Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Oakland Raiders 12.9.18

famed nominee Chris Spielman and Shannon's fake I'm Thom Brenneman welcome to the NFL on Fox let's start with the Raiders Jon Gruden ten years away from coaching they bring him in for a second go-around trying to build this thing from the ground up well you look at John and we talked to him yesterday he feels a tremendous responsibility to get this going they do have the cornerstone in place in that staircar derrick karr actually is coming off his best game since he's teamed up with Bruton last week see if they can carry it over today when you talk about a coach in a cornerback combination how many have been better in the history of football than Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin trying to get to the playoffs yet again well Ben Roethlisberger is something and he's got to be maybe a little bit more because they lost James Garner right so look for Jalen Samuels is even Ridley to replace James Connor but look this offense the playoffs playoffs start today he understands that the offense that revolves around hidden in his right arm well you don't hear about scoreboard mark watching much in football but by the way the Ravens are still playing in overtime against the Kansas City Chiefs and you can bet the Steelers know about that let's go downstairs to Shannon hey there tom so speaking of the Steelers a win here today would certainly check some boxes big picture maybe another win and push them one step closer to the playoffs it's more the personal box he would like to check off because this is the only stadium in the AFC where he has not won a game he is the one who told us that he also told us that not only has he not won a game here but he hasn't played very well here in the past that is something that is on his mind certainly something that's on the minds of the Raiders because as you mentioned top they are looked in for the big spoil well that they are and just moments ago Reggie Jackson mr. October of course an incredible run for the Oakland Athletics and it later the New York Yankees among others in lighting the out Davis torch [Applause] we are underway and the Raiders will get the football this is Dwayne Harris and he's out across the 25 that's Pittsburgh won the toss and deferred to getting the football come the second half so here comes Derek Carr 27 years young grew up in Bakersfield California played collegiately at Fresno State has not thrown an interception in his last seven games after some very early and costly picks the first six weeks he talked to us yesterday about settling in with job group let's put the bowl with all the audibles much more freedom at the line of scrimmage put there at the right play wondering if Doug Martin will be able to go today with an injured knee he gets a football up first down and a good powerful strong run a gain of nine against the Steeler defense the main man in this offense for the Oakland Raiders has been their tight end Jared Jared cookies having a great year yeah he's having a Pro Bowl year 42 his teammates and staff really a good target they like to do this spread him out wide get him and one on top matchups that's what we're talking about he has much more freedom to on applies and put that on the rice play at the line of scrimmage such a man gonna join for the first time looking for Clifton areas penalty flag comes down the reception is made and the Steelers are saying that cook pushed off to get open [Applause] he's working on lj4 that's why we circled him John grooves to put him out space especially if you can get him one-on-one with a linebacker Derek Carr will see that in isolate that and make sure that he gets his guy chance to make the play there is no foul for defensive pass interference all the completed catch Roberto referee today and ok there's a reason why we certainly he checked out he saw the matchup you saw the island walk the line of scrimmage it's a perfectly thrown football the Jared cooks who has the ability in the height to go over up the smaller LJ fort great play great start aggressive play Colin being a 30 on a completed fails - Jared club event field at the Steelers 35 yard line quick slant and once more it is cooked down in the 15 another Oakland first down what a start for the Raiders on his opening drive now they're playing zone and again working cook in a slot so you can say tight end I'm going to say about 80% of time means a wide receiver job Bostick has a responsibility of not letting him across his face the strengths of cook is able to run through Bostick in that zone coverage and Carr delivers a great pass some easy transition from catch to run we'll be focused in is always a : blitzberg for nothing 41 sacks with his team of defense moves to the NFL and the Raiders have given up nearly 40 on a first down carry it's Martin inside the 15 down to the 11th Steelers overall the number 7 right defense in the NFL and they've got playmakers everywhere they do on all three levels force Cameron Heyward really steady inside Hargrave that's four sacks last three games pj walked with attend sacks breaking it for another first down to the three yard line is central Roberts they were wondering if he was going to play you today after suffering a concussion this week but it's first at goal laters on this opening drive watch one number 90 out here in space he feels like he's getting held good play call again get the ball out in a hurry let your playmakers make plays and Seth Roberts good run after catch guy awesome [Applause] there's dad a goal to give it to Martin and the former two-time Pro Bowler is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer really resurrecting his career getting another chance with these Raiders he's already run for more yards and had more attempts then the second time he went to the Pro Bowl with the Bucs and that's all the way in 2015 and john bruton of course lived in tampa for a long time multivator that relationship with duck bark had a chance to bring him here to Oakland and loves what he's brought to his offense the one thing about Doug Martin we get honest day's work he's gonna fight claw for every single yard and Finch on that football field well they bring in extra offensive linemen [Applause] and they also bring in the defensive tackle Clinton McDonald on the second and goal from just outside the one named John Bruton we'll spend a timeout and were right back after this message from Bo's [Applause] [Music] maybe 55 years young boy in Sandusky Ohio grew up in South Bend Indiana played college football - University of Dayton and now in his second go-round with the Raiders was here from 98 to 2001 you see the red zone so far this year second down and goal [Applause] place to the goal line no signal given yet and apparently he comes up just short I mean inches away from a touchdown we call timeout what they did was they brought their regular offense in they went to a spread formation hopefully to create some type of Lane that did not work out so now a third down he said the heck with it we're changing personnel get we're bringing everybody big and we're just gonna find out who's tough line up and cried out who's tough Marcus Koloff way third and goal a tale of this opening drive it again waiters tried to give up okay over-the-top penny is in for the touchdown Oakland Raiders [Applause] [Music] what a start who's going to win the load man will win if you're able to stop penetration by the front as his dealer self somebody jumped they did not Steeler guys are too hot and you're not able to get any penetration beyond that line of scrimmage Doug Martin has a free jump over the goal line great opening drive tone Center building off some of the success if they have offensively last week now the point after want to find a Daniel Carson has turned out to be that one right down the middle after Minnesota cut him loose earlier this year he is finding a home in Oakland and what a start for the hometown Raiders by the new system looking box only at Burger King just in a final Kansas City wins in overtime beating Baltimore when the day began the Steelers had a half game lead over the Ravens in the AFC north and a shocking loss today by New England that continues to open the door for Kansas City home-field advantage in the AFC postseason Switzer losing his footing and he's just short of the 25 yard line and here comes one of the all-time greats 36 years young grew up in Findlay Ohio but with all the wins under his belt has only been a hundred and forty two of them he's never won a game here in Oakland he's certainly aware that he addressed that on our conference call yesterday he understands like we said in the open his playoffs the Steelers playoff start today in 2004 draft Roethlisberger out of Miami of Ohio and we're going to be calling his name a lot today filling in for the injured James Conner his Jalen Samuels and even though he's never been a primary lead running back even going back to his college days at NC State he is a guy that finds the endzone and fortunately he gets to run behind a pretty good offensive line and Mike Talman talked about how excited he was the see the change sandals can do with his opportunity touch the ball every day the former number one pick of the leaders way back twin remember that back in 2009 did not fall Bartel leave this excellent job of doing your responsibilities every big fence has somebody that's responsible for the outside Lee doesn't go for anything takes care of his job his responsibilities first nothing gets outside of him you saw our teen number 99 go inside the outside great discipline play by Lee [Applause] texaco one time the second play of the game they put it in his hands a loss of seven and now third down at 18 in the office burger yatta thrown catch by juju Smith sister his 89th tension this season well he's company right number 23 Nick Nelson Snickle linebacker in the confidence to make this grow and understand that I want to throw a 50/50 ball and I'm going to have confidence not only my offensive line my arm but my guy uh drew Smith Shuster covered Nick Nelson doesn't see the ball this guy goes up and makes a great play but the clock goes for Big Ben to throw that into traffic he doesn't care that's why though he's gonna throw up like his guy making play Stanford initially it seemed too late wide open Antonio of course one of the game's all-time greats and this Raider defense has struggled mightily year-long only ten sacks from this group this year yeah and you look at the half guys that are in and out of the lineup and signing guys this week but you know what the one thing I like about them they play really it helps to pee [Applause] which their team at this point sex the waiters have to [Applause] how about that check from the youngster Samuels we checked him with our good friend back in Los Angeles charissa Thompson hi Karissa hi Tom Thank You Chiefs Ravens tied at 24 and overtime Harrison buckler hits the 35-yard field goal rg3 in fur and injured Lamar Jackson Pass falls incomplete on 4th and 22 Chiefs winning Lynch Tom Chris and Shannon [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it's for Pittsburgh blitz coming Steelers picked it up and into traffic but this time it's into complete looking for Smith Shuster again well it's old coverage right here beds going to buy time with his feet Schuster does a good job of finding an area to zone to sit it down and just a good break on the ball by morale and pressure was created by Paul Gunther by bringing Carl Joseph so if you're not getting pressure with your defense line let's add safeties to the mix it's a little bit of a zone blitz concept right there that worked out well for the Raiders very puts a foot on it favorable bounce down inside the 10-yard line 35 yards off the great start that's our thing look at this guy - the chinstrap