This Game Was Absolute CINEMA | Broncos vs Commanders Week 13 SNF

This Game Was Absolute CINEMA | Broncos vs Commanders Week 13 SNF

ADAM PRENTICE IN THE BACK FIELD.
— THROUGH THE AIR — OPEN FIELD TACKLE BY JONATHAN JONES.
CLOCK KEEPS RUNNING. DAN QUINN — NOW HE’LL STOP IT.
NOW HE’LL STOP IT AT 3:12. HE WAS THINKING ABOUT IT FOR A
COUPLE OF SECONDS AND WILL TAKE IT HERE BEFORE THIRD AND 4.
>> Cris: I DON’T THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SEE ANY PRESSURE.
I REALLY DON’T. BUT, MAN, ARE YOU TEMPTED TO
BECAUSE THIRD AND 4. AND YOU KNOW — YOU KNOW WHAT
SEAN PAYTON HAS IN THAT BAG OF TRICKS.
BUT FROM SEAN PAYTON’S STANDPOINT NOW, HE’S GOT TO SAY,
DO I ASSUME THIS IS GOING TO BE A ZONE?
BECAUSE THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PLAYS, RIGHT?
OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE DURING THE COURSE
OF THE ROUTE. BUT I JUST — THE SUCCESS THAT
THEY’VE HAD TONIGHT, WASHINGTON, ON DEFENSE, COMING IN ZONE
DEFENSE, HAS BEEN SO MANY TIMES TONIGHT WE’VE SEEN EVAN ENGRAM
JUST POP WIDE OPEN ON THAT LITTLE RELEASE ROUTE FOR AN EASY
FIRST DOWN IN A KEY MOMENT. >> Mike: WASHINGTON IS LOOKING
TO SEE WHAT PERSONNEL SEAN PAYTON PUT ON THE FIELD.
HE’S SO MASTERFUL AT DIFFERENT PERSONNEL GROUPS.
THEY’RE MATCHING IT WITH HOW THEY WANT TO PLAY THIS.
>> Cris: THEY’RE COMING OUT WITH THREE WIDE RECEIVERS.
>> Mike: YEP. AND PRENTICE, THE FULLBACK, AS
THE LONE BACK THERE TO PROTECT AND RELEASE.
HAD A CATCH EARLIER IN THIS QUARTER.
TIME-OUT, DENVER. SO, WASHINGTON HAD THE ANSWER.
DENVER DID NOT. TWO LEFT FOR THE BRONCOS.
ISN’T IT FUN WHEN ONE TEAM HAS LOST THIS MANY IN A ROW, LIKE
WASHINGTON HAS, AND DENVER’S WON EIGHT IN A ROW.
YOU’RE LIKE, THIS GAME ISN’T GOING TO BE GOOD.
BUT EVERY DECEMBER YOU SEE THESE GAMES END UP BEING CLOSE.
AND IT JUST SPEAKS TO CULTURE AND WHAT’S GOING ON IN LOCKER
ROOMS, IN FRANCHISES, HOW MUCH YOU PLAY THIS WELL EVEN WITH A
BAD RECORD. >> Cris: YEAH, AND TERRY
McLAURIN’S RETURN HAS BEEN A FACTOR.
BOB BY WAGNER IS HAVING A GOOD GAME OUT THERE.
SOME OF THE VETERAN GUYS THAT ARE THE REASON YOU BRING THOSE
GUYS IN BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY’LL NEVER QUIT.
THEY MAY NOT BE AS TALENTED AS THEY ONCE WERE, BUT THEY’LL
NEVER QUIT. AND WE’VE SEEN THAT OUT OF
WASHINGTON TONIGHT. >> Mike: IF THEY CAN GET A PLAY
HERE, THEY’LL HAVE A CHANCE TO COME BACK AND END THAT LOSING
STREAK. DENVER TRYING TO KEEP IT ROLLING
TO GET TO 10-2. WAGNER WITH THE LAST WORD FOR
JACOB MARTIN. T THIRD AND 4.
INCOMPLETE. MARTIN BACK THERE TO GET IN THE
WAY TO COURTLAND SUTTON. AND DENVER WILL PUNT IT AWAY.
>> Cris: NOT ONLY DID THEY NOT BLITZ.
THEY SIMPLY ARE GOING TO TROT BACK UNDERNEATH, NOT JUST MAKE
IT A FOUR-MAN RUSH. IT WAS A THREE-MAN RUSH WITH
MARTIN GOING TO THE EXACT SPOT WHERE THE BALL WAS GOING.
THAT IS JUST TREMENDOUS DEFENSE ON THE PART OF WASHINGTON.
AND LET’S GIVE DAN QUINN CREDIT. ONCE AGAIN, HE HAD THE RIGHT
ANSWER. >> Mike: LANE HAD A 90-YARD
TOUCHDOWN RETURN ON A PUNT EARLIER THIS YEAR.
— CANNOT GET AWAY FROM THE INITIAL TACKLE.
JL SKINNER ON SPECIAL TEAMS MAKES IT A LONG FIELD FOR
WASHINGTON. GREAT PLAY.
>> Cris: TREMENDOUS. ANTONIO HAMILTON, THE OTHER
NUMBER 34, CHASING, IS UPSET WITH HIMSELF THAT HE FAILED TO
MAKE THAT BLOCK. >> Mike: SKINNER AND DEVON KEY
HAVE HAD AN OUTSTANDING SPECIAL TEAMS SEASON FOR DENVER AND COME
UP WITH THAT ONE THAT MAKES IT A LONG FIELD NOW FOR MARCUS
MARIOTA. 3:00, ONE TIME-OUT.
THEY START AT THEIR OWN 15. >> Cris: FOUR DOWN TERRITORY
NOW. SO, YOU UNDERSTAND GOING INTO IT
THAT YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL DOWN.
>> Mike: MARIOTA STEPPING UP, ERTZ, INCOMPLETE — FLAG AFTER
THE BALL WAS GONE. SURTAIN, NOTHING DOING.
SECOND DOWN. >> Cris: I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY
MORE I WOULD THROW AT SURTAIN ON THIS FINAL DRIVE BECAUSE THIS
DRIVE MIGHT END ON ONE THROW. LOOK AT HIM, MAN COVERAGE.
AND WHAT IT ALLOWS THEM TO DO IS NO MATTER WHERE HE IS, HE CAN
TAKE AWAY YOUR BEST. AND THEN YOU SLIDE TO HELP
EVERYBODY ELSE. JUST A GAME CHANGER SINCE HE’S
BEEN BACK IN THE LINEUP. >> Mike: WE’VE SEEN GUYS SLIP
OUT OF THEIR BRAKES HERE WITH THIS NEWLY LAID DOWN SOD.
SECOND AND 10. MARIOTA GOING THE OTHER WAY.
GOT A FIRST DOWN. NO FLAG.
GAIN OF 11. CLOCK STOPS AT 2:49.
