spk_0 A chance for a statement tonight for the Jacksonville Jaguars
spk_0 at home in prime time.
spk_0 And this type of spotlight is old hat for Kansas City.
spk_0 But they know they have to take these Jags seriously.
spk_0 In DuVall, it's a new team and new purpose.
spk_0 And they tell you they're capable of a lot more than they've shown.
spk_0 So far, you're in for a great one tonight.
spk_0 On Monday night football bugs, we welcome you in to NFL Live.
spk_0 Did any of you guys think I was going to say DuVall differently?
spk_0 Did it scare you?
spk_0 I thought she was going to drag it a little bit.
spk_0 I did.
spk_0 I did the head bob.
spk_0 Can you say it again?
spk_0 It's all about my confidence.
spk_0 It's good.
spk_0 On the vibe.
spk_0 I think everyone's fault is accented.
spk_0 Everyone should have to say it right now.
spk_0 Okay, go down the line.
spk_0 Marcus Spears first.
spk_0 DuVall.
spk_0 All right, go ahead, Mina Kimes.
spk_0 DuVall.
spk_0 Okay, Ryan Clark.
spk_0 DuVall.
spk_0 Oh, you're right.
spk_0 You're right.
spk_0
spk_0 You're right.
spk_0 You're right.
spk_0
spk_0 You're right.
spk_0 That's how they do it.
spk_0 You're right.
spk_0 Okay, so that's a new way to introduce the people on the show.
spk_0 Glad to meet you.
spk_0
spk_0 Today, remember, we are two hours on Mondays.
spk_0 So we will be with you all the way until 5 p.m.
spk_0 in West P.N. with what happens.
spk_0 Yesterday, the Broncos taken on the Eagles.
spk_0 Early fourth quarter is where we're going to pick this up.
spk_0 The Broncos are down 17 to three.
spk_0 First and goal.
spk_0 JK Dobbins has been so good, Dan.
spk_0 It's shocking how healthy he looks.
spk_0 He looks like JK Dobbins three, four, five years ago.
spk_0 How good he looks.
spk_0 And then Bo Nick's this fourth quarter was outstanding.
spk_0 How fast he played.
spk_0 Evan Ingram finding a way to get into the end zone.
spk_0 John Peyton decides to go for two.
spk_0 So the Broncos attempting the two point conversion.
spk_0 Nick spines Troy Franklin in the end zone.
spk_0 It's good.
spk_0 The Broncos go up 18 to 17.
spk_0 And it's this going to be the first loss of the season
spk_0 for the Eagles.
spk_0 The Broncos handed to them on the road.
spk_0 Just over five minutes to go in the game.
spk_0 Same score.
spk_0 Jaylin Hertz finds Devotee's mid down the sideline.
spk_0 Thirty-yard game, but a flag is thrown.
spk_0 You're going to see it here.
spk_0 Saquon Barkley is called for an illegal shift.
spk_0 So the Eagles punt the ball.
spk_0 Just over two minutes left.
spk_0 Broncos lead 18 to 17.
spk_0 Vonex finds RJ Harvey.
spk_0 I thought this flag was terrible.
spk_0 I mean, he's right.
spk_0 Zach Vaughn running to the football.
spk_0 It's not a malicious hit.
spk_0 He gets there almost simultaneously.
spk_0 Bad call.
spk_0 All right, nine seconds to go in the game.
spk_0 Same score.
spk_0 The Eagles trying to make it happen right here.
spk_0 We've beaten Tim from the Broncos 29.
spk_0 Bless you, Mina.
spk_0 Hertz throws down field.
spk_0 Cannot connect with Dallas Goddard.
spk_0 Nick Seriani is looking for a flag.
spk_0 You see it there.
spk_0 It Goddard was grabbed as he tries to make the catch.
spk_0 But no flag was thrown.
spk_0 So the next play.
spk_0 The Eagles with one final chance.
spk_0 Four seconds to go.
spk_0 Hertz throws toward the end zone into a sea of defenders.
spk_0 The ball hits the ground in complete.
spk_0 The Broncos come back to win it.
spk_0 And here's Saquon Barkley after the first loss of the year
spk_0 for the Eagles.
spk_0 I don't really know what people want.
spk_0 If I touch the ball too much sometimes,
spk_0 even though we're not throwing enough,
spk_0 we throw too much.
spk_0 I only have nine touches.
spk_0 I'm not in the business of, you know,
spk_0 what are we doing enough?
spk_0 I'm in a business of wonderful ball games.
spk_0 And we didn't.
spk_0 Wonderful ball game.
spk_0 With nine touches, we had our opportunity
spk_0 to win a football game still.
spk_0 And we didn't.
spk_0 So we weren't detailed enough.
spk_0 There was too many mistakes.
spk_0 Too many penalties.
spk_0 The Eagles might still be four in one,
spk_0 but they've been outgain in terms of total yards
spk_0 in all five games this season.
spk_0 They're just the second defending Super Bowl champion
spk_0 to start a season that way joining the 1987 Giants
spk_0 who started O and five and missed the postseason.
spk_0 Didn't help the quarterback Phil Sims missed three of those games
spk_0 for us, you remember correctly.
spk_0 Dan, why was that Eagles offense so stagnant yesterday?
spk_0 Second, that's a word to describe it.
spk_0 It's the most predictable offense in the NFL right now.
spk_0 One of them, I mean, if the Eagles are in the shot,
spk_0 going on first and second down, they're throwing the ball.
spk_0 They will never play under center anymore.
spk_0 And if they do, it's a guaranteed run.
spk_0 It feels like.
spk_0 And then what happens is early downs are killing this offense.
spk_0 They're not good on early downs right now,
spk_0 which is something they dominated in last year.
spk_0 So on early downs, they're behind the chains.
spk_0 And then they get into obvious second and or third downs,
spk_0 passing situations.
spk_0 And they're not built to handle all those different disguises
spk_0 and pressures.
spk_0 And they're still predictable with their routes.
spk_0 I mean, these are the third downs in the second half yesterday.
spk_0 A.D. Brown runs a slant in.
spk_0 They get to third and 15.
spk_0 And then Benito runs a stunt.
spk_0 They get to third and 13.
spk_0 And here's an all out blow off pressure
spk_0 that is simulated with seven guys in coverage.
spk_0 That's not how this offense is built to play.
spk_0 It's still wildly too predictable.
spk_0 And if they get into obvious passing situations
spk_0 and you play zone behind it, advantage defense.
spk_0 Yeah, a number of conversations going on
spk_0 about how the offensive line is not the same.
spk_0 But there are circumstances where they're not giving them a chance.
spk_0 And these condensed formations and these splits that they're creating
spk_0 where people are now starting to crowd the line of scrimmage
spk_0 from say, Corn Barkley, this is one example of it right here.
spk_0 We in the shotgun and we get to the point where you can count the box.
spk_0 Look at this condensed formation.
spk_0 Everything is inside almost the inside almost the hashes.
spk_0 By the time you get this motion activity,
spk_0 look how many defenders are around Denver.
spk_0 They trigger this.
spk_0 The safety goes up into the line of scrimmage.
spk_0 They try to bring a backside while receiver
spk_0 on like a trap action.
spk_0 And say, Corn now is already in the line of scrimmage.
spk_0 You see them insert again.
spk_0 It is just so crowded around there.
spk_0 You look at the pass that he was able to hit for a touchdown.
spk_0 They went out, found him, spaced, found him,
spk_0 and one on one to get going.
spk_0 To me, this is about the offensive coordinator.
spk_0 And listen, y'all, we've had this conversation about feeling before.
spk_0 And they were able to get it fixed and manage
spk_0 how they play football going forward.
spk_0 100% agree with you, Dan.
spk_0 But if I'm looking at a nine man box in shotgun,
spk_0 with Jalen Hurtson just saying,
spk_0 you're working back there on the early down,
spk_0 what are we doing running just a regular life off offense?
spk_0 It's also not a play action off offense.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 And the condensed formations to go off of that,
spk_0 the tight ends aren't good enough at blocking.
spk_0 You're going to pull that off the way some other teams
spk_0 that have more condensed looks are.
spk_0 I feel like the story of the game for me was just that Denver,
spk_0 and it's crazy to say this about an Eagles team,
spk_0 was better in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
spk_0 Oh, sure.
spk_0 It was predictable going into it for sure,
spk_0 but it was so obvious.
spk_0 And you been talking about the offense.
spk_0 I'm going to focus on the Eagles defense,
spk_0 not the Denver defense.
spk_0 That four man rush just isn't getting it done right now.
spk_0 The lost players in free agency from the Super Bowl team,
spk_0 but it was predicated, or like the hope for them being still good again,
spk_0 was predicated on the idea of Jalen Carter taking over football games.
spk_0 He's not taking over football games right now.
spk_0 I think he's hurt, playing hurt.
spk_0 But he's getting double a lot,
spk_0 but even when he is getting doubled,
spk_0 no one's taking advantage of the one-on-one.
spk_0 So at the moment, this past rush to me is just not sufficient
spk_0 to play the style of football they want to play structurally.
spk_0 Fancy a dialed up some good blitzes in this game
spk_0 that felt like the only way they could get pressure.
spk_0 Let's give some love, though, to this Bronco's defense.
spk_0 How are you able to just contain Philly so well?
spk_0 I mean, Dan started off, right?
spk_0 They don't handle pressure well,
spk_0 and it was simulated pressure.
spk_0 It was five-man fire zones.
spk_0 They also brought Tallah Noah who hung up to the line of the screen-mage,
spk_0 and you were able to bluff,
spk_0 but also drop defenders opposite him to put pressure on the quarterback.
spk_0 That's a huge sack by Macmillan late in this game.
spk_0 Also, Ufungo was able to put pressure on Jellin Hurts
spk_0 and get the football out of his hand.
spk_0 I thought that Vance chose a new that they would play well on early downs,
spk_0 and then it was about making Jellin Hurts make decisions on third down.
spk_0 And you know this, if you're in off coverage with the pressure,
spk_0 you're going to get a hitch.
spk_0 You're going to get a stop.
spk_0 You're going to get a slant.
spk_0 If you give them an opportunity to throw the fade because you're impressed,
spk_0 that's exactly what you're going to get.
spk_0 So you will basically eliminate more than half of the routery
spk_0 just by presenting pressure to the Philadelphia Eagles.
spk_0 So not only are they stagnant with the initial play call,
spk_0 they also don't adjust with any creativity.
spk_0 Look at that.
spk_0 It was concerning because when we talked about feeling being dominant,
spk_0 it was always them dictating what you did.
spk_0 That's the tone.
spk_0 Like set in the tone.
spk_0 Beyond the physicality formation-wise, using RPO with Jellin,
spk_0 using zone re with Jellin.
spk_0 They have like defenses are just lining up at the line of scrimmage
spk_0 and going forward.
spk_0 Well, I think that part of it too,
spk_0 both guards are essentially gone from last year with Dickerson and Zindry.
spk_0 So then it's all connected.
spk_0 Bad early downs, you're not an overly exotic protection team on second down.
spk_0 And teams know if they follow the Tampa model of fire zone pressure you,
spk_0 you're not going to have success against that defense.
spk_0 I'm glad you brought up the Dickerson injury because we are going to bring
spk_0 an Adam Shepter right now with the latest on some top stories going on right now.
spk_0 We begin Adam with Landon Dickerson.
spk_0 What can you tell us about the Eagles offensive lineman?
spk_0 Laura, he's been hurt all year long.
spk_0 Played through injury, limped off the field yesterday against the Denver Broncos.
spk_0 The Eagles have to play without him yesterday.
spk_0 And let's keep in mind.
spk_0 The Eagles now have a short week with the game Thursday night against the Giants
spk_0 as he deals with this injured ankle.
spk_0 Hard to imagine that somebody like that is going to be able to play Thursday night.
spk_0 But he's been so tough and such a warrior.
spk_0 Anything is always possible.
spk_0 Meanwhile, Amari and Hampton was in a walking boot after the game yesterday.
spk_0 Got kicked in the foot, ankle, leg area.
spk_0 Obviously did not look good.
spk_0 He left the game, did not come back.
spk_0 Look at you.
spk_0 He could move around a little bit but the fact that he was not back was not encouraging.
spk_0 And the injury news for the New England Patriots a short time ago was bad.
spk_0 There, running back Antonio Gibson did suffer a season ending torn ACL last night against the Buffalo Bills.
spk_0 Test today, confirmed that it was torn.
spk_0 You saw Gibson lead the field last night very emotional.
spk_0 And another big injury today, the Colts kicker, Spencer Schrader, suffered a season ending knee injury against the Raiders torn ligaments in the knee.
spk_0 He had been one of the best kickers in the NFL this season and that's going to be a major loss for the Colts trying to have to replace a kicker that had been that good and that reliable.
spk_0 You just hate to see these injuries this season.
spk_0 There seems like there's been more than I remember in recent years.
spk_0 But maybe I say that every year.
spk_0 Thanks to Adam, you're with us throughout the two hours.
spk_0 We'll check back in with you for more updates and some on tonight.
spk_0 Let's go back to Sunday night football.
spk_0 Man, this wind is not my friend.
spk_0 Okay, Bills, close into Patriots.
spk_0 It's Defond Diggs.
spk_0 Return of the Buffalo for the first time since being traded.
spk_0 Three minutes of playing the third Josh Allen looking for Khalil Shakir.
spk_0 And this one picked off by Marcus Jones.
spk_0 Dan, I'll give you some credit.
spk_0 You said this would be a bad matchup for the Bills.
spk_0 Yeah, that was a great coverage though.
spk_0 They kind of played triangle through over two Josh's late in the red zone outstanding.
spk_0 And then Steph, story the night.
spk_0 He was a on a mission type of player ball in his hands.
