00:00As told me it's leather and we are underway for what should be an entertaining double
00:10header Monday night football.
00:11The big fella.
00:12I'll start with Carlos Hyde who gets off a good run for nine yards.
00:13He just arrived to the Texans.
00:14Alert the offensive line when it's time to snap the ball.
00:15The first down is Hyde, takes it ahead, number, empty look here on first down for Watson.
00:31Twenty-fourth game of his NFL career.
00:34Full start.
00:35Offense, number 87, five-yard penalty, first down.
00:49Last season, Duke Johnson in the backfield with him.
00:51As he goes low to the key from...
00:52Second and 15, they only bring four as it's driven to Luke Hopkins.
01:04John Perry.
01:05New Orleans is challenging the ruling on the field of a completed catch.
01:09NFL fishing analyst John, it's going to be an easy one.
01:11Reveals what could be to come.
01:13Let's see how they handle it here in third and 15.
01:16As Jordan chasing him down and getting to Deshaun Watson.
01:21Ham Jordan.
01:22Mass.
01:23Out to field the Trevor Daniel punt.
01:27There's Harris on the 19.
01:35As he cuts and a flag is down as he makes his way.
01:40During the return.
01:41Legal block in the back.
01:43Number 24.
01:44Ten yard penalty from the spot of the foul.
01:47First down.
01:51Gets it to Alvin Kamara.
01:52First play of their season as Kamara turns it on to the outside.
01:57Mark Ingram had a big day with his new team Baltimore on that route of the Dolphins yesterday.
02:03There's Brees.
02:12Play caller's dream.
02:13Second and one.
02:14Gets it to who else but Michael Thomas.
02:18All he did is have 125 catches a year ago.
02:2124 yards there.
02:22Taysom Hill who's the Swiss Army knife of the NFL in the game.
02:26Number seven.
02:27Brees.
02:28He's got time and I'm merciless trying to chase him down before Brees eventually
02:33dumps it off that time to Latavius Murray.
02:37On second and seven.
02:38Zach Lyne.
02:39Very capable fullback shifts over.
02:44Gets it out to Murray again and Murray is taken down that time by Bernardrick McKinney.
02:50Third and six for Brees.
02:55And that is going to be short of the line to make as he gets it to Ted Ginn for four yards.
03:02I'm going to try to pin the Texans here.
03:07And he does so with an inside the ten punt as DeAndre Carter calls up the starting left tackle now.
03:16As Duke Johnson goes straight up the middle for ten and a half.
03:22Harmlessly falls to the ground after going off the hands of Jordan Aikens second year tight end.
03:33That's making these decisions.
03:35He may not be the king but he has the final say so.
03:38Second and ten.
03:42Watson unable to escape.
03:47DeMario Davis was the first to get after him and then came the traffic jam.
03:56Third and fourteen.
03:58Watson is going to check down underneath to Duke Johnson so that sack backs him up.
04:03Two sacks now for a second time.
04:08College football's all time record holder.
04:10Fourteen return touchdowns for this guy.
04:12Deontay Harris on the go out to midfield.
04:15He is quick.
04:16What a burst.
04:17Had the big season.
04:20Camara gets ahead.
04:23Or the pass.
04:26Second and three after Camara went for seven.
04:28Brees down field.
04:30Over through the intended target.
04:32He was looking for the newly acquired.
04:35Flanking Brees as Camara's in the slot on third and three.
04:38They only bring three and with that it's complete to Michael Thomas who darts inside the thirty for a Saints first down.
04:45Fourteen yard reception.
04:47It's hard to guard on Mike.
04:49As they go with some jet motion here with Camara who's up and in and the ball comes loose at the end.
04:56Whistle is saying he's down by three.
04:59And the ball comes loose at the end.
05:01Whistle is saying he's down by contact.
05:04As it was Bradley Rowe.
05:06Camara football in a lot of different ways there on a little jet sweep.
05:10Zach Cunningham there getting physical.
05:12Rowe coming up underneath.
05:14I'm impressed by this Texans defense so far.
05:16Ball a lot.
05:17I might establish the run if I would have.
05:19Seven, nine, Brees and there is Thomas.
05:23With those suction cup hands of third down and four.
05:28Brees to the outside.
05:31And that will go for a first down into the hands of Jared Cook for six yards.
05:38Jason Hill in motion.
05:40As they will keep it on the ground.
05:43And spinning down to the eleven yard line is Octavius Murray.
