2016 Texans @ Packers

just the fourth meeting ever between the youngest franchise one of the oldest houston green bay coming up and let's go down to the sidelines before kickoff to tracy wolfson thanks jim it is brian cushing's first time playing at lambo you get the weather you get the challenge of containing aaron rodgers what do you and your defense need to do today you know like you said just just limit him as best as possible get after him in the pass rush uh cover as best we possibly can and just make him uncomfortable thanks for the time good luck thank you the texans will be receiving the opening kick as green bay deferred and we've referenced a couple of times they've been away from home for nearly a month the last home game was against the texans division rival indianapolis and the colts took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown todman returned it for the score and the colts went on to win that game part of what was a four-game losing streak on monday night with a win against philadelphia this comes in the direction of hux and he will not have a chance to run it back as osweiler will come out and direct things here for the texans and by his own admission it was one of his worst games ever last sunday against san diego he felt he really let the team down but he has no doubt about his ability to lead this team dwayne brown long time left tackle and always reliable lamar miller fifth in the league in rushing back they'd have a thousand yard season with 119 on the ground today so the six and five texans ready to get it started at lambeau this franchise playing here for only the second time ever he brings miller back alongside hands it off to him miller is thrown down after a gain of two by nick perry and let's meet the dom capers led defense capers the d coordinator and the texans first ever head coach daniels has had a good season clay matthews is finally getting healthy and you'll see a difference in his play from earlier in the year when he battled a hamstring injury and haha clinton dix in that secondary ready to challenge the texans passing attack that will now feature three wide receivers hopkins fuller and miller out for this second down to nine and now osweiler slides out to about the 29 for three and osweiler has been under fire but you're not believing everything that you're hearing in the outcry well it's never just one player especially you're talking about an offense no doubt he talked to us he thought he played terrible last week against san diego needs to play better but he needs help also and then we'd set it in the opening guys take routine plays and make something special out of them that's what they need to do here today against this defense which is active and they are athletic green bay's defense it is third and six and here they come oswego steps up away from it he's gonna run for the first down doing a good job of breaking out of a pocket that was collapsing and darting ahead past defenders for eight that's what you gotta do you just got to see it see it believe it and then do it that's what he saw he saw an opening in the pass rush green bay green bay right away comes with a blitz dom cape was very aggressive and two good runs by brock osweiler to give him the first down osweiler no stranger to playing in elements like this at denver and of course raised in montana he's play action fake shakes off the attempted sack and able to throw it in the direction of hopkins incomplete they've got a flag down [Applause] jake ryan who was applying quick offside defense number 98 lined up in the neutral zone five yard penalty replay first down so guy on gives houston a chance now to snap first down all over again first and five from the 43 it'll be it's early i think we can see well bill o'brien he talked about talk to him last night the first thing he goes hey man we gotta score some touchdowns and find a way to make plays and pretty blunt about it too wasn't jim well no question they're 29th in total offense 29th and points scored and only 16 offensive touchdowns in 11 games that's it first and five and the give to millard who weaves for about four but also bill o'brien said this which caught my attention is how you're going to look at it because if i said raise your hands if i said it's december and we're first in first place in our division you'd raise your hand right away and say we like that and that's where they are right now he's just really trying to quiet down all the the noise from the outside that was the speech he gave his team last night at their hotel nearby appleton it's december we're in first you would have taken that back in camp now let's go get this thing going having lost two in a row second and one fedorowitz makes the catch and the forward progress will be enough for the first burnett was on him and drove him back but they'll give him two and a new set of downs well you know just a little thing i think we see the game plan just look at this look how tight the players are to the offensive line of scrimmage why are they doing that this is the way they played they're athletic they're fearless now on the defensive side and also it says houston go ahead try to throw it deep down the field and beat us again two tight ends griffin and fedorowitz [Applause] and a first down from the texan side of the field with 49. as osweiler's throw [Applause] and that is incomplete in the direction of griffin again burnett on the coverage and well conditions are tough little breeze it's wet and everything but one thing they've talked about brock osweiler here it is set and throw he gets a little spread out just didn't get enough on this football i know it's not ideal conditions but that should have been a completion and morgan burnett a guy that can do it all really a tremendous football player almost got the interception second and ten and miller is stopped maybe gets one out of it osweiler's not one who wears a glove a lot of players will wear a glove when conditions deteriorate to this degree yeah well he's played in bad weather we saw him last year in a night game against new england snowing he played really well but the thing about that throw i want to go back to when you're a thrower you got to keep those legs underneath of you to generate power he did not that time that's why i came up short but well let me clarify glove on the left hand yes left hand but not on the throwing hand which so often will give players a better chance to grip it when it's wet nasty third and nine he's got time he's got griffin loses the football and scooped up by burnett burnett's racing down the sideline and he is caught from behind by fuller as griffin tried to battle two packer defenders for that last yard needed for a first down and he coughed it up here's what happens when you have athletic and speed guys on the defensive side so the throw is short good decision by osweiler and look who comes flying in there you got rollins and gunter and morgan burnett always around the football plays near the line of scrimmage covers guys just a tremendous safety and that speed of course their defensive backs to get to the receiver make the big hit [Applause] griffin had both hands wrapped around the gym so sometimes when you get hit hard enough i don't care what you do that football is coming out and it's a 35-yard return giving aaron rodgers and company their first play of the game from the houston 24. every coach will preach before a game about you can't turn it over but it seemed like bill o'brien was going to an extra level with that yesterday talking with us and his texans commit that turnover on their first series that was a takeaway there's a little running play on the toss to starks for about four aaron rodgers is on quite a roll celebrated his 33rd birthday on friday and look at all the different categories he leads the league in completions attempts passing yards and touchdowns and he's thrown at least two touchdowns in six consecutive games i thought he was struggling he was off track you know i just it's hey you talking about noise a lot of noise out there about aaron rodgers i just go by what i see and some facts playing really well second and six that's over to cook and right on them right away as demps and actually a losing yard the rest of that packers offense the line is without language right tackle linsley he's starting again as trevor's been missing time linsley out of ohio state davonte adams he's on some role over the last six games he's caught over 40 passes total one of the hottest receivers in the league third down coming up third and seven [Applause] step down trying to get him offsides [Applause] rogers and it is caught it is caught by cook near the 10-yard line [Applause] aaron rodgers jared cook that's what he keeps talking about we got to get involved in the offense more against more that time on the outside and the size alone that's what makes this play the perfect throw and the size of jared cook goes up makes the catch big first down cook's just been unable to get healthy he had surgery in late may on his foot and was able to start the season then missed six games with an ankle and roger's excited to have him healthy first and ten from the houston 11. getting down near the two-yard line boy he worked his way right around kareem jackson a lot to look at here first you got a running back and a tight end in the backfield and then watch the block on the outside that makes it work boy they hurry up to the line and now rogers to the end zone flag you see it in the secondary that's jackson who broke it up denying jordy nelson i'm pretty quick with the telestrator man i couldn't beat him that time but the screenplay is going gonna see a lot of them today you always do from green bay the the fact that aaron rodgers gets rid of it so quick with speed on target offside defense number 94 half the distance to the goal replay second out they just got to the line and snapped it so quickly houston was not set as you see miller is heading to the locker room tracy well i've been watching lamar miller it happened on that first drive he came off the field he's been on the bench the athletic trainers were looking at his ribs remember he was on the injury report this week with a ribs and an ankle injury and so they are taking them into the locker room right now no word whether it's taking them to the locker room or the x-ray room but as soon as you receive word from the texans i'll let you know okay second one [Music] rogers looking for options spinning around extending plays as he does so brilliantly throws it over the top of everyone [Music] the time excellent all day to throw but one thing you got to know about this houston's defense they got a good secondary they put them in romeo cornell defensive coordinator puts them in a lot of tough spots when they cover one-on-one and look at that extra pass protection as they fight that offensive line can really pass protect double coverage on the slot that's what they love to do nobody open outside adam's completely locked down and they had jared cook double-teamed on the inside so well done by houston got a timeout called by the texans as green bay was lining up in the eye with ripkowski backed up by tommy montgomery as the for tail houston defense you saw vince wilford imploring his team to come up with a big play here near the goal line merciless he's becoming quite the complete player pushing mckinney and again foyer has certainly emerged this year this defensive grinnell's without clowning as we mentioned in the open inactive it is jim you know there they have 10 guys on the defensive side hard to cover here or stop this offense sometimes with 12 but so 10 good good timeout and no clowning it's a big deal i think we're going to see the houston defense be a little more active today with their defensive lineman you've got to find a way to get pressure on aaron rodgers and do what they did that last time no pressure but they kept him in the pocket saved the touchdown problem green bay can pick up the first at the one ball's on the ground and houston appeared to recover it [Applause] looked like aaron rodgers pulled out a little too quick just watching it live and the texans are able to get a takeaway of their own merciless ends up at the bottom of the pile with the football aaron rodgers unable to secure the snap and the packers commit the turnover houston recovery yeah i was wrong about that aaron rodgers did not pull out early the