>> joe: and away we go. 4-0 takes on 2-2. the cincinnati bengals hosting the seattle seahawks. seattle won the toss, they defer. something's got to give here, right? the bengals offense number two
in the nfl. the seahawks defense number two that's chuck woolery right there. 2-2. >> troy: it's the old chuck woolery here before the kickoff. >> joe: brandon tate waiting for it.
it's week five in the nfl. and with cincinnati on top, in the north, already destroying a two-game lead over the steelers who are 2-2 and they're at san diego on monday night. glad you're with us. and away we go. bringing it out is tate.
not a good decision. well covered downfield is mccray on the tackle. for seattle. and here comes andy dalton. can't get off to a better start. well i guess you can if you're name's aaron rodgers. andy dalton quarterback rating
is number two in the nfl to aaron and he's just never played better in thissing we. >> troy: he's playing terrific. he's getting the ball down the field. he's been very accurate with his throws. especially the ball down the
field when he's had opportunities. big game last week against kansas city. biggest thing he's done, joe, is he's not forced throws. you know, something that was, to his detriment in previous years. >> joe: start with a throw, and
open for the catch is a.j. green. we're going to carry williams, look at some of the offensive players. maybe on the far right andrew whitworth good offensive line here in cincinnati. big weapon of a.j. green on the
outside. hill and dennard, second and two. here's dalton carrying it for the first down. and on that play, it was andre smith, the right tackle, who was spread out to the right. and a wide receiver spot.
>> troy: spread out both tackles. they split out andre smith to the right, they go whitworth to the left and keep the ball with andy dalton. excellent job by the right guard, kevin zeitler making a key block.
and seattle didn't know what to think of that. >> joe: hugh jackson the offensive coordinator for cincinnati. handoff is to hill. and the young, big back, over 1100 rushing yards. started the season last year,
red hot. no gain. rubbin' on that stop. not listed here. you look at the group and the attention always goes to the secondary. sherman made his first start in the nfl against the cincinnati
bengals and did a good job. against a.j. green back in 2011. dalton out to his right. that's green. and he was working on sherman. drove him deep. came back for a 14-yard completion. >> troy: how do you combat that
pressure that seattle's able to put on quarterbacks? and you move the pocket. this is an excellent job off of play action. they get andy dalton out on the edge. he had two chances right there, a.j. green a big play wide
receiver along the boundary which he takes. he also had brian hewitt working the middle of the field, and was open himself. >> troy: same look again here, joe with whitworth spread out wide. >> joe: and they hand it off.
hill. seattle defense not moved. bobby wagner on the tackle, no gain. >> troy: seattle is pretty good, usually, picking things up once they see it. they obviously made some adjustments as to what was
happening. cincinnati as you said, the first time they went with it, thought they'd come back and see if they could get another positive gain. but seattle played it perfectly. probably the last time we'll see whitworth lined up with the
wideouts. >> joe: dennard in motion. dalton steps into it, has a man wide open. pass caught by jones. and marvin jones still working down inside the 15. what a start for cincinnati. that one good for 44.
>> troy: this is where they've been really good, cincinnati has, getting the ball up the seam. marvin jones, 82, inside the numbers. a perfect throw. they get bernard -- giovani bernard split out.
a quick release to that side and created some confusion with the seattle defense. certainly opened up a lane there for marvin jones and another big play and big throw by andy dalton. >> joe: that's really defined their season so far.
15 completions and 25 or more yards number one in the nfl and another. that one 44. now time-out taken by fast start for and@p >> joe: second longest tenured head coach in the nfl, marvin lewis in his 13th season here in
and regular season success still waiting for something magical in january. first down. wide open touchdown! andy dalton started four for four and he's had wide receivers >> troy: we're going to see that he comes off the ball and
there's just no linebacker that picked him up. so he's able to go right down the field, just long coverage by seattle. we saw the big play to marvin jones that got him down here in this position. that's the one thing that this
seattle defense has had some issues with here in the first part of this season, is giving up big pass plays. two big breakdowns that lead to the touchdown. >> joe: wide receivers get them down there. the tight end tyler eifert.
fourth touchdown of the season. 7-0 cincinnati. the bepgals, an nfl best 28 opening drive points, and they have started â– â– â– â– pâ– ãºâ– @â– @â– @ã·@ã±@ã±w >>> today's game is sponsored by bud light. drink responsibly. >> joe: 14 yarder to tyler
eifert. and it's 7-0 bengals.ondary for breakdown from the sec seven-play drive just under four minutes. and nugent kicks it to the back of the end zone. let's go back to the touchdown. >> troy: i saw kam chancellor.
he's right here. and it looks to me like he should have been the one who carries tyler eifert up the instead marvin jones is running a pivot route from the slot position and two guys covering him. certainly earl thomas not able
to get over the top and try to make a play. you see kam chancellor going over there on the sidelines, exactly why there was a miscommunication on the play. two easy pass plays for andy >> joe: will there be any easy one for russell wilson who has
been under pressure all year? and bounces it outside. last week against detroit 17 carries, 48 yards. again he's the back playing instead of the injured marshawn lynch out for the second straight game with a hamstring. sacked 18 times.
tied for the most in the nfl with russell wilson. and that's for a guy who has escaped some pressure. that offensive line has really struggled. >> troy: sacked six times monday night. that number could have been 12
if he wasn't as mobile as he is. >> joe: down the right side. when you look at some of the faces. highlight the guy on the right and that's nowak who is a first year starting center, former defensive lineman in college. practice squad last year.
he's had his hands full. >> troy: he had a rough night monday night with some of the errant snaps that allowed detroit to get back into the ball game. that entire offensive line does, cincinnati, defensively, all that defensive front they have
been outstanding this season. >> joe: handoff for the first down to rawls. so three straight handoffs as the seahawks try to establish that ground game here early. >> troy: i think if you look at cincinnati defensively, and the things that they've been able to
do, overall the numbers look pretty good. their run defense, you do get a little bit deeper. san diego, they were able to run the ball pretty effectively. the chiefs ran the ball pretty well against them, too. so even though seattle has had
some of their issues, along that offensive line, they're going to try to stick to that running game and do so without marshawn lynch. >> joe: first throw wilson has the man. and that is out on the edge, jimmy graham.
let's go to mike hill with a game break. >> mike: packers and rams, how good is rodgers? weapons after weapons for the green bay offense. 31 yards for his second of the season. 7-0 packers.
>> joe: keep an eye on that young man from stanford. thai montgomery to develop into yet another weapon for aaron rodgers. 7-6. handoff, and he breaks free for a first down. what a good run for the rookie
out of michigan. the free agent picks up 23. >> troy: some of the things this offensive line have struggled with and some of the combination blocks. you're going to see the left guard number 68, does a good job helping with his center know
back and then he moves up to the next level and creates a running lane for rawls. that's a nice job of running the football. >> joe: thomas, 23 yard carry. wilson, through it. and now will carry it inside the 35, and he will hop out of
bounds inside the 34. forced out by a.j. hawk, and the seahawks answering what was an impressive opening drive by >> troy: good coverage down the russell wilson able to keep the ball on the inside. you know, such a big part of what they've been able to do
running the football. he always is. but, you take his numbers out of this offense, and they're not running the ball very well. they're in the bottom third of the league. >> joe: smith now in tailback just activated off the practice
squad. he'll take it here. he's got a first down. he's a big body kid. 6'3", 226. played at ohio state. seahawks put tharold simon on i.r. to open up a spot for smith.
he picks up a first down in his first carry in the nfl. >> troy: and he stays in the game. so instead a guy who was on the practice squad gets some action, and trusting him here early in this ball game. >> joe: blitz coming.
wilson protected. wide open to the touchdown is kearse. and what an answer from seattle! and that offensive line, the embattled offensive line did a terrific john on this first possession. >> troy: russell wilson comes
up. you heard him. he changes the call. and we saw coverage by seattle defensively. this time the same thing happens to cincinnati. kearse is just running the corner route, nobody carries him
up the field, and comes off a miscommunication now for both teams that have led to touchdowns. >> joe: 30 yarder to kearse. that's his first touchdown catch of the season. hauschka to try to tie it. which he does.
still over 6:30 left in the opening quarter. good start for russell wilson. jermaine kearse says it's about time. >> joe: they have trophies in the case at boller high school. cincinnati includes larkin. what a good answer from seattle
and it was the ground game that set up the touchdown pass. 46 rushing yards on the drive. and then the 30 yarder to jermaine kearse. 7-7 game. and pete carroll, tom cable are happy with the way the offensive line for seattle has started
this game. >> troy: that was a big drive to answer the score by cincinnati. an offense that had not scored, had not scored an offensive touchdown this season to be able to put something together and answer was big. joe bringing it out again is
tate and again can't get to the 20, barely made the 10. and the seahawks are covering these kicks awfully well. again mccray, >> joe: well, for the seahawks defense, first touchdown they have allowed in their last 23 opponents, that was against the
dynamic combination of the bears, and the lions. now they're taking on one of the best offenses in the nfl. 7-7 game as the seahawks answered. it drive starts at the 11. hill on a bit of a delay. penalty flag flies.
this is a crew that calls a lot of holding penalties. . >> referee: there's a penalty flag on the field. >> joe: we have one here. >> referee: holding, offense, number 81. half the distance to the goal.
