There are so many things that can happen as far as teams still trying to get into the playoffs, but let us centralize ourselves on the Tampa Bay situation. 11 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:13,000 If Tampa Bay defeats Kansas City or Chicago loses to St. Louis, the Buccaneers will win the Central Division title. 12 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:22,000 If Tampa Bay and Chicago finish tied, the Buccaneers would win the division title on the basis of a better division record, 6-2 to 5-3 for Chicago. 13 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000 That's basically the situation. Right now, let's go to Tampa Bay. 14 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Good afternoon everybody. Mark Champion and Dave Kuturek with you. It is a rainy afternoon at Tampa Stadium. 15 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000 The Buccaneers kicking off Neil Modotahue. Beneath man is Johnny Durdin. 16 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:49,000 He comes up forward at the gate guard line, takes a third of the 10, 15, tries to get outside 20, breaks free 25, 30, and up near the 35-yard line, Neil Modotahue over there to force him down along with Billy Cesar. 17 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 So a pretty good return that time by Johnny Durdin. 18 00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:01,000 And Kansas sitting on offense with Steve Fuller, the rookie out of Clemson, a number one drop choice at quarterback, Ted McKnight and Earl Gantt of the running back. 19 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Gantt starting over Mike Williams, another rookie. 20 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:14,000 The wide receivers are Henry Marshall and JT Smith, the tight end Tony Samuels, Charlie Getty, Rod Walters, Jack Rudnay, Tom Condon, and Bob Simmons make up the offensive line. 21 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:21,000 First and 10, 35-yard line as the Chiefs move from right to left here at Tampa Stadium. 22 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Steve Fuller, the rookie, hands off, goes inside and the tackle made just across the 38-yard line. 23 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Earl Gantt, Dewey Solomon on the stop that time, brings up a second down. 24 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000 And the crowd seems to be a bit fired up, Dave. 25 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Oh, that's true, Mark. There's so much on this football game and everybody's been talking about the crowd and I'm sure everybody senses it. 26 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000 I know everybody in this booth is very, very excited. 27 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,000 I think the rain's going to hamper what could be a championship game, but I think everybody's going to have to make the best of it. 28 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Wide receivers to either side on second down and seven, Gantt and McKnight are split behind Fuller. 29 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000 He bubbles the ball, picks it up and is tackled immediately after a pick up maybe of a half a yard. 30 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Wally Chambers wrapping his arms around Steve Fuller and we're going to see that happen today. 31 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000 I talked to Frankie Pappello before the game. He says they're going to use rosin. Rosin is the answer. 32 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000 Sickom doesn't really work when things get wet and you pick up a lot of junk and things that are very difficult. 33 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000 So I think you're going to see a lot more conservative game from both sides. 34 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 When it starts to rain, the ball gets a little bit slippery. 35 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 You've got to go with a little more muscle, a little less finesse. 36 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000 However, Doug Williams has a tendency to throw rather well in rain in wet conditions and maybe he'll be able to be on target today. 37 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Marshall to the left side, JT Smith on the right side now on third and seven and Motion McKnight. 38 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Dropping back is Fuller to pass. Centaline flags are down. Out of the backfield and incomplete. 39 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Mark, I hate to say, I think Wally Chambers might have charged offside from his left defensive end spot a little bit early. 40 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000 I think he's going to get another shot. They're going to take the penalty and get another shot. 41 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Earl Gantling, intended receiver that time, went off his end. 42 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 No, no, it was Motion Kansas City. 43 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So the Buccaneers will get the football after the punch coming up now by the national football league leading punter, Bob Gruff. 44 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000 You know, the interesting thing about Gruff, he's a free agent. He had a couple of tryouts with the Jets. 45 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:24,000 He also tried out in Canada and it's interesting. He's averaging 43.7 and he's kicked extremely well. 46 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Well, they took the penalty. 47 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Well, now wait a minute. Now they've decided to... 48 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000 The ball was dead. Fire to the snap. 49 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:39,000 All right, the ball was dead. Jerry Seaman, the referee, fooled everybody because they had changed over and the whistle had blown apparently. 50 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000 So now it will be a third down and a little more than 11 yards. 51 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:52,000 The ball marks back at about the 33-yard line. 13-27, first quarter, rainy afternoon. No score, Kansas City and Tampa Bay. 52 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Wide receivers to either side. Again, McKnight and Gantz. Fuller to pass on third and long. Out of the backfield, McKnight at the 30. 53 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000 35 and Randy Clowder has him out of bounds at about the 37-yard line and it brings up fourth down. 54 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Very aggressive defense that time. The entire left side, as we've seen so often, Mark, during the season, the cornerback, Jarrett White, coming up. 55 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Linebacker, Wally Chambers, Randy Clowder from his nose. All of them converging over there and limiting to a four- or five-yard gain bringing up the putting situation. 56 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000 We might tell you defensively for the Buccaneers, Danny Reese is starting at right cornerback in place of Mike Washington. 57 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,000 He suffered a shoulder injury last week. It's not known how much, or if at all, that Mike can play. Bob Grubb gets the snap. 58 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Good charge for the on-grub. Gets it away. It's a low kick. Danny Reese will let it bounce. 59 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Picked it at the 25 and it hit immediately at the 26-yard line. That's where the Buccaneers take over. 60 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 The tackle made by J.T. Smith. So it's 13-10 remaining here in the first quarter. 61 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing, and the fans are really getting fired up now after the 37-yard punt. 62 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Doug Williams, the quarterback. Wicky Bell, Johnny Davis in the backfield. Larry Mucker and Ike Hagan, the wide receivers. 63 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Jimmy Giles, a tight end. Dave Revis and Greg Wharton on the left side. Steve Wilson, the center. Greg Roberts and Darryl Carlton on the right side. 64 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Defensively, we'll get to Kansas City in just a minute. 65 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000 One of the big matchups, Mark, is the right tackle. Darryl Carlton against Arch Steele, their premier defensive left end. 66 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000 They open with two tight ends. O'Bradovich is in there. The lone wide receiver is Mucker. 67 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Back to split. Handoff goes to Wicky Bell, and he cannot find much at all. Right up the middle, Arch Steele, the number one draft choice in 78 out of Kentucky. 68 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Makes the tackle. He is at left defensive end. Don Perish is in the middle, and Sylvester Hicks on the right side. 69 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 The linebackers are Calvin Peterson, the former Buccaneer, starting over the injured Whitney Paul. 70 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Frank Manumaliuna is on the inside left side. Gary Spanning on the right side, and Tom Howard is the right side linebacker. 71 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Gary Green, M.L. Carter, are the corners. Gary Byborow, and we're going to check to see if Christopher is starting at strong safety because he was slightly injured as well. 72 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:06,000 Second down, nine for the 27. Again, Wicky Bell, the handoff. Sides to swing it out, finds room up to the right side, and gets just near the 30 yard line where Christopher made the tackle. 73 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000 So indeed he is in the lineup. 12-22 remaining in the first quarter, no score. 74 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000 You're likely to see a lot of running plays here this afternoon because the ball is wet. 75 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:24,000 The field is tremendous because it soaks up that rain very, very well. Good drainage system here, but the ball is wet. 76 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Yeah, the ball is wet, Mark. The field should be excellent. The rain just started just prior to game time, and it hasn't really been heavy, so I don't see any problems. I think the ball being wet is the big factor. 77 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Third down and six, the ball just across the 30 yard line here at Tampa Stadium. In the flat light as Wicky Bell in motion goes Larry Mucker to the left side. 78 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Doug Williams to pass on third down and six. He's looking long, and flipping as Ike Haggins, and the ball goes out of bounds at about the 20 yard line. It was well over thrown anyway. 79 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Ike flipped along the sideline. It wouldn't have been good had he caught it because he went out of bounds. 80 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000 The official on the spot dropped his hat indicating that he had gone out of bounds. When he made the cut, he flipped it, carried him out of bounds. 81 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:10,000 He can't go from out of bounds to in bounds and still make the play, and so it would have been incomplete even if he hung on the ball, bringing up a punting situation. 82 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:16,000 J.T. Smith at eight, man, he has returned 56 points this year, an average of 10.7. He is the speedster. 83 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Two touchdowns I might add, Mark, one of which went 88 yards I believe against the Oakland Raiders. Tom Blanchard standing back, awaiting the snap from Dana Masviger. 84 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:33,000 It is a good one, and he's going to have to hurry, gets it away. It's a fast front, line drive right to J.T. Smith at the 35, up to the 40, and he tackled it about the 43 yard line. 85 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:45,000 Billy Cesar was in there initially, and Jim O'Bradovich also on the stop. 34 yard front, an eight yard return. So with the score, Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing, we'll be back. 86 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:58,000 We'll take a look at the schedule in the National Football League, and then we'll, as briefly as we possibly can and as clearly as we possibly can, try to explain to you the various possibilities for playoff teams. 87 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000 This is something much better read than said, but we'll try to clear it up for you a bit. 88 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Well on Saturday, the New York Jets over Miami, 27 to 24, doesn't make any difference as far as Miami is concerned because they've already clinched the division title and no other team from that division can qualify, so no problem. 89 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:23,000 The Jets 27 to 24 over Miami. Green Bay and Detroit both well out of it. Green Bay winning Saturday 18 to 13 at the Silver Dome. 90 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Now in progress right now, Buffalo is at Pittsburgh, Kansas City at Tampa Bay, that's the game you're listening to right now. Cleveland is at Cincinnati, Minnesota at New England, Baltimore at the New York Giants, and San Francisco at Atlanta. 91 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:43,000 All of those games are in progress. A little later, Philadelphia at Houston and St. Louis at Chicago, then later Washington at Dallas, that game will be heard later. 92 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000 New Orleans is at Los Angeles, Seattle at Oakland, and then Monday Denver at San Diego. 93 00:09:49,000 --> 00:10:01,000 We want to mention to you, we'll have updates throughout the afternoon on the Chicago-St. Louis game at Soldier Field where it is 19 degrees, and that game gets underway at 2 o'clock. The wind chill factor is minus 9 degrees. 94 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:15,000 That's a lot of fun. This is no picnic playing in this stuff, but I'd rather play in a little wet at about 65 or 70 degrees than a wind chill factor of minus 9 in overcast in Chicago. That's an hour starting, at least that's an hour after this kickoff. 95 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:23,000 JT Smith to the left side, and Henry Marshall splits right on first down at 10 Kansas City from the 44 yard line. Play fake. 96 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Steve Fuller dropping back to pass, gets one out, open, complete to Marshall, and he's going to be brought down at about the 48 yard line by Cecil Johnson. 97 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Good, strong tackle by the right side linebacker, Henry Marshall. So it brings up a second down, and about 5, 6 yards to go. 98 00:10:51,000 --> 00:11:03,000 It is second and six. Kansas City 48 yard line, 11 minutes to go, first quarter, no score, Tampa Bay and Kansas City. Steve Fuller brings them up, Gant and McKnight in the backfield, they are split. 99 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000 And off McKnight, off the left side, tries to swing it out, and can't. He's brought down a loss. 100 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Big play, Richard Wood on the tackle, but Cecil Johnson made the play. He turned it in, and Richard Wood made the tackle, lost back to the 45. Again, very fine outside support, the corner, Danny Reese coming up also, Cedric Brown from his free safety spot, 101 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:36,000 bringing that play out along with Cecil Johnson, and what happens when you swing it out? You allow the big people, your good tacklers, an opportunity to come on in from the inside, and they threw that one for a 5 yard loss, bringing up a third and ninth. 102 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:46,000 The Chiefs go with three wide receivers as Stan Rhoam and other Clemson rookie at 11th round drop choice comes in, so they have three wide receivers on third and ninth from the 45 yard line. 103 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:57,000 Steve Fuller dropping deep, the pass, good pressure, the pass is incomplete, and a flag drop. Dewey Thelma with a strong hit on the intended receiver that time, Ced McKnight. 104 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:08,000 I think the Herald can't hold, Mark. It looks like the flag was deep in the Kansas City where the pocket was based, and I think it's going to be a holding against Kansas City, correct. Well, they all decline the penalty, it is fourth down. 105 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000 The headlinesman was the one that threw that flag, and he threw it in the direction of the pocket. 106 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Your attention please, Walter Markert. The referee is Jerry Seaman, Frank Sikovits is the umpire, headlinesman is Joe Mase who made the call, Bob McAuley is the line judge, Al Jury the back judge, side judge Bob Wrightfield, judge Bill O'Brien. 107 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:44,000 And Danny Reese is the man to receive the punt from Rupp. Danny back at his 10, snap, Rupp gets it away, it's the wobbler again, Danny lets it drop at the 25, he's going to get away from it, and it's going to take a bucket here, bounce and go out of bounds at the 22 yard line. 108 00:12:44,000 --> 00:13:09,000 And that is where Tampa Bay takes over, touched by Dave Rosemack, a 33 yard punt by the NFL's leading hunter, first and 10 Tampa Bay with a score, the Bucs nothing, Kansas City nothing. 109 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:20,000 Reviewing the situation for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, now if Tampa Bay defeats Kansas City or Chicago loses to St. Louis, the Buccaneers will win the division title. 110 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:30,000 If Tampa Bay and Chicago finish tied, the Buccaneers will win the division title on the basis of a better divisional record, they'll be 6 and 2, and Chicago will be 5 and 3. 111 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Now Chicago will be at home against St. Louis, but that game will not be getting underway for about 45 minutes, so if you have heard about scoreboard watching and baseball, I got news for you, they're going to be taking a close look at the scoreboard in Chicago to see the progress of this game between Kansas City and Tampa Bay. 112 00:13:49,000 --> 00:14:02,000 If Chicago wins and Tampa Bay loses, the Bears will win the division title on an overall record 10 to 6 to 9 and 7. 113 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Tampa Stadium on this Sunday afternoon, a very, very important Sunday for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, we have 9 minutes and 55 seconds remaining in the first quarter, no score, Tampa Bay and Kansas City, the rain has kind of neutralized things offensively for both teams, and Dave you noticed that they're putting a lot of pressure on Grupp the punter. 114 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:38,000 Well there's a lot of pressure going both ways, a lot of pressure on Mike, on Tom Blanchard, I want to keep calling him Mike Blanchard, a tennis official named Mike Blanchard, an old friend, but anyway they're putting a lot of pressure on Blanchard as well, but Grupp has got a lot of heat from the inside of the Bucs' punter rush team and hasn't been very effective. 115 00:14:38,000 --> 00:15:04,000 In his first intent, too tight in offense now for John McKay's Buccaneers, the Baxter split behind Doug Williams in first intent, in motion Larry Mucker, handoff Ricky Bell, 25, breaks free to the 29-yard line, and the tackle played that time by Tom Howard, the right linebacker, good first down pick up that time by Ricky, who's going for 1200 yards, he said that was his goal after reaching 1000, and he needed I believe 74 yards to reach the 1200 mark. 116 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Well he's got 11 and 3 carries Mark, he's well on his way, and he's carried every ball, every play that they've run, Doug through one pass incomplete. 117 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:30,000 The Buccaneers go to two tight ends, two wide receivers, a different style of alignment, Jim O'Bradovich actually flanks out as a wide receiver on this play on second and three, and he is in motion to the left side, pitch back to Ricky Bell, Bell looking for room, he's not going to find it, Herb Christopher turned that play in and made the tackle. 118 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:37,000 O'Bradovich went in motion to the left side and the pitch went wide to Ricky and wide there was Herb Christopher. 119 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:54,000 Well he came in motion and he cracked extremely well, he came in motion and got a fine block on Cal Peterson, the linebacker, Jimmy Giles with an excellent block on Arch, still, however Christopher came in with O'Bradovich and he was in excellent position for the support play. 120 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:01,000 So it is third down and three now, the ball is the Tampa Bay 29 yard line, Jerry Eckwood comes in the game and replaces Jim O'Bradovich. 121 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:09,000 So it is Eckwood and Bell in the backfield, actually Jerry is in a wing to the left side, going in motion is Larry Mucker to the right. 122 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Doug Williams, draw play, Ricky Bell 30, 35, up to the 40 yard line, first down Buccaneers, Tom Howard on the tackle, but not until Ricky Bell picked up a good first team yard and a Tampa Bay first down with 8'16 remaining in the first quarter. 123 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Excellent call, the draw play. 124 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:45,000 Well he got some good blocks up front, Steve Wilson primarily, Greg Horton on the left center and left offensive guard with fine blocks, Dave Revis simply kicking out, making it look like a pass type action and he was able to move Mike Bell out of there. 125 00:16:45,000 --> 00:17:02,000 Mike Hagens to the left side and Morris Owens is now the flanker right, the backfield still, Bell and Jerry Eckwood there in an eye on first down 10, handoff Ricky Bell, 45, Bell with a 49 yard line and again the tackle by Don Terry, the nose tackle. 126 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000 Big burst of about 8 yards for Ricky Bell, right up the middle. 127 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Pick up a 7 that time, brings up a second down and a little over 2. 128 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:25,000 He said 8 and statistician Provenzano said 7 and I say 7 and a half so we don't go by half in this business, the scoreboard doesn't know how to do it so they're going to call it second and two. 129 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Larry Mucker in at flanker replacing Owens, wide receivers to either side, 7, 12 remaining, first quarter, no score but the Bucs are driving, they have it at their own 49 yard line, Jerry Eckwood the call, midfield, break free, 45, Eckwood to the 40, 35, and a first down for the Buccaneers. 130 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:57,800 Jerry Eckwood, ML 131 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:28,800 Very explosive in additional dimensions they've been lacking, first and 10, Kansas City 34 yard line, wide receivers Mucker and Hagan to either side, Johnny Davidson replacing Jerry Eckwood, handoff Ricky Bell, inside to the 30, 25, Ricky Bell with a 20 yard line, another first down, Jerry Barbaro the free safety on the stop. 132 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:39,800 But not until Bell picked up 15 yards on that play, down to the Kansas City 19 yard line, 6, 04 remaining, first quarter, no score. 133 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:56,800 Eckwood back in now replacing Johnny Davis so Ricky will shift to the fullback side unless, well now Johnny comes back on the field and Ricky Bell is going to get a breather and he'll get a good hand from this crowd as he comes off the field, not bad for Ricky Bell. 134 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:16,800 Hagan with left and Larry Mucker to the right side now, back to the 9, on first and 10 for the 19, pitch back, Eckwood to the 20, down to the 16 yard line and he lost his footing, he gets back up but he didn't get touched but Calvin Peterson the former Buccaneer kind of took his feet from underneath him. 135 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:28,800 So they mark it down at about the 16 yard line. 136 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Second down, 6, pick up a 4 that time, Eckwood comes along the sidelines now, it will be Ricky Bell and Johnny Davis. 137 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:55,800 Bell with 45 yards and 7 carries, wide receivers from either side, ball at the Kansas City 16 yard line, 4, 58 remaining in the first quarter. Good ground offense, Ricky Bell is hit right about the line of scrimmage by Don Perry for those tackled out of Pittsburgh, he was a free agent dropped by the Atlanta Falcons. 138 00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:10,800 Defensively on the line, the Kansas City Chiefs have an excellent defensive front three, anchored by Arch Phil and Mike Bell who is the big guy, a rookie out of Colorado State, a number one draft choice, we'll see some action, number 99. 139 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:18,800 Both defensive ends, Bell number 99 and Arch Phil number 67 were number one picks the last two years. 140 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:26,800 It is now 3 and 5 from the Kansas City 15 yard line, Jimmy Giles lines up as a wide receiver to the right side. 141 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Doug Williams to pass and it is ruled to Obradovich incomplete. 142 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:40,800 Kind of skipped up to him that time, Jim Obradovich, the ball was thrown low and now on comes Neil O'Donoghue to attempt the field goal. 143 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:49,800 And this will be a 32 yard field goal attempt, Tom Blanchard to do the holding. Incidentally Steve Wilson is snapping in place of injured Charlie Hanna on the field goal attempt. 144 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Talked to Neil and the last time with the extra point against San Francisco was a little bit low, Blanchard with a good hold was able to get it down and they were able to convert on the extra point. 145 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:07,800 So, 4th down and 5, Neil O'Donoghue to attempt the 32 yard field goal to get the Buccaneers the early lead with 4, 11 remaining. 146 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:15,800 Steve Wilson, the snap is modeled right through Blanchard's hand, O'Donoghue breaks away and he's running to the 25. 147 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,800 Blanchard looking for the first down marker but he will not even get close. 148 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,800 So, the snap went right through Tom Blanchard's hand. 149 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,800 The ball may have been wet, it's hard to say. 150 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,800 So, the Buccaneers come away empty handed. 151 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:40,800 It wasn't a real bad snap, it was hard to tell, Tom had his hands on it and again it's a very, very wet ball. 152 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,800 The ball came a little bit far, a little bit to the side and Blanchard was unable to hold it. 153 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,800 So, with a score of Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing, we'll be back on the Buccaneer radio network. 154 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:56,800 As far as that national conference under race is concerned and we explained to you the various possibilities, see one more. 155 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:05,800 If Chicago doesn't win the division title and finishes tied with Washington for the remaining wild card berth, the tie would be broken on the basis of best net points in all games. 156 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,800 The Redskins would have a plus 54 net and the Bears a plus 21 net point. 157 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:18,800 So, Tampa Bay needs to beat Kansas City or Chicago needs to lose to St. Louis. 158 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:25,800 If Tampa Bay wins this game, well then the Buccaneers can rest easy for the rest of the afternoon because it doesn't make too much difference. 159 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,800 However, if Tampa Bay should lose and Chicago loses, well then the Buccaneers are in pretty good shape. 160 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,800 The NFC West has already been clinched by Los Angeles. 161 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,800 They've done it for a record NFL 7 straight time. 162 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,800 No other teams from the NFC West can qualify. 163 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:46,800 It'll take us probably the rest of the first quarter of this football game to explain the situation in the NFC East. 164 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,800 We'll be carrying the Dallas-Washington game later. We'll get to that one at that time. 165 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,800 So, Kansas City takes over, first and 10 at the 20-yard line. 166 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,800 Wally Chambers, Randy Crowder, and Leroy Selman are the defensive line for the Buccaneers. 167 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,800 David Lewis, Dewey Selman, Richard Wood, and Cecil Johnson are the linebackers. 168 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,800 Jaris White and Danny Reese are the cornerbacks. 169 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,800 Cedric Brown, Mark Cotton, he's the safety. 170 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,800 That is the defensive alignment for the Buccaneers. 171 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,800 Again, Reese replacing the injured Mike Washington who suffered a shoulder injury against San Francisco. 172 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,800 4-0-9 remaining in the first quarter, no score. 