and the ball has come off the tee for justin tucker we could see a lot of that over the course of the afternoon here in baltimore the ravens win the toss defer and are choosing to kick into the win here to start the ball game [Music] ravens have won five of their last six to put themselves in position to qualify for the playoffs they were four and five at the bye we're underway from baltimore returnable from the five erickson and he's chucked down at the 21-yard line that's where cincinnati will open up let's bring in the third member of our crew down to the field in evan washburn you broke the news it's cold here in baltimore record low temps in this stadium but players i spoke with said they don't feel like it's gonna have a big effect on this game one reason why the surface here should remain true heated coils underneath the turf to keep this field from freezing the real concern guys and you saw it it's the gusting winds 15 to 25 miles per hour also ball security with this hard football all right evan cincinnati opens up with andy dalton leading this bengals offense they are dead last in the nfl in total offense nice hesitation move on a zigzag from joe mixon and he spilled out across the 30-yard line that's an 11-yard pickup for the rookie andy dalton in the first meeting dan which was back in week one dalton had his problems against baltimore they turned it over five times four picks and one costly fumble a couple of those picks over tipped ball so he's feeling uh better about that performance than you might think ravens have feasted against teams under 500 8-1 against teams with a losing record again the stutter step from mixon and nicely done it's a six yard gain for the rook let's check out the starting offense for cincinnati they've had to shuffle things around with the injuries to oh boy he and smith so bowling is at left tackle westerman will rotate with alex redmond mixon was a question mark and he's in there mixing an injured right ankle but he's been the guy the last two carries eric winston is now shaken up and is limping towards the cincinnati sideline so an area where they do not have a whole lot of depth the veteran winston he's heading off let's take a look at big number 73 you can see mosley will gonna kind of slam into that right ankle trying to make the tackle on mixon kent perkins rookie out of texas is now in there at the right side right tackle spot for cincinnati second and four for the bengals fake it dalton good hands dude zama gets stamped and holds on to it brandon carr with a lick it's a seven yard pickup and a first down for the bengals defensively for the baltimore ravens one of the better units of the nfl this front is huge led by brandon williams terrell suggs another pro bowl for him his seventh he was voted the team mvp and marlon humphrey he's had to act like a veteran quickly the rookie forced into action because of injuries giovanni bernard gets the call bernard had 30 touches last week in that upset over detroit the most he's had not just in the nfl from his mouth in his entire life he's never touched them all 30 times he started playing when he was six years old pop warner he was playing with older kids lying about his age yeah he wasn't really supposed to be in that league and off to bernard his older brother was in it so bernard was allowed to play and he gets hit by tony jefferson that's a seven yard pickup and cincinnati is methodically moving it down the field on this baltimore defense and they're going up tempo right to the line of scrimmage keeping the ravens on their heels as baltimore chooses to substitute along the defensive line ravens are trying to finish in the top 10 in team defense for the fourth consecutive year they interaction number nine in that category cincinnati is 31st in the nfl in washington dalton on a line it's caught by aj green and green is slammed down at the 35 by brandon carr it's a six yard gain through the air well with dalton saw his man-to-man coverage on the outside and this is a sure tackle here by carr or green might have been able to pick up some significant yardage he slides all the way down to his ankles to bring him down cincinnati on the move a second and four at the 35. they've won seven of the last 11 meetings between these two teams baltimore has not swept the bengal since 2011. second down running play the speed joe mixon [Applause] crosses the 20-yard line and he's got a first down for the bengals mixon has looked spry 18 yards on the rip let's check out ken perkins the rookie right tackle here as this is exactly where they want to run the ball good kick out block there and then the speed of nixon certainly looks like he's over that sprained ankle from last week giovanni bernard back in there new set of downs for cincinnati fake it looking incomplete with a flag thrown aj green the intended target and a flag down at the one brandon carr in coverage mass interference defense number 24 the ball will be placed at the spot of the foul automatic first down our referee is ron torbert look at the right hand twisting green as he's trying to adjust to this ball the official right on the spot 16-yard penalty down to the one-yard line and the way the bengals are running the ball this first drive i think baltimore can stop him here the bengals are making it look easy it's a first and goal for cincinnati play fake dalton back in the end zone hauled in for the touchdown tyler croft strong early statement by cincinnati yeah beautiful throw by dalton at six foot six croft goes up for his sixth catch for a touchdown this season and he's going to beat the inside linebacker there correa and again the ball placement up nice and high for a guy 6-6 well because of the injury to tyler eifert this year back surgery tyler croft has seen more chances than he had in his previous two years combined they never even got to third down on that tribe dead that's how easy it was for cincinnati bullock curves it through eight plays 78 yards joe flacco on the offense they haven't been on the field yet they just watched the cincinnati offense bring it down field for the score dalton the floater to put the bengals up 7-0 [Applause] this is a cincinnati offense that has averaged 17.3 points per game 28 in the nfl in scoring they did not score in the first meeting against baltimore they were shut out 20 to nothing and on their first drive here in week 17 they put a touchdown on the board yeah they gained 47 yards on the ground another 14 through the air for dalton he was a perfect three for three in the big play the pass interference that brought the ball down to the one yard line but uh this crowd is shocked those that decided to come out on this frigid day a lot of empty seats here at m t bank stadium that's been a theme this season for the baltimore ravens at home this is normally one of the best home field advantages in the nfl bullock kicks it off by chris moore and then morris stood up shy of the 25. [Applause] all right time for an nfl today update they're going to be busy in new york let's check in with boomers isaac yeah i'm going to be busy all right touchdowns flying all over the place how about tyrod taylor to nick o'leary seven plays 72 yards this is the first drive of the game for the buffalo bills they take a seven nothing lead over the home dolphins back to you ryan qb to tight end combination boomer in that one just like we've got here the buffalo bills surely rooting for the six of the mingles in this one handoff it is again going up the middle and a gain of four yards for alex collins joe flacco just not making mistakes you look over the last six games dan that's been the positive sign for the baltimore offense and it's paid off in their results he's had solid protection number one a great touchdown interception differential and a solid percentage this last four must win games that he feels has prepared the ravens for the postseason another handoff for collins collins he's got a crease the zigzag move by collins to the 45. he wasn't even on the active roster when these two teams met in week one he was on the practice squad it's a 16-yard gain for collins yeah working off the left side getting a good block here by max williams number 87 the tight end and down the field ronnie stanley showing his athleticism from left tackle number 79 [Applause] so now 84 yards away from 1 000 for the season fake it flacco drop ball buck allen could not haul it in incomplete let's check out the offense for baltimore improving offense as the season has gone on and a big reason the offensive line solidified austin howard was a question mark in this one with a knee injury but he's in there no jeremy macklin once again macklin forced to sit out with left knee trouble so chris moore gets an opportunity for the first unit second and ten for baltimore [Applause] allen remains in the backfield it's been the one-two punch of collins and allen during this stretch they sell the fake flacco throwing on the move incomplete mike wallace the veteran the intended receiver could not haul it in this is two straight throws that flacco has thrown low mcallen had a tough attempt on the first play and now this one watch how low this comes into mike wallace a cold day like today you can see flacco he's got wallace in his sights just delivered a four pass in stride catches me with a flag down short of the first down caught by wallets penalty marker was thrown just as wallace brought it in trey kirkpatrick gonna get wallace for pass interference iron he pushed off at the top of that route well for cincinnati turn it down absolutely bring a fourth down best interference offense number 86 walking down field that penalty has been declined the result of the play is fourth down well they call nick boyle on it yeah my apologies to mike wallace he got separation legally but boyle with a blocked downfield where the ball was in the air still a fairly quiet drive after the back-to-back collins runs and sam cook who's averaging 45-yard to kick pointing to erickson erickson moves forward fair catch called for just across the 15-yard line that's where cincinnati will have it after the 36-yard boot nine-minute mark of the first now bangles up seven to nothing on baltimore game time temperature 19 degrees with the wind feels right around 10 degrees inside m t bank stadium swing pass puck by bernard and giovanni bernard working that sideline good enough for a first down as he crossed the 25 owasso will get credit for the tackle talking to offense coordinator bill laser he stressed to me told andy to take what the defense gives you don't force the ball down the field just take some of these short passes right now he's four for four for 25 yards and another first down [Music] fake it fires down field and nobody home aj green was trying to break free along the sideline but brandon carr was there now good drive for joe mixon on the opening drive three carries average at 11 yards per carry that will set up the one yard play action pass after the fake to mix into cross to the back of the end zone 142 rushing yards last week against detroit finally got the running game in gear it's a gift to bernard giovanni bernard with another strong run for cincinnati and they're running left behind clint bowling who's normally the left guard but because of injury has moved out to left tackle and a couple of youngsters westerman and redmond doing a good job rotating and left guard last week and we'll see that again today eric winston is back in at the right tackle for cincinnati kent perkins had replaced him bernard sets up as a receiver shotgun for dalton on a third and fourth dalton looks and it's incomplete he tried to squeeze one in to tyler croft who caught the touchdown of the first possession and cincinnati will punt the baltimore defense holds yeah great play by cj mosley with his coverage on the tight end ball thrown low and mosley right there don't think croft would have got the first down if he had made that catch kevin huber is averaging 47 yards per punt return man is campanero at the 26 for baltimore he's averaging 11.9 yards per turn huber left-footed punter [Applause] baltimore will take over after the 39-yard kick by hubert joe flacco and the baltimore offense back on the field baltimore ravens wild card scenarios when and they're in or tennessee lost to jacksonville buffalo loss at miami jacksonville tennessee scoreless bills with a 7-nothing lead over the dolphins ravens have it first and ten at their own 35 collins in the backfield [Applause] joe flacco 112 straight passes without a pick longest active streak and collins gets the call nothing there george i loca leading the charge for cincinnati it's a loss of one on the play yeah iloka the strong safety playing close to the line of scrimmage like an extra linebacker here left side of the screen 43 sneaks up here fights off the block of the tight end boyle and drops collins for a one yard loss [Music] danny woodhead is in woodhead was injured in that week one victory over cincinnati was placed on ir you've been back in the fold for baltimore woodhead looking for an opening stacked up gain of three for wood end nfl today update send it to new york jb and boomer how surprising is this camaro kid how much fun is he having look at this little hesitation right there that's like a change up it looks like the bucks cover guys all forgot that they had