Atlanta Falcons vs. Carolina Panthers FULL GAME | 2025 NFL Season Week 11

CONTENDES AT CONTENDER AT FIVE AND FIVE IN TAMPA BAY FOR FIRST IN THE NFC SOUTH. THE GEORGIA NATIVE HAS IT TEED UP READY TO GO AND YOU SEE MICHAEL PENIX, JSH, AND ROBINSON AND THE OFFENSE FOR ATLANTA FIRST. >> OFF WE GO, WEEK 11 IN THE NFL FROM ATLANTA AND IT’S JAMAL AGNEW ON THE RETURN FOR THE FALCON ACROSS THE 30 YARD LINE AND MICHAEL PENIX, JR., WE SAW HIM PUT UP 21 IN BERLIN ON THIRD DOWN. WHAT DO YOU SEE ON TAPE FROM MICHAEL PENIX, JR., THAT SUGGESTS SOME UPTURN COMING? >> Brady: THAT’S THE HARD THING. THERE HAS BEEN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS AND THE REALITY IS THIS OFFENSE HAS STRUGGLED A BIT IN PARTICULAR AT THIRD DOWN TO STAY ON THE FIELD AND CONVERTED ALL IN BERLIN. THE BIGGER THIENG ARE THING FOR MICHAEL PENIX IS GETTING THE RHYTHM EARLY AND WHEN HE DOES SO THAT TRANSLATES TO THE TOUCHDOWN SUCCESS. >> Jason: ROBINSON, THE TAILBACK IN ATLANTA. A HEAVY MOTION OFFENSE UNDER ZACH ROBINSON. IT’S AN OPENING HANDOFF FOR BIJON ROBINSON AND TO MAKE THE STOP ON THE FIRST MARKER. >> HOLDING, OFFENSE NUMBER 71. TEN-YARD PENALTY AND REPLAY FIRST DOWN. >> Jason: MARTIN WHO HAD IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. >> Brady: HE DID. YOU CAN TELL RIGHT AWAY. IT TOOK WHORTON. I THOUGHT HE HAD A GOOD LOOK AT BIJAN, AND NOT THE WAY YOU WANT TO START OFF A DRIVE RJS AND THIS HAS BEEN FOR ATLANTA ONE OF THE ISSUES AND PREDICTABILITY, AND THE OUTSIDE ZONE RANKED PLAY AND THE NFL WON’T RUN AS MUCH OUTSIDE ZONE AS THE FALCONS. >> Jason: YOU HAVE SIX OUT OF TEN RUN PLAYS OR OUTSIDE ZONE OUT OF THAT PISTOL FORMATION THAT THEY USE MORE THAN ANYBODY IN THE LEAGUE AND IT’S ANOTHER HANDOFF TO ROBINSON, BUT WE EXPECT BOTH THESE TEAMS WILL BE PRETTY RUN HEAVY AND THAT’S WHY PENALTIES ON FIRST DOWN WILL BE A REAL PROBLEM IF THEY INSERT THEMSELVES INTO THIS GAME. >> Brady: THAT’S BEEN THE FORMULA FOR SUCCESS. BIJAN ROBINSON GOES IN EACH OF THE FIRST FOUR SIDES AND THE OFFENSE FOR ATLANTA THAT THE LAST FOUR WEEKS HELD ON TO THAT NUMBER. HE’S ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS PLAYERS. YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO GET HIM THE FOOTBALL IN A VARIETY OF WAYS AND THAT WILL BE THE CHALLENGE WITH ZACH ROBINSON TODAY. >> Jason: CRAIG IS IN THE GAME TODAY WITHOUT THE LEFT GUARD MATTHEW BERGERON FOR THE SECOND WEEK IN A ROW. PENIX OFF THE MOTION FROM SILLS AND A JUGGLE AND THAT BALL IS LOOSE AND IT’S DOWN ON THE GROUND AND RECOVERED EVENTUALLY BY ATLANTA, MOONEY PUTS IT ON DECK AND THAT WAS A CATCH AND FUMBLE AND IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN. >> Brady: THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE PASS GAME. DARNELL MOONEY AND MICHAEL PENIX, AND FINDING THAT CONNECTION. FORCING HIM TO GET BACK INTO FOOTBALL. >> CAROLINA RUSHES FOUR. PENIX WANTED TO LOAD UP AND NOW HE DODGES THE RUSH AND TURNS HIS EYES UPFIELD AND THROWS TO THE SIDELINE AND THAT’S A TOUGH GRAB AND MOONEY WAS AT THE SIDELINE. THAT IS INCOMPLETE. >> Brady: LONGER DEVELOPING PLAY, BUT MOONEY STAYS ALIVE. CAN’T GET BOTH FEET TOO FAR OUTSIDE. THAT’S COREY THORNTON, THE ROOKIE OUT OF LOUISVILLE AND COVERAGE. >> Jason: WE’LL SEE MORE OF HIM TODAY FOR SMITH WADE AND BRADLEY PINION WILL PUNT THIS AWAY TO THE ROOKIE TREVOR ETIENNE. SO CAROLINA VERY QUICKLY GOES THREE AND OUT. CERTAINLY HURT BY THE PENALTY. ETIENNE AT THE 19 HAS THE SIDELINE AND ENDS UP TO THE 27. GOOD TO SEE FOR ATLANTA, IT’S AN 11-YARD RETURN ONLY. THEY DID STRUGGLE IN BERLIN WITH KICK COVERAGE AND BRYCE YOUNG WHOSE MADE A MINI CAREER OUT OF FACING THE FALCONS. HE’S GOT THREE OF HIS 11 WINS AS QUARTERBACK. >> Brady: HE’S HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS AND GOES BACK TO HIS COLLEGE DAYS AND USED TO WIN SEC CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE AND LAST WEEK, ANY CONSISTENT PERFORMANCE FROM BRYCE YOUNG FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THAT AND GETTING THE FIRST WIN OVER THE GREEN BAY PACKERS AND THE 500 FOOTBALL TEAM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE IDENTITY IS. >> Jason: HE’S DINGED UP A LITTLE BIT DURING THE WEEK AND HE’S READY TO GO AND HE’S GOT THE OPENING CARRY. HOW MANY PEOPLE TOLD THUS WEEK THEY WERE VIOLENT ABOUT RICO DOWDLE. >> Brady: HE RUNS THE PHYSICALITY THAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR AND IN THE NFL, AND HE TOOK OVER AFTER CHUBA HUBBARD GOT INJURED EARLIER AND YOU WILL SEE CHUBA HUBBARD TODAY, BUT DOWDLE, THIS WAS A MORE PRODUCTIVE RUNNER. WE THOUGHT DOWDLE WAS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE AND HAD THE BEST CHANCE AT WINNING. >> Jason: EVANS IN THE GAME AS AN EXTRA TIGHT END. TOMMY TREMBLE, AS WELL. BRYCE TO THROW AND HE THREES TO THE TIGHT END EVANS WHO WAS KNOCKED DOWN AFTER A GAIN OF ABOUT TWO. IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN COMING UP AND THE ATLANTA DEFENSE WHICH HAS BEEN MUCH BETTER AGAINST THE PASS THIS YEAR. THE RUN DEFENSE HAS BEEN SOMETHING OF OF A STRUGGLE. >> Brady: AS YOU LOOK AT THIS THIRD DOWN SITUATION, WHEN IS THAT OFF THE TABLE WHEN YOU STAY THIRD AND SHORT, AND TWO WEEKS AGO THE PANTHERS ABLE TO BEAT THE PACKERS. HE HAD THIRD AND SHORE LAST WEEK AND NOT SO MUCH THE CASE. >> ATLANTA HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD ON THIRD AND THREE OR FEWER AND SIX BEST IN THE NFL AND THIS IS TWO EXACTLY AND BRYCE YOUNG SCANNING, THROWING DOWN THE FIELD. IT’S COKER GAINING 15 AND THE FIRST DOWN. >> Brady: THIS IS ONE OF THE STRENGTHS OF BRYCE YOUNG. WORKING THROUGH HIS PROGRESSION. HE STARTS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FIELD AND GOES THROUGH NUMBER ONE, NUMBER TWO AND FINDS HIS WAY BACK TO COKER OPEN IN THE MID EVALUATE FIELD. GOOD JOB BY COKER. GOOD TO SEE HIM BACK HEALTHY. >> Jason: THIS IS HIS EIGHTH OF QAA OF THE YEAR. IT’S BEEN SO T-MACK HEAVY AND McMILLIN AND HIS OFFENSE, AND THEY’VE HAD VARIABLES THEY ADDED WITH COKER THIS WEEK. >> Jason: OPENING DRIVE FOR CAROLINA TO MIDFIELD. DOWDLE GETS A YARD AND A HALF, IF THAT. OROHORU, HOW DO YOU NOT GET PREDICTABLE? >> Brady: THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE SUCCESS WITH THAT AND THEY BOTH HAVE RECEIVERS AND McMILLAN FOR CAROLINA THEY’RE THE NUMBER ONE GO-TO GUYS THAT GET A LOT OF ATTENTION AND IT’S A WAY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE OTHER PIECES AND YOU PRESENT THE DEFENSE. >> Jason: THE SECONDARY FOR ATLANTA OFFERED BOTH INACTIVE TODAY FOR THE FALCONS. YOUNG WILL PUMP AND HE’LL TRY TO LOB IT AND IT CAME OUT WEIRD. THAT WAS KHALID KAREEM WHO CAME IN TO EFFECT THAT PASS AND IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN AND NINE. >> Brady: IT WAS A DOUBLE MOVE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT KHALID KAREEM AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREAM. WORKING ON OKWAMU AND HE SIGNED TO THE ACTIVE ROSTER THIS WEEK. >> FOURTH-YEAR MAN OUT OF NOTRE DAME. FORMER FIFTH ROUND PICK OF THE BENGALS AND ATLANTA MIXING AND MATCHING WITH DEFENSIVE INJURIES TODAY. THIRD AND NINE FOR BRYCE YOUNG. QUICK HIT HER, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE TO THE 41. IT WILL BE JUST SHORT. JA’TAVION SANDERS, THE TIGHT END AND LIKELY CAROLINA IS GOING FOR THIS. >> Brady: THE TOUGHEST OF BRYCE YOUNG. HE CAME UP UNTOUCHED WIDE UP THE GUT AND PUT HIM IN FOURTH AND SHORT. >> Jason: CAROLINA HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD ON FOURTH DOWN. 17 FOR 25. ATLANTA’S ONLY SEEN 14 AGAINST THIS YEAR. >> Jason: YOUNG GIVING SOME GROUND AND SLING IT OVER THE MIDDLE. HE’S GOT IT AND THEN SOME FOR XAVIER LEGETTE ALL OF THE WAY DOWN TO THE 21 ON A FOURTH DOWN AND ONE. >> Brady: YOU’VE GOT TO LOVE THE PLAY DESIGN, TOO, ON FOURTH AND TWO. ON THE DEFENSE, ONE DIRECTION, BOOTING BACK TO THE OTHER AND EVERYONE DROPS. XAVIER LEGETTE WHO JUST SNEAKS BEHIND THE DEFENSE. NICE AWARENESS. AGAIN, FINDING THAT SOFT SPOT IN THE COVERAGE. >> Jason: THAT’S JUST THE SECOND CATCH THE LAST THREE WEEKS FOR XAVIER LEGETTE AND A BIG ONE THERE FOR A PANTHER FIRST DOWN IN THE EDGE OF THE RED ZONE. THEY’LL THROW AGAIN. YOUNG TO DOWDLE OUT OF THE BACK FIELD. RICO DOWDLE IS OUT OF BOUNDS AFTER THE GAIN OF TWO. ELLISS, SECOND DOWN COMING UP. CAROLINA HAS SUCH A TOUGH SCHEDULE ON THE WAY. THIS IS ONE OF THE GAMES THAT THEY LOOK AT AND THEY’RE REALLY GOING TO MAKE THEMSELVES A PLAYOFF CONTEND E YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS? IT’S CLOSE. >> Brady: CAROLINA, WE KNOW AS MUCH AS THAT. >> Jason: DOWDLE HITS THAT SO HARD ALL OF THE WAY DOWN TO THE 15. IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN AND FOUR COMING UP. CAROLINA TEAM, THEY STILL HAVE TWO GAMES LEFT WITH TAMPA BAY, THE VERY END OF THE YEAR. THE WIN PERCENTAGE ABOVE 560, IT’S THE TOUGHEST REMAINING SCHEDULE. >> Brady: IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE NUMBER YOU NEED TO MAKE IT INTO THE PLAYOFFS AND EVEN AS A WILD CARD AND THE DIVISION. YOU’LL PROBABLY HAVE TO ASSURE THERE ARE FIVE MORE WINS WITH THE SCHEDULE THE REST OF THE WAY. >> Jason: McMILLIN IN THE SLOT AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN, PART OF THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE FORMATION AND BRYCE YOUNG LOOKING AT THAT DIRECTION. HE’S GOT McMILLIN INSIDE THE 5 AND A FIRST AND GOAL FOR CAROLINA, BUT THAT’S HIS FIRST TARGET. IT’S BEEN A MORE MULTIPLE OFFENSE SO FAR. >> Brady: WHEN THEY MOVE HIM AROUND A BIT, IN THIS CASE THEY PUT HIM INTO THE SLOT TO FIND THE ZONE COVERAGE TO GET THE CONVERSION. A LOT OF FALCONS DEFENSE WILL BE ON HIM ESPECIALLY IN THIS PORTION OF THE FIELD AND GOING 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. HE AND WALKER HAVE BEEN MENACING TOGETHER RECENTLY. >> 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 AND THEY’LL MOTION DOWDLE AND IT’S NEXT TO BRYCE YOUNG. >> Jason: YOUNG STEPS UP, EYES DOWNFIELD AND HE’LL TURN IT UPFIELD AND END UP AT THE NINE AND IT’S HARRISON AT THE STOP. >> Brady: LOOKS LIKE JAMES PEARCE GOT IT. >> DEFENSE NUMBER 27. FIVE YARD PENALTY. STILL SECOND DOWN. >> Jason: BRYCE YOUNG SAW IT AND IMMEDIATELY CLIMBED THE POCKET OFF THE SNAP. >> Brady: HE LIKED TO TAKE THE SHOT IN THE END ONE. >> IT WASN’T AS GREAT OF A JUMP BECAUSE HE REALIZED IT WASN’T TOO GREAT OF OF A JUMP. >> Brady: THAT’S SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE ON FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. JAMES PIERCE AND BOTH THESE GUYS CAN REALLY GET AFTER IT AND IT’S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE FALCONS ARE ONE OF THE PASS RUSH TEAMSES. >> Jason: I KNOW YOU GET CHOKED UP BY THE PASS RUSH. [ LAUGHTER ] SECOND AND GOAL. YOUNG KEEPS IT, SWINGS IT INTO TRAFFIC AND RIGHT AT THE GOAL LINE AND McMILLIN IS IN. IT’S A TOUCHDOWN CAROLINA, INTO A PHONE BOOTH! ♪♪ ♪ >> Brady: THIS IS AN AREA WHERE BRYCE YOUNG EXCELS, ALMOST LIKE A POINT OUT THERE ON THE FIELD. HE JUST HAS THIS UNCANNY ABILITY TO SEE THE SOFT SPOTS IN ZONE COVERAGE AND WATCH McMILLIN, TURNS AROUND, GETS BIG AND USING THE POWER AND STRENGTH TO GET IN THE END ZONE AND IT’S THE TIMING AND THE ACCURACY AND GIVEN THE CONNECTION THEY’VE GOT FINDING THEIR WAY IN THE END ZONE. >> Jason: CAROLINA HAS THE OPENING DEFENSE THAT’S BEEN OUTSTANDING IN THE FIRST QUARTER IT’S ANOTHER STRONG START FOR CAROLINA. >> Jason: FITZGERALD BOOTS IT AWAY AND THE LANDING ZONE INSIDE THE 5. IT’S BROOKS TO THE 20 AND HE GETS ABSOLUTELY HAMMERED AT THE 24 YARD LINE. MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, WHAT A HIT! THAT’S PRINCELY WHO JUST DEMOLISHED HIM. >> UMANMIELEN IS ONE OF THE SPECIAL TALENTS THAT YOU WILL SEE TODAY. TWO MORE ROOKIES THAT WERE BROUGHT IN TO PUT PRESSURE THE EDGE. >> Jason: THEY SEE HIM AS A SPEED RUSHER AND IT WAS ON FULL DISPLAY. >> Brady: YES, IT WAS. >> Jason: FIRST DOWN FOR ATLANTA. ROBINSON FALLS OFF THE PLAY ACTION, PENIX DOWN THE MIDDLE AND DRAKE LONDON. HIS FIRST GRAB AND HE WAS DEALING WITH A SICKNESS AND BACK ISSUE AND ROBINSON FELL AND EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT. IT’S FIRST DOWN, ATLANTA. >> Brady: THEY’LL RUN MOONEY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE AND IT WILL HELP CLEAR A WINDOW AND THEN IT’S ABOUT DRAKE LONDON ELEVATING AND HIGH POINTING THAT FOOTBALL. J HE SEES NEARLY A THIRD OF THE PASSES IN THIS OFFENSE. IT’S ABOUT 30% OF THE TIME HE’S TARGETED. HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN FOR ATLANTA AND NOW ROBINSON LOOKING FOR THE LEFT SIDE AND HE’S BEEN BOTTLED UP THE LAST FOUR GAMES DURING THIS LOSING STREAK AND IT’S WHARTON AND ROBINSON THAT TIME. >> Brady: WE TALKED ABOUT THE PREDICTABILITY OF THE FALCONS’ RUSHING ATTACK AND A LOT OF ZONE BLOCKING IN GENERAL AND YOU’D LIKE TO SEE THEM IMPLEMENT AND GAP BLOCKING AND MIXED UP THE LOOKS SO THE DEFENSIVE FRONT CAN’T GET A BEAT ON. >> Jason: IT’S PREDICTABLE, PERSONNEL WISE, WHY NOT USE THEM? >> PENIX DOWN THE MIDDLE AND LONDON WIDE OPEN. INSIDE THE TEN, DOWN TO THE FIVE AND TRAYVON SAVED THE TOUCHDOWN, AND ONCE AGAIN ATLANTA LOVES THE DRINK. >> Brady: IF YOU’RE THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR