You go after them here. Al lutz to kick. That is joe webb back, and Fozzy Whittaker back there as well. From the goal line. Webb. He slips. Taken down at the 15 yard line. Cris big hit by shiloh keo. That is back on the 15 yard li, field position, and you know, going back to beginning of the game, and carolina had a couple of nice plays right off of the bat with some motion and going wide, and all of the different things, but some of those plays are really tough to run though when you are getting the feeling that you will be seeing at lot of pressure off of the edge. And the only reason that the saints dont bring that pressure is because they are hurting a little bit at the cornerback al panthers have had three straight three and outs. He throws, and that is errant. And a flag comes in though, and stupar is tangled up with jonathan stewart. Carl johnson comes in to make referee no faoul on the pla. Al and so he was the head of officiating a few years ago and now he is the head linesman, and the flag is waived off. Cris it is a great job here by Nathan Stupar and you cannot have pass interference behind the line of scrimmage and that to understand that. Al rivera are is pleading his case to no avail. Second down and ten now. And it is nervous time in this ball park. Newton is going to go nowhere. Now you have third down. The saints are going to take a timeout. So they are now down to one plus the 2 00 warning, and then of course, in drew brees world th might as well be a month on the calendar. All right. A little bit of the pulse here. Newton and taking a look at the numbers. Not very good. Brees meanwhile, 32 of 41 and 242 and less than what he normally averages, but still, he has had it when he needs it, and 17 unanswered. There is the most depressing sight of the night for the Carolina Panthers of kuechly back in the locker room. Man, you just have to take your shot here right now. I mean, i know that there are some things working gaiagainst , but you cannot turn around and kick the ball back to drew brees at this point. And he is not thinking field goal at this one, but he is thinking, lets go get a touchdown and get out of here with the win. A big time play here sh, and th have ted ginn and Kelvin Benjamin, and Devin Funchess is down to cam newtons left. Al they had the linebackers backed off and newton in traffic and that is caught by kelvin ben ja min. That is a big time catch. Boy, did they need that. J cris not much of a route, pressure there is very interesting one. You could have almost told what was going to happen there. And Kelvin Benjamin is a bigger than life wide receiver. They play above the rim in these key situations. If you are sitting back in the zone, he does not care about getting hit. You throw it up high, and he will outrebound everybody. That is a core element of this offense. Gutsy catch to go up to hang on to that one. But, no pressure and gave it a chance. Al that is a gigantic first down. New orleans now takes the last timeout. So the only time that the clock will stop now is at the 2 00 warning. After most likely this play. Cris here comes the pressure again. Al stewart is the running back. They want to get the clock down the 2 00, and they will on the twoyard gain to the 35. So it is go ing to be second don side of the 2 00 warning. Can brees get the ball back . Cris what a big time throw and catch that was when they needed it most. Al we have come down to the 2 00 warning in a tight one in charlotte. Carolina over new orleans, 2320 on this thursday night. Wait hurry up come on . Crazy its a Virtual Reality world. Can i see . Oh yai yai yai yai yai yai. . Will we be able to see the whole park . Yeah, its 360. Look, it goes all the way around. Go lets go, lets go, lets go. Hold on, moms calling. Hey, mom. Where are you guys . Well be back soon. Love you, bye mom. Love you, mom bye mom. Hey, guys . Alright, ill see you tomorrow that was awesome . . whispers rocket hey come quick. My new beer, stella artois, is finished. The people will love it. Originally brewed for the holidays. Enjoyed ever since. Al right after the game, it is the volkswagen post game to interview the stars of the game. And he will not return in this game. Cris and a heather, those are the only three games that he in there for almost every snap. We thought that maybe it was the leg. But it turned out to be something else. Hope for the best here. Al newton is taking the clock all of the way down to third and eight. Keeping it on the ground. Not much to do here, and Fozzy Whittaker just stays inbounds to take you down to half a minute. So brees will have oh, you know, with the time we get down there to try to get them into field goal range. Cris you