>> AND THE GIANTS WILL START
WHERE THE EAGLES HAVE WON THE
LAST 5.
GIANTS LOST AT PHILLY ON
NOVEMBER 21st.
THEY'VE WON 3 STRAIGHT.
D.J. WARE FROM JUST INSIDE THE
10.
GETS TO THE 30.
BROUGHT DOWN BY JOSELIO HANSON,
A RETURN OF 20 YARDS.
AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE
OFFENSE, LED OUT THERE BY
ELI MANNING, WHO IS ONE
INTERCEPTION AWAY FROM HIS
CAREER HIGH.
BUT HE'S FIFTH IN THE NFL WITH
24 TOUCHDOWN PASSES AND, TROY,
HERE THEY ARE, FIRST TIME SINCE
WEEK 7, THAT STARTING OFFENSIVE
LINE HAS BEEN BACK TOGETHER.
>> SHAUN O'HARA HAS MISSED A
NUMBER OF GAMES.
RICH SEUBERT, WHO IS STARTING
TODAY AT HIS NORMAL POSITION OF
LEFT GUARD, DID AN OUTSTANDING
JOB DURING THOSE WEEKS AT
CENTER.
THEY'RE MAKING THE SWITCH TO
TRY TO SHORE UP THE INSIDE
AGAINST THIS EAGLES DEFENSIVE
FRONT.
>> HERE IS BRANDON JACOBS.
TAP-DANCING AND A PENALTY FLAG
COMES IN.
JACOBS, A LOT OF MOVING AROUND,
ONLY A 1-YARD RUN.
>> HOLDING, NUMBER 86, OFFENSE.
10-YARD PENALTY, FIRST DOWN.
>> THEY GET BEAR PASCOE, WHO
HAS TAKEN OVER AT FULLBACK.
TOOK OVER WEEK 4 AGAINST THE
CHICAGO BEARS, AND HE'S BEEN
GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
>> YEAH, HE HAS.
THAT'S HIM TAKING OVER FOR
MADISON HEDGECOCK THERE AT THE
FULLBACK POSITION.
AND ON THE FIRST PLAY OF THE
GAME, A NICE CALL THERE BY THE
OFFICIAL, SEEING THE HOLD ON
ERNIE SIMS.
AND I THINK IF YOU THINK BACK TO
THAT LAST TIME THESE TWO TEAMS
MET, ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE
EAGLES WERE SO SUCCESSFUL
AGAINST THE RUN WAS BECAUSE OF
THE LINEBACKERS PLAYING
DOWNHILL, LIKE WE JUST SAW FROM
ERNIE SIMS.
>> PENALTY MAKES IT FIRST AND
20.
THEY STAY ON THE GROUND.
BRANDON JACOBS WITH AN EXTRA
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THERE,
SHAUN ANDREWS, THE FORMER EAGLE,
A GAIN OF JUST 2.
IT WILL BE SECOND DOWN AND 18
AS JAMAR CHANEY MAKES THE
TACKLE.
AND, TROY, HE'S GOT TO BE THE
GUY YOU FOCUS ON AS WE LOOK AT
THIS DEFENSE.
THE ROOKIE TAKES OVER FOR
STEWART BRADLEY IN THE MIDDLE.
>> WHAT A GAME FOR HIM, HUH?
HE COMES IN, AND PLAYING IN A
GAME AGAINST THE DIVISION-RIVAL
NEW YORK GIANTS FOR THE NFC EAST
DIVISION LEAD.
AND A VERY ATHLETIC GUY.
BUT HE WILL BE MAKING THE CALLS,
AS STEWART BRADLEY DID.
AND THE GIANTS ARE HOPEFUL THAT
THEY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOME
ROOKIE MISTAKES HERE THIS
AFTERNOON.
>> ON SECOND DOWN, FIRST THROW
FROM MANNING.
HE'S GOING FOR MANNINGHAM!
OVERTHROWN.
JUST A BIT OUT OF HIS REACH.
IT WAS THERE.
AND IT'S THIRD AND 18.
>> WELL, GIANTS COME OUT.
YOU GOT ASANTE SAMUEL.
REMEMBER, HE HAD TWO
INTERCEPTIONS IN THE GAME THE
LAST TIME THESE TWO TEAMS MET.
HE'S BEEN A THORN IN THEIR SIDE
FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
AND THEY WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF HIS AGGRESSIVE NATURE.
MARIO MANNINGHAM ON THE OUTSIDE,
JUST SIMPLY RAN RIGHT BY
ASANTE SAMUEL, HIM THINKING,
"OKAY, THEY'RE GOING TO RUN AN
INTERMEDIATE ROUTE."
THEY HAVE A CHANCE DOWN THE
FIELD, JUST CAN'T CONNECT.
>> SAMUEL MISSED THE LAST THREE
GAMES WITH A KNEE SPRAIN.
SO, HE'S BACK TODAY.
AND IT'S THIRD AND 18.
MANNING WITH TIME, DOWN THE
SIDELINE, OVERTHROWS MANNINGHAM
AS HE TRIES THE OTHER SIDE.
AND IT'S FOURTH DOWN.
A GOOD START TO THIS GAME FOR
THE EAGLES DEFENSIVELY, AND THAT
PENALTY HURT RIGHT OUT OF THE
GATE.
>> WELL, IT DID, AND I THINK
THAT FOR THE GIANTS, IF YOU LOOK
AT THE LAST THREE GAMES THAT
THEY HAVE PLAYED -- ALL WINS, I
UNDERSTAND -- BUT THEY HAVE NOT
BEEN GOOD.
IN FACT, THEY'VE BEEN VERY BAD
ON THIRD DOWNS.
AND THEY HAVE GOT TO BE BETTER
THAN THAT HERE TODAY.
A GOOD DEFENSIVE START HERE FOR
THE EAGLES.
>> THE ROOKIE, DODGE, HITS IT.
PRETTY GOOD PUNT.
THAT'S MACLIN ON THE FAR SIDE.
CALVIN WAS BACK THERE WITH HIM.
AND JEREMY MACLIN WILL TRY TO
USE HIS SPEED.
COULD NOT GET AROUND DeOSSIE.
THE LONG SNAPPER WAS THE FIRST
GUY DOWN THERE, AND AFTER A
49-YARD PUNT, NOTHING ON THE
RETURN.
ON FIRST DOWN, PLAY-ACTION.
VICK, WITH PRESSURE, GETS HIT.
THROWS TO DeSEAN JACKSON,
INCOMPLETE.
AND MICHAEL VICK, FIRST PLAY,
TAKES A HIT.
AND THAT'S BEEN A BIG PART OF
THIS SEASON FOR THE EAGLES, ALL
THESE HITS THAT VICK HAS TAKEN.
>> RIGHT OFF THE TOP HERE, BUT
HE'S ABLE TO COME THROUGH.
LOOKED LIKE DEON GRANT ON THE
BLITZ.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DID LAST
TIME.
AND MICHAEL VICK COMING OFF A
GAME WHERE HE TOOK A NUMBER OF
HITS LAST WEEK.
AND THAT'S THE ONE WAY THE
DEFENSES NOW FEEL THAT THEY CAN
TRY TO DISRUPT SOME OF VICK'S
TIMING.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> ON SECOND AND TEN, A BLITZ
COMING FROM ROLLE.
VICK TRYING TO GET OUT OF
TROUBLE.
HE DOES.
THROWS ACROSS HIS BODY.
INTERCEPTED BY WEBSTER.
COREY WEBSTER ON THE RETURN.
AVANT BRINGS HIM DOWN.
AND AN EARLY TAKEAWAY BY THE
GIANTS DEFENSE.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> THEY BROUGHT KENNY PHILLIPS
ON THE BLITZ.
THEY DO A GOOD JOB OF PICKING IT
UP.
THE EAGLES OFFENSIVE LINE DOES.
CHRIS CANTY, RIGHT THERE IN THE
MIDDLE -- HE'S THE ONE WHO'S
ABLE TO GET PRESSURE, FORCE VICK
OUT TO HIS LEFT.
VICK TRIES THROWING ACROSS HIS
BODY, AND COREY WEBSTER'S
CLUEING IN THE ENTIRE TIME.
YOU SEE DeSEAN JACKSON TRIES TO
SLOW-PLAY WEBSTER, NOT REAL
CERTAIN THAT THE BALL IS EVEN
COMING IN HIS DIRECTION, AND
WEBSTER IS ABLE TO UNDERCUT IT
FOR THE INTERCEPTION.
>> SO, WITH THAT EXCHANGE, AND
AFTER THE TAKEAWAY,
INTERCEPTION NUMBER 4 FOR
WEBSTER, HERE ARE THE GIANTS AT
THE EAGLES' 42.
QUICK THROW AND THE FIRST
COMPLETION.
IT'S MANNINGHAM.
MANNINGHAM WAS A LITTLE BIT IFFY
DURING THE COURSE OF THE WEEK.
HAD A HIP-FLEXOR INJURY LAST
WEEK IN DETROIT IN THAT GAME
AGAINST THE VIKINGS.
AND TOM COUGHLIN, THE HEAD COACH
OF THE GIANTS, TOLD US,
"MANNINGHAM'S GOT TO PLAY.
HE'S THE ONE GUY THAT CAN RUN
RIGHT THROUGH THEIR SECONDARY
FOR US ON THE OUTSIDE."
>> WELL, HE IS THE ONE GUY, BUT
THEY'RE ALSO HOPING THAT A
COUPLE OF OTHERS WILL HAVE SOME
SUCCESS DOING IT.
AND ONE OF THOSE BEING THEIR
TIGHT END, KEVIN BOSS, BECAUSE
WITHOUT STEVE SMITH, THEY LOSE
AN IMPORTANT GUY WORKING THE
MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.
>> SECOND AND 4 AND A
COMPLETION TO HAKEEM NICKS FOR A
GIANTS FIRST DOWN.
>> THE EAGLES THIS YEAR
OFFENSIVELY HAVE REALLY STARTED
GAMES OFF VERY WELL.
AND WHEN PAM OLIVER SAYS, "HEY,
THE EAGLES WANT TO GET OFF TO A
GOOD START," WELL, THEY'RE USED
TO GETTING OFF TO A GOOD START.
THAT'S A HECK OF A DEFENSIVE
START FOR THE GIANTS TO BE ABLE
TO COME OUT IN THE FIRST
POSSESSION, FORCE A TAKEAWAY,
SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
AWFULLY GOOD AT ALL YEAR LONG.
>> A BLITZ COMING FROM THE
EAGLES.
MANNING IS IN TROUBLE AND DOWN
ON MIDFIELD, AT THE 50.
THEY'RE GOING TO WRAP HIM UP.
IT WAS MOISE FOKOU COMING ON THE
BLITZ.
AND ALL OF THAT GOOD FIELD
POSITION TAKEN AWAY BY A
TERRIFIC PLAY BY THE SECOND-YEAR
PRO OUT OF MARYLAND.
>> YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA SEE HIM.
HE JUST WORKS RIGHT AROUND THE
EDGE.
AND THEY TURN HIM LOOSE.
SO, PLAY-ACTION AND HE GETS A
FREE RUN THEN AT ELI MANNING.
YOU CAN GET BET THAT THESE
LINEBACKERS THROUGHOUT THIS
GAME, A LOT OF THESE BLITZES
THAT WE SEE THERE FROM
MOISE FOKOU IS REALLY THEM
TRYING TO PLAY THE RUN.
IT'S A RUN BLITZ.
BUT IN THE ATTEMPT TO PLAY THE
RUN, THEY'RE RIGHT THERE THEN IN
POSITION OFF THE PLAY-ACTION
FOR THE HIT ON ELI MANNING.
>> WHAT A BIG DEFENSIVE PLAY
THAT WAS -- A LOSS OF 18.
AND ON SECOND DOWN, HERE IS
AHMAD BRADSHAW, TRYING TO PICK
HIS WAY THROUGH THAT EAGLES
DEFENSE.
AND HE PICKS UP 7.
>> YOU KNOW, FOUR WEEKS AGO, THE
GIANTS HAD SOME TURNOVERS IN
THAT GAME, AND THE DEFENSE FOR
THE GIANTS IS WHO KEPT THEM IN
IT.
IN FACT, THE GIANTS HAD THE LEAD
THERE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GIVE UP A
LOT OF POINTS WHEN THE EAGLES
WERE ABLE TO GET DOWN IN SCORING
POSITION.
RIGHT NOW, THE EAGLES WERE ASKED
TO DO THE SAME THING.
THEY GET THE TURNOVER.
THEY HAVE TO COME OUT ONTO THE
FIELD RIGHT AWAY AGAIN.
AND RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE
SACK, THEY KNOCKED THE GIANTS
OUT OF FIELD-GOAL RANGE.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 21.
ELI MANNING STEPS UP.
IT'S TIPPED IN THE AIR.
AND INCOMPLETE, LOOKING FOR
MANNINGHAM.
AND IT WAS KURT COLEMAN, THE
ROOKIE, WHO GOT HIS HAND UP AND
KNOCKED IT INTO THE AIR.
AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT PLAY BY
MOISE FOKOU, AND A LOSS OF 18 ON
HIS FIRST SACK OF THE YEAR, THE
GIANTS ARE PUSHED BACK OUT OF
FIELD-GOAL RANGE AND A PUNT
COMING FROM MATT DODGE.
MACLIN IS WAITING DEEP.
DeSEAN JACKSON TYPICALLY RETURNS
PUNTS.
HE SPRAINED HIS FOOT LAST WEEK
IN DALLAS.
EAGLES HAVE IT FOR THE SECOND
TIME.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
CHAD HALL, FIRST-YEAR PLAYER OUT
OF AIR FORCE, IN THE BACKFIELD.
QUICK SETUP AND THROW.
PASS COMPLETE, AND THAT'S MACLIN
WHO IS SPUN TO THE GROUND BY
TERRELL THOMAS.
HIGH SNAP, McCOY.
AND LeSEAN McCOY BREAKS FREE.
SHIFTS THE BALL TO THE OUTSIDE
ARM AND FORCED OUT AT THE 40 BY
COREY WEBSTER, A RUN OF 20.
PERRY FEWELL, THE
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, TOLD US
POINT BLANK AND WITHOUT
EXCEPTION, LeSEAN McCOY IS THE
EAGLES' BIGGEST WEAPON.
>> ANTREL ROLLE, HE HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY THERE TO MAKE A
PLAY, AND GENERALLY HE'S THE GUY
WHO WILL MAKE THAT TACKLE.
