bears by three ravens still in the playoff hunt as well up by six and the jaguars and bengals two-point lead the jaguars of nursing jaguars are still in it as well minnesota knowledge well as much as terry's going to be throwing roses new orleans his way and they got the easiest schedule of the contenders left this year any team that gives up at least 20 points in every single game this year you're not going to go very far in the playoffs they've got to play better defense if they got a chance in the playoffs well that's been that's been the question with new orleans it's not their offense it's been their defense and one of the problems they've had when they face the minnesota vikings they've limited randy moss's catches but they've all been for big plays explain to me why cedric hodge linebacker ends up matched up on randy moss for the big touchdown play and they do have the easiest schedule but it's hard to figure right now these teams that are in contention are playing easy teams look like w's and they struggle right he was locked up on him because it was covered too and the slot he should have jammed him and got help from over johnson has gone through two a

caught up with vikings head coach mike teice coach tyson you guys in a back and forth affair talk about dante culpepper's decision-making process in that first half well i think he's making some great plays for us he's getting out of trouble having a little problem in pass protection with the noise with the crowd noise our guys are a little bit laid off the ball we'll get that figured out and give our guys some help but he's doing a great job of winning to get out of the pocket throwing the ball superb but we gotta get our special teams together our special teams are certainly not very special right now in a back and forth game what will be the key to trying to end your road losing streak turnovers uh we can't turn the football over and we gotta we can't let them make any plays on us on

linebacker i play running back i play fullback i play right tackle my name's casey and i play football back here in new orleans ron pitts john yorkovic minnesota vikings up over the new orleans saints 24 to 20. and you look at what's going on we talked about the running games for both teams coming in deuce mcallister just can't seem to get it going michael bennett he's getting it going a little bit but dante culpepper is unconscious culpepper is unconscious you're right michael bennett has 105 total yards but it's culpepper who got in the endzone twice early once on the quarterback draw fallen over to new orleans saints second on a scramble and howard should have had him for a sack they find a way to get a touchdown then michael lewis comes back on a kickoff return nobody touches him he gets all the way in the endzone for a 97-yard return jake reed down the middle of the field for a touchdown and in a two-minute situation cedric hodge finds himself on randy moss randy moss with the big touchdown right before the half dante culpepper at the half 12 for 18 194 yards and he got into the end zone twice rushing that's tyrone carter he'll take this squibber at about the sixth he's got a full head of steam and runs into his own man he'll go down about the 43-yard line here's a quick look at the halftime numbers [Music] yeah there's a shocking thing 291 total yards for the minnesota vikings that's unbelievable the time of possession is pretty equal but the rushing yards for the new orleans saints that has to pick up and you got to look at the offensive line i know deuce is hurt but the offensive line has to open up some some holes for deuce mcallister mcallister's getting hit in the backfield he's not getting any momentum whatsoever built up i'm sure vikings fans back home are wondering where was all this offensive production earlier in the year the saints are messed up on defense they can't get lined up right they got jay bellamy on randy moss and cult pepper doesn't have time to see him he flips this one out to dwayne bates [Music] right now let's go down to our sideline reporter joe trahan joe thanks so much ron i talked to state's head coach jim hazlett he says defensively it's simple when they have shots at dante culpepper they have to make him count and get him on the ground offensively despite struggling at the running game expect a mix of pass and run and joe horn by the way says he's just fine after taking that hard hit in the second quarter ron back to you all right joe thank you very much culpepper looking at a second and eight here flying saucer in the backfield he'll lead it bennett will push his way up the field and we've got a flag down [Music] and there's been a lot of those big john hand was engaged d3 offense 10 yards second down yeah big norman hand i keep calling him jon hand big norman hand was engaged with corbin lucina and lucina got called for the holding hand tried to shed the block and make the tackle on bennett and that's where they made the holding call on lucina let me ask you this we know that norman hands chicken wings are good because we've got some up in the booth here but how good was john hand well john hand was phenomenal pass rusher could play both the run and the pass equally reminds me a little bit of norman hand this is called pepper looking down the field this will go way out of bounds and speaking of norm in hand well he's got his own wings restaurant it's called wiggle wings big wiggle wings look at that price you know what john's trying to keep up with inflation i think i i think he is jake reed was there caught a touchdown pass had to fuel the fire had some chicken wings joe horn was there that those were supposed to be up here for us that's for me and grossman we had 400 wings ordered me and bobby grossman were going to eat all that i think our camera guys ate it up that's all right they devoured them as good a job as the fox camera guys do they can eat it up this is dulc pepper third down and a long 16 he won't be close sammy knight brings him down this will bring on a punting situation for the minnesota vikings third and 18. you have to put yourself in a better situation you get some yardage you get about 14 of those yards 13 of those yards back you punt it away try to pin new orleans in and this is where the defense from minnesota has to go to work kyle richardson he booms this one another poor kick it'll flop around and die at about the 24 yard line big norman sweating it up [Music] and those are his wings hasty they're hot too right now fly southwest airlines for just 39 to 99 each way when you purchase by december 16. so get packing take all the time you want folks we'll take this one in red beautiful choice sir [Music] no black black

orleans saints to take over here first and ten this will be their worst starting field position of the day so far two tight ends one wide receiver in the game for the saints [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] beaker the adjustment by deuce he had the vision he saw the penetration on the left side got out of the tackle broke the tackle took it all the way across the field should have continued he hesitated just a little bit but here it is it's the vision he knows he's in trouble he's got defenders all over him now he's trying to find some play space he gets aaron brooks to set a key block for him beaker chases him out of bounds i don't know how lance johnston miss the tackle the quick pitch this is joe horn joe with the stiffy in it he gets slammed and i'm surprised we don't see any extracurricular activity there that's that's brian williams right now let's go to los angeles and jb ron we know the playoff implications there with you atlanta needs a win and a giant loss they had a 10-point lead now cut to three as matt hasselbeck hooks up with jeremy stevens on a five-yard strike 17-14 falcons back to ron and john all right jb jb i know you didn't put that suit on don't terry bradshaw seattle going to make it tough on atlanta second down and seven play action brooks looking down the field he goes and he's got