00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
November 25th, 1974, the Pittsburgh Steelers faced the New Orleans Saints at Tulane Stadium

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:19,560
in Louisiana during week 11 of the 1974 NFL season. Tulane Stadium, also known as the

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:25,280
Sugar Bowl, was home of the Saints prior to the Superdome, which opened in 1975. The

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,920
Saints entered the game with a 4-6 record, but the Steelers, led by head coach Chuck

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,160
Noll, had seven wins and were marching their way through the season towards the first of

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:39,600
the four Super Bowl wins in the next six seasons. This is the local Pittsburgh radio broadcast,

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,600
featuring legendary announcers Myron Cope and Jack Fleming.

00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:56,600

00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,800
product the beer here tonight is a daughter Jerry Bradshaw

14
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:34,160
Five-year veteran quarterback to the theater from Louisiana Tech

15
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,640
Where he was just something else?

16
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,240
And not with us ball club tonight

17
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,640
Hospitalized in Pittsburgh the Frenchman the Calipers

18
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,400
Frenchie Fuqua and

19
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,680
Justin Pearson two outstanding running backs and both of them hospitalized following surgery the Vine Providence Hospital

20
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:58,160
Hospital and we do with them a very speedy recovery very quickly running over the defensive unit tonight for

21
00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,960
New Orleans

22
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,960
some starts at left-end

23
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,080
Bob Pollard will start at left tackle

24
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Dillon Moore and right tackle and Joe Owen at right end the linebackers left to right Jim Merlo

25
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,920
Go better feel and Wayne Coleman

26
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,000
any Jackson and Vivian Lee on the corners

27
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,620
The strong safety will be Johnny fuller and the free safety Tom Myers goes back after an ankle injury

28
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,480
And out tonight Jerry Moore was injured in the avada point

29
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,080
Ray a second-year man from Arizona to their core of safety men

30
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,440
Byron cope is on hand tonight as they have the symbolic copy of the coin

31
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,640
He'll update you on late factors involved in this ballgame in New Orleans

32
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,960
Well one right factor is Pat Holmes or arrowhead old to the now for fit preferred to be called

33
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:51,080
He was laid down in the hospital with pneumonia of course a few days ago of mild touch of pneumonia and

34
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,800
Fast cannot be expected to be a top strength tonight

35
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,480
Just how much technical and then to use them remains to be seen

36
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:06,460
But arrowhead Holmes did tell me upon arriving here in New Orleans yesterday that he still had some congestion in his

37
00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:07,760
chest and

38
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,880
Felt a little weak so perhaps normal simply try to spot him tonight, but in any event

39
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040
is the backup man will be Steve Burnett and

40
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:47,800
We pride now for the national anthem

41
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,040
Oh

42
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,040
Oh

43
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,160
And so as I was explaining that

44
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,560
Sackle situation on a defense of mine is

45
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Problematical deeper net filling in for arrowhead home and tackle is probably at a position for which he is better suited than where he

46
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,800
To have to fill his defensive end he is listed of course as a backup man at both positions

47
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,120
I go on end so if the Steelers do need him it's fortunate

48
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,780
I would think that it's at the tackle position where he'll play

49
00:05:04,780 --> 00:05:09,000
I do think he's a little better suited for that than he would be for defensive end and

50
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,060
And as I said, it's just anybody's guess how much

51
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,160
Head homes will play tonight. He doesn't know have congestion and he had that viral pneumonia

52
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
And he cannot be expected to be a hundred percent

53
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,760
Jack

54
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Thanks for going to kick off left to right and don't look hard

55
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,400
It was injured in that automobile accident a 510 202 pounder from Arkansas will kick off left to right

56
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280
He Davis and no blood are deep for the Pittsburgh Steelers

57
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:38,560
Oh

58
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speed up at the 35 yard line below us to our left

59
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,800
And the kickoff will carry left to right across your radio dial and McFarlane is ready to move forward

60
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,200
Here he comes taking it off

61
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:57,040
And it is him over and down the blood of the floor of the far side of over the 10 of the 15 is the 20 to

62
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,000
25 riding through the 30 hit and brought down the other 35 yard line

63
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,960
It rather strongly on the far side of the field

64
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,480
We have Goldman and Greg boys were there to make the stop on him as he advanced the football

65
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,480
Just short of the 35 yard line and the officials are going to spot it with its nose at the 34

66
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120
at the bar high spot

67
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,600
31 yard return of the kickoff

68
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,240
or no blood

69
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,240
of the Pittsburgh Steelers

70
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,400
First down at 10 yards to go now the flight advantage of running room will be to the left and the Steelers will line up with

71
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,360
Franklin to the right to the far side

72
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400
And they will bring

73
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,360
Frank Lewis top to the left Brad Shaw is the quarterback

74
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,360
He baked those deep control has plenty of time fired down the middle

75
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:52,360
Shaken and faked it at the that the New Orleans 44 yard line and immediately is covered by Ernie Jackson

76
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,360
Knockdown

77
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,360
Finally marker goes down on the play

78
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:04,360
That's like Gary to the New Orleans 44 yard line and I started right out wanting to call him LSU

79
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Well, it was a dog gone nice play on first time to play action pass the fake to the running back

80
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,360
And a beautiful cross on the middle drilled it right on target

81
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:22,360
The penalty against New Orleans is declined and the Steelers have advanced on a Jerry Bradshaw pass

82
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:30,360
Beautiful fast play to the New Orleans 44 yard line and proud Cheney defense defense

83
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,360
All right, they shipped out of the eye formation

84
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Bradshaw handling the football gives it to Franco tries to get a couple of yards

85
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,360
How much running room in there is Billy Newsome plugged the gap

86
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Newsome is the sixth five to under 60 pounder in his fifth year from Grambling University

87
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,360
He advances the football to the New Orleans 42 yard line and going to be second down and eight yards to go

88
00:07:52,360 --> 00:08:02,360
The offensive line seems to do a good job of moving the the New Orleans front four but Franco did not make very much yardage on the play

89
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,360
Ron Shanklin has now caught 18 passes on the season

90
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:16,360
One on a touchdown during the course of the campaign second man and eight in the eye formation

91
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Bradshaw calling the signal gives the ball to Davis property I crashed it through the middle of the 40 and goes down near the 35 yard line

92
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Davis running into Joe Owens the defensive right end of the New Orleans state is from Alcorn State and he made the stop

93
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:40,360
And now we bring in a second tight end it will be third and one Randy Grossman is on replacing Ron Shanklin

94
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:48,360
New Orleans makes an adjustment Alex Price coming on to replace Joe Owens and the ball is at the far hash mark

95
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Pittsburgh in the New Orleans territory the 35 and a half yard line

96
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:00,360
We got Lois flanking right the ends are both tight Larry Brown and Randy Grossman they shift out of the eye formation

97
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:08,360
And here is Bradshaw keeping the football running to the left getting back to the right and at the 34 yard line I believe he has the first down

98
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,360
He was called rather stubbornly by Alex Price

99
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:22,360
May have been a broken play I'm not certain Bradshaw keeps to the left kept the football and then cut back and he picks up the first down the second one of the evening for the Pittsburgh Steelers

100
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:36,360
Funny thing happened on their defensive tackle Darwin Moore seems to think that Bradshaw had given the ball up Bradshaw had not he still had it and Darwin Moore penetrating the backfield ran right by Bradshaw could have knocked him down for a lot

101
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:56,360
All is midway between the sidelines straight New Orleans on defense throwing up a four man front with linebackers the linebacker pull up tight on the left and the corner back on the right and the handoff to Franco gets good block from Sam Davis running to the right and the blocking call as he just already stopped after a short game

102
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:06,360
Emily marker down on the play picked up about two yards running to the right that time Bob Pollard and Billy Newsome reacted beautifully on the play and we got a holding call against the Steelers

103
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,360
That's going to cost us 15 yards first one of the afternoon make that the first one of the night

104
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:28,360
And that's kind of a bad. Well it's a bad situation but especially so because in the kind of condition that the footballer quarterbacks have been that uncertainty who's going to play well Terry Bradshaw coming out here getting the assignment tonight

105
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:43,360
promptly moving the team well that figures to bolster his confidence but now this penalty sets them back so it may hurt Bradshaw as well as his drive. We'll have to see.

106
00:10:43,360 --> 00:11:00,360
Bradshaw 10 yarder they put the ball back at the 44 yard line whereupon the wind picks it up and blow it about a yard before one of the officials tracked him down this breeze is blowing swiftly as we view the ballgame the wind is coming against the Steelers here in the opening period

107
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:15,360
line up in the eye formation split in left and flanker set out to the right side Mary Brown is the tight end and Bradshaw gets them out of the eye Frank O'Hara to the right Steve Davis to the left taking time Jerry drops back now firing out to the left to Frank Lewis

108
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:29,360
and the ball falls it in at the New Orleans 32 and a half yard line steps out of bounds covered on the play by Vivian Lee the right cornerback for the Saints Vivian Lee 6-3 to unbuttoned from Prairie View in his fourth season in the NFL

109
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:45,360
the Bears have regained 10 yards on the play in fact 11 they move the ball down to the 33 yard line Bradshaw has now completed two out of two passes attempted and it's going to be second down at about nine yards to go at the Saints 32 and a half yard line

110
00:11:45,360 --> 00:12:01,360
they're wearing golf pants white jerseys black numals and gold helmets and the Steelers with the black jerseys and gold pants Bradshaw systems out of the eye wide set for the Steelers and Kerry drops back deep east Jay South fires the screen back to the right side

111
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Franco running with the football over the 35 breaks the tackle goes to the 30 caught and brought down at the 29 yard line by Ernie Jackson screen far the screen did not appear to be effective but the running of Frank O'Hara was effective as he managed to pick up yardage on what appeared to be an almost lost play gets four yards on it it will be third down now and five yards to go

112
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:37,360
you know funny thing a lot of people are that the Steelers don't throw enough to their backs but I totaled up the figures there the other day and found out that 38 percent of their completions have been to their running backs so who knows

113
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:58,360
Bradshaw is three for three for 37 yards here the early stages of the ballgame Steelers in state territory at the 29 yard line Bradshaw the long jump drops back again, knocks his arm now led to the football at 35 to 35 to 25 to 20 and heads out of bounds at the 18 yard line

114
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:13,360
Jerry Bradshaw resourceful as always cornered on the far side of the field Ernie Jackson was over there and they chased him out of bounds he stepped out at the 17 and a half yard line it will be a first down as 10 yards to go

115
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Bradshaw had great pass protection all day to throw that time but he would have been foolish had he not run with the football because the entire far side of the field was devoid of things there was nobody over there and he had a lot of running room

116
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:43,360
once again Jones comes off the field Alex Price goes on from New Orleans in their defensive alignment he's been shankling out to the right bring Frank Lewis to the left line up in the eye should see Davis off to the right side of the eye formation

117
00:13:43,360 --> 00:14:08,360
rolling back to get up front here's a handoff to Frank all those right back to the left heads over the middle is inside the 15 and goes down almost to the 12 yard line another beautiful job of running by Frank O'Hara says he had his flight leader the right made a short cut back down the hole and Jim Merlo finally found Frank on running down Merlo a second year man from Sanford and the football is very close to the 12 yard line

118
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:25,360
and it's going to be second down and five yards to go and Frank you're still rolling over 500 yards in his last five games the other dealers coming out of a huddle layman field goes over the football Gary Bradshaw steps under center that's all back up look firing

119
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:41,360
toward the end zone Frank Lewis leading five to go line up to get him down out of the house he got the football and he had the cornerback really right on him he was right on him defensively but he came down out of bounds and it is an incomplete pass

120
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:59,360
Jim Merlo with the right on Jerry Bradshaw on the play and Bradshaw had to get rid of it rather quickly Lewis made a great catch but he got out of bounds incomplete and that's the first pass with this tonight and my information was that the dealers can work on cornerback Vivian Lee and they've thrown

121
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:14,360
quite in his direction but Frank Lewis so perhaps that's what they're trying to do all right it's another living ballgame about four and a half minutes come off the clock on the first quarter in New Orleans wide set for the theater running backs and Bradshaw

122
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:35,360
knows a little bit about the game and he's back in the game coming to the field and earning Jackson finally knocked down at the 12 yard line Larry Brown made the tackle the safety blitz from Bradshaw that the hurried throw got rid of the football

123
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:52,360
intercepted right at the one yard line by Ernie Jackson and Jackson brings it all the way back out running rather quickly along the ten and finally brought down at the 12 yard line and as far as Jackson is concerned

124
00:15:52,360 --> 00:16:08,360
on their stat list we'll catch up with you in just a moment on that but it was a beautiful run at least laterally until he was finally knocked down at the 12 yard line.

125
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:28,360
No Parker's putting the left and they line up with the second of the single running back giving them now they've been the man in motion the guy with his back to the wing back and I just feel like running with a ball to the left and he's going to get no ground running to the far side no blood came in and falls in on him hitting him at the line of damage and he may have fallen forward for at least three yards.

126
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:51,360
If the Steelers are expecting some sort of fancy stuff from the Saints tonight at that time they were ready for it. On the interception I don't think he can fault Bradshaw he had to get rid of that ball before he wanted to because nobody picked up the blitz. No Parker picked up the blitz and he had to release the ball and he didn't get it over that man's head at the one yard line.

127
00:16:51,360 --> 00:17:11,360
Third interception for Jackson and Tom Myers is the guy who had the great rush on Bradshaw off of the safety blitz. Second man and nine yards to go Archie Manning is the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints and Manning is back to throw. Manning is going to be stacked inside the 10 yard line.

128
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:29,360
Joe Green and Steve Fernes are there and Meme Joe. When did he get to win first? He did white and white and Fernes and white and white got to win first and he'll get set up for the sack and the Steelers have racked up another sack.

129
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:47,360
They may split it up to half and half Jack I think you've almost passed through there but it was a good rush on Archie Manning. And Steve Fernes of course starting because Bradsholmes not up to par had that bot with pneumonia last week and also had a bruised thigh.

130
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:59,360
Well if White gets full credit that would be his seventh sack of the season. The ball is up to 10 third down 12 and a half yards to go and Manning drops back in. Look out here they come he runs straight ahead out of the pocket and he's sealed.

131
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:15,360
And for the last Joe Green got him this time. Fantastic rush by Dwight White and also by Elsie Greenwood. He had a tear they might get in with him the 10 yard line. He stepped forward he's got up the eighth and the sack was finally recorded by Joe Green.

132
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:29,360
Yes Elsie Greenwood very near he's got nailed him back around the two yard line but Archie avoided him but Joe caught him. Already two backs for the Steelers 42 for the season they lead the lead.

133
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:49,360
Tom Blanchard the bit of funny standing in the st. James zone when Edwards and Lynn Swan are deep for the fifth third Steelers. Here's the step Blanchard gets it away floating coming down to 49 yard line Swan straight over the 45 to 40. He has hit on a gigantic tackle at the 43 yard line.

134
00:18:49,360 --> 00:19:03,360
The 43 yard line flipped like a 10-10 into the air. Lauren is brought down to tackle by John Coleman. The ball will be placed at the 36 yard line. We have a break in the action we'll be right back.

135
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:26,360
Hi Eddie and I'm wearing my very own official NFL Steelers sports shirt. Well of course you can't see it because this is radio. But what you're not seeing here is a really clean white sports shirt with the Steelers emblem embroidered. This thing fits right here Lauren Poyne. My dad got it for me free from Pittsburgh National Bank.

136
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:45,360
That's right Eddie and friends you can get your free Steelers sports shirt by opening a regular passbook account with $500 or more at Pittsburgh National or by adding $500 to your present account. You earn the highest savings deposit rate the banking law allows.

137
00:19:45,360 --> 00:20:03,360
Now these shirts are available in a full range of adults and children sizes but you better hurry because our supply is limited. My dad says he's glad his money is working for him at Pittsburgh National but I'm just glad he got me this shirt.

138
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:25,360
Remembered at the IC. A 41 yard punt by Tom Blanchard an 11 yard return and so far from what we've seen I don't think the New Orleans Kickers were hurt too badly in that automobile accident because on the kickoff McClark looted a time for the Steelers three yard line and rather high too.

139
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:34,360
And now Blanchard is 141 yards so I guess those boys were not destroyed by that automobile accident yesterday morning.

140
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:55,360
The other is ready to go at the same 36 yard line. First down 10 running back to Franco Harrison Steve Davis and here's a handoff to have guys to get to the outside and pick up a couple of yards on the play going to some of them immediately.

141
00:20:55,360 --> 00:21:14,360
The other is right down at the 34 get him about two yards it will be second down and a let me run over that defense for you again. Newsom Pollard more on the front with Merlo better feel and Coleman is the linebacker Jackson and Vivian Lee on the corner and Johnny Fuller and Tom Myers of the safety.

142
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:26,360
The Steelers Frank Lewis to the left flanking right is Ron Shanklin they should see Davis to the right off the top of the eyes.

143
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:45,360
The 33 yard line struggles to the 32 and the tackle made by Don Coleman.

144
00:21:45,360 --> 00:22:00,360
The former defensive end of looking for Michigan and the way Coleman gets that tackle.

145
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:15,360
The lineup lay down as a tight end Shanklin why did the writers the flanker split off to Frank Lewis and he shipped out of the eye to set back to why Bradshaw Jake Bradshaw is the Bradshaw.

146
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:19,760
The

147
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:41,360
running the battered down and then on the run at the 11 yard line running to the far side of the field over the fire goes into the end zone and the faster goes from Jerry Bradshaw to Frank Lewis it covers 31 yard downfield and for Louis it is his funny to get off the season.

148
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:54,360
And his fourth touchdown and he got that ball right in front of Tommy Myers that no regarded safety man let Myers fall on his face and pull it to the end zone.

149
00:22:54,360 --> 00:23:13,360
Right here is your LL at the point after try it is up into the wind it is good.

150
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:30,360
The Pittsburgh National Bank just deposited $500 in a regular passbook account. You earn the highest savings deposit rate the banking law allows the shirts are available in a full range of adult and children sizes and will label your shirt right here home.

152
00:23:47,360 --> 00:24:06,360
The football player. Get your official NFL sealers for church from Pittsburgh National after all everyone plays a better game with money in the bank.

153
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:20,360
The IC ready to receive with a small plan in the NFL and Howard Stevens by five and under 65 second year man from Louisville along with Maurice Spencer six footer from North Carolina central.

154
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:38,360
Bradshaw is more for six thousand with one interception and so the 68 yards and one touchdown and running. He's very bright for 14 yards. So we have got even and Spencer D and you're kicking off the first very high coming down to the 30.

155
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:50,360
The 30 driving ballers are students with a football and a little player coming up short of the 35 yard line and the tackle for the dealers made by Lauren J.

156
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:54,360
And the one is back in business at a zone 33.

157
00:24:54,360 --> 00:25:12,360
I realize that guy's no taller than I am. I wonder what happened if Lauren's hate hit me. What would happen if you ran into that young man with a hard Steven.

158
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:25,360
The game is out of the heart of the manning for your veterans of all this is the quarterback and the one with two men to the right. They've got a wingback set to the right side and now he's in motion.

159
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:30,360
They took a quick pass out to Joe Parker man in motion moving out to a wide position.

160
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:44,360
The 30 five and up to the 40 yard line.

161
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:49,360
Archie Manning trying his first pass and completing it.

162
00:25:49,360 --> 00:26:00,360
He's a judge second down to Lauren James as we play Jack Sam and linebacker or the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now let's see what they're going to do.

163
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:07,360
Joe Parker goes wide in the left. They bring Bob Newell and out to the right. They're using two regular setbacks.

164
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:22,360
They're going to fire man for basically running on the long jump. He's a deep handoff back here to get to the next and the rookie permission you and he's running to the left along the 37 yard line.

165
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:40,360
Andy Russell made the stop right right. A great play by Dwight White. There's a leap in there through the air. Tremendous quickness. Did not make the tackle but knocked the guy off balance for Andy Russell to make the stop.

166
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:53,360
That's a big play when they are second man about one second and two. Now they come up and look at a third and six. They deploy Bob Newell into the left. Bring Joe Parker to the right.

167
00:26:53,360 --> 00:27:04,360
Running back to Maxson and Phillips. Archie Manning takes. He's back to go. And here it is to the near side and it is incomplete. Somebody got a hand on it I believe and send it.

