00:00:00One yards the Bengals have rushing the ball if you're the New England defense you say hey
00:00:04We got to stop Corey Dillon
00:00:05And they are missing their number one draft pick Richard Seymour hurt his leg in practice earlier this week
00:00:10And he has been the man in the middle taking double teams
00:00:13Causing a lot of havoc for a rookie, and I think that day he has been sorely missed here in the first half
00:00:19Seymour the sixth overall pick and the quarterback comparison
00:00:24Drew Bledsoe has put up more yards than John getting the kid in a fumbling the ball
00:00:31But Corey Dillon has been the man for this Cincinnati team 13 carries 86 yards
00:00:38Aside from that one turnover. I think John Kitna has done a very nice job leading this team
00:00:44Very good management of the offense and we talked about that earlier very similar to what Trent Dilfer did in Baltimore last year
00:00:50Don't play outside your strengths. Don't try to do things that you're not capable of doing John kitten is a fiery leader
00:00:56He's a guy that has a great presence in the locker room
00:00:59The guy that people are looking up to on this offense keep some of these young receivers under control
00:01:04Poised and confident, and you've seen that here in the first half Neil Rockers tease it up
00:01:09Jr. Redmond stands at his own goal line
00:01:14This is Redmond about four yards deep fumbles it and decides to take a knee
00:01:21So
00:01:23Drew Bledsoe comes back onto the field
00:01:27Let's go in that first half 11 of 14 122 as we showed you
00:01:33It's got some good running from Antoine Smith. They carry 30 yards
00:01:39You know the difference in this ballgame the reason the Bengals aren't
00:01:43Really ahead by a seven or more. They're only 20% on third and short for third down
00:01:51First down in 10 from the 20 out of the offset I and words and Smith play action
00:02:03Last time these two teams met here in Cincinnati was back in
00:02:091994 drew Bledsoe's
00:02:11second year
00:02:13Let's go through for 300 yards in that game
00:02:17As New England went on to win at 31 to 28
00:02:24Three wide receivers again with the running back walking back second down
00:02:37Steve Foley there to lead the way
00:02:40In these situations right now the Patriots are facing third and long
00:02:44That's exactly what the key of spikes the Bengals told us yesterday. He's licking his chops for that's when they can turn loose their linebackers
00:02:51He's Steve Foley Brian Simmons. They've got these zone blitz packages. They can come off any corner
00:02:56They force them into obvious passing situations. This is what they like to see 37 from the 23
00:03:02They need to go to the 34 first down. There's a three receiver package once again
00:03:08Let's go looks over the middle and which juggles it and drops it and he had the first down
00:03:16Ball thrown a little bit behind him, but a catchable ball
00:03:22Brian Simmons covering
00:03:24Steve Foley had a great spin move and put a big hit
00:03:27On drew Bledsoe right after he got rid of the ball helmet right in the chest bang
00:03:33And even when you put a big hit on drew Bledsoe he didn't go very far he's a big man himself
00:03:37That's why they wear that flak jacket to for that very reason
00:03:41Peter Ward back deep Lee Johnson his first putt 45 yards gave him the record all-time yardage leader
00:03:49wobbly kick this time
00:03:51And it takes a New England bounce all the way down to the 30
00:03:56And it's downed at the 30-yard line a 47-yard
00:03:59So 1354 to go here in the third quarter of play here comes the Bengals

00:04:19Game tied at 10. It's really getting sticky down there on the field hot and humid day rained early
00:04:25the
00:04:26Sun broke clear
00:04:28John Kitton a passing goal at the sideline
00:04:35Holy mackerel great concentration by Darnay Scott a gain of 33
00:04:42That was a heck of a throw by John Kitton
00:04:44I watched Darnay Scott get off the line of scrimmage Otis Smith gets in his kitchen right off the bat stays with it
00:04:50But watch him take the last step and get vertical right at the right time
00:04:54Just enough to get those fingertips on the ball and haul it in one heck of a catch by Darnay Scott
00:05:00They have missed him big-time. That's why
00:05:03Darnay Scott had a career-high 68 catches in a thousand-yard season back in
00:05:11Then he hurt his leg in training camp broke his leg last year three catches 72 yards for Darnay Scott
00:05:18Cory Dillon running the ball coach. Does this team remind you at all of some of the players you had back on the 1988 a
00:05:25Lot of similarities, you know, Tim McGee and Darnay Scott look a lot like Eddie Brown quick receiver like Peter Ward riding home on it
00:05:32Terrific receiving tight end like Tony McGee and of course the big change is the different of the difference is boomer size
00:05:38It was pulled in trigger force
00:05:40to the side
00:05:47Pretty good year that year in 88 didn't you?
00:05:51Yeah, we got robbed in the Super Bowl
00:05:55Robbed robbed up there because we couldn't cover the tight ends at the 49ers
00:06:02It's a story that everybody's had to tell
00:06:08Brett Jones played on that
00:06:108849 or Super Bowl championship team that beat the Cincinnati Bengals getting a throne on the rather tackled on the release
00:06:18Should be an incompletion Brian Cox shooting the gap
00:06:22Why do you think Brian Cox has changed the attitude on this team?
00:06:26What a great offseason acquisition to get Brian Cox
00:06:29You see him coming up the middle of the blitz getting the kidna and he has changed the attitude and he told us yesterday when
00:06:35He came in
00:06:35He said we have to change the work ethic work ethic of this
00:06:39Former Patriot team and he's been part of doing that elected captain this year
00:06:44So Neil Rockers comes in to attempt
00:06:4847-yard field goal
00:06:53It's already good for 36 for the lead it's up looks like it was tipped at the line of scrimmage
00:06:59But he has enough

00:07:3613 to 10 the Bengals lead the New England Patriots
00:07:41Here's an interesting stat for you after the kickoff Rackers sends it away
00:07:45Redmond will take a knee deep in the end zone all of last September the Bengals scored seven points today. They have
00:07:5313
00:07:54Wednesday on CBS prepare yourself for a whole new breed of drama
00:07:58Lou Diamond Phillips Stars and Wolf Lake premiering Wednesday at 10 9 central on CBS
00:08:04How about that already a big difference Brent?
