2014 Week 12 - Lions @ Patriots

you can always take layers off but if you show up without layers and then it's called then you're in trouble 57 I mean the weather is ridiculously nice well it's about 23 degrees colder on Friday watching the Patriots practice so we've got a beautiful day here for football yeah we'll see how these two get along and as Kurt said at the beginning of our telecast it's very good and top-ranked defense of Detroit against the high scoring offense Patriots won the toss they deferred Lions will start 220 is Jeremy Ross takes a knee in the end zone and the seven and three Matthew Stafford led Detroit Lions come to the field offensively and there you go fastest to 20-plus thousand yards took him only 71 games he hit that big year in 2011 but the numbers in the offensive stats have not been there really for the Lions under first-year coordinator Joe Lombardi well a lot of moving parts a lot of guys have been in and out of the lineup key players for this Lions offense Reggie Bush missing again here this afternoon for the last five games Bell starts in the backfield quick throw and that's tape Golden Tate what a start is ripped out of bounds out across the 40 they're gonna mark them into 44 and for a guy who was only targeted two times out in Arizona and a lot of grumbling about that first play here you go yeah targeted two times and caught both of those passes good things happen when you get the ball into gold and Tate's hands and you start to think as inconsistent as this offense has been where would they be without gold and tape and he has stepped up and has been a really solid player for this team they will champion see what's a year ago here's a handoff to Bell and joint Capello right up the middle stopped with a gain of four how about some other faces and names on the offense for Detroit around Matthew Stafford we just saw left tackle Reilly Reef limp away and with that Cornelius Lucas is taken over left tackle do you see Calvin Johnson who's missed three games so the numbers are down but he's getting healthier and on the sidelines second and six [Applause] Stanford out to his right now he just throws it away we look defensively Troy at this group and as we look at some of the faces and names in question is always how is Bill Belichick in a plan how will they handle Calvin Johnson Golden Tate his defenses play well the last couple weeks well they have and the one thing that we know from Bill Belichick is that he focuses all week on taking the one thing away that the offense wants to do you've got to believe that when you look at this Lions offense with Alvin Johnson playing today but that's going to be the focal point then for this Patriots defense just got it away on third down Pass is beautiful and caught by Tait he's got two catches spinning as he hauled it in a 17 yard completion working against Darrelle Revis well Darrelle Revis is so accustomed when he was at Tamplin when he see when he was with the New York Jets of going to the number one wide receiver each and every week that's not the case here in New England we see he's lined up on this play against Golden Tate Brandon browner was lined up on Calvin Johnson but that will have different looks as we move through this game [Applause] here's to that and the kid who played at Wayne State joint Bell guy who was a security guard while at Wayne State and then was a security guard in training camp for the Lions just be loved in Detroit is up the mill for three second and seven coming up last week joique Bell had a season-high 85 yards and it was the best running game that the Lions have had but I didn't think the offensive line played well at all in that loss to the Arizona Cardinals a good part of his yards was really him getting those on his own here's two spinning Patrick Child was there to meet him a gain of one as they continue on the sidelines to work on the left tackle Riley Reef here's what happened to them on that first play see that right leg buckle and give out whether it's the ankle the knee who knows first round pick out of Iowa now third and six Stafford and a good play defensively by Revis trying to get it into Golden Tate and Darrell ticker of the season for Detroit the longtime Bronco called baller last year [Applause] is used to the stadium and drills it and a good start for this Detroit offense in the top spot in the NFC North he and Tate hook it up to help pick up three well if you're Detroit and want to come in here and validate yourselves as a top-flight team good luck Patriots have won 14 straight here to take on Tom Brady at home he just doesn't lose tall task as Prater drives it lamendola is there and so now tom brady and we look at number 12 on an incredible roll after that too and to start that's what he's done at home three times Super Bowl champ 24 touchdowns five picks and a quarterback rating of over 100 of 102 14 years ago today as a rookie Tom Brady made his NFL game debut [Applause] side lacell and the new top big white out for Tom Brady and that seems to change year by year is good for seven just take a look at some of the names and faces coy and who do you focus on I know you like the tight end it makes you think a Novacek this is Ron Kowski he's playing awfully well he's finally healthy I just thought it was impressive when Tom Brady says he's playing the best he's ever seen to just get back to the lodge that was well-covered Bluebird Quint was out there with Anza and so now third down and three and here is the top-ranked defense what do you like about I like everything about him toe the real key to this defense is at front seven they do what great defenses do they play hard they don't make mistakes great tacklers penalty flag on the play was thrown by the referee could be a hold and may erase a first now leaguer using that hands hands to the face offense number 76 10-yard penalty we're down to get Vollmer and that takes the first-down away that's Tony currenty who is our referee today and here's the penalty out on the edge number 76 working against Jones not much yeah not much there let's air it all on Ziggy Ansah he's getting checked out over there on the sidelines take a look and see what happened to him it happened right at the end of the play when he was trying to make the tackle we're down 13 I'm a friend illness Manning the dials down in the audio booth you can hear Tom Brady's sake grunt get on get on the line of scrimmage and it's fourth down that's an excellent job by this Detroit Lions defense as you see the job that they're able to do on Gronkowski Tom Brady works the middle of the field which is where they had to go there was help on the outside with the wide receivers catches Vaughn in coverage it's an excellent job aided by the penalty on Ballmer but getting off the field raus waiting for the punt that's it not too pretty and maybe a little that room is gone nice nice play by Matthew Slater and just a four yard return for the Lions good start defensively habit of three along without producer Ritchie science our director rich true-self back at Gillette Stadium second possession for the Lions Riddick in the backfield next to Matthew Stafford Calvin Johnson he has got the big body of Brandon browner on em all six four of them there aren't quarterbacks in the NFL that are six four well I think that's why they're trying to match up right now at least in the early going as I said there will be times watching them and practice work Darrelle Revis will be on him and bringing it and we're to see Brandon browner but that's that's a lot of what we see did you see now Darrelle Revis is lining up across them but there is help with the safety his ballot the defensive back that's Browder and he rides him out of bounds with a gain of four and let's go to Curt Menefee with a game room first touchdown of the day and well this is pretty easy to be the first touchdown because they count on the opening kickoff in Philadelphia Josh 107 guards from the score 10th touchdown by unit other than the Eagles offense already this season and they just scored again seconds ago so it's 13 nothing they lead to the seat Joe Toye our special teams for the Eagles notes by coach Pitts that's the best of it yeah well I know who's going to be special teams coach of the year that's a no-brainer getting set and brought down by a key mares and what a pickup he was that sack number three [Applause] well Riley reef he's out of the game and so Cornelius Lucas you're gonna see the move that's made by Aires he gets him going think he's going to try to the speed rush on the outside it's an excellent job by Aires knowing he's going up against a young player rookie free agent and gets a sack on Matthew staff we talked about the feet of a big guy that's what separates what a move wire Deering takes it back out to the 14 after a 53-yard punt Nilka deuce was the first guy there right in his face Patriots handed down by three did you get into the Bunker Hill museum as well Troy or was it just the JFK missile here's a handoff and right into the waiting arms of Ziggy Ansah and Adamic ensue is mr. Perrine and Shane loses five that about as ugly a running play as you'll see second and 15 well you're not going to get a whole lot of running yards against this defense they're awfully good against the rock [Applause] [Music] - near whitehead the middle linebacker who's out there and this was an opportunity grand Kowski just couldn't hold a boy get a rope you don't see that very often from Rob Gronkowski who we have talked about and the fact that he has really come on here in the last several weeks but to me he's the real advantage that the Patriots have right now because of house how stroller this defense is some of the things that I did pass is caught by screen but in about two-tenths of a second Brady was in a gain of five it's worn down look at this by soon dyma can suit comes right up the middle the offensive line I got the wide receiver screen so they know the ball is going to come out quick which the King allow Tom Brady to be hit like that only sacked five times during the six game win streak but a lot of that has been because Brady gets the ball out of his hands quick back-to-back three and outs for New England into the corner he gets off of beauty what a play by Alan he's pumping his fist going down the field that was all Ryan Allen as he got the short hop snap and hit a 65 yarder three nothing Lyons Brian Allen a second-year pro from Louisiana Tech just saved the Patriots points and then hit a 65 yarder Stafford and traffic on it goes sacked in its min kovitch and that's the second and Stafford gets up and looks to be shaken up a loss of 8 on the right side of that offensive line for Detroit you see the pressure that New England was able to bring Rob mink a right in the middle of that pocket for Matthew Stafford it's a great job of applying pressure on him then kovitch leads this defense with six outs second of the day Aires has the other [Applause] not much 30 long coming up a gain of just two and you start talking about flippin field position again not to make too much of it but Ryan Allen is single-handedly responsible for that well you said he saved points by fielding the bad snap he is he save points on flipping field position also assuming the Patriots are able to make a stop here on third down because when you're cutting from your own end zone you're the opposing offense you're not expecting to start to drive on the court now third and 16 good pocket backs incomplete for Calvin Johnson the closest to it and the shake of the head for Matthew Stafford is the frustration offensively continues for Detroit well now what we've seen here in this first quarter Brandon browner lining up for the most part on Calvin Johnson he's a big physical coroner as you said we know the size advantage typically the Calvin Johnson has now the Patriots are given a little help from the safety before they've done a nice job pretty good pun here Edelman dirty and is that across 435 but again circle this one the work done by the punter Brian Allen on the bad snap and 65 yards to Ross those moments are few and far between but Allen loved it so Jonas Gray missed practice on Friday showed up late was sent home after becoming the cover boy in Sports Illustrated after his big day last week here's a look back at across the 50 Jonah's grain last week 37 carries 201 yards at Indianapolis and four touchdowns begins sent home from practice on Friday and so now being resigned is LeGarrette 1 he was in there on this completion to Brandon LaFell I had an opportunity to talk with Tom Brady and asked him if he thought LeGarrette Blount would be a factor in this game he lit up and he said oh he absolutely will be pass is behind four and so let that be a lesson kids act your way off one team and then get picked up by a better one well like you said I'm in a class an unbelievable game that being Jonas gray last week 201 yards rushing that was his coming-out party he misses practice he over sleeps doesn't get to the facility on time he's been over there on the sidelines standing next to Bill Belichick and and now LeGarrette Blount got a new lease on life after being released by