McCARTHY OUT OF THE GUN, GOING DOWN, AS THE FALCONS GET TO HIM.
IT WILL BE A THREE AND OUT. JAMES PIERCE JR., ONE OF THE TWO
FIRST ROUND PICKS GETS THERE FOR HIS FIRST FULL SET.
>> Cris: TAKE A LOOK AT PEARCE GOING TO SEE SOMEBODY THEY LIKE

TWO DEEP SAFETY LOOK TRYING TO AVOID THAT POSSIBILITY.
>> Mike: BOELGT BACKS IN NOW, OR MORE SACKS THE LAST FEW
YEARS. HE’S GOT ONE HERE.

BEEN BUGGING THIS OFFENSIVE LINE.

ABOUT CALLING THOSE PLAYS. >> Mike: FROM THE 7 YARD LINE,
J.J. PRESSURE ON FROM BEHIND. JALON WALKER AROUND THE EDGE,
THE ROOKIE OUT OF GEORGIA WITH THE SACK.
SO, BOTH FIRST ROUND PICKS, PEARCE AND WALKER, HAVE SACKS IN
THIS FIRST HALF. >> Cris: AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS
THE SAME HERE. UNTIL CHRISTIAN DARRISAW COMES
BACK, JUSTIN SKULE IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET HELP.
AND THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAD TO HELP HIM MORE IN THIS
GAME THAN THEY DID LAST TIME. AND PAID THE PRICE.
>> Mike: THAT IS THE BUTTKISS AWARD WINNER.
CHRISTIAN DARRISAW THERE ON THE SIDELINE WATCHING.

FIRST HALF. — FOR THE FALCONS IN THIS FIRST
HALF, AND THAT IS BRANDON HALF, AND THAT IS BRANDON
— THE GUY WHO WAS GIGGLING
EARLIER. AND THE FALCONS HAVE AN INJURY.
>> THIS HAS NOT BEEN A GOOD HALF FOR THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS.
AND YOU CAN TELL IT IS JUST — McCARTHY IS TRYING TO GET IT
FIGURED OUT. THEY’VE THROWN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT LOOKS AT HIM. THEY’VE THROWN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT STUNTS AND BLITZES. AND THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO
REALLY SIMPLIFY TO START THE IT WAS THIS TIME MONDAY THAT
J.J. McCARTHY AND THE VIKINGS WERE DOWN 17-6 TO THE BEARS AND
J.J. HAD A THREE-TOUCHDOWN FOURTH QUARTER.
CAN HE BOOKEND THE WEEK WITH ANOTHER BIG QUARTER?
NOT STARTING LIKE THAT. THAT BALL’S OUT AND RECOVERED BY
DIVINE DEABLO. THE PRESSURE CAME FROM ZACH
HARRISON, TWISTING McCARTHY AND FORCING THE FUMBLE.
>> Cris: UNBELIEVABLE. THIS PRESSURE IS GOING TO COME
RIGHT OFF THE EDGE. AND NOT ONE PERSON GETS A FINGER
ON A DEFENSIVE EDGE PLAYER. IT’S JUST — I DON’T — THIS IS

STUMBLES DOWN, SECOND EFFORT. THEY’RE GOING TO MARK HIM DOWN
AT THE 26-YARD LINE. ZACH HARRISON AMONG THOSE
PUTTING THE PRESSURE ON MARIOTA. INSIDE MOVE.
THE GUARD’S GOING TO LEAVE HIM ALONE.
HE DOESN’T HAVE THE CENTER HELP, WHICH THEN GIVES A COMPLETE FREE
PASS UP THE MIDDLE. SLIGHT MISCOMMUNICATION.
THEY HAVE BEEN SHUFFLING THAT IAN: THE DEEP TALK ON THE YELLOW
SHIRT — THE DEEP TUCK ON THE YELLOW SHIRT.
J.J.: THINK ABOUT THE TIME YOU START CREEPING DOWN, HERE.
