Jim they have 159 yards rushing in the game. Toussaint. And theyre playing with their fourth and fifth running backs, if you will, of the year. Toussaint has spent most of the season on the practice squad. Had gotten into a couple of games at the end of last year with the ravens. Originally signed by baltimore, undrafted out of michigan. Four games in all for the ravens last year. Even played if the playoffs, got a couple of touches in that great divisional game that went back and forth with the patriots last year. Phil i know one thing, the steelers during the preen, they made it preseason, they made it their job to make sure they got landry jones ready. They did pick up michael vick. It didnt go well. Jim in trouble, no chance. The bengals double up and get him. Dunlap and sims. He is inactive tonight. Phil boy, Carlos Dunlap was on the outside to the right. His spin move just forced his way in between the linemen. Jim it was really sims. Phil it helped simms. He gets there first but he was making jones move. Jim sims with a batted ball on this series and now a sack. Third and 17 as bryant will the bengals have that one completely covered up. And burfict over there near the steelers sideline. Phil well, what do you want to jim you dont want to see this game get completely crazy. Its pretty close. Anytime hes hovering by the steelers sideline, that cant lead to good things, for anybody. Berry. Boy, that was close. 45yard boot. air horn, trap door opening rootmetrics, in the nations largest independent study, tested wireless performance across the country.

At t got text. Stuck on an average network . Jim the nfl on cbs is sponsored by jim jim nantz, phil simms, tracy wolfson, mike carey. In whats been one of the most physical games youll ever see. Phil it was a great physical contest for a lot of the game. It was fun to watch, the speed and the defenses, they were ferocious. And then, of course, got a lot jim mccarron to him. Hes got room. Hes got 10 and the first down. I want to go one time more back to the roethlisberger play where he was sacked by burfict and just ask you was this, in your mind, a legal tackle. Phil talked about the rule. Lets bring in mike carey. Mike yes, this is definitely a legal tackle. Its rough but he didnt lift him up and stuff him. As a matter of fact, ben was a runner at that point, remember. He was scrambling. Phil the rule was instituted in 1995. Jim first and 10 for mccarron. Dumps it off underneath and hill races out for another 13. Bernard is not coming back weve been told. Hes out for the game. So is dre kirkpatrick, their cornerback whos been in and out with injuries and was the one beaten on the touchdown play to hill is a little gimpy after that. More than a little. Phil we saw how the defense dropped back. Great job by mccarron, drop it short. Jim rex burkhead now is the running back. And burkhead getting a chance to handle it and hes got four. On super bowl sunday, pepsi presents the biggest concert of the year, the pepsi super bowl 50 halftime show and for the first time ever, pepsi is giving fans exclusive behind the scenes access as the show comes together. Pepsi. Com for more details. Second and 6. Mccarron. Hes close to the first down. Phil good job by a. J. Mccarron. Hes moved around tonight when he needs to to make a play when he cant find anybody open and this is not something the steelers say oh, we dont care, hes not going to run. They were leery of playing coverage and him running out of the pocket and making plays like that. Hes shown, especially last week, to be more spontaneous, getting used to the action on the field and getting all those practice reps each week. Jim you saw hill coming back into the game. Mccarrons throw should have been caught. Off the hands of eifert then nearly intercepted by Mike Mitchell. Phil finally the i shouldnt say finally but this is what theyre vote noted for, these type of throws down the field. Hes going to go across. Fights through the zone. The throw was absolutely good enough to catch. Was it perfect . No. But eifert is going to make that 98 of the time. Jim eifert had three catches in the first quarter. Hes hat had one since. You saw burkhead split out to the right side. A. J. Green is not in the game. Sanu is. Second and 10. Hes going to take off again and slide for one. Phil rex burkhead was in the playoff game for the bengals last year, right . Remember, he was a part of their passing game. Jim like their top wideout in the game. A. J. Green is back on this play. Phil but the steelers are really dropping deep in coverage. Mike mitchell, the last play, was 30 yards deep in the middle of the field. Look at him right now, how far why is he getting all the way back there . Because he wants to see whats going on and make sure a. J. Green or one of those receivers, they get open deep, he can chase them down the sidelines. Jim timeout, cincinnati. Its first. Wild card weekend continues tomorrow on nbc and fox. Nbc up first with seattle and minnesota. In chilis weather. Green bay and the redskins on fox. The two coaches tomorrow hosting are both former assistants to marvin lewis. Talking about jay gruden and mike zimmer. Third and 9 coming up. I know all these a. J. s can get a little excusing confusing at time. Its Raymond Anthony mccarron jr. And Adrian Jeremiah green. You can go by that. Theyre blitzing. Gets the pass away. Diving catch by eifert could have caught the one earlier just a couple of plays