05:47Second and five Murray remains in.
05:50Brees.
05:52Pumps.
05:53Watts chasing Brees.
05:56And it is intercepted by Merciless.
05:58Boy oh boy Brees trying to extend the play and make something of it.
06:02He's picked off.
06:11There Merciless gets him at the six yard line.
06:13And now Watson from his end zone.
06:15And he wants it all.
06:18And what an effort by Will Fuller.
06:22Up and over Eli Apple.
06:26The Texans they knew they were going to get man to man coverage.
06:28Eli Apple on Will Fuller.
06:30Deep threat.
06:32And he just goes up and gets the ball.
06:34Athletic play from Fuller.
06:40That was incredible.
06:42Will Fuller.
06:44Up around.
06:46Get around the shoulder pad.
06:48Fifty four yard toss that time.
06:50As the flag is down here on the carry.
06:52Holding.
06:55Number 76.
06:57Got no penalty.
06:59Second down.
07:01Play clock is counting down.
07:03Second and 13 tries to get it out quickly.
07:05And he does to Newk.
07:07And Hopkins darts ahead to the 30 yard line.
07:13Johnson is met at the line of scrimmage.
07:15And now Deshaun Watson facing a second and nine.
07:21As he pulls it and gets it to Hopkins.
07:23But it goes incomplete.
07:25As Hopkins thought he had a good shot at it.
07:27Coverage came from Lattimore.
07:29Third down and nine.
07:35Quickly out.
07:37And able this time to secure it is Hopkins.
07:39Let's check this mark.
07:41Line to make was that 20 yard line.
07:45Looks like it's going to be maybe half a yard short there.
07:49Remember the ruling on the field was that the spot was short of the line to gain.
07:52John what do you see?
07:54They're doing some administration stuff down there.
07:56So be curious to see if they make a change.
07:58But to me it looked like a great spot.
08:00Based on the knee being down.
08:02And where the ball was.
08:04After review.
08:06The ruling on the field of the progress spot stands.
08:08Houston had called a timeout.
08:12Subsequently they challenged thereafter.
08:14As a result of a challenge being lost.
08:16They will be charged a second timeout.
08:18They have one timeout remaining.
08:21Great job by the crew there.
08:23Number four Deshaun Watson.
08:25So here we go.
08:27Fourth and inches.
08:31And he pulls.
08:33And Watson is going to have more than just a first down.
08:35Leaping towards the goal line.
08:37Touchdown Houston.
08:4121 yard rushing touchdown.
08:43Deshaun Watson.
08:47Let's pay attention to number 88.
08:50Understand this.
08:52He's reading the defensive end.
08:54And the defensive end goes down.
08:56Deshaun Watson goes on the outside.
08:58He's got a lead block.
09:00Number 88 Jordan Akins.
09:02They call it a block.
09:04The tight end comes around.
09:06He bluffs the defensive end.
09:08And he turns into a lead block for the quarterback.
09:10What they worried about.
09:12When you talk to this Saints defense.
09:14As Fairbairn adds the extra point.
09:16And a 94 yard drive.
09:19In Houston.
09:21Fairbairn will kick away.
09:25And here is Harris again.
09:27Just inside the end zone.
09:29He is met.
09:31And then muscles his way at least out.
09:33To the 20 yard line.
09:39Trying to quickly get it out.
09:41To Thomas.
09:49Down for Brees.
09:51And Camara.
09:57See if JJ Watt can get some pressure here on 3rd down.
09:593rd down and 4.
10:01Brees with time goes downfield.
10:03And he's able to connect with Jared Cook.
10:05Great addition to this Saints offense.
10:07Is Cook.
10:11He's got two catches tonight on 3rd down for Brees.
10:13Brees to the other side this time.
10:15And Thomas gathers it.
10:17For a 1st down.
10:19Texas need to make that adjustment.
10:21Camara.
10:23Trying to find something up the middle.
10:25And she goes ahead for 5 yards.
10:29Her 5 year contract.
10:31Here's Taysom Hill now.
10:33Lining up at quarterback.
10:35Looking for the zone read here.
10:39And Hill will get to Camara.
10:41And Camara trying to break that first.
10:43Attempt to tackle Zach Cunningham.
10:46Big expectations ahead.
10:48For what could be the career of Taysom Hill.
10:503rd and 3 now.
10:56Brees looking for Camara.
10:58And it will be a Saints 1st down.
11:00We got the fullback in the game.