YOU HAVE TO BE PULLING OUT YOUR HAIR RIGHT NOW. I’M NOT SURE HE’S GOT ANY LEFT. YOU CANNOT DROP DRAKE LONDON AND ALLOW HIM TO BE THIS WIDE OPEN IN YOUR ZONE COVERAGE. >> Jason: UNREAL. THREE. IT’S ROBINSON AND HE BREAKS TWO TACKLES. OH, MY! WHAT A RUGGED RUN THAT WAS! >> Brady: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. [ INAUDIBLE ] >> Jason: AND IT WILL STAND AND RIGHTFULLY SO. >> Brady: JUST THE POWER AND THE DETERMINATION. I MEAN, IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. NICE LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY. MIKE JACKSON GETS THE FIRST SHOT AT IT, BUT JUST DOESN’T GIVE UP. >> Jason: GIBSON WAS DRAPED ON HIS BACK AND IT WASN’T ENOUGH. >> Brady: YOU HAVE TO KEEP FEEDING THE MAN, EVEN IF HE’S NOT THERE EARLY, HE’LL DO SOMETHING SPECIAL. TOUCHDOWN. >> Brady: 60% OF YOUR OFFENSE IF YOU’RE AN ATLANTA FALCONS FAN. YOU FIND A WAY TO WORK WITH THE TWO GUYS WITH THE BALL, GOOD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN. >> Jason: AND THE TOUCHBACK, TO GIVE CAROLINA THE FOOTBALL AND BRYCE YOUNG AND THIS OFFENSE ON THE OPENING DRIVE, SEVEN AND A HALF MINUTES. HE WAS SEVEN FOR EIGHT. WHAT DID YOU LIKE FOR THE QUARTERBACK? >> Brady: HE REALLY EXCELS AT THE SPOT ROUTES. THE RECEIVER PUSHES UP, FINDS THE SPOT IN THE COVERAGE AND SETTLES DOWN. THEY FOUND A NICHE FOR THIS, AND YOU WILL SEE THIS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE GAME. FIRST, SECOND DOWN. THEY SORT OF SEE THE TOP OFF OF THE DEFENSE. IT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT’S BEEN LACKING. IT FEELS LIKE THERE’S A CEILING ON THIS OFFENSE THAT’S PUSHED THE BALL VERTICALLY DOWNFIELD. >> Jason: THEY’VE NOT SEEN A LOT OF DEEP SHOTS PERCENTAGEWISE FROM THIS OFFENSE THIS YEAR. YOUNG ON FIRST DOWN. THE PLAY ACTION FOR DOWDLE. HE’LL GO UP TOP AND McMILLTHE G, 7-0. JASON? >> Jason: INTERESTING FOR CAROLINA AND THE BOUNCEBACK WIN THERE, AS WELL. WHO KNOWS? >> Brady: IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN YOU’D LIKE TO BE ASCENDING WITH YOUR BEST FOOTBALL. >> Jason: THE TUCKER INJURY CERTAINLY DOES NOT HELP. OUT, ETIENNE, HE GETS A YARD AND THAT’S ALL HARRISON AGAIN WITH THE HITS. SECOND DOWN COMING UP. >> YOU SEE CHUBA HUBBARD ALONG WITH DOWDLE AND ETIENNE. HARRISON IN THE LINEBACKER ROOM FOR ATLANTA WHO HAS BEEN THINNED OUT PRETTY SUBSTANTIALLY THIS YEAR. STILL AWAITING THE RETURN OF DEABLO. >> Jason: DOWDLE TURNED AROUND AND HE’LL END UP WITH THREE AND THE FIRST MAN IN WAS STREET WITH ATLANTA, ACTIVATED THIS WEEK AS WELL. A LOT OF DEFENSIVE INJURIES FOR THIS TEAM. >> Brady: A LOT OF DEFENSIVE INJURIES AND THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO OVERCOME IT IN PARTICULAR IN PAST SITUATIONS AND THE PRESSURE THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO GET. >> Jason: IT IS DOWDLE ON THIRD AND SIX. PRESSURE SHOWN. AND THAT IS BOWMAN COMING UP TO 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! >> Jason: BRYCE YOUNG IS DOWN ON THE PLAY AND HURT. IT WAS AN AWKWARD FALL FOR BRYCE YOUNG. BOWMAN CAME SURGING IN AND BRYCE YOUNG IS DOWN. >> 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 YOUNGHERE. SO BRYCE YOUNG WILL GO GET LOOKED AT AFTER THE SACK BY BILLY BOWMAN, BRADY. >> Brady: YEAH. IT LOOKS LIKE THE RIGHT GUARD HERE, ZAVALA, EVERYTHING ELSE IS PICKED UP. YOUNG DID PICK IT UP AND SOMETHING WAS NOT COMMUNICATED IN THE SACK AND NOW THE INJURY. >> Jason: SAM BARTON BARELY GOT THAT PUNT OFF AND A FAIR CATCH INSIDE THE 9 FOR AGNEW AND IT BOUNCES OUT OF BOUND, FORTUNATELY FOR HIM AND ATLANTA — WOW. >> Brady: THIS THING FELT LIKE IT WAS HANGING IN THE AIR FOREVER. YOU DO HAVE TO WONDER, TOO, WITH THE ROOF OPEN IT’S NOT VERY COMMON THEY OPEN UP HERE IN MERCEDES BENZ STADIUM IN THEM HAVING TO PLAY A ROLE IN PICKING UP THE FOOTBALL. >> Jason: 8% OF THE STADIUM FEELS LIKE THEY’RE IN KAWHI. AND THE OTHER PERCENT. >> Brady: THE THREE PIECE-SUIT. >> Jason: YOU MIGHT BE ONE PIECE TOO MANY. NOT FOR ME TO JUDGE. FIRST DOWN FOR ATLANTA AFTER THE PUNT. >> Jason: ROSEBOOK OUT TO THE LINE. IF YOU’RE A SECONDARY PLAYER AND YOU’RE TRYING TO FILL A HOLE, BIJAN ROBINSON HAS SOMETHING FOR YOU. >> Brady: THAT’S FAIR. IT’S TOUGH SLEDDING FOR THOSE GUYS AND WHEN YOU TALK TO ZACH ROBINSON, IF THEY GET THE FRONT BLOCK AND BIJAN ROBINSON IS HARD TO TACKLE IN SPACE AND LET ALONE TO BRING HIM DOWN AS WE SAW IN THE LAST TOUCHDOWN RUN. >> Jason: HE’LL MOTION LONDON. ROBINSON AGAIN SHOWING PACE AND GET HIM TO THE EDGE AND BIJAN ROBINSON TO THE 29. >> Brady: AND THIS IS JUST ALL BIJAN ROBINSON. THIS PLAY WAS SUPPOSED TO DESIGN TO GO TO THE FRONT SIDE. INSTEAD, HE HAS THE VISION TO SEE THE BACK SIDE IN THE HUGE GAME. >> NF C SOUTH, AND THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL AND ONE WORKED UNDER THE OTHER AND I THINK THAT YOU THINK THAT I THINK WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO DO. WE ARE TIED AT SEVEN AFTER A QUARTER. ROBINSON, THE MOTION MAN, AND HE ABSOLUTELY SURGES THROUGH THE HOLE. OFF THE HESITATION THAT WILL BE SECOND DOWN AND SHORT COMING UP. >> Brady: THAT’S SOMEONE YOU DIDN’T SEE A LOT OF LAST YEAR. KYLE PITT, THE TIGHT END. LAST YEAR THEY’D BE RUNNING AWAY FROM HIM, BUT HE’S IMPROVED SO MUCH IN HIS RUN BLOCKING THAT HE CAN BE AT THE POINT OF ATTACK AND MUCH MORE BALANCED WITH THE CAT AND MOUSE GAME WITH THE TWO STAFFS AND HAS BEEN GREAT. >> Jason: ROBINSON AGAIN FOR FIRST DOWN. HOW QUICKLY DO YOU BECOME PREDICTABLE IN THIS LEAGUE NOW, BRADY? >> Brady: YOU’RE PREDICTABLE BASED ON YOUR PERSONALITY. WHEN YOU PRESENT A DEFENSE WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS IT’S PRETTY EASY THAN TO HIDE WHAT YOU ATTEMPT TO DO AND WORKING WITH THE MATCHUPS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE GUYS THAT ARE PITCHING IN WE’LL MAKE SURE YOUR EXECUTION IS UP AND YOU’RE DOING DIFFERENT THINGS TO HELP GET THOSE GUYS TO FOOTBALL. >> Jason: LONDON, THE MOTION MAN AND PENIX COMING THIS WAY AND HE’S GOT IT FOR MOONEY ACROSS THE 40. A COUPLE OF LOOKS TO MOONEY EARLY ON FROM PENIX. >> Brady: IN TALKING TO ZACH ROBINSON HE SAID WE HAVE TO GET HIM AND MIKE ON THE SAME PAGE. WITH THE BROKEN COLLARBONE AND DEALING WITH A HAMSTRING AND THEY NEVER FELT LIKE MOONEY’S GOTTEN INTO A RHYTHM AND THEY STRUGGLED TO DEVELOP THE CHEMISTRY AND WITH ONE GAME THEY OPEN THINGS UP AND ADD ANOTHER ELEMENT TO THE OFFENSE. >> Jason: ONE CATCH IN EACH OF THE LAST THREE WEEKS FOR MOONEY, THE FORMER CHICAGO BEAR. PETE ROBINSON ON THE CUTBACK, AND HE’LL TAKE HIS FOUR OR SO. SECOND DOWN COMING UP. SO IF YOU’RE ZACH ROBINSON, WHAT’S THE NEXT HORIZON FOR THIS OFFENSE? >> Brady: IT’S CONTINUING TO EVOLVE, AND I THINK YOU EVOLVE WITH MICHAEL PENIX. HE’S ONLY GOT NOT EVEN A FULL SEASON OF STARTS UNDER HIS BELT. SO YOUR OFFENSE WILL GO AS HE GOES AND ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SEE OFTEN IS BIJAN ROBINSON IN THE SHOCK AND THAT’S CALLED PISTOL. THAT’S SOMETHING THEY WORKED THROUGH A LOT BECAUSE OF THE COMFORT OF MICHAEL PENIX. >> Jason: AS PENIX UNLOADS FOR LONDON WHO IS VERY CLOSE TO THE LINE. >> Brady: THERE’S BEEN CRITICISM. THAT’S MORE OF A COLLEGE-STYLE SYSTEM OR OFFENSE TO PUT THE RUNNING BACK THAT FAR BACK, BUT THEY DO FEEL LIKE THEY WANT TO FEED TO THE CONFIDENCE OF MICHAEL PENIX AND WHAT HE FEELS COMFORTABLE DOING AND THAT HELPS IN SOME OF THE OUTSIDE ZONE TO GET THE BALL INTO BIJAN ROBINSON’S HAND SOONER. >> Jason: SEE IF YOU’RE ROBINSON IF YOU’RE ON THIRD AND ONE. >> Jason: IT IS, AND IT’S VERY CLOSE. LET’S SEE. HE’S GOING TO BE SHORT. THERE IS A MARKER DOWN AT THE 27th. >> HOLDING, DEFENSE NUMBER 7. >> Jason: THAT’S THE SECOND HOLDING AGAINST THE PANTHERS DEFENSIVE LINE TODAY. >> Brady: THERE’S NUMBER 97 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DEFENSE. REALLY TRYING TO CREATE A SEAM FOR YOUR LINEBACKER. NUMBER 53. THEY’RE TRYING TO ALLOW HIM TO RUN THROUGH AND GET THE STOP AND INSTEAD THEY’RE BEING CALLED FOR HOLDING. >> SHERRILL IS IN FOR CAROLINA. >> Jason: NOW TWO BACKS, ROBINSON AND ALLGEIER AND WE EXPECTED TO SEE MORE OF THAT TODAY. SWINGING RIGHT TO HIM AND BIJAN ROBINSON AND LEADING TACKLE WITH FIRST AND THAT’S ANOTHER DIMENSION AND ANOTHER TENTACLE YEAR FOR THE ATLANTA OFFENSE. >> THAT’S A CREDIT TO TYLER ALLGEIER AND EVEN THOUGH BIJAN IS BACK THERE HIGHLIGHTING. THEY WANT THEM TO STAY ON THE SIDELINE. BIJAN ROBINSON TAKES A BRIEK. >> Jason: ALLGEIER HAS BEEN SUCH A TOUCHDOWN MAKER AND THE BYU LINEBACKER FOR A TIME. >> Jason: SECOND DOWN, FIRST TOUCH FOR ALLGEIER. FRESH OFF THE SIDELINE AND STEPPING THROUGH TACKLES AND A SECOND COMES FLYING IN FROM THE BACK SIDE OF THE PLAY, AS WELL. WE’LL SEE. THESE ARE TWO DISTINCT FOULS, IT LOOKS LIKE. >> Brady: ONE IN THE BACK WILL BE A HOLDING. NOT SURE WHAT I SAW WHEN HE WAS THROWING THE FLAG IN FOR HIM. >> Jason: CLAY MARTIN WILL RIFLE THROUGH IT ALL. >> TWO FOULS ON THE PLAY. BOTH BY THE OFFENSE. ILLEGAL BLOCK IN THE BACK, NUMBER 11. THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED. HOLDING, NUMBER 8. TWO-YARD PENALTY. REPLAY SECOND DOWN. >> Brady: JUST WERE GIVEN KYLE PITTS CREDIT FOR THE IMPROVED BLOCKING. HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE, GETS CALLED FOR THE HOLDING. STILL WORK IN PROGRESS. YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN HE’S HOLDING NICK SCOURTON. >> Jason: YOU SEE THE NUMBER IS A JAGGED FRONT ON THE FALCONS JERSEY. THEY JUST CALLED IT ON JALON WALKER, I BELIEVE 71 RATHER THAN 11 WOULD BE MY GUESS. >> Brady: THAT IS CORRECT. >> Jason: THANK YOU. A BIG FRONT GUY, BRADY QUINN. SECOND DOWN AND 14 FOR ATLANTA. >> Brady: I SENSED SOME FRUSTRATION FROM YOUR COLLEGE GAMES. >> Jason: PENIX TO ALLGEIER AND HE IS STONEWALLED AT THE 24. MERRICK GOT ENOUGH OF HIM TO SLOW HIM DOWN AND IT’S THIRD DOWN AS SHERRILL HAS FINISHED THE DEAL. >> Brady: THIS PANTHERS DEFENSE, THE WAY THEY UTILIZE HIM IT’S AT THE LINEBACKER LEVEL AND SAFETY AND THERE WILL ABE SLOT AT NICKELBACK AND A TACKLER, AND GOOD IN STOPPING THE RUN AND GOOD IN COVERAGE AND DOES EVERYTHING WELL. YOU TALK TO RIVERO AND YOU SAY THIS IS THE CHESS PIECE IN THE DEFENSE AND ALLOWS US TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS. >> Jason: HE’S BEEN SO IMPORTANT TO THIS DEFENSE BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. THERE IN THE OPEN FIELD THE FORM EARN RAIDER AT LEAST GUMMED IT UP. IT’S THIRD AND TEN, THE TENTH PLAY OF THE DRIVE FOR ATLANTA. PENIX HAS LOADS OF TIME AND WILL SLIDE IT FOR THE FIRST DOWN TO MOONEY AND A TOUGH CATCH AGAINST MULTIPLE CATS. >> Brady: THIS IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, TOO. TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET DARNELL MOONEY GOING. TWICE NOW TO RELEASE, AND A BIG HIT FROM COREY THORNTON. STILL HANGS ON TO THE FOOTBALL. YOU MADE THE CASE, HE WAS DEFENSELESS IN THAT POSITION WHEN THORNTON HIT HIM. >> Jason: YEAR TWO IN CHICAGO DARNELL MOODY HAD BREAKOUT CATCHES AND HE WAS TRYING TO GET BACK TO NUMBERS IN THAT STRATOSPHERE. PENIX ON THE SCREEN. ROBINSON WILL WAIT FOR A SECOND AND ROBINSON DOWN TO THE 2. >> Brady: WOW! JUST THE WAY HE PUNISHED MERRICK AT THE END OF THIS RUN, THIS SCORES IF KYLE CAN COVER UP HIS BLOCK ON THE OUTSIDE. GREAT PLAY CALL FOR THE PERFECT COVERAGE AND THE END. >> Jason: AFTER THAT, FIRST AND GOAL, ATLANTA, THEY’LL FEED HIM DOWN TO THE 1. >> Brady: THAT’S ALL WHARTON, DERRICK BROWN. THE CAROLINA PANTHERS DEFENSE BOEING UP ON THAT PLAY. >> Brady: IT’S GOOD TO SEE DERRICK BROWNBACK THIS SEASON HEALTHY AND THE FIRST MATCHUP WASN’T QUITE 100% AND HE’S PLAYING THAT WAY NOW. >> Jason: HE GREW UP A FALCONS FAN. ATLANTA, HERE IT GOES TO ROBINSON AND AN EASY TOUCHDOWN FOR THE POWERHOUSE BIJAN ROBINSON! >> Brady: WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND YOU SEE HIM IN THE PISTOL FORMATION. WATCH THE CUTBACK. THEY GET THE BALL TO HIM SOONER AND HE IS ABLE TO SEE THE LANE WHEN NOTHING IS THERE ON THE FRONT SIDE AND THAT’S PART OF THE REASON FOR THIS PISTOL FORMATION AND THE OUTSIDE ZONE AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IT. >> Jason: THAT EXTRA SPLIT SECOND DOES WHAT, DO YOU THINK, BRADY? >> Brady: IT DOES EVERYTHING. IT’S LIKE HAVING AN EXTRA HALF SECOND IN THE POCKET FOR THE QUARTERBACK. >> Jason: CHECK ONTEXAS A & M. >> Jason: THAT’S TRUE. I WANTED TO GET MY MONEY’S WORTH. >> Brady: I DON’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE KIDS COMING IN THE LEAGUE WITH SO MANY PLAYERS FROM SO MANY PLACES. >> Jason: LIST THEM ALL OFF AS WE DID AS A COLLECTIVE. IT’S VERY NICE. ZAYNE GONZALEZ, >> Jason: SO THE YEAR THE PANTHERS DRAFTED CAM NEWTON IN THE FIRST ROUND THE BENGALS DRAFTED A QUARTERBACK IN THE SECOND ROUND BY THE NAME OF ANDY DALTON. >> Brady: THAT’S RIGHT. >> Jason: HE’S NOW GOING TO BE THE QUARTERBACK FOR CAROLINA 14 YEARS AFTER THAT IN GAME NUMBER 180 OF HIS NFL CAREER BECAUSE OF THE INJURY LAST DRIVE FOR BRYCE YOUNG. >> Brady: AND HE’S ALREADY FILLED IN FOR BRYCE YOUNG AND HERE’S THE INJURY. BILLY BAUMAN, OFF THE EDGE AND HARD RUNNER AND YOU DON’T WANT TO SPECULATE WHAT THE INJURY IS AND LEFT THE TUNNEL AND IS QUESTIONABLE TO RETURN AT THIS