2004 Patriots @ Rams

super bowl 36 participants new england and st louis meet for the first time since that matchup some two and a half years ago st louis coming in sharing the nfc west lead with seattle seahawks had san francisco in this same time block meanwhile the patriots came into the weekend tied for the afc east lead with the jets who are trailing with two and a half minutes to go at buffalo 22-17 hello friends gymnast along with phil sims and bonnie bernstein there is a lot of excitement here phil about these teams getting together again well that's right again jim because you talk about the super bowl that happened almost three years ago but when you're here in st louis you talk to mike martz you talk to the players it still bothers them the fact that they lost that game they were huge uh favorites they want a little payback here today and again they have not met since that matchup in new orleans where adam vinatieri won it with the 48-yard field goal to close the game [Music] we'll see the patriots coming out first and good news for patriot fans as corey dillon is going to play today he is active after missing last week's game at pittsburgh with a thigh injury it was a game time decision he's ready to go and we are too and the kick away to bethel johnson and johnson out to the 28-yard line where tom brady will start things he was just 24 years old in that super bowl match up against the rams but he drove them in the final 90 seconds 53 yards to set up the winning then a terry field goal brady with this line in front of him with gordon starting for tom ashworth who was put on injured reserve over the weekend because of a back injury he's out for the year brandon gore in the right tackle and again corey dillon he will start today in the backfield he has been a huge addition to this team picked up in the spring coming over after being the bengals all-time rusher [Applause] and dylan will get it right away with a huge hole out across the 40 and finally battering the ram secondary and adam archuleta for 14 yards will they put pressure on brady leonard little would be a central figure in that plan and trev falk in the linebacking corps is a cousin of kevin who we'll see on passing downs for the patriots and jeremy trius butler has the only two picks by st louis this season it was a huge block on that last play by patrick pass that helps free dylan and on first down they're going right back to corey and more open space across the 50 and finally banged out with a flag down but he didn't step out until he reached the 40. ed hockley has his crew here in st louis for this one 19 yards on the play brady to dillon and we await the flag patriots trying to get corey dillon right into this game and get him back involved and get him into the groove because of course you know last week he did not play against the pittsburgh steelers this is a long conference as the patriots picked up yardage with ease on the first two snaps of the game just what they want to do come out here run the football and control the line of scrimmage help their beaten up secondary by controlling the football illegal block in the back offense it's a 10-yard penalty from the spot of the foul repeat first down [Applause] took a long time for them to settle on the infraction but that'll back up the patriots a bit it'll still be first down and they talk about they got to find a way to get pressure on the quarterback they're not doing it very well so far this year it is only first and five even with the penalty because of the big yardage faulk is in the game but this is pass patrick pass active today and boy is he active on this run near the third david gibbons helped clear the way 23 yards well something we have not seen too often from the new england patriots this year the screen game and all of a sudden today they come out they use it twice and it's worked well both new times first and ten rams 32 we're just three plays into the game here at the dome in st louis like to welcome the audience who saw the raiders win at the end on a 19-yard field goal by sebastian janikowski plays cory dillon this time they are stopped for a one-yard loss dylan is active as you see after missing a game a week ago with a thigh injury the patriots struggled so much last week the offensive side against the pittsburgh steelers defense six rushing attempts read it tied for an nfl record low five rushing yards second fewest in their history and when you can't run the football it means you're throwing a lot time and possession really when it gets them and those are some of the things they want to correct here today stay on the field and get some big plays to score three tied ends in they go again with dylan and he's just inside the 30. it'll be third and long nice play by butler coming up after a four yard run yeah you talked about those numbers and the rush attempts goes all the way back to the nfl record set back in 1933 by the chicago cardinals with only six rush attempts the entire game jim it's hard to run the football when you're behind 21-3 at the start of the game but when you want to run the football and you want to slow the game down and do what they're going to try to do today you're going to be in a lot of third five six and seven situations so this is where they have to be really good at today right here in this kind of situation right at the 30 on third down and seven brady pumps fires has his man fought tries to tiptoe around one defender archuleta and is finally wrestled down at the 24. damian lewis got to him just shy of the first by two yards so adam then terry will come out they know all about him here in st louis well they do here and also just i remember the words of bill belichick last night look we can't be moving the ball up and down the field and kicking field goals against this offense of the saint louis rams and start of the game here they go 42 yards with josh miller on the hold and vinatari as he was in new orleans to end the game he opens this one with three from 42 yards and that is now 16 consecutive games for the patriots which they have scored first pretty remarkable that's a streak that's the best since all the way back in 1978 in miami so dylan picks up 30 yards as they come right out they already eclipsed last week's rushing total of five yards on the very first carry of the game well it helps when you have corey dylan and you know talking to tom brady last time he goes you know that was our plan in pittsburgh because they were just hoping to run the football and kind of control the game in that respect but again when you don't have your premier runner in the football game that's a big drop off kevin fox a good situational player but he's not a top line physical running halfback like corey dillon is [Music] arlen harris is the deep man waiting for vina terry's kick and it'll come to harris at the nine going a good burst out to the 31. bring out mark bulger at this point he is the winningest quarterback by a win percentage with a minimum of 10 starts plus at home he's only lost once he is something else 15-1 at home grant williams starts at right tackle he started for the patriots in that super bowl win for the patriots over the rams two and a half years ago now he's a ram and marshall faulk will get the bulk of the work hall of fame career still going on and on with big numbers 15-1 at home bulger the only loss was earlier this season overtime the new [Music] he heads orleans for a gain of two ty warren got to him first romeo cornell's defense has not allowed an opening drive touchdown by the opposition in a stretch of 26 games and they've got a very mature rookie vince wilfork starting on the nose from the outside they want some pressure today from willie mcginnis and company that strong linebacking group and now here's the big story the secondary randall gay starts on one side a rookie free agent and on the other asante samuels ty law is out four to six weeks the broken left foot and ty pool tyrone poole is also out with a knee injury bulger on second down swings it over to his tight end [Music] with the reception well the buffalo bills have pulled off the win over the new york jets and you kind of all week warned everybody about that one maybe being a game where the jets were vulnerable well buffalo romeo cornell defensive coordinate but jim buffalo a much better team than their record indicates how about this for the patriots asante samuel they're so thin in the defensive secondary comes across the field lowers the shoulder and that's where it looks like he's hurt is the right shoulder is there reaching underneath his pads and seeing if there's an injury there this is the one thing that i could not have happen uh bill belichick just he just i can't even imagine what he's thinking we look at troy brown actually during training camp he took a few snaps played a few plays in some pre-season games and can you believe this they may have to resort all the way to bringing in the 12-year veteran receiver into the secondary and in fact he's coming right in here on the third play of the game for the patriots defense troy brown you know you try to build depth bill belichick experiments a lot with all the players richard seymour mike frable they play offense sometimes just trying to get combinations because a lot you get some injuries they hit one position you got to be creative yeah that's right troy shifting around third down and five they've also brought an earth wind in dexter reed [Music] on this passing down for the rams and the patriots come crashing in to stop him that was the marshall faulk for a gain of four it'll be a yard shy of the first pretty good job when you talk about this rams offense or the new new england defense they must pressure the passer to take away or so their weakness and the secretary cannot be exposed evan falk awaits the punt of sean landetta still around in his 20th year in the nfl let's at the ten as we welcome to the jets buffalo audience and we'll be seeing the patriots second possession of the game on their first series they took the opening kick drove down for a 42-yard field goal by adam vinatieri and the rams first series ends up being three and out possession but we saw troy brown have to do some emergency work in the secondary for the patriots as asante samuel went out on the second play you see the east standings now the patriots with the win here could take the full one game lead really a game and a half because they've beaten the jets head to head having come into the week sharing the afc east lead with new york that's asante samuel right there not a good sign when you take your shoulder pads off [Applause] santi samuel putting the hit on the tight end of the rams bumping him out of bounds anu maliona and he was injured on the play so they're so thin let's see what the offense can do here for the patriots on the flip field for the second time today and over the top and no flag broken up by travis fisher looking for david patton well what a job by travis fisher played it extremely well he knows there's a blitz coming in uh on tom brady so that means you gotta it's just you down the field against a wide receiver and he is all over david patton did it the correct way he used the backhand to protect himself reached in front of the receiver with the right hand and knocked it down so a second down and ten for those just joining us corey dillon is active today after missing the game last week and this is dylan just getting back to the line of scrimmage dylan opened this game with a big 14-yard run which was longer than any run back more running on that one play than they had all of last week in the loss to the steelers jim there's adam archuleta this is what the saint louis rams do they crowd the line of scrimmage and because they want to do that to stop the run and when they do that that tells you you can throw the football down the field against single coverage and to back this defense off tom brady's gonna have to have success throwing the football down the field saw the big hit there by tommy pauley so it is now third and ten for the patriots back at their own 17. rolling out throwing left patrick pass and he'll be about a yard shy of the first that's the second catch of the day pass had missed the last two also because of a thigh injury [Applause] back in the lineup today well you know i talked to tom brady last night and i even said to him jim you heard me they moved the pocket right the old shoot screen get everybody running one way and the defense if they overreact they go oh no the ball is to the other side of the field but st louis pretty good speed on defense good reaction stops him just short of the first down sean mcdonald is back to receive the pun of josh miller and there is a flag it's going to be a procedure penalty we'll start offense number 30 five yard penalty fourth down [Applause] [Music] you know i'm just thinking jim is it last night i said to tom brady boy i haven't seen those screens you guys have gotten away from that he goes yeah you know we haven't done that much this year well he had to know they were going to run a bunch of them today he didn't even tell us so keeping the secrets tight miller and it's mcdonald losing the handle still can't fall on it patriots are there with the recovery oh macdonald had two clean plays at the football lonnie paxton who is the long snapper who snaps it at one end falls on it at the other well let's take a look see if sean mcdonald takes his eyes off the football yes it always is the case at the last second you want to see with those defenders where they're at where are you going to run the football once you catch it and if you lose that concentration just for a split second that's enough to cause a fumble we actually had three attempts at getting a clean hold of it and it's a lot harder to catch a fall on a fumble on this disaster turf it's harder faster the ball moves a lot more so tough for sean mcdonald troy brown is in as a third receiver as asante samuel walks to the locker room [Applause] fake to dylan brady left side man open troy brown we have an update let's send you right back to greg gumbel in new york all right jim it is all over in tampa last gasp effort by the chiefs fourth and 17. three-man rush one of them dwight