2014 AFC Divisional FULL Game: Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos

[Applause] for Denver he handed the place-kicking duties for a good chunk of the season now is relegated just to the kickoff specialist and Josh Cribbs three-time holdover during his days with the Cleveland Browns as the return man eight times he's returned kicks for a touchdown in his career no chance to get a handle on this one will bring Andrew Luck and the quotes off that sound here's the last word on the sidelines for Andrew who has had 300 yard games his last three playoff appearances two playoff wins at home both of his losses on the road his line the first five starting four consecutive weeks for the first time in three months writes on the right side should see a lot of Von Miller today and Harun had a hundred and twenty total yards last week the most by running back for the Colts in three years they go with three wives to open the game Montreat joins Wayne and Hilton and from the gun they dump it off to Hannon and herons got eight he caught ten balls in the win against Cincinnati last week and he's got a quick one here Denver's defense ranked number three in the league this year Jack Del Rio's punch Brandon Marshall big question mark all week long with a foot injury he's back up for the first time since mid-december at San Diego and we expect the seat to leave today Milton [Applause] that's the case right now as you see Hilton at the top built lined up to the left on 2nd and 2 and the pass our reach for Coby Fleener sets up third and 2 well we saw Von Miller talking to Tracy Wolfson it is the key can they get to the quarterback today but for the Indianapolis offense they want to protect and do luck we know that but do it so well where he can move around and that's where they get a lot of explosive plays Miller DeMarcus Ware the defense inside said we're going to get two sacks apiece that's how they think they're going to win the game Lehner wide to the right four wives and all on third and two it comes the pressure laughs hold on to it just gets back to the line that was where who got to him they made a good job - on the top of your screen here comes - Marcus where he just kept working nobody was open that's why he got a second chance to get to Andrew Luck eight yards on the first play that's disappointing for the Colts offense not to pick up a first down that goes as a one-yard rush my official stance McAfee in to punt at a big week against the Bengals last week he spends out of that when you could see new it right on contact he didn't catch it cleanly and it bounces out of bounds between the 30 and 35 just a 39-yard poot Peyton Manning the month of December it wasn't healthy but statistically his worst month of his career since the first month of his career Phil back in September of 98 yes it's kind of hard to save and I think the Provost want to get Peyton Manning off to a good start getting confident because he's been beat up he's tired that lack of production even when you're arguably the greatest quarterback ever to play in the NFL self-doubt can creep in so I wouldn't expect a fast offense all evolving around beaten many they'd love to get him off to a fast start he got a couple of days of rest during the bye week when they practice he set out a couple of days they run it and as CJ Anderson has been huge the last month and a half has a gain of five now the rest of the Broncos Montgomery midseason became the starting center they moved Ramirez and Vasquez down one spot and meanwhile Julius Thomas I was looking out there he was not in on play number one he's not in on this play either he of course since November 16th has been really or tarnished by an ankle injury second and five and it's Anderson and Colts are on him quickly Josh Chapman we met with Julius Thomas who's going to come out for this third down play and they've been just waiting for him to get healthy since the game in st. Louis mid-november I think as they look at this game today we're gonna watch him to see how he gets matched up by the indie defense but more importantly I don't think they're counting on him because of that ankle gym that he's going to be the main focal part of their passing game if he looks like he can go full-speed he can take advantage of the defense then they'll find him with the passing he was big part of that first matchup against the Kohl says we've got a player down on one knee that's Anderson just to finish the thought on Thomas and that first matchup against the Colts he caught three touchdowns and had 12 touchdowns through the first 10 games and then the injury came well he was awesome in that game you know to go back to Peyton Manning a little bit here beat up healthy today that's the difference in the Peyton Manning we saw at the end of the year so Anderson gets the first two carries and now is getting some treatment on the field CJ Anderson did limp to the sideline but now appears to be just fine he's replaced by Ronnie Hillman on this third and five were told by Tracy Wolfson she got word that Anderson is good to go back in it can extended rhyme they do not as Sanders has the cash today a patron got hit at the end of that by Arthur Jones and a flag is out Bert has complete to Sanders and roughing the passer in this building [Applause] where's that they wanna pressure him Arthur Jones gets him there and they're calling that he went low and that is a good call he had a chance looked like he could have stumbled but when you go the knees to below make contact like that it's gonna be a personal foul saw a couple of those earlier today's game didn't get called but that was pretty easy to see nobody around mistakes that Arthur Jones Chris Clarke joins the offensive line and Anderson's back in running back the penalty puts the football at the 45 of the goals if buddy might have twisted an ankle on the tackle by Chapman a few plays ago but he shook it off and he's back in for a 9 run room 9 yard rug and there's Arthur Jones who just got flagged with the roughing the passer otherwise it would have been a three and out for Denver Freeman had a huge game against the Bengals including a sack and a half and a forced fumble and Mike Adams of course started in the secondary last year for these Broncos who did not resign them at the end of the season the 11-year veteran second one and that yields a first down into the arms at the quelle Jackson it well you talk about quarterbacks postseason starts Tom Brady now at 27 Peyton tied second most and 24 with Brett Farr and in Montana 23 you look at this Indianapolis defense Jim they're gonna gamble some today I think they're gonna play pass and hope their big defensive lineman is linebackers are good enough to stop the run game and and do it that way they are worried of course about the big throws down the field to Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Titus rush down from the 34 [Applause] the toughest battles of the war they mark it at the - as Julius Thomas makes the over the shoulder grab Manning right on the mark 432 he's going to go outside then the quick turn up it gets Landry nice head fake by Julius Thomas and that's so much faster and freer than we saw him run Friday he had practice they love that type of play they kind of with it in the first game and he repeated it and hit it for a big play here today he told us I have a lot more confident this confidence this week there's a lot more I can do and he showed us there as he moves into a slot on the right on a first and goal and rolling out his Manning to the end zone incomplete but a flag he was going back to Julius Thomas who was covered up their bite to quell Jackson but a hold call coming up against the Colts defense they love that play little sprint out trying to pick for the inside receiver prior to the pass holding number 29 defense half the distance to the goal automatic first down they got the former Bronco Mike Adams on the flag look they have nobody over the receiver so it's a problem and by the time they get there little late you panic and that's when you commit the foul so Peyton Manning got on there very good inside the Tim with all the different types of plays they line up in one formation shift to another you got to make the adjustment Anderson had eight rush touchdown to the last six games of the regular season up Thomas right over that's exactly of course what the Broncos an efficient drive and they got Peyton Manning involved and he made a couple outstanding pros and that's a bad job by the coach you can't let for the best wide receivers in the NFL be matched against the strong safety Payton three out of three on that drive to three different receivers the big one to Julius Thomas the touchdown to Demaryius Thomas there was going to be a three on out but a drive extended because of Arthur Jones roughing the passer call leads to this touchdown at an opening drive score it is for the Broncos opening drive touchdown ending in the hands of Demaryius Thomas who just set the Broncos single-season receiving yardage mark over 1,600 yards breaking rod Smith's record team record and again cribs not given a chance as McManus takes it through the back of the end zone well Jim let's go back and look at the big play of the drive besides the penalty by Arthur Jones Julius Thomas the look back is what does it LaRon Landry goes for the head fake and down the sideline they love those type of plays anytime you play against Peyton Manning you always have to be looking for the double moves if you're aggressive as a defensive back he is going to make that first meet they go deep down the field being on that play and the touchdown here they come after luck again those underneath - Haren Lee and it's Marshall with the tackle after a gain of four and through his first four postseason starts Andrew Luck has the most passing yardage of any quarterback in postseason history through four starts how about you see Aaron Rodgers on that screen - Jim how about dad playing really one-legged from mostly the game but seemed like he got loose and played great as it went along and Green Bay now moving on to Seattle next week as all the home teams have so far this weekend been victorious second and six and it's Gleaner 21 just in time and shaken off a tackle and stepping out of bounds about three yards short of a first you know that opening series by the Colts that was big in my opinion to get the crowd to settle down and take some of that enthusiasm in a driven that you see coming out of the Denver Broncos and not getting that first first down put him in a tough situation [Applause] dream on treatment whiteouts no Reggie Wayne fines to wayne allyn for their first first down out at the 35 make it the 45 gain of 18 with that throat wide open up the field and out it's his own defense and really had to be a mistake by the Broncos nobody underneath and really nobody over the top or in that areas Allen wide open Allen and Fleener catching passes on the last two plays they each had eight receptions here in September [Applause] he has walloped by Ward and Roby but you gotta like what you see from Andrew Luck Jim get in protect getting protection right now but not forcing the football down the field very important what did Chuck McDonnell say to us in the meeting last night about Andrew Luck after last week's game all the decisions