Jamar Jefferson Jefferson cuts to the left and will pick up about three yards to the 48 yd line oh that flying 50 that's 23 and me andon Roberts came shooting up the B Gap almost had a a head- on collision with the back he almost took the hand off but then at least he averted disaster with that and uh you know uh the ball Carri just had a minimal gain but man I thought it was going to be a big hit there Jefferson is the lone sets left to right now he'll wander back to the left again trips to that left side of the formation for hooker on a third and 10 back to pass looking will throw underneath and behind his intended receiver Donovan's PE Jones as montravius Adams had pressure up the middle and Detroit a very quick three and out not only did montravius Adams have pressure up the middle but that guy again Nick hering coming off this time the defensive right side against the offensive left tackle came within a whisker of another strip sack I'm telling you this kid is playing lights out Jack Fox excellent punter for the Lions is standing at his own 31 yd line with the ball marked at the 45 in the right hash John rice plumbley back deep to receive for the Steelers here's a snap and it's an end overend kick rice plumbley will take it at his nine he will head to his left and now up the middle of the field where he is bashed at the 18 yd line driven backwards but a return

game here in the steel city well but first Jim let's take a minute to talk about the other Powerhouse in Town been the best for 47 years straight got the grit and strength to take on anything yes sir it's the Ford F series they are the best selling trucks in Pittsburgh and in America the best now how about that young Duo on offense now that could be a Powerhouse in the future F150 the official truck of the Pittsburgh Steelers Steelers football happens here the Pittsburgh Steelers audio Network at Ford Field 435 remaining in the first quart quar Steelers getting set for their third possession already up 14 to nothing as we go down to the sidelines and Max stks well evidently uh having some technical difficulties so we'll get to Max in a moment I didn't mean to press that button sorry Max are you there yes I am here sorry I dropped some papers and I was being a Good Samaritan um no this offense has looked great you're talking about two drives two starts s into the end zone great start for this squad I can't wait to see what they continue to do and of course Nick hering looking awesome so far back to you thanks very much eye formation ball on the left hash 18 yd line for the Steelers they give to Aaron shamlin and shamlin is hit after he gets out to about the 19 yd line a pick up of a yard and it'll be a second and nine for the Steelers all right things are settling down a little bit maybe you come out here you just hand off got the shamlin in there doing what he's been doing back there but wasn't much be gained on that play there linebackers filled their gaps now fields in the pistol formation will move Champlin to his right so called a shotgun formation now two receivers to his left two receivers to his right field Stomps the foot Spencer Anderson looking behind him to figure out what's going on and now the hand off to champin on the delay tries the left side and H champin will get out to about the 24 yd line so a pick up of five on that second down run got a little draw action and B opened up immediately over the left side there in Champlin using good Vision just went right after it nice job by Dan Moore kicking his man up the field and you got Spencer Anderson Mr Anderson if you will uh locking down the inside guy so it was a pretty good Gainer there third down ball to left hash 24 yd line of the Steelers 320 and Counting left in the first quarter Fields has three receivers to his right once again Spencer Anderson looking at and the ball was snapped back to field wasn't ready Zone 29 Williams makes one man miss will head out to the left now Cuts back and gets out to the 45 yd line perhaps the 46 very good return for now let's see what the flag's going to [Applause] be during the kick holding receiving team number 40 10yd penalty first down so that that will negate what had been a good return by Isaiah Williams here are the latest NFL scores brought to you by clear viiew Federal Credit Union your financial partner for Life clearviewfcu.org Carolina leading Buffalo 7 to3 in the second quarter of that game being played in Buffalo Baltimore at Green Bay the Packers up three to nothing in the second Houston and the Rams tied at 3-3 in the 1 and Minnesota at Philadelphia leading 10 nothing that game is in the second quarter well they tried Scotty Miller as a gunner there and Scotty over ran the reception point for the punt returner unfortunately Steels are still in search of the Gunners right and that's an important part of what's going on here because they lost some good Gunners U you know boyin obviously was a guy they're going to have to replace some guys here well if this is a very important part again we talk about roster battles that's part of it it's huge this is one of the big games that qualifies a guy four special teams uh there's been a number of guys over the years Patrick Bailey comes to mind they came down to know special teams play in the last preseason game ball on the left hatch at the 20 yd line trips to the right hooker still in the game in the shotgun hooker back will look will throw out to his right oh just a massive bodies out there Cory tce came flying up and tackled zra for a gain of about a yard boy that was a dangerous throw by hooker it was indeed but it was a great play by Cory tce who beat the wide receiver trying to block him to make the mono imano tackle on the receiver boy I tell you what that takes a lot you've got to know you know you're in man you got to know somebody's coming to kick you out you got to beat that man and he did hooker under Center here with the ball at the 21 yd line on the right hash we'll turn we'll give to Jamar Jefferson and hitting the backfield by a Landon Roberts is able to step through that and get out to about the 25 yd line boy Landon Roberts like he's been shot out of a cannon a couple times yes unfortunately he's not put the guy in the dirt either time but that's what I love about him this guy is a All or Nothing downhill Banger he is one of those guys that is going to give you a headache if you're trying to block him the entire game because this guy got no backup in him he is coming down here'll put a hit on you second and five or third and five I beg your pardon as hooker is back in the shotgun the lions are one for three on third down hooker looking out to his right now he's going to keep and hooker will cross the 30 and pick up that first down yardage as he gets out to the 34 yd line before Marcus Robinson can hit him and drive him down well the Steelers over loaded the left side of the Lions and they had a good pass rush and you had Kiren Johnson coming through on a Twist stunt and you hooker was able to avoid that and run to the weak side and be able to pick up enough of that yardage for the first down Thomas Graham also went in the stop for the Steelers so a first down ball at the 34 yd line on the right hash for hooker who's under Center has two receivers to his left one to his right hooker will play action pass and look out to his left under duress and he is going to be driven down it was the third wave that got to him Julius wela picked up the sack but he was the third guy in there exactly it was Isaiah louder milk Broke Free beat his man at the line of scrimmage all 67 300 lb of Isaiah he leaped in the air and made hooker pull the ball down and that's what led to the sack so 14 nothing Steelers time to make the switch to the second quarter brought to you by Northwest Bank score rates up to 4.5% apy on new certific gets to deposit member FDIC Northwest Bank for

quarter the Steelers leading 14 to nothing allons have the ball with the second and 17 at their own 27 yd line you know the thing that you about that first quarter it was all battle in the trenches and I mean this is what you're talking about when you talk about having a dominate uh offensive line defensive line you win in the battle of the trenches and everything follows so hooker will be in the shotgun with Jefferson the running back to his left three receivers to the right of the formation one to the left hooker will look to the right will fire in that direction incomplete it was intended for Donovan peoples Jones from Cleveland huh Donovan peoples Jones y yeah moving over here to Detroit a little slant route there they weren't able to complete the pass yeah Damonte KZ closing fast so that'll bring up a third and 17 that's what you always find out with Damonte KY he's closing fast usually ends up with a big bang too so hooker remains in the shotgun has trips to his right running back Jefferson to his left one receiver split to his left hooker back we'll look over the middle of the field under some pressure now he going to run and he's going to be taken down at the 33 yd line just a short gain there cam Sutton in the stop with Mark Robinson and the lions will be forced to punt it away Mark Robinson another guy that you know is fighting for a job one of those guys that just you you you keep seeing these these explosions of of great athletic skill and top and everything else and then you know you kind of wonder where he is at you know how far he's developed he's certainly one of those guys that got a lot of bang in them so the ball spotted at the 33 yd line of the Lions and it is the fine punter Fox back to kick John rice plumbley back deep to receive for the Steelers and fox will bang one huge spiraling kick drives rice pumble back to his five where he'll take it starts to his left and it's going to be taken down as he gets to the 12 yd line so A beautiful banging kick by Fox and the Steelers will be pinned deep at their own 12 yland as we head downstairs again to Max Starks guys I think when we're thinking about this third preseason game we've seen everything we want to see happening so far for one quarter's worth of work we've seen the offense score look dominant offensively driving the ball putting the ball in the end zone we've also seen the defense taking the ball away sacking the quarterback adding pressure now let's see how it goes for this unit continuing what was started in the first quarter back to you guys thank you Max under Center Fields will go play action pass looking rolls and throws to his right or to his left I beg your pardon it's caught by Van Jefferson slammed down but he gets to the 24 and picks up a first down today's first half sideline reports are brought to you by bet MGM the king of sports books please gamble responsibly gambling problem call 18 00 Gambler nice job by Justin Fields a little roll out throwing it to Van Jefferson out there who looked like he was in a little bit of discomfort took a little pop in the back there yeah he got hit hard Ball's going to be marked at the 25 yd line on the left hash Michael perine is the lone setback behind Fields under Center Fields will turn and give to perine perine will cut back to the left looking to bounce outside he's going to get there stiff arms a man to the turf and gets out across the 35 to the 36 and 11 yard Gallop for perine on first down and it's another first down for the Steelers you know the one thing that we've seen about L Michel perine is the fact that he's very astute and using his vision to to trace his way into the defensive back field there I'm telling you he's seeing where the linebackers are plugging then he just follows his line blocking and F finds that nice weakness on the backside wow that's a nice job getting a first down peryan splits out left empty set for now but pery will be brought back in motion and remains an empty set as he settles in the left slot Fields Back in the shotgun looking throws over the middle of the field tight coverage and the ball is incomplete wow he's saying Bassie in coverage defensively for the Lions that's Scotty Miller now got intender for Miller yeah it was a good good throw into a very tight window Scotty had to go low and it he had a Defender right draped on his on his shoulder playing inside leverage on him and Scotty was not able to get that secondhand to catch and Corell that ball we'd probably call that good Steelers for the coverage and maybe close because it was the lions in coverage would have been a tough catch as to whether that was a little early there on yeah the part of eang Bassie trips to the right lone set back to the left gets the ball that is perine perine picking his way towards the middle of the field picks up a yard or two and then grabbed from behind and slung down after a two-yard gain well perine didn't have much to choose from that time all he saw was as he as he ran up to the trenches was the Keers side to side right in front of him so it's a third and eight the ball at the 38 yd line left t for the Steelers as they break the Huddle three receivers to the right and Fields in the shotgun will bring Hayward right to left and now he's going to settle back to the right Fields points to his left looking at a possible Blitz for the Lions gets the snap Lions bringing pressure fields under duress and Fields is down sacked back at the 27 yd line of the Steelers oh my you know you could see it coming up you got some youngsters in there Dey Hamilton the left tackle and at left guard you got Bon McCormick and and Hamilton got beat around the corner by his man but you can see so with some of the jockeying of positions up there the offensive line was trying to communicate even so almost right up to the snap count and left with they had a problem there obviously and of course Hamilton got beat steers have the ball at the 39 yd line as cam Johnson gets the punt and will hit a high end overend kick Isaiah Williams will take it back at his 20 yd line heads to the right makes a man miss gets to the 30 to the 35 is hit there and dropped by Deshawn Elliott but a nice return out to the 36 yd line of 16 yards for Isaiah Williams 11:04 remaining from Ford Field Steelers football continues with the score