168
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:14,360
On the near side of the field Alvin Maxson. Dwight White again with a great rush. He's a four year man from East Texas State doing a fine job and tore down for New Orleans.

169
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:26,360
Dwight White has not been having as big a year as he has had in the past. And he has of course been bothered by a bad foot this year. A very painful bruised heel.

170
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:35,360
But perhaps he's come around and is determined to show them what Dwight White is like. What he used to be like and can be again.

171
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:42,360
Joe Green had a hand on that ball deflecting that pass. Tom Blanchard in front for many things. He's the 41 yarder the last time. Swan and Edwards down field.

172
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:56,360
Wobbly coming into Lynn Swan at the 24. He's out over the 30 going to the sideline at the 35. Pippen goes down and covered at the 36 yard line. Lost his footing. Making a cut on the artificial turf across the way.

173
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:03,360
Lynn Swan was immediately covered by Maurice Spencer. And Steelers football continues after this free timeout.

174
00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:18,360
The Pippen State game Thursday night is called out. But there are plenty of 50 yard line seats at Buddies in Market Square. The only place on time for a 50 yard line seat to watch the Pippen State game on Buddies' Advent Video Beams right by television from Opus One.

175
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:28,360
And after the game joining the fun with the good time cohort Coach Joe Avizzano. Remember two weekdays Buddies is a pleasant place to lunch and enjoy our iBasin.

176
00:28:28,360 --> 00:28:38,360
Buddies the only place to be after every game. Or for lunch. Buddies in Market Square.

177
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Jack Fleming with Marin Koefe at the Lane Stadium in New Orleans. We'll be back after this pause on the Steelers football network.

178
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:58,360
Mike Bajan here hoping you'll be listening to ETV as I put new requests for now and then.

179
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:15,360
In these 10 minutes that have elapsed in this ballgame the Saints have had the ball quite. They have not been able to record a first time. The Steelers defense has been superb and of course the Steelers lead 7-0 thanks to a 31 yard touchdown pass.

180
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:29,360
Bradshaw hitting Frank Lewis at the 12 yard line approximately the 12 I do believe. And Lewis doling to the corner of the end zone and making it. So the Steelers so far have dominated this ballgame thoroughly.

181
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:45,360
Bradshaw playing in his native state Louisiana is looking very crisp. Blowing the ball beautifully. 2-1 interception but that's because he had a hurry to pass under a blitz. Okay here goes Bradshaw again.

182
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:59,360
And it's tight. Appalachian shifting. Steve Davis to the right off the eye. Blanker set to the right side. Here's the handoff to Franco Harris. Tries it off the right side. He'll get about 2 yards.

183
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:17,360
And the 38 yard line Jim Merlo. 225 pound left side linebacker from Stanford makes the stop. And Franco sticks up 2 yards and it will be 2nd down and 8 yards to go. For the Pittsburgh Steelers they lead 7-0 in the ballgame. And we have 445 remaining to play in the opening period.

184
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:30,360
And we have you with us tonight as we bring you the play-by-play coverage from Tulane Stadium in New Orleans over 70,000 on hand. Running backs that set wide ends are tight. Blanker right for the Steelers.

185
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:42,360
Now they shift and bring Franco Harris directly in behind the quarterback taking a lot of time. Oh wow Bradshaw right side to the 40. And his miss on the tackle goes out of bounds at the 41 yard line.

186
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:57,360
Nice job. Ernie Jackson and Jim Merlo pursuing step away from Jackson. Merlo cornered him and sent him out of bounds. Gordon Gravel blocking that time. The third year man from Brigham Young. And the ball is at the 41 yard line where it is going to be 2nd and 5th.

187
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:11,360
It's solid blocked by Gordon Gravel and I thought Bradshaw would make even more yards. What was Gravel doing such a nice job on the far side but it's 3rd and 5 yards to go.

188
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:24,360
This time we got Shantlin right to the right putting Frank Lewis to the left. Bradshaw will pass. Swing pass left side off the finger jib to Steve Davis. It is incomplete coming up and crying for an interception.

189
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Was linebacker Wayne Spalman of the Saints. He cannot hold it either. Pass ball is incomplete and Bobby Walden will come on for the first time tonight. He'll be kicking into a 3-5th free.

190
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:50,360
It was a good play Bradshaw and a quick catch going out to Steve Davis who just couldn't hold the football.

191
00:31:50,360 --> 00:32:06,360
Steven Spencer and Barrett Ophilus are deep. And here is Walden running the football. Getting into the rim coming down short. Bouncing kickoff at the 21 yard line and Spencer gets ground back behind the 20 coming to the right side of Steven.

192
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:20,360
And he's right down at the 19 yard line. You can see the ball. A scene of tight and then hit the rim and then come down and very tough to handle. Reggie Garrett made the stop as they gave ground after the reception.

193
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:32,360
And the ball is crowded finally at the 21 yard line. A 39 yard front for Bobby Walden. Reggie Garrett incidentally is playing against his brother tonight. Not head to head against him. They're both receivers.

194
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Reggie Garrett is a tight end for the New Orleans Saints. He's Reggie's older brother.

195
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:48,360
All right this time we're going to send Bob Newell and after that putting a man in the slot. Paul Ophilus. Not going to make that. Jeff Phillips bringing him in close now.

196
00:32:48,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Now they bring him in motion and the give is to the one step back and Alvin Maxson drives forward over the 20 back to the 21. You may pick up a yard after the 22 yard line. Sort of submarineing under the pile up of black jersey.

197
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:21,360
And the line that's in there. Interact with the virus all week long. It's actually viral pneumonia and that's just not up to par yet but I suspect we might see some of them tonight.

198
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:37,360
And they charge to go. Wide men in either direction. Two step backs and a big draw. Now Manning throwing and the pass is incomplete at the 21 yard line. And send it for Bob Newell and Ophilus Fingertip. J.T. Thomas covered the play for the Steelers.

199
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:53,360
And that was incomplete. Archie Manning throwing the football for the New Orleans Saints is one for three on the night so far.

200
00:33:53,360 --> 00:34:08,360
Backed up by Larry Sippa. We saw Sippa quarterback. Quarterback in the club in the preseason game. A rookie. Bobby Scott is another of their backup quarterbacks.

201
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:23,360
And as Myron talked about it earlier Manning has been involved in trouble down here. They thought he might try to jump to the world football. Here's Manning throwing all your most intercepted by no one. Sending the pass for Joe Parker. Too high for 35 yard lines.

202
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:43,360
He went up in the air for the football. Now we're getting a penalty marker down on the play. Potential holding against the Steelers. That will cost them five yards for the first down. New Orleans will get its initial first down of the ball game and the Steelers will be it with their second penalty.

203
00:34:43,360 --> 00:35:07,360
Total of 15 yards. Lose the football forward to 27 for a contest. Full of the good thing. Mel Brunson intercepts that pass because it would have been raised. They make Mel Brunson feel better. But he has a good track and an intercept.

204
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:26,360
Howard Stevens is in replacing Jeff Phillips. And they set Stevens up in the slot close on the left side. Now they bring him in motion. Pitchback to him. The speedy little guy went into the right side. This hard as a 25 and slammed to the artificial curve.

205
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:41,360
Jackal was spayed by Jack Lambert. The runner was pretty well cornered by a fine defensive effort by the Steelers. L.C. Greenwood had cut him off at the pass about a two and a half yard loss on the play.

206
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:56,360
Second down and 12 and a half yards to go. That is the same fellow running with the football. And we show you 5'5", 165 pounds. No bigger than Lyron. What's your weight? 538. He's got a little weight on you anyway.

207
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:15,360
They put him in a close slot on the left side. Manning is back to go. Firing to Stevens and saw off his fingertips. He went up to 29 with one hand. Could not pull it in. Andy Russell gave up the cover. All of a sudden Stevens becomes a vital weapon in their offense.

208
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:39,360
Stevens rushing six times for eight yards. Six times for minus eight yards. Your defense is just too far tonight. And as that play that Stevens went in motion on and took the ball, actually they were running out of a double wing that time, which they will frequently show.

209
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:54,360
The Orange Jays are placed to see for this, giving us four linebackers. Lambert's running a little, now dropping back. And the handoff is given to Alvin Maxson. He finds running room straight up to the 35 and on up to the 40 yard line.

210
00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:12,360
And now by Glenn Edwards to three safety. Going to spot the football about a half yard short of the 40 to 39 and a half yard line. 14 yard game for the New Orleans Saints. Alvin Maxson, looking for this and he'll carry the ball. Second first down tonight for New Orleans.

211
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:29,360
And now for Nessus back in replacing Lawrence Jays. They're having trouble keeping the football located. The wind is blowing it around. I think we're ready to go now. Kevin Melving in favor of the Steelers.

212
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:44,360
And now for the formation. Manning gives to the top of the eye. This is Jess Phillips, bowing ahead for about three yards. He'll be to the 42 yard line. The end cover to football. Center of the Steelers defense.

213
00:37:44,360 --> 00:38:03,360
Hanger, Budweiser, White, Mike Wagner making the stop. And the ball is at the 42 and a half yard line. Second down and about seven yards to go. They pick up three yards. Phillips goes to seven yard better run from Michigan State. It's one to under 10 pounder.

214
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:18,360
The New Orleans Saints break out of the huddle. Thompson, Cupp, Gideon, Gracely and Morrison are the interior linemen. Paul Steele is their tight end, a rookie from Michigan. And here it is. Look out, they may pass the football.

215
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:40,360
Parker on the end of the line, he can find no one to throw to and he is caught and pulled. Back at the 36 yard line, Jack Lambert and Joe Green make the stop. So a deep handoff coming left to right. And his arm cocked, Parker wanted to get rid of the football. The rookie from Florida was trapped and brought down. And the loss takes the ball back to the 37 yard line.

216
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:56,360
Well, he's got a quarterback back, but at the back I guess. I don't know, he could put his fist back on that, Jack. Well, but he's throwing as much as he did handoff. He had an option of either running or passing, so it developed into, I guess, a running play. He was looking.

217
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:14,360
Thompson just throws. I don't know. Ball is back at the 37, third down and 13. Now this time Archie Manning takes the draw, he's deep to throw and fires down the near. Look out, too high at the 33 yard line for Bob Newman.

218
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:29,360
Little and wide open, they're getting the receivers open and Manning having difficulty hitting his target. Archie, one foot by passing for a total of eight yards tonight.

219
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:47,360
If we warm up tonight to Gary Gerson's statistics, we'll be able to keep you even better abreast of the ball game. So Jim, I've only seen him twice this year because it gives me a little bit of time to take some little bit of time to interpret them.

220
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:59,360
Manning, and that's an odd looking thing. Manning low trajectory, hits the wind, now picks up at the 25. There's one spot over the 30, the 35, and finally Russell's over the ground at the 37 yard line.

221
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:17,360
The ball was doing some tricks on putt. That one came up on a low trajectory. You could visibly see it drop as the wind seemed to get a hold of it. It came down, Swan picked it up, made the return, a 12 yard return on the 38 yard putt, the ball is at the 37 and a half yard. Maybe that's happened.

222
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:31,360
Whatever it is that's happening, I hope it continues. Andrew Dice Steeler is in the second quarter moving left to right. Shacklin Plank for the news, out of the right of Brad Shaw, picks it up, Steve Davis, and he is hit at the 42 yard line.

223
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:50,360
He's hit a zero and hit on by Jimmy Newsome. What a wick. Newsome, five year veteran from Grandway, 6'5, 260 pounds, and he hit him like you might hit the cock ring dummy in practice. Good solid lick that will be third down now and six yards to go for the Steelers.

224
00:40:50,360 --> 00:41:07,360
And I wonder if this time Terry Bradshaw won't try to work on Vivian Lee again, cornerback Vivian Lee. We have Cole Davis, Mansfield, Plack, and Gravel in the interior line, getting out of the high formation.

225
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:25,360
Here's Bradshaw back to the throw, firing, and it is picked off, intercepted inside the 45 yard line, and immediately John Myers who made the interception goes in. He's trying to hit Franco Harris, who's in behind him.

226
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:41,360
Gary Mullins made the draft, and Myers came up with the interception. Now on the season, it's one Myers. That is his third interception, boosting the Saints trouble for the season to 15.

227
00:41:41,360 --> 00:42:03,360
Here is the second interception of the night, Bradshaw. Saints in good field position at the Pittsburgh 44. All right, seven nothing ball game. Wing back step to the left side, Jeff Phillips, single running back, and he gives him the bottom, and he has running room up the middle of the 40 and down to the 35 and on to the 34 yard line.

228
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:16,360
Jack Ham makes the tackle. Alvin Jackson, single running back, get back there, he may have a first down. They're going to call time to measure at the Pittsburgh 34 yard line.

229
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:24,360
Ten yards to game on that play equaled almost the entire output of the Saints offense, 11 yards in the opening period.

230
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:37,360
They go over the left side of the field line that time, and the Saints well coming off that electrifying interception, and that's what it was, was Myers holding up to make it for the Saints to rely.

231
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:49,360
I get a feeling that the Saints bread and butter offense without the razzle dazzle was much more effective than their wide stuff and their end arounds and their run and pass options and that sort of thing.

232
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:59,360
That may very well be the case, Jack. All right, now they will spread our defense with this type of thing. Joe Parker goes to the right, they bring Paul Hyland to the left.

233
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:10,360
They've got two running backs set up, Archie Manning is the quarterback. It is a short yardage play, and he gives that ball off to Jeff Phillips running to the left, and he stepped out of the 30 by Mike Wagner.

234
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:23,360
Paul's at the 29 yard line and they have a first down. So they came outside that time and Mike Wagner making the stop. The Saints pick up their third first down.

235
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:35,360
And we're right at the top of this stadium in some sort of a metal and wood radio facility that just shimmers and shakes with its crowd. It's the weirdest feeling I've ever had.

236
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:40,360
It's a very noisy stadium too, especially when they start stamping out there.

237
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,360
You sit here, it's like sitting on top of a vibrator. It just vibrates the whole game.

238
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:54,360
All right, they've got a double wing situation, a man split to the right, a single running back. Now they bring a wing back in motion and they pick the ball back in the cap. They're in trouble.

239
00:43:54,360 --> 00:44:04,360
Like I told you, Jeff Phillips goes down. And there it is, getting away from the bread and butter stuff, and they have lost back to the 35 yard liners, White, White, and Andy Russell.

240
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:18,360
The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be perfectly geared to meet anything that they do from that wide stop. And that time they brought that wing back in motion and it'll have picked it back to him and there were Steelers all over him as they faced second down and 16.

241
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:31,360
I asked Chuck Snow before the game if he would have to put in special defenses for this razzle-bazzle offensive material and he said no. We don't do anything different. We just do it right and we'll stop it.

242
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:46,360
The ball is at the 35 now to second down and 16. All right, this time Bob Mullen goes wide to the right and they put a man in the spot ball field out there. And now Manning rolling right. Look out, he's keeping to the 35, to the far side, the 30 and goes out of bounds.

243
00:44:46,360 --> 00:45:06,360
At the 29 yard line, chased out over there by Jack Hamm. Archie Manning running with the football, brings it back down to the Pittsburgh 29 yard line. And it's going to be third down and 10 yards to go for New Orleans in Pittsburgh territory and the Steelers lead at 7 to nothing.

244
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:16,360
So 11 minutes and 51 seconds remaining in the second period.

245
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:45,360
And the Steelers defense getting set. Joe Green talking momentarily with Dwight White and now they are away from Sinks coming back to the line of scrimmage and here is New Orleans. Wide man to the left is Bob Mullen, man in the slot on the left side with a single running back and now they switch marker out further to the right. Very wide in both directions. Archie Manning on the long count, drops straight back to rushes on now. He runs out of the block up there after him. Here's Green making a diving stab at him with the 25, a flag down downfield.

246
00:45:45,360 --> 00:46:00,360
Joe Green gets in and falls at the 24 yard line. But downfield on the far side of the field at the 17 yard line, a penalty marker is down. So something has been detected and possibly against the Steelers.

247
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,360
And it is the Fidget Holdings against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

248
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:11,360
That will cost us 5 yards and the first down.

249
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:18,360
New Orleans gets its fourth first down of the evening and two of them have been on defensive holding calls.

250
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:40,360
And Archie Manning is learning something about the speed of the Steelers front four repeatedly when Archie has had to scramble those big Steelers have been able to run him down as Dwight White did that time. But Dwight's race went for naught because the holding penalty gives him the first down at the 19.

251
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:50,360
All right, the Saints lining up in the eye. Alvin Maxson, the inside back just filled up to the top of the eyes. Flotler formation Archie Manning giving it off to Phillips and he is nailed.

252
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,360
Beautifully. Fine defensive play by Andy Russell.

253
00:46:54,360 --> 00:47:07,360
At the 22 yard line. Let's see what they've got the football. Last of about 3 yards. It's going to be second down and 13 yards to go for the New Orleans Saints at the Pittsburgh 22 yard line.

254
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:14,360
And that holding call we understand was against Jack Ham, the other linebacker Jack Ham.

255
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:21,360
So the things now facing second down and 12 yards to go at the 22 with the Steelers.

256
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:37,360
Phillips now has five carries. He's not a zero yarder. Blank right split in left and Manning drops back. Now Manning runs to the right. Manning Manning still looking. They're actually tires almost intercepted what's the ruling right on the side.

257
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,360
We're in a driving catch.

258
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:50,360
Now let's see what the ruling is going to be. Jack Ham made the diving catch on the far side of the field at Pittsburgh's ball.

259
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:57,360
Jack Ham made a diving catch. Alvin Maxson was the incentive to steal it.

260
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,360
And the Steelers take over.

261
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:07,360
For Ham is fourth interception of the season. The Steelers interception total is up to 21.

262
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:24,360
They have a break in the actual ladies and gentlemen. We'll be right back.

263
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:43,360
What makes the crisis in the Steelers number one? Take it from me Mary Green. It's because they've got America's best selling small car lines from Italian sexes and scams. Why these cars so popular? Well maybe it's because you can get so many people in them. Or get so much in the front. Or get so many miles to a gallon.

264
00:48:43,360 --> 00:49:03,360
Whatever the reason, when you see our new little Plymouth, who we know the reaction wrestling to get.

265
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:14,360
Pick up your Steeler Booster Kit containing bumper stickers, Steeler schedule and Steeler media guides from your Steeler and Plymouth Plymouth Steeler.

266
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:36,360
So Jack Ham is given the interception. There was some question as to whether he was in bounds when he made it. And there was considerable indecisiveness I thought on the part of the officials. I didn't see anybody make a prompt ruling on the play. But ultimately they did give the ball to the Steelers and they'll now start at their own 22 yard line.

267
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:48,360
There was a diving interception by Ham. He left his feet on the far side of the field and I just wouldn't want to hazard a guess as to whether that was a good call or not.

268
00:49:48,360 --> 00:50:07,360
If it was a good call, so it's a good call. But the crowd doesn't think so.

269
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:24,360
The stadium goes ahead and takes the handoff. The left side of the 25, the 30, the 35, the 40, the 45, the 50 cut from behind and brought down at the same 46 yard line. Jerry Bradshaw went against the crowd and finally was brought down by Vivian Lee, the cornerback to the far side of the field.

270
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:38,360
And that time, Pittsburgh advanced the football from a dawn 22 to the New York, New Orleans 46 yard line and that's again a 32 yard rushing yardage going to Bradshaw, Pittsburgh's fifth first down to the right.

271
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:52,360
And it's great to see that he's running that play Bradshaw. He had a really cool signal at the top of his voice to make himself heard over the billy. He faced beautifully to Franco and took off with the football and made big yardage.

272
00:50:52,360 --> 00:51:08,360
Bradshaw for Jerry, 49 yards is back deep to pass there after him. They've got him. He breaks through to it. They've got him in for two. Billy Newsom had him and Jerry appeared to be ready to break through and Newsom put the grab on him even as Jalen Moore closed in.

273
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:24,360
So that is a stack for New Orleans and it takes the football back to the Pittsburgh. 22 and a half yard line. Jerry is very deep as he set up the pass and the loss 10, 11, 12 yards for the Steelers.

274
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:29,360
And the New Orleans Saints come up with a stack tonight.

275
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:45,360
So there's been one against both sides. And the Steelers averaging only one pack for ballgame that is their offensive line. So maybe New Orleans is heading their allotment for the night. Let's hope so. New Orleans with a fourth linebacker in there, Rich Middleton.

