2008 Week 5 - Steelers @ Jaguars

look down the st. Johns River toward Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for this week five battles the Jaguars get ready to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] Sunday night here we go hey the games back feisty told ya TRUCKING tell to break up the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] on this first Sunday night in October breezy overcast 73 degrees in Jacksonville as the Jaguars come out onto the field in Jacksonville Municipal Stadium ready to take on Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers on NBC's Sunday Night Football now Michael is John man named Jerry Kramer welcome to Jacksonville the Pittsburgh Steelers come in very banged up off that hard-fought Monday night win in overtime against Baltimore Billy Parker won't play against sprained knee his backup on play there - three other starters Ben Roethlisberger so sufferings and affection that sprained shoulder the separated AC joint that he incurred on opening day against Houston but this team is atop its division the AFC North for the mark of 3 and 1 the Jaguars will give them no sympathy they too are - a lot of key people but they a lot better than they did two weeks ago they started out on two then Josh Scobee kicked them in the game 51 yards field gonna beat Indianapolis they defeated the Texans last week and over time they come in two and two chance for a three game winning streak trying to keep pace with the undefeated Tennessee Titans in their division the AFC South John one thing we know about the Jaguars they know how to beat the best receivers they've beaten them four straight times they beat them twice last week looting in the playoffs what has been the formula and what will the formula be tonight well I think because of those four games they come in here with a lot of confidence if they know that they can beat this team and they just play Jack Del Rio football then they're a real tough team and they're going to run the ball and they're gonna throw short quick passes those kinds of things and it's gonna be a little tough perform because they've lost their Center and both guards so the the interior of the offensive line of the jaguars is good trying to open holes for Fred Taylor and Maurice jones-drew now there's Pittsburgh and speaking of their running game Willie Parker is out Rashard Mendenhall is backed up his out a lot of bruised and battered and beaten but as I say three-in-one so how do they approach this game tonight well you know what they're talking about doing they're talking about you know spreading the Jaguar defense out and going feel those kinds of things putting everything on Ben Roethlisberger you know I kind of believe part of that but no one Pittsburgh Steelers and knowing that you know Ben is pretty beat up I really think to some place they're gonna come back to the running game and probably a little bit of no huddle tonight as well they'll do the no huddle yeah yeah no huddle this read about it someplace will come back and run work for it well for them on Monday night so here we go it should be a bruising battle in northern Florida tonight Pittsburgh and Jacksonville [Music] NBC sports home of Super Bowl 43 welcomes you to the following presentation of the National Football League back in Jacksonville the Steelers for years have been able to run the ball but as we said Willie Parker is out Rashard Mendenhall is out they go to their number three running back as their number one tonight for more on that and what the Steelers will do on the ground here's Andrea Cramer and here's your job description third down back return kicks and the aren't Minutemen as include ready on a minutes notice well tonight Li's the future back and worse Arians their offense coordinator told me he also has to show up big in the short passing game now when or needs a break they'll bring in Gary Russell just elevated from the practice squad and they bail out back because new now J Davenport Davenport has not taken organ shadow clarity in exactly nine months which is why Mike Tomlin told me he will be there an emergency short yardage back and played primarily on special teams they kick up the turns now it's showering a little bit down here and expected to do that [Applause] Andrea sounds like everybody but Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier in the bullpen meanwhile for Jacksonville Reggie Nelson is safety and Drayton flourished their corner around so that's half of the defensive backfield grab Meester who for years has been their key offensive lineman is out that he is expected back in a couple of weeks they've also inactivated Christy Olli and they as John said are really hurt in the interior right in the middle of that line and you can see the rain that Andrea is talking about it'll probably be off and on tonight the temperature is 73 degrees and there is not J Davenport Andrea just mentioning the fact that he hasn't even been in pants since last year Jack Del Rio and his Crouch on the sidelines it's work to receive and here we from Jacksonville Florida on Sunday Night Football and Davenport will wonder now from three yards in the end zone and he'll take a big hit up at the 18 yard line and that's where Pittsburgh will take over Greg gasps Tandy and made the tackle here are the Steeler starters Ben Roethlisberger Miami University he will do more Tulane University avoid Georgia Santonio Holmes the Ohio State University Keith Miller Virginia mad space University of Minnesota marvel Smith Arizona State Kris Kim went to University of Utah Justin Hartwig West Des Moines Valley Joe Stapleton Rutgers University across the university and a lot of eyes tonight will be placed on number 70 teeth Darnell Stapleton who makes his first start second year out of Rutgers at white guard first and 10 the ball is at the 17-yard wand and walk less Berger will hand the ball off from a welding more and more we'll have a first down on his first carry and a lot more gain of 18 yards before William James the left corner knocks him down and there's a flag on the play Ron Winter is the referee and a flag on the first offensive play hitting we know that though that the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to run the ball personal foul unnecessary roughness number 95 defense and a first down they are the Pittsburgh Steeler it's great everything that's the Steelers if they've done no but you mentioned Franco Harris the students have been a running team ever since Franco Harris and you see here they go to tight ends they get a pretty good lead they're the welding more starts to the left sees a soft spot over on the right and he hits it perfectly and a penalty was on land e5 Paul Spicer with a personal foul and the Steelers already have crossed the 50 yard line have it at the Jacksonville 49 after one play by the way for the record miss Berg did win the toss teams have been deferring about 50% of the time was here but Tomlin won the toss and elected to receive Roethlisberger a three-step job Lord and jeans will take him down but not till ward picks up a first down so they go right to work on the cornerback James taking the place of Drayton Florence in Pittsburgh as you can see only two touchdowns in the last 38 drives that was one of the things that Ben Roethlisberger talked about last night he really hadn't thrown much all week and this was going to be the first time he was thrown so he wanted to start off with the shorter quicker too variety a Pittsburgh doesn't do a lot of three-step rock that was the 3-step drop since I then said feste burg employs a two or more tight end set more than any team in the league almost half the time 47% and over the middle the pass is incomplete he tried to get it to that number two tight end that's Matt spate at six seven and Brian Williams the safety provides the coverage second down at ten for the Steelers you know so many more teams are doing that is playing with two tight ends and then having one of those tight ends that can be a move guy and in addition be the fullback so they don't have a fullback anymore and that's what the Steelers are doing here they'll they'll have the tight end up on the Lions by then but they'll also have him as a fullback and a lead blocker speaking of their fullback that would be Carrie Davis normally and he's another guy who is hurt Roethlisberger that's the second key fit but he does get in the way and that'll they're going to say the play is over the play is over in the backfield because Ron winter is going to say he was in the grasp and down he went and John Henderson number 98 will get credit for the sack the guy you have to get blocked on this Jaguar line is John Henderson the big defensive tackle and you see he gets the penetration right there not only the penetration but he's the guy that gets the sack he takes big bend down good go right right right the knee was down Ron winner the referee blew the whistle [Applause] 18 they have to get to the 26 yard line the balls at the 44 here comes the Blitz Roethlisberger steps a minute there's an interception of the 28 yard line Roisin memphis who had two picks of Roethlisberger last year in the playoff game and blocking go away for the touchdown Roisin Malthus always has big games against the Pittsburgh Steelers to see Malthus is here he's playing off keep reading reading reading that's just a bad throw San Antonio Holmes is doing a hook he doesn't even look the ball goes over his head right to Malthus Holmes has no idea where the ball is that was a pretty good pass person who said they came out of Blitz put the pressure on him made him throw again stole be for the point anchor Malthus in his career now has picked off Roethlisberger three times in the regular season twice in the playoffs a 72 yard and just like that the Jags lead seven to nothing [Music] Sunday night football being brought to you by Southwest Airlines low fares no hidden fees by Sprint get NFL mobile live only on the Now Network by Nissan inviting you to shift the way you move through the world and by Bud Light the difference is drinkability look at that current speed it up about 30 times Sage everyone that's right [Applause] seven to nothing Jacksonville after the interception returned Bilby to kick off history to get the ball again is bagging for fields this man from the tree and his second back of the night it'd be a little more successful in his first as he escapes a couple of would-be tacklers and picks it up to the 29 yard line and Scobie along with Witherspoon converge on the tackle dear is Mathis in October of all five in their regular season game picking off Wampus burger he does it again in O six and then he did it twice in the playoff game last January that wild one that the Jaguars one and here is the last one for Roisin who was born in Georgia but grew up here in Jacksonville and took a few Bookman witches in Daytona Beach so he's a Florida kid and he does it in front of the home folks tonight you think somewhere Ben Roethlisberger would learn a lesson but stay away from that guy from the 29 yard line on first down that is war going nowhere let's take a look at the Jags defense Derek Harvey Florida rothmeyer Washington State John Henderson Tennessee Paul Spicer Northwest High School planning University Oklahoma Mike Beach at the universal floor Darrell Smith Jordan take Christine Mathis but don't cook in college Gerald sensabaugh Ava's been a high school Brian Williams North Carolina State Dean James Missy [Applause] sensible taking the spots of it to injured secondary guys Nelson and Florence his ward coming across the formation and setting up on the left side on a wing Roethlisberger in phase a little short intended from that space and that's sensible covering on the play it'll be third down and ten for Ben remember he suffered the separated AC joint opening day then he had a sore hand going into the Monday night game he's a guy you know who plays through a lot of pain but John he didn't practice very much this week and the thing that he's gonna have the problem with his velocity you know you can fight through pain laughs but can he get enough velocity on the ball because then you have those shoulder and hand injuries you lose strength three wide against the nickel on third down pan and then steps up into pressure and he lines up it in Santonio Holmes who gets dropped by Pearson three low up at the 45 yard line so a big first down on the third and long Quentin groves came in in that time hit Roethlisberger as he released 16 yard game now you watch the Jaguar defense here and you can see that they're going to bring the Blitz they do a pretty good job of picking it up but then had to take a hit he had to stand in there he's a tough guy and watch how he stands in there Rose that ball does get some velocity on it but to do that he had to take that hit and there number 2 draft choice Quentin grows out of Auburn Olympic Derek Harvey at a Florida looking for his first Sarah hello they across the line of scrimmage we stopped up at the 46 yard line genes games up to make the tackle be second down and nine that's that ball handling where they it's either gonna be a slant or a draw