>> joe: first penalty flag thrown all game. john perry and his crew average calling over 20 fouls a game. and this group has called 25 offensive holding calls, which is by far the most this season. and it was against tyler kroft. >> troy: i think all the people
at home are probably saying you could say about all these officiating crews, really remarkable how high the penalty count has been this season. >> joe: record setting pace. first and 15. floating one to the sideline, what a throw and catch a.j.
green! on cary williams and andy dalton couldn't have handed it to him better than this. >> troy: that's what you call walking it to the man. perfect relief by a.j. green, gives his quarterback room to put the football along the
boundary. a split to begin the play. but, cary williams, he's going to get opportunities. you're going to throw it in his direction, but you pick out the guy that you feel like he's the last two and that's going to be cary williams for much of this
>> joe: down the sideline, green hit his stride! stays upright. what a move! that's a touchdown! but the flag is down. and this may be coming back. it is another hold. number 77, 10 yard penalty.
replay first down. >> joe: they get whitworth on the hold to bring it all back. what a terrific throw yet again for dalton. but here's a hold on whitworth. >> troy: take a look at it and see. got his left arm out around him.
once you get your arms extended like that the officials are going to get that call right and what a perfect throw by andy he lays that one beautifully up the sideline, all for naught. right now i think seattle's got to take a look at this. if they're going to come up with
cary williams they will mix it they'll come up with press, sometimes they'll play soft. if you're going to match cary williams man to man in a press technique against a.j. green you're going to see a lot more of this on the last two plays. >> joe: 72-yard touchdown called
back because of that holding call. on whitworth. first and 20 now. handoff, right side, jeremy and will play it out front, richard sherman coming up to make the stop, a gain of five. >> troy: it's just remarkable,
you know, the accuracy that andy dalton has shown this year on the deep balls. he's come in, and they do get the ball more vertical, and you touched on it when we came into this game, joe, more than most teams, today you're seeing a lot of horizontal passing.
i think hugh jackson has taken advantage of the weapons that he has, getting the ball vertical. and when you're playing against a defense that likes to play aggressive press coverage like seattle does you're going to get some shots. but andy dalton has been on the
money here this first quarter. >> joe: now the pass broken up. intended target is tyler eifert. wagner, one of the best middle linebackers in the nfl is there defending. may have gotten there a little early, but no call. >> troy: bobby wagner swift to
hear the crowd react to they saw the first time in stadium. it was close. bobby wagner who missed some games last year noticeable in the games that he was not playing especially in run defense, much like the difference we've seen the last
two weeks with kam chancellor back. >> joe: zeitler now comes off the starting right guard, eric winston will take over. there's jackson. he is one of the more creative offensive coordinators around the nfl.
we've seen some of that creativity already. and now, what will he dial up on third and 15. new right guard. bernard will carry it. fourth down. first guy there bruce durban. >> troy: i like the call by hue
jackson. long third down situation. not a good position to be against any defense especially one like seattle. take your medicine. we had the holding penalty that hurt the ability to get the touchdown there.
play field position. >> joe: huber, will stay away for a moment on the hop he gets it and takes off. right down across the 35. they'll mark him at the 37. t.j. dawson on the tackle. this hold by whitworth erased a 72-yard strike from dalton.
>> joe: seattle in this tie game, they take over at their own 37. lift off the edge, seattle runs away from it. and a nice gain on first down by thomas rawls. so far the holds have been the rookie free agent, that one
good for 12. >> troy: they're worried about the boot by russell wilson that we saw that they like to do. and so it opens up a running lane. right now russell wilson is doing a good job of communicating on the line of
scrimmage. he did on the previous possession when they got the touchdown to jermaine kearse. you hear him up there telling the lineman, easy, easy, trying to settle him in. >> joe: sliding down behind the line of scrimage, thomas rawls.
a loss of one. go back to the touchdown here's wilson at the line. >> 51. 51. >> here's a touchdown throw that he gets off of it. when he's saying easy, easy, he's going to change protection
at the line of scrimmage. they work to the linebacker, pick up the pass. >> joe: wilson. able to just get outside the pocket and throw it away. grant the closest one to it and it was dunlap who showed his speed as he chased down russen
wilson who kept it on that little rollout, dunlap is a good one. at eight sacks last year for a defense that had 20 for the >> troy: he had a good year last year. off to another great start this leads the team in sacks.
it will be his job to keep russell wilson in the packet like he was able to on that last play. >> joe: third and 11. wilson comes underneath, but he's brought down just short of a first down, a gain of eight. dennard, second year player out
of michigan state, and darqueze with a good tackle to hold luke willson short of the line of gain and now tate will wait for the punt from jon ryan. >> troy: maybe he can get the ball to his offense with a little better field position than they had the first two
possessions. >> joe: end over end punt. leave it alone, and it will hop into the end zone. drive will start at the 20. tie game here. let's go to curt. >> curt: the eagles sam bradford threw an interception in the end
zone on philadelphia's first drive. the saints take it down the field and cap it off with drew brees, 7-0 in the first. >> joe: curt, thanks. the alds returns to fs1 tonight, game three between toronto and texas.
there's the pitching match-up. don't miss the action only on fs1 and streaming live on fox sports go. >> troy: if it's anything like game two, wow. it will be great for the audience on fox sports one. pretty good stuff.
>> joe: 14 inning affair. 2-0. are the texas rangers. here's a quick throw and a dragged down after a gain of six. speaking of interceptions. aaron rodgers draws a kick at lambeau field.
his first one since december 2nd of 2012, 587 attempts and he threw one. >> troy: what's that like 50 touchdowns or something? >> joe: and no interceptions. he has one today. second and four. not on the same page with
we saw more vin jones on that previous play with the reception, and certainly a lot of people talking about the play of andy dalton and how much better it had been this year. i liked it when he was coming out of college and led a great second round pick for the
cincinnati bengals. but as we talked about on friday it comes down really to what as a team and andy dalton is going to be judged on what happens in january when he is still looking for his first playoff victory. he's still got to get to it's been a great start.
one of the reasons why is because of a guy like marvin jones, who, you know, missed all of last year. >> joe: pass is caught for the first down! and not only is dalton started 4-0 but he has the best quarterback rating in the nfl on
third down. this one good for 21. >> troy: i relie like the route of san u. they bring terry williams into the shot. man-to-man coverage. and another perfect through by >> joe: pass caught, bernard.
got around the tackle of chancellor. brought down by wagner, but a gain of eight. dalton has three pass completions of 20 or more yards already in this half. this quarter. we're under 30 seconds to go.
>> troy: richard sherman who typically stays to the opposite side of the field, they've got him moving. you just don't see that much. so, pete carroll that defensive staff said we've got to adjust some things, now they've got richard sherman moving to play
both sides of the ball. >> joe: just before the end of the quarter, a false start. >> referee: false start, offense, number 65, five yard penalty, second down. >> joe: they're going to put one second back on the game clock. meanwhile, when richard sherman
matched up against the bengals, he did not go with a.j. green back in 2011. in that third start, in the terrific young career of richard sherman. after the way the first quarter unfolded, sherman switched sides and he's looking for number 18.
7-7 game, fast start here in back after this from your local fox station. >> joe: it's a sold-out crowd here. 65,000 plus. saw their bengals go down the field for a touchdown in their first possession.
seattle answered. and now it's second down and seven as we start quart number with the ball at the cincinnati 49. >> troy: well they're definitely matching up richard sherman with a.j. green. and so as i said, not something
that they do much of. they like to keep their corners playing their side of the field. but pete carroll recognizing. >> joe: trying to set back a screen back to the left after rolling out to the right for and there was just nothing third down and seven.
>> troy: i think that's what makes cincinnati, really so dangerous. yes, a.j. green is a big-time receiver, and you've got to be able to answer for him. but, you know, i said it many times, you heard me, joe, i think the third guy in your
lineup really determines whether you're going to be in a close offensive aerial attack. and cincinnati has that. they've got three really excellent wide receivers, but they may also have giovani bernard out in the backfield, tyler eifert as tight end.