276
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,360
Got a three man right.

277
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,360
And here's the ball Jerry downfield. Franco Harris.

278
00:51:51,360 --> 00:52:03,360
And he is over the 15 down to the 45 yard line. Tom Myers made the stop. And that time as they set up to defend against the pass, they went to Franco Harris.

279
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:13,360
And the great running back from Penn State brings it back to the New Orleans 45 yard line. It's going to be third and 10. Good call. They shot Franco right up the middle, fooled the Saints.

280
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:26,360
And Franco made up the artichoke that Brad Shaw lost when he was back on first time. 13 yard gain as they switch personnel to take a linebacker out and throw a defensive lineman back in. They're in a four man front once again.

281
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:36,360
Third and 10. Pittsburgh at the New Orleans 45. New Orleans almost offside. Got back. Now Brad Shaw's back to throw the rushers on. Green pass left side to Franco. He's tapped.

282
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:45,360
And now he gets a block from over the 50 and out of bounds at the New Orleans 49 yard line. Lost the four yards on the play. Jim Merlowe made the stop.

283
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:56,360
Jerry Mullins is out there trying to protect him. But it was a hopeless job. Saved him about five yards as he got back to the 49 yard line.

284
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:01,360
And it is going to be fourth down now and 14 yards to go.

285
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:09,360
Jerry Bradshaw now five for nine. Two interceptions. One touchdown pass.

286
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:14,360
Bobby Walden in confirmation.

287
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:29,360
New Orleans set up deep powered. Stevens is the deep man and Walden kicked it with a win. Very high. Stevens backs up. Takes it out the six. Gives ground behind the five. He hits. Struggles forward. He's back up to the six or seven yard line.

288
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:41,360
The little guy. Gave ground behind the five and finally got back to the six or seven yard line. Reggie Garrett and Bradley were down there to bring him down. We have a break in the action and we'll be right back.

289
00:53:41,360 --> 00:54:00,360
That's your price of Plymouth dealers. Telling you we've got America's number one selling small car. The reasons are Valiant, Justice and Scam.

290
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:13,360
But we don't stop there. We've got the new small Fury. Fury sports. Brand new styling and the smallest Fury package. And Cordoba, our new small Chrysler. And that's right, small Chrysler.

291
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:34,360
And our full size Chrysler has some great new looks too. So come on in. See your Chrysler for the dealers.

292
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:45,360
Pick up your Steeler Booster kit containing bumper stickers, Steeler schedule and Steeler media guide from your Steeler and Chrysler Plymouth dealers.

293
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:58,360
Beautiful punt by Bobby Walden. 44 yards and very high so that the coverage was down there. And Howie Stevens only 5 feet 5. Builded by about five tacklers. He made a one yard return.

294
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:07,360
The Saints in the hole at their six yard line. The Steeler defense famous for scoring points has helped. Has an opportunity now.

295
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:32,360
To Orleans right to left at the same six yard line. Archie Manning is the quarterback. He running back and he gives the ball to Alvin Maxson and Maxson flugs straight ahead. He'll pick up a couple of yards, bring it to the nine yard line.

296
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:47,360
And there goes 6'4", 2'55". Third year man from Rhode Island. Playing in place of Ernie Holmes. Second down, eight yards to go.

297
00:55:47,360 --> 00:56:03,360
He's going to play to the right split end to the left. And the give is again to Maxson. Very little running room. A lot down at the ten yard line. And they uncovered the ball and down at the bottom of it, Furness, Bill Green.

298
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:20,360
Well, Bill Green would have had a shoulder over in the play. The ball will be spotted at the 11. It's going to be third and five. Steve Furness playing opposite Jake Cupp. Offensive guard Jake Cupp, an 11 year man. A former teammate at Washington of Ray Mansfield. Furness is holding it down.

299
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:35,360
Here's a pitch off to the right side. Jess Phillips running with a football. Furness is going up the ten. Dives forward over the 15. And have a first down I believe. Very close to it. As he was tracked down running to the far side of the field by Jack M.

300
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:49,360
That's that line back of the Steelers. Let's see what they do with the football. They have called time. And it's going to require a measurement of the six to brought in the short distance at the far side of the field.

301
00:56:49,360 --> 00:57:00,360
Tearing intently at the football over there. What is the decision? It is short by an inch. We're going to pause now for station identification.

302
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:06,360
I'm Tom Lyons and I'm right here every night at midnight to keep you company all night long.

303
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:28,360
New Orleans is ready to go into fun formation and the Saints are going to be kicking against some kind of a win. Tom Blanchard will be their punter. And we go deep with Lynn Edwards and Lynn Fawn.

304
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:41,360
Blanchard standing at his own three yard line. Awaiting the snap of the football. Big strong wind against him. He takes his time. Gets an extra step. Gets a low trajectory. Good kick.

305
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:49,360
All the way down to the 35. Fawn takes it. First ball goes down. Gets up. And the players look to get.

306
00:57:49,360 --> 00:58:04,360
Fawn went down. Apparently one straight diving in there. And Maurice Hunter. One gets credit for the tackle.

307
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:21,360
Now let's see. They come up especially with John Coleman. 50 yard punt against the wind. And now a clumping penalty. They march off against the Steelers. A 15 yarder from the 34 yard line back to the 19.

308
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:37,360
They're running into some kind of misfortune with penalties tonight. 35 yards total. And it reminds me of the fiasco I watched at Blackbird, Virginia Saturday afternoon after West Virginia taking a 22-21 lead with about a minute and a half or less to go.

309
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:51,360
And officials at that time hit the mountaineers with three 15 yarders, Myron. I'll have to tell you more about that later. Some kind of an afternoon at the 19 yard line. Bradshaw handing off. And the Steelers plowing straight ahead.

310
00:58:51,360 --> 00:59:03,360
Franco has the ball carrier to the 24 yard line. Billy meets them at the bottom of the play for the New Orleans Saints. And Franco will pick up a solid five yard second down and five to go.

311
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:13,360
Well these Saints really got out of that bad hole with that punt. 50 yarder by Blanchard and then the penalty of 15 yards. So they got out of a lot of trouble there.

312
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:21,360
Indication there that if you keep the ball low against this wind down in the depths of this big stadium, you may not get into as much trouble as if you kick it high.

313
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:37,360
Here's Bradshaw stopping short. Firing with the men's off the book ball. Larry Brown at the 44 yard line. Wide open down the middle. And he leaps into the air and kicks to his feet in this shot. Warrior veterans from Kansas had gone wide open straight down the middle.

314
00:59:37,360 --> 01:00:01,360
The pass appeared to be on the money and he couldn't hold it. And it falls incomplete. Well Larry is just beside himself with this catch because not only was the ball right there, not only was he wide open, but he had ample running room out ahead of him. The play I'm sure would have gone for at least 30 yards, maybe a lot more.

315
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:19,360
Bradshaw has just 5 out of 10 passes. Two interceptions, 64 yards to one touchdown. That's far. Here is Jerry Bugsy. Jerry throws and it is broken up. Larry Brown at the 35 had it there and hooking an arm run and W. Lee.

316
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:39,360
There was no indication from the official of dropping a flight with half interference, but I believe that Larry Bell felt he had been interfered with. I thought it was good defense actually, Jack. The guy managed to work his arm over Larry Brown's elbow there, getting behind him and made a really beautiful play Vivien Lee did.

317
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:53,360
Howard Stevens deep. Chris Baratopoulos and Maurice Spencer back there. Bobby Walden standing at his own 11 yard line. Snap of the football, the front carries left to right and Walden gets away a boomer.

318
01:00:53,360 --> 01:01:09,360
And that's going to take Howard Stevens back to his own 22, gets down behind the 20, coming to the near side, coming up the side, out of the 25, to the 30 and throw it under at the 32, lost the football out of bounds. Of no effect whatsoever on the play.

319
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:25,360
And that's Bradley over to make the stop along with Steve Burnett. He's a football continues after this brief timeout. With the wind that is back, Bobby Walden booms the ball 52 yards. The return is for nine yards.

320
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:42,360
The Saints take over first down at their own 32 yard line and the score of course is 7-0 to the Steelers. The Saints thus far, and there are six minutes remaining in this first half, the Saints have not been able to mount much of an offense at all.

321
01:01:42,360 --> 01:02:01,360
The Jack is pointing out the Steelers seem very well prepared for the razzle-dazzle that the Saints repeatedly have tried to throw at them in the form of rather unusual formations, the double wing and lots of deep stuff, the deep handoffs, deep pitch and that sort of thing.

322
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:20,360
But the Steelers defense has been up to it. One offense with 6-0-1 to play in the first half, Steelers leading 7-0. The New Orleans has its own 32 yard line. Double wing back with a split in out to the left side and a single running back and now the wing back, Jeff Phillips goes in motion to hand off to H. Jerry Alvin Maxson and he picks up yardage.

323
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:31,360
The penalty marker goes down, about to fall up to the 36 and a half yard line again of about five yards, get a holding call against the New Orleans, that will be the first penalty on the Saints tonight.

324
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:54,360
Elsie Greenwood made the tackle, 6-year veteran from Arkansas A.M. and M. and a 10 yard mark off coming up against the New Orleans Saints.

325
01:02:54,360 --> 01:03:10,360
Now he has it marking off 10. Takes it back to the 21 yard line. Holding, first penalty against New Orleans. So the Saints are looking at first down and 20 yards to go at their own 21 yard line.

326
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:24,360
And let's see what they've got in that interior line. Paul Steel is still playing the tight end position, Joe Parker wide receiver. Thompson, Cupp, Gideon, Raisley and Morrison in the interior line.

327
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:32,360
And here's the draw hand off and we've got him. Alvin Maxson coming ahead as they'll join to the line of scrimmage. Joe Green was there and waiting.

328
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:41,360
And they will give him the 20 yard line for a loss of a yard. Back to the 20 yard line, it's second down and 21 yards to go.

329
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:52,360
A draw hand off and Alvin Maxson had nowhere to go on that one. Joe Green was waiting. Jeff Phillips comes off the field.

330
01:03:52,360 --> 01:04:03,360
The Saints come out of the huddle. Paul Steel is set up for the squawk to the left inside Bob Millen. Joe Parker is out to the right.

331
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:11,360
A single running back set up all alone and Archie Manning drops back to flow. Manning takes out of the pocket now throwing.

332
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:23,360
The lines that open that intercepted by Andy Russell at the 30 yard line. The pass was intended for Johnny Beasley, inserted in for a running back and Andy Russell made the interception at the New Orleans 30 yard line.

333
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:32,360
Archie Manning was under pressure. Thus far tonight he has not reacted well under pressure. Andy Russell comes up with the interception.

334
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:41,360
He's the first one tonight for the Pittsburgh Steelers and for Andy Russell his first one of the season. And Archie Manning has been very inaccurate tonight.

335
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:54,360
He has not been around to mark and that time he was short with the pass and an easy interception for Russell. Manning is 1 for 7, two interceptions, he's 8 yards.

336
01:04:54,360 --> 01:05:03,360
He's at the 30 and a half yard line and his fresh deep handoff to Steve Davis coming out the left side rambles to the 25 and goes down to the 22 yard line.

337
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:11,360
Steve Davis getting out the left side with a block from Jerry Mullin. Manning's on the sideline as he ran into Tom Myers who brought him down.

338
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:24,360
Now Andy Russell's interception is the 22nd of the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers and as we told you, Russell's first of the year.

339
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:30,360
Game of about 8 yards on the running play with Steve Davis. Randy Grossman has replaced Larry Brown at tight end.

340
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:36,360
Larry Bradshaw the quarterback on second down 2 at the New Orleans 22, 430 to play in the first half.

341
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:48,360
Here's the handoff fake. Bradshaw has the ball running to the right and he's going to keep running over the 20, the 15, down to the 10 and out of bounds on the near side of the field at the 10 yard line.

342
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:55,360
Jim Marlowe chased him out of bounds and you can see the blockers waiting for a decision from Bradshaw.

343
01:05:55,360 --> 01:06:08,360
And out there was Mike Webster amidst a group of other Pittsburgh Steelers looking to see what Jerry's decision would be and he carried it down to the 10 yard line.

344
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:16,360
Oh my, yeah, I would say to myself, run Jerry, run that. Oh, near side of the field was open here and you wanted the first sign.

345
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:21,360
Of course that was the important thing and he got it with room to spare.

346
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:31,360
Bradshaw back in his home state down here where he has a little ranch of his own, little quiet spot to cut hay, grow a few animals.

347
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:37,360
Bradshaw gives it off to Franco. Franco meets with this and just off the right side we get a couple of yards to the 8.

348
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:52,360
Dirlen Moore and Bob Pollard in at the bottom of the play, the Saints defense in the middle, very tough that time and the ball is marked at the 8 yard line. It's going to be second down and he can go.

349
01:06:52,360 --> 01:07:02,360
It appears, and I could be wrong, as though the sticks are short of the goal line, like you might pick up a first down inches short of the goal line.

350
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:09,360
Once you get down that close it's not likely you'll need it. Here's Franco to the left, Shacklin flanking right.

351
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,360
Pittsburgh leading 7 to nothing, 340 to play in the second quarter.

352
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:23,360
Bradshaw takes, gives it to Steve Davis, cutting outside of the left. He's over the 5, he's down to the 3 yard line and not down.

353
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:35,360
Jim Merlow and Joe Pettersfield were over there and Davis appeared to be stopped short for the 5 and puttied way over the 5 and finally comes down at the 3 yard line.

354
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:45,360
It's going to be third down and 3 yards to go. Shacklin is out of the ball game and Larry Brown comes back as a second side in and here they are hurrying people onto the field.

355
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:53,360
We've got Alex Price and Don Coleman coming on, cornerback Vivian Lee and Fakie man Tom Myers coming off.

356
01:07:53,360 --> 01:08:02,360
We've shifted another man with Doris going in to replace Johnny Puller and they've got their goal line defense in there, third and three.

357
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:10,360
Bradshaw rolling right, Bradshaw throwing touchdown, Franco on the near side of the field and the penalty marker goes down.

358
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:20,360
Can you believe that? Franco Harris got it for the touchdown and the penalty marker is going to be thrown against Randy Grossman.

359
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:30,360
Interference against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

360
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:37,360
If I were not going partial in my viewing of this ball game, I would have said there's a gigantic conspiracy out here to penalize us for laying to the field this time.

361
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:43,360
Well I think they're calling Grossman for pushing off but in any event the Steelers lose the touchdown.

362
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:53,360
It was a 3 yard pass, a nice catch it was thrown to Franco's inside. He had to come back a little for it, sort of twist around to make the catch but it doesn't count.

363
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:58,360
The ball is pushed back to all the 17 and a half yard line.

364
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:08,360
By the way Jack, Andy Russell's interception is second for the Steelers today, ties the Steelers for the league lead in interceptions with Oakland and Kansas City.

365
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:14,360
So if they intercept one more tonight, they not only lead the league in sacks but also in interceptions.

366
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:23,360
Please welcome the Steelers defense. Ball is back at the 17 and a half yard line, going to be third down and 17 and a half yards to go.

367
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:38,360
Thanks to their normal defensive alignment, we have Collard Myers the back end, Jackson and Vivian Lee, Merlo, Fetter, Steele and Coleman, Billy Newsom, Bob Pollard, Derlin Moore and Joe Holland.

368
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:43,360
And they're awaiting the Pittsburgh Steelers who are huddling discussing the situation.

369
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:51,360
Fetter Steele has been over to talk with the coaching staff and he's back out there and Terry Bradshaw completes this conference with Chuck Knowles.

370
01:09:51,360 --> 01:10:00,360
Seven nothing ballgames, 2.47 to go in the first half. Pittsburgh is dominated but there hasn't been that much scoring.

371
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:08,360
And I might point out that this is going to be a short week because the Houston Oilers are at Three Rivers Stadium next Sunday afternoon.

372
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:15,360
And they dropped a 10-0 ballgame to Dallas yesterday, a very controversial play apparently.

373
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:25,360
The Oilers insisting that on the Dallas touchdown, which was a dive from the one yard line, the Oilers insisting the Dallas ball carrier did not make it into the end zone.

374
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:30,360
But anyhow it ended Houston's four-game winning streak.

375
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:46,360
Frank Lewis to the left, Ron Shacklin to the right. Running back are Harrison Davis, Bradshaw the quarterback for the Steelers. In the 17 and a half yard line it is third down and Bradshaw backfental straight back deep now runs forward over the 20, the 15.

376
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:51,360
He's down to the 10, the 5, he's going in for a touchdown. Bradshaw carries it down the middle.

377
01:10:51,360 --> 01:11:01,360
Gave it a little juked to the right side of the 10, cut back went right straight down the middle of the thing. Galloped into the end zone standing up and he is being congratulated.

378
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:09,360
Frank O'Hara to his arms around Gary B. And the other members of the offensive unit over there are doing a great job. Well done.

379
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:19,360
And Bradshaw took advantage of that situation. He's carried seven times tonight, 67 yards and now has added a touchdown.

380
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:24,360
And for Gary Bradshaw that is the second touchdown of the season.

381
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:32,360
Roy Jarrella is going to try for the point and there is a problem so they've taken a time out.

382
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:37,360
And I'm not exactly sure what that problem is. Bobby Walden is going over there short of man.

383
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:42,360
Well this happened too many times this year.

384
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:50,360
But it gives me an opportunity to point out that Bradshaw made a great move at the seven yard line on linebacker Joe Fedderspil.

385
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:58,360
Left Joe Fedderspil sprawled on his face. He had the shot at Bradshaw. He couldn't take the move and Bradshaw scored.

386
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:06,360
Alright Jarrella will try for the point. Walden the holder. Pittsburgh leading 13 to nothing. The ball is down. Jarrella kicks it with the wind.

387
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:15,360
It is good. It's a 14-winning ball game in favor of the Steelers who after Russell's interception took the football 30 yards in five plays.

388
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:22,360
And Gary Bradshaw after the penalty is hanging it back to the 17 and a half yard line moved it straight down the middle.

389
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:29,360
He dropped straight back the throw and then ran with the football and as Lyron told you gave it a great move right in the middle of the run.

390
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:38,360
Right inside the 10 yard line and then galloped into the end zone unmolested and that was enough to make the New Orleans Saints fans cringe in their seats.

391
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:42,360
And Terry knew he had to go all the way. He had to drive it up the middle of the ball field.

392
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:48,360
Of course if he hadn't gone all the way they probably would have had an easy field goal but he wanted that touchback.

393
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,360
The Steelers have used up two of their three timeouts now.

394
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:59,360
There are two minutes and 38 seconds remaining in this first half. I don't think the use of their timeouts will prove to be important.

395
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:06,360
Stevens and Spencer are deep and Howard Stevens under the ball five yards deep in the end zone. He'll kneel with it.

396
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,360
Howard Steelers will take the automatic touchback.

397
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,360
Two minutes 32 seconds.

398
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:28,360
22nd quarter Pittsburgh 14 New Orleans 7. And the Saints are ready to move on offense right to left here.

399
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,360
Rather cool night in New Orleans.

400
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,360
But it's in the 30s by now, Dex, don't you think?

401
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:35,360
I wouldn't question it at all.

402
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:39,360
Be good to get back to Pittsburgh tonight where it's warm and snowy.

403
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:45,360
What Lou? Are you a broadcaster on this team? What are you talking in this place for?

404
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:47,360
Let's check our talkative spotter.

405
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,360
Here you can use my microphone. What did you have to say?

406
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,360
They're playing ball down there.

407
01:13:53,360 --> 01:14:00,360
They're playing football in New Orleans. Or no game whatsoever.

408
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:11,360
Parker took the pass. He got back to the line of scrimmage of the 20 and Hamm and Thomas were there waiting for him.

409
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:19,360
At halftime I'm going to resolve this matter of microphone jurisdiction.

410
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:26,360
Well I'll tell you something, Craig. You know, you better mind your manners. You're not any bigger than Howard Stevens.

411
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:31,360
And he says I'm not either.

412
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:38,360
Well it's a good thing you're not flying home on the charter tonight, Myron, because you just might be without a seat.

413
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,360
Yeah, that's right.

414
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:45,360
First down, second down, down 10 yards to go and New Orleans will stop the clock with a time-out.

415
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:49,360
The automatic time-out. Where's our commercial?

416
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:56,360
I'll wait for the producers to inform you there's a break in the action. We'll be right back.

