and goal Texans? If it stands Noah Brown holding defense number twenty four. Carlton Davis the third picked it up. Texans say pick up that flag. 00:03:12 Speaker 3: We'll take the plane of Noah Brown and was on fire first. 00:03:17 Speaker 1: Yes, he is. 00:03:18 Speaker 4: He is like a guy like a cat that hadn't eaten in a while. 00:03:22 Speaker 2: Noah's been absolutely fantastic from the time he came back, and I know after no one out, I think Noah I think he was injured after that first Ravens game and then he went on ir and the offense started clicking. I know there were a lot of people thinking, well, Okay, Noah's coming back, but you know, really, what's he gonna do? I mean, you got your receivers, you got you got Robert Woods, you got Tanked Dell, you got Nico Collins. Where's no Brown fit in it? Well, no Brown fits in it really nicely. And with Robert Woods out, Noah had to step up. And that's what that's what you need. You need positions with depth, and the receivers have shown that. Uh four guys that have just made place consistently, and Noah Brown has been one of those. So we'll get back to Noah in a little bit. He has a big catch on the final drive right before a spike that put them in position to go win the game. 00:04:09 Speaker 1: He had that catch right there and. 00:04:11 Speaker 2: The result of that was that Texans couldn't go any further, so Daria had to kick the field goal. 00:04:15 Speaker 1: So it was on that drive right there where Noah made that catch. 00:04:18 Speaker 2: So Noah made a lot of big plays and obviously one you're gonna hear a little bit later. Now, let's get to number ten and a guy that I fell in love with during training camp. That was killed Khalil Davis, and I remember he had signed and I saw him walk on the field the first day and I was like, interesting. Now, I will tell you a lot of times, I'm probably more in favor of shorter, quicker, leveraged defensive lineman. I like Grady Jarrett. I always loved Aaron Donald because of that, I love shorter stouter. You know, DJ Reader was not six ' five, you know, he's six two maybe, but so strong, powerful and quick. 00:04:56 Speaker 1: Well that's why I saw Khalil Davis. 00:04:58 Speaker 2: Then I went over and watched pass rush one on ones and pats the very first day. 00:05:01 Speaker 1: And I'm like, holy cow, this guy's got something. 00:05:04 Speaker 2: He has got something, and he has just played at a high level when he has got in the game. And obviously, with Hassan Ridgeway going down, Rankins being out, Qulil Davis, Kurt Heinisch, maliek Collins, those guys had to step up because that was. 00:05:18 Speaker 1: All they had. 00:05:20 Speaker 2: And in the late third quarter, when the momentum is really rolling, on third down, Baker Mayfield went back to pass and on the left side of the defensive formation, the Texans ran a pick stunt like you would run a pick playing basketball, you know, like a pick and roll, Like you have a guy running

towards the defender, he sets the pick, the ball handler goes around and he's got a lot of room. Well, that's exactly what this was. Will Anderson dove hard inside on the guard and when he did, the tackle went with him. Khalil Davis then looped around and he was face to face with Baker Mayfield, who then was unable to throw the ball. Khlil Davis wrapped him up. And I want you to listen to the crowd reaction because we have not heard this crowd reaction in a very long time. And number ten Klil Davis with a sack of Baker Mayfield the third quarter and. 00:06:10 Speaker 1: Everybody's fired up. 00:06:12 Speaker 3: Third down of ten bucceteers from there in nineteen Mayfield struck on three receivers waddeside, right, one back, the air's gonna snap down. Mayfield backs up. Here's pressure, He's gonna go down. Khalil Davis brings down Mayfield at that ten. 00:06:29 Speaker 4: I've loved this kid ever since the preseason and all he does is make plays. 00:06:34 Speaker 2: Okay, So let's get to number nine, and number nine comes with a little bit of a story, and I'm gonna tell you the story in the second play, but it was too big plays by Jalen Peatree. The first one is a tackle for a loss in the fourth quarter that I thought was gonna be the defining play of the game because the Bucks were driving their down threes thirty three thirty. They got a first down and on first down they essentially destroyed a run play. But was Peetrie who ended up with the final tackle on the running back. I think it was Chase Edmonds at the time, and it set up a big loss for the Bucks. I thought, that's it, that's the play. So I put this one at nine to a. 00:07:10 Speaker 3: Petree showing Blitz Mayfield hands off to Edmunds and he's brought down. Now he stays up in the backfield that he slips down and berried by p Tree, crackled up forty three yards. 00:07:20 Speaker 1: Time broke a tackle, did well to do it, but he wound. 00:07:24 Speaker 3: Back into Petrie and friends and it's a big loss. 00:07:28 Speaker 2: So, okay, the story comes with nine b Now this happens in the third quarter and the Bucks trying to remember what the score was at the time, but the Bucks had the lead. They put another touchdown up on the board. No matter how the Texans are moving the ball, it's gonna it's gonna be tough. And so the Texans showed at the Skies in the secondary, and it turned out that they were gonna play cover one and blitz the overhang player. So that put Jalen Petrie in man coverage on Trey Palmer. So Palmer runs the deep over out. Now Palmer runs into fourth three range and Jalen is staying as close to him as humanly possible. And at the last second, as the ball is arriving, Jalen reaches out and full on dives and gets four fingers on the ball and knocks it away. But as he does, he hits the ground. Here's that play at nine to b. Then the story makefield. 