POINT. HE’S BACK OUT. >> Jason: HE’S NOW 100% TO BE ON THE SIDELINE, BUT QUESTIONABLE COMEBACK INTO THE GAME AND HE IS SUCH A HUGE PART OF THIS CAROLINA OFFENSE. THIS GOES ROLLING THROUGH THE END ZONE AND LET’S SEE. BRYCE YOUNG HAS SOME HOP IN HIS STEP AND HE’S COMING BACK INTO THIS GAME. >> Brady: THE TELLTALE SIGN WAS EDDIE KNOWS HOW TO HOLD ON AND HE TAKES IT OFF AND HIGH FIVES A COUPLE OF GUYS. I DON’T KNOW IF HE WAS RELIEVED. >> Jason: HOW ABOUT THAT? ANDY DALTON IN YEAR NUMBER 15 WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE DRIVE AND LOOK, HE WANTS BRYCE YOUNG FOR THE TEAM’S SAKE TO PLAY. >> Brady: OF COURSE. HE FELT EARLIER THIS SEASON WHEN BRYCE WAS DEALING WITH AN ANKLE INJURY AND QUITE FRANKLY HE’S BEEN DEALING WITH SOME MINOR THINGS. >> Jason: SO BRYCE YOUNG IS BACK AND CAROLINA HAS IT FROM THE 20. IN AND CHECKING AT THE LINE. DOWDLE ON A FIRST DOWN CARRY. HE GETS THREE AND THERE’S A MARKER BACK AT THE 17. >> HOLDING. OFFENSE NUMBER 62. FIVE-YARD PENALTY — EXCUSE ME, 10-YARD PENALTY. FIRST DOWN. >> Brady: CAROLINA WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT HOLDING CALL. >> Jason: YEAH. WE HAVE TO TAKE YOUR FIRST ANSWER IS WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. >> Brady: YOU WILL SEE ZAVALA AT RIGHT GUARD TALKED ABOUT THE LAST SERIES WHEN YOUNG WAS A FREE RUNNER AND GOT HIT AND HE PROBABLY NEEDED TO PICK UP BOWMAN AND GETS CAUGHT. >> Jason: GOOD TO SEE BRYCE YOUNG BACK IN THIS GAME AGAINST CAROLINA. >> Brady: EIGHT DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF THE LINE AND IT’S BEEN A BIT OF MUSICAL CHAIRS. >> Jason: THEY HAVE TO GO HERE. HE WANTS THE BALL AND THEY DIDN’T GET IT OFF. HE WAS HAMMERING HIS HANDS TOGETHER CLAPPING FOR THE SNAP AND HE NEVER GOT IT IN TIME. >> OFFENSE NUMBER 17. FIVE-YARD PENALTY. FIRST DOWN. >> Jason: IT’S ON LEGETTE ON THE FALSE START. >> Brady: AND THEY GIVE YOU EVERY BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT IN THE LAST SECOND TO SNAP THE FOOTBALL. THERE IS A BIT OF A DELAY BETWEEN THE PLAY CLOCK. >> Jason: YEP. >> Brady: IN THAT CASE IT’S CALLED ON LEGETTE. >> Jason: FIRST IN FOREVER. FIRST IN 25, AS LOUD AS IT’S BEEN ON DEFENSE FOR ATLANTA HERE TODAY. GIVE IT TO DOWDLE, COVERING UP THE FOOTBALL AS HE SAW THE ONCOMING JALON WALKER AND IT WILL BE SECOND DOWN. >> Brady: HE’LL GO BACK TO THE FIRST SCORING DRIVE OF THE DAY. NINE PASSES, THREE RUSHES AND BE AWARE OF ATLANTA WHEN HE STOPPED THE RUN AND TAKE AWAY DOWDLE. THE SPOT ROUTE AND SOME OF THE EASY PITCHES AND CATCHES THAT WE SAW IN THE FIRST OPEN DRIVE. >> THEY WERE EMPTY HERE. BROWNS YOUNG STOLE IT AND THE PENALTY HAS HURT HIS DRIVE. THE PAIR OF THEM. BOWMAN FADES BACK AND ATLANTA RUSHES THREE AND LONG AND TAKES IT OUT OF BOUNDS. THEY’VE GOT AT LEAST A LITTLE HEAT THAT TIME ON SECOND DOWN. >> Brady: WELL, THAT’S PART OF THE REASON WHY YOU DRAFT GUYS LIKE JALON WALKER AND YOU HAVE THOSE GUYS AND PROVIDE A BUNCH OF VARIATIONS OF COVERAGE AND MANNED WROEN AND MIX ZONE AND TY THEY WERE SO MUCH IMPROVED THIS SEASON. ZONE ZONE AND THAT’S WHY THEY WERE SO MUCH IMPROVED THIS SEASON. >> Jason: BIGGEST IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PASS GUARD ALLOWED AND THAT GETS SUBMARINED BY BOWMAN WHO HAS HAD A WHALE OF A FIRST HALF FOR ATLANTA. >> Brady: COBEE BRYANT, TOO, GOT ACTIVATED AND BROUGHT UP, AS WELL. THE ROOKIE OUT OF KANSAS JUST TRYING TO ADD YARDS ON TO THE PUNT AT THIS POINT. BOWMAN AS WELL AND EVERYONE IS SWARMING THE FOOTBALL. >> Jason: COBEE BRYANT IS A BALL OF ENERGY. HAVING SEEN HIM IN KANSAS, THRILLED TO BE ON THE FIELD, THE ROOKIE FOR ATLANTA. MART TO MARTIN TO PUNT FROM THE END ZONE AND AGNEW WATCHES THIS ROLL OUT OF BOUNDS AND ATLANTA WILL HAVE THE BALL NOT FAR SIDELINE. BERGERON. ELLISS IS QUITE THE PERSONALITY. YOU CAN TELL HE LOVES FOOTBALL AND LOVES THE WHOLE TEAM DYNAMIC AND THEY HAD A DYNAMIC PLAYER IN THE TRENCHES FOR A DECADE FOR UTAH AND THE FALCONS OFFENSE HAS IT AND ROBINSON ONCE AGAIN, HE HAS BEEN A DYNAMO TODAY. IT’S 11 ON A FIRST DOWN CARRY TO MOVE THE STICKS. >> Brady: DRAKE LONDON GETS A LOT OF CREDIT FOR WHAT HE IS, A WIDE RECEIVER CATCHING THE FOOTBALL. IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS TO ME, THOUGH. HE WAS AT THE POINT OF ATTACK ON THE FRONT SIDE BLOCKING PER MER AND IT ALLOWS ROBINSON TO BECOME SPECIAL. >> Jason: JUST 84 LAST WEEK FOR BIJAN ROBINSON AND AGAIN, EARLIER IN THE YEAR WAS MAMMOTH FOR THIS OFFENSE AND TEAMS HAVE LOADED THE BOX MORE AGAINST HIM WITH FIVE TO GO IN THIS FIRST HALF FOR THE FALCONS RIGHT BACK THERE. RIGHT UP THE ZIPPER AND HE’S GOT FOUR THAT SET UP SECOND DOWN. >> Brady: WHAT CHANGED? IF YOU GO BACK TO THE STRUGGLES OF THE FALCONS ON THIRD DOWN, THERE HAVE BEEN THIRD AND LONG AND THAT COMES BACK TO THE LACK OF SUCCESS ON FIRST AND SECOND DOWN, STAYING OFF TRACK. >> Jason: TWIENTH I 29th AND IN THREE WEEKS THEY’RE ONE FOR EVERY TEN ON THIRD DOWN. SECOND AND SIX. ROBINSON — OH, WHAT A SIDESTEP! THAT IS JUST A NASTY CUT BY BIJAN ROBINSON TO SET UP A THIRD DOWN AND MANAGEABLE. HE GOT A FACE FULL OF HIM. >> Brady: HE THOUGHT THAT. JUST THE START AND STOP ABILITY OF BIJAN ROBINSON AND THE JUMP PAST HIM. I MEAN, HE TURNS WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A NEGATIVE PLAY, SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NEGATIVE PLAY INTO NOW A THIRD AND SHORT SCENARIO. AGAIN, EVEN A FOUR DOWN TERRITORY IF THEY DON’T GET THIS. >> Jason: SO 29th IN THE NFL AS WE TALKED ABOUT. THIRD AND LONG HAS BEEN A MESS. THEY’RE 16% OF THIRD AND SEVEN PLUS. SO THAT EXTRA COUPLE OF YARDS YOU TALKED ABOUT IS SO IMPORTANT AND THAT WAS NOT WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. >> NUMBER 63, FIVE-YARD PENALTY, THIRD DOWN. >> Jason: I THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE ONE OF THOSE CALLS FROM CLAY MARTIN THAT THERE ARE RIPS OF ON YOUTUBE THAT SAY FALSE START EVERYONE BUT THE CENTER. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Brady: IN THAT CASE, UNFORTUNATELY, CHRIS LINDSTROM ENDS UP BEING THE ONE CALLED FOR, BUT GOING BACK TO THE STRUGGLES, THESE ARE THE SORTS OF THINGS THAT ADD UP. PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN THEIR STRUGGLE? THE THIRD DOWN HAS BEEN DECENT. THERE HAVE BEEN DROPS AND LACK OF PROTECTION. THERE’S BEEN POOR PLAY AND PENIX DELIVERING. >> Jason: NOW YOU’RE IN ONE OF THOSE THIRD AND LONG SITUATIONS AND IT COMPLETELY CHANGES THE PLAYBOOK AS LONDON IS IN MOTION AND WITH A SOFT OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT OF HIM, HE ENDS UP GETTING THE FIRST DOWN TO THE 37. HE TOOK A BIG HIT FROM SHERRILL AND ROZEBOOM, BUT SOUTH CAROLINA AS HE PLAYS AS EVERYONE IN THE LEAGUE. >> Brady: YOU HAVE TO RESPECT MOONEY WHO HAS BALLS IN THE DEEPER ZONE COVERAGE, BUT MAN, HIS LEG GOT BENT UP THERE. HE’S DEALING WITH BACK ISSUES THIS WEEK. ROZEBOOM JUST WRAPPED THAT RIGHT LEG. >> Jason: YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO WITH LONDON BACK. WE GET A WHISTLE BEFORE THE SNAP. IT WILL BE A TIME OUT, ATLANTA. AT 2:06. >> Brady: IT’S GETTING A LITTLE CHIPPY DOWN THERE. DAVID SILLS AND MIKE JACKSON WERE PROBABLY EXCHANGING ADDRESSES FOR THANKSGIVING FOR THE HOLIDAYS. >> Jason: DO YOU THINK THAT’S WHAT IT IS? >> ATLANTA CALLS THEIR FIRST TIME OUT. 30 SECONDS. >> Jason: YEAH. THE ANNOUNCEMENT ITHANKS, JASON. >> Jason: WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN STORE? >> Brady: PROBABLY A THREE-PIECE SUIT. >> Jason: I MEANT CONTENT WISE. >> Brady: FOOTBALL. AFTER THAT TACKLE THINGS GOT A BIT HEATED AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY SILLS AND MIKE JACKSON WERE HAVING SOME WORDS. >> Jason: EVERYTHING SETTLES DOWN IN THE DIVISIONAL MATCHUP AND PENIX WITH THE PLAY ACTION AND HE’LL SPIN IT WIDE FOR LONDON AND THAT’S WAY TOO TALL. IT WILL HAUL THAT IN THERE AND THERE IS A MARKER DOWN AT THE 23 AND DID HE GET CAUGHT UP IN THE WORKS? JAY THAT’S >> Brady: THAT’S A THROW, BY THE WAY, IF YOU’RE PENIX AND HIT. >> HANDS TO THE FACE. DEFENSE NUMBER 7. FIVE YARD PENALTY. >> Brady: FORTUNATELY, YOU GOT BAILED OUT IF YOU’RE A FALCONS FAN AS WE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. THEY’RE JUST GOING TO GRAB AND THIS IS — AGAIN, THERE’S FIGHTING AFTER THE WHISTLE AND FIGHTING FIGHTING DURING THE WHISTLE AND THAT’S WHEN YOU WONDER THE TACKLES AND SILLS AND MIKE JACKSON, THINGS ARE HEATED WITH DIVISIONAL OPPONENTS. BOTH OF THESE TEAMS KNOW WHAT’S ON THE LINE AND NEITHER CAN AFFORD TO LOSE GIVEN THE CAN’T RECORD. >> CAROLINA SECOND PLACE IN THE NFC SOUTH AND THERE GOES ROBINSON BEFORE THE TWO-MINUTE >> IF THERE WAS ONE PLAYER IN THE NORTH CAROLINA DEFENSE, WATCH THE DOUBLE TEAM FROM NEUZIL AND LINDSTROM. INSTEAD, JUST CONTINUE TO KEEP PUSHING ON BIJAN TO FIND THE CUTBACK. BUT HE’S ALWAYS GETTING DOUBLE TEAMED ESPECIALLY AS WELL AS HE’S PLAYED AND THE TACKLES WITH A TACKLING MACHINE. >> Jason: AND BATTING PASSES AS WELL AT THE LINE. HIS HANDS ARE GREAT. HE TOLD US EARLIER THIS WEEK HIS FIRST JERSEY EVER WAS A MIKE VICK JERSEY. >> Brady: THEY TOLD US TO NOT LET THAT GET OUT. YOU’RE IN TROUBLE WITH DERRICK BROWN. >> Jason: OH, BOY. I HATE TO SEE IT. SECOND DOWN AND TWO. I MISSED THAT PART OF THE CONVERSATION. PENIX TO THROW AND LONDON SOMEHOW REELS IT IN WITH A MARKER FLYING AS WELL! >> Brady: JUST INCREDIBLE. THEY’RE GOING TO GET COREY THORNTON ON WHAT LOOKED TO BE HOLDING P.I., BUT THE FACT THAT THIS BALL GETS OUT OF MICHAEL PENIX’S HANDS. >> HOLDING, DEFENSE NUMBER 31. THE PENALTIES DECLINED AND THE FIRST DOWN. >> Jason: REMEMBER, THAT’S THE ROOKIE WHO IS IN KERSHAW SMITH AT THAT NICKEL POSITION. >> Brady: INCREDIBLE CONCENTRATION. STRONG HANDS AND TAKING A HIT AS HE’S GOING TO THE GROUND COMPLETING POSSESSION OF THE FOOTBALL. >> Jason: SO THORNTON WILL COME OUT AND THE GOAL LINE HERE FOR ATLANTA. WE’LL SEE WHAT THE SUB LOOKED LIKE AND CONVERSATION ABOUT WHO SHOULD BE ON THE FIELD. SO THEY’RE GOING TO SPLIT ROBINSON OUT WIDE. >> Jason: PENIX, FIRST DOWN ROLL. GOING TO HIS RIGHT AND THE LEFT. HE HAS TO FADE BACK AND TOSS IT OUT OF BOUNDS AND IT WILL BE SECOND AND GOAL. ROBINSON AND WHARTON PROVIDED THE PRESSURE AS WELL. >> BEFORE THE PASS WAS THROWN, HOLDING, DEFENSE NUMBER 8. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. >> Jason: THIS IS THE SECOND LEAST PENALIZED DEFENSE IN THE NFL COMING INTO TODAY, CAROLINA. >> Brady: A LOT OF LAUNDRY SO FAR IN THE FIRST HALF. THE LAST PLAY AND CHARLIE IN THE BACKFIELD, THE TIGHT END, YOU FIGURE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A RUN. LONDON AGAINST WARREN. I’LL BE HONEST, I’VE SEEN WORSE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jason: YEAH, THAT WAS — WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE GOAL LINE? ALLGEIER, THE TAIL BACK. ALLGEIER SEEKING THE END ZONE AND HE BOWLING BALLS IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN! ROBINSON HAS TWO, ALLGEIER HAS ONE! ♪♪ ♪ >> Brady: THIS IS SAY FIRED-UP FOOTBALL TEAM KNOWING THEY COULD HAVE HAD A WIN LAST WEEK IN BERLIN. THEY LET THAT GAME GET AWAY AND THEY’RE TAKING TODAY’S GAME SO FAR. THE PHYSICALITY OF THE RUSHING ATTACK AND BIJAN ROBINSON AND TYLER ALLGEIER AND THE ENTIRE OFFENSIVE LINE AND THE PUSH THEY’RE GETTING ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND THEY’VE GOT ONE MAN TO BEAT. ALLGEIER HAS RUN THROUGH THE TACKLE AT THE END OF DERRICK BROWN. 21-7 AND SOME HOPE FOR THE FALCONS TEAM AND IT FELT LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE WON AGAINST THE COLTS LAST WEEK. >> Brady: RAHEEM MORRIS SAID WEIR CLOSE AND WE’VE BEEN AGAINST SOME OF THE BEST TEAMS AND THERE WAS A WAY TO FINISH SOME OF THESE YOU AT THE HALF. >> Jason: OF INTEREST TO BOTH OF THESE TEAM, THE BILLS AND BUCS. TAMPA BAY AT THE TOP OF THE NFC SOUTH BY A GAIN AND A HALF AGAINST CAROLINA. 