15back in motion.
32:18Finds him over the
32:19middle.
32:19And he maybe got back
32:21to the line there, but
32:22no further.
32:25Second and ten.
32:26They need something
32:26positive here.
32:28Ready.
32:29At the 12-yard line.
32:32They run it from the
32:33gun with Kamara.
32:35That's good for a few.
32:36And he brings up
32:36third down.
32:38You make that call to
32:39just give yourself a
32:40biting chance on third
32:41down, Keith.
32:42Take at least a little
32:43bite of the big needle
32:44between them and the
32:45first down marker.
32:46And that, that should
32:47make this upcoming call
32:48a little less daunting.
32:51Behind some time right.
32:53He's going to run for
32:54it.
32:55And we'll have it up to
32:55around the 23-yard line
32:57on the play.
32:58That one gained seven.
33:00And that's good for a
33:01new set of downs for
33:02New Orleans.
33:05Here we go.
33:07On the guy.
33:10Someone stepped in.
33:12It's intercepted.
33:13Kicked out by
33:14Levante Taiman.
33:19Intercepted.
33:21Levante take over
33:22first and ten.
33:23Well, no doubt they
33:24envision that as the
33:26start of a second half
33:27push for the lead.
33:28But the defense, well,
33:30defense had other ideas.
33:31Brock, protecting their
33:32team's advantage and
33:33taking possession back on
33:35the first play of the
33:36series.
33:36Not the way you needed to
33:37start the half if you
33:38were thinking comeback.
33:40But exactly the way to
33:41start the half if you're
33:43trying to take this lead
33:44and step on it.
33:45That's a defender who
33:46sensed the need for a
33:47splash play and
33:48delivers.
33:49So they'll head up here
33:50first and ten from the
33:52thirty-four.
33:53Good.
33:55Watch out.
33:57Hand down,
33:57getting right, Irving.
33:59Can't slip that initial
34:00tackle.
34:01Stops made for no gain on
34:02that first down play.
34:04The presence of those
34:05tight ends worked both
34:05ways, Brock.
34:06You know this.
34:07Gives them more blockers
34:07up front.
34:08But it also pulls the
34:09defense in to be ready
34:10for that run.
34:11Yeah, you can put seven
34:12blockers up there.
34:13Even put eight, I don't
34:14know, nine.
34:14All the blockers in the
34:15world.
34:16But if they don't work in
34:17concert together to create
34:18the lane, it doesn't matter.
34:20Throwing to the back of
34:21the end zone.
34:22And coverage holds up.
34:24Nicely done.
34:25They were tested, but they
34:26knocked it away in the end
34:27zone.
34:28That's going to bring up
34:28third down.
34:31Kool-Aid from Kinstry there
34:33defensively.
34:37180!
34:39Ridiculous, take him out!
34:41Go, stop, stop.
34:43Go, stop, stop, stop.
34:46Watch out!
34:46They take the hands off.
34:48Now it's Mayfield.
34:49Washed out of the pocket.
34:52Complete out to the right.
34:54And he stopped at the
34:5531-yard line.
34:57Feet and eyes, Kate.
34:59Feet and eyes.
34:59They so often tell the story
35:01of every position on the
35:02field.
35:02When that quarterback's
35:03feet and eyes move to his
35:04secondary read, and so
35:06often it's a tight end,
35:07it's incumbent on that
35:08defense to fly to the
35:09ball.
35:10You want to make that
35:10tackle, force the fourth
35:11down, it's like a great
35:13defensive effort to do it.
35:15It's a wonderful kicker,
35:16man.
35:17That is a coach's best
35:18friend.
35:19Saves him so much stress
35:20to have a guy he can
35:21really trust to go out
35:22and hit it from that
35:23distance consistently.
35:25Because from that far out,
35:26no kick is a guarantee.
35:31Chase McLaughlin,
35:32the kickoff for the
35:33Buccaneers.
35:35McLaughlin has it on the
35:36team, and he's ready to
35:37send this fly.
35:41Starting from the five.
35:44Coverage team gets him
35:45down at the 26-yard line.
35:47The New Orleans offense
35:49set to go now.
35:50And the turnovers have not
35:52helped as they find this
35:53game out of reach at the
35:54moment here in the third.
35:59Okay, Frank.
36:00Saints to the line now.
36:01First day and ten.
36:03Here we go.
36:04Here we go.