horn again horn working on corey bradford that time a pickup of 17. cory horn working on wide receiver on the defensive back there brian williams you see him taking a look the timing is perfect brooks throws right on rhythm right on rhythm he ends up making the throw and that's why it gets just in bounds and horn the veteran receiver can get inbounds with two feet you think he got two two down on that one and the trick is did he have possession yeah he's dot in the eye he's dragging that one foot comes down and the other one drags doesn't matter the play is off the replay is negated this one intended for boo williams but it's incomplete even if you wanted to challenge a play like this here's horn coming to the sideline bradford in pursuit there's the one catches the back half of the ball joe horn catches the back half and then he drags once that first foot's down he just kind of limp legs the left leg and just makes sure it drags and catches some of the carpet great play by joe horn second in the nfc and third down catches he's had six 100 yard plus games [Music] let me say that he's a shoeland for the pro bowl the vikings the flag is down it's bradford coming up number 68 offense five yards second down bob mcelwee says it's on the saints and they'll go backwards ronnie bradford's coming up making it look like a blitz here's turley up on top he's the one that gives a little bit of a move and up you start taking vision offensive line is looking left and right you see a guy coming to blitz you get a little bit antsy to get out on your guy and turley cost him five yards defensive coordinators bank on that hand second and 15. [Applause] nobody's open stallwork was the only receiver open on the on the near side of the football field otherwise brooks had nobody to go to that pass intended for mcallister johnstone with the pressure the offensive lines protecting but here you see on the left side of the field joe horn running his route she's got coverage jake reed running the route they get pursuit coverage and aaron brooks doesn't want to make the throw he's looking for something a little bit easier he just doesn't want to make the throw and maybe aaron brooks can't make that throw doesn't feel comfortable with the amount of zip because of the bruised shoulder he's had to come out early the last two games this is third and 15. he holds fires and he skips one intended for jerome pathan who was actually wide open and that may be your clear-cut sign right there talked about that arm being a little tired dragging just a bit that's a play that aaron brooks makes nine out of ten times and there the ball is under throw path on sliding trying to make the play that ball is where it should be peyton's on the run taking that ball into the end zone putting pressure on the two defensive backs for the minnesota vikings second punt today for toby going he'll keep this one deep nick davis dave is standing on the 13. this is a high floater he'll call for a fair catch he does and that's where dante cole pepper and the vikings will take over when we come back welcome to the kingdom [Music] talking watches now only at burger king just 239 each with the purchase of any value meal cool your jets man collect all

minnesota vikings and the vikings have the ball kyle turley getting that offensive line together talking aaron brooks and a few other members of the saints here's a quick pitch that's randy moss boss going against dale carter [Music] well yurko i know you love nascar and you're in your element coming up this february nascar on fox returns with the 45th running of the great american race the daytona 500. tony stewart begins his winston cup title defense as he leads a star-studded field of the world's best while mike joy and daryl waltrip lead our gang for another season of high speed action energy humor excitement and all that good stuff the daytona 500 flag will drop in 15 weeks this is complete michael bennett he's out across the 30-yard line he's complete for first yard first down yardage but there's a hole one of the new orleans saints got corralled on the perimeter holding number 74 offense 10 yards second down brian mckinney he's been getting off the ball slow he's had problems the crowd noises bothered him mike tyson said that here he is in the upstairs against howard and howard doesn't get off the ball great there but he posts him with the left arm throws the rip in and mckinney's got nothing to do but to drag him down to the ground it's one thing mckinney does because he's 6-8 he does play a little high and if howard gets under him he has problems with him no williams in the backfield that's williams williams gets nothing he's stacked up hard mo williams has 10 touchdowns on the year you can see the score there philadelphia and washington philly taking care of their end of the deal for the saints the saints haven't taken care of their part of it and they struggle at home they they have struggled at home they're 10 and 12 at home under folks jim hasland they're 16 and 7 on the road you should be better if you're a playoff team you should be better at home they just haven't found a way to muster up the intensity when they're at [Applause] [Music] complete home saucer saucer trying to get out to the first down and he won't do it a nice effort though and a nice check down by dante culpepper darren smith on the tackle and we've got a saint injured that looks like dale carter and dale carter is in pain carter's on the field if he can't go irvin can we'll come back and check on dale carter right after this fred who knew one cup of

on nfl.com [Music] introducing 54321 covering the entire world of extreme sports nightly back here in new orleans looks like dale carter's all right he uh kind of got kicked in the midsection this is richardson this is michael lewis and he won't get much tackled by chris walsh we've got a flag down let's check it out the officials are pointing in the direction of the saints but let's see holding number 82 of the receiving team after the ball was kicked the receivers will keep the ball first and 10 after assessing their foul that's boo williams he gets the flag right now let's go to los angeles and jb hey ron and john take a look at what's happening in philadelphia the handoff to liddell bets not a good exchange fumble picked up no whistle carlos emmons recovers a fumble he takes it 44 yards for the score you know for the win they win their second consecutive nfpc east and that's good news for new orleans if the saints can come back let's take it back to ryan and john all right jb thank you very much and you're right a philadelphia eagle win would clinch that east division and they look to be well on their way [Music] this is aaron brooks first and 10. mcallister deuce mcallister you got to give him his props because he comes into this game after playing about three weeks busted up with that ankle coming in for treatment at 6 30 in the morning he's laying it on the line he is laying it on the line 21 yards in the first half he's come back and already two bigger runs in the second half one for 12 yards this one for five they've got to find him room they've got to open up some holes for him this will be second with five deuce again but deuce meanwhile is rolling who's mcallister will score but let's see what the flag is it's back toward the line of scrimmage 78 yards as the officials talk it over and it won't count because we've got a penalty on the saints it's going to be negated and terrell smith on the corner of the fullback horse-collared somebody down to the ground they're going to call it on pathon coming in from the perimeter he got a hold of brian williams off the corner holding on the wide man 10 yard penalty second down the y the wide man we all know who that is and the wide man was jerome pathan trying to get on brian williams and he got on him a little bit much and jim hazlitt is getting on the official well the referees really have been brought into question this year and haslet's not happy he wants to know why that call was