2016 Rams @ Saints

I tell you what there's not enough superlatives when you're talking about Drew Brees I think he is the best distributor of the football that I've ever seen but today Mark Ingram is playing and I think he's going to be the key to this office today and gets this really talented Rams defense that gets that has two players up front Eric Donald is unbelievable and Alan Ogletree on the second level this defense has to make some plays against this potent office and the RAM offense again the second start first Road start for the number one overall draft pick 22 year-old Jared Goff he raided his opening day performance at home it's okay but not enough to win we did that game and I think we all agree that there were some mixed reviews about what Jared Goff presented in his first start for this offense has to get more creative give him more chances to showcase that arm they've been promised it to us so hopefully it comes to fruition today and Derrick golf second start as a pro when Jared Goff was in the first grade Drew Brees was just beginning his NFL career now they take the field together the kickoffs right ahead we strike first we strike first [Music] hitter Greg Williams first time back to New Orleans helped the Saints and Sean Payton to a Super Bowl title but in a cloud of controversy his contract not renewed vanished temporarily by the league also run a 2012 season long suspension for Payton lingering feelings raw emotions kick off ahead [Music] ready to kick off week 12 here in New Orleans and Jeff Fischer in his fifth season with the Rams 500 his coaching career against the Saints to an O is the Rams coach against Sean Payton and Sean Payton his team member they started o and three staging to come back in week four then won four of five and struggled through the last couple of games losing by a total of five points Saints won the toss deferred and so kicking off and taking it through the end zone Benny Cunningham watching the booth of rookie will Lutz and so we will see Jared Goff first time he said first time he's ever played in a regular season game indoors in a Superdome the junior from Cal and a change on the offensive line Greg Robinson the number two overall draft pick in 2014 is inactive today Rogers sample to tackle their Jomon Brown up to the guard spot it needed to make some changes Jeff Fisher the head coach promised us changes and this is where we see at first mock Brown who's played on this offensive line at satphone has experienced a left tackle but definitely keep an eye on those two guys on the left side of that offensive line today Todd Gurley still searching for his first 100-yard game this season in the back to you and on first down got to throw and flip sticker Lee who has plenty of girl in prospect field inside the 45 of the Saints Jairus Byrd brought him down well the Saints decide to press Sheila brookie on the very very first play and just get scat protection by the running back he's not staying in the block he's making himself available and nobody picks him up I think it's Danelle lob Ellerby who was supposed to run with him get a lot of space for this printer picks up some huge yards on the first play of the game 31 yards and in his second game that's the lengthiest pass play the Goff is completed girly straight-ahead runs into a wall and as shown backwards that st. defense been playing much better in the last few weeks there's Nick Fairley the former ramen Lyon before that leaves the team with four and a half sacks Craig Robertson continues to lead the team in tackles and Delvin Breaux is back after sitting out the last game resting that leg a big part of their resurgence I think on defense has been Nick Fairley somebody lit a fire under him because at times I I saw him taking plays off I have not seen it the past couple of weeks he's a major reason this defense is playing so well and that was a no Gator just inside the 45 of New Orleans gone from a pocket floats one made the Kenny rip who is the Rams leading receiver when Kenny Britt has to get involved and get involved early with his young quarterback and it looks like there's gonna be a matchup with Delvin Breaux and Kenny Britt all day long and he falls down on this route but give the quarterback credit the rookie credit he saw the matchup that he wanted pulled the trigger and made a great throw down to the 27 so he's 2 out of 2 already nearing the 50 yard passing mark and the Rams in field goal range on this opening possession [Applause] not with Britt's 50th catch of the season yes maybe now the 24-yard line girlie averaging only 3.2 yards a carry some of those problems with todd gurley in the running game are his for sure but the offensive line has to give him some space had this guy last week and we saw what happens when he gets a crease run he could take it to the house but when the offensive line gets bounced in the backfield Todd Gurley just doesn't have the quickness to make people miss in space and look at a chance to see that today on second down seven from the 24 16:4 at age 22 got firing and his first incompletion of the day in the area of Kenny Britt RAM offense it's been a struggle in the last four games that's what they've put up when you think about how shaky this office has been through the year it's amazing they've won four games and they want one of those games they've won that nine point game against the Jets defense has done its job you give a defense hold have a defensive holds teams under 17 points you soon win the football game but these guys get down here near the red zone and they kind of self-destruct you get a third long here though partner needs seven yards to get to the 17 [Applause] the running back for Tavon Austin at the end zone and Jared Goff your first NFL touchdown well I think we're seeing what they promised and they got man-to-man coverage pw web on Tavon Austin and Tavon Austin is a guy that I think needs to get more involved in this offense and they give it to him right now right in your slot right here is Tavon Austin he's just gonna run this little corner out the help is inside BW Webb kind of plays it wrong with that safety in the middle gives them all that space to the sideline and a really excellent throw by Jared Goff [Music] well the touchdown is good and an impressive opening drive by Jared Goff but the penalty and that's what cost the Rams last week and a loss at home to Miami late in the game Kenny Britt called for excessive celebration in the endzone afterwards and that'll be assessed on the kickoff and that will give drew Brees likely great field position so even the Rams do something right this year it seems like they they make foolish mistakes but what an impressive opening drive from Jared Goff and Tavon Austin on the receiving end Greg Suhr line for the extra point right down the middle and a 7 a nothing Lee that's the first career touchdown pass for Jared Goff Drew Brees is looking for 455 of his career Jared Goff NFL moments and Drew Brees has had a lot of them we opened the broadcast talking about how at age 37 fact reisel turned 38 in a couple of months now he has continue to put pile up and a fill passing records Rams Greg Suhr line kicking off from the 20 after that penalty which we're gonna knock down around the 25 yard line they called the celebration penalty not on Austin but watch Kenny Britt come in and do a quick photo here I don't know that that's what you would consider excessive Wow alright NFL well nice breezes turn from the 25-yard line and the numbers he keeps adding leads the NFL with 3277 passing yards at 26 touchdown passes you mentioned marking Rebecca the line up reach to throw and complete rocket was collapsing around him he was trying to get the ball to Tommy Lee Lewis the Rams they have three first-round draft choices on that line Robert Quinn former LSU star Michael rockers and of course Aaron Donald well they got a lot of talent on this defense not only up front with those freshmen but also on the second level of this defense get a chance to highlight LaMarcus Joyner and Mark Baron and allocating free play basically time in the middle all day long Greece has a first down the completion of across the 37 to Michael Thomas the rookie receiver who leads all rookies in receiving yards in the NFL Michael Thomas says to come to go to receiver on this offense and he's got a lot of great numbers that his rookie year are already great hands catcher great product for his quarterback Jeff Fisher the defensive minded coach that we know we're not going to be in a 1317 with Drew Brees we're gonna have to score some points they scored first the Saints responding he fights to a tackle that gets into RAM territory down to the 45 of the Rams outstanding run and one of the things you're gonna see today run is gonna come right through that gap right there but one of the things you're gonna see today is the Saints bury up their offensive personnel because the Los Angeles Rams are down players in the second level they don't have a Sam linebacker Josh pores got hurt last week so you're going to see some of their smaller bodies in here I think they believe they could take advantage of that smaller group on defense 18 yard run from Ingram Hightower in early catches his breath ix our throw down for a loss at midfield Erin Donald having another Pro Bowl season well it didn't take long long for him to impact the game and he leads the league and stuffs Erin Donald right there watch how quickly he beats the guard he's in the backfield that tight end doesn't have a chance to get him and tackle for loss really struggles sometimes trying to find a way to describe Erin Donald he does so many things so well he's only 6 1 about 280 pounds but he is this disruptive as anybody in the game 750 don't short the 47-yard line is John it'll bring a third down Saints need to get down to the 35 yard line of the Rams to get a first down here you go third down best third down football team in the NFL the New Orleans Saints 51% or so and this Rams defense does a good a job as anybody getting off the field on third down so great matchup here watch Willie Sneed his match up in a slot he's been there third down specialist all year long ready 90 on 3rd and 12 blitz coming it's picked up freeze and almost intercepted trying to go to Lille sneech remain Johnson on the coverage at it's 4th down you know correct William's defense is gonna bring pressure from time to time and they brought 7 guys only four guys back there in coverage and Drew Brees makes a good throw but not able to connect they get off the field on third down Tavon Austin back to receive Rams have not had a punt return for a touchdown this year he has had three in his career and more said one of the best Bearcats call for and wraps it around the 7/8 yard line here come the Rams on offense led by the top pick in the draft you just threw for his first NFL touchdown you today's game is sponsored by Bud Light make the right call drink responsibly a story on the sidelines of this game we talked about it prior to the kick bubbling beneath the surface let's head down to the field and Jennifer Hale well Chris's Greg Williams took the field this morning he told me this is just another return to a place I used to work but really it's anything but behind closed doors emotions are raw and threatening to surface Saints coaches wouldn't even use Greg Williams as two players this week but they tell me they know what's at stake here and they feel like there is a score to settle today here since that incident in 2012 Jay Glazer on the pregame show said that Sean Payton and Greg Williams have not spoken here Jared Goff making some noise first road start second series already a seven nothing lead he was three out of four on the opening drive including the touchdown from his own going girl be knocked down right away Jairus Byrd making the play that scoring drive covered 75 yards in almost three minutes and it was Goff who came out firing the Saints deferred he flipped a girl amends a Brit and Tavon Austin the end zone for a touchdown fast furious Rada usually the Saints at home with their offense when they win the toss don't they want the ball I think they put the rookie in a tough spot I think they wanted to put him out there and see how he handled see what his mettle was like here in the in the dome under net all this stress but he handled it well he looked like a full quarterback right there it got to be encouraged by it the way he started this football game and the way they called the first couple of plays for him second and 12 gosh three completions were 15 yards or more last week prescient three on the first drive last week it was rare to see him throwing down field and that seemed like the coaching staff the offensive approach last week in that narrow loss to Miami they played it a little conservative well they kept talking about how well perform in the week and we talked to Jared Goff earlier this this week as well he said he's starting to feel like he's already taking ownership this week his quarterback coach is high on him he actually told us don't be hard on the kid I was like don't worry just put some put some good film out there and he started really fast today third and nine there is a moment for him to unload it Tedric sleeping forward toward the first down let's check the spot there's a flag down as well little block in the back offense number 11 go go down but one thing I'm