00:08:24 Speaker 3: He fakes the give Mayfield, throws down field and knocked away. 00:08:28 Speaker 1: Petrie got in the way of it as the ball was intended to the speedy Trey Palmer. Second and ten. 00:08:34 Speaker 4: What a play, What a play by Petrie, just the last second to get his left hand on the football to not get away. 00:08:43 Speaker 1: So I see that thing the whole way. 00:08:45 Speaker 2: I'm standing maybe maybe ten yards away from the whole thing, and so I'm watching the interaction. I see Jalen make the knock away and I'm like yeah, And then Petrie Dove got up and started running back for the huddle, and as he did, I looked and I was like, I saw something that I use all the time. There was a Bert's Bee's lip bomb on the field. I mean I could see it clear as day, and I'm almost running after it. I'm like, I'm just looking at it seeing did anybody does anybody seeing this? Like there's a Bert's Bee's lipbomb? And I was like that wasn't there before? So I can't figure out. I'm like, well, Palmer didn't hit the ground, so was that Jalen? Did Jalen have Burt's bees? Like he put it? Where the heck was he having? Where was Burt's Be's? 00:09:34 Speaker 3: Like? 00:09:34 Speaker 1: Where was he carrying his Birt's Be's lipbam? 00:09:37 Speaker 2: So on our Monday Coaches show before we started, I was like, you know what, I got to ask coach this because he's played the game and I've played it, and I'm like, I'd never heard of anything. And I was like, Coach, have you ever heard of a player like putting in this case, Bert's Bee's lipbom in like his shorts or your belt, your sock or whatever. 00:09:59 Speaker 1: During a gain. 00:10:00 Speaker 2: And before I could get before Coach would answer, he's kind of looking at me. And before I could get any further, Omar Majubar are pr director, who is just incredible, walks over and goes He starts laughing and he goes, he goes, hey, Jalen was miked up for the game, and apparently he was in the huddle offering Bert's bees to everybody in the huddle, like you gotta stay high traded, and we just broke out laughing, and I was like, Coach, I think he had it in his pants, Like I think he had it in his game pants, and when he landed, they popped out, and Omar was like, yeah, I'm pretty sure he had it. So we got to get the confirmation of Jalen Petrie. But it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen of a player carrying Burt's bees lipball. Now, I think I would have put it in my sock, but I don't know. I mean, maybe it gets down to your foot and you don't want that. I don't know, maybe I just keep it on the sideline, and I just used it on the sideline. So I got to get to the bottom of this with Jalen Peatrie, but I just thought it was funny if he made those two huge plays, and I was like, I gotta tell the story. So there you go, Jaylen Petrie, Carrie birts bees in his football pants. I think we gotta any confirmation, all right, So that's now. Let's get to number ten. And the Texans end up putting up ten points in the first half and they got three from and people are gonna forget this a huge, enormous fifty

yard field goal from Kymie Fairbairn. 00:11:22 Speaker 3: Fifty yard field goal attempt left tash mark north end zone up rights by Fairbaron. Here's Weeks with the snap, here's the hole by Jonathan The kicker is up been good. Fairbaron drills it from fifty to cut it back to a one score game, seventeen to ten. 00:11:38 Speaker 1: Texas needed that one in a big way. 00:11:40 Speaker 2: Now, I'm not totally sure if that's when it happened or if it was on the ensuing kickoff, I don't know, but it was about that point that we saw well, we didn't see Kymie Fairban on the sidelines, and that was when my antenna went up, Like wait a second, I could do math pretty quickly. And usually I see Cam and Kymie kind of working together, and I'm. 00:12:00 Speaker 1: Seeing Camp by himself. And I then walked the sideline. 00:12:02 Speaker 2: I can't see Kaymi anywhere, and I'm like, then I see Camp talking to Darya. I'll give you that story a little bit later because I actually had a report from the sideline, so I'll have that for you a little bit later. But Kimi's field goal comes in right there, a big one at number eight. 00:12:15 Speaker 1: All right, it's get the number seven. One of the more unique plays. 00:12:17 Speaker 2: And again I need some confirmation on this to know whether this was an ad lib or this play was actually in the playbook, because if it's in the playbook, it's staying in the playbook. And if it wasn't in the playbook and it was ad lib, it should go into playbook. I've always wanted to run this play. I thought about it forever, but Devin Singletary and c. J. Stroud pulled it off. It was a zone option back to the quarterback that was just ridiculous. It comes into number seven handoff. 00:12:44 Speaker 1: Singletary hops to his left after starting right. 00:12:47 Speaker 3: The ball goes to ct on side forty thirty five yard line for a first down. 00:12:52 Speaker 5: What sick? 00:12:55 Speaker 1: Sick? Good? A reverse option? Yeah? 00:12:59 Speaker 2: Reverse option? Like, I mean, what what is that? And again, like I said, I've always wanted to try it. I've always thought about that. 00:13:06 Speaker 1: Play, like, I think you could run it and you could really mess with some minds. 00:13:11 Speaker 2: But I don't know that I've ever seen an executed like that. So I tried to get confirmation from Motor when he came out, I was like, did you do that on purpose? 00:13:17 Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard me. 00:13:18 Speaker 2: I think he was just kind of celebrating, yes, sir, So I don't know if I don't know, So I gotta get a confirmation on. 00:13:24 Speaker 1: That with you. But we'll work on that. But what a great play by Motor. 00:13:28 Speaker 2: He's getting he's getting dumped like Zion McCollum with low on him, and so Devin is flipping it. He's running left, so typically option quarterbacks would flip with their left hands so they can kind of brace for the hit. Devin kind of entrusts his left hands, so he flips it