spk_0 Two plays later that set the pads up inside the 10 Ramandre Stephenson in the
spk_0 In zone untouched.
spk_0 New England struggles with 20 in 10.
spk_0 Okay, ensuing possession under eight minutes to play.
spk_0 First goal for Buffalo.
spk_0 Allen finds Keon Coleman for the touchdowns and the Bills do cut the lead to three.
spk_0 Now after a Patriots punt under three minutes to play Bills,
spk_0 third and 10 at the 28 Allen looking to make something happen.
spk_0 It's incomplete Buffalo would end up kicking a field goal.
spk_0 And that would tie it at 20 as you see Allen.
spk_0 And the creativity there next.
spk_0 Pads possession just over two minutes to go first in 10 at their own 29.
spk_0 Amazing trouble, but how does he do this Dan?
spk_0 Six foot five 2040 pounds strong as an ox and ultra competitive kid.
spk_0 I mean that goes from second and 18 second and 19 to first down and one play away from
spk_0 Being in field arrange one of his special plays later in the drive.
spk_0 20 seconds left.
spk_0 Andy Borragales for the 52 yard attempt.
spk_0 The kick is good.
spk_0 That would seal the game.
spk_0 Here's the Pats locker room after a big win.
spk_0 And we took the next step.
spk_0 Okay, but I'm not surprised.
spk_0 I want you to understand it.
spk_0 I'm not surprised at all.
spk_0 Okay, game ball digs.
spk_0 Here you go.
spk_0 Oh, I didn't know we were going to make one, but we know.
spk_0 Oh, you love to see it for a rabble and co.
spk_0 What?
spk_0 What's Tennessee thinking?
spk_0 Good point.
spk_0 Well, you let him go.
spk_0 I mean, it's in case.
spk_0 A rabble.
spk_0 Why would you not want stuff on digs in your locker room?
spk_0 That's a good point too.
spk_0 You should put the bettel thinking what was Tennessee thinking.
spk_0 That's all I was thinking about last night.
spk_0 A lot of people were right thinking that maybe Tennessee was thinking that I don't know.
spk_0 How are the Patriots able to get it done offensively?
spk_0 Well, I think the first thing is when you have a competitor that feeds off of pettiness,
spk_0 you need to feed it.
spk_0 You would not know anything.
spk_0 I don't know.
spk_0 I don't think about that.
spk_0 When you say it, have somebody that moves a grudge and that plays with emotion and that understands that I want to go out and show this team and show these people that you do need me.
spk_0 That I can help a team win.
spk_0 The first snap of the game is the past the Stefan digs.
spk_0 And you can tell when he got the football in his hands, it wasn't about falling down.
spk_0 It was about making plays.
spk_0 It was about exacting revenge on the team that he feels gave up on him.
spk_0 And the entire night you watched him and Drake made continued to develop cohesion.
spk_0 But we're seeing that relationship grow.
spk_0 Last week, he said, I'm about a five out of ten on the playbook.
spk_0 And I've heard that Josh McDaniel's system is extremely wordy.
spk_0 It's hard and difficult to understand.
spk_0 But you are seeing Drake May and Stefan digs begin to understand one another.
spk_0 And to me, that goes beyond the playbook.
spk_0 And we saw that last night.
spk_0 Those broken plays connection between quarterback and receiver had to feel very similar to the fans of Buffalo.
spk_0 Because the stuff that Josh Allen and Steph used to do was so much like what Drake May and Steph did last night.
spk_0 And I'm shocked that they're on the same page this much.
spk_0 So Drake throwing on the run. Watch as he breaks the pocket.
spk_0 He's going to point downfield and see the reaction at the bottom of the screen by Steph.
spk_0 He points, Steph sees it within a fraction of a second.
spk_0 Spins away, huge completion.
spk_0 That's being on the same page.
spk_0 And that broken play element.
spk_0 Third and seven.
spk_0 Steph's at the bottom of the screen.
spk_0 A little pressure from Drake May.
spk_0 We've seen this before in this stadium with the quarterback that looks like this.
spk_0 Get outside the pocket.
spk_0 Steph's back is to the quarterback right now.
spk_0 He cuts it loose, throws it low away.
spk_0 This is a throw away.
spk_0 Essentially, Steph makes the play.
spk_0 That's a massive third and seven conversion backed up.
spk_0 And then the big boy play.
spk_0 This is grown men's stuff.
spk_0 But just the awareness by Drake May and also like the trust.
spk_0 This is a bad decision.
spk_0 Unless you're a freak.
spk_0 And the awareness of my guys out there.
spk_0 He'll make it right no matter.
spk_0 And that last week we talked about Drake and Steph seeing the defense the same way man's
spk_0 own.
spk_0 We hadn't seen this type of connection from last night until that game.
spk_0 That's like the broken place.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Well the entire night I was thinking of that spider man meme because no.
spk_0 I'm not saying that Drake May is Josh Allen yet.
spk_0 Stylish.
spk_0 He did Josh Allen things.
spk_0 Yeah, but he is Josh Allen Esk and we saw some of that last night.
spk_0
spk_0 Well New England's defense made Josh Allen not look so Josh Allen has.
spk_0 That's great.
spk_0 What did they do so well to limit the reigning MVP?
spk_0 It all starts with defending the run.
spk_0 This spills offense as a dominant rushing attack and the Patriots held them to their worst rushing performance.
spk_0 So the sea wasn't even that bad.
spk_0 But it was their worst of the season.
spk_0 They came into this game by the way and on the season now their fourth in yards per carry allowed.
spk_0 Going back and watching how they approached the run.
spk_0 I thought the nose tackle.
spk_0 Tongue was unbelievable.
spk_0
spk_0 Robert's playing.
spk_0 Those are both free age unackers.
spk_0 The lanes.
spk_0 By the way was incredible.
spk_0 However, the other thing I want to highlight and this is coming off the run defense.
spk_0 A lot of times they would show too and they were able to add a safety to the box because they had so much face in their cover corners.
spk_0 And that was really big difference in this game.
spk_0 You highlighted some of those extended plays with Drake May's, Deftick's finding a way to get open down to him.
spk_0 How many times did it feel like Josh Allen was padding, padding, buying time, so nobody was open.
spk_0 Christian Gonzalez was unbelievable in this game.
spk_0 He is unbelievable.
spk_0 And that's what the Patriots have.
spk_0 They have a dominant corner duo and a very good defensive line.
spk_0 I agree.
spk_0 I was thinking about you last night.
spk_0 They plastered so well on extended plays too.
spk_0 But the three turnovers.
spk_0 Look, Buffalo is fine.
spk_0 I thought New England played a phenomenal game.
spk_0 It was physical.
spk_0 New England is going to be a challenge for Buffalo when they play again.
spk_0 But the three turnovers in the red zone is the story of the night.
spk_0 Very uncharacteristic of them this year.
spk_0 But also when you think about how this team operates, especially when they get into these particular situations.
spk_0 These are always most of the time, at least field goals.
spk_0 We're talking about an opportunity for Buffalo on some critical downs to either extend drives or you get this interception from Josh Allen in the red zone.
spk_0 So again, you walk away from this game if you Buffalo saying we miss multiple opportunities in order to win this game or have an opportunity to win this game.
spk_0 And you just go back to the drawing board.
spk_0 But I don't think Buffalo needs to go and reinvent themselves at all.
spk_0 New England play well, give them credit.
spk_0 Real quick on the run defense.
spk_0 This is one of the most explosive run games in Buffalo.
spk_0 New England didn't give up any for the running backs.
spk_0 That was impressive.
spk_0 That was impressive.
spk_0 Tackling was huge.
spk_0 So much credit and crackling.
spk_0 Leverage, all they made.
spk_0 They were ready for that.
spk_0 They were thinking about their coach from a culture of stopping to run for.
spk_0 Good point. And maybe he's a little bit petty too.
spk_0 He's probably right there with.
spk_0 I don't know nothing about that.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 I love that you're so self aware.
spk_0 We're just getting started on NFL Live.

spk_0 ESPN and the Positive Coaching Alliance teamed up with Houston's Texans last month
spk_0 to host coaches at a workshop at NRG Stadium.
spk_0 Sixty coaches from Fort Bend Youth Football Program participated in workshops
spk_0 to help them create a positive sports culture and help their athletes succeed on and off the field.
spk_0 Alright, some more Coach Love. It's time to shine a light on the high school coach of the week.
spk_0 Kyle Dauderdy from Ulye High School in Florida.
spk_0 That's by the way where Derek Henry went to high school.
spk_0 His team is currently undefeated and chasing his third playoff trip
spk_0 in his five seasons coaching the Hornets at Ulye.
spk_0 Alright, we're just hours away from Monday night football where Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
spk_0 will be taken on the Jacksonville Jaguars and Trevor Lawrence,
spk_0 eight Eastern on ABC ESPN, ESPN de Fortes, Peyton and Eli.
spk_0 Once again on ESPN 2, they have a special guest.
spk_0 Glenn Powell and of course Lisa Salters is on the call.
spk_0 Lisa will be with the Chiefs.
spk_0 Now, Lisa, the Chiefs are once masters of the one-score games.
spk_0 11 and 0 in those games this season though, KC losing two one-score games to start the season.
spk_0 What's changed though the last two weeks to get them back on track at two and two?
spk_0 Well, Laura, everyone thought this guy was falling when the Chiefs started this season
spk_0 and knowing for the first time with Patrick Mahomes as they started in quarterback.
spk_0 Everyone that is except the Chiefs themselves.
spk_0 Mahomes said he remembers telling his wife Brittany,
spk_0 hey, we lost games, we think we should have won.
spk_0 So why change anything? All we can do is just continue to work
spk_0 and the results will handle themselves.
spk_0 And the last two weeks have been much more of what Kansas City is used to,
spk_0 including last week's beatdown of the Ravens.
spk_0 Getting healthy, of course helps get a team back on track, right?
spk_0 Xavier Worthy dislocated his right shoulder in week one
spk_0 and in his return last week he put up regular season career highs
spk_0 in both receiving and rushing yards.
spk_0 And Hollywood Brown leads the team in receptions and yards
spk_0 and says he hasn't even been close to 100% until now.
spk_0 Brown has been dealing with the Nikili's issues since preseason
spk_0 and said last week against Baltimore was really the first game
spk_0 where he was able to move around like he wanted to.
spk_0 But Laura, good health as we all know is fragile in the NFL.
spk_0 And Xavier Worthy had some ankle swelling yesterday during travel
spk_0 and was downgraded to questionable for tonight.
spk_0 So we'll have to keep an eye on his status as we get closer to kickoff
spk_0 and we'll also keep an eye on the Doppler with a chance for thunderstorms
spk_0 during the game and thunderstorms.
spk_0 Not popular with players, not popular with sideline reporters like us.
spk_0 I mean, in this win, what is up with that?
spk_0 I don't know if we can get it yet.
spk_0 So this is what we're dealing with.
spk_0 What win?
spk_0 I mean, it's, look at Laura, look at me.
spk_0 Like this is ridiculous.
spk_0 I'm going to start playing these games exclusively in domes.
spk_0 I like that. Lisa, we will see you in about four hours and 35 minutes.
spk_0 But of course, stay tuned. Lisa will be all over the Xavier Worthy.
spk_0 Injury updates and his status for this game.
spk_0 Peter Schrager is here.
spk_0 Yeah, I'm jealous.
spk_0 Oh, Jimmy Johnson here's just.
spk_0 Oh, look at the product.
spk_0 You're a Schrager.
spk_0 Got that product.
spk_0 Peter's got some.
spk_0 Pomade.
spk_0 Pomade.
spk_0 I got chopping off.
spk_0 All right, guys, enough about our hair and the wind.
spk_0 Nobody cares.
spk_0 Let's talk about a wild finish that happened in Arizona.
spk_0 This game.
spk_0 Oh my gosh, man.
spk_0 We're crazy.
spk_0 We're going to see it right now.
spk_0 All right, Kim Ward though.
spk_0 He's been in.
spk_0 Kim Ward is on that football.
spk_0 Pick it up in the fourth quarter.
spk_0 Cardinals leading 21 to 6.
spk_0 And Mari D. Mercado looks like he's about to score.
spk_0 And you haven't seen it yet.
spk_0 He doesn't score because he lets the ball go when he's crossing over the goal line.
spk_0 He is so upset after this, as you might imagine, and just unfortunate to see this happen.
spk_0 Well, I mean, coming off of the AD Mitchell play from 2 Weeks Gone,
spk_0 just shocked that anybody still does this, let alone did it again.
spk_0 Here's Kim Ward looking to pass.
spk_0 Pass is tipped.
spk_0 Intercepted by the Cardinals.
spk_0 This is late in the fourth quarter.
spk_0 The Cardinals fumble it into the ends of the ball and then for the touchdown.
spk_0 Looks like it's going to be a Cardinals big moment.
spk_0 And then once again, the Titans are able to come up big.
spk_0 This is like what my grandmother used to say.
spk_0 What God has for you and for you.
spk_0 No man.
spk_0 No weapon formed against you, Shell Prosper.
spk_0 All right, I like that.
spk_0 Next Titans drive up.
spk_0 This throw.
spk_0 We're throwing a downfield.
spk_0 I mean, that is the way I just felt.
spk_0 He's got the Calvary of it in the game.
spk_0 Three seconds left.
spk_0 Joey's slide nails it.
spk_0 And the Titans win.
spk_0 Here's Kim Ward after the game.
spk_0 I feel good.
spk_0 A win, especially for my first one in the game.
spk_0 I know it's a big time.
spk_0 But I think the biggest thing is we got to continue to build off of it.
spk_0 We got to continue to attack the week the right way.
spk_0 I'm trying to get a win next week.
spk_0 All of it can be, you know, a springboard for a lot of wins.
spk_0 Just got a teag.
spk_0 We got one step better today.