already seeing that rookie Jared golf is doing better is surveying the field his eyes are to the left watch him come all the way back to his third green and let this ball go something he did not show it show me at all last week this week we've seen some progress but now they're backed up third long with that block in the back penalties have killed this football team we got a third long here spotted at the six yard line six defensive backs in for the Saints on deep tavon on so the penalty called on after that gainer to Kendrick [Music] number first time playing in a duel in a regular-season game the weather conditions nights compared to the rain in Southern Cal but the noise the Mazzone enzone fires and over the coverage was good on Kendricks and it's fourth down he had an important run last week that got him a key first down but that was called back because of the penalty yeah that's that's one thing and it was actually it was the same block in the back type of penalty two-part effect Tommy Lee Lewis the undersized receiver from Northern Illinois who's come up big for the Saints averaging 14 yards of return on a punt so far this year Johnny hacker from his own endzone after the stingy esteem in terms of punt return yards in the league this year fair catch call for at the 49 of the Saints here comes through threes his second possession trailing at home in the doll to the rookie today's game on Fox is sponsored by Taco Bell's new Steakhouse burrito and Steakhouse nachos by Microsoft Surface the official tablet of the NFL and by Kay Jewelers for 100 years every kiss begins with Kay [Music] Ronde Barber and I wishing you a festive holiday weekend filled with NFL hey that Viking gloss and loss on Thursday on Thanksgiving helping the chances for the Saints or ants whoever wins this game to gain some ground in the NFC wild card playoff picture with just six regular-season games to go five after this one Hightower you're a first down most of the 41 other rounds the blocking on the edge of the offense here and really nice cut by Tim Hightower to find that that gap on the outside this offense they get their running game going when they show some balance and they win football games Tim Hightower marking or both have been effective this year on the ground and as I said the open I think it has to be a focus against this tough Los Angeles defense he's averaging over four yards to carry and good enough for the first down here inside the 40 of the ramps he took over primary running duties early in week eight and that win over Seattle after the Mark Ingram fumbles and rushed for over a hundred yards in that game his sixth 100-yard game second as a member of the Saints with an Ingram came back like a house of fire against the 49ers and re-established himself as a starter purse paddling that concussion protocol cleared for today's kill kill kill Mike fought to lady was that the first time freeze fires in the middle for to Lili Smith the go-to guy mr. reliable Sean Payton breeze can't say enough about where he is and how he gets open Willie Sneed has really come into his own right there in your screen and what I love about Drew Brees is he'll go through the motions but when he sees an open receiver the ball is out of his hands so quickly and the thing that I love about Willie Snead is he is making himself available to his quarterback and he is always always all around the football created from Ball State know where Aaron second on the team in tackles coming up to make the play and one of the things that Mark Baron did a lot he's right here on the end of the line of scrimmage his blitz for this defense last year now he's in a starting role basically is a will linebacker they call it weak safety but when he penetrates the backfield he's really athletic has a great bid and he hits people with authority now they go down actually a loss of two Baron a former first-round draft pick of top ten pick of the sample say Buccaneers from Alabama third and seventh extra pressure coming breathe it's the first down Willie Sneed to the 20 in the red well I promise you Willie Sneed on third down you're gonna see a lot of Willie Sneed on third down and this offense they love to reduce you bring the deformation in Willie's needs right here and he's just gonna run a little over out Tremaine Johnson their best cover corner just can't keep up with them and again his quarterback finds his first read and makes a perfect delivery a gain of 16 we were here for Snead in the opener against the Raiders he had a 9 catches for a career-high 172 yards hey Mike 2/6 lectureship [Applause] inside the town it's Coby Fleener fishing first engulf Saints first if you played zone coverage against Drew Brees he's just gonna dice you up it's he loves to see it I think you have to stay closer to your wrist his receivers or he just finds amazing he's so good going through the progressions books one way comes back to the other and like I said a few minutes ago the ball is out of his hand so fast he almost makes it look easy amen a staggering 71% completion percentage the season of moving for as much as he throws amazing [Music] [Applause] Willie Smith was the target but TJ McDonald made sure that didn't happen well sure breeze does something very interesting here right it's just going to go right through the air of a good play by McDonnell drew brees comes with a line of scrimmage moves our running back behind him makes you think that they're gonna run a run play and what's he do he picks up and tries to throw that ball in there to Willie's knee but good play by TJ McDonald the fans in here are booing but that was a great defensive play mark want to get down to the three yard line it'll be third and goal this Saints offense is not the most efficient they're the second most efficient they have the most touchdowns in the red zone this season 28 touchdowns you get in here you almost expect them to score big challenge for Gregg Williams defense to try to hold on the field goals and that's one thing that Coach Fisher said a field goal attempt against the tank but against the New Orleans Saints is a win touchdown Brandon Coleman [Applause] while a couple of things happen here you get the ghost motion by Brandon cooks and you see shermaine Johnson's eyes kids diverted because of all that was going on in the back foot actually I don't think it was his fault I think he was expecting safety help there but they get confused they follow the wrong guy and Brandon Coleman is wide open for an easy touchdown his third touchdown catch of the season as well X is on to try the extra point remember the Saints have added a special teams coach they now have three in that area after some problems with kicks that have cost them in games but no problem on this extra point drew brees 455 career touchdown passes and that's worth a smile from the combo that has been together for a while here tip on Austin who had the touchdown catch landed on the ball and moments ago Jen reporting on the sideline he had a heating pad around but appears to be good to go yeah I think the good news is he has a heating pad on if he has ice on there usually means you're not coming back in but he looks good to go on the sideline now [Applause] Benny Cunningham on the bouncing kick from once and gets up across the 25 to the 26 yard line Jared Goff takes the field third time today running the offense Friday night pac-12 championship Washington taking on Colorado Colorado a big win last night and Saturday night on Fox the Big Ten championship Wisconsin against Penn State to the biggest championship games in college football and you'll see them Friday and Saturday evening on Fox Grambling a big winter here in the dome last night the Bayou Classic great games college football last night yesterday a Michigan Ohio State game with Penn State interesting position should be fun a penalty five yarder on the Saints on the kickoff added to the RAM return so that's why the ball spotted up to the 31 Todd Gurley the pitch with some room to run early it's up near the 40-yard line he got the offense going with a big pass catch from Jared Goff on the opening position let's take a look at Rogers app while playing left tackle right here it's gonna pull out on this this run plate get out in front make a key block here on Robertson right there just springg top Gurley for that little extra bit of yardage again I'm gonna keep an eye on those two guys all day playing new positions for this offense table that has come back into the gang for a nine yard pickup by girl and he got it to the 43 lorentz todd gurley topped 100 rushing yards in his first four starts of his career but that was as a rookie so we done it once in the last 18 games his best this season 85 yards on the ground that was in week 3 against the Buccaneers it's just amazing that a guy that has that kind of speed and athleticism just can't get going this year and again the problems are up front some of the problems are with him they got to get it right as poly can help this young quarterback [Applause] getting rid of it out-of-bounds on the sidelines it really never develops Tyler Higbee the rookie from Western Kentucky was covered and sho Goff is now five out of eight animali put some pressure on Goff who showed some athletic ability moving in and out of the pocket and even running a little bit last week well I think he sees he goes in the locker room after the game and his teammates are surprised that he could move that well but yeah that's one of the things they love about him his ability extend plays coach Fisher kept telling us and said he's is more mobile than he looks and he shown it a couple of times already in his first two weeks as has started now up to 220 he came in about 205 when he was drafted adding some bulk quick pass just completes a Austin who Sussex and Taylor brought down around the 48 of New Orleans just a bit short of the first down that quick release got it to Austin in a hurry not only a quick release Chris quick decision see the open guy throw to open guy football 101 right and then put it in your playmakers hand Tavon Austin he's gonna make two or three guys miss pick up some valuable yardage to make this a third and much more manageable situation on third and to flag prior to the snap false start offense number 18 we're down well you would think the rookie quarterback would be the one dealing with the noise in here not the veteran wide receiver Kenny Britt Delvin Breaux is quick to point it out oh it's hard when you're the end guy on the line of scrimmage farthest away from the ball just kind of key that the center's snap and he did do a good job of it there so instead of third and two now it's third and seven you think they might bring pressure on God here comes extra pressure cuff on the move and incompleted listen and that'll bring an end to the opening quarter good start for Gotham the ramps but breeze and the Saints have responded we're tied at one night at 7:00 after 1:00 on Fox resembling maybe a young Ryan Gosling the actor but far from Hollywood as the mannerisms of Jared Goff the Rams the Saints actually have their defense out on the field as Hecker is plumbing they thought he might try and fake so Jairus Byrd with the fair catch at the 13 yard line where Drew Brees will take over Brees 60th straight home game with a touchdown pass extending his NFL record well I don't think anyone is surprised by that Chris those yardage numbers are good for some players entire season but he's got six games left and I can only imagine these totals going up that's 71% completion percentage just blows my mind he is as good as anybody delivering the football and add to that that touchdown pass 215th in the Superdome most by any quarterback in one stadium in the history of the league that far at 2:14 at Lambeau Field it's a loose football after the sack and the rats have it you know one of the things that this Bram's defense does is create disruption and causes turnovers mark Baron came up with the loose football and it's Aaron Donald sneaking through there finding a way to get to the quarterback and I tell you what they were trying to set up a double move there and they just don't have enough time this kid is so good up front 99 opportunistic on defense pick up a turnover in the red zone helps your D helps your score if you see Aaron Donald right there just look what he does to Andrew speed he's slow you can't get lower than him because he's only six feet one he's explosive and he's strong he gets the quarterback for that sack for me Rams put three receivers to the right of Gulf top here screen Todd Gurley the back first turnover of the game god Kenny Britt touchdown rounds he fired it in a hurry they're not scared to let him show off his arm today and this is a great design play on the outside really nothing you can do if you're a Saints defender here these two guys are going to go out here Kenny Britt's just gonna run right underneath them and Delvin Breaux playing man-to-man coverage caught up in the wash no chance easy touchdown for Terry Gulf and Kenny Britt looking like his days at Cowell leaving after his junior year he threw 96 touchdown passes in three years at Cal he's got two in the NFL now on his second start and for Britton his fourth TD reception of the year sir lights extra point the ramps surprisingly on the road with the rookie take a 14-7 lead today's team on Fox is sponsored by Target expect more pay less