football just didn't come all the way back to him where he could grab it and there's movement again as the snow is beginning to stick on the field here at lambeau gene sterritor is the referee one of the best in the game you know it's cold he's wearing long sleeves neutral zone infraction defense number 98 five yard penalty still first down [Applause] pretty good shot here shows you aaron rodgers does keep his hands under there he's there the football just comes up a hair short and not able to get his left hand under it and mike mccarthy oh my gosh nothing not only the turnover but the center quarterback exchange really frustrating guy on twice now [Applause] good effort by blue for the first down we've got an update let's send it back to the studio at jb new york chief's trying to stay hot they won six of the last seven falcons up seven nothing spencer where three yards out keep play 35-yard completion of travis kelsey kc kicker cairo santos misses the extra point atlanta leads 7-6 over the chiefs back to jim nance phil sims and tracy wolfson all right thank you jp and boomer chief's coming off that thrilling victory on sunday night at the end of the overtime period at denver here's a first down carry by blue and he is backed up by about three yards tracy wolfson let's get the update from you well jim the packers already without linebacker blake martinez now nick perry in the locker room with a hand injury his return is questionable perry's been having a big season and blake martinez inactive because of a left knee sprain well this green bay defense they have depth that's one good thing and we just saw it guy on can they block this defensive front inside pressure speed on the outside second at 13 and uh that is grimes staying on his feet across the 20. getting a good chunk of yardage with what is his matches his longest run of the season nine yard game the cbs sports app for inside access breaking news expert analysis of your favorite team everything you need stay close to the action download the cbs sports app now well miller accounts for about 30 percent of their offense we don't know if we're gonna see him again in the locker room shaking up on that first series and grimes is the third down back on this occasion third and four here's the blitz pass away and the packers had that one sealed that was burnett who was blitzing well they just got him they're gonna do this all day long they got two linebackers or really defensive back but a blitzer and then a follower joe thomas is going to get there morgan burnett and brock osweiler has to throw it once again before he's ready and also good coverage down the field we had he had anything else on that pass because again he got hit when he threw it rollins was positioned to make the pick shane the all-time best in the 17th year sends it to randall cobb at the 25 gets out of the way of his teammate across the 40. and has bounced out at the 46 by corey moore 52 yard punt but a 19-yard run back in a scoreless first quarter at lambeau field [Applause] the nfl on cbs is sponsored by southwest yes to low fares with nothing to hide that's transparency mcdonald's i'm loving it and by directv if you call yourself a sports fan you gotta get directv pierce manufacturing down on appleton making all these fire trucks [Applause] beautiful looking a sacramento so they're making them for everybody hey here we go but can houston find a way to get some pressure on aaron rodgers couldn't do it the first series [Applause] takes the hand off the starks robs it to nelson and he's got yardage near the first down boyier bouncing them out they give him nine just you look at jordy nelson uh as we watch his confidence grow green bay in a hurry up offense over these last few weeks you know getting over that injury getting into the flow and gain shape hard to do and of course getting the catches he's gotten lately just brings that confidence level up that when given the opportunity he'll get open second of one and starks is stopped short of the first this part of the packers offense has been problematic all season long virtually no running game to speak of of course they lost eddie lacy about a month into the season starks was out with a knee for a long time right well the run game gym is what they run it to keep you honest they throw all the quick passes to ty montgomery randall cobb whoever out of the backfield now they're gonna try to run it here starts trying to break outside and it's shut down and the texans wealth balls out they ruled down as merciless won't have his second recovery but quite a play by the houston defense again yep on short yardage well merciless on the outside does an excellent job watch 59 over here when you can't get outside of him nowhere to go and they get the penetration to stop it what did he tell you yesterday merciless he's improved his run defense he feels he's but much more complete player a complete player known as a pass rusher you know last year at 12 and a half sacks but and he's a good dresser too very sharp and sharp defender as you saw right there so the punt my shum is tapped look at this textbook no no but i can't believe it's that's not going to count [Applause] hawkins standing in the end zone but it was exciting to the fans for a second i didn't catch a glimpse of it so i saw the tap i was looking up field a little bit to the 20 the cleats during warm-ups my cause my cleats all around the nfl this week karine jackson's cleats to support the kareem jackson foundation provides aid to breast and childhood cancer patients hopkins wearing cleats to provide aid to victims of domestic violence and rock osweiler's where it leads to support the ronald mcdonald house of houston a lot of them just warned during warm-ups couple kept them on during the game right well you know players are superstitious they like things perfectly they want those cleats broken in the exact way they like them and big thing here separated cleats ready miller is back out there and he gets the handle and he is decked by jake ryan for a loss of four so he had been questionable to return he comes right back on what a return it was yeah he's uh greeted by this jake ryan who's excited of course to be back out there after missing some time with an injury and boy his speed you know what he looks like he looks like a young clay matthews that's what he reminds me of he's got the size he can really run instinctive football player and he has been all over the field so far here early in this game down to the shotgun on second at 14. and dump it off here to miller there you go one defender slide out to about the 24 brought down by julius peppers gain of seven again nfl players are champions on the field and often supporting causes that they care about trying to make positive change in our world and this is a great thing going on this week mike leads my cause and you can discover their personal tributes at nfl.com my cause my cleats that's a great thing they let the players do here's something else the houston texans worried can we handle the blitz by the green bay packers so far the answer is absolutely not looks like it could be a blitz again third and seven so they go to the ground with grimes and grimes is able to pick up the first down excellent call really good of course if you don't make it everybody says wow what a dumb call but the blitz came from the right side here they come the run goes to the left where there's less people so nice i'm sure that was an audible right brock osweiler is seeing pointing to the right he's in charge of most of the run decisions out there good job that time making the right call grimes able to pick up eight they go back to their base offense with miller in the backfield actually braxton miller lined up to the left there's a throw dangerous took a while to get there as again rollins jumped in front of hopkins no wide receiver with a catch so far on the houston side let's go to jb and boomer update time hey jim i know phil respects the quarterback who leads with his arm how about joe flacco this is the second touchdown pass of the day this one is 13 yards and dennis pitta he's 11 of 14 136 yards two tds ravens all over the dolphins 14 nothing back to jim nance so a quick start there thank you fellas 14 nothing ravens over the dolphins who have been streaking of late and ten miller sutter stepman takes off for about three green bay attacking the line of scrimmage the houston texans know this so that's why you see safe pass on first down run it on second trying to make these third downs doable for this offense by the way the backup to osweiler today is not tom savage he is in a local hospital reported with an infection on his elbow on his throwing arm so brandon whedon backs up osweiler who faces a third and eight that's why they're in the pocket now again takes off and he's for the second time able to scramble for a first and he's their leading rusher in the opening quarter picks up another eight excellent job third time we've seen it to you right the middle of the defensive line nobody there nobody opened down the field again in oswald three times runs with the football gonna do whatever it takes good job but you know i think here sooner or later houston has got to throw a football or two down the field to back this defense back a little they are attacking staying very close to the line of scrimmage first give him a couple more osweiler talked to us you know about the game last week and just got to trust what you see and be more reactionary on the field don't try to do it by the book it's a game of feel it's knowledge and then you gotta feel what to do and these runs show you that he's doing what he said well they've converted the texans on third and sixth third and seven the third and seventh all with rushes five first downs overall in this first quarter that's 30 seconds remaining in at second and eight miller the right side for about three more well one of the big reasons why of course you always want to run the football but green bay loves you to start throwing why because it puts more athletes on the field for them they can be more creative that's what dom capers likes to do i mean he'll put his extra defensive backs in there against just your normal offense just so they can fool you move around and make it tough first quarters coming to a close [Applause] scoreless at lambeau field and you're watching the nfl on cbs [Music] the nfl on cbs is sponsored by dodge domestic not domesticated and by fedex helping small businesses simplify e-commerce back to the second quarter a game produced by lance barrow directed by mike arnold and our absolute number one nfl production and technical crew jim nance phil sims and tracy wolfson houston is about to snap it for the 21st time from its own side of the field you see they dominated the first quarter stats the time of possession five first downs to one third and five they never snapped it uh on the green bay side of the field they fumbled on the green bay side of the field but the 21st snap coming from houston territory and it is when we stop short of the first needed five he got four well the bunch again here they come for the blitz and [Applause] you try to pick it up there's a free guide they make it's not only physically picking it up you got to pick out the right guy to go block and that's the hardest thing and it's a fourth and short bill o'brien gonna go forward here go for it right here and i'll tell you what i agree with this decision they stopped green bay's two drives on third and one's a fumble by aaron rodgers going in they need points good opportunity right here of course they failed on short yardage at mexico city against oakland and here's the snap to give the miller and he is completely shut down clinton dicks the first to get there and the packers will take over at midfield well dancho jones on the outside the inside a lot of packers there to make the play texans gamble and it does not pay off the packers third straight drive about to begin at its own 40 or better as they come up with the stop on fourth and one third and short fourth and short today is the hard down to get looks like for these teams but i do not second-guess bill o'brien's decision at all i would have gone for it dear over over overall of course i'm not the coach i like to think i am though sometimes running hard there for about seven tracy i'll get back to you well jim it started out as wet snow now it's really coming down