00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:16,000
The San Diego Chargers faced the Buffalo Bills for the American Football League Championship game on Saturday, December 26th, 1964.

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:27,000
The Chargers were AFL champions in 1963 and finished 1964 in first place in the Western Division with an 8-5-1 record under head coach Sid Gilman.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:36,000
The Bills dominated the AFL landscape in 1964, finishing with a 12-2 record including two victories over the Chargers in the regular season.

5
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
They were led by head coach Lou Saban.

6
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:48,000
This audio recording is not a complete broadcast of the game, but does include several key plays, commentary, commercials, and locker room interviews after the game.

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:56,000
The audio is from the Buffalo Radio broadcast featuring announcers Van Miller, Dick Riffenberg, and Ralph Hubbell.

8
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:05,000
The field is in good condition. The top was removed. There is solid footing. We walked across about half of it, and it's ready to play this game this afternoon.

9
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And ready to set the stage for the kickoff in just a moment will be my colleague on the Bills broadcast, Ralph Hubbell.

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000
But before we rejoin Ralph, let's take a minute out for this message on the Buffalo Bills football network.

11
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Dad and mother, sister, brother, all good neighbors, kind of gather. Western is the place, he says.

12
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Deposits made today, earn top interest right away.

13
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Fave it, Western, friend, and don't be late.

14
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
For the better things in life you've always wanted.

15
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Save the dollars each week, just bank a few.

16
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Stop in at Western, baby.

17
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Western's the friendly bank for you.

18
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Come in and open your 1965 Christmas Club account at any one of Western's savings banks, three convenient offices.

19
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
And while you're in the bank, be sure to pick up your free copy of the Farmer's Almanac.

20
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:10,000
... here in the city of Buffalo, New York, where the American Football League overall championship game will be played starting in about three or four minutes.

21
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
We're still waiting for the players to be introduced down on the field.

22
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:24,000
If you have time, we'd like very much to thank all of the fans along our Buffalo Bills football network for their fine loyalty through the years.

23
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And we just hope that you will continue to play on our side and that Buffalo will be able to send great football your way.

24
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:42,000
The Buffalo team is going to receive on the opening kickoff, although the official formality of deciding that has not taken place in the center of the field.

25
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:53,000
We're waiting now for the officials who are getting a little bit anxious and champing it a bit, a bit, to get these fellows introduced and get the game on its way.

26
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:01,000
The fog is beginning to settle in and the lights are penetrating, are dimming just a little bit.

27
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
The official today's referee will be Bob Finley.

28
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
The umpire will be Walt Parker, now the official introduction is taking place.

29
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:20,000
The headlinesman will be Al Sabato, the backfield judge Hugh Gamber, and the field judge Frank Rustage.

30
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:32,000
One by one, these players are being brought on the field. It's been five years since the American Football League started its first organizing.

31
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And through the lane years, the Buffalo fans, Western New York fans have all stayed right with the club.

32
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000
This year they have set every attendance record for War Memorial Stadium.

33
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:51,000
And there's no question about it that whereas the Sandies are not quite as colorful as they were for the Boston game a month or so ago,

34
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
they're still standing down there on the right and the stands themselves are being packed to capacity.

35
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Right now with a faint applause, the San Diego team is being introduced.

36
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000
However, in comparison to what we saw a week ago at snowbound Boston, the booing by Buffalo fans is not in evidence at all.

37
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:23,000
The Boston fans seem to take great delight in booing every single member of the Buffalo team and especially Cookie Gilgrips.

38
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:32,000
The last title game that the Buffalo Bills played in, but not as these Bills, was in 1948 when Cleveland won by a score of 49-7 in Cleveland.

39
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
And I remember that game but too well.

40
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Four years of the All-American Conference for the Buffalo Bills and now five years for the Bills here

41
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
and they get another crack at the overall championship of the league.

42
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000
And now the Buffalo Bills are about to be introduced and I rather imagine you'll hear some cheering and they tell us

43
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,000
that Lou Saban, who has not been taking any bows this year, is going to be introduced before the game starts.

44
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Right here we have the champs.

45
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
As these fellows are introduced, we'll call them off for you.

46
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Rolly McDowell is just introduced. Here's Jim Dunaway, the tackle.

47
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And that great big man, Tom Sestak from McNeese State, coming out now.

48
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:31,000
He'll be followed by the right end, Tommy Day.

49
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:42,000
The left linebacker is John Tracy, number 51, coming out now.

50
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000
These are all great ball players, integrated into a great system of football.

51
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
The middle linebacker is number 64, Harry Jacobs.

52
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:06,000
The right linebacker is the blonde, Mike Stratton, number 58.

53
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Here comes number 22, left halfback, left Tracy.

54
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Will be Dean Sykes, number 23.

55
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,000
And I cross this up. They did the right halfback, George Byrd, number 42, not Dean Sykes.

56
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And the next one, and the last one to be introduced, will be George Mane, who will play right safety.

57
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So it's a defensive lineup.

58
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Mane gets a tremendous hand.

59
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Patrick Roeder, one of the officials of the Lambo Hill, is giving Lou an oil painting of himself.

60
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And we'll try to catch some of the words.

61
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:13,000
And this next one, we would like to present to the players, we're going to go to the ring to the Lambo Hill family, going to go to the rim.

62
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Thank you Ralph, and Merry Christmas everybody.

63
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
And here we go, for the American Football League Championship of 1964.

64
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Jim Warren and Leslie Duncan are standing beneath the upright as Gogolak gets ready to side foot this ball and start the championship game.

65
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Today's crowd will set a championship game record in the American Football League.

66
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000
It will be in the neighborhood of 40,000. The lights are on, the temperature is 47, Gogolak sets the ball on the tee.

67
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
And wherever you are, we hope you'll enjoy our broadcast this afternoon.

68
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Warren and Duncan of the Chargers are waiting, and here is Gogolak approaching the ball and he kicks it off.

69
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:03,000
It is high and deep at the goal line and behind it, it has fumbled there and fallen on by Leslie Duncan.

70
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
There will be no run back and the Chargers will start at the 20-yard line.

71
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Heygood Clark was the first man down the field for the Bills.

72
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Their backfield will be road at quarterback, low and Lincoln the halfback, Robinson the flanker, and Norton the split end.

73
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:25,000
The center is Don Rogers. The tackles are right and mixed, the guards Weenie and Shea.

74
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Here we go, wide to the left is Norton, Robinson is out to the right.

75
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,000
In the tee, with the back set in a divide behind the tackles, the first play of the game.

76
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Tobin Roque calls it, goes back to pass, gets good protection and gives up the middle to Lincoln, who breaks through to the midfield stripe and is tackled at the Buffalo 41-yard line.

77
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Keith Lincoln, a beautiful fake by Roque.

78
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Charlie Warner made the tackle at the Bills 42 as Lincoln broke through for a 58-yard gain at the Bills 42-yard line.

79
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Wide to the left is Norton, to the right is Robinson.

80
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000
The back set to the weak side, Roque calling his play with Lincoln and Lowe behind him.

81
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,000
He gives off again to Lincoln and Lincoln gets about five yards, off right tackle.

82
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,000
He is stopped by Susak and McDowell at the Bills 37-yard line.

83
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Right goes Robinson, Kasuric is out there too as double flankers.

84
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
They have a slot back to the left in Lincoln and a wing back to the right.

85
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Here's the pass, it is good to Lincoln and he is upended at about the 26-yard line in a spread formation, double wing and double flankers.

86
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Sames made the stop at the Bills 26 and the Chargers are on the move.

87
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Got a first down.

88
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Well, you can expect Sid Gilman to use everything in the book this afternoon, the same formation.

89
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000
A wing back wide to the right this time, double flankers to the right and a split left end.

90
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Here's Roque faking back the pass.

91
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
He drove long and it is caught for the touchdown by Dave Kasuric.

92
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And the Chargers lead 6-0 as they drove 80 yards in about five plays.

93
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And there's the San Diego Cannon.

94
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:30,000
As the Chargers go out in front with 12.49 left in the first quarter, they have scored in four plays, moving 80 yards.

95
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Lincoln is coming in to try the point, keep Lincoln with road holding.

96
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
The Bills stunned on this drive and they trail 6-0.

97
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Here's the try for point, it is good.

98
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
The score is 7-0.

99
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:53,000
San Diego leads and we'll be back in one minute.

100
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Once again, friends, we greet you from War Memorial Stadium where in electrifying fashion the San Diego Chargers have taken a 7-0 lead over the Buffalo Bills in this championship AFL game.

101
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Dave Kasuric scored on a pass from Tobin Roach, a 26 yarder, and Lincoln kicked the extra point.

102
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,000
So it's San Diego 7 and Buffalo nothing as the kickoff comes up and here again is Van Miller.

103
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Warner is deep with Rutkowski, Lincoln kicks off, it is high and short.

104
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Coming up on the ball, Rutkowski at the 15 to the 20, the 25, the 30, the 35, out to the 40 yard line and down he goes.

105
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
We're in the first quarter with 12.31 to play and the clock is running.

106
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Jack Kemp was the quarterback.

107
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Carleton and Gilchrist are the running backs.

108
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
DuVernay is flanked to the right.

109
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Here's Kemp giving off to Carleton.

110
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,000
He finds a good hole and roars up to the 48 or 9 yard line.

111
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Off right tackle.

112
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:56,000
He was stopped by Bud Whitehead, the safety man, and Dick Westmoreland and Bass is the split right end.

113
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Here is the call by Jack Kemp, the quarterback.

114
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
He has Gilchrist behind him.

115
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:09,000
He moves him over now behind the tackle, gives the cookie and he fights through for a first down on the plate of the San Diego 49 over right tackle.

116
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Ernie Ladd made the stop.

117
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
George Grote, the left tackle, helped out.

118
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
It will be first down for the Bills and 10 to go.

119
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Gilchrist and Carleton in a divide out behind the tackles as Kemp calls the play.

120
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:28,000
He gives off to Gilchrist again and the big guy Ladd hits him at the line of scrimmage and stops him for no gain.

121
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Ernie Ladd was there to great cookie Gilchrist at the line of scrimmage, which is the San Diego 49 yard line and he stopped him right there.

122
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
It will be second down and 10 to go for Buffalo at the Charger 49.

123
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
San Diego moved 80 yards in four plays.

124
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
They lead 7-0 with 10-43 remaining.

125
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Westmoreland is playing off him about seven yards.

126
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Bass is split right, single coverage as Kemp calls the play on second and 10.

127
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,000
He goes back to throw, looks downfield, passes and it is incomplete at the 40 yard line.

128
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Defending on the play was the middle linebacker Allen.

129
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000
And they're flip-flopping their safety men now, interchanging them.

130
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
Here is the call by Kemp on third and 10.

131
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,000
He is going to pass.

132
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
It is good to Gilchrist and then he drops the ball and it goes as an incomplete pass.

133
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Dropping back in safety for San Diego Leslie Duncan and Jim Warren or Jerry Robinson.

134
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
McGuire will punt standing at the Bills 35.

135
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Gets a good pass from center.

136
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Kicks it high for the right sideline and it goes out of bounds inside the pass.

137
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And above the seven and a half yard line.

138
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
To the right is Robinson.

139
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Norton is split left.

140
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Back to pass goes Tobin Rowe.

141
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
He throws long for Robinson and it is no good at midfield.

142
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000
But I'll tell you this, that pass was right on the button.

143
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
And Robinson who has great speed, glide to the left, Robinson to the right.

144
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Tobin Rowe calling the play.

145
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
On a trap.

146
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Into the clear momentarily out over the 20 yard line goes Paul Lowe.

147
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
George Sames finally cut him down.

148
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
It will be a first down for San Diego at the 24.

149
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000
They have Lowe and Lincoln out his wing backs in this spread formation.

150
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Here is Rowe on a quarterback draw.

151
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And he pulls away from one man and then is cut down at the 30 yard line.

152
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Falls forward to about the 31.

153
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Here is Rowe calling the play on second and three.

154
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
He's going to pass.

155
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
He throws over the middle.

156
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Lowe cannot hold the ball at midfield.

157
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:46,000
He was down there and the pass was thrown a little bit high.

158
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Wide to the right is Robinson.

159
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Norton is split to the left.

160
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Lowe and Lincoln are the setbacks.

161
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Here's the draw to Lincoln trying to get outside and they've got him over there.