by Geico 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance and by Amazon echo information music news and more just ask [Music] the other Big Easy its benefit easy for Jared Goff at just his second NFL start last week at home and of all places Southern California there was rain that had some impact on the way the Rams offense approached the game they had a 10 nothing lead before losing late to Miami some defensive penalties not necessarily a loss you could pin on Gough as he said I could have done more and I'll always think that way but so far a couple of touchdown tosses to save on Austin and Kenny Britt sir line ready to kick off [Music] Tommy Lee Louisville down it so to the 25 yard line with Ronde Barber Chris Myers nice to have you watching with us well Saints fans have seen this movie before remember Jameis Winston came down as a rookie last year on the road got his first win with the Buccaneers number one overall pick the RAM fans are wondering in one week get Jared Goff isn't that big a difference he's breathing a lot easier today isn't he than he was last weekend who knows if those conditions affected what we saw before Mason they're different that play makers are actually making plays for their young quarterbacks oh yeah this is a different Rams offense that we saw last week and it's gonna be up to New Orleans Saints drew Brees and this offense to match him we thought it was going to be a shootout the other way it looks like this rant this Saints offense is gonna have to match with this young quarterback is doing itself well it was the sack fumble to turn over that set the Rams up for that second score and now Mark Ingram carries for the Saints you know one of their challenges the New Orleans Saints and I know if you're a Saints fan you're sitting there saying they got to get back in this game right now go score points they get they have to stay patient on offense they know that this offense runs better when they do it helps their defense that was the storyline a big narrative earlier in the season Brie's on second down Willie Sneed and they're giving him credit for the first down and he got it well you're gonna see a blitz here and that puts your safety down and comforts on Willie Smith it's this is a matchup the Saints won all day as good as McDonald is as a safety he's not a great cover guy especially on a guy like Willie snoot who's having the type of season that he's having first down at the st. 36 yard line another productive run from the former Heisman Trophy winner great block on the edge there by John Phillips the safety there that tight end I'm sorry he'll come all the way over here and then turn around and get this block on the edge for Mark Ingram just a another way to run power football and look at that gap and I'm 41 years old I think I could get 15 and good run by play designed by the saints I'll pick up a 15-yard number Jim Fisher said we expect this change to come out and try to run it down the football tower right at midfield let's get a get a break check in say hi to charissa Thompson hi Chris San Francisco up Miami now the Dolphins beat the Rams last weekend here we go Ryan Tannehill de Jie with this 2 yard touchdown run all tied up at 7 thanks charissa the rookie head coach Adam GaSe the youngest of the league currently at age 38 doing a great job with the dolphins they're on a tear trying to go to seven and four and right on the fringe of that AFC playoff picture after a loss of one 52:52 ready all worried about 52 Alec oval tree breeze pressure gets rid of it middle of the field there's a flag down making the catch Coby Fleener hits at the 20 of the Rams [Applause] this flag is obviously in the area of holding on defense holding defense number 26 mark Baron called for the infraction Fleenor the Vic read watch the hit that Drew Brees takes hear from Michael brokers still able to get this ball accurately down the field and this is a fantastic catch by Coby Fleener good coverage by Marc Maron in the right spot but goes up over top of them in completion 3,100 gainer [Music] around the 15 through threes 8 of 11 so far 90 yards of the touchdown he did lose his third fumble of the season and that set up the go-ahead score for the Rams Jared Goff with a couple of touchdowns he's 7 and 11 91 yards three tight ends come in now for the Saints after they pick up for one second down six coming forward as Josh bill but back up to Fleener although those tietennis well their plants a man-to-man defense now but tight ends are finding ways to get open it's it's just a good throw ball came out quick good coverage by the safety there but Drew Brees is just as efficient as ever get the ball to the open guy and it just marching down the field this defense is talk about a deal but how good this defense plays they're gonna have to make some more plays on the football if they're gonna stop this offense extra lineman Tim will Alito in on third down and one come on the back Jim Jim Jim like fought to it's tough sledding in there now Alec Ogletree and I think Marc Barron's the one that makes this tackle here he's right here look at his plan man to man as soon as this guy flocks gets his head inside then I told you when he puts his body on you you stop markering is a powerful runner with nothing for nowhere to go after that hit and they're going on forced down on third and less than three in the Saints are incredibly outstanding on fourth down you see how good they are six out of seven this year the pitch to Agra he cuts back it's a sage touchdown [Applause] here everybody watching it go supposed to go the other way flip option back to Mark Ingram and he makes one guy miss he only had to make one guy miss and he did scurries in for the touchdown [Music] you'll see a great block right here on this scare right here it's got it redirect Alexander and then he just falls town marking I'm gonna run through arm tackles of Alec Ogletree and there's your quick answer to the turnover touchdown by the Rams 75-yard Drive just over five minutes extra point for the rookie will lunch is good Mark Ingram with his third rushing touchdown and we are tied at 14 in New Orleans [Music] BC and tune in tomorrow from Monday Night Football on ESPN well here's where that skirmish started watch 94 try to jump through this gap here and as soon as he goes over Tim lalito is digging into his chest and that's where they good things get a little chippy it's a family game football I don't know what they're fighting about down there meanwhile they your kid because you care the Saints will be extinct you gone into joy we give thanks to it's a roof a game here who would have thought that Goff would already have two touchdowns and that the Saints would score so quickly on this Ram defense of the second quarter Benny Cunningham will bring it out of the end zone on the deep kick from will Lutz and he's got a hole to get through across the 26 27 yard line and that's where the RAM offense will take over Jared Goff with a couple of touchdowns and Todd Gurley running well we're tied to the second quarter today's team on Fox is sponsored by citizen echo drive watches powered by light Rams take over at the 27-yard line Jared Goff said this week brighter his second stunner I feel like the starting quarterback now not looking over his shoulder case Keenan started the first nine games of the season for the Rams second start Goff after a tough loss to Miami has a couple of touchdowns and and at the 10-yard line Paul Kruger got to it the pressure is going to come from this side of the defense here and Jared Gauls got to make a quicker decision here I don't know that he actually lost this ball of his own player knocked it out Havenstein but a lot of pressure on the quarterback cam Jordan left defensive end over there causing havoc like he's been doing all year and he matched their takeaway on the other side of the ball and gives through Brees in this offense great field position back in the red zone ball Kruger who they picked up just prior to the season added to the team recovers but Sheldon Rankin's the rookie the first-round pick helping to knock that loose and the Saints take over turnovers are now even my Tower the running back Ruiz comes out firing miss Josh he'll make that Coby Fleener and some intensity down there Fleenor came in fourth on the team in receptions the tight end position Sean Payton said he's a different kind of tight end in this offense they former Colt and Stanford star he had great years in Indian who come in here and people expect him to be the Jimmy Graham tie see if he's just not he's a different type of player Jim Hightower looked like he was on his way in and out it'll be third down and goal challenge for this Rams defense to get a stop here after a turnover no good defenses and Greg Williams defense are always good units take pride in stopping people down when they get in the red zone especially on sudden change opportunities and got a tough one here on the one-yard line those two came together for the Super Bowl title of this New Orleans Saints franchise when they knocked off Peyton Manning and the Colts third down my tower [Applause] it's going to be fourth down st. sweat last time on fourth down and scored on the Mark Ingram touchdown [Applause] Reeves to the sideline timeout used man this was right a touchdown watch this dude right here go right put up a wall right there this looks like it's a touchdown watch how quick he reacts it's just a strike on the goal line puts Tim Hightower down short of the endzone good play ala goggle tree moved to the middle leading the team in tackles and having a Pro Bowl season but the RAM defense couldn't stop the Saints the last time on fourth down I think they're gonna go for it I don't see any reason why he talked earlier in this game about the redemption on this sideline but what do you think is it a run is it a snake his Brees you know he's he can throw it to anybody up there yeah I expect some misdirection that's what they do best they get your eyes going cross cross I going three or four different directions and somebody ends up wide open fourth down seven for eight on fourth down this season let's see if they got see how close extra lineman Toledo is in on fourth down [Applause] it was breeze over the top or you could do that well we threw his name on the mix because they were that close he presents the ball it definitely crosses the plane and unfortunately for true he pays for this touchdown angels fruit pops of random neck as soon as he gets over look at the reaction you see him John Payton down the sideline and the guy whose unit second time on fourth down didn't do it Reese second rushing touchdown it has been confirmed the field communicator all scoring plays are confirmed they just want to get it right and the 16th career rushing touchdown for the guy who lights up the sky with the football but Sean Payton not hesitating on fourth down I think he realizes he's in for a little bit of a scoring affair in this one with the rookie Jared Goff as well let's delivers the extra points and Drew Brees with an exclamation points Saints lead in 2114 [Music] thanks for coming out hope you're enjoying the NFL the Saints in the red zone three times and on third down a touchdown and on fourth down twice Sean Payton going for it and getting the touchdowns so now a 21-14 lead as Benny Cunningham is back to receive last time brought it out from deep in his own end zone but got it up across the 25 yard line it's a short kick that bounces muff and our key looked like he was reaching for it but chase Reynolds recovered it for the Rams and that's where they will take over with Jared Goff let's check in with Jennifer well Chris Rams offensive coordinator Rob Boras had great concern about how the noise might affect Jared Goff so he gained plans all week for how to make him comfortable one strategy he had golf memorized two to three safety plays for every personnel grouping just in case it gets too loud for golf to hear Boris's call in his helmet hopefully that would make him more comfortable they scripted these plays on Tuesday and have reviewed them every day and Chris certainly seems to be working up until that last play thank you 23 Todd Gurley for that he gets the football straight ahead with run hours for a first out across the 35 of the Saints it's funny we mentioned in a terrific run by girl and they want to get him going it's up over 30 yards now well not a good block you'll see the tight end come over here seal the edge top girl is just gonna swing it back do in here great block by kid tricks and then just let this guy do what he does best run through tackles I tell you if he would have bounced that that could have been an even bigger game [Applause] and of 13 first down 36 it's early again this time knocked backwards Frank Robertson on the tackle let's check in on the Giants ten rounds with charissa thank you Chris after a fumble [Applause] thanks charissa the NFC East teams will load it all playing well by the way Arizona and Atlanta are tied at 10 teams affecting these two in their divisions on second and seventh [Applause] got the pressure coming in complete holder that was Kendricks who's had problems Jeff Fischer asked about him during the week he said well his what's this outweigh his negatives but he's been very inconsistent and Goff without a Hubble rod they comes to the line yeah interesting on third seventh he brings him up to