00:05They go play action for Ingram, now Breeze.
00:10It's caught left side by Colts.
00:12But he's taken down, but not before he gets this into enemy territory across the 40.
00:18Well we know he's got the speed, there he needed the speed and the hands.
00:22A great catch.
00:24And because of that speed, you have to respect it as a defender.
00:27So you have to either play off or make sure you're somehow in contact with him.
00:32And he's able to do exactly what you said.
00:34Use the speed to his advantage and go up and get the football.
00:38That's a big time play right there.
00:51Breeze now on first down.
00:53Looking left side and completing it to Thomas.
00:56Five yards on the catch there.
00:58Brings up second down.
01:13Completed pass play, now let's see if they go back to the air or to the ground.
01:17Go to the left.
01:18Move.
01:21Go down.
01:22Go down.
01:22Ready.
01:2290.
01:25Breeze to throw on second down.
01:28He gets it to Thomas.
01:30And down inside the 15 he goes.
01:33And a good quarterback facing zone coverage.
01:36If he has just a little bit of time to survey the scene, that's what's going to happen.
01:40No doubt about it.
01:41If there's no pressure, he's going to continue to pick them apart because he'll have all that
01:45time to find someone open downfield.
01:47He can only cover for so long.
01:49So maybe they want to go to his own blitz scheme.
01:52Get a little bit more pressure.
01:53Remember when Carolina did that against Denver?
01:55They lost the game ultimately.
01:57They dropped the defensive end out and he ended up with an interception in that game
02:00in Super Bowl 50.
02:02Maybe some sort of scheme like that to try and get more pressure at the passer.
02:06And he'll be taken down here at about the 11.
02:09Three yards on the pickup there and it'll be second down.
02:12We always like to talk about defense in terms of levels.
02:15First level defensive line, second level linebackers, third level defensive backs.
02:19On that run, that was what we call a first level run and it was stopped by a second level
02:25player.
02:26They come up with one back.
02:28That's Ingram.
02:32On second down, here's Brees.
02:35Finding time.
02:36And he just chucked that one out of bounds, out of everyone's reach.
02:40Maybe a wise call not to take a sack in this part of the field.
02:43It brings up third down.
02:45And nobody was hoping downfield there looked like a pretty clear throwaway.
02:48Yeah, it definitely was that.
02:51I'm wondering why there wasn't intentional grounding.
02:53I know they're saying there's a receiver there in the area.
02:57Those down quarterbacks, they get away with everything.
03:00Spoken like a true defensive back, Mr. Davis.
03:03Did that come out?
03:04It did.
03:04Okay.
03:06And for the Falcons, five men in the secondary.
03:09Now on third.
03:11Here's Brees.
03:13And that is incomplete.
03:15Kobe Flaner, the tight end, his intended target.
03:18And it's fourth down.
03:19Down here in the red zone, you know your tight end is going to be a favorite target.
03:23Couldn't hang on.
03:24And sometimes they just have to get out of their own head.
03:27Because they understand how tight windows are there.
03:30And how many bodies are there.
03:31And sometimes they just overthink it and don't catch the ball.
03:47So out comes the field goal team now for the second time here today.
03:57And Forbath will put this one through.
03:59And they double them up here.
04:01That makes our score 20 to 10.
04:03So it goes down as an eight play drive and they cap it with the field goal.
04:07Yeah, they were able to pick up a few first downs along the way.
04:10But they couldn't keep the momentum going all the way into the end zone.
04:39More stead the punter out to kick it off.
04:45This is taken at the three.
04:50They'll bring it back to just about the 25.
04:52Call it the 24 yard line.
05:17Here comes the Atlanta offense now ready to take over here.
05:21And on the last go around they really couldn't get anything going.
05:24They had to come from deep inside their own territory.
05:26Which means you're going to lose the field position battle as a general rule.
05:30What they're looking for now is a little more consistency.
05:33Move the ball at least a few times on offense.
05:35Get a couple of first downs.
05:37And hopefully flip the field.
05:38Just something to build off of.
05:40That's what they're looking for here.
05:41The goal of a wide receiver screen is get enough blockers in front to create a wall and let him
05:46pick his spot to run the football.
05:47How about the defense there?
05:49Swarming to it and not allowing that to happen.
05:51Did not let him get down field.
05:59Second down now after the pass completion.
06:10On second down here's Ryan.
06:12Sunil with a grab over the middle.
06:14No gain that time on the completion and it'll be third down.
06:20And that's when it's fun to play defense.
06:21When you're able to diagnose the play right from the beginning.
06:24Get all your guys to the football and still the play.
06:27That's when you have a lot of fun playing on that side of the ball.
06:39Still nine yards to go on third down.
06:49On third down, Ryan.
06:51And that's caught by Tammy.
06:53And he's going to have a first down as he's brought down at the 44 yard line.
06:58And the game just keeps evolving.
07:00Big guys running those corner routes.
07:03So difficult to cover.
07:20Fresh set of downs here.
07:22Key to tight end.
07:23Key to tight end.
07:24Key to tight end.
07:25Hey, go down.
07:27Go down.
07:28Go down.
07:29Go down.
07:29Go down.
07:29Let's go.
07:30Let's go.
07:32Now a play fake here on first down.
07:36Toward the sideline.
07:37And look at that catch.
07:38Dragging the toes.
07:39And that's going to be a first down.
07:41Well done.
07:43He's been a busy man here in this one.
07:45And they're showing off some nice footwork to stay in bounds.
07:48And with those types of catches and the volume that we've seen in this game.
07:51And wouldn't you keep him busy as well?
07:53I would.
07:53Of course.
07:54You've got to keep throwing it to him.
07:55He keeps making plays.
08:13On the counter.
08:15Devontae Freeman.
08:16And brought down but able to get it to their 30-yard line.
08:20It'll go as a gain of 12.
08:22And it'll give the Falcons a first down.
08:26Really good, skillful, tough running throughout this contest.
08:29Picked up first down after first down.
08:31He's got to have a nickname, doesn't he?
08:33How about the human first down machine?
08:35I think that fits.
08:39And this should be the final play before the quarter ends.
08:47Three quarters have come and gone.
08:49We'll return with more after this break.
08:51You're watching the NFL on EA Sports.