the Steelers because he walked off the field early and he's secured it going to the ground what a grab by Julian Edelman a gain of five and you think about Julian Edelman from the time he came into this league as a guy who had never played wide receiver and what he is now doing six years later they keep this very little he doesn't do he lines up outside inside you line up in the backfield he'll run reverses he does it all they're down in five inside the 35 not a big body they list him at 510 200 a gain of 10 and it's a first third down as the Patriots from coming off their first back-to-back three announce to start a game all year we're in the no huddle and Brandon LaFell out of wide receiver a hard time picking up the play he was able to get any play in there by Brady Brady was looking his way first came the fell inside the 25 the game breaks coming up Curt Menefee will give it to you all right here's something we haven't seen in a while Matt Ryan 24 yard touchdown pass to Julio Jones Julio's first touchdown since week three with a run out of seven over Cleveland Jojo and Aaron all you fantasy owners that gave up on Julio Jones you didn't start it there's Grady wanna throw the fastball from Brady and 14 yards for a first down now the Lions are playing too deep coverage with their safety so you work the middle of the field he could have gone to Gronkowski or he works the other side in the middle to Julian Edelman excellent job Rainey recognizing coverage the New England offense looks like it's getting on a roll kind of got him on the ropes right now they're running an up-tempo a lot of offenses do but Tom Brady does an excellent job now this is where the lines have been good not allowing many running touchdowns in this area only four all year chance for a touchdown and that ball had some heat on it from Brady Edelman couldn't haul in and it's Julian Edelman who's replaced Welker in this offense and backed when he first came into the league they casually referred to him as a poor-man's Wes Welker he didn't like the comparison because Walker had accomplished so much you don't see him drop many like that either [Applause] right [Applause] looks like they Josh Bynes here he doesn't work to the middle you're gonna see is Tim right works off the line of scrimmage nobody then goes to his direction so free release off the line no interference by the linebacker just a break in coverage how can you trade Logan Mankins they did for the start of the year they got from Tampa Bay and that's touchdown number five and he was just left wide wide open in the back of the endzone well that's what the Patriots can do they did they just stress a defense the up-tempo you're not able to make a lot of checks you got to be somewhat basic then and what you're trying to do but if you're going to give help to the outside you open up some of those inside throws that we saw Brady take advantage of that's and that's an excellent job offensively of finishing off the drive with a touchdown nine plays on that drive eight of them pass play so they ran it only once Logan Mankins was a first-round pick in 2005 August of this year traded to Tampa Bay for Tim Ryan who just got the touchdown the six-time Pro Bowler that kind of shook things up here and after because of injury because of the trade and moving guys around on the offensive line this is now the fourth straight game with the same starting offensive line in the same spots and it's finally taken hold here with the Patriots you're going to be good you've got to have a solid offensive line you don't allow Tom Brady to do what he does five different offensive line combinations in the first seven weeks of the season as you said consistency up front and we've seen the production come from that offensively [Applause] Lyons now trailing seven to three we'll start at the 20 well the Patriots have made it a habit what they're trying to do today and that is beat division leaders meeting Cincinnati week five beating the Broncos easily week nine and then just taking apart the Colts last week now they're taking on Detroit leading the NFC North and Bill Belichick usually has no issues with NFC teams [Applause] against the NFC since this stadium became the home of the Patriots in 2002 leading today 73 Georgetown is going to get it out to the 26 yard line and his choice said early inactive yet again as Reggie Bush for the fourth time in the last six games with an ankle injury and they miss it well they do miss him they missed the things that he's able to create you know as we see Reggie Bush I got a short week to come back they play on Thanksgiving Day their annual hosted of that game and Joe Lombardi their offensive coordinator calling plays for the first time in the national colleague trying to get some kind of consistency without key guys playing each and every week Barty cutters cheat with Sean Payton and the Saints and joy Bell has got a first down for more on Reggie Bush down to Erin Andrews yeah I was talking to Joe Lombardi before the game about Reggie Bush and he said early in the week they were very optimistic that he was going to give it a go this weekend and play but they said as the week went on they just found out that ankle was not doing well he said he is confident that he will go this Thursday in this coming Thursday on Thanksgiving against the Bears but like you guys mentioned they need him that they do because he opens up space doing threat that was here a year ago on first down trying to establish the ground game Bell is going to carry up the middle and pick up four this is a ground game that has not been doing ranked 30th in the NFL the arts brushed is 3.2 rushing arts per game under 80 again those are hard yards that we're seeing right now in Detroit Bell I mentioned last week's game against the Cardinals how he earned all those yards that he got when you're running in the middle of this defense for the Patriots and Vince Wilfork and the rest of that group that's tough to come by the Matteson those with good yards right there by Bell on first down [Applause] this time back to the line of scrimmage that's it Patrick Chung up from the safety spot third and six coming up patrick chong he began his career here with the Patriots he's back for another spin and he's actually done a nice job they like him around the box you'll see him down there frequently throughout the ball game get involved in the run defense was excellent job everybody up on the line of scrimmage Stanford slides away and still on his feet behind the line of scrimmage and a big completion that's Calvin Johnson his first catch of the day and a gain of 15 what a job by Matthew Stafford it's a great job right from the snap he wanted to work Calvin Johnson but the safety has continually given him a little bit of help Matthew Stafford has to keep the play alive he finishes off with the completion it's a great job and there's another side arm sling from Stafford as we go to the second back after this from your local Fox station where that was a nice completion from Matthew Stafford to Calvin Johnson to the first down at the end of the first quarter they're the numbers after one first down at the 49 just across midfield play action he's got his gun take Golden Tate big first half and he's knocked out of bounds inside the 10 Devin McCourty finally forces him out after a catch and run of 42 this time the Patriots a play zone coverage and they are unable to account for Golden Tate so he starts to one side of the formation he works across on a deep crossing route they turn him loose big gain for the line how about Taney's over a thousand yards for the season this guy's this guy's really something special I would have loved and I had guys like him he's a special player he's better on Sunday than what you would think you'd be watching them practice there's one floated before and we're gonna get a whole defensively [Music] Joseph Fourier whose dad Christian was a tight end with the Patriots was holding defense number 23 with the Jersey grab his half the distance to the goal first up is Patrick Chung again they'd finally get 48 involved in the offense he missed six games before returning last week and this is where he's really at his best is down here in the red zone he's a big target they're trying to work him there in the end zone and they get Patrick Chung for the hole yeah seven touchdowns a year ago as a Wilke only 18 catches as well and joy is gonna be down near the one maybe just inside the to play made by Devon 142nd and gold about this Drive Joe you know this is a Lions team that bill he hasn't played many games with a lead in the first half they've had some slow starts they've won games coming from behind you don't want to do that against this New England team they start off this game up three zip the wing one answers gets the touchdown needed something from their offense and they're answering here second a goal pass Rivas in Midland third goal coming up and when I said 4ei uncle Christian not dad and we'll see where the Lions want to go on third and goal as they trail here by four well talking with Darrelle Revis he said this is the most talent he's had on a team since his high school state championship team at Aliquippa high school there in Pennsylvania guys come to work they work hard each day he does a great job on that play against Calvin Johnson great Chung and coverage so they did go to juice it for ei and Chung was there and knock it away it's 4th down and they line him up in the slot so you've got a lot of room they're trying to run a natural pick he's got a chance to make a play it's a well-designed play by Joe Lombardi a perfect throw by Matthew Stafford and one that Joe for EA's got to be able to make and you just wonder if the six-game layoff didn't get much action last week if if he's a little rusty but you got to make those plays boy what an opportunity missed by Detroit you could see the look on Stafford that said this was just inside the left upright a 20-yard herb operator to the defense for the Patriots it holds up one-point game in Foxboro Patriots Hall of Fame there are the three Lombardi trophies won by Bill Belichick in obviously Tom Brady with the cast changing totally different tennis now as Martin kicks it away and Ola pass some road gets around footrace gets a block chased down outside of the twine [Applause] 81 yards from Danny Amendola that's an excellent job of using his blockers but there's some poor angles he's one on one on the punter or excuse me the kicker and that's what you want as a returner some opportunities to get him on the ground sooner than they were able to but just an excellent job by Amendola of getting a big return for this Patriots team with one in the backfield they fake it to handler to look back with a first down inside the 10 16 yards to Brandon LaFell he's got five touchdowns on the year and came in with 39 catches and developing more and more chemistry in his first year with Tom Brady [Applause] it was sooo flying across a line of scrimmage again encroachment defense number 90 this was the goal which is this six four three hundred five pounder too quick on that last play the powerful guy anticipates snap counties right over the ball he gets corns this time by Tom Brady who does an excellent job with the hard count knowing that you have to be able to neutralize this defensive front and you're able to do that when you're playing at home ball is at the three first and goal [Applause] by the Steelers on Tuesday signed here on Thursday and into the end zone on Sunday I think this is really why they brought him in he was outstanding for this team last year but at 250 pounds even though Jonas gray is a big physical runner himself he's 20 pounds lighter than LeGarrette Blount so you're able to run right into the teeth of this Lions defense with LeGarrette Blount it's an excellent job one last year had seven touchdowns in the regular season and then followed that up with a 166 yards for touchdown game against Indianapolis in the playoffs Amendola set it up Patriots offense did the rest of baby why not bring him back he inside a two-year deal in Pittsburgh is signed him to a two-year deal here in New England with some free agency coming up they could hit this running back for hard at the end of the year and the Lions down by eight will start at the 20 big week coming up for college football rivalries TCU battles Texas ballad on Friday by Arizona State against Arizona on Saturday how about this Notre Dame taking on you as see it all begins Thanksgiving Day on foxsports1 Fox and streaming live on Fox Sports go UCLA or Bruins beat the Trojans last night 38 their little love for the pros love for the Bruins in Jim Mora we're on a little hot streak against this second corner as you can see by the numbers has been dominated by the Patriots best second quarter team in the joy goes out to the 25 you think back to that last drive there by New England it is absolutely deflating Joe for 18 the Lions drive down the field they have to settle for a field goal then they kick off and the Patriots are set up deep in their territory to come away with a touchdown it's asking a lot of your defense to be able