spk_0 And just really just keep the right mindset.
spk_0 Each and every week try to win next week.
spk_0 Marcus, what did you make of the Cam Ward come back?
spk_0 Cam was phenomenal, but the Cardinals will get out.
spk_0 I thought you can't talk about this game without talking about how this self-inflicted
spk_0 wounds created this opportunity for Tennessee.
spk_0 It takes nothing away from Cam.
spk_0 You have to make plays in this game and all the moves team down the field.
spk_0 But we saw it.
spk_0 And this is the one that has driven the conversation for Monday after the Sunday game.
spk_0 So I think Arizona right now is probably really more than Tennessee is going back to the drawboy.
spk_0 I said, how can we get better?
spk_0 Because we can't let this happen being down 21 to 3.
spk_0 Good point.
spk_0 All right, the Colts picked up their biggest wins in 2013.
spk_0 34.
spk_0 And the last four points.
spk_0 Over the Raiders.
spk_0 They were led by Jonathan Taylor's three rushing touchdowns.
spk_0 His fourth career three touchdown game.
spk_0 That's seven touchdowns for Taylor this season.
spk_0 The most for a Colt through five games since Marvin Harrison in 1999.
spk_0 The Colt's offense has been efficient all season.
spk_0 Scoring on 65% of their offense at possessions this year.
spk_0 That's the highest rate by any team through five games over the last 45 seasons.
spk_0 45 seasons.
spk_0 Passing the greatest show on turf rams from 2000.
spk_0 Peter, was Sunday a matter of the Colts dominating where the Raiders make it a little easy for you?
spk_0 Well, Tom Brady and Mark Davis aren't the only owners of the Raiders.
spk_0 Jonathan Taylor is two.
spk_0 He just absolutely dominates against them anytime he plays them.
spk_0 But Daniel Jones played great.
spk_0 Tyler Warren is my pick for first team all pro at tight end.
spk_0 And he's a rookie.
spk_0 But gosh, what happened to the Raiders?
spk_0 They won week one.
spk_0 They beat a good Patriots team that we've seen now.
spk_0 They have lost four straight games.
spk_0 Gina Smith, who was supposed to be a great game manager and take care of the ball,
spk_0 has more interceptions than any other quarterback in the NFL.
spk_0 The Raiders seem to be going downward while the Colts are ascending.
spk_0 Let's go to London where Dylan Gabriel made his debut for the Browns against the Vikings.
spk_0 Had some people asking early on, should he have started week one?
spk_0 He had two touchdowns, 190 passing yards, despite the Browns losing 21 to 17.
spk_0 Gabriel did talk about it after the game though.
spk_0 Here he is.
spk_0 Yeah, I think there's always something to build on.
spk_0 No more victories whatsoever.
spk_0 But I think regardless of result, week to week, there's a process.
spk_0 And more time you spend around anyone, you're going to get more continuity.
spk_0 And that's, you know, QB receiver, that's QB running back.
spk_0 That's us as a whole unit coming together really and getting comfortable with our unit.
spk_0 Dan, what did you make of Gabriel's debut?
spk_0 I thought it was really good, really impressive against a very good defense.
spk_0 I would say connected the dots of the defense incredibly well.
spk_0 You know, when defenses do one thing, where does the ball go?
spk_0 And that's the decision making.
spk_0 The connections that he had with both of his tight ends in Jokou and Fanon was really good.
spk_0 He was aggressive with the football as well.
spk_0 I was one of the things surprising.
spk_0 It wasn't this check-down Charlie just dink and dunk offense.
spk_0 He was aggressive with it and confident.
spk_0 So while in a loss, I was very impressed with his first start.
spk_0 I think there's something to build off of In Cleveland by him.
spk_0 I mean, Gauley, their defense is so good.
spk_0 If they could get anything going offensively, they could be in a much better position.
spk_0 We got more coming away here on NFL Live as we are with you till 5 p.m. leading up to Money Night Football later on tonight.
spk_0 Still to come, Baker Mayfield, the Bucks won another thriller yesterday.
spk_0 And someone here thinks Mixed Tape Baked is the MVP front runner.
spk_0 Find out more about that next.
spk_0 And now a word of thanks to Blue Compass RV for their collaboration at Money Night Football City's last season.
spk_0 Including right here in Jacksonville this week, as we get you ready for Chiefs and Jaguars just a couple hours away.
spk_0 It is nice in there.
spk_0 I was in there today.
spk_0 We do a lot of trouble in there.
spk_0 We need a feed up in there.
spk_0 I need a buy one.
spk_0 Wow, you got to like that, Dan?
spk_0 Not.
spk_0 She not.
spk_0 What?
spk_0 In a FL Prime Time, a boomer and booger, Sunday is at 7.30 Eastern only on ESPN Plus highlights and breakdowns of every game.
spk_0 It's also available Monday through Wednesday.
spk_0 So you can watch it anytime you want to get ESPN Plus download ESPN app or go to ESPN Plus dot com.
spk_0 Boom, got the first spin.
spk_0 Yeah, I know.
spk_0 Look at that.
spk_0 More of the action from Sunday week five, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.
spk_0 Taking on the Jets, second quarter is where we're going to pick it up.
spk_0 The game is tied at three Prescott.
spk_0 Throw us a screen to Jake Ferguson who runs it in for the touch.
spk_0 John Dak's been really good, Marcus.
spk_0 He's been phenomenal.
spk_0 Green defense is putting the ball where it needs to be.
spk_0 And I love ball distribution that he's had using everybody.
spk_0 Third quarter Cowboys up now, 23 to three.
spk_0 And my goodness, Prescott.
spk_0 Deep for George Pickens.
spk_0 Now they brought him for a boogie.
spk_0 That's what he did in Pittsburgh.
spk_0 That's what they want him to do now.
spk_0 Yeah, and he didn't really have anybody there with him.
spk_0 He was just doing it by now.
spk_0 I don't know what the Jets, the Jets must thought they played the night.
spk_0 Cowboys win.
spk_0 37 to 22.
spk_0 All right, I mentioned how good Dak's been in five games this season.
spk_0 He's thrown five touchdowns just one in a session when targeting George Pickens.
spk_0 Averging nine yards per attempt.
spk_0 That's an improvement over Dak's numbers.
spk_0 Throwing a CD land last season when he threw more picks than touchdowns.
spk_0 So something to keep an eye on there.
spk_0 Of course we'll see when CD comes back.
spk_0 Let's see about the Bucks visit in the Seahawks.
spk_0 This is Marcus's guy, Mix Take Baby.
spk_0 Fixed tight.
spk_0 He's right to go.
spk_0 We're going to pick it up in the fourth quarter tie game.
spk_0 Sam Darnold avoid the exact find.
spk_0 That's a play sound for the touchdown.
spk_0 Seahawks take the 35.
spk_0 We're going to the monster too, by the way.
spk_0 Very well.
spk_0 Seahawks have been really good.
spk_0 In suing possession, Bucks driving with under three minutes to play
spk_0 may feel deluding the pressure.
spk_0 And he gets it to K-Dotten for a big play.
spk_0 Tampa's in the red zone.
spk_0 You just cannot count out this Bucks in your team.
spk_0 They'll find a way to come back.
spk_0 Later in the drive, a minute 15 remaining.
spk_0 Mayfield gets it to Sterling Shepherd Mina for the touchdown ties the game.
spk_0 Baker was unstoppable in this game, making plays in the highest lever situations in the sea there.
spk_0 Next Seahawks possession less than a minute to go on their own 32.
spk_0 Darnold looking for Cooper Cup in the fish.
spk_0 This is a great play.
spk_0 Bounce is off of Hall's helmet.
spk_0 Levantet David slides inside Cooper Cup.
spk_0 This sets up the game when it knew a BFB had to be in Hall.
spk_0 Always.
spk_0 What is Helmett in the lead?
spk_0 He's trying to go the way.
spk_0 The Bucks win another riller.
spk_0 That's what they do.
spk_0 Who had a big head?
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 BMB with the big head.
spk_0 Bucks in the air is improved to 4-1 with all four of those wins coming.
spk_0 Curtis, you're going to have to go to the lead.
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0 You have to go ahead scores in the final minute of the fourth quarter.
spk_0 That's crazy.
spk_0 They're the first team since the 1970 NFL AFO merger to start a season in such fashion.
spk_0 All four Bucks wins this season have been by three or fewer points.
spk_0 Yeah, you really can't count them out.
spk_0 But hey, by the way, guys, I moved to the other side of the desk.
spk_0 We thought the win would be better.
spk_0 And it's kind of just as bad.
spk_0 It's so bad.
spk_0 The win is so mean.
spk_0 The market told me it would be a good.
spk_0 He's like, boogey, move over here.
spk_0 It'll be better.
spk_0 But you don't have hair.
spk_0 Levantet on the BMB.
spk_0 The win just finds the sunshine.
spk_0 Laura, that's all that is.
spk_0 That's all that is.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Well, RC, tell me why is this nothing to do.
spk_0 So good.
spk_0 Well, speaking of sunshine, sunshine Anderson had a song.
spk_0 And she said, I heard it all before.
spk_0 That's exactly what we're seeing.
spk_0 Sik a yo lie.
spk_0 That's exactly what we're seeing from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
spk_0 And I think though we make it too simple saying it's all about Baker Mayfield and his ability to make plays.
spk_0 This team isn't wishing and hoping in late game situations.
spk_0 They are executing at a high level.
spk_0 Baker Mayfield makes this play to Sterling Shepherd.
spk_0 And now you see Todd Wolves dial up the blitz at the exact time with Winfield and a pick by Levantet David.
spk_0 And here was the one that put them in position to ice this game with a very makeable kick.
spk_0 And you see there was shot white.
spk_0 Kids down before going out of bounds and stopping the clock.
spk_0 I think that this team has drilled these situations.
spk_0 They are prepared for these situations.
spk_0 And when they get in them, they only heightened their sense of urgency to execute and their attention to detail.
spk_0 It's a well coached team.
spk_0 I thought this was a masterclass in attacking space on offense through scheme.
spk_0 Mayfield was 10 for 11 off of play action for 159 yards, which helped mitigate Seattle's strength.
spk_0 The pass rush, the entire secondary was injured in this one.
spk_0 Through accuracy, Baker was nails attacking the voids in Seattle's zone coverage.
spk_0 And then through great situational awareness on the part of the receivers.
spk_0 This was one of the best games you'll see from a receiver all year long from a mecca boot cover.
spk_0 Of the many things he did well, the thing that jumped out to me was just his ability to find the soft spots and sit down in those zone voids.
spk_0 But play down the sideline was so smooth.
spk_0 Tremendous connection between the quarterback and the receiver.
spk_0 But it was a team effort.
spk_0 And I really think they came into this with the exact correct game plan to attack this defense.
spk_0 I'm glad you hit it again.
spk_0 And we hear the next man up thing all the time.
spk_0 It's real there.
spk_0 You mentioned Rashad White having the wherewithal to knock out a bounce.
spk_0 Rashad White's in because Bucky Irving, who might be their best offensive player, is out.
spk_0 Mike Evans out who steps up.
spk_0 Abouka and of course Sterling Shepherd there.
spk_0 The offensive line has just been a carousel of names.
spk_0 Tristan Worfsmiths game early and now Cody Montcuddow.
spk_0 And of course Luke Gidecki, am I saying that?
spk_0 Gidecki.
spk_0 He's been out as well.
spk_0 And Baker doesn't waver.
spk_0 They don't waver.
spk_0 It's five weeks in.
spk_0 We could do this week to week and change it.
spk_0 He's my MVP five weeks into the season.
spk_0 I think he's leading this team.
spk_0 Four comeback victories.
spk_0 And they're one loss.
spk_0 He almost got them that winning against Philadelphia and Philly.
spk_0 So Tampa so fun to watch.
spk_0 Those uniforms look great yesterday and I believe they're well coached.
spk_0 It was an all pro uniform.
spk_0 How good did that look?
spk_0 Yeah, with the Seahawks too.
spk_0 What they call that cream set.
spk_0 Yeah, that's cream.
spk_0 That's tough.
spk_0 Give Josh Grasart a lot of.
spk_0 Talk about it.
spk_0 He has been phenomenal.
spk_0 There was a sequence of plays especially when they got into the red zone where I think he's putting like Baker on a move too.
spk_0 We got to start showing that but here you run the screen right.
spk_0 You get on you get them going.
spk_0 Get them all out of his hand.
spk_0 Get blockers in front of him.
spk_0 Mitigate that rush that Seattle is shown.
spk_0 Now you get Baker on the move.
spk_0 Drop it off quick.
spk_0 Let your playmakers make plays.
spk_0 Meaning that that's why I love that you talked about space.
spk_0 Here you see another screen behind a line of scrimmage.
spk_0 Get up into these guys.
spk_0 Get them going north and south.
spk_0 And then you hit Miss direction.
spk_0 I thought this was a phenomenal sequence of play calling to keep a defense off balance and move not only Baker off the spot.
spk_0 But have them thinking about where this football was going in order to make tackles.
spk_0 He was phenomenal.
spk_0 The screen gave it still so good.
spk_0 It's so good.
spk_0 And this guy left.
spk_0 We had a goal and I was wondering if it would be as good.
spk_0 It was remarkably good.
spk_0 No doubt.
spk_0 And if you're Brian Hartline, you don't recruit anymore.
spk_0 Oh my goodness.
spk_0 All you do is say, hey, turn on that Tampa Bay.
spk_0 Take it.
spk_0 See Seattle State.
spk_0 Watch JSN and Mecca Buka.
spk_0 And you'll see what I do.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Those guys, plus everybody else.
spk_0 Garrett Wilson, Chris O'Lomay, the list goes on and on.
spk_0 It's been really phenomenal to see.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Let's bring Adam Schaefter back in here for some more top stories.
