>> Joe: THEY’RE HOPING HE CAN HAVE A RESURGENT SEASON. TROUBLE THERE FOR A WHILE. >> Joe: GOT IT GIVEN ON SECOND

DOWN AND IT’S HIGHSMITH AGAIN BLOWING THIS ONE UP. THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE WHERE THEY MOTION ACROSS AND

DOUBLE-TEAM OR JUST HAVE THE WING AND DOUBLE. THERE’S A DOUBLE-TEAM THERE ON ALEX HIGHSMITH.

HE BEATS THEM BOTH, GEORGE KITTLE AND CHARLEY WARNER. THAT’S A GREAT JOB. >> Joe: WITH WATT OUT, HIGHSMITH

SHANAHAN’S TEAM. BACK AT HOME TO TAKE ON THE

GIANTS. ICONIC FRANCHISES IN THIS WEEK

ONE MATCH-UP. STILL McCAFFREY LOST A COUPLE

THIS TIME. MARVIN LEAL GOT THE FIRST.

>> Joe: CHUBB SPLITS OUT TO THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.

QUICK THROW! AND PICKED OFF!

THE DEFLECTION AND INTERCEPTED BY HIGHSMITH AND TOUCHDOWN! WHAT A START FOR THE STEELERS! ENDS AND PUT JORNDAN EAKINS ON THE OUTSIDE.

HARRISON BRYANT IS EXPECTING THE BALL TO BE PUT ON HIM. WHEREAS, DESHAUN WATSON IS ANTICIPATING HE IS STAYING ON

THE MOVE AND THE BALL IS AWAY FROM HIM AND YOU GOT THE DEFLECTED BALL AND THEN THE INTERCEPTION.

>> Joe: BRYANT INTO THE BODY OF FITZPATRICK AND WAITING THERE WAS ALEX HIGHSMITH WHO ENDS UP WITH THE TOUCHDOWN.

IF YOU’RE A STEELERS DEFENSE TRYING TO ERASE A BRUTAL START LAST SUNDAY AT HOME AGAINST THE 49ers, THAT IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS

THEY ARE PRETTY LEAN BACK THERE NOW.

>> Joe: WATSON KEEPS. BAD DECISION.

HIGHSMITH OUT THERE MADE THE STOP.

NO GAIN. >> Troy: TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, EVENTUALLY THEY TURNED THE BALL OVER WHEN NJOKU FUMBLED AND THEY

HAVE TO TRY TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

>> Joe: HANDOFF TO FORD AND HE IS MET AT THE 2 BY COLE HOLCOMB AND HE WAS NOT ALONE. >> Troy: WE TALKED ABOUT THE

CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THIS STEELERS DEFENSE AND THESE COLE HOLCOMB ONE OF THOSE GUYS, NUMBER 55.

HE HAS COME ALIVE. IN THE GAME LAST WEEK, YOU

REALLY DIDN’T NOTICE THOSE LINEBACKERS. YOU DIDN’T NOTICE ANYBODY FOR THAT MATTER BUT YOU DIDN’T GET

AND TURN AROUND AND CATCH THE FOOTBALL.

>> Joe: NEAL SHOWING BLITZ. HERE HE COMES.

PRESSURE. BALL OUT!

PICKED UP! WATT!

TOUCHDOWN, STEELERS! HI

HERE IS ALEX HIGHSMITH AND SPEED RUSH BY ELLIS. RUN IT IN BY T.J. WATT. THEY HAVE NEEDED EVERY BIT OF

THIS DEFENSE TO MAKE THESE KINDS OF PLAYS AND THEY HAVE

DELIVERED. >> Joe: HIGHSMITH TOOK AN

THE RAVENS TRAILING 14-10. FIRST DOWN.

JACKSON. BALL IS OUT!

SITTING THERE, SCOOPED UP BY THE STEELERS!

T.J. WATT! HIGH SMITH KNOCKS IT FREE. AND THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS HAVE DONE IT IN EVERY PHASE.