162
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
And they roll him out of bounds I believe short of a first down.

163
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
McDowell and Tracy made the stop.

164
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Guy of the San Diego 34.

165
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
First down and 10.

166
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
828 to play in the first quarter.

167
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
The AFL championship game from War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo.

168
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
San Diego 7, the bill's nothing.

169
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000
The Chargers break their huddle.

170
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Don Rogers the center drops over the ball.

171
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Again that spread with a double wingback.

172
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Double flankers to the left and the split right end.

173
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Rowe back to throw.

174
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
They blitz him.

175
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:36,000
He throws long and it is almost intercepted by Stratton who was out with Paul Lowe on the play.

176
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Stratton had a hand on the ball at the Buffalo 38 but couldn't hold it.

177
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
It is second and 10.

178
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Here is Rowe calling the play.

179
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
The bills drop off a linebacker.

180
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Rowe is back to pass.

181
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
The swing pass and boy oh boy.

182
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
The man was hit hard inside the 30 by Stratton and he is hurt.

183
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000
It is Lincoln and he was really hit by Mike Stratton just as the ball came into his arms

184
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
and he was really shaken up on the play.

185
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
And Ralph you don't see any tackles harder than that.

186
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:16,000
The hardest tackle that I saw all year was one that Booker Edgerton put on here.

187
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,000
That was on cold call about six or eight weeks ago but this lad down here right now is really suffering.

188
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:29,000
He was hit so hard by Mike Stratton that he almost came out the other side.

189
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
He is still on his back down there on the field.

190
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
We are at War Memorial Stadium here in Buffalo.

191
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,000
The score is San Diego 7, Buffalo nothing.

192
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,000
The injured player is Keith Lincoln and he is stunned.

193
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000
There is no question of it.

194
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000
We are going to pause 10 seconds for station identification.

195
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Chargers at their 34.

196
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Here we go.

197
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Rowe rolling out a reverse.

198
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Norton, one man misses him and now they get him for a loss inside the 30 yard line.

199
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000
McDole made the tackle on the play.

200
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Tracy missed him but McDole got him on the split end reverse.

201
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Waiting for the snap from center on this punt, a good pass from center.

202
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
The kick is high, a beauty.

203
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Waiting for it is Haygood Clark at the 30.

204
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Up to the 35 spun around and then hit there and dropped at the 35 yard line.

205
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
721 to play in the first quarter.

206
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
Don Rogers made the tackle.

207
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
That was a 43 yard punt and a five yard return.

208
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Dubenian is flanked to the right.

209
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Double coverage on Dubenian as Kemp calls the play.

210
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
The linebackers have moved out of the picture.

211
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Let's see if he goes up the middle.

212
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000
Gilchrist trying to sweep left end.

213
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Gets away from one man and then is hit down at the 40 yard line.

214
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
A flag goes down.

215
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Maybe grabbing the face mask.

216
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Great block by Bass.

217
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
I thought maybe that Gilchrist might cut in.

218
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
They're going to penalize San Diego 15 yards.

219
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Ernie Ladd grabbed the face mask.

220
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:17,000
That pulls the ball into Charger territory to the San Diego 46 yard line.

221
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
A personal foul for grabbing the face mask on Ernie Ladd.

222
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
6'9", 295 pounds.

223
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Bass wide to the right, Dubenian flanked to the left.

224
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:34,000
He goes back to pass, looks downfield, knocked up into the air and incomplete.

225
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
It was blocked out there by alignment, Earl Faza on the left end.

226
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Five men up on the line for the Chargers.

227
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Kemp back to throw.

228
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Good to Bass.

229
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,000
And he is hit there and dropped inside the 30 yard line at about the 26th.

230
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
A 20 yard pass.

231
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
A first down for the Bills.

232
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
First down and 10 for Buffalo.

233
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
The Buffalo backfield is Kemp, Carlton, Gilchrist and Dubenian.

234
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Bass split left, Dubenian flanked right.

235
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Six men up on the line for the Chargers.

236
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Gilchrist moves over behind Kemp.

237
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,000
He goes back to pass again, looks, runs out to the right, now throws.

238
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
It is good to Warlick.

239
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,000
And he is shoved out of bounds by number 89 Ron Carpenter, the linebacker at the 11 yard line.

240
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
A 15 yard pass and a first down for Buffalo.

241
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Kemp asks the crowd to quiet down.

242
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
The backs to divide.

243
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Gilchrist to the left and Kemp to the right behind quarterback Kemp.

244
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Calls his play.

245
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Gives to Carlton.

246
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Over left tackle.

247
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Inside the 10 and down to about the 6 yard line.

248
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Good blocking out in front of him.

249
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Gross made the stop.

250
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
The left tackle.

251
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Bass is split to the right.

252
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Let's see what Kemp will do.

253
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Will he roll out or give it straight ahead?

254
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,000
He calls the play.

255
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:08,000
On the same play Carlton cuts in and is stopped at about the 4 yard line.

256
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Ladd and Gross made the tackle.

257
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Here is Kemp on that big third down play at the San Diego 5.

258
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
Third and about three and a half.

259
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
He gives to Carlton.

260
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,000
No fake.

261
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
He passes.

262
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Touchdown.

263
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000
No!

264
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
No good.

265
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,000
They say DuVenon was out of the end zone.

266
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
DuVenon was out of the end zone.

267
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
It is not a touchdown.

268
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,000
His feet did not come down.

269
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Inside the end zone with 4.21 remaining in the first period.

270
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,000
The Bills trailing 7 to nothing.

271
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
LaMonica will hold at the 12 yard line right in a little patch of sand out there on the

272
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,000
only wet part of this field where the tarps come together around the center of the field

273
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
waiting for the snap on this field goal attempt from the 12.

274
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
The kick is up and the kick is good.

275
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000
And the Chargers lead 7 to 3 after Gogolak's 12 yard field goal and we'll be back in 10

276
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
seconds on the Buffalo Bills football network.

277
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:20,000
That was brilliantly executed and has brilliantly caught but the feet were in the air and you

278
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,000
can't carry a ball that way into the out of bounds area and still have it count for points.

279
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:35,000
So Buffalo has shaved the point lead to 4 now trailed by 3 to 7 and here's Pete Gogolak

280
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
putting that ball on its tippy toes and he's all ready to boot it.

281
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Here's Matt Miller.

282
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
The deep man are Jim Warren and Leslie Duncan.

283
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Here's Gogolak approaching the ball.

284
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,000
He kicks it off high and long.

285
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
In the end zone it is taken there and going to be run out by Duncan.

286
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:59,000
5, 10, 15, 20, outside 25, 30, two men to the midfield, down to the 40.

287
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
One man gets them from behind.

288
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:08,000
A great tackle by McGuire at the 35 yard line of the Bills.

289
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
McGuire made a diving tackle.

290
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Paul Low carried to the Bills 32 yard line stopped by McDowell.

291
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
3 yards, 2nd and 7.

292
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Well Duncan almost had it all on that kickoff return.

293
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
70 yards, he got to the outside running to the right and had just two men to beat until

294
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,000
McGuire cut him down from behind.

295
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Out of the huddle come the San Diego Chargers leading 7 to 3 late in the first quarter in

296
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
that double wing spread formation.

297
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Back to pass goes Tobin Rowe.

298
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
They rush him out of the pocket.

299
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000
He looks, he passes, interception!

300
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Charlie Warner has the ball at the 28 yard line of the Bills.

301
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Sustak hit him and the Bills take over on the interception by Charlie Warner.

302
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000
First down for the Bills at the Buffalo 28 yard line.

303
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
The pass was intended for Robinson.

304
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Out of bounds and about the 40 yard line of San Diego.

305
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000
A beautiful block by Glenn Bass as Gilchrist ran outside right in.

306
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Bass, the split in, cut the corner man down on the play.

307
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Rowe made the tackle outside the San Diego 40.

308
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
The Bills got 32 yards on the play.

309
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Kemp rubbing his hand in this 47 degree weather to warm them up a little bit.

310
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Back to pass, good protection.

311
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,000
He fakes, he throws, and it is good to Dominion at the 14 yard line.

312
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Wait a minute, Warlick, it was Ernie Warlick at the 14 yard line.

313
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
A first down Buffalo.

314
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
27 yards, Bass to Warlick.

315
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
That's Buffalo, 6th first down of the game.

316
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
The Chargers have 4.

317
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
The Bills trail 7 to 3.

318
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Kemp is now 3 of 7 for 62 yards.

319
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Gilchrist has gained 38 and 4 rushes, Carlton 15 and 3.

320
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,000
First down Buffalo at the San Diego 14, and here we go.

321
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Bass flips out to the left.

322
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Dominion is the flanker back to the right.

323
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000
They have a four man front where their defense stats 3D.

324
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
Here is Kemp calling the play.

325
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Outside, cut back in, fights down there to about the 11 yard line.

326
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Petrich, the right end, and Allen, the middle linebacker, made the tackle.

327
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
They spotted at the San Diego 11.

328
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
He rolls out to the right, gets a good block.

329
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000
He's going to run, and he has tackled beautifully at the 8 yard line by Faison.

330
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,000
What a tackle by Faison right around the ankle.

331
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
They have blocked out the left corner linebacker nicely on the play.

332
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,000
It is third down and 5 for the Bills at the San Diego 8.

333
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
And you have to believe that Kemp will throw the ball in this situation

334
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:15,000
on a third down and 5 from the San Diego 8 yard line.

335
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,000
The Bills out of the huddle.

336
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Dominion flanks left.

337
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Bass is the split right end.

338
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Four seconds left in the quarter.

339
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Are they going to get the play off?

340
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
They are not.

341
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
And that is the end of the first quarter.

342
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:35,000
And we'll be back in one minute on the Buffalo Bills football network.

343
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Has come to a close with the San Diego team,

344
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000
the short of the first four plays of the game, leading by a score of 7 to 3.

345
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
And as we look down there now, Buffalo is in scoring position.

346
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
And here's Van Miller to call the play.

347
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
San Diego 8 yard line.

348
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
The last time they had a third down inside the 10.

349
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Dominion caught the ball but was over the sideline in the end zone.

350
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
And they had to settle for 3.

351
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
The Bills trailing 7 to 3.

352
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And here is the play with Kemp calling it.

353
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
He goes back to pass, looks toward the end zone, fires there.

354
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
It is almost intercepted, dropped by a San Diego linebacker,

355
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
number 55 Frank Buncombe.

356
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
And again the Bills field goal unit goes on the field.

357
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
And Gogolak will try this one from around the 15 yard line.

358
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,000
And so again the Bills have been boarded in their touchdown attempt.

359
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Now the first time they passed to Dominion they had just one man on him.

360
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
But that time the cornerback and the linebacker were covering.

361
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Buncombe had gone over to help Westmoreland.

362
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,000
This will be a 16 yard field goal attempt by Gogolak from the hash mark at the far side of the field

363
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
with LaMonica holding.

364
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
There's the buffet. LaMonica's going to run.

365
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
And he is hit at the 5 yard line.

366
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,000
And he does not get it and the Chargers take over.

367
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Diego leading 7 to 3.

368
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
It was not an option pass or run.

369
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,000
It was an obvious attempt to run right end.

370
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:11,000
Their backfield is Rote, Low, Kinderman I believe, and Robinson is the flanker.

371
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
First down at the 6 yard line.

372
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Buffalo has driven after Warner's interception from about the 28 or 9.

373
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Here's that spread formation with Rote in the middle as the quarterback.

374
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000
At the 6 yard line he gives off on an inside reverse to Kinderman.

375
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
And they second up Sestak leading the charge at about the 8 yard line.

376
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
Pass at the 5, the Low to the 10.

377
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
And he tackled and knocked down at about the 16.

378
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
And that will be I believe enough for the first down.

379
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
With 13.29 to play in the first half.

380
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
And the clock activated once again.

381
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
The Chargers leading 7 to 3.

382
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Keith Lincoln was injured when he was tackled on a swing fast play by Mike Stratton.

383
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
And has been replaced by Kinderman.

384
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Double wing, double flanker.

385
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
And here is Rote back to pass.

386
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Over the middle it is good to Kinderman at the 20.

387
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And he is hit down hard.

388
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
But first by Tracy.

389
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000
And McDowell was in to help finish him off.

390
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
And Rote on one knee in that huddle.

391
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Playing his last game today.

392
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Sends the Chargers up to the line.