Roethlisberger comes up fakes the slant out to his left and then hands the draw from the Walden war so here I was talking about the tight end now they use a tight end as a fullback have him in the backfield then they could move him up as a tight end which they just did they usually two tight ends or a two back wall second down Ward's lot right there's more than is about a yard short of the first down gets taken down by Mike Peterson the ex colt the middle linebacker setting up a third down and one at the Jacksonville 46 yard line now you have to have it tight in right here make a block to set the edge to get that guy knocked off the line of scrimmage to give you a soft corner now once you get that end man knocked off the line of scrimmage you will have almost automatically a five yard game more with a couple of keys overtime last week who set up the win on Monday night against Warren Warren in court in the backfield as the stroll back here and they're going to give it to him and for a first down to the 42 yard line son I J Davenport has had a lot of success through his career with Pittsburgh and before that Green Bay on third and fourth and short comes in and makes his first carry of the season that emergency kinda came quickly didn't it andrea was saying the deal be an emergency short yardage back here he is on the first one now you know when Hines Ward is out there he's a wide receiver who plays wide receiver like in those tackle or a linebacker there's always going to be physical contact and that's about 15 yards away from the ball sure and the side judge came in he could have thrown a flag but a would have an offsetting ball at the 43 time first time fake for more that buys time for Roethlisberger the state's attacker picks up a first down [Applause] to the 31-yard line breaking away from Gerald sensible and moving the chains with a 40 to go in the period been likes to do that bootleg one way you know you you fake to the back going the right bootleg to the left and then throw back to the right say rough number 22 defense 15-yard penalty first down that's William James and that's the second 15 yard or the other was on Spicer on the first drive let's as you see he'll fake two more right here bootleg out to his left turn his hips and then throw it back to me well Dewar Moore who he had just faked [Applause] and here comes the personal foul James will come in there a little late and a hines ward well James knows that Hines Ward is always looking for him so whenever he can he's going to be war King said lay off from a man madness into Causton 15-ton the 15-yard line sorry Russell so Andrea talked about Russell we started the season on the active list even though he was inactive for the first two games then they put him on the practice squad and now with Parker out the Willie is expected to play after the bye week next week and with Mendenhall gone for the season you see Russell so already three Steelers have carried the ball tonight as you look at Willie Parker that's what Mike Tomlin who's starting about last night you know you just have to plug guys in you said whatever happens with to continue playing and don't want Russell stays in he has to check with walk this burger for the call again as he came up to the line second down and six at the halfway mark of the quarter and they give it to Russell on Russell a bounce off the middle of the line the team hit to the outside is John Henderson clogged it up and that's six seven and 335 pounds of plugging and that's that's a real good six seven 335 pounds of player 2 I mean John Henderson is a heck of a player he hasn't been getting the the pass rush this year I mean he's been playing the run well and they said that they need a bigger pass rush from him this has been bugging to Jack Del Rio the other they have problems with their patchwork problems with their third down defense and problems with their red zone defense they have all three going right now 37 for wide out of the shotgun here roethlisberger time over the middle that's going to be a first down Keith Miller the tight end makes the catch stop by Mike Peterson over the middle of the three yard line first and goal of coming he'll have Ben Roethlisberger being beaten up they have to have good pass protection you know that offensive line knows that they give them perfect protection and Heath Miller just works the middle and knows where the first down marker is but this is what they have to do for Ben tonight I mean they know their quarterbacks beaten up and they can't let him take a lot of hits Jaguars at the second-worst red zone defense in the league this year 12th floor raised into their red but stands to the opponents this one tries to make it ten and there a yard signs Gary Russell pounds the ball to the one-yard line so we have already played over nine minutes in the Jacksonville Jaguars have yet to run an offensive play but they still have the lead seven nothing thanks thanks to Mathis interception return Del Rio's defense tries to stiffen here on second and goal pittsburgh likes to do is they will power everywhere i mean they'll put up you know you know two or three tight ends they'll put any extra tackle like max parts partner started they have over here extra blocking on the forum and the play faith and the passion to the end zone is fought by Miller for the touchdown so mother makes the play to set up the first and goal and then heat Miller then number one Vic in oh five out of Virginia is into the end zone this is a heck of a play on goal line because you know that the defense has to sell out for the run and once they sell out for the run you give them a little play-action pass you bring the linemen the linebackers up to the line of scrimmage and get to tight end in behind them the seven and a half minute with 5:18 the point after so the score is now tied seven-seven and we will finally we think see David George when we come back to Jacksonville on Sunday Night Football [Music] you can experience Sunday Night Football extra by logging onto NBC sports.com or nfl.com live coverage of the game in all one war Sunday Night Football extra check it out [Music] so we've played almost ten minutes 17 plays have been run by Pittsburgh none by Jacksonville the Pittsburgh special teams the source of some consternation last year they're better on coverage this year but still poor on returns as you look kind of coverage here is Reed we'll kick off and it's a low bouncer that's filled it up at these 15 Maurice James we in shares time with Fred sable in the backfield and drew will take the ball back out to the 26 yard line so the jaguars get to run their first offensive play of the night when we come back [Music] with five twelve to go in the quarter of the game five seven seven and a look finally at the jacksonville offense David Gerard in this seventh season but until last year mainly a backup to Byron Leftwich who ironically is now with Pittsburgh second year as a starter had a great year last year 18 touchdowns three interceptions and led them to a come-from-behind win if we expanded the big league in the 26-yard on start by going to the ear as he can and then he shovels the ball off and it's incomplete intended for Freddie Taylor second down here's the Jaguar offense david garage ECU pirates Brad Taylor Florida great Jones he will respond gradually doing the University of Washington Matt Jones Arkansas Marcedes Lewis UCLA Khalid Barnes University Walker Luce one airy Purdue University Dennis Norman press the university milk for brown florist and Tony long live the chief and here's tale don't work on the outside and then cutting the back out of Florida he's taken down at the 27 yard line by the ever-present one troy polamalu another look and he's so good at that you know that's what he's doing he's taken away that cutback you see him come up here as Taylor starts to go away he just waits for him and waits for that cutback and when he does he's right there in the hall and he bangs it won't be the last time you see a play like all night that's a tough play all the flow if you cut back side you got Clarke calamari in the backfield is swinging out in the the past goes to the right and that will be a first down to Mack Jones was finally beginning to emerge college quarterback at Arkansas victim number one in all five and he's been kind of disappointing as a receiver over the past three years but all of a sudden beginning weally to emerge now 15 yard gain here is Matt Jones easy he's a slot receiver here he's just gonna run an out David garage said earlier I remembered to end the preseason we haven't he said he doesn't have a go-to guy and now he says he finally has one and that goat you guys Matt Jones huge target as are most of their wide outs as his 22nd catch of the season in four games plus Freddie Taylor inna one here's the Pittsburgh deed Aaron Smith Northern Colorado Chris toke BYU Travis Kirsty UCLA tomorrow would be Michigan James Farrior Virginia Larry Foote Detroit Percy doughboys James Harrison Kent State I ain't a bit swaggy Brian Clark Louise am pulling mother's Southern California brought me Friday Florida State the Pittsburgh defense last 30 seconds Rises just three touchdowns second and ten from the 42 wide lines go our and that's tipped by the shade Townsend on the pass intended for one of the new Jaguars Jerry order the X Raider who had hamstring surgery in training camp and is just trying to round back into form and made his first appearance as a Jaguar last week John right then you hope that David Gerard was throwing that one away because just as he went to make us break Jerry Porter fell down so that's either going to be an interception or incomplete pass and that choice was the better port around Walker in gas into the slippery third down and ten against the Mickler there come the state is putting the pressure on that the warrant steps away from it and finds the man and that is the aforementioned Michael Walker hurt last year in the second year of the Central Florida third round draft choice and an 18-yard gain from Mike Walker you know we're talking about David garage this was a situation he wanted to stay out of because when you get in third down you know that the Steelers are going to have all their exotic defenses this is when they bring their blitzes like they just did but this is a perfect throw right there you know you look at what's watch a block right here by Maurice jones-drew I mean that's that's a big part of he's a little guy a third down back but he has to be able to make those Tewksbury action going and the crowd wants a flattening we'll get one Mike Taylor covering Jones and Jones head position on him had gotten behind them and it's six six over the six one Ike Taylor Taylor has to reach out and creates the flag David Gerard says he has confidence now in Matt Jones and on that one he showed that in appearance see test number 24 because the pilot curtain hands on the glass place at the 1-yard push down have you seen a tailor is going to be running here with Matt Jones and I watch right there he's going to put his left hand on Jones's left shoulder that had to be what they [Applause] 39 yard penalty Maurice jones-drew and he flashed the burro is laying into the end zone and he does to the Ducks down there is a powerful guy jones-drew lake is only five foot seven and he's there short yardage and goal line runner barely he just he says football is all about leverage and he has great leverage back up tight in and Guillot makes a pretty good lead there but jones-drew does everything else when you're five seven you're a short yardage runner as a double entendre and that is borrowing your way into the end zone right do you think this is Scobie for the extra point so Pittsburgh and Jackson would think we were expecting the defensive struggle tonight not so far 14 7 tomorrow heroes on NBC with all the twists and surprises tomorrow night 9:00 Eastern and Pacific 8:00 central and mountain right here on NBC st. Johns River Jacksonville Florida on this Sunday night temperature in the low 70s the Pittsburgh Steeler is trail 14 to 7 this stogies kickoff Davenport Nigel Davenport from a yard in the 22 yard line company will take over 221 left in the period touchdown [Applause] [Music] is Sunday night Malthus with that touchdown on the first drive it's the second touchdown for him on an interception return this season had one been a fourth stone on the right side of here Willy Cologne number 74 started to back up 12 start offense number 74 five-yard penalty first down first and 15 Mathis now since he entered the league in oh three only Asante Samuel now with Philadelphia has had more picks [Applause] [Music] at the 69 Bacchus girl were looking over the defense on first and 15 four-man rush to the outside he goes this time to Washington and made Washington get out to the 26 yard line he's tackled there by William James they get about ten to be second down and five and now the Steelers look like they're going no-huddle they came out with the package they have three wide receivers in there one back in one tight end we're ducking Ben Roethlisberger last night when they get in no huddle he calls the plays and