2013 Week 13 - Broncos @ Chiefs

as the broncos and the chiefs are out to settle a whole lot of business here in the afc west coming in tied at nine and two as well as the overall number one position in the conference on the line here today hello friends jim nance along with super bowl mvp quarterback phil sims they met two weeks ago in denver broncos won it by 10 but the chiefs walked away saying you know what we can play with them that's right they gained some confidence in that game because they stayed in it and they made some big mistakes they think they've corrected them we'll find out if it makes a difference in the game this game is being broadcast in spanish we're available using the sap button on your television we were here a week ago when san diego came to town and beat the chiefs in a thriller and it's 31 degrees warmer today than it was last sunday both teams though coming off wrenching losses last sunday and denver after deferring winning the toss and wanting to kick and he's all the way out to the 31 where he's tripped up by quinton jammer alex smith had a big performance last sunday but they came up shorty through for almost 300 yards and three touchdowns good numbers on the season 14 and five was traded just after the super bowl last year a member of the 49ers lost out his starting job after being concussed kaepernick taking them to new orleans here's his line schwartz and stevenson they filled in last week and asamoah and fisher are healthy but they earned the chance to restart here today schwartz and stevenson on that right side and charles was over 100 last week coming out with bayley on the coverage bailey back in the lineup for the broncos pushes him out after a gain of nine malik jackson starts for derek wolfe who is ill after seizure-like symptoms yesterday or two days ago on the way to the denver airport he did not make the trip here obviously and there's champ bailey back in the lineup he's only been active really healthy for about a game and a half this entire season that foot though has mended and he's ready to go they threw in his direction on the first play on second and one smith working the hill and bayley again is the cover man but the completion goes to mcclusker and bailey already is gimpy after a seven yard pass play trying to throw it outside quick it's taken away he goes inside first intention tim bailey definitely grabs i don't know if his arm what what he hurts well it fell right on his left arm it looked like for his stomach but and he's uh down on one knee and replaced by quentin jammer smith connects on the first two plays of the game now they'll go with charles she's having a big season and charles butts heads and gets near a first down running behind brendan albert you sent it nice blocking brandon albert on the outside watch jamal charles how he hugs the block as he goes around the corner right it just stinks inside by brandon albert and that way webster number 36 cannot make the tackle i'd stay close to a big guy too get some protection beautiful run by jamal charles and by the way that is dominique rogers comarti who is out with a shoulder injury suffered in the game at new england last week so webster's in for him jammering for bailey knocked out charles down to the denver 40. charles second in the nfl and scrimmage yards only man with more the sean mccoy of the eagles he could have his thousand yards here in the 12th game of the season 53 catches that's the most on this team and 10 total touchdowns well let's see the denver broncos they what's the key to this kansas city offense one two and three it's jamal charles if he has a big day you're in trouble on first down it's charles again up the gut for four trevathan will back him up 10 yards 71 is a left guard you know you look at the interior defense for this broncos defense as you look at them you got to remember kevin vickerson great run stopper is out of there they started mitch unright today they're going to just rotate a bunch of defensive lineman through that lineup wood yard to the sideline but bailey is back in and there you see paris linen taking over the middle linebacker spot for woodyard on this play first and 20. who just come into the game usually their third team running back behind nile davis who backs up charles and that's a seven yard play second and thirteen well we had a chance to talk to andy reid and alex smith jim and i think they both said alex smith andy reed believes he understands these players now more comfortable with them and that's why he's being more aggressive with the football going down the field and andy reid said no doubt about it in my play calling i'm being more aggressive because you need big plays to win in the nfl second and 13. and the completion for a short game goes to aj jenkins just his third catch of the season the former first round pick a year ago of the 49ers tackled by chris harris jr now the one thing you play kansas city or andy reid's teams even in philadelphia short passes a lot in certain situations to help the third down completion a little easier and you always have to be alert for screens no matter what the down and situation is third and seven takes it to the 13. they talked about it we need to get dwayne beau number 82 in the slide going up the field and he fights through the coverage and that's the one thing about dwayne beau he is one of those receivers that can win the contact contest he can catch it with people around him and if you try to cover him too tight he'll shed you off how about that arm over throws chris harris right to the ground that picks up 24. and from the 13 it's charles shits down close to the 10. an impressive start here by the chiefs with his first possession don't forget denver turned it down gave it to the kansas city chiefs that's really the rule that most teams are taking now jim why especially when you have a really good quarterback try to get the ball at the end of the first half and start the second half with a chance to double up that's what they all love to do around the league and that's what yep jack del rio hopes for in his final game as the interim coach before john fox returns tomorrow to the facility second and eight and smith down to the two as that facade was tied in and again bayley is shaken up on the collision it's first and goal to go for the chiefs you gotta just drive it in there sometimes the coverage is good on the outside this is a big tight end and champ bailey cannot fight through anthony fasano we saw it last week alex smith threw a touchdown to dwayne bow in tight coverage that play reminded me of it just right to the body nothing the defense can do what a drive what a drive smith six for six on the drive bailey back out first and goal six linemen in osamoa joins them they fake to charles rolling out smith back to the end zone intercepted by one yard in the end zone he was hoping to hit posado who had taken him down to the two but smith's first first half interception throne of the season the captain of that denver defense woodyard with his first interception of the season fifth of his career and the touch back denver's first snap from the 20. play action and manning hits in stride demaryius thomas for 13. what happened on the pick well let's look at it real quick familiar play in the flat back of the end zone here he comes across nobody covers anthony fasano top of your screen but what a recovery alex smith never saw woodyard and that's why the football was intercepted i thought first down he was gonna run it probably get it to the one but he chose to throw it and here is no sean moreno who gets the start after being in a boot much of the week and on crutches after spraining an ankle and that brilliant performance he had at new england peyton one touchdown pass to tie his franchise record set last year 37 in the season and again moreno is in there no julius thomas inactive that knee still not ready to go second down it's welcome slashing over to the kansas city side of the field for a gain of 18. good protection got to tom peyton manning is going to throw this across the middle of the field to welker against brandon flowers that extra time let west welker separate if they play a defense to protect against the pass peyton manning's not always going to run today he's gonna throw it also here is moreno and he was contacted early picks up only a yard the line includes chris clark who's gone most of the season now with clady injured earlier in the year and he'll see a bunch of tombahali today and again moreno off his career performance 224 on 37 rushes now when they played two weeks ago he had 27 rush attempts against the chiefs fake to him here on second and nine and barry coming in our manning forces the incompletion and dex peyton they never hit him once when they played two weeks ago yeah they were close quite a few times and there's the guy that was close eric barry playing inside like a linebacker just so fast there was no way for zane beatles to get there they're trying to figure out what could they do differently this time well hit the ground at least a couple of times eric barry was closer to the line of scrimmage that's why he got there third down and nine and payton now guns it down the field and it is on his back with the interception is quentin demps the pass was intended for demarius thomas so that's the kansas city defense that we saw the first nine weeks of the season matching interceptions here in the first quarter alex smith had not thrown a first half interception all season he throws one right back payton throws his first first quarter interception of the season tremendous play on that last possession quentin nips the safety came all the way across the field peyton manning did not seem that's one of the reasons why he got the interception and on first and ten is charles and he's tripped up as he was trying to hop past his right tackle stevenson picks up two and again it was just two weeks ago oddly enough this used to happen way more often back in the days when you were playing you'd see a divisional opponent yeah maybe twice in three weeks fan hated it and here's what happened costly fumble there by sherman jammer recovering and then on the next drive thomas scored on a nine yard touchdown and ante ball scored uh a couple of rushing touchdowns in a 27-17 victory good play that last play mitch unwind stopped probably a big 10 yard gain by being stevenson second and eight and it's charles and very nearly had the ball stripped as webster was in on him but he holds on for 15. yeah this defense they got some speed they'll try to do it watch you come out and come under look at that open hole nice play design and i don't know if you've been everybody's been complaining all year i'm one of those guys too not exemplifying myself or exhibiting myself about this chief's offense but the last three weeks it has a different mentality a different look and even the bronco coaches says yes there they are letting it go down a nice block by junior hemingway the wide out on that left side that's a gain of 15 more back-to-back 15-yard plays by charles fantasy football fans you want a fresh start get involved with the player challenge win some cash all the rules are at cbsports.com well when you see junior and hemingway number 88 come in the game you have to say most likely going to be a run a lot of times they run to his side because he is an excellent blocker for a wide receiver he's only caught four balls on the season well he knows his role and does it well now davis now