00:00Desmond King number 20 is deep for the Los Angeles Chargers
00:08And a few yards deep in the end zone he will bring it out
00:13The 20 bringing it to the near side and out to about the 40-yard line terrific return for Desmond King
00:24This is Eckler
00:27Inside and nothing there
00:30As he is knocked down by cornerback Kenny Moore Rivers just needs to get rid of the ball
00:36On second and eight rivers to throw his first
00:39He's complete but not for very much to Keenan Allen as he is wrapped up and brought to the turf by Anthony Walker
00:49Rivers has to pull it down and then he goes down
00:54Ben Banigoo second round draft pick out of TCU
01:00Colts come up with the sack forcing a punt
01:02Chester Rogers is deep for the kick
01:10Takes the Chargers bounce and scooped up by Rogers
01:15And doesn't make it back to the 15-yard line I
01:19Think he has a better grasp of things. You saw that 130 straight passes without an interception quick pass to the outside
01:25That's T Y Hilton and Hilton goes out of bounds on the far side right around
01:32The 17-yard line
01:41Percept looks right throws right and the completion is made to Dion Kane
01:51The pitch for Mac looking for a way around the left side and there's no
01:56wrestled out of bounds by Desmond King
02:00He did so many things for them last year defensively all pro as a rookie
02:04Involved in sacks interceptions as the Colts take it outside
02:08And again quick to the ball
02:11And the Chargers stuff that and it'll be third and long
02:15From a protection standpoint. You're trying to figure out which way to slide. I would slide to those two third and nine
02:21We're set under pressure and going down
02:24Melvin Ingram the first to get to it Colts allowed 18 sacks last season. That was the fewest in the NFL
02:35This is King watch it bounce. It's a sideways move out of bounds
02:41It's a sideways move out of bounds
02:48And this is a clear out of the backfield 35 leapfrogs
02:53And comes down about a yard short of a first down
02:58Eckler and Derek walk in the backfield now what is the fullback?
03:02He might have it before he's pushed back make him think back there in the pocket
03:08River
03:09Over the middle. That's a floor again and their crosses midfield and looks again like he's within a body yard of another first down
03:24Yes first down and much more
03:26Yes
03:31First down and much more 30 25-yard line
03:44For a couple inside the 25 to about the 22, but here he is right now starting week one of his third season
03:51Again
03:53With running room to the 15 to the 10
03:58Who goes all the way the Australian works out the whole time well Austin echo
04:03This is Jackson
04:06Second and goal
04:13For the end zone overthrows his intended receiver Jackson out of the backfield
04:21Heckler alongside rivers on third and goal from the nine
04:29Rivers pro to the five that's complete to Don trail in them
04:34It'll be fourth and goal
04:36As you can see long the punter is now with Badgley's injury a couple days ago now is is forced into kicking duty
04:44So a first the first and a first for all three of them from 22 yards out
04:47And
04:50Get much better than that for starters penalty markers down
04:55Here's Sean Smith
04:58Personal foul unnecessary roughness defense number 96
05:07Automatic first down so that is on Danieko Autry now they got first and goal
05:12You take the three points off the board and now you're gonna try and get six
05:15Of the pitch for Keenan Allen Allen to about the one
05:22On second and goal rivers roll roll touchdown Austin Eckler
05:31Two of the tight ends collapsed down one releases on a corner route rivers reverses out
05:35Catches gethers looking in the backfield not the prettiest throw
05:39But sometimes touch that touchdowns don't have to be hit how it how it ends up excellent job by Eckler
05:44Concentrating on that bringing it in for the touchdown
05:47So now instead of the field goal, here's Ty long for the extra point
05:56That's been pretty well, too
06:03Harris Campbell the rookie second round pick out of Ohio State on the run
06:09Leaping forward to about the 25-yard line. I
06:13Can tell you haven't been through a bunch of injuries and surgeries it does get old so I give him credit
06:18That pass is complete to Devin funchess
06:21Well in Frank Reich is as steady as can be he has all the confidence in the world and Jacoby Brissett and is moving forward
06:30Marlon Mack pushed back
06:32Forward progress mark close to the 35-yard line
06:36The same number of reps and I think as this season progresses and as he