white gets to trent greene it's a 34-31 tampa bay win over the kansas city chiefs guys wow thank you greg another wild one there as michael pittman scored three touchdowns today and that win huge performance by pittman including breaking one over 70 yards you see denver san diego sharing the lead in the afc west crushing loss for the chiefs first down here for the patriots and just back to the line of scrimmage for dylan and what was it that mike mark said about that tampa team when we met with him on friday oh he said look out because he he felt very fortunate to beat him in that monday night game because don't let that record deceive you they're coming on well he just said look they're going to make the playoffs yeah he said they're going to be in the playoffs mike martz you know that's the other thing you ask him a question he'll answer it there's no monitor that says oh let me be careful with his hand he just throws it out there and it's really well listen for us it's wonderful it's refreshing and the same for larry marmie the defensive coordinator they tell you the truth second and goal from the 10. brady pressure from behind they don't get them now they do the second time back at the 13. [Applause] tyoka jackson and bryce fisher double up on him good job by tom brady looking to the front side loses all feel for what's behind him but has both hands on the football and that's what stops the fumble look at that front hand it's on the football and that's why the right hand came completely off so good mechanics good skill good fundamentals by tom brady third and goal kevin faulk is the single back david givens who was questionable this week with a knee is in he started he's lined up on the right side brady goes across the middle and sees it slip right through his hands he wouldn't have gotten where he needed to go anyway [Music] a couple big opportunities gone by the board for the patriots down in here twice what you call scoring territory and can't get it done have to try to settle for two field goals adam vinatieri back out for the second time this will be 31 yards true from 42 on the opening possession of the game now 15 of 16 on the season [Applause] and good again 6-0 [Music] mcdonald's fumble set up the three for the patriots [Applause] we'd like to welcome the audience just joining us now from the kansas city tampa game and the bucks prevail in that one 34-31 jim nanceville sims bonnie bernstein here in st louis i just want to go back to that fantasy football thing so how are you doing there mr head coach well yeah six and two including a win over phil sims two weeks ago oh you beat me two weeks ago by about 50 points well it tells you something about me well yeah i have a new general manager for me chris hatchett you know i've hired him and we'll see i'm not above firing somebody too quick another week here's the kick allen harris one yard line [Applause] just out to the 22. that's it we have two adam vinitari field goals but the big sub story here is the secondary another man is down for the patriots we'll see bouldering company in a moment [Music] we are back in st louis and you're looking at a newly activated patriot earth wind moreland in the secondary that has seen asante samuel taking off the field to the locker room telling us shoulder injury doubtful or questionable whether he'll return so no gain for falk on that first down carry let's take a look at the must get to the quarterback stop the run and really protect the beat up secondary and so far they've done very well up front second and nine and someone jumped richard seymour was out of his stance early but was her movement first on the st louis side [Music] saw that time of possession stat right before the snap patriots have had it before the ball was snapped ball start offense number 83 five yard penalty still second down and let's go down to bonnie bernstein bonnie hi jim and phil well in super bowl 36 mark bulger was on the bench as the rams fell to the patriots but he is 15 and one here in the dome and the rams thing a couple of things might be in his favor the obvious new england's banged up secondary now with ahsante samuel out that's even worse and mark says there is nobody i've seen who gets rid of the ball quicker than mark bulger second down and 14 as he looks down the middle open man and out at the 38-yard line is isaac bruce gain of 21 they're already working on earth win moreland well when your defense is beat up in the secondary you got to play a little cautious that means back up play some zone coverages and look at the space in this secondary and mark bulger just throws it up they throw inside routes to their wide receivers better than anybody in the national football league and not only that like bill belichick says they run them at 25 yards deep so they put a lot of pressure on their offensive line to hold them out so the quarterback has time to throw him down the field first down they come in on bulger and they're going to drag him down with a football and they're going to rule him down first time warren grabbed him by the jersey just slung the quarterback to the ground ted johnson with a recovery but that's all for naught st louis ball but uh i'm sacked for the patriots again you got to be excited to be a defensive lineman playing the saint louis rams this is no so-called west coast offense where it's a lot of short drops and quick rhythm throws where you can't get to the quarterback this is deep drops ty warren taking advantage of grand williams the expatriate and coming inside and getting mark bulger for the south you know the patriots had not had a sack nor an interception in the past two games so now they have a sack setting up second down 16. get just a little bit of it back plus the flag as marshall falk is the receiver sacks and interceptions usually go hand in hand if you're not pressuring the quarterback you can't expect him to throw it off target and get the interceptions before the pass was thrown illegal contact defense number 55 five yard penalty from the previous spot in an automatic first down that's a big one on willie mcginnison this is something the rams thought that the patriots were guilty many times back in that super bowl loss in new orleans you think what is it they they said that you're visiting with tory holt this week well tory hold watching willie mcginnis makes contact about seven eight well he gets two of them two late contacts but they were very aggressive grabbing and holding tory holt says they just tackled us at the line of scrimmage mark bulger didn't play in the game i said what was your thoughts as you watched it on tape man they hold a lot so hey take advantage of the rules and a 10 yard gain as bruce makes the catch we'll give him 11 and eugene wilson on the coverage yeah this is going to be hard for mike march not to just say let's throw it because the more they throw it the slower the pass rush is going to get because you're going to get tired isaac bruce all-time receiver bruce almaty almighty well that says it all when you see these ones all to the right side but tells you he's really good you're talking about over 11 000 yards in his career [Applause] on first down and steps out after a nice 10 yard gain manu maliona helped clear out that right side yeah they did jim and they're going to get you they really got you going here for the patriots they spread you out you're thinking pass you want to get to the quarterback you've done it so you go up field and look at the space that marshall faulk has inside kevin curtis 83 going against earthquake moreland not a bad job he's not a train killer but he got out there and gotten away isaac brooks out it is another first down for the rams nice drive they're putting together here and steven jackson the rookie with his first carry goes for only two let's get an update back to greg in new york all right jim in denver the broncos have drawn first blood against the houston texans jake plummer 34 yards to jeb putier with the extra point the broncos lead it by score 7-0 they are in the final minute of the first quarter jimmy phil back to you all right thank you greg what did you see there well no i think greg's probably got some tired arms today holding boomer assistant and dan marino apart a little conflict in the studio two quarterbacks oh you know having some fun hey quarterbacks all quarterbacks hate the other quarterbacks but i think it had some you actually had a role in that because i guess everybody was calling boomer phil second down to nine and again it's funk and again it's just short yardages vince wolfer teddy brewski we're both there for a stop after a gain of two this is the first time the rams have had the football in new england territory in this first quarter final minute of the opening quarter you know it's really interesting i i see a lot of ram games on tv and everybody talks about it they throw the football down the field you watch them practice and tell you what if you're the quarterback for the rams you better have great endurance in your arm you better be able to chuck it down the field a long way too i i know exaggeration i'll bet you mark baldwin friday's practice through at least 30 balls 30 yards are farther past the line of scrimmage you got to have a little endurance too for the receivers who are running up and down that field all the time and back to the huddle so time out paul with a third down play on the way we'll be right back to st louis we're back in the gateway city and monday an all-new late show dave welcomes the one and only tom hanks plus music from nelly dave's all new all this week here on cbs now the rams hold that timeout because they were running out of time on the play clock as troy brown again joins the secondary and samuel is putting the uniform back on third down and seven five wide receiver look ooh either the quarterback or the center forgot the snap count mark bulger took off kind of hard to believe that a quarterback could forget the stamp count in it false start offense number ten five yard penalty still third down did you ever do that oh my gosh i used to do it all the time it's kind of embarrassing you go up get underneath the center oh yeah oh sorry it was my fault you get underneath the center and you go uh what's step out yeah what was that again and you have all these little um catch phrases you use oh like monday is one tuesday's two when of course the defense figures that out pretty quick samuel wants to get back in but in the meantime troy brown doing some emergency work on defense third and 12. and bulger never had a chance jarvis green has his second sack of the season three-man rush still got to mark bulger you look at this new england defensive line they just look bigger than the st louis rams offense and they're putting the pressure on mark bulger here in the first quarter yeah that ends the first quarter and it's 6-0 new england you're watching the nfl on cbs we're about to begin the second quarter to summarize what we've seen opening possession of the game patriots drive to veneterry range good from 42 and then a fumble by mcdonald of the rams sets up another vinetary field goal from 31 yards out 6-0 as the rams will start the second period with a punt from sean landeta will he field it he will patriots last week gave up 21 points in the first quarter most allowed by the patriots in a game since 1979 but they don't give up anything today we'll be right back back in st louis and check out special teams matt chatham of the patriots tommy paulie of the rams don't ever leave your feet tommy big mistake and they were exchanging words yeah on the quarter change before the punt we'll watch that one the rest of the day patriots a good thing in this game jim start from their own six corey dylan the single back dillon changing it or brady changing it up with three on the down clock ball loose fumble in the end zone the rams have they recovered it's a touchdown it is leonard little with the recovery for the score big risk by the new england patriots crowd noise is always a factor here in the in the dome tom brady looked like he might have been changing the play the offensive line they're not quite in tune with the snap count and leonard little he is the best pass rusher for the saint louis rams causes the fumble and the touchdown it's the second week in a row the patriots have allowed a defensive touchdown sometimes you just have to know you're in a bad situation and just let it go tom brady they're holding this up to make sure it's a fumble and it it clearly is reminds you of one last week a fumble last week that was recovered by the steelers and led to their second touchdown damien lewis he was in there to help knock it free so wilkins in for the extra point and the rams defense has given st louis the lead [Applause] 7-6 rams [Applause] on the fumble recovery by leonard little [Music] we're back in st louis and the kick from the rams after the defensive touchdown returned by patrick pass out to the 36. and it could have been really a disaster for the patriots pass had a hard time getting the handle on the kick finally able to scoop it up and get past the first wave and kicker jeff wilkins helped bring him down at the 36. the first down for new england trailing 7-6 it's corey dillon right side and a nice piece of running out to the 42 pass through the block at freedom for six well i want to go back damien damien lewis is the one that caused that fumble on tom brady for the touchdown and leonard little recovered damien lewis just overpowered steven neal to get to brady and let's take a look at it damian lewis just pushes by stephen neal overpowers him the crowd noise helps him and leonard little coming from the other side falls on the football for a touchdown second down four for new england brady has been sacked twice in this game nine times the last two and a half games again having a hard time communicating pitches it dillon wide open room and he's all the way down to the 40-yard line into the secondary before archuleta could get him oh what a what a nice relief for the patriots you get your star running back back and i told you early in the game that the st louis rams like to crowd the line of scrimmage and one of the reasons why if they don't they have a hard time stopping