spk_0 What's going on around the NFL?
spk_0 And we begin with what's going on in Baltimore, Adam, after a tough loss to the Texans.
spk_0 Lauren, moments ago, John Harboss said he did expect to get some reinforcements back this
spk_0 week for the game against the Los Angeles Rams before the Ravens go on their buy.
spk_0 Of course, the big question will be whether they get Lamar back.
spk_0 But he's been dealing with that strain hamstring.
spk_0 Didn't practice it all last week.
spk_0 Sounds like it might be ambitious for him to be back Sunday.
spk_0 But they will get some of their defensive reinforcements back, which they're hoping
spk_0 help some.
spk_0 Not sure what will help the Jets right now.
spk_0 0-5.
spk_0 The only winless team in the National Football League.
spk_0 They've set a record for the only NFL team to play five games and not get a single turnover.
spk_0 And now the Jets are headed to London to play the Denver Broncos on Sunday morning once again.
spk_0 Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals have a quarterback decision to make Zach Taylor said he's evaluating
spk_0 the options at the quarterback position.
spk_0 They have like Jake Browning, but they have not won since he started this season.
spk_0 And essentially, they're trying to decide whether or not there's a better option out there.
spk_0 Sounds like something they are talking about right now.
spk_0 Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions lost another quarterback today.
spk_0 Terry and Arnold suffered a potential season ending shoulder injury.
spk_0 Keep in mind, they're already missing their other starting cornerback.
spk_0 DJ Reed, who's out and definitely due to a hamstring injury.
spk_0 So two of their top players on defense, they're starting cornerbacks.
spk_0 Now both out indefinitely.
spk_0 The Lions play the chiefs on Sunday night football this upcoming week.
spk_0 And they're going to have to get used to having not having their two cornerbacks here for a long period of time.
spk_0 Not when you want that to happen when you're going against a chiefs team that's getting healthier,
spk_0 especially at the wide receiver position in some areas.
spk_0 We've got more coming away from very windy Jacksonville.
spk_0 We'll be back in just a few moments to spite another tough loss.
spk_0 Someone here thinks the Ravens aren't totally out of playoff contention yet.
spk_0 Stick around to hear what they think.
spk_0 It'll take to get Baltimore back on track.
spk_0 You're watching NFL Live, presented by Applebee's.
spk_0 We're getting closer to Monday night football kicking off between the chiefs and the jaguars.
spk_0 We'll be back in a moment.
spk_0 Grilla and Bar.
spk_0 Eight years ago, I blew my football career.
spk_0 He dropped it at the one yard line.
spk_0 Chad Powers has arrived on Hulu.
spk_0 If I can't play his rust, I'll play as someone else.
spk_0 My name's Chad.
spk_0 And last name.
spk_0 The death from executive producers E. Ryan Peyton Manning.
spk_0 Remember, he wearing a prosthetic mask?
spk_0 This is acting.
spk_0 And starring Glenn Powell.
spk_0 Hey, thanks. You were a reference utility.
spk_0 Not a rubber.
spk_0 A man made a flash.
spk_0 The Hulu original series, Chad Powers, is now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus for bundle subscribers,
spk_0 terms apply, new episodes Tuesdays.
spk_0 We're back on NFL Live.
spk_0 Okay, so last week, remember this, the Jags beating San Francisco.
spk_0 And there was a little confrontation after this game between Robert Salah, the defensive coordinator for the 49ers,
spk_0 and head coach Liam Cohen of the Jags.
spk_0 Here's more from Liam Cohen.
spk_0 Oh, it's not a big deal.
spk_0 You know, just keep that between us.
spk_0 One more of that one.
spk_0 No, we're going to keep that between us.
spk_0 So you can...
spk_0 No, there's going to keep that between us right now.
spk_0 That's it.
spk_0 Whatever happened on Sunday doesn't change how I feel.
spk_0 You know, like...
spk_0 I, in my heart, generally was trying to give a compliment.
spk_0 And I own the fact that I probably used those wrong choice of words.
spk_0 All right, before we dive into exactly what may or may not have happened here, Dan, what specifically is sign stealing in the NFL?
spk_0 Legal.
spk_0 Yes, yes, yes.
spk_0 So I want to be like conscious of the words that I'm using.
spk_0 So one of the ways that I have been a part of stuff like this in the past was specifically if you're playing as the road team.
spk_0 The opposing teams at home, they're on defense, loud crowd, right?
spk_0 And so we would at times go no huddle.
spk_0 One of the reasons we would do that was we would get up to line of scrimmage, crowds going crazy, going no huddle.
spk_0 We would get lined up into a formation.
spk_0 And then we would try to see if we can get signals from the nonverbal element by the defense or a defensive signal caller of like,
spk_0 oh, we're in two by two.
spk_0 And I see the secondary like going like this to their quads.
spk_0 That means well, it's probably going to be cover four.
spk_0 And so then can we do we have enough time on the play clock to then get us into a cover four beat or when it comes to a really good past concept that could be the perfect play to attack that coverage.
spk_0 And so I think that's a lot of the stuff at least that I've been a part of.
spk_0 It's not this unbelievable cheating stuff for your studying tape on film.
spk_0 It's more of like no huddle.
spk_0 What do we see that we know is there go to okay, can we take advantage of it?
spk_0 I think a lot of people were surprised that Liam Cohen was so upset with Robert Salas so much so that I started texting NFL sources and saying,
spk_0 did he overdo it there because he didn't see it in the clip.
spk_0 He goes after Salas has keep my name out of your mouth.
spk_0 And Salas very, very apologetically was like, I was meaning to compliment you.
spk_0 I wasn't trying to insult you.
spk_0 I didn't realize just how much of a trigger the term sign stealing is amongst the coaching community.
spk_0 For Liam Cohen, there's another part to this.
spk_0 You're the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
spk_0 The Jacksonville Jaguars that are considered the 30 second market in the NFL.
spk_0 The Jacksonville Jaguars that have been the joke and the laughing stock of the NFL nearly the last decade.
spk_0 The Jacksonville Jaguars that have been through all these head coaches and all these players and it seems like just a stop along the way.
spk_0 At three and one coming off, they're probably most significant winning years.
spk_0
spk_0 Liam Cohen wanted to show his young team.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 We don't take that from anybody.
spk_0 I don't care how big Robert Salas is.
spk_0 I think it was too pronged.
spk_0 A, I do think he was insulted.
spk_0 His dad's a coach.
spk_0 He's a coach. That's a word you never want to hear.
spk_0 That's not a difficult thing.
spk_0 Ethical thing.
spk_0 And the second part, there was a little WWE to eat in this.
spk_0 Hey. Yeah.
spk_0 I'm going to show my guys, my players.
spk_0 We don't take that from anybody.
spk_0 Even the Big Bad 49ers in Robert Salas.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 It's interesting in talking to the Jags this week.
spk_0 Liam Cohen said, look, I have a lot of respect for the 49ers and for teams like this that are in the upper echelon of the NFL.
spk_0 He's like, that's who we're trying to be.
spk_0 And he didn't want that to get misconstrued.
spk_0 Right?
spk_0 He didn't want all of this to maybe be communicated the wrong way.
spk_0 But the one thing that he did say as he was going through all that, he finishes it up by being like,
spk_0 and we're not the same old Jack anymore.
spk_0
spk_0 And I was like, that's it.
spk_0 Right?
spk_0 Like he wants to show.
spk_0 It's got to be in all the time thing.
spk_0 They're all buying into the tone that he's setting.
spk_0 It's been incredible to see.
spk_0 This is a great opportunity for them tonight in prime time against a team like the chiefs,
spk_0 who everybody knows.
spk_0 No matter who's on their roster, they can be really tough.
spk_0 He's 39 years old.
spk_0 His offensive coordinator, Dinsky, is 29 years old.
spk_0 The defensive coordinator is 40.
spk_0 The GM, James Gladstone is 34.
spk_0 There are a bunch of kids.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 And they're three in one.
spk_0 And they're excited.
spk_0 And you know what?
spk_0 You're not going to talk down.
spk_0 And a lot of, and the nation is looking forward to you hosting Monday Night Football tonight.
spk_0 Because of your success.
spk_0 Good point.
spk_0 And a credit to Liam Cohen for all of that.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Let's get back to more of the action from week five on Sunday.
spk_0 The Texans and the Ravens getting ready to go.
spk_0 That's where we're going to pick it up.
spk_0 Of course, Lamar Jackson is out with a hamstring injury.
spk_0 So pick it up in the second quarter.
spk_0 The Texans lead 10 to three and Dan CJ Stroud finds Nico Collins.
spk_0 Well, this is something that we saw a lot of yesterday was the connection between quarterback stroud and the Nico Collins.
spk_0 I really liked what Houston's offense looked like yesterday.
spk_0 Granted, Baltimore's defense is a struggling unit.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Cooper Rush there picked off by Jalen Petri Jackson watching from the sideline.
spk_0 Let me say this.
spk_0 The best unit in the NFL that we don't talk about enough Houston's defense.
spk_0 Good point.
spk_0 Early fourth quarter Texans lead 34 to 10.
spk_0 Stroud connects with Jalen Noel for the Texans.
spk_0 He needs to ball more.
spk_0 Houston, that young man needs to football more.
spk_0 What are you picking at Ray Lewis in their building?
spk_0 It's gutsy.
spk_0 I would do it.
spk_0 Ravens lose this when the Texans win 44 to 10.
spk_0 And Ravens had coach John Harbolt not happy post game.
spk_0 I don't think we played well.
spk_0 I thought we would play better.
spk_0 I thought we would tackle better.
spk_0 I thought we would just play our run defense better than we did.
spk_0 It was not up to standard.
spk_0 We had good enough players out there to play a lot better than we did.
spk_0 Just a complete disappointment.
spk_0 And we're going to have to find a way to turn it around and figure out who we are this next week.
spk_0 And then we can end the buy and after the buy.
spk_0 We're going to have more than half the season left and we're going to have to find ourselves.
spk_0 Mina and RC, what does this Ravens defense need to do?
spk_0 Well, I think the first thing is this Ravens defense needs to get some people healthy.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Mina, when you look at this roster or this list of inactive, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
spk_0 I don't know.
spk_0 Some of these players who are out there on the field right now.
spk_0 No, no, I mean it's a nightmare.
spk_0 Yeah, it's a nightmare.
spk_0 But for me, this is the first time I looked at a Baltimore Ravens team and thought they gave up.
spk_0 I will never say that a team quit, right?
spk_0 Because you can't speak to their character, but this team was not playing to win.
spk_0 The one thing you expect from a John Harbour team is don't defense.
spk_0 You're going to run.
spk_0 You're going to hit and you're going to be physical.
spk_0 We didn't see any of that yesterday.
spk_0 Not only did CJ Stroud had all day or have all day in the pocket to deliver the ball to distribute the football.
spk_0 We also watched Woody Marx and we saw Nick Chubb continue to turn out yards in the run.
spk_0 And there was no one on that defense that would step up and be in the force or no one on that defense that would step up and say enough is enough.
spk_0 I understand without Lamar Jackson, the offense is going to struggle.
spk_0 But as a complete team, I didn't feel like this team was prepared to play executed in that way or efforted in the way that you need to.
spk_0 I think what's challenging is one of those questions where how much do you put this on the players who are absent?
spk_0 And I mean, if you look at the list of players, it's not just starters.
spk_0 It's the most expensive players on the entire football team.
spk_0 And then how much do you put on coaching?
spk_0 Because even before some of these players got hurt, defense, just speaking of the defense, you saw busted coverages all over the place.
spk_0 They weren't getting pressure.
spk_0 And while some of these players are returning, their best pass rusher, Mattabike, is not coming back.
spk_0 I do wonder if they might consider a mid season coaching change.
spk_0 And again, like, you can't blame Zach Orfer everything.
spk_0 However, to your point, the effort, some of the defensive miscommunications, the lapses in communication and issues covering, that's been going on all year.
spk_0 And the other big piece is we've seen this team in the last couple of years struggle early.
spk_0 Yeah, and figured things out defensively.
spk_0 But when your best players aren't playing well, and in this case, when your best players aren't available, it's difficult to make things change and make that adjustment.
spk_0 But if you're Zach Orfer, you have to figure it out because I believe the same thing as you mean a change could be coming at the defense coordinator position.
spk_0 Great stuff from you guys.
spk_0 More coming throughout the next couple of hours actually.
spk_0 If you're going up one hour left, I wanted to give us another hour.
spk_0 That'd be fun.
spk_0 Alright, coming up.
spk_0 We need another hour, Dan.
spk_0 The Eagles fell apart, lost their first game of the season.
spk_0 Here would RC things have to change immediately if Philly wants to make another deep run that's next.
spk_0 NFL Live is brought to you by Madelo, the mark of a fighter.
spk_0 Look at the Jaguar out there. Ready to fight.
spk_0 Oh, who, did you do that, Dan?
spk_0 Ah, good ground.
spk_0 It is 17-14 cleave with throws to the right side.
spk_0 Touchdown!
spk_0 Big to ETA.
spk_0 Throws touchdown.
spk_0 What's one for the insom?
spk_0 It is batted out the back of the insom.
spk_0 Throws left side.
spk_0 Pick the, thump, was the ball into the insom.
spk_0 And it's a touchdown for the titles.
spk_0 Throws them all in the middle.
spk_0 Touchdown, Sterling Shampero.
spk_0 39-9, field goal to win it.
spk_0 Got it!
spk_0 Champ-o-Bay will win it.
spk_0 David Montgomery takes the direct snap.
spk_0 He's going to throw it to the insom.
spk_0 Throwing towards Dave's hand.
spk_0 He's got it.
spk_0 We're going to win it in Buffalo.
spk_0 That's been week five so far.
spk_0 And week five comes to a close tonight.
spk_0 So glad you're with us on NFL Live.