>> Cris: SAME THING, MIKE. YOU GET IN THOSE SITUATIONS
WHERE YOU’RE TRYING TO GET FANCY WITH YOUR RUSH, YOU DIP INSIDE,
AND YOU LEAVE THE EDGE OPEN. YOU CAN’T DO IT IN THESE
SITUATIONS. YOU KNOW IT’S A HURRY UP.
YOU CANNOT GIVE A MOBILE QUARTERBACK LIKE MARIOTA THAT
TYPE OF ADVANTAGE. >> Mike: JONATHON COOPER, NIK
BONITTO, THOSE ENGINES, THEY’VE HAD A GREAT YEAR.
THROW TO BURKS. RILEY MOSS HAS THE COVERAGE.
SECOND AND 10. >> Cris: MAYBE ONE OF THE
BIGGEST STATISTICS OF THIS NIGHT IN MY MIND IS THAT RILEY MOSS
DOES NOT HAVE A PASS INTERFERENCE CALL ON THOSE DEEP
THROWS. THOSE ARE PLAYS EARLIER THIS
YEAR HE HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN GETTING PENALIZED.
GIVE HIM CREDIT. HE’S CLEANING IT UP, NO FOULS SO
FAR TONIGHT. >> Mike: NINE DPIs, DEFENSIVE
PASS INTERFERENCE, FLAGS THIS SEASON.
SECOND AND 10. MARIOTA PUTTING IT UP TOP AND
DEEP FOR McLAURIN. NOTHING GOING THERE.
RIGHT WITH HIM STEP FOR STEP. THIRD AND 10, FOUR DOWN
TERRITORY. 2:38 TO GO.
>> Cris: BUT THAT DOES HELP. IF YOU’RE A RECEIVER AND YOU’VE
THROWN SOMETHING DEEP. AND VANCE JOSEPH KNOWS THIS AS
WELL, THAT NOW YOU KNOW THEY’RE WILLING TO TAKE THAT KIND OF
SHOT. SO, DEFENSIVELY IN YOUR MIND,
YOU DON’T WANT TO BE THE GUY THAT GIVES UP, YOU KNOW, A
75-YARD TOUCHDOWN TO LOSE THE GAME.
YOU GET A LITTLE EXTRA SPACE AFTER A THROW LIKE THAT.
THEY ARE ALL UP HERE IN A BLITZ LOOK.
>> Mike: SEVEN ACROSS THAT LINE, NOW FIVE AS THEY DROP BACK.
UNDERNEATH THE THROW. IT’S CAUGHT RIGHT NEAR THE LINE.
SEE THE MARK. IT IS MARKED SHORT WITH ERTZ.
FOURTH AND INCHES, CLOCK RUNNING.
OFFENSE STAYS OUT. INSIDE GIVE — HAS THE FIRST
DOWN. 38 YARD LINE.
AND WASHINGTON WILL LIKELY SEE THIS RUN DOWN TO THE TWO-MINUTE
WARNING. DAN QUINN SMILING.
HE LOVES THAT HIS TEAM’S COMPETED HERE TONIGHT.
TRYING TO BE THE EIGHTH TEAM IN THIS WEEK 13 TO PULL OFF AN
UPSET. CAN THEY DO IT, OR WILL DENVER
WIN A NINTH CONSECUTIVE GAME? FINAL TWO COMING UP.
WASHINGTON DOWN THREE. >> Mike: RIGHT AFTER THE GAME,
CHEVROLET POST GAME, MELISSA WITH THE STARS OF THE GAME.
WE’LL LOOK AT THE STORY LINES OF TODAY AND PREVIEW NEXT SUNDAY.
ALL COMING UP AFTER THE GAME. WASHINGTON COMMANDERS TRYING TO
DO TO DENVER WHAT DENVER HAS DONE OVER AND OVER THIS YEAR, A
COMEBACK IN THE FOURTH QUARTER TO TIE OR WIN THE GAME.
MARIOTA IN THE MIDDLE, ZACH ERTZ WITH THE GRAB. FIRST DOWN, COMMANDERS.
>> Cris: ONE THING ABOUT ZACH ERTZ, YOU KNOW HE CAN CATCH.
>> Mike: FLAG FOR ILLEGAL MOTION ON WASHINGTON WITH A RUNNING
CLOCK IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES COULD COME WITH A 10-SECOND
RUNOFF. THE QUESTION NOW IS, DOES SEAN
PAYTON WANT THAT? SEAN LIKES TO JUST TAKE HIS TIME
AND GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS TO GET THE CALL RIGHT.
LIKES TO HAVE CONTROL OF THE GAME.
AND HERE’S LAN CLARK. LAN’S LAUGHING.
>> Cris: LAN’S LAUGHING. >> Mike: HE’S TALKING ON THE
COMMUNICATION AMONGST THE OFFICIALS TO THE OFFICIAL
STANDING NEXT TO DAN QUINN TO ASK WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.
>> Referee: FALSE START, OFFENSE NUMBER 17.
5-YARD PENALTY, STILL A FIRST DOWN.
WASHINGTON HAS ELECTED TO TAKE A 10-SECOND RUNOFF.
CLOCK OPERATOR, PLEASE SET TO 1:29 AND START ON MY SIGNAL.
>> Mike: McLAURIN’S GOING TO BE THE RECEIVER AT THE TOP.
LET’S SEE. IS HE NOT SET FOR A SECOND?
NO, HE IS. WOW.
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THAT. >> Cris: YEAH.
>> Referee: RESET AT THE END OF THE PLAY AND TEN SECONDS TO BE
RUN OFF. CLOCK OPERATOR, PLEASE SET TO
1:31. 1-3-1.
>> Cris: — IT’S REALLY NOT. >> Mike: — WRONG NUMBER.
>> Cris: IT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICIAL WHO BLEW IT DEAD.
YOU CAN SEE HIM RUNNING IN. AND YES, THERE WAS A MOMENT
WHERE HE GOT SET. BUT I DON’T THINK AT THIS POINT
IN THE GAME — >> Mike: DOWN TO 90 SECONDS NOW.
MARIOTA, THROWS IT AWAY. EVERYBODY COVERED, GETS RID OF
IT. 1:17 TO GO.
>> Cris: TERRY McLAURIN IS JUST HAVING A NIGHTMARE OF A TIME
WITH THIS NEWLY LAID SOD, I GUESS, AND STAYING ON HIS FEET.
IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND SLIDING, AND IT IS TOUGH.
>> Mike: IS THIS INTENTIONAL GROUNDING HERE?
LAN CLARK JUST PUT A FLAG DOWN BACK BY THE QUARTERBACK.
AGAIN, HE SLIPPED AND FELL. ALWAYS THROWING — HE HAD A LOT
OF TIME IN THE POCKET. DID NOT GET HIMSELF OUTSIDE OF
THE POCKET, IF THAT’S WHAT CLARK IS SAYING.
AND THIS HAS LOSS OF DOWN WITH IT.
WE’LL LOOK AT IT AS THEY SORT HERE.