the run and look at the blocking up front patrick pass gets a good block joe andruzzi excellent block to center dan copeland also market at the 41 first down opening two minutes of the second quarter delay give dylan just back to the line [Music] tino e samoa was the first to get to him and corey dillon boy did they miss him last week in pittsburgh we talked to bill belichick trying to gauge last night if he would be playing today and he really wasn't sure he said listen it's going to be a game time decision if the game was during the he wouldn't have played but maybe now a couple of days later after full practice maybe he'll be ready to go and he is the rams think the patriots are a power running team and a play-action team that throws it deep and that's what they are when corey dillon's in there second ten fake madeleine cross the middle too high for patton [Applause] corey dillon after sitting out last week's game he had back to back 100 yard games before that three in all in a patriot uniform this his first season in new england well he has been everything that it was advertised to be he has really given the new england offense an identity before it was like what will they be this week a downfield throwing team a screen team five wide receivers well when he's in the lineup they're gonna put him behind the quarterback and running quite often on the passing down he's out faulk is in third and ten to four makes the move for the first and finally banging around at the 29 first down new england gain of 12. and you know what happens when you have corey dylan in the football game and lets kevin faulk be what he really is a role player who comes in on third down and catches the football tom brady nice little fake to the right he knew all along that defense pre-stamped that he was going to throw it to kevin faulco he faked to the right to create just a little more space so kevin faulk could catch it and get a couple extra yards hawk stays in gets the handle here breaks the tackle and down to the 20. run of nine for kevin faulk [Music] well kevin faulk acting like corey dillon this time he says he's really learned a lot working behind corey dillon nice job patient didn't run into the line of scrimmage and just get no gain he looked for a little cut back he found it and gets a couple extra yards after he's hit kevin faulk came in having caught 14 balls the last two games and his catch on this series keeps the drive going plus a nice run so it's second and one dylan returns dylan gets the handle and set back a yard [Music] tina we samoa and trev falk both got to him third and two coming up corey dillon you see 38 yards with our stats tracks 38 yards for dylan now puts him on the season over 675 yards and that means he's already moved past last year's total for the leading rusher on the patriots antoine smith he's already out gained smith's total of a year ago which was tops on the team third and two on the 21. brady has his first down target david gibbons nice job by tom brady they faked the run to his left look at that alley he gets to throw the football into that's a play the patriots use quite a bit they get the defense they get all their offensive players to the left side the defense shifts that way you fake a run there and that gives the backside receiver a lot of space to run into so givens first catch of the game coming off the best game of his career last week eight receptions and a couple of touchdowns they can pick up a first inside the one first down and ten and it's dylan making the move to get away and dylan is out of bounds at the two well you can't help but watch this and go man that game last week in pittsburgh but it would have been a lot different if corey dillon would have been in there it just shows you you don't have to block them all when he runs he can run him over and oh excuse me i'll just run around what a nice move for a big man they always say the sound of a good running back if you're a big man with little feet and that's what he showed that time that was travis fisher he escaped mike frable has come into the lineup he's lined up on the left side time of possession new england doing what they wanted to do dominate the pace of play second down and one play action fake the loud pass and the ball is caught by bravely we told you he just came in he caught the last touchdown in the super bowl this past february first and now he comes in and snags another oh man is he excited i know why he's so excited and pumped up because even if he was a tight end or a wide receiver that was still a really good catch tom brady stretches him out to the limit oh right on the fingertips that is a very well it's awesome acrobatic catch when tom brady let it go i said he's being careful that's too far but mike frable what an athlete what a player outside linebacker and does a really tremendous job in short yardage situations mike grebel looking like he plays on offense all the time so bina terry connects the extra point mike frable became the first defensive player to score a touchdown in a super bowl lined up on offense first guy since the fridge he did it in houston now he does it in st louis mike frable a linebacker hauls in the pass from tom brady giving brady 14 consecutive games with a touchdown pass i'll tell you what though if he wasn't a linebacker he could be a tight in the national football league too marlon harris on the run back from the six to the 30 to the 40. there is a flag and all the way out to the 44. 38-yard run back but the flag is back at the 22.3 looking pumped today isn't he it's got to be the most in shape referee in the history of the nfl doing a little carbo loading i noticed last night at one of the italian restaurants in st louis i promise you before he comes out in this in the game every week i mean this is a compliment he's probably knocking off a couple hundred push-ups in that locker room i happen to catch him up at giovanni's last night yeah on the hill he's packing it in but i i never said this and i meant he did the super bowl last year down in houston i didn't get a chance to during the game but i i tell you the whole crew did a tremendous job he was in charge of it it was really clean no plays that you go oh they blew it and none of that going on so it's uh a credit to him and his whole staff what a job he did there now if he could just speed things up here there were no fouls on the play and that's good for the rams they'll start out at the 44. brabel look at the catch the feet are down grace bill belichick's side leads 13-7 but a lot of unhappy people here at the dome in st louis because while we were away ed hockely and his crew came back and said there was a foul on that last return here's here's why jim ed well it's got a list there was an illegal block in the back during the return by the receiving team the 10-yard penalty from the spot of the foul first down here's what happened ed hockley threw a flag on this block and somebody else told him to pick it up and he did but he didn't realize what's the second penalty robert thomas top of your screen blocked in the back blayton block in the back easy call for the officials and a good job getting it straight back at the 15 first down and marshall thought for two running into ted johnson that wasn't though the ed hockley won the first one that was not a block in the back you felt no it was not i thought the receiving team he got his hands in front of the defender rushing down the field when you do that it's clean and i do like that they'll get together once as i saw it it was a penalty and two other officials might come and say no one we had a better angle on it we saw and they picked it up second down and eight [Music] [Applause] wilfred in on the quarterback who gets away bulger and he is hammered at the 26. that's enough for the first down and it was mike frable who firmly brought him to the turf oh that's a dream hit for a linebacker but vince wilfork 75. and we told you mark bolger the saint louis rams saw it down the field they hold the football a long time and don't get greedy when you're quarterbacks oh yes we talked with vince wilfred last night and you know he's playing the nose sometimes out on the end position he's on the end right now not getting that many opportunities getting a quarterback's face well that time he did and he took advantage of being outside he remains outside as wilford first down 10 and falk breaking it across the 35 and stepping out at the 40. [Applause] running behind adam timmerman for 14 yards [Applause] marshall faulk with that run moved past barry sanders on the all-time yards from scrimmage list into fourth position with only jerry rise walter payton and emmitt smith in front of him steven jackson is in first and ten rookie from oregon state gets his second carry and jackson for only two yards stephen jackson nice change up for the saint louis rams you got marsha falk who would prefer to run around you if he gets the opportunity and then stephen jackson first round draft pick from morgan state he comes in he is six foot two 233 and when we met him on friday i went wow you are one big man yeah he's you know with this with marshall falk obviously having a couple of knee surgeries in the last 15 months they really needed some insurance they moved up in the draft he was the first running back taken and he said that marshall has helped me grow first guy of the calling marcia falcon second down play wide open they've got the tight end all the way down to the 11 yard line rodney harrison prevents the touchdown but a 48-yard hookup it's just got to be a breakdown it's a play-action fake by mark bulger but it's not like it's something you don't expect oh little they do that a lot they fake the old statue of liberty and when they do it the new england defense goes for it completely nobody is covering manu monoluna down the field well i just butchered that name close mother maliona the longest catch of his career 48 yards first down from the 11. mourinho there and over into the flats got his man it's bruce and bruce almighty touchdown saint louis [Music] [Music] that was a play that was reminiscent of the old saint louis rams they don't do it as much now as they used to where everybody runs deep and one of the receivers comes underneath the coverage you want to play it safe they'll throw it short and the speed takes it into the end zone for isaac bruce chris chandler on the hole and wilkins loops it through that's isaac bruce's second touchdown of the season covers 11 yards and the rams move back in front [Music] well that didn't take long 85 yards and six plays and isaac bruce has his first touchdown since the opening game of the season and the quirky kick on one hop to patrick pass pass out to the 28. well mike martz he got his offense in gear on that series ends up in the old vets hands bruce for the touchdown and the lead 14-13 [Music] where are we running i'll tell you where we're running from the 27 new england first down with five minutes to go in the first half and the flag false start offense number 82 five yard penalty first down what did you see on the touchdown phil well here's what they do the rams if you want to be aggressive they'll throw it over the top the tight end goes up the field marshall faulk goes deep watch isaac bruce come underneath the defense retreats nobody's short nice job by mark bulger finding him and look how fast they run it's just well look they built this team to play on turf and they take advantage of it it is first and 15. back at the 22. [Music] and he's got the grab inside the 30. [Applause] jerimetrius butler was defending and givens brings it down for 50. jerimetrius butler is in perfect position and he just misses the ball to the top of the screen he's not fooled he's running right along watch his left hand and he misses it and givens what concentration hangs on the football excellent technique by butler right hand on the receiver left hand goes to knock it down just misses the football that is the longest pass play of the season for the patriots first down gary dylan to the 25. and again if you're looking for free fantasy football you can experience all the thrilling action and intense competition with nfl fourth quarter fantasy sign up today by clicking on fantasy at cbs sportsline.com you know earlier i didn't get a chance to ask you this you said something about three and you and you know insinuated that i'm cheap no i can definitely vouch for that's not being the case there are a few guys though on this oh on this crew who i would think this would be very attractive mike arnold and they're on the second down carry rory dillon is dropped back at the 28 by tommy paulie and trev falk well you watch this st louis defense they're they're they are what i would call a gambling defense they move around a lot they try to sneak a safety up there they they try to confuse you and beat you with the speed but if they guess wrong that's why they give up big plays and they get gas sometimes in the running game third down nine patriots 28 yard line of the saint louis rams troy brownbrack back in stepping forward and passed wide of the mark looking for givens so bring out then a terry we're a try from about 45 yards it's excellent protection up front leonard little is lining up as a linebacker and coming in a different spot every single time the patriots have been ready for it they're blocking him but tom brady off target for a reason because nobody was open in the middle of the field there you see his career stats right at about 70 percent from beyond the 40 this would be his longest kick of the season 45 yards military and he is now three for three on the game that is the fourth lead change of the quarter patriots back ahead 16-14 [Music] tonight on 60 minutes who is the big credit card company's worst nightmare a man who wants to save you money how we'll find out on 60 minutes bring a big audience in terry run back by harris to the 34. these two teams that met in super bowl 36 as you see matt chatham has another disagreement remember that game ty law with the run back first touchdown of the game ricky pro's 26 yard touchdown catch warner ties it but adam vinatieri from 48 yards as time expires gives the patriots their first super bowl title you know i