face the Detroit Lions the nightcap of our postseason double-header is this NFC wild card playoff game [Music] one team [Music] [Music] time to kick off this wildcard fight come on and hit it are you [Applause] [Music] playoffs coming home [Music] 45 degrees and partly cloudy just outside our nation's capital and over site of FedExField on the site of today's playoff game between the lions and the Redskins Al Michaels with Boomer Esiason and Lesley Visser last year the Lions were 5 and 11 when the open training camp this year a bomb was dropped Barry Sanders on the eve of training camp said I'm through I quit and Barry did not play it down this year the Lions have had no running game but Bobby Ross did a magnificent job keeping this team together they got off to a hot start they finished with four straight losses but at 8 and 8 good enough to get into the playoffs the Redskins meanwhile 6 and 10 last year an ownership change then an opening day this year blew a 21-point lead to Dallas but they were abounded they had the second-best offense in the National Football League this season and the second worst defense so a lot of points up on the board in almost every game Washington in Detroit the winter place next weekend the loser watches the game on television [Music] this game is also been broadcast in HDTV in cooperation with Panasonic on the digital team of your local ABC station we're available [Music] [Applause] [Music] 200 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] he wants to be a millionaire return Sunday at 9:00 8:00 central on ABC Spanish commentary for this game can be heard using the S AP feature on your TV set we're available brought to you by National Car Rental a great aerial view of this three year old facility just outside Washington DC and boomer we talked about the fact that the open that the Lions have had no running game this year don't figure to have one today so how are they gonna beat the Washington Redskins well the first thing they're gonna do is are gonna move their fullback the tailback Corey Schlesinger to give a little bit more pop to that running game but expect them to deploy a three wide receiver set they got three great wide receivers in crow L Morton and more that's where they have the best matchups Bobby Ross told me before the game if they could just keep Gus parot calm early on in this game and he doesn't turn the bulb early they can make some big plays down the field now the Redskins on the other hand have a great running game even though Stephen Davis has missed two and a half games with an ankle we'll keep an eye on him early but they also have a great quarterback in Brad Johnson he picked him up from Minnesota he's turned out to be a godsend for them he's it was a great trade in the offseason by Norv Turner in the Washington Redskins he started all 16 games for the first time in his career over 4,000 yards he's a Pro Bowler he's got everything motoring especially a great running back in Steven Davis but they too also have great wide receivers and the best defense for the Washington Redskins since their defense isn't very good is to keep their defense off the field and control the football and that's what Pratt Johnson does very well crowd is juiced up the Redskins haven't been to the playoffs since nineteen - lions and Redskins from Washington so in conclusion I'd like to thank you shareholders for taking the time to attend scuse me yes this is mr. uh Mutombo looking at your annual report page 16 can you explain the implications of floating your long term debt in a potentially inflationary economy when we created a smarter kind of investment firm do you know anything about inventory valuation we created a smarter kind of investor ABC Sports welcomes you to the following presentation of the National Football League [Music] beautiful day no threat of rain partly cloudy skies temperature in the mid 40s at FedEx Field and Landover Maryland just outside Washington DC north Turner completing his sixth season at the helm of the Washington Redskins to the playoffs for the first time and he's with Leslie mr. hi Leslie hi Allen boomer as you said Allen a really exciting place to be well nor if you have home-field advantage of history on your side but you lost badly to this team five weeks ago what is key today we played poorly the last time we played these guys we got to play better hopefully being at home will be a big difference what about you had him for five years where is he most dangerous we really need to cover better than we did last time we played them and that allows we get some more pressure on Gus another stone better than you thanks Norah back to you guys all right Thank You Leslie Norris said the worst game of skins played all season was at the silver dome on the 5th of December I went Farhat and the Lions won the game 33 17 that's the last time Detroit won a game though 14 penalties 5 turnover a 5 sacks from four turnovers out but this one is outdoors and you're at home such a different set Desmond Howard is hurt so tight wolf in the water kicked at the nine back out to the 27 and that's where the Lions with gusts Farhat will take over duster Rocklin is college football the Tulsa was a until last year when he was released and was signed the back of Charlie Batch in Detroit and behind him as Gomer said they make the change in the backfield go a Schlesinger and Reese the running backs Morton and more outside Sloan the tight end Ramirez simple Compton partings and Brooks up front ray Roberts their outstanding left tackle a month ago they had to do a lot of shifting in the interior forty-seven and crack going down set by Craig Jones on the opening offensive play the linebacker Jones berries for on that Washington defense and the strength of it is upfront along the line with Wilkinson and Stubblefield in the middle and Cooke and Coleman outside the linebackers have been pretty ordinary even though you'd never know it from that glass plate Joe Smith and Barber then you've got the rookie Bailey and the 39 year old shade and heaven are the safeties [Applause] [Music] they give it the Schlesinger Laurie picks up for the 24 to be third down and 13 Derrick Smith makes the tackle well you went back to the first play of the game Bharat just gets drilled by Jones and Schlesinger does not pick up the Blitz and that's basically right you have to wonder if it's because he's back there at halfback and he's not used to blocking from that position and Jones just basically comes free and if you're farhat that's what you want well you don't want it but you want to get hit the beginning of the game to kind of settle you down a little bit and then where he's got to be careful Ali you cannot turn the ball over probably the best thing for him so you've had a sack and forced to use a timeout in the first minute 17 seconds not a particularly glorious lark for Detroit third and 13 come back people are beginning to think of the automobile not just as a family vehicle but as a personal and individual means of transportation job of a powerful engine now for a moment imagine yourself driver this automobile really have to drive it at the Chrysler proving ground give them an expressway if their drivers I think we make the scenic back roads on the drive is in any country or suburban Road they're the type of people who like the feel of a flying machine record the sounds of nature sing their prettiest over the rich throaty obbligato of isn't even sheet metal can have a soul and it give you back the romance of driving and that is why these will never land on an ordinary car and you find out what exceptional unity of man and machine my name is Bob Tim Karen I'm quitting smoking with Nicorette the correct is me two ways to help control my cravings first I help prevent them you see I set myself up on a regular schedule six pieces a day nine well you know when you just get that craving anyway doing my taxes meeting my new daughter-in-law flying days I take another piece to help take control know after smoking for twenty years I'm finally gonna make it I'm sticking with it I'm gonna do it you can do it Nicorette can help garage coming back for rot with his left pan right tape when I went to the sidelines now there is poori sadder who right now is the number two quarterback boomer take a look at this on the sack and there's Jones going right there you could see number thirty Schlessinger trying to get over realizing that his his man he might have broken a finger out and there's well there's Charlie backs Charlie already has a broken right thumb in uniform but play between pass which is problematic for a quarterback and there that Cory satyr has never thrown a crow fast there's a stream - Cedric urban the third down back the rookie out of Michigan State but he is well shy of the first down and so it's three and out on Detroit's first series well I honestly think that he heard his probably his ring finger or his pinky and it might be broken on his left hand he has no choice but to play in this game thankfully it wasn't his right hand but I will tell you this will be bothering him all night long I'm going to be careful we'll have to watch him to see whether or not he's able to handle the ball Brian Mitchell is back to receive the kick John jet ascended skyward two minutes into the game if you're just tuning in and miss he miracle finish the Tennessee Titans beat the Buffalo Bills 22:16 John jet and then brings it back to the 31-yard line so that's Jim Zorn the ex Seattle quarterback and the quarterbacks coach now with Detroit going over things with Barratt as the Redskins come out Brad Johnson had been with the Minnesota Vikings since 92 that lost his job to Cunningham came here in a trade did a magnificent job this year and behind him in the backfield with people I on Steven Davis with the tender ankle larry centers the X Cardinal Westbrook and Connell outside and Alexander the tight end hexans Laver Johnson and John James in the front Fred Johnson will go to the Pro Bowl John James and Whoopie out of Michigan [Music] there was somewhat limited in practice this week but progressed nicely according to norv turner me picks up three Sacco by Claybourne the Lyons Porche Jones Ellison Scroggins up front the linebackers Aldridge Boyd will be going to the Pro Bowl Claiborne the number one draft pick out of SC Westbrook and Bailey at the corners carrier and rice are the safety now if they're gonna win this game the Detroit Lions it's going to fall right on the shoulders of this defense trying somehow to control the running game in the short passing game of the Redskins and forcing turnovers second down today Stephen had a good chance to win the NFL rushing crown which was claimed by Edgerrin James the Indianapolis rookie but he was hurt two and a half weeks ago it's get a report from Lesley Visser leslie al just a quick note of course Redskins fans are famous for coming early and staying late but at this moment about 10,000 fans are not here there is a suicide attempt on the Wilson bridge that's the main road 95 between Virginia and Maryland and all traffic is stopped out and that's the reason only about 70,000 instead of a beer Johnson a third down to throw it in effect away reserving prior and it will be fourth down and you could see why the Detroit Lions defense is as good as it is because they get pressure with four guys when you're talking about Tracy Scroggins and also Robert Porche on the outside and you can get that kind of pressure you can flood the secondary with seven people very difficult to try to complete passes in that kind of situation out that Turek will take the snap from his brother Dan Turk Dan does the snapping man knows the booting okay there's a flag down his turf got hit click three wall came in tried to block it made contact cause the play it was fourth down and five Chuck prefers the Detroit special teams coach is it running into the kicker Bob McElwee or roughing the kicker there's a significant difference here because it looks like it's about fourth and five and a half Ryan yasur Corwin Brown number 44 of the Lions right there just kind of pleading his case with Bob McElroy but to no avail and Bobby Ross is absolutely livid a guy that I played for how many years ago number 58 defense five yards firstly he will not stand and he will not tolerate mistakes like this this is the same as a turnover you could see that he's just kind of slipping into him but Bob McElwee has said running in it's a fine running into the kicker it's five yards but they're gonna mark it off he would he said first down but this is actually going to be very close now they have marked it at the 41 Bob initially said first down but I mentioned it was a fourth and from where we look at it five and a half and now they will mark it and I would assume measure it because I don't think they have the first down it looks like the sticks are just over the 41 and the ball is resting just here the 41 yard will give the kicking team a first down that's exactly right and I don't think it will and so it's going to be fourth and inches we believe as soon as they bring the chains up talking to Bobby Ross before the game al he was telling me that we have a real shot at winning this game nobody's given us a chance everybody feels like this is a mail-in game for the Redskins except for the fall the Lions fans and lion players and he basically said look if we just can control their offense a little bit and have no turnovers and no penalties or keep the penalties to a minimum this is our best chance to win a game now Bob McElwee gave the first half signal so it didn't bring me now they're going to have to move to change the chain guys are even confused they haven't moved you they are and if they go they give them first down at the 41 yard line first down for the Redskins after the running into the kicker penalty the blitz forces Junction to get rid of the past in a hurry and it will be second down and ten Brandt I think Brad Johnson much like Hostetler boomer in the sense Jeff spent a lot of years in New York rarely playing in fact a couple of seasons not even taking a snap as did Johnson in Minnesota then when he got his opportunity away he went yeah but when you talk to Brad Johnson he'll tell you that he set the table in Minnesota a few years and then just never got the chance to finish it off because of injury and certainly he's found a home here North Turner told us boy he is so happy with this guy second down and 10 davus the question on everybody's lips around here for the last 72 hours boomer how effective could he be how much will that ankle bother him and you could see you could see how he's a big guy he last year he played fullback for the Redskins because Larry Bowie their fullback last year got hurt did not have a hundred yard game obviously only brush for I believe about 108 yards total last year this year's six games over 100 yards he's a tough inside runner keep an eye on him physically goes out of the game I think third and Tim Johnson over the middle the next with Irving Cryer in his 16th year and at Nebraska Irving has been around since the mid 80s retired for a while Redskins got him back and he's been a down the stretch one-on-one with JB Browns is breaking across the middle older receivers do a good job of setting up their their pass routes and are able to break the cross and you watch Brad Thompson in the pocket he is poised and he is calm and he's confident something Norv Turner hasn't had here in a while from the 43 yard line [Applause] he hangs it up anything could be Westbrook may have hit him early Albert huddled the intended receiver of the flag yard well if you're a Detroit lion fan you get used to seeing this and you can see that Bryant Westbrook gets beat at the line of scrimmage and it's basically an appearance number 32 deeper run bye-bye connect tunnel and Westbrook has no choice but to tackle Connelly and you take a look at this right here you could see how badly he's got him beat and westbrook's doing all he can to catch up but this is something that has marred his entire season and many people in Detroit wonder about the confidence of Bryant Westbrook and where he's at mentally just can't continue to do this and that's the one thing that you don't want to have happen to you if you're the Detroit Lions you work so hard and then give up a big play like that first and day [Applause] [Music] [Applause] get spotted just outside the goal line Luther Ellis is the first to hit him you just have to wonder if there's Bryant Westbrook right there and he's obviously struggled this season with covering the long pass and take a look at Steven Davis in the first quarter eight first quarter TDS and you think he's good in the first quarter how good is the offense such in those situations day [Applause] and if it has boarded tea now they shift out [Applause] Johnson rolling and pointing and it has to throw it away so you're within two inches of getting it into the end zone and the next thing you know it's third down luther ellis chasing Johnson out of the box it's kind of bad spot for a play-action pass like this though while the defense is so set on trying to stop the run that if you can give a good fake and that wasn't a great fake to be honest with you to give it a shot on second down and I think third down you'll probably run the football here but Johnson was pointing to get his guy to come back towards the back of the end zone and try to throw it in behind the defender very robust key coordinating the passing game Davis and sellers in the backfield sellers as the blocking [Applause] Davis and is [Applause] with a handoff when he gets into the endzone a judge you have to get out of the way these guys get down by the goal line they spill touchdown they want the money that's the way it works Brad Johnson flipping around a little bit now and it looks like they hit meas you saw the owner of the team Dan Snyder so they get in on third down and goal and for Detroit the game begins with a timeout on offense a three and and then two penalties when they bring their defensive unit out and a touchdown for Washington Conway for the point after for Detroit was the running into the kicker then the 41 yard penalty on Westbrook Davis scores it was 909 left in the period Snyder's Redskins lead seven to nothing [Music] two dudes