to make a stop the New England Patriots now for the last three games are 11 of 12 in the red zone and they've been exceptional when they've gotten the ball down around the goal eleven times they fake it to him pass is caught and a nice throw by stafford the rolling first down catch by Jeremy Ross let's check in with Calvin Johnson and the attention he's received well he Brandon browner has been on him most times we saw Darrelle Revis on him once there in that first quarter but there is some help that's being provided by the safeties and so Golden Tate the tight ends Eric Ebron he's healthy again he's on the field and he start working some of those guys only one catch 16 yards for Johnson standing his balinese wrapped up by Dante Hightower nope game here's Joel Klatt with a game break all right guys let's go out to Minnesota Teddy Bridgewater he's gonna find Charles Johnson that's Bridgewater's 50 ve thrown a TD in each of his last five games by the way Charles Johnson originally drafted by the Packers that game is tied up at 7 Joe Troy and Erin yeah and everybody's talking about the Packers and how hot they are no doubt they still have some questions defensively play man he's moving in he's been so alive seven ago Stafford's underneath yep Casillas and one of the pickups by the Patriots in season makes a nice tackle a loss of three you see Calvin Johnson 81 and they're still trying to work the ball to him they're working that side of the field either take the shot on the corner route to Calvin Johnson you got Golden Tate working to the sidelines the secondary is who's been glued pretty tight and we've seen Golden Tate get some opportunities and he's done a nice job here in this first half I just think one of these tight ends have to be a contributor here this afternoon they're down at 12 just Canada and down goes Stafford ninka [Applause] third time he's been sacked and in kovitch came through basically untouched a flag is thrown and we'll check it as the offense stays out there they might have been hold on Dante defense number [Applause] so forget the sack the automatic first down and it's against Jamie Colin well what freeze mincha is right here he's going to loop around in the hold there on Dominic Raiola you know that's why I Ola is unable to free himself up to pick up the game and that's what happens a lot the referees don't always catch that that's an excellent job on their part of recognizing the stunts and the twist by the Patriots which kept Raiola from being able to make a block so it's a defensive hold an automatic first down the ball just outside the 40 there's tape and Golden Tate with a nice carries got another first down when he ran into the body of Devin McCourty and this is obviously a game for tape we've seen Calvin Johnson basically shut down and you're still waiting for a tight end to step forward for Detroit that really hasn't happened all year because of all the injuries you know I mean when they came into the season what Joe Lombardi wanted to do was run a lot of two tight ends three tight in sets and they just haven't been able to do it so Golden Tate has been the one constant throughout this season Stanford airs it out downfield the pass is incomplete a flag is down Courtis fuller the intended target here's a call offside defense number 91 in the neutral zone at the snap 5-yard penalty repeat first down it's Jamie Collins this is a defense and lost your odd mayo and on IR with a knee middle of October here's the end of the play a free play and fuller was in a good position couldn't make the catch yeah.he they've had a couple of those now we saw 40 aim is the one for a touchdown now fuller misses that one a couple penalties on Jamie Collins I think they got the wrong guy called unless Jamie Collins had a penalty on the one but there was a hold along that defensive front that we pointed out on Dominic Raiola there's on first and five again of just one with Casillas in there to help on the time so the Lions now they've been able to keep this drive alive they've gotten a few penalties and giving themselves an opportunity but when you're looking at a 14-6 deficit in the second quarter and you know this Patriots offense has been very productive here in recent weeks I think as an offense you've got to realize you got to keep serve Patriots are averaging ten penalties a game which is the second most of the NFL averages eight second and four Stafford Pass incomplete takes looking for a flag won't get it covered by Revis 34 a lot of contact with Darrelle Revis and Golden Tate you see is Bates trying to come out of that break very easily could have been called Darrelle Revis has been an excellent addition to this defense and quarterbacks are completing less than 50% when they go in his direction he's a hard guy to get three from Burton floor not on the Senate page two and throttled it down and Stafford leading him down the sideline its fourth down and frustration for Stafford I like what Detroit tried though you know I mean knowing that you've got safety help on Calvin Johnson nothing new I mean he sees it each and every week but it's hard then to throw the deeper routes even though he's such a big play thrown down the field that you run the crossing routes and that time they did with Calvin Johnson but a miscommunication on the other end Martin will hit it Edelman waits for it the end over end kick Edelman will let it go checks up inside the 10 and down by fuller after a 33 yard bundle Larkin at the 6 where the Patriots have it up baby well still just one catch for 16 yards for Calvin Johnson on the other side with a diverse attack of the New England Patriots week to week you just don't know where it's going to come from Jonas gray still I am done to care if the offensive series we haven't seen that belongs in the bathroom [Applause] Edelman and Julian Edelman out of Bounce the last week Troy they added their offensive line and they just pound it down the throats of the Indianapolis Colts the big game for Jonas Gray they had Cameron Fleming in there is an extra tackle he's not active today still bothered by the fingernail and ankle and here they are they've thrown at 15 times they've only run the ball three times in this entire first half now this both sides of the ball show the Patriots offensive Dillian defensively ref is very personal how they play fighting to the 25 there's not many I mean a lot of coaches want to do it I mean Bill Belichick that's been what he's known for throughout his career as a coach whether it was a defensive coordinator with the Giants or as a head coach here with the New England Patriots he's going to do what he has to do that gives him the best chance to win this is the best run defense in all football so last week 250 yards rushing this week to do that so now they come out throwing the football Tom Brady wins his way to the 35 you remember Bill Belichick back in Detroit down to 1976 Lyons assistant special teams coach 77 wide receivers and tight ends coach first job was the year before all that in 75 for the Baltimore Colts 15th year in New England he's won three championships nice catch lapel did he secure it he did first down New England 13 yards to the fell and of course that was all there at the feet of his father Steve Belichick at the Naval Academy so he's been around sport a long long time you see at the end of that play CJ Mosley comes in and gets a shot on Tom Brady nice gauge so far from the fact second and 10 coming up the speaking of CJ Mosley a guy who when we were over in London got sent home he has had to step in because Nick Fairley got hurt in that game against the Falcons and they haven't missed a beat Joe I mean a defense that's been good all season long their run defense really has gotten better since Nick barely wind down not all because of CJ Mosley a lot of guys playing and and he's slow to get up it was levy out there on the edge and elements seems to be okay we'll watch this on number 11 that is helmet the helmet have a seat there's no quitting DeAndre levy either and if you're gonna run or fake reverse you'd better be prepared to take a hit now third down and he's got a first down how much would you love to have a guy like Julian Edelman scooting around on your offense I liked it better when Julian Edelman was your third receiver he's done an outstanding job in whatever his role has been but when he's been your third guy being you've got Randy Moss and you've got some other complimentary receivers you're able to work the middle of the field with a guy like Julian Adler that's a great matchup - brain and Shane is going to pick up more blood down by to hear Whitehead I mean you can see Adelman come to the sidelines after the cash kind of shake out the neck and the cobwebs after that hit on the previous play he was a college her excuse me he was a quarterback in college at Kent State so for all those that think quarterbacks are tough Edelman's proved Ross real problem the lungs I don't really well [Applause] since I got the booth yeah absolutely don't we all second and six hands Gronkowski he's down inside the 25 and that since first catch of the game good for 15 Rob Gronkowski pretty simple just comes off the line of scrimmage he's in a slump position free release and nobody who really works his way and I can assure you that if he doesn't draw more attention than that he's going to have a lot of time first down Iran who displayed [Applause] and they'll set up first and goal after a catch and run of 16 Shane Vareen is so good coming out of the backfield you think about when Steven Ridley was lost for the season it really wanted everybody to remain in their roles they wanted Vereen to be the guy who comes out in the back wheel catches the ball and that's really why they activated Jonas gray to be the workhorse on first and second down and keep Vereen in the wall that he has been [Applause] two for two in the red zone on the Patriots and up to Bruin he swallowed up by white head and a loss of three but as you said this is a Patriots offense that at least lately when they get down into the red zone they don't miss getting it into the end zone and this is the Lions defense that's been good and keeping teams from getting into the end zone that's the difference in this game lines have had to settle for field goals Patriots have come away with touchdown second and goal until conduce is underneath it it almost got his hands on it looking for LaFell well that's another reason why this line of defense has been good down here in the red zone they've been able to create some take aways last week Josh Bynes he's able to intercept the ball against Cruz stand in the Arizona Cardinals have an opportunity to make a play here and not give up any points just off the fingertips [Applause] this number one ranked defense the Lions they need to make a play here [Applause] we ready we're not steps up he's got his gun [Applause] he came in with four he's got two today initially and Bradys wanted to work Gronkowski across the field but because there was no inside pressure and Brady's able to step up in the pocket the safety completely loses it's Quinn who turns Tim right loose and Brady would time is able to find him in that it they'll Brady with time with the eyes going all around and just finding the guy who's left wide open 21:06 first career multiple touchdown game for Tim Wright I'd say he's in a better spot now the former ear now catching passes from Tom Brady whose team is up by 15 did you ever hear of Tim white right before this season started he was down in Tampa Bay as we mentioned was traded here to New England and what a game he's already had seven straight game and multiple touchdown passes for Tom Brady and with this offense right now everybody talking about Green Bay and rightly so in the NFC but how about in the AFC I think we're looking at the best team that the American Football Conference has to offer they're playing here at Gillette Stadium where they're almost unbeatable so in this 15-point game we'll welcome you back inside the booth and the question for you is pretty simple what's going on with the Detroit Lions offense with all these weapons with Matthew Stafford first-year coordinator a lot of questions and it's been a bad start well it has not been a good start you're right it hasn't really been a good year in terms of offense for the Lions and that's as I said because they've had so many different injuries they haven't been able to even practice with a lot of these guys with a new offense but go right now Tom or excuse me Joe right now talking about Tom Brady and what he's been able to do offensively this is a defense that is only given up 21 points three times this season and yet here the Patriots have 21 points in the first half there's Riddick a nice run on first down he picks up nine and we'll see if Detroit can come up with an answer they've obviously got their three timeouts and the two-minute warning here is they trailed by 15 now it's kind of an important drive and this is this is a time of the game where the Lions are pretty good and Matthew Stafford Stafford is especially good really good at the end of ball games but getting this