The Bengals will be kicking off going left to right as we look at Milwaukee County Stadium.
The Bengals clad in their white uniforms this afternoon and the Packers in their traditional green.
Both clubs face the same situation going into this game. They are 1 and 2.
And as Jimmy was mentioning, this is really a crucial game, kind of a crossroads for the Bengals
to see if they can find some of that lost offense that came about beginning with opening day against the Cleveland Browns.
Archie Griffin has been deactivated because of that broken rib.
He and Mike Wells are the inactive players this afternoon.
So Lenville Elliott and Booby Clark will be the starting running backs for the Bengals.
Tommy Casanova and Wilson Whitley will not start, but both are able to play.
So we'll have the defensive alignment in the secondary the same as has been the last three weeks.
Marvin Cobb will play the strong safety spot and Mel Morgan will be a free.
Walter Johnson will start a defensive tackle for Whitley.
Both clubs are out on the field right at the moment, just waiting until it's kickoff time.
The officials for the game this afternoon, Fred Wyatt is the referee.
Tom Hensley is the umpire. Leo Miles the headlinesman.
Don Orr is the line judge. Jimmy Ross is the back judge.
Fred Swearingen is the field judge.
Little Steve Odom is the deep man.
For the Green Bay Packers, as Chris Byer tees it up on the 35.
This is the home course of the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Bengals on the infield skin portion of the gridiron here at County Stadium.
Byer advances on the ball and we're underway.
The kick is high and Odom will take it right at the goal line.
Comes straight out to the 5, to the 10. Now cuts to his left.
Gets a little running room, but is yet going to be dragged down at the 22 yard line.
Catching him from behind was Ray Phillips, the rookie linebacker from Nebraska.
Dragged him down from behind at the 22 and that's where the Packers will put the ball in play as we get things underway.
We were talking about that skin part of the infield, we were on that skin part of the infield before the game and it is absolutely like cement.
As a matter of fact, Bob Cunce in the Bengals offensive center walked along, kicked his toe into it and he said they might as well just pave it.
There's going to be some slipping and sliding among the offensive and defensive linemen down there.
The Packers come out of the huddle with Lynn Dickey the quarterback, Barty Smith and Eric Tarkelson are the running backs.
We'll set the remainder of the offensive and the Bengals defensive lineups for you.
Quick fetch and a handoff and a slanted over right tackle to Tarkelson and there isn't much room there as he's hammered down after a gain of perhaps a yard.
Jim LeClair, the middle linebacker, came over to make the stop.
The Packers have Ken Payne and Steve Odom as their wide receivers.
Rich McGeorge is the tight end. Mark Concar and Dick Himes are the tackles.
Steve Knutson and Mel Jackson, the guards, and Larry McCarron is the center.
The Bengals across the front of defense have Bacon and Burley at the ends with Johnson and Edwards at the tackles.
The Packers have a lot of players, Harris, Reggie Williams, Riley, Perry, Cobb, and Morgan.
Second to nine, a handoff around the left side.
This time sneaking through comes Barty Smith and gets up to the 25-yard line.
The score is pinched in and knocked down by Walter Johnson.
So in a couple of plays the Packers have made about four yards up to the 25 and now they'll be looking at a third down and about six.
Just underway, first offensive series here at Milwaukee County Stadium.
Both teams have been outscored in their first three games.
They've got records of one and two.
Now the Packers come out with a slot formation right.
Backspin in behind Dickie.
Dickie drops back for his first pass of the afternoon looking.
Throws it up the middle of the spot at the 35, up to the 40-yard line into the Bengals 41.
Comes Burt Aspson, the other tight end who was in the ball game.
And he's hammered down at about the 42-yard line.
LeClaire dropped back.
They threw under that zone again as San Diego had so much success doing last week.
Beneath the linebackers, right straight down the middle.
He caught it for 35, got it up to the 41 and the Packers convert the third down situation and have the first down at their own 41.
And that is the first pass reception of the year for Aspson and it would have to come right now.
Dickie hands off, coming around to the left side comes Marty Smith.
He gets to the 45-46 before he's knocked down.
Mel Morgan came up in the free safety and again Jim LeClaire has been all over the field on this first series.
Rolled across from the middle spot but not until Smith had picked up five to the 46 and it will be second and five.
Packers tried one play at right tackle and then swung around and have run everything to the left since then.
So they made five and a play in at the 46, it will be second and five.
No score, we're just into the first couple of minutes of play here at Milwaukee County Stadium.
They split Steve Odom, the mighty might, off to the left.
Third tight on the right side, back split behind Dickie.
Hand off, Tarkelson cuts in over right tackle and he is really hit by Reggie Williams.
Williams lifted right off his feet and dumped at about the 49 yard line.
Tarkelson is not a big fellow, 6'2, 194 and 230 pound Reggie Williams hit him around the hips and lifted him up and dumped him right about at midfield.
But the play was good for four and now the Packers will have a third and one.
Tarkelson is a fourth year man out of Connecticut and in each of the Packers' first three games this year he has been Green Bay's leading rusher.
He has 116 yards but he's not even averaging three yards a carry.
So both lines in tight in a third and one situation, the ball just shy of midfield.
Lynn Dickie, the former Houston quarterback who came to the Packers last year directing the attack,
in the right tackle trying to the short yardage of Tarkelson and I believe he has it.
He got over midfield down to about the Packers' 48, they'll have to see where he is when they all untangle.
Again Jim LeClair and plenty of others in on the stop but he has made the first down.
Walter Johnson, one of the last men up, the ball is at the Bengals' 48 yard line and the Packers have their second first down of the afternoon.
The Packers, as Bill mentioned, have been outscored. They've scored 41 points this year but all 41 of their points have come in the first half.
They have yet to put a single point on the scoreboard in the second half of any ball game.
Again they flank Odom to the left and they've been lining up rather tight.
And off Tarkelson wide around the right side, Gibbs flies to the air, a flag is down as he reaches the Bengals' 45 yard line.
Again Jim LeClair over there to cut the legs out from under him, also into the stop.
On that side, Mo Harris, the left side linebacker.
The first penalty of the afternoon and the Packers are retreating to indicate the penalty is against them.
And we get the signal from Geri Burley who indicates the penalty is against the Packers so they'll walk off some yardage.
It's going to be a 10 yard walk off and it will take it back to the Packers' 42 yard line and we'll get the holding call.
The first penalty of the afternoon, a hold against the Packers, moves it back to their 42 and now it will be first and 20.
We ran into one of the Bengals' real super fans here just before the game, Larry Goldsmith from Mansfield, Ohio.
Phil, I think we've seen him in Atlanta, we've seen him in Kansas City, we've seen him in Chicago, Detroit, and now in Milwaukee.
He and his daughter flew in this morning from Columbus.
He gets around so Burd asks from the tight end, the place of Rich McGeorge, a slot left, Odom is the wide man.
The left Packers back at their own 42.
In an eye, a pitch to the deep man and the eye, Tarkelson has no place to go.
He's hit, back at about the 39 and spun around first by Koi Bacon and then three or four Bengals get there quickly and drop him.
And there will be a loss of perhaps two or three yards in the play.
Reggie Williams came over from the line backing spot also to help out.
They're going to spot it back at the Packers' 39 yard line, so it is a loss of three.
And now it will become second and 23.
Back to throw, spins away from one man, now it's a room to run.
Comes up to the 40 and will be knocked down at about the 47.
Bacon and Burley pinched him from the outside and Dickey then moved out the middle, got up to the 45, the 46 yard line before Jim LeClaire nailed him.
So Dickey on the run gets about seven and now the Packers will look at a third down, with still about 16 yards to go for the first down.
Dickey doesn't run that often in the first three games on plays that he was either designed to run or was forced to run.
He's carried only twice in the first three games, picking up a total of 16 yards.
The Packers have converted both the third down situations that they've had thus far in the game.
Now Willard Harrell has gone into the game, replacing Tarkelson.
Come out with a slot formation to the right and Dickey goes back to throw. Fires up the middle, it's intercepted by Jim LeClaire, I believe at about the 35 yard line.
It looked as though the pass was intended for him.
It was Jim LeClaire who dropped back out of that middle line backing spot and Dickey, trying to throw behind him, actually threw the pass short right into LeClaire's arms.
And the Bengals will take over at their own 36 where he slipped and then was down.
So there's time out on the field, score Bengals nothing, Packers nothing.
Some time out, some time out, it's a calm dawn, when time goes on and on, just one year's in all. Well, they knew that was going to be a bad day.
They knew that was going to be a bad day.
They had a happy, wonderful, beautiful beer. They had a good time and they had a good time and they had some nice beer they had before they died.
The pride of Cincinnati's great brewing tradition, beautiful brewing company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
score here at county stadium in milwaukee bengals have the ball first and 10 of their own 36 doing
this not taking a 14 to nothing lead over seattle in the second period the Oakland Raiders going
for their 17th straight win lead the cleveland browns nine to three that's in the second period
bengal all in booby clark the running backs in behind kenny anderson bengals at the 36 handoff
park straight up the middle both up over the 40 gets all the way to the 45 and maybe the 46 yard
line before it can be dragged down by two or three packers that trap draw straight up the middle right
up to the 45 yard line good for nine and the bengals will have a second and one like curtis
and john mcdaniel are the wide receivers mention clark and elliott are in the backfield kenny
anderson is the quarterback john shinners and glenn bujnack will alternate at the left guard
spot bringing in the plays bob trump is the tight end hot on the maze of tackle wrap them at the
other guard bob johnson is the center second and one bengals at their own 45 curtis far side near
side mcdaniel the goes in motion toward the line of scrimmage a pitch out this one will go for nothing
breaking through with mike butler the left end who nailed glennville elliott before he had ever had
a chance to get out of the block about a six yard loss that pitch out they were attempting to sweep
left and mike butler the left end was not blocked at all and nailed him way back at the 39 for a
loss of six that's the wrong man not to block mike butler a 65 265 pound rookie out of kansas
has four seven speed in the 40 and he was in that backfield almost at the same time anderson was
affecting the pitch out no slot formation left with curtis wide and johnny mack in the slot
backers in the straight pro defense anderson dropped back to throw fires a quick out
incomplete he threw it to the official curtis didn't even turn around
curtis had not turned around at all he had gone deep and there obviously was a mix-up between
curtis and anderson on that play anderson was looking for curtis to hook and come back
and he went straight downfield the ball was thrown about 10 yards behind him so anderson goes over to
talk to curtis now they try to get this thing straightened out so it's incomplete and pat
mccanally will have to boot for the first time this afternoon
a line of scrimmage of the bangles 39
willard harrell along with johnny gray are the twin safeties back for the packers standing between
their 20 and 30 the wind down on the field is not much of a factor mccanally's boot low driving kick
not particularly good it'll be taken by harrell at the 27 it's one block in the far side at the
30 will make it to about the 34 or five yard line before he's knocked out of bounds in the
forest out of the field a lot of bangles over there to help push him out of bounds right in
front of the packer bench there's time out on the field door bangles nothing packers nothing
on the replacement windows when you already have good windows in the home well maybe some of these
new sash customer letters will help you understand why dear mr johnson i wondered about spending
money on new sash windows but my reservations are now gone my wife thinks they're beautiful and very
easy to clean but the amazing thing is that they keep the thermostat on 65 degrees all winter long
and our furnace only comes on four or five times a day instead of 10 or 15 times in the past thank
you our new sash windows are paying for themselves while the fuel savings are important to you this
winter give bill johnson a call at 2678 396 new sash is the only window with a good housekeeping
seal of approval and new sash replacement windows are custom made for a perfect fit call bill johnson
at 2678 396 and let him show you how to save up to 30 or more in eating costs that 24 hour number
again 2678 396 always asked for the original new sash updating the scoreboard new england
leading seattle 14 and i think second period oakland over cleveland nine to three second period and
The jets in buffalo and after that seven seven in the second period and uh my chet marco who kicked those two field goals in the final minute and 14 seconds up here that three season game
he's only two more points become the number six scorer in packer history we'd like to stop
him from doing that this afternoon so packers start out at their own 34 split autumn wide left back split a hand
off wide to the right side goes barty smith cuts back in works his way up to about the 39 yard line
with the full going wide right smith cut back in got to the 39 he was dumped over there by mill morgan who came up from the free safety spot
but until he picked up about five up to the 39 now the pack will have a second and five green bay has had offensive line problems
The uh retirement of both bruce van dyck and gail gillingham left a big hole in there and the packers have not been able to establish much in the way of a running game to any consistency
they couldn't do it last week against minnesota and dicky muttered the old phrase that you've heard time after time if you can't run you can't play
do anything slot formation right hand off coming around the left side now is torkelson or smith and he gets through up to about the 40 to 44 yard line before bo harris
along with walter johnson can pin him down very close to what is needed for the first down as again he picked up very close to five yards
The packers running knows actually what amounts to a beer offense as they start out wide and will cut in over the tackles
and two players on this particular series have been successful for about five yards each
dick heimes is up there to check the measurement dick heimes of course number 72 an old reliable 10-year veteran from high estate he's been a starter since 1970
when he replaced forrest drake who's now the head coach of the cleveland brown six-foot down and they are about six inches short of the first down
so the third with just those inches to go for the packers at their own 44 49 degrees and rather breezy here in milwaukee but it's not a factor down on the field the ribbons on the goalposts
are not blowing at any great angle on high punts they'll catch in the wind but forward passes down on the field will not be too much affected by this breeze
odum comes left as the packers face third and inches up at their own 44 both lines bunch tightly only odum split wide to the left
body smith torkelson the running backs behind dickie and off and in the right side getting a first down and smith just went in a straight hand off and a dive and over the right side got across the 45 to the 46
stop there but the packers have picked up the first down they just ran on the right side behind jackson and heims and mccarran in the middle got the yard and a little more to about two out to the 46 and have another first down
that's the packers fourth first down of the afternoon they had three up in that first drive and have now picked up their fourth of the afternoon
both teams one and two coming into this game and both trailing their respective division leaders by one game again odum split wide to the right this time and a wide split as dickie goes back to throw
pass is batted down at the line of scrimmage a dive and it was not intercepted it's just no good diving for the ball and mad about the fact was jim leclerc
pass was batted down at the line of scrimmage leclerc don't ford at the 45 was ruled a trap
and so at the 46 yard line or 45 it'll be sucking down and tamp
jim leclerc doesn't normally get that mad he spiked that ball good and a little heated argument there with the officials
here's the left sideline back over the claren in the middle retchi williams on the right side barry shinrally are the corners marvin cobb is the strong safety and mel morgan is the free
now campaign goes out wide to the right side and odum is lined up in a slot now comes over to the near side and they have the wide men split on both sides second and 10 at their own 46
and a drop play a handoff up the middle hole is there up the midfield down to the bangles 48 comes little willard harrell is in the backfield
they go back there and stop by eddie edwards who drifted back from the line of scrimmage but with the bangles looking for a pass the packers ran a draw and picked up about 5 yards down to make it 6 yards to the bangles 48 yard line and how it'll be 3rd and 4
dicky has hit one out of three this afternoon thus far and the packers have controlled the ball here for the first 9 and a half minutes or 9 minutes of this ball game the bangles have had just one series ran 3 plays and had to punt the packers have had it the rest of the time 3rd and 4th the bangles 48 again dicky goes straight back to throw steps up in a pocket now fires down the middle or the pot at the 35 it was
brought by ken fain doing a slant and kenny radley was right there to drag him down immediately he did a cross belmorgan dragged him down a cross right at the bangles 35 yard line fain gathered it in and the packers have the first down at the bangles 35 they brought the ball up their own 34 yard line after returning to punt
they have no score here 5 minutes and 15 seconds left to play in this first quarter that's the second pass that dicky has completed both of them on 3rd down situation the first one to askson for 16 yards this one to fain for 13 and off running in over right tackle again goes bardy smith nothing fancy just bruising in over right tackle makes about 5 as he got it down to the 30 yard line fain knocked out the interference on his side he was hammered down by a couple of men at the 30 but not until he picked up 5 more yards and the packers running game which has not gone well all
year is going particularly well on this series of plays right here it will be second and five they have been working the tackles in between tackles and ends and dicky has thrown the ball rather sparingly again odum comes wide left tight right a pitch off harrell running wide to the right cuts in ferries broke up the interference and got under harrell and knocked him down after a gain of about a yard bo harris also came over to help oddness stop good defensive play by ferries coming up in that left corner back spot shut that one off with a gain of a yard at the 29 now it will be
third and fourth back down to four ten remaining in this first period we have no score here in milwaukee county stadium
at the end of the first half apparently it's still oakland nine the cleveland browns three
odum again comes wide left
dicky hands off and a draw play to harrell
cuts back gets to the 25 and down to about the 23 and has the first down on the fire side of the field
well i don't think it's not somebody's left at the drop lay in jim mcclare on the back of the packers convert that third and fourth situation
uh... six yard run by little world harrell only weighs about a hundred eighty two five eight that the time behind those offensive linemen
and out of the bank of twenty three of the factors have another first down
at the longest pick up the girls have this year is one of the previous run from scrimmage
have been four yards but he moved about that the twenty nine out of the twenty three
sarah smith and i don't think you can hold them but by the last and handoff to the short man party
and he plunges in over right tackle gets inside the twenty to about the nineteen
a couple of angles slipped off including jim mcclare along with bo harris missed a tackle back at about the line of scrimmage
reggie williams finally knocked him down after he got just inside the twenty
so given three and it'll be second and seven
lockdown to two fifty remaining in this first period
and the factors about the ball all the three offensive plays in a book by the bangles they've completely dominated this first period
uh...