he said this was going to be and they empty the backfield with a shotgun five receivers in the pattern here there's some movement on the left side this time and another flag so we've already had one false start and now we have another well start offense number 77 Marvell Smith with his lengthy read of Arizona State so each tackle on this series has been guilty and it will be second down and 10 you know one of the things when you when you go no huddle and then you go empty backfield and you put the quarterback in shotgun like the roar that time you also have to go silent Carroll second and ten more is the running back in this set who stays in the Block in the office burgers passes too high intended for Hines Ward a slant toward the middle third down and ten now was one of those things that was good coverage by the Jaguars there was no place to go and this is a part of the defense that Jack Del Rio was worried about he said we haven't been good in this area again the the third down the third along our pass rush content manage our own court and we missed tackle we have to fix and clean up third down and 10 for the 21 out of the gun Gregoire's our nickel defense five defensive backs here play loose four-man rush Roethlisberger guns it over the Midlands gonna get the first down as Ward makes his second catch of the game so Pittsburgh converting again that's four out of five conversions on third down moved the change with a minute to go in the quarter and they did they played nickel five defensive backs but they were kind of kind of loose in here and you see Nate Washington he's just gonna come there and stop and he could have been thrown first in town without a puddle again no-huddle Gotham spark the other night when they and then a sack come to touch down on the next series gave them the lead the outside in Washington gets taken down by the ankles by William James the ball we spotted at the 40-yard London or a half minutes ago in the opening quarter Bruce Arians the offensive coordinator was saying last night they want to do a lot of those types of things you know just quick passes to the wide receivers squeeze screens to the wide receivers and tight ends those kinds of plays in the lieu of runs second down and four we get the play off before the end of the quarter and the pass was taken by Ward's and he squad three warrant is not go too fast in a hundred and fifty-one consecutive games or in other words a little bit more than every game over a nine season period end of the quarter 14 to 7 Jacksonville and Sunday Night Football back after these messages [Music] [Applause] tonight's aerial coverage is being brought to you by Gillette body wash Jacksonville Municipal Stadium Al Michaels John Madden Andrea Kramer our entire NBC Sports crew here for the final Sunday team of week five Jack Del Rio and his Jaguar I started in the season oh and two but then that huge win against Indianapolis that's the kind of win I mean if they get to the playoffs you look back to week three and you go that was gigantic yeah you always think okay the first couple of weeks third week they're you know can't be a must game but close to muskie very maybe that was one for Jacksonville especially against Indianapolis and then followed up with an overtime win the last week and this is my well or breaking free the middle and picking up a first down before he's taken down by Quentin grows at the 41 yard line yeah they were kind of worried about right gardellin art Darnell Stapleton you know who's gonna who's going to play that position and I'll say so far both in pass protection as we just saw there and they on the run block he's doing a good job from the 41 yard line [Applause] Kindle Simmons lost to the season with an Achilles tear the pass is thrown by Roethlisberger into the arms award there's a flag down B find the play or B actually behind Ward down at the 22 yard line he targeted Jaguar defense they say we can't let Ben Roethlisberger get out to the right contact the quarterback was out of the pocket at the time of the contact therefore is legal play results first down so give Hines Ward another catch and he's already caught four balls in the first 16 minutes of the game but if Ben Roethlisberger wants to get out to the right he's so big and so strong and you know so quick he's going to get out I mean you know it's a good in theory let's keep them in the pocket let's force him to go to his left every defense in the NFL wants to do that but they can coming into this game he'd only been for 15 out of the pocket as Moore takes it to the left side and he gets about five but through the years Ben has a tremendous amount of success when he got out of the pocket very high rating and he's a guy who not only loves to get out of the pocket but gets contacted in fact more than any quarterback in the league over the first month of the season he has been either hit or sacked more than a third of the time you know he really believes that he can get away from sacks and he said that last night so I see a guy coming free and he's good I can get away from them second and five and that's a two-yard gaming to set up a third and three is more takes the ball to the 20-yard line Justin's a rant making the stop Greg Williams the defense report and enter the Jaguars you know when you get down close like this and he's going to blitz and he just did blitz on that on that second down play I would anticipate that he would blitz again on this third down play Williams one time head coach at Buffalo last four years under Joe Gibbs the defensive coordinator the Washington Redskins third and three because they do have to get some pressure on Roethlisberger time out to set up with a bunch formation to the left and then we'll take a timeout with 12 49 to the half Jaguars 14 Stewart 7 a couple of moments ago talked about Roethlisberger getting contacted on pass plays and there it is he's been contacted more than any quarterback in the league thirty five point seven percent of the time Gerard would be fourth the guy who has been least contacted through the first four weeks was Jay Cutler just to give you some perspective on and was contacted only about twelve percent of the time so then gets whacked once every three drop back in part of expense fall time he holds the ball and tries to keep the play alive part of it is a attacker a protection then part of it is the offensive line after the timeout that come up in that same formation out of the gun on third down and three and walkest were to go off his back the pass is incomplete beverages good we sent more out of the backfield that's there at Barbie who came in their number one draft choice and the pants down the right side covered by William James intended for mort's fourth down you can just see that you know Ben Roethlisberger is looking out to his right he pumped fakes at first and it looks like he tried to draw get the linebacker man the man on the back and then just throw it up over his shoulder that wasn't a bad clam and he tried to you know pump it to him short and then let him go and throw it to him deep line back and Justin Duran covering its a 38 yard attempt for Jeff Reed and read a pressure kicker won the game the other night in overtime tax on three to make it a four point game 14 to 10 Jacksonville to go coast-to-coast because next Sunday night we'll be in San Diego where the Chargers will host the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football the Pats knocking off San Francisco today they go to three and one and San Diego upset by Miami and Miami is now knocked off New England and San Diego the two combatants in last fuze AFC Championship game in their last two games every Sunday night we talked about this don't we you think you know and you never know and there's another one you didn't see coming nobody knows squat you say next time they may - here's where they still know look and a stolen college page 2:30 he's provide an instant excitement he gets tripped up by the kicker Jeff Reid good Samba coming out tailor tremendous career and against the Steelers in particulars you take a look at that 91.5 rushing yards per game in the ten contests in which he's faced them Jim Brown would be the only guy with a better per game average facing Casillas 18 times in his goal container in the backfield here is the one it's fun he's able to get out of the car here comes her ski from behind and he gets him just as he releases it Travis first we taking the spot of the injured Brett Keisel able to knock him down maybe the nose tackle Chris hope gets good penetration up the middle and that's the thing that will get a pocket passer out of their watch 76 he gets I pushed up there he takes Fred Taylor and knocks him right in the David Gerard bündchen I mean I mean he hits it there and that's that's how you get the pocket broken up both taking the spot of the pro bowler Casey Hampton Aaron Smith is right there on Fred Taylor Aaron Smith is the one healthy lineman in this 3/4 and he's a good guy to have healthy in his tenth year at a northern Colorado and one of the very best in the league right and Chris Hulk is playing well too and and and Travis Percy I mean those guys that have gone in there have played well there's Casey Hampton they'd be starting those tackle but Chris hope he be he went Casey Hampton as if Chris hope still plays a lot he's not in there now the defensive linemen contain the pressure is on that was lying in Clark who came in couldn't get the sack there goes the ward and he'll get taken down just before he gets out of bounds about six yards shy of the first down and the Jaguars will punt for the first time in the game and that was the thing David garage was talking about you know you get third and long you know you're going to get this nickel defense and you know you're going to get exotic whistles and the exotic blitz the safety Ryan Clark coming and that's what broke the pocket up and made Gerard take off no one in the history of the game has invented more exotic blitzes than Dick LeBeau is only in his 50th year in the sport fielded at the nine and Holmes is out-of-bounds up near the 18 yard line yeah and that was the thing David garage was talking about because you know you're going to get that on third third and long that's why first and second down is so important you know you have to gain yard the per second to stay out of those situations because they're so tough in them as you said I think I think Dick LeBeau was you know they had a Hall of Fame for assistant coaches to me this would be the first guy that should be in it I think as a defensive coordinator and he was the hit dose a few years ago the Cincinnati Bengals made his playing career is almost good enough to get him into the hole of any age 62 career interceptions for the 18 but slang homes their big play guy on the outside and Holmes takes it up to the 38 yard line say Antonio average 18 point one yards per reception last season and coming into the game tonight he's averaging 15 point eight you see Mathis is looking into the backfield what he's doing is he's key had been on that three-step brach to try and get a jump on that play Santonio Holmes got the jump on him gain of 19 his second grab of the game I was free by one this is free by one free on the left side one receiver on the right [Applause] being the one the well day up to the 38 yard line it'll be second down and nine and a half minutes to play in the opening half now we're always talking about a three-man line you have to get that nose tackle in a four-man line you better get this guy blocked here John Henderson because if you don't it just forces a play right down the line there is no cutback at all and no soft spots Henderson can be a very dominant defensive lineman second day in line to the outside and right on target to meet Washington through a perfect pass to the outside William James with the coverage on the play and Ben Roethlisberger you know Johnny you look at him and you think about the shoulder and we talked about it on opening night the fact that he had the separated AC joint didn't throw in practice this week and he looks perfect it's amazing I mean I think I think there's no way you can do that I mean you have the injury you're not going to have velocity and you haven't practiced that you didn't have the reps and he comes out here and looks almost perfect in those first half 48 yard line by his receivers spread out empty and then back there Hannah Costa that's the mattress and then wide open his leave Washington for the touchdown free low came over with the coverage from the safety spot that he beat the corner down the sideline on a 48 yard touchdown reception to give Pittsburgh the lead here we talked about empty backfield that means you have three receivers on this side here's Nate Washington here you get a short out he gives a little jab like he's gonna run a hook and then he runs a go he beats William James we talked about Drayton Florence oh they picked up from San Diego normally plays that corner and jeans just bit and gets burned the binder the pattern and was also bite of the pump by Benoit breathe to the point after Mitch Berger to do the holding and the Pittsburgh