to actually cover they thought that he was going to take a d this is alvin kamara 106 yard kickoff return that's a saints franchise record they tie the score with the bucks back to you ayan and dan he's a game changer what a season he's put together flacco deep shot looking for wallace knocked away williams ranging over and he just gave the kimbe mutombo wag to the crowd i think he had a shot at making this interception but he wanted to make sure that wallace didn't catch it you can see william jackson with good coverage there and williams with the swat away while just slightly underthrown by flacco again throwing against the wind here in the first quarter and baltimore will punt once again with sam cook too deep erickson at the 16th sailing kick back pedals to the 12. and erickson is out of bounds as he crossed the 20-yard line a 51-yard punt 10-yard return first quarter action continues here in baltimore today the 50th anniversary of the ice bowl 67 nfl championship the packers and the cowboys temperature at kickoff was 13 below zero the average wind chill dropped it to 48 below packers won that game 21-17 we're not quite at that level today it's cold not ice bowl cold what a classic game that was packers and cowboys jerry kramer with the key block for bart starr the still shots tell the story drop ball by brandon lafell normally reliable in those spots it's second and ten for cincinnati bengals with a seven nothing lead on baltimore 608 to play in this opening quarter there's a good pass by andy dalton leading [Applause] the fell right up the field because this goes right through his hands because he was more concerned with the run [Applause] just short of the 29. owasso one of those young linebackers making the stop we asked cj mosley he's a four-year guy so not a veteran necessarily but mosley has become the leader of that young group with owasso and judon and mosley said they ask a lot of questions they're self-starters they've matured a lot both are in year two of their nfl careers play selection seven running play seven passes for cincinnati they face a third and three dalton hooks a pass and it's on time to tyler boyd boyd has not put up the numbers that he had a year ago in his rookie season but dalton said very talented and knows how to get open yeah and as a slot receiver he showed this last year which is unusual for a first year player to have the ability to make the catch and make the right breaks over the middle out of the slot dan five completions for dalton to five different receivers under five minutes to go here in the opening quarter hey go right here dalton will make an adjustment play clock is down to two down to one and thought we'll use a timeout we'll be back in 30 seconds after this from fidelity investments cincinnati had 364 yards of offense last week in that 26-17 win over detroit and allowed just 276 against the lion team that was trying to stay in the playoff chase it's a give to nixon turns the corner and nixon lowers the shoulder and he's down at the 44-yard line but he liked that contact too didn't he and of course right in front of his own team on the sidelines there nixon off to a great start five carries 46 yards they mark them down to the 43. last week had three carries for 12 yards injured that right ankle he had missed the previous two games with a concussion week one against the baltimore defense eight carries for nine yards for joe mixon shotgun for dalton dalton puts it upstairs it's caught along the sideline but out of bounds aj green matched up with the rookie from alabama marlon humphrey good concentration by aj green but humphrey kind of pushes him to the sidelines here left foot's in right foot out good call by the officials over his last six games against baltimore greene has gone for 678 yards and six touchdowns green is on the sideline for this third and five dalton cut by bernard and he's buried bernard had nowhere to go after the catch cj mosley sniffed it out it's a loss of five and the pro bowler makes the play on the swing pass [Applause] aj green limping after that last uh pass in completion but look at the play by mosley from his middle linebacker spot he talked about how he's been tutoring the youngsters said it wasn't very long ago when he was the guy that was with all the questions he went from learning to leading kevin huber the puck campanero from the 22. runs into a crowd and gets walloped along the sideline the concern right now for cincinnati is aj green he brought that ball in along the sideline but it was out of bounds and then as he made his way towards the cincinnati bench area the limp became more noticeable let's check in with evan washburn well guys quickly here it's the right foot that's the area of concern he has made his way over to the bench he's working with athletic trainers currently standing on that foot able to put weight on it but is in some clear discomfort they're working on the flexibility and flexion of it as we get more we'll let you know green over a thousand yards for the sixth time in the seven years flat out 20 a time dumps it off for alex collins collins hit just before the 40-yard line by hardy nickerson and vincent ray in collaboration it's a seven-yard pickup on the catch and run they're trying to speed things up get some up tempo offense going right to the line of scrimmage second and three flacco through the hands of collins [Applause] nfl today update let's send it to new york jb and boomer camaro more than doing his part he's at it again this time a seven yard cut back run they take the lead 14-7 over the bucks remember iron if they win and the rams lose who are losing right now to san francisco 10 nothing they will flip-flop in the seatings in the nfc the saints will be number three and the rams number four back to you guys in baltimore all right guys thanks very much flacco throwing dropped would have been a first down for wallace incomplete baltimore will punt and we've seen this a couple of times now for baltimore in the first quarter now what it looks like is that the cold weather may be affecting the hands of the receivers because these balls are not that far off target but you can see the ball goes right through the hands right off the wrist of wallace there and we've seen a number of drop passes here in the first half wallace has upped his numbers in recent weeks 47 catches 708 yards three touchdowns this season for wallace crook the punt hurricane moves forward from the 22 flat down as erickson put a spin on to the 26-yard line 39-yard punt but the return was just four yards chuck clark on special teams makes the play jerry rossberg long time special teams coach and the associate head coach in his 10th year with the organization during the return illegal block in the back number 52 of the return team 10-yard penalty from the spot of the foul cincinnati's ball for south brandon bell called on the penalty well earlier this month andy dalton and his wife jj hosted 12 families as part of the holiday hearts program families enjoyed a holiday themed evening including dinner treat-making and games each family also received gifts including a christmas tree great idea during the holidays andy dalton and his family heavily involved in the community in cincinnati six out of ten fort dalton and the touchdown pass to tyler crawford aj green is out there for the bengals and he sets up in the slot shotgun for dalton keep it on the ground for mixing joe mixon continues to find openings and it's a five-yard gain on the acceleration hit by cj mosley of baltimore we're down to 222 remaining in the first quarter and again the bengals dictating the tempo here in the first quarter rare to see this on the road but this crowd really not giving much resistance to the cadence of dalton where his ability to change plays second five bernard swallowed up by brandon williams nfl today update back to new york jb and boomer the ions the chargers drew this up check this out melvin gordon runs 14 yards he fumbles it into the air right into the hands of keenan allen he takes it the rest of the way for a fumble recovery touchdown for the chargers they're on the board first versus the raiders seven nothing back to you guys in baltimore that's when you know things are going right and for the chargers an opportunity potentially to be a playoff team if they get some help included in that equation is right here in baltimore the ravens of the bengal cincinnati with a 7-0 lead third and six for dalton dalton connects with tyler boyd it's a first down that quiets the crowd and they'll move the chains working against maurice kennedy another young player forced into action because of injury well what you're seeing out of dalton is good rhythm getting back in the pocket setting his feet and getting rid of the ball on time that time to boyd for the first down baltimore lost jimmy smith torn achilles dalton default aj green dalton drops it in the bucket clean catch for green 24 yards well he dropped it in the bucket is right that left foot is out of bounds though harbaugh's going to throw the red flag right at the 50-yard line this one's going to come back good job again by humphrey though forcing green so close to the sideline that when he makes the catch he cannot come down in bounds baltimore is challenging the ruling in the field of the completed catch will review the play cincinnati tried to rush up to the line and get this snap but this one's going to be an open and shut case that's a real good job by the coaching staff up in the press box to see the replay as instantly as we did and get the word down to harbaugh to get that red flag out and challenge this good teamwork by the coaches each stadium the speed is different in how quickly game operations gets the replays up on the board here it was quick the fans reacted as cincinnati got to the line you had already heard the reaction from this crowd when they saw the replay harbaugh tossed the red flag and this one should be a quickie call on the field was a clean catch 24-yard completion and this is what the only negative last week for the bengal offense was in their inability to get the ball deep down the field to aj green or in the seams to the tight ends croft and uzama they had eight chances and missed all eight of them now they're over two here in the first half to play the ruling on the field this change the receiver got one foot down inbounds and one out of bounds it's an incomplete pass but if we sit at his ball second and ten on the 26 yard line baltimore is not charged with their timeout they have two challenges remaining great coverage by the rookie marlon humphrey well when we asked john harbaugh what stood out about this year's group he said the veteran leadership both by example and vocally it's rubbed off on the younger guys players like marlon humphrey they don't want to let the veterans down that's a strong dynamic especially when you hit these pivotal games late in the season week 17 it's there for baltimore for the taking get the win you're in the playoffs one minute eight seconds please 108 on the game plot they're gonna add eight seconds to the game clock 108 to play in this first quarter and the other thing for humphrey is he didn't start right away because jimmy smith was there but he really was able to observe smith and see you know how it's done from one of the great ones and really not starting benefited he's playing very well we asked weddle about humphrey he said he's a gamer he's humble he wants to be coached he's got a load of talent second and ten running play for nixon and this time baltimore was ready for him brought down after the gain of three by judon and henry nfl today update jb and boomer tennessee explosion it's mariota to henry it's like bouts to muncie how about this derrick henry is going to take it 66 yards right down the numbers hard yards have been hard to come by in this game but this is the biggest play of the game thus far extra point was blocked titans take a lead six nothing back to you guys in baltimore iron and dam nice heisman connection there for the tennessee titans yeah go ducks you gotta get one in per game go maybe more later quota third and seven dalton forced into a bad throw he had to rush it as levine was blitzing and cincinnati will punt well levine has three sacks on the year blitzing out of the safety spot here he is number 41. he's going to come clean right up the middle on dalton he was forced to throw early and off target cincinnati comes into action the lowest time of possession of the nfl that has not been the case in this first quarter they've had the football for nearly 11 of the minutes hubert won't even touch it that ball rolls out of bounds with 12 ticks of the clock remaining [Applause] so for the baltimore ravens you win and you don't have to worry you lose and then some other things have to come into play tennessee has got the lead on jacksonville buffalo has the advantage on miami so those games are not going the way that baltimore would like right now but i don't think harbaugh and the ravens are concerned about it they just want to take care of business and move on to 2018 with a playoff berth at 10 and six and often collins gets one tackler and collins will pick up a yard on that effort [Applause] working the perimeter glasgow the rookie from michigan makes the stop end of the first quarter 7-0 cincinnati leading