>> Chris: 8 YARDS IN HIS FIRST CARRY.
PUMP LAKE PUMP FAKE AND HE CAN ESCAPE.
GRABBING RIGHT NEAR THE LINE OF JUST RUSHING TO RUN A LITTLE
GAME INSIDE. STILL ON THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN
SEE THE FIRST ROUND, WALKER DOES A NICE JOB AGAINST SPENCER
BROWN. COMMUNICATION IS HUGE FOR THIS
OFFENSIVE LINE RIGHT NOW. >> Chris: ACROSS THE CENTER
BRINGING PRESSURE RIGHT AWAY. ALLEN WILL BE SWARMED.
ALLEN IS NOW HOLDING HIS ARM. BROUGHT THE PRESSURE, WHAT AN
AWFUL SERIES FOR BUFFALO IN THE >> Louis: A NICE JOB OF
GETTING THE FREE RUNNER. YOU CAN SEE HERE, HE IS JUST
GOING TO LOOP AROUND. BOTH HIM AND ALAN COMING DOWN
FREE. >> Louis: BEFORE HIS KNEE HIT,
IT WAS RECOVERED. THAT IS A GOOD CALL, IT’LL
HAPPEN ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE. DISPLAY TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE
DEFENSE. >> Chris: A BEARHUG AND A
WHISTLE. SACKED FOR THE THIRD TIME.
>> Dan: THERE IS THAT BLITZ PRESENTED.
ALMOST 50% ON DROPBACK THIS YEAR WITH THE ATLANTA DEFENSE.
SENDING FIVE OR MORE. INTO THE POCKET, GETTING
APPEALED, GETTING INTO THE THAT IS THE CHESS MATCH THAT WE
ALL LOVE RIGHT THERE. >> Chris: SECOND AND ONE.
HE WILL BE DROPPED RIGHT NEAR THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
ROBERTS LET HIM GO. 5. ATLANTA, DEFENSIVELY, THEY
KNOW THAT JOSH WILL BE A HUGE PART OF THAT. THEY DON’T WANT
TO GO FOUR-MAN RUSH RIGHT NOW AND JUST ALLOW THE QUARTERBACK
TO TAKE OFF. >> Mike: SO THEY GET KITTLE
BACK, TWO BIG NAMES STAY OUT, BROCK PURDY AND BRANDON AIYUK
STILL ON THE SIDELINE FOR SAN FRANCISCO.
MORE ON PURDY AS WE GO THROUGH THIS OPENING QUARTER.
IT’S JONES LOOKING TO GET AWAY, NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
SACKED FOR A LOSS OF A COUPLE YARDS.
ATLANTA, WHO COULD NOT GET TO THE QUARTERBACK LAST YEAR, DOING
A GREAT JOB THIS YEAR. A GREAT JOB THIS YEAR.
ZACH HARRISON IN THERE TO START. >> Cris: AND THEY’RE JUST GOING
TO RUSH FOUR TO ONE SIDE, TO THE STRONGSIDE HERE, AND TRY TO
CREATE THOSE ONE-ON-ONE BLOCKS OUT THERE.
AND ALL YOU NEED IS ONE PERSON RIGHT OFF THE START.
>> Kevin: 3RD & 9. AND HERE THEY COME, SIX MAN
RUSH, AND DOWN HE GOES! AND ELLIS LED THE BRIGADE FOR
THE FALCONS! THE NUMBER TWO DEFENSE IN THE
NFL, THEY LOSE 8 AND THEY ARE IS ON THE FIELD FOR THE FINS.
>> Trent: KEEP AN EYE, HE’S GOING TO BE COMING OFF THE SLOT
HERE. GOING TO GO RIGHT THROUGH.