in the backfield they fake to him on first down smith now buying time to take it off and he can do this he's gotta win the first one at the denver 37 he's rushed for over 300 yards this season this time it was mccluster who helped give him a key block yeah excellent job this defense we talked about it stop the screens trevathan comes up and tackles davis but the one thing about alex smith we've heard it from a couple defensive guys and coach is already much faster than you think and when you forcing the run he can get it done hey average is over five yards of a rush there you see it that was good for and thirteen him to the secondary before adams is able to wrestle him down does the draw play it's called lead in other words the fullback sherman up in the front of the running back watch his block and then a beautiful block i mean a beautiful cut by davis that time that's davis's longest carry of the season it went for 20. really nice block two by schwartz the right guard you said that they're in there starting today the right guard and right tackle because of how well they played last week already with eight first downs having no trouble moving the football in the red zone once again backed up is jamal charles you can actually give him a yard you know on that pass by payton he was trying to hit demaryius thomas and thomas was shaken up saw a brief glimpse of him on the bench and now they're reporting that it's a shoulder and he's questionable to return big that's a big we talked about how he's never involved in the passing game and he has the touchdown for the chiefs what a job by alex smith standing in there and waiting for the play to happen that's a pretty good catch too reached up with his hands the bunch route he fakes it out just goes around he is nacho did not expect him to go down the field usually that inside guy hooks up all the time about 8 to 10 yards not that time good play call only his fifth reception of the year and it goes for a score the seventh different chief to catch a pass in his opening quarter and suck-ups extra point is good well kansas city marching up and down the field they got to the two the first time before being picked this time they have six december first day here hope you've had a wonderful holiday weekend for those important to you so seven nothing here kansas city and right you are phil so much more innovative for the chiefs offensively than what we saw the first half the season a couple reasons why they're getting better pass protection too helps the play caller and the quarterback trending sherman rides him down alex smith to the man they took in the seventh round a year ago out of michigan hemingway with a touchdown for kansas city you see andre caldwell number 12 split wide to the right as demaryius thomas is not out there injuring a shoulder on that first series here's peyton on first down and traffic that pass is knocked down by kendrick lewis he was going for joel driessen this kansas city defense stepping up so far after getting scorched the last couple of weeks devito who've been out with a knee gets the start for houston who is inactive with the elbow injury but holly is up even with the tinder ankle and eric barry very strong presence at strong safety there was a holding call on that last snap against them think about what's out the lila de various thomas julius thomas that's a lot of speed that goes off the field for this denver offense so the chiefs take the penalty and it's back at the 10-yard line first and 20. and manning with more pressure on him able to get in the way of caldwell and he's got a chief defender derrick johnson on him right away holding it to a four-yard game you talk to this kansas city to the team the coaches whatever the crossing routes the last two weeks have just crushed his defense bob sutton of course when you're a coordinator of coach and somebody makes a middle mistake that will that makes you much more upset if they make a physical mistake we'll see if they corrected it here today on second and 16th set up a screen for moreno and he's got room he's got a first down got blockers out in front and all the way to midfield manny ramirez and zane beatles running out there leading the way for 34. you just can't get caught off guard if you're the defense against this type of thing because the probably the number one play for the different broncos is all the screens to the running backs and wide receivers second in law first as long second and long you've got to expect a screen play ball in the backfield and he gets to handle he had a couple of rush touchdowns in the first matchup against kansas city and he's got a gain of five and we have the millers coming your way tv's number one new comedy thursday after the big bang theory only cbs i think the broncos want to get back to the offense they've had most of the year that is attack be aggressive into play calls ball again and johnson and on the hit for only a yard peyton manning since coming to denver a year ago has not lost a division game 9-0 inside the afc west 23 touchdowns and now five interceptions with the one earlier today by quentin demps facing a third and four jacob tammy wide to the right good time what a hit by johnson flowers there too the spot very close derek johnson's the free man inside he's the rover or the rat whatever you want to call him that's why he was there to make the hit and they have moved the chains as the quarter ends kansas city 7-0 you're watching the nfl on cbs and there is jack del rio fourth game as the interim coach he was a linebacker here briefly for the chiefs in the late 80s got married here in kansas city and actually although he's always remembered as being a usc trojan he graduated from kansas in the offseason when he was a member of the chiefs here's burst intend to start the second quarter and manning 41 yards to open the corner well they want to get back to being aggressive that's the team they are watch the play action fake nobody deep in the middle of the field to help flowers against decker that's not a blown assignment that's just a great job by decker beating brandon flowers he waited to the last second to get that right arm to to shield or push off and got enough separation perfect throw by peyton manning well remember they had first and 20 back at their own 11 the big screen play the moreno and then the 41-yard touchdown to deckard that's 37 now on the year for manning tying his franchise mark of the year ago and decker falls in his fourth score of the season to tie him at seven eric decker has just broken brandon marshall's denver franchise record for most touchdown catches first four years as a bronco and payton again with 37 now on the season now davis is the return man he decides to bring it out from seven he's got carver after him and he skips past him for the 107 yard kickoff return he's coming forward as he catches the football and there's not much movement it is the decision determined and the power and speed that's why he gets by him i thought he was going to lose his balance a little bit but how about davis the speed even though a couple guys had the angle he still right up to the end zone just his fourth kick return of the season for some reason demps was not the deep man dempsey had a big return game last week suck up with the extra point it's officially 108 yards it's the longest play in chief's history a rookie from arkansas drafted in the third round electrifying 108 yards against the denver team that doesn't have to really cover that many kicks right because crater plus you factor in the rarefied air of denver had only had 20 kicks returned this year out of 80. and now back deep it's not holiday he was shaken up earlier it's caldwell for the broncos and caldwell is twisted down by hemingway at the 21. i think it what really makes it work is just a determination and just no movement just little weaves and just runs through two tackles because he was not trying to slow down and pick his way boy outraged brewton and then carter tried to get the angle and he just blew by a ball and look at alex smith ball in hand yeah andy demaryus thomas is on the field on the near side in fact as that ball was being run back for the touchdown he was emerging from the locker room and onto the field moreno plows ahead for three denver offense a little here today first off peyton manning has a glove only on his right hand and he said he was probably going to go with it those are fitted gloves because he threw with it during the week and even in that cold weather in new england he was really happy with the way it felt so he figures he might have to use it for the rest of the year likes to break him in for two or three days during practice saving for the game second and seven moreno again and he somersaults for no gain it's derek johnson is in on a lot of plays at the start of this game but i think the big thing is when you look at last week's game yes they ran the football absolutely they ran it great against new england but it took the rhythm away from the offense it took it away from peyton manning and the wide receivers did not get involved so today good effort conscious effort to get some of these guys off to a quick start and i mentioned derek johnson we met with him yesterday he says you gotta have a short-term memory in this league after the loss to san diego felt good about their chances rebounding today third and seventh ball locked it to the sideline and and this time it's cooper marcus cooper still on his feet and finally meets two broncos at the 21 including orlando franklin now they've tried to pick on cooper the last couple times for the last couple games and denver did in denver they switch it they're trying to go up the sideline it's just not a good throw by peyton manning the football hangs it's way under thrown and marcus cooper ready to protect deep down the field oh not a nice job looks in the backfield sees it and the first one to react to the football manning with two interceptions just 15 take it 17 minutes into this game and cooper the rookie out of rutgers as his third interception of the season and the chiefs take over at the 22 of denver fake to charles looking down the middle now a second option and it's over his head he had harris on him trying to throw it down the middle that time to anthony fasano for the touchdown but a really good no throw by alex smith pulls off of it and gives his tight end a chance or the wide receiver on the other side of the field vasano wide right mcclusker in a slot to the right hemingway hemingway they announced mccluster here but it's hemingway and he's got nine when in doubt double 58 that's what they did that's why alex smith had some extra time to throw the football you can't do it every play but when you get a chance the most dangerous person on denver's defense without question is von miller hurry to the line gotta get about a foot for the first third down good play call that time they had all the meat in the middle the three big guys so they kind of go off tackle watch the pull the kick out and follow the big guy that's what he does that's why he gets the first down be first and goal from the eight some bad drawing by me on that last play send you back to artistry well it's a big game so i'm getting off to a slow start they went to beau a week ago in the red zone and it worked he out wrestled a defender last week and this week ileal formation offense number 74 reporter is an eligible receiver but was covered by the wide receiver five yard penalty first