STEELERS VS BENGALS UNREAL OVERTIME FINISH!

the

bengals

have time for maybe three passes if they are quick, this is the first and the six district goal takes its time, throws the ball, breaks free for a moment, it looked like they had it, mike thomas couldn't secure it, fits, patrick gets. Four seconds left and look at the end of this play. Fitzpatrick goes for the footballs from his hands initially, but Fitzpatrick shakes them to make sure they don't come back to him. Did you see at the end that Fitzpatrick looked at the referee? so you're going to tell me something here still upset about the previous decision and this could very well be the final play four seconds on the clock

steelers

two timeouts and a used timeout right there mike tomlin calls it all catch your collective breath joe burrow and the

bengals

still have a chance i want to see if they want to end up going in one of those three on one formations and who is at the back who is the one on one because if you run the three on one and try to get all that coverage to one side where they can't really turn and try to chase the ball on one side and here's three up and there's a man behind, I think the ball is Let's go to Jamara Chase Four seconds left, brother scores the touchdown Jumor Chase, they turned it into a one-on-one route against Akilo Witherspoon and the time between Chase and Burro we know since it continues here in Cincinnati.

The ball is clearly out of his hands on the break and Chase secures the catch on the touchdown now we have a different long snapper right diane yes biceps injury for clark harris so mitchell wilcox has come in to break it up with kevin huber holding right in the middle wilcox a backup tight end, this isn't the time you want your backup snapper to run out, but he can be a hero today. The Steelers have the only timeout left. All scoring plays are analyzed. The chase is confirmed with a touchdown to tie it and now we are just waiting for the extra point.

Can you freeze a support I miss? Give me a snapper. This could be a lot more than trying to freeze Evan Mcpherson, who I don't think is capable of being frozen. They may be trying to get into the head of long snapper Mitchell Wilcox right now. he is hidden there behind the capital 65. thank you so they're going to put two seconds on the plot that the operation affected when you lose a piece of it, the snapper holder, the kicker wilcox, a backup tight end is breaking it to huber mcpherson for the extra point to put a cincinnati in front trying to complete the round mcpherson is blocked what turn of events fits mega with patrick a slow snap and the whole operation took too long perfect description because that moment that ball is usually back there with the sending boom into the hands of the starter, you described it perfectly, it took more time in the air to get there allowing Mickey Fitzpatrick to take an extra step and he put a hand on it and hello extra football, absolutely wild game in the first week, take a deep breath everyone , 20 each, two seconds.

The remaining Minka adapts to Patrick, a tremendous player who just made the play of the day. Remember, he was called for that personal foul at the end of the drive, which gave Cincinnati extra yards and more attempts that turned into the touchdown. That's a bit of redemption for him to block. this, but I think you absolutely nailed it in the description, changes in the iron's slower setting operation, you go to any nfl practice starter, snapper, kicker, they're all together all the time, dog, this oshevsky it picks up and he'll do that during regulation

overtime

in Cincinnati and how we got here is hard to believe, the most basic play in the NFL is the extra point and due to a biceps injury, the long snapper's backup tight end has had to intervene and the timing was a little off. a little bit and that's all it takes because in that situation, how do you compensate?

It means you have to keep your blocks in a little bit of time, you have to do all these things, but the margin for error is very small because those guys are together all the time the punter who is the starter the long snapper and the kicker do everything together all the time when you introduce an external element that doesn't do it the same way that's usually the result and what a great effort on the part Mikka fitzpatrick's fourth quarter timing rules apply. Each team will have one possession unless the first team scores a touchdown or there is a defensive score.

Each team will have two timeouts and all reviews will be initiated by the Pittsburgh booth. You are still the visitor. call the toss that is still heads that is still tails still heads still tails what is your decision sir his name is tails tails is the call is tails you have one the toss that you would like to receive you want to kick that way you are Well, where are you, man , Fitchburg will receive on this end, good luck gentlemen, Cincinnati will begin. I want to welcome those of you who just watched the Ravens take down the New York Jets.

This has been crazy here in the season opener. Check it out with Evan Washburn guys new life for the Steelers but not Naji Harris, he's currently in the locker room. He came to the bench after the Steelers' previous possession ripped off his left shoe. He pointed to that left foot. Charles, you mentioned that he had to deal with a foot injury during training. camp and also if they play defense t.j watt also in the locker room left arm injury no official status for any of the guys okay evan mason cole although he has returned at center for pittsburgh and jalen warren in his first game of the nfl is now the featured running back of the Steelers, two tight end formation, friar movement and gentleness, they hand it to Warren trying to cut it to the outside and Pratt drops it, gain of two.