TV is online right now you can get live up to the minute stats play a live interactive game you can get there by going to espn.com or NFL tolkien taking the place of the injured Desmond Howard leaves the ball on the ground at the 32 there's a penalty flag down he was hit by Larry sisters it is Detroit's ball and then we'll see about the play Bob McElroy who is in the referee and two Super Bowls in his 20-year career says it is holding against the Lions well it's a nightmare beginning for the Detroit Lions huge penalties on the last series and now a penalty here a ball drop does brats off hand is holding number 59 I'll be receiving [Music] it's hurt and this is the recipe for disaster right now the Detroit lines have to somehow be able to keep the game close and not let he to get away from that sandy hat going back to the locker open some attention the penalty meanwhile on Detroit was on 59 Kevin O'Neill [Applause] for I try to do just that keeping in the game after the penalty back in a 22 yard line 856 left in the opening period have to be so careful not to let this game get away from you can have turnovers 20:22 [Applause] [Music] stretching forth but can't make the play Johnny having his best here Johnny Morton to play this college ball at USC when a tee can choose this season for 1129 yards and Darryl Greene at the age of 39 hanging with him well Darryl Greene had a bout of bronchitis this week the last two days he has been in bed and you can see right there he's still got some good speed now Gus would have running that ball up there a little bit he might have had a completion but talking to him before the game you asked him are you coming back next year what did he tell you he gave me the most invasive answer I've ever heard second down and 10 he picks up five between looking for any age and I guess when you play that long he said you know what I made you today I had bronchitis all week I'm gonna call Fon the wide receivers scare of that way well you can see right there the speed of the Lion wide receivers that's the matchup that you want al that's the type of match if you have to exploit there's Jim Joe horn the quarterback coach for the Detroit Lions he called the plays last week in Minnesota because Sylvester cleaned the offensive coordinator had a scare we're gonna bet a moment but Croom is fine today and there is Sylvester folding the play sending him down you paged him in the corral [Applause] first down that Cedric Irvin and he picks up the first down the rookie at a Michigan State they've been using him in third down situation as this season tackled by Barbour if you want to talk about a weakness in the defense it's back here at the linebacker position and there is Cedric Irvin is that a nice here nice pickup a good trap for them but you're talking about Shawn barber Derek Smith and Greg Jones kind of in the script kind of linebackers you don't really hear too much about him there's born farter who is brought in here right after the bye to help Mike no one [Applause] go ash Lessing her gets taken down there is Mike's son of dick Nolan formerly the coach of the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans Saints and and Mike was one of those hot young assistants when they worked for Dan Reeves with the Giants then he comes here and it's been a year from hell frankly for him with the 30th ranked defense you talk about a guy that's under some pressure you have an owner that is in-your-face type of guy he wants his defense cut a couple tough games to the Cowboys early this season and basically he has had to bear the front the negative press second and 11s listener gets taken down by Sean barber so the linebackers who have been fairly nondescript this year barber and Smith and Jones have all very much made their presence felt at the Oscar today well they sure have and they've gotten better since the second half of the season there's no question about that but there's still too many breakdowns they're too young and most of them actually have admitted that they're still learning on the fly not a good situation if you're the but they have played better especially since Lawrence Parker's gotten here a shotgun excellent protection the ball is tipped and it is incomplete and do quit Kalu a pass rush specialist from Cunard Lane they both come in and pants crushing situations locking it down and the Lions to punt [Applause] Brian Mitchell back to receive the last time the Redskins were in the playoffs Brian was there in fact he had a tremendous day against Minnesota in a wild card game after the 92 season [Applause] gibbs last year and he fair catches this one at 13 washington taking over there with 604 to go in the opening quarter Redskins seventh lion stuffing you know people still ask me about the crash tired of talking about the crash I mean first of all wasn't he really crash 1929 that was crash yeah that was bad maybe it was more like a market correction typically defined my like 1020 percent drop in the Dow Jones Industrial I rejoice you consider the economic factors affected when we created a smarter kind of investment firm we created a smarter kind of investor know about

