2011 Week 9 - Packers @ Chargers

Fox Sports welcomes you to the following presentation of the National Football League [Music] it is a cloudy rainy Sunday in San Diego a sellout crowd on anok Qualcomm Stadium many of them dined and green and gold as a defending Super Bowl champions come to town to take on the sandy [Applause] welcome to America's game of the week here on Fox while the Packers for the 4th time in franchise history 7n Oh to begin a season and when you have undeniably the league's MVP at quarterback so far this year you can understand why well toys about the quarterback but Aaron Rodgers Mike McCarthy will tell you it's a lot about a whole bunch more and I'm talking about the receiving corps it's a home gone group they've been together since day one with Aaron Rodgers they think and act as one and that's scary for opponents defensively they give up some points or I should say they give up some yards but they don't give up a lot of points this charger team is capable of some big plays they're gonna have to keep that to a minimum but you talked about San Diego on offense in many wonder what has happened with Phillip Rivers a league-high 11 interception ful rivers and north turner sat down together looked at about a dozen throws that said we've got to get this corrected now this is a leak quarterback or has been he can be again the problem is if this turns into a track meet and they've got to keep up with Aaron Rodgers can they do it without the mistakes that have led to some turnovers and some losses speaking of turnovers who could forget on trying to just run the thing down to kick a game-winning field goal then the bobble the snap turn the ball over Kansas City won in overtime philip's rivers is thought about it all week for more on that here's what open [Applause] I've ever dealt with he said finally what got him over the mark was on Wednesday he was talking about it for the thousandth time with his wife when his nine-year-old daughter heavily burned it out daddy you've got to let it go nine-year-old perspective guys no question about that Mike McCarthy 47 year old Pittsburgh Pennsylvania native a Super Bowl champion leading the Packers a year ago they've won overall 13 straight games on the other side his fifth year in San Diego's first four years going Turner one division titles and he's been great through November in December and it appears he'll need another big run as they go in today a three-way tie atop the AFC West [Applause] the secretary [Music] [Applause] they lead this team in order to feel they're piling up the yards but you look at this offense overall they're missing some big weapons today in the backfield and Malcom Floyd one of their big wide receivers well what's interesting is the two leading receivers on this team are the running backs that tells me that teams come into this game against the chargers and say we're not going to give you the big play to that gifted receiving group or to Antonio Gates we're going to let you have the backs out of the back see the numbers for livers as a study here [Applause] package defensively as Breyer mentioned a moment ago they will give up a lot of yards but they really buckle down and don't surrender hearing many points only 20 on average again the question for me is who are they gonna put on this back in with Antonio Gates we may see Woodson on him a great deal out of the Packers nickel package [Applause] [Music] and the bowling ball of the back will get plenty of carries to game I'm Ryan and Matthews men of the most notable names today the core of Turin is not have we talked about Matthews we talked about Floyd and still on defense they're leading set made over the last seven years Shawn Phillips Luis Castillo still out with a broken left that's quite a list there for San Diego to overcome [Applause] [Music] they both understand the importance that's great thing about the NFL Tom 16 games every game is important obviously for San Diego coming off a hugely disappointing loss to Kansas City might mean a little bit [Applause] particularly on the road so a good start gain of 23 on the first play couple of runs pick up a second first day [Applause] by Jackson close to a letter Thursday based on inside the 35 which they do just 101 on the back side the quit play back inside took away [Applause] the charges can continue to drag this run up and they had a couple good ones already huge with Philip burgers in terms of throwing these open receivers on the outside ryan mathews they're going to miss him today he's the most explosive of the bats October a much better passer attack let's to the inside and outside to be [Applause] there's a physicality to the Chargers when they're running the ball well and North Turner is good a play comer is it is known for obviously great passing offenses Norv Turner wants to run the ball he knows that's the formula for this team he knows that's the best friend that Phillip Rivers could have if they can crank the line on the first day the first name is cutlet - slowing down and then took it and Clay Matthews finished him off first lowered down for San Diego on this game opening drive San Diego is as good as anybody in the league leave their second league and third down conversions that keeps a lot of drives alive Norv Turner knows that he can be very aggressive with his play calling because when you're above 50% this incredible that means you got [Applause] you don't realize how big and physical a bat Tolbert is he's 204 and as I mentioned earlier he and Matthews have been very good catching the ball out of the backfield you don't expect that out of the big man but this is a big physical man that will challenge the interior of the Green Bay Packers line [Applause] witson gets plugged way to slap on this play he's supposed to be the deepest man in the secondary I don't know what drew him up but Jennsen to get in behind all that talked about what's on the Philip Rivers you look pretty good in the first drive [Applause] [Music] took the touchdown today's game on Fox is sponsored by Southwest Airlines by their pairs online only is Southwest calm while considering what happened at the end of regulation in Kansas City on Monday night would have buckled snap a good way to forget all about what happened and a good way to get the crowd back into it Philip Rivers been criticism this week what a great way to open up [Applause] get returned to the 37 yard line all right rivers and the Tigers with a touchdown Rodgers with a chance to [Music] today's game is sponsored by the Bud Light the official beer sponsor of the NFL here we go Tigers lead 7-nothing 27 year old calif mr. scogan start it is the first seven weeks of this season that went to German lien with so many weapons on outstanding and very young offensive line starts at all it does in the receiving corps we talked about obviously just saw to michael finley don't go to them for big break the Jordy Nelson's the we need something [Applause] I never got the start offense number 75 yard penalty so second now [Applause] the second down in the yard goes a second down and six easy to forget what about state [Music] he may not be as dynamic as fast as Michael did but his career numbers the last three seasons since becoming the starter have been very very good and it's comical to me that this guy fell down the draft and we were all wrong because he supposedly wasn't a good enough athlete couldn't do enough outside the pocket we were all don't tell me man nothing to do it [Applause] San Diego really missing Shawn Phillips injured his foot a couple of weeks ago missed the Kansas City game they're thinking he'll miss next week's game before coming back we're clean twine binds replaces it absolutely and if you're going to get to Aaron Rodgers from San Diego the with four and five man if they have to commit more people than Aaron Rodgers [Applause] this berries have been few and far between since he won for 92 yards against Chicago Fashion Week trees had a kidney injury and only 25 carries over the last three games for Ryan [Applause] [Music] [Music] hoping to see detective [Applause] [Music] to the 42 I just talked about the need to get to Rogers with four and five man rocks and when you do that you have to run to the stops right there see they get all clogged up right in there they're trying to run stunts that's what you have to do if you're going to bring just four or five people make it tough to that offensive line the Green Bay Packers you just can't rush them straight up the field but then you also they yourself vulnerable [Applause] [Music] three Gregg Mineski the first-year coordinator for the San Diego Chargers was very familiar with Mike McArthur they coached together and sent in San Francisco they're very good friends and we've had a couple of their games over the last couple years where the muskie was in San Francisco it's the constant chess match he knows the way the game needs to be called by my tea party he also has his opens he knows exactly what by personnel in damages [Applause] run it short of the first down this time it'll bring up third down and three this way had to pull it down there three DBS / - they can't shake loose enough for Aaron Rodgers here that his go-to guide to Michael Finley with just a linebacker one-on-one but what you see right there Eric Weddle over the top they're gonna put two and three guys anytime they can get [Applause] with America's decreased when the coverage in dancing Milton's just replacing one Jason as a San Diego starting corner a week ago in Kansas City after fair instead of defense [Applause] there is in the books it's look back like I'm playing the ball but do that hand fighting Jordy Nelson is a bit physical receiver and you've got to get your hands on this you're going to keep up [Applause] 25 [Applause] the six life [Music] back then coverage as well they got the match up they wanted they moved to me the late shift and once you get that matchup one-on-one Gregory all but 511 Finley a good six-four six-five with the ball [Applause] you gonna cool [Applause] with a great day [Applause] 40 left to play in the quarter [Applause] [Music] look at the number is on Aaron Rodgers three out of three 18 yards in the air with a touchdown to fiddler but he way in for 24 more I remember the first time we sat with Aaron Rodgers a couple years ago Tom he brought up to Michael Finney remember that and it was over of why smile come over his face because he just talked about the sheer athleticism introduced the first time I heard the idea of throwing the guy over this uh statistical skills and has become a real go-to guy [Music] deep into the end zone [Applause] you see the same oh maybe did get a little over there wider to help out because one-on-one that matchup he's gonna go to every single car [Applause] Cary's for twenty yards i talked about how mike mccarthy the packers in their opening sequence would throw in a number of personnel on a number of different