06:40Understands what Frank Reich's offense is I think that only improves third and one percent to throw got him wide open coming across the field
06:47That is complete to Jack Doyle first down across midfield and to the Los Angeles 46-yard line
06:54So Naheem Hines has come into the backfield for Indianapolis now
06:58As we approach the final minute of play here in the first quarter little screen for high
07:03Inside the 40 to about the 38-yard line
07:10This is Matt
07:13Looking for the first down and may have it at about the 36
07:18Brandon me Bain there to make the tackle as we begin the second Marlon Mack in the backfield
07:25And Brissett with the keeper on third and one and a first down
07:30He may take sacks, but he's not gonna turn the ball over or hasn't turned the ball over in the past
07:35on first down play fake
07:37Stepping up looking pulls it down and he's gonna run inside the 30 and slides down at about the 28
07:45As Brissett looks at a second and four
07:51Let's see inside has some running room and has a first down to about the 22
07:59Much more comfortable in this offense year number two in the Frank Reich system from the 22
08:04percent
08:07It's his man inside the 20-yard line Mo Alley Cox the tight end out of Virginia Commonwealth
08:13No real advantage because both teams run similar systems
08:18Brissett
08:21Inside the 15-yard line TY Hilton, there's a third and two
08:26Mac
08:29Mac pulls his way to the 11-yard line ended up for a first down
08:33Three four three on third down in this drive for the Colts
08:37You have a first down at the Charger 11
08:44Brissett growing tipped in the air and complete into the end zone
08:48Watch TY Hilton down here at the bottom. Mac up the middle. Mac to the five
08:53Those two were allowed to get back on the field with that timeout. Brissett to the end zone. Touchdown
08:59TY Hilton
09:01Twelve hundred and seventy receiving yards and six touchdown catches a year ago
09:07As opposed to taking his eyes right there all of a sudden you can get the drift and takes away that lane
09:12He's got a good shot. He's got a good shot. He's got a good shot
09:14As opposed to taking his eyes right there all of a sudden you can get the drift and takes away that lane and here is
09:19game number
09:20354 in the great career of Adam Villatari, but he missed that extra point attempt
09:27Of a particular team all-time as we celebrate the NFL's 100th season
09:33That kick is into the end zone and Desmond King will take a knee and it'll come out to the 25-yard line
09:40So Ekler and Watt in the backfield as Rivers goes back to work on offensive
09:49Playfaith. With time. Got his man open midfield. The catch is made by Keenan Allen
10:00Travis Benjamin. Benjamin turns the corner on the right side and looking for another first down. He's very close. Let's see where they mark him out
10:10Oh make it a first down. It is a first down inside the 40-yard line
10:18Rivers
10:21Ekler inside the 30. Ekler to the 25
10:26Now the charges from the 25
10:31Inside the 20. They'll mark him down at about the 20-yard line
10:39Second and five. Rivers under pressure and goes down again
10:44You mentioned a year ago 12 games for the Chiefs, nine sacks
10:49But he's dealt with some injuries here over the last few seasons
10:52Penalty marker falls as Justin Jackson makes his way inside the 10. Let's check the flag
11:00Legal formation. Offense number 78. Not on the line of scrimmage. 5-yard penalty. Replay third down
11:10Third and 13
11:15Rivers steps up throwing inside the five. Caught. Touchdown Keenan Allen
11:27Watch as the pocket collapses. Rivers steps up to buy time. He throws this ball
11:32There's two defenders and only Keenan Allen
11:35That ball could have very easily been intercepted
11:37But as I said the quarterback and receiver, it has to be a confidence thing
11:45Long's kick is on the way and Long's kick is good. Third down alignment issue that all of a sudden moved the Chargers back
11:55Paris Campbell will not return this one or fall into the end zone
12:00First down
12:03Brissette lost the handle and fell on it. Lost a yard on the play
12:12On second and 11, this is Mack
12:15Comes into traffic at about the 25 and may have gotten
12:19Across the 25 to the 26 and will be third and 9
12:28Brissette
12:29Great protection. Now throwing and that is incomplete about the 30-yard line and Desmond King deep for the punt
12:43Blocked
12:45Falls short and is going to roll to a stop just across the 45-yard line
12:51This way and off the hands of Keenan Allen and incomplete
13:03Tremendous trust you have to have in your receivers when throwing a ball like that
13:09Trying to pick his way through the Indianapolis defense