Well, Mike Tomlin said that Jalen Warden was never intimidated and was very competitive and productive, and that's why he made the team. This is a great spot for the undrafted rookie free agent out of Oklahoma State, but I think the ball will be in Trubisky's hands throwing it a lot more than him running, they said the coaching staff was waiting to see when he would flash during camp. training during the preseason and Warren never made a second down and eight for the Steelers Trubisky settles in and throws it to Fryer the movement breaks free to cross the 30 yard line tackled by Mike Hilton good for five yards, how about that team double out there, Hilton and Eli Apple in the scene before moving to accomplish what he did?

It was a great effort well covered. I thought he would fall on the spot since he managed to hold on and get a little more. let's see what luana romo, cincinnati defensive coordinator, pittsburgh throws here, let's see if he becomes exotic or if he just relies on that front to try to get trubisky to become stacking the line of scrimmage with third guys and three triviskys that fade into incomplete claypool, the intended goal. and it's fourth down for the Steelers, so the Bengals decided to stack the line of scrimmage and go man cover in the secondary and Trubisky trying to hit Claypool on a back shoulder throw.

Claypool tries his best to adjust, but Hilton pushes him hard enough to force the incompletion and picks up a punt is harvin kick it taylor waiting at his own 20. in the air for taylor to make a clean catch at the 20. he makes his way to the and It's sealed at the 25-yard line 48-yard punt Christian Koontz The center made the tackle The turnovers Can you overcome turnover after turnover after turnover We're about to find out that Cincinnati will have a chance to win it despite They gave the ball away all day long with four interceptions and a fumble, yes, but that all goes away now if you lead your team down the field, put up a ball and Epping McPherson kicks a field goal, yes, Charles, they still have than break it, yeah, that's a good point minus five on the turnover differential today and Cincinnati with a chance to win. here, first down from the 25th district, it's too far and too high for Thomas' flag to be thrown at the 37.

I have to grab it a little there, pass interference defense number 25, the ball will be placed in the spot of the foul, automatic first down, double move by Mike D Thomas and on the double move, Witherspoon grabbed it a little bit and deflected it. It turns out to be a 12-yard penalty because it is a spot foul. I've seen them do a little more than that, but I think the referee determined. prevented his progress on the next score wins, they put the ball on the 37. bro, again, mixon has nowhere to go, it's a loss of one, as High Smith and Okan Joby combine to take him down with Evan, guys, It's not good news, T.J Watt Peck's injury. he's out for the rest of this game again he went straight to the locker room he didn't even stop at the athletic training table straight to the locker room it's an injury to t.j Watt's peak and he's out and you saw him leaving the field. knew it right away, was telling him what it was right away as soon as he came off the field on second down and 11 here for cincinnati 7 37 on the clock pearl steps and shots proud catch drives toward midfield good enough for a first attempt covers 14 yards in the history of this Cincinnati Bengals team, there were a couple of Super Bowls they played against San Francisco and there was a Joe that met both times named Montana, they have their own version of Joe here trying to do it for them instead of against them. them first down for the bengals 383 total yards for cincinnati 179 for pittsburgh fake the run game pump fake throw hits his man the tight end listens to the physical play along the sideline at the 40 mile jack yard line there's another one first try good job keeping the flag in your pocket you also mentioned that the physical play on both sides just culminated the fans wanting a flag was not something to have there is Tyler Boyd coming out of the game a big goal for them as They're working on his left leg, so no. t higgins boyd now on the sidelines stanley morgan jr they are testing the depth at wide receiver that's him and that's trent taylor next to him jamar chase alone down here first down for cincinnati on the ground redirection nixon slides through acceleration by mixon and you may need a moment after the seven yard pickup seems fine, how about patience and understanding?