as you can see it is blanketing this field a lot of slipping going on a lot of the players on the texan sideline are changing out their shoes they're putting on different cleats bill o'brien told us they brought several cleats with them just for this opportunity and also keep in mind the wind is starting to pick up as well a little bit tim all right winter wonderland it is the frozen tundra yeah it's a good thing tracy loves the snow she was excited about it today and seven and he's about a yard short of the first and we've got jb and boomer on standby gentlemen detroit looking for a little pad in the north all right jb it's a duel in the dome between stafford and brees so far stafford is winning they're going to be up 10 nothing that's a three-yard one-yard touchdown pass to theo riddick on the day matthew stafford 11-12 118 yards and that touchdown pass 10 nothing lions back to jim nance that would say a lot about the lions that they could go in there and win now third and one as you see they're on top of the division here green bay at third so they've been stopped twice on third and one including a now the fumble make the play boy there to beat him and now we'll they go for it on fourth and one yeah merciless on the outside very good job and just nowhere to go they're blocking they had two full box in there couldn't get it done there's no doubt i think mike mccarthy's gonna go for it here [Applause] i mean you have such an array of plays all the formations last week eight different people in the backfield with the aaron rodgers and always you have aaron rodgers in the shotgun no he's going under center it gives the option of him running handed [Applause] michael's gonna pick up the first down plowing ahead to the houston 37th really good job left tackle lane taylor got the job done number 65. it's not only that did you see how quick they went up and snapped the football he did it fast before houston could dig in caught him off guard just enough to get the first down kristen michael some stories led the seahawks in rushing all season long and shocked a lot of people when they waved them a couple of weeks ago because of the emergence of rookie cj process nelson and joseph rides it down process though gets injured in the very first game when they play without michael the meantime the packers already claimed to pick them up tuesday if you think dr jason bull is trouble wait until you meet his ex-wife michael weatherly and tv's number one new show bull right cool it's new new episode tuesday after ncis only cbs ncis guy of course michael weather was great hey so far we haven't seen aaron rodgers really move around a lot just the one time in the pocket he also hasn't targeted adams to this point there's a second four he's got time montgomery for another first down well even that time it was slow as he moved around being very careful i think just to fill out how that hamstring is but the one thing we know about aaron rodgers we've seen through the years we talked to him about it this week he's an all-weather thrower so not worried about the snow he doesn't worry about rain i said what do you do if the football is wet and slick he goes i just grip it lighter and that's a great thing to do for all young quarterbacks to learn that don't do the opposite that makes it rough and so far he's throwing nothing but spirals short but they're on target and to the right person montgomery lines up in the backfield first down houston 25. we've seen this look a few times with montgomery billed as a wide receiver getting a lot of plays running out of the backfield he's got six with that carry well we said it before didn't we he told us and he goes i want to run between the tackles he says i always wanted to be a running back but coaches said well you're fast go out there be a wide receiver it's kind of funny to see 88 back there being the fullback was cook number 89 along aaron rodgers second and five adams at the bottom of the screen [Applause] he got the pass to nelson who has now four catches and another first down yep beautiful throw on the run they're trying to score in this play a little double move but it's not there the houston defense what they are doing they are playing very conservative with their pass coverage it's dj reader who brings rogers to the ground so if you play conservative you know to me and it's easy again but if you give aaron rodgers to short easy throws he will take him all day because they are great at that short passing game make him hold the football give your defensive line a chance make him throw it down the field goes down they set this one up that's rippowski a good piece of tackling by demps oh let him get away that was awesome really good play fooled me i said oh this is a touchdown but quentin nip dimps [Applause] watch it this defense is all perfect for him gets his arms out head in the right spot in front of the runner and brings brings down ribkowski last time these teams met was four years ago in houston rogers threw six touchdowns three of them to jordy nelson nelson lined up to the left and second and six and rogers by in time goes and it is caught for the touchdown randall cobb with the catch and a snow angel [Applause] well you know aaron rodgers so much faith in his offensive line originally he's going to throw the football to the top of the screen and adams was open but he it was a little closer he says nope i'll just wait and move outside to pocket and see if somebody can uncover and watch this throw across his body i always hear you're not supposed to do that yeah you're not supposed to do it if you can't do it but he can do it he can make all the throws can he yes better than anyone absolutely a really good throw and trusted arm doesn't have to take chance crosby's extra point is good nine yard touchdown pass rogers to randall cobb who has his fourth touchdown of the season all set up by the green bay defense making a fourth and one stop at midfield and the packers are on the board first here in quarter number two that drive included a fourth and one pickup by kristen michael to keep the backers headed to the end zone eventually finding it with randall cobb yep been on that side of the good side of the field for most of the day [Music] with a good drive in slippery conditions with a big run back kind of stolen from his yeah fellow teammate on the return full speed steal i like this in front of alfred blue 30-yard return osweiler and the texans down seven texans first three possessions one play in green bay territory that's it [Applause] and that's when they went for it failed on fourth and one with the green bay 49 a little different attack here five wides [Applause] there's a completion to a wide out for the first time fuller breaks a tackle and he's able to pick up an extra five nearly six yards with that effort broke away from rollins well right now when you see a field like this offensive players always always think it favors them because they know where they're going the defense has to react that's one thing but green bay i know aaron rodgers likes it what'd he say it slows the pass rush down because of the footing gives me more time to throw the football and he's a great bad weather thrower we got to see this houston offense if they can operate with this field being a little slick 48 49. [Applause] he's tripped up right away by guy yeah for no game tracy return to the sideline jim the packers are without another linebacker right now jake ryan in the locker room with an ankle injury he was limited all week with that ankle injury so he remains in there as well as nick perry that's amazing so barry nicked ryan to the locker room martinez inactive they've got joe thomas out there now number 48. how about some good players out of the lineup see if houston can take advantage they're right on him right away that is lowry never giving osweiler a chance dean lowry first year player just i don't know what happens they're not ready here he comes on the outside dwayne brown lets it go [Applause] just yeah it's we've seen that a couple times today where the offensive line has not been on the same page you know you always hear that about the quarterback and receiver well we got two guys blocking one one guy and one we are running three and that time it was lowry lowry the rookie out of northwestern fourth round pick they went so fast and miller could pick up the blitz here's the third and eighteen wide receiver screen then they get some of it back and won't be forced to punt his floor has his second catch well it's it's it's you know you sit here and they say oswald but look what we've seen so far you know no fourth down short yardage pickup cost of possession we're seeing blitz can't pick up the blitz and then they make a mistake on who's going to block a defensive line still on his feet oh and he's got a running leg out to about the 41. and lechler was finally able to bring it to a halt 35-yard boot 24-yard return that's twice now the packers have had good punt returns ran into catrell bryce's teammate and it took off the nfl on cbs is sponsored by duracell the ones you trust are always there beauty from new line cinema in theaters december 16th and by state far talk to an agent today at 800 state farm [Music] oh you know i just hope he's ready for me this year i've been a little disappointed in my christmas gift lately well that's what happens when you're naughty yeah okay able to pick up another six he's running hard he's running hard how about aaron rodgers talking about the snow you know it's we see the good little off-balance stroll how about this look at the rotation on the football then outside the pocket makes a great play one roger said something to us you know people underestimate my athletic ability and i go i wanted to say what people are they but nice start nine of 10 57 yards playing the conditions being smart well after he said that he did admit you know i do play with the chip on my shoulder i've always had a chili yes we didn't know that aaron but he was reacting to the comments bill o'brien had made about uh he's one of the most unique quarterbacks to ever play the games whether ryan had said that's not an open statement second and five and the pass a little too high for adams targeted for the first time today army navy is coming up next saturday on cbs cbs proud to bring you the game that all about guts grit glory bonus coverage at noon eastern on cbs sports network followed by college football today on cbs sports backfield pass a little out of reach for montgomery and now the packers they'll have to bring out jump to punt yep three-man rush little surprise that aaron rodgers is kind of he missed the throw but usually a three-man rush if he doesn't like him if it's not clean he'll just they fake the blitz they get out look at just three guys there no pressure but maybe it's the field whatever he decides to stay there to throw it to ty mcgovern see fuller can do what cobb has done for a good returners return one this year not the fair catch instead at the ten four minutes to go first half that's a 44 yard boot seven nothing green bay monday is tv's best night of comedy kevin can wait man with a plan two broke girls and the big bang theory tomorrow starting at 8 7 central only cbs there you go you want to prove your footing i'm screwing the cleats get some longer ones on there i had a coach used to say men i don't want to see any slipping get cleats to work okay hey coach they sent a keem hunt wide to the right out of the backfield osweiler so far six of nine for 40 yards five rushers pass incomplete as hopkins is still held without a catch to this point you see a lot of that this year routes you know a little too stationary it's just a hitch route on the outside trying to be safe but gunther look where he is right up on him never any separation remember that defensive back is as free as as scared as you are of slipping so you get the opportunity to try to find one deep down the field here's the second and 10. by osweiler it's over the head of braxton miller the rookie out of ohio state the texans lead their division they're averaging under 18 points a game chicago back in 05 tampa 99 of dallas in 96. this is what they average points per game and what their divisions that's an astounding stat really and i'll say this you know getting this houston texans offense two rookie wide receivers out there it's a tough position to break into you need to have experience savvy