didn't even think about that game as i was coming out here this week tom brady the mvp good solid game last minute drive just like this past year to win it but it was brought up quite a few times by coaches players i guess we can lose the super bowl that's going to be a source mark for a long time bulger on first down pressure in his face and torrey holt runs over to make that grab his first of the game mike brabo again was in the middle of the action and he was closing in on bulger well you think they don't throw it down the field mark bulger held the foot the crowd even got nervous it took so long for him to throw the football and what pressure they put on their offensive line one two three i'd already panicked and let it go a long time ago all the way across the field to tory holt two guys there but you're just not used to covering that long against a wide receiver two guys who were backups dexter reed and earthwind moreland both on the coverage first and ten samuel has not returned into the secondary for the patriots looking for halt again grab though give him the catch on the sideline right at the 30. eugene wilson and again earth win moreland covering did he get his right foot in it looked pretty close it was not rule to force out up the field inside breaking out again a lot of pressure against the defense oh did he get it in it's not even close well how about the effort just dragging the back foot torey holt and isaac bruce they're tall athletic they're nimble they're fast they're pretty they're graceful and most of all we talked about it earlier jim they have endurance they never slow down during the game you didn't say smooth well smooth too i guess so smooth with three o's how's that that's how good it is that is smooth that's the two-minute warning mark bulger has not missed in this game he's nine for nine the last two have gone the halt we've reached the two minute warning back here with the new 49er phil sims happy birthday my man hey i like your tie by the way i know that was a present for me my daughter bought it for me how about that this game is really living up to what we thought it might be we hoped it would be yeah i think we thought it might be exciting as turned out to be that to watch the adjustments for the team the saint louis rams offenses it comes as advertised down the field big plays and the patriots have had a few big plays in the road first down bulger again he hasn't missed until now we'll bring it up and it's wide of the mark looking for the titan who made the big play last time manu maliona we've got the next tell halftime report coming up shortly with greg and dan shannon and phil i'm i'm sorry that's boomer for all the latest scores and highlights it's all coming up on the next halftime report that's what you were talking about earlier there might be something you know listen i know it's not like the most flattering thing somebody can say to you in the world when they call boomer me but it happens to me too all the time when you get called phil yeah yeah i get called too a boomer second down and 10. got troy brown back in on defense bulger's looking looking and now gets his man out of the backfield actually coming across on a slant it's isaac bruce for eight third and two on the way roosevelt colvin on the hit there was a flag first indication i saw was against the rams ronnie harrison's in there discussing it illegal formation offense was an ineligible number on the left end of the line five yard penalty repeat second down we've got a 16 14 game with the patriots in front on three military field goals and a mike for abel touchdown catch illegal formation nobody's covering a tackle all three wide receivers are off the line of scrimmage and sometimes uh the officials will let you get away with it but that was blatant somebody has got to step up there and cover the left tackle [Music] you saw that a few times in your film work this week yeah the rams actually lined up in some wrong formations and didn't oh look at this trying to fake them out but the patriots were not fooled as bulger did the old uh academy award effort trying to walk to the sideline they snap at the fault you know what they faked me in practice and they got me here today i thought mark bulger was going to come across and say call a timeout he's going to give that disgusted look oh look at this coach but the pretty good acting very good acting but you alert for all those things when you play the st louis rams in new england they had tremendous reaction to it was he a drama major at west virginia third and 11 with a minute 14 to go in the half and boulder now trying to step outside he'll go left side waves his receiver to move on in a fumble fumble and falling on by jarvis green was the out of bounds are in play knocked loose by willie mcginnis jarvis green right on the sideline with the recovery and they say patriot football it looked like jarvis green got possession of the football before any of his body got out of bounds and mark bulger really trying to pick up the first down you got to think of the situation before the snap know you're in field goal range even if you throw it away it's going to be three points trying to get his receiver down the field loses sight of willie mcginnis here comes the football gonna be close it is gonna be close that shoulder might have been out this has got to be called from upstairs it's inside of two minutes mcginnis just saw that football out there and couldn't wait to get there you look jarvis green does he have possession falls on it he's got it out of bounds and it's going to be challenged well from that angle it looks like he's in looks like the recovery is good now if they do rule that he was out of bounds the ball will be brought back to where mark bulger fumbled it and i'm sure they would still probably try a long field goal talking about a three-point decision right here sure jarvis green already with a sack in this game and now hope hoping his recovery will hold up let's see what any see if we can uh see anything this is the good view see everybody indisputable evidence that's what they must have again the call on the field was a recovery so it's got to be indisputable visual evidence otherwise to overturn it recovered inbounds just alerting the fans here in st louis that they're reviewing exactly what we've talked about well there's no doubt in my mind he gets possession almost and boy look at that left hand he gets it around that football boom it's in there not an easy call for ed i say it it's a three-point decision i don't want to give away a 50-yard field goal because it would be from the point of the fumble that's back at the 35 which would mean that wilkins would come out and try one from about 52. 52-53 yards wilkins can make him particularly inside this stadium from outside the 50 14 times in his career he's made the long ball from 50 and beyond yeah i'd say when you kick indoors it's good for seven to eight yards it just you know i watch these guys warm up today they make it look so easy they don't have to worry about nothing gets in their head there's no wind there's no bad turf there's no bad footing there's no excuses well ed hockely continues to review we should review the pittsburgh steelers win today against the philadelphia eagles how about that two-week stretch taking on two of the last two undefeated teams in the league and beating them both by a combined score of 61-23 first the patriots and today the eagles i think what's so impressive is it back-to-back weeks they physically dominated the team they went against him they did it in every aspect you could you could bring up today baltimore and cleveland playing tonight and you see pittsburgh moves to 7-1 with that win they got jerome bettis today with deuce staley inactive with a hamstring injury and the bus ran for 149 yards wow and it was just hey he was tremendous that offensive line was had an outstanding day for the steelers today the ruling in the field stan's ass called new england recovered the ball and again you know i really think it had to do with you just can't say for sure that it was definitely the other way not in disputable evidence it's so close it was a thin line right on the sideline and it'll go to the patriots not enough there to overturn it so new england now which operates more efficiently than anyone in the league in the last two minutes of the first half has a full assortment of timeouts and we've got the next halftime report coming up shortly with greg and dan and shannon and boomer from the studio in new york first and ten with a minute and two to go in the first half brady's pass incomplete was looking for kevin faulk and a flag this will be a late hit on the quarterback leonard little or a blow to the head this drive [Music] this defense [Music] leonard little scored the game's first touchdown but now the patriots are set up after this play by little cost him 15. that's uh well they got away with one it looks like leonard little put his face in the tom brady he did not lower his head and use the crown of his helmet which is illegal he used his face [Applause] and mike marks is doing some jawing on the sideline 56 seconds first down new england brady zips it goes right through his hands you know jim this remember the drive when they won their first super bowl tom brady got at the end of the game not much time left three timeouts against the st louis rams and they drove down and kicked the game winning field goal tom brady has taken his team to four touchdowns this season in the last two minutes 31 points in all the patriots have scored this season in the final two minutes of the first half that's the tops in the league second down 10. [Music] bringing everybody and gibbons had fallen unable to get back in time to make the catch jerimetrius butler again as the cover man look outside tom brady needs to get rid of the football david gibbons doesn't come out of the cut real well you know the playing on this aster turf is tough for visiting teams sometimes the traction is actually too good [Music] there it is four touchdown passes the four touchdowns brady's led him to in the last two minutes [Applause] [Music] third and ten [Applause] brady great time pass caught patton's first catch of the day and the patriots set up now at the 37 and they take their first time out they're driving they're at the st louis 37 leading 16-14 gymnast phil sims bonnie bernstein and we talked to tom brady about why he's so efficient in the last two minutes yeah you know jim there's a couple reasons why first off good protection and he lets the second receiver come across the middle troy brown was first look at that big hole and he makes a perfect throw and if you want protection against the rams you better take care of 91 a double teaming kevin paul hits him before he goes out but one of the reasons why they're so good they practice it all the time of course every single week and it's the same place in the two-minute drill so you get really good at executing that that small group of plays in these kind of situations again the blitz on the way brady steps away from the pressure ball in the air and almost picks the one gross had a chance off the deflection tell you what these corners for the saint louis rams jerimetrius butler on the top of your screen not backed it away in fact david gibbons used his hand and pushed him away they are being aggressive coming inside and trying to intercept these passes they're they're being set up for a double move that's not something they've done with efficiency this year at all the rams they have only two picks worst in the league in that category when you over play you give them a move and go deep second and ten wide open and david patton steps out as travis fisher bouncing them out but a 14-yard pickup well i tell you jim you talked about it how good they are in these type of situations tom brady nice and relaxed finds space in the pocket and just lasers the football to the outside to david patton david patton with two catches on this drive 24 seconds to go in the half and again 31 points this season last two minutes of the half and they're driving again you play it safe if you're on defense brady rolling out looking looking archuleta was moving in on him and it's incomplete with 18 seconds and why i'm saying you play it safe jim look at the situation look where they're at they're on the 23-yard line you almost say that adam benataria is surely going to make the field goal so make him throw it short but they gamble they're on the blitz tom brady gets out of the pocket but the coverage downfield saves [Music] come back to me he's saying come back yeah that's right when he moves out of the pocket he doesn't do it a lot when he gets way outside but you've got to change her route when the quarterback moves kevin casper sees his first action of the game receiver at the bottom of your screen now in motion [Applause] and they fake the snap to brady it goes to falk and with not a lot of room he decides to step out gibbons was trying to throw a block there is a flag we've got some quarterbacks doing some good acting here today which one was the better actor this time brady uh doing the old thing bulger tried to pull off on the last series by the rams brady stole that from brett offside defense number 96 five yard penalty repeat second down [Music] well we saw mark bulger his acting tom brady oh it's a high snap [Music] tell you what that's you saw the two nominees who do you give the uh the oscar to neither how's that can you do that i thought bulger yeah may have out-acted them well let's see if brady can out throw him on second down with 12 seconds to go in the half corey dillon the single back you give up the completion and sacrifice a field goal you don't take a chance the pressure he had to get it away and leonard little forced that whole play patrick pass incomplete the target but brady had no chance eight seconds still time for one more play no they're going to bring out vina terry well you bring him out you still have two timeouts left and what this does and you know i'm sure coach belichick's thinking about it bad snap fall on it call a timeout and and line up and try it again they call a timeout right now with eight seconds to go in the half minute