00:00Back-to-back pass is failing to connect, Brock. It's third down.
00:04I'll tell you what, Kate. Challenging this guy in a close game, you are tempting fate.
00:09You got one hand on it. He gets two. It could have gone the other way.
00:13So after that prior incompletion, it's third down.
00:19They'll throw again. Knicks.
00:22Here comes the pressure and they take him down. Got him at the 3-1.
00:26It is Jalen Walker.
00:27And now it is 4th and 17.
00:30I think we've reached the point of the game, Kate, where I've got to nick my PSA.
00:34Protect the quarterback. And quarterback, protect yourself.
00:38Here comes Will Lutz. A lot riding on this field goal try.
00:42This from 48 on the left hash.
00:47Kicked well. And this is good.
00:50And that brings things a little closer here late.
00:52Such a perfect example of a kicker just doing his job.
00:57And now, now it's incumbent upon that defense to give him and their offense another shot.
01:21So after making this a five-point ball game, they kick it off.
01:27Here's a return from the 7.
01:29And he dodged the tackle.
01:31And he's going to run so far.
01:33And great starting field position here as they bring him down beyond the 40.
01:37When you get contributions like that out of your kickoff returner, it is such a boost to an offense.
01:43This is about showing no fear.
01:45Hit the lane hard.
01:46A determined run back.
01:48And setting your offense up with great field position.
02:09The Falcons in good field position here.
02:12They start out first and ten.
02:16Now two of the throw.
02:20And the catch in and out of his hands.
02:23Contact separating him from the football that time.
02:25Second down coming up.
02:26Can't cover it much better than that.
02:28Really well covered, Cade, on that play.
02:30There just simply was not a window for him to sneak that throw in.
02:37Second down.
02:38Still tend to go after that incomplete pass.
02:42Two out of the pistol.
02:46Fits it through the middle.
02:48Taken down finally to contain the damage.
02:51It's still 32 yards on that pick-up.
02:53And that's going to be good for a Falcons first down.
02:56Moves the chain.
02:58Got to move their chains.
02:59Still momentum.
03:00And keep that defense on its heels.
03:09New set of downs for him.
03:10It'll start at the 38.
03:16Here's Robinson up the middle.
03:18He's charged towards the line.
03:19It's right around three yards.
03:21Not a bad play by any means.
03:24And they know it's a three-yard pick-up.
03:27Brings up second and seven.
03:30At the 34-yard line.
03:33After the three-yard pick-up, it's second and seven.
03:43Back to throw.
03:44Two up.
03:47And the cover just too good there.
03:49Didn't find the throw that he was confident in, so he just throws it away.
03:52Third down coming up.
03:54Yeah, that's just a good call there.
03:55Not the type of lead or the down where you should be forcing anything.
03:59So, good call there to just get rid of it.
04:01Yeah, this is called game management, right?
04:03People get this bad perception of a game manager.
04:06He's a game manager.
04:07No, you should be a good game manager.
04:09And make sure you throw it away if nothing is there.
04:13He has the first over the middle.
04:15This is going to get them all the way to the red zone.
04:17He's taken down at the 13-yard line.
04:20We have a timeout called by the Broncos.
04:22That's their first.
04:24We still have two to work with in this final quarter.
04:37Coming to the line for another first and ten.
04:47Hand off now from the gun.
04:50And he only gets this one down at the nine.
04:53Denver calls the second of its three timeouts.
04:56And with another one gone, they're going to have just one remaining this game.
04:59Second and seven.
05:14Last run got him three.
05:15Here's second and seven.
05:23A handoff for Robinson running right.
05:25And he's in.
05:26It's an end of touchdown.
05:29He's John Robinson.
05:31It's another here in the fourth.
05:35It's what every player who scores a touchdown wants to do, Brock.
05:38He wants to get right back there and put another six on the board.
05:42I've never met an NFL player content with one end zone trip in a game.
05:46Nope.
05:46Yeah, if you're content, you're not making it to this league.
05:49You get one, you instantly think of another.
05:51And the fortunate few are able to actually deliver on it.
06:03Full calm now to try the point after.
06:10Send right down the middle and goes.
06:13And lead is up to 12.
06:15Makes the score.
06:16Falcons 34.
06:18Broncos 22.
06:49It's all on.
06:49And they're lined up.
06:50A full ready to send this one fly.
06:54Harvey now to return it.
06:57And that's going to set them up just beyond their own 20.
07:00And here comes the Bronco offense.
07:02And they just saw that league stretch out to a two-score margin now.
07:06Who really makes this a much-score series late.
07:08Hey, Kate, you know I believe this.
07:09You can never play this game in a state of desperation.
07:12But a state of urgency?
07:14Got to be at sky high right now.
07:24All right, Denver getting everybody sent.
07:26So they've got first and ten.
07:31To throw.
07:32Here's Knicks.
07:35On target to Waddle.
07:37Good game here.
07:3811 yards it looks like.
07:40That's going to pick up at first.
07:42Always a fun race up here in the booth.
07:44Between quarterback and receiver to watch.
07:45Who sees it first?
07:46That opening.
07:47If a receiver wins it, that hand's going up in the air.
07:49He wants it.
07:50Quarterback wins it.
07:51Passes out before he's even looking for it.
07:53And when they both recognize it, you get that.
07:56You get a first down.
07:57Couldn't get the playoff in time.
07:59They've arrived at our two-minute warning.
08:01Broncos need to score quickly.