being made and coach jim hadley better be careful [Applause] you can see it right here he's being collared that play could be made in the backfield and when it's not made the flag is flying and that flag flew from 20 yards down the field so it'll push the saints back erase the touchdown and they'll look at a second and 14. plenty of time for brooks but his time is closing down and he's got to get rid of this one out of necessity and those shots on aaron brooks are starting to add up they're starting to pile up we've seen him under throw a couple of balls let's take a look at that penalty again here's joe horn right here he's here's pathan he's got to make the block and there you see he's in front of him but as they turn it almost looks like he gets a hold of him he's got an arm in front an arm in back then he takes him down to the ground and wrestle him to the ground if he wasn't near the play and if he didn't almost make the tackle they wouldn't have called the penalty third and 14. james fenderson checks in in the backfield for the saints brooks has a man over the middle that's complete at about the 28-yard line that's jake reed jake reed coming alive jake's been coming up big he's got the touchdown pass and now the third down conversion third and 15 not going to win as an offense many times they win that time aaron brooks one given time is phenomenal a pickup of 15 big ones here he is right here the inside of the three receivers the number one just comes up and just runs a little curl protection's there timing's there completion is there things roll the package they've got four wide receivers in the game now this is joe horn joe's got some room to run beaker takes a shot he misses he's finally brought down by the corner kelly and the saints love four wide receivers more than like any other formation three wide receivers a tight end one back there it's okay but they've got weapons and four wide receivers that's what they prefer to be in that's their high impact offense for wide receivers well the saints have something that you don't see on the viking side and that's a depth at wide receiver they've got weapons in the twos and the threes [Music] this will be second down in one yard on the 36 yard line here's the toss you've got movement by the saints and the officials below the play dead that was james fenderson on the carry every time they run that little talk start number 82 offense five yards second down boo williams right here the tight end little smidgen movement they shouldn't have called that on bull williams that's a defensive line guy making a move and they approach that yeah of encroachment directly across yeah they put that role in play specifically so they can't draw the offensive line off and that's what happened there they should call that a defensive penalty that'll make it second and six [Music] brooks he ends up finding boo williams williams has flipped down on the play gets up and makes a very nice grab the difference in the passing offense from the first half to the second half aaron brooks has time he's got time to find his wide receivers minnesota has gotten a rush in there a couple of times but for the better part in the second half here he has time to find his receivers and that's another advantage of spreading out a defense you eliminate those guys in the box they have to respect receivers on the perimeter i also think it's easier to see a blitz coming when you're in four wides that's right and you see those guys getting a little bit antsy and you just hesitate a little bit at the line the saints have the first down but you hesitate a little bit at the line and you see those creepers coming in off your slot receivers and then you can identify that quicker and get the ball out so that makes a first down for the saints [Music] terrell smith he checks out checks in at the full back position too tight in set this is the big run formation here and it is that's fenderson he gets going north and south and that is a load right now let's head to los angeles jv hey ryan and john take a look you know atlanta needs a victory and a giants loss to get in the playoffs won't happen like this willie williams strips the ball from mike vick and recovers it takes it 25 yards for the score it is now 21-17 seattle on top of the falcons back saron had a humorous john all right jb that's right you know worst thing you do when you need help is to look for that help you better take care of your deal mike vick needs to protect the football that's the biggest criticism on him take care of that ball it's valuable [Applause] horn's going he's fired care of this ball he's out to the 45-yard line and another saints burt's down a pickup of 14. and boo williams is clearing it out for him and horn cuts right up underneath him and that's what aaron brooks sees he's waiting to see what the defensive backs are going to do if they're going to stay with joe horn he goes to boo williams if they stay with bill williams he's going to go with joe horn on the slant you saw they took care of chris hovan in there and what a story joe horn is itawamba junior college in mississippi he was a fry cook for a while went to jc decided he wanted to try out perseverance deuce will get a couple before he's brought down by nick rogers he picked up six 67 stretch they loved that play and you talk about this division john it's amazing tampa bay can't seem to beat new orleans but new orleans can't seem to beat atlanta and atlanta can't seem to beat tampa bay it's perplexing it's a trilogy there they dominate one team and they can't play the other team but i know jim hassler chomping at the big get back at atlanta he wants a shot at him again but it is got plenty of room around the outside and you can see the limp he just has trouble going to certain directions but that's good enough to get another first down and the saints are starting to chew up the clock here in this quarter the viking defense spending a lot of time on the field here in this drive [Music] and all these guys in football are very talented players all the players on these two teams are very talented the challenge is to play football with injuries and to play it well and deuce mcallister is the epitome of that right now this guy's playing with injuries and he's flourishing behind this offensive line he first hurt that ankle about four weeks ago against the atlanta falcons 10th play of the drive and it's another catch this is the rookie stall work and stalwart started slow he came under the wrath of jim hazlett early in the year but he's slowly starting to be a fixture in this offense aaron brooks recognizes coverage when he's dropping back he's looking to the right looking to the right he knows he's got single coverage to the back side he wheels and he fires the stalwart and you see the recognition he's looking he knows he comes back and gets the guy in the slant that has one-on-one coverage the saints in the red area number one in the nfc 60 percent touchdown ratio or percentage this is the fake looking up the field here comes the pressure and brooks will go down lance johnstone they ran the fake to joe horn like that little slip screen where you expect the offensive line to get to him and they ran pathon up the field and nobody bit the defensive backs didn't bite but he could have went right back out the horn because both defensive backs dropped off on pathon if you'd have been patient just stayed with it right after horn horn would have got you 10 yards and we talked about this earlier that's the thing that drives an offensive coordinator crazy you're in field goal range now you take a 9 yard loss and you're going to make it that much harder on a field goal kicker [Music] they're looking at a long second down we'll be back to see if the viking defense can