36:05Move 32.
36:07Now Rattler on the
36:08play thing.
36:09He's stepping up and
36:10takes off with this one.
36:12If you've heard me say
36:13it once, you've heard me
36:14say it a hundred times.
36:15Completions,
36:16completions,
36:17completions.
36:17Go that one in the pass,
36:18it is a scramble.
36:19But it makes the same
36:20thing, keeping this
36:21offense on schedule.
36:26Running behind center
36:28with Kamara.
36:29They stopped him just in
36:30time.
36:30He got back to the line,
36:31but denied the yard they
36:33needed.
36:34Third down coming up.
36:36Third down,
36:37one yard to go.
36:41Let's go now.
36:43QB sneak coming.
36:44And he'll get taken down
36:45after advancing this to the
36:4737.
36:48That's a short gain of one.
36:50And that's good for a
36:51Saints first down.
36:52Ready, set.
36:53You've set it down from
36:54the 37.
36:56First down.
36:57A gain of one yard.
36:58Yellow.
36:59First down, Saints.
37:01He calls his own number
37:02again.
37:03And that play right there,
37:04Brock, is this game in a
37:06nutshell.
37:07No points, but funny
37:08struggles.
37:09What a good late great
37:10John Wooden used to say,
37:11never confuse activity for
37:14achievement.
37:14We have not seen much
37:16achievement today.
37:18Shotgun snap to Rattler.
37:20Wow, wide open.
37:22He's complete.
37:23And he's going to take this
37:24down to the opposing 44.
37:27Give him 24 on that play.
37:29And that's good for a new
37:31set of downs for New
37:31Orleans.
37:32That's good.
37:33Here we go.
37:34First down.
37:3533.
37:36Yellow.
37:3624.
37:37Cut.
37:38Here's a give inside to
37:40Kamara.
37:40And this run is going to
37:41push up inside the 40.
37:43Give him seven there.
37:46With that real eight-yard
37:47scoops, here comes second
37:48and two.
37:50Here we go, set.
37:51Yellow.
37:53They stay on the ground
37:54with Kamara.
37:55And his short game gets
37:57them a new set of downs.
38:00You know what I like about
38:01a second and short run
38:02play, Kate?
38:03Yeah, I like getting a first
38:04down, but you know what I
38:05like even more?
38:06That's going to set up a
38:07play action pass in a similar
38:08down in distance, and that
38:10defense is going to have to
38:11key on the run.
38:13And he's going to have this
38:14run down to the 20.
38:16Give him 13 on that play.
38:18That's good for a Saints
38:19first down.
38:20Ready up.
38:23Saints first down.
38:25Again, the 13-yard.
38:26Let's go.
38:27First down.
38:28Okay, inside the red zone.
38:31Great time cut by Olave.
38:34And it's another first down
38:36on his drive.
38:37Man, it's time they're
38:38into first and goal.
38:40And the Saints,
38:41first down.
38:44Thankfully, only one
38:45quarter to play now.
38:46We've reached the end of
38:47three in this lopsided
38:49affair.
38:49It's going to be the Saints
38:51with the football, but any
38:52efforts might be futile
38:53facing that deficit.
39:11breaking the huddle.
39:12Here's first and goal.
39:14Here we go.
39:15Here we go.
39:18Looking now from the gun.
39:20We can touch down here,
39:22but they cannot connect.
39:23So that's going to send them
39:24back to the line for
39:25second and goal.
39:27As I watch practices today,
39:29Kate, both college and
39:30professionally, one thing is
39:31abundantly clear.
39:32Teams spend so much more time
39:34in the red zone.
39:36They know it's the money zone.
39:37And defensively, it's you can
39:39force incompletion.
39:40And he's got it.
39:41Touchdown, New Orleans.
39:43The Saints putting up points
39:45in a game decided.
39:49Well, Brock, you know this
39:50better than most.
39:50Sometimes these dudes can be
39:52a quarterback's best friend
39:54fighting in the tight end
39:55in the end zone for six.
39:56And it really has been that
39:57way for decades when you
39:59think about it, Kate.
40:00From John Mackey to Tony
40:01Gonzalez to Travis Kelsey.
40:02Now we'll pause.
40:03The officials want to take
40:04a good look at this and
40:06confirm it was indeed a
40:07touchdown.
40:08At least right here is
40:09where having all those
40:10camera angles comes into
40:12play.