11:02When he's in the game they want to get to more of their power game.
11:04Let's take a look at it.
11:06That's offset the exact line.
11:08And they run behind him with Camara.
11:10But a good run fit that time.
11:12By McKinney and Cole.
11:15By the way there's Shawn Watson still in the medical tent.
11:17And he's going to give us an update there.
11:19Brees extending.
11:21Extending.
11:23And then just getting rid of it.
11:2519.8
11:27Giving up a year ago.
11:29Here's 3rd and 9.
11:31Brees look at the time he has.
11:33But good coverage.
11:35And once again.
11:37Running out of options.
11:39Contract extension this offseason.
11:42Contract extension this offseason.
11:4432 yard attempt.
11:54So after the
11:56field goal for the Saints.
11:58Touchback here.
12:00Landed on his lower back.
12:04Here's Watson.
12:06Good job opposing fast.
12:08Was Marshawn Lattimore that time.
12:11On DeAndre Hopkins.
12:13It's early in the season just for the entire defensive backfield for the Saints.
12:15And then later in the season.
12:17Duke Johnson.
12:19Going to fight his way just past.
12:21The line of scrimmage.
12:23Davenport is the young athletic freak.
12:25In year number 2 after they traded up.
12:27Had 4.5 sacks a year ago.
12:293rd and 6.
12:31They got right on Watson but he gets it out somehow.
12:33Into the hands of Hopkins.
12:35I mean right in the face of pressure.
12:37Of Cam Jordan.
12:39Hangs in tough.
12:4110 yards on 3rd and 6.
12:43Jordan was right there to need him.
12:45He is so tough.
12:47Watson.
12:49Downfield again.
12:51And nearly.
12:53Intercepted but up and over.
12:55And then Hopkins couldn't control.
12:57But Vaughn Bell tried to go up.
12:59And get it.
13:01So a 2nd and 10.
13:03Boy is Watson fun to watch isn't he?
13:06Here's Duke Johnson.
13:08Weaves his way.
13:10Slithering on that screen.
13:12And then.
13:18They go with a tap pass to Kenny Stills.
13:20The other part of that trade from Miami.
13:22And Stills goes ahead for 4 yards.
13:24With a chain mover.
13:26So Kenny Stills.
13:36Watson.
13:38Looking over his options.
13:40And then settling on Hyde.
13:42Only able to get 2 yards.
13:44Before the pursuit got to him there.
13:46AJ Klein with the tackle.
13:54There's Hyde.
13:56And Hyde.
13:58Breaks free.
14:00And then delivers a blow to Vaughn Bell.
14:0221 yards.
14:05For Carlos Hyde.
14:07When the offensive linemen.
14:09Come off.
14:11Rob him down.
14:13Come back.
14:15And Hyde just cuts off of him.
14:17Working well there up front.
14:19And this time.
14:21That Saints defensive front.
14:23Is able to create a wall against Carlos Hyde.
14:25Sheldon Rankin still trying to work his way back.
14:27From the affiliates.
14:292nd and 9.
14:31There is the aggression.
14:34As he moves ahead.
14:36Before he's taken down.
14:38By Mitchell Laven.
14:40He has to get off the field here on this down.
14:42They get pressure.
14:44Watson launches down field.
14:46To the end zone.
14:48Well beyond Will Fuller.
14:50But a flag is down.
14:52Holding.
14:54Defense number 26.
14:565 yard penalty.
14:58Automatic.
15:00First down.
15:03Short space but you don't want to match up with speed.
15:05Down the middle of the field.
15:07So first down for the Texans.
15:09And Duke Johnson will dive ahead.
15:11Forward close to the 15 yard line.
15:19Keep it on the ground with Hyde.
15:21Who is trying to get to the outside.
15:23As another flag comes down.
15:25And Marcus Williams is able to track.
15:29Holding.
15:31Defense number 88.
15:3310 yard penalty.
15:352nd down.
15:41That was a miscue.
15:43As all of a sudden.
15:45Watson was looking for Duke Johnson.
15:47And Duke wasn't near him.
15:49And remember.
15:51When Miami took him.
15:53He was the number 1 rated player.
15:55And Bill O'Brien thinks he could be an all pro level guy.
15:57For years to come.
16:00Flag is down.
16:02As he gets it to Aikens.
16:04And Aikens lowers his shoulder.
16:06Before making his way to the 13 yard line.
16:08Offside.
16:10Defense.
16:12Number 94.