terry out for his fourth try of the day all right during this time out the patriots have thought about it they bring back out the offensive unit one more play you still have a timeout eight seconds to go that's enough time to make a full play without dangering put your team in danger of not getting the field goal unit out if you catch it over the middle you don't think you're going to score you could you give yourself up and call a timeout tom brady knows he cannot hold the football it's got to be a quick decision and throw it immediately from the 18 eight seconds [Applause] jackson made that play almost impossible for brady boy it did i tell you what the st louis rams they are getting to tom brady off and on tioka jackson 97 just keeps hustling tom brady can see the pressure coming in will you hold your breath though when you see the yeah tackle right around the knees when the hit comes low brady talks to kevin faulk wanted to know a little bit about that pressure picking up the blitz 36-yard try on the way adam benatari to close out the half and adam vinatieri is again a story when facing the rams four field goals in the half 1914 patriots the last two halves of football between these teams end with vinatary field goals going back to new orleans and now today the only touchdown for the patriots linebacker coming into offense isaac bruce from bulger for the rams new england leads it you're watching the nfl on cbs patriots lead it at halftime 19-14 corey dillon back for new england today opening up that ground attack that was invisible a week ago dillon with 48 yards rushing in that first half the only touchdown went to mike frable coming in on offense making the grab mike martz his team found isaac bruce for a score but the patriots lead it they've won 28 straight when leading at halftime we'll continue up to this work from your local station as you're watching the nfl on cbs [Music] we are back in st louis with the patriots leading the rams in 1914 jim nance along with phil sims and bonnie bernstein what are your thoughts there as we head to the second half well a couple ways to look at it for the new england patriots they got to be happy they controlled the pace of play here so they they have the st louis rams offense sitting on the sideline for the rams they just got to find a way to get the new england offense off the field all right the numbers do you see anything inside the numbers that stands out no nothing that really just came out that you know the turnovers have have been the big the big difference tom brady fumbling in his own end zone gave st louis one touchdown but besides that both teams when given the opportunity are moving it on offense if you protect the quarterback they're going to find somebody open down the field to make the throw arlen harris gets it past the 20 with a flag with a flag 25 25-yard run back matt chatham on the hit so active on the special teams during the return holding by the receiving team number 55 10 yard penalty tough start coming for the rams they'll be back near the 10 yard line this game got started with an open field goal by vina terry and then a fumble of a brady pass to made it 7-6 leonard little landed on it for the touchdown brabel caught a score for the patriots and then bulger to bruce give the rams the lead back 14-13 but the half closed with an adam vinatieri field goal his fourth of the first half and a 1914 lead as we begin the third quarter st louis operates from its 12-yard line comes out with a double tight information cameron cleland in the lineup fake the fault look for the tied in wasn't open and that ball bounces out incomplete joey good speed was the target let's check in what did you hear out there bonnie well jim an injury update on asante samuel not really an update because the patriots are still maintaining he's questionable to return with an arm injury on the other side of the rams mike martz very frustrated that his offense hasn't been able to take advantage of the weak sega secondary on the patriot side but the thing quite honestly that he's most aggravated about jim is the officiating the leonard little roughing the passer the questionable fumble with mark bulger he really didn't want to talk about much else other than the zebras after the half all right bonnie again that was late in the half and all the fumble and the late hit call on little led to that last field goal for the patriots second down ten an open space that's marshall faulk eugene wilson finally ends the run after a gain of about 11. [Applause] fantasy notebook let's see who piled up some numbers 176 yards and a touchdown pass by brady and bulger nine of 10. corey dylan four yards of pop marshall falk 33 yards he just added 11 to that total isaac bruce and tori holt with isaac bruce catching the touchdown yeah it was interesting listen to bonnie bernstein she talked to mike martz and you just think about what he is his reputation you know he's got to be frustrated with the passing game rookie steve jackson steven jackson for a loss of a yard keith trailer mike frable mike martz told us on friday he said i have put in new routes new routes for the wide receivers because the patriots play a few defenses that we don't see during the year and i know he was excited and you know that's when i said in the first half he goes man i must like to throw it every down because he knows they're weakened they don't rush the passer real well that's what he thought but today they're they're pressuring mark bulger a little more than i think they would like him to like him too second down 11. again go against that secondary teddy brewski says no you won't good example of it just that time i mean teddy brewski not really uh what i would call a good pass rushing linebacker gets in there and he just catches he catches chris ditchman by surprise and just goes right around him and gets mark bulger for the sack and a loss of nine teddy brewski who signed a extension in the off season and boy talking about a coach's dream he said i want to be a patriot wearing number 54 my whole career i am a patriot i don't want to be anywhere play for anyone else yeah that's right he was his own agent whichever i go well when you have what's the old saying when you represent yourself you have a fool for a client well i don't think he feels that way no he's not for him it worked out the best way he knows the market he knew what was right wrong and he went out there and got it done for himself and third and 20 carry for about 10 yards will bring out sean landata it was teddy brewski who was the captain of the all sims team last year he was troy brown a wide receiver now playing defensive back and it's been fun watching today be it defensive back and boy that's that's some tough double duty troy brown doing it on offense to defense mike frable defense offense he looked over it sean mcdonald a little bit didn't he and here's sean landeta who was a sims teammate on that giants super bowl winning team back in the 1986 season and kevin faulk makes the catch at the 46. back in 1986 the man's been doing it in a long time the duke we'll see the patriots first possession we've got golf next weekend on cbs the franklin templeton shootout greg norman the host and great host he is with a strong field we'll have it next weekend first down corey dillon for about three maybe four and let's go check in again with bonnie bernstein well jim tom brady shares the honor of going to the same high school sarah high school in california is barry bonds and lynn swann but by next saturday he will undoubtedly be the leading fundraiser brady decided to donate the cadillac he won for being last year's super bowl mvp to the high school they set up a website www.tombradycar.com to raffle it off 25 bucks a pop you can log on and the cool thing is the entire super bowl team signed the underside of the hood so that'll be a nice treat and here is brady firing on second and seventh and picking up the first well there he is i'm sorry jim it's but tom brady throwing it right now when you saw him in high school looked like big old stretch in high school but still some of the same qualities very relaxed as he throws the football and what a strike over the middle patience and when the receivers on this turf if they're not held up the line of scrimmage they can get down the field exceptionally fast all but one catch this season for givens gaining the first down this one brings it to the 33. it's dylan lost his footing for a moment recovers and gains 11. tom brady class of 1995 at sarah high school 20 miles south of san francisco in the san mateo area and look at some of the other sarah school graduates barry bonds and lynn swann see lynn with a football basketball and jumping over a hurdle three sport star hall of famer and tom bradycard.com for the raffle ticket there as he raffles off and raises a lot of money for his high school class act here we go first down and it's brady handing it off to dylan down to the 15. dylan running hard his last two plays let's get an update we run it right back to new york and greg gumbel all right jim houston at denver and jake plummer is just having himself a heck of a day this is going to go for a 23-yard touchdown to kyle johnson jake's fourth td pass of the day first ever meeting between these two teams denver's loving it 31-7 in the third well the houston texans thank you greg had come in looking for their first ever three-game win streak and plummer just on fire with four touchdown passes patrick pass in the backfield for the patriots on second and four and they'll have a goal to go situation is troy brown with the grab for eight yards you look at troy brown and what did tom brady tell us last night he's been out for a while he comes back last week and it's like the guy hasn't been away he goes we just got it going right again because you know i just feel comfortable when troy brown is in there you trust him and when you trust a wide receiver you have a tendency it's just subconscious you have a tendency to look at him if everything is equal you're always going to throw it to the guy you trust the most it's a lot of trust he's built up also this season with david gibbons he talked about that freely also first and goal patrick pass he leans forward for a gain of two brady is now over 200 yards on the game throwing well jim you know we we go back and and i'm not a big time of possession guy because i think it's so misleading when you look at football games by the style of offense that you play but it wasn't going to be misleading today the patriots wanted to control the pace keep the rams offense over on the sideline let them lose their rhythm and they are just taking their time and methodically marching down the field again down in this area where daniel graham is so tough third her second down second down and goal brady with a lot of pressure just gets rid of it as leonard little forced the action the rams you look at their numbers from the season have had a hard time containing the opposition's tied in giving up 38 balls to tight ends including randy mcmichael just ate them alive last week but so far today they've shut down the starting titans just mike grebel when he came in lined up as one and scored a touchdown well when you're selling out to stop to run the one guy that's easiest to throw it to is the tight end because he's so close to the quarterback now it's third and goal midway third quarter fake the pitch to pass now they'll go back to him and ridden down hard travis fisher along with tommy pauley adam vinatieri is getting quite a workout he's going to come out for a fifth try of the day he's four for four the bend but don't break defense to rams or kind of using the new england patriots staple against them and it's kept them in this football game look at this they fake they snap at the villa terry throws the touchdown pass to troy brown everybody just stunned where did that come from troy brown comes in as a receiver on the left side they snap it back to the kicker and he finds troy brown open for a touchdown what a play now you can't sneak off the sideline and come on the field but since troy brown was on the field before the play and they're talking about it it's not misleading it's not a misleading it's not deceptive he was on the field and walked over there and lined up [Music] touchdown that's all they were doing jim ed hockey lee was just making sure that troy brown was in the game the play before they stop it where you can be on the bench and sneak off or sneak onto the field and be like one yard on and nobody sees you that is illegal that's unsportsmanlike conduct but nice play caught us all by a surprise so vina terry now with the extra point i can't believe it here in st louis vinatari's kicked four field goals and thrown a touchdown pass with his first career pass in the nfl in his ninth year and it goes for a touchdown and you know jim real quick troy brown was on the sideline but he came on they'll start at the 20. as veneterre puts the patriots up 26-14 [Music] here comes troy brown from the bench he gets inside the numbers then he slowly walks out outside watch the ram players they just start counting to make sure that they have 11 defenders nobody looks outside to see troy brown to the top adam beneteri he's cool makes perfect throw well they got that ball and play talking about the officials real quick too i wonder if new england alerted him that the play was coming first down pitch outside it's mcdonald for about six you know jim i want to go back bill belichick when i was with the new york giants in 1979 he was the special teams coach and we stunk on offense so we were unbelievably creative on special teams we had trick plays every single week and throw it to the punter bounce the football across the field on kickoff returns so those type of plays i'm sure he's passed them along to brad seeley the special teams coach and what perfect timing they had it set up i'm sure the team was alerted and the officials and that's why it worked second down for bulger they'll run out of the pocket pick up the first down [Music] but tom brady is cool and calm and oh he likes it says hey i'm not the only guy who can throw touchdowns around adam terry's going i make all the big field goals and i have a perfect quarterback rating i think if uh this were thanksgiving and i would think adam vinody might have a chance to get the all iron award huh no no no again this patriots secondary what a job you talk about depleted group of individuals with thai law typhool asani samuel who started he was really the third corner on the season so now you're back down to randall gay and earthwind moreland just signed off the practice squad this week and what did bill belichick say to us i said you know i try to phrase the question he goes we'll do what we can and that's that was it so but they're they are doing what they can they're being physical but really a lot of they're covering well but the big guys up front are putting some pressure on bulger too let's see how the rams respond second down 10. and up across the middle picked off picked off by roman pfeiffer pfeiffer inside the 30 and down to the 21. 