40:12We're going to get a much
40:13clearer picture thanks to
40:14all the shots we've got.
40:15Yep, technology,
40:16everybody's friend right
40:17now.
40:18We get to watch it again
40:18and again.
40:19Unlike these officials,
40:21we've got to see it once
40:22in real time.
40:22We just have to see,
40:23is there clear enough
40:24evidence to overturn the
40:25call that was made down
40:27there on the field?
40:33So upon review, no
40:35touchdown, just an
40:36incomplete pass.
40:41Third down from the
40:42gun.
40:45And this is going to be a
40:46New Orleans touchdown.
40:48The Saints making the
40:50scoreboard look a touch
40:51better.
40:53Touchdown.
40:54Kate, we talked to enough
40:55coaches over the years and
40:57find me a good red zone
40:58offense and typically you'll
40:59find me a good creative
41:01quarterback.
41:02One that can extend the
41:03play, use his legs as
41:04effectively as he can his
41:06arm.
41:06Blake Groupie to try the
41:08extra point.
41:13Knocked the middle and
41:14somebody blocked it!
41:16And he's thrown down.
41:17It was a long shot after
41:19the block anyway and
41:20they're unable to add
41:21anything on top of that
41:23touchdown.
41:24And they're not going to be
41:25Doesn't that just sum it up
41:26in some way?
41:27Even when you do something
41:28positive, not on this day,
41:30not for this team,
41:31something still goes wrong
41:31at this point, guys might
41:33just want to throw up their
41:34hands and say, what does a
41:35block really matter?
41:36But you know, and I know,
41:38coaches hate that attitude.
41:39It's the antithesis of that
41:41to give up a block in that
41:43situation.
41:43The Buccaneer offense back
41:45out for another series.
41:47And they were able to
41:48contribute three points to
41:49the lead their last time
41:50out.
41:50Another chance to build on
41:51that advantage here.
41:54Good starting field
41:55position for the Buccaneers.
41:57First and ten.
41:59Good!
42:01Good!
42:02He gets it, Irving.
42:04It's not his drive.
42:05Rob Trent, first guy he met.
42:07No gain on that first down
42:08run.
42:09This offense is now left
42:11with some ground to make up
42:12a little bit here on second
42:13down after that drive starts
42:14with a very minimal gain.
42:19Play action.
42:21Here's Mayfield.
42:22Look at that power.
42:23Deep left side.
42:25Had the window to go deep
42:27but just couldn't make it
42:28happen.
42:29Now it's third down.
42:30With how hard it is to get
42:32an open look downfield,
42:34can't let the coverage off
42:35the hook with the drop.
42:37Saw open space started
42:38running before he was able
42:39to watch the ball into his
42:41hands.
42:42No connection on the last
42:43play.
42:43Now it's third down.
42:45Here he goes.
42:46Third and long.
42:47And he's going to go down.
42:49Great work by the Saints.
42:51And this defense makes this
42:52stop in a big way to bring
42:54up one down.
42:55Wow.
42:56It has been such a good day
42:57offensively for the guys
42:59up front.
42:59That's actually the first
43:00sack by this defense.
43:02And now comes the real
43:03question mark.
43:03Will it lead to more?
43:04Or will this offense learn a
43:06lesson and get back to the
43:07rhythm they've been in for
43:08technically?
43:09The Saints come marching
43:10onto the field.
43:12And the turnovers block a big
43:13reason they've played
43:14themselves out of this one.
43:15Hopefully they can keep it
43:16clean here if nothing else.
43:18Yeah, well, this drive isn't
43:19putting it to this game maybe
43:20anymore, Kate.
43:21This drive is for next week.
43:22They just want something
43:23positive here to end the game
43:24and carry forward into the
43:26practices ahead.
43:30He's taken down just a couple
43:32of yards shy of the 40.
43:34We set a downs for him and
43:35he'll start at the 38.
43:40Here's Rattler, first and
43:4110.
43:43Got a deep on the line.
43:44Oh, the ball is out.
43:46But I believe the Saints got
43:48this one back.
43:49Yep, someone landed on top of
43:51that one.
43:52Well, I think you know the
43:53only thing redeeming about
43:54that play, Kate.
43:55They got the ball back.
43:56Yeah, well done.
43:57Yeah, they got the ball back
43:58for a whole lot longer down
44:00the distance.
44:01Down.
44:03Black 40.