HE DOESN'T MISS MANY LIKE THAT,
BUT McCOY, WHO HAS BEEN ON A
REAL HOT STREAK HERE IN RECENT
WEEKS, HE'S ABLE TO AVOID THAT
TACKLE AND TURNED IT INTO A NICE
GAIN.
>> 20 YARDS FOR McCOY.
AND VICK RUNNING TO HIS LEFT.
FORCED OUT BY GOFF.
A GAIN OF 3.
HERE ARE THE BACKS AND RECEIVERS
FOR THE NUMBER-ONE OFFENSE IN
THE NFL.
AND THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S
WEST COAST OFFENSE.
THIS IS AN OFFENSE THAT HAS BIG
PLAYMAKERS ON THE OUTSIDE, AND
THEY ARE VERTICAL,
DOWN-THE-FIELD THREATS.
>> AND THEY'RE ALL YOUNG.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE HERE A
WHILE.
>> SECOND AND 7.
WILL VICK?
HE'S A FREE AGENT TO BE.
HAND-OFF TO McCOY.
STUMBLING AS HE GOT THE BALL, A
GAIN OF 3.
THIRD DOWN COMING UP.
AND NOW THIS DEFENSE, WHICH
COMES IN NUMBER TWO IN THE NFL.
THEY LEAD THE NFL IN TAKEAWAYS
NOW WITH 32.
THEY'RE TIED FOR THE MOST IN
SACKS WITH 39.
AND THE GROUP ON THE BACK END,
AND THEY PLAY A LOT OF 3-SAFETY
SETS.
THIRD DOWN AND 4.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
PASS BATTED DOWN.
FOURTH DOWN.
JASON PIERRE-PAUL, THE ROOKIE,
KNOCKED IT AWAY.
>> JASON PIERRE-PAUL, HE GOES
UP, AN ATHLETIC GUY.
AND JASON PETERS, THE LEFT
TACKLE, HE DOES AS GOOD A JOB AS
YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE LEFT
TACKLE.
HE BLOCKED HIM SO WELL THAT HE
KNOCKED JASON PIERRE-PAUL OFF
THE BALL.
BUT PIERRE-PAUL HAD THE
AWARENESS OF KNOWING HE COULDN'T
GET THERE, JUMPED UP, GOT HIS
HANDS UP, KNOCKS THE BALL DOWN
ON THIRD DOWN.
>> SAV ROCCA WILL PUNT IT.
WILL BLACKMON WAITS FOR IT.
BLACKMON HAS A LITTLE ROOM IN
FRONT OF HIM.
BUT HE MUFFS IT.
KICKED FORWARD.
CHASE BLACKBURN OF THE GIANTS ON
TOP OF IT TO SAVE AN EARLY
TURNOVER.
HERE'S BRADSHAW.
SWALLOWED UP IN THE BACKFIELD.
DOWN HE GOES.
AND FOKOU, WHO HAD THAT SACK THE
LAST TIME THE GIANTS HAD IT,
MADE THE PLAY.
A LOSS OF 4.
HERE'S THE RIVALRY SINCE 2008
OF THE LAST TEN DIVISION TITLES
SHARED BETWEEN THE GIANTS AND
THE EAGLES.
AND IT HAS BEEN A REAL GOOD
7-YEAR RUN NOW UNDER
TOM COUGHLIN, AN EVEN BETTER
12-YEAR RUN UNDER ANDY REID,
HEAD COACH OF THE EAGLES.
SECOND AND 14.
BRADSHAW AGAIN.
AND AHMAD BRADSHAW CANNOT GET
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE.
JAMAR CHANEY MADE THE STOP.
>> IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE IT DID
THE LAST TIME THESE TWO TEAMS
PLAYED.
IN THAT GAME, THE
NEW YORK GIANTS WERE HELD TO A
SEASON-LOW 208 TOTAL YARDS AND
A SEASON-LOW 61 RUSHING YARDS.
NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT
ALL SEASON LONG.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT WAS THE
EAGLES WERE ABLE TO GET
PENETRATION INTO THE GIANTS
BACKFIELD, WHETHER IT WAS WITH
THEIR DEFENSIVE TACKLES, PUSHING
THE GUARDS BACKWARDS, OR THEY
WERE HITTING IT WITH THEIR
LINEBACKERS.
TODAY WE'VE SEEN MOISE FOKOU IN
THE BACKFIELD A COUPLE TIMES
ALREADY.
>> IT'S THIRD DOWN AND 11.
MANNING WITH TIME, STEPS UP AND
THROWS.
HITS FOR THE FIRST DOWN, NICKS,
AS HE ROLLS INTO EAGLES'
TERRITORY, A COMPLETION OF
22 YARDS.
>> WELL, THEY GOT KEVIN BOSS
GIVING A LITTLE HELP THERE TO
LEFT TACKLE DAVID DIEHL ON
TRENT COLE.
AND ELI MANNING, HE THREADED
THIS ONE PRETTY GOOD.
ASANTE SAMUEL LOOKED LIKE HE WAS
LURKING IN THERE AS TO WHETHER
HE WAS GONNA COME OFF OF THAT.
AND THE QUESTION IS, WAS THAT A
CATCH?
>> YEAH, THAT BALL MOVED WHEN
THE BODY OF NICKS WENT TO THE
GROUND.
BUT NO CHALLENGE FROM ANDY REID.
OVER THE MIDDLE, BRADSHAW, HIT
IMMEDIATELY.
AND THAT'S FOKOU AGAIN.
A GAIN OF 3.
>> I SAY THAT BECAUSE
ASANTE SAMUEL, AS WE TALKED
ABOUT, THE LAST GAME THAT HE
PLAYED WAS AGAINST THESE
NEW YORK GIANTS.
IN THAT GAME HE HAD
2 INTERCEPTIONS, AND HE'S A GUY
THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER HE WILL
TAKE CHANCES AND LOOK IN AND
CLUE ON THE QUARTERBACK.
AND ANYTIME YOU'RE THROWING TO
SOMEONE HE'S DEFENDING OR EVEN
TO HIS SIDE OF THE FIELD, YOU
BETTER KNOW WHERE HE IS,
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE'S IN ZONE
COVERAGE.
AND THAT TIME HE HAD A CHANCE.
HAD HE BEEN A LITTLE BIT
QUICKER TO COME OFF THAT THROW,
HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET
UNDERNEATH IT BEFORE BOSS MADE
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CATCH.
>> ON SECOND AND 7, NICKS IS
LEFT ALONE, AND HE DROPS IT.
PATTERSON GOT THERE LATE.
AND HAKEEM NICKS WAS JUST
STANDING, WAITING AND COULDN'T
MAKE THE CATCH.
>> HE RUNS A POST CORNER ROUTE,
A NICE ROUTE.
HE'S ABLE TO GET
DIMITRI PATTERSON TURNED AROUND.
BUT YOU GOT TO FINISH THE PLAY
AND THEN MAKE THE CATCH.
IT WAS A PERFECTLY THROWN BALL.
JUST A LACK OF CONCENTRATION.
>> THE FIRST TWO THIRD DOWNS FOR
THE GIANTS, THIRD AND 18, THEN
THIRD AND 21, THEY CONVERTED ON
THE THIRD AND 11 ON WHAT WAS A
QUESTIONABLE CATCH BY
HAKEEM NICKS.
NOW IT'S THIRD AND 7.
D.J. WARE IN THE BACKFIELD.
MANNING.
THROWS TO THE SIDELINE, AND THE
PASS CAUGHT FOR A FIRST DOWN
BY MANNINGHAM.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
SOMEHOW KEPT HIS FEET DOWN AND
IN BOUNDS.
THAT'S THE CALL.
>> THAT'S A NICE JOB RIGHT
THERE.
LOOKED LIKE HE DID HAVE HIS TOES
DOWN.
RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE,
SHAUN O'HARA, HE GOT WORKED OVER
PRETTY GOOD AGAINST A 3-MAN
RUSH.
THE EAGLES STILL ABLE TO GET
PRESSURE ON MANNING.
>> HERE'S BRADSHAW.
GOOD WORK UPFIELD BY
JUQUA PARKER AND A LOSS OF 3.
>> BOY, WE'VE SEEN THAT JUST
ABOUT EVERY FIRST DOWN NOW HERE
IN THE EARLY GOING.
THE GIANTS HAVE LOST YARDAGE ON
FIRST DOWN.
IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT,
ESPECIALLY FOR AN OFFENSE THAT
HAS STRUGGLED COMING INTO THIS
GAME CONVERTING ON THIRD DOWN,
ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN GOOD
HERE IN THE EARLY GOING.
YOU CAN'T CONTINUALLY LOSE
YARDAGE THE WAY THE GIANTS HAVE
ON EARLY DOWNS.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 13.
HERE'S BRADSHAW AGAIN.
RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE OF THIS
EAGLES DEFENSE, INSIDE THE 35, A
GAIN OF 6.
THIS IS AN EAGLES DEFENSE THAT
HAS BLITZED LESS AND LESS THE
LAST FEW WEEKS.
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
SEAN McDERMOTT SAID, "WELL,
THAT'S BECAUSE OF WHO WE WERE
PLAYING.
WE ARE STILL A BLITZING TEAM."
THEY HAD JUST 7 SACKS OVER THE
LAST 4 GAMES COMING INTO THIS
ONE.
>> YEAH, I THINK KEVIN GILBRIDE
SAID, YOU KNOW, "THEY REALLY
DIDN'T BLITZ US MUCH LAST TIME.
BUT DON'T FOOL YOURSELF.
THIS IS A BLITZING DEFENSE.
AND SO WE GO INTO EVERY GAME
EXPECTING PRESSURE."
>> THIRD DOWN AND 7.
HERE'S A BLITZ.
ELI MANNING BACKING UP AS HE
LETS IT GO.
FLAG DOWN.
MANNING, TOUCHDOWN TO
MANNINGHAM.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
AND NOW A FIGHT BREAKS OUT
AROUND THE 32-YARD LINE.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
McKENZIE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF
IT.
WE'LL CHECK THE FLAG.
MANNINGHAM GOT BEHIND THE
DEFENSE FOR A 35-YARD TOUCHDOWN,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL STAND.
LET'S GET THE CALL FROM
JOHN PARRY.
>> PRIOR TO THE PASS BEING
THROWN, ILLEGAL CONTACT,
DEFENSE, NUMBER 23.
THAT PENALTY WILL BE DECLINED.
THE RESULT OF THE PLAY,
TOUCHDOWN.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> WELL, HERE IS THE ROUTE
AGAINST DIMITRI PATTERSON.
HE'S BEEN CALLED FOR A FEW OF
THESE IN RECENT WEEKS, AND A
GOOD CALL, GOOD THROW, GOOD
EXECUTION.
IN THE MIDDLE, SHAUN O'HARA,
HE'S STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT
HERE ON THE EARLY GOING.
WE MENTIONED HE'S MISSED THE
LAST 6 GAMES.
HE'S BEEN BEAT NOW A COUPLE
TIMES INSIDE AND HAS GIVEN UP
SOME HITS, AND HE'S GIVEN UP
SOME PRESSURE ON ELI MANNING.
>> IT'S ONLY O'HARA'S FIFTH GAME
OF THE YEAR.
HE'S HAD FOOT PROBLEMS.
A MIDFOOT SPRAIN, AND HE'S GOT
HIS HANDS FULL.
THE GIANTS LEAD IT, 7-0.
AND TYNES KICKS IT AWAY WITH
CALVIN ON THE RETURN.
AND NOW HE FLIPS TO
RILEY COOPER.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
McCOY GETS IT.
AND GOES RIGHT DOWN.
KENNY PHILLIPS, FIRST GUY THERE.
GOFF WAS IN ON THE TACKLE.
>> GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT
WHY THAT FIGHT BROKE OUT.
RIGHT GUARD CHRIS SNEE, AND HE'S
ENGAGED THERE WITH...
YOU SAY IT, JOE.
>> DANIEL TE'O-NESHEIM.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
BUT, ANYWAY, SNEE WENT BACK
AFTER HIM AT THE END OF THAT
PLAY, AND THAT'S WHEN THE FIGHT
ENSUED.
>> HARRISON NOW IN AT TAILBACK
ON SECOND AND 9.
GOOD PROTECTION FOR VICK.
AND OVER THE MIDDLE FINDS HIS
MAN, AND THAT'S HARRISON.
A GAIN OF 6.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE
GIANTS ARE DOING IS THEY'RE
MATCHING UP ON THE OUTSIDE.
COREY WEBSTER WILL BE GOING --
AS THERE IS ANOTHER SCUFFLE OUT
HERE -- BUT COREY WEBSTER WILL
BE GOING WITH DeSEAN JACKSON
THROUGHOUT THIS GAME.
AND ON THE FLIP SIDE,
TERRELL THOMAS, HE'LL BE MATCHED
UP WITH JEREMY MACLIN.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THEY ALSO
DID IN THE FIRST MATCHUP.
NOW, WHAT WE HAVE SEEN OF THE
GIANTS DEFENSIVELY HERE IN THIS
GAME IS THEY'RE PLAYING FIVE
DEFENSIVE BACKS, SIX DEFENSIVE
BACKS, THEY'RE BRINGING A LOT OF
PRESSURE, AND THEY'RE HANGING
THESE CORNERS OUT ONE-ON-ONE
WITHOUT MUCH HELP, ALTHOUGH IT
LOOKS LIKE -- NO, GOING BACK TO
ONE-ON-ONE HERE, AS WELL.
>> ON THIRD AND 3.
PASS IS JUGGLED AND DROPPED BY
AVANT.
AARON ROSS ALL OVER HIM.
WILL BLACKMON WAITING FOR THE
PUNT FROM ROCCA.
AND THIS ONE IS BLOWN
OUT OF BOUNDS.
7-0, GIANTS.
STARTING AT THEIR 30 AND THE
GIANTS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RUN
THE BALL AT ALL HERE WITH 1:50
LEFT IN THE OPENING QUARTER.
HERE IS JACOBS.
BEST OF THE DAY, FIRST DOWN AS
BRANDON JACOBS CARRIES FOR 11.
>> JUST AN OFF-TACKLE RUN BY
BRANDON JACOBS.
THEY COME UP WITH THE PRESSURE
RIGHT OVER THE CENTER.
BUT IT'S A SLANT BY THE
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES, AND THEY
SLANTED THEMSELVES RIGHT OUT OF
THE HOLE.
BRANDON JACOBS, WHO HAS BEEN
RUNNING THE FOOTBALL AWFULLY
WELL SINCE HE TOOK OVER AGAIN AS
THE STARTER.
BUT LAST WEEK, STILL JUST
14 CARRIES.
HE'S NOT GETTING OVERWORKED AND
HASN'T THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.