all those things they don't have it yet third and [Applause] goes on the ten and misses on the throw to braxton miller who was shaken up grabbing his left right shoulder braxton miller x quarterback trying to learn wide receiver looks like a good throw could have had it now he's getting attention down on the field by the medical crew the nfl on cbs is sponsored by kay jewelers for 100 years every kiss begins with k and by bud light make the right call drink responsibly [Music] yes icy conditions here as it continues to snow braxton miller is still down on the field a former two-time big ten most valuable player this gets the full body weight of haha clinton dicks right on top of him would have been a first down catch he should have had it but then as you said all that weight crashing down on the shoulder and collarbone area and we're going to step aside one more time as they continue to attend to braxton miller with 3 48 to go in the second quarter houston will be punting the football from its own 11 here in a moment conditions here slippery not a whole lot of offense to speak of in this first half green bay with 81 total yards of offense houston with 82. well the fans love to see games look at braxton miller i hope i hope it's just maybe the shoulder i'm not just but that was a tough hit but they love to see snow games and this kind of atmosphere but for the skilled people and the footing the throwing the passing all that stuff it does make it tough at times they just rave about miller the kid on the houston football team have high hopes for him as he continues to transition to this position as a wide receiver it's a good point you said it quarterback in college made the transition his last year and you know it's having some success but they're asking to do some stuff that are it's tough we got to have a feel for it you got to learn so much as a wide receiver in the nfl and this houston offense can be complicated for wide receivers through for over 5 000 yards rushed for over 3 000 yards at at ohio state and now trying to make it into the nfl as a wide receiver they took him in the third round this year okay cobb is back he's returned two punts for a total of 44 yards and he has an encouraging word for miller as miller is going to be escorted straight to the locker room so be a big commercial for both sides especially for houston's defense to keep this game to a one you know to one score here because it looks like the packers are going to get good field position [Music] [Applause] houston's defense not giving up much so cobb with the two punt returns the sizeable plus he's caught the game's only touchdown [Applause] why no idea man and then a flag is thrown as evans who decided to be aggressive with it marwyn evans a rookie from utah state 51-yard punt somebody's going to talk to him as he walks to the sidelines during the kick holding number 28 of the return team 10 yard penalty from the end of the kick first down green bay you know rogers lost his first ever december home start back in 08 it was against houston right and he's won now 13 straight since that time in december at home well a lot of things good football teams he's a good quarterback they can play in bad weather he can throw in bad weather and you know that's a nice picture of trent green there right there works at cbs now but i thought that was important to point out well he'll hear about it you know but but then hey good punt the penalty gives us houston's defense a little bit of wiggle room here as far as what they do on the defensive side in this drive against aaron rodgers so all three timeouts for the packers and again greek bay has been held under 90 yards of offense so far another throw over to nelson and they're gonna say he stepped out two yards short of the first aaron rodgers is definitely limping or not moving around he bent over after he threw the football let's see if we can tell does he put too much pressure on the leg same hopping [Music] so he's been very careful i know the field's slippery but i just think he's been careful moving around knowing that hamstring trying to protect it here's the second down two and witkowski runs for the first untouched really for a while [Applause] again rogers suffering that hamstring injury just six days ago the monday night game in philadelphia [Applause] yep he grabbed it they put a big pad on that left hamstring later in that game and didn't practice much this week still see that you see the tape job on the left side of his leg a little more tape on the left ribkowski's run for ten their logins rush of the game [Applause] now he looks over the direction of cobb for the short throw you know you got to go back to ripkowski how many times was this our third packer game this year and aaron rodgers and mike mccarthy both bring his name up every meeting just hey we gotta find ways to getting the football more he deserves it and he's a good runner for being a fullback he can pick up some yards quick scored a rushing touchdown against the eagles last monday night the only packer to rush for a touchdown this year other than aaron rodgers done it three times so two minute warning and the packers lead at seven nothing well let's see why was aaron rodgers hopping around i thought maybe it was his hamstring really planted hard stepped on it but linsley the center put his big foot on top of aaron rodgers left foot so that's why he was hopping on his right two minutes to go second quarter second and seven near midfield and from the gun looking for a third option and got it away just before cushing took him to the ground good coverage down the field one of the things we have seen and you know about this houston's defense they can cover and upset it all week long they got excellent defensive backs so aaron rodgers finds nobody to throw to you can see all three receivers to his right were were covered and that time he took out took off out of the pocket ryan cushing i've seen him do that to a lot of quarterbacks over the years high school college and here in the pros new jersey on the usc and then the first rounder back in 2009 for the texas third and seventh rogers trying to go back to adams and that's the second time again he's thrown at adams and not a catch in the first half they're gonna have to punt [Applause] it's good good no call adams comes across the middle joseph right there with him he once passed an appearance but it's just good coverage by joseph green bay's missed on its last five third downs it was second best in the league for the season coming in bounces around quietly at the 15 and falls silent at the 11. coming up the verizon halftime report jb and all the guys are at the desk and ready to go with all the first half highlights from the one o'clock eastern time set of games coming up the verizon halftime report second straight drive for the texans to begin at their 11. big point here the texans gonna have to be somewhat aggressive come up with a play to at least pick up a first down otherwise green bay three timeouts can use them and get the football back in good position don't think about the packers which hard to believe they've given up points in the last two minutes of the first half in every game this season tough catch it was too by fedorowitz right in front of hyde for a gain of eight well that's his man going against micah hyde fedorwoods is really and just improved as a receiver in his young career third year chuck osweiler says hey look we just see the defense the same way that's why they connect often second and two now with his fourth catch and that one goes for 13. tracy back down to you jim we saw wide receiver braxton miller remain on the field in that last drive for quite a while i think there was concern that besides the shoulder it was a neck injury as he walked off the field towards the locker room he was wiggling his fingers so that's good news but he did go straight to the x-ray room it is a shoulder questionable to return okay tracy keith munfree has come in for him number 12 in a slot to the right and the first down snap from the 32 in the middle again completes it to fedorowitz three straight plays three straight plays three different cover guys on him and three completions that time it was morgan burnett and a timeout called by the texans you know the packers so aggressive in their approach so far here early in the game [Music] boy the doorway it's just a nice big target you love that close to the quarterback that's why tight ends can catch a lot of passes if they have talent but they backed up a little bit gave him some room and brock osweiler took advantage of it bill o'brien brought his brothers in for this game his older brothers jack and tom we had a chance to meet them last night yep he said there's brother well how would you describe him he's intense he's a good storyteller and he always since he was a little boy he wanted to be a coach well he's turned out to be a good one mama mom and dad at home watching this game today and how about his dad yeah they're back in massachusetts watching his dad john was an all ivy league tackle with brown his dad came up here and watched the game at lambeau field and guess who the coach was then in part liberty that's pretty cool second one trouble and they got to him he tried to bounce around away from the heat but could never escape julius peppers who knows how to find a quarterback as good as anyone yep julius peppers the whole time just beat the right tackle and got in the backfield got the second opportunity there was nowhere to go oswald made the decision at the right time to move but they everybody stayed in the rush lanes couldn't get out of there and peppers got the sack and now they'll be a no hurry to snap this football [Applause] with a third and 11 coming up [Applause] again now we'll end it first half the verizon halftime report is coming up with all the scores and highlights seven nothing that is the score and intermission green bay has deferred so we'll receive the third quarter kick and we'll join the verizon halftime report after this message and a word from the local station [Applause] seven nothing green bay getting set for houston to kick the football to the packers to begin the third quarter only 211 total yards of offense by the two teams combined in that first half and follow your favorite team all season long go to itunes.com nfl when your team like houston has been struggling all season to get a spark offensively then you run into conditions like this yeah really tough they've only the last 15 drives that they've had going back to last week no touchdowns two field goals it's um i listened to the halftime and they said it's a work in progress that's an understatement they're really struggling you know i i got a great view of the game here watching and seeing you don't see people open down the field you know brock osweiler's ran the football a few times you know they had one chance near midfield they go for it on fourth well why because the opportunities are so few they got to take some take take advantage of some of those opportunities but by and large their defense did a good job containing aaron rodgers and the packers offense so that's something they got to be proud of and the one touchdown was aaron rodgers to randall cobb early in the second quarter they're the numbers from the first half and you know too i know there's a slippery field to all that but there i am you don't get over a a hamstring injury like aaron rodgers had on monday night and come out here on sunday and be of course we know he's not a hundred percent but just think he's been a little protective of it and it shows maybe even some his decision making being very careful of where he throws the football looking at all those numbers the thing that really stood out the most the longest play of the game for houston was a 13-yard pass play to fedorowitz late in the second quarter and the longest play for the packers in the first half was a 10-yard run by ripkowski as well as a 10 yard catch by cook that's it that's it you know i'll tell you i'll say this about houston when they spread the football or their formations out we saw those fedora with catches right there at the end you're going to get some more space in the middle of the field for him and it makes the defense declare i think they have a harder time blitzing blitzing if you spread the offensive out uh out on the houston side and might see some more of that here in the