spk_0 Hey, if you missed the first hour, remember we are a two hour show on Mondays.
spk_0 But it's okay because you're going to get to see the second hour right now.
spk_0 Marcus Fier is dinner.
spk_0 Lossy Ryan Clark.
spk_0 He's filled him with papers.
spk_0 And that's because it's really windy.
spk_0 A potential fan of rain here in Jacksonville.
spk_0 Meena Kimes, Peter Schreger.
spk_0 So happy to be with you guys.
spk_0 Help me with my collar, bro.
spk_0 What's going on?
spk_0 Good.
spk_0 Tapping me on my shoulder and helping me look better.
spk_0 I think you just need to put your hand down there.
spk_0 You got to undershirt on.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 It's humid, bro.
spk_0 You just feel like you absolutely.
spk_0 You just go chest a shirt.
spk_0 And I love you to get on my shirt.
spk_0 Yeah, man, I'm not sure.
spk_0 You two are actually like brothers.
spk_0 I know it, man.
spk_0 I love him to death.
spk_0 I know I get on your nerves.
spk_0 Because.
spk_0 What you just said, Dan.
spk_0 Go ahead, go ahead, boogie.
spk_0 It's also that he goes chest a shirt.
spk_0 Just why they don't put us in my nature.
spk_0 I was going to let you all to just do.
spk_0 No, no, no, no, no, no, do a hug.
spk_0 Come on.
spk_0 I love you.
spk_0 You're strong, man.
spk_0 Dan, you look really small there.
spk_0 Dan.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 How about Bronco's eagle?
spk_0 You guys.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Now he's sweating.
spk_0 Bronco's eagle.
spk_0 Let's do it.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 Early fourth quarter.
spk_0 That's where we're going to pick it up.
spk_0 Sometimes I just have to yell to like make it happen.
spk_0 Well, you're the boss.
spk_0 I am.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Bronco's first and goal.
spk_0 JK Dobbins takes it in for the touchdown.
spk_0 Meena, we were talking about how much fun this player is.
spk_0 He's been great lately.
spk_0 He was phenomenal in this game.
spk_0 You're going to talk about it.
spk_0 Later in the fourth Bronco is the first and 10 for the Eagles 11.
spk_0 Bonit, the Evan Ingram for the touchdown and Sean Payton decides to go for two here, Dan.
spk_0 They knew immediately.
spk_0 Once they scored, they were going for this.
spk_0 The preparation by the coaching staff and the team.
spk_0 They get Franklin on a little bit of in and out on Ringo Easy Throw.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 So, Jalen Hertz trying to make something happen.
spk_0 Surely the Eagles aren't going to suffer their first loss this season.
spk_0 Then, well, then that amazing play happens.
spk_0 It looks like it's going to count.
spk_0 And it doesn't because a flag is thrown.
spk_0 Sequan Barkley called for an illegal ship.
spk_0 So, it erases that.
spk_0 Just over two minutes left in the game.
spk_0 The Broncos lead 18 to 17.
spk_0 Third and two of the Eagles 20.
spk_0 RJ Harvey tackled short of the line to game.
spk_0 But, back to the line.
spk_0 Where's Colin Beacon?
spk_0 Yeah, what's Colin Beacon?
spk_0 Where's Colin Beacon?
spk_0 Right there, he's just finishing the play.
spk_0 That's not a malicious hit.
spk_0 You can't call that.
spk_0 That play impacts the game too greatly.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 21, 17, nine seconds to go.
spk_0 The Eagles first attempt from the Broncos 29.
spk_0 Hertz throwing down field.
spk_0 Cannot connect with Dallas, Goddard, Nick Seriani is looking for a flag.
spk_0 Look like Goddard might have been grabbed there.
spk_0 Next play, Eagles won final chance.
spk_0 Four seconds to go.
spk_0 Hertz throws it up.
spk_0 I actually thought maybe one of those receivers has got to catch it.
spk_0 You saw AJ Brown was right there in Devante Smith.
spk_0 Here's Sean Payton after a big win for the Broncos.
spk_0 Now, don't get me wrong.
spk_0 There's downside.
spk_0 But there's a ton of upside relative to defining like what you become.
spk_0 And this is one of them.
spk_0 And I think they were confident coming in.
spk_0 I asked them afterwards who you're afraid of.
spk_0 You know, and this is a league that's as a fine line between a groove and a rut.
spk_0 And it was a good win.
spk_0 We had the Broncos on Monday night last week.
spk_0 He said a lot of that, the fine line between the groove and the rut.
spk_0 And it looks like they're in a groove.
spk_0 All right, Bonix struggled throwing down field early Sunday,
spk_0 going one for 10 on throws, 10 plus yards down field in the first three quarters.
spk_0 But in the fourth quarter, he was four for four on those throws.
spk_0 Overall, regardless of distance, Nick's went nine for 10 in the fourth quarter for 100.
spk_0 That's a seven yards.
spk_0 That's a Cortland Sutton graphic right there.
spk_0 I like that you said that.
spk_0 Meena, what was working for the Broncos offense yesterday?
spk_0 Yes, to point.
spk_0 Cortland Sutton was my answer.
spk_0 No, there's a couple other things that they did well in the second half.
spk_0 Two of which were very predictable.
spk_0 If you told me the Broncos won this game, ran the ball well.
spk_0 I thought they got to a lot of their gap runs.
spk_0 The pin pull power stuff.
spk_0 I love it when they put that tight end in the backfield atkins.
spk_0 So that's some really good runs in the second half.
spk_0 They found ways to attack Ringo and John Payton to his credit.
spk_0 Did a fantastic job of getting that match up.
spk_0 But then the third thing, and this might have been the most surprising thing,
spk_0 given the competition.
spk_0 Cortland Sutton just reminded everyone he's still at Duke.
spk_0 Like we talk about AJ Brown, similar players in some ways.
spk_0 But it was Cortland Sutton in this game who was going up and winning those one on ones.
spk_0 The back shoulder fades, making tackles to make huge plays using his size
spk_0 to his advantage.
spk_0 Those strong hands, the contested catchability.
spk_0 He was phenomenal in the fourth quarter.
spk_0 And Bonaix knew that and he threw him the ball, which was very, very smart.
spk_0 I thought the game management by Sean Payton was excellent.
spk_0 I thought the in-game adjustments by Sean Payton was excellent.
spk_0 Because through what, 35 minutes, they had three points.
spk_0 And I think what you started to see was some of the stuff you talked about the run game.
spk_0 But also they ran their four by one offense.
spk_0 Like six or seven times in the last 20 minutes of this football game.
spk_0 And I always say like, it's not just four by one.
spk_0 It's the stuff that they do out of it.
spk_0 Sometimes it's kicking the ball to the perimeter to JK Dobbins.
spk_0 This is like a spinner action that creates an easy play.
spk_0 It should pass to Evan Ingram.
spk_0 And the way that they found matchups for guys, this time Sutton at the number four position,
spk_0 not even the number three, open for their offense.
spk_0 I just thought Sean Payton's awareness of, okay, what we're doing isn't working.
spk_0 What are the things that we can do to actually get us some offense?
spk_0 Really, we could blow the game down to this.
spk_0 They went to four by one, seven times, six of them were on first and ten.
spk_0 They got efficient plays which allowed third and manageable.
spk_0 Philadelphia did nothing on early downs in the second half.
spk_0 It led to third and long.
spk_0 No efficiency versus efficiency.
spk_0 They came to win that game too.
spk_0 They went for two. They converted to two point conversion.
spk_0 A lot of people at home were saying, why are they going for two?
spk_0 Sean Payton went in there to win the game.
spk_0 And it meant more to him.
spk_0 He grew up in Philly, grew up in the area.
spk_0 He coached in Philly early on.
spk_0 He was a coach on those Ray Rhodes teams in the late 90s.
spk_0 And I'll tell you this, they win that game Monday night football.
spk_0 And they don't practice Tuesday.
spk_0 They don't practice Wednesday.
spk_0 It was very unorthodox week.
spk_0 They practice Thursday, Friday, Saturday, just three days of practice.
spk_0 They were blasting Meek Mill in that Philly locker room after the game.
spk_0 He wanted to make a statement and say, we're going to play your music in your building.
spk_0 And then on the way home, police escort usually just takes them right in the highway.
spk_0 He's talking to the driver of the bus and he's telling them, hey, why don't we actually go down Broad Street
spk_0 and let them see the team bus coming from the city again.
spk_0 They ended up just going to the original route.
spk_0 This one meant more.
spk_0 I think this was a career defining and regime defining moment for Sean Payton as, hey, I'm no longer just a sane sky.
spk_0 I am a Broncos head coach and we're doing it.
spk_0 Arcy, another pedestrian output for this Eagles offense.
spk_0 What is the issue there?
spk_0 Yeah, you're right with pedestrian.
spk_0 And it's the pedestrian walk, right?
spk_0 It's like the New York people too.
spk_0 When you get there and they got that big old orange sign with the hand that's telling you stop and they still go.
spk_0 Like that's how the Eagles are playing offense right now.
spk_0 There is no creativity.
spk_0 And I think we sort of got into the mode of we've watched this team fix these issues before.
spk_0 And I'm starting to get back to the place of we saw them two years ago not fix it.
spk_0 There is no creativity on early downs.
spk_0 This is a very much we have better plays, players than you sort of schematic offense.
spk_0 And they have to figure out a way to get Sequan Barkley involved.
spk_0 Listen, I know he only had nine touches and I'm not saying it has to be Christian McCaffrey or Bazaan Robinson because we understand AJ Brown, Devonte, Goddard.
spk_0 All of those other guys can also produce.
spk_0 But Sequan Barkley has to be involved in different ways than we're seeing it.
spk_0 Yeah, look, I tell you this though, this Denver Broncos defense, you become predictable in passing.
spk_0 They're going to kill you.
spk_0 And that's really what it boils down to in this game in particular when they knew it was a passing down in the passing situation.
spk_0 They were able to get out there not only winning one on one's using each other for games, but they have so much rust lane integrity as well.
spk_0 They're smart.
spk_0 They know who's on the back end as far as Patrick Sartain.
spk_0 So they kind of pressure from that area to allow him to be one on one.
spk_0 But you look at all of these pockets condensing.
spk_0 You look at the defensive tackles pushing people into the lap of Jaylen Hurts.
spk_0 There was a concerted effort from Vance Joseph not to let Jaylen Hurts away.
spk_0 This way, tell me about this though, we're talking about that.
spk_0 They have people that can rush and they can win with four, but Vance Joseph still works creativity.
spk_0 Oh, yeah, because he got that guy back there.
spk_0 Yeah, like that, that is, RC, you know, you know this is what it's anybody.
spk_0 You play with some great corners, the freedom that they give you.
spk_0 And in particular, when you look on that side, the pressures come from Patrick Sartain's side.
spk_0 And that is the beautiful thing about what they do defensively.
spk_0 Not only the four-man rush, but when you do bring pressure as far as the Denver Broncos go,
spk_0 they are speeding up timing because it's in the center of the line of scrimmage as well.
spk_0 Majority at the time, or they bringing those safety or defensive backs off the C gap as well.
spk_0 To my point, this is such a talented defense, but they don't just lean on their talent.
spk_0 They're not just like, oh, we're going to play Russia's Four, we're going to play Mancubber.
spk_0 It's a problem.
spk_0
spk_0 It's the front.
spk_0 Here's early downblitz's, Vansercius was, Vansercius was incredible.
spk_0 It's amazing to think too that last week he had Jamar Chase and he limited him.
spk_0 Then this week he said, I'm not worried about it.
spk_0 It's Laura. I'm not going to give him that.
spk_0 Okay, but also hey, too.
spk_0 The day is going to be a good point.
spk_0 Whatever.
spk_0 Marjory Chase is still good.
spk_0 All right, let's bring Adam Schaffer back in here with a little bit more.
spk_0 Adam, what is going on with Landon Dickerson when the Eagles?
spk_0 Laura, we saw Limp off the field yesterday.
spk_0 He's been playing for all season long.
spk_0 We go back to training camp and him being carded off from a night practice at the link.
spk_0 And now they play a short week against the New York Giants.
spk_0 Hard to imagine that he'd be able to make it back on a short week.
spk_0 But when Dickerson has done things throughout his career that have defied logic.
spk_0 So we'll see if he can make it back.
spk_0 But that seems like a stretch.
spk_0 Meanwhile, take a look at all the double digit deficits that were erased yesterday.
spk_0 Starting with the Titans overcoming an 18 point deficit.
spk_0 The Panthers overcoming a 17 point deficit.
spk_0 The Broncos who you talked about overcoming a 14 point deficit.
spk_0 The States 11, commanders 10.
spk_0 It was a wild weekend.
spk_0 It really messed with survivor pools across the country.
spk_0 And we rarely see so many quarter comebacks like that.
spk_0 The Green Bay Packers got back Christian Watson to practice today.
spk_0 Opening up the 21 day practice period.
spk_0 274 days after a tour is ACL.
spk_0 So help is on the way for the Green Bay wide receiver position.
spk_0 He should be activated here in a few weeks.
spk_0 And that has been the plan all along with him signing a contract extension.
spk_0 This season, Green Bay knows he'll get Watson back.
spk_0 That'll be one more weapon for the Green Bay offense.
spk_0 Yeah, nice boost for them.
spk_0 Certainly thanks to Adam Moore to come from you throughout this hour.
spk_0 As we get closer to the kickoff of Monday night football here in Jacksonville
spk_0 between the Jags and the Chiefs.
spk_0 Coming up, it's time to bust that leap up.
spk_0 We're going to break down the biggest hits and performances from Sunday.
spk_0 You don't want to miss it.
spk_0 I can't wait to find out who's busted up with you guys.
spk_0 You're watching NFL Live, presented by Applebees.