back in using the same basic formation title right side of the world about twelve yards wide the left this time the back to split
and after what i have a little bit of a right back when he gets nothing to get a edwardson's right there blocking the way that time
quite a good couple of others over to help out
and was very little game if any perhaps a yard in the play and now the factors will have a third down and about seven
uh...
jim caldreth has replaced body smith now at running back
so they have carol and caldreth
caldreth a rookie from oklahoma six footer two ten
scoreboard shows thirty and six of the nineteen but the nose of that football is right on that twenty yard line
this time they split wide men both ways askson comes over to the left
by the other jobs like a lot of scrimmage got got back to keep things about
right-of-way about the left of caldreth reggie williams came over and now more again and not them down that'll bring in
chester marco for the parent field goal attempt to get the ball of the eight he made a couple yards on the plate
well i hope that finally step on the back of the picking up all of what is just about
ten feet perhaps of the left of second base on the baseball diamond
all of the spot about the twenty six yard line so it'll be a thirty six yard attempt
michael of course the the bangles with that forty two yard over the five seconds ago in the preseason game
all of the way down the kickers up and away
and wide right
so michael has missed thirty six yards out
and i think i'll take over the time out of the field score bangles nothing
packers nothing

this is jimmy crumb along with bill sam back at county stadium in milwaukee
wisconsin we have a scoreless deadlock here with fifty nine seconds remaining
in the first period
The sunken it goes in the green bay packers
kenny anderson in a quarterback as the bangles will put the ball in play first
and ten of their own twenty yard line is running back behind him
but it was very sick when the light at number forty two will be quite
as a banter at county stadium bill may wonder if they're really looking at the
ability to art or a reincarnation of one of their all-time favorites john
brockington had to look about same size also or the number forty two but
john brockington has to have been waiting to be a rep for the last time
back or going back playing about eight yards off that line of credit
but it's what they're starting to get a lot of the back but behind anderson
handoff is a part of the fact that the middle gets to the twenty five yard line
for a gain of five will be cut inside right tackle
and then let's wait up the middle gary weaver the left side linebacker
finally brought him down the packers have mike butler and bob barber it ends
dav roller and dave purifoy are the tackles jim carter is the middle linebacker
he's flanked by gary weaver and fred carp
will be a few cannon and mike mccoy are the cornerback steve loop the former
ohio state stars the strong safety johnny gray is the free safety
The twenty five the bangles made five and look at a second and five kurtis far side
mcdaniel in motion out toward the line of scrimmage
and out the second man heli coming right to the right side of flag is down and he
gets just back to the line of scrimmage and that's all
a lot of backers were over there to meet him
fred car came all the way across from the right sideline backing spot to help out gary weaver
on that side and the penalty is going to be called against the bangles
preliminary indication is that it's holding and that'll cost him ten from the twenty five
back to the fifteen
back to nineteen seconds left to play in a scoreless first period
dot market up at
indication is from everybody in the bank of backing up now get the mark out the
period of all back to the fifteen yard line
holding college against a lot of them
at the twenty-fifth penalty against the bangles this year
The nineteen penalties that have been called prior to today many of them came at a very
very bad time
The bangles was second and fifteen now
at their own fifteen yard line but daniel split left kurtis to the near side again the
packer cornerbacks are about eight ten yards off that line of scrimmage
anderson goes back to throw a fire so swing out the clock gets the block comes up to the
twenty cuts up to the thirty yard line and is rolled over there
and i think i believe from safety spot to make the tackle it was a quick slip screen
of the left part getting the ball waiting for the black coming over john shiner's
pulling out but the block in the corner back and then part cut straight up the
feeling that the twenty five for a date of ten
so i've come to the end now the first quarter and at the end of the first
quarter of the store bangles nothing packers nothing

w m n i
where you'll hear the best in country music
we are your good neighbor
w m n i
in columbus
at jam-packed county stadium here in new york you was constant
we're getting ready for the start of the second quarter between the
Cincinnati Bengals and the green bay packers
The game scoreless at this point
this is the second time this year these two ball clubs have met
some nine weeks ago at the start of preseason very first game of the year
for both teams
The packers went up twenty three to twenty at the blambo field in green bay
when chet markle kicked a pair of forty five yard field goals
two of them in the last minute and fourteen seconds to win it
bangles for the curtis mcdaniel split on opposite sides third and five at their own
twenty five a couple of packers jumped and the flag goes down anderson back to
throw swings it out to the far side of incomplete intended for booby clark
The pass was a little low a couple of packers on the left side butler and roder came across
that line of scrimmage now the question is whether they were drawn or whether they
just came
The officials are consulting down it
The packers have had a good pass rush they've stacked the passer thirteen times in
these first three games it is offside against green bay
and i look at the bank of the very close to a first down if not enough for the
first down
i got brand talking in four times last week
so although this defensive line is almost completely rebuilt from last year
they have been able to establish a pretty good pass rush here in the early
going
about it going to be just inches shy of this brought out short of the thirty
yard line of angles will have thirty inches ago for that first down
not only did they thank uh... brand talking in court time last week with
The evidence that is the court two hundred forty five working
who played behind bob barber at the defensive right hand
but the point after touchdown for the second straight game
about the brain in a new backfield house on the day of this
jackson along with the johnson
came back here on the third and short yardage situation
both lines are in fact the end of the job and then over the middle he's got the
first down but not by much made perhaps a couple of people maybe a yard of the
play of got the ball up over the thirty
before you sub marine about the middle of the packer line
your abroad roller carter all of them in there and i'll be able to bring in the
regular backs park and alia again after that third and short yardage conversion
so the bangles pick up a first down
uh... after thirty one
no store in a game or just another first minute here the second quarter
The backers of our
are more plays in the bank of that that's fine and i'll put it back in over
The right side of our time running room up over the thirty five to about the
thirty nine
before he's not a secondary by the
safety is johnny gray and steve lou
on the draw slight delay in the trap and it cleaned out the middle and park at
good running room up to the thirty eight get a seven make it about the yards on
The play of the bangles will have a second into
because it was in that one plan or if you know if you want to talk to the
family used to have a goatee but he changed it off last night and it almost
didn't look like the judge and i most of the recognition
so i formation of the left with mcdaniel in the slot and curtis wide
and it's not going over the right side
all opens up to the forty five
just about seven more yards on the play before again carter
The middle linebacker along with gerry weaver linebacker on the left side can
combine to make the stop
The bangles have picked up on two players another quick first down
both players in over the right side between how and then lapham
The ball over about eight again up to the forty six and a quick first down
will be quite a cause of change very very little action that happens a lot
today because of that uh... The play country of caret that
only twice for a total of four yards before this game this is the first game
he started he was in just for two running plays last week against san
diego
anderson play action back to throw a fire as a quick out of scott out of the
forty five yard line by mcdaniel forty six yard line on the far side of the
field
what if you can on the cornerback was over there covering but the quick out
is going to be good for about
seven or eight yards it'll be spotted at the backer
forty six yard line
give me a second and two
problem of forty four seconds left to play in his first half we have no story
of malaki county stadium marco has missed a field goal
The bangles have not threatened
get a slot formation right mcdaniel is the flanker in the slot
curtis wide right again the cornerbacks well off the line of scrimmage
anderson a handoff cutting back into the middle getting down to the forty and down to
about the thirty six go and all the other
speaking about that right side again again it was looked along with mike
mccoy
gray in the secondary also in the stock
but i don't know if it doesn't have a first down and booby clark getting up
rather slowly holding out of that need
now he's up on his feet
will be flexing that left me again
marpolyn's and dot temperament about to have a look at him and tony davis checks
into the bank of line up
but carry advanced out of the pack of thirty seven so it's good for nine again
about a couple of particular series early
in the second quarter of the wrapping up the idea that six seven eight yards per
clip
and a little from their own twenty yard line
down to the green bay thirty seven words again first and ten
dot or twelve or five but first half
slot formation left again the cornerbacks about eight yards off that
line of scrimmage is all teams have played the bangles net defensive fashion
this year
anderson and off of the first man tony davis and tony lost his footing in his
hammer down quickly mike butler
from the left and got in to make the stop and have to help from david roller
at the loss of a couple back to the thirty nine
but it is a bill that lost his footing with a little slow getting out of the
block but even so
but it was in there so quickly that even if that's only a big on the good
things out of there
uh... but there were about a hundred good shot at it
they're all over the board here man from the university of kentucky mike butler
The big rookie from kansas
but i'm not going to let them know that the side that handled that play well
but i don't know if i've heard of mcdaniel back but behind anderson
drift off to his left
now he's going to be corralled and thrown down back at the fifty yard line and right in on top of him
there was no time at all to get rid of that ball
but his roller
and at the loss all the way back to the forty nine yard line
roller wasn't held out at all on that play and it's going to be a loss of ten
and now it will bring up a third down with about twenty two
back at the packers forty nine
now they bring in the two extra defensive backs two line backers go out
weaver
and carterly
so in the third down situation with about twenty two to go out of land with
a four-line one one backer in six defensive backs
general's quarterbacks well off the line of scrimmage
there's a new side mcdaniel far side
but let's just out of handoff coming up the middle of flag is down getting just
to the forty six yard line for a date of about three
was elliott a flag thrown on the play in the bengals backfield dav roller
hammered him down
and the bengals are going to be called for holding for the second time this afternoon
i'll see if the packers are going to accept the play will bring up a fourth
down if they decline the penalty if they take it a move the ball back
about the bengals forty one yard line
holding against bob johnson the
when those offensive center and uh... The packers are going to play it
The letter that i know that about
for the second time this afternoon the first one traveled to thirty three yards
and mackinac i will be a national record in the corner
johnny gray along with willard harold i can't win the babies for the packers
are all of the deep man
and a short man gray will be up about ten yards but not directly in front of
their spread across the field
by the scrimmage of the packer forty six the snap the mackinac
growth is one down the near side it'll take a look at the seven yard line by
harold get away from one man but can't get away from another you'll be hammered
down by jerry anderson along with glenn cameron
down about at the packers sixty-yard line not a wise decision at all by
harold the field at one
so the team's change possession of the time out of the field story made by
nothing backers nothing
uh...
people going to have a good time
i think it's not what you can't have a third period open now leading the brown
sixteen to three two thousand have a quickie in there against the stealers
leading but for seven other than the first period and you and that has not
taken a twenty one nothing lead
over seattle here at the time but you know how to go
county stadium milwaukee
no score between the bangles and the backers
after starting out of their own seven
and i was the body smith the trial of the whole wide left and quite a bit
about the problem for a lot of a couple back at about the
five-yard line
bacon along with kenny rather the quarterback over on that side
given to shut off that white we left completely
backslash down for a lot of the well-earned a spot at the six yard line
to make a lot of one and i would become a second and eleven
no score in this game ten fifteen left to play in the first half

The player

why split behind a key this time if he hands off party smith in over left tackle
bulls is way up over the ten yard line out to about the twelve
slipped out of the grasp of any edwards at about the seven yard line
moved it all the way out of the twelve yard line before reggie williams could
finally put them down for good
again of sex now i don't bring up a third of five of the packers about their
own twelve just army edge of what is the third part of the mtl
next week
The bangles have a monday night engagement over three rivers stadium
against the best bird stealers
steve on the white left the backslip behind a key
if you have a lot coming up with a little getting about the fifteen yard line
away this grab a bit of a problem there
and i don't think it in every government is going to be short by a
company article first down
but there's been no indication from the official that the bangles recovered the
ball but it will be cheating of their own
and the packers now will be forced to part of the way as they're looking at a
fourth and two
so david Beverly who is average about forty four and a half yards above the
front of the young season for the packers
or kick it away to really shall be dot story fifty one left first period
every one of seven times last week against minnesota average forty six point

that's a bit of a purposefully afternoon the snapback to Beverly a big rush but he
gets it away a good spiral and really shall be will gather and at the factor
forty nine yard line slips go to one knee and is immediately down right there

Marathon Oil Company, we got together to do it better.
And we did.
Johnny Gray was the man who was Johnny on the spot with 754 to go here in the second quarter.
Recovering that fumble by Elliot.
The Packers, when time is back in, will put the ball in play first and ten at their own 43 yard line.
We have a scoreless tie here in the second quarter.
The Bengals have controlled the ball for most of the second quarter.
After watching Green Bay control it during the first quarter.
It was gray overcast, very heavy, lead in the skies here early this morning.
But now there's broken white clouds and the sun is peeking through.
It's been a defensive battle all the way.
That's far no score here.
Almost midway through the second period.
The Packers take over at their own 43.
The handoff comes to Torkelson trying to right side cuts in.
It gets very little.
Or Barty Smith as he tried to cut in over right tackle.
Moves him maybe ahead for a couple yards to about the 45.
And Walter Johnson from the right tackle spot applied to crusher right there.