00:08:07They scored seven points at all of all of September last year and they have 13 today
00:08:12You know, I know this is gonna sound a little weird, but I don't feel like I'm in a Cincinnati Bengals game
00:08:17They've been crisp. Hey, this is aggressive. It's way
00:08:34Wilson once again, we're an hour to Wilson the fifth year man out of Florida State
00:08:40And the starting lineup today
00:08:46And the
00:08:48Bengals
00:08:50are playing really well on defense and
00:08:53They'll be getting some more help. That's because Justin Smith their first round draft pick fourth overall signed his contract last night
00:09:02Six year contract worth 40 million. He got a 10 million dollar signing bonus
00:09:07And then out of the University of Missouri
00:09:11Underneath
00:09:16Right now the Patriots looking to leave
00:09:20Well, the reason they're looking shaky is the Bengals are bringing a different blitz on almost every down that time Mark Edwards
00:09:27The pullback for the Patriots went out of on motion
00:09:29The defense just kind of loosened up which would tell you if you're on the offense looks like a zone defense instead
00:09:35They came with extra linebacker coach when the team start blitzing every down
00:09:40When it started working two or three years ago and honest again
00:09:44It's almost backfired on the NFL because so many quarterbacks now it didn't hit
00:09:48It's hard to protect them with the extra rushers third down as well from the 18. They need to go to the 34 first down
00:09:54and a timeout call
00:09:57the key of spikes
00:10:00Desperately looking for an official to get a timeout
00:10:03So it's 1112 to go here in the third quarter of play third down as well coming up for the Patriots
00:10:16Play and the crowd starting to get into it
00:10:20Gus the who date can't haven't heard that for a few years on coach
00:10:24No, but I tell you what, it sure does sound good when you're on the field down there playing ball
00:10:29New England third down as well from the 18. They need to go to the 34 first down
00:10:34And it's getting loud in here play action. Let's go sets up a screen
00:10:40And they won't get it
00:10:44Jermaine Wiggins running the ball Brian Simmons there to make the tackle
00:10:50And the Bengals are playing with a lot of energy and emotion right now
00:10:59Patriots that time pulled two guards to the right and through the screen to the left. You don't see that much friend
00:11:03No, I'm coaching actually look like it was setting up pretty good
00:11:06Damien what he didn't get his block and
00:11:09All of a sudden that Bengals defense collapsed great pursuit. That's the speed of linebackers. That's right
00:11:14Lee Johnson from the seven Peter Warwick at the 35
00:11:21Gets away from the football to Bucky Jones downs it a 50-yard punt
00:11:26For Lee Johnson 1024 to go third quarter Bengals on offense right after this

00:11:48You
00:11:5513 to 10
00:11:56Cincinnati on top of New England here in the third quarter play a lot of time remaining and the Bengals have scored on their last
00:12:03Three possessions since John Kim has fumbled one touchdown and two field goals. They take over at their own 41
00:12:13First down and 10
00:12:16The taglia in motion handoff Cory Dillon
00:12:22No game maybe one next Sunday

00:12:51Second down at night from the 42 Cory Dillon with 90 yards rushing. Here's the reverse to Peter Warwick
00:12:57Warwick bottled up reverses field could be dangerous needs a block
00:13:03Spin
00:13:05Warwick
00:13:0845
00:13:11But he looked like he ran 75 yards
00:13:14Just like they practiced all week. That's exactly right
00:13:17You're gonna see Peter Warwick get cut off on the reverse to the right side and stop and you know what coach his greatest strength
00:13:23He's a creator
00:13:26He creates wiggle shake little limp leg a
00:13:31Couple moves and that's what you need to do. You need to get the ball in his hands any way you can
00:13:36Like got with a great block on that play
00:13:39Bangles with the first down at the New England 45
00:13:43Play action getting a looking underneath to get the intended receiver ball thrown behind him
00:13:53Anytime you throw that far down the field you've both got to be I guess the word is on the same page
00:13:58But you've got to read the defense the same way
00:14:01If they're laying inside you gear down as a receiver if they're playing outside technique you try to run away from coverage
00:14:06Yeah, it just looked like Dugan's was a little late getting out of his break and kidnapped stepped up and threw that ball
00:14:11Romeo Cornell the defensive coordinator
00:14:14for the Patriots
00:14:16second down at 10 from the 45
00:14:19Dylan the lone setback
00:14:22That's the tag me here's Cory Dillon with a blocker
00:14:26Cory Dillon tackle from behind
00:14:28Like Ryan Cox may have gotten to him first because you mentioned Romeo Cornell
00:14:32There's been a couple series where I've looked out on the field today
00:14:35And one of the best cover corners in the league Ty Law hasn't been out there. We've seen Terrell Buckley
00:14:40We've seen Otis Smith, and I don't know if Ty Law's got something
00:14:43That's that's keeping him off the field or if they're just rotating
00:14:46But he's been off the field more than a few times and he just came back on right now
00:14:51But I can't imagine why you don't want your best corner out there
00:14:54Makes it third down at 10 from the 45. They need to go to the 35 for first down
00:14:59Bangles one of six on third down conversions today
00:15:03The kitten aligns up in the shotgun
00:15:06Here's John Kittman
00:15:18Gain of 24
00:15:22On a spot just splits the sideline the coverage is gonna be dropped he drops coverage expecting help back here
00:15:29And to Bucky Jones late getting over the top coach and if you're a corner Terrell Buckley
00:15:33You saw him get his hands on Scott and that's exactly what you need to do in the corner position
00:15:38And that should buy enough time for that safety to come on over and get in that dead spot where you saw Darnay Scott
00:15:44Kits the ball to Bucky Jones just late getting over what a return for Darnay Scott for catches 96 yards
00:15:51Running up the middle
00:15:56Bengals have done a good job of play selection here every time they get the ball deep down and throw the ball down the field
00:16:01They immediately get the ball. That's Dylan
00:16:03The one thing about John Kittman in Seattle was he would make a big mistake once a ball game
00:16:09I don't want to jinx the guy but they're doing a good job of not putting him into a position where he's trying to make
00:16:14A big play play after play just here and there
00:16:18When and there's a guy that's a bit of receiver that made an impact for the Bengals Chad Johnson this preseason
00:16:23He hasn't gotten the ball yet, but I'm anxious to see them use him. He can make some things happen
00:16:27second and six from the 17
00:16:30This is Bennett and Bennett
00:16:33Get too far Brian Cox
00:16:35With the tackle with Brian Cox has played a number of places in Chicago and Miami with the Jets and now in New England
00:16:43Last year he's with the Jets and he came into training camp
00:16:47Mike Rabel had his jersey number 51, so he wore number zero
00:16:51So what happened?
00:16:53For an undisclosed amount of money. He was able to get his number 51 back to be determined later
00:17:00It was a big price if he didn't want to talk about it. I guarantee you third down and four from the 15
00:17:07Kidnapping
00:17:10Incomplete intended for Darne Scott he wanted to fly
00:17:15Otis Smith covering
00:17:19visuals
00:17:20They're letting them play. They're letting them play
00:17:22but there's that five-yard chuck zone and Darne Scott looked like he ran a hook-and-go coach and
00:17:28You see him get to the top of the round and start to go and there's Otis Smith getting his hands on him and holding
00:17:33Him up. He wasn't able to get to that ball and maybe the referees just determined. It wasn't a catchable ball, but
00:17:39Five yard chuck zone
00:17:41Neil Rackers good from 36 and 47. This is a 33 yard attempt. They get it down
00:17:49Good again
00:17:50Neil Rackers perfect today a man that was 12 of 21 one year ago
00:17:57Is mowing them down this afternoon?
00:18:04Bengals have scored on four straight possessions
00:18:08Three field goals in one touchdown the scoring drive. Neil Rackers has been perfect on the day
00:18:16Sends it off J. R. Redmond five yards deep decides to bring it out
00:18:23Yes to the 20
00:18:2722 a
00:18:28Winning spirit in the stadium this afternoon and I tell you what there was one man that knew about winning here in Cincinnati Sam Weiss
00:18:36He knew playoff football the last time the Bengals won a playoff game was January 6
00:18:4291 they beat the Oilers 41 14 the following week
00:18:46They lost their last playoff game 20 to 10 to the then Los Angeles Raiders
00:18:52Yeah, we got robbed on that one too, by the way
00:18:55Do you notice the one important part of that that clip Boomer Esiason?
00:19:00That's right. The best way to coach him was fold your arms and don't say anything
00:19:04The boomer that's right first to 10 from the 22

00:19:30The
00:19:32Patriots are having trouble. They can't protect for the pass and they know where to run the ball. So offensively just nothing happened
00:19:41Second down nine from the 23
00:19:44Let's go quick strike
00:19:47And
00:19:54We saw early on when the Patriots could run the ball their passing game was open up opening up
00:19:59But look at this graphic these last four possessions three plays two yards three yards 20
00:20:05They got a field goal out of it
00:20:06But they haven't run the ball as effectively as they did earlier in the game and that's when their passing game was opening up
00:20:12They've become one-dimensional. They're not even trying to run the ball in the heart of the Cincinnati defense
00:20:18And it's allowing a lot of pressure on drew blood. So third down and five from the 27
00:20:23They need to go to the 32 for a first down
00:20:26Let's go in trouble gets it away
00:20:29They are Redmond the intended receiver
00:20:31But a flag is on the play and a late flag and I think
00:20:34Raynard Wilson might have just jumped right here at the bottom of the screen
00:20:37That one's most likely against the Bengals being offside
00:20:43So if you're sitting at home right now and you're watching this Patriot offense start to stall
00:20:49Do you start thinking about Terry Glynn?
