EACH TEAM DOWN THE FIELD. APPLAUDED BY AARON RODGERS. 21 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN. ANOTHER MAN-TO-MAN BEATER. LOOK AT THE OFFENSIVE LINE. THIS IS A TOUGH THING TO DO AGAINST THAT GROUP. WE TALKED ABOUT BREECE HALL AND WHAT YOU CAN DO OUT OF THE BACKFIELD. NICE, SOFT HANDS. WHEN HE GETS OUT IN SPACE, HE BOUNCES OFF THOSE WOULD BE TACKLERS. WHAT AN ANSWER BY NATHANIEL MAKES A PLAY TO DISRUPT THINGS.

INTO THE END ZONE, KAREEM HUNT! HIS NINTH RUSHING TOUCHDOWN OF THE SEASON. KIRK: I DON’T KNOW IF THE WATCH THIS BLOCK BY 75. IT WAS A QUICK HITTER. THAT BLOCK OPENED THAT UP AND GOT HUNT DOWN HILL FOR THE SO SOME OF THE GUYS GETTING THEIR CLEATS CHANGED. THIS KICK IS FIELDED AT THE 3 YARD LINE. HE LOSES IT! THE BROWNS ARE TJERE. THE BROWNS THINK THEY HAVE IT AND THEY DO! MIKE FORD JR. COMES AWAY WITH RESULTING IN TOUCHDOWNS. NOW FROM THE 12. FLACCO, PLAY FAKE, FIRES, CAUGHT AT THE FIVE AND THEN GETTING TACKLED.

CEDRIC TILLMAN MAKES THAT GRAB, ROOKIE OUT OF TENNESSEE. KIRK: THEY MIGHT GET THE BIG BALTIMORE. STUFFED IN THE BACKFIELD, KAREEM HUNT. QUINNEN WILLIAMS, NUMBER 95, GOT THEY COME OUT IN FIVE WIDE. HUNT TO THE OUTSIDE. FLACCO THROWS AND THAT IS INCOMPLETE. . , INTENDED FOR TILLMAN D.J. REED VETERAN QUARTERBACK IS. NOT AFRAID TO STATE HIS CASE. A BIG STOP BY THE JETS. AL: THEY HAD A FOURTH AND 4 AND THEY GO FOR IT. A NICE RUN, POWERING HIS WAY FOR FIRES, PICKED OFF AT THE 30 YARD LINE! ALL THE WAY, TOUCHDOWN! THE OHIO STATE ROOKIE

WITH THE PICK AND THE SCORE. THE JETS ARE TRYING TO GET HIM THE FOOTBALL. HE NEEDS TO READ THE EYES OF THE QUARTERBACK. A REALLY GOOD JOB OF USING HIS INSTINCTS. THE THING THAT REALLY IMPRESSES ME IS WHEN THE BOAT WAS INTERCEPTED, THE EFFORT TO TAKE INTO THE END ZONE. BANGING THE DRUMS, CROWD — THROWN UNDERNEATH, CAUGHT BY BREECE HALL. TO THE OUTSIDE. GETS UP TO THE 43 YARD LINE. IT WILL BE FOURTH DOWN. RONNIE HICKMAN HAD THE PICK SIX, HE MAKES THE TACKLE. PLAYING TONIGHT. AL: 20 CATCHES, 25 OR MORE YARDS. FORD ESCAPES A

TACKLE AND PICKS UP THE FIRST DOWN. GETS TO THE 35 YARD LINE TO AL: FIRST AND 5. ROLLS, THROWS, CAUGHT, AND NJOKU , THERE HE GOES AGAIN! HE LOSES THE BALL AT THE 40 YARD LINE. SCRAMBLED FOR IT AND THE JETS THINK THEY HAVE IT. THEY DO. KIRK: C.J. MOSLEY KNOCKED THAT BALL OUT. I THINK HE IS TIRED OF SEEING 85 RUN ALL OVER THE FIELD. TO THE OUTSIDE GOES THE PASS. ANTI-CANNOT GET AWAY. GARRETT — AND HE CANNOT GET AWAY. AL: THIRD DOWN AND 3 NOW. FLACCO THROWING INTO TRAFFIC. THEY GET A LUCKY BREAK.

MOORE MAKES THAT CATCH AFTER CARTER ALMOST HAD THE INTERCEPTION! FROM THE 48. OPEN, CUT. TO THE 20 YARD LINE GOES JORDYN NECKER 10. AROUND THEM. AL: FLACCO ON THIRD AND GOAL. THROWING! CAUGHT! ELIJAH MOORE FOR THE SCORE! SOM BECOMES THE — SO MOORE KIRK: AND HERE HE IS, MAXED UP ONE-ON-ONE. WATCH FLACCO WORK TO THE LEFT AND KIND OF FALLS OFF OF THAT THROW. GETS IT OUT EARLY ENOUGH TO GIVE MOORE ENOUGH ROOM TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOWARDS THAT LEFT BOUNDARY. GREAT JOB OF SETTING UP REED WHO IS VERY TWITCHY. VERY ATHLETIC CORNER, BUT

