stretch. coach will tell you there is nothing easy. go to the last play again. clock is in here. 14. >> cris: so the fumble ultimately goes out of bounds. >> al: when they re-spot it, they wind it. that's what they did at that point. not even sure that the ravens knew they had another play at that point. doubt it would have mattered with six seconds or whatever. fumble forward, out of bounds. bring the ball back. they spot it and wind the clock. that is the rule on that particular play. so coming up next it will be the volkswagen postgame report, right after these messages from your nbc station.

play after play. how do you describe that? put it into context. >> they're really, really good. it's fun. i am the luckiest quarterback in the league to have the linemen i have and to have all the weapons that i have. >> i know you just said shazier was with you. you had to play without him. he is your friend. he is your teammate. what do you want to tell him right now? >> we didn't play without him. he was out here with us. we know it. we love you, ryan. we know you're watching and rooting for us. buddy, we love you so much. this one was for you, bud. >> the very beginning, first play of the game. tackle by nix. he had the number 50 t-shirt on. they all did. you hear it at the end of the game too. images from ben roethlisberger. a night that ryan shazier was on everyone's mind here in pittsburgh. steelers are the north champs. patriots here next week. they play at miami on the monday nighter. from the pittsburgh perspective. if they neat new england and houston on christmas day, they

(ding) time! sorry, it's a tandem bicycle.

what? what?! as long as sloths are slow, you can count on geico saving folks money. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. some othr guyz try to fool you with a burger that's more bun than beef. that's it? but wendy's baconator with six strips of bacon and more than twice the beef of those bread burgers is the real deal. so head to wendy's and taste why the baconator isn't just delicious, it's deliciously different.

this is a blitz. they throw a slant to dez. he caught it. a block from beasley. into the end zone. there is your big play. prescott claps his hands. has the ball. throws it over the middle. he is ready to go. nothing but blue shirts around him. touchdown, 81 yards. >> next sunday night. dallas. we'll talk about that in a second. we need a postscript to this game, though. highly emotional night start to finish. steelers almost lost for the first time in their 85-year history in a home game leading by 14 or more.

win at the end. high drama. now they look ahead to new england next week, the potential number one seed. but put a button on this one tonight. >> i can't help but think of ben roethlisberger. he was one of the first guys to go see ryan shazier, who is lying in the hospital bed. ben said, when he walked in the room shazier did this, and got a big hug from him. and he said, i can't tell you how much he uplifted me, which allowed me to go back to the pittsburgh steelers team and uplift them. and my goodness gracious, for ryan shazier to be sitting in that bed watching this gut check for the pittsburgh steelers. had to be the thrill -- >> right. tremendous. we're all thinking about him, praying for him. hopefully all turns out well in the end. the team did it for him in the end. to the west coast. oakland. cowboys living on the edge. needed a win against washington. got a win against the giants today, even though it wasn't as easy as the final score made it look like.

they go into oakland next week with still a chance at a wild card. oakland, even though they lose to kansas city. a chance at a wild card. >> a week away after that. and aaron rodgers, uh oh, here he comes back. there is a lot of meat left on this nfl bone as we head for the playoffs. >> season coming to an end. thursday night football, deserve -- denver at indianapolis and sunday night to oakland. taking on the cowboys. this one, 39-38. the steelers win it in a thriller! coming up next, except on the west coast, it is your local news. al michaels for cris collinsworth and michele tafoya, the entire sunday night gang saying good night from heinz field in pittsburgh.

how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges.

the steelers win it in a. they have been fun to watch over the last couple of weeks and that's because they've found their franchise quarterback.

welcome to xfinity sports sunday. i'm fallon smith alongside my pal, lorenzo nil. we're going to get to the 49ers in just a minute, but first, we're going to have to talk about the oakland raiders. oh, my goodness, they had a chance to take over first place in the afc west. instead, they get embarrassed in kansas city. how in the world do you not show up for a big game like this? >> this was a big loss for the oakland raiders. they had the tiger by the tail today. go into kansas city, a hostile environment, but you've got to find a way to win. a team that has lost six straight games. l.a. was able to take care of business today. you had a chance for a two-way tie. today the raiders couldn't get it done. >> they've had multiple chances this season. guess what? they haven't shown up. the raiders have not won at arrowhead since 2012 and that drought would continue after today. rough day for the silver and black's offense, especially right here because of amari

cooper. he reinjured his ankle. he would miss the rest of the game. and, well, maybe he shouldn't have come back so quickly. shouldn't have been blocking right there. >> there is a play right there. you've got to chop block, go ahead and cut. legs go got in the way. >> the next play, to add insult to injury. gets hit by chris jones. ball's up for grabs and terence mitchell ends up with it. >> what a disaster. crabtree tacking. it doesn't matter. you tackle the offensive guy. now you're playing defense. >> that would set up a chiefs field goal. split the defense and powers in for the 13-yard touchdown and just like that it's 26-0 kc. raiders trying to mount a comeback and they see beast mode marshawn lynch up the middle. what did you see there? >> man on man, everyone gets their block. marshawn lynch gets into the secondary. walks in the end zone. this is what you've got to do.