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. AND THEN THE 10-SECOND RUNOFF IS
ABOUT THIS AS WELL. >> Referee: INTENTIONAL
GROUNDING, OFFENSE NUMBER 8. THE 10-YARD PENALTY, LOSS OF
DOWN, SECOND DOWN. >> Cris: THE ROUTE IS UP HERE,
THIS HOOK — >> Referee: — TIME OFF THE
CLOCK. CLOCK OPERATOR —
>> Cris: — SAID I’M JUST GETTING RID OF IT RIGHT HERE.
THREW IT OVER HIS HEAD. I GUESS HE JUST THREW IT TOO
FAR. >> Mike: TERRY McCAULEY?
>> THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GROUNDING, GUYS.
HE THROWS IT OVER THE HEAD OF NUMBER 17, WHO IS OUTSIDE THE
NUMBERS. BY RULE, THAT IS NOT INTENTIONAL
GROUNDING. >> Mike: A COUPLE BACKING UP
WASHINGTON HERE, FIRST 5, THEN 10, BACK TO THEIR OWN 35 YARD
LINE. MOST OF THE SIDELINE VERY UPSET
WITH NOT JUST THE TWO FLAGS BUT ALSO THE ADMINISTRATION OF IT
HERE. >> Cris: AND THEY ARE TALKING
ABOUT IT AGAIN. >> Mike: WELL, WHAT THEY’RE
ASKING IS WHAT DOWN IT SHOULD BE, TERRY, HERE WITH THAT
INTENTIONAL GROUNDING CALL. >> Referee: — LOSS OF DOWN,
SECOND DOWN. >> Mike: IT GOES BACK TO ERTZ
MAKING THE FIRST DOWN CATCH AROUND MIDFIELD, AND THEN THE
McLAURIN — MADE IT FIRST AND 15.
SO, NOW IT’S SECOND AND 25. SO, THAT IS CORRECT.
AND A GOOD JOB BY THE WASHINGTON SIDELINE TO BE ALERT TO THAT.
AND — TO THE 40 FOR A FIRST DOWN AND AROUND FIELD GOAL
RANGE. A LOT TO DO.
— UP AND INCOMPLETE. AND IT’S RILEY MOSS, THE
UNTARGETED CORNER, WITH THE PBU. >> Cris: PERFECTLY TIMED OUT BY
RILEY MOSS. GOOD FOR HIM.
THIS SECONDARY, THIS DEFENSE, THEY’RE MAKING PLAYS WHEN THEY
HAVE TO IN THE CLUTCH. AND IT’S NOT JUST THEIR
SUPERSTARS DOING IT. THAT’S WHEN YOU KNOW TEAMS LIKE
THIS HAVE A CHANCE. I SAY HAVE A CHANCE.
HAVE A CHANCE AT WINNING IT ALL. >> Mike: TIMING THERE, FOUR-MAN
RUSH COMING FOR DENVER. THIRD AND 25.
MARIOTA TRYING TO GET AWAY. HE’S TO THE LINE, FIRES,
McLAURIN, AND THEY’LL HAVE A SHOT AT IT.
ANOTHER SHOT TO PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN.
IT’S FOURTH DOWN AND ABOUT 5. CLOCK STOPS, 52 SECONDS
REMAINING. AGAIN, McLAURIN, WHO HAS BEEN
OUT FOR A WHILE, TRYING TO CATCH HIS BREATH, LOOSEN HIS QUAD.
MISSING THE GAMES BECAUSE OF A QUAD INJURY.
SO, HE’S GOT TO COME TO THE SIDELINE AFTER THAT ONE.
SO, THEY DON’T HAVE THEIR BIGGEST THREAT ON THE FIELD FOR
THE BIGGEST PLAY OF THE NIGHT. >> Cris: YOU BASICALLY ARE
THINKING ABOUT DEEBO SAMUEL, BUT TONIGHT IT’S BEEN ZACH ERTZ OPEN
THE MOST IN THESE SITUATIONS. >> Mike: HERE COMES THE
PRESSURE. — IT’S CAUGHT BY ERTZ FOR THE
FIRST DOWN RIGHT AROUND THE 36 YARD LINE.
IN FIELD GOAL RANGE FOR THE MOODY, 38 SECONDS LEFT.
THEY ERASE THIRD AND 25. DENVER BRINGS HEAT AGAIN.
THE MARIOTA THROW IS CAUGHT BY SAMUEL.
HE’S PULLED DOWN JUST SHY OF THE 25 YARD LINE.
WASHINGTON HAS A TIME-OUT, TAKEN HERE WITH 26 SECONDS TO GO.
WE HAVE A FLAG, THOUGH, ON THE FAR SIDE.
SO, IN ALL OF THIS CRAZINESS, YET ANOTHER FLAG.
THIS ONE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FIELD.
>> Cris: THERE WAS A PLAYER THAT RAN ON THE FIELD FOR DENVER ONLY
ABOUT TWO STEPS AND THEN RAN BACK OFF THE FIELD RIGHT BEFORE
THE SNAP OF THE BALL. I THINK THEY’VE GOT TOO MANY MEN
ON THE FIELD. >> Referee: 12 PLAYERS ON THE
FIELD, DEFENSE. THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED.
THE RESULT OF THE PLAY IS A FIRST DOWN.
>> Mike: SO, THAT LEAVES THE BALL AT THE 27 YARD LINE, AND
THE FLAG GIVES WASHINGTON A CHANCE TO CATCH THEIR BREATH.
THE CLOCK STOPS AT 26 SECONDS. >> Cris: ALL THE WAY UP HERE ON
THE TOP. >> Mike: YEP.
>> Cris: IS WHERE THAT EXTRA GUY CAME ON AND WENT RIGHT BACK OFF.
NOW YOU GO AND START TALKING ABOUT WINNING THE GAME IF YOU’RE
WASHINGTON. >> Mike: — GETTING READY TO
TAKE A TIME-OUT. >> Referee: CLOCK OPERATOR,
PLEASE SET THE CLOCK TO 31 SECONDS, 3-1.
>> Mike: GET SOME EXTRA TIME, KEEP THAT TIME-OUT SO
EVERYTHING’S AVAILABLE TO WASHINGTON.
>> Cris: AND THEY’VE ALSO GOT TERRY McLAURIN BACK ON THE FIELD
HERE. >> Mike: AGAIN, JAKE MOODY, HIS
FIRST GAME KICKING FOR THE COMMANDERS.
IN FIELD GOAL RANGE, WHAT CAN THEY DO?
DEEBO SAMUEL TRYING TO WORK THE INSIDE.
PUSHING THERE, FORWARD PROGRESS STOPPED.
CLOCK RUNNING. IT STOPPED NOW WITH A WASHINGTON
TIME-OUT. >> Cris: YEAH.
YOU’VE GOT TO TAKE THE TIME-OUT THERE BECAUSE WITH 22 SECONDS,
YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO WORK THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD HERE AND
JUST HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET UP AND GET IT CLOCKED.