down take it off the board jeff schwartz they got him on what sounds like a technicality but he had reported but then had a receiver in a wrong formation with him 74 here he is so he's eligible on the line of scrimmage on the line of scrimmage that is illegal so that is the wide receive the quarterback wide receiver that's who you got to go to you can't blame him i promise you i think jeff schwartz lined up in the right spot first and goal at the third team charles who started today for kevin vickerson who had to go down on ir because of a hip injury that was a big loss for them and then on top of it derek wolf mentioned it earlier on the way to the airport on friday just uh seizure-like symptoms and rushed to a denver hospital where i understand john fox visited him earlier today he did glad to hear he's doing better and the good thing denver does have a lot of depth in defensive line second and goal from the 12. smith ends up with the touchdown basano stuck up that left hand got a paw on it and pulled it in for the score left side goes right down the middle again good protection perfect trajectory on the throw four weeks ago you saw none of this they did not make the tough catches his kansas city offense but they're getting used to it the practice the throwing in the games and now they're making contested and some excellent catches when the chances come the only way you can get better jim is to try it in the game and they've been throwing it in the game more and the players are starting to get good at it suck-up makes it 21-7 two touchdowns off denver giveaways the cooper interception and fasano with a touchdown for the third straight game we've had 28 points scored in the last six minutes and 44 seconds 21 of them by the chiefs suck up kick to the three to caldwell he would not return the kick before today since 2010 when he was a member well you know jim think of bengals sorry about that but think about this denver team they played it home two weeks ago emotional game against his kansas city night game they traveled to new england goes into overtime and now you gotta find a way to get that energy for the third straight week to compete against this crowd and a team that we could see that is really fired up the tackle on the kick was made by junior hemingway who's had two tackles plus the game's first touchdown on a pass from alex smith moreno behind manning gets the carry and he's got room to operate he's got a gain of 13. well that time it was a pass defense everybody back so peyton manning checks to the right play that left left side zane beatles and manny ramirez the center of the double team this this whole offensive line when they put two guys on one they can drive them down the field and the runner can pick up big yards moreno again and he is crumbled after a gain of two tombaha-lee along with derek johnson thursday on cbs elementary discover a new episode thursday at 10 9 central only cbs look at moreno all taped up that's manning actually manning with the ankle issues of course of his own as he comes over for virgil green what a tackle that time by demps i want to get back to moreno this was something all week long they wondered on the denver side would they have him because he had 37 carries 224 against new england left on crutches in a boot early week and he's been really kind of the unsung hero for them this year oh he definitely has from the start of the year been determined peyton manning says i love the guy his passion to play and knowing his job he does both very well third and six pass should have been caught it was thomas had his hands on it but peyton is seeing more pressure than he did two weeks ago by far comes from the outside but he has plenty of time to make this throw is the coverage down the field was very good sean smith put it in position where peyton manning's got to throw a perfect pass to get this completion first punt of the game coming up by britain colquitt whose brother dustin punts for the kansas city chiefs written here the younger brother of the two by almost three years lofts one way up in the air mccluster why does he field it at the three see it every week why do you do that immediately knocked down by omar bolden who had it covered up 54-yard punt chiefs are fortunate that this didn't lead to a fumble well the chiefs are backed up look at mccluster and you said you see it every week oh it's an epidemic in the league i don't know why the rule use the unwritten rule five yard line let it bounce it's going to go in the end zone that was inside the five-yard line from the three safe pass sherman incomplete incomplete we've got an update let's send it back to new york to you james brown phillip rivers continuing his hot play tied this ball game up jb watch to play fake 30 yard touchdown pass to ladarius green knotted up 7-7 904 left in the first half back to jim nance bill simms all righty thank you guys thank you shannon and uh he can run that ladarius green kind of like shannon sharp used to he had a 60-yard touchdown score in the game here last week charles well the chiefs one thing they are doing now is catching the contested throws how about they catch by hemingway this didn't count but still reaches back dwayne bowe and gets it and then the one hand he catch by casano what a difference plate calling the performance of this the throwing and catching by the chiefs it's the difference we've seen in this team the last three weeks kind of a big third down here for this denver defense the down two scores over the side race for the first down yardage and the spot is short by a yard it's a pretty big play so if it looks like it's close this is one of those situations where if you're aiming to read maybe you challenge foot's not out of bounds and i wouldn't challenge but andy reid's thinking about it and he grabs hold of it and with a bronco defender injured david bruton reid may get another look at a replay or two reid was looking at the big board wasn't he oh yeah he kept looking he wanted a reason to challenge his call but it has to be clear and when you look at the evidence you've got to get to the 13. it's truly the 13th foots in crosses at 12 that football is out of bounds before the 13-yard line and it's out about there so it's short that's where brute got shaken up and reed was eyeing it and he elects to go ahead and punch and not waste a challenge here he's not going to win that one cole quit dustin kolk to wes welker i mentioned holiday was bruised up earlier in this game shoulder questionable and of course welker had that uh this happened over time at new england backs up the field this one and he is covered up right away and again it's hemingway with his third special teams tackle 58-yard beauty by dustin colquitt well next saturday is the sec championship on cbs missouri and auburn long quest gary danielson tracy wilson and our great team what a job they did yesterday covering auburn alabama also utah state fresno state next saturday night for the mountain west championship just an incredible one of the all-time epic finishes yesterday they had it covered it beautifully and here with the first and ten is manning as moreno is knocked back for a loss of two they might put eric barry at linebacker the way he's playing so far today look at those possessions by the denver broncos that game last night was so good you couldn't even watch any more college football you said that just took all the fun out of the rest of the night i swear it did i said i've had it that game just emotionally everything about it was so spectacular hard nothing could follow it up that was for sure but scc title game next week second and twelfth as man who makes a little spin hook move to pick up the first before cooper drops him gain a 13. well they've been wanting to get eric decker started again and when you stack receivers this is what can happen you lose sight of who's behind you that time kendrick lewis jumped the short route peyton manning took decker on the curve hole after a gain of two the difference in some teams when they played denver you don't have a guy like 92 the ontario pole to stop runs gets off the block even though it's purely a pass defense none of them guys up there to stop the run sometimes but pohl derrick johnson and eric barry cover up for the lack of people up there second and eight inside six minutes first half over again decker aware where he needs to go for that first he tried to get there stop about a foot short third and a foot it's ball first down and the rookie from wisconsin takes it to the kansas city 45. he's had issues holding on to the football after coughing it up only twice in his entire decorated career for the badgers where he scored 83 touchdowns had a crucial fumble in the second half at new england last week yeah i think they're still mad about that play maybe not the fumble that they called at the screenplay just wasn't aggressive though again down the field and down to the two we got a flag back at the 35. looked like a double move that time by eric decker part of the pass holding defense number thirty five well this is always what you have to look for when you're playing peyton manning if you get too close on certain coverages they're going to come up with a double move and that time deckard just wanted the line of scrimmage he was stronger than cooper got by him and that little weed gave him more separation decker with a 41-yard touchdown and a 42-yard reception that sets up first and goal with the three is looking in decker's direction again no flag got tripped up with cooper decker and cooper let's be an alert it is tough to play defense nice fake inside that's where you run a lot of short routes on the goal line and cooper gets away with the hold now ball scored two touchdowns in situations like this against kansas city two weeks ago he's the running back and they're gonna check out it looks like a blitz so peyton manning was probably gonna call a pick let's see if kansas city changed the defense on second and goal looking looking back to the end zone and just throws it away welker was in the back of the end zone some coverage that is three one-on-ones that is tough to do they have so many different routes welker goes to the back but watch the first two defense stays with the call the whole time nobody got open now it's moreno at running back flanking on third and goal moreno is the target he's got it and he is across for the touchdown they just couldn't get out there to cover him they're not fooled what's the coverage coming from the inside oh they get hit nobody gets out there they try to pass it off sean smith was the defender over on that side but moreno makes it to the end zone for the score and peyton now establishing a new denver standard touchdown passes in the season his 38th crater good on the extra point all set up by the long throw down the field to decker it ends on third and goal with manning to moreno and the chief's lead is trimmed to seven moreno now with 11 touchdowns on the year 9 on the ground that's the second catch for a score and payton up to 182 yards in this first half two touches two picks and it's davis who ran the last one back from 108 and he's eight deep this time nothing doing he's dragged down by jacob tammy by the way it's during the national anthem you talked about the intensity of moreno payton talked to us about it mike arnold our director lance barrow producer happened to catch this just as the anthem ended with moreno on the denver sideline first city from the chief's 