yard line here at Ford Field of the Detroit Lions the Lions huddling up they have the ball down 14 to nothing with 11:04 remaining in the second the Steelers have had their way thus far early on henden hooker is under Center has a tight end to the right of the formation and a lone set back behind him actually now there's a another man in front of that lone setb back and it's uh going to be pitch to Jake to Funk funk's going to get out to about the 38 yd line so Jake Funk picks up about two on that first down run well you can start off with an eye formation then you got the fullback crabbin meaning he's going in in some sort of motion where stays Square to line scrimmage and then he's going straight up well montravius Adams just defeated the block at the point of attack and just swallowed up the back I mean that was a nice job by montravius Adams hooker two receivers to his left two to his right it's Isaiah Williams in motion across the formation left to right hooker roll out and throws underneath zra was wide open and he just missed him maybe Julius wellsh off affected that throw a little bit wolf perhaps maybe if he started yelling at him and germond confused him you know but certainly you know hooker overthrew his man out in the flat there and he wasn't a pretty simple throw really yeah that's that's and catch so that'll bring up a third and eight with the ball at the 38 yd line 1026 remaining it's spotted on the left hash here in the second quarter at Ford Field the lions are two for five on third down Donovan peoples Jones will motion to the left so trips to the left of the formation and the Lions now at Play looked out of sync from the get-go and they will use their first time out of the first half well certainly we've enjoyed what we've seen thus far especially from the first teamers Rob we saw a complete reversal from last week we saw you know the score and sit down type of Affair where you got the Steelers offense has rolled out done really well the defense did equally well turnover sacks touchdown runs time to throw the ball exactly what you want to see in your last preseason dress rehearsal and we're seeing a mixture now out there defensively for the Steelers of people that we expect to make the roster and people who are battling for roster spots and again maybe battling for position with on the roster absolutely within the roster every rep is important so hooker now on a third and eight in the shotgun and yep everybody moved except the ball wasn't snapped and so false start offense number 59 5yd penalty third down that was a egg woke in the center got up and was pointing oh wait a minute they moved uh oh yeah everybody moved except egg woken who didn't who didn't snap the ball oh so now a third and 13 back at the 33 yd line hooker in the shotgun gets the snap and hooker is down it's Julius wof again with a second sack back inside the 30 yd line wow nice run R nice attack by Julius wof to be able to come off the right side of the Detroit Lions offensive line get himself up the field a little twist come underneath and whammo I mean put the clamps on hooker the quarterback and put him in the in the dirt so to speak you said he might have been yelling something in German earlier that's a zv zv Sachs for Julius woff very good indeed and of course Julius is a international player that the Steelers have a roster exemption for the fox back deep to kick and this a low spiraling kick that will head out of bounds right around the 30 yd line of the Steelers with 937 remaining here in the second quarter and from four field see if this football continues with the score the Steelers 14 the Lions nothing sometimes even the toughest of us need a little TLC if you're a Steelers linebacker that might be a jump

the dve Morning Show bring you the best coverage all week that takes you to the next game on your Steelers Flagship WDVE Pittsburgh 937 remaining in the second quarter at Ford Field the Steelers leading 14 to nothing they have the ball at the 30 yd line marked at the right hat with Kyle Allen now in at the quarterback position Jonathan Ward is the lone setback motions Keta now will move back to a tail back uh pitch in here with a fullback in front that is KET the fullback and hand off to Ward on the right side and Ward will back forward and pick up about three yards on that first down run well indeed you got 21 Personnel you got a fullback High formation Hitting off the right side felt a little resistance there then you get you know you slide back to the cut back there and get what you can nice job by Jonathan Warden getting what he could and that was not quite a win you know that's three yards we need four Champlin is checked in he is the lone setback behind quarterback Allen who's under Center Lions to they very tightly bunched defensive formation up front play action pass Allen in trouble and Allen slung down back at the 25 yd line and that is James Houston who comes up with a sack for the Lions back at the 26 is where they're going to mark it well he got inside position on Spencer Anderson which you know you understand Spencer sometimes you're moving from one position to another's he could be playing anywhere from left guard to right tackle the left tackle to Right Guard to Center I mean you know and sometimes it you get caught in a position where it's a little bit difficult and that was one of them oh to right hash Allen in the shotgun back looking left going to throw underneath on a slant has his man and that is Scotty Miller but Miller is tackled immediately out at the 33 yd line and so the Steelers will be forced to punt it away with 810 remaining here in the second quarter well that was a good throw by Kyle Allen you know matter of fact that was a heck of a catch by Scotty Miller because you got a A early arriving defensive back shall we say who put a smack aration on Scotty Miller and Scotty managed to hang on to the ball that was a good catch on dur rest shall we say here's a snap back to Johnson and he will pound one that will send Williams back to his 14 yd line Williams will start to the left looking to get to the edge now Cuts back and gets to about the 27 yd line before he's brought down there by jeray Jenkins and Aaron champin from Ford Field Steelers football continues with a score the Steelers 14 and the Lions nothing for the