9 FOR 11 FOR BRYCE YOUNG AND 84 YARDS AND YOU’LL HAVE TO THROW IT HERE. YOU WOULD IMAGINE, THREE TIME OUTS AND 1:35. YOUNG DOWN THE MIDDLE. McMILLIN, GREAT CATCH IN THE SPACE, TETAIROA McMILLIN AND THE ROOKIE OUT OF ARIZONA, A LONG STRIDE TO THE 30 YARD LINE. >> Brady: THIS IS WHAT THE CAROLINA PANTHERS OFFENSE NEEDED. SOME SPARKS AND PLAY DOWN THE FIELD. YOU SEE THE BIG PLAY ACTION SUCKS UP EVERYONE IN THE SECOND LEVEL. THERE’S THAT WINDOW AND McMILLAN DOES IT SO GOOD AND TALKING TO THE DEFENSIVE STAFF HERE IN ATLANTA. HE’S WARRANTED THE RESPECT AND THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN HE’S ACCOMPLISHED ENOUGH AS A ROOKIE. >> Jason: THAT’S A 39-YARD CATCH. SO FLUID IN THE OPEN FIELD. McMILLAN, FIRST DOWN, CAROLINA WILL SEE HUBBARD THIS TIME AND TUA HUBBARD. >> Brady: BRYCE YOUNG TELLS THE TEAM IN THE HUD DLE TO TAKE THER TIME AND THE ANKLE INJURY, BRYCE YOUNG IS WALKING GINGERLY ON IT. YOU GO BACK OVER THE PREVIOUS TWO TEAMS AND HAD A RUSHING TOUCHDOWN AND THEY SCRAMBLE AND CREATE PLAYS AND THIS IS THE AREA WHERE BRYCE BECOMES DANGEROUS IN THAT WAY. I WONDER HOW THE INJURY AND HOW EFFECTIVE HE CAN BE WHEN TAKING OFF. >> Jason: WE HAVEN’T SEEN IT SINCE THEN. FLIP IT OUT TO HUBBARD ON THE CATCH ASK RUN. TUA HUBBARD USHERED OFF BY JESSIE BATES. >> Brady: A.J. TIRRELL AND ALLOWING CHUBA HUBBARD TO BE OPEN IN SPACE. >> Jason: AND RICO DOWDLE SHOWS UP AND HAS TWO WEEKS WITH CHUBA HUBBARD OUT AND HE HAS CARRIES AND NOW HUBBARD ON THIS BIG DRIVE FOR CAROLINA BEFORE THE END OF THE HALF AND THE PANTHERS, REMEMBER, YOU SEE THE BALL FIRST AFTER HALFTIME. HUBBARD AGAIN, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE AND DIRECTLY INTO BATES AND THAT WAS A BULL’S-EYE OF OF A HIT AND THE TIME OUT CALLED BY CAROLINA AND THEY’LL HAVE >> Jason: 37 SECONDS TO GO FOR BRIENS YOUNG IN THE FIRST HALF. >> Brady: TWO TIME OUTS AND THE ENTIRE PLAYBOOK IS HERE. UTILIZE THE SECOND TIME OUT. YOU CAN CATCH DEFENSE AND RUNNING PASS COVERAGE HERE WITH THE RIGHT BOX. >> Jason: YOUNG FOR HUBBARD AND A DRIVE. NEARLY ON THE PINBALL. BILLY BOWMAN HAD A CHANCE TO GET HIS MITTS ON HIM. >> Brady: THE FALCONS TRYING TO RETURN THE FAVOR FROM THEIR EARLIER BACK, THE PICK SIX IN THAT ONE. >> Jason: THAT WAS A SHORTER FIELD IN FRONT OF HIM FROM 11 YARD AWAY, AND BOWMAN SAID MAN. >> Brady: I KNOW IF HE PICKS THAT ONE UP. THIS IS THE SITUATION. YOU HAVE TO THINK THAT TETAIROA McMILLAN WILL BE TARGETED. >> Jason: HE’S IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FORMATION CLOSEST TO THE FORMATIONS RIGHT THERE. HE’S GOT TIRRELL OVER TOP OF HIM. YOUNG, END ZONE, INCOMPLETE. HE WANTED McMILLAN. INSTEAD, SCORED DOWN JI . >> Brady: TIGHT WINDOW AND THEY’RE ALL IN THE END ZONE AND HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AND COULDN’T QUITE GET IT UP. XAVIER WATTS, THE ROOKIE OUT OF NOTRE DAME, TOO, BARRELING DOWN. MOOEZ BEEN SUCH A GOOD PLAYER AND GETS A HAND ON IT FOR THE FALCONS. IF YOU HUT HIM AND JESSE BATES AND IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW HE’D WATCH AS A ROOKIE, AND HE LOOKS LIKE A VETERAN OUT THERE. >> Jason: A COUPLE OF INTERCEPTION HIS FIRST FOUR WEEKS AS FITZGERALD KNOCKS IT THROUGH AND CAROLINAMICHAEL PEN EFFECTIVE IT WAS IN THE DEEP SHOT CATEGORY IN COLLEGE. SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH 25 SECONDS. PART OF IT WILL BE DECIDED BY THIS RETURN AND GERALD PICKS IT AWAY AND WITH THE RETURN NATURE BROOKS TO THE 29. 19 SECONDS TO GO IN THE FIRST HALF. YOU’RE UP 11 AND COMING UP ON THE VERIZON HALFTIME, THE FIRST HALF HIGHLIGHTS FROM HERE AND BEARS-VIKINGS, AS WELL. A BIG ONE IN THE NFC NORTH. CURT, HOWIE, MICHAEL AND CHARLES COMING UP. >> Brady: WITH TWO TIME OUTS PLENTY OF TIME TO ATTACK THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND TRYING TO GET IT. >> Jason: WHAT DO YOU LIKE? >> Brady: I LIKE DRAKE LONDON. YOU KIND OF WORKED YOUR WAY INTO SOME END CUT, DEEP DIG TO HALFTIME. >> Jason: THERE’S ROBINSON AND DOWN HE GOES AT THE 31. THAT WILL BE ALL. SO, WELL — >> Brady: THAT WAS DISAPPOINTING. >> Jason: WE’LL GET A TIME OUT HERE. >> TIME OUT BY THE FALCONS. THEIR SECOND. >> Jason: SO YOU RUN IT TO CALL TIME OUT. >> Brady: I DON’T GET IT. I DON’T. AGAIN, THAT’S A SCENARIO WHERE YOU’D LIKE TO TAKE A SHOT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. YOU DON’T GET IT, SO WHAT? NOT FOR THE REST OF THE HALF, BUT THEY THOUGHT THE RUN PLAY WOULD POP THE WAY THEY’RE BEEN RUNNING THE FOOTBALL IN THE FIRST HALF. >> Jason: ALL RIGHT. SEE WHAT THEY DO ON SECOND DOWN. AND WE GOT A WHISTLE BEFORE SECOND DOWN. >> TIME OUT, CAROLINA. >> Jason: CAROLINA’S GOING TO USE A TIME OUT. OKAY. >> Brady: WE TALKED ABOUT THE CAT AND MOUSE GAME BETWEEN THESE TWO STAFFS. VERY FAMILIAR WITH ONE ANOTHER AS DIVISIONAL OPPONENTS AND GOING BACK TO THEIR COACHING TREES AND SOMETIMES TIME IS SPENT WITH ONE ANOTHER. >> Jason: I DID NOT EXPECT BOTH TEAMS TO APPLY, THEY DON’T ROLL OVER, JASON. USE THEM IF YOU’VE GOT THEM. >> Jason: YOU CAN’T TRADE THEM IN FOR A TEDDY BEAR. IF YOU HAVE EXTRAS THEY’RE NOT LIKE TICKETS AT THE ARCADE. >> Brady: I HOPE THIS NEXT PLAY IS EXCITING. >> Jason: YOU AND A COUPLE MILLION PEOPLE WATCHING. IT’S A RUN! THEY GOT THE JERSEY. ROBINSON IS KNOCKED DOWN. HE BREAKS A TACKLE AND GETS TO THE OUTSIDE AND BR MICHAEL PENIX HAS BEEN VERY EFFICIENT AND MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN IN THE LAST TWO GAMES. >> Jason: HOW ABOUT CAROLINA, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SEE TO GET BACK OVER 500? >> Brady: THEY HAVE TO RUN THE FOOTBALL AND THAT’S BEEN TO ME, WHAT’S ALLOWED THIS OFFENSE TO BE ABLE TO CREATE BIG PLAYS OFF THE PLAY ACTION PASS. >> Jason: HUBBARD ON THE RETURN. GOOD FIELD POSITION COMING UP BY CAROLINA TO THE 23 BY CHUA HUBBARD AND DOWNSTAIRS TO SARAH KUSTOK. >> Sarah: COACH, I KNOW YOU ALWAYS EMPHASIZED STOPPING THE RUN GAME. >> IT REALLY STARTS WITH TACKLING. WE’VE GOT GUYS IN THE RIGHT SPOTS. WEEP HAVE TO GET BIJAN DOWN AND HE’S HAVING A GOOD HALF. EVERYONE HAS TO SLOW THAT PART DOWN SO WE CAN BALANCE THIS THING OUT OFFENSIVELY, JUST SOME FUNKY POSSESSIONS. WE HAD THE PENALTY AND IN THE HALF AND WE HAD TO SETTLE IN AND GET THE RUN GAME GOING AND MAKE SURE THEY SETTLED BACK. >> Jason: SARAH MOMENTS AGO WITH DAVE CANALES, THE HEAD COACH OF THE CAROLINA PANTHERS AND BRYCE YOUNG WITH COMPLETION SO FAR AND HE’LL IN OUT AND DOWDLE IS USHERED OUT BY JALON WALKER WITH A GAIN OF FOUR. >> Brady: THE DEFENSE WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR LAMBEAU, AND WE HAVEN’T SEEN BIG NUMBERS RECENTLY. NO, BIG PLAYS THAT SHOULD COME ALONG WITH THAT AND RIGHT THERE WITH THE PLAY ACTION SHOT DOWNFIELD TO McMILLAN WASN’T THERE AND WISELY, YOUNG CHECKS IT DOWN AND THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO THREATEN THE BACK END OF THIS FALCONS DEFENSE. >> Jason: GOOD PLAY FAKE, GOT IT AWAY AND IT’S COKER AND COKER WHO IS A MOTION MAN DIRECTLY INTO TIRRELL. HE STAYS STANDING. >> Brady: HE DELIVERS A HIT AT THE END OF THIS, HOWEVER, JUST SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN YARD MARKERS. TWO PLAYS IN A ROW NOW. THE CAROLINA PANTHERS TRYING TO PROTECT BRYCE YOUNG A BIT AND SOME WITH PROTECTION AND ALSO MOVE HIM OUTSIDE THE POCKET AND THE ANKLE INJURY FROM THE FIRST HALF AND I WONDER HOW HEALTHY HE IS, AND HOW MOBILE HE IS. >> Jason: GO ON TO CENTER HERE AND THIRD AND ONE AND TWO FOR SIX TODAY ON THIRD DOWN. STRAIGHT AHEAD. DOWDLE COLLAPSES FORWARD, AND HE DOES HAVE THE FIRST DOWN. HE AND HARRISON WERE JOUSTING THERE AND DOWDLE WINS BY A YARD. DO YOU EVER STOP AND THINK MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED LINEBACKER ON A PLAY LIKE THAT, BRADY? >> Brady: NO, NEVER. NEVER A TIME, BUT HARRISON HAS CON CONVERTED SAFETY AND SOME CALLED HIM BIG, TRANSFORMED AS A SAFETY. >> Jason: JIMMY INTO THE GAME AND HE’S BEEN SORT OF A GADGET PLAY GUY AND DOWDLE WITH A NICE PICKUP AND A BLITZ AND YOUNG GETS IT AWAY FOR COKER AND IT’S A FIRST DOWN. MAN, RICO DOWDLE MADE THAT HAPPEN. >> Brady: DOWDLE WITH THE PICKUP. IT’S A DOWN FIELD SHOT WE’VE BEEN ASKING FOR AND WHAT THE PANTHERS NEED. JIMMY HORN WENT THAT DIRECTION, TOO, BUT THIS THING IS DESIGNED FOR COKER. WE’RE GOING TO CROSS THE FIELD ON NATRONE BROOKS. THIS IS BROOKS’ FIRST START. MIKE HUGHES IS OUT. DEALFRED IS OUT WITH THE SECOND ROUND MISS. >> Jason: THAT FIRST START AS YOU SEE TREMBLE IN THE BACK FIELD AND ALONG WITH DOWDLE AT THE 36. IN THE POCKET FOR YOUNG. ANOTHER DEEP SHOT DOWN THE LEFT SIDE! HE DROPS IT AND BRILLIANT THROW FROM BRYCE YOUNG! ♪♪ ♪♪ >> Brady: AND WHAT A RESPONSE BY THE PANTHERS TO COME OUT ON THEIR OPENING DRIVE. THEY STARTED THE GAME THIS WAY. STARTING THE HALF THIS WAY. >> Jason: NATRONE BROOKS. >> Brady: HE GETS THIRD TOUCHDOWN RECEPTION OF THE SEASON FOR THE PANTHERS WOULD LOVE TO GET HIM GOING ALONG WITH McMILLAN. >> Jason: HE MAKES THE DEEP SHOTS, RIGHT? THE BALL IS IN THE AIR AND THE PANTHERS WERE IN THE LEAGUE AND WE DIDN’T SEE MUCH OF IT IN THE FIRST HALF AND THEY’RE GONE FOR TWO YEARS. TRYING TO GET A THREE-POINT GAME AND THEY’LL CHASE THE POINTS EARLY IN THE THIRD QUARTER. >> JLIGGETT AND IT’S IN PART BECAUSE FALCONS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT AT THE TIME ROADWAYA McMILLAN AND PEARCE WAS ABLE TO GET THE SACK ON BRYCE YOUNG WITH THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION. >> Jason: THE TWO EDGE RUSHERS THROWING TOGETHER IN THE DEFENSE. >> Brady: OH, A SCARY COMBINATION FOR QUARTERBACKS. . >> Jason:ED THE KICKOFF AND BROOKS DOWN ON THE GROUND, LET’S SEE. CAROLINA HAD THE FIRST CRACKAL IT AND THEY’LL UNPEEL THE PILE. IT IS PANTHERS FOOTBALL. CAROLINA AND UMANMIELEN COME AWAY WITH THE FOOTBALL. >> Brady: WHAT A MOMENTUM SWING AND YOU FEEL FOR BROOKS. A BAD SEQUENCE OF PLAYS AND HAD A HARD TIME GETTING THE KICKOFF INITIALLY AND LOOK HOW FAR THE BALL IS AWAY FROM HIS BODY. HE TRIES TO TUCK IT THERE, BUT — >> Jason: IT WAS MARTIN SCOTT WHEN RIPPED IT AWAY. THE ROOKIE OUT OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THE UNDRAFTED FREE AGENT WHO HAS BEEN A SPECIAL TEAMS MAVEN FOR CAROLINA. SPECIAL TEAMS, THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS FOR THE FALCONS. >> THE FUMBLE AND RECOVERY BY CAROLINA HAS BEEN CONFIRMED AND PLEASE SET THE GAME CLOCK TO 12:01 FOR UMANMIELEN AND CAROLINA. >> Brady: EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT. >> Jason: I THINK WE’RE ONLY WHAT? 40 SHOPPING DAYS? >> Brady: YOU THINK ABOUT CHRISTMAS BEFORE THOSE GUYS LIKE THANKSGIVING. >> Jason: I DON’T KNOW WHEN YOUR READ IS, BUT THAT’S A 180. FIRST DOWN, CAROLINA. TREMBLE IN MOTION AND IT’S YOUNG ROLLING TO THE RIGHT AND THROWING TO THE RIGHT AND HE GOES FOR LIGGETT WHO WARRANT TOUCHED TOUCHED DOWN INITIALLY AND XAVIER LIGGETT AND A COUPLE OF TARGETS IN A ROW. >> Brady: THE QUARTERBACK AND NUMBER 37 FOR NATRONE BROOKS AND THEY WILL PICK ON WHOEVER IS OPPOSITE AND THAT’S A.J. YOU’LL SEE A LOT OF ACTION ON THE OTHER SIDE. STANDING UP TO THE TASK AND IF NOT, RAY MORRISON’S STAFF AND THINK ABOUT GETTING SAFETY HELP ON THAT SIDE. >> Jason: THE MOTION FROM LIGGETT AND IT’S A TOSS AND IT’S DOWDLE. THERE’S A FLAG COMING IN AND DOWDLE ENDS UP WITH ABOUT A YARD, BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE IT’S GOING TO COME BACK. >> HOLDING. TEN-YARD PENALTY. >> Jason: IT’S COKER AND THE RECEIVER ON THE OUTSIDE. >> Brady: HE WAS WORKING ON THE EDGE. THE DEFENSE IS TRYING TO PROTECT THE EDGE. >> IT’S A TOUGH BLOCK FOR COKER TO MAKE. THAT’S A TALL TASK AND THE DEFENSIVE END WITH TODAY’S GAME. >> Jason: 6-2-2. SECOND AND 15 FOR CAROLINA. >> Brady: NOW YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO GET HALFBACK, PUT YOURSELF IN A DECENT THIRD DOWN POSITION AND STILL HOPING TO ADD YARDS TO A POTENTIAL FIELD GOAL. >> Jason: McMILLAN AND LIGGETT ON THE SAME SIDE ALONG WITH COKER UP TOP. >> Jason: OUT OF EMPTY, BRYCE YOUNG CLIMBING THE POCKET ON THAT ANKLE AND HE DRIVES IT UP OVER THE MIDDLE AS A WIDE OPEN LIGGETT WHO GRAZES THREE FOR THE FIRST DOWN AND MORE! >> Brady: IF YOU’RE A FALCONS FAN THIS IS FLASHES OF WHAT YOU SAW IN BERLIN LAST WEEK GIVEN UP ON THIRD AND LONG. TAKE A LOOK AT BRYSON. HE’S GOT THE RIGHT ANKLE TAPED UP AND YOU HAVE TO GET THE BALL TO LIGGETT. A NIFTY LITTLE PLAY, AND BRYCE YOUNG HAS MADE IT DURING THE COURSE. >> Jason: HE’S LIKE A BASKETBALL DISTRIBUTOR. ON THE TURNOVER AND TRYING TO TAKE THE LEAD AND DOWDLE A LITTLE HESITATION AND SLAMMED DOWN AT THE 13 AND THE SECOND DOWN FOR CAROLINA COMING UP AND THIS IS A QUICK LITTLE GAME FOR THE PANTHERS AND 5 AND 5 AND TAMPA BAY IS IN A REAL FIGHT FOR BUFFALO AND THERE’S A CHANCE TO PICK UP THE GAME TO CLOSE WITHIN TO A HALF GAME WITHIN THE NFC SOUTH FOR CAROLINA. THE REST OF THE NFC SOUTH. >> Jason: RIGHT BACK THERE, DOWDLE PUTS HIS HAND ON THE GROUND AND THEY’LL TAKE THEE AND FOUR YARDS, AND THEY’RE HELPING THE PANTHERS CLIMB UP. >> Jason: THEY HAD THE KNOCK-OUT PURCHASE ON ATLANTA LAST WEEK. THE FINAL WEEK OF THE REGULAR SEASON TO PUSH ATLANTA TO THE SECOND STRAIGHT LOSING SEASON AT 8 AND 9. THE FALCONS STILL HAVE SOME HOPE HERE. THEY LIKELY HAVE TO WIN TODAY. THIRD AND FOUR, CAROLINA. >> Jason: McMILLAN AND TIRRELL TOGETHER AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. TIRRELL BACKS OFF. YOUNG THROWS THIS WAY. HE’S GOT IT FOR THE TIGHT END, JA’TAVION SANDERS WHO STEPPED UP AND SHORT OF THE LINE TO GAIN AND NOW A DECISION FOR DAVE CANALES. >> Brady: SANDERS WITH COBEE BRYANT AND A POTENTIAL PUSHOFF HERE. WATCH THE TOP OF THIS. >> Jason: YEP. >> Brady: HARD TO TELL AS IT LEAVES THE SCREEN, THE TWO HANDS WILL DRAW OPI AND VERY FORTUNATE IT WASN’T THE CASE WITH JA’TAVION SANDERS. >> Jason: KOBEE BRYANT WHO SAID A COUPLE OF EARS AGO, HE’S GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER AT THAT, 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! >> Brady: WHAT A STOP! ALL THE MISDIRECTION AND EVERYTHING BEFORE THAT PLAY, ELLISS RAN >> Brady: CHECK OUT CADEN ELLISS ON THE FOURTH DOWN STOP. JUST AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF DIAGNOSING THE PLAY. LOOK AT HIM. INSPECTS THE RUNS AND STILL GETS TO THE OUTSIDE AND ABLE TO TACKLE YOUNG BEFORE HE STICKS. YOU WONDER, JASON, IF THAT ANKLE WAS HEALTHY HE WOULD MAKE IT THERE IN TIME. >> Jason: YEAH. THAT IS THE MARGIN HE’S PLAYING WITH RIGHT NOW AGAINST HIS DEFENSE AS ROBINSON GETS HIT AFTER NO GAME THERE. BY THE WAY, CADEN ELLISS, THE FORMER LOCKERMATE OF OUR NEW COLLEAGUE