173 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,800 The Buccaneers, a very impressive drive on the ground, but it's stalled, 174 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:29,800 and the field goal attempt went awry as the ball was not handled by the holder Tom Blanchard. 175 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,800 First and 10 for Kansas City. 176 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,800 And off goes Gant across the 20, up near the 24-yard line. 177 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,800 Pickup of about 4 yards that time. Brings up second down and six. 178 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,800 We might make note, Mark, that they had the ball for over 7 minutes in that drive, 179 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,800 and it really doesn't mean a lot because they didn't get any score, 180 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,800 but at least it gives them some confidence that they know they can move the ball against a very solid defensive team. 181 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,800 In a couple games, it don't mean a heck of a lot. 182 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,800 Baltimore, Colts, 7-0 over the New York Giants in the first period. 183 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,800 Atlanta, 3-0 over San Francisco. 184 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,800 We'll keep you abreast of that Chicago game. 185 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,800 We will cut in periodically, and that's an hour later start to this game. 186 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,800 Henry Marshall to the left side. J.T. Smith, flanked right on second down and six foul for Kansas City. 187 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,800 And off Gant. He's got room. 188 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:18,800 He drops to 30. David Lewis chasing him down and makes the tackle and a penalty flag drop. 189 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,800 David Lewis made the tackle at the 37-yard line and then a late penalty flag drop. 190 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,800 Don't be surprised if somebody might have grabbed the face mask. 191 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,800 The referee, Jerry Seaman, will make the call. 192 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,800 It's going to go against Kansas City. 193 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,800 We're going to get a personal foul clipping against Kansas City. 194 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,800 I think the wide receiver came back and clipped David Lewis. 195 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,800 He tried to throw a block that time, I think. 196 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,800 And that will mark off Big Yardage, 15. 197 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:56,800 And it moves it all the way back just about to the line of scrimmage, the original line of scrimmage, just short of the 20-yard line. 198 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,800 And we hear Jerry Seaman now with the call. 199 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,800 Personal foul clipping, pop it. 200 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,800 And we didn't hear the player, but it was one of the wide receivers. 201 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,800 And that's why he's coming in. 202 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,800 He clipped Jaris White. Jaris is coming in and he came in completely from the backside. 203 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,800 So it is now second down and nine for Kansas City. 204 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,800 323 remaining in the first quarter. 205 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,800 No score on a rainy afternoon, and it certainly will have an effect. 206 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,800 It already has. 207 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,800 Gant and McKnight are split behind Steve Fuller. 208 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,800 He's going to pass on second and nine. 209 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,800 Gets the time over the middle, complete to Gant. 210 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,800 That's a 30. 35. Turns the corner to 40. 211 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,800 And he is pushed out of bounds by Richard Wood at about the 48-yard line. 212 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,800 Oh, there's a penalty. That's a bad shot. 213 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,800 He didn't know he was out of bounds. 214 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,800 Richard went and gave him a shot right at the lower portion of his chest. 215 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,800 And they're going to say it's a late hit, but he didn't know the guy was out of bounds. 216 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800 He was still very active and very much into running at it. 217 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,800 Well, again, it's on the Kansas City side of the field. 218 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:02,800 And John McKay has talked about this a great deal, that they seem to call them on the side of the bench. 219 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,800 For example, if it would have been a Buccaneer call, if the Bucs had been offensive, 220 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,800 later the chances are it would have gone for the Buccaneers, had it been on their side of the field. 221 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,800 It's a very, very judgmental call. 222 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,800 And again, it was on the Kansas City side of the field. 223 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:24,800 So it will give Kansas City an excellent field position now, first and 10, at the Tampa Bay 43-yard line. 224 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:32,800 Personal foul, unnecessary roughness, number 34, defense. 225 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,800 Yeah, that was Cedric. 226 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800 Richard Wood actually was the one that forced him out of bounds, but Cedric didn't know it. 227 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,800 He just wanted to make sure and he gave him a kind of a shot. 228 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,800 He didn't go to his head. 229 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,800 He just went to his upper part of his chest as they took him through the flag. 230 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,800 First and 10, Buccaneer 44-yard line, 3.13 to go in the first quarter now. 231 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Wide receivers to either side. 232 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,800 The Buccaneers are blitzing and Mark Cotney comes in and hauls down. 233 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,800 Kevin McFyde, David Lewis, also went on the stop. 234 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:07,800 The Bucs had a safety blitz on that time and they snuffed out that play a lot, so maybe a couple of yards. 235 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,800 Swings up second down, a little over 11. 236 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,800 So that fired up the defense after that personal foul federally. 237 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,800 And this crowd is fired up and that's something that is very, very good to see. 238 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:25,800 And those of you with radios in the stands, we want to have you keep that mood going, cheering all the way for this team. 239 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,800 Both wide receivers are to the right side. 240 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,800 And now the man in motion to the left is Marshall. 241 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,800 Handoff goes to Earl Gant. 242 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,800 He's scooping around and he's not getting anywhere. 243 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,800 No game, perhaps a lot of a couple of yards. 244 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,800 David Lewis and Cedric Brown on the stop. 245 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,800 David Lewis stood that play up very, very well. 246 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,800 He didn't let Gant get outside and Cedric Brown from his free safety spot came over to clean up. 247 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,800 And the intensity, Cedric's really hitting. 248 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,800 He's not known as a real tough hitter. 249 00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:03,800 He's a great center fielder, but he came in from center field and literally took Gant and David Lewis just threw him down to the ground. 250 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,800 But the intensity of that defense is really something. 251 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,800 The Chiefs go with three wide receivers. 252 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:13,800 Stan Rohn comes in and Curtis Jordan to mickleback for Tampa Bay. 253 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,800 Third down 11 from the bucket here, 45-yard line. 254 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,800 In motion goes Ted McKnight. 255 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,800 Dropping back deep is Steve Fuller. 256 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,800 He looks, fires, intercepts it. 257 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,800 Pick off Richard Wood. 258 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,800 He's up to the 40, 45, under the 46-yard line. 259 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,800 A big interception by the Batman, Richard Wood. 260 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,800 And JT Smith made the tackle. 261 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:45,800 12-yard return that time by Richard Wood. 262 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,800 And so time out on the field with a minute 21 remaining here in the first quarter. 263 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,800 No score, Tampa Bay and Kansas City. 264 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,800 And well, that's going to fire him up a little bit, Dave. 265 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,800 Yeah, that's for Richard Wood with excellent position there. 266 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,800 That's his second interception. 267 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,800 He had one for 24 earlier, so now he's got two for 36. 268 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,800 We've got 1.21 to go in the first period. 269 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,800 And the Buc defense, I think, has been outstanding. 270 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,800 They've allowed one first down that I recall. 271 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,800 The other one was aided by the penalty. 272 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,800 And they're really hitting and stocking, putting a lot of pressure. 273 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,800 They really haven't got close to Fuller yet at this time. 274 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,800 But most of the outside people, Leroy Selman, Wally Chambers, have been putting plenty of heat on. 275 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,800 And that one just looked like it floated off his head. 276 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,800 Fuller is a fine young man, a great college quarterback at Clemson. 277 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,800 And a super smart guy. 278 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,800 You know, Levy is a 5'8' of Kappa. 279 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,800 Steve Fuller was a 3.99 in college. 280 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,800 And he really enjoys that intelligence being around. 281 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,800 The Chiefs have made a change at Nostacle. 282 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,800 They brought in their rookie seventh-round draft choice, Ken Kramer, out of Ball State. 283 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,800 My old alma mater. 284 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,800 Got to mention that because there are not very many in the National Football League. 285 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,800 No, that's for sure. 286 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,800 But the ones who are in play very well, naturally. 287 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,800 The good friend Jay Randolph is doing the game for NBC today. 288 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,800 And Paul McGuire says Ball State is his favorite school. 289 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,800 We won't go into it. 290 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,800 Paul McGuire is my old teammate. 291 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,800 We owned a saloon together in San Diego. 292 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,800 He's having a back-to-the-five first-and-ten from the Tampa Bay 46-yard line. 293 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,800 Bucker and Hagen to either side. 294 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,800 Hand off Ricky Vowell. 295 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,800 And he can't find much room at all. 296 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,800 Arch Still, maybe stop off the right side of the Tampa Bay line. 297 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,800 Pick up a maybe a yard that time. 298 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,800 And George Ragsdale comes in the game. 299 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,800 Now John McKay said earlier this week that George Ragsdale and Jerry Eckwood would play a great deal. 300 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,800 It was probably a good anticipation that they would throw a lot to him. 301 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,800 But now, of course, with the rain, we don't know. 302 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,800 With the rain. 303 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:47,800 I think we'll still put the ball. 304 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,800 We'll still see the ball be put in the air a fair amount. 305 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,800 I don't think you're going to see the long stuff because of the control factor. 306 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,800 But I think the little dink stuff to the back, Eckwood and Ragsdale, we should see some of that. 307 00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,800 Forty-five seconds remaining. 308 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,800 First quarter, no score. 309 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,800 In motion goes Lerri Mucker to the left side now. 310 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,800 Doug Williams pitches back right to Ricky Vowell. 311 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:07,800 He turns the corner, gets out. 312 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,800 Fidelity flag drops as Vowell is forced out of bounds at about the 47-yard line. 313 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,800 And George Ragsdale was kind of looking at the officials. 314 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,800 I think Ike Hagen's clipped. 315 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,800 Ike coming in from his flanker spot. 316 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,800 Well, we got a clipping steadily against Tampa Bay. 317 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,800 One guy was kicking out on the men, and Hagen came in and kicked in, clipped in, and he was really high-load. 318 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,800 I think it was the outside linebacker, Cal Peterson, to this side. 319 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,800 Again, Calvin Peterson, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneer. 320 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Played pretty well when he was here. 321 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800 And he signed on with Kansas City. 322 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:47,800 Well, I think he went to the Rams from here, and he was doing some acting stuff. 323 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,800 Let's listen to Jerry Seaman. 324 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:55,800 Personal foul, clipping, number 81, offense. 325 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:05,800 Still the call against Ike Hagen, and now it brings up a second down and 13 for the Buccaneers with 33 seconds to go here in the first quarter. 326 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,800 No score, Tampa Bay and Kansas City. 327 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,800 We'll keep you up to date on that Chicago-St. Louis game. 328 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,800 It gets underway at 2 o'clock. 329 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800 Davis and Bell in the eye behind Doug Williams. 330 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,800 Long count. 331 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,800 Handoff goes to Bell right up the middle. 332 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,800 And he has brought down again Art Still on the tackle at the 35-yard line. 333 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,800 Pick up on the play of about three, and it brings up third down and long. 334 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,800 Maybe the last play of the quarter. 335 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:37,800 Again, the no-shows this afternoon doesn't look like a great deal because this game is not being televised locally. 336 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,800 It was not sold out far enough in advance. 337 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,800 So we don't expect the no-shows to be that great here this afternoon. 338 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,800 Plus, it is such an important game. 339 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,800 And that's going to be the end of the first quarter here at Tampa Stadium with a score. 340 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,800 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 341 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Mark Champion and Dave Kisere back with you at Tampa Stadium. 342 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,800 We begin second-quarter action. 343 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:57,800 No score here at Tampa Stadium. 344 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,800 A rainy afternoon. 345 00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,800 It is still raining. 346 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,800 It's a light rain, but it is a constant rain. 347 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,800 And the weatherman says that will be the case all afternoon. 348 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:11,800 Statistically, the Bucs were 67 yards rushing to Kansas City 2, passing the Bucs 0, Kansas City 39. 349 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,800 Not a lot of action. 350 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,800 Very much hampered by the weather. 351 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 So it is third down and 21 yards to go. 352 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,800 The ball back at the Tampa Bay 35-yard line. 353 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,800 And off goes to George Ragsdale. 354 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,800 He's caught in the backfield and dropped. 355 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,800 Arch still. 356 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,800 The rookie out of Kentucky, number one draft choice. 357 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,800 Or second-year man rather out of Kentucky. 358 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,800 And the loss is all the way back to the 30-yard line. 359 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:41,800 So still has been a big factor today defensively for Kansas City. 360 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800 Brings up fourth down and 26. 361 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,800 Tom Blanchard will come in to do the punting now. 362 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,800 And with the rain, it's always going to be a bit scary. 363 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,800 JT Smith is the neat man back at the 40-yard line. 364 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,800 We already mentioned he's had two returns this year for touchdown. 365 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:03,800 And now Dana Napsinger says we want a drier ball. 366 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,800 So they ball the whistle and they'll get a new football on. 367 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,800 We're going to see a lot of that this afternoon. 368 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,800 Just underway, second quarter, 14-21 remaining. 369 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,800 The Bucks and Chiefs. 370 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:15,800 The Bucks had a good chance to score. 371 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,800 They had the ball down at the 15-yard line of Kansas City. 372 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,800 And then the field goal attempt. 373 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,800 The snap went right through Tom Blanchard's hand. 374 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,800 And it ended up with nothing. 375 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,800 We're ready to go. 376 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,800 Napsinger, good snap, good right, and it's almost blocked. 377 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,800 Blanchard, it was partially tipped. 378 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,800 JT Smith, a fair catch in the 40. 379 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,800 The referee says it was partially tipped. 380 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,800 And therefore no penalty. 381 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,800 He called it immediately. 382 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,800 The referee called it immediately. 383 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,800 So it is a 30-yard front that time by Tom Blanchard. 384 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,800 And he's nearly got it blocked. 385 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,800 With the score, Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 386 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,800 We'll be back. 387 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,800 Steve Grogan has just hit Horace Ivory on a six-yard touchdown pass. 388 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,800 So New England now leading Minnesota 7-6. 389 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,800 That game is in the first quarter at New England. 390 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,800 Baltimore 10-0 over the New York Giants. 391 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,800 That's at the end of the first quarter at East Rutherford. 392 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,800 San Francisco 7, Atlanta 3. 393 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,800 That's at the end of the first quarter. 394 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,800 Nothing in on the Cleveland Cincinnati game or the Buffalo Pittsburgh game. 395 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,800 Both of those contests are in progress. 396 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:29,800 On Saturday, in case you missed it, the Jets over Miami 27-24 397 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,800 and Green Bay finished with an 18-13 victory over Detroit. 398 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,800 So the New York Jets finished the season at eight wins and eight losses. 399 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,800 The Miami Dolphins, who have already clinched the AFC East, 400 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,800 finish at 10-6. 401 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,800 Green Bay, with that victory over Detroit, ends its season at 5-11. 402 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,800 And Detroit, with one of its worst records in the club's history, 403 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:57,800 finishes at two wins and 14 losses. 404 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,800 Jerry Green was the man who nearly got in there to block that punt of Tom Blanchard. 405 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,800 But luckily enough, he didn't do so. 406 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,800 So Kansas City has good field position to begin their drive. 407 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,800 First and 10 at their own 40-yard line. 408 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,800 14-02 remaining in the first half, and we have no score. 409 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,800 The ranking of scores, Mark Baltimore has got three more points 410 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,800 and they lead the Giants 10-0 in the first period. 411 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,800 Minnesota trails New England 7-6 in the first period. 412 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,800 San Francisco 7-3 over Atlanta, also in the first period. 413 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,800 We had a couple of games played yesterday. 414 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,800 Green Bay beat Detroit, and the New York Jets ended up 8-8 on the season 415 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,800 as they beat Miami. 416 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,800 It's not like Lou Michaels got a year extension on his contract. 417 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,800 That's one of those win the contract, keep the contract going. 418 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,800 It is really coming down now. 419 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,800 The rain seems to be coming down a little bit harder. 420 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,800 And it is first and 10 for Kansas City at the 40-yard line. 421 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,800 The Buccaneers defensively, Wally Chambers, Randy Crowder, 422 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,800 and Leroy Selman across the line. 423 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,800 David Lewis, Dewey Selman, Richard Wood, and Cecil Johnson are the linebackers. 424 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:01,800 Jarrett White and Danny Reese at the corners, and Jeffrey Brown, Mark Cotting, are the safety. 425 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,800 And the crowd is up in arms about something, I think a long time out. 426 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,800 So the Chiefs break out of the huddle. 427 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,800 JT Smith to the left side, and Henry Marshall lines up to the right side. 428 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,800 The Baccalaureate splits, Ted McKnight, and Earl again. 429 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,800 Play fake. Fuller has caught it. 430 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,800 Leroy Selman has it at the 33-yard line. 431 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,800 That will be a sack. 432 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,800 Leroy Selman wrapping. 433 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,800 And Cecil Johnson was in there just to make sure. 434 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,800 So a loss is marked at the 34-yard line. 435 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,800 They really marked it up a little bit, I thought. 436 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,800 That is the 11th sack of the year for Leroy Selman, who by the way, of course, 437 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,800 is a member of the 1979 MFC Pro Bowl team, a starter at right defensive end. 438 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,800 And certainly that's the 38th sack for the Bucs. 439 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,800 They really haven't done much in the way of turnovers. 440 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,800 That interception was the first one since Jereth Weiser stepped it against the New York Giants four weeks ago. 441 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,800 Curtis Jordan, the nickelback, on second and 15 from the 35-yard line. 442 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,800 McKnight, the handoff, and Wally Chambers has him at the 35-yard line. 443 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:10,800 Wally simply dove over his man and made the tackle. 444 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,800 Brings up a third down, and still about 15 yards to go. 445 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,800 So the Buccaneers defensively are really doing a job. 446 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,800 So I would like to welcome our listeners around the world who are listening to today's game 447 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:29,800 over the American Forces Radio Network, which serves over 300 stations in 20 countries around the world. 448 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,800 So we're international. 449 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,800 Would you like me to say something in Polish or something? 