formation San Diego doesn't do it quite that way that they motion for shift and almost every play and they're trying to do the same thing they're probing the Packer defense to see what does this ship what does this motion do to you and my openers so I can come back three seconds [Applause] whoops it would sit in a manner that ascensions two weeks ago in Minnesota this is just the kind of thing that Philip Rivers was very conscious of when we talked to him about facing Dom Capers defense you got to know where everybody is particularly Charles Woodson I don't know where that guy is this is it the MVP defensive MVP of the league he's all over the place it's going to be a long day for Philip Rivers in terms of [Applause] Desmond decent Connecticut innocence initiative she's 15 1080 four races forty yards the other way to the school desmond bishop i want you to watch 55 of right here he's going to run with antonio gates he's on him gets his hands on the ball normally that's a matchup the july and right now the Chargers they got to convert they got to turn into defenders here a little lackadaisical I know they're not paid to do this but you cannot let Green Bay score is going to be a long enough day just watching Phil occur excuse me [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] first career touchdown for strong safety Charlie Tucker you may remember he replaced Morgan for another starter in leap for last year's and that when Nick Collins got hurt this year pepra again finds himself in a starting role that was the hallmark of this Green Bay team last year in the championship run a guy goes down next guy steps up and the byproducts to that we got a lot of guys with a lot of experience year another one of those guys coaches that guy right there desmond bishop does a nice job here one one engage you see this all the time but right at the top probably should have let them a little bit more in here you see this all the time you got to keep it away from the safety but nice job by bishop he knew exactly what was happening and then here you see clay matthews he you know we talked about offensive guys turning the tacklers watch clay matthews turned into a blocker there nice job springing his running-mate into the endzone level the left tackle marcus McNeil return [Applause] this hit mr. tackle behind the line of scrimmage control admits it into a game [Applause] Green Bay Packers Tom the reason like a lot of people I'm not out of limb they're picking them to come back to the to win the Super Bowl a lot of Hattin do you're pretty lucky you can get to a Super Bowl they didn't have any luck last year does that have luck this year they stayed relatively healthy and some things are falling away this isn't conscious good game for them [Music] it's not so fun today for Dixon Jackson you talk about rivers in the way he has struggled so far this season a real mystery to everybody now look for his seven games since he became the starter the turnovers obviously and it's been this way for as long as the games been played but the turnovers are key typically there's three types there's just a great play by the defense there's just a bad throw and then you're forcing the ball in that last one kind of falls on rivers he needed to lead the receiver who see they're just in a bit more and that place the defunct was able to make a good Club [Applause] first they gain of course to fire poor bird on an outstanding year last year in fact he was voted by his teammates as the Chargers Offensive Player of the Year rushed for a team best 735 yards and n11 rushing touchdowns can catch a ball out of the backfield but a shared time this year would lie in map team the drafted Matthews early actually moved up in the draft a great deal to get Matt because I said earlier now Jesus explosion capisco [Applause] the yard it blends up throw down great job by hawk watch him pull the trigger here a sign of a good linebacker is the ability to recognize and react and that was Ray Lewis like and his ability once he sold the action of the interior line he pulled the trigger hey Jay Hawk does not missed a game since he was a number one fifth out of Ohio State in 2006 season ago [Applause] time we talked about Philip Rivers having thanks to Don [Applause] coverages and trap defenses the first one the interception was just a great play Claire bishop that was a traffic coverage Philip Rivers underwear James attorney so shoulder this entire season he gets his first ever safe singleton second defensive score here in the first quarter on the outside here in the way that are dropping out he thought he had an easy quick flat reception but because of coverage over the top that allowed Williams to jump the underneath rock that's the type of trap coverage I'm talking about it looked one way he's thinking you can see here Philip Rivers look the way I see the defense right now this is going to be a give me this is going to be easy he didn't recognize over the top Woodson allowed Williams to jump the underneath route [Music] they remembered last year wound they offensively started the year last year like they are this year defensively they started last year a lot like they did this year prepare on the back half of the season this defense became the most in the NFL papers again keep in mind doc papers used to be a head coach you know as a head coach you got to worry about your coordinator sometime you know about members you more about stats for yourself for you and win Dom Capers understands he needs to move his offense or excuse me his defense in and out of different modes to match this explosive offense at the Green Bay Packers the track defenses if I need to be passive I'll be passive finally crank up some of these specialty offenses [Applause] already this year in this the eighth game in sent to the eight rivers history two or more interceptions we talked about it's it's a negative statistic meaning you've got to get interceptions but you can't give them up part of the equation the charges haven't generated a lot of turnovers either that makes it very different [Applause] motorboating the more very effective them up to the 39-yard line still a long long way to go in this one and we know that San Diego is more than capable of scoring points on earth and that's the key here never really out of it and that's the the hook that North Turner can use with his tapes gone bass we've been here we've got the athletes [Applause] go to the place down wiped over on the carry by Tolbert tackled by his condition I think that last call is an indication of just what we're talking about you're down 21 7 in a very uncomfortable way with turnovers yet you continue to push the running game he knows North Colonel I'm talking about he needs to continue this ratio of run past to help Phillip Rivers gone down the big plays will come off the plant [Applause] the detective this is exactly what we're talking about the flavors the play-action fake is going to draw the linebackers and move the safety and given their commitment to the run so far we just saw blue four five six yard run it moved the safeties out of the way and now they've got the big play down the field so a first down for San Diego and we begin this second quarter at the Green Bay 20 and opening quarter dominated by the defending Super Bowl champion [Music] continues after this [Music] so to begin a second whole degree [Music] a 14-point Martin [Applause] first and goal for San Diego and seventh at third down you say play-action would leave the big plays to the charges and that third down the big play to get him down to the 20 we talked about this possibly being a track meet this ain't LSU and Alabama this thing's going to be up and down the field because both these quarterbacks are capable clearly here two turnovers if Phillip Rivers can't eliminate the turnovers we've seen their ability to move the ball the 1st and goal for San Diego Hey [Music] [Applause] that's amazing look at these kids they had been inside the redzone the exact same number of times on the year however the Packers have scored touchdowns nearly 60% of the time San Diego scored touchdowns barely over 40% of the time and what's worse they've turned the ball over inside the red zone it's one thing not to get a touchdown red zone efficiency is always a the quality [Applause] [Music] [Applause] looks a little like college ball tobert getting it after a gun snapped two rivers and again look at the size of this guy that's what surprised me I'm not not in person this is a big physical back he got the play out of the backfield to set them up to the score and then got to finish off the drive okay [Applause] [Music] boy rushing touchdown and perhaps their card with getting rid of some frustration after what happened in Kansas City [Music] 2114 green bay in front and obviously it has been every bit of feast or famine offensively for Philip Rivers and the charges he can just stay away from these the Chargers are going to be fun this is great kids up the defensive play on the track defense to get into a rhythm here Green Bay Packer deep Texas [Applause] down to 22 my Foxsports we are so proud to support the Armed Forces Foundation offering vital assistance to servicemembers and their families through financial recreational and emotional support the AFF provides better care and treatment for our military please support America's Heroes by serving those who serve for more information please visit mark forces foundation.org you look at this the Midway which of course now has turned into an initiative fascinating tourist attraction in downtown San Diego he had a chance to go through that thing in yes absolutely fabulous a tagging out for my run this morning I thought I was in assets in Wisconsin though both of the Packers fans you could you can feel them in force here today as well Terra [Applause] scratch his face cherry close to 17 [Applause] offside defense number 99 in the neutral zone bellies decline first down Green Bay 20 will stay let's check in with Curt Menefee just took the road in Los Angeles and the Protima fashion gets the cheer is Tim Tebow hooks up with Eric Decker 27-yard touchdown puts Denver in front of open 7 3 Tebow five touchdown passes one interception [Applause] the longtime Chicago [Applause] [Music] just a great inside rush as we said earlier if they can get there with a four-man rush that will be huge for the Chargers and to get a rush from the inside like that we say it all the time that's the thing quarterback hates more than anything they can get inside from the inside Russia stepping up in the pop [Applause] with red jeddaks you can put your hands on the receiver but you can't change the impetus or the direction of that receiver rather than holding defense [Applause] you're gonna see it here as he runs that out round gets a little off-balance Jim Jim just that last little hole I don't think it was late I think was to grab that arm early that got it [Applause] puts