got questions we've got answered and by american express make life rewarding the previous play was meant for pathon who's right here he's going to run this route joe horn is the fake and they're going to fake it to him and go for paython but payton's covered the two the two receivers they drop back the two defenders and there's horns sitting wide open if you can get him the ball again for a five to seven yard gain he gave up on him and he tried to go to another wide receiver but that was the play out on the left side second down 19. that's pathon in motion identical play to the other side the quick screen the stall was stalwart he did a nice job he got away from about four purple shirts but then the fun ended and beaker smelled it out greg beaker the veteran back there the guy they acquired from oakland he's the guy that smelled it out he saw it he got over quick and he got bypassed here's beaker right here he's going to smell this play out the minute the minute brooks turns he's firing out there and philo he's got a chance to go get him but he passes him up and here's falao not looking he's he's got nobody he's looking around trying to find a guy to block well your guy's beaker you just got to recognize that you got to go get them third and sixteen the ball is cut by pathon let's see if he's inbound the official signals yes he is but it won't be enough for a first down bring on john carney another trip into the red zone another field goal opportunity you can't have this if you're if you're new orleans saints and you're the offensive offense coordinator there's three field goal tries it's no good this is unacceptable you've got to score touchdowns when you have the opportunity so john carney will try from 27 yards he's eight for eight from this distance this year should be a chip shot but you know what they say about those right though i've seen some some chip shots chili dipped in the past not good but this one is and the saints pull within one [Music]

welcome those of you watching the washington philadelphia eagles game we are 24-23 here in new orleans the vikings up by one and the saints just went on a huge drive to put up three points by john carney ron pitts along with john yorkovic and this ball will be taken by tyrone carter he gets blasted around the 18-yard line and here's what's happened so far today we've had some fireworks early by the minnesota vikings early dante culpepper on a quarterback draw runs over a couple of saints and then office scramble finds a way to score a touchdown he's got two rushing touchdowns the michael lewis on the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown jake reed in a two-minute drill scores one right down the center of the field and then randy moff with cedric hodgen coverage touchdown with a few seconds left before the half this will be michael bennett then it started out hot but he's cooled down considerably [Music] we got a couple here's a look at our game summary there dante culpepper came out and the minnesota vikings went into a hurry up offense right off the bat and they got the saints off balance and it took the saints a whole half to recover so to say some time to recover if you look the russian yards for the saints if not for the second half and how good they've been rushing the ball that number would be a lot lower they could not get it started in the first half they've got it started in the second half i'm winding down here in the third quarter this is complete to randy moss moss very close to a first down darren smith along with three others in on the tackle and randy moss has pulled some one-on-one coverage today and he's made the saints pay for it and that's the end of the third quarter the fireworks continue the vikings 24 the saints 23. we'll be back right

keeping you informed and entertained back here in the big easy the saints one point away from the minnesota vikings and jurko we've had a great one here today so far it's been up and down fireworks all day special teams getting involved culpepper really playing well and aaron brooks has really picked it up in the second half as has the new orleans offense first down intends for dante culpepper randy moss at the bottom this is the quick handoff in that hit on klein saucer the fullback and he took a shot he took a shot from the heavy lunch bunch in the middle there grady jackson the norman hand two guys in the middle got a little slant got a little game on in the middle here they're just gonna make things happen you see how he separates between the center and the guard hand gets the penetration in the backfield which is key that makes klein saucer buckle a little bit he has to make his break late he beat corbin lucina the left guard second down and 10. here's the play action fake tomorrow he'll throw complete that's the wayne bates and bates wiggles out across the 35 yard line across the 40. let's see where they mark it they'll mark it just in front of the 40-yard line and it's the first time we hear dwayne bates name today he's their number two receiver they picked him up after the bears waved them they picked up dwayne bates and dwayne bates has yet to develop as that solid number two guy he's got 35 receptions but he's he hasn't taken the pressure off of randy morris third down and one bennett i don't think he got it great initial penetration there by norman hand darren howard ends up with the final stop hand forces the bubble you force the break in the backfield here's the big man watch the penetration wow and then you force the early bubble the early adjustment by michael bennett he has no momentum going forward and he ends up falling short and getting tackled before the first down the heavy lunch bunch they eat salary salad and all that kind of rabbit food to stay under 3 30. they got him listed at 3 10. i almost chuckled when we talked to him he goes 332 and i know i got to add another 20. he's about 350 if he's announced and that's not the atkins diet folks and they're short that'll bring on the punting situation for the minnesota vikings [Applause] a defensive stop for new orleans what you need get the ball back to the offense the offense has been playing well in the second half see if brooks and mcallister and that offensive line can continue michael lewis is deep to receive the kyle richardson pint michael lewis has already returned one kickoff for a touchdown today he's had some nice punt returns as well almost blocked and the saints have been a terror in that area lewis will fair catch the ball at about the 15-yard line and that's where we'll see aaron brooks deuce mcallister and the rest of the saints offense [Music] please tell us please tell us [Music] everybody [Music] look roy jimmy's emailed us pictures

early christmas present from santa the saints are looking for a playoff spot and the vikings well they want a road win they haven't had one in two years they got off to the quick start they wanted the vikings now they've got to find a way to finish they haven't been able to finish this guys [Music] brooks the mcallister mcallister he gets maybe two before he's brought down and once again we'd like to welcome in our audience watching the philadelphia eagles washington redskins game and the new orleans saints they need a win here plus a little help and some of that help comes from philadelphia they get a philadelphia win or a new york giants lost along with their win here and they will earn a playoff spot but you know what they say take care of your house son right now they're down by one and brooks he's down near his own end zone and he just throws it away once once brooks gets out of the pocket he realizes his last resort is to dump the ball again he's looking for receivers who aren't open these guys good comeback routes these are long developing routes and the defensive backs for the minnesota vikings are doing a good job ever since corey chavis has moved to safety this minnesota defensive backfield has been solidified the safety has made the cornerbacks that much better that simple little move willie shaw he's doing backflips over it he's happy there's been a lot of guys do that in the past ronnie lott did it leroy butler did it roy butler did it tyrone braxton did it rod woodson did it and this won't do it aaron brooks remember aaron brooks has been bothered by a bad shoulder for the last two weeks he's had to come out of games early and he doesn't have all the throws in him kenny mixon applied to pressure mixing with the pressure johnstone has done a nice job of getting in there and getting pressure here you see stunts up and down the line of scrimmage brooks stepping up into the pocket can't find a way to get out and mixon puts the final hit on him only the third punt of the day for toby going he'll launch this one away nick davis calls for the fair catch hit the ball that's a free ball somehow davis recovers it loses his shoe and you want to talk about a bad down for davis he can't wait to get off the field minnesota's fortunate but is that jay hayes fault no that's davis fault minnesota got lucky honey i'm stuck in north america would