417
01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:02,360
Okay, two minutes remaining and a half. Here go the Saints from their own 20-yard line.

418
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:08,360
Second down, 10 yards to go. A spot-right formation. Now they slip. They bring Joe Parker wide to the left.

419
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:12,360
And move their spot back in closer on the right side. Manning rolls left.

420
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:16,360
Throwing to the near side. E. Auburn throws his target. Good. Nice.

421
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:22,360
At the 39-yard line, Parker's a side line. He's a good step-letter and the crowd is really wild.

422
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:27,360
He threw it all the way into the Saints bench area. Mike Wagner with a pretty good cover on Parker.

423
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:33,360
Could be that Archie Manning decided to just let it go that way rather than risk it.

424
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:43,360
An interception at that point could give him much trouble. He is 2 for 9 with two interceptions and a total of 8 yards passing tonight.

425
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:48,360
He was a great prospect. They say he was hurt by the lack of a quarterback coach here.

426
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:58,360
They've now got Lamar McCann in working with him and supposed to have helped but tonight he's off the ball. He's inaccurate.

427
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:07,360
Archie Manning back to throw. Manning fires the ball. Look out. It is intercepted. Picks off the stealers.

428
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:17,360
Have it running with the foot. Now it's just a move. He's supposed to fall down into the 32-yard line.

429
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:27,360
The ball was picked off by J.P. Thomas who is running with it. He fumbled a good ball.

430
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,360
I think Edwards Burnett's running up with the ball.

431
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:40,360
When Edwards was recovering, J.P. Thomas intercepted the ball. It's back to the 32-yard line.

432
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:46,360
It is going to be first down and 10. The stealers now lead the league in interception.

433
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:53,360
Archie Manning made the tackle on the play. That was his contribution after throwing the interception.

434
01:16:53,360 --> 01:17:00,360
Here is Bradshaw bootlegging. He's dropping back. Banging on the fireside. Almost not by Steve Davis.

435
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:05,360
Can't hold it. At the 15-yard line on the runway, and Coleman coming over to cover.

436
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:11,360
Bradshaw's fault pass of the night. Manning has now thrown three interceptions.

437
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:17,360
J.P. Thomas, he picked it off, gets his step interception tying him with Lynn Edwards.

438
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:27,360
The stealers now have 23 interceptions on the season, as Myron told you. That brings them right up to the top.

439
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:37,360
Second down, 10. Rock shows a minute 36. The height and the distance here made it almost impossible for me to tell what had happened after J.P.

440
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:43,360
ran into some people down there. Again, a scramble for the football.

441
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:48,360
Second down to the left, Lewis. Blanker, right, Shanklin. Bradshaw drops straight back.

442
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:55,360
Bradshaw looks, looks, looks, looks. Manning a time, throws for the end zone, and a crowd there. This batter away incomplete.

443
01:17:55,360 --> 01:18:00,360
His target was Ronnie Shanklin, double coverage on him from Ernie Jackson and John Myers.

444
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:04,360
And the pass is deflected over the end line and out of play.

445
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:11,360
Rock is down to a minute 27. Ball comes back to the 32-yard line in possession of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

446
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,360
Third down, 10 yards to go in Orleans territory.

447
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:22,360
I tell you, Bradshaw could have caught a bus. He had so much time to throw that ball. Did they ever give him protection?

448
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,360
Shanklin is down and Lynn Swarmer's in.

449
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:33,360
Number one draft choice, rookie from Southern California. He's been hampered by an injured finger.

450
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:41,360
He flips right. Lewis is out to the left. And we got Bradshaw back and throwing to the near side.

451
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:48,360
And on a comeback at the sideline, incomplete at the 21. As Warren, covered by Ernie Jackson, cannot hold on to the football,

452
01:18:48,360 --> 01:18:54,360
appeared to be over the sideline anyway. And Bradshaw's 14 yards of the night goes incomplete.

453
01:18:54,360 --> 01:19:00,360
And now with the win behind him, Roy Giordano is going to try to add three more points to the Pittsburgh lead.

454
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:08,360
Minute 22. This will be some kind of a kick. Bobby Walden kneeling at the 39. It would make it a 49-yard kick.

455
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:14,360
But the win, for whatever it might be worth down there, is behind Giorello.

456
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:21,360
And Giorello will be kicking from the 39, a 49-yard attempt. And Giorello has it in the air straight away.

457
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:29,360
And it comes down short. In the first, a little too much tension.

458
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:34,360
So the field goal fly is unsuccessful.

459
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:40,360
Somebody has left the safe and hard dog down on the field.

460
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:45,360
Got the match down to the sink.

461
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,360
That is going crazy. He has an army of snakes.

462
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:55,360
Side two.

463
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,360
Bobby Scott at quarterback. They're making a quick.

464
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:05,360
It is going to be Bobby Scott at quarterback.

465
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,360
They're playing the quarterback game in New Orleans tonight.

466
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:11,360
At the 32-yard line.

467
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:12,360
Here's the handoff.

468
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:19,360
Carried forward over the left side by Jack Phillips, fighting his way to the 34-yard line.

469
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,360
Whitebite and Jack Gamm on the top.

470
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,360
Bobby Scott, three of the veterans from Tennessee.

471
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,360
The 6'1", 200-pound, 25-years-old.

472
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,360
Second down and eight yards to go.

473
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:36,360
Locket turning with 54 seconds to play in the first half.

474
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:40,360
Joe Parker to the right, Bob Neal into the left, and a fair setback.

475
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:42,360
Bobby Scott directs the attack.

476
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:44,360
Gives the ball out to Alvin Maxson.

477
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,360
Finds no running room as he is hit.

478
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:51,360
The ball is out on the white team.

479
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,360
Coming into the middle of the line.

480
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:59,360
Penalty marker down. Up at the New Orleans, 43-yard line.

481
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:02,360
Apparently against Pittsburgh, it goes to J.P. Thomas.

482
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:04,360
He's stamping his foot in disgust.

483
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:10,360
Personal foul against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

484
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:17,360
The 45-yard line is ready to step off 15 yards.

485
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,360
The New Orleans would have a minimum of first downs tonight

486
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:24,360
had it not been for the penalties, two automatic first downs.

487
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:27,360
This one will give the things a first down.

488
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,360
The Saints may have more yardage and penalties in their favor

489
01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:33,360
than they've got in total offense.

490
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,360
It'll be interesting to see.

491
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,360
And this takes the ball up near the 50-yard line,

492
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,360
and it's off to Pittsburgh's territory.

493
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:46,360
Pittsburgh has been penalized a total of 65 yards.

494
01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:52,360
And we'll take a look in a few moments at the things total offense.

495
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,360
Here they come out of the huddle.

496
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:59,360
They have 8 yards rushing, 29 yards, or rather 8 yards cashing,

497
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:01,360
29 rushing, so they have made more of a penalty

498
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,360
than they have in their offense.

499
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,360
Here is the pass to far side and complete.

500
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,360
This one is pretty darn good.

501
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:10,360
A great rush.

502
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:11,360
That's on the puttler right now.

503
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,360
We've got a penalty marker going down.

504
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:15,360
The pass is complete.

505
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:17,360
This one is going to be after the play.

506
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,360
Bob Mueller went down and over to the sideline,

507
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,360
and J.P. Thomas made the defensive play on it.

508
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,360
He caught the pass at the sideline.

509
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:28,360
Should have a first down, but back up field,

510
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:32,360
a penalty marker goes down, and there's a discussion.

511
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:35,360
We're awaiting the preliminary signal.

512
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,360
First foul to Orleans.

513
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:38,360
First foul to Pittsburgh.

514
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,360
They say no play.

515
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:48,360
Now they're going to keep the ball down there.

516
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,360
The official signal, off-setting penalty.

517
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,360
Jack, now he's signaling a first down.

518
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,360
They may have thrown Steve Burnett out of the game.

519
01:22:56,360 --> 01:23:01,360
I'm not sure, but he's off the field on the sideline.

520
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:05,360
I think he was involved in the monkey shines on the line.

521
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:10,360
The off-setting penalties do not involve the play coming after the play,

522
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,360
and he did not give us that indication.

523
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,360
Here's a pass from a man coming out of the back field,

524
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:18,360
Howard Stevens, going to the 35.

525
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,360
And the one is we use a timeout.

526
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:22,360
Tackle made by Lauren J.

527
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:32,360
So what we saw, simply off-setting penalties after the play.

528
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:38,360
Mike Widener with the personal foul, as far as the Steelers are concerned.

529
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,360
Let's see, probably that's because of the 33 defense.

530
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:43,360
The pass against the defense, that's all.

531
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,360
He was not thrown out of the game.

532
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,360
He's got a fourth line back to Lauren J. Zimair.

533
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:57,360
So Scott is now 2 for 2 for 16 yards on the evening.

534
01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:03,360
Archie Manning, 3 for 10 with three interceptions, 8 yards.

535
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,360
And the Saints have moved the ball to the Pittsburgh 34-yard line.

536
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:09,360
It is second down and about 5 yards to go.

537
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:14,360
26 seconds remaining to play in the first half.

538
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:17,360
And they are warming up their field goal kitchen.

539
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,360
That does not show a great deal of confidence in their offense.

540
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:24,360
You know, kind of an unusual thing, taking your quarterback out,

541
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,360
with only a minute and 12 seconds remaining in the first half,

542
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:29,360
you don't see that very often.

543
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,360
Usually if the quarterback's going sour,

544
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:36,360
the coach will ride with them at least until halftime and then make the switch.

545
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:39,360
But we've seen it done the other way tonight,

546
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:44,360
and I don't believe Manning was hurt so huge.

547
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:45,360
No difference.

548
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:49,360
Gary Gerson says, in effect, John North is unusual.

549
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,360
Well, he was accused of being too conservative,

550
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,360
but in recent weeks he's been anything but.

551
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,360
Second down, 5.

552
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:59,360
Bobby Scott, the quarterback now in place of Archie Manning,

553
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:00,360
has completed two passes.

554
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:01,360
Scott drops straight back.

555
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:02,360
Manow rolls right.

556
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,360
Look, look, look, look, throws.

557
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,360
And he overthrows into the band.

558
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:13,360
That one could have been caught by an usher and carried out into the green.

559
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,360
Bob Newland was the intended receiver.

560
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:21,360
Elsie Greenwood was on the run in pursuit of the quarterback,

561
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,360
and that will be the 13th pass by New Orleans.

562
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:26,360
Clocked down to 19 seconds.

563
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,360
Third down and 5 for the Saints.

564
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:32,360
Operating at Pittsburgh, 34 Steelers leading 14 to nothing.

565
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,360
And the way this first half is moving,

566
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:38,360
this might be one of those Monday night games that goes until 1230 at night.

567
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:40,360
Why are you rubbing your hands together?

568
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:41,360
Are you cold?

569
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,360
My hands are cold.

570
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:48,360
Bill Buffer is due to the running back.

571
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,360
Here is Bobby Scott dropping back.

572
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,360
And just a ball away it is.

573
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,360
Broken up, I believe, by Andy Russell.

574
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,360
Had a great rush on him.

575
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,360
Andy Russell's got a hand on the ball.

576
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,360
Yes, Andy Russell had the blitz going,

577
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,360
and he was right on top of Scott.

578
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:08,360
Scott just got rid of it and wanted no part of it.

579
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:15,360
We'll be back after this pause on the Steelers football network.

580
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,360
New Orleans, 4 down.

581
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,360
Bobby Scott drops back.

582
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,360
Scott fires down the middle and it is deflected.

583
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:27,360
Brett Edwards up in the air to get a hand on a pass and get it for the fight.

584
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:30,360
And Paul Steel, around the 25-yard line.

585
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,360
It is incomplete.

586
01:26:32,360 --> 01:26:37,360
And the Steelers take over with 11 seconds remaining on the clock in the second quarter.

587
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:42,360
Planning to run over those passing figures for you.

588
01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:47,360
Archie Manning, we show, with 2 for 10, 3 interceptions, 8 yards.

589
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:52,360
And Scott, 2 out of 5, for 16 yards.

590
01:26:52,360 --> 01:27:01,360
Giving New Orleans 4 out of 15 on the night with 3 interceptions.

591
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:05,360
Jerry Bradshaw gives the ball to Franco, trying to get outside of the left.

592
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:10,360
Touchback, he's coming forward over the 40 and up to the 43-yard line.

593
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:14,360
Franco here short of a burst down by about 2 yards.

594
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:16,360
Scott is going to run up.

595
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:23,360
We're having the first half of the ballgame. Doris Pittsburgh, 14, New Orleans, nothing.

596
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:25,360
Okay, we're ready to kick off.

597
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,360
Girella tees it up at the 35-yard line.

598
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:33,360
And we've got New Orleans aligned to receive a kickoff.

599
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:37,360
There comes the official out of the football.

600
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:38,360
You had a reminder over there, did you?

601
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:45,360
Yes, a reminder that pilot season tickets for 1975 are now on sale for as little as 52.50.

602
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:48,360
That's quite a great Christmas gift.

603
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,360
And now Girella will put the ball down.

604
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:59,360
And Richard Winden is back, probably deep into the end zone as he did the last time, taking advantage of that strong wind.

605
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,360
Jack, you put on an overcoat.

606
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:08,360
That's right, I got it on now.

607
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:12,360
Girella is ready.

608
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:18,360
I'm not sure what's going on, but I've got a feeling that we're having an enforced timeout here.

609
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:22,360
Lengthen so that certain people can get their commercials on the air.

610
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,360
Here comes Girella.

611
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,360
And he kicks it very high.

612
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:35,360
Coming down relatively short to the HDI line, Howard Stevens, 15 to 20, caught and brought down as he crosses the 25-yard line by Reggie Garrett.

613
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:42,360
Reggie Garrett becoming the number one headhunter of the Steelers, the 6'1", 172, a streak of lightning from Eastern Michigan.

614
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:46,360
Lies in to that little fella and brings him down at the 27-yard line.

615
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,360
A 19-yard return.

616
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:50,360
And Reggie, of course, is a rookie.

617
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:51,360
He was a free agent.

618
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:52,360
His brother plays for the Saints.

619
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,360
The Saints tried to sign him, I understand.

620
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,360
But no, he didn't sign with his brother, he seemed to sign with the Steelers.

621
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:02,360
And that was a surprise because they were deep in receivers.

622
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,360
Bobby Scott is back again.

623
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,360
The run into Allianz attack.

624
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:07,360
Slot right from the eye.

625
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:08,360
Gives the ball off.

626
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:14,360
Alvin Maxson going to the near side and it's Corral knocked out of bounds at the 30-yard line.

627
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:17,360
Mel Blunt in fire pursuit.

628
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:18,360
Aided by Andy Russell.

629
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,360
Blunt, the five-year veteran from Southern U, 6'3", 205 pounds.

630
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:26,360
Southern played Grambling on Saturday on this field here.

631
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:34,360
And they drew a tremendous crowd of supporters for this big Southern football classic.

632
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:37,360
Grambling won a 21-0 before 74,000 people here.

633
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,360
Yeah, and they had about that many for Tulane LSU at Baton Rouge.

634
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:45,360
And now the crowd of over 70,000 here all this on the weekend.

635
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:49,360
67,000 at Baton Rouge, 74,000 here, 70,000.

636
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:53,360
A football flourish is in the south end on the handoff to Jess Phillips.

637
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:58,360
Scott, going to the line of scrimmage and fights his way forward and he'll pick up yardage.

638
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:05,360
Andy Russell finally brought him down at the 33-2-yard gain.

639
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,360
Going to be third down and about three yards to go.

640
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:15,360
You, Greg, if we could fly out of here a lot about 12-30, Allianz time,

641
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,360
we'll be two and a half hour flight back, two hours.

642
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:24,360
That takes us back in there at about 2-30 to three, Wallenstein, 3-30 to 4, Pittsburgh time.

643
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:27,360
It's a lovely way to spend an early morning.

644
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:34,360
Here is Bobby and trouble, he is back at the 20-yard line and the man who had him was Joe Green.

645
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,360
Joe Green had him by the arm and was in the process of bringing him down.

646
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:43,360
And Elsie Greenwood came over to help out, but Joe Green will get the sack.

647
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:51,360
And for the mean man, that is his second and I give him nine and a half on the season.

648
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:55,360
Okay, Edwards and Swan are deep and Tom Blanchard will punch.

649
01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:59,360
When the Wallenstein follows at the 19-yard line,

650
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:04,360
I think the offense has been pretty well corralled throughout the evening.

651
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,360
Blanchard's standing at his own six.

652
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:11,360
Gets the snap, gets the football, low trajectory, good punch.

653
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:16,360
Backing up to take it, Lynn Swan at his own 38, running wide with the outside line over the 45,

654
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:20,360
the 50, look at the speed, here he comes down the side line over the 30, the 30.

655
01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,360
Swan is going to go all the way for a pitch for catch down.

656
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:28,360
Lynn Swan took the puck at his own 38-yard line,

657
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:32,360
headed to the far side line and they had a lane for him.

658
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,360
And Swan turned on the speed.

659
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:38,360
That's the first really good look we've seen at the rookie

660
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:42,360
on Southern California, 62 yards on the return.

661
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:44,360
And the big play, what do you think of that one?

662
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,360
Well, you might even give him two more yards on it, Jack.

663
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:49,360
He may have been back even at the 36.

664
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:53,360
Joe Green took a guy out on the far side line, Bill Butler,

665
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:58,360
that was the guy who had the chance at one and Joe Plastom, I believe it was Joe.

666
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:01,360
Roy Jarrella kicks for the point after.

667
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:05,360
Roy Jarrella hits the point after.

668
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:10,360
Lynn Swan has gone an earlier touchdown passing in the season.

669
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:15,360
This is the second touchdown of the year, second of his professional career.

670
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:18,360
And the Steelers move out to a 21-0 lead.

671
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:20,360
Now there's a break in the action at New Orleans.

672
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:22,360
We'll be right back.

673
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:30,360
Well, the Saints who last weekend whipped the Los Angeles Rams,

674
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:34,360
now trailing the Steelers 21-0 in his Jarrellas kickoff.

675
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,360
And he kicks it very well.

676
01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:38,360
And over in, back into the end zone,

677
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:44,360
Stevens bobbles it around, Paul's run up to the automatic touchdown.

678
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:49,360
Roy Jarrella kicks it very well with the Steelers.

679
01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:55,360
That brings Jack Hart, wonder, getting retriever out on the field.

680
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,360
And Jackie is back over to the other side.

681
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:00,360
How many years have you been with the Steelers?

682
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,360
I don't know, but I mean, let's get out there and get a quick look.

683
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:08,360
Jack Hart who handles the equipment in charge of the field.

684
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,360
I grew up with Art Rooney Jr.

685
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:14,360
and they used to stuff each other in garbage cans over on the north side.

686
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:15,360
Is that right?

687
01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,360
Yeah.

688
01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,360
All right, New Orleans ready to go, trailing 21-0.

689
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,360
Bobby's got the quarterback, second man through, takes the football.

690
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:29,360
That's Jeff Phillips, and he'll pick up about 3 1 half yards on the play.

691
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:33,360
Jack Lambert, rookie from Kent State.

692
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:38,360
And as I understand it, a potential candidate for rookie of the year.

693
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:42,360
Who's that? I was looking up how many years Jack Hart's been with the Steelers.

694
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:43,360
Jack's flat.

695
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:44,360
I can't find it.

696
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:47,360
Oh, Jack's flat's a good one.

697
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:51,360
We are gained third and seventh.

698
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:54,360
Now they have a flanker to the right, split end to the left.

699
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:57,360
And here's the handoff going to Maxam.

700
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,360
He's coming to the left, turns the corner out over the 30 to 35,

701
01:34:00,360 --> 01:34:02,360
and he goes to the 36 yard line.

702
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:07,360
Maxam, and Edwards making the stop.

703
01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:11,360
First down for the thing, 13-yard gate.

704
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,360
Think they're doing something that might make a profit out of me.

705
01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,360
They're going to bread and butter football now.

706
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:23,360
Not that I would even propose to be in a class with John North at Mapping Strategy,

707
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:26,360
not even near it.

708
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:29,360
I'll tell you one thing, they've done better throughout the evening

709
01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:36,360
when they've stuck to good solid football and left the razzle-dazzle behind.

710
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:40,360
Now here they are again with a straight flanker, right, split end left.