393
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Rodgers to center, drops over the ball.

394
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Again that spread off the double wing and double flanker.

395
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Back to pass goes Rote.

396
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,000
The quick one is no good.

397
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000
It was intended for Paul Low at the 27 yard line.

398
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
It was thrown behind him and out of bounds.

399
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Again that double wing and spread formation.

400
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
And here is Rote back to pass.

401
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Gets good protection.

402
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Throws over the middle.

403
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
It is caught beautifully.

404
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
No, wait a minute, no good.

405
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Robinson had it at the 39 but couldn't hold it.

406
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Warner was on his back.

407
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Robinson was facing away from us and we thought he had the ball.

408
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
But when he fell he did not have it.

409
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
And so the Chargers will have to punt on fourth and five from their 21 yard line.

410
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000
The Bills have Clark and Rakowski upfield.

411
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Low pass from center.

412
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
He scoops it up and gets it away.

413
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
It is taken at the 45.

414
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Fumbled by Rakowski.

415
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
I think the Bills have it.

416
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Clark rather fumbled it and fell on the ball at the 44 yard line of Buffalo.

417
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
And the Bills have a first and tenth.

418
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
That was a 35 yard punt.

419
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
And Hadal did a good job of scooping the ball up.

420
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
He trapped it off the skin part of the infield.

421
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Here is tenth.

422
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
First down.

423
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Back the throw.

424
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Good to do, Banyan, at the 40.

425
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Tackled at the 37.

426
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Jim Warren stopped him at the Chargers 37 and a half yard line.

427
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,000
We're in the second period here at War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo.

428
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
We have 11 minutes and 12 seconds to go.

429
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
And the fog is settling in.

430
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:08,000
You can even feel some moisture from it as umbrellas are beginning to go up around the stadium.

431
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Now the signal is to start the clock once again.

432
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
And that's the signal to charge Van Miller.

433
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,000
It's first and tenth for the Bills.

434
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Outside the Chargers 37.

435
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Lincoln has come back out along the sideline.

436
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Dirk Kemp on his first down play.

437
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Back the path.

438
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
The draw to Gilchrist outside.

439
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000
And he has hit and stopped at about the 33 yard line.

440
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
That was an outside draw.

441
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Instead of running up the middle, he tried to get to the outside.

442
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
He won the second quarter with 10.25 left.

443
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Jabenya is flanked to the left.

444
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Bass is the split right end.

445
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Five men on the line for San Diego.

446
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Kemp gives to Kemp and tries to tackle and it's hit there beautifully on a driving tackle by Gross.

447
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Number 33, Graham in there too.

448
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
The gain of a couple of yards to the 29.

449
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
It will be third down and about two to go.

450
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Gilchrist and Carlton are in behind Kemp.

451
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Bass is split right.

452
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Jabenya is flanked left.

453
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,000
And here's the call by Kemp.

454
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,000
To Gilchrist, he drives in there and I don't know whether he's got it or not.

455
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
It will be close.

456
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,000
In there around the 22 and a half yard line.

457
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,000
He may be a little bit short.

458
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
Are they going to measure?

459
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
They're going to take the chain in and stretch it out.

460
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:37,000
It's a first down.

461
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Nine twenty-eighths of play in the first half.

462
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
In just a moment we'll give our stations around the network an opportunity to identify themselves.

463
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Here's the play, second down, Buffalo at the San Diego 27.

464
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Kemp the quarterback with Bass to the left and Jabenya to the right.

465
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:05,000
He fakes the deep reverse to Jabenya at the 30, the 25, the 20, and down he goes at about the 19 yard line.

466
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Bud Whitehead hit him there.

467
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:14,000
They ran that play to the closed side of the field.

468
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,000
You would think that they would try to run that reverse to the open side of the field, but they didn't.

469
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:25,000
They came back to the short side, an eight yard gain at third down and two for Buffalo.

470
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Kemp rolls out.

471
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
He passes.

472
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
It is good to Gilchrist at the five.

473
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
And he's got a first down.

474
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
What a play by Kemp.

475
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Buncombe made the tackle at the four.

476
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Kemp threw the ball with Allen around his ankle.

477
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Fifteen yards at first and goal.

478
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Well, I'll tell you, Kemp did a job that time.

479
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
And Gilchrist made the catch.

480
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,000
It's awfully tough against that big front four.

481
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000
Maybe it's just an illusion, but San Diego looks so much bigger in those white jerseys.

482
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
Kemp, long count.

483
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Carlton fighting in for the touchdown.

484
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,000
Off right tackle.

485
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
And the Bills lead by a score of nine to seven.

486
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
And listen to this crowd.

487
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Daryl LaMonica will come in and hold for Pete Gogolak.

488
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Extra point try at the ten yard line.

489
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000
The Bills have gone out in front nine to seven.

490
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
San Diego led seven-three at the end of the first quarter.

491
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
The kick is up and good.

492
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000
And Buffalo lead ten to seven.

493
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,000
And we'll be back in one minute on the Buffalo Bills football network.

494
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Warren and Duncan are deep.

495
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
Here's the kickoff.

496
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
It is high.

497
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And again it goes into the end zone.

498
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Three yards.

499
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Warren is going to run it out to the ten to fifteen.

500
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:13,000
And he has hit it about the twenty-three straight on.

501
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,000
And he's got Clark within there.

502
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Duncan carried the ball.

503
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Meredith felt it in hard.

504
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
And San Diego has the first down.

505
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,000
It was Duncan who returned that kickoff to the twenty-four yard line of the Chargers.

506
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Twenty-six yard return.

507
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Over the middle, almost intercepted at the twenty-five.

508
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Zestak made a dive at the ball.

509
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Norton's split to the left.

510
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Again a pass play.

511
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Rope throwing.

512
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,000
It is batted down by Bird at the forty yard line.

513
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Intended for Norton.

514
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Bird made a great play.

515
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Third down and ten for San Diego at the Charger twenty-four.

516
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Butch Bird, the rookie from Boston University.

517
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,000
The linebackers up the blitz.

518
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Good blocking.

519
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,000
A pass out here.

520
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
A flag on the play.

521
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
It is incomplete.

522
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Intended for Robinson out of the right flat.

523
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
But now let's see what the call is going to be.

524
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Thirty-nine yard line of the Bills.

525
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,000
And Buffalo will take over there after that thirty-seven yard punt.

526
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,000
First and ten for the Bills at the Buffalo thirty-nine yard line.

527
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Jack Kemp, who again this afternoon has played brilliantly so far in this game.

528
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Throwing under tackle to Gilchrist at the four yard line to set up the Bills first touchdown of the afternoon.

529
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:42,000
It's first down at the Bills thirty-nine.

530
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Jabenian is flanked to the right.

531
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Bass to the left.

532
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
The give is to Carlton.

533
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
And he is hit after about a yard gain at the forty yard line by George Gross.

534
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
They are trying to run over Gross, the defensive left tackle.

535
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Carlton has run that same play now four times.

536
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
That time it gained a little better than a yard.

537
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,000
Bass is the split right end.

538
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Kemp calling his play for Buffalo.

539
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Back to pass a four man pattern.

540
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:18,000
He runs at the forty, forty-five midfield and dives in to the San Diego forty-seven yard line for a first down.

541
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Whitehead and Allen hit him.

542
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:26,000
And I'll tell you, Mr. Kemp just put his head down and tore into him.

543
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,000
That is ten first downs for the Bills.

544
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Thirteen yard gain for Kemp.

545
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000
First down in San Diego territory at the forty-seven.

546
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Bass is split to the left.

547
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Four forty-seven left in the first half.

548
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
The Bills lead ten to seven.

549
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000
They have a first down and ten at the San Diego forty-seven.

550
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Here is Gilchrist finding a hole inside the forty, thirty, twenty-five, twenty, fifteen, ten, and out of bounds at the eight yard line.

551
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,000
What a job Gilchrist did on that run.

552
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Really ripped on that play.

553
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,000
First and goal at the eight.

554
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
DeVinion planks to the right.

555
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Bass splits to the left.

556
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Kemp with those sleeves rolled up above the elbows calls the play.

557
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Gives the carton a good hole inside the five and down to about the two or three.

558
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,000
On that off tackle shot over Groats, the left defensive tackle.

559
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,000
He gained about five on the play.

560
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Barber blocking beautifully in there.

561
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,000
DeVinion made the stop and here we go.

562
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
Wide to the left is Bass.

563
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
DeVinion is flanked to the right.

564
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
The backs are to the weak side.

565
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,000
And here is Kemp giving again to carton.

566
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
He has hit right at the line and scrimmaged there.

567
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
Might have fallen forward for about a half a yard.

568
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,000
A good tackle by Graham, the safety man.

569
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,000
They've got him back at the ten yard line.

570
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,000
He slipped and fell just as he was ready to throw.

571
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
And Carpenter, the linebacker who was flitzing, stopped the play at the San Diego 10.

572
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,000
And the field goal unit is coming on.

573
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Two-fifty to play in the first half.

574
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:14,000
And so the Bills have had the ball now four times inside San Diego's ten yard line.

575
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,000
And the total points on the scoreboard, a field goal and a touchdown so far.

576
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:26,000
And now Gokalak is going to try a 17 yarder from the hash marks across the field.

577
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,000
The kick is up and the kick is good and the Bills lead 13 to 7.

578
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:37,000
And the 15, the 20, the 25 and he has hit outside the 30 and spun around

579
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:43,000
and dropped at about the 32 or 3 by McGuire.

580
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Dudley Meredith also helped out on that tackle.

581
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,000
28 yard return. Warren and Duncan have great speed.

582
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,000
And they have displayed it here, running back those kickoffs this afternoon.

583
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:03,000
First down San Diego, the Bills lead 13 to 7 as we approach the two minute mark in the second period.

584
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Here's Rowe the quarterback, back to pass, gets good protection.

585
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Fake swats now throws. Intercepted beautifully by Stratton.

586
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,000
He laterals the ball to Bird at the 35 and he retreats to the 30.

587
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,000
And then comes upfield to the 35, the 40, the 40.

588
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,000
At the 45 a flag on the play, midfield and down he goes.

589
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Dykes with a block, there's a flag on the play at the 42 yard line of Buffalo.

590
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
I think they are going to allow the interception and probably call a penalty

591
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,000
for clipping on the attempted return.

592
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:49,000
That's the preliminary indication now, although we'll just wait.

593
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
They're going to give San Diego the ball. Wait a minute.

594
00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:00,000
At the 42 yard line of the Bills, the official pointed San Diego downfield.

595
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
There's a discussion out there at the 43 yard line.

596
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,000
It is a first down San Diego. Apparently pass interference was the call.

597
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,000
It would have to be pass interference.

598
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Pass interference is the call.

599
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,000
All right, he threw the flag later, we didn't see it.

600
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,000
But it has to be pass interference.

601
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000
The first down Chargers at the Bills 43 yard line.

602
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:32,000
They have the double flankers and a spread, wrote back to throw.

603
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:38,000
In short, it is caught inside the 40 at the 37 yard line by Kinderman,

604
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
who was tackled by Jacobs, the middle linebacker,

605
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000
and the Chargers are asking for a timeout.

606
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
And we'll turn it back to Ralph Hubbell.

607
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Well, that was the strangest one I've seen in a long time, Van.

608
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
It didn't seem to be any immediate call of the interference penalty,

609
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,000
but of course there was so much scrambling going on that nobody was looking for flags at that time.

610
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,000
And we did, there it was.

611
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,000
And so Buffalo had a good break, what looked to be a good break.

612
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,000
They have Robinson wind to the right, Norton split to the left,

613
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
wrote the quarterback, pitches out to the halfback, low at the 35,

614
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:23,000
and inside the 30 on a good run, tackled by McDolan Day.

615
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Now was there a flag drop there? No.

616
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
They've got the ball at the 28 yard line of the San Diego Chargers,

617
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
and again the Chargers call timeout to stop the clock.

618
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Now they move it back to the 29.

619
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:40,000
It's in Buffalo territory, outside the 28, between the 28 and 9,

620
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
a first down for San Diego at that point.

621
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
And again, Ralph, they have called timeout to stop the clock.

622
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:51,000
A desperate charge to get into that scoring column again before the end of the second quarter,

623
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
1.27 to go, and here's Van.

624
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,000
The ball at the Bills 28 and a half yard line, a first down for the Chargers.

