00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The Cincinnati Bengals faced the Baltimore Colts at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore for round one of the NFL playoffs on Saturday, December 26th, 1970.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Led by legendary coach Paul Brown, the Bengals were in the playoffs for the first time in their history, having just formed two years earlier in the AFL.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000
The Colts finished the regular season with an 11-2 record under new head coach Don McCafferty, who had replaced Don Shula after he left for Miami.

5
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:41,000
This audio recording is from the National Radio broadcast featuring announcers Charlie Jones and Al DiRogatis.

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:54,000
AFC divisional playoff game between the Cincinnati Bengals, winners of the Central Division, and the Baltimore Colts, winners of the Eastern Division from Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, brought to you by Winston Cigarettes.

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Winston tastes good like his cigarette should. And by Chrysler Corporation, your host for today, your local Chrysler women's dealer.

8
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Here in Baltimore, the temperature 31 degrees. We will have a swirling wind between 20 and 30 miles an hour, and this means the chill factor will be about 21 or 22 degrees during the game.

9
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Good afternoon, everybody. This is Charlie Jones along with Al DiRogatis.

10
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And now today, the National Football League starts its second season, and it's sudden death. It's sudden death here in case of a tie.

11
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,000
We will go into a sudden death playoff. We will have a winner.

12
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And of course, there are now eight teams remaining on the step to the Super Bowl, Miami, January the 17th, that will be carried on NBC.

13
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And this game here, the first step towards the Super Bowl. Youth against experience. Cincinnati, they average less than three years professional football experience per man, actually 2.8.

14
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Baltimore, their experience, just over five years per man. The Colts have been here before in the pressure ball game.

15
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Let's take a look. 1958-1959, Johnny Uninus leading the Colts over the Giants. 1964, they were shut out by the Browns.

16
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
1968, they defeated the Giants but then lost to the Jets in the Super Bowl.

17
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:24,000
On the other side of the coin, the young Cincinnati Bengals just wrapping up their third year, the finest record that an expansion team has had.

18
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Their coach, Paul Brown, his 36th year as a head football coach, his 20th year as a professional head coach.

19
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Don McCaffrey, the head coach of Baltimore on the other side, this is his rookie season as a head coach.

20
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Now this shapes up to be quite a man. It sure does. And Charlie, when you're talking about experience, you've got to talk about number 19, Johnny Uninus.

21
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:54,000
John, over the last 15 years, has just been everybody's quarterback, a superstar, tremendous experience, a great passer, a great field general, and he's got it all.

22
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:02,000
And there you see John with that famous arch. But when you think about the experience, how about that 15-year man who last week came in against the Jets, Earl Marl?

23
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Earl, 15 years out of Michigan State, he's been around this league and what a quarterback he is. And Don McCaffrey has just great faith in him.

24
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:19,000
The most valuable player just two short years ago. So the experience there, 30 years going against the inexperience of the Cincinnati Bengals.

25
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Now talking about that inexperience, how about Virgil Carter, number 11? How to bring him young. Virgil Carter, the Buffalo Bills, there's Virgil.

26
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:36,000
The Buffalo Bills really couldn't use him. The Chicago Bears couldn't use him. And seven games ago, he started winning and he won seven big ones in a row.

27
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:44,000
He's not the passer that some might like to see, but he's a great field leader. Paul Brown calls the plays and this man executes.

28
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
So Virgil is a big factor, obviously, and behind Virgil, we've got Sam Weich, number 14.

29
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:57,000
And Sam, last week also, comes in against the Boston Patriots and leads this team to an overwhelming victory.

30
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:07,000
So two outstanding quarterbacks, two with tremendous experience, two with some relative inexperience, Charlie, but nonetheless, this has got to be a whale of a football game.

31
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:17,000
And when we talk about the old master, Paul Brown, it's difficult not to recall that there are seven head coaches of the National Football League that either played for Paul or an assistant coach under him.

32
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000
And the head coach of Baltimore played for him at Ohio State, and before the ballgame, Al had a chance to visit with the head coach of Baltimore.

33
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Don McCafferty, in his 22nd year of coaching, his 12th year with the Baltimore Colts, in your first playoff game, you're going against your old coach. How did that feel, Don?