WORKING HIS WAY RIGHT THROUGH. NOBODY TOUCHES HIM AS HE BLITZES
OFF THE SLOT. YOU SEE THE TURN BACK, YOU’VE
EITHER GOT TO GET RID OF THE ANDREW: MAYE STEPS UP, AND TAKEN
DOWN. THAT IS LONDON ON THE PLAY FOR
THE FALCONS DEFENSE IT WOULD COULD BE THE FINAL PLAY OF THE
FIRST QUARTER. CHARLES: VERY HEADS UP PLAY BY
LONDON ON THE PASS RUSH ANDREW: MAYE, PRESSURE COMING,
AND HE IS DROPPED. AND IT WAS BRANDON GETTING IN
THE BACKFIELD FOR THE SACK. A LOSS OF FOUR ON THE PLAY.
CHARLES: WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO GET FROM ATLANTA COME HOW
QUICKLY CAN YOU GET THE BALL OUT OF YOUR HANDS FROM QUARTERBACK
TO RECEIVER? IF THEY MAKE YOU WHOLE THE
FOOTBALL, COVERAGE IS TIGHT DOWNFIELD AND THEN MAKE YOU HOLD
IT AN EXTRA COUNT, THAT ALLOWS THE PRESSURE RUNNING AT DRAKE
MAYE TO ALLOW HIM GET THERE AND NOW THE CLOCK WILL START.
WELL WELL, IT’S SUPPOSED TO START.
MAYE, PRESSURE COMING. HE LOST THE FOOTBALL.
IT’S FREE. SCOOPED UP BY PEARCE ON THE
RETURN. AND CAMPBELL TRIPS HIM UP.
WHAT A PLAY BY WILL CAMPBELL BUT THE FALCONS GET IT WITH 23
SECONDS TO GO. JASON: IT WAS WALKER.
RIGHT HERE ON THE OUTSIDE. HE COMES INSIDE ON A STUNT.
GETS THERE. DRAKE MAYE DOESN’T HAVE TWO
HANDS ON THE FOOTBALL. WALKER’S ABLE TO POKE IT OUT.
AND THAT YOU SAID, CHARLES, THE DYNAMIC DUO OF EASY TO TWO GUYS
BEING ABLE TO COME UP WITH A PLAY WITH JUST A FOUR-MAN MOUNT
RUSHMORE AND THEY’RE RUNNING A GAME.
WHAT I LOVE IS HOW PEARCE PICKED THE BALL UP TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
THE PLAY, AND KNOWING HEY, I CAN AGAINST NEW ENGLAND. ATLANTA
FALCONS’S GOT TO FIND A WAY TO GET IT DONE.
ANDREW: MAYE, PUMP FAKES. AND DRAKE MAYE WAS ABLE TO FALL
ON IT. NEAR DISASTER AGAIN FOR THE
PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK. TO COMBAT THIS ATLANTA FALCONS
PASS RUSH AND THE BLITZ THAT THEY BRING?
AND HE TALKED ABOUT FOR DRAKE MAYE, ALWAYS TWO HANDS OF
PROTECTING THE FOOTBALL. THIS NOW IS THE SECOND TIME
WE’VE SEEN HIM LOSE THE FOOTBALL.
THE FIRST TIME WAS WALKER POKING NOW. MATTHEW BERGERON —
ANDREW: HENDERSON, THE RUNNING BACK.
MAYE, FEELING THE PRESSURE AND HE IS SACKED.
FINISHED OFF BY ORHORHORO. AND HE HAS TWO AND A HALF SACKS
ON THE SEASON. WERE THERE.
WAS ROBERTS FIRST, 99 INSIDE? HE’S WORKING ON BRADBURY,
PUSHING. AND THERE’S ORHORHORO OVER THE
TOP AND ROBERTS AT HIS FEET. JASON: AND WALKER IS GOING TO
PUSH WILL CAMPBELL INTO THE FACE OF DRAKE MAYE.