450 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,800 Yeah, let's get a little Polish. 451 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,800 Some of the Eastern European countries. 452 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,800 Third and fourth day in from the Kansas, 30-36, the fuller dropping deep to pass. 453 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,800 Big right, gets away from it, and throws. 454 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:50,800 The pass is overthrown, intended for Tony Samuel to tie it in at the Buccaneer 40-yard line. 455 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,800 Again, the Buccaneer pass rush is better than we've ever seen it. 456 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,800 Landy Clowder put on the big rush along with Wally Chambers. 457 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,800 Yeah, those three guys, there was no blitzing that time, 458 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,800 and the five-blockers for the chiefs plus the back could not keep them out. 459 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:05,800 They were just pushing. 460 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:11,800 All three men were double-teamed, and they still put enough pressure on Fuller to force them out of the pocket. 461 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:17,800 Again, very, very bad wet conditions of all just get it to a very harmless season ground over the head of the receiver. 462 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,800 Bob Ruff to do the fronting now. 463 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,800 It's a high snap, but he's going to get it away, and he booms this one. 464 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,800 Holy mackerel, Danny Reese all the way back at the 8-yard line. 465 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:27,800 Takes it there to the 10. 466 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,800 Danny to the 15, and up close to the 19-yard line. 467 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,800 Bob Ruff really nailed that one. 468 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:40,800 57 yards on the front by Bob Ruff, who came in today as the National Football League leading cutter. 469 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,800 So 12 minutes and 36 seconds remain here on the first half of play. 470 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,800 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 471 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,800 Again, we will have live updates for you on the Chicago-St. Louis game from Soldier Field, 472 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:58,800 where the temperature, the wind chill factor, is minus 9. 473 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,800 And that certainly could have as much an effect on that game as the rain is on this game. 474 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,800 Speaking of the Bears, George Hallis Jr., the president at 12, passed away today, 475 00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,800 and I think the Bears will really have something to play for on his behalf of his memory. 476 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,800 First and 10 at the 19-yard line for the Buccaneers, 477 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:20,800 Ekwood and Bell in the backfield, and Ricky Bell gets the call across the 20, up to the 22-yard line. 478 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,800 And the stop made by the middle of the Kansas City line, Art still in there. 479 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,800 He's made about every tackle this afternoon, it seems like, for Kansas City. 480 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,800 He's one of the better defensive linemen of the National Football League, and only in his second year. 481 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,800 Morris Owens now coming in to flanker, and he replaces Larry Muckert. 482 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,800 A lot of people thought that the key matchup was a big me, 483 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,800 Darryl Carlton at the right to offensive tackle, number 70 against Art Still, 484 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,800 because Still is the power in their defense, and Darryl Carlton's got to play good football. 485 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,800 Second and seven, Tampa Bay 23-yard line, Morris Owens to the left, Ike Eagans, split right. 486 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,800 Dillon Ekwood in the backfield now. 487 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,800 Handoff, Jerry Ekwood, across the 25, and he's driven back. 488 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:10,800 And the tackle made by Mike Bell, so it brings up a third down play now, third and about four. 489 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,800 Larry Muckert comes back in, carries in the play now from John McKay. 490 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,800 We've not seen the ball thrown in the air at all, or well, very much today, very seldom. 491 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:28,800 And the ones that are going to be put up are going to be very safe passes, because it is raining, the ball is wet. 492 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:35,800 And Doug Complain at a couple of six, and Doug's 0 for 2, and very, very strong on the ground so far. 493 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:39,800 Third down and four, Buccadere 25, the motion goes Larry Muckert to the right side now. 494 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:44,800 Doug Williams to pass on third down, he's got protection, unloads it complete to the 35, 495 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:51,800 breaking free to the 36-yard line goes Jerry Ekwood, and that's good enough for a Buccadere first down. 496 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:57,800 Out of the backfield, a kind of high percentage passes, 11 yards on the completion. 497 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,800 Mark, it was a very slow, slow-moving play. 498 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,800 I saw Jerry Ekwood, I happened to watch him, and he kind of checked blocks and really didn't do much, 499 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,800 and then just drifted along, encircled out of the backfield from the left-hand side, 500 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:16,800 and was just not quite into the middle, but a little simple slip of the wrist by Doug Williams, and a good completion. 501 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,800 Ekwood comes very near breaking loose for a long gainer of that play. 502 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,800 Manu Malayuna on the tackle, first down, pitch back to Ekwood, 503 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:30,800 and he is horse-collared about the 36-yard line by Sylvester Hicks, the right defensive end. 504 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,800 Very little of any gain that time, brings up second down and about 10 yards to go. 505 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,800 10-16 remaining in the half, we have no score from Tampa Stadium. 506 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:44,800 Speaking of Manu Malayuna, Jay Randolph was telling me when he did a Kansas City-Seattle game, 507 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,800 he had his hands full with him at Teotihuacopo or whatever, that's one of your favorites. 508 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,800 Manu Tuiyasatopo, something like maybe all rookie teams. 509 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,800 That's the mouthful talking about both of those guys. 510 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,800 Larry Mucker and Ike Higgins both line up to the left side now, and second at 10. 511 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,800 I think the rain has shifted, the wind is kind of blowing it in here, we're getting bits and pieces of it. 512 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,800 Mucker goes in motion to the right side, play fake, Doug Williams just gets it away, 513 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:14,800 and the receiver, Jerry Ekwood, slipped and fell down at the 45-yard line. 514 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,800 The coaches are calling for some kind of penalty, but Jerry simply fell down, 515 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,800 and Doug Williams nearly got waylaid, he was lucky to get the football away, 516 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,800 and it brings up a third down at 10. 517 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,800 Kansas City brings on their pass prevent, Tim Collier comes in the game. 518 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,800 Cal Peterson was coming from the left linebacker spot, and it's interesting to look at the statistics. 519 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,800 The leading sacker for the defense is Whitney Paul. 520 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,800 Whitney Paul just went on injured reserve with a broken arm, but he's the leading sacker with nine, 521 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,800 so that indicates they do bring their backers a great deal. 522 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,800 Also running an extra downline, I think it's Don Ferry, who started at those tackles. 523 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,800 Third and 10 from the Buccaneer 36-yard line, the back flip. 524 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,800 Rolling out to the right side is Doug Williams on the keeper, designed play, 525 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,800 he's up to the 45, he's not going to get to the sixth, second effort, he made a shot here! 526 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,800 Up to the 45-yard line, it looked like he was about two yards short, 527 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:17,800 and he simply threats out that six-foot-four inch frame, and he may have picked up the first down. 528 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,800 That'll be very close, and those of the ball have to get just across the 45-yard line, 529 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,800 and let's see if he got it. 530 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:33,800 They will mark it down, it was a designed rollout by Doug Williams, a bootleg, 531 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,800 and we're going to take a look at the sixth as they are marked down, 532 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,800 it looks like it is first down for the Buccaneer! 533 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:47,800 Good second and third effort that time by Doug Williams, 534 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,800 as he picked it up on his own. 535 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,800 First and 10 out to the Tampa Bay 46-yard line, 536 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,800 and we have 9.23 remaining in the first half, and the clock is running. 537 00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,800 Jimmy Giles was an excellent block that time, pinning hard still into the line of scrimmage, 538 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,800 and Doug kind of left Greg Roberts who was out in front of him, 539 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,800 and allowed Herb Christopher a chance to come in and make a tackle, 540 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,800 but you mentioned he stretched his long six-foot-four inch body, 541 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,800 and just got the nose of the ball past the first down six. 542 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,800 Two tight ends in, Obradovich and Giles, Morris Owens, the lone wide receiver, 543 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,800 Johnny Davis and Ricky Bell in the backfield on first down. 544 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,800 Handoff goes to Bell, he's hit right at the line of scrimmage, and dropped by Hart still again, 545 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,800 and Hart is really winning the battle over Darryl Carlton right now. 546 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:36,800 Brings up a second down and nine, 8.48 remaining here in the first half, no score. 547 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:43,800 And the field continues to get soaked, but again, it is a very, very good field as far as drainage is concerned, 548 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,800 and it would be quite a while before we really saw a lot of squash out there. 549 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,800 I remember the Atlanta Falcon game last year was like that though. 550 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,800 Second and nine from the Buccaneer 47-yard line. 551 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,800 Wide receivers, Hagan and Mucker to either side now, Bell and Davis in the backfield. 552 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,800 Doug Williams, the count, handoff deep to Bell. 553 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,800 He's trying to get off the left side, and he is not going to make it. 554 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,800 He is stuck. 555 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,800 Tom Howard on the tackle along with Gary Spaney, the inside right linebacker. 556 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,800 And now the Buccaneers are faced with another third down, long situation. 557 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,800 And the Chiefs fling in their pass prevent defense now. 558 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:29,800 Tim Collier comes on the field along with Don Perish as they go to four down linemen. 559 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,800 And Mike Bell comes in at right defensive end. 560 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:37,800 The Bucs have made three out of six third down conversions, and that's, again, a pretty good percentage. 561 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:43,800 Looks like they detected something with the rush, and that's why Doug kept the ball last time on the third and long situation. 562 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,800 Third and ten from the Bucc-46. 563 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,800 Eckwood and Bell are now the running backs. 564 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:49,800 They are split behind Doug Williams. 565 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,800 Getting good protection. 566 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,800 Over the middle out there is Jimmy Giles. 567 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,800 It's intercepted by Tim Collier at the 25, across the 30, 40. 568 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:03,800 Midfield down to the 45, Collier to the 40, and he's all the way down to the Buccaneer, 34 yard line. 569 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,800 Big made, Darryl Carlson on the tackle. 570 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,800 Double coverage on the tight end. 571 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:11,800 Jimmy Giles and Tim Collier merely stepped up, and I believe we got an injured player down. 572 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,800 It looks like Darryl Carlson. 573 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,800 Yeah, that would be real trouble, and it looks like Revis is also limping. 574 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,800 Dave Revis limping off the field. 575 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,800 Boy, you lose those two guys, and you got real problems. 576 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,800 Big Meade is laying down on the turf at about the 34 yard line. 577 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:33,800 He is replacing Charlie Hanna, who's on injured reserve, would not be eligible until the NFC championship game, should the Buccaneers make it that far. 578 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:39,800 I think we'd see Darryl Austin replace Darryl at the right offensive tackle. 579 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,800 Phil at the score, Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 580 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,800 We'll be back. 581 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:52,800 On the scoreboard of the National Football League, in the second quarter, Stan Buck a one yard run, so it's Atlanta 10, San Francisco 7. 582 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,800 At New England, as we told you earlier, Grogan to Ivory for that six yard touchdown pass. 583 00:47:57,800 --> 00:47:59,800 New England now leading by the score of 7 to 6. 584 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,800 That's at the end of the first quarter. 585 00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,800 In the first quarter, Brian Syp to Logan for a 33 yard touchdown pass. 586 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,800 Cleveland out in front of Cincinnati, 6 to nothing. 587 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,800 Bradshaw to Swan for a 20 yard touchdown pass, and Pittsburgh is leading Buffalo 7 to nothing. 588 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,800 That's at the end of the first quarter. 589 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:24,800 Also in the National Football League, getting underway in about 10 minutes or so, Philadelphia will be at Houston. 590 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:33,800 St. Louis will be at Chicago, a very pivotal game as far as that NFC centralization race is concerned, as we have already explained. 591 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,800 Later, Washington is at Dallas, and that game will be heard over many of the same AFRTS stations. 592 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,800 New Orleans will be at Los Angeles, and Seattle at Oakland. 593 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:50,800 Monday night, Denver is at San Diego. 594 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:56,800 Darryl Carlton is up and off on the sideline under his own power, so that is good news, and we'll try to get the word. 595 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,800 He's still standing up along the sideline, trying to shake it off. 596 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,800 So we'll try to get the initial word for you on Darryl Carlton and whether he'll be back in there. 597 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:12,800 But Kansas City has excellent field position, first and 10 at the Buccaneer 34 yard line, and this is the first big break of the game. 598 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,800 It looks like Darryl took a shot on the right shoulder and maybe to the head when he went down on the turn. 599 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,800 Henry Marshall to the left side, JT Smith is flanked right. 600 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,800 The running backs behind the rookie Steve Fuller are Earl Gant and Seth McKnight. 601 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:33,800 On first down, Fuller, play fake, over the middle, fifth and almost intercepted by Danny Reese. 602 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:50,800 Nearly intercepted by Reese at the 18 yard line, a pass well overthrown, and it brings up second down at 10 for Kansas City. 603 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:57,800 7-14 remaining, second quarter, Seth McKnight comes off the field now, and Horace Felton out of Southeast Louisiana, 604 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,800 in his second year, a free agent, played in the Canadian Football League, is on the field. 605 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:11,800 Second and 10, 34 yard line, Steve Fuller to pass, getting pressure, swings it out to Gant, 35, 30, Gant down over 25 yard line, 606 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:18,800 very close to the first down, Leroy Salmon on the stop, sitting on where they mark it down, just inside the 25 yard line. 607 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:24,800 That will make it a bit short of the first down, and it brings up third and about one. 608 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:32,800 Bill Kohler comes on the field now for the Buccaneers, and he replaces Wally Chambers. 609 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:41,800 So Bill Kohler is on, and he lines up there along with Randy Crowder and Leroy Salmon. 610 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:48,800 As Wally comes along the sidelines now, third down and about a yard, 6.33 o'clock running. 611 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,800 Inside is Henry Marshall. 612 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:58,800 McKnight back in, McKnight gets the handoff, and the first down, he breaks free, gets down to the 19 yard line. 613 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:04,800 He got away from Cedric Brown, and Mark Conte had to make the tackle, but it is a Kansas City first down, 614 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,800 all the way down to the Tampa Bay 18 yard line. 615 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,800 Well, you know, Cedric didn't just try to stop him in the hole and didn't really put his arms around for a tackle. 616 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:18,800 He instead lowered his shoulder, and McKnight was able to bounce off, and necessitated Mark Conte coming over 617 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:23,800 to actually grab him and bring him down. Wally Chambers is now back in, and Bill Kohler coming out. 618 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,800 It looked like he was just shaken up a little bit, but Wally is very much back in there. 619 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,800 J.P. Smith back in at a wide receiver. Gamp and Belton are now the running backs, 620 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:37,800 from first and 10th of the 19 yard line. Gamp and Belton are behind Steve Fuller. 621 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:43,800 Handoff play fake, and Fuller goes down, and will be down at the 24 yard line. 622 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:49,800 David Lewis put on a tremendous pass watch that time as they shot the linebacker, 623 00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:54,800 and it's going to bring up second and long. Randy Clowder also with a good pressure. 624 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,800 Second down at about 16 yards to go now for Kansas City, 625 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,800 and a big first down play for that Buccaneer defense. 626 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,800 Yeah, both they squeezed him, David from the left side, and Randy, although he was the nose man, 627 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:14,800 he took a loop to the right hand side, to the left offensive side, and they put equal pressure on forcing him to go down. 628 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:19,800 Curtis Jordan, the nickel back in there now, on second and 16 from the Buccaneer 25 yard line. 629 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:22,800 5'16 remaining in the half. Steve Fuller inside handoff. 630 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,800 Down to the 20, and about the original line of scrimmage. 631 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,800 So, Neural Gantt, tackle made by Richard Wood. 632 00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,800 So, it's going to bring up a third down at about 10 for Kansas City. 633 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,800 Wouldn't it be nice if they come away with absolutely nothing. 634 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:45,800 Neural Gantt looks like quite a politician. He's in there picking up the Bucs defensive man. 635 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,800 He picked up Cedric. He picked up Richard Wood. He must want to be a nice guy about it. 636 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,800 You don't usually see too much of that. 637 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,800 He's a rookie, maybe that's the reason, out of Missouri, if that's where I'm by choice. 638 00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,800 Then we march over the left, J.T. Smith. 639 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,800 This flank to the right side, 4'37 on third down and 8 from the 17. 640 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,800 Fuller to pass. Out of the backfield to Gantt. 641 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,800 He is hit. Gets away from one man, but not the other. 642 00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,800 Great play. David Lawson from the initial contact. 643 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,800 And then Danny Reeks came in to finish it off. 644 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:19,800 Randy Clatter also helping out. The ball is back at about the 22 yard line. 645 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,800 Lots of five on that play. 646 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,800 So flank to fourth down, 13. 647 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,800 And we're going to see one of the old men of this team, Yon Centero, 648 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,800 to attempt a field goal. And the field is really becoming kind of soggy now. 649 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:38,800 There's some puddles out of the field in the middle. 650 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:42,800 The holder is Steve Fuller, the quarterback, remember. 651 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:48,800 It will be a 39 yard field goal attempt by Yon Centero. 652 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,800 Fuller to hold it. 653 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,800 The tap is a good one. Get a root block. 654 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,800 Still carrying though, and it is not going to be the blocked field goal. 655 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,800 Nothing going, and the Buccaneers will take over. 656 00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:03,800 And that fires up the crowd. 657 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,800 Blocked by Leroy Goleman. Leroy Goleman with the score. 658 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,800 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 659 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:13,800 We'll be back on the Buccaneer Radio Network. 660 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:20,800 You may have heard mentioned on the Buccaneer Network that Chicago Bears president George Halus Jr. died. 661 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:25,800 Now we emphasize this is George Halus Jr., the son of George Halus Sr. 662 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,800 But anyway, George Jr., dying of a heart attack at the age of 54, 663 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,800 his father is the owner of that National Football League team, Chicago Bears. 664 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:41,800 Halus Jr. had a role in the Bears' operation for 30 years, and he became president of the team in 1963. 665 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,800 And that's the year that Bears won their last NFL championship. 666 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:51,800 Halus Jr. also was a member of the executive committee of the National Football League Management Council. 667 00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:58,800 So George Halus Jr., dead of a heart attack at the age of 54. 668 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,800 Two games of the National Football League on Saturday. 669 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,800 The Green Bay Packers over the Detroit Lions 18-13 at Pontiac, Michigan, 670 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,800 with Todd Burney kicking four field goals and Eric Torgelson running one yard for a touchdown 671 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,800 to give the Packers an 18-13 season-ending victory over the Lions. 672 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,800 So let's see if that fires up the offense. 673 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,800 Darrell Carlton is back in there at right offense attack, and that is good news. 674 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,800 So he was just shaken up. 675 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,800 Joey Eckwood and Ricky Bell will be in the backfield for Doug Lee. 676 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,800 And first and 10 is a 22-yard line. 677 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:36,800 Let's see if this range-o crowd can get fired up again for this offense and really get this team going. 678 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,800 The Buccaneers on their first offense at drive, 679 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,800 they were all the way down to the Kansas City 15-yard line and came away with nothing 680 00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,800 and a bad handling of the snap on the field goal attempt. 681 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,800 But Kansas City's field goal was blocked by Leroy Selman. 682 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,800 First and 10 from the 22-yard line. 683 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:54,800 Eckwood is in the slot. 684 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,800 In motion goes Larry Mocker to the right side. 685 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,800 And off Ricky Bell. He's got room to the left side. 686 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,800 Can he turn the corner? Yes. 25. 687 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:08,800 Up to the 28-yard line goes Ricky Bell, forced out by M.L. Carter, the right quarterback. 