the eagles touched it first. th.ball is loose and they d they are going to let it die around the 32. the falcons might have tried to touch it first because the ball is coming back in their wirection and an eagle gets in there and atlantnds up with the ba >> cris: now if it touches one of the falconslayers first anywhere in the process you are okay going after it. does it touch one of the falco players. the ruling on the field is a ball hit a member of the receiving teams foot ands a live ball recovered by the kicking team, atlanta's ball. >> al: that is trey sullivan. it will come back to atlanta.

they can't get there before the eagles get there. we have six falcons around the ball. six.s: >> c well, it is the returner's job to scream poison or whatever the code word is and let him know to get the heck out of there. but for whatever reason he didn't react to it. >> al: sullivan is the guy in g penalized.fi rst down the sidearm shot is incomplete. intended for jones. that is nate gerry. >> nate gerry is getng an opportunity to play. they are bringing pressure trying to knock them out of field goal range. that means something. he was a two-time 200 meter champ in high school and almost ran the ball down. >> al: played his college ball at nebraska, fifth round pick

last year. >> cris: you don't want to take a sack here because it drives you out of field goal range. this is an important sequence. >> al: the play clock at 1. and could ten. ryan fires. it is a nice catch made by sanu who has to reach back and grab it for a short gai that should take us to the fourth quarter. sanu winds up making his secondf catch he night, or did he? or did he? the clock has gone to zero. 10-6. philadelphia back after this. when in unfamiliar waterom hundreds of miles base--

sanu made the catch, or did he. the last catch of the third quarter. it could be challenged. if doug pederson wants to challenge he had had tthe wholek to decide if he wanted to or not. he said he did not want to. >> cris: if he won or lost it. >> al: third down and five and . ryan goes down heag down again. you have got fletccox comingsi >> off, defense number 96. lined up in the neutral zone. that five-yard penalty results in a first down. >> cris:isaster. >> al: they didn't challenge. it was a third down and five. >> cris: over the red line, a good call by the officials. that was go to drive the atlanta

falcons at least to the very border of field goal range with a huge sack and jim schwarz cannot believe it.g it is one thinto get an early ju to get a sack, but to lineup offside, that was a killer. >> al: especially after winning a challenge. instead they will go to third and five. i thall they needed.a fascinating strategy in that sequence. tevin coleman down to the 18 yard line. >> cris: it was just so tough with a whole quarter to go. if it were a slam dunk, i think doug pederson might have challenged it to make it a third and ten. because it wasn't and because it would have been the end of all challenges, i do not think he thought that it was wo. >> al: you are right. second down and five. from the 17 yard line.

ricky ortiz comes in as the fullback. he was in there a lot in the first se es. not much since. the ball is handed off and taken down is tevin colema third down and about four. >> cris: there we go. you know when they py the rocky music you hit a big down. >> al: ronald darby has come out of the game.av >> ito think they are going to rotate help over there to douglas but it does not look. like nioks like a blitz and a one-on-one opportu. >> al: ryan is going to throw and picked off at the 4 yard line by douglas. ryan clearly knowing darby is

east sit on anything underneath. and for whatever rson they have not played togeer during the course of the preseason and really showed on that one. >> al: third and inches.ho the toss to aglor coming around. the wide receiver. breaks a tackle.wn first and a lot more out to the 29 he goes. razzle-dazzle on a third and inches. >> cris: completely outflanked t om the beginning. there is just noough out there. you can see no tailback in there. nelson agholor, as he did at the end of last season becoming a big play threat on third down. agholor looked like a bust early on. they moved him into the slot. eight touchd tremendous turnaround and so much more confident. now probably the a receiver right now.

>> al: that is juggled and it is picked off.it is deion jones who comes away with the deflection and puts atlanta in prime shape at the 25 yard line. goedert couldn't hold on. jones had to come out of the game before cramping picks it off and atlanta is in siness. >> cris: tryg to see who that was.i ink it might be -- big hit there right on contact. deion jones takes him down. if that is 27, that ho it is. we have seen him have a penaltyr a week ago f a hit. that is perfectly clean. got his head out of there and nl danger of a nd still came up with the huge turnover. >> al: tevin coleman is the running back on first down. 10:30 to go in the fourth. ryan. caught at the 10. julio jones, big night for him

continues. jalen mills covering on the play. julio jones, seven catches in triple figures with 106 yards. >> cris: yeah. i like the young man right here. watching him in preseason, you kind of say he might have a e. little rol i think i would give him a bigger role. he was making huge hits all around the football. he will be fine. and there is a guy there that is awfully tough to cover in the zone defense, julio jos. >> al: ronald darby back in the game. coleman in the back with the fullback in the game. tevin coleman, he goes into the end zone. and the atlantfalcons have 01their first touchdown of8. you have the interception. followed by the touchdown. the falcons have the lead again. >> cris: instead of outside zone they go inside.

giving jay ajayi a chance. >> al: again and he can't go anywhere. that sets up a third dowand short. ticking down to 9:00 left in regulation. >> cris: yeah. and the atlanta falcons and manual countered witsly blitz. evg ybody knows what is goin on. when you get something that works, they know what the counter to that is. a said this is going to b game of adjustments. nobody does anything and puts it on tape to help you study. he made a nice adjustment there. >> al: third and four, corey clement in the backfield. ertz comes into the slot. foles fires, caught and a flag is down. for the moment agholor. that is the necessarrdage but a grasp of the helmet
