6:16 pm
this month now it is a recent cool weather and we are a little below average in terms of temperature for the month. after tomorrow and wednesday and thursday we well be at or a little above average again. these are the over fight lows and late tonight it will get to 40 and then start to inch back up. tomorrow night's lows will be about 50 and even fairly mild too after that. it will get chillier as we get to the end of the week, but not as cold as it is now. look at that sky in boston. it has been tremendous today. it is so clear with great visibility. the wind is around to the west, southwest. that's a warmer weather wind direction and that will help us out a whole lot. we are in the 40s at this time, but in terms of low temperatures tonight, we will not see the teens that we saw last night and 20s in some of the suburbs. we will still see a lot of 30s, and boston is probably in the low 40s. but these are the current temperatures around the area
6:17 pm
it is much, much milder and with everything moving from west to east some of that mild air can arrive tomorrow. the temperatures will reach the 60s in most locations. it will be breezy. while we are mainly clear off to the north and west there are some clouds. some of the clouds will come in later tonight and into tomorrow morning. that's actually the beginning of the warmer air. as we check this out you will see the clouds around. they may thin at times during the midday and tomorrow afternoon. it is all due to the approaching cold front and ahead it is the milder west and southwest wind. this front doesn't carry much of a punch. we will barely go south of us. it will allowance to be a little cooler than tomorrow. it is no where flier as chilly as today. and thursday we will wind it right back in the warmer air again. all that is reflected in the next seven days. 60s for tomorrow and 50s
6:18 pm
we are on the cold side now and we go back to the warmer side tomorrow to be repeated on thursday. then a front comes through and it turns chillier on friday, but that doesn't last either. it is starting out chilly and warming up for the midday and afternoon hours. there are a couple showers coming in later sunday or sunday evening. right now i would say for the patriots game against the jets it will be rather mild and temperatures around 60 degrees. see you later tonight, i'm meteorologist harvey 11 in order. >> and now sports center 5 with mike lynch. ed: we were asking oardzs -- >> we were asking ourselves what did they pull on? it was a swinging gate play. the element of surprise is key. as you can see right at the top here when the patriots had sniffed this thing out you either call timeout or take a delay of game. obviously the patriots have it all down here.
6:19 pm
one interesting thing is here is one eligible receiver and here is another. i could never be harvey leonard. the two end men on the line of scrimmage. let me show you a play from a youth football game where the center is eligible and catches a touchdown pass. watch it right here. he is the end man on the line of scrim men and he goes down the middle of the field. that's one of the off shoots it works. here is another play that we are going to show you. this is probably what the colts were trying to do. unsphort natalie they were -- unfortunately they were not in shotgun. everybody is on the far left and that's what the colts were probably trying to do. obviously they didn't have the people of the line of scrimmage. the patriots were well prepared for it. they should have called delay of game or timeout. here is bill belichick and chuck pagano. >> the special teams group works really hard. we expect it to be a gadget game and a kicking game and some kind of a fake and fake
6:20 pm
punt and fake field goal. they went on the swinging gate-type play and went over to the over shift and cover the inside part and reacted well to it. it is a good head up play by our punt return unit. >> i didn't do a good enough job and alignment wise we were not aligned up quickly. a exiewn location break down -- and a communication break down between the quarterback and the snapper and that's all on me. i take full responsibility on that and i didn't do a good enough job of getting that communicated to the gries. >> the other was this play by jaime collins. he knows the holder and looks at the kicker. when he looks at the center to get the ball, that's when collins takes his time. notice when the offensive line men, watch how low they are. he hurdles right over and time itself perfectly and blocked
6:21 pm
the extra pr -- extra point. this could be one of the greatest defensive plays of all time. the timing is perfect. if it is off it is an off sides penalty against jam pea collins, but he is an athlete. >> they played pretty good. i thought they did a pretty good job in the run game. i thought they completed pretty hard. i to the our execution was off at times. it was a goodwin. glad we won. we have a quick turn around this week. a division game. it will be fun. >> it should be fun. the jets are 4-1, just one game behind the patriots. interesting game last night and a lot of plays you don't normally see in professional football. you see them in high school and pop warner, but none like you have seen last night. >> i thought the play was illegal. i thought you couldn't leap over or is that only if you touch the center then it is illegal? >> you can't use the center to vault over. >> so that adds another element to it.
6:22 pm
it has to be timed perfectly and you can't touch the center. >> and jaime collins was a triple jump champion and high jump champion in high school and was a great athlete. >> and it took great confidence. >> it came from watching hours and hours of film. >> the colts block low. >> he looks at the kicker and as soon as he looks at the center the snap is coming. he is like this all the time. when he goes like this the snap is coming. >> football 101 and weather 101. >> i am ready for weather now. >> coming up new on newscenter 5 at 11:00, how a marathon bombing survivor is helping a fellow amputee with a life changing gift. that's tonight at 11:00. >> ed and heather, the fbi called in a jet forced to land an alleged air raid. a man accused of choking a woman over a reclining seat. donald trump causing outrage