And coming up limping slightly is Eddie Edwards.
So a gate of two on the play.
And at the 45 yard line it will be second and eight.
The Packers win came in the opening day game against the New Orleans Saints.
Since then they've lost 16 to 10 to Houston.
Last week 19 to 7 to the Minnesota Vikings.
Second and five, the Packers at their own 45.
Take a handoff coming wide to the left side is Torkelson.
Burley slows him down but he gets up to midfield as he cut inside Burley.
Gained about five yards before Reggie Williams could come over and knock him down.
And he is still down, getting up very slowly as Torkelson now getting up to his knees.
Walking back to the huddle very, very slowly.
Picked up five on the play and right out at midfield the Packers now will have a third and three.
And walking back to the defensive huddle, Jerry Burley, number 67, pounding himself on the side of the helmet, hitting one hand into the other.
Very upset with himself because he should have had Torkelson back at the 45 yard line.
So Torkelson is shaken up and the play has gone out and Willard Harrell, the second year man from Pacific, has come in to replace him.
Packers with a third and three right at midfield.
Harrell goes in motion off to the left side.
Dropping back to throw his dick.
He fires it up, Scott down to the 45.
Down to the 40 in the 35 yard line and out of bounds, Marty Smith coming out of the backfield.
And Williams and Mel Morgan finally nailed him and dragged him down.
The Packers have done a lot of throwing to their backs.
Smith has been the leading receiver with ten receptions in these first three games.
And he took that pass off in the left flat.
Moved it down for 16 yards.
Down to the Bengals, 34 and the Packers have the first down.
Guy with the real flinchy credentials in pass receiving is Odom.
He has only three receptions.
But those were good for 151 yards, an average of 50.3 per reception.
But remember included in that was that 95 yard touchdown toss last week against Minnesota.
And off coming around the right side, getting nothing this time.
And a flag is drawn.
Jim Colbrath then trying to right side, got absolutely nothing.
May last about a yard in the play as the Bengals on the left side swarmed him.
Gary Burley at the left end, Jim LeClair coming from the middle line backing spot.
But let's see what the flag is all about.
Minnesota has taken a 14 to nothing lead over the Detroit Lions in the first period.
Is that 14 to nothing or 140 to nothing?
I've got 140 but I would think they slipped an extra zero in there in the end.
Maybe 40 I doubt it.
Finally going against the Green Bay Packers.
It has not been walked off yet but the Packers are retreating.
The line of scrimmage was down at the 34.
The officials still consulting with each other.
Going to move it back 10 yards to the 44 yard line.
Got a holding call against Green Bay, the cost on the 10.
So now back at the 44 it will be first and 20.
That of course would not be too surprising when Minnesota is leading Detroit 14 to nothing
because the Vikings have won 16 of the last 18 games they have played against Detroit.
The Lions have to believe they're snake bit against Minnesota.
Pittsburgh has come up with a field goal.
The Euters have a 7-3 lead in the first period.
Slot formation right with Askson in the slot.
Widespread behind Dickey.
Dickey goes back to throw.
Now runs out of the pocket, looks, fires upfield, it's incomplete.
Receiver, Rich McGeorge the tight end had it momentarily and then Bo Harris hit him
and wrestled the ball away from it.
Popped free and the little goal was an incomplete pass.
The ball will come back to the 44 and now the Packers will look at a second and 20.
Dickey's tried seven is completed four.
No score in this game.
6-17 left to play in the first half.
The Bengals have not threatened at all.
Marco missed a 36-yard field goal.
That was as close as Green Bay has come.
Sen Paine wide to the right.
Little Steve Odom comes to the left.
In fact they have a slot formation, a double wing.
Dropping back to throw is Dickey.
The Blitz is on, goes far downfield, way over the head.
That one was thrown on the goal pattern and the receiver, Steve Odom,
had done a hook along the sidelines and so he just threw it about 15 yards over his head.
The Blitz was on, Bo Harris was coming, but they picked it up and Dickey had time to throw.
So it comes back to the 44 and now in Bengal territory it becomes third and 20.
That starts the clock with six minutes and 12 seconds remaining.
Here at County Stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
we're in a Scrooge ball game with 6-12 to go here in the second quarter.
The Raiders have added another field goal in the third quarter against the Browns.
Now have a 19-3 lead.
New England over Seattle, 21-0 in the third.
Jetson Buffalo, 7-7 at the end of the half.
Again a double wing formation, a slot left.
Back to throw is Dickey.
Fires it, but it's into the ground off in the left flat as three Bengals were right in on top of him.
He tried to get it off to Jim Colbreth, a little swing out in the left flat,
but he threw the ball at his shoe tops and Colbreth couldn't reach it.
Burley and Bacon were both in on top of Dickey.
So the Bengals have stiffened and will force Dave Beverly here to punt it away.
Beverly's first boot was just 37 yards.
That was from deep in his own territory and Willie Shelby now is backed up to about the 10.
Strictly a defensive struggle all the way.
No score, 6-0-7 left first half.
Bengals with 10 men up on the line of scrimmage.
Here's a snap back to Beverly, gets the punt away.
A good high spiral and he ran into Beverly and a flag is thrown.
The ball went into the end zone.
It was Mel Morgan who ran into Beverly and that will cost the Bengals 5 yards,
a mighty critical penalty, and will give the Packers the first down.
Mel Morgan couldn't stop after trying to block that punt, ran into Beverly,
and the ball will be walked off down to the 39-yard line, putting it down at the 34.
And that is a mistake.
They'll have to go get it and bring it back to the 39.
Here they do as they consult with each other and find the ways of their errors.
So if the 39-yard line, the Bengals by virtue of that penalty,
give the Packers a very, very big first down.
Once again, that penalty bug is cropping up and raising its ugly head,
and that's what's been hurting the Bengals through the first three games
and has hurt them again here this afternoon.
A wide right, a quick pitch, Harold around the left side.
There won't be much room, but he gets away from a couple of men
and finally Bacon runs him out of bounds as a couple of Bengals miss tackles.
Mel Morgan missed a shot at him coming up from the free safety
and is finally run out of bounds by Bacon.
They end on that side who drifted out with the play
and finally knocked him down at the 34-yard line,
ran him out of bounds after a gain of five.
Second and five, Pack at the Bengals, 34.
Now Harold goes out of the lineup.
Torkelson comes back in, so Smith and Torkelson become the running backs again.
Old and wide left, they're tied on the right side.
The Packers have used this formation most of the afternoon.
Barty Smith straight up the middle punches his way down to the 30s.
The flow went wide right.
He cut in behind it, moved it down very close to the 30-yard line
and very close to what's needed for the first down.
Reggie Williams finally dropped him right out the 30.
So it's a gain of four and it will become third and one.
Pack running down to five and a half minutes left in the first half
and there's no score in this game in Milwaukee County Stadium.
Again, Odom goes wide left.
Bengals bunch the defense in tight.
Dickey with a long count, gives it to the second man through Torkelson.
He dives over the heap, but a flag is down as he made the first down
down to about the 26-yard line.
The preliminary indication is that it is against Green Bay.
Holding against the Packers.
Well, there's a critical penalty called against the Packers
just as the Bengals suffered one.
They had a first down down in the vicinity of the 26 or 27.
Only to lose ten, which will bring it back to the 40.
Will now make it third and 11.
Couldn't catch the number.
E.A. Burt Askson, the man who was called for holding.
And Askson goes out of the ballgame now along with Torkelson.
So third and 11 for the Packers now at the 40.
They got Bain wide and Odom in the slot to the left.
Smith and Torkelson in behind Dickey.
The Bengals have intercepted Dickey once.
Leclerc picked one off.
Flag is down.
Bacon was offside.
As Dickey drops it off, McGeorge catches it at the 40.
Reggie Williams will run him down, throw him out of bounds at the 35.
Mel Morgan hit him, but just bounced right off him back at the 40.
But Bacon came across the line of scrimmage too quickly.
Well, the Packers undoubtedly will take the penalty.
They made about four yards on the play,
but of course it would bring up a fourth down,
so they'll walk off the five and the Packers at the 35 yard line.
They'll revert back to a third down situation,
but now they'll have six yards to go for the first down.
No scoring.
We're down to 505 left in this first period.
No change on any of the other scorers as we gave them to you.
We have nothing in Washington and Tampa Bay
and nothing on Philadelphia and the New York Giants.
Maybe in Milwaukee they don't like those teams.
Boycott them.
Their names are on the board, but so far no scorers,
and those were both one o'clock Eastern Daylight Time games.
Randy Bataha has checked in at a wide receiver, replacing Payne.
He comes out wide right and in the slot goes Odom.
Packers third and six at the Bengals 35.
Going in motion, the far side of the field now is Odom,
and Dickey drops back to throw.
Looks now he's going to be forced to run.
The ball is tied loose on the scramble at the 40 yard line.
Somebody got hold of his arm.
I believe that it was either Burley or Reggie Williams,
knocked the ball out of his hand,
but apparently he recovered it himself right at the 40 yard line.
The last man up off the ball is Dickey, and right at the 40.
The Packers now will look at a fourth down and about 10.
But there's a penalty going to be levied against the Cincinnati Bengals.
That flag was thrown downfield and I didn't see it.
The five yard walk off down to the 30 yard line,
and let's see what the call is going to be.
Illegal use of the hands against the Bengals,
and that will be an automatic first down.
The shades of that drive on the closing two minutes of the first half last week
against San Diego.
That is an automatic first down.
So the Packers retain control of the ball.
For the second time, Dermille Morgan ran into the punter.
That gave him a first down.
Now they hold it here on the illegal use of hands.
Odom's split wide to the right.
Hand off to Barty Smith.
Circles out wide to the left.
Cups in and has lifted right off his feet and dropped at about the 29 yard line.
Very short game, maybe a yard on the play.
Reggie Williams, the right side linebacker, just picked him up right at the 30 yard line,
so there's no gain at all on the play.
And now it becomes second and 10.
Clock running, we're down to 439 left here in a scoreless first half.
It's been a long time since we've played a half that's gone this long without any score by anyone.
Another change down at New England-Seattle.
New England's added a field goal now.
It's 24 to nothing, New England over Seattle in the third quarter.
As far as everyone knows, John Hannah and Leon Gray came back to the Patriots.
Pop will be not playing today.
Dickey goes back to throw.
Half time, fires it down the middle.
Right there is McGeorge, and he's going to be wrestled down at about the 18 by Jim LeClaire.
They found the opening to the tight end, Rich McGeorge, straight down the middle,
and there was plenty of room down there.
And the Packers pick up 12 and have a first down down at the 18.
The Bengals once again find themselves in trouble, as Phil alluded to just a moment ago,
just as they did in the final two minutes of that first half last week at San Diego.
And they have nobody to blame but themselves right now for the trouble they're in.
Those penalties have come back to Haunton.
They have all season long.
They've done it again this afternoon.
So the Packers at the 18, send Odom out about 12 yards wide to the right.
Smith and Torkelson in behind Dickey, offset left.
Longer count this time by Dickey.
Gives it off wide around the left side.
Goes Smith, and he's up in at the 15-yard line, Kenny Riley and Mel Morgan.
They're trying to sweep that left side to the Bengals' right.
They get the ball down to the 16-yard line, so give them a couple on the play,
and now it becomes second and eight.
And the Bengals, after controlling the ball in the first few minutes of this first or second period,
they've just been unable to get their hands out of it.
Now the Packers started out getting the ball at their own 43-yard line
and have had it a long, long time after they recovered that fumble by Lin-Ville Elliott.
So we've got a time out of the field now.
The Bengals, nothing, the Packers, nothing.
Imagine this.
You were standing in front of the house,
built from only new-sized windows and one new-sized door.
Now let's go inside and experience new-sized quiet.
The new-sized quiet came from the perfect custom fit
and the exclusive Thurman pane with its half-inch dead-air space.
Reducing outside noise is only part of the new-sized story.
Eliminating the draft, the freezing winter wind, or the boiling summer air.
The outside stays out because of the perfect new-sized fit.
For you, this means lower fuel bills, up to 30 percent lower.
It makes no sense to replace your worn-out windows and replace them with new-sized.
The original replacement window.
For more information, call new-sized collect, 614-267-8396.
That's 267-8396.
Your new-sized window is also tilled in for easy cleaning
and for enjoying the fresh spring and fall air.
Ah.
Three minutes and nine seconds remaining here in the first half
at County Stadium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Very, very defensive-minded.
The Packers, very defensive-minded.
The Bengals, right now the Packers are threatening.
They have a second down and eight at the 16-yard line,
deepest penetration they have made.
But up until this point, it has been strictly a defensive ball game,
and the Bengals' own penalties have hurt them in this drive.
Miami has a 20-10 lead over Baltimore in a second period.
So Don Schiller with a complete rebuilding program down there in Miami.
And they've won three straights.
Slot formation right, wide split behind Dickey.
The Packers down at the Bengals 16.
Handoff and a drop, like coming wide to the right and getting just maybe a yard or so.
Cutting back in was a little Willard-Herald, and Eddie Edwards has snipped that play out,
diagnosed it pretty well, and dropped them at the 14.
So it's a gain of two more, and now it becomes third and six.
The Bengals have not come close to scoring.
Marco missed a 36-yard field goal for Green Bay.
Jen Payne, one of the wide receivers, goes out now, and Randy Bataha,
a little ex-might of the New England Patriots, replaces him.
He goes wide left.
On the near side is Odom, a wide split.
Fake play, action back to throw is Dickey.
Looks, fires down into the end zone.
Was it caught?
Touchdown.
There was a question whether he was inbound, but it was caught down in the end zone
by Barty Smith, who came out of the backfield, went straight down the middle,
and Reggie Williams, just throwing his hands up in despair,
caught it right near the end line, going straight down the field.
So the Packers have scored on the pass from Dickey to Smith, 14 yards,
and take a 6-0 lead.
So Marco will attempt to add the extra point.
Comes with 2.31 left to play in the first half.
After the Packers recovered, Elliott fumbled at the 43 and a move down to score.
The lines are down, the ball is placed, the kick is up in the air, and it is good.
So we have 2.31 left to play in this first half,
and Green Bay has drawn a 7-0 lead.
Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification.
This is the Cincinnati Bengals football network.
This is the voice of the Cincinnati Bengals in central Ohio, WMNI,
where you'll hear Don Bowman counting down the biggest country hits
on American Country Countdown after today's game on WMNI Columbus.
The pass to Barty Smith covering the last 14 yards,
and so the Packers move 57 yards in 17 plays,
aided immeasurably by three very costly Cincinnati penalties.
Of course there were two penalties against Green Bay on that same drive,
but the ones, the three against Cincinnati, I think,
hurt Cincinnati more than the two against Green Bay or them.
So with 2.31 to go, the Packers break the scoring ice and take a 7-0 lead,
and as the Bengals have found out in two of their first three games,
they now have their backs against the walls,
and they have their work cut out for them,
and it's time to play catch-up football, and that's no fun.
Willie Shelby at the deep end, Jerry Anderson and Tony Davis flank him,
and for the second time this afternoon, Marco gets set to kick off.