Well I'm covered here oh there's the view and now I go make the cut and move on with power if it's Patrick with a good entry otherwise that helps a lot now mixon doesn't move well as he heads to the line cincinnati side is replaced by perrine is a second and three bengals are on the move gimbarro a chance to inspect an empty set burrow pass incomplete timing route p ryan, the intended target, advances to attack devin bush jr, third attempt, les like the matchup, give devon bush junior credit for that, now you get caught normally, he's a linebacker, but when you're toward the sideline, you cover a one-on-one. route, you're no longer a linebacker, your corner and he did a good job taking it off right now, they're looking at a 51-yard field goal attempt and a little bit slower operation right at the field goal if Wilcox is breaking, which it means you have to keep your blocks a little longer third down and three burrow throws caught hayden hurst goes up for it and a kiss for the crowd how about burrow and what he does but listen understand his quarterbacks in trouble continues his route? in a stalemate on defense and falls with the toe tap with one foot down Tootsie's down and again hayden hurst was a first base pitcher in the pirates organization before returning to play college football, indeed pittsburgh again cincinnati has it at the Steelers 13-yard line running play mixing nothing no play it's an excellent catch by Hearst but how about the pocket movement and calmness of joe burra left side middle comes out to the right side and delivers a great pass downfield right now would be a 31-yard Field Goal Attempt on the Internet.

Watch how Zach Taylor plays this knowing he has a backup center. Does he do it? He still trusts Burrow despite the interceptions. Do you plan to kick this one and go home? Wilcox practicing along the sideline on second down and 10. For Cincinnati, he fakes with the low boot shot, the draw sample handles it, so the modest two-yard gain on the game clock is rolling to less than four minutes for wilcox to step in at center with clark harris injured, long crosses you often take for granted. They're so good at their job, they're usually so automatic, but when one is missing, that's where the questions arise: who can do it, who can handle it, and certainly in a game-winning situation, how does it all come together.

It's interesting. It is not like this? My college coach, John Majors, always had to spread the expression "it never catches up to you until it catches up to you." I remember being in college, but what is he talking about? Well,Guess what he's talking about, those situations that maybe you didn't plan for because they're sending McPherson five game-winning field goals when he was a rookie, the man was pure ice in his first year, it's ridiculous and remember he started in the first game, the first game of the season, where he kicked the winning field. goal against minnesota to make things work for the cincinnati team, but if they are the offensive front, they are telling themselves they have to block longer to help wilcox on the 29 yard snap attempt in

overtime

. wilcox snapper huber starter from 29 yards away oh he missed it so much once again the snap was loud and it all fell apart on a crazy day in cincinnati yeah that one wasn't even close the other one was just slow this look where Huber has to go to get it and while he's putting it down he can't even spin the laces so now you have a kicker kicking the laces which is what I haven't met a kicker yet who says yes give me the laces to kick it , they want their laces removed. them, he kicks the laces and hooks them to the left.

Mike Tomlin has been around a long time. I don't know if he's ever seen this. He's still 3.33 to get into this ball game deep in his own territory, they're not out of the woods, but the Steelers take over at the 20-yard line at Ot Trubisky scores one deep, oh, tremendous Deontay Johnson, but he was on the side line. I have to discuss it there and I think they are saying out of bounds there is a one hand catch first foot down second foot hit that hit the target I see anthony fleming who was on the spot waved it incomplete and they are going to stop playing here this will be under review so Sean Hockey will take a look Hey guys it's Sean you guys yeah we hear you you have to put the wrong mic in there's the second one I think. it's clear pittsburgh has a chance at this it looks to me like this is going to be overturned and become a legal catch by deontay johnson gene sterritor is watching along with us just take us through this gene what you see yeah i'm watching first to see if deontay johnson holds the ball firmly throughout the process that he does it and then, in my opinion, there is what we used to call a slice of green between that toe and the white out of bounds and to me I will see a slice of green among their guys and they would have it as an incomplete catch uh or sorry, a complete catch yeah, you know, some people would pull out a card and try to measure it, some people would know that that slice of green could just I mean, it would be what you need to hit your seven iron, that's all Cincinnati's move back on defense, so they accepted the inevitable, it's a clean catch and a ridiculous grab by deontay johnson, how about down the stretch we saw jamar chase one where he was? barely out of bounds in the rulebook and now Deontay Johnson comes up with one where it's barely in bounds and now they're just checking the clock, yeah those inches make all the difference right?

They're just checking the clock. watch to make sure everything is okay and Remember we don't have an operational issue with Pittsburgh's starting snapper and Boswellia catcher. They also got the money. A complete pass. The ball will be placed at the 45-yard line. It's first down. Reset the game clock to 328. So adding a second to the Steelers will have you at the 45. It comes down to a 25-yard reception. Chris Boswell 17 of 21 in his career from 50+ yards if he has to make a long-range attempt. Boswell's run is 59 yards. the victory jalen warren is in place of the injured naji harris man of movement oshewski tricked claypool looking for the angle that one has claypool takes him to the bench what a great lead blocked by jalen warren the rookie from oklahoma state number 30. on the field Look to Warren at the end of this play.