DREW BREES. >> Brady: DID NOT KNOW THAT. >> Jason: YEAH. CADEN TOLD US THIS WEEK. HE SAID I WAS THE LOCKERMATE OF DREW BREES BECAUSE I GOT COVID EARLY. THEY PUT ME NEXT TO DREW BREES BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE GUY THAT COULDN’T GIVE IT TO DREW BREES. >> Brady: I WONDER IF HE WAS RATE NEXT TO HIM OR A FEW LOCKERS DOWN THE ROAD. >> Jason: SECOND DOWN FOR ATLANTA. >> Brady: TOO LONG. >> Jason: WERE YOU A — >> Brady: I WAS A ONE LOCKER. >> Jason: A ONE-LOOKER GUY. PITTS, TARGETED TODAY AND IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN COMING UP. EVEN IN COLLEGE. >> Brady: NO. YOU WERE TWO LOCKERS IN COLLEGE. >> Jason: THREE LOCKER GUY. >> Brady: I DON’T WANT TO GET THAT REPUTATION IN THE LEAGUE. >> Jason: NEVER FAILED. THEY PUT UP YOUR NAME SO THE CREW DISTANCES THEMSELVES. THIRD DOWN FOR ATLANTA MOONEY IN MOTION AND GOT IT TO LANDON ANYWAY. NICE JOB BY MICHAEL PENIX, JR., FIRST DOWN FALCONS. >> Brady: THE SPOT WHERE DRAKE LONDON COULD RUN TO IT. EVEN THOUGH HE WAS UNDER DURESS AND IT WAS THE PERFECT POCKET AND THE SNAP WASN’T PERFECT, EITHER. THAT WAS HUGE FOR THE FALCONS AND YOU OBVIOUSLY HAD A BIG MOMENTUM CHANGE WITH THE ELLIS STOP ON FOURTH DOWN. NOW IT’S GETTING FIRST DOWNS AND GETTING SOME MOMENTUM BACK. >> Jason: DRAKE LONDON WHO HAS THE MOST GAMES WITH 100-PLUS YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN IN THE NFL AND HAS THE FIRST HALF OF IT HERE IN THE THIRD QUARTER. PLAY ACTION PASS. TURNS UPHILL, MICHAEL PENIX, JR. ON THE RUN, SHOWING THE WHEELS AND OUT OF BOUNDS AFTER 9 1/2. SCOURTON TOOK HIM TO THE PAINT AND WHAT ABOUT THAT DIRECTION FROM PENIX. >> Brady: THIS IS WHAT YOU HEARD HIM TALK ABOUT DURING THE WEEK. THEY’D LIKE TO SEE MICHAEL PENIX TAKE MORE. HE’S ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE ONCE HE GETS OUTSIDE OF THE POCKET AND MUCH MORE OF A DUAL THREAT QUARTERBACK. YOU WERE A POCKET PASSER. >> ANOTHER MARKER COMING IN FLYING IN. THIS WOULD BE THE FIFTH ACCEPTED PENALTY. >> AGAINST ATLANTA. LINDSTROM WAS A QUESTION MARK TO PLAY WITH A FOOT INJURY ON HIS OFFENSIVE LINE WITH HIS SECOND PENALTY. >> Brady: LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. YOU CAN SEE THAT RIGHT HAND UP IN THE COLLAR OF A’SHAWN ROBINSON. ROBINSON STILL PLAYING AT A REALLY HIGH LEVEL. >> Jason: HE GETS A LOT OF FLACK EVEN AT AGE 30 . >> Brady: THEY CALL HIM UNC IN THE LOCKER ROOM. >> Jason: ARE YOU ONLINE? SECOND DOWN AND 11. ROBINSON IN MOTION. ALLGEIER, THE TAILBACK AND PENIX, HE’LL SLING IT THIS WAY AND INCOMPLETE. MOONEY, IT’S THIRD DOWN COVERAGE FROM MIKE JACKSON AND THE FIFTH-IER MAN OUT OF MIAMI. >> Brady: LIKE JACKSON GOT ENOUGH IN THE WAY OF MOON OWE THIS PASS TO CATCH IT, BUT THIS IS A BALL THAT MOONEY’S GOT TO COME DOWN WITH. PLUS SOME OF THE STRUGGLES THROUGH THIS OFFENSE. PENIX TAKES A LOT OF FAULT AND MAYBE TOO MUCH FAULT AND HE’S HARD ON HIMSELF AND THEY’LL STEP UP. >> Jason: THE LATE SUBSTITUTION FOR CAROLINA. PENIX WITH TWO INCOMPLETIONS ALL DAY LONG AND HE’S 13 OF 15 AND SWITCH A COUPLE OF DEFENSE AND PENIX HAS TO SPIKE IT INTO THE GROUND AND LET’S SEE IF A MARKER COMES INTO THE HIT AND TRAYVON MERRICK WAS IN THERE AND IT IS FOURTH DOWN COMING UP AND PENIX SAW THE WALLS COLLAPSE VERY QUICKLY. >> Brady: HE’S GETTING UP GIMPY WITH THAT LEFT KNEE AND HE’S BEEN BATTLING THROUGH. >> Jason: PENIX IS TRYING TO GET OFF THE FIELD, BUT MERRICK HIT HIM HARD. PENIX STARTED TO WALK OFF AS HE DETAILED BRADY. BOTH QUARTERBACKS HAVE GONE DOWN IN THIS GAME. PENIX INJURED BEFORE FOURTH DOWN. >> Brady: I’LL GO BACK TO THE WEEK THREE OF MATCHUP TALKING AT MICHAEL HAD DINGED UP HIS KNEE THEN AND DIDN’T FEEL LIKE 100% OR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BACK. THIS OFFENSE NOT FINDING ENOUGH FLOW THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE SEASON AND STRUGGLING A BIT AND HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A FACTOR, AS WELL. HE’S GOT AN EXTENSIVE HISTORY DATING BACK TO HIS DAYS IN COLLEGE AND WALKING OFF THE FIELD. >> Jason: BUT HE IS WALKING OFF PRETTY SLOWLY. >> Brady: AND ALSO WITH THE TRAINER WITH THE BROWNS. >> Jason: IS THAT RIGHT? >> Brady: YEAH. >> Jason: PINION TO PUNT TO ETYEN AND CAROLINA HOPING FOR SOME GOOD FIELD POSITION AND MOVEMENT AT THE LINE AND IT’S FOURTH AND 11 AND NO FIRST DOWN AVAILABLE, BUT I’LL SEE FIVE EXTRA YARDS TO WORK WITH FOR PINION. >> NEUTRAL ZONE INFRACTION. DEFENSE NUMBER 33. FIVE YARD PENALTY REMAINS FIRST DOWN. >> Jason: CAROLINA CAME INTO TODAY WITH ONLY FOUR OFFSIDE OR NEUTRAL ZONE INFRACTION PENALTIES ALL YEAR AND THEN THEY GET ONE ON PUNT RETURN. >> Brady: E EC WAN YOU TRYING T FIND HIS WAY AND SPECIAL TEAM BUILDING. >> Jason: FORMER DALLAS COWBOY AS PINION PULLS IT AWAY AND A . A BFL LOOK AT THIS VENUE FROM OUR DIRECTOR WHO CELEBRATED A BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY, BRIAN BEADERMAN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BRIAN. >> Brady: I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS. >> Jason: YOU MISSED THE CAKE AND THE CELEBRATION. CAROLINA LEADS THE CHARGE HERE. GOOD NEWS FOR THE PANTHERS AND THIS PASS GAME. ETIENNE IN MOTION AND THE BACK FIELD AND HARRISON PUNTS THEM DOWN. SECOND DOWN COMING UP, BUT FIRST, CHARISSA WITH A GAME BREAK. >> THANK YOU, JASON. BILLS-BUCS FINDS THE END ZONE FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THIS ONE FROM SIX YARDS OUT AND LEADS THIS ONE BY FIVE . JASON? >> Jason: THANK YOU, CHARISSA. THAT IS THE HIGHEST SCORE SO FAR AND WE’RE BEHIND. 21-16 AND MAYBE MORE OFFENSIVE THAN EXPECTED WITH ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO GO. A LITTLE SNAP AND YOUNG FOR DOWDLE AND TURNED AND BURNED AND DOWNFIELD DOWDLE STEPS OUT OF BOUNDS AND IT’S THE FIRST DOWN, BUT MAN, THE GAS PEDAL HARD TO THE FLOOR. >> Brady: ARE THEY ARE OUTSIDE JAMES PIERCE AND TRYING TO KEEP CONTAINED. THESE ARE EASY COMPLETIONS IN PLACE THAT BRYCE YOUNG HAS BEEN MAKING. TAKING CARE OF THE FOOTBALL AND WORKING THROUGH THE PROGRESSION AND TRYING TO FIND A THIRD AND FOURTH OPTION. >> Jason: RICO DOWDLE WITH A QUAD ISSUE EARLIER IN THE WEEK AND EVERYBODY IN ATLANTA, BLACK WAS COMING AND BILLY BOWMAN HAS LIVED IN THE PANTHERS’ OFFENSIVE BACK FIELD. >> Brady: HE’S A PLAYER. IF THERE’S A GUY WHO POPS ON FILM IT’S NUMBER 33. HE HAS A NATURAL KNACK FOR DIAGNOSING SCREENS AND PLAY ACTION RUN PLAYS AND FINDS HIS WAY TO THE FOOTBALL. >> Jason: HE HAS PRETTY GOOD HAND, TOO. HE HAS 11 PICKS AT HIS TIME IN OKLAHOMA AND HE HAD THE FIRST TURNOVER FOR THE FALCONS DEFENSE THIS WEEK IN TWO. SECOND DOWN, GIVE IT TO HUBBARD AND HE KNIVES THROUGH TO THE 46 AND THIRD DOWN AND FOUR COMING UP FOR CAROLINA AND THE PANTHERS, SO FAR, 3 FOR 8 ON THIRD DOWN TODAY. >> Jason: A BIG MOMENT FOR BRYCE YOUNG WHO WENT OUT EARLY AND LOOKED LIKE HE WOULD MISS A SERIES AND CAME JOGGING OUT OF THE TUNNEL AND PUT HIS HELMET BACK ON AND HE’S GOT A THIRD DOWN AND FOUR STARING AT HIM AND HUBBARD AND ETIENNE TOGETHER IN THE BACKFIELD. ETIENNE IN ORBIT AROUND ON MOTION ITSELF AND THIS THROW TO THE FAR SIDE AND McMILLAN COMING BACK FOR IT AND A CAROLINA FIRST DOWN. IT’S A GAIN OF NINE. THEY HAD TO HAVE FOUR. >> Brady: THE TIMING, THE CONNECTION AND REALLY THE BALL PLACEMENT BY BRYCE YOUNG HERE. IT’S JUST THE SPOT WHERE A.J. TIRRELL CAN’T GET TO IT AND HE’S JUST A ROOKIE AND TALK ABOUT THE STRIKES. THE ROUTE ROUNDING IS MORE LIKE A VETERAN. >> Jason: THEY BRING IN EVANS AND TRIMBLE, A COUPLE OF TIGHT ENDS. YOUNG, SETS, FIRES. HE’S GOT IT TO EVANS WHO JUST CAME IN AS AN EXTRA TIGHT END DOWN TO THE 20 YARD LINE. >> Brady: YOU BRING IN THREE TIGHT ENDS AND EVERYONE THINKS YOU’RE TRYING TO RUN THE FOOTBALL ON FIRST DOWN AND MEANWHILE, YOU THROW TO A GUY, AT LEAST TO GET THE BALL, THE ROOKIE OUT OF NOTRE DAME AND MITCHELL EVANS AND THE BIG TARGET AT 6’5″, AND ALMOST 260 POUNDS. >> Jason: WE SAW PART OF THE PASS GAME IN THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF LAST YEAR AND A HANDFUL OF CATCHES AND TO MENTION FOR THE PACKERS AND DOWDLE THIS TIME RUNNING RIGHT. DOWDLE ACROSS THE 20 YARD LINE AND MAN, OH, MAN, DAMION LEWIS. A BIG HIT AND HE WAS DOWN AND NOT A FUMBLE AND DOWDLE WAS DOWN, BUT DAMION LEWIS JUST ABSOLUTELY PULVARIZED AN ONCOMING FALCON. >> Brady: THAT’S EVERY BIT OF 6’2″, 330. >> Jason: THAT WAS MILD. >> Brady: THEY WERE RUNNING OUT AND PULLING GUARDS AT THE GUY. >> Jason: LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST AS THE KIDS USED TO SAY. >> Brady: THEY’VE ONLY GOT 150 POUNDS ON HIM J . >> Jason: BEST OF LUCK. TRIMBLE PAID THE PRICE AND SLID IN. IT’S THIRD DOWN COMING UP AND TRIMBLE WAS LIVING WITH THE DROP AND THEN BATES CRACKED IT. >> Brady: TRIMBLE IS LUCKY HE DIDN’T GET INJURED AND THIS PLAY WAS REALLY OVER. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS DAMAGE. >> Jason: TREMBLE OUT, EVANS OUT AND THREE WIDE UP TOP AND LEGETTE, COKER AND McMILLAN. >> Brady: THE MATCHUP THAT PANTHSERS PANTHERS HAVE BEEN WORKING AND MAN TO MAN COVERAGE. >> Jason: SLIGHT MOTION FROM McMILLAN, DOWN THE FIELD AND TUCKED AND INCOMPLETE AND LEGETTE, TIRRELL GOT THE HAND UP TO KNOCK IT AWAY AND WHAT A PLAY BY A.J. TIRRELL. >> Brady: THAT’S JUST THE ELEVATION AND THE ROUTE IS THERE AND RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE END ZONE. LOOK AT THESE HOPS. >> Jason: FLICKED IT AWAY. A.J. TIRRELL. HERE IS FITZGERALD FROM 34KNEE G ON THE BENCH WITH A TOWEL ON HIS HEAD AND HAD A QUICK CONVERSATION WITH KIRK COUSINS WHO IS ON THE SIDELINES AND IT APPEARS COUSINS WILL BE THE QUARTERBACK AND ATLANTA RECEIVES POSSESSION. >> Jason: SARAH, THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT IS TOUGH NEWS FOR THE FALCONS WHO MOVED THE BALL TODAY. BROOKS ON THE RETURN AND GETS TRIPPED UP AND SLID DOWN. FIRST DOWN FOR ATLANTA AND HERE COMES KIRK COUSINS IN NUMBER 167 OF HIS CAREER IN THE NFL AND A MIXED REACTION FROM THE LOCALS. >> Brady: WEEK EIGHT VERSUS MIAMI AND GOT THE RESULT THEY WERE HOPING FOR IN THAT ONE. THAT’S WHAT CHANGED WITH KIRK COUSINS THERE. HE DIDN’T GET THE BALL IN HIS HAND QUICK AND STAYING IN THE POCKET AND HE RUNS LIKE PENIX EARLIER ON FIRST DOWN. AND MOST LIKELY MORE UNDER CENTER AS WELL. >> Jason: WITH PENIX IN THERE, IT’S A STRETCH PLAY AND IT’S ALLGEIER. HOW DOES CAROLINA COUNTER, BRADY? IS THAT IN THE BOX OR IS THAT THE OPINION OF THE CAROLINA DEFENSE? >> Brady: YOU WANT TO STOP THE RUN. YOU WANT TO LOAD UP THE BOX AND STOP THE RUN. COMING OFF THE BENCH, HE’S A 14-YEAR VET, SO HE’S PREPARED FOR IT, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS OFF THAT ACHILLES HE SUFFERED IS HIS ABILITY TO GET OUT TO THE HANDOFF. YOU SAW THAT LAST PLAY. GETTING UP THERE IN AGE AND LABORING A BIT. >> Jason: SO THIS TIME THEY WORKED OUT OF THE PISTOL AFTER CENTER ON THE FIRST PLAY AND IT’S ALLGEIER THIS TIME AND HE DYNAMIC OF THE OFFENSE A BIT. THIS IS AN EXPERIENCED CUT. IT’S HARD. >> Jason: GET THOSE LEGS MOVING. KIRK COUSINS RAPPING ON THE DOOR OF 40, FIRST DOWN. >> Brady: HE’S A QUARTERBACK. IT WAS A THING. BEFORE THE WHOLE TUSH PUSH, THEY WOULD TAKE IT THEMSELVES AND THAT’S STILL IN THE PLAYBOOK. >> Jason: YOU JUST DATED YOURSELF. >> Brady: THAT’S FINE. THEY SWEEP THE BALL. >> Jason: HE DID, VERY SUCCESSFULLY. THREE RUNS SO FAR WITH COUSINS IN THE GAME. FIRST PASS. COUSINS FOR ALLGEIER AND MERRICK MEETS HIM HARD. >> Brady: LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT HIT FROM MERRICK. A TACKLE AND ALLGEIER’S TOUGH TO TAKE DOWN. ONE OF THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCES THAT YOU WILL SEE IS THE DOWNFIELD PASSING GAME AND PENIX HAS SUCH A STRONG ARM AND COUSINS WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE GETTING DOWN FIELD. J >> Jason: YOU HAVE A QUARTER TO PLAY WITH. YOU HAVE THE LEAD. COUSINS, SHORT SET, GOT IT AWAY AND THAT’S THE TIGHT END RIGHT AT THE STICK. IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BE A QUARTER OF A YARD SHORT. >> Brady: IT’S A SIMPLE SLANT ROUTE. FIND THE SOFT SPOT AND ZONE COVERAGE AND CONTINUING TO DEVELOP STILL AS A PASS CATCHER WITH THE VARIETY OF ROUTES HE CAN RUN, BUT BOY, HE’S SPECIAL. YOU SEE HIM ON THE FIELD BEFORE THE GAME AND CATCH LIKE THAT. >> Jason: THE PRO BOWL IS SO YOUNG, RIGHT? THE CEILING KEEPS MOVING UP FOR TYLER PITTS. TAKE IT AGAIN. NO. THEY’LL HAND IT OFF AND INSTEAD THAT’S GOING NOWHERE AND ROZEBOOM GOT IN THERE FIRST. BIJAN ROBINSON RARELY LOSES YARDS LIKE THAT. CAROLINA HOLDS THE LINE. >> Brady: LOOK AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE AND THE INITIAL PUSH AND IT’S STYMIED AT BEST AND THEY HAVE THREE RUNNERS TO THE BACK FIELD AND ROBINSON HAD NO CHANCE. >> Jason: THIS YEAR, PANTHER CHRISTIAN ROZEBOOM WHO HAS HAD A WHALE OF A SEASON LEADING THIS TEAM IN TACKLES IN THE FIRST MEETING AGAINST ATLANTA AND THE FIRST CAROLINA WIN. PINION TO ETIENNE. STARTING TO INTRODUCE SOME OTHER PIECES INTO THIS PASS GAME. >> Jason: CAROLINA FROM THE 16. HE WILL CHECK AND HE WILL THROW. YOUNG, THIS WAY, WIDE OPEN. McMILLIN AGAIN AND THE HURDLE AND HE’S KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS BY NATRONE BROOKS. >> Brady: YES. THEY’RE NOT GOING TO TROUBLE A.J. TIRRELL AND THEY’LL THROW TO McMILLAN EVERY SINGLE TIME. IT’S THE SECOND TIME THEY’VE RUN THIS ROUTE AND IT IS THE END CUT THAT SELLS IT TO SWITCH THE HITS FROM BROOKS TO THROW THE FOOTBALL TO ON THE OUTSIDE FOR THE BIG GAME. >> Jason: OVER 1 HUN 00 YARDS A FOR TETAIROA McMILLAN.CONFERENCY IN THE YEAR IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL. YOU’LL LOVE THE ANALYSTS FROM THE ARIZONA-UCONN GAME. >> Brady: I LOVE RAF. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME ON SUNDAY. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jason: SECOND DOWN. YOUNG, SHORT SET AGAIN AND THAT WAS INTO TROUBLE AND THAT IS LEGETTE. THE BALL IS ON THE GROUND AND IT LOOKED LIKE AN INCOMPLETE PASS AND HARRISON DOWN THE SIDELINE. HARRISON WANTS TO SCORE! HE’S IN. LET’S SEE. >> Brady: YEAH. THIS IS — I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS PLAYS ON. >> Jason: INCOMPLETE PASS. IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN. I DIDN’T HEAR A WHISTLE, THOUGH, DID YOU? . NO, IT WAS VERY APPARENT, LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AND NATRONE BROOKS AND LEGETTE NEEDS TO DO A BETTER JOB OF SHIELDING BROOKS FROM MAKING THE PLAY, BUT — IT’S EITHER INCOMPLETE. >> Jason: OR HE’S DOWN. >> Brady: YEAH. >> Jason: IT’S DEFINITELY NOT A TOUCHDOWN. >> Brady: IT’S NOT GOING THE OTHER WAY FOR A TOUCHDOWN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG TO FIGURE THAT OUT. DEAN DID CONFIRM IT’S INCOMPLETE. >> Jason: THANK YOU, DEAN. >> Brady: HE LOOKS LIKE THESE TAKING CREATINE THESE DAYS. HE’S JACKED UP. >> Jason: THIRD AND SEVEN FOR CAROLINA. >> 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! >> Brady: HARRISON FINISHING IT AND THEY HAD A SHOT AND THEY’RE BRINGING A PRESSURE. HE KNEW WHAT HE HAD. I DON’T KNOW WHY HE KEEPS THE BASKETBALL. >> Jason: WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME LEFT AND HE’S NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXECUTE AND RESPONSE TO THAT PRESSURE. >> Jason: THE PLAY HE GOT HURT ON IN THE FIRST HALF WAS ONE OF THOSE PLAYS AS THIS BALL ENDS UP INSIDE THE 20. SO SAM MARTIN WITH THE FALCONS WITH TWO AGAINST BRYCE YOUNG AND THE HASN’T TOUCHED THE BALL. >> Jason: KIRK COUSINS IN. MICHAEL PENIX, JR., OUT. SARAH KUSTOK REPORTING A KNEE INJURY, QUESTIONABLE TO RETURN. >> Jason: IT IS THE THIRD TOUCH IN THE SECOND HALF FOR ROBINSON AND HE FINDS HIS WAY TO THE THIRD LEVEL AGAIN. TWO TOUCHDOWNS EARLY AND ATLANTA HAD THREE OF THE FOUR DRIVES AND NOTHING SINCE. >> Brady: THE FIRST DRIVE AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN THEY WERE ABLE TO SCORE IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE TOUGH RUNNING BY BIJAN ROBINSON AND THE PLAY MAKING ABILITY AND THIS YOUNG MAN IS SPECIAL. WE’LL MAKE THAT UNBLOCK DEFENDER. >> Jason: THE TOSS TO HIM HERE AND HE IS DROPPED. HE’S PLAYING LIKE HIS HAIR IS ON FIRE. AND IT’S A BIT OF OF A STRUGGLE >> Brady: BIJAN WILL RUN AND I THOUGHT PITTS DID ENOUGH TO GET A PIECE OF SPORTS — OH, MAN, THEY’VE REALLY GOT SOMETHING. >> Jason: THE TACKLE FOR LOSS LEADER IN THE SEC FOR TEXAS A & M AND A LOSS OF FIVE AND FORCING THIS INTO A THROW FOR COUSINS LIKELY. THIRD AND EIGHT. COUSINS DOWN THE MIDDLE AND LONDON COULD NOT BRING IT IN. THERE IS A FLAG COMING IN, TWO OF THEM, AT THE 30 YARD LINE AND CAROLINA CAN’T BELIEVE IT. WHEN HORN GOT EYES ON THE MARKER. HE WAS, LIKE, WHAT IN THE WORLD? >> PASS INTERFERENCE. DEFENSE NUMBER 8. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. >> Jason: HUGE. >> Brady: THE DROP FROM LONDON AND THAT WAS A GOOD BALL BY COUSINS AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE MATCHUP IN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN. COUSINS RIGHT INTO QUARTERBACK AND THE BALL COMES UP A DIFFERENT SIDE ESPECIALLY THE ROUTES WHERE YOU HAVE TIGHT TIMING, DIFFERENT SPIN AND THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE LEFTY. A LITTLE THING, BUT IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR PASS CATCHERS. >> Jason: I ASK YOU AFTER THE PLAY HERE AND FIRST DOWN FOR ATLANTA AND IT’S COUSINS THROWING TO ROBINSON. BIJAN ROBINSON DOWN THE SIDELINE. WHAT CAN THE RECEIVERS DO TO ADJUST THE GAME? >> Brady: IT’S INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT. FORTUNATELY, THEY SEE A DECENT AMOUNT EVEN THOUGH THE STARTERS WILL GET THE BULK OF THE REPS AND IN THE NFL IT’S ALL ABOUT ANTICIPATING AND THE QUARTERBACKS WILL GET IT OUT OF THE SPOT AND YOU’RE ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING IT COMING OUT OF ONE SIDE FROM THE QUARTERBACK AND IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT. >> Jason: THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE QUICK TO THE LINE TO MAKE IT TO THE CLOCK. WANTING TO CHECK IT DOWN AND IT WASN’T THERE AND HE SAILS IT OUT OF BOUNDS BECAUSE ROZEBOOM CAME TOWARD ROBINSON ON THE COVERAGE AND CLOSED OFF THE SWING PASS. >> Brady: YEAH. D.J. WON HIM WITH THE PRESSURE AND FORCING HIM TO THROW THE FOOTBALL AWAY AND NOT MUCH OUT OF THAT. >> Jason: LET’S CHECK IN WITH CHARISSA. >> AND JAMEIS WINSTON WITH THE QUARTERBACK AND TAKES IT RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE WITH THE GO-AHEAD GOAL AND GIANTS LEAD THIS ONE BY ONE WITH SEVEN MINUTES LEFT IN THE FOURTH. JASON? >> Jason: HOW ABOUT THAT? >> Brady: HOW ABOUT THAT? OUR OLD ASSOCIATE, RIGHT? AND THE SUPER BOWL WITH NEW ORLEANS LAST YEAR. >> Jason: YOU HAVE MANY ASSOCIATES. >> Brady: THANKS, JASON. >> Jason: YOU’RE WELCOME. SECOND DOWN, COUSINS TO THROW AGAIN AND BACK-TO-BACK THROWS AND THAT IS INCOMPLETE. LET’S SEE. COREY THORNTON THOUGHT IT WAS CLEAN. HE WAS ON TOP OF MOONEY AND THE TIMING MIST HAVE TIMING MUST HAVE BEEN PERFECT. >> Brady: IN PART BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE THEY FEEL LIKE HIS ABILITY AGAINST THE RUN AND YOU CAN SEE THE REACTION AS THEY SHOW THE REPLAY. HE’S HANGING ON AND GETS THERE A BIT EARLY AND TURNS THEM. USUALLY ALL INDICATORS SHOULD BE PASS INTERFERENCE. >> THAT IS DEFINITELY PASS INTERFERENCE. >> Jason: THEY’RE NOT SAYING MOONEY. INTERESTING, THE THROW LEADS ON THREE STRAIGHT THROWS AND THE PRESSURE ON THE BACK SIDE AND COUSINS GETS IT AWAY, INCOMPLETE AND THORNTON AWAY FROM MOONY AND IT’S FOURTH DOWN. >> Brady: THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE SCHEME HERE. THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR FOR THE PANTHERS AND COUSINS THINKS HE WOULD HAVE THE SEEM WIDE OPEN AND HE’S GRABBING THE BACK OF HIS LEG AND TRYING TO RUN BACK THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND THE ZONE UNDERNEATH AND JUST WANTING TO MAKE THE PLAY. >> Jason: CAROLINA GETS THE STOP. THEY WERE ALL ROTATING AROUND AND IT WAS A GREAT DISGUISE AND ROZEBOOM IS IN A TOUGH SPOT AND HAS A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER TO GET THAT DEEP. >> Jason: PINION TO PUNT. ANPUT IT IN HARM’S WAY. AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO HERE. YOU HAVE TO THINK THAT IT’S UNDER PRESSURE AT SOME POINT. >>. >> Jason: FIRST DOWN IS SO IMPORTANT WITH DOWDLE AND ALL OF THE WAY DOWN TO THE 13. TOUGHER TO BRING PRESSURE. SECOND AND SHORT, THIRD AND SHORT. >> Brady: CREATE SEAMS IN THE DEFENSE BY BRINGING PRESSURE ESPECIALLY THE WAY DOWDLE CAN EXPLODE AT THE LINE. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> Jason: TIGHT END, TRIMBLE IN THE BACK FIELD WITH BRYCE YOUNG. EVANS IS WELL IN. HE’LL GO INTO THE SLOT AS CAROLINA HAS OWNED THE FOOTBALL HERE IN THE SECOND HALF. YOUNG, A LOT OF TIME AND HE’LL RELEASE IT FIRST, INCOMPLETE AND YOUNG IS DOWN. HE’S GOING TO GET SCOOPED UP. BY ZAVALA THERE. >> Brady: JUST CAME DOWN AWKWARDLY IN THE POCKET AND TRIED TO GET THE BALL OUT BEFORE THE PRESSURE GOT TO HIM. COULDN’T STEP INTO THE THROW. JUST NOT ENOUGH ON IT AND AGAIN, WAS OPEN. WHAT A MOVE BY THE SPIN MOVE BACK INSIDE. >> Jason: TO SET UP THIRD AND DOWN BY CAROLINA. >> PRESSURE COMING. YOUNG WITH A FREE RUNNER IN HIS FACE, GO THE IT AWAY AND IT’S A FIRST DOWN FOR COKER! >> Brady: JUST A TOUGH CATCH AND THROW. . THEY’RE BRINGING PRESSURE AND COKER IS BRINGING BROOKS. A LOT OF CONTACT AND GRABBING. COKER USED HIS BODY. HE’S JUST A FREE RUNNER. >> Jason: LEGETTE IS DOWN, BY THE WAY. HE’S DOWN AT THE 33 FOR CAROLINA. >> Jason: CHECKED ON BY THE CAROLINA TRAINING STAFF FOR CHAFIER CHAFIER XAVIER LEGETTE AND HE’LL HAVE TO WALK OFF THE FIELD AT 6:50 HERE IN THE FOURTH. >> Brady: BRYCE YOUNG IS PLAYING THROUGH THE ANKLE INJURY. PLAYING TOUGH. YOU GO DOWN ON THE FIELD AND SEE HIM NEXT TO SOME OF THESE GUYS ON DEFENSE. >> IT’S BEEN ALL DAY. >> THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE SEASON. >> Brady: HE’S TOUGH. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. >> Jason: CAN HE PUT TOGETHER A GAME-WINNING DRIVE LATE IN ATLANTA? HE’S BEEN GREAT AGAINST THE FALCONS IN HIS CAREER. PITCH IT TO DOWDLE. RUNNING LEFT AND HE GOES DOWN AT THE 25. LONDON, THE SECOND-YEAR MAN OUT OF ILLINOIS WITH 1:16 TO GO. CAROLINA VERY WILLING TO METHODICALLY WILLING TO MOVE IT DOWN THE FIELD. >> Jason: HE SAID WE HAVE TO GO AND HE DOES. BRYCE YOUNG. A LITTLE MOVEMENT, NO FLAG AND THAT’S INCOMPLETE FOR McMILLIN. HE’S GOT TIRRELL JUST RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM AND STAPLED TO HIM, THIRD AND NINE. >> Brady: HE SNAPPED THE FOOTBALL ON THE LINE AND IT LOOKED DISJOINTED. JUST TIGHT COVERAGE AND THIS MATCHUP OF A.J. TIRRELL IN THE SECOND HALF WOULD MATCH UP WITH TIRRELL McMILLAN JUST OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE ROOKIE. HIS IMPACT SO FAR THIS SEASON FOR THE PANTHERS. >> Jason: NINE TARGETS FOR McMILLIN. >> IT’S A MISTAKE. YOU HAVE A.J. DOWN HERE AND THERE’S McMILLAN, AND THE PRESSURE THERE, BUT — >> Jason: HE GETS IT AWAY AND IT’S McMILLAN AND A LITTLE DODGE AND McMILLAN IS AT THE STICK AND IT’S A FIRST DOWN. BRYSON REMAINS WITH AN OUTSTANDING BLOCK IN SPACE AT THE CATCH. >> Brady: THE PLAY DESIGN BY THE PANTHERS HERE, TOO. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> Jason: TIRRELL IS OUT THERE ON THE ISLAND. >> Brady: AN EASY PITCH AND CATCH. >> Jason: FIRST DOWN, CAROLINA. AND HAD THE FIRST ONE IN THE SEASON. AND SOME DISORGANIZATION GOING ON. THE CHALLENGE — ATLANTA WILL CHALLENGE FROM THE FAR SIDE. RAHEEM MORRIS HAS DROPPED THE CHALLENGE MARKER TO SEE IF HE IS SHORT OF THE LINE AGAIN. >> FALCONS ARE CHALLENGING THE RULING ON THE FIELD OF THE FIRST DOWN AS THEY BELIEVE IT WAS SHORT. THAT PLAY IS UNDER REVIEW. >> Jason: IT WAS CLOSE. IT WAS VERY CLOSE. SO ATLANTA CHALLENGES. >> Brady: WHEN HE MADE THAT HESITATION MOVE AND HE WOULD GO BACK INSIDE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE TOUGH FOR HIM TO GET THERE, BUT IT DID LOOK LIKE IT INITIALLY, BUT WE’LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. THAT’S BRYSON THAT REMAINS OUT THERE BLOCKING AND BEING LOOKING AT JESSE BATES AND JALON WALKER TO MAKE THE PLAY, BUT — >> Jason: IT’S HARD TO TELL FROM THERE. REMEMBER, THE YELLOW LINE — >> Brady: IT’S NOT OFFICIAL. >> Jason: NOT OFFICIAL. THAT’S REALLY CLOSE. IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S SLIGHTLY SHORT. DEAN BLANDINO, WHAT DO YOU SEE HERE? >> PROBABLY THE BEST YOU WILL GET. IT LOOKS LIKE THE RIGHT KNEE IS DOWN AND THE BALL IS JUST SHY. HE’S GOT TO GET ABOUT HALF WAY BEYOND THAT YARD LINE FOR FIRST DOWN, SO TO ME, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE. >> Jason: DEAN, THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> Brady: THERE YOU HAVE IT. LOOKING GOOD. >> Jason: DEAN’S ALWAYS VERY PRESENTABLE. HERE’S ONE MORE LOOK AT IT. >> AFTER REVIEW, THE RUNNER WAS SHORT OF THE LINE. >> Jason: YEP. >> IT WILL BE FOURTH DOWN OF THAT SPOT. THIS IS A SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE AND IT WILL NOT BE CHARGED WITH TIME OUT. >> Jason: ALL RIGHT. SO THE OFFENSE WILL STAY ON THE FIELD. >> Brady: AND, LOOK, WE’VE GOT FOUR STOPPAGES THAT MAKE THE CASE. YOU SHOULD PUMP THIS. I LIKE IT, THOUGH. IT’S CLOSE. NO ELEMENTS TODAY IN PARTICULAR AND THE SECOND HALF WILL RUN THE FOOTBALL WITH DOWDLE. >> Jason: THE SEASON ON THE LINE FOR ATLANTA CERTAINLY. >> Brady: PLAYING AGGRESSIVE HERE AND YOU HAVE COUSINS AS THE BACKUP. >> Jason: SOME QUESTION ABOUT THE CLOCK HERE. >> 40 SECONDS ON THE PLAY CLOCK. >> THE PLAY CLOCK WAS DOWN AT SIX. >> Jason: SO THEY’RE GOING TO ADD TIME TO THE GAME CLOCK, AS WELL. IT’S UP TO 5:30. SO ALL OF THE TIME THAT RAN OFF WHILE THE CHALLENGE WAS BEING ADJUDICATED AND EVEN THE LONG SNAPPER IS LEADING THE CROWD. >> Jason: YOU SEE ELLISS AND DOWN ON THE TAILBACK. HANDED OFF AND AFTER ALL THAT, CAROLINA DOES MOVE THE CHAINS. >> Brady: HE’S BEEN SO GOOD AT MAKING A SUBTLE CUT AT FINDING A WINDOW TO GET THE FIRST DOWN WITH THE PUSH. FINDING TROUBLE THERE AT THE END AND THE REST OF THE OFFENSIVE LEAN WITH EKWONU, MAYBE LEWIS AND MAYS. >> Jason: ALL THEY NEED IS THREE. ATLANTA DOES HAVE ALL THREE TIME OUTS AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CHALLENGE. THEY DON’T LOSE ONE THERE. YOUNG SNAPS IT OFF QUICKLY AND THAT’S KNOCKED AWAY. INCOMPLETE AND BROOKS. >> Brady: ONE OF THE BEST GAMES OF THE SEASON AND BROOKS WAS CLOSE, BUT GOT