>> OUT OF THE SHOTGUN, MANNING
THROWS, BOSS.
INCOMPLETE.
UP TO GRAB IT, MISSED IT.
>> THAT WAS A GOOD READ BY
ELI MANNING AND HAD A SHOT RIGHT
UP THE SEAM.
JAMAR CHANEY, HE HAD TO NAVIGATE
THE THROW OVER HIS HEAD.
LOOKS LIKE HE PUT IT IN A PLACE
WHERE KEVIN BOSS HAD A CHANCE TO
MAKE THAT CATCH.
WE'LL SEE HERE.
HE HAD TO GO UP FOR IT BUT ONE
THAT HE NORMALLY MAKES.
WE TALKED ABOUT HIM A LITTLE BIT
LAST WEEK, KEVIN BOSS, THAT IS,
AND HE HAS AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO
MAKE A PLAY WHEN IT NEEDS TO BE
MADE.
AND THOSE TYPES OF CATCHES ARE
THE ONES HE USUALLY MAKES.
>> TO THE FAR SIDELINE, IT'S
NICKS AND A GOOD PLAY OUT THERE
IN COVERAGE.
DIMITRI PATTERSON, SOLID TACKLE,
A GAIN OF 2.
AND IT'S THIRD AND 8 COMING UP.
>> WELL, NOW THEY'RE FACED WITH
ANOTHER THIRD DOWN.
AND TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY HAD TO
BE BETTER THAN THEY HAVE BEEN
ON THIS DOWN TO WIN THIS GAME.
ONE, IT KEEPS THE BALL IN THEIR
HANDS AND THE ABILITY TO KEEP
A DRIVE ALIVE AND GET POINTS.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT KEEPS
THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES OFFENSE
AND MICHAEL VICK OVER ON THE
SIDELINES.
ELI MANNING CAME INTO THIS GAME
AS ONE OF THE WORST-RATED
PASSERS ON THIRD DOWN.
BUT HE'S BEEN GOOD HERE IN THE
EARLY GOING.
>> HE'S CONVERTED THREE
STRAIGHT.
ON THIRD AND 8, JUST A 4-MAN
RUSH, AND IT'S BATTED INTO THE
AIR.
MIKELL WITH THE INTERCEPTION.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
DARRYL TAPP GOT HIS HAND ON IT,
AND QUINTIN MIKELL MADE THE
INTERCEPTION AND NOW EACH
QUARTERBACK'S THROWN ONE.
>> IT'S A GREAT JOB BY
DARRYL TAPP.
WE SAW JASON PIERRE-PAUL DO IT A
LITTLE BIT EARLIER FOR THE
GIANTS.
HE BASICALLY DID THE SAME THING.
BUT QUINTIN MIKELL, JUST A GREAT
REACTION ON HIS PART AND BEING
ABLE TO MAKE A NICE PLAY ON
THAT.
THAT GOES DOWN AS AN
INTERCEPTION ON ELI MANNING.
BUT YOU CAN'T FAULT THE
QUARTERBACK FOR THAT ONE.
>> FOR MIKELL, THAT'S HIS THIRD
INTERCEPTION.
AND, AS YOU SAID, A GREAT
ATHLETIC PLAY JUST TO COME DOWN
WITH IT CLEANLY.
BUT IT WAS TAPP WHO MADE THE
PLAY.
ELI MANNING NOW HAS THROWN THE
MOST INTERCEPTIONS ACROSS THE
NFL.
IT'S ANOTHER GIVEAWAY FOR THIS
GIANTS OFFENSE AND THAT TIES A
CAREER HIGH, WHICH WAS SET IN
'07, A GREAT YEAR FOR GIANTS.
THEY WON IT ALL,
20 INTERCEPTIONS THROWN BY
MANNING.
14 SECONDS LEFT IN THE FIRST
QUARTER.
VICK TO HIS LEFT.
WILL PULL IT DOWN AND RUN.
AND HE IS SHOVED OUT OF BOUNDS,
AND A FLAG WILL BE THROWN.
IT'S BEEN AN ISSUE HERE
CERTAINLY IN RECENT WEEKS.
AND ANDY REID HAS HAD TO WORK
OFFICIATING CREWS LIKE A
BASKETBALL COACH LOOKING FOR A
FOUL WITH ALL THESE HITS.
>> PERSONAL FOUL, LATE HIT, OUT
OF BOUNDS, NUMBER 54, DEFENSE.
15-YARD PENALTY.
THAT'S AN AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN.
>> AND THAT'S A GOOD CALL.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MICHAEL VICK
IS OUT OF BOUNDS WHEN
JONATHAN GOFF COMES OUT AND THEN
SHOVES HIM AGAIN.
I WAS GOING TO SAY YOU CALLED
IT, JOE.
ANDY REID HAS TALKED ABOUT IT
ALL WEEK LONG -- ACTUALLY FOR
THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS IS HOW
MICHAEL VICK IS NOT AFFORDED THE
SAME QUARTERBACK PROTECTION AS
OTHER QUARTERBACKS IN THE LEAGUE
BECAUSE OF HIS STYLE OF PLAY.
THAT PLAY THERE, ANY QUARTERBACK
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT CALL,
AND IT'S ONE ANDY REID HAS BEEN
WANTING FOR A LONG TIME.
>> VICK, OVER THE MIDDLE, HITS
McCOY.
INSIDE THE 15 TO THE 14, A GAIN
OF 5 AND BACK TO THAT PENALTY
AND EVENTUALLY THE HIT BY GOFF
ON MICHAEL VICK AS JACKSON WAS
ONE OF THE INTENDED TARGETS.
>> WELL, RIGHT OFF THE TURNOVER,
THE EAGLES DO WHAT THEY LIKE TO
DO AND TRY TO TAKE A SHOT DOWN
THE FIELD.
AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GET THE
BALL DOWN THE FIELD TO
DeSEAN JACKSON.
I THOUGHT THE GIANTS DEFENSIVELY
REALLY DID A NICE JOB IN
COVERAGE.
CORNELLY RIGHT THERE TO GET THE
SHOT OF VICK AS HE CAME OFF THE
FIELD ON THAT PERSONAL FOUL.
>> VICK LED WITH HIS HELMET ON
CORNELLY, BUT NO FLAG.
SECOND DOWN.
McCOY.
GOOD PLAY, ANTREL ROLLE, GAIN OF
1.
>> I LIKE WHAT THE GIANTS HAVE
DONE HERE DEFENSIVELY.
AND ANTREL ROLLE, THIS GUY IS
JUST A COMPLETE PLAYER.
HE REALLY IS.
HE'S A GOOD COVER GUY.
HE'S MADE THE TRANSITION TO
SAFETY.
HE'S BEEN EXCELLENT THERE.
BUT HE IS -- HE'S AS GOOD A
TACKLER AS MOST LINEBACKERS.
AND PERRY FEWELL HAS GOT HIS
GROUP READY TO GO.
>> THIRD AND 4.
BLITZ FROM THE GIANTS.
VICK IN TROUBLE.
DOWN HE GOES.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
ROCKY BERNARD FROM THE MIDDLE,
ANTREL ROLLE COMING UP ON A
BLITZ.
PHILLIPS IN THERE, AS WELL.
>> YEAH, HE PUTS A MOVE ON
JASON PETERS, THE LEFT TACKLE.
STARTS LIKE HE'S GONNA
SPEED-RUSH HIM OVER THE TOP AND
THEN COMES UNDERNEATH HIM
BECAUSE HE SAW WHERE
MICHAEL VICK WAS IN THE POCKET.
YOU SEE HE STARTS UP, COMES
UNDERNEATH.
THAT'S JUST GREAT PRESSURE
INSIDE.
AND THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THAT
WITH ANTREL ROLLE, DEON GRANT.
THEY'VE BEEN BRINGING SECONDARY
PLAYERS THROUGHOUT THE FIRST
HALF.
>> 34-YARD TRY BY AKERS
IS GOOD.
D.J. WARE, WHO IS A BACKUP
TAILBACK, HAS KIND OF GIVEN THE
GIANTS A LITTLE LIFT RETURNING
KICKS.
AND HE'LL GET A CHANCE TO DO IT
HERE.
FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE 5.
ACROSS THE 25, KNOCKED DOWN AT
THE 27.
HERE'S BRADSHAW.
AHMAD BRADSHAW TRIPPED UP AFTER
A GAIN OF 5.
BRADSHAW.
FIRST DOWN.
OUT TO THE 40, WRAPPED UP BY
CHANEY.
>> THEY DO A GOOD JOB ON THE
INSIDE.
SHAUN O'HARA, WHO IS GETTING HIS
SEA LEGS BACK UNDERNEATH HIM,
YOU'RE GONNA SEE HIM AT CENTER,
AND THEY WORK THE DOUBLE TEAM
HERE WITH HIS GUARD.
BUT THEN HE'S ABLE TO GET UP TO
THE SECOND LEVEL.
HE GETS ON THE ROOKIE
JAMAR CHANEY.
THAT'S A NICE GAIN.
JAMAR CHANEY ULTIMATELY COMES
OFF THAT BLOCK AND MAKES THE
TACKLE, BUT NOT UNTIL THEY PICK
UP THE FIRST DOWN.
>> GETTING HIS SEA LEGS
UNDERNEATH HIM.
>> YOU LIKE THAT?
>> [ LAUGHS ]
IF YOU'RE SIX GAMES, YOU GOT TO
GET YOUR SEA LEGS BACK.
>> DON'T FORGET THAT.
YOU GOT TO GET MORE THAN THAT.
>> ON FIRST DOWN, BRADSHAW
AGAIN.
OUT NEAR MIDFIELD, A RUN OF
9 YARDS.
>> THEY'RE GETTING THAT RUNNING
GAME GOING RIGHT NOW, INSIDE.
SHAUN O'HARA AND THEN THE RIGHT
GUARD CHRIS SNEE SEALS IT OFF.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE
PENETRATION THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN
BOTH IN THE FIRST QUARTER AND
THEN GOING BACK TO THE LAST TIME
THESE TWO TEAMS MET.
>> THAT'S THREE STRAIGHT FROM
BRADSHAW.
NOW BRANDON JACOBS BACK IN THE
GAME.
>> WHAT A LUXURY.
>> PASS CAUGHT BY BECKUM FOR A
FIRST DOWN.
TRAVIS BECKUM MAKES HIS 13th
CATCH OF THE YEAR.
YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT THIS
RUN GAME AND HOW THE EAGLES
SHUT THEM DOWN ON NOVEMBER 21st
IN PHILADELPHIA.
TOTAL OF 61 RUSH YARDS AND THE
TWO BACKS WERE JUST COMPLETELY
SHUT DOWN, UNDER 40 COMBINED
YARDS.
BUT SINCE THEN, JACOBS HAS TAKEN
OVER AS THE STARTER.
AND THE RUNNING GAME IS
AVERAGING OVER 180 YARDS A GAME
DURING THIS 3-GAME WIN STREAK.
HERE IS JACOBS.
TO THE 45.
GAIN OF 1.
>> HOW ABOUT WHAT
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
KEVIN GILBRIDE'S HAD TO DEAL
WITH THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON AND
NOW THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT
HE'S FACED THE EAGLES, SOMEWHAT
SHORT-HANDED.
STEVE SMITH DIDN'T PLAY THE LAST
TIME THESE TWO TEAMS MET.
OF COURSE HE'S NOT PLAYING AGAIN
HERE TODAY.
AND THEN WITH THE SHUFFLING
ALONG THE OFFENSIVE LINE, THE
INJURIES THAT WE'RE AWARE OF AT
WIDE RECEIVER, IT'S HARD.
IT'S HARD EVERY WEEK, FIRST
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO IS
GOING TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO
PLAY IN THE GAME, AND THEN
TRYING TO FORMULATE A GAME PLAN
THAT CAN BE SUCCESSFUL, AND HE'S
BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
>> BLITZ COMING FROM THE
EAGLES.
JACOBS CAN'T AVOID IT.
CHANEY MAKES THE PLAY AND A LOSS
OF 3.
>> BOTH THESE DEFENSES, THOUGH,
ARE DOING A GOOD JOB,
ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE
TURNOVER.
COMING INTO THE GAME,
TOM COUGHLIN TOLD US, JOE, HE
FELT VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT THE
GIANTS DEFENSIVELY MATCHING UP
AGAINST THE EAGLES OFFENSE.
LAST TIME THEY DID A NICE JOB
NOT GIVING UP A LOT OF POINTS.
THEY'RE ABLE TO HOLD
PHILADELPHIA AFTER THE TURNOVER
TO JUST A FIELD GOAL.
THE EAGLES DEFENSE, ON THE OTHER
HAND, WHEN THEY HAD A TURNOVER
OFFENSIVELY, THEY HOLD THE
GIANTS TO NO POINTS.
>> AND IT'S THIRD AND 12.
MANNING STEPS UP, SLIDES TO HIS
RIGHT.
FINDS A MAN, NICKS, FIRST DOWN.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
COLEMAN ON THE STOP, BUT A
COMPLETION OF 15 YARDS.
>> GIANTS ARE KIND OF WORKING
THAT CORNER THERE.
GOT NICKS ON THE INSIDE.
HE GOES TO THE OUTSIDE, AND
ELI MANNING JUST PUTS IT RIGHT
ON HIM.
HE'S GOT A NICE CUSHION.
SEE KURT COLEMAN.
HE'S THE SAFETY WHO'S IN
COVERAGE.
AND THE GIANTS RUN A NICE
COMBINATION THERE FOR THE FIRST
DOWN.
>> PLAY-ACTION FOR MANNING.
THAT WORKS WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD
RUN GAME, AND THE PASS COMPLETE.
MANNINGHAM, HE ALREADY HAS ONE
AND NOW ANOTHER.
TOUCHDOWN, GIANTS.
>> IT'S A DEEP CURL ROUTE BY
MARIO MANNINGHAM.
DIMITRI PATTERSON, HE'S PLAYING
SOFT.
PRETTY SIMPLE ROUTE.
YOU JUST GOT TO MAKE THAT
TACKLE.
NOTHING DIFFICULT ABOUT IT.
EASY PITCH AND CATCH THERE BY
ELI MANNING, MARIO MANNINGHAM.
BUT DIMITRI PATTERSON, WHO
ALREADY GOT BEAT FOR THE FIRST
TOUCHDOWN, FAILS TO MAKE THE
TACKLE ON THIS ONE.
>> LINE-DRIVE KICK IS GOOD.