it on the 45 san diego's lining up his own line of scrimmage [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Aaron Rodgers to one of the finest starts by a quarterback in NFL history look at his completion percentage right now would break the all-time single-season record his passer rating you and I don't get necessarily wrapped up at all that last time I saw you were blowing up that theory well those are passing yards per game [Applause] [Music] [Applause] rather spectacular by the second year back out of Buffalo Jane starts Tom we meet with players all the time quarterbacks will come into a room there is a calm about Aaron Rafi and it's always been their glassy-eyed I don't know what's going on calm but there is a Montana s quality about him he knows what he is he knows what his team's about he knows what they're capable of doing [Applause] interesting the Dom campers we visited with as well you know I always love a defensive guys perspective about a quarterback and Dom Capers who's been around this league a long this seems a pretty good quarterback says the best nation [Applause] defensive perspective because you spent more time looking at these offensive they have a certain idea but these [Applause] [Music] so here we are the 37 yard line there's more than enough lady and it looks like Mike McCarthy is thinking about going for it on fourth down well we're just at that range where why not why not make it four down territory and you always want to prepare your play car for are you in fourth down territory but he is the play/pause so unless he's schizophrenic he already had [Applause] if you can take a kiss right this is the good kind San Diego calls a timeout San Diego takes their clip timeout [Applause] [Music] Mayson closby had a franchise-record 58 yarder at the Metrodome two weeks ago his career long on grass is 56 [Applause] to play a no penalty flags anyway [Applause] so the Packers turn it over on downs and San Diego will get the ball with 1007 a play until halftime [Applause] bring in Whittle this is the second time they brought him in this series trying to put pressure on Rogers you can't stay passive against Terran Roger you got to change his clock you got to get him off his base got the ball out there maybe a little earlier than he wanted to [Applause] Kari picks up two [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Aaron Rodgers right here he's going to sit down and this is a little different for him he have to sit down with Tom Clemens he talked about the fact that he generally doesn't get to talk to Mike McCarthy that much because Mike McCarthy obviously has his attention else r-right now he really has to the line is quote about Koch to communicate the things that they're saying from inside one [Applause] never we just I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this isn't exactly the way this play was drawn up and again this is Philip Rivers being Philip Rivers who's such a competitor that's the type of thing that now can backfire on you and then you'll criticize him for even doing that but this book pro privilege is about and just turn a dead play maybe a disaster if you've a big play I was almost another force turnover that Charles Woodson [Applause] sterile often they say completed pass I think they're calling that a completed pass and then a fumble out of bounds now the officials will talk about it on the sidelines this is too bad he had the potential to turn this up for some big yards he never had control of that they're gonna have to confer with one another I don't know that it's worthy of a replay necessarily for Mike McCarthy [Applause] while they were calling it a completed pass away they're spotting the football forward out of the ball we back brought back to the spot where the funnel was gonna be second down I don't know that he really had control you've got to catch the ball then do the football act he's got one but now the ball is already beginning to move before he gets the second step down not worthy of a challenge because you're only talking about a couple of yards let's check in again with Curt Menefee back in Los Angeles a couple of first for Oakland against Denver this is my third Bush's first ever receiving touchdown when asked with the Polli more important Raiders is Carson Palmer's first touchdown pass in silver in black they lead the Broncos 10 7 in second quarter Tom Ryan and Laura Bryan were you a little surprised at Crescent Palmer after being really picked up after that trade from Cincinnati then he played the first game he quit Thank You Jackson witches hat for the adoptions Whitaker with reading dunya tough position to be put in that's the second ball the gates is black comes in Wow holding defense number 21 five-yard penalty you can see that this is two pretty good players 101 charles woodson obviously and right here they're just fighting with one another I don't know where that hell came in I don't know about that one there was enough pushin I thought maybe they might have got called for offensive pass interference when he shoved him by it Charles Woodson is not gonna love that you know when you talk about it Charles Woodson I was fortunate to coach some pretty good DBS Edie Reed Rod Woodson Deion Sanders the intellect of these guys [Applause] 40 that'll be a first down run of five yards and when you find the great defensive backs in this league Tom we find it all the time look at the numbers here I mean they a Defensive Player of the Year obviously that typically will come from a secondary because the turnovers but what jumps out at you Darrelle Revis the same way the great cover guys obviously have physical skills but they have a perception of the game they're very very intelligent they play intelligent game that's a good part of the equation for them [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and that's another Chargers first down as we close in on seven minutes the boys say they go down a touchdown it's part of the game watch here this is part of the game that Philip Rivers is playing now with Dom Capers we've seen Charles Woodson on Antonio Gates now in his own coverage we see Zombo and a linebacker on him Philip Rivers is going to be looking to see his go-to guy obviously Antonio Gates who's on fighting him on linebacker zone [Applause] look like that pants Nathan tempted Elias trimming as it was way off line to the intended receiver and Desmond Bishop Norman almost had a interception and this is one of the tips you don't wouldn't necessarily put on Phillip Rivers unlike the earlier one where he forced the ball a little bit that's just one of those things accorded to the quarterbacks worst nightmare when all of a sudden he sees the ball the trajectory change unbelievable Ryan picked getting his hand up there may be getting another turnover at that point Phillip Rivers carries the ball a little lower in his terrific short big man those things do [Applause] false start offense to five-yard pip still second down after a couple of interceptions resulting in Green Bay touchdowns rivers back to back very good drives and children has been that toy [Applause] recovering behind him for the Green Bay defense it brings have closed down the wall [Applause] the pressure defense of the Green Bay Packers particularly in a running situation I say go run through San Diego can be substantial if you can catch them in a pressure not to all those big runs get cranked out because you have too many guys up the field too many guys behind you nothing but grass and the couple TVs from you need to get to the 21 good coverage back from on William Ramos a great catch by Vincent Jackson countin on his height to be able to bring this thing down and was probably just a little too high for so we've seen both defenses that we talked about this thing in a trap beat but now we've seen both defenses kind of burrow up stiffen up she's settle down and now we'll look at now - field goal attempt previously a front by the Packers Novak Kidd his first 15 attempts as the charger they're missing for 52 yards away [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you're very sporting [Music] check out mr. Novak he knew he had 52 yards of that right left under these conditions with a wet ball he's thinking thank God I just dodged the bullet does that thing oh the dog is the crosswalk [Applause] [Music] somehow stayed on his feet he broke a town full of Charisse right and picked up an additional five yards after being stalled on their last Drive Rodgers and company Getti earlier when we return Toye the third offensive possession for Green Bay in this first half [Applause] and what his satellite back to the 16 [Music] we talked about him wanting to go to Jordy Nelson in critical or a way to get his team jump-started wanted to go there but the charges jumped all over it nice job ended up having to reap up it obviously a bad situation for a quarterback as the pressure from San Diego with the four-man front continues to be pretty decent against down [Applause] 20 shoes he comes right back on 2nd down and gives a huge chunk of that yardage right back first catch made by the Packers all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards Donald Driver and what an asset to have a guy like Donald fly with his 13 years we talked earlier this receding Corazon and they came up with [Applause] we're trying to figure out who pulled who here the thing the point should start here they'll point you you point it me [Applause] both those sets of coaches know what happened there guy did it no the other guy floated on the Senate's top world you can see leboy here at the bottom begin to move a little bit and the question is did he react to the center and now the offensive line moved this the boy jumped the synergist lifting his head up [Applause] or the turkey action [Applause] Raja's is the leading rusher for a great day today 49 rushing yards well it looked like was going to be a coverage sack because down the field everybody is locked up right here's where normally the quarterback after waits but look you can see here they everything gets collapsed in that's great that coverage downfield had him shut down but everybody had their back to the quarterback and that allowed an error just to pull it down who's Berta first down on the plus side of the cookie 51 [Applause] for the grape jelly it'll be a gain of three second down and seven coming up as it continues to rain who would have thunk it you were leaving Baltimore I was leaving Cincinnati thinking we get a little sunshine out here you know what I grew up out here I grew up in Redlands California 90 miles away took me 4 and 1/2 hours to get down you're still bitter oh yeah you know I'm a Southern California guy so that's it say you can take your own shots with a little bit of rain on the ground these people turn to idiots unbelievable [Applause] as a groupie [Applause] that's the light where they're gonna spot you have gotten to blitz