00:00Showing off some nice footwork to stay in bounds.
00:02And with those types of catches and the volume that we've seen in this game,
00:06wouldn't you keep him busy as well?
00:07I would.
00:08Of course, you've got to keep throwing it to him.
00:10He keeps making plays.
00:27On the counter, Devontae Freeman.
00:31And brought down, but able to get it to their 30-yard line.
00:35It'll go as a gain of 12.
00:37And it'll give the Falcons a first down.
00:40Really good, skillful, tough running throughout this contest.
00:43Picked up first down after first down.
00:46He's got to have a nickname, doesn't he?
00:48How about the human first down machine?
00:49I think that fits.
00:53And this should be the final play before the quarter ends.
01:01Three quarters have come and gone.
01:03We'll return with more after this break.
01:06You're watching the NFL on EA Sports.
01:12Back now here live in New Orleans.
01:15It's the Falcons.
01:16They'll have the football, but trailing on the scoreboard as we get set to begin the fourth.
01:33And on the outside, they're playing press coverage.
01:42Now Ryan on first down.
01:45He's going to find his running back.
01:46It's complete.
01:47And they'll be inside the 25 now at the 24.
01:51Six yards on the pickup.
01:53And that'll make this a second down.
01:55I'm going to show my age here a little bit.
01:57We used to talk about running backs catching the ball as safety valves.
02:01Nowadays, they're a big part of the passing offense.
02:03Quit acting like you're so old.
02:06You're only 65.
02:08Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:14Now Ryan on second down.
02:17That is caught right at the 10-yard line.
02:20And he'll take it into the end zone.
02:23Touchdown Atlanta.
02:25Jacob Tamby.
02:27A 24-yard touchdown.
02:29And the Falcons have cut it to within a score.
02:33Big score.
02:34First step in their attempt to climb back into this game.
02:37Yes, but still some work to do as they get within a score here.
02:47Here's Bryant for the extra point.
02:55It's up and good.
02:57And the lead's now down to three at 20-17.
03:02So the drive winds up going 75 yards in seven plays.
03:06And in the end, the finishing touch, an 11-yard run.
03:14So the drive winds up going 75 yards in seven plays.
03:40Now after the touchdown, it's Bosher to kick it away.
03:46Now it's Murphy.
03:48Oh, look at that.
03:49Oh, look at him turn.
03:51And a pretty good return here.
03:53He'll be stopped just shy of the 25 at the 24-yard line.
04:15Now the Saints offense, they get ready to go back to work here.
04:19And last time they got three points, but it was a chip shot field goal.
04:22And when you go to the sideline after a chip shot, maybe the offense not too happy.
04:27It's a balancing act, isn't it?
04:28Because you're exactly right.
04:29They're none too pleased that they didn't punch it in for six points.
04:33But they also have to remember, they did put points on the board.
04:36Three points is three points.
04:36And in this league, you take points when you can get them.
04:39Not easily done.
04:41The fourth quarter here, they've got the lead.
04:43They want to keep it on the ground.
04:44That's what they're doing.
04:46Smart football.
04:47Keep the clock grinding.
04:48Keep it going.
04:49But you've got to figure now, they're going to see more people stacked up in the line of scrimmage
04:53as they try and bleed it out.
04:55On second down, Ingram.
04:58And he'll be brought down shy of the 40 at the 38-yard line.
05:01It's a nine-yard gain, and it keeps the drive moving.
05:05And that's a nice pickup of the first down on that second down run.
05:08And at that yardage game, they can run that plan any down.