WE WATCHED HIM IN COVERAGE AND WATCHED HIM GET AFTER THE
QUARTERBACKS. HE’S BEEN ALL OVER THE FIELD FOR
THIS ATLANTA DEFENSE. ATLANTA HAVING TAKEN OFF A
DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME. ANDREW: MAYE STEPS UP AND GOES
DOWN. BRANDON DORLUS HAS BEEN
EVERYWHERE TODAY FOR THIS FALCONS DEFENSE WHICH CONTINUES
TO PLAY WITHOUT LEONARD FLOYD. the century with the Saint
Louis Rams. I definitely like
good offense. Jones is going to scramble again and isn’t going
to get much. He got chased down
that time by Zach Harrison him down by contact or not.
Brought back to the fumbling
spot. Second down Indianapolis. So it is a fumble, but it goes
back to the spot of the fumble
because it went out of bounds. The ball went out right before
he went down, but when it rolls
out of bounds, nobody collects it. It goes back to the spot of
the fumble. It’s two big breaks
for the Colts already today. Ball on the ground twice able
to get them both back Taylor
and Jones Jones has done a nice touch short. Second and one.
Falcons bring extra bodies to
get to Daniel Jones for the sack. Kaden Ellis is there. And
their leading tackler comes in
with a big play. And it brings and Jonathan Taylor. Into the
red zone. Go the Colts. Jones
having to move to his left. That ball is out. A flag is
thrown as well as he jumped
back on top of it. Jalen Walker the excellent rookie brought
pressure. We’ll see what the
penalty marker is for Walker though. No penalty flag and
it’ll be Walker bringing the
heat. See him from the top of your screen. But they are so
excited about their rookie
class. Jalen Walker creating the pressure and the fumble
right there James Pierce Xavier
Watts Billy Bowman I mean they got a great young nucleus of
players on the defensive side
that have been making plays for has converted a third down.
Bates showing pressure. Here he
comes now. Drops back. Jones under pressure. That ball is
out. Big time. Hit again. Jalen
Walker recovers and James takeaway. The question was
could they turn Indianapolis
over a couple of times? They have Pierce and Walker the
rookies, hook up. Changing
cause I’ve built my h always hate coming off the
field without getting points
when you put together a good drive. So hopefully it won’t
come to fourth down here. But a
long third down situation. Extra body coming for Atlanta
on the blitz. Jones steps up
and gets brought down. Dorlus finishes it off. Third sack in
the last two games and it’s
fourth down. Great hustle. Good the last two games and it’s
fourth down. Great hustle. Good
job by Jonathan Taylor to pick up the blitz. Daniels. There’s
Daniel Jones is trying to
escape out of there Dorlus nice job coming off of that. Making
the tackle getting him around
the ankles and forcing the field goal on the fifth Atlanta
sack of the day, a team that
had 22 on the year coming in the 35 yard line. A blitz heavy
Falcons bring pressure on Jones
and down he goes back near the 40 yard line. Arnold Ebiketie
was the first man there and
Kaden Ellis finished it off. was the first man there and
Kaden Ellis finished it off.
And how many times has this young defense stepped up
bringing pressure challenging.
Young guys coming from both sides. And nowhere to go with
the football for Daniel Jones,
no way to escape. And another huge sack from this Falcons
defense a third time with six
sacks this season. And it’s UP AGAINST ONE OF THE BEST IN
THE LEAGUE TO DO IT WITH A.J. TERRELL.
>> Jason: THE PLAY ACTION THAT WAY AND YOUNG IS WRANGLED AND
DROPPED. HE SACKED ALL OF THE WAY BACK AT
THE 13 YARD LINE BY THE ROOKIE OUT OF TENNESSEE, JAMES PEARCE,
JR. >> Brady: IT WAS JUST WHAT THE
DOCTOR ORDERED WHEN THE DRAFT CAME AROUND AND THEY NEEDED PASS
RUSH AND THE LONG ARMS USED TO BE, WORKING ON IT.
IF THERE’S ONE KNOCK ON AKWANU THE LINE.
BRYCE YOUNG, A LONG OPPORTUNITY TO SURVEY IT.
PRESSURE COMING ANYWAY AND IT’S BOWMAN!