legendary Steeler Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls with Pittsburgh in a 1989 Pro Football Hall of Fame how about that don't chintz for that well Terry's tough enough he had strong enough to handle those hits [Applause] sunshine peeking through what has been a cloudy morning and this is Martin another good run up to the 19 yard line but game nine a Thomas dealers I look for keys right look at the foot of Brandon Parker when it's run he's even when it's past his foot will be back and also the alignment of Doug Martin when Doug Martin's behind David Carr that's run when he's even with David Carr that's passed out of a single set shotgun so what you can do as a defense is you can help if you see that you make them rabbit call to pick up the first down South Carolina State what a find he was in the third round two years ago he's solid inside but I'm just talking about little keys that you could look for and Brandon Parker being a rookie you know the one thing he's worried about his speed so when he's past protecting he gets that right foot way back behind him to allow him to get out and get depth on his past possession I see that right foot pass Oh fake flag down what a reception that was made by Derek carrier only his sixth of the year but again we wait on the penalty play and I just want to tell you well how did how that effects because you can you can be the guy playing over Brandon Parker illegal formation by the office number 75 was lined up in the backfield 5-yard penalty replay first night's grand and so you what she can do is alert your defense alert your pass rushers if you see that right foot back that tells these guys no run getting past rush mode if that right foot is easy even then you slow down your pass rush and you look for them to run the ball and right now that's beholding pretty true now if I had to guess here see him set that right foot well it's obviously empty set so we're gonna get a pass to make yourself look at I mean finish in three empty backfield a message about the bombs one pump fake again and now car is dropped Stefon tip this for set to the year number 42 for the Steelers defensively on the year well I'll tell you it's a bonus right now if you're only rushing three and getting eight and you're getting sacks in three because Pittsburgh likes to blitz so much and bring five or more that time they showed the Blitz backed off forced car to pull the ball down and allow to it to get a coverage sack with great effort and hustle I want to go back to this thing go with you on Brandon Parker I mean if you're the Raiders would you not have picked up on that or a dress because Martin was behind Dave the card can you do that to allow him to time up the handoff between David Carr and if you go back to that you will see Brandon Parker's foot was square or closer to his left foot that's Rashard excuse me but see that foot now that hips closed in that foots air run run run everybody play run disregard any pass rush you may have that way without those pass rushers you close down any railings by getting up the field [Applause] well short of the first down on a completion self robbery so the penalty really backed him up along with a sack the Steelers defense will get off the field and should get good field position yeah they realize the game started right and let's go sometimes when you come out the West Coast Raiders did a good job of punching in the mouth Derek Carr did a great job of leading them down the field the first series now can they capitalize on field position the Townsend he struggled this year backing up Switzer all the way to the 25 second time he's lost his footing on a return today and he is slammed down at the 30 Steelers will get the ball back after he defensive stop trailing 7 nothing in America's game of the week or if you grew up watching the NFL 1970s from 1974 through 1986 of the seven Superbowl champions during that timeframe [Applause] they've only played 22 times in the regular season but it does seem like for years and years they were playing every other week great games great names great players Samuel Sawicki on first down the games of three it's all about the players I have no doubt about it I mean this you think of coaches Jack Jack Ham Jack Lambert Jack Tatum so George Acton sent off field the very beginning to do where's the Cochise set go [Applause] that roof it makes his home to Caesarea suck you down in seven waffles [Applause] it is a title Jesse James to the Raider 42 yard line Big Ben kills his he has all kinds of time you can work that scramble they're hard to cover let's go to charissa Thompson in Los Angeles thanks Tom charges up seven three on the bangles when Philip River hands it off to Austin Eckler takes it into five yards out charges up in this one 14 Tom Preston nothing 57 for me to completion to James [Applause] Senate display the Samuel nearly runs into his own man the center marquise Pouncy but a good picked up on first down and let's go downstairs to Shannon yes I'm just an update from the Steeler sideline you did see Ryan Switzer slip on the field a couple times you guys have mentioned that he came over to the side special teams coach Danny Smith not happy they kept pointing at his shoes and they have sent some equipment managers or equipment guys back to the locker room to grab some different cleats so we'll definitely watch that just to add to that shin and that stuff needs to be figured out the pregame wastin time and the shoes when the game started they could to say this quick slant and the catch is made by James Washington he's giving him a big time chance right now after the injury last week to justin honorees the number two round pick decorated college career at Oklahoma State Ben Roethlisberger called him out a couple of weeks ago on what should have been a touchdown reception against Denver he was inactive last week and that is just his night catch of the year well he also built him up and then talked about how he threw the ball extra to James in practice the show that Neal still has trust in him to make the play [Applause] Steven Ridley touching the ball for the first time since that critical fumble he had in that win against Cleveland midseason and it's the first time he's touched it since a week 10 game against Carolina that route of the patches barely those are new cleats that piece you got some shoot problems that's why they bring in three bags fill the pleats it's not a bad deal yeah gotta figure that out of proving though yeah [Applause] Sandhills again what - he is a load Sanders he goes six feet nearly 230 pounds he was at a touchdown machine and a pass catching machine converted fullback tight in there now filling dick shoes and James Connor yeah remember look at North Carolina State he had a game for career-high 12 carats right so he's good to be counted on a lot bigger lot very versatile Raiders and Steelers at the end of the opening quarter [Music] America's for major sports to have three or fewer head coaches / managers in a 50 year span you go back to 69 Chuck Noll built our Mike Tomlin Connie back the Philadelphia's won five World Series spanning 50 years up over the success of the Stila franchise staggered [Applause] Vance McDonald the former 49er having the best year of his career converts for a first down inside the 20 well there's a little miscommunication in the back end Ben Roethlisberger saw the late communication between the safeties so coverage is late he late coverage came right here he's he's too far off in Gilcrest allowed too much room for Vance McDonald who highlight he turns into a classic after he catches the ball he's the leader when something over when throw it over just go through for the 49ers since coming to the Steelers he's become a big target Stephen Whitley on the carry dropped for a loss of a yard good job by Justin Ellis coming off an injury played a little bit last week and coach Gruden talked about he should help our interior running game makes a great play right here just the penetration inside Justin Ellis coming off the double-team not quitting when he goes to his knees and get the TfL tap [Applause] by Antonio Brown and he's inside the 15 to the 14 round at the monster first half last week condemned lost to San Diego a hundred seventeen receiving yards in the first half he wound up with 10 catches for 154 going over the 1000 yard receiving mark for a sixth straight year in a stealer record seventh they know how to finish in the hair circuit Debbie 7% [Applause] getting better I've done that this year [Applause] maybe dad well first Burger gets it away inside the five dab in a tube first hit goal stealers it's amazing what speed does speed brings respect Garioch collie nice cushion he's gonna backpedal off of this because he's worried about Antonio Brown and that's just an easy out route in a timing route because of the cushion by Gary on Conley that's pitching catch and that's all day for brown and Roethlisberger they'e 12 this will be the 11th play of his drive which began packed into stealers 33 Anna Steelers rules kind of timeout first and goal Roethlisberger and company looking to tie it up in Oakland [Music] Roosevelt Knicks move back checking in for the Steelers former defensive lineman at Kent State vote flushed 45 Steven Ridley behind him in the first down in bowl they give it to Whitley and he will find the endzone the Steelers touchdown for Ridley [Applause] that's his first touchdown out of this season [Applause] and his first rushing touchdown since the end of last year well Stephen really is not going to make a lot of people miss he's a one cut runner meaning getting north and south as quickly as possible mixed with a good lead block right there and Ridley I love how he gets that little hop step right there to clear his feet and find his way into the end zone nice response by the Steelers never since Ridley had that fumble we mentioned earlier against Cleveland he has only played in one game what were the last five in fact he had not played at all the last three weeks now with the injury to Connor getting playing time an early touchdown at the point after is goodbye Boswell who's this five of those this year so no guarantee Raiders Steelers seven seven in Oakland most people think about even if you're a hardcore Raiders fan in this story rivalry and you say story robbery again it's not like they played a year a year they just had so many great teams roughly the same time Harris coming up together a good return out across the 28 goes to the 30-yard line 72 AFC divisional game Oakland and Pittsburgh Franco Harris picked that baby off the ground ran into the game-winning touchdown 13 to 7 end up the Immaculate reception to started a little wobbly and before the game today how about this Franco Harris and filled double P&O former great Raider linebacker coming out of the field together regularise one of the nicest men I've never met a great guy love toss a football with Franco first down down the hill and that's Jordy Nelson coming off a big time game where he in ten catches 97 yards his highest total since week three the big breakout game against Miami he's been battling a lot of injuries you talk about Jordy Nelson where he can be effective right there that play-action game and something that the Raiders offense wants to improve upon executed perfectly can he best time to run play-action first down right 50/50 run pass well done takes a little pressure off those rookie offensive tackle about 232 straight pass attempts click my car smothered with the line of scrimmage by Jay Barnhart Martin talked about growing up back in Ohio and then later South Bend Indiana and he said it brings me back to my childhood when I fell in love with the game of football watching the Raiders and the Steelers play I think a lot of people feel that way the world the elite cheering cook back wine because it's