0:14.3 | All right welcome to Sunday Night Free Style. I am senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson. I'm here with |
0:19.9 | senior writer Frank Schwab and Frank. I'll tell you what when the game is on the line, you gotta have a go-to |
0:27.4 | play and a go-to player. Cooper Rush throwing a back corner fade 50-50 ball in a Sunday Night |
0:36.4 | Cime time game. Apparently that's what we do now. Yeah, just the way the Cowboys drew it up |
0:43.6 | at the beginning of the season, right? Right. I mean that had to be, I couldn't believe it, when |
0:50.3 | when of all, you know, you and I sat and we talked a little bit before we jumped on here about |
0:55.4 | just the key plays there, the Zeke, you know, the catch and run by Zeke to get that first down |