baltimore will come back to maryland after these messages listen to the nfl on cbs first quarter numbers here in baltimore cincinnati ran it down detroit's throat a week ago it seems to be the same game plan here against this ravens defense nine first downs in the first quarter baltimore had just won a couple of three and out possessions as well so cincinnati defensively and offensively dominating that first quarter second to nine for the ravens to open up the second quarter flacco they handle the rush soft cross by woodhead and hit immediately after picking up four yards ray and evans combined well the raven's success can be traced to an nfl leading plus 17 turnover differential they've had their ups and downs this year 37 point loss for the jaguars in london that 40-point win against miami in week eight and they've won five of six after the buy to put themselves in this position and the inside track to the wild card spot timeout taken [Applause] [Music] the bengals have one [Music] timeout left we'll be back in 30 seconds after this from t-mobile third and five for baltimore just underway in the second flacco steps up flacco throwing on the move flicks it downfield knocked away play made by william jackson who continues to play at a high level in his match-up with mike wallace now wallace got behind jackson here down the sidelines but watch the catch-up speed by jackson ball hanging up again just a touch under thrown or this would have been a baltimore touchdown four possessions for baltimore fourth punt for sam cook alex erickson standing at the 18-yard line erickson fair catch called for and he's got it just short of the 14. it's a 47-yard kick seven-nothing lead for cincinnati and they have relied on the running skills of jill mixing well he came into the game averaging 3.3 yards per carry but so far seven carries 54 yards that long one there of 17 that's showing good patience and power for the bengals in that first quarter nixon the team's leading rusher this season they lost jeremy hill to an ankle injury on ir looked like mixon was going to be the guy marvin lewis just loves his spirit the energy that he brings he doesn't want mixon to ever lose that he told them do not fall into bad habits what you're doing is correct play action dalton has plenty of time dalton out of the pocket looking downfield dalton stops and throws it away not gonna take any chances everybody was covered second and ten for cincinnati well he wanted to go deep down the field and you can see the coverage by the the ravens had crossing routes down here but here's the outlet receiver that he misses after the fake to mixon dalton rolls away from mixon and here he is wide open here but impossible for dalton to see him as he's chased to the sideline well the timing was thrown off as nixon tripped dean p's defense trying to ratchet up the pressure mixon gets knocked on the side after the four and a half yard game and mixon will head to the sideline eric weddle the pro bowler makes the stop for baltimore and really the bengals aren't picky where they're running the ball they're running it inside outside a couple of delay type of runs right now just dominated on the ground against a real good run defense of dean pease they only averaged giving up 108 yards per game on the ground and already 77 yards gained by the bengals this is a third and five for cincinnati dalton throw nearly intercepted mosley tried to get under it as it bounced off bernard and it's fourth down now finally the ravens are getting a better pass rush that's back-to-back pass plays for the bengals that dalton has had to move holding offense number 62. that penalty has been declined his order will play his fourth down that's the first year player alex redmond alternating at left guard here he's gonna reach out and just grab zadaria smith that ball in the air for a long time dalton had started hot four for four since that time just three out of 11 and better pass pressure by the ravens eighth punt that we've had in this first half combined kevin huber kicking to campanero [Applause] he's up there for campanero catches at the 40. and he's out of bounds out near midfield for baltimore 41-yard punt six yard return flacco and the ravens still trying to get on the board at home it's been a punt fest for the baltimore ravens in this first half first four possessions all resulting in punts but the ravens open up at the 47-yard line it's a give to collins collins can't break through that wave jordan willis leads it for cincinnati it's a one-yard pickup and for alex collins he gets cut by seattle he saw baltimore as a great opportunity saw it as a second chance tommy hammock is the running back coach for the ravens and hammock actually recruited him at wisconsin now collins ended up going to arkansas but he felt very comfortable with panic in that relationship there was a familiarity it's been a great fit flacco throws but he tried to lead collins too far offline and it's third and nine trey kirkpatrick was there for cincinnati you always hear about players playing with a chip on their shoulder and a lot of guys have different motivation but uh john harbaugh said that the chip on outs colin scholler is a positive one because he does want to make an impression here in baltimore that's not getting cut to make you play harder fifth round pick of seattle thought he was part of the solution there he was surprised when he got caught flacco deep there was some separation incomplete mike wallace again the intended target [Applause] kirk patrick makes the play defensively for cincinnati well again wallace has to wait for the ball to come down and kirkpatrick can catch up to it [Applause] at one point wallace was three yards beyond kirkpatrick but the ball again underthrown by flacco that's three times here in the first half as flacco now 3 out of 11 for only 17 yards and a couple it could have been scores four straight three and outs for the baltimore offense high punt handled by erickson and he is out of bounds cincinnati will get the football back with a seven nothing lead here in baltimore [Music] baltimore icons gianna unites cal ripken michael phelps ray lewis full moon second quarter action continues getting out of trouble is joe mixon flag down mixon lost the ball at the end of the play baltimore's got it nobody has forced more turnovers than this baltimore defense eric weddle with the recovery this penalty is a quad result of the play this is 21 times now they've forced a fumble they've recovered 12 of them and for weddle this is his third mosley made the hit on the strip mixon loses it weddle is there to jump on it for baltimore it was a penalty looked like he was going to be holding against the bengals so that good run would have been called back anyway but uh mixing with his third fumble of the season plus 18 turnover differential for the baltimore dia defense that was once run by marvin lewis six years won a super bowl with that group to the ravens look at this opportunity they open up the drive with the cincinnati 34. fake it flacco drop ball alex collins it's happening over and over again for the baltimore offense now defensively the bengals are gonna they're thinking about flacco going deep so they drop into a zone here and force him to come back down to collins and collins just flat drops this ball perfectly thrown by flacco with another drop pass for harbaugh's boys flacco is now three of 12 for just 17 yards second and 10 1204 mark of the second quarter ocean man is chris moore running play alex collins accelerates hit by hardy nickerson it's a six yard gain we check in with evan washburn well guys we've seen all these drops and this is something that came up when we spoke with john harbaugh about ball security and this weather this football is as hard as a rock i mentioned it off the top he pointed to the fact that you have to see it in you have to take that extra step to require those fundamentals in this game and that's a lapse right now for baltimore over here and maybe we see more of danny woodhead with that in mind short-handed receiver woodhead is going to set up out wide baltimore's oh of five on third downs five drop passes today franco packs the ball throws and it's poked away evans the rookie out of oklahoma and you're right he was trying to get the ball to woodhead on a slant route but look at the layout here by number 50. wood had had a step on the corner but a tremendous reaction by the rookie jordan evans so baltimore will settle for a justin tucker field goal attempt marty morningweg's offense couldn't convert on third down this is a yarder for tucker who has made 17 consecutive field goals make it 18 in a row nobody does it better than tucker baltimore on the board it's 7-3 cincinnati we're in the second quarter back to m t bank stadium after this [Music] over the last five years nobody's made more field goals than justin tucker that's 201 and the last one from 47 yards away he'll kick it off for baltimore deep man is alex erickson for cincinnati and it's coming out to the 25 yard line maybe this 4 25 start throws off your routine a bit dan justin tucker before the game well you got to get it done and uh the band was out there well that's a penalty i believe that there's movement well they have too many band members on the field certainly but uh 90 success rate because he sticks to his routine regardless of what obstacles may be presented 7-3 cincinnati 11 13 to play in this first half a baltimore win and they're in the playoffs it's that simple on first down dalton gets rid of it and it's caught hottest game for joe mixon of one yard cj mosley there for baltimore but again pressure on dalton had to come down to nixon right away because he was forced out of the pocket this uh raven defense starting to pick things up and cincinnati picking things up on offense up tempo here for dalton waiting not much developed there for mixing he'll grind out a yard terrell subs the pro bowler makes the tackle for baltimore and it's third and long for cincinnati now you can see the momentum has swung now toward baltimore after that mix and fumble and the subsequent field goal by tucker crowds back into it is that i think that's fake for a young third green the motion man just one catch for six yards dalton check it down giovanni bernard could not break away it's a two-yard pickup through the air matthew judon among those making sure that bernard didn't get anywhere near the stick now the ravens have shut down the run and they've been pressured now on dalton bengals looked like a different offense here in the second quarter after they dominated that first quarter kevin huber will punt it and campanero the return man at the 26 for the ravens we told you about the plus minus differential ravens also they've been very good in holding on to the football they've only turned it over 16 times the franchise lowest 16 set back in 2012. the super bowl year campanero is out of bounds at the 31 39 yard punt ravens are down 7-3 but they've got the football with 9 14 to go in the second quarter well these are not good numbers on either side and the conditions certainly playing a role drop passes for the baltimore ravens dalton has tried to take a couple of deep shots aj green out of bounds and and flacco's been a little bit off target especially on a deep ball where he looked like he had mike wallace a couple of times but underthrown balls cost the ravens ravens have posted four straight home wins under harbaugh they are 59 and 20 at home flacco a dying quail it's incomplete the ball was hit as dunlap got in there and nickerson almost had an interception right into his chest watch number 96. there's dunlop but he does this so often good pressure on the quarterback he's got six and a half sacks but he also has defended six passes at six foot six injured raven is chris moore and moore is up and limping noticeably and that is huge for baltimore well no jeremy macklin rashad perriman is a healthy scratch for the ravens there are not a whole lot of options quincy adeboyejo was brought up from the practice squad [Applause] rookie out of ole miss and adeboyejo will see his first nfl action and off the column stops cuts and tackled by jordan willis two yard pickup for collins baltimore has not been able to establish the run consistently collins had the one strong run for 16 yards but that's about it and on that play that dunlop made on flacco flacco wanted to go deep again but the pressure was just in time to cause the incompletion on third down flacco was one out of six the ravens yet to convert pushed out of the pocket flacco pump and throw [Applause] incomplete and it's fourth down again pressure from dunlap dunlap and geno atkins the best interior defensive lineman right in front of vinnie ray here watch number 97 with the bull rush forcing flacco out of the pocket and their dunlap is waiting for him to cause that ball to sail out of bounds the sixth punt of the day for sam cook erickson goes back to the 18 and takes a pop along the sideline steven johnson with the hit and erickson being checked on after the nine yard return erickson was injured last week as well on a return tonight it is a special edition of 60 minutes about people who are making a difference in america that's tonight on 60 minutes only cbs well erickson helmet is off and in some obvious pain the bengals have the