he came you saw Heron kind of dragging that left arm for this day Tipton replaces him a fake to Tipton on second and AIDS crap it is by NYX for a purse down just going back to Andrew Luck Chuck Pagano says the best game he's played as a pro was last week against the Cincinnati Bengals because he just was making the right decisions his movement in the pocket his pace of the throws that was perfect there's Herron on he was hurt on that tackle by the way Trent Richardson is inactive a healthy scratch the running back they traded for last year for a number one pick to Cleveland not even threats today first and ten and what were players around him that influenced that throw incomplete to Tipton never miss a moment of the playoffs get the past to score stats and news but not only Indianapolis Denver but all the postseason action right on their phone download the CBS sports app now boom Herron came back into the game Jim so that's a good sign for the Colts and also Andrew Luck so far this is a good draft for this Colts offensive line give way to find that second and third machine six straight pass plays [Applause] [Music] and is tackled by Marshall behind the and a loss of two random Marshall back in the lineup so dynamic what a job reading this play it is well set up fake reverse but they can't get the block on him because he's too fast and as Jack Del Rio says about Brandon Marshall what a find what a job smart and athletic Indianapolis is only rushed so far was scramble at the yard on their first series that came up short of a first down Aaron does not have a single carry but he's got four catches it's a third and 12 and again the Denver defense was there in a hurry Jack Doyle was the target they definitely had confusion what they were going to do at the top of the screen Andrew Luck is trying to throw it I think the Coby Fleener but both receivers are looking for the football Knicks too so big mess up on the Colts offense miss Doyle who was actually over there so he gets gets and there is a flag out he was hit by Stewart's backup running back as Mont Creek downs it at the three [Music] running into the kicker number 27 of the defense penalty is declined first out of a penalty yardage would not have been enough for a first so they decline it as they pimp the Broncos back at the three yard line play selection so far basically 11 drop backs for the Colts well we I'm not shocked by that Jim you know they're going to come in they're gonna win or lose his football game with aim do luck and the fact that they're protecting has to give them a little confidence on the sidelines almost got the Colts to jump [Music] it's a matter making a 22-yard Ron by Anderson you know he's got such good footing he's got a wide base for a running back you know he keeps his feet far apart so he can make cuts just like that and they let he's changed his football team CJ Anderson has he doesn't lose yards you know once he gets contact he can always go forward and as they say Adam GaSe the offensive coordinators this week sometimes don't block anybody he gets five yards five carries for 38 yards for Anderson give to him again he's gonna surrender three Erik Walden wraps him up for Anderson on that first series went out for a snap and Chapman grabs hold of the ankle and it got twisted a little bit awkwardly Anderson did have a nagging ankle injury at one stage earlier in December but he was able to shake it off and come back in really sho went to the sidelines retied go shoes and then right back in Hillman for this play clanking the quarterback second and 12 intended for Sanders with Vontae Davis defending the world's greatest detectives are back together in New York and there's never been a better time to get on their case Johnny Lee Miller is Sherlock Holmes in the new Elementary Thursday at 10:00 9:00 central only CBS what about the injuries all the speculation about Peyton his health in the month of December we know he had a thigh injury but of course as time marched on we found out I had a thigh injury on each leg on each leg and you know listen it's important to Peyton Manning probably uses his legs more throwing the football than any quarterback in the NFL so when those legs are hurt that's gonna affect his performance here he is on third and 12 from the gun pass incomplete good coverage down the field one huge key to this game today they got some good defensive backs when you talk about the Indianapolis Colts they got up they gotta go after these wide receivers so this watch Peyton Manning gets those feet little indecision where to throw it because the coverage was tight and pass ended up right between Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas and Colquitt is out to fire two cribs [Applause] Boldin let him catch it for a millisecond Rowdy calm winds frenzied crowd in Denver third series coming up for the Colts after a 49-yard punt parents first carry Harlen one maybe two luck is thrown at ten times here in the opening quarter mainly of the short variety the 118 yard pass played at the Wayne Allyn picked up their first first down of the game not surprising because look who's in the middle of that defensive line when you have Terrance Knighton in there right down pity and the interior deeper whine to the vocals it's hard to dislike a fan when the football second and nine Reggie Wayne is back in wide to the right [Applause] is opening the seam and tackle by more into leave but it'll mix up 20 with that one on the outside here is here's Hilton is just going to go now inside as against to leave a little fake and to lead missus to jam and by missing that Jam that gets that gets those extra yards I think Jim this is an interesting matchup dy Hilton so quick and shifty a keep to leave will let you go inside a lot of times then pass routes I think that's a tough situation for him against ey Hilton now we saw it right there and let him go inside and picked up their biggest play of the game so far Herron with the wiggle and a gain of three Tuesday on CBS it's a new year in New Orleans and the good times are still rolling on this TV's number one you show NCIS New Orleans new episode Tuesday 9/8 central on America's number one network this is some job when you say you're going to come in to the game you talk about the Colts and you want to throw the football against the Denver Broncos they have to premier pass rushers and three in the secondary so that's a tough assignment second and seven play-action and luck [Music] running away from David Bruton jr. gotta like that plate to first off watch the protection they're doing a good job of mixing things up against von Miller double teaming him and give him some chips but Coby Fleener plays fast has really come out in this third gear he's a weapon first and ten they may have brought Denver with a a quick chip change no there cover-up Allen for a loss not Davis one of those in on the tackle in the loss of three Broncos were substituting at the last second and two players just barely made it to the sidelines before the snap-loc thought he might take advantage of him and quick snapped it they just made a gym but you know talk again about this nice changeup throwing the screen throwing the ball short trying to get rid of it take the pressure off anthony Costanzo the left tackle and joe writes the right tackle second and thirteen Buckfire said he's got Hilton again across the middle down to the 15 well let's just watch this match up from the bottom here he comes across and watch it keep two lead he opens up he's going to try to read through the quarterback but that cut is so fast and so clean there's no way a jeep to lead can make up that yardage to get in there and disrupt that throw that one was a play of twenty three and a new set of downs at the 15 Herron cutting back inside and inside of the 10 he goes that's where you run it to running on the edges where some of the small guys are you got Dwayne Allen Costanzo gets out there gets a nice block Coby Fleener seals it walks Malik Jackson kind of what he did last week Jimmy remember against the Bengals they went outside with some runs and had success they don't have to run another play here in this quarter so luck and the Colts are gonna be content to take the next snap at the other end Indianapolis driving Denver leads at 7 nothing after one will return after these messages you're watching the NFL on CBS quarter number two Jim Nashville since Tracy Wolfson and Mike Carey in the booth from the nine second and four it's Herron it's not the been a half yards short of the first by where this is where a spot like this you go boy I hope we can run it because Denver was playing past all the way there daring the Colts to run the football so he went up there and got good job puts in the situation two runs if they have to to pick up this first down a drive that began back at their own 27 / sinner where Terrance Knighton is though they go Harun he goes left he's in the endzone for the touchdown what a call would have prayed design perfectly they take advantage of a stout defensive front a defense it's fast they run a little counter I think Andrew Luck got a little confused how to do this counter but they adjust boy nice blocks on the back side they seal it Reggie Wayne and to Wayne Allen both throwing blocks and Herron looked like he might have been hurt when he landed in the end zone he grabbed that arm again it looked like what a drive by the Colts finitary ties it at 773 yards and nine plays is with boom Herron in the endzone for the Colts we take a look at our nationwide sky cam that Colts Drive was set up really by the defense responding after a first play by Denver on the previous Drive of 22 yards all of a sudden they buckled down and got the Broncos offense off the field Herron ends it with the touchdown but that shoulder looks like it's a problem and a touch back generated there by Pat McAfee in the back with the Broncos ready to go from the 20 Peyton three out of five so far for 36 yards and a touchdown Anderson for one Peyton this is his 24th postseason game he's second pass yards to Brady who overtook him last night with Tom's big performance against the Ravens he's 206 yards today they've moved back ahead of most 300 yards performances know I [Music] second and nine he's out to about the 36 they just come out they go five wide receivers and there's nobody inside to cover the receiver they blitz the linebacker so there's a big void inside and that was easy pickings for me many not a very good adjustment by the Colts guys the stiff arm on Davis who hangs with him and holds it to a short gain gain of two NFL honors find out who'll take home this year's most post prestigious awards hosted by Seth Meyers a two-hour event the night before the Super Bowl Denver offense one thing they want to do today is be unpredictable so keep changing formations movement and maybe catch him off guard with certain plays according to situations neutral zone infraction number 91 defense five-yard penalty second down rookie Jonathan Newsome hands the broncos five yards and john fox four years here in denver for division titles first year with tim tebow as his quarterback and of course the last three with Peyton 38 and 10 stretch in the regular season for Fox and Manning out here honey he'll be the running back second and three [Applause] on the side of