a lack of confidence in your coverage skills but you're playing so far off Jaret cook is going to happen the easy run you're going to give them a free release inside there's no help inside you're late on a break of the football and car with tempos getting in some type of rhythm now the Jared Cook is a guy that you have to account for that's enough a first down and Martin staying on his feet picks up a hard-earned three I love the way Jon Gruden and Derek are operating right now they're going a little bit of tempo you get the Steelers worked a little bit get them thinking and you can get at the line of scrimmage now they're huddling up but at the fact that they go tempo is good for them allows car to survey the field get a pre snap read and put them in the right plate call because he doesn't have that ability and freedom to make the call at the line of scrimmage and change of play [Applause] four identities second down and eight the line of scrimmage like - it got a pod but a good player for this team second-round pick in 2014 on a Notre Dame good players understand in this situation if you're coming on a blitz in a good pass rusher takes his eyes off the offensive lineman gets them on the quarterback understands he's not getting there but get the hands in the air to block it so you don't put on the play to finish the play to leave you're not getting a sack [Applause] they daddy's sudden only a four-man rush there is cook yet again and Morgan Burnett in coverage is having a hard time staying with Jared cook course he's not alone well it's man-to-man coverage right and cook is going to get a nice route get a good course in the route running and Billy look at the sharp bang when the ball's delivered perfectly to cook cook has given him inside leverage that's just an option route between carne cook in the hands of rish eye and he's chucked up inside the 25-yard line close to nine maybe eight as the leaders are trying to break this 77 tie with 912 to go in a half Rashad had six carries from 95 yards last week also excellent wide receiver not only out of the backfield but he's one of those guys which we've seen the NFL around guys that go into slop be a running back with play wide receiver we shard again man lost his footing trying to cut it back to the inside it'll bring up third down excellent job by his dealers front seven building a wall on that line of scrimmage forcing the ball to cut back to the aam block player you might want to take Cooke's or you might want to look at Rashard find out Jarrett cooks and cook pink where he is they get situation over here in a slot this to be the case in there Jordy Nelson unless he lost his floating but mild my chakras open again let's get the cleats check for the Steelers - this is near disaster because we have a world-class athlete that can't keep his feet out of the break everything is thrown in based off of timing when you fall down the time we screwed up there's almost a big play for Mike Hilton 44 yard field goal try for Carlson we mentioned he has been so good since joining the Raiders 9 out of 10 good snap hold and down the middle for Daniel Carlson so the beat goes on davus pigley field goal scoring drive - Jared cookbook did not convert on a flurry down they made me say hey Jared cooks been pretty successful you might want to stay with it because the Steelers are having a very difficult time matching up with Jared cook let's see if switching his plates are any better he won't have a chance to bring it back twin brothers defend their titles in a huge night of fights on Fox Jamel charlo takes on Willie Monroe jr. and his twin brother Jermel charlo defends his belt against Tony Harrison BBC December 22nd only on Fox to the Fox Sports at that's great story twin truck there leads the NFL in passing yards most teams haven't surprised a lot of fans have been surprised how much they have thrown the ball this year off the left side this will be Samuels for a gain of two maybe three that's late on the penalty flag behind a line of scrimmage personal foul face mask defense number 59 15-yard penalty added to the end of the run automatic first down let's tie here Whitehead and we check in for the first time today with Curt Menefee hi Curt hello Tom say hello to the endzone fosston excellent plan and place the injured Melvin Gordon he gets a 5 yard touchdown run the Chargers are off and running up 14 6 at home over the Bender's of course they beat the Steelers last week and have won 8 & 9 Tommy Christmas Hedgehog is 9 3 on the year sonna keep pace with Cantus city hard to be back today he keeps winning in overtime next week what a huge game that will be - Jesse James and that's to the 47-yard long [Music] when the Raiders are playing a lot of zone and the problem with playing zone I get it but with Big Ben and that receiving core in all the weapons tight ends JooJoo Antonio Brown all these guys he does not miss read a zone those guys understand the weakness of the zone and they'll attack and efficiently but they're just easy five yard game [Applause] to start the game that'll be a first application and board to stay sister the first town to the Oakland 30 one thing Paul Gunther was very concerned about come Venus is run after catchy and if you do play off and you do play zone one of the reasons is you can get a good break on the football as well he does but he leaves his feet and the strength of juju Smith Schuster just running through him good rack yards you got to make plays in space that's worse miss Shuster and then Tony Brown Gil yeah run after catch wears ball gown third the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati this year under Marvin Lewis he's gone toe-to-toe season after season the very little success against raucous burglar in the Steelers strong running in a flag comes in again and this might be on the Raiders again to the 31 yard line on the catch by sandy this is an effort play by Jonathon hankins indeed it's that big arm around there - trying to stop the screen I do believe he grabbed the face mask of Samuels mistake well I'll tell you Jonathan Higgins does a good job of reading the screen right here getting on the hip of the offensive lineman and right there is to grab with a face mask and the strength of Samuels to run through that unfortunate play two face masks back-to-back 30 yards and penalties on the Raiders Steelers offense doesn't need a lot of help by the way football and get that points per game for fire scoring team in the USA [Applause] kid get better he's on his drive 15 yarders incentives is inside the 15 that'll be a gain of two it's been well told the whole in running back situation for Mike Tomlin's team lady on bail deciding not to come back and play this year walking away from tens of millions of dollars Connor great story having an epsilon year 50 receptions last week against San Diego not up today we're against the charges I keep called in San Diego throw to the end zone looking for Washington and excellent coverage damage great job by Worley right there playing ban coverage Raiders will play more man in the red zone because you're picking up with 12th defender you don't have to cover as long that backline in the end zone let's fall back to the running backs it's the next man not business we all know that NFL [Applause] man's opportunity in today's jail and sandals opportunity versions of 3rd and 1330 4:30 [Applause] and now another third date and down goes who else's burger that's a veteran Clinton McDonald and only the 11 sack all year long by this Raiders defense so they're going to get an assist from PJ Hall PJ Hall is going to set up Clinton McDonald he's going to come around in PJ Hall gets the penetration right here then red happens is Ramon Foster's link coming off of that does not see the pick played by PJ Hall and Clinton McDonald's there to clean it up which strengths by Roethlisberger not to lose that football so now pause well a Pro Bowler a year ago has not been that this year and this is wide right believable the difference between last year and this year for Mike Tomlin steal gold kicker that's a key moment ago Roethlisberger may have been shaken up and he took a shot right there McDonald working a stunt with PJ hall and see him slow getting up he's a tough guy he's taken a lot of shots over the years but what a time for the Raiders 11th sack of the season son that is a 490 fifth time in his career that Walters well sir offense number 86 five-yard penalty its first now let me think about that for you know not only Brett Favre and John Elway in the history of the National Football League had been sacked more frequently than been waffles beyond I've been in discussions with people wife you know like take sacks because he holds on the ball waits for things to get open actually this year he's the fastest to get rid of the football two point six four six seconds that's not the case well of course he's a Buckeye we knew we were gonna hear about that he's a stealer and he does a great job of using his hands I mean we talk about offensive linemen and how important our hands are watch he works hands right here as a defensive lineman see him get that extension he's able to separate [Applause] early move it once again which was open fracture defense number 48 five-yard penalty it's second down that's bud Dupree good changeup my target a cheap five back right excellent game management mike tomlin and his 12th year as head man of the Pittsburgh Steelers I figure 36 years young grew up in Newport News Virginia chasing the bookies head coaches the last couple of days and now car is dropped on the Blitz by Mike Chilton as the five they picked up they just skip away right that's right there Keith Butler right war Blitzen a lot in the first part of the game now he's starting to get aggressive second and eight maybe they got a read like we got a read on Martin and Brandon Parker calling blitz accordingly no a lot of time stopped by formation you can call either a blitz or two different defensive plays will always talk about autumn glazing on offense you can autumn law on defense have you to different play calls run a blitz or not a blitz depending on formation in alignment [Applause] just getting off and it's knocked down again with the line of scrimmage in his time by TJ walk so the raters are punt fourth down it's good awareness again recognizing three-step drop understanding you don't have time to get to the quarterback on a three-step drop so what do you do you just get those hands in the throwing Lane it comes want off the edge this is a three-step drop that's catching throw what knows he can't get get there but what he does do is get up and disrupt and get the hands in the throwing Lane but now the Steelers will get it back before the hounds and this is when they had been at their best on offense this year the final drive of the first half and the drive will begin in the 32 the Steelers have scored seven touchdowns this year on their final drive of the first half of the game see a flag I think they're gonna get another facemask Eric Harris that's three facemask penalty 45 yards of penalties on facemask alone personal foul face mask kicking team number 25 15-yard penalty added to the end of the play it's Pittsburgh vol first out you said it early give these stealing stop help on offense and now rather than starting inside the 35 this tribe will began almost at mid field after the facemask great graders our Fox colleague how are you long at 2000 Football Hall of Fame inductee westerby's players Tommy had an uppercut rip nobody could block the rip nice Samuels dropped right at the line of scrimmage by Nicolas Porto Sunday year