Aaron Rodgers you got to change it up you just can't sit pass it the problem is he's number one in the league right now against pressures his completion percentage he gets touchdowns it's hard to get home but you've got to bring it you can't sit in just one defense or the other Bregman husky knows that you got to pick your spots yeah you want to get home with four and five occasionally you have let me ask a silly question here real quick they're bringing the chains from the other side of the field why don't they have a set of chains on each side of the field well because you couldn't get you can't get them matched up perfectly there has to be one official market you just you know it's tough enough I'm tough from the coaching perspective they screw up the one set of markers in that final but you just looked at one [Applause] long time question [Applause] where Saturday night Fox Sports will step into the Octagon the heavyweight title fight Velasquez against the number one right Junior dos Santos every Saturday 9:00 Eastern 6:00 Pacific [Applause] we're sort of thing [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] he has been a real good player for the package to take victim off waivers from the Steelers and that that wasn't boos from the San Diego crowd because it's a heavy contingent of the packer their California Packer fans I can tell that I can tell the difference see if because if they were coming from Wisconsin that have their hunting fatigues on so this is definitely the California plus they have shirts on so that tells me that this is the California Packer fans that looks like Vaughan Martin is the injured San Diego charger young man born in Jamaica raised in London Ontario didn't start to play football until the 10th grade they like his future hopefully he's gonna be alright [Music] so they should have one we're all overtime to Dallas they're doing it the old-fashioned way they're running the ball they're playing good defense we're not turning the ball over a lot of people questioning can that win a championship for you they're looking awful good right now there are a lot of folks out there that said the Jim Harbaugh was gonna have a very rough rookie year as a head coach irrelevant [Music] Oh [Applause] Donald Driver to the 29-yard line will bring up second down and the Packers are huddling up with a ball inside the San Diego 34 three time man two timeouts excuse me it's exactly what we do you still want to control the clock even if you scored you had liked not to leave them a lot of time with the timeout to animal orchestrated call either [Applause] to the 40 excellent coverage by the San Diego seconding Green Bay will spend a time out stopping the clock with 111 to play and it begins because of the inside pressure by Garre he was able to remake Rodgers reshift at nice ball security by Rodgers you talked about what goat they do they don't turn the ball over Eve in that situation great ball security allowed Barnes then to clean up again great pressure on the inside that's twice now that Aaron Rodgers has felt that pressure from the inside not a San Diego team that has applied much pressure at all in fact coming in only 13 sacks total in the first seven games if they've gotten the Rogers four time they've got to think about field goal as much as first time nobody somebody to first [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jennings to ban rush yet for sex in the game well they're counting on coverage there see if they could force him into an issue they now go into the no-huddle with only the two timeouts they want to keep one in their back pocket as we get close to underneath here the previous play is under review they want to make sure that the catch was made by Jenny on that blow throw can we see any bobbling does he have control that's gonna be the kid clearly his hands and underneath it we need to see movement now that looks pretty good secure there plus his hands underneath it I got asked you to up Brian there's no doubt that's a catch and they should even waste your time but you have for sex one errand lodges your rush to bodies so what we say third down and 11 wha what we say earlier you've got to change it up that doesn't mean you like to call you know you'd love to pressure a lot and you could pressure you could throw seven eight nine guys at them at every snap eventually it's going to make to pay you could go passive every play at some point is going to carve you up that was just part of the sequence third and long let's see if we can smother off or make them drop the ball underneath will rally up as long as we stop them then don't give them the first down didn't work there because it looks like the catch is going to hold up but it's just part of the place he can sing you do it didn't work so you know what it was the wrong call I love the mentality of the Packers in the red zone they said it yesterday touchdown to check after review of the play the ruling on the field is confirmed it is a catch first down green back their mentality has touched down to check down there's going to be somebody in the endzone on every play that gives him the option to make that throw and he knows right away defense does want to give it to you I'll come right down and check when they spot the ball the clock this stuff [Applause] just short it appears of a first down of the 16 yard line and that was exactly what I'm talking about he's gonna look down the field does coverage give me the shot here look he's looking down the field no no no all right I'll take the check down right there and the transition for him what on a football field as Aaron Rodgers not seen now so he knows the look he's looking forward to get whatever route down the field not there [Applause] on the tiger michaël finland got 22 seconds left got the perfect jam here threw him off bounce just enough he needed to get back outside a little bit of a bump there incidental contact couldn't quite get a strike back Aaron Rodgers knew to match up if he could he right there he just missed it probably needed a little more air to let the big family [Applause] San Diego takes their second timeout 30 seconds for Green Bay and right now let's go to Curt Menefee to see what's coming up on the visa halftime report Curt and just a bit we'll walk you through the visa halftime report with all the scores and highlights for a busy week nine in the National Football League which includes the Dolphins getting their first win and a good NFC South battle between the Bucs of the Saints Plus the Fox Sports ticket left to the sentence that's the Visa halftime all right Curt thank you very much some of the early game headliners the Dolphins getting their first win of the year Kansas City you know go figure they lose it first three they win four in a row and they lose at home today to buy in the Marco Murray or what an injection of grunting game lights he's given Dallas and Julio Jones you've been talking about him since he came out about a bet well he's healthy just a wedding 20 seconds left [Music] [Applause] this is the classic classic definition of drawing a guy having faith in Jordy Nelson to michael finley his to go to guys in this type of throw I'm going to throw the ball where I have to to be safe you come up with it looks like he had control of it just like the last one we'll see here this will be challenged now again yeah we'll be challenged well they don't have to here in the other two minutes of it but we're talking about channels from above but again the ball can touch the ground as long as you show control through the action right there it's moving a little bit little boy that's a tough one let's remember it was called a touchdown you can simultaneously control the ball as it touches the ground this is the Tony Dungy rule from years and years ago that one's that that one's going to challenge it a little bit was there movement but you can as long as you have control and it touches the ground you're okay I don't know if that's the case but that's what they're looking at right now [Music] are they taking a long look at this one [Applause] let's go to the former head of NFL officials standing by in Fox command center Mike Pereira Mike what do you think about this tall they a double-dip here you got to see into the catch and is he down by contact short of the goal line watch the foot of the receiver hit the leg of the defender which I think puts it down if it's a catch but I don't think it's a catch I don't think he has come forward before the ball tip the tip of the ball hits the ground seem to be sliding through the arm they got a couple things to look at here let's go take quite a while to to take a look at it here he get one more look the key is he comes back and gets control right there is early enough again as the ball touches the ground did he had up enough control through the process as we say prior to the ball or just as with hitting ground you know Brian mentioned a moment ago might be Tony Dungy rule for those who don't remember tell us about how Tony Dungy came into play on a play like this well what was this played only got involved in this well remember that re yeah go ahead you remember this was the rule that Tony against a st. Louis all those years was talking about what is a legitimate catch as long as I've got control what does it matter that it hits the ground at the same time yeah that's the whole thing of course replay replay got this reverse way back in years ago in Tampa Bay was Tony and Tony in that situation there where it was ruled incomplete even though the receiver thank you Mike Farina and that's the eighth consecutive game now a team record where the Green Bay Packers have scored 24 or more points and they've done it before the Hat and the verbage is important remember the verbage if it's confirmed they saying they have undisputed evidence that it was a catch if it stands you know what I didn't see enough to see that it was in a catchment the Bourbons they're important May 7th was me [Applause] and score a touchdown with 18 seconds remaining the way these teams respond to one another and we've seen it on San Diego as well with all the things that have happened to San Diego you love the way that they emotionally responded regathered themselves weathered the storm came up with the drive and right now was kind of going San Diego's way a little bit and then Aaron Rodgers pulls off this long classic Aaron Rodgers Drive in terms of just carving up a defense and we saw it against pressure we saw it against passive coverage he hit a number of different receivers he used every weapon in his arsenal to take him down the field at the half to get a score [Applause] place 74 yards chewing up five get into 30 seconds Roger sitting on 70 65 yards with his legs on that drive at third [Applause] and throwing on the run michael vick included that swells better on the run outside the pocket more accurately than Roger [Applause] take them out [Music] [Applause] what can you define you will look up efficiency in the dictionary just pick a game by Aaron Rodgers well he saw the game two weeks ago when he hit on his first 15 passes at one point he was 20 out of 23 the three incompletions one was his spiked and the other two were drop balls but that's not a perfect game to the quarterback rating system so that's why I say and let's don't forget Green Bay will get the ball to begin the second half for a couple of Philip River interceptions directly leading to Green Bay touchdowns box NFL 28:17 packers [Music] snoring in the opening half 28:17 Greenbay in front and the packers will get the ball when we begin a second half not necessarily gaudy offensive numbers for the Packers because they scored twice on interception return but then when they did have it they moved it pretty good and this is a big series for San Diego they after giving up that late score in the half they can't give up another score here and expect to stay close in this game big defensive series for them anything as you look at San Diego on defense they did have four sacks on Aaron Rodgers in the first half anything you say okay we're doing this well or we better start doing this a little bit different they're getting pretty good pressure with a four and five man rush we said that was going to be important he's got to change it up the passive zone the aggressive don't get too aggressive Aaron Rodgers is pretty good at it but as long as they can put a little bit of pressure with the four and five man rush they're gonna be okay well we remind you to always follow your favorite NFL team all season long go to iTunes comm slash the third quarter has been green baize most dominant corner so far this season it's really where they have blown the opposition out of the gym they've outscored them sixty nine to ten and the third quarter [Applause] the second half is underway [Applause] and he stopped at the 18-yard line let's check in along the sidelines 27 points Mike McCarthy feels pretty good about the balance of his offense that's going to continue defensively wants to tighten up the run defense as preneur Turner wants to keep running the ball mix it in with some Paxton passing defensively you won't be surprised they've got to contain Aaron Rodgers he said we know he's going to make some big plays but we got to create some turnovers we've got to stop them running all over us Laurie thank you you talk about the balance the Packers are averaging nine yards of cherry they've only carried it nine times with Rodgers has four rushes start office strikes to begin a second half a gain of two and now is when the early part of the game comes into play we talked about Mike McCarthy rolling personnel and formations to get a sense of okay what are you going to do to this personnel what are you gonna do to that in this formation you now see where that comes into play because we're going to see what he derived from all that personnel change awesome a group look like Tommy Harris may have jumped the gun was he drawn off size neutral zone infraction defense number 95 yard penalty second [Applause] let's don't forget that aspect of it Aaron Rodgers obviously one of the veteran quarterbacks now knows how to use that stock again this crowd was into it they were fired up they've become a little subdued now I don't know that they want to be sitting on their hands they need to get that game here and start looping it up because the last thing you want to be able to do is let Aaron Rodgers start checking at the line unabated because of those to the 32 yard line got a good block by Brian Balaji's right tackle in his second year out of Iowa this offensive line has had to shuffle around a little bit you got a new house on the left side he had to come over to the right side for a while because blocker was out for a couple weeks he's now having to fill in for Clifton on the left side that latitude within the offensive lines a little look what I talked about last year due to the injuries they had last year you got some substitute play by guys that now have to step in to play on the regular basis or effect to start [Applause] [Music] Nelson for a gain of close to 10 Paul at 9 on first down and let's check in with Curt Menefee in Los Angeles while the Giants defense holding Tom Brady and the Patriots in check Deon went for the second interception of grandi so far on this game and has led to the only points a field goal by Lawrence Tynes and the Giants have a cleanup to believe in the third for common boy what a surprise that is do it look getting shut out at home [Applause] [Music] Tom I want to go back to play with Aaron Rodgers I talk about his hat we see outside the pocket watch this now he gets flushed he has to move and that's fine to complete it but watch where this ball is thrown going away that ball is right on the money for Jordy Nelson as he approached the sideline it had to be very active you'd understand if it wasn't but as he approaches the sideline he's got to get the catch he's got to get the feed in that accuracy outside the top of the study to mate by air at four seven o'clock Foreign Legion number one out of Illinois getting a sack of Rogers we'll see where they spotted it might not be a sack actually they'll call it a gain of one no they brought a five-man rush that time and I talked earlier Tom about this receiving corn with the exception of driver they're all in year four five and six and was interesting Aaron Rodgers talked about most of them on their second contract now which means there's a comfort zone though these guys grew up together the subtle sense of it's fun to watch I mean can you make it better clothing that that was absolutely perfectly defended by Antoine Jason looked at this throw it again then not necessarily throwing a guy open but he's got a big receiver infinitely sui knows you know what I can afford to throw it low and outside I can throw it away from the DB and it bares the question what does a guy cover the jumper you highly [Applause] where do folks need to stop yesyes and again just a matchup you want you got the big Finley can use his size he doesn't have to beat this guy by much maybe got a little way with a little shove there but Aaron Rodgers what I get a very accurate throat you just say that that's an accurate throw if they had no pressure whatsoever but Aaron Rodgers having to step up in the pocket and run around the last minute said you know what I need to get the ball out I got a guy that I think's open I'm invisible [Applause] [Music] [Applause] stucks to the 32 will be gain of five [Applause] after a good run up the middle like that we would not be surprised to see them come back again with the play-action fake and a shot to the endzone they're running the ball just enough at Mike McCarthy obviously with they're not Rogers you're averaging 10 yards of throw 63 65 percent seven percent he'll lose in here on some time you don't throw the ball the tension would be why would I run the ball but he knows he tries to keep them in a respectable ratio I'll tell if they gave this bill and his kid the ball 25 30 times again he'd be running for over a hundred a game and James starts it's good back well we were here when he when that that came out you hundred mentioned that the kid out of Buffalo and they were searching Ryan Grant had been hurt this guy kind of emerged on the scene and really gave them just enough of the counterbalance to run the the Stars exploded the post-season westerly to the postseason [Applause] never been around making place like that for a decade here in San Diego that's a long hole throw that thing came out just late enough otherwise they were going to get an either third down jammer timing up just right to get to Jordy Nelson Aaron Rodgers wishing they had gotten the ball out of his hands just a tad quick we go back to last season in Mason Crosby has made a franchise record 21 consecutive field goals this climb from 47 yards good snap good hold it's going to light breaks out pushing and shoving at the 40-yard line we do [Music] well those are some of the shots yesterday afternoon [Music] [Applause] [Music] 31:17 Greenbay in front san diego getting the football for the first time in his second half they need to set the tone to try and get back within one score [Applause] a penalty flag dropped behind the line of scrimmage [Applause] holding offense number 81 pennies half the distance to the goal line replay first enemy that's Randy McMichael the backup tight end you're gonna watch him come into motion here he's going to end up my Michael on the edge and when this thing bounces outside kind of catches him up off guard he's got his hands and all sudden the guy starts to pull outside and you can see right there he's got the hold on him kind of shocked him that it bounced outside sun shining through the crowd to the first time today [Applause] up to the 35-yard line beam of 26 let's check in with Curt Menefee back in Los Angeles well where have we seen this before the Giants doing a number on Tom Brady Michael Foley skips and Brady fumbles it at the 10 yard line very next play Brandon Jake runs it in for the touchdown Brady with that fumble two interceptions as well on the Giants on a 10 nothing lead at New England in the third quarter Tommy Brian [Applause] spectacular super bill there is a drop by the normally sure-handed Jakob mister [Applause] well that's the second questionable one they gave him the first one if you remember in the first half where it was questionable whether there's a catch same thing and it's this kind of check down change look at his eyes come off the ball right there I mean since junior high what are you taught look the ball into your hands don't take your eye off the ball even at this level [Applause] second down attack [Applause] [Music] on the far sideline the way the Packers blitz but a glitch from too far away they did and then trying to make up coverage they left themselves vulnerable you can see here right now something happen we're supposed to cross off you can't leap Antonio Gates uncovered you know you leave someone covered leave 22 uncovered is drop two balls these penalties the last three weeks now for San Diego just killed him [Applause] yeah you just you gotta look in you gotta check the ball in the center can't line up offsides obviously and all of a sudden now this makes it a very long play coy go to long enough Drive as it is you've got to respond to the Green Bay Packers who scored them to the half came down and put in position to get a field goal to start that are the second half these turnovers is a set Walden never quit on a play that's just perseverance coming from the outside now you just run it down write it down he's able to break contain and then keep coming he's about ready to throw the ball but don't stop don't stop great perseverance on the back side get never stop until the play is over and now he puts him in a serving at 