2015 Week 12 - Patriots @ Broncos

[Music] in Denver tonight getting ready for the marquee matchup of week 12 in the NFL as the undefeated New England Patriots square off with the Broncos a Sunday night [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the frigid night sports authority field Denberg temperature in the mid 20s this place is always bonkers no question it will be tonight into town comes Tom Brady having another MVP type season when Patriots ready to take smaller and those Sunday night's football now Michael Smith styles with Michele Tafoya welcome to Denver at least temporarily a changing of the guard Peyton Manning nursing a foot injury hopes to be back in a couple of weeks Dean Wallace Osweiler's team he'll be at the helm again last week played well in Chicago two touchdown passes dirt and turned the ball over but what a test tonight going up against Bill Belichick and a defense that has yielded the fewest points in the league meanwhile the Patriots come in undefeated they're ten and oh they're not talking about a perfect season everybody else is though because if they win tonight they've got a real good shot to run the table nothing seems to stop this team from their appointed rounds can they deliver again tonight and Chris if they do they'll have to do it with some missing parts on offense but Bill Belichick is always pulling something out of the Hat what will that be tonight Tom Brady and the number one scoring defense Allen had he's won a lot of games with a heck of a lot less than that but I think the key is going to be the play of their offensive line they weren't very good a week ago and any time you play against the defense like that you have to protect Tom Brady they reshuffled up front we'll see if it's any better now you watch sauce wanna play against Chicago last week we saw them in practice we talked to them the other day is she ready for primetime I think he's ready for primetime is he ready for the undefeated world champ that may be a different question but he is the AFC Offensive Player of the Week so not a bad start for him but the show tonight is going to be this Denver defense that we saw shut down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers just a couple weeks ago going against Tom Brady who's having one of the best seasons of his entire career any time you did the best against the best it's going to be fantastic yeah once again we had one of those you don't want to miss it matchups it's the Broncos and the Patriots forecast call for some snow one to three inches and here it is it's coming over the last hour or so temperature 26 degrees well one guy who hopes to spend a lot of time in the New England backfield tonight is linebacker Von Miller of the Denver Broncos who spoke with Michelle moments ago Levon your defense leads the NFL with 34 sacks you have six of them but Tom Brady gets rid of the ball quicker than any quarterback in the league how do you make things uncomfortable for him tonight we got the best second in the league hopefully they can you know delay I'm up a little bit I know that we all know to be ever do it and we'll be able to get better nothing your quarterback Brock Osweiler makes his second career start what has impressed you most about him since he stepped in for Peyton just his poise you know nothing is too big for him you know he comes in every day with the same Chris has the mentality and it's uh it's great for all of us good luck thank you yes ma'am thank you Miller will be without his running mate DeMarcus weird and ideas out with a back injury Evan Mathis has an ankle injury he will play but max Garcia will get the start as for Peyton Manning he is in the house he'll be watching the game he told me that at halftime he'll be in the locker room helping out with adjustments as for New England Danny Amendola Michael Williams and linebacker Jamie Collins are all out tonight al I thank you Michelle also of course missing Julian Edelman with a broken foot division leaders Patriots undefeated big lead in the East since he won today they're 9 and 2 Denver will go to 9 and 2 or 8 and 3 will lead the West regardless an Indianapolis wins today they're six and five in the very AFC South snow coming down here Denver but the field is in good shape it wasn't snowing during the warm-up so it's coming down that pretty good as you can see the wind is only at four miles an hour Stephen Gostkowski will tickle New England won the toss as usual they deferred over sports authority field which opened in 2001 supplanting the old Stadium go from the Rockies at the goal line this is Omar Bolden - take him down over the night [Applause] Wilson making the tackle Brock Osweiler he's in his fourth year here they drafted him in 2012 out of Arizona State before that as you can see his father is here with the orange cap he and his mother drove last week they couldn't get a flight from Denver to Chicago because of the weather condition so they drove all night got there and watched their boy win the game at Soldier Field when they start on the ground and right there to plankton his Ning kovitch Ronnie booming before he can even get started gets taken down behind the line of scrimmage right to the inside against Schofield who is a guy that will have to keep an eye on tonight that sort of elite quickness inside both of these offensive lines something we're going to have to watch this evening because these defenses are tremendous bit of an early statement from that Patriot Dean and that'll be caught up at the 22-yard line Emmanuel Sanders back after missing last week's being with an ankle injury made the cash Osweiler made his first career start on his 25th birthday and won the game and as we say he played very well it's easy to say well he managed the game and Kubiak gave a great game plan didn't try to do anything crazy didn't turn it over as Chris mentioned AFC Offensive Player of the Week said the rest my birthday's piped downhill after that one half the beat for receivers now set to the left side there's your Omaha Cole third and six it is incomplete Andre Poirot is adjusting on the play and Harmon is there for the coverage that is a quick three and out it looked like Patrick Chung back there running with him stride for stride and I think Patrick Chung has been one of the really great untold stories of this Patriots defense his coverage ability may be a little surprising for some in New England has made a huge difference this year at Britton Colquitt to do the punting it was fun to be the Broncos punter getting to 5,280 feet Chris Harper his to receive and it's a very short kick that doesn't even get into New England territory so a bad start before the Broncos here come the Patriots on the plus side of the 50 their starters here [Applause] Tom Brady Michigan LeGarrette Blount Taylor County High School judge all the fail LSU Keshawn Martin Michigan State Rob Gronkowski Arizona Scott Chandler fashion Ballmer University of Houston Jack Mason Georgia Tech bronze stork for stay Josh Sean Penn State Marcus Cannon Texas Christian University good matching oil up front so a great star for the Patriots that have the ball at the 47 and the pass is caught by Brandon LaFell who gets written down by TJ Ward after a gain of four Tom Brady 25 or more touchdown passes 11 seasons we could show you 18 million things that he has done for Super Bowl trophies maybe he went to another MVP he can right up at the top second down and six and he's nested do it with a short deck with Anna Dolan I'm here walking here for a few weeks and his plot by Quantcast me Memphis there's one guy he can always count on and that's the first first out of the game anytime you're gonna get Rob Gronkowski on a linebacker this time Brandon Marshall Marshall a very good inside backer good coverage but no match there we'll see how many more times they're willing to go one-on-one this is a bit of a man coverage team we saw it against Green Bay they're gonna allow their corners Chris Harris to keep two three Bradley Roby all to play one-on-one on the outside it's gonna be up to those tight ends to make plays inside that was a gain of 10 grading the good clean pump it flips it to the outside the filaments the catching spins back forward progress will net him a first down before his tackle the 24 yard line by Chris Harris they understand that they're not going to have a lot of opportunities to win just one-on-one with their wide receivers outside so what you'll see tonight a lot of different little bunch and stack formations like that they don't want these corners doing what they do best which is coming down on the line of scrimmage playing bump and run and taking advantage of the receiver Cameron Fleming is eligible number 71 Kings white is in the backfield he's the running back [Applause] to the outside in this plaque by grant breaking tackles and Lou England has scored three and a half minutes into the game usually resounding spike by Gronkowski that's 23 yards for the touchdown and for Rob Gronkowski it's his ninth touchdown catch of the season well you're gonna go one on one with Gronkowski and you're gonna pay a price for it here Darian Stewart on the outside just right there really didn't even make an effort then he shakes off TJ Ward you know when you don't have some of the other weapons in there with Edelman out named and dole out I thought that Gronkowski was going to see all kinds of coverage not so far the last week Buffalo did a great job on him Izzy Connolly two balls in New England seven-point win at Foxborough just asking for the extra point perfect start from day one they stopped them on a3 and I've got the ball 248 in they go and just like that it's the England 7 and dead for nothing [Music] Sunday night football brought to you by Chevrolet find new roads by Verizon better matters by Walmart cheer wonder every day and by Star Wars The Force awakens and theatres everywhere December the 18th love numbers are the paths of the Broncos into the holiday spirit this past week Bob Kraft who's here tonight of course was Jonathan accompanied by Chandler Jones back in New England Broncos hosted 45 children from the Denver Boys and Girls Club at their annual shop of the bronco event Patriots have the best record in known for major North American sports it's crafted over San Antonio Spurs of the Indy would be second were in town beat the Nuggets on Friday night and here are the Patriots tonight at Sports Authority Field as Omar Bolden takes a knee in the endzone let's take a look at the Denver offense Brock Osweiler Arizona State Ronnie Hillman San Diego State to Mario's Thomas Georgia Tech Manuel standards SMU own Daniels on Wisconsin Vernon Davis University of Maryland Brian Harris our leaves north and max Garcia Florida Matt Paradis Boise State Luis Vasquez Texas Tech Michael Scofield Michigan Evan math is shaken and not starting tonight but available to play a long time for me with Philadelphia's Astana swings it out to the right side trying to find some rule than their Ronnie Hillman had taken down by Dante Hightower well there's no question without Jamie Collins in the lineup it is going to be on Dante Hightower to be a force in you talked about Patricia the defensive coordinator he's trying to line them up in as many places as I possibly can Jamie Collins was the guy that would handle the responsibilities covering the backs covering the tight ends a great Blitzer and now so much of that is falling on the high town second down and 10 from the 20 yard line or set to the left and that is Ronnie Hillman taken down by a branch and let's take a look at that New England defense Rob Nick of its Purdue Alan branch the University of Michigan Zeppelin Brown sexy Chandler Jones Syracuse University Jerrod Mayo Tennessee Jonathan Frannie dr. yachts how the universe about them now from bum West Island family universe Patrick Chung the Ducks Devin McCourty Rutgers Logan Ryan Rutgers and the architect of the defense Matt Patricia has watched his team they've been pretty healthy on the offensive side of the ball a lot of injuries of ton and very significant ones defensively they didn't except for the loss of Commons on third and eleven Osweiler trying to find some wheel and he's going to be chased down and stopped by Rob ninka so that Denver Broncos have now run a total of six plays for three yards well you'll see this from Brock Osweiler's perspective everybody's sprinting down the field nothing there and I think for us Wyler he is going to have to get his nerve settled here early I know that it's always tempting to take off and run with the football but he's really going to have to start seeing this field here pretty quickly because this is a fantastic defense from New England it's making him look bad so far now coke with his last punt was 25 yards something you'll never see in this ballpark [Applause] fielded at the 40-yard line this is Chris Parker and he'll get run out of bounds in front of the New England bench at the 50-yard line pass with the ball and a seven nothing lead in Denver in Denver New England on its first drive Brady for for for for 47 yards and a Gronkowski touchdown pass start this drive from the 49 and that passes behind in the drop that is standard tie then came over from Buffalo in the offseason to work the other side of the line with this foul ski really hasn't caught many balls this year but Tom feels that he can really work them more into the lineup now especially in the absence of a guy like Hammond goin with Edelman gone of course and I'm sure Wade Phillips is going to try to begin to take away those easy throws from Tom Brady because this pass rush is arguably the best in football right now so you have to try and take away the quick stop and worst time to hold that ball we saw those numbers and those are stellar that pass is incomplete intended for Chandler again let's take a look at that Bronco dude they're cool Cincinnati supposed to wheel well Carolina Malik Jackson Tennessee Paul Miller Texas Brandon Marshall Danny Trevathan Kentucky shag Barrett Colorado State I can't leave in South Carolina Chris Harris jr. Casas Jeff white in the