football at the 28-yard line they've got a 7-3 lead on the baltimore ravens in what many believe will be the final game for marvin lewis as the head coach of the bengals handoff to bernard runs into a crowd keeps the legs churning and carries it to the 32 picks up four yards on the play we asked marvin about the story circulating and his answer to us was fairly telling he said it's unfortunate that story got out about my future you deal with it and in his mind it's really been a story since may didn't get the contract extension you wish it wasn't that way that's what marvin said in our meetings but this is the reality right now moving forward for cincinnati lewis has been there 15 years dalton throws it into the ground bernard in the general vicinity and now it's third and six i think the biggest problem though is the timing before that minneapolis minnesota game and the uh the vikings just really took it to the bengals right away the players all in the locker room saw on social media what the story was with marvin that obviously was unfortunate timing there the legacy for marvin lewis in cincinnati he brought relevance to the team the five straight playoff appearance they were all of a sudden competing in the afc north which wasn't the case prior to his arrival play clock winding down and dalton has to use the timeout the flip side of that when they made the playoffs they didn't do anything with it in those appearances 0 and 7 in the postseason it's a franchise record for years as head coach for marvin lewis 15 seasons he finished 500 or better in 10 of those years four afc north titles during his tenure and as mentioned the offer in the postseason second longest tenured coach in the nfl behind bill belichick six years with baltimore from 96 to 2001 including the super bowl year had that one year in washington as defensive coordinator before he got the head job with cincinnati third and six bengals are out of timeouts we have 7 28 to play in this first half motion man is lafell dalton rifles to lafell for a first down down to the 45 13-yard hookup first catch of the day for brandon lafell you can see again the rhythm and the eyeballs going right to lafell that ball bounces off his left shoulder pad into his hands this is a cincinnati team that's won just four road games the last two seasons big game for giovanni bernard kicking it into another gear as he crossed the 35 chased down by tony jefferson 21 yards on the run by bernard well here's clint bowling normally the left guard but he's going to get the corner here with a good block and giovanni bernard with the speed out run mosley down the sidelines and all of a sudden cincinnati's in business in baltimore territory inside the 35 it's bernard again brings the pile with him to the 30 for a four yard pickup brandon williams and zadaria smith there to make the play you talked about his 30 touches last week against detroit 23 carries on the ground for 116 another seven catches for 52 yards and showing power that time at five foot nine he goes low and he's got strong legs to push the file shake it floater to cross corporate to tackle tyler crock bang down at the 10. missed tackles from baltimore awasso 19 yards for cincinnati well when you run the ball well play action always seems to work doesn't it he rips the ball back away from mixon and how about the adjustment that for the catch and then the move inside of owasso takes it to the 10-yard line first and goal for cincinnati hand-off to nixon dixon takes a hit at the seven yard line for mosley and subs three-yard pickup we're seeing this more and more out of running backs around the league patience salah le'veon bell of the steelers that time just picking his way along the line until he saw an opening on the right side nixon picks up about three aj green sets up on the outside second and goal we approach five minutes to go in this first half bengals trying to add to their lead [Applause] nixon stumbles to the five two yard pick up third and goal for cincinnati and the raymonds game with the blitz and looks like mixon might have been able to get through there but he just tripped as he went through the line of scrimmage but the the ravens could not afford to leave aj green single covered here from the five-yard line 6-4 tremendous leaper great target he's matched up with the rookie humphrey third and goal dalton looks pumped wide open touchdown tyler croft second of the day for croft and the bengals build on their lead now good pass protection for dalton he could really look around here he's going to get inside the coverage of chuck clark as he drops into a zone nobody in the middle of the field for croft weddle late coming over andy dalton with a second touchdown but look at the pocket beautiful pocket there for dalton and croft working the back line of the end zone nine plays 72 yards dalton with multiple touchdowns to his tight end croft extra point from bullock is good it's 14-3 cincinnati defensive defensive backs are taught not to go any deeper than five yards in the end zone where they're in zone coverage so what croft does is he's going to go all the way to the back and you can see that all the defensive backs are going to be about five yards deep they don't want the ball obviously caught in front of them so you can see well kind of in no man's land there as uh the rookie chuck clark i think he might have blown that coverage there on tyler croft alex redmond with the dirty dancing move he just lifted croft up in the air is that what that move is i'm not sure nobody puts croft in the corner 14-3 cincinnati bengals will kick it off and this has been nightmarish for the ravens the way this first half has gone the way that the other two games have developed all part of the playoff equation for the baltimore ravens moore is in there at the baltimore lifted off the ground and moore is dropped across the 30-yard line flacco trots out his team is in a 14-3 hole well here are the scenarios the win of course you don't have to worry about anything else or tennessee lost to jacksonville so far tennessee's got the lead 6-3 or buffalo loss at miami builds with the advantage 10 nothing over the dolphins in that tennessee game they missed the extra point after the derrick henry touchdown [Applause] 44th all-time meeting between the ravens and the bengals first down flecko again deflected flacco couldn't get a clean pass off carlos dunlap has been living in the pocket that's three plays for dunlop in the last two series [Applause] he's six foot six tremendous athlete gets inside austin howard and then makes the play on the ball eight straight in completions out second and ten fleck off good hands and that's been a legitimate question where has benjamin watson been the leading receiver this season for the baltimore ravens makes that catch for five line of scrimmage is now the 36. [Applause] watson coming off a five catch 40 yard performance last week they go back to back for watson but not enough for the first down snuffed out by jordan evans another good play by jordan evans [Applause] and paul moving around a lot that should be an incomplete pass it's well short of the first down and they did wave it off as an incomplete pass no need to go to uh new york for that replay bud did not survive the ground dan who does it's tough you know but these are this is a heated coil field so if you have any chance of surviving this today sam cook the punt eriksen he's had a workout didn't know if erickson would be back in there after the previous putt return but he is and he's driven backwards after the 41-yard kick 322 left cincinnati with the football coming up verizon halftime report jb phil nate boomer coach cower the latest nfl scores and highlights all coming up on the verizon halftime report that last drive for cincinnati they went 72 yards in nine plays really good balance better pass protection for dalton cincinnati has no timeouts remaining [Music] nixon in the backfield for the bengals motion they open up from their own 23-yard line with a 14-3 lead and off mixon bounces off a tackler ridden down as he curled sedarius smith was there to greet him we've got a variety of answers when we asked the bengals players what's at stake here giovanni bernard said we want to go out with a bang we don't want last week to be the high moment and off to mixon slashing across the 25-yard line and it brings up third down as michael pierce makes the play defensively it's a three-yard pickup he mentioned something about a dying goose but it really was more of a swan song i think that's what bernard was was relaying to us yeah and the motivation what are you playing for he says i'm playing for my teammates the guy that i count on they would count on me i don't think he's playing for contract that guy's just playing for the love of the game third and six dalton looks a pass open man is lafell and a first down a breakdown another conversion for cincinnati to the tune of 22 yards in between humphrey and weddle yeah longest completion of the day for dalton he gets be high and humphrey does uh lafell and a beautiful touch pass over the top for the conversion out to midfield for the bengals as they continue to roll but without any timeouts could be more difficult they have 14 first downs in the first half baltimore has won cincinnati with a 14-3 lead the bengals are looking for more before we hit the break [Music] [Applause] coming up verizon halftime report jb and the rest of the gang in new york latest nfl scores and highlights all coming up on the verizon halftime report just a sense of shock around this stadium that this game has transpired the way that it has in the first half cincinnati 14 baltimore three the bengals have looked like a crisp offense certainly running the football mixing 77 yards bernard 47 on the ground cuts it to the outside flag is thrown as he shuffled to the perimeter tony jefferson there defensively four-yard pickup for bernard holding offense number 62 10 yard penalty replay first down 62 is alex redmond congratulations to alex and his wife madeline she gave birth to their first child jeremiah 9 pounds 14 ounces [Music] looks like a offensive guard to me right now maybe congrats beautiful little boy dalton tosses to bernard and they flock to him led by humphrey play his whistle dead clock is moving we're down to 138 left to play in this first half this is where dalton's got to be real careful not to force the ball over the middle and to risk an interception the uh content with the 11-point lead going into halftime ravens do have three timeouts remaining we're down to a 120 to go during the second quarter dalton downfield and makes the connection to croft that has been his best target of the day another catch for crawf that's for 16. that's four catches now for croft a couple of scores great move that time on the linebacker owasso just enough for the first down and now we're under a minute to go a lot of scrimmages the 40. dalton he's on target again to croft that covers eight yards five catches for 50 and it stops the clock with 50 seconds left as he gets out of bounds randy bullock getting himself mentally and physically prepared for a potential field goal before halftime and dalton's gotten hot seven straight completions now team close to range for bullet second and two golden throws downfield hauled in [Applause] tyler boyd with a sliding grab and cincinnati moving quickly here yeah get up and clock this one the spike by dalton stops the clock with 34 seconds left that was an 18-yard completion to boyd eight straight completions now and a really good catch here for boyd going down securing the catch [Applause] uh john harbaugh and the ravens will be searching for answers at halftime this might be a deeper haul to climb out of with cincinnati moving the ball once again with ease down the field second down for the bengals they have 34 seconds to work with dalton quick hitter nearly picked off [Music] he was looking for aj green and it was brandon carr who had a beat on it yeah if carb makes this catch he's gone he's going to look at galt at a.j green the whole way waiting for this slant route and knocks the ball away but if he makes the catch he would have his third career interception return for a touchdown the 11th play of the draw third and 10 for cincinnati dalton looks to green upstairs and over his head and a match up with card it's fourth down that time aj green faked the slant route went deep and had car beat [Applause] watch here's the slant route fake there and then to the corner and dalton knows he let one get away randy bullock on for the field goal it's a 32-yarder for bullock had four field goals last week including a 51-yarder this one he knocks through to pad the cincinnati lead 17-3 bengals 23 seconds left in this first half they go 12 plays 63 yards with no timeouts and harbaugh and morning morningwag having a conversation halftime tennessee 12-3 lead on jacksonville halftime buffalo 10-0 over miami the bengals have looked like the team that is playing for a playoff spot back to back weeks they've got it done offensively because again guys healthy again and then the change along the offensive line moving bowling out to left tackle and a couple of the youngsters westerman and revin playing left guard more power the running attack today has been outstanding talked about nixon 77 yards bernard has 