625
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,000
They have used up all but one of their timeouts now.

626
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,000
They have one more coming to them in this first half.

627
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Norton is split to the left, and again they have the spread formation, as wrote,

628
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:17,000
against the three-man rush goes back to pass Long, and oh, almost intercepted by Warner at the 5.

629
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:23,000
He had the ball all alone at the 5 yard line and could have done the Bills some good there,

630
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:30,000
1.21 to play in the first half, and Warner, in his anxiety to run with the ball,

631
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,000
did not have possession of it at the 5.

632
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,000
The Bills had Robinson covered well on the play, the split end,

633
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:43,000
and so at a second down and 10 for San Diego at the Buffalo, 29 yard line.

634
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,000
For some reason they moved it upfield about a foot after that incomplete pass.

635
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
All right, here come the Chargers.

636
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:55,000
Off the spread again, it's wrote, three-man line for the Bills.

637
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,000
He looks, he throws, it is good to Norton, and he is down.

638
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,000
He gets up to run again, but the play has been blown dead at about the 16 yard line.

639
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
The clock is running now.

640
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:11,000
San Diego will not huddle on this play with 1.06 remaining.

641
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Here is wrote, the quick pass, intercepted by the Bills.

642
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Stratton has the ball at the 18 yard line, and the Bills take over.

643
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Wrote, instead of throwing over the sideline, threw the ball to his receiver,

644
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,000
and Stratton picked it off.

645
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,000
It was intended for Norton.

646
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
The Bills have it, and the clock is running with less than a minute remaining.

647
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:44,000
In the first half, it is first down Buffalo at the Buffalo 18 yard line.

648
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
The Bills huddling back at the 10.

649
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,000
The clock ticking off the seconds, that's the third interception.

650
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:57,000
Of course, one was nullified, so give him two officially.

651
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,000
Jabenian wide to the left against double coverage, 33 seconds left.

652
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:06,000
Here is Kemp giving to Gilchrist outside, finds a bit of a hole,

653
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:11,000
and then is spun around and dropped at the 24 yard line of the Bills.

654
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,000
21 seconds, 20.

655
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
The Bills are going to be content not to try anything here that would lose them the ball,

656
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,000
and I believe they are going to let the clock run time out in the first half.

657
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:27,000
Nine seconds, eight, seven, six, five.

658
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,000
The Bills leading 13 to seven.

659
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
San Diego led seven to three at the end of the first quarter.

660
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,000
There is the gun ending the half with Buffalo leading San Diego 13 to seven.

661
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000
The Chargers scored seven in the first period, nothing in the second.

662
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:48,000
The Bills a field goal in the first by Gogolak and 10 points in the second.

663
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,000
And that's the half of it, and Ralph Hubbell will be back with our intermission show

664
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000
after this one minute pause on the Buffalo Bills football network.

665
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:03,000
You see a lot of yellow flickers around here today, sort of sparkled throughout the stadium.

666
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,000
The lights have been on since the start of the game at War Memorial Stadium.

667
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Duvenion is flanked to the left, and Bass is the split right end.

668
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Kemp is the quarterback, Carlton and Gilchrist are the running backs.

669
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
And here is the call by Kemp.

670
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:24,000
He calls on Gilchrist and he dives through the pile and squirts forward for a couple of yards.

671
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,000
He picked up about two on the play, and then he was stopped by George Gross, the left tackle.

672
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,000
Spot the ball up around the Bills 37-yard line.

673
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
It will be second down and about eight to go.

674
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Passes, it is no good to Bass.

675
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,000
He trapped the ball at the 46-yard line, made a good move to get around Allen the linebacker,

676
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,000
but he had picked the ball off the ground.

677
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:52,000
It's a close ball game in the third quarter with 11 minutes and 11 seconds remaining.

678
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Second down and 10 for San Diego at the Charger 43-yard line.

679
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:03,000
The Bills are leading 13-7 in the game that will decide the American Football League champion.

680
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000
Again the spread, wrote all alone.

681
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Back to Bass.

682
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:15,000
The quick one is, oh Tracy almost had it picked off at the San Diego 45,

683
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,000
and Tracy would have gone for the TD.

684
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:24,000
It was again intended for Robinson, and Kucerich was over there with him.

685
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Oh, that was close.

686
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:34,000
Tracy, the left linebacker, had broken through and got his fingertips on the ball,

687
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:44,000
and they've got him short of the first down, up around the 48- or 9-yard line.

688
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:50,000
Bird slowed him down and Day made the tackle on him, and now San Diego will send John Hadel into punt

689
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,000
on fourth down and about four.

690
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,000
It is high and short.

691
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:03,000
It bounces inside the 20, rolls inside the 15, and is going to be surrounded and down

692
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:09,000
just at the 10-yard line of San Diego or a Buffalo.

693
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:18,000
A 41-yard punt, rolling dead at the 10-yard line, 10 minutes and 13 seconds to go.

694
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,000
The rain is still lasing down. It's a cold, misty rain.

695
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,000
First down Buffalo at the 10-yard line, kept the quarterback, sends Bass to the left,

696
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Dubenny to the right.

697
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
They'll be looking for Gilchrist and Carlton now, the setbacks, to give us to Carlton,

698
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:40,000
and he hits a stone wall but manages to get out to the 14-yard line.

699
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Again on that crossfire play from left to right, he picked up four on the play.

700
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Allen, the middle linebacker, made the stop.

701
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:55,000
It is second down and now sets team along the line, and second and six at the Bills 14.

702
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000
It is Gilchrist, and he looks for a hole, but it does not open.

703
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Ernie Ladd smothered him along with Bob Petrich.

704
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Right at the line of scrimmage, he might have gotten a yard to the 15 on the play

705
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:12,000
as he ran outside left tackle.

706
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:20,000
It is third down and five, tackled by Chuck Allen, the deep diagonal to Albert Dubennyan.

707
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:28,000
First down for the Bills, 20 yards on the play, closer to 21.

708
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Calls his play, waits for the snap, has it, here's Carlton again, fighting for yardage,

709
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
and Ladd rode him down from behind after about a two-yard pickup

710
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,000
somewhere in the neighborhood of the 38-yard line.

711
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:47,000
It will be a second down play for the Bills, and they'll need about seven yards for the first down,

712
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:52,000
seven to seven and a half yards, make it second and seven.

713
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Ball spotted at the Bills 38-yard line.

714
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Seven minutes and 30 seconds left in the third quarter.

715
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,000
The Bills 13, the Chargers 7.

716
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:10,000
Now he waits for the snap of the ball, goes back to pass, looks downfield,

717
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
throws a good catch at the 45 by Gilchrist.

718
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:19,000
He tries to get up and run, but is written down by Allen, the middle linebacker,

719
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:27,000
and Carpenter set it down and they decide it is not a first down, it will be third down.

720
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Six-fifty-seven remaining in the third quarter, Buffalo leading 13 to seven.

721
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Running backs Carlton and Gilchrist, who are set in a divide.

722
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,000
The tackles Gross and Ladd are right in there tight.

723
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,000
Will Kemp go straight ahead? Let's see if he does.

724
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:51,000
He gives instead to Gilchrist off the pile for the first down.

725
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000
What a play he made.

726
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:58,000
And they shove him out of bounds at the 49-yard line.

727
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Bass to the left, Duvenion flanked to the right.

728
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Kemp calls the play, takes the snap, goes back to pass.

729
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Duvenion at the 40, down he goes.

730
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,000
And San Diego Territory, the San Diego 39, first down.

731
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:19,000
Up the middle goes Carlton and a flag is going down on the play.

732
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:24,000
He gained a couple of yards to about the 38-yard line.

733
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Now wait a minute, let's see what the call is here.

734
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:34,000
The official is pointing at the bill, so we must assume that this penalty will be assessed against Buffalo.

735
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Gross made the tackle with Ernie Ladd and it may be a major penalty,

736
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:47,000
because the Buffalo offensive unit, except for the captain, has retreated back into Buffalo Territory.

737
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,000
And they're going to march off a 15-yarder against the Bills.

738
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:57,000
And that takes the ball back into Buffalo Territory to the 46-yard line.

739
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Offensive holding is the call.

740
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,000
So they will run the first down play over again.

741
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,000
And the Bills will need 25 yards now.

742
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Kemp, ready to direct the ball club, as Duvenion flanked to the left.

743
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:15,000
The quarterback comes up.

744
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Kemp goes back to throw. They've got him from behind.

745
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Petrich at the 35 blindsided him and dumped him for the loss.

746
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Bob Petrich from the 35-yard line of Buffalo.

747
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000
They lost 15 on the penalty, 11 on the blitz.

748
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Here is Kemp looking to throw again, runs out to the right.

749
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Now throws. It is fumbled there, incomplete.

750
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:50,000
The ball at the 49-yard line of San Diego was intended for Duvenion, but he couldn't hold onto it.

751
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:56,000
And the Bills now have a third down and 36.

752
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,000
The swing pass to Gilchrist is no good at the 37-yard line.

753
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:09,000
And the Bills will have to punt on fourth down and 36 from their own 35, 20-yard line.

754
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
We'll see if Lowe or Lincoln come back into the ball game here.

755
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Here's the punt.

756
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:19,000
It bounces at the 30 and is picked up there and returned by Robinson.

757
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:23,000
They miss him at the 40, 45, midfield. One man to beat.

758
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:29,000
And they've got him there in Buffalo territory at the 47-yard line.

759
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,000
McGuire again made the tackle.

760
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:39,000
And the Chargers on a good play by Robinson, a dangerous play, nonetheless have a first down in Buffalo territory.

761
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Sends Robinson to the right, pitches out to Lowe, and they stack him up there and drop him close to the line of strippage.

762
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:55,000
Tracy and McDull were there to hit Paul Lowe as he took the pitch out and ran to the right sideline,

763
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:04,000
trying to get around the corner, a yard gain on the play, second down and nine for the Chargers at the Bills 41-yard line.

764
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,000
Three minutes and 56 seconds left.

765
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Four times in the first half, the Bills were inside San Diego's 10.

766
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:18,000
They scored three of those times, a touchdown and two field goals, a fake field goal on a fourth down play misfired.

767
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Throat goes back to pass, runs out to the right, fake throws, knocked into the air, intercepted and dropped.

768
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Knocked into the air by Tracy, and Day almost had it picked off.

769
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000
Well, that was another near interception by the Bills.

770
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
Earlier Tracy almost had one.

771
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,000
John Hadel is coming in for San Diego.

772
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:46,000
Hadel is coming into the backfield and Rhodes is going out.

773
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Looked downfield, throws.

774
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Is it intercepted? Yes, it is at the 20-yard line by Byrd, and the Bills have the ball.

775
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:06,000
George Byrd caught the ball at the far side of the field, just got it before it went over the sideline,

776
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:15,000
and the Bills take over at the 21-yard line, the Buffalo 21, 322 to play in the third quarter.

777
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Back to the huddle now with Gilchrist, Carlton and Dubenion, his backfield.

778
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Bass and Warlick the end, Barber and Hudson the tackle, Shaw and B. Miller the guard, Kudzik the center.

779
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,000
First down, Buffalo at the Bills 21.

780
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,000
Wide to the left, Dubenion to the right, Bass, the backs to the weak side,

781
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:44,000
and it is Gilchrist finding a hole, ripping out to about the 30-yard line.

782
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:50,000
And how that cookie is running today, I'll tell you.

783
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,000
After a doggedly fought and scoreless third period, the Bills strike again early in the fourth.

784
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:03,000
Kemp hits Glen Bass on a look-in and the speedy end streaks to the one, setting up an easy TD by Kemp.

785
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Paul McGuire puts the icing on the championship cake with this gorgeous 64-yard punt to the Chargers 2 near game's end.

786
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:22,000
The scoreboard shows us 56 seconds remaining and Buffalo with a 20-7 lead.

787
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:28,000
It'll be a long trip home for San Diego after this game today,

788
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:35,000
just as it was probably a shorter trip than we ever took when we came from Boston last Sunday night.

789
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Funny how victory makes the trip lose its miles almost immediately.

790
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:47,000
Yes, the crowd is really gathering right now from all sections of the area.

791
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,000
We see their signs. I notice Oakfield is represented down there.

792
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:56,000
And the players themselves are standing in front of the bench.

793
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:05,000
The lone person to be sitting down is Jack Kemp, who is sitting on the bench down to the right of our broadcasting equipment.