34
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Well, it was a big thrill for me, but we're not playing the coach, we're playing the Bengals. The players have to play out there. I'm not going against Brown. I can probably take how big of an he is.

35
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Don, your two quarterbacks, we saw last week John United still out. We saw Earl Morrow come in. What should we expect today?

36
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Well, John will start. The reason we put Earl in there last week, we wanted to give him some work. And we already plan on going with John for a quarter, and that's all he played. And Earl did a fantastic job the last three quarters.

37
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I think we're gifted with two of the finest quarterbacks in pro football, and it doesn't make a difference who's in there.

38
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
How do you see the Cincinnati Bengals team?

39
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Well, they impress us with having probably the greatest overall team speed of any team we've met, both in offense and defense. They don't have any what you call established NFL stars, but they're young kids, they're eager to get them back. We're expecting the hell out of them. It could be in today.

40
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Don, one last question. The wind, the only element today that could be a factor, how do you see it?

41
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Well, we've had a windy day here when we played the Eagles. It was a little worse than this, and it affects the long-batting game as far as I can see. Probably have to think short going into the wind, think long when the wind is good back.

42
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Right. Don McCaffrey, the coach of the ball, Mark Colts, have a good day, Coach.

43
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Thank you, Al.

44
00:05:43,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Of course, the man that we have mentioned before, the head coach of Cincinnati, taking an expansion team and in three years to the playoffs, the possibility of reaching the Super Bowl, as we said, there is no tomorrow for the loser. The winner will play in the AFC championship game on NBC a week from tomorrow.

45
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Before the ball game, I'll also have an opportunity to visit with the head coach of Cincinnati.

46
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Coach Paul Brown, as long as I've known Coach Brown, that's for many years, I played on the two first Pro Bowl teams that you coached, and frankly it was just a great experience for me. But more importantly, Coach, you're in playing the Baltimore Colts with a three-year team that's got to make you feel pretty good.

47
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Real great, really. We went beyond our expectations. The unusual thing was that we lost six in a row and then won seven in a row, and I could never have foreseen it. We're happy to be here, flattered, and that doesn't mean that we aren't going to go after him, however.

48
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000
You've said some nice things about your quarterbacks over the years. Your feeling about the quarterback in his role.

49
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Well, Virgil Carter will be our quarterback, and he's a very poised young man. He's been through this mill a little bit. He was with the Bears and Buffalo for a while, and we think he's an unusual young man.

50
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:10,000
I think this, that maybe he's been touched up a little bit around the ribs, might have a little bit of a disadvantage, but he'll go all the way as far as he can go. There's no tomorrow after this football game, and we're taking it on that basis.

51
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:20,000
How about the Baltimore Cokes? Well, they're experienced. I've known a lot of those people, starting with the coach who used to play for me, Al, and so does John Sendeski, their offensive line coach.

52
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:32,000
They're solid, high-grade people, and I know this. They'll have them ready to go, which they should. This is getting to the point now where we're getting down to the nitty-gritty of it.

53
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:49,000
And we're coming out with the idea of just firing Paul back and seeing if we can have a little fun with doing our best. And I'm going to be interested in how we react under the pressures of it, but we really can't lose too much because we're going to at least get the experience of being under pressure.

54
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Right. Paul Brown, one of the great ones of all time.

55
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:01,000
The Cincinnati Bengals, the Baltimore Cokes, are ready for the opening kickoff. We'll be right back for the start of today's National Football League AFC playoff game.

56
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,000
We ask you to stand and join the Colts' band and the international recording star, Demetha Jo, in the singing of our national anthem.

57
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

58
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:31,000
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

59
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Here are the officials for today's game. Jack Vest is the referee. Frank Sinkevich is the umpire. Walt Peters the headlinesman. Aaron Wade is the line judge. Adrian Burke the back judge. And Bob Bauer is the field judge.

60
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Baltimore will be kicking off Jim O'Brien and the deep men on the return.

61
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Will be Paul Robinson and Lamar Barish. If you take a look at the offensive set and we will give you a complete rundown on that just following the kickoff. O'Brien has had 82% of his kickoffs returned. Only 18 not returned this year.

62
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:17,000
To the far side it is out of bounds. That's an automatic five yards. He will be kicking again from the 35 yard line.