why the hurry up but they could safely try to make a substitution they just want to get on the field see if they could take advantage of that need to get to the 46 for a first down and that's a late throw that [Applause] a couple of throws showed some stress again with Jared golf that one to Kent riche is high this one was late and outside they get off again on 3rd down the state's defense does it wonder after that hot started Jared Goff is starting to feel it a little bit more you know it's sometimes easy to come out and have those first 15 or so plays scripted and know exactly what you want to do but in the flow of the game you see how Jared Goff handles some pressure especially as the Saints continue to mount though it's here Johnny heckard the two-time Pro Bowl putter Tommy Lee Lewis waving everybody away bounces at the 20 Lewis takes it and goes down around the 22 23 well you and I were having some fun about Thanksgiving weekend you were part of the oldest trip to the NFL break book in your playing days the Saints sent their rookies to get the free turkey theirs will watch the kicker they hired an actor to play the guy on the counter who gave him a hard time even said so there's said to us you know the you're the kicker right the idea is to get the ball through the uprights of that lot stick to like another Sheldon Ragan excelled Rankin's right there he was not happy they were good sports about it I guess they get it in the turkey at the end turkey prank Oh Sean paid got the biggest kick out of that you know at the ranch Jeff Fisher telling me the Rams did the exact same things with it with their rookies and they have a new security guy didn't had the same prank but don't talk about that tell each other somebody warned it's it's it's not like a secret throughout the entirety of the season until Thanksgiving because you know it's going to show up and everyone's always false lady from Ohio State he's having one heck of a season-ending Christian and he said running practicing against the Saints defense is kind of like preparing for the Rams defense yeah these guys are very similar Dennis Allen of course worked under Gregg Williams that all those years ago and they have some very similar schemes really play a lot of cover to they have some zone dogs that look the same those are the blitzes that come off the edge so we had some familiarity assure that weenies two teams a hurry coming in was EJ gains from the corner spot oh this is this is a unique wrinkle here and a lot of times you get that corner on the edge you don't expect him the Blitz Drew Brees certainly didn't see him and there is a flag down but away yeah this might be grounding I don't know let's see where he was at I don't think he's out of the tackle box intentional grounding offense number nine there was no receiver in the area 10-yard penalty this is also a loss of down third down it's not very often you see Drew Brees unaware and you see Gaines right there coming in he just he's surprised by it and clearly nobody in the area you have intentional grounding and we have a player being helped on the Rams defense that is game slow to get up he was the one who got in on Brees and forced the flag obviously the Rams will tend to him on the sidelines we hope he's okay they're already thin as you mentioned Troy Hill who was released and then signed back to the team and then put on the practice squad is an active with Michael Jordan the rookie from Missouri Western white countess the rookie from Auburn active today number 24 so he may have to come in to help up yeah you got LaMarcus Joyner who's also a corner but he primarily and really I think only plays inside so Blake countess 24 right there is gonna have to get some snaps and get a chance to find out what is wrong with DJ Gaines I didn't even see what happened to him on that play after he hit to Brees and we'll see if Drew Brees attacks the area that countess will be covering to the 32 for a first down Brees has time [Applause] Thomas gonna get held up on the sidelines trying to get downfield just bitching at Blake countess pass interference defense number 20 the ball replaces father first time I just mentioned it Blake counsels gonna be outside but they put LaMarcus Joyner out here on the corner michael thomas just runs a takeoff and you know as good as this kid plays inside the Marcus Joyner he has some issues on the outside has a lot of holding penalties in coverage and they won that match up Sean Payton was aware of the officiating crew and PJ Gaines by the way has come back in said this was a crew that calls a lot of points take advantage the same groom carries coaches know everything about everybody they study everything and everybody it can't help themself that's what they do they stay up all night fact Sean Payton has put sleeper bits in the locker room where the coaches are so we could go to a hotel nearby by the time you check-in we could save that time and do more work as if those guys don't want to go home to their families Percy gave them a break around the holidays and for Jeff Fischer Thursdays the usual day off for the Rams in their sequence so it worked out well they traveled Friday to New Orleans which to cleaner who dances his way to MIT but short of the first down [Music] so much variation to this offense can line up three wide receivers to the top or to the bottom I'm sorry and you got a tight in I sowed that comes and sits over the ball all the other receivers are on the other side Drew Brees is looking that way but the tight end comes into his field of vision that's an easy completion checked out he takes it picks up nine yards I hesitate to compliment we talked about golf settling in he got sacked in the fumble earlier we were putting up the numbers for Brees he got sack loss to fall through okay to talk about these things we're free to throw completes falling for the first down at the 45 is Josh Hill got up and then got out of the 42 so something with the tight ends working against this RAM defense well not only that Chris pointed you know he's a lot of things that drew brees does well but good quarterbacks are able to do exactly this watch him change his arm angle to deliver this almost underhand looks like to go underneath that rush there finds a tight end Hill right behind I think that's 90 blockers who has fallen off and coverage there but just one of the many things that he continues to [Applause] perhaps have an injured player back at the 45 yard line with Josh Hill does a fantastic job right here watch him hold this blocker for temp make it seem like it's a decent pass Pro and then slips out Drew Brees knows he's going there all the way you see the block by max Unger the screen is set up and he does all the rest of that work himself toll for a 150 yards passing for Brees will check on the injured player Ethan Westbrook's in a moment a lot of times you're talking about offensive linemen you're talking bad things I want you to watch Zach Strief right here you got to pay him off here because look how much look how far he gets down the field here makes a block on TJ McDonald in another 15 16 yards after that blocked down the field Andrus peat 75 right there coming from the other guard great hustle by this offensive line Pro Bowler from Northwestern of the 14 completions for Brees for those have gone to tight ends today Hightower is in on first and goal [Applause] my tower and the Rams defense that will wait to go back Ethan Westbrooks was the injured Ram player and the fans here appreciating his effort he was helped up over to the Rams sideline we'll check on him and there he is standing upright he's the only RAM defensive player who has scored a touchdown Rams usually bigan on defense getting points and it happened against a Tampa Bay earlier in the year I know Jeff Fisher would like more of that but right now just trying to keep the Saints out of the end zone well they have yeah they haven't stopped them yet here in the red zone they need a big one here it is 28 to 14 let's kind of daunting programs so there is content is in the game the end zone catch made touchdown Michael Thomas [Applause] they're just playing cover to hear drew brees is just awesome throwing this football in here this corner is in the flat you're gonna see a safety come over the top you don't really think that you can fit a ball between those two players in cover two but Drew Brees like I said earlier use he sees zone coverage he dices it up and he has great great recognition and understanding with his wide receivers Michael Thomas makes a great catch form you know they took the high road publicly but I'm seeing a little extra excitement and Sean Payton when he scores on that Greg Williams Ram defense I don't think there's any question about that Chris they want this one bad especially for that reason and for the extra point we'll what's and true freeze let's turn this into a 2814 game [Applause] nobody sees sports quite like Colin Cowherd and Jason Whitlock they have the nerve to speak out loud hence Colin and Jason on FS ones daily sports talk show speak for yourself weekdays at 5:00 Eastern well the Saints have spoken up here a couple of four and six teams given the close games that they played in throughout the year that both of these teams have been involved in eight games decided by seven points or less and you'd be surprised that the Rams have the better record in that in that stretch Saints have lost five of those eight in the Rams have won 4 and lost 4 so yeah it's the way the NFC is especially this year you're gonna have to play close football games and you're not able to sneak them out you're gonna fall behind big game here though both teams sitting at four and six playoffs are very muddled when here today goes a long way for either one of these guys Andy Cunningham will grab it on the bounce from the five three Saints for Saints Masterman goes out of bounds around the 20-yard line we'll take over a cynic Cunningham made a lot out of nothing here watch 65 in white right here man keep your eyes up son that is a big-time hit the Benny Cunningham set up a great block by up turnovers have hurt both quarterbacks because they were quickly turned into touchdowns well now dared golf is under some stress now right he's down two touchdowns before the half they're giving the ball to the Saints to start the second half they need two points right now Todd Gurley finds room to the 25 to better warning coming up Saints to timeouts Rams have all three and you know if the Rams don't do something with this the Saints and Sean Payton the best they were the two-minute warning at producing some points and Rodgers Saffold who started at left tackle in place of Craig Robinson is the RAM who is in pain here sh'mon Brown was the left guard to open sample the left tackle let's check in for a game break again with charissa Thompson person thanks Chris Cleveland still looking for their first win this doesn't help Eli Manning connecting with Odell Beckham jr. who was left the game early with a thumb injury not bothered here yeah Anza grond engine all right thank you the Browns remain winless Atlanta's moved in front of Arizona 17 to 10 we have a timeout used by the Rams excuse me by the Saints there's Greg Robinson looking on inactive the former number two overall pick have some family issues to sort through before he could focus on his game and a key costly penalty last week and Rita now all will come in to take the spot with saffle heading to the sidewalk second-year player from Iowa and second and seven Saints I'll have one timeout now after using that Rams have all three and still the two-minute warning that's his caught brettly Marquez has a first down up across the 35 yard line the top special teams player second-year player a free agent from Texas Tech coming up with a catch that we've reached the two-minute warning the Saints at home with the lead Jared Goff of the Rams have the football follow your favorite team all season long go to itunes.com slash NFL on with Ron de barbarac Chris Myers and hope to enjoin the NFL on Fox the Saints defense try to keep the Rams from advancing they have a first down now at the 36 yard line with two minutes to go before half-time Tavon Austin spins up around the 44 yard line finally to get Tavon Austin the football that's what jer golf to do right here in this 2-minute situation he can create space without a lot of room and I just continue to wonder why he doesn't touch the ball 15 times a game at least give him the opportunity he does well have you seen his running back at times during the year blitz coming got firing and open he had to come back for the football but they did not connect Kenny Britt and goth knew it now it's third down and two great route bad throw jarred gulfs got to make this completion it just sails on them and say two or three of these that ball comes out wobbly comes out high got to be able to execute those mechanics as a quarterback in this league when you have an receiver that that's that wide open got a timeout Rams on third down and two check in Los Angeles with Curt Menefee coming up on the visa halftime we'll have highlights of the Ravens and Bengals in Baltimore the Chargers trying to knock Houston out of first place and the Jags struggle the upset against the bill it's all coming up VESA halftime you promised not to make it up takes a lot of makeup light on that morning on that number one pregame show