What a position by graham and he really take its away from marvin jones. They need breaks and got one here early. Jim what a start.

Tate this time will not be running it back. Dalton is 14 in his career combeans the ravens. He threw three picks in the matchup november 11 at baltimore. A couple of touchdowns but he as picked off three times. Today the first snap of the game is an i. N. T. Giving him for his career four touchdowns and seven interceptions against that baltimore defense. Phil i meant to say that was an underthrow by andy dalton and threw it up there too softly. Completes it over the middle to a. J. Green. He has a gain of about seven. There is that ravens defense ranked number nine in the league. Actually first in the league in forcing threeandouts. Ngata makes the pro bowl again. So does suggs. Second and 3. Greenellis with ngata riding with them carries it across for a first down. We have an update. E go back to j. B. In new york. Shannon playing like a team that wants to get into the playoffs. Ben roethlisberger nine yards to cotchery into the end zone, 70 steelers over the browns. James pittsburgh needs a win and a lot of help. Jim nantz and phil simms. Jim the biggest longshot of them all needing losses by miami, baltimore and san diego as well as their own win. First down picked up by the bengals. A timeout is called by dalton. Just one second on the play clock. Phil it is hard, this defense of the ravens. They do show a lot to the quarterback. Andy dalton many times has two plays when he goes to the line of scrimmage. He has to figure it out. Couldnt figure it out quick enough. Jim well, this team here at the jungle, 70 on the year. The last four games, over 40 points every time. They average on the season 15 more a game at home than they do on the road. And in these last four games they have been held by their defense. Five defensive touchdowns in that fourgame homestretch. You talk about teams like this when they get on these hot streaks on the offensive side you usually are getting help from your defense, turnovers, good field position. Special teams touchdown. The bengals are doing it all here at home. Jim alex smith is their tight end. Gresham and eifert are out. Bernard, trying to wiggle his way off of smith but unable to get away from smith. Phil really good play by smith. They are an excellent screen team. The Wide Receivers and especially to this guy, giovani bernard. I will say you will see four or five screen plays at least to bernard. He can take any of them and go about 70 yards with it. Jim back to the four receiver formation, stacking a pair on ach side on second 11. In traffic he is able to negotiate a gain of about seven. Phil how about that. They talk about him here, jay gruden, the offensive coordinator say this guy can do everything as a wide receiver. But we have so much talent we have a hard time getting him on the active roster. Screens to the tight end and to the running back. You will get a headache watching everything they do on the offensive side. They are very complicated. Im a third and 4. Marvin jones has the catch. And a blitz pick up helped to make that play. Phil it did. Watch bernard. Sees it at the last second. Good job by andy dalton. Both of these teams, i can say this about the cincinnati and the ravens offense. They were absolutely awful in the first matchup. They did not do it well. The quarterback has to get in there and it caused turnovers. Jim now it will be a delay of game. They almost got caught one time. This time they do. Fantasy football fans, keep the excitement going in the postseason with playoff challenge. Even bigger cash prizes all on cbs sports. Jim andy dalton said my gosh. It makes you mad seeing how bad we were picking up those blitzes. Jim bernard gets the carry. The rookie from north carolina, a gain of two. Phil also we talked about the weapons on the offensive side for the cincinnati bengals. I think one of the big keys to turn this team around is Andrew Whitworth going from left tack toll left guard. Then they put Anthony Collins out there who is a terrific pass blocker. Whitworth has made them more stable and powerful. When you have a good offensive line it lets the skills guy show off what they can do. Jim second and 13. Dalton will be picked for a second time. Hurdles past one tackler out to the cincinnati side of the field and a flag comes out at about 43 on a baltimore block. His third pick of the year. All of them coming at the hands of dalton. Phil well, it is just an overthrow this time. He has a. J. Green down the middle. He has what he wants. After the interception illegal block in the back. 10yard penalty. First down baltimore. Phil when you have tall Wide Receivers, watch a. J. Green going down the middle. They do throw a lot of high passes expecting the receivers to jump and make that catch but that was too high. The ravens play it safe. They get the second interception. Jim so, two interceptions early in the game and kyle cook, the center for the bengals hobbles to the sideline after the play. First down throw by flacco. And he has found bernard scott, the former bengal for a gain of seven. Cincinnatis defense, you talked about it in the open. Posted great numbers under mike immer. Second and 2. Scott, might have been stopped a half yard shy of the first. Phil a couple of things. When you look at joe flacco, help him out with play calls. Give him some easy throws. Was not sharp last week. The experience of playing with that should help him out here today. Jim he said the knee brace last week had nothing to do with anything. But we were there and particularly early it seemed like there was