00:20:53Well, I don't I tell you what as a coach let that guy go
00:20:56He didn't want to play this year and they went through a lot of trouble with him. It's time to move on
00:21:01I think the players think that too for the Patriots
00:21:04He's a good player they miss him, okay, we admit that now we got to go play with somebody else and Bill Belichick
00:21:10Told us about the type of guys that he brought in and they were very aggressive this offseason brought in 18 veteran free agents
00:21:15And that's gonna really pay dividends in situations like this, but I like Bill Belichick team. I think it's really progressing
00:21:20I think you got to give kudos to Robert Kraft being allowing him to go out and spend the money be aggressive
00:21:29I'm lucky to have a guy like Bill Belichick
00:21:32A
00:21:33Lot of their veterans are just plain veterans. They're not just guys that are free agents
00:21:39Look at that list of and the years in the league
00:21:43You bring experience you bring leadership
00:21:45You bring you know an attitude to the ballclub when you bring that kind of experience in and fetch the wrath of Patriots you bring
00:21:51In locker room guys coach and in this last year Bill Belichick told us we had 11 guys
00:21:55It just happened to be wearing the same uniform 11 individuals this year. We're a team
00:21:59He said this is a team
00:22:02Here's where it pays off. They're down in the third quarter, and they need to come back to win a game
00:22:06Let's see if the veteran helps
00:22:22Will force this Patriots team to punt it away
00:22:25You know it looked like
00:22:27Drew Bloodstone might have had some trouble with his footwork getting that ball. Maybe just stumbled just a little bit
00:22:33And you see him almost get you see his foot get stepped on
00:22:36Maybe just allowed Mark Edwards to hesitate a second getting up in there and by then it was too late
00:22:41But then you had 11 bingles all over the football. That was a great pursuit
00:22:48Lee Johnson is fourth point
00:22:51Lee Johnson is fourth point
00:22:54Wobbly kick Peter Ward gets away from it out of bounds
00:22:59Let's see where the official spots it at the 30
00:23:0539 yard front now tonight on 60 minutes
00:23:08Why is Henry Kissinger being accused of aiding and abetting an assassination the victim's son talks 60 minutes tonight?
00:23:14Then if you or anyone you know missed any part of the amazing race
00:23:19Here's your chance to see it don't miss the encore presentation of the show the critics give four stars
00:23:24Followed by the CBS Sunday movie the Patriots saint of liars
00:23:28starring Ellen Burstyn
00:23:31Dana Delaney, it's all here tonight on six on CBS
00:23:37First down ten from the 30-yard line for the Bengals
00:23:41trying to add to their lead up by six
00:23:45324 to go third quarter of play
00:23:47And
00:23:49Dylan hit by Teddy Brewski
00:23:52Goes down
00:23:53And the last four possessions for the Bengals. It's been a very successful outings
00:23:58You know, we mentioned Richard Seymour the nose tackle the Patriots hurt in his leg and being out today
00:24:03But you also have to look at the fact William McGinnis had micro back surgery in June
00:24:07He's only been in in a handful of plays lawyer Malloy hurt his back here in the first half
00:24:12He's not in there
00:24:12So they've got a little bit of a makeshift defense going on right now
00:24:15Somebody's gonna have to put the clamps down on the Cincinnati offense second down and eight from the 32-yard line
00:24:31When he caught the ball
00:24:32Put the ball away, but he looked down to see where the out-of-bounds was
00:24:36See how much of a dead leg he had to give it
00:24:38You know war it's a fascinating player because he can do so many things for the team
00:24:43Last year 51 catches
00:24:46592 yards for receiving touchdowns
00:24:48two touchdowns running the ball one return first man in Bengals history to have
00:24:55Touchdowns in three different categories receiving running and returning that's not true because I have a receiving running and interceptions
00:25:08Continues to have a terrific game
00:25:11Out of bounds and Scott over the 100-yard mark now
00:25:17As he picks up eight. He has five catches for about
00:25:22105 104 to be official
00:25:26And John Kipnis having a good day. Also 12 of 19
00:25:30146 yards no touchdowns. No interceptions one fumble Cory Dillon again
00:25:41And he steps out of
00:25:45You can start to see that the defense getting tired just flat-out
00:25:50Monkey jumping on the back, you know, of course the thing is impressive about Dylan watch him
00:25:55You think of him as inside runner watch him cut back watch Lorenzo
00:25:57Neil stay on his block and what Cory Dillon has and most backs don't have in this league is the strength and power to run
00:26:03Inside but the speed to break it back outside. He's such a unique back second round pick out of Washington
00:26:10today a hundred and
00:26:1233 yards rushing against a bill Belichick lead defense
00:26:18He'll do that most weekends to resist that kind of runner first at 10 from the 37
00:26:34Well, I don't want to keep working on but you watch the Patriots they get their hands on their hips when I see teams with
00:26:39Their hands on their hips or hands down around their knees. I
00:26:43As a group, you know that you've got fatigue out there on the football field. They've been on the field a lot today
00:26:48They haven't gotten a lot of help from their offense, especially here in the second half of play second and three from the 30
00:26:54Brandon Bennett now
00:26:57Remember this game was tied at 10 at halftime
00:27:01Cincinnati up by six now and driving once again
00:27:0633 seconds remaining in the third quarter of play
00:27:10And you know what Gus I think that the coach Lebeau notices the fact that New England's got their hands on their hips
00:27:15He's talking to John kitten and trying to get him in and out of the huddle
00:27:17They aren't taking the full time to get up there
00:27:20They're getting up there with a lot of seconds left on the clock snapping it and they're bringing it right down these guys throat
00:27:27First at 10 from a 25
00:27:40You
00:27:55John Gitler told us
00:27:57On Friday that he wanted to start using his tight end
00:28:02And Brett Jones that made you smile very happy Marco
00:28:05Tony McGee to very underutilized receiving tight ends guys that can make an impact guys that can hurt you
00:28:14Rackers in for the extra point
00:28:16It's up
00:28:19And good
00:28:22Tony McGee
00:28:23ninth year out of Michigan
00:28:25Had one touchdown last year and you're gonna watch Tony McGee just run that seam route right here
00:28:30Brian Cox has him too deep. You see Brian get lateral. He has Tony McGee deep
00:28:36He's got to know that he's got him down the seam
00:28:38You see McGee get up and get that ball tough catch when you're all by yourself
00:28:44They try to get into the stands but this stadium is a new one and they figured it out
00:28:48They made the wall about two and a half feet higher. You can't jump up there like you do it Lambeau
00:28:54Tony McGee gives the Bengals a 2310 lead. They've scored on their last
00:29:00five
00:29:01Possessions and in past years the Bengals have really struggled in September
00:29:06And you know and part of that has been their offense their defense has gotten tired on the field
00:29:11Offense not getting any points and this is a new day for the Cincinnati Bengals and I just got a credit John Kidna
00:29:18He's done a great job of spreading the ball around they come back to Corey doing using all his receivers
00:29:24That's what you need to do. Keep your defense fresh. You've got some young fresh legs guys that can make some things happen
00:29:30And it's been a long time Gus since we've heard this stadium this loud
00:29:35Dick Lebow John Kidna
00:29:38Trying to make believers out of the fans here in Cincinnati Lebow
00:29:43Celebrating his 64th birthday today
00:29:49What better present could his team give him and Rackers almost gets this one out of the end zone
00:30:00A
00:30:03Serious buzz going around the stadium right now. That's the end of the third quarter with the score
00:30:08Cincinnati 23 New England 10 will return to Paul Brown Stadium right after this word from your local station
00:30:23John Kidna through his first touchdown of the season at Tony McGee and the Bengals have scored on their last
00:30:29Five possessions up 23 10, so let's see if Drew Bledsoe and the Patriots can answer they start from their own
00:30:3725
00:30:38Let's go play action looking
00:30:41incomplete
00:30:43Smith the intended receiver
00:30:46And welcome back Gus Johnson along with Brent Jones Sam Weiss and coach Weiss will start with you
00:30:51Are you surprised with the way this Bengals team is playing right now?