the field finally tackled a secondary by Landry running behind Orlando Franklin pretends Alando Franklin number 74 coming around gets the block last year he was a tackle moved to guard it took a while for him to adjust to being the card look he is six foot seven and 320 pounds usually guys that tall are playing tackle but I'd say the last six or seven games he's played extremely well Hillman was the starter for a brief while this season had a couple of hundred yard performances he stays in the game for this first down snap surround them turn it into a negative play of Darius Butler among those who push him back a yard you know one thing that's changed a little bit when you watch this Denver offense - with Peyton Manning that it's not always up there and trying to check to the perfect play they come up now more than ever and they got a play called they stay with it and they run it to keep the offensive linemen aggressive that's the reason you want to do then they bring Julius Thomas back in here fill Adam GaSe the offensive coordinator who had four interviews during the bye week for head coaching positions Thomas wide left second and 12 and for Julius Thomas but this time Landry did not budge an inch he got beat on that play down the sideline 4:30 early in the game but this time airtight cover there it is top of the screen what's the initial contact that's how you win you beat them at the line of scrimmage and that is a huge key for situations like that for this Indianapolis defense they want to get tight to the receivers be extremely aggressive and as Greg minovsky the defensive coordinator said I don't care get a pass interference call just compete and be aggressive and so far pretty good job on the outside as Greg minovsky the coordinator looks on here third and 12 coach Freeman falls on it Newsome was the one who forced it he's the speed rusher of this football team Jonathan Newsome top of the screen watch the speed all they confused they make a mistake nobody blocks him and he had the speed to get there to make the play - Ralph Raymond has the fumble recovery but it was again Jonathan Newsome the rookie from Ball State who got around the edge and some sacks at the end the year really shown that speed all year long but it's really coming out more and more in the games here late in the year that just shows you about the Colts defense staying aggressive with the Blitz that time and Newsome was hot in the December had six and a half sacks on the year most of them coming at the end Aaron is the running back after the take away from the 41 of the Broncos and it's a flea-flicker look looks downfield and it's well covered up so he goes underneath to door Paul Miller wraps him up after three sar Jim really good job top of the screen here watch him come across you hope well they get back deep that the cross is going to be open but they are ready for it but this shows you about Andrew Luck not taking a chance being very smart with the football no big play throw a short pickup Aaron split out to the top Knicks in a slot to the right second seven it's Cameron again it was lined up as a receiver he's got the first down at the 28 pick up a 10 so to Jim as we watch this last play up top coming underneath pretty good when you get a running back to come inside and catch routes like that but they have switched to keep to leave off at ey Hilton this time to confuse that lined up well Costanzo stands up and points a finger at DeMarcus Ware heron now with 15 catches a little more than five quarters into this postseason five of them coming today false start all right let's get a report from Tracy on the sidelines what do you have Tracy well thanks Jim boom Herron hurt that left shoulder early in the game reactivated it on the touchdown came to the sideline he wouldn't allow any trainers to look at it he just pushed him away he said I'm fine I spoke with him this week he was so happy to have this opportunity you can tell there is no way he is going to let them take it away from him Jim any better get near him playoff football nobody wants to go to the training room first in 15 and here he has Herron that is Marshall falling on him after a gain of three the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl is coming up and of course Hall of Famers Michael Irvin and Chris Carter are going to be selecting the teams at the Pro Bowl draft on Wednesday January 21st and you can watch the Pro Bowl live from the home of Super Bowl xlix on Sunday January 25th go to nfl.com slash global and learn more and there is Newsome who forced the fumble sets up the Colts at this end of the field the second and 12 coming up from the 30 what with pressure got it away into the arms of Moncrief with a flag and it's against the Broncos what a catch what a throw for 22 sure was Donte Moncrief prior to the past holding number 25 defense penalty is declined first out something they look forward to in this game because Jim in the opening remember we talked about 18 weeks later the Colts think they're a better football team and it shows so far here early in the game but what gets him excited his number 10 Donte Moncrief now he knows how to run routes he's used to the NFL game and he's capable of making big plays we're probably in the first couple weeks he was not caught a touchdown last week against Cincinnati the rookie from Ole Miss drafted in the third round first and goal and Herron set her step and then a sprint into a pile after two wolf is there for Denver well what can we say good block dead Tom pop new horn on the left guard but so far Andrew Luck thrown it short when he wants to throw down the field Jim this offensive line to say it again they are living up to what they wanted to do here that is protect Andrew Luck event defensive front for Denver coming off a bye week doesn't look all that full of pep and energy so far in this game luck has hit his last seven passes he faces the second and goal of the six bacon to the line and looking around and coming it's incomplete that was wolf who was dragging him down on the release good hustle by Derek wolf but the good thing about Andrew look one two didn't go that's all they talk about you get two quick looks and if it's not there you throw it away or you move [Applause] he's already got a reputation for congratulating people on a good hit and he turned right around and looked up and whooping said something and Andrews complimentary third and goal [Applause] shakes off the head rolls out fires Pass was incomplete going for Hilton Hubbard by to lead this could be on to leave prior to the pass holding number 21 defense [Applause] first down well they spread everybody out and that puts a lot of pressure on the defensive line and you've got to keep Andrew Luck in the pocket so it collapses inside Bob Miller comes inside then allows everyone to escape and then on top of your screen you get the hole [Applause] good call t:y hill and again it wasn't pass interference otherwise it would have been at the one is half the distance it's at the three first and goal look looking six loading it away in the direction of Moncrief maybe on that plate where they got the holding call against to lead von Miller would have been dropping back trying to be a spy that would not surprise me that's something they know our Denver is ready to do I think if the interlock starts moving around they got to have somebody watching and try to mirror him so he can't get that extra time to throw [Applause] second a goal from the 3 NIC's at the top Wilton stacked on the right side but looking left and for the touchdown made the octopus [Applause] big strong Emily needs to he can put some heat on the football Dwayne Allen a lot of teams running this play you try to keep inside technique you turn around and Andrew Luck just overpowers the football into him and excellent coverage by to leave he's all over they got overpowered a little bit though is Allen kind of boxed a mountain but the touchdown he had eight on this regular season big Dewayne Allen out of Clemson all set up by Newsome strip and a low-driving kick is good by military set up by the Payton fumble buck has the touchdown past 14 unanswered by Indianapolis Evan the Colts lead it at McAfee handles the kickoff duties number one in the league this year in delivering touch backs and the kickoff game and he's got another one here Bolden no chance to run it out for these two quarterbacks and tied together in so many ways Dayton went the Neumann down in New Orleans luck to Stratford in Houston ward winning career Tennessee and for luck it's Stanford both the overall number one picks both started every game of their rookie season they both wear the jersey number and it belonged to their fathers in college of course Andrews father Oliver actually backed up Archie for a year with the use of Oilers about that and however was number ten in the pros but number 12 in college West Virginia here's first down [Music] Sanders looking around for a flag that does not exist I think all they had was incidental tripping on their feet but down the field Greg Toller at the last second goes okay here we go he took off and you could see their feet Nick's at the very end I thought but they're up challenging the wide receivers we've talked about that and Manny is not afraid to throw those long passes down the sideline doesn't a lot and every single game two out of six throwing it since that opening drive touchdown three for three opening private one second and 10 running play Anderson takes a big hit after one [Applause] you know we mentioned how about the dads were teammates for the 1982 Houston Oilers Archie and Oliver and then of course this past year they served on the comets football ball committee together for a span season playoff committee now we got Welker in the game Phil yeah to the left in the slot and a blitz up the middle at least the faithless go to 9 again Sanders unable to reach out and pull it in he had a step on taller yep an excellent pick up a game paint many time it was a blitz inside Toller is trying to trail Mike Adams the ex Denver Broncos safety now with the Colts there to try to help out twice they tried to find Sanders on the fly not able to connect so Colquitt the punt for the second time [Applause] he's met by a Bronco head-on at the 49 yard line Cory Nelson dip cover T Y Hilton the last drive all but one plane it looks like again he's going to be somewhere near out last two drives for Indianapolis have ended with touchdowns [Music] and again this would be five yards again number 15 offense five-yard penalty first thing or is this spawn to Denver rush so far I think it's the story of the game right now they are not getting to Andrew Luck it's nothing but not get the sacks they're not getting close to him so look at that he's double hichy stepping up and following through and finding receivers down the field it was a huge key in this game company Lorca's moved a couple of times to avoid the pass rush when it does hit you that was their third pre-snap penalty so it's a first in 15 it's away from the pressure takes off with it a flag has been thrown but Lux able to tiptoe all the way out for a 20-yard rush are you gonna need some discipline by this defensive line they got crushed down inside and nobody outside holding number 21 defense five-yard penalty will be enforced from