14-yard line well it's a big game emotional big game by moreno last week and you're not sure if he's going to get a chance to play here today and he showed his determination on that catch and scoring on that last round of the broncos through the lens of mike agar capture head first and 10. as offensive line for the kansas city chiefs they look aggressive i know they're a little depleted on the defensive side for denver but jamal charles not quite not pit or padding with those feet taking it hard up into that line of scrimmage and getting those extra yards big drive i think for this kansas city offense right here find a way to get some first downs and if nothing else take away the opportunity for faith manager to drive down and score again each team fully loaded with timeouts and now the first ones used by the chiefs the second and four coming up out of the break and kansas city leading at 21-14 again we're back with the afc west lead on the line a pair of nine and two teams second and four for the chiefs on the ground tried to dive on it it was charles who coughed it up phillip stripped it stays with kansas city and the big tight end was able to wrestle it away fasano third down and five from the kansas city 19 yard line oh he hit his own guy i was trying to see where the who stripped it out as he was falling hit the back leg phillips in the area stevenson yes that's what caused the pump sets up third and five pressure on smith rolls away from it and now still able to wiggle free and he is tackled finally finishes it off a lot of speed on denver's defense von miller on the ground they got four receivers to the right of alex smith nobody is open good job escaping trouble but everybody on the defense keeps hustling and they stopping short of the first down see what happens here to vaughn miller he might have gotten tangled with one of his own teammates as he ducks under phillips does smith yeah there was a collision here terrence knighton his teammate on him and now miller is able to jog off the field a far quieter first half than the first half miller had last week in new england yeah no question good good job of pass blocking so far for this kansas city offensive line but that was excellent that formation those are so hard to cover when you're playing that man-to-man everybody bunts together and denver sorted it out got it done and kansas city is going to let this run all the way down to the two-minute warning but denver will be getting the punt and have all three timeouts left two straight three and outs by the chiefs we're coming out of the two-minute warning with colquitt dustin colquitt that would be about to punt it to welker stands back at his own 32. chiefs had 11 first downs the first couple of possessions but a couple of straight three and outs and that one's off the side of the foot picked up on the hot by welker who dives down at the 40 and this is precisely the situation that you drew up at the start of the game when denver decided to defer try to get the ball at the end of the first half and receive the second half kickoff well you can understand why you like your chances when you have peyton manning on the offensive side but i think what we've seen here so far today both offenses being very aggressive looking for opportunities to throw the football down the field you know peyton's not trying to really get into the perfect plays all the time he's looking for ways to get double moves or a defense so we can throw it over the top manning the first down and it was almost a second interception for cooper it was over his head too the verizon halftime report is coming up shortly with jb dan shannon boomer and coach cower all the scores and highlights and cincinnati san diego game going on right now they'll update us on that and all the other action here on a very busy week 13. second and ten manning that one didn't come out of the hand cleanly as he had chiefs in the area when he released it yeah it definitely came out the side of his hand i think what happened he got his body going down the middle expecting to throw the under route but they but they do it so much this doesn't come out clean maybe that's a good thing because the coverage was excellent well they have the all-time record when it comes to a stadium metered decibel reading of 137.5 that happened a few weeks back here's the third and ten and again the pressure forces the incompletion has intended for welker just when you thought the broncos might be ready to do something before the end of the half they have their own three and out they just get a little bit of a push and they look again manning off balanced on terry poe great against the run can push to pocket two good athlete who's big and having an outstanding day so far britain quit now the brothers out of knoxville tennessee and the university of tennessee this one comes up outside the 20 where mccuster makes the fair catch 38-yard boot there are the guys back in the studio in new york getting set to update you with all the scores and highlights a lot of good-looking suits there isn't it yeah yeah it's a lot of money so they probably get them free though you know when you're a star you get stuff for free don't you see the wardrobe credits at the end of the day your name's not on there mine's not on there but there's rightfully last two drives two three and outs this is a gift for the chiefs they still have two timeouts with 128 and those two timeouts shotgun because they didn't expect to get it that's right vaughn miller is back out there after being shaken up and there was pressure that forced the puck it's trevathan with the interception and a flag is down miller was the one who was in on spit harder pass holding defense number 25 five yard penalty automatic first down that's why i was intercepted the inside receiver trying to break out chris harris always has to play the slot guy tough position to play 25 here it is dwayne bowe is gonna break out and how about miller after just a few minutes ago slow to get up and he was close to getting to smith but the penalty brings it out to the 27 in the first down smith's got all kinds of room got the first down across the 40 the 50. and sidesteps out of bounds at the 47 of denver that's good for 26. you know your protection is good when you look down the field and nobody's open and he backtracks a little i love this back up a little now he sees the running lane and danny trevathan the ass linebacker trust me not able to track him down and that's the longest play of the game for the chief from scrimmage 26 yards smith sets them up at the denver 47 steps out of bounds so the clock stopped at 112 and again two timeouts fake to charles and now a throwaway was the one who helped force the the throw away by smith and now a flag comes out they're going to get him for why intentional ground potential grounding offense number 11. didn't get out of the pocket do you think he was out of the box well i thought he was it's a little bit of a bootleg here's the pocket line the right side the right tackle and he's definitely outside of it yeah it's out of the box he's out of the inside the hash marks but it's it was close close and backed up to the 43 and a loss it down so if you're terry mccauley you're back there you can tell he's behind the center not a lot of movement that's why he calls it second and twenty protection now i know that von miller hit him on the first play but overall it's outstanding they're blitzing they're trying some different blitzes and they are picking them up and giving alex smith time and now the chiefs call timeout at 45 seconds let's watch it who comes on the blitz here we go trying to cross it up i missed the drawing but he had the extra time to find sherman out in the flats keeps down the one timeout third and 12 coming up they had about another 20 seconds on the play clock thing you got to be careful of here is if you throw it in completion you got denver getting the football back on a punt and still with three timeouts to go yeah but they're going to be backed up and not a lot of time left i don't i wouldn't be you never know touch back you know no i understand peyton say 30 seconds and three timeouts from his own 20. history tells us always be careful in those kind of statements but third and 12 here you try to pick this first down up and if it's incomplete don't worry about the clock diving catch mccluster and he got to his feet because he had not been touched but then quickly put back down by bailey two-yard gain and there's a time-out call by denver denver with 35 seconds well ate up a little that time jim and also it made the denver broncos use one timeout to make it a little tougher on peyton manning if they do want to try to be aggressive and get in position for a field goal one thing that's timber broncos defense now these last three series got a pretty good view up here right at the 50-yard line they are not getting open down the field the defensive backs have played very well since those first couple drives where they couldn't cover them so dustin colquitt will try to be careful here because at denver in the matchup he had three punts that ended up going into the end zone for touchbacks and that's not what they want here with 35 seconds set up time for payton with two timeouts to do something good hang time bounces at the 11. there you go it's a really good kick but don't touch it let it hit the ground and roll around just yeah take more time always know the situation i know it's being a little petty but again this is not a normal offense we're looking at when you see the denver broncos so the ball will be at the 12 yard line with 25 seconds two backs three wides running play with a ball that's what you expect them draw a screen they help you get a big game doesn't happen you get the football to start the second half so don't even don't even risk it and take a chance exciting first half here that included a couple of manning touchdown passes 108 yard kickoff return for a touchdown by nyle davis of the chiefs the chiefs lead it by seven halftime at arrowhead with the score kansas city 21 and denver 14. we'll be back with the verizon halftime report after this message and a word from your local station you're watching the nfl on cbs there's your score chiefs lead it 21-14 alex smith with a couple of touchdown passes won the pisano one to hemingway in a very exciting first half here sights and sounds at arrowhead football like you've never heard it presented to you by sonus so suck up we'll put it on a t and send it down the way to andre caldwell again holiday return a kick in that first quarter and bruise the shoulder we have not seen him again we were told questionable so remains out no return opportunity here for caldwell and let's get to the third quarter now peyton and the broncos coming out what are you looking for here well i think i'm looking for which defense can find a way to really pressure the other team's quarterback all these big von miller tom bahali we didn't know if he was going to play he's been in the lineup all day but neither one really getting to the quarterback and causing havoc where they can make a mistake throwing the football down the field demarius thomas sent wide to the left he had an early catch missed some time with a shoulder injury and then returned but he has come up every week it seems with big second half performances moreno caught a touchdown dropped for a loss of one it was poe who hit him first here's your first half summary manning 182 couple of touchdowns