>> Mike: AND NOW WITH NO TIME-OUTS, YOU’VE GOT TO BE
READY IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN IN BOUNDS WITH THAT FIRE
DRILL OF A FIELD GOAL TO RUN EVERYBODY OUT.
YOU HOPE THEY HAVE TIME TO SPIKE IT, STOP THE CLOCK, AND STAY
CALM. BUT AGAIN, WE TELL YOU THE STORY
OF — WHO PLAYED 84 GAMES IN THE NFL, THREE WITH MIAMI LAST YEAR.
HE’S BEEN IN A COUPLE OF CAMPS THIS YEAR.
HOWEVER, HE HAD TO BE ADDED TO THE ROSTER LATE ON FRIDAY WHEN
TYLER OTT CAME UP WITH AN ILLNESS AND A BACK INJURY.
OTT WAS DECLARED OUT THIS MORNING.
SO, VERY FEW OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK WITH THAT BATTERY OF — AND
MOODY. TRESS WAY, THE VETERAN, THE
HOLDER, IS THE GLUE TO KEEP IT TOGETHER.
>> Cris: RIGHT DOWN HERE YOU’VE GOT A MATCHUP.
— YOU HAVE A LOT OF PENALTIES IN THIS SITUATION.
>> Mike: MARIOTA TAKING A SHOT. NOBODY IS THERE.
IT IS INCOMPLETE. AND THEY’RE POINTING TOWARD THE
RECEIVERS, WHO WAS OUTSIDE THE NUMBERS, AS THE INTENDED
RECEIVER. SO, IT WILL BE NO GROUNDING,
INCOMPLETE PASS. THIRD AND 3, AS JAYDEN DANIELS
WATCHES THIS PLAY OUT. >> Cris: THAT’S WHAT MARIOTA —
HE SAW THE SAME THING I DID. HE SAYS, WE’RE GOING TO TAKE OUR
SHOT AND THROW THIS THING DOWN HERE.
AND YET IT WAS SOMEHOW BURKS WHO BROKE IT OFF TO THE INSIDE.
AND MARIOTA WAS TAKING A SHOT TO WIN THE GAME.
>> Mike: McLAURIN WILL BE THE LONE RECEIVER AT THE TOP OF THE
SCREEN. THE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
UP THERE WITH HIM. — TIME-OUT — MARIOTA TO THE
SIDELINE, AND HE DOES. WOAH!
12 SECONDS LEFT. THEY GOT THE FIRST DOWN.
THAT WAS SO DANGEROUS. >> Cris: WELL, THE OTHER PART OF
THIS, IF MARIOTA DOES NOT FINISH GOING FORWARD AND HE’S GOING
BACKWARDS THERE, IF HE DOESN’T DO THAT LAST LUNGE, HE DOES NOT
GET OUT OF BOUNDS. >> Mike: THAT IS A REALLY GOOD
CALL BY THE LINE JUDGE. NOW 12 SECONDS LEFT.
YOU WANT TO TAKE A SHOT AT THE END ZONE?
>> Cris: OF COURSE. >> Mike: NO TIME-OUTS.
YOU’VE GOT TO BE FAST, KILL THE CLOCK, MIDDLE OF THE FIELD NOT
AVAILABLE. >> Cris: NO SACKS.
>> Mike: TIME-OUT TAKEN. >> Cris: YOU CANNOT — AGAINST
THE LEADING SACK TEAM IN THE NFL.
THEY’RE GOING SPREAD. >> Mike: HERE IS THE RUN, AND
YOU POINTED OUT, THE END OF IT, SO BIG, CRIS.
>> Cris: IF HE IS PUSHED BACKWARDS IN THE FIELD OF
PLAY — EVEN IF HE’S PUSHED BACKWARDS OUT OF BOUNDS, THAT
CLOCK IS GOING TO KEEP RUNNING. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S WHAT’S
GOING TO HAPPEN THERE. BUT MARIOTA PUSHES BACK FORWARD
TO ALLOW THAT TIME-OUT TO HAPPEN.
THAT IS A REALLY HEADS UP AND A STRONG, POWERFUL PLAY FOR A
QUARTERBACK RUNNING THE FOOTBALL.
THAT WAS SURTAIN THAT HIT HIM, WHO’S A STUD.
>> Mike: SO, YOU TALKED ABOUT MAKING BIG PLAYS IN THE RED
ZONE, AND YOU’VE GOT BURKS — WE SAW HIS ONE-HANDED CATCH BEFORE.
ERTZ HAS HAD SO MANY BIG PLAYS. THE STRENGTH OF DEEBO SAMUEL.
AND TERRY McLAURIN, WHO’S MADE PLAYS OVER THE YEARS FOR
WASHINGTON IN BIG MOMENTS. SO, OPTIONS HERE.
DENVER PROTECTING THE GOAL LINE. 12 SECONDS REMAINING.
IT’S A THREE-MAN RUSH. MARIOTA — CAME OPEN.
SEVEN SECONDS LEFT. THEY TAKE ONE MORE LOOK AT IT.
>> Cris: THE ONE THING THEY’VE DONE SO WELL IS HAVE THOSE LOW
TO THE GROUND THROWS TO ERTZ, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE RED ZONE.
JUST TRY AND DRILL ONE IN LOW RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
GOAL LINE. BUT, MAN, THIS IS GETTING CLOSE.
ANY SORT OF FORCED SCRAMBLE, ANY SORT OF MOVEMENT —
>> Mike: PLAY CLOCK. PLAY CLOCK IS RUNNING DOWN HERE.
IT’S 13, 12. WE’VE GOT TO GET GOING QUICK
HERE. >> Cris: DEEBO DOESN’T KNOW
WHAT’S GOING ON. >> Mike: YEAH.
REALLY QUICK. THE PLAY CLOCK RESETS, AND HE’S
GOING TO THROW IT OVER BY THE CHEERLEADERS.
AND NOW THEY’LL GO TO MOODY TO TRY TO TIE THE GAME AND SEND IT
TO OVERTIME. SO, JAKE MOODY, REALLY GOOD
KICKER DURING HIS COLLEGE GAMES AT MICHIGAN.
WON THE — AWARD THAT GOES TO THE BEST PLACE KICKER IN COLLEGE
FOOTBALL. SO GOOD SAN FRANCISCO DRAFTED
HIM IN THE THIRD ROUND. DIDN’T WORK OUT THE COUPLE OF
YEARS THERE, CUT AFTER THE OPENER THIS YEAR, SIGNED WITH
CHICAGO WHEN THEY HAD AN INJURY, TWO GAMES FOR THEM.
FIRST GAME FOR WASHINGTON, TRYING TO TIE THE GAME WITH A
32-YARD FIELD GOAL. MOODY TIED THE GAME!
AND WE’LL GO TO OVERTIME. OT.
HERE IN LANDOVER. >> Cris: PERFECT SNAP, PERFECT
HOLD, AND EVEN THE FIELD HELD UP THERE.