backfield now on third and ten white scored two touchdowns in the Monday nighter [Music] a couple there by Brandon Bolden so that Bronco defense does its job here after yielding the touchdown on their first drive for thony what a great play by Bradley Roby he saw that thing early and did not hesitate he shot right through the receiver to make a huge play and that's more like it from the Denver defense standpoint that first drive didn't look like anything they've done all year Omar Bolden is back to receive Allen since this one up in the air down the sideline and go to see those spotted but Osweiler will start deep in his own territory [Applause] and they mark the ball the 11 yard line [Music] well gary kubiak comes to town it's a different kind of offense with Peyton Manning he was only under center 15% of the time in the pistol or short shotgun 35% half the time in the shotgun now with Osweiler he's been understanding three-quarters of the time so people were talking about Kubiak comes in could Peyton adjust to his offense they kind of built a little bit of a hybrid they were rolling especially in that Green Bay game but now with Osweiler they're running more of what Gary has run through the years in Houston and Baltimore but it's all predicated upon being able to run the football and so far they haven't done that at all yet but CJ Anderson says let me try to take care of that and he gets nine to the 21-yard line it'll be second down and one now that's what the stretch plays supposed to look like they get everybody running horizontally so here's everybody the defense runs and now the back can go back and with some cutback lanes here that's what this offense is supposed to look like you get that going then you get the bootlegs you get the play-action that's Gary Kubiak softens now they have three tight ends in last week they use two tight ends on two thirds of the plays angle his way CJ Anderson for a first down and appears to just have gotten it we talked about some of the reshuffled offensive line for the Patriots well the same thing has really been true for the Denver Broncos as well they have had to make some major changes Ryan Harris the left tackle is their third left tackle max Garcia playing tonight for Evan Mathis who has the ankle issue [Applause] you'll Sanders he gets whacked by the Cordy and [Music] and as a gain of 22 yards a deep over route here by Sanders but that was a rocket from Brock Osweiler I mean he reared back and threw that ball hard it barely got a few yards off the ground and Devin McCourty is probably one of the fastest guys playing the free safety position sideline to sideline and not even he could get there on that one Oswalt is 6 feet 8 [Applause] that'll be a six-yard gain to the 49-yard line Cody Latimer second-year guys drafted in the second round last year from Indiana scored a touchdown last week gained to seven second and three isn't it amazing you get this thing going now you come out this way with it and this is full effect now you've seen this before with the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Flacco's exactly what they did and now Osweiler with that basketball background of his very comfortable throwing on the move second and three under six to play in the quarter it seemed and picking up the first vanish CJ Anderson behind a Michael Scofield block now these interior guys starting to get some movement down here and once again the cutback Lane is there nice job on the backside by Ryan Harris cutting it off there to allow that cutback to happen now Ronnie Hillman comes in as the running back from the 41 yard again that is Palin branch making the tackle at the line of scrimmage it'll be second down to ten and one of the weapons now that the Denver Broncos have at their disposal is Vernon Davis this is the first time yeah it's one thing to go run Gary Kubiak offense but that was so dependent on having two tight ends they could get vertical down the field in a hurry now number 80 Vernon Davis is the guy that gives them that additional threat along with Owen Daniels for Demaryius Thomas for a sign that their leading receiver has been targeted tonight third down to nine Gary Kubiak is a guy that it was interesting to see how this team built this wasn't it it was some hybrid system that kind of made Payton happy and a little bit of that and the pistol and the whole bit but there was some good that came out of it because there were some new formations that were introduced to this office because of Peyton Manning that now they've incorporated into the offense that they feel pretty good against the Patriots with Miss Pony they were seven and AH at one point people thought they looked like they were all in seventh but they got together third [Applause] the first man is Benny Fowler but he's gonna come up a little bit short at the 32 yard line tackled there by Shawn Melvin so now now let's see Kubiak with his first big decision we're gonna measure that one that one's close but I don't think I don't think he has it [Applause] and we get Paul McGuire at a retired to be able to give him a pretty good spot so yeah I thought it was a chance short to but this I'll take I like this Benny Fowler kid it look like he was not even gonna get close to that line and he just kept driving yeah this is one of those things if he has the first down you wonder if balanced trick is gonna challenge this let's take a peek here a couple of links push the crowd as is always the case in every ballpark wants them to go for it on fourth and inches yeah but then they boo if you don't get it of course this is a stud front here for the New England Patriots they have some big guys up front Allen Branch silver cylinder Chandler Jones we've already seen what an Inca can do this is going to be a challenge for this offensive line he said nothing else they've been lined up to go for CJ Anderson Plus while there's arms your so long just raise up and do the old Tom Brady right arms out all right here we go forth in a truce the backfield and pick up the first out by plenty get the legs moving picks up two first down Denver you always wonder when you send everybody out of the backfield who are you fooling at that point that one play you're looking for then is the quarterback snakebit this is a big guy you know I mean he's he's big and strong and powerful and been under center a lot maybe you don't run that play with Peyton Manning's over [Applause] another good hole here so CJ Anderson has really given them a boost here early on first second down at the 23-yard line second down and four what a shot CJ Anderson put on Logan Ryan at the end of this watch him drop this shoulder and just go wham there is the leading tackler right there for the New England Patriots believe it or not they're cornerback Logan Ryan and big time for mandersohn [Applause] rusting out of bounds after a gain of a couple its Anderson for a gain of about two it'll be third down and let's call it three third and three now for Denver yeah if you're gonna stop some of these stretch runs you have to play this like Robin ink of its just did and just hammer down off the edge set it and build a wall right there that's what they're looking for now this does bounce out and around but by that point his help was able to get there but they're really looking for these outside guys Hightower and Ning kovitch jabal sheared to hammer that edge and allow everybody to catch up from the inside [Applause] one on the left side but there's a little bit of confusion turnout as they line up so Denver takes a timeout just before a third and two and we come back number four that tonight shows Wednesday night you see it all week with Jimmy Fallon right here on NBC great way to spend Thanksgiving with Brett third reduce [Applause] pressure escapes for the moment but it's Jonathan Freeney comes bursting through just for a moment ah smile are able to escape but not for long and the fourth-year background of Rutgers takes him that for a 14-yard sack and you can't do this there in easy field goal range and this is what he did too much against Chicago and we could go all the great things that he did in that game when he got a little confused or unsettled he tended to hold the ball and it just costs him at least three points there on a fourth and inches were in field goal range and right now the force to out of the game off the foot of Britain and that bounds into the there's a 12-play drive that results in nothing Patriot's habit when we come back leading 7-nothing indenter back in Denver I'm Michele Tafoya and this is the viral video of the holiday and when I asked Tom Brady why he dressed up like a turkey and scared his children on Thanksgiving he laughed and said I wasn't intending to scare them he felt that when he saw the reaction [Applause] watch the video [Applause] the show it's the only time Tom Brady could ever be described as a turkey he starts this drive from the 20-yard line under pressure that he goes who gets sack [Applause] [Music] brainy hit the deck a ton of times against Buffalo last week first time tonight I can't believe what Derek Wolfe has done since he's come back he was suspended four games early on and he was always known as a run player in a really top in one and for some reason now that he's back he has become this unbelievable pass rusher and having a great impact on this defense that was big to get after timer I picked wolf was at a Cincinnati in 2012 Patriots have not had a running play here's a penalty for the moment Gronkowski will have a first down but for the first time tonight we will hear the voice of Tony correct [Music] [Applause] well he did not report but you saw the other official come in and say maybe he didn't report we've seen this happen before all it takes is somebody to see him sort of rubbing his chest that's the signal it means I'm an eligible receiver and if some official raises his hand and goes okay I got it [Music] report as an eligible receiver the ruling on the field is completed pass first down we have it and you can take a look at it here all right here he comes in right there let's see if he's rubbing his chest that's it absolutely it was no question so the play counts it is a pickup of 21 yards to the 33-yard line the Patriots have run nine plays all of them passes now Tony currently announces that plumbing is eligible I think plumbing and so they didn't thank God I didn't have to go back to build balances so is Mason at fullback [Applause] first time we see the LeGarrette Blount their leading rusher carry the ball tonight their first rushing play gain of two second and eight the Patriots this season almost two-thirds pass to run it's the lowest running rate in team history so Tom Brady of course has had that arm limbered all season long meanwhile Sylvester Williams in Ward is down as well there's the nose tackle sylvester williams wants to come off TJ Ward was also shaken on the play Vance Walker comes in along the defensive front and David Bruton comes in in the secondary so you got two starters out for the moment for the Broncos Trey Jackson Sylvester Williams back getting TJ Ward as well as a two-for-one shot so Brady goes five wide on second down and [Applause] [Music] that is Brandon Bolden taking it out to the 50 yard line and that will probably take us to the end of the courtroom as Brady wants to hurry it up here and indeed we will move on to the second stanza end of one the New England Patriots seven the Denver Broncos nothing and Sunday Night Football from Denver resumes after these messages [Music] start the second quarter in denver al michaels chris collins where the show the foil Sunday Night Football its first intent for the Patriots and their own 49-yard to the outside and that is quoted by Asante Cleveland just activate Shaquille Barrett makes the tackle either one and you can see already what the game plan is hear from Josh McDaniels he's going to try and force these linebackers that are used to playing man coverage but in unusual situations on the prior play Brandon Bolton was flanked all the way out with Danny Trevathan on him motion in a little make those guys make plays they're not used to making second an eye coordinator was the head coach here you know part of 10 Grady and that's broken up flag is thrown however a kid to leave was covering on the play got two flags both in the secondary and Tony Caretti will get it sorted out and that's Warren and Williams there fellas both teams that will offset pass interference defense number 21 pass interference Snover 87 will offset [Applause] it looked like to leaf was pretty clean knocking the ball away maybe he hooked that back arm yeah you can see it right there as he tried to grab the backside arm there and here's Gronkowski just comes off and sort of plows right in the Brandon Marshall and they got it for that one so that makes it second down and nine at the 50-yard line first minute of the second quarter surveying sliding his left throws and that's incomplete you know you look at the Patriots and everybody's gone are they gonna do you got a moment is hurt that's a big blow it Amendola he's gone at least for tonight but you keep forgetting you got broadcasting it fells pretty good tool and he can still throw to the running backs and they just they just figure out a way to beat you when you got enough for 12 back there so that's not a bad place to start but we just saw it there again that they are not going to let Gronkowski get the one-on-one at first drive I'm not sure why that happened on that first drive can I be surprised if that happens but for this game they were pretty stunning 39 and Grady fire in by Keshawn Martin but he looks at the snakes and he as close to a first down let's see if they give it to him nope he's gonna be about a yard short so Martin who started the season with the Houston Texas and with tonight would be he's Brady's number two wide receiver comes up a little bit short fourth down and Allen is in to punt but he is their number one slot guys really takes the job of a man inside he's gonna have to bake big flag is thrown that to the engine [Applause] so before Aswan