There's the boot, and it'll carry down to about the 5 where Shelby will gather it in,
comes straight up to the 15, to the 20, and a haul to the 30,
breaks the way to the outside, 35, 40 yard line, still on a speed all the way to midfield
and down to the Packer, 48.
So Willie Shelby runs that one back about 49 yards in the Packer territory,
but a flag is down on the play.
Nate Simpson finally dropped him from behind,
and the Bengals are retreating, so the Bengals are going to get a clip call against him,
and the flag was dropped at the Bengals' 44,
so if that was the spot of the infraction,
it'll take it all the way back to the 29 yard line.
Another one.
Yep, there's another one, that's right.
The official takes the ball back, Fred Wyeth, the referee, puts the ball down at the 29,
signals a clip, and that's where the Bengals will put it in play,
first and center of their own 29 yard line.
Clock is stopped.
Two minutes and 19 seconds remaining in the first half,
and the Packers lead at 7 to nothing.
So the Bengals, instead of being at the Packer 48, find themselves back at their own 29.
Curtis split left.
Now going in motion is Bob Trumpey out to the right side,
and Anderson drops straight back to throw.
The Packers up the middle, a dive and a catch at the 42 yard line,
getting up again, running with the ball, and dropped down at about the 40 yard line.
So you've caught that ball.
I believe it may have been Elliott coming out of the backfield.
That was Billy Brooks, number 82, who grabbed that pass, in at the wide receiving spot.
That was the play the Bengals have not used frequently.
They put Trumpey in motion outside, and then Brooks comes across the middle.
So we're down at the two-minute warning,
and there's time out on the field, but the score, Packers 7, Bengals nothing.
See what's new today, here's Chevrolet.
The dealer is inviting you to call.
See, try it, what's new today, try the Chevrolet.

It's almost a repeat of last week, you said, the game earlier.
The Bengals trail the Green Bay Packers 7 to nothing with two minutes to go here in the first half.
Cincinnati is 60 yards away from Green Bay territory, from the end zone, and right now would be a good time for Kenny Anderson to do with that Southern Cal quarterback did against Alabama twice in the last five minutes yesterday.
Just move that ball club right down the field and get them into that seven points and tie the thing up here at the end of the first half.
Anderson, so far, has completed only three out of four passes for 34 yards.
The L-team spend a lot of time on the two-minute drill, and the Bengals have an opportunity to put it into motion right here. Bill Brooks goes wide right, Curtis comes to the near side, the backs in and high behind Anderson.
Play action, Anderson back to throw, fires up the middle, is caught by Trumpy at the Packers 45, and he gets all the way down to the 35-yard line.
So Bob Trumpy, one of those infrequent receptions this year, that is only the second pass that Trumpy has caught in four games, and he gets it down to the Packers 36-yard line.
So the Bengals going without a huddle, putting the plays in by twos. The clock is running, it's down to a minute 38.
In Brooks' far side, Curtis near side, Anderson goes back to throw, looking, fires up, incomplete. The pass is too low, down at the 25-yard line.
The roller gave Anderson a pretty good belt just after he got that pass away. Trumpy, again, was the intended target, a pretty good rush, and Anderson came up short in the pass.
So that stops the clock with a minute 30 left, and at the Packers 36-yard line, the Bengals now have a second and ten.
That Miami-Baldivore game going on today in Baltimore, that's, of course, the battle for the AFC Eastern Division League.
Miami and Baltimore both 3-0, and in the second period, the Dolphins lead Baltimore 20-10.
Curtis goes far side, again, the cornerback's about eight yards up, that line is scrimmied.
Anderson back to throw, fires it up, it's caught the 30-yard line. Still on his feet, Brooks dropped it about the 29.
So Brooks taking that ball, slamming in toward the middle, coming across, got the ball just down to the 30, and now it becomes third down with about four to go.
The Bengals go without benefit of huddle. Packer player rollers slow getting over there. It stopped the clock momentarily with 1.14.
And now they're going to change footballs. Bengals at the Packers, 30-yard line with a third and four.
A signal for the clock to start, and it does. Wide men on both sides, back to throw.
A little swing out to Elliott, got the 30-yard line, he's down to the 25, and gets the first down to about the 23-yard line.
Glenn Buzhnak and Purifoy get into a little shoving match down there.
Purifoy taking exception to what he thought was a late block by Buzhnak, but nothing is broken up quickly.
Now, with a minute left to go, there's a timeout called in the field. Score, Packers 7, Bengals nothing.

Bengals are in much better shape now than they were a minute and 19 seconds ago.
It's first and 10 at the 23, one minute remaining in the first half.
Anderson back to throw, gives it on a slow draw to Clark.
It's up the middle of the 20, gets to the 18-yard line.
That's that slow draw where he hands it around with Clark just standing in front of him looking downfield.
Anderson turns around and hands the ball to him forward, and Clark got it down to the 18 for a gain of five.
It's second and five. Bengals go without a huddle.
Clark down to 40. Anderson goes back to throw.
Looking, swings it up to Elliott. Down the middle of the 15, Lendl to the 10, and gets all the way down to the 5-yard line.
Little dunk pass. Now the Bengals will call a timeout to stop the clock with 33 seconds left as Kenny Anderson walks over to the sideline.
Two consults with the Bengal coaches. Elliott taking out a little pass right over the line short.
Cut inside at the 15, was hit about at the 9, and dragged a couple of tacklers, including Freddie Carr, down to the 5-yard line.
And the Bengals now have 33 seconds and one timeout remaining and have a first and goal.
Thirty-three seconds remaining as Phil said, and for the first time, and let's figure it out, four quarters last week, one quarter this afternoon, that's five quarters, five quarters in about 13 minutes.
The Bengals are finally beginning to look like the Cincinnati Bengals. For five quarters and 13 minutes, they look like the Sisters of the Poor, really, against San Diego last week and so far this afternoon against the Green Bay Packers.
But they have come on here in the last two minutes and 19 seconds, starting back at the 29-yard line, and one, two, three, four, five passes in this drive that has taken them down to the 5-yard line.
And the Bengals are now beginning to act like the Bengals of old.
So timeout is called. With those 33 seconds left, Kenny Anderson talking to the offensive coaches Bill Johnson and Mike McCormick on the far side of the field.
Right in the booth next to us, Howard Brinker, the defensive linebacker coach, and Jack Donaldson and Boyd Dollar, the offensive coaches, and Charlie Winter, Mike McCormick, Chuck Studley, and Bill Johnson.
Down in the field, Anderson to check, returns to the huddle. Bengals have a first and goal at the Packer five.
Down here, of course, you'll get the man-to-man coverage.
Wind up with a slot formation to the right. Packers come right up to the line of scrimmage.
Right down in the dirt, near third base, Anderson with the ball, goes back to throw, looks downfield, can't find anybody. Now he's going to run out of bounds, he'll be forced out at about the nine.
Couldn't find anybody in the open as Anderson drifted out to the right.
And there will be a loss on the play, back to the eight yard line are going to spot it. So it becomes second and goal at that point. The clock stopped, the play took just five seconds.
Twenty-eight remain. Tony Davis now checks into the Bengal backfield, Booby Clark goes out.
Packers lead at seven-nothing, right down to the final 28 seconds here in the first half.
Bill Brooks, who has replaced John McDaniel at the flanker, goes wide right and Curtis comes to the left. Ike will draw a double coverage over there from Mike McCoy, who is right up on the line of scrimmage.
Anderson back to throw, the blitz is on, is picked up, fired down in the corner, intended for Curtis, incomplete.
Cover down here, McCoy had him as Curtis went down and worked his way to the left toward that sideline.
The blitz was on Jim Carter or Fred Carr was coming but is picked up by Tony Davis and Anderson had time to throw the ball. So now at the eight yard line it becomes third and goal.
Clock has stopped, 23 seconds remain, that took another five.
Now John Schinners goes out and Glenn Bougenac brings in the play. And if the Bengals don't make it here they'll have to settle for a field goal here in these final few seconds of the first half.
Packers lead at seven-nothing.
Kelly and Davis are the running backs. Bill Brooks goes wide to the right. Remainder of the line is tight. Now Brooks comes in motion over to the near side.
Anderson goes straight back to throw. Brooks fires down, touchdown, Curtis right down the middle.
Got away from Mike McCoy and took that pass right under the uprights and the Bengals have put six points up on the board and have scored for the first time since the win over Seattle in the second game of the year.
And now Chris Barr will attempt the extra point to tie this game up with. The Bengals took the ball and moved all the way from back at their own 29 yard line.
So Marvin Cobb will hold it, put it down in the dirt. Chris Barr will attempt the extra point.
Ball is placed down. Barr's kick is up in the air and it is good. So that ties it up now with 19 seconds left to go in this first half.
And the Packers will have one more opportunity in these final few seconds. So the Bengals move it down the field and score on the eight yard pass from Anderson to Curtis.
Anderson's second touchdown pass of the year. Both have come to Isaac Curtis. The Bengals have tied this game up at seven-seven.
Bengals move 71 yards in ten plays. Kenny Anderson's passing stats now read a little bit better. He's completed eight out of 11 for 89 yards in one touchdown.
Isaac Curtis has just one reception this afternoon. That was for nine yards. That was the one that just came up and put the seven points, the six points, and then the extra point on the board for the Cincinnati Bengals.
So with 19 seconds to go, we have a new ball game. It's tied seven-seven. Capacity crowd of more than 55,000 this afternoon here at County Stadium in Milwaukee.
Pittsburgh has come up with a touchdown in the second quarter and has now taken a 10-7 lead over the Oiders in the second period. The Jets lead Buffalo 17-7.
No other changes still as we gave them to you the last time.
So Steve Odom, back to receive, and the ball fell over. Justice Barr ran up on it. And the Bengals kind of hesitatingly go back to recover the ball.
Everybody went downfield, but Justice Barr got there. The ball fell over. They're going to give the ball to the Green Bay Packers at the 35-yard line.
With 19 seconds left to play. All the Bengals are questioning the call. I've never seen that happen. Why the Packers got the ball, I do not know. I've never seen the play before.
Perhaps the officials have not seen either because they've gotten together down there to talk it over. And now they've decided otherwise that it is not Green Bay's ball. So we're going to kick it off over again. That's better.
Apparently something, as Phil said, it's something we've never seen in 10 years of broadcasting the Bengals games. If Barr had kicked the ball or even touched it, of course, then it could have been a free ball and the Packers could have recovered it.
I know Tony Davis went back and I thought he covered the ball, but Barr never made contact with the ball. The ball fell over as he was just about a step away from putting his foot into it.
So he'll tee it up again at the 35-yard line. We'll do it all over again. No time ran off the clock. The clock does not start in the final two minutes of either half until it's touched by a player in the field of play.
So the clock will not start until Odom touches the ball. Now Barr advances and there's the boot. It's a line drive that bounces down to 30-25. It's dropped by Odom at the 10 and he finally picks it up.
Comes straight up, gets to the 20, is going to run into a flock of tacklers, reverses his field, comes back the other way, running laterally at the 15. Now he's going to try the other way and he almost lost the ball.
It popped up in his hand, but he grabbed it as he's knocked down at the 11-yard line. He reversed his field twice, tried to pick up a block, but the Bengals were good contained, did not all sweep to the right side of the field when he went that way.
And when he came back to the near side, two or three men were there to meet him and Willie Shelby finally dumped him back at about the 12 and with seven seconds left, the Packers will have about time to run off one play.
So seven-seven games, seven left to play here on the first half. The Bengals just scoring a few seconds ago in the eight-yard pass from Anderson to Curtis.
Dickey to Smith from 14 yards out accounted for the Green Bay touchdown. So Odom comes wide right now and the backs go into an eye with Barty Smith, the short man, Tarkelson the deep man. The Packers at their own 11 are probably just running into the line and let time run out.
It is Barty Smith over the right side. He's met hard right at the line of scrimmage and time will run out here on the first half and that'll be it.
So Jimmy Krumm will be along with his analysis the first half in a moment. Once again our score at halftime here at Milwaukee County Stadium is the Bengals seven and the Packers seven.
The Packers will kick off.
The Bengals had the ball for just six running plays as I mentioned in that first period and had it 19 times from scrimmage on only what amounted to two offensive series because they lost the ball on Elliott's fumble and the Packers picked it up and went 57 yards to score.
And then the Bengals came back with just two minutes and 19 seconds left and moved 71 yards to nod it up on the eight-yard touchdown pass from Anderson to Curtis.
So the Packers kicking off going right to left. Mully Shelby is the deep man. Tony Davis and Jerry Anderson the short man.
Here's Mark Cole's kick. Will not be particularly long. It'll be taken by Shelby in a trot at the 10. Up to the 20. Runs into a horde of Packer tacklers and will be knocked down at about the 24-yard line.
There was a fumble in there but it was after he had hit the ground and the ball had been blown dead. Now the Bengals will have the ball at about their own 24-yard line to start out here in this third period.
Sun is out now and the skies have fairly well cleared here at Milwaukee. Overcast about an hour before the game but then patches of blue begin to show. We played most of that first half on the sunshine.
Bengals come out with a slot formation right. Billy Brooks is the flanker. He's in the slot. Curtis wide right.
And up around the left side. Cutting in is Elliott and he runs into about three or four Packer tacklers as he gets out of the 29-yard line.
Jim Carter, the middle line backer, the fellow's had all kinds of problems with a couple of broken arms in his career. Mike McCoy up from the quarterback spot also to help out on the tackle.
They say that Elliott got to the 30. So it's a game of about five and it'll be second and five. Seven-seven ball game here in the opening minute of this third period of play.
Tight on the right side and Ike Curtis. On the right side Billy Brooks split to the left. And up it's Booby Clark, you know, left tackle coming wide and Booby runs over a tackler and gets to about the 33-yard line.
Booby just put his head down and ran right into Willie Buchanan. Buchanan wrapped him up and finally dropped him after Clark had struggled forward for a couple of more yards out to the 33.
So give him three and it'll bring up a third and two.
You mentioned those broken bones. Middle linebacker Jim Carter, the age-year veteran out of Minnesota, the real hard-luck guy as far as the Packers are concerned.
He was a number three draft choice in the 70s. He broke his leg in 75 and his arm in 76.
Now Pete Johnson and Tony Davis go into Bengals backfield on the short yardage situation. Packers have six men right up tight at the line of scrimmage.
And off Clark, both in the side, gets to the 35 and has the first down. Coming in over right tackle.
And he made that with a good deal of that second effort after he'd been hit by Jim Carter.
He struggled forward and just got the nose of the football to the 35 and made it with a couple of, or Tony Davis made it with a couple of inches to spare.
Check that make at Tony Davis. So it's first down for the Bengals at the 35.
7-7, we played a couple of minutes here on the third period. Bengals at their own 35-yard line.
Again come out with a slot formation right. Curtis wide. As the Packer cornerbacks have done all afternoon, they're about eight yards off that line of scrimmage.
An high formation, short man. It goes to the second man, Elliott Wiggles, his way up to the 40 and gets up to the 42 as he came in at right side.
Again, the middle linebacker Jim Carter along with Dave Purifoy who made the stop.
But not until Elliott had picked up about seven yards at the 42 and now the Bengals will look at a second and three.
The Bengals have shown more offense here on this opening series in the third quarter when they showed in the entire first half with the exception of that drive on the final two minutes and 19 seconds.
