Phil rey maualuga, number 58, tries to go underneath to make the play in the backfield and it opens up. The defense was not spread out enough. Thats what it is. When you talk about run defense, make sure every gap between the offense and the offensive linemen is covered. It wasnt that time, they give up the big run. Jim they have 159 yards rushing in the game. Toussaint. And theyre playing with their fourth and fifth running backs, if you will, of the year. Toussaint has spent most of the season on the practice squad. Had gotten into a couple of games at the end of last year with the ravens. Originally signed by baltimore, undrafted out of michigan. Four games in all for the ravens last year. Even played if the playoffs, got a couple of touches in that great divisional game that went back and forth with the patriots last year. Phil i know one thing, the steelers during the preen, they made it preseason, they made it their job to make sure they got landry jones ready. They did pick up michael vick. It didnt go well. Jim in trouble, no chance. The bengals double up and get him. Dunlap and sims. You mentioned mike vick. He is inactive tonight. Phil boy, Carlos Dunlap was on the outside to the right. His spin move just forced his way in between the linemen. Jim it was really sims. Phil it helped simms. He gets there first but he was making jones move. Jim sims with a batted ball on this series and now a sack. Third and 17 as bryant will the bengals have that one completely covered up. And burfict over there near the steelers sideline. Phil well, what do you want to say looking for trouble. Jim you dont want to see this game get completely crazy. Its pretty close. Anytime hes hovering by the steelers sideline, that cant lead to good things, for anybody. Berry. Boy, that was close. Fair catch by tate at the 13. 45yard boot. air horn, trap door opening rootmetrics, in the nations largest independent study, tested wireless performance across the country.

In whats been one of the most physical games youll ever see. Phil it was a great physical contest for a lot of the game. It was fun to watch, the speed and the defenses, they were ferocious. And then, of course, got a lot of side action to go with it. Jim mccarron to him. Hes got room. Hes got 10 and the first down. I want to go one time more back to the roethlisberger play where he was sacked by burfict and just ask you was this, in your mind, a legal tackle. Phil talked about the rule. Lets bring in mike carey. Mike yes, this is definitely a legal tackle. Its rough but he didnt lift him up and stuff him. As a matter of fact, ben was a runner at that point, remember. He was scrambling. Phil the rule was instituted in 1995. Jim first and 10 for mccarron. Dumps it off underneath and hill races out for another 13. Bernard is not coming back weve been told. Hes out for the game. So is dre kirkpatrick, their cornerback whos been in and out with injuries and was the one beaten on the touchdown play to bryant. Hill is a little gimpy after that. More than a little. Phil we saw how the defense dropped back. Great job by mccarron, drop it short. Jim rex burkhead now is the running back. And burkhead getting a chance to handle it and hes got four. On super bowl sunday, pepsi presents the biggest concert of the year, the pepsi super bowl 50 halftime show and for the first time ever, pepsi is giving fans exclusive behind the scenes access as the show comes together. Pepsi. Com for more details. Second and 6. Mccarron. Hes got running room. Hes close to the first down. Phil good job by a. J. Mccarron. Hes moved around tonight when he needs to to make a play when he cant find anybody open and this is not something the steelers say oh, we dont care, hes not going to run. They were leery of playing coverage and him running out of the pocket and making plays like that. Hes shown, especially last week, to be more spontaneous, getting used to the action on the field and getting all those practice reps each week. Jim you saw hill coming back into the game. Mccarrons throw should have been caught. Off the hands of eifert then nearly intercepted by Mike Mitchell. Phil finally the i shouldnt say finally but this is what theyre vote noted for, these type of throws down the field. Hes going to go across. Fights through the zone. Nobody there to cover him. The throw was absolutely good enough to catch. Was it perfect . No. But eifert is going to make that 98 of the time. Jim eifert had three catches in the first quarter. Hes hat had one since. You saw burkhead split out to the right side. A. J. Green is not in the game. Sanu is. Second and 10. Hes going to take off again and slide for one. Phil rex burkhead was in the playoff game for the bengals last