FEEL THE FRESH, STEP UP. HIGHSMITH RIGHT THERE WITH THE

PLAY. THERE WAS ROOM TO CLIMB THE

POCKET. LAMAR JACKSON DID AND HIGHSMITH POPS IT FREE AND HOW FITTING IS IT THAT THE TWO EDGE RUSHERS

CONTINUES TO WORK IN TANDEM? AGAINST CLEVELAND, HIGHSMITH KNOCKS IT FREE. T.J. TAKES IT IN FOR A

TOUCHDOWN. HERE, HIGHSMITH KNOCKS IT FREE, >> Charles: BROUGHT AFFECTED 24 YARDS, HIT BACK TO HIS

HIGH SCHOOL QUARTERBACKING AND COLLEGE TIGHT END DAYS. >> Ian: LAWRENCE SLAMMED DOWN AT THE 25!

GOLF IN COLORADO. >> Ian: JACKSONVILLE FACING A

2ND & 10 WITH ETIENNE SINGLE SETBACK. TIGHT FORMATION, ETIENNE BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE.

HIGHSMITH SNIFFED IT OUT AND PITTSBURGH USES ITS FINAL SECOND DOWN IN FOUR. TENNESSEE AT ITS OWN 40 YARD

LINE. PRESSURE, SACK, 36 YARD LINE.

ALEX HIGHSMITH GETS THAT TAKEDOWN. KIRK: YOU GET A GOOD PUSH IN THE MIDDLE FROM THE ROOKIE, WHICH

THAT’S WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU PLAY THE STEELERS. ARE YOU GOING TO GET A PUSH UP THE MIDDLE.

YOU KNOW ABOUT HIGHSMITH AND A GREAT JOB HE CAN DO IN APPLYING THAT PRESSURE. THAT’S ANOTHER HOLDING CALL, BUT

I THINK WHAT A FUTURE, BEING ABLE TO COMPLEMENT WHAT THEY CAN WITH THAT PASS RUSH COLLAPSING, THE BALL HAS GOT TO COME OUT. AL: LEVIS UNDER PRESSURE, SWALLOWED UP AT THE 18 YARD

LINE. KIRK: HE HAD SUCH COMPOSURE TO

HIS DECISIONS. AL: THE FINAL TIMEOUT, GOT TO

TAKE IT. 1:17, NO CHANCE.

KIRK: NOT JUST HIGHSMITH AND WATT, THE ROOKIE HAS HAD A BIG GOT IT THERE. NOT TRYING TO DO IT — THAT WAY.

>> Ian: A QUICK SNAP ON 2ND & 4.

JONES GETS. BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. JAMES HUDSON IN FOR THIS SERIES. I WONDER IF THEY HAVE SPECIFIC

PLAY CALLS THEY WANT DAJUAN ON THE THE FIELD FOR. IAN: NJOKU CATCHES IT AND THEY’LL HAVE TO USE ANOTHER

TIME-OUT AFTER THE LOSS OF ONE ON THE PLAY. REFEREE: TIME-OUT, CLEVELAND, SECOND OF THE HALF.

PRESSURE COMING IN AT THE QUARTERBACK. WATCH HIGH HAPPEN SMITH, HE GOT A PICK SIX IN THE FIRST GAME AND

READS IT PERFECTLY WITH NJOKU AND SOMEHOW THE BALL SNEAKS IN TO NJOKU’S BREADBASKET. IAN: COMING UP, VERIZON HALFTIME GET THE HELMET TO HELMET CONTACT, THE HELMET FALLS OUT.

IAN: GIVEN TO HUNT. HE’LL BE TWISTED DOWN. CAM HEYWARD, FIRST ONE THERE AND THEN GOT HELP THE END OF THE

PLAY. IT’S A LOSS OF TWO.

IT’S A LOSS OF TWO. CHARLES: THEY MISSED 97 WHEN HE

WASN’T ON THE FIELD, DIDN’T THEY? WHEN HE COMES IN THE GAME HE’S A ONE MAN BERMUDA TRIANGLE WHEN

YOU RUN THE FOOTBALL. THERE’S LAWSON, THE DEFENSIVE

WHERE TO GO. KEVIN: IT’S FIRST AND 10. CONNER GRABBED FROM BEHIND! TAKEN DOWN, HIGHSMITH BROUGHT

HIM DOWN HARD, LOSING TWO AND BACK NEAR THE 45 OF ARIZONA. OFF THE TWO EDGES, THAT’S A FORMIDABLE COMBINATION. T.J. COMING OFF THE BACK SIDE AND HIGHTOWER — HIGHSMITH RIGHT

I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW IMPRESSIVE THAT IS WHAT HE’S ABLE TO DO. KEVIN: THIRD DOWN 4. HERE THEY COME!