44:04Running back sense in motion.
44:10Throwing his Rattler.
44:14And he doesn't see a winner
44:15he likes, so he just got a
44:16win of that one.
44:17He wins up third down.
44:20The coverage by Zaya
44:30Rattler's setting the throw.
44:32Finds the in route complete.
44:34And this one's brought to a
44:35halt at about the 36-yard line.
44:39Awareness.
44:39You've got to be aware.
44:41Play caller, quarterback,
44:42receiver have to be aware of
44:44where the sticks are.
44:45They're about just not enough,
44:46not deep enough to extend the
44:48drive and move the chains.
44:51And they'll turn it over on
44:52downs as that pass comes on
44:54Beth D and off the field
44:55they go.
44:57And that play doesn't get it
44:59done.
44:59We've got a turnover on downs.
45:02Time for us to get another
45:03look at this Tampa Bay
45:04offense.
45:05They were only on the field
45:07for three plays their prior
45:08series, Brock.
45:08Let's see what changes they
45:09make to take over here.
45:15Erving here from the gun.
45:17And he powers ahead for about
45:19five.
45:19It's going to be second and
45:20five.
45:30First down run gets him six.
45:32So now it is second and four.
45:35Baker now from the gun.
45:40And he'll pick up enough to
45:42move the chains.
45:44Play like this.
45:45That's exactly where you want
45:46to get him the ball.
45:47Right on the outside.
45:48Where he's got the space and a
45:50lot more room to work.
45:51First and ten at the 25 yard
45:53line.
45:54First and ten.
45:55It's a give to White.
45:57Nick Snack coming inside the
45:58red zone.
45:59Brock picks up nine on the
46:00play.
46:02That does not show up on any
46:04explosive stat sheet.
46:05But let me tell you, Kate,
46:06that's the real deal right
46:07there.
46:08You run for that kind of
46:09yardage consistently in the
46:11NFL.
46:11You do set yourself up for
46:13success.
46:14This is Erving on second.
46:17And he's brought down after a
46:18great game.
46:19That's going to set up first
46:20and goal.
46:21That right there.
46:22That will make the coaches
46:23happy.
46:24He did just get the first
46:25down.
46:25We've got a healthy chunk of
46:26bonus yards afterwards.
46:29First and goal.
46:30at the three yard line.
46:40They'll break the huddle and
46:42come up on first and goal.
46:45Good.
46:47Watch out.
46:48They'll try and punch it in.
46:50And the defense holds.
46:51Brock, they catch him at the
46:52four.
46:53He only gets back to that
46:54line of scrimmage.
46:56With each carry he gets,
46:57Brock, I'm starting to
46:58wonder, is this going to be the
46:59last touch that he gets
47:00in this game because it
47:02hasn't been a great
47:02performance for him.
47:03No, individually,
47:05collectively.
47:05And you can look up.
47:06And he's in for the
47:07touchdown.
47:09The Buccaneers continue
47:10piling it on here in the
47:12fourth.
47:14That was a great response,
47:16Brock.
47:16After they got driven
47:17backwards on first down,
47:18they go right back to the
47:19ground and score just one
47:20play later.
47:21Yeah, and I think if you and
47:22I were in the huddle down
47:23there after that first down
47:24loss, I think we would have
47:25felt a whole bunch of pride.
47:27Give me another shot and boy
47:29did they deliver.
47:30McGloughlin attack on the
47:31extra point.
47:36Right down the middle.
47:37It's good.
47:38And the Buccaneers continue
47:40piling onto this lead.
47:42Saints 6.
47:48Chase McGloughlin to kick off
47:50for the Buccaneers.
47:51McGloughlin has it on the
47:52team and he's ready to send
47:54this fly.
47:58Return starts at the 3.
48:00And that's going to set them
48:02up just beyond their own 20.
48:04The Saints ready to return
48:05their offense to the field.
48:07And all game, they have
48:08struggled to attack this
48:10deficit.
48:10Maybe they can do a little
48:11window dressing here.
48:13Ready, ready.
48:18And they take him down at
48:20the 24-yard line.
48:23A game of two brings up
48:26second and eight at the
48:2724-yard line.
48:30Eight yards to go.
48:31Let's see how they approach
48:32his second down.
48:36Rattler back to throw.
48:40No place to go, so he just
48:42threw it away.
48:44I've got to believe he
48:45harkened back to that
48:46earlier pick.