the end of the run first down boy it has been a rough start for to keep to leave yep he was on T Y but let's just watch this side of the pass rush and they get you trying to get to the quarterback you go inside and all of a sudden - here goes and we look no hesitation feels it takes advantage of 20 yard scramble by live now Aaron it's going for six and even that run you they don't expect to run the ball real well here today but you can see the Turk determination and the offensive line did a good job the fire now 22nd ranked and the regular season on the ground though that's just a slip by Herron ran on the exchange on the handoff no comment no gain now early in a year this Denver defense blitzed quite a bit but they have good pass rushers so as the years gone along they quit futzing his spot get there Herron goes wide to the right last time he was split out as a receiver look throw it to him for a gain of 10 third and for his pass was intended for Fleener Ward was on the coverage and outcomes minute airy for a field goal tried TJ Ward can all-pro safety I know the Colts liked that matchup you get a safety on Coby Fleener who can run who's really come on of late in the season the TJ Ward was all over minute Airy today ties Jerry Rice for the most postseason games ever played his 29th postseason games got a 44 yard field goal attempt coming up then attain kick wide right it missed only once all season long he was 30 of 31 this only miss came at week 17 at Tennessee Denver will take over at the 34 boy Chuck Pagano during that break was upset there wasn't a penalty on the third down play against the Denver defense and Ward specifically let's bring in Mike Carey what did you think here Mike yeah I think he has something to complain about here you see the grab of the Jersey should have had a flag out on that one that's starting point of a drive today for Denver but well Jackson along with Mike Adams bring him down but not until he picks up 14 it's a good play call because why you have everybody back playing past so Peyton Manning sees it which he's done for so many times and you're gonna force him to run it he's not afraid to give it to the running back Julius Thomas on the field for the Broncos against Anderson to the Colts 47 and another five with down the stretch talking about the last six weeks of the regular season he was tops in the league rushing the football tied for first total touchdowns led in rush touchdowns with eight over those six games the University of California lost his helmet picks up three well he plays like an undrafted free agent doesn't he every carry he acts like it's his last one what did Mike Adams the safety now who was that Denver plays for the Colts said they he told him you just got to do everything keep working keep driving and sooner or later you get your chance and was just so impressed by the presence this kid brought to a locker room full of energy a lot of talk smart knows what to do exactly they have not converted on third down today they got third and two here press coverage on the outside so they're going to try to play these receiver tight these receivers tight and make Manny make a very good throw Peyton empty backfield [Applause] but miss all the flag flying in there but they had him covered wes welker it's inside against pride in the past holding number 21 defense five-yard penalty Dante Davis so first down for the Broncos I think it's the kids he's covering Emmanuel Sanders in the middle we saw the grab of the Jersey as the fourth penalty on the Colts defense you put a good receiver like Emmanuel Sanders inside Jim that is tough go because he can go up the field crossed outside 852 yards passing over the head of Demaryius Thomas covered up by Ponte Davis they're saying and what we talked about they are pressing these wide receivers and trying to be aggressive and so far it's worked very well on the outside with Greg taller and Vontae Davis Davis is a Pro Bowler taller on the other side was limited a good portion of the practice time this week because of a knee [Applause] second attempt dropped it back Thomas had a bad case of the drops week one in the game against Indianapolis arguably the worst game he's ever played when he was ready to take off here Phil yes he was but I'll tell you they recognized that inside screen pretty quickly on defense and I think they were going to stop at about five or six yards but back in that week one Demaryius Thomas was trying to play the slot cousin because Wes Welker wasn't there and it was just too much for him to learn really and I think it had something to do with the drops those five yards would have been big if they don't pick up anything here because I'm going to put him in field goal range now a third and 10 and again looking long for Sanders and it's been up there boy they think they're going to be able to to get that one at some point and they're actually booing here well look at this tie it up top so Peyton Manning has a double move here from the guy that's off and not fooled nice turn in run by Greg Tolin when that drop again by Demaryius Thomas means now they have to punt it on fourth and 10 with Colquitt changes play selection of course greatly when you have third and 10 or third and five that's it bounce around and the Broncos are there to cover it up Jacob Tamme beautiful 36 yard punt my Britton Colquitt on the Verizon halftime report now Payton has misfired on his last six passes granted one of them was a drop right the hands of the merriest Thomas but vote for six is the longest single incompletion stretch of his playoff career well just look at those roads that he is missed they are putting the pressure on the timber offensive Peyton Manning to throw it deep down the field for those completions and you're not going to hit a high percentage of those but he's going to have to try again because they're going to keep playing that same coverage the end zone - heron he's deck right away by Stephen Johnson now both teams have all of their timeouts here is we have 220 to go in the half follows the Colts of course I think they're gonna do this just sit there wait for the two-minute warning all right we reached the two-minute warning with the cults leading it 14-7 you're watching the NFL on CBS two minutes to go in the half the Colts did not take a timeout before the two-minute break nor did the Broncos there I think that's the right call John Fox if you take your time now then what do you do if the coach start driving the ball and you gave them extra time here right before the half so both teams played it correctly second and seven again a full three timeouts for each side handoff to Harun Brits the tackle it goes out-of-bounds and has the first down again Reggie Wayne we mentioned his name just a couple of times today both times those were occasions where he threw big blocks like right here yeah good block on the outside and gets Chris Harris coming in awesome job a straight arm and a good job by boom Herron getting outside we're gonna do it all Reggie Wayne started this process three years ago with Chuck Pagano he wants to see it through and what he means by that he wants to see this team of course go to the Super Bowl Chuck encouraged him to re-sign said I can't do it without you they go screen the Haran with a flag out and he's tripped up after two by Roby [Applause] holding number 74 offense 10-yard penalty anthony Costanzo two left tackle flag for that again the Verizon halftime report it's straight ahead for JP if Tony Bart Fullmer coach Cowher highlights an analysis and again a recap of the Packers victory today that sends them now out to Seattle for the NFC Championship game next Sunday yeah we're waiting to find out who's going to play New England next weekend hey Jim now this situation since that penalty this is where the Denver Broncos with three timeouts but there's not a big game here in this plane I think you got to start using those time now Stu give your outfits hopefully one more it's a first and 17 now you see at the top Paris is on Hilton and the pass thrown into a lot of traffic and completes ma'am was that dangerous when Wayne was over there Fleener was in the area so it was Hilton here once I think it's TJ Warren reads it comes up he's going to make the tackle but if he has seen the football I think he could reach out caught it but that's that's asking a lot those screens are run so much by teams in the NFL that's what you do you they're doing now and this week they're attacking them not Levinson and completion perhaps a break here for the Broncos you still have all the timeouts second and 17 from the seven its Herron again he bounces off the pile and then taken down by Sean Miller at the 13 should be a quick timeout here by Denver and it is it will be a third and 12 coming up for the Colts with a minute 37 to go in the half now what will the Colts do will take the snap at the 12 with a third and 12 situation the big thing of course they must scream be careful we [Applause] all the way back to the goal line stepping up and log Ching [Applause] transy browbeat reacted to the football quicker than Donte Moncrief but don't think of this like oh this is an unbelievable turnover it's just a not a very good pun but the ball is thrown you see Roby made the first adjustment to it and gets the interception well it basically serves is the same as a 39-yard punt but Roby who made the big stop on a fourth down situation at the end of the game week 1 against the Colts denying a pass to Wayne as the Colts were driving trying to tie the game up the rookie out of Ohio State has the post season theft and now with 128 to go in two timeouts Peyton and the Broncos been stymied to 1 only 100 yards so Demaryius Thomas cannot hold on to the football exactly what he did against the Colts the first time as we mentioned before trying to go north-south before he has control of the football you're right it's the inside screen the tide in both wide receivers Wes Welker the Emanuel Sanders come flying out try to make the blocks he's going to cut in behind them teams off quite a few those screens during the year I'm worried about getting hit now to see what's in front for 6 first time is not even an issue right here for this Denver offense two timeouts [Applause] 13400 just glitched before he's got Sanders whose twist it down by tober and now the Broncos call the timeout with 41 seconds 17 yards to Emmanuel Sanders really good job they got they saw this blitz earlier so now CJ Anderson's in here this way they can take the two linebackers inside if they blitz well that was a good job by CJ Anderson blocking Ricky jean-francois was an interesting formation that the Broncos came out with that's that's why they saw that blitz really good adjustment on the sideline and Emmanuel Sanders that was it you saw that replay what a pickup for the Denver Broncos he's different from what they had last year but the air Decker you know he's a quick bass guy who could make cuts just like we saw there on an income and you soft box encouraging him after the play sets him up at the 2800 catch season 1400 plus yards for Sanders [Applause] they make short now looking to the right side its Anderson and Freeman with the forward progress gain of two Broncos better hurry up he was trying to fake the screen to go deep because they've been attacking