points on the board. and tonight, they sort of flip that on its ear defensively and started attacking. and you end up with this score, 43-7. you wonder how good this team might be. >> al: a bobble ldp. that was hubbard. in around here, pouncey is out of the game. and you saw the snap. you saw it with your own eyes. >> cris: i've seen it before, where the center thinks that the quarterback is under center. you know. that's just been terrible tonight. >> al: butt fumbles come in all

into the kansas city bench, around the 35 or so yard line. even farther up. make it the 38 yard line. so, let's take a look around the national football league. week four. ryan and jones, alluded to by michelle. 300 passing yards, 5 hur receiving yards. buffalo, shocking new england, 16-0. patriots haven't been shut out at home, since '93. brady comes back next week. undefeated teams, denver, philly, and minnesota. and the other winless team, cleveland. >> cris: you know who the mvp of the league is right now? >> al: let me think. that goes to the outside here. well, i mean, ryan is in the neighborhood, right? >> cris: that's who i was going to say. he was player of the month in

and this one. and 300 of them to julio jones. and i don't know how the player of the month couldn't be considered the mvp after that was his next game following winning that award. >> al: second down and eight. and bursting through the middle, is spencer ware. and spencer ware will get taken down from behind at about the 15 yard line. vince williams, chases him down, the 14 yard line. >> cris: don't let me ever say vince williams lacks speed again. watch him get this guy. you have spencer ware, who is a legitimate player. and then, it's going to be vince williams, the only one back there and he caught him. >> al: when did you say he

>> al: i have to go back and look at the tape. ware had the fumble early on. three in two games. and now, he's got it high and tight. >> cris: we have to look for the whistle again. that's perfect form there. >> al: williams, able to get him from behind. the clock kicking down to the two-minute warning. there's a flag for interference. arms around chris conley. that will take us to the

the call from ron tolbert. >> referee: before the pass was thrown, automatic penalty, first down. this is the two-minute warning. >> al: it is. off and on rain tonight. but the steelers reign at home.

>> al: coming up shortly, the michele on the field. bob, tony, mike, break it down

and one more time, to markus wheaton, which made up for the one last week. and mike tomlin gives a hand shake. a little fist bump with todd haley. and hit the showers. >> al: 1:58. on the draw. and ware takes the ball to the 5 yard line. most games with five or more t.d. passes, drew brees, who had a comeback win for the saints in staying. peyton manning had nine. >> cris: remember when ben had back-to-back six-touchdown games. >> al: we did one of them.

touchdown games, as i recall. cris: vince williams making ?>d another tackle out there. just a comfortable night. all of the what ifs about this team coming in, and oh, they look like on defense, and the two signal callers are gone. and le'veon bell, how long will it take him? >> al: now, the kansas city fan base goes, what happened? tomlin takes his team, keeps them right here, to take on the jets. they go to miami. they have new england coming in on october 23rd. and the chiefs will have a week off, regroup, and andy's group will go to oakland on the 16th

>> cris: that's no picnic. >> al: no. not these days. fourth and goal. they take a time-out. they had too many -- guys in the backfield. trying to line up to the right side. and alex smith has stayed in the whole way. you're wondering who the backup quarterback is, it's the well-traveled nick foles. that's our match-up. "football night in america" will begin at 7:00 eastern time. the giants will play the vikings. and then, the packers off this week. they seemed to get everything back together, certainly offensively, last week against detroit. the giants and the packers from lambeau.

"saturday night live," you see any of that last night? >> al: i missed it. >> cris: oh, it was good. >> al: what are you doing up that hour? >> cris: west coast time. >> al: i got you. fourth and goal. in the end zone. that's caught for a touchdown by travis kelce. so, the kansas city chiefs, with two late touchdowns, to at put something on the board. >> cris: harrison drops underneath it. and smith moves right. and smith was able to sneak it in.

happened. >> al: santos will attempt the conversion here. and that makes it 43-14. the steelers, you look at their whole schedule. they never leave the eastern ti zone. never. there it is. the whole schedule, being played out for you. even indianapolis, which used to be -- would go to standard for a while. they're on eastern full-time. i don't get that schedule. not that schedule. >> cris: you don't want that one. >> al: don't want that one.

kansas city tonight. they did not allow 27 points in a game. two days short of a full year. they had 29 at halftime. came out opening quarter on camera. telling what a great defense this is. andy reid and bob sutton, second in points allowed only to seattle. they have big ben tonight. who are you voting for? >> al: matt ryan. >> cris: there you two. >> al: go for villanueva, after tomlin talked about him. >> cris: yeah.

they can pick this one back to the locker room. we can begin to think about the green bay/giants match-up. >> cris: congratulations to kevin green. got the hall of fame ring tonight. down there, reminiscing about >> al: congratulations to melissa horton in the booth tonight. almost had to put her on p.u.p. >> cris: yeah. ?w>>ctive for the entire game. and that's going to wrap it up from heinz field. ben, 300 yards, 5 t.d.s. volkswagen postgame report coming up on the other side of