16:14Lined up in the neutral zone.
16:165 yard penalty from the previous spot.
16:183rd down.
16:2213th play of this drive.
16:24And here's Johnson.
16:26Can he get there?
16:29He starts ahead.
16:31Tips toes to sidelines.
16:33And it will be a first and goal.
16:35Houston.
16:37The first and goal.
16:39And a clock.
16:41Was counting down.
16:43Full start.
16:45Offense.
16:47Number 78.
16:495 yard penalty.
16:51First down.
16:53So the full start will pin them back 5.
16:55First and goal from the 12.
16:59And Hyde.
17:01Trying to regain his footing.
17:03Cheat easy.
17:05Second and goal.
17:07Watson.
17:09Here's Johnson.
17:11As he is met.
17:17Deshawn.
17:19To the end zone.
17:21And Hopkins.
17:23Touchdown.
17:25Watson to Hopkins.
17:29I just love Watson dropping back in the pocket.
17:31Now he steps up.
17:33Physical mismatch.
17:35Look at him.
17:37He's staring at where he's going.
17:39Latimore is on Hopkins.
17:41He's got PJ Williams on the inside.
17:43Nice physical catch.
17:45Redeeming himself.
17:47He's dropped a few tonight.
17:49But he makes that one a contested catch.
17:51He's one of the better ones at that in the National Football League.
17:53Stills got them up.
17:55To move the chains.
17:58And he has made big plays.
18:00To put his team up by 11.
18:02Let's go to Lisa.
18:06So here's Brees.
18:08With under 2 minutes to go.
18:10And trailing in this first half.
18:12A passer.
18:14Drew Brees has got one timeout.
18:16He's going to try to save that as he works down the field.
18:18Brees with time.
18:20With options.
18:22But unable to connect with Michael Thomas.
18:24That pass from Brees.
18:2810.
18:30Here's Camara on the screen.
18:32And what a defensive play that time.
18:34By McKinney.
18:36His first Pro Bowl last year.
18:383rd and 17 after that play.
18:40Brees.
18:42How about going up
18:44and snagging it that time.
18:46Michael Thomas with the effort.
18:48As Roby was all over him.
18:50You can see the marker there.
18:52With half a minute to play here
18:54in this first half.
18:57Joe I think
18:59we're going to have a review.
19:01Before the ball is snapped.
19:03Replay.
19:05Has stopped the game.
19:07The previous play is under review.
19:09And at the time of that touching.
19:11After review the ruling of a completed catch stands.
19:13The ball replaced on the
19:1547 yard line.
19:17Which results in a first down.
19:19The game clock is correct
19:21at 26 seconds.
19:23So it is a first down.
19:25Is the game clock.
19:27Because we reversed to a running clock.
19:29We will take 10 seconds off
19:31the clock.
19:33We will reduce it to 16 seconds.
19:35John what have
19:37we here. With the ball on the
19:3947 yard line. But only 16 seconds
19:41remain. But that first
19:43down is in the pocket. Brees.
19:45That was tipped.
19:47And should have been caught none the less.
19:49As it still made it's way
19:51to Thomas. But it will leave
19:539 ticks of the clock left.
19:55Set up his team in field goal range.
19:59Final seconds. Brees.
20:01As he drives it inside
20:03the 40. Remember they do have the timeout.
20:05Which he will use.
20:0715 yard catch.
20:15And it just leaks off
20:17to the side.
20:19In position.
20:21To come up with a field goal attempt.
20:23But he will get the ball to start this
20:25second half. And here is Deontay
20:27Harris.
20:29As Harris is met. Good coverage
20:31that time. As Cole made the special
20:33teams. He said I'm fine. It's just
20:35a bruise. He's been through
20:37a lot.
20:39He's going to give it a go here.
20:41As he has that whole first half. Ted Ginn
20:43with the reception there. Let's see what
20:45they are.
20:47Murray.
20:49As he was met that time by
20:51Merciless. Mark Ingram in his
20:53offense.
20:57Brees with time. And in
20:59stride. Here he goes.
21:01Alvin Kamara.
21:03And that is exactly
21:05what he can do. Heat up
21:07on a moments notice.
21:0941 yards for number 41.
21:11Finally got it.
21:13Two tight ends with a
21:15double shift. Including
21:17Hill.
21:19As Brees will get
21:21it out to Hill. But Hill couldn't hold
21:23on to it as Aaron Colvin was
21:25closing on him. His first two
21:27years.