second half montgomery and janna stand at the goal line for green bay packers trying to get back to 500 on the season i think novak to kick it and he had that successful onside take the game just a little bit of a chance at the end of the game against san diego before the game ended with an intercepted hail mary here's janice [Applause] and runs out of room and runs into alfred blue all right tracy what did you hear at halftime well i spoke with mike mccarthy about aaron rodgers and he said certainly the hamstring the slick field is limiting him but he said it all comes down to first and second effort he said we need to get guys out in space more as for bill o'brien he said the conditions are tough but he said they need to get their offense going and you can tell he was just tired of talking about trying to get this struggling offense going he said he wants to see them throw the ball downfield more jim all right they had only one pass that was down the field it was an overthrow no one was open but again it's hard to execute anything that you think you've set up for all week long the longest play of the game is 13 yards that's starks bad at the line for no gain whitney merciless came from the outside made a great hit since week eight this houston defense of romeo cornell's has been the best rush defense in the league giving up under 60 yards a game on the ground so far they've held green bay at a 34 rushing aggressive defense you look at houston of course we talked about the injuries that the guys are missing but they've held up well without those guys and i think they can try to pressure rogers because i would have faith in these defensive backs covering one on one outside he saw merciless he had a fumble recovery in the first quarter that was the first red zone takeaway of the season for houston and it's merciless again making a play we had just mentioned him with the fumble recovery in the first quarter now he's got the sack well merciless excellent job you talked about his run defense here he comes against david bakhtiari the left tackle well it's just a hand more with the offensive tackle and the defensive end merciless that time and he won and got the sack on aaron rodgers hard to bring good sacks on aaron rodgers his movement the short passing game that time he couldn't get rid of the football too quick let the defense get there that's the first sack of the game for the texans and it makes it third at 19. montgomery underneath hit a couple of times and stopped about eight eight yards short of the first dips who chopped them up gain a tent kenny merciless we saw cushing on the force out one time the defensive backs haven't given them the credit houston's defense [Music] pretty good in this game so far yes they are they have been chomped the punt for the fourth time this is returnable and fuller from the 22 goes wide tries to accelerate gets after about the 36. with a penalty marker on the field and just see they made a good defensive stop they get good field position it's going to be brought back most likely for an illegal block and i'm watching the sideline over on the houston side and they are not happy with that flag that was thrown that was a 48-yard punt with a 16-yard return by will fuller and it looks like it's open for discussion with stereotourist team of officials there is no foul for a block in the back first down houston timeout so texas texans made it known they thought it wasn't a penalty and eventually the officials agreed you see this graphic this is what we alluded to at halftime phil last 15 drives five giveaways two field goals no touchdowns well bill o'brien argued with the officials he won the battle max bulla they were caught on an illegal block on him it was not it was a good pick up of the flag and houston's got good good field position to start this drive and get off that zero you just showed there's the first snap of the second half and it's batted down by the packer defensive front might have been dean lowry who's already had a sack in this game and the picked up flag on the punt return let's show you what happened here they come down slow here comes the block right there just puts his hand out could have been another one but i think that's the one because just the way they were all upset the flag came from behind bulla it tells me but still good no call second and ten miller who has certainly been contained today that's now nine carries for 11 yards trying to get in good third down position the first play fedora fedorwicz was open but lowry knocked the pass down so that kind of put them but the old cliche behind the chains i love that a lot behind the chains but it is third long packers in the first half were aggressive with their looks and blitzes what will they do here third and nine texans confirming the braxton miller with that late first half shoulder injury will not return today and houston finally has a strike that's fuller with the catch for 24. yep really tremendous job in the pocket watch 17 brock osweiler they got like a spot not a spy somebody covering the back but he moved in the pocket found the second receiver for doorways doesn't like it here comes ian cut behind good throw play action and the past of the doraleous for another eight maybe nine as the texans get something going here well you could feel it the stop the sack of aaron rodgers they quiet the crowd that that doesn't give you a little life on the houston sideline what's going to it then you get the break they pick up a flag and they've done a good job taking advantage of that situation by the way for green bay the linebackers jake ryan and nick perry knocked out in the first half they're back out there they've been in on this series that's a big deal two good players one inside nick perry outside and maybe their best pass rusher there's a second two and hillard takes him head on for the first down there's a safety clinton dicks up in there making the tackle [Music] you know now you got a little you got some first downs get the rhythm get the pace going it's that's what you need to do on the offensive side the 24-yard pass play to fuller was the first time houston has converted today on a third down pass tight splits by the wide receivers [Applause] make the miller that is hopkins with his first catch of the game and another first down tight split so what they do you got the corners that stay outside so that gives you a little room to the inside and that's why they were in there tight nice play action fake design play call really good picks up 11. you know it's like you know something in you is a defensive back the alarm goes off and go wait you don't usually line up there so kind of a giveaway that something different is coming [Applause] up first down at the 15. lowry coming in on pass to the end zone just out of reach for fedorowitz lowry almost got to osweiler for a second time today you know you got fedorwitz big tall target lowry pressures osweiler but 87 going down the field a little double move oh man if he had just a beat more that's a throw jim he'd like to throw it high and just behind the receiver he could have turned and caught it but you didn't have a chance to see it well enough because of the pressure by lowry on second down miller manages four out of very little room suafilo comes around the left guard [Music] [Applause] i can hear the hit from up here [Applause] third down texans third down and six from the 11. threatening for the first time in this game they go to grimes and he is going to be stopped short it's close but i don't believe he got there in fact it's going to be just inside of a yard away what will they do here no they're going to go for it they've already been stopped once on fourth and one i know and if they get stopped they're biking second guess that's what they do but i'm just this this is to me it's a no-brainer it's tough sledding tough to get in this position the big thing here is do you have a play that's got some deception to it i like this being in the shotgun short yardage has been tough today with the poor footing and all for each team hopkins shifting around dancing around twice and it ends up being a timeout houston [Applause] might be a good time out [Applause] just for the fact that green bay had everybody up near the line of scrimmage playing run 100 percent [Music] of course if you fail to pick up the first here you've been at at the least you've you've pinned green bay back at the at their own six or seven yard line but you're not giving your chance at least to put points on the board for the first time yep i i i do understand that but you know i'm looking at this and this is not a yard this is a foot well they're earlier fourth and one they ran blue for no game o'brien ready to gamble again yep mccarthy looks on the running back is miller going up top for it going to the end zone and it is pulled down for the touchdown by ryan griffin wow good throw the coverage was outstanding they took away the first receiver they were trying to go to andre hopkins the andre hopkins and they had him covered and griffin gets to enjoy a lambo leap because he found a little cluster of houston fans in that corner then watch the back of the end zone oh man that was just a good second read ryan griffin just pushes off watch 84. just pushes pushes and gets separation and brock osweiler he used all six foot seven of his height to throw the ball over the jumper in front of him nothing's a gimme today novak with the extra point rollins had no chance covering griffin there because of the push 63 drive in ten plays now to tie it well that was a gutsy call was it ever novak's kick is dead center 7-7 houston's first touchdown at 78 minutes and 39 seconds of game action going back to last week [Music] the nfl on cbs is sponsored by southwest yes to low fares with nothing to hide that's transparency amazon prime get free two-day shipping on millions of items and buy the home depot more saving more doing [Music] [Applause] well the cheeseheads see that they've got themselves in quite a little tussle hill with the texans yep 7-7 as the houston offense comes to life here with its first drive of the second half i swear i think it started with that sack of aaron rodgers and it just field position everything and great energy and good execution by the texans and then drive the position that stood up as they picked up the flag on that punt return this is not different let's go on his feet 30 40 running out of room at about the 45. [Applause] gonna be run back of 39 yards and the packers will like will where they'll set up shop in a moment the division standings for each team coming in houston actually because uh it's not lost to division game 3-0 would be at first even with a loss at the end of the day meanwhile green bay though has to be careful detroit's leading by 10 in the third quarter down to new orleans coming into the weekend two games back of the lions and wild card scenarios are not really relevant for either one of these teams it's all about the division that's your first goal win your division that's what they got to do by action looking long looking for adams and the texans had that covered up double coverage in fact boy a one of them back there week 13 continues later today on fox and we'll see the giants and the steelers tonight on nbc carolina seattle espn tomorrow night indianapolis and the jets [Music] well bundled up mike's a guard and mike stahl tell you what we're shooting everything there but uh those cameras got are well protected i'll say that mike agard he's used to these elements he lives right here in the area no no no no travels out of here every week to do our game of the week second attempt that's a gain of one brian cushing in the backfield you know green bay they're just not gonna get in this formation and just run the ball consistently it's been so long since they've done it because the running backs have been hurt their offensive lineman you know you kind of lose an edge a little bit as a run blocker because they have been so reliant on the pass game the quick pass game especially think about all the different things they've tried to do at green bay to salvage the running game with i mentioned earlier the lacy injury and also stark's missing a lot of time they brought it now davis and brought it down kristen michael here that last carry time montgomery out of the backfield 39 they've missed their last six third down third down attempts and this is