The Jets TAKEOFF In Cincy: Jets vs Bengals Week 8 SHOOTOUT

The Jets TAKEOFF In Cincy: Jets vs Bengals Week 8 SHOOTOUT

DOWN.
SPERO: YOU THINK ISAIAH DAVIS IS PLAYING HIMSELF INTO A BIGGER
ROLE IN THIS JETS OFFENSE? HE’S BEEN TERRIFIC FOR NEW YORK.
HERE’S BREECE HALL BREAKING ONE FOR THE JETS.
HALL! SECOND EFFORT, AND HE’S IN FOR
THE TOUCHDOWN! ADAM: HE MAY HAVE —
SPERO: DID HE STAY INBOUNDS? ADAM: RIGHT ABOUT THE 3-YARD
LINE. THERE’S A QUESTION.
DID THE RIGHT FOOT? I DON’T WANT TO BE A DEBBIE
DOWNER, BUT IT’S CLOSE. SPERO: IF IT STANDS, IT’S A
27-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN. RIGHT FOOT IN.
RIGHT THERE, RIGHT AT THE 3-YARD LINE.
BOY, IT’S CLOSE FROM THAT VANTAGE POINT.
ADAM: I SEE GREEN GRASS. I THINK I SEE A SLIVER OF GREEN.
SPERO: AND YOU STILL GOT THE 12:10.
I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT. BREECE HALL GOT HIS FIRST
RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON EARLIER.
AND HE’S GOT ANOTHER ONE HERE. ADAM: INTERESTING CALL RIGHT
HERE, ISN’T IT? SPERO: JETS ALREADY WITHIN
EIGHT. THEY’RE GOING FOR THE TWO HERE.
INTERESTING INDEED. FIELDS.
HE EVADES, AND IT’S CAUGHT BY DAVIS.
THEY’RE GOING TO RULE IT INCOMPLETE.
ARCH, INTERESTING PUTTING IT MILDLY.
YOU’RE DOWN EIGHT, 7:52 LEFT. INSTEAD OF KICKING THE EXTRA
POINT, GETTING IT DOWN TO SEVEN, YOU GO FOR A TWO-POINT
CONVERSION. ADAM: YOU ONLY DO THAT IF, IN
YOUR MIND, YOU’RE GOING FOR THE WIN.
AND YOU’RE SAYING, HEY, WE’RE NOT HERE TO TIE IT.
WE’RE HERE TO WIN. REFEREE: RULED A CATCH AND
SHORT. WE’RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE PLAY.
SPERO: OFFICIALS WILL RULE IT. CALL ON THE FIELD IS INCOMPLETE
ON THE ATTEMPTED TWO. CERTAINLY THE DECISION FOR AARON
GLENN RAISES SOME EYEBROWS, BUT CLEARLY, ARCH, HE’S THINKING
WE’RE GOING FOR THE WIN, NOT FOR ANY TIE POTENTIALLY DOWN THE
ROAD. SO HENCE THE DECISION TO GO FOR
TWO. FIELDS, THE BODY CONTROL, JUST
TO GIVE DAVIS A CHANCE. ADAM: OH, I DON’T KNOW IF THEY
BROKE THE PLANE. SPERO: GENE STERATORE, A LOT TO
UNPACK HERE. HOW DO YOU SEE THIS SEQUENCE?
GENE: A LOT. BUT I THINK WHAT YOU REALLY HAVE
TO LOOK AT AND REMEMBER, ONLY THE TIP OF A FOOTBALL HAS TO
BREAK THE PLANE OF THAT GOAL LINE.
SO IF YOU JUST HAVE A PIECE. NOSE OF THAT FOOTBALL BREAKING
THE WHITE THAT HAVE GOAL LINE, TECHNICALLY, OFFICIALLY, YOU’VE
GOT A TWO-POINT CONVERSION TOUCHDOWN.
YOU’VE GOT SCORING PLAY. AND WHEN I’M WATCHING DAVIS HERE
WITH THIS BALL AS IT GOES IN AND HE CRADLES IT, IF HE POSSESSED
THAT RIGHT AWAY, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ANGLE.