16 forty-five that is a slow down conversion desmond bishop again number 55 this is tough Duty for a linebacker against Antonio Gates people who will help over the top other Miller children win that matchup too many times remember it was the interception down the middle of the field that Bishop was able to break out this time they take gates to the outside give him the entire sideline to work through gates returned Monday night in Kansas City after missing three games Beulah products [Applause] go to got it figured that we're going to get gates involved he only had three receptions in the first half he's been dealing with the foot injury obviously the entire year but what a huge asset for thought rivers he'll be the first one to tell you a good quarterback always has a good tight end to get the ball to he's October that's good number posted in the Packard 38 [Applause] Matthew's not in the game as we said he's much worse above the two backs but I I've not seen a lot of tobert really like what I see again a complete back he's got a physical presence to him but I was unaware about that's shut him up the noon [Applause] they contact with some of the sideline personnel over there hopefully there all right that's his first cash so we're for a week against Miami his third overall catch of his career [Applause] San Diego State we're seeing some matchups here we're due to the pressures the unique nature of the Green Bay Packer defense there you can see Zombo trying to run him down linebackers on wide receivers linebackers on Antonio Gates is not the matchup from any living world [Applause] Michael across the millah field and Green Bay took that away but nice job watch him step up here here there shallow right shallow routes coming across boom just blows them up that took him out of the play that's one way to break it up philip river wishing he had a little bit more air underneath gates because he was clearly behind the second though [Applause] McMichael took that hit from Desmond dishes [Applause] sixteen by Woodsen throw down and maybe a yard yard and a half coming up San Diego needs touchdowns field goals aren't going to do it and clearly I'm not sure North Turner again like a Mike McCarthy on the other side North permit is the play collar so right now this third down call is going to be based on whether he has decided to my gun going for down territory if we don't get it here if you're going to go for down might be at time to slip a run in here a trap or ball [Applause] let's cut it and cook it up the temps down the Patrick Crayton the former cowboy worst nightmare the defensive coordinator when you bring pressure right here there's a hat you pick up the pressure with that many bodies coming in that means I've got one-on-one in behind it and that's usually going to favor the offense Brian thicket got a fingertip on that pass but it had enough steam on it to carry into the arms of [Applause] coming into the game we told you rivers led the NFL in interceptions with 11 he's thrown two of the day but in the 11 interceptions coming into this one six of them have come into three losses six of them have been inside the opponent's 30-yard line and that's the killer as we said it's one thing to trade touchdowns for field goal particularly gets a team like the Packers but the turnovers in the red giant I'm not sure [Music] [Applause] you get this place we check every shot mechanics seven points on Bishop [Applause] just breaks out we saw the deeper alibis a third down a linebacker on Antonio Gates is not going to be enough you gotta help him or have something over the top that's to deeper out routes to gates they've been very productive against the linebacker you said it the very important to try and stay with the Packers [Applause] and touchdown lilies two gates and now point after away from the beginning one possession game [Applause] [Music] minutes walk to his game [Music] because I made an answer scoring drive for San Diego 12 plays 84 yards showing up six and a half minute Tonio gates a huge part of that drive four catches 46 yards and a touchdown [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Antonio Gates has been created these kinds of reactions from linebackers for years the coverage of every NFL game with NFL mobile call star saw NFL now needles to say san diego's had a hard time stopping Green Bay this entire game they need to stop here the trade 74 threes as long as they can do what they've done the last two series they'll be okay [Music] antwuan mines here very excited about the way he's been playing taking over for the injured Shawn Phillips coming off the top high rush maintained contained no not there a slip underneath at Antwon and Baltimore this guy can get after the quarterback they're trying to do a lot of things within dropping in the coverage as well [Applause] these activities Giddings among the games very best though his name it frequently comes up haven't heard from him all day watch this he catches this thing out the backside zero back field meaning there was no one in the back field of 3x2 alignment to get the matchups you want what a great catch heaven has called his name all day long big catch great catch that thing was coming out the back side what [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to the 46-yard line you would explain that three and two stuff again one more time for us to leave it out there Lehman's a 3x2 says there's three receivers to one side two on this on the backside meaning no one in the backfield all right right yeah coach B you have a show they call coach speak very highly rated up to the end of the third quarter Fox NFL Sunday continues after a break from your station should be a thrilling fourth quarter coming up in San Diego [Music] around 5:00 [Applause] the Packers so rarely get into a Jew bath I set for a traditional football night teams tend to condense because they don't run the ball very much they don't want to let the run get cranked up against the Packers and it opens up the one-on-one matchups on the outside I love what Mike McCarthy does with his Playboy a lot of good play cars out there Sean Payton gets a lot of good club in being I don't know that there's any better designer of all fences [Music] [Applause] brant carries inside 232 the 29-yard line that'll be a gain of six fourth quarter is when you get a whole dose of James Starks two weeks ago in that win against Minnesota and Green Bay got the ball needing a drive to went out the clock and IC win it's six carries 55 yard and a large chunk over a third of his rushing yards on the year of coming to both [Applause] and that has been that you can criticize the Packer offense for anything it would be that they haven't got the kind of personality or personnel to be a physical down the whole run team when they've got the game uncontrolled to chew up the clock they want to do that we're seeing adhere that they can continue to be this type of downhill running with the facts they have they're adding another dimension as though they need another one for this offense that Mike McCarthy would love to see happen he's a little trust [Applause] when we say touchdown to check down he knew right now based on the coverage look I got one of those touchdowns you cannot throw a ball more accurately than this absolutely perfect it's third touchdown pass of a day third touchdown pass of the season the 20th game in his career he's had three touchdowns and more [Applause] he's had seven different receivers in the game today first time he's found Jones all day and sits go up on the board league's MVP London the first eight weeks of this season we get to notice back your team a little bit there's a whole lot of ribbon going on on that sideline you know you were playing today good to see you here for 13 minutes to play today's game is sponsored by Chevrolet and their award-winning cars trucks and crossovers by loves Lowe's never stop improving and by Subway restaurants get your own subway steak melt today 38:24 rains and fun but nearly an entire quarter to be played here in San Diego man Rogers was telling us two weeks ago that everybody wants to make a big deal about what receivers not [Applause] [Music] but it is a close-knit group we'll watch right here we talked about this group being together for a while watch on the right side here Aaron Rodgers with his hand signals that say you do this I do there wasn't a lot there but it certainly meant something because it led to a touchdown they've been together for four or five six years they think the same way they act the same way and don't think for a minute these guys don't appreciate what they have in Aaron Rodgers [Applause] second out of two by desmond bishop Teta skies become a major force for the Packers on defense and he's much more comfortable doing this than when we saw him trying to cover Antonio Gates they bring the corner as well and you can't hold him out this long nice job setting up the tackle dippin underneath now he's a little bit different mood than we saw earlier yeah let me do that I'm much better at coming at the quarterback than trying to size up to the Pro Bowl tight in [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 3:9 was [Music] and clearly Rivers was a little concerned about where he was on the field of crossing a line of scrimmage and looked like poor thrown let's send it back to Curt Menefee in Los Angeles for a game break New England picked off Eli Manning in the end zone and then with 80 yards for the score Aaron Hernandez from Tom Brady is just like that it's all even at 10 in the fourth quarter Tom and boy not sure with that dances by your buddy [Applause] English word out first punt of the game he's deaf to the 32 each other they appreciate each other why would you go there Anna Rogers lead the charge [Music] 11:31 deploy here in the final quarter from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego greatly at 38 24 lead and a Packers have the Football Club face [Applause] [Music] 93-yard touchdown against st. Louis early in the year is going to go down here to the strong side this this go this some people look good just a lucky throw lucky bull this happens way to the unbelievable this guy's ability that's a long hold throw net outside the pod could kind of falling away Jordan Nelson act up one-on-one use this size [Applause] gosh every play it sounds like a book and sounds like we've tried to throw the dynamic vanillin coach there's a difference between talking about somebody and somebody earning it that's the word that's not used enough he's hurting rain baby with a ball at the San Diego four yard line after the 64 yard completion to that man Jordy Nelson [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we just ran out of real estate they're still Creek throat field was just one yard - not wide enough again always looking for the matchups here his go-to guy Finley nice safe throw no way Oliver at 511 is going to keep up with