21:29And Murray catches a seam.
21:31Here goes Latavious
21:33Murray in for the score.
21:41Murray with the run.
21:43Let's watch number 71 here.
21:45Watch the block that he gets
21:47as he comes down.
21:49Just enough.
21:51Might have gotten away with a hole but just enough.
21:53And Murray doing what he does.
21:59And then transferred
22:01to Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.
22:03And then ended up at Tennessee and now he's a superstar
22:05in the NFL. So connect those dots.
22:11Inside handoff.
22:13Bounces it to the outside.
22:15And will then lower his
22:17shoulder into Demario Davis and it will be
22:19a Texans first down.
22:21Football start of the 50th
22:23season. Play action. Watson
22:25pressure up the middle.
22:27Davenport was on him and then he has to throw
22:29it short. It was the skyrocketing
22:31prospect before the 2018 draft.
22:37Here's Duke Johnson.
22:39Trying to find anything
22:41on that left side.
22:453rd and 8. They only
22:47bring 3. Watson
22:49pumps and then drives
22:51the ball to the 45
22:53yard line complete to Will
22:55Fuller. 15 yards
22:57on 3rd and 8 from DeJuan.
23:03Nothing
23:05happening there for Hyde.
23:07Trey Hendrickson
23:09was there to wrap him up.
23:19Watson turned his back for a moment and realized that
23:21the Saints front was right in his face so he had
23:23to throw it away.
23:27Pressure up the middle.
23:29Pushed back the left guard. Watson
23:31gets free. Look at him go
23:33on 3rd and 10 just
23:35striding along as
23:37Alex Anzalone could do
23:39nothing about it.
23:4118 yards on 3rd and
23:4310 when his left guard was flattened
23:45on his back side.
23:49Lisa. Hey Tess, well I was talking
23:51standing of what they want to be as an
23:53offense of what he's dissecting against
23:55the defense. Sky is the limit
23:57with this guy. 2nd and 4.
24:01As the flag is down
24:03and the ball is intercepted
24:05by Lattimore. We'll of course check on
24:07the flag as Lattimore continues
24:09to return it here.
24:11Watson tried to trip him up and then
24:13he's forced out.
24:15All sides.
24:17Defense. Number 70.
24:195 yard penalty.
24:23They're running the football.
24:27Watson. Into the
24:29end zone and into the hands
24:31of DeAndre Hopkins.
24:36DeAndre Hopkins
24:38against number 23
24:40Lattimore.
24:42Marcus Williams also
24:44has safety inside. It's a little zone
24:46coverage. Cover 4.
24:48Marcus Williams comes down.
24:50They switched the matchup up there.
24:52It wasn't man to man. It was zone. Cover 4.
24:54Marcus Williams
24:56playing off coverage on DeAndre Hopkins.
24:58That's a tough...
25:0121 to 10.
25:03Moments ago.
25:09DeAndre Harris will take a knee.
25:11They didn't know who he was.
25:13I loved it. They had to Google me.
25:15Here's Breeze
25:17as he's able to get rid of it.
25:19And Camara
25:21is able to spin free.
25:23Alvin Camara with the extra
25:25effort there for 11 yards.
25:28You see the videos of his training.
25:30It's gone viral how he does the balance training
25:32down there in South Florida.
25:34And Breeze happy to go back
25:36to Camara again.
25:42Latavious Murray.
25:44So you get Camara
25:46receiving the ball out of the backfield.
25:48Then you get a dose of 230 pound
25:507 year veteran Latavious from Hill.
25:54Zone read. Here we go.
25:57And he pulls it.
25:59So here's Hill trying to get to the outside.
26:01And bouncing off of him at first
26:03was Roby and he was able to keep
26:05his balance.
26:07Hill had the momentum and the 221 pounds
26:09was bringing it.
26:112nd and 7th. Breeze
26:13as he gets it complete for another
26:15first down that goes to Ted Ginn
26:17for 10 yards.
26:21Here on the first down.
26:23Breeze with time and now he's
26:25in rhythm. There is Ginn again.
26:27And this is what you see with Breeze.
26:2919th season.
26:37He's fanning. It's a pass. He's talking about
26:39the protection here.
26:41Here comes pressure from the safety as Reed
26:43comes up and Breeze quickly
26:45gets it to the outside to Thomas.
26:47How easy did Tom make it look
26:49last night up in Foxboro?
26:51Camara
26:53hesitating, probing,
26:55finding, and then
26:57going forward.
