Second down T finds a Target across the first down line the away team will call their first timeout here that brings up third down [Music] go that brings up fourth down a conservative run call on Third and long you don't want to unnecessarily take any risks there to end up in a situation that's difficult to recover from number 17 takes the kick if the offense can get another score on this drive here it will really put the pressure on number two dropping back Hudson makes the completion good enough for a first down you know Dave you can only go from first down to first down so many times before it turns into to points on the board throws a pass number eight grabs the ball out of the air quick first downs like that keep the defense guessing he steps back to pass and they can't connect incomplete go he throws one number one makes the catch that'll bring up a fresh set of downs drops back he makes the The Tackle is made as a quarterback it's important to scan the field with your eyes to look off the Defenders that's something he needs to work on a bit the home team has a chance to pick up some free points here after that turnover there looks to be an injury down on the field that'll be enough for the first down you know Dave you can only go from first down to first down so many times before it turns into points on the board throws he's tackled up at the 38 the home team William use one of their timeouts here that will move the chains you know Dave you can only go from first down to first down so many times before it turns into points on the board he drops back to pass number three makes the catch the home team will use their third and final timeout here that'll give them a fresh seven Downs this is not the type of offense you want to hand momentum like this to they have some real threats on the field throws it to the middle of the end zone and they can't connect incomplete the home team game with a single back in the back field go number two dropping back it's coming in the end zone touchdown not to be biased but that's all on the QB he read the defense perfect selected the Target and relas exactly when he needed to it's good the home team out to kick [Applause] off number 41 Rockets this one deep Hudson catches the kickoff and he's brought down after a return of 17 the away team starts the drive from the 18 yd line penalty marker on the play and he's stopped by Washington let's see how the penalty affects things the away team will turn down the penalty that'll give them a fresh seven Downs huge play here Dave nearly broke It Wide Open they've got the makings of a fantastic drive here he's brought down by Washington the away team calls their second timeout that'll give them a fresh set of downs he drops back he flings a pass near the middle of the field the second quarter comes to a close all tied up at 17 17 number 80 boots this one into the end zone harrry takes the kick makes the return up to the 13 yd line let's check in with our sideline correspondent Emma Adams Emma what do you have for us Dave Mike I had a chance to discuss the first half with the coach for the home team he attributed his team's poor play and turnovers partially to luck but he said there's no room for excuses this is a game played by professional and if things like that are going going to be blamed then they may not be professionals for very long back to you Emma thank you it h back to pass complete to number 86 just a single back in the back field for the offense [Music] second down the home team with two backs in the back field hands it to number [Applause] 24 that'll give them a fresh set of downs you see those big lineman starting to put hands on the hips getting a bit tired of staying on the field he hands it to number 33 that brings up second down go he hands it to the runner that gets us to third down the home team comes out with two tight ends grab down in the air that will move the chains not elusive enough to make that into a big play but still keeps that defense on the field he takes the ball and he's tackled up near the line by number four that will bring up second down hike a penalty marker on the play tackle made up at the 29 yd line let's see how the penalty affects things the home team is going to go with the results of the play instead of the penalty that's a well-run route and a Precision pass for the first down [Music] sets his feet and throws the runner steps out of bounds that'll bring up a fresh set of downs this is not the type of offense you want to hand momentum like this to they have some real threats on the field tackled quickly by number 14 that will bring up second down number two handing it up that will bring up third down the home team comes out in a two receiver set hike tosses the ball it's caught for the SC great job by the receiver find the gap between defend for the touchdown grab go the kicker kicks it up it's good the home team will pull ahead with the score 24 17 we may be seeing a big momentum shift here Dave taking the lead like that does a lot for a team's [Applause] confidence Hudson takes the kickoff tackled after a return now 17 let's see what the offense can do with this drive I'm sure they'd love to go down and put an end to this lead they're facing go the QB makes the [Applause] [Music] toss after a run like that it's so tempting to just keep feeding him the ball until the defense finds a way to stop it he drops back sends a pass way down the middle of the field and he's tackled first down a good first down for the defense is an incomplete pass or a short run not another first down I guess they didn't get the memo a flag on the play Let's see what the call on the field is the away team will accept the penalty if the coach hasn't created a culture where penalties are not acceptable then players won't take that extra effort to avoid making that he tosses one stop by Coleman he sheds up he crosses the goal line touchdown number 21 showed great vision on that run hitting the Gap at the right time to shoot into the end zone p 80 kicks it up it's good number 80 kicks this one away Hara takes the kick and he's brought down after a return of 18 playaction pass second down second down and long QB back to pass throws the ball short over the middle third down as a coach you always want a quarterback to be able to zip it into Tight Windows like that to put pressure on the defense and he can't