00:00Shotgun snap to Rattler.
00:02Completed over the middle.
00:04And he's taken down, but now before he gets this one to the 41.
00:08It's a gain of 11 there, that picks up the first.
00:11Nice to see that connection, that chemistry working between the two of them.
00:20First down from the 41.
00:27This is Alvin Kamehra with it.
00:30Well, he had to power through one tackle just to get back to the line that time.
00:34When one defender failed, his buddy was there to swarm to the ball
00:38and make that play just as it gets to the line of screen.
00:45First down run, netted him nothing.
00:47Here is second and ten.
00:51On the ground, Rattler.
00:55Oh, he was on the move, but still was the defense.
00:58And they take him down.
01:01And the sack forces a now tougher third down.
01:04All right, first sack on the board.
01:06On the first drive is the defense.
01:07And now, well, now we let the chess match begin.
01:10The adjustments begin.
01:11Because we know pressure leads to sacks.
01:14And sacks in this league often leads to wins.
01:24Will this drive continue?
01:26Here comes third down.
01:31Here he goes, third and long.
01:35Right side, Shane, he's got it.
01:37And that's a solid stop there to limit the damage.
01:40Gave up some, but it's still fourth down.
01:42You can earn your money in the NFL in all sorts of different ways.
01:45But defensively, in a league where you're just not hitting as much,
01:48you train a camp, you're not tackling as much as they got to in the old days.
01:52You can make a play in the open field.
01:54Keep it short like that.
01:55I promise you, some money will follow.
02:01And this just gets past the 20 before going out.
02:05The Denver offense taking the field for their second drive.
02:08They didn't start the game off like they wanted, Brock.
02:11Still searching for that opening first down as they take the field a second time.
02:24Broncos to the line now.
02:26It's first and ten.
02:32First run of the game for J.K. Javits.
02:35And he gets a few on the punch forward.
02:38You know, Kate, that might be a little bit of a disappointing run to him.
02:41He wanted more.
02:42They always do.
02:42That's exactly what they were after offensively to get this drive moving.
02:51They'll come up after that four-yard gain.
02:53It's second and six.
02:58Out of the gun.
02:59It's Knicks.
03:01It will contact Ingram.
03:03And they're on it quickly there after that catch.
03:05So the game's going to be to the 34-yard line.
03:08An even ten-yard gain on the play.
03:10And that's good for a Broncos first down.
03:13I may love watching a great thrower, but I love watching a well-done route, too, Kate.
03:18Make that guy think you're trying to stack them, only to drop your hips and cut right inside.
03:22So good work to help reset those chains.
03:27Oh, look at this.
03:29Here he goes.
03:30If you've heard me say it once, you've heard me say it a hundred times.
03:33Completions, completions, completions.
03:35Well, that wasn't a pass.
03:36It was a scramble.
03:37But the Nets, the same thing.
03:39Keeping this offense on schedule.
03:45Offense is sent.
03:46This is second and two.
03:53Straight ahead.
03:54Here's Dobbins.
03:56He's going to get this one in the enemy territory to the 47.
04:01It's a gain of 12 on that one.
04:03And it's going to be first down Denver.
04:05That right there, that will make the coaches happy.
04:08He didn't just get the first down.
04:09He's got a healthy chunk of bonus yards afterwards.
04:12Here's first and ten from the 47.
04:20Nix from the gun.
04:24We had a throw.
04:25What a great defensive play to Jarrett Luz.
04:28Incomplete.
04:29Working across the middle, Brock.
04:30It is time for anybody to make plays through all that mess.
04:33Even when you're the biggest and baddest pass catcher on the roster.
04:37But as a tight end, you're going to be disappointed because that's what you're paid to do.
04:40It's one thing for those undersized receivers you talk about.
04:43It's another one for these big tight ends.
04:45You are paid to make that catch through the contact.
04:48You couldn't do it.
04:49And this is pushed ahead for a gain of five.
04:52Chase Young bringing him down there.
04:54You make that call to just give yourself a fighting chance on third down, Kate.
04:58Take at least a little bite of the big deal between them and the first down marker.
05:03And that should make this upcoming call a little less daunting.
05:06Quite the drive they've had, Brock.
05:08But they're up against it.
05:09Third and five now.
05:10Now, Nick's now to throw.
05:14He has the first over the middle.
05:16And he'll pick up enough to move the chains.
05:21They like to say it's about the Jimmys and the Joes.
05:23I think that's about the X's and the O's.
05:25That's a well-drawn-out completion that gets them first down.
05:30They've got first down here from the 36.
05:36Now, an inside handoff to Dobbins.
05:39Second down's going to be a good, good tougher.
05:41He can't even get back to the line.
05:42This play loses yards.
05:44Oh, talk about a bad look there, Brock.
05:47Going jumbo set and still moving backwards after that play.
05:51I don't think you're talking to this defense, Kate, because I think they thought that was an excellent look to
05:56knock that thing backwards.
05:57Yeah, good point, good point.
06:00Nick's looking to throw.
06:04He's in over the middle.
06:05And they haul him down just a quarter too shy of the red zone.
06:09Getting 18 yards on that play, Brock, and it gets him a first down.
06:13And the Broncos, first down.