know, i have to go back for one moment to the decision to play the zone out of that play. Most defensive coordinators and not all, but most defensive coordinators in that situation will bring the blitz believing even if they throw hot, you can come up to make the tackle at about seven yards and force the now i am not saying it is a wrong decision, but i am saying that typically in this league that is what you will see. Al surprising. Timeout here. For carolina. Go back to the benjamin catch. Cris and they rush out and rush four here, and they get close to getting to cam newton and there is definite pressure up the gut, but there is if you can understand what i am saying that typically you bring you have to throw hot on the outside, and usually a slant or some kind of the stop route to come up to make the play. And you know, there is no right answer, but it is just that it is the typical one that i see. Al i am with you, brother. Always. Thick or thin. Cris until sunday. [ laughter ] al mike palardy is in to punt. I will with be back, dont palardy in his first nfl game, and another booming kick at the 13 yard line. Marcus murphy and he will get taken down at the 25 and then a flag at the end of the play, and another flag that comes in, and for the moment, you have 14 second seconds on the clock. Referee during the return, holding, 54 of the receiving team, 10yard penalty, first down. Al that is the last thing they needed. That is nate stupar and now you are forced to air it out. 14 seconds and hope to get out of boundsle because you dont have a long pass and if you are carolina, you know, you have to guard the sidelines, but then again, you have to be careful over the middle, too. Cris yes, and now you can catch one over the middle, but you better fly to get out of bounds. I think that this is one of at the sideline and hope nfor te best. Al yep. Try to get lutz in field goal ran range. Cris you have to throw it 50yards plus to have a chance at a field goal on the other side. Lutz career long is 57. Al he won the game with 11 seconds left when these two teams met in louisiana last mon month. So brees now just dumps it off here sh here, and it is hightower who six seconds. Cris well, you have big tight ends, but not so big wide receivers. We have seen Brandon Coleman go up to get one, and Michael Thomas is a big body. I am not sure now that you can throw a hail mary and get out of bound, and maybe it is one of the stanford plays now. Al and the thing is that you which would extend the game by one play. So brees, and he is going to throw to the sideline, and they have one more play . They do. Michael thomas makes the catch. Now, you it up to the 36 yard line which is fine and dandy, and now what do you do . Cris i mean, it may be fine, but not dandy, because you have to throw this thing 65 yards into the end zone. With who knows, maybe drew brees can still do it. Al a hook and trailer. You have all kinds of gimmicks. Cris but you have the buy the time to get the receivers down there anyway. Al just a threeman rush, and they will throw the short pass here. Give it to thomas. Well, they made this crowd sweat it out, didnt they . Cris huge win. Al 233, and winds up 2320, and each of the teams is now 46. They are each two games behind the division leading atlanta falcons.

The cam newton to Kelvin Benjamin was the only first down here on nbc thursday night football to kick off week 11. Moments ago, heather cox met up with thomas davis of the p panthers defense. Heather thank you, rich. Thomas, after giving up the lead last week in a tough loss, what was the key to this panther team finishing tonight . Well, it is just that. Staying focused and finishing a as Football Team. We put ourselves in a bad situation once we got the big lead and allowed them to get back into the game, but tonight, we did a great job as a Football Team to finish the game.

Al, back up stastairs to you. Al all right. Thank you, heather. Lets hope for the best for luke kuechly. They go to the west coast to oakland and seattle and still alive at 46. And the saints are 46, and tampa bay is 45 and d they go to kansas city, and atlanta with the bye, and somebody has to win it. Cris obviously, they have wins over both of these team, and they have a hot quarterback and hot wide receiver doing some damage around the league, so they are the ones to beat here. Al yeah. It is another close game, and you talked about the panthers and they did it again, but this time, they come up on the other side. Four losses of three or fewer, and huge catch by ginn, and when the ship comes in by the hollies . Oh the fishes will laugh as they swim out of the path . . And the seagulls theyll be smilin . .