711
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:44,360
He's got back, and the quarterback's got back the throw,

712
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,360
and he fires too high, near side.

713
01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:51,360
Intended for Joel Parker at 5th third, 43 on the sideline.

714
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:53,360
He was covered by Grant Edwards.

715
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:56,360
Pass was thrown too high, carried out of bounds, incomplete.

716
01:34:56,360 --> 01:35:01,360
Well, he wanted to go to Alvin Max and a running back coming out of the backfield,

717
01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:04,360
but he was picked up very nicely by the stealer defense,

718
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:11,360
so got through a little deeper than he wanted to.

719
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:13,360
What if you'd check, Myron, you've got the glasses,

720
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:16,360
and who's doing all that throwing over there behind the stealer bench there?

721
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,360
Maybe they're just keeping Terry Bradshaw warm.

722
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,360
Yeah, that's Bradshaw.

723
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:24,360
He's just staying warm. Got back just short there after him.

724
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:29,360
He throws complete under pressure, beautiful pass down to the Pittsburgh 48 stop-up,

725
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:31,360
Paul Field. Great rush.

726
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,360
I want to look back here and tell you about it.

727
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:39,360
Dwight White was in there coming in on the play.

728
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:43,360
Grant Edwards made the stop-down field at the Pittsburgh 43-yard line,

729
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:48,360
a 21-yard pass play with Paul Field, a rookie from Michigan, the receiver.

730
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:52,360
Now, Scott, very cool that time, had a big, big rush on him.

731
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:58,360
That pass on the money for the Saints of the advance in the Pittsburgh territory.

732
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:01,360
Flop right formation. They run out of the eye this time,

733
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:04,360
and to give us to the inside back, Alvin Maxum.

734
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:08,360
Well, he's turning ahead down over the 40s down to the Pittsburgh 39-yard line.

735
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:13,360
Joe Green and L.C. Greenwoods team up on the stop for the stealers,

736
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:20,360
and the Saints will pick up about four yards, call it second down and six.

737
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:23,360
I do not think we'll see arrowhead Holmes at all tonight,

738
01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:26,360
and that's a pro to him because he wants that Monday night exposure.

739
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,360
He wants that publicity that brings all pro runners.

740
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:32,360
That's why he drew his hair in the shape of an arrow,

741
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,360
so he's missing out on the Monday night exposure.

742
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:38,360
Rod McNeil, a rookie running back from Southern Cowell,

743
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:41,360
is in the ball game for the first time. He's been listed as injured,

744
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,360
and the handoff is Jim McNeil.

745
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:48,360
He gets short yardage.

746
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:50,360
They said that he would probably not play.

747
01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:56,360
Fernes and Lambert work together on the stop, two yards gain on the play,

748
01:36:56,360 --> 01:37:01,360
third down and four yards to go for New Orleans, and they're at the Pittsburgh 37.

749
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,360
See, Fernes doesn't look like a drag down there tonight.

750
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:07,360
He's not hurting the stealers one bit.

751
01:37:07,360 --> 01:37:11,360
Am I wrong? In recollection, we'll see one of the veterans who reported in

752
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:14,360
and played in this game down here before played extremely well against the Saints.

753
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,360
Yeah, I believe it was here. I think that was the game right here.

754
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,360
What a good game here.

755
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:23,360
Here is Sacks back at the 50-yard line, and it's Steve Fernes.

756
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:26,360
We were just talking about him.

757
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:28,360
I would say that was a very timely conversation.

758
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:34,360
They will spot the ball at the 49-yard line, and a sack for Steve Fernes.

759
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,360
The fifth sack of the ball game for the stealers.

760
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:40,360
Oh, great cow. They've got a total of 45 on this season.

761
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:43,360
Let's pause now for station identification.

762
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:47,360
Hello, this is Larry O'Brien, and I'd like to hear every morning to start your day with a fun way.

763
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:53,360
Come meet the A.D. and your member from Pittsburgh.

764
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:57,360
Thank you, Punctual Nation. Tom Blanchard will kick the football.

765
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:02,360
Edwards and Klaun are deep for Pittsburgh, and here is the punch coming in short

766
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:06,360
inside the 20, bounding over to the side of the field, such as the Saints.

767
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:11,360
Picked up by Klaun, dives forward, gets two or three yards out of it to the 14-yard line.

768
01:38:11,360 --> 01:38:15,360
I've noticed he's showing you what will happen if you let the ball bounce around.

769
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:21,360
Lynn Klaun, an opportunist, and he just picked it up and dived forward for about three yards,

770
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:27,360
and Don Coleman got on him and stopped him, and the ball is just short of the 14-yard line.

771
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:32,360
Got a break in the action down on the field. We'll be right back.

772
01:38:32,360 --> 01:39:00,360
I'm not a big fan of basketball, but I'm a big fan of basketball.

773
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:03,360
...General Elective Hamilton, Baldy, come in right now.

774
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:06,360
Fabulous feelings of appliances, radios, giftwares, even jewelry.

775
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,360
Basketball designers talk about inflation. Check master prices and compare.

776
01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:14,360
You can whip inflation right now during the giant 20th anniversary sale.

777
01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:17,360
Now on to win it all back to the showroom.

778
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,360
Check more white pages for the showroom mirror's view.

779
01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:37,360
Nine minutes and 33 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

780
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,360
The steer is leading 21 to nothing, and here's Jack Fleming.

781
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:45,360
John McMacon, veteran at tight end who was injured throughout much of the early part of the season,

782
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:47,360
is in the ball game.

783
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:50,360
And off is given to Steve Davis and Big Steve.

784
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:56,360
Piles just off the left side out over the 15, he'll pick up about five yards, runs into Alex Price.

785
01:39:56,360 --> 01:40:00,360
Second year man from Alcorn State, linebacker Joe Feddersfield.

786
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:06,360
Three year man from Kentucky, the ball is marked just short of the 19 yard line,

787
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:08,360
again a five second down and five to go.

788
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:14,360
I'm not saying that this game is locked up, but I want to toss some interesting figures here away

789
01:40:14,360 --> 01:40:16,360
as soon as I have an opportunity.

790
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:21,360
Alrighty, we've got Shacklin set to the right, Frank Lewis out to the left,

791
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,360
shifts him off the IA formation.

792
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:27,360
Here's Brad Shaw giving the ball to Franco to the outside of the left.

793
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:33,360
He traps, cuts forward, runs two people over the 25, the 30, and arms a 32 yard line as he bumbled it.

794
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:36,360
He has and New Orleans recovered.

795
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,360
Boxed the field from it, Franco lost the football.

796
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:43,360
And the New Orleans Saints come up with it.

797
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:48,360
First turnover of that nature tonight for the Steelers.

798
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:52,360
And New Orleans has the ball at the 31 and a half yard line.

799
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:56,360
Jim Merlo recovered the fumble for the New Orleans Saints.

800
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:59,360
And they have a first and tenet for 31 and a half.

801
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,360
Franco, who went for over 100 yards against Cleveland,

802
01:41:02,360 --> 01:41:06,360
fumbled several times in that game as a fight he wasn't concentrating enough.

803
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:09,360
He fumbled again now.

804
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:12,360
All right, Bobby Scott is running the New Orleans attack.

805
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,360
And he hands the ball off to Alvin Maxson.

806
01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:17,360
Getting outside of the left over the 30, the 25, the 20, breaks the tackle,

807
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:21,360
goes to 15, runs all the way down to the 12 yard line.

808
01:41:21,360 --> 01:41:24,360
Alvin Maxson running through people.

809
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:26,360
Ships off, Beryl Blunt.

810
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:28,360
Finally, Mike Wagner got him.

811
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:34,360
He runs to Jack Ham, who gave him some help on the play, and Elsie Greenwood was over there.

812
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:36,360
18 yards run.

813
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:41,360
Alvin Maxson, the rookie from Southern Methodist University,

814
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:43,360
carrying the mail for the New Orleans Saints.

815
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:54,360
And Maxson came into this ballgame with 300 yards total on the season.

816
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:59,360
And now 11 carries for 63 to give to Maxson, again, nowhere to go this time.

817
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:04,360
I'll tell you what, a suffering defender slowed him down.

818
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:08,360
Elsie Greenwood, and then Green grabbed him.

819
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:13,360
Elsie is the man who put the initial hit on him.

820
01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:17,360
Give him two yards as he struggled around in the pileup at second down the knee.

821
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:22,360
This Maxson is a chunky rookie out of SMU 511-205.

822
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:27,360
Jack Nolte, very impressed with him on film, says he runs with a lot of power.

823
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:30,360
Bob Newland lines up out to the right as a flanker.

824
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:33,360
Joel Parker splits to the nearside.

825
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:36,360
And the handoff is given to Jess Phillips running to the right.

826
01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:39,360
And he's in trouble at the 10 yard line.

827
01:42:39,360 --> 01:42:43,360
Jack Ham got the first lick at him.

828
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:50,360
Joe Green helped him up off the floor of the stadium at the 10 yard line.

829
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:56,360
So it's going to be a gain of about a yard, third down and seven for the New Orleans Saints.

830
01:42:56,360 --> 01:43:03,360
And they bring the little guy, Howard Stevens, onto the field.

831
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:06,360
5'5", 165 pounds.

832
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:10,360
They're one. They're one.

833
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:13,360
If it's a high one, I can call him one.

834
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:15,360
Split in left, flanker right.

835
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,360
Running back set wide.

836
01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:20,360
There's Bobby Scott back to throw. Lobs it into the end of the field.

837
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:24,360
Too long. And it's taken no, it's blunt right up against the wall.

838
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:27,360
Plus, made the interception out of bounds. Incomplete pass.

839
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,360
Joel Parker, the intended receiver, overthrown.

840
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:34,360
And that's a blunt right up against the fence. I shouldn't say the wall.

841
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:38,360
Face first into that fence. He really hit that thing. I hope he's not hurt.

842
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:43,360
Boy, I'll tell you something, the run that time, 5'5", Howard Stevens,

843
01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:46,360
you should have seen him try to block white, white.

844
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:51,360
He was back there for pass protection, and he sort of waved on quite a little

845
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:56,360
and then ran for his right.

846
01:43:56,360 --> 01:44:00,360
Fourth down, seven at the 10-yard line.

847
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:02,360
New Orleans going for it.

848
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:06,360
Brailing 21 to nothing. Got his back, firing to the end zone, fireside.

849
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:10,360
He hits his man right at the goal line. Joel Parker has it down.

850
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:23,360
He's going to go into a crowd of people. Wow. J.T. Thomas was right there.

851
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:29,360
It was Paul Field. The tight end, not Joel Parker.

852
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:36,360
Right on the goal line, Paul Field, the rookie from Michigan.

853
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:40,360
That was the first touchdown of the evening for New Orleans,

854
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:45,360
and Field explored his second touchdown of the year.

855
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:50,360
And the point after try is up there. Bill McClard hits it.

856
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:54,360
We have a 21-7 ball game with the Steelers in the lead.

857
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:59,360
The Steelers football continues after this brief timeout.

858
01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:03,360
It is called out, but there are plenty of 50-yard line seats at Buddies in Market Square,

859
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:08,360
the only place on time for a 50-yard line seat to watch the Pitt-Penn State game

860
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:12,360
on Buddies' ad-bent video beam night-size television from Opus One.

861
01:45:12,360 --> 01:45:17,360
And after the game, joining the fun with the good-time close horse, Coach Joe Avizzano.

862
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:22,360
Remember, two weekdays, Buddies is a pleasant place to lunch and enjoy our idation.

863
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:26,360
Buddies, the only place to be after every game. Or for lunch.

864
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:29,360
Buddies in Market Square.

865
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:34,360
Okay, the Saints have made it to the scoreboard. They now trail the Steelers 21-7.

866
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:40,360
Just before they got that ball on a Franco Harris fumble and proceeded to go in for a score,

867
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:44,360
I was about to say that while I'm not saying the game was rocked up,

868
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:50,360
it so happens that when the Saints scored 20 points last weekend through uptip with Los Angeles Rams,

869
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:55,360
it was the first time they had scored 20 points since 1970.

870
01:45:55,360 --> 01:46:01,360
And with the Steelers leading 21-0, well, you could almost think the game was rocked up,

871
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:04,360
because that's what kind of offense the Saints have had.

872
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:08,360
But here they come back with the score after the Franco Harris fumble,

873
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:12,360
which was at the Steeler 32-yard line.

874
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:17,360
They connected on a 10-yard pass to Paul Steel, and now the Saints are ready to kick off.

875
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:18,360
Jack?

876
01:46:18,360 --> 01:46:23,360
Okay, we've got Steve Davidson, no blunt deep, and the Saints kick it very high,

877
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:29,360
and on short, taken by Blum on the run at the 20 to the 25 to 30, and he runs into the fumble.

878
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:36,360
At the 30, Steve goes down at the 33-yard line, and Don Coleman, first man to grab him.

879
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:40,360
And the ball is out around the 33-yard line. Let's see where they uncover.

880
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:43,360
We're about three miles away from that field.

881
01:46:43,360 --> 01:46:47,360
That's the 33-yard line.

882
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:54,360
71,907 here tonight. Beautiful game.

883
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:05,360
So for the weekend, they put over 140,000 in here to keep the game.

884
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:09,360
There's a handoff of Steve Davis. Good block for him, and then it closes down,

885
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:15,360
and he comes down at the 35-yard line, running out to the left. Billy Newton made the tackle.

886
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:19,360
Got a good initial block, and then the blocking falls.

887
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,360
Picks up two yards, second down eight.

888
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:24,360
I'm sorry, Jack, but I don't buy that attendance figure.

889
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:30,360
71,907 means 10,000 empty seats, and if you can find 10,000 empty seats in here,

890
01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:35,360
I don't know. It looks like almost a full house to me.

891
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:39,360
Maybe they've got a few freebies in here tonight.

892
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,360
What base?

893
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:45,360
But in the squad, it's in the ball game as a wide receiver for the Steelers.

894
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:49,360
Frank Lewis is the other one, shifting the running back.

895
01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:53,360
Brad Shaw is back deep to throw. Brad Shaw runs forward with a football pick.

896
01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:59,360
The Blackers over to 40, the 45, and drop down around the 47-yard line.

897
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:04,360
Jerry Bradshaw finally stopped by Joe Fetter Spiele. He'll have a first down.

898
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:09,360
He has been a tremendous weapon with his timely running tonight.

899
01:48:09,360 --> 01:48:18,360
Follard and Fetter Spiele on the tackle, and the ball is being spotted around the 47-yard line.

900
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:23,360
John Stawers is on as a wide receiver. Two rookies, John and Stawers for the Steelers.

901
01:48:23,360 --> 01:48:31,360
Hey, Jack, I think Brad Shaw has about 93 yards rushing. He might have a hundred yard game, won't he?

902
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,360
We have him unofficially over here, 8 for 81.

903
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:37,360
He had 80 in the first half officially.

904
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:41,360
Here is a handoff now to Steve Davis, hitting straight ahead over the left side.

905
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:47,360
He's up over the 50 and down to the 49-yard line.

906
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:52,360
Bob Pollard makes the tackle on him, and he's crossed the 50-yard line.

907
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:59,360
A gain of around 4 1⁄2 yards, second down, and a short six.

908
01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:04,360
Brad Shaw had 80, 6 for 80 in the first half, so we'll correct him.

909
01:49:04,360 --> 01:49:07,360
I think he had a 13-yard gain on that play.

910
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:09,360
That brings him up to about 93 yards.

911
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:11,360
Go for a hybrid, Terry.

912
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:18,360
Second down, short six. Just across the 50 in the Walling's territory, Steelers leading 21 to 7.

913
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:26,360
Brad Shaw takes a handoff, pitch off for left side to Franco Harris, and Harris cuts down to the 45 and on to the 44.

914
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:34,360
He's short of a third down. Brad Shaw running the rollout option to the left side with Harris trailing.

915
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:37,360
Wayne Coleman makes the stop.

916
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,360
We've seen just about everything in this ballgame tonight.

917
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:44,360
You got the play all wrong. That was Billy Daniels pitching out to Tony Dorsett.

918
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:47,360
That's exactly what it looked like.

919
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:52,360
The fake to Davis, the pitch-outs on the option play, that's to Franco.

920
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:56,360
Larry Brown enters the ballgame, replacing Lynn Swan.

921
01:49:56,360 --> 01:50:01,360
We have two tight ends in there, John McMakin and Larry Brown on third and one.

922
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:04,360
21-7, 329 to play in the third quarter.

923
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:07,360
Steelers leading ends tight, flanker right.

924
01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:09,360
Running back to Harrison Davis.

925
01:50:09,360 --> 01:50:17,360
Brad Shaw giving to Franco, and he gets off the left side, gallops to the 40, breaks the tackle to the 35, and out of bounds at the 31-yard line.

926
01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:21,360
Finally cased off by Johnny Fuller, the strong safety.

927
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:26,360
And he has a first down, and the Steelers running game is moving the football.

928
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:33,360
Down to the 31-yard line, a 13-yard game for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

929
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:36,360
And Bob Davis and Harris running well tonight.

930
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:40,360
Rocky Blyer is down there in reserve.

931
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:50,360
But any time you go into a game, you'll miss the services of Frankie Fuqua and Princeton Pearson who are hospitalized back in Pittsburgh, and we do hope that they're out of there very soon.

932
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:52,360
And now the second one is back into the ballgame.

933
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,360
Franco is 11 for 69 yards tonight.

934
01:50:55,360 --> 01:51:04,360
Here is Brad Shaw, a quick handoff inside and taking the ball, coming out side to the right is Franco, 20-15, and out of bounds at the 11-yard line.

935
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:06,360
Johnny Fuller chased him out.

936
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:10,360
That appeared to be a hit straight ahead.

937
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:16,360
And suddenly Franco dared to be outside, turned on his speed, and with his great running ability,

938
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:22,360
he's outside the sideline and finally escapes out at the 11- or 20-yard game, and now New Orleans has fired this ballclub.

939
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:27,360
Leading 21-0, there might have been just a notion that it was wrapped up.

940
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:34,360
New Orleans comes down to score from 32 yards out, and now the Steelers come firing back, and they're doing it all well.

941
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:39,360
Brad Shaw lines them up at the 11-yard line.

942
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:42,360
The running backs are set wide.

943
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:48,360
And again it is Franco hitting off the right side and diving down to the 7-yard line, maybe to 6.

944
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:56,360
Billy Newsom on the stop, and Joe Fettersfield comes out of the play, and they're going to spot the football at the 7-yard line.

945
01:51:56,360 --> 01:52:02,360
Give Franco 4 yards from the 11 down to the 7. It's going to be second down and 6.

946
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:04,360
Franco is just running beautifully.

947
01:52:04,360 --> 01:52:07,360
Two plays ago he gained 19 yards on a play that was all freelance.

948
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:14,360
Headed up the middle, he took off for the outside, it was all freelance work. Beautiful. He has great lateral vision.

949
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:18,360
13 carries, 93 yards.

950
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:28,360
Good job to Franco, running to the left. He doesn't need it. He gallops over, a man goes inside the 5, and he's down to the 3, maybe the 2, and Jim Merlo finally making the tackle on him.

951
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,360
Tom Myers upon the play.

952
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:39,360
There at that time appeared to have no chance to get through as they closed in on him, and he carried it under his own power. He's down to around the 2-yard line.

953
01:52:39,360 --> 01:52:46,360
And he may be held down on the turf over there, and he may be hurt. Getting up slowly. He's okay I think.

954
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:52,360
And they're going to measure at the 2-yard line to see whether or not Franco has the 6th up the first down.

955
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:56,360
In the meantime, goal line defense time for New Orleans.

956
01:52:56,360 --> 01:53:02,360
And the Saints bring on Don Coleman. They bring on Steve Bumgardner.

957
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:11,360
They come out on the field with Andy Dorff, and they bring out the smaller men and go to the bigger line up defensively at the goal line.

958
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:18,360
They have measured, and Pittsburgh is short of a first down, but in truth, going to be 3rd down.

959
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:27,360
Pinkies to go for a first down. And a little less than 2 yards to go for a touchdown.

960
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:32,360
Pittsburgh leading 21-7 with 2 minutes and 15 seconds to play in the 3rd quarter.

961
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:36,360
Lynn Swan is out, and Larry Brown and John McMacon, the two tight ends are there.

962
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:41,360
John Stalworth is the wide receiver. Stalworth flanks out to the near side.