spk_0 The sun's coming out here in Jacksonville.
spk_0 Okay, we'll take it.
spk_0 Never know though, Florida weather.
spk_0 Tomorrow.
spk_0 It's not bad.
spk_0 I've got it everything.
spk_0 We're back on NFL Live.
spk_0 All right, we're going to do busted up.
spk_0 It seems like we don't have our...
spk_0 So remember, it's just when Marcus was busted it up.
spk_0 And that's why he was...
spk_0 He was in...
spk_0 What happened?
spk_0 Where's my music?
spk_0 Well, anyway.
spk_0 It doesn't matter.
spk_0 We're still going to be able to do it.
spk_0 So Marcus, who busted it up on Sunday?
spk_0 Not a hurt, Dan.
spk_0 According to my dog, Grandison.
spk_0 They disrespected the embassies with this call.
spk_0 Oh my god.
spk_0 This is the worst.
spk_0 But this is absolutely awful.
spk_0 It's trash.
spk_0 This is supposed to be a bust that is your...
spk_0 And that's what exactly what it is.
spk_0 But the flag came in damn nip before the hit happened.
spk_0 You anticipated the damn flag rough?
spk_0 Listen, man.
spk_0 I got a lot of things to gripe about sometimes about the NFL.
spk_0 But this right here should have been overturned.
spk_0 This should be reviewable.
spk_0 Rico Donald.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Rico Donald with...
spk_0 HELL!
spk_0 Over 200 yards.
spk_0 Got to the ends on twice.
spk_0 And he was a huge part of why the Carolina Panthers able to come back.
spk_0 Gets the Miami Dolphids yesterday.
spk_0 Listen, there's not a lot to cheer about there.
spk_0 Some of these games start and I'm like,
spk_0 Who the hell is playing and what high school we stole them from.
spk_0 But yesterday, number five played ball physically.
spk_0 He made huge plays and he's a big reason why they got the dough.
spk_0 I was hoping you're going to say his name like Stephen A. does.
spk_0 REEGO!
spk_0 Wow.
spk_0 You missed an opportunity.
spk_0 Eric Collins, the guy in the call.
spk_0 REEGO!
spk_0 Donald!
spk_0 He was going to be a...
spk_0 He was amazing.
spk_0 I'm going with this guy Wild Bill.
spk_0 That's DeCory Croskey Merit.
spk_0 114 yards.
spk_0 Two touchdowns.
spk_0 They're calling them Wild Bill in Washington and they rode that run game.
spk_0 And when Jaden Daniels had to make the big play, he did big victory in L.A.
spk_0 Homecoming for Jaden Wild Bill with the man throwing the rock.
spk_0 How about the Cowboys wide receiver not George Pickens?
spk_0 Ryan Flornoy.
spk_0 This guy has come out and absolutely tore it up when CDLAM is gone down.
spk_0 Dick Press got looks to him for some big playmaking ability down the field.
spk_0 The beautiful Crosser knows that like, hey, Dax got a free play.
spk_0 Play down field.
spk_0 Go make a play on the football.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 The Cowboys have found another one with this young man.
spk_0 He's going to have a bright future in Dallas.
spk_0 I want to give some love to this young Saint Secondary.
spk_0 Right.
spk_0 And not just Cooley McKinsey, but I'm going to start with him because he had the two athletic
spk_0 interceptions.
spk_0 Three times his defense.
spk_0 He was very sticky and covers.
spk_0 Jonas Sanker has quite been very good for them all year at safety.
spk_0 He had the fumble return.
spk_0 He was excellent against the run.
spk_0 And then Jordan Houten had to come in because Justin Reed got hurt.
spk_0 And all he did was have an 86 yard touchdown fumble return.
spk_0 I thought this young secondary played really well and credit to the Saints team.
spk_0 But bloody that's their first win.
spk_0 Okay, I'm putting in an honorary bust it up.
spk_0 What?
spk_0 And it's this.
spk_0 Yes.
spk_0 Because Marcus, I think you busted Dick and I.
spk_0 You were really excited.
spk_0 Like, look how dainty you got and how you.
spk_0 That's a tough picture.
spk_0
spk_0 It received the hook.
spk_0 Everybody at home.
spk_0 Oh.
spk_0 Oh, that's a tough picture.
spk_0 That is really good.
spk_0 Why do you do that, Dan?
spk_0 Like, woo.
spk_0 That is really cute.
spk_0 I don't know, but that's a tough picture, man.
spk_0 Fudge, dude.
spk_0 I can't defend.
spk_0 I've never been little spoon in your life.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 You ever had a side hug from him?
spk_0 You don't.
spk_0 You don't need old time.
spk_0 Wait, should we see the video?
spk_0 It feels like the jaws of life.
spk_0 Oh, we don't have the video.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Well, somebody had the video and we'll take a break.
spk_0 It's because that's a little tiny bio.
spk_0 Yeah, I'm not a very muscular person.
spk_0 He's tall, maybe not.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Let's read and react.
spk_0 I just thought people could do that.
spk_0 That's a tough picture.
spk_0 We're going to talk back about some of the Sunday action.
spk_0 We're going to be in Buffalo.
spk_0 We're the Patriots.
spk_0 You didn't have a net.
spk_0 That's a tough one.
spk_0 Oh, man.
spk_0 Get him with 90 seconds left to play in a tie game.
spk_0 Drake May, connecting with Kenyan, Booty for the 19th-yard game.
spk_0 Yeah, and that is how you say his name.
spk_0 Three plays later.
spk_0 Andy Borgallis kicks the game-winning field goal for the Pats.
spk_0 And Drake May said this after the game.
spk_0 That was fun.
spk_0 That was a tough one.
spk_0 It took everybody in the locker room.
spk_0 And the guys came out and battled.
spk_0 You know, didn't play the best in the first half.
spk_0 It defense helped us out.
spk_0 And we came back offensively and got some things going.
spk_0 And too many drive at the end.
spk_0 Just go down and win it.
spk_0 That's what you want.
spk_0 You know, trust those guys.
spk_0 You know, I grew up.
spk_0 My dad and my brother always said, you know, basketball or baseball.
spk_0 It's the last player, the last shot.
spk_0 And with the ball on my hand.
spk_0 So I'm not going to lose that mindset.
spk_0 And I'm going to keep that mindset in all group.
spk_0 I hate you, bro.
spk_0 Well, that mindset, why makes the throw of his career?
spk_0 I would tell you it's the throw that announces him to the NFL that I am here.
spk_0 It's that cover tool hole shot.
spk_0 He sees that safety get depth, but really not get off the half, half with width.
spk_0 And then that corner, he's got vision on that little slot route.
spk_0 Must outside release by the receiver, which is well done.
spk_0 This is a dicey throw now.
spk_0 Like, I can't tell everybody at home.
spk_0 This is the throw you should make.
spk_0 Unless you are the person who says, my dad told me, no, I was younger.
spk_0 When the game's on the line, you want the ball on your hands.
spk_0 That ball is absolutely perfectly thrown.
spk_0 It's the throw of his career.
spk_0 And I would tell everybody, I think it's the throw that he announces
spk_0 to everyone in the NFL.
spk_0 Hey, dude, I'm here.
spk_0 And I'm going to be here for a long time.
spk_0 The Patriots are back.
spk_0 Ooh, I love it.
spk_0 All right, let's go to the Ravens.
spk_0 Blown out on home.
spk_0 At home, excuse me, Sunday losing 44 to 10.
spk_0 Marjacks and Miss Audi deal with the hamstring injury, Cooper rush, three interceptions.
spk_0 The Ravens dropped to one and four on the season.
spk_0 And yet, they are dealing with a lot of injuries, but John Harbock clearly unhappy after the loss.
spk_0 I don't think we played well.
spk_0 You know, I thought we would play better.
spk_0 You know, I thought we would tackle better.
spk_0 I thought we would just play our run defense better than we did.
spk_0 It was not up to standard.
spk_0 I mean, we had good enough players out there to play a lot better than we did.
spk_0 Just a complete disappointment.
spk_0 And we're going to have to find a way to turn it around, figure out who we are this next week,
spk_0 and then into the buy and after the buy.
spk_0 We're going to have more than half the season left, and we're going to have to find ourselves.
spk_0 Peter, is the season over for the Ravens just five weeks in?
spk_0 I look at this list, all right.
spk_0 Any other team, maybe I would say it's done.
spk_0 They got one win and they got the Rams this weekend, maybe without Lamar.
spk_0 But you look at the back half of their schedule.
spk_0 Browns, Bengals twice, Steelers twice, Winnable Game against the Jets, Winnable Games there.
spk_0 Listen, I know this is the low point of John Harbock's coaching career in Baltimore.
spk_0 This feels like the Nate Deer.
spk_0 They might lose another one next week home against the Rams.
spk_0 But I don't think it's over if you get Lamar back and healthy, and you have a second half of the season.
spk_0 Nobody has been able to run away with this AFC North.
spk_0 And I don't think the Steelers are going to do this in a complete run away.
spk_0 I still think there's hope for Baltimore, even if it looks as bad as it does on Sunday the last few weeks.
spk_0 Yeah, the Ravens have a 40% chance to make the playoffs according to ESPN analytics.
spk_0 So there's still a little bit of a chance.
spk_0 If the Ravens go one to find make the playoffs, give Lamar another MVP.
spk_0 Yeah, I agree.
spk_0 All right, coming up next.
spk_0 We're going to talk a little bit more about Drake May.
spk_0 You heard Dan phrase in him.
spk_0 He let the Patriots to a victory in Buffalo last night.
spk_0 Stick around to hear why Nina thinks May out Josh Allen, Josh Allen in the win.
spk_0 That's coming to Ray on NFL Live right up to this.
spk_0 And we are planted high.
spk_0 Hey.
spk_0 Hey.
spk_0
spk_0 There's a great, it's a good way for young quarterbacks and receivers to get on the same day.
spk_0 There is no 10 round.
spk_0 Don't screw this up.
spk_0 Wow.
spk_0 Wow.
spk_0 The Manning Cast, tonight at eight on ESPN 2 and the ESPN app.
spk_0 And a reminder that Glenn Powell would be on the Manning Cast.
spk_0 Of course, Chad Powers is movies coming out really soon on Hulu or series.
spk_0 Excuse me, I should say.
spk_0 All right, Adam, chapter back with us for some nights on Monday.
spk_0 Some updates on Monday night.
spk_0 The music in here has got me all distracted at him.
spk_0 Go ahead.
spk_0 What should we know about him?
spk_0 They were worthy.
spk_0 Jacksonville yesterday, when he got off the plane, his ankle had swelled up.
spk_0 And the chiefs added him to the injury report for tonight's game against the Jaguars
spk_0 added precaution because they didn't want to be any issues with the league.
spk_0 And he is expected to be out there tonight playing, which is good news for Kansas City.
spk_0 He's at shoulder injuries.
spk_0 He's at ankle injuries.
spk_0 But he is expected to be a go for tonight against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a game in which
spk_0 the Jaguars are expected to get back the Army Brown.
spk_0 He's been off the injury report.
spk_0 He's been dealing with a shoulder injury.
spk_0 He's somebody that they like to get the football to.
spk_0 Somebody with some big play ability.
spk_0 And just gives them one more weapon to mix in with Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter and some of the other weapons that they have tonight in the game,
spk_0 which we hope that it stays dry for you, Laura.
spk_0 There's no lightning.
spk_0 There's no wind.
spk_0 There's no rain.
spk_0 I know that was in the forecast.
spk_0 But hopefully it avoids the Jaguars for tonight and everybody stays nice and dry.
spk_0 Fingers and toes crossed.
spk_0 You can't see my toes, but they are crossed.
spk_0 Thanks to Adam, much more from him tonight, of course, on Monday night countdown.
spk_0 You can see him coming your way at 6.
spk_0 It's his wind.
spk_0 It's making me wild.
spk_0 Okay.
spk_0 I know.
spk_0 Yeah, they're right, Mina.
spk_0 That's the incredible metaphor.
spk_0 Hey for that.
spk_0 All right.
spk_0 Oh, it's hosting the Patriots.
spk_0 That's on dig.
spk_0 We're turning to Buffalo for the first time since being traded.
spk_0 Guys, three minutes to play in the third build down, 13 to 10 in the red zone.
spk_0 Josh Allen looking for Khalil Shakira and Marcus Jones.
spk_0 Marcus.
spk_0 Oh, fierce.
spk_0 He's taking care of it.
spk_0 This was one of those old remnants of Josh just trying to force it, believing into that arm.
spk_0 He a little had that one back.
spk_0 Here's the early fourth quarter.
spk_0 Same score.
spk_0 Drake may find digs who turns into a huge gain.
spk_0 And Mina, he had something to play for that night.
spk_0 It's such a complete game from him.
spk_0 We've seen the crazy plays on the sideline.
spk_0 That's one getting yards after the catch.
spk_0 Ramandre Stevenson right here, two plays later.
spk_0 He gets into the end zone untouched.
spk_0 New England up 20 to 10.
spk_0 In suing possession under eight minutes to play.
spk_0 And Peter, this was a huge play.
spk_0 Allen finding key on Cole.
spk_0 The sure was, and Keyon Coleman made a few plays.
spk_0 Josh Allen had a lot going right for him.
spk_0 When it wasn't flags on every play, he can definitely make the moves last night.
spk_0 Just looking for it, looking for it, looking for it on this one.
spk_0 Yeah.
spk_0 Bobber Trinket's all is awesome.
spk_0 Yeah, they would kick a field goal to tie it at 20.
spk_0 Next patch possession just over two minutes to go.
spk_0 Wow.
spk_0 Amazing.
spk_0 How did he get the ball to digs for first down?
spk_0 That's incredible.
spk_0 Oh no.
spk_0 Digs had 10 receptions, 146 yards, by the way, in this one.