688 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,800 3.33 remaining here in the first half of play. 689 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:17,800 It has been raining. It started about an hour before game time and has not let up. 690 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,800 Second down, 3. Pick up a 7 that time by Ricky Bell. 691 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,800 He has 14 carries for 60 yards already. 692 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,800 He needs 74 to reach 1,200 on the season. 693 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:32,800 So he's 14 shy and 1,200 would be a great year for Ricky. 694 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,800 Morris Owens in his flanker and the split at Ikegan. 695 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,800 Close to the left side now. Eckwood again in a wing position to the left. 696 00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,800 Morris Owens goes in motion right side. 697 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,800 Hand off up the middle to Ricky Bell and he can't fight off Mike Bell. 698 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,800 So the two Bells ring each other at the 30-yard line. 699 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,800 It's going to bring up third down at about 2. 700 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:58,800 The Buccaneers will like to get down so you'll get something on the scoreboard going into the locker room at halftime. 701 00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,800 3.15 on the clock running. 702 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,800 You know in weather like this you want to get any kind of score at all. 703 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:08,800 You don't exactly if you get a touchdown or a field goal or something like that, you can't exactly sit on it. 704 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:15,800 But very often one or two scores can hold up just because it's so tough to get an offense going in this kind of stuff. 705 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,800 So the Chiefs go with four down linemen. 706 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,800 Manu Maliguta comes out of the game for Kansas City. 707 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,800 It is third down at 2 from the 30-yard line. 708 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,800 In motion out of the backfield goes Ricky Bell. 709 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:28,800 The pitch goes to Joey Eckwood. 710 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:33,800 That's up side. 35-40. He's got a little midfield. 711 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,800 He's got the football. He's got the football and Kansas City has it. 712 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:43,800 Jerry Eckwood, the ball simply fell out of his arm. 713 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:48,800 And Kansas City's M.L. Carter, the right cornerback, makes the recovery. 714 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,800 A huge hole and Jerry Eckwood went all the way down to the Kansas City 28-yard line. 715 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:55,800 And the ball simply came out of his arms. 716 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:59,800 A 44-yard run. I don't believe anybody touched it. 717 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,800 No, I think he had a blocker, Jim O'Bradovich, if I'm not mistaken. 718 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:10,800 And O'Bradovich, when he were rumping elbows and he looked like he tried to change hands, the ball popped loose. 719 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,800 And he simply lost the football. 720 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,800 Boy, the Buccaneers continue to make crucial turnovers. 721 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,800 We've had an interception, now the fumble. 722 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,800 And all are what appear to be good offensive drives for the Buccaneers. 723 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:27,800 So they continue to make the kind of mistakes that have cost them football games the last three weeks. 724 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,800 The defense has been really holding its own. 725 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,800 They've been playing outstanding, but you just can't leave them out there forever. 726 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:34,800 And you've got to give them a little blow. 727 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,800 They do their job and they like to sit down and take a rest. 728 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,800 And all of a sudden, the ball's turned over. 729 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:46,800 They've got to strap the hats back on and come on out and try and hold again and force the turnover or force the Chiefs to kick the weight to them. 730 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:51,800 You know, John McKay has said about his defense that they have not scored off of big plays. 731 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:57,800 They have not forced a big play where they have scored on an interception, a fumble recovery like Leroy Selman did earlier in the year. 732 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:58,800 Earlier in the year. 733 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,800 Mike Washington's touchdown against Baltimore was a factor. 734 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,800 This might be the kind of game where they really need that type of score. 735 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:05,800 No doubt about it. 736 00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,800 I think they've turned the ball over 11 times the last two weeks and they haven't turned it over. 737 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:15,800 But once the defense hasn't turned it over, I don't think he meant a derogatory towards the defense. 738 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:22,800 But they were getting the big plays, the Leroy Selman recovery for a fumble, for a touchdown against Detroit, if I recall. 739 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,800 And then Mike Washington's 49-yard interception for a touchdown. 740 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,800 You've got to get that kind of stuff, Mark. 741 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,800 You've got to get a block kick into the end. 742 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,800 And you've got to get an easy touchdown every so often because you just can't depend on slugging it out game after game after game. 743 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:41,800 And maybe an easy touchdown, maybe a pickoff, a bobble, somebody takes it off the quarterback's hand or something. 744 00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,800 And that may be what it's going to take. 745 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,800 It is first and 10 Kansas going to get their own 20-yard line. 746 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,800 Two 30-yard remaining here in the first half of play. 747 00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:49,800 No score. 748 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,800 Five receivers, Marshall and Smith to either side. 749 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,800 McKnight and Camp are the running backs. 750 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,800 And off goes McKnight. 751 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:02,800 And he's flipped up and dropped by Mark Contney to strong safety. 752 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,800 Excellent play by Mark Contney. 753 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:14,800 Mark, that was just a super tackle by one of the fine tacklers in football and his support has a strong safety outstanding. 754 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,800 New England continues to lead Minnesota 7-6 in the second period. 755 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:19,800 Cleveland have the early lead. 756 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,800 Pittsburgh 14 and nothing over Buffalo also in the second period. 757 01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,800 Second 11 from the Kansas at 827-yard line. 758 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,800 We're going to get very close to the two-minute warning now. 759 01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:31,800 2-0-4 on the clock running. 760 01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,800 B Fuller in motion goes Henry Marshall. 761 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:35,800 And off goes to Ted McKnight. 762 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:36,800 He tries to turn the corner. 763 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:37,800 He's flipping on the field. 764 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,800 He's not going to get much of anything. 765 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,800 Mark Contney again on the stop. 766 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,800 We are at the two-minute warning with the score. 767 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:44,800 Tampa Bay nothing. 768 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:45,800 Kansas City nothing. 769 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:46,800 We'll be back. 770 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,800 We told you about the Packers-Lyons game and the fact that Detroit finishes at 2-14. 771 01:00:51,800 --> 01:01:02,800 The one good bit of information out of that is that the Lions are absolutely assured of the first choice in next year's college football draft. 772 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,800 The other game played on Saturday, the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins. 773 01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:18,800 And Bruce Harper caught a 72-yard touchdown pass from Richard Todd and then set up another touchdown with a 52-yard kickoff return to lead the New York Jets to a 27-24 victory over the Dolphins. 774 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:23,800 That win is the Jets' fourth straight and it enables them to end the season at 8-8. 775 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:29,800 The Dolphins, who already had quenched the AFC Eastern title, will take a 10-6 record into the playoffs. 776 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:41,800 The Dolphins appear to be driving for a winning touchdown or at least a game-tying field goal in the closing seconds, but quarterback Don Strauch fumbled inside the Jets' 10-yard line with 36 seconds left. 777 01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:52,800 Earlier, the Dolphins scored on a 20-yard pass from Strauch to rookie Tony Nathan, a 3-yard smash by Larry Zonka, a 1-yard plunge by backup fullback Bob Torrey, and a field goal. 778 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,800 It is beginning to get a bit flashy down there on the field. 779 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,800 We noticed that on the last series by Kansas City. 780 01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:00,800 It is 3rd and 10. 781 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:08,800 The ball at the Kansas City 28-yard line, Curtis Jordan on the extra man now in the secondary for Tampa Bay, replacing Cecil Johnson. 782 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,800 As we are down to a minute 55 in the first half, no score. 783 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,800 And both teams have had a shot, had a field goal. 784 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,800 Kansas City was blocked by Leroy Selman. 785 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:20,800 The Buccaneers was missed because they never got it off. 786 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,800 It was a bad snap, or not a snap, but the ball was mishandled by Tom Blanchard. 787 01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,800 Mark, we keep talking about the mishandling. 788 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:32,800 It was also a little bit wide, so we'll give part of it to Blanchard and part of it to Steve Wilkins for the snaps. 789 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:33,800 It was a little bit wide. 790 01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:37,800 Henry Marshall to the left, JT Smith to the right, tight end Tony Samuel's foot's left now. 791 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,800 Fuller hands off McKnight. 792 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:47,800 He gets a beautiful tackle made at the 33 by Curtis Jordan, saving a possible long gainer by Deb McKnight. 793 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,800 Brings up a punting situation now. 794 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:54,800 And the area that Bob Breck will have to stand in as we look down is a bit wet. 795 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,800 It's back to some water standing. 796 01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,800 And Danny Reich will be the deep man. 797 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,800 There's a timeout call by the Buccaneers. 798 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:05,800 Let's call 15 seconds for station identification on the Bucks radio network. 799 01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:18,800 This is the American Forces radio and television service. 800 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,800 The Buccaneers called their first timeout. 801 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:26,800 They want to save the clock and hopefully get down to at least field goal range before this half ends. 802 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,800 A minute 44 to go. 803 01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:30,800 It is fourth and sixth for Kansas City. 804 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,800 Danny Reich standing back at his 15-yard line. 805 01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,800 Grubbs' last punt was 57 yards. 806 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,800 He really nailed it his last time. 807 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,800 But he's standing in a kind of sloshy area today. 808 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:41,800 That's right. 809 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,800 Reich is a little more respected. 810 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:45,800 Awaiting the snap now. 811 01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,800 Grubbs keeps the towel on his hand and just tosses it away. 812 01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:49,800 Good snap. 813 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,800 Grubbs gets it away. 814 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,800 Very high punt once again. 815 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,800 Danny Reich over at the 20, takes it there. 816 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,800 Turns inside at the 25 and goes down at the 27-yard line. 817 01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:01,800 That's where the Buccaneers take over. 818 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,800 With a minute 33 remaining here in the first half. 819 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:10,800 46-yard punt and a seven-yard return by Danny Reich, who holds the National Football League record for most punt returns in a season. 820 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:12,800 He broke that earlier this year. 821 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,800 Broke Eddie Brown's record. 822 01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:16,800 He's now up to 68. 823 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:17,800 He started with 64. 824 01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:19,800 It's an ongoing record. 825 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,800 We saluted him last week when he broke the record. 826 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:27,800 But not a lot of NFL records held by many of the Bucs. 827 01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,800 And certainly Danny is the first record holder for the Bucs. 828 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,800 Well, we noticed that Jerry Eckwood remains in the backfield for the Buccaneers. 829 01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,800 Which is always kind of nice. 830 01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:37,800 First and 10, 27-yard line. 831 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,800 In motion goes Larry Mucker to the right side. 832 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,800 Pitch left to Ricky Bell. 833 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,800 Gets good blocking. 834 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,800 But he's going to be hauled out of bounds by Gary Svante. 835 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,800 Inside right linebacker. 836 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:52,800 I tell you, they call a penalty on Cedric Brown earlier. 837 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:58,800 Svante was tossing Ricky around there with about five yards out of bounds. 838 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,800 He brings up a second down and nine. 839 01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:05,800 The clock stopped with a minute 23 remaining in the first half. 840 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,800 Morris Owens in, replacing Larry Mucker. 841 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,800 He'll carry in the play from John McKay. 842 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:12,800 The rain continues to fall. 843 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:14,800 And it is taking its toll on the field. 844 01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:15,800 Good drainage or not. 845 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,800 They're starting to get a little bit of standing water, 846 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,800 particularly between the 40s, the 45-yard line, and between the hash marks. 847 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,800 Ike Hagens to the left side. 848 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:24,800 And Morris Owens flanks right. 849 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,800 The back's in an eye. 850 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:27,800 Bell and Eckwood. 851 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,800 Doug Williams takes a deep drop. 852 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:30,800 Screen pass set up beautifully. 853 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,800 30, 35, 40. 854 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,800 And a first down for the Buccaneers. 855 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,800 Jerry Eckwood on the screen pass up to the 44-yard line. 856 01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:40,800 And the Bucs are going to call for the client out. 857 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:41,800 They're second. 858 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:42,800 I still made the tackle. 859 01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,800 He was all the way downfield to make it. 860 01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,800 They have excellent speed. 861 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,800 And with a minute 12 to go, the Bucs will call their second time out. 862 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,800 Doug Williams coming across to the sideline now. 863 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,800 It is first and 10 at the Tampa Bay 44-yard line. 864 01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:58,800 So they still have a ways to go to get in field goal range. 865 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,800 Jerry Eckwood also coming out after a fine block. 866 01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,800 It looks like Rigsdale is getting some instructions going to go in. 867 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:10,800 But Eckwood with a fine block on that leading the way. 868 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,800 Steve Wilson also. 869 01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,800 So it worked out beautifully. 870 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,800 The Buccaneers have not used that screen pass a great deal this year. 871 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:24,800 But it was used effectively in the games that they have used it. 872 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:31,800 Also the backs coming out of the backfield have been very effective against San Francisco. 873 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:34,800 Jerry Eckwood and George Rigsdale were very effective on those types of passes. 874 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,800 Yeah, right at the end of the game, Rigsdale was, excuse me, 875 01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,800 Mike Ray was using them a great deal and just showed what they were capable of doing 876 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,800 if they were able to do it a little more often. 877 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,800 Rigsdale in the wing position. 878 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,800 In motion goes Moore, it's going to the right now. 879 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:49,800 And first down and 10. 880 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:51,800 Doug Williams dropping deep to pass. 881 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:53,800 Swings it out to Jimmy Diles. 882 01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:55,800 A big tight end up to the line of skirmishes and that's all. 883 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:59,800 Still again on the tackle. 884 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,800 And a minute one and the clock continues to run. 885 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,800 They'll probably go without a huddle. 886 01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,800 Doug Williams is asking whether he should take a time out. 887 01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:07,800 McKay waves it off. 888 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,800 They've got one time out remaining. 889 01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:10,800 They're going to have a very quick huddle. 890 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,800 They've got enough time, 50-50 seconds. 891 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:14,800 They're bringing another player in. 892 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,800 Johnny Davis quickly on the field and they've got to get somebody off. 893 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,800 George Rigsdale is running off the field. 894 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,800 Plenty of time though, 18 seconds will be a 30-second clock. 895 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,800 Second and nine, 44-yard line. 896 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,800 Hand off inside to Bell. 897 01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,800 Turnels to the midfield, down to the 45-yard line. 898 01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:32,800 And that's going to be good enough for a first down. 899 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,800 Art Still again on the tackle and a time out with 29 seconds. 900 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:40,800 29 seconds remaining here in the first half. 901 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:45,800 The Buccaneers have it first and 10 at the Kansas City 45-yard line. 902 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,800 Well, they've got no time outs remaining, 29 seconds. 903 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:50,800 Ricky Bell with 75 yards. 904 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,800 He has passed the 1,200 yards. 905 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,800 He's got 1,201 and our hand off to Ricky Bell. 906 01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,800 A great, great season and certainly I know he wants to continue on 907 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,800 into the playoffs and perhaps his strong running and fast catching 908 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,800 and blocking is going to leave the Bucs there. 909 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,800 Right now, Mark, with 29 seconds, you've got time for a lot of stuff. 910 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,800 Certainly you're going to have to use somewhat of your out-of-bounds type offense. 911 01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,800 You're going to have to use some short stuff. 912 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,800 Getting out of bounds, getting as much yardage as you can. 913 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,800 I don't think he can throw any passes up the middle. 914 01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,800 If he does, he's got to literally have an additional play called. 915 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,800 He's got to be able to go without a huddle of any kind, 916 01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:29,800 particularly if he does complete the pass. 917 01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,800 And as we look down at that field, it is really, really becoming a quagmire 918 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:34,800 very, very quickly. 919 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,800 A lot of standing water in between the 20s. 920 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,800 A lot of it. 921 01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,800 But so far, Doug has kept his footing. 922 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,800 We haven't seen a lot of flipping going on, so the footing must be pretty good. 923 01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,800 First and 10 at the Kansas City 45-yard line, 924 01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,800 wide receivers to either side for Doug Williams. 925 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:55,800 He looks left, close one out, and it is out of bounds. 926 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,800 A little too much on at that time, and it was ruled out of bounds. 927 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:04,800 The pass was caught, and Mike Haggins was being pulled out from underneath the bench. 928 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,800 He flipped all the way underneath the team bench that time. 929 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,800 ML Carter was over there to defend the play. 930 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,800 Second down, 25 seconds to go. 931 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,800 You know, it's funny when you have a situation like this. 932 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,800 Sometimes you get some muscle pulls because your footing gives out for you, 933 01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,800 but generally you don't get hurt that in games like this because of the lack of velocity. 934 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,800 Nobody is able to come up with full speed because of the bad footing. 935 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,800 You get a lot of sliding, a lot of flipping, but really not that intense hitting. 936 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,800 Eckwood and Bell now in the backfield. 937 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,800 Second down at 10, Kansas City 45-yard line. 938 01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:37,800 Sit back to Jerry Eckwood. 939 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:42,800 He can't find anything, and they have no time out, so we may not get another play. 940 01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:43,800 They're going to have to hurry. 941 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:44,800 Don Perry from the tackle. 942 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:46,800 Kind of a strange call. 943 01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,800 Third down and about 10 yards to go. 944 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,800 12 seconds, 11. 945 01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:54,800 And they may not even have time to line up for a field goal even if they get it off. 946 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:55,800 They're not going to be able to. 947 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:59,800 Williams close one out, out of bounds, intended for Hagan. 948 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,800 Three seconds left on the clock. 949 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:03,800 Well, now he's got a fourth down. 950 01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:08,800 He's going to have to, can't punt it, so he's just going to have to take a, 951 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:12,800 well, Gordon Jones is coming in, so they're going to go for the old bomb. 952 01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:14,800 A.O. Mary to the end zone. 953 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,800 We've seen that a number of times this year. 954 01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,800 Well, since the rule has changed now, you can legally tip the ball forward, 955 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,800 sideways, or anything to another receiver. 956 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:27,800 In the old days, if one receiver tipped it, another receiver couldn't touch the ball 957 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,800 or tip the ball unless an intervening opponent touched it. 958 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,800 But now they've changed it, and so you see an awful lot of this at the end of the game 959 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,800 and the end of the second half. 960 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,800 Gordon Jones, then a flanker. 