794
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:10,000
And the fellows are coming around, ladies are coming around, shaking his hands.

795
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Jack must be a happy man. There was one period there about three weeks ago when he was very unhappy

796
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:21,000
and lost his starting quarterbacking job to Darrell LaMonica.

797
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Here is Haydl up on his feet. He wouldn't use the stretcher. And look at that crowd.

798
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:37,000
He's not only up on his feet, but he's going to stay in the game.

799
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:43,000
He tried to get that ball out there on a run out, but he was knocked down,

800
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,000
although he did manage to get it out for a first down.

801
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:53,000
So it will be first and 10. And the ball is on the 15-yard line of the San Diego Chargers.

802
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:58,000
And now the man who has called them all for five years is ready to step back in

803
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:04,000
and call off the championship second for the Buffalo Bills, Van Billing.

804
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Thank you, Ralph. 56 of those seconds remain, and it is 20-7 Buffalo.

805
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:14,000
Tobin Rhoade has replaced John Haydl as quarterback.

806
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:21,000
Well, the Bills have waited a long time for this victory, and it is just 56 seconds away.

807
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Spread formation, double wings, double flankers, wrote the pass.

808
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,000
They rush him, stratton hits him, but the pass is good to Kinderman.

809
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:37,000
15, 20, 25, 30, still on his feet and down to the 37-yard line.

810
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,000
45 seconds left, and San Diego steps the clock.

811
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:46,000
A 22-yard pass, Day making the tackle from behind.

812
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:53,000
San Diego 37-yard line, Paul McGuire is going into the game, and Day is coming out.

813
00:57:53,000 --> 00:58:01,000
We'll talk with Thurlow McCready on the postgame show, and Bob Gallagher, the voice of the Patriots.

814
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Tobin Rhoade, playing his final, the final seconds of his career, is back to pass, off the spread,

815
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
over the middle, no good, intended for McKinnon.

816
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000
At midfield, it is incomplete.

817
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
McGuire and Jacobs were there with him.

818
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:25,000
41 seconds to play, Dick Reifenberg will have a rundown of today's championship game

819
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:31,000
on today's 6.15 sports on WBEN, and of course, will be on with a postgame show

820
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:35,000
over many of our network stations following the broadcast.

821
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:42,000
41 seconds left, second and 10 for the Chargers at the San Diego 37-yard line.

822
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,000
Out of the huddle they come.

823
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:51,000
Tobin Rhoade, wait for the snap from center, goes back to pass, three-man rush,

824
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,000
a little swing pass is good to McKinnon, and nice wraps him up at the 44-yard line.

825
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
Helped out on the tackle by McGuire.

826
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:04,000
33 seconds to play, and again they stop the clock.

827
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:11,000
We would like to thank our spotters, Tony Vacanti, Dr. Ed Gosevich, Jim Georgison,

828
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:18,000
Herman Brunati, Dr. Bob Werner for their splendid assistance on the broadcast this afternoon,

829
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:27,000
and Messrs. Vacanti, Georgison, Gosevich, and Brunati for their splendid help all season long.

830
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,000
We couldn't have done it without them.

831
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
33 seconds left.

832
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Tobin Rhoade with a third down and three from the 44-yard line is back to pass.

833
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,000
Suss-Dack has him at the 30-yard line.

834
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000
The clock is running now and they cannot stop it.

835
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Wait a minute, yes they do.

836
00:59:49,000 --> 01:00:00,000
The goal post in the East End Zone is tottering now, and down it comes.

837
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
And there is a search.

838
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:10,000
The crowd is out on the field and they're going to have to suspend play, Ralph, with 26 seconds remaining.

839
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:15,000
A mob at each goal post.

840
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Well, Ralph, we'll turn it back to you.

841
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Yes, 26 seconds of the years left.

842
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:28,000
And these fans have gone absolutely crazy.

843
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:34,000
21 seconds, 20 seconds, play is in on the field and the fans are all over the field.

844
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,000
They better look out.

845
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Go ahead, fans. Here's the Charger huddle.

846
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Now there's the line of Strimmage.

847
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
Back to pass goes Rhoade. The little spring pass is good.

848
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:49,000
30, 35, 40, 45, midfield, three seconds, two, one.

849
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,000
The Mills are champions.

850
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,000
The Mills are champions.

851
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:59,000
They beat the Chargers 20 to 7 with three points in the first quarter, 10 in the second,

852
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,000
none in the third, and the final seven in the fourth.

853
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,000
San Diego scored only in the first quarter, and we'll be back in one minute.

854
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:10,000
The Razor from Duke, the guy they thought was washed up, he came back this year.

855
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000
He played like an All-American.

856
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,000
Ray, they thought you over, but you came back. What a bargain. They had a touchdown of you. It was tremendous.

857
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Thank you very much, Ray.

858
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,000
Ray, this has got to be one of the biggest fills of your eyes.

859
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,000
Sure is.

860
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:25,000
I had a feeling we were going to beat them. We should have beat them worse than we did, but it was a tough ballgame.

861
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:29,000
It was hard to run out there because of the weather conditions.

862
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,000
It was a good, hard-hitting ballgame, and we just thankfully win.

863
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:34,000
Ray, are you going to play next year for us?

864
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,000
I sure am.

865
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000
What a season, Razor. What a season.

866
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Thank you.

867
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,000
Mike Stratton. Mike. Mike.

868
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,000
Mike Stratton, the all-A grindback from Tennessee. Mike, a great ballgame today.

869
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000
The most finest hour you've ever had.

870
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,000
Thank you very much, Ray. Thank you.

871
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,000
We won tremendous ballgames.

872
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
What happened when you hit Lincoln?

873
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,000
What happened when you hit Lincoln there?

874
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,000
I don't really know. I didn't stay around to find out. I don't know what happened.

875
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,000
I just wanted to win a ballgame, so glad I couldn't say. I didn't care what happened.

876
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Why did we win? Why did we win?

877
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,000
We do anything different on defense?

878
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,000
Pardon?

879
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:14,000
We do anything different on defense?

880
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,000
We do anything different. I need to say.

881
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,000
I was just about to say. I was just a little bit better today, it seems like.

882
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Harvey Johnson, the director of player personnel.

883
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Harvey Johnson, the guy who put this team together was fine dress, he's great.

884
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Harvey, what a ballclub.

885
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:33,000
That was a wonderful game for us. I'm so happy for the boys. They played like champions.

886
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,000
Thank you very much, Harvey.

887
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,000
Concept tackle, a wrong world tackle.

888
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:42,000
The time you played against Twinny, you didn't do a thing. You had a great ballgame today, Tom.

889
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,000
Thank you very much, Barry.

890
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,000
He's a much improved ballplayer. He's done a tremendous job today.

891
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,000
I know a well-coached ballclub there. Got time to push it out.

892
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,000
Is it the greatest thrill you ever had?

893
01:02:54,000 --> 01:03:00,000
Definitely, it sure is. I tell you, it's something else. It's something once in a lifetime, you know.

894
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,000
And it's really great. Beautiful thrill.

895
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Our defense do anything different today, Seth?

896
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:08,000
No, we didn't do anything. We just kept doing the same things we did all year.

897
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,000
We just got a little confused out there at first.

898
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,000
But we settled down and started playing ball as we really want.

899
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:20,000
Tom, a great season. You can't add any much more to this. All world, all pro. And now everything else.

900
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,000
Thank you very much, Barry.

901
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:46,000
I want to say thank you to the school.

902
01:03:46,000 --> 01:04:06,000
We're going to give the sisters a game of our own, too.

903
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:12,000
Harry Jacobs. Harry Jacobs. After the defense, the middle line back there. Harry, what a job you've been today.

904
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Thank you, Barry. It's been wonderful to be the world champion, Barry.

905
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Harry, do we do anything different defensively against them?

906
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,000
It's all we do is play a solid defense like we did all year.

907
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
We didn't do as much defensively as we've done in the past games.

908
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Didn't need to. Didn't need to.

909
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,000
We've got guys like Mike Stratton and John Tracy doing the job. You don't have to.

910
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Well, I guess not. And all the rest of the guys out there are just trying to get the job done.

911
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:33,000
John Tracy. John Tracy, the All-American Texas A&M. You sit at the beginning of the year.

912
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,000
The first time we came in here, no one's going to touch us.

913
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,000
That was another team effort, Barry. That's what I've been saying all year.

914
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,000
As long as we keep the team effort going, nobody's going to beat it.

915
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,000
We're all a bunch of individual players. We just get to play as a team and help.

916
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:46,000
You can't beat team spirit.

917
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:51,000
Our defense was tremendous today. We could have had nine, ten interceptions if the guys could have held onto the ball.

918
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Well, that's where you had no hands. You know, same old thing. Got steel boards for hands, Barry.

919
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Great job. What about next year, Johnny? You're going to play next year for us.

920
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,000
Are you kidding me? You're kidding me?

921
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,000
I want more of that champion's money, Barry.

922
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Have a great winter.

923
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,000
Billy Shaw, the captain of the Buffalo Bills. Billy, we've spoken so many times during the course of the year.

924
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000
You said this is a bar code that could go all the way.

925
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
You said we take things from the proper perspective, we're going to go all the way.

926
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:15,000
Billy, you're a prophet.

927
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:20,000
Thank you very much, Barry. Of course, a lot of things entered into our championship.

928
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Of course, the great teamwork that we had and the closeness that was created by our coaching staff.

929
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,000
And I think that went a long way for our championship.

930
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,000
What about the team itself? Well, you played together as a unit.

931
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:35,000
Fiennuals, Shaw, Barber, such that. All the guys played together as a unit.

932
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,000
Was this the key to it?

933
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:40,000
I think so, Barry. We have no stars on this team. Everyone is equal.

934
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,000
And I think this is the reason.

935
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:46,000
And what about Billy Shaw? What can you do more for this field, Billy?

936
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,000
You're all pro, all world, and you're all the captain of the world champions.

937
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,000
This is the greatest thrill for me in my life. It certainly is.

938
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Billy, thanks very much.

939
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,000
Oh, Tudzik! You're out in the center.

940
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:59,000
Well, you played last year. 51-10, you lost 20 playing for Boston.

941
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,000
We got even with him this year.

942
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:01,000
We got even.

943
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,000
Yeah, we had a ball club. Everyone was playing hard.

944
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:09,000
I just wanted to say our offensive line, all the guys that work hard, work together.

945
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,000
And we try to give our players the protection that they need today.

946
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,000
Thanks very much. Jerry Smith, the coach of the offensive line.

947
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,000
Joe, your coach of defense last year.

948
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:19,000
This year, your coach of the offensive.

949
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,000
Last week at Noh Henry, he had a perfect game. No one touched their quarterback.

950
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000
This week, Saison, all the big studs we kept in mind.

951
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:30,000
But you can give all the credit to that offensive line. They're great. That's all. They're just great.

952
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,000
They really did a job. They can't single anybody out because they were a unit.

953
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:37,000
That's right. That's the way we've been playing, and that's the way I know we'll continue to play next year.

954
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Do we do anything different on our offensive assignments?

955
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:45,000
No, we just ran a lot of our standard stuff against their different defensive staff.

956
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,000
Okay, thanks very much.

957
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:50,000
Ronnie McTorrell, the corner-husker from Nebraska.

958
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:55,000
Ronnie, you came to camp at the beginning of the year. No one thought you had a chance to turn out to be one of the best defensive players in the league.

959
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,000
Ronnie, my hat is off to you.

960
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Thank you, but it's been a great year for me and everybody.

961
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,000
And today we proved that we were champions.

962
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
How is it playing against Ron Nish?

963
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,000
It's always tough. It's always tough.

964
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,000
No matter, all three times I've played against him here, he's just a fine football player.

965
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,000
You've had a great team victory, Ronnie.

966
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,000
Oh, great.

967
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:15,000
George East Flint, our swing guard for the last four years.

968
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:20,000
Everyone comes and tries to take away his job. No one can do it because George is a fine ballplayer.

969
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,000
George, what a ballgame.

970
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Thank you, Barry. It was a truly ballgame.

971
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,000
Those guys really did have a beating, though.

972
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,000
I swear I'm going to have to rest through the week.

973
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:32,000
I'm going to come back next year in July and we're going to have to do another World Championship.

974
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,000
I'll tell you, I'm going to start lifting weights Monday.