MANNING, 10-FOR-16, 135 YARDS,
2 TOUCHDOWNS, 1 INTERCEPTION.
JORRICK CALVIN ON THE RETURN.
OUT ACROSS THE 25.
THAT'S IT.
ON THE GROUND, McCOY, TO THE 30.
THAT'S IT.
CANTY ON THE STOP.
SECOND AND 6.
BLITZ COMING, PASS IS CAUGHT.
THAT'S MACLIN, AND HE IS WRAPPED
UP A YARD SHY OF A FIRST DOWN.
THOMAS WITH THE COVERAGE.
>> TELL YOU, THE GIANTS REALLY
HAVEN'T DISGUISED WHAT IT IS
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO IN THIS
GAME.
THEY CONTINUE TO BRING PRESSURE
OFF THE EDGES.
AND ANTREL ROLLE, AGAIN ON THAT
PLAY, AND SO THEY'RE REALLY
LEAVING THESE CORNERS.
TERRELL THOMAS, COREY WEBSTER
OUT ON SOME AWFULLY TALENTED
RECEIVERS, ONE-ON-ONE.
YOU JUST WONDER, OKAY, IS
MICHAEL VICK EVENTUALLY GOING TO
GET ENOUGH TIME IN THE POCKET TO
TRY TO TAKE A SHOT DOWN THE
FIELD?
SO FAR THE GIANTS HAVE REALLY
DONE A NICE JOB MATCHING UP AND
NOT GIVING THEM ANYTHING.
>> DeSEAN JACKSON IN THE
BACKFIELD.
THEY FAKE THE HAND-OFF, AND
MICHAEL VICK WILL WORK THE
SIDELINE FOR A FIRST DOWN.
GETS SHOVED BY TUCK, NO FLAG.
A RUN OF 9 YARDS AND FIRST DOWN
AND THE FIRST THIRD-DOWN
CONVERSION BY THE EAGLES IN THIS
GAME.
>> THAT WAS ANOTHER CLOSE ONE BY
JUSTIN TUCK.
AND JUST TO BE CERTAIN, HE WENT
OVER AND SHOWED NICK COLE THERE,
NUMBER 59, THAT -- WHERE THE
WHITE LINE WAS, RIGHT AT THE END
OF THIS PLAY.
[ LAUGHS ]
>> SO, NICK COLE WAS SAYING
SOMETHING TO HIM ON HIS WAY BACK
ONTO THE FIELD.
NO FLAG.
HARRISON IN THE GAME, AND HE
GETS IT.
THE GUY THE EAGLES PICKED UP
IN-SEASON IN A TRADE FROM THE
BROWNS PICKS UP 3.
>> HERE YOU SEE AT THE END OF
THAT, JUSTIN TUCK, HE KNOWS.
THEY'RE GOING TO CERTAINLY BE AS
AGGRESSIVE AS THEY CAN WHEN IT
COMES TO MICHAEL VICK AND GET
THE HITS.
ANDY REID, UNLIKE LAST WEEK, WAS
NOT RUNNING DOWN THE SIDELINE
WANTING TO GET THE CALL ON THAT
ONE.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> SECOND AND 7.
VICK FAKED IT TO THE LEFT SIDE,
COMES TO THE NEAR SIDE, AND
McCOY SWALLOWED UP.
GOFF WAS OUT THERE FIRST.
TUCK MAKES THE STOP.
A LOSS OF 1.
>> GREAT TEAM DEFENSE RIGHT
THERE.
FIRST, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A
LITTLE BIT OF PRESSURE INSIDE.
BUT THEN THEY RALLY TO THE
FOOTBALL VERY WELL.
HAD THREE GUYS THERE TO MAKE A
TACKLE.
AND A THIRD DOWN HERE WHERE THE
EAGLES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR HAVE
BEEN VERY GOOD.
THE GIANTS DOING A GOOD JOB
GETTING OFF THE FIELD HERE IN
THIS FIRST HALF.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> THIRD DOWN AND 8, AND
THEY'RE ALL COMING AFTER VICK.
DOWN HE GOES.
TUCK WITH A SACK.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
AND VICK GETS UP LIMPING OFF THE
FIELD.
>> REALLY WASN'T BAD PROTECTION.
BUT YOU'RE GONNA SEE
MICHAEL VICK.
HE STARTS TO MOVE THAT WAY, AND
HE KIND OF RUNS HIMSELF INTO IT.
HAD MICHAEL VICK STEPPED UP IN
THE POCKET, HE HAD A NICE POCKET
THERE TO DELIVER THE FOOTBALL.
BUT HE RAN HIMSELF RIGHT INTO
JUSTIN TUCK.
>> 9 1/2 ON THE YEAR FOR TUCK.
GOOD PUNT BY ROCCA.
BLACKMON FROM THE 15.
GOOD RETURN.
OUT TO THE 38.
MANNING TO THE NEAR SIDE.
DROPPED BY NICKS.
HIT BY PATTERSON.
>> I'M GONNA GO BACK AND TAKE A
LOOK AT WHAT THE GIANTS ARE
DOING DEFENSIVELY.
HERE'S COREY WEBSTER.
THEY'RE GETTING THEIR HANDS ON
THESE RECEIVERS.
THEY'RE DOING A GOOD JOB OF
DISRUPTING THE TIMING A LITTLE
BIT.
HERE IS TERRELL THOMAS ON
JEREMY MACLIN.
AND THE GIANTS ALSO THIS TIME
THEY LINE JUSTIN TUCK UP ON THE
SAME SIDE AS OSI UMENYIORA.
THEY HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE.
BUT YOU SEE, THEY'RE ABLE TO GET
THE PRESSURE THEN ON
MICHAEL VICK.
AND A LOT OF TIMES YOU'D SAY,
"WELL, THE REASON THEY'RE NOT
THROWING THE BALL MORE
EFFECTIVELY IS BECAUSE OF THE
PASS RUSH."
I THINK HERE THIS AFTERNOON IT'S
HAD MORE TO DO WITH THE JOB OF
THESE CORNERS IN COVERAGE.
>> HERE IS JACOBS OVER THE RIGHT
SIDE ON SECOND AND 10.
PICKS UP 2.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE
GIANTS WANT TO OVERLOAD THAT
SIDE WITH ALL THEIR TALENT, OR
AT LEAST THE BETTER PASS RUSHERS
WITH TUCK AND UMENYIORA, IS THAT
WINSTON JUSTICE IS INACTIVE FOR
THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE WEEK AT
RIGHT TACKLE.
SO, KING DUNLAP IS IN THERE, AND
THEY ARE TESTING THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR
PHILLY.
MEANWHILE, IT IS THIRD DOWN AND
8 HERE FOR THE GIANTS.
EAGLES NEED TO MAKE A STOP.
MANNING HAS A MAN, HAGAN.
FIRST DOWN AND MORE.
DEREK HAGAN HAS BEEN WORKED MORE
AND MORE INTO THE OFFENSE.
16 YARDS AND ANOTHER THIRD-DOWN
CONVERSION FOR THIS GIANTS
OFFENSE.
>> WELL, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
EAGLES ARE NOT BLITZING AS MUCH
AS WHAT THEY HAVE AT OTHER
TIMES.
BUT THEY DIALED UP THE BLITZ
THEN.
THE GIANTS, THEY JUST PICKED IT
UP NICELY.
ELI MANNING WITH A CLEAN POCKET.
DEREK HAGAN, OUT OF FOOTBALL NOT
TOO LONG AGO.
IN FACT, I VISITED WITH HIM
BEFORE THE GAME ON THE FIELD.
AND HE WAS PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT
EVENTUALLY HE'D GET A SHOT.
HE SAID HE WORKED OUT.
WAS OUT THERE IN CALIFORNIA,
STILL CONTINUING TO KEEP HIMSELF
IN SHAPE, HOPING THAT SOMEBODY
WOULD NEED A WIDE RECEIVER.
THE GIANTS CALLED, AND HERE HE
IS.
>> HERE'S JACOBS TO THE 40.
WE KEEP REFERENCING THE TOP
THIRD-DOWN RECEIVER AND
STATISTICALLY THE TOP THIRD-DOWN
RECEIVER LAST YEAR WHEN HE WENT
TO THE PRO BOWL, STEVE SMITH,
WHO WAS SUCH A SECURITY BLANKET
ON THIRD DOWNS FOR ELI MANNING.
NOW, SMITH IS OUT FOR THE REST
OF THE YEAR WITH A TORN
ARTICULAR CARTILAGE IN HIS LEFT
KNEE.
AND THAT'S A BIG PIECE OF THIS
OFFENSIVE PUZZLE NOT THERE FOR
ELI MANNING.
>> WELL, WE SAID COMING IN,
ELI MANNING WAS GOING TO HAVE TO
PLAY WELL IN THIS GAME.
AND BOY, HAS HE.
HE IS THROWING THE BALL AND
LOOKING VERY SHARP HERE IN THE
FIRST HALF.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 6.
DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND
NEARLY PICKED OFF.
NICKS, THE INTENDED RECEIVER.
AND DIMITRI PATTERSON WAS THERE
FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER
PICK.
>> THAT'S THE ONE THROW THAT ELI
SEEMS TO HAVE EACH WEEK, AND
HE'S THROWING, YOU KNOW, OFF HIS
BACK FOOT.
AND WHEN YOU TRY TO THROW A DEEP
POST, FALLING BACKWARDS, THAT'S
HARD TO DO.
AND DIMITRI PATTERSON, WHO HAS
BEEN TORCHED ALREADY A COUPLE OF
TIMES FOR A TOUCHDOWN, HE CAN'T
CATCH THE BALL FOR AN
INTERCEPTION.
BUT THAT'S ONE THAT HE HAS TO
MAKE.
BUT IT'S ONE THAT ELI MANNING
SHOULD HAVE NEVER EVEN
ATTEMPTED.
>> THIRD AND 6.
BLITZ COMING.
BRADSHAW UNDERNEATH, ROOM TO
RUN.
GOOD PLAY CALL BY GILBRIDE.
FIRST DOWN AT THE 29.
FIRST DOWN.
1:56 LEFT.
EACH TEAM WITH THREE TIME-OUTS
REMAINING AS BRADSHAW TAKES IT
TO THE 25.
>> GIANTS RIGHT HERE, I MEAN,
THEY GOT A CHANCE TO PUT THE
NAIL IN THE COFFIN HERE IN THE
FIRST HALF, GO UP 21-3.
>> HERE'S HAGAN AGAIN WITH A
FIRST DOWN INSIDE THE 15.
AND ELI MANNING IS STARTING TO
PICK APART THIS EAGLES
SECONDARY.
THAT'S GOOD FOR 11.
AND A TIME-OUT IS TAKEN BY
TOM COUGHLIN AND THE GIANTS.
>> THEY'VE JUST DONE A NICE JOB
OF CONVERTING ON THIRD DOWN,
KEEPING DRIVES ALIVE AND THEN,
YOU KNOW, ELI WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THE DEEP POST THAT HE TRIED
TO THROW, HE'S BEEN VERY SHARP
IN HIS DECISION-MAKING.
AND AHMAD BRADSHAW COMES UP AND
THAT'S THE ONE AREA WHERE
AHMAD -- HE REALLY NEEDED TO
IMPROVE, AND HE HAS IS IN HIS
PASS PROTECTION.
OF COURSE, AN EXCELLENT RUNNER,
AND THE FUMBLES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
A CONCERN.
HE COULD GET BETTER IN THAT
AREA, AS WELL.
BUT IT'S AN AREA -- WHEN THEY
LOST DERRICK WARD -- THE GIANTS,
THAT IS -- A COUPLE YEARS AGO,
THEY NEVER ADDRESSED THAT
THIRD-DOWN BACK.
BUT AHMAD BRADSHAW HAS
CONTINUALLY IMPROVED AS A PASS
PROTECTOR, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT
FOR THAT GUY.
>> 1:20 LEFT.
GIANTS ALREADY UP 11.
EMPTY BACKFIELD.
MANNING OVER THE MIDDLE.
HITS MANNINGHAM.
AND A GAIN OF 4.
AND NOW THEY START TO SCUFFLE
AGAIN.
MEANWHILE, THERE IS AN INJURED
PLAYER DOWN ON THE FIELD.
MANNINGHAM IS SLOW TO GET UP.
NOW NATE ALLEN, THE ROOKIE
STARTER AT FREE SAFETY, IS
CARTED OFF WITH SOME INJURY TO
HIS RIGHT KNEE.
>> AND NATE ALLEN HAS REALLY HAD
A NICE ROOKIE SEASON, AND THEY
WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT HIM
AT THE START OF THE SEASON.
HE PLAYED SO AGGRESSIVELY, WAS
SO INTENSE.
THEY WERE AFRAID HE WAS GONNA
BURN OUT.
IT'S A LONG SEASON FOR ANYBODY,
BUT ESPECIALLY FOR A ROOKIE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT INJURY IS
EXACTLY, IN A GREAT DEAL OF
PAIN, BUT HE'S BEEN A SOLID
PLAYER FOR THIS TEAM ALL YEAR.
>> SECOND AND 6.
MANNING THROWS, HAS MANNINGHAM,
AND ON SECOND AND 6, A GAIN OF
3.
ASANTE SAMUEL ON THE STOP.
PHILADELPHIA HAD TO USE A
TIME-OUT WITH NATE ALLEN DOWN ON
THE GROUND.
SO, EACH SIDE HAS TWO REMAINING.
IT IS THIRD AND 3.
>> YOU GOT TO BE IMPRESSED WITH
WHAT MARIO MANNINGHAM HAS DONE
HERE IN THE FIRST HALF, KNOWING
THE TEAM NEEDED A BIG GAME FROM
HIM.
HE HAS PROVIDED THAT.
>> GIANTS HAVE CONVERTED SIX OF
THEIR LAST SEVEN THIRD DOWNS.
BLITZ.
MANNING OFF HIS BACK FOOT.
INCOMPLETE FOR BOSS.
WELL COVERED BY QUINTIN MIKELL,
WHO HAS AN INTERCEPTION IN THIS
HALF.
AND SO A HOLD THERE ON THIRD AND
3 DEFENSIVELY FOR PHILADELPHIA.
THEY NEEDED IT.
>> THEY GOT THE FREE RUSHER,
AND ELI, I MEAN, THAT'S A GOOD
PLAY BY QUINTIN MIKELL.
BUT ELI MANNING PUT IT RIGHT
WHERE HE HAD TO PUT IT IN ORDER
TO GIVE HIS TIGHT END AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A PLAY.
THAT'S A GOOD STOP THERE BY
PHILADELPHIA.
>> THIS TO MAKE IT A 14-POINT
GAME.