00:30:54Well, I'm not surprised after the way they talked to us yesterday, but dick Lebow has a little phrase focus and finish
00:31:00Well, here's the finish of a ballgame. They've got to now polish them off because this one's not over yet
00:31:04She's you're the Bengals new greatest fan
00:31:07Almost like you coached here. Hey, I still owe people money in this town. I've got to be good
00:31:13Brings up second down in ten
00:31:17Here's that watchman running the football gets over the 20 up to about the
00:31:2323
00:31:25With the tackle
00:31:29That's one Smith a thousand-yard rusher for the Buffalo Bills back in 1998
00:31:38And now the time that drew blood so has to rely on that veteran group of receivers that he has to make a play those
00:31:43Guys got to get open the Bengals know they're gonna throw the ball
00:31:46These guys need to make a move a little head and shoulder fake get open give drew a chance to
00:31:51Have a spot to work that ball in
00:31:53They're down at six from the 24. They need to go to the 30 empty backfield
00:31:58They are Redmond out of the backfield. Let's go to the sideline
00:32:05Man-to-man coverage and that time Brian Simmons lines up on the end of the line of scrimmage
00:32:10And he forces blood so to throw quick. He didn't have any time
00:32:13He did have pick up was pretty good and you know with all the receivers available to you
00:32:17I don't know if JR Edmonds the guy that I'm looking for in that situation. Oh, you're right there, too
00:32:21it's so ironic the
00:32:24Patriots were three and one during the preseason the Bengals were one in three. I guess preseason football doesn't mean a whole lot
00:32:32Well, it means a lot if you're coming off a bad year. That's right
00:32:36Both teams go bad years is Lee Johnson. It's a bomb all the way down
00:32:43and it gets into the end zone Wow a
00:32:47a
00:32:4976-yard run
00:33:03Lee Johnson delivered is the longest kick of his career 76 yards
00:33:09What the Bengals have it at their own 20 years getting the throwing underneath
00:33:14Cory Dylan with the one-hand
00:33:19They are doing everything right today
00:33:2214-yard gain and here's Cincinnati's version of the triplets. Well Peter Warwick
00:33:28Last year had to play without Darnay Scott. That's helped both of them this guy right here. Let's just face it
00:33:33He's one of the best running backs in the NFL
00:33:36It
00:33:39Seems like everything's going right for Cincinnati John kidnapped through that ball into a crowd and
00:33:43Outbroke Cory Dillon and getting him involved in the passing games gonna be very instrumental this year
00:33:48Hit to put up good numbers here. Dylan tripped up in the backfield
00:33:52And take it down first man to him is Willie McGinnis number 55
00:33:58injured player on the field
00:34:00Mike Grable the free agent shiny from Pittsburgh
00:34:06And he's holding his left knee
00:34:09Boy Dylan slow getting up as well
00:34:13Willie McGinnis hadn't played a lot tonight because he just didn't feel like he was in
00:34:17Condition to do it didn't play a lot during the preseason, but he is a real factor when he's ready to go
00:34:24Mike Grable in a lot of pain local product later at Ohio State from Ohio
00:34:31See Willie McGinnis the one that actually throws everything out of whack
00:34:35and Teddy Bruschi comes in there and finishes him off, but
00:34:41They're not looking at Cory Dillon anymore, but
00:34:44Mike Grable, they just can't afford any more injuries on the backs on their defensive side of the ball for New England. They've had a ball
00:34:53Grable born in Akron, Ohio
00:34:55Born in Akron, Ohio
00:34:58Still being looked at on the field 1316 to go in the fourth back in a moment
00:35:06The NFL on CBS is sponsored by Holiday Inn who gives you more and more is better
00:35:15Direct TV the number one digital satellite entertainment provider and by CDW
00:35:22computing solutions built for business
00:35:26You
00:35:29Welcome back, this is moments ago Mike Grable being carted off the field
00:35:36Injured
00:35:39Second down
00:35:45Chopped down at the 35 Otis Smith
00:35:49Great look at play after a game of seven
00:35:52Willie McGinnis had all that pressure on the previous place that went right back at him
00:35:56Let him come free and throw it over his head
00:35:58Yeah, that's tough when you don't get a lot of snaps in the preseason
00:36:00You're always sucking some win that first game, you know
00:36:02Willie McGinnis is the difference maker as far as rushing the passer and we talked about Richard Seymour their first round pick
00:36:08He's a difference maker versus the run and lawyer Malloy a difference maker in the secondary out with an injury
00:36:13This is some of the Bengals need to do more of screen passes and a great tackle to Smith
00:36:17They can Cory Dillon's knees right out from under him
00:36:20Third down nine from the 35. They need to go to the 44. Here comes the blitz
00:36:25They handed off to Bennett Bennett with running room with the first down
00:36:32By Bob Bratowski the Cincinnati offensive coordinator a gate of 21 yards
00:36:40And as great as Bennett was watch the right tackle big Willie Anderson right here bang on Brian Cox bang right on your back
00:36:48There's nobody around Bennett's getting up big huge hole
00:36:53And look at John Kay. You think he's fired up about it? Well, he was looking from the back
00:36:57He could see the vision that the running back Bennett had that time. He was really
00:37:02Stacked up and then here's the coordinator as
00:37:05Bob Bratowski's new this year with Cincinnati Bengals
00:37:09From Seattle, here's the handoff
00:37:14Slicing through the New England defense to the 35
00:37:18And we talked to Dick Lebow on
00:37:22Friday and he told me that he told all of us that he had to go to one of their former coaches
00:37:27When it was time to hire a new offensive coordinator. Yeah, I was wondering I was wondering which coach you would be going to well
00:37:34He was calling to see you know, how I was doing he wasn't didn't ask me any questions about that
00:37:39they go bones how to make the right choices there and he was the defensive coordinator when I was here and I
00:37:46Can tell you firsthand. He's a terrific coach
00:37:53Let's talk about this Cincinnati offensive line with the addition of Richmond Webb Willie Anderson already
00:38:00Very good and right tackle they're getting a lot of push Brent on that offensive line for these backs Bennett Dylan
00:38:07Yeah, and this this offensive line has a lot of confidence running the ball
00:38:10They figured that's their game
00:38:11But if they could improve in the pass blocking area
00:38:14They could really take this offense to a new level when they got Richmond Webb this offseason
00:38:19We talked to Richmond. He said I came in here
00:38:21I figured they had some young talent and he is kind of the veteran leader of this team a lot of guys got playoff
00:38:26experience
00:38:27Really making some things happen out there
00:38:33Lorenzo Neal at both hands on the football unable to hold on
00:38:37Follow all the games on NFL calm and after the games get in-depth analysis and recaps from the experts only at
00:38:45NFL.com or AOL keyword NFL calm
00:38:50brings up third down and 10 from the 34
00:38:53Key position on the field now at the 34-yard line. You don't want to lose anything
00:38:57They're up by 13 points a field goal puts them up more than two scores
00:39:02So this is don't lose any yardage gain as much as you can if you can't get a first down for the field
00:39:07Cincinnati balanced on offense 27 rushes 25 passes
00:39:13I need to go to the 24. They flip it out
00:39:17And
00:39:18Nowhere to go tackled at the 35-yard line tied law
00:39:22Making the tackle on Peter Warwick and for the first time in a long time. I don't know if he's kicked today here comes
00:39:31The
00:39:32Rookie putter Nick Harris. I think he has one point. Yes. He has one punt on the afternoon. Well, this will be a pooch kick
00:39:41Now Daniel Polk has been with the Bengals for several years
00:39:47At the University of California
00:39:50Paris
00:39:51Was known for being able to pin opponents inside their own 20-yard line
00:39:56See if you can do it here
00:40:01And he does it again
00:40:05Ball dead is at the six
00:40:08Well done by the rookie
00:40:1723 to 10 Cincinnati, New England with their worst starting field position of the day at the road six
00:40:26Let's go
00:40:31And look at the total yardage by half
00:40:35New England 162 in the first half 13 in the second half
00:40:39And you just don't see that with a Bill Belichick coach team
00:40:42And I'm sure he's very disappointed this New England defense has looked tired to me and like you said
00:40:47We mentioned a few of the the stars that are out of the lineup right now, but still
00:40:51They should they have enough guys to be able to play a little bit better than they've been playing
