fourth quarter has extend ted ts one out. 5:30 left in the third. titans have done nothing on offense, so the steelers have taken control of the game. mariota sacked by vince williams. he takes his team lead to a half dozen. >> cris: that was a -- on the part of demarco murray. watch him. here comes the pressure. he's looking the other way. that's as easy it gets for vince williams. what a good guy. didn't you enjoy visiting with vince williams? one of the things, he played for jimbo fisher at fsu, and mike tomlin, both those guys on the university of cincinnati staff, and he stayed they both preached the same thing. the standard of prois the stand. no excuses. this is our standard here. >> mike: hard hit on delanie walker in the middle of the feel by robert golden. walker two yards shy of the first down. pass caught t

good to see walker back in the game from earlier and back up after that hit. >> cris: one of these days i would love to see receivers -- hit him in the thigh, that's fine. i've some of the low blows, knee or lower, i don't think that's right. >> mike: that's going to be contact before lewan taylor can catch it. mike hilton was the one in coverage. >> referee: pass interference, defense, number 31. the ball will be placed at the spot of the foul. >> cris: look at that face. come on. the referees never mind if you give them a little bit with a smile on your face. >> mike: penalty on the steelers.

eight on the titans. to the 33. mariota chased by watt. throw its away. tackled by watt as well. another flag is down. this one back, you've got a hold on the one. >> cris: happens all the time, doesn't it? >> referee: holding. offense, number 60. ten yard penalty. replay first down. >> mike: ben jones the center. >> cris: this is what happens. we talk about it. when the quarterback scrambles out, you've got to hold, right? as an offensive lineman, you're grabbing that chest plate. it's like driving a car. if you get the chest plate, you'd be amazed how many bigger stronger guys you can control. that works great until the quarterback a bbandons you and they see you pulling that chest

plate back in and it's a holding penalty. >> mike: 3:57 to go. mariota is running to keep plays alive here. almost threw a fourth pick. coverage by sensabaugh. we talked about pittsburgh, all the road success, six road games, the most in the league. five road wins, the most in the league to this point. that means some time at home and some time with us too. green bay next sunday, so they get the break here from thanksgiving. to cincinnati. baltimore back here on a sunday. then that one that we're all looking at. new england, week 15. >> cris: i mean, yeah, we've got kansas city, right? kansas city. went to new england. got a win. jacksonville came here and beat the pittsburgh steelers. but you want to bet your hard earned money on -- kansas city i would throw in this fix in the afc. >> mike: you're looking for a third team. >> cris: i'm looking for a third and maybe a fourth.

>> mike: murray goes out of bounds. >> cris: jacksonville plays such great defense. they got five interceptions against ben roethlisberger here that day. some tipped balls and some excuse. all that kind of stuff. but there were a lot of interceptions that day. so that's a physical team that can run the football and you think okay, cold weather, you know, nasty conditions in the playoffs. could they come in and beat one of these two teams? maybe. but probably kansas city is that other team. >> mike: they're in the same boat as tennessee. now that you've won games, the games get bigger. the stage gets brighter. can you handle it? this is a big learning experience i will think. you would be better to say this than i am, cris. for tennessee to come on the road here tonight, experience this against a good team, and kind of walk away with now we understand the level we need to play at if we get to january as a division champ. >> cris: but the pro

keep raising the bar. like, other people, you know, get better, but nobody quite gets to that bar. when you have the consistency at the quarterback position and the consistency at the head coaching position and the offensive and defensive coordinator and special teams position, you know, you can just elevate your play and what you can do within an offense and so when you're in those big moments, and you get that weird look that you haven't seen and tom brady says hey, you remember last year in the playoff game, let's go to that little in cut that we did and everybody knows what he's talking about. >> mike: so tennessee has down the stretch, people coming from everywhere. dbs, backers. finally he's tripped up by l.t. walton.

going to roll some defensive linemen in. walton gets a sack. >> cris: you get a little pressure up the middle that time and then it was walton who cleaned it up. alualu right there trying to tackle the arm. mariota playing dodge ball. >> mike: back out to the rookie korea corey davis. we put up that schedule. a reminder of how enjoyable and fun. let me get the sked skpchedule what's going to be a win and what's going to be a loss. you see houston there. then after that arizona, san francisco. then they close with the rams and jaguars, so that will be easy. those are the two toughest games they have left the way they're playing. >> cris: how about pittsburgh's two losses? jacksonville and chicago? those are probably the only two on the schedule you go check and check before the season starts. there's nothing that cracks me

television trying to make those predictions. >> mike: but it's fun. >> cris: here's a really good news moment for the pit butsbur steelers. that's the play of coty sensabaugh. had that big interception. if they can add another corner. mike hilton looks like he's a real fine. joe haden should come back and be healthy for the playoff run. coty sensabaugh. we haven't even talked about william gay tonight. >> mike: pick number four. it's sean davis the safety chased by mariota. try to cut back down at the 22 yard line. and a four pick night. the defense sees all the guys scoring and celebrating. they're into their own celebration. >> cris: here we go. we've talked about this young man sean davis for the better

i think he's a special player. he was right behind there. he has great speed, under 4.5, a ra rarity for a safety and the ability to make big plays and big hits along with that coverage. dropping down in that lurk position. they have a lot of play makers on the back end, mike, that they really did not have going into the playoffs a season ago. >> mike: landry jones in. backup quarterback. roethlisberger's night is done. james conner will carry. we'll get to the 2:00 warning. four interceptions thrown by marcus mariota tonight. the most for the steelers defense is 20 years in a game. it's part of the reason pittsburgh is going to get to 8-2. extend their lead in the afc north to tennessee. learning experience for sure

under these big lights in pittsburgh. close game for a while. the steelers have put the hammer down here in the fourth. >> mike: steelers in control, 40-17. postgame reports coming um.