going to make it now seven as cobb is tackled a couple yards short by boyier who makes it a lot making a lot of plays yeah well look he's making a lot of plays this is nothing new for him he's been playing well ever since he's been in that starting lineup and excellent cover guy mike mccarthy fourth in a good two yards is lined up to go for it now this time i would punt it back him up play for the next drive we'll see if he hard counts them right here timeout houston that's the second timeout already used by the texans in the third quarter somebody's not happy about it of course it's bill o'brien maybe caught him off guard a little bit go back to boyier that's jim you know just said you they have faith in these corners romeo cornell and they've done a good job they've been on these receivers today for the packers tight aaron rodgers 13 and 19 for 85 yards and i know the the the field i know all that from the same drive fast conditions that still have pretty good faith in the houston corners well this is a secondary or a defense that has the last two weeks gave up three touchdown passes to derek carr another three to phillip rivers last week that was the last two games yeah double moves couple really unique plays by the oakland raiders to do it get some of those touchdown passes fourth and two [Applause] are they just going to try to draw them off nope they're going for it indeed rutkowski driving churning and held back pushing adam on one side well there's a spot from the far side one official gives it to him the other one didn't let's see which one gets it [Applause] well what a difference though i'm telling the officials came running in from both sides yeah one had one much far different a far different spot i'd say almost like a yard and that was i think that was dj reader yeah it was number 98 came down there dj reader being schooled by a guy vince wilfork you were talking about that before the game with me jim you know wilfred has been so good to guys like reader and and heath i just watching this i didn't think i didn't think he had it though by the eye when we watched the play it did not look like he got it and he's way short [Applause] same spot on the field where the texans were denied on a fourth down attempt earlier in the game houston takes over on downs game time the nfl on cbs is sponsored by american express open proud supporter of growing businesses and by verizon it's always a great gift on verizon [Music] this past week packers players visiting with students at heritage elementary school talking about fitness and daily exercise here we go first down houston morgan burnett there on elliott jones canal and perry hillard for a couple well fourth and it looked like about two yards aaron rodgers i'm pretty sure he had a pass play on watching he keeps looking to the right and he looks over here and he sees the tight coverage of the corners look how tight they are the live scrimmage so he changes it to a run play that's just my guess i think it's a pretty good guess the defensive line reader in there will fork stop the fourth down run [Applause] it looked like they changed that play a couple of times and had to beat the snap count handed it off to miller just as pennell was there to meet him for a loss of four yeah jeff allen gets beat right inside 79-64 gets in there a couple times we've seen panel in the backfield today too [Applause] now it's a third and 12. miller 13 carries for only 17 yards and they run it again on third and long drives he's picked him up once and he's done it again did that in the first half on a draw just like that they have crossed them up a couple of times on third and longs with the ground game 14 picked up here there we go right guard jeff allen you know gave up a negative run to play before but he made up for it getting a good block he grimes up in there for the first down boy third down runs against a smaller aggressive defense is claude green bay off guard today that was a third at 12. miller returns to the backfield at all today he's got another three nfl fans order your holiday gifts from nflshop.com today and save 25 at the official store of the nfl nfl shop.com well good thing here today you know it takes a while and uh finally it finally hits me it did in the first half i didn't say it but houston third in certain situations instead of dealing with the blitz which they were worried about they've been running the football and they've had success in some big big spots that last run by miller goes for five that's his longest carry second at five dropped by hopkins [Music] well that was a blitz hopkins this is this is why you get this is what you need he's got separation he's going to catch this and it could be lookout you know break a tackle but the football a little pressure but the football you know in the nfl jim you got to put that on the money you got to hit him in stride he's got to catch it full stride and take a simple play and make something special out of it third and five with these conditions i don't know if you'd go 54-yard field goal if you had to no it would be into a little bit of a breeze that's why alert gets it away and hopkins was not open the pressure was on him too osweiler pressure's the word clay matthews unblocked catch it and throw it before you get smashed into the ground so lechler comes back out to punt clay matthews gets the edge right away against chris clark clay matthews who lined up next to brian cushing at usc a walk-on at usc how about that that's just amazing developed into a first round kick this is a guy that punted even way back in the tuck game in a snow storm long ago 34-yard beauty that time down by don jones inside the five by caused by cleats all around the nfl today we showed you the houston side of sampling in the first half clay matthews supporting a non-profit that raises awareness and funds to fight the muscular dystrophy randall cobb the wisconsin children's hospital clinton dicks providing resources that encourage students to be confident and successful role models a little sampling what's going on these players and their charitable foundations first down packers backed up at the two [Applause] unloading it from the end zone just trying to get rid of it as the texans were starting to crash in on him and these hearty wisconsin fans taking it all in today this is just another day at the that's another day at the shop they come here early they stay [Applause] fathers and sons fans that have been prepared for this that's some outfit there we've shown a couple times today i don't think he's moved hey when the texans played that only of the time at lambeau field the conditions you could argue were worse it was three degrees that day back in december of 08 there was no snow texans won the game at the end on a chris brown field goal it's about 30 right now with light snow throughout second and ten and attached by richard rodgers for about nine and so much is made about these teams that come from a warm climate like houston and come up here and that's a big topic of discussion it's written about all week long and they again eight years ago they came up here and won it was three degrees at kickoff yeah well you know if you have the right talent you go no matter what the conditions are you'll get it done we don't make that big of a deal teams from the north going down as hot as could be down south but hey this cold weather almost all the players on houston they'd love it like i said maybe the quarterback would like more ideal conditions [Applause] third and one and the pack is able to pick it up all the time montgomery they had missed on their last seven third down tries you're talking about the second best conversion team in the league but that time they got it and a texan is down they got it and ty montgomery the x wide receiver watching number 88 walks through that little stiff arm there jonathan joseph who is oh down on the field that's bernard mckinney he stiff arms got his hand right on the helmet and that's uh joseph who had that last hit on him well you know we were here many weeks ago when this offense was you know there's a lot of reasons conditions where we saw ty montgomery catching more passes going on the backfield wide receiver a lot of stuff and haven't seen that today much you know this was going to be if you look at the way that leak schedules games out of conference this was going to be jj watts opportunity to return home to wisconsin it won't be another eight years until houston will have a game up here at lambeau field 2024. every four years they play each other but jj j what yeah i art early in the season i'm just thinking jj what simon clowney boy you know those are some this uses kevin johnson yeah i knew i was missing one you put all those guys out there together now every team could do this and say we're missing guys but those are some top end players no you're you're talking you're talking a two-time defensive mvp you're talking about a former overall number one pick i'm not talking about they were out there in that field we'd be talking about hey this defense is arguably the best in the nfl that that kind of talent that's so but you know that's the nfl the defense they have is doing a good job so far who set it down throw completes it to richard rodgers that was a exciting eight yard play in the end well it was just because aaron rodgers the way he threw the football we got a flag i think on the field [Applause] that carried by montgomery for 13 yards came on a third and one the packers had been over three on third and one before that one which is hard to imagine lego block in the back offense number 17 10 yard penalty replay first down they got adams for that yeah tough call it really is i saw it live thought okay good but watch what happens here he comes inside adams hits kareem jackson and you know jackson's actually turning as he's getting hit so a long time for that flag to come out too but by the way charles james has come in for jonathan joseph there's a spot foul so it'll be a first and 13. at the 21. [Applause] all kinds of times and he's able to get four or five yards out of it so i mentioned charles james in for joseph before the game this is charles james uh-huh and what do you say well he's got a uniform on now yeah i think it was his way of saying we don't care we're in lambeau and of course he's in shape that helps if you know but uh we don't care what the elements are we're here to play the game and we're going to get it done second and eight he's gonna need to step up as joseph is missing another snap right here again rodgers has been able to dance around for a while and it's off the hands of adams incomplete still without a catch well you talking about been bragging about these guys just who do you throw the football to there is nothing now the scramble happens happens and they still can't get open davonte adams a shake he's out goes up the sideline jackson right with him the whole way well he's been targeted five times he should have had that one that's tough catch coming back aaron rodgers though moving around being careful receivers not shaking loose he's got third and eight there's a fine catch by cook for the first down pleasant one-on-one with him yep he eddie pleasant covers a tight end just a good little out route by jared cook twice today we've seen him do it big first down for the packers hey we're tied going to the fourth quarter at lambeau field will return after this message and award from your local station you're watching the nfl on cbs [Music] look at the heaters the blowers the cheats territory just get out of the way yeah it's like a bunch of sheep you know and you get a chance to get over in front of the heater to get warm george gods george godsey offensive coordinator with brock osweiler so we start the fourth with a first down green bay and it's own 36 and a tie game at seven completes it to adams able to get away from the texans still on his feet what a tremendous effort by devante adams yeah that was just a lot of will and attitude after the catch but one official says he might have been out back near midfield the ruling on the field is the runner stepped out of bounds at the 47.5 yard line first down green days i don't think so here it comes this way there it is no question oh that's a good eye that's close but it's it's out of bounds and the official was looking you can see him chasing down the sideline right behind him and saw it so crowd's going