THAT WAS — WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE SLIP TONIGHT, AND IF YOU
SLIP ON A NORMAL PASS ROUTE, I WAS THINKING THE KICKER, HE
DRIVES IN THERE JUST AS HARD AS ANYBODY.
>> Mike: GREAT FOR DAN QUINN’S TEAM, HUH?
>> Cris: YEAH, WHAT A PERFORMANCE TONIGHT.
AND FOR DAN QUINN, HE BASICALLY TOLD US HOW THIS GAME COULD BE
ONE. HE LAID IT OUT.
HE SAID, WE’RE GOING TO STAY WITH THE RUN, STAY WITH THE RUN,
BE CONSISTENT, A LITTLE SAFE RUN DEFENSE AND ZONE PLAYS ON THE
BACK END, AND IT’S WORKED TO PERFECTION.
AND NOW THEY HAVE A CHANCE IN OT.
>> Mike: AND WASHINGTON WILL GO TO OVERTIME THE SECOND
CONSECUTIVE GAME, AS THEY DID IN MADRID A FEW WEEKS AGO.
BEEN A MINUTE SINCE DENVER WON AN OVERTIME GAME.
LAN CLARK GETTING EVERYBODY ORGANIZED.
>> Referee: GENTLEMEN. WELCOME TO OVERTIME.
ONE 10-MINUTE PERIOD. EACH TEAM WILL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO POSSESS THE BALL UNLESS THE FIRST TEAM KEEPS IT
THE WHOLE TIME OR THE DEFENSE SCORES A SAFETY.
TIMING WILL BE LIKE THE FOURTH QUARTER.
EACH TEAM WILL GET TWO TIME-OUTS.
ALL THE REPLAYS WILL COME FROM THE BOOTH.
IF WE’RE STILL TIED AT THE END OF THE TEN MINUTES, THE GAME
WILL BE RECORDED AS A TIE. ANY QUESTIONS?
WE’RE GOING TO FLIP THE SAME COIN, HEADS OR TAILS?
HEADS OR TAILS, WHAT IS YOUR CALL?
>> TAILS. >> Referee: THE CALL IS TAILS,
AND IT IS HEADS. >> WE’RE GOING TO KICK THAT WAY.
>> Referee: KICK THAT WAY? >> KICK THAT WAY.
>> Referee: YOU’RE GOING TO KICK.
YOU’LL RECEIVE THIS WAY. YES, SIR.
WASHINGTON’S CHOICE. THEY WILL KICK THIS WAY.
>> Mike: THE MECHANICS OF THIS HASN’T BEEN SMOOTHED OUT YET,
BUT YOU GET THE IDEA THAT WASHINGTON WANTS TO PLAY
DEFENSE. WE’LL GO TO THE TEN-MINUTE
OVERTIME. HOW ABOUT MORE FOOTBALL ON THIS
GREAT THANKSGIVING WEEKEND? >> Mike: MARCUS MARIOTA FILLING
IN FOR JAYDEN DANIELS. SOLID PERFORMANCE TONIGHT, TAKES
WASHINGTON DOWN THE FIELD, TWO FIELD GOALS FROM JAKE MOODY TO
TIE THIS GAME AT 20, SEND THIS GAME TO OVERTIME.
MOODY, THE WASHINGTON KICKER, HAS A GAME-WINNING FIELD GOAL IN
THE STADIUM THIS YEAR, BUT FOR CHICAGO, WHEN HE WAS TAKEN FOR
THE BEARS. MAYBE HE’LL GET ANOTHER CHANCE
SAME STADIUM FOR DIFFERENT TEAMS.
>> Cris: THAT’S CRAZY, SUSPECT IT?
CRAZY STUFF. HE GOT AWAY WITH KICKING THAT
WAY. THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
>> Mike: YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET BOTH OPTIONS.
TRESS WAY JUST DECIDED TO KICK IT AND TAKE THE DIRECTION TOO.
TWO SEPARATE CHOICES. ONCE YOU TAKE ONE, THE OTHER
COMES UP. AND WITH ALL THAT, OVERTIME
BEGINS. BIADASZ STUMBLING ON THE RETURN.
24 YARD LINE, WHERE ANTONIO HAMILTON SR. WAS WAITING TO
TACKLE HIM. I MENTIONED IT’S BEEN A MINUTE
FOR DENVER SINCE THEY WON AN OVERTIME GAME.
THEY LOST THEIR LAST FIVE. THEIR LAST OVERTIME WIN WAS THE
LAST MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAME OF 2015.
THEY BEAT CINCINNATI IN OVERTIME.
SPECIAL YEAR FOR THE BRONCOS THAT ENDED UP IN THE SUPER BOWL
IN SANTA CLARA. THEY HOPE TO DO THE SAME THIS
YEAR. >> Cris: 55, JACOB MARTIN, IS
THE BEST PASS RUSHER SO FAR RIGHT NOW.
>> Mike: — FIRES UNDERNEATH — HARVEY GOING TO GET A LITTLE
DISTANCE, CARRIED OUT TO THE 36 YARD LINE.
>> Cris: IT IS INTERESTING, THE TRADE-OFF, YOU KNOW, J.K.
DOBBINS AVERAGING 5 YARDS A CARRY.
WE’VE SEEN PRETTY GOOD RUNS OUT OF RJ HARVEY AS WELL.
BUT I THINK COME PLAYOFF TIME, HARVEY AS A RECEIVING THREAT
LATE IN GAMES, MIGHT END UP BEING A BIT OF AN EDGE FOR THE
BRONCOS. >> Mike: WASHINGTON CHOOSING TO
KICKOFF AFTER WINNING THE TOSS — SEVEN OF THE 11 OVERTIME
GAMES PLAYED THIS YEAR. PRESSURE OFF THE EDGE.
— PICK UP AND MIX — TIGHT END TO THE 48 YARD LINE.
GOOD PLAY ALL THE WAY AROUND. DENVER, FIRST DOWN.
>> Cris: OH, BOY. YOU LOVE THIS WHEN YOUR ROOKIES
ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO. WATCH HIM HERE.
HARVEY IS GOING TO COME OVER AND PICK UP THIS BLITZ FROM MAGEE,
WHO IS A STUD. HE IS A REALLY TOUGH PLAYER.
AND WATCH HOW CALMLY BO NIX JUST GATHERS HIMSELF, STEPS UP INTO
THE POCKET, LOOKS AROUND, AND MAKES THE PLAY.
>> Mike: 43 PASS ATTEMPTS FOR THE NIX TONIGHT.
FRANKIE LUVU, FOUR-MAN RUSH, HE’S GOT TIME.
IN THE MIDDLE. HE’S GOT IT TO ENGRAM.
HE’S GO TO THE 20, TO THE 10 YARD LINE.
— PLAY FROM ENGRAM. 41 YARDS.
>> Cris: I CHOOSE THE JOKER AGAIN.
