. >>> police in pittsburgh are investigating a random brutal attack on a teenager. and it was caught on tape. a teacher was walking in a downtown alley when six young men were walking the other way. suddenly one of the young men punches james adesberger in the face. he was knocked out and he hit his head on a curb. he was taken to a nearby hospital with cuts and bruises. police say they have identified three of the teenagers but not the one who actually hit the teacher. >>> also caught on tape, an extreme biker's failed attempt to make a dare devil jump. the biker cam vink was trying to jump a 68-foot canyon. unfortunately he loses control in mid air at the tail end of the jump and crashes to the ground. this happened in zion national park. zink survived the crash with just two bruised heels. >>> it's that time of the year. niemann marcus has released its christmas catalogue. it's definitely for 1% of the population. $345,000 will get you a dream sports car. a dinner for ten with the world's top chefs will cost you about a quarter of a million dollars or you can pay

. >> speaking of 3-3 teams, that is what the pittsburgh steelers hope to get to next week. meanwhile, the cincinnati bengals at home and first time done a "sunday night football" regular season in cincinnati and turns out to be a big game. the ravens, of course, lead in the division, but several impactful injuries for baltimore today. >> you talk about lardarius webb and ray lewis and haloti ngata and say that is their best player at every level of the defense. so as we see so many times and terrell suggs, of course, not being there as well. so the pittsburgh steelers with their injuries on the offensive line, can they get it going here after a slow start? cincinnati bengals losing to the dolphins and the browns in back-to-back weeks to kill their 3-1 start. a lot of questions in play next week. >> al: a first look at andy dalton and a.j. green. that is "sunday night football" from paul brown stadium a week from tonight. that is the story from here in houston, where green bay wins it 42-24. until next sunday, al michaels and cris collinsworth and michele tafoya, our entire

rg3, his first trip to pittsburgh. so far on the road redskins have won twice away from fedex field. they beat the saints in new orleans, the bucs in tampa so chris cooley will more than likely see some time at the tight end position on sunday. logan paulson will be the starter at that position. as for griffin who last week faced a hostile crowd in new jersey against the giants, going on the road in the steel city, just another check in the experienced category. >> look forward to it, look forward to going out there and seeing how their fans are, i'm pretty sure it's going to be pretty loud, their fan base is very fanatic and i take in all those experiences but at the same time i know i'm there to do a job so it will be fun and loud and it's our job to go out there and execute. >> i played in pittsburgh my rookie year, one of my all time favorite away games. that place is insane. i feel lucky to be back and i woke up monday morning and thought i'm honestly going to be playing football in pittsburgh on sunday, six days

i was in pittsburgh last week with the death by china film, and they talked about how they tried to start a couple of green energy companies in pittsburgh, but they were totally crushed by china's totally unfair trade practices, so it is virtually impossible forrer the green industries here in the country to given the weight of the subsidies of china to run that. the idea of this whole notion of innovation and robots taking over, that is not the problem, bob. the counter factual there is germany. germany has 25% of the men and women in the workforce working in manufacturing and the highest level of automation that you can have. we have 9%. we have to figure out a way to start produce more than we consume, and when we do that, we will get the wages and the income to create te d mahe dema are talking about. it is insane for the government to spend more in an economy that does not have the engine to create the jobs, because it has gone offshore. >> you have different views to spin. you want tax reform and trade reform. peter navarro, i hope they are talking about such things in washington an

but the postman might be down for pittsburgh. and the latest on number 59 and whether he can make it 232 straight and who is next in line for the terps qb gig. wow. i don't think anybody wants that job next. >>> and now 9 sports with dave owens. >> well, how do you not miss a game ever? and you play arguably the most brutal position in all of football. you have to ask fletcher that question. he played 231 straight. if he can't go, you know it's serious. and it is. he's dealing with a problematic hamstring and some balance issues which he saw a specialist for yesterday. good news, fletcher back at practice today. says he's feeling better. but a final ruling on whether he's going to play or not on sunday against pittsburgh still to be determined. we'll stay tuned. all right. tomorrow we'll get our first look at maryland quarterback number 4. freshman caleb row who was supposed to red shirt the next man up. that's because every other quarterback on the roster is out for the season. row and the terps visit boston college tomorrow. al

police officer is facing criminal charges in pittsburgh. he threatened a bus driver. they arrested him over the weekend. he pulled out his expandable baton and began swinging it when the driver of the bus told him he had to stand or wait for another bus. he's on leave from the d.c. police department and in pittsburgh at a grad student. >>> for the nats, there is no tomorrow if they don't win today. yesterday, an 8-0 loss in the first home game gave st. louis a 2-1 lead in the best of five series. today, if the nationals win, they continue. news 4s melissa mollet is live outside nats park. melissa, i imagine the difference between the feeling yesterday and today is oh, boy. please don't let it end. >> reporter: i know. i know. everybody is keeping their fingers crossed saying come on, we can do this. things are more calm right now. yesterday was a game starting at 1:07. today at 4:00. we don't have as many folks here. a gut wrenching loss, the nats need this one. it's hard for fans coming out of this roller coaster. >> i think we're doing fantastic. rmp the cold mornin

pittsburgh kicks the go ahead field goal to win it 16-14. scary play for redskins fans. robert griffin iii trying to make something happen. he scrambles up the sideline. gets hit. griffin is slow to get up. he's taken out of the game and would not return. official diagnosis is a concussion. no word yet on if he'll play next week. the game with 2:50 left to play. michael turner gets the handoff and runs it 13 yards for the score. that would be the final. falcons win 24-17. they improve to 5-0. >>> and a showdown between two of the best quarterbacks of this generation. tom brady, mr. pretty, and peyton manning facing off in foxborough. manning looks sharp rmt here he hits his tight end from one yard. peyton has three tds and no interceptions. the patriots' running game was too much for the broncos. ridley takes the pitch in from eight yards. he has 250 yards on the ground. they win it 31-21. >> mika rg3, he's going to be one of the great players of our time she said. you told me the sideline -- i'm over here. the sideline is your friend. the sideline is your friend if you'

this game hadn't ended, but thanks to the pittsburgh pirates beating the atlanta braves tonight they're nl east champs and very happy. here's some of the taste of the fans' reaction here on the sidewalk. >> i can't even express right now what i'm feeling. this is amazing. it was kind of anti-climatic a little bit, but we're going into postseason. >> reporter: how are you feeling? >> i'm just extra happy that we lost but we won. it's just -- i don't know. i just feel great. >> really pumped we actually clinched for the division. i knew we were going to the playoffs, but this just makes it so much more better. >> reporter: what did you think of that game? >> good. >> reporter: who won tonight? who? >> washington! >> i think it's huge because last year this time we weren't even considered making the playoffs and for us to win this year is just amazing. >> reporter: how did you get this shirt so quickly? >> the minute that the nats clinched because of atlanta losing they cleaned out all the old shirts from the store. they put these out. they put out the hats. they put out the shirts. >> rep