>> joe: here's the completion on third down, again, this time it's a.j. green. another first down for this one is good for nine. >> troy: richard sherman is on this is going to be a heck of a battle to watch. this time a.j. green, he wins
that battle. he's inside with a lot of good balls. as a receiver you want that stuck on you in tight coverage in a way and he's able to do that, keep it low and protect himself. excellent relief, and a nice
>> joe: quick throw, dangerous throw and jones is wrapped up immediately. a good play by number 35, who is filling in at that slot, that nickel position with the depth because of injuries, really tested here for seattle. >> troy: he's done a nice job.
he did an excellent job on that we see it so many times. his offense is coming out and throwing that quick pass out to the wide receiver. he read it beautifully. he got there before the blockers to get a hand on it. >> joe: dalton.
back on the bengals side of midfield. and it's cliff avril. and a loss of seven. >> troy: well they want to take another shot up the field. but excellent coverage on the a.j. green, he was going to test richard sherman one more time.
but just couldn't hold the ball lock enough to give him a shot. and cliff avril keeps playing off that edge and able to get to >> joe: second sack of the year for avril. now third and 19. >> troy: a lot of attention paid to the sacks or lack thereof by
don't let that full you. this is still a defensive front that knows how to harass the quarterback. >> joe: here's -- left alone. he had a long way to go. but dalton with an incompletion to a wide open back out of the backfield.
meanwhile, that was the first sack that andy dalton suffered here at home in the early part of the season and just the third sack allowed by this offensive line of the bengals. >> troy: those go hand in hand. excellent offensive line but andy dalton very good about
getting the ball out of his hands. >> joe: good punt by huber. and well covered downfield. and tapped down at the 1. by dennard. darqueze dennard, able to corral it before it@ãº@pãº@ãºãºpãºxã©xã©xnz >> joe: high school football
serious business over on the west side of cincinnati. showed you views from the pit, 10,000 seat stadium. one of the ten best places to watch a high school game by uas today and they are loud here at paul brown stadium as the drive starts and marks it down at the
2. now it's at the 1 as justin britt left too early. >> referee: number 68, half the distance to the goal, first down. >> troy: good news about that, half the distance to the goal, pretty much on the goal line
already. good time right here to use our count for russell wilson. you're not going to lose much as an offense. get a chance to pick up five easy yards. this calls into question what the offensive coordinator is
going to call. a lot can happen down here with a leaky offensive line. >> joe: slow start to the play. unable to plow ahead for 2 1/2 is thomas rawls. >> troy: you get down here and you're backed up. all your focus on is getting a
there's a good look at darrell bevell the offensive coordinator. he's been in seattle for a few years now. when you're used to running the football the way they've been able to do so, now without marshawn lynch and all the
changes that have been well documented, it is hard to call plays. >> joe: second and nine, rawls again. out across the 5. atkins on the tackle, a gain of three. a little breathing room for
and a third and six coming up. >> troy: a little breathing room because you're not leaving your punter much room if you don't get it going off of that line. and a lot of bad things can happen. now, we're going to see whether or not seattle is going to be
willing to try to get the ball down the field and pick up a first down or if they're just going to be content running the football and seeing if they can pick it up that way. maybe move russell wilson out of the pocket. >> joe: jackson checks into the
third down and six. pass is caught. for a first down. kearse has got a touchdown, a 30 yarder. he tied the game at seven. this one good for eight. that's a big first down for >> troy: this is an excellent
job by kearse. that's not an easy catch for him to make. he'd like to have that throw right on your body. knowing that you're between two defenders but he goes up, snatches it out of the air, and does an excellent job in order
to pick up the first down. >> joe: one of many free agents, undrafted players on the outside for the seahawks. rawls. a.j. hawk. the longtime packer, carries this for three yards. here are the men on the outside
and there's only one real draft pick and that's the rookie tyler lockett. but lockett, matthews and kearse all undrafted. >> troy: a lot of undrafted guys. they signed for free agents, they went out and got harvin,
rice, they didn't work out for them. they've had a hard time developing a top notch wide receiver. >> joe: wilson keeps it, doing all he can. still looking to get rid of it. he's going to hop out of bounds.
forced out by jones, a loss of pressure by michael johnson, who is back in cincinnati after a year in tampa bay. >> troy: that's a lot of running around for not much to show for we talked about the night that he had on monday night. made a lot of plays, and was
able to avoid a lot of sacks there against detroit. which certainly helped this team and you've got to take some of the bad that comes along with got to be careful. >> joe: that goes down as a sack. third down and eight.
play clock at zero. >> referee: offense, five yard penalty. >> troy: i can assure you that that last play going down as a sack does not make that offensive line, nor their offensive line coach, tom cable, very happy.
the quarterback should get rid of the football. there's tom cable there. talk about a guy who's had his work cut out for him. the things that seattle has done and who he's tried to have to develop that offensive line speaks to how much he's
respected and thought of within that organization. >> joe: third down and 13, they run it with craig jackson. somehow, jackson able to bounce back from a high ankle sprain. and here he is playing a week later. he gets five, but stop at fourth
down, bengals will get it back. >> troy: fred jackson is pretty incredible. comes back from the high ankle sprain. he had some nice runs. we didn't expect to see him here today but he's seeing a little bit of action.
i like the call by bevel much like hue jackson's call for the bengals, third and long, especially on the road, take your medicine and go play defense. >> joe: looking for a good one and he found it. he grinds tate back inside the
25. well played downfield. and wrestled out of bounds, out across the 30 by ricardo lockett >> joe: today's excite brought to you by nissan. that was today's excitement. at least half of it. we've got a half to go brought
one half played. total yards, about even. one takeaway belongs to seattle. finally able to come up with an interception. they came in as one of only three teams without one. time of possession favors >> troy: a little more offense
than i anticipated coming into both teams did a nice job on their opening possession. the defense stepped in like i thought that they would. and end the half with some offense as well. possible interception by andy dalton the bengals were in field
goal range and a big penalty by whitworth that nullified the touchdown to amg green. >> joe: the rookie lockett, he's all right got one for a touchdown this season. not going to happen here. can't get to the 20. they mark him at the 19.
brought dunn by rex burkhead down to erin. >> erin: thanks, joe. we talked a lot about this seattle offensive line. so many questions going into i just talked to pete carroll coming out of the half. he said i thought the line did
great. we're communicating. we protected the quarterback. we're finally able to run the ball. he said all is well in that department. marvin lewis, though, not so happy with the way russell
wilson late in that first half was able to keep plays alive. he said we got to get to him quick and we got to get to him fast. joe? >> joe: we'll see if they can. rawls, right side. good work up front by the
cincinnati defense. as you said early, troy, the bengals came in with 11 sacks. all 11 by defensive linemen. so this is a tough group to handle up front. and it's been pretty good for seattle so far. >> troy: i think so, too.
when you consider what's happened with this offensive line through the first four weeks. there's been pressure at times but you know, he's been able to navigate that. the big thing like bevel said is they've been able to run the
over 50 yards rushing by thomas he had the 20 plus yarder on one of those carries. >> joe: here's rawls. second down out across the 25. pick up maualuga. >> troy: making it a very manageable third and two. we're seeing some growth, i
guess you could say, with the group up front. there was talk about packers lewis maybe getting some playing time here today at the center position. but, has not gotten into the game yet at this time. >> joe: on third down, pass is
caught by graham for a first third catch for jimmy graham. everybody's been obsessed with how many targets and therefore how many catches graham has had so far. he's still trying to figure out the offense to be able to just react out there for seattle.
>> troy: been criticized a lot in the last few weeks about his lack of blocking. that's not why they traded for he wasn't blocking in new orleans either. he is being asked to do things differently but he's having to learn some things in the passing
game, as well. >> joe: rawls brought down by rey a gain of five. >> troy: you watch him, joe, when he's running routes he's not running routes with the same confidence that he did there in new orleans. he and drew brees had a great
relationship, do exactly what the other one was thinking. that takes a little bit of time to develop. i thought it was interesting in talking to him the other day, that it's a different relationship now with russell wilson.
drew brees is like a big brother to him. now russell wilson, and he, had came into the league about the same time, both accomplished a lot of things. and what he thinks about a lot of things. >> joe: here's smith just
activated on the practice squad. second down and five he gets two third and shorts coming up. maualuga tackle again for the bengals. so far seattle three for five on third down and third and three. on third down. throwing for baldwin.
got behind the defender and baldwin is down inside the 20. got behind dennard and picked up 47. showed earlier in the game the job that russell wilson did with protection. this time he does the same thing.
he knows he's going to take the hit. the bengals are bringing extra people, and you see dennard, he sits on the route he thinks the ball is going to be thrown quickly. here's one batted in the air. picked off by cincinnati!
intercepted by adam jones! and now each side with an interception near the other team's end zone. bengals take over. as they trail by three. for adam jones, pick number two on the year. >>> today's game on fox is

>> joe: russell wilson just threw his third career red zone >> troy: well it's an excellent job by these two linebackers. vincent rey and rey maualuga who got his hand on the ball. they sweep jimmy rey and the ball goes up, pip and able to le it
>> joe: jeremy hill. so cincinnati and andy dalton. they throw an interception going in for the touchdown toward the end of the first half. and now seattle and russell wilson may return the favor. we go back to the interception. >> troy: you get a little better
look at it here. you see jimmy graham is trying to sit it down in the zone. but it was another forced throw by russell wilson. i say another, that's the same thing that hurt andy dalton on his interception, trying to force one down the field with
earl thomas. this time the same thing with russell wilson. >> joe: out of the backfield. lowers his shoulder and has the first down for cincinnati. he plows in to bobby wagner. 12 yards, jeremy hill. they've thrown it to him a
couple of times today. he came in with only one catch >> troy: not a guy who has gotten a lot of balls thrown to that goes to jio bernard. they say that jeremy hill has as good hands as any of the backs that they have on the team. >> troy:
>> joe: offensively for cincinnati -- there are a lot of ways that they could come at you and beat you. jeremy hill i like him. physical downhill runner and of course talked about gio bernard. he's got a lot of different ways to create the match-up issues,
and i think on both sides of the ball really. it's no wonder that so many have looked at this team, and have thought hey, they can contend for the super bowl and they're certainly capeal. one of the most talented teams we've seen in the last few
years. >> joe: good catch by dalton. second and seven. pass, richard sherman. a.j. green, the intended target. third and seven. >> troy: i'm not sure what andy dalton was thinking on this you've got to be really precise
with the football. looks like he was thinking i'm going to make the back shoulder throw. a.j. green was not anticipating richard sherman, a very tough play for him to make. i've seen him make that play a lot of times.