Steelers are on top 17 to 14 there's also great pass protection [Music] they've Washington [Music] tomorrow Chuck is discovering a lot of perks to being an average guy spy on a few pitfalls that says here a new Chuck tomorrow 8:00 Eastern and Pacific 7:00 central and mountain Jack's to the landing guard by the st. Johns River and about three-quarters of a mile away the old Gator Bowl yep this was the Gator Bowl well then they keep part of of the of the Gator Bowl and then build a new stadium around they did that's exactly right here it is but this used to be known years ago as the Gator Bowl he played the actual Gator Bowl game obviously in Georgia for years and years here in the Jaguars Pittman in the NFL in the mid-nineties Witherspoon we're looking at the 11-yard line as he tumbles down at the 16 and slow and getting up rough Ron went through it with the call wearing a return holding over 66 the return team and I was half the distance to the goal first down and back we go to the touchdown you're going to see Nate Washington is going to do a stop and go and at the same time the Ben Roethlisberger when Washington out there Spock what's that Ben pumps gone so that kind of holds everything and then they're able to get behind William James I mean he went he went for the fake of Nate Washington but he also went to the pump fake of smiling meet the great on the sidelines through the 7 yard line now down for the Jaguars Maurice jones-drew that his college ball at UCLA third-years drafted number two in oh six kind of a surprise to Fred Taylor at the time as it turns out this one two punch John might extend Taylor's career another year or two it is I think there was something of Fred Taylor thought you know this could be a negative thing what are they trying to do run me out of here and then when he got jones-drew it you know that this can extend my career because he can do a lot of other things so there's plenty of work for both running that although they haven't gotten started tonight nor lastly duty and have to go in the half Lord swings it out to the right side and that is jones-drew Paulo Malo is right there along with James Farrior there isn't Troy Polamalu stuff at any time that he gets around the ball that guy with the ball is going to go down and then he's to me he's the best packard football watch the way he tackles he never slows up he runs through everything you know a lot of guys will come up they come under control so they try and you bend their knees and wrap he just runs right through he's like a missile 37 I've started defense I've take him there he is up on the line back in the coverage he goes and right in the neighborhood and they throw it intended for more sadie's louis and that pass is incomplete shows fourth down and seven at troy polamalu was going to be man-to-man right here in Mercedes Lewis you see he starts here he starts on a bump was really a zone he started and bumped with him and then he was going to take away the slander the that's a little behind the what Lewis has already dropped as many passes through Mercer as he's caught Parviz is partying goodbye Santonio Holmes at the 39 down as Holmes brings it back to the 45 to markers [Music] and shaking his head he he looked at that field position and he really liked it and then he saw he was going to lose it illegal block in the back number 22 of the return team send yard penalty first down and that is William Gay backing beneflu about the 37 [Music] these great outside the pocket that's what makes him a special quarter packaging for receivers he is constantly working his opportunity for us to be able to make plays down the field for us like I said we need to give that opportunity we have to make the most of it and tonight Ben Roethlisberger 13 out of 18 2 touchdowns one interception the ball is at the 31 yard line Pittsburgh up 5-3 and they've had the ball for 16 minutes - Jackson goes 6 that touchdown and in the half 236 yards for Pittsburgh 41 - the Jags on the defensive change here Greg Williams have seen enough of James at right corner so what they do is they take Brian Williams from safety back to corner he's played there a lot before in the past and Pearson free low comes in and he will play the safety spot that had been occupied by Williams and they probably saw a muscle William James and felt it but he just wasn't competing second day and six from the 35 more right up the back of Chris Kemoeatu get me out to a guy this you're doing a pretty good job he's remember they had Alan's Faneca the great Goran Faneca opted for the bigger contract with the New York Jets and we talked about the fact you know last week losing another guy on the offensive wine and it's kind of a patchwork thing in that ten to Simmons and that was that was the big question about Pittsburgh going into the season with the offense of wine writer but I think I think tonight they're doing an excellent job against a struggling Jacksonville pantsless here's raucous burgers steppin up Travis phone [Applause] Miller and he takes a couple of Jaguars for a ride but you're gonna get a hold on a wooly cologne the right tackle here to negate the play he did that right in front of the referee holding offense number 74 compete there now and that's where Ben was escaping then started back in the Union went back in the pocket then he started going to the right see now he starts coming out here to the right and willing cologne just tackled his guy that's one way to spring your quarterback back holy Russia no one knows Pass versus those lighter pass rushers they cry and dip that shoulder and get down low well faculty learn just to get both hands on him and push him into the ground and I think that's what Willie claw was trying to do Bob Meyer defensive tackle limped off phone in the game in 96 face his spot here in a third down and 16 and Ben will air it out on third passion is incomplete and getting up and that's Brian Williams again who had moved over to the corner spot and then a flag is thrown at the end we as they started jawing at each other at that time that defensive move worked having Williams covering the receiver who had gotten by James on the prior series right I think Ben Roethlisberger was looking for William James to still be out there and they were going to work that same play Brian Williams would have no part of it after the play was over taunting number 29 defense 15-yard penalty and that says it all on the face and the expression you just saw from Del Rio you make a play you're going to force a punt and then you get a taunting Pole and that will make a coach let the air out of himself I mean it's it's great coverage there it's turned out now just get off the field you don't have to do anything you don't need that you know I know it's an emotional game and everyone's competing but flag on it you've done your job third down off the beat just leave so that verbiage takes into fourth and 16 to a first down with Pittsburgh kills coaches cheap porn but it was pretty expensive for Jackson day they gained four more second and ten and you talk about coaches and you know that that's one of their problems and Jack Del Rio was saying that the other day we haven't been a third down defense we haven't been good on third down we haven't been able to get our defense off the field and you finally get a play and then something like that happens and that defense has been on the field almost the entire half pittsburgh's run 35 plays the Jags have run 13 [Applause] second at 11 spread it out we go right to the left this burger throws in this incomplete that was Santonio Holmes going down the sideline Mathis was in the area second down third down finally on that one maybe they just lost confidence in there and their secondary William James that it was a spread situation and the Jaguars just stayed in regular defense [Applause] so they had a third and 16 in the corn now it's a third at 11:00 no pressure we'll stop them as Malthus comes up to stop more of it now you have another flag on this side of the field at the 33 yard line [Applause] and you save us on this side of the field away fold and play offense number 72 colors define it support down by George Stapleton they'll force the punt [Applause] this is the thing we talked about the Jaguars playing regular defense and not playing a nickel but if you're going to do that and if we're gonna throw short into the end zone and the Jaguars will take it at the 20 Sunday Night Football from Jacksonville Florida brought to you by Lincoln introducing the all-new 2009 Lincoln MKS Lincoln reach higher by subway restaurant subway eat fresh and buy Capital One cart lab at capitalone.com what's new in your wallet Wayne Weaver is the owner of the Jaguars and he brought them into the National Football League they came in along with the Panthers in Carolina in 95 this is Taylor I was down on the Q coach who's Tom Coughlin's and Jack Del Rio and in their second season in the league they got to within a game of the Super Bowl going to the AFC Championship game he's done a good job of hiring head coaches there are a lot of like - aren't they Tom Coughlin and Jack Del Rio and they're they're tough guys disciplinarians have the same types of teams second and four there is history [Applause] slugs it out for to go there by Ryan Park as we took down to under four minutes to go in the opening hand I know it's Jack Del Rio and the Jaguars are thinking now we have to get some running game going and that's that's something if we can get the running game going then we can get some play-action pass and then we can get some balancing and some mixture this is a tough defense you know it's easy to say much cuts run against his steel or defense Porthos that three man land was for mine you're right John the trial length [Applause] which is astonishing when you consider you've got Taylor and jones-drew but they have problems last week as well Woodleigh makes the tackle and the Jags left the pun just just watch the Steelers here I mean it's about their linemen their linebackers and also their safety Chris Polamalu is like a fourth line back or a fifth line back [Applause] [Music] in the floor [Applause] [Music] and since Oni will bring it back up to the 29 yard line [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Bosley's punt that time covering 46 yards - to the hand about that fake punt the Jaguars did last week they put publish him like they were going to punt on fourth down had him play as a as a wing and then just a direct snap na'toth got the the first down but within and scored a touchdown and it was on the opening series of the game Montel Owens made his first carry of the season and it was a back and forth struggle last week for the Jags did prevail against the Texans in overtime Russian is the running back to the outside its around Smith gets kind Williams a nice run for a guy just activated off the practice squad because of the injuries to Parker and Mendenhall Pearson tree low knocked them out of bounds see they had that that bunch over here in the left side this is what I was talking about they can get power on the perimeter you know they put this in needed lockers over on that side and instead of getting you power inside or up the middle you put three blockers on the outside on the perimeter and then you run in behind that fourth down and a 43-yard on forgiving of you then pleading a case with long winter not exactly sure what it is check in with Andrea I'm not good news for defense that sporty exhausted joggers defensive tackle wrought iron is a right knee sprain they have them in the locker room they're retaping in and you know how he is the Iron Man he has played in the third most games in team history the losing of both tackle and end and remember Marcus trad went to Buffalo some iron dangle take his spot there acclaimed at the moment 66 second down in Santa the ball of the 44 yard line the 39-yard line on the crowd getting very frustrated with his Jaguar defense because they're not getting to Ben Roethlisberger they know that you know that's the thing that that they have to get a pass rush and they also have to get some coverage because you know that in the middle you know on third down that's where they're gonna go and it's going to be Heath Miller when they did sit for a short guy and then they put him in behind him two-minute warning Pittsburgh live three at the half feet saw at the halftime show from New York the boys will take a look at all of the action today and one of the highlights of course was that amazing comeback by the Indianapolis Colts in Houston they had a half-time that work one then tend to play in the half two time outs remaining for the Steelers first down 15 yards Heath Miller keeps on trucking and Mike Peterson is there with the coverage you just have the feeling if the jaguars don't blitz and they can just throw the ball to heat miller in the middle all night because the linebackers aren't getting there and covered we need to play in his own and the safeties beat and he's just running in between playing chess he's caught for passing time for 42 yards wards for washing to the outside and chemical Santonio Holmes it'll be second down