hurry up offense right now they're gonna let it run down to the two-minute warning that's respect in it I think that's more respect for Brady and the Patriots offense but they just gave away 20 seconds on the clock not a lot of confidence and you're often warning here in Foxborough follow your favorite team all season long go to iTunes dot-com slash NFL second down and one as the Lions just let valuable seconds tick away setting up a screen they do for Rick get the first down nice move Theo Riddick is out across the 45 you got the game winner the touchdown catch against the Miami Dolphins a couple of weeks ago and just makes a nice catch and run of 19 yards sure does and they they needed that and Rob Simms their left guard does an excellent job and Theo Riddick helps read that block and picks up a nice gain on second short Riddick stays in there three timeouts left for Detroit here's our athletic flies with Arrington and coverage [Music] illegal contact defense number 25 five-yard penalty simple out there it came out early that flag was being thrown long before the end of the play as you saw there was a little bit more contact pala larrington coming off a heck of a game last week against the Indianapolis Colts but that's the one-on-one matchup because again safety working over to Calvin Johnson you've got to be able to get the ball to other guys and that time Jeremy Ross had an opportunity to get the penalty fourth penalty on the Patriots defense [Applause] on first down and the pass incomplete that's Ross on the other side of the field and it was Kyle Arrington and coverage again Tomic ensue with a couple of conversations on the bench is this Lions defense tries to figure out how to slow down Tom Brady and the Patriots offense yeah and Tom Brady being the key because the Patriots haven't they haven't really tried much but they [Applause] second and ten Stafford slings it first down pass is caught by fuller and Cory fuller is up to the 35 now plenty of time with the two big chunks they got the one by Riddick and this last one by fuller first down with just over a minute to go and three timeouts start thinking about using here that shoulder throw and incomplete for fuller that's the guy who has to win Cory fuller at Golden Tate and Calvin Johnson to the opposite side of the formation the safety esteem that way so you've got one on one that's just like in practice that you work on each and every day Cory Fuller who got a lot of opportunities during that time the Calvin Johnson was injured should serve him well not only in this game but as he moves forward through the rest of the year here's the safety again he's working over here towards Calvin Johnson Stafford out too right our chasing an infant pass intended for abran with Patrick Shawn he's been busy there to close down on the play Matthew Stafford can make a lot of did a lot of great throws from a lot of different angles you see doing whatever he can to try to get it there he's being chased by Donte Hightower the linebacker who got three right through the middle of that offensive line [Applause] in town at 35 [Music] Stafford floats it looking for Riddick incomplete we'll see if the liens bring out the field-goal unit and look for three or if by twenty one to six score they're going to try and force it they're going to attempt the field goal 53 yards from this spot well they had an opportunity to do Riddick one-on-one on Jamie Collins just unable to connect my ball came out early Raider suspended the first four games of this season violated IFL substance abuse policy then released and now he's wide left two out of three on the day and 11 out of 15 as a Detroit lion kicking was continue or Detroit still down 15 my disdain from their patriots starting in a hurry here gentlemen but settlements for stand-ins thirty Tony currenty the referee through it and it's a whole holding offense number 77 with [Applause] that's a left tackle he's made all 11 starts Nate's older you see the grab there at the left hand by solder and it eliminates a big gain than by Julian Edelman who got turned loose in that zone coverage the two tackles have made all the starts the interchangeable parts have been on the inside and left guard center and right guard but that offensive line has come together with this group now upfront for Tom Brady and this is why we said you know going toward the two-minute warning Detroit didn't hurry up trying to pick up the first down to use a timeout they didn't want great I need to have time to add to the point total here's what fell wide receiver screen out on the edge of lockers again of pain Whitehead on the stop saw offenses we've talked about to the Patriots they're doing things against this defense adjust nobody has been able to do this season they got a 15-point deficit the Lions do they cannot afford to give up more points to the Patriots here in this first half timeout New England what's coming up at half-time here's curtain coming up with a Visa halftime Josh Gordon makes his return for the Browns Darren Sproles and the Eagles jumped out to a hot start over the Titans and Andrew Luck in the Colts battle the Jags highlights it for wake up on the visa hat side go get him Jimmy nobody has more fun on Sundays and Jimmy Johnson nobody has more fun in life than Jimmie Johnson do kidding me he was mr. giggles back with the Cowboys in the 1900 yeah hey he's a barrel of fun they're second in and a false start full start offense number 19 five-yard penalty that always makes you so happy when a wide receiver is guilty of a false start yeah you know I understand it but you don't like it you know they're supposed to not even hear the snap count just watch the ball but it happens second and 17-7 penalties already instant England night Rita hey let's come in Patriots pick it up from Chomsky spins near the 40 and with 17 seconds left New England hurrying up to the football but calling a timeout well they put levy in a very difficult position because they're playing zone coverage that they released them back out of the backfield he that gets caught a little bit in the middle he decides to shade a little bit then to the back it frees up Gronkowski right in the middle here's levy right in the middle you're gonna see is he shades because the back going out into the flat it opens up that throwing Lane for and Kowski for an easy completion who knew that mr. Kraft Robert Kraft our friend Bob Kraft with Jonathan to his left out right would be a fashion-forward guy the Nike Air Force Ones wearing four comforts turned into a charitable endeavor yeah Bhaskar there is it down inside the 20 and with time outs remaining they'll spend one with four seconds left and try and add three well this is just as an absolute bust in coverage both of these guys go to the flat so they put Edelman in the backfield they release him essentially the same route they ran before with the halfback Gronkowski runs the same route they still don't have an answer for him Gronkowski will set up Gostkowski Brady 21 to 27 233 yards two touchdowns no picks and if he hits this field goal Stephen Gostkowski will be number two all-time on the Patriots scoring list and at some point here if he stays healthy before too long the next few weeks he will become the all-time leading scorer in New England Patriots history now the most points that the Lions have given up all season long was week two to the Carolina Panthers they gave up 24 points and the Patriots on the birds imagine that in the first 30 minutes of play 35 yard try just about automatic and it's twenty four to six with the Patriots looking for their seventh strength by the way all proceeds says they made that sale with Bob Kraft in the Nike she was going to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston what a half for the Patriots he's halftime coming up Donna has been shining on the Patriots pretty much since the start Lyons jumped out to a 3 nothing lead basically all New England after that today's excitement brought to you by Nissan and the numbers for Tom Brady after a half were you worried about Tom Brady and the Patriots after that thrashing on Sunday night at the end of September in Kansas City did you think it was over hey I don't know that I've ever been worried about Tom Brady okay there's not a lot to worry about but it didn't look good you know in that game against Kansas City but yeah hey you have games like that how could you count this team out with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady they seemingly do it every year on a roll looking for seven straight and to start the second half the drive will begin at the 20 and for more after the half here's Erin Andrews yeah and obviously Lions head coach Jim Caldwell and hoped his offense would have come out a lot better a lot sharper as he called it in the first half I asked him how they would try to get Calvin Johnson more involved and he said look we have more guys than him on our offense that can do something we just need someone to catch the ball as for the defense he said we need to hit Tom Brady we're capable of doing it we just haven't done it all day and the defense ranked number one at the start of the day he's gonna have to figure it out this one's against Detroit Jason Jones neutral zone approximate defense number 91 still commercials long pause it off with support of the breaking stance five-yard penalty Jason who missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday had to go back to Nashville his son dealing with an illness didn't talk much about it making the start as he has all year and there's the pressure numbers for Tom Brady has not been sacked first out of five not Gronkowski put on by Rashid Mathis look at the first half numbers in a twenty four to six game there it is in the majority of it for New England through the air just an outstanding job we saw the stats about Tom Brady and the hits and the knockdowns and they have not been able to disrupt the timing and when he has time in the pocket nil out that's what that quarterback getting these great quarterbacks around the league you give him time he's had time our at you Stafford is not that's why you can see on that graphic ten plays it will protect you Artie give him time the big play Carnegie up here settlement who that man Tom Brady calls mini Tron Megatron there's minutes Ron in a minute Ron is out playing I like it though then he tries having a heck of a game eight catches 69 yards sitting down is mr. touchdown today Tim right being a five which i think is really one of the impressive things about Tom Brady and I've talked about it before that you know hey Manny for instance he did it with a group of guys in Indianapolis he's doing it with a different group of guys in Denver Tom Brady has done with a lot of different guys over the years just here in doing it catch made by green Tom Brady doesn't with different guys seemingly every week within the year last seven games have had six different players the Patriots have lead the team in scrimmage yards only Gronkowski two times last week was Jonas Prague we haven't even said his name today you better get a better alarm clock [Applause] and Shane Vareen is good for nine Jonas gray with a 201 yard rushing day at Indianapolis said his phone went dead he missed the alarm and then missed practice and was sent off you know you think if you get used to getting up at a certain time every day you just kind of wake up cuz you're freakin penalty Flags and it'll be third down do you even set an alarm beyond I do I I normally get up before it goes offense offside this 5-yard penalty will create first them another offside and now first down yeah you know in vizima tom brady about last year you know he talked about our last year with challenging you know they really became a running team Bukowski missed a good part of the year Vereen was down and yet for a challenging year they made it all the way to the AFC Championship team he likes his team he's got this year just a further appointment earlier that one's bad about the line of scrimmage he likes it now a lot better that the offensive line is settled down and he can find those guys and use all those different varied weapons that he has and again you just don't know where it's coming from offensively or in the secondary defensively for the Patriots week to week got the rookie there in the middle Brian stork who this time in training camp he's taken over at center down inside the 30 the Lions fans have got to be saying are we going to do this again Detroit got out to a six and three start last year and then lost six out of seven they come in today on top and the NFC North at seven and three they've got a week 17 matchup at Green Bay get three games coming up after today but they'll be favorite I would think good so far there [Applause] is down right with a catch inside the ten put a flag down on the far side of the field 16 yarder - template and randy says it's against Detroit now believe in holding defense number 23 this penalty is declined the result for the play first down looks like initially Tom Brady was trying to work Shane Vareen on an H post they covered up pretty good and then because there's