this past Tuesday and look at it now for us it's just you say your prayers it's unbelievable well Ryan such a great guy and a great player and we talked to Mike Tomlin about Ryan and you know Ryan inspires everybody aspires the whole skill she inspires me every day by the comeback that he's making and he says he wants to come back playing again and go to the Pro Football Hall of there you go where's Dan the catch is made by McDonald and he's inside the 15 down to the 11th the first down to the steel such a great play design you're gonna see Ryan shazier is going McDonald's come on in for a screen to watch Ryan shazier none are not excusing me Switzer I get Ryan on my mind here come over from backside to be a lead blocker for Vance McDonald that's just getting an extra blocker bringing him from the backside well designed play and Vance McDonald he gets in the open field to get he's looking for somebody to run over and brown not much go to jail actually spotted that completed fast an example they were 13 and that completion may be picked up the yard to brown 1:20 to play until halftime the Steelers have two timeouts remaining in a second down and nine that should have been intercepted in the end zone and that has been a big problem for Roethlisberger this year he has thrown four interceptions in the red zone already two season nice job by Carl Joseph of getting back and forcing the high throw feeling Smith's Shuster behind him not fraternity to make a play did have two hands on that ball just missed it not afraid to throw tough throw he's gonna try to fit it in here he's got great confidence in his own families [Applause] the first down just outside before tea [Applause] great protection out-of-pocket breaks down lay it off to McDonald what a stutter step and very close to a first down by the tight end McDonald what a move going right by Mauro and we talked about moral an open field tackling this time he's going to duck his head McDonald's going to come and check for Blitzen he's going to sneak out be a check down player right here one of the fears that Gunther had coming into this game was tackling in space in an open field not only was miss Shuster and to be round but certainly Vance could make people miss in space the first place to go 30 five seconds a day they put it in the hands of sandals and he is dropped to the Steelers will call the timeout we're coming up on and halftime and the guys are getting rubbed up down in Los Angeles how bout it Curt Menefee coming up on the visa halftime we'll look at that unbelievable ending in the Dolphins Patriots game the Chiefs and Ravens go into overtime and will gets caught up on the Bengals against the charges plus the Broncos and miners strike a pose the VESA halftime is next it's the way I feel when I stand next to Chris yeah let's sure about that Steelers have I'm pretty sure one timeout left still running run the football you got plenty time to do that use your timeout back or to advance McDonald Baxter out of the game across the board we're in motion [Applause] the toilet to Switzer but he fell down again remember Switzer had to have his cleats change because he fell down returning a punt and a kickoff and it should have been a touchdown they run a nice little pig route right here and if he catches it clean and keeps his feet that ball was thrown behind him a little bit if Ben puts that out in front of them it's a touchdown but he did fall and Switzer is such a good athlete at the third time that he falls and he understands that he ain't missed the opportunity but the be quite honest usually Ben will put that out in front of them say he doesn't have to rotate and turn his hips to catch the football let's go downstairs to Shannon [Music] [Applause] so the football [Applause] with pigs Ralph right here Daniel in the end zone [Applause] jumped into the air by Smith's sister but he was on down [Music] clearly within at Gimpo feast in bounds well he was wide open and bad mystic or Danny that's touchdown that's the touchdown right there we're going to bring that back well of course they will review this final two minutes of the half and Dean Blandino former head of NFL officials do you see it the way we do Dean it looked like he got both toes both feet inbounds I should say after getting control the football yeah to me this is a touchdown he bobbles the ball then he gets control he gets the right toe down the left toe down maintains control all the way to the ground that's a touchdown replay should overturn this I tell you the more I watch it more and more though I'm wondering about the control on the left foot watch the left foot here we saw the right one come down there's the right now let's look at the left yep right there six points the great catch lady Blandino we thank you if any little Slough the rest of the day you know the NFL really zeroing in on this cat's rule during the off-season by Tomlin's is on the competition committee now control the football I think the end of first two right there tip drill concentration understand where he is on the field and the ability to get both feet down and bounce touchdown Steelers [Applause] the Pittsburgh receiver establish control of the ball got two feet down in bounds and survived initial contact so here's a touchdown here it is for Smith Schuster closing in on a hundred receptions for the year already over 1100 receiving yards will you talk about a one-two knockout punch he along with Antonio Brown [Applause] without a point after and they're not taking anything [Applause] play and it's neat swing for Chris Boswell he's missed five games this year so I took the Steelers a little wild to get things going here but that is now the eighth time this season think about that the eighth time the Steelers final drive in the first half of the game did they come away with a touchdown and looks remember now they want the toss and they will get the ball Chris to begin the third quarter once his great confidence in their offensive line I mean it all starts upfront their fourth in the league in sacks given up it's only given up 17 sacks on the year you hit on at the skill players right Vance McDonald Smith Schuster Antonio Brian Brian Switzer all these guys are playmakers bedspreads the ball around so it's very difficult to defend them and he forces you to defend the whole field by spreading the ball over the field this is such a treat to have a chance to call rarely on Fox do we have a two AFC teams playing in here you have the Raiders and the Steelers does it get much better than that the Raiders have played well this happy and I look for them where they were successful in the first half on offense they were successful when they went a little bit of up-tempo they got Jared cook involved early come back to that remaining we brought up earlier that you know Baltimore gave Kansas City all it wanted and then some the Chiefs wedding he had over time and really that's a huge lift with New England's lost for home-field advantage of Steelers you're thinking about moving up the totem pole after the Texans lost as well today well and the mentality of the Steelers were that after the loss to the LA Chargers the other night playoffs start you see they have their playoff face on started slow but certainly answered with 14 Steelers again get the ball to start the third at our DIRECTV the first half that's our thing DirecTV overturning the call the touchdown reception by Smith Shuster and the Steelers will go to the locker room with a 14 to 10 lead over the Oakland Raiders we'll be back with more 1410 Pittsburgh Mikey over the top then he is in for the touchdown Oakland Raiders tips ro concentration understand where he is on the field and the ability to get both feet down and bounds touchdown today's game flow brought to you by progressive alongside Chris Spielman Shannon's Baek Thom Brenneman back in Oakland if you're the Raiders you're too intent on the year you have ideas have tried to spoil things here for the Steelers with four weeks to go and you're hanging in there 14 10 yeah they are the problem they had a little bit they had some on timely penalties I was three face mask put Pittsburgh in great field position you give an offense like that they will take advantage of it well you look at the Raiders after a pretty good start on offense they had more penalty yards in the second quarter than they had yards of total offense and some of the numbers Steelers only six rushing yards and again you go from lay beyond bill what could have been should have been whatever to James Connor hurt and now all of a sudden you're piecing things together we're set to go here in the second half pan as we mentioned the Steelers will get the football against John Burton's defense which will take a knee and let's check in with Shannon spake downstairs well you guys mentioned in that first half out Ben Roethlisberger was shaken up on that first half Zach now if he was being looked at by the doctors during the halftime he also left the half early I asked Mike Tomlin about that he said he fully expects him to come out here and play but he has not yet come onto the field guys and you can see that Josh Schatz is out there how about that first year quarterback out of Tennessee drafted by the Steelers in the fourth round 2007 first he'll turn around and hand it off to sandals he picks up close to four and this was his shot on Roethlisberger's there in the early part of the second quarter that's Clinton MacDonald coming around and taking big bend down I don't know exactly what they're looking at but he did finish the first half Joshua Dobbs fourth round pick out of Tennessee expecting to be conservative offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner the play called him [Applause] the jobs there to cut it loose great protection and now he's forced out and he can run the football we saw indeed not a lot at Tennessee and very close to a first hand a very close to another Raider penalty it is if there's some things that never change its death taxes and Oakland Raiders committing stupid pedal to drop box been going on forever I I understand that and I'm not sure that this is a penalty because I don't think it was a vicious hit and I don't know what kind of force he pushed him out with personal foul fifteen yard penalty automatic percent our Kent lead as Dobbs is a runner right now let's see if he's still in bounce he was still in bounce and he gave him a push now I don't know the rule on that regards will get Dean Blandino because he's a runner you're allowed to push him I believe with a little extra bigger I've to say that somewhat sarcastically Dean if he still inbounds me he's running a football and checking the deed Los Angeles to the Raiders it incentives cuts it back to the inside that'd be a gain of all those ten what about it Dean Blandino does you think that should have been a penalty on Oakley no I didn't like it as a penalty the contact occurs before the runner gets out of Bounce he's on runner he's going toward the sideline but he has to get out of bounds to get that protection it's that right at the sticks the defender has to have an opportunity to make a play there was nothing to the head he didn't lower the helmet and it looked to me like a legal blood it's legal it's legal play and it's a bad call but you got it route right when you're when you're two and ten or whatever yard you don't get a lot of calls and again to Samuels and this time no running room and another penalty flag comes in Carl Joseph coming up to make the tackle for 15-yard companies in this game - number 81 10-yard penalty replay second down all of them against Oakland and that's a holding penalty by the tight end Jesse James to back him up this is where James Connor will be missed meant Big Ben is in a locker room getting treated you have a young quarterback in there Joshua Dobbs you tried to throw a play-action with Matt's protection that's where he took off and ran but you have to establish something on the ground because that will help Joshua Dobbs with any type of play-action game you might want to insert into this