50. that's just on 22 carries return man chris moore moore moves forward brings it in at the seven makes a cut sheds a tackler more he's got speed more working the sideline more still going and he's dropped with eight seconds left moore nearly took at the distance finally something to cheer about for the baltimore faithful 88 yards well we saw moore go off the field with an injury looks pretty good here but look at the help he's going to get down the field big number 88 working his way vince maylie doing a great job andy dalton can't believe an 88-yard return and the ravens have one shot at the end zone here maybe two special teams has put the cincinnati defense in a tough position baltimore trying to take advantage flacco slings it touchdown joe flacco tosses a strike and it's chris moore as it should be he got him down here reward him on this slant route getting inside the linebacker vincent ray flacco with his best throw of the day right on target and a great job by moore reaching out with his hands to shorten the distance the ball has to travel and boy did they ever need that the ravens offense had been dormant and tucker on for the extra point 88-yard return by moore sets up the six-yard touchdown and it's a seven point game with four seconds left in the first half [Applause] i guess we should give the training staff [Applause] some props there for getting more back in the game after it looked like he was done for the day [Applause] now terrell suggs one of the leaders on this team heads over to chris moore who's going to get a lot of pats on the helmet [Applause] baltimore will receive the kickoff to start the second half officially 87 yards on that return by moore [Applause] their total yards of offense in the first half down is 61 yards that's it for the ravens we got 87 on the one return now the game is divided into three parts offense defense and special teams this ball rolls and jumped on at the 18-yard line [Applause] two seconds remain on the clock as carter was on the receiving end of that kick and it's rejuvenated this crowd you know flacco showing the competitor he is with that one throw i've been really struggling and betrayed by a lot of drop passes it was four of 18 until that touchdown pass perfect throw bengals take a knee and we hit the break in baltimore end of the first half cincinnati with a 17-10 lead over the ravens halftime is next after these first half highlights from verizon and a word from your local station getting ready for third quarter action here in baltimore with the bengals in front 17 to 10. the numbers are not pretty for the ravens but ultimately the only number that's going to matter is the final score ravens get a win and they'll be in the playoffs cyan eagle dan fouts evan washburn the third member of our broadcast team after john harbaugh obviously what chris moore did at the end of that first half could change your season more with the 87-yard return and then the touchdown catch from joe flacco they're down by seven to cincinnati harper was a special teams coach too wasn't he he was yeah funny how that thing works out like that but uh yeah baltimore gets them all to start the second half and they're gonna have to find some offense because they were just pitiful especially on third down oh for eight is just not going to get it done the bengals you got to hand it to them they're playing loose and free in that first half and they just kind of fell asleep on that kickoff return yep bengals andy dalton was very solid throughout it was the running game that set the tone for cincinnati you could tell early on the bengals had a game plan and it involved joe mixon and a whole lot of them 14 carry 77 yards for marvin lewis's squad and what most believe is the final game for marvin lewis as the head coach of the cincinnati bengals bengals will kick it off to start this second half [Applause] return is campanero [Applause] cabanero out of bounds we check in with evan washburn blind i spoke with john harbaugh and it's not one solution to what they're doing offensively here to start this third quarter it's everything it's blocking up front it's executing some of these plays it's the drops there were five of them in that first half as for marvin lewis his message put that final play behind you the kickoff and the touchdown they played a wonderful first half he was really pleased with the effort the intensity and dan you mentioned it and he said it as well and and you can sense it on they're playing loose this is a group that's playing with the freedom here well evan joe flacco is five of 19 for 28 yards passing short pass to mike wallace to get things started in this third quarter and the reaction from this crowd maybe even some sarcastic cheers that wall has held onto the ball six yard pickup yeah we're long away from the bronx that definitely uh a bronx cheer they gave it to rashad perriman last week here after he made a couple of catches that's the restless natives second and four williams sets up in the backfield flacco off the boot benjamin walks in has got a first down can the ravens find some rhythm on offense and that includes joe flacco with back-to-back completions [Applause] [Music] now flacco finding benjamin watson and that's always a good idea you have an injured player all the way over on the baltimore sidelines yeah jordan evans yeah he's had a really solid first half [Applause] the athletic training staff is over there with evans touch his left shoulder as he's going to go down with watson all that weight right on that left shoulder watson held on to the football his second catch we're going to step aside here in the third during the timeout jordan evans up on his feet but heading directly to the locker room it is brandon bell that will step in to replace evans evans is a rookie bell is a rookie artie nickerson also in a rookie linebacker first down for baltimore three straight completions now for flacco going back to the touchdown at the end of the second quarter steps and throws it's complete to woodhead down to the 49 just shy of a first down bell and ray combined defensively for cincinnati looking forward to the playoffs that the ravens get there having wood head back and healthy and getting his timing down with flacco is going to be very important very versatile player second and one collins with ricard in front of him [Applause] it's collins and it's a first down into cincinnati territory at the 49 andrew billings with the stop two-yard pickup for collins [Applause] so they moved the chains for baltimore they are now up to 89 total yards of offense well they trailed by just seven marty morningweg in his third year with baltimore and we're head coach of the detroit lions first down deep drop flacco out of the pocket fleck of throws on the move snaps one caught at the 41 by boyle [Applause] now flacco running away from geno atkins here atkins gets inside with tremendous spin move there and flacco finally gets a receiver to make a catch on a throw that he's having to make on the run good job that time by boyle flacco was four of 18. he is connected on his last five passes second and two back to the ground collins has cut back by collins he's got enough for a first down hit by hardy nickerson [Applause] well coaches love to talk about a player putting his foot in the ground and getting north and south watch the left foot go in the ground there and then right straight up the field for the first [Applause] down buck allen in for baltimore [Applause] williams sets up in front of him they fake it flacco low throw handled by watson first down for the ravens so now receivers are making plays for baltimore and there's another injured bengal on the play yeah another linebacker for the bengals is down good catch by watson he's always been known for his great hands looks like vincent ray [Applause] looked like he got a heel right to the chin as they check on ray we'll step aside vincent ray was helped to his feet walked off across the field to the cincinnati sideline carl lawson who's a hybrid defensive end linebacker paul gunther is going to have to get creative here as the ravens have a first intent handoff to buck allen turns the corner and allen is drilled out of bounds by iloka four and a half yard pickup for allen and iloka may be the solution fox a number of times and showed for sure tackler he is but bengals running out of linebackers ravens have been held to 10 points they've scored 20 or more in eight straight games the franchise record is nine set twice back in 96 and in 2014 this is the second and five make the jet sweep flecko throws juggle intercepted it's picked off by dinard and dinard is working his way down the sideline dinar cuts it inside flacco trying to get in between and dinard will take it all the way a game changer 89 yards chris moore could not secure it isn't that the irony of all the ball bouncing around dinard picks it up and then he's gonna get a convoy down the sidelines look at his teammates hustling to get out in front key block there that time by jordan willis boy and that's been the story of the day for the ravens in the first half a lot of passes on target dropped that time moore bounced the ball up in the air where dinard could take it and take it to distance what a turn of events here in baltimore chris moore who gave the ravens a a serious pulse at the end of the second quarter moore juggled it it became a gift for dinard who goes 89 yards the other way for the touchdown and cincinnati has a 24 to 10 lead on the ravens this is dinard's first interception return for a score and he just hung in there he bottled it a couple of times himself the ravens had a rhythm baltimore had it going forget about game changer potential season changer for the ravens still plenty of time 10 17 to go on the third quarter but now it's a 14-point game flacco had gone 134 straight passes without a pick until that one and really not his fault ball was on target and throughout the season it's been the baltimore defense that has created opportunities five defensive touchdowns this season for baltimore second in the nfl it's cincinnati that comes up with the defensive play of the game so far hampanero the return man from the nine cappinaro emerges out on the perimeter and he's out of bounds baltimore offense will come back onto the field trailing 24 to 10. here's more right here and it's going to be a crossing route they faked a cabanero really good action there finds a little bit of a hole in the secondary but the inability to secure the catch within the hustle by the bengals down the sidelines joe flacco the last man available he turns to the inside good fake that time by denard to get into the end zone cincinnati had just 13 takeaways this season coming into action today second fewest in the nfl next to cleveland flacco sells the fake sets up the screen for collins that collins has got a first down [Music] hardy nickerson with the hit we sent it to evan washburn guys after that pick six chris moore was slow to get up remember it was his left foot that he banged up early in this game obviously made that play before half so he's fighting through it also defensively for cincinnati jordan evans is out with a shoulder and head injury vincent ray back in them and ray is in there right now [Applause] 49-yard line for baltimore 9 32 to play in the third flacco wallace gets stamped john williams and it's a clean catch for wallace but they're going to send wallace off the field because of this hit a shoulder shot there by sean williams but his head snapped back and the line of scrimmage will be the 31-yard line tremendous concentration by wallace big hit here by sean williams [Applause] that could end mike wallace's day [Applause] and that it could be a problem again for the ravens with no macklin and no perimen cincinnati's going to challenge that wallace did not have two feet in bounds on the catch so wallace right foot down left foot never touched that's right in addition to the stinging blow from thumper sean williams he may have just saved the first down well that blow actually forced that foot watch the left foot here after the hit he might have been able to get it down but with that hit it just changes wallace's direction did the heel touch it was really close call on the field was a clean catch watch the left heel tough to tell on that shot didn't look like any grass came up either and as we know it has to be indisputable evidence there's no such thing yeah this year it's been more of a gray area more disputable evidence oh it is i don't think he touched nope i don't think so either he actually hit williams foot his left foot is going to hit williams you just would think naturally wallace's foot would hit down on the ground but because of the hit from williams it changed wallace's body and how it was positioned after reviewing the play the ruling on the field has changed the receiver did not give control and two feet down in balance it's an incomplete pass we'll leave baltimore's ball second and ten on their own 49-yard line the clock will start on the snap marvin lewis challenges and the officials have overturned it the issue really wasn't control he had control he she was no left foot down so baltimore back to the 49. that's a good use of the challenge obviously for marvin lewis and a good job by his coaches up in the press box seeing the replay and