nobody there to take out Brady he was able to buy a little bit of time and your minds made some nice plays in this game back into the redzone section 42 and it's a head of oh the former Patriot and so a turnover that's the first of the day and just the sixth interception thrown by Brady Detroit may have gotten away with one the interception by ahead of all and Alliance takeover there's a must see if you come to Boston John F Kennedy Library and Museum Lions got up he looks to be okay same for Darius sleigh slow down in the backfield the ends up turning it into a one-yard game first guy was Jamie Collins back to the pic and with Josh Bynes he gets away with a hold as we saw going to bring and down here things have been really quick he had a bow it's not accounted for as you see the hold there on Kowski by Bynes could have called pass interference should have called it but Brady did not check out in front of from Kowski to see if there was anybody there to take the makes a start to teach Detroit a lot second down and nine Stafford slings that want to catch a beautiful catch and a nice touch throw from Stafford its Johnson about a yard shy of a first down those are the routes that the Lions have to be able to use in order to free Calvin Johnson up because of the way they're playing in you see them the arm angle then by Matthew Stafford just to try to fit the throw in there and he makes a lot of big throws with that arm all over the place and that was a good chance to finally get Calvin Johnson ball high ankle sprain this three games here's 31 I'm trying to get back into it they carry that is enough for a first down by joint bail tour this has been a good second half team Detroit this is now five games for the Lions where they have won first half touchdown but Jim Caldwell on his first year where the Toyotas watched his offense late win three games to help them along to this first place spot in the NFC North well he's seen it enough times and they never do lose confidence in their ability to come back but visiting with Jim Caldwell about it this week he just said hey you know so many times [Applause] that losses er so Green Bay is rolling they're leading right now 14 to 10 with a game against the Vikings so those two are tied atop the division earlier this year Detroit beat Green Bay nineteen to seven on the 21st of September again they'll meet at Lambeau week 17 next three games for Detroit the good ones for the Lions at home against Chicago and Thanksgiving against Tampa Bay against Minnesota all instead according to pass downfield the tight end is broken a good clean line rebuses Ypres was down there waiting for it [Applause] [Music] and Bill Belichick and Matt Patricia always seemed to have their best on the guy Stanford's looking for well Vince Wilfork he's the one who ruins this play they've got a shot and he brought down the field they get the look they want one-on-one against a guy who can get down the field and go up for the ball even though he is going up against the rail Revis Vince Wilfork where Vladek and he gets a tremendous inside cross to readers 1311 first down yardage is loss depends on the spot and the line judge is going to mark him short there's an injury out on the field that's Arrington big collision with Ross good catch its fourth down for Detroit the Patriots hoping that Kyle Arrington is okay good throw by Stanford good catch Arrington in on the stop I'll check in with Pickering working on the neck of Kyle Arrington has been so good [Applause] banged up on that tackle but his effort stopped the first down so on fourth and one gets it shortly flag is down couple of women it appears to be against New England vines was complaining should erase an 11-yard return hopefully Arrington is okay big part of this secondary format Patricia is back there rubbing his head and obviously Bill Belichick this Lions defense made a play ahead of boat with an interception last time New England had it his second of the year and they're going to have to come up with something again in an 18 point game here's currenty there are two fouls on the play both against the receiving team during the return the kick holding return team number 31 this medal is accepted thank you the other penalty is illegal block in the back return team number 38 and this penalty is declined it'll be first down Murray won't return it's like when you used to do Shakespeare Troy in high school I'm pleased to be or not to be that line plays Patriots have it up 18 [Music] first down from the 25 for New England whiskey whiskey hey Mike heard the word risky and Rita the line of scrimmage operating as what foul makes the cats a gain of nine usually when you use our words like that as you said it came in and they say that that ball was incomplete but when you use our words typically it means that you're directing the offensive line then in the direction of the right and that's one of the code words that helps communicate that as we take a look here on whether the fellows went through and and hit the ground I know in visiting with Tom Brady boy it sure likes Brandon LaFell especially after the ball gets in his hands Carolina Panther Brady flush just got rid of it and he finds right who is good for three big pressure by Jason Jones this is a big third down right now for this Detroit defense they forced three and outs on the first two drives but the New England Patriots since that time they have not been able to stop them without except for the interception to start this half Patriots have been awfully good on third down converted over 70% against this defense including their last five in a row can they do it again they're going to the big one till a family over from when a flag is down on the far side Edelman thinks he was held and if it is defensive hold that's an automatic first down holding defense number 29 first up fascist gone she's gone right here I couldn't really tell if it was if he was pulling them or if Julian Edelman was losing his footing as he went to the ground it was a shot down the field had a step but just overthrown but a costly penalty then one - his bond to help keep this drive alive - the Patriots this Detroit defense came in as the second best third down defense in the NFL as Shane Vareen carries in Hindi on Durand levy team shooting through to make the stop no game now the lion sent me there good in so many areas you know number one overall top five in virtually every category and you see what their season average has been giving up just 290 yards on average and today the Patriots just about backside the first half there's multiple rain how good is he out of the backfield that's his specialty in scenery good for 12 good throw by Grady we've seen that combination with green out of the backfield they put Edelman in the backfield and how that has impacted then the defense it's helped free up Gronkowski in the seam there in the first half this time they turn Vereen loose to the flat you got beat so many times on the scene they drew all their attention there and then brings wide open look at that 13 plays just chewing up yards back at first down inside the 35 to the 32 Tom Brady was so excited about bringing him back this organization has a history with him they liked him he was productive for him he said last year when he played he would watch and defensive players just didn't want to tackle this guy 250 pounds and he is powerful you see some of that power on that run had just 266 yards and two touchdowns this year with the Steelers left the game early it is what like Tom one cut him that happened on Tuesday and on Thursday the Patriots brought him back on a two-year deal he makes the minimum this year as a chance with incentives to make decent money next year with his return it's been a tough day for fantasy owners of Jonas gray after that big week last week he hasn't seen the field well LeGarrette Blount he was holding out wanting to get number 29 it's what he wore last year he was wearing number 60 on Friday and practice heck I thought he was an offensive wild this he's - sighs - Brady [Applause] the officials were all looking at each other and eventually one sailed through the air [Applause] that's levy no doubt you know then there's a hit at the end of that play one of the ones that knocks Brady to the ground Jason Jones Rob Gronkowski was sitting her under the rowdy eat takes a lot of punishment and some of it is because he just simply won't go to the ground when he has the ball in his hands else against both team on the play that will offset holding defense number 54 pass interference offense number 87 by rule so we go back to second and nine is Gronkowski not happy to learn he's guilty of offensive pass interference I'm we're well levy grabs him but Gronkowski comes in and he's looking for toddlers looking for contact on both of those great he's gonna throw one out [Applause] that ball hit the ground he almost makes an unbelievable tax laying out for the ball and they come up they play him man-to-man and is so quick on the line of scrimmage he has a heck of a release which gives him a step and Tom Brady just misses him you see that release off the ball it's an outstanding job by Julian out of him he's still stretching out the neck to he injured on the hip Rubik take reverse the and on third down Brandon LaFell is good for six went with a stop and that force is 1/4 ounce of nothing else the detroit defense keeps the patriots out of the end zone forcing the field goal try as brady is now over 300 yards passing for the 63rd time this career now holding the mayor to a field goal if they get the three points or not they keep it a three-possession game so that was a big stop on third down 43 yard try by s Kowski and three more on the board put up by the Patriots who now lead 27 to 6 third quarter Julian Edelman almost came up with a touchdown catch the Patriots have to settle for 320 one-point game now at 505 left in the third quarter Kyle Arrington he is back that's a good sign for the Patriots as rossi will and Jeremy Ross is going to take it out across the 20 casillas on the tackle exactly five to go why I'm trying to figure it out down 21 big left tackle for the Lions Riley Reef has been out since the first series you see the leaders flash now that my taint was only said his name while nealy Lucas is still out in left tackle the rookie that agree with a block areas again Reba says he forced it out of the hands of Golden Tate the secondary for the Patriots has been really good here this afternoon Darrelle Revis hard to free him up and even though Golden Tate the early going to this game was able to make some plays haven't been able to get the ball to him and Calvin Johnson again they're doubling him Brandon browner they helped with the safety a lot of different looks someone else has got to step up everywhere else it's water [Music] got to take advantage of the looks a catch since the first play of the second quarter and now it's third and 10 looked like Golden Tate and Jeremy Rossi they ran into each other on that route or enough getting open against Patriots with this secondary let alone when you're running into each other who just for a guy like Ross trying to get off the line of scrimmage with Brandon browner right in his face who's like a linebacker well Eric Ebron even though he's been heard he's had the hamstring injury this is why he was he's the guy who creates some matchup problems on the linebackers along with Theo Riddick third down and ten Stanford slings hit incomplete and it's three and out hebron the intended target and stanford has been under pressure all day now the New England Patriots bring pressure and Matthew Stafford has to rush to throw Theo Riddick unable to make a big block there in the backfield to help out his quarterback we know they're going to be talking to Detroit about the fact that Lions now have gone 18 possessions without a touchdown a team that was seemingly loaded with why is that gentleman is on the loose but a flag is down [Applause] for the touchdown better get the spot where Edelman caught in the pun and this one it appears is coming back 74-yard return gonna be wiped away they what Joe whether it's wiped away or not that's embarrassing to walk in the back receiving team number 23 first out they get Patrick Shawn we try and find it with fuller downfield and there's the shove that threw the flag Edelman what a game he's at what a player he's become here in New England Patriots Abbott up 21 here's the end of that punt return by Edelman that was erased because of a penalty it's terrible effort it's one thing for the punter Sam Martin not being able to get him out of bounds but then you've got Julien Stanford and he said Abdullah caboose neither of those guys can knock him out with the boundary right there here's the rain of just two is George Johnson made the tackle you talked earlier Joe about the start last year six and three they finished seven and nine and Lions fans and everybody wanted to know if this is going to be the same old lions from a year ago and other seasons and you know they say this is different the Jim Caldwell has changed the culture and that's not going to happen but a