and ten mike tomlin second year with the Steelers after of course Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher for so many years and then Mike Tomlin who had been the defensive coordinator at Minnesota for only a year before that had gotten his start and cut his eye teeth and pro football only under Tony Dungy going back to Tampa Bay the second row some art the third just the lone second down Tanna for me three by two three the left to the right [Music] five yard line homes pays the price you got Peterson there but waxham Tony McDaniel is also back in coverage and timeout is taken by Pittsburgh their second first and goal the numbers he's never in his career had a more productive first to happen yardage 239 my god didn't practice all week hasn't thrown has a bag told about him for Navajo out of Boston he he has all the velocity he need maybe that's the way to the Future course can go fake inside kid again protection rolling buying power for the back of the endzone juggled incomplete pines Lord couldn't hang on to it and keep his speed in bounds at the same time thinking of ball Pearson kilo with the coverage and again there's no pass rest there so so Ben is able to come here fake look out to his left Punk to his left look to the middle and then run out here to the right before he finally throws it to Hines Ward and that is way way too much time for any quarterback pantsless one sack time for Jacksonville but in for the Hamptons and have six sacks this year that's hit second and goal [Music] with a little bit only to the 4 yard line and now it will be third down and goal and a timeout taken here Pittsburgh doesn't have a timeout what was surprising there is to take the time out of the situation we have a goal to go situation you're not going to get a first down you're not going to run out of time you might as well take all of the time he can off the clock but Roethlisberger was quick on the trigger to call the timeout I better one of those predetermined thing Joe let's run the ball and if we break it for TV fine if we don't let's call a timeout and we get a pass play in two the third down didn't have to do it exactly sometime Burdine available was at the 5-yard line Roethlisberger laughing in another a fade and it was like clones and ward we're each running routes but not in that ape review you wonder why they got away from work in the middle I'm in the middle had been so open that you know you know they could have worked that all night and why you thought they had to go to the outside I'm not exactly sure I saw it happen there with the mess up but that they could have worked I'm in the head they just have everything they want [Music] Jeffrey chips got 23 wash Sixpoint and he does but Jacksonville is going to have a little bit of time because of that forgive I'm alcohol by Pittsburgh [Music] the Jaguars have 45 seconds and all of their timeouts here six point game Pittsburgh up 22:14 Jeff weed [Applause] [Music] short right there that was that was an excellent quiet and Witherspoon downs it in the end zone so Pittsburgh remember they had the ball for almost the first 10 minutes of the game you had Roethlisberger calling an interception which was run back for a touchdown by Mathis then they had a long drive did Pittsburgh to tie the game at 7 and Gerard didn't even get the feeling there were about 5 minutes to play in the opening quarter [Applause] defense no pass rust and the Jaguars the boy [Applause] a six-yard games with all of their timeouts and they spend their first one right here stopping the clock with 39 seconds you also have a penalty so the penalty would supersede the timeout personal foul grasping the facemask offense number 69 [Applause] first down Khalif Barnes the left tackle he's blocking James Harrison right here one of the the most dominant and best pass rushers in the league I mean he has a great bull rush and that's exactly what it was there he just gets his head in there and pushes back cliff Barnes trying to hold on he got straightened up he just grabbed James Harrison's face hands first in 20 the league apologized to the Steelers last year after the wild card when Barnes was holding on a play and they didn't call it on a Gerard run in Pittsburgh and now the Jacksonville Jaguars will just taking me and trot off the field [Applause] a lot of Terrible Towels here tonight I noticed that in the pregame Jaguar fans have a lot of crying towels the way they're playing at this point they're lucky to be down by only six 22:14 Pittsburgh as we get to the half so coming up next the Toyota halftime show on the other side of this break Pittsburgh 20 Jacksonville 14 [Music] back in Jacksonville as you look at Municipal Stadium on the banks of the st. Johns River Michael's with John maddinames Kramer some of the action and this was the the biggest highlight by far for Jacksonville the Roisin Mathis interception and run back for a touchdown apart from that it's been all Pittsburgh there was a Taylor [Applause] interference call that lived in the other Jacksonville touchdown Russell one of the backs for the the Pittsburgh Steelers we've seen some action tonight for carries 220 yards but for the most part it's been Roethlisberger through the year been 239 yards two touchdowns one interception they had the ball did the Steelers for 21 minutes and 15 seconds they've out gained Jacksonville 300 yards 249 I'd been had his way with the Jaguar defense they couldn't do anything about it they they tried blitzing and then that didn't work then they then they backed off they tried to play regular and they couldn't play their zones that didn't work and so they they really haven't found an answer in this first half for the Steelers and I think the Jaguars on the other hand you know they've been able to run the ball so maybe you have to throw the ball first in order to open up the running you know they tried to run it you know in France off and then maybe gets a pen that didn't work maybe go the opposite way throwing having Mabel having been able to defend in the secondary to the 29-yard line that's where the Jaguars will start their first third quarter drive as we check in with Andrea Kramer Andrea Jack Del Rio was very I asked him what do you have to do to get your defense off the field he said or DRD line is getting pressure we have to have better coverage now after three personal thousand one Tony penalty he told the team just don't do it as for cornerback will James benched in the first half he said be a pro we're going to have to cool down but I'm going to need you in the second half the sidelines that's great protection that the secondary goodness here canister shaking underneath roll to Fred Taylor before he gets tackled at the 34 yard line now last week against Houston garage did a lot of 3-step drop and a lot of slams and and it was pretty successful is a pretty good passing game and and they haven't done much of that yet in this game and I wouldn't be surprised if that would be part of their plan in the second half because they have big receivers after you know Reggie Williams and Matt Jones are big guys Williams has not kata Pascal our Jones below visually changing his name Williams as the intended receiver it'll be third down and four Reggie Williams started on the right and started on a slant and he just kept them coming on across and David grunt was just waiting for a hole you see here he comes it across he's waiting for that for that second line to get by that linebacker to get between the two line that who are in the gun went by goons dude has to make a play that play is the pass is caught by Mike Walker his second grab of the night he's out of bounds moving the chains those spot the ball right on the 50 now that was the thing that they were concerned about the the Jaguars about this third down and these exotic blitzing tight defenses but really in the first half they handled that part of it pretty well it's the other part that they haven't been able to do offensive is but the third down third along the the witches they've done a good job picking them up good job then they get the one in green [Applause] keeps on pumping those legs before the whistle blows and mike tomlin looking around saying didn't you didn't you stop the play now that's Fred Taylor Fred Taylor is one of those guys that that doesn't quit I mean he's always gonna pound for those extra yards always keep the feet going look he's going in backwards there then he gets spun around gets turned again but he never stops moving eleventh year Floridian raised here let's go into games go spend his entire career with the Jazz in 98 second down and six to the ball of the 1415 Jones jones-drew started out when he was in Pop Warner and when Foley was too small and as grandfather you said are you not too small and someone said you look like Superman so he started he started since Pop Warner all the way through high school and college into the pros he wears a Superman shirt underneath his Jersey and he wears 32 because 32 teams passed on him in the first round in fact in the second round 27 more family is a sixtieth pick [Applause] this time in the past he's drawn right into the hands and through the hands of Matt Jones incomplete second down and ten John wouldn't light him here it is there's the Superman shirt he's proud of that thing - is he yeah and and that's just say one he's had since he's been in the NFL you know what I love when he when he received that pass - crowd you look as they do guys they knew or whatever to get the job is to who you watch out for [Applause] is incomplete Mercedes Lewis put in one hand is Lamar Woodley put the pressure on Gerard that time you got pressure right up the middle and it's going to force them out you see them in shotgun here comes a pressure right there from Woodley as you say and that gets him out to the right he keeps the play alive makes a pretty good throw now this is where they get that nickel defense and get to defense four linebackers five defensive backs this is the one that they dürdane town she's gonna be completely short of the and then with a second effort that's my CDs Lewis who still can't get to the line to gain he takes it to the 27 yard line but there's a flag down now here back at the 40 yard line we're on winter holding offense number 79 10-yard penalty repeat they're down right tackle Tony Packo's I was just going to say this is Jack Del Rio and one of the things that he's known for is going for it on fourth down and had that been a completion not a penalty and been a fourth down I'm sure he would have gone for it see past shows there is a right tackle what's that left arm he's arguing that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's a Camaro scared work the inside from his outside linebacker spot and sacrament you're right he comes from the outside linebacker spot and he's going to come right up the middle again two linemen extra linebackers and you see Woodley just come right up the middle and that's when you get all those blitzes that's when you get all those different alignments that's when you get all those [Applause] this time [Applause] more makes the fair catch at the 21-yard line early in the third Steelers up by six in Jacksonville [Applause] then Roethlisberger tonight making the 60th start of his career how does he fare with some of these guys most wins by a quarterback in his first 60 starts Brady McMahon the 46 Marino and repin 42 and been with 42 coming into tonight's game right now with the ball and a six-point lead leverage his bow welding more for no game it'll be second down a change here we were wondering before the game as Ben Roethlisberger was going to make all the throws at the angels to watch [Applause] and then of course the pump and the a play in the middle a place to the outside or a deep pass Ben Roethlisberger and the first half may tomorrow with no filling in practice asleep secondary that is incomplete was contacted as the ball hit there and it will be third down and nine for the Steelers the women when we talked to Benton last night he thought that no huddle in the spread was going to be a big part of their offense tonight and I think that he's doing so well the other way [Applause] and that's been working so well there's no reason to go no hunter go to mine then snapshot he may have been across the pinchy before the other across the line regardless it's not enough for a first down he's babby he knows that when he extends a play you know he's he's moving to let the receivers get open and obviously he wants him to get open down the faster to first down [Applause] he's healed at the 24 Witherspoon said don't touch it he feels at the 24 in Davenport fix the tackle there six [Music] when top government offered it to very different wives my own worst enemy as you go it's ours Christian Slater and a premieres next Monday right here on NBC downtown Jacksonville Florida back to Municipal Stadium that was the Venus drive their second okay and the pass is caught for a gain of 13 by Mike Walker take them down by FARC and McFadden it's a first down let's take a look at the the pressure put on by the outside backers and they've been putting it on all night I