suggesting that red flag coming out be a good idea colin to the backfield wallace is on the sideline and adam for joe is in there at wide receiver collins takes it to the outside and colin turns on the jets for a nine yard pickup nfl today update jb and boomer in new york no mccoy go big they go real big no older two 34 year old 310 pound running back kyle williams that's right kyle williams a defensive tackle on the other side of the ball scores a touchdown buffalo takes a commanding 19-0 lead over the miami dolphins as a two-point conversion failed back to ion and dan in baltimore well you mentioned no mccoy huge story there for the buffalo bills losing mccoy in that game allen good move by allen and he's hit inside the 25 by george iloco really good job of of reading things here by buck allen he's going to come up to the line of scrimmage and then bounce it all the way out to the left side and right to the second level to the third level where i loca has to take him down inside the third 25. now onto the sideline they replace them with alex collins 18-yard gain for buck allen keep it on the ground columns try to take it inside and picks up two yards hit by hardy nickerson we are down to 807 to play in the third cincinnati 24 baltimore 10. mike wallace is out of the pop-up tent and he's got his helmet on he's got his chin strap evan washburn reporting to us that he is cleared and good to go line of scrimmages just shy of the 22 second and eight for baltimore flacco fakes and throws hits ricard ricardo with his fourth catch of the season and he got tackled by vincent gray on the play yeah the former defensive lineman goes about 300 pounds and wallace joins his teammates in the huddle on a third and six baltimore and field goal range but thinking touchdown down 14 points 708 and counting left in the third one of nine on third down conversion he's got his man danny woodhead with the catch but it's short drilled by sean williams along the sideline and limited to a three-yard pick up through the air yeah good choice now by john harbaugh to go for this on fourth down throughout the year they've had real good success on fourth downs nine to 14. i'm gonna bring in the uh heavy artillery too they have a couple extra tight ends they are nine of 14 fourth best in the nfl and a timeout taken by cincinnati [Applause] still a lot of time left 6 28 to go in the third what's the thought process if you're harbaugh and from your perspective now you got momentum you've had a couple of real good drives i mean the interception for the touchdown you know you got to think about all the positive things you did to get there and then on this drive answering that touchdown uh offensively they've got things going plus if you've got mike wallace back in the game which appears he's heading back to the huddle he's going to draw a double coverage at some point here i would like to see danny woodhead back in the game though just because of his versatility and experience as a third downback huge call here baltimore electing not to kick the field goal would have made it an 11-point game they go for it on fourth and three it's a toss for collins collins reversing field alex collins turns the corner collins dives for the pylon he's in touchdown major highlight 17 yards improvisation from collins now they don't draw it up this is a one-man reverse collins just totally shut off on the left side reverses his field now he gets buck allen in front joe flacco is there and then it's just tremendous individual effort 17 yards fantastic play by alex collins that was special 6 16 to play john harbaugh rolls the dice [Applause] aces for collins [Applause] extra point from tucker it's a one possession game alex collins a beautiful run on fourth down cincinnati lead to 24-17 in week 17 for baltimore we asked alex collins who did he study or which running backs caught his eye he said ricky williams brandon jacobs he studied their moves the quickness the acceleration larger backs collins 17 yards what a run to cap off that nine play drive for baltimore i know i go backwards that looks like gail sayers to me wow you know cincinnati still has not had the ball in the second half 6 16 mark of the third they'll get it at the 25. well let's go back and see this tremendous play here they're trying to go out wide but a good play here by the the bengals defense andrew billings and michael johnson that's when uh dallas decides let's try the other side now he's going to get a little help flacco gets a little bit of a block so does buck allen with just a tremendous maybe season saving play by alex collins first and ten for cincinnati not much there on the running play joe mixon is bottled up by owasso one-yard game six minutes to go here in the third yeah a lot of time to go in this wall game and the momentum again is uh switched to the raven's sideline nixon paul opens up and mix it fires through it finally tracked down by owasso it's an 11-yard pickup for the bengals he's going to break the tackle of brandon williams you know run right through this arm tackle right there and then heading down the field securing the ball remember he had that big fumble in the first half watch him cover up new set of downs for cincinnati they lead it by seven nixon again got some blockers nixon takes a shot at the 40-yard line tony jefferson throwing his weight around it's a three-yard gain for mixing tony jefferson really comfortable playing close to the line of scrimmage solid blitzer he's got two and a half sacks on the year but he's almost like an extra linebacker in there for dean p's defense nixon 92 yards on the ground 17 carries a long of 17. and now bernard replaces him second and seven they put up 141 rushing yards here today in baltimore dalton to throw it thornton fires into a tight window and it's incomplete a.j green couldn't complete the catch as he took a hit from brandon carr yeah i've been a really good battle between these two all day give brandon carl a lot of credit for the coverage and then ripping the ball out there as he both go to the ground sets up third and seven for cincinnati dalton out of the gun dalton tried to call a timeout and he'll get it that's three times today that he's had to beat the clock by calling the timeout and the bengals have one timeout remaining so dalton will have a chat with offensive coordinator bill laser john harbaugh's team has responded they were driving on this cincinnati defense to open up the second half only to see a juggle by moore intercepted by dinard he takes it back the other way for a touchdown to extend the cincinnati lead baltimore answers on fourth down with a collins run to cut it to seven third and seven for cincinnati dalton dials it up incomplete aj green with a crowd of ravens in the area including maurice kennedy yeah i'm not sure what dalton's seeing here there's three guys going to be around aj green when this ball gets there humphries short there's kennedy right with perfect coverage and then weddle coming over late that's the epitome of forcing a ball to your top receiver fourth down campanero the return man at the 16-yard line for baltimore the punt from hubert [Applause] not much of a rush campanero settles under it campanero makes his move on the outside 40-yard punt and campanero is out of bounds usama on special teams baltimore down seven with the football third quarter continues [Applause] here's the update fourth quarter action tennessee on top of jacksonville 15-3 buffalo taking care of business against miami 22-3 if these scores held up it would be tennessee and buffalo in the playoffs and baltimore on the outside with no spot 18 degrees here in baltimore feels like nine with a win collins tries to find an opening at a flag thrown as he's dropped by glasgow you're gonna get james hurst for the holes here holding offense number 74. that penalty has been declined it's sucking down that looked like the score the play that colin scored on last time he carried the ball horrible result though to start a drive clock is ticking we're down to 3 48 left in this third quarter they're looking either at a second and 12 or a first and 20 if they accepted it cincinnati takes the second and 12. flacco fires could not make the connection with wallace late flag thrown really late flag sean williams back there defensively [Applause] official that trump getting the flag out of his pocket [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the officials have a meeting at midfield williams would try to make his case [Applause] wallace was looking for the penalty immediately [Applause] and the way cincinnati is celebrating they overheard a conversation [Applause] not a defenseless receiver here personal foul unnecessary roughness get to the head of the defense's player defense number 36 15 yard penalty from the previous spot automatic first half whatever they heard they misheard because it's against williams you buy it not have to look at it again they're saying he was a defenseless receiver all thrown short but it was simultaneous the ball got there the same time williams did and a first down for the ravens at the 35. [Applause] just one penalty against baltimore here today three against cincinnati looking play for allen he's stacked up three times they've tried that same play running wide to the left one time bengals couldn't defend it but the last two times resulted in a pair of two-yard losses pat sims michael johnson there for the bengals sean williams slow getting up it'll be second and long for baltimore as we send it downstairs evan washburn well guys we'll check on sean williams when we can but a note gino adkins not in on this possession i saw him having his right hamstring stretched out i was told by the officials down here nothing medical at the moment with atkins but their best defensive player not on the field for the bengals and now it's williams evan who is limping off for cincinnati glasgow is in for atkins sean williams in his fifth year physical safety signed to a four-year 19 and a half million dollar deal second and 15 for baltimore [Applause] flacco deep drop flacco gets it to watson [Applause] and he's hit at the 37 after the gain of eight let's get an nfl today update jb boomer the routine can be difficult where do you see this this is marcus mariota trying to head the ball up to derrick henry they actually been doing it pretty well all year long until right there this is in gaque for the jacksonville jaguars he picks it up he turns it for a touchdown that's the jack 7 td this year on defense titans lead 15-10 back to you guys huge play defensively and a big play from flacco to boyle first down into cincinnati territory this game was changed from a one o'clock start to a 4 25 start for these reasons that these games would be happening simultaneously with so much on the line now boyle with his second catch of the day beats uh vincent ray and a good again a good adjustment to the ball by boyle pretty good athleticism for a guy who weighs 270. they now have nine first downs in the second half after just two in the first half dracco on the delay collins alex collins nice cut by collins brandon bell with a stop five yard gain for baltimore it's going to be a little draw place skura here the other guard hurst on the other side and boyle gets off on the linebacker inexperienced linebackers your screen plays and your draw plays are going to be most effective because of their lack of experience in recognizing both those type of delays back out there for cincinnati who lines up for the bengals flacco on a second and five fake it throws to the outside it's caught now ruled incomplete benjamin watson had it and at the very last moment it was jarred loose by dre kirkpatrick that's man-to-man coverage kirkpatrick on watson look at the clothes there by kirkpatrick and then the strip really a heads up play by dre kirkpatrick watch his right hand go right to the point of the ball here and rip it out of watson's sure hands so instead of the first down baltimore now facing third and five [Music] [Applause] first down mike wallace takes it inside the 30. 