a real adjustment period. Phil he said that to us and then limped out of the room. He is not worse this week with his knee but still not well. Jim it is third and a foot. Trying to earn it on the ground and they get it with pierce taking it over to the cincinnati side. Running behind michael oher. Phil this is a pretty determined team. You can see it already. They need bernard pierce. He read it right that time. He got through the first tackle, broke it and got extra yards. These running backs for the ravens must get extra yards after contact and make somebody iss to get a big play. Jim flacco has a man. Looks like he has another first. Torrey smith i think they spotted it just shy. 71 wins since 2008. That is regular and post. That is the best. Of course brady and manning during that span and in there both missed a season of football. Phil he has been consistent. We talked about it so many times. Extremely underrated. Tough situation for him this year with this offense skill wise they are not as good as last year and it hurts the quarterback. Jim they did get the first down to smith. Now they run it with pierce. And that is no gain. We have another update coming out of our studios in new york. James carolina clinches the south with the win. Shannon the falcons are not cooperating. 70 falcons on top of the panthers. James basketball yesterday and football today. Jim thank you, j. B. A little double dip. Saw a couple of teams we might be seeing in dallas at the final four, kentucky and louisville in three months time. Second and 9 here as the ravens try to take advantage of a second takeaway in the early action. The flag does come out. Pitta was saying he was being held by burfict. He is retiring at the end of the day. Being an nfl official since 1991 and larry rose also retiring after spending 17 seasons as an nfl official. Great service to the league by those two gentleman. They will be missed. Here is a first and 10 carry by bernard scott. He is getting some early action here with rice and pierce. What is the story here . Phil they are unhappy with the running back situation. The old motto in the nfl they block it for four yards, you have to get more than four. I think the production from the running backs, yes. The blocking hasnt been great but you have to make people miss. You have to break tackles. I am sure that is why scott is in there. Pretty quick running back can make people miss. Jim second and 8 over to pitta. Pitta fighting for that yardage and pushed back about a yard shy. Scott protecting his quarterback. Phil dennis pitta on the catch. That is the second time joe flacco has gone to him. That is a great sign for that offense. They need an inside presence to throw the football to. Last year it was pitta and anquan boldin. We will see if it changes the offense. Jim pierce comes back behind flacco. Dixon in at tight end. And there is leach shifting on third and 1. Pierce picked up one already on third down. He has another. The first time on third and a foot he gained nine. This time he carries it for 14. Phil good inside blocking. They doubleteam peko that time that. Is the guy you worry about. Hard to get him out of there. The doubleteam, that is who they run behind. Awesome job. Jim so, pierce big time runs in third down situations on this drive setting up a first and goal. The ravens struggled in the red zone early this season. Nly five of the last 17. Pierce. Phil you look at this, i know it is early, but do you see a little more determination from the running backs . Do you think somebody might have yelled at them to give them the message we need more from you. They look determined to run the football. Jim especially pierce. Phil pierce is breaking the armtackles. He runs heavy. Puts his feet in the ground. So when you get him he is not easily knocked off balance. A really good start by the offensive line. Im second and goal. Jim go to pierce again. Takes a couple of bengals to bring him down. Pushing it close to the 3. The last rush touchdown by the ravens backfield running back was ray rice. We were there. Jim phil look for a team that is big and physical that is really hard to believe. Tells you about what has been going on with the Baltimore Ravens offense. Jim they run it the last two plays with pierce and now have a third and goal. Pitta split out to the near side. Flacco looking middle of the field, back of the end zone and incomplete. Headed in the direction of pitta. That was kirkpatrick in on the coverage. Phil there is nobody open on this. He stayed outside. He is faster than pitta. Watch people coming across the field. There is nobody open. That is awesome coverage. Bengals, good job in the red zone. Jim the bengals offense in the red zone having a hard time to push it across for a touchdown. They will bring tucker out for a 22yard attempt. He is good again. So two interceptions leading to two field goals this one the overthrow right into the arms. Tucker puts another three on the board for baltimore. Yea, im aaron rodgers. No, thats not it. Youre dat state farm discount double check guy. [ both ] discount daaaaable check. Thanks to the hundreds you saved us, we could upgrade to grill class. Grill class . Your tongs are in your seat back. [ male announcer ] save with the discount daable check today.

Phil i was told you performed at the Kennedy Center. Jim i was there for a great night with four former president s honoring volunteerism in america. Phil did you keep the speech short . Jim running it out is tate. D pushed back at the 22 by mcclellan. A little bit of sparring after words. Time to let go fellows. Phil too much at stake to get a stupid penalty