the 6'5 Finley always looking for the matchups that's what a good quarterback guys [Applause] by Aaron Rodgers his fourth touchdown pass of the afternoon and not that coverage by quittin jammer but I don't know how you stop this watch this on the outside you can see the two of them know right now where that bug is going to be strictly on the alignment of the corner am I going to put it to the back of the end zone or what about his shoulders what about his alignment tells me this thing's going to be on the back side and then you got to deliver then you got to pull it in they're having some fun now he look at that grin on his face he's been with some good ones he was here in the Brett Favre days loves Brett Favre but he knows her something special with Aaron Rodgers just coming in it again Raja's is a first quarterback [Music] 20 times to the seven-game here we are the 18 and areas 24 touchdown passes on the year and you talked a lot about coach throwing the receiver open looks at me and it's no one better than Aaron Rodgers hips drawing it in that space having the faith in your receivers to put the ball in places that only he can get it that takes more accurate throw than you would think but all these receivers are most of the path that kind of size comfortable in putting it only the spot they can and I'll tell you the faith they have in him they know he's never going to put him in a position put them in a position to get hurt he's never going to throw them into coverage he's never gonna throw them into an area where they might get blown up by a linebacker if they they know that wherever he puts the ball they're safe to go get it there so could you pass along with that quarterback rating would be for Aaron Rodgers today is that perfect good if it's anything less than perfect they should speak and want that thing up and here's my problem with the quarterback rating it doesn't include sacks and it does include big game or big big explosive plays so there are quarterbacks in this league that will purposely dump the ball off or I should say take a sack because it's better for their quarterback rating well that's terrible Aaron Rodgers I could just look at that and go you know what that Plus that Plus that that's pretty good [Applause] here in Rogers let's check in downstairs again with Laura Oakland add something to what Brian's talking about the faith that the receivers have an era because I talked to Donald Driver about that he played with Brett Favre for ten years and he said Brett's a gunslinger he just would chuck that ball up there and just have faith that we would bring it down I love Brett because he's prolonging my career we know he's not going to do that he's not reckless with us exactly what Brian said he's not leading us cross the middle he's not putting the ball between two players because he does not risk he does not risk our bodies and they say how much they appreciate that his one happy sideline was still 10 27 accord one two wins [Applause] naturally the first thing a lot of people want to start to talk about and Brian I love hearing your perspective on it you coached a fifteen and one team back during your coaching career and of course said this week Packers are on the cover of Sports Illustrated Aaron Rodgers in all is a shooting pool and the talk is already beginning fixin to the 44-yard line and you asked me other day about the talk about a nun bTW and I like would prefer me have to say said we're not going to talk about any of that stuff until we get to double-digit wins because now you're talking possible well that's the way to go about it you know the coaches mantra choice about the next game but you can tap into that energy about the perfect season get to the double-digit wins and at that point I promise you guys this is worth going after the 16 you know in a positive way [Applause] this Packer team is so intelligently built Tom Ted Thompson the general manager Mike McCarthy outstanding relationship they have a very clear vision of what they want this team to be made up of they're carrying five tight ends their combination of taking on the back end six seventh round draft choice body types outside linebacker rush line back the top tight end types they they've got a very clear vision of what we wanted musician there of one mind that way and I really appreciated most Ted Thompson believe me it was an organizational decision let Brett Favre go but you'll notice that Ted Thompson knew it was of no value to their part to get caught into that he took to hit to that even though with an organizational decision it's that type of relationship that has them [Applause] a big day for the rookie bits at Brown we drove down to San Diego State [Applause] getting a chance to get more snaps due to the entry of Malcolm Floyd and you can look at this so what's Dom Capers doing defensively why are they getting big chunks right now that slop is a fact [Applause] chunks of time [Applause] I'm Philip Rivers Leigh Matthews you know at some point now he's going to be a factor we've seen Bishop come from the outside now a graduation a familiar outside rush but Dom Capers back to my point earlier he doesn't worry about the numbers now a lot of defensive coordinators will tell you that but obviously it's very true with him whatever it takes to win yeah I'll give them the arts here no it won't help my stats or my ranking but if it helped us win the game that's exactly right we're gonna do [Applause] mr. Jackson - touchdown for sale to score games just a broken coverage here they needed you're going to see them bunch up and here way too flat there need to be a guy whether it's true mont williams or the safety work of deeper he jumped yeah you can see them turn to the safety right there look if I'm gonna jump the flat you should you got to take the deeper route okay or I'll take I'll take the deeper out but then you got to take the flat just a broken coverage there [Music] [Applause] rivers [Music] till 7:30 - to play a 45:31 grits Bailey [Applause] Daniel Stuckey retirees the the ball out-of-bounds once I think it was Jordy Nelson right back in here once he says he's manic in the clean swamp that he started go down he was trying to bat it out of bound they handle it the right way the front wave takes out the kickoff team and that leaves the one guy in behind he looks like he stumbled as he went to catch it and then just tried to bat it out of bounds once it didn't happen now did they cross every T and on every eye on that onside kick is a question ruling on the field is that the receiving team legally touched the ball it was recovered by the kicking team first down San Diego my dad had to go to the team you are go look like the dead and that's true that's the right process confirms one another what did we see did it go the distance when did the touching happen but you can see how easy it's got to get to the 45 it does it bounce then kick back up so here we go [Applause] [Music] the 42 yard line San Diego has all three timeouts left they like to save those until they get to one more Drive and this is different now we talked about Don capers being a little more passive time was on his side to score differential just seven minutes play this more straight up chicken [Music] he could have gotten out of balance to stop every second precious Indy right down to San Diego they've got plenty of time though simply because if they can score here you're talking about the one scored differential and they've got three timeouts typically you might have gone [Applause] [Music] [Applause] again we've seen a couple token carriages good idea who that's twice now Jackson's got the secondary to mom wins right now wondering what happened cuz he got turned around right after his deal all of a sudden one boys turned into a seven-point game first nice job of rivers stepping up into the pocket and you can see right here at the bottom Ramon Williams came flat for some reason the underneath route drew his attention and turned around and didn't realize or thought someone else was behind him to take Jackson [Applause] took them all of a minute and seven seconds to go 55 yards watch right here the outside coverage of come on Williams they're communicating right there something broke down then when he sees Jackson working out past him I don't know what drew his attention he can see the underneath here he rolls out as though he has to take that that's just miscommunication with the safety you got an outtake he's outside you took the problem you got two three time defense to do anything but let him March the light to the field he picked this one on [Applause] [Music] inside 15 yards of where this ball would sit standing in his own 15 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that ball up and very assistant way [Music] binding to Canada [Music] looking back depth to the game [Music] [Applause] walking's you're now in a head-to-head running down the field that's why the head charles woodson back here you need good sound judgment no one's gonna do it than Winston that nano this is just a track meet and Woodsen's got no protection no blocking in position we are throwing our first - you're gay - the ten-yard and the clock stops with 611 [Applause] this is where your faith in your quarterback Mike McCarthy on first down for my run to make good judgments because [Applause] Jennings nicely defended by Antoine Kasich coming in Brandon we still have five minutes to go but this is the biggest play of the game defensively for the San Diego Chargers [Applause] [Music] [Applause] what I mean by that is for tomorrow swimmer [Applause] who's gonna spend eternity at that play clock one before spending their second timeout well here in the month of November join the NFL's salute to service campaign daughter our nation's veterans and active servicemen and women nfl.com slash salute we can't thank those of you Adam who have served our serving and will serve for the greatest country in the world the United States of America we salute you we're soon huge naval influence here in the city of San Diego America's largest naval base city [Applause] where's football shout over to conclusion of this one the OT [Music] [Applause] to get the reception's to jennings this head disaster written on it once that ball bounces up with the safety behind it rogers knows right now I just missed it one better throw all game long charges should get this with great field position and clearly the emotion of this stadium as please by masking [Music] is he that's one of the acquisition Saturday night [Music] dude your dosa we live here on Fox the USC in ship of the world Saturday night 96 now to the printers between two interceptions in the first quarter that will return for touchdown seems to talk [Applause] badge navigates to the 34-yard ah rivers nine of 11 for a hundred and forty-one yards and two touchdowns here in his final quarter nice pickup watch the back come across to pick up the pressure