As they break the huddle, Curtis again rather tight on the left side. Brooks split out about eight yards wide to the right.
The back split behind Anderson. The handoff goes to Clark who works his way up the middle and Booby plunges up to the 49-yard line for about another seven-yard crack before Purifoy can wrap him up and drag him down just short of midfield at the 49.
So Clark and Elliott heating up yardage here in chunks of sixes and sevens as we open this third period. The Bengals have another first down and move it back a yard to the 48.
Booby had a very respectable average that first half carried six times for 39 yards. That figures out to six and a half yards per carry.
Now John McDaniel has replaced Brooks as the flanker. He's split out to the right. Handoff into the line and finding the going hard this time was Linville Elliott as he tried the left side and over between Rufus Mays and the guard on that side and Purifoy and Barber stopped the play.
He got a couple of yards, got the ball right out to midfield. A gain of two, now second and eight. In case you joined us late, Archie Griffin, the two-time Heisman Trophy winner from Ohio State, is not even with the Bengals this afternoon.
He remained in Cincinnati when it was discovered at midweek that he had suffered a cracked rib in last week's game against San Diego.
Curtis Wright, Billy Brooks off to the left. The Packers come across the line of scrimmage. Flags are down and Anderson will be wrapped up and thrown down by Jim Carter, not thrown down, just wrapped up and thrown back.
The play had been blown dead and Bernhardt didn't like the way that Carter treated Anderson and let the officials know about it.
Now we've got a change in that score up on the board now. Now it shows Baltimore leading Miami 17 to 14. So a correction of what we had the 20 to 10 score with Miami leading before.
So it'll cost the Green Bay Packers five yards. They were offside. It'll move it down to the 45 and now the Bengals look at a second down situation with just three yards to go for the first down.
I wonder where that other score came from. That was up there for an awful long time. Here it was.
No changes in the others. Yes, there is in one. New England now leading Seattle 31 to nothing. Perhaps we did give you that one before.
Bengals for the second and three at the Packer 45.
Wide men split on both sides of the field. The Baxter split Anderson hands off. Clark, the middle of the line, reverses himself, goes to the left and gets about three yards and they're harder.
He tried it straight up the middle and veered off to his left. Was dragged down by Roller and Carter.
Now with another third down and about a yard situation coming up, Elliott and Clark go out.
And Tony Davis and Pete Johnson, the short yardage men, come in. The ball is at the Packer 43 and it's third and one.
Seven-seven, 10-25, the time remaining here in the third quarter. First series of the second half.
Both lines bunched tight. Hand off Pete Johnson. He's got a big hole and he's got the first down inside the 40 down to about the 37 yard line.
Johnny Gray came up to hit him, but Pete Johnson just kind of ran right over him and dragged him for another couple yards down to the 37 and the Bengals keep the drive alive.
With a ramp of about six yards, good blocking right in the middle of the line, cried apart that Packer defensive front four.
Pete Johnson, of course, one of those big long line of strong fullbacks from Ohio State and the Buckeyes may have discovered another one yesterday in freshman Joel Payton who had four touchdowns against Purdue.
First and 10, the ball at the Packer 37. Wide men split on both sides of the field. Anderson goes back and throws. The blitz is on, finds the man alone.
Trumpy down at the 30, spins away, gets down to the 25, to the 20 and will be knocked out of bounds at about the 15 yard line.
Just a foot away from a Packer tackler, but a flag is thrown down at the line of Strimmy.
And it's going to be a holding call against the Bengals and Trumpy is shaken up where he was knocked out of bounds.
Coming up to his feet rather slowly and that one will be wiped out. The blitz was on and Anderson found Trumpy out on the right flat.
And the time is being called and the officials are signaling, but the Bengals don't notice it, that they need somebody from the far side of the field to come over and attend to Bob Trumpy.
And finally Dr. Timperman comes all the way from across the field to take a look at him. I think Trumpy had the wind knocked out of him.
That was a great move by Bob Trumpy at about the 25 to 30 yard line. There's time out on the field. Score a Bengals 7 Packers 7.

Look for Corvair's store wide savings in the Thursday's Dispatch, Saturday's Citizens Journal and the Sunday Dispatch. Once you shop Corvair's, you'll be back.
Bob Trumpey just crossing the far sideline going back to the Cincinnati bench. It was either something with his shoulder or perhaps he had the wind knocked out of him.
Dr. Timberman and Marv Ballen both walked back with him and walked all the way across the field and Bob seemed to be alright.
That penalty against Cincinnati for a holding on that pass from Kenny Anderson to Bob Trumpey, which nullified the play and moved the ball back to the Green Bay 47 yard line,
was penalty number six assessed against Cincinnati this afternoon. Six penalties for a total of 50 yards and all six of them have come at a very, very crucial time.
Tim Corbett has replaced Trumpey at tight end.
Stunkels now have a first and 20, the ball back at the backer 47.
Brooks and Curtis split on opposite sides.
Anderson goes back to throw, fires it out on the flat over the head of Booby Clark on the far side of the field.
Trying to swing it out to the left side. He was covered well over there by Fred Carr, the right side linebacker, who had drifted out.
And so had Bob Barber, the end over on that side. So it comes back to the 47 and it'll be second and 20.
Nine and a half minutes left to play here in the third quarter. The clock has stopped. It's a 7-7 ball game.
Both teams scored late in that second period after battling for about 26, 27 minutes without anybody putting anything on the board.
That's a slot formation to the left with Corbett in the slot. Both wide receivers up on the line of scrimmage and Corbett goes in motion.
Anderson back to throw, sprints it out, catches that screen down to the 40, to the 45, 35 yard line and out of bounds.
On the far side of the field goes Elliott. That's that halfback screen.
They have to wait for the two linemen, the center and the guard on that side to pull out and set up the block on the linebacker and the cornerback.
Then Elliott slipped inside and finally Luke ran him out of bounds.
The Bengals get about 12 on the play as he was pushed out of bounds at the 35.
So they'll bring up a third down now and eight.
Those two safeties for Green Bay, Steve Luke, the third year man out of Ohio State and Johnny Gray, the third year man out of Cal State Fullerton.
They refer to them as the Hit Brothers.
So a big third down player for the Bengals. Eight to go at the Packer 35.
Brooks and Curtis go on opposite sides of the field. The cornerback on the right side, Mike McCoy, comes right up to the line of scrimmage with Curtis.
Corbett goes in motion, back to throw, goes Anderson, fires down the middle, incomplete, down at the 20 yard line.
Curtis was coming across and a flag is thrown back in front of where Anderson threw the ball.
Roughing the passer is going to be called against the Green Bay Packers, a late hit on somebody and with hands on hits walking dejectedly up field is Ezra Johnson, a rookie.
And it may have been assessed against him.
So that will give the Bengals an automatic first down, get a break in the penalty department this time.
But a walk off will take the ball from the 35 yard line, a line of scrimmage, all the way down to the 20.
See if we can catch the number.
Couldn't catch it. We're windowed in here so we can't pick up that D.A. outside.
But it's down at the 20 yard line and the Bengals have a first down at that point.
Philadelphia has a 21 to 7 lead over the New York Giants. That game apparently is at halftime.
Curtis near side, Brooks split to the far side. Now Brooks comes into motion, Anderson hands the ball off.
Wide around to the right side comes Elliott, gets the block, gets to the 15, along the sidelines to the 10 to the 5 and out of bounds perhaps at the 2 yard line.
Elliott getting up a couple of good blocks along the way as he just picked his way behind his blockers coming down the right side.
And McCoy and Gray finally ran him out of bounds at about the 2 and it will be first and goal.
Bengals in the last two minutes of the first half and they have taken this opening kickoff and controlled the ball for almost 6 minutes now here in the third quarter.
Have finally rounded into the kind of Cincinnati football team that we saw during that 5 and 1 record in preseason.
Bob Trumpy is back in at tight end for the Bengals. Just shaking up momentarily with his shoulder or arm or perhaps both arms.
But Trumpy is alright, first and goal at the 2. And off into the line, diving into the end zone for the touchdown goes Tony Davis.
And he spikes that ball. Tony Davis diving through that right side landed a couple of yards deep in the end zone and the Bengals go out in front now by a score of 13 to 7.
So the Bengals put together a good concerted 75 yard drive after taking their second half kickoff.
Tony Davis punched in from 2 yards out and the Bengals go out in front now 13 to 7.
One of his mothers listening on top of that hill outside of Omaha today. I don't think we reach out to that hillside in the daytime.
We have to wait until it gets darker. Marvin Cobble, Chris Byer will attempt the extra point.
Bonds are down, the ball is placed, the kick is high and up into the stands and it is good.
So it's time out on the field. With the score now, Bengals 14 and the Packers 7.
Here's a refreshing piece of news from Chevrolet. The new 78 Chevette 2 door hatchback has 18 new standard features.
And the base manufacturer suggested retail price that's $282 less than the 77 model would have cost with the same equipment.
That bears repeating. 18 features more, $282 less. You get a larger 1.6 liter engine,
white striped tires, wheel trim range, floor mounted console, swing out rear windows,
sports steering wheel and a quality built Delco AM radio just to name a few.
The new Chevy Chevette 2 door hatchback, a lot more car for a lot less money.
Here's more. Chevrolet is also introducing an all new Chevette 4 door hatchback
with more rear seat leg room than the 1977 4 door models of Toyota Corolla,
Datsun B210, even the Honda Civic Wagon. The 78 Chevettes, now at Chevy showrooms everywhere.
Here at County Stadium in Milwaukee, nine minutes and nine seconds remaining.
In the third quarter, the Bengals have taken a 14 to 7 lead.
That Buffalo New York Jets game is final, but the scoreboard is partially blocked by the stands to our right.
And it's difficult to see, so we'll have to wait until we get that score and we'll pass it on to you.
The Jets won the ball game. There's Bars, kicked to Odom. It's high and it's very deep.
Way back into the end zone, about five yards and Odom is going to try and come out.
He's going to get to the 10, runs into his own man and then knocked down at about the 18 yard line.
Odom gathered that ball at about five yards deep in the end zone and came out with it.
Jerry Anderson was the man who leveled him at about the 18 yard line.
Green Bay now has their hands on the ball for the first time here in the second half.
They'll be starting out from their own 18.
Bengals defensively, with the same group, Bacon and Burley,
Walter Johnson and Eddie Edwards up front,
LeClaire Harris Williams, the defensive secondary the same.
They send Odom out wide to the right and split the backs.
Hand off and into the right side and getting very little as Barty Smith just tried to move in over the right side.
An off-tackle power play and Eddie Edwards was right there to stop it.
And Gim Smith a couple of yards on the play. They put the ball out to the 20 yard line.
It'll be second and eight.
Bengals lead it 14 to seven now, 840 left to play in his third quarter.
I would assume that's a halftime score now.
Minnesota over Detroit 14 to nothing although it might be in the second period.
Odom comes to the left this time.
In the backs, Smith and Harrell line up in an eye.
It's Harrell running wide around the right side.
He's running into trouble and Jim LeClaire hauls him down at about the 21 yard line.
Harrell trying to sweep wide to the right, had to avoid a tackler at about the 18.
As he cut in up at the 21, LeClaire nailed him for a gain of just one yard in the play.
And now it'll become third and seven.
Again this afternoon, Jim LeClaire, the sixth grade 237 pound veteran out of North Dakota,
a six-year man, has been all over that field.
He takes charge of that defense in that middle linebacking position
and has really developed into one of the top middle linebackers in the NFL.
Ron Carpenter was scheduled to be released from the hospital this afternoon,
have a disc operation in his back.
Ron coming along well.
Dickey going back to throw, fires a swing pass out to the right.
At the 25, the man at the 21 yard line will be dropped.
Barty Smith coming out of the backfield, ran into all kinds of problems on the far side of the field.
Eddie Edwards had smelled it out and was over there to knock him down at the 22
and so the Packers will have to punt it away.
The Bengals could come out with pretty decent field position.
So David Beverly back to do the booting for the Packers.
In the first half of the game, the punting was not anything to write home about by either team.
Beverly punted once for 35 and McAnally had a 35 and a half yard average on a couple.
But Beverly with an average over 44 and a half coming into this game.
There's a snap back, a big rush is on, very, very short kick high into the air.
It landed about the Packers 43 and go out of bounds right there.
It was passed by Scott Perry and Beverly punted that ball right straight up in the air
and the Bengals will come out with excellent field position.
So there's time out on the field with a score of Bengals 14, Packers 7.

That 23-yard punt by the Packers' David Beverly gives the Bengals excellent field position
with 6 minutes and 57 seconds remaining in the third quarter
and the Bengals holding onto a 14-7 lead.
Cincinnati will put the ball in play first and 10 at the Green Bay 44-yard line.
The final round, New England blank to Seattle, Seahawks 31-0.
Bengals up on the line of scrimmage at the Packer 44.
Curtis tight right, Billy Brooks split out wide to the left.
And up, Booby Clark running wide around the right side.
Booby cuts in and powers his way ahead for 4 yards down to about the 40-yard line.
Mike Butler, the big rookie, ought to hold him along with Jim Carter,
Willie Buchanan, the cornerback on that side, also up to aid in the stop.
They'll put the ball just a little bit shy of the 40-yard line,
but for statistical purposes that's where it is.
The Bengals now have a second and six.
Bengals are due back at Greater Cincinnati Airport tonight shortly after 730
on their United Airlines charter jet.
Final now, the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Giants 28-10.
Slot formation left.
Trumpy is split out wide to the right.
Quick pitch, Trumpy gets a cutback block at the alley and running wide right and gets to the 35.
And that will be very close to what's needed for the first down.
Carter and Weaver, the two linebackers, over there to make the stop.
Trumpy went in motion toward the line of the scrimmage from his wide split on the right side.
Cutback to get a block on the cornerback.
And he powers the ball down to the 35-yard line where it'll be a five-yard gain
and will result in a third and one.
Now Tony Davis and Pete Johnson are back in the backfield for the Bengals.
Short yardage, third and one.
Seven men right up on the line of scrimmage.
On-count handoff goes to Pete Johnson.
He's got the first down plunging in over the right side,
moves the ball down to perhaps the 33-yard line, the middle line, roller and purifoy,
and help from a couple others there to bring it to a quick halt.
But Pete Johnson did his job, picked up the first down, and the Bengals have it at the pack 33.
Bengals leading 14-7, scoring in the final 30 seconds of that first half to tie it up
and then coming out for the second half of the 75-yard drive after taking the opening kickoff
to go out in front 14-7.
Very methodical drive, 15 plays, and they used up almost six minutes.
5.07, time left in the third quarter.
Slot formation left. Curtis wide.
Handoff in over the left side goes Pete Johnson.
There isn't much there. He gets maybe a yard and that's about all.
The Lin-Vilelli is back in the ball game.
Ezra Johnson, the other rookie in at the right-hand spot in place of second-year man Bob Barber,
made the stop.
So there was no gain on the play by Elliott, and at the 33 it becomes second and 10.
Clock running down to 4.42 left in this third period.
Final hour, Oakland beat the Browns 26-10.
The Browns got a late touchdown in the ball game.
Wide men on both sides. Curtis fireside, Billy Brooks on the near side.