offense God just two out of three throwing the ball this year second down and 10 so the crossing route this this user last time to Dobbs played he entered the game in the fourth corner that Wow over the Panthers completing one pass for a loss of three yard third tenth and the Raiders right now they know they have difficulty matching up man-to-man athlete for athlete against his dealers you play zone you drop to the sticks into one thing forcing me to check it down and you will make tackles in space dear defender see if they get a pass for us sticks it there the numbers it's broken up that's a good play by the third-year corner former West Virginia it's a really good break by their overly but here understanding James Washington working up the field and I like the fact that he doesn't climb the back to get a pass interference comes in with that left arm and I'll tell you that ball usually Big Ben you see how that ball was high you throw that ball low so you forced the DB to go through the pass catcher to get a possible interference throw high you give the DP a chance fair catch by Harris at the 14 yard line it was almost blocked by Derek Jerry just and the booty watch across cars trucks and suv's when they get together these teams sweet [Applause] yeah Joe green coming in with the great book if we got a lot of firming emails back at that day there's a catch all right well my big news we're just getting front the Steelers rocker woman let's check in with Shannon great Tom you know Ben Roethlisberger still in the locker room being evaluated questionable to return to this game with a rib injury so we'll certainly watch that locker room to see if he comes back out last series he did look like he was hurtin delivering a football on time on target and it will be good enough for a first down to Jordy Nelson I love the play calling by Jon Gruden Derek Carr Paul to place in the huddle give Derek to freedom to check off to the better one right there a three-step drop gets him in rhythm his guardian bolt [Music] flag down Doug Martin wrapped up bite to it big Colt Miller I think on the grab right here holding offense number 77 10-yard penalty replay first down when you start to rookie tackles the idea was to have Donald Penn over on the right side but he was injured going all the way back to week four you knew that Miller was going to to be a starter but now the site and you're going with Miller and Brandon Parker and Colton Miller is getting better he was struggling a little bit with the knee problem played through it more reps can be seized the better he'll be caught [Applause] plenty of time to throw it then it broke down and but Dupree is there picking up his fists ACTU the season there's but Dupree right here and let's see the Steelers and what they do to generate pass rush remember coming in there leading sac team only bringing four they show like they're bringing five the bud Dupree keeps working and rolling working on Colt Miller Beatson was speed around the edge and David Carr has to be able to fill that and get rid of the football step up into the pocket so Doug and I started his draft for the Raiders inside the rover ten not going anywhere TJ watches does a great job right here it's just a beautiful job he didn't make the tackle but by understanding the defense he forces the ball to bounce inside he's going to take 41 and make the tackle with him watch TJ walk come in and understand what his responsibility is by forcing the ball back inside look at that shot right there and he knows where his defenders aren't where the help is coming from your responsibility first while submitted though we're near a first down up to the 20-yard why did Jared Cook and the Raiders will party [Applause] where she had brother against brother again last week what a player he has turned into TJ watt first round picked a year ago a Wisconsin Badger that plays running pass well great pass Russians good kick it's been a great day for Townsend driving Switzer all the way back inside his 30 and brings it up close to the 40 and again still don't been trough less burger joshua dobbs saw him relief steelers trying to pick up a game against the losing ravens earlier today [Music] did you how to do it because he's a performer and he produces whatever you need to do get ready get ready the legendary head coach Sonny Stillman was not a big fan of the Irish jig first town throw the numbers dismiss she should not tell you he's been such a fine Kevin Kohlberg did a great job of finding juju Smith Schuster out of USC and again understanding and awareness and body control to keep both feet inbounds just beautiful job athletic Billy everything he wants and that's the way to help your quarterback out the young guy on a high throne completion of this season for God and the first since taking em to Roethlisberger who just now is coming out of the steamer locker room and he is gonna start circling back around the far end zone and he looks like he's coming back out there to play football raining roll take the Raiders are challenging that call on the sidelines we'll be right back [Applause] after doing the play the ruling on the field stands is called it's a completed catch force now hopefully we'll be charged with its first time out of the hand Chris we wondered if he stepped out of bounds before he came back in to make the catch I don't know it kids up from our angle he definitely got to feed in bounce you see the left foot the referees who normally spot that on the field drop the hat can't be the first one to touch the ball he step out of bounds so it will be a first town reception made by Smith Schuster and you know Dean Blandino back in Los Angeles I guess we just couldn't tell whether or not he stepped out of bounds because if he did you can't come back here to be the first guy to touch it right exactly and what's interesting about this place the line judge actually froze his right which means that he has the receiver stepping out of bounds prior to touching it but they may get together the line judge and field judge start talking about it and the field judge must have convinced the lines over he didn't step out and now it just becomes not enough to change those years of taking Sammy's lapped up by frosty Rucker boy this keeps going done they drafted all the way back by the Cincinnati Bengals out of USC in 2006 and still play a good football 35 years old let's go downstairs to Shannon well Tom you saw Ben Roethlisberger come out the locker and he did have his helmet in his hand at that point he does not right now standing on the sidelines baseball cap on watching Josh Dobbs out there on the field so dogs facing a something down and by Samuels and a layoff the same use out of breaks a tackle breaks another tackle and lunges forward inside the 45 it'll bring up third down in baby - that's just a great effort by Jalen Samuels James Conner is outstanding on screen passes certainly Jalen feels comfortable catching the ball out of the backfield good set up with a nice call by Randy Fichtner keep the pressure off of his quarterback to make it easy throw getting a third man situation they're very excited to see you know what Samuels is capable of doing is so said like Tom when our conversation had hit yesterday it takes the fall does have nine carries now attempt to try and get a first ad we'll be smothered short of the first down the rookie out of LSU Hardin key coming down the line to make the stop at a decision now for Mike Tomlin who's not afraid to go for it on a fourth down now just Arden he does a tremendous job right here working down the line number 99 working off blocks right here coming across the crack back block like you just miss Schuster not a very good effort by juju art he defeats that battle and hustles down the line of scrimmage to give a good open field tackle to put it forth the short Gunter's teams got a nice job shutting down a Steeler web game Pittsburgh six at 9:00 pulled on fourth down this year now they're gonna have to spend a timeout we're back after this message Verizon hey guys get something for Nana Brian Thomas yeah hey quick question do you like painful things you don't need no and do you want to get things you love for free what wouldn't exactly right that's why Verizon decided that everyone in the family should give the unlimited they want without paying for things they don't and why it now comes with six months of free Apple music yeah Apple music he gets it let's guy gets it this holiday get the gift you want the music you love on the network you deserve switch now and get $300 off our best phones anytime you're in this situation watch the hard count watch the hard count and he's saying that now it's the linebacker or the play callers job in the huddle to alert the defensive lineman of watch the hard count but if I'm playing the Pittsburgh Steelers they're gonna take their shot at this especially their defense is playing well [Applause] that's a lie Steven Ridley [Applause] Dodd's can run the ball [Applause] in phase two the first turn [Applause] and they're gonna run it nope they're gonna throw [Applause] did the daughter get there he did not [Applause] defense sliced up all year long playing good football today t-mobile has you covered Whitehead making the play when a play needs to be made understanding that if you're in man coverage that takes precedent first and foremost but I'll give you a reason after this play why he had a good key on that thugs and other Raiders boy action wanting to cook it's incomplete another penalty flag holding offense number 76 10-yard penalty first down here's Tiger Whitehead why he doesn't get sucked up tuned to play action because these guys aren't going this way they're going sideways so they're not going to run the ball with the offensive lineman going sideways in getting depth allowing Whitehead to pick up McDonald on the crossing route plus their man coverage that takes precedent over any run fake all day that's discipline defense by Thai air another penalty against a rapist quick slant and get a chunk of it back with such debate by seven lobbies up to the 45 yard line out of the game of 13 so second down coming up after the penalty backed above we saw the backfield has had a very very wonky this gun is an excellent receiver on the back field so this guy what a year it's been for Jared tuck in Tennessee went to Green Bay the Rams to me he's the Sultan he's like the wide receiver first of all he's physical at the line of scrimmage Edmonds tries to bump him but he gets knocked off balance he doesn't break stride and Derek cars able to deliver him a catchable ball he's so good with one after catch he's had career 100-yard receiving games coming in that is his fourth 100-yard receiving game STJ he's here to be funny again what we talked about his ability to play run and pass not going upfield and all the pass rusher is able to keep his eyes up head up and get a great tackle for loss of a dance recognition right there nothing to do with the pass rush had a good key on his key as far as Parker's right foot being even with his left foot that tells him run we're just right before his back that tells him past time he's got that key and he made a great read on that smart football player but take one way back the other way the traffic in the reception is made and getting back to his seat his carrier and then it saves down back into 12 yard line 13 or the toughness of car to hang in there knowing a hit has caught me throwing off his back foot you see hurry up [Applause] handing off the Markman nowhere to go it's just Derek Carr right here it'll work the same route with carrier inside of that men's and that balls perfectly thrown in between coverage on the outside in between the safety yeah that's the catch here he does a great job and he was tagged down before he got up and running he's still down with that be on the ground [Applause] second down and bartels get it again ago so now you run back-to-back plays here from the 13 yard line and not picked up a single yard it's third down third out you're grinning Rashard in number 30 can operate out of the slot receiver position if Derek Carr gets it matched up with a lot background Rashard that will be his first read and of course the one guy you have to be concerned with down here is Jared cook number 87 working up here on the top side against Morgan Burnett [Applause] look at me [Applause] they never looked at work times the other way and short of a first down on the completed pass to Jordy Nelson but a penalty flag again is down behind a lot of scrimmage and Jon Gruden already just shaking his head and you got to stand why over a hundred yards a penalty 75 10-yard penalty 100 and we have 247 to go in the third quarter Brandon Parker working on wot right here we get those hands that's a tough call but again when you're 2 and 10 and it just seems like you never get a break because walk actually slipped he did not take it daily maybe a little bit of a hook but sometimes s caught sometimes not lay down at 19 are looking around dancing around and had the ball deflected was that a live ball is headed in completed packs incomplete pass or is it no this hanging to fumble and the ball denounced to the Steelers and again we have to wait on this one [Applause] cars looking up into the camera and replay to see if he lets it loose I don't the ball yeah the ball slips out of his hands before his hand comes forward I think that's a fumble and that's definitely a fumble a 115 degrees Dean I agree remember the hand coming forward with control starts the passing motion the ball is coming off his fingertips before the hand comes forward that's a fumble and recovered by the defense see right there is Dean said no good look ya know control and that's you know you can tell what a guy's guilty because Dean if he's looking up with the reflate board here check this ATP I could get your break and that's right where Derek Karzai's went and he wanted to make sure I know how frustrating that is for Derek and this offense a big problem with the Raiders obviously this year tom has been the self-inflicted boy wounds that you know fumbles like that they're just bad luck bad calls face mask things like that have hurt them all year all righty so is covered up by Mike Hilton on it still ben roethlisberger walking up and down the Steelers sideline rather than coming back at the quarterback neither team is stored here the second half and ridley looking for running around and Mark Kelly says no deal second down on this you know you talked about how with a new quarterback how changes in offensive minds game plan right well also change this ball Gunther the defensive coordinator all of a sudden they're not worried about Antonio Brown running down the field they're not worried about Judas miss Schuster running down the field so also they know they're going to run the ball so you can get your best front defenses and put your guys in position to stop the run which they think the Steelers were tried to do Antonio Brown just three reception to this game for a total of 16 yards and 12 of them came on one catch Ridley Agana to get nowhere to go let's go downstairs yeah you know I asked Jon Gruden about that at halftime and he told me you know what they've got two really good receivers and that's great for them it's bad for us certainly he's been able to balance it out a little bit but specifically he just said third down deep we talked about it all game long really hurt they got a chance to make a play on 3rd down right here now they only have 11 stacks under a year one including today somebody's going to step up and make the play PJ Haar's go [Applause] speak [Applause] now dolls great protection now flushed out of the pocket he can run and he'll get a first down [Applause] is a backbreaker for the Raiders on defense a good decision rather than forcing the ball he's going to take a throwing lane and turn it into a running Lane and understanding with zone coverage guys are sitting the inside he has a clear path the first down good decision poise decision not to force the football but the pick it up with his feet we're here to fight now dogs playing in his game this season although this is the first one to make any sort of pressure at all in the game the others have biggest sided took a big hit and the ball is on the ground believe they're singing completed packs yes they are he was a guy who made the big hit see right here it again it's you see Derek Carr say hey maybe this happened here's Dobbs here's key coming off the edge beating that Pilar and I think his arm let's see if he does have control with that hand is Dean it's that's close that's close and this will be challenged on the field [Applause] Mankins was the one who covered it up what is that left hand the Varden key was able to knock that ball loose my Dean we're gonna go to you again how do you see it sounds the ruling of the field against time incomplete pass we think this is extremely close remember the hand comes with control they use it a pass we got some great looks here it is that ball coming off of this hand before the hand comes forward I think this is a farmable whenever I say think is it truly definitive it's gonna be a very very close decision I think his are the keys left hand jars the ball loose right here I don't think he's coming forward with control right there I think that ball is jarred loose in his hand Dean and that should be a fumble Oh numbers they think I think that's I like that I like that you're a defensive guy you want the fumble I get it no but again the hand coming forward to me I like it as a fumble as well I just always go back to if they have any doubt they're gonna let it stand yeah there is a clear recovery by Oakland and and again if I'm looking at this I'm gonna make it a fumble all right we'll see I'm just waiting for the first time when you a deep Blandino disagree on something well he always goes with a big strong guy here in the booth let the pencil that guy like me look it's just amazing though like how close the Raiders are there's no doubt there's a lot of close plays that aren't going their way and you know you look at Pittsburgh who's fighting for a playoff berth they have a call that's so close where Derek Carr he fought with a football this one to me it's a fumble but we'll see what the replay decides it just seems to go that way things are going bad things go bad just man that was close we almost had that I mean you just look at a game last week I mean they were right there with Kansas City Chiefs have lost all the two games this year play here play there fourth down penalty when you're going for it false start and a third down and the third down in the yard I mean Jon Gruden made a comment to us on Friday and you brought it up earlier what a tremendous responsibility this is to build this thing from the ground up and that's exactly what they're doing all right here we go [Music] [Applause] so challenges by john bruton to come up short lost again time outs it's a great play by our turkey here's what I thought that the ball was knocked loose by his left hand right there was a confirmed stance Oh it's a second down down with Dobbs much better protection tipped off by one so we're going to replay this as well because they have to review every change of possession the great job by Gary off Connelly Dobbs has plenty of time to get in her truck and help him out with the play-action [Applause] the most consistent player Whitehead has painted a great play but this is Gary on Connelly again avoiding the pass interference the discipline to come over the top to keep the right hand off Antonio Brown and swatting it away just a tremendous effort by Gary on colony entire Whitehead with the pick making plays when the play needs to be made a lot of people forget Connelly a number one pick out of Ohio State from your hometown in fact Massillon Ohio same high school Mastan Tiger making a play and you know he only played two games his entire rookie year then he got hurt so he is playing a full NFL season for the first time he's coming on strong they're excited by this point lost a yarn but Dupree on the stop and that'll be the final play in this third quarter we got a ballgame Mena Steelers with a golden chance to pick up ground on the Ravens who lost earlier today and the Raiders [Music] able to get anything going on on fencing at third quarter right there ruling a complete pass very on kindly avoiding any interference the Antonio Brown tip the ball tiger Whitehead running the football big play for the Raider defense not a single point scored by either team in third burger in the second corner stayed in the game to play the first half missing an open set to Roberts's car fourth-quarter has been a nightmare for Jive Bruins team of course Steelers won some games get away in the fourth quarter to be going back last week gave up 18 points in the fourth quarter last week to the chargers and I think if you look at Jon Gruden - one thing and I talked to Gretchen Mackenzie the general manager of practice on Friday they're looking for guys to finish looking for guys to play hard looking for guys that want to be Raiders they have a bottom a guy center are just trying to make a team or just join the team and they're playing hard getting exam maybe Austin oh sorry offense number ten five-yard penalty stir down hard enough third and ten Jon Gruden his team now has been hit with 105 yards in penalties ten of them in a game I just I just think that's so frustrating then when you have young players and move players and the locker room changeover do they have every week it's just just difficult to get a really good team like the Steelers with the self-inflicted wounds fifteen in car [Music] missed it by 10 feet and nearly threw it into the arms to the safety Sean Davis car was running down to the receiver and he wanted and wanted him in different place now watch more so a man he is open up a little bit of a corner round right here car on the move cars thought he was going to sit it down and right there eight men broke it outside now watch them get back inside get back inside that's where I'm putting the ball but that's a rookie and he's trying to help him out coach mark that's on a receiver by the way that car [Applause] yes they hit the covering later in the back who will be charged for yet another penalty it's Nick Nelson I mean it doesn't matter who the head coach has been for the Raiders over the last lord knows how long penalty after penalty after penalty among the league leaders and that's not a good thing every single year now it's especially if your team and like we say they're rebuilding its be honest they're rebuilding franchise you're you're out here playing well against the Pittsburgh Steelers are fighting for playoff position right let your self interference on the kicking team number 23 15-yard penalty Pittsburgh's ball first down right and right here it creates field position right they've had good defensive field position now you give the Steelers some breathing room but I want to go back to Derek Carr right here he's getting a man now he's taking a little bit of leadership role and calm down a little bit telling them don't break that outside the defender was outside you either sit that down and I will throw you open inside versus zone coverage in a zone you sit it down and man you keep running good job with him coaching and you know he's a he's a competitor he wants to win but that's leadership right there hold that guy accountable and he'll get better aprons a guy that job grooves really an attack on the penalty yards and this drive will start from the 32 yard line Steelers need 14 10 only 20 seconds have passed in this fourth quarter and Joshua Dobbs playing