with his right hand and CJ catches it perfectly, I mean his perfectly. Now, what CJ does normally is sort of football, and with no score, Texans driving, he threw an absolute dart on an RPO to nik Ocollins. This will tell you what kind of game this was that this throw. This touchdown comes in at number six on the ultimate eleven, Nico wide left strap. 00:14:08 Speaker 3: Packs the gift, throws Tonico on the slam Nico into the head zone, touchdown Houston. C J stroud to Nico Collins cars six and the Texans take the lead on Tampa Bay. 00:14:24 Speaker 2: It was a part of me when the Texans took that seven to nothing the lead that thought, okay, Tampa's lost three in a row. I don't say they're gonna mail it in, but all right, just kind of chalk this one up. 00:14:33 Speaker 1: They've been on the road a couple of weeks. 00:14:34 Speaker 2: They wear a buffalo on Thursday night, had the mini bye, and then came to us. I thought, okay, maybe they're gonna pack it in. No, no, no, They ended up being an incredible, incredible heavyweight fight on Sunday. 00:14:46 Speaker 1: What it needed. 00:14:48 Speaker 2: Where the two plays at five A and five B twenty three sixteen third quarter, third and eleven, the Texas has gotten nine yards from a singletary run second and one. I'm on first down. He can make it second and one. Second down, I think it was incomplete pass. They go for third and one and it's a holding. Vidavea got held. I think Dieter ended up holding him. He needed to because Vey is just too much. So it ends up being third and eleven and c J. Stroud goes back to pass. Now he's got all kinds of receivers on this play. He's got four receivers, I'm sorry, three receivers and running back out in a route. His loan tight end is Dalton Schultz, but Dalton is helping blocking. He's not out in a route. But CJ is buying time because he can't find anybody open. He's buying time, and Schultz realized everybody was kind of taken care of, so he just kind of floats down field and then CJ ends up buying enough time to like, okay, I've I've moved round enough. Dalton, you see what you can do. And then this happened and he comes in at five a. 00:15:47 Speaker 3: CJ gets the snap, pocket collapsing, Stroud still working throws over the middle pitch Schultz step farm, Schultz to his life, forty five forty thirty five thirty hit out of bounce up for twenty nine yard line. Did he do it? 00:16:01 Speaker 1: First down? Texans. 00:16:03 Speaker 2: The two linebackers for the Bucks, I think are they make up one of the best duos in the league, the Lote David and Devin White. 00:16:11 Speaker 1: The Lote David made a. 00:16:12 Speaker 2: Play earlier in that game where he ran from the backside and made a tackle for a loss on the opposite side. I saw live and I saw it happen, and I don't know that I've seen a play like that in a long time. So he's one of the best tacklers. They're two of the best linebackers together in the league. And on that play, Schultz gets

out of the tackle of Levante David and then he flat runs over Devin White on the sideline and that charged everybody up and he gave the Texans a first down. So on the following play, the Texans decided, you know, we got a little momentum, let's dial one up and see if we can get it. 00:16:48 Speaker 1: And they did it. 00:16:49 Speaker 2: Five b Tank Dell runs the stutter and go on Carlton Davis and CJ. Stroud drops a dime in the back of the end zone. This set five B and listen to the crowd again. 00:17:00 Speaker 3: Gun gets the snap, pumps, now fires deep down the right side and tag down touchdown. T. 00:17:05 Speaker 1: Glustons a TD to tagtel no kudes Texans down one. CJ. Strouds with some lightning on this drive the throat of Schultz. 00:17:21 Speaker 3: The Schultz catch had run for the first and now tell to the end zone. 00:17:25 Speaker 2: That got the lead to twenty three twenty two. Texans would miss on the two point conversion, so they still trailed by one, but you. 00:17:34 Speaker 1: Could tell at this point the offensers rolling. 00:17:37 Speaker 2: It was about at this point that we went to a break and we were kind of lamenting the fact that they hadn't scored the two point conversions and finally said, hey, we're fine. We're gonna score another two or three times, which absolutely was dead on. So I feel good about that. I made a prediction. It was good and it led to the two plays at number four twenty three to twenty two. Quarter flipped over and the Texans got another drive going and they got down in the low red zone again. After a couple of tricky run plays went nowhere. A third down pass was incomplete. The Nico collins this fourth down, so down by one, the Miko Ryans had decision to make. Does he put Dario Goombuale out that to kick a field goal or does he go for it? 00:18:20 Speaker 1: Fourth and goal from the eleven. 00:18:23 Speaker 2: Now Daria's field goal ended up being twenty nine yards, so he could kicked the field goal to take a twenty five to twenty three lead. But at that point the Miko felt better about, you know what, let's go for this. And what a decision that was. Because CJ. Stroud found Dalton Schultz at four a for a touchdown to take the lead. Fourth and goal from the nine. Stroud gets the snap straud quick throw right side. 00:18:51 Speaker 3: Got touchdown Dalton Schultz. The Texan turns front on fourth and goal they convert. What a rocket from c J. Stroud to that tight end. 00:19:04 Speaker 1: Four touchdown passes for CJ. 00:19:08 Speaker 3: Strouds four different receivers have caught. 