975
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Lifting weights and training.

976
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,000
Al B. Miller! Al B. Miller!

977
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,000
Big B smoking on the cigar that Pamela Gorter gave him.

978
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,000
B said last week that it was just the biggest blow as you had when you were playing for Syracuse.

979
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,000
He said no because now you're getting paid for it.

980
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,000
What can you do now as the champions of the World, B?

981
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:56,000
All I can do now, Barry, is just keep playing football and win it again next year because that money is awful nice.

982
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000
It was a great team effort. How was it to switch the guy this year?

983
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:04,000
Well, it was sort of rough. It's a lot different from center, but I hope I did a good job for him.

984
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:10,000
Thanks very much. One of the real gentlemen in sports, one of the finest defense offensive professional football,

985
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,000
one of the captains of the San Diego Chargers, Earl Faison.

986
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,000
Earl, your boys played a great ballgame. You had a tough break when Keith Lincoln got here,

987
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,000
and then when Lance Alvarez got here.

988
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,000
That was just some of the breaks of the game, you might say.

989
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,000
Buffalo played ahead of the game and they deserved to win it.

990
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Thanks very much, you all. Have a nice winter.

991
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:33,000
Dick Hudson. Dick Hudson, this must be three three veins.

992
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,000
The San Diego Chargers let you go on a trade.

993
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Now you came back to Haunum. You had a great ballgame with them, Dick.

994
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Thank you very much, Barry. This is the greatest thing that ever happened.

995
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:45,000
We really appreciate it. Paul McGuire! Paul McGuire!

996
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,000
The second-lead, the third-lead, the real spirit man behind the Buffalo Bills.

997
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Paul, we didn't speak to you much last week.

998
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:55,000
So, what a revenge. You said you could beat them, you said they couldn't match us. You were right.

999
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Well, the things that were in the paper, I didn't say, but I knew we could beat them and we did.

1000
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
I got the greatest football team that I've been saying all year long, that I've ever seen in my life,

1001
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,000
and they proved it today. Even the San Diego Chargers told me the same thing on the field.

1002
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000
They said, you guys really deserved this ballgame because you fought for it.

1003
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,000
And they played fine football. They did. They really did. They never let down.

1004
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:18,000
And neither did the Chargers, but we just out-hit them. We out-out everything.

1005
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Is this the biggest thrill in playing with the Chargers when he won, Paul?

1006
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,000
This is what I've been looking for. This, to me, just made my whole year.

1007
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Anything can happen now. I could care less.

1008
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Two championship checks in one year.

1009
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:29,000
That helps.

1010
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:30,000
It's a really good...

1011
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Third one next year, Paul.

1012
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,000
I hope so.

1013
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:48,000
We got Larry Stelz in the fine sports commons for the Buff Weaving News.

1014
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,000
Larry, you said at the beginning of the year that if the girls don't get hurt and play as a team,

1015
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,000
they can go all the way. Larry, your profit.

1016
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Well, I'm very happy about that. They deserve to win. They outplay these people all the way.

1017
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,000
They probably should have won by a bigger score.

1018
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,000
A great team effort, Larry.

1019
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Thanks very much, Larry.

1020
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
Eddie Abramowski!

1021
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,000
The trainer of the Buff War, Bill.

1022
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:12,000
Billy Bates popped off his mouth at training the Patriots.

1023
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,000
Who are they going to beat us by? Two touchdowns?

1024
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,000
You said we were going to be sent by two.

1025
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Tell me confidently before the week, said Bill, we're going to beat these guys by at least 10 points.

1026
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,000
You were right.

1027
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000
We were lucky, Bill. We went after them. We saw them at touchdown and we went after them.

1028
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,000
Just like I knew we would.

1029
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,000
The market is a great barcode.

1030
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,000
Right. We held them when we had to.

1031
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,000
A bigger score than we were in the trainer of Kentucky and of the Detroit Lions.

1032
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Yes, sir. This is the best. We never won it when I was with Detroit.

1033
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,000
We won the division, but never the...

1034
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,000
We did win the division. I take it back.

1035
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,000
We did win the thing, but we lost to the All-Stars.

1036
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,000
It was a little edge off it.

1037
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,000
And we really did a job today that came back from behind.

1038
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Yes, they did. Like I said, Barry, they come to the spot at the touchdown and went after them.

1039
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:48,000
And we certainly came back from...

1040
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,000
Ernie Wallack!

1041
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,000
With five hands in the Buff War, Bill, is a big horse.

1042
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Ernie has some real big catches today.

1043
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Great. A wonderful feeling.

1044
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Do you realize that this is the first championship game I've ever been on?

1045
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,000
In all your years?

1046
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,000
Confessional, Ernie.

1047
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000
A great game today and a great season, Ernie.

1048
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:04,000
You played like a kid today.

1049
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,000
I can't believe it. I can't believe we won it.

1050
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,000
I can't believe it.

1051
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,000
What about next year? Are you going to play for us again next year?

1052
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,000
Definitely.

1053
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:11,000
The old guy goes on.

1054
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,000
I have to say that if he was going to retire next year, he's going to...

1055
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Not unless I wanted to. I guess I'll be around.

1056
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Fine. Thank you.

1057
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:20,000
Johnny Mazer, the offensive coach, the former greater Notre Dame.

1058
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Johnny, who was quarterback in the 1949 team to finish, was undefeated.

1059
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Was that a bigger thrill as this one is today?

1060
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,000
Well, I was younger then and I didn't know the value of the dollar as much as I know now

1061
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,000
and I didn't have a family, Barry.

1062
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:37,000
So I think this one is a little bigger thrill because it means a few more dollars in the bank account.

1063
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,000
Johnny, did we do anything different offensively?

1064
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,000
No, the last two weeks we said we thought we could take advantage of

1065
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,000
and we were proven right that we could take advantage of them

1066
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,000
and the kids played a heck of a ball game.

1067
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,000
It's a great team effort, John. Beautiful team effort.

1068
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,000
All year long, Barry, all year long.

1069
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,000
And you couldn't single out any one guy because it was a team effort?

1070
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:57,000
No, I wouldn't try to single out anybody.

1071
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,000
It was just a great year for a great bunch of football players.

1072
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:01,000
Okay, thanks very much.

1073
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:05,000
And my brother, the man who brought pro football to Buffalo, New York,

1074
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
had all those years when he was the head of the Chamber of Commerce in the past.

1075
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,000
He finally brought it here and now we've got a winner.

1076
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,000
We've got the champion.

1077
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,000
That's the man, Barry.

1078
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,000
The champion.

1079
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,000
We've got it. Thanks very much.

1080
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Nick Gallagher, the general manager of the Buffalo football,

1081
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,000
professional football addict, you were with the Cleveland Browns,

1082
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,000
anything like this, nothing like this.

1083
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,000
We've waited five years for this and, boy, I'm telling you,

1084
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,000
these guys have overlapped a lot of things.

1085
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,000
We were hung in there with the greatest honor of professional football.

1086
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:32,000
You know what this was today? This was the World Champions Cup.

1087
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,000
And we certainly did it.

1088
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Tiffy Day.

1089
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:36,000
How you doing there?

1090
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,000
Tiffy Day, all year long, Tiffy, you played a great job with the defense.

1091
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,000
What a ball game, Tiffy.

1092
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:45,000
I'm telling you, with that one, I got the strawberry to prove it.

1093
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,000
You played against Bernie White today, you really handled him.

1094
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,000
Right.

1095
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
I got Bernie White pretty well set now, but he's still top.

1096
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,000
He's still one of the best in the league.

1097
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,000
It was a great ball game.

1098
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Terrific. How you doing, Barry?

1099
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Okay, okay, Tiffy.

1100
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,000
Darryl O'Monica. Darryl O'Monica.

1101
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,000
18, 19, 20.

1102
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:07,000
18, 19, 20.

1103
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Darryl O'Monica, the greatest,

1104
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,000
the least quarterback of professional football,

1105
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:12,000
the second year man from Notre Dame.

1106
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Darryl, you came off the bench so many times this year

1107
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,000
and did a job for us.

1108
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:17,000
The last two ball games, you didn't play it all,

1109
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,000
but Jack went all the way. I know you were on the sidelines

1110
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:20,000
helping him out with his calls.

1111
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:24,000
I was ready just in case, but very fortunate, Jack had a real

1112
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,000
two terrific games.

1113
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,000
We came out on top, but this has been a winning combination

1114
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,000
all year long.

1115
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:33,000
If Jack was cold, I could come in and I hope that I was hot.

1116
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,000
If I was cold, it was vice versa.

1117
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,000
It was a great season all the way.

1118
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:40,000
What happened with that reverse that takes you over?

1119
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,000
I had an audible eye, and no one heard my audible eye.

1120
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:45,000
It was automatic number seven, and no one heard it.

1121
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,000
I didn't have any receivers, so I was kind of out there all by myself.

1122
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,000
A great season, Darryl.

1123
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Thank you, man.

1124
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Sue Barber! Sue Barber!

1125
01:13:56,000 --> 01:14:00,000
Sue Barber, the only Jack off from Michigan for Penn State,

1126
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,000
so you were all back to Penn State and all through now,

1127
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:03,000
what a thrill, Sue.

1128
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Greatest thrill of my life.

1129
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,000
You didn't really handle them today, Sue.

1130
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Well, we all did a good job, I think, proven by the score,

1131
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,000
and I think that this team really deserves a lot of credit.

1132
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,000
They stuck together through the whole year, through second thin,

1133
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:16,000
and I think this was a difference.

1134
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,000
It's a real team battle.

1135
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,000
Did you do anything different today, personally?

1136
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,000
No, no, we all played the hardest football we could,

1137
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,000
and eventually we were good enough to win.

1138
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,000
You said before the ball game that we need 100 and 7 percent

1139
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:30,000
effort in order to win the ball game.

1140
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,000
That's what we got.

1141
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,000
I think so, Barry, definitely.

1142
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:34,000
Okay, thank you.

1143
01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,000
Chuck Spurs, Assistant General Manager of the Colton's Director of Publicity.

1144
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,000
My name's Chuck.

1145
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,000
What a thrill.

1146
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Oh, this is my...

1147
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,000
I know last week I'd never seen another thrill like it,

1148
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,000
but this tops it.

1149
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:48,000
We're the champs all the way, and this is a great ball club, Barry, great.

1150
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,000
This is a great trick.

1151
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:50,000
I'm so proud of them.

1152
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Guys like Glenn Bass, playing ball for us, catch us fast,

1153
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,000
there's Devinian, what a team effort.

1154
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,000
Suddenly Meredith.

1155
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Come here, big star.

1156
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,000
What a game.

1157
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,000
Oh, man, it's lovely to be a champ, I tell you.

1158
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,000
You started off with Houston and you ended up here.

1159
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,000
You ever think that could happen?

1160
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Never thought it'd be possible.

1161
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,000
Pretty sweet, isn't it?

1162
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:12,000
It's the most wonderful feeling I've ever had in my life, baby.

1163
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,000
Okay, Dudley.

1164
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:14,000
Very fine, baby.

1165
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Okay.

1166
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,000
Glenn Bass, a fine sport, and Glenn, what a day today, what a day.

1167
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,000
Oh, thank you very much.

1168
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Glenn, you almost went all the way in that touchdown.

1169
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,000
You missed by about an inch.

1170
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:24,000
No, I think I got it.

1171
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Let's say I got it, huh?

1172
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,000
We'll give it to you then, Glenn, a fine ball game.

1173
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,000
Thank you very much, Barry.

1174
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,000
Mr. Bob Rustig.

1175
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Mr. Bob Rustig, one of the men on the board of directors for Ralph Wilson,

1176
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:36,000
one of his business assistants.

1177
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:37,000
What a ball game, Barry.

1178
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Well, the game is right.

1179
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,000
That's two in a row that we won so convincingly,

1180
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:44,000
the two that we won, Boston and this one, no doubt about it.

1181
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,000
No doubt about it.

1182
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,000
Now one of the greatest quarterbacks in pro football,

1183
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,000
a fine gentleman, George Redham, and George is back in Buffalo,

1184
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:53,000
this time with a winner.

1185
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,000
It's time to return the shoes.

1186
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,000
I brought them from the Bills today.

1187
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,000
There must have been good luck for the Bills.

1188
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,000
A great ball game, wasn't it, George?

1189
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,000
Tremendous ball game, two good football teams out there today.