setting up the defense there. great job there by marshawn lynch running the ball there. >> recovering an onside kick, carr hooks up -- a two point conversion to get within 11. but that is as close as they would get the game will all but end right here with a carr interception. yikes. and the raidsers, they would go on to lose 26-15. a huge blow to their playoff chances. now this is all on the offense. they were shut out for three quarters. they punted six times. had two turnovers in those three quarters and derek carr had just 56 passing yards in three quarters of play. after the game, carr took the blame. >> it sucks. it wasn't good enough. and you put it all on me. don't you blame one coach, one player, it's all my fault. preparation was good. but it was not good enough. not even close.

>> our fox game changer, provides pdf solutions for all of your document needs. the raiders didn't have a solution for kareem hunt. he had not scored a touchdown since week three. he had one today against oakland. he carved up oakland's defense. also surpassing the 1,000 yard mark no the season. he is second in the league "new york post" -- most rushing yards. we expected this offense to be lights out and light up the scorecar scoreboard. is it safe to say this offense has been the most disappointing thing about the oakland raiders' season so far. >> when you look at the offense, we understand that offense entertains and defense wins championships. when you look at what happened today, two turnovers. led for the kansas city chiefs. jump ball at this point.

michael grab tree's got to turn into a defend? make sure he tackles. this offense three or four weeks ago against kansas city, they put up 30. the first three quarters we got nothing out of them. this game was over before it started. they didn't show up for three quarters. you got nothing out of the offense. the defense have been playing better than the offense. believe it or not, this year the defense is playing better. >> who is to blame? >> it starts at the top. jack del rio will tell you that. he's been a head coach. he's been a defensive coordinator. it starts at the top. you've got del rio's got to understand that he has to hold accountable, he's the one who said -- made the defensive calls. he's the one who fired his assistant. you've got to look at the offense. every man to himself, carr included, offense has to step up. these men are underperforming.

the highest offensive line in the national football league. carr said it's bad, we didn't get it done, to collectively this team right now is not a playoff team. even if they try to limp into the playoffs, if you see they're not going to be effective becausener is a disconnect somewhere. >> safe to say they don't deserve to be in the playoffs, even though they technically have a chance. >> we understand they have a chance. if you get in, you get in. here's the thing, you've got to look at the way this team is playing. they're inconsistent on offense, inconsistent at times on defense. you see pagano's done a good job at getting the defense to play better. giving up too many runs and too many big plays. offensively, this is the achilles heel for this team. got to do a better job of getting the offense lined up and getting some wins. >> they have a much more talented roster offensively. we've got to take a break.

it's amazing the difference a franchise quarterback can make. garoppolo and the 49ers get their second straight road win tonight. we'll have highlights and reaction next. don't go anywhere. my name is valerie decker and i'm a troubleman for pg&e. i am a first responder to emergencies 24 hours a day, everyday of the year. my children and my family are on my mind when i'm working all the time. my neighbors are here, my friends and family live here,

so it's important for me to respond as quickly as possible and get the power back on. it's an amazing feeling turning those lights back on. be informed about outages in your area. sign up for outage alerts at pge.com/outagealerts. together, we're building a better california. well, before it was even founded, a french teenager, bienville, scared away a british warship with just a story. and great stories kept coming. [trumpet playing] some make you move to jazz, funk and bounce.

some of our stories aren't quite as straightforward. blocked by the saints! [crowd roaring] while others prove that great things can happen... even on a monday night. cause for three hundred years, great stories have started the same way. one time, in new orleans. [crowd applause] welcome back to xfinity sports sunday. 49ers in houston facing the texans. san francisco brought out the boom box. it was good luck last week, and, well, it worked again today. tied at 3-3. to the outside and hello. two-yard touchdown. 49ers on top 10-3. >> you like to see that. a guy fight for a contract. sticks his nose in there. uses his speed and gets in for a touchdown. >> p.j. yates in as quarterback. over the middle for touchdown. what happened here? >> one of the best receivers in

the league. nice young receiver. trying to keep up with him. he's too fast, too quick. >> yates with the play fake. >> there goes that man. >> he retakes the lead. perfect pitch and catch. >> there he is. this guy can get it. he's a flat-out burner. they're playing too deep there. over the top. just didn't get there. >> later in the third. gap low with a beautiful throw over the middle to seller. seller does the best. and look, cellic w -- >> you know what, that quarterback loves that tight end. >> [ inaudible ] >> he was huge on the -- >> take care of the man. the guy had a 60-something yard reception. give him the touchdown. go ahead, jimmy g. >> before that 26-16.