00:40:56Let's go under pressure today
00:41:02They are Redmond in the backfield
00:41:06Hand off the Redmond
00:41:08Goes forward gets the ball
00:41:10Vaughn Booker with the tackle New England four straight three and outs
00:41:17What you're seeing with New England is they're having to throw quick passes so they can't get the ball down the field
00:41:22And they're of course the last run was an audible
00:41:24They're still calling the ball, but lots of blitzes coming from the Bengals third and seven from the nine
00:41:28Let's go under pressure underneath Cox Roy Brown
00:41:33Somehow out of bounds. He's got the ball
00:41:35Under pressure underneath Cox Roy Brown somehow able to come up with the catch in front of Chris Carter
00:41:43A gain of 19 yards making a gain of 10 yards two minute off
00:41:47There's no huddle now and i'm surprised coach more teams don't do this in fourth quarters when they're down
00:41:52There are eight minutes left in the game. They need two touchdowns to get back on top
00:41:56They've got a long way to go and not a whole lot of time do the two-minute drill
00:42:00Let's go steps up in the pocket
00:42:02fires
00:42:04Caught by brown
00:42:05Troy brown gets to midfield
00:42:09And brown
00:42:11Is taken down inside cincinnati territory by artrell hawkins
00:42:17It's a game of inches isn't it brent and you watch this coach you're talking inches watch drew bledsoe here
00:42:22He comes out of the pocket nice job getting the defensive end right around right before it right after he throws it and he gets whacked
00:42:29One more inch or two another second. That was gonna be a fumble
00:42:32Let's go
00:42:34Let's go to throw once again
00:42:36underneath
00:42:37And it's caught this time by his big tight end jermaine wiggins who keeps his feet going gets another first down
00:42:45A gain of 12
00:42:47We talked about new england's defense getting a little fatigued. You can see it on the defensive side of the uh,
00:42:52The bagels defense is usually tired before the offense because they don't know where the ball's going
00:42:57If you're going away that offense can take a little bit of a breather on the back side
00:43:00A lot of time remaining in this game 7 20. Here's the handoff to redmond breaks it back keeps going redmond
00:43:08struggles forward in the 30-yard line
00:43:11And now it looks as if the patriots have decided to use the pass to set up the run as opposed to early on
00:43:17Where they use the run to set up the pass and with this two-minute offense
00:43:21There's no pass rush coming like it was before they're they're tired
00:43:26Second down and two from the 30. Let's go again
00:43:30Lives it up the field incomplete. He expected redmond to break down the sideline and redmond broke out of bounds
00:43:38You know, we talk about being tired everybody you can run a 40-yard dash and you'll be winded when you get through
00:43:43Being in condition to me is your recovery time
00:43:46How fast do you recover between plays and if you don't have any time between plays you wear down?
00:43:53third down two
00:43:54from the 30
00:43:566 48 to play
00:43:59In regulation
00:44:05Drew blitzo underneath bernie manuel dropped the football
00:44:13That'll kill you you cannot do that on third down with the ball right in your gut
00:44:18Well, they got to go for it. There won't be any field goal
00:44:20And I don't know if bernie manuel is looking to run and get some yards after the catch
00:44:24That's one of those babies that you just got to cradle and I don't care if you stop right there
00:44:28Yeah, he had the first down the catch fourth down and two
00:44:34They're on their feet here in the jungle
00:44:38Blitzo over the middle. Troy brown won't drop it first down inside the 20
00:44:45A gain of 12
00:44:48Almost count on him going to troy brown there and he's that's why his name is. Mr
00:44:51Clutch is running a slant. You see him set the defensive button back up outside
00:44:55Nice job of getting him off his spot. Come back underneath coach. That's a lot of guts not huddling up on fourth down
00:45:03First down from the cincinnati 19 round 5 catches 85 yards
00:45:10Let's go pumping gets rid of it patrick passed
00:45:14With the grab lowers his head and gets inside the 10 to above the 8-yard line
00:45:20Daryl williams with the tackle after gain of 11
00:45:23Looks like takeo spikes is hurt
00:45:26That's part of what's called the west coast offense, you know
00:45:29Throwing the ball to your backs late out of the backfield. Every team has it. This is the west coast offense
00:45:34It's just the nfl offense
00:45:36And you watch patrick pass just coming out of their check down route when all the receivers are covered and he's going to have a good
00:45:41Collision here. You see takeo spikes come in and kind of gets the leg whipped
00:45:45Might have been the spikes on the patrick passes cleats that got him
00:45:516-2 at 245. I'll tell you what we're talking to him yesterday
00:45:55It's all muscle and gristle. There's no body fat on that man
00:46:01Tough competitor, you know, he told us that uh, brian
00:46:04Simmons could probably run a 4.5 40 and he could also do that
00:46:08There probably are two 18 that has two linebackers that can run four or five 40-yard dashes in the league
00:46:15And takeo spikes is playing this season with a heavy heart his father
00:46:20Is very sick. He has a brain tumor had surgery in february
00:46:25He's usually at every game
00:46:27but uh
00:46:28Right now his father unable to talk or walk
00:46:32He tapes his dad's name to his wrist writes his name dad's name on his wrist
00:46:38and his last words
00:46:39to takeo before he
00:46:42Went back was hey go out there and do it
00:46:50Right now he's on the field shaking up
00:46:55You know when you're when you're down like that there's no way to speculate what it is part of it is
00:47:01You're exhausted. So you're more vulnerable to an injury
00:47:04So
00:47:07Pio spikes his father jimmy spikes
00:47:17Well, we wish him the best this is
00:47:21Spikes is up
00:47:23You better believe he'll be back
00:47:26Hey
00:47:29Saying a little word to his team before he leaves the field
00:47:33Mainly saying hey
00:47:35It's first down. Make sure you're standing right here when it's second down because i'll be back
00:47:40And takeo might have stayed down just a little bit longer just to give the rest of his teammates a break
00:47:44you know when you're injured and you got that time stop and
00:47:47Give everybody a chance to catch their breath and I thought they only did that in baseball
00:47:51And they sent the pitching coach out to talk. It's a veteran move coach
00:47:55You know that thing
00:47:56And so these guys got a little bit of a breather
00:47:59and I really like the way the patriots came back and
00:48:02Did the hurry up offense to cincinnati and moved it right down the field
00:48:0511th play of the drive for the pats that started at the road six yard line first down goal from the cincinnati
00:48:12eight
00:48:15Empty backfield redmond in motion
00:48:20Looking underneath
00:48:23Wiggins towards the end zone touchdown
00:48:30Some hard running by jermaine wiggins after the catch
00:48:37Man-to-man coverage get down here tight. You see more man-to-man than normal
00:48:43And how many years did we see big ben coach catch that ball and just bounce into the end zone and I thought wiggins was
00:48:47going to be stopped and he just kept those legs churning spinning moving and
00:48:51That's a heck of an effort by the young tight end almost right at the end
00:48:54But once you cross that inside you do anything you want with the ball just break the plane
00:49:02So adam venturi
00:49:04Comes on the field and I think coach lebeau wants to challenge the touchdown
00:49:12The red flag is on the field the flag the coach keeps in his pocket when the
00:49:17The
00:49:19Beeper that he has on his hip doesn't work
00:49:22This will be the first one for this officiated crew in the nfl to have a review
00:49:31I'm sure what he's checking or what he's appealed is did he cross the plane before he fumbled?
00:49:38See him right dead in the middle
00:49:41Good read by both quarterback and receiver
00:49:45Certainly can't tell there brent whether he's it's got to be. Uh
00:49:49Is it indisputable or undisputable? Do you have any idea? I always say indisputable. Yeah. Well, I have no idea
00:49:54So whatever you say, yeah to overturn the call on the field and they did call touchdown
00:50:02Here's another look they'll be looking at the same views we are and if they can't tell
00:50:08By the way
00:50:09Now the ball has to cross the plane his whole body can go across as long as that ball hadn't crossed
00:50:13There's no touchdown and he saw him holding it low. He was getting tackled up top and the ball was down low
00:50:20And his shoulders were definitely over but did that ball make it over in time?