tough loss last week when the defense only gives up 14 points it's hard to win here in New England but this says it been much of an effort really I hate aside of all ladies completed 30 passes now 30 is dragged down good play and there's George Johnson again he's go to Joel Clapton with a game break hi Joe last week it was bad to be a cult right patriots handled Indianapolis but today it's good to be - I Hilton they had a baby girl early this morning and now a 73 yard TD catch from Andrew Luck holds up 20 to 3 over Jacksonville back to New England Joe Troy and their nice little celebration by Hilton it was shut down last week by Arrington I know who gets that ball they're down at 12 Kowski shorted first down yardage anyway and good work by the detroit defense the first time in a while of three and out yeah so here defensively they get the penalty the block in the back which eliminates the big return by Edelman but defensively they got the interception they've given up the three points they've come out of halftime and actually have held up OK they've just got to be able to get something out of this offense about Brady 43 pass attempts no sacs for the Lions defense they had no sacks last week at Arizona like to break that straight catchin its eventually hauled in by Ross after a big upset last week the quarterfinals continue two more fighters step into the Octagon looking to keep their dream of a championship alive it's an all-new episode of The Ultimate Fighter Wednesday at 10:00 Eastern and Pacific on Fox Sports 1 and streaming live on Fox Sports go so now with under three to go third quarter the ball is at the 35 looking for a little life Matthew Stafford and Lions offensively pedigreed it was emotion he doesn't have a catch today [Applause] so they finally get one to him behind the defense and the rookie Eric Ebron could not make the catch no he runs a good round you see the crossing route that allows him to get freed up you know Stafford you'd like to get that ball out in front of him more so he could keep running but it hits him right in the stomach and you know that's a play that you catch that's what you're paid to do and they've had too many opportunities when they finally do free somebody up but they haven't been able to secure the ball here's a toss to Caroline runs into the offensive linemen in front of him that was Travis Swanson the rookie you starting at right guard a gain of four third down at six coming Swanson's playing in place of the injured Larry Warford who started the first nine games and right guard but he is in Activ second straight week out with a bad left knee there it is 18 straight possessions without a touchdown right now they just want a first down four-man rush Stafford is going to run man get it he was pointing to Bell to take off down the field and Matthew Stafford picks it up with his legs again a 10 where Calvin Johnson is going to run the shallow crossing route you see how they pick him up Jamie Collins the linebacker Matthew Stafford does an excellent job because just nowhere to go with the ball now people have talked about Matthew Stafford here yeah it has been inconsistent but you know how should it not be considering all that's happened and just watching this game here today he has not gotten a lot of health guys have dropped balls have not been able to run the football whatever they have been able to do has been doing on his own pretty much Poorman Ross here's one Florida you can speak to it as well as anybody when an offense can't run the ball what it does to a quarterback in an attack when it's basically one-dimensional this Lions team can't run it well when they're taking away your number one guy in Calvin Johnson which teams can do I mean Calvin Johnson's had a great career and he's able to do things even when they put two guys on him these are exceptional players and then you've got Darrelle Revis who for the most part has been on going to tape that's why I've always said to me the third guy really makes the difference and right now Matthew Stanford by the way is just ten for 28 in this game was saying a ball came out the Detroit keeps it and means Stanford his completing passes at 36% against New England's defense yeah well you know Reggie Bush is not active today his best time but he's one of those guys who could really create an advantageous matchup for the lines you know whether they put him in the slot having run around to have run routes in the backfield theoretically is one of those guys who's capable of doing that to Eric Ebron is as well who says it had a lot of experience he had the one-drop moments go [Applause] by Calvin Johnson he was going to the ground and somehow got his hands up and hold it in that's a this is an unbelievable throw and it's even a better catch and he secures it all the way to the ground it's that's really impressive the ball does hit the ground I looked at me like he had possession of it Joe moved enough moved a little bit that'll be interesting to see if Bill Belichick decides to challenge it but that's a heck of an effort by Calvin Johnson home flag thrown by balichek yet no challenges nothing on the ground as Chung makes us stuck mines need a score and they need to get it into the end zone what a catch one and effort by Calvin Johnson as we go to the fourth quarter back after this from your local Fox station and a 21-point game you begin the fourth quarter second down for the Lions down 21 [Applause] like Oh sir I'll turn silver 51 with the head walk back yard penalty remains sitting down we get Dominic Raiola who's his second-round pick in 2001 as a veteran moved their watch Dominic Raiola [Applause] Domenic number two in franchise history games play this is 215 and that's what threw the flag yeah I thought he did it a couple times I don't agree with that call you saw rayalu questioning the call I agree with them I don't think that should have been a penalty second down and 14 [Applause] Stafford looking for they got to be really frustrated I know he's missed time but Eric Ebron doesn't even get his head around to look for the throne he had a good release off the line of scrimmage - its man-to-man he's in the seam that's exactly what you want what Matthew Stafford wanted and gets off he's got a step and just a lack of practice time he's a young guy and he just with the injury makes it really difficult second game back these three games in the bad hamstring had a drop [Applause] 14 back out of a blitz pass for Johnson [Applause] defensively and it was Crowder they matthew stafford is just knowing that this is the one guy that you can really rely on and he put the ball even with help stafford puts this ball the only place that he could possibly put it look like browner they've gotten a hand on it [Applause] Troy lines have gone for near on for time right they don't have the play in yet they're gonna have to take a timeout before a 4th and 14 week 12 continues later today on CBS and for some of you on Fox then tonight it's Sunday Night Football on NBC that matchup with the Cowboys at the Giants tune in tomorrow Monday Night Football on ESPN the Ravens against the Saints the Saints have dropped two in a row at home despite being two games under 500 start week 12 tied for first in the south-south everybody's alive and like you said you know John Peyton where's he missed that one year the Saints had not lost a game at home since 2010 when they lost to the 49ers a few weeks ago and then they come right back and lose another one home the following week so they take on Baltimore tomorrow night Atlanta is at home against Cleveland but as you said Carolina is on by there three seven and one there right there that Tampa Bay is only two games out of first place although they're losing today at Chicago by 11 that might knock them out of the playoff picture ha here's Prater they decide to forget going for it and hits it well 49 yards to make it an 18 point game here at Gillette Stadium as we have just begun the poor weather is just beautiful in this great American city on Sunday November 23rd week 12 and when fans make the trip to Foxborough they expect to see a win and they usually get to see what Randy Moss our Randy Moss sat down with Tom Brady this week here's a bit of it you don't really experience those things in September when you lose the Kansas City but you see what you're all about you know this time of year and there's certain teams that go the other direction there's certain teams that rise to the occasion and hopefully one of those teams that rise to the occasion well they have not had the consistent deep threat since Randy Moss left but Tom Brady they know how to finish they know how to close and they just win here at home Rainie throws and he's got a completion to julian edelman Troy Tom Brady has the all-time number one winning percentage in the history of the league and including the playoffs he's 174 and 53 121 games over 500 he's one of the game's great competitors you know I mean think about the partnership that he and Bill Belichick have had Tom Brady is benefited by having a head coach who wants to nothing but coach football but Bill Belichick probably has been more of the beneficiary of that relationship after Tom Brady is his Porter by second down lost it going to the ground good after let's check in with Joel Klatte with a game breaker by Joe speaking of great quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers has been on tear lately and Troy it's the spatter a shovel pass to Eddie Lacy ten yards for the touchdown pack up point for 13 you love the shovel pass Troy a stat pattern that comes from a quarterback Jill Jellico's what that's about I didn't have many stat padder's they were fighting against those every and they're gonna say a catch animal man with a diving effort they're gonna mark it down just shy of first down yardage and know it see that from here now Jim Caldwell has not challenged a pledge fort down right now and now they're gonna switch out and bring the punt team on I was gonna say if they were gonna go for it you got a challenge that play but it's fourth down I think Bill Belichick waited to maybe make sure he did have to challenge it and now we will get the challenge but they're going to have the conversation here even with the catch it's fourth down do you want to cheat lunges challenging the ruling on the field of a completed pass guess the answer to that is yes and why not that was not a completion and Jim Caldwell with his first challenge that will not stand as a catch fort down either way about a little peek inside the hood as Tony curenci looks at it they are in communication this year for the first time with the league back in New York clearly not a catch but this is taking a while and that leads you to believe now they're looking at where the ball was snapped so they're gonna go back and this will be a successful challenge for Jim Caldwell he'll be one for one but I like to use it during the break which was when it was initially rule to catch Bill Belichick kept his offense out there and almost forced the hand of Jim Caldwell to challenge it he was on the sidelines it didn't look like he wanted to have to throw the flag but knew he had to after review the pass was incomplete it will be fourth down and four at the 26-yard line with a game clock operator please reset the game clock to 1403 thank you you said Tony corrente with a look inside the hood not to be confused with a look inside the hoodie because that never happens Joe now he it's hard to get in there the hoodie did you call it a hoodie before we were all aware of that from Bill Belichick probably suspicions there it is it's like he's known for that it's like number one selling merchandise there at the gift shop pro shop near Gillette stay with the cutoff sleeves mostly it's here today it's like the clock flavor playing tonight I want to be known since for something there you go Bill Belichick by the way is known for not the hoodie but for success championships and let's talk about the big picture and talk about the NFC I mean week after week we don't know where we're going with with the overall playoff picture Green Bay has extended their lead it looks like at the end of the day the Packers will have a clear lead in the NFC North well the Packers are red-hot we had a chance to see them last week and Aaron Rodgers is playing as well as any quarterback in football but this is where it usually gets exciting for the Detroit Lions we've seen this a lot of times from Anthony Stanford I wouldn't count them out they still have yet to get into the end zone this one's batted down to the line of scrimmage and just the body language we saw it with Calvin Johnson going to break the last time the Lions had that we've seen ebrill with a drop and then not getting his head around at Calvin Johnson his frustration because he just has not really been involved for the most part [Applause] and then Joe Lombardi fizzy trans hole plays and free these guys up they cut down there Paul Scheer playbook by 20% jumping into this game that'll be against New England coverage on Calvin Johnson yes clearly at the top of this route when Calvin Johnson trying to