year, right . Remember, he was a part of their passing game. Jim like their top wideout in the game. A. J. Green is back on this play. Phil but the steelers are really dropping deep in coverage. Mike mitchell, the last play, was 30 yards deep in the middle of the field. Look at him right now, how far he is going back. Why is he getting all the way back there . Because he wants to see whats going on and make sure a. J. Green or one of those receivers, they get open deep, he can chase them down the sidelines. Jim timeout, cincinnati. Its first. Wild card weekend continues tomorrow on nbc and fox. Nbc up first with seattle and minnesota. In chilis weather. Green bay and the redskins on fox. The two coaches tomorrow hosting are both former assistants to marvin lewis. Talking about jay gruden and mike zimmer. You would think this might be a. J. Green time. Third and 9 coming up. I know all these a. J. s can get a little excusing confusing at time. Its Raymond Anthony mccarron jr. And Adrian Jeremiah green. You can go by that. Theyre blitzing. Gets the pass away. Diving catch by eifert could have caught the one earlier just a couple of plays ago. This time makes an 18yard diving reception. Phil there he goes. Heres the blitz inside. They love it. Two blitzers crossing, one coming up the middle. Almost looks like the same play that roethlisberger made Antonio Brown against the blitz. Jim sideline and a catch. By green. Brought down by gay right away. Gain of nine. Phil were seeing the a. J. Mccarron they kind of saw in that denver game, that had some rhythm. That time dropped, made his decision. On his last step, hit the ground. He threw it on time outside to the soft coverage to green. Jim seven minutes remaining. They go to the ground and fighting for the first is hill. And the pile moved enough for him to get it, i believe. It is a first down. Phil finally, jim, you heard me say it. Those seams going up the field inside. Weve seen a couple of them. Eifert missed one then he caught a big one. Thats one of the big weaknesses or the biggest weakness of the steelers pass defense. Jim remember, cincinnati has two first downs in the first half . Now with 15 in this half. Again to hill. Backs in for a couple more. Moats met him there after two. You know, im going to bring up that twopoint attempt by pittsburgh. Of course, had the steelers made it, the bengals would not have been kicking the extra point when they had a touchdown at the start of this quarter. Favre a lot of things had happened since then. If theyd made it maybe the bengals would have gone for two, it would be 166. Didnt second guess them when they did it. Understood why mike tomlin was trying it, to get to 17, to make it three scores. The most important thing right now, third down. 157. Know that youre definitely in field goal range. Be careful with the football. Jim andy dalton looking on. Third and 8. 5 5 to go. Mccarron, gives it up to burkhead. Harrison is there and harrison takes him out of bounds short of the first and now its going to be fourth and 3. They immediately bring out nugent. Phil 5 44 to go, get it to two, within one score. No decision by marvin lewis, kick the field goal. The steelers defense ready. A little switch by the receivers. They pass it off. There was nowhere to for mccarron to go with the football. Jim going to be a 35yard attempt for nugent. The most tenured bengal in his 11th year. Well call it 36 now. Heres the kick and it is good. 10 points in the quarter by the bengals. Pittsburgh leads it 1510. The 88th southern parallel. We had traveled for over 850 miles. My men driven nearly mad from starvation and frostbite. Today we make history. Bienvenidos welcome to the south pole if youre dora the explorer, you explore. Its what you do. What took you so long . If you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. You did it, yay jim lets look at next gen stats presented by tostitos. Phil we get a blitz by the bengals defense. Antonio brown cuts across the field. How many yards does he cover . We know the speed, the quickness. Its there. 