961 01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,800 Dropping back is Doug Williams. 962 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:40,800 There he goes. 963 01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:41,800 A.O. Mary. 964 01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,800 Down there is the tight end, Jimmy Giles, and it falls incomplete. 965 01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,800 And that's the end of the first half. 966 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,800 Triple coverage on Giles. 967 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:51,800 Actually, no other wide receiver got downfield. 968 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,800 Giles was there all by himself. 969 01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:55,800 That's the end of the first half with a score. 970 01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,800 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 971 01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:05,800 We are ready for third quarter action, and deep for the Buccaneers to receive is Ike Hagan. 972 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:11,800 The kick by Centeroon, line driver coming over for it is Danny Reese at the 10-yard line. 973 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:15,800 He's going to dive to the 20, Reese dives to the 29-yard line, 974 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,800 and I want to tell you that field is very, very wet. 975 01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:19,800 It is 7-0. 976 01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:22,800 The Chicago Bears are leading the St. Louis Cardinals in the first quarter. 977 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,800 We will have some live updates for you a little bit later here in this quarter. 978 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,800 And the Bucs come back out offensively, and we will set it for you. 979 01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,800 Ricky Bell and Johnny Davis are the running backs. 980 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,800 Jimmy Giles, the tight end. 981 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:38,800 Ike Hagan is at one wide receiver. 982 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,800 And the flanker is Larry Mucker. 983 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,800 And it will be interesting to see what the offense is. 984 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,800 Now racing on the field is Jim O'Drattevich. 985 01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:51,800 So they suddenly decided to change plays here in midstream as Ike Hagan comes off the field now, 986 01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,800 so they stick with two tight ends. 987 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,800 Bell and Davis, first and 10, 29-yard line, just underway third quarter. 988 01:11:57,800 --> 01:11:59,800 Larry Mucker in motion to the right. 989 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:05,800 Handoff Bell up the middle, gets three or four yards, up to about the 33-yard line. 990 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,800 Tackle made by Don Perish, the nose tackle. 991 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:14,800 Defensively for Kansas City, starting this half arch-still, Don Perish and Mike Bell on the defensive line. 992 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:19,800 Gal Peterson, Frank Manomaliuna, Gary Spani and Tom Howard, the linebackers. 993 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:21,800 Gary Green, M.L. Carter at the corner. 994 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,800 Gary Barberow, Herb Christopher, eye of the safety. 995 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:29,800 And we notice that we check the offensive line for the Buccaneers. 996 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:34,800 And Darrell Carlson, as we said, is still in there at right tackle for Tampa Bay. 997 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:38,800 But at left tackle, we have Darrell Austin in place of Dave Rebbitt. 998 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,800 Handoff Ricky Bell, 35, up to about the 38-yard line. 999 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,800 Or Jerry Eckwood, rather, I'm sorry. 1000 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:46,800 It's getting tough to see the numbers down there. 1001 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,800 Mike Bell on the tackle. 1002 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,800 We were looking at the left side. 1003 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:56,800 It is Darrell Austin at left tackle, replacing Dave Rebbitt. 1004 01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:06,800 And again, one of the reasons Dave Arch-Still had a superb first half on that side of the field. 1005 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,800 Arch-Still was in it about every tackle. 1006 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,800 Of course, he is normally on Darrell Carlson's side. 1007 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,800 So Dave Rebbitt is out of there. 1008 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,800 We'll check and see if there is a reason for it and let you know. 1009 01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,800 It is 3-1 from the 38-yard line. 1010 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:20,800 Bell and Eckwood in the backfield. 1011 01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,800 Handoff goes to Ricky Bell this time. 1012 01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:23,800 He tries to fling it out. 1013 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:24,800 He'll not do it. 1014 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:26,800 He's got it in the left corner back. 1015 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:28,800 So that will bring on the putting unit. 1016 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:32,800 And this is going to be a hold your breath moment. 1017 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,800 Tom Blanchard had one nearly blocked in the first half. 1018 01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:39,800 And the field is in such horrible shape now. 1019 01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,800 It has to be just a perfect snap coming up here from David Absicker. 1020 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:45,800 So they manage JT Smith. 1021 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,800 He's standing back at about the 30-yard line. 1022 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,800 And the glare off of the water, the lights and the glare on the field, 1023 01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,800 is really kind of tough to see up here now. 1024 01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,800 Tom Blanchard standing back at about his own 20-yard line. 1025 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,800 Awaiting the snap from David Absicker. 1026 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:04,800 And it's a good snap. 1027 01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:05,800 No pressure. 1028 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:06,800 Blanchard gets it away. 1029 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:07,800 It's a wobbler. 1030 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:09,800 Smith backing up at about the 25-yard line. 1031 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:10,800 Takes it there. 1032 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:11,800 Gets it to 30. 1033 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:16,800 And he is blocked out hard by Danny Reese at the 34-yard line. 1034 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:20,800 So a punt of 38 yards that time by Tom Blanchard. 1035 01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,800 And Kansas City goes on offense. 1036 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,800 Billy Cesar got him there. 1037 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:27,800 So it's a score. 1038 01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:28,800 Tampa Bay nothing. 1039 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:29,800 Kansas City nothing. 1040 01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,800 We'll be back. 1041 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,800 Superstar OJ Simpson has reached the end of the line. 1042 01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,800 The man they call the juice hanging him up after his San Francisco 49ers 1043 01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:41,800 play the Atlanta Falcons in their NFL finale. 1044 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:45,800 And despite the fact he's gained more than 11,000 yards in his career, 1045 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:49,800 Simpson probably will only get a handful, if any, at all on Sunday. 1046 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:53,800 Knee problems over the past few seasons have robbed OJ of his slashing moves 1047 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,800 and blazing speed that once made him the most dangerous running back in football. 1048 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,800 So instead of going out in glory, he'll be leaving us a reserve on a team that's currently 2-13. 1049 01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:07,800 But even the injuries in the 49ers' mediocre showing can't dim OJ's achievements 1050 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,800 or equip some of his record-setting performances. 1051 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:15,800 It may be quite a while before anyone can touch Simpson's 1973 record 1052 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:21,800 of gaining 2,000 yards in a season or his all-time high of six 200-yard games. 1053 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,800 And despite the current group of good running backs, 1054 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:28,800 it could be some time before anyone else can win four rushing titles in five years, 1055 01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:33,800 as Simpson did during the mid-1970s. 1056 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,800 So this may be a 40-day and 40-night routine. 1057 01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,800 It is still coming down here at Tampa Stadium. 1058 01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:42,800 And right after this first offensive play, we're going to check in with Virgil Carter in Chicago 1059 01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,800 to get an update on that Chicago-St. Louis game. 1060 01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,800 The last score we gave you was 7-0 to Bears. 1061 01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:49,800 It's first-and-10 Kansas 30-34 yard line. 1062 01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:53,800 Getty, Walters, Redmay, Condon, and Simmons on the offensive line. 1063 01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:55,800 The tight end is Sony-Samuels. 1064 01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,800 In the backfield is Gantt and McNight. 1065 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,800 Steve Fuller at quarterback on first down. 1066 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:01,800 Handoff, Earl Gantt. 1067 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:03,800 David Lewis on the tackle. 1068 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:04,800 And absolutely nothing. 1069 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,800 Randy Clouder, picked him up. 1070 01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,800 So let's now, we're going to check in in Chicago with Virgil Carter 1071 01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,800 and get an update on the Bears and St. Louis game. 1072 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:30,800 Well, apparently we're having some technical problems there, 1073 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:34,800 but it is 14-0 to Chicago Bears out in front, 1074 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,800 and we'll try to see what happened there and get things going. 1075 01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,800 So it is second down and 10 now. 1076 01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,800 Earl Gantt limped off the field for Kansas City. 1077 01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,800 Steve Fuller dropping back to pass. 1078 01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:45,800 Plenty of protection. 1079 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:46,800 Fires over the middle. 1080 01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:47,800 Complete. 1081 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,800 The ball is loose and intercepted. 1082 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,800 Richard Wood, and an interception. 1083 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:53,800 His second of the day. 1084 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:59,800 The ball was tipped away off the fingertips of Henry or Tony-Samuels. 1085 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:01,800 A good hard hit by Cedric Brown. 1086 01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:02,800 It forced the ball loose, 1087 01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:08,800 and Richard Wood had the concentration to pick it off. 1088 01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:12,800 That's his third of the season, his second of the day. 1089 01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,800 A very, very hard hit and a very alert. 1090 01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,800 That man Wood hitting the ball. 1091 01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,800 I don't know if he had not, if it would have been a fumble, 1092 01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,800 because he might have had it long enough, 1093 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,800 but it's through the intercept and very, very alert 1094 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:28,800 by the Bucks' specialty, your second, excuse me, defensive team, 1095 01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:30,800 coming up with another big play. 1096 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,800 Mike Haggins and Larry Mucker both to the left side. 1097 01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,800 Jim O'Gradovich is lined up to the right side. 1098 01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,800 The long running back is Ricky Bell, so they go with two tight ends. 1099 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,800 Handoff goes to Bell up the middle, not very much to the 40-yard line. 1100 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:48,800 The tackle made there by Frank Manumaliuna. 1101 01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,800 It'll be amazing if I don't slur that before the day is over. 1102 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:53,800 It's second down and about seven. 1103 01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,800 The ball up the Kansas City 40-yard line. 1104 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:59,800 The rain's still coming down, and the field looks like a river. 1105 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,800 Morris Owens is in at Flanker, replacing Larry Mucker. 1106 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:05,800 Seems like it's getting a little more intense talking about the rain. 1107 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:10,800 The field is absolutely quagmire, but the play is also extremely intense. 1108 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,800 11-08 remaining third quarter. 1109 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,800 No score to Bucks and Kansas City. 1110 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,800 Ricky Bell, the long running back once again. 1111 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,800 He gets the handoff off the right side, flipping his way, 1112 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,800 and he's brought down right at about the line of scrimmage by Arch Still, 1113 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,800 the left defensive end, who has had himself a great day. 1114 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:37,800 So that's going to bring up a third down play. 1115 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,800 You know, we watched Darrell Carlton in that particular play, 1116 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,800 and Darrell looked like he had a hand on Phil's shoulder pad 1117 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:46,800 and really maintained pretty good position 1118 01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:50,800 and still was powerful enough to string it out and throw Darrell off, 1119 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:52,800 but Carlton made a pretty good block that play. 1120 01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:56,800 Mucker and Hagens to the left side now, again Jimmy Giles now lining up 1121 01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,800 as a wide receiver to the right. 1122 01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:03,800 Doug Williams rolling right to pass, flip, gets it away, and it is ruled. 1123 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,800 He may have been ruled down. I think they blew the whistle. 1124 01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:08,800 Doug unloaded it, but I think the whistle had blown. 1125 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,800 Arch Still had him at his grasp, and I want to tell you, 1126 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,800 Arch Still is going through Darrell Carlton like putter. 1127 01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,800 Big Me just can't hold him up very well. 1128 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,800 It looked like a roll type, and it looked like Doug rolled right into the area 1129 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,800 where Big Me was blocking. 1130 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,800 I don't know if Obradovich was supposed to block, 1131 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,800 but Jimmy Giles was very definitely in the clear from a wide receiver to the... 1132 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:32,800 He was flipped to the right, and he was wide open. 1133 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,800 Well, the punt. Here we go again. 1134 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,800 Tom Blanchard back at his own 40-yard line. 1135 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,800 They didn't have figure to do the snapping, 1136 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,800 and it's a high snap, but Blanchard would get it away. 1137 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,800 A wobbler going to go out of bounds. 1138 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,800 We got a penalty flag, I think, are doing. 1139 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,800 Yeah, yeah, penalty flag dropped, 1140 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,800 and it may well be a penalty roughing the kicker. 1141 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:57,800 David Lewis was batting Gary Green, the man who did it, 1142 01:19:57,800 --> 01:19:59,800 and that's going to get the Bucks an automatic first down, 1143 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:02,800 and that could be one of the biggest breaks of this football game. 1144 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:07,800 It will give Tampa Bay an automatic first down with 9.57 to go, 1145 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,800 third quarter, no score from a rain soak, 1146 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:13,800 and I do mean rain soak Tampa Stadium, 1147 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:15,800 and it's still coming down, 1148 01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:18,800 and there's no indication it's ever going to let up. 1149 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,800 The other important game, 14-0, Chicago leading St. Louis. 1150 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,800 We had some technical problems in checking in with Virgil Carter. 1151 01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,800 I don't know if we'll be able to get him on or not, 1152 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,800 but we'll certainly keep you up to date with the score at any rate, 1153 01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:32,800 and Gary kind of hit him. 1154 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:35,800 Gary was actually going for the ball and couldn't hold up his momentum. 1155 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:38,800 He also got a block by David Lewis, but it doesn't matter 1156 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,800 because he's got to maintain his own momentum. 1157 01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:46,800 Number 24, he hurtled the blocker right down. 1158 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:50,800 He hurtled the blocker, says Jerry Seaman, and that's the reason. 1159 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,800 First and 10 Bucks at the Kansas City 40-yard line. 1160 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,800 That's where it all started, 1161 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,800 and the crowd is really getting fired up now. 1162 01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,800 Larry Muckner to the right, Ike Higgins to the left, 1163 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,800 Bela Neckwood, and Doug Williams loses the football. 1164 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:07,800 A penalty flag goes down, and all in all, it was a complete mess. 1165 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,800 Jimmy Giles jumped very, very quickly and prematurely, 1166 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:14,800 and as soon as he jumped, the whistle blew, and it's a dead ball. 1167 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:19,800 Block drive, number 88, pass it. 1168 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,800 Well, Doug Williams now is going to get some rye, or a towel, rather. 1169 01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:25,800 He's getting a towel from Frankie Pappello. 1170 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,800 It brings up a first down and 15 now for the Buccaneers, 1171 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,800 9.57 to go third quarter. 1172 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,800 This should be one of those games, Dave, where a field goal wins it. 1173 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,800 Well, that's true, and it's a shame. 1174 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,800 We've mentioned it a couple times, and we don't really want to harp on it, 1175 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,800 but a little bit of a problem with the snap in the hole 1176 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,800 and Neil O'Donoghue's first kick, and O'Donoghue tried a very, very good play on his part, 1177 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,800 tried to scramble off to his left, came fairly near breaking it 1178 01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,800 and coming up with a first down, but ran a little bit short. 1179 01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,800 So it is first and 15. Bela Neckwood, our split. 1180 01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,800 Morris Owens is in at a flanker. Two tight ends remain. 1181 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,800 And Owens goes in motion. Handoff goes to Jerry Eckwood, 1182 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,800 and he is nailed very, very hard by Gary Sainey, 1183 01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:13,800 the inside right linebacker, all the way back to the 48-yard line of Kansas City. 1184 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,800 Sainey came in there absolutely untouched. 1185 01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,800 He must have slipped the gap because it looked like the play was going to be strung out, 1186 01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:23,800 but Sainey had a full head of steam when he hit Eckwood, 1187 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,800 and Eckwood really didn't have a chance. 1188 01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:29,800 So Mucker and Hagan's on the field now at his second down at 18 1189 01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,800 as the Bucks are strided out at the Kansas City 40-yard line, 1190 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,800 and now they are back 8 yards. 1191 01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,800 It is going to be tough getting anything going. 1192 01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,800 Racing off the field is Jerry Eckwood. 1193 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,800 And I think the Bucks have got all sorts of problems. 1194 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:47,800 Obradovich is now racing on, and Ducks call the timeout. 1195 01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,800 Well, nobody knew what was happening. They called the play. 1196 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,800 Jerry Eckwood ran off the field. Jim Obradovich suddenly ran on the field. 1197 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,800 I don't think anyone knew what the heck the play was. 1198 01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,800 Now we're going to try it again, are we? Okay. 1199 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,800 We're going to try to check in again in Chicago with Virgil Carter 1200 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,800 to get an update on the Bears in St. Louis. Virgil? 1201 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,800 Virgil, we're ready for the Tampa 3 Bucks. 1202 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:12,800 They've got all the Bears in the first half. 1203 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,800 There's two minutes to go in that period. 1204 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,800 The Bears have scored from 70 yards out on their first possession. 1205 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,800 Check that up on a 68-yard scoring drive like that. 1206 01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,800 They have 8 out of 9 in those two drives. 1207 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,800 Walnut-Payton is running well. 1208 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,800 We've got a lot of Chicago Bears here today at Soldier's Field in Chicago. 1209 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,800 This is Virgil Carter reporting. 1210 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:31,800 Okay, thank you, Virgil. 1211 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,800 Again, the quality sounded like he was in Timbuktu somewhere, instead of Chicago. 1212 01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:38,800 So we'll again try to work on it and see if we can't get it fixed 1213 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:41,800 because the phone line is not very good in Chicago, 1214 01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,800 but again, Virgil's saying right now it's all Chicago Bears. 1215 01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:48,800 I don't think the Buccaneers were counting on anything differently anyway. 1216 01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,800 It is second down at 18. 1217 01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,800 The ball at the 48-yard line of Kansas City. 1218 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,800 As it continues to rain, the field is very, very wet. 1219 01:23:57,800 --> 01:23:59,800 Standing water almost all over the place. 1220 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:01,800 Jim Obradovich is then lined up as a wide receiver. 1221 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:03,800 Hagan's a mucker to the left side now. 1222 01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:05,800 Ricky Bell alone running back. 1223 01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:06,800 The pitch right to Ricky Bell. 1224 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,800 He gets it at midfield, cuts inside to the 45, 1225 01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:10,800 and Ricky Bell still on his feet to the 43. 1226 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:13,800 The ball flips out of his hands and it's out of bounds. 1227 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,800 Don Perish made the tackle. 1228 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,800 And it's going to bring up a third down at about 12 now for Tampa Bay. 1229 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,800 I'm sure you've been involved in games like this in your career 1230 01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,800 in the American Football League, Dave. 1231 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:26,800 What do you do offensively?