spk_0 Just unbelievable.
spk_0 Later in the drive, 20 seconds left.
spk_0 Andy, Borigalus.
spk_0 The 52-yard attempt in the kick is good.
spk_0 That would seal the game and the Patriots hand the bills.
spk_0 Their first loss of the season.
spk_0 Peter, what stood out to you watching May and Company do this?
spk_0 Against the bills, a bills team that still has the reigning MVP and certainly solid throughout?
spk_0 I know it's week five, so you don't want to be hyperbolic and race to conclusions or anything.
spk_0 But I do think that winning in their building, the way that the AFC was going,
spk_0 and I look like it was a bills and almost like a one-horse race, was huge for the Patriots.
spk_0 And it was a statement by Drake May.
spk_0 Second half Drake May guys was 13-14.
spk_0 Fourth quarter, he was six of six.
spk_0 And he made every big play they asked for him to.
spk_0 And the last five years, the AFC East has been the bills and then three A teams.
spk_0 The jets have been bad.
spk_0 Patriots have been bad and the dolphins have had some moments.
spk_0 But no one's really challenged Buffalo.
spk_0 To have a young quarterback, finally go into that building and go blow for blow with Josh Allen.
spk_0 Go throw for throw with Josh Allen.
spk_0 And have the defense able to stop Josh Allen when it mattered most.
spk_0 It felt like the Patriots were telling the bills, hey, we're here too.
spk_0 We might not be doing it this year, but we're going to be here for a while.
spk_0 First and foremost, like I think the Patriots put together all star coaches now.
spk_0 That's number one, right?
spk_0 You get my Braille, but you get Josh McDaniels back to being an offensive one.
spk_0 Instead of a head coach, they were phenomenal last night, but the trust and the belief that they have and Drake May
spk_0 to push the football down the field.
spk_0 It's been happening all season.
spk_0 But in these critical situations, I thought some of these shots that he took were phenomenal.
spk_0 This is him.
spk_0 Look at the protection from the whole line first and foremost.
spk_0 Layers this football over the top of the linebackers.
spk_0 This is not a throw that coaches are calling or are made a quarterback is making where he's worried about making a mistake.
spk_0 And then back to this one, Dan talks about the whole shot.
spk_0 As a defensive player, those are the ones where you say, man, we should have had a chance to get our hands on the ball.
spk_0 The great quarterbacks make those throws.
spk_0 So I think it was a coming out part of for Drake May, but it also spoke to Josh McDaniel.
spk_0 And it spoke to Mike Raeble in allowing him in those situations to call those plays and be able to push the ball down the field
spk_0 and make throws that are not easy to make in the NFL in those crunch time situations.
spk_0 I think what struck me the most was just how sustainable it all felt.
spk_0 I mean, we were all calling it a coming out party, but the reality is he's been playing really well since week two.
spk_0 Should have won that game against Steelers, tights and fumbles.
spk_0 So this is not something that just happened out of the blue with Drake May.
spk_0 But the other thing is while we have focused so much on the amazing out of structure plays, you know, pushing out the defender,
spk_0 flipping the ball to digs, a lot of what he did was inside the pocket.
spk_0 I thought he was extremely poised against a blitz.
spk_0 They really turned it up in the second half and he looked like he had all of the answers.
spk_0 And then Marcus, you alluded to this with the whole shot just throwing with touch.
spk_0 Some of the throws to Hunter Henry.
spk_0 They haven't even made the highlights reals, but his ability to again layer the ball over the middle of the field to the, over the second level that defense was extraordinary.
spk_0 His accuracy has been so good this year.
spk_0 And when I think about why this is going to keep happening moving forward, it's that accuracy for me.
spk_0 The Patriots 2 and O on the road this season too.
spk_0 All right, let's do the Bucks visiting the Seahawks.
spk_0 This one, Seatring.
spk_0 Takeer Mayfield, of course, and Sam Darnold on the other side.
spk_0 We're going to pick it up in the fourth quarter, tight game.
spk_0 Three and a half minutes to go.
spk_0 The Seahawks with fourth and two at the Bucks 21.
spk_0 Sam Darnold avoiding the sack finds Tori Horton for the touchdown.
spk_0 What a play, Mina.
spk_0 Yeah, I mean, Tori Horton has been quietly a good story on the Seahawks offense.
spk_0 We talked about it a lot about JSN, but he's a playmaker.
spk_0 Mayfield dueling and he finds K-Dot for a big play.
spk_0 Tampa Bay in the red zone.
spk_0 Mixed Take Bay doing his thing.
spk_0 Okay, later in the drive.
spk_0 A minute 15 remaining.
spk_0 Mayfield.
spk_0 Right here.
spk_0 Look at these other ones, man.
spk_0 We haven't talked about Baker's movement and ability to throw in a movement, but also the confidence.
spk_0 Baker is putting balls in areas where it is dangerous.
spk_0 And it was turned out in a seventh form, not anymore.
spk_0 That time, the game at 35 next Seahawks possession.
spk_0 Here's Darnold looking for Cooper Cup, Levante David took care of that one.
spk_0 It's all a balls being top, both.
spk_0 Yeah, and you're thinking they're going to set up a game-winning field goal and said they totally flipped the field and now Tampa's in control.
spk_0 They've been making a lot of big plays on defense as well as Baker's awesome offense.
spk_0 So, three seconds left.
spk_0 Chase from Gloplin coming out for the 39-yard game winner and it's good.
spk_0 The Bucks win another thriller, 38 to 35.
spk_0 Now, Amecha Bukka played a key role in this game as well, becoming just a sixth player in NFL history to record at least 400 receiving yards and five touchdown catches in the first five games of his career.
spk_0 Four of the previous five went on to make multiple probals in their careers.
spk_0 You see the list right there.
spk_0 He's 163 yards yesterday, third most by a rookie in team history.
spk_0 Darn, why was the Bucks offense so effective yesterday?
spk_0 First down, under center, play action, using motion and snapping the ball while the motion is still happening.
spk_0 I just think Brian McClendon, who's their wide receiver coach, has done a great job of them understanding distribution of routes.
spk_0 So, you're going to see up top is Egg Bukka.
spk_0 Now we're going to get motion from that receiver at the bottom of the screen.
spk_0 Now, look at the distribution between the receivers.
spk_0 That slot motion guy is vertical right now because there's no reroute.
spk_0 Now, you're trying to lift that coverage with the speed but see the space between those two receivers?
spk_0 That's distribution.
spk_0 Now, the defense is in conflict at Bukka.
spk_0 It does a great job of throttling near the sideline.
spk_0 It's all because of that.
spk_0 First down, under center, here comes that motion and we're going to snap the ball while the motion is still going on.
spk_0 Now, we get speed down the field.
spk_0 Okay, now again, the distribution of these routes is such a big deal.
spk_0 Everybody's sprinting vertically receiver at the bottom of the screen goes outside.
spk_0 The defense has no shot here because you have such an expansion of depth that the vacate in middle of the field because that is the right.
spk_0 And the lift by that speed is such a big deal and the utilization by Baker Mayfield.
spk_0 First down, there's this under center.
spk_0 Now, the corner is covering a Bukka up top.
spk_0 That motion and snap, they're changing the coverage on the fly.
spk_0 Now, Bukka has a vertical release that's no restriction.
spk_0 And then Baker Mayfield sees that there's that soft spot and ball comes out on time.
spk_0 I just think that the distribution that is, there's teams that don't have this.
spk_0 The space that they have in their receivers, in their routes.
spk_0 I just think it makes it incredibly hard on defenses to cover both.
spk_0 It also happened on early downs, which allowed that offense to be aggressive.
spk_0 Well, the other big piece of it is too.
spk_0 You're making the defense communicate while moving.
spk_0 Right, there's so much, there's so many times you want to be set.
spk_0 But with the motion or snapping the football while the players are in motion.
spk_0 Now, you saw Josh Joe, he's communicating to the back end as he's moving out.
spk_0 And now you've got to play the switch release.
spk_0 And I think understanding that has been something that they've done a great job of.
spk_0 But even on the test Johnson route, you saw him find his way back to a hole.
spk_0 A mecca Bukka, he found his way to settle down inside the coverage.
spk_0 And when you can do those things and when you can make it difficult because you were adjusting on the fly,
spk_0 it's the exact thing we always credit Travis Kelsey for.
spk_0 But they seem to be doing it as a team.
spk_0 Let me ask you defensively when the routes are so distributed.
spk_0 If you're distributed like that, what's the biggest challenge?
spk_0 The biggest challenge is this though.
spk_0 They're making you play the width and the distance of the field.
spk_0 Right, so now you continue to spread us out.
spk_0 But you're also pushing us deep.
spk_0 And you have layered routes that we can see Baker Mayfield's understanding exactly how to find those spaces in the zone and beat the man to man coverage.
spk_0 You guys, Baker Mayfield.
spk_0 There we go. Baker Mayfield, fourth quarterback in NFL history with an 85% completion percentage.
spk_0 So impressive to see what he did.
spk_0 All right, still to come.
spk_0 Jayden Daniels came back from injury, got Washington back in the wind column.
spk_0 Here are why Dan thinks there's something different about this year's commanders and makes them even scarier offensively.
spk_0 That's next on NFL Live.
spk_0 We'll be right back.

spk_0 Canyon view that win.

spk_0 To see the full rankings visit USA today HSS dot com.
spk_0 More of the action from week five.
spk_0 Jay Daniels returning from injury for the commanders as they take on the chargers.
spk_0 Second quarter is where we pick it up.
spk_0 Chargers lead 10 nothing second and eight for the charges on the commanders 42 and Herbert finds Quentin Johnson over the middle Dan but
spk_0 Quentin Martin knocks out the ball.
spk_0 This is something this off or the defense in Washington desperately needed.
spk_0 They got absolutely torch last week by the Falcons.
spk_0 They're down 10 nothing and they find a way to punch the football.
spk_0 Quentin Johnson's been so good for the chargers huge takeaway by that defense.
spk_0 After the fumble less than five to play in the half commander second and one on the chargers 15 Daniels finds our guy Bill Croskey Marit.
spk_0 Wild Bill makes it into the end for the touchdown.
spk_0 Commanders would add a field goal go on to the half tie to 10 10.
spk_0 First drive in the third quarter first attempt for the commanders on their 45 and there's Croskey Marit again Dan.
spk_0 Really good job by the play fake protection ball comes down to the flat and then another perimeter run where the chargers defensively just lost.
spk_0 Leverage into walk in touchdown.
spk_0 Commanders score 17 unanswered points.
spk_0 First play of the fourth quarter commanders lead 20 to 10 second and two on the LA 36 Croskey Marit takes up the middle but T.R.
spk_0 Tart force is the fumble and recovers it.
spk_0 After the turnover chargers in the red zone third and goal at the four and Herbert attempting a path to Keenan Allen but Mikey Sainer still at the goal line.
spk_0 Commanders would go on to win 27 to 10 and the news got worse today for the chargers new on NFL Live.
spk_0 Chargers head coach Jim Marvall 7.
spk_0 He's going to be placed on IR sideline him.
spk_0 Minimum of four games due to his ankle injury.
spk_0 Najee Harris is already out of force with an Achilles injury.
spk_0 RC just how big of a deal is this you think about Justin Herbert.
spk_0 He looks so good at times this year but these guys got to stay healthy.
spk_0 For the first three weeks I thought Justin Herbert was one of the best players in the entire NFL.
spk_0 He would be my leading MVP candidate through that but you already lose Slater in the off season Joe Alt who was showing it.
spk_0 He was an absolute superstar at the left tackle position and now Murray and Hampton.
spk_0 After Najee Harris went out I thought that was actually a good thing for him.
spk_0 Because you could see him Murray and Hampton starting to ascend averaged over 10 yards of carry against the New York Giants.
spk_0 I believe that he's special. I believe he's the sort of special that can change games and when you are already depleted up front you need a run game.
spk_0 We know that that's something that Jim Marvall wants for his team to get into the play action chunk game and so losing him is huge.
spk_0 How was that commander's offense though able to get back on track with Jayden Daniels under center?
spk_0 I mean the run game put up goddy numbers in this one and you can watch it on tape one thing that struck me.
spk_0 I've just never seen the Chargers Stevens out leveraged the way they were especially on those off-tackle rounds.
spk_0 But just the creativity from Clip Kingsbury who has always been excellent at designing run game but he continues to iterate with this Washington offense in really interesting ways.
spk_0 I know Dan's going to do a tape on this but the six offensive line looks what I loved was how they would put Daniels in the pistol on all those.
spk_0 So they would create some uncertainty on the part of the defense and then when Daniels is in the gun as he normally is and they run mostly with a lot of gap runs, a lot of counter pin pull, the touchdown was pin pull.
spk_0 Everybody is pulling and blocking so well out of those looks and his presence in the gun creates some uncertainty that froze the Chargers second level defenders a little bit.
spk_0 But the execution in the offensive line blocking on those gap runs was really excellent.
spk_0 I think it's the best way to utilize the pistol in the modern era of the NFL.
spk_0 I've always thought that Clip's offenses were a little bit finesse.
spk_0 I think the utilization of that six offensive lineman plus the two tight ends gives a little bit of physical finesse.
spk_0 I mean there's six offensive lineman, two tight ends, there's that pistol.
spk_0 So there's the balance of their offense and now you get those double pullers.
spk_0 This is like what we would call GY counter but that Y is a six offensive lineman.
spk_0 And so once again you see six offensive lineman, two tight ends, there's that pistol.
spk_0 So there's symmetry, down block, down block, down block by three offensive linemen while also double pulling in a tight end being the perimeter blocker.
spk_0 Now we get double wing, six offensive linemen and there's an outside zone or a duo where you get double teams, double team front side.