ago. This time makes an 18yard diving reception. Phil there he goes. Heres the blitz inside. They love it. Two blitzers crossing, one coming up the middle. Almost looks like the same play that roethlisberger made Antonio Brown against the blitz. Jim sideline and a catch. By green. Brought down by gay right away. Gain of nine. Phil were seeing the a. J. Mccarron they kind of saw in that denver game, that had some that time dropped, made his decision. On his last step, hit the ground. He threw it on time outside to the soft coverage to green. Jim seven minutes remaining. They go to the ground and fighting for the first is hill. And the pile moved enough for him to get it, i believe. It is a first down. Phil finally, jim, you heard me say it. Those seams going up the field inside. Weve seen a couple of them. Eifert missed one then he caught a big one. Thats one of the big weaknesses or the biggest weakness of the steelers pass defense. Jim remember, cincinnati has two first downs in the first half . Now with 15 in this half. Again to hill. Backs in for a couple more. Moats met him there after two. That twopoint attempt by pittsburgh. Of course, had the steelers made it, the bengals would not have been kicking the extra point when they had a touchdown at the start of this quarter. Favre a lot of things had happened since then. If theyd made it maybe the bengals would have gone for two, it would be 166. Didnt second guess them when they did it. Understood why mike tomlin was trying it, to get to 17, to make it three scores. The most important thing right now, third down. 157. Know that youre definitely in field goal range. Be careful with the football. Jim andy dalton looking on. 5 5 to go. Mccarron, gives it up to burkhead. Harrison is there and harrison takes him out of bounds short of the first and now its going to be fourth and 3. They immediately bring out nugent. Phil 5 44 to go, get it to two, within one score. No decision by marvin lewis, kick the field goal. The steelers defense ready. A little switch by the receivers. They pass it off. There was nowhere to for mccarron to go with the football. Jim going to be a 35yard attempt for nugent. The most tenured bengal in his 11th year. Well call it 36 now. Heres the kick and it is good. 10 points in the quarter by the bengals. We were below the 88th southern parallel. We had traveled for over 850 miles. My men driven nearly mad from starvation and frostbite. Today we make history. Bienvenidos welcome to the south pole if youre dora the explorer, you explore. Its what you do. What took you so long . If you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Jim lets look at next gen stats presented by tostitos. Phil we get a blitz by the bengals defense. Antonio brown cuts across the field. How many yards does he cover . We know the speed, the quickness. Its there. 80 yards. Big play of the game. Jim and wait till you see this development. Look whos back ready to go. Ben roethlisberger. Tracy, you were backstage to see what happened. What can you tell us . Tracy thats right, jim. We saw him go directly into the extra room. He spent about 10 minutes inside there and then he was carted out without his pads. No sling on whatsoever. Into the locker room. They made arrangements to get his pads and everything back on. I was told hes coming back out and going to try to get back out there. Jim wow, not surprising, is it . Phil what did i say a couple of its part of being the steelers quarterback. Jim hes not coming out. He had the helmet on but landry is coming out. Phil there you go. Not good enough to come back into this game. Jim maybe what it says is there is no backup to jones so if you had to at least have somebody come out and hand it off. Phil good point. You see him moving his arm around showing everybody. Jim but jones is the quarterback with 5 12 to go. Jones throw is caught by brown for a pickup of six. Hes overton sideline. Hes not even warming up, any throws or anything like that. Phil but the way he put that helmet on and the way he was around him, i thought he was coming back into the game. Mike tomlin im sure asked him how do you feel in case we need you . Jim yeah, how do you feel . What can you give us . Second down and 4. Todman dives just to get back to the line of scrimmage. Dunlap had a read on that play. In the rain again and the rain again intensifies with four minutes approaching. The jungle has turned into a rain forest. Favre yeah, it sure has. The crowd noise, usually the steelers would throw screens. They have lots of different types of plays they can run in these situations but so far tonight, the bengals defense has jim heres a third and 4 play. Jones. Down the field and incomplete. And no flag. Leon hall on the coverage of Antonio Brown. Phil leon hall, got a little nicked up last week. But in good position. If the throw is inside, Shawn Williams is going to be there to knock it down so landry jones threw it the only place he could, outside. Jim adam jones is back to return. Had his only second fair catch of the season earlier in this game. A dangerous threat. Going to have a chance to handle it here. Spins around and goes. Adam jones to the 45 of pittsburgh. Phil first person this week in the special teams meetings when they walked in the room, adam waiting because he knew he was going to be a runner. Jim 24yard return and cincinnati, down five, has the ball in pittsburgh territory, 3 28 to play. Exe staining carpet.