work back to Stafford and Brandon browner had a hole to the top of the shoulder pads defense number 39 automatic first down that's the tenth penalty against the Patriot sensor season average let's go down to Erin Andrews you mentioned the body language of the liens you knew the offense running into the locker room at halftime hanging their heads and then as Troy stated defense playing pretty well here in the second half he leaked that fire mop there's just been no expression no life no energy out of these guys have covered Matthew Stafford even college we know he's not a rah-rah guy but everyone around him just nothing has changed from this half to the first half but a lot of teams have come to Gillette at that same caboodle on this near sideline there's a first place Club not just flipping it phlanagus grown joint bail was close to where the ball came down but it's against Detroit with illegal use of the hands used to enhance his the face actually the chin of the defender number 77 10-yard penalty well Matthew Stafford Joe had a chance to get the ball to Calvin Johnson right away but he knows he needs some big chunks down three scores so he's trying to take a deep shot to the post - Cory fuller in just about the time he was going to turn him loose is when the Patriots got to him with the rush they get Lucas the rookie who's taken over for reef the hands to the chair big pressure by okay that four-step throw - Matthew Stafford underneath its tank tonight's movie and Golden Tate usually so good after the catch that's really his forte went right around Chung he has almost as but as many yards after the catch as Doug Baldwin has all year as a leading receiver for Seattle just total receiving yards there's a look at Joe Lombardo the offensive coordinator right you know Golden Tate I said earlier he he looks better on Sunday than he does the other six days of the week and you know that's that's not a knock it's a real compliment because when he puts the pads on he does those things with the ball in his hands that you don't see on the practice of the upgrade of a competitor he is second and six pressure there's again go back across the field in the direction of bill incomplete in kovitch there is just good coverage down the field and the attention that anyone draws and you see Darrelle Revis then on gold and Tate and Matthew Stafford's trying to get the ball to his playmakers and then those offensive linemen they had protection there and enough protection but because of the coverage Matthew Stafford had to just try to keep the play alive as best he could concepts [Applause] to the chest of calvin johnson knocked away by brandon browner its fourth down and detroit is compelled to go for it here in the fourth quarter down 27 to 9 yeah no choice now they settled for the field goal the last time instead of going for it on 4th and long which i think was the right call and i think this is the right call i have no choice but to go for calvin johnson finally gets he's going to be close probably picks up the first down he would have caught it just short but his momentum likely picks it up and he'd been able to catch the ball browner knocked it away fourth and six timeout taken before the snap by New England by the way Matthew Stafford his worst completion percentage in a game is 40% 10 for 25 last year at Philadelphia in December today 34 percent 12 out of 35 so he's had some drops he's been under pressure he's been frustrating Thanksgiving can't wait a good matchup the Philadelphia Eagles they are running away with their game last check at home against Tennessee against the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas and Philadelphia tied on top in the NFC East in Dallas place tonight up in Jersey against the giant yeah and I don't think that's going to be an easy game even though the Giants have been struggling any time you're playing a division rival like that on the road primetime game I think it's going to be a heck of a ball game there in the Meadowlands but then we get a chance to see these two heavyweights square off on Thursday which is obviously going to go a long way and help whoops it makes a nice catch backing up and after an earlier drop this was a good catch by Eric Ebron Hightower he gets the pressure on Stafford but on a bad route thereby Ebron and Matthew Stafford lays it out there before absorbing that hit from Hightower an outstanding job Matthew Stafford he's going to be spending some time in the hot tub next week he is tough he's proving that he did that as rookie come on the separated shoulder to be 60 early in the families only 26 why is he a big boy nice completion that's Ross another first down for Detroit is the Lions we're going to try to make some noise here in the fourth quarter good throw by Matthew Stafford he keeps it away protects the receiver Ross likes that staff are doing all they can Hritik had found a hole in the defense but stanford couldn't get it to him second attempt yeah that's one that Stafford which is he had back because he really tried to set his feet he just didn't get enough on it [Music] they're able to come away with a touchdown on this drive they not that time the town Brayan company can't handle a little pressure but we certainly start to apply a little bit second and ten Stafford Angela [Applause] good coverage by Logan Ryan with his very diverse in deep secondary for the Patriots boy they are deep logan Ryan gave up a couple plays last week the Indianapolis Colts Ross has an opportunity in rowing well-thrown ball by Matthew Stafford and just you know nobody's just really been here we saw the one Calvin Johnson made there along that sideline but nobody other than that one play has really been able to make the tough catch in this game downtown the intended target now here we go again that'll be fourth down it is an 18-point game when you know you have Tom Brady you come into again if your Matthew Stafford knowing that you're going against a scoring machine on the other side with a way the Patriots are rolling you've got to get touchdowns purgatory all right more content and a small office it's up to the legs at Stanford and he is going to slide shorts a first down yardage you can see the lion judge shake his head I don't think he got a joke from where he started his slide he then is protected he gave himself up and I think it's a good spot maybe even a generous spot once that slide starts and a part of the body hits the turf play is dead and so is that Lions Drive coming up inches short on that slide was Matthew Stafford another throw from great Rafael Matthew Stafford Troy had it but elected to slide and in essence gave up the first down well there was a there was a big mistake by Matthew Stafford and he knew it as soon as he got up he knew that he should never have slid he could have just run and it looks like he's gonna take any punishment but that's a situation in the game you've got to give yourself up you gotta go good first down here's got Kowski with the first down the Patriots are just sitting on it as two here Whitehead makes the tackle and there's Stafford who led a first down slide away I was very surprised too because when he tucked it I mean he was determined that he was going to get it fourth down knew what he had to do secure rare low and the completion percentage 35% well that's coming off that's on the heels of his worst game of the season last week's loss to the Arizona Park good protection defensively as a head of almost had his second pick chicken with Joel Klat with a game breaker I show not all bad news for Lions fans because Minnesota is coming back Teddy Bridgewater is second touchdown pass of the day this one's a Greg Jennings five yards out two-point conversion was good it's a three-point game under four minutes Joe Troy and Erin okay so pressure on Green Bay's offense they usually handle pressure well good game there second at my wedding he's tackled from behind by levy that was actually singing out three there's who's Jonas Gray I mean he's gonna need a new alarm clock he's gonna need a new phone charger whatever it is comes off a 201 yard game he hasn't sniffed the field can you imagine what's going through his mind right now after the performance he had last week against the Colts over 200 yards rushing and they made a mistake good by all accounts he's a terrific young man and made a mistake and he paid for it I thought he would get in the game I knew there would probably be some type of punishment but the way this games gone they they haven't needed him you kind of wonder are they gonna are they going to need him the rest of the year I don't know about a kid who went to Detroit Country Day grew up is a huge fan of Barry Sanders he's gone from a four touchdown day to the cover boy of Sports Illustrated for the Patriots to an oversleep to a show up to practice to a goal just stand here next to me hey you know what I I really admire what Bill Belichick has done it let me tell you there's there are few teams in this league that would have him stand on the sidelines the entire game does it count is the SI coverage it's [Applause] bass is caught by Gronkowski for a first down well the success is obviously well documented with Robert Kraft and we talked earlier about me shoes that he's wearing look at what this team has done they've built this state in 2002 now the area around it is developed they just dominate here at home and that man is all smiles with a son Jonathan why not social media get on the fact that he was wearing tennis shoes with suits ready trapped on the turf we showed you earlier when he's wearing our Nike Air Force Ones they now have a retail version all proceeds going to Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston on sale on Monday at the Patriots Pro Shop Nike in Boston the negative in Boston and then nike.com that starts at 10:00 a.m. so the trendsetting Robert Kraft modern-day Zoolander is the ring the Joe our other league is better because of Bob Kraft and those others you know around the league that have made a real impact on this game and you think about what he's done since he's taken over here is owner of the New England Patriots his stadium that we're broadcasting this game from no public money in building this stadium and one of the real gentlemen in this league and it's a it's a real pleasure to come here we don't get to come here often we always get a chance to go by and visit with him and one of the highlights of the trip here at Fox ball come here now third down and 14 here is helmet out on the edge he's got a long we'll get there fourth down coming out bass on some makes the tackle talk a lot about New England Lions fans are saying yes you talk too much about New England let's talk about Detroit I mean I still think schedule wise it's all in front of them there they have a golden opportunity the next three weeks where there'll be a home favorite against Chicago that's on Thanksgiving and then against Tampa Bay and then against the Vikings they're in a good spot despite what looks to be back-to-back losses in Arizona and here stay away and it a lot of bound to the 16th take a break come back and more work to be done for Matthew Stafford this team down 18 sports fans up here whether for the Red Sox whether for the Patriots they've had some fun here today and over this stretch since Tom Brady took over back in 2001 five Super Bowls three wins [Applause] first down meanwhile the Lions have not made an appearance in a Super Bowl the only franchise existed for the entire Super Bowl era with no Super Bowl appearance so they are starved for it in Detroit seven and three start staring at seven and four and they will be in second place the end of the day Stanford got hit and now he gets picked it's Logan to the interception a lateral to browner and Brandon can't make it to the 45 hit by Jamie Collins and an interception thrown by Matthew Stafford the flag came after the pic see Jamie Collins as he comes around and gets freed up and Cornelius Lucas again who's in the game because of Riley reefs injury after the interception of the past personal foul illegal low block against New England 15-yard penalty first down you can see Darren Harmon that came in low that's what got the flag but for Logan Ryan his second interception and when you say it got like Ryan II think Terrell Revis you think Brandon browner Kyle Arrington's been so good Devin McCourty Patrick Chung is all over the place now Logan Ryan they have a lot of ways they can go yeah and even Darrelle Revis and visiting with him he said that they call themselves the hybrids because they all are interchangeable they both can play inside I mean they all can play inside they all can play outside they can match up against anybody that they face it's a real luxury that they have that day feds met Patricia the defensive coordinator is benefiting from all the pieces he has to walk walk hares dogs let me on the tackle after a carry of 33 yards now doing Stanford he gets an opportunity to try to make a play in the backfield not be easy to do against LeGarrette Blount he's a powerful runner and Tom Brady was saying just the other day last year how many runs like