we never used memo case they have they have a great lisa-ashley big enough staff back there that Vicki trilling wardrobe and they thank you I think that's Terry Bradshaw Louisiana native I kid you care a third and two backpedaling Goff throws open connection made for the catch it's Kendricks inside ahead there's a big boy throw there right there for Jared Goff got a great matchup out there and I looked it looked like the Saints dropped coverage but again his ability to extend plays I think is surprising everybody watched 24 right here I'm sorry balls for the cheese up top that's covered to again safety and linebacker of late good job recognize it in print throw 24 yard completion for goth to Lance Kendricks now at the 32 of the Saints trailing by 14 pressure coming gaaah fires and that's complete pushing his way as Kenny Britt now around the 1617 yard line can a Briton estate season he's working with his 10th different starting quarterback as gothis rushing him to the line clock running two timeouts ram's whistle the one thing that we know already about Jared golf even last week is that he is not afraid to deal with pressure at his face and deliver a ball to a to an open receiver this is the second or third time I've seen it where he's about to get hit he knows he has a one-on-one matchup matchup outside he just lets it go and another big completion to Kenny Britt Charlotte numbers last week against the Miami defense in a rainy Los Angeles and the numbers today against this Saints defense completion the brick worth 17 yards another first down spotted right at the 15 Benny Cunningham the receiver back is in fires Kendricks touchdown I was getting ready to say points of any kind or good here they'll take the touchdown Lance Kendrick good job isolate on the backside of this formation just right here he's just gonna end up right there on the goal line and I tell you what his quarterback put an absolute bullet in his chest here he just falls in for the Inza into the end zone for the touchdown those were two things that stood out when the rams and Jeff Fisher looked at drafting Goff his arm strength and in the red zone they happen to notice that every game at cow winning losing whatever conditions that Goff was effective getting points in the red so how about his 2-minute composure they're moving the ball down the field he had a critical third down on that drive he got blitzed he found a completion and then the very next snap there was a great pass that was tied in for the touchdown and yes those are the intangibles that everybody loved about Jared golf coming out we've seen him on display here today and a rookie quarterback with a three touchdown game in the first half after Goff went through that first start without throwing any [Music] fifty-five seconds remain the Saints now with one timeout and it's a seven-point game Goff over 160 yards passing same for Drew Brees the only thing negative you could say about that scoring drive is that people have too much time on the clock 55 seconds is a lot of time for Drew Brees we had some points Friday - excuse me - different storylines that I don't think we expected for goth to light it up like he has and for this RAM defense which in the last four games we mentioned statistically has been the best of the NFL they have been able to stop Drew Brees or the Saints at all yeah it's very contrary to the storylines coming in because initially it was going to be strength on streak than weakness on weakness if as you're writing it out but the Rams defense hasn't been able to stop Drew Brees and this supposedly unimaginative and weak Rams offense has exploded here with 21 points in the first half what's great about the NFL every week no matter what happened last time around you just don't know what you're gonna get and already the amount of points scored in this game rather shocking good game though and again drew brees this US offense and Sean Payton as a play caller love to steal points at the end of half even if it's just three well if anybody can handle a scoring pickup getting back and forth it's Drew Brees and they will get the ball the Rams will be kicking off to start the second half to New Orleans but as you pointed out still 55 to play here in the end zone Louis Dowling it 25-yard line is where Drew Brees will start this past Tuesday the Saints handed out Thanksgiving meals to over a thousand New Orleans residents at the local YMCA for almost 30 years now the Saints the YMCA a partner to provide meals to needy family during the Thanksgiving season drew Brees we showed earlier - it's a very nice gesture on their part we showed the rookies going in for the free turkey whether the clerk said with true breezes it here will give away five turkeys we gave away a lot of the other day this is a great community here their reindeer is positive extra yardage across the 30 shelf backward but the clock is running here I think this Rams defense has to be a little bit aggressive here because if they they're not drew Brees is going to march it down the field here with the timeout left and get themselves into field goal range catch Michael Thomas [Music] and a timeout they're gonna use their last timeout one thing you know they don't want to do is give up something over the top of the defense so Greg Williams brought pressure on that last play wanting Drew Brees to get the ball out of his hands quickly just gotta come up and make it tackle 13 seconds remaining in Iran and our production meeting whenever they put this up I get excited it's like Christmas lights every year yes only after Thanksgiving them can't come up to laughter that I always look at it early but the possibilities and that's why this is so important for the Saints and ramps to stay in the hunt and we'll have an update on that Atlanta Arizona game at the half the the Falcons leading but you can see how well the NFC East teams are doing and what a surprise the Lions have been in the NFC North you know it's it's it's easy to think that you know one of these four and five five and five teams is going to find a way to sneak in and if you're in the NFC South you're the New Orleans Saints you it's probably easier to look at winning your division than it is to find a way through the wild card slots both of these teams had signature wins against Seattle this year for the Rams Duke was in week two and the Saints beat Seattle here in the Superdome put more time back on the clock for that time out of you're wondering so it's 26 hours not 13 officials said the timeout was called earlier tackle made on Hill and the clock will run remember they're out of timeouts now so they need a big play on a spike to give will Lutz a chance the granny cooks it run all the way down to the 10-yard line he's gonna strip back there's the-- it's like eight seconds now showing Visa halftime report coming up with highlights of all the games that dolphins at home are winning the Giants on the road winning Atlanta winning at the moment the Buccaneers will play at home later against Seattle if you're wondering about the NFC South and Carolina playing the Raiders out in Oakland both of these teams the Rams lost to the Lions earlier this year and will face the lines as the Saints will host Detroit next Sunday here in the Superdome eight seconds and that's gonna be a medal day delay okay let's see the frustration play again offense number nine five-yard penalty third down now maybe here you hope for a pass interference cuz that would stop the clock that's not the only thing you can expect here or the sideline doesn't help maybe give just you kicker a long field goal shot if you get 15 or so yards but not much you could do here on offense for two threes well what's has made a 57-yard field goal [Music] josh'll he'll hold on to that one off I swear man this kid couldn't run in hit little kid what a game drew brees drew brees being challenged by the rookie Jared Goff in his first road and start and the hits keep on coming he may have something worse than that though and a Rams going out at new orleans with a seven point lead the VESA half time report is coming up after this brief message top is high scoring first half unexpected here with the Rams and Saints Rams getting ready to kick off to New Orleans and let's check on today's excitement brought to you by the new Nissan Titan do you expect from Drew Brees to line it up he's thrown for two touchdowns and run for one but the rookie Jared Goff and his first road start has thrown for three touchdowns and that has provided plenty of often said excitement that is today's excitement brought to you by the new Nissan Titan Ronde Barber Chris Myers we're gonna hear from Jennifer Hale down on the field in just a moment the NFL rookie record for touchdowns in one game is five cop already has three RAM record is four an amazing turnaround in a week now thanks it's unbelievable what this offense looks like a week after his first start last week at the Coliseum but yes he's done some good things I've done some bad things but I've been impressed those three touchdowns were all goods rose the Saints will be receiving the ball here they've been able to move on this Ram defense which has been so good and though in the last month what adjustments to the Rams need to make try and slow down Drew Brees we knew that Drew Brees in this office they score a lot of points they always do but I thought if there was one defense in the league that could match him it would be these Los Angeles Rams but so far they have just been a sieve giving up three touchdowns to one rushing won by Drew Brees himself they're gonna have to step up big-time in this second half they're gonna come with the victory here on the road driving this into the end zone and Zuerlein and Louis Downey had one thing we heard Jeff Fisher it's saying he allowed us to eavesdrop prior to the half was the Rams have to get Todd Gurley going on offense he's only had eight carries meanwhile drew Brees has leaned on Mark Ingram who rushed for a touchdown 53 yards rushing in the first half over a six and a half yard carry for Ingram coming off that concussion protocol well I feel like this is an offense that a lot of times run the ball reluctantly but they know that they have to do it and what drew Brees is going throwing the football it opens up the run it's very contrary to what a lot of pundits will say you got to run the ball to throw it they throw it so they couldn't run it see what they do here to start the second half from the 25-yard line and it is a row putting the moves on all the way inside the 15 of the ran from his own 25 60 Plus run lot of credit to Mark Ingram on the run but what's John 29 on the Block on mark Baron right here look how wide this gap goods Eric Donnell is handled by tarik Terron Armstead and just off to the races nothing these safeties could do except for try to wait for the posse to come up make a tackle for him and quickly they get to the line he's over a hundred yards pine tower gets his turn and is knocked down right away on the backfield by William Hayes Terron Armstead returning from that knee injury and I know that Sean Payton thought that would be a big boost the offensive line held together without him but much more productive when he's in there well I got to give Anders Pete a lot of credit for what he did when he had the bounce out to left tackle but they are much better football team Terron Armstead is starting at left hand so athletic he was able there to hold on to a really good defensive tackle and Aaron down on to spring that run come out with a big rush got a big stop on around at the 21-yard line Robert quitted with his fourth sack of the year no sooner do I talk about rock Armstead he gives up the sack to Robert Quinn and he only has three sacks on the year but he is as still as explosive as anyone watch how fast he gets the edge right here on 72 and that gives him his fourth sack loss of six now third and 17 well sometimes it's a guessing game or defense what you're trying to do if Greg Williams splits the other side of the defense watch all these bodies come here and they're setting up a screen out this way nobody there I don't know if Mark Fair supposed to have primary coverage but somebody had a bust he just strolls casually into the end zone my keys on Bourbon Street [Music] third touchdown pass of the game for Brees second touchdown for Ingram he's run one in he's already over a hundred yards averaging 12 almost 13 yards a carry fairly catches that touchdown pass from 21 yards out on a third down play the Saints have come through in the red zone on third and fourth down that's why he's so excited today Siemens sponsored by Southwest yesterday affairs with nothing to hide that's transparency by Nissan innovation that excites and by Burger King now get ten Duckett's for only $1 49 only at Burger King [Music] the varying emotions of the sidelines where the play works and the one where it didn't work that coach Jeff Fischer with his defensive coordinator that does not look all warm and fuzzy so now a 14-point lead it's 35 21 as will watts kicks off and Benny Cunningham on the move from just inside his goal line the 27 yard line what's the dabble the field of Jennifer Vale Christian already has more passing yards and a half that he did our game last week and Jeff Fisher tells me this is the quarterback I decided to start this is why question is can he do it with a battered old line roger