7 nothing a reminder that on the 29th of January the day before the Superbowl seem your skins we'll feature Nicholas Palmer player and Watson that's the 29th of January right here on ABC Steven Davis thirteen we caught from behind at the Detroit twenty-nine what bad ankle you certainly didn't look like a fullback they're out did he he came flying through the holes a nice lead block by Larry centers Brett running right up in the middle here and take a look at number 27 mark carrier right there he's blocked by number 83 the wide receiver is nice nice read by Stephen Davis coming through the middle Albert Cannell made a nice block at the point of attack and that's that's how you get big runs the wide receivers have to make the blocks downfield out and he does it off the left side where Kip Vickers has taken over at left tackle because Andy Hecht the left ankle has a torn hamstring obviously he will not be back and that fast his tips for the Redskins along their interior line lose Andy hack Claiborne tipped it Kip Vickers fifth-year guy out of Miami is the left tackle they come running in right behind them and they don't lose a beat and the thing that I like about the offense when they make a big play like that they come right back and I look for some more by trying to throw the football the Detroit lion defense he's got us somehow forced to turn over one of the original hogs rush grim the Redskins second down he's hit by Ron Rice when the season began they didn't know whether Davis would be the starting running back or at least when training camp began or skip fix they let Terry Allen go eventually wound up at New England but Davis who played fullback last year he was the blocker for Allen emerged in training camp and had a tremendous year skip Hicks was the guy that was supposed to I think that in the beginning of the year they thought he was going to be the guy then all of a sudden they found that they had that special back just sitting right there underneath their noses and they just had to give a chance third down and seven from the 26 yard line and diving for the first down is centers and we'll see where they spotted the 18 move the chains help he offseason acquisitions for the Washington Redskins none more important than this guy right here the things that he has done for them north Turner told us yesterday they tried to sign him a few years ago from the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent they couldn't get it done there were about a hundred thousand dollars short and contract negotiation but this is the type of thing that he brings to your football team he is a passionate football player when he gets that ball on his hands and he will make the first out and a tough catch for you first in Tampa Bay a senior line is Johnson that's intended for Michael Westbrook you know boomer you never want to make too much of something very early in the game but with the way things have stacked up for Detroit coming in on the road for losses in a row batch out no running game already down seven to nothing this becomes a pretty vital defensive stop here it really does and I we talked about it all we every week out when we get out when you're on the road the one thing that you don't want to allow happen so let the crowd get into the game and for the the home team offense just kind of move down the field methodically and score a lot of points you have to somehow create a turnover [Music] Stephen Davis picks up a couple to the 16 but how many times have we seen where games have started out like this where the the one team is just so dominant and all of a sudden things start happening worst injuries start piling up and already Andy heck is gone with the Lions there it is 17 regular season losses two playoff games they have never won a game here the last time the Lions won a road game against the Redskins the Redskins played in Boston in the mid 30s and how impressive is Bobby Ross's job and this year only three guys on this entire Ross a big conversion to Steven Alex for first out of the five [Music] can't let Brad Johnson sit back there pick you apart he's too smart he can read deep fences the nice thing about Brad Johnson I think out that he's finally really realized all of his potential he has a nice touch on the ball he throws a nice deep ball and he's very smart look at this the ball was out before the receiving even turns around Alexander makes a nice catch but that's why quarterbacks like he are so dangerous they have all the intangibles and the ability to see the field and read defenses sorry Peck Otello used to be a long time assistant here in Washington now the lion defensive coordinator is keep trying to stiffen first and goal inside the five if the Redskins win today they go to Tampa next weekend Lions win this game they go to st. Louis next week first and Dan [Applause] davus nearly untouched for the touchdown [Applause] and the block was filmed by Trey Johnson who will go to the Pro Bowl [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well on rice the last thing you want to have to do is to take on a gourd coming around the corner that weighs 330 pounds and tray Johnson is just that he came around the corner and he led Stephen Davis here he comes watch Davis get right in behind him like that Oh a nice play by Trey Johnson [Applause] for the point after so Davis the key on that drive the 58 yard run equaling a postseason record Davis with nine carries now for 73 yards and distinct two touchdowns 14 to nothing [Music] faster more reliable higher-quality more profitable Nortel Networks is building the new high-performance Internet and it can be whatever you want it to be so tell us what do you want the Internet to be come together [Music] Oh for me honey I know it's your birthday tomorrow but mommy has to go where is this trip tell you what you know that new bike you want for your birthday mommy I'll get it for you that new video game huh okay you tell mommy what you want whatever it is you got it hey happy birthday visa platinum exceptional credit limit and worldwide acceptance purchase power [Music] four decades later they're fuel-injected descendant has arrived Chrysler 300m the most powerful sports sedan in its class well I reckon fella could get used to winning in this car Chrysler 300m calling drivers ten best two years running Quan PAML donnelly toyco the biggest names put their reputations on ice cherry lotion USA versus the world did you skating challenge Sunday there's one of the classier men in sports William play for the longtime owner of the Detroit Lions right now a little bit of concern X done his face with his team down 14 to nothing in the first quarter speculate at the seven hi talking and he brings it back out to the 36 through 20 remaining in the opening quarter of this NFC wild-card game 14 to nothing rich skins I'm not doing anything tonight so call me Ronia salmon bad light [Music] with a great taste that won't fill you up and never let you this is the workshop of radicals a one car garage were two young men with $500 in venture capital invented in industry their idea was simple invent something useful and significant or it doesn't leave the garage the idea was so simple it was radical today the company of Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard is being reinvented the original startup will act like one again watch it's kind of like surf food as opposed to Mexican food we're actually in the back of our main corporate office dad or some original investor into the company because this is my retirement money guys are playing with so make it count now that we're growing what we ran into is a lot of red tape I leave all the banking to my little brother Mingo see he's got the short hey that's for Merrill Lynch's stepped-up Tom and Merrill have been real important they saw past as shorts and t-shirts where else in the world can i Chinese guys know Mexican food if this isn't the American dream I don't know what is [Applause] the original is back Sunday on ABC the practice returns tomorrow one of the partners makes a confession you have to see the believe on the practice tomorrow 10:00 Eastern 9 central on ABC above Super Bowl 34 and the NHL all-star game from the 35-yard line first now but hang in the game action on the left side that's the left ankle Tony Ramirez with a fall story [Applause] [Music] this wildcard game is being brought to you by Chrysler giving you back the romance of driving Charles Schwab when we created a smarter kind of investment firm we also created a smarter kind of investor Budweiser delivered fresh daily from our local brewery near you and books technology that's making life a little better all the time [Applause] the rock grows and that's bought by Herman Moore who has been to the Pro Bowl on several occasions in his career but this year two separate knee injuries have rendered him inactive throughout the first half of the season the Lions this year they won all four games against the eventual division champion Seattle Tampa Bay st. Louis and Washington spagett [Applause] the whole against the NFC East champs as Tony Ramirez was moving again they might call this one on the defensive line of the Washington Redskins because they actually moved and then Ramirez reacted to it they're not going to do that [Applause] [Music] Bobby so the same thing you did we'll take a look here and you'll see it's Marco Coleman I believe right here at the bottom of your screen there is in Robert Ramirez reacts to it and that was put in for the express reason that the home team uses the noise and you can hear it right now the offense cannot communicate right now al it's the hardest thing to do on the road in the playoff game to communicate with one another he can go nowhere Marco Coleman wraps him up a minute a hand to go in the opening period thus for rot picked in the seventh round in 94 that was the year the Redskins banked their future on Heath Shuler remember Schuler came out of Tennessee third guy in the drab Barratt was going to be shoulders back up and then two years later Schuler was gone there's Charlie Batch who would be Alliance quarterback [Applause] as explains is he things in and it's intercepted by the rookie Sam Baily as the washing now that interception should go to canard lang he was in the face of Gus Bharat we talked last night to norv turner but how do you defense Gus prot obviously you know what he does well and what he doesn't do well well you got to get in his face you got to disrupt them and you got to make him nervous he does not like to go through his progressions he wants to throw the ball quickly and right there canard Lang hits him and he forces a bad inaccurate pass it has the makings of a rout I don't know how much more you can ask the defense of the Detroit Lions to do especially when you put them on a short field like this a recipe for disaster for the Detroit Lions at the 39 and then Johnson goes deep and the pass is incomplete the coverage was good as Brian Westbrook stayed right with him through the play fake through the pump fake Albert Connelly intended receiver but you're gonna have a flag on the play out it's going to be roughing the passer against I believe Alan Aldridge ooh hits Brad Johnson right in the head before he delivers the football or right as he lets go with a football personal foul [Music] a blitzing linebacker right up the middle and he hits Brad Johnson right in the face mass you can't do it you talk about making your own mistakes and this is exactly what they're doing there's no reason for that [Applause] [Music] responding to the replay

leading at 14 to nothing in the second quarter begins second down at the 22 yard line of Italy centers taking up a yard not one of the real strong suits for Larry centers he's not it's an interesting dynamic the way he plays he's great out in space when you throw him the football and wide patterns and and you give him a chance to get out away from the defense when you hand the ball off the middle for some reason he doesn't see it quite as well he doesn't have the great vision that a lot of the good running backs have but he's a tremendous football player on the outside of the defense and has great hands centers is here leading the team the reception was 69 Brian Mitchell is in the game field on third down and six Johnston to the left side bought by Connell who gets tackled by JB Brown who is able to stop him two yards shy of the first down and now the Redskins will send their field goal unit out onto the field as Scott Cowell Kowski needs some attention for Detroit interesting watching the play of JB Brown he was the cornerback out there kind of hesitated it looked like he could have made a break on the ball for an interception but he sat there and I think right now most of the secondary especially the cornerback for the Detroit Lions a little shaky a little scared about being feet deep and they certainly don't want to cause any more penalties [Applause] Oh that's Cowell Kowski and JB Brown knocking heads so Scott and now sitting up and he will get up the Lions sideline as Brett Conway comes in to attempt a two yard field goal [Applause] [Music] sort of a minor victory for the Detroit defense out they can [Applause] keeping him here giving them a field goal in town unless they fake it because you've got the quarterback Brad Johnson holding so anything could happen 33 yards officially in the settle for the three-point attempt remaining in the opening hampers the Redskins move out to a 17 to nothing lead [Music] you know those people who always know the

in dispute they reviewed it and the play on the field as Paul stood Kevin Dyson making the catch I think the pole was right he goes all the way to the end zone and Tennessee goes all the way into the next round of the playoff oh they had a high replay of that outlet right cause further dispute I don't know while we have replay to get those things correct well we were watching it as we were preparing for this one the penalty here is against the Troy [Applause] that's David Sloane I was going to tell you here now if you're the Detroit Lions you cannot panic obviously you can't keep killing yourself like this going back backwards with penalties you just have to try to methodically move the football down get some sort of points on the football on the board try to collect the bursting 15 and that hits the umpire and it'll be second and 15 combat duty where do they look at a Sinkin terrible Neal Gharib is the fire north turner told us yesterday one go when Gus peratt takes his three-step drops they want to get guys in his face and you can see right here is a tough time seeing downfield and he trying to hit Hermon more behind the umpire I say go down the field down the sideline second and 15 and that's over the middle intended for Sloane and that is incomplete he's covered on the play by Sam shade it'll be third down and 15 anything to loosen it up at all just use your big receivers go down the field look for a pass interference anything it kind of gets you some momentum right now they are struggling with their short passing game they can't run the football they're committing way too many penalties [Applause] third and 15 in the Twitter show the crowd is spilling into it [Music] but he gets tackled at the 28-yard line well short of the first down and it's three and out again for Detroit Shawn barber with the coverage we ran out that goes on first down you have a penalty by Sloane that moved you back third and 15 on the road your success ratio is not going to be very high Brian Mitchell back to receive the kick [Applause] [Music] which a three day the coverage is good for Detroit knocking him back to the 36 yard line there's a marker down back

coach Bobby Ross offensive holding on the wing back repeat the down forth them [Applause] and Bobby Ross was so confident before the game when I was speaking to him ally just said hey you can just keep our wits about us we'll be all right certainly things it kind of unraveled kind of quickly soon as they came out penalties along penalties offsides illegal motion you name it they've done it forced to use a timeout on the first series of the game why didn't mind that because I felt like desperat had hurt his hand and he didn't feel comfortable without about receiving the ball from center okay no problem there conservatively if you're going to and that's fine but since that time it's fine [Applause] pretty much downhill since December 5th when they beat the Redskins in the first grade

field and now Brett Conway will attempt a 23 yard field goal Brad Johnson to put it down and on fourth and one butcha crew with 950 to go in the opening amp Washington leading 20 to nothing and the way Davis came off the field boomer doesn't appear to be serious he ran off the field it looks like they're looking at his left knee he might have been kicked by more carry the safety during the tackle and the way he got up and ran off the field it was like he was running a 40-yard dash it's kind of like the scene of Jerry Maguire wasn't it show me the money love went in will was hurt at the end of the game yes give you some airtime is that the guys name well you were in the movie weren't you yeah but doesn't mean I can remember anything rod Tidwell that was it the area's running off the field doesn't look like there's too much bothering him there but he's the unquestioned leader of this football team you know before this year what was he's not what was he known for he he and Michael Westbrook got into a little fighting and Michael hit him pretty good not getting down now push Michael some money a lot of money right and now all of a sudden he's assumed a leadership role for the Redskins and his rule [Applause] way to kick off [Applause] the goal line-- brings it back to the 23 and he gets popped there by Eddie Mason thank we refer to took place a couple of years ago in training camp there oh man that's Westbrook and Stephen Davis oh-ho and that was that's not a good looking scene right there I was the best that was the biggest story I get for about two weeks you know Michael Westbrook has grown up quite a bit over the last few years and we had asked Norv Turner what was the deal with him and how is he playing so you know he never really had a mentor he never really had anybody show him how to get a he certainly become much home for this year's first year over a thousand yards and receiving trying to get something started and a big run from Schlesinger so quarry who is starting and running back today gets to the 40 again when Sanders retired they had to go to Ron rivers at first and rivers was the silver news backup to Barry Sylvester chrome calling the plays and River was hurt rivers was hurt then they traded for Greg hill from the Rams and he was not really effective while Barry Sanders put this team in a huge hole retiring on July 28th right before training camp foul and they had to go out and try to get somebody back there to hand it off to and that's where Greg Hill came in and certainly he has not lived up to their expectations either from the 40 [Music] and it's almost picked off by Darryl Greene that's in a way in DuPage khalood that the pressure on that time might got the finger on it [Applause] well the thing that I would do is I would be dropping back and throwing the ball deep down the sideline app again that's where your matchups are that's what you want to do that's where you want to exploit it and trying to run little out patterns right here and you can see Darryl Greene still has great trait change of direction and he can read routes better than most quarterbacks in the league he's seen just about everything second and ten [Applause] [Music] with the 8050 and it's caught like Johnny Morton steps out of bounds at the 47 sending up a third down and let's go at four you know going back to Darryl Greene L and there's Bobby Ross we were talking to him before the game now he's been dealing with bronchitis he spent two days in bed this week and you have to wonder where his stamina is right now and I would think that your thought process would be when you get down around first down second down run them down the field and see if you can get them tired and then take advantage of them [Applause] with use 30 new years that's what Jack Betty used to tell us to and the slant board looks with a flag doesn't get it the coverage is by green I'd rather be green and this is what your tartan you can see fraud is screaming he wants pass interference but when you're going against an older cornerback like this he knows how to read routes he watches a lot of film and he can make the brake on the ball he's there quickly and you have to wonder why you know you think officials give a guy like that a little bit of a break I don't know what mice you only think if I was if I were gusts pirata I'd be screaming that you're giving him a break because it's Darryl Greene you do build up some courage day after 16 Darrel's case 17 seasons [Applause] jets kick six in the lion's den a break as the ball dies on the turf and six guard line no.9 to the hand with Washington leading Detroit 20 [Music] when it comes to traditional luxury it's anything but more of the same introducing the all-new 2014 with