00:19:11 Speaker 2: Them and then finally he get a two point conversion. Texans relied on number seven's legs, not his arm, to take a thirty to twenty three lead. 00:19:20 Speaker 1: They're going for two. 00:19:21 Speaker 3: Stroud takes the snap, he's gonna run it, and CJ gets across. They get the two, and the Texans are up seven on Tampa bay Man. 00:19:33 Speaker 2: That was fun up to that point. Now before there wasn't as much fun. Texans were down seventeen to ten and a half. The Bucks got the ball to start the second half, went down and kicked the field goals, so they took a twenty to ten lead. So it was imperative that the Texans put the ball in the end zone and put the ball in the end zone fast. Now I was thinking five plays, seven play drive, you know, something like that. But go put the ball on the end zone. I was not thinking one play, but it was one play and it comes in here at number three. No Brown ran a crossing route and this is when I knew. You know, the first half we had talked about this a little bit that CJ was kind of off a little bit. It felt like, you know, he missed tank on a deep ball which he normally would hit. A couple of the throws were just kind of off of the When he made his throw. As soon as he makes the throw, I immediately think, okay, he's good because it's a throw it's a throw he's made a lot. It's a crossing route to Noah Brown, but it's a crossing route with some teeth. I mean, it's a good twenty five to thirty air yard throw and he put it right on the money where Noah Brown didn't have to stop and that was good because Tank gave him a block. And then the fun began and number three, Noah Brown takes it to the hoh seventy five yards to make it twenty to sixteen. 00:20:43 Speaker 1: It's at number three. CJ fakes the GiB CJ planting and he throws. 00:20:47 Speaker 3: Downfield over the middle and he's got a man Brown, What side fifty forty what sideline full brottle twenty fifteen, ten five. 00:20:55 Speaker 1: Fighting for the goal line? 00:20:56 Speaker 3: Ad He's good, Touchdownston. 00:21:01 Speaker 1: Rock and roll seventy five yards. 00:21:04 Speaker 4: What a block by Tank Dale, I mean you gotta have unselfish players to be successful offensively, and some guys just have to flat out do the dirty work every once in a while. 00:21:18 Speaker 1: You all can't be stars. 00:21:20 Speaker 4: And the block by Tank Dale, I mean, freeze up Noah Brown. 00:21:25 Speaker 1: Boy. 00:21:26 Speaker 3: He tight wrote that sideline barely stayed in bounds and fought off a defender right inside the ten to get to the goal line. It was Davis and he stiff armed him and to get across. 00:21:38 Speaker 2: Okay, I thought long and hard about two to one, not too too hard. I feel bad for Daria Gumbwalle because this play normally would be number one, but because of the way the game ended, it's not. 00:21:53 Speaker 1: Now. 00:21:54 Speaker 2: Had Yandre Houston Carson been able to hang on to the fumble, this would have been number one, and the fubber recovery probably is somewhere in the altern eleven two. But he Mike Evans knocked out of his hands, recovered it. The Bucks scored, and so it made the last forty six seconds more memorable than it needed to be. But score tied at thirty ball at the eleven yard line, do you go forward again or do you try a running back at kicker to see if you could take the lead. I can't

even imagine what Dimiko Ryans was going through. We've talked about this after the game, we talked about on his Coaches show. He seemed very calm in the moment and was relying on Frank Ross or Frank's like, yeah, he's got this, He's got this, and That's why you saw Frank so excited because he vouched for Dara. And when you do that to the head coach, it's got to come through. Well, Daria Goomblewallee came through. It's the first made fuel goal by a non kicker punter since two thousand and four. Wes Welker did it with the Patriot. I'm sorry with the Dolphins. That's how long ago it was, nineteen years ago. Darya Goombowalles field goal comes into number two and it's glorious. 00:23:05 Speaker 1: Oh, they're gonna try a field goal. 00:23:07 Speaker 3: Here we go with some dramatic stuff here for Frank Ross's Special Teams unit. A Gunbowale will try it a twenty nine yard attempt from the left. Hash Mark Weeks will snap, Cameron Johnston will hold a gunbowalle the running back for the lead. 00:23:26 Speaker 1: Snap is down, the kickers up. 00:23:27 Speaker 3: But it's good Doria Gumbale for three. Now the Texans are packing front. 00:23:34 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? 00:23:39 Speaker 4: We may be watching the changing of the game today and how it's played and how rosters are filled out. 00:23:48 Speaker 2: Unbelievable, Yamudra, I mean this game was truly the whole game was unbelievable, and it came down to forty six seconds left. Now, the last drive is tremendous and I could have put it playing the drive. He throws the check down their Shoultz Dalton gets out of bounds. He throws the second right Dalton. That take time out. There's the second one of Dalton. He gets tacked near your sideline. They gotta take a timeout. With thirty one seconds left, CJ hits Noah Brown two. I believe it was I don't know, somewhere on the forty yard line, but they gotta go up and spike it. 00:24:23 Speaker 1: They spike it. 00:24:23 Speaker 2: Their sixteen seconds left. Now you're thinking, sixteen seconds left, can I get one more throw over the middle, spike it and maybe take one shot. 00:24:31 Speaker 1: At the end zone. 00:24:33 Speaker 2: You'd like to get to the sideline, but they're not gonna let you get to the sideline. 00:24:36 Speaker 1: Right right, they're not gonna let you get to the sideline. 00:24:39 Speaker 2: Well, these last two plays are absolutely magical. The first one is CJ hitting Tank on the sideline to the fifteen yard line to stop the clock. 00:24:51 Speaker 1: After the spike. 