EARLY. >> Jason: IT THREW HIM, BUT PLAYED THE BALL SO SECOND DOWN. >> Jason: ATLANTA RUSHES FORWARD. YOUNG, STEPS OUT INTO THE POCKET AND DOWDLE TO THE 41, SIX YARDS TO SET UP THIRD AND FOUR AND ATLANTA HAS BROUGHT PRESSURE WHOLEHEARTEDLY ON THIRD DOWN TODAY. >> Brady: CAROLINA HAS NOT HAD A GREAT ANSWER FOR IT AND LAST YEAR HE WAS TAKING A SACK AND HE DIAGNOSED IT AND FOR WHATEVER THE REASON HE WAS ABLE TO EXECUTE. >> Brady: WE CONTINUE THE SECOND HALF TO GO AFTER BROOKS AT THE 35. >> Jason: HE’S AT THE TOP OF THE KOORD COORDINATION, BROOKS IS. IT’S HUBBARD AND HUBBARD IS DRIVEN BACK. HARRISON CRUNCHED HIM AND IT’S FOURTH DOWN CAROLINA AGAIN. WHEN A HIT BY HARRISON! >> Brady: THAT’S JUST HOW FAST THE WINDOWS CLOSE IN THE NFL. CHUBA HUBBARD HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AND JUST GOT STYMIED AND RAN INTO HIS OWN PLAYER, MITCHELL, VANS THERE. HARRISON WITH ALL OF THAT EFFORT, PULLED HIM BACK AND WAS IN A FOURTH AND SHORT AGAIN? SUDDENLY YOU DON’T KNOW IF CAROLINA WILL GET THE BALL BACK. THEY LIKELY WOOD, BUT 3:15 TOP GO FIRST DOWN, AND HUBBARD AND DOWDLE IN THERE, IN THE EYE. >> HE CALL FALLS HOLDING ON TO THE BALL AND ATLANTA GETS THE STOP LONDON WAS IN . >> Brady: HE WAS WANT MOVING AS WELL WITH THE ANKLE INJURY AND I DON’T THINK HE COULD GET AS FAST AS HE NEEDED TO. >> Jason: AND HE’S DOWN NOW. YOU YOU GET THE SHORT YARDAGE SITUATIONS AND USUALLY THE SNAP IS AT A DIFFERENT POINT AND THAT OFFENSIVE LINE HAS TO FIRE OFF EVEN QUICKER THAN NORMAL. YOU’VE GOT TO GET OUT FROM UNDER CENTER AND SEE HIS RIGHT FOOT, THAT INJURED ANKLE. HE EVEN GOT STEPPED ON THERE BY CHANDLER ZAVALA. >> Jason: WHO WAS TRYING TO SOMEHOW GET RID OF THE FOOTBALL AND LOOK FOR ANY OUTLET FOR THE FOOTBALL AND INSTEAD BRYCE YOUNG AND THE PANTHERS TURN IT OVER. >> THE GAME CLOCK AT 3:02. >> Jason: AS HE SAID, BRADY, HE GETS STEPPED ON. >> Brady: RIGHT HERE. WATCH THE RIGHT FOOT, RIGHT ANKLE. SEE HOW FAST ZAVALA’S GOT TO STEP INSIDE BECAUSE OF LONDON? >> Jason: UH-HUH. >> Brady: SOMETIMES AS A QUARTERBACK WHEN YOU’RE IN THE CENTER LIKE THAT YOU STAGGER YOUR FEET OR NARROW IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT WILL BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SHORT LINE PLAYS AND IT’S NOT UNDER CENTER A TON. JUST AN UNFORTUNATE PLAY THE WAY IT WORKED OUT FOR THEM. >> Jason: NOW THE DEFENSE HAS GOT TO GET A STOP WITH JUST OVER THREE MINUTES TO GO AND MICHAEL PENIX, JR., OUT OF THE GAME AND KIRK COUSINS ON THE PLAY TO THE RIGHT AND IT’S ROBINSON DRAGGING AN EXTRA YARD. SECOND TIME IS A TIME OUT. >> Brady: YOU HAVE TO WONDER IF CAROLINA DOES GET THE BALL BACK IF IT’S GOING TO BE YOUNG OR IF THAT ANCHOR IS BOTHERING TO THE POINT WHERE ANDY DALTON WOULD COME IN. MICHAEL PENIX, HE’S OUT AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE INJURY TO HIS LEFT KNEE. HE’S BATTLED SOME ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE SEASON. THE CAROLINA INJURIES HAVE PLAGUED HIM A BIT. >> Jason: REMEMBER, ATLANTA HAS A NEW KICKER, AS WELL. ZANE GONZALEZ IN WEEK TWO WITH THE FALCONS AND THE QUESTION OF DO YOU MAKE IT A THREE AND A TOUCHDOWN MIGHT ARISE, AS WELL. IT’S ROBINSON AGAIN AND HE IS HAMMERED BY CHERELUS. DOWNSTAIR, SARAH KUSTOK. >> Sarah: THERE WAS A SMALL CONVERSATION BETWEEN AND I DALTON AND BRYCE YOUNG AND BRYCE SEEMED TO SAY TO ANDY THAT HE WAS FINE AND THEY’RE GOOD TO GO AND THEY’RE ON THE BENCH TAKING A LOOK AT THE TABLET. >> Jason: SARAH, THANK YOU. IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THEY CALL. CAN YOU MOVE THE POCK WET BRYCE YOUNG IF YOU GET THE BALL BACK? IS THAT A POOS IECE OF YOUR OFF THAT YOU CAN USE? >> Brady: IT WAS DATING BACK THROUGH COLLEGE TO THE NFL. HIS ABILITY TO IMPROVISE AND USE HIS LEGS AND NONE OF THAT MATTERS AT THE MOMENT. THE THIRD DOWN WITH THE PANTHERS DEFENSE AND THE FALCONS WITH CAPTAIN KIRK AT QUARTERBACK TRYING TO CONVERT. >> Jason: THEY’VE BEEN WILLING TO THROW AND THE FIRST COUPLE OF PLAYS WERE RUN, BUT THEN THEY HAD THREE STRAIGHT PLAYED RUN OF PASSES FOR THE FOUR-TIME PRO BOWLER KIRK COUSINS ON THE BIG THIRD AND FIVE FOR AT LANT AN’S SEASON. >> Jason: ALLGEIER, THE TAILBACK. ROBINSON IS TO THE LEFT OF COUSINS AT THE 40 THERE. THEY’LL MOTION ROBINSON. COUSINS ON THE SLANT AND THAT’S INCOMPLETE FOR LONDON. HE TRIED TO THREAD IT IN. >> Brady: MY GOODNESS. >> Jason: BY CHERELUS AND HORN ARE AMPED. >> Brady: CHERELUS IS HITTING OUT THERE. HE’S FIRED UP. REMEMBER, TREVOR WALLACE IS OUT. CHERELUS GETS THE START AND LOOK AT HIM REDIRECT AND PASS COVERAGE AND EVEN WHEN HE CATCHES, I’M NOT SURE HE’LL BE ABLE TO HOLD ONTO IT. TIGHT COVERAGE BY HORN. THOSE TWO HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH IN THE SECOND HALF. >> Jason: WHICH THEN LEADS TO A FIELD GOAL FOR ZANE GONZALEZ, IT’S FOUR AND FIVE AND THEY’LL TRY TO TAKE THE THREE. CALL IT 52. CAREER LONG IS 57. FORMER CAROLINA PANTHER SENDS IT ON ITS WAY AND IT IS GOOD! JUST SNUCK IT THROUGH! ATLANTA BY FIVE. KIRK COUSINS GETS A FIELD GOAL OFF THE TURNOVER ON DOWN. ♪♪ ♪ >> Brady: GOOD SNAP, GOOD HOLD, CLEAN OPERATION AND RIGHT THROUGH FOR GONZALEZ. >> Jason: THE PANTHER FAN IN THE BACK THERE AS HE WAS REALIZING THAT IT WAS GOING THROUGH. >> Brady: THAT WAS BIG FOR ATLANTA AND FOR FOLKS AT HOME THERE, AS WELL. >> Jason: A BIG GAME IN THE NFC SOUTH AND 2:43 TO PLAY AND BRYCE YOUNG. WE’LL FIND OUT HOW IS THE ANKLE? JUST GOT STEPPED ON ON THE PREVIOUS DRIVE. YOU SEE HIM JOGGING. HOW DO YOU KEEP THAT THING LOOSE? >> Brady: YOU HAVE THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING AND YOU ALSO HAVE A TIME OUT AND YOU CAN’T WORK AS METHODICALLY AS THE PRIOR DRIVE. THEY’LL HAVE TO TRY TO TAKE SOME CHUNKS WITH NATRONE BROOKS AND THEY WERE WORKING THE MATCHUP IN THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF. >> Jason: HE FINDS HIS WAY INTO THE END ZONE AND HUBBARD WILL TAKE THE TOUCHBACK. SO BRYCE YOUNG, 11 CAREER WINS. HE HAS PUT TOGETHER SOME DRIVES LATE IN GAMES THAT SUGGEST THIS IS A MOMENT HE CAN MAKE FOR HIMSELF. 2:43 TO GO. >> Brady: IT WILL SHOW YOU NINE GAME-WINNING DRIVES AND 11 CAREER GAMES AND PLAYING GAMES. >> Jason: THAT’S LIFE IN THE NFC SOUTH IN A LOT OF WAYS FOR A NORTH CAROLINA TEAM THAT REALLY FELT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO THEY HAD A SIGNATURE WIN AT GREEN BAY AND LOST TWO OF THREE WITH THAT BEING THE ONLY WIN. THEY’LL HAVE IT AT THE 35 ON A KICKOFF THAT SAILED INTO THE END ZONE. >> Jason: YOUNG, UNDER PRESSURE, SPINNING OUT OF IT AND THROWING IT INTO THE GROUND. RONNY HARRISON SPED HIM UP, SECOND DOWN. >> Brady: THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE ATLANTA FALCONS. THESE ARE THE MOMENTS WHY YOU DRAFT JALON AND PEARCE. THEY CREATE HAVOC IN THE BACK FIELD AND NOT HAVE TO BRING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE. >> Jason: 15th OVERALL PICK AND 26th OVERALL PICK ON THE EDGES. PEARCE AT THE NEAR SIDE. WALK OR THE FAR SIDE. EMPTY FOR YOUNG ON SECOND DOWN. HE GETS IT AWAY VERY QUICKLY. HE’S GOT IT FOR TREMAYNE WHO PUSHES HIS WAY AND A GAIN OF SIX. THIRD DOWN AND FOUR FOR CAROLINA. WITH ONLY ONE TIME OUT, THIS IS THE GAME BASICALLY ON THIS DRIVE FOR THE PANTHERS. >> Brady: IF YOU’RE ATLANTA YOU’VE BEEN MORE SUCCESSFUL MATCHING UP MAN TO MAN AS OPPOSED TO ZONE. BRYCE YOUNG HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE SOFT SPOTS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE GAME. >> Jason: WOULD THERE HAVE BEEN A PLAYOFF BEFORE THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING? LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER IS NO. I Y IS TRAILING BIG BY TWO SCORES AGAINST BUFFALO. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING FOR CAROLINA HERE ON THIRD DOWN FOR BRYCE YOUNG. HE’S GOT TIME. HE FLIPS IT, OH, A LITTLE TOO HIGH FOR HUBBARD. IT’S INCOMPLETE AND THE FIRST DOWN WAS THERE AND BRYCE YOUNG FLOATED IT. HUBBARD COULDN’T BRING IT IN. >> Brady: HE’S BEEN SO GOOD TODAY, TOO, WITH THE CHECKED DOWNS AND WORKING AND THIS ONE GET AWAY FROM HIM. >> Jason: ATLANTA MIXING IT UP THERE AND THEY BRING PRESSURE THERE AND THEY SHORTENED IT AND DROPPED DOWN INTO COVERAGE AND SOMETHING THEY LIKE TO DO ON FOURTH DOWN. >> Jason: EMPTY FOR BRYCE YOUNG. HERE WE GO! OVER THE MIDDLE AND HE’S GOT SANDERS, THE TIGHT END. FIRST DOWN, CAROLINA. HE KNEW HE’D HAVE TO GET RID OF IT QUICKLY, BRADY. >> Brady: THEY DID HAVE PRESSURE, BUT THEY SAID EARLIER, THEY HAVE A MORE SUCCESSFUL PLAN MAN TO MAN AS CAROLINA HURRIES UP. >> Jason: FOR THOSE OF YOU JUST JOINING US FROM THE BEARS-VIKINGS GAME, WHAT A GAME IT’S BEEN, NEAR SIDE CAUGHT BY TREMANE AND BRYCE YOUNG TRYING TO BRING THE PANTHERS DOWN THE FIELD TO GET BACK OVER 500. MICHAEL PENIX, JR., OUT OF THE GAME WITH A KNEE INJURY. BIJAN ROBINSON LEFT VERY BRIEFLY AND HE WAS INJURED AND ANDY DALTON DID NOT TAKE A SNAP AFTER THE SERVE-MINUTE DRIVE VEN-MINU ATLANTA AND NOW BRYCE YOUNG IN THE DIVISION HE’S BEATEN THREE TIMES IN HIS 11-WIN CAREER. HE GETS IT AWAY UNDER PRESSURE FROM ELLISS. DOWDLE DOWN THE SIDELINE AND RICO DOWDLE ON THE GAS PEDAL AND — IN! >> Brady: UNBELIEVABLE! >> Jason: TOUCHDOWN! >> Brady: UNBELIEVABLE! >> Jason: HE TIGHTROPED DOWN THE SIDELINE, LOOKED LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE CLIPPED THE EDGE. HE STAYS INBOUNDS AND CAROLINA TAKES THE LEAD! >> Brady: WHAT A PLAY CALL BY DAVE CANALES. >> Jason: ARE IF THOSE OF FOR T YOU JUST JOINING US, RICO DOWDLE HAS SPRINTED DOWN IN ATLANTA FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE A GAME-CHANGING TOUCHDOWN. THE QUESTION IS DID HE KEEP HIS LEFT BOOK INBOUNDS ON ONE STEP DOWN THE FRINGE HERE. WATCH AS HE COMES DOWN THE SIDELINE. >> Brady: RIGHT THERE. IF HE STEPPED OUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOMENT AND IT LOOKS CLOSE. >> Jason: OH, THAT IS REALLY CLOSE. >> THE RULING ON THE FIELD IS A TOUCHDOWN. WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE PLAY TO SEE IF THE RUNNER STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS. >> Jason: NOW THE STEP NATIONALLY LOOKS CLEAN, BUT AS HE SWIPES THE FOOT TO COME BACK UP INTO THE NEXT STEP, DOES HE END UP OUT OF BOUNDS? DEAN, WHAT DO YOU SEE. THE CALL IS TOUCHDOWN. >> THESE ARE SO CLOSE, I DO THINK PART OF THAT FOOT ACTUALLY SLIDES OUT OF BOUNDS. WHAT THE LEAGUE HAS IS THEY HAVE BOUNDARY LINE CAMERAS AND THEY HAVE A CAMERA LOOKING RIGHT DOWN THE LINE AND THAT WOULD BE THE BEST LOOK AND CERTAINLY APPEARS THAT THAT FOOT IS OUT. IT HAS TO BE CLEAR AND OBVIOUS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DECISIONS I’M GLAD I’M NOT IN THE COMMAND CENTER HAVING TO MAKE IT. >> Jason: DEAN, YOU AND ALL THREE OF US. >> Brady: WE’RE PUTTING YOU ON THE SPOT. >> IF IT’S ME MAKING THE DECISION, I THINK IT’S OUT, BUT THE BOUNDARY LINE CAMERA WILL BE KEY. >> Brady: I THINK TO YOUR POINT, JASON WHEN HE GOES TO PUSH OFF WITH THE NEXT STEP, IT LOOKS LIKE IF THERE WAS ANY MOMENT THAT’S WHERE IT CROSSES THE LINE. >> Jason: IF AT ANY POINT HE STEPS ON THE SIDELINE, HE’S OUT OF BOUNDS AND WHAT A PLAY CALL. >> THEY INVITED CADEN ELLISS AND WHILE THERE’S NO ONE FOR RICO DOWDEL AND THERE’S ALL THAT SPACE TO ROAM AND RUN. >> Jason: YOU HEAR THE CROWD REACTION AND THEY’RE SEEING CLOSE UP AND THE WHOLE OPTIMISM. THERE’S A WHOLE THEATER IN THE ROUND UP ABOVE HERE IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN HERE. THERE ARE FOUR REPLACE OF IT SIMULTANEOUSLY THAT THEY’RE WATCHING WITH THE ZOOM-IN THAT YOU’RE SEEING AT HOME. >> AFTER REVIEW, THE RUNNER STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS AT THE 10 YARD LINE. >> Jason: YEAH. >> IT WILL BE FIRST AND GOAL AT THE 10 YARD LINE. >> Jason: IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S THE RIGHT CALL, PURDY, RIGHT? >> AND STILL PLENTY OF TIME FOR THE PANTHERS HERE. >> Jason: YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BLEED THE FALCONS’ DRIVE TIME OUT. SCORING IS PARAMOUNT. >> I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE ANALYSTS WHO WILL SIT HERE AND TELL YOU THAT YOU NEED TO BLEED THE CLOCK AT THIS MOMENT. MAYBE IF YOU HAD THE BALL ON THE 1 YARD LINE THAT’S SOMETHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT, BUT YOU CAN TAKE THE LEAD IF YOU CAN TAKE THE LEAD. >> Brady: WHAT ABOUT THIS DAY FOR BRYCE YOUNG. >> Jason: A CAREER 382 IN THE AIR. >> Brady: BATTLING THROUGH AN ANKLE INJURY ALMOST THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME? >> Jason: THEY HAVE McMILLAN AND NATRONE BROOKS UP TOP. THAT’S THE MATCHUP. DOES BRYCE YOUNG WANT TO DO IT? AND THE SAFETY HELP THAT CAN COME OVER THE TOP. FIRST AND GOAL. IT’S A GIVE AND IT’S DOWDLE WHO IS STACKED UP IMMEDIATELY. >> Brady: DID ATLANTA CALL A TIME OUT BEFORE THE PLAY? THE OFFICIALS — WOW! >> 30 SECONDS. >> Jason: NO IT’S AFTER THE PLAY. YEAH. SO THE PLAY STANDS. IT’S SECOND AND GOAL. >> PLEASE SET THE GAME CLOCK TO 1:19. >> Jason: THE WAY THE OFFICIALS ADMINISTERED IT, THEY WERE IN SO QUICKLY ON THE PICK. SO BRYCE YOUNG, 3:82 FOR McMILLAN AND STILL FIGHTS BACK. >> Brady: JUST AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE AND HE’S BEEN EFFICIENT THROUGH THE AIR AND BIJAN ROBINSON