48:46He thought the better of
48:47making another.
48:48Getting outside the pocket,
48:49he was either going to try to
48:50run for it and nowhere to go,
48:51so he simply threw it away.
48:53In motion right as Cooks.
48:56On third down, here's Rattler.
48:59We had it for a moment, but
49:00a great defensive play.
49:02Jarrett loose, incomplete.
49:04We see this all the time.
49:06The number one thing you see
49:07NFL defense is...
49:17Try to force that fourth down.
49:19Gets it down covered.
49:20Put your cover guys on the field.
49:22Let the boys have front cut it
49:24loose with pressure.
49:25Let the cover guys go shut it
49:26down.
49:29And he can't obey the
49:30coverage team for much.
49:31They stop him before he gets
49:32really anything on that
49:33return.
49:34Now the Buccaneers set to
49:36take the field.
49:37And I think they'd be content
49:38doing everything the same as
49:40their prior drive and getting
49:41another touchdown here.
49:47Tampa Bay bringing the
49:48offense to the line.
49:49It's first and ten.
49:54going back in the backfield
49:56and he gets the handoff.
49:58A lot of effort there, Parker,
49:59but no results.
50:00He fought through that one
50:01stop, but only managed to get
50:03back to the line of scrimmage.
50:04Well, the extra blocking
50:06sure didn't spring that run the
50:07way they hoped it would, Brock.
50:09In the old West Coast system,
50:10he called 12 personnel, two
50:11tight ends Tiger.
50:12Tiger package comes on the
50:14field.
50:14That was a whole lot more
50:15of a kitty cat effort there.
50:18And give him six on the
50:19rod as that play takes us to
50:21the two-minute warning.
50:22We've hit the two-minute
50:23warning here in Tampa.
50:26Buccaneers approaching win
50:27number seven on the year.
50:40Here they go, getting set for
50:41third and four.
50:43We're ready.
50:46We're ready.
50:48Here's the backup.
50:49First throw.
50:50Escapes the pocket.
50:54Defender arrives right as the
50:55ball does, and the hit knocks
50:56it free.
50:57Incomplete.
50:59The members tell us pretty
51:00clearly, you get to third,
51:01it's long, extra long, it's
51:03really hard to stay on the
51:04field.
51:04That's disappointing, because
51:06that was third and manageable
51:07and incomplete.
51:15He has it at the 22.
51:17And he's brought down before the
51:18return gets far.
51:20New Orleans back on offense and
51:22ready to go now.
51:23And they'll get one final chance
51:25in a game that, to put it mildly,
51:27Brock has been a bit of a
51:28miserable experience for him.
51:3160 red.
51:34First play of the drive, and he
51:35takes an option left.
51:37And he stopped quickly here, two
51:39yards on the play, and we've got
51:40second and eight.
51:42That's the kind of yardage that's
51:44not going to kill this drive on the
51:45first play.
51:46But it does put you a little bit
51:48behind schedule.
51:49Now second down becomes critical,
51:50because nobody wants a three-night.
51:52Take it in by Vele, right side.
51:55And that tackle stomps in after a
51:57solid game.
51:59Third and a lone yard coming up.
52:02Kick the running back in motion.
52:05Looking to throw on third and one.
52:07Complete beyond the marker.
52:09They need to be brought down a
52:11step or two shy in midfield.
52:12They're going to back it at the 48.
52:15It's a new set of downs.
52:16Here we go.
52:17First and ten.
52:20Maybe a bit of desperation.
52:21Here's a deep shot.
52:22Brought in inside the 20.
52:25He's out of bounds on a gain that
52:27takes him into the red zone, Brock.
52:28Inside the 15.
52:30What a spot for a big play, huh,
52:32Brock?
52:33It has him well into the red zone
52:34now with first and ten.
52:38Pressures there, and the Bucks got him.
52:40And the big play drives the
52:42backwards.
52:43Second down coming up.
52:45The losing center guards.
52:47It's second down.
52:53Sound of cannons, baby.
52:55The Buccaneers win it here in Tampa.
52:57And they take not just a victory,
53:00but some serious year-long bragging rights
53:02home with them after this one
53:03as they finish off the sweep
53:05of their division rivals.
53:13So that puts a bow on this one
53:15for my partner, Brock Huard,
53:17and everyone involved on our crew.
53:19I'm Kate Scott signing off.