Allah takes over we'll find out here where they will start this Drive well covering Matthew Slater the perennial Pro Bowl or on the outside you see that little Jersey pull and drove them right out of bounds on an utterly meaningless play you can't keep blocking out of bounds either turning the kick unsportsmanlike conduct personal foul number 21 went out of bounds [Applause] the cost of a few and I'll start the drive from deep within our own territory little thumbnail for you Brock Osweiler offer the basketball scholarship to the Gonzaga he grew up in Montana played football at Arizona State online through 11 single-season records passes completions pass yards and percentage 68 dan McGuire who is the brother of baseball's Mark McGwire was the other six foot eight inch quarterback years ago [Applause] Vernon Davis he's the fun ice wallet he had to pick between football and basketball he loved football more he was offered scholarships to Stanford Jim Harbaugh recruited him Arizona State and Florida State he picked Arizona State because his parents love to see him play go to every game there they are and there was a nonstop flight in those years between Kalispell Montana and Phoenix to make it easier for them you don't make any connections he is an entertaining guy Gary Kubiak asked him to give a speech to the team he said I've been on the team for four years the long snapper had given a speech I still hadn't he was honored to do it he said I really appreciate that five minutes that he gave me didn't think about it beforehand that everybody said he was a cool customer entertained him and gave her great confidence going into that Chicago game if you're around and it's not too big for him now for sure 30,000 for from the 16 yard line that gets batted up in the air and picked off at the 20-yard line so the six foot 8 inch quarterback has it batted at the line of scrimmage and the Windland takes over at the 20 yard line Chandler Jones got his hand on it Chabal sheared right here on the outside of this thing is going to get the pressure right up and around and get his hand on the arm of Osweiler then that thing shoots straight up in the air and one of the best athletes around Chandler Jones is going to go rebound a little bits that take that guns AGGA and that was what you didn't want to have happen so they drive the length of the field he takes the sack they have to punt it away the Patriots drive down there's no field it whatsoever out of that now the Patriots are in busy cheered with the assist [Applause] first down at the 15 yard line [Applause] blank Grady going across the line and that did a whistles Von Miller unabated unless he was induced hurts our zoning facts had unabated the quarterback defense silver 58 five-yard penalty let's go to Michelle well TJ Ward and Sylvester Williams you saw them both leave the field on a cart both are questionable with ankle injuries they are in the x-ray room Sylvester Williams has had his done Ward just went in so we'll get the results as soon as we can Michelle two starters missing in the course of - DeMarcus Ware with a back injury and he's missing his fourth game in six weeks [Applause] on the first ensure it goes jeans white but I'm gonna get second down and four you know a lot of new looks on this offensive line they were not good a week ago so now they bring Sebastian Ballmer who usually plays right tackle to left tackle they put Marcus cannon who had struggled with that right big toe of his from right tackle the left tackle Center would be as much pressure on that toe we watched the tape he barely would put that right foot in the ground and it really hurt him playing left tackle last week looks much better now on the right side - on a second and four and it's caught there by wife and he gets taken down by Danny for Ave 'then third down and four at the any Trevathan made a heck of an interception last week against the Chicago Bears running with the tight end down the middle of the field backers are going to be key they're good cover guys the Tom Brady clearly wants to get his backs and tight ends working on those guys let's see if he attacks there again Brady finish that shot after shot last week he said later was three and a half hours of agitation but they won the game third four free for the touchdown is shameless there Chandler so Tom Brady able to exploit the weaknesses in that secondary worn out Chandler's able to get free touchdown to England and there's Bruton the replacement for TJ Ward that was just a too deep zone defense not contact not allowing Chandler to get outside of them should have been von Miller who probably has absolutely no experience doing that when he allowed that outside release it was just pitch and catch for Tom Brady the former Buffalo Bill with his third touchdown catch has a patriot so bulk New England touchdowns and I scored by the tight ends the interception set today dasta's before the extra point and with 10:40 to go in the opening half the Weyland in the altitude there's the pic 14 to nothing [Music] Rainey Manning wasn't to be tonight but they've met 16 times regular and postseason Thomas taking the measure 11 of those 16 and through the years some encoder but what a duel it has been into the stadium two names the Broncos practice the other day [Music] walking shoes also nursing some sore ribs and hopes to be back not next week but maybe the week after at the end of this season have one of those amazing stories [Music] touchback heels take a look at the what the adornment is on the foot of Peyton Manning at before the game could there be another Manning Brady well I guess if Peyton comes back and we meet in the playoffs then you could have 17 yeah it's a legitimate cast on their little fiberglass and obviously they're trying to get that thing healed up and hoping that Brock Osweiler can hold the fort he hasn't done too badly his big mistakes though just like a week ago have come from holding the football when he hasn't found the first receiver open big in this Drive from the 20-yard line where they were effective earlier Anderson gains 3 and we go to Michelle again well guys here's what Peyton Manning's dealing with the plantar fascia attaches the front of the heel to the beginning of the toes forming the base of the arch in the foot manning's is tearing away from his heel resulting in stabbing pain and the majority of it is in the we've highlighted there he's in a walking cast as you mentioned for at least another week to promote healing pain management will be the biggest concern once he returns guys ain't no fun we know that second down and seven he's gonna send it deep the field is batted away at the last moment that's Malcolm Butler the Super Bowl hero batting it away from Emanuel Sanders and we 3rd and 7th you know Malcolm Butler is probably allowed as many or more passing yards [Applause] on this defensive secondary but let me tell you what they've done to this guy he always has the toughest assignment make no mistake about it other guys have played well in the secondary this guy is the Darrelle Revis of this football team right now and he's done a fantastic job meanwhile Demaryius Thomas has been quiet tonight he's only been targeted one time third and seven [Applause] ideas and he's able to pick up a couple of more but still shy of the first down another Denver caught up coming really nice hustle that time by the Patriots defense it looked like Patrick Chung was going to have him wrapped up and then he escapes and would have picked up the first down if the rest of the defense had not been hustling you'll see Rob Ning kovitch flying over here Chung gets the first shot will stiff arm you get off on me but luckily Nick ovitch was hustling and made the play fourth punt of the game for Brittany for spar Barry Ricky from [Applause] tonight balls it in at the 18-yard line and brings it back to the 24 I'm 21 and a half in Denver 14 nothing New England [Music] it was tough with two assistants we probably did like Scott to something my younger sister still playing ball she sweats you can beat me at anything my family a little mom former Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels has come up with a good plan here tonight they are putting these linebackers in difficult coverage situations that they may not be used to being in paid off for a touchdown here on the back end it was sort of a to safety deplored and instead of Von Miller funneling that receiver back to the inside let him the outside to safety had no chance whatsoever mistakes made maybe in part to the fact that TJ Warren [Applause] gravy fire soup incomplete intended for Gronkowski aye McDaniels was here it wasn't a pretty partnership he and Jay Cutler and that's why Cutler left and Josh was fired in the middle of the 2010 season got back to New England under Belichick and I would say right now course he'd be one of the hottest systems I think he is the hottest sis and I asked him about it and they said I talked to Tony Dungy I talked to Bill Belichick I said what's your advice he said they all said own it except the fact that you failed and grow from he said I know now it's all about people and relationships and patience and making good decisions I think I'll be much better next time second and ten good protection for grading [Applause] good tackle made there by Shaquille Barrett on James White upcoming as a third down in five well what do you do if you have won the best pass rushers in football outside you bring in an extra offensive lineman why not there's Cameron Fleming doing a good job protecting that edge Jack Barrett he's really done a pretty tremendous job DeMarcus Ware on the others begin that defense - ward - Williams we're inactive tonight so Wade Phillips had the mix-and-match empty backfield on a third and five a great act that is made there Gronkowski tackled by daring and Stewart former Baltimore Raven and its fourth and three bouts shot out of a cannon Darian Stewart who's really had a nice season this year watch him read this all the way he knew exactly that was coming the minute the crock started down inside and I'm sure Gronk probably thing and that might have been TJ war TJ Ward was the guy that initially injured his knee on a low blow just about like that Allen sending it down toward [Applause] from the 16 [Applause] 23 yard line for those guys pushing those things that's the way I am from the 23 yard line CJ Anderson it's taken down behind the line second down and long you're gonna see Malcolm Brown lining up right here who's starting to make more and more plays they're looking for knock backs it's what they call Matt we need knock backs out of our defensive linemen up front so linga and branch at that time Michael Brown provided a knock back [Applause] and he finds one of his tight ends there that is Owen Daniels Daniels has spent his entire career with Gary Kubiak in Houston for years then when Gary went to Baltimore Lance sewers the offensive coordinator he went there and then when Gary comes here he brought Daniels with him that's a first down yeah two-time Pro Bowler they've had a good relationship and when we have seen Brock Osweiler throw the ball on time when his first receiver is open he's looked really good don't you think out mm-hmm and then when he's had to hold it and find a second or a third I think a little panic sets in and he hasn't been quite as good from the 34 yards oh there's a nice boil exploited by CJ Anderson field a little slippery here gain of eight let's go back and take a look at Osweiler in his throwing motion pretty classic right there over the top tight no wasted motion and then watch how he sort of gets rid of the ball very quickly for a guy 6 7 that is a quick release time but it's the downward trajectory that I think is the most interesting if he threw it at his level all the time receivers would be forced to catch balls above first down Anderson I think he's shrunken he's six eight six seven five eighths there you go round it off that's the first down up at the 47 yard line with less than six to play in the half CJ Anderson's not shrinking at all he is driving that thing up in there pretty hard and when they had that successful drive it was because they were able to run the football much like that 14 runs 14 passes the store some room of the outside Ronnie Hillman but they've bottled him up all night let's go to Michelle we're more shuffling on that Broncos offensive line right guard Luis Vasquez is questionable with a groin injury so Max Garcia has moved over to right and Evan Mathis who has been dealing with an ankle injury is in at left guard guys all right Thank You Michelle so has been healthy not one second this entire years hamstring was so bad it was black from the entire length of his leg he was still playing birch his ankle was going to take the week off and so number 69 a former Philadelphia Eagle and and that will be caught for a first down Emmanuel Sanders who's been on slaughters name man tonight tackled by Butler and that will be a first down at the 39 Ronnie Hillman is gonna pick that one up let's see if this is the catch does he hold on all the way where it's pretty good to me it would have to be challenged to be overturned and Belichick is heard from the guys upstairs you're not gonna win it Hillel just can't get going tonight Anderson's gained 41 yards and Hillman on six carries as Net Zero well Hillman is much more of the explosive player and he's gotten better as a pass protector which given has given him a chance to play more on third down but make no mistake CJ Anderson is the big guy in this backfield and you get a little bit of snow on the field and you get all this stuff going and he's the guy that can break an arm tackle for you occasionally and pick up that extra yardage [Applause] News makes to catch that Engels picks up his second first down on his drive to the 28 yard line having these two tight ends that are vertical threats in the game allow you to also do things like tight end screen so now you sit back you help in to protection a bit and sneak out it doesn't always have to be a running back but both of those guys very