star of the game and we'll wrap this one up on the volkswagen postgame report. send you off to texas. get ready for dallas and philadelphia on sunday night. your football week, on friday night, this is a good one. titans all-time leading rusher like you've never seen him before. eddie george is the subject of a football life tomorrow at 9:00. only on nfl network. >> cris: talk about somebody who defined a franchise for a while. that is one tough son of a gun. kind of like this guy. >> mike: the titans teams there early on. of course 37 years in houston for the franchise. tennessee oilers for two years. they played in nashville. the titans now since 1999. the steelers get those four picks and five sacks. first time in 33 years they've had that in a game.

trying to think of anybody who -- i can't think of anyone. >> cris: i think i had a pulled hamstring. >> mike: oh, did you? >> cris: hey. those were good. that whole division was good back then. houston. they had cincinnati was good. cleveland was really good. should have gone to two super bowls. of course the heart break of the fumble and the drive up there. >> mike: pray for some footing. international break. we're back with a terrific match-up. north london darby, arsenal and tottenham. 7:30 a.m. eastern, nbc. get your weekend going there with nascar championship race in miami. sunday night football. notre dame/navy on saturday in south bend. a busy weekend here on nbc. and nbcsn.

prime and everywhere else we are tonight. >> cris: well, we talked about it. for dick lebeau, he toll me there's nobody like antonio brown. he turns people around. he has magical foot work. he goes up high and makes plays above the defense. good luck in man coverage if you're a rookie. then of course a world fous helmet catch. he's a remarkable guy. you look at the numbers that this guy has put up here letl huge night tonight. another night at the office for him. >> mike: try to get to 100 for a fifth straight year. >> cris: again. that wasn't even possible when i played. nobody got anywhere close to 100 catches. >> mike: a change of possession as the steelers took a couple of knees. the titans will t

head back to nashville. use this long break. come back on the other side of thanksgiving. taking on indianapolis on the road. houston back home. as you kind of size things up in the afc south, jacksonville game, week 17 down in nashville on new york eve could loom large in determining one, maybe a couple playoff teams in the afc. >> cris: this is one of the toughest of all spots. delanie walker had a key drop that could have really cut this game and made it very close. this is a good football team. this was a tough night. they're going to take a lot out of this. skb >> mike: tough for those guys on the tennessee side. so many of those guys have made it a tough place to play. there's going to be a lot of respect from the guys in the black and gold to go seek out

dick lebeau. >> cris: you can go to many franchises and he would be one of their all-time favorites. >> mike: a ton of respect. it's like the receiving line for tom brady. volkswagen postgame report coming up next. this has been thursday night football.

welcome to the volkswagen postgame report. >> antonio brown goes david tyree on the titans to end the night. a monster ten catch three touchdown night. as his business was sonic booming in pittsburgh tonight. for the pittsburgh steelers. the first member of the eight win club in the american football conference in 2017. rich eisen here for the postgame show here down on the field. heather cox moments ago with antonio brown. >> congratulations you tied a career high with three touchdowns including a circus catch one handed off the helmet. teammates came out.

we had a great performance. humble and thank you for the performance. >> tonight the most points you've scored owl yeaall year. what sparked this offensive breakout. >> we click a lot today in the red zone. all we need -- we made some big plays when we needed to. there's always room for improvement. >> boy, did you guys come out throwing 48 times. how much if at all did that have to do with facing dick lebeau? >> i don't know. anytime we're throwing the ball like that it's going to be a lot of point. ben is a hall of fame quarterback and he can make every throw. i'm grateful to be on the receiving end. >> great win at home. >> heather, thank you. antonio brown of the steelers, they get to 8-2. as rich said, first team to eight. new england will try to do that. taking on oakland in mexico city. you mentioned who else? kansas city has the only loss on philadelphia and that's where you guys will be ond

to watch the cowboys and the eagles, a game we've seen the last couple of years on sunday night. they've been dramatic games as well. >> both overtime games. i tell you, i got a chance to watch philadelphia. of course you watch them on television. and then you put on the game tape and you get to watch their defensive line. fletcher cogs and compa fletcher cox and company. it's easy to say carson wentz. he's been phenomenal. he's done a great job. that defense is a little overwhelming. we don't know if tyron smith is going to be able to play in the game. dak prescott basically is going to have to put this dallas cowboys team on his back and make some big plays for them if they're going to knock off these eagles. >> mike: we saw how atlanta's defensive line wrecked the game last week against dallas. they have to protect against this good philadelphia defense. thai they're really with their backs against the wall. as we said, a good week 11. good match-up of division leaders here tonight. pittsburgh pulls away and