80 yards. Big play of the game. Jim and wait till you see this development. Look whos back ready to go. Ben roethlisberger. Tracy, you were backstage to see what happened. What can you tell us . Tracy thats right, jim. We saw him go directly into the extra room. He spent about 10 minutes inside there and then he was carted out without his pads. No sling on whatsoever. Into the locker room. They made arrangements to get his pads and everything back on. I was told hes coming back out and going to try to get back out there. Jim wow, not surprising, is it . Phil what did i say a couple of weeks ago . Its part of being the steelers quarterback. Jim hes not coming out. He had the helmet on but landry is coming out. Phil there you go. Not good enough to come back into this game. Jim maybe what it says is there is no backup to jones so if you had to at least have somebody come out and hand it off. Phil good point. You see him moving his arm around showing everybody. Jim but jones is the quarterback with 5 12 to go. Jones throw is caught by brown for a pickup of six. Hes overton sideline. Hes not even warming up, any throws or anything like that. Phil but the way he put that helmet on and the way he was standing there, everybody was around him, i thought he was coming back into the game. Mike tomlin im sure asked him how do you feel in case we need you . Jim yeah, how do you feel . What can you give us . Second down and 4. Todman dives just to get back to the line of scrimmage. Dunlap had a read on that play. In the rain again and the rain again intensifies with four minutes approaching. The jungle has turned into a rain forest. Favre yeah, it sure has. The crowd noise, usually the steelers would throw screens. They have lots of different types of plays they can run in these situations but so far tonight, the bengals defense has been all over those underneath throws. Jim heres a third and 4 play. Jones. Down the field and incomplete. And no flag. Leon hall on the coverage of Antonio Brown. Phil leon hall, got a little nicked up last week. But in good position. If the throw is inside, Shawn Williams is going to be there to knock it down so landry jones threw it the only place he could, outside. Jim adam jones is back to return. Had his only second fair catch of the season earlier in this game. A dangerous threat. Going to have a chance to handle it here. Spins around and goes. Adam jones to the 45 of pittsburgh. Phil first person this week in the special teams meetings when they walked in the room, adam jones was sit interesting waiting because he knew he was going to be a runner. Jim 24yard return and cincinnati, down five, has the ball in pittsburgh territory, 3 28 to play. Exe staining carpet. But this is new lifeproof carpet with Stain Resistant Technology built in to help keep tough stain out. Lets do this. Save up to a to 100 on your total project including carpet, pad and installation. Only at the home depot. Jim the nfl on cbs, sponsored by national car rental. Go national, go like a pro. And by subway, founded on fresh. Phil well, this steelers defense back on the field again. Why am i bringing it up . Because conditioning, being tired has got to be part of this right now. Jim meantime, cincinnati, over 9,100 days since its last playoff win 25 years ago this week. In january of 1991. Seven attempts since. Phil he changed the play. The defense changed its play also. Jim and mccarron, little jump pass. And the shoe string camp by hill for three. Is mccarron looking a little more confident to you at the moment . Phil absolutely. Hes had a few good drives. Tevin last drive, had good rhythm. Its taken a while. But hes hung in there. 2035 for the game tonight. Jim second and 7. Steeler blitz. Quick pass. And its pulled down for the catch by marvin jones. For six yards. Phil well, James Harrison had a terrific pass rush the play before and this time what is he doing . Trying to get outside. Almost gets from to be the underneath dernled under jones but mccarron threw it on rhythm. Puts his offense in a good third down situation and yes, absolutely, this is fourdown territory. Jim third and 1. A long yard to go. Phil i knew you were going to ask me that question so thats why i answered. Jim no, i didnt think that one was a question at all. Mccarron in trouble. Shazier had the heat on him. Phil you have to always look to the back side. It was a corner blitz that time. Here comes James Harrison. Here comes william game. Jim it was really shazier that forced him ultimately to just throw it out of bounds. Fourth and theyre calling it officially 1. It looks like 2. Phil you know the play youre going to run. Dont use the timeout so in case you dont get it youre able to stop the clock and get the football back with time. Jim another blitz. William gay blitzing, leaving open jones. Hammered down after the first down by moats. Phil throws it to the right. Here comes the blitz. Jim it was william gay on the blitz. Phil yeah, it was jones coming all the way across. But what did they do . They played zone behind the blitz, trying to get the best of both worlds. Jim now on first down, mccarron. Scrambles out of what could have been a sack and picks up three. And that will bring us to the twominute warning. Coming down to the wire. Unbelievable night here. Youre watching the nfl on cbs. Back in 1965 subways founders fred deluca and dr.