1241 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,800 You talk about basic and anything happens. 1242 01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,800 Any score is a good start in a game like today. 1243 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:55,800 Darryl Austin comes in at center now for Tampa Bay. 1244 01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,800 Darryl Austin is in at center replacing Steve Wilson. 1245 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,800 Doug Williams, bootleg to the left. 1246 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:01,800 He's got room, 35. 1247 01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,800 Doug's still in his seat, and he's forced out of bounds short of the first down 1248 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:05,800 at the 36-yard line. 1249 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,800 Again, a good play at bootleg. 1250 01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:10,800 Gary Piper of the free safety was over there to make the stop, 1251 01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:14,800 and it brings up a fourth down. 1252 01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:16,800 So Don Blanchard comes on the field again. 1253 01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:18,800 8.09 remaining, third quarter. 1254 01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,800 We have two score, the Buccaneers in Kansas City, 1255 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,800 and what a thing to happen to a game so important. 1256 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,800 You know, that was a fine play, but I think it could have been better 1257 01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,800 if he had a pass-type option. 1258 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:33,800 There were no threats, no receivers in the area, 1259 01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,800 and the defensive backs, when they noticed that he was bootlegging, 1260 01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:37,800 they automatically came up. 1261 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,800 They had no worry of a receiver, and I think it would have been more effective. 1262 01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:42,800 Dan Amapsinger gets the snap. 1263 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,800 Blanchard angles for the sideline, and he may have it. 1264 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,800 It is, let's see how they roll it. 1265 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:49,800 Touchback. 1266 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,800 They roll it at touchback. 1267 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:53,800 Very, very close. 1268 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,800 It's hard to say. 1269 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:57,800 We have absolutely no angle at all on it. 1270 01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,800 A beautiful punt, though, by Tom Blanchard, 1271 01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:01,800 but it just didn't quite hug the corner, 1272 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:06,800 and the Chiefs take over first and 10 at the 20-yard line. 1273 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,800 For the score, Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 1274 01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:11,800 We'll be back on the Buccaneer radio network. 1275 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:16,800 George Hallis, Jr., the president of the Chicago Bears of the National Football League, 1276 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,800 died Sunday of a heart attack at 54. 1277 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:24,800 A spokesman for the Bears says Hallis, the son of Bear founder George Hallis, Sr., 1278 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,800 suffered the fatal coronary at his home on the city's near north side. 1279 01:26:28,800 --> 01:26:31,800 Hallis died only a few hours before the Bears were revived 1280 01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,800 for their first division championship in 16 years, 1281 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:39,800 playing traditional rival St. Louis at Soldier Field. 1282 01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:43,800 The Pittsburgh Pirates say that all-pro linebacker Jack Hamm 1283 01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,800 will not play again this season because of an ankle injury he sustained 1284 01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,800 at last Monday night's game at Houston. 1285 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:51,800 The Steelers say the team Dockers made the decision Saturday. 1286 01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,800 Besides missing all postseason games, 1287 01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:57,800 Hamm will also sit out the Pro Bowl game in Honolulu January 27th. 1288 01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,800 He was chosen for the AFC team for the seventh straight season 1289 01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:07,800 and is the only NFL linebacker to be named to the Pro Bowl each year since 1973. 1290 01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,800 OK, let's get back to Rainey Tampa Stadium in Tampa Bay. 1291 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:17,800 Bucks champion Dave Kucerick back with you at Tampa Stadium 1292 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,800 with eight minutes and two seconds remaining in the third quarter. 1293 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:24,800 No score. Kansas City has it first and 10 at their own 20-yard line. 1294 01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,800 At halftime, the Chiefs were held at 56 yards total offense, 1295 01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,800 while the Bucks had 159. 1296 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:33,800 Ricky Bell was the leading ball carrier at halftime with 75 yards on 18 carries, 1297 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,800 so just not much offense at all in this game. 1298 01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,800 Defensively for the Buccaneers, the same defense you've seen in there. 1299 01:27:39,800 --> 01:27:42,800 Of course, Danny Reid starting in place of Mike Washington. 1300 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:44,800 For Kansas City, Mike Williams is in, 1301 01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,800 the number eight draft choice of Ricky out of New Mexico 1302 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,800 replacing Earl Gant who is injured. 1303 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,800 So McKnight and Williams are split behind Steve Fuller. 1304 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,800 Hits back to Williams. Williams looking for room, finds a little bit, 1305 01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:02,800 gets all the way out to the 29-yard line before Cedric Brown makes the stop. 1306 01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:07,800 A follow-up of David Lewis that time and picked up an extra four or five yards. 1307 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:10,800 Lewis had a blocker in his hands and was unable to throw him loose, 1308 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,800 and all he was able to do was throw a shoulder at him. 1309 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,800 He was not able to in any way grasp or try and tackle. 1310 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:20,800 We've received word that Steve Wilson has a groin injury and should return, 1311 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,800 but that's the reason Gerald Austin is now snapping at the center position. 1312 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:29,800 The Chiefs have Forrest Felton in the game replacing Williams. 1313 01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:33,800 Forrest Felton, and he is in there along with Ted McKnight. 1314 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,800 On second down and one for the Kansas City 29. 1315 01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:38,800 In motion is Henry Marshall, handoff McKnight. 1316 01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,800 He's bunched up, going to be very close to the first down. 1317 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:48,800 Randy Clatter, the initial hit, and they stop the clock with 7-11 remaining. 1318 01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,800

01:29:09,800 Third down and about a yard to go. 1325 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:11,800 It's a 29-yard line. 1326 01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:16,800 Big play on this offensive series for Kansas City. 1327 01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:23,800 McKnight and Williams, two tight ends in the game for Kansas City. 1328 01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:28,800 In motion goes Henry Marshall, the handoff, and first down for Kansas City. 1329 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:32,800 So Ted McKnight, he bumped off Leroy Selman and picked up the first down. 1330 01:29:32,800 --> 01:29:34,800 So the Chiefs keep the football and keep it going. 1331 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:45,800 6.36 remaining here in the third quarter. 1332 01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:46,800 This wishes to Mrs. Dewey Selman. 1333 01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:50,800 Catherine, who again as Dick Ripon mentioned at the top of the show, 1334 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,800 gave birth to little girl Shannon Nicole Selman. 1335 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,800 And congratulations to Dewey. 1336 01:29:56,800 --> 01:29:59,800 The running backs are McKnight and Williams on first down and ten 1337 01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:01,800 at the 33-yard line of Kansas City. 1338 01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:02,800 Pitch back goes to Williams. 1339 01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:07,800 He slips, loses the footing, gets back up, and Richard Wood makes the tackle. 1340 01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,800 Let's see where they mark it down. 1341 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:15,800 At about the, maybe short of the line of scrimmage, a loss of about a yard of the play. 1342 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,800 He was nearly still for about a three or four-yard loss, 1343 01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:19,800 but he was able to regain his footing. 1344 01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:24,800 So that's an indication that he is getting very, very slippery out there. 1345 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:28,800 Second down and 12 now for Kansas City, 5.43 to go, third quarter. 1346 01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:31,800 Incidentally, Mark, that last first down they made was only their fourth. 1347 01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:34,800 So they really have, the defense has really bottled up Kansas City. 1348 01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,800 The weather's had a big factor, but the defense is playing super. 1349 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:40,800 The back just went behind the rookie from Clemson, Steve Fuller. 1350 01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:41,800 He's going to try to pass. 1351 01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:42,800 He's getting glitz. 1352 01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:45,800 And Mark Cutney's got him. 1353 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:48,800 He lost the football, but I believe the whistle is long. 1354 01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:49,800 The whistle is long. 1355 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:50,800 It was a good call. 1356 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:51,800 He was bound. 1357 01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:56,800 Mark Cutney on the safety blip, getting Steve Fuller all the way back to about the 20-yard line. 1358 01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:58,800 Interesting on that play. 1359 01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,800 Cutney came up and faked, and then he started to go back. 1360 01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:06,800 And he started, just as he timed it, just about the time the ball was snapped, 1361 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:10,800 and Fuller was watching David Lewis who was bushing from the side that he was able, 1362 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:11,800 David Lewis was coming from the left side. 1363 01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:14,800 Fuller was able to see him, but he had no idea. 1364 01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,800 Cutney had a deadbeat on him, and it was another very, very key play 1365 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:19,800 by the defense Mark Cutney on that tackle. 1366 01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,800 Curtis Jordan on the nickelback. 1367 01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:24,800 Horace Felton in the game along with Mike Williams. 1368 01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:26,800 And off goes to Williams. 1369 01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,800 He's caught, gets away from one man, and now it's brought down by Jarrett White 1370 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:32,800 at about the 23-yard line. 1371 01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:37,800 Brings up a punting situation, so the pressure now reverses and goes to Bob Brooks. 1372 01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,800 Danny Reese is calling for some rise, and he's yelling at the sidelines, 1373 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:41,800 but that's him. 1374 01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:43,800 Nobody's looking at him. 1375 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:49,800 And now he gets a foul from one of the Buccaneer players on the sidelines. 1376 01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:52,800 Bob Brooks standing back, actually Bob's standing in one of the drier portions 1377 01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:54,800 of Tampa Stadium at the 8-yard line. 1378 01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,800 Well, if it's dry, it's the only dry spot. 1379 01:31:57,800 --> 01:32:00,800 Gets the snap, no pressure at all, and he gets away a good punt. 1380 01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:03,800 Danny Reese awaits it at the 30-yard line, takes it there. 1381 01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:07,800 35, Danny to the 40, really cradling that football. 1382 01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,800 And the Buccaneers take over first and 10 at the 40-yard line. 1383 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:17,800 A 48-yard punt, 11-yard return with 424 remaining here in the third quarter. 1384 01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:19,800 So a timeout with a score. 1385 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:22,800 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 1386 01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:27,800 At Chicago, 5th to Williams on that 11-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter. 1387 01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:32,800 And at the end of the first quarter, Chicago leading, St. Louis 14 to nothing. 1388 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,800 No other changes in any of the other games at the moment. 1389 01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:39,800 San Francisco leading Atlanta 14 to 10 early in the third quarter. 1390 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,800 Baltimore 17, the Giants nothing early in the third quarter. 1391 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:47,800 Also early in the third period, Minnesota 13 to 7 over New England. 1392 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:50,800 Cleveland and Cincinnati tied at 6-6 in the third period. 1393 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:54,800 And Pittsburgh leading Buffalo 14 to nothing early in the third period. 1394 01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:56,800 Philadelphia's at Houston. 1395 01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:59,800 We've had nothing in on that game at the moment. 1396 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:01,800 Later, Washington is at Dallas. 1397 01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:03,800 New Orleans at Los Angeles. 1398 01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:05,800 And Seattle is playing at Oakland. 1399 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,800 And on Monday night, Denver plays at San Diego. 1400 01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:15,800 Saturday in the National Football League, the Jets 27, Miami 24. 1401 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:17,800 The Jets 27, Miami 24. 1402 01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:19,800 And Green Bay over Detroit on Saturday. 1403 01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:24,800 Final score there, Green Bay 18, Detroit 13. 1404 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:30,800 Mark Champion and Dave Kucerich back with you at Tampa Stadium. 1405 01:33:30,800 --> 01:33:31,800 We have no score. 1406 01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:34,800 Four minutes and 24 seconds remaining in the third quarter. 1407 01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:39,800 Interesting question comes up, what if this game ends up in a nothing-nothing tie 1408 01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,800 and the Bears win, they have a 10-6 record, the Bucks will be 9-6-1. 1409 01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:48,800 Well, it obviously goes to overtime, but let's wait until the regulation game is over first. 1410 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:50,800 The back's in an eye, Davidson Bell on first down. 1411 01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:53,800 Handoff deep to Ricky Bell, he fumbles the football! 1412 01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:55,800 And he recovers it, I do believe. 1413 01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:57,800 Ricky got the football back. 1414 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:02,800 And the 35-yard line loss in the play, Madomali Una on the tackle. 1415 01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:07,800 Boy, oh boy, that could have been a big play in this game, and luckily Ricky hung on. 1416 01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:12,800 The ball simply just flipped out of his hand. 1417 01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:17,800 And it's going to be a play like that, probably that's going to decide this football game, the way it's going. 1418 01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:24,800 3.55 in the clock running, Ricky Bell comes out and Jerry Eckwood now comes on for the Buccaneers. 1419 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:29,800 Ike Higgins splits to the left side, and Larry McCurry is flanked right. 1420 01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:33,800 On second and 13 from the Tampa Bay 37-yard line. 1421 01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:35,800 Davidson Eckwood in an eye. 1422 01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:39,800 Handoff, Jerry Eckwood gets away from one man, but not the other, and he's locked down. 1423 01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:41,800 Hart's still on the tackle. 1424 01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:46,800 The fans are booing, but really, it is just almost impossible to get anything going. 1425 01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:51,800 It is a very risky thing to even think about throwing the football on a day like this. 1426 01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:57,800 It's going to have to be a game that is decided by turnovers, field position on a punt. 1427 01:34:57,800 --> 01:35:00,800 And it's just one of those things we have to put up with. 1428 01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:08,800 Incidentally, the two plays that Steve Wilson was out briefly with the full groin were the first two plays that he has missed since the Atlanta game in 1977. 1429 01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:13,800 So Steve has been a bit of an Ironman out there, and it's good to see him back in, snapping at center. 1430 01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:15,800 Running back this time is Ricky Bell. 1431 01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:17,800 Wide receivers, McCurry and Higgins. 1432 01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,800 Jimmy Giles is split out to the right side now on third down and 15. 1433 01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,800 Doug Williams rolls right. 1434 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:23,800 He close one out long. 1435 01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:25,800 It's overthrown, maybe intercepted. 1436 01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,800 And he is intercepted by Herb Christopher. 1437 01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,800 I'm a Kansas City Chiefs habit at the 23-yard line. 1438 01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,800 I don't know where he was throwing the football to be honest with you. 1439 01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:42,800 Giles, Mark Giles, first of all, went kind of a very poor out and up move, but it's no big deal because it would have been a fourth down situation. 1440 01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:44,800 And I think that's almost better than a punt. 1441 01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:46,800 They were third and 15. 1442 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:51,800 I didn't think I'd have dropped it instead of intercepting it, but it has the same effect as a punt. 1443 01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,800 So it's really no big deal. 1444 01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:56,800 Giles didn't make much of a move and they were very worried deep. 1445 01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:00,800 I think Doug has got it for old middle-sized stuff and not worried about the deep stuff. 1446 01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:03,800 They seem to be giving them the medium passes and not the deep stuff. 1447 01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:05,800 Well, we're going to try it again, fans. 1448 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,800 We're going to check in with Virgil Carter in Chicago and see if we got a phone line this time. 1449 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:10,800 Virgil? 1450 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:24,800 This is the Soldier Field. 1451 01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:25,800 The Bears still lead 14-0. 1452 01:36:25,800 --> 01:36:28,800 They had an opportunity to add a field goal to their ranks. 1453 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:31,800 They faked a field goal on fourth and five from about the 15-yard line. 1454 01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:34,800 The fake ball part in the pass was no good. 1455 01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,800 The Cardinals have just picked up their first first down of the ball game, but they're deep in their own territory. 1456 01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:41,800 The Bears are playing excellent football. 1457 01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:46,800 I guess that was to be expected, so it is Chicago solidly out in front, Dave. 1458 01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,800 Mark, just one note from statistician Jerry Provenzano. 1459 01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:57,800 That was a 42-yard net, the interception, and when you figure that Blanchard has been kicking 34.6 average 1460 01:36:57,800 --> 01:37:01,800 and somewhat hazardous, I might add, I think that was a pretty good play. 1461 01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:03,800 That was Doug's first pass in the second half. 1462 01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:13,800 And we've also been given a note that 8,502 no-shows, 72-126 tickets distributed, actual in-house, 63-624. 1463 01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:18,800 Well, the rain, obviously, the back of their first and 10-23-yard line of Kansas City. 1464 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,800 Williams and McKnight are the running backs behind Steve Fuller. 1465 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:26,800 Handoff goes to Williams, and he's caught by Leroy Selman and dropped across the 25-yard line. 1466 01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:32,800 Pickup of maybe three yards on that play by Mike Williams, a rookie out of New Mexico, eighth round, Rothschild. 1467 01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:39,800 Kansas City lost their two top running backs, Arnold Morgato and Tony Reed, and more so than ever this year, 1468 01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:42,800 Marv Levy has gotten away from that wing-T offense. 1469 01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:44,800 One of the big reasons is he lost his two big backs. 1470 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:49,800 Well, he had a junket early. It wasn't very successful with Mike Livingston running it, and he puts Fuller in it, 1471 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,800 and I think the second or third game, and they've been reasonably successful with this young man. 1472 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:55,800 Fuller to pass on second down, getting the protection. 1473 01:37:55,800 --> 01:38:02,800 Close one out. It is complete to the tight end, Tony Samuels, but he is out of bounds at about the 28-yard line, 1474 01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:04,800 pushed out there by Cedric Brown. 1475 01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:10,800 Brings up a third down play, third and about five yards to go now for Kansas City, 1476 01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,800 with a minute 54, the clock running in the third quarter. 1477 01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:15,800 We have no score. 1478 01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,800 Both teams had a chance at a field goal. 1479 01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:22,800 The Buccaneer is missing on, well, the combination of a bad snap and a bad handling of a snap, 1480 01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:26,800 and Kansas City's center-roots field goal attempt was blocked by Leroy Selman. 1481 01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:30,800 Morris Belton now joins the backfield, replacing Ced McKnight. 1482 01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:36,800 It will be Belton and Williams on third and sixth, 27-yard line for Steve Fuller in Kansas City. 1483 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,800 And he hands off Leroy Selman. 1484 01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:46,800 Hurrah! Mike Williams. Richard Wood helps him out, and again the defense does its job. 1485 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:48,800 And they're going to get a good hand from this crowd. 1486 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:54,800 The ring's so loud. Leroy Selman proving why he should be on the Pro Bowl 1487 01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:58,800 and would have been there before had it not been for an injury. 1488 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,800 Danny Reese now dropping back to about the 23-yard line. 1489 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:04,800 Bob Crupp standing at about the 12th. 1490 01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:06,800 Bob is getting a big advantage. 1491 01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:10,800 He's standing in the dry part of the field, which is the south end zone, 1492 01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:13,800 the south end zone area, the driest of anything. 1493 01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:15,800 The snap is a good one. No pressure. 1494 01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:19,800 Crupp hits a line-drive spiral taken by Reese at the 28. 1495 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,800 Danny to the 30, cuts up to the 35, and he gets dropped there. 1496 01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:26,800 So the Buccaneers take over. J.T. Smith on the tackle. 1497 01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,800 First and 10, 35-yard line with 39 seconds to go in the quarter. 1498 01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:35,800 45-yard punt that time by the NFL's leading runner, Bob Crupp. 1499 01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:37,800 So the Buccaneers take over offensively once again. 1500 01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:40,800 They have not been able to move the football. 1501 01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:44,800 As Dave mentioned earlier, the short passes are going to have to come into play, I think, 1502 01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:46,800 because they're going to get downfield. 1503 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,800 Well, he's completed the ones he's completed. 1504 01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:51,800 Eckwood's got a couple little swing passes and fairly successful. 1505 01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:53,800 He's got to go back to that kind of stuff. 1506 01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,800 Running backs are Davis and Bell behind Doug Wigand. 1507 01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:58,800 C. Wilson, by the way, back in at center. 1508 01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:01,800 Hand off Johnny Davis off the left side, maybe a yard. 1509 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:07,800 He's corralled by Ken Kramer, the nose tackle, and Gary Spaney, the inside line linebacker. 1510 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:12,800 By Kagan, Jerry Eckwood now come on the field. 1511 01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:15,800 With the play on second down and eight from the Tampa Bay 37-yard line. 1512 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:18,800 Johnny Davis comes out along with Jim O'Bradovich. 1513 01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:22,800 So Eckwood and Bell now in for John McKay's Buccaneers. 1514 01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:24,800 Thirteen seconds in the clock running. 1515 01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:28,800 They might just about get this one off just before the quarter. 