THIS IS THE PLAY THEY CAN’T STOP.
BOBBY WAGNER IS A GOOD ATHLETE, BUT HE CAN’T COVER THESE MOVES
INSIDE BY EVAN ENGRAM. THEY JUST HAVEN’T TAKEN THE —
DOWN ENOUGH. EVEN IN THE ZONE DEFENSE, YOU
STILL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT PLAY.
AND THE THROW IS SO SHORT, IT’S JUST EASILY DONE.
>> Mike: FROM THE 11 — INSIDE, COMPLETE TO SUTTON FOR 6 TO THE
5 YARD LINE. DENVER SCORED ON ALL FOUR TRIPS
INSIDE THE 20. TWO OF THE FOUR TRIPS WERE
TOUCHDOWNS. >> Cris: BUT THIS IS THE DANGER
OF PLAYING TOO MUCH ZONE DEFENSE.
IT’S WHY YOU HAVE TO, SORT OF, BE ABLE TO CHANGE UP.
AND RIGHT NOW, WASHINGTON DOESN’T HAVE THE PASS RUSHERS TO
GET ANY PRESSURE SO YOUR ZONE GETS STRESSED OUT, QUARTERBACK’S
COMFORTABLE, AND THEY CAN TAKE THEIR SHORT, QUICK THROWS.
>> Mike: HARVEY, THE RUNNING BACK.
HE’S GOT IT. INTO THE END ZONE FOR THE
TOUCHDOWN! THEY WANT TO GET THERE, THEY GO
LEFT. RJ HARVEY, FOR THE SECOND TIME
TONIGHT WITH A RUSHING TOUCHDOWN.
DENVER BY 6. >> Cris: THAT WAS JUST AN
EXPLOSION OF RUNNING RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT DOWN THE DEFENSE AND BARELY A FINGER LAID ON RJ
HARVEY. SO, YOU KNOW, YOU SAY YOU WANT
TO SEE BO NIX IN TOUGH SITUATIONS.
HOW ABOUT THAT? WHAT WAS THAT, A THREE PLAY
BARRAGE? >> Mike: EXTRA POINT ADDED BY
LUTZ. FOUR THROWS FROM NIX, AND A
TOUCHDOWN RUN. GARETT BOLLES WITH A GREAT BLOCK
TOO. FRANKIE LUVU GAVE A CLEAR PATH
FOR HARVEY. WASHINGTON NEEDS SEVEN IN
OVERTIME. BACK IN A MINUTE.
DENVER’S UP 27-20 IN OT. >> Mike: UNDER THE RULES, WE’D
BE INTO THE CHEVROLET POST GAME, THE GAME WOULD BE OVER.
TOUCHDOWN IN THE OPENING DRIVE IN OVERTIME.
WASHINGTON GETS THE CHANCE TO MATCH.
BECAUSE OF THAT, THEY’LL BE IN FOUR DOWN TERRITORY NOW AS THEY
GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO POSSESS THE BALL.
IT BOUNCES IN THE END ZONE. SO, THEY’LL GET THE END ZONE OF
GOOD FIELD POSITION HERE. THEY’LL COME OUT TO THE 35 TO
START OT. LAST DRIVE WAS 18 PLAYS FOR
MARCUS MARIOTA, 71 YARDS. AND THEY OVERCOME THAT THIRD AND
25, GETTING DOWN FIELD FOR THE GAME-TYING FIELD GOAL.
NOW THEY NEED TO GET IT IN THE END ZONE.
>> Cris: MAYBE THEY CAUGHT A BREAK WITH DENVER’S DEFENSE WITH
THE FACT THAT BASICALLY DENVER’S OFFENSE GOT THE BALL THERE.
THEY COULD HAVE JUST LEFT THEM ON THE FIELD.
OUT THERE FOR 18 STRAIGHT PLAYS. IF WASHINGTON HAS THE CHOICE,
YOU WANT TO SEE DENVER’S DEFENSE ON THE FIELD BECAUSE THEY’VE GOT
TO BE TIRED. >> Mike: FROM THE 35.
AND MARIOTA FIRES — AT THE 45 YARD LINE.
GAIN OF 20. AND WASHINGTON GETS GOING ON THE
OPENING PLAY OF THEIR OVERTIME DRIVE.
>> Cris: YOU CAN JUST SEE IT, CAN’T YOU, WITH MARIOTA.
SINCE WE’VE SEEN TERRY McLAURIN BACK IN THE GAME, JUST THE RAW
BELIEF THAT HE’S GOING TO BE EXACTLY WHERE YOU EXPECT HIM TO
BE. HERE COMES ERTZ BACK IN THE GAME
AS WELL. >> Mike: SOMEWHAT OF A PITCH
COUNT FOR McLAURIN, TRYING TO CONSERVE COMING OFF THE INJURY,
FOR THE BIG PLAYS. HE HAD SIX CATCHES.
ERTZ, WHO CAME IN, HAS TEN CATCHES TONIGHT.
MARIOTA — RECOGNIZE THE BALL IN THE AIR, WITH THE COVERAGE FROM
RILEY MOSS. INCOMPLETE.
>> Cris: YOU KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER SHOT AT
MOSS BEFORE THIS THING WAS OVER WITH.
AND THE ONE THING THAT IT’S A LITTLE BIT SURPRISING IS THAT
MOSS REALLY HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY HELP HERE.
WE REALLY HAVE NOT SEEN THAT, MOSTLY BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT
SURTAIN’S BACK ON THE FIELD AND HE CAN HANDLE IT ONE ON ONE ON
THE OTHER SIDE. >> Mike: FRANKLIN-MYERS IS
DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO AN OFFSIDE ON THAT LAST PLAY.
WE’LL WATCH IT HERE ON SECOND AND 10.
MARIOTA ESCAPES, TRIES TO TAKE OFF.
IT’S A GAIN OF 4. SINGLETON AND McMILLIAN, MAKE IT
THIRD DOWN AND ABOUT 6 IN FOUR DOWN TERRITORY.
WASHINGTON MUST SCORE TO KEEP THIS GAME GOING.
MUST SCORE A TOUCHDOWN. >> Cris: THESE STAR PASS RUSHERS
ARE A LITTLE TIRED AFTER THAT LONG DRIVE.
AND RIGHT NOW, LET’S GIVE THEM CREDIT.
THE WASHINGTON TACKLES HAVE HELD UP PRETTY WELL.
AND JOSH CONNELLY IN PARTICULAR ON THAT RIGHT SIDE, HE WAS
THOUGHT TO BE THE VULNERABILITY IN THIS ONE.
>> Mike: PLAY 78 OF THE NIGHT FOR WASHINGTON.
INCOMPLETE — ALMOST A GAME ENDER.
THE ROOKIE, JAHDAE BARRON. FOURTH DOWN COMING UP.