their third win of the season. garoppolo now a perfect 2-0 as a starter for the 49ers. not -- they've scored more points and racked up more -- let's hear from the winning qb jimmy g. >> i mean, i've only been here for a short time so i don't know what has changed or what hasn't, but, you know, i little bit of momentum with us right now and we need to keep bullocking away day by day and keep getting better. we just have to keep get better and better and good things will happen. >> no surprise jimmy g. is our he's all that player. which is brought to you locally by park city utah. yes, all that. jimmy was all that sunday. 20 of 33 for a career high 344 yards through the air with a passer rating of 92.2. now low, garoppolo got off to a slow start but he settled in.

what impressed you the most about his performance today? >> i like the young fell low and how he takes command of the huddle. he knows where he's going with the ball. you love what cal shanahan is doing with this team. you watch what he's doing, he goes through the progressions and found goodwin now. 106 yards. last week, 99 yards. a guy he's believing is his security blank. he found his tight end. the big boy, gronkowski. jimmy g. knows the tight end is the security blanket. he knows where to go with the ball. he's got the quick release. i like this guy. he's showing that is he is and could be, i'm not going to say yet, a franchise quarterback. >> still a small sample size. you're not going to label it that. isn't this just great for the 9 49ers' fans. they have something to look forward to. >> i'll tell you what how great

it is, too, fallon. this guy went from a second round pick. look at this guy as a first. you can get two firsts maybe a first and a second. all you're doing is adding value and i think john lynch, you've got to give him, a guy i played with, doing a great job at gm. now a player, now in the front office. they are doing a great job of bringing the talent. this team are building in the right direction. >> a lot of fans wanted to draft the quarterback. we have to take a break. when we come back. it's what hdtv was made for. a great finish to to a crazy game in buffalo. that's next. we'll be right back.

and nissan rogue play of the day, take on the unexpected with nissan's available safety shield

technologies. innovation that excites. shawn mccoy goes dashing through the snow for the game winning touchdown in in overtime to beat the -- i did that. now here's the thing, though, i cannot believe all the fans out there who braved the snow. but as a player, what in the world is that like playing in all of that dang snow? >> fallon, it's horrible. look at my fingers here. i remember getting it all jammed up. look at that thing. zoom in there, how bad that things is. we were in in cleveland, 14 below zero -- tells me, we're in the huddle, i look back and we're getting ready to run the play. he's like, i can't feel my hands. he wanted me to run the ball. no, that's not happening. it's absolutely brutal. every time you get hit, it feels like bones are going to break. >> linebackers don't like tackling. so that's the good news. anyway, let me show you

something funny. this is freaking ridiculous and it happened in this game. so we're going to show you. it's adam vinitiari. we aren't going to show it? he was on to make a p.a.t., right? hopefully tie the game and finish in overtime as he did. they call a time-out. all hands on deck. they're trying to clear away, clear a path for him to nail it, which he eventually did. the eagles clinched the nfc title today but it came at the expense of their franchise quarterback. carson wentz tried to make a play in the end zone. he goes down and unfortunately, reports say it is a torn acl. he's out for the season. this is to remind you of what happened last year with derek carr and all of these injuries period this year. >> yeah, saw this play right

here. the next play he goes in and throws the touchdown. he throws the touchdown on the next play to go up on that, but you saw him limping, you saw that -- that's just tough for a guy like that. this guy was arguably going to be the mvp this year. it's unfortunate because this team right there were streaking in the right direction. you look at what philadelphia's been able to do with young carson wentz. i like this team a lot. >> and the raiders play the eagles in two weeks. did their chances just get better? >> no question. >> all right. i hope you guys enjoyed the show. "sunday night football" is going to be the raiders and the cowboys right here on xfinity sports bay area. nbc bay area. we'll see you there. hopefully you enjoyed the show. i'm fallon smith. this is xfinity sports sunday. have a good night. who are these people?