think that you know James Harrison then the left is one of the top pass rushers right now in pro football talking to Mike Tomlin about him last night he says he's just longest player he's ever had like the modern Woodley is seeing that seeing how Harrison plays and he's becoming a lot a portable type of linebacker his Fred Taylor for the 40-yard line you know when you when you can let a guy like Joey Porter go one of the reasons you can do it is because you know you got somebody like a Harrison waiting in the wings yeah and that's what the Steelers do so well is why while the have a player plane I have another one behind him that they're developing and having him ready to go [Applause] watching the Lord steps away that shoulder turn and slide well should be a first down as a spot sattvam actually just short of the line of the 49 yard line [Applause] so when he begins the slide he didn't have the first pound and that's gonna make a third down and a short one then this is where David Gerard is so tough on defenses you know that he can do this he can dodge and he can keep looking upfield and if there's nothing there he can run for almost the first down I think the longer the game goes the more he apt he is to do this [Applause] yards very short stop them and when you see that here in the you know the Troy Polamalu was right in the middle of the action yeah here's that fourth down situation that we talked about yeah I mean this is this is Jack Del Rio and he's done it he's done it over a hundred times since he's been the head coach of the Jaguar 107 times since he took over he's in his sixth season not only the most position took over but the highest rate before the century in the NFL so this is no surprise to anybody in the stadium Jones who is the chair back there is the monkey man in a flower get that goes down and staying and Jones therefore by Greg Jones doesn't carry the ball but he will receive it and he'll receive it at very opportune times like this one and he will block I mean that's what Greg Jones is he said he's a tough guy he's a real good blocker and when you need a big play and this is a big one for the Jaguars and for Jack Del Rio you throw it to Greg Jones [Applause] with play-action pass they got the Steeler defense to to bite to come up and grape Jones with a [Music] in the seventh [Music] nice [Music] [Applause] Bitto boy what would have been a Lamar Woodley sacked and you just look at how strong that David Gerard is when we see it when he runs with it the watch right here I mean having someone hanging on him and being able to still look downfield throw the ball and complete the pass I saw a shot at him before before the game the biggest strongest was powerful-looking remember she found a quarterback ever if you had a cap on touch second and ten [Applause] jones-drew there they are that's what I'm talking about Ivan went as a quarterback let me put all this quarterbacks in the NFL in a contest that okay we're gonna get who has the biggest cash he's the guy I'd take David Gerard and that's why he's so tough to get to the ground and that's why he's so tough to get on those third down runs and we have an injury timeout here with 447 to go in the third [Music] [Applause] [Music] Maurice jones-drew had to be assisted off the field he's back on the bench he got enveloped by about 900 pounds of Steelers hello intended for Williams the cupboards on the play by Brian McFadden and now oldies fourth down and seven good coverage by McFadden but that was a pattern that that I thought that they would run they had great success with this last week just coming off throwing the slant Gerard putting it on him right there and so they went forward on fourth and one and right now then at least lineup to go forward on four thousand seven and I think they'll go for Jack Del Rio says he has a plan for it remember asking them a couple times what is it [Music] and that one is deflected so that time it doesn't work out and it gives the Steelers the ball at their own 34 yard line [Music] mike tomlin spending some time with his defense telling us yesterday said I have to make time for personal visits as a head coach you know you're consumed by so many things it's not like being on one side of the wall the 34 yard line for no gain so yes to work out it schedule and then spend some time with with each of the units when he can write because you're always going to have part of your team on the field so you you can't just ignore that but you also have to have some time to visit with your offense and your defense when they're on the sidelines and that's what he said you yell and scream a lot that helps oh - you don't have to turn your head and yell backwards event 2nd in town from the 34-yard those are so Russell on a very link developing play short game here's Andrea well 900 distillers that you said fella Maurice jones-drew gave him a right ankle sprain now who took the shoe off he was walking around with it sat back in the bench and now they are taping that ankle barrier and firstiy all on top of him boy at 3:30 13:12 and after a loss of coolness when stepping away from the Pricer to him that's Reggie Hayward and who blows the rookie the number two draft choice out of Auburn who converge to the sack you know now he's part of their plan on defense has been usually wants to escape to his right make him escape his left because he has to come up before he can throw it and hold it a little longer then you have an opportunity to converge on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and the defenseless each job now we'll take a look at the Jax offense again with 218 to go in the third looks for advice six Sunday night football being brought to you by Toyota and the line of scrimmage and by Wendy's it's way better than fast food it's Wendy's doesn't it feel like Pittsburgh's ahead like 42-14 well one reason is they've gained 300 yards to a hundred 19 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Mike Walker Walker tonight has caught all four times for 57 yards I think this is a pretty good plan now that Jacksonville has is is instead of running on first down running on second down you know getting the third one you're throwing some on first down I think there's probably a lot more throws there closer on first down [Applause] we picked up two that that's enough for a first down before he's tackled by the nose tackle Chris oh yeah and that way this wouldn't have been a bad a bad down to throw on to you know to go play-action pass but watching Chris Mulkey I mean this this is what a nose tackle is supposed to do and he just gets into his guy their zone blocking he gets into the guard knocks him back gets off him get some penetration makes a dime that's a perfect nose tackle play against a zone [Applause] some damping forces there Koval knows contenders in the second straight 35 yard line and welcome to the 34-yard line before Mike Taylor is able to run him down the Walker's become his favorite carcass and ankle ours has sent in five times for 89 yards that's good for 32 you see Mike Walker here again a good passing now first down against the Steelers is a good passing down because they sell out they really quite puff on the rock because you can get his peak digs our insider in by their linebackers better uptight to start [Music] [Applause] [Music] Orpheus Roy makes the hit Braun winter what show you holding offense number 69 señor penalty the people's down these borns feelers say now you call the holding down him that last January huh right and that was on the backside too you know they're trying to friend to get some of that cutback running the play wasn't the barns aside the play was to the right and pay were just cut it back to the left Barnes was just trying to collapse that backside there goes Smith marvelous minute going back on the court they wind the clock that's the end of the quarter we played three in Jacksonville the Pittsburgh Steelers leaving the Jacksonville Jaguars 20 to 14 NBC's Sunday night football contains a from your local NBC station [Applause] [Music] and have come together once again to format the bush-clinton recovery fund you can help those affected by the Hurricanes along the Gulf Coast by going to that site listed right there but splinting close to fund orange fourth quarter begins al [Applause] [Music] [Applause] really [Applause] Ferrier yes as he reaches the 39 yard line that'll be a gain of four second down and 16 his ankle now heavily tape because this is where they need jones-drew you know when they get in this area they like to throw at him and ice I saw him go in on first down and I thought it would probably be a pass to Jones grew and it was it was a screen pass and now I think somewhere on this Drive I could see them [Music] they hear any outside pink when you think that second down and 16 with a Jaguar the passes inconvenience eight back in a flag thrown yeah that's that shot on a defenseless receiver Matt Jones wasn't even looking he was just running down the field he didn't see that thing coming at all Tomlin saying the ball was tipped I don't think it makes any difference unnecessary roughness defense number 25 [Applause] yeah and in a tip ball wouldn't take unnecessary roughness off and if you hit a guy who's just running down the field like this watches he's not even looking and you come up and hit him home at the helmet you not only get you know they're not only going to get a penalty there so I guarantee you're gonna be fined on Friday after they tipped by Townsend a tip ball does not give a safety a free headshot that was a second and 16 the turns into a first time at the 24-yard line [Applause] [Music] for the Jaguar tight end unbelievable the Jaguars tip it feels good I was at an extra point now and they're hit 2120 this is amazing the Steelers hang in there his Mercedes Lewis he's too tight in he just comes and runs at peepin hit him behind the linebackers in front of the safety good throw by David Gerard Mercedes Lewis is that a when you're dropping the ball lately but he had his eyes on hands and [Applause] scaling to the point after their third lead of the game is in 14-7 another of 21 to 20 55 ticks [Music] Sunday Night Football brought to you by frost brewed Coors Light on the mountains turn blue your beer is as bold as the Rockies by Campbell's Chunky official soup and silly sponsor of the NFL by the entirely new Audi a4 progress is beautiful and by McDonald's that is Forks fish camp seafood restaurant John and you just saw then preparing fried alligator what's that thing I just saw there was that that climber at [Applause] about six Johnny walkers and that's for another day we're into return holding number 71 return to sending our penalty first down let's go back to the touchdown assume Mercedes Lewis is number 89 there he's a right tight end he just goes up and it's his own defense he gets behind the linebackers who runs it in right in front of the safety but it was set up by this point when there's is no no excuse for that I mean the guy's not looking he's defenseless and given him a shot like that was was a bad way for the Pittsburgh Steelers but it was a big game gray essex comes in to spell marvel Smith left tackle Stephens will operate I appoint early fourth quarter then Cassidy's way it's full spicer number 95 who drives into the curve now that Jaguar defense is really getting that from you see Spicer is going to come from this backside here he just keep working working working knowing that knowing that been close to keep the play [Applause] sanic second in eighteen three sacks tied for the Jaguars who came in with five in four games to the outside to get at the home see the 21 yard line we third down let's go to Andrea betray us it's whom is subbing for left tackle Marvell Smith he's in the locker room with France they're calling his return questionable and guys it is very muggy down here even some of the players who are not good at getting any action really sweating the temperature was only 73 at the start of the game with a pinga breeze [Applause] were eating the Jaguars every way and then they're down by a point they go 5 wide on 3rd down and 7 Dallas Baker's even in the it's Johnson and then throws it incomplete flag is wrong on the near side of the field of the 29 yard line the big thing now the Jaguars have better coverage and and Roethlisberger's has to hold the ball a little longer and that's given the rushers more time to get there [Applause] holding defense number 43 five-yard penalty Gerald sensible off holding so that was a third and seven that gets turned into a stealer first out of the 26 yard line you see jail censored was number 43 here he's covering right here on this deep the inside most receiver and he holds him right there Virginia he can hit him in the first five yard [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] nice name it's spun down a bit about the 39-yard line and that'll be a first down wenton groves makes the tackle and Mike Tomlin has to be thinking right now they have to get back into that rhythm that they had in the second quarter and that was you know men throwing the Hines Ward then throwing that Heath Miller mixing in a run