1190
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,000
George, you played in both leagues.

1191
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,000
How does this league compare to the others the way we played?

1192
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,000
The Bills and the Chargers can play in the national league as well as anybody.

1193
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Okay, George, thanks very much.

1194
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Eddie Rutkowski, the goal is almost no today.

1195
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,000
What a ball game, Eddie.

1196
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,000
What a heck of a ball game.

1197
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,000
This is the greatest one we've ever had, the greatest one that I've ever had.

1198
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:20,000
I'm telling you, this is great.

1199
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,000
I'm telling you, this is a great bunch of guys.

1200
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Thank you, Barry.

1201
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Willie Ross, cookie-joker, a thunder study for Nebraska.

1202
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Last week he said he was going to come back, we're going to take him.

1203
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:29,000
We did it, Willie.

1204
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,000
Really, we did.

1205
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,000
I'm telling you, it felt real good, I'll tell you.

1206
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:38,000
It was a tight game, but we stuck in and everybody was blocking real well

1207
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:44,000
and cookie was playing real well, and we didn't have too much trouble after.

1208
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
Thanks very much.

1209
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Gene Sykes, former Tiger from LSU.

1210
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,000
Gene, you started this season on the taxi slide.

1211
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,000
You came in to play the last nine ball games.

1212
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,000
You did a great job as a tight end safety.

1213
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Thanks a lot.

1214
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,000
I really appreciate it.

1215
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,000
It's a good opportunity to play with a bunch of guys like this and win the championship.

1216
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:01,000
Everyone here in Brooklyn has been waiting a long time for it.

1217
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,000
It means a lot to us, too.

1218
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,000
You ever have a throw like this when you're playing for LSU?

1219
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,000
I don't think I like this, no.

1220
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Nothing could stop you?

1221
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:09,000
No, nothing.

1222
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,000
Thanks very much, you know.

1223
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:16,000
We're trying to get for you Commissioner Joe Foss, the commissioner of the American Football League.

1224
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,000
He's making his way over.

1225
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,000
Commissioner Joe Foss, five years ago we started the American Football League.

1226
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,000
Look who we are now, we could play anybody.

1227
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Well, the way they looked out there today, they were ready.

1228
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,000
It was a good hard-fought game all the way and a clean game.

1229
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,000
It was a great ball game and it shows the overall balance of our league.

1230
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:38,000
Well, that's the thing that we've been very fortunate with all since we started,

1231
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:45,000
is to have balance in the league and we've shown up every year with different faces in the championship game,

1232
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
which is a good indication of it.

1233
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,000
It must be quite a thrill for Joe Foss, the commissioner of the American Football League,

1234
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,000
to walk around here and see 40,000 streaming fans.

1235
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:56,000
No more to get in, we could have sold 100,000 more tickets.

1236
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:02,000
Well, it's a good thing and speaks to all of the fans in the Buffalo area, that's for certain.

1237
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,000
Commissioner Foss, you've done an excellent job and thanks very much for this interview.

1238
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Thank you.

1239
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,000
The greatest shoulder professional football, Mr. Ralph C. Wilson Jr. of Detroit.

1240
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,000
Mr. Wilson, a great moment for you.

1241
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:20,000
Yes, it is. It's a great moment for Lou and the assistant coaches and particularly the team, everybody, and the fans of Buffalo.

1242
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,000
I'm very happy. It's a happy New Year for everybody.

1243
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,000
Five years ago you bought the Buffalo Bills and it was a little frustrating the first three years.

1244
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:29,000
And now you stuck with the team. Now the city got behind the Bills and stuck with them.

1245
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Mr. Wilson, my hat is off to you and cheerleaders for the amount of devotion you put into the city of Buffalo and renewing this fine football city.

1246
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:41,000
Well, thank you very much. You know, we always figured it was going to be about a five-year build-up.

1247
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,000
Of course, the team came along a little faster this year than anybody expected.

1248
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:49,000
And we certainly had two great football teams playing for the championship today.

1249
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,000
And I'm very happy the both came out on top.

1250
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Mr. Wilson, I'm proud to be associated with your organization of class all the way from the top to the bottom.

1251
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Mr. Wilson, once again, thanks very much. Finest owner of professional football, Mr. Ralph C. Wilson Jr.

1252
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,000
Well, I don't know about that finest owner, but thanks for your kind comments.

1253
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,000
Okay, Mr. Wilson, thank you.

1254
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:10,000
Tommy Saban, the son of Lou Saban, the Buffalo Bills head coach. Tommy, this must be quite a thrill for you.

1255
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:16,000
You know, your dad had a tough first couple of years. I know you and your mother Lorraine and the rest of the family stuck by him.

1256
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,000
And now we got a championship.

1257
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:22,000
You said before the ballgame you wanted a Christmas present from your dad at the World Championships. We got it now, Tommy.

1258
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:27,000
Yeah, he's going to be real happy and so is the rest of the family. Everybody's happy now.

1259
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,000
This will be a happy year for everybody.

1260
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,000
It must be tremendous, Tommy.

1261
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:37,000
Yeah. My children may get home, my mother will probably be dancing around the whole house.

1262
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,000
I don't blame her at all. I don't blame her.

1263
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,000
Charlie Young, the sports editor of the Bucsweving News.

1264
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Charlie, you said last week this was the greatest football show we've ever had in Buffalo.

1265
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,000
We want one better, Charlie.

1266
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:51,000
Well, I said it was last week and certainly two now. More than ever.

1267
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:56,000
They did a real good job, Roger. It was a real fun time for you for the first two minutes. I had to scramble for that.

1268
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,000
They certainly did. Thank you very much.

1269
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,000
That's fine.

1270
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:01,000
Dr. Stone Van Miller, the vice for the Buffalo Bills, man. Five years ago.

1271
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,000
We finally got a great win, wasn't it? Very wonderful.

1272
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:10,000
And I know how close you've been to this team and you're a real part of it. And we rejoice with you in this wonderful victory.

1273
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:11,000
A great victory.

1274
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,000
All the players and coaches and Mr. Wilson.

1275
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,000
And a lot of my friends up there. We'll do that, man. Thanks very much.

1276
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,000
How are you, man?

1277
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:23,000
Shelley Warner from 32 A&M, the boy who came in this year from the Kansas City Chiefs.

1278
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:26,000
And he came in. He did a great job playing at the corner spot.

1279
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Yeah, great. Thank you, Warner.

1280
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,000
I'm glad I could be a part of this wonderful machine that Buffalo Bill has.

1281
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,000
And I'm looking forward to coming back next year and trying to do a good job.

1282
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,000
You did a great job, Shelley.

1283
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,000
Thank you.

1284
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,000
Maylon Kent, quarterback of the Buffalo Bill's taxi squad.

1285
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:43,000
You're a great deal above. You played down in the Southeastern Conference for Auburn.

1286
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Anything that's real like this, Maylon?

1287
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,000
No, it's about as cool as beating Alabama, I believe. It's been a great thrill.

1288
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:52,000
You were on the phones all day today talking to Johnny Mayson. What were you talking about, Maylon?

1289
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:56,000
We were just figuring out what players would do best and what he wants the quarterback to do.

1290
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,000
And then he talks to them back and forth.

1291
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,000
Did you do anything different, Maylon?

1292
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,000
Nothing different. We just stuck with the game plan and it worked.

1293
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Best of luck next year, Maylon.

1294
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:05,000
Thank you, man.

1295
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,000
George Steen is a great free safety, an all-fool free safety.

1296
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,000
George, you could have had a dozen interceptions today if it wasn't for money.

1297
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,000
You weren't throwing my weight, Barry.

1298
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
But, you know, like I said before, it's a unit.

1299
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,000
You pick up a slack or something else in the habit and defense, offense, everyone did a hell of a job.

1300
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,000
During the course of the week, you were confident that we would beat them.

1301
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,000
Yeah, I was. I'm not excited as I wasn't after the one game. I just thought we had it.

1302
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,000
You went out and did a job today, George.

1303
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:30,000
We did the job.

1304
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,000
Great job you did.

1305
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,000
They played the ball, too.

1306
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,000
Jerry, once again we got it grabbed. What a thrill.

1307
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Oh, it really is. It really is.

1308
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:44,000
I see you've got the game ball, Jerry. You deserved it all year long. You worked for it. We finally got it.

1309
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,000
Well, thank you. Thank you very much.

1310
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,000
Glad to have it. You gave it to all the assistants.

1311
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Everyone. You got one.

1312
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,000
What a job, Jerry.

1313
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Thank you.

1314
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,000
Jack Kemp, what a ball game it is. All during the course of the year, we said that you could do it.

1315
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,000
We talked about it at the editorial and also our WZOA listeners.

1316
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,000
I had the faith in you and a more important coach, Ruth Saban did.

1317
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Really, you could do it all and what you thought was the most important thing. You certainly did.

1318
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Thank you very, very much. Appreciate your help and your confidence and it means a lot to me.

1319
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Jack, would you do anything different today?

1320
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Well, we ran more basically because he's one of his own defense and forces into more of a running game and control the football and that's the big thing.

1321
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:25,000
That one pass to Cookie when you were trapped behind the line in the scrimmage or set up a field goal, was that an auto or was it a gamble?

1322
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:35,000
It was a roll out with an option and I thought about running it but then I thought I wouldn't make it so I thought Cookie would stand in there and flip it over and the big horse got in.

1323
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,000
You finally beat the San Diego Chargers going all the way.

1324
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,000
Yeah, you know, give me a time.

1325
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,000
Jack, are you going to stay in Buffalo during the offseason?

1326
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:48,000
Well, Coach Saban wants to chat with me and I want to stay around and ski for a while and we're just going to kind of play it by ear today.

1327
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Jack, a great season. I really want to thank you for all the conversation you've given me.

1328
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:53,000
Thank you.

1329
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Joe Collier, the brilliant defensive strategist for the Buffalo Drolls.

1330
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Joe, what a broad game. What a broad game. Your defense was superb.

1331
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,000
Oh, it was tremendous, very tremendous. We certainly appreciate the way the defense has played for us this year.

1332
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:10,000
We've got some outstanding individuals but I think our defensive club is one that is outstanding as a unit.

1333
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:19,000
We may not have the best personnel in the league but the team that stays together is the one that's going to win and we had a fine defensive unity this year and we certainly appreciate the way they played for us.

1334
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:23,000
Joe, you started out this year and they started running the traps up the middle for their first score.

1335
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:27,000
After that, what do we do to readjust and keep them from scoring?

1336
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Well, we tightened our line down to trying to cut their splits down. They were trying to split us out wide and we thought if we tightened up our defensive line they would have more trouble getting through there, which they did.

1337
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:46,000
And our outside linebackers played good balls to maintain their outside game and the corner men played a particularly good game. Bush Bird, actually his man didn't catch one ball, which was outstanding.

1338
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Joe, thanks very much.

1339
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Thank you.

1340
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:59,000
Albert, you've been in the Greatest Point in Quebec in professional football. We've spoken to you so many times before about your confidence, about the way you could come back. This is a big thing that you and John Mays have worked on.

1341
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,000
It's brought fruit today. What a ballgame.

1342
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:02,000
Thanks Barry, thank you very much.

1343
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Did you double team any out there at all today?

1344
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:11,000
Well, a couple times today but we ran the, what we call, the square end pattern and I lost the face of the man.

1345
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:22,000
The second ballgame, the second time we played the Chargers this year on Thanksgiving Day, you've played but you certainly weren't at your maximum effectiveness because of your knee injury. Now you're 100% effective and you certainly showed it today dude.

1346
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,000
Thank you Larry.

1347
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:24,000
I feel real good today.

1348
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,000
What about next year? Will you be going to play for us again?

1349
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:31,000
Well I hope I don't get to cut a tree. I'm planning on coming back again.

1350
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:39,000
You're the only original Bill Refs in the first day of training camp when Buster Ramsey came. It's been a long hard road and we finally made it. You must feel great.

1351
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:46,000
I feel like a million dollars man. After five years, finally a dream came true.

1352
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,000
What about Grandma? She must be pretty happy too.

1353
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Hey let me close with my Grandma's video for all old girls. My Grandma, she's the best grandma in the world.

1354
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:57,000
She's really good.

1355
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,000
Jimmy B, you had a great year. Thanks for everything. A great winner.

1356
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Thanks Barry, thank you very much.