this LeGarrette Blount had you know you think of him is just an inside power back because of his size but last year he had a number of big runs down the field like what we just saw while he had a four touchdown game in the playoffs against Indianapolis a fourth one the last one was 73 yards levy you made the step on the long run is in there on that tackle after a gain of two on blunt well you talked about it a little bit earlier Joe that first half Garrett one except essentially because of punishment reasons gets released by the Pittsburgh Steelers and finds himself a nice home here in New England with a winning team and a quarterback Tom Brady pretty good situation for him Jonas gray I think it's safe to say pick the wrong week to oversleep second a name I've been able to reload the Patriots in season Blount the latest pickup but he's had a nice return to New England on their way to a nine and to start other Patriots they'll be winners of seven straight you got the Broncos leading the West after the Chiefs loss on Thursday night Cincinnati leading in the North Indianapolis in the South so they're the wildcard leaders but in the hunt the AFC it is a wide-open race for the extra playoff spots after the division leaders the heat loss for Kansas City sue makes the stop one blonde okay Karen say don't you run on May and Donna can sue a free agent to be changed agents knows it next year he'll be an alliance uniform now this Lions defense you know they got torts there in that first half Tom Brady was able to drive the ball at 24 points helping to just three points in the second half an outstanding job this didn't get any help from the offense so let's look at the battle for the NFC Hornet and their remaining schedules there you go for Detroit again at home against Chicago Chicago by the way is it appears about to win at home against Tampa Bay but they've got Chicago at home Tampa Bay at home Minnesota at home then at Chicago at Green Bay where the division may very well come down to week 17 Detroit beat Green Bay at home earlier in the year then Green Bay New England Atlanta at Buffalo at Tampa Bay and then that home game against Detroit there's a look at the division with Green Bay posting a win moments ago in the Twin Cities as long as Detroit can stay within one game of the into the last week of the season they control their own faith but if you have an easier schedule it appears these by Brandon LaFell and now the fell slow to get up see if he came down on the football or what what a catch and then he hit that hip against the turf but he's up so going for it on a fourth down play just to keep the football and why not yeah why not it's a three-possession game if they settle for the field goal still that's what it is now so wasn't really a lot to gain by trying to go for the field goal maybe you get it blocked you miss you give the Lions great field position not much time I understand but they go for it on fourth down in Brandon LaFell I talked about it earlier Tom Brady said he's never really had a receiver quite like this guy balls in his hands and he becomes like a power running back just bouncing off guys and anytime you see someone coming off the field like that after they've landed on that shoulder you start to think maybe it's some type of collarbone 98-yard day little fella meanwhile Brady 38 of 53 if he completes one more walk we will tie his career-high in a game as LeGarrette Blount carries forward for a minimal game Darryl Tapp on the tackle so no sacks Troy back-to-back weeks for Detroit yeah then that's you know it's one thing if you don't get sacks it's another thing that you've got to be able get pressure and hit the quarterback and they were able to knock brady around a little bit but by and large it was not overly effective in getting after tom brady and then that certainly is one of the reasons why brady was able to do what he did talked about the missed opportunities and some of the catches that were either dropped or just entirely missed whether it's fuller Calvin Johnson or ypres nor 4ei who had a touchdown catching the sander Ross I mean Matthew Stafford needs a little help you know maybe it wouldn't but you gotta believe that this game would have looked the different had that they become away touchdowns there in the early going to this game instead of half the South fulfill goals once already got a touchdown to the game 15 for 42 his Matthew Stafford in this game so he and the Lions will leave here frustrated coming up on three minutes left third down and goal for New England well sometimes you have a game like this or in the last couple weeks even though fancy staffers been banged around a little bit of short week don't have time to dwell on this they like we won't even watch this tape which would be a good thing for the Lions they'll move right into their preparations for Thanksgiving and see if they can't get back on the winning side against you can't go on Thursday the early game they'll just go forward here's one and one on 3rd and goal is going to be brought down short up again so meanwhile New England is on their way to beating their fourth divisional leader maybe Cincinnati they beat Denver they beat Indianapolis by an average score of 43 to 19 and even though this is not I guess as lopsided it's certainly been as one-sided and going for it are the Patriots on fourth down as we will get to the two-minute warning here in Foxborough Massachusetts where the Patriots are all smiles jay-z about that big mess to break two minutes left two minutes left in the game and Gus Kowski will come on he is looking for his fourth field goal of the game we started the day 29 points shine becoming Patriots history school before chip shot but a flag is down 20-yard try and we'll see if he has to do it again he's walking away he doesn't think so as the Patriots are at 30 points yet again seventh time this year fourth straight game they are rolling s Kowski is still walking away he's the only one personal film defense number 99 hitting the snapper with his helmet this creates an automatic first down so take the points off the board as CJ Mosley comes in and hits Danny akin so not at 30 points yet the automatic first down and Brady back to the field but it seems only a matter of time with a minute 57 left we'll see whether or not the Patriots decide to try to come away with a touchdown or Tom Brady Turner's taken to me all the weapons you see what's happened defensively for the Lions here today they came in the number one ranked defense in the NFL they will not go [Applause] eggplants they were Grady and he gets up and shoves to hear whitehead [Music] and so again over 30 points fourth straight game for New England and I just don't see anybody slowing them down any time soon now you talked about it the winds that they've had over the divisional leaders the Lions in the NFC obviously one of those but in the AFC the one that really got my attention Joe was was the one last week I mean the other two against Cincinnati against Denver here at Gillette Stadium that win at Indianapolis in the way in which they were able to do it that was that not that they haven't had some pretty impressive wins but I think that got everybody's attention around the league it's the season high against the Lions this number one ranked defense 34 points put up by smiling Tom Brady Fox Sports supports proud to work with got your six a campaign that creates opportunities to bring veterans and civilians together it inspires Americans to understand the skills and values our veterans bring to our communities upon their return home so nice to be partnered with them as we go through the rest of the 2014 season were in week 12 and before the kickoff we'll check in with Joel Klat with the game break Joe to Atlanta where the Browns were down by one for those seven plays 61 yards 44 seconds for the 37 yard Billy Cundiff hit for the win and the Browns moved to 7 & 4 we could squad their 2624 guys they get Gordon back thanks Jules to 7 & 4 they get Gordon back lawyer continues to play well Johnny Manziel continues to watch from the sidelines in Atlanta is 4 & 7 if they've had some heartbreaking losses including one to these Detroit Lions but yeah can you imagine 11 weeks in and Cleveland it has yet to have any impact that with all the quarterbacks that have had to come into games and all the injuries boy is playing great in Manziel is in a Snickers commercial that's about it well here you go here's the gob on Thursday in Arlington Texas the game were on the air at 4:00 Eastern on Fox a great matchup certainly in the NFC s with Philadelphia playing at Dallas I remember drape fly of the Lions is on this day do not remember who won the first one because it's really not that member of the ever evolving trophy of the galloping gobbler that's a piece of its home how about this iron Aaron Riddick from behind they talked about this being the 14th anniversary today Tom Brady's debut in the NFL in a regular season game November 23rd mm okay that was 134 to 9 by Detroit now 14 years later flip it the other way and after his first completion Troy which came on his third pass talked about Tom Brady New England takes a timeout they're left with one it was a six yard completion to rod Rutledge his third throw and now 50 1792 yards later coming into today one of the best quarterbacks in the history of this great game through the years the hair you talk about it I don't even want to mention it go ahead ready no well Mary dude Giselle whatever you got to keep it fresh [Music] you can blame her he's one of the I said earlier is one of the great competitors one of the greatest quarterbacks that were playing this game but also one of the really great guy yep here is the tight end it was the 10th overall selection this past draft Ebron and eric catches the last two times they've thrown it his way there's the passer rating there's the day for Tom Brady and you think back to that game that ended with him on the bench at number 29 to Kansas City Jimmy Garoppolo in the game offense number 66 five-yard penalty remains second down you get Waddell for the false start and now since then they've won seven straight I think everybody's been kind of waiting to see the crack you know and the in the dynasty I guess here in New England and they thought they've got a glimpse of it against Kansas City and a lot of people you know how about when they asked Bill Belichick fall in that game you know what the status was of Tom Brady going forward and this guy's earned the right he can he can have those performances for an entire year and nobody should be questioning starter Stafford slings it incomplete on second did you know that you can find the galloping gobbler Award winners online as its feed our statistician did Veta go back to sleep over budget started with Emmett Smith and then drape why who was legitimately the only guy who was actually excited to win them who why why yeah well he came in like the reconquering hero into the locker bring it up his teammates were like what is that here's Redick third down he's across the 40 close to a first down but short of it well I know John Madden is back there in the Bay Area watching this we should bring back the turducken things seem to Robert Rock pretty good back when John was bringing out that was food eight-legged bird appetite I think it's all in the preparation I had it once and it was actually pretty good and I tried it again another time and that was the last time I tried my boss Eric shake still has those sent to him he was on the job pour down a lot 34 to 9 and another game without a touchdown for the Detroit Lions I mean that's hard to believe I mean I know they've had issues and offensive line is hurt and all that but you got step you know Golden Tate and they've got tight ends here's fuller he comes up empty-handed maybe that could have broken that string but now it's just stats and this offense got to figure it out well I will tell you though Joe as bad as it is number 77 block declare to the ground then drove himself on top of him 15-yard penalty remains first down personal foul long as it turns out that he wasn't was gonna count anyway but [Applause] Jewelry said it's first in 25 for those of you just joining us it gets no more intense than this 34 to 9 with 17 seconds yeah you know as bad as it's been for this offense especially the last couple of weeks you know it's amazing how quickly things can turn it just takes one guy making a play you know whether that's Cory Poehler on that last one for 4ei there in the first quarter we has an opportunity in the end zone you know they had opportunities and they failed to capitalize and now next week or a Thursday if somebody steps up and makes a play it's amazing how quickly you can regain that confidence and they desperately need something they are in second place talking about the Lions they talking about the Patriots in this tremendous run are in first place and for the Patriots 14th consecutive winning season they have a lot of weapons and Brady damn guys defensively the biggest weapon for the Patriots that man Bill Belichick future hall-of-famer another win back to recap [Music]
