00:09:33
And they see No, they've gone to commercial break.

00:10:38
We're just waiting to see what happens.
00:10:39

00:11:07
12 12 left in the game.
00:11:12
So not smart by indie.
00:11:18
We will be breaking down and going through this game here in a minute, talking about this Sunday Night football game between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:11:25
But I want to just break down how these final games were finishing as we always do here.
00:11:33
Andy Dalton had just converted a big first down to, um, Ari Cooper brings it down to the Minnesota 14 yard line.
00:11:44
And now Dallas, who's trailing 2024? We were at the two minute warning, so they're coming out of the two minute warning here.
00:11:50
Marty Cooper is on the field in the red zone.
00:11:54
We're at the 18 yard line, an adult in the shotgun.
00:11:57
He takes the snap.
00:11:59
It's caught by Ezekiel Elliott.
00:12:04
That's gonna bring up second down, second and five on the play, and I mean, Minnesota needs to make a stop here, getting a lot of questions here about the New England Patriots.
00:12:19

00:12:21
I will be covering the Patriots game later on on D.
00:12:24

00:12:27
Second of 51 56 left in the game.
00:12:29
Time stopped Andy Dalton in the shotgun, trailing by four behind Minnesota.
00:12:38
Figs, the handoff catch made picks up the first down.
00:12:41
He's gonna keep driving force about the four yard line.
00:12:49
And I was Schultz who made the catch, came across, made the catch, held onto the ball.
00:12:56
They were punching, punching, punching at the ball he holds onto.
00:12:59
It falls down about the four yard line.
00:13:01
The Vikings now take a time out as we get to about one minute and 50 seconds left in the game.
00:13:06
It's first and goal for Dallas, and as we're in that time out, I'm just going to switch over to the Green Bay indie game to see what's happening over there.
00:13:17
And just as we come over, there's a flag on the play, so we'll go back over to Dallas and Minnesota.
00:13:25
And here comes Andy Dalton.
00:13:27
Tzekel Elliott, lined up to his left, is they line up in the shotgun there at the four yard line of Minnesota first and goal, 1 50 left in the game.
00:13:35
Andy calling out directions and he takes the snap.
00:13:37
He's looking in the end zone.
00:13:39
He throws it and it's almost intercepted right at the goal line.
00:13:43
A bad throw and bad decision by Andy Dalton goes unpunished, and Dallas is lucky not to see that ball picked off.
00:13:52
He was trying to get his receiver over the top, threw it behind him.
00:13:57
He came across nobody bit.
00:14:00
Andy, Mrs, um, A little bit of a bump as he tried to come across.
00:14:05
It could have been a pass interference, and he knows how lucky he is.
00:14:10
Second in goal here, the two and seven Cowboys got the four and five Vikings.
00:14:15
Andy Dalton in the pistol.
00:14:16
He's gonna hand it off to Ezekiel out.
00:14:18
He's gonna bring it up the middle.
00:14:19
He's gonna go down.
00:14:22
That's gonna bring up third and goal from both the two yard line.
00:14:28
Dallas trailing Minnesota 28 to 24 1 43 left in the game.
00:14:34
Minnesota takes another time out as they want an opportunity.
00:14:39
If Dallas can score a touchdown here to go down the field and perhaps score a field goal or a touchdown, It will be a field goal to tie a touchdown toe win.
00:14:49
We could see our second game goto overtime today as we're in this commercial time out, I do want to remind everybody but what's happened elsewhere today, Washington defeated Cincinnati 22 90 Dallas is back.
00:15:06
On the field now is Ego Elliott behind Andy Dalton, Dalton in the pistol, A man in motion for Dallas fixed a handoff to Zeke over the middle, touchdown Dallas And that Schultz, who pulls it in and on third and goal with a minute 37 left in the game.
00:15:28

00:15:35
That puts up Dallas up 30 to 28 prior to the extra point.
00:15:42
Dallas able to come all the way back, but Minnesota still has an opportunity to try to get out there and take this game back in their possession again.
00:15:52
At the very least, kick a field goal.
00:15:56

00:17:52
Dallas comes back and he picks up the first down with a minute 55 left in the game.
00:18:03
Packers have used their first time out.
00:18:07
You can stop the clock two more times, as I said in the already in field goal range.
00:18:15
So they're gonna put Indianapolis in a position where they're gonna have to go.
00:18:21
We're gonna put Green Bay in a position where they're gonna have to.
00:18:23
If they kick the field goal will have to get a touchdown in a good run.
00:18:31

Green Bay takes their second time out of the game or the half.
00:18:42
Philip Rivers all smiles flag on the play.
00:18:47
It's on the Colts, which means Green Bay doesn't have to use their time out.
00:18:52
That will stop the clock.
00:19:01
That's going to set up a first in 20 for Indianapolis.
00:19:07

00:19:56
Good No call by the referee.
00:20:01
Well, the defender had his arms around his waist a little bit around.
00:20:04