00:50:24Yeah before he was down. No don't even count the fumble if he's down and the ball hasn't crossed
00:50:29Dick lebeau was willing to wager one time out to find out
00:50:33Officials in there are seeing the replays they listen to the upstairs. By the way, the upstairs review people are nfl guys
00:50:42And this is the real first pressure call of the day on these replacement officials and they
00:50:47Definitely want to get it right, but they've been for the most part right on top of things today and
00:50:53Done a pretty good job they have
00:51:03So
00:51:05Anxious time for dick lebeau and bill billichick
00:51:10Games, you know with five and a half minutes to go the game can swing on a call like this
00:51:15You see the camera angle right there getting blocked
00:51:18Wiggin going forward you see him carrying the ball low and it's starting to come out right there
00:51:22But as he across that line
00:51:26Like I said wiggins is carrying it low and there's the ball coming out right at that point
00:51:30Boy it was awful close
00:51:34Close usually goes with a call on the field. Oh, there you go indisputable
00:51:38I think you said it was and the goal on the field is touchdown new england
00:51:47Huge decision coming up for these replacement officials
00:51:54Well, if it's not a touchdown it'll be second and goal with the one inch line
00:51:58So there's still a chance for the patriots to get in the ends on the next play after the review
00:52:06There's no visually indisputable evidence that the place should be changed the ruling stands on the field touchdown
00:52:15Correct call and I love the way he used indisputable. He must have been listening to the booth
00:52:20Ha ha ha ha
00:52:22Well, you know, they asked the officials to be more descriptive to tell what's going on
00:52:26Of course of the replacement, uh guys in here. They haven't done that before
00:52:30and I know brent you've never done it, so
00:52:33There's no one to help out here, I thought it was pretty good call adam vinatieri into attempt the extra point
00:52:43And it's good 11 play drive that started at the six covering 94 yards
00:52:49And the patriots are within six

00:53:16New england trying to claw their way back into this game. Here's keaton. He feels it at the one
00:53:25Keaton

00:53:27Returning it up to the 28 yard line a return of 27 yards

00:53:46Go to cbs.sportsline.com
00:53:49or aol keyword cbs sportsline
00:53:56Well, probably the greatest thing about that drive was it allowed the new england defense to rest because those guys were really dragging fellas
00:54:02So let's see bangles with the lead. Will they tighten up?
00:54:06Cory dillon over the right side dillon pushed out of bounds at the 30
00:54:13And so far guys, what do you think? How have the officials done the replacement officials?
00:54:17I think they've done a pretty good job so far. They've done an excellent job. You know, it's a fast game. It's a
00:54:23Tough one to call a lot of judgments. I didn't I think just right
00:54:27the one thing I just
00:54:29Want to comment on that last play though is cory dillon
00:54:31Don't run out of bounds if you're dick laboe you're saying keep that clock running with a little less than five minutes to go
00:54:37now the clock would restart
00:54:40Because it was just outside the five minutes
00:54:42But from now on it'll stop the clock empty backfield neal lines up the fullback at the top of your screen dillon at the bottom
00:54:49Underneath it's caught by peter warwick
00:54:52And warwick some marines
00:54:55Close to the first down
00:54:57the ball is spotted at the
00:54:5937
00:55:01Should bring up
00:55:03third down and about
00:55:04two and a half
00:55:06And for the most part today this new england patriots defensive line hasn't been able to get pressure on john kitna
00:55:11And you see what he's done when you've given him time
00:55:14They've got to find a way whether it's through stunts or splits to get some pressure get somebody in his face third down two
00:55:22Double tight ends the taglia goes in motion play action kitna looking bat it down
00:55:29Bat it down by bobby hamilton and the patriots will get another crack at it
00:55:34Now gus when you're the cincinnati bangles and it's third and two and you have cory dillon
00:55:38Why throw the ball the dangerous call is to throw the ball because announcers like us are going to second guess you because you go with
00:55:45Your strength in that situation. They haven't been able to stop him all day. They try play action
00:55:49The ball gets batted down
00:55:51And everybody says hey, why didn't they give cory the ball for two yards and there's bill bilicek
00:55:55And we talked about the type of player he's brought in and you see them rebound you see them face adversity
00:56:01They had that big drive and now they're three and out and they're back in the mix nick harris from the 23
00:56:06Troy brown back deep wobbly kick brown with the fair catch signal at the 30-yard line
00:56:13Drew bledsoe has 70 yards in front of him for a touchdown and here he comes
00:56:19Tonight on cbs, if you or anyone, you know missed any part of the amazing race
00:56:24Here's your chance to see it tonight after 60 minutes and catch an all-new episode on wednesday at nine
00:56:31Eight central the amazing race tonight after 60 minutes on cbs
00:56:36Here's the key things to remember right now
00:56:38They have three timeouts left new england does but they have to score a touchdown field goals don't count coach
00:56:43I stick with the hurry up offense. It worked great for me. Oh, yeah
00:56:45Coach I stick with the hurry up offense. It worked great for me. So the bangles get tired
00:56:49You don't go back to huddling up after that. Do you absolutely not?
00:56:53Here comes the blitz bledsoe underneath troy brown gets to the 40. Let's see if they use it
00:57:01That's right. They are
00:57:03That's the danger of the zone glitch. You were one short in the short zone of the underneath that 8 to 10 yard area
00:57:10one short of coverage people
00:57:13Game nine on the last place second and one
00:57:18Patriots with three timeouts bledsoe to the sideline david patten bobbled it keeps his hands on it out of bounds at the 49
00:57:26gain of 12
00:57:29Bledsoe always so calm and collected when the game is on the line
00:57:37There's no rush here it's more important to get it right than it is to save two or three seconds
00:57:43First down and 10. Here's drew pumping
00:57:47Looks the other way for bird emmanuel incomplete
00:57:51Trying to threaten the needle and throw it between two defenders tom carter and chris carter
00:57:57I'll tell you brenda's a co as a quarterback coach
00:57:59I used to tell the quarterback never ever throw the ball right down the field in the middle
00:58:05Because there's too many people you can't account for yeah
00:58:07And you know, of course he was looking front side and came back and just threw it up there
00:58:10And he's lucky that ball didn't hang another second year because that would have been intercepted
00:58:14second down 10
00:58:16from the 49
00:58:17bledsoe again
00:58:20Underneath jr. Redmond
00:58:22Cuts it back gets to the 40 close to a first down
00:58:26Needed to get to the 39 for first it'll be spotted at the 40 and a half yard line
00:58:31And that's not going to be a play that shows up in the statistics
00:58:34But jr. Redmond put that little herkin jerk move right there got an extra four yards
00:58:38Third and two and third and six are a huge difference at this point in the game gus injured player on the field
00:58:44for the bangles
00:58:49I can't see who it is
00:58:50But while we're waiting to see it the one thing that
00:58:53Drew bledsoe did on that last play that he didn't do on the previous play is he let his eyes fall short
00:58:59Everybody was covered down the field. So he let his eyes drawn
00:59:01He laid the ball off to jr. Redmond. Let him make the run afterwards and you've got no risk of an interception that point
00:59:07Drew bledsoe is one of the elite quarterbacks in the national football league
00:59:10He's going to do most things right but when you get in a desperate situation like this
00:59:14You get three minutes to go trying to score
00:59:17Sometimes you force them in there. So sam you were one of the creators of the hurry up. No huddle offense
00:59:22I was the I was the eye on the patent. What are you talking about?