25-yard run back ball deflected by willie mcginnis what do the rams love to do more than anything else they like to throw it inside the deep end cuts mark bulger is going to throw over this area look at the defenders around it there's one underneath one in front one behind and roman pfeiffer comes up with the tip it's the third turnover of the day committed by saint louis take away the team's strength that's what you always want to do on defense like right away you say well the rams like to throw it inside if nothing else let's take away those deep in cuts they haven't taken away all day but that time they were ready for it and they get the interception let's take the crowd out of it also well they were never in it quiet crowd the dome here is not near as loud as it used to be years ago first down 10 from the 21. go for the big ball early well the pressure prevents that so they dump it short and dillon tackled at the 16. leonard little again creating pressure on the quarterback check out the nfl.com poll who would you pick as the nfl's mid-season mvp you can cast your vote at nfl.com what do you think some guys putting up some unbelievable numbers this year but you got to take a guy when you say mvp it's got to be with the team that's winning i peyton manning is just going unnoticed i don't know why i guess we're getting used to the astounding numbers but that would be my pick right now his colts have lost three games they have they've also won five i think right as well minnesota and here you see dylan step ahead for three yards he has put up phenomenal numbers mcnabb was on that list and they suffered their first loss today carol owens you know he has he has truly made a difference coming from the 49ers to the philadelphia eagles we had to laugh when we saw that little confrontation he had with mcnabb because we were there in the preseason we talked to him that's right and we said will you conduct yourself the right way well as long as i'm catching passes and we're winning okay today's first day they're not winning it he had something to say to his quarterback he's consistent third down and three for the patriots quick slant first down at the five yard line with david givens it's interesting two ways to play the game the new england patriots you've already seen that play a couple times a day everybody to the right fake the run to the right throw the slam pass to the back side there's no defenders no underneath coverage then you talk about the saint louis rams they're famous for never repeating plays they run it once they go on to the next one the patriots they'll go back to back and run the same play well then that's the case let's bring out binatarian throw a pass right now what do you think from about right here five yard line first and goal and dylan will step in for the touchdown corey dillon he got away from dejuan gross and goes in with ease pretty impressive corey dillon's gone man i like this turf set up by roman pfeiffer's interception pfeiffer's first pick in three seasons leads to a cory dillon run from five yards out you've got to come up and be aggressive and attack him otherwise he'll run you over then you're so aggressive he makes a nice little stop cuts inside and basically goes untucked into the end zone vinaite and another point 20 unanswered by the patriots the lead 33-14 33-14 new england patriots have had the ball for 23 minutes versus 18 for the rams it's coming off of a week when the patriots held the football for only 17 minutes their lowest total and champs to bring down arlen harris at the 26. adam vinatieri what a performance booting four field goals and throwing a touchdown pass there you go the most accurate passer in the nfl [Music] [Applause] [Music] we're back in st louis first down for the rams from the 27th getting steamrolled here in the last quarter and a complete ball the pass on first down to tory holt for 12. [Music] 20 unanswered by the patriots think about the patriots today they throw a touchdown pass to linebacker mike vrabel and their kicker adam vinatieri throws a touchdown to troy brown unconventional indeed as we and bulger throwing again on first down for another completion and they'll move the chains once more sean mcdonald with the grab well they're going to the hurry up offense when you're down 19 points you need to change it of course and change the momentum give the quarterback a little more time by putting him in the shotgun and hopefully you you'd like to tire out the defensive line troy brown is back in the secondary he's getting double duty today as marshall faulk gets hit from behind gain of eight rodney harrison with the tackle and tully bana kane also second down and two as they continue the hurry up mode two minutes to go third quarter down 19. well they're going to get them back in the huddle now you know when that hurry up offense when the quarterback gets under the center and the running backs behind him it's a pretty good giveaway there's going to be a run watch troy brown he is manning up against sean mcdonald in the slot to the left second down and two deflected at the line of can you imagine troy brown coming up with an interception put that one in the stat book almost dead the whole new england patriot sideline all jumped up because they know what's going on there and that's about the fourth or fifth time i've seen this exact route where troy brown is running across the field covering sean mcdonald and hey come on he's a wide receiver look you've seen it about four times he's gonna go underneath and look for the interception and might have had it if the ball wasn't tipped he's got better hands when he plays on offense i don't know what happens when he goes to the other side hey shoot you get nervous third down two don't get embarrassed could be a draw [Music] well timeout called by the rams third and two on the way down 19. and it's adam vinatieri starring today he's on the sidelines seeing all kinds of different ways of trying to win a game today put up by new england good passer rating though quarterback rating of 122.9 oh man he'll talk about that for about the next three or four weeks but look at this situation i think this is a huge part of the game because the rams defense has shown they're not going to get get off the field too fast against the new england offense i would think the rams would run it because this is definitely four down territory shift around they put fault on a wing to the right passing formation third and two and they come around with mcdonald's getting look at this what a disaster willie mcginnis and earth win moreland just brought up from the practice squad contribute to a seven yard loss yeah i understand what you're doing you're expecting them to play aggressive on the defense and chase you but look nobody's playing man-to-man earth when they're that's why they're in such good position they're looking into the backfield waiting to see what happens so they are not fooled and they get the tackle for the loss and they're going for it here as we approach a minute to go third quarter [Applause] fourth down and nine now they're going to play man-to-man [Music] and he steps out of the 25 but we see a pair of flags on the field could be offsetting holding on the offense illegal contact on the defense and we have a third penalty down here by the tackle [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there were fouls by both teams on the play holding offense number 77 there was also holding defense number 37. the penalty's offset you play the down replay the down fourth down now another linesman comes over and says hold on there was also a flag thrown in on the tackle when they bumped a hole out of bounds anybody else who threw a flashlight after the play was over there was taunting unsportsmanlike conduct by both teams offense number 81 defense number 42 those penalties offset 3.4 down [Music] that's four by my count this is the taunting to dexter reed torrey holt well they're just having double pop now a couple more i you know torrey holt was just doing it i think in a good sportsman-like manner there that's the way i took it but maybe he was saying something that wasn't real kind you met with torrey holt doesn't seem like a guy that gets upset at a whole lot i've never he's the happiest football player i've ever been around and i've been around him quite a bit enjoys what he does why not wide receiver for the saint louis rams with his talent i'd smile a lot too he'd enjoy it a lot more if he could find a way to help this team pick up a first down on fourth and nine and bulger has the open man first down that's isaac bruce for 17. [Music] well that was awfully tough on troy brown all the receivers are to the right they cross each other troy brown is not used to seeing this he gets caught up in the mess watch him come underneath oh troy brown says oh i got him hey it doesn't look this complicated when i'm running down the field so there's a lot to learn a lot to know when you're trying to be a defensive back against a team that does multiple plays formations and they cross receivers look at troy bouncing around brown remains in on defense first down they swing it to fall and we'll step out moreland had the angle on him only three yards gained 21 seconds to go third quarter tonight on cbs folks this is a big one the cast of dallas is back the biggest reunion special in tv history the ewings back together again all the ewings are there including patrick all right not patrick ewing it's patrick duffy i got it tonight that's probably one of the few things i watched jim get done on a thursday night at football run home my wife and i we've watched dallas i thought it was friday night wasn't he bad with another catch for a short gain i'm sure you were watching i was watching that was knott's landing you were watching i watched that too time out on the field into the third quarter [Music] we're going to start the fourth quarter in st louis as the rams try to do something here positive in the second half third quarter went all new england ninth play of a drive coming up including a big conversion on a fourth and nine and they'll start the final quarter down 33-14 football at the patriots 23 third and five for bulger who started this game nine of nine but little success thereafter first down [Applause] for seven running behind timmerman and williams well that was a good call because i think still the rams and mark balls you got to think look at the scoreboard 33-14 you're down 19 points a field goal gets you within two scores but that's two touchdowns two two extra points that you've got to be thinking touchdown here unless it's just a terrible fourth down situation it was the first third down conversion of the game for the rams first down from the 16. bulger with time back in the end zone and double coverage including rodney harrison and earthwind moreland on torrey holt tuesday night country's biggest night it's the superstars of country music tim mcgraw gretchen wilson faith hill rascal flatts and shania twain and a whole lot more brooks and dunn will host the country music awards live this tuesday at 8 7 central on america's most watched network kevin curtis sent to the left side in a slot from the shotgun bulger operates second down and 10. [Applause] looking right the whole way looking for hope he has it touchdown st louis earth when moreland had the coverage but he didn't look up now will they go for two coming in down 19 you would think two touchdowns two twos and a field goal here is the touchdown what a catch two by holt yeah what a throw by mark bulger when he threw it i said oh that's the wrong place to throw the football but he he did the right thing he put some pace on the ball where the defender did not have time to turn around and look for it you got to like this call right now it's the math is this is what you have to do now yeah you just think you're 13 down you want to make it 11. and if you get it till 11 it's a touchdown two-point conversion in the field go so i like it and if they miss it it does not hurt them because a field goal by the patriots puts them at 36. they can still score two with the two touchdowns and the two two-point conversions and two touchdowns you know what the patrons score you win so there's a lot of scenarios and what i'm trying to say is excellent decision right here it all adds up two-point drive go on the ground fault lower in the shoulder and they say he got it they say he crossed the plane that was close well as far as we were away it looked like he did get into the end zone let's take a look does any part of that football break the plane a little different look it's close [Applause] but again i don't think there's enough evidence there to overturn it if it wanted to be challenged it could be challenged by bill belichick he's got the red flag in his hand belichick new england is challenging the ruling on the field that it was a good the guy was in for a touch for a try for point well you're hearing the announcement here it's going to be challenged it was uh just thrown the red flag by belichick took him a while he wanted to get word upstairs what did you see phil well here's from the back side when i saw this one go okay it looks like he's got the football in his right arm and it might have got over the the goal line but from the other side it's it's close just has to touch