WE WATCH THIS COME IN, I’LL WATCH THE NOSE THAT HAVE
FOOTBALL RIGHT AT THIS POINT. LOOK, IF HE’S POSSESSED THAT
FOOTBALL RIGHT THERE, AND YOU ONLY HAVE A PIECE OF THAT
FOOTBALL TOUCHING THE WHITE OR BREAKING THE WHITE, GO WITH THE
SUCCESSFUL TWO-POINT CONVERSION. ADAM: GENE, I GOT A QUESTION.
AT WHAT POINT WHEN YOU’RE IN THE AIR LIKE THAT CAN YOU DETERMINE
POSSESSION OF THE FOOTBALL? REFEREE: THE RECEIVER CAUGHT THE
BALL AND WAS BEYOND THE GOAL LINE WHEN HE CAUGHT IT.
TWO-POINT IS GOOD. SPERO: ALL RIGHT, WE APPRECIATE
GENE ALL OVER IT. BOY, THE DECISION FROM AARON
GLENN TO GO FOR TWO. ADAM: THE THEORY BEHIND THAT IS
KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE TO SCORE AGAIN.
THE ODDS AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF YOU SCORING ONE OUT OF TWO,
TWO-POINT CONVERSIONS IS HIGHER. YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING?
SAYING THAT, HEY, IF WE SCORE AGAIN, THE ODDS AND THE
STATISTICS SAY WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF CONVERTING IT TO THEN
BE ABLE TO TIE THE GAME. SPERO: SO GLENN GOES FOR THE
TWO. THEY CUT IT TO SIX.
AND WE GOT A BRAND-NEW GAME ONCE AGAIN HERE IN CINCINNATI.
7:52 LEFT. ARCH, I ALWAYS LOOK TO SEE WHAT
KIND OF FIGHT A TEAM THAT’S IN THE POSITION THAT THE JETS ARE,
0-7E7, WINLESS AFTER SEVEN WEEKS, HOW DO THEY PERFORM AND
FIGHT FOR THEIR EMBATTLED HEAD COACH?
ADAM: BOTH TEAMS, THE RUN GAME HERE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER
COMING TO LIFE. SPERO: RETURN HERE FROM CHARLIE
JONES. AND THE JETS GET DOWN THE FIELD,
DECENT KICK COVERAGE, AND CINCINNATI IS GOING TO HAVE IT
JUST INSIDE THE 30. “THE NFL TODAY” UPDATE DELIVERED
BY LITTLE CAESARS AM O, TIME PERMITTING.
J.B. AND THE CREW FROM NEW YORK, WE’LL GET YOU ALL THE LATEST NFL
SCORES AND HIGHLIGHTS. ADAM: HERE’S THE DILEMMA THAT
AARON GLENN AND STEVE WILKS, THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR OF THE
JETS, HAVE. YOU’D LIKE TO SAY, HEY, WE’RE
GOING TO LOAD UP AND PLAY THE BOX.
BUT THERE’S ONE PROBLEM. WE STILL, THAT’S GOING TO PUT US
ONE-ON-ONE WITH CHASE AND HIGGINS.
AS YOU SAW LAST WEEK, FLACCO HAS NO PROBLEMS.
IF HE SEE THAT IS ONE-ON-ONE, ESPECIALLY IN PRESS COVERAGE,
HE’S GOING DOWNTOWN, THEN WHO’S GOING TO WIN THAT BATTLE?
THE MONEY IS ON THE JETS RECEIVERS.
SPERO: THAT’S THE DILEMMA, AS CHASE RULES THIS INCOMPLETE.
ONE OF THE FEW MISSES FOR JA’MARR CHASE.
IT WILL BE SECOND AND 10. LET’S GET A “NFL TODAY” UPDATE.