963
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:44,360
Stalworth out of Alabama A&M.

964
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:50,360
All right, the Steelers lined up at the 2-yard line, just inside the 2.

965
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:54,360
And Brad Stogg is at the Franco, and it's a slow-wow on the right side.

966
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:57,360
Good top and has the first down at the 1.

967
01:53:57,360 --> 01:54:04,360
It's solid resistance. Ran into Jim Merlo, flipped off to the right side, and was covered as he went down at the 1-yard line.

968
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:09,360
And the ball will be just inside the 1.

969
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:13,360
Franco's worrying me to death, getting up slowly.

970
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:16,360
Given that the old Jim Brown treatment is coming up off the ground.

971
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:22,360
Well, what he's doing is having reclining conversations with the officials where to spot the ball.

972
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:26,360
While he's talking, he figures he doesn't have to be on his feet, because that's taxi.

973
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:28,360
He talks well in a reclining position.

974
01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:32,360
Less than a yard to go, first down and goal for the Steelers.

975
01:54:32,360 --> 01:54:34,360
Moving at the goal line to our right.

976
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:39,360
And here's Franco rolling out to the left and firing into the end zone for a touchdown.

977
01:54:39,360 --> 01:54:43,360
And hitting Larry Brown.

978
01:54:43,360 --> 01:54:46,360
The same defense, first down for the middle.

979
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:49,360
Just exactly the one play that you wouldn't expect to see.

980
01:54:49,360 --> 01:54:53,360
A roll out to Brad Stogg's opposite side.

981
01:54:53,360 --> 01:55:00,360
The right-hander turned and flipped the ball to Larry Brown in the far corner of the end zone, wide open for the touchdown of beauty.

982
01:55:00,360 --> 01:55:04,360
It was a pass good for 18 inches.

983
01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:07,360
That's what it was.

984
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:14,360
Here is the extra point try by Roy Jarella.

985
01:55:14,360 --> 01:55:17,360
Half a ten. The ball is down. Jarella kicks it.

986
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:19,360
It is good.

987
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:23,360
Pittsburgh, 28th in the Orleans, St. Seventh.

988
01:55:23,360 --> 01:55:30,360
Jarella had a gathering of civilians and players around him down on Canal Street last night right outside the hotel.

989
01:55:30,360 --> 01:55:34,360
Just standing and talking. It was still warm. That was before the rain came.

990
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:40,360
I stopped to talk to him and said, you look like you might be out here peddling roasted chestnuts or something.

991
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:42,360
There was a crowd gathered around him.

992
01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:53,360
Very interesting atmosphere here in the Orleans where within an area of just a few blocks you can see several thousand people in all the different sizes, shapes, and all sorts of attire.

993
01:55:53,360 --> 01:55:57,360
And I think you'll have to admit it's a lot of people to come here.

994
01:55:57,360 --> 01:56:03,360
Yes indeed and Roy Jarella is very business oriented and for all you know he might have been peddling roasted chestnuts.

995
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:06,360
He might have been selling somebody the land that the Marriott fans want.

996
01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:09,360
That drive went 67 yards in ten plays.

997
01:56:09,360 --> 01:56:16,360
Beautifully executed touchdown drive for the Steelers scoring on the pass to Larry Brown.

998
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:20,360
And here's Jarella kicking off high and long.

999
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:21,360
Five yards deep in the end zone.

1000
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:26,360
Bobble around by Jess Phillips and finally chased down out of bounds.

1001
01:56:26,360 --> 01:56:31,360
They will put it in play at the 20 yard line on the automatic touchback.

1002
01:56:31,360 --> 01:56:37,360
A minute and three seconds remaining in the third quarter in this Monday night football show at the Orleans.

1003
01:56:37,360 --> 01:56:40,360
The Pittsburgh Steelers leading 28 to 7.

1004
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:47,360
Needing a victory tonight to keep pace with the Cincinnati Bengals who are in pursuit with their victory yesterday moved within a game of the Steelers.

1005
01:56:47,360 --> 01:56:52,360
And a win tonight here in the Orleans where the things have been particularly tough on their home turf.

1006
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:55,360
Just to be a tremendous accomplishment coming into the home stretch of the season.

1007
01:56:55,360 --> 01:56:58,360
Yeah, I think Brad Todd's won the quarterback job.

1008
01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:02,360
Let's say on the basis of tonight's performance he has to have won something.

1009
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:03,360
Beautiful.

1010
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:04,360
Here they are.

1011
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:07,360
The pass fired to the right flat area to the 20 yard line.

1012
01:57:07,360 --> 01:57:09,360
Alvin Maxson folds it in.

1013
01:57:09,360 --> 01:57:11,360
He's immediately belted.

1014
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:12,360
Very short gainer.

1015
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:14,360
Jack Ham makes the stop.

1016
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:19,360
One yard gain on a long pass out to the right.

1017
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:21,360
Nice show to Orleans.

1018
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:25,360
Seven for 20 passing and three interceptions by the Steelers.

1019
01:57:25,360 --> 01:57:27,360
Let's see how that matches up.

1020
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:31,360
Manning two for 10 and Scott five for 10.

1021
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:35,360
So that is seven for 20 with three interceptions.

1022
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:37,360
All right, Bobby Scott is the quarterback.

1023
01:57:37,360 --> 01:57:38,360
Drops back and fires.

1024
01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:40,360
They don't feel too high.

1025
01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:47,360
His man up in the 40 with Joe Parker and the defensive man back there, J.P. Thomas, could not get near the football.

1026
01:57:47,360 --> 01:57:49,360
Jack Ham dropping back was not there.

1027
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:50,360
It was overthrown.

1028
01:57:50,360 --> 01:57:52,360
An incomplete pass.

1029
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:57,360
Going to be third down and nine yards to go with 25 seconds remaining in the quarter.

1030
01:57:57,360 --> 01:58:04,360
And when the Steelers get the ball back, I hope Franco will continue to roll because he's going for his sixth consecutive 100 yard game.

1031
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:10,360
And he'll be average a little less than 100 per game from here on to have a thousand yard season.

1032
01:58:10,360 --> 01:58:13,360
15 carries tonight for 99 yards.

1033
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:14,360
He'll make it.

1034
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:16,360
He'll make it.

1035
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:18,360
And Scott drops back.

1036
01:58:18,360 --> 01:58:21,360
Scott throws complete to the 35 yard line.

1037
01:58:21,360 --> 01:58:22,360
Paul Field at the tight end.

1038
01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:25,360
Mike Degray forward to the 37.

1039
01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:27,360
Paul Field, the receiver.

1040
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:28,360
The Steelers converge.

1041
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:29,360
Mike Wagner is there.

1042
01:58:29,360 --> 01:58:32,360
Glenn Edwards is there.

1043
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:35,360
At the 37 yard line, the New Orleans Saints to pick up a first down.

1044
01:58:35,360 --> 01:58:41,360
And Bobby Scott has completed his eighth pass for the Saints tonight.

1045
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:44,360
The Guns Downs, the end of the day quarter at Tulane Stadium.

1046
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:49,360
The New Orleans and North Pittsburgh 28 to 27.

1047
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:51,360
Well, what's the situation?

1048
01:58:51,360 --> 01:58:55,360
The Saints now have a first down at their own 37 yard line.

1049
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:59,360
And so far in this ball game, Terry Bradshaw has flown for two touchdowns.

1050
01:58:59,360 --> 01:59:04,360
He scored one himself on an 18 yard dash up the middle.

1051
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:07,360
So he's having a pretty big night statistically.

1052
01:59:07,360 --> 01:59:11,360
Well, he's 6 for 15 throwing the ball, but he had a few drops.

1053
01:59:11,360 --> 01:59:14,360
He had a few drops in the first half.

1054
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:18,360
So he would be up there around the 500 mark with a little better help.

1055
01:59:18,360 --> 01:59:20,360
And we're not complaining.

1056
01:59:20,360 --> 01:59:22,360
There we go.

1057
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:24,360
All right, Scott, that quarterback.

1058
01:59:24,360 --> 01:59:26,360
Bobby Scott on the long camp.

1059
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:27,360
Drops back.

1060
01:59:27,360 --> 01:59:29,360
He throws to the near side.

1061
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:34,360
Almost intercepted at the 44 yard line on the pass in Jennifer Paul Field.

1062
01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:38,360
Jack Am came in front and broke it up and almost intercepted.

1063
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:41,360
And that is Bobby Scott's 13th pass of the night.

1064
01:59:41,360 --> 01:59:46,360
And Gary Gerson points out that he's played very little this season.

1065
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:49,360
He's not performed in the last four ball games as well.

1066
01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:55,360
And looking at the stats, he has thrown only 25 passes over the course of the season.

1067
01:59:55,360 --> 01:59:58,360
And tonight he has flown 13 already.

1068
01:59:58,360 --> 02:00:07,360
So he is seeing the maximum amount of work that he has experienced in a single game during the course of the season.

1069
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:10,360
Draw handoff, ball carried by Alvin Maxson.

1070
02:00:10,360 --> 02:00:11,360
And Maxson is neos.

1071
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:13,360
Short of the line of scrimmage.

1072
02:00:13,360 --> 02:00:17,360
So on the draw, Maxson comes forward.

1073
02:00:17,360 --> 02:00:18,360
Does not make the line of scrimmage.

1074
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:20,360
He's in three for now.

1075
02:00:20,360 --> 02:00:22,360
And Glenn Edwards puts a stopper on him.

1076
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:25,360
Short of the 35 by about a foot.

1077
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:27,360
It's going to be third down and 12.

1078
02:00:27,360 --> 02:00:35,360
And once again, I think it's important to note that New Orleans has gone away with a razzle dazzle here in the second half thus far.

1079
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:38,360
They've stayed pretty much with a bread-and-butter offense.

1080
02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:39,360
Straight throw offense.

1081
02:00:39,360 --> 02:00:41,360
Wide step this time.

1082
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:43,360
And Bobby Scott will throw.

1083
02:00:43,360 --> 02:00:44,360
Firing downfield.

1084
02:00:44,360 --> 02:00:47,360
And it's almost interception juggles.

1085
02:00:47,360 --> 02:00:49,360
Three, four men may have touched it.

1086
02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:51,360
Now let me see if I got this one straight.

1087
02:00:51,360 --> 02:00:55,360
And my recollection is right, it came off the chest of J.T. Thomas.

1088
02:00:55,360 --> 02:00:56,360
Thomas?

1089
02:00:56,360 --> 02:00:59,360
Thomas was there and it hit his chest and a boomerang around.

1090
02:00:59,360 --> 02:01:04,360
And it was touched by Jack Lambert and then to that half.

1091
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:05,360
All three of them.

1092
02:01:05,360 --> 02:01:07,360
And it was Thomas the Lambert to half.

1093
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:09,360
And none of them could hold on to it.

1094
02:01:09,360 --> 02:01:13,360
And I tell you, Dwight, Dwight creamed a quarterback when he let that ball go.

1095
02:01:13,360 --> 02:01:16,360
Ooh, did he cream him.

1096
02:01:16,360 --> 02:01:19,360
Confirmation.

1097
02:01:19,360 --> 02:01:21,360
This will carry left to right.

1098
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:24,360
And Tom Blanchard is the kicker.

1099
02:01:24,360 --> 02:01:26,360
And we go deep with Edwards and Kwan.

1100
02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:28,360
Blanchard gets it away.

1101
02:01:28,360 --> 02:01:30,360
Low trajectory and overhand.

1102
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:31,360
And Edwards wants it.

1103
02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:32,360
That is all 26.

1104
02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:33,360
Running to the right.

1105
02:01:33,360 --> 02:01:34,360
Kwan letting the block.

1106
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:35,360
Goes to the sideline.

1107
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:36,360
Cuts the field up at the 35.

1108
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:37,360
Leaps.

1109
02:01:37,360 --> 02:01:38,360
Goes to the 40.

1110
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:40,360
And a 44 yard line.

1111
02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:42,360
Felt the marker down back downfield.

1112
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:44,360
Then Edwards returning.

1113
02:01:44,360 --> 02:01:47,360
The tackle made by Bob Wicks on the par side.

1114
02:01:47,360 --> 02:01:49,360
Saw a little speed on that one too.

1115
02:01:49,360 --> 02:01:53,360
And Kwan out in front trying to creamed somebody to get them out of the way.

1116
02:01:53,360 --> 02:01:58,360
They look for that lane over on the sideline where they've been successful early in the evening.

1117
02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:00,360
And now the officials are conferring.

1118
02:02:00,360 --> 02:02:05,360
To see what sort of grief they can bring to boom.

1119
02:02:05,360 --> 02:02:10,360
And now we're going to have a mighty consultation.

1120
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:14,360
It is a place called Powell flipping against the Steelers.

1121
02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:18,360
Almanade of Gunnison.

1122
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:21,360
Could somebody be flipping that par downfield ahead of the play?

1123
02:02:21,360 --> 02:02:22,360
But they weren't.

1124
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:28,360
Part of the Powell is an orange 43 yard line.

1125
02:02:28,360 --> 02:02:30,360
38 yard punt.

1126
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:32,360
A 13 yard return.

1127
02:02:32,360 --> 02:02:36,360
And now a 15 yard mark off from the spot of the tackle.

1128
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:38,360
Takes it from the 40 back to the 25.

1129
02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:42,360
Our ball club has now been penalized a total of 80 yards on the night.

1130
02:02:42,360 --> 02:02:45,360
Well the Steelers have been right up there.

1131
02:02:45,360 --> 02:02:46,360
They're leading the lead.

1132
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:48,360
They're close to it in penalties all season.

1133
02:02:48,360 --> 02:02:51,360
Do you suppose we have some nasty fellows on this team?

1134
02:02:51,360 --> 02:02:53,360
No they play with pride and enthusiasm.

1135
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:54,360
Sure.

1136
02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:57,360
And it's breaks down 10.

1137
02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:59,360
At the 25.

1138
02:02:59,360 --> 02:03:02,360
Redjaw has them lined up in the eye.

1139
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:06,360
Saints in a four man front with one man pulled up on the left.

1140
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:07,360
Very tight.

1141
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:09,360
And a handoff to Steve Davis on a slam through the middle.

1142
02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:11,360
Comes to the 29 yard line.

1143
02:03:11,360 --> 02:03:13,360
Just short of it.

1144
02:03:13,360 --> 02:03:19,360
Alex Price on the tackle for the New Orleans Saints.

1145
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:24,360
And it gets the ball back to the 28 yard line.

1146
02:03:24,360 --> 02:03:27,360
Three yard gain second down and he's up.

1147
02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:30,360
Hey Jack are you playing back with the Steelers tonight?

1148
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:31,360
Absolutely.

1149
02:03:31,360 --> 02:03:38,360
Chuck I need a ride from the stadium to the hotel and I'm not getting out of here until an hour after the game and how am I going to get a cap?

1150
02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:39,360
I thought maybe you could help.

1151
02:03:39,360 --> 02:03:41,360
Ah well.

1152
02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:45,360
I could hang around a flag one for you.

1153
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:46,360
There's a handoff.

1154
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:50,360
Franco Harris nails as he approaches the 30 yard line gets short yardy.

1155
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:55,360
Alex Price and Billy Newsome on the tackle.

1156
02:03:55,360 --> 02:04:07,360
You would say my second back or get me on your charter tomorrow I'd be most happy to stay over tonight to see that I can flag down transportation for you.

1157
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:10,360
Harris has just drawn over the 100 yard mark.

1158
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:14,360
16 carries 101 yards on the night.

1159
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:20,360
It is third down and five.

1160
02:04:20,360 --> 02:04:22,360
Brad Shaw taking a long count.

1161
02:04:22,360 --> 02:04:23,360
And he got the blip.

1162
02:04:23,360 --> 02:04:25,360
Brad Shaw's back there and runs out of the ball.

1163
02:04:25,360 --> 02:04:27,360
If he can get outside the flag is down.

1164
02:04:27,360 --> 02:04:28,360
He doesn't make it.

1165
02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:31,360
He is caught running to the right.

1166
02:04:31,360 --> 02:04:34,360
And the man who caught him was Joe Pettersfield.

1167
02:04:34,360 --> 02:04:36,360
Flag is going down.

1168
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:41,360
The Steelers are unhappy.

1169
02:04:41,360 --> 02:04:48,360
And I'm telling you Mike Webster the fiery rookie from Wisconsin is having a few things to say to the official.

1170
02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:56,360
The Steelers are upset with the rest of the number.

1171
02:04:56,360 --> 02:04:57,360
They're getting ready to mark something off.

1172
02:04:57,360 --> 02:04:59,360
Let's see what they're going to do.

1173
02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:01,360
I think the Saints are going to decline.

1174
02:05:01,360 --> 02:05:05,360
They will take the sack.

1175
02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:06,360
And we'll go into confirmation.

1176
02:05:06,360 --> 02:05:10,360
And here come the Saints with their triple receiver set up down field.

1177
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:19,360
Both Stevens, Spencer, and Panopoulos.

1178
02:05:19,360 --> 02:05:21,360
Okay, Walden standing back at his own 10 yard line.

1179
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:28,360
The deep man is the little guy, Howard Stevens out of Louisville.

1180
02:05:28,360 --> 02:05:30,360
Walden standing at his own 10, takes the stamp.

1181
02:05:30,360 --> 02:05:33,360
And the veteran from Georgia gets it away.

1182
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:34,360
And Stevens measures it.

1183
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:36,360
He hits a ball, it's flying down field.

1184
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:40,360
And the Racing Everett who's going to get there made to have a field lift.

1185
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,360
And it is picked up at the 20 yard line.

1186
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:45,360
The Steelers have the football.

1187
02:05:45,360 --> 02:05:48,360
The Steelers have the football at the 20 yard line.

1188
02:05:48,360 --> 02:05:51,360
Now tell me who hit that little guy outside?

1189
02:05:51,360 --> 02:05:55,360
Reggie Garrett, I do believe, and John McMaken recovered the fumble.

1190
02:05:55,360 --> 02:05:59,360
Garrett hit him almost the instant the ball landed in his mitts.

1191
02:05:59,360 --> 02:06:01,360
Oh, he gave him a whack.

1192
02:06:01,360 --> 02:06:03,360
And Reggie is a star of the special team.

1193
02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:05,360
No question about it.

1194
02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:10,360
The Steelers take over at the New Orleans 20 yard line.

1195
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:12,360
Steve Bungard put the stop on McMaken.

1196
02:06:12,360 --> 02:06:14,360
It didn't matter because the ball comes back.

1197
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:15,360
You cannot advance it.

1198
02:06:15,360 --> 02:06:20,360
So it comes back to where he picked up possession at the 20 yard line.

1199
02:06:20,360 --> 02:06:21,360
And what a lick.

1200
02:06:21,360 --> 02:06:27,360
Now I think that little fellow is going to consider the fair catch in the future.

1201
02:06:27,360 --> 02:06:29,360
Oh, wow. That was a beauty.

1202
02:06:29,360 --> 02:06:31,360
Was that Stevens back there on that play jack?

1203
02:06:31,360 --> 02:06:32,360
That was Stevens.

1204
02:06:32,360 --> 02:06:35,360
He got free.

1205
02:06:35,360 --> 02:06:38,360
And off, let's drive Franco to 15, to 10.

1206
02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:42,360
Carries the man with him down almost to the six yard line.

1207
02:06:42,360 --> 02:06:44,360
Derwin Moore, hanging on for dear life.

1208
02:06:44,360 --> 02:06:46,360
And big Franco just scared him along.

1209
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:48,360
Let's see what he's spot the ball.

1210
02:06:48,360 --> 02:06:52,360
He's taken in at the seven yard line, a first down for the Steelers.

1211
02:06:52,360 --> 02:06:55,360
No gain of 13 yards on the play for Franco.

1212
02:06:55,360 --> 02:07:00,360
His total is up to 114 on the night.

1213
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:05,360
The ball is at the seven yard line, the clock turning with 11.55 to go in tonight's game.

1214
02:07:05,360 --> 02:07:08,360
And the Steelers leading 28 to 7.

1215
02:07:08,360 --> 02:07:13,360
Lighting up in the eye for Mason with Steve Davis at the top of the eye.

1216
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:15,360
Inside back is Franco Harris.

1217
02:07:15,360 --> 02:07:18,360
They shift Harris to the right, Davis to the left.

1218
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:20,360
Kerry Bradshaw goes back to throw.

