00:01Falcons have the football early in the first, Freeman's gonna spin away, and he'll go for the score.
00:06The Falcons up by a touchdown.
00:09We go now to early in the second, quick pass is complete, and he won't be brought down until he
00:14makes it to the 33-yard line.
00:16Falcons wind up throwing a pick on the drive.
00:24Now to late in the second, the quick pass and completion is made, and he kept off the long drive
00:29with a touchdown, cutting the deficit to three.
00:36So that's it for us at the EA Sports Studio.
00:39We'll go back now to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for the start of the second half.
00:59We'll go back now.
01:17So both teams have their marching orders, and we'll get going again here in quarter number three.
01:23There's Eric Weems now on the return.
01:27And he'll take it up past the 25 to the 26-yard line.
01:36Atlanta now coming out on the field.
01:39They have the lead now.
01:40They'll be looking to extend that lead.
01:42And this is where I enjoy talking about one of my favorite subjects, tendency breakers, or counters as I also
01:49like to call them.
01:50You've done things in a certain way in the first half, and they've had the ability to see what you've
01:55done.
01:56They're going to make their adjustments.
01:57So guess what?
01:58You adjust yourself and try and stay ahead of the pace because you are looking for some separation in this
02:04ballgame.
02:05The adjustment to the adjustment.
02:06Without a doubt.
02:07Show them one thing, hit them with something else.
02:11Third quarter starts with a run by Freeman.
02:14It's a seven-yard carry to set them up with a second and three.
02:18Some runs are blocked so well, you almost forget that someone has to carry the ball to gain the yardage.
02:23The leverage by the offensive line to create space up front, really well done.
02:34Offense staying ahead of the chains here, second and three.
02:44Off the play fake to Freeman.
02:46It's Ryan.
02:47And a hit, jarred it loose.
02:50It's incomplete.
02:52It looked like they had something there, but I think that he was thinking about running with the football before
02:57he actually hauled it in, and that led to a big drop.
03:04So incomplete on second down.
03:06Now they'll look to convert here on third.
03:14Ryan now to throw on third down.
03:16And he's got some.
03:18And he's taken down at the 43, but now before picking up the first.
03:23So he makes the grab and the chains move forward.
03:27Nice job by the offensive line, giving them time to complete that first down pass.
03:47They'll throw on first down with Ryan.
03:50Toward the sideline, and look at that catch.
03:53He's dragging the toes, and that's going to be a first down.
03:56Well done.
03:57I do have to admit, I like it when it all comes together.
04:01When the top part, catching the football, right?
04:04Whether you're catching it with your hands or cradling it, comes together with the legs.
04:09In this case, the feet did a little toe tap to stay inbounds and complete the catch.
04:14And a great job by our crew on the camera shot.
04:16Love when you see the grass or on the field turf, those rubber pellets flying up.
04:20Great catch.
04:26Freeman, the lone man in the backfield.
04:31And he'll get it up the middle.
04:32And they went the wrong way there.
04:34Losing yardage back at the 43-yard line.
04:38It's a loss of a yard there, and now second down.
04:42Hardener, I think there's a lesson there.
04:43Some days you're just having a really tough time, and for the defense, today has been that day.
04:48But after that play, what do you learn?
04:50You can still make plays, even when the other guy's having success against you.
04:58They come up in an offset eye.
05:03On second down, here's Ryan.
05:05Surveying the field.
05:07And they will not get the connection there.
05:09It's incomplete.
05:10Trying to get that in the hands of Devontae Freeman that time.
05:13And it's third down.
05:27Third and 11.
05:29Five in the secondary now.
05:30Nickel look.
05:32On third down, Ryan.
05:35And this is going to be incomplete.
05:51There's Matt Bosher now, as he's on to punt for Atlanta.
06:04And they'll play keep away from the returner, as this one will be marked out of bounds at the 13
06:09-yard line.
06:10Pretty good spot.
06:11A look at the offense now here, coming back out on the road for their first possession of the second
06:16half.
06:17They were able to get the stop defensively.
06:19Now a chance to turn that into points on the offensive end.
06:22Can you imagine what the grease board looks like at the half?
06:25Tell me.
06:26Because that's exactly what they printed up.
06:28Stop them on defense.
06:30Get the ball back for our offense.
06:32And go downfield and score some points.
06:34Now, the last part remains to be seen.
06:36But they got the first part done very well.
06:38Do people use grease boards?
06:40Or you mean the magic marker boards?
06:42Yeah, those two.
06:47Another tope for the workhorse.
06:49Martin.
06:49Oh, it shifts past him.
06:51And brought down, but not before they're able to get it up to the 25.
06:5511 yards on the pickup.
06:57And that'll be good enough for a Tampa Bay first down.
07:01For so many years, I was convinced it was a myth.
07:04You know, because you always hear about the smaller running back.
07:06Like, it's lost.
07:07You can't find him.
07:08And sometimes that's part of his genius.
07:10But it's true.
07:11You get behind big offensive linemen.
07:14The defensive line guy's trying to find him.
07:16Trying to peek around people to see him.
07:18And he gets lost.
07:19But this guy gets lost in a good way for his offense.
07:22Picking up big yardage.
07:24Here's Martin.
07:25Give him a couple on the carry there.
07:27Second and eight.
07:29Let's give a lot of credit to the offensive line.
07:32They've been able to move the ball really well on the ground the entire game.
07:35And while that wasn't a huge one, that's okay.
07:37They'll take him a short, steady burst.
07:39Eight yards to go here on second down.
07:51And off comes to Martin.
07:53Fighting him off.
07:55Ran right through the trash.
07:56It'll be a gain of five, but still about three yards shy of the first down marker.
08:01And now it's third down.
08:02You know what really fires up offensive linemen?
08:05When the guy that is carrying the ball behind them can create his own space and break a tackle along
08:10the way.
08:20Third and short yardage.
08:21Winston.
08:23And he'll just toss it away.
08:26So he throws it away and that brings up fourth down.
08:29Partner, how many times have you heard it?
08:31Pressure creates diamonds, right?
08:33But it also burns pipes.
08:35And on that one, that's what they got.
08:37They got after him.
08:38And he was fortunate just to get rid of it.
08:40Yeah, he just had to chuck it away.
08:41Here's Brian Anger now.
08:43He's been terrific so far.
08:45He's been terrific so far.