TO NEW YORK AND ADAM SCHEIN. ADAM SCHEIN: SPERO, ARCH, IT’S
DAK PRESCOTT AND THE DALLAS COWBOYS TAKING ON BO NIX AND THE
DENVER BRONCOS. JIM, TONY, TRACY COMING UP, 4:25
EASTERN TIME. THAT’S GOING TO BE A SHOW.
BACK TO YOU. SPERO: ADAM, WE’LL BE KEEPING
CLOSE TABS ON THAT ONE. SECOND AND 10.
FLACCO OVER THE MIDDLE. IT IS INCOMPLETE.
FIRST TIME WE REALLY CALLED THE NAME IOSIVAS.
BROWNLEE WAS WITH HIM STEP FOR STEP, AND IT IS THIRD AND 10 FOR
THE BENGALS. ADAM: THIS HELPS OUT THE NEW
YORK JETS. THEY’RE ONLY DOWN NOW BY SIX
POINTS, 7:41 ON THE CLOCK. BUT NOW YOU’VE SAVED THEM WITH
TWO STOPPAGES OF THE CLOCK, IF THEY DON’T GET IT ON THEIR NEXT
POSSESSION, YOU ARE JUST GIVING THEM MORE AND MORE TIME TO GET
BACK INTO THIS GAME. SPERO: CROWD QUIETS DOWN.
FLACCO FROM THE GUN ON THIRD AND 10.
BUYING HIMSELF SOME TIME, AND THEY FINALLY GET TO HIM.
FIRST SACK FOR THE JETS TODAY, AND IT’S WILL MCDONALD.
JUST A MASSIVE PLAY FOR STEVE WILKS AND THIS DEFENSE.
ADAM: HE HAD TO COME A LONG, LONG WAY.
WILL MCDONALD ALL THE WAY FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD.
LOOK AT HIM WRAP AROUND AND END UP MAKING THAT PLAY OFF FLACCO.
THE FIRST SACK OF THE GAME, AND THEY HAVE GOTTEN ZERO PRESSURE
ON FLACCO, AND NOW ALL THE SUDDEN THIS GAME GOT
INTERESTING. SPERO: SIX-POINT GAME AS THE
JETS ARE GOING TO GET IT BACK. ISAIAH WILLIAMS OFF A BOUNCE,
CROSSES THE 30. WILLIAMS, NIFTY RETURNING IN
THIS GAME FROM ISAIAH WILLIAMS. 18 ON THE RETURN AFTER THE
56-YARD PUNT BY REHKOW. AND FINALLY TACKLED ON THE PLAY
BY TAHJ BROOKS. AND WE GOT A BRAND-NEW GAME HERE
IN CINCINNATI. FIRST DOWN, JETS.
EXCELLENT STARTING FIELD POSITION FROM THEIR 42.
ADAM: LISTEN, JUST BECAUSE THEY WENT DOWN ON THAT LAST
POSSESSION, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS CRITICAL FOR THEM GETTING BACK
IN THIS GAME, AND GOT SEVEN POINTS, NOW YOU’RE SITTING IN A
REALLY GOOD SPOT. 6:50 LEFT, AND YOUR RUN GAME HAS
STARTED TO COME ALIVE. THE BENGALS SEEMINGLY HAVEN’T
HAD AN ANSWER FOR YOU RUNNING THE FOOTBALL IN THIS SECOND
HALF. SPERO: PLAY-ACTION FROM FIELDS.
FIELDS GOING TO TAKE A SHOT, AND HE DELIVERS A STRIKE OFF THE
SIDELINE TO ARIAN SMITH. AND ANOTHER MONSTER THROW FROM
FIELDS, A PICKUP OF 23. ADAM: ARIAN SMITH, HE’S GOT THE
WHEELS, AND HE CAN FLY. AND WHEN YOU GOT SPEED LIKE
THAT, IT’S NOT ALWAYS DO YOU JUST RUN THE GO ROUTE, BUT DO
YOU HAVE THE THREAT OF RUNNING BY A DEFENSIVE BACK?
YOU PUT ON THE BRAKES, AND THE QUARTERBACK DELIVERS THE BALL.