the plane they'll look at it upstairs and downstairs we're back here in the gateway city and bill belichick challenging the two-point conversion here's the new england has challenged the ruling on the field but the ball penetrated the goal on the try for point after reviewing the play the ruling stands as called the strong point of good [Applause] will [Music] so they'll lose the timeout again i just don't think there's enough evidence to say clearly that he didn't cross the plane the other side here it's close yeah it's just so close it's i don't know how you could decide one way or the other but it was called a touchdown on the field from that angle you'd say okay probably did it but when you see the football in his arms from the other side so close but you're right jim the result we have an 11 point game and this is a rams team that earlier this season pulled off the second best comeback in nfl history down 17 to see bethel johnson wide open gap bethel johnson with a flag thrown tackled at the 47 by the kicker jeff wilkins [Applause] oh big penalty 20-yard line half the distance to the goal during the return illegal block in the back by the receiving team number 30. after this is the goal england keeps the ball first down hold on jarrod cherry [Music] last five possessions they've all led the points three touchdowns and a pair of field goals so the 39-yard run back by bethel johnson nullified patriots start at the 10. brady faking into the line and almost picked off he was looking for daniel graham and tino yi samoa could have made a huge play in this game the number one thing they always say quarterback look in front of the receiver tom brady runs this play a lot and tino isamoa comes off of where he was he saw tom brady looking up the field and comes across the field and just misses the interception now the crowd comes to life and this is the end of the field where it got so boisterous for brady in the first half he fumbled it was recovered for a touch second and ten and dylan for about three maybe four you need pressure on the quarterback you got the crowd you got a good situation troy brown back in on offense at the top of your screen they put the tight end to linear little side to make sure he's not going to be a factor and they double teaming third and six brady steps up zips it and incomplete the rams will get the ball back he was looking for troy brown well they double team leonard little he's so quick and so fast on this surface he makes tom brady step up so hard that he loses a little bit control of the football and he throws it a little high tommy paulie came in late yeah hit by a little head butt wasn't it yeah with the face so that drive only used up a minute and 15 seconds miller picking away to mcdonald he retreats at first now moves forward and out of bounds at the 40. excellent starting position for bulger he drove him last time down 11 st louis will have it at its own 40. 13 minutes remaining in st louis yeah you've warned everybody this team 17 points down six minutes to go against the seattle seahawks [Applause] came back to win it in overtime on the road yep different team different defense down 19 to start this fourth quarter already with a touchdown drive and a two and bulger gets away from the heat and this will be a short gain but it could have been a sack monument with the catch and for those expecting to see 60 minutes you're watching the nfl on cbs and the game between the patriots and the rams a rematch of super bowl 36. samuel has come back into the game for the patriots he's at the bottom of your screen and that pass broken up by troy brown with a flag thrown it's gonna be a penalty because it's a face shield he jumps up throws his arms up does not turn around and find the football interference defense number eighty not playing the ball the ball is placed at the spot of the foul watch troy brown though i'll tell you it's pretty impressive oh he did try to turn a little bit just not enough but he is doing some job [Applause] again we're here at the dome in the gateway city of st louis as teams from st louis and the boston area meet again as they did in the super bowl here it's the patriots leading 33-22 big day by their kicker adam vinatieri four field goals and he's thrown a touchdown and here richard seymour gets to bulger and vince wilfred that is just they are just overpowering the ram offensive line mcginnis on richard seymour 93 vince wilfork 75 it's a race richard seymour wins does he get a half a sack do they share it or do you give it all the seymour well they'll argue in the film room tomorrow but i don't know what they're going to put up i would say richard seymour is going to get the sack that is overall the fifth sack by new england today by five different players second down twenty he actually may have just misjudged that a little bit yeah he did and mark bulger waited just a little too long to throw it out there he threw it about 55 yards or more torrey holt watch him come inside he knows he might be double-teamed look and then he breaks it back to the outside if mark bulger would have got it out there a little quicker and thrown it to the sideline more torrey holt would have made the catch so again asante samuel is back on the field eugene wilson he's gone throughout there's samuel he's been out really for almost three quarters yeah i would think he just can't tackle somebody jim that's what where his shoulder would be a problem injured his shoulder on the third play of the game by the patriot defense this is fault getting away from roman pfeiffer with a flag on the field and falk is tackled at the 35 but it's going to come back it appears [Applause] [Music] something else so third and 20. short pass they picked up the first down [Applause] [Music] yard penalty repeat third down called on grant williams the former patriot watch the right tackle and this is what's happening to him all day the the ram offensive line especially on the edges they're just they're they're backing up and the patriots are just power rushing no moves just run them over and they're crushing the pocket and mark bulgers he's having a hard time looking down the field finding the receivers well here's a number for you third and 30. [Music] well i think they're going to try they're going to throw something that gives them a chance to pick it up harrison blitzing pass long man open and just short of the target kevin curtis with troy brown defending it's a blitz it's one-on-one coverage everywhere rodney harrison coming free grant williams trying to save his quarterback troy brown knows it's an all-out blitz and if kevin curtis would have looked just a little quicker it would have been a completion you know the last time rodney harrison was in this building and going after a quarterback number 10 he really changed the course of the rams history it was a pre-season game of august 99 he was a charger with harrison and he came in and hit trent green for an acl green that brought in a guy named kurt warner now the run back kevin faulk off to the 37. so just inside 11 minutes to go and it's 11-point lead first down patriots leading by 11. 11 minutes remaining [Applause] corey dillon running free corey dylan to the 50 and into st louis territory 15-yard run zigging and zagging past the linebackers you think those penalties by the st louis rams weren't big it changed field position it took the crowd out of the game completely there's no noise and now the patriots hey you're more relaxed when you get away from that goal line and they call running play and they just stone everybody up front knock them out of the way and corey dillon gets another first down remember dylan had hundred yard performances his last two outings he set out last week with a thigh injury seven away from 100 today a nice move and a lot of work for two yards little on the hit [Music] a week ago this team had only six rushing attempts tying the all-time low in nfl history of the chicago cardinals set the mark in 1933 they matched it today 22 attempts they had five yards rushing second lowest in the history of the franchise today over a hundred on the ground and all with dylan the bulk of it [Applause] three tied ins on second down and eight dylan again steps outside and picks up two and we're gonna give you an update back to you greg gumbel in new york all right jim houston at denver dominick davis with a one-yard touchdown run his second of the day the two-point conversion failed but this has all the makings of a bronco victory with just over four minutes to play it's 31-13 denver jim and phil all right thank you greg and reuben drones has another 100-yard game today for the broncos broncos and seahawks are looking down the road at a match up december the 5th as the chargers i said seahawks the chargers and the broncos starring in the afc west third down six pass across the middle what a grab by gibbons [Applause] for 12. well you know we talked to tom brady last night and he just talked about david gibbons and you know he says david givens has gotten in more because of the injuries dion branch was hurt troy brown was hurt he got in there and he said he's taking advantage of the opportunity he plays big he's able to use his body shield off the defender and that time not a good throw by tom brady but givens reaches out and makes a very tough catch and he has a hundred yards for the third straight game he's the first patriot to do that since ben coach 10 years ago patrick pass on first down for a gain of four let's go back to greg in new york all right jim it's all over in san francisco shootout won by the seattle seahawks matt hasselbeck one of his three touchdown passes on the day this one to corey robinson but the seahawks very impressive in frisco 42-27 is the final [Applause] all right greg thank you and steve and sean alexander out there another monster day with 160 yards on the ground and a pair of scores so the seahawks win on the road patriots time trying to do that here in st louis midway fourth [Applause] [Music] [Applause] with a great block that led to 19 yards boy it really was you're talking matt light daniel graham gets a good job on the outside matt light kicks out cope in the center pulls out he gets a good block and patrick pass set it up perfectly he makes you think he's going outside he cuts it back in another first down and that's the sign of a team that can run the football when you line up at the end of the game with the lead everybody knows you're going to run it and you still get it done ass has given this team a lift today also after missing two games with an injury returning today 57 total yards dylan missed and goal with the 10. going outside and bumped out by aeneas williams and that gives corey dillon a hundred yards for a third straight game he's participated in you know it's amazing doesn't it jim you you're a fan we're both fans but when corey dillon is the main guy all of a sudden patrick pass and kevin faulk you you notice them more because they're in their role with their comfort level but when you take them out of it and make them the number one guy it ruins everything so it's the old trickle down effect lose the top guy it affects the two and three second and goal and look at dylan finally taken down butler got him by the ankles six minutes left no gain on that one third and goal coming up for the patriots a touchdown would seal it for the patriots if you kick a field goal you're only up 14 and of course then the st louis rams are still in it now they bring in bethel johnson running back is behind the quarterback third and goal fake dylan across the middle touchdown bethel johnson his first of the season [Applause] man the patriots they run this play a lot and it just keeps working when you run the football well nice fake nobody covering bethel johnson in the end zone good touch by tom brady [Music] the patriots are really really good inside to five with play action fakes and passes took five and a half minutes on the clock for that drive to all but ice it military adds one more bethel johnson has his first touchdown of the season third career and the patriots are up 18. [Music] he's had quite a day four field goals how did you like the motion on that pass uh it was a very very good motion for a kicker [Laughter] oh no it was all right listen i'll tell you his throw motion looked a lot better than my kicking motion would be in an nfl game there you go what a rebound for the patriots today though after last week just physically getting dominated nothing going their way mistakes couldn't run the ball we showed the graphic of all the negative uh stats that went their way and to come back today jim decimated and for this effort and to do it in this environment decimated in that second there and going against the fun and gun and all that you get with st louis they've overcome injuries so much in the past they've won two super bowls they just they don't they do not let adversity destroy the football team that's one of their greatest attributes arlen harris high steps to the 25. let's go back to new york for the update all right jim the final in san diego they knocked off the saints drew brees four touchdown passes today including that seven yarder to antonio gates the chargers are six and three with a 43-17 win over new orleans guys thank you greg how about that that's what we're talking about look at the chargers who will have a buy next week and denver you know what's on its way to a win also what's amazing about the chargers it's not that they're six and three it's how they're doing it they are just hey they're putting some weapons on some people and drew brees hey cutting get rid of him marty shot and armor is going to be fired i was probably leading that brigade running both out of town right been wrong in a lot of things in my life and it'll continue but boy oh boy marty shot number's done a good job upside defense unabated to the quarterback number 55 five yard penalty first down we saw those standings out west with the chargers six and three and about to be joined by the broncos who were beating up on houston today and again they'll have their first match of those two about uh four weeks out in san diego and you know you've never imagined that the chargers could put up 43 points on