the first meaningful minutes but his NFL career he did not play a single step all the black season easy throw to Tonio Brown that'll be a game of clothes to sit so let's check it with Curt well after Dallas had a 9 nothing lead dak through his second interception and the Eagles turned it into points question went to Al Jean Jeffery they missed the extra point but have since added a field goal so after being down nine nothing is now nine nine got it come Chris we got it now bed still moving around over on that sideline but no side of the helmet in hand is wearing that Steelers chap [Applause] ladies hope for defense and I may be on the backup quarterback in there but look but Ben Roethlisberger was in there they only allowed 14 points in the last touchdown came to the final minute of the opening hand well and Paul Cutler is a smart guy right so he understands if Randy finger the offensive coordinator is limited to what he's going to call especially after an interception so he's going to keep things close to the vest easy passes and try to run the football to eat as much clock as they can and Gunther is adjusted accordingly [Applause] ladies have otherwise Cheers [Applause] take your deep [Applause] Bob's on a third down carry on cuddly the number one pick out of Ohio State who continues to get better and better seemingly every week it's played corners playing confident even though you're number one pick sometimes you struggle with confidence right here it's just a great break about the football and again avoiding running through the receiver the ball was behind which a lot geureon collie get that left hand in and if you're a Pittsburgh Steeler fan you might be saying well Ben would have put that ball outside so Kali would have to go through the receiver giving them fear us is a front bye and a ferret ten to the twenty seven well if you get some help for Buster Hays you better be good a remarkable career as a broadcaster I know is down in right now lives in the area legendary John Madden led the Raiders in 76 to an AFC championship win over these students two weeks later what a Super Bowl to the Hall of Fame in 2006 and a first town completion to Jordy Nelson see I was lucky enough to be on the home at TV used to get this sweatshirt so one of my kids water sweatshirt one day I saw it word like rounded them for three weeks you know touch yet that sweatshirts are rounded yours yet for wearing a sweat that's three weeks yes automatic the mat sweatshirt is talking to [Music] and that's that's the trust to come back to a guy just a great throw this is the flick of the wrist first of all the route right it's a quick step and he's gonna throw him open but why he goes that direction because you have a linebacker on a wide receiver smart quarterbacks good quarterbacks will take advantage that every time such a strong arm throw gee that was a flick [Applause] where she tried pointing the other way and it's going to be against the Raiders yet again well sorry offense number 75 yard penalty it's made it Tuesday for the rookie Brandon Parker when executive producer Ridley Scott starring mark-paul Gosselaar the passage comes to Fox's January can one girl save humanity based on the best-selling trilogy the passage premieres this January only on Fox Parker's done a pretty decent job against JJ Watt on path detection all day we came over 55 receptions on this season he does not have a single checks in the game today you see the last five possessions they had that fumble but then took it right back away on the interception by white in that they're playing with our defenses I think playing their best ball game of the year competing running around making place playing with a lot of confidence knocking balls down in Kennesaw offense capitalize good field position scrambles away delivers on the money with his short of the first down but a significant picked up on such a gamble Delson the car has great pocket presents looking over here getting a priest nap breed on Jordy Nelson but the pressures coming steps up buys himself time keeps his eyes downfield and that's an excellent job of Jordy Nelson walking back to the court back on scramble drill to cut the distance and create some separation between he and the defensive back actually they need to get to the 31 [Applause] and max up they left in the first bath [Applause] instead they come back to eat mini this lowers his shoulder and picks up the first handle the 29-yard line I know car has looked at Cherry Coke on a third down since the first driving a game first of all this is a nice little thick route by the Raiders he hasn't that what story nuts have run out and screen off the corner you see him screen off the corner that allowed the corner has to go over top allowed space for the slant route to work Jordy Nelson was not part of that play he had one job forced to corner to go over top of him to get room to the underneath receiver it's a great play by Jordan Nelson they give it to me sighs and maybe a yard here's Curt Menefee Wells's trading for Lauren Cooper the Cowboys are four and Oh could they make it five and over today against the Eagles that beautiful pass from back to Cooper 28 yard score and that's the difference right now Cowboys up a touchdown with under 8 minutes to go in regulation Tom Cowboys they want something they go after toe kick and hit the lot of us to get Amari he's paid off so far [Music] [Applause] second down flushed out of the pocket and will wisely throw it away you know you're talking to John did so much has been babies the season is going on about trading away Khalil Mack just before the year began they trade away Amari Cooper and let some other guys kind of get out the door and he say look we want six games with this group a year ago six wins in a season doesn't get you into playoffs well they've made the decision I think when he was hired they made the decision that they're gonna rebuild this thing and I'll tell you the one thing that he can be proud of today no matter how this game ends up these guys are competing and some of these guys were on the street last week don't bring them in Nelson is a that a spin inside the 20 he needed to get to the 19 for a first half he looks like he's just short boy decision time now with 850 to go for John Burton yeah I think it's no decision line up and go nothing to lose everything to gain obviously he loaded the heart count watch my time abroad the Lark Park count I think it's the right call to go for it absolutely no question about it [Applause] 4:13 fourth day this year and they will get the first down sorry the ball is picked up I believe they said it was already down but it is enough for a first down restart is claiming to dead he severely ends up Dean Oregon it's opens ball first Montera Rodney Hudson the center does a great job of coming off a double team and swinging his hips cutting off fourth and Rashard is down by contact but that's just a tremendous job of Rodney Hudson coming off the double-team getting to the second level of the five by linebacker let's see let's make sure elbows down balls down tumbles down play off we shot able to slither in among some of the Steeler defenders and he's down close to the 11 yard line and again no Ben Roethlisberger at least not so far in his second half we saw him up walking around threw the football a couple of times left with a rib injury at the end of the first half the Steelers have been shut out without Loftus burger here in the second half by the Raiders [Applause] a play of this Drive [Applause] to turn the simply truck first time they've taught hit the ball the second half this is the rare situation dude because you don't see Jarrett cook drop the ball in games or practice perfectly thrown ball I think he was excited about trying to make Edmonds miss after the catch finished the play he understands Raiders who lead the NFL and drop passes this season in fact they dropped more passes in any team in football the last five season this is why I'm gone this matchup right there I attack that right now and that's rich are you talking about and attaches made by Nelson how did did Joe hate water the concentration because Joe Hayden's going to get in the throwing Lane just a little bit late with that left arm and right under the defenders Arman Jordy Nelson tremendous concentration bringing it in well that's a big time throwing a big time catch to focus on hauling that one in [Applause] stealers facing first and goal to the Rangers at the two-yard line they're gonna run it and drop four laws behind the line of scrimmage it's Martin the nurse to it step on to it right here is going to slice down inside with a nice little squib move avoids the offense a blocker is able to get to tackle for loss the offensive tackle dropped his head missed his target into it came through with the pass rush moves on a run play to get the TfL tackle for loss back at the yard suckin down [Applause] they turn back the other way that is a touchdown to the Rangers least touchdowns him back to that game [Applause] coming from this side Smith has to be patient he's going to do what we call a tight end sneak Rock he's just going to try to get lost remember 98 Vince Williams has them in coverage and car electric develop uses his eyes to move defenders tor cooks then he hits min done in tight end delay sneak Rock so now very very and it stinks inside the right this is a tremendous job of car setting it up with his eyes Lee Smith patient on the tight ends knee kraut kind of get lost in between all those big offensive lineman just a well-designed play by John brew Lee Smith said I'm tired of blocking I want to catch a touchdown and he did the great play call by coach Gruden chemist dealers answer playoffs that's what Mike Tomlin told us they start now and the question is will we see Ben Roethlisberger coming back here for the final 5:20 Shannon any word on that here he comes yeah looks like he's going in their time you know over the last defensive driver the guys were just out there Ben Roethlisberger [Applause] granted [Applause] [Music] last minute they did not move em out obviously times in the regular season including twice as she [Applause] burglars let his team over time does he have a 41st inning first half throw right on the button and that's the biggest game of the afternoon for Antonia Brown whose head very quiet day this is easy read for bed because of the zone deep that set the Raiders are playing Antonio Brown is going to find that hole remember his own to rule as sit it down and man you take it across he finds the hole sit sit down he and Ben Roethlisberger of course are on the same page these have two timeouts we have a two-minute warning but a long way to go is just under five and a pump fake they dump it off out of the backfield a couple of tackles in a cross midfield [Applause] well Jalen sandals mike tomlin was excited about not only what he can do is running back but more portly would he brings to the table here Ben Roethlisberger understands where's checked out his missed tackles in space Worley went for the football instead of the legs when you go high you try to get the football you're going to miss tackles go get him wrap him up try to strip it missed tackle Salmons makes it pain there's two bucks a cup down the field defender fell down this Burger mystic when they had it denne missed a touchdown throw last week to Justin Hunter and that was a play hunter while dove diving for the ball and hurt his shoulder now look Smith Schuster just kidding up we do have a penalty flag down on the far side before the pass was thrown holding defense number 21 [Applause] automatic first down so a couple things to real quick Gary on Colleen he said great brakes on the ball he broke up an out cut last time set him up with an out and up and this is a smart play by Gary on understand and he was beat he was able to reach out