SPERO: HERE’S BREECE HALL. HALL SLIPS A TACKLE.
HALL, VERY CLOSE TO ANOTHER JET FIRST DOWN, DOWN TO THE
CINCINNATI 25. WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL FROM
SCOTT NOVAK. AND NOW THEY SAY FIRST DOWN,
JETS. A LITTLE BIT OF A BOBBLE, OSSAI
CONVERGING ON THE TACKLE WITH KNIGHT, AND SOMEHOW HALL ABLE TO
MAINTAIN POSSESSION. HERE’S WILLIAMS, DUCKS INSIDE
THE 20. JUST CRAZY TO WATCH THIS, ARCH.
THE JETS OFFENSE WENT TWO WEEKS WITHOUT A TOUCHDOWN.
THEY’RE APPROACHING 500 YARDS OF TOTAL OFFENSE IN THIS GAME, JUST
A STUNNER. ADAM: OH, MAN.
YOU EVER EXPERIMENT WITH TAKING CRAZY PILLS?
TODAY IS MY FIRST TIME. AND IT’S BEEN WILD.
SPERO: SECOND AND 5, JETS. JUSTIN FIELDS, THEIR EMBATTLED
QUARTERBACK, TAKING HIS LUMPS FROM THE MEDIA THIS SEASON, THE
FAN BASE, ALL OF HIS TROUBLES, TRYING TO PUT IT ALL BEHIND HIM,
AND SOMEHOW GET THE JETS A ROAD WIN HERE IN CINCINNATI IN WEEK
EIGHT. HALL TACKLED ON THE PLAY BY
KNIGHT TO SET UP A THIRD AND 1, FIVE MINUTES LEFT.
ADAM: I’VE BEEN PRAISING THE BENGALS OFFENSIVE LINE, BUT I
THINK IT’S TIME TO GIVE THE JETS OFFENSIVE LINE THEIR DUE.
IT’S BEEN ONE-ON-ONE TACKLED BETWEEN THESE JETS BACKS,
WHETHER IT’S DAVIS OR BREECE HALL ON LINEBACKERS AND
SAFETIES. AND THEE BEEN AGE TO WIN THAT
MATCHUP — ABLE TO WIN THAT MATCHUP.
BOTH OFFENSIVE LINES TODAY REALLY GETTING THE JOB DONE.
SPERO: THIRD AND LONG. FIELDS ON THE KEEPER.
FIELDS LEANING BACK. WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO SPOT
THIS FOOTBALL? LINE IT RIGHT AT THE 15.
FIRST DOWN, JETS. AND ARCH, THEY ARE APPROACHING
260 RUSHING YARDS IN THIS GAME, JUST WILD.
CLOCK RUNNING, FOUR AND CHANGE. BOTH COACHES THINKING ABOUT THE
TIME-OUT SITUATION. CERTAINLY IF YOU’RE ZAC TAYLOR
HERE, JETS TRYING TO RUN THAT THING AS MUCH AS THEY CAN.
SIX-POINT CINCINNATI LEAD. FRESH SET OF DOWNS FOR THE JETS.
FIELDS FROM THE GUN, OPERATING OVER THE MIDDLE.
COMPLETE, IT’S DAVIS AGAIN. TACKLED BY LOGAN WILSON.
IT’S A PICKUP OF NINE. SECOND AND SHORT.
CLOCK RUNNING, 3:34 LEFT. I’M SURE MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE
NFL HAD PREDICTED THIS KIND OF OUTCOME.
SIX-POINT LEAD FOR CINCINNATI. THEIR NEW QUARTERBACK, JOE
FLACCO, CAME IN RED HOT, RIDING HIGH FROM A CONFIDENCE
STANDPOINT AFTER THEIR THURSDAY NIGHT WIN AGAINST PITTSBURGH
LAST WEEK, GETTING EVERYTHING THEY CAN HANDLE FROM THE WINLESS
JETS. DAVIS GOING TO LOSE A YARD.