a day when tomlinson yeah averages two yards a carry 36 yards nothing that shows you how this team has really grown down field and that was over the head of holt and dangerously close to bing pick now what about the afc east with the jets coming off the big monday night win falling flat today to buffalo well i don't know if they fell flat they just went up to it against a team that was deceiving with their record and you know buffalo is one of the worst places to play in the nfl the crowd the the weather it makes it tough so that was going to be a tough game for him but the patriots they showed why they are the super bowl champions and and jim we talked about it they come in here and they just overcome a lot of obstacles that were in their way and found a way to get it done second at five that'll get him another set of downs mcdonald bumped out by [Applause] moreland well the patriots remember their 21-game win streak ended a week ago in pittsburgh and today they're going to start a new one and they'll go next back to foxborough for buffalo a team that's won three of its last four and then at kansas city not easy games don't look at the record they're three and five both those teams don't look especially looking at buffalo physical we saw that first matchup with the bills and that was a close one until a late fumble forced by brewski was picked up and run back 68 yards for a touchdown by richard seymour to win the game false start offense number ten five yard penalty still first down you know you know jim i i think about this game and we talked to tom brady you know last night and we asked well how were the coaches you know this past week and he goes well they were bad this week because we were bad but that made us feel kind of good yeah he liked that yeah you know good it made us feel kind of good because see our coaches are always mad no matter if we win or lose so okay i think i got it at least at least there was a reason to be miserable that's how he framed it yeah that's right miserable that's the word so that's how they are they don't get up and down they're the same way all the time and it's marshall i thought i was talking to yogi vera there for a second this is yogi's hometown oh that's right st louis but this it's it really is the depth the ability just not to get sidetracked don't feel sorry for yourself because you know it's the old saying nobody cares if you got a lot of guys hurt nobody cares back over to mcdonald and he failed to estimate exactly where he needed to go to get the first down it's third and one on the way 423 remaining i'll say this about the nfc west as you look at the standings mike martz kind of told us and put it in really in a good frame of mind he goes look we're not worried about our records and where we're going to all that we're just worried we just want to win the nfc west just concentrate on those teams let's beat them because that's all that matters if you go seven and nine and it's the best record here your division you go to the playoffs they're down one [Music] with the grab at the 13. that might be offsides against the patriots 35-yard hookup talking about mike martz he had never lost coming off a box inside defense number 59 the penalty has declined first down so the big gain is a go march was 4-0 coming off a bye and they do things differently in a bye week than anybody else and it's always worked until this week well that's right they do he just makes the players work out you see torrey hope going down the sideline again way down the field good protection yeah he just makes the players work out doesn't take them on the football field and practice them but they came back after the week off on monday full pads and he says they got after it so he was really his mood was tremendous great spirits he thought his team was going to come in here and play not just good really well today first down pass back to fall makes the dance move down at the 10. mark said with my fingers crossed we're kind of coming out of the buy i believe with a lot of things falling into place and he's been saying he's been consistent all year he thought this team by the second half of the year would really be going strong here's the problem when you watch this team and i'm not second guessing because i said it to you we just i think they did beat up a little too much up on both sides good offensive line but he gets pushed around and nice effort kevin curtis did he touch the pile that's what they're discussing kind of halfway up [Applause] the ball hit the pylon in the player's possession which by rule is a touchdown there you go that's it kevin curtis with the touchdown he's in bounds as he jumps yes looks like he is and he reaches oh what a job what about his feet never saw it do it both feet stay in bounds [Music] here comes the flag the red flag three yard line here it comes see how far he can toss it that was a good one that was just okay got that one going about 15 yards vina terry like new england has challenged the ruling on the field of the touchdown they're going to challenge and they're going to win it you got to think they are what's the receiver what's the right foot now the left foot it is yeah one inside it is clearly out on the three-yard line ball could be placed just inside under the curtain for hockley [Music] how about the the belichick toss well i've seen bill belichick throw many many footballs in practice it's not bad for him and adam ben and terry were working out together this week i guess [Music] but you know some of the there wasn't any anger or frustration there mainly because of the score it shouldn't take long and the rams will be set up at the three yard line it the appears will get knocked back down to 40 22 if the call goes the way that uh talk about indisputable evidence that replay defines that just that i got to tell you how it's going 40 to 28 that i missed wait if they get a touchdown here this game's not over i i was really confused i was getting ready to say i think we got the score wrong and not ed hockley's just taking i'm sure an extra moment to make sure they know where to spot the football well it's about time where to spot it and what down [Applause] the runner stepped out of bounds on the three-yard line before the ball hit the pylon therefore the ball will be spotted at the three yard line it does result in a first down for st louis there are no timeouts charged randall gay coming up and helped force them out and there's the foot the left foot out back at the three right foot for the record was also it appears out at the two doesn't matter they'll have a first down first end goal at the three 60 minutes coming up for everybody except for those of you on the west coast this is a st louis team that is accustomed to not only putting up a lot of points at home but knowing how to really go full throttle here and put away opponents having won 16 of the last 17 regular season games inside this building yeah you know what goes unnoticed we everybody gets blinded their offense the scoring all this stuff when they had those tremendous teams their defense was pretty dang good the defense doesn't live up to what it had been in the past the middle and squirms for about two well their defense underwent some changes this year they lost some players plus they lost their coordinator lovie smith went to chicago bears they lost probably you know you have leonard little on one side and grant winstrom on the other side rushing to passer he went to seattle that that just changes everything [Applause] not really in any hurry here are they second and goal again again it's not going to work teddy johnson makes the play for a loss of three yeah i know they're they're not rushing things and it's one of the pet peeves and mike martz has gotten a lot of criticism their clock management over the years especially the use of timeouts has not been good ted johnson we talked about it last week and the week before he is really good in short yardage situations and down on the goal line they are really taking their time as we approach 2 30 remaining in the game and the patriots leading by 18. [Applause] now they take a timeout with one second on the play clock that is hard to understand yeah it is and you know what if there were more people here the booze would be louder and they're they're they're deserved i mean why in the world with 11 minutes to go in the game are you in hurry up up and down the field trying to stay in it and here you are with some three minutes to go on the clock and you just run the down clock all the way down to one second and then take a timeout what do you think i mean if you're on the field right now you're still trying to think of every conceivable way you can win a game and one way the only way you're going to do it is by conserving some time yeah that's right well you know listen i i presume the coaches are thinking that way too but they just didn't execute it very well we welcome those of you who saw the broncos today beat the houston texans 31-13 we have a third and goal to go here for the rams with two and a half remaining flag down as they go back over to the tight end and moreland prevents them from making it all the way to the end zone holding [Music] and for those just joining us the rams had it first and goal with the three offense number 66 10 yard penalty repeat third down so they'll repeat third down and they'll go all the way back to the 16-yard line third and goal from the 16. they had it first and goal with the three look at christie number 66 chris dishman on the inside [Music] he's all look at that right hand pulls the jersey of richard seymour [Music] in this game again for the audience that saw the denver broncos improve their record joining the chargers out west six and three marks we've had adam vinatory with four field goals for the patriots plus he threw a touchdown [Applause] bolger on the run and fires it out of bounds we also have mike frable of the patriots their linebacker lineup on offense as he did in the super bowl this past february and he caught a touchdown in the second quarter you know i saw mike frable during the off season and i was having a little fun with him i said hey mike i thought you deserved that mvp trophy of the of the game oh i told and he got all excited tom brady having to be there too he went running up to brady you know rodney harrison remember that meeting we had with riding earlier this year talking about mike grebel being the smartest player on defense like a classroom coach well that's what he wants to be when he gets done playing he wants to be a coach fourth and goal and holt's got to make a move he won't make it home as troy brown is in on the tackle they've had to retreat to go all the way to troy brown's number on defense today with their secondary decimated by injury phil here's what we've seen today five sacks on the quarterback bulger and three turnovers [Music] corey dillon over a hundred david givens with receptions that total over a hundred vina terry good on all four of his field goal tries and his first career pass is his first career touchdown pass any of this surprise you today well you know what i i shouldn't be surprised so many people i guess thought now is going to fall apart for the patriots you don't win two super bowls you don't win 21 in a row unless you have tremendous pride and that's that's what they got so they rebounded they came out here today and they physically just beat the st louis rams and we're back in st louis and it's been all about the streak with the patriots early in the season the talk that finally that streak coming to a close last week in the steel city 21 straight wins but they're going to start a new streak here today and uh what about this rivalry we heard a lot of talk about that in st louis this weekend between st louis and boston and how many times it's gone boston's wave regardless of the sport yeah it well it has okay i was informed by you of all these rivalry games they've had but i know the rams were talking about that super bowl from a couple years ago and i said the telecast i was surprised i still heard about it well you know what we're talking about here the st louis blues and i'm not talking about their hockey team 1957 the celtics won their first championship and it came against the st louis hawks the bruins won their first stanley cup in a number of years over the blues i was back in 70. the patriots in that super bowl and of course the red sox with the sweep just a couple of blocks away [Applause] and it's gonna go boston's way again [Applause] that's going to be enough for a first down by brady let's get another uh update busy day for the crew in the studio let's go back to greg all right jim it's a final at giant stadium and it's not good news at all for giants fans anthony thomas 41 yards here to put the cap on a giants victory in or rather a bears victory against the giants in new york 28-20 one the bears win it thank you greg thank you for all the updates today and you know the shocking thing about that one too phil is that it was 14 nothing in the first quarter of the giants yeah it said well that's going to be a tough loss for the giants [Applause] he's losing too yes [Music] been a tough week after that performance in pittsburgh not a whole lot of smiles but they're breaking out with them now as we're gonna put the patriots now at seven and one well you know why he's smiling because he understands what they've overcome the energy the injuries the way they lost last week in here to st louis against a team that's had a buy their strength goes to where all your injuries are so again tremendous victory for the new england patriots like mike mark said our other matchups two and a half years ago with them we outgained them but they had different ways of beating us they just seemed to do it all the time they had run backs a couple of returns in their matchups their two matchups they actually had in that 01 season today they just wanted really the old-fashioned way physically they just they dominated physically little old-fashioned plus a little unconventional yeah that's right you know pass it all adds up folks to a new england victory 40-22 [Music] [Applause] [Music] they go to seven and one and the rams drop back to four and four