those outside screen and cold defense but they were ready for it we're back to the merriest Thomas and Jim let's go look you know Peyton Manning Adam Gator trying to find ways the screen outside they're going to go deep and they're all over they faked the screen look at the defense backseats both guys going deep and Peyton Manning has to turn go to the other side it goes to the running back third and 9 13 seconds just 1 out of 6 [Applause] most of these third down situations have been third and long in this case [Music] incomplete Vontae Davis said he come up with both feet inbounds would have taken away the field goal attempt it's on the way look at Demaryius Thomas doesn't get his right foot down they will be charged hurry I'm out the ball to the right foot is never down is he he's been so aggressive at the line of scrimmage and what a nice changeup and of course play in the situation to Jim there's going to be a field goal attempt so if they want to throw it underneath let them do it because it's probably going to be the last play of the half as far as the offense was concerned and because of the injury to Vontae Davis they have to charge the Colts with a timeout and as poorly as Demaryius Thomas has played yes he caught a touchdown early in the game from a yard out but two drops with no one around them in this quarter on this particular play he may have saved him three because had he not come in and shoved Davis he probably would have had both feet down know what happens to him when he goes to the ground yeah I think he just falls on the football but you look at this first half the Colts a couple things very positive on their side they've cheated against the run the run hasn't beat him yet the defensive backs have been spectacular and that guy Vontae Davis leads the way and then the other big story is the pass protection so far for Andrew Luck Connor Barth his first ever postseason game and it'll be a 45-yard field goals who saw Vontae Davis get an early start to the locker room folk within the whole that liquor store a sign late in the year at the end of November Barth who has kicked for Kansas City in Tampa in years past he's come on that hits 16 out of 17 attempts as a Bronco this one from 45 [Applause] my carry as we watch this you see the runner Sergio Brown going up there did he is that a penalty technically it's a penalty because he can't come down on players if he leaves from behind the line of scrimmage even if he played comes on top of his own player still should be a foul okay safety safety issues in the course I'm bringing it up because if anybody was watching the Seattle Seahawks last night came Chancellor did it a couple times and was very successful it's amazing what he did leaping over the line five times you know Tim and she just capitalized his first half we've talked about the Colts but you look at the Denver Broncos and they got to go in and half time to go did we escape this is awesome Worley down 14 to 10 because so many factors have gone the Indianapolis Colts way and remember Denver deferred and will receive the third quarter kick and that's Tipton backup running back jumps up and then falls down on it to bring us to halftime and a good halftime a good half of action it was Manning trots in 7 out of 18 for 71 yards and a touchdown luck throws for a hundred and thirty seven a touchdown and a pick and we're heading down to Tracy Wolfson and Omar Bolden like to get a chance to welcome back his last two games at the regular season he had returns of 76 77 yards but McAfee doesn't allow many returns all season long not one here all right so the Broncos deferred and they get the football here will we see a different Peyton in this second half his passing total yardage in the first half 71 yards that's the second fewest at a first half in his Denver career he's not getting any easy throws that's one thing they're taking away the screen game by and large the Colts defense but Peyton Manning who I think there's one of the best long throwers down the field in being accurate there is in the NFL so the fact that he missed so many him in the first half I think Bart Scott said it right he's got to settle down take his time just a a half a second more then let that football goal and I think the time he's gonna be much better get Welker on the field on first downs a handoff to Anderson and he's dumped after one Anderson rushed for 66 yards in that first half in the first game week one now Peyton stake the Broncos to a 24 to 7 lead at the intermission and in that game he had 199 by halftime including three touchdown tosses to Julius Thomas now it was not a good first half by the Broncos really on either side of the football but look 14 to 10 we should the virtual green as we go down to Tracy Wolfson well thanks I had a chance to speak with John Fox and of course I asked right away about the offense and Peyton Manning and he said they just need to settle down and he need to get a rhythm going he said they definitely made adjustments in the locker room but of course would not reveal those adjustments he said as for the defense they need to get a pass rush going and he said as for the matchup between Aqib Talib in T Y Hilton he wouldn't say if he would take him off it but he did say they needed to clean things up Jim okay Vontae Davis at the top is on Demaryius Thomas member Davis was shaken up at the end of the first half Bateman third and five looks down the field and the pass to Sanders his ruled incomplete it was pushed out by taller well you heard the crowd Jim in the crowd was making noise because nobody was in front of Peyton Manning and that's a good job by Toller when the receiver goes up in the air but watch Payton good job break in the pocket and look it down need it for this five yards for the first down that's a opportunity I'm still a good throw but the opportunity to run was much easier and much greater for Peyton so three and out for the Broncos okay it's a spiral down to cribs ooh that's this one bounce on the sidelines and right at about the 28th Andrew Luck coming back out after the 47-yard punt here are the first half stats Indianapolis put up 201 total yards sixty-four coming on the ground Aaron had 43 on the ground and a touchdown to go with six catches folks first snap of the second half to be a pass play over to Alan and Alan able to make the cut pass to leap to pick up 12 for the first down well Jim big story in the first half you have to premier pass rushers on the outside von Miller and then DeMarcus Ware to the left and both level of Guinea blog von Miller of course that time was double-teamed but very little pressure on Andrew Luck that this game continues and you get far enough behind and you have to start thinking about glitzy Andrew Luck he has not been sacked today goes down throw on grief it's turned around on that one he can you talk about an offensive line that's protecting him they've had this year 11 different starting combinations on that offensive line and it's the first time in three months did the same five started back-to-back weeks on the offensive line well the fact that we haven't talked about Joe Wright's the right tackle much means he's doing a really good job on von Miller basketball player at Western Michigan there a football of course utility capable pearls left Western Michigan as their third all-time scorer and rebounder second at ten they're getting around on the edge but one-stop shopping for about the first down sir long Tipton undrafted rookie beautiful move up in the pocket this is what they talk about one hits two hits get rid of the football or run and the fact that Andrew Luck last half of the season there's pep Hamilton the offensive coordinators very strong a teaching the quarterback in Andrew Luck look they've been dumping the ball shorter help 10 offensive line now takes hits away from a any luck and of course it's a lot of turtle to sue first down give Karen and that was the Marcus we're on him first after a gain of four he's tackled with NFL mobile watch every playoff game live on your smartphone download and learn more at nfl.com slash mobile you know what I really like about the clothes offense over here the last part of the year pep Hamilton Chuck McGann they said look now it's just about winning games so whatever it takes and they what they mean by that [Applause] second and six and the receiver fell down Reggie Wayne was across the middle this is an Indianapolis team that went oh and four against teams that eventually won their division talking about the Patriots the Broncos the Steelers Plus over on the NFC side Dallas but the rest of the league they went 12 and 1 against was playing in the AFC South they won that division and there's some weakness at the bottom of that division when they won all six they ran the tables on the south [Applause] obvious passage situation can they pressure look 36 and he's able to get it to Moncrief or another first down well they did change up said well if we can't get there they're gonna blitz comes inside he comes free but the Colts had the right play on the quick pass nice job perfect throw but a good job by Moncrief go down protect yourself and make sure the catch Moncrief second catch for 32 yards total and the Colts have picked up three first downs on this drive their first drive of the second half not dumps it to heaven who gets balanced and then gets stopped at the thirty after another for Denver Denver is deep on the defensive line Bob Miller come on the outside this time blocked by tight in Doyle really a double-team Joe writes is sitting there waiting for him good luck active in the pocket finds a way to get rid of the football on time again Miller with 14 sacks on the year where with 10 they've got nothing to speak up so far second at six [Applause] to nix and he should have caught that one Todd Davis came in and hit luck and there's a flag in that area it we used to the hands of the face number 3060 pass offense five-yard penalty repeat second down correction 10-yard penalty repeat second down well though you know what they need to do you want to get there's the hands to the face by Dan Haren against Todd Davis but Jim if you want to get rid of the short passes by Andrew Luck you blitz make the running backs pick up the Blitz and that will give a lot of one-on-one blocking up there for these pass rusher so to blitzes by Jack Del Rio here in his drive so he's tired of watching Andrew Luck had that extra time to throw trying to make these adjustments and the penalty brings it back to the 40 you've got three all-pro defensive backs you got to put some pressure on them to again rub protected dropsy Hilton drop three balls last week TJ Ward gets in there and gets his hand in there look at the space they're given giving T Y Hill uncovers while he dropped at your right gym I thought it was knocked out of his hands with two catches in the game both came on the first touchdown drive [Applause] you could try along 13:16 look over the top cleaner roommate pulls it in inside the 10 [Applause] really nice job I love what they do they're gonna go down and hook and then go they're not looking to get a few yards they're trying to pick up the first down that little double move was just enough to freeze the defense for a half a second that's Todd Davis you got a young linebacker in there in a