If cincinnati pulls this off, the bengals go to new england, sending kansas city to denver. A pittsburgh win puts kansas city at Gillette Stadium and sends the steelers to the mile high city. Second and 7 coming out of the twominute warning now. The bengals with two timeouts. Having entered this quarter down 150. Mccarron and that pass, errant throw in the direction of mohamed sanu. After the game, the the subway postgame show. James brown and all the crew standing by for the highlights and their analysis of this game. Phil well, if youre the steelers, especially on the defensive side, there are two ways to play it. Go after the quarterback. Theyve been blitzing every play until that last play. They sat back. So hue jackson, can you call the right play and get the defense you expect to give a. J. Mccarron a chance to win this game . Jim a third and 7 and mccarron goes down the field and its caught and a tampa phil we saw it early in the game and this pass was knocked down but a. J. Green goes inside and what a job by mccarron. Finding him on the back side. Jim just as he had done in both meetings in the regular season, green is in the end zone tonight against the steelers. Phil good job and also what happened that time, did you see a. J. Mccarron was looking to the right and it wasnt there, then he comes back. Now they have to get the jim go for two. Phil go for two. Jim go for two here. Try to up the margin to three with 1 30 to play. Four players shift in the formation. Little toss over to hill. The steelers are all over it and deny them. Phil that was dangerous. Could have been a lateral, which it was and that could have been returned for a twopoint conversion. Jim can you imagine that . Could have flipped that script. Phil that would have been unbelievable. But lets go back and look at what a. J. Mccarron did to maybe win this game. A. J. Green is going to go down, they break back out. Watch the quarterback as hes looking to the right. Looks right, makes a little pump fake and then comes to the back side and that delay, that kept the safety from getting over there and making this play because hes reading the quarterback. Jim by the way, this is greens firstever playoff touchdown. Theres Mike Mitchell coming in. Mitchell raised just across the river here and he had talked with us last night about his respect for a. J. Green. Hes frustrated us, he told us. Hes more combative now. Hes a heck of a player and hes recently gotten a lot of big chunk plays against us and they just got one there to take the lead. Phil he says i always out of the corner of my eye am going to have an eye on a. J. Green when he can. That was a play that the quarterback, with his lookoff made him look inside and he lost sight of a. J. Green. That looked like it was almost preplanned. I watched the little pump fake by mccarron on that replay so that was well thought out. They called the right play. Hue jackson called the right play and had the perfect defense to get that touchdown. Jim short kick. Return opportunity for wheaton. But the bengals have it covered up. Including smith. And weve got another pushing and shoving match going on near the 35yard line. Phil guess whos in it . It just looked like Vontaze Burfict once again was involved. Oh, gosh. Burfict just was coming in trying to Police Things that time. Jim steelers have all their timeouts. Trying to drive to get an attempt at a winning field goal. Jones, middle of the field and that is intercepted and its burfict who comes away with it with the football. He better be down because hes running the wrong way. What is going on here . Five bengals ran right up the ramp to the locker room, including burfict with the football. The question is was he down . I believe he was. Phil watch what he does. 55, what a job. Contact. Hes down. Contact takes him to the ground. There it is on the ground also. Jim yeah, no question. Phil but he fooled the quarterback. Jim i thought for a moment there, are we going to have a jim marshall moment here . Dialing back a memory from years and years ago. The old viking. Running the wrong way. Phil Vontaze Burfict. He did it all tonight. Caused a lot of trouble, be thank you sack of roethlisberger, the tackles. Watch him as he read the quarterback. He was going outside. Stopped it and broke back inside to get the interception. Awesome job. Jim this game is not over. The steelers have all the timeouts. Heres hill. The ball is out shazier had it for a moment and now its picked up by cockrell. Lets see here. Theyre going to rule that hill was down. I believe its a fumble. Phil called a fumble on the play. It was automatically be reviewed, of course. Referee fumble recovered by pittsburgh. First and 10, pittsburgh. Jim oh, my goodness. What a change of events here. Still got it. That was stripped away by shazier. Did the elbow touch first or was the ball coming out . Its coming out. Mike carey, no doubt about that, right . Mike its a close one but its coming out. Attention, football fans. Southwest is having a sale. Let us run some numbers by you real quick in terms thatll stick. Right now, get fares as low as touchdown with an extra point, of course.