06:17I know the combine tries to test everything he possibly can physically, but I don't know how you test courage
06:23at the combine.
06:24Because there's nobody defending you.
06:25Nobody wants to hit you.
06:26But that was the epitome of courage to make that in-cut and make the catch.
06:33Nick's now on first and 10.
06:35He tries to set the screen.
06:36Dobbins.
06:37And he maybe got back to the line there, but no further.
06:42He specializes in salvaging broken plays out of the backfield, but even he couldn't get anything out of that one,
06:48Kate.
06:48That defense, they were all over it.
06:54Second and 10.
06:55Need to get some positive yardage here.
07:02Running over center with the blocking.
07:04Over to the right.
07:06And he stopped as we get closer to our first point to this ball game.
07:09And it's going to be first and goal now.
07:13That's just not the guy that you've ever won the open field.
07:17Frankly, with the amount of space he had at one point, they're lucky to have limited to the gain they
07:21did.
07:22Four downs now to get in.
07:24Here's first and goal.
07:28And the red zone on first.
07:33And it's just hit and he holds that one ball.
07:36Oh, the Saints got to it.
07:38Not a ton after the recovery, so they're going to take possession deep in their own territory.
07:44Put a check mark by that one.
07:45You're going to remember that one, not just over the course of this game, but I guarantee you in the
07:50offseason when they're watching effort.
07:52That was all about effort.
07:54Backs pressed against the wall when you're down here defensively.
07:57And that's the type of play that coaches love to see from everyone on the roster.
08:00This New Orleans offense readied up for its second drive of the contest.
08:05And they're certainly hoping for some better results here after that first drive ended in a punt.
08:22Saints to the line now.
08:24First A and 10.
08:28They're going to throw now, following the turnover.
08:31Throw left side, caught by Shahid.
08:33And he reaches the 17-yard line as he's hauled down.
08:37That is a textbook first down completion.
08:41Sets up second and very manageable.
08:43It creates space to take that shot downfield.
08:49After a good pickup, they're set up with second and short.
08:57Now Rattler on the play fake.
09:00And they're coming out and the ball is out.
09:02And they scoop it up.
09:03Time to push the line.
09:04All right, so they retain possession, but they're going backwards, Brock, after they put it on the ground.
09:10Well, I think you know the only thing we're teaming about that play, Kate.
09:13They got the ball back.
09:14Yeah, well done.
09:15Yeah, they got the ball back for a whole lot longer down the distance.
09:19They dodged the turnover, but still third and pretty long.
09:22They've got to figure out.
09:28Here's a give inside to Kamara.
09:30He's limited to a gain of about three, which means they are well short.
09:33This is forked down.
09:35This close to your own goal line, they really don't want to risk a sack.
09:39That means, well, one option.
09:40Run it and buy whatever breathing room you can.
09:52Here comes the Saints' punting unit.
09:54And after that drive went backwards, he's going to send this one forward.
09:59He gets it out of there, and this has some distance.
10:03Jukes away from one.
10:05And he's brought down before the return gets far.
10:08Denver ready for another offensive possession.
10:11By this point, partner, they are through that opening script.
10:13Blue's trying to establish their offense, and yet, still no points.
10:17Thinking it might be time to start switching things up a little bit.
10:20Tear up the old game plan and start fresh.
10:21Well, I promise you, that's what's buzzing on the headsets and over on the sidelines and in the huddle.
10:26Got to find a way to just get into some sort of rhythm.
10:32All right, working from the gun to Starks.
10:34First and ten.
10:39Now Nix.
10:41Going to the back of the end zone.
10:44And through the back of the end zone and out of bounds.
10:48Took his shot at six that time.
10:49So it'll be second down.
10:52Ooh, for a moment.
10:53Thought those were our first points until he came and knocked it away.
10:56Yeah, I think the message sent pretty clear after that play.
10:59You're going to have to try a lot harder than that to be the first ones on the board.
11:03After the incompletion, they come up on second and ten.
11:07Here's Nix to throw.
11:10As a man, that's Courtney Sutton.
11:13And there's the stock after he drives this down at the 13.
11:16He'll move the sticks after ripping off a gate of 28.
11:20First down.
11:22First and ten of the 13-yard line.
11:33I think my favorite part was the magic he worked after the catch.
11:37The way he took the completion and made so much more out of it by adding all the extra yardage.
11:43From the red zone now.
11:46Nix Sutton with back-to-back catches.
11:49And he stopped as we get closer to our first points of this ball game.
11:53It's going to be first and goal now.
11:55You know, Kate, you'll find teams go with this crossing route concept, sometimes a dozen times a game.
12:01A lot of times it's for short yardage, but sometimes things break in the right coverage for a much bigger
12:06impact play.
12:06Just like that.
12:11Dobbins.
12:12Can't push it across.
12:14They make the stand.
12:15Looks like they might have stopped him a little bit behind the line, too.
12:18This is one of those plays that I wish we had the huddle mic'd up, Kate.
12:22Because I can assure you, that offense line in their own way is telling that running back star, we did
12:27not give you any chance.
12:30Thankfully not a big loss last play.
12:31They're at the two, second and goal.
12:35Again, it's Dobbins.
12:37And he's backed up again as they stop him for another loss.
12:40Thank you very much.
12:41Thank you very much.