just like that get that me they kind of got away from it in the third quarter that's a pretty good halftime adjustment that's Illustrated right there where's Canton at the 39 yard line [Music] second down and ten [Music] [Applause] you know you'd think that they would get worn down a little in the pass rush which kind of slowed up but it looks like the Jaguar is it's just the opposite that long time get more heated as much better pressure in the in the second half secondary Channel a 22 the light going takes you to the 41 yard line third and long third and eight for Tomlin Steen [Applause] this is where ben roethlisberger is good job and this is where he likes to get back to the shotgun [Applause] get a free read and then find where so and his side that he wants to though he has free receivers on this side one on the other side he's getting his another room yes here then stepping off the 44-yard passing of Jaguars first guy that hit him was Reggie Hayward and that forces Pittsburg to punt this is where this Jaguar pass rest matters is is they're getting three or four guys [Music] [Applause] 13:15 just like that for games they got the interns everywhere but the 14 yard line by Brian Witherspoon and the Jaguars take over at that spot ten and a half minutes to play in the fourth quarter in Jacksonville the by appointment [Music] 21 to 20 the Jacksonville Jaguars leading the Pittsburgh Steelers 10 and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter David Gerard leads his team up to the 14 yard line [Applause] for you exact no real made a major major decision I mean it's a it's a job costing decision if it doesn't work last year in the training camp he made Gerard his starter there is Byron Leftwich who had been the starter here for years and not only did Gerard get the job left which left went to Atlanta was out of football after last season Pittsburgh picks him up now there he is on the right on top backing up Ben Roethlisberger but the a lot of guys changed [Music] it's Stockton Mogens honestly say when a coach goes to his owner and he went straight to Wayne Weaver and he said I want to make this move I have to have your blessing and Weaver gave it to him if it works fantastic he got his extension if it doesn't work you're probably looking for a job yeah he would have been I mean that was the the situation he said I'm gonna go with Nathan you are then he had no backup plan I was either gonna be glad or he was gonna fail and he pushed all his chips in put them all in David Gerard and you said the guy who goes to for thousands left as he does does go Jane that's complete but ladies first down gents to flag down b-because that was James Harrison who came in and may have gotten there late he's blonde winter threw the flag football roughing the passer fifteen yard penalty the first time was hey that's been the story of the game tonight those personal fouls yeah I may have been after third down plays do you know where you would be getting off the field and you see James Harrison that was pretty quotable that was very close he's coming and he hits garage just as a ball gets out of it that's about as close as you can get [Applause] [Music] I agree because I mean they let that go 80% of the time because it wasn't to the knees and wasn't to the head so it wasn't [Applause] I'm the crushing they're going to get him Lamar Woodley will get the sack but it was set up on the assist from Kris over who got there first and slowed them up and got him off balance it's Wendling back first hook he's one of those guys that has a motor that goes 110 miles an hour you see him here in the middle is a nose tackle he starts to get penetration there he gets just enough with garage legs to spin them around so that would we can get their second total against the sack hope doesn't even get an assist I mean like in hockey that would be like the perfect pass and the guy gets a a cheap gold [Applause] grunts couple second came too that's taken down as they stop the swing as Lawrence Timmons number Lane before who comes in and it will be third down and 20 now I see they don't have the down and distance on their side when they when they had that on their side in pretty good field position I like the way that Jaguars plan was going as throwing more on first half and suggested to in distance they can't do 30:20 passport big beam but not enough Walker makes the catch they gave enough pushing underneath Clark and McFadden make the tackle and now it's gonna be fourth down we still a good play by by Gerard there because they they did pick up about 15 yards of field position come up two yards shy of the first down mo LD more goes back to receive this tick [Applause] the same dicks tyroon 6:30 to go and now you got a little fracas breaking out of the 14 yard line but no flags six and a half to go in a one-point game with the Jaguars leading the Steelers in Jacksonville jay leno this week he's got Jenna Fischer from the office George Butler Mark Wahlberg leader Dana Carney Terry Bradshaw will be along with Jaden it's a nitro Carrie Bradshaw the Pittsburgh Steelers cuz they took over the 20 yard line by a point sit still be free to go in the fourth Roethlisberger out of the gun the heat is on these steps away close thought turns into a game Hines Ward John Henderson had nine tenths of a sack and Roethlisberger so strong in sixty five to forty one able to escape but watch what he does he kind of bends over there like he's going down and then he spins right out of it but the thing I like about Ben Roethlisberger as he spins out of it he puts his head back up and he's looking upfield all the never whoops down he found ward was gift packs of the night [Music] how big is this game right now early in the season the AFC South of all things who woulda guessed the undefeated Tennessee Titans are on to five and OH Jacksonville two and two coming in India escaping today were their lives to go to two and two and the Texans are all in for so Jacksonville trying to keep pace now with Tennessee something you never thought would be the situation second down and six five and watch this time and Daryl Smith the line back there setting up third and fourth on the pittsburgh side the Steelers leave their division they're throwing in one Baltimore losing today and losing of course to Pittsburgh on Monday to it to Cleveland off today one and three Bengals lose today to Dallas since he is on five [Applause] they do the toughest schedule according to last year's records in fact it's the toughest schedule in about a quarter century turn three since the 76 science Pittsburgh willeth toughest schedule in the NFL Washington earlier scored a touchdown Brian Williams and a flag comes down at the end of the play Williams who had moved from safety back to corner to supplant James is in on the tackle and with emphasis this call is being made right he's mad whatever-whatever call he made also made him mad that was the side judge unsportsmanlike conduct offense number 85 [Applause] [Music] first down to town another bonehead plays we've had them on both sides multiple unite he again third down who gets the first down I just give the ball to the official they I mean he has to show it and I don't know I don't know who he's showing it well the bench maybe could have been showing it to Williams there you know the NFL doesn't allow that stuff anymore and the only players that I used to you have to stop doing it back to the 40 now first containing [Applause] stays in bounds inside the 30 and a 27-yard gained with a 33 yard line before he's run down by Pearson free low Lily Parker's solution if Trey Essex right here the left tackle doesn't does a good job here in the draw just bringing his guy up getting him hooked a little making him think it's past and the welding more just runs right around we're gonna get him up there maybe holding a little but give him that edge give him that soft corner and that's message playing in place of wardo Smith still commit to the 31-yard three and a half ago looking down the line there each team with all of its time on us the film in the morning but you could get into a situation or long enough they have one of the great pressure fingers in recent years than Jeffrey well that's what they want to do I think T the Steelers want to slow this feeling down [Applause] first get into field goal range milk the clock and growing second the name ten people [Applause] on the play by Brian Williams Brian Williams has done a good job I mean that was a heck of an adjustment when they took Brian Williams and took him from safety put him out there corner for William James this secondary has done a heck of a lot better job huh bro [Applause] you know Hines Ward heaps Miller yeah that's kind of what the heck going in the sec Porter I think they have to get back to that right now if they don't gain a you are on this plane we would be looking at a 49-yard attempt third Nate here comes the Blitz Roethlisberger shirt gets it away [Applause] Lord will make that a person 10 invent is rolling over in agony so Roethlisberger able to escape it's an 18-yard II and form of the few times tonight it's a jail break blitz by Jacksonville then they've come in Ben Roethlisberger again is a master at this stepping up stepping up running through something being so strong he doesn't always have to have his feet set properly and just make a throw like this to a receiver like kind boy that's Pittsburgh Steeler football 300 yard night for him and they're going to let the clock tick all the way down Ben needs are a break here so they're going to let the clock tick all the way down the 207 if nothing else remember if he takes himself out of the game he has to come out for at least one plate he didn't want to do that 207 to play a lot of stuff going on with with Roethlisberger when he was getting up he put no pressure on the right arm or right shoulders he got swung to the turf we list and then let all the time though before they took a timeout with 207 just to buy him some time here I'm starting to roll to the right to give up couldn't do it had to go back to the roll to his left 207 and first down the clock is stopped at the two-minute [Music] well within field goal range and that takes us unless Jacksonville took a timeout which they could have done before the two-minute warning about Jacksonville and they did their first this would be a 30-second timeout please reset the game clock the 202 right that's the best the important thing right there because either way at least it buys them a couple of extra seconds they ain't gonna get the clock stopped at the two-minute warning clearly Roethlisberger favoring his right arm and or a shoulder as he goes over things with Bruce Arians but right now timeout taken by Jacksonville they have two left it'll stop at the two-minute warning then they can take another one and at worst pitch for it looking for a read field goal right and you know with with bench shoulder with this situation with the [Applause] this has to be a running club and five is the tenth play of the drive Russell is the back Lord is emotional the fake Roethlisberger's going to kill and he frozen up on the back of the end zone you had homes and Washington volt they're odd pool that takes us to the two-minute warning with officially 159 and a third and five coming up a one-point game in Jacksonville and back we come now to Jacksonville the Jaguars have two timeouts Roethlisberger the chips outfield that love to get into the endzone to put Jacksonville in a position where they couldn't win the game with a field goal because they have a great one-two third and five from the eighth the welding more is the back and he goes in motion is the empty the backfield [Applause] and Tomlin says go for - it's a five-point game right now at 26 to 21 on third down the feed to the corner of the endzone - Hines Ward who makes his seventh catch of the night and I'm sure when they need a big play you know they're going to go - Hines Ward that's the second big play he made on this Drive you think that you have him down there you double Hines Ward everyone eight the steamers Hines Ward is such a great player you know he does all those things to help you win games but he's also a very good block thing we do now we're inside two minutes so the replay booth has stopped the game to look at it they must have thought that perhaps he was juggling it and didn't have possession he did juggle it with one foot down but I think he still got both feet in after he regained possession doesn't have it doesn't have it has it hmm I don't know that could be yeah it was like you said after he hasn't hazzard didn't they're both feet in yet well the left foot he dragged the right here it is again right foot down left foot down doesn't have it right foot down left foot in I think it stands yeah it's a definition of when he has it does he have it yet no does he have it now yes right left and then the right foot is dragging there anyway yeah yeah right but they look at that shot and they would see that yeah but he does have it and did have both feet in right here's winter after you the field stay a singer had possession of all two feet inbounds visit