let's don't get over the fact what a move and what a throw by aaron rodgers to get that throw to devante adams it still goes for 17. adams who's been on a tear especially over a two game stretch where he had 25 receptions of his last month and a half she's got big numbers they run into to about the 43. brought down by merciless you see the first five games they had 15 catches best in the nfl over the last six games [Applause] with 43 grabs it's a different offense you know years ago back when the packers won that super bowl over in rogers it was all downfield throwing now it's a much shorter passing game so you've got to catch the football make somebody miss get those extra yards second down in houston territory rogers dancing tucks it under got the first and safely slides to about the 30. i don't know why he didn't throw it to ty montgomery who's wide open he looked right at him but i guess he wanted something deep down the field to his right in the flat nobody was on him but aaron rodgers sometimes will turn down a short throw just because he expects somebody to open up down the field later he slides on that left leg kind of hobbling a little bit but he's ready to go on a first down snap from the 32. [Applause] shoulder is complete trying to connect with adams again jp and boomer let's get the update atlanta is potent yeah they are and they're coming back into this game devonte freeman one yard touchdown run atlanta fails on the two-point attempt chiefs lead the falcons 27-22 at the start of the fourth quarter back to jim nance all right thank you fellas they went for the two there with 11 and a half to go in the game and failed so five-point margin this is uh it's antonio smith late fell down and hit him in the right at the knee he got up patel had bothered him to hurt him second down [Applause] now wide open wide open for the touchdown it's jordy nelson that's why he takes it extra time i mean that illustrates everything [Applause] and that time [Applause] jordy nelson was in the slot goes down the field this completes a 98-yard drive boy good movement in the pocket as usual and charles james on the slot goes down the field he slips and falls and jordy nelson wide open uncovered for the touchdown and again the secondary without jonathan joseph with the rib injury suffered in the third quarter nelson who beat him for three touchdown catches the last time they played [Music] second touchdown pass of the game for rogers [Applause] that's 98 yards and 12 plays to take the lead at 14-7. second longest drive of roger's career it's the longest of the season for the packers and it's now seven consecutive games he's thrown for at least two touchdowns well let's see jim nance you said wow what a throw i mean it's you know these conditions everything moving to your left those are 45 yards right in there so he is an all-weather thrower gets tripped up that was elliott who prevented him from getting wide [Applause] nothing like a linebacker defensive end being on the kickoff team got him by the shoe grabbed it rogers was watching that tackle he knows this is a big moment big drive they finally drop down get the touchdown [Music] i said the second longest of his career that drive it's the longest he's engineered since the 09 season open contact knock down right away by rollins tonight what does the speaker of the house think he and president-elect donald trump will be able to get done for america find out for paul ryan only on 60 minutes tonight [Music] [Applause] the snow hasn't debated throughout this game it started at sun up and that's a good run for the texans very good it's up tenth super the left guard coming came across watch 71 come across gets a little kick out alfred blue little brian kind of said he's ready to go might of course he wanted to go with lamar miller but was going to give alfred blue his share of the carries blue has been battling a calf injury [Applause] push down [Applause] that was gunter who broke it up ladarius gunter seen a lot of footballs thrown his way this year there's no question coming in wasn't expected to be a starter but all over the coverage that time good position good play [Music] [Applause] [Music] they lost sam shields i think they started they lost him after week one second and ten that's another beautiful run by blue clinton dix rides him down but not until the texans take it to the packers side of the field that's a rush of 25. here comes the guard around almost the same look and nobody is on the edge to help keep the runner inside and that was damaris randall who got looking inside and let blue get out for the big run it's the longest play of the game for houston when you're supposed to be the outside defender if you have to back up to the sideline you you go there [Applause] able to complete it but it's also going to be a big loss guy on was waiting for blue and it was ryan who was all over the quarterback jake ryan went out of the game with that ankle we think but he comes back in 47 just it's in there and boy he's done a great he's really done a good job he watches to see what the line is doing and what the back is doing jim and then he takes off on the blitz and he's timed it up well about three times today it would have been better for blue just to drop it instead it's a catch and a loss of nine second and 19. and a collision at the 44. update time back to jb and boomer you got to be a tough guy to play quarterback in this league watch matthew stafford stand in his pocket and take a hit as he delivers the football the golden take golden tate does the rest he's going to go 66 yards matthew stafford on the day 29 of 432 yards two tds they fell in their two-point attempt they lead 25-13 back to jim nance maybe a crushing loss for the saints who are trying to get back to 500 meantime the packers trying to keep pace trying to stay within range of the lines they come into the weekend two back two games back third and seven away incomplete going to fedorowitz and micah hyde broke it up well that time they put their extra defensive back on fedora what's micah hyde the number one extra defensive back i should say good cover guy can do a little bit of everything seen a lot of those today where the football is on target right and the defender is there to knock it away so no separation once again and hyde would have kept it short of the first year anyway as leckler with a fair catch we're inside nine minutes to go in green bay packers with the football and the lead the nfl on cbs is sponsored by honda hurry in for great deals during happy honda days new york life with the right guidance everyone can be good at life and buy walmart find gifts groceries and more this season [Music] the packers back home for the first time in four weeks trying to get back to six and six on the season they have a streak of seven consecutive years of being in the postseason and it's matched only by new england they need a win here today to keep the playoffs within range they still gotta make up ground even with a win they do have detroit the last week of the season [Applause] they start at the 11th with the handoff to montgomery and the texans are on up at the 14. [Applause] well aaron rodgers talked about the hamstring that's not a 100 percent got his foot stepped on sled kind of felt that hamstring a little bit of course everything he does is going to feel a little then he got fallen on but listen overall the pass protection without question it's not good it's been outstanding [Applause] excellent pass protection almost every game when you watch green bay second and seventh nelson breaks the catch is able to duck under cory moore who was flying in there at the end picks up 21 right here goes around the first they're looking inside caught the corner [Applause] there we go here's the you know watch the tight end come out watch jordy nelson go down the sideline and corey moore does not get over there quick enough to allow that of course he doesn't face many quarterbacks that make that kind of throw nelson now with seven catches for 90 yards and a touchdown for that to piece together good running and patience exhibited there by montgomery for another first down yep they're gonna have to find you know we hear this from the green bay packers a lot they got a lot of people they want to get the football too but this is one guy that needs to see it more and he's proven it every time i watch him when he gets the football that he's a more capable runner than you think he could be since he was a wide receiver in college he started out here as a wide receiver you know there's a match-up on the outside that rogers might be aware of they've lost joseph and they've lost charles james at the top it's 32 robert nelson on devonta adams he's going the other way looking down the field covered up by pleasant yep both sides covered pretty well pleasant safety and really you take it bottom of the screen you know why he wants it because he goes i got a really big tall tight end here and underthroat would have probably been the best throw for cook to make a catch but excellent coverage by pleasant look at a 100-yard receiving game at washington a couple of weeks ago it's a third different team in his career he's had a 100 yard gain they hope he's healthy the remainder of this season they got big plans for him as rogers has to call the timeout osweiler in the texans hoping the defense can give him some time here to do something six and a half to go remember houston has only one timeout left burning those two off in the third quarter and the consecutive playoff seasons i mentioned seven for new england clearly on its way to making it eight consecutive and uh in a romp today over the rams that's not final yet but the packers is the one that's up in limbo right now oh absolutely but we can see why i mean it's just the the situation they're in you know creating plates whatever here the conditions here but yeah the packers are in for struggle they might have to run the table to get to the playoffs they believe they can of course when you watch them especially you feel the momentum of their offense once they get it gets going it just dictates everything for their football team even their defense well they've had backs to the wall so to speak so many times this is not unfamiliar territory for them late in the season even when they won super bowl 45 they came via the sixth seed winning all three playoff games to get to dallas on the road and then knocking out pittsburgh for the title second and ten squirming and fighting for every inch to the 50. and that was nelson who brought him down couple things here the time on the clock you said it one time out left for houston whitney merciless said last night hey as a defense we need to make that stand or that moment that helps us get a victory this would be one right here this is that occasion phil this is it you you've set the stage a field goal you let him get down there and kick a field goal that's but almost in the game [Applause] they need six for the first rockets it's nelson he battled against jackson for the football he came down with it jordy nelson he's the front man for the three guys to the left and the throw and jordy nelson what he does watching the coverage is good but watch his hands just goes up strong hands just overpowers jackson for the catch oh my gosh jackson had his hand in between and still couldn't knock it out how about this game by nelson in these conditions now 118 yards on eight catches [Applause] [Music] [Applause] running to football for the first time this year the backup wide receiver here he comes from the outside or going around richard rodgers gets the block against demps that gives him an extra 10 or 15 yards really good call big moment defense being over overly aggressive and you throw a little reverse in there catches them off guard and it picks up 19. [Applause] montgomery the tail back he's run hard maybe they'll give mccarron another go inside without ski he carries texans with him to the end zone oh my gosh lois man wins right ripkowski got so low that you could not get your pads underneath his to make the tackle well they went earlier in this quarter on a 98-yard drive and now they've completed an 89-yard touchdown drive to open up now a two-score lead [Applause] everybody moving right boy that is some job that was a quick handoff to rakowski second straight week and radkowski the second year fullback out of oklahoma has scored a touchdown [Applause] the native just outside of uh austin texas texas native adds the extra point that's the first rush touchdown at the last seven home games for the packers 14. kratkowski scoring the touchdown rogers with three on the ground this year scores that is the rest of the team that would be two and they both belong to the man who just scored rupkowski [Music] some of the throws by rogers today has really kind of been the difference [Music] [Applause] 20. [Music] well four minutes to go and the texans down two touchdowns and only one timeout [Music] the nfl on cbs is sponsored by kay jewelers for 100 years every kiss begins with k and by subway try the