13:14To the 45 that's played itself out so far as I got third and on here
13:21With protection that pass is complete inside the 35 to the 32 is Mike Williams his first catch of the day for a first down
13:31And that's Taylor in motion
13:37Trying to throw it away and he does at the feet of Taylor
13:42It'll be second and 10
13:44They obviously wanted to get a play-action pass and get a couple guys up the field trying to cause confusion in the defense that didn't
13:50Happen, so get rid of the ball instead of taking the set on second and 10. This is Justin Jackson and Jackson finds a hole left side
13:58Across the 25 to about the 23 or 24 yard line Justin Houston making the tackle again two minutes to play
14:07Third and one
14:09The game is to Derek Watt and Watt looking for first down yardage in the middle of the pile
14:15And looks like he has it
14:21Rivers and it's blocked at the line of scrimmage second and ten
14:34Rivers under pressure got rid of it
14:43Third and ten they need the 12-yard line for a first down
14:47River
14:49On the move again throwing down the sideline incomplete his receiver stopped
14:55That was Mike Williams
14:58As we mentioned new holder new snapper new kicker
15:01Olindo Murray the last
15:04player to punt
15:06And had a kick attempt in his first career game ever
15:11Long looking for
15:13The field goal from 40 yards out
15:21And long kicking it away to Paris Campbell
15:29Two yards deep in the end zone and here comes Campbell
15:3420 and no further
15:37And
15:38Lots of lots of other things going on on this opening day
15:42Well to Kobe Brissett has 56 seconds and one timeout still in his pocket
15:47He'll shy away from the middle of field just yet
15:50far side
15:51Catches made out to the 45-yard line Deon Kane
15:56Clock continues to move. That's a 25-yard pickup
16:04Line of scrimmage now the 46
16:06and
16:15Percept looking left again and throwing back shoulder past that time and the catch is made by Devin funches
16:22So just that quickly Colts have moved to the Chargers 38 with 24 seconds to play
16:29Respect or preset out of the backfield to Hines and Hines
16:34Getting it out of bounds and stopping the clock with 18 to play second and eight
16:44Percent over the middle inside the 30-yard line is Eric Ebron the tight end
16:53And the clock winding down for three and timeout is called
16:58And timeout is called kicking in his 51st different stadium today
17:08On its way and he missed it the other way this time
17:16We'll see how quickly or if the Colts can get it started as they start the second half here Paris Campbell
17:24Will not return this one and we check in with Melanie
17:27from the 25
17:32And we're set we'll give it to mac mac will turn the corner left side first down yardage and more
17:41Close to midfield it's going to be marked out just at the 50-yard line
17:48Max still in there
17:50Quick
17:54And once again gets the handoff and gets about five
17:59Needs to be a powerful asset for Jacoby Bursette moving forward throughout this entire season. Hines is in the backfield now
18:06On second and five he gets the handoff
18:10And he gets the first down as he spins inside the 40 to the 39
18:14Colts rush for 30 yards in the first half. They have 36 rushing yards on this drive
18:20Mac again mac picking his way inside the 30
18:26To the 29 and that looks to be enough for another indianapolis first down
18:34Mac once again
18:37And Jacoby Bursette is going to be able to take advantage of that second and seven this is hinds
18:45And nowhere to go on the far side is thomas davis stacked that one up
18:51Another team
18:55Bursette throwing incomplete
18:58A 44 yarder he has never in his career missed two field goals on a pat in the same game
19:07And he won't miss this one host superbowl 56 in 2022
19:15That kick sails through the end zone desmond king with no chance
19:19And we stand at 17 to 9 and here is rivers from his own 25
19:27Let's start with eckler on the ground
19:30and
19:31Nothing to speak of there at all. Danico autry with the stop and we check in with melanie
19:42On second down a little bobble by rivers regains control and throws and completes it to travis benjamin
19:49Yeah
19:51Under 10 minutes to play here in the third
20:00Rivers hit hard penalty mark ball is loose. Yes
20:07Offside defense number 99
20:14So third and three now for the chargers
20:18Rivers steps up throws over the middle got his man to the 45 yard line and a first down
20:26Talking to rivers about him
20:27He said he just provides such a weapon because he has so much range and where he can throw him the football