Packers come across and flags go down.
Anderson back to throw.
Fires it down. Brooks catches it on the 18 on a quick slant and goes down there.
But flags were down. The Packers had jumped offside.
If they were not pulled offside, the Bengals of course will take the play.
Billy Brooks running a deep slant or perhaps a post, whatever you want to call it,
went up high to grab the ball and went down and Buchanan put him down right at the 18.
Great reception that time by Billy Brooks. He had to make a diving stab for it.
And that's one of the questions that fans have been asking this week.
Why not throw more to Billy Brooks, a first-round draft choice a year ago.
Coming into the ball game, he'd had only five receptions for 53 yards.
So now Glenn Buschnack checks in.
John Shinners goes out as the Bengals continue to messenger through their left guard.
The offside penalty declined by the Bengals and they'll take the ball down at the Packer 18.
Brooks now has three receptions this afternoon for 31 yards.
Brooks goes out to the left. Curtis comes to the right.
Curtis caught an 80-yard touchdown pass.
Those final few seconds of the first half to get the Bengals into a tie.
Booby Clark and Elliott are the running backs. Wide split behind Anderson.
Anderson to Clark up the middle. Hold is there. Booby gets down to the 15.
Tries to swing out to the left and is going to be dropped right about at the 15-yard line by Steve Luke, the strong safety.
Good, hard, punishing tackler. Clark makes free on the play to the 15 and it'll be second and seven.
During this third quarter now, the Bengals have had the ball for 21 plays.
The Packers have run only three plays and then were forced to punt.
And that was that 23-yard punt by David Beverly that set the Bengals up in excellent field position at the Packers 44.
Now a double-wing formation with Clark, the only back in behind Anderson.
Out of the double-wing to the left is Linville Elliott.
Cornerbacks come up the line of scrimmage as Anderson goes back to throw.
Fires down in the corner. It's intercepted and out of bounds at the 3-yard line by Steve Luke.
It was intended down in the corner for Billy Brooks and Luke stepped in front of the ball and intercepted it.
Unfortunately for the Bengals, he ran out of bounds. His momentum carried him out because there was nobody along that near sideline.
Anderson intercepted for the first time today and now there's time out on the field with the score Bengals 14, Packers 7.
Sometimes it's going down, the last one's coming on down. When friends come together, you just want to be alone.
Oh, it's a fun time, there's no other team. All the way, we're rolling in game, and you won't be here.
It's happy beauty time, it's happy beauty time. And we're happy in the happy right here, in happy beauty time.
Hey, happy, happy, happy beauty time. It's happy beauty time, it's happy beauty time.
And we're happy in the happy right here, in happy beauty time. Hey, happy, happy, happy beauty time.
The pride of Cincinnati's great brewing tradition. Beautiful Brewing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio.
That pass interception by Steve Luke, the strong safety for the Green Bay Packers, 6'2, 200 pounder, 30-year man out of Ohio State.
Played for Woody Hayes, was drafted fourth in 1975 when he was at Ohio State. He played both corner, back, and center.
Last year for the Packers, he started 12 games, and he's in there again, and that's starting strong safety.
That's only the second pass the Packers have intercepted this season, and Luke has them both.
So the Packers start out deep at their own three yard line.
Willard Harrell and Barty Smith as the running backs. They come out in an eye, handoff goes to the second man, Harrell.
He wiggles his way out to about the five yard line as he's planted in off right tackle.
Drag down over there by Walter Johnson, along with Burley.
Gettie Edwards also into the stop. Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification.
This is the Cincinnati Bengals football network.
This is the voice of the Cincinnati Bengals in central Ohio, WMNI.
Follow the football action of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Saturday afternoons, here on your sports leader, WMNI in Columbus.
Packers up at the line of scrimmage.
This time to handoff to the second man, Barty Smith, and he plunges out to the 10 and gets out to the 12 yard line as he comes to the left side.
Before he can be dragged down by Walter Johnson, good blocking on the left side of the Packer line by big Mark Concar, the second year man from Colorado, and Steve Knutson.
And they're just about a yard short of a first down out of the 12, and it'll be third and one.
Nothing fancy about that play at all, just sheer power inoff left tackle.
2.38, the time remaining here in the third period. Bengals lead the Packers 14 to 7.
Bengals looking for the stopper right here again to force the Packers to punt from deep in their own territory.
Smith and Harrell are running backs. He goes to Harrell in off the right side, and he gets to the 15 yard line and has the first down.
Little Willard Harrell slanted in off right tackle, got the first down as he moved it out over the 15 yard line and back to about the 16.
Very slow to unpile, there's a big pile of Packers and Bengals right about at the point of attack.
So it's first and 10, and Green Bay is out of that desperate hole they were in back at the three yard line.
Clock running, we're down to just 2.05 left in the third period.
The Shadows beginning to settle in over Milwaukee County Stadium at the end of the field where we're playing now, the remainder of the field is still bathed in sunshine.
One wide receiver to the right, everybody else is tight. This time it's Willard Harrell around the right side and he crawls forward for about a yard as he tried to dive in over a pack.
Jim LeClair got a hand on him as LeClair shot in the gap.
Bo Harrell is the left side linebacker, was down at the bottom of the pack and he kind of had to ball it over that, and then he was pinned down for good at about the 17.
So give Harrell one and it will be second and nine.
Much of the rushing yardage that the Packers have picked up this afternoon has been from the vaulting type of run that was just exhibited there by Harrell.
Harrell, Turkelson, Smith, all of them a lot of times have found those holes closed up and have had to vault over a pile of bodies to pick up yardage.
Now they split both the wide men, paying it on them out. The handoff goes to Harrell, he gets in over the right side and manages to wiggle his way out to about the 20 yard line.
That's all, Gary Burley, the left end, nailed him.
And that's a 20 now, the Packers will look at a third and six.
Dickie was six out of 11 in the first half of this ballgame, so now Randy Bataha checks in to replace Burt Asperden.
They swing Odom out to the left, the ring Bataha out to the right.
Keres goes up on the line of scrimmage, Roddy plays back. Dickie goes back to throw, looks, fires out the right flat, it's caught by Harrell, gets away from one man at the 25, comes up to the 30 and dragged down from behind at the 40 by Gary Burley.
Swung it out in the right flat, Bataha got a good block, Harrell took it out over there.
And Lamar Keres was kind of helpless over there as the blocker was coming over to help out.
And Burley had to run him down from behind and finally hauled him down at the 41 after the play picked up 21.
And Green Bay is really out of the hole now and moving at their own 41.
That'll be the last play of the third quarter as we're down in the final five seconds now.
And we'll change ends of the field before anything more is done offensively or defensively.
The gun sounds at the end of the third quarter. We'll destroy Bengals 14 and the Packers seven.

where you'll hear the best in country music.
We are your good neighbor, WMNI.
In Cone County Stadium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the Cincinnati Bengals lead the Green Bay Packers 14 to 7.
We're starting the fourth and final quarter, the Packers ball, first and 10 at their own 41-yard line.
On the scoreboard, Minnesota leading Detroit 14 to nothing, second quarter, San Diego leading New Orleans 7 to nothing in the second.
Philadelphia defeated the New York Giants by a score of 28 to 10.
The Oakland Raiders picked up their 17th straight victory.
The record is 18, held by Chicago twice and Miami.
Oakland won their 17th in a row this afternoon, beating Cleveland 26 to 10.
Pittsburgh leads Houston 10 to 7, that is in the third quarter now, and New England defeated Seattle 31 to nothing.
They have rookie Nate Simpson from Tennessee State in the running back spot now, along with Barty Smith.
Ashton comes in, they have only owed him split wide to the left.
Handoff is to Simpson, he circles wide around the left side, and he gets away from one man,
he'll get up to 45 and knocked out of bounds about there by Marvin Cobb.
Managed to elude Reggie Williams back at about the 40.
Got out wide, Cobb came up to knock him down, so Simpson carries wide left on his first 4A into the lineup here this afternoon.
Packers at the 45 will now be looking at a second and six.
Bengals lead at 14 to 7 as we enter this fourth and final quarter of play.
The four o'clock games are all getting underway, Atlanta and San Francisco, Dallas and St. Louis, and Kansas City and Denver.
We have nothing on the Washington-Tampa Bay game, that is not up on the board.
And the Bears and Rams, of course, play tomorrow night.
And high formation now with Simpson, the deep man, Barty Smith up short.
The pitch back to Simpson, comes running wide to the right.
There isn't much of any place to go, but he makes about five yards still on his feet and gets into the Bengals territory.
It'll be hauled down at about the 47.
Reggie Williams finally had to put the soccer on him, and it looked as though he might be stopped back at about the 45-yard line.
And the Bengals have been guilty of some sloppy tackling this afternoon, right from the first offensive series that the Packers had.
The tackling has not been crisp and sharp at all.
So it's a first down for Green Bay at the Packer or at the Bengals 47-yard line.
So Simpson in the lineup carries twice, picks up the necessary yardage for the first down.
Again, they line up in an high formation.
Odom is split left.
And off goes to the short man, this time Barty Smith, and he's nailed by Burley right at the line of scrimmage.
Burley just sliced in from that left-hand spot and nailed Barty Smith right at the line of scrimmage.
The ball right at the 47, where the Packers will have a second and ten.
Just under 14 minutes remaining in this game.
A week from tomorrow night, the Bengals and the Steelers, the first meeting of the year over at Three Rivers in Pittsburgh.
Packers up to this point have gained 199 yards on the afternoon, the Bengals 217.
Houston is tied up Pittsburgh in the third period at ten.
Asks him to the right, Odom to the left.
Dickey goes straight back to throw.
Blitz is on it, fired it out of the flat, and Simpson is going to be hit out there and dragged down by Ken Roddy back at the Packer 46.
The blitz was on, Reggie Williams, I think it was, was coming, and he had to dump that ball off in a hurry.
And Ken Roddy came up in the cornerback spot on the right to dunk him for a loss of about six from the Bengals 47 back to the Packers 47.
And now it becomes third and 16.
A couple of new players check into the Packer backfield.
Randy Vitaha is one of them.
Asks him, goes out.
Payne and Vitaha are the two wide receivers. They come out to the right.
They split their tight end out to the left, their double wing, and back to throw goes Dickey.
Looks, fires the ball down the middle.
It's dropped at the 45-yard line. Reaching high was Vitaha.
The ball actually was a little bit behind him, reached as high as he could, had the ball on his fingertips momentarily, and then it got away.
So David Beverly will come in to boot.
And the Bengals will get their hands on the football once again here with 12-47 left to play in the game.
Well, the Houston Oilers are giving the Pittsburgh Steelers, at least up to this time, a very, very surprisingly tough ball game.
Houston has 17 rookies on that ball club, and most of them are on offense.
Alana Skirmi is the 46. The snap back to Beverly gets the punt away.
A lazy high punted Willie Shelby will take it to 10. Tries to get around to the right, and the captain is dropped by one of the two wide men downfield 100 times.
We got him back at about the 8.
Delta's time out on the field. Score, Bengals 14, Packers 7.
The winter of 77 was rough, and it was mean, and it was cold.
And it took more fuel oil to keep everything going than anybody believed possible.
And it took more heart. Longer hours, shorter nights, and emergencies are the way of life.
If it was ever a time when getting together would do it better, the winter of 77 was here.
There are heroes you'll never hear about, stories that will never be told.
But probably the best story about the winter of 77 is what couldn't happen.
And all the people who didn't run out of oil, because they're a marathon fuel oil, either, got there in time.
And he got there because he wanted better, because that's the only way he could have it.
We got together to do it better.
That's not oil, Captain. We got together to do it better. We do it.
There's David Beverly, who punted once the first half for a 35-yard average, that one punt going 35.
Got one away here when he needed it. This last one, 44 yards.
And the Bengals, because of the change in field position at the end of the quarter,
are now starting out almost exactly where the Packers started out when they got the ball with 3.38 to go in the third quarter.
They started first and ten at the three-yard line. The Bengals are five yards farther upfield.
They have a first and ten at their own eight-yard line, 12 minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the ballgame.
And the Bengals lead it by a score of 14 to 7.
The Bengals will be home two weeks from this afternoon to take on the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos going for their fourth consecutive win against Kansas City this afternoon.
And that Denver Bronco game with the Bengals is sandwiched right in between Denver's two games with the Oakland Raiders.
Booby Clark and Elliott at the running backs.
Bengals come out with a slot formation to the left.
Elliott goes in motion off to the right side, and the handoff goes to Clark.
He goes wide right, cuts in, Booby gets out to the ten, and his hit hard at about the 11-yard line will be swarmed down
by three or four Packers there led by Carter.
They went to the same side that Len Villelli had was put in motion.
Got the ball out to the 12-yard line, make it, so give them four.
And the Bengals now have a second and six.
Both the home bench and the visiting bench here at County Stadium is on the far side of the field,
and both coaches are at a disadvantage now because where they're playing,
The coaches are looking directly into that setting sun.
Curtis comes to the left, Bill Brooks comes to the right.
Curtis has caught just one pass this afternoon.
That was for the touchdown.
And a handoff, Elliott sneaking his way through the line, breaks out over the 15,
gets out to about the 17-yard line, and Clarence Williams in at the left-end spot in place of Mike Butler got him,
or he might have romped off a pretty long way because there was open field in front of him.
And up, Pete Johnson and Tony Davis check in on the third-and-one situation at the 17.
This has been the Bengals' operation this afternoon.
Elliott and Clark have been the regular backs, and then when they go to the short-yardage situation,
third-and-one or third-and-two or second down, or what the case may be,
by Pete Johnson and Tony Davis have gone into the game.
Packers bunch them in tight. They have seven men right up on the line of scrimmage.
Bengals' offensive formation is tight as Pete Johnson into the middle.
Pete wiggles his way out to perhaps around the 18-yard line, just about what he needed for the first down.
Ezra Johnson and a host of others, and just all depends now on where they're going to spot that football.
They're still un-potting them down there, and you can't see what's what yet.
Elliott and Davis are coming back onto the field, so they think it was the first down,
but now we finally get the way cleared, and we can't see the ball because of the Green Bay Packers players
standing around, and as close enough they're going to bring in the chains to measure.
11-13 is the time remaining here in the ball game, and the Bengals have a 14-7 lead over the Packers.
It looks like it's just about a half a yard ahead of that stake. It just is, just over the stake.
Pete Johnson just picked up the yard he needed.
Now the Bengals hold onto the ball here at their own 18-yard line, and have the first down,
as they've moved it out from the eight. Clock shows 11-13 left to play.
Bengals lead it 14-7, tying the game up late in the first half,
then taking the opening kickoff of the third quarter, moving 75 yards to score.
Park and Elliott back on the backfield, tight left. Brooks split to the right side.
And off in over right tackle goes Booby Clark, and he's got a couple of yards.
He crosses the 20, gets out to about the 22 before he's hurled back by Carter and Weaver.
So Booby will get about three in the play, perhaps four.
John Shinners checks in with the play as Glenn Bushnock checks out.
Shinners had that dislocated toe suffered a couple of weeks ago,
and this is the first time that he has seen action since that toe problem.
They put it down at the 22, and that will make it second and six.