1219
02:07:20,360 --> 02:07:22,360
Bradshaw out into the right flat area.

1220
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:26,360
It's in place with the Franco, puts his head down and goes to the one yard line.

1221
02:07:26,360 --> 02:07:29,360
Franco just drifting out of the backfield.

1222
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:32,360
Got a penalty marker down? We do.

1223
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:35,360
Now what?

1224
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:42,360
Tackle made by strong safety Johnny Fuller after Franco is going down to the one yard line.

1225
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:46,360
Calling against the Steelers.

1226
02:07:46,360 --> 02:07:49,360
Well, down on the field you see Webster is going out of his head.

1227
02:07:49,360 --> 02:07:52,360
Webster throws his hands up in the air.

1228
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:54,360
He is beside himself.

1229
02:07:54,360 --> 02:07:56,360
He's a very religious fellow, Mike Webster.

1230
02:07:56,360 --> 02:08:00,360
He leads the Bible faithfully, you know, for pleasure reading as well.

1231
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:04,360
He's just a very articulate young fellow too.

1232
02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:09,360
Right now, however, he's mad and he would like to say some nasty things to the officials.

1233
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:13,360
But oh well, it hits the ball back to the 17 yard line.

1234
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:16,360
So it's time for Kerry Bradshaw to run up the middle for a touch time.

1235
02:08:16,360 --> 02:08:26,360
The fellows in the Bible get that appreciating every now and then.

1236
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:30,360
All right, Gunstall is a loose one of the wide receivers.

1237
02:08:30,360 --> 02:08:33,360
Harris and Davis with the running back.

1238
02:08:33,360 --> 02:08:36,360
Ten yard mark off and the handoff.

1239
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:40,360
Redhead air is a fumble and New Orleans has picked up the football.

1240
02:08:40,360 --> 02:08:43,360
Franco carrying it.

1241
02:08:43,360 --> 02:08:47,360
On the play by Bob Pollard, Raiden Baldwin picks it up.

1242
02:08:47,360 --> 02:08:52,360
James Savage and David Bess to football.

1243
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:56,360
Back out to the 27 yard line.

1244
02:08:56,360 --> 02:09:02,360
And we're going to be back after this pause on the Steelers football.

1245
02:09:02,360 --> 02:09:04,360
Well, we're ready for football again.

1246
02:09:04,360 --> 02:09:08,360
James first these in at their own 27.

1247
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:10,360
Here's the pass.

1248
02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:14,360
Run out of the arms.

1249
02:09:14,360 --> 02:09:16,360
Bobby Scott had it on the nose.

1250
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:20,360
Last week he married into Cleveland for you, the last fight he had in the air.

1251
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:23,360
Tonight we have a rather chunky fellow.

1252
02:09:23,360 --> 02:09:24,360
He's fat.

1253
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:25,360
He's a little fat.

1254
02:09:25,360 --> 02:09:32,360
He's been running out of the field perceived by about three police and some other guy who would apparently be at the security force.

1255
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:38,360
And he took them about 60 yards, came across the near side, collapsed on the track and they proceeded to get him down

1256
02:09:38,360 --> 02:09:43,360
and Michael his wrist behind his back and lead him out of the clouds with boys.

1257
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:46,360
He'll become a local legend.

1258
02:09:46,360 --> 02:09:49,360
Bobby Scott calling the signals.

1259
02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:51,360
Draw handoff given to the little guy.

1260
02:09:51,360 --> 02:09:53,360
Howard Stevens is going to the left side.

1261
02:09:53,360 --> 02:09:56,360
And now we've got a little fight coming up.

1262
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:59,360
Mike Webster and Paul Field.

1263
02:09:59,360 --> 02:10:02,360
Little exchange with this because.

1264
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:09,360
All going to be spotted at the 32 yard line.

1265
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:11,360
And.

1266
02:10:11,360 --> 02:10:13,360
That'll be third down six yards to go.

1267
02:10:13,360 --> 02:10:15,360
Statistics.

1268
02:10:15,360 --> 02:10:18,360
It's a little disturbing that last fumble by Frank.

1269
02:10:18,360 --> 02:10:24,360
I was just seven for the year and six times the other team has recovered the football.

1270
02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:26,360
Six out of seven.

1271
02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:29,360
They're down six yards to go.

1272
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:33,360
Bobby Scott directs the New Orleans attack.

1273
02:10:33,360 --> 02:10:34,360
Very sharp.

1274
02:10:34,360 --> 02:10:38,360
Going sharply and hits his target for forty three.

1275
02:10:38,360 --> 02:10:41,360
Joe Parker fights his way over the forty five fumbles the football.

1276
02:10:41,360 --> 02:10:43,360
A scramble for it.

1277
02:10:43,360 --> 02:10:44,360
He was down during the day.

1278
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:50,360
Cabinets of forty seven yard line.

1279
02:10:50,360 --> 02:10:53,360
Joe Parker, the receiver, finally recovered the football.

1280
02:10:53,360 --> 02:10:55,360
Mel Blunt.

1281
02:10:55,360 --> 02:11:00,360
The ball after he made the tackle on Parker, the rookie from Florida.

1282
02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:03,360
They have a completed pass to the first down in the territory.

1283
02:11:03,360 --> 02:11:05,360
Talk about a perfect line.

1284
02:11:05,360 --> 02:11:12,360
Parker was being rattled by a dealer defender and yet he dropped the ball and it bounced right back to him.

1285
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:15,360
It had to be a perfect time for him to get that ball back.

1286
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:18,360
He was still in a barrage.

1287
02:11:18,360 --> 02:11:20,360
Twenty one yard advance to the football.

1288
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:23,360
The state of the dealers forty seven nine forty seven.

1289
02:11:23,360 --> 02:11:26,360
The clock is turning a slot right formation to the top of the ice.

1290
02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:27,360
Stevens with a ball.

1291
02:11:27,360 --> 02:11:30,360
He runs and he goes to the forty yard line.

1292
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:32,360
Mike Wagner upended him.

1293
02:11:32,360 --> 02:11:34,360
Joe Green covering on the plate.

1294
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:37,360
He advances the football about seven yards down to forty.

1295
02:11:37,360 --> 02:11:41,360
Going to be second down and three yards to go.

1296
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:43,360
Stinks very definitely.

1297
02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:51,360
Thus far in the second half have abandoned the arousal dazzle type of attack that they were attempting to execute with Archie Manning in there.

1298
02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:55,360
They've gone to a straight more conservative offense.

1299
02:11:55,360 --> 02:11:58,360
And here's a handoff and it's Alvin Maxson.

1300
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:01,360
He goes off the left side down near the thirty seven yard line.

1301
02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:04,360
He may have a first down.

1302
02:12:04,360 --> 02:12:09,360
Maxson takes the ball down close to a first down.

1303
02:12:09,360 --> 02:12:11,360
Joe Green is at the bottom of the play.

1304
02:12:11,360 --> 02:12:14,360
Steve Burnett and they'll take time to measure.

1305
02:12:14,360 --> 02:12:18,360
Next Sunday afternoon the Houston Oilers.

1306
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:21,360
Will be at Three River Stadium in the earlier ball game.

1307
02:12:21,360 --> 02:12:25,360
Pittsburgh defeated Houston thirteen to seven.

1308
02:12:25,360 --> 02:12:30,360
And the Oilers went on to win four in a row and they were.

1309
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:32,360
Big shadow on this past weekend.

1310
02:12:32,360 --> 02:12:37,360
Myron was talking about earlier about the Dallas Cowboys sending nothing.

1311
02:12:37,360 --> 02:12:40,360
And they come in next Sunday.

1312
02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:41,360
In an angry flame of mind.

1313
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:43,360
No question about it.

1314
02:12:43,360 --> 02:12:48,360
New Orleans has missed the first down.

1315
02:12:48,360 --> 02:12:52,360
First down still pending.

1316
02:12:52,360 --> 02:12:54,360
And the ball is at the Pittsburgh thirty seven.

1317
02:12:54,360 --> 02:13:03,360
A victory for the Steelers tonight with up the Pittsburgh record to eight, two and one.

1318
02:13:03,360 --> 02:13:07,360
Scott has thrown sixteen passes completed eight for eighty three yards and one touchdown.

1319
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:08,360
Now a very tight formation.

1320
02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:09,360
Two tight ends.

1321
02:13:09,360 --> 02:13:12,360
The flanker pulled close on the right side.

1322
02:13:12,360 --> 02:13:14,360
On third and one.

1323
02:13:14,360 --> 02:13:17,360
And Scott gives the ball to Alvin Maxson running out to the left.

1324
02:13:17,360 --> 02:13:18,360
Turns the corner.

1325
02:13:18,360 --> 02:13:25,360
Whips out of bounds at the thirty four yard line.

1326
02:13:25,360 --> 02:13:27,360
He has the first down.

1327
02:13:27,360 --> 02:13:28,360
Get over there by Mel Blunt.

1328
02:13:28,360 --> 02:13:30,360
The crowd is reacting with something Myron.

1329
02:13:30,360 --> 02:13:31,360
What are they saying?

1330
02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:32,360
Well, uh, Coen's Jack Lambert.

1331
02:13:32,360 --> 02:13:35,360
Maxson's plowed into Glenn Edwards on the sideline.

1332
02:13:35,360 --> 02:13:37,360
Out of bounds and knocked him flying.

1333
02:13:37,360 --> 02:13:41,360
And Jack Splats came up alongside Maxson.

1334
02:13:41,360 --> 02:13:44,360
And I suppose Ted Doran-Eaton, that wasn't necessary.

1335
02:13:44,360 --> 02:13:49,360
And if you don't behave yourself, I'm going to slap you.

1336
02:13:49,360 --> 02:13:55,360
But there was nothing really to get excited about.

1337
02:13:55,360 --> 02:13:57,360
The group's down ten.

1338
02:13:57,360 --> 02:14:00,360
New Orleans with the football. Eight thirty seven.

1339
02:14:00,360 --> 02:14:02,360
Here's Bobby Scott back to throw.

1340
02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:03,360
Scott firing down the middle.

1341
02:14:03,360 --> 02:14:04,360
Almost intercepted.

1342
02:14:04,360 --> 02:14:06,360
Lambert covers the play at the nineteen.

1343
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:08,360
The pass and ten at football field.

1344
02:14:08,360 --> 02:14:12,360
Now we got a fly down on the play.

1345
02:14:12,360 --> 02:14:13,360
First the foul.

1346
02:14:13,360 --> 02:14:14,360
Pittsburgh rubbing the passer.

1347
02:14:14,360 --> 02:14:15,360
Joe Green.

1348
02:14:15,360 --> 02:14:16,360
No, they get right.

1349
02:14:16,360 --> 02:14:19,360
White is upset.

1350
02:14:19,360 --> 02:14:23,360
White is upset.

1351
02:14:23,360 --> 02:14:27,360
We're either playing some particularly rough and strenuously.

1352
02:14:27,360 --> 02:14:32,360
Volatile football tonight or else we're getting jobs here.

1353
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:35,360
One or the other, I say.

1354
02:14:35,360 --> 02:14:37,360
Fifteen yard penalty.

1355
02:14:37,360 --> 02:14:39,360
Fall down to the nineteen yard line.

1356
02:14:39,360 --> 02:14:44,360
One hundred five yards total.

1357
02:14:44,360 --> 02:14:49,360
With the score twenty eight to seven, I can take as many of these penalties as they can take.

1358
02:14:49,360 --> 02:14:53,360
Well, I'm not going to get myself exercised over this situation.

1359
02:14:53,360 --> 02:14:55,360
And that man is much closer to the play than I am.

1360
02:14:55,360 --> 02:14:56,360
I'm practically in the next county.

1361
02:14:56,360 --> 02:15:04,360
I can see the Superdome better than I can see these ball players down in this field.

1362
02:15:04,360 --> 02:15:05,360
New Orleans ready to go.

1363
02:15:05,360 --> 02:15:08,360
First and ten at the Pittsburgh eighteen.

1364
02:15:08,360 --> 02:15:09,360
Scott Sakes drops back.

1365
02:15:09,360 --> 02:15:10,360
Scott looks.

1366
02:15:10,360 --> 02:15:13,360
He throws and it is broken up.

1367
02:15:13,360 --> 02:15:14,360
Down at the three yard line.

1368
02:15:14,360 --> 02:15:19,360
Glen Edwards broke up a pass and ten it for Joe Parker.

1369
02:15:19,360 --> 02:15:25,360
Very alert defensive play and it's going to be second down for the Saints.

1370
02:15:25,360 --> 02:15:34,360
And of all the various facilities to work out of in the nation, I happened to draw this one three times this year.

1371
02:15:34,360 --> 02:15:36,360
And by far the best night.

1372
02:15:36,360 --> 02:15:38,360
The other two were too hot, Marlin.

1373
02:15:38,360 --> 02:15:42,360
Well, you're going to be in a Superdome next year, Doc.

1374
02:15:42,360 --> 02:15:44,360
We may be back in this one before the year is over.

1375
02:15:44,360 --> 02:15:45,360
Yep.

1376
02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:46,360
There's a thing called the big one.

1377
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:48,360
The big one that could be the final tip.

1378
02:15:48,360 --> 02:15:50,360
Here's the handoff to the little guy outside of the left.

1379
02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:53,360
Stevens coming down over the fifteen to the ten.

1380
02:15:53,360 --> 02:15:56,360
And they finally get about a bounce at the ten yard line.

1381
02:15:56,360 --> 02:16:01,360
Five five one hundred sixty five pounds of dynamite.

1382
02:16:01,360 --> 02:16:02,360
Now what have they done?

1383
02:16:02,360 --> 02:16:04,360
Burned the flag again?

1384
02:16:04,360 --> 02:16:08,360
Crowd is cheering.

1385
02:16:08,360 --> 02:16:12,360
Glen Edwards and Jack Sam forced him out of bounds.

1386
02:16:12,360 --> 02:16:16,360
The ball is marked into the ten.

1387
02:16:16,360 --> 02:16:18,360
And it's sort of a burst down.

1388
02:16:18,360 --> 02:16:21,360
Third down and two yards to go.

1389
02:16:21,360 --> 02:16:25,360
And here come Lendget and John Beasley.

1390
02:16:25,360 --> 02:16:30,360
Out comes Joe Parker and Bob Newland.

1391
02:16:30,360 --> 02:16:33,360
In comes Rod McNeil.

1392
02:16:33,360 --> 02:16:38,360
Out comes Howard Stevens.

1393
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:43,360
And they line up tight and powerful on third and two.

1394
02:16:43,360 --> 02:16:45,360
Again for McNeil running to the left.

1395
02:16:45,360 --> 02:16:47,360
Gets up behind the line of Jimmy's.

1396
02:16:47,360 --> 02:16:48,360
Guides forward.

1397
02:16:48,360 --> 02:16:50,360
And the man that came through was Andy Russell.

1398
02:16:50,360 --> 02:16:55,360
Now Russell being jostled by one of the Saints.

1399
02:16:55,360 --> 02:17:02,360
And the Saint in this case was up there is Emmanuel Vanders.

1400
02:17:02,360 --> 02:17:05,360
And he's trying to agitate our stockbroker.

1401
02:17:05,360 --> 02:17:08,360
Yes, Emmanuel goes two hundred and sixty-three pounds.

1402
02:17:08,360 --> 02:17:11,360
And I don't know what his deep was, no pun intended.

1403
02:17:11,360 --> 02:17:16,360
Because Andy made a great play underneath him to trip up the ball carrier.

1404
02:17:16,360 --> 02:17:20,360
But Emmanuel reached out and took a poke at Andy.

1405
02:17:20,360 --> 02:17:22,360
Shame on you, Emmanuel.

1406
02:17:22,360 --> 02:17:26,360
That's all for the New Orleans Saints with the Saints at the eleven yard line.

1407
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:29,360
It is four down about two and a half yards to go.

1408
02:17:29,360 --> 02:17:34,360
Saints trailing 28 to seven with seven forty-three remaining on the clock.

1409
02:17:34,360 --> 02:17:38,360
And it's been an enjoyable night here at Tulane Stadium.

1410
02:17:38,360 --> 02:17:42,360
Out there to give attention to the Steelers, the training corps.

1411
02:17:42,360 --> 02:17:48,360
And Steelers football continues from New Orleans after this free timeout.

1412
02:17:48,360 --> 02:17:51,360
Seven minutes and forty-three seconds remaining in the ball game.

1413
02:17:51,360 --> 02:17:54,360
The Steelers leading 28 to seven.

1414
02:17:54,360 --> 02:17:58,360
But the Saints threatening, they're just outside the Steelers ten yard line.

1415
02:17:58,360 --> 02:18:02,360
A four-sign-and-two situation coming up.

1416
02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:07,360
And incidentally if the Steelers do make it to the playoffs,

1417
02:18:07,360 --> 02:18:09,360
and it looks like they very well may,

1418
02:18:09,360 --> 02:18:15,360
they will play the wild card game for the American Conference at home in the first playoff game.

1419
02:18:15,360 --> 02:18:17,360
Okay, let's get back to the action on the field.

1420
02:18:17,360 --> 02:18:22,360
Zach Oka the Saints on fourth, two and a half in Steelers territory.

1421
02:18:22,360 --> 02:18:25,360
The eleven yard line.

1422
02:18:25,360 --> 02:18:30,360
And the quarterback stumbles, rolling right, and throws his pass, and it is incomplete.

1423
02:18:30,360 --> 02:18:32,360
Into the arms of Howard Stevens.

1424
02:18:32,360 --> 02:18:35,360
And he was attacked defensively by Glenn Edwards.

1425
02:18:35,360 --> 02:18:38,360
Ball got away from him, incomplete, the Steelers will take over.

1426
02:18:38,360 --> 02:18:45,360
Bobby Scott recovered beautifully as he tripped and stumbled rolling out of there.

1427
02:18:45,360 --> 02:18:48,360
He is now eight for 18 for 83 yards.

1428
02:18:48,360 --> 02:18:50,360
The one touchdown.

1429
02:18:50,360 --> 02:18:55,360
Archie Manning went two for ten, so the Saints overall are ten for 28.

1430
02:18:55,360 --> 02:19:01,360
And they go a total of 91 yards passing.

1431
02:19:01,360 --> 02:19:04,360
The Steelers with a football at their own eleven.

1432
02:19:04,360 --> 02:19:06,360
You got Lindstrom on the right.

1433
02:19:06,360 --> 02:19:09,360
John Stalwart out to the left, the running back remains.

1434
02:19:09,360 --> 02:19:11,360
Frank O'Harris and Steve Davis.

1435
02:19:11,360 --> 02:19:14,360
Redjaw, but legs rolls right, they're out there waiting for him.

1436
02:19:14,360 --> 02:19:18,360
He puts his head down and belts a couple of guys up to the 19 yard line.

1437
02:19:18,360 --> 02:19:23,360
Redjaw, flipping on the rollout to the right side very quickly.

1438
02:19:23,360 --> 02:19:30,360
He advances the ball from the eleven up to the twenty, where they mark it a nine-yard gain on the play.

1439
02:19:30,360 --> 02:19:34,360
And Gary B. now has 102 yards on the night.

1440
02:19:34,360 --> 02:19:38,360
He's going over 100 yards rushing.

1441
02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:42,360
Here comes Rich Middleton in.

1442
02:19:42,360 --> 02:19:46,360
He's facing Jim Merlo of the Saints.

1443
02:19:46,360 --> 02:19:50,360
The Steelers out of the huddle, second down and one yard to go.

1444
02:19:50,360 --> 02:19:54,360
Shifting off the eye formation.

1445
02:19:54,360 --> 02:19:58,360
Redjaw gives it to Franco, cutting left and then heading forward.

1446
02:19:58,360 --> 02:20:02,360
And he should have the first down near the 22 yard line.

1447
02:20:02,360 --> 02:20:06,360
Swings to the left, heads forward, and Bob Pollard and Joe Fetterstiel bring him down.

1448
02:20:06,360 --> 02:20:10,360
And the ball is at the 22 and the Steelers have themselves the first down.

1449
02:20:10,360 --> 02:20:15,360
8-7 in favor of Pittsburgh, 6 minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the ball game tonight at New Orleans.

1450
02:20:15,360 --> 02:20:20,360
Next Sunday afternoon, we'll be on the edge, 12-40 from Three Rivers.

1451
02:20:20,360 --> 02:20:23,360
Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Oilers.