SLATON AMONG THE TACKLERS, AS CINCINNATI GETS THAT PUSH UP THE
MIDDLE. ADAM: THAT’S ONE OF THE VERY FEW
TIMES IN THIS GAME THAT WE’VE SEEN SOMEBODY FROM CINCINNATI’S
DEFENSE GET INTO THAT JETS BACKFIELD.
IN THEIR LAST DRIVE, IT WAS REALLY THE JETS RUN GAME THAT
LED TO THEM GETTING THEIR TOUCHDOWN, TO GET BACK IN THIS.
NOW, THIS SEASON, SPERO, CINCINNATI’S RED ZONE DEFENSE
HAS NOT BEEN VERY GOOD. TODAY THEY’VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD.
BUT RIGHT NOW YOU ASK YOURSELF, IF YOU’RE THE JETS, KNOWING THAT
YOU DON’T HAVE TO SCORE, YOU CAN STILL GET A FIRST DOWN AND A NEW
SET, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO PICK UP THIS TWO YARDS?
SPERO: THIRD AND 2. SIDEARM DELIVERY, IT’S CAUGHT.
FIRST DOWN, JETS. MASON TAYLOR ABLE TO SQUEEZE IT.
HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO GET HIT BY DAX HILL, A PICKUP OF THREE.
FIRST DOWN AND GOAL TO GO FOR THE JETS.
ADAM: OH, THAT IS A BIG-TIME THROW, AND A BIG-TIME CATCH.
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ACCURACY, FIELDS PUT IT IN THE PERFECT
PLACE FOR HIS TIGHT END TO GET THAT FOOTBALL.
SPERO: WHAT A PERFORMANCE BY JUSTIN FIELDS LEADING THE JETS
DOWN THE FIELD AS WE HIT THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING HERE IN
CINCINNATI. THE JETS AT NEARLY 500 YARDS OF
TOTAL OFFENSE, BUT THEY NEED POINTS. [CAPTIONING FUNDED BY CBS SPORT]
[CAPTIONING PERFORMED BY THE NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE,
WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS CAPTION CONTENT AND ACCURACY.
VISIT NCICAP.ORG] SPERO: WHAT A CRAZY GAME IN
NEATH. THIS WAS THE SCENE JUST A COUPLE
OF SECONDS AGO. JOE FLACCO WINCING IN PAIN ON
THE CINCINNATI SIDELINE. IT WAS THE RIGHT SHOULDER THAT
THEY’RE LOOKING AT AS THEY TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT HIM.
THAT JUST ADDS TO THE INTRIGUE HERE DOWN THE STRETCH.
HALL THOUGHT ABOUT IT, NOW TOSSES TO THE END ZONE, AND HE’S
GOT TAYLOR FOR THE JETS TOUCHDOWN!
AND THIS CINCINNATI CROWD STUNNED.
AS THE JETS HAVE COME ALL THE WAY BACK, AND THEY’VE GOT A SHOT
TO TAKE THE LEAD WITH 1:54 LEFT. ADAM: I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HALL
THREW THIS FOOTBALL, AND THEN TAYLOR, HE JUST HAD TOPS.
TURNER JUST GOES OVER THE TOP AND TAKES IT FROM HIM.
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE, SPERO. SPERO: HOW ABOUT THE PLAY CALL
FROM TANNER ENGSTRAND? A RUNNING BACK PASS IN THAT KIND
OF A MOMENT. FOR AN O.C. AND PLAY CALLER
THAT’S BEEN UNDER THE GUN, ALL THE HITS HE’S TAKEN WITH SOME OF
THE OFFENSIVE STRUGGLES, UNBELIEVABLE.
THE JETS WERE DOWN 31-16 WITH 2:30 LEFT IN THE THIRD QUARTER.
CINCINNATI LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE.
SUDDENLY YOU’RE DOWN A POINT, AND YOUR STARTING QUARTERBACK,
ARCH, IS IN THE LOCKER ROOM. ADAM: THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
WATCH BREECE HALL. BECAUSE TURNER, NUMBER 20, HE
DOES A PRETTY GOOD JOB HERE, BUT HIS BACK IS TO THE RUNNER.