00:24:52 Speaker 3: Second and ten at the forty one yard line of the Bucks, CJ and the gun one back. Here's the snap Stroud looking, Stroud throwing deep and he's got tagged down along the sideline. If you make the catch, yes, in the red zone at the fifteen yard line. 00:25:07 Speaker 4: Now you got time to make a couple of take a couple of shots to the end zone. 00:25:11 Speaker 1: If it's quick, it's three of them. 00:25:14 Speaker 3: With ten seconds to go, del looking at the replay, one foot down, two feet down the. 00:25:23 Speaker 4: Toe tapper, nice drag of the left foot. 00:25:26 Speaker 2: You saw the little black tire shreds or whatever pop up, and you thought, okay, he made that catch. 00:25:34 Speaker 1: Okay, good. 00:25:34 Speaker 2: Now ten seconds left you at the fifteen yard line. You got a couple shots for the end zone. I mean it's still a low percentage. You gotta go to the end zone. You can't get tackled shore of the en zone. The game's over. This has to go it to the end zone. And it did. Is that number one B the game winner? 00:25:53 Speaker 3: Stroud of the gun, empty backfield after motion, first down of the Bucks, fifteen ten seconds to go. 00:25:58 Speaker 1: CJ gets the snap, looking throwing to the end zone. Yes, slid so with the rest option rock and roll. 00:26:09 Speaker 3: My goodness, there are flats on the field. 00:26:18 Speaker 1: Put beyond the defense. Wanta come back, Go koops, let's go. 00:26:25 Speaker 3: Here's the call from Land Clark, bring us some good news. 00:26:29 Speaker 1: After the play, unfortunately, conduct four. 00:26:33 Speaker 2: Now with the flag on the field. Flags on the field, there were a bunch of them. There was a little bit of pause upstairs. But I had a great I had a great view of the touchdown. Anybody that was kind of in my section, I don't know what section that is. 00:26:47 Speaker 6: One. 00:26:48 Speaker 2: I don't know, one two, one o three, whatever it is, one thirty eight maybe, I don't know. I don't know what now other numbers go. But you could see Tank Dell catch the ball. But the other thing you could see if you watch close enough was Levonte Davis after the play was over, literally took his helmet and just spiked it like a football, and three refs through their flags. Right, I saw it perfectly. So I'm trying to tell the guys it's on them. It's on them that they didn't trust me totally. But I was giving them the truth, and it was Levonte David spiked his helmet, so he got the fifteen yard penalty that helped on a kickoff and the Texans win this thing. Thirty nine thirty seven. Now, the Texans weren't the only one to get w's. Other teams had improbable wins, including the Minnesota Vikings with one you're gonna want to hear well recap Week nine next on Texans Matchup. Yes, sir, welcome back to another edition of the Texans Matchup. I'm your host, John Harris Football. I had the silent reporter for your Houston Texans, and it's time to take a look back at week nine in the NFL. 00:27:47 Speaker 1: So let's crak up some music. Man. 00:27:49 Speaker 2: Let's get the juice going for this segment and start on Thursday night, when the Tennessee Titans took on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Down by three, Kenny Pickett came through for us with a touchdown, finally for Deontay Johnson. He had been waiting since twenty twentieth. Think it was maybe for COVID since he had had a touchdown. He was excited to get in the

end zone and we were too because this beat the Titans. 00:28:16 Speaker 1: First of goal. 00:28:17 Speaker 7: Now after three after the pedal date Hashi Harris to the left of Kenny Pickett, two receivers wide right. Single to the left is Pickets shotgun snap Pickett, looking right all the way, throws. 00:28:28 Speaker 5: One wide open Deontay Johnson right side of the in zone for a Steeler touchdown, and Pittsburgh, with four h two to play in the fourth takes the nineteen sixteen league. 00:28:41 Speaker 2: Thank you, Steelers got to win twenty to sixteen. Didn't do a whole lot except win a game. Can you pick it through four hundred and sixty? In that touchdown, Jayleen Warren ran for eighty eight yards on love and carries. Dante Johnson had that touchdown, but Will Levis through pick oh bloom off the rose maybe I don't know. Derek Henry only had seventy five yards. We did have a touchdown Kyle Fields one nuts DeAndre Hopkins held in check of the second half, Steelers moved to five and three, Titans fall to three and five. Then we went to Germany. Yeah, Germany? How about that? Went to Germany and it started off great for the Chiefs. Thought they scored, called back, didn't get it, didn't matter. Patrick Mahos found where she Rice to make it seven to nothing. 00:29:24 Speaker 8: Second and ten now from the eleven Kansas City's opening possession. Mahomes quick out, this has caught five Rice Rice trying to guider's way out of the ams out Hey scores. 00:29:34 Speaker 9: Touchdown following this blockers an easy score for Rashi Rice touchdown Kansas City our first touchdown in Frankfurt today. 00:29:45 Speaker 10: Almost too easy, little bubble screen to the offensive left side. 00:29:50 Speaker 1: Rice. 00:29:50 Speaker 10: He's a physical, tough wide receiver, catches the football north and south behind good blocking. 00:29:57 Speaker 1: It was almost too easy. 00:29:58 Speaker 2: As it was, and the Chiefs built a twenty one to nothing lead. The Dolphins fought back. Raheem Moster touchdown May twenty one to fourteen, and the Dolphins. 00:30:08 Speaker 1: Got the ball and drove on a final drive. Could they go down and score? Jalen waddles open. Only one problem that snap fourth. 00:30:17 Speaker 8: Down and ten Miami ballgame here had a bad snap. 00:30:22 Speaker 1: Two has got to fall on it and that'll do it. A bad snap. Two. 00:30:27 Speaker 8: I had to run back and just fall on the football back at the forty four yard line. Kansas City will take over on downs, one minute left in the game, only one time out for the Dolphins, and the Chiefs can take a knee and head back to the States with a victory. 