tomatoes tomatoes are key I mean pickles and tomatoes are like the yin and yang of the whopper look you get your yin and yang and leave my onions alone okay but you're wrong hey it's just a choice yeah and you choose to be wrong I'm Mike and I'm Jack and that's my smile was my whopper and it's why too much [Music] just when you think you have the latest computer you don't but for 37 dollars a

Redskins fans Steven Davis after 119 yards and two touchdowns is out for the game with a mild sprain of his right knee it was somewhat hyper-extended on the last play is enormous ly disappointing news for him and for the team al all right Thank You Leslie at least one as a 22 nothing lead they have skip Knicks replacing them and here's our first linkage skip up to the 9 so dangerous went down and then he trotted off the field we showed you that while we're in commercial then played the tape for you it appeared to be fine but he's done for the rest of the day and now they have to think about next week if there isn't a quick no I said at the beginning of the game we'll see how long Stephen Davis could last and this is the point where he leaves the game now we have to wonder whether or not the momentum will switch to the side of the Detroit Lions you saw the big plays that he brought to this offense a lot of pressure on skip picks tried it trying to duplicate that right now you can see the Redskins are a little bit out of sync of sorts having a call timeout right here what even nothing Washington 30sec on top time with 7:35 left in the hand [Music] [Applause] [Music] we love you Detroit was last night want to get away now you can fly Southwest Airlines coast-to-coast for 99 dollars or less when you purchase tickets by February 2nd and travel Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday you are now free to move about the country almost a surreal scene in the dusk here in our nation's capital just outside actually Landover Maryland is where we are as play resumes second down and eight from the nine yard lines put even nothing Washington and this is hooks again and he gets bunched up at the 11 yard line and you got there by Stephen Boyd and now you can see right now all of a sudden the running game isn't what it was when Steven Davis was in in the game and Joey on we talked about it if you lose a guy like Stephen Davis now what do you do now all of a sudden somebody else has got to try to pick up the slack and skip Hicks but now we should start seeing a little bit more of Westbrook and Connell downfield and Larry's centers in the third down package this is where the Detroit defense for the first time has got a chance to make a play right here at this exact spot third down and five and makin funk and deep in their own territory they've defensive play for Detroit centers makes the catch and was that spin move still can't picked up the first down so the Lions are able to hold s Lamar Campbell's stopping him and Washington will have to punt from deep in its own territory you can see that Steven Davis is the heartbeat of the offense and without him out there three plays and out for the first time Matt Turk Avani laser came eleiza he fumbles at the 48 yard line and then recovers in himself at the 45 yard line [Applause] so Detroit gets it at the Washington 45 he ruled the ring back to no one the world's premier Muhammad Ali king of the world Monday at 9:00 Eastern 8:00 central on ABC the home of Super Bowl 34 in the NHL all-star game now I've been I've played in games just like this where you get down and all of a sudden I've been on both sides of the ball where thee the team that's up Connor relaxes a little bit and then all of a sudden a big play kind of ignites and you get moment back on your side 20 points is not a lot of points in the down at the 45 [Applause] especially not against a Washington that is next-to-last to believe [Applause] and they look like anything but the next-to-last [Music] dan wilkinson takes care of flushing her [Applause] Big Daddy and I played together in Cincinnati he was a huge disappointment for the Cincinnati Bengals they had pinned their hopes on both he and Kijana Carter both first-round draft choices at the top of the drafts and he was traded here and I was asking Norv Turner last night about his development he says he's gone okay for us not a ringing endorsement yeah but for the money he's making he's got to be better than okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] immortan covered by green third them watching Gus fought you could see what Norv Turner was telling us he has a little trouble getting to a second or third receiver that time he was reading to his right came all the way across the formation and then through an inaccurate football so morph Turner's defending him much better this time around time fought like the Lions themselves let's better home 60 of these Oviedo hit fumble loose at the 43 yard line and Detroit is able to recover as sand shade came in this lives the football and Jeff Harding's at least for the moment saves the day for Detroit [Music] this is just an all-out blitz to the backside of Gus Marat and Sam shade comes clean and Gus has got to see that he's got to get rid of the football this is not a blocking problem this is just basic defense where they beat you and you'll see Sam shade come right up the middle right there and you can see that he's untouched Gus peratt's got to see that and make the play and deliver the football get rid of it [Music] - ball four by Mitchell 455 remaining in the half Washington with the ball back and a 20 to nothing lead this wildfire playoff game is being brought to you by Cadillac the power of and the fusion of design and Technology etrade the number one place to invest online Bud Light for the great taste that won't fill you up and never lets you down make it a Bud Light and ten ten to twenty diamond and your long-distance goals could cost under a buck while the Lions squander an opportunity they have the ball for the first time over the Redskins 50 and don't make anything out of it and their defense the defense basically comes up with a big stop but again a lion defense is going to have to force a turnover make a play score some points kind of break loose a little bit from a senior to skip Hicks who picks up about three it'll be second down seven Redskins with a victory would go to Tampa next weekend if Detroit wins this game as the number 68 the lowest seeded team in the NFC they would then play the highest c2 team and the high seed is the st. Louis Rams well I wouldn't put him in Tampa Bay just yet from the in Levi's time then throws caught 32-yard Westbrook his first perception of the game look at Brad Johnson see how big he is you don't think that he has the type of movement that would enable him to get out of the pocket make a play like that but he's a terrific athlete that time it was chased by Robert O'Shea and nice catch on the sideline by Michael Westbrook keeping his feeding ground close close to a juggling act six and eleven for 57 yards to go back to the ground they give it to Hicks he takes it out to the 13th we are now watching this you could see with no Steven Davis all of a sudden the offense just doesn't look quite as dynamic as it did earlier in the game you have that power run back running back like that so many things kind of grow up play-action passes he makes guys miss he makes great runs and kind of inspires his offensive lineman as well also reflected in the crowd yes you can hear why they're wondering why he's not out it has not been anounced the risk is bad but they know that he's not out there Zeca Donnelly the decibel level about half his books is alone when Stephen was in the game dicks and he gets out to the 46 for that go bulls by Brian Westbrook under three minutes now to the head and mrs. Brad Johnson not forcing anything downfield and skip Hicks is a a good receiver he can make guys miss but it's just the quarterback finding the open zone and just taking it and just giving his running back an opportunity to make some plays with the football first in Ted Washington from the 46 yard line [Applause] - the time to go teeth and it is somehow almost caught by Westbrook but incomplete he couldn't hang on covered by Bryant West's renewal relation and you can see Brian Westbrook pleading his case he thought that Michael Westbrook actually pushed off and he probably did get away with a little bit but when you look back at the beginning of the play Larry centers makes a nice block on a blitzing safety to enable Brad Johnson to get the ball downfield but take a look at this let's see let's see if Michael Westbrook gets away with a push here I with my elbows shaking yep like the no flag suck at that time thirty-six Hicks sad pitch to the 39-yard and that takes us to the two-minute warning two minutes to the hands Washington Redskins 20 and the Detroit Lions nothing [Music] [Applause] we love you Detroit was last night want to get away now you can fly Southwest Airlines coast-to-coast for 99 dollars or less when you purchase tickets by February 2nd and travel Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday you are now free to move about the country gene by one of them tech stocks now