Jim the nfl on cbs, sponsored by national car rental. Go national, go like a pro. And by subway, founded on fresh. Phil well, this steelers defense back on the field again. Why am i bringing it up . Because conditioning, being tired has got to be part of this jim meantime, cincinnati, over 9,100 days since its last playoff win 25 years ago this week. In january of 1991. Seven attempts since. Phil he changed the play. The defense changed its play also. Jim and mccarron, little jump pass. And the shoe string camp by hill for three. Is mccarron looking a little more confident to you at the moment . Phil absolutely. Hes had a few good drives. Tevin last drive, had good rhythm. Its taken a while. But hes hung in there. 2035 for the game tonight. Jim second and 7. Steeler blitz. Quick pass. Catch by marvin jones. For six yards. Phil well, James Harrison had a terrific pass rush the play before and this time what is he doing . Trying to get outside. Almost gets from to be the underneath dernled under jones but mccarron threw it on rhythm. Puts his offense in a good third down situation and yes, territory. Jim third and 1. A long yard to go. Phil i knew you were going to ask me that question so thats why i answered. Jim no, i didnt think that one was a question at all. Mccarron in trouble. Shazier had the heat on him. Phil you have to always look to the back side. It was a corner blitz that time. Here comes James Harrison. Here comes william game. Jim it was really shazier that throw it out of bounds. Fourth and theyre calling it officially 1. It looks like 2. Phil you know the play youre going to run. Dont use the timeout so in case you dont get it youre able to stop the clock and get the football back with time. Jim another blitz. William gay blitzing, leaving open jones. Hammered down after the first down by moats. Phil throws it to the right. Here comes the blitz. Jim it was william gay on the blitz. Phil yeah, it was jones coming all the way across. But what did they do . They played zone behind the blitz, trying to get the best of both worlds. Jim now on first down, mccarron. Scrambles out of what could have and that will bring us to the twominute warning. Coming down to the wire. Unbelievable night here. Youre watching the nfl on cbs.

As it turned out, fred was right. Sandwiches made with freshly baked bread, fresh veggies and delicious meats would stand the test of time. We were fresh before it was fresh to be fresh.

If cincinnati pulls this off, the bengals go to new england, sending kansas city to denver. A pittsburgh win puts kansas city at Gillette Stadium and sends the steelers to the mile high city. Second and 7 coming out of the twominute warning now. The bengals with two timeouts. Having entered this quarter down 150. Throw in the direction of mohamed sanu. After the game, the the subway postgame show. James brown and all the crew standing by for the highlights and their analysis of this game. Phil well, if youre the steelers, especially on the defensive side, there are two ways to play it. Go after the quarterback. Theyve been blitzing every play until that last play. They sat back. So hue jackson, can you call the right play and get the defense you expect to give a. J. Mccarron a chance to win this game . Jim a third and 7 and mccarron goes down the field and its caught and a tampa phil we saw it early in the game and this pass was knocked down but a. J. Green goes inside finding him on the back side. Jim just as he had done in both meetings in the regular season, green is in the end zone tonight against the steelers. Phil good job and also what happened that time, did you see a. J. Mccarron was looking to the right and it wasnt there, then he comes back. Now they have to get the jim go for two. Phil go for two. Jim go for two here. Try to up the margin to three with 1 30 to play. Four players shift in the formation. Little toss over to hill. The steelers are all over it and deny them. Phil that was dangerous. Could have been a lateral, which it was and that could have been returned for a twopoint conversion. Jim can you imagine that . Could have flipped that script. But lets go back and look at what a. J. Mccarron did to maybe win this game. A. J. Green is going to go down, they break back out. Watch the quarterback as hes looking to the right. Looks right, makes a little pump fake and then comes to the back side and that delay, that kept the safety from getting over there and making this play because hes reading the quarterback. Jim by the way, this is greens firstever playoff touchdown. Theres Mike Mitchell coming in. Mitchell raised just across the river here and he had talked with us last night about his respect for a. J. Green. Hes frustrated us, he told us. Hes more combative now. Hes a heck of a player and hes recently gotten a lot of big chunk plays against us and they just got one there to take the lead. Phil he says i always out of the corner of my eye am going to he can. That was a play that the quarterback, with his lookoff made him look inside and he lost sight of a. J. Green. That looked like it was almost preplanned. I watched the little pump fake by mccarron on that replay so that was well thought out. They called the right play. Hue jackson called the right play and had the perfect defense to get that touchdown. Jim short kick. Return opportunity for wheaton. But the bengals have it covered up. Including smith. And weve got another pushing and shoving match going on near the 35yard line. Phil guess whos in it . Burfict once again was involved. Oh, gosh. Burfict just was coming in trying to Police Things that time. Jim steelers have all their timeouts. Trying to drive to get an attempt at a winning field goal. Jones, middle of the field and that is intercepted and its burfict who comes away with it with the football. He better be down because hes running the wrong way. What is going on here . Five bengals ran right up the including burfict with the football. The question is was he down . I believe he was. Phil watch what he does. 55, what a job. Contact. Hes down. Contact takes him to the ground. There it is on the ground also. Jim yeah, no question. Phil but he fooled the quarterback. Jim i thought for a moment there, are we going to have a jim marshall moment here . Dialing back a memory from years and years ago. The old viking. Running the wrong way. Phil vontaze burfict. He did it all tonight. Caused a lot of trouble, be thank you sack of roethlisberger, the tackles. Watch him as he read the quarterback. He was going outside. Stopped it and broke back inside