25-YARD TRY BY TYNES, WHO HAS
NOW MADE 15 STRAIGHT.
AND IT'S A 14-POINT GAME.
STILL TIME LEFT, 48 SECONDS AND
2 TIME-OUTS FOR THE EAGLES,
TRAILING BY 14.
JORRICK CALVIN WAITS FOR THE
KICK FROM LAWRENCE TYNES.
CHANCE FOR A RETURN.
CALVIN FROM THE 4.
LITTLE JUGGLE AT THE START, AND
HE CAN'T MAKE IT TO THE 20.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
GERRIS WILKINSON MADE THE
TACKLE.
AND A RETURN OF JUST 13 YARDS.
SO, STARTING AT THEIR OWN 17.
VICK'S IN TROUBLE.
STAYS UPRIGHT.
AND HIS LEGS GAVE OUT ON HIM
AFTER HE CROSSED THE LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE, A GAIN OF 1.
PRESSURE BY TUCK.
>> THEY JUST CAME OFF THE EDGE
AGAIN WITH PRESSURE AND TRIED
TO SORT THROUGH ALL THAT, BUT IT
HAS BEEN CONSISTENT PRESSURE BY
SECONDARY PLAYERS THE ENTIRE
HALF.
>> HERE'S MACLIN.
HE MAKES A CATCH.
THE BALL COMES OUT.
THEY'RE SAYING CATCH AND FUMBLE.
RETURN BY PHILLIPS.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
ANY REVIEW WOULD BE A BOOTH
REVIEW.
MICHAEL VICK THINKS THAT MACLIN
WAS DOWN.
THERE'S THE CATCH.
THE BALL IS COMING OUT.
PLAY WAS MADE BY TERRELL THOMAS.
ON THE TACKLE, HIS KNEE IS NOT
DOWN, AND THAT BALL IS COMING
OUT.
>> WELL, IT'S COMING OUT, JOE.
I THINK THE QUESTION IS, DID HE
EVER ACTUALLY SECURE THE CATCH?
THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THE BALL
WAS OUT BEFORE HE GOES TO THE
GROUND.
BUT I'M NOT SO SURE THAT HE EVER
ACTUALLY HAD POSSESSION OF THE
BALL.
THAT'S CLOSE.
>> IT IS CLOSE.
AND REMEMBER, THE CALL ON THE
FIELD IS CATCH AND FUMBLE.
HERE'S THE CALL.
>> AFTER REVIEWING THE PLAY,
THE PLAY STANDS AS CALLED ON THE
FIELD.
FIRST AND GOAL.
>> INTERESTING.
>> INTERESTING IN THAT
JOHN PARRY RULES AGAIN, AN
ELEMENT OF TIME.
THERE WAS ENOUGH ON THE CATCH
END OF IT AND THEN THE FUMBLE ON
THE BALL KNOCKED OUT BY
TERRELL THOMAS.
AND THIS COULD BE -- THIS IS A
HUGE TURNAROUND, A GIVEAWAY BY
MACLIN AND NOW WITH 9 SECONDS
LEFT.
TWO TIME-OUTS ON THE BOARD.
THE GIANTS TAKE OVER AT THE 8.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
NICKS ON THE NEAR SIDE.
THAT'S WHERE MANNING GOES!
FOR THE TOUCHDOWN!
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> WELL, DIMITRI PATTERSON, YOU
DON'T DO THIS AS A CORNER IN
THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE
WHEN YOU'RE BACKING UP INTO THE
END ZONE.
LOOK AT THE CUSHION RIGHT HERE
THAT HE'S GIVING HAKEEM NICKS.
THAT'S UNCONTESTED.
THE EAGLES CAME INTO THIS GAME
AS THE LAST-RANKED DEFENSE IN
RED ZONE DEFENSE.
AND ON THE FIRST PLAY AFTER THE
TURNOVER, ELI MANNING COMES
BACK, WORKS DIMITRI PATTERSON
AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH
HAKEEM NICKS.
AND THEY GET THE TOUCHDOWN.
>> THIS TO MAKE IT 24-3 WITH
5 SECONDS LEFT IN THE HALF.
WHAT A HALF BY THE GIANTS IN
THIS BATTLE FOR THE TOP SPOT
IN THE NFC EAST.
AND AT SOME POINT, WE NEED TO
TALK ABOUT PERRY FEWELL, WHO IS
THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR,
FIRST-YEAR DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
FOR TOM COUGHLIN.
THEY WERE TOGETHER IN
JACKSONVILLE.
AND AFTER BEING WITH BUFFALO
LAST YEAR, TAKING OVER AS THE
INTERIM HEAD COACH, FEWELL HAS
THIS DEFENSE PLAYING AT A LEVEL
LAST SEEN WHEN STEVE SPAGNUOLO
WAS COORDINATING THE DEFENSE FOR
TOM COUGHLIN, WHEN THEY WON IT
ALL IN '07.
1 SECOND LEFT IN THE HALF, AND
HERE IS THAT CATCH AND FUMBLE BY
MACLIN, FORCED BY THOMAS.
AND THE VERY NEXT PLAY, NICKS,
WITH A CUSHION.
TOUCHDOWN NUMBER 10 ON THE
SEASON FOR NUMBER 88.
AND THERE'S PERRY FEWELL.
EVERY TIME HE WALKS OUT OF OUR
MEETING ROOM, YOU THINK,
"THERE'S A GUY WHO IS GONNA BE A
HEAD COACH -- FORGET INTERIM."
AND HE IS WORKING HIS WAY TOWARD
THAT WITH THE JOB HE HAS DONE
WITH THIS GIANTS DEFENSE.
WHATEVER ANDY REID SAID AT
HALFTIME, THEY BETTER COME OUT
READY HERE TO START THE SECOND
HALF.
NOT BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE BALL
AT ALL ON OFFENSE.
FROM INSIDE THE 5,
JORRICK CALVIN ON THE RETURN.
PUSHES THE PILE ACROSS THE 25.
STILL WON'T GO DOWN.
AND HE'S MARKED AT THE 27.
THE EAGLES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO MOVE IT AGAINST THE
NUMBER-TWO DEFENSE IN THE NFL.
VICK CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE TO GO
AND NOW COMES UNDERNEATH TO
LeSEAN McCOY.
THIS ONE IS BATTED DOWN.
I BELIEVE CANTY GOT HIS HAND UP
AND KNOCKED IT AWAY.
>> THE EAGLES JUST HAVE BEEN
UNABLE TO REALLY GET ANYTHING
GOING AND ESTABLISH ANY
CONSISTENCY WITHIN THEIR
OFFENSE.
THEIR LONGEST POSSESSION THERE
IN THAT FIRST HALF WAS JUST SIX
PLAYS.
>> AND NOW IT'S THIRD AND 6.
THEY FAKE THE INSIDE HAND-OFF,
AND VICK IS SACKED AGAIN.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
JUSTIN TUCK.
>> JUSTIN TUCK AND THEN PICK
ANOTHER ONE.
THERE'S A BUNCH OF GUYS BACK
THERE.
BARRY COFIELD READY TO MAKE A
PLAY.
AND THAT'S IN ADDITION TO
WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING ON THE
BACK END WITH THE SECONDARY AND
THE EXCELLENT JOB THEY HAVE BEEN
DOING.
BEEN GETTING GREAT CONTRIBUTION
UP FRONT FROM THIS PASS RUSH, AS
YOU WOULD EXPECT.
>> THAT'S THE THIRD GIANT SACK
OF THE GAME.
TUCK HAS ONE AND A HALF OF THEM,
ALONG WITH FIVE TACKLES.
HERE IS BLACKMON.
DOES NOT GO DOWN EASILY.
GETS IT OUT TO THE 40.
THAT'S IT.
GIANTS' LAST THREE
POSSESSIONS -- A TOUCHDOWN, A
FIELD GOAL, A TOUCHDOWN.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
THEY START WITH JACOBS.
HE CARRIES IT FORWARD FOR 1.
TRENT COLE MADE THE STOP.
AND MICHAEL VICK HAS DONE A LOT
OF THAT.
ARMS TO THE SKY, WONDERING
WHAT'S GOING ON.
HE'S BEEN SACKED THREE TIMES,
AND THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON IN
THE PASS GAME FOR PHILADELPHIA.
>> IT IS A NEW YORK TEAM THAT
CAME INTO THIS GAME KNOWING THE
URGENCY THAT WAS BEFORE THEM.
HAVING LOST TO THE EAGLES IN
THEIR PREVIOUS MEETING, THIS WAS
REALLY A MUST-WIN FOR THE
NEW YORK GIANTS.
THE EAGLES COULD NOT CLINCH THE
DIVISION.
BUT FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES,
THEY WOULD HAVE OR WOULD IF THEY
WIN THIS GAME.
>> HERE IS BRADSHAW.
OUT TO MIDFIELD, A YARD SHY OF
A FIRST DOWN.
PARKER ON THE TACKLE.
>> I THINK THE GIANTS ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE BALL, WHETHER IT BE
DEFENSE AND THE WAY THEY HAVE
DOMINATED THIS BALLGAME, AND
THEN OFFENSIVELY, YOU KNOW, THE
EARLY GOING, HAD THE
INTERCEPTION.
DIDN'T GET MUCH GOING IN THE
NEXT COUPLE OF POSSESSIONS
OFFENSIVELY, BUT SINCE THAT
TIME, ELI MANNING HAS BEEN VERY
PRECISE IN HOW HE HAS THROWN THE
FOOTBALL, AND THEY'VE JUST
ATTACKED THIS DEFENSE EVERY
WHICH WAY.
>> THAT COMBO HELD FOR 39 RUSH
YARDS IN THE FIRST MEETING, 61
BETWEEN BRADSHAW AND JACOBS
TODAY.
HERE'S BRADSHAW.
AND HE WON'T GET IT.
GOOD PLAY UP FRONT BY THIS
EAGLES DEFENSE, AND THEY NEEDED
THAT.
A LOSS OF 1 ON THE PLAY.
YOU SEE COLE'S IN THERE ON THE
STOP.
BUT HE WASN'T ALONE.
>> THAT WAS A GREAT DEFENSIVE
SERIES RIGHT THERE BY THE
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES.
AND YOU SAID IT, JOE.
THEY NEEDED A STOP.
THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO ALLOW
THE GIANTS TO GO BACK DOWN THE
FIELD WITH GREAT FIELD POSITION
AND COME AWAY WITH ANY TYPE OF
POINTS ALREADY DOWN 24-3.
SOMETHING THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO
OR HAVE STRUGGLED TO DO
THROUGHOUT THIS GAME -- GET OFF
THE FIELD ON THIRD DOWN -- THEY
NOW HAVE DONE IT.
>> PLAYOFF PICTURE IN THE NFC IS
INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT.
WE'LL DO IT IF WE GET A CHANCE.
AS A FAIR CATCH HAULED IN BY
CALVIN.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
HAND-OFF IS TO McCOY.
AND HE PICKS HIS WAY FOR 11.
BOLEY ON THE TACKLE.
AND ANOTHER LITTLE SKIRMISH
BREAKS OUT BACK NEAR THE
ORIGINAL LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.
MAX JEAN-GILLES IS IN THERE,
ALONG WITH BERNARD.
BUT THE OTHER TEAMS THAT ARE IN
THAT MIX FOR THE WILD-CARD SPOT,
TAMPA BAY.
LAST TIME I LOOKED UP IN THE
FOX BOX, THEY WERE TRAILING TO
DETROIT.
THAT GAME IS BEING PLAYED IN
TAMPA.
AND THEN GREEN BAY, THEY'RE
WITHOUT AARON RODGERS, AND THEY
PLAY TONIGHT IN NEW ENGLAND, AND
THEY HAVE EIGHT WINS.
BOTH OF THESE TWO CLUBS COME IN
WITH NINE.
VICK STUMBLES.
SOMEHOW GETS IT TO McCOY.
AND LeSEAN McCOY FIGHTS HIS WAY
THROUGH A TUCK TACKLE
MOMENTARILY.
TUCK BRINGS HIM DOWN, A GAIN OF
3.
>> WELL, THE EAGLES HAVE
STRUGGLED TO REALLY GAIN ANY
CONSISTENCY THROWING THE
FOOTBALL.
SO, THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THE
RUNNING GAME GOING, AND THEY
WERE FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE THAT EXCHANGE BETWEEN VICK
AND McCOY.
BUT TRYING NOW TO RELY A LITTLE
BIT MORE ON THE RUNNING GAME AND
SEE IF THEY CAN'T START PICKING
UP SOME FIRST DOWNS AND GAIN A
LITTLE BIT OF CONFIDENCE HERE ON
THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL.
>> PENALTY FLAG FLIES AS VICK
FINDS HIS FULLBACK, SCHMITT.
AND OWEN IS WRESTLED FORWARD.
A TACKLE BY BULLUCK, A GAIN OF
6.
BUT A FLAG THROWN AT THE SNAP.
>> ILLEGAL FORMATION, OFFENSE.
THE TIGHT END WAS COVERED UP AT
THE SNAP.
5-YARD PENALTY.
WILL REPLAY SECOND DOWN.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OFF THE
6-YARD GAIN.
TOM COUGHLIN ACCEPTS THE
PENALTY, AND IT'S SECOND AND 11.
>> WELL, YOU SEE HIM THERE.
IT'S BRENT CELEK, AND HE'S ON
THE BALL, AND SO SOMEBODY THEN,
THE RECEIVER ON THAT SIDE, YOU
SAW HIM LOOK AT IT, HE'S GOT TO
THEN GET OFF THE BALL.
AND HE DID NOT.
AND THEY HAD TOO MANY MEN ON THE
LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, ILLEGAL
FORMATION.
>> SECOND AND 11.
HERE'S McCOY, AND INITIALLY
NOTHING THERE.
THEN TRYING THE RIGHT SIDE.
PHILLIPS ON THE TACKLE, A GAIN
OF 5.
AND A LITTLE MORE MANAGEABLE
THIRD DOWN COMING UP FOR
PHILADELPHIA BECAUSE OF THE
EFFORT OF LeSEAN McCOY.
>> AND BECAUSE OF THE SCORE, AS
YOU WOULD EXPECT, WHAT WE NOW
SEE THE GIANTS GO TO, SOMETHING
THEY WERE NOT DOING MUCH OF
THERE IN FIRST HALF, IS THEY'RE
PLAYING MORE COVERAGE, GIVING
THE CORNERS HELP AND JUST TRYING
TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING
TO GIVE UP A BIG-PLAY TOUCHDOWN.