Look at him right in front and he holds the block on him and keeps it on Jermaine Pratt to allow Claypool to get to the sideline with more yards, so the line of scrimmage is now the 43rd right now. look at a 61 yard attempt get another five you're in good shape with boswell trubisky hits while throwing incomplete in the deonte box johnson von bell with a slap today's nfl update jp boomer texans blew a 17 point lead boom hey guys like you there in Cincinnati, in Houston, Rodrigo Blankenship misses a 42-yard field goal to win, they're still tied 20-20, 52-7 left to start that game.

Back to Iron and Charles in Cincinnati is it in the water indianapolis an opening day just not a good game 3 18 to play in ot trubisky swing out caught by claypool made a spin while crossing the 40 yard line by mike hilton the former steeler is good for six yards what a good read from trubisky too, it was supposed to be one of those shovel passes again, they took the shovel off him, he kept good poise and had a get out and worked it out, so now they're looking at a try 55 yards while boswell is getting ready. for a potential game winner his long run outside is 56. this is from the gun trubisky on third and four leaves him out, catches johnson and couldn't get to the scoreboard sam hubbard there on defense and a timeout call from cincinnati fourth down boswell marching through his pre-kick routine, eight game-winning field goals, boswell in his eighth year in the nfl, christian koontz is the third-year center, the punter, harvin will hold it, pittsburgh looks for the 55 yard w attempt, the jungler is trying to deflect boswell. his play from 55 yards boswell is not good what is happening here he hit it against the post this is a thud that was heard all the way in pittsburgh it is not a sound that they are going to want to recreate in pittsburgh for next week now the defense has to come out again donkey there are just over two minutes left to try to give his team another chance and charles watches where cincinnati takes control at its own 45 yard line after the miss, but this is what you have to think about with your operations in the last two field goals put pressure on the offense more burrows out of trouble and turns it into a win boro slide picks up nine yards looked dead to righties the unexpected of the first week in the nfl happens every year you still forget about it because you go through a whole season and then the new season comes, the anticipation builds, that's right and then you remember, oh yeah, wild things happen in the season opener in the second and a district will do it itself the line of the 45 yard a new series of attempts for cincinnati the clock is rolling one minute 48 on the left tyler boyd is back in the game for cincinnati remember we saw him get injured before he is back out there number 83 in black but Steeler injured and is from marvin lial the rookie from texas a pass rusher drafted in the third round brings good power someone mike tomlin believes will have an impact here timeout pittsburgh by rule with 1 45 on the clock check with evan well guys it's been a tough situation for mitchell wilcox He came in as a long snapper here, had some work for a while during the start of this possession, but now he's moved away from Kevin Huber and Evan Mcpherson and that could speak to the mentality here with his drive. for the bengals it's a touchdown or nothing i wouldn't be surprised evan if zach taylor is thinking that and the field goal is much more of a last resort rather than playing for the first down the donkey sets and the Hearst's under throws slip away for extra yards hit by Edmonds.

My goodness, the effort these guys are putting in here on one of these hot, humid days that Evan Washburn described. I think that's Cameron Hayward now for Pittsburgh. Well, this has been a marathon. 138 left in Ot Hayward. It needs a moment. The medical staff is there. and hayward is going to try to stand up here now he's heading to the bench the steelers have lost t.j watt today they lost najee harris malik reed will step in once again for pittsburgh making his steeler debut the former bronco and if you're the defense of pittsburgh I have to think along the same lines that you and Evan just discussed the idea that Cincinnati is potentially looking for a touchdown and not trusting the second-and-four kicking unit, Millet's expected target pressure and it's third down, I have the feeling that Pittsburgh feels the same.

With the pressure they're trying to put on and they can create some kind of takeaway and give themselves one last chance to win this game, they're not going to sit down and talk to Terrell Austin, their defensive coordinator, right now. Last week he said that one thing you should know about us is that in Pittsburgh we are always going to play aggressively, it's no different now here in overtime, third down and four 134 to play, ot tied at 20. Rush comes, Pearl loses the ball, it's a free Bengal scoop. He got up with Perrine Perrine still going and crashed inside the 40.

If County had him down, Millet got there, but Perrine figured out not only to get it back, but potentially put them in field goal range because now you're back with Wilcox. hoping to be able to make a cross, but the pyron play could become the play of the weekend, being able to pick it up and, you know, get back to where they still have a field goal, but look where it is. Does the ball move back to midfield? If they call it capture, this changes everything. The ball came free from Burrow, but they mark it at 50.