john yorkovic you know the saints need some help getting into the playoffs today but sometimes you need help just getting into your jersey would you like to have that job that's like an intern a special intern for the jersey stuffer boy the things guys will do to be on an nfl team wash those hands wow good for him the more you can do right but you're versatile hey first down and ten bennett looking for a crease and he'll get increased by dale carter the corner who comes up and makes the play and the intensity has picked up the guys are starting to fly over the field bennett was on the outside there i saw bodies flying everywhere the impact is starting to double up here the playoffs are on the line for the new orleans saints yeah minnesota wants to win this game on the road they want to break that streak it has picked up a pace there's more electricity here and nobody from the nascar division down here wants to have to go up north bay philly they want to stay right down here in these nice warm domes green bay and philly it affects everything second down and nine and the loud is here culpepper in trouble look at the time he's got he's point downfield fires that's complete the moss moss is taken down immediately by darren smith right now let's head to los angeles my man jb young patrick ramsey having an efficient game for the skins 15 of 24 144 yards two touchdowns no pick there's one touchdown here to rod gardner making the 31-14 eagles and then after a 91-yard kickoff return by eddie drummond mike mcmahon on a big leg for the lions detention and the tigers score at 20 and ron i remember john from green bay packer days when he kept us entertained whenever we interviewed him back for ron how about that detroit lion deal looks like daniel base falling asleep home field advantage at stake third down flags are down players stopped and tampa loses the tie breaker to new orleans saints because the saints beat him twice that's right our referee bob mcelwee signals this is against the vikings and this is what mike tice was most worried about especially with his check with me offense the noise the check with me offense and their offensive lineman getting off the ball in passing situations in the first half it almost seemed like the defensive line for the saints hand knew a secret they had a key and they were getting to the quarterback and beat the offensive line off the ball third down and 11. randy moss is up top he's looking throws down complete to the rookie kelly campbell but campbell won't make the first down dale carter the veteran and that's the kind of match-up you want if you're willie shaw the defensive coordinator yeah you want carter out there and rick venturi for the new orleans saints he knows that he has an advantage there against the young kelly campbell he's going to get the job done and they force the punt just short of the first down and he knows dale carter is going to stay close enough to make sure he's short of that first down willie shaw didn't want that on the other side he's a nike's defensive coordinator this will be michael lewis what is michael lewis doing did he touch the ball what is he doing get away from the ball where's the peter peter call that call indicates to all guys get away from the football the new orleans station it should not have been anywhere near that football they lose the ball here well that's that's terrible the official signal that saints football [Music] al everest is going to get his guys together he's going to say where's the peter peter call right now you should be screaming there's a right here mcafee's in trouble he's getting pushed into the ball and you see lewis is trying to help him they're getting shots into it but nobody touched the ball very dangerous [Music] there's something wonderful about a hamburger it's one of the few things that brings so much joy made fresh hot off the grill all juicy and delicious with fresh toppings so it tastes great it

the weather forecast for my next home game yep cold since i logged onto nfl.com i could email my brother i can communicate better with my teammates let me check that one more time oh what do you know michael strahan i found super bowl highlights [Music] owens and fox igniters sunday doubleheader continues next [Music] fox nfl sunday is brought to you by the beers declare your love this christmas we're back here in new orleans the saints still trying to make up that one point on the vikings michael lewis and mcafee discussing the situation that happened and mcafee saying hey it was my fault it was my fault i did not hear the call it looks like we've got a challenge on the field the flag is thrown on the field that's a little red hanky that's no penalty flag that's a red hanky i guess they want to see whether the new orleans saints touched that trying to see if michael lewis touched the football and lewis is trying to get a teammate out of the way but in doing so you can see right here mcafee mcafee getting pushed onto the pile and then hunter goodwin taking a shot at michael lewis to try to get him to touch the ball but there it is right there viking touched the football first so that's where the ball is going to be spotted down well and another thing if you watch mcafee mcafee makes a swat to the ball after lewis crosses it here i think this angle is going to give us the best shot how does mcafee right here touch the ball first well we'll take a look right right there it doesn't happen right there michael lewis does not touch that football he's over the top far enough away he never touches it now here's the second oh it's rolling now there's a shove his hand was the second one on not the first one we can replay that up a little bit his was the second one on intriguing this is a this is an interesting challenge and i wonder if they're going to allow the challenge there's another let's watch chris walsh here here's walsh pushed out here's walsh he's getting pushed out the first hand on is the viking hand and mcafee goes and touches on top of the viking game i think that's clear i think they're trying to tell mike tyse right now that this isn't reviewable he's not going to get a chance to see this play and i think coach tice is getting some bad advice from upstairs because you really have to see a new orleans saint touch this football for you to challenge it [Music] that the ball was first touched by a kicking team player which awards the ball to the receiver well i have a i have a feeling bob mcelwain's going to be there for about a half hour because she you really got to dissect some angles clearly that ball was not touched here's the first by louis you're right it was not touched by michael lewis period the only guy that might touch it is fred mcafee when he puts his hand down now let's see if it's illegally touched here by chris walsh because if it is and the saints wouldn't the saints wouldn't lose the ball they don't have a risk of losing it if it's illegally touched that's when your blue beanbag would fly out okay no touch i can't tell there yeah it doesn't look like he touched if he touched it walsh would have picked it up right away because you know you pick it up you hand it to the official he's been around long enough he's a veteran he's not going to let