1516 01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:29,800 Second down and eight. 1517 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:31,800 In the slot left is Jerry Eckwood. 1518 01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:34,800 Moving in motion Larry Mucker to the right side now. 1519 01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:35,800 Two seconds on the clock. 1520 01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:37,800 The pitch left to Ricky Bell. 1521 01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:39,800 Bell looking for the outside move, gets into the 40. 1522 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:40,800 Down the sidelines. 1523 01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:41,800 They have picked up the first down. 1524 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:45,800 They roll him out of bounds at the 46-yard line. 1525 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,800 Looks to be enough for the first down. 1526 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,800 Good second effort by Ricky Bell. 1527 01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,800 That is the end of the third quarter here at Tampa Stadium. 1528 01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:53,800 With the score at Tampa Bay nothing. 1529 01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:55,800 Kansas City nothing. 1530 01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:59,800 The Buccaneers indeed got a first down and ten at the 46-yard line at Tampa Bay. 1531 01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:04,800 They just announced that 12-year-old Scott Underwood, a winner of the NFC front pass and kick competition. 1532 01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:06,800 So he goes to the Zabigge. 1533 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:07,800 He goes to the Tuber Bowl. 1534 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:08,800 That's right. 1535 01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:09,800 Incidentally Ricky Bell with a great second effort. 1536 01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,800 However, he was aided by a fine block by the left tackle. 1537 01:41:12,800 --> 01:41:13,800 Big number 75. 1538 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:14,800 Dave Rebbis. 1539 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:18,800 Long Ricky for the last couple yards that were able to get the first down. 1540 01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:23,800 On a play like that they kind of negate the interior people by quickly pitching to the back. 1541 01:41:23,800 --> 01:41:28,800 The defensive end in that particular play, Mike Bell had no chance because the ball was already outside of him. 1542 01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:32,800 Bell was already outside of him as soon as he caught the ball from the pitch from Williams. 1543 01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:36,800 So that's what you try and negate certain things as far as the defensive alignment. 1544 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,800 So here we go, the final 15 minutes perhaps. 1545 01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:40,800 Equitably flat right now. 1546 01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,800 Bell alone running back in the backfield at any rate. 1547 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:44,800 In motion is Morris Owen. 1548 01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:46,800 Hand off deep to Ricky Bell. 1549 01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,800 Off the left side finds a little room and gets near midfield. 1550 01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:52,800 So the tackle made by Thomas Howard. 1551 01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:58,800 Pick up on the play of about four that time by Ricky as he is edging toward the 100-yard mark. 1552 01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:03,800 As we have told you earlier, he has already gone past 1200 yards of the season. 1553 01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:07,800 He was edged out of the Pro Bowl, dotted by Chuck Muncy of the New Orleans Saints. 1554 01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:12,800 It's really a feeling that perhaps Ricky should have made the Pro Bowl, but didn't. 1555 01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:14,800 Second down and six right in midfield. 1556 01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:16,800 14-30 remaining in the football game. 1557 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:17,800 No score. 1558 01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:19,800 The Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs. 1559 01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:22,800 And we have had nothing but rain here all afternoon. 1560 01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:24,800 In motion goes Larry Muckers. 1561 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:27,800 To the right side, Doug Pitches left to Ricky Bell. 1562 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,800 He gets blocking and out of bounds at the 48. 1563 01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:32,800 Tackle made again by Thomas Howard. 1564 01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:34,800 So it's going to bring up a big third down play. 1565 01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:37,800 Third and about four. 1566 01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:44,800 They tried to spring it out, but Kansas City was over there to contain the play. 1567 01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:49,800 Will you hold your breath on those pitches with the ball being wet and the rain coming down. 1568 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:50,800 That's true. 1569 01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:55,800 Ike Hagans came in and cracked on Thomas Howard, but Howard is considerably larger than Hagans. 1570 01:42:55,800 --> 01:43:01,800 And he kind of slapped him off like you slap off a fly and was able to get into the pursuit and make the play. 1571 01:43:01,800 --> 01:43:05,800 Again, they negated the charge of Sylvester Hicks, the right defensive end that time. 1572 01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:06,800 Jim O'Brannamich comes in. 1573 01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:08,800 He's lining up as a wide receiver to the right side now. 1574 01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:10,800 So the long running back is Ricky Bell. 1575 01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:11,800 Third and three. 1576 01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:13,800 Kansas City 47 yard line. 1577 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:15,800 Doug Williams to pass. 1578 01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:16,800 Getting protection. 1579 01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:17,800 Over the middle. 1580 01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:18,800 Got it. 1581 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:19,800 40, 35. 1582 01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:21,800 Jimmy Diles to the 30 yard line. 1583 01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:23,800 First down for the Buccaneers. 1584 01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,800 Gary Green, the cornerback. 1585 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:27,800 There's the pass we've been waiting on. 1586 01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,800 22 yards to Jimmy Diles to tie it in. 1587 01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:33,800 And the rain is letting up a little bit here at Tampa City. 1588 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:36,800 It's still coming down, but it is letting up somewhat. 1589 01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:38,800 As Dizzy Dean used to say, Mark, it ain't 30. 1590 01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,800 It's just simple and it's nice and it's easy. 1591 01:43:41,800 --> 01:43:42,800 It's very simple passing. 1592 01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:47,800 That ball was not in the air more than four or five yards and it comes up with a 22 yard gain. 1593 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:52,800 You don't have to put the ball in the air 20 or 30 yards to gain 20 or 30 yards. 1594 01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:57,800 You get the ball in a five or 10 yard pass and you get a guy like Diles or Eckwood to break it and you've got a good gator. 1595 01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:00,800 Gary Eckwood back in replacing O'Bradyvich. 1596 01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:02,800 Morris Owen goes in motion to the left side now. 1597 01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:05,800 On first down, the pitch right to Ricky Bell. 1598 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:06,800 Takes the toss. 1599 01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,800 Looking for room and he is not going to get anything. 1600 01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:11,800 That play was really strung out. 1601 01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:13,800 And he may have lost the guard. 1602 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:33,800 Try to throw the block for him and Greg was filled with a turn by about four Kansas City players. 1603 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:35,800 12.54 in regulation time. 1604 01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:43,800 I think we have to start saying that. No score. Tampa Bay in Kansas City. 1605 01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:47,800 Larry Mucker and Ike Higgins both go to the left side now. 1606 01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:50,800 Jerry Eckwood is in a flat position to the left. 1607 01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:52,800 Mucker goes in motion, second and 12. 1608 01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:54,800 To the Kansas 30-32. 1609 01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:55,800 Inside handoff now. 1610 01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:56,800 He's trying to turn the corner. 1611 01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:57,800 That's all. 1612 01:44:57,800 --> 01:44:58,800 30-25. 1613 01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:00,800 And down to the 21 yard line. 1614 01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:04,800 Jerry Eckwood threw one heck of a block. 1615 01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:06,800 Jerry Eckwood simply stood up. 1616 01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:12,800 ML Carter, the right quarterback. 1617 01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:16,800 And it is a first down for Tampa Bay. 1618 01:45:16,800 --> 01:45:17,800 First to 10. 1619 01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:18,800 Mucker there. 1620 01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:23,800 Right about the Kansas 30-20 yard line. 1621 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,800 What a block there by Jerry Eckwood. 1622 01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:27,800 It wasn't ML Carter, it was Thomas Holler. 1623 01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,800 They both, Carter's 42, Holler is 52. 1624 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:31,800 And Carter's a little guy. 1625 01:45:31,800 --> 01:45:32,800 Holler's a big guy. 1626 01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:34,800 So it was a much better block than we thought. 1627 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:36,800 We thought he was blocking on a defensive back 1628 01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,800 and he was really blocking on a 235-pound linebacker. 1629 01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,800 First and 10 at the 20 yard line. 1630 01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,800 Both line receivers to the left. 1631 01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:46,800 And now Morris Owens goes in motion. 1632 01:45:46,800 --> 01:45:48,800 Handoff, Bell, straight ahead. 1633 01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:51,800 He's caught and dropped at the 19 yard line by Parrish. 1634 01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:54,800 Don Parrish for those tackles. 1635 01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:57,800 12 minutes and 17 seconds to go in the football game. 1636 01:45:57,800 --> 01:45:59,800 Tampa Bay nothing, Kansas City nothing. 1637 01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:02,800 The Bucs have their best drive since their opening series 1638 01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,800 in their football game when they got down to the Kansas City 15. 1639 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:07,800 And the field goal went awry. 1640 01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:09,800 Larry Mucker now on with the play. 1641 01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:13,800 Second down and eight at the Kansas City 18 yard line. 1642 01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:14,800 The rain is flooding up. 1643 01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,800 It's still coming down, but it is a light rain. 1644 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,800 Mucker and Hagens to the left side. 1645 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:22,800 Jerry Eckwood is in the flat position. 1646 01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,800 And now Mucker goes in motion right. 1647 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:27,800 Williams hands off inside to Ricky Bell. 1648 01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:31,800 He moves down close to the 16 yard line. 1649 01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:33,800 Pretty obvious what they're trying to set up here. 1650 01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:37,800 Gary Spanning, the inside right linebacker, made the stop. 1651 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:40,800 They don't want to take any chances. 1652 01:46:40,800 --> 01:46:49,800 Jerry Eckwood comes off. 1653 01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:51,800 Jim O'Gradovitz comes on an extra tight end. 1654 01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:55,800 On third down and six from the Kansas City 16 yard line. 1655 01:46:55,800 --> 01:46:58,800 The Buccaneers heading towards that north end zone. 1656 01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,800 Wouldn't it be nice if they got into the end zone, 1657 01:47:00,800 --> 01:47:05,800 11-11 to go in the football game. 1658 01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,800 Doug Williams, quick stop, can't find anybody. 1659 01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:11,800 Now throws, complete or incidentally, let's see. 1660 01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:13,800 They're rolling complete. 1661 01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:17,800 They're rolling complete to Jimmy Giles, the tight end at the nine yard line. 1662 01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:22,800 And that is another first down for the Buccaneers. 1663 01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:25,800 He waited a long, long time to throw the football, Dave. 1664 01:47:25,800 --> 01:47:26,800 You're right, Mark. 1665 01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:30,800 I think he wanted to throw it, but it didn't look like the receiver was ready. 1666 01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:32,800 And then he decided against it. 1667 01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:34,800 He took it down, it looked like he was going to run. 1668 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,800 Got a lot of pressure from Mark Still, who's been all over the field. 1669 01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:40,800 And then he threw it underneath the linebacker, Cal Peterson. 1670 01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,800 Jimmy Giles coming up with a great catch. 1671 01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:48,800 Giles has had an outstanding year, and he continues to catch very, very well in key situations. 1672 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:52,800 First and goal, nine yard line, 10.57 to go. 1673 01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:57,800 Eckwood and Bell in the high position, and Larry Mucker goes in motion. 1674 01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,800 Doug Williams pitches back to Jerry Eckwood. 1675 01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,800 He finds room down to the five yard line. 1676 01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:06,800 And almost lost the football, but recovered it at the four. 1677 01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,800 Jerry Barberow on the tackle. 1678 01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:13,800 Second down and goal from just inside the five yard line. 1679 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:15,800 Well, the clock continues to go. 1680 01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:19,800 We've got 10.40 in the fourth period, and Mark is talking about in regulation play. 1681 01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:21,800 Getting again, excellent block. 1682 01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:25,800 Ricky Bell, Jerry Eckwood and Ricky Bell are changing off, blocking for each other. 1683 01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:27,800 The other guy carrying the ball extremely well. 1684 01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:30,800 But this is a very, very important drive for the Bucs. 1685 01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:32,800 They've got to come out of here with something. 1686 01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:35,800 Certainly a touchdown will look very, very strong at this particular point. 1687 01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:37,800 But they've got to come out of here with at least three points. 1688 01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:38,800 Second and goal. 1689 01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:41,800 Eckwood is in the wing position to the right. 1690 01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:43,800 Going in motion is Morris Owen. 1691 01:48:43,800 --> 01:48:47,800 Hand off Ricky Bell, looking for room, and he's not going to find it. 1692 01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:53,800 He is bottled up off the right side of the offensive line by about four Kansas City defenders. 1693 01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,800 And now it is third down and goal from the five yard line. 1694 01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:59,800 Inside of ten minutes, 9.56 from the clock running. 1695 01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:05,800 Again, that Chicago score, Chicago 14 and nothing with five minutes to play in the first half. 1696 01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:09,800 We're tuning in periodically to Virgil Carter for updates, 1697 01:49:09,800 --> 01:49:11,800 but that's what we've been headed by Jerry Provenzano. 1698 01:49:11,800 --> 01:49:16,800 And it looks like, well, there was a Kansas City player slightly injured. 1699 01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,800 I don't think they're going to take a full timeout here. 1700 01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:23,800 It's pretty iffy, so we'll not break away because we certainly don't want to miss anything here. 1701 01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:26,800 Cal Peterson is the shaken up player. 1702 01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:30,800 And so Jerry Flanton, a free agent out of Kentucky, comes on. 1703 01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:37,800 Third down and goal to go from the four yard line, 9.45 on the clock running. 1704 01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:41,800 Big play of this series and the flat left is Joey Eckwood. 1705 01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,800 In motion goes Larry Mucker to the right side. 1706 01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:47,800 Doug Williams, drop way, Ricky Bell. 1707 01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:48,800 And he'll muck it in. 1708 01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:50,800 Down to about the two yard line. 1709 01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:54,800 It was a good call, a good call. 1710 01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:57,800 And now on comes Neil O'Donoghue. 1711 01:49:57,800 --> 01:50:02,800 Mark, this is going to be just about like an extra point and it's by no means automatic, 1712 01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:06,800 but it's going to be about the regular spot of the extra point. 1713 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:11,800 It's a position literally between the goal posts at about the two yard line. 1714 01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:19,800 Neil's probably going to kick it just inside the ten yard line, 8.5, nine yard kick, 19 yard field goal attempt. 1715 01:50:19,800 --> 01:50:24,800 Neil O'Donoghue, the rain has wet up a great deal. 1716 01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:26,800 Awaiting the snap from Steve Wilson. 1717 01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:28,800 It is a low snap, the kick is up. 1718 01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:30,800 Good! 1719 01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,800 The bucket is clean as three to nothing. 1720 01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:38,800 Neil O'Donoghue, 19 yard field goal with a score half of a three. 1721 01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:39,800 Hands to city nothing. 1722 01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:42,800 We'll be back after this word. 1723 01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:45,800 Jack Thompson has scored in a five yard run for Cincinnati. 1724 01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:52,800 So in the third period Cincinnati now leading Cleveland by the score of 13 to six. 1725 01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:55,800 Also it's Pittsburgh 21, Buffalo nothing. 1726 01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,800 That's late in the third quarter at Pittsburgh. 1727 01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:02,800 Minnesota 16, New England 7 in the third period at New England. 1728 01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:08,800 Late in the third period at East Druthaford, New York it's the Colts 24, the Giants 7. 1729 01:51:08,800 --> 01:51:11,800 San Francisco leading Atlanta 21 to 17. 1730 01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:15,800 That's late in the third period at Atlanta. 1731 01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:20,800 Chicago 14 to nothing over St. Louis early in the second quarter at Chicago. 1732 01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:22,800 Philadelphia and Houston nothing in yet. 1733 01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:30,800 Now there's a very good possibility that that game has been changed from a two o'clock Eastern time start to a four o'clock Eastern time start. 1734 01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:32,800 But we don't know on that. We haven't heard anything. 1735 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:36,800 We should have at least have had a first period score at this time, but we have nothing in. 1736 01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:45,800 So there's the possibility that the Philadelphia Houston game has been changed to a four o'clock Eastern time start. 1737 01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:47,800 63 yard drive in 13 plays. 1738 01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:49,800 It took seven minutes and nine seconds. 1739 01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:52,800 A 19 yard field goal by Neil O'Donoghue to make it three to nothing. 1740 01:51:52,800 --> 01:51:55,800 The snap was nearly lost that time. 1741 01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:59,800 And Tom Blanchard did a good job to get it down for Neil O'Donoghue. 1742 01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:04,800 The deep man is Johnny Durden for Kansas City 850 to go on the football game. 1743 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:07,800 The rain is very, very light now. 1744 01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:11,800 So whether that's an advantage for Kansas City, it may well be. 1745 01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:15,800 It may give Fuller a chance to throw the football. 1746 01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:19,800 The snap was a little, it hit the ground first and Tom did a heck of a job in recovering it. 1747 01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:22,800 O'Donoghue in and over and in a deep one. 1748 01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:27,800 Durden chasing it, goes through his hands and will be brought off to the 20 yard line. 1749 01:52:27,800 --> 01:52:30,800 A boomer and Neil fired up. 1750 01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:34,800 And that adrenaline is really flowing. 1751 01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:36,800 One big blue star for Neil O'Donoghue. 1752 01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:39,800 He'll make it a green star for the Irish Shamrock. 1753 01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:41,800 But Neil is really pumped up. 1754 01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:43,800 The snap was bad and Neil adjusted. 1755 01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:46,800 He didn't, he looked like he was hitting a little chip wedge. 1756 01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:50,800 Instead of taking a full swing as he normally would because of the timing, 1757 01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:53,800 he just popped it up real quickly because he thought there would be some rush. 1758 01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:56,800 And it was right through the middle, right through the heart. 1759 01:52:56,800 --> 01:52:59,800 And recently Bill Kohler in left defensive end replacing Wally Chambers. 1760 01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:03,800 First and 10-20 yard line for Kansas City. 1761 01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,800 McKnight and Williams are behind Steve Fuller. 1762 01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:07,800 On first down. 1763 01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:09,800 In motion goes Henry Marshall. 1764 01:53:09,800 --> 01:53:11,800 Play fake, Fuller to pass on first down. 1765 01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:13,800 He is caught and gets away. 1766 01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:17,800 They throw it, almost intercepted. 1767 01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:19,800 Well it was waiting on the whistle to blow, normally they do. 1768 01:53:19,800 --> 01:53:22,800 Jarrett's White nearly intercepted. 1769 01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:25,800 But Steve Fuller was able to keep his momentum going ahead. 1770 01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:28,800 I think that's why they did not blow the whistle. 1771 01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:30,800 Because they almost caught him from behind. 1772 01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:38,800 Leroy Settleman had not been for a good last second block by Rod Walters that kept him away. 1773 01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:41,800 He would have really put the hit on Steve Fuller. 1774 01:53:41,800 --> 01:53:46,800 Second and 10, 8.38 to go is a football game, 3-0 Tampa Bay. 1775 01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:50,800 Williams and McKnight are behind the quarterback, Steve Fuller. 1776 01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:52,800 He's passing on second down. 1777 01:53:52,800 --> 01:53:57,800 Looking fire, incomplete. 1778 01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:00,800 Looks like he was trying to get it to his running back Mike Williams. 1779 01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:02,800 But Richard Wood was right there. 1780 01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:08,800 While they were complaining, Fuller went over to the referee and they were really complaining because it looked like Richard Wood might have hit him. 1781 01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:12,800 But he's in the blocking position at that particular point. 1782 01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:14,800 Richard Wood banged him real good. 1783 01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:16,800 But he's in the backfield and it's perfectly legal. 1784 01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:18,800 Curtis Jordan not replacing Cecil Johnson. 1785 01:54:18,800 --> 01:54:19,800 It was a good call. 1786 01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:22,800 Third down and 10 for the 20, the crowd yelling defense. 1787 01:54:22,800 --> 01:54:25,800 Some 64,000 here this afternoon. 1788 01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:29,800 And the Buccaneers, Wally Chambers back in there now. 1789 01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:30,800 Replacing Bill Kohler. 1790 01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:34,800 Third and 10, 8.33 to go in the game, 3-0 Tampa Bay. 1791 01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:36,800 Wide receivers to either side now. 1792 01:54:36,800 --> 01:54:38,800 Steve Fuller takes the deep drop. 1793 01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:39,800 Getting good protection. 1794 01:54:39,800 --> 01:54:40,800 Double pump. 1795 01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:41,800 Gets away for one man. 1796 01:54:41,800 --> 01:54:43,800 Now he's going to have to run it. 1797 01:54:43,800 --> 01:54:46,800 He goes down short of the first down and 25. 1798 01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:50,800 Excellent coverage downfield by the Buccaneers secondary. 1799 01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:52,800 And Wally Chambers getting up slowly. 1800 01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:53,800 Lifting. 1801 01:54:53,800 --> 01:54:55,800 He's the guy who forced the play. 1802 01:54:55,800 --> 01:54:58,800 Yeah, he just literally took that defense off into tackle. 