it's the start of a brand new century the next millennium will be spectacular time for one show that's ahead of its time an all-new sports night Tuesday 9:30 8:30 central on ABC back in Washington have you missed it earlier the Tennessee Titans winning in a thriller on a lateral pass from Frank wycheck the Kevin Dyson to knock off Buffalo boomer they put replay in for situations like that they got it right on the field and replay confirmed they got it right well you think they got it right I'm not so sure any but you know that's what it's all about last year as you see Stephen Davis leaving the field last year New York Jets Seattle game Vinny Testaverde with and to reclaim was because of that is to make sure that the team that wins the game is the team that's supposed to win the game right without any interference or wrong calls at least they had the mechanism in place can you imagine how they made the wrong call in that Buffalo Tennessee game and then it was confirmed that it was wrong in a replay and you didn't have the machinery in place at least the machineries in place now a few bumps no question about that but certainly it is I think it's been effective this year and it certainly works it will get better as we go on second down Jackson retreats and that is part of the 11-yard line taken in by he gets up in Busan [Applause] judson to cuddle now it's just Connell one-on-one with Brian Westbrook and he does a nice job of selling the fake outside comes across the middle I think Brian Westbrook is going to have a hard time sleeping tonight take a look at this it's a nice setup inside turns Westbrook around and then he comes back out against the grain very nice play by Connell [Music] the Redskins have okay of their six possessions anyway for the point after three touchdowns two field goals a 27 to nothing lead [Applause] at least the beginnings of an itinerary for a trip to Florida well [Music] they go to Tampa if they win the game then we talked about the Titan bills game if you've been out during the day and haven't seen this yet after Buffalo had taken a two-point lead with seconds to go in the game it was Frank wycheck land rolling it to Kevin Dyson of the 25-yard line it is very close I thought I thought it was the the right goal confirmed and but made that play work out the kickoff kicked us back to the town and 5-yard line they wouldn't have had a chance to run that play and then Dyson was able to go 75 yards down the sideline and score and the final score was 22 to 16 [Music] [Applause] so the Titans move on and the bills have a long long the winter that they [Music] by a big margin like the Detroit Lions 18 Cedric Irvin brings it back to these 29 the skins have scored on five of their six possessions and the Lions have punted on five of their six and the other possession ended with an interception that is fugly with a capital u you know what you don't see there ow is the skins were lining up for a punt the Lions committed a penalty running into the punter and gave the ball back to Washington so in essence two turnovers very early in the game that came in the very first story [Applause] that is caught by Jermaine Pro Elle he's up to the 40-yard line that's a first down but if they can get some points on here at least they can go into locker room with some momentum and feel good about something that they accomplished they have two timeouts 50 seconds to the head throws on its draft by Mort plating over the middle and you can see Mike knowing blitzing they're not just sitting back in some sort of prevent defense he wants the forest Gus froth to make the decisions and seems to me a little bit right now that Gus is a little bit shaky in the pocket and this guy here Mike no one's been under so much scrutiny this year so much so that they bring in Bill Owens Barger but the last few weeks they've played very well so we have at the Alexis halftime show for some Steve from New York to the village Jenkins games second down that's tipped up in the air picked off at the 44 by Matt Stephens who led the team in interceptions during the regular season was six it was tipped by a new quick Balu they pass rush specialist and that's why he is in in situations like that he has done that time and again this year gets his hand up puts the pressure on the quarterback there's a flag down at the end of the play at the 44 yard line [Music] personal foul number 23 after the play ended of the intercepting team that's a 15-yard penalty they keep them all first now Stevens have to be angry about I don't know maybe somebody did something to matter provoke man I think Tony temple the left guard for the Lions came down and gave a little shove afterwards I'm not sure if that was him but we'll see Kalu does a nice job of getting his hands up and it falls seems like it's up there forever yep there is simple coming in late and there's Stevens jam in the ball into space yes the penalty should open on sample it's like I said a lot of hockey fights you don't see the first hit and the other guy winds up in the penalty box to go back to Kalu his nickname is ND and ku means god of thunder Andy buh how about that al he is thunderous he is the especially the bathroom they give it to Brian Mitchell and he takes it to the 45 of Detroit [Music] Washington takes a timeout mark carrier makes the tackle one timeout left for the skids Allen I tell you story in 1984 that man right there Bobby Ross was the head coach at the University of Maryland I was a rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals his team was down 31 to nothing to the University of Miami of Florida he took his team in at halftime and absolutely ripped them in for about 15 minutes it was basically laced into his football team guy by name of Frank Reich came out and he led them back to an improbable victory the greatest comeback in NCAA history 42 to 40 can they do it again Homer I love the way you keep an audience huh I tell you you've learned I'm very good I'm trying man I am trying you want to bring up the bills Oilers game from a couple of years ago you know who that quarterback was right right right he's that's dropped by Stephen Alexander well Bobby Bobby I would imagine we'll have a few choice words at halftime when you see Bobby Ross there you he's not a big guy he he's not an imposing figure but the words that come out of his mouth it's he's an amazing coach he really is and what Barry Sanders did to this football team prior to the season is so shocking because he wrote him a ten page letter they tried to contact him about 15 different times Bobby wrote Barry that 10 page letter and they tried to contact 15 times and nothing and told July 28 and then they've the contact was I retired in a statement [Music] bass centers makes it to the 39 then tries to flip the ball out of bound to save a totem ad for the official is their answers no keep the clock wound down and they have to take the time out Larry centers is always thinking those with the instincts of a great football player especially when he's near the sideline also dangerous at times boomer with Barry Sanders by the way having retired there is an arbitration hearing in San Francisco before an arbitrator by the name of Sam Kegel has been around a long time as arbitrated a lot of major cases through the years the liens paid Barry an 11 million dollar signing bonus when they signed him to his deal that is now in effect and Barry wants to keep the money liens say you owe us 5.5 million dollars what the Sanders camp would also like to have happen is they are it's my understanding going to offer the five point five back if they give Barry his thank you [Applause] Johnson going for the endzone that's broken up at the last moment broken up by Bryant Westbrook Brian finally made a play but outlet go back to Barry Sanders there's no way the Lions are going to release him I mean that's basically the crux of all NFL contracts the teams want to be able to there's mr. Ford the owner of the Detroit Lions they'll never let him go I mean they want a control player movement and that's a way to do it well another look at the play here a nice tee by Bryant westbrook the chuck schmidt their general manager before the game he says Barry is our player is on our roster if he stays retired that's fine he comes back he's our player will welcome him back well the interesting thing is going to be the salary cap situation for the Detroit Lions of next year this is a fourth down play fourth and three [Applause] get out a lot of contact down inside the five and then it's knocked down by more carrier with four seconds to play in the hell dunno feed I think he was trying to catch it it'd be a tough spot to catch it now if you're the Detroit Lions give it a shot throw it down the field you have nothing to lose right he's trying to actually catch that ball which would have cost them about so after 80 yards it worked out for them but I would think that if you're the Detroit Lions you have nothing to lose and you have all these big receivers just let them run down the field and throw it and see what happens see if it can make something out of it the Redskins got three guys about a mile [Applause] I'm watching it else these are gone it's caught but they're going to stop him about three yards shy of the goal line Herrmann down with the bouncing ball the deflected football but couldn't get in you never know never knowing I don't know why more teams just don't do that the hand cannot end more frustratingly for the Detroit Lions dominated by Washington 27 to nothing is the score and the Lions come this close to making it 27 700 boy 2 yards but it's 27 to nothing does that have Alexis halftime New York and back we come after this message from the NFL and award for ABC stations [Music] well I will tell you that I'm sure that Bobby Ross was in there just absolutely lighting into everybody [Applause] doing to the and players cried Hanson's Beck fielded at the 13 yard line by Mitchell who fakes a handoff and brings us back out to the 22 yard line 27 to nothing our halftime score let's check in with Lesley Visser lesson out boomer is absolutely right Bobby Ross says that that first of all there are too many penalties they already have eight he said we're not getting enough pressure on Brad Johnson we're letting them run at will and he said our offense is not giving our own quarterback Gus enough protection he said the people are breaking down they're getting beat and he said I told them in the end play with pride until the end of this game al and we will see how that manifests itself here in the second half as the skins take over at their own penny to our block first and ten against Steve as Dave this is John for the game after a brilliant beginning this is skip X Davis with a knee injury played through the first quarter and a half 15 carries for 119 yards accounting for almost all of the Washington rushing offense with Davis picking up a total of 119 of the skins 154 you see the two turnovers for the Detroit Lions basically only three points but in their first series they ran into the park and basically gave a first down back to the Redskins and went out and scored a touchdown what was it sector's bait to catch takes it out to the 31 little short of the first down tackle there by Chris play board you take a look at the 275 total yards by the Redskins total domination they basically did whatever they want and got it and basically got a hit a helping hand the Detroit Lions who could not move the ball at all 26 plays 117 total yards not pretty if your Detroit lion player 117 yards and 96 penalty yards out a lot of them at the end on that pass - Herman war that resulted in pumping Fishman 96 yards instead of a Washington the best curry converting third and one normally with Steven Davis doing the dirty work this time it's skip fix converting out to the 38 yard line it just run right in behind number 52 Corey Raymer Trey Johnson 77 there right guard and Keith Sims and when you have those types of players in the middle like that third and one doesn't seem so difficult from the 37-yard line center motion it's after the 40-yard line if X was their number three draft pick in 98 but is college football at UCLA and he and Steven Davis were listed as co-equals on the depth chart at the beginning of training camp this summer now the good thing about the points the way they are right now in favor of the Redskins they're just going to keep handing the ball to skip Hicks and keep this clock moving maybe we'll be able to catch our flights out of here to stay triple overtime second anime those that is caught by Michael Westport his forward progress takes him to the 49 yard line that will move the change the Lions defense have got to wonder what do they have to do to get to Brad Johnson that time Stephen Boyd comes flying through untouched and Johnson still has the presence to stand in there take the hit and deliver the ball now watch Steven boy come right up the middle and you have to wonder what does it take to get to him this is obviously a different set of circumstances than they had the last time they played in the Silverdome just look at his face look how calm and poised he looks 31 years old has got a very fair to state fires it over the middle it has picked off at the 35 yard line by Steve and boy then you've got Junction getting into a fight with Robert Porsche a so the quarterback and the big defensive end getting into a fight back away went down there is the referee at the bottom of the pile flags heard that out of course this will be an interesting call on on the on the fight and see whether or not Bob McElwee decides to throw somebody out of the game here how those guys are swinging at each other exactly how about if he decides to throw bread Johnson out of the game you got to give gotta give Johnson credit gone for Porche but you usually want to do that when your offensive linemen are around so you can seem tough and you don't really have to fight but those guys pick it up for me now you've got a rugby scrum and another flag and this is this is probably all precipitated by the tongue lashing that Bobby Ross gave his team they're not going to take anymore oh look at this and he's thinking about and then the back judge gets whacked ray Johnson hits the back judge in the back of the head that is bill leaving ooh boy he's one of the great guys too you know we deal with them a whole time before games and I don't know what trade Johnson's thinking about but you got to catch yourself and you got a hole you got to hold back and right now you're doing all the things that the Detroit Lions want you to do but yet a pick by Boyd had a fight with Johnson unfortunate roughness against butenes if didn't play and then we have an unsportsmanlike on number 77 Washington 15 yards so that is a Pro Bowl Gard tray Johnson who is ejected so they're missing tray Johnson the Pro Bowl Gard Andy heck the left tackle with a hamstring injury went out of the first quarter so it's a totally revamped line and here's Porche and Johnson that precipitated it and you know what's going on here al Johnson had just thrown the interception defensive linemen all of a sudden look at the quarterback is fresh meat he is no longer protected and they can go after him and defensive line coaches and defensive coordinators in the NFL basically tell their guys to go get the quarterback because he is free he is no longer protected as if he would if he had the ball in his hands and then you saw Brad Johnson with that angelic look and now exhorting the crowd know about that and there goes tray Johnson he's going I don't know what he's so happy about this game is nowhere near over take a look and see what happened with Trey Johnson let's see what happens here [Applause] [Music] he's losing his balance you know they get the question now arises they'll get to a decision bend it at the 45 yard line [Applause] [Music] the game throws at his drop that's incomplete when a guy gets flown out of the game as Johnston did and even though he's not looking to hit the official as if he was losing his balance the question is is he subject to suspension it's something that dilute the leak reviews because if you get suspended right now and Washington wins that means you're suspended next week in Tampa and take a look at this you could see Trey Johnson right here I don't know how he's trying who's he trying to get to it looks like he's trying to get to I can't see the number might have been Tracy strong another 97 laughter laughs he gets sacked so emotions very high on both sides of the line right now penalty flag comes in that's Dan wilkinson this looks like the WWF right now and they gonna have a penalty on the defense facemask probably on Dan wilkinson [Applause] I mean have the Redskins come apart here or what [Applause] we saw a Norv Turner talking to Brad Johnson earlier is probably tell me look we just gotta calm everybody's got to calm down here with it we have this game in the bag of if we just stay within the game and don't lose our poise and that's what exactly what the Lions have done they forced the Redskins out of their game right now they've forced them out of the game and they have forced them to play the rest of the game without Steven Davis without Trey Johnson to Pro Bowl guys into that but faculae in DHEC the good news of course is that they're leading 27 to nothing and they're just looking they're looking at the time I believe right now thinking that there might be some more time put back on the clock when Bob McElwee got thrown to the ground as microphone went out yeah I think you're right he's trying to get everybody to reset the clock it's not like I want to put some more time on the clock they can't communicate over the PA system he's going to want to come over here he's gonna want to get on the phone and he's gonna want to call upstairs and say hey look put some more time back on the clock in terms of length of service as a referee bob is now the senior guy on the league this is his 20th year as a ref and they're on the phone now all then collect if they they had at nine seconds to the clock is what he communicated ups to these they added nine seconds and then they start the clock anyway well at least at the entity started from eleven nineteen otherwise they would have started at 11:10 and Detroit is appreciated they'll take every second they could get right now down by four thousand back first downs in the 38-yard [Applause] oh and an easy pick by Evans and he couldn't hold on you know watching Gus pirata he's just uncomfortable back there he's not going through his reach he's got some guys open he can't find them happy feet he's got some happy feet and right now they really have nowhere else to turn [Applause] poof tip by Derrick Smith and then Evans will never have an easier pick [Applause] second down and ten there is Corey slaughter and he's the backup quarterback and he's never taken a snap in the NFL game so Gus you're it no matter what second example authority under pressure again set back at the 45-yard line that's coluan Wilkinson in Ottawa when you take a three strap drop like us fraud has been doing today you have to make the decision you would have to get rid of the football you can talk about protecting your quarterback the quarterback has to protect themselves one two three throw it get rid of it now don't hold on to it when I see that I see a quarterback that's not seeing the field you might be seeing ghosts down the field he does not want to throw the ball he does not want to chance it and he could take a look at his percentages [Applause] that is on his shoulders [Music] rating of 17.5 and he gets sex again sand shade [Music] five sects for the Redskins same shade on the safety blitz since we run right into the shadows fourth down you have to get rid of the ball in the face of a blitz especially when Sam shade comes through and he's not picked up that's the responsibility of the quarterback right now Gus Parata is not giving his chant is team a chance to score any points or move the football [Applause] by Chet but he gets the kick away there's a flag that was just thrown it been filled the Lions will at least for the moment down it inside the 5-yard line and we'll check out the penalty call downfield because of the drop snap now there's your Center Mike Compton screaming at his offensive linemen saying this is ridiculous [Applause] and the special teams coach will be screaming here as well he instead of Washington being pinned inside the five the Troy's gonna be forced to kick again should be no discussion here take the penalty let's go kick it over they're coming back Bob's mic not working can you read lips five-yard penalty and mean illegal land downfield liens this year allowing 64 sacks time for the most ever by a playoff team well you do the math on it that means they allow four sacks per game we want a quarter there plus ten in turnover ratio which means that the quarterbacks are holding on to the ball and Phillip maybe boosting interception they'll Compton continues to read the riot act the offensive line check the hunt again [Music] make some fair cash with the 13-yard line 57 to go in the third Washington 27th Detroit sip [Applause] we love you Detroit was last night want to get away now you can fly Southwest Airlines coast-to-coast for 99 dollars or less when you