touchdown Roethlisberger with a 309 yard passing light first time he's been over 300 since November of of oh six let a clutch player both Ben Roethlisberger and Hines Ward you just had to feeling that they had to get back to Heath Miller and Hines Ward and you know in this fourth quarter take kid and that quarter might have goodbye fingers on and then the play clock was down to zero he says wait a second away again okay but Roethlisberger's contending when he came up to the line the after the review when the signal play is ready to resume the clock should have gone to 25 and Ben and Tomlin both feel hold on a second I got up there and it's down almost to zero Blakelock lower left there it is it's already done aid so they must have thought they had more time when they came to the lawn trying to signal for time and couldn't get it back to the 7 yard line in this situation this is not that important Jacksonville still is going to need to cut [Applause] [Music] and they don't convert so it's a five-point game and they still have to get a touchdown and they have two timeouts remaining you don't forget Robert Downey jr. if they ever read new Iron Man I'm putting Roethlisberger in the sequel I think he's been amazing you know we we talked about his not practicing all week and and that shoulder I mean you can just see him you wonder how he can even hold his right arm up and he comes out in plays like this it's amazing and you know I guess there were some people who think oh we all read Ramat eyes is it no well you see the way he gets in he gets smacked around he we talked about it tonight he gets hit more than any quarterback in the league he's able to escape he's able to do what he does the separated AC joint his hand was so swollen last week he couldn't shake hands with people didn't throw a fancy practice all week as a 300-yard night I know drama he's no drama he's a tough guy and and you know and then you know Mike Tomlin and his staff to have having confidence in that I mean as a as a coach that would be difficult for me to have a guy that I know was injured like that didn't practice didn't throw the ball all week and then count on him to come in here and win a game for you now you've got normally Reid would kick off a Mitch Berger is going to kick off for Pittsburgh there is Reid and burger burgers kicked off over 500 times and we were being told that weed was [Applause] [Music] wants him to kick off in the second round [Applause] and by us going over the back [Applause] David Gerard in the past couple of weeks at Indianapolis in the second half with Scobie kicking a 51-yard field goal and last week of course leading them into overtime and in a position where Scobie could make the kickin overtime they'll have to do it again [Music] no he can do it with his [Music] left in the fuel rod out of the six mil up on the line for Pittsburgh they rushed five incomplete intended for Mike Walker he's bought six balls tonight we're down to 143 that Jags with two timeouts the Steelers are playing their nickel defense which means that they have two defensive linemen in there four linebackers five defensive backs because in these situations there lie because he cuts a wine second town that's where they're given all of those that they want Lamar Woodley makes the tackle yeah they tried to sneak jones-drew out they started him over here in the right and then he ran between Garrard and the line of scrimmage out there to the left saving their timeouts tore down 26 yard line masses drop Walker got his hands on it and couldn't hold on so it's going to be fourth down and nine with 115 to go and if it were shorter I mean this is fourth and nine and I think this is a situation where Gerard has to throw the ball but if it were like fourth and two or three I would expect anticipate they not in this situation too much necessary up to the 36 yard line to keep the mail and the pass is caught the first path is Jones Townsend and his arms around him and Matt Jones is able to lean forward and get the first down we took that under a minute at great fast protection great for bike David Gerard [Applause] Aaron Smith got a hand on and Jacksonville will have to spend it's the second time out with 47 seconds and a second and eight upcoming Jack Del Rio shaking his head there that's one time he didn't want garage to run I mean there's going to be plenty of times in this season that he's going to need or want David Gerard to have to run but on first down Terry thinks that he wished that he would have stayed in there hung in there maybe thrown the ball he had a short guy right there to the right he did have someone to throw to he he didn't really have to take off on that horses them too take the time out of there down the one second down Steele is gonna cordially soft here with 47 seconds scarrans play this defense with only two defensive linemen they have a lot of quick tacos Safiye in those James Harrison who came in [Applause] to teach the book are you gonna say that he was down there's no fumble Jacksonville is going to take its final timeout with 36 seconds so Gerard gets sack loses the ball comes up with it at the 33 yard line Harrison the guy who came in and made the play Harrison again has great moves you know you you're waiting for that bull rush that's what the offensive lineman he's waiting here he knows that Harrison bull rushes he's waiting he's waiting for the bull rush and Harrison just takes the inside on it you know I don't think he was ever down I mean clearly he's not that that should be a fumble and then who comes up with the ball is the question cause a Jaguar lucila Neary now at the 33 third down 14 [Applause] incomplete intended for Jones and they're down a fourth down with 30 seconds and no timeouts but badly with the coverage can I think wind me when the Steelers play these deep zones that you can hit something in the middle you know they're going to go and try and you'll force you to the inside so that you can't [Music] we have to take that we have to take this way let's forget to the 47 yard line and the line came forward and lost the ball and Aaron Smith deflected it so garner with the arm coming forward Aaron Smith was able to deflect it they can wave the Terrible Towels in Jacksonville and enjoy their trip back home because the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to get out of here with a victory one thing as they said they only have two defensive linemen in there but Harrison is coming from that back side and you can just see Aaron Smith getting the pressure up the middle a Darrin Smith just getting in that Lane taking the lane away from him getting his left hand up knocking the ball down and exciting the heck out of my top one kneel down away from a win so Jacksonville tonight no rushing game [Applause] Roethlisberger 309 yards and while nobody was looking will be more game landing than yours on the ground tonight but you just knew it's the Pittsburgh Steelers and they're not going to go in to a football game and not run the ball they'd watch new career highs and catches and yards big early touchdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers go to 4 & 1 the Jaguars drop to two and three Tennessee leading the Jaguars now by three and they've already beaten the ones in the AFC South as the Pittsburgh Steelers win it by a score of 26 to 21 aerial coverage tonight was brought to you by Gillette body wash coming up next will be the Wendy's postgame report horse trailer player of the game Andrea will interview one of the game stars Bob and Chris from New York with a fast court as we look ahead to week six that's coming right up [Music] to the ladies postgame report here now Al Michaels three of good games a night in Jackson those Steelers win it by a score of 26 to 21 after the Jackson had taken to 2120 leave banner Roethlisberger fighting from this year the Great Escape here huge play finds Hines Ward once again another escape right here a huge conversion Hines Ward back he goes fade Hines Ward touchdown huge night for walk this burger number line yards they're all two bears from last week with a goal line stand and there's been by himself he had a half a trailer in a week too so one and a half trailers this season for Ben Roethlisberger OU's down on the field with Andrea then your first 300-yard passing games since November of 2006 but how did you manage to do it with the shoulders especially we saw you go down with it just wincing and pain on that third down play well you know what it's a there's a lot of guys I'm not the only one that's hurt out here there's a lot of guys that and we knew it coming in it was gonna be a heavyweight fighting and it was that and there's a lot of banged up guys go check on a lot of people so I'm not the only one so I can't say anything about mine no it's certainly Alan John just can't stop talking about you know how strong you've been to persevere with this kind of a game you know especially having a running back by committee that you that you have out there how did you manage three touchdowns well I'd say what we are earlier we went to the know model then ohana was good for us got to give our guys a lot of credit because we did a no huddle without using any cadence so that's really a big credit to the line the receivers tight ends running backs and you know I'm really just proud of the way the guys played all night tonight how did you manage to rebound from the Mathis 72 yard interception return for the touchdown I tell you back I'll tell you bet that's a it's an unfortunate thing you know something something like that happens when the guy slips and it just it happens and you know our defense did a good job of standing up and I think I didn't feel like we got stopped at all that first half so good rebound by everybody how great is your bye week coming now let's say well we got a lot of guys beat up myself included it's gonna feel real good to get a little time off congratulations first time to be fed the Jaguars in four tries thanks very much thanks Andrew yeah great time for a bye week meanwhile Jacksonville has to go to Denver next week that's a tough one Bob and Chris in New York fast-forward to week six coming up after this [Music] now that the evenings business has been concluded in Jacksonville time on the Wendy's postgame report to fast forward to a couple of next week's matchups Cris Collinsworth we'll start with Baltimore at Indianapolis both are two and two yeah and Indianapolis pulled one out today it didn't look good down 27 to 10 but it was Peyton Manning as he often does bringing them back thanks to a couple of turnovers by sage Rhodes and fells and but this is a team that easily could be Owen for as we talked about and on the other side of Baltimore Ravens seem that could very easily be undefeated because of the close games that they've been in and I think for Baltimore this is a great matchup they run the football and Indianapolis not so good at stopping the run and the kind of defensive pressure they can put on the quarterback may be a long day for Peyton Manning Dallas is at Arizona where a lot of points figured me scored yes indeed but for the Dallas Cowboys now back-to-back games that they didn't really play very well the Washington Redskins they got beat at home a week ago they struggled today against the Cincinnati Bengals and if not for this big play by Terrell Owens that may have ended up a loss there as well and for the Arizona Cardinals they're now 8 and 2 at home under Ken Whisenhunt and this is a personal thing for the Cardinals because typically in Arizona when the Cowboys come to town there's about 10,000 Cardinal fans and about 70,000 Cowboys and you wonder if that might be a little more blended this time all right we will find out come next Sunday we'll also see you guys a week from tonight al and you'll see us Bob from San Diego and that's quite a game that we have as well because I mean the way the AFC has gone this year with you know Brady obviously getting hurt on opening day and in Indy getting off to a slow start and now all of a sudden the San Diego Chargers who lost to Heartbreakers the first two weeks are 2 and 3 New England will stay out on the west coast this week after bidding San Francisco training in Northern California and then go to San Diego and that's obviously a very big game for both teams yeah for both of them and I think you know the things that you just talked about with the with the Patriots and with the Colts and with San Diego they were the three best teams in the air and then when they stumble that opens up everything for everyone else and I think that you know we watch Pittsburgh tonight I mean Pittsburgh is one of the teams you know you just see that the door has been open and if you're going to get some of these teams you're Tennessee maybe this is a year to get them there five and on Pittsburgh's like you know in a bloodbath every week but they right now are four and one in good position obviously in the AFC North Jacksonville now two and three and three games back of Tennessee already so next week to San Diego we go the Chargers hosting the Patriots for now Al Michaels John Madden Andrea Kramer our producer Fred Fedeli