Saffold will not be back in the game doctors x-ray at his hand and they team badly x-rays came back negative Sean Payton tells me they'll be mixing up looks on Goff trying to confuse not so happy with his defenses performance versus the Rams in that first half and to reiterate what Jeff Fischer said about get the ball to Gurley if you're down two touchdowns he's only had eight carries you got to hang in there with his high score in Saints team [Applause] to girly who gets to the 35 still squirming where it'll be second down we put a lot of stress on your rookie quarterback giving up 35 points in just over a half in the series so yes Jared Goff is gonna have to answer a lot of questions here about his ability to lead a team back down by 20 points here and you talked about two touchdowns here you talked about how the office they've opened it up a little bit maybe do more of what he's comfortable with that's what I've talked about coming into this game there's a flag [Applause] that's good enough for a first now let's check the flag referee John Hussey offside defense number 94 lined up in the neutral zone this penalty is declined he's all through the play first down our referee John hussy found in to charity pound wishes it helps raise money for animal shelters and rescues pound wishes calm love a buck help a pet and he's focusing on the call which was declined because the run good enough by Gurley to pick up seven and the first down [Applause] girly they fake to throwing for Britt and overthrew him and was knocked down inside the 35 let's check it again for a game break with Carissa thanks Chris we go back to Miami midway through the 3rd down 10 colin kaepernick 4 yard touchdown pass to Derek Derek Selleck - trying to snap that nine-game losing sleep it's a sting spike there by Garrett's I like dolphins with in 1714 Chris I Thank You charissa the Dolphins try to keep their winning streak intact Seattle in the NFC West the leader over Arizona which is trailing in Atlanta and the Rams and then there are the 49ers todd gurley spits out as a receiver see the crowd and it's intercepted Kenny Vaccaro on the return hangs on at the 30-yard line the first interception of Jared Goff pro career I'm not sure why he decided to make this throw over here you see he's it's just a quick out route Kenny Vaccaro is just eyeing the tight end Kendricks makes a great play but on the other side of the football he has Tavon Austin matched up on Danelle ellaby right there may be sterling Moore was gonna jump on that route but I thought that was the wrong direction to go could play though by Kenny Vaccaro safety playing nickel plan will Sam lime back he's doing a lot of things for this defense comes up with a huge interception there the Picaro case you're wondering red heard the news earlier about a yield as the runner was touchdown by contact it will be New Orleans ball first down the devil replaced on the Saints 49-yard 49 yard line they're moving the hakarl picked back saying he was touchdown right there contact with a ramp and that looks like an accurate call actually didn't have to pull yet he didn't have the ball till after he was clear of Kendricks so that would negate a major return that took it all the way down deep in RAM territory and that's what Sean Payton is telling him right there that he was not in possession of the football before he was touched it's about a 20 yard difference wanted to mention Vacarro awaiting test results and that has to make a decision on a suspension the interception is good that's not what's in doubt here it's where he was down that Sean Payton is arguing and if he's ruled out by contact it's not reviewable so there's he could point to the big screen station can't change it at this point anyways the discussion on the field was that the interception player was touched down by contact on the 49 yard line [Applause] [Music] John Hussey making it clear we can conject about this on one shin right there it has it in his leg may have touched his arm it may be the wrong decision but either away the whistle is blown there's nothing we could do about it none that they could do about it so it's a mute point you discussion that Sean Payton is having the official now a moot point not reviewable Sean chest Genting nonetheless he has the ball back with a 14-point lead and offense that's smoking right now it just has this Rams defense by the tail and is whipping him around right now I'll see if his defense can come up with a stop right now because if not I don't know what this Rams offense is gonna be able to do try to get back in his game the car with the big play of the versatile defensive back Hightower is in after Ingram carried him to a touchdown and then comet touchdown - Drive the breeze don't see tonight our at the 45 saying offense against what had been a very good defense in the last five possessions they have not had a problem at all right before they have it ran out of a little time that's really what stopped him and Mark Ingram eighth 100-yard rushing game his second this year he had that 61 yard run and then the catch that put up the 35th point Ingram watching is Hightower is the back second down sexy gets the football and falls forward will bring up third and short all-important third down here see if Greg Williams decides to bring pressure again because I feel like he's been populating the box in the line of scrimmage with guys trying to disrupt through Brees but he's finding open receivers and they're making huge gains out of it so this is important call for greg williams defense right now and the Saints are right at their average for the year just over 50% which leads the NFL and we have an injured player they are checking on ours dead of the Saints [Applause] Terron Armstead who is just returning from a quad and knee injury and the frustration as he heads to the sidelines semi Ocala medic comes in Andra speech slides over and on third and three Mark Ingram is in a running back breeze floats one for Michael Thomas and incomplete there are no flags and the coverage was pretty good the saints arguing that LaMarcus Joyner may have bitter fear but no flag I think good coverage here by LaMarcus Joyner is in the framework he's looking for the ball I perfectly done lean looking lean that's a tried and tested technique look into the lean into the receiver look back for the ball they're not gonna throw the flag on you Tavon Austin back to return the punt Thomas Moore step standing inside the 45 of New Orleans the Rams get a rare stop on third and short against the Saints Boston what's this go and more stats kick he goes into the end zone it's a major break for the Rams ball comes out and they'll have better field position than if Austin had fair caught it Rams have the football trailing by 14 today's game is sponsored by Verizon it's always a great gift on Verizon back in a festive Superdome Friday night the pac-12 championship it's Washington and Colorado and then Saturday night the Big Ten championship Wisconsin and Penn State - the biggest championship games in college football and you can see them on Fox Friday and Saturday night Jared Goff his first turnovers of his pro career earlier lost a fumble than an interception from the 20 yard line tavon Austin it's up across the 33 touchdown passes in the game for Jared Goff and his first road start after sitting for ten weeks nine games some Ram fans who said why did they unleash him a little earlier you know I I do agree that it helped to him for him to sit but if I was going to see what I'm seeing today I'm kind of with you why not put this guy in he's still a great composure today for me even after that interception look on his face didn't change his very very even-keeled and it's only gonna serve to help him as he learns to play in this league after the first down pick up right at the 30 extra pressure is picked out the throw Kenny Britt tackled right away well gosh Anna I trust what the coaches are doing when he sat in the watch they talked about coming from a spread office not taking a lot of snaps over Center but a smart young player who as his coaching staff said he can put the ball in tight windows in the arm strength has never been a question well he's not scared to put the ball in tight windows and obviously as evidenced by the interception he just threw trying to get the ball to Kendricks but he does offer here a little bit more in terms of type ability over Case Keenum his good boot seen him playing this well in his second start at six foot four second down into a crowd goes girl and will bring up third down you know you talk about rookie quarterbacks a team look at all this stuff he's out doing changing the play set protections communicate with his receiver fluttering up and here comes the strong-arm dinner golf deliver a strike to us privacy that's good stuff we're young quarterback I think people were judging too quickly and harshly when he didn't play before he had a chance to prove himself with Carson Wentz and Zach Prescott what other rookie quarterbacks were doing now he's got a third and four complete Brian quick is short of the first down Paul came out after but they whistled down right away so it is a catch but not a first down and this is where Jeff Fisher you're on your own side of the field you know last week they didn't go for it course different circumstance they have the lead there were the other teams 40 and they on fourth and one kicked a field goal which was missed trying to kick a field goal here even though they're down two touchdowns too early to gamble well you say that but the fake punt you never know you never know Johnny hacker the former high school quarterback and the Saints are aware of that he'll blow it away [Music] and give him room for the fair catch and what a terrific kick without a return and deep inside the ten Packer delivers a 53 yarder Saints take over on offense leading by 14 [Music] Johnny hacker and the Rams spud coverage team the best in the league yet a 78 yarder against the Jets earlier in the year he has thrown 10 passes in four seasons but none this year from the punt formation Brees on first down to Michael Thomas who slips one tackle that is thrown down inside the 10 Cory Littleton got there after Tremaine Johnson and slow to get up both teams have lost their starting left tackle today Armstead for the Saints and then Saffold who moved into that spot for Craig Robinson they're out for the remainder of the game the RAM defense which held up last time after the interception it was a big call - on the return by the way the officials downing it now have a chance to pin the Saints and Brees back inside their own 10 further [Applause] [Music] [Applause] gets rid of it let's get a kid break yeah check in again with Karissa thanks Chris back to Miami we go dolphins looking for their sixth win in a row 1714 late third Ryan Tannehill finds penny skills for this 43 yards for Miami Dade's 24:14 respond Anja thank you dolphins ruling and in case people were wondering when Brees got rid of the ball receiver in the area it was looking for Mark Ingram got caught up in that watch so no penalty their third long though Rams defense needs to stop here backed up situation you'll give good field position to your quarterback if they have not done their job for nine that are the Saints on third down today Brees has been sacked twice they rush only three to the 45 it does not matter what they are doing this is Michael Thomas here it just runs his deep in route behind this zone coverage and I continue to say you play zone coverage with Drew Brees give him a little bit of time the only rush 3 he's gonna find the right throw and he's so accurate down the field picks up a big gainer on that third down Michael Thomas the game's leading receiver with six catches and 69 yards have the earlier touchdown Brees is nearing the 250 yard passing mark he's got three touchdowns and he read one in himself from a yard up Rams jumped it looked like flag flies free play for Brees it appears as Josh Hill has it obviously that's going to be offsides on the Rams but you're just demoralized offside defense number 92 that penalty is declined the play just demoralizes it defense with you came up a third long pick up big yardage and you as a defender you got to fight that urge to want to make a play right now and they knew they had some opportunities for hard count because this Rams defense is so quick trigger and they got it they're picked up something some more big yardage now they're right back knocking off the red zone here well if the ear the Rams and your strength of your team is defense you've got to do better I know you're facing Brees and Sean Payton and the creativity of the Saints offense but they are just not measuring up Hill career-high well the issue with the Rams trying to stop the Saints offenses just so many weapons yeah it's not as if it's one guy obviously the runners playing well Mark Ingram but no Drew Brees is gonna find seven to nine receivers every single game nine guys on this team have more than ten catches that's just amazing you just don't see that NFL the ability to distribute the ball that well there's just too many options for these Rams to deal with today straight ahead is John and first down New Orleans clock running just over four minutes in the third they came out the second half with a big Mark Ingram run and then Brees flipped it to him for a touchdown that's