as you have, as well. and you know, he was a wide receiver for a time there at stanford. and he plays the ball as well as any corner in football. and that's why he's so he's on the offensive. when he's playing, on the
defensive side of the ball. >> joe: he's got 24 career interceptions. pass is caught for a first down by jones. williams defending and another completion from andy dalton on good for eight. >> troy: really good job.
good ball placement. excellent route to jones. he gets inside. not bad coverage by cary williams. very difficult to defend once the receivers gets inside >> joe: this ball came out. and we're going to get a
challenge now from the seattle -- >> referee: challenge on the previous play. >> joe: -- sideline. this will be the third challenge of the year for pete carroll. he has won one of the first two. i
>> referee: incomplete pass. the receiver did not maintain possession of the football. the ball hit the ground. it will be fourth and seven. the right hash. 19 yard line. please reset the game clock to 8:59.
the clock will start at the snap. seattle is not charged with their first time-out. >> joe: good challenge by pete carroll. third and seven at the 19. ruled an eight-yard catch. and the first down, and with the
reversal it's fourth down. huber's punt. pro bowler a year ago. tyler lockett. coming to get this one with a fair catch. outside his own 30. seattle with the football. and a thrithout the nfl's
consent is prohibited. >> today's game is sponsored by verizon. watch live local games with nfl mobile only on verizon. >> joe: back in cincinnati. pete carroll a former defensive back at the university of the pacific.
long chat during the break, we see sherman switch sides today. i think we made out the fact that the seahawks again are without marshawn lynch. nfl's leader since 2011. tailback, he gets it. back, and a good run by rawls. out across midfield.
inside the 35, and still going for the touchdown! it's a first rushing touchdown and it's a bigger lead for seattle and how about the offensive line, and thomas >> troy: they do an excellent. tom cable we saw him at the end of the play.
he's got to be excited when he takes a look at how well this offensive line did in their combination block. they cross down the front side. they open up the back side with russell okung making a key block and then it's all thomas rawls. just one touch and he is off to
the races. with an outstanding job of execution. >> joe: reggie nelson had a chance to bring down rawls well short of the end zone, rawls went through it. and this could make it a ten-point game.
17-7 here in cincinnati. and it's the offensive line, and the ground game that's been impressive. >> troy: that offensive line has just done an excellent job. you know, we've seen them grow as this team has progressed. certainly from where they were a
week ago against the lions. and tom cable, as i talked about earlier, he's had his work cut out for him. he's done an outstanding job with this group this week. >> joe: i was just saying the touchdown run took place by we haven't made a ton about the
fact that, well, marshawn lynch isn't here for the second straight week. you could make the case that he's as important as any player is to any unit on any time in and right on cue, thomas rawls rips off the long touchdown. >> troy: i would agree with
that. marshawn lynch really is the heartbeat of this offense. and you know, the way that he's able to pound the football, and be physical, that's where they get that from. but i know they like this thomas rawls, another undrafted free
agent for this football team. they said he has a similar style to marshawn lynch. but an excellent job there just with one cut, recognizing what he had on the back side of that blocking scheme. but all set up by that offensive line.
they've been beaten up quite a bit here over the first four weeks of the season. but they're having a good day against what i think is a really good defensive front by the >> joe: we saw that stat first rushing touchdown of the season first rushing touchdown allowed
by cincinnati. good defense. and it's a ten-point game. >> troy: they thought about it. >> joe: going to bring it out. and that's the third time he's done that in the game. this crowd is getting frustrated with that.
brandon tate with another poor decision. how about rawls, who wasn't free and clear, nelson had a shot at him, and thomas just kept on plowing. >> troy: got the ball high and tight. they taught him well.
there's central michigan and protecting the football. obviously a play right there that nelson has to make. tom cable and when you think about it since he's been in seattle, they took j.r. sweezy in the seventh round a defensive lineman and turned him into
their starting right guard. that was a project for tom cable. and he's been asked to do the same thing with drew know back who as we know struggled on monday night. played defense. moved to offense.
playing f t first that's the kind of trust and confidence they have in tom he's one of the best in the business. >> joe: eric winston has taken over at right tackle for andre smith, trying to get word on what happened to smith as
bernard carries it right side for four yards. they're looking at the elbow of andre smith. so winston who filled in earlier in the game as guard is now out at right tackle. that 69-yard touchdown run by rawls, second longest run in the
nfl this season. ronnie hillman, 72 yarder against the vikings. last week. number one. second and six. out of the backfield. good play. and bernard made the catch, and
k.j. wright made the hit. a gain of two, third and four coming up. >> troy: that's why the defense, a lot of reasons, the defense is good. but their linebacker play is really what differentiates them from a lot of other defensive
groups because they're able to match up against the speed guys, and k.j. wright to be able to close on a guy like bernard the way that he just did, pretty >> joe: third down and four. pass is caught! for the first down. that's eifert and he made
catches, the catch in heavy traffic, good response. >> troy: knowing you're going to get blown up and concentrate on the football, and the bang bang play but just enough for the >> joe: the graze on the right arm, the elbow of tyler eifert who was injured in week one last
marvin jones. missed all of last year. a.j. green missed four games. including the playoff game. weapons are back for dalton. there's the handoff and a fumble. here's wagner. back for the touchdown, seattle!
michael bennett knocked it out. they tried to reverse it to rex burkhead. and wagner gets the touchdown to open up this lead. >> troy: well no fault of they don't block michael bennett. you're going to see after the
exchange michael bennett is in the black field. nobody picked him up off the line of scrimmage and it just surprises burkhead immediately and not able to then steer the and wagner there to pick it up. but, i don't know if it was a blown assignment or they're just
expecting to be able to influence michael bennett off the line of scrimmage. but he shoots a gap, as you see, they don't touch him at all. not a good idea. >> joe: seahawks now have scored two touchdowns in 117 seconds. to lead by 17.
the 4-0 cincinnati bengals here at home in front of a sold-out crowd. but it's seattle that's taking over. leading by 17. aft ska >> joe: this defense is playing
now. kam chancellor with the first interception of the season today. fumble returned by bobby wagner. one of the best young linebackers in the nfl. maybe the best young linebacker not named luke he'sly.
maybe wagner is just as good. getting better and better as the years go by. his fourth year. there to pick it up and take it in 23 yards. making it a 17-point game. here's the return by tate. this time he's at least able to
clock some points. down by ricardo lockette. fun to watch frank thomas and pete rose go back and forth on the pregame show. fs1, and streaming live on fox the rangers up two games to nothing, winners of the a.l. west.
back to the fumble. >> troy: there's no look. you see michael bennett. he comes off the line of scrimmage untouched. we talk about eric winston coming in for andre smith at right tackle. was it him or kevin zeitler the
right guard? you can't imagine that you're just going to turn a defense of lineman loose on a play like that on a reverse. but, they did, and it made michael bennett made them pay. >> joe: seattle was offside on that last kickoff.
they tack on five yards. at the 28. that's where the drive starts. bernard. you remember how cincinnati started this game. they marched right down the field and scored a touchdown. but since then three punts, an
interception, a fumble, a long 72-yard touchdown called back because of a hold and dalton threw an interception going in just before the half. into the seattle end zone, second and ten. bengals pick it up. down the sideline!
and a flag flies! marvin jones the target. gary williams, back there in coverage. >> troy: let's take a look at >> referee: -- 26 -- >> troy: they get caught up. i think it was a good call, actually.
send out the left arm like he did. even though marvin jones was able to run through that initially and then they get caught up. but i think it was a good call there by the official. you know these bengals they're
not accustomed to playing from behind. come in this game, less than two minutes in this season we're playing from a deficit. >> joe: then off the hands of that was a 29-yard penalty by the way. first down on the pass
interference against cary >> troy: so now you look at this game and there's still plenty of time, of course, a quarter and a half left to play. but with a 17-point deficit. cincinnati gets out of it what they've -- >> joe: they've got big plays
throughout the season. but they've run the ball 51% of the time. certainly a lot of that goes out of the playbook and going to start to start throwing the ball more than what they had to, at least this year. >> joe: andre smith back in at
and a sack! as the seahawks defense keeps coming. deshawn shead, that's his first of the year. >> troy: they bring shead off the slot receiver and andy dalton never sees it. like the offensive line, they
could have picked it up but they're directed that way. i don't know that they were. but nevertheless, they got a free rush. he gets sacked. >> joe: bengals allowed two sacks through the first four games.
they've allowed two today. third and 15 now. dalton, throws it away. and the seattle defense is humming now. it's fourth down. great coverage by the seahawks. >> troy: excellent coverage down the field.
they've been able to get pressure then in the pocket. saw the blitz off the edge. there's that last play dalton trying to buy himself some time. richard sherman on a.j. green. and i've seen this defense a lot of times. once they get cranked up and
they start getting some momentum in their direction they're hard to move the football against. >> joe: the defensive coordinator for seattle, first year and his group is playing very well on the road. good play downfield. it was tate who saved it.
and then it was downed by dennard. the drive up by joe we have witnessed some big hits and witnessed seattle taking over this game here in now an opportunity for the bengals defense to make a play. drive starts at the 2.
handoff to rawls. good play by reggie nelson. and rawls coming off that 69-yard touchdown run. good for two. stream sunday afternoon games right on your smartphone with nfl mobile. second down and eight.