balanced budgets act paid for by one nation onenation am.org Steelers football happens here the Pittsburgh Steelers audio Network Midway through the second quarter Steelers leading the Lions 14 to nothing as we head downstairs to Max Starks all right guys a lot of flow now we're starting to get some EB in this game I'm not going to say it the other way around you guys know what I'm talking about but the Steelers offense clicking on the first two drives defense turning over the Detroit lons and not get allowing them to get over the 50 yard line now they've made a little bit more progress but you still seeing good solid play clean communication nobody's having a jailbreak and I think that's a positive when you're grading this game thus far back to you guys thank you Max ball at the left has 33 yd line it is Funk who is deep in the eye formation instead of play action pass flung out to the right and dropped dropped in the right flat by the tight end James Mitchell who was wide open the ball was right in the money and he just dropped it boy that was you couldn't ask for better pitch and catch opportunity than right there as hooker on a little reverse roll out found uh his man Mitchell out in the flat all by his lonesome and he just dropped it flat out dropped it hooker in the shotgun now Funk to his right two receivers to the right of his formation the wide receiver to his left with a tight end that way as well hooker back looking right now looking back over the Middle Field and he is complete this is Kaden Davis and Davis has it out to about the 37 yd line about a yard short of a first down well Steelers rushed off the right side I believe that was Cory T coming off the slot Kyle Allen was able to stay in there and complete his throw beat Steelers back on that Blitz when the blitz don't get there look out you know that's a problem so hooker in the shotgun and he has Funk to his right gets the snap will give to Funk Funk will look to move to his right and it's hit by jacobe windman in the back field and it looks like it's going to be just short of a first down nice job by jacobe winman firing through to hit funk in the backi oh you want to talk about a downhill blast I mean jacobe winman he comes in with that reputation from Michigan state of being a tackling machine and he demonstrates it right there you know his C do as Mike Tomlin likes to call it you see it then you do it well he dos it very well man he was downhill with a smack aration that had to uh register pretty good on on the Lions RoR scale well appeared to be a somewhat generous spot they've given him the first down trips to the left of the formation two receivers to the right empty set for hearnen ball on the right hash as hearnen gets a snap looks out to the right and intoe out of the hands of his intended receiver and that receiver was Donovan peoples Jones and the defensive back uh came flying up there that was Keandre Thomas who had interception pick six in mind oh man he jumped that route and I'm telling you what he almost had a pick six Keandre was just that close to doing another touchdown dance in the end zone there for the Steelers hooker in the shotgun has Funk to his left gets the snap will give to Funk off the right side Funk finds a little bit of a hole and then bust through that hole and gets out to about the 48 yd line looks like it's going to be a first down before KZ is able to come up and make the stop oh Damonte KZ had to come up make a hit from the safety position he got a good run somehow he slid in he got a hole there and was able to run run through a tackle or two until he got to Damonte KY who brought him down B on the right hash of the 48 yd line hooker under Center has Funk as alone setback Funk handoff moving right side and hit in the back field by Isaiah Loudermilk and swallowed into the ground now that's what we've been waiting to see from Isaiah Loudermilk haven't seen quite enough of it as we'd hoped for in the preseason but this is a young man with a lot of ability a lot of talent and right there it was on display quick swim over the backside guard split the the cut off Block in the backside able to get penetration and then come up and slam the back back into the ground that's a nice job Isaiah caught a loss of a yard second and 11 hooker gets the snap looking left will throw underneath has a man wide open and that is Isaiah Williams and Williams will get into Steeler's territory and down to the 36 yd line before he is finally taken down W that's an in route and there was blown assignment there somebody messed up cuz he was all by is Lonesome wide open running across the middle there even if it was Zone that's a big window in the middle of the field there hooker with the ball at the 36 yd line on the right hash has Funk behind him as the lone setback hooker play action pass looking under trouble and throws out to the right it's knocked down and that was Isaiah loudermill coming through on the right side unopposed once again forcing that throw to be hurried a little bit and Lowry knocked it down Dean Lowry veteran get those hands up you know when you realize okay I'm not getting any closer to the quarterback I see his eyes turning I get my hands up that's one of the skills that is taught continually to the defensive lineman you got to know when you're not getting a pass rush when you're if you're you know that quarterback he starts looking around when he looks your way man you got to get those hands up ball at the right hash Williams moves to the left and has trips that way hand off to Funk wide open huge huge hole off the left side and down to the 21 yd line of the Steelers oh wow they caught the Steelers coming with a with slant to one side they were able to wash people down and come back the other way with it and indeed that was a big hole there and I don't know which linebacker I think jacobe winman had a shot at him but wasn't able to bring him down that was a big play for the Detroit Lions B at the right hash 21 yd line of the Steelers hooker in the shotgun getting ready for the 10th play of the drive he has Funk to his right Steelers bringing pressure and Hern uh hooker able to avoid that pressure move out to the left finding some more room and lunging forward inside the five down to the 2yd line oh my somebody's going to have hooker nightmares tonight they had him dead to rights in the back field and they weren't able to bring him down couldn't squeeze the charman on it right up there and he did did some nice run and got around Thomas Graham and now hooker has the team already at the line of scrimmage will hand to Funk Funk bounces to the outside and he is not going to get to the corner as he is taken down and dropped back at the three yd line a loss perhaps of a half a yard or so Marcus Haynes was able to come up and make the stop for the Steelers one of the guys they just signed a couple of days ago right Marcus Haynes doing a nice job with the cut back cuz frankly he was the last man standing over there and if he hadn't brought him down that could have been been a tough one ball set at the right hash just outside the two yd line hooker has Funk to his right in the shotgun gets the snap looking out to the right looking and will throw to Funk who's wide open and Funk will score for the Lions as theyve scored for the first time here in this game to cut it to 14 to6 pending the outcome of the extra point well that was a simple out pattern and nobody went out with the the the receiver Punk on the on the out battern there my goodness just ran out there and I got a feeling I don't don't want to put any blame on anybody demarvin leel was end man on the line and then you had Mark Robinson was the linebacker in the area so between the two of them somebody had to have picked him up an impressive drive for the Lions and here now is Bates attempting to finish things off and bat's extra point attempt is up it is good and with two 2 33 remaining here from Ford Field the Pittsburgh Steelers lead has been cut in half it's now 14-7 wow that was a long drive that was a well put together Drive yeah 12 plays 72 yards took up 502 there's a big battle going on in Detroit now with hooker and Nate sudfeld as to who's going to be the backup quarterback hooker really didn't get anything going there until that last Drive didn't used his legs well too when it was called upon to scramble with the ball and the lions were obviously were able to run the ball well that one play that picked up a lot of yardage on the cut back by the back was really an outstanding play for them blocked very well washing down a lot of guys on the inside and there was nobody sitting in the hole on the back side so TJ Luther has gone back deep with John rice plumbley is this Ste there's running several guys through in the return roles and the Gunner rolls and various special team roles well we might be able to get a little two-minute action here here's bait to the boot and it is going to skip past Luther and it looks like it goes out of bounds does it yep flag goes up it'll be out of bounds and he was aiming for the corner there trying to again skip it through between the goal line and the 20 and maybe you can get it to roll free Kick Out of Bounds ball plac at the 40 ydd line first down so again dangerous there you're trying to skip it through and if it gets through the end zone it's marked at the 20 but if you fail it gets marked at the 40 well you're trying all kinds of stuff now they're trying to see what works effectively for them with a high percentage and if you have a kicker who has a high percentage ability of being able to do that that would be great but if you miss you're out to the 40 already which the Steelers are and two-minute offense this is good stuff exactly Kyle Allen in the quarterback position as dejon Edwards who moves right to left trips to the left of the formation and a quick throw out to that left side it's Scotty Miller Miller spins through one tackle the 40 and gets out of bounds gets an extra shove out there along the far Sid line as well and it'll be marked at about the 42 yd line so give him about a two- yd gain well it's a wide receiver screen out to the flat he gets the ball and it one of the Lions picked up enough of his jersey to hold him up so that the rest of them could come through knock them out of bounds but it's a good throw by Kyle Allen just started off yeah calling for more noise now and we're calling for the two-minute warning and it is just arrived so it's now time for the two-minute warning timeout with a score the Steelers 14 The Lion seven this is the Pittsburg Steelers audio Network black and gold are the colors that not only honor our city but our Sports