>> THIRD DOWN AND 6.
VICK OVER THE MIDDLE.
PASS CAUGHT BY AVANT, EMERGING
AS ONE OF THE BETTER THIRD-DOWN
TARGETS AROUND THE NFL, NOT JUST
THE NFC.
18 YARDS AND A FIRST DOWN.
>> LeSEAN McCOY, HE COMES IN AND
CHOPS THE FEET RIGHT OUT FROM
UNDERNEATH OSI UMENYIORA.
AND THAT PLAY DEFENSIVELY, THE
GIANTS, THEY MATCHED UP
ONE-ON-ONE OUTSIDE AND DID NOT
GIVE HELP AGAIN.
AND THE EAGLES PICK UP A BIG
FIRST DOWN.
>> LONGEST PASS PLAY OF THE DAY
FOR THE EAGLES, A COMPLETION OF
18 YARDS.
HERE'S McCOY.
McGLYNN NOW TRYING TO BLOCK.
HE WHIFFED.
AND McCOY IS BROUGHT DOWN BY
ROLLE AFTER A GAIN OF 5.
>> I GUESS WHAT'S A LITTLE BIT
SURPRISING TO ME, JOE, HERE IS
THAT AS MUCH ONE-ON-ONE COVERAGE
AS THE GIANTS ARE GIVING THE
EAGLES, THAT THEY HAVEN'T YET
TAKEN A SHOT DOWN THE FIELD.
NOW, VICK IS NOT AS WE HAVE
SEEN.
HE'S NOT BEING AFFORDED A LOT OF
TIME IN THE POCKET.
BUT HE HASN'T EVEN JUST DROPPED
BACK FIVE STEPS AND LET IT GO.
JUST TRY TO RUN THREE OR FOUR
VERTICALS AND TAKE YOUR CHANCES
WITH ONE OF THESE SPEED DEMONS
ON THE OUTSIDE.
THEY JUST HAVEN'T EVEN TRIED
THAT YET.
>> WELL, IT'S GETTING LATE.
DOWN 21.
INSIDE HAND-OFF, McCOY HAS GOT A
FIRST DOWN, AND LeSEAN McCOY IS
DOWN TO THE 42, A RUN OF 12.
HERE'S McCOY.
ROOM TO RUN ON THE OUTSIDE, AND
A HOLDING CALL.
A FLAG COMES IN LATE.
GIANTS BENCH WAS CALLING FOR IT.
>> NUMBER 87, OFFENSE.
10-YARD PENALTY -- REPLAY
FIRST DOWN.
>> THEY GET CELEK OUT ON THE
EDGE OF THAT PLAY.
>> YEAH, HE'S TRYING TO BLOCK
OSI UMENYIORA.
AND THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS.
RIGHT THERE, HE'S FINE.
BUT THEN, AS SOON AS HE FEELS
OSI UMENYIORA TRYING TO GET OFF
THE BLOCK TO THEN GO MAKE THE
TACKLE, HE FEELS THAT GRAB, AND
IT'S AN EASY ONE FOR THE
OFFICIAL TO SEE.
>> MEANWHILE, DeSEAN JACKSON,
NFC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE
WEEK, WHO HAD 4 CATCHES AT
DALLAS FOR 210 YARDS LAST
WEEKEND, HAS BEEN SHUT OUT.
THAT CONTINUES.
PASS IS COMPLETE TO MACLIN, A
GAIN OF 5.
>> MICHAEL VICK TRYING TO
NAVIGATE PASS RUSHERS.
THAT TIME, JUSTIN TUCK TO GET
THE FOOTBALL OFF TO
JEREMY MACLIN ANY WAY POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN TELL THIS PASS RUSH BY
THE GIANTS HAS AFFECTED SOME OF
THE PLAY-CALLING BY
MARTY MORNHINWEG IN NOT
TRUSTING -- THIS IS A FAST-BREAK
OFFENSE.
THEY WANT TO FORCE THE BALL DOWN
THE FIELD.
AND THEY JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO DO THAT.
>> GIANTS ARE SHOWING BLITZ.
THEY ALL COME.
VICK THROWS BEHIND HIS RECEIVER
AND ENDS UP ON THE GROUND.
MACLIN, THE INTENDED TARGET.
AND NOW IT'S THIRD AND 15.
>> AND MICHAEL BOLEY, THEY
OVERLOAD THAT SIDE.
AND THEY GOT ENOUGH BLOCKERS
THERE.
MICHAEL VICK'S EXPECTING
KING DUNLAP TO COME OUT.
EITHER HE DIDN'T PICK IT UP OR
GOT CONFUSED ON WHAT HIS
ASSIGNMENT WAS.
BUT THEY HAD ENOUGH BLOCKERS HAD
THEY JUST COMMUNICATED THAT A
LITTLE BIT BETTER ON THAT RIGHT
SIDE.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> HERE COME THE GIANTS.
OFFENSIVE LINE PICKS IT UP.
VICK THROWS HIGH.
INCOMPLETE FOR AVANT.
VICK HAD PROTECTION BUT MISSED
JASON AVANT.
IT'S FOURTH DOWN.
>> PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE THERE BY
AARON ROSS.
THAT COVERAGE IS CALLED 2-MAN.
THERE'S TWO SAFETIES DEEP, NOT
TO GIVE UP THE BIG PLAY, AND
THEN IT'S MAN-TO-MAN EVERYWHERE
ELSE.
AND VICK, FEELING PRESSURE,
GOT TO GET IT OUT OF HIS HANDS.
BUT AARON ROSS IS UNDERNEATH
THAT THROW.
IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN A HECK OF A
THROW THERE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE
THAT ONE.
BUT ONE THAT GOT AWAY.
DIDN'T MUCH MATTER.
JUST GOOD COVERAGE BY AARON ROSS
UNDERNEATH THE ROUTE.
>> THIS IS THE TOP THIRD-DOWN
DEFENSE IN THE NFL, THE
NEW YORK GIANTS.
THEY HAVE PLAYED BRILLIANTLY
DEFENSIVELY.
THAT BALL IS ILLEGALLY TOUCHED.
BLACKMON ON THE RETURN.
AND IT WAS COLT ANDERSON WHO WAS
DOWNFIELD AND TOUCHED THE BALL
FIRST AFTER A 31-YARD PUNT.
THEY DID THROW A FLAG.
FIRST DOWN, GIANTS.
WHAT A PLAY BY COLEMAN.
SECOND DOWN AND 12.
>> PRETTY GOOD STUFF.
FIVE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A ROW,
GOING FOR SIX STRAIGHT.
>> AND IT'S BEEN FIVE WINS IN A
ROW IN THIS RIVALRY FOR THE
EAGLES OVER THE GIANTS.
THAT BALL'S OUT.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
THAT IS A FUMBLE RECOVERED BY
PHILADELPHIA AND A BREAK THEY
HAVE DESPERATELY NEEDED.
MANNINGHAM PUT IT ON THE GROUND.
>> YOU KIND OF GOT THE IDEA THAT
IF THE EAGLES ARE GOING TO GET
BACK INTO THIS GAME, THE DEFENSE
IS GOING TO HAVE TO FORCE SOME
TYPE OF TURNOVER TO CHANGE
MOMENTUM.
AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS
DEFINITELY OUT AND IN PLAY
BEFORE HE GOT TO THE SIDELINE.
YOU SEE TOM COUGHLIN.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT THE
EAGLES, BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE
SEEN HERE TODAY, HOW THEY GET
BACK IN THIS GAME, IS TO GIVE
THEM A SHORT FIELD ON A
TURNOVER.
AND THAT BALL IS LIVE.
AND THAT'S THE EAGLES' FOOTBALL.
>> YOU SEE PATTERSON GET ON TOP
OF IT.
IT WAS THE ROOKIE, JAMAR CHANEY,
TAKING OVER MIDDLE LINEBACKER ON
THE TACKLE, AND IT'S THE SECOND
GIANT TURNOVER.
>> IT'S JUST CARELESS WITH THE
BALL.
I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT
JAMAR CHANEY EVEN HIT HIM.
HIT THE BALL TO KNOCK IT OUT.
AS HE WAS SWINGING IT, IT JUST
SLIPPED OUT OF HIS HAND.
>> WHAT A CHANCE FOR THE EAGLES,
DOWN BY 21, AT THE GIANTS' 25.
PLAY-ACTION, VICK STEPS UP.
AND NOW HE'LL RUN.
SHOWS OFF HIS SPEED AND PICKS UP
A FIRST DOWN WITH A 13-YARD
CARRY.
>> IN ADDITION TO THE EAGLES
DEFENSE, YOU KNOW, REALLY HAVING
TO TRY TO MAKE A PLAY TO GET
THIS TEAM BACK IN IT, IT APPEARS
THAT THAT'S WHAT MICHAEL VICK
IS GONNA HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DO,
'CAUSE THERE JUST HAS NOT BEEN
ANYWHERE TO GO WITH THE BALL
THROUGHOUT THIS GAME.
THIS TIME THEY ARE DOUBLING
DeSEAN JACKSON, AND THEY DID
GIVE UP A LANE, THOUGH.
THAT TIME THEY DID NOT CONTROL
MICHAEL VICK THE WAY THAT THEY
HAVE THROUGHOUT THIS GAME.
>> ONLY EAGLE POINTS IN THIS
GAME CAME OFF A TURNOVER.
CATCH MADE, TACKLE IMMEDIATELY
BY BOLEY AS HE BROUGHT DOWN
AVANT, A GAIN OF 4.
>> WELL, YOU GOT TO BELIEVE THAT
ANDY REID IS LOOKING AT THIS
RIGHT NOW AS FOUR-DOWN
TERRITORY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CANNOT
COME AWAY WITH A TOUCHDOWN OR AT
LEAST ATTEMPT TO ON THIS
POSSESSION.
>> DOWN BY 21, UNDER FIVE TO GO
IN THE THIRD.
BLITZ COMING.
EAGLES PICK IT UP.
WIDE OPEN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN,
MACLIN.
AND THE FIST TOUCHDOWN OF THIS
GAME FOR THE EAGLES.
WELL-BLOCKED, MACLIN SLIPS OUT
FREE AND AN 8-YARD TOUCHDOWN
CATCH FOR JEREMY, HIS NINTH
TOUCHDOWN OF THE YEAR.
>> PRETTY GOOD DESIGN RIGHT
THERE.
YOU'RE GONNA SEE, HE'S GOING TO
COME FROM OVER HERE, BUT THEY GO
MOTION WITH DeSEAN JACKSON.
AND THAT GETS EVERYBODY THINKING
FLOW THAT WAY.
AND MACLIN IS ABLE TO COME
UNDERNEATH DeSEAN JACKSON'S
ROUTE, AND NOBODY GOES WITH HIM.
>> TALKED TO MARTY MORNHINWEG,
AND HE SAID, "MAN, I'LL TAKE
JEREMY MACLIN ANY DAY."
AND HE WAS JUST LEFT WIDE OPEN.
BUSTED COVERAGE AND THE
TOUCHDOWN TO MAKE IT A 14-POINT
GAME.
HERE'S D.J. WARE.
GIANTS HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK,
AND D.J. WARE, PRETTY GOOD
KICK RETURNER.
HE'S OUT ACROSS THE 30.
THIRD QUARTER, 3:49 LEFT.
MANNING WITH TIME.
JACOBS DROPPED IT.
TOOK HIS EYE OFF IT.
>> GO BACK TO THAT TOUCHDOWN AND
SEE WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
TERRELL THOMAS IS TRYING TO
COMMUNICATE TO COREY WEBSTER
THAT HE'S NOT GOING TO TAKE
JEREMY MACLIN IF HE GOES ACROSS
THE FIELD.
THEY CALL THIS BANJO COVERAGE.
IT WAS ZONE COVERAGE, AND HE'S
TRYING TO COMMUNICATE IT TO HIM.
BUT COREY WEBSTER NEVER SEES
THAT.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT
TERRELL THOMAS WAS TRYING TO
TELL HIM, AND HE WAS IN MAN
COVERAGE THEN WITH
DeSEAN JACKSON.
BUT THAT EXPLAINS THEN WHY
TERRELL THOMAS DIDN'T STAY IN
MAN COVERAGE HIMSELF AND GO
WITH JEREMY MACLIN.
>> INSTEAD, MACLIN WIDE OPEN.
AND NOW IT'S SECOND AND 10.
HERE'S NICKS.
BROUGHT DOWN WITH A FIRST DOWN
AT THE 45.
COMPLETION OF 11 YARDS, AND NOW
ERNIE SIMS IS SLOW TO GET UP.
TRADED TO THE EAGLES FROM
DETROIT.
AND KURT COLEMAN'S GRABBING HIS
RIGHT CALF.
THEY ARE GOING DOWN THE LAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS IN A HURRY HERE
ON THIS EAGLES DEFENSE.
>> OH.
>> AND IT WAS SIMS AND COLEMAN
WHO CAME TOGETHER, AND BOTH WERE
SLOW TO GET UP.
AND NOW COLEMAN IS THE ONE WHO
APPEARS MORE INJURED.
>> AS WE KNOW, THEY'RE ALREADY
THIN AT THAT POSITION WITH
NATE ALLEN GOING DOWN.
>> GIANTS HAVE GIVEN THE BALL
AWAY 35 TIMES OFFENSIVELY.
THAT'S THE MOST IN THE NFL.
HERE'S JACOBS, NO GAIN.
I GUESS YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH
THAT AND STILL BE FIGHTING FOR A
DIVISIONAL LEAD WHEN YOU TAKE
IT AWAY MORE THAN ANY TEAM ON
DEFENSE.
AND THAT'S WHAT THE GIANTS HAVE
DONE.
EACH SIDE WITH 2 TURNOVERS IN
THIS GAME.
AND ELI MANNING WITH 3 TOUCHDOWN
PASSES COMPARED TO
1 INTERCEPTION.
SECOND DOWN AND 10.
>> THERE'S NOT TOO MANY TEAMS
IN THE LEAGUE THAT CAN TURN THE
BALL OVER AS MANY TIMES AS THE
GIANTS HAVE AND, YOU KNOW, HAVE
A WINNING RECORD, LET ALONE BE
PLAYING FOR THE DIVISIONAL LEAD.
>> ON SECOND DOWN, PLAY-ACTION.
AND MANNING TRYING TO FIND
SOMEWHERE TO GO WITH IT.
INCOMPLETE.
AND IT'S SIMS ALL OVER
BRANDON JACOBS.
>> WELL, HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME
TO THROW IT, JUST NOWHERE TO
THROW IT TO.