HE SEES TAYLOR. BUT BOY, WHAT A JOB FROM TAYLOR
TO TAKE IT AWAY. AND NOW IT’S NOT FLACCO, IT’S
JAKE BROWNING WHO HAS TO COME IN HERE AND TRY TO SAVE THE DAY FOR
THE CINCINNATI BENGALS. SPERO: HOW QUICKLY CAN THE
BENGALS NOW PSYCHOLOGICALLY TURN THE PAGE?
HERE COMES JOE FLACCO. LIKE WILLIS REED COMING OUT OF
THE LOCKER ROOM HERE FOR THE BENGALS, AS HE QUICKLY TROTS TO
THE SIDELINE. ALL EYES ON HIM AS EVERYONE SETS
UP HERE FOR THE KICKOFF. LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO GET
HIM HIS HELMET. LOOKS LIKE FLACCO IS OK.
MAN, THIS IS JUST CRAZY. 398 JETS.
TRYING TO GET THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON.
DESPERATION THEY’RE PLAYING WITH TODAY.
THIS IS CHARLIE JONES OUT ACROSS THE 20.
JONES TO THE 24. AND HERE WE GO WITH 1:48 LEFT.
JOE COOL, HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE BEEN IN THIS POSITION IN HIS
CAREER? HOW ABOUT THE NEW YORK JETS?
TRYING TO GET THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON.
ADAM: BOY, WHAT CAN YOU SAY? THEY’VE DONE IT REALLY IN ALL
PHASES. BUT IT’S THAT RUN GAME, SPERO.
BREECE HALL, 18 ATTEMPTS, 133 YARDS.
ISAIAH DAVIS WITH THE LONG 50-YARD RUN THAT REALLY GOT THAT
PARTY STARTED. AND THEN HALL DOES IT WITH THE
TOUCHDOWN PASS TO HIS TIGHT END, TAYLOR.
UNBELIEVABLE SECOND HALF. SPERO: CINCINNATI BEGINS THE
DRIVE. YOU GOT ALL THREE TIME-OUTS
LEFT. JA’MARR CHASE, THE COMPLETION
FROM FLACCO. SO YOU GOT PLENTY OF CLOCK.
JOE COOL HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION A MILLION TIMES IN HIS
CAREER, AS WE APPROACH 90 SECONDS.
ADAM: AND LISTEN, CERTAINLY THERE’S A FEW FACTORS HERE.
OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO BE IN POSITION TO KICK THE FIELD GOAL,
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, OFFENSES THESE
DAYS ONLY NEED ABOUT 30 SECONDS. SPERO: CHASE BROWN GETS INTO THE
SECOND LEVEL. AND ARCH, JUST ADDING TO THE
IMPORTANCE OF THIS GAME, CINCINNATI TRYING TO GET
THEMSELVES BACK IN THE CONVERSATION IN THE A.F.C.
NORTH. THIS IS ONE THAT YOU CAN’T
AFFORD TO MISS. ADAM: IT’S A HUGE GAME.
AS HIGH AS THE VIBE HAS BEEN HERE FOR CINCINNATI, COMING OUT
OF THAT THURSDAY NIGHT GAME, YOU KNOW, AFTER PRETTY MUCH BEING
ALMOST A LOST SEASON, ALL THE OPTIMISM AND ENTHUSIASM AND
EVERYTHING THAT FLACCO HAS DONE FOR THIS OFFENSE AND THIS TEAM,
BOY, THIS IS ONE THAT YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO DROP IF YOU’RE THE
BENGALS. SPERO: FLACCO UP THE SEAM.
THAT ONE DEFLECTED IN THE AIR, MY GOODNESS, NEARLY PICKED.
IOSIVAS WAS THE INTENDED TARGET. JAMIEN SHERWOOD HAD A CHANCE.