the ball their own 42 as we head down to Max Starks all right guys not the best look on that drive for the defense but you also realize you have a lot of guys fighting for jobs uh on that Squad so a lot of mixed Parts in there thought I saw some good things but still not good enough when you give up the big plays like you did to hinden Hooker on an Off Script run that put them in in the goal to go situation offensively sacks can't give those up so you want to see some consistency going in this two-minute drill let's see if they can get there and get in a scoring position I'm not asking for a touchdown but get into scoring position with this drive you have a second a little bit longer you've got some space to work with try and make sure you execute and just hold up and allow Kyle Allen to do some work back to you guys thank you Max it is a second and eight with the ball on the 42 yd line marked on the left hash Allen deploys three receivers to his right two to his left it's an empty set Allen pointing to his right looking at the middle linebacker who shows Blitz now up the middle of the field now he'll settle back into his Zone position as Allen gets a snap looks and is hit the ball is hit from behind knocked out and let's see who's got the ball it looks like the Lions have recovered uh Ryan M oh no I thought he was going to come away with the ball but he's going groundhog there Ryan mallum y I think it might have been uku who is fighting for a spot on the Lion's roster who came up with a strip of Allen from behind and Smith who came up with a recovery for the Lions so instead of the Steelers marching down and looking for a first half score at the end of this first half it is the Lions now who have the ball in Steelers uh field position at the 33 yd line of the Steelers well that was Dey Hamilton left tackle that got driven into the backside back his backside into the backside of Kyle Allen and knocked dislodged the ball knocked it right out that's that's a bad feeling if you're an offensive lineman and you end up bumping into your quarterback you know you it's one of those things you turn around like oh because you obviously created some real Havoc back there and that ball being loosed like that it's a shame Steels had an opportunity to work the two-minute drill and now they're not going to be able to have it ball at the left hash 33 yd line hooker under Center as Jefferson is theone setback play action pass looking looking out to his left now back to his right across the middle of the field it is complete taken in down at the 15 yd line and that is Kaden Davis who made the reception for the Lions well you got a little play action with an in route Kaden Davis makes a big reception you got Mark Robinson right in the face of hooker just came up and made a nice hit on him but he was just a hair late and he was able to complete that pass underneath Lions huddling up they're in no hurry here a minute 25 and Counting the ball the 15 yd line they still have two timeouts remaining hooker under center it's a tightly bunched formation with two receivers to each side Jefferson the lone setback now A Man in Motion is Mitchell to the left and the pitch goes to the left and Jefferson will find plenty of room before he is driven down by montravius Adams gets inside the 10 and down to the eight yd line well you pitch the ball to your deep man and you're looking for that that cut back and that's exactly what he was able to do being able to cut back to the inside of montravius Adams and Mark Robinson was there they'll back him up jacobe winman hit the front side B Gap but it's the backside a gap that was exposed right there the Lions will use one of their two remaining timeouts with 44 seconds left the ball's at the 8 yd line it's a second and three and 44 seconds left plenty of time with still one timeout remaining here wolf exactly so um you know for the Steelers again trying to trying to come with some heat trying to make a difference and being able to do something here to hold off the lines it's been a complete reversal again of quarters you know our starters beat up on their starters and now their backups are attempting to beat up on our backups I suppose if you were to pick your poison you'd take the first scenario oh yeah starters being there starters I I think so no doubt about it but right now be interested to see what the Steelers can do in this situation Ste they substituting the ball is at the 8 yd line of the Steelers the line's huddling up now they'll have a second and three when hooker breaks the Huddle as he does now two receivers to the right of the formation one to the left there's a tight end to the left as well Jefferson remains in the game as the lone running back and on the delay the fake by Hooker Hooker rolling to the left hooker's going to keep and hooker will get inside the five before he's shoved out of bounds by Kiron Johnson that's a nice job on play action with a little roll out hooker rolling to his left attempting to throw across his body if he can but you got jacobe winman and Kiron Johnson nice job by Kiron of driving over the man trying to block him put him right on his back got disengaged and was able to chase down and after hooker keep him from turning up and an interesting play of fake draw so there's that moment of hesitation for everybody out there defensively exactly and now hooker in the shotgun with the ball at the four yd line on a first goal he'll give to Jefferson Jefferson up the middle of the field hit there by Johnson now the scrum ensues and a little shove forward from the three down of the one I was afraid time out by the lines but I was afraid that scrum was going to carry over in the end zone like a Rugby scrum you know you got the guys you know you stand the guy up and you you got him Kiron Johnson again making a nice uh play coming off getting off his block attempted bling V and he get a whack on there but then you get other guys that join in and you're trying to pull push against that that great pulling action you know you got two forces and it gets it you get a little lethal inside there remember again that used to technically be illegal but if you stand up a guy now you must be thinking uhoh I hope our guys come before their guys yeah hey I need some help here boys you know that's why it's you got to tackle bring if you're going to tackle tackle in a posi bring your boys along with you 28 seconds remaining here in the first half second and one from the one yd line the ball left hash hooker has Jefferson to his left two receivers to the right of the formation and here's Jefferson Jefferson off the right side gaping hole and Waltz is into the end zone for an easy score and the Lions now pending the extra point have an opportunity to tie this game up with just 25 seconds remaining in the first half oh that was just an inside handoff and he was able to take it right into the end zone scored rather easily unfortunately I ha to say that there was a big hole over the right side so Bates will be on to try the extra point he did miss one last week for the Lions four for four on field goal attempts though and here's the boot by Bates and he doesn't miss this one we are tied up at 14 a piece with 25 seconds remaining in the first half as we go downstairs now to Max Starks Max all right guys just as fast as it happened early in this game for the Steelers it's now happening for the Detroit Lions two consecutive drives two consecutive scores short field on this last one on a sudden change turnover not what you want to see which when you're thinking about Mike Tomlin at a halftime you wonder what the adjustments will be what he'll feel because just as good as you felt in the first quarter you're not feeling as good in the second quarter and a lot of opportunities still out there still trying to find out who's that nickel Corner guy going to be and when you look at how that play happened um you know in the previous drive on that on that quick inside slant I know there's supposed to be safety support but that's a key position where nickel Corner comes into play in those situations and then of course Gunner the punt returns have put the lions in position to be successful off of Steelers stalling drives another area so those things are still very much in play guys back to you yeah Max thanks very much that was Thomas Graham on that slant that Max was talking about but again whether that was man or Zone uh difficult to say but Graham was the guy who was out there in the slot Corner position at that time here's rice plumbley now with the ball at the 2 yd line crosses the 10 to the 20 angles to the right finds a little bit of a hole and then moving across the formation is taken down right at the 25 yd line with a flag on the play you know you wonder what some of the adjustments might be in the second half well dur return holding receiving team number 40 T yard penalty first down you know some of the adjustments might be sitting some people down Rob right you know and that's that's a telling sign for what's coming up after now with a holding penalty the ball is going to be marked back at the 15 yd line zos have three timeouts but that seems rather irrelevant at this stage with only 19 seconds remaining here and yeah Allen in that Victory formation although again it's just to wind out the first half takes a knee and that will do things that's the end of the second quarter brought to you by your neighborhood Forge the F-150 is the