reel it in out comes the punt team go he punts it away fielded at the 32 yd line number two with the top that brings up second down he drops back he's hit hard and he'll be set down at the 28 yd line that gets us to third down go he steps back to pass number one catches it that's a well executed pass for the first down and he's on second down pitches the ball out to the runner third down that'll wrap things up for the third quarter an even matchup so far 24 24 go he takes the ball that'll bring up fourth down that's the right call in that situation the defense is stacked against the pass and is hoping the offense want to take a deep shot to try and pick up the first down and he's good from 56 yds out the away team pulls ahead 27 24 taking the lead like that allows you to run your own game plan and forces your opponent into making adjustments harrry catches the kickoff makes the return up to the 14 this is a pressure drive for the offense they've got a chance to pull back into the driver's seat with a score on this possession number two dropping back number three grabs the ball out of the air that will bring up first down lining up with a single back he makes the handb [Applause] off second down second and short tonight number 24 takes the carrry good enough for a first down being able to move the ball in the running game especially especially when you can pick up a first down gives you so many options and terms on play calling number 33 takes the carry second down a penalty flag on the field the defense will accept the penalty the quarter back was trying to get the defense to jump and ended up making one of his own players move early the QB drops back sets his feet and throws and he's taken down by Miller that'll be enough for the first down hike Z he makes the pitch he and he passes the goal line for a touchdown that's a great example of a player just stepping up and making a play to get a touchdown the kick is made it's good the home team moves into the driver's seat 31 27 a big score there for the offense they push out front but there's still plenty of game [Applause] left this is a good position for offense to be in it's a one- score game and they've got a good opportunity to go down the field and get some points the QB hands it off stopped before he could break loose by number 11 second down the flag on the play number two gives it away let's see how the penalty affects things the away team takes the penalty great Defenders have a six sense for knowing when the ball is going to be snapped that's not what we saw there Pitman takes the ball event ually dragged down up near the 47 he steps back to pass throws pulled in by number three that will move the chains a good first down for the defense is an incomplete pass or a short run not another first down I guess they didn't get the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Mo the ball falls to the ground incomplete six play of the drive number two handing it off that brings up third down he steps back to pass that will move the chains that's a well executed pass for the first down quarterback to pass he sends one and it's intercepted by number 23 defensive backs do a lot of their Anticipation by reading the quarterback's eyes we see a lot of interceptions when QBs get locked in on for a single receiver from the snap points off of turnovers is an important statistic in football if the defense can prevent them from executing here all of the momentum built up from that turnover will be lost he makes the handoff that gets us to Second down that will move the chains after a run like that it's so tempting to just keep feeding him the ball until the defense finds a way to stop it he tosses one the ball falls to the ground incomplete T he launches one to the middle of the field the receiver can't bring it in third down go number two handing it [Music] off and that's enough for a first down not a run that's going to make his highlight real but he keeps adding to his yardage today with that first down number two gives it away that gets us to Second down second down and long quarterback back to pass makes the throw incomplete the away team comes out with five DBS drops back into the pocket hurls a pass deep off to the right side the pass falls harmlessly to the ground even though that pass was incomplete those are the types of throws that stretch a defense the D was up to the challenge that time the bouns away if the offense can drive down the field and get some points here I'd expect to see a big momentum shift in the game to pass he is set for the backfield by number one that brings up second down number 80 kicks this one away Hara takes the kick and he's brought down after a return of 14 if the offense can get another score in this drive here it will really put the pressure on tonight the QB handing it off the away team uses their first timeout that brings up second down he hands it to the runner eventually dragged down up near the 49 that'll bring up a fresh set of downs it's runs like that Dave that helps set the tone for this game nothing fancy just our guys beat your [Music] guys Hees a pass out to the left side of the field incomplete p number two looking to pass throws it incomplete p a five defensive back package for the away team steps into the pocket the next with number eight he's brought down by Miller the away team calls their second time that'll be enough for the first down go number two makes the hand the away team will use their third and final timeout here second down he hands it off that gets us to third down he flings a pass to the middle of the field fourth down go number 41 kicks it up and it's good the home team widens their lead 36 27 the away team needs to respond to that score quickly to get the momentum going on their side Hudson takes the kick makes the return up to the 19 yd line so much of football is mental the offense needs to get a score in this drive to build some confidence want new sh coming back in this game and it's off number two from the gun go he drops back he sets up and throws down the middle of the field he's brought down that'll be enough for the first now that brings an end to the game and time for us to take a look at the Mike steel stun of the game Mike who are you thinking had the most impact today this is a no-brainer for me I'm going with number two for the home team what an impact he had today