1803 01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:03,800 If Bob Simmons is playing for injured Jim Nicholson and he took him right in the back. 1804 01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:07,800 He jumped over at the last second and really forced Fuller out of the pocket. 1805 01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:11,800 Fuller stumbling, not really able to gain his composure or his footing. 1806 01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:14,800 And he fell well short bringing up the putting situation. 1807 01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:16,800 7.53 on the clock running. 1808 01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:17,800 It is forced down. 1809 01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:18,800 It snaps the grunt. 1810 01:55:18,800 --> 01:55:19,800 He's going to get it away. 1811 01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:20,800 It's a long liner. 1812 01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:21,800 The wobbler hits it midfield. 1813 01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:26,800 Danny Reese picks it up at the 40 and dives forward to the 44-yard line. 1814 01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:28,800 And that's where the Buccaneers take over. 1815 01:55:28,800 --> 01:55:31,800 Excellent field position with 7.42 to go. 1816 01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:34,800 35-yard punt and a four-yard return by Danny Reese. 1817 01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:40,800 The score, Tampa Bay 3, Kansas City nothing on the Buccaneer Radio Network. 1818 01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:45,800 At the end of the third quarter, Minnesota leading New England by the score of 16-7. 1819 01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:50,800 That's at the end of the third period. 1820 01:55:50,800 --> 01:55:55,800 In college basketball on Saturday and throughout the week, let's do this. 1821 01:55:55,800 --> 01:55:58,800 Let's take a look and see how the top-ranked teams did over the past week. 1822 01:55:58,800 --> 01:56:04,800 Number one, Indiana beat Georgetown by seven points but lost to Kentucky by nine points. 1823 01:56:04,800 --> 01:56:07,800 Kentucky beating the top-ranked two-shoes, 69-58. 1824 01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:10,800 Duke beat Pennsylvania 70-57. 1825 01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:15,800 Third-ranked Ohio State beat West Virginia, Cal Poly Pomona, and Holy Cross. 1826 01:56:15,800 --> 01:56:20,800 Fourth-ranked Notre Dame beat UCLA and St. Joseph's of Indiana. 1827 01:56:20,800 --> 01:56:24,800 Fifth-ranked Kentucky beat South Carolina, Kansas, and Indiana. 1828 01:56:24,800 --> 01:56:29,800 Sixth-ranked UCLA lost to Notre Dame and lost to DePaul. 1829 01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:31,800 Seventh-ranked LSU beat Maine. 1830 01:56:31,800 --> 01:56:33,800 Eighth-ranked North Carolina beat Detroit. 1831 01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:35,800 Ninth-ranked Purdue beat Nebraska. 1832 01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:39,800 And tenth-ranked DePaul beat Texas, Northern Illinois, and UCLA. 1833 01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:41,800 Motion Larry Mucker to the right side. 1834 01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:43,800 The handoff goes to Bell. 1835 01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:44,800 Bell to the 45. 1836 01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:50,800 Ricky shoots his way to midfield and he slithers along the field with a 49-yard line. 1837 01:56:50,800 --> 01:56:52,800 Thomas Howard, the right linebacker. 1838 01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:55,800 Good. First down pick up by Ricky Bell to midfield. 1839 01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:58,800 Again on the play of about six yards. 1840 01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:00,800 Seven-twenty-three. 1841 01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:01,800 The clock running. 1842 01:57:01,800 --> 01:57:03,800 Tampa Bay three. 1843 01:57:03,800 --> 01:57:07,800 Kansas getting nothing on the 19-yard field goal by Neil LaDonahue. 1844 01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:11,800 Johnny Davis in the lineup now replacing Ricky Bell. 1845 01:57:11,800 --> 01:57:14,800 Bell gets the breather over 100 yards once again. 1846 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,800 The Bears are leading day 21-nothing now. 1847 01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:20,800 Yeah, with almost a minute and a half left to go, Walder-Payton is short, 1848 01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:22,800 so now they lead 21-nothing over St. Louis. 1849 01:57:22,800 --> 01:57:25,800 The Bucks remain with two side ends, Ogladovich and Giles. 1850 01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:27,800 Davidson Eckwood in the backfield now. 1851 01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:32,800 Handoff Jerry Eckwood, and he is hit by Don Perry for those tackles at the 49-yard line. 1852 01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:36,800 And now the Buccaneers are faced with a third down three. 1853 01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:39,800 As the clock continues to run. 1854 01:57:39,800 --> 01:57:41,800 By the way, again, we mentioned it earlier, 1855 01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:44,800 but today's game is being broadcast over the American Forces Radio Network. 1856 01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:48,800 People are listening to the Bucks game around the world from Europe to Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. 1857 01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:52,800 We thank you for listening to the Buccaneers wherever you are in the world. 1858 01:57:52,800 --> 01:57:54,800 And season greetings from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 1859 01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:57,800 And, of course, we at the Buccaneer Radio Network. 1860 01:57:57,800 --> 01:58:00,800 Bell back in. Bell and Eckwood. 1861 01:58:00,800 --> 01:58:02,800 He's got to be excited about this game. 1862 01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:06,800 6-19 to go. Third and three. 1863 01:58:06,800 --> 01:58:09,800 Just across midfield into Kansas City territory at the 49. 1864 01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:11,800 Larry Mucker in motion right side. 1865 01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:13,800 Pitch left to Jerry Eckwood. 1866 01:58:13,800 --> 01:58:15,800 Let's see if he can get the big first down. 1867 01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:18,800 He's fighting off tacklers. He's got to be short. 1868 01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:21,800 Really fall off. Let's see. We may have had a flag drop. We did. 1869 01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:26,800 I think we might have had a face mask. 1870 01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:30,800 We got a flag. This one is on the Buccaneer side of the field. 1871 01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:34,800 Well, it looks like some of the Bucs people were signaling face masks. 1872 01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:35,800 It is. 1873 01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:38,800 And that will give the Buccaneers a first down. 1874 01:58:38,800 --> 01:58:41,800 It may have been against Gary Green. 1875 01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:44,800 Gary Green may have been the guilty party. 1876 01:58:44,800 --> 01:58:48,800 And that will give the Bucs a first down with 5.56 to go in this game. 1877 01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:53,800 They mark it off five yards. It is not a blatant face mask. 1878 01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:56,800 Mark, you were very right when you were saying on the sidelines, 1879 01:58:56,800 --> 01:59:01,800 because that official had a lot of help from several players and some coaches and equipment people, trainers. 1880 01:59:01,800 --> 01:59:04,800 Everybody on the Bucs sideline pointed it out. 1881 01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:08,800 And the field judge in this particular side threw the flag. 1882 01:59:08,800 --> 01:59:13,800 He was not as close. He was a little deeper than the normal man, the line judge, the head lineman. 1883 01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:17,800 And still he threw it. But he did get a lot of help from the players on the side. 1884 01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:21,800 In fact, several Bucs players came out onto the field, and I thought they may be penalized for that. 1885 01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:26,800 Looks like, well, we've got some type of a timeout situation here. 1886 01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:28,800 And the officials are over. 1887 01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:32,800 They're talking about, I believe, the players coming out onto the field. 1888 01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:40,800 Or is it the official's microphone not working? I'm not sure what the problem is. 1889 01:59:40,800 --> 01:59:43,800 The officials have called the timeout to discuss something. 1890 01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:47,800 I think the official's mic is not working. 1891 01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:51,800 We are trying to really tell what they're talking about. 1892 01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:55,800 We have 5.56 remaining in the football game. 1893 01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:58,800 And the penalty was called against 59. 1894 01:59:58,800 --> 02:00:04,800 Gary Spanning, the right-inside linebacker for Kansas City. 1895 02:00:04,800 --> 02:00:06,800 But it was a big, big penalty. 1896 02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:09,800 May well be the biggest of the year for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 1897 02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:12,800 That's true, Mark. You know, it's very important. 1898 02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:15,800 I don't blame the officials for trying to get this mic situation straightened out, 1899 02:00:15,800 --> 02:00:18,800 but this is getting down to the last six minutes of the play. 1900 02:00:18,800 --> 02:00:20,800 They want to make sure everything's functioning. 1901 02:00:20,800 --> 02:00:25,800 If there's a questionable call, they want to be able to make sure they can explain it properly. 1902 02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:28,800 You recall when we played in Minnesota earlier in the season, 1903 02:00:28,800 --> 02:00:31,800 the official was the only source of time that we had. 1904 02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:35,800 And it's very important that he get that thing working, so that's what he was stopping the clock for. 1905 02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:39,800 First and 10, Kansas City 44-yard line for the Buccaneers. 1906 02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:43,800 Bell and Davis in the backfield now. In motion goes Larry Mucker. 1907 02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:47,800 And the handoff goes to Ricky Bell, and he shoots up to about the 40-yard line, 1908 02:00:47,800 --> 02:00:51,800 maybe inside of the 39, fading the tackle. 1909 02:00:51,800 --> 02:00:54,800 Second down, five yards to go now for Tampa Bay. 1910 02:00:54,800 --> 02:00:58,800 The rain's very, very light now here at Tampa Stadium. 1911 02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:00,800 He's a five-second line in. 1912 02:01:00,800 --> 02:01:08,800 Ricky Bell is 125 yards and 35 carries, and he's having an outstanding day. 1913 02:01:08,800 --> 02:01:12,800 He's past the 1,200 mark coming into the game at 1126. 1914 02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:20,800 He's at 1,251 and very, very instrumental in this very time-consuming ground attack that the Bucs have mounted this quarter. 1915 02:01:20,800 --> 02:01:23,800 Second down, about five yards to go for the Buccaneers. 1916 02:01:23,800 --> 02:01:27,800 The back starts split. Bell and Davis in motion goes Morris Owens. 1917 02:01:27,800 --> 02:01:30,800 Handoff, Ricky Bell, a sure handoff, and he is not going to get much. 1918 02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:37,800 Down to the 39-yard line, tackle made by Calvin Peterson, who is back in there, and left outside linebacker. 1919 02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:42,800 The former Buccaneer, third down, still about five yards to go. 1920 02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:48,800 The rain is just about stopped now. The field has soaked up a little bit. 1921 02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:51,800 Still very soggy in between the 30s. 1922 02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:57,800 But there's not a lot of standing water left, which is indicative of the fine ground keeping they have here. 1923 02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:02,800 And they do an excellent job at Tampa Sports Authority, and they keep this field in great shape. 1924 02:02:02,800 --> 02:02:10,800 440, the clock running, the Bucs lead at three to nothing, third down and about five yards to go for the Kansas City 38-yard line. 1925 02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:17,800 Big play. Handoff, rolling left, Doug Williams for the keeper, cuts up side and he is very close. 1926 02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:24,800 Very close to the first down at the 33-yard line. Another bootleg play by Doug Williams, about the third one we've seen today. 1927 02:02:24,800 --> 02:02:27,800 First down, Tampa Bay. 1928 02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:38,800 And the third, Christopher, the strong safety, made the stop. Boy, I'll tell you what, Doug Williams may have thrown a couple of interceptions today, but he has been a big man on those rollouts. 1929 02:02:38,800 --> 02:02:44,800 That's true. I'm sure they spotted something in the defense of Kansas City because they've been fairly vulnerable on that. 1930 02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:49,800 They must be charging down or chasing quite a bit because he's run that play three times. 1931 02:02:49,800 --> 02:02:55,800 He's gained 20 yards so far and a couple key first downs, and Doug's running has been a big factor keeping a couple drives going. 1932 02:02:55,800 --> 02:03:01,800 3.50 and the clock is running here, first and 10, Kansas City 33-yard line, the Bucs heading toward the north end zone. 1933 02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:08,800 Let's hope they get there. Davis and Bell. Handoff, Ricky Bell finds some opening, gets to the 30 and down to the 29. 1934 02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:21,800 Jerry Fibero, the free safety on the tackle. 1935 02:03:21,800 --> 02:03:26,800 It is second down and six yards to go with 3.17 and the clock running. 1936 02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:34,800 Mark, I notice Doug is really watching the 30-second clock. It's down to 20 and the Bucs are shuttling a lot of people in, but he's taking maximum time. 1937 02:03:34,800 --> 02:03:40,800 That play went off with two seconds to go on that, and he's got to use it up. He's got 10. He's got to get him to the huddle fairly fast now. 1938 02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:42,800 Now it's 11 and counting. 1939 02:03:42,800 --> 02:03:47,800 Johnny Davis went off the field, so Jerry Eckwood back in on second down and six. 1940 02:03:47,800 --> 02:03:56,800 Mark, I see that's the one and Bell, behind Doug Williams. He's using up every second. Another bootleg. He's to the 25. Doug Natalie, 23-yard line. 1941 02:03:56,800 --> 02:03:58,800 Close to another first down. I think he may have it. 1942 02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:02,800 Well, I'll tell you, he did something that was extremely wise. He went down and stayed inbounds. 1943 02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:10,800 He could have got out of bounds and stayed a little way around here on his body mark, but he went down, staying inbounds, bringing up a measurement. 1944 02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:17,800 It's going to be very, very close, but the clock is going to continue as soon as this timeout is over for the measurement. 1945 02:04:17,800 --> 02:04:26,800 Another bootleg play by Doug Williams, 233. As they said, the clock will start again, and the measurement, he is short by inches. 1946 02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:31,800 Just short. It's going to be very, very close. 1947 02:04:31,800 --> 02:04:36,800 The Buccaneers will run another play, and as soon as they place the ball down, the clock should start running. 1948 02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:46,800 And then they could probably run it down to the two-minute warning. There's 233 to play, and the clock will start as soon as the chains get back. 1949 02:04:46,800 --> 02:04:50,800 Second down, and inches to go. 1950 02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:53,800 Or rather, third down and inches to go. 1951 02:04:53,800 --> 02:04:58,800 Third down and inches. Third down and inches for Tapa Bay. 1952 02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:04,800 231 of the clock is now running. Now he's keeping them in the huddle. He says, let's stay here. Let's keep an eye on the 30-second clock. 1953 02:05:04,800 --> 02:05:10,800 They're all looking around and looking at both ends. Got plenty of time. The 30-second clock is down to 16 and counting. 1954 02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:15,800 I wouldn't be surprised to see Doug go with a quarterback streak, although they do have four defensive linemen. 1955 02:05:15,800 --> 02:05:19,800 Davis is back in, along with Ricky Bell. Johnny Davis comes back on. 1956 02:05:19,800 --> 02:05:22,800 Third down and just Doug keeps it. 1957 02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:30,800 Pulls his way ahead, and he only had to get about a half a foot. So let's see if they give him the forward momentum. If they do, he should have it. 1958 02:05:30,800 --> 02:05:38,800 The clock is stopped. 2.04 to go. Two minutes, four seconds here in the football game. Let's see where they place it down. 1959 02:05:38,800 --> 02:05:42,800 Do they have another measurement? Let's see. 1960 02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:48,800 First down. The Buccaneers pick up the first down, and that'll take it down to the two-minute warning. 1961 02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:52,800 They just stopped the clock here, and that should bring it down to the two-minute warning. 1962 02:05:52,800 --> 02:05:58,800 Now that offensive line just wedged. Steve Wilson in the middle, naturally. Greg Horton, the left guard. Greg Roberts, the right guard. 1963 02:05:58,800 --> 02:06:06,800 They formed a wedge, and Doug just went behind them. What's the score? Tampa Bay 3, Kansas City nothing. We'll be back after this word. 1964 02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:13,800 Don Calhoun has scored on a two-yard run. So in the fourth quarter, Minnesota's lead over New England has been cut to just two points. 1965 02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:20,800 It's Minnesota 16, New England 14. Walter Payton has scored his second touchdown of the afternoon for the Chicago Bears. 1966 02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:27,800 This one a five-yard romp. He scored earlier on a one-yard run. And in Chicago 21, St. Louis nothing. 1967 02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:36,800 That game is in the second quarter at Chicago. At the end of the third quarter, Pittsburgh 21, Buffalo nothing. 1968 02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:46,800 So to review for you, Pittsburgh 21 to nothing over Buffalo after three. Also after three periods, Cincinnati 13, Cleveland 6. 1969 02:06:46,800 --> 02:06:53,800 In the fourth quarter, Minnesota 16, New England 14. Baltimore leading the Giants in the fourth quarter, 24 to 7. 1970 02:06:53,800 --> 02:07:03,800 San Francisco leading Atlanta in the fourth quarter, 21 to 17. In the second quarter, Chicago 21 to nothing over the St. Louis Cardinals. 1971 02:07:03,800 --> 02:07:09,800 Later, Washington is at Dallas, New Orleans at Los Angeles, and Seattle at Oakland. 1972 02:07:09,800 --> 02:07:17,800 Mark champion Dave Kucerich back with you at Tampa Stadium. We are down to the final two minutes. Two minutes stand in the way. 1973 02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:24,800 The Buccaneers being the NFC Central Division champions. They lead on the foot of Neil Modani. A 19-yard field goal. 1974 02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:29,800 And it's three-nothing. The Buccaneers have it first and 10 at the 22. 1975 02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:38,800 Regardless of what happens in this game, our co-most valuable player award winners, the Bad Buck award winners, are Doug Williams and Richard Wood. 1976 02:07:38,800 --> 02:07:46,800 The Batman with two. Big interception. And Doug Williams, who has done a job of those bootleg plays, and he just picked up another crucial first down. 1977 02:07:46,800 --> 02:07:59,800 And now Tony Davis is coming on the field for the Bucs. Tony Davis. And coming off the field is now Johnny Davis. 1978 02:07:59,800 --> 02:08:10,800 By the way, the winner of the trip to the Super Bowl, the name of mascot winner, Captain Crush, is Jim Humbach of Bradenton Beach, Florida. 1979 02:08:10,800 --> 02:08:17,800 So he's the winner of the Super Bowl trip via Eastern Airlines. And travel accommodations by Tiny Tigers Travel. 1980 02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:27,800 First and 10. 22-yard line. Tony Davis in along with Ricky Bell. They are split behind Doug Williams. 1981 02:08:27,800 --> 02:08:37,800 In motion goes Larry Mucker to the right side. And the handoff goes to Ricky Bell inside the 20, down to the 16-yard line. 1982 02:08:37,800 --> 02:08:44,800 For the minute 54, Kansas City may have called a timeout. The clock has been stopped. Johnny Davis now coming back on. 1983 02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:51,800 Tony Davis from his blocking back with a fine block that time, kicking out, allowing Ricky Bell an opportunity to come on in. 1984 02:08:51,800 --> 02:09:00,800 Doug Williams is coming over to John McKay and Bill Nelson for the little offensive discussion, but they're going to be very basic. 1985 02:09:00,800 --> 02:09:10,800 Well, the minute 54 remaining here in the football game as the timeout was called there. The Buccaneers leading it 3-0. 1986 02:09:10,800 --> 02:09:18,800 You can feel the electricity beginning to build in this rain-soaked crowd. And they are all anxiously awaiting. 1987 02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:22,800 They would love a minute 54 to suddenly just disappear from the clock. 1988 02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:29,800 That's right, Mark. And it's just been a tribute to the Tampa fans throughout the entire season because this is, I don't think there's a dry rear end in the stadium. 1989 02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:34,800 My mind's kind of dry, but Dave Green sat in my seat at halftime and it also got very wet. 1990 02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:40,800 I don't think anybody out in that stadium has a dry spot on their body and I don't think many people have left it. 1991 02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:46,800 The water was cascading down the stands and it's just been raining and miserable. It's gotten windy and cool and nobody's left it. 1992 02:09:46,800 --> 02:09:52,800 I think it's just a tribute to this town, this fine team. They had been struggling three straight weeks. 1993 02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:57,800 They should have put it away and couldn't and didn't, but everybody showed up. 1994 02:09:57,800 --> 02:10:05,800 And those shows were more than I thought, particularly in lieu of the fact that the game would not be telecast, but the weather was just horrendous and it's been that way. 1995 02:10:05,800 --> 02:10:11,800 Much of the game looks like a light mist is still going. The field is dried out slightly, but it's still difficult. 1996 02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:17,800 But again, really my hat is off to this Gilbert Tampa fan group. It's unbelievable. 1997 02:10:17,800 --> 02:10:25,800 Tampa Bay area, central Florida, central western Florida has just been sensational in the support. Every league game has been sold out. 1998 02:10:25,800 --> 02:10:33,800 I agree and especially today they really came to the occasion. Second down and 416 yard line. Bucker flanks wide to the right, two tight ends. 1999 02:10:33,800 --> 02:10:39,800 The running backs are Jerry Eckwood and Ricky Bell. Eckwood and Bell in the backfield now. 2000 02:10:39,800 --> 02:10:48,800 Second down, handoff goes to the big man Ricky Bell. He's caught, gets away from one man, dives forward to about the line of scrimmage and Kansas City signals for another timeout. 2001 02:10:48,800 --> 02:10:53,800 With a score Tampa Bay 3, Kansas City nothing on the Buccaneer radio network. 2002 02:10:53,800 --> 02:10:58,800 With the first third of the season in the record books, the National Hockey League shows a slight jump in attendance. 2003 02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:04,800 But much of that can be attributed to the four new franchises that came into the National Hockey League from the WHA. 2004 02:11:04,800 --> 02:11:15,800 All four of the Old World Hockey Association teams have shown increases in attendance, including a leap of better than 4,800 fans at a game in Edmonton and almost 4,000 in contests in Winnipeg. 2005 02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:22,800 All are playing at or near capacity. In contrast, several older teams have suffered reversals at the box office. 2006 02:11:22,800 --> 02:11:26,800 The biggest losers, the Boston Bruins and the Atlanta Flames. 2007 02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:31,800 Despite having one of the top teams in hockey, the Bruins are down almost 1,400 fans a game. 2008 02:11:31,800 --> 02:11:37,800 And the Flames, who are struggling at about a 500 clip, have lost almost 1,700 for contests. 2009 02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:40,800 Success on the ice has helped a couple of franchises. 2010 02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:45,800 The Minnesota North Stars, this year's surprise team, up about 3,500 a game. 2011 02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:53,800 And the Los Angeles Kings, Strong Early, showing there. And that's boosted attendance there by nearly 1,600 a game. 2012 02:11:53,800 --> 02:12:02,800 Third down and four. Jerry Eckwood off the right side. He's going to get down to the 15, to the 10, and first down to the Buccaneers at the nine yard line. 2013 02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:08,800 Good second effort by Jerry Eckwood. And the Chiefs have it one time out. 2014 02:12:08,800 --> 02:12:15,800 I don't know, Jimmy Giles came up with the ball. I do not know if Eckwood fumbled or not, but 120 and counting. 2015 02:12:15,800 --> 02:12:19,800 And now the clock has been stopped. Kansas City's final time out. A time out with a score. 2016 02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:22,800 Tampa Bay three, Kansas City nothing. We'll be back. 2017 02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:27,800 Grogan has just hit Jackson with a 41 yard touchdown pass. 2018 02:12:27,800 --> 02:12:31,800 And New England and Minnesota trading off the lead almost every time they score. 2019 02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:37,800 It's now New England 21, Minnesota 16. That game is midway through the fourth quarter. 2020 02:12:37,800 --> 02:12:41,800 It's being contested at New England. 2021 02:12:41,800 --> 02:12:53,800 In college basketball tournament action at the Bull City Holiday Classic Championship game, Fayetteville State over St. Augustine's 95-77. 2022 02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:59,800 In the Cougar Classic Championship, BYU 108, LaSalle 106 in triple overtime. 2023 02:12:59,800 --> 02:13:06,800 Third place to Santa Clara, Santa Barbara, University of California Santa Barbara 66-61 over Texas A&M. 2024 02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:12,800 In the Fighting Illini Classic, Illinois winning the championship 47-40 over Illinois State. 2025 02:13:12,800 --> 02:13:16,800 Third place to Eastern Illinois 65-59 over Kentucky State. 2026 02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:21,800 In the Golden Gate Invitational Championship San Francisco 68, Oklahoma 61. 2027 02:13:21,800 --> 02:13:27,800 Third place to Utah 82-73 over Pacific. 2028 02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:37,800 The Kansas City 9 yard line. Joey Eckwood in the backfield along with Johnny Davis. Two tied in. In motion Laurie Mucker. No more timeouts for Kansas City. 2029 02:13:37,800 --> 02:13:43,800 Doug simply goes down with it. The quarterback keeper to about the 8 yard line. A minute 16 to the clock running. 2030 02:13:43,800 --> 02:13:49,800 Remember Kansas City has no more timeouts and the Buccaneers have three more plays. 2031 02:13:49,800 --> 02:13:53,800 So this football game a minute 7, a minute 6 to go. 2032 02:13:53,800 --> 02:13:59,800 And I'll tell you what, this crowd is beginning to sense it. 2033 02:13:59,800 --> 02:14:03,800 The Buccaneers 58 seconds away from the playoff. 2034 02:14:03,800 --> 02:14:12,800 Here we go. The players are really whooping it up on the sidelines. This is what it's like to see. 2035 02:14:12,800 --> 02:14:16,800 A bunch of kids down there, they deserve it. 2036 02:14:16,800 --> 02:14:25,800 Doug Williams with 40 seconds to go in the football game. Second and goal. Doug Williams a long single county goes down. 2037 02:14:25,800 --> 02:14:31,800 That might do it. 31 seconds. 30 seconds. 2038 02:14:31,800 --> 02:14:40,800 That's it. The Buccaneers are the NFC Central Division champions and we are popping the campaign. 2039 02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:49,800 The Buccaneers have won the NFC Central Division title with an exciting 3 to nothing win over the Kansas City Chiefs here at Tampa Stadium. 2040 02:14:49,800 --> 02:14:54,800 They battled the elements. They battled the raid all day long. 2041 02:14:54,800 --> 02:15:00,800 And the Buccaneers are Central Division champions. They go to the playoff. 2042 02:15:00,800 --> 02:15:04,800 They go to the playoff. That is it. 2043 02:15:04,800 --> 02:15:11,800 From Tampa Stadium, we hope you enjoyed it because your Buccaneers are now the NFC Central Division champions. 2044 02:15:11,800 --> 02:15:37,800 3 to nothing over Kansas City.