smith 132 and a couple of scores some really good plays down the field by both quarterbacks and i think they'll here in the second half they're going to look for ways to to get those big plays explosive passes down the field that's how you win big games and i would consider this a really big game second and 11. and that's incomplete looking for thomas on the ground you know we heard that from both teams coming into this game today alex smith said it to us andy reid gave me a lecture on it uh about hey you got to get it down the field make these big passes that's what this league is about uh like playoff football and we heard the broncos say the same thing to us third and 11. blitzing gets it away and a diving catch by welker well they picked up the blitz didn't they gains 20. they sure did what a job by no sean moreno and a nice throw by peyton manning just so good at sidestepping and keeping his eyes down the field knew what he had and wes welker just outruns the coverage that's secondary for the chief starting out this half with hussein abdullah instead of kendrick lewis at free safety that pass puts manning over 200 yards for the game and he goes the ball straight ahead for 12. got a block by virgil green to put it on the kansas city side of the field number 85 virgil green he had a terrific job last week to the right there blocking against new england set free a lot of runners tosses a towel to the side and ready to take the snap from the kansas city 48 running play again with ball nice couple of cups and he's got eight more who has a big contingent here supporting him he's from st louis a lot of the families made the way over here to watch him play the rookie denver fortunate two good running backs and two running backs that are able to protect peyton manning when they need to second and two ball again and that one spin move that's what he needed to do to pick up the first down derek johnson up in there making the hit we talked about derek johnson since they played so much past defense against his broncos offense what about what are you going to do when it comes to the run game he goes you got to gamble sometimes and that's what he can do he can diagnose plays he can gamble or calculate a gamble and still make hits in the backfield he looked at you yesterday and said we came out of that denver game two weeks ago and we believe we can beat them first and ten the fake the time and the pass down the field he has it again for the touchdown touchdown the third time he gets behind the kansas city secondary twice for touchdowns beautiful throw down the field by peyton manning you talked about it back up safety in there abdullah over on this side watching never sees the deep crosser there's nobody in front of him that's the only person that can hurt this defense on the pass and how about eric decker said they wanted to get him goal and i'd say he's gotten going today well if you consider five catches 140 yards and two touchdowns that's a pretty good day and he set up a third touchdown with that 42 yarder so they come right down the field out of the locker room to tie it at 21. how about deckard consider this 37-yard touchdown a moment ago a 41-yard touchdown in the first quarter a 42-yard catch that set him up at the three that led to the touchdown throw to moreno beating them deep time and time again and prater earns the touchback what happened on this one oh well a lot happens first off they're going to block they're going to give peyton extra time to throw it here's abdullah but it's the stack release and as you see it it lets eric decker get going full speed goes inside now look at the safety thinks he's going to go across the field instead he goes deep that's a change up in the nfl everybody from the other side they usually go across he went behind and it caught the defense off guard of course we had just mentioned the play before that that the starting free safety lewis was out and abdullah was in forum lewis with a knee we're told questionable to return hannah charles coming out on the sideline with that that was two first the fouls caller exactly out of bounds of course you only get one it was adams who wrote him out of bounds after he picked up 15 on his own you got to think 15 more personal foul unnecessary roughness defense number 20 late hit out of bounds 15 yard penalty first down i'll take the football to midfield and how to get the crowd fired up and of course gets his offense rolling out of bounds pulls him down oh yes absolute easy call that's a good five yards yeah you know the field of play and it gets dangerous it really does it gets dangerous for jamal charles he gets dangerous for all the people on the sideline hard to get out of the way and only two go back jim just to talk about that touchdown peyton manning has had some touch and accuracy down the field today there's three or four magnificent throws hitting the guys right in stride to get big gains or touchdowns what a dave throwing the ball deep down second and nine out of the backfield avery's first catch shoved back by harris avery who had four grabs for 91 yards and a score against the chargers and that's the first time we've called his name first time he's been targeted yeah that play was designed to go the other way when you get these formations especially when you see dwayne bow number 82 close to the offensive lineman that tells me one thing they want to throw it to him got a free release dwayne bowe is the guy in the passing game they design a lot of plays for him denver knows that and when it's tight he's been coming through with the big catches brandon alberts really upset the left tackle about that flag another one officials say fourth down he did go head first so that makes the play live the flag is going against albert holding now if you're denver you decline it holding offense number 76 10 yard penalty third down he'll take it and drop him back that's right to about the 41. you don't decline it the ball was coming out and starting to work its way he still maybe had possession still had possession though probably as he went to the ground it's a close but they take the penalty jim to go that real quick because you got to think that they might have gone for it here on fourth and short and i agree with jack del rio you take that penalty would have been fourth and maybe a short two third down that's the difference alex smith i think his legs are going to be a big part of this second half you can't count on these receivers getting it done in obvious passing situations 16 yards to avery yeah no hesitation by andy reid this is a long two if he throws this up the field he's going to get it but he brings him back a little safe with the throw and makes the decision easy for andy reid for the feet down yes well done it's a nice route by avery welker waiting at the 10 for dustin colquitt yep if you backpedal don't catch it and how bronco fans wish there had been a simple fair catch just a week ago well that win can make a difference 34 yards down near the 10. found founded here in kc in 1910 hallmark largest manufacturer of greeting cards in the united states and there's lewis with the knee injury in this game but back on the field after the chiefs got beat deep on the last end for possession and that's moreno struggling to get back near the line of scrimmage overall this kansas city defensive line doing an outstanding job against the run that time alan bailey and tom bahali stopping for no game bob sutton the defensive coordinator second and 11. thomas thomas cuts back middle able to get away from cooper for a second now is he beats cooper like he did two weeks ago he gave the signal outside i thought for sure kendrick lewis would back up and help but it's to release once again what shake at the line of scrimmage that's hard now the chief said we're going to give cooper some help over the top i haven't seen it today that's tough assignment no safety there to help you 77 yards puts manning over 4 000 for the season for the 13th time by far the all-time record moreno for no gain so demaryius had caught a pass on the first play of the game first play for denver then had the injured shoulder had not caught another ball until that one goes for 77. well what do you do adam gates the offensive coordinator said we're going back to attacking we're looking down the field my gosh have they done that but there's so many weapons decker's hot so you're worried about him then demaryius thomas goes deep on you manning with 13 4 000 yard seasons breeze has seven the second most on his way to an eight caldwell to the right on second and ten but looking loud and thrown in the direction of decker covered up well this time by sean smith you know what was interesting about that long pass you saw peyton manning make a signal to demaryius thomas now of course they change them up every week i don't know what it was but it would have been high alert that he's going to 88. and he might be going to him again as he comes back out onto the field after catching his breath and he lines up to the far side league payton said hey i'm coming to you run deep one more time going to the other side to decker for number three on the day for decker and a flag comes down near the line of scrimmage cooper who got beaten by demarius on the 77 yarder got beat by decker on the the touchdown of the play is a touchdown after the play personal foul unnecessary roughness defense number 91 glow to the head touchdown counts the 15-yard penalty will be assessed on the kickoff called on tomba holly let's watch peyton manning looks right down the middle of the field he knew all along where he was going with the football because the inside receiver jacob tammy occupies the safety throw it over the top and cooper can't make the coverage eric decker had three touchdowns on the season before today he's got three here in a little more than two and a half quarters and peyton manning has reached 40 touchdown throws on the season 21 unanswered by the broncos eric decker dude he's getting tired this has been in denver they take him out get some oxygen all that running but what an attack today you're right jim 50 yard line you kick it out the end zone you try to get them inside now they just go ahead and be satisfied setting them up at the 20. again the penalty gets highly assessed there on the kickoff nance and phil sims happy to spend the late afternoon with you on the opening day of december denver has its first lead of the game and here come the chiefs on first down little toss to the ground back up tight end has a first down in the gain of 11. well jim let's watch how they set up the touchdown first off peyton he's going to lean back look at me and then signal pointing to the ground who knows what it means dig for gold go deep but they got a defense out that's on that peyton manning didn't look it off he looked at demaryius the whole way and demaryius thomas what a shake at the line of scrimmage to get it done yeah manning with four completions in this quarter for 149 yards and two touchdowns first down for the chiefs play action the smith looks down for jenkins over the shoulder incomplete aj jenkins i like what they are trying to do in this game they did it against denver two weeks ago get the quarterback kind of moving one way opposite of where the throw was going to go he moved right he throws left a little double move by jenkins and should have caught it yeah the pass was perfect a pair of former 49ers trying to hook up on that one and harris got a hand in there and then help knock it loose tim let's go back and look at the touchdown here's eric decker all peyton manning is do is going to do is read the safety so he's watching the whole way so when the safety sits still he knows he's going right over the top and another perfect throw so dude well-designed plays gets them that touchdown smith took something off that pass and was pretty accurate nice touch anticipation and anthony fasano his head hit the ground and he shook it up he's definitely a little wobbly coming off the field get some assistance to the sideline and now kansas city punting for a fifth consecutive series dustin's punch is a good one as hemingway makes another play on special teams and caldwell's going to get flagged here it's going to end up setting up the broncos inside the 10. 