one that's clinton dix delivering the blow on fuller who somehow manages to hold on clinton dicks morgan burnett big hits really two terrific safeties i mean they're sure tacklers they can cover cover a lot of ground you throw the football up in the air six yard gain clock running three and a half man falls incomplete tipped up in the air by joe thomas we've got an update what are trying to do this ball take away what an update guys atlanta takes a 28-27 lead on an aldrick robinson touchdown they go for two matt ryan throws the intersection interceptions eric berry he returns it for two kansas city takes the lead 29-28 atlanta has to kick off to kansas city well jimmy should have given him more points just for the distance run back to jim nance how about the afc west we saw the broncos do the same thing against the saints to win a game a two-point play the other way that was on a block pat here's a third four osmar somehow got it away griffin fights for the first down give him five yards again texans have only one timeout left they better start moving yep got to move one timeout two minute warning you said it nato jones right there to hit brock osweiler this is who lets the football go hopkins at the top he has only one catch today for 11 yards [Applause] open this drives middle of the field fighting for yardage near the 50 and the packers make the tackle with the 47. green bay just has so many guys that are nimble and can rush to pass her so they can keep their guys fresh they just ran clay matthews back on the field going okay you've had a break you know he's going to throw it can you get to the quarterback [Applause] open again it's griffin we've caught the texans touchdown in the third quarter and a flag in on this play as well pass interference offense number 84 10-yard penalty replay first down well how do you get wide open it's good call ryan griffin 84 going against morgan burnett extended his arms really didn't affect the play much but all the official seasons both arms going out making contact they're going to throw the flag that's the first penalty against the texans since the opening quarter ball back at the 38 and a first at 20. great catch griffin just got flagged for the pass interference and he bounces off a couple of defenders he gets within one of the first excellent throw two by brock osweiler two minute warning rebate leads it 21 to seven you're watching the nfl on cbs coming up the subway post game show jb tony barton boomer coach cower all the scores and highlights that wild one down in atlanta just when it looked like the falcons might pull off the big comeback i had the lead on a touchdown pass went for the two and it went the other way for two and a winner it appears as they're inside two minutes to go and the chiefs have the football and the falcons have no timeouts plus other scores and highlights coming up subway post game show here we got two minutes to go houston has one timeout down two touchdowns osweiler zigzags past the defenders and he has the touchdown his first since october the sixth [Applause] well same thing we saw we saw aaron rodgers throw a football for a big gain to jordy nelson here's the corner here's the safety hopkins goes down the sideline micah hyde just doesn't get wide enough and he comes over overruns it good job by hopkins cutting back inside and keeping the home to the texans alive what a throw what a catch hopkins just his second catch of the game but his first touchdown since the minnesota game back in early october did you just do usain bolt is that what that was or something like that [Applause] 78 yards the texans go with two minutes and 20 seconds extra point is no good novak missed it [Applause] just pushed it to the right looks like he might have slipped [Applause] see if his foot well the plant foot was nice and solid jim it didn't didn't slip he did fall afterwards though more out of disappointment now remember novak successfully delivered an onside kick just last week [Applause] it was the exact same scenario even the same score last week against san diego ending up on the short end of this very very exact same time tally right now at 21-13 well first off yeah bad miss but good drive by the texans to drive down the field to give themselves a chance for this onside kick really good throws by oswald on that last drive [Music] i'll tell you that's pretty impressive four out of eight career that's that's record territory to be 50 percent absolutely i just feel this i would think would help you know the slipping the field the conditions [Music] onside kick dry by houston recovered by the packers devonta adams falls on it that's the new onside kick we're seeing it's really got to be tough to handle and davonte adams watch how it spins the side spin you don't know what kind of bounce it's going to take man good shot of it right there look how it just stays and that ball could have bounced anywhere but nice recovery by adams to welcome the audience just joining us kansas city chiefs come off that thrilling win on sunday night in denver for another thrilling victory this time in atlanta in the most improbable fashion that's the second game this year that's been won by an afc west team on the road with a two-point run back for the margin of victory jim mansfield sends tracy wolfson here and the texans can only stop the clock one time 150 to go aaron rodgers has thrown two touchdowns it's been snowing throughout packers trying to get back to level at six and six on the year that's antonio smith wrapping up right away kristen michael and the subway post game show will be coming up for everybody those of you who have been with us from the start on this one as well as the audience is getting the bonus coverage right now who had been watching that kansas city atlanta game so the packers remaining schedule as the texans have called their last timeout seattle is here next and then a game at chicago minnesota comes to lambeau in week 17 at detroit [Music] well you look at this game the packers did just enough on the offensive side to win this aaron rodgers came down to him making a few outstanding plays to give him some scores for the houston texans hey they got to feel like on the defensive side we did what we could do here they gave up only 21 points it took some spectacular plays by rogers to get those 21. so rogers ready to step in here knowing that the texans cannot stop the clock again michael contact right away again by antonio smith for the second straight play houston again goes to indianapolis next week and the texans have this win streak going inside the division having won their last eight afc south encounters now if indianapolis beats the jets tomorrow you'll have a three-way tie in the afc south between tennessee indianapolis and houston all at six and six assuming that this one's going to stay with green bay about to snap it at third and eight this that division is going to week 17. that's we're going to find out who's going to win it sunday night week 17 because that's the way it looks all the teams so even no matter home or way either either team could win the game so rogers calls timeout as he takes it down as far as he could well let's let's look at some throws from aaron rodgers here today this is just some things that he did how about to move outside the pocket and find him nelson for the touchdown how about that whole shot that gets led to a touchdown another great great throw to jordy nelson however aaron rodgers played today he's going to be better next week because that hamstring is going to feel better he fought through it was tough decision making maybe not as nimble as we usually seem but still put up good numbers and let his team do a victory when we visited with him this week what did he say same thing he had told his teammates before the philadelphia game i feel like we could make a run and win out that was his message yep he does a lot of things he's great to talk to we talked about his athletic ability which everybody underplays and he goes you know and you said it earlier jim you know i play with a little chip on my shoulder so i don't know what it is maybe because he wasn't drafted or went to major college right out of high school could be the draft but whatever he carries around he works the texans bring him down quickly and this can run the clock down to about 12 seconds a really good effort i thought today by the houston texans and go back to what we started the game with bill o'brien they finally made a big play at the end of the game to the andre hopkins but as they go forward to win this division they're just going to have to find ways to score more points that's the story let me talk about this football team even without clowney out there today you know one of their best defensive linemen is still hung in there timeout green bay and now barring some bizarre happenings here on this punt by shum the packers will have their sixth victory and their second straight after four consecutive losses [Applause] [Music] now fuller is back deep he has returned a punt this year for a touchdown he's a speedster out of notre dame you got to kick this football out of bounds i would think or unless you think you could kick it into the end zone without the return and he's headed to the sidelines as prescribed by you with four seconds to go [Applause] green bay meanwhile goes to uh six and six into a tie with the vikings minnesota did beat them in the one matchup they've had this year and detroit's gonna win that game they're down to the last minute new orleans they're up to 15. so it's going to be a two-game lead for the lions over the vikings and the packers i'll tell you what you when aaron rodgers said we got to run the table or run this out they might have to to give themselves a chance to win because detroit lions that was an impressive victory for them down in new orleans we saw them in person thanksgiving day hey they got a quarterback that plays pretty well under pressure matthew stafford and a great kicker of course in the clutch too hopkins to fuller to miller goes all the way back to osweiler osweiler is in trouble getting knocked down in the end zone grimes and he still has the ball in the air to alignment ball squirts out to bump who flings it and flags are down on the field yeah forward level again legal forward pass offense penalty is declined and this is the end of the game ball game over yeah a couple of forward passes is uh never a good idea but the packers prevail here 21 to 13. both teams walk off the field at six and six the green bay game is final the detroit game has two seconds to go they're going to win that game so you might as well advance them in the brackets they'll be at 8-4 and well they need to pick up a game on detroit between now and week 17 because they will be meeting in detroit on january the first so you've got houston and tennessee at six and six indianapolis plays tomorrow night against the jets houston right now has all the tiebreakers with its undefeated record inside the division but the packers have now suddenly put themselves back in position after floundering for a month losing all of those games in a row four in a row well they got a chance i'll say this about the packers like their defense like their style of play and they just got to stay healthy on the offensive side especially at the quarterback position he always gives you a chance to get it done aaron rodgers hey they stalled out for a long period of time today and after a couple big throws the game turned around aaron rodgers and the backers will be hosting seattle next week trying to get back above 500 they win it here today 21 to 13. subway post game show is next for phil and tracy jim nancing so long from green bay and we'll continue with the subway post game show right after this