00:30:47 Speaker 1: What in an awful way. 00:30:50 Speaker 10: To end a comeback bid. The snap was not awful. It was mid mid height. Two is right side. I think two was trying to get a look down the field. And to be honest with you, again, Miami's just not getting it done against the good teams. Critical play when you gotta have it. It's a two plays in a row. They had Sedgric Wilson for a touchdown. They couldn't get the football to them fourth downs. TA can't handle the snap. That's imploding. That's not what Kansas City did to them. They imploded on those two plays. 00:31:30 Speaker 2: Yes they did, and they had to fly home from Germany thinking all about the Miami falls to six and three as the Chiefs moved to seven and two with that win, Chiefs shot in the second half that was kind of interesting, but the Dolphins got it going homes through for five and two touchdowns. But it was the chief defense They scored on a fumble return Brian Cook did with thirty three seconds left in a half to give them a twenty one to zhering lead, held Miami at fourteen. Great game by the chief defense. That is probably the biggest aspect to this season for the Chiefs. Getting that performance now in one of the craziest performances you're ever going to hear about. Let's go to Atlanta, two foreign four football teams. Atlanta's starting Taylor Heineke, the Vikings starting Jared Hall, a rookie, but a guy that had been there from the beginning of the year, the backup guy named Josh Dobbs. And if you follow Josh Dobbs' story, he is an aeronautical engineer. There was a thought he was gonna work for NASA someday, and I think he in fact was on an internship or something like that when he got a call to come back to the league and he ended up in Arizona. And he started season in Arizona, and he actually beating the Dallas Cowboys in Arizona. But then last week there was there was a a that's what it came out from johnan Gannon, head coach Arizona, said no, we're not gonna We're not starting Josh Dobbs. And thought, well, that's weird. You're not gonna start Josh Dobbs, and you're gonna start Colin Murracy' going Claytonton, You're. 00:33:06 Speaker 1: Going the rookie and you're really truly throwing in the. 00:33:08 Speaker 2: Towel, and then you find out, okay, Josh Dobbs got traded to the Vikings after Kirk Cousins had torn his achilles. So, like I said in the quarterback depth chart, was Jaron Hall and Josh Dobbs until Hall went down injured and Dobbs has to come into the game for the Vikings. He's on the sideline with the starting offensive line, taking snaps from Garrett Bradberry, the starting center, and going through his cadence so the offensive lineman can hear him because they had never taken a snap from one another. They had never lined up together. Dobbs had spent the whole week just learning a few of the plays. All Dobbs did was lead the Vikings to a win. Somehow someway twenty to thirty four, one hundred and fifty eight yards and two touchdowns, But with just. 00:33:57 Speaker 1: Under two minutes left, Tyler l Jeer had scored. 00:34:02 Speaker 2: Just over two minutes, Tyler Jeer had scored for the Falcons to make it twenty eight twenty four, and you thought, ah, Josh Dobbs, great story, but this is where it's gonna end. With twenty two seconds left from the six yard line, Dobbs

went back to pass, bought himself time. Let's listen to the great Paul Allen and a good friend of the show from the Minnesota Vikings make this call for the Vikings Network. 00:34:24 Speaker 6: Jackson in motion to the right, eleventh play of a sixty nine yard possession, Dobs back to pass on third down, he. 00:34:31 Speaker 1: Stays in the pocket, fires to the end zone. Touchdown. 00:34:37 Speaker 2: Brandon Powell, the former Falcon has Dayton the Atlanta Falcons with a. 00:34:44 Speaker 11: Six yard touchdown pass. 00:34:46 Speaker 1: From Josh Dobbs. 00:34:48 Speaker 5: Thirty twenty eighth Minnesota. 00:34:51 Speaker 1: With twenty seconds ago. 00:34:53 Speaker 11: Paul, if you had any question to this team's intestinal fortitude, they've been answered. I mean, you had every excuse in the business to not show up today. Backup quarterback rookie. He goes down. Josh Dobbs been here about thirty six hours. He comes out and is able to move this offense down the field without JJ without kJ Osbourne. Wow, what a gutsy performance by this Minnesota Viking team today. 00:35:24 Speaker 1: I believe that was Pete Bursich at the end. 00:35:25 Speaker 2: You heard him talk about all that was out, you know, No Kurt kJ Osborne, justin, Jefferson both out so Dobbs didn't even have his main weapons. And then you have Brandon Powell, the little guy from Saint Augustine in Florida, just outside of Jacksonville, coming through big against his former team. So you have Dobbs who doesn't even know anybody Powell against his former team, and then Vikings get to win and keep their season alive. 00:35:50 Speaker 1: And look, it's gonna be tough. 00:35:51 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like Dobb's got given an opportunity would do something in the league. 00:35:57 Speaker 1: I mean, he's He's just always been reliable. 00:36:00 Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough with the Vikings to kind of maintain pace with the Lions, but at five and four, they're gonna be squarely in the wildcard race. And I mean, I would just love to see Josh Dobbs get an opportunity because what he did on Sunday was just it's mind blowing. I mean, you had Josh Dobbs getting in the game. Now he could play quarterback. I mean, Daria goombually had to kick and he's never done that, but Dobbs did it throughout the game. Kudos to him, man, that was just an absolutely incredible performance. And the Vikings get their fifth win of the year. Now a team looking for their third win of the year, the Green Bay Packers. It didn't look it hasn't looked good for the Packers, but finally at home, the defense came up big and Aaron Jones got himself in the end zone one time to start the game at seven to nothing. 00:36:51 Speaker 1: They had tacked on a few. 00:36:53 Speaker 2: Few goals to take a thirteen to three lead, and finally Packers put the capper on. 00:36:59 Speaker 1: Jordan Loved to Rookie Mustard which. 00:37:02 Speaker 4: Wine to the right side, fun dial into the right side of the quarterback