00:59:25Marv levy may have an argument with you
00:59:28However, how do you defend it? How do you stop it? How do you slow it down? Well, let's see marv
00:59:33Levy used to feign injuries as
00:59:35well
00:59:36Fake an injury and here we have one here
00:59:39I don't know if this is a thing one or not, but
00:59:41Uh, you know one of the ways teams did slow us down
00:59:44We had a very good offensive unit is that they would have on third down. They'd shoot somebody
00:59:49They just got there with their finger. They'd shoot them and that guy would then go down
00:59:52Trainers would come out
00:59:54Substitutions would go in they'd come off the field. We in the playoff game with seattle in 1988. They did that and
01:00:00Uh, the buffalo bills threatened to do it in the next week, but did not
01:00:04Tony williams the injured player and a great sign of sportsmanship as drew bledsoe goes over and helps him up
01:00:11williams
01:00:12Playing with a broken finger
01:00:15On his right hand goes out of the lineup
01:00:18Slammed his finger in a door at his house
01:00:21You know, we'd be remiss not to point out that the doing the pages could have thrown in the towel here about 10 minutes ago
01:00:28And they have fought back hard. They're playing like they were in the first half right now
01:00:33Character guys coach. That's the difference. Yeah, that's where the veterans come in. They didn't have that last year 32 from the 41 obviously
01:00:41four down territory for the pass
01:00:44bledsoe
01:00:46Can't take a sack underneath throws it behind his intended receiver
01:00:51Patton and that'll bring up fourth down in two
01:00:55Those are awful deep routes to run on third and two
01:00:57I thought they might have had a little crossing underneath going or maybe a little pick play coming out to the side
01:01:02They ran some deeper routes coach. Well that time they decided to keep two guys in the block, too
01:01:11So that brings up fourth down and two from the 41
01:01:14You got to look for troy brown in this situation. Mr. Klatsch
01:01:18And bledsoe goes forward
01:01:21This is simply a left right if the left foot marks it. It's a first down the right one probably didn't make it
01:01:28I think he got it and that's a gutsy call. It wasn't fourth and one that was fourth and two
01:01:33And since today they're saying he didn't get it. Well, it depends on where they mark it. I thought he actually had it but
01:01:40They're bringing that ball back and it might be three or four inches short
01:01:43If I look across the far marker on the far side of the field where we are
01:01:47And like I said two yards to go that's an awful gutsy call
01:01:51Oh, wow, this is going to be close
01:01:54well one
01:01:56One thing I do if i'm bill belichick. I challenge the spot right now. No ifs ands or buts
01:02:01Well, I don't think you could challenge it. There's just going to be a pile up there
01:02:05Oh, that's close. He got it
01:02:08They still haven't decided they're still trying to figure out if that's it or not
01:02:12Oh
01:02:15The officials say that cincinnati held him
01:02:21And bill belichick is pushing the button on his hip
01:02:26He's certainly going to challenge his spot
01:02:30Let's see where that ball is let's see where drew bledsoe ends up it's right there. There's a pile of players
01:02:36But that certainly looks you look at his body. It certainly looks a further
01:02:42Than the yard and a half that he had to go
01:02:44Well, you can't appeal now because it's not you're not going to be able to find the ball in that pile in the replay either
01:02:50Well, that is true now three timeouts pile up there patriots will call timeout after every play at this point
01:02:56They got a two-minute warning as well
01:02:59So they play on here's corey dillon dillon tackled from behind
01:03:05Bearing down on him roman pfeiffer
01:03:08number 95
01:03:10but the clock
01:03:12Is stop timeout called by the pats coach. Would you run a quarterback sneak fourth and two?
01:03:18Well
01:03:19The defensive tackles for the bingles were lined up on the outside edge of the guard
01:03:24So there was a hole there and all they had to do was give him just enough room to take a couple of steps
01:03:28The problem is when your center snaps the ball if he gets bumped left or right at all
01:03:33You're out of running room and that's what happened now
01:03:34It could have been a situation where the coach didn't call it drew bledsoe might have had it and just goosed the center
01:03:39He might have just taken the shot. What do you think? You think it was a drew bledsoe move?
01:03:43well
01:03:45Who knows? I really don't know but I know that the tackles are wide and a veteran player like bledsoe
01:03:50Very easily could have run the goose play and here it is again
01:03:53Well, take a look
01:03:54Damien woody one of the best centers in the league if you're going to follow somebody you want to follow him
01:03:58And there's drew right on him and you see his legs churning. He's got that ball up. He's not carrying it low
01:04:04You see the ball right there
01:04:06Trying to get the mark
01:04:08Very close. That's one of those that uh, like I said left foot right foot depends on which foot lands to final mark
01:04:14The defense has to get the ball. Once again, cory dillon over the left side
01:04:18and dylan wrapped up goes down at the
01:04:2336
01:04:24215 to go another timeout called by the patriots. They have one remaining
01:04:30Now if I was the patriots i'd let after this play i'd let the clock run on down to two minutes
01:04:36And then save one timeout for your offense
01:04:39Of course they got to stop the bingles first don't forget coming up next the u.s. Open men's championship
01:04:45layton hewitt
01:04:46Versus pete sampras right here on cbs
01:04:53There are 22 guys out there that couldn't be happier that somebody said timeout, mr. Ref
01:04:59It is a hot humid day. They fought through it hard. They're both fighting right down to the wire
01:05:04You start to get that rubber leg feeling in the front you remember those when you start to burn a little bit
01:05:10I remember coach and you'd mentioned sometimes that's when the injuries happen. We've seen a few of those and
01:05:15you've seen some big plays giving up because of
01:05:18those rubber legs being tired on the defensive side of the ball and
01:05:27You're always happy for any type of timeout tv or otherwise
01:05:30And now cincinnati decides to call a timeout
01:05:34As john kitna walks to the sideline
01:05:37My guess is there's some disagreement as to what the call should be. It's third down in about 13 or 14 yards
01:05:41I would not throw the football don't stop the clock going
01:05:45You've got a change of possession that stops the clock and then you have the two minute warning that would stop the clock
01:05:50So you're really playing into doing those hands thing to do is to run the ball right here
01:05:55Hopefully get the first down if you're a bingo fan, and if you don't
01:05:59Let it run down to two minutes. You know, you sound like a defensive head coach
01:06:02It should have been you don't want to go for the first one very good as an offensive head coach
01:06:06You don't want to go for the first down and and seal the seal their fate coach
01:06:10It's you're not worried about first downs as much as you are stopping that clock. You're going to give them three clocks
01:06:17Stoppages if you in throw an incomplete pass. Yeah, but if you get the first down the game's going to be over
01:06:22You got to have some confidence in your offense, right? I've got more confidence in that defense. Okay, there you go
01:06:26I'm, just asking you see I always thought hey, I don't want our defense on the field at the end of the game
01:06:30I want to win. Let's see third down and 14 from the 36th
01:06:37They hand it off to cory dillon and dillon is wrapped up taken down at the 33 by brian cox
01:06:43And the clock will run down to two minutes
01:06:47and stop
01:06:48The fans don't like it, but this gives you a chance
01:06:52Now to stop them before the end of the ball game
01:06:55two minutes to go
01:06:57Bengals ready to punt it away
01:07:01Oh
01:07:05And welcome back to paul brown stadium
01:07:09And the new england patriots will take over at their own 30-yard line
01:07:14One mistake the officials made today. They didn't wait for us to
01:07:18Come back from commercial. What are they instead of an a plus they will receive an a
01:07:24Blaming that on the officials. It is the official problem. I thought that was you getting a snack
01:07:28Oh, yeah, right gus johnson brett jones sam weiss patriots have the football at the 31 yard line brent
01:07:35You play for the 49ers hurry up time. What goes on here?
01:07:38Well, I think you maybe take a couple cracks troy brown underneath and then how about a little david patton up top?