tough situation both took advantage of it and that's the longest play of the game for the Colts 32 yards first and goal from the eighth mark still handsome [Applause] [Music] Dan's own but there's a flag back at the line of scrimmage Olli number 62 offense Dan yard penalty repeat herself that's a killer but it's the sinner I don't know if Andrew Luck was reading this probably was he's been carrying out his face today on all these reads here's the sinner watched the whole Terrance night boys so quick gets right around and there's a tackle hold on Javed holmes the second-year center out of USC who is actually troy polamalu his brother-in-law when you block Terrance Knighton inside one on he's either gonna overpower you but very quick feet you need to go around him first and go all the way back at the 18 they're gonna go scream to heaven and to krong Kosar on him including Todd Davis they hold up to three luck now with 210 yards he's already now set the pace for the most passing yards by any quarterback in NFL postseason history through five starts through the first five starts that of Warner and bouncing Rogers Del Rio's defense cannot lock down here second and goal and luck has the time fires it to the answer connects keen mix just rips the football out of the air this is one thing you cannot do we talked about it in the opening when you give him a lane to move up into here it is and then he steps out and just rips it he throws the football on the run maybe not as good as here in Rogers but it's not far behind boy that throw he had last week for the touchdown on the run to Moncrief and that was a beauty and this one was to to Hakeem Nicks the former giant Indianapolis is up 11 with a 21 to go in quarter number three with the winner advancing to New England next week for the AFC Championship game Indianapolis was down seven at the start of this game and ever since then the Colts had dictated 21 the three stretch since then as we take a look at our nationwide Skycam the Broncos they were three and out with their only possession of this quarter [Applause] Sanders is a short gain I'm not seeing a lot of confident play out of this timber offense from the skill players from Demaryius Thomas to Julius Thomas to Peyton Manning it's everything they're not doing a great job but you listen let's turn it the other way the corners the safeties whoever's on coverage they've been outstanding so far in this game Anderson has played well this time he's only out of yard and it's going to get another third and six coming up for Denver Arthur Jones back from that high ankle sprain he has and you know you think about big guys like him 97 they need those feet to push off and take on those double teams and he was a quiet force last week not gonna get a lot of big numbers but what a presence inside well you could hear it after that last tackle they're getting restless here in Denver and you'll hear it again if they fail to pick up the first down well somebody's got a beat press coverage all four receivers have a defender right up at the line of scrimmage one in the area of Welker and just listen everybody has got tight coverage they're making them inside that's Wes Welker but you're gonna have to make a move get open and then Peyton Manning's who have to put it right on target how about all this coverages up there they're gonna make the receiver get open and make paint Manning make a tight throw so Broncos without a first down in the quarter to series [Applause] feel that's Denver football they're growing that the blocker was pushed into the returner is why they let the play go the blocker was doing McDonald [Applause] the kicking team player when walked into the receiver it is a fumble recovered by Denver Mike Kerry we got to bring you in what did you see here well normally when the receiver is hit by a defender without getting much room it's a foul on the defense however that block pulls it off of that and it's just an unlucky play for the Indy appleís Colts [Applause] while Bolden want a job by him getting down there hustling down the field and overpowering the blocker to make a big play for the Broncos and they needed it yes I think it's a good call on the field locked into the receiver not necessarily not necessarily so they're gonna take another glance at this right here to see if it's a function if he's taking a long look at this one because interesting scenario was fretted with a knee down before the ball came out or do you see the passive receiver it's an reviewable automatic review anyway because of a turnover which was the ruling on the field of fumble but my carry what did you see now after a second look well here's what the rule is is that just like in a pass if you're going to the ground when you're making the process of making the catch you must maintain both control the ball throughout that process as soon as the receiver hit the ground the ball came loose I would I would confirm the ruling on the field fumble recovered by Denver maybe leave me here in the play the punt return man was down by contact at the 30-yard line [Applause] when they go the other way whether they say down by contact yes and that's not the way I see it because he was hit immediately so he didn't have time to show complete control do a football act and he went right to the ground the ball comes out I would have confirmed the ruling on the field I would see it like this is what I think Mike is saying Jim if you go across the middle to catch a pass and you go up there and you've got both arms around it you can hit go to the ground and football comes out that's what you're saying and that's why you thought it should have been still stay Denver's football correct because there was not enough time for him but it's overturned by levy and the Colts have the football after all at the 30 they go into round with Hilton contact on the sideline not down by McCrae after one McCrae he's flashed here in this game quite a few times in that speed that stopped a really good first down run by the Colts looked like a never going to get around the outside mccrane ranadev made attack second of 9 Milton with to leave on him first down what a throw from the middle of the field way outside against one of the best corners in football it was a little blitz by Denver but ey hilt when he comes out of that break that football is a perfect spiral Andrew Luck can spin it even though he throws it hard the fact that he rotates the football so much and makes it easy for these wide receivers to catch when their contestant when and a new set of downs at the 42 the toss to Herren Villiers there and breaks it down after a loss of about three well again the AFC playoff picture New England in the thriller over Baltimore twice coming back from 14-point deficits will be the host next week against the winner of this one that game will be preceded by the NFC Championship game on Fox Green Bay and Seattle next Sunday second and 13 at the time got hit after the throw by Malik Jackson he was trying to find Moncrief well he found the right guy it's another blitz up front here's the fifth guy so Jack Del Rio who is not free let me tell you that he'll send them he doesn't like what he's seen from his defense you're not getting to the quarterback he sit there Tony [Applause] candidate for the head coaching position at [Applause] at 13 [Applause] was not touched down while they roll them down maro picked off luck twice week one gets one here today as well second deep interception of the game by the Broncos defense Denver ready to go coming off the raheem more interception that came on a third and 13 play essentially was a net of 37 on the change in possession Sanders doubled up by Freeman first well Jim let's go back and look at this 37 yard punt because that's what it really ends up being third and 13 and Andrew Luck just takes a chance throws a shot out there that's twice yes maybe not a great decision as he talks to Donte Moncrief go up there see the football and white boy yeah he didn't look too concerned about it did either Culberson I think he understands the situation and second and nine he could not sidestep taller they're just not able to get any rhythm going on offense I think you saw why it's because of this these short throws every time screams to you get out there there's just you and the defender and the defender that time it's great taller they're taking these receivers down without the extra yards Bregman husky but a lot of pressure on these defensive backs and so far they've lived up to it it's third and five if this goes against the cults it's a short five pointing over at Shawn Phillips who was in a bronco uniform a year ago on the AFC champions Pagano trying to say it's against Denver neutral zone infraction under 55 unit is against Phillips I've got penalty will remain third down I was looking at the imaginary line of scrimmage line and I'd still there saying gonna be short of the first I thought it'd be just enough they definitely brought broke the neutral zone Shawn Phillips 755 so it's third in a foot here Phil [Applause] and over eleven minutes into the quarter before Denver picks up its first verse down to the half boy it was tough getting to how about the tackling once again I know it's third and short you're expecting run but there was about six guys around him and they drove CJ Anderson into the grass Hillman takes his place in the lineup and from the 35 steps up and flings it into the arms of Julius Thomas for a six yard pickup well the Broncos today first drive touchdown and since that time only a field goal just before the half second and four again same play back to Thomas and the spots going to be close [Music] and they move the chains when you set it down as it is well sometimes throw on these short passes get some rhythm get the first downs but also tire out the pass rush to make it easier for the quarterback and it's Demaryius Thomas they need to get him into the game after those two drops and he's got another first down top of the screen release inside but a good sharp cut outside and it that's a tough job for Vontae Davis to cover that couple of short throws to Julius Thomas and then a sideline throw to Demaryius Thomas to pick up a first down and the Broncos I think I said it right those short throws trying to pick up that rhythm that we talked about has been absent Anderson not down by Jackson right away well Jim when you showed that play chart of their drive today not many long drive so they've never got the defense reacting this defense is attacking being aggressive so you need some plays on the offensive side to make them start thinking that's another drop this time a spiritual green Payton had hit five in a row before that drop they are changing up so much on the defensive side that time of Blitzer came free Peyton Manning had to get rid of the football quick Bregman dusky was a lot of press coverage he backed off a couple times Peyton Manning threw it short but caught him with the Blitz that time got a third and nine now from the 44 of the cults [Applause] ladies Thomas got one-on-one coverage at the time its Demaryius Thomas who didn't run a deep enough rowdy short of a first down by a yard or two he is going to be short and Orlando Franklin's mixing it up with some of the belts CJ Anderson is running back come over and drag him away good for