Playoff Run on the Line! (Panthers vs. Falcons 2004, Week 15)

a sellout crowd of over 71 000 at the georgia dome to see one of the game's most dynamic talents michael vick his unique skills have led the falcons to a 10-3 records and a division championship back in atlanta here's the way the playoff picture looks in the nfc philadelphia and atlanta of course with the top two records for the first round buys then green bay and seattle hanging on at seven and six right now minnesota and carolina are the two wild cards the numbers on dilom very good numbers considering where this team has been in all the injuries pressure on gallon from behind loose ball keith brooking was the guy who knocked it away who has it atlanta prairie this week just to fill in so they are really thin at running back here's done great cut and susie he has been a magnificent guy dunn takes the direct snap vic was out as a wide receiver started the program there vic pressured out of the pocket and is most dangerous 10 5 and out of bounds near the three 300 pounds at the tight end position vic and he'll lose a couple now third and goal this is where michael vick puts so much pressure on a defense when he gets on the edge floats this for finra touchdown brian finneran comes in at 6-5 and it was no contest chris gamble the rookie number one pick out of ohio state and he's the man who will go in motion they throw back to the near side the michael vick show usually on the ground so far tonight pretty good combination deloam got away from brady smith and lost the ball fortunate to get it back and his own 24 yard line we see what the falcons have done running the football number one in the league done there goes michael vick and julius pepper has chased him out of bounds to 49 and he's done it repeatedly vic this time gets outside the pocket and there's a late hit on morgan personal foul for a late head out of bounds number 55. so the falcons have it first down with the 29 and warwick dunn straight up the middle inside the 15. pursuing so quick down the line they're cutting back on the opposite side of them dunn already has 49 yards vick tries to make the fake and get outside and mark fields third and 31. vick will go to the shotgun and instead it's warrick dunn on a direct snap work done cuts to the outside takes a shot definitely a kicker who was out of football for a couple of years was discovered in the kitchen's camp in nevada knocks this one through i don't think you can run the ball twice and then throw on third and long spin the pattern here comes the blitz the quick out to muhammad he has really come through as the number one wide receiver on this club galoam to throw muhammad again who have moved into atlanta territory at the 45. jalon with time to mangum is end he was a guy who put a lot of pressure on himself after all those injuries said he thought he had to be perfect goings going out it looked like it would have been an easy touchdown dilom under pressure dumps it to goings makes a nice move to get free and going shalom with good protection throws to mohammed a touchdown well you know this team isn't gonna fold you don't start one and seven and stay in there and fold at any time dan henning the offensive coordinator i thought did a masterful job of mixing up coming as a backup from new orleans [Applause] rossum breaks it outside midfield to the 40. vic rifles this one vic under pressure and they got him this time a flag is down that tackle was made by mark fields and diamond field goal attempt from 45 yards and no good pro in motion three wide receivers dilom with time and muhammad again moose and mohammed breaking tackles as they go for the ball he was wearing a gold suit at our meeting yesterday i thought paul was going to buy it from him right there [Applause] shalom turns near side muhammad great hands held on good job by the rookie corner to get a piece of that one [Applause] two star two sports start north carolina peppers will go out to the left he did this last week they've double teamed him they couldn't throw it to him ryan scott against him this time peppers out of bounds jalome underneath to hoover and hoover can't get any closer than the four to tie the game at 10. but that was as a number two receiver and some guys simply do not make that transition and play behind eric moulds there as the featured guy now victor just gonna unload this one on what should be the last play of the half tipped and intercepted by chris campbell the rookie he's thrown 46 touchdown pass michael vick has over 800 yards rushing he's 10-3 short set he'll go to finneran or peerless price give him a chance to make a play done they were very successful running the ball dez white we are told an injured ankle his return is questionable vic rifles this one complete finally found somebody open and jenkins unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting on the offense number 12. it's the guy on the ground after it bounces though he bounces it on the ground he doesn't throw it adam paul done cuts outside past mitter down the sideline [Applause] done nice cut touchdown [Applause] it seems that this not creating an opportunity so the falcon or so the carolina panthers can get a cheap one shalom flushed and taken down third and long for delon blitz coming jalon mohamed nearly made the catch [Applause] wow sauerburn can just kill it drives rossum all the way back to the 17. got a block got another block vic under pressure just runs away from everybody that's when you know you worry about him ever getting hurt blitzcoming playing roll on the run and there were people who will tell you special human being on top of which makes it even better this pass is caught for a touchdown how did that get through oh my goodness as white made the catch wait do we show you that one on pass track i think that one might get close to 100 miles an