Glove. 00:37:06 Speaker 1: Jones in the slot right now. 00:37:08 Speaker 11: He orbit routes to the left and they faked the past to Joe swinging over the middle on musk Grave ten the end zone. 00:37:15 Speaker 1: Touchdown and a dagger. 00:37:23 Speaker 12: Excellent ball fake bye the quarterback Jordan Love. 00:37:27 Speaker 1: He found musk Grave widout but at the ten into the end zone for the touchdown. It's nineteen to three green Bay under four minutes to go. 00:37:37 Speaker 13: Play now was a slip play design. Look the left, look right, then throw over the middle. The Rams had no chance touchdown Tackers. 00:37:49 Speaker 2: This is one of my favorite plays. Is why I put it in there. I was gonna put the Aaron Jones touchdown. I was like, now I love this play. Fake screen one side, fake screen the other, spin back to the middle of the tight end, zooming down the middle, and this play is normally wide open and it's one of my favorite plays. 00:38:05 Speaker 1: I put it in back in nineteen ninety. 00:38:06 Speaker 2: Four, all up, long ago, A long time ago actually, and it worked for Luke Musgrave to get in the end zone to finish that. 00:38:14 Speaker 1: On twenty to three. 00:38:14 Speaker 2: Jordan Love threw for two twenty eight and a touchdown. Aaron Jones had touchdown rushing. Muskrave had three for eighty one and a touchdown. Packers moved to three and five, Rams fall to three and six. Now, who doesn't love to see the Cowboys lose? Yeah, I mean Cowboys fans, but they're not listening, I don't think. But if they are, Hi, hi guys, I'm glad you're here. But your team lost, So we're gonna celebrate that, just because that's what rivals do. I suppose. And the Cowboys went to go take on the Eagles. It was a tremendous football game. But the Cowboys had every opportunity in this game, every opportunity in. 00:38:51 Speaker 1: This game and couldn't take advantage of it. 00:38:53 Speaker 2: They had a seventeen to fourteen lead at half thanks to the Brandon Aubrey fifty one yard field goal, But when the Jules came out for the second half, Jalen Hurts dialed up the Slim Reaper. 00:39:05 Speaker 1: First and ten. They were at the Cowboys twenty nine. Hurts back again. He steps up. He's lucky, he is going deep and it is cut. It has caught down the far side of the field. 00:39:17 Speaker 14: Who is Jenny bad fun tell he spit for a touchdown? That skinny bags take flie that Skinny Batman. They've got one on one coverage on the outside with Skinny Batman. 00:39:28 Speaker 1: And he just runs right by de Ron Plan and in for a touchdown. 00:39:32 Speaker 14: This is a perfectly thrown ball over the outside shoulder. 00:39:36 Speaker 1: Loved the adjustment by Batman. 00:39:38 Speaker 2: Okay, Mike Quick goes with Skinny Batman. I like Slim Reaper either way to Monte Smith. Touchdown makes it twenty one seventeen. Aj Brown caught a touchdown a little bit later to make it twenty eight to seventeen. 00:39:50 Speaker 1: Going into the

fourth quarter. 00:39:52 Speaker 2: The Cowboys would throw a touchdown to Jalen Tolbert to make it twenty eight twenty three. 00:39:56 Speaker 1: The Cowboys went for tune and looked like Dak Prescott was in for. 00:39:59 Speaker 2: The two, but he had three toes out of bound, so it stayed twenty eight to twenty three. The Cowboys had one last shot at the end zone, and well they came up just short. 00:40:10 Speaker 12: Okay from the twenty seven. Prescott backed in the pocket forever deep. He's going to the end zone, lamb at the three, but he's gonna be tackled short of the end zone and the game's gonna end. 00:40:22 Speaker 1: That was not good by the Cowboys. 00:40:27 Speaker 3: The Eagles are playing about fifteen to twenty yards, all take your little out route, get ten more, make it a little more manageable. 00:40:39 Speaker 1: That was not good in my opinion. 00:40:43 Speaker 3: And I think they're gonna look at it and say, wow, we kind of screwed that up. 00:40:47 Speaker 2: Prescott's two that was taken away the fourth down throw to the tight end. I'm trying to remember who the tight end was. I think it was Ferguson, maybe might have been screwmaker. That didn't get called a touchdown, I was called a touchdo originally overturned by replay tough ending for the Cowboys. Dak was tremendous three hundred and seventy four yards, three touchdowns. Jay Hurts also two hundred and seven yards and two touchdowns. AJ Brown with a touchdown sixty six yard receiving Ceedee Lamb was incredible. Richmond, Texas native Ceedee Lamb leven catches one hundred and ninety one yard And if anybody thinks he's not wide receiver one or is a wide receiver one, I need to get your brain check. 00:41:27 Speaker 1: That dude is all about it. 00:41:28 Speaker 2: But his Cowboys come up short twenty eight, twenty three, and then on Sunday night it was the Cincinnati Bengals, the Texans next opponent, going toe to toe with the Buffalo Bills. Now we all remember this game from last year was stopped after Damorrow Hamlin's heart had stopped on the field. He was just suscitated and it was a really scary scene. Damar had some quiet moments on the field, very emotional. He was inactive for the game, but there obviously was a lot of focus and he spent about fifteen minutes on the field after the game just taking it all in being alive. And I don't say that flippingly, I mean literally being alive. And much love to DeMar Hamlin for how far he has come. But in this game, these two teams, they don't like each other. And it started early as Joe Burrow and the Bengals took a seven zero lead. On this dime to IRV Smith Junior, first and goal from the seven. Bengals go empty. 