back Sunday on ABC aerial camera provided by Southwest Airlines the stadium three-years-old Gilda's jet can cook stadium and became park now it's FedEx Field and a reminder Indians TV is online you can log in at ESPN or nfl.com from the 13 yard line watch the first down it's fixed and he gets dragged down in the backfield by the safety rod rice now you could see that Larry Peck Otello the defensive coordinator for the lines is trying to force the issue now and he certainly has his guys revved up there they're all disgusted on the sidelines the Detroit Lions you're gonna try to do anything right now and it's dangerous playing against the team like that the like this it's going to take chances they will force turnovers if you're not careful second and 13 skins from the 10-yard line it's back to about the original line of scrimmage this stadium part of the the sale when jack kent cooke died his son john tried to buy the team trying to put a group together couldn't come up with enough money and it winds up in the hands of daniel snyder who's in his mid 30s made a lot of money there is Dan in the Communications business tonight our communications grew up as a fan talking to before the game and coming to games as he was three years old and winds up buying the team and of course it was Dan Snyder who has gotten a tremendous amount of publicity not only here but around very hands-on style as Panza ron johnson by porsche a that time back at the 6 yard line and it's funny when you talk to people tonight and um Scooby I'm sure you could feed Johnson just getting you know tired of poor Shane landing on him and shoving him down to the ground they meant it and earlier about where Shane makes his acquaintance again one thing about being a hands-on owner you know what if I spend any hundred billion dollars on something hey the players love them they seem to love him and it's a nice fire brimstone guy but certainly he is fourth and 17 they cut and [Music] a lazy K brings it back to the 45 and we have another flag [Applause] certainly this looks like a different defense and special teams on the best on the part of the Lions now if their offense will wake up a little bit s12 tell 15-yard facemask [Music] that's a 15-yard first down with a 21-2 go in the third period Washington on top 27 to nothing there's your face man Stephens [Applause] [Music] [Music]

encased in that scaffolding as Detroit hazard of the 29 this is their deepest penetration Seanie corner rod rivers and that's a loss of two to the 31 Stubblefield the first to get there anything to complete a pass and let's run a screenplay and let's see what happens you actually lose two yards on it I still don't know why they're not going after Darryl Greene a little bit more down the sideline use Herman Warren as height advantage go against the rookie Champ Bailey from Georgia see see what you can get something down the field make it simple for Gus bye this is a three step ER and a pass that gets deflected at the line of scrimmage neither ladies love is is totally out of sync he is not seeing the field he's not fluid and you want it goes back maybe to the first play of the game now and Greg Jones a linebacker blitzed untouched forest less injure misses a block and just drills Gus Farhat and hurts his left hand his non throwing hand from that point on he has just looked totally uncomfortable bow-bow me to throw out that 58 yards Creek play at the end of the half he's throwing for 41 yards in the game [Applause] there it is green best gets rid of the ball just before he gets the level or Shawn barber tried to level them you're gonna have holding back here against the Lions but right there at the end of that play Gus peratt's running down the sideline and just tries to flip the ball and it's almost intercepted [Applause] it's just he's not thinking and he's not playing well and he's not seeing the field holding number 62 up and 10-yard penalty [Music] [Applause] bill aren't spar Gerdes brought about bill of course was the great defensive coordinator and in fact he was on Bobby Ross's staff when Bobby took the Chargers to the Superbowl of 90 Phil at one point was the head coach of the Giants was with Miami named defense they brought him eating raising funds for LSU Alabama season [Applause] jump ball down why not yep why not yeah you might as well at this point was shot Darryl Greene locking it down and Darryl Greene made the play but sooner or later you're going to have to take a shot [Applause] look Johnny Morton's probably not the guy that I would want out there I mean although he is a tremendous receiver he's just not the biggest of the receivers Herman Moore with that wingspan right Johnny is six even in Moore's sit Explorer [Applause] Pirela 6-3 and on fourth down Detroit forced to take a timeout 7:25 left in the third crowd roaring why not 27 nothing home field [Music] whoa cool cuz I will cite this course is cool cool oops myth about car insurance cool insurance over 300 companies I'm hot for this instant is good and the best quote is graphics are totally lame yeah but the quotes are blow you away vote smith.com have you ever said

save the world my son save the world gary oldman and bruce willis of the element tonight 8:00 7:00 central on ABC fast 7:25 left in the third reminder Super Bowl Sunday coming up on the 30th Phil Collins among those who you will see on the e-trade Super Bowl 34 halftime show coming your way from Atlanta on the 30th of January right here on ABC let's see it take a timeout you decide to kick or I don't get it waste of time John check Thank You thick gets it away Green falls down the ball at the 4 yard line now if Washington wins as we have told you the Redskins go to Tampa that means that the Minnesota Dallas winner tomorrow goes to st. Louis well if they go to Tampa they're going without Andy heck possibly without ray Johnson and possibly without Steven Davis but now they're all out of the game and in the AFC if Seattle wins tomorrow they go to Indianapolis and then Tennessee will go to Jacksonville if Miami wins tomorrow they go to Jacksonville and Tennessee would go to Indianapolis Detroit no running this year no running game today [Applause] to the six you know one thing we started to talk about Dan Schneider before he'll get even more fresh now that Washington appears to be ready to advance if you don't know I mean you just read about him a lot of what's been written about him has been very negative but I've been talking to people that I respect in the media here one of them would be Tony Kornheiser who knows this town as well as anybody says wait a second don't believe a lot of the garbage he is very committed to this theme he's not a great job so far and but this is here's and here's a lot he has more fans than you would think and this is a team that has not been in the playoffs for a long time they're here now and he's basically the guy that's the difference second Idol date and this is Skip picks up to the 10-yard line there's no he's definitely brought an edge to the Washington Redskins and you need to have an edge if you're gonna win in the NFL I think you know what what might turn some people off when they read in here about it is they they expect somebody to come in and get their feet wet well Dan apparently is not that kind of a guy Dan came in and both headfirst into the pool what do you call 803 million bucks right get your feet wet with 800 800 3 million buttons that right we'll do a cannon to light it down that ship and it's incomplete but the bottom line is they didn't make a playoff appearance for six years into the old regime and here that they are right now on the cusp of advancing I was talking to a couple people that follow the Redskins on a daily basis and they talked about Dan Snyder in north turner the relationship there and like I was saying earlier Norv is not like a Vince Lombardi screaming your face type of guy and Dan Snyder is so maybe a little bit of norms patience and the aggressiveness of Dan Snyder's has led this game to the playoffs near midfield almost look like curling there for a moment Curtis Buckley giving it that old the Canadian swoosh Detroit Falls [Music] [Music] why is it that every city every town every neighborhood no matter where you are in the world I'll have something in common a place for people to come together [Music] it's quite simple humans are social watch [Music] that's why we fly more places than anyone else because it's important for the human race to stay united to freedom adventure it puts me at one with natural elements liberating allows me to clear my head one of the few things I can do whereby I actually don't hear music in my head brings me closer to God allows me to to bask in the the wonder of God being at the top of a mountain is one of the most incredibly beautiful experiences I've ever had one point six times a week a new year last year it was 3.9 a new resolution I need more seks and all new practice returns ABC Sunday 10:00 9:00 central [Applause] 548 left in the third quarter FedEx Field [Music] Lesley Visser @s she want our game earlier today Tennessee America finished 57 to [Applause] the pastor is drop [Applause] the Lions have not run the ball once in this half Daryl green bronchitis this week barely practiced with at the age of 39 who needs practice especially when you have a day like today bronchitis and all and the flu bug and the rash that he was in bed all day Wednesday and poked around on Thursday walk through practice on Friday and today field our vacant play after Flavin's going [Applause] his guys could normally hear my call for example by Tim Denton I would have to say being your two-minute offense let's keep moving in here boys let's see if we get something going and that's what they're doing you think maybe if he completes a few passes in a row he'll be able to get some confidence back and start moving the ball downfield six mill 43-yard he throws that one into the back of his own alignment Sonne simple blocking dan wilkinson that time well you don't want to belabor the point but when you see Happy Feet and you see indecision and see you guys pulling the ball back he's not reading it well and he's not seeing the field well and they're compelled to go for it down by 27 with 20 minutes left in the game fourth and six at the 43 that's what they blitz and he's able to converge so they keep the ball first and Johnny Morton makes the catch and he's out of bounds at the 20-yard line at time the offensive line does a nice job of keeping the defensive line on the Redskins out one of the few times today Gus parot has a nice open pocket back there and he can deliver the ball and throws a strike Darryl Greene gets turned around by Johnny Morton give him some protection give him some time maybe he can get some of the confidence back took detroit 40 minutes to gain [Applause] to the 14-yard line it's 58 of that hundred Fullmer came on that wacky end of the first half past the Hermit war so they the defense you know it's the it's the all-time cliche the much-maligned retconned even try this and that well they have risen to the occasion today over a lot of the help coming Ferguson target he's going to say the other part of the equation how many calls have been patted said that including that one right there that was a Duke a clue Bobby Ross said hey our quarterbacks got to be hot he's got to be on the mark today he's got to be able to see the field and it's been anything but that for ghost fraud and and really what has turned out to be a nightmare returned for him third and four at the 14th there's movement on the right side of the line that's Juan Roque who will turn a third and four into a third and nine [Applause] now from up here I can see a matchup of mermen more versus Champ Bailey the rookie and I'm thinking that you have to at least once go after that just to see what happens [Applause] and you're talking about a perennial more going and his moments in the sun's certainly this season but has had some games where he struggled and now his fine McMillon five seven and a third of an elite bankers going through five more and it's poor thing the frustrating thing right now for the Detroit Lions have nowhere else to turn it's Gus Parata or nobody you could just think you can just take a look at the way he's walking out there that his confidence is shot worth bringing back again I mean slaughter who's the sound of the backup quarterback has not thrown a pass all season and Charlie Beck's who's their regular quarterback suffered his second thumb injury of the season last week that's why he's not starting there's Charlie the good news on Charlie is after an examination this week he won't need surgery the bad news is he can't throw a pass and they put him in the game for the nine that one into the back of the endzone and has picked off out of the end zone by Champ Bailey but it doesn't matter he is Washington gets it back anyway on downs 406 left in the third and the Redskins already thinking about the Buccaneers [Music] we've had success with that really oh yeah our company's made huge strides in e-commerce no no who hasn't we've got web-based order tracking we can analyze our customer data in all kinds of ways I mean it's it's amazing oh yeah well what's the same with us yeah so how did you guys integrate your ERP burp confused about e-business don't be get the software services and partners that make it easier the business internet starts with Microsoft my dad was a coach at Georgia School for the Deaf I grew up in an environment where deaf kids kind of adopted me in their culture thank all of you for coming to the camp today when I first