27:03Breeze that time
27:05felt Andrew Blackson coming
27:07in on him.
27:13On the run. Quarterback sweep.
27:15And once again
27:17able to keep his footing when a
27:19defensive back comes up and get extra
27:21yards. That time it was Justin Reed that
27:23found out how powerful Taysom Hill is.
27:25Where's J.J. Watt? We haven't seen
27:27him tonight. Can he get a pressure?
27:29Breeze with time to the end zone
27:31and into the hands
27:33of Taysom Hill.
27:39Drew Breeze looking.
27:41He's just reading through it.
27:43Hill and Thomas on the same
27:45side. They run a little cross action.
27:47Almost looks like a pick.
27:49He faced a pick.
27:51Like a little pick and roll in basketball there, Tess.
27:53Got ourselves
27:55a game here, don't we?
27:57Took a while.
28:01During the try,
28:03personal foul, defense
28:05number 97.
28:07New Orleans is elected to take that
28:0915-yard penalty on the kickoff.
28:11Timeout.
28:13Famous for the onside kick in the Super Bowl
28:15is out there trying to
28:17pin them here on the kickoff from the
28:1950 and Carter
28:21is only able to get out to the 16th.
28:23That is exceptional
28:25awareness by the special teams
28:27unit. Yards with touchdown
28:29drives tonight. Here's Watson
28:31man in his face and
28:33incomplete as he
28:35was trying to get it.
28:41Duke Johnson
28:43Johnson is wrapped up that
28:45time.
28:49Right on him as Hopkins
28:51comes inside that
28:5320. Look at
28:55the time he has and he wants every
28:57bit of it and it is
28:59intercepted.
29:01That is Marcus
29:03Williams with the pick and then something
29:05extra with the
29:07throw down and the flag
29:09rains in because of it.
29:13Joe, you're exactly correct.
29:15Interception, then a tackle
29:17but the tackle
29:19over slams Marcus Williams.
29:21It's an interception by the defense.
29:23On the play
29:25we have a UNR
29:27unnecessary roughness.
29:29Offense number 10.
29:31That 15-yard penalty will be enforced
29:33in the end of the run. Automatic
29:35pushdown. Timeout.
29:37I think Hopkins
29:39was watching a little too much Khabib
29:41on ESPN+.
29:45Breeze.
29:47As he's wanted to do
29:49get it out quickly to the outside
29:51to Thomas. We've already put you to work
29:53there, John Perry, haven't we? Fresh off your
29:55Super Bowl assignment and now up in the booth
29:57on Monday Night Football. Had a lot to talk
29:59about tonight.
30:01And here's Camara as
30:03he gets loose and Camara
30:05still fighting. Bull
30:07is out there as it's picked
30:09up by Cook.
30:11As we'll see what they say here
30:13at the end of that Camara run.
30:15The ruling on the field is a fumble by
30:17the offense. Recovered by another
30:19offensive player legally. First down.
30:21All works out for the Saints nonetheless.
30:23Unger having retired.
30:25The center who Breeze had so much
30:27trust in.
30:33And Josh Hill
30:35is net. Tried to make
30:37the most of it but wrestled down by Justin
30:39Reed. Second half of course
30:41he's a go-to guy in the red zone
30:43for Drew Breeze as well.
30:45Second and 12.
30:47Breeze trying to extend
30:49right to the end zone. He goes
30:51and it goes for a score.
30:53Traequan Smith.
30:57Drew Breeze has been waiting on
30:59man to man all night long. He finally gets it.
31:01Traequan Smith
31:03against number 22 Aaron Colvin. He loses him
31:05the nickel back and
31:07Breeze extends the play. We think
31:09about Watson outside the pocket. Drew Breeze
31:11says hey don't forget about me.
31:13I can make plays outside the pocket
31:15myself. And Traequan Smith
31:17took advantage.
31:19And just like that.
31:21And now he feels like he has a better
31:23understanding. You saw it on that play as he was
31:25really one with Breeze
31:27who was extending things there.
31:29Tap pass
31:35to Stills. They ran this earlier
31:37for a first down. This time
31:39it's a tackle for Walsh as
31:41Marshawn Lattimore was right
31:43on it. Empty look
31:45for Watson.
31:49Watson
31:51patiently taking his time
31:53and then breaking free
31:55there as a flag is down was Jordan
31:57Akins.
31:59Holding. Defense.
32:01Number 56.