wolf you and I have been talking about this a lot both here on the air and of course uh during commercial breaks and actually leading up to this game this is a huge moment for a lot of young men here trying to either win a spot on the roster you know win a more prominent role just keep their NFL dream alive maybe for some of them no question about a kinger look it's it is huge what you do and put on film this half because well it was the first half but again the emphasis is going to be when you got cut down date coming up you've got your resume on film going out to the other 31 teams and believe you me you want to be on spot here's the boot it's going to be taken by Alexander it is two yd line Alexander will head straight up the hash now he's going to angle to his left crosses the 25 crosses the 30 finds a gap there and gets out to the 34 yd line and again that's been a couple of good returns here by the Lions and this is something Danny Smith and the Special Teams group is going to want to get cleaned up a little bit as well we're starting to see some of the effect of the these new rules coming into play and there seems to be now where they're attacking the edge at least the Lions have been today and and being able to get some decent returns there it's interesting to see as this is going to continue to evolve over the whole season henden hooker remains in at the quarterback position has some power to the left of this formation Knight is the lone setback Knight gets a hand off tries the left side squares the shoulders gets across the 35 out to about the 37 yd line so a pick up of about three and again wolf we don't know whether this is schematics or whether it is personel or a combination of both on these special teams because that's something again the steers are still trying to figure out no question about it and it's going to take a while to be able to you know work it all out and see where the greatest Advantage uh ADV advantageous positions are in doing so hooker in the shotgun gets the snap looking out to his left will throw it is complete to zra his tight end and zra dances forward up the sideline to about the 47 maybe the 48 yd line before he's knocked out of bounds and he was running the the tight end was being covered by The Quay Washington the Steelers just signed the the last couple of days and he was not able to catch up to zra other than being able to force him out of bounds and now you got what well they marked it at the 49 yd line left hash that is where hooker will come up under Center Knight remains theone setback hooker play action pass looking and is going to throw deep to the left side of the field and it is incomplete had a man out there was slightly underthrown intended for Darius Fountain still looked like Fountain might have been able to come up with this ball as we take a look at the replay here at fordfield well Kyler McMichael was in man coverage and running stride for stride and he looked like he stripped the ball right at the end yeah it looked like he punched it out yeah nice job by Kyler McMichael so second and 10 ball at the 49 yd line of the Lions on the left hash 1342 remaining in this third quarter off big hole by on the right side for Knight and Knight will get across Midfield to about the 48 yd line where he is slung down by beanie Bishop nice job beanie Bishop cleaning up Mark Robinson stepped up got off the block was able to wrap up the back but was not able to bring him down unfortunately but beanie Bishop came in for a cleanup and held him from advancing the ball any further the ball to 48 it's a third and seven 48 of the Steelers ball on the right hash Alexander moves from left to right across the formation hooker gets the snap looking now hooker tries to run he heads out to the right he's got some room and hooker will eye the first down marker and get out of bounds just inside of that first down marker so it is a first down for the Lions you know I got to tell you something Kiron Johnson put such a move on the left tackle of the Lions he was not being held he was being mugged I mean that was a pure uh New York City in the park mugging that went on there I'm telling you he had them all wrapped up talk about Octopus arms so the ball is marked at the 40 yd line of the Steelers right hash as hooker comes under Center Knight is the lone setback he'll bring Kennedy towards him in the formation turn and give toon Knight off the right side and Knight is hit right as he gets to the line of scrimmage and is stopped nice job by Deshawn Elliot as we go downstairs to Max Starks Max well Mike Tomlin was pleased with everything that started out in the first half the first couple of drives talking about the Russ Wilson to George Pickins connection was a huge thing that he felt will go a long way and he wants to see that continue to grow as we get into the regular season defensively everything was well into the last two drives so hoping to clean those things up and but this is indicative of August football back to you guys Max thank you very much hooker in the shotgun on a second and nine and there's a flag on the play looked like one of the Steelers got there too early hooker dropped the ball picked it back up in the bounce gallops out to the left and picks up first down yardage I believe that's going to be offsides on the Steelers if that is the case this will hold up as a long gain inside the 30 Y Line Defense number 53 that penalty is declined result of the play it's a first down so it was Kiren Johnson who jumped offside so the play does stand down to the 29 yard line of the Steelers that was totally o weird wasn't it so the ball to the 29 yd line the Lions have the ball in the left hash as hooker breaks the Huddle Donovan Knight is running back to his right in the shotgun formation two receivers to the right two receivers split to the left as well hooker now touches his helmet looks around settles back in gets the snap it's a high snap he'll throw out quickly to his right and Kennedy is hit and dropped immediately Zion Gilbert came up and stopped him for a loss of a couple in the right flat that's one of those wide receiver screens you got the offensive lineman running from inside there to the out trying to kick out people and Zion Gilbert was there to say no right away nice job of beating the the the intersectional point with the offensive lineman they're coming out they want to kick you out but you beat them to the spot and brought down the wide receiver nice job Zion Gilbert second and 11 ball in the 30 yd line hooker gets the snap looking throws out to the right quickly it's zra zra tries to make a move now the stiff arm of Haynes and he will get forward close to first down yardage see where they mark it they said he got knocked out of bounds by Haynes back at the 22 yd line so it'll bring up a third and short well that was uh that was stretching the neck of uh Haynes there by zra you know checking to see the resiliency I mean that I don't know why that wasn't a flag yeah that was a face full of you got a hand face mask by hannes so third and three with the ball at the 22 yd line hooker gets the snap will give to Knight Knight has a hole off the right side and Knight will pick up a first down down to the 17 yd line of the Steelers well that was just a little cut back takes that handoff and just cuts back behind the center there was able to get the first down boy you got it giving up a little too much ground there in the in the trenches was Gilbert who came up to make the stop now the ball to 17 with hooker under Center he'll give to Knight off the left side Knight makes a move in the back field and gets down to about the 15 where he's bottled up and stopped there and that's Mark Robinson just you know again one of those guys that's got great CDO a great ability to see it fire that gun as they say if you're a linebacker you got to get up in there and beat the interception point between you and the offensive line and Mark Robinson was able to do that and then come off and almost made the tackle in the back field but you know almost is not good enough got to get him on the ground second and eight hooker in the shotgun with the ball to 15 on the left hash has two receivers to his right one to his left on the 12th play of the drive for the Lions hooker gets the snap looking to his right and now looking to his left and now will take off straight up the middle of the field and will slide down around the eight yd line so he's going to be just short of a first down but a gaping hole nobody there for hooker and hooker steps forward and picks up about seven yards well the front end Defenders got pushed Beyond where hooker had set up and then of course you got the outside Defenders the pass rushers on the outside the edge rushers they were up the field so everybody was practically screaming at him run run the ball you know and he finally did third and one at the eight power to the right side of the formation hooker under Center hooker will give right and this is Knight and Knight will get close to first down yard it just is going to be very very close and it's going to be marked down around the seven yd line had to get to the seven to pick up the first down and they're saying he didn't get it so it is a fourth down well that's a nice job of Mark Robinson again getting on the line side of the scrimmage and being able to come up and get in on the hit and stop the forward motion of the back so that at least even if you didn't totally tackle them and bring him to the ground cleanly the rest of the defense is able bble to reload and get to him and help him out so fourth and inch is hooker back and there's a flag that comes down as the Lions moved quickly they came to the line of scrimmage tried to get SN off quickly offense number 59 5yd penalty remains fourth down and it was too quickly and so Manu is called for the penalty and that will send out the field goal team now even Dan Campbell probably won't go for a fourth and six you knew he was going to go for it on Fourth and goal oh there's no question uh Dan Campbell was well noted for taking calculated risks ball is going to be marked right in the middle of the field and that is where Bates will come on to try a 30-yard field goal five for five in the preseason with a long of 55 this one much shorter at 30 this one is up and it is no good wide right so the first missed field goal for Jake Bates in the preseason the new kicker for the lions from

home for the Steelers this is the Pittsburgh Steelers audio Network at Ford Field 719 remaining in the third quarter after the missed 30 yard attempt by Jake Bates the ball is spotted at the 20 for this steers in quarterback Kyle Allen ready to go wolf ready to go brother I was watching got a little look at Hank Frey member of the old Pittsburgh Steelers Center now he's the offensive line coach for the Detroit Lions and he was uh in the middle of um hanging I would say so Allen breaks the Huddle gets under Center will turn and give to perine perine a little Juke as he moves out to his left and will get to about the 22 yd line a gain of a couple well now is the time to shine I mean you know you got chances are running out here rob you know the chance to make a big play on offense defense or special teams the ability keep showing up at the point of attack and making some good plays got to do it high formation now so will move out to the right so two tight ends to the right one receiver split to each side Allen touches the head looks out and now will'll pitch the ball to perine perine will try the right side he's hitting the back field will drag a tackler forward and get back to the line of scrimmage with that effort and again wolf just to let people know this is it this is the final game that's it there won't be any more practices until the cutdown is made on Tuesday and those announcements are made on Tuesday that's it's pretty much it this is your last opportunity as a player to put something on tape to convince the coaches you should be on this roster you know and it's a difficult position to be in as a player you understand your Chan is running out Allen back will throwing up the right sideline and he finds Dez Fitzpatrick Fitzpatrick will get to the 30 makes a man miss now cutting across the middle of the field and gets inside the 20 and down to the 18 yd line of the Lions there is a flag on the play beautifully thrown ball from Allen to Fitzpatrick Fitzpatrick does the rest for now the ball is at the 19 yd line and the SS are continuing to Walk This Way from right to left in front of us as if this penalties on the Lions what a nice pass interference Defense number 24 that penal declined first down there Fitzpatrick gets released on a go route and what a go route it was he caught that thing in full stride what a great ball thrown by Kyle Allen hit him full stride he goes Wang Dang Doodle down the sidelines there makes a cut inside and what a nice job of being able to complete that route it was Steven Gilmore who he beat in that 59 yd reception ketto motions now settles back in the eye formation Champlin is deep in the eye Allen under Center Champlin crabs to his left and he'll get the the handoff heading in that direction and he'll get down to about the 18 yd line so a pick up of a yard the Steelers are now entering the hind Red Zone during Steelers season it has to be hin Dez Fitzpatrick one of those guys we've seen him lot featured on special teams trying to battle as maybe the fifth receiver on this team maybe a special teams guy as well could well be he just made a case for it in the fourth quarter here ball at the 18 yd line Allen comes out in the pistol has Champlin behind him now Champlin will move to his right two receivers to the right one split out to the left Allen fakes to delay back to pass looking throws over the middle of the field intended for Jer Jenkins it's incomplete there is a flag on the play indeed there's an in route there J Jenkins goes inside I'm just wondering if the defense back covering him got a little handsy or what have you illegal use a hands to the face Defense number 27 5yd penalty automatic first down that is the recently signed Richard Wild Goose for the Lions that's quite a name wild goose and he's flagged with the fivey it was him who was on Jenkins in coverage and so the ball will be marked at the 13 yd line where the Steelers on the left hash will set up for business Allen in the shotgun he has Champlin to his Right Moves Fitzpatrick in formation left to right so he has trips to the right and now Fitzpatrick will go back to the left the hand off off the left side to Champlin Champlin hit in the backfield and Champlin dropped right at the line of scrimmage they're going to call it so no gain it'll bring up a second and 10 440 remaining here in this third quarter in the 1414 game well you got a little inside hand off and a on a trap block there and it just went nowhere and again penet kicks the the the Daylights out of any sort of Run play and especially on a trap play like that three receivers split to the right of the formation as Allen breaks the Huddle he has champin to his left now Champlin will move to his right Allen gets the snap we give the champin up the middle of the field cuts to the right and gets inside the 10 down to about the 9 yd line that was a nice lead c a little power action Champlin getting behind some of the ham hock those big offensive linemen up in front of him there he was able to get on behind taem Doss and get over the Right Guard follow that big man up in the middle of of the Detroit Lions defense and that's a nice job of getting positive yardage and and in very difficult territory and big man is an apt description for Doss uh at over 350 lbs he is a big huge force on that offensive line Conor Hayward right to left now back to the right play action pass roll out towards Hayward and overshot him in the right flat incomplete and that will bring on the field goal unit for the Steelers oh that was so close Conor Hayward ran an out pattern right at the sticks that ball was just a little high got went out to the outside there and Kyle Allen had somebody jumping in front of him caused him to put a little more air on it than what he wanted to do so it is Matthew Wright who will come on to try the field goal attempt for the Steelers ball was marked at the 16 yd line so it'll be a 26 yd attempt just inside the right hash here's the snap here's the kick that kick is up and that kick is good and with 321 remaining the Steelers have taken a 17-4 lead here in the third quarter the Steelers have just scored from the hindes Red Zone during Steelers season it has to be Hinds from Ford Field Steelers football continues with the score the Steeler 17 and the Lions 14 Ryan Patton and Associates is an