been the only scoring so far in this third quarter aside from a turnover doesn't feel like the Rams defense is gonna do anything to stop this this office right now move the ball down the field at will [Applause] [Music] [Applause] well I know one thing if you're Sean Payton the drew brees all you do is study other teens tendencies obviously they know Greg Williams tendencies but I want you to watch what games does right here he has to read the run cuz he's expected to make a play in the run game if it comes out there gets no rear out safety is laid over the top touchdown close call over on the far side to be confirmed and it was so what's his kick 42 points the Saints have put up and drew brees 30 touchdown passes this season we're in game 11 a 92 yard drive you know you just get the feeling that it is personal and it is business and look what the offensive Sean Payton has done against the Rams defense in one time Saints defensive coordinator Greg Williams through Brees was very quiet during the week talking about that whole situation he's been very loud today on the field he talked about his completion percentage he's well over 78 percent for 290 yards and four touchdowns I mean if you're trying to make a statement against your ex defensive coordinator consider it job done already [Applause] remember the Rams came in in their last four games stretch one of the better defenses in the league holding opponents to low point totals Cunningham will have to down that Rams start at the 25-yard line after a two-year investigation the NFL claimed that the Saints had bounties for hits on opposing choirs Williams met with the Commissioner about the accusations admitted to some wrongdoing they hood handed down a one-year suspension for Sean Payton Greg Williams suspended indefinitely eventually brought back Saints were also fined $500,000 and lost a couple of second-round draft picks first time for Williams back in New Orleans [Applause] todd gurley works his way up across the 31-yard line well now you know why when the Rams have that fourth and one even though it was at their own 40 it was worth raising the question why not go for it you're gonna give the ball back to that same offense you almost feel like they have to rest the game and you're chasing it now at this point you're down 21 points you're in a no huddle hurry up off it's already there's three minutes left in the third quarter Goff has to get rid of it knocked down as he did he's comfortable even though this is his second start on running the no-huddle in the hurry up at least that's what he and his coaches it sir [Applause] here and just right underneath the chin strap of Jericho shot their Case Keenum who started the first nine games that has been a loyal teammate helping Jared Goff with the rookie transition third down and two Flitz and gothis down Vonzell rookie on rookie and a flag down holding defense number 59 I'm gonna call Danelle Ellerbee this is absolutely the right call Danelle ellaby right here watch him grab Minnie Cunningham as each it searched into this blitz he had some man carvers thinks he's blocking it off he's not got to grab him I'm not sure that tariff golf would have found him for the reception anyways but it is a penalty for penalties have been accepted on each team today fresh set of downs for the Rams at the 37 and a half yard line of Los Angeles that'll move the Rams back over there well start offense number 64 five-yard penalty first down that's under now had to come in for Rogers Saffold the starting left tackle who was injured the thing right now if you're the New Orleans Rams defense you're Dennis Allen on the sidelines you know to this team he's gonna sit you're gonna try to get back in this football game as he goes under center she's actually I think I had played this game I'm talking about but they can pin their ears back on defense and get after this quarterback see if they continue to put their quarterback in harm's way here need to get to the 48 here comes another flag [Applause] you know its defensive penalties for the most part that hurt the Rams last week and that loss to Miami well the Rams need to absolutely settle down right now pressure-packed situation your on the road is getting loud in here you can't get it all back at one point you just got to continue to focus on your technique doing your job getting yourself the chance to climb back in this football game that these two successive penalties are not helping Goff has to go to the sideline it'll go out of bounds with a minimal game let's get another game break check in with charissa thanks Chris back to Miami drew Brees is having a great day so is Ryan Tannehill is 24:14 when he connects with me on takes root for this 15 yards for Miami up 3114 if this far holds up the Niners will have lost their 10th straight restaurant own jet and the Dolphins will continue with their winning streak thanks charissa as we look at the AFC East the Rams will play at New England next week after a pickup of five second down is gonna go down and this time there are no flags give Cameron Jordan the sack gallery was in on it [Applause] well these two guys is going to come just like that and they're almost untouched get to the quarterback so I had the wrong guys circled there but cam Jordan playing some great football on top just Nitin heat up the pin your ears back not having to slow down because of the run game these guys are just hunting after Jared Goff right now he's gonna have to find a way to make some quicker decisions he's gonna keep taking these kind of hits damn Jordan has not missed a game of his career 90 first straight game there comes a flag as the pass goes to Benny Cunningham up at the 35 not good enough for the first out two men emotion on the offense they'll both at the same time this penalty is declined brings up fourth down [Applause] the referee explaining to Jared Goff clock running here and the putting it on its way out on 4th and 12 and the third quarter winding down that was not a good sequence on offense for the Los Angeles Rams and hard to put fault on your young quarterback there when you're getting all these false starts and penalties backing you up in unmanageable situations Tommy Lee Lewis foot shuffle steps up walk but the Saints looked like they got out at first a missed opportunity by the Rams but Shiloh Keo came up with it and the Saints shall have the football and a 42 21 lead at the end of three [Music] as we start the fourth quarter Tommy Lee Lewis almost Saints fortunate to get that back as Michael Thomas of the Rams missed a chance to recover and Sean Payton going out at the rookie didn't want to hear it it's like your dad yelling at you you know I'm right yes I know you're right I know you're right I know you know you know I'm right yes they have just had so many woes on special teams and obviously they wrapped it they talked about it it can't afford to have miscues anymore this year it's why they've brought in that third special teams assistant [Applause] Hightower carries trizzie surges across the 26-yard line [Applause] well young Jared Goff got the Rams going early and like he could go toe-to-toe for a while with the Saints what jumps out to me the rushing yards for the Saints compared to the Rams and Gurley again not near 100 yards well they had that explosive run by Ingram to start the second half that's what a lot of that yard has come from but yes but you're trailing in a football game Todd Gurley hasn't been able to be a factor in the running game he's sowed a little bit better today he has but it's not that type of game Thomas gets a carry and steps out of bounds but looks like he had enough for the first down that's good coaching Sean Peyton right just gave me the business when he came to the sidelines and he doesn't my favor fills his confidence puts him in the game hands the football yeah that's what a lot of these guys love about their head coach is that he's not gonna give up on you if you're in the game playing you're in the game plan got a chance to force a little bit of retribution there with that run Saints will work the clock Drew Brees with 30 touchdown passes this season ninth time at tides him with Favre and Manning for most all time in NFL history as Hightower carries across the 37 yard line and Febreeze his 30th for touchdown passing game and you throw in the keeper to the end zone and he has been a an important factor against this RAM defense that they have been able to figure out I don't want to say this this Rams defense didn't come to play because they they did obviously they come to player you haven't seen a film where they're not flying around impacting games they had to turn over early but since then it's been all Saints and Drew Brees in his office just 430 total yards for New Orleans most to the first now Michael Thomas lunging he's a boy like a rookie he certainly doesn't look like a rookie doesn't act like a rookie he's very mature and he understands that he knows that he needs to get better got a great teacher in that regard and Drew Brees and I don't know what week it was because we had these guys week one but by the time we saw him again in week four he had already taken huge steps as a receiver in this league and the ensuing 12 or 11 weeks or whatever it's been have been just continue to showcase how good a player he could be two touchdown catches today eight catches for the game near the 45 yard line let's check out the Falcons and Cardinals with Curt Menefee yes another enough scene South versus West matchup going the way on this side together Gabriel turns on the speed 25 yards for his second of the day Atlanta rolling right now 7 and a half left foot went 13 of the brothers Chris Ronde and Jen and Karthi leaders Dan Quinn and Matt Ryan off to a good first half and surging into the second half later that NFC West South thing takes place in Tampa with Seattle in the box Tampa Bay and Jameis Winston at five and five [Applause] switch to the 47 of the Rams ej gaines who was slow to get up earlier is ailing again there are two thoughts on the play both by the same team illegal shift two men moving on the offense that penalty is declined holding offense number 73 that penalty is enforced ten yards from the previous spot second down Jerry Evans the call Rams will accept that one and we'll check on the injury here in New Orleans [Music] today's game is sponsored by the all-new 2017 Ford Super Duty this is the next level and by the $10 any carrier deal from Pizza Hut only at Pizza high here in New Orleans Rams already injury ravaged in the secondary J gains taken to the cart Saints have a second and 18 after the penalty they've only had to punt twice today piling up 42 points [Music] Mark Ingram plenty of Running Room and to midfield he makes it look easy short of the first down increasing his 12 yard for carry average in this game well there's a bunch of mitts tackles on this run here and you know you get second long you got to expect as a draw or screen and then just running by net there's the rookie countess coming in and 15 yards down the field they finally get the runner on the ground and this Saints often it's crisp night started breaking into numbers I'm not a big numbers guy but they lead the league in first downs then the Los Angeles Rams dead last that's probably a big indication of why this game is starting to turn out the way it is a third and three Willie Snead can he throw it he will touchdown Saints talk about drawing insult to injury or whatever this thing is that is absolutely just pouring it on and you know the rules we'll each needs up top of your screen drew brees can't be a perception and receiver here because he's under the center but the runningback can and nobody even looks at him wide open in the flat with acres of space fit throw by Willie Sneed I didn't know he was a quarterback he's got a touchdown completion and it is a huge almost insurmountable looking lead right now for the New Orleans Saints [Applause] Willie Snead with a touchdown pass and talk about rubbing it in he was an all-purpose all-state quarterback Michigan's Player of the Year as a senior at Muskegon Heights in Michigan Willie Snead dialing up some memories Willie Snead he played for his father Willie Snead at three different high schools the winning was at Michigan I mentioned he played quarterback the year before he was a receiver and caught passes from Kirk Cousins here he throws one with a 21-point lead I tell you what I think every team has what they call a flea-flicker Friday and they put in these gadget tight plays but to get the 21 point lead and you're feeling good about yourself everything's going as planned why not throw it what a free agent pickup by the Saints team Snead has been a reliable receiver now showing quarterbacks skills as Benny Cunningham some room bill Lux is over there and Cunningham working his way down the sideline before he has run out of bounds well an entertaining game that got out of hand is the fourth time the Saints have gained 500 yards or more on offense that's the most of any team between the Saints in Atlanta talk about offenses that score and put up points and a lot of yardage let's talk about the Saints of the bigger picture if you give them the victory to the head it's not over yet but what are their chances in your eyes with this offensive making a serious playoff run with this offense they can do whatever they want I mean it could