12 yards on the pitch and catch that that's really been the evolution of mike wallace's career primarily a speed guy when he was with the steelers but his ability to make plays over the middle has really nailed out flacco a number of times since he's been with the ravens under 30 seconds to play in the third cincinnati 24 baltimore 17. ravens at the bengals 29 and that was messy max williams jumps off sides ball start offense number 87 five yard penalty it's first down [Applause] so back it up tight end williams the guilty party just two penalties now against baltimore [Applause] 18 seconds left [Applause] ravens are trying to make the playoffs for the seventh time in the last 10 seasons collins could not wrestle away from geno atkins end of three cincinnati 24 ravens 17. you're watching the nfl on cbs [Music] we start the fourth quarter cincinnati 24 baltimore 17. a win guarantees a playoff berth for the baltimore ravens second and 19 for baltimore first play of the fourth boyle the motion man high snap handled by flacco underneath benjamin watson dives across the 30-yard line for eight now vinnie ray again injured on the play he's laying right on top of the legs of benjamin watson ray left the game earlier but pops up watson helped to his feet sean williams left josh shaw has been playing in that safety spot gray hit his head right on watson's hip and he'll be evaluated for a concussion all of this happening on the baltimore sideline so ray will walk across the field now starts jogging as they had a little chat brandon bell will step in for ray they lost jordan evans earlier bontes perfect out of this game [Applause] inactive with a shoulder injury he talked about carl lawson who's a the hybrid defensive end linebacker talking to him yesterday he said he'd rather put his hand in the ground and rush the passer then drop back into coverage third and 11 for baltimore from the 30. just underway here in the fourth ravens trail the bengals by seven flacco throws open man campanero first down at the 15. flacco delivers he's just feeling so much more comfortable in the pocket now a good route that time but capinero really a sharp route got the necessary yardage with the catch turned his body and gave flacco a perfect target big third down conversion eight different receivers with catches today [Applause] from the 15. fake the run flacco throws over his back foot low throw oh he lost the ball nick boyle ball bounces around and goes through the back of the end zone if it's ruled incomplete there's no harm done and that's the ruling [Applause] boyle turned up field and it got popped out of there that's a catch and a fumble by shaw that's a catch and a fumble he caught the ball turned up the field and had the ball knocked out [Applause] there's the catch control there's the pop out and the ravens snap it [Applause] collins is spun down in the backfield by jordan willis loss of one [Applause] heck of a catch by boyle he turns up the field it had the ball tucked away and it's knocked out by shaw [Applause] it could have been a lot worse for john harbaugh now they face a third and 11 with 13-22 to go in the fourth [Applause] trey kirkpatrick is going to the cincinnati sideline you know this will be noticed by marty morningwag [Applause] his replacement in the game is tony mcrae here's mcrae here's benjamin watson that's the type of match-up you want if you're joe flacco the official sent kirkpatrick out of the game flacco nobody close benjamin watson in the general vicinity and now it's fourth down for baltimore field goal unit comes on with 13 12 in the clock yeah good decision to bring out tucker mr automatic [Applause] 34-yard attempt here for justin tucker morgan cox will snap it cook will hold it from 34 yards away [Applause] it's good ravens inch closer they trail 24 to 20 with 1308 remaining here in the fourth final week of the regular season joe flacco 18 of 37 148 yards a touchdown a pick he has had some drops he had the juggle by more that led to the interception and the return for the touchdown cincinnati clinging to a 24-20 lead on baltimore tucker will kick it off it is erickson deep not going to take it out of the end zone some of the headlines from the early games the new england patriots defending champions number one seed in the afc as they beat the jets to secure it minnesota vikings we've got a first round bye clinch that with their victory over the bears the pittsburgh steelers played mostly backups they outlast the browns and cleveland goes winless this season new england pittsburgh 13-3 jacksonville locked in as the three kansas city is the four baltimore with a win will be the five seed cincinnati with a football giovanni bernard in the backfield on a first and ten from the 25. dalton that ball is tipped at the line of scrimmage and a flag down brandon williams got a piece of it the official was looking the other way so he did not know the ball was deflected and they get a call judon for pass interference but you gotta wave this off because it was deflected or maybe they're gonna rule that if the ball was just uh that that dalton's arm was hit and not that the ball was deflected that could be the call here the reason for the discussion by the officials also the timing of it was their contact before the ball was released there is no foul on the play for passing appearance the was ready with the red flag judon made contact there and the ball never got there that's just the sixth play of the second half for the bengals the ravens have run 30 plays here in the second half totally different than the first half second and ten for cincinnati giovanni bernard not much of a running lane and bernard has held to two yards on the play third and long for the bengals that's big michael pierce 340 pounds along with brandon williams another 340. carl davis up front 321 their job is to keep the linebackers free to run for dean ps and his defense [Applause] matched up with carr third and eighth for cincy dalton moving pocket dalton lofts it out of bounds pressure from tyrell suggs fourth down for cincinnati this is not supposed to be a moving pocket either for dalton but the pressure here from suggs saw subs coming the whole way the only there's nobody over there for the bengals aj green ran a route a post drought across the middle of the field he was the only receiver on that side of the formation 31. [Applause] so pressure sets campbell back camaro out of bounds flags fly yeah they hit out of bounds to give the ravens another 15 yards brian hill on special teams huber and humphrey were exchanging words at the end of that play now that's why take down huber was upset after the play was over personal foul unnecessary roughness by the kicking team under 23. the 15-yard kennedy will be added to the end of the play first down timeout so it is the backup running back rookie out of wyoming who's called on the late hit the ravens with the football trailing 24-20 trying to qualify for the playoffs baltimore ravens had flipped the script in the second half offensive plays it was lopsided first half it's going the other way total yards same story and time of possession all in favor of baltimore but they trail 24-20 with 1205 to play in the fourth they take over at the cincinnati 45. flacco on time mike wallace first down across the 35-yard line and again wallace doing most of his damage with out of the slot over the middle working against the linebacker again again that's brandon bell a rookie free agent and it's no contest good adjustment to a ball thrown slightly behind wallace [Applause] first and ten for baltimore one head is in there sets up next to flacco thinking flacco throws it's complete he hits camponero that's good enough for a first down [Applause] good play fake by flacco and the lack of a pass rush out of the bengals is allowing flacco at 6-6 right over the top of the defense to find his receivers over the middle line of scrimmage is just shy of the 24 of cincinnati alex collins back in hand it off collins hits the hole he's brought down to the 21. three-yard gain for collins cincinnati brandon bell and george iloka collaborate [Applause] collins to the sideline personnel changes here for baltimore facing a second and seven with 10 18 to play in the fourth [Applause] [Music] spills out at the 10. hit by william jackson the third cabinet only had 16 catches all year but this is three now for him here in this second half returning punts and then [Applause] some punishment over the middle but coming through mark them down at the 11 so they can still get another first down first and ten for baltimore [Applause] driven out of bounds by brandon bell the rookie out of penn state makes the play on woodhead that's a really a good tackle by brandon bell woodhead uh he's only five eight but he weighs over 200 pounds so he's very powerful he can't break this tackle good thing that bell did there is he avoided any attempted straight arm by woodhead got to the body drove out of bounds now it's buck allen in the backfield quick snap flacco dropped by ricard and a flag down on the far side at the six [Applause] this is in the secondary so this could be against the bengals [Applause] 12 men on the field by the defense penalty we play second down so a mistake by the cincinnati defense too many men on the field marvin lewis upset paul gunther trying to make his case and it was dunlap attempting to get off towards the cincinnati bench area yeah taking his sweet time to get off the field cost his team five yards second and five for baltimore flacco starts one incomplete wallace with the attempt broken up dinard for cincinnati as well as going to be thrown behind mike wallace it's probably a good idea because dinard had inside position on wallace and if the ball's on target denard might have had his second interception of the day [Applause] third and five for flacco and the ravens they trail 24-20 from the gun flecko enzo it's called touchdown mike wallace with the ground the ravens go in front joe flacco with a bullet and a perfect throw away from coverage of drake kirkpatrick a down and out route speed cut by wallace ball thrown away from the defense wallace with good control of his feet makes the catch left foot down right foot down bump across the plane touchdown [Applause] till patrick was scraping at wallace who curled inside the pylon baltimore 26 cincinnati 24. the extra point from tucker to put the ravens in front by three he nails it we've got 8 48 to play at m t bank stadium we know what's on the line a baltimore win and they're in the playoffs the ravens taking those steps towards a postseason burn they lead it by three seven plays 45 yards for the ravens 17 unanswered points for baltimore the touchdown flacco to wallace 27-24 ravens in front kickoff from tucker [Applause] erickson's not going to take it out of the end zone cincinnati will have it at the 25 with 8 48 to play andy dalton and the bengals got to get something cranked up they've only run eight plays in the second half that means they're facing a very fresh baltimore defense this is a cincinnati team that started the season oh and three they won five of their next eight then lost three in a row that took them out of any kind of playoff conversation what's looming is probably a new head coach as well mixon to the outside well he's a glider when he gets out to the perimeter you can chew up grass it goes about 230 as well so he's got a good combination of that glide and power [Applause] second and six after the four yard pickup they approach eight minutes to play fourth quarter baltimore now leading at 5-3 shotgun for dalton getting to play bernard tough to bring down but bernard cannot break away cj mosley got a hold of him and then he was finished off by brandon williams it brings up third down for cincinnati for those of you expecting to see 60 minutes you're watching the nfl on cbs the game between the cincinnati bengals and baltimore ravens ion eagle dan fouts evan washburn our score 27-24 baltimore 60 minutes will be seen in its entirety immediately following the game except on the west coast third and six for the bengals firing through matthew judon for baltimore eight sacks on the year for judah and this one was just a blur as he goes around the little twist move there in the middle willie henry taking care of the interference and down goes dalton [Applause] really conservative play calling though by bill laser and the bengals two runs and then a forced pass and a sack on third down first sack of the day for the baltimore defense cincinnati punts it on fourth down to campanero big caught camping arrow though has some room and he's out of bounds 55-yard kick with a flag thrown back at the 29 on cincinnati's end of the field [Applause] during the kick holding number 88 of the receiving team 10-yard penalty from the end of the kick baltimore's ball first down it is melee called on the hold 6 33 on the clock baltimore 27 cincinnati 24. they'll back it up after the penalty [Applause] a completely different team in the second half the baltimore ravens did some soul searching during the bye week they were four and five they asked one another what kind of team do you want to be they put themselves in the position that they're in here today with a win and they're in tennessee is taking care of business buffalo is up on miami so now it's on the raven's shoulders alex collins [Applause] beautiful cut across the 20-yard line hit by josh shaw of the bengals he is fun to watch he gets in behind the blocking there of hearst and then makes that cut almost gets away from a diving tackle [Applause] interesting to see how conservative the ravens get with this three-point lead bengals only have one timeout to stop the clock in the two-minute warning second and four for baltimore campanero in motion give it to collins again collins dances and drives across the 25 right into dre kirkpatrick it's a first down for baltimore as he picks up six and even while he's dancing he's gaining ground isn't he he was making moves and still heading down the field and punishing the tackler at the end of it though baltimore gets to use more clock they're coming up on five minutes to play in the fourth line of scrimmage is now to 27. ravens leading the bengals by three straight ahead allen still going across the 45. eventually brought down by nickerson 19 yards what an effort by allen right through here ryan jensen hearst out on the linebacker hardy nickerson has to bring down allen 10 yards after contact here there's the contact look at allen just dragged nickerson and two other bengals all the way to the 46 yard line vincent ray on one knee it's been