Watch the knee, watch the elbow, but the ball from is moving. Mike carey, any doubt in your mind . Mike in my mind, that ball is moving and certainly theres not enough to reverse. Jim right. Start doing the math on what would this situation have been referee after reviewing the play, the ruling on the field stands as called. First and 10. Jim look whos coming out. Ben roethlisberger trots onto the feel. This whole exchange of turnovers , pittsburgh lost five yards and 27 seconds. Now, had cincinnati just had three pedestrian running plays and the steelers would have taken all their timeouts, probably would have gone for a field goal. But youd have been somewhere under a minute. Phil yes, that was the idea. Jeremy hill let the ball get ripped out of his arms. Jim and roethlisberger throwing it. Flings it to bryant. Bryant in traffic. Makes a nice couple of moves and picks up eight. Trying to drive them to put them in range for chris bodies boswell. Phil good play to test that arm out with, the shoulder, whatever is bothering him. The screen play to get him moving. Jim roethlisbergers throw is incomplete. Brown wasnt quite ready for it. Phil one of the defensive backs, leon hall is down, not in there either. Jim theres hill standing alone in a very defensive stance having fumbled, losing his fourth fumble of the year. Third and 2. 54 seconds. The steelers still have all their timeouts. Cincinnati is going to use one of its two that it had remaining. And again, the the subway postgame show will follow immediately after this one. J. B. , tony, bart, boomer and coach cowher for highlights and analysis of the game. All coming up, the subway postgame show. Those couple of throws, i know they werent long throws but could you tell anything about roethlisberger being compromised right now throwing the football . Phil hard to tell but they did look ok enough where it looks like i cant say his arm looks great but still got it out there with some pep on it. And you look at marvin lewis going up and down the sideline. Looking for that first playoff win. Jim third and 2. Rushing three. Roethlisberger, lofts it and quite a catch by toussaint. Had to adjust and he goes out of bounds. Gain of seven and a first. Phil good job by Ben Roethlisberger moving around. Its a threeman rush so hes going to wait until he sees it cleanly to make the throw. And youre right, toussaint, nice adjustment. Big first down. Gets out of bounds, saves a timeout. Jim that was only their second third down conversion of the night. Roethlisberger slings it over to toussaint. Gets a move to get around lewisharris and near another first and pittsburghs got to take a timeout here. And thats a first down. Phil cincinnati playing the averages, jim. Playing soft. Let him throw it underneath, get those yards. They used a timeout. But you cant continue that coverage. A couple more completions, two timeouts extra defensive backs. Look where they all how deep everybody is. Jim remember, theyve lost kirkpatrick to injury tonight and most important, reggie nelson. So theyve lost two defenders to injury tonight, the bengals. Phil leon hall is not in there, the extra defensive back. No, hes back in the game now. But roethlisberger did the right thing throwing those footballs short and getting in this position. Jim on first down and under pressure throws it incomplete. Gilberry and johns in the area of roethlisberger when he threw it. Phil a little confusion, i think. Linemen going down the field, it looked like it might be a screen but then you saw roethlisberger going down the field. Jim that hit couldnt have felt too good on a tender right shoulder. Second and 10. Will Antonio Brown be a factor here . Going to the other side from brown to bryant. And iloka cuts him off, pushes him out. 32 second, only picked up three. Phil Antonio Brown basically double covered. They made sure that time hes not going to be the difference in it. And we havent seen roethlisberger given that extra time. Jim you wonder how far downfield hes able to throw it. Phil thats right. Jim third and 7 with 32 seconds. Trying to cross them up on the ground. Toussaint got tripped up. That was Michael Johnson who saved what would have, in all likelihood, been a first down carry. Phil yeah, it would have been a first down. Look at johnson on the ground making the tackle. That is something. Since hes come back from tampa bay, they lost him to free agency. Hes back and hes played the run better this year than any time in his career. It would have been first down. Jim a pittsburgh timeout right now at 25 seconds. They have one remaining. The play call looked like a solid call. There was just one hand that could stop him. Phil youre right. Trying to catch them off guard and i think you said it. 28 seconds to go. They still have one timeout. Jim they added three second here on the clock. Timeout bengals. The final one. Phil marvin lewis and paul guenther, the defensive coordinator. Jim first things first for pittsburgh. Got to convert here. Phil well, they have to convert and you just have to make sure, you tell your defense tackling, if they catch the football, get them to the ground. You know, dont overplay in a situation like this on the defensive side. That gives the offense that opportunity to make that big play. To get them into field goal range. Jim hill so concerned his miscue could be the difference here. Praying that his defense can somehow end it right now. Fourth and 3. Roethlisberger. Has the first down. Brown to the 48. Phil they called the timeout immediately. And they did a great job. A little switch that time by an tiny brown in the slot to the right side. He goes inside. Heath miller goes out that. Cause confusion and he gets him away from leon hall. Really welldesigned play. Jim theyre out of timeouts and theyre about well, 14 yards away from being able to put them in position that would match the season long by boswell but you would think they have 10 yards now you would have to bring him out and see if he could convert it from 55. But no timeouts. 