HIGHSMITH. TRENT: THAT’S TWO PLAYS NOW THAT

ON THE OTHER SIDE. HIGH SMITH WILL COME OFF THE

EDGE. CONNER LOOKS TO HIS LEFT THEN GOES TO THE RIGHT TO DOUBLE-TEAM T.J. WATT AND HIGH SMITH JUST

RUNS RIGHT AROUND AND GETS THE SACK.

KEVIN: HIGH SMITH GET HIS FIRST SACK IN FOUR GAMES.

HE HAD HAD NOTHING OVER THE LAST THREE.

TWO, THREE YARDS. KEVIN: FIRST DOWN AND GOAL.

FAKE TO TO CONNER. HERE COMES THE RUSH, DOWN HE T.J. WATT, HIS LEAGUE-LEADING 14 LEAVITT SACK.

— 14TH SACK. TOUCHDOWN YOU HAVE TO THINK AS THE OFFENSIVE LINE THAT THE BALL IS COMING OUT QUICK AND

CARDINALS. THAT SHOWS YOU WHAT THE PENALTY WAS ON, MAKING IT 7-4. HIGHSMITH HAS CONNER AROUND THE

WASTE AND FINALLY LEVELED THERE BY WALKER. THIRD QUARTER, DWINDLING DOWN. BENGALS HAD TO COME BACK TAKING

IT TO OVERTIME LAST WEEK IN WHAT WAS A WIN OVER THE VIKINGS. CAN THEY WORK THEIR MAGIC THIS TIME IN A DIVISION MATCHUP ON

THE ROAD? BROWNING, FEELING THE PRESSURE

HE GOES DOWN. ALEX HIGHSMITH!

HE IS TOO FAST. >> Todd: THIS IS WHY MIKE TOMLIN YOU HAVE GREAT WIDEOUTS BUT CINCINNATI’S PASS OFFENSE IS AT

THEIR BEST WITH FOUR AND FIVE GUYS OUT AND NOT THREE GUYS OUT. >> Noah: THEY HAVE BEEN WILLING TO TAKE THE SHOTS DOWN THE FIELD, WE WILL SEE IF AT SOME POINT THEY LET BROWNING LET IT

LOOSE. BROWNING, FIRES.

IT IS INTERCEPTED. ALEX HIGHSMITH TAKES IT AWAY. THE STRETCH. >> Todd: HERE IS THE COUNTER BY

PITTSBURGH. T.J. WATT IS GOING TO GET EXTRA

ATTENTION. WATCH.

T.J. IS GO TO GET ATTENTION BY TWO GUYS AND HIGHSMITH ENDS UP READING THE QUARTERBACK’S EYES AND FALLING RIGHT INTO IT FOR

THE INTERCEPTION. THESE TWO GUYS ARE AS GOOD OF A ATTACK THAT AREA. >> Chris: AGAIN, A REMINDER THAT

ZAY FLOWERS, DOWN TODAY, SO HUNTLEY, UNDERSTANDABLY, JIM: ON SECOND AND 10. THEY GOT HIM FOR A SECOND TIME

IN THIS GAME. THIS TIME IT’S HIGHSMITH. HE HAD SEVEN SACKS DURING THE SEASON, SECOND MOST TO WATT.

SEASON, SECOND MOST TO WATT. TONY: YOU SEE, WE TALKED ABOUT GETTING AFTER JOSH ALLEN, THIS IS MAN-TO-MAN COVERAGE WITH A

HELPER ON THE INSIDE. HIGHSMITH WHO HAS BEEN

OUTSTANDING. HE IS THE ONE WHO CAN GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A T.J. WHAT THE AND SO MANY PRESSURES WITH MILES