something roll when he knows michael lewis might be able to pick it up again it wasn't touched there now there is the first hand it's the left hand of the minnesota viking player [Music] willie offered is the hand that flies on first he's pushing fred mcafee here and now there's the left hand from willy alfred that goes flying down here you see it right here [Music] mcafee almost made a big mistake michael lewis trying to help his buddy fred mcafee and be a good teammate he wants to push him out of the way he almost kicks the ball but then mcafee sees the ball get touched and he goes in after he should have just removed himself from the situation and where is the most basic call the peter call the minute michael lewis sees he's not going to handle the ball he starts screaming out peter peter peter there should not be a new orleans saint within 20 yards of that football you scatter you get out of the way absolutely these guys have done this long enough once again we'd like to welcome in those watching the redskins eagles game and bob mcelwee after reviewing the play the ball was first touched by the kicking team on the 26 yard line a timeout will be charged to minnesota it's the receivers fall first down on the 26-yard line and the reason for the call is once it's touched by the kicking team it's gone down as an illegal touch and the receiving team does not have a chance to lose the ball they can't lose the football anytime you're going to challenge you're you're you're waiting from advice from upstairs from the guys that are seeing the replays and that play should have never been challenged for minnesota you lose a timeout you have two in a very tight ball game down the road here later in the fourth quarter in the two-minute drill this could cost you down the road you have to be 100 sure if you're going to challenge a play and from all the replays ron you and i saw we saw no touching of the football but you couldn't tell it was not clear visual evidence let's say that oh yeah that man right there he didn't know that ball was touched either and neither did michael look they were just trying to get out of the way they were in a bad situation and they were trying to just go just this if that's all you can do at this point is laugh about it if barbara eden was there they would have crossed their arms and just blinked their eyes and gotten out of there but you better call for dr bombay yeah almost a catastrophic situation for the new orleans saints got to switch over to bewitched man you need more help than barbara that's when you need the zoo to pop up over your shoulder anyway it's first and ten for the saints let's a little bit even though he's had some nice runs he's still not a hundred percent tackled by lorenzo ramel and it's hurting mcallister just in the cutting because we saw some some breakaway speed when he busted that big run that got called back by a penalty but he's got the speed but just the change of direction is what's really hurting him now and anytime he's got a juke a defensive player that's come free he can't do it second down in nine brooks checking the play at the line of scrimmage he's got time on the play clock and it looks as though the saints are just gonna go into uh i don't know why they do it into some kind of clock eating mode anyway let's go down to the sidelines our sideline reporter joe trahan has some info joe thanks so much ronnie before that challenge situation an interesting moment on the vikings bench head coach mike tice called his entire offense together he said guys let's simply clean up the mistakes and give our playmaker a chance to do what he does best and then he pointed at randy moss we'll see if that has an effect later in the game guys back to you all right joe and i go along with that because that is your playmaker and he's caught a big one today in the man coverage with a linebacker but you can't force it you can't force it to randy you choose your situations when he's in one-on-one coverage lined up in the slot that was a great play that was a fantastic play that's good utilization of randy moss but don't force it into it i'm not sure i understand those last two plays by the saints this will bring up third and seven brooks looking over the middle it's caught that's and pathon is across the 50-yard line that wouldn't make sense three wide receivers to the right side it almost looked like they ran a triple slant force the defensive backs in the conflicts of assignment here's pathan the middle receiver you see the triple slant people have to make decisions defensive backs have to make decisions brooks with the good read finds pathon first down now they got a no huddle offense working they're hoping to catch minnesota by surprise first and ten the vikings bring up an eight-man front it looks as though nixon came early flags are down [Music] yeah they call the offsides can he mix them coming off the corner [Applause] five yards first down right now let's return to los angeles james brown has this update ron and john i tell you patrick ramsey continues to do a nice job starting today play action hooking up with darius thompson nice title job there as well washington trying to make a game of it trailing by 10. that was six left in regulation back to ron and john all right jb well we've got those watching watching the washington philadelphia game but i'm not sure how long will happen if that score keeps up jake reed tyrone carter now they're back into just their normal offense they're going to huddle up they're going to go with a little bit of a a no huddle and they're going to try to go at it i thought after the timeout or after the penalty they're going to go back into a huddle that they're doing now if you're not going to catch them by surprise you're not going to catch them in bad personnel you might as well huddle up and get on the same page offensively 7 12 left in the fourth quarter you've only got a handful of possessions left you've got to make them count the saints have to find a way to get the lead second down and two two tight ends on the field for the saints they'll go with the throw that's horn and it's incomplete nice coverage on the play by the rookie brian williams at the cornerback and that could have been a sight adjustment between brooks and horn brian williams might have been a little offered they were expecting him to bail well he didn't bail he was right there in position to make a play and joe horn knew it and horn took his eye off the ball looking at the defensive back and dropped that one that's what you call collarbone and joe horn knew it was coming third down and two [Music] this will be mcallister mcallister he breaks two tackles and there it goes turns the corner and he picks up the first down a huge first down and he holds up the cheerleader on the sideline he does it all hoeven in a position to make a play mixon in a position to make a play mcallister this is the difference this is this is it this is the running back players on the field making plays that's perfectly coached players are there they're in position to make plays but he busts through all the tackles and mcallister makes the play 16 yards on the pickup for mcallister he's got 72 yards on the day here come the vikings bluff inside with the blitz this is going outside in and out of the hands of dante's stall worth the rookie and we've got a flag down this is a personal foul against the vikings could be roughing the passer looked like charlie got into john stone and he reacted to what turley there's no foul unnecessary roughness 51 defense half the distance to the goal line that's against lance johnstone looks like john stone's getting a little fiery there but it's turley who's blocking him he's on johnstone johnstone's he ends up making the play get into the quarterback but roughs him late and this is the time of the game that viking fans have learned to hate the last eight minutes [Music] the vikings have squandered leads in the fourth quarter all season long mccallister will get rolled up and pushed back by the