adept at running with the ball once they get it in their hands so whether it's Vernon Davis or oh and Daniel's good options on both sides now at the screen game back in on a first down [Applause] humming to the 19-yard line tackle thereby free me gain a nine second down and one I like the job that Matt Paradis is doing the young center watch him right there you gonna reach out here and be able to take care of Malcolm Brown on this one and just stay in front of them once you get big defensive lineman moving laterally you don't have to knock them down you just have to stay on him and that's what Paradis did he saw Hightower on the bench so he's out on the second down and one [Applause] broke away from Jerrod Mayo and Ronnie Hillman even bottled up with two good runs back-to-back to make it a one-possession game 19 yards to the TV there you go we talked about these tight ends watch Vernon Davis the two wideouts on the outside Benny Fowler and Cody Latimer good blocks too but it was Byrne and Davis able to seal out on the outside and there goes the explosiveness of Hillman let's see if we got a little hole there maybe a little bit by Fowler but they were kind of grabbing each other's jerseys one thing Brandon McManus released and Deborah with a much-needed drive as doing we'll get the ball and then they will get the ball to start the second half 207 to go to the Han 14-7 aerial coverage being brought to you by Geico that's the city and county building all decorated in front of the Colorado State Capitol in the snow flurries on this Sunday night with the temperature in the low 20s now in Denver Colorado that was good rock Osweiler at that time they put together two long drives one resulted in nothing but they do get the touchdown on that one 77 yards 10 plays couple of big catches by Daniels Sanders made a big play as well and Brady will start his drive from the 20 we can tell you the 79 football being brought to you by Toyota let's go places by Bose music deserves Bose by Microsoft Surface the official tablet of the NFL and by minions owned it December the 8th killed his ship friend she won the World Cup slalom in Aspen yesterday which is going to be something looking into the Olympics Mashburn Kelly days following that of course former Ballad of Billy Hayes it's a little fired up for the Olympics from the 20-yard line LeGarrette Blount [Applause] picks up a couple they've been going to the ear have the Patriots all night very little on the ground to it [Music] father weigh-in on Manning and [Applause] second down and eight now from the 22 yard line keep it on the ground LeGarrette Blount and he bikes his way for a first down to the 31 yard line Patriots have only run the ball four times on 22 plays in this half yeah they keep after it they're good inside Brian stork taking back over at the center position and Trey Jackson and a right guard now [Applause] up to the 36 he goes packs have all of their timeouts second and five well you have to get a little nervous if you're playing defense against the Patriots right before the half right this is smoking they all tend to double up on you score one here and then score one at the beginning of the second half they deferred get the ball in the third quarter second down and five but into the ground they go so it's the past past past and now it's run one and that'll make it third down and three the flipside of this is the Broncos are heating up a little bit on offense so this becomes a big third down play here [Applause] time outs left they choose if somebody is going to take it's an idealistic talk stops to the mentally at the end of this play Bradley Roby Annan Gronkowski why very Stuart walks that way Denver can take a timeout if they so choose on a third and three is jeans white get stuff so they don't go to the air at all here on this drive and the Broncos have chosen not to take a timeout and they'll just go to the locker room content being down by 7 but New England will get the ball as we start the third quarter now don't you think that Gary Kubiak is probably thinking what my quarterback just had his best drive of the day let's go in with a little confidence at halftime yeah either that about Denver well now they take your time I'd have nothing else and I would have taken a timeout just to make them putt bees you don't go in these conditions with a snap a block and all of that but they do take the timeout which is going to force them to find it ok NFL fans you can order your holiday gifts medical shop.com save up to 20% that the official store of the NFL NFL shop and Michelle will win again Michelle well Dante Hightower went back to the locker room questionable with an e so another linebacker you know Jamie Collins not in this game either al so we'll find out if Hightower can come back to the second half all right Thank You Michelle is you could see Patrick Chong got knocked right on to the left knee there of Dante Hightower and those are arguably two of the best players on this entire football team have to throw Chandler Jones and [Applause] [Music] there first and anyone who takes a time what's interesting here is that New England figuring it's only five seconds Denver waited for the time instead of punting why not have Brady take one shot at the end zone or just take it and throw it straight up in the air [Applause] there's your five set there you go and that'll kill the clock so it didn't want to punt it's a one-possession game is 14-7 that's our halftime score coming up next week - are the halftime after these messages [Music] snowy night Denver Colorado temperature in the low twenties back we come to Sports Authority Field the buzz tonight Tom Brady 106 yards and two passing touchdowns both to his tight ends Brock Osweiler 87 yards through the air Grogg 63rd career TD catch third most by a tight end in history and Demaryius Thomas is not only not caught a pass tonight he is not targeted more than one time the surprising what happens in the second actor woman gets the ball at the 20-yard line and we go to Michelle well we talked about the three Denver injuries in the first half nose tackle Sylvester Williams safety TJ Ward and right guard Luis Vasquez I talked to Gary Kubiak he said it doesn't look good for any of the three nothing official yet but he's happy with the way his team is adjusted and he said we're just gonna have to continue to adjust as for Patriots linebacker Donte Hightower again nothing official he is back on the sidelines wearing a sleeve over that left me guys hey Thank You Michelle and they have done a good job of justing on that defensive side twenty four degrees now already had some snow could be as many as three inches before it's said and done as LeGarrette Blount plows ahead for a gain of one they can get second down a nine there's interesting didn't you think the comments that Tom Brady gave us when we were meeting with him he said you know for the first time in my entire career I feel really solid he thinks he sees all the all the reads all the defense's all the looks here's a guy who was the NFL MVP twice Super Bowl MVP three times and just now he's starting to feel solid he should lock pin 15 years second and nine from the 21 yard line [Applause] Brady going down thanks Walker great spin movie did a full spin around it but a flag is down and to give me a personal foul here on another personal foul [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] boy if your barkos pan here comes von miller he's gonna fall on his back first one fine second one the penalty you just I know how frustrating it gets trying to get after Tom Brady he's so quick releasing the football but that was just the killer right there after that big play no question otherwise it would have been third down and long and said it's a first down up at the 29 yard line LeGarrette Blount is the running back that's podcasting going over to the right side fires over the middle and it's caught by Gronkowski so they moved them to the right side came out of the slot cuts across the field Darrin Stewart makes the tackle gained at 22 and this is really where Tom Brady kills you he puts Gronk in motion he knows from that motion that Darian Stuart's gonna have him in man coverage goes play-action and hits the middle of the field where there's absolutely nobody there it is his ability to decipher between man and zone it gets guys like Rob Gronkowski opened as successfully is Bukowski averaging almost 17 yards perception the season which is gigantic for a tight end League average is about ten and a half [Applause] feel incomplete it was Brandon LaFell okay back Darian Stewart covering on the play second and ten von Miller and the frustration from that penalty that you'll see part of the reason why now Bulmer back in the game on the left side and they've got two-for-one blocking him on the other side they put in an extra offensive tackle Cameron Flemming and it's just been tough so now he's been in coverage situations that he's not used to doing these tight ends splitting out and there it is there's the penalty that kept this drive alive second to ten the play clock at zero and Grady upsetting they actually take a timeout [Applause] a Brady well he spent three and a half hours of agitation the other night try to get the time out here that he doesn't know that's Tom yeah you know it's a different look I mean this offensive line from the beginning of the year has been shuffled and shuffled again Brian storks been back a few weeks he was on that concussion IR to start the season he was there Center a year ago it's been David Andrews they just keep flip-flopping around but this is really the first time they've been healthy up front but they haven't played a lot of football together they really haven't this group I think is the one they hope settles in here but they haven't played a lot together second and ten from the 49 [Applause] couldn't fool anybody good-looking play at the inception David Bruton is there for the tackle back we go to Michelle just got the official updates on those three Denver players we were telling you about Sylvester Williams TJ Ward both now downgraded to out as is Luis Vasquez when they get back on the offensive side of the ball Thank You Michelle yeah you see a couple of guys go off on a cart chances are you're not going to see him for the rest of the night and that is the case here third down and ten wait folks he was a coach here in the early nineties for two seasons his defense dancing and Grady's going to go double coverage that Thailand Brandon LaFell nice call by Wade Phillips there we've been seeing man man man coverage all the time and then in that third down and long he comes out and plays his own defense and Brady thought why not let's just take a shot down the field here see if we can take advantage of some of those injuries in the game could cover up by Omar Bolton there at the end of it there Shane ray the young rookie pass rush is a good one bounce out at the 11 yard line that's what Denver will have the ball for the first time in the second hand with the Patriots leading to 14 [Music] Patriots are 10 and out Brady it's the second time he's had a tenant no team Peyton's had two of them in oh five and oh nine in Indianapolis as far as coaches and concerned Bellatrix not better twice Julie did at 72 and went all the way that was the perfect season and again in 84 don't hear much about the perfect season yet dude it was like they were kind of been there done that they almost got there but they will start doing it talking about it anyway does the pass is incomplete intended for Demaryius Thomas only the second time he's been targeted tonight and he's not caught a ball yeah and that's just strictly a timing issue you can't get an easier route than that you know when it's his own defense your guys going to go out and turnout us while they're thought he was going to go a little sharper to the out and said he just turned around and that's just not playing together on a second down of 10 from the 11 the first breaking tackles beautiful run out to the 27 yard line but Cordy stops him there he got 16 on the play we talked about max Garcia a little bit now he has struggled a little bit with his pass blocking this year but he is a devastating run blocker we saw him come in the Cleveland game for Evan Mathis a little bit and immediately there was an uptick in the run game maybe it's happening again in this one from the 26 yard one to cut it back when he's meant right there Malcolm Brandon on the stop short gain second and eight a really nice job by Chandler Jones on that one setting that hard edge as they say Chandler Jones having one of those incredible seasons where couple the Broncos guys were saying they think he's should be in the voting for MVP of the league that may be a little bit strong but at least so far he has been very dynamic ten and a half sacks on the year third in the NFL CJ Sanderson let's coming and Osweiler steps away and it goes a little bit too high intended therefore Demaryius Thomas so they still can't get it to their leading receiver well so far you've got your leading receiver e as 875 yards where the catch is but it has been Logan Ryan who maybe is the unsung hero of this football team this year Ryan already has four interceptions on the year and basically is taken Demaryius Thomas out of the game so third down and eight from the 27 yard line they truths trying to go to 11 alone Denver try to go to 9 and 2 and before he goes down he picks up the first night of the flag is thrown this tavon wilson grabbed him around the neck so this should tack on 15 more tavon Wilson knew he's in trouble [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I call that one on Mayo 51 he meant Yvonne we'll see ya right down here in the flat and it was when Wilson tried to get over the top of those receivers coming down to the inside and really no question about the call a little bit of a patriot looking kind of a pick rub slash whatever play that came back to haunt the Patriots on that one Eric Fleming is now in the game for high town he won't want Thompson the number three running back Wow