20:33Quick look for eckler eckler inside his blocks 40 35 still on his feet and gonna go the rest of the way
20:40Hey
20:47Excellent play design and misdirection a play fake here
20:50You give a flash flake fake to the reverse pounces out in space gets a piece on the butt
20:55You got to bring him down two guys coming to contact with eckler. You can see him chopping at the football
21:00They're trying more to strip the football out than they were trying to get the tackle eckler kept his balance
21:05Now watch that two guys stop chop and try ripping the football out instead of wrapping up his legs
21:11Second receiving touchdown on the day long for the extra point and it is perfect
21:18Paris campbell is deep
21:22And will not get a chance to return this one either
21:31Grissett pull it over the middle complete
21:35Across the 35 to about the 37 or 38 yard line to ty hilton
21:40Pay as much as is what some of these other backs are getting because we've got an entire team
21:45We're trying to spread the money around too. So it's just a matter of them coming to terms on on what happens
21:49Look at marlin mack go up the sideline 15 10 5 touchdown
21:57No penalty flags, well, that was the answer they needed
22:00So
22:08Because it's a score they're going to obviously look at it replay we got to see if he stepped out of bounds as he's working
22:12this line
22:14Doesn't appear we see anything there
22:17They come in and sweep his legs
22:20Touchdown colts
22:23So
22:28With a shot of adrenaline for the offense when they needed it, it's a career-long run for marlin mack
22:35then a terry
22:38Right down the middle
22:40That she works with us congratulations suzanne well deserved
22:47That's out of the end zone for the touchback
22:52Yeah
22:55Justin jackson and the colts showing a little fire anthony walker
23:04Through everything that happened. This is an eight-point game
23:09Here's jackson again this time jackson with some room 35 40 45 and brought down short of midfield
23:176 20 to play in the third
23:194 39
23:21Jackson to the sideline eckler into the backfield
23:24rivers
23:25Under pressure and goes down to the 40 yard line
23:28coming from the far side
23:31al-qadeen muhammad
23:42Rivers for eckler eckler up the sideline and out of bounds at midfield
23:48Let's see what rivers dials up here on third and eight
23:56Under pressure got hit from behind ball is loose and fallen on at the 45 yard line
24:10Fair catch called for and made at the 10 yard line
24:14With mac in the backfield brissette calling the signals
24:18And he'll throw and that's ty hilton and hilton down to the 19 yard line
24:26Second and one and this is mac and mac with first down yardage out to about the 24
24:34First down indianapolis
24:38From their own 24 brissette under pressure
24:42And goes down and that's joey bosa
24:46Conducted himself and really the way he was able to recover and train
24:50Short pass to heinz and heinz can't find any running room as the charger defense stands tall again
24:58Boy look at how far off the ball of half the team
25:03On defense for the chargers are
25:06A quick pass out to the far side that is hilton hilton with some running room
25:10And it's going to come up a few yards short of a first down
25:15So desmond king is deep
25:18And sanchez with a booming kick
25:23Gonna come down lost the ball. It is loose on the turf. Who's got it. I think the colts came up with it
25:36So
25:42Indy football
25:49For set to throw down the sideline incomplete
25:56Ty hilton the intended receiver
26:06Inside the 20 to the 18 yard line third one
26:13Mac gets the first down inside the 15 yard line
26:18Well, the reason right before the break that I was saying it was smarter than to go for it instead of waiting till the quarter
26:22Get the ball snapped quickly. Don't give the defense time to rest and they will pick up the first down
26:28mac
26:30Might have gotten two yards on the play, you know, the charger sideline is set up
26:35So they're in the shade. They've been in the shade most of the day and you can see over on the colt sideline
26:39they've actually have
26:40People standing with boards trying to get their guys some shade or protection when they're when they're over on the sideline
26:47Fake to mac the pass to the far side is paris campbell
26:57Reset over the middle enzo touchdown
27:00Eric, ebron. No, he's ruled incomplete and juggled it
27:06The call on the field is it was incomplete because he was bobbling it and there's the challenge flag right throws the challenge. Yep
27:12The official was right there to take to keep an eye on it to see if he bobbled it. He bobbled it
27:18But did he ever lose control of it?