Jefferson off the left side tackled by windman as he gets out to the 22 yd line well that was a left trap Right Guard pulling to the left side looking to tra her lead around the corner and that was a nice job of jacobe winman finding his way to the outside edge and bringing them down good job there that you got you got to track a long ways and you got to pick your way through traffic there and jacobe showed he was very skillful at it 245 remaining here third quarter 1714 Steelers lead ball the 17 yd line the left hash Line's moving left to right in front of us as hooker gets a snap looks

the left as dejon Edwards to his right in the shotgun now Edwards will move over to the left Allen gets a snap we give to Edwards on the delay Edwards picks his way forward off the left side and gets a surge from the line and we'll get to the 42 yd line so a pick up of seven yards for Edwards on that second down run oh that was Anderson Hardy leading Edwards around the left around the center to the left guard area and then what a nice job of just driving up through that Gap that hole there beautiful job yeah bradi Martin is down for the Lions after that play and is seated at the 39 yd line of Detroit well I love a good power you know a lead power you can bring that guard around and all 300 plus pounds of him is getting north and south on a linebacker and you got the back right behind you and you know one thing if you're that pulling guard you better get make some hay you better get some traction otherwise you're going to end up with a ballistic you know right that running back coming up behind you you get stuffed in the hole man a lot of them backs they they ain't looking real well you know what I mean right they they lead with their their chin man that's all you need is a helmet right to the keer now Martin walking gingerly off the field with a minute 32 remaining the clock stopped ball at the 42 yd line of the Steelers in front of us moving right to left here at Ford Field 132 remaining in the third quarter the feers Steelers facing a third and seven as Allen breaks the Huddle has Edwards to his left and two receivers to each side of the formation lion showing a four-man Rush here Allen hesitates now settles back into the shotgun gets a snap Lions bringing for Allen throwing up the right side of the field and it is complete to Jer Jenkins beautiful throw hauled in by Jenkins at the 12 yd line of the Lions oh you got to be kidding me Dre jackins going down the sidelines what a beautiful ball by Kyle Allen that was a tight window that was not a big window at all jeray Jenkins getting his feet down and catching that ball in a very well no okay I just yeah cuz the right foot came in out of bounds and so the officials conferred decided this was not a completion they brought the ball back and and let's see what the Steelers are going to do here from the 42 yd line you would think punt it away and in fact cam Johnson is going to come out instead of trying a 59 yd field goal attempt Johnston will punt it away for the Steelers well cam had a proficiency rating of around 50% of killing punts inside the 20 yd line last year let's see if he can do it again maybe get inside the 10 here Alexander back with his feet planted at the eight yd line Johnson the high end overend kick Alexander mall for the fair Catch and he will make it at about the 12 yd line which is where the Lions will have the ball with 105 remaining here in the third quarter here are the latest NFL scores brought to you by clear viiew Federal Credit Union your financial partner for life clearviewfcu.org in the fourth quarter in Buffalo Carolina leading the bills 25 to9 in Green Bay the Packers up on Baltimore 30 to7 that's in the third also in the third Houston at home over the Rams 10 to9 and in the third quarter as well in Philadelphia it is Minnesota 23 and Philadelphia 3 hooker in the shotgun and he has a running back to his left now we'll go back to pass we'll look out to the right complete to Alexander and he drops the ball and the Steelers say they have it and the officials are saying the Lions have it at the 15 yd line now the officials conferring hard to believe that could have been complete that quickly and still have the ball come loose but they're going to mark it at the 15 yd line and call it second and seven wow I guess maybe the knee was down the knee touch before the ball came out is what happened it was a good good play by Zion Gilbert to dislodge the ball but it's just a little bit late hooker back to pass looking in trouble now darts out to his left finds some room crosses the 20 out to the 25 tackled there and that will probably be the final play here of the third quarter as hooker gets out to the 15 to pick up a first down

Network the start of the fourth quarter is brought to you by Hyde Park thank you Pittsburgh for voting Hyde Park best stake in the city the Lions have the ball after that first down run by hooker to close out the third quarter just inside their own 25 yd line on the left hash Al lines in front of us moving right to left here at fordfield See's enjoying a three-point lead 17 to 14 hooker has been then at quarterback for the entire way here for the Detroit Lions remains in there now Jacob slate almost had himself a sack but nearly flushed the hooker out hessie crabbing in motion hooker back to pass looking hooker will fire over the middle of the field leaping grab made there this is Alexander Alexander crosses the 50 and gets down to the 46 yd line and it's going to be a horse collar tackle on top of that and so Adam another 15 yards oh that one's going to hurt that one's going to hurt indeed that was you know over the middle found that Gap personal foul Force collar tackle defense number 33 that 15yd penalty being forced from in the Run automatic first down kabino uh newly signed by the Steelers is going to be guilty of that horsecollar tackle well he again blinds did nice job J running pattern over the middle heading to the sidelines there and then uh well you know you just got to be careful you get hold of uh the guy Alexander got as he was running to the sidelines he comes up and he just gets grabbed wow yeah that was uh pretty pretty clear hooker under Center left hash play action pass looking and now he's going to try to escape to his right looking now he's going to tuck the ball and he's going to go and he's going to cross the 20 yd line there's a flag on the play downfield where the receivers and the defensive backs for the Steelers were jostling and let's see what this call is going to be and I thought maybe he'd get a little holding call here but hooker did a great job of looking over and get to the outside and then start running up the field he's been a his legs have been a big huge attack for the Lions today hooker eight carries 73 yards for the lions that was heading into that play as well there is no foul for defensive holding result the play as a first [Applause] down so give him another 11 yards nine carries for 84 yards for hooker yeah he's he just escaped that by there was three guys right in his face man it was wel Shoff who ran across the field and eventually bumped him out of Bounds at the 19 yd line he's averaging almost a first down a carry yeah they're going to given 9.4 nine carries 85 yards for Hooker Hooker play action pass rolling out to his left looking now pump fakes he going to run again crosses the 20 and is taken down by windman as he gets down to the 11 yd line so another eight yd gain for hooker my oh my you know I mean this this guy's running all over the place you call him crazy leg but hooker comes out he breaks outside control and leverage and he's able to just duck inside a little bit and get positive yardage again yet again averaging right around that eight n yard a carry Mark just stepped out of the tackle of Marcus Haynes and now will bring up a second and two eye formation Jefferson dotting the eye hooker will give to Jefferson who starts left cuts to the right is hit there at the 10 yd line but is able to C forward to the eight and pick up the first down that was Keandre Keandre Thomas coming up making a hit the line of scrimmage there they got a first down again the cut back you know you've got to play your gaps you got to make sure you stay home you on the front side you got to hold the point backside you got to squeeze Hole by hole to the ball the Lions fans thought might have been a little bit of a grab at the face mask but no call ball ball is marked just inside the 8 yd line on the right hash hooker in the shotgun and hooker will give on the delay and Jefferson will Scamper into the End Zone from eight yds out and the Lions have taken the lead here at Ford Field wow that was a slow developing run and he was able to just pick his way almost casually for for a short yardage for Red Zone low Red Zone type of uh offense man that was a little too casual a very good description of that it just it did seem rather casual didn't it oh it did I mean he and he took his time picking the hole then he accelerated right at the appropriate time but seemingly he had plenty of time to do it Bates on to try the extra point bates's kick is up bates's kick is good and with 1239 remaining from Ford Field see if this football can continues with the score of the