him a 15-yard penalty here would be devastating to the Broncos but fourth down here in short they're going to go for the play clock is already down to 15 number 75 including now now they reset the bike lock as there's a wholesale change on the Indianapolis defensive front to beer can one comes up with the biggest play perhaps of this game for Dekker it could be that was by CJ Anderson penetration pouring ratting had him first and then that was LaRon Landry LaRon Landry went so high CJ Anderson was able to use that right arm and get off the tackle these big running backs you tackle him high hard to bring him down boy reading had him about five yards behind the line of scrimmage Anderson runs 13 yards after that initial contact and it's a first down for Denver at the end of the third quarter Jim Nantz Ville Sims alone Tracy Wolfson to Mike Carey we start the fourth quarter you've got a lot of ground to make up through the Broncos but CJ Anderson just made perhaps a season saving run for a first down on fourth and one that appeared to be headed toward a change a possession of the loss of about five of the 29 of the course Anderson but it could have gotten a lot more out of that picks up only one remember early in the game you got Nick Phil yep went the sideline from one play and how about this remember talking to earlier Adam GaSe why he loves he been running back because he's hard to bring down with that contact that first contact we saw that a couple times but that wide winning base he shook off some tackles at the top of the screen second at nine Sanders pumped out by Davis well you saw the reaction by Pagano after his team allowed Anderson to break the two tackles to pick up the first this was on the other sideline with John Fox I don't think it's a stretch by any imagination Jim what you said it was a season saving run maybe and the sport down here it's a third and for a drive that's over six minutes long [Applause] broken up by Butler who's trying to feed it in there to Emmanuel Sanders and they'll bring out the field goal unit which can bring it down to a one score game if they make it yeah easy decision for John Fox but again the short passes they're being aggressive they're contesting the footballs that was their goal and for three quarters they've done it extremely well on the Coates defensive side it's Connor Barth again they made one right before the half from 45 this is 41 Bart is good again the margin now is eight two kicks today by far from outside of 40 13:52 go luck and manic dueling here the winner to face Tom Brady and the Patriots next week for the AFC championship McManus to kick it off in trips who was dazed on that blistering hit he's back there and he's gonna run with it tackle down at the 23 the visual weekend back and forth they went how about Julian Edelman how many ways can he beat you yesterday throwing the touchdown pass to Hammond go who had a huge game - and of course trading start again Seahawks will host next week the NFC title game Chancellor I stood with the returned and then the Packers rally past the Cowboys have to be heartbroken they thought Dez Bryant had come up with the catch that might take them to Seattle next week was later overturned and ruled incomplete [Applause] and that's Harrah's denying Moncrief Chris Harris has had an outstanding year he can one of the few guys that you see could go across the field outside do everything and that was excellent coverage the whole time against Montreat what a year Harris is at he'd torn his ACL last year in this spot on divisional weekend against San Diego rehab came out with sensational Pro Bowler new contract here in the last few days second and ten this time it's to lead who takes away the opportunity 40y Hilton well you ask your pro boards to come through how about the first plane and this job by the key get detention but its usual he's on the outside of the receiver and suddenly there's a little extra bounce in that dipper secondary but continues to have the time to throw it vistas last for got a third and ten plus the middle and ticked away for the third straight play by the Denver defense this time it was warned all three Pro Bowl members of that secondary broke up passes hit Roy we said it maybe start blitzing and put the pressure on your defensive backs to to do what they're supposed to do three Pro Bowlers you said it right and all three came through with very tight coverage one after another that time Ward was on Fleener and McAfee to punt on what was a very short series tackle down by Julie McDonald Welker who has been held without a cash back in Denver where the AFC South champions are leading the AFC West winners 21 the 13 [Applause] its home in the running back not Anderson to Hillman very nearly picked off a diving knocked down by Vontae Davis pass thrown in the direction of Sanders no the Pro Bowls coming up champion January 25th you can see the Pro Bowl draft on Wednesday January 21st go to nfl.com slash Pro Bowl to learn more that was some play by Monty Davis waited to the last second Obon got his hand on that football [Applause] second and ten Sanders what a peace attack that was by Landry they might have had something they wanted that time it had to look to go outside with this screen but Jim all day long all the screenplays by the Broncos very little yardage Landry good hustle Walden coming in there to he's going to make the tackle even if he gets freed but an excellent job on the short passing game Indies defense is done against the Broncos third and seven [Applause] by Davis beautiful play by the pro-bowl corner yep the receiver is going away from the quarterback he's gaining ground watch as he goes outside and as he goes he gains a yard or two it allows Vontae Davis once again to play it perfectly left hand on the receiver right hand knocks the football down Sanders unable to come up with his 8th catch by virtue of that effort by Davis really big series there by the pants defense his punt is short gets a favorable bounce now you look at that drive just the Broncos couldn't get it done on the offensive side but the past coverage just like we saw the Bronco defensive backs do the series before was special Colquitt only 30 yards with that pun now Jim Andrew Luck the outside guys Costanzo writes puts the pass rushers to the outside they got him in front look at the extra time and they allow him to get to his right control the touchdown pass Siri starts at the 34 with Herman and wrestles down by Steven Johnson mr. one-yard gain for Heron gotta give this deep into the Broncos a little credit they have decided no more sitting back in that zone coverage and getting picked apart Chuck Pagano who grew up just north of here in Boulder grew up a Bronco fan second and nine they blitz left we got it away he has an open man with the catch is Hilton they blitz both guys inside and then watch Andrew Luck just stand in the pocket there is no space everybody around him gets him and puts it on the money von Miller from the outside all that was a good move that time but luck right on rhythm finds T why Hill boy that was some throw with a lot of bodies around them picks up 18 [Applause] let's go down the Tracy well thanks Jim it is always special coming back to Denver he grew up in Boulder he played at Fairview High School where his father Sam coached and he grew up rooting for the Broncos actually Sam Pagano attend to the first tryout camp the Broncos out in 1960 he tried out as a kicker but was cut before the preseason game Sam is down here today he said it's very emotional watching his son coach the Colts against the Broncos to thank you he told us you'll see dad on the sidelines with that stogie getting the work out he welcomed Tipton 2nd and 4th Tipton has the first down as he falls forward 4 5 Tracy mentioned the state championship that Chuck helped bring to Fairview High School back in 1978 and let's not overlook his brother John he has the fine defensive coordinator at San Diego who has often come up with big game plans against Peyton Manning he has I'm sure that Chuck called his brother Jon out in San Diego and picked his brain a little but Greg Janowski Chuck Pagano they're pretty good at coaching defense himself first down to the cults from the 36 sir lon Tipton bruh nine more about this all the sudden we're the defense of the Denver Broncos and you're thinking well here comes the passing game and they are blocking him off front they double-team Terrance Knighton and Holmes gets out off the double team and block Stevie Johnson and another good game on game on the run Nicole's running behind Tipton and Haren Tipton was a practice block player till November when he was brought up after a monk rat Shawn went on IR Heron was back to squat all last year second and one and a-tearin with a first down now we move inside of nine minutes again the winner heads to Gillette Stadium as Bill Belichick and the Patriots will be playing in the AFC Championship game for the fourth consecutive year you have to be thinking this if you needed apples Colts right now I know there's a lot of time to go 8:40 but you're up eight points a field-goal puts [Applause] till it takes two possessions to come back so the prey Kali maybe that's why they've been running the football here so this time fellas check [Applause] he stays on his feet to get another three or four yards wow this just explains the Colts all day long doesn't the gym you know this quick balls tip but watch Doyle's effort hand on the ground getting those extra yards taking more time off the clock and creating another good situation for this offense he picked up eight he broke the tackle of TJ Ward now we're inside of eight you want this football with about one or two seconds left on that play clock second it - - heron won't let go we set up third and about one but as you said even the field goal here would be big yeah but this is some big third down here because if they get it here that means three more plays it could be runs time off the clock if they don't make it I don't think there's any way that they would go for it on fourth down two winters I think you kick the field goal got to but first let's see how they handle the yard the drive that's gone over five minutes he's got the first down this drive homeless reminds me of a drive the Colts had in their game against the Houston Texans see we're having a rough time learning the football the whole day and all of a sudden they need to run the clock out that they marched the football down the field I forgot the exact time but a lot of run seven six all the way down and kick the field goal that put him in position to win the game [Applause] give it to [Applause] what kind of deficit will Peyton Manning and the Broncos face once the offense gets back out there and how much time will they have yeah the time is absolutely becoming a factor [Music] Reggie Wayne to the left second and the action of rolling out flings it to door but prey has the tackle when he stayed in bounds which is big because that's going to be another 35 seconds do everything here to him you play run all the way be aggressive put the pressure on your corners at the than you dared to and six they pick up the first just outside of the and [Applause] about four that's what they did they got up there and crowded the line of scrimmage had two people blitzing