we hide his identity. he says he only recently has been able to talk to his friends about this case, and even they are surprised at this verdict. >> if i was not a juror on this trial, i'd probably be thinking the same way, why did you let him go free? but, again, the reason was they could not prove it was that he intentionally killed her. and through all the evidence, i really think there was just a freak accident. >> he says the prosecutors were not able to convince him and the other jurors that the defendant, jose ines garcia zarate, set out to kill kate steinle. when the jury went into deliberations, he personally quickly came to a decision against a first degree or second-degree murder conviction. his biggest question about manslaughter was about the word brandishing. did garcia zarate wave the gun in a clintoning manner or in

anger? he says the prosecution did not present any credible proof that he was threatening anyone with that gun. he says he and his fellow jurors simply made a decision based on the evidence they saw. >> are you comfortable with your decision? >> i am comfortable with my decision. whatever they showed us, they presented to us, yes, i'm -- i can put my head on the pillow and sleep well and think that i made the right decision. >> reporter: now, the verdict has, of course, become politically charged. during his weekly sunday address, president donald trump brought up the trial. now, i asked him about some of the political fallout since. he tells us more about that coming up on nbc bay area news at 11:00. reporting live in san francisco, i'm sergio quintana, nbc bay area news. >> look forward to it, sergio. thanks very much. just in, the me too campaign has reached the white house. 3 of 16 womening president trump

we may begin to see the upper level winds bring high altitude smoke towards the bay area. not expected to affect things at ground level but it will make for a pretty dramatic sunset tomorrow as the smoke tries to drift up from the south. the rainfall projection through the 20th, nothing going. the high pressure holding its ground. weakening just slightly to allow rain in the pacific northwest. unfortunately where we're concerned, still strong enough really to limit any significant chances of rain right now. wednesday's system is the best that things look. as we move to the third week of december possibly without a lot of rain. so seven-day forecast for san francisco, more of the same. cool mornings. mid to upper 60s for highs and across the valleys the next couple of days, near 730 and dry through next weekend. possibly through the middle of the following week. this dry december so far a record pace. looks like it's going to continue to the 20th. >> all right. rob, thanks very much. well, he's being compared to

49er legends and so far the new quarterback seems to be living up to the hype. >> he's off to a great start. >> he is. >> your sports is next.

what's going on, everybody? at the nissan sports desk. it's been a disappointing season for the oakland raiders, but believe it or not, entering the day, the raiders controlled their own destiny and had a chance to take control of the afc west. but here's the problem, they were playing the chiefs at arrowhead where they haven't won since 2012 and the offense forgot to show up. raiders and kansas city part of a three-way tie in the afc. kareem hunt punches it in from one yard out. he finched with 116 rushing yards. chiefs up 10 after that. second, the raiders up 13. looking to get back in it. derek carr hit by chris jones. the ball up for grabs and

terence mitchell comes up with it. it will lead to a feel goal. twaurts the defense and powers in for the 13-yard touchdown. nobody saw this coming. raiders would score in garbage time and lose 26-15. a huge blow to their playoff chances. >> it sucked. it wasn't good enough. and you put it all on me. don't you blame one coach, one player. it's all my fault. preparation was good, but it was not good enough, not even close. >> well, the 49ers much more exciting to watch today. they were in houston taking on the texans. they brought out the boom box once again. it was good luck last week. it worked again today. second quarter, game tied at three. carlos hyde takes the handoff, bounces to the outside. two-yard touchdown. 49ers on top.

jimmy garoppolo finds a wide open guarantee selic for the score. he is now 2-0 as a 49ers' starter. the 49ers win their third game of the season, 26-16 the final. >> i mean, i've only been here for a short time so i don't know exactly what has changed or what hasn't, but, you know, i think we've got a little bit of momentum with us right now and i think we need to keep plucking away day by day and keep getting better. that's what it's all about, especially this time of year. we only have three games left. >> crazy snow game in buffalo. this one would go to overtime, tied at 7-7. dashing through the snow, for a 21 yard touchdown. mccoy finished with 156 yards rushing. marking the 1,000 yard mark for

the fifgt time. why not celebrate with a snow angel? taking on -- game tied at 0-0 in double overtime. stanford steals the ball from indiana's griffin dorsey and he finds the ball for the back of the net. the cardinal win. how cool is that? last week it was the women and now the men have a national title. a feat no other division one school has accomplished. it's the men's third straight national championship. get this, the stanford cardinal now have 150 national titles as a schools passing ucla for most championships in ncaa history. i'm not happy about that, but congratulations to the cardinals. that's it for sports. >> we're not quite done with sports. he may be out for a bit with an injured ankle, but steph curry is still making a big difference on the basketball court. take a look at this. the warrior superstar showed up at this high school yesterday during the varsity basketball's praelkt.

he gave the team new uniforms and shoes after he learned they had to use old mismatched uniforms last season. the kids quickly tried on their new gear and took pictures. the team mascot is warriors. what else? >> how appropriate. what a fun surprise, those guys. >> steph curry is in the gym. >> working out with them and bearing gifts. i love it. >> thanks very much for watching up. we're going to be back in one hour at 11:00. hope you can join us then. bob, i don't know where this van is going, but this guy is in a hurry. uh, i was in a hurry this morning. barely had time for breakfast. growl.