>> Cris: JAHDAE BARRON GOT TO PLAY A LOT DURING THAT TIME OFF
SURTAIN HAD. BUT WHO DO YOU TRUST MOST AT
THIS POINT? I THINK YOU’VE GOT TWO CHOICES
BASED ON THE GAME WE’VE SEEN SO FAR, McLAURIN AND ZACH ERTZ.
OR MARIOTA RUNNING THE BALL. >> Mike: — DEEBO SAMUEL NEXT TO
HIM, FOURTH AND 6. GOT TO HAVE IT.
MARIOTA TRYING TO ESCAPE. IT’S UP FOR GRABS.
INTERCEPTED! GAME OVER!
>> Cris: I THINK THEY’RE GOING TO CALL PASS INTERFERENCE.
>> Mike: IT’S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.
BRONCOS START COMING ON THE FIELD, TWO SEPARATE FLAGS.
>> Cris: RAN RIGHT OVER THE RECEIVER ON THAT ONE.
AND THAT WAS JEREMY McNICHOLS. >> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE,
DEFENSE NUMBER 9. — FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL.
>> Cris: HE BATTED THE BALL, BUT RIGHT BEFORE HE BATTED THE BALL,
HE KNOCKED DOWN McNICHOLS. TAKE A LOOK AT IT RIGHT HERE.
>> Mike: YEP. GREAT PICKUP.
>> Cris: KNOCKED HIM DOWN. >> Mike: SO, IT WILL BE FIRST
DOWN FOR WASHINGTON. AND HUFANGA SAYS, MY BAD.
FIRST DOWN AT THE 36 YARD LINE. >> Cris: THERE ARE SOME
EXHAUSTED FOOTBALL PLAYERS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
>> Mike: MARIOTA HAS DROPPED BACK TO PASS 48 TIMES, TWO
SACKS, AND 46 ATTEMPTS. THE 36 YARD LINE, INSIDE,
McNICHOLS. GOOD MIXTURE OF A RUN FOR 8
YARDS TO THE 28 YARD LINE. >> Cris: MIKE, I’M GOING TO TELL
YOU SOMETHING, THAT MARIOTA’S BEST PLAY OF THE NIGHT WAS THAT
LAST ONE. HOW HE GOT THAT BALL OFF — YOU
DON’T GET PASS INTERFERENCE UNLESS YOU GET MARIOTA
SCRAMBLING AROUND AND SOMEHOW MAKING THAT PLAY.
>> Mike: AND HE GOT AWAY FROM ONE OF THE BEST SACK GUYS IN THE
LEAGUE IN BONITTO. >> Cris: ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY.
ONE OF THE PLAYS OF THE NIGHT. >> Mike: THERE’S A BIG LIST OF
THOSE. TRYING AGAIN.
DENVER STOUT IN THE MIDDLE. TILLMAN AND ROACH, THE INSIDE
GUYS, TAKE CARE OF McNICHOLS. >> Cris: MALCOLM ROACH HAS MADE
AN IMPRESSION ON ME ON THE COUPLE OF TAKES I’VE SEEN OF HIM
LATELY. HE IS JUST ALL HEART.
THAT TIME HE’S SCRAMBLING, CRAWLING, TRYING TO GET HIS HAND
ON THE RUNNING BACK GOING THROUGH.
>> Mike: ERTZ, BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
THREE RECEIVERS TO THE TOP, THIRD AND 4.
MARIOTA TO THE END ZONE — TOUCHDOWN!
FLAG DOWN BACK BY THE QUARTERBACK.
>> Referee: — 10-YARD PENALTY, THIRD DOWN.
>> Mike: ON THE ROOKIE, JOSH CONNELLY JR.
>> Cris: THE PASS RUSHERS FOR DENVER GET SO LOW TO THE GROUND.
AND YOU CAN SEE CONERLY, WHO’S RIGHT HAND WAS ABOVE IT.
BUT I — YOU KNOW, YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT’S A HOLD.
THEY’RE GOING TO CALL THAT ONE. BUT THAT IS MADE BY THE FACT
THAT THESE RUSHERS FOR DENVER CAN GET WITHIN INCHES OFF THE
GROUND. AND OH MY GOSH, WHAT A PLAY THAT
GOT HELD BACK. >> Mike: PLAY CLOCK IS RUNNING,
DOWN TO 13. IT IS THIRD DOWN.
THEY’VE GOT TO GET TO THE 26 YARD LINE.
— PLAYS TO GET 14 YARDS. MARIOTA AGAIN, SHOT DOWN FIELD
AGAIN. DEEBO SAMUEL IS DOWN THE SIDE!
HE’S AT THE 1! DEEBO SAMUEL TAKES IT TO THE 1
YARD LINE WITH RILEY MOSS COVERING.
>> Cris: THEY JUST KEPT GOING BACK TO THE WELL.
THEY KNEW WHERE THEY HAD TO TRY TO GET TO.
RILEY MOSS. THEY COULDN’T GET HIM BEAT.
THEY COULDN’T GET THE PASS INTERFERENCE.
AND FINALLY DEEBO DOES GET IT DONE JUST ONE ON ONE.
THERE’S NO HELP ANYWHERE. IT IS JUST MOSS.
TRUST HIM. HE’S PLAYED WELL.
AND FOR SOME REASON, MOSS TOOK A LITTLE HESITATION STEP THERE
LIKE THE BALL WASN’T COMING OR MAYBE IT WAS A BACK SHOULDER.
AND DEEBO MADE HIM PAY. >> Mike: WOW.
DENVER TAKES A TIME-OUT HERE. DENVER PERHAPS TRYING TO
PRESERVE — ONE, GET REST FOR THEIR DEFENSE AND THEN PRESERVE
TIME IF WASHINGTON SCORES AND KICKS AN EXTRA POINT TO TIE THE
GAME TO TRY TO GO. >> Cris: MY OPINION, IF I’M
WASHINGTON, I’M GOING FOR TWO. YOU’VE GOT AN EXHAUSTED DEFENSE
OVER THERE THAT’S BEEN ON THE FIELD FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE
FOURTH QUARTER AND OVERTIME, I’M GOING FOR THE EXTRA TWO.
>> Mike: JEREMY McNICHOLS IS THE BACK.
FIRST THEY’VE GOT TO SCORE. >> Cris: SURELY THEY WANT TO GET
THAT — ON THE FIELD. >> Mike: FROM THE 2, McNICHOLS
INSIDE, AND DENVER’S DEFENSE MAKES THE FIRST CONTACT. >> Cris: ALL THE PASS RUSH
ABILITY THIS TEAM HAS SHOWS UP IN THE RUN GAME.
AND — ONE ON ONE AT THE BOTTOM TOFT SCREEN.
>> Mike: MARIOTA PULLS IN. SURTAIN IN COVERAGE.
IT’S INCOMPLETE. THIRD AND GOAL.
>> Cris: McLAURIN THAT TIME WALKED OFF THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE
AND THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO FOOL HIM AND THEN TOOK OFF.
TRIED TO GET HIM TO RELAX, AND SURTAIN DID NOT RELAX.