>> troy: you talked about it, joe, you get this offense backed up and you're down this many points and you've got a good defensive front. atkins not in the game. time to make a play. >> joe: penalty flag. free play.
and it's the fullback toque u few. it looks like the defense came across and it is against now asking pete carroll does he want to accept the penalty or not? >> referee: offside, defense, number 94, five yard penalty.
we will replay second down. >> troy: we talked about it a little bit earlier in this ball game when seattle was backed up, you don't lose much if you draw your own guy outside. this time they get the defense. nice job now making it a very short second down.
>> joe: like to put a fitbit on pete carroll, what kind of mileage he racks up during the course of the game. 64 years old. doesn't look it. full of fire. second down and three. here's rawls for the first down.
>> troy: there's supposed to be a little pressure involved in this job. but if there is, pete carroll doesn't show it, does he? he did what he did at usc and hasn't while he's been here in there's nobody having more fun as a coach in this league than
what pete carroll is. part of that is he's been on the winning side a lot of times over the course of his career both at usc and here. >> joe: 59-35 with seattle, including 7-in the postseason and a winner in super bowl xlviii.
heart breaking loss last year to new england. on first down, wilson, airs it out. down the sideline, the rookie, lockette, he's got it. what a throw and what a catch. working on drake kirkpatrick, good for 40.
>> troy: drake kirkpatrick, he was deep -- >> joe: i don't know. and a challenge flag comes out. that looked like left foot down, right foot out of bounds. >> referee: cincinnati challenged the previous play of the completed play, at the
sidelines. we'll review the play. >> joe: well we've seen seattle challenge successfully. catch. left foot in. right foot out. this play is coming back. while they're looking at it,
we'll go to mike hill with a >> mike: you think hill is glad to be back in green bay. 65 yards, already his fifth >> ted: of the season. he had six all of last season. 21 packers over the rams in the third. back to you.
>> joe: all right, mike, thank you. i would say the answer to that question is yes, you think anybody's happy they picked james jones up in fantasy football after he got released by the giants? you think the giants would like
to have that decision back? >> troy: hard to believe. said it back when we had the packers week one that jones couldn't make the raiders or the giants but he could make the green bay packers. great pickup by them. you saw there that he was out of
bounds. greg kirkpatrick was beat bad off the line of scrimmage. russell wilson just keeps him in pretty easy completion. the ball hung up on him a little bit. looks like that one's going to come back.
but this defense has, like i said, they have backed up. they got a chance to make a play defensively and get the ball right back to their offense, and seattle is stringing some plays together. >> joe: here's the call by john parry.
>> referee: after review, it's an incomplete pass, the second foot was out of bounds. it will be second and 10 at the 13 yard line, clock will remain at 3:28. starts on the snap. cincinnati is not charged with a time-out.
>> joe: i like john parry. he doesn't go with the whole drama thing. he just says right away. incomplete pass. good challenge by marvin lewis. who is now also two or three in challenges in season. >> troy: the turnaround has been
since the end of the first quarter, it's been all seattle. but offensively and defensively. an interception and a fumble return for a touchdown. a couple of sacks, as well. cincinnati's defense going to make a play here or it will be in the category of getting late.
>> troy: they need to make a stop right away. able to get the ball back to their offense with outstanding feed position. but obviously an important defensive possession here for the bengals. >> joe: second down and ten.
here's rawls. he can fight through tackles. brought down at the 19 yard line by maualuga. >> troy: i've been impressed with him. like i said, we come into this game and of course marshawn was out last week, and you just
wonder, what you're going to get cincinnati, their run defense, as i said earlier in the ball game, it looks better than what it probably really has been. because a couple of teams had run the ball well against them. >> joe: third down and three. wilson is sacked!
dunlap. and the bengals make a play. a loss of seven. >> troy: dunlap he's had himself a nice afternoon. being able to get after the quarterback, good coverage on the back end by cincinnati, and just not much of a chance there
for russell wilson. dunlap, we've seen him get by the right tackle a few times in >> joe: adam jones now waiting for the punt. second sack today for cincinnati comes at a good time. hits a low liner, one blocker in front of him.
and across the 45, and you can add 15 onto it. that was a late hit. and it will bring the ball inside seattle territory. it will be a 57-yard punt, 16-yard return. and then add 15 yards at the end, because of that.
as they threw the flag on mike morgan. >> troy: i saw the same thing you did, joe, looks like that's what they're going to -- >> referee: during the return, illegal block in the back, number 47, 10 yard penalty. >> joe: this crowd was
anticipating the same thing. that's right when they threw the flag, but instead of that late hit by morgan, they get an illegal block in the back against p.j. dawson. and so instead of going 15 to the right, as we look at it, 15 to the left, and there's dawson,
>> troy: p.j. dawson hits derrick coleman. >> joe: right there. >> troy: i thought they were going to get mike morgan for the late hit, as well. so what was going to be outstanding field position for cincinnati, even without a
penalty, they get backed up, because of that hit. >> joe: at the 33. flag flies. and dalton gets rid of it. it's a hold against cincinnati. so they're going backwards. >> referee: holding. offense number 71.
ten yard penalty. >> joe: get andre smith, getting his elbow worked on earlier back in there, and there he is, 71. >> troy: it looks almost more like self-defense. i couldn't tell who that was exactly. looked like cliff avril.
sure enough, ran right over the top of him. this job that avril does backed him right up, and then he pulls it down. and he gets called for the hold. >> joe: third offensive holding call against cincinnati. first and 20.
and caught, eifert. gets the ten yards back, plus. he gets 12. up to the 35 yard line, second and eight. good completion on first and 20 for cincinnati. but, now coming up on a minute and a half left in the third
quarter. cincinnati starts speeding things up now offensively. >> joe: second and eight. >> troy: up top, joe, if they want to take a shot down the >> joe: that's jones up there. and sacked again! this time it's bennett.
and the offensive line is breaking down for cincinnati. a loss of five. >> troy: up front defensively, freed up bennett for a clear shot. they were looking to that side up top, three on three and one on one on the top of the screen.
but here's michael bennett. the job that he does, and being able to get a clean shot on andy >> joe: and four sacks allowed today, and through the first four games for the cincinnati offense. now third and 13. pass is -- can't find anywhere
to go with the football. tyler eifert, the intended target. but that was nowhere near the yardage needed. just an overwhelming effort now by seattle's defense. >> troy: seattle as we said, they have given up some big
plays this year. that's not something you legally see a lot of from this defense. they're very disciplined and they're well coached. but the underneath coverage is difficult to navigate. and right now with the bengals having to throw the football,
just unable to really free anybody up. >> joe: lockett. play made by tyler kroft. now the seattle offense, which includes jimmy graham, who has an interesting hobby. aaron? >> erin: now, we loved hearing
this story yesterday. jimmy graham, a pilot. he was telling us all about the planes he has and now that he's moved to seattle, he's actually building a sea plane. you see him right here doing air boughtics. yes.
i talked to jeff baldwin, we talked to pete carroll about this. they said they are good to let this -- go on the plane with and troy and i love this part. he would go from new orleans to the keys just to get lunch. down to advantage to get some
sushi. i'm game. i love it. it's like the pretty woman movie. >> troy: in fact it was on one of those excursions for lunch, he leaves new orleans, heads to florida in the off-season to
have an afternoon on the beach and that's why he got the call from sean payton telling him this is not a joke, we've just traded you to seattle. i don't know what that's like. >> joe: stunning shock. i don't know who was more shocked at that, graham or drew
brees. >> troy: i know how brees felt. >> joe: it's a 17-point game after three. off to the fourth quarter we go. dominant effort by the >> joe: through the first four games cincinnati as we've said has spent less than two minutes
total trailing. they ran the record of 4-0. today 15, and now we're into the final 15 minutes. second down and seven for ball at their own 19. there is rawls, he's had a big day. 18 carries now.
153 yards. and always wondered who was the next back speed for seattle. robert turbin was the guy who was behind him and then he got hurt. they cut him at the end of camp and now he's picked up by cleveland.
christian michael was traded to dallas. they end up with thomas rawls. he's looked great today. >> troy: the running game supports for all things especially important for this team. we'll see today what a
difference makes being able to run the football. rawls has been outstanding as you said. this offensive line, been just as good. wilson fires down the sideline, in complete. for jermaine kearse.