THE ROUTE THAT TIME BY MOORE AND A YOU. THIS GUY IS AS GOOD AS I HAVE SEEN. AL: MEANWHILE, SIEMIAN GETS SACKED, BACK AT THE 18 YARD LINE. KIRK: YOU KNOW WHO. AL: GARRETT IS RIGHT THERE. TRASHCAN. I THINK THE ASTROS MIGHT BE IN TOWN. SORRY. BACK TO THE 34 YARD LINE. GIBSON TAKES IT THERE SHORT OF BUT DRIVE. FLACCO GOING TO WORK. THROWING. OPEN MAN AT THE 18 YARD LINE. ABOUT A SEVEN OR EIGHT YARD PICKUP BY HARRISON BRYANT. YOU THINK THE JETS HAVE BEEN IN TROUBLE OFFENSIVELY AGAINST US BROWNS DEFENSE AND MAYBE WOULD

BE A LOW-SCORING GAME. AL: PLAY, LITTLE FLIP, AND IT IS PICKED OFF! THAT IS JERMAINE JOHNSON TAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END ZONE! SO IN DIRE NEED OF SOMETHING GREAT TO HAPPEN, THE JETS GET JUST THAT. JUST BEFORE THE TWO MINUTE COME DOWN. HE KNOCKED THAT BALL INTO THE AIR. WHAT AN ATHLETIC PLAY BY JERMAINE JOHNSON AT 6’5″, 265 POUNDS, AND IN THE SPEED TO RUN AWAY FROM NJOKU. JUST WHEN WE START CELEBRATING AL: 31. KIRK: HE ONLY PLAYED FOR NINE TEAMS. AL: 100. SECOND DOWN AND 7. THE THROW IS CAUGHT. MOORE! THE

LAST FEW MINUTES HE HAS HAD MARQUISE GOODWIN COMES IN. AND FLACCO ALMOST GETS SACKED. THERE HE GOES, THROWS ON THE RUN! CAUGHT INSIDE THE 30, INSIDE THE 20 GOES JEROME FORD! STILL ON HIS FEET, FORD LOOKING FOR THE END ZONE. GETS THERE! JOE FLACCO SOMEHOW ESCAPED, GETS TAKE THIS HIT RIGHT THERE. THAT IS QUENTIN WILLIAMS, HE SHAKES THAT OFF, AND NOW INSTEAD OF RUNNING, HE KEEPS HIS EYES DOWNFIELD AND SEES THAT FORD IS ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM WILLIAMS AND TAKES IT TO THE END ZONE. THEY HAD THEIR BACKS TURNED, BUT WHAT AN EFFORT BY

FORD TO FIGHT TO GET IT INTO THE END ZONE. AL: KIRK: FLACCO IS HAVING THE TIME FURTHER 31, SIEMIAN THROWS, CAUGHT AT THE 40 YARD LINE. GARRETT WILSON MIXED THE CATCH AND IS RIDDEN LIKE THERE BY SIEMIAN KEEPS HIS EYES DOWNFIELD, AND THAT IS THE GRAB 200 625 POUNDS. — 265 POUNDS. AL: ALLOWED 11 SACKS, 14 PENALTIES. GIBSON MAKES THE GRAB HERE ACROSS THE FIELD, INSIDE THE 30 2018 SEASON PER TRIES TO PUT THIS ON AWAY FROM 46 YARDS — SEASON. TRIES TO PUT THIS ON AWAY FROM 46 YARDS. AND HE DOES. SO THAT WILL

IN THE MATTER OF SPEAKING, NO MATH MAJOR, BUT I FIRED OVER THE MIDDLE, MAKING A CATCH AT THE 10-YARD LINE JASON BROWNLEE. HE WILL SET UP FIRST DOWN AND AL: THIRD AND GOAL. SAMMY AND FIRES. KNOCKED DOWN AT THE GOAL LINE HURDLES AND LOOK LIKE HE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE TO PULL IT IN. THORNHILL COVERING ON THE PLAY. HIS 12TH SEASON IN THE LEAGUE. THOMAS MORSTEAD THE HOLD. BLOCKED. THE JETS COME AWAY WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ON A KICK THAT WOULD’VE MADE IT THEY KEEP FINDING WAYS TO WIN GAMES. THEN FLACCO COMES OVER AND GIVES THEM

A HUGE SPARK. AL: THE WHISTLE HAD BLOWN. PULLED DOWN BY CONTACT FOR A SOMETHING THAT GETS THEM TO SCORING TERRITORY. SIEMIAN STARTS TO TAKE OFF AND GET STRIPPED FROM BEHIND BY ALEX WRIGHT. THAT WILL MAKE IT FOURTH DOWN. HERE IS A 44-YARD ATTEMPT BY ZUERLEIN, WHOSE LAST KICK WAS BLOCKED AFTER HE TOOK A DIVOT ON THE KICK. THIS ONE IS GOOD. THE JETS TRY TO TURN IT INTO A TWO-POSSESSION DEFICIT. 34-20. FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD. CAUGHT. THAT’S GOING TO TAKE US TO TRIPLE ZEROES AND TAKE THE BROWNS TO THE PLAYOFFS.