55-yard punt during the kick hill is the block in the back receiving team number 31. half business to the goal first down timeout actually called on omar bolden but hemingway made the tackle anyway denver in kansas city with five to go in the third the penalty places the football at the five to start this drive ball gives him room and more those long passes made this defense back up and look inside virgil green gets a good block on don terry lowe and derek johnson cannot dive and make the tackle didn't take long to get out of that jam one play 45 yards they are shredding this kansas city defense in this half but not this time as derrick johnson is on him quickly for a loss of three and again if you're just joining us each team coming in at nine and two both coming off wrenching losses a week ago but if denver goes on to win this game it would have not only the one game lead but technically two up with a season sweep over the chiefs in effect a two-game lead with four to play and would have pole position on the one seed for the moment in the conference second and thirteen crumpled off the welcome and he's met for no gain coming up quickly on him finishing him off was barry he was talking about you must double cover the outside receivers and make the linebacker and brandon flowers couple of two inside guys third and 13. that's thomas for the first down he needed 13. he got 15. well they take advantage of it sean smith has helped over the top but he lets the receiver get inside of him the protection's good enough that wasn't like one of these little short get rid of the football quick routes that is a great route for just the speed and the size of demaryius thomas he has definitely turned into one of the elite receivers in the nfl we talked to him a couple of weeks ago he had so much to say about learning from peyton and from welker about how to be a better football player he's over a hundred joining decker first and ten and down to vector they go and that's going to draw a flag on cooper who's having a rough half past interference defense number 31 automatic first down feet long by demaryius got beat by decker on that touchdown in this quarter the second one and then here yeah they're going to call it because he's not looking for the football it's that straight arm well that's it you impede the progress jim when you stick your arm out there and put it in the chest so that's a good call 19-yard penalty returns denver to the red zone there wasn't a lot of confidence in the backs behind moreno because of fumble issues paul and hillman who really hasn't seen action since the indianapolis game in a crucial fumble but with moreno not 100 even though he's seen actually caught a touchdown it's ball's biggest performance of the season i'll i'll give you he had two touchdowns against the chiefs the first time out but this time it's 10 carries 87 yards his biggest production 74 yards coming in this quarter stays in there on second and two earns another handle and that's frank zombo holds him the one so hard to stop this offense the denver broncos inside the 20 because they have so many plays we've seen them all the tricks the throws the double moves and then what happens you're trying to double wide receivers and there's nobody there to stop the runs that's why there are a tremendous swimming team inside the tent saw a glimpse of adam gaze the offensive coordinator thomas at the bottom of the screen with cooper on him third and one they'll pick up the first demps bumps tammy out of bounds well they got this offense rolling there's no doubt this is what they want to be this team matches each other jim in other words their defense is aggressive the denver broncos they play a lot of man-to-man they they take chances and that matches this offense which it is at its best when they're just going after it quit worrying about the perfect place sometimes running the football because they're making us run it be aggressive and throw it when you want to first go kendrick lewis almost got the chiefs first sack well moreno is upset because he let the blitzer that was his guy but he makes up for it with the catch through three 28-21 denver and you're watching the nfl on cbs well last week denver got outscored in the third quarter 21 nothing but today they outscored kansas city 14-0 it was one-time 21-7 chiefs there's the third quarter numbers 244 yards in the quarterback the most touchdown passes by a kansas city opponent ever at arrowhead five peyton manning he's got four right now and second and goal to start the fourth timeout call by payton and that was back on halloween day 2004 when peyton had the five touchdown game here you might remember this when it was a shootout 45-35 the chiefs actually won it it's the only time peyton's lost here he's got a 4-1 record at arrowhead the only time he lost he threw five scores about a foot short neutron marine working outside the one now they got him caught you know that time they're doubling receivers who's going to be there to stop the run not enough guys good job recovering about the kansas city defense to keep moreno short of the goal line actually just inside the one moreno stays in on third touchdown denver number and it was cooper who was trying to defend once again the rookie from rutgers is having a tough afternoon yeah he is this is this is truly just a beautiful throw outside eric decker does a good job positioning himself between cooper in the sidelines and peyton manning puts it right on the money and the extra point makes it 35 21 that's a franchise record a record that was shared by shannon sharp and demaryius thomas remember we talked about that down at san diego eric decker with four touchdowns today the drive that started back at the five began with a 45-yard run by ball ended with another decker touchdown cooper who tried to make the 49ers roster and got waved and then picked up by the chiefs and an early interception in this game but he's paid for it ever since and if you had decker on your fantasy team i hope you started it we've been hearing by the broncos for a while now we want to get him going yeah they've been saying well he finally found a way to do it it's really just the scheme a lot and they're using those free releases when eric decker gets down the field he is a big wide receiver and this was a well-designed change-up play over the top same play that we saw in the first touchdown perfect robot a good body position by degrades in the fourth 28th unanswered by denver over to borrow through his hands this thanksgiving weekend whether you're a parent teacher student or fan there's a fun and easy way for you to hop on the nfl play 60 bus get on board and join the movement that has helped millions of children get active and healthy visit nflrush.com play 60. well we talked about in the first half i bragged about the kansas city chiefs making those tough catches and we've seen that was a drop the last drive we saw two big drops down the field you could almost look at it say that's the difference those drops they might have driven down the field and scored and tied this game up they've been forced to punt their last five series second and 10. it looks like another one going against alfred and he albert was injured on the play starting left tackle holding offense number 79 10 yard penalty second down we call the penalty on donald stevenson but brandon albert needs some attention from the medical crew we'll be right back and the card is coming out for brandon albert the chiefs left tackle sixth year from virginia who they drafted in the first round back in 2008 we've been working on his left leg and andy reid has come out oh he was trying to hold off on miller oh i think it was actually on that spin it looked like he hyper extended his leg jim as he twirled around there at the end his replacement will be eric fisher here's another angle on albert as he's spinning away eric fisher was the first pick in the draft last spring he's been nursing a shoulder injury alaska did not start second and 20. and it's a three-yard play for charles now things were operating with such precision early in this game for the kansas city offense what's happened since well that's right well the this skill group for the kansas city chiefs it's not one of the best in the nfl so the denver broncos defensive backs have really done a good job shut them down but jim it comes down to this when you play this offense of the broncos you have to be permanent so they dropped some passes an interception in the end zone tough to keep up third and a long 17. it's a yard short to hemingway it's just short you have to this is one you've got to sit there at andy reid and you might have to think about going for this gonna be fourth and less than one i think i would go for it and i'm a conservative coach and he is gonna go for it hey look it doesn't matter where you put manning on the field he's able he just went 95 yards in a couple of points position you got to look at it 12 44 peyton manning had one more good drive the game would be over andy reid knows it i definitely agree with this call big game you got to take some chances and go from the gun fourth and a foot charles will move the chains with that one for two oh hold kansas city staying out there without any concern about the fumble and it will in fact stay with kansas city goes across the formation good initial surge cannot see the football not in that pile jack dale rio challenged it's a good challenge by him yeah it is i mean if you if you win the challenge you pretty much generous challenge with the runner fumble prior to being down by contact timeout well you take over near the 30 a chance to go ahead and close it out we'll see if there's a fumble on the play after review the ruling on the field stands first down kansas city denver is charged with their second team timeout unrein was able to wrestle the ball away from charles and it's just very difficult to establish when he was down sunrise coming in 96. he hit his arms around it but it's a good challenge by jack dale reel jim like you said he had a chance here to challenge if they see something they like in the replays they could end the game that's right oh avery couldn't hold on yeah you do this is what defensive backs hate the underthrown football with the back shoulder throw and yes you have to come up that catch that's four drops now by the kansas city receivers in the last couple drives well he tried to secure it got down there it looked like it might have hit his knee a little bit that's what caused it to jump up look there's still plenty of time two scores the opportunities they're getting again down the field second attempt charles with a blocker in front of first down at