32:03That penalty is declined.
32:05Result of the play. First down.
32:09Pressure off the edge.
32:11They run against it and
32:13Hyde gets free.
32:15Hopkins out in front paving
32:17the way as it was a good one
32:19call being down for the first time tonight.
32:21Pressure off the edge
32:23this time.
32:27Unable to pick up
32:29the second guy coming and that was
32:31Anzalone.
32:3316.
32:35Quickly to Carter.
32:37Nothing at all.
32:39This Saints front is
32:41very active and charged up
32:43right now as Vaughn Bell came up
32:45from that safety position as well.
32:47Watson and the Texans.
32:49Third and 17.
32:53Watson
32:55flag is down as he
32:57was trying to make anything of it
32:59and eventually Trey Hendrickson
33:01is the one who came up with him.
33:03Holding.
33:05Offense. Number 76.
33:07That penalty is declined.
33:09Fourth down.
33:11On to punt the Texans.
33:17Flag is down.
33:21He feels the ball inside
33:23the five.
33:2554 yard punt.
33:27Illegal formation
33:29on the punting team.
33:31The player did not get inside the numbers.
33:33New Orleans is elected
33:35to accept that five yard penalty from the previous
33:37spot and re-kick
33:39fourth down. Substitution and he
33:41doesn't get inside the numbers is what
33:43they have called. The NCAA All
33:45Division record holder for returns.
33:4714 in his career.
33:49As now
33:51he calls for a scatter poison
33:53as he takes an awkward bounce at the
33:5520 back towards the Texans side.
33:57It's always critical. The Saints picked up
33:5925 yards with that penalty
34:01and then the re-punt.
34:05Brees steps up
34:07in the pocket and
34:09look at Camara
34:11trying to get to it. Boy that would have been
34:13something if he could have hit him
34:15in stride. Holding.
34:17Offense. Number
34:1971. 10 yard penalty.
34:21First down. But instead
34:23they're going to tag Ryan Ramchick.
34:27There's a delay
34:29here as Camara
34:31able to cut back in.
34:33There's that balance we talk about
34:35as he's still going out
34:37past the 45 yard
34:39line. My oh my.
34:41He sees something. It's a long yardage situation.
34:43This is simple nickel 40. It's a draw
34:45play. He's got offensive linemen
34:47Ryan Ramchick, the right tackle leading him.
34:49But look at the contact balance.
34:51Look how balanced he is. Not only
34:53does he have the vision
34:55and the elusiveness, but just look how
34:57he bounces off of contact and
34:59gets back in balance.
35:01That's God given ability there
35:03in the NFL.
35:05And now Murray gets
35:07his turn and he is wrestled down
35:09by Carlos Watkins.
35:11He's in Baltimore.
35:137-11.
35:15Brees taken
35:17down. It's
35:193rd and 19 and Brees has not attempted
35:21to throw 20 yards downfield tonight.
35:23And it won't happen here as
35:25Camara gets the handoff on
35:273rd and 19.
35:29Hunting Guru Disciple was
35:31third highest average career average
35:33in NFL history.
35:35As he looks
35:37to pin it here and what
35:39an effort by
35:41Bearstack.
35:43He's going to be better. So is the guy next to him
35:45Bradley Chubb going to be better also.
35:47Duke Johnson as he is
35:49wrestled down.
35:51Down 3.
35:532nd and 6 from his own goal line.
35:55Ball is to the
35:57outside of Hopkins.
35:59Incomplete and it's going to be a big 3rd down.
36:01And a man across the board and they're going to try
36:03to heat Watson up.
36:07Watson and they come in
36:09as the flag is down before the snap.
36:19Watson from his own end zone.
36:23Steps up, drives the ball
36:25and what an absolute incredible
36:27effort from Hopkins.
36:35Here's Johnson
36:37able to bounce it to the outside.
36:39A stiff arm and something extra.
36:41Duke Johnson
36:43and all of a sudden
36:45the Texans are out past
36:47midfield.
36:51They are back and forth.
36:53Watson, Brees, Hopkins.
36:55Here they go for more.
36:57Taking down that time.
36:5911.
37:05Nothing happening.
37:09A wall of gold and black let off by
37:11Cameron Jordan.
37:133rd and 11.
37:15Under 4 and a half minutes to play.
37:17Trailing by 3.
37:19Gobbled up.
37:21Taken down.
37:23Trey Hendrickson.
37:256 sacks tonight for the Saints.