ADAM: BOY, JAMIEN SHERWOOD, NUMBER 44, GETS HIS RIGHT HAND,
RIGHT THERE. BACK IS TO THE FOOTBALL, GETS
HIS HAND IN THERE. BOY, THAT IS A GREAT JOB BY
SHERWOOD. THAT’S A TIGHT WINDOW THROW FROM
FLACCO, BUT SHERWOOD REALLY IS THE ONE THAT MADE THAT HAPPEN.
SPERO: CINCINNATI NEEDS ABOUT 18 YARDS, MAYBE 17 TO GET INTO THE
FIELD GOAL RANGE OF MCPHERSON. ADAM: NOW YOU HAVE TO CALL A
TIME-OUT. SPERO: ZAC TAYLOR WILL TAKE ONE
HERE, DOWN TO 37 SECONDS. AS HE LOOKS DOWN AT THAT PLAY
SHEET. THIRD DOWN COMING UP FOR THE
BENGALS. AND JUST AGONY FOR THESE FANS
WHO THOUGHT THIS ONE WAS IN THE WIN COLUMN JUST A COUPLE OF
MINUTES AGO. STAY TUNED, “THE NFL TODAY”
UPDATE DELIVERED BY LITTLE CAESARS, TIME PERMITTING, J.B.
AND THE CREW STANDING BY. GET YOU ALL THE SCORES AND
HIGHLIGHTS TO YOUR HEART’S CONTENT.
37 SECONDS WITH TWO TIME-OUTS. ADAM: HOW ABOUT AARON GLENN
GOING FOR THAT TWO-POINT CONVERSION ON THEIR FIRST
TOUCHDOWN, AND THEN CHALLENGING IT AFTER IT WAS RULED.
SPERO: ALL THE DECISIONS TO TRY TO PUT HIS TEAM IN A POSITION TO
GET ONE HERE. FLACCO, HERE THEY COME.
FLACCO UNDER DURESS, JUST HAS TO THROW IT UP AND OUT OF BOUNDS.
IT WAS JOHNSON, THEY DIAL UP THE .PRESSURE TO THROW THE TIMING
OFF FOR FLACCO. ADAM: HERE YOU GO, FOR ALL
INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THIS COULD BE A SEASON-DEFINING WIN OR LOSS
HERE FOR CINCINNATI. AND YOU KNOW, CHASE HAS BEEN
KIND OF QUIET HERE IN THE SECOND HALF.
HAD A REALLY GOOD FIRST HALF, HAD A LOT OF TARGETS IN THE
FIRST HALF. BUT THE JETS HAVE DONE A NICE
JOB OF TAKING HIM OUT OF THE GAME.
RIGHT NOW, CHASE BY HIMSELF, ISOLATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
SCREEN. THERE’S NO DOUBT THEY’LL HAVE
SAFETY HELP. SPERO: FOURTH AND 9.
FLACCO PROTECTED. FACCO’S PASS INCOMPLETE, AND
THE JETS ARE GOING TO DO IT HERE IN CINCINNATI!
IOSIVAS, THE INTENDED TARGET. JARVIS BROWNLEE WAS RIGHT THERE
FOR THE JETS. AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS CINCINNATI
CROWD STUNNED. ADAM: WELL, THIS STARTS ON THE
THIRD DOWN. JERMAINE JOHNSON IS GOING TO
WRAP INSIDE, AND HE’S GOING TO GET THE PRESSURE.
SO FLACCO JUST TRIES TO GET RID OF THIS FOOTBALL, JUST THROW IT
AWAY, NOWHERE TO GO WITH THE FOOTBALL.
AND NOW THAT’S GOING TO FORCE A BIG FOURTH DOWN.
AND YOU’VE GOT TO BE ONE-ON-ONE. THE ATTENTION IS ON CHASE AND
HIGGINS. BROWNLEE KNOWS HE’S GOING TO BE
THE ONE TO MAKE A PLAY, AND YOU CAN’T COVER IOSIVAS ANY BETTER
THAN THAT. SPERO: AARON GLENN, EVERYTHING
HIM AND HIS STAFF HAVE HAD TO CONTEND WITH, THE QUESTIONS,
SPARRING SESSIONS WITH THE NEW YORK MEDIA.