score points that well the defense is the one who has to step up and they've done that so far in the second half I think we were all somewhat surprised at the amount of success that the ramps had early in this game but I gotta tell you man in second half they have given up nothing to tear golf in this offense God firing in the catch made that's Kendricks now what do you think of a 21-point fourth quarter lead and a trick play like that like I said you know I there's no it's not college football but you know you got chances you know you have the deepest right where you want them I don't see any problem Sean Payton loves to call plays self backwards Nick fairly you talked about at the start of the broadcast an improved player getting a second chance with the Rams and them even a better chance as he says to play here for Sean Payton he's an interesting case because he'll be a free agent at the end of the year obviously you trapped Shelton Rankin's in the first round he's a player much much like Aaron Donald on the other side but Nick Fairley man he has earned himself some money for sure but the way he's played second half of the season nine minute mark on the fourth quarter [Applause] and he puts a move on and gets knocked down closer to a first down and he looks like he's in pain having a career year his best season in his eighth season Jeff fish was just saying this week because Britt was the healthiest he's been in a while and now he's down in pain [Music] today's game is sponsored by Sprint visit Sprint calm which and save today small screen stadium-sized contest you can watch five local Sunday games on your smartphone with NFL mobile picture they're frustrating day for the rams the 49 points most by any team scored in a game this year we have a total of 70 on the board fourth of the yard tot Girling and thus a defense fighting as if this was a one score game and I don't know that he got this it doesn't look like it from where they put the spot down [Applause] good push up front by that Saints defensive line taking spot here [Applause] it's short this is a type of game to prison the safe defense has been playing a lot better late it helps that they've got some healthy corners that they were missing earlier in the year you get Danelle l would be back that helps but you're going against this this offense and it wasn't prolific by hitting means but I'm really encouraged by what I've seen on film and what I've seen the second half of this unit the measurement ruled again on the field and spotted short and that's the way it looks don't know if there's anything there that Jeff Fisher might want to challenge but going for it understandable I'm not getting it so the Saints offense will take over that defense though I think you talked about Dennis Allen former head coach of the Raiders who came in last year but got to run the defense for New Orleans this year and as he got those healthy players back you could see the defense fitting into what he wanted and playing the kind of defense that he wanted it's also about understanding - and you know it's one thing to to know what you're supposed to do it's another thing to actually go out on the field and do it and so you get success it's hard to build when you're failing they were failing earlier but when you get success it's a lot easier to go into the meeting room on Monday after a game and coachup what you've done well and say yes that's exactly what it's supposed to look like and just more and more as those weeks have gone on you've seen those successes happen and they're just continuing to build on [Applause] Mark Ingram down at the 35 averaging 12 yards a carry nearing the 140 yard mark for him today he's kind of touchdown and run for a touchdown well he's been an explosive runner ever since that fumbling issue had him on the bench for a game he came back in that San Francisco game had some explosive runs he had the explosive run to start this second half and that's just what he offers him he's a is a different type of back than what he's sharing carries with Hightower but he's the guy that can hit home run for it we've seen it over and over again to play the 35 knocked backward but did not go down let's get a game break check in with curtain Los Angeles and we will check in with Odell Beckham jr. again his second touchdown of the day against Cleveland 96 yards receiving right now for all dolled up 27:13 need before ground when was and win their 6th straight Chris LeBron I think that's a well the joints have been a very respectable that NFC course the Cowboys won their 10th straight on Thanksgiving meeting yes he's right Redskins despite a terrific performance from Kirk Cousins Ruiz is throwing its tips completely and it'll be fourth down here comes the plumbing in it Brees frustrated even though it's a 4921 lead and the Falcons running away from Arras Arizona it's 37 to 19 now with two minutes left in that game in Atlanta Cardinals played in the NFC Championship game last year with Carolina and they'll fall further below 500 and they're different team this year aren't there's just quarterbacks getting beat up this team the st. Louis team beat them that got after Carson Palmer I imagine that's what's happened in Atlanta today Tavon Austin from inside of the ramp [Applause] almost now that Oakland could brought down around the 12 yard line Jared Goff 19 out of 30 with three touchdowns but the Saints with 49 points up on the board and 650 to play 1 minutes to play Jared Goff who had an exciting first half with three touchdowns Saints defense has settled into the second half Saint offenses got crazy over 200 yards passing through the air for God his second NFL start taught girly the catching knockdown right away Kenny Vaccaro the nice form tackle by Kenny Vaccaro great brush by 94 is right there under underneath lrb cam Jordan right through a double-team moves the quarterback off the spot [Applause] dosterone mix-up there Kenny Britt was on that side of the field but it's third down Jeff Fisher bringing the Rams back to Los Angeles for the first to have an worth of a couple of decades and as a Rams coach st. Louis to OSU yet supposed to winning season they like to play things close to the vest in this game is I think couldn't be any more different than that wide open offense to start the game for the Rams led to a wide open offense for the New Orleans Saints and you get in a shootout or Sean Payton and Drew Brees or not you're gonna lose pressure coming and Gough goes down lrb with a sack third sack have got today and now it's just it's just looking too easy just put too many guys over there not enough bodies to block and it's a race to the quarterback ramzan Saints a history if you go back in the old NFL West there when they had Atlanta in San Francisco with the LA Rams and the Saints we're all in the same Western Division that's when they played each other twice a year becquer booms this one out and bird is chasing it now and let it go inside the 30 excellent kicked by hacker speaking of history first game in Saints franchise history in 1967 against the LA Rams John Gilliam returning the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown Roman Gabriel threw for 300 yards and a touchdown he ran for another the Rams one of those uniforms by the way Rams need to get back to those at some point hopefully they will there is John Gilliam in attendance today as the Saints had a number of players from their fiftieth anniversary team and that original team here to watch [Applause] ready [Applause] Michael Thomas I wonder if they decided to throw the ball here to get drew brees over 300 yards maybe that's why he was smoked sick going to the sideline earlier but 28 point lead five minutes in the game I don't know why you're not turn around handed a football off yeah well a statement you talked about a statement game so Michael Thomas over a hundred yards receiving second time in his rookie season and Drew Brees seventh time this year a 300 yard game a hundred and three in his Hall of Fame career tower running through Rams all the way down to the 31 of the round well this is just not good anymore is turned into somewhat of an embarrassment this is just gap running somebody on the second levels got a beautifly make a tackle they're not holding back you can tell they have a purpose today and it is being served well they took the high road with any public statements but what lies within is coming out on the field today Aaron with the tackle I've just never seen them give in like this to so many big plays there's obviously being in close football games was the result of their defense their offense has been anemic all year we know that but the defense was always something you could count on and it happens sometimes I played on a bunch of good defense is where we got just exposed and gashed and you can learn something from it but I just expected more out of them and I know it I would not be taking credit away from Drew Brees by black down as Ingram goes out of bounds holding office number 29 10-yard penalty second down that call on John the full-back Saints have had a number of big plays against Iran defense that in the last four games that only allowed 12 and a half points per game and only allow 253 yards of offense Saints are up around 550 [Applause] Mark Ingram again finishing that playoff let's head down to Jennifer well Chris this matchup with Gregg Williams isn't just personal by Sean Bateman I was also personal to Drew Brees he had to serve as a de-facto coach in some ways because of the rollercoaster of suspensions don't forget different coaches coming in and out that year that Sean Payton was gone Aaron Cromer for a little bit Joe Vitt for a little bit and drew had to shoulder much of the responsibility his games suffered for it that season so you can bet he hasn't forgotten about that either well he and Sean Payton since they have come together with this Saints team have done amazing things Sean Payton next month will turn 53 years old his 11th season as head coach in 2012 season when he dealt with that suspension but since he has come together with Drew Brees over the last decade the Saints are always a threat and especially offensively as we are nearing the two-minute warning of the Saints are getting closer to their fifth win of the season after starting out oh and three a dramatic win when Drew Brees returned to San Diego and holding up big numbers today we've reached the two-minute warning in New Orleans the Saints in control today's game is sponsored by McDonald's I'm loving it [Music] you shouldn't feel good about any of your pics undisputed America's fastest growing sports show 9:30 Eastern fs1 [Music] Saints lining up to punt the the RAM defense last four games they allowed a total of 50 points that they've allowed 49 alone in today's game nice try but it's a touch back so where an offense where the Rams will take the field trailing 49 to 21 well you and I'll be here in the Superdome as the Lions come to town boy they've been hot that should be it this is where Matthew Stafford number one overall pick made his professional debut and put up some touchdowns but lost to the Saints and Drew Brees and that in the division Tampa Bay twice and then Atlanta which one today 38:19 and leaves the NFC so yeah unique that they play in Tampa Bay twice in two in three weeks there but the skate schedule looks favorable I think and sets up them up for a really big match at junk 17 and it see who's gonna make the playoffs here in the NFC South but a lot left to play out here in the next five weeks free agent running back Malcolm Brown has come in and carry todd gurley out of the game with 13 carries and 50 yards the Rams at New England and then home against the Falcons Thursday at Seattle they have the 49ers at the LA Coliseum on Christmas Eve and then finished with the Arizona Cardinals also at home and the good news is that they snapped out of that offensive schism handle averaging around 10 points a game putting 21 up but that was all in the first half effect as Malcolm Brown carries the Saints defense Ronde one second-half touchdown allowed in the last six games and that includes this one today though they played great and there's no question that they buckled down when they needed to on this Rams offense but going back to Los Angeles the one thing you can be hang your hat on is that we saw something in Jarrett Gulf today saw him makes him some good throws he made some bad ones but we saw him make a bunch of good throws some really nice decisions and honestly growth from week one to week two of the starting in his career and it's something they can build on they're not going to like this result not gonna like the way their defense played you can build on some of the things they're young quarterback did today interesting that Rob Haven sty on the right tackle had just one shoe during that play can you play it your socks is that legal NFL equipment there he is see that it's not a white shoe you got to tough it out down to the trenches regardless of the score know what happened to his other shoe it's gone yes big went for the Saints they needed it today to stay in that race for the NFC cell this has been a Michael Burke's production directed by Michael Frank Kevin McCluskey on audio always outstanding James petrale Kendrick go do so in the booth and we will have more from New Orleans where the Saints have defeated the Rams 49 to 21