straight ahead for a gain of about three and they're in on the tackle a guy who's becoming more and more significant now Jonathan Franey the inside linebacker picked him up from the Dolphins he is very run specific to this defense but is Jamie Collins goes out injured and Hightower now is banged up it is really on him and drawed Mayo now is gonna have to build that roll as well second and seven so he's trying to move up in the pocket and Malcolm brento their number one draft choice out of Texas will get the sack there down take the guy that's getting harder and harder to flock and that's jabal Shearer coming off of the edge right here he's going to go right through Schofield now he's not going to get credit for that sack that he and Chandler Jones forced Osweiler's to step up so quickly there it was for Malcolm Brown I believe it was to make the sack 3-yard sack it's going to be third down and ten for at the 46 yard line [Applause] Manuel Sanders another big catch for number ten we missed last week's game came back from an ankle injury that was a third 10th first down gained to 21 and let's give some credit to Sanders on this one this one you know you're gonna take a shot he said I'm okay with it it's third down just throw it in here big guy and that was well-read he had to wait for that backside window to pop open huge conversion right there to now get him down in field goal range [Applause] well the 30-yard line Ronnie Hillman is the running back [Applause] Darrius fleming makes the tackle holding offense number 69 10-yard penalty replay first down well let's take a look at that one I thought Matt Paradis helped Evan Mathis and knocked let's see if Paradis comes over here to help Evan Mathis and basically forces him to the ground sometimes it can be deceiving guy has his hands inside like that and I think the help had a lot to do you see that hooked underneath that left shoulder pad though I think that's what they call that's why Mathis looked up and he said what kind of a close that first and 20 that is caught and that is on Daniels so a first and 20 picks up 10 making it second down and 10 love the play by us while they're there that's a veteran play right there he's seen peyton manning do that enough you just get the yardage back that you lost on the penalty so now you're back in field goal range once again fall at the 30-yard line [Music] yard lines getting a steward smokes it's the beginning of the game as far as even a step away that's not the way incomplete intended for Logan Ryan trying to get it to Thomas could again third and 10 the merriest Thomas should have had this catch he stopped coming back to the ball he drove down deep enough but then it was Logan Ryan who kept coming for the football and not the mayor right there allowed Logan Ryan to get there should have been a completion [Applause] so third and ten at the 30 little over seven to play in the third four receivers to the left [Applause] get away but he gets left as he throws it Chandler Jones and jabal shears came in and now you got about a 48 yard attempt which normally would be pretty easy but of course in these conditions nothing is that easy Jonathan Franny little tool a blitz and then he's going to come shooting inside here Osweiler saw it at the last second and really makes a great play that was the play he took a sack on a week ago he's learning spotted at the 3248 yard attempt man this is just only one field goal this season that the 52 yarder Cleveland [Applause] and he's missed a second so again under the circumstances anything but easy New England's gonna get the ball at the 38 yard line with 657 to go on to third in Denver and the Patriots on top 14 to 7 [Music] so our producer Fred Goodell II aka the boss he thinks of everything so it's time for virtual numbers so you can't see him there but now you can see them there now dad makes it a lot easier for everybody we'll keep that in as long as the field looks like this the ball is at the 38 yard line first half on a drawer play your game in mind it's Brandon golden stopped at the 47 yard line it'll be second down and one for New England now they're just trying to find the right combination of players now at that running back position Bolton's a little bit bigger guy James White probably a little shifty er better receiver but they're at what sort of the closer the hammer may be at the fourth quarter but they're still trying to replace Dion Lewis it has not been for the year and what a tackle there by Derek wolf comes in again and burst through that take bold and down behind the line of scrimmage say what Derek wolf is having a monster return to football after that suspension we have seen him all over the place and Josh Klein to this point for my money has been their best offensive lineman and he's now made a couple of plays against him loss of one third people stamping their feet camera shaking the way Brady can be heard with this day an inside drone that's gonna be stopped short of the first down wolf stops Bouldin again making it fourth down and one you know it's really interesting isn't it out that we've seen some third down in shorts before the half and now this one where they have opted for the run and taken the ball out of Tom Brady's hands you wonder how much of that has to do with no Edelman no Amendola no Dion Lewis the guys that he used to throw on the ball quickly so fourth and one and we're gonna get a measurement or a think about it measurement right it's always great you call for a measurement and instead of taking a time out to think about it you just exactly like them not do that really not even that close not to think about it so forth the bat much there's no reason to not park out it but brady's are he left the field so he won't be hard counting from over there this will be Alan's fifth punt of the game set a pretty good 90s averaging 43 for these conditions [Applause] 20-yard line if you can [Applause] in there but it is stopped outside the goal line so with his heels it hit that line it would have been on the floor very close it didn't 52-yard take a beauty right here on NBC the ball is down the three that's where Denver begins this drive [Applause] offense number 17 [Applause] [Music] your quarterback taking it back to the one-and-a-half so they get the head nod and Patricia gives it a head nod and the head bob there you go but it got his guy to jump offsides good job really by Osweiler to think of that it's been his CJ Anderson to get out of there the slippery surface branch is there for the tackle second at 11:00 I'm coming we're seeing now that is going to be a bigger and bigger responsibility throughout this game Jerrod Mayo he is gonna have to fill in at least for this game now and here's a guy just barely a year removed from knee surgery he's been playing a little bit more all the time but now he's gonna have to take on a full-time role [Applause] [Music] last night [Music] breathing warm CJ Anderson makes the catch to the six yard line third down and seven at least on a putt they wanted to punt from the back of the endzone maybe what we've seen is that some of those inside runs have done well but the one home run that they hit in this game was when Ronnie Hillman went around the edge with a couple of wide receivers flanked out and something that looked just about like this on the right side over here that was their touchdown play [Applause] that is juggled and not caught the merriest Thomas again has not selected anything tonight Ryan with the coverage fourth down it's a toughest playing football right there you got a slant underneath you've got to run underneath the receiver and I just don't think Thomas ever quite got a grip was helped by Logan Ryan's hand being in there to strip it away but that was a big big play in the ballgame right there on third down and now Colquitt to put it in the air [Applause] Chris Parker [Applause] thirty-five that's what they needed to get out of trouble a 59-yard food from the 35-yard line this drive begins with plumps up to the 38 so Tom Brady Dion Lewis was such a big part of the first half of the season tours NCL week nine Edelman broke his foot could be back should be back for the playoffs Amendola sprained his knee last week and he didn't even make the trip might play next week we'll see when they meet Philadelphia he's not only a great receiver but the leading punt returner in the Lee second and seven [Applause] Chandler so Tom Tom Brady you think about he's seen everything lovely he said he's like almost of the top news maybe he is he wants to play the least 45 what do you think you're gonna tell them II can't you know what we've seen historically is at about 39 there is a pretty steep cliff they all seem to go off of and I think you could almost do that line of demarcation with what we've seen from Peyton but who knows he takes care of himself he said he's as these special programs he felt great on Wednesday with me I enjoy watching him play that's my Jack Benny never went over the cliff he was with Gary's blood for a gain of about three you know you showed that graphic though and I find it interesting it's it's one of the unusual parts of the Patriots in my opinion is that this team really never had elite speed they they just don't on this offense what they have is elite quickness unfortunately the elite quickness is now injured it's an eagle looks second date the 48 under two minutes to play in the third quarter rady stepping up fires on benda for Gronkowski yeah let's go back and we'll look at some of these slide receivers over the years I think you might recognize a few names Troy Brown and all the magical things he's done for this franchise Wes Welker as good as there's ever been doing this just a little bit then Julian Edelman and his amazing play we saw so good in the Super Bowl and now all those easy first downs are no longer there for Tom Brady and he floats one downside intercepted attending to Chandler and is to lead reaching for but the field is really coming into play on almost everything right now keep to leave with a nice recovery there he had to this is him right out here he's got a hustle his way out there they had an adjustment and he just took off and ran and lucky for him he got his head around there or that could have been one of those cutoff pass interference calls this defense has played really well since the first quarter especially losses two key guys very short cut off the foot of Alan [Applause] he's looking for a running into the kicker from Todd Davis and will not 34 yards [Applause] from the 18-yard line [Applause] logo from the 49ers about three or four weeks ago longtime 49ers tight in makes the catch here that's a gain of six yards second and four yeah and it's a good idea to get him going here's the guy that has big play explosive ability and sometimes as a receiver if you can just get your hands on the ball get you back in the flow of the game maybe we can get to some of those vertical threats now that the snow is going to slow down this pass rush two catches for Davis tonight caught six last week in Chicago for the Ronnie Hillman loses the ball but alertly the broncos are able to recover so Hillman coughed it up and then Garcia winds up recovering it to save the day at least for the moment maybe third down looked like Chandler Jones they're able to get off the block of Mathis and get his hands on that one gonna come from the inside here and stripped that ball out and that might have been game set and match if the Patriots jumped on that one loss of two at the end of the day on that play its third down and eight now from the 20-yard line final minute final half minute of the third quarter [Applause] batted away Benny founded the intended receiver and Patrick Chung says not in my direction forth down the poor throw it was definitely behind Fowler at that time there was some space in front and just thrown behind they should have been able to pick up that first down [Applause] Colquitt will do the hunting [Applause] good tackled up at the 35-yard line seven seconds remaining in the third so you've got the Panthers at 11 and no big Thanksgiving they went so impressive against the Cowboys the Patriots that's what they've got left pass have the Eagles then they go to Houston and we have just flexed into that game so in two weeks two weeks from tonight we will be in Houston where the Texans are rolling as well meeting the Patriots who put them in 11 and OH JJ Watt has decided to take over this league that defense is just been dominant for a month now in the 35-yard line [Applause] and it's incomplete Scott Chandler was the intended receiver two ticks remaining in the quarter it's the same way they scored a touchdown on the earlier Drive they've got a linebacker walked out but they're not getting any contact on that outside player and so you're getting a free Lane down the boundary the safety is in the middle of the field too deep and you can't get there they always train those corners jam them from the outside enforce them in so that the safety can get there each quarterback 15 of 25 for almost a senior this is building the core the differences mas water no TVs one pick Brady two TVs into the third 14 7 as the score Sunday Night Football from Denver back into this there's Robert crafty longtime owner of the matrix on the team now for over two decades good when he took over [Applause] before the four major North American team sports they would have the best winning person over that period of time third down and eight now Michaels Cris Collinsworth Michele Tafoya on Sunday night is Brady survey [Music] [Applause] tackles goes into the enzone Brandon Bolden throwing over Danny Trevathan the linebacker covering 63 yards on a third down and eight that's what's happened all night long they have isolated these linebackers in coverage positions they're not used to being in for Danny Trevathan he is not used to having to cover up back that is 40 yards down the field it has just been a tremendous game plan tonight by Josh McDaniels in light of all the weapons that he lost he has isolated these linebackers in key situations and taken advantage