and just grab him enough to get a 5-yard penalty you get the holding that's only a five-yard penalty automatic first down as opposed to the past interference but that was set up by Randy feet nur Ben Roethlisberger and Jesus miss Shuster because of the great break glass series that Conley had on the outside then counties had a couple in the game first down Big Ben dumps it off to sand goes again with blockers in front of him and he shot down sundown in the 20 yard line and Samuels all of a sudden coming alive with rawson thurber back in the game screen pass right and Jalen Samuels understands the concept of screen is very patient letting us set up acting like he's going to pass Pro turns around to Steelers athletic offensive line downfield getting a hat on a hat and sandals doing business in open simple pitching cats dismiss Houston the first half [Applause] Booya yes you are I agree to make these last three passes but there's something different about having Roethlisberger on the play well the play calling is different because your whole playbook is opened up with Dobbs's conservatives with Big Ben everything's opened up right there Gary on Carly jumped inside he's got a jump outside the force half ball to cut in again just knowing what you're doing and the applicability of the Steelers to get downfield the block of all screens by all positions [Applause] something look the other way protection all day to throw Nance miss Easter is inside the two down to the one first down and goal Pittsburgh is Roethlisberger his team shutout here in the second half has come back into the game for the first time in the second half and has him a yard away from a touchdown and a lead on the offense line just tremendous job of lock him to sit there survey that feel and no defensive back seven can cover anybody for that long got with Ben Roethlisberger in the wealth of talent ya around [Applause] and that is a touchdown for Smith Shuster point what a dangerous throw that look it's almost pick Wow and it's a touchdown for the Steelers is rough this burger brings him back again well this is just a picks right and he's gonna sneak in right behind these guys but watch the play right here that's number 56 the Monterey Moore who just signed off the street this week almost makes a great play just loses sight of the football concentration by Smith Shuster those are picks that's just a great job those are legal picks they didn't make contact until the ball was caught they're lucky mr. Monterey Moore just off the street almost made a great play for the Raiders almost made a great play for the Raiders still 255 to go and this is a critical point after and we mentioned it Boswell is this five of those this year he had one today hit off the upright and go through so this is no giving [Applause] and it is good how about that play made by the Qatar Jordan Barry 6-4 6-7 yards and a touchdown for the Steelers laterz a moment ago and swings the other way to Roethlisberger in the Steelers with 255 to go at a four point Steelers lead Derek Carr will have a chance today a heartbreaking loss for the Ravens but one certainly celebrated by these Steelers who have a chance to go to eight four and one took up a full game on the Ravens this is where their defense has to win the ballgame for them now Raiders have one timeout left with the two-minute stoppage so that gives it to stop the clock see what Derek Carr could do this plant really well played his best game under Jon Gruden last week's played really well today without a chance to make something happen fifteen game career first hand good protection and this is riche artist first catch of the game deployed and he took a hit by camera table you know when you have defense and linemen making plays on check downs that's out for dad's hustle that's leadership that's cam Hayward anytime you can make the play like that as a defensive lineman that's a benefit to everybody and it fires everybody up says he's captain of his Steelers defense bar steps away from trouble and its 8-bit again in first half to the 40-yard line yes it is a catch that's a kid that's growing up right before their cars eyes jock bruton's eyes Gretchen Kenzie's eyes getting better and better and cars starting to get confidence in the big receiver the rookie out Oklahoma State Clark wants him to run another flight in Florida Tuesday's gonna get it will steps up throws took in a first down to take it to the two-minute warning [Applause] did I say he's a fickle sword of course the silver and black our dear friend Matt Millen nine years were Superbowl in both Oakland and Los Angeles and we're certainly praying for him yep waiting on a heart transplant one of our favorite guys great player great analysts better person no doubt with the these two guys have done a pretty good job the rookies gets the couple one sec defects in the lead [Applause] from the 47 car airs it out [Applause] you know that Tampa two defenses he's Morgan Burnett his job is to run all the way vertical with the wide receiver guard just drops a dime inside of that over the the heads a little bit late and set Roberts under pressure though contact was coming was able to finish that was an unbelievable throw it's great from grateful remember now on two challenges two raters lost timeouts in a scam so only one way to making a touchdown he'll go to do it they give it to and again they cannot stop the clock so they run it with a 111 to go and that clock continues to run and they don't appear to be it apparently they're gonna let that clock continue to go I don't know what's going on here Chris that's a lot of time they're killing right now yeah they've got a plan they trust the plan they understand what they want to do with it bars in complete control and tried to sneak one in there with the rut now the ball is going to be thrown through straight plays and again I like to match up with Rashard in the swamp [Applause] here comes the Blitz and car just has to throw it away now he's open coming off the edge and there's an integrator on the field and we have to live and liquid around down there for the Raiders Dean Jackson the right guard Feliciano is limping a little bit starting on the left guard guys are tough though they'll figure it out try to finish finish to do the best that they can [Applause] right so you got a third down [Applause] blitz coming again wants it to click in the end zone to the coverage by the veteran Morgenson here today 40 days well they're trying to work at crossing route right here and Morgan Burnett working on cook does a good job of jamming him at the line of scrimmage keeps in contact as his eyes with the field right there could have been a holding call called see that he's hooking the arm technically that should have been a penalty it was not but he made the play he were not allowed to grab the arm like that I mean that's a play we see that called in week-in week-out if you're hooked in the arm that's holding but loans not called this time and Chris Spielman I don't know we came out here I don't know how you felt when we went to the Raiders practice on Friday they had a fighting chance but after watching them last week you knew they would compete and you pointed out all day today yeah they have heart and they have spirit they believe in Jon Gruden Derek cards playing his best football of the year he's the cornerstone of this franchise and this would be a great win for but the Steelers are proud group they're playing the playoffs fourth down lighten up and let's find out all right here we go goal just outside the five where are you going here you going to look at cook right I still like rashard but if he's not in the slop that it's either good book Jody Mills right there inside just cook right there [Applause] Carrie snapped in a touchdown here's it to the last two weeks [Applause] five catches all year long and this is his first touchdown how Jordy Nelson occupies two guys you have number 28 Mike Hilton picking that carrier was going to run the corner route he drops way back into the end zone carrier pulls it back and card knows where he's going to be easy pitch and catch negative Jack Riggs fired at you but again critical point after to make it a three-point game those five of seven on the drive for 74 yards and Feliciano need some getting off the field and cars right there to wrap him up Jordy Nelson occupies two - guys you said it terrier 'only Smith they could touchdown plays as a red zone you know you talked about guys have just brought in off the street or guys he not only one team maybe didn't want to back carriers been with four teams in two years what about this road is set to Robbins I mean you talked about big time throws right there and and want greater fans around the country should be excited about this because right now Jon Gruden and Derek Carr are on the same page and that's a great combination Derek Carr believes in Jon Gruden john bruton believes a Derek Carr that's your cornerstone and you'll continue to build and they have a bunch of draft picks coming up and all kinds of good things for the Raiders but the cornerstone and the quarterback are in place and the head coaches in place for a long time right now frosti Rutger who's a defensive lineman is in there right now blocking in place of Feliciano [Applause] and HD look this game's not over 35s watch halftime right there through the years here we have the touchdown we got the big sack wound up capping off the final drive of the first half for a touchdown his last two drives he's not [Applause] just a moment ago and close the touchdown to chew juice miss Schuster all they need is a field goal laterz lead 2421 of the steelers have one timeout left anything can happen in NFL's witness today if anybody watched the Patriots dolphins go on bullied on the double triple lateral thing Steelers can help themselves if they get any type of return [Applause] this is such a huge game for Pittsburgh had a chance to pull a game up game and a half up on the Ravens opportunities and to go with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback this entire second half until their most recent Drive when once this brother took him down the field for a touchdown [Applause] now Switzer this atchoo up some more time he's running straight for the sideline then gets out of bounds in the 30-yard line so for a 53-yard field goal that means you put the ball down roughly in the 43 53 is the premier long for Bosma so you'd have to get to the 35-yard line [Applause] about 55 in warmups go that direction [Applause] interview you want to make sure that you gave yourself learn who did him it's shot at a hill [Applause] one timeout left fifteen seconds for me [Applause] and here's a lateral nice shoes - Danis and Lloyd in a 50 the 40 the 30 tag it's overrated [Applause] you make place for this he's gonna come time perfectly right here the execution of this is beautiful first of all you have to throw the fastball so he can catch it cleanly in Washington does a great job of pitching and dismissed Shuster in the effort on making the play down the field and I tell you one he just got out of balance in the nick of time five seconds left so here comes a field goal drive 40 yards out by Oslo he missed from 39 early on Anniston time good step toot horn [Applause] it looked like Gosnell lost his footing I don't know it had anything to do with this block well first of all yeah I think it did Tom because it's such a low kick you see that he slipped right there that ball had no chance because he's going to hit the rear end of an offensive lineman the poor footing again we talked about it all game a chance great effort there's no shot the first time the Steelers touched the ball we saw their return man fall down Brian Switzer trying to bring it back and on their final play their kicker loses his footing and John drew and then the Raiders will sell