YOU SEE EVERYBODY ON THE FIELD
WAS PRETTY MUCH DOUBLE-COVERED.
HAKEEM NICKS, AND YOU'VE GOT --
THEY'RE PLAYING IN AND OUT THERE
ON KEVIN BOSS AND THEN ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD, AS
WELL.
>> EAGLES CAME IN 14th IN THE
NFL DEFENDING ON THIRD DOWN.
GIANTS ARE 6-FOR-11.
IT'S THIRD AND 10, BLITZ.
PASS, CAUGHT BY HAGAN.
SAMUEL WITH A TACKLE TO HOLD
HAGAN SHORT OF A FIRST DOWN.
HE'S KNOWN FOR HIS
INTERCEPTIONS, NOT HIS TACKLING,
BUT HE MADE THE STOP IN TIME TO
PREVENT THE FIRST DOWN.
>> THAT WAS A GOOD JOB.
A LOT OF TIMES WITH THE THROW,
THE THROW WAS BEHIND HAGAN, AND
A LOT OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THAT,
THE MOMENTUM OF THE RECEIVER
WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE
DEFENDER MISS AND PICK UP THAT
FIRST DOWN.
SAMUEL, WHO WAS A LITTLE OUT OF
POSITION, TRYING TO MAKE THE
TACKLE, DID A NICE JOB.
>> ASANTE SAMUEL, WHO HAS
42 CAREER INTERCEPTIONS, 7
AGAINST THE MANNING BROTHERS,
SAID HE WASN'T GOING TO MISS
THIS ONE AGAINST ELI MANNING.
MADE A GOOD TACKLE.
CALVIN ON THE RETURN AFTER JUST
A 38-YARD PUNT.
THAT'S THE TIGHT END, THE
ROOKIE, CLAY HARBOR, FALLING AS
HE MADE THE CATCH.
ROLLS FORWARD FOR 4.
>> [ CHUCKLES ]
THAT'S KIND OF BEEN THE DAY FOR
THIS OFFENSE.
HERE THIS AFTERNOON, THEY ARE
ABLE TO GET THE BALL TO
CLAY HARBOR, WIDE OPEN, AND IF
HE CATCHES IT AND STAYS ON HIS
FEET, HE'S ABLE TO AT LEAST GET
A FEW MORE YARDS.
GOT TO TUCK AND ROLL THERE.
>> PLAYED AT MISSOURI STATE,
FOURTH-ROUND PICK, AND HE SAID
HE NEVER HAD TO PASS-BLOCK IN
COLLEGE.
SO, HE'S TRYING TO LEARN THAT.
THAT WAS HIS FOURTH CATCH OF THE
SEASON.
VICK SLINGS IT SIDELINE,
FIRST DOWN.
THE PASS CAUGHT.
THERE'S THE FIRST OF THE DAY BY
DeSEAN JACKSON, GOOD FOR 8.
>> WELL, YOU CAN SEE.
IT'S AMAZING HOW MUCH OFFENSIVE
FOOTBALL IS JUST ABOUT MOMENTUM
AND RHYTHM, AND THAT TURNOVER,
AGAIN, TO GO BACK TO THAT, WITH
MARIO MANNINGHAM AND THEN YOU
SCORE A TOUCHDOWN AND YOU FEEL
PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THAT, BEING
ABLE TO PUNCH IT IN.
AND RIGHT NOW THIS OFFENSE IS
GETTING OUT OF THE HUDDLE.
THEY'RE GETTING TO THE LINE OF
SCRIMMAGE, AND THAT WAS A NICE
FIRST DOWN FOR THEM.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> BLITZ.
HAND-OFF TO McCOY.
AND HE IS KNOCKED DOWN AFTER A
GAIN OF 2.
GOFF ON THE STOP.
>> JUSTIN TUCK HAS BEEN A
DISRUPTIVE FORCE THROUGHOUT THIS
GAME.
HE'S BATTLING THROUGH GUYS AND
THROWING HIS BODY IN THERE AND
ABLE TO MAKE A PLAY ON
LeSEAN McCOY.
>> WELL, WE ARE THROUGH THREE
QUARTERS.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
AND A FALSE START.
>> FALSE START, NUMBER 87,
OFFENSE.
5-YARD PENALTY -- SECOND DOWN.
>> THAT'S BRENT CELEK WHO LED
THIS EAGLES TEAM LAST YEAR WITH
76 CATCHES.
HAS ONLY 30.
GUILTY OF THE FALSE START.
THERE ARE THE STATS THROUGH
THREE.
GIANTS HAVE BEEN HELD TO
58 YARDS RUSHING.
THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THAT RUN
GAME, YOU GET THE FEELING,
BEFORE THE END OF IT.
SECOND AND 13.
>> BRENT CELEK'S HAD A COUPLE
OF COSTLY PENALTIES IN THIS
GAME.
>> EARLIER A HOLD, NOW A
FALSE START.
THIS ONE IS BATTED INTO THE AIR,
AND IT FALLS TO THE TURF, TRYING
TO GET IT TO JACKSON.
>> YOU SEE THE FRUSTRATION THERE
ON MICHAEL VICK'S FACE.
THIS IS JUST A -- THIS IS AN
OFFENSE THAT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED
ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH
MICHAEL VICK AT QUARTERBACK.
THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH HAD THEIR
WAY AGAINST THE DEFENSES THEY
HAVE FACED ALL SEASON LONG.
>> BLITZ COMING.
VICK STEPS UP, AIRS IT OUT,
DOWNFIELD.
MACLIN HAD TO WAIT.
BROKEN UP.
TERRELL THOMAS.
IF HE LEADS HIM, IT'S A
TOUCHDOWN.
BUT THOMAS HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME
TO RECOVER.
>> WELL, THEY BROUGHT THE EDGE
PRESSURE, WHICH FORCED VICK TO
STEP UP.
BUT IT WAS BARRY COFIELD RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE THAT REALLY MADE
VICK NOT BE ABLE TO GET ANYTHING
ON THE THROW.
IF HE HAD JUST BEEN ABLE TO STEP
UP BECAUSE OF THE OUTSIDE
PRESSURE, HE DELIVERS A MUCH
BETTER BALL, BUT BARRY COFIELD
WINNING IN THE MIDDLE IS WHAT
GOT VICK OFF BALANCE AND UNABLE
TO GET, AS GOOD AN ARM STRENGTH
AS HE HAS, ENOUGH ON THE BALL TO
GET THE TOUCHDOWN BECAUSE THEY
HAD A CHANCE DOWN THE FIELD.
>> MACLIN WAS WIDE OPEN.
TERRELL THOMAS RECOVERED.
HERE IS BLACKMON DANCING AROUND,
SPINNING AROUND.
SURVIVES A HIT. HANGS ON.
GIANTS HAVE THE FOOTBALL.
IN THE SECOND HALF, THEY'VE HAD
IT THREE TIMES.
ONE FIRST DOWN.
THEY'VE PUNTED TWICE, FUMBLED.
AND, AGAIN, THAT GROUND GAME,
WHICH HAS BEEN SO GOOD COMING
IN, SHUT DOWN THE LAST TIME THEY
PLAYED THE EAGLES.
HERE'S BOSS.
WIDE OPEN.
KEVIN BOSS WITH ANOTHER BIG
SECOND-HALF RECEPTION.
GOOD FOR 36.
>> GOOD CALL THERE BY
KEVIN GILBRIDE.
BACKED UP, A BIG LEAD.
YOU GO PLAY-ACTION PASS.
EVERYBODY IS THINKING YOU'RE
GOING TO TRY TO RUN THE BALL AND
TAKE TIME OFF THE CLOCK.
AND KEVIN BOSS WORKING THE
MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, JUST WIDE
OPEN, PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE AS
BIG A GAIN IF DIMITRI PATTERSON
LOSES HIS FEET.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO MAKE
A TACKLE.
BUT JUST A NICE JOB OF SETTING
THAT ONE UP THERE BY
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
KEVIN GILBRIDE.
>> HERE'S BRADSHAW.
JAMAR CHANEY, NEW MIDDLE
LINEBACKER THERE, WITH A TACKLE.
A GAIN OF 5.
>> WE'LL GO BACK AND TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT LAST THROW BY
MICHAEL VICK AND AN OPPORTUNITY
THAT WAS LOST BECAUSE OF THE
PRESSURE INSIDE.
YOU CAN SEE THERE ON THE LEFT
SIDE OF THE SCREEN,
JEREMY MACLIN HAD
TERRELL THOMAS BEAT DEEP.
BUT, YOU KNOW, HIM HAVING TO
FLOAT THE BALL MORE THAN WHAT HE
WOULD HAVE LIKED, IT ALLOWED
TERRELL THOMAS THEN TO GET BACK
UNDERNEATH THAT AND GET A HAND
ON THE BALL.
>> SECOND DOWN AND 5.
PASS BATTED IN THE AIR AND STILL
HAD A SHOT AT A COMPLETION TO
MANNINGHAM.
INCOMPLETE.
BY THE WAY, FOR VICK, AS FOKOU
GOT A HAND ON THIS PASS, VICK'S
HAD THREE PASSES BATTED DOWN OR
INTO THE AIR AND NOW MANNING'S
HAD A COUPLE, LATEST BY
MOISE FOKOU.
>> [ LAUGHS ]
QUARTERBACKS DON'T LIKE THAT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOT AN OPEN
RECEIVER.
HARD ENOUGH COMPLETING PASSES
IN THIS LEAGUE WHEN YOU DON'T
HAVE LINEMEN JUMPING UP AND
KNOCKING THE BALL DOWN.
>> MANNING IS FORCED OUT OF THE
POCKET TO HIS RIGHT.
AND HE JUST FLOATS IT AWAY.
INCOMPLETE.
I THINK THE INTERESTING THING IS
THIS IS A GIANTS OFFENSE THAT
COMING IN OVER THE LAST THREE
GAMES HAD RUSHED FOR 135 YARDS,
197, 213 LAST WEEK IN DETROIT
AGAINST MINNESOTA.
THIS IS WHERE YOU WOULD LEAN ON
A RUN GAME, AND FOR THE SECOND
CONSECUTIVE MEETING, THE
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES DEFENSE HAS
FOR THE MOST PART SHUT DOWN THE
GIANTS ON THE GROUND.
>> AND THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO
ALLOW THE EAGLES TO HAVE A
CHANCE IN THIS GAME, BUT, YOU
KNOW, THEY'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO
DO IT ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF
THE BALL, AS WELL.
>> SO, THE GIANTS GET IT WITH
STILL JUST UNDER 13 MINUTES LEFT
IN THE HALF.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
VICK, WIDE OPEN, DeSEAN JACKSON.
AND THAT BALL CAME OUT WHEN
JACKSON HIT THE TURF.
WAS HE TOUCHED?
RIGHT NOW IT'S A FUMBLE.
AND IT BELONGS TO THE GIANTS.
KENNY PHILLIPS ON THE RECOVERY.
AND LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT
THIS REPLAY.
JACKSON IS TOUCHED THERE ON HIS
WAY TO THE GROUND, AND THE BALL
COMES OUT.
I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
ANDY REID WILL THROW THE RED
FLAG ON.
>> ...SINCE THE RECEIVER WAS
NEVER DOWN BY CONTACT BY TOUCH.
RECOVERED BY NEW YORK.
FIRST AND 10, NEW YORK.
>> THEY'RE SAYING THAT THE
RECEIVER WAS NEVER TOUCHED.
DOWN BY CONTACT.
YOU CAN SEE GOFF GET THE BACK OF
JACKSON ON HIS WAY TO THE
GROUND.
AND THERE IS NO CHALLENGE FLAG
THROWN BY ANDY REID.
HE SHOULD THROW IT.
>> THERE'S NO QUESTION HE SHOULD
THROW IT.
HE'S WAITING RIGHT NOW TO TRY TO
DETERMINE IF HE'S GOING TO.
HE'S ONLY CHALLENGED SIX CALLS
ALL YEAR.
I'M SHOCKED HE'S NOT CHALLENGING
THIS.
HE'S GOT IT IN HIS HANDS.
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
JACOBS OVER THE LEFT SIDE.
A GAIN OF 5.
>> IT IS A LITTLE BIT LIKE
ELI MANNING'S FUMBLE THE LAST
TIME THE TWO TEAMS PLAYED THERE
IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.
HE WENT TO THE GROUND TRYING TO
GIVE HIMSELF UP.
BUT HE HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED.
HE WAS CLEARLY TOUCHED ON THIS
ONE.
THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
THAT PHILADELPHIA MAINTAINS
POSSESSION IF ANDY REID HAD
CHALLENGED THAT CALL.
I DON'T KNOW WHY HE DIDN'T.
>> I AGREE.
HE'S GOT TO THROW THE RED FLAG.
AND HE'S NEVER BEEN SHY TO THROW
IT.
HE'S NOT A GUY WHO DOESN'T TAKE
A CHANCE, HOPING FOR A REVERSAL,
AND THAT IS A MISS.
HERE'S BOSS.
FORCED OUT OF BOUNDS, BUT
ANOTHER COMPLETION TO
KEVIN BOSS, THIS ONE GOOD FOR
15.
WATCH THE RIGHT HAND OF GOFF.
JACKSON ON HIS WAY DOWN IS
TOUCHED UP THE BACK.
>> LOOKED LIKE ANDY REID WAS
TRYING TO GET WORD FROM UP TOP.
BUT HE NEVER GOT IT.
>> JACOBS.
>> AND UP TOP, I'M REFERRING
TO SOMEONE WITHIN THE EAGLES
ORGANIZATION, WHOEVER IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING HIM MAKE
THAT DETERMINATION AS TO
WHETHER HE'S GOING TO CHALLENGE
A CALL.
>> AND NOW ASANTE SAMUEL AND
BRANDON JACOBS START TO SHOVE
EACH OTHER.
I MEAN, THE ONLY EXPLANATION
FOR NOT THROWING THAT FLAG IS TO
SAY THAT THE EAGLES BELIEVED
THAT JACKSON WASN'T GOING TO THE
GROUND AND THAT WASN'T PART OF
THE PLAY WITH HIM GOING TO THE
TURF BEFORE THE BALL POPPED OUT.
BUT I WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT.
>> YEAH, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT
ANDY EVER HAD ANYBODY TELL HIM
IT SHOULD BE CHALLENGED.
HE DIDN'T SEE IT WELL ENOUGH TO
BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT
HIMSELF.
>> HERE'S AHMAD BRADSHAW,
WRESTLED TO THE GROUND BY SIMS.
A GAIN OF 3.
IT'S THIRD AND 2.