second touchdown reception of the season for Brandon Bolden [Applause] and that took a little bit of air out of the [Applause] just asking out for the extra point [Applause] ten seconds done in the fourth quarter it is doing 121 Denver seven [Music] great play call got the match up they wanted bold and who caught only five passes all season coming in has three tonight so most TD passes in history Payton with 539 Brett with 508 and Brady and Marino are now tied for third them [Applause] [Music] career texting you'll see true faith and take this underneath route because he's used to when the back comes out going in the flat whatever but when he wheels up and he goes under he can't get back underneath it so now it turns into a foot race on a bad field and you give up the big play you're hoping not to a big part of that though is Sebastien Vollmar over on the left switching off that play against Shane ray providing Tom Brady just enough time for that out nob three touchdown passes for Brady tonight [Applause] the Sanders doubled that time coverage by Devin McCourty with some help from his friends in his second down at 10 yeah and it's one of the things that they wanted to get to tonight unfortunately when you're down 14 some of those bootlegs and some of those things that look so good when you're running game is going it's not going to fool anybody defensively now now they're protecting against those big plays [Applause] Ellen branch got a hand on it and it will be third down and 10 we talked so much and there's Matt Patricia we talked so much though about the ability of these edge pass rushers but more often than not a lot of times what makes the play is if you get that interior push by one of those guys there's allen branch just taking paradis right back into the quarterback to make the play [Applause] squatter look out and that pass is incomplete you had Mayo flying through the middle knocking ah swallow down he gets up limping Thomas can't make the catch and it's fourth down yeah Mayo is just so deep here you don't think he's going to come do you think he's going to end up going it with a pressure when he blitzes it looks almost like a delayed blitz and the center paradis really didn't even anticipate him coming because of the depth and he gets a good shot on Osweiler there boy I tell you it is not much depth Trevor Simeon would be next in [Applause] was that Cody Latimer down there on the coverage of Chris Harper lost it and the Patriots are going to contend that they have it Edgar says I've got that the officials are going to go Denver there's no Amendola see got the rookie Harper and you got Latimer down there and here comes ender but he's not going to get there before Barrett gets there Jack Barrett recovers for the Broncos to set it up at the 36 yard line wasn't it a botched punt in that game that huge comeback by New England up there that sort of turned the tables on that one and now Brock Osweiler will see how he's doing last time we saw him he was letting off the field he was welcome when he was playing for Denver after he'd left the England now at the 36 yard line [Applause] but then the pass is incomplete intended for Owen Daniels [Applause] there's just been a few of those in the game where it is looks so easy these are easy pitch and catch kind of plays but you're just not used as the backup quarterback to know and what each individual guy is going to do we have seen him now on several key throws I don't think it's a lack of accuracy I think it's just a lack of timing with specific receivers with poor me you make a million excuses here second and ten [Applause] that's going to set up a third down and five little under 14 to play in the fourth sort of interesting strategically you've already missed one long field goal do you play this as four down territory here and think in terms of I don't need to get it all on this one play who would have ever thought they would target Demaryius Thomas eight times tonight then he wouldn't have a catch [Applause] thirty-six [Applause] here they come it's Anders to the 14-yard lives he's made a bunch of big plays tonight nothing bigger than that well that's a gain of 17 to keep the drive alive and that's because this offensive line picked up this blitz they sent everybody here they're bringing the house and that plenty of time for Sanders had just got a little natural pick on the outside against Malcolm Butler depict that a big-time play CJ Anderson a nice block hanging in there as well [Applause] Santa's got fired for 74 from the 15 [Applause] [Music] to the outside Anderson can I swing around the corner [Applause] is into the touchdown that may offend one of the best jump cuts I've seen all season he is hot tonight watch how far up and here he gets and then laterally like a crab would run almost straight sideways all the way around everybody including a safety in a corner on the outside we are seeing the CJ Anderson that we saw at the end of last year when he had eight touchdowns in last eight games and 767 yards and there he is again great play the turnover they make it pay off they turned it into a one possession game with 12 and a half to go mid - not for the extra point so the Denver Broncos got the great that they needed 21 14 with 12 and a half to go [Music] Sunday night football being brought to you by the Kia Sorento built for football families Amazon Prime and millions of ways to save the day Puma forever faster to see we have seen many many times 16 times as we see the kid tonight before the game under different circumstances you know that crazy machine a really speedy Recovery's gonna be out at least next week and then we'll see the possibility that will be that's gonna be one of the big story lines here in Denver already is when Payton wasn't playing very well everybody not everybody some people thinking it's time to get the other guy in they give him a chance now you know he's gonna miss next week but then we will see you stand be interesting to see what they do down the stretch win Payton gets healthy and how does Brock Osweiler do you know I mean this is an offense that obviously fits Osweiler better than it does paint Manning but they Ross Peyton Manning in there and that new hybrid side it'll be a very interesting thing I think if Manning's ready he will play but who knows we've seen stranger things happen from the 20-yard line [Applause] Jennifer Scott changer see what Tony for 76 10-yard penalty first down Sebastian Ballmer watch the left hand of Sebastian Vollmer he is going to come out here and get that left hand right underneath the facemask a von Miller here and then not only get it there but that made it pretty easy out here would be pretty big the momentum would be shifting into the major and a good field position you know like and it's caught over the 18 Chandler makes the catch second down and 12 now we're starting to see a little more zone because of some of the game planning of tom brady and josh mcdaniels and some of the ways that this man coverage has gotten him Wade Phillips now is dropping into a few zones let's see what he does here this is in my opinion this series of the game Wade Phillips or Nanook of the North second and 11 [Applause] pass intended again for Scott Chandler who going his way a lot of times tonight third down in a letter Marshall well they've got what they want they want one-on-one with their tight ends on the outside against these linebackers Brandon Marshall was up to the task there this is von Miller if you ever got pressure out of bond Miller this is where you need it right now you can't have Brady back there surveying to feel is going to give him a little chip on the way and the pressure gets away flags join [Applause] and he'll get taken down to 29 but a flag is down in the offensive backfield here comes guarantee does it an offensive hole [Applause] [Music] so that is Trey Jackson he is a rookie fourth round pick at a Florida State that would have been a 51-yard game yeah Miller's gonna loop around here Trey Jackson's going to pick him up and not be able to hold them out and then the pressure on Brady Brady escapes makes the huge play but all for naught and gets whacked at the end as well says it all yes it's a bit touch third and 20 rocking it on in Denver and then Brady has to just dump it because the pressure was put on by Miller Miller coming in brainy upset with beretti fourth and 20 well they had a screen pass going to the left it wasn't going to fool anybody plus by Miller went unblocked around the edge and so Tom Brady said I think I'll get out of here and go yell at Tony Corinne T one time [Applause] he drops the ball at 44 yard line and recovers it at the 45 yard line the broncos keep recovering theirs and the Patriots dulled that's kind of the difference in the day yes it is 58 to go in regulation in the second point [Music] quarterback comparison tonight I'm Brady with three touchdowns so he has better numbers than Osweiler does aa smaller sack three times passing bite this is everything shortening the conditions kind of compel it and that's been part of the story of the game from the 45-yard line first thing through gain of eight yards let's go to Michelle well Pat's linebacker Dante Hightower has no change in his status al he is still questionable with that knee injury it happened late in the first half he's been out here the entire second half but just sitting on the bench sometimes helmet with his in his hands sometimes not but just sitting hi Michelle so missing him and Jamie Collins not even on the trip Hill for about three weeks got back to practice but not here tonight well Hillman get stopped by sollunga right there division leaders New England big lead in the east Cincinnati winning today beats st. Louis Denver on top in the West that won't change an Indian of dog fight in that South which has bunched up right now with Houston there as well at six and five heading it's amazing but he's not texting Brett farm when Brooks on the ear busting our job right [Applause] play action that buys time by Owen Daniels for a first down the angles covered on the outside but not well enough first of all great protection but Osweiler had to throw this one a long way on a line we are seeing now the Patriots so far down Darius Fleming who just came up from the practice squad out there and coverage on this one but watch this protection all the way across the board no way that happens unless he gets it at the 34 [Applause] it's wrapped up by Rob think of it to come down under nine minutes to go in regulation and say we have seen a lot of good blocking on the backside of runs and it's why we've seen some of these cutbacks watch these guys back here on the backside hang with it and the back knows stay frontside stay frontside but then the last minute break back there and you get all that momentum push down and that's where some of those big runs have come second and seven from the 34 it open first down CJ Anderson down the sideline and CJ Anderson takes the ball to the ten Patrick Chung stops him there's to make it first down and goal I think we're gonna declare CJ Anderson a Mudder he seems to have no problems whatsoever in some of these lateral cuts he's making people miss left and right out there on the field just a low center of gravity and here's the guy maybe now he is just gonna do what he did a season ago which is just take over the game in the second half of the year you know Eddie Lacy's a little bit like that how you do over the Green Bay Packers is best games late well last year Anderson came on he gave them a real shot at the end of the season then he started the season as the starter then they went to Hillman with Anderson backing him up he may get his job back here yeah the other interesting part of this is that because that Luis Vasquez is out of the game now he is probably their best pass blocker inside but max Garcia and Evan Mathis are the best run blockers and maybe in this game that's more significant now second down and goal from the seven poor receivers set to the right oh yeah and he gets tackled at the 3 yard line setting up a 3rd and goal [Applause] that's one of those for Andre Caldwell you'd really greatly prefer that he'd catch that ball and just head north and south right now there's math Patricia expecting a little girl here in a couple of weeks his wife's Reina Congrats to all of them [Applause] third and going putting Anderson back in no doubt in my mind what I'd be doing here I think CJ Anderson has proven that we can make this happen somehow scream and it to them something this Demaryius finest catch a ball tonight well we'll find out in a minute wake up all the way down gonna be third down and goal first so next Sunday night speaking of our friend mr. Matt Hasselbeck character he did it again that I let nd do a win its Indianapolis at Pittsburgh gonna find out about Ben Roethlisberger under concussion protocol at the end of the game so indeed Beach Tampa Bay today 25 to 12 and Seattle in a while knock off the Pittsburgh Steelers 39 to 30 this burger spectacular day 50 some-odd yards duck [Applause] undergoing the protocol that's next week India pip all right third down and goal empty yeah CJ Anderson comes Olwen to the left we go 5 wide very 1 it's incomplete Thomas the intended receiver was not even close fourth and goal [Applause] [Music] miscommunication again here and I kind of agree with Osweiler on this one this man coverage on the outside and you've got Demaryius Thomas you've got to believe he's going to break to the out against man coverage you don't sit this down you break this out and for whatever reason he just turned around and gave it like it was going to be I don't know who knows that whether or not that's a true option route or not but against man he should have broken it out along the way Logan Ryan is pitching a shutout tonight McManus for the field goal from 21 was 608 to go it's the England 21 in Denver 17 on Sunday Night Football [Music] NFL play 60 the NFL's movement for a more active generation encouraging fans to get moving and play for 60 minutes every day run jump and race to Super Bowl 50 