got wins the opportunity to go out a quarterback you see that we got John rice plumbley returned to kick 40 yards and now he gets to man the offense to finish it off that's pretty cool it is you don't see that very often John rice plumble they're going to Mark the ball at the 44 so they stepped out of bounds there Ball's on the left hash and John rice plumbley gets the snap and will keep on a read option and get out to his left and pick up oh about three maybe four yards out to the 48 yd line give him four yards well he's feeling his Mojo here right you got you you got a great return on the kick off so now well let's run a read option baby I'm going to put in the belly of the Beast no pull about get out on the on the flats out there and run with the ball you're feeling your you're feeling your strength he comes out under Center tight end to the right he'll move ketto the fullback back to the left now he'll settle back in in an eye formation play action pass rice plumbley rolling out throws out to his right it's complete across Midfield to the 47 of the Lions Dez Fitz Patrick calls it in a little short of a first down it'll be about a third and one all right you know a little reverse roll out got legs it shouldn't be John rice plumbley it ought to be John legs plumbley you know what I mean this guy's got some wheels and you're going to use them that's a nice little reverse roll I thought you were going ZZ Top he's got legs and knows how to use them that that works he did roll out to the right nice little pitch and catch there brings up a third and one he's in the shotgun brings soal right to left across the formation gets the snap and he will give and this is Peron picking his way forward in P Ryan looks like he's going to have enough for first down oh I don't know this near official said no he's going to be just short of the 46 yd line which is a line to gain ah you got to go for it yeah you got to and they'll move briskly to the line of scrimmage rice plumbley stays in the shotgun Parks out the signals Crow getting loud here and then along the left side both the left guard and left tackle move too soon for the Steelers well ball start offense number 69 5yd penalty remains fourth down uh do we have to name him I hate to do that yep Dey Hamilton moved a little too soon and now the ball's going to be moved back well I I believe that was Anderson Hardy uh they they they labeled it 69 I don't know I just hate to do that hate to identify a fellow hog oh right you our wolf here's a snap back to cam Johnson Johnson will go with a high end overend boot Alexander calls for the fair catch he's going to make it at his 8 yd line with 1040 remaining here at Ford Field in the fourth quarter see this football continues it the score the Lions

remaining fourth quarter at Ford Field wolf and I sending it down to Max were ready to be corrected and possibly chastised by Max Max yes guys you can't say I'm going to I'm going to throw guys not throw guys under the bus but then name two wrong guys who weren't in it CU Tyler Beach at left guard okay was the guilty party that jumped off sides and then also Mason McCormack taking the snaps the last series at Center New twist back to you guys very very interesting Max thanks for pointing out both those things for us as Jake from is the new quarterback under Center will pitch to the left to f and Funk will try the left side and find nothing as he's tackled right at the line of scrimmage that was mqu Washington who came up and made the stop for the Steelers oh I like that I like the way lqu came up it's a good job of filling the Gap being square and making the tackle along with some help yeah give mares Spencer credit there with Spencer actually who made the initial hit and Washington helped him finish it off from in the shotgun as Funk to his right two receivers split to the right one to the left Steelers bringing pressure from back throws underneath it is complete to Kennedy Kennedy steps out of a tackle and gets out to the 19 yd line enough for a first down for the Lions Miss tackles will get you off this team very fast you know I mean you just can't afford to miss tackles that's uh got a man inside you reach high for the ball and you end up not being able to bring him down because you're reaching for the ball as well trying to make a play on it that was Zion Gilbert who' seen be very active defensively in makes some tackles yeah let Kennedy slip away on that one it's a first down ball at the 19 yd line left hash from under Center trips to the left now will bring Kennedy left to right across the formation play action pass FR back looking fires over the middle of the field intended for Maurice Alexander and they're going to say he caught at a bobbling catch at the 33 yd line first down for the Lions well again another in route Zion Gilbert in trail and I'm not so wow man no huddle look here from we'll give to Funk Funk up the middle of the field and Funk out to the 37 yd line before he's taken out I didn't have a chance to see the replay he did catch that it you know what I caught up late in it and it looked like it was bobbling around I wasn't sure first I think it caught some dirt that's why they hurried up to the line of scrimmage they pick up four yards on that first down run by Funk the ball spotted just outside of the 36 yd line of the Lions 8:30 in counting remaining in the fourth quarter from ambles up to the line of scrimmage settles under Center back to pass looking quick three-step drop in trouble throws over the middle of the field and he is walloped as he tried to get a short pass to Funk McQuay Washington boy I think that the two Steelers may have collided with each other yeah I I think uh is that Kiren Johnson moving gingerly he looks yeah he looks a little shook up there from looked like he he was in the middle of a a hurricane and came out from the eye of the storm right you know cuz there was a couple guys draped around him spun around and I think Washington and Johnson ran into each other so now a third and six from in the shotgun and now his man will move on the left of the formation that's Calhoun who jumps off offense number 80 5y penalty remains third down they flash to to Dan Campbell you look at his face you know he's looks like he's got that uh he's not going to be around Long yeah well you I don't know you know the coaches don't they don't they want their Guys these guys to at least play clean don't want to see those don't want to see those pre- snap penalties the ninth penalty on the lions from in the shotgun now on a third third and 11 back to pass Steelers bringing the blitz he throws over the middle of the field has a man open and it is Calhoun Calhoun the man who jumped off sides is able to pick up the first down into Steelers territory and down to the 47 yd line well it's an in-breaking route and from hits Calhoun there and I I got to tell you if you're going to make a mistake that's how you make up for it you come up with a big play of your own that's a good job there of coming back from it unfortunately for the Steelers but Calhoun made a nice catch over the middle 745 in counting remaining fourth quarter as from breaks the Huddle for the Steelers or for the Lions I beg your pardon eye formation Funk is the Deep set back PR gets a snap play action pass looking over the middle of the field again and this one is hauled in once again by Calhoun and Calhoun with Keandre Thomas draped all over and makes the fine catch down at the 31 well that that was a nice catch by Calhoun driving almost looked like he extended a little on on Keandre and got a little push off there but officials didn't see it that way and he came back made a catch so again if you're going to make a mistake double up on doing positive things Lions moving right to left in front of us have the ball at the right hash 31 yd line of the Steelers from under Center turns pitches gives to H Funk on that pitch and Funk will cross the 30 before Slade rides him down at about the 28 yd line it was a good job by the corner to come up and turn the play in you know you got one of those big beef eaters coming at you one of the offensive linemen 300 plus pounds you got to come up and you got to turn it in and he certainly did and Jacob Slade made a nice job of coming down the line and making the tackle ball to 28 yd line on the left hash from once again under Center under 620 remaining here in the fourth quarter brings the Man in Motion across the formation he'll settle to the right they give to Funk off the right side Funk stretching it out and Funk will get down to about the 23 yd line before The Quay Washington drags him down and that was just a good example of a wide Zone just keep stretching it stretching it and eventually you're going to make those defensive tackles inside linebackers get them onedimensional by turning their shoulders they him run towards the side lines and at that point the running back really has an ability to pick one of several options as far as you know which hole to hit got to have somebody sets a hard Edge approaching 5 and a half minutes remaining here in a third and two the fourth quarter at Ford Field from in the shotgun gets the snap looks out to the right looking now lost as a man wide open and it is incomplete he had Funk on a circle route wide open and it is an incomplete pass and stops the clock at 527 remaining here in the fourth quarter the lions are set up to still go for this wow that was so close I don't know what Funk was looking at he stutter stepped yeah he did and slowed down and the ball I looked from his angle probably looked like Jaylen Elliot was going to be there and make a play on it but certainly Funk is now in a funk how's that yeah it looked like looked like that was a well thrown ball instead it's a fourth down now the ball at the 23 yd line Funk is theone set back for from under Center two receivers to each side and now there will be a flag and a delay of game on the Lions and that will delay game offense number 18 5 yard penalty remains fourth down that will mean the field goal unit will come out Jake Bates to try a field goal here for the Lions fortunately we can't get any overtime that's good yes that's uh change the rules as they've already got things marked off here at the 40 36 yd line so a 46y attempt here for B from the right hash 2117 Lions this would put them up by a touchdown should they get the conversion here by Bates looks like one of the Steelers jumped and that kick is up and that kick is good now let's see what Dan Campbell decides to do he take the field goal and assess the penalty on the kickoff or you go for it again here yeah you take the points off the board they're conferring with Dan Campbell right now along the lion sideline I don't know you know I mean well I wouldn't be surprised if he took the points off the board no I thought he might want to get some more offense on there offside Defense number 21 that penalties declin result of the Play Feels Good Time 522 remaining here in the fourth quarter with the