Curtis and Brooks come in a slot formation out of the left. Curtis the wide man.
McCoy about eight yards off that line of skirmish.
And up, Booby Clark running to the outside. Booby gets to the 25, going right.
Crosses to about the 26-yard line, made about four more yards on that play.
A straight slant to the right. Barber, the second-year defensive end from Grambling, made the stop.
The 26-yard line out will be third and two, and again Davis and Pete Johnson check back into the Bengal backfield.
I guess you can say it was almost by accident that he discovered Darcy Griffin's cracked rib this week.
He went to the doctor to have an injured toe x-ray. That was all right, but it was then they found the cracked rib.
Now the Packers bunch in tightly in the third and two situation.
It's just a matter of strength against strength.
Running to the outside, Tony Davis, the flag is down, and he's knocked down for a loss on the play, but a flag was thrown.
And let's get the call. It's holding, the preliminary call against the Bengals.
The Packers will probably refuse it because the Bengals will have to punt the football away.
Davis was knocked down for a loss of about a yard as he attempted to swing out to his right.
Now the Packers are changing units, so they'll decline the penalty, and they'll take over the football.
Or rather, the Bengals will be forced to punt it from their own 25.
So little Willard Harrell drops back along with Johnny Gray, and twin safeties for the Packers.
And Pat McAnally, who has not got off any good McAnally boomers this afternoon, will try to leg them down the field.
The Packers' safety men don't show much respect.
They're only about 35 yards downfield. Harrell, the deepest man.
In fact, less than that. He's only about 32. Now he's going to back up.
It's a bit of a caveat. His sights readjusted a little bit, moved back about three yards.
Lines are down, waiting for the snap, and there it is.
McAnally gets the boot away and is right to Harrell at the 40.
Now he tries to go wide around Scott Perry, gets them, drags them down back at about the 37.
Scott Perry, one of the wide men. And that certainly was not much of a boot that time by McAnally.
He's covered about 34 yards, and there's time out on the field with the score of Bengals 14 Packers 7.
Some people wonder, why spend money on replacement windows when they already have good windows in their home?
Well, maybe some of these new sash customer letters will help you understand why.
Dear Mr. Johnson, I wondered about spending money on new sash windows, but my reservations are now gone.
My wife thinks they're beautiful and very easy to clean.
But the amazing thing is that they keep the thermostat on 65 degrees all winter long,
and our furnace only comes on four or five times a day instead of 10 or 15 times in the past.
Thank you. Our new sash windows are paying for themselves.
While fuel savings are important to you this winter, give Bill Johnson a call at 267-8396.
New sash is the only window with a good housekeeping seal of approval,
and new sash replacement windows are custom made for a perfect fit.
Call Bill Johnson at 267-8396, and let him show you how to save up to 30 percent or more in heating costs.
That 24-hour number again, 267-8396. Always ask for the original new sash.
We'll put them all in play, first and 10 of their own 37-yard line.
Quarterback Lynn Dickey will have running backs Willard Harrell and Marty Smith in behind him.
His wide receivers are Steve Odom, the 5-foot, 8-inch Mighty Mite from Utah, 174 pounder,
and Ken Payne, the four-year veteran out of Langston.
Odom is the guy ran back up on about 90 yards here a few years ago when the Bengals were up here for a preseason game.
They send him out to the left. The Packers ready to go with their own 37.
Lynn Dickey fakes, goes back on play, action to throw. Now he's forced out of the pocket, runs off to the right,
looking still, out fires at a mile down the field, and it is incomplete.
Over the head of everybody who jumped for it down at the 15-yard line.
Bert Askson was the intended receiver, and Riley and Ferris were back there,
and I really think Dickey just threw it away because he saw that he was well covered.
He was flushed out of the pocket and had to drift off to his left,
and Nikoi Bacon could not get around the blocker to get over to him.
Dickey just planted himself and let it go. So it comes all the way back to the 37 where it'll be second and 10.
That took nine seconds up at the clock. Clock is set now with nine minutes and 20 seconds to go.
Dickey nine for 16 on the afternoon. He threw the 14-yard touchdown pass to Barty Smith.
They put wide receivers on both sides, Smith and Harrell, in behind Dickey, second and 10 Packers at their own 37.
A straight drop back this time by Dickey. Flips it over the middle.
It's caught by McGeorge, the tight end, and he's dropped at about the 42.
A little pass off to the left to Rich McGeorge, the tight end, who is drifting off into that flat.
Reggie Williams got over there to collar him at about the 43.
They got about six yards on the play, and the Packers now will have a third and four.
Down to 8.58 remaining to be played in the game. The Bengals have a 14-7 lead over Green Bay.
Away from tomorrow night, the Bengals and Steelers over at Three Rivers.
Two weeks from this afternoon, the Bengals and Denver Broncos at Riverfront Stadium.
No reports this afternoon on the Kansas City-Denver game.
That being played at Mile High Stadium in Denver, and that one just got underway about 20 minutes ago.
Hayden and Odom split on opposite sides. Dickey juggles a snap, but goes back to throw, and Ilobs it out in the flat, and it's incomplete.
And Tennifer Barty Smith right over there with him was Bo Harris, and they arrived at about the same time.
And the pass was incomplete, so the Packers will have to punt it away.
So the clock has stopped. 8.30 left, and David Beverly will go into, booted away to Willie Shelby.
The Bengals were going to have Lamar Parrish return punt, but when Parrish returned, only his second one this year,
he came up with a case of bruised ribs and left him to that.
And Parrish has not been back there since.
There's a snap back to Beverly. Again, a big rush is on, and he gets a good high spiral away.
Willie Shelby drifts over the right and then lets the ball go, and it bounces out of bounds down at about the Bengals' 18-yard line.
So the Bengals will put it in play there. There's a time out on the field. Score remains, Bengals 14, Packers 7.
See what's new today in Chevrolet. The dealer is inviting you to come see what's new today.

See what's new today.
A couple of updates on the scoreboard. Now in the third quarter, the Houston Oilers have Pittsburgh by a score of 17 to 10.
In the first period, the St. Louis Cardinals lead Dallas 3 to nothing. Bengals have it first and 10 at their own 18-yard line.
8.23 to go in the ballgame. Bengals lead the Packers 14 to 7.
Clark and Elliott. Running backs. There's been a good, bruising defensive struggle here.
Hand off. Around the outside goes Elliott. There isn't much of any place to go and he's going to wind up losing about three or four.
He's really corralled by a couple of Packers on the far side of the field. One Willie Buchanan, a cornerback over on that side.
There just wasn't any place to go and that one will cost the Bengals about three yards.
Back to the 17-yard line. It'll be second and 13.
Clock running. We're down to eight minutes remaining to be played in this game.
Jester Markol has missed one field goal for the Packers. The Bengals have not attempted a field goal this afternoon.
Packers scored first. The Bengals tied it up in the final 30 seconds of the first half.
Brooks to the far side. Curtis to the near side. Again, the cornerback's about eight yards off that line of scrimmage.
As Anderson on play, action goes back to throw. Fires it down the middle. Trumpy catches it and goes down at the 39.
Trumpy caught that ball right straight down the middle.
And as he was hit, now Trumpy is down on the field at the 39. I believe he may have gotten it in the back as he turned around.
Trumpy was facing around toward his left and then had to turn around and was rolling down looking toward his right as he came up with the ball.
Johnny Gray came up to put him down and he may have gotten a knee into Trumpy because Trumpy is requiring some attention down there at the 40 yard line.
Mark Collins, the trainer, and Dr. Timberman are both out on the field with Trumpy. He's back up on his feet now.
So the Bengals find that middle open and Kenny Anderson hits Trumpy. That's the second time that Trumpy has been shaken up this afternoon.
Now, Trumpy, of course, and Bob Johnson are the only original Bengals remaining, both in season number 10.
And Trumpy has talked about the possibility before that this might be his final year of professional football.
But that we shall find out sometime during the offseason probably. The Bengals have first in 10 now at their own 40.
The Cardinals have a 3-0 lead over Dallas. That's in the first period.
The Bengals have a left-slot formation to the right. Bengals out at their own 40.
Handoff goes to Clark, punches his way into the left side and gets perhaps three yards.
He was hit right about at the 40 yard line, but he shook off one tackler and then got out and looped.
Along with Ezra Johnson, the rookie, has been playing a end spot for the Packers much of the second half combined to make the stop.
So Clark was held a three and it'll be second and seven at the Bengals 43.
Bengals lead it 14 to 7. Curtis comes to the near side. Bill Brooks goes to the far side.
All teams this year have had their cornerbacks off about eight yards on the line of scrimmage, where the Packers have played all afternoon.
The Blitz is on as Anderson goes back to throw. He's got a quick out on the far side.
Billy Brooks eludes one man down to the 40 yard line and all the way down to the 35.
A good move on that deep out by Billy Brooks over on the far side of the field.
The Blitz was on. Two linebackers were coming.
And then Brooks caught the pass, stepped away from the cornerback over on that side,
and actually made about seven or eight more yards to the point where he caught the ball down to the Packer 35.
So that play is good for 22 and a quick first down.
Good move, as Bill said, by Billy Brooks.
And you could almost see those wheels spinning as he took that pass, anticipating what that defender was going to do.
And it was a one-on-one, head-on-head duel at that time. And who was going to out-guess who?
Jenny Anderson, 12 for 16 now for 167. Of course, the one touchdown.
Slot formation right. Hand off to Clark, the first man into the left side.
And Booby fights his way forward for about three or four yards to the 31.
Jim Corbett, the tight end, blocking on that side as they ran the strong side slant.
Again, Ezra Johnson was the man who was in on the stop.
This Packer, defensive front four, has been completely rebuilt this year.
Mike McCoy, of course, held down that left tackle spot for a number of years.
At one point early in the season, the Packers switched them over to offense.
That didn't last long. Then brought them back to defense.
And then finally shipped them off to the Oakland Raiders.
So Mike Butler, the rookie, had taken over one spot.
Now Ezra Johnson and Bob Barber in there with Curafoy and Roller.
As the tackles.
Corbett goes in motion out to the right, second and six.
Bengals back, stumped out the land ball out here to get the block.
Cuts inside, gets to the 30, down to the 25, to the 20,
and will run out of bounds inside at about the 19.
Forced out of bounds by Gray and McCoy.
He had to wait until Bushnock and Bob Johnson could get over there
for the freeing blocks on that half-back screen left.
And then he cut inside and had the room then and got it out of the 19-yard line.
So gained about 12 yards on the play and another first down.
It's great to watch the blocking developer on that half-back screen.
You see Elliott come out there and take that pass,
and you think to yourself immediately he is in deep trouble.
And all of a sudden you see Bushnock and Bob Johnson coming out there
and setting up to take out the men they're supposed to,
and Elliott finds the running room he needs.
Bengals right down near the shortstop position on the dirt.
And off to Booby Clark, in over the left side,
and Booby Clunk is his way forward inside the 15,
dragging a couple of tacklers with him, gets it to the 14-yard line.
Man who had him was Clarence Williams,
and he got some more help before Booby dragged it ahead for about five yards
to the 14-yard line, and it will be second and five.
And with that, Glenn Bushnock checks back into the lineup.
He and John Shinners are the messenger guards this afternoon.
Shinners, number 64, trots off the field.
Bushnock has come in with a play for Kenny Anderson.
Clark unofficially has 17 carries for 86 yards this afternoon,
and that's five a pop.
Time remaining, 4.25.
Bengals lead at 14-7, threatening again.
Billy Brooks goes in motion from left over to the far side of the field.
Anderson with the ball, drops back, sets it up.
Brooks is open, but a flag is down, and the 15 is stripped up to the 13.
Berm Holland, after a guy, that's McCoy over there, he gave Holland a shove,
and Holland took exception to it, came back and let one fly at him,
and two teams quickly get over there to break it up.
The flag was thrown right over near the point where the ball was caught.
Holland was pulling out over there.
He may have thrown a block at McCoy, or it may have been a clip.
Let's see what it's going to be.
Suki usually doesn't get rattled like that, but he kind of took exception to that shove.
It was absolutely useless by McCoy because they were away from the play,
and the play was over.
Then Holland let one right fly at him.
It may hurt his hand.
We'll see what the penalty call is.
The Bengals are going backwards, so I would assume that it is going to be against them.
Let's get the preliminary call.
It's an illegal procedure against the Bengals.
And Holland has gone off the field.
I don't know if he has been ejected.
Did not.
No, he's still on the field.
The officials are still trying to decide this one, just see what they want to do with the ball.
We've got unsportsmanlike conduct against the Bengals,
and that will come back on the 14-yard line, and it will remain second and five.
And many of the 53,653 in attendance didn't like that call.
They actually sold 54,687 tickets today.
That means there were 1,034 no-shows.
The attendance, 53,653.
Now the Packers are questioning the call, and now Bob Johnson comes over to the court.
And now Bob Johnson comes over to get into the thing,
and McCoy is unhappy about it because he was called to the unsportsmanlike conduct,
and a couple of his teammates drag him away and none too gently.
Because of his action and shoving Holland, and then Holland returning the favor,
by a couple of offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties were called.
If that's the way they're finally going to resolve the thing, and that's the way it is,
then the call will stay at the 14-yard line, it will be second and five.
Despite the fact that we're in close, just a slight window opener,
you can hear the displeasure being vented by the Packers fans at County Stadium.
The call will go back to the 14-yard line.
On the near side comes Brooks, Curtis goes to the far side.
The Packers of course will have to play a man-to-man down here.
Brooks goes wide right, and the safety follows him.
Anderson drifts off to the right, fires down to the ten, and out of bounds goes Brooks after catching it there.
And then Brooks out on the right flat, took that pass, pained about four yards in the play,
and will bring up a third and one.
Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification.
This is the Cincinnati Bengals football network.
WMNI in Columbus, Ohio, the time is 4.32.
Bill Samp and Jimmy Crom back at Milwaukee County Stadium,
where Izzy Curtis goes out now, the Bengals go to two tight ends in the third and one situation down at the Packers end.
Pete Johnson and Tony Davis are back in there, and both lines bunched tightly.
And off goes Depeat, and he has the first down, but a flag is thrown.
Thrown in the backfield, and let's go.
It's going to be a holding call against the Bengals.
They have the first down at the eight, and this one will be wiped out by the hole.
That'll move the ball back to the 20-yard line, and now it'll become third and 11.
Another costly penalty against the Bengals.
Instead of having a first down and goal at the eight, they lined up with third and 11 back at the 20.
See if we can catch the number.
Number 36?
Ooh, Len Villeglia.
Yeah, it was Len Villeglia.
I didn't think he was in there.
He wasn't, he was right.
Maybe he said 46.
Len Villeglia was not in there.
He's back in there now.
So at the 20 now, it becomes third and 11.
The Packers put their, I thought they were going with a couple of extra defensive backs.
They might be, but they've got four men up front.
Curtis goes to the far side, and Bill Brooks comes to their side.
The Packers come across the line of scrimmage, and flags go down.
Anderson drops back, fires it down into the end zone.
Curtis can't hold it as he's going out of bounds down at about the one.
Now that one will cost the Packers five yards.
It'll put it back to the 15-yard line, and we'll go through it all again.
It'll be third and about six.