with free NFL play 60 app [Applause] touchback brainy taken over at the 20-yard line now remember what he said is that if we asked him about all the guys missing on this offense he said hey if you need to count on someone brethren count on me it must really have it all be on my plate than someone else's because I know I can handle it we'll see two first downs here [Applause] rocks been a little quiet here lately yeah they've done a good job on him he's got five overall the 74 yards early touchdown James White play action over the middle the past a little bit behind Gronkowski and incomplete second down and 10 Bruton covering on the play boy they had a perfect one going there that the safety come out to center field Gronkowski is going to be wide open on that play and the ball just thrown behind that one had a lot of green grass in front of drawn Kowski on now second and ten again he had a covering TJ Ward Bertrille in the game out so the stove's lows tackle out Wade Phillips has been a Java Justin that's part for a four-yard gain [Applause] it will be third and five but didn't get the man coverage that they had been dealing with on the touchdown for before so just a monster opportunity for this defense a three-and-out give the ball back to young Brock Osweiler with a chance to beat Tom brain [Applause] they pocket that is Gronkowski flag is down [Applause] I'm very physical at the point of that break are they gonna call it on him he's already had four offensive pass interference calls made against him this year pass interference that's one area you don't want to lead the league in but he does that's five offensive passionate affair schools on gun Kowski watch him go down the field now and dip that left shoulder in a little arm extension that is as close on that call as you can get and that's what Brady's saying he's saying he did not push off he had his armpit which typically if you're on the edge of the guy you get the benefit of the doubt but that is one that honestly could go either way that was that was as close to the borders you could get on now like so many third and 15 from the 15-yard line there's a 60 yards that he'll you need to pay to leave and bold and back there with him fourth and 15 and Denver figures to get the ball back in fairly decent field position great protection but Brady is going to take a shot at the tail end of this because he took so much time to throw it watch Jack Barrett come in and just go after him a little high I guess no shot to the head considered there but here we go this is going to be a great finish [Applause] eight-second tonight does Sanders who originally was going to let us go into manual Sanders we stopped at the 36 yard line for 36 remaining in the fourth they just play the game so far pass interference not pass interference he's on one edge and a little extension you can see what the official saw you get the arm out usually if you keep it in tight and you sort of give it the flipper what do you call that you know you're just little forearm out there you get away with it just a little too much extension by Gronk there and shiver for something wrestling so here comes Brock Osweiler trying to make it two for two [Applause] and second down the Tenon's branching Mayo hit the heat on second down I think it's that that same blitz that's giving them fits get a little pressure here but it's that that from depth blitz it comes a little bit late and by that point the center paradis has committed and they just keeps getting these free runners at Brock Osweiler the reason at all for Patricia to change that now Ronnie Hillman is the back taking a while to get this play going dancing not a 30 seconds know where you wanted to have to take one that's their second so one left second down in 10 isn't it interesting though that here's Brock Osweiler a guy that went to the Pro Bowl and what 2005 he goes over and he actually bought a Peyton Manning jersey when he was over there and then much later when Brock Osweiler was a part of this team and paid Manning made the Pro Bowl for the hundredth time in a row invited him to come over very magnanimous gesture right vitam over young kids show what it's all about gets over there and he stuck him with the tab for the entire coaching stick there at the pro point you went to checkout and the whole thing was left on him the second round pick he had enough to cover it right second and 10 CJ Anderson liking this one listen again Waller [Applause] Marius Thomas yes sir logan Ryan well I know in the snow it's tough but you have to come back to the football here he pricks in and Logan Ryan two or three times now in the snow has kept driving on the ball and been able to get there we get a win by the New England Patriots I have a feeling who might get a game ball tonight that is ten times they've flown to Demaryius Thomas tonight without a catch I don't think they keep records through that but I can't ever remember anybody going off for ten [Applause] and Osweiler gets up he went to the ground took a vicious hit but comes back to the sidelines but it's fourth down now tavon wilson made it look like he's in man coverage instead it was man coverage on his hands and put it right into the breadbasket oh my goodness what a shot [Applause] those body blows they talk about in boxing sanded nobody's back for New England so it's just gonna let it go wind up booting it to the 25-yard line that square Grady will take over a little bit of the reef at final false tonight there are Brady's numbers three touchdown passes boss Wyler his numbers right there Boldin with a big play on a third indeed to make it a 21-7 game but back came the Broncos thanks to a botched punt they made it pay off with Anderson going into the end zone this guy Tom Brady has been around this so much I think it's 60% of the time [Applause] for years in the AFC Championship game think about that that's amazing and as he said he finding his it all together for the 25 yard line start to use similar childcare this is where those two timeouts that Denver had to use could come back to haunt them these Brady really good at working the clock down and Denver can stop it only once plus the two-minute warning this is one of those plays that you draw it on the chalkboard they don't use chalkboards anymore but you draw it on whatever you draw it on you say I don't have to block Bob Miller don't have to block that guy well when it's Bob Miller you do have to block that guy second and nine caste and that's a first down tackle their by daring Stewart and that's going to eat up some more the clock well you know by formation when you have a safety flanked out on your tight end its man coverage and Tom Brady can decipher those things as well as anybody so by formation he knows is it man or is it sewn and when it's man they're gonna throw it to Gronkowski that's exactly how they started the game minutes [Applause] infantry Gronkowski and he is hurt so Gronkowski gets hit [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so Gronkowski rolling around injury timeout well that's right the last thing the Patriots would want to see because you're gonna get a cart that's gonna come out right now as Gronkowski was writhing in pain had to reach back for it got hit let's see if we can see what happened yeah this right knee sort of gets whipped when he's hit by Darian Stewart it wasn't even on the ground but you'll see the whip effect here as these shoulder pads come in watch it just sort of whip my goodness what a great great player this guy is one of two unanimous all pros last year along with JJ Watt and Tom Brady can't believe it you know he watched Julian Edelman go down a couple of weeks ago Amendola hurt tonight but they could be back next week and Bronk it's a nice solution from the crowd here well we all know about what he does is a receiver what makes him the greatest tight end is what he does as a blocker and look at all the defensive guys from the Broncos coming over to give him a little smack well well-respected in this league he has been beaten up physically because you have to beat him up that's the only way you can play him he's just so physically dominant on the field the grant through the years this toughest they come but he's taking a lot of shots January 12 played the Super Bowl this by the high ankle sprain this five games in 12 miss the AFC Championship game at 13 offseason forearm back surgery ACL tear in 13 as well so now you gotta SOT they Cleveland who was activated for the game tonight who takes his spot and baby throws in that pass intended for Scott Chandler is incomplete so it's third down and ten a little turn about Fairplay here Brandon Marshall going to come on to blitz here and then we get the late movement around the outside of this one so you force them over to von Miller's side and then Brady's going to take the ship [Music] [Applause] Fleming who's been in and out as an eligible receiver tonight you just don't have the weapons for Tom Brady that he's used to have guys the top four guy is that he would look for in this situation no longer in the game third and ten that's short of the first man there goes the spell till these are number one wideout right now Chandler becomes the number one Thai Thinh but its fourth down fourth down and well here's some of the speed that they drafted shot Shane ray number one in the first round down the line of scrimmage to save that first down meanwhile Denver took a timeout hesitating for a second there because Denver Denver took a timeout so that is their final timeout they can stop the clock or the clock will stop at the two-minute warning and that's it of course you need to touch down in this situation down by hunters have been busy tonight this will be Alan's ninth punt of the game it's the 17th overall boy the Patriots just grinding ride that I don't win against the Giants grinded against Buffalo will they grind this one out tonight footed putter [Applause] Sanders is back there [Applause] skid out of bounds at around the 16 yard line and let's check in with Michelle well Alan didn't take the Patriots long to declare a Gronk out for the night Gronkowski back in the x-ray room and as he got out of that little cart to go into the x-ray room could really barely put any weight on that right side so it looks like they were looking at the right MCL on that right knee but in the x-ray room and officially out hey thank you Michelle so who knows how long Amendola may be back next week gentlemen surgery back in post season in all likelihood the first things first as the Patriots trying to extend the unbeaten streak to 11 from the 17-yard line finally the merriest Thomas makes a cash 11 times he's targeted it's his first graph couldn't have come at a better time for him well this is what you can do if you have a big receiver sometimes you just give them a chance throw it up in the air and that is what we've seen so many times over the years from Demaryius Thomas and it could not have come at a better time two-minute warning gain of 36 it'll be a first down at the 47 mystic finitary so that I football Volkswagen postgame report Michelle as low as on the field with the stars of the game Bob Tony and Mike looked at this one and Michael have some sure information about what's going on around the rest of the league Chris Nilan have a look ahead to next week's game in the burg between the Steelers and at the Colts two minutes to play no timeouts for Denver at the 47 yard line [Applause] Thomas had to go to his knees and could not make the catch to the ground he went second down in ten Bazaar watching Demaryius Thomas has a low throw I understand that and he didn't want to go to a knee cuz he wanted to try and run with that ball he just gets down underneath him it was a good call almost tipped it right to an interception though didn't he yeah Chung was coming in couldn't hang on second down and ten [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Sanders a knife at him burglar first and go gain of 39 last mana can actually afford to take take his time right he brought him down in the hurry it's gonna call timeout son Noori one where sucker so they have one left 90 seconds to play there we go all right on the outside against the best you've got Emmanuel Sanders working against Malcolm Butler and just runs right by him for the huge play but the reason to safety didn't get their watch Osweiler look right made the safety to look just for a moment and take a half a step that way get them out of the play and football doesn't get any simpler than man-to-man coverage you go deep on the right and then you go deep on the left and here they are down inside the ten ball spotted at the 8 yard line but out this is where it gets really tough on young reporter backs when you don't have experience red zone offense is the most complicated part of the game especially against bat patrician Bill Belichick they empty the backfield that's Anderson splitting wide to the right is going to take it himself around the left side go out-of-bounds don't need to do that Jerrod Mayo stops him there you don't only Brady and he found on the other side of the clock second down and goal let's say it was a great play by Mayo though it looked for a moment like Evan Mathis might be able to get out in front of him but he just couldn't get there probably because the ankle and the hamstring watch him come out here there's Mayo right in there [Applause] locked up if he had thrown at it might have been able to cut him it really wasn't anybody else there second down and goal from the seven yard line he's going to get sent allen branch back at the 19-yard line third down and goal and a flag on a play crowd anticipating it's going to be on the defense cannot believe what Allen branches did he just ran over Matt Paradis for a huge play [Applause] [Music] Patrick Charlie let's take a look what do you think it wipes out a big sag it would have been third and goal from the 19 yard line [Applause] stops the clock which is that big left hand is what they saw on the shoulder pad we've had a few of those tight ones today all day that's through the years first and