Dorothy Hamill leads a team of USA's elite skaters against the world's best Michelle Kwan and Todd Eldredge also performing in the Carrie lotion USA versus the world figure skating challenge this is skip picks hit the skids Hammond taking it up to the 25-yard line a gain of about six tackled there by Ron right well the good thing is is that now at least the offense of the Redskins will have a chance to work in some of their players and take a look this just happened on the sidelines that's germane Crowe L basically yelling at the center Mike Compton right there tensions afraid when you're on the sidelines of a game like this and you're baked basically getting your butt kicked I start screaming to each other and it gets ugly and you're getting a kick for the fifth consecutive week is caught at the 47 by Westbrook and no they say no didn't have control of it didn't have possession when his feet came down it's incomplete at least the last couple weeks know how offensively they were able to move the ball and last week in Minnesota Charlie Batch was on fire Jim horn told me that he was playing great he was hot making all the right weeds and decisions this game they haven't even come close to mounting any offense right on centers and offensive linemen as we look at Compton here I mean these guys are as intense as they come and when things aren't going well want to make sure their buddy knows that this phone here's Mitchell and Brian takes it out to the 36 yard line for a first down as he converts rod rice with the tackle Washington Monument Capitol electing cool [Music]

bullying the Detroit Lions all over the field today ka-ching Larry takes it across the 50 to the Detroit 47 yard line [Applause] the great thing about Larry centers he knows where he is on the football field he knows he wants to stay in bounds and he doesn't shy away from licks I can tell you he actually is looking for people to hit outside and when he has the football and one of the great things that he does that doesn't get a lot of play he does a great job of chip blocking in the backfield slowing down the pass rush of the defensive ends hitting them in the ribs when they come around the slide the centres of attention takes it down the 43 yard line 43 yard line tackle by Chris Claiborne with the clock ticking down to the one minute mark third quarter north turner he got this job after he was the offensive coordinator of Dallas Cowboys won back-to-back Super Bowls nor of under Jimmie Johnson came here and it's been an up-and-down five years up until this year and this one has really been an up-and-down season but they're very much on the upswing the LED turns to January nearly picked off by Robert Bailey down Brad Johnson not only did they pick up Brad they gave away three top traffic's a one-in-three in the last draft and a two in 2000 of Minnesota but what they did is they made a trade with New Orleans remember Washington was very instrumental in that Saints trade that enabled New Orleans to get Ricky Williams and thus the Redskins will have the number two pick in the draft this year the number 12 pick that's Carolina's pick and the Shawn Gilbert thing and then their own food they are in great shape in April in section this is mixture to the 35 now you brought that up to North turn before the game is it no now I'm not even thinking about that right now we talked to so many coaches they tell you how it's just a year-round job trying to manipulate all the different things and whether it be salary cap draft choices free agency and you can see right there how intense he still is he doesn't want his team to let down 27 to nothing basically having their way with the one things I think he's out a little fun too yeah you don't see you coach smiling with 15

skip it you know as great a stadium as this is in one of the new stadiums and it was nothing like playing in RFK though I've known as a special place 55,000 people the stands would be shaken they'd be jumping up and down and it's just a tremendous atmosphere and they had a bill that stated because they have so many fans down here and they love their Redskins in the nation's capital at the waiting list that old RFK was monstrous Sunday Jurek's in areas sunny battling the flu down the fairway from him out there's the Redskins over radio [Applause] Epic's sunny was one of the guys who left when he was asked about the the new owner Dan Snyder he said hey wait a second he came in this place was Club Med said he came in and he shook it up and that's what you need I mean all the great coaches they keep their players on edge and when you think about like a Parcells there's Sam Huff right there or a Jimmie Johnson all these guys mike shanin they keep their teams on edge guys got to feel uncomfortable the NFL it's such a competitive situation nobody should ever feel comfortable the antes decision here this is centers [Applause] setting a couple of tackles flag convinced we get to a 79 [Music] we're going to have holding I believe on the Redskins downfield [Applause] and how fun is it to watch larry centers though when he catches the football 10-yard penalty repeat sit down I'm playing the guy like this and you watch him play through the years and he played with a lot of mediocre to poor team so you didn't know that much about Larry centers and now he has a chance it's kind of fun to get to postseason and teams advance and you get to learn a little bit about guys who you know have really done great work through the years but have done enough and obscurity and that's what free agency does for you take a look at the deep and Sam shake him over from Cincinnati has never even thought about making the playoffs and then comes here and finds himself the leading tackler on the defense and and basically is leading this defense into the playoffs I mean how nice is that for him [Music] NIC's takes you to the 21 I thought the combination however of Mitchell and centers was really one of the dynamic guy groups of guys on the field they're both so competitive it can make plays both blocking and running and catching the football and when I watched them on TV during the year I saw those guys lift the energy level of this football team if Brian's really done it through the years of Brian's been a marvelous player to watch he's not in the lineup at the moment but he's internet runs back kicks [Applause] floated back in college this is Knicks you're right boba you have centers and Mitchell and the different combinations that Turner can use and Hicks is the backup and and then you've got Steven Davis right and you and then you take those players and not only are they good on offense but then you put them on special teams and they truly make your special teams special because of their abilities and there is Brian Mitchell one of the all-time leading yardage gainers I guess you would say in the a tremendous competitor Mendeley versatile second down and ten [Applause] it's not bad at the 5-yard line something flying in was born carrier to of the way there's a guy who hasn't given up and this defense hasn't given up they played very soundly the second half you saw at the beginning of the second half when they had that practice a little bit in there fighting and pushing but that's what it's about intensity on defense Robert Porche will be going to the Pro Bowl but he's not thinking about Hawaii at the moment three defenders from the Detroit Lions who make the Pro Bowl Stephen Boyd Luther Ellis and Robert O'Shea and you can see that Larry Peck Otello the defensive coordinator probably appealed to their pride at halftime so let's go boys we got to pick it up they don't want to get embarrassed you know that's the problem you go down for the 12 yard line running off the sideline onto the field it just goes to show you how out of synch the entire team is [Applause] Lions the Lions shocked everybody and we go back to what we said at the top a team that was 5 and 11 last year the bomb is dropped on them on the eve of training camp Sanders retires they scramble and never find a running game and yet they wind up 6 and 2 at the halfway mark as as six things evolved with those because they finished two and six with a four-game losing streak and unfortunately they are picking up in postseason where they left off of the recognition enforcement event and also remember that only three of their players have played in all games at those positions they've been shuffling out injured players especially in the secondary and on the offensive line Charlie Batch their starting quarterback has been missing for most of the year to make the playoffs under those circumstances Barry Sanders one of the I think that you have to go over realize how good a job Bobby Ross dentists year hoedown today over said three three guys only three guys start in every game for Detroit this year one on offense the guard Jeff partings two on defense the tackle James Jones in the safety Ron rice that's the fewest number of guys to start for NFL team since 1988 when the Chiefs had only two guys started every game that season you're talking about a team that's in the NFC Central one of the more competitive divisions and you looked at the future they're Sharlee bang [Applause] Charlie batches rested a second year to [Music] [Applause] [Music] thousand six points go wasting Steven Alexander drops it at the goal line [Music] now she talked to Mike Kofi's the tight end coach for the Washington Redskins I said how your tight ends are out there doing great you know we have 4,000 yard quarterback but yet my guys don't seem to catch that many passes well they got to make their opportunities count twenty nine receptions coming into the season they've been nice to have a touchdown in a playoff game instead they settle for a 31 yard attempt by Brett Conway that's tipped and blocked and Lamar Campbell blocked it run race or running it back and he's out in front and away she's gonna go old zone for a touchdown don't give up yeah now Oh never give up instead of 30 to nothing all of a sudden for what it's worth at 27 6 no flags ship by Lamar Campbell he just got a piece of it and then rice comes up with then runs it all the way back for a touchdown smart play by rice realizing that the Redskins were kind of just standing still and kind of fell asleep a little bit but Campbell sells out 27 enough to 9 minutes to go in the game and he's still selling out and that is how a nineteen play Washington Drive ends with the Detroit touchdown Redskins ran 19 plays Detroit only two you might as well just get the points where we gonna find him [Applause] see the conversion is unsuccessful [Applause] Bailey you think it really was gonna be successful yeah you're right 27-6 Washington sorry swagger sold out [Music] [Music] in my house I have a stair climber bike a rowing machine collecting dust get out there and explore from