John Hanson is in at the middle linebacking spot for Jim Carter.
Carter injured here just a play or so ago.
Shinner is very, very gentlemanly, like, picks up the official flag and hands it back to him as he walks over.
You know, John Shinner lives right up here in Hartford, just outside Milwaukee.
His dad ordered 245 tickets to get for the game this afternoon.
John, of course, is in the publishing business with his father up here.
That's about the whole town of Hartford.
Brooks goes to the far side now, and Curtis comes to their side.
We're back at the 15, third and sixth. Four minutes left to play in this game.
The double-wing formation is Lynn Galelli. It comes out to the left on the wing.
Anderson goes back to throw, has the time.
Brooks steps up, now is going to run, and he'll be dropped at the 19-yard line.
Everybody covered downfield, nobody to throw it to.
Anderson just put his hand down and got to the 19, and that will bring in Chris Barr for an apparent field goal attempt.
Ball at the 19, it'll be about a 36-yard boot. It'll be Barr's first attempt at the afternoon.
Another crucial holding penalty.
Instead of a first and goal at the 8, the Bengals wind up now back at the 20.
Penalty to the 15, and now we'll be forced to go for the field goal.
The ball will be put down by Marvin Cobb at the 26. It'll be a 36-yard attempt by Barr, who is two out of four on the season.
One for one between 20 and 29 yards, and one for two between 30 and 39.
So the lines are down finally. We're getting set. The ball will be put on the grass.
Down the kick is up in the air, and it is no good. It's wide to the right. So both Mark Hall and Barr,
if this from 36 yards down, the score is based 14 to 7. That was a mighty, mighty big field goal.
With the 3.37 left, of course, the touchdown would tie the game.
Though the Packers will take over, they'll have the ball at their own 20-yard line.
Dallas to side up the Cardinals. They're a 3-3 in the first period now.
Houston still holding that 17-10 lead over the Steelers in the third quarter.
San Diego 7, New Orleans nothing. That was a halftime score.
Minnesota ahead of Detroit 14 to nothing. That was also a halftime score.
Olsen beat Cleveland 26-10. So the Packers send out Bain and Odom.
Bob Wyatt to the left. The backs in an eye. Unplay action. Dickie back to throw.
Had to sidestep a rush. Now fires upfield. It was stopped by Bluehairs at the 30.
He runs it back to the 25. Bulldogs his way down to the 20. It'll be down right there.
Bluehairs reached up high, grabbed that ball off his fingertips,
and a couple of other players start shoving around.
And one bank will grab the Packer and throws him away.
Then the Packer throws a punch at him, and so they start shoving around on the far side of the field.
But Bluehairs, with a big interception after Dickie had to step out of the pocket because of a big rush,
was knocked off balance when he ran into one of his own running backs.
And then threw it straight up the right side, and Bluehairs picked it off at the 30.
It kind of ran those last five yards like a halfback, just following along with a couple of Packers right down him.
And the Bengals get their second interception of the afternoon.
They both bend by linebackers. Jim McClare picked one off in the first half.
And the Bengals have the ball right back knocking at the door at the Packer 20.
Time remaining, 3.25. Bengals lead 14-7. Clark and Elliott are the running backs.
Curtis tight right. Bill Brooks split to the left. Handoff into the line. Clark comes off to the right side, cuts in,
gets inside the 15, and plunges on down to about the 12.
Jim Carter, back in the lineup, had hold of him first of all, and Johnny Gray finally had to put him down.
Because Booby Clark is now over 90 yards rushing this afternoon, as he gets himself about 8 there from the 20-yard line down to close to the 12.
And I think for statistical purposes, although those markers out on the field are scratched off,
there we can see the nose of the ball that is at the 12. So give Clark 8, and it will be second and 2.
Time on the clock, 2.51 remaining. Wide receiver split to the right.
And the one that's behind Anderson is Clark again, and Booby inside the 10 to the 9 as he tried it in the left side,
running on the side with Rufus Mays, along with Glenn Buschnack, and they're going to put the ball right down at the 10-yard line.
Although it looked from here as though he had made it to about the 9-yard line, and that may be close enough.
They're going to, might have to have it now, they're putting it back outside the 10-yard line. How can that be?
That doesn't make sense at all. Clark, with the ball nestled in his arms, was inside the 10 at the 9,
and the ball is put about a foot outside the 10-yard line, so it will be third and 1.
Well, it was actually third and about 8 inches.
So Tony Davis and Pete Johnson are back in the backfield.
The Bengals are letting the clock just run down to the 2-minute warning here, and we're one second away, and there we are.
So there's a timeout on the field, with a score of Bengals 14, Packers 7.

Phil Samp and Jimmy Crumb back at Milwaukee County Stadium, where the Bengals will have a third and just inches to go down at the Packers 10-yard line.
Baltimore has a 31-28 lead over Miami now in the third quarter.
Although that game should be just about over, it's in the fourth quarter, but that's the latest score that we have.
The Finals, Oakland beat Cleveland 26-10, New England blanks Seattle 31-0, Philadelphia beat the New York Giants 28-10.
They have nothing on Kansas City or Denver. Okay, third and short yardage, Johnson and Tony Davis.
The Bengals running backs down at the Packers 10.
Hand off to Pete, and he's got the first down plunging in over the right side at that time behind Lapham, and Bernhardt got that ball down to about the 8 or 9, and the Bengals have the first down.
And of course, running off time on the clock.
And the Packers are between the Devils and the Deep Blue Sea right now, because if they call time out, they'll be wasting them when they get the ball back on offense, should the Bengals score, if they get the ball back.
And if they don't call the time out, the Bengals will take plenty of time all the time they need, because they have the 14-7 lead, and a minute 54 left, and somebody has called time out right now.
That may have been Green Bay, certainly the Bengals would not. It'll be Bengals first and goal at the 9.
Clock to stop with 1.54 remaining to be played.
Week from tomorrow night, the Bengals play the Steelers over at Three Rivers Stadium, and two weeks from this afternoon, we'll be back at Riverfront for the first time in four weeks to take on the Denver Broncos.
Right now, in the third quarter, Houston has a 17-10 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and that game is a little behind time, too.
The New York Jets beat Buffalo. We can't see the final. It looks like 24-19.
So Clark and Elliott back in the running backs positions, and the Bengals come out with a slot right. Curtis Wyden, Billy Brooks in the slot.
On count, the handoff goes to Elliott around the right side, gets away from the tackler, slips. We'll get back to just the line of scrimmage, and that's all.
He got away from Dave Roller behind the line of scrimmage, but then slipped in the process, and just about got back to the line of scrimmage at the 9- or 10-yard line.
May have lost a yard in the play, and again, I believe the Packers are going to call a time out, stopping the clock with a minute and 42 seconds remaining.
Bengals had a chance to put it away, but Chris Fier missed a 36-yard field goal. If the Bengals don't score, you'll have another opportunity right here to put it away, put it beyond the point where the Packers could reach it.
It's 14-7 right now.
It brought you up to date on all the other scores. There haven't been any changes. The Bengals will have a second and goal at the 10.
As I mentioned, the Bengals' playing is due back in Cincinnati about 7-30 tonight. Kenny Anderson over in the sidelines, talking with the offensive coaches over there.
A few of the people have left Milwaukee County Stadium, but not very many.
A crowd of around 53,000 on hand this afternoon, but notice the ball is right at the 10, where it will be second and goal.
The Packers again have called a time out.
Coming into the games this afternoon, the other three teams in the division, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Houston, were 2-1, and the Bengals were 1-2.
So back to action. Up to the line of scrimmage, the Bengals were the second and goal. Clark and Elliott are the running backs. One wide receiver off to the right.
Handoff into the right side. Clark down to the 5, and the flag is thrown as he gets to the 3-yard line, and I believe that the Bengals are going to be called for holding, and I think maybe it will be John Shinners.
So the penalties have been absolutely brutal coming at the wrong time this afternoon.
And Booby Clark had made it all the way down to the 4-yard line, and would have just about hit the 100-yard mark in rushing if that play had not been nullified by the holding penalty.
I don't know that it was against Shinners, but he was on the ground and very disgusted when the call was made.
That's the eighth penalty against the Cincinnati Bengals. That takes it back to the 20-yard line. It will be second and goal.
It runs some time off the clock, which is stopped with a minute and 38 seconds left to play.
Clark on that play made about 6 yards, and that would have put him over the 100-yard mark for rushing, but it was wiped out by the hold.
And now Curtis goes to the right, and Brooks comes to the left. Clark and Elliott with a wide split behind Anderson.
Bengals with a second and goal. Anderson goes back to throw. Swings it out to the right. It's caught by Elliott.
He's down. He gets away at the 15, goes down to the 10, and gets all the way down to the 8 before Ezra Johnson can hit him from behind.
He broke a tackle at about the 15. One man had him around the legs, and he got the ball all the way back down to about the 7-yard line or 8-yard line.
And now flags go up in the air again. Belatedly, they're just thrown now. Let's see what this one's going to be.
They're consulting with the Green Bay Packers, and the Bengals are backing up.
They're still talking about it. It's going to be walked off against the Bengals for the minute 21. This one will take it back to the 22-yard line.
Rufus Mays may have been called for a personal foul on that one. I don't know what.
It is against Rufus Mays, but it's unsportsmanlike conduct. So a penalty wipes out another one. That's the Bengals' ninth penalty this afternoon.
And that continues to be just a real bugaboo. It's not only the number, but it's when they occur that have been killing the Bengals' offense.
Well, it'll remain second down, and we've been stuck on second down now for a long time, or third down.
And the down hit elapsed, and the call is against them after the whistle had blown. So it's third down, and the Bengals are back at their own 22.
Anderson with a handoff, folding down to the 15-yard line, down to the 13-yard line goes Lenville Elliott.
That'll make the field goal situation just that much shorter, and in comes Chris Barr.
Clock down to a minute 10. The Packers, I believe, have just one timeout remaining, and now they have called it to stop the clock with a minute and nine seconds remaining.
Three timeouts have been called. The last two have been charged against the Packers. I'm not sure about the first one.
So the ball is at the 14-yard line. It means Barr will try it from about 31 yards out.
The Packers call a timeout to give them a little time to think about it. The ball will be put down in the dirt.
Barr, just a short time ago, missed from 36 yards out.
So the Bengals have been penalized nine times this afternoon, and they've just wiped out a first and goal situation down at the 8-yard line,
and the Bengals have been able to get the ball back as far as just about the length of the football inside the 15, where this field goal attempt will come from.
The Bengals lead it 14-7 in a minute and nine seconds, the time remaining on the clock, and the Bengals could put the game away right here if Barr is successful on his field goal.
He has made two out of five in the year now.
So the official signal is now that we're ready to go. It's going to be from 32 yards out. Marvin Cobb will put it down at the 22.
Crowd streaming. There's the snap back. The kick is up in the air. It's away, and this one is good.
So Chris Barr hits from 32 yards out, and that gives the Bengals a 10-point lead now with a minute and five seconds left to go.
Chris Barr with a 32-yard field goal ups the count to 17-10.
And this is just about the type of scoring game that the Packers and the Vikings and the Lions and Bears generally play in the central division.
They don't generate a lot of offense, but they have pretty good defenses.
So with a minute and five seconds left now, the Bengals will kick off, holding a 17-7 lead.
Steve Odom will be the deep man when the Packers finally get things talked over and decide who they're going to put where as they're still huddled up and talking as Barr goes back into the shade at the 35-yard line to put the ball down.
Let's see if he'll boot it.
Now they're going back to Andre Thompson is going back to be the deep man this time, number 43, and he's flanked by a couple of men at about the 20-yard line.
So Barr advances on the ball and there's the kick. It's a knuckler that will be lined to Thompson at the 5.
Up to the 10, to the 15, to the 20. Straight up the field at the 25-30, 31-yard line he's hit and knocked down.
Scott Ferry got up there to put the stop on him. Barr just lined that kickoff, so Thompson had a little room to run it back before he ran into anybody.
The Packers now at their own 32. 59 seconds, the time showing on the clock.
And I don't believe that the Packers have any timeouts remaining.
Bengals in front, 17-7. Miami and Baltimore having a real scoring duel in the second half, 31-28, Baltimore.
They have a slot formation to the right, double wing only one back. Dickey goes back to throw, fires over the head of everybody and out of bounds up near the 45.
Payne was the man, whom the pass was close to. Parish and Harris were both over there.
And Bow would shut them off in the front, so Dickey just threw it away. Stops the clock with 55 seconds left. Now it becomes second and 10 at the Packers' 32.
The Bengals going with a 3-4. They've got Glen Cameron in there.
So we've got the four linebackers, Burley and Bakener at the end. Eddie Edwards is the nose man right over center and Glen Cameron has become the fourth linebacker.
Jim LeClair will always line up on the strong side. He comes over this time to the left of the Packers' right.
A wide receiver on the left side and Dickey again goes straight back to throw.
Looks, Koi Bacon gets an arm around and now he throws upfield.
He's caught by Vataha and he's going to be chased down and slammed down right at the 35-yard line by Jim LeClair.
LeClair picked up Randy Vataha, spun him around, banged him down. Now he goes over and pats him on the back, but at the 35 it's a gain of three.
And the Packers now will have a third and seven.
Koi Bacon got a hold of Dickey's shoulder and spun him around a little bit, but Dickey managed to escape from that grasp and then hit Vataha to the right.
So it stops the clock with 46 seconds, the time remaining.
Dickey drifting off to his left, back to throw. Looks, fires upfield. Incomplete and almost intercepted by Riley up at midfield.
The ball went through his hands as the receiver, Ken Payne, was overthrown. And that will bring up a fourth down and the Packers have seven yards to go.
And of course they won't boot the ball. It doesn't do any good at this stage of the game. They'll go for it. They trail 17-7.
The Packers huddle up. They have the ball at their own 35. That incomplete pass stopped the clock with 41 seconds left.
Payne goes out to the left with Vataha on the slot. They have three wide receivers. Odom comes to the right.
Barty Smith is the only running back. And back to throw goes Dickey. Fires up the middle. McGeorge has it and Leclerc knocks him down.
He may have the first down out at about the 42. Mitch McGeorge came out of the backfield, caught that pass over the middle, does have the first down out at the 43.
Now the Packers with no huddle of course and the clock is down to 20 seconds remaining. Again only Barty Smith and behind Dickey.
Dickey goes back to throw. Cox's arm fires upfield incomplete at about the 45, a little short pass right over the middle to Barty Smith coming back.
And that stops the clock now with 12 seconds left. They have no further score on the San Diego-New Orleans game or the Minnesota-Detroit game, although they're well into the second half.
But the scores have not changed. Back to Baltimore-Miami game up on the board is far behind where it actually is. And still Houston 17, Pittsburgh 10.
The only thing that we have showing on that game in the third quarter. That game is almost over.
Three wide receivers, two come to the right, one to the left. Packers with the first down at their own 43 and back to throw is Dickey.
Cox's arm once now looking, fires upfield, is caught by Payne at the 40, retreats to the 45, trying to get out of bounds but won't. He'll be spun down a midfield.
The clock keeps running and that's it. The ball game is over and the Bengals have defeated the Packers by a score of 17 to 7.