37:29Very big
37:31defensive play there.
37:33On that 3rd and 11
37:35as Daniel punts away.
37:37Harris calls for the fair catch
37:39and then decides.
37:41Invalid fair catch signal.
37:43Number 11 of the receiving team.
37:45That penalty will be enforced
37:475 yards from the spot of the foul.
37:49New Orleans keeps the ball.
37:51First down.
37:53Want to run some clock. Heavy run formation.
37:55Let's see what the Saints do and try to milk this clock.
37:57Another go-I formation with Pamara behind line.
37:59And he gets to the outside.
38:01And then he is
38:03tripped up by Bradley Roby.
38:05Aim right now. See if they go play action.
38:072nd and 8.
38:09Sprint right. Brees.
38:11And he gets a complete to Thomas
38:13who makes his way close to the
38:1515 yard line. Joseph with the tackle.
38:21Brees trekking.
38:23Play clock down to 1.
38:27Brees.
38:29On 3rd and 2 goes deep.
38:31And he connects with Ted
38:33Ginn. What a way to do it.
38:3740 yards
38:39on 3rd and 2 at the 2 minute
38:41warning. Get this 2nd
38:43chance here. Right now
38:45there is Pamara going loose
38:47and it's another first down for the Saints.
38:49Murray's in the backfield.
38:51Should be hammer time here Ted.
38:53And that is what he
38:55offers as Murray
38:57gets that cutback. That
38:59paddle leverage. You know there is that overheard narrative
39:01so that was an opportunity
39:03that could have been more for the Saints there
39:05at the first half. Pamara trying to get to the outside.
39:07Instead he is taken down
39:09by Cunningham. Do the Saints get
39:11or do they keep the clock running with a run play here?
39:133rd down and 11. And that
39:15is what they will do as
39:17Pamara is taken down
39:19at the 29.
39:25And Lutz
39:27splits it.
39:29So that was well managed.
39:31So it will be 50 seconds
39:33no timeouts trailing by
39:356 for Deshaun Watson.
39:37Not giving up the big play.
39:45On coverage I think.
39:47Making for the ball in front of you.
39:51Goes downfield.
39:53And he connects.
39:55DeAndre Hopkins
39:57has the Texans in business.
39:59Just like that.
40:01Watson to Hopkins.
40:03What a catch.
40:05You know we gave him a lot of criticism early because 3 balls
40:07hit his hands and he dropped them.
40:09But what about the catch right there against
40:11Lattimore. They have been going back and forth
40:13all night long. 38 yard
40:15reception by Hopkins.
40:17No timeouts. 43 seconds remain.
40:20Here comes pressure
40:22off the edge. It's Von Bell. He gets rid of it.
40:24He did it. He did it.
40:26He did it. Kenny
40:28steals. Welcome to the
40:30Texans. What drama
40:32in New Orleans. Deshaun
40:34Watson.
40:36Deshaun Watson in the pocket.
40:38Pay attention to him. He sees
40:40blitz. He moves a little bit to the right.
40:42And then he throws a dime
40:44right there to steal.
40:46Unbelievable pocket
40:48presence. And again
40:50look who the Houston Texans
40:52attacked.
40:58It is
41:00no good.
41:02Kaimi Fairbairn
41:04just missed the extra
41:06point. A flag is down.
41:10Personal foul.
41:12Roughing a kicker.
41:14Defense number 22.
41:16Replay.
41:18Instead
41:20now this.
41:26And a one point lead
41:28for the Texans because of that.
41:30The touchdown pass to
41:32Stills. Look at where it
41:34leads us.
41:38Start to the
41:4050th season of Monday Night Football.
41:42This game has had absolutely
41:44nothing. And now how will
41:46Breeze cap it? Here he
41:48goes again. The entire
41:50field open. He should clock it right now.
41:52And he does clock it with
41:5420 seconds remaining.
41:58Here we go.
42:00Breeze to the outside.
42:02Midfield here. Remember they had the one time
42:04out.
42:06Clock is coming down. And he
42:08clocks it again leading six
42:10seconds. He's
42:12in a Breeze season.
42:14Here we go. Clock
42:16coming down. Drives it over the middle.
42:18They do have the time out and he gets it to the
42:2040-10 game.
42:22Surgical by Breeze.
42:24Absolutely surgical.
42:3058 yard attempt for the
42:32win!
42:34Got it!
42:42Applause
42:48Applause
42:54Applause