BUT EITHER WAY, I MEAN, YOU WANT
THEM TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AND
HOPE THAT YOU CATCH A BREAK.
YOU'RE DOWN BY 14 POINTS.
YOU'RE TRYING TO -- TRYING TO
GAIN MORE MOMENTUM GOING
FORWARD.
AND WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO CHECK
IN WITH MIKE PEREIRA TO GET HIS
VIEW FROM OUT IN LOS ANGELES.
IT'S THIRD AND 2 HERE FOR THE
GIANTS.
[ WHISTLE BLOWS ]
AND COMING ACROSS EARLY WAS THE
ROOKIE CHANEY.
>> ENCROACHMENT, NUMBER 51,
DEFENSE.
5-YARD PENALTY WILL RESULT IN A
FIRST DOWN.
>> TOO AGGRESSIVE ON THE BLITZ.
AND IT'S A FIRST DOWN WITH A
PENALTY.
BALL IS PLACED INSIDE THE 15.
THIS IS A PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
DEFENSE THAT IS LAST IN THE NFL
IN DEFENDING THE RED ZONE.
COMING IN, OPPONENTS HAD BEEN IN
36 TIMES, SCORED 28 TOUCHDOWNS.
JUST UNDER 80%.
GIANTS ARE 1-FOR-2 TODAY.
BRANDON JACOBS FOR A COUPLE OVER
THE LEFT SIDE.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH
MIKE PEREIRA.
MIKE, WHAT DID YOU SEE ON THAT
FUMBLE AS IT WAS RULED BY
DeSEAN JACKSON?
>> WELL, I SEE YOU GOT TO
CHALLENGE THAT.
I'M THINKING WAS PHILLY THINKING
ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE JUST
TOUCHED THE HAND-WARMER MUFF IN
THE BACK BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T
HAVE PUT HIM DOWN.
BUT THE HAND DOES SLIDE DOWN
THE BACK.
THAT'S THE THING THAT WOULD
HAVE PUT HIM DOWN.
AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY THEY
DIDN'T CHALLENGE IT, EITHER.
>> I'M GLAD YOU SAW THE SAME
THING WE DID.
AND YET ANDY REID PUT THE RED
FLAG BACK IN HIS POCKET.
THAT IS A MISTAKE BY OUR
JUDGMENT AND A MISSED
OPPORTUNITY FOR REID ON WHAT WAS
THE BIGGEST PLAY TO
DeSEAN JACKSON ALL DAY.
>> AND I WILL SAY THIS.
THE RULES ARE WHAT THEY ARE.
YOU ACCEPT THAT AS A HEAD COACH.
BUT I WILL SAY THAT NOT ONLY
ANDY REID, BUT ALL HEAD COACHES
AROUND THE LEAGUE, THEY GOT
ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT DURING THE
COURSE OF A GAME.
I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT SHOULD
NOT BE THE HEAD COACH, THE
HEAD COACH'S RESPONSIBILITY TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A PLAY
SHOULD BE CHALLENGED.
THEY'RE TRYING TO BE A
HEAD COACH AND GET THEIR OWN
TEAM TO PLAY.
AND THEY SHOULDN'T THEN HAVE TO
HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
MAKING SURE THE OFFICIALS ARE
GETTING CALLS RIGHT ON THE
FIELD, ALSO.
>> IT'S THIRD AND 5.
MANNING OVER THE MIDDLE.
BOSS, TOUCHDOWN.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
>> SO, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THE YOUNG ROOKIE, JAMAR CHANEY.
THIS IS ONE RIGHT HERE.
HE JUST PASSES HIM UP, LETS HIM
GO BY HIM BECAUSE HE SEES A
CROSSING ROUTE COMING IN FRONT
OF HIM.
AND IT OPENED UP THE THROWING
LANE FOR KEVIN BOSS,
UNCONTESTED.
QUINTIN MIKELL, YOU SEE HIM
THERE, BUT JAMAR CHANEY, THE
MIDDLE LINEBACKER, HAS TO CARRY
THAT UP THE SEAM.
>> IT'S A 4-TOUCHDOWN DAY FOR
ELI MANNING.
HOW ABOUT THE DAY FOR
ELI MANNING?
HIS LATEST ONE TO KEVIN BOSS.
ELI TIES HIS CAREER HIGH WITH
4 TOUCHDOWN THROWS IN THIS GAME.
HAS SET A NEW CAREER HIGH WITH
28 TOUCHDOWN PASSES ON THE YEAR.
BUT IN THIS BATTLE AGAINST
PHILADELPHIA, WE SAID IT IN THE
FIRST HALF, AND IT'S STILL TRUE.
ELI MANNING HAS OUTPLAYED
MICHAEL VICK.
HERE'S JORRICK CALVIN OUT TO
THE 25.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
HERE'S MACLIN.
HE HAS GOT A FIRST DOWN IT WOULD
APPEAR.
HE DOES.
WRESTLED DOWN BY UMENYIORA.
OUT THERE FOR THE TACKLE ON
JEREMY MACLIN.
>> GIVE PERRY FEWELL,
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, SOME
CREDIT.
HE'S STILL BRINGING THE HEAT AND
DOING THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE
THROUGHOUT THIS GAME.
>> ON FIRST DOWN.
PASS TO CELEK.
A WHIFF ON THE TACKLE BY
PHILLIPS, AND CELEK GETS A BLOCK
AND WILL CRUISE IN FOR THE
TOUCHDOWN.
MACLIN WITH A GOOD BLOCK AFTER
KENNY PHILLIPS MISSED ON THE
TACKLE.
AND IN A BLINK, THE
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES ARE IN A
POSITION TO AGAIN BE DOWN BY
ONLY 14.
>> YEAH, WELL, THEY BROUGHT THE
BLITZ AGAIN.
THEY DID ON FIRST DOWN, AND THEY
DID AGAIN OFF THE EDGE.
AARON ROSS, 31, AND THE EAGLES
PICK IT UP.
BUT THEN IT IS JUST MAN-TO-MAN
ON THE BACK END.
KENNY PHILLIPS, HE'S PLAYING
MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.
AND WHEN YOU THROW THE BALL DOWN
THE MIDDLE, AS THEY DO HERE TO
BRENT CELEK, THAT'S THE PLAY.
KENNY PHILLIPS GOES FOR IT,
THINKING IT'S GOING TO BE AN
INTERCEPTION.
BRENT CELEK'S THERE TO CATCH
THE BALL.
AND THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT
TOM COUGHLIN DIDN'T WANT TO SEE
HAPPEN.
>> A CAREER LONG FOR CELEK,
65 YARDS, AND IT'S A 14-POINT
GAME AGAIN WITH 7 1/2 TO GO.
CELEK'S A REAL GOOD, YOUNG
TIGHT END IN THIS LEAGUE, AND
VICK FORCED ONE TO HIM LAST WEEK
AT DALLAS THAT WENT FOR AN
INTERCEPTION.
AND CELEK IMMEDIATELY CAME OVER
TO THE BENCH AND TALKED TO VICK
AND SAID, "HEY, I KNOW YOU'RE
TRYING TO FORCE IT TO ME.
DON'T DO IT.
JUST LET IT HAPPEN NATURALLY."
VICK REALLY APPRECIATED IT, AND
NOW, A WEEK LATER, HE'S GOT A
65-YARD TOUCHDOWN THROW.
>> FOR THE YEAR THAT HE HAD LAST
YEAR, TO NOT HAVE MORE
PRODUCTION AND HANDLE IT THE WAY
THAT HE HAS, HAS BEEN ADMIRABLE.
>> HERE IS AN ONSIDE-KICK TRY,
AND IT'S HAULED IN.
IT IS A GOOD PLAY.
IT BELONGS TO THE EAGLES,
RILEY COOPER.
THE ROOKIE OUT OF FLORIDA, AND A
PERFECT ONSIDE KICK FROM
DAVID AKERS.
>> AND THE GIANTS WERE NOT
ANTICIPATING THAT AT ALL.
THEY WERE TURNING AND RUNNING
OUT.
YOU SEE THEY'RE NOT -- THEY JUST
NOW COME TO THE SCREEN BECAUSE
AT THE TIME THAT AKERS STARTED
TO ADDRESS THE FOOTBALL, THEY
WERE TURNING AND RUNNING,
ANTICIPATING THE DEEP KICKOFF.
AND IT WAS JUST A PERFECT KICK
ALSO BY DAVID AKERS.
>> IT'S GOT TO GO 10 YARDS.
IT DID.
AND THE EAGLES, WHO ARE SECONDS
OFF THAT 65-YARDER TO CELEK,
WILL LINE UP AT THEIR OWN 43,
DOWN BY 14 POINTS.
>> WELL, REMEMBER -- I MEAN, THE
EAGLES HAVE BEAT A LOT OF TEAMS
IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, INCLUDING
THE NEW YORK GIANTS, JUST FOUR
WEEKS AGO.
THIS IS A TEAM THAT RALLIES LATE
IN GAMES, AND RIGHT NOW
DEFENSIVELY, I GOT TO THINK
THAT IT'S GETTING A LITTLE BIT
NERVOUS.
>> OUT OF THE SHOTGUN, VICK,
BACKPEDALING, HITS
DeSEAN JACKSON.
AND JACKSON PICKED UP A FIRST
DOWN WITH A 13-YARD CATCH AND
RUN.
DAVID AKERS, TROY, IS NOW
8-FOR-18 SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTING
AN ONSIDE KICK.
HE'S GOT A TALENT FOR THAT.
THAT WAS WELL-DONE.
>> YEAH, AND THAT JUST DOESN'T
HAPPEN, YOU KNOW?
THAT'S A LOT OF PRACTICE OUT
THERE ON THE PRACTICE FIELD,
TRYING TO GET THAT BOUNCED AND
GET IT AT JUST THE RIGHT
DISTANCE.
>> VICK SIDESTEPS A SACK AND NOW
WILL TAKE IT RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE
OF THE FIELD.
SLIDES DOWN HEADFIRST INSIDE THE
10.
>> BUT DEON GRANT HAD A FREE RUN
AT MICHAEL VICK.
THEY WERE MAKING THESE PLAYS IN
THE FIRST HALF.
BUT VICK JUST MAKES A GREAT
ATHLETIC MOVE THERE AND GETS
UNDERNEATH HIM, AND THEN THEY'RE
IN MAN COVERAGE ON THE BACK END
OF THAT AND NOBODY ACCOUNTING
FOR THE QUARTERBACK.
ONCE HE BREAKS THAT CONTAIN
RIGHT THERE, THERE IS JUST
NOBODY THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL
RUNNING WITH THEIR BACK TO THE
QUARTERBACK.
>> THAT'S A SEASON-LONG 35-YARD
RUN BY VICK.
NOW THEY'RE AT THE 9.
HIGH SNAP AGAIN.
VICK, LOOKING FOR JACKSON,
INCOMPLETE.
PRESSURE BY UMENYIORA FORCED
VICK TO GET RID OF IT.
MICHAEL VICK IS NUMBER TWO ALL
TIME AMONG QUARTERBACKS RUNNING
THE FOOTBALL.
FIRST IS RANDALL CUNNINGHAM,
THEN MICHAEL VICK.
AND HE'S OVER 500 YARDS RUSHING
FOR THE SEASON.
SECOND AND GOAL.
PENALTY FLAG ON THE PLAY, AND
VICK IS WRESTLED DOWN BY TUCK.
BALL CAME OUT.
THEY'RE CALLING THE PLAY DEAD.
JEAN-GILLES GETS ON TOP OF IT,
ANYWAY.
>> AT THE SNAP, OFFSIDE,
DEFENSE, NUMBER 91.
LINED UP IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE AT
THE SNAP.
HALF THE DISTANCE TO THE GOAL.
REPLAY SECOND DOWN.
>> SO, THEY GET TUCK, WHO WAS
THE ONE WHO MADE THE PLAY.
AND IT'S SECOND AND GOAL.
THEY WILL MOVE THE FOOTBALL
INSIDE THE 5.
>> THE EAGLES SCORED THE LAST
TIME THEY PLAYED THE GIANTS ON
THE QUARTERBACK DRAW.
THEY TRIED TO GO WITH IT ON THAT
LAST PLAY, BUT BECAUSE OF THE
BLITZES THAT THE GIANTS KEEP
SHOWING, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE
A LOT OF PLACES FOR MICHAEL VICK
TO RUN.
>> HERE THEY COME AGAIN.
QUICK THROW, AND IT'S KNOCKED
DOWN.
FOURTH TIME THAT'S HAPPENED.
VICK HAS HAD A PASS KNOCKED DOWN
FOUR TIMES IN THIS GAME.
>> THERE WAS A LOT OF BODIES
RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE FIELD, AND THAT'S WHERE
THEY'RE TRYING TO BRING THE
PRESSURE ON THIS LAST PLAY.
THAT'S HARD.
IT'S HARD THROWING THOSE SLANTS
DOWN HERE, THE INSIDE SLANTS TO
THOSE INSIDE RECEIVERS DOWN IN
THE RED ZONE AT THIS PART OF THE
FIELD AND ESPECIALLY WITH ALL
THE BODIES THAT ARE STACKED IN
THE MIDDLE.
>> ROCKY BERNARD MADE THAT PLAY.
IT'S THIRD AND GOAL.
[ CROWD CHEERS ]
VICK ON A QUARTERBACK DRAW.
TOUCHDOWN, PHILLY!
AND WE ARE AN EXTRA POINT AWAY
FROM A 7-POINT GAME.
>> WELL, THEY DO A GOOD JOB WITH
THE DRAW BECAUSE INSTEAD OF
MICHAEL VICK TRYING TO TAKE IT
UP THE MIDDLE, WHERE THE
LINEBACKERS ARE, BOLEY, THEY
TAKE IT OFF TACKLE.
SO, IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE AN
OFF-TACKLE HAND-OFF TO A
TAILBACK, ONLY THEY'RE DOING IT
WITH MICHAEL VICK AT
QUARTERBACK.
THEY PULL -- SEE, THEY PULL
MAX JEAN-GILLES, THE RIGHT
GUARD.
A DESIGNED DRAW AND DESIGNED RUN
BY MICHAEL VICK BUT AN
OFF-TACKLE RUN.
>> THAT'S TWO TOUCHDOWNS IN
TWO MINUTES AFTER THE ONSIDE
KICK BY AKERS, WHO MAKES IT A
7-POINT GAME.
>> ELI MANNING WILL LIKELY NEED
TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT HE HAS
DONE AND BE PRETTY PRECISE
THROWING THE FOOTBALL.
>> LINE-DRIVE KICK BY AKERS, AND