22 seconds to go. Roethlisberger from the pocket. Middle of the field, incomplete. Oh, a flag does come in phil went to the head. Jim lewisharris is going to be flagged for this on the hit on Antonio Brown and its going to put the steelers in field goal range. Burfict was in there too. Phil burfict is coming across the field. I saw it. I thought it was him. Jim they both were in on the coverage. Is it 55 or 37 . Referee personal foul, defense number 55. 15yard penalty. Jim how about that . Referee automatic first down. Jim burfict in the end. Phil definitely took the shot to the head. You could see it live. Marvin lewis before this drive started was talking on the sideline the whole time it seemed like to burfict and yes. Jim oh, my goodness. Brown is still down. Phil thats, of course, flagrant. Jim out of control . Phil out of control. Its going to be everything. Thats going to be suspension, fine. Jim it may cost his team a game. Phil and before this drive started, marvin lewis was on the sideline with him talking to him the whole time to make sure that he controlled his emotions when he went back out on the field. Jim i dont think that message resonated, as much as marvin tried. Brown is on his feet and now theres a flareup again. An official just got pushed. And now if this is just a penalty against cincinnati, its going to make this a chipshot field goal and lose their season over it. Burfict thinks it might be against pittsburgh. Phil he just went over to the sideline and pushed his own coach. Oh. You know, listen, jim jim this call is huge because its going to have everything to do with this field goal attempt. Phil well, its huge but its sad. We knew coming into the game that anything you did was going to be watched closely and the officials john parry, theyve tried to keep control of this game. Referee personal foul, defense, number 24. 15yard penalty. First down. Jim adam jones. Theres joey porter, one of the assistants. Hes had, of course, back in his playing days scrapes. Then he got bumped. Phil its just could it get any worse . Jim no. I dont know. Its been in so many different places tonight. Roethlisberger being taken off the field and a couple of phil fans cheering. Jim fans cheering the fact that he was injured. A couple of times tonight you wanted to use the word dis graceful. And thats what it is. Phil its disgraceful on so many fronts, by everybody. Im not going to blame the officials, jim. They have tried. How many flags can they throw . How many penalties . Jim im going to get back to the fact that this young man here, fistyear kicker, has a chance to put the steelers ahead with 18 seconds to go. Going to likely be a 35yard attempt. Theyre not going to run another play, risk anything. Nobody has any timeouts. I guess they could have in theory run a play and had a spike but theyre going to goahead and go for the kick that will make it in win it if he makes it and the kick is drilled and the steelers are back ahead at 1816. Well, again, the last unsportsmanlike penalty on adam jones made this all the way down the field to a 35yard field goal. Phil this has got to go down as one of the worst defeats ever imposed on yourself. With the penalties. Jim so it all began with the hill fumble just after burfict had made an interception that looked like it could have possibly sealed and it then the headhunting penalty called against burfict and then theres joey porter in the middle of things, the former steeler linebacker. And theres pacman jones in the middle of it and he draws a flag that makes the kick only a 35yarder. Off the 15yard penalty. You try to stitch that together, you try to write that story. There are four of five moments here in the last moment of the game, you just shake your head and you cant believe it. Now you start to wonder in these final 14 second, barring any crazy miracle here, what roethlisbergers condition will be like and Antonio Brown, for that matter, when they go to denver next week for the divisional round. Phil you have to wonder, too, the bengals. Marvin lewis. This game, how it unfolded. Looking for his first playoff victory. You think its over. We got the football. Jim adam jones. And he runs into jarvis jones. Tackled at the 24. Six seconds to go. Jones was arguing his case to parry. Phil its too late now. And all the great plays and stuffs by adam jones and Vontaze Burfict. They had highlight reels here tonight in plays they made on the defensive side. None of it will be remembered. Jim mccarron. Launching it deep. Batted down by shazier and the game is over. The steelers have come back behind roethlisberger reentering the game and driving them with the aid of penalties to the gamewinning field goal. I want to see whats going to happen down here on the field, as the steelers try to hurry to the ramp and to the exit. Phil well, theres a lot of debris being thrown down on the field.