hour here it comes here comes the rocket this thing is dropping he actually does get a pinky on it scoring passes can he do it tomorrow night jalone with time pro rickey pro has more catches than any other player in nfl history who has not gone to the pro bowl they showed blitz and backed out of a diloma in trouble loose ball it looks like the falcons have it brady smith came from a blind side and patrick kearney made the recovery i'll tell you what coverage and running the ball back joe dicamillister special teams coach is special oh that's holden vick launches this one and it's intercepted by chris campbell the pass was underthrown and michael vick still down that's the way that defense is playing tonight he had a great line in the locker room last week after they won the division after they clenched the title and here's the loam to mangum and another big shalom on second and ten under pressure somehow got out of there and throws complete to the sideline what a play by de love oh what a catch by muhammad went up and snapped it out of the air this is another this is the one of many playoff games the lone little sidearm delivery and there's the tight end side [Applause] jalome fakes the end around throws to the end zone touchdown is it mangan the tight end he's still down and it is he did it in tampa bay and now standing front office executive blitz coming vic throws underneath the crumpler and it looks like he was stopped about a yard shy of a first down time they're former basketball players right great athletic ability falcons will punt it away broussard is deep and broussard muffed the ball it's loose the falcons have it what a huge break as broussard coughs up the ball and now under the pile carolina got it back what a break for them no no they didn't excuse me even though the falcons come out with a football one of the officials points and says carolina has it he was wrong atlanta gets the ball back it's a two-yard loss i think you've got to move michael vick a little bit here get him moving a little bit pump fake he's hit oh the ball is closing julius peppers headed so long peppers oh man oh man you know who hit him it was fields number 58 came in and just crunched michael vick and julius peppers takes that baby out of the air and i'm going to tell you something there wasn't even michael vick would have never caught him this is the same philosophy that the tampa bay buccaneers have used against michael vick well here comes field they just drill him now take a look at julius peppers when he gets his ball no [Applause] rossum comes up a long way to get this and now here's the lateral it goes to d'angelo hall the rookie out of virginia tech and d'angelo hall with a huge return it was clearly short the only question how short and [Music] [Applause] he had to tuck that one away and go big play here dick hangs in the pocket rifles this one the crumpler and algae crumples down to the 22 the ball comes loose and the panthers again well i want to tell you what i got now remember he doesn't have the first down but that balls out i'm sorry and carolina has the ball back dilomb with the pocket collapsing around him and mohammed somehow held on even if they're five and eight are still in it they were one and seven folks hey one and seven you're not even mathematically in it anymore and they never quit jalome over the middle [Applause] and that's the first catch for kerry colbert the rookie out of usc it's the first time well they all certainly believe it now jalone dumps it for hoover and brad hoover inside the five driving to the one that's a first down [Applause] deloam fumbles and is taken down at the five matt stewart number 24. goings peppers gave him a block touchdown [Applause] do you believe it can't let this team go up 10 on you here they come home and their leading receiver lg coupler is on the bench blitz they don't get there white makes this catch stays inbound turns it up 30 20 10 to the five oh ricky manning jr what a [Applause] play vic he is crushed from behind the ball is loose the falcons have it back at the two is vic all right third and goal tries to go to the outside stopped just short and there's a flag at the five and there's a holding penalty against the atlanta falcons it's third and goal [Applause] vic pulls up throws tipped and tipped out of the end zone who gets to be the guy to make a play they cannot get a first down it's touchdown or nothing vic under pressure straight up the middle touchdown holy cow put the kid in a place where he can make a play that's what makes michael vick so incredibly special that's where he did it from though was from inside the pocket he just ran straight up the field but the formation spread the entire carolina panther defense out there he is touched his knee is not on the ground i believe he's him his knee is his knee never goes down on the ground how he manages to keep his knees off the ground is incredible he is airborne right there it's a touchdown and no part of his body has made contact dalome with time to the sideline little toss to goings i don't know about that play call goings knocked down by dimorio williams absolutely and then i think you've got to do this on third and long they are just going to play for overtime carolina will call the toss tails and heads heads is called it's heads carolina won the toss they will receive which goal are you going to defend four-man rush deloam going deep and overthrows muhammad he had a step where is ricky pro get one of those tight ends blitz coming they pick it up too high for pull intercepted aaron beasley beasley back to the 25 to the 23. a 30-yard return for aaron beasley who in his final year at west virginia led the ncaa an interception this would make the falcons 11-3 got it atlanta wins it over time and the rookie head coach wins another big ball game at home and the carolina panthers