>> troy: excellent job again by this defense for cincinnati snowing they've got to make some stops. they can't allow the seahawks to take time off the clock, so they force a punt. we'll see whether or not cincinnati is able to get
anything going. but time is running out. >> joe: adam jones waiting jon ryan. line drive. opportunity for jones. cincinnati needs one. and they get one. a great return from adam jones.
and after a 46-yard punt, it's a 35-yard return. and it took the punter jon ryan to make the tackle. and that's a little jolt here >> troy: it's a great job by adam jones and this punt return team being able to get the ball back to their offense with
outstanding field position. >> joe: well now as cincinnati takes over we can talk about the offense for the bengals and what they need to do. they need to protect better. they need to give dalton a little more time. this looks more like the
seahawks team we're used to seeing here today. >> troy: i do think that kam chancellor coming back has had a profound impact on this defense. >> joe: here's bernard. it was easy to say, the last couple of weeks, but they didn't face an offense like cincinnati.
you know, today. and so this was going to be the real test for this defense as to where they are. and they play with great confidence. they're flying around. they've done some nice things especially in the second half
against a really explosive offensive attack. >> joe: cincinnati opened the game with an 86-yard touchdown since then seven possessions, five punts and two turnovers. hand off is to bernard. and bernard hits a hole with a head of steam and he's got a
first down inside the 15. a 13-yard carry. here's curt with a game break. >> curt: speaking of 13, in 13 seconds philadelphia eagles scored two touchdowns. this 13 yarder gave them a 23-10 lead over the new orleans san antonios.
joe, troy and erin? >> joe: well the eagles need meanwhile the seahawks don't need to see this. bobby wagner injured on that last carry by bernard. 13 yarder which was cincinnati's longest run of the day. and wagner takes a knee as they
look at him on the field. >> troy: clearly you see bobby wagner down, depending on the seriousness of the injury, what it would mean to this defense not having them in the lineup. they've got a lot of playmakers. bobby wagner has really come into this own this season.
>> joe: that's him stretching out to make the tackle. i'm not so sure wagner could have gotten off the field. but i think the sideline told bobby to take a knee, take a breathe, give the defense a chance to catch their breath and try and stand up here and make a
play here against cincinnati. bengals trying to get back in hand off to bernard. >> troy: go back to that last run just prior to this. off that same action that we saw burkhead fumble because they didn't block michael bennett inside.
they ran the same action. they didn't block michael bennett that play either and he got up the field. makes me start to wonder whether or not anybody really messed up on that previous play. when the ball was on the ground. this time they did the
overaggressiveness and able to hit it in the middle. >> joe: second and six. dalton end zone, man open, touchdown! number two on the day for tyler >> troy: eifert vertical off the ball and they just don't carry him up to see.
it was kam chancellor again who has support defensive position. he doesn't carry him up the seam and then you've got cary williams who's trying to come off of his man on the outside. they exploit the weakness within that zone and a touchdown for >> joe: the ten yard touchdown
catch by eifert. good catch. dalton found him. and it was set up by the adam jones season best 35 yard punt return. eifert, in to the end zone. it's now a ten-point game. subway restaurants.
get to subway for the chicken and bacon ranch melt. subway, eat fresh. by microsoft, the official tablet of the nfl. and by directv, don't just watch tv, directv. >> joe: a&w style drive-in in hamilton, serving hot dogs and
root beers for over 75 years. jake, from cincinnati. so, knows more about the city than marty brenneman as we go through this day. the bengals, and the seahawks. now a ten-point game. lockett will take a knee. we will take a break.
seattle will start at the 20. >> joe: how's this one going to end? 12:18 left in the fourth seattle up by ten. starting at the 20. and the defense for cincinnati,n to it. begging the crowd to
rawls out wide to the left, pass over the middle to luke willson, the tight end. tyler eifert with a two-touchdown day. >> troy: carbon copies of each other. he just runs deep, up the same route there.
that's the first touchdown. you come back to the second one, now watch earl thomas over here. he's been cheating to that other side on both of those either he has to play it more neutral to the middle and react to that throw or kam chancellor has to carry it.
two easy touchdowns for the >> joe: pretty good spot on that catch and rumble by wilson and now rawls, enough for a first >> troy: with over 11 minutes to play, still plenty of time. if cincinnati is able to make a stop and get the ball right back to their offense the bengals
could go back to running their offense, whether that's running the football, or throwing the football, but they've got some options then. they don't have to go into such a hurry-up mode. that is a big touchdown getting them back into it, doing it with
still a lot of time left in this rawls, 35. second down coming up. today for rawls, 20 carries, 160 yards. playing for the injured marshawn lynch did practice this week, by the way, out with a hamstring they hope to have him back for
their carolina game next week. rawls again. hit by peko. and rawls, who has more yardage today than he had for the season coming in. is brought down, third down third down and a couple. >> troy: that's a big-time
collision there with peko and peko doing a good job coming off the block. that was a big-time collision. >> joe: it will be a big first down if seattle can convert. wilson spinning around. down he goes. gets back up.
and then just throws it away. and it's fourth down, the incomplete pass stops the clock at 9:39. >> troy: it's an outstanding job by the bengals. russell wilson tries using the hard count to draw them offside. they hung in there well and they
contain him. once he started scrambling around, just a good defensive series there by cincinnati. forces the punt. >> joe: one first down in that fourth down, ryan to punt now. tate on the return. decent return up near the 30.
didn't get all the way there. >> joe: together the nfl and the american cancer society encourage everyone to join the fight against breast cancer. learn more about a crucial catch day on october 13th. find out how you can help make a crucial catch at nfl.com/pink.
drive starts at the 29 yard cincinnati down ten. pass caught. just across the 34 yard line by a gain of six. >> troy: joe, we saw earlier in the game the job that a.j. green was doing, bringing some big plays down the field to him and
terry williams was in coverage. as we pointed then since then richard sherman has been on him most of the time. he is here again. and he has not caught a ball here in this second half. only targeted one time. i thought andy dalton would
continue to throw his way but he hasn't. i think he's got to start giving him some opportunities. if he hasn't gotten any looks really in this second half of the game. >> joe: second and four. breaks the tackle.
has the first down, near the 44. went around chancellor. here's erin. >> erin: bobby wagner is back in the game after we were told he was questionable, return with a right shoulder injury. he got hurt sometime in the first half of this game, guys,
because that's when they had to tape it up. he was fighting with the athletic training staff after they were trying to test that shoulder and said he was ready to go. bruce irvin is on the sidelines. he was limping around but told
trainers he is fine. >> joe: erin thank you. wagner back in there. that's a big piece for seattle. clock is running, 8:10 left. on first down. sacked. trying to step through trouble, could not make it.
cassius is there for the start. a second year player out of ucla. here's the coverage. >> troy: andy dalton looks like he really knew exactly where he was going go with the ball. the pocket is starting to collapse on him.
and just unable to escape it. that time they had richard sherman matched up on marvin jones. >> joe: fourth sack for this and the time-out is taken by the so we'll step aside. second down when we come back. >> joe: cincinnati is going to
have to make these possessions count. second dound and 13 with their ball at their own 41. down by ten. >> easy. hey, easy. >> joe: throw, caught. pass is caught by sanu.
has gone to sanu twice now on this possession. this one a big one. good for over 20 yards. 25 for a first down, bengals. >> troy: that's an excellent route by mohamed sanu that frees himself up. good job, andy dalton does at
he gets the protection that he wants. he knows he's getting pressure, the ball is out. and an excellent job for the >> joe: here's dennard. good push up front by seattle's defense, no gain. k.j. wright.
who is in there for the seahawks, not alone. >> troy: overall cincinnati is just, you know, you wouldn't expect this coming in. you've got to make some bounce, constantly throw the ball as you come in to this game. but it's a hard defense to run
the football against. they've not run the ball all that well. bernard's been really the only guy with any kind of success. jeremy hill not much at all. when you look at him, andy dalton -- >> joe: dalton, with sanu, he's
inside the 30. right now the bengals are averaging 3.1 yards per carry. >> troy: you're right seattle's defense stepped it up there. jeremy hill just had 13 yards on eight carries. they've been able to hit them on quick carries but nothing they
can really rely on on a consistent basis. >> joe: no catches for a.j. green in the second half. >> troy: they've got to start throwing him the ball. i know that he's got an awfully good player against him. richard sherman is outstanding.
but we've seen the first half against him you've got to give him a chance. >> joe: backing up as he throws. first down the clock continues to wind, as he takes it to the 21. >> troy: looks like he might take it down the field to marvin
working that inside position, knowing that he was open, he had separation, he could pick up the had to dive, grabbed it. had a little room out there. able to get a little more on his body. >> troy: just communication between those two guys.
dalton thought he was going to run out of the break and eifert pulled up. >> joe: perfect drive for delayed handoff, giovani he takes it to the six. bengals right back up to the dalton to the 5. and that doesn't accomplish
anything except running more time off the clock. a gain of one. avril on the tackle. and dalton wants him to hurry >> troy: avril played that beautiful. handed it off, looks like bernard had somewhere to go with
but avril collapses on it, and then he's still able to come out and make a play on dalton. just an excellent job on his part. >> joe: a lot of time coming off the clock after that carry by and dalton is going to take it right up the guts.
and andy dalton saw something he loved, and that's what he saw. >> troy: he calls the quarterback deeper but russell bodine the center he has to make the key block in on the nose and he does and then dalton just hits him before k.j. wright is able to make a play on him.
just a gutsy call there by dalton with the clock running down he's able to punch it across. >> joe: five yard touchdown run. second touchdown carry of the season for dalton. the extra point, if it's good, will make it a three-point game.