Pittsburgh at Ford Field the Lions have taken a 24- 17 lead 11pl 64 yd Drive took 518 capped off by the 46 yd field goal from Bates who is getting ready to kick off now with Luther and perine back for the Steelers and this is going to skip at the one yd line and go through the end zone so this will be marked at the 20 yd line so that's exactly the kind of kick you want if you the Lions or any team that's out there as we head downstairs to Max Starks Max all right guys you know looking at the game that was a good drive by the defense to Halt things from the way that they were going I mean the switch from henden hooker to Jake from you saw some big plays which you don't want to have by Calhoun an opportunity to get off the field something they still need to work on but it's crazy to think 522 left and after that we're going to have some very big discussions about guys being released who stays on the roster and this is still an opportunity for all these guys to show their worth not only for this team but for the 31 other teams watching back to you Max thanks very much champin gets the hand off bumps into his own man on the left Cuts back to the right and gets to the 23 yd line where he is hit down hard but a pick up of three almost four yards eang Bassie on the stop for the Lions they going to give give him four yards out to the 24 oh that's good you know cut back had to cut back get penetration again on the front side so what do you do you got to cut back and see what you can find on the backside which is exactly what he did and bumped into his own man and made that four yards pretty much on his own pistol formation now turned into the shotgun as champin moves to the left of quarterback John rice plumbley plumbley back to pass looking fires over the middle of the field complete to J Jenkins and Dr crosses the 40 out to the 41 yd line of the Lions nicely done you got play action that was 134 trap pass back in the day of the kid here back that's a Chuck n staple you got a left guard pulling and you fake a a trap play and then you come up pull those linebackers in and then hit the man coming across the middle for a pass which he just didn't and a first down beautifully four minutes and 15 seconds remaining here in the fourth quarter plumbley brings Jenkins in motion so that'll mean trips to the right Champlin is the setback beside him to the right and now Champlin will get the hand off and Champlin is hitting the backfield and champin Spins away from one but not from the other Seven Lions who come up to swallow him up at the 38 yd line oh that was the lead C power with the Right Guard pulling around trying to get up into that AB gap on the left side of the line it was not to be done you know we got a linebacker filling in there and there was just nowhere to go ban made the original hit a loss of three on the play will bring up a second and 13 3 and 1/2 minutes remaining here in the fourth quarter Lions leading 24- 17 Ball's marked in the left hash Mason McCormack in at Center R plumbley Stomps the foot gets a snap from McCormack throws out to his right it is complete to quz Watkins across the 45 out to the 48 yd line nice pitch and catch and plumley's been right on target thus far oh yeah yes you know plumble shown not only can he put the wheels in motion there but his arm is pretty good and his timing is even better and I got to tell you something Mason McCormack's doing a nice job at backup center good work by Mason three receivers out to the left side champin to the left of rice plumbley in the shotgun one receiver to the right rice Plumley will fake and now will throw out on an RPO and it is incomplete intended for Jacob Copeland and it falls to the turf here at Ford Field and that'll bring up a fourth down with 240 remaining in the forth wow that was looking pretty a little rough there you know watching him a read option and then you have the option of throwing it out to Copeland and uh I don't know for a moment that almost looked like well I don't want it you take it little read option RPO there yeah so now a fourth down the Steelers have the ball just inside their own 48 in the right hash they need need to cross Midfield and get to the 49 of the Lions to pick up a first down and keep this drive alive champin the lone set back behind rice plumbley rice plumbley under Center gets the snap play action pass looking looking in trouble fires out to his left a leaping grab made with a flag down inside Lions territory down to the 28 yd line it is quz Watkins on the reception let's see what the flag is oh it's going to be on the ineligible receiver down field offense number 79 5yd penalty remains fourth out oh my goodness what great Patience by John rice plumbley I mean he's sitting back there it was sitting back there waiting for quz Watkins to clear the coverage and make that out route and he kept waiting waiting and under the face of great pressure Wingo is Right coming down in the middle of his grill there and he's staying in his ground and he throws the ball oh that's a shame got an offensive lineman downfield fourth and8 228 remaining rice plumbley goes to Jenkins and shouts for him to move from right to left as the crowd getting loud here at Ford Field rice plumbley back and well another flag comes flying actually three of them do it's getting ugly false start offense number 79 5yd penalty remain fourth down so Joey fiser back-to- back penalties unfortunately for Joey and that'll Mark the ball all the way back at 38 and the Steelers look like they're going to send the punt team out I'm trying to remember back in my history the history of my life Rocky Bell Bo once said if I ever had backto back penalties I'm sure I have somehow but man that's that's not a good thing no Maurice Alexander back to receive this punt by Johnston he's standing at his 14 yd line is Alexander ball at the 33 yd line of the Steelers in the right hash snap to Johnson is a good one and Johnson again will go with the end overend punt angling away from Alexander will land at the 11 and bounce out of bounds a little bit backwards to the 14 yd line so another excellent punt by Johnston boy what a weapon he's going to be for this this guy is really amazing me you think about what last game he had 56 yd average a punting that ball and now he's he's killed several you know around the 10 to 14 yard line and he just has different a different variety of punts he can go end overend he can go the high booming spiral just a bunch of different things he can do to try to confuse the opposition I think what's really remarkable is watching him up a camp and watching him punt within five yards of the sidelines after drilling it almost 70 yards in the air and doing that repetitively that's just what he did here got it out of Bounds at the 14 from under center from back to pass looking will fire and complete over the middle of the field and this is Alexander makes a couple men Miss and picks up a first down out at the 28 yd line so you expect the Lions to run the ball instead Dan Campbell comes out throwing and Alexander picks up a first down for the Lions now it's time for

Pittsburgh Steelers audio Network two-minute warning the ball at the 28 yd line of the Lions marked right in the center of the field with the lines leading 24- 17 they just picked up a first down right before the two-minute warning so it's a first and 10 and the Lions obviously would like to just end this game with possession of the football no doubt about it well we've seen some good things today you know we saw the starting offense really get their act together and do some good positive things yeah the two opening drives the first by Wilson the second by Fields another strong game from herck at the outside linebacker position wow yes yeah there were a lot of positives but a lot of them came early in the game and you know now the the battle for spots in it'll be really interesting to hear Mike Tom win's postgame press conference will come up shortly after the conclusion of today's game see what he thought of his team's performance and maybe some of those fighting for a job so FR will break the huddle with the lions in the eye formation under the leg gives to zonovan Knight Knight is hit by windman in the backfield then wrestled down by slate as he Shrugged off that tackle attempt and the Steelers will use a timeout with the ball marked at the 29 yd line well that was a nice job by jacobe Wiman coming down the line from the backside had an opportunity to make a heck of a hit and did put a heck of a hit on him but you got to wrap him up you can't just butt him to the ground right he uh hit him shoulder first and uh didn't wrap him and Zan Knight strong running back was able to get through that but uh ins Slade just engulfed him well yeah you know and that that's uh that's part of making sure to secure and get people to the ground that's what you got to do so the ball is at the 29 yd line on the right Hash a second and nine a minute 54 remaining here in the fourth quarter as from and the Lions break the Huddle from under Center has Knight once again deep in the eye formation PR gets the snap we'll give on no he's going to keep it and throw out to his left and has a man wide open there it is his tight end and he's going to get out to the 43 yard line and that's going to be enough for a first down to Shawn mun and mun that'll pretty much do it with that first down so the play action pass and again the Steelers just one timeout remaining there's minute 45 left and they can't stop the clock enough to do really have any real impact on the remainder of this game well that was a nice little reverse roll out too by frm get that ball away Knight deep in the eye for from under Center will turn and give to Knight straight up the field Knight finds a little crease off the left side closes quickly but continues to Surge forward gets out to the 48 yd line and the Steelers will use their third and final timeout after that 5yd gain by night well the waiting's going to begin you know I mean we're about there and you know it's going to be some uh some sleepless nights I remember when I was again a rookie around the training camp and uh I remember guy asking me going one of the reporters there I said well you know now you got to wait what are you going to do I said I'm going to go check in a hotel on assume name he goes what I go yeah you know they'll they go they'll find you and I I'm joking have they have a little humor here bud would you well these have got to be nervous times again many of these I mean you're waiting for the knock you know you're waiting for the call you know it's say hey it's the end of your dreams you know or is it that time when your dreams are just beginning it it's just beginning yes ball at the 43 yd line on the left hash lone set back is knight from under Center barks out the signals brings mikun left to right and the hand off off the right side it's Knight and Knight will lower the shoulder again Jacob slay in there but a pushing and shoving going on and they look like they're going to give him that surge forward inside the 47 to the 46 will mean first down for the Lions and there is an injured player down and it's Ryan Watts for the Steelers who is prone on the ground at about the 48 yd line of the Steelers oh my uh that's not what you want to see moving both of his feet yeah he's moving his his his feet that's good but he's in some discomfort there lying face down at the 48 yd line oh my Ryan watches had a good camp he's been performing well they've been you know outside corner now safety you know working in a couple of positions and um I thought the young man has had a pretty decent Camp pretty good stuff well it's a six round pick out of Texas taking 19 195th overall by the Steelers you know and a special teams contributor well he is still down and still being attended to there was a massive Steelers training staff and medical personnel gathered around Ryan Watts oh okay part of it was he got oh he got blindsided from behind and then he fell into the leg of a Detroit Lion and he got discombobulated I think again we see his feet moving yeah yeah we don't see anything else moving but again he's largely obscured from our Vantage Point by all the Personnel gathered around him yeah again you know again he he was backing up defensively speaking the defensive line and