spk_0 There's an easy cut back. I mean there's a vacant lane on the backside that the tail back finds.
spk_0 I just think the ability for them to still in their no huddle offense and still have finesse in regards to a lot of the motion and movement.
spk_0 But have that physical presence in their run game.
spk_0 I just think it's something that like this is the new layer for this offense this year.
spk_0 You know, I think last year it was the no huddle was new to everybody.
spk_0 I think now it's this is the evolution for Cliff in this offense.
spk_0 I would also give Adam Peters a lot of credit, the general manager.
spk_0 This offseason we knew that Jaden Daniels had this breakout season but they needed to added some things in the offense and who they go and get.
spk_0 They got Debo Samuel who's been incredible for the commanders.
spk_0 Basically a one year deal for $20 million.
spk_0 Go make your money somewhere else if you have to but use this year to really show what you still got.
spk_0 He's been outstanding and Laramie Tunzel has been as good an offensive tackle on the league as anybody this season and absolutely was dominant against a good charge.
spk_0 They usually run to his side.
spk_0 Yeah, absolutely.
spk_0 And I think the other piece about Debo Samuel is you've seen over the last two weeks Cliff Kingsbury sort of evolved his position.
spk_0 They have to be different from the number one wide receiver position when his Debo Samuel.
spk_0 We're talking about the backside of empty for duplets, deep crossers.
spk_0 We've seen him in motion getting the football to him very quickly in the flat.
spk_0 Also he's used largely in the quick screen game.
spk_0 I thought the way that Debo Samuel was moved around and maneuvered as a chess piece for this offense was extremely interesting in this game.
spk_0 And now you add Terry McClaurring today when he can come back and take the top off of a defense and it's really going to help Jaden Daniels.
spk_0 Debo Samuel has four touchdowns and five games this season for reference last season four touchdowns and 15 games.
spk_0 Yeah, he's really enjoying his new spot.
spk_0 All right, Swagoo was coming up next. They struck up the band for you.
spk_0 And watching Cam's got a boo.
spk_0 Disrespect the B&B clan like this.
spk_0 This was awful.
spk_0 And now we have a villain, B&B's got a little dude that's starting to pancake us.
spk_0 And I don't want to see any of this transpire anymore.
spk_0 Granted said I love you.
spk_0 They took a sack away from you in the game.
spk_0 But this pancake blocked from Cam's got a boo.
spk_0 You have made enemies all over the 300 plus crew.
spk_0 And we are not going to tolerate this disrespect.
spk_0 That's why I'm a highlight the big fellas will be back.
spk_0 I kind of feel like Cam's got to be like that.
spk_0 He will mark your stress at Chris Farley.
spk_0 What? He's ready for B&B, Dan.
spk_0 Why are you dressed like a little dude?
spk_0 They don't hit.
spk_0 It didn't hit.
spk_0 We'll see what hits on the other side of the break.
spk_0 We'll be right back.
spk_0 I'm going to get out of the hill.
spk_0 NFL live is presented by Apple Bees.
spk_0 Now that's even good in the neighborhood.
spk_0 And in part by Abbot Elementary Wednesdays, 830 Eastern on ABC and streaming on Hulu.
spk_0 The B&Bs heard the call.
spk_0 Man, I'm big.
spk_0 I'm bad.
spk_0 I'm bad.
spk_0 They know we the best athletes on the football field.
spk_0 We are blessed with the hand of God, B&B.
spk_0 I'm a name in Hemmathy, Johnson and Third.
spk_0 We do this for the money.
spk_0 Won't stop to get me a bag.
spk_0 Dan, you want me to serve you a steak?
spk_0 How do you do it?
spk_0 I don't know.
spk_0 I'm not going to sound with you.
spk_0 Oh, that belly gives us a little extra cushion.
spk_0 Yeah!
spk_0 Ride the pony, baby!
spk_0 Big man versus little bug.
spk_0 Drinks on me, club on me.
spk_0 What a time to be a big boy.
spk_0 Man, I'm big.
spk_0 I'm bad.
spk_0 Well, it's your neighborhood, B&B.
spk_0 It's a national holiday every Monday, as I told y'all, the B&B showed up again.
spk_0 They showed up again and they did what they needed to do.
spk_0 Eighth Hutchinson, welcome back.
spk_0 I know the leg I heard and I know we was all saying, but you backed the dog.
spk_0 You put in pressure on everybody.
spk_0 Put the pressure on everybody.
spk_0 Ain't with two and a half sacks.
spk_0 He had the strip.
spk_0 Jake Brownen.
spk_0 Listen here, man.
spk_0 Listen here, bro.
spk_0 You cannot play with us that long.
spk_0 You cannot line up and shotguns that tell them when the B&B is lined up out there with the
spk_0 number 97 on and expect to do anything successfully.
spk_0 That's what we do.
spk_0 I love these plays this week because it's just us making hidden plays in the game that ends
spk_0 up in wins.
spk_0 Next, Nick Bonito.
spk_0 We talked about this past rush with them for all year long.
spk_0 Rhyme before you say it, shudder.
spk_0 But he's like my size.
spk_0 He is not your size.
spk_0 You are little.
spk_0 He's a big man.
spk_0 He's a B&B man.
spk_0 And he is sack and quarterbacks out of his mind.
spk_0 I'm going to tell you all right now.
spk_0 Nick Bonito may be on his way to an all-pro season if you haven't been paying attention.
spk_0 That's another B&B getting out of jail and hurts.
spk_0 Guess what's happening to fill it?
spk_0 They lost.
spk_0 Nick Bonito sacked him last but not least.
spk_0 I'll remember what the hell y'all doing?
spk_0 Or y'all trying to make my heart content every week.
spk_0 Can I store the business every week?
spk_0 They put my big dog, Caden, proctor in the back field this week and let him go in short
spk_0 yardage.
spk_0 Last week it was a screen where they put little dudes in front of the big dude and told
spk_0 the big dude to go get a first down.
spk_0 Now we getting in the back field.
spk_0 Y'all going to start playing us there running back?
spk_0 Y'all trying to get me a heart attack.
spk_0 But we ain't going to have one because we in shape.
spk_0 We just being.
spk_0 That's being a big deal.
spk_0 I'll take it easy.
spk_0 That's just the whole side.
spk_0 The big fool is taking plays again.
spk_0 It looks like he's hugging the camera.
spk_0 And I just love it.
spk_0 All right, we're getting close to the Monday Night Football here at Everbank Stadium in
spk_0 Jacksonville, the Kansas City Chiefs.
spk_0 On the road taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars at 80's turn on ESPN and ABC.
spk_0 Now Travis Hunter, we will see him on display tonight.
spk_0 He has been a consistent part of the Jaguars often this season playing 58% of his team
spk_0 snaps and at least 35 in every game.
spk_0 But after averaging 40 defensive snaps in weeks two and three, Hunter only played nine defensive
spk_0 snaps last week against 49ers all in the first quarter.
spk_0 Head coach Liam Cohen called it just a personnel decision.
spk_0 And in talking to Liam Cohen about how they will plan to use Travis Hunter tonight, we
spk_0 should see something more similar to what we saw earlier in the season weeks two and
spk_0 three.
spk_0 About 80 snaps total, 40, 40 split is what they like to do both offensively and defensively.
spk_0 And they have sung Travis Hunter's praises talking about how committed he's been to both
spk_0 sides of the ball putting it over time.
spk_0 One of my favorite quotes was talking to Devon Lloyd the linebacker.
spk_0 He said Travis Hunter is so crazy that it's like he stops, he catches the ball, then he
spk_0 lingers in the air for a little bit and then comes back down and you're like, what just
spk_0 happened?
spk_0 I asked Travis Hunter about that.
spk_0 It feels himself lingering in the air.
spk_0 He's like, no, he looked at me like I was crazy.
spk_0 He's like, that's just what I do.
spk_0 What is athletic ability that is God-Diven, it's crazy, it's amazing.
spk_0 But I think what's made the difference here for Jacksonville has been how committed Travis
spk_0 Hunter has been to learning both sides of the ball, putting in a lot of extra time to
spk_0 make sure that works and we'll see it on display here on the field behind us tonight.
spk_0 All right, Peter, what's got you most excited for this team's Jags?
spk_0 I think it's going to be a statement, kind of franchise statement moment for the Jaguars.
spk_0 You know the last time the Jaguars won a Monday Night Football game was 2011.
spk_0 Blaine Garver beat Joe Flacco in a game 12 to 7 on Monday Night Football.
spk_0 The last time the Jags won in this building on Monday Night.
spk_0 Here you are, young team.
spk_0 This is that Maurice Jones drew in Jacksonville.
spk_0 Of course you've got Gabbard.
spk_0 But what are the Jaguars now?
spk_0 They're three in one, they're a nice story.
spk_0 Imagine they beat the Chiefs and now you're four in one and you've got this young coach
spk_0 and this young quarterback and Travis Hunter playing at the Headsman Plan.
spk_0 I look at this if I'm a Jaguars player.
spk_0 National TV, one of the few times we're going to get this opportunity.
spk_0 We've got a shot here to make a statement and for the franchise that has had very little
spk_0 success on prime time in big spots in this building, go and seize the moment.
spk_0 Yeah, along those lines I think there's an opportunity for America to learn how good
spk_0 this run game has been this season with ETN and we've been talking about it all year
spk_0 long.
spk_0 I love their 12 personnel meaning two tight end runs.
spk_0 Brenton Strange has been excellent for them blocking.
spk_0 But it's also a match of advantage in this game.
spk_0 This run game is third league wide in DVA.
spk_0 The Chiefs run defense is a bottom five unit against the run so far this year.
spk_0 It's going to be a good night for Jacksonville if they can control the pace of the game by
spk_0 keeping it on the ground.
spk_0 ETN being of course a big part of that.
spk_0 Peter mentioned this could be a statement type game for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
spk_0 The last time we were here for Monday night football, it was Doug Peterson's second year.
spk_0 They were going to have an opportunity to take over the entire AFC South and they lost
spk_0 to Jake Browning and the Cincinnati Bengals and that was sort of the demise of that group
spk_0 of coaches.
spk_0 That was the demise of that era.
spk_0 Can they make that statement tonight?
spk_0 In order to make that statement, this defense has to continue what they've been doing
spk_0 throughout the first four weeks, which is putting pressure on the quarterback and turning
spk_0 the football over at least three turnovers in each of the first four games.
spk_0 That is a recipe for success with Meena mentioning how well they can run the football.
spk_0 Now you take the football away.
spk_0 You're giving yourselves extra possessions and you're keeping the football away from the
spk_0 other team.
spk_0 Well Kansas City offensively played the way they did that last week's scheme wise.
spk_0 They were one of the offenses that I liked watching as far as like an unexpected.
spk_0 They put Patrick under sender 17 times.
spk_0 They went six offensive linemen as well.
spk_0 So are they going to do two weeks in a row of that?
spk_0 And then I'd also say this, one of the things that Kansas City has struggled with defensively
spk_0 is screen passes.
spk_0 Liam Cohen, one of the best screen pass play callers in the NFL.
spk_0 How many screens are thrown tonight?
spk_0 How many go to Travis ETN?
spk_0 I would expect five, six, seven screens out of this Jaguars offense tonight.
spk_0 Tonight's going to be about the big play though.
spk_0 Two of them were like, which team can create those dynamic plays?
spk_0 We've seen it from the Jacksonville Jaguars with Travis ETN last week.
spk_0 We saw Xavier worthy of the Kansas City Chiefs.
spk_0 He was healthy and he was able to create some of those plays.
spk_0 I would also say watch out for Bershart Smith, right?
spk_0 We're starting to see him be utilized more in this offense.
spk_0 He's an explosive player from the running back position.
spk_0 I was going to ask if Xavier worthy can't go.
spk_0 How much Meena do you think that matters for the Chiefs?
spk_0 It matters, I think Thornton stretches the field for them,
spk_0 but I also think this could be a big Chelsea game.
spk_0 Jack's defense this year is playing way more zone than man.
spk_0 Historically, Kelsey has been Patrick's answer against those books.
spk_0 I'd be shocked if worthy doesn't go.
spk_0 I'd be shocked if I know the question.
spk_0 I know the ankle.
spk_0 This is a must have for Kansas City.
spk_0 He will go knowing him if he can.
spk_0 Big challenge for the Chiefs tackles as well.
spk_0 These defensive ends in Jacksonville are violent with their hands.
spk_0 If they struggle tonight in run or pass,
spk_0 that's huge advantage to Jack's defense.
spk_0 You can also fill it from Coach Caponelli's defense.
spk_0 Like they show a hunting and it's so fun to work.
spk_0 They're not backing down.
spk_0 I can assure you that.
spk_0 All right, let's put our game picks up.
spk_0 Everybody, as you're going to see, is on the Chiefs.
spk_0 Marcus.
spk_0 Marcus picked to help us out here, slagged.
spk_0 We picked Marcus.
spk_0 But when I was going up, my mom would introduce me to the Jackson 5.
spk_0 But I ain't taking Jacksonville.
spk_0 Take the Chiefs Kansas City.
spk_0 I think they're back.
spk_0 I think Kansas City is about to turn into a special year.
spk_0 It never looks good.
spk_0 You can see in the past.
spk_0 They got speed back.
spk_0 They started to get physical at the line of scrimmage.
spk_0 I got a personal album Friday.
spk_0 You know what it is.
spk_0 It's Friday, it's Thursday, yesterday.
spk_0 OK, but I learned a lot of that.
spk_0 I think it was good going away.
spk_0 It's just he was birthday at 8.
spk_0 Tonight, too.
spk_0 My brother Lawrence was birthday tonight.
spk_0 He's 4.26.
spk_0
spk_0 I'll see you on the game.
spk_0 The coverage continues on ESPN and ABC.
spk_0 All night long.
spk_0 Enjoy it.