00:42:26 Speaker 6: Three receivers left to right, shotgun snapped the Borough back to pass, looks left, throws left back quarter of. 00:42:31 Speaker 2: The end zone. 00:42:32 Speaker 6: It is caught, touchdown Bengals IRV Smith with a leaf being catch. And for a fourth consecutive game, the Bengals have scored a touchdown on their opening drive, nine to eighteen to go in the first quarter, Cincinnati six, Buffalo nothing. There's the fast start that Tony Boselli was talking about. 00:42:51 Speaker 15: Well, they get man coverage Ryan and it's Jordan Porter against the assignment against Irbe Smith and it's a great round. He sticks it at the top and then runs a corner route right to that back left pylon and Joe Burrow's going there the whole time and really nice touch, easy ball to catch two feet in bounds and the rear end on top of it and Poyer was nowhere close. 00:43:14 Speaker 2: But the Bills weren't going away. They got a guy named Josh Allen. He runs well. 00:43:18 Speaker 6: Shotgun stap Allen fakes the handoff, rolls right, pumps a couple of times, running to the corner of the end zone, and strolls in for a Bills touchdown. 00:43:26 Speaker 2: But the Bengals were on one all night long. Defense played great, really kind of held the Bills and check. Josh Allen did throw for two fifty eight, but he had an interception. 00:43:38 Speaker 1: The Bills just couldn't run the ball, but the Bengals did. 00:43:42 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow threw four three forty eight, three forty eight, including twenty two on this pass to Drew Sample a tight end who put it in the end zone to make it twenty one to seven. 00:43:54 Speaker 6: Bank third and seven ball the Bill's twenty two. It's on the near side left hash fourteen seven. Bengals on top Cincinnati trying to win for a fourth straight time. Slot right, single man left, Burrow in the gun with backs on either side, Traveon Williams to his left. 00:44:10 Speaker 1: Burrow gets the snap back to pass. 00:44:12 Speaker 6: Burrow, looking under pressure, dumps it short and right cut by Sample room to run to the fifteen outside the numbers ten down to the five, diving of the hand zone. 00:44:21 Speaker 1: Touchdown Bengals. 00:44:24 Speaker 6: Drew Sample with his first touchdown of the year, made that catch running down the right side and finds Peter twenty two yards. Bengals lead twenty to seven. It's a great job by Burrow in that offensive line. 00:44:40 Speaker 1: To keep it going. And Sample's gonna stay in the block. 00:44:44 Speaker 15: And I am convinced that Micah Hyde actually has hidden man coverage because you watch Micah Hyde. 00:44:49 Speaker 1: He does not blits. Initially, He's sitting there reading everything else is man. 00:44:54 Speaker 15: He thinks Sample's staying in the block, so he comes Sample sneaks out and there's nobody there, and that's how he scores. 00:45:01 Speaker 2: Bengals win twenty four to eighteen. Moved through five and three and await the Houston Texans. Okay, when we get back, let's relift some of the great moments against the Bengals next right here in Texans Matchup. We got one final segment of this initiative Texans Matchup. Appreciate you guys being here with me. John Harris, football analyst, sideline reporter. But the Cincinnati Bengals coming up. I just figured, you know what, let's spend this last segment looking back at some of the magical moments that have happened against the Cincinnati Bengals. A couple of these, actually, three of the four happened when I was on the sideline, so I resonate, and two of them happened in Cincinnati. One of them that didn't it was thanks to Randy Bullock. Christmas Eve night, twelve ten, Texans. Randy Bullock ready to kick a field goal, and he kicked it over my head. Unlucky for the Bengals. I was standing outside the upbraks, no. 00:45:55 Speaker 3: Timeouts left for either team. Five seconds to go. Texans lead twelve ten. If they hang on, they win the AFC South. If they don't, they'll play next week at Tennessee for the championship. Forty three yard A tip between the hashes for Randy Bullock. Huber will hold, snap is down, bullets kick. 00:46:15 Speaker 1: Is up, It's got the leg and it's no good. The Texans win. Houston wins the AFC South. 00:46:23 Speaker 3: Well, the twelve ten victory over the Bengals, mistfield goal at the buzzer, and the Texans of the AFC South champions. 00:46:32 Speaker 1: Fantastic. 00:46:34 Speaker 2: Then there's twenty fifteen to Monday Night Football where TJ. Yeats made magic happen for the second time. 00:46:40 Speaker 3: Yates under center, blew in the backfield, two receivers left, one of the right side in Washington. Yates drops back, fires left side of the end zone, wants Hopkins and DeAndre with. 00:46:53 Speaker 1: The catch, touchdown. 00:46:55 Speaker 3: Yeats to Hopkins has the Texans take the lead. 00:46:59 Speaker 1: You can write this DJ Yats brings the Texans in front of the Bengals. And of course you remember the first time Yeats gets the snap, looking to his right, throws over the middle cart touchdown. 00:47:13 Speaker 3: You staid Kevin Walter with the TV reception two seconds to go, the Texans can take the lead. 00:47:21 Speaker 1: With the extra part, they would, they'd win. They got some help. 00:47:25 Speaker 2: They won the AFC South for the first time at twenty eleven at Cincinnati. Oh, it's been exciting in Cincinnati, to say the least, and hopefully Sunday will be the exact same sort of feeling exciting with the Texans win. We'll see on Sunday. Everyone, it's gonna be fun in Cincinnati. Have a great one and as always, go Texans.