the 46. we got flags out big eric fisher had come in was one of the lead blockers it was a 15-yard run but very likely coming back illegal use of hands to the face defense number 25 5-yard penalty added to the end of the play automatic first down so 15 on the run five more on the penalty look at the block by 72 eric fisher what an athlete you talked about in first pick of the draft and he just runs over quitting jammer nothing he could do except get to the ground there's 25 chris harris got his hands to the face yeah in the face of him again yes and again that wasn't a sure catch but it was a tremendous throw and you got to make great catches in the nfl now you got a turn he turns his hands underneath i think that made it harder if he had turned his left hand on top i think he'd could have pulled this football in but just out of his reach smith has had nine incompletions today and how many of those have been drops at least to get seven i might add that jamal charles on that fourth down carry for the first got his thousand-yard season went over a thousand on the year you know he went head first so that's not a give-up when he hit the ground and slid for another yard or two that's where the ball should have been marked ball is marked though at the 43. of course this is four down territory once again provide you don't lose big yards on the side but they were explosive off the line that time gain of eight nice play by andy reid jim you talked about it more creative face he sweep one way puts it to the ball charles outside and donald stevenson now playing left tackle good job leading the way that's what you need this league you gotta take advantage of situations be deceptive and that was a definitely a deceptive play for the kansas city chief's offense he's the first chief is charles to have four thousand yard seasons priest holmes had three seconds i said i wouldn't say that no not you i'll be watching wednesday okay set a new standard look who's in the backfield hemingway second attempt davis catches it he's able to go out of bounds after a gain of five again you're calling plays if you're andy reid you talk to alex smith you tell him the situation third down and five here hey four down territory so again don't take the sack give up on a play if it's not there so we can try it forward on fourth down rodney hudson the center hudson really doing the job there and hemingway helping out first down kansas city how about that center gets all the way down the line of scrimmage to block the person who is in coverage to play sean payton likes to run inside to 10 all the time down in new orleans get this look from the top davis earning himself some extra carries just by the how hard and how big he is running hard look at another injured player and it's vaughn miller trying to stretch out now his left leg 58 eric fisher's been doing a good job against him since he's coming the game at right tackle could be just now there's no doubt when you look at von miller he is at least 10 to 15 pounds heavier than he was last year and sometimes when you get bigger get more muscle puts more stress on those hamstrings and legs i wouldn't i wouldn't know what that's about but he keeps trying to stretch out yes that's what he said though we talked about it i said boy look he said when he was suspended that time off he really worked on just getting stronger and conditioned himself so he could be when he needs to and overpowering pass rusher we saw it when he first came back i haven't seen that power move here today but what a this is a gutsy drive by the kansas city chiefs overcoming some drop passes going forward on fourth down it hasn't exactly been uh swiftly down the field almost six minutes but eight and a half plenty of time got all your timeouts the two minute warning we got a first down at the 17. another screen it's charles this time and he's fighting for a first down and he gets a gain of 11. well that time it depends on the defensive front but it's the right guard jeff schwartz that's going to get outside releases good timing and he just pushes wood yard backwards good job by the broncos defense rallying and stopping the touchdown pretty good screen team we said that earlier and of course denver knows it andy reid his whole career all those years in philadelphia through a lot of them and they're starting to get the hang of it here in kansas city becoming very good at throwing screens or hit three screens on this drive first and goal batted down incomplete as chris harris came bursting through and got a hand on it the job blitz picked up you're not going to get there even defensive backs jump this is the 15th play of this drive second goal mccluster in the round shakes off airs still has big slides for only a one-yard gain robert ayers had him for about a six-yard loss they've been faking that end around and not handing it off and that time they do you said it airs and terrence knighton big defensive lineman gets out there almost gets him also i don't think i have to see it but i will it's just definitely four down territory you've got to have a touchdown on this drive a drive that's lasted almost a half a quarters worth of time 7 17 and counting third and goal complete mccloud drag down mccluster personal foul brass win face mass defense number 33 to the goal automatic first down he gets there ian nacho but he grabs that face mask that was an awesome job of fighting through the formation his own players 74 is an eligible saver 74 eligible long inside the one six lymon up front for the chiefs first and goal give it the charge that was some drive by the chiefs a lot of toughness involved there a lot of grip don't see this as much as you used to do you jim but what a job jumping and going over the pile if he doesn't do it he's not going to make it i think that was dave irving in the backfield number 56 that's going to make the tackle but jamal charles makes a good decision goes over the top what marcus allen used to do here when he finished up his career with the chiefs fly right over the top suck up now connects it makes it a seven point game still six and a half to play a big fourth down conversion a long drive down the field 17 plays in all and the chiefs are back in it the chiefs are coming off their longest drive by plays that is 17 of the season they picked up eight first downs on that almost lost it for a moment a little reach in and there is a flag out is there a flag on the far side yes during their turn illegal block in the back receiving team number 56 10 yard penalty first down some of the early headlines luck and the colts hold off the titans and that puts them in huge position in their division eagles have won four straight full even with dallas in the nfc east and again the patriots find a way outlasting the texans coming back from 10 down at halftime there's a look at the afc playoff picture baltimore at six and six miami with a win over the jets is six and six and that's moreno for two yards before today the longest drive allowed by the chiefs this season for a touchdown 88 yards well the last two drives by denver have been longer than that 92 and 95 yards second half possessions all scores all touchdowns moreno split out to the bottom of the screen second and nine pass again they work on the guy the cooper is covering it's decker for a catch of 17. yeah they can't even get to a position to double team the outside receivers that time peyton manning split the running back outside that makes one of the safeties go there and you get one-on-one down the right sideline with cooper and decker once again i say you double demaryius thomas and eric dicker and you go one-on-one with the other guys and make them run the football first down run moreno that smith on him first moreno coming off a 224 and that tender ankle today 13 carries 23 yards making it 14 for 23. he's just a different player this year no sean moreno just he says nothing's changed but he plays tougher you see his intensity all the time he knows what to do second and ten ask me a false start against the broncos false start offense number 27 yard counting second down jim nance bill sims and the crew want to welcome those of you who saw the bengals come up with a big road win over san diego 17 to 10 to improve down to 8-4 on the year and drop the chargers to 5-7 here in this one kansas city was out ahead 21-7 at one point in the first half 28 unanswered by the broncos with manning today throwing for five touchdowns four of them to decker but we're coming off a kansas city touchdown drive that lasted seven minutes and 47 seconds and cut this to a one score game second and 15. no yep there's the flag it came from the back judge not with the guy that was running down the field with him intended for demaryius thomas and sean smith's going to draw the flag past interference defense number 27 automatic first down pretty easy to determine what they're going to do five wide receivers so you got singles on each side he's off so he's going to take the easiest throw they've been having success with it all day long and that time smith was in great position the throw was not going to be there that's easy for me to say when that football's in the air the tension builds and sometimes you panic and hit the receiver before you back to the should and again they're covering up moreno quickly today eric barry in the backfield this kansas city team has all of its timeouts now as soon as i say that they like to take one they're first by the way next week regional action on cbs some we'll see early that miami at pittsburgh game and many of you will see tennessee come in to take on denver as it all starts with the nfl today at noon eastern time we'll be out there with denver we look forward like everyone else does to seeing john fox back on the sidelines next week have a chance to visit with john later in the week setting up for that game he'll be returning to the compound coaching tomorrow coming back after the aortic valve replacement surgery and great to see him recovered and back home and getting back to work that tackle by barry set him back five yards so it's a second and 15. and the flags down at the line of scrimmage as the pass is incomplete a little shift offense number 75 five yard penalty second down and the first matchup between these two they never even got a hand on manning much less sacked him and today they have had pressure on manning unlike that first game but again no sacks by the team that being kansas city that led the league in that category and it's an empty backfield here for manning on second and 20. and they blitz and they find moreno and moreno going alone for a first down he's got four chiefs around him he takes it all the way to the 35 and he's still crawling look at him look at moreno there are a couple of flags out too after the play personal foul unnecessary roughness offense number 66 walthers made a first down so after the 15-yard penalty first and 10. manny ramirez called for that but it's a 31-yard completion and a lot of yardage after the catch for moreno watch the safety this time hussein abdullah he goes underneath and now no chance to make the tackle that play the underneath route they do it with moreno that time that's something they started with marvin harrison here comes ramirez into the pile just lowered his head the crowd of his helmet just hit anybody that was in the way again as you heard from terry mccauley first and ten that's for a couple but how about moreno after he gets tackled he's still crawling