24-21. 14 straight put up by the the 4-0 bengals. the most unique voice in sports is on fs1. join colin coward as he brings you his sports talk along with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment every
week day. the herd with colin cowherd. fs1 consider you can find colin cowherd. there's the drive gets them to within three points. andy dalton perfect throwing it and perfect mentally as he took that one right up the middle to
the five yard touchdown run. >> troy: he was very patient, methodical. he was perfect on the drive and able to come away with a touchdown. now put the pressure right back on the seattle. the one thing that's hurting
cincinnati as you go down the stretch here they burned a time-out already in this half. they just have two left. still have the two-minute warning to go but they'll be relying on that defense once again to make a key stop and that's what they've been able to
do. they've been able to get off the field, get the ball back to their offense. they're going to be asked to do it one more time. >> joe: focus also goes right back to the offensive line for so much better here today.
but they're going to have to hope it's a hold because it's time for seattle to run the and they've done that today. but rawls, 21 carries, 163 give you a recap. cincinnati a great start. they went right down the field. but then it was an answer by
jermaine kearse to tie the game at 7. from russell wilson. 30 yards out. then near the end of the half, an interception by thomas, field goal it was a 10-7 game. the long run by thomas rawls for a touchdown.
then a fumble return for a touchdown by bobby wagner. made it a 17-point game. bengals have scored 14 straight, trail by three. seattle takes over at the 20. left side. good play up front by we'll go to curt with a game
break. >> curt: the browns were down against baltimore 21-9. but check out this touchdown the tight end goes up, pulls it down, between his legs for the grab. this is your third touchdown in the last three, 22-21 in the
fourth. >> joe: with that great catch it is second and nine. he gets to the 25, maybe the 25 1/2 down by dunlap. and a time-out taken by they have one left in a big third down coming up. >> troy: big third down and when
you look at what seattle is now going to try to do. clearly they're trying to take they'll keep this drive alive with the risk of not taking much time off the clock with an incompletion. he's got to play to win right but the defense has gotten tough
here in this second half and have done a nice job. >> joe: the one thing you have with russell wilson, where seattle sits in the nfl west, is the ability to put him in a position to throw one if it's not there, try and run for the first down, and keep the clock
running. there's thomas rawls. seahawks and shaun alexander, hard to believe that marshawn lynch all these years, here's the big third and four. here's wilson. he is going to be brought to the ground.
and it's fourth down. atkins made the play. i'm surprised they let that play go. didn't look like seattle was at the at the snap. >> troy: didn't look like they were at all. they do get away with it.
you look at geno atkins, as soon as russell wilson steps up he makes the play and they're all over jimmy graham, and just an outstanding job defensively. geno atkins makes a big-time play, at a critical time in this >> joe: cincinnati does take their time-out.
their final time-out. they're going to put a little bit of time back on the clock. 2 1/2 to go. and adam jones will be waiting as we look ahead to next week, week six. panthers at the seahawks. a good one, late.
cardinals and steelers early. redskins and jets, the bears and the lions. a lot of action left here today. three-point game, cincinnati about to get it back. good point. no fair catch called for by return and now he's brought down
but they're whistling this play dead back at the spot where he caught the football. it looked like he called a fair catch and then just took off. >> troy: i thought he gave like a safe sign. i didn't see that he raised his hand for a fair catch.
>> joe: yeah. you have to definitively wave it -- that was close. over your shoulder and up. and now the officials are get together for the moment they've brought it all the way back to the spot where jones caught it. >> troy: and i didn't even -- in
realtime i didn't even think he had done that much. i thought he used both hands -- >> referee: signal, return team number 24, five yard penalty. >> joe: not only do they not get the big return by adam jones, but it's a five-yard penalty on top.
and let's say this, he doesn't do that action, carroll -- steven carroll is right there to make the play and carroll pulled up, i think carroll thought that the fair catch was called for. >> troy: well, you know, you got to give him a full fair catch if, in fact, it's going to be a
i think there was some gamesmanship there on adam jones' part and you see he's telling the official that, you know, what he did was purposely done to try to deceive the defense, or deceive the coverage he gets away taking his helmet off.
that should have been a 15 yard penalty right there. >> joe: instead they just get the five yard penalty. 2:17 left. no time-outs. pass is caught by bernard and he is smacked by k.j. wright. that will likely take us to the
two-minute warning. >> troy: you'd rather that ball just be incomplete. really no gain on the play and run it down to the two-minute warning. a lot of time off the clock. >> joe: second down and nine on the other side of
>> joe: this was ruled a fair catch signal on the field. big return nullified as they bring it back. and that's adam jones taking his helmet off. not flagged for that. jones talking to him after a gain of one before the
second down and nine. dalton, into it, over the middle. he's got marvin jones. and jones will be given a first in case you're wondering, mike nugent's career long is 55 which would mean getting it to the 37 yard line of the
seahawks. he had a 57 yarder in the postseason. down the sideline, going for a big one. and incomplete with a flag! with williams in coverage. >> troy: i saw some contact at the end of this play before the
ball arrived. he grabbed the right arm. he's grabbing marvin jones' left arm. -- to go with it. >> referee: -- number 26. automatic first down. >> joe: that's a good call, joe. and they've had opportunities
throughout this game. we saw earlier they took their shots. they haven't taken many here in the last few quarters but now with the game on the line they go after cary williams. he's locked up in press a big play.
a big penalty on cary williams. >> joe: 27 yards of field position for the 45. of seattle. >> troy: talking about eight more yards to be within range. >> joe: here's eifert. oh, what a catch by tyler eifert!
he's down at the 20. what a grab! for eifert, who's had a two touchdown day. that's his most important catch. now to hand it to bernard. almost out but they're saying he's down. bernard, who has not lost a
fumble in over 444 touches coming in, had his knee go down before the ball came out. let's go back to this catch by >> troy: that's an excellent job of eifert going and getting the but andy dalton has a great job in the pocket, knowing he's got pressure.
just laying it out there. >> joe: clock continues to wind. dalton, end zone, incomplete. well now it's third and four. pressure there by frank clark, the rookie, second round pick third and four, no time-outs left. they're well within field goal
range. here is the run by bernard. and no doubt the elbow was down. and the ground caused a fumble. so good no fumble call there. then the incompletion now it's third and four and nugent, has been anything but automatic this >> troy: he's been inconsistent.
with 24 seconds, andy dalton they don't have to get the ball out of bounds. he can check it underneath. seattle has to cover the entire >> joe: dalton, and now with 15 seconds and counting, it's fourth down, and they cannot spike the ball.
so they have to rush on, snap it, good snap. good kick. tie game! no time left. and the 31 yarder in a fire-drill ties this game, and that was well done by darren simmons' special teams crew on
the field goal unit. >> troy: they were ready to go. they knew what happened because you're expecting them to get the first down or the ball incomplete. dalton, he keeps it, he's running with the ball, short of the first down, they're able to
get him onto the field, get the field goal to tie it. here's eifert who he lies out. this is an outstanding job of going against the ball. andy dalton hung in the pocket. he had pressure coming in his face. k.j. wright was barreling down
on him. he laid it up. and put it the only place he could to really give this guy a chance. but that guy then has to go make the play and he does. so a lot of questions about andy dalton and where is he, and you
know, is he as good as what he has shown here through the first four weeks. it's a great job with the game on the line of getting your team down there in a position to tie this game up. >> joe: he led the 17-point come >> referee: each team will have
two time-outs. each team will have an opportunity to possess the it is heads. won the toss. begin the overtime quarter, seattle won the toss. >> joe: seattle starts the overtime with the football.
the bengals have gone touchdown, touchdown, field goal to tie it. what a catch by eifert to help set it up. into overtime we go. in cincinnat >> joe: the rules now in overtime. the coin toss determines
it's seattle. both teams have an opportunity to possess the ball unless the first possession by seattle is a touchdown or a safety for each side gets a couple of time-outs. go to the booth for replay reviews.
and there's darren simmons. his crew gets a lot of credit for being ready for that field goal unit to come on and pick a 31 yarder. here's the transition to the field goal unit, after andy dalton was knocked down short of >> troy: it's just an
outstanding job by darren simmons on the sidelines having his unit ready to go in the event that dalton is sacked or he keeps the ball, the ball is short of the first down, you're anticipating the clock stopping. or it being a first down. so for them to be ready on the
sidelines and immediately get out onto the field, and make that field goal to send this game into overtime, that's just an outstanding job on his part. >> joe: it was fourth down so they couldn't spike it to stop the clock. now seattle with a chance to win
it with a touchdown. and brought down by maualuga. >> troy: the seattle offense has just had a tough time. the last four possessions, they've just not been able to do anything with it. this defense, they are playing well right now.
but having a hard time getting on the offensive side of the ball for seattle. we'll see if they do any play action at this time. the receivers, they split out wide to the boundary and every time today they've handed the ball off.