a rough day for ray yeah now the ravens are basically breaking the spirit of the bengals [Applause] 4 42 to go [Applause] first down for baltimore at their own 46-yard line and you talked about the ball security of the ravens all year they've only given the ball away 16 times they fumbled 19 but they've only lost four of those fumbles this season a couple of power backs in buck allen and alex collins looking to hang on [Applause] on first down for baltimore allen is tossed down by michael johnson no gain on the play we're gonna go under the four minute mark second and ten for the ravens they have 300 yards of offense the way the first half was going that number didn't seem possible for baltimore they had 61 yards at halftime second and ten for the ravens in motion running play [Applause] collins goes up the middle for four nfl today update let's go to new york jv and boom boom nfc playoff side is set you can see right there guys atlanta will meet the rams in the first round of the wild card carolina will visit new orleans and obviously you can see that philadelphia is number one minnesota number two the nfc playoffs are set and ready to roll back to you guys in miami i still wish does it feel like miami do you it is a bitter cold night here in baltimore and still a question as to who is going to be part of the postseason party in the afc [Applause] third and seven and flacco throws it into the ground he didn't like what he saw downfield wasn't going to take a chance he also saw michael johnson covering the back out of the backfield and it was a wise throw away by flacco but it did stop the clock obviously drake kirkpatrick is slow to get up and now he's on his feet he's grabbing at his lower [Applause] back and the ravens will punt it away with 251 left cincinnati one timeout remaining in the two-minute warning in a three-point game erickson retreating he's gonna set up just inside the tent well cook did get a punt block last week against the colts looks like the bengals are going to try and get after it cox will snap it cooks standing waiting for it at the 35. here they come cook gets rid of it end over end oh that pump laughed off erickson but it made its way out of bounds well erickson and dinard kind of ran into each other when that ball was coming down fortunately for the bengals it did crawl out of bounds 41-yard punt coming up tonight on cbs it begins with 60 minutes and people who are making a difference in america followed by swat seal team and bull that's tonight only cbs [Applause] this is almost a disaster for the bengals as maylie is fighting off bernard dinard the ball hits dinard right on top of the helmet angles out of bounds at the 10. cincinnati first and ten at its own ten dalton it's caught by bernard and angles out of bounds brandon card there for baltimore to limit bernard to a three-yard game through the air now this is where dalton's got to be thinking about two guys obviously aj green is gonna probably gonna be double covered everywhere but tyler crawford has had a huge game for the fingers five catches for 50 yards and a couple of scores been quiet here in the second half green has one catch for six yards dalton looks that way and he connects with tyler boyd first down cincinnati that's a good read by dalton because aj green took double coverage down the sidelines leaving boyd singled out of the slot good pass protection for dalton and the key thing point getting out of bounds after the nine yard game 231 the play marvin lewis's squad trailing 27-24 cincinnati has one timeout remaining dalton from the gun floats it oh that ball was up for grab buffalo has held on to defeat miami 22-16 so now it's very simple the ravens have to win to qualify for the postseason [Applause] second and ten for cincinnati 228 left in the fourth and they're gonna put aj green in the slot here along with boyd in motion i'm trying to get him away from the double coverage and the press coverage green draws kennedy dalton looks it's caught by green and green has enough for a first down quiets the crowd with 2 15 and counting left in the fourth quarter he's going to get a little help by brandon lafell clearing things out nice adjustment to a high pass by green dalton sets throws incomplete kennedy got his hand on it and we have hit the two minute warning baltimore trying to hold on and start the new year with a playoff earth [Music] john harbaugh squad will clinch a playoff birth with a win or a tie buffalo will be in the postseason if cincinnati comes back to win it second and ten with two minutes to play in the fourth 27-24 ravens dalton out of the gun out of the pocket dalton looks to the sideline and it's off one incomplete flag down brandon lafell the intended receiver yeah they're going to get uh brandon carr for pass interference here on lafell here's the graph that's interference defense number 24. the ball will be placed at the spot of the foul automatic first down [Applause] [Applause] john harbaugh yelling at sarah thomas the down judge on the near side of the field she didn't make the call ball was made there there's the grab that's clearly passenger turns the ball was on its way to lafell ten-yard penalty benefits cincinnati randy bullock's long this year is 49 for the bengals bernard in his face and he gets clubbed by clark [Applause] we're now to a minute 42 to play here in the fourth what a great hurdle over brandon carr by bernard gets him four more yards and a bruise from chuck clark career long for bullock is 55 yards he did that back in 2014. dalton on second and five under pressure dalton incomplete two defenders in the area dealing with aj green marlin humphrey along with tony jefferson for baltimore well marlon humphreys just did a great job most of the afternoon against aj green you can see his coverage there perfectly blankets green [Applause] that's why the ball was kind of off target dalton getting hit as he released it can they get bullock into range it's third and five for the bengals now two downs to get five yards 123 to play [Applause] and it's intercepted eric weddle with a flag down penalty marker at the 38-yard line it's gonna be holding against the ravens so a first down for the bengals and new life great job by dalton to get out of that [Applause] check out uh marlon humphrey there he just tackles brandon lafell easy call a tremendous job by dalton to get away from the pressure pull out of a tackle by time and get the ball off down the field it was a darius smith who was trying to bring down dalton 113 to play needs about 15 yards to get into range not going to get it there over the head of aj green and another penalty marker one may go against the bengals legal procedure illegal shift by the offense number 18 that we got before the snap five yard penalty for sale a bit of a lack of concentration by aj green never getting set before that ball was snapped so he's still moving as the ball snapped good call by the official on that sideline first and 15. back in cincinnati territory tyler cross single covered here at the top of the screen 109 to play dalton throws popped up crawf incomplete intended receiver it was chuck clark the rookie out of virginia tech who tagged croft and remember it was clark who blew the coverage on croft's second touchdown reception in the first half poorly thrown ball that time by dalton because croft had his man beat to the sideline second and 15 for cincinnati just over a minute to play green in a match up with carr dalton he throws it away 58 seconds left third and 15 for cincinnati [Applause] that's a smart throw away by dalton you know it's third and 15 but obviously you're gonna go for it on fourth down you have to so he's got two plays to pick up the 15 yards for a first down dalton from the gun dalton steps throws underneath catches made by crawf but nowhere to go after the grab as he's hit by chuck clark it's fourth down for cincinnati they pick up just three yards the bengals have only one timeout remaining and croft is heading to the sidelines he kind of slipped as he was coming out of his break there trying to get up the field [Applause] final timeout has been used tonight on cbs begins with 60 minutes people who are making a difference in america followed by swat seal team and bull that's tonight only cbs well here it is it's fourth down the bengals need 12 yards to keep this drive alive and [Applause] to give bullock a possible shot for a game-tying field goal dom's had success thrown to tyler boyd out of the slot he's got single coverage right now green for sure will be doubled at the bottom of the screen ravens trying to end it here fourth down dalton steps up dalton throws it's complete caught by boyd tyler boyd touchdown remarkable the cincinnati bengals have stunned this crowd andy dalton delivers just a great job of finding the single coverage here right down the seam goes boyd you can see the candidate was more concerned with lafell on the outside boyd single covered dalton with time to throw touchdown bengals [Applause] dan you said keep an eye open for boyd working out of the slot that's exactly what dalton did marvin lewis a smile on his face in what could be a swan song [Applause] and they are 44 seconds away from ruining baltimore's party the extra point is good the ravens have three timeouts remaining but they now trail 31-27 if cincinnati wins buffalo goes to the playoffs well andy dalton had great pass protection throughout that entire drive and that allowed him to calmly find number 83 right down the seam lewis has deflected the questions about his future quarterback six of 11 on that drive for all 80 yards a couple of throwaways and a perfect strike for the score cincinnati will kick it off baltimore will have to go the length of the field campanero the return man ravens have all three timeouts to work with the tournament [Applause] 38 seconds left and campanero just grabbed at his lower leg as he went to the sideline he was about 10 to 15 yards off the sideline when he grabbed for his leg [Applause] geez he stepped on a it looks like a bag on the sidelines with that ankle buckled and cabanero could have been a factor in the final 38 seconds flacco and the ravens they need a touchdown watson out of bounds 32 seconds left five yard gain through the air that's an expensive five yards took a lot of time off the clock but you're right about capinero not being able to go that leaves the ravens with just two wide receivers mike wallace and chris moore quincy had a had a boy joe also in the game at the bottom of the screen inexperienced second and five flacco is sacked [Applause] carlos dunlap [Applause] a great move there by dunlap a little head fake to the outside got austin howard off balance he gets right to flacco and down he goes a timeout called 25 seconds on the clock the formula was simple for baltimore cincinnati fourth down not only converts they got a touchdown on the baltimore d the ravens were one down away from the playoffs and now they face a third and long with 28 seconds left [Applause] baltimore moving in the wrong direction third and 14. [Applause] flacco pumped flacco throws it incomplete and it's fourth down yeah the bengal defensive line just giving the the ravens offensive line all kinds of problems here with pressure on flacco of course they know he's going to drop back and throw they should be thinking about moving the pocket a little bit but letting him buy some time this is going to take his receivers time to get to the necessary yardage here's their season flacco great effort he didn't get there nope it's short vincent ray helps save the first down and cincinnati will take over and baltimore season will end right here he catches the ball he needs about eight yards after the catch how about vinnie ray fighting off injury after injury making the tackle getting some help from jackson and clearly short of the first down tremendous effort by the bengals a stunner in baltimore [Applause] the cincinnati bengals with an extraordinary comeback especially when you think about their second half when they really offensively were unable to get anything going they went strictly to the pass on that last drive and converting a fourth down not only converting but scoring with it unbelievable [Applause] victory formation for cincinnati the raven season ends with a thud the bengals spoil baltimore's party 31-27 the buffalo bills are going to the playoffs [Applause] dalton to boyd a game-winning touchdown for cincinnati on fourth down the ravens end their season at home nine and seven for baltimore they won five of six to get to this point but could not finish the deal against the cincinnati bengals in what most believe is the final game for marvin lewis as the head coach of the bengals they get a win to finish the season at seven and nine the afc playoffs are set the buffalo bills will go to jacksonville the tennessee titans will head to kansas city new england number one seed pittsburgh number two they'll wait to see who their opponents are in the divisional round should be a lot of fun partner happy new year to you and our cbs crew it's been a great year this one was wild the cincinnati bengals rally for the win and pull off a shocker in baltimore 31-27 the final for dad found evan washburn the rest of our crew in eagle so long for baltimore happy new year we'll send you to new york for more right after this