purple shirts flatstone in on the tackle along with bromell and what happens over the course of the season you start losing games late where you have leads you start losing games late it becomes a pattern it becomes a tendency you get into the fourth quarter and you almost you almost start thinking about hey how are we going to lose this game that mindset somewhere back in the subconscious and here again one key penalty roughing the passer puts the ball in the red zone for the new orleans saints coming up next a look at our doubleheader a couple action ones especially out in san francisco the packers and the niners this is brooks brooks intended for stallworth i don't know if stallworth was supposed to sit down or what aaron brooks was going backwards when he threw the ball never planted stallworth is hey it's my fault i should have stopped i should have read the defense and i should have squatted for you again red zone they're bogging down in the red zone the new orleans saints this is their fifth trip into the red zone they've got three field goals one touchdown they've got to find a way to come out with a touchdown to put some space on the vikings and coming into this game they were number one in the nfc in red zone third and thirteen four wide outs on the field brooks he's got a man that's complete that's mcallister get in the end zone he does [Applause] and the saints pull ahead and they're going for two and this is the time jim hazard should go for two he pulls his card out all the time any time for two points but this is the correct use he's going for two trying to make it a seven point difference mcallister was out on the perimeter he was open he was there he was one of the late reads for aaron brooks he got it out there and again mcallister making the plays there were defenders out there they just did not make the plays for minnesota [Music] one wide receiver in the game he's up top empty backfield as mcallister motions out he goes brooks throws got a man that's horn and horn gets his feet in and that's two more joe horn runs the fade stopped in the corner looks like he's going to go to the corner of the end zone and he just hits the brakes does a little push off on brian williams and makes the catch inbounds with two feet down under control he's been banged up he's got turf burns all over his arms but he comes back and makes the big plays for this thing [Applause] and here's another look at the touchdown by mcallister see mcallister set out right he's just going to go out and skate into the flag aaron brooks starts to scramble and there just overrun by brian williams and greg greeker brewer trying to fight off the block can't make it find his way into the end zone he vaults himself into the end zone that ankle's not hurt when you're playing on adrenaline like that you know what that's just a great effort i mean he puts the ball out there he puts the body out there puts the ankle on the line to come down with the points it's beat up remind me a little of that more touchdown catch against the new york jets way back when he's a little helicopter he did kind of a half a helicopter and the party is beginning to start here in new orleans remember they need to win and then they need a little help they need the eagles win or a win along with a giants loss we'll get them in the playoffs the vikings scored 24 first half points they've yet to get on the scoreboard here in the second half and they've had opportunities they've had possessions they just can't get it done i think the vikings defense has been on the field way too long in the second half they went on an eight minute drive there that was just unbelievable tyrone carter is deep to receive the kick it's the short one he'll take it at the 10 yard line breaks two tackles breaks another set of tackles and muscles it out to the 26 yard line [Music] taking a look at some of the scores from around the league the redskins trying to fight back seattle and atlanta seattle given atlanta all they can handle tampa bay got three on detroit and they clinch with the win atlanta could also clinch today but they're not taking care of business [Applause] a dog fight up there in buffalo there's surprising play action pass the climb saucer he's hit immediately but he makes a nice gain brought down by linebacker darren smith a pickup of seven and you'll notice sense urgency with minnesota's possession they're not guaranteed to position possessions this may be the one possession they have to find a way to get down and score so they're going to be careful with this they're going to make sure they communicate up and down the line saints defensive coordinator rick venturi trying to get his unit to hold the vikings second down and three whole pepper he's out of the pocket trying to throw but he'll go down willie whitehead not a sack it was a two-yard gain setting up a third in short situation you can see new orleans just getting ready to rush the passer and they're ready to go after it whitehead comes out of the pile helps make the play third short is four down territory you've got to go for it here third down and one randy moss is in the slot at the bottom of your screen empty back with five wide receivers in the game quick toss looking for randy moss moss has it makes a move and that's enough for the first down what a gutsy pass it looked as though they weren't going to get it out to moss well dwayne bates throws a cut block on dale carter it looked early to me but the play comes out to randy moss and the ball is almost too far and randy moss has come up big that's a pickup of nine he's got nine texas for 89 yards and one touchdown [Applause] it's first down two tight ends in the game for minnesota paul pepper will go and he's got plenty of room before he takes the slide at the 43-yard line jackson in hand both went and they rushed in the b gaps they got pushed out wide everything opens up for dante culpepper whether you you get 15 yards passing or you get 15 yards running the bottom line is you're getting the 15 yards that you need you're moving the ball downfield putting yourself in a situation where you can score a touchdown defensive lineman have to be more disciplined for the new orleans saints the old road losses of bugaboo for the minnesota vikings the last two years first down quick throw inside i don't know how he made it because fred thomas was all over him bates had to find a way to get inside he's at the top of the street and there he is he makes the cut thomas is there thomasina fears and bait still comes down with the catch and there were no flags flying to bail out baits it in second down in one hit immediately that's bennett and darren howard will step away they can't get me hotter than this folks fox nfl sunday is brought to you by budweiser delivering beer at its best with the crisp clean and refreshing taste known only to the king of beers [Music] behind the scenes to get it right from the pigskin makers to the hat man the special teams in the big game plan this is for the

howard beats brian mckinney on the inside on this play take a look he's going up takes him and gets him inside and right at michael bennett and mckinney was caught looking into the ball looking for the snap because he can't hear the stamp and he complained about that last night third and five vikings have only turned over one of these this quarter this is moss moss has it and he'll flip it over dale carter on the coverage key third down conversion and they've gone to moss all day on third down conversions [Music] randy moss has been big and speaking of big we've got big games coming up the packers and the 49ers the giants along with the cowboys this is first and ten ball on the 27-yard line three wide receivers still in the game plenty of time complete over the middle that's moe williams and williams is knocked down immediately it almost looks like that was a predetermined pass to moe williams the wide receivers were just kind of jogging down the field yeah they're just trying to do a nice conservative play and get some positive yardage we're down under two minutes here clock is moving second [Music] [Music] and chamberlain is going to kick himself for that one right in his hands he finds the void in the zone culpepper's looking for him they're inching toward the goal line and there it is trying to do too much with it trying to do too much with it trying to get out of bounds that position is a tight end catch it get down get back to the huddle you can see the play drive by the vikings [Applause] third down and four randy moss is down at the bottom but we've got a timeout by culpepper what are these magic business binoculars how do they work you look through them you see the future of business wow the future sure looks different what do you see it's a 3d holographic projection of the world to come things move fast everything's integrated everything works in real time how do we get everything to work [Music] i don't know it says i need another quarter