crawling signal first down you talked about that passion and intensity timeout kansas city well i think it's why we showed early in the game the tears coming down his face before the game yeah in the anthem yeah it's either the anthem the bigness of the game and his determination to get ready to play today and how about that man watch the way he's already been tackled at this point i think he's making a point there boom and again in the anthem we just happen to capture this can't explain it no but but we saw it well he's had another good day the formations by the denver broncos in his lab last drive the five wide receivers are spreading out kansas city's made some tough adjustments to it and it's been the difference in so far for the denver offense second and seven chiefs down to one timeout manning's pass incompletes he had pressure by pole and now a huge third and seven on the way as moreno returns to the huddle well you don't want to say it's the game but it's close 345 one time out the two-minute warning we've seen the chiefs they're going to march it down the field so they need all the extra time they can get intended for tammy and they'll force the broncos to punt hard to second guess many plays for the denver broncos but this one a screen pretty careful when their guys have been shaking the defensive backs down the field mccluster at the 10. remember his ill-advised fair catch at the three earlier in this game oh this time he's got his heels at 10. britain colquitt who's never had a punt block sends it high in the sky flies to the five and it's down at that point by steven johnson 40 yards and a beauty as alex smith gets up a few more warm-up throws before coming out there like to drive him down one more time like he did a moment ago and again so much on the line here the division lead the chance to be going down for the last four games in the first position in the afc seedings yep everything on the line really for the kansas city chiefs here you saw alex smith those extra warm-up throws he really likes to keep the feel of the football a little chilly doesn't wear gloves that's why he continuously warms up during the game three and a half to go with one timeout from the one he throws it out almost pulled down by bow webster on them no flag how can that not be a penalty just from here now i could be wrong but the contact as the ball is in the air and he goes up to make the catch good try by dwayne bowe top of your screen is there contact before the football gets there and i i'll tell you that's good coverage i'll backtrack against the chiefs false start offense number 84. half the distance to the goal second down for those of you expecting to see 60 minutes you're watching the nfl on cbs broncos and chiefs jim nance and phil sims here at arrowhead stadium 60 minutes coming up next everywhere except on the west coast growing out of the end zone avery who's had a hard go of it today and ruled incomplete chris harris stripped it out of his hands avery's hurt never really doesn't look like he had possession long enough and pulls it in before that football is knocked out by chris harris jack dale rio is going to challenge this this is the old you call it the bang bang play you know what happens a lot of times and we'll see it looks like a completion when you see it in slow motion but when you're running full speed you go too quick denver it's challenged that the pass was complete and recovered by the defense timeout so terry mccauley will go in for a close examination of that last play donnie avery on the sideline he landed awkwardly on his arm but this is the big question was it a catch and a fumble full speed catch boom comes out pretty quick and then when you watch it in slow motion too you also see there's a little jumping of the football yeah when does he have full position he's got it and then there's a little move there at the end after review the ruling on the field stands denver is charged with their third and final timeout denver is out of challenges but even losing the challenge kansas city faces a monumental challenge from the four third and 14 on the way with 3 21 to go yeah tough decision here to be ready is it four down territory if it's fourth and say 14 for andy reid one time out left and the two-minute warning aj jenkins comes in for avery to get to the 18 for a first pressure smith deep ball and jenkins who just comes in from the engine what a job what a blitz alex smith watch the crowd that comes around and they do a little game up front it's a late blitz and he stands in there and gets hit and that was a beautiful throw over the top of webster his biggest contribution as a chief jenkins 26 yards and smith hung in there first down another default over the head of mcgrath he tried to play earlier to facado and he dropped it but aj jenkins what a job by him i did not see a push-off when avery was down aj jenkins sprinted onto the field i watched him and said this is the guy that wants to get out there and that was some catch jenkins traded early in the season for john baldwin as the chiefs and niners exchanged former first-round picks second attempt fake to charles it freezes the defense beautiful throw i mean that was perfect once again the catch speaks for itself but the play action pass right down the middle good for 28. and alex smith is 42 yard line he's laser sharp no doubt about it all day long throwing the football with 2 14 to play smith again right over webster and the chiefs are set up at the denver 19. that's good for 23. well jim that was beautiful back shoulder throw watch down the middle the play action fake look how wide the safeties are and he throws it perfectly and we're seeing more of this week by week from the kansas city chiefs got to be able to throw and catch those back shoulder throws in this league if you want your offense to be top notch first catch for bow since the first quarter three straight 20 plus yard plays my first thought is before the two-minute warning why were the chiefs in such a hurry because time is not going to be an element against them unless they score and they leave too much for peyton manning but denver because of the challenges is out of timeouts also kansas city has the one second and ten from the broncos 19. smith hit when he threw it a cluster for a short game give him a couple as we reach the two-minute warning third and eighth will be coming up as we're down to the wire here in kansas city tonight on cbs it's all new and it begins shortly with 60 minutes we have almost a thousand yards of total offense here we're coming out with 156 to play with denver trying to hold off a late rally by kansas city third and eight for the chiefs avery is back in the game on the near side looking left though by jenkins and he's ridden out of bounds by webster really good idea unique formation but the execution the throwing test just it wasn't crisp enough and jenkins was a little slow getting started so it'll be fourth down fourth down coming up well jack dale reel a very aggressive coach on the defensive side got to stop at your play here they're going to review the spot okay we'll call me heading over to the replay monitor gives reed and company a little more time to draw up a big fourth down call maybe they're checking to make sure it was a catch that came close to being in contact with the ground he caught it a little bit probably cost him two or three yards the delay of just re-catching the football pretty remarkable turnaround though when you take the chiefs down 14 in the in the fourth and previous drive they had to convert on a fourth down on their own side of the field this time they had the ball on the third and 14 at their own four after review the rolling on the field is confirmed with the pass did not hit the ground it is completed pass fourth down now what will they call from the 13 on fourth and four well gave andy reid a little extra time that that look to see if it was a catch to think about his play selection i think i'm more interested to see if the denver broncos just decide to send an all-out blitz and make alex smith get rid of the football quickly and remember one of his big options talking about andy reid fasano shaken up in this half is out the guy for them usually in the red zone mike adams defended it they were looking for bow in the end zone yeah they were he might have had the first lead i think he thought the pump fake to the right was going to open it up for bow in the end zone watch the punk fake but the safety boy that's a good job about not losing and being affected by the pump fake to the other side andy reid and his team with their chances in the red zone today their first drive of the game they got picked off in the end zone this time they get denied in the end zone play by adams and that's goal running all the way to the 41. let's just go back and look at jim that last play now it's easy to sit up here and second guess but he's going to do a double move oh he doesn't do a double move so i was wrong so i thought he did a little move goal and he was going to be open that fake was just to try to get the defense to move so they could throw it back side to dwayne bow mike adams a 10-year man in this league and with raheem moore and injured and i art adams seeing more action he was a longtime member of the cleveland browns and he comes up with a big play of course decker career game with four touchdowns today the chiefs are gonna lose a third straight after nine wins to open it's funny now you and i three chief games here we've done recently and now you look at this football team how things change so fast in the nfl you look at them jim the strength of their team right now is their offense not their defense i'll tell you for denver big time driver seat now for the division again we mentioned it earlier sweeping the series over kansas city one game lead really two game lead gonna be heavy favorites in all four of the remaining games and of course in the one spot right now kc might be looking at the five seed when it comes playoff team time and there's their schedule the rest of the way they'll hit the road for washington and oakland kansas city is going to have to find a way to win these close games they thought they had it last week they gave up the long drive to lose to san diego now the big battle for denver will be holding off new england the rest of the way for that one so that if it's an afc championship if it's a rematch for these two from the game of a week ago it would be in denver if the broncos were able to hold them off in new england by the way very favorable schedule as well the rest of the way although they will have a game down in miami could be interesting what a game this was kansas city the last two weeks puts up 66 points in two weeks and loses on both occasions to san diego first denver today jack del rio how about his job as the interim head coach how about this four games fan he has the head interim head coach really the toughest in the nfl this year san diego kansas city when it was unbeaten at new england kansas city and arrowhead they come through at 3-1 where's i know what they're thinking should have been 4-0 they had it no fault of his again there's the lineup tonight on cbs all new partners been a great weekend enjoyed sharing thanksgiving with you you had enough football yet yeah let's do another one dallas on thursday no next sunday here in kansas city today thanks for being with us folks for phil sims and all the crew jim nancing so long you've been watching the nfl