HAS HAD HIMSELF QUITE THE DAY AND HERE’S THE HIT ON PENIX THAT ULTIMATELY KNOCKED HIM OUT OF THE GAME. COUSINS HAS COME IN AND QUITE A FIELD GOAL TO HELP BUILD THE 24-19 LEAD. >> Jason: SECOND AND GOAL, CAROLINA. YOUNG, A LOT OF TIME, SCANNING, FIRING, END ZONE, INCOMPLETE. IT WAS FOR DOWDLE, COVERAGE FOR CADEN ELLISS, THIRD DOWN AND GOAL, CAROLINA. WHAT’S AT STAKE HERE FOR THE PANTHERS IS TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE NFC SOUTH. THEY COULD PICK UP A GAME ON TAMPA BAY, BRADY, IT LOOKS LIKE. >> Brady: DOWDLE, AND CHUBA HUBBARD COMES IN AS RUNNING BACK AND THEY’RE SCANNING FOR MATCHUPS. TETAIROA McMILLAN DOWN ON THE SLOT TO BE ZONE COVERAGE. >> Jason: YOUNG, TO ATLANTA AND BRYCE YOUNG STEPS AND THROWS. HE’S GOT IT TO McMILLAN! TOUCHDOWN, CAROLINA! ♪♪ ♪♪ >> Brady: HE HAD HIM TWICE. HE HAD HIM IN THE FIRST DOWN AND RELEASES UPFIELD AND KEEPS HIS EYES TO THE TOUCHDOWN. WATCH AS HE WORKS OUTSIDE. HERE’S YOUR FIRST DOWN AND NO, TURNS IT UP AS YOUNG SCRAMBLES AND THIS IS JUST TO ME, YOU CAN’T PUT YOUR LINEBACKER IN THAT POSITION. YOU JUST CAN’T. >> Jason: ELLISS HAD THE SNAP AND TERRELL WAS IN THE AREA AND TO GET AWAY FROM HIM THERE AND IT’S A TWO-POINT CONVERSION TRY FOR CAROLINA NOW. THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT A THREE-POINT GAME WITH 1:08 TO GO AND YOUNG, LOBBING IT AND END ZONE AND THAT’S COKER FOR TWO. CAROLINA BY THREE. ♪♪ ♪♪ >> Brady: THEY FOUGHT HIM MAN TO MAN AND THAT’S THE MAN TO MAN BEATER AND YOU MENTIONED IT, TIRRELL THAT TIME MATCHED UP ON McMILLAN. WHY THEY DIDN’T DO IT ON THE PRY OR PLAY AND I HAVE NO IDEA FOR THE TOUCHDOWN PLAY. >> IT WAS THE LAST TWO PLAYS OF THE DRIVE THAT HE WASN’T SHADOWING McMILLAN. AND FOR TETAIROA McMILLAN, HE’S GOT FOUR NFL TOUCHDOWNS AND TWO AGAINST THE COWBOYS AND A HUGE WIN FOR CAROLINA. TWO AGAINST ATLANTA HERE TODAY. >> Brady: BRYCE YOUNG JUST SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF FALCONS’ NUMBERS THAT HE HAS PLAYED WELL IN THIS STADIUM DATING BACK TO HIS TIME IN COLLEGE. >> Jason: AND NOW IT’S UP TO KIRK COUSIN, LIKELY, THE 14-YEAR VETERAN FROM ATLANTA. >> Brady: A WISE TIME OUT BY MORRIS TO BE ABLE TO SAVE ADDITIONAL TIME FOR A COMEBACK. REMEMBER THEY USED IT IN THE FIRST DOWN PLAY ON THE LAST DRIVE. >> Jason: FITZGERALD TO TAKE IT AWAY. FROM THE 5, IT IS AGNEW ON THE RETURN. HE’S GOT A CREASE. AGNEW ACROSS THE 40 YARD LINE TO THE 45 SO CAROLINA HAD GREAT FIELD POSITION OFF THE TOUCHBACK AND ATLANTA EVEN BETTER ON A TREMENDOUS RETURN FOR AGNEW. >> Brady: YOU SEE A SEAM RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND AGNEW DOES, AS WELL AND NOT FOR A COUPLE OF ARM TACKLES TO SLOW HIM UP AND THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD THAT THROUGHOUT THE GATE. >> Jason: SEAN SMITH WADE WHO MADE THE STOP ON A 40-YARD RETURN. SO 1:01 FOR KIRK COUSINS. >> Brady: THE CAREER LONG 57 YARDS. >> Jason: HE’S HIT FROM 52 THIS AFTERNOON. COUSINS STEPS UP, FIRES, NEAR SIDE. HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN ACROSS THE 45. IT IS DAVID SILLS FOR ATLANTA FOR A GAIN OF 11. >> Brady: GOOD JOB BY SILLS. HE INITIALLY SLIPPED OUT OF THE CUT AND STILL ABLE TO MAKE THE PLAY. >> Jason: HIS 17th CAREER CATCH. JUST ABOUT ONE FOR EVERY YEAR KIRK COUSINS HAS PLAYED IN THE NFL COMING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. >> Jason: COUSINS, ROBINSON. CATCH AND ROUND AND NICE CATCH AND RUN FOR COUSINS INSIDE THE 35, FIRST DOWN, ATLANTA. >> Brady: CALL THIS THE TEXAS ROUTE OR ANGLE ROUTE AND YOU HAVE THE RUNNING BACK ONE-ON-ONE VERSUS THE LINEBACK ERR AND EASY CATCH FOR KIRK COUSINS. >> Jason: THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE IN FIELD GOAL RANGE AND COUSINS HAD THE FIELD GOAL THERE AND SECOND DOWN, 30 SECONDS TO GO IN THE FOURTH. ATLANTA TRAILING BY THREE WITH TWO TIME OUTS AND THERE IS ZANE GONZALEZ WHO JUST JOINED UP. THIS IS HIS FIRST GAME FOR ATLANTA IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. HE KICKED FOR THEM IN BERLIN LAST WEEK AND NOW THE GAME AT LEAST IN OVERTIME MIGHT BE RIDING WITH HIM. >> Brady: TWO TIME OUTS AND PLENTY OF TIME TO RUN THE FOOTBALL, TOO. BIJAN ROBINSON IS LIMITED TO THE SECOND HALF. A LOT OF YARDS, THOUGH. >> Jason: COUSINS DOWN THE MIDDLE AND IT’S LONDON WHO GETS DECKED BY THORNTON. ATLANTA, TIME OUT AND THE CLOCK STOPS AT 26. SO YOU’RE IN FIELD GOAL RANGE HERE. FOR A PLAY CALL ON THIRD DOWN, WHAT’S PARAMOUNT, BRADY? >> Brady: WELL, THE FIRST THING IS IF YOU’RE IN FIELD GOAL RANGE YOU CAN TAKE A SHOT. THAT’S ASSUMING THAT CAROLINA GIVES YOU THE LOOK THAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR AND THAT WILL BE A ONE-ON-ONE OPPORTUNITY. WITH THE BACKUP QUARTERBACK THERE WITH KIRK COUSINS. I’M NOT SURE THAT’S THE WAY YOU PLAY AND PROBABLY A BIT MORE CONSERVATIVE AND PUT YOURSELF INTO IT, AND YOU’D LIKE TO BE ON THE HASH. KICKERS LIKE TO BE ON THOSE YARD MARKERS AND IT MAKES THEM FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE AND COMFORTABLE. >> BOTH IN FOR COWS INS. KIRK COUSINS LOBING OUTSIDE TOO MUCH AND JACKSON, ASK IT WILL BE ZANE GONZALEZ TO TRY TO TIE THE GAME. >> Brady: THERE’S THE SHOT. THERE’S THE SHOT. MIKE JACKSON AND A LITTLE BIT MORE AIR ON THE FOOTBALL AND YOU CAN BRING THAT ONE DOWN, BUT THAT’S THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH YOU’RE LOOKING FOR TRYING TO AVOID GOING INTO OVERTIME AND INSTEAD IT RESTS ON THE SHOULDERS OR THE LEG OF ZANE GONZALEZ. >> Jason: THE FORMER CAROLINA PANTHER WHO MISSED TWO FIELD GOALS IN A PANTHER UNIFORM. THIS WILL BE FROM 45 FOR THE TIE. ATLANTA HAS LOST FOUR STRAIGHT TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO BREAK THAT, ZANE GONZALEZ, HIS SECOND GAME FOR THE FALCONS THIS YEAR. IT IS ON THE WAY. IT’S LEAKING! AND IT IS GOOD! OH, ELLISS LOSING OIL ON THE WAY HOME, BUT WE ARE TIED! >> Brady: THE SNAP COULD HOLD, THE PRIOR FIELD GOAL, TOO, JUST SNUCK IN THE LEFT UPRIGHT. THIS ONE EVEN CLOSER. >> Jason: I MEAN — TELL YOU WHAT, SEAN SMITH WADE WAS NOT FAR AWAY FROM BLOCKING THAT THING, EITHER. I MEAN, HOW ABOUT THE REVOLVING DOOR AND KICKER FOR ATLANTA, RIGHT? KOO MISSES A 44 YARDER AND THEY MOVE UP FROM HIM. ROMO SHOWS UP AND MISSES THE BALANCE OF THE YEAR AND ZANE GONZALEZ SHOWS UP AND MISSES IN BERLIN AND NOW HE’S TIED THE GAME AND CAROLINA HAS ONE TIME OUT AND 16 SECONDS AND IT FEELS LIKE OVERTIME IS IN OUR FUTURE AND AGAIN, REMEMBER ATLANTA LAST WEEK STRUGGLED TO COVER KICKS LATE IN THE GAME TO ALLOW IND INDIANAPOLIS INTO THE GAME. >> Brady: IT’S 60+ IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEK. >> Jason: YEP. FITZGERALD’S LONG IS 57. THIS RETURN FOR HUBBARD LOOKING FOR A THREESOME THAT CLOSES VERY QUICKLY. 11 SECONDS TO PLAY WITH FOR CAROLINA. HODGE WITH THE STOP. 11 SECONDS. >> Brady: YOU’VE GOT TIME ESSENTIALLY FOR TWO PLAYS AND WITH THE TIME OUT WE CAN TAKE A SHOT, I WOULD ASSUME SOMEWHERE ON THE SIDELINES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, BUT IF YOU’RE ATLANTA, YOU HAVE TO GUARD THE SIDELINES AND YOU DON’T WANT TO GIVE THEM A FREEBIE. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WOULD RATHER TAKE THIS THING INTO OVERTIME. >> Jason: BRYCE YOUNG WILL TRY TO BUILD ON A CAREER HIGH 394 YARDS, THREE TOUCHDOWNS AND FALCON FANS ARE LEARNING THAT 60 MINUTES JUST ISN’T ENOUGH. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.AS AN E MODE THE LAST TIME THEY HAD THE BALL. YOU DON’T GET TO SEE BIJAN ROBINSON AS MUCH. HE HAS A COUPLE OF TOUCHDOWNS AND YOU FIGURE HE’LL BE A BIG PART OF THAT. >> Brady: YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, CAROLINA PUT UP 17 POINTS AND ON THE SHORT FIELD IN THE LAST DRIVE AFTER THE RETURN. YOU’VE GOT TO GET BIJAN ROBINSON BACK INVOLVED IN THIS GAME. >> Jason: FITZGERALD’S KICK SAILS THROUGH THE END ZONE AND BROOKS LET IT ROLL. SO ATLANTA WILL HAVE THE BALL FIRST HERE IN OVERTIME. TEN MINUTE, ONLY ONE TEN-MINUTE PERIOD. WE’VE SEEN A HANDFUL OF TIES IN THE HISTORY OF THIS LEAGUE. REMEMBER GREEN BAY AND DALLAS EARLIER THIS YEAR. KIRK COUSIN, 43,000 YARDS AND GAME NUMBER 167 OF HIS CAREER JUST TRYING TO SALVAGE HIS SEASON AND HE’S THROWN FOR 450+ FOR THREE SEPARATE FRANCHISES IN HIS CAREER. HE’S LIVED THIS LIFE BEFORE AND HE’LL GO FOR THE 20. IT IS THE PLAY AND IT IS ROBINSON WHO THOUGHT ABOUT CARVING IT OUTSIDE AND JUST TOOK THE FOUR YARDS RIGHT INTO CHERELUS AND MERRICK’S SECOND DOWN. >> Brady: THE DIFFERENCE SO FAR WITH COUSINS SINCE HE’S COME INTO THE GAME THE BALL WAS OUT OF HIS HAND REALLY QUICK AND WITH THE ZONE COVERAGE THAT CAROLINA HAS PRESENTED HIM. >> Jason: COUSINS TO ROBINSON AND HE’S GOT A FIRST DOWN AND A MARKER DOWN AT THE 25. >> Brady: YOU SEE THEM DOWN FIELD ANY TIME YOU SEE THAT OFF THE SCREEN. >> Jason: CANALES AWAITING WORD. >> OFFENSE, NUMBER 64, FIVE YARD PENALTY. >> Jason: GOOD CALL, BRADY. IT’S THE CENTER, NEUZIL. >> Brady: LET’S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE, NEUZIL. A LITTLE PLAY ACTION AND FAKE INVOLVED AND THIS IS A LONGER DEVELOPING SCREEN AND IT WILL HOLD YOUR WATER IF YOU’RE AN OFFENSIVE LINEMAN AND TYPICALLY THEY’LL COUNT OUT LOUD, BUT IN GAMES WILL TRY TO PAUSE IT AND WAIT AS LONG AS THEY CAN AT LEAST DOWNFIELD. >> Jason: COUSIN, PUT IT ON THE GROUND. KYLE PITTS WAS RUNNING BEFORE HE CAUGHT IT. IT IS THIRD DOWN AND THERE WAS SOME GREEN IN FRONT OF IT, AND IT WAS TANTALIZING. AND WE TALKED ABOUT THROUGH THE DIFFERENCE OF THE RIGHT-HANDED QUARTERBACK AND THE LEFT-HANDED QUARTERBACK AND COMING AT THEM FROM THE DIFFERENT SIDE, AND IT SEEMS THE DIFFERENCE THAT WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN CATCHING THE DROP. CHERELUS IS UP AT THE LINE. COUSINS TO THROW. HE GETS IT AWAY AND THAT IS NEAR THE GROUND AND HODGE COULD NOT REEL IT IN. IT’S INCOMPLETE. IT WAS CLOSE. HODGE COULD NOT PULL IT IN. IT IS FOURTH DOWN, JACKSON ON THE COVERAGE RIGHT THERE WITH HIM. >> Brady: THE PROTECTION WAS THERE. THE ROUTE WAS THERE AND THE BALL WAS SLOW. BILL HODGE DOES A GOOD JOB GETTING BACK INSIDE DOWNHILL TO IT. HE NEEDED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME TO TRY TO WORK THE ROUTE, BUT IT WILL BE A TOUGH CATCH REGARDLESS. >> Jason: HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO TRY TO RESCUE THAT. THAT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD BE WELL SHORT OUT OF HAND FOR COUSINS. ETIENNE, THE ROOKIE OUT OF GEORGIA AND DOWN TO THE 7. THIS ONE GOES BOUNCING INSIDE THE 30. >> Jason: 52-YARD PUNT AND BRYCE YOUNG LOOKING FOR THAT SIGNATURE MOMENT AGAIN AGAINST ATLANTA. >> Jason: LOOKING FOR HIS FIRST 400-YARD GAME OF HIS NFL CAREER, AS WELL. HE’S 30 FOR 44 AND TETAIROA McMILLAN HAS EIGHT OF THOSE CATCHES FOR TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND YOU FIGURE A.J. TIRRELL IS GOING TO FOLLOW HIM. SO NOW FIELD GOAL DOES IT FOR CAROLINA AS YOU HEARD HIM ANNOUNCE. REMEMBER, TAMPA BAY HAS LOST. SO CAROLINA COULD CLOSE WITHIN A HALF GAME IN THE NFC SOUTH. ALL IT TAKES IS THREE. >> YOUNG HANDS IT TO DOWDLE WHO HAS COLLAPSED AFTER A YARD AND ANDONIA META AND HE HAD NO CHANCE. >> Jason: SECOND AND NINE. TO LEWIS, THE LEFT GUARD AND BRYCE YOUNG HAS THE LEFT SIDE AND CAUGHT BY TREMBLE AND TREMBLE BREAKS AWAY AND TREMBLE INSIDE THE 15! IT IS A NASTY CATCH AND RUN! >> Brady: HIS FIRST AND ONLY CATCH OF THE GAME COULDN’T COME AT A BETTER TIME AND A BIGGER MOMENT. YOU TALKED TO THE COACHING STAFF ABOUT TOMMY TREMBLE AND HE HAS THE SWITCH AND PRIMARILY USED THE FULLBACK. THEY’RE USING THE RUN BLOCKING AS A TIGHT END, AND THIS IS ALL JUST DETERMINATION. WHAT A PLAY! >> Jason: THAT’S HIS THIRD CATCH IN THE LAST FIVE WEEKS. DOWDLE ON THE RUN CAROLINA SUDDENLY ALL ABOUT THE TREMBLE. >> Brady: LOOK AT THIS. THE STIFF ARM ON HARRISON AND THAT’S RUNNING AND DOING HIS BEST TO OUTRUN ELLIS. THAT’S ENOUGH FOR A TOUCHDOWN. >> Jason: THAT IS AN IRATE RUN. TO LEVEL UP. >> Brady: YOU CAN’T ASK FOR MUCH MORE FOR BRYSON TO BATTLE THROUGH THIS ANKLE INJURY. GUYS HAVE STEPPED UP OUT AROUND HIM. HE’S GETTING INTO THE MOST. >> RIGHT BACK AND TRYING TO STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND DOWN TO 11 TO SET IT UP FOR THE LOCAL PRODUCT, FITZGERALD FROM COLQUIT COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL. VERY DRIVABLE TO THE HOME OF THE FALCONS. >> Brady: THIS IS NOTHING NEW FOR THE ROOKIE. HE’S DONE IT TWICE BEFORE AND THIS IS VERSUS GREEN BAY. >> Jason: WE’RE GOING TO RUN ONE MORE PLAY. LEAVE IT TO DOWDLE AGAIN AND HE’LL GO STRAIGHT AHEAD. AND THAT IS WHEN THEY CALL ON RYAN FITZGERALD. >> BIJAN ROBINSON HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE. IN BERLIN AGAINST INDIANAPOLIS COULDN’T PUT IT AWAY. SAN FRANCISCO, MIAMI, NEW ENGLAND BEFORE. FITZGERALD FOR THE WIN TO DRAW CAROLINA WITHIN THE HALF GAME IN THE DIVISION. FROM 28 AND CAROLINA HAS WON! >> THE OFFICIALS ARE TALKING IT OVER UNDER THE GOALPOST, BUT THAT WENT THROUGH AND THE PANTHERS WIN IT 30-27. WHAT A MOMENT FOR RYAN FITZGERALD FROM DOWN THE ROAD A PIECE. CAROLINA 30-27 AND THE PANTHERS ARE A HALF GAME BACK IN THE NFC SOUTH. >> Brady: THE OPERATION AND SOLID KICK AND THAT’S THREE FOR RYAN FITZGERALD. THE FALCONS DESPERATELY NEEDED THIS ONE