goal from the three 83 yards it took in a minute and 22 so many times the backup quarterback spends more time with the backup receivers than he does with the first string receivers you know he's thrown a bunch of these balls Andre Caldwell in practice and Logan Ryan despite one of the great games gives it and who woulda thunk it now Brock ice-water taking them 80 yards Plus down the field to take the lead against Tom Brady Demaryius Thomas makes his first catch of the night sanders makes another big cash he said a great night Emmanuel has a the nice Weiler for the touchdown to Cole whoa so brainy will have 69 seconds and one timeout and a field goal of course would tie the game Osweiler knows exactly what he has exactly what he wants they bring that same middle linebacker blitz and then the reaction was exactly what it's been like around this young man everything he's done Brock Osweiler we saw him in practice and the defensive guys just love jabbing him then they have a lot of laughs and he's a funny guy we spent time with him in the meeting you can see why they all love him and boy oh boy has he delivered now and back-to-back games he's been the understudy for three and a half years and not playing Broadway you know what Gregg Knapp told me he said I'll bet John Elway saw a little of himself in this guy obviously not the arm strength Adele we had with the mobility playing in a run first offense I could see why you would think that he might be a fit down the road bumped up running up and down the sideline banister sends it through the end zone so Brady has 69 seconds one time out and one of the best field goal kickers ever and Stephen Gustav ski we're gonna be talking about a holding call in the back of the end zone they completely changed that drive that was not one of those bold into the game obvious holding calls was there a little there was a little but the Patriots have had a couple of those that Gronkowski pass interference have been that one turned to third and goal from the 19 into a first and goal from inside the five so now no Gronkowski the senior so Chandler now the number one tight end at this moment it's a gain of 23 they get 22 Li spot the ball at the 42 yard line brainy hustles under the line of scrimmage first down at the 42 four main one this goes to the way [Applause] quarterback's outside the pocket through the ball beyond the line of scrimmage there you go Tony curriculum right on top of it second down to ten little bit of the spin move here to make Tom Brady's come off the mark here Tom Brady gets flushed out of the pocket and chooses just to throw it away second and 10 with 40 seconds four-man rush good pocket he gets spilled by two leagues short of the first down clock still running [Applause] he's taken here an injured player Oh an injured rule this will cost an excess timeout that's Malik Jackson was the injured player [Applause] it had been New England you in at a runoff yeah time out and it's get one extra it's one of those weird say it's an excess time out which essentially means you get a fourth in this situation I think if you end up with another injured player then something else kicks in a five-yard penalty something like dancers the rulebook is like the IRS code right now who knows they're so New England still has its timeout starts to run and Brady throws and that's incomplete with a flag tended for Harper covered there by gluten and balance if you say wait a minute what least defense number 25 five yard penalty first now I think we have another clock issue here what else is new at the end of a game because there was an injured player there's the plague under the game clock was starting when Chris goes before the activist snap and I think what Belichick is saying as you gave them that Bonus Time and then you wound the clock we were waiting we thought it was a dead ball because of the timeout and all that exactly right ten seconds left in regulation they still have a timeout when you got to get in field goal range they're not there yet and it's sliding bounces LaFell so that with four seconds we'll set up an opportunity to tie the game Wow maybe it just doesn't matter maybe it's just these two teams and they get together holy cow it again this is going to be a 47-yard attempt on a bright sunny day at altitude this is almost the chip shot with the stache be anything but tonight long a 57 yards well within his range right but on the snow in a slippery surface to send us into overtime [Applause] does man oh man this weaker so despite the clock running off several seconds they were able to make that the pass Brady Tula felt huge you know and the great thing about that let's give them credit is they feel they caught bad breaks on some penalties caught bad breaks on that clock management and instead of hanging your head and be defeated Brady hits the big pass and they go to overtime they've been doing it for how many years now it doesn't matter what happened you know and I know everybody has their own version of what the Patriots are I don't care what you say what they have done over the past decade plus has been incredible catchers will play one 15-minute overtime period we'll play as if it is the fourth quarter with timing rules all replay reviews will come from upstairs and each team will be allowed to timeouts as visitors you had the opportunity to call its number 18 calls heads it is heads if they want the football so it comes down to this if New England gets a touchdown the game is over anything less nice fire and the blockage we get the football and at least [Music] on Sunday night reviewing overtime again a touchdown wins the game for New England anything else Denver will get the ball teams are tied after one possession each next score wins the game game cannon she's just to clean up one thing we heard from the league in terms of the they ran the clock the right way as it turned out I think what happened was at the end of regulation Brady thought when he heard excess time out there was no sense of urgency when he went to the line so this when the clock started to go Belichick was apoplectic along the sidelines but they actually got that right well they get it right but from a player's standpoint Tom Brady you hear time no excess time out unless it was explained to him [Applause] they start with white and golden in the in complete look to lead covers on the play second down attack [Applause] and now tom brady's looking for a few penalties to go his way he's saying we've seen enough go against us in here and we'd like to have one in our favor but there really isn't and now we're back to that whole discussion the elite quickness that would be so big in a situation like that how many times we see Brady just those little in-and-out watch you know to Edelman [Applause] and now that he doesn't really have those guys on the field that have that kind of quickness second down and ten [Applause] he's gonna get sacked at the 13 Miller took until overtime to get their seven yard sack third and 17 near Brady's going to try and step up but just as he does that door closes and now he has to back up into Von Miller who has begun to take over this game third and 17 from the 13 yard line have to get to the 30 gravy must've dumped it off seen ray got their rookie at a Missouri their first-round pick and his fourth down so Denver's going to get the ball and a field goal could win the game I mean what an unbelievable play by Brady to get that thing out he was turned to his left and had to spin all the way around and somehow found a receiver close enough for that not to be called intentional grounding Brian Allen Sanders is back there [Applause] slides to a stop at the 42-yard line if it's the punt of 59 yards a run back of 13 take a look at Brock's numbers on the night to 63 through the air with a touchdown and one pick we told the story at the end of the Chicago game he couldn't remember what the victory formation was he was taken he couldn't remember what victory formation was and he's stuttering in the huddle and all saying look around he said and taking me on what he said the whole huddle burst out a burner but it was good enough so Brock's dad goes to every one of his game outside for a gain of two second and eight and I know we're talking about an undefeated team here in the New England Patriots but the undefeated team that started the season and the team that's on the field right now are two entirely different teams I mean Jamie Collins and Donte Hightower the two guys that this defense was really built around and no more [Applause] when the receiver situation is a complete mess right now yards shy of the first down at the 48 on dnews bucks that one out of the air it'll be third down and one watch CJ Anderson we've seen him with brilliant runs watch him step around and pick up Mayo on this one right underneath the chin strap just buckles his head straight back that'll slow down that blitz [Applause] third and one [Applause] - one more time first a 30-second timeout at one point during the game a 14-point lead for New England then Harper couldn't handle the punt led to a Denver recovery and a touchdown and the holding call on Shawn which negated would have would have been a sack and made a third and goal from the 19 yard line this is not for down territory right Chris I mean I'm he can't he can't take a chance to do doing the ball at midfield this is a key play on third down here CJ Anderson is the running back go back to the snake that they went to early in the game [Applause] the same exact play they scored the earlier touchdown so only the Carolina Panthers are undefeated and who woulda guessed that at the beginning of the year ten and one Osweiler the sun.star 30:24 exact play that they've scored going the other direction and the Patriots and Fernand Davis with the block just as he did on the first one and only appropriate that see J Anderson brings home the bacon for Brock Osweiler go figure al michaels we have seen it all that's crime cut bacon he understand that gives him 113 yards on the night ice wanna threw for 270 dad loving every moment and he gets to live it again next week when Denver goes to San Diego what a game a 14-point deficit in the snow overcome radius 1 or 1 I asked him if he had thought any at all about Brady Osweiler one he said two times on Wednesday when the press brought it up and today when you brought it up it's another than that I just have to think about one bit of time out there what a party this is going to be Broncos good in line a two Volkswagen postgame report is next well Paul came in the snow indent for the Broncos 30 at the Patriots 24 in OT 2 game balls although I guess we could have given out any number of them a star is born perhaps tonight because Brock Osweiler will get one of those game balls 23 of 42 for 270 yards a touchdown and a pick and CJ Anderson had two touchdowns including the game-winner he rushed for 113 caught four passes for 40 more and Brock Osweiler and CJ Anderson now speak with Michele Tafoya Bob Thank You Brock you're two for two and you and this offense just beat an undefeated defending Super Bowl champion what does this win mean you know I'm not to know this teams to know in the past two weeks and I think that's that's the biggest thing this team fights together we'll go anywhere we'll play anybody and you know this is a special team win on that drive just before overtime let's get to that one first because Emanuel Sanders came up big what was the connection like between you two tonight both the manual and et both came up with huge catches on that drive you know we were just on go balls first cover one that was something that we worked on a lot this week and we said we were gonna hit him and we hit him at the right time you're at one point down 21 to 7 you end up in overtime what are you thinking when you finally realize we're getting the ball back Braden wasn't able to do anything we got a chance to score well you know coach the nap or quarterbacks coaching myself we talked last night we said no matter what happens it's going to be a 60-minute game you know it was true tonight we just kept fighting it was more than 60 quick before I turned to CJ Anderson a word from you what did you think of the way he played tonight CJ played he's played incredible and you know what CJ saw the holes Ron he saw the holes but a huge credit has to go to the offensive line because without those guys we're not doing any of this tonight and they were banged up thanks so much thank you congratulations let's turn to CJ boy the smile on your face really says it all CJ just take me through that final score there in overtime what did you see ahead of you you know they just made a cut you know Ryan just made it happen and uh just really really to be honest I don't know what happened up and I just took off for inning three but now we all kind of know I was cutting up all down was kind of being powerful and being physical and we thought I can get to the edge one time and that happened it happen a lot for you today you were able to move laterally and make cuts in these conditions that were difficult for all of us to explain how do you explain it that's just something we work on you know just having our weight over our foot and make sure that we are we get our cleats in the ground and I got the right shoes on you gotta Givet are putting the guys then you gotta give it to the big boys up front and they just play call I mean everything's just focus well today and we got a long way to go but this is going a long way to go and this is a good one I mean this was an undefeated Patriots team that came in here and you guys with Brock Osweiler what does this one mean Oh means a lot you know you know Brock come in he's playing away he's playing just not the team you know we're just trying to say we have this back you know and hopefully that clicks around will Peyton come back we'll have his back and we should try to make their job easier congratulations thank you hi mom love you top all right Michelle Michelle's guess Brock Osweiler's CJ Anderson Brock is six eight CJ is five eight they both stood tall tonight