monday is the season for peace and good will toward men there's a hotel on beacon hill get a room and i'll meet you there at four o'clock be there for a special holiday boston public mr hanson thank you i didn't do anything yet yes you have an all-new episode 8 7 central fox monday it's on now third and four randy moss is in the slot this is called pepper throws byron chamberlain comes down with this one and he's still going chamberlain muffled his way all the way down to the six yard line only one timeout left they want to down the ball here they want to clock it it's being kicked around there's a penalty the saints kicked the football when the referee had placed it down they're going to stop the clock now delay again number 20 defense half the distance to the goal line and they're going to get the ball closer to the goal line that was jay bellamy to play the vikings scored on earlier it's the quarterback draw they like the quarterback draw when they're inside the five yard line with dante culpepper even if you've got a guy assigned to him they figure either he could juke him or he could shake the tackle get into the end zone three wide outs one tied in moss at the bottom here's the play looking to randy moss randy moss has it a flag is down let's see what it is push off against randy moss pass interference you're going up against the veteran there and let me tell you i don't know how many times you're going to see that one call yeah not many the offensive benefit they were looking for that pass interference number 84. they're either looking forward it was blatant and here's dale carter he's a veteran of this league and the first thing randy does is come put his hands on him and then he pushes off before he goes up i gotta tell you though i've been involved and seen a lot worse than that it was right in front of the official and that's the official that made the holding call that nullified the earlier touchdown by deuce mcallister that'll make it first and goal ball pushed back to the 13. the saints move early this could be a free play for dante and he can't get it off right now let's go back to los angeles and james brown iran trailing by a touchdown with under two minutes to play michael vick five of nine seventy seven yards including that 12 yard strike for trevor galer the title and descendant and the ot all knotted at 24 wow and john well i'll tell you what we're coming around turn four here in this nascar division and it can't get any hotter take a look here's the offsides just trying to time it up just trying to time it up you don't time it up too well trying to guess charles grant the rookie comes off georgia yep comes off the field after you make a mistake like that don't make it first and goal looks like somebody went early in going to moss that one's too high there's a lot of hand fighting a lot of contact between moss and dale carter and you're going to get that in the nfl between receivers and you're right somebody from the saints went again went early again they didn't call it yeah darren howard on the top side he's got a jump he's got an unbelievable jump take a look he's just flying and it looks like he's timed it up he times it up well on the perimeter the stamp is going mckinney's just not getting off the ball second in goal looking for boss a quick turn around and it's deny and there are no flags [Applause] i didn't like that throw at all that one might have been able to get picked that's a very dangerous throw going across the field with the corner that far off he's looking directly at culpepper and urban he's going to make an interception for you you got to throw that ball low and away you got to throw it almost at the pylon away from but the corner back is waiting you gotta run that slant you gotta find something else besides that play third and goal boss remains at the top there goes howard [Applause] [Music] they call it on the offense corbin lucina gets a little hiccup right here let's take a look it's just a little bit he wants to go up a little early yep he went that could be a benefit that could be a benefit give yourself a little bit more room you can run a couple of different routes to get into the end zone third down and goal ball pushed back to the 13. another shot in the end zone double cover but randy moss comes down with it unbelievable [Music] that's what you need you need those guys there and the vikings have at first signaled two that they're going for two points the kick team started to come on the field they went back and the minnesota vikings are going for two forget the tie they're on the road they've got nothing to lose they want the victory it sends a great sign to your team we want the win five seconds left this is for the win for all intents and purposes the play clock running culpepper making an audible drops the ball picks it up he's going to go in for and he will make it [Applause] gets two and the viking sideline has gone nice they waited for the qb no flags down the quarterback draw they ran on the two-point conversion they love it down here the ball hits the ground it's fumbled they still get it in mike tyce a gamble but a calculated gamble because his team has not won on the road in a long time he's not playing for the tie he's going for the win and he told us last night i got to send a message i got to tell this team that we're looking for next year we're improving now for the future and what a play by dante everything that could have gone wrong went wrong in that play the late audible he drops the ball picks it up and he just makes it happen and now his mom and a relative have another ball we'll be back [Music] the phrase average joe was coined for a reason joe's a guy who wears a shirt that says joe on it joe doesn't steal the girl he's the guy you pal around with but not since the playoffs now joe's a bachelor from alabama who changes everything joe's a guy who carries new york city on two bad knees and guarantees victory joe's not just a name it's an idea fathers expect more from a kid named joe that's how big the playoffs are they took the name joe and made it joe [Music] culpepper takes the snap but it's a snap that's on the ground everything that should that goes wrong goes wrong but this is the touchdown pass to randy moss what happened sammy knight gets turned around he runs to randy martin the play is going to go to the corner he ends up wheeling back around with his back to the quarterback randy moss was the only guy that could see the football and dale carter was expecting inside help which sammy knight was there but he got wheeled around and turned around you have to know how to beat double coverage and he did michael lewis he's going to make this the last play and that's it no attempted lateral nothing and the saints they leave the playoff door open and the minnesota vikings have gotten rid of the two-year road loss jinx [Music] any any chance whatsoever gone for a home field advantage [Music] wildcard game two coming up next the packers and the 49ers or the giants and the cowboys so long from new orleans folks sports thank you for watching this