THERE ARE DEFENSIVE BACKS THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A BREATH THERE
BECAUSE THEY ARE EXHAUSTED. IT’S THE FIRST GAME BACK.
HE DID NOT. >> Mike: AND NOW TWO PLAYS, TWO
SHOTS TO GET THREE AND A HALF YARDS.
McGLITCHEN BACK IN, THIRD AND GOAL.
MARIOTA — RECOVERY. SO CLOSE.
DOWN TO ONE PLAY. >> Cris: MIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS ON PLAYS LIKE THAT? YOU’RE TIRED AND YOU’RE TRYING
TO TIME UP A JUMP THAT DOESN’T GO AS HIGH AS YOU’RE USED TO
JUMPING. AND SHEER EXHAUSTION SETS IN.
HE JUST DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH TO GET TO WHERE HE THOUGHT HE WAS
GOING TO GET TO MAKE THAT CATCH. >> Mike: AND SO IT COMES DOWN TO
ONE PLAY. AGAIN, FOURTH AND GOAL.
DAN QUINN’S GOING TO TAKE A TIME-OUT.
HE GETS TWO IN OVERTIME. HE’LL TAKE ONE OF HIS HERE WITH
2:50 TO GO IN OT. >> Cris: ISN’T IT AMAZING, JUST
MAKING THE TACKLE. HOW MANY TIMES DO WE SEE IT?
IT LOOKED LIKE DEEBO’S GOING DOWN.
DID HE GET IN THE END ZONE? NO, JUST SHORT.
BUT OF COURSE THEY’RE GOING TO SCORE.
AND NOW HERE WE ARE, FOURTH DOWN.
>> Mike: JUST LIKE EARLIER ON THIS DRIVE, THAT INTERIOR
DEFENSE FOR DENVER HELPED SET THE TONE.
I GUESS IT’S FOURTH DOWN, FAMILIAR SUBJECT FOR WASHINGTON.
>> Cris: ERTZ HAS BEEN SO GOOD ALL NIGHT LONG, JUST DIDN’T GET
THERE. TEN CATCHES.
DON’T FAIL ME NOW. >> Mike: MAYBE HE’LL GET ANOTHER
SHOT. McLAURIN AND DEEBO SAMUEL,
BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. ERTZ TO THE TOP.
GAME DECIDER. MARIOTA — TOUCHDOWN!
GOING FOR TWO AND THE WIN. WASHINGTON WILL ROLL THE DICE.
>> Cris: NO DOUBT THERE WAS — THERE’S THE PICK ACTION RIGHT
THERE. THERE WAS CONTACT MADE.
THERE WAS NO CALL. >> Mike: ALL CREDIT TO THE
CONTACT, LONG DRIVE. 11 PLAYS, 65 YARDS.
AND HERE WE GO FOR TWO, WIN OR LOSE RIGHT HERE.
>> Cris: THEY ARE — >> Mike: TIME-OUT.
>> Cris: OH. >> Mike: DENVER.
>> Cris: YEAH. I THINK THAT’S PROBABLY A AS
MUCH LET THEM CATCH THEIR BREATH AS ANYTHING ELSE.
THE DEFENSE THEY SHOWED OUT THERE WAS A ZONE DEFENSE, WAS A
SOFTER DEFENSE, WHICH ALSO BRINGS IN THE POSSIBILITY OF
MARIOTA RUNNING THIS BALL INTO THE END ZONE.
I DON’T KNOW IF THEY’LL COME BACK WITH IT OR NOT.
>> Mike: WASHINGTON — TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPTS.
DENVER HAS STOPPED THE ONE THEY FACED THIS YEAR.
>> Cris: LOOK AT THIS SLUG FEST. >> Mike: ISN’T IT GREAT.
SO MANY GREAT GAMES ALL WEEK, PRO AND COLLEGE.
THANKSGIVING WEEKEND IS ABOUT GREAT FOOTBALL.
WASHINGTON LOST THEIR LAST SIX, DENVER’S WON EIGHT IN A ROW.
IT COMES DOWN TO THIS. THE RUNNING BACK AT THE BOTTOM
NOW COMING BACK. NEXT TO MARIOTA.
WASHINGTON FOR THE WIN. MARIOTA GETS BONITTO.
AND DENVER HAS WON NINE IN A ROW!
>> Cris: AND A WALK-IN TOUCHDOWN.
THEY HAD A WALK-IN TOUCHDOWN. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS GET IT
OVER THE HEAD OF NIK BONITTO, WHO IS — PERFECTLY.
THE BLITZ WAS THE PERFECT SETUP. THE TOTAL PICK WAS MADE, AND
THERE WAS NO WAY THAT WASN’T GOING TO BE A TOUCHDOWN.
OR A TWO-POINT CONVERSION. >> Mike: NIK BONITTO.
>> Cris: THERE’S THE GUY WHO HAD TO COME OVER AND WATCH HIM GET
PICKED, ABSOLUTELY WIDE OPEN FOR THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION AND THE
WIN. BUT FOR BONITTO’S LONG ARMS.
>> Mike: GETS UP TOO. AND AS YOU SAID, CRIS, THAT’S
THE 86th SNAP OF THE NIGHT. BONITTO’S BEEN ON THE FIELD FOR
SO MANY OF THEM IN THE KEY SPOT. MARCUS MARIOTA HAD SUCH A GOOD
PERFORMANCE TONIGHT FOR THIS WASHINGTON COMMANDERS TEAM.
GOOD PERFORMANCES EVERYWHERE ON THIS FIELD.
>> Cris: AND IF MARIOTA HAD IT TO DO OVER AGAIN, HE COULD HAVE
THROWN IT ABOUT AS HIGH AS HE WANTED TO BECAUSE THERE WAS
NOBODY THERE. I’M SURE HE SAW HIM AND JUST
WANTED TO GET THE BALL TO HIM. AND JUST GIVE CREDIT TO NIK
BONITTO. HE MADE THE PLAY.
BUT I — I NEVER SAY I’M PROUD OF A TEAM, BUT WASHINGTON SHOWED
UP. I’M TELLING YOU, THEY FOUGHT
THEIR TAILS OFF OUT THERE TONIGHT AGAINST A REALLY GOOD
TEAM. >> Mike: THE DENVER BRONCOS’
NINTH WIN IN A ROW AFTER TRAILING AT SOME POINT IN EACH
GAME. IT’S THE LONGEST STREAK IN NFL
HISTORY. DAN QUINN’S NOT ALONE.
A LOT OF GUYS HAVE BEEN SO CLOSE.
BUT NIK BONITTO AND THE DENVER BRONCOS COME UP WITH BIG PLAY
AFTER BIG PLAY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER AND OVERTIME.
MARCUS MARIOTA CAME THIS CLOSE TO A TREMENDOUS COMEBACK WIN.
BUT INSTEAD DENVER GOES TO 10-2. TIED ATOP THE AFC.
CHEVROLET POST GAME AFTER THIS.
