so they bring in michael smith, d.j.lliams comes back in. >> todd: the end of the play, after the slide, he was complaining helmet to helmet hit. i think that was a good no call. i think the defender tried to pull off at the end. >> brad: knowing they need two scores, they'll try to get one here and worry about the eight-point difference later. tejada hit a 23 hi, it's jimmy football here. nobody likes number 2. so we just upgraded you to number 1. introducing the bud light foozie! it's a foam finger. it's a can coozie. boom. whoa. s-stamp. it's the foozie! we love the foozie. thanks, bud light.