actually it's a tight end in the backfield nice job of picking up the pressure of the Green Bay Packers lying through please time to get the ball [Applause] strannix drops cupboard well what a fine he s been took over for the injured Frank Zombo last year and became one of their better defenders started through the playoff front and in tradition the Super Bowl [Applause] we go his cupcakes [Music] coming and with 3:32 a decision now for north turner the s three timeouts left do you punt or do you go for it remember this is this is as good a third down or fourth down conversion team as there is in the league I think you put the faith in your offense I think it would be a lot to ask your defense to keep Aaron Rodgers two to three and out [Applause] where the the secret side [Applause] for the timing of this is you can see right here he knows where it's going kind of gets betrayed by gates pulling up looked like he was willing a stutter move there I'm not in Chad's interference defense a bunch of times first down Antonio Gates just pulled up Woodson's witness case one that just stopped how do i how am i supposed to stop running the guy pulled up on me that is HUGE what a good club don't you think when all's said and done at the end of the day sure technically it was so you feel sorry for Wilson but at the end the day yeah it's a penalty got [Applause] Olympic tackler and tiptoes out backwards after a gain of two yards [Applause] typical of a veteran ten-year veteran got to get out of balance and know we've got three timeouts but we may need them even though we're at and above three minutes [Applause] where's old minutes ago [Applause] that was screaming for intentional grounding fishes are gonna hunt a lot like rivers expected someone to write an outside move they had lake pressure he had to throw the ball up a little blind intentional grounding offense number 17 it's a ten-yard penalty from the previous spot see Washington Michigan someone's gonna be to the outside he was still within the pocket there is nothing there now good call by the officials that hurt now that back and that up certainly a field goal is not a factor here that's not what they're playing for they get penalized this isn't about [Applause] consecutive 25 yard line washing river's edge or exploiting the granite for dam and 17-7 Ackman Laura Turner will send his punt unit one of the fee of the 308 left in all three timeouts remain and the penalty dictated that this is just too too much to overcome with the three timeouts had he not had the three timeouts and he has the two-minute warning in his back pocket he's going to have to rely on his defense hopefully to cut them down deep and get the same assurance before [Applause] second straight blame they drive that will begin inside their own 10-yard line that's a brilliant rugby style pump that is so cold in the league right now watch the backward spin that's what happens that's what they're counting on it spinning backwards into the field of play they desperately need that three and out there in great field position for this and they've got the timeouts we're going to see these timeouts get pulled out as we progressed but you have to have a three and out stop absolutely absolutely particular since you're going to use these timeouts right [Applause] States to the 6-yard line and that'll be the first time out called by San Diego so two left to 52 Terim remaining it again we're some Packers coming in seven and OH for the fourth time in franchise history last time into the 1960s in will party at the helm the John F Kennedy our president the FDA was playing Chubby Checker had the number one hit in America and back-to-back titles for the Packers in 61 and 62 then they go back to back in 2010 and 2011 you know what I remember all that group on the left a little bit more that's what I knew the group needed no Chubby Checker got an adjusted be brave man believe that you'll know that song never say that [Applause] here's to be about the yard and a half maybe two yards short of a first down San Diego uses its second timeout one left for the Chargers clock stops with 245 left and this is playing out very well for the Packers and by that I mean they now have a very convertible third down they've got San Diego tune-up Turbots timeout here they're gonna bring up and the two-minute warning that's what this is all about right now how much time can I take off the clock before I have to give the ball give it all back to San Diego you throw it or run it in here on 32 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the secondary oh my goodness if this is against San Diego [Applause] that could have taken away a three it out we'll wait and see Jordy Nelson got run over late but the timing of that I'm gonna have to see it because I can't imagine he's outside the pocket it really comes down to the timing of when to be throw when did the contact happen police clapping Bogut's churches why anytime a quarterback pulls up you've got to know the folding coming from the back [Applause] Janice told you to San Diego 25 penalties in the two games leading into this one and that's a ninth penalty today Windjammer right here against Jordy Nelson hold hold right there that calling it early enough they saw that I saw that little shove down late couldn't imagine that that was going to be the call particularly the way the ball came out but it was the early holding that they caught one boy delivering the big hit to keep the drive alive [Applause] sparks up to the 21 Detroiters go ahead and take the time out now [Applause] sandy third time it's your final timeout so they get that timeout they'll get another timeout afternoon at the two minute and then if they're able to hold they would get the ball back roughly with about a minute and a half left in the game by the time you punted here's an interesting call yours put these on me our coach on my foot on you this is going to be a rock trail because then they're going to let it down in two minute warning they're gonna be third and maybe a medium but hopefully a short from the Green Bay standpoint Aaron Rodgers now if I convert in the first down games over charges are out of timeouts I'm under two minutes brother Aaron Rodgers slow the ball on a thousand four five but that's why we're standing up in [Applause] [Music] featured back what you see so frequently in the NF though were you getting 2530 carries a game but starts with a lot of promise a third down and two this will take us down to the two-minute warning okay let's never forget you don't have to tell a San Diego fan what happened last week in Kansas City it's a third down coming up well we've seen bad snaps we've seen fumbles after what happened to San Diego last league they'll open they can get one come their way when we come back [Music] [Applause] right now Greg Monette skis got to make a call do I stop the run or do I stop the pass can't do [Music] [Applause] we are coming up to standing [Applause] [Music] minute 43 a minute 42 they let this baby wind down another 20 seconds remain on the play clock for about a minute 13 is when this ball should be punished I wouldn't think they're going to take a penalty here because five more yards can make all the difference [Applause] because it's a ball we would like to send our thoughts and prayers to the producer our regular producer on this crew of course worked with John Mann and Pat Summerall for many many years the great Bob's dinner will be undergoing some major surgery later on this upcoming week and our thoughts and prayers are with them and father can't wait to have you back still expect her I know he's listened right now I still expected katika on Monday Bob [Applause] your system [Applause] and again no time outs remain for the charges [Applause] typically it's going to take a catch and run to get them set up for scoring position you're not Dom Capers and this Green Bay Packer defense is two veteran they're not going to or they're gonna make it very difficult anyway to think you're gonna get that huge bomb down probably something crossing in the middle of the field there's a lot of yards after the catch if we're going to get in position to court without [Applause] [Music] stop in the quad with 54 seconds this trig we talked about Aaron Rodgers now Philip Rivers this is pretty good rolling to your right pulling up under duress all the way across the field typically that gets you in trouble but right now you got to let this thing fly you go down with your boots on in this situation fifty-four seconds remain San Diego seven back receiving an attorney to land let's check in quickly back in Los Angeles with Curt Menefee New England took the lead with less than two minutes left for the Giants comeback helped by a pass interference call on Sergio Brown so its first and goal of the one-yard line Eli Manning to Jake Ballard miss the Giants ahead 24 2015 seconds to go trying to end the England's 20 game Coleman twins deuce Dublin Jake Ballard is the [Applause] j-dog 82 seven taking a chance level you're down to the final 45 tips you got to take a chance to avoid the shotgun at Glock continuing to run yeah as I said there's there's no bad decisions here you're you're you've been dealt a tough hand Philip Rivers he's gonna Orthodox throwing style to begin with is going to do anything he can the ultimate competitor that he is to get the ball sack there a little bit murder [Applause] [Music] came from the back judge Terence Mills standing all the way back in the 20-yard line and what's in most this is a tall order pass interference defense number 21 Molly place the castrato file automatic first cap contact at the top of the round you can see it right here the field would past the five yard marker you're fine you're fine but right here the porch the shoved the content you just can't do you can't have your hands on the guy past the five yards they're going to call that every time where his dad at the Green Bay 41 [Music] [Applause] we welcome those of you who just saw a thriller from Foxborough where the Patriots hold win streak comes to an end Eli Manning of the Giants rally late and that's what Philip Rivers in San Diego is trying to do against Green Bay was 45 to 24 at the beginning of his fourth quarter - losers [Applause] 20 seconds left second [Music] we shoot came [Applause] here today chill returned for touchdowns in the Packers and 14 seconds away from the year kind of a desperation throw for the situation I know the club down at second down under through it double coverage over the top of course that with plenty of time let's not let them talk [Applause] for the Green Bay Packers it longest winning streak in franchise history [Applause] there is no other year final score of 45 38 3 Bay there's ever a time where the old cliche is half the bow it's in this one too little too late for San Diego and the Packers March are halfway through the season they're upbeat back with more the moment [Music]