to talk about a Washington Tampa Bay matchup and every time we do Washington tries to put Detroit back into the game with that interception Detroit from the 21 by Brian stay blind he picks up 14 well I really don't understand that last series of plays by the Washington Redskins a fourth row and a poor decision by Brad Johnson and I think what you're seeing here is that you're seeing the fact that Steven Davis is not on the field he is that he is the heartbeat of that offense and he's not out there all of a sudden they start getting a little spotty he was out there enough in the first half to build up that big lead 27 to nothing but now farhat trying to pull off a a late miracle with a long way to go intended for koel and it would be a miracle al it would it would be pretty close to what happened in Nashville today I think I mean another ball that hits an official he said balls batted down and if in the umpire the poor hump bar here is just getting absolutely wacked he's like standing in front of the goal just kind of deflecting it Bharath maybe a zebra foal [Applause] Bharath grows and that is caught by Jermaine Coelho balls are then at the 50-yard line before he shut that about sign something that would play cool when you see plays like that you see the abilities of these wide receivers you just wish that they could have made some some plays earlier on in the game they never got into a rhythm he gets away he throws a nice ball and that's how you catch the football on the sideline with your hands make sure you have the concentration keep your feet down like a little bit too late though al first intently [Applause] flag is going garage out of items at the 48-yard line black on in from the umpire you know what that normally means [Music] it doesn't normally it means holding in this case it means tripping I think they caught my Compton terrific number 77 10-yard penalty repeat the down my Compton he has been the guy that's been on the sideline that's been quite vocal and usually when you're vocal you got to be careful because all of a sudden the light comes shining down on you and the one thing that I can appreciate from his standpoint he's right in the middle of a pack right there and he tries that and he does strip dainties on the Stubblefield Lisi was trying to protect this quarterback yeah the most important thing twelve penalties against the Lions for under 26 yards back in the cell [Applause] he gets out of bounds at the 50-yard line he's chasing behind by Kalu [Applause] it's back close to the original line of scrimmage tomorrow the

Maryland Georgia Tech and then it was a very big surprise when Bobby better ironed and Bobby didn't know him that well but interviewed him about him in San Diego and he got into the Super Bowl material with the Redskins Bobby Ross is at Maryland so he actually the success that he had there third down and eight nets knocked down at the line of scrimmage by kulu kulu has been the glue all over the place tonight he has been poof interesting now he's only had three and a half sacks this year but he's been a dominant force in passing situations today and knocking ball down sacks making plays hurries been disruptive and they can move them in and out with Bernard ylang-ylang another pantsless specialist that's the eighth tip pass [Applause] that's tipped by his own man that's Jermaine

it was there [Applause] actually gonna be like that aesthetics the Redskins going there now this might not be the last game played here this season because the winner of the Dallas Minnesota game will then go to st. Louis and if the Cowboys or Vikings win that game and the Redskins were to beat Tampa Bay they would play the championship game right here because the Redskins aren't affect the number three seed having been a division champion st. Louis seed at number one Tampa Bay seed at number two and then Washington very tall order for the Washington Redskins go down there beat Tampa Bay especially the situation with Andy heck they're left tackle and Steven Davis who they believe will probably try to come back and play next week but he has a knee now and an ankle injury under five minutes to go she talked about Norv Turner really one of the more respected coaches throughout the NFL out we've been down here we've done a few of his games and he's been under an intense pressure of the last couple years and certainly it's nice to see a good guy make it to the playoffs if you think all the Redskins will get invited to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom after this one what do you think how much are they gonna have to pay well how much does that cost plenty from the 39-yard line but it all goes to a good cause flag thrown [Applause] I knew you couldn't help yourself you started first time Oh bleep me I didn't show this shot the great Janos started all right well you started it then first and 15 after the penalty [Music] 2076 the Redskins on top just hand it off hand it off and let the clock run seriously you don't want to get any hurt anybody hurt especially a quarterback you don't want to put him in a situation so you hand it off three times you know make a first down punt it who cares [Applause] [Music] Chris Claybourne dragging skip picks down Claybourne number one pick in the draft out of us V looking down at UCLA guys this is the first time that we've got a chance to see the Redskins live and early on when Steven Davis was in the game you saw some passion you saw a guy that came out here basically took this game over single-handedly and a lot of things came off of that and all of a sudden it's kind of gotten a little sloppy if you take those two offensive linemen out of the game and you don't have Steven Davis now what is your future hold that your defense has showed up and play very well tonight very well second down and 20 boo and Hicks gets banged back by Luther Ellis plays like that or why Ellis is gonna Provo [Applause] not enough to plays like that today though right not today Luther one of as we mentioned before three lions who are headed for Hannover Luther just coming right in and beatin Keith Sims to the point of attack and just [Applause] that's what you call penetration and that's what you got to have when your defensive lineman and it just started with the first player to get Greg Jones got back absolutely drilled this boy there Danny Tommy fear I was one of three defensive guys going to the Pro Bowl and Bobby Ross will also send to other guys one does the tight end David Sloan and the other is the kicker Jason Hanson that's the last thing he's thinking about with it team down by 21 so Jimmy who's the best Super Bowl team ever well Rebekkah football is a complicated sport most women don't understand but I'd have to say Dallas and a gloomy day defense I mean doomsday defense then there's the Pittsburgh sat and Kirkland Steel Curtain whatever at least we both drink Miller like as a face brave right well actually I like it cause it's less filling but it's nice to drink with such a football expert you know I was a guard for the Packers Jimmy you were parking-lot security face the truth builder are you looking down my shirt [Music] it happened on my second cast

open field by Shawn barber I really felt like the Hawaiians had a chance just come there's a pair of centers and how happy is he to be here I've really thought they had a chance how if they just could have protected and it all came down to whether or not Gus parot was going to be comfortable in that pocket and Greg Jones said no way baby on the first or anymore makes the catch and it's a first down they're still picking them up off the ground two-minute warning while Washington heading for paint the bed and around two of the playoffs 27-6 skins I'm Robert Porsche day of the Detroit Lions this is

they changed the name of the stadium from jack kent cooke stadium to park now is FedEx Field it changed the name of the town back to the original name of the time right it was land over to RAL John to land over Dan Snyder's out of heaven just about everything everything that's why I never know where I am was a lonely feeling if you're Gus parot right now al you just want to get off this field you just want to get out of here by FedEx send me home well you talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers al and Tony Dungy has done a great job down there Shaun King it's kind of ignited that offense a little bit defense is still one of the best defenses in football does anybody have a chance to slow down the st. Louis Rams that's the question yet well the Cowboys a Vikings mover Winky [Applause] and for on its name the pro-bowl tied in gets it onto the 46 yard line nowhere is that been all day yeah those three wide receivers than that tight end while you're not doing more of that or at least trying to do some of that I'm sure they they were already on in the game but they weren't able to complete those bad [Applause] [Music] for well across the 50 to the 40 long time out [Applause] and think about going into the TWA don't mountain st. Louis probably the one team that can score with them pretty much is Minnesota good matchup there that would be a good match you want Detroit on the verge of tying that dubious a cheese and mark but out don't sell the Cowboys short I agree with you and the healthy Deion Sanders Leon let we saw them on Monday night and we saw Emmitt Smith basically from the half of a lifetime and then he broke his hand in Detroit and got knocked out right one of the best moves I think that folks fazio has made the defense coordinator the Minnesota white he was putting John Randle back into the center of that defense he's creating more havoc in there is a little bit more difficult to run against them now with him inside bar should be interesting they're dying for [Applause] lazy Kenny stretching reaching has a first down among other things another streak a notch will be added to that Detroit Washington's big I mean it is pretty amazing when you think about it this will be 20 consecutive losses to the line 17 as Ron rivers takes it to the cloning of yard line and you know coaches say well what does that mean and they're right I mean you know Bobby Ross doesn't come in here and say hey we've lost 19 straight games here because and a half the guys that lost some of those games are dead so it means nothing in that row but I mean when you think about it just in a statistical sense in a sports sense it's pretty amazing to lose 20 in a row in one sitting for one franchise [Music] IIIi don't think that the Detroit lion future is this bleak as this game might make it out to be when you think about Charlie Batch coming back being healthy they're certainly going to have to solve their their running back situation they lost their left tackle and they're proposed starting right tackle to injuries who have both were on the IR Aaron Gibson who is there second of their first-round draft choices this year and ray Roberts to the left Hackett so he's kind of peaceful to get a big-time running back receivers [Music] first game throws and that's incomplete at the 15-yard line on a GMAT and contentment [Applause] [Music] Lyons coming in eighth Nate and there-there are the teams reaching the playoffs at 500 or less remember Cleveland and Detroit 2nd and 3rd on that panel in 82 a strike season they expanded the playoff that's why they got in but as you can see every team that's come in at 500 or lower has lost its first game and tomorrow Dallas and 18 in that jinx at Minnesota forced out of bounds oh there's Dan Schneider - think he's happy al very happy he's in his mid think bands 35 now you know now you do know that he did attend the University of Maryland he'll write briefly I do know that for a year and a half even with a partial education from that school you can become a success just think of what would have happened had he graduated ring-a-ding one for the 19 [Applause] and you'd be the owner of the Redskins here stave line to the 5-yard line [Music] and so the Lions will try to end it with one mini flourish as the clock ticks down if they can get the player barackman at least take one shot into the end zone as he spikes I think I probably just would have turned around and went in and said see you boys yeah [Applause] brad johnson is going to have his work cut out next week and that's the thing about the playoff saying you're so happy you're so your pork after this game and you've accomplished something then the realization hit you that oh my I got to go do it again and I got to do it next week against one of the best defenses all football back door final play of the game barring a defensive path and it will end with a touchdown to rod rivers [Applause] and the game is over but there will be a convergence even though there's no time on the clock there's also a flag down 21 and a frenzy hood decline touchdown so I'll see you up for two here al now or what do you do but as well no I don't think so some people might be a little nervous but for them the key is really 46 and a half right now then have to worry about it [Music] if you know what I mean and before the game you thought you would have thought there were going to be a lot of points for the new would have yes and now simply line up to kick a very simple extra point and again [Applause] Nansen puts it through and that's the way we'll end the Washington Redskins win the NFC East post a wild-card game win at 27 to 13 but back to work immediately and head set Tampa to face the Buccaneers next weekend as the Lions season is over