If they're doing that, Kevin Huber becomes the guy, not Evan Mcpherson, Jean Steritor, what is he? The discussion right now among the officials what they are doing now is we have a fumble in two minutes only the fumble can be recovered in advance if the fumble is recovered behind the fumble spot you will go back to the spot where it was made the recovery. place in this case he did and that's where Cincinnati will hold the ball, so to your point in this case right now, reset so that Joe Burrow was the one who lost the ball, so he had to be the one to get it back, not him. did that's where p ryan picked up the right football gene right yeah he well p ryan can recover he just can't advance so joe burrow would be the only player capable of advancing that and because the fumble went backwards you will go to the recovery spot instead of if joe barrow had fumbled forward then they would have gone back to the fumble spot in this case whatever hurts the offense or the team that fumbled the most. ball, that's where they're going to go and that's why they put the ball on the 50-yard line, thank you very much, the gene changed, everything, right?

We think Evan McPherson might have a chance. Instead, it seems like they have to pump the ball. Kevin Huber. Neither team has any timeouts left. I'm not sure why they are giving. Pittsburgh had more time, they should have brought it down to a last second and the ball rolls into the end zone. You know, at this point, if you're from Cincinnati, the goal is just not to lose the game, so what looked like a Cincinnati win didn't happen. It doesn't happen that a missed extra point, a missed field goal for the bengals and then a missed pittsburgh field goal that hits the post has somehow put us 56 seconds away from going to overtime in a tied game. the steelers have him at the 20-yard line and Mitch Trubisky in the two-minute drill for a chance to be a hero in Pittsburgh on opening day.

Can they make a big play on the field with one of these big receivers? Close that if possible. 56 seconds on the clock. 56 seconds left. We are not. using that clock the clocks on these ends are valid 56 seconds let's play ball so there was a problem with the clock on a side scoreboard and Sean Hockley asked for it to be shut down. Good job by Sean Huckley taking control and a very good explanation for the players on the field to understand where to look the remaining time the steelers can still win this game with a field goal 56 seconds left trubisky passing shot incomplete trey flores had a chance at an interception nfl update today back to new york on jb and boomer an impressive score leads by kc, yes, and charles, they go to the 11th, 75 yards on their initial drive, nine yard touchdown pass from mahomes to travis kelsey, chiefs take a seven nothing lead for you in cincinnati, yes that game could end before this one, 51 seconds left. on trubisky's throws, the catch was made just around the first down line before johnson they are going to call him jess short third and a little less than a yard 35 seconds left a cincinnati jump trubisky intensifying the free play opportunity trubisky stops and throws against the grain goddess inside the territory of cincinnati in the 45th. remember what pittsburgh did with mitch trubisky, it disrupted the athletics and the movement 94. these penalties decrease the results of the play on the first attempt and the clock will start in the middle and that move saved that play for Pittsburgh made it something bigger and gives them hope that they can get into field goal range.

There's No. 94 Hubbard jumping around and how about Pittsburgh take that like Cincinnati did earlier in thegame and turn that mistake into a big play for them right now? it would be a 63 yard attempt 25 seconds left trubisky fast hitter fell deontay johnson well defended by woozi also he just pushed that one and since the ball was not right in the receiver lucía was able to hit it knock it down second down for the Steelers Boswell was inches away from

finish

ing this one when he hit the left post 21 seconds on the clock trubisky about the movement of the middle fryer the clock moves 14 seconds left they are going to time it with eight so this used to be a big curve time ben roethlisberger how many times do we see him lead the pittsburgh steelers in tough situations, take them down the field, either scoring a touchdown or putting your team in field goal range? mitch trubisky is starting a new chapter of his career and this is a new era for pittsburgh and the way ben roethlisberger came out, i think there were eight times he did it last year where he led them down and brought them back in the second half to win, so he knew how to do it with that veteran expert and skill mitch trubisky opening day this could be the moment for him eight seconds left we still have to be careful here with that clock trubisky throws it incomplete they can kick it here no I think you have a chance at another play five seconds left and here's Chris Boswell, he's got another chance, this will be a 53 yard attempt and this is really the decider, we don't play after this Boswell trying to do it, quick kick out of the way, boswell, that's a winner, unforgettable season opener. and the steelers beat the bengales in overtime 23-20 in the final