27:21Welcome back everyone while you were away the call
27:26the challenge
27:28Was upheld or at least the call on the field was upheld. It's still an incomplete pass. No touchdown
27:34Had hit the ground inbounds part of him securing the football. So here is the notary and he hits
27:42The upright
27:44So back to work on offense for rivers and the chargers
27:49And rivers over the middle keen and alan alan running room out across the 40 to about the 41 yard line
28:04Yeah
28:12Close to the 45
28:15The ball immediately comes close or comes loose. I'm, sorry, that would constitute an incomplete pass a good ruling of stands. Gotcha. Gene. Thank you
28:24rivers to throw
28:26Over the middle got his man
28:28Inside the 35 to the 33 is hunter henry
28:32Get the threes of mine
28:36Eckler and derrick walk in the backfield behind rivers and this is eckler
28:41And eckler
28:42inside the 25
28:45And slammed down at about the 24 maybe the 23 yard line. We have a penalty marker down
28:53Holding offense number 86 10 yard penalty replay first down
28:59We will see those new york giants next sunday
29:04Trent melanie and I and our crew would be a giant stadium for the new york giants buffalo bills
29:10Game and that ball was tipped and falls incomplete in the backfield
29:20Rivers
29:21over the middle caught
29:24And to about the 20 yard line is mike williams that'll be about three yards short of a first down third and three big 33
29:44Rivers throwing wide open got his man keen and alan and alan inside the 10th
29:50To about the seven maybe the six yard line kenny moore brought him down, but it'll be first and goal
29:58Eckler
29:59With walk blocking in front of him cuts inside and there's pretty much no gain on the play
30:05But austin eckler's having a heck of a day 29 yards rushing 96 yards receiving justin jackson 54 yards rushing on five carries
30:16Rivers end zone intercepted
30:20Picked off by malik hooker and hooker back up the sideline
30:25What a pick
30:28Marlon mack colt's been able to run the football in the second half and they do so again here
30:44He'll give it to mac and mac
30:50Looks like making something out of nothing gets himself a first down
31:01Out to the 40 you can really see the colts being able to take advantage of it with the run game
31:10Mac
31:12To the 45
31:15That line of costanzo nelson kelly glowinski and braden smith
31:23Mac
31:25Can't find running room there and adrian phillips comes up from the secondary to make the stop
31:32A pro bowl special teamer a year ago
31:34What a great story he is the number of times that he was cut by the chargers
31:38The fact he was undrafted got cut back on the thing it
31:42It's it's a great story and now he has an opportunity to take advantage of it quick pass to heinz and heinz is wrapped up
31:57Merced over the middle and he hits ty hilton
32:03You think you're going to get man-to-man coverage you got a bunch formation down here at the bottom
32:07You try and create some crisscrosses and get a guy released one-on-one on the far side he hit his man
32:13And out of bounds short of the 40 yard line as devon funches for a first down
32:18Meanwhile new set of downs
32:21Colts the challenge that failed only has two timeouts remaining
32:26Around and from the ends paris campbell and campbell inside the 35 to the 34
32:37Good
32:40This is heinz going nowhere
32:44Ford progress can be marked at the 33 yard line
32:48Doyle moving back and more of a traditional tight end stance inside
32:53This is mac and mac
32:56And that's what they've had success with to the 30 for a first down
33:00And that will bring us to the two minute warning first down
33:04Colts
33:07At the 29 yard line of the chargers, this is mac mac
33:14Around the corner corralled by melvin ingram colts are going to the line of scrimmage
33:19They don't want fresh bodies coming in for the defensive front
33:23of the chargers
33:27Mac again
33:30And this is close to a first down
33:34Signaled it. Yeah
33:36The defense that's where they went when they needed the big key. That's where he's looking. That's where he's throwing it is incomplete
33:44intended for funchess
33:54We're set
33:57Hilton shakes a tackle up the sideline looking for the end zone
34:03Touchdown touchdown
34:06I thought they had him tackled behind
34:09Jacoby looking up the field and then he goes to his secondary route underneath
34:14That little move right there
34:17And then the burst as he dives, let's see the ball hits the inside of the pylon the foot isn't out of bounds
34:23Coming down to this two-point attempt
34:26So
34:31All right now
34:33411 deon kane comes to the near side of the field mac is in the backfield. Here we go
34:38What's the rpo to this side? He can hand it now. They're moving it around
34:43Play clock down to two
34:46Mac
34:47Bullying his way. Did he get there?
