00:00He dodged the tackle. They can't stop him.
00:04And he's stopped as we get closer to our first point to this ballgame.
00:07It's going to be first and goal now.
00:09This dude was just not going to be stopped.
00:12Not by the first defender, heck, not even by the second one who was able to bring him down.
00:16Though it took a few shots before this crew could finally get this piece down.
00:21Four downs to get this across. Here's first and goal.
00:26They send a tight end in motion.
00:29Connor!
00:31Scores! Touchdown, Arizona!
00:33The Cardinals pick it off and get putts on the ensuing drive.
00:38It's a James Connor touchdown!
00:43Nice execution to get that counter to the end zone.
00:46Maybe not the player we expected, Brock, but the play that they needed right there.
00:50I love a well-executed counter. I really do.
00:52It's like a good boxer, Kate. You set him up with a feint one way,
00:55and then you hit him with the knockout the other.
00:57Keep them from answering the bell.
00:59It's stopping you from reaching that end zone.
01:01On is Chad Ryland for the point after.
01:08The point after splits the upright.
01:11And the Cardinals will win, they're going to run against this.
01:12And the Cardinals will jump out to a seven-nothing lead.
01:14One in a stopping.
01:17One.
01:18Hope you get hit this.
01:19Then play in
01:21and now,
01:42All set now for the kickoff, Ryland with the honors.
01:49Return coming from the six.
01:53And this drive will start inside the 25.
01:57So the Broncos headed out for their second drive of the game.
02:00And they got up on the wrong foot here with that opening drive interception that led to points the other
02:05way.
02:06Yeah, and what this defense has shown is they are going to capitalize on your mistakes.
02:10And not just a little, but by a lot.
02:12So from here on out, you better play some mistake-free football because this defense is hunting for more.
02:20Broncos to the line now.
02:22It's first and ten.
02:27Not deterred by that pick.
02:28He's throwing again.
02:30Throwing the out route complete.
02:32And they get him out just before he can move those chains, Parker.
02:35It's a gain of nine on first down.
02:37The smartest pass catchers I've ever been around.
02:39They know how to set up an out cut beautifully.
02:41They recognize when they have leverage how to sell the deep route.
02:45And then, boom, they just break it out as if it's nothing.
02:49Only need about the length of the football.
02:51Maybe a touch more on his second and inches.
02:54He's right ahead.
02:55Here's Dobbins.
02:56He's going to bring it up to the 40-yard line before he stops.
03:00Six-yard gain on the play.
03:02And it's going to be first down, Denver.
03:04First up, Jim, at the 40-yard line.
03:07That's certainly a spot where you could be more aggressive, Kate, if you wanted to take your shots.
03:10But some coaches, even the bolder ones, will take the safe play first when they get it from time to
03:15time.
03:15No third down required now.
03:18First down, and they go right back to it.
03:21Looks like we can call it about four yards in the end.
03:24Jalen Thompson, the man on the tackle.
03:27You know, Kate, it's plays like that.
03:28It's just kind of the meat and potatoes.
03:30Not going to make any highlight reel, but just the positive, efficient plays on the ground.
03:34You need to keep plays and drives alive.
03:37So gain a five on that first down.
03:39Let's see if they can repeat that performance now here on second.
03:45Now Knicks.
03:47That's him on a quick hitter.
03:48And they get this down to the 44 before he stopped.
03:52It's a gain of 11 there, and that picks up the first.
03:55Nice to see that connection, that chemistry working between the two of them.
04:05Markers are reset.
04:06Here we go.
04:06Ball with the 44.
04:11On first down, it's Knicks.
04:14That one doesn't find its man.
04:16Incomplete.
04:18Well, even with the pick on that last drive, partner, he is showing no hesitation whatsoever.
04:22Well, in order to play this game, Kate, at this level, you've got to be aggressive.
04:26You can't let a previous mistake really affect your next decision.
04:30I'll say this as well.
04:31In the NFL, you throw any coverage too many times, there's going to be more interceptions.
05:03Again, on second and ten, Knicks.
05:04Just in.
05:06On third down, here's Knicks.
05:09That's caught upside by Velez.
05:11And just gets back to the line of scrimmage.
05:15You know, Kate, that's exactly what that coverage was meant for.
05:19Knicks quarterback, throw it short, go up and rally, and get yourself off the field.
05:25On fourth down, Bronco's going to call on Jeremy Croshaw here to punt.
05:29And he's got a good chance to really stick him deep his first time out.