EVERYBODY KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND HE STILL SPIKES DOWN
YOUNG! >> Brady: WELL, HE SHOWS IT
EARLY. YOUNG SEES IT AND HE CHECKS.
ALTHOUGH THERE WAS CLEARLY A MISCOMMUNICATION UP FRONT
BECAUSE HE’S STILL A FREE RUNNER TO HIT YOUNG.
>> Jason: WE’LL CHECK ON BRYCE AND NOW IT’S YOUR FOURTH HERE.
IT WAS AND RUNG. BRYCE YOUNG ON A ROLL.
HE PUMPS AND ELLISS AND ELLISS HOLDS THE LINE!
WHAT A TACKLE! >> Jason: WATTS COMING UP TO THE
LINE FROM THE SAFETY SPOT. YOUNG SPINS OUT OF IT AND KICKS
IT AND DOWN HE GOES AND IT’S HARRISON FINISHING THE DEAL
AFTER THE PRESSURE FROM WATTS! I KNOW WE’LL SEE MORE OF THAT.
>> Adam: WORST RED ZONE EFFICIENCY IN THE NFL FOR NEW
ORLEANS. NOW SHOUGH BACK IN.
TRYING TO ESCAPE. HE CANNOT GET AWAY FROM BRANDON
DORLESS WHO IS PLAYING EXCELLENT FOOTBALL THE LAST MONTH OF THE
YEAR. THEY SPREAD IT OUT FOR SHOUGH.
TRYING TO MANEUVER IN THE POCKET AS IT COLLAPSES, AND JAMES
PEARCE, THE ROOKIE OUT OF TENNESSEE, HAS BEEN PLAYING
GREAT FOOTBALL FOR THIS DEFENSE THEY HAVE 28 ON THIS DRIVE
ALONE. >> Adam: THEY’VE CONVERTED THREE
TIMES ON THIRD DOWN. SHOUGH, SOME OF THE POCKET
MOVEMENT, BUT HE’LL GET CHASED DOWN BY JALON WALKER, THE OTHER
ROOKIE OPPOSITE OF PEARCE WHO’S >> Drew: YEAH.
HE HAS BEEN SUCH AN EXCITING PLAYER FOR THEM.
SOMEBODY THAT RAHEEM MORRIS IS GLOWING ABOUT, AND TALKING ABOUT
HOW RELENTLESS HE WAS, AND HE CAME FROM AN EXCEPTIONAL COLLEGE
FOOTBALL PROGRAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
HE WAS JUST A LEADER FROM DAY TYLER AND JORDAN.
THIRD DOWN AND 3. PRESSURE COMING.
PEARCE AGAIN, BRINGS DOWN SHOUGH NEAR THE 30 YARD LINE.
THE ROOKIE HAS BEEN RELENTLESS. >> Drew: YEAH, AND BOTH THESE
GUYS, JALON WALKER ON ONE SIDE. JAMES PEARCE JR. ON THE OTHER
SIDE. THEY ARE SPEED RUSHERS THAT WANT
TO GET TO THE EDGE. NOW IN THIS CASE, HE JUST GETS
SKINNY BETWEEN THE GUARD AND TACKLE AND HE’S ABLE TO WEAVE
HIS WAY THROUGH. REALLY IMPRESSIVE, HIS ABILITY
TO BEND. WALKED ON AT UTAH AND THEN
EARNED A SCHOLARSHIP A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER.
SHOUGH MOVING AROUND AND ANOTHER ATLANTA SACK.
FIFTH OF THE DAY, AND IT’S RUKE FIFTH OF THE DAY, AND IT’S RUKE
ORHORHORO, THE SECOND-YEAR MAN OUT OF CLEMSON FINISHING IT OFF.
>> Drew: THIS IS WHAT D-LINEMEN LIVE FOR, ESPECIALLY THE BIG
GUYS INSIDE. RARELY DO THEY GET TO PIN THEIR
EARS BACK AND RUSH THE PASSER.
