line. >> cris: this is tough. that's the reason i was saying a screen. i didn't feel like that spot on the field would feel very good about it he. >> al: if nothg else, they'll take the play clock all the way down and call a time-out. so you put elliot in. pretty much cement the game if you make it. if you miss it the rams will have only about 57 yards to go. >> cris: does have a 61-yarder to his name.le he canarly make it that far.>> al: he kicked the game-winning field goal againsth giants last year.s let' to michele. >> michele: in pregame, elliot n convertee in this direction.ed he also two in this direction. both wide left. the kick would have been good from 62. he told me 56 is his normal range.ss

mi a couple. but made one in this direction.a one thing in his favor. no wind tonight. >> cris: it feels like every onf he decisions that doug de peon made last year worked out. it feels like the tide is completely flipped. huge kick right here. >> al: 53-yard attempt. cameron johnston to hold it. the kick will be wide to t right. the rams, 68 seconds. no time-outs. they'll have to go 57 yards.

years can just flip flop on you. how everything went right for the eagles a season ago. theverything goes right fo. can they polish this off, the comeback that would be just amazing. >> al: second and four at the 39. goff. that's caught. inside the 35. it can't get out of bounds.s everett pi the first down. got to get it to the line. probably spike it heh 33 seconds. let's e what goff will do.ki ng a lot of time. no spike obvioly. goff will fire.ev erett is going to make the catch. he'll be out of bounds at the 2i yard line th 20 seconds. the other thing is -- saw it the other night in the chargers game. do you think mcvay wou go for two?

>> cris: i hink he would do anything. there's nothing you could say at the end of the sentence i wouldn't go, yeah. >> al: you never know. 26 yard line. pacing. >> cris: a lot of times you might take a shot at tdle of the field. they are playing the tampa two defense sitting there with a safety field.middle of the these checkdowns will be the il formula for a e here. . al: goff to the outside gurley, can he get out of bounds? he can't. maddox makes the tackle. 1 11-10. got to spike it here. six seconds. he leaves himself one play. man, oh, man. ndgurley doesn't go out ofs, i don't know. >> cris:ouple of times that drive they had a chance to get ouof bounds. it's all about the clock. that's all it is. now it's all about one play. gurley can barely make it off e field.

he's a wreck. now you just have to throw it up in one quarter of the end zone and hope. >> al: doug pederson calling a time-out. hodge comes in with rley on the bench. barring a defensive foul, this will probably the last play of the game. some collapses at tennessee. led 17-3. 2:58 left in the third got beat in overtime against the panthers. that w8. a killer. 10 that was at home as the panthers won it 21-17. they led 30-13. you have four seconds. >> cris: let's do a height comparison. they want to stay away from number 32. you are talking aboumaddox who is in the 5'10" range.

you will end up seeing them play right across the goal line right ere. and just not give up anything deep. >> al: five guys at the goal li . rams send five receivers down field. goff to the end zone. too high. intended for josh reynolds. with no flag, that's the end of the game. >> cris: they went after the smaller maddox. good idea.ul cod not get it executed. >> al: the philadelphia gles. big underdogs. foles at quarterback. they pull off a huge win.