01:07:43I think this bengal defense is tired. Let david patton lose down the field first down attempt from the 31 drew blitzo
01:07:50Looking to the sideline partially deflected and complete
01:07:58Patriots have one timeout left
01:08:00That one's going to be saved so that they can throw something deep down the middle
01:08:05Call timeout and not waste 25 or 30 seconds reassembling
01:08:09And they're sticking with that on the line style of offense. They didn't huddle up. They could have after the incomplete pass
01:08:14Just wears the defensive line down
01:08:20Somehow made the catch however, they're gonna call blitzo in the grass
01:08:26The fourth sack of the day
01:08:32Matt light is hurt on the field as well. So that'll stop the
01:08:36And I thought drew blitzo got rid of this and you wonder is this something that's called in college tequila spikes
01:08:42There's spikes and that that clearly was a complete pass
01:08:47The rule if it's one-on-one like that and the quarterback still has the ability to throw the ball
01:08:51He is not down if there's two of you coming where you're more vulnerable. They will call it early
01:08:55It wasn't even close coach. That was not even close
01:08:58We see that all the time every week and the referee maybe just blew the whistle a little early
01:09:02But that's a huge call you see spikes just getting his he's still a step or two from driving blitzo down
01:09:10Matt light
01:09:12Is the injured patriot
01:09:15second round pick
01:09:1748th overall out of purdue was scheduled to start at left tackle today
01:09:22But bill belichick decided at game time to start grant williams
01:09:28Since this was the rookie's first
01:09:30professional game
01:09:33And a lot of injuries happen this way joe andrews. He the right guard of the new england patriots actually rolls up on that
01:09:39Light the left tackle
01:09:40Push to the right of the screen right over here
01:09:45Right there watch he's going to get rolled up on right there comes underneath and catches his leg
01:09:50And you just don't expect that when you're out on an island blocking the guy nobody's even close to you
01:09:56most offensive linemen now wear
01:09:58Braces on their knees that helps them from getting when they do get hits like that. They're not as extreme
01:10:04Practice in them play at them
01:10:06I've actually clocked guys in the 40-yard dash. It does not slow it down, but the patriots right now
01:10:12in a hole
01:10:13Third down 17 from the 24
01:10:16They need to go to the 41 for first down when that early whistle killed them
01:10:20they'd have the ball up 10 yards further and
01:10:23Wouldn't be facing this brutal situation
01:10:30Valenzo to pass sets up delivers it is
01:10:37Caught bern emmanuel
01:10:41At the 38-yard line
01:10:43Block still running 15-yard gain
01:10:46Brings up fourth down and two and now the patriots are calling a play at the line of scrimmage
01:10:51It's fourth down your whole game is right here
01:10:54Well, they lost the time out when when light was hurt
01:10:57They had inside two minutes. They lost their time out. So there's no time outs left for the patrons
01:11:05Yeah, and no coach that's a great point about losing the time out
01:11:08I still think you got enough time to huddle those guys up
01:11:10It's too much of an important call to be at the line of scrimmage have a chance for miscommunication
01:11:15Get the guys in the huddle
01:11:17Get up there
01:11:20Much bern emmanuel now as he comes back on a clutch clutch down
01:11:26Comes back to find the football, you're not worried about running after the catch. You just want to make sure you get it
01:11:32And the pate the bingles are disputing whether that was a completion or not
01:11:37And we'll be reviewed dick lebow's second appeal today both in the fourth quarter
01:11:44Oh, you know what
01:11:46I just blew that the league will automatically review anything from upstairs
01:11:51Dicklebow does not have to appeal inside two minutes of the game
01:11:54And that's actually a big advantage for the patriots if indeed he did catch that ball
01:11:58It gives them time to rest the time to huddle up time to divide the strategy
01:12:04And let's see if that ball
01:12:07I mean, it's tough. He's got his shadow going forward and he does a good job of rolling his shoulder coach and
01:12:12That comes up clean with it. That's good. And that's the key and it's then you're taught, you know
01:12:16That low ball roll the shoulder so even if you are trapping it
01:12:20Nobody can see that you're trapping it and you come up clean and it looks like a catch ruled as a catch on the field
01:12:27indisputable evidence
01:12:30Must be the case
01:12:32Well, they're going to go for it on fourth down regardless if it's
01:12:36At the present mark or back where they were at the line of scrimmage before the throw
01:12:41And I didn't see an angle that would cause them to overrule what was called on the field right there. Not what we've seen
01:12:47you know the
01:12:48Thing about instant replay. It's a failsafe
01:12:51if something
01:12:52major
01:12:53Is incorrectly observed you change it, but if it's a close call you go with what those officials do they do a good job
01:12:59They're right there with their replacement officials or regular nfl officials
01:13:05I've just often wondered exactly what they're looking at in there if there's not, you know, like a preview of tonight's, uh
01:13:13Shows on cbs. I just think that's it. That's part of the reason they're looking make sure they know what time everything starts
01:13:20Well coach if indeed it is a catch what do you call here on fourth and two
01:13:23I know you don't do a quarterback sneak
01:13:25Not a quarterback sneak, but I wouldn't rule out a run
01:13:30For the minute 18 you got to get right back up and ground the ball if you run the football
01:13:34See if it hits the ground. Let's go back one more time
01:13:38Yes, you know, it sure did look like it bounced there. I saw it. I saw emmanuel's arms down there in that angle
01:13:45It did look like it caught something down there and you just can't tell if his arms were underneath but it did look like a small
01:13:51ricochet
01:13:53I wouldn't count on that being the deciding factor though. It's so close
01:13:57These officials are going to be very sure before they reverse the call
01:14:01The patriots are doing the right thing. They've got everybody huddled up. They've got two situations to worry about
01:14:08Let's those probably already told them what the play is going to be so they can start to think about what they do
01:14:12And what they're going to do on the next play after they make the first down if they do
01:14:19If the clock's running they'll just ground the ball on the next snap now with the
01:14:25Regular referees
01:14:27When they go over to the replay booth
01:14:29They're supposed to have only 90 seconds to make a decision when they stick their head
01:14:35into the booth
01:14:37But with the replacement referees, I believe they're giving them some leeway. So here quite possibly the call of the game
01:14:45after review
01:14:47The passes rule incomplete
01:14:50Yeah
01:14:55You know what coach I think it's going to go back to that ball just ricocheting
01:14:59What appears to be off the ground you just can't tell for sure but right there you see it bounce right in there
01:15:06Looks like a little bit of a trap and i'm sure that's the angle that decided that call
01:15:11And like you said, it's a fine line
01:15:13But they felt like it was strong enough to overturn the call and I can't disagree with them
01:15:17Really? So that brings up fourth down at 17 from the 24th. They need to go to the 41
01:15:24for a first down
01:15:28J.R. Redmond the lone setback they're on their feet in cincinnati
01:15:36And right off the bat
01:15:37It looks like they're giving david patton a little single coverage out here
01:15:40You've got to get a safety over the top coach. I wouldn't just let him take a shot down the field one on one
01:15:46And now there's a safety coming over the top I would wager just
01:15:51by the style of
01:15:54The bingles defense they're going to bring extra people. They're going to make him throw quick rather than defend. Yep
01:16:00Andrew blutsoe will huddle it up once again
01:16:04I'm not sure what that delay was the referee was trying to get the speaker to work and it wouldn't work to tell us something
01:16:12Well, it's tough to make a 17-yard completion if you can't set your feet and like you said pressure's probably coming
01:16:17So here we go fourth and 17
01:16:23Bletsoe rolls what's the setup?
01:16:27Can't go down
01:16:34And once again, it's number 57
01:16:37And once again, it's number 57 adrian ross
01:16:46Hey coach, I like the idea of rolling drew bledsoe out on fourth down
01:16:49But you're rolling him to the left side
01:16:51That means he has to stop and set his feet and get his arm around
01:16:55It's too much time to have to expect him to stop if you're going to roll him out
01:16:59Roll him out to his right where we can throw on the run
01:17:02You see him getting ready to stop his feet and plant him and here comes ross doesn't have time to do it
01:17:07Well, david patton was wide open behind everybody
01:17:12the thing will celebrate
01:17:15Patriots don't
01:17:17And blutsoe is hurt. Yeah, let's just hope
01:17:21from the standpoint of the patriots that that's just a uh
01:17:25Slight injury and he'll be back next week
01:17:28But pat david patton was running a post pattern 10 or 12 yards down the field and run to the goal post the middle
01:17:34Of the field on the back side of it
01:17:36But there was no way that drew bledsoe could set up. He was just under too much pressure
01:17:40It's just so darn tough to roll a quarterback who's offside
01:17:44And have enough time to stop set your feet and throw the ball
01:17:48No timeouts remaining for the patriots. John kitna in his first start
01:17:53As the quarterback of the cincinnati bengals
01:17:58takes a knee
01:18:0018 and 15 kitten up in seattle as a starter
01:18:05Think how close this game was
01:18:07On fourth down the quarterback snake it was they had to get down on their knees to see if it was a first down or not
01:18:13For the patriots which might have made the difference in the game
01:18:16And then of course the completion ruled incomplete