05:35And this looks like it got just inside the 20 as it blew out, and indeed it did.
05:40They're putting the ball at the 19-yard line.
05:42The Arizona offense ready to get things going again.
05:45And their goal is going to be doubling that 7-0 lead they have so far.
05:56Cardinals into formation.
05:58It's first and ten.
06:05I need to shut this drive with Conner.
06:08He shuts out this drive with a nice gain of eight.
06:11Second down.
06:12The cool thing about a drive starting a run like that, Kate,
06:15is it really just gives you every opportunity to play with whatever you want to do.
06:19But as for me, I like to reward that run.
06:21Give it to him again and see if he can get you a new set of downs.
06:24Nice run last play.
06:26Sets up second and two.
06:30Right back to Conner.
06:31And he's dropped just short of the marker, maybe a yard away.
06:36An offensive group really hopes he's going to get it all right there.
06:40Reset it back to first down.
06:42But instead of defense, they're not going to let anything come easy.
06:45And their fight has given them a chance to stall things out in third and short.
06:49Here we go.
06:50Goal line formation coming out on third and inches.
06:54Murray with the sneak.
06:55They were loaded and ready for that sneak, weren't they?
06:57They stopped him at the line.
06:58No game.
06:59It's a game of a yard.
07:01That's more than a must-get for a quarterback.
07:03I really put that in the always-get territory.
07:06Even if the defense knows what's coming,
07:08you've got to be able to drive forward for at least a couple inches.
07:11So first and ten now from the 30.
07:18This time it's a passing play.
07:21The right side hauled in by Harrison.
07:24And he has it right near midfield here.
07:26It's about a yard short.
07:28It's a game of 19 on the play.
07:30And it's going to give the Cardinals a first down.
07:33It's another Cardinals first down.
07:36First and ten at the 49-yard line.
07:39From a great throw to a nice route and catch to moving the chains.
07:42There wasn't a whole lot not to life about that amazing play.
07:47Just a yard shy midfield.
07:49First and ten.
07:53Shotgun handoff to Conner.
07:55Rocks by the first guy he met.
07:57No game on that first down run.
08:00Absolutely no fear in his game.
08:02Even one of the smaller defenders out there,
08:04he isn't afraid to go charging into all those linemen
08:07and dish out some physical play himself to make that stop.
08:11First down run, netted him nothing.
08:13Here is second and ten.
08:18Now Murray on the play fake.
08:21And down he goes.
08:22The Bronco defense gets there.
08:25And that's going to add some distance on to this upcoming third down.
08:29Knowing how a wonderful EA sports team director does his job.
08:33We're going to see a replay real quick here, Kate.
08:35And I want to see that moment of truth.
08:37That panic in the QB's eyes.
08:38You run that bootleg.
08:40You're out there alone.
08:41You got to make something happen.
08:42Or you can take a risk like that.
08:44A huge sack for this defense.
08:55Not an enviable spot as they come up third and long.
09:02Here he goes third and long.
09:05Here's the screen.
09:06It's Connor.
09:08And he rips off good yardage, but it will not move the chains.
09:13I'm a big fan of the screen pass.
09:16Really, you can run the screen as they just showed on any play.
09:18First, second, third down.
09:19Sometimes even fourth.
09:21And it takes great acumen.
09:22A great football IQ defensively.
09:24Offensively, to have an awareness that's coming.
09:26And the more important, it's Stockholm.
09:34And that kick will get out of bounds without a return.
09:36Looks to be a little shy of reaching the 20.
09:39The Broncos running their offense out once again.
09:42Things sure have started out rough.
09:44And they've stayed that way through two drives.
09:46Maybe drive number three here is where we see this offense get rolling.
10:00All right, Denver getting everybody set.
10:03So they've got first and ten.
10:08Out of the gun.
10:10It's Knicks.
10:10So Cass brought in.
10:12And he's sure the first after a mild game.
10:16Now the completion rate is strong, partner.
10:18The yards, you've got to imagine, will start to come soon enough.
10:21You never go broke, taking a profit.
10:23And you know this one, too, Kate.
10:25The crumbs always lead to...
10:26Oh, the cookie.
10:28Now I'm hungry.
10:29Halfway to the marker.
10:30It's second and five.
10:35Knicks from the gun.
10:38Complete to Mims.
10:41They're going to bring him down just after he crosses the 50.
10:44It's a 24-yard gash, and it gives them the first down.
10:47Oh, that's just awesome, Kate.
10:49A little bit of multitasking on that catch.
10:51Primary...