1452
02:20:23,360 --> 02:20:26,360
The return matchup between these two ball clubs.

1453
02:20:26,360 --> 02:20:32,360
The following week, we go up Boston Way to play the New England Patriots.

1454
02:20:32,360 --> 02:20:35,360
And then close out against Cincinnati at home.

1455
02:20:35,360 --> 02:20:42,360
And you know, Jack, I started to say about the playoffs, the Steelers will be at home for the first one if they're in the playoffs against the Wildcars.

1456
02:20:42,360 --> 02:20:45,360
Then if Oakland wins their game, the Steelers have to play in Oakland.

1457
02:20:45,360 --> 02:20:49,360
But if Oakland loses, the Steelers play their second game at home.

1458
02:20:49,360 --> 02:20:51,360
Is that clear?

1459
02:20:51,360 --> 02:20:55,360
Not quite, right? We had to go out there last year.

1460
02:20:55,360 --> 02:20:58,360
I thought we got both of them at home this year.

1461
02:20:58,360 --> 02:21:00,360
Nope, not necessarily.

1462
02:21:00,360 --> 02:21:01,360
Here's a handoff to Steve Davis.

1463
02:21:01,360 --> 02:21:08,360
Davis breaks the tackle, going over the right side and fights his way forward to the 25-yard line.

1464
02:21:08,360 --> 02:21:14,360
Jim Merlo on the stop and Johnny Fuller came up to help out.

1465
02:21:14,360 --> 02:21:23,360
Looks as though they had him a little bit short that time and he broke the tackle, a shoulder tackle, and came forward for a three-yard gain, second down and seventh.

1466
02:21:23,360 --> 02:21:28,360
Davis is 11 carries for 45 yards on the night.

1467
02:21:28,360 --> 02:21:33,360
The Steelers have the ball at their own 25-yard line, leading 28 to 7.

1468
02:21:33,360 --> 02:21:38,360
It's all over it. Wide left, Swan wide to the right.

1469
02:21:38,360 --> 02:21:40,360
The high formation.

1470
02:21:40,360 --> 02:21:44,360
And here's Bradshaw, quick flip into the right flat to Swan.

1471
02:21:44,360 --> 02:21:47,360
He comes over the 25 and he's up to the 30.

1472
02:21:47,360 --> 02:21:53,360
As his blocking farm is in front of him out there, Jim Clack was over to help out on the play.

1473
02:21:53,360 --> 02:21:55,360
Gordon Gevel was over there.

1474
02:21:55,360 --> 02:22:01,360
Jim Jackson broke through the stop and with the 31-yard line, third down and a yard to go.

1475
02:22:01,360 --> 02:22:10,360
Bradshaw tonight, going 16 passes, completing 7, having two interceptions.

1476
02:22:10,360 --> 02:22:18,360
Here comes Larry Brown onto the field very quickly and he becomes the second tight end.

1477
02:22:18,360 --> 02:22:21,360
That means they've been stalling wide to the right.

1478
02:22:21,360 --> 02:22:28,360
The tight end to the ball game and off Steve Davis finds the hole on the left side and comes up to the 35-yard line.

1479
02:22:28,360 --> 02:22:34,360
And the tackle executed for New Orleans by Tom Myers up for the secondary.

1480
02:22:34,360 --> 02:22:40,360
And he's got him around the ankle, holding down at the 35-yard line.

1481
02:22:40,360 --> 02:22:44,360
Blocked journey, 4 minutes and 34 seconds.

1482
02:22:44,360 --> 02:22:53,360
Many of the more than 70,000 people on hand have given up on the night and on the football game and decided to go home.

1483
02:22:53,360 --> 02:22:58,360
Around the area you can see them wrapping up their blankets.

1484
02:22:58,360 --> 02:23:00,360
It's going to be a chilly night for the Southerners.

1485
02:23:00,360 --> 02:23:02,360
You can't blame them, they're not accustomed to this.

1486
02:23:02,360 --> 02:23:05,360
Here's Bradshaw, rolling out to the right and he's going to be in trouble.

1487
02:23:05,360 --> 02:23:06,360
They've got him, three of them.

1488
02:23:06,360 --> 02:23:11,360
Man, they've got a hit on him at the 33-yard line.

1489
02:23:11,360 --> 02:23:20,360
Jim Mello is over there, Ernie Jackson, and also coming out of a speed bump, darker.

1490
02:23:20,360 --> 02:23:25,360
And Bradshaw got a pretty good lick that time, but he wasn't.

1491
02:23:25,360 --> 02:23:26,360
It's back him down at 11.

1492
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:27,360
One-yard loss.

1493
02:23:27,360 --> 02:23:31,360
I don't want to lose the yardage because we've got him over 100 yards on the night.

1494
02:23:31,360 --> 02:23:33,360
In fact, the 101 now.

1495
02:23:33,360 --> 02:23:38,360
Three minutes, 40 seconds, the clock turning.

1496
02:23:38,360 --> 02:23:43,360
I'd like to have you listening next Sunday afternoon for the Steelers and the Oilers.

1497
02:23:43,360 --> 02:23:44,360
You can't make it to the stadium.

1498
02:23:44,360 --> 02:23:49,360
If you are going to the stadium, take your radio off.

1499
02:23:49,360 --> 02:23:51,360
Back goes Bradshaw.

1500
02:23:51,360 --> 02:23:56,360
Hiring to the near side, and Schorers reaches for it at the New Orleans 43.

1501
02:23:56,360 --> 02:24:00,360
Cannot get the ball, covered by Vivian Lee.

1502
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:04,360
It's an incomplete pass.

1503
02:24:04,360 --> 02:24:12,360
I think that your afternoon at the stadium could be enlightened by some comments from Miracle Myron.

1504
02:24:12,360 --> 02:24:22,360
Our little guy is now considering the possibility of airing pro football and becoming Pittsburgh's answer.

1505
02:24:22,360 --> 02:24:25,360
The New Orleans little fella.

1506
02:24:25,360 --> 02:24:31,360
Howard Stevens, 5'5", 165, and Cote goes 5'5", 138.

1507
02:24:31,360 --> 02:24:35,360
Now, 3rd and 11.

1508
02:24:35,360 --> 02:24:37,360
Bradshaw shifts.

1509
02:24:37,360 --> 02:24:40,360
Franco a few steps to the left, and the New Orleans defense shifts.

1510
02:24:40,360 --> 02:24:42,360
And Bradshaw is back to throw there after him.

1511
02:24:42,360 --> 02:24:47,360
He gets the pass away, and it is wide at the intended receiver, up to 45-yard line.

1512
02:24:47,360 --> 02:24:51,360
That would be Johnny Schorers with Vivian Lee covering.

1513
02:24:51,360 --> 02:24:54,360
Incomplete pass.

1514
02:24:54,360 --> 02:24:55,360
4 down now.

1515
02:24:55,360 --> 02:24:56,360
11 yards to go.

1516
02:24:56,360 --> 02:24:58,360
Walton is on to do his thing.

1517
02:24:58,360 --> 02:25:03,360
3 minutes 17 seconds remaining in the ball game.

1518
02:25:03,360 --> 02:25:07,360
It's their 28th, New Orleans 7.

1519
02:25:07,360 --> 02:25:11,360
Bob Wicks is back deep, different alignment here.

1520
02:25:11,360 --> 02:25:16,360
Howard Stevens and Maury Spencer.

1521
02:25:16,360 --> 02:25:20,360
Spencer is in the middle, Wicks is to his left.

1522
02:25:20,360 --> 02:25:22,360
I mean, Stevens is in the middle.

1523
02:25:22,360 --> 02:25:24,360
Wicks to his left, and Spencer to the right.

1524
02:25:24,360 --> 02:25:30,360
Walton punches, and it's coming down for Stevens, and is down.

1525
02:25:30,360 --> 02:25:36,360
Right around the 30-yard line, and down under that, next quickly, was Donnie Schell.

1526
02:25:36,360 --> 02:25:44,360
Well, we have a break in the action down on the field, and we'll be right back.

1527
02:25:44,360 --> 02:25:48,360
Jack Fleming, along with Lou Kreck here at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

1528
02:25:48,360 --> 02:25:51,360
Myron Cope is going down to the dressing room.

1529
02:25:51,360 --> 02:25:54,360
Rudy, it's an opportunity to say something.

1530
02:25:54,360 --> 02:25:55,360
What were you trying to say a while ago?

1531
02:25:55,360 --> 02:25:59,360
I asked mine if it was 30 above or 30 below.

1532
02:25:59,360 --> 02:26:03,360
He got into a diatribe on you stealing his thunder there.

1533
02:26:03,360 --> 02:26:07,360
Now they're shifting, putting a wing back to the left in the slot,

1534
02:26:07,360 --> 02:26:14,360
and back nose Bobby Scott firing down field completely to the 50-yard line.

1535
02:26:14,360 --> 02:26:18,360
Bob Newland folds it in at the 50 and goes out of balance at the 48-yard line,

1536
02:26:18,360 --> 02:26:20,360
and they hit a big one.

1537
02:26:20,360 --> 02:26:24,360
Mike Wagner covering over on the play.

1538
02:26:24,360 --> 02:26:27,360
So the Saints pick up 23 yards.

1539
02:26:27,360 --> 02:26:33,360
Ball is at Pittsburgh 47-and-a-half-yard line where they finally mark it in.

1540
02:26:33,360 --> 02:26:41,360
The young fellow may have taken over the quarterbacking position for the Saints tonight.

1541
02:26:41,360 --> 02:26:45,360
Charlie Davis has replaced Joe Green.

1542
02:26:45,360 --> 02:26:48,360
So the big man from North Texas State gets a rest,

1543
02:26:48,360 --> 02:26:51,360
and a handoff is given to Howard Stevens.

1544
02:26:51,360 --> 02:26:54,360
Little running back, heads over to the right side, runs in the arms,

1545
02:26:54,360 --> 02:26:59,360
Mandy Russell and Jack Hamm, and down he goes at the 45-yard line,

1546
02:26:59,360 --> 02:27:04,360
gaining about 2-and-a-half yards.

1547
02:27:04,360 --> 02:27:07,360
That name Bobby Scott happens to be a mystery to you.

1548
02:27:07,360 --> 02:27:09,360
He's in his third year in the National Football League

1549
02:27:09,360 --> 02:27:17,360
and he came out of the University of Tennessee.

1550
02:27:17,360 --> 02:27:22,360
Larry Sippa, you may recall, quarterbacked the mainly rookie team

1551
02:27:22,360 --> 02:27:24,360
that played us in the preseason.

1552
02:27:24,360 --> 02:27:25,360
He's our number three quarterback.

1553
02:27:25,360 --> 02:27:29,360
Scott's back, firing to the nearside, off the fingertips of a falling Bob Newland

1554
02:27:29,360 --> 02:27:30,360
at Pittsburgh 28.

1555
02:27:30,360 --> 02:27:32,360
Fentanyl markers down.

1556
02:27:32,360 --> 02:27:36,360
Fentanyl is coming to the nearside, a 5-yard mark off in the first down.

1557
02:27:36,360 --> 02:27:38,360
Defense gets holding.

1558
02:27:38,360 --> 02:27:40,360
Takes it to the 40-yard line.

1559
02:27:40,360 --> 02:27:44,360
I think that's up to about 110 yards in penalties against our side.

1560
02:27:44,360 --> 02:27:53,360
So we've had quite an evening.

1561
02:27:53,360 --> 02:27:55,360
Ten penalties.

1562
02:27:55,360 --> 02:27:59,360
Throw the score, Pittsburgh 28, the officials 10, New Orleans 7.

1563
02:27:59,360 --> 02:28:02,360
You want to keep score that way.

1564
02:28:02,360 --> 02:28:06,360
Two minutes, 23 seconds remaining in the ballgame.

1565
02:28:06,360 --> 02:28:08,360
This one is chalked up in the wind column.

1566
02:28:08,360 --> 02:28:10,360
Scott fakes as he drops back.

1567
02:28:10,360 --> 02:28:13,360
Scott fires downfield, leaping prior to the 22-yard line

1568
02:28:13,360 --> 02:28:16,360
by Bob Newland, unsuccessful.

1569
02:28:16,360 --> 02:28:20,360
Up the cover, Mike Wagner had a shot at it, but it was too high and too hard,

1570
02:28:20,360 --> 02:28:22,360
and it falls incomplete.

1571
02:28:22,360 --> 02:28:24,360
Two minutes, 18 seconds.

1572
02:28:24,360 --> 02:28:28,360
In a cold night in New Orleans, the temperatures had to drop into the lower 40s at least,

1573
02:28:28,360 --> 02:28:34,360
with a stiff wind blowing throughout the game.

1574
02:28:34,360 --> 02:28:39,360
They charge the holding to Jack Lambert on that previous penalty.

1575
02:28:39,360 --> 02:28:42,360
Scott is 9 for 2100, 7 yards in the touchdown.

1576
02:28:42,360 --> 02:28:46,360
James is in as the fourth linebacker, replacing Steve Burnett.

1577
02:28:46,360 --> 02:28:49,360
That's Pittsburgh 40 at a second and 10.

1578
02:28:49,360 --> 02:28:51,360
And back goes Scott with a flag down.

1579
02:28:51,360 --> 02:28:54,360
Scott is skipped as he gets rid of the football,

1580
02:28:54,360 --> 02:28:58,360
incomplete on the far side intended for Joel Parker in the neighborhood of the Pittsburgh 20

1581
02:28:58,360 --> 02:29:00,360
with Jim Allen covering.

1582
02:29:00,360 --> 02:29:02,360
Allen playing the right corner now and plays for Mel Blunt,

1583
02:29:02,360 --> 02:29:07,360
who's a rookie from UCLA, 6'2", 194 pounds.

1584
02:29:07,360 --> 02:29:13,360
Now the consultation out at the 40-yard line.

1585
02:29:13,360 --> 02:29:17,360
Pittsburgh is getting the option.

1586
02:29:17,360 --> 02:29:22,360
They're calling an illegal motion penalty against the Saints defined by Pittsburgh.

1587
02:29:22,360 --> 02:29:24,360
Andy Russell says we don't want it.

1588
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:27,360
It's cleared down and 10.

1589
02:29:27,360 --> 02:29:33,360
The Saints have been hit with only one 10-yard penalty for holding.

1590
02:29:33,360 --> 02:29:41,360
The crowd has diminished considerably.

1591
02:29:41,360 --> 02:29:46,360
All right, here's Bobby Scott calling the signals for the New Orleans Saints,

1592
02:29:46,360 --> 02:29:49,360
the senior 40-yard line.

1593
02:29:49,360 --> 02:29:52,360
Scott Jakes, Jakes, back and looking, throwing,

1594
02:29:52,360 --> 02:29:56,360
narrowing, completed the 30 in and out of the arms of Paul Field,

1595
02:29:56,360 --> 02:29:58,360
the big rookie from Michigan.

1596
02:29:58,360 --> 02:30:01,360
Jack Lambert in hand covering did not figure on that one.

1597
02:30:01,360 --> 02:30:03,360
Field just simply could not hold the football.

1598
02:30:03,360 --> 02:30:06,360
He dropped it.

1599
02:30:06,360 --> 02:30:12,360
Big 6'4", 222 pound rookie from Michigan and that pass was right on the nose.

1600
02:30:12,360 --> 02:30:19,360
Field dropped it, got it, 9'4", 22, 107 yards on one touchdown.

1601
02:30:19,360 --> 02:30:24,360
2-0-8 to play in the ball game.

1602
02:30:24,360 --> 02:30:30,360
On a Monday night in New Orleans.

1603
02:30:30,360 --> 02:30:32,360
They break down to the huddle, Bob Newell into the right,

1604
02:30:32,360 --> 02:30:34,360
Joe Parker wide to the left.

1605
02:30:34,360 --> 02:30:36,360
Tight end is Paul Field.

1606
02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:38,360
Quarterback is Bobby Scott.

1607
02:30:38,360 --> 02:30:42,360
He's back to throw and after him and getting in his Dwight White.

1608
02:30:42,360 --> 02:30:51,360
Mad Dog in for two, gets the tack and the Steelers continue to add to their tremendous number of sacks for the season,

1609
02:30:51,360 --> 02:30:54,360
all the way back to the New Orleans 49-yard line.

1610
02:30:54,360 --> 02:30:58,360
And that was a 4th down play so the Steelers will take over at that point,

1611
02:30:58,360 --> 02:31:03,360
2-0-4 remaining in the ball game.

1612
02:31:03,360 --> 02:31:14,360
Paul is at the New Orleans 49-and-a-half yard line.

1613
02:31:14,360 --> 02:31:15,360
Let's see what we have now.

1614
02:31:15,360 --> 02:31:18,360
Lynn Swan is out and Reggie Garrett is in.

1615
02:31:18,360 --> 02:31:20,360
John Stalworth remains in.

1616
02:31:20,360 --> 02:31:23,360
Garrett and Stalworth are the wide receivers.

1617
02:31:23,360 --> 02:31:28,360
Running back, roll steady because they're going to rest Rocky Blyer apparently and not use him.

1618
02:31:28,360 --> 02:31:31,360
And Brad Shaw gives it to Steve Davis.

1619
02:31:31,360 --> 02:31:36,360
He drives the right side, swinging outside of the right, goes down to the 48-yard line.

1620
02:31:36,360 --> 02:31:38,360
Comes with a two-minute warning period in the ball game.

1621
02:31:38,360 --> 02:31:42,360
There's a timeout on the field and with a break in the action we'll be right back.

1622
02:31:42,360 --> 02:31:44,360
He's in the both clubs.

1623
02:31:44,360 --> 02:31:51,360
Here's a handoff to Steve Davis running to the left and he works his way down to the 45-yard line.

1624
02:31:51,360 --> 02:31:55,360
A tackle made by Bob Pollard.

1625
02:31:55,360 --> 02:31:59,360
The first Steelers leading 28-7 are playing out the clock.

1626
02:31:59,360 --> 02:32:03,360
No scoring here in the fourth quarter.

1627
02:32:03,360 --> 02:32:08,360
Banks came at them game-wise and they changed their game plan considerably with Bobby Scott coming in as quarterback.

1628
02:32:08,360 --> 02:32:09,360
Brad Shaw's back.

1629
02:32:09,360 --> 02:32:11,360
He's not going to throw, he's going to run.

1630
02:32:11,360 --> 02:32:16,360
Now he's throwing back the opposite direction, the left, and completes the pass to the tight end, Randy Grossman.

1631
02:32:16,360 --> 02:32:21,360
At the 35-yard line, Grossman is pulled down by Wayne Coleman and Vivian Lee.

1632
02:32:21,360 --> 02:32:25,360
Brad Shaw that time went back as though to pass, ran as though to run.

1633
02:32:25,360 --> 02:32:26,360
The ball was in trouble.

1634
02:32:26,360 --> 02:32:31,360
He went back in the opposite direction and there was Randy Grossman, his first reception tonight.

1635
02:32:31,360 --> 02:32:35,360
And they have a first down at the Saints 35-yard line.

1636
02:32:35,360 --> 02:32:37,360
Clock turning with 51 seconds.

1637
02:32:37,360 --> 02:32:43,360
So Brad Shaw has completed the pass.

1638
02:32:43,360 --> 02:32:48,360
And it's first and tenth.

1639
02:32:48,360 --> 02:32:53,360
Brad Shaw is eighth for 19 now.

1640
02:32:53,360 --> 02:32:56,360
Dave Revis is in the ball game in the offensive line.

1641
02:32:56,360 --> 02:32:59,360
Rick Russo is playing in that offensive line.

1642
02:32:59,360 --> 02:33:04,360
And the handoff is carried straight ahead by Franco Harris.

1643
02:33:04,360 --> 02:33:11,360
Woo!

1644
02:33:11,360 --> 02:33:18,360
Randy Harrison, new running back, gets into the ball game.

1645
02:33:18,360 --> 02:33:21,360
And that's the first substitution without a running back tonight.

1646
02:33:21,360 --> 02:33:29,360
Bob Pollard and Jim Merlo on the stop, the ball just inside the Saints 30.

1647
02:33:29,360 --> 02:33:32,360
And they run out the clock.

1648
02:33:32,360 --> 02:33:38,360
So we come down to the end of the ball game with the final score, 6-3, 28, drawing seven.

1649
02:33:38,360 --> 02:33:41,360
We'll be right back.
