00:01He'll get the football here, and he'll have the first down, getting this one to the 14-yard line.
00:08It's a pick-up of six and good enough to move the chains.
00:12On third down, that's a good job of situational football and understanding where the first down marker was and getting
00:18there.
00:25So the offense has it first and Tim.
00:32Tripp! Tripp!
00:33Ready!
00:345'8! 5'8!
00:36Breeze now on first down.
00:38That's complete right around the 8.
00:40A good pick-up there.
00:42Eight yards on the first down completion.
00:46Never make the mistake that the slot receivers, especially the little guys like we're watching here, are just quicker than
00:52fast.
00:52A lot of them combine quickness and speed, and they catch a lot of footballs as we just saw there.
00:58And here comes play number six on this drive.
01:09Now Ingram, he's been busy today.
01:12And he is in for the score.
01:15Touchdown, New Orleans!
01:18Mark Ingram, a five-yard touchdown run!
01:22And the Saints now had six to their lead.
01:25I know the play ends up in the end zone with one person carrying the ball, but how about that
01:30big mass of humanity that guided him to that spot?
01:33Yeah, they got there, but I love the dive.
01:35Always a fan of the dive.
01:42Now Forbath for the extra point.
01:50It's good to make it 17-7.
01:57So that drives seven plays in length.
02:00And it's Mark Ingram who caps it off with a touchdown run.
02:06Go!
02:08Go!
02:11Go!
02:14Go!
02:38Morstead out now
02:40following the touchdown to kick
02:44Puss is fielded at the goal line
02:49and he'll get it up to about the 26 yard line
02:52just across the 25
02:57now the Falcons offense gets ready to head back onto the field
03:01and down on the scoreboard
03:03certainly needing to avoid what happened on the last drive
03:06punting the football
03:08sense of urgency has to take over for them here
03:10they know the score
03:11they know the situation
03:13and by the way
03:14the punter no longer exists for their offense
03:16that's how they have to treat this drive
03:18they need points
03:19big time
03:33they come out here in the eye
03:38now Ryan going to give it to Freeman
03:39ball at a 360
03:43no gain on the play there
03:45second down
03:45two minutes to go here in the first half
03:49we're back to New Orleans
03:51after this
04:02back now
04:03as I search for my cue card
04:05here
04:05there we go
04:06coming up at halftime
04:07Larry Ridley will join us from Orlando
04:09he'll have highlights
04:10and analysis
04:12from our first half
04:13of play
04:15well read
04:16thank you
04:32on second down
04:33here's Ryan
04:34and Tammy with it
04:36over the middle
04:36the reception
04:38good for seven
04:39it's third down
04:41they brought in an extra defensive back here
04:44so probably not expecting a run on third and three
04:46good call
04:48now it's Ryan
04:50and that's caught by Tammy
04:52it'll go as a gain of six that time
04:54and it moves the chains as well
04:56and now it looks like they're going to be in the hurry up
05:00Ryan
05:01swings it out to the flat for Freeman
05:03and he gets this one to midfield
05:06before he's brought down
05:0712 yards on the pickup
05:09and it'll be first down Atlanta
05:14from midfield now
05:16here's Ryan
05:16he's got time in the pocket
05:20connects with Sanu
05:21right side
05:22and he'll be taken down
05:24but not before getting this
05:26inside the 30
05:27and those first downs do add up
05:29the offense keeps the ball moving downfield
05:31and keeps their defense on the bench
05:33giving them a chance to rest
05:52now hold everything here
05:53we're going to get a timeout
05:54by the offense
05:56it's just their first
05:57so they'll have two remaining here
05:59before we get to halftime
06:13so the offensive unit called the T.O.
06:16and now we are ready to resume play
06:44first down and 10 now
06:46for the offensive group
06:54throwing now
06:55Ryan on first down
06:57and a quick throw here
06:59that's complete
06:59and down inside the 15
07:02shy of the 10
07:03now whistles come in
07:06we're going to get a timeout here
07:07by the offense
07:08so that means they're down to one remaining here
07:11as we head toward halftime
07:38and the next snap
07:39coming inside the red zone here
07:51now a play fake here on first down
07:55deep drop
07:56and that incompletion
07:58breaks a string of five straight connections
08:00and it's second down
08:02good job by the O-line quarterback
08:04had time to go through his checks
08:06that's one you need to take advantage of
08:08a perfect situation
08:09and they're unable to take advantage of it
08:11when you have that much time to scan the field
08:13you have to find an open receiver
08:24second and 10 now
08:25Ryan
08:26this will be caught at about the five
08:28and they'll get nine there
08:30as that sets them up better for third down
08:32partner
08:33it's a lot of fun watching the NFL now
08:35isn't it
08:36because when the big fellow runs routes
08:38it used to be when we were kids
08:40he'd run about three different routes
08:41and that was it
08:42now he can run anything
08:44and catch the balls
08:45we just saw there
08:46this will be play number eight here on the drive
08:48it's third and a yard
08:57now a handoff
08:59it's Freeman
09:01give him a yard on the play
09:02and he's definitely short
09:03it'll be fourth down
09:04and a few inches
09:06now hold everything here
09:07we're going to get a timeout
09:08by the offense
09:10and with halftime on the horizon
09:12they'll be out of timeouts
09:13from here forward
09:17and we're back
09:18the offense had a chance
09:19to talk things over
09:21and we'll see what they come up with
09:22here on this next play
09:40the Falcons will call on Matt Bryant
09:42for the field goal try
09:43less than an extra point attempt here
09:45this is an 18 yarder
09:51and the 14 year trusty veteran
09:54able to knock it through
09:55and they're back within a touchdown
09:57it's 17 to 10
09:59so a field goal here
10:01they're still down
10:01but they put a dent
10:02into that lead before the break
10:04and that's got to feel good
10:05because now they've seen
10:06that they can put some more points
10:08on the board
10:08and that gives them a whole second half
10:10to get back to where they want to be
10:12and that's in the lead
10:33here's Bosher to kick it away
10:39now it's Murphy
10:44and a nice return
10:45sets him up pretty good
10:46here at the 30 yard line
11:08double tight guys
11:09double tight
11:18a handoff
11:19it's Mark England
11:20look at the spin
11:22balance
11:23now whistles come in
11:25we're going to get a timeout here
11:26by the offense
11:27so as they take it over
11:29we step aside
11:39so the offense takes the timeout
11:41and they are back out
11:42and ready to rock
12:01and you see the clock
12:02almost empty
12:03so this is likely the last play
12:05in the second quarter
12:11the final shot before half
12:13for Braves
12:16into a double team
12:17and it's intercepted
12:18it's Desmond Truffaut
12:20and he will be brought down
12:21as time has now run out
12:23on this first half of action

12:35the Saints have an edge in time of possession right now
12:38the Falcons though are still right in this game
12:40and we'll certainly be looking for a way to pull this one out in the second half
12:45so let's take a look at some of the highlights from the first half
12:51Saints with the football early first
12:53Breeze is going to find his mark
12:55and that connection will lead to a gate of 19 yards
12:58Saints have it later on the drive
13:00Spiller is going to stay inside after the handoff
13:03and he counts off the 7 play drive with a score
13:05that takes the lead up to 7