1357
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Butch Bird, our stellar all-star cornerback from Boston University. Butch, many times you've hit the Buffalo Bulls and you've played for Boston. You came up here and you've torn every team in the league apart. No team has been able to pick on you. Last week you said we didn't beat Boston. We stomped them. What do we do today Butch?

1358
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:26,000
Well we played a real hell of a game against San Diego. They've got a real fine team and I think we just outplayed them. We just got a better team.

1359
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:36,000
Butch, I've seen you play all during the course of the year and although you don't return a touchdown, return one for touchdown, like you did the last game against San Diego, you played a fantastic game. They couldn't do a thing against you.

1360
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Thank you. This is one of my better days. The receiver I have, did Norton. He didn't get to pass all day. I was quite pleased about that. Overall I think I had a pretty good game today and I'm happy about it.

1361
01:25:49,000 --> 01:26:00,000
Butch, it's been a long way since that August 21st practice game against Kansas City. You went to Abner Haynes at a real good day. You showed him the spirit of a great champion. You bounced back when you were down. You're a real champion all the way Butch.

1362
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:01,000
Thank you very much.

1363
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:08,000
This is Billy Shaw, the captain of the Bills. Billy, we've set everything. A great team, a great fist, a great hat. It must be fantastic.

1364
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Yes, there it is. I'm glad the end is here because we've all worked hard. We're tired and ready to go home and rest until July comes again.

1365
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:32,000
Well, you know, maybe it's my imagination, but I think there wasn't as much enthusiasm, raw, uncanned enthusiasm in the dressing room this week as there was last week simply because we knew we had to go out and do a job. We went out and we did the job and now we're the champions. Am I right?

1366
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Yes, I think so, Barry. Of course, our intergame was a little anticlimactic for us. Our real big game was last week and of course we got up for the game and did a wonderful job as far as scoring points and playing a good game. But I think the, well, I can't say that the enthusiasm was greater for the Boston game than it was for this one, but personally, I think I enjoyed the victory over Boston more than I did this one.

1367
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Billy, thanks very much for everything. Have a great game in the Pro Bowl game and we'll see you next July. Thank you a lot, Barry.

1368
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:13,000
Jim Dunnway, the former All-American from Ole Miss, and now our second year at Tackley. You did a great job this year, Jim. You were hurt at the beginning of the year. You came through and now the big one, we certainly did the job.

1369
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:17,000
Thank you, sir. I'm just proud that I could come through after a little ending.

1370
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:27,000
Jim, was this as big a thrill as when you played for those great teams down at Ole Miss? Oh, this is a much bigger thrill here. This is for all the marbles. All the marbles we went out and we did it.

1371
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:36,000
That's right. I'm glad we did, too. I don't know though, I felt, I don't know, I feel more elated about the Boston game than how most of us do this one.

1372
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:43,000
We were just speaking about that with Billy Shaw. We won out, we played this game, we played the last one. Now with a chance, no one can take anything away from it.

1373
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:50,000
And I'm proud of that because it's been a long season and the whole team has held it real good and real lucky.

1374
01:27:50,000 --> 01:28:03,000
Okay, Jim, thanks very much. We're trying to get Lou Saban, the head coach of the Buffalo Bills. He's making his way over now, being congratulated by the many, many well-wishers that are in the Buffalo dressing room.

1375
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Hello. We said at the beginning of the year that Lou Saban was the type of guy that was going to stand by the courage of his convictions, that wanted to get the fans of Buffalo New York, nothing to do with the best professional football team.

1376
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:23,000
Whatever you did, whatever decision you had, you had this in mind. You went out there, you know, you didn't care about what people thought about Lou Saban. You thought about what you could give to the people of Buffalo.

1377
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:32,000
And Lou, I want to tell you how proud I am to be part of, one, as a sports cash and secondly, as the city of Buffalo and call you now a great coach. I know you don't like that word, but I don't know.

1378
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:41,000
I don't think that I'm a great coach. I'm perhaps a very fortunate coach. Fortunate from the point of view that Mr. Wilson's allowed me to do what I think is necessary to do.

1379
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:52,000
I've got a very capable staff, a trainer, equipment man, and a doctor. And these are the things that are far more important to me than a lot of the other stuff that I've heard.

1380
01:28:52,000 --> 01:29:02,000
Plus the fact that with this young squad, this squad has done such a tremendous job, they certainly are entitled to all the benefits that go along with it.

1381
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:07,000
I hope that we can continue to be a top club. I think we can.

1382
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:17,000
Well, they said it before the year began that the Buffalo Bill could never win the big one. It seemed that week after week we always had the big one. We went out and won the ball game. This must have been hard for you to coach all these pressure ball games.

1383
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:24,000
Well, they had to win 13 big ones. Without, for the loss anywhere along the line, we would have been in serious trouble. And we went out and we did it.

1384
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Lou, I know that during the year you chastised me a few times for using the word great. Can I now call this Buffalo Bill Club the World Champions a great club just so that the fine football came?

1385
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:40,000
Well, once again, thanks for everything and I want to tell you how happy I am to be associated with you and your staff.

1386
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:43,000
Okay, fine. Thank you, Barry. You've been fine.

1387
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:44,000
Thanks again, Lou.

1388
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:52,000
Cookie Gilchrist, the premier running back in the American football league. Cookie, you've had better days than this. You've picked up 122 yards there. That one 243 yard day.

1389
01:29:52,000 --> 01:30:00,000
Never though have I seen you run with such reckless abandon and just run with the intent to get that championship the way you did today. A great ball game.

1390
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Thanks a lot, Barry. Well, my running ability as well as any other back running ability depends greatly on the line.

1391
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:17,000
The line did a tremendous job of blocking today and the result, we won and I had a good day myself and everybody's happy.

1392
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:21,000
Cookie, your blocking today was superb. Were they boycoting you out? You had to pick up a lot of guys?

1393
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:34,000
Well, they didn't, but not like Boston, which my blocking, I don't think my blocking was as good as it was last week because last week I had a specific man, but today I filled in a lot, you know, on a lot of occasions.

1394
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:40,000
What happened? I noticed that you got injured. You came off and lost play the rest of the ball game. What actually happened?

1395
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:49,000
It was rib. I got a rib, I don't know, a rib separation or muscle or something and it's quite painful right now, but I think it'll be okay. I hope so.

1396
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:57,000
We'll keep you out of the All-Star game, won't we? I doubt it very much. If it does, I'll be down there anyway. We have a vacation well deserved.

1397
01:30:57,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Cookie, you had a real rough year this year, the heavy incident way back after the Boston game where you were fired and then came back. Now you're back and played like a champion for the championship. What does the future hold? Do you want to play here next year, Cook?

1398
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:33,000
Well, I'm flexible. I feel I have a bright future whether I'm here or wherever I go, but I would like to play in Buffalo, but there's a lot of things that happened that I think we're going to have to sit down and talk about and discuss, so there won't be any reoccurrence of these things on my part as well as the management part.

1399
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:43,000
So I feel that the next couple of days I'm going to sit down with Mr. Wilkins and find out what their intentions are and just see.

1400
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:48,000
Cookie, putting things in proper perspective, how does this picture over the Chargers rank as your sports drill?

1401
01:31:48,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Well, I didn't get a bigger drill last week when we beat Boston. You know, it was up for Boston and the momentum sort of carried on to this game, but it's a great thrill to be a champion for the AFL and all the fellows are quite as enthused as well as I am.

1402
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:18,000
You know, but with me, I've been playing 11 years and I just don't get as enthused as I used to get. You know, it's a sport as well as it's a job.

1403
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:28,000
Cookie, you did a tremendous job, not only today but for the entire season. I want to tell you one thing, I'm really proud to be associated with you. You've been very, very good to me and I want to wish you nothing but the best whether it's in Buffalo, Oakland, New York or wherever you're going to be.

1404
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Thanks a lot, Barry. I'm thrilled to hear about you too.

1405
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:31,000
Thank you, Cook.

1406
01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:44,000
He's a great pro innovator, a great pro innovation with his new method of kicking field goals and kicking off. Pete, your point production today topped out the entire San Diego Chargers team. You know that?

1407
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Thank you, Barry. I had a pretty good day. This was an important game and we won the championship and I feel great.

1408
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,000
Greatest thrill, Pete, in your life?

1409
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Just a buzz. I should say, yes, tremendous.

1410
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:07,000
You came a long way, Pete, not only coming from Hungary but from the Ivy League. We always kill it on a ballad, the Ivy League ballplayers couldn't play football. You kind of just proved that, didn't you?

1411
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:17,000
Well, I guess I did. Professional football is different than Ivy League football, I have to admit, but I guess I was lucky enough to get into pro ball and I enjoyed it all the way.

1412
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,000
How do you feel now, Pete, after this great win?

1413
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:32,000
Tremendous. And I tell you, Barry, this is a young club and this team has a long ways to go. I see the average age of the football team is about 25 years old and the future looks pretty good.

1414
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:37,000
Next year we're going to cut the rookie's hair.

1415
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:57,000
The American Football League Championship Game. The Bills of Luce Saban, Pro Football's Coach of the Year versus the Western Division winning San Diego Chargers.

1416
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:07,000
40,242 slightly apoplectic Buffalo fans turn out in standing room numbers for their first championship game and what a battle it is.

1417
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:13,000
The Chargers strike early. The brilliant Keith Lincoln draws up the middle for 38 yards.

1418
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Quarterback Tobin Rhoade passes to end Dave Kasuric for 26 yards and the Chargers lead after 3 minutes and 11 seconds of play.

1419
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:30,000
The Bills can't get moving and the Chargers are on the attack again, but here's the tackle heard around the world.

1420
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Keith Lincoln is hit by Mike Stratton and Lincoln is through for the day.

1421
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:44,000
The Chargers are shaken. Quarterback Tobin Rhoade throws right into Charlie Warner's waiting arms.

1422
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:54,000
The AFL's leading ground gainer, Cookie Gilchrist, cranks up. Behind Billy Shaw, Cookie turns Earl Faison's end for 32 yards.

1423
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:58,000
Kemp throws to Warlick to the San Diego 14.

1424
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Second period, Kemp is trapped, but he spots Gilchrist on the San Diego 4.

1425
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Carlton puts the Bills in front for Keith.

1426
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:21,000
Late in the second period, Gilchrist streaks off tackle to the Chargers 8.

1427
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Pete Gogolak adds to the Bills margin with a field goal from the 17 before the half.

1428
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:33,000
After a doggedly fought and scoreless third period, the Bills strike again early in the fourth.

1429
01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:41,000
Kemp hits Glen Bass on a look-in and the speedy end streaks to the 1, setting up an easy TD by Kemp.

1430
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:51,000
Paul McGuire puts the icing on the championship cake with this gorgeous 64-yard punt to the Chargers 2 near game's end.

1431
01:35:51,000 --> 01:36:03,000
It's an impatient crowd that waits the final whistle to congratulate their heroes, the Buffalo Bills, champions of the American Football League for 1964.

1432
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:10,000
Hi, I'm Darrell Lamonica. M&T and I hope you have enjoyed the highlights of the 1964 championship season.

1433
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:14,000
I'm confident 1965 will be another fine year for the Bills.

1434
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:19,000
I think our club will be even better and that we'll defend our championship in an exciting manner.

1435
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:26,000
The best way to see the Bills play, and the only way when we're at home, is to be at War Memorial Stadium in person.

1436
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:33,000
And the easiest way to be sure of getting the best seats for every home game is by purchasing season tickets.

1437
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:40,000
7,700 brand new seats located between the goal line will be ready in 1965.

1438
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:46,000
And thousands of additional choice seats will be available to new season ticket holders as well.

1439
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:54,000
So if you are not already a season ticket holder, there is no time like the present to join friends and neighbors who are.

1440
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:59,000
All you have to do is send a $10 deposit for each seat requested in a price range of your choice.

1441
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:07,000
$42, $31.50, $21, and the Bills will invoice you for the remainder in May.

1442
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:12,000
Of course, you can pay in full at the time you make application, if you so desire.

1443
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Why not pick up a season ticket application form tonight before you leave?

1444
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:23,000
Fill it out and mail it to the Buffalo Bills ticket office, 69 West Mohawk Street.

1445
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:31,000
And close your $10 check or money order for each seat ordered. And you'll have no more worries about good seats in 1965.

1446
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Be glad if you do.