THIS IS HIS MOMENT. THEY FINALLY GET ONE.
A GUY WHO’S BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE HIS PREVIOUS
YEARS WITH DETROIT, THE 2021 LIONS TEAM, ALL THE LOSSES
PILING UP BEFORE THEY TASTED VICTORY.
HOPING FOR SIMILAR FORTUNES WITH THE NEW YORK JETS.
AS THEY FINALLY GET A WIN IN THE EIGHTH WEEK OF THE SEASON.
TO GET TO 1-7, AND JUST A KILLER LOSS FOR THE CINCINNATI BENGALS.
ADAM: IT IS. IF YOU’RE AARON GLENN, THE WAY
YOU’VE REBOUNDED AFTER THE LAST THREE WEEKS, ESPECIALLY LAST
WEEK, A 39-POINT EXPLOSION. AND IF YOU’RE THE BENGALS, YOU
FIGURE YOU’RE PLAYING THE JETS, A TEAM THAT HASN’T WON, YOU’RE
COMING OFF A BIG-TIME HIGH, THE THURSDAY NIGHT AGAINST
PITTSBURGH. YOU SCORE 38 POINTS AGAINST THE
WORST OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE, AND YOU END UP LOSING THIS GAME BY
ONE POINT. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DEFLATING FOR
THE CINCINNATI BENGALS. SPERO: LET’S GO DOWNSTAIRS TO
ADITI STANDING BY WITH JUSTIN FIELDS.
ADITI: JUSTIN, I DID NOT SEE A POKER FACE RIGHT THERE.
JUSTIN: GOD IS GOOD. THAT’S ALL I GOT TO SAY.
IT’S SIMPLE. GOD IS GOOD.
ALL THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS WE’VE HAD THIS WHOLE SEASON —
>> YES, SIR! JUSTIN: FROM LAST WEEK TO THIS
WEEK, JUST ALL THE NOISE AROUND, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID EARLIER IN
THE WEEK, I FOND MY PEACE IN HIM.
I’M GOING TO KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE, GOD IS GOOD.
ADITI: IT’S BRINGING THE CONFIDENCE FROM THE PRACTICE
FIELD TO THIS FIELD. HOW DID YOU DO IT TODAY?
JUSTIN: WE DID A GREAT JOB. I TOLD GOD BEFORE THE GAME,
BELIEF, FOCUS, AND JUST PLAYING FREE AND HAVING FUN OUT THERE.
SO WE DID A GREAT JOB OUT THERE. I’M PROUD OF ALL THE GUYS, PROUD
OF THE DEFENSE, PROUD OF THE OFFENSE, AND WE FOUGHT TO THE
END. ADITI: HOW DO YOU BUILD OFF OF
WIN NUMBER ONE? JUSTIN: WE KEEP GOING.
JUST KEEP BUILDING, KEEP GETTING 1% BETTER EVERY DAY.
ADITI: GIVE US ONE OF THE SMILES.
JUSTIN: APPRECIATE YOU. SPERO: ALL THE CRITICISM THAT
JUSTIN FIELDS HAS TAKEN, HE WAS STOIC ALL WEEK, AS HE’S LED THE
JETS TO A REALLY SHOCK VICTORY AGAINST THIS RESURGENT BENGALS
TEAM ON THE ROAD IN CINCINNATI. JETS 39, BENGALS 38.
“THE NFL TODAY” UPDATE DELIVERED BY LITTLE CAESARS IS NEXT.
NOW FOR ARCH AND ADITI, OUR PRODUCER JASON, OUR DIRECTOR
MARK, GENE STERATORE, THIS IS SPERO DEDES SAYING SO LONG FROM
CINCINNATI. WE’LL JOIN JAMES BROWN IN NEW
YORK NEXT. stumped. Friendly insurance lizard. First letter G. Gepetto? C’mon. You just switched to
GEICO for car insurance. They knew exactly
what you needed.