on each side of the center these two Blitzers really know where to go with the run and a good job by hair and protecting the football and it'll make it somewhere around a 30 or 31 yard field goal attempt by Adam Vinatieri [Music] this from 44 in the first half it has been almost automatic all year the all-pro placekicker all-time leading scorer in postseason history from 30 minutes on his kick is good to make it a two score differential a drive that lasted eight minutes and 14 seconds and produced points Andrew Luck marches the Colts down the field for over eight minutes a 13 play drive and puts the back in front by 11:00 it's the second longest drive all year by time for Indianapolis and Peyton possibly somehow rekindled the Bronco offense off the crossbar and a touch back late Manning four minutes to go Manning and the Broncos down 24 213 then held under 200 yards total offense to this point about four yards to Julius Thomas well there's two things here I know the Colts defense just like that time they're gonna play back and try not to give even Peyton Manning to look at getting a big place so it's gonna be hard to do that he's gonna have to nitpick his way probably short passes and then when he gets near midfield I would expect the Colts to get more aggressive then that would be your chance for a big place and then six he falls at the 44 his first grab of the game yay gave a little shake move and that's what happened that's why Wes Welker was wide open pass play to Welker picks up 20 what Freeman around along with Toller only to the comforts down the field has been so outstanding all day long by these corners of Indianapolis Colts and they're gonna play it safe again which is the right thing to do make you throw it underneath the middle should have been intercepted by Davis that was the end of the game right there they cleared it out to give this room for Caldwell to come underneath and all my gosh look at Vontae Davis he read the quarterback felt to receiver and drop the sure interception yeah that would have ended it it's going to rain now [Applause] the Marius Thomas was not in on that last play he's back round the field for a third and eight little different look pressing the receivers a better chance to go deep pressure and has thrown behind Demaryius and it's worth down well the pocket collapse right away really nothing Peyton Manning could do Shawn Phillips 55 gets inside he's fresh and fast and he made it happen now they had CJ Anderson come up with the save on a fourth down run but can they give Peyton time gym to hang in there and make this throw to the first down marker hurry up hurry up and they stay on the field for the name [Music] very deep trying to make the second effort where will they spot it I think he's got it it's a fake Pig to go outside for CJ Anderson and he cut it back inside boy I thought the guy on the sideline far sideline was going to have him for the first but they moved it back he might be short here Phil where's the spot where is the knee down that's the question of [Music] course you could always challenge the spot of the football and you always hope Jim that it's near yard marker so you can have something to really look up inches short and really if your Denver you've got a challenge if this is your only hope let's bring in my Carrie [Applause] there's the knee down looks like number 55 their appointment was a really good spot it is being challenged that's confirmed hard to draw any fast conclusions from the end zone perspective but they'll be other looks coming up Denver challenging the ruling on the field of the forward progress spot [Applause] I don't see any possible way John Fox and the Broncos are gonna win this challenge because looking down the line first off here's the yard where it is but if you look to the top of the screen after enduring the play the ruling on the field is confirmed Denver will be charged their first timeout first down Indianapolis and the Annapolis takes over with 2:50 to go and up 11 yep they actually got a good mark Jim they probably got the football moved forward more than if it would have been a first down the goats would have challenged it where that was asking an awful lot that play call there to go maybe there were no other options but to go to CJ Anderson in traffic and have to get by two or three defenders and work out the last four yards to pick it up for a first down he almost got there in fact though in the Indianapolis defense down in time [Applause] we got two timeouts and John Fox I'll use them bolt right here two timeouts then the two-minute warning so pretty good chance his offense can get one more shot I've got the subway postgame show with j-b Tony Bart Homer and coach Cowher highlights an analysis of this game and a look ahead the conference championship weekend coming up on the subway postgame show the Denver does not win this game it's going to spawn now all kinds of speculation about what is the future not only for the Broncos franchise but specifically people gonna be wondering about Peyton Manning well yeah rightly so he's been in the league so long and just think of this year Jim what a you know when you think about coming back to play another year it's a long process the offseason training camp and think about this year got hurt it was tough for this team down the stretch they found a way to get in this position [Applause] and Aaron's yard shy of the first you know we talked to Peyton a little bit about this on Friday it's just about what are your future plans and you know he had been asked that question about a month ago I said I'm definitely coming back next year but he actually told us that I'm gonna wait to see I can't really in my heart tell you anything for sure right now but but my intention is to play but things have changed since I last said that you know he knows that Adam GaSe is probably gonna be gone to a head coaching position does he want to come back next year and have to go to a whole new offensive coordinator again that process you've got three agents on this team like Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas Terrance Knighton so this team roster could take on a whole different look well I think those things going to take into account all the changes that are probably going to happen happen coaches free agent money to try to play to pay some of their free agents and definitely a change for him with a new different offensive guard advantage gets a job and they get Payton on the field here head of events Gotham on third and - yesterday - they plugged the middle so fourth down coming up tonight on CBS 60 minutes Bhama by new episodes of Madam Secretary and The Good Wife only CBS another thing about the Colts let's just talk about them because what an outstanding job by them Jim we've done a few of their games this year this team that we've watched the last two weeks weeks do you recognize it it did can you just see it with your own eye what a difference they have been on both sides of the football to think we saw him week 16 down at Dallas and against Pittsburgh two-minute warning and looking ahead to next weekend's conference championship action on the subway postgame show two minutes to go punting situation for Indianapolis [Applause] McAfee since the hop he wasn't wanting so a net of 26 152 to go and no timeouts remaining in the Broncos yeah now a situation like this Jim now you have to almost force the issue you got to take a chance and you gotta just hope somehow you could find a way to get down the field kick a field goal of course score touchdown would be great at least you'd like the chance to have an onside kick to see if you could pull this game out so unluck amping it up on the sidelines with pep hamilton and luck a minute 52 seconds away from being the only quarterback on Championship Weekend who has not won a Super Bowl as he got already Russell Wilson Rogers and Brady [Applause] hates bass complete that the merriest Thomas we've got a Colt defender down backup now it stole her who again battled knee issues all week long and did not have a full week of practice though the Colts could call a timeout to keep him in the game because he's very important and especially the way he's played today he's been outstanding already brought in Josh Gordy charged a timeout they're the Colts as you see QWERTY hum antenna he's heading over to match up against the Marius [Applause] [Music] yet at least Apple by Davis who's had a very strong game yep coverage has been good the tackling has been great and even here in the situation like that it's very difficult for Denver as it's been our day-long second of nine for something that will consume a lot of time all these planes to the court for so long for the Denver Broncos screams all the short throws the picks none of it has been productive today 36 going to pick up the first down Anderson should head to the sidelines steadies tackle down up to 45 well I would say if you can get one more play if somebody can get out of bounds if you get in field goal range I would try a long field goal and the spike by Payton with 34 seconds [Music] bacon comes over to get a work from the sideline and all new tonight is 60 minutes Madam Secretary and The Good Wife on America's most watched network we don't know what watching here still we're looking at one of the greatest players in the history of the game 17 years yep peyton manning 34 seconds to go in this one does if there's ever after this thing for him as he's sacked by Walden [Applause] you know Jim and everybody's gonna save and his games over all credit to the Colts but for Peyton Manning this loss will not really dampen anything did I think about him he's been an unbelievable player in this league today he's a coach for just a better football team and the game is over the Colts have advanced to the AFC Championship game it's going to be Andrew Luck against Tom Brady next Sunday until that Stadium [Applause] well you have to wonder is this the last time we'll see paint man on the field we're going to hear that question a lot here in the coming days if it is it would tremendously great ride that's for sure check the gun I was looking around trying to find pate and he got there [Music] that was second half of the season for dipper if we saw him up if you ain't but early November after that it was a loss to st. Louis it was a change of velocity and then paint battled sickness at San Diego by injury there that he later discovered there's a thigh on the other leg and the second half of the year this wasn't the same football team it was not the same on the offensive side they tried to change but quite honestly coming in today's game I thought we were going to see old off its it didn't happen but again I'm giving the credit to the Colts what they did their defense look good I'm hoping to Beck's wearing credit [Music] Andrew Luck will be taking on New England next Sunday they met on November the 16th in Indianapolis and that's the game you recall where Jonas Gray broke loose for a hundred and 99 yards and four touchdowns for the Patriots in a 42 to 20 victory [Applause] the Broncos the AFC champions a year ago eliminated this year in the divisional round as Indianapolis is the only road team winner this weekend we'll join James Brown in New York in just a moment you've been watching the NFL on CBS