34:50He did get there
34:56So
34:58Just pushing the pile count quentin nelson in the mix, too
35:04And they took advantage of it so desmond king is deep and king will not return this one
35:13So here's philip rivers
35:17Two timeouts you can use the whole field looks like the colts are giving a two-shell probably go a two-man
35:22Nope they drop it off in the middle. That's hunter henry henry across the 30 to about the 32 yard line
35:28second and two
35:34Rivers gets rid of it to the far side and that is complete to virgil green
35:39Had a lot of success with crossing patterns today
35:42So
35:46Rivers man whistle is a penalty marker on the far side and this was a procedure penalty false start against the charges it would appear
35:57False start
35:59offense number 69
36:00five yard penalty
36:02replay first out
36:04Two dbs very deep in the secondary for indianapolis
36:07But greg don't attack the middle of the field for a five or ten yard game
36:10You've got to get a chunk if you're going to middle of the field
36:14There's a penalty marker flying
36:17Quincy wilson defending against eckler
36:21pass interference defense
36:23number 31
36:24Of all the plays that spawn and foul automatic first down if i'm gonna throw the middle of field
36:28I want to get a 15 20 yard chunk down the middle
36:32rivers
36:33gonna heave nearside
36:36Overthrown lands out of bounds travis benjamin the intended receiver
36:44Rivers
36:46Got rid of it far side of the field
36:48And this is justin jackson and he can't get anywhere and timeout is called to stop the clock with eight seconds to play
36:59It is a one-man rush
37:02The rivers and he's just going to run this out of bounds as time expires desmond king is deep for the chargers
37:13And this will be a touchback trend you were talking during the break rivers in the chargers from their own 25
37:22And they'll start with rivers throwing the football
37:27Underthrown
37:29Ball comes in low
37:32It doesn't appear that it hits the ground looks like he got his hands underneath it
37:38They just stopped back
37:43Rivers throwing
37:46Got his man at the 40 yard line and that's hunter henry. That's another first down
37:51And still are and leaving and leaving that window underneath which they've taken advantage of the last two completions have been right in that window
37:57breaking tackles
37:59Squeezes down to about the 37
38:03Rivers taking a look signaling out to his right and this is echo
38:09echo with room to run
38:1120 inside the 20 close to the 15 yard line
38:17And la touchdown wins this game for the chargers
38:22This is jackson jackson
38:2520
38:27To the 15
38:29Give your offense an opportunity to get the football
38:31You got to hold the chargers to a field goal attempt or get a turnover like they did the last time they're down here
38:39Rivers steps up throws complete inside the
38:48Last time they're in this situation. They did a quick fullback dive watts in the game
38:55390
38:57There is watt and watt has the first down it'll be first and goal at about the seven yard line
39:04once again
39:05eckler and watt in the backfield
39:13Eckler to the five to the end zone chargers win it
39:24Yeah
39:31What a game for austin eckler
39:3496 yards receiving and two touchdowns 58 yards rushing on the ground and the game-winning touchdown
39:43He's just coming in here he's going to wind it back into the end zone this offensive line's been solid
39:50Especially the inside part of that offensive line
39:54And for at least one week no melvin gordon no problem for the chargers
40:01This was a great football game greg very well played by both teams
40:08What a day for the third year running back out of western state in colorado
40:13I don't know if this is the time to get into the overtime rules because I know they've changed and gone back and forth
40:18But I would love to have seen indianapolis get a crack at it
40:23You