>> joe: wilson keeps it. brought down short of a first down by three yards. vincent rey on the tackle. third and three coming up.d thr right here. >> troy: a big third an i've just got to believe he's a former basketball player, you
get him in a position where he can body up somebody, keep this possession going. he's right here in the block. >> joe: pass is caught by the rookie lockett. and tyler lockett out of bounds with a gain of seven, but most importantly a first down.
lockett looks like he's limping a little bit. he comes back to the huddle. >> troy: that's a big, big conversion for seattle. he's playing soft they tweak jimmy graham there in the >> joe: wilson will keep it. get around rey and slides down
at the 39. he picks up five. >> troy: going into this no huddle. they're not certainly playing against the clock at this time. but russell wilson having to do a lot of it on his own right >> joe: end of a long day trying
to keep that defense back pedaling, tired. here's jackson brought down in the backfield. and a penalty flag flies. as brandon thompson makes the john parry will give us the it's a hold against seattle. marvin lewis wants to meet them
>> referee: holding offense number 76, ten yard penalty. replay second down. >> troy: brandon thomas, brandon thompson that is, he gets off the ball so quickly that russell okung is out of position so he shoots the gap and he holds him and thompson will make the play
on the ball here. >> joe: second down and 15. wilson backed up, throws, down the middle. he's got lockett. incomplete, broken up. a loca and kirkpatrick were back keep as locket had to wait for that throw to get to him.
>> troy: russell wilson was able to really step into this throw. he's moving around and just was not able to get his body into the throw. it hung up into the air on him. lockett was wide open down the you see russell wilson taking a hit at the end of that play.
the ball hung up on him. completely turned him loose, in the secondary. >> joe: kirkpatrick comes off the field limping. he was back there to help break it up. and you see the hit on russell that was vicious as he let that
ball go. couldn't step into it. third down and 15. underneath, jackson -- vincent rey. on the stop, a gain of nine. and now cincinnati would need just a field goal to win the game, as tate goes back for the
punt from jon ryan. >> troy: you can't say enough about the job that this defense has done here in this second half. they were aided by the penalty on that drive by russell okung. but force a third and long and then come up and make a play on
the ball carry. >> joe: no doubt about. see where they mark it. at the 26. dalton has been hot. he started out hot. then threw a late first pass interception in the seattle end zone.
his last three possessions he's gone touchdown, touchdown, field goal and he has been on target, now over 300 yards, and he's got a rushing touchdown. which is the second of the two. the other one to eifert. it's been impressive the way they've come back.
>> troy: yes, it has. he's done it without much of a running game. we've seen some nice runs from overall hasn't got a lot of help out of the running game. he's brought them from behind. got them into overtime. and now gets a chance to take
his team down the field and win a football game. tight end, across to the 30. picked up five. last three bengal drives, andy dalton has gone 10 for 11. now you include that, 11 out of 12. so when it matters the most,
he's only missed once. >> troy: you know, how do you play in the fourth quarter. how do you play in overtime right now? you know, we saw what happened when he tried forcing one early in the game. but since then he's been pretty
patient in what he has done. been banged around a little bit but he's hung in there. played well. >> joe: four guys to the top. he throws left to green. and a.j. green flies down at the 44. all the attention to the left of
the defense and the throw was to the right, one-on-one with >> troy: i like that match-up two great football players in this league. but a.j. green gets the better he does a heck of a job with the release off the line of scrimmage, as you said, joe.
but all four guys to one side. isolate one-on-one, a.j. green, richard sherman. a.j. wins that one. by the way that 13 yarder to a.j. green, his first catch since midway through the second it comes here in overtime. second spot.
>> troy: you better have some respect when you're playing against richard sherman. i know i would. i've seen too many times him turn around a game when you start thinking that, you know, you could beat him. you better be precise with the
when you're throwing anywhere near him. >> joe: second and five. dalton throws, his receiver jones had him but missed him. >> troy: that ball looked like it just slipped out of his he has him and we haven't seen that from andy really all season
long. but a ball that's clearly got away from him. now third down. a.j. green in the slot now, >> joe: on third down dalton knocked down from behind. and it's fourth down in midfield here in overtime.
and a punt coming from if you're just joining us, cincinnati took the opening kickoff, went down and scored a a 10-7 seattle lead at the half. seattle took over, led by 17. but the bengals have scored 17 straight and did so in the end of regulation on a field goal,
31 yarder to tie it. each team has possession once in overtime, and now seattle for their second possession will start at the 20. seahawks started the season 0-2. they lost in st. louis, at green bay, they won at home against chicago, as they welcomed kam
chancellor back. they won on monday night at home against detroit. even though russell wilson was sacked six times. the play made by kam chancellor at the end of regulation knocking it out of the arm of calvin johnson to seal the win
and the missed call in the end zone on the batted ball and now seattle, if they don't win this game, they will take the long flight home thinking about a 17-point lead that was blown here on the road. but it looked for awhile like the defense was just taking
two yards over the left side. now some pictures to go with all those words. a fumble that was returned 23 yards by bobby wagner for a score. and then cincinnati took over. >> referee: roll block offense number 79.
>> joe: that was a big catch by tyler eifert. that eventually set up the 31 yarder to tie it. while we were showing highlights, gary gilliam was called for a roll block. a personal foul that moves the ball all the way back to the 10.
>> troy: too many penalties to have any type of consistency offensively for seattle. this has not done anything with the ball in this half. >> joe: here's jackson out of good pick and run for a guy coming off a high ankle sprain. seahawks shocked at how he's
responded. he suffered that on monday night that was good for twelve and a big, big twelve yards on first and 20. >> troy: at least they get this to a manageable second down and normal down in this type of situation.
the bengals they bring in a.j. hawk. with the empty backfield set, seattle in a passing formation. >> joe: pass is broken up over the middle and a good play by vincent rey trying to get it to luke willson, russell wilson. third and eight.
>> troy: this defense has been impressive the way they've been able to control the line of scrimmage on the last two possessions defensively. good coverage there. >> joe: third down it is. russell wilson is sacked! dunlap was there.
lamur was there. >> troy: russell wilson was working the front side. you see the coverage on jermaine that's where he was trying to go once he started to try to scramble out of the pocket it just collapsed on him. an outstanding job by the
>> joe: now ryan will punt with adam jones waiting for him. good punt. a little room in front of jones. adam jones. good return. out across the 40. the return to the 32-year-old last year all-pro corner.
after his 62 yard punt, a 19 yard return. cincinnati in a good spot as they start this drive. out at their own 43. this is how these two teams would want it. cincinnati's offense. seattle's defense.
next four wins. >> troy: we talked about it coming into the game. the number two offense against the number two defense and here it is once again. with seven minutes to play in this overtime period. i don't think the seattle
defense would want it any other way. >> joe: i bet dalton feels the same. here's eifert. what a game he's had! forward progress to the 45 of he threw cary williams away and picked up extra yards.
>> troy: not bad coverage there by cary williams. eifert he's able to run the plan, and another well-thrown ball by andy batten puts it write on him. a nice target for a quarterback running that flank route and he's got great possession.
he just put it right on him. >> joe: eifert with a big catch at the end of regulation has two touchdown catches today. handoff to bernard. giovani bernard inside the 35. >> troy: a stretch play to the left side here. you see the hole that's opened
up, the arm tackle there, geobernard, without him today, they would have no running game whatsoever. and a guy who excellent out on regardless, he's a much tougher runner than he gets credit for. >> joe: 72 yard day for bernard. they are now well within field
goal range. so far this season, four out of with a long of 35. he did hit a 31 yarder with time expiring at the end of regulation. his career long regular season, 55 yards. they're inside that.
bengals. time-out taken by the this has been some game. i bet it's been awhile. the last time that the seattle seahawks have let a 17-point second half lead slip away, last time was 2004, to be exact. in october. against the rams.
go to mike hill. >> mike: cincinnati trying to stay undefeated in overtime. falcons do it, they get it done in overtime. cousins is gone 59 yards for the game winning score. 25-19 falcons now 5-0. joe, troy, back to you.
>> joe: all right, mike. so another interception by cousins. he just can't get away from those. and this one to end the game in meanwhile, here we are, we are pointed towards either a breakaway touchdown or a nugent
trying to win it. and bernard. fighting his way down inside the you're looking at about a 43 yard field goal from this spot. which, by the way, would be his season long. >> troy: i would expect hue jackson the offensive
coordinator to come back and run it to gio bernard one more time i'd be really surprised if we see andy dalton do anything throwing the football. i know right now they're in the shotgun formation. maybe they will. i was a little surprised they
slowed down the pace. bernard again, here comes nugent. fourth down under 4 1/2 to go. mike nugent serenaded as he comes onto the field. not bad when you're a kicker and nu is part of your last name. >> troy: combine that with the
fact that you have struggled a little bit coming into this >> joe: the bengals go to 5-0. for the third time in franchise history. nugent can do it with his right leg. good snap, good hold. it is good!
and the bengals are 5-0! tip of the hat today to the special teams unit for the cincinnati bengals, under the direction of marvin lewis. >> troy: this is an outstanding win by the cincinnati team, joe, to be down the way they were and to come back.
andy dalton really showed himself here today. leading the team back against an outstanding defensive unit. sending it into overtime. what a great win for marvin lewis and the cincinnati