63
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:30,000
So here's a look now at the offensive set for Cincinnati. Virgil Carter at quarterback. Paul Robinson and Jess Phillips the running backs. Chip Myers and Eric Crantery listed as the wide receivers. We will also see Speedy Thomas there.

64
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Bob Trumpy is the tight end. Ernie Wright and Howard Fest are the starting tackles and we will see Mike Wilson there on the right side. Rupesh Mays at left guard.

65
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Pat Madsen and Guy Dennis the messenger service on the right side and Bob Johnson will be the starting offensive center. Now we're set to kick off again from the 35 yard line.

66
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Robinson at the two yard line. Sixth and kickoff returns in the AFC.

67
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,000
And he returns to the 25 or the 26 yard line.

68
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Jack Maitland was there. Bob Grant was also there and Robbie Nichols was there on defense.

69
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000
And here's the ball. Cincinnati their own 26 first down 10 yards to go.

70
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The defensive front four for Baltimore will be Bubba Smith Billy Ray Smith Fred Miller and Roy Hilton.

71
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speedy Thomas goes wide to the far side as a flanker.

72
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Double wing on the left side. One remaining back.

73
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:41,000
As a yard and that's where he is at first down his second effort he picks up a couple more and Roy Hilton makes the tackle.

74
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Market at the 30 it'll be second down and check.

75
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Ray May Mike Curtis Ted Hendricks the linebackers Charlie Suits and Jim Dockman on the defensive corners. Jerry Logan and Rick Volk at defensive safety for Baltimore.

76
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Second down and check.

77
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Here wide to the near side as the split in. Stronger right side the backs are split second and sixth.

78
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Carter on the draw Jeff Phillips has a couple of yards where Ray May the left linebacker is not.

79
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
We've seen now two different offensive formations for the Cincinnati Bengals.

80
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Coach Brown is obviously looking at what the Baltimore Coast will do.

81
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
The Colts have shown a four three and on the second situation a four three.

82
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,000
But the two linebackers Ray May and Mike Curtis were playing a bit more toward the middle.

83
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Cincinnati strong to the right side. Both ends are tight and Vol Robinson.

84
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
He's towards the left wing third down and for.

85
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:59,000
A sweep to the near side Jeff Phillips is hit at the 33 goes forward to the 35.

86
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000
And will be a little shy of the first down by just about the length of the football.

87
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
So it will be forced down and Cincinnati will be kicking.

88
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,000
And Dave Lewis number one in the conference the forty six point two yard average will be putting.

89
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:20,000
On Gardin second in punt return is the deep back Charlie here's that the time of the football game

90
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:25,000
especially on this kind of a day the punting game for both teams both excellent runners could be a huge factor.

91
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:34,000
And you saw number 20 Jerry Logan he is the up back on the return.

92
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Into the swirling wind 32 yard line Gardin has about a three yard return to the 35.

93
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
John Guillory was the first man to get to it.

94
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Baltimore's ball their own 35 yard line their first time on offense and this is their step.

95
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
John United's at quarterback.

96
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Norm Blouife down to watch the running back.

97
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Roy Jefferson and any hidden wide receivers John Mackey is the tight end.

98
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:10,000
Going to the right side Jefferson the planker the back for close to the weak side.

99
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
The ball carriers Tom Nowatski and he is hit by Roy Sparrow a defensive left hand.

100
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:25,000
It was interesting on that first down the defensive secondary was really rolling to the strong side leaving Ken Riley number 13 man to man on number 33 at Hinton.

101
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
We might look for John the work to hit.

102
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:44,000
The interior offensive line for Baltimore Glenn Rattler Bill Curry John Williams and Dan Sullivan.

103
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
I agree may have been in the neutral zone the past to Jefferson left.

104
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Bended at the 41 yard line there was a marker on the play.

105
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Let your breath made the tackle.

106
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Defensively Royce Barry Mike Reid Steve Chalmers that can run carpenter with Albo champ Bill Burge and Kenny Reed the linebacker Lamar parish can Riley on the corners lecture Smith and Kenny Dyer and defensive safety.

107
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000
It was second down in nine.

108
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,000
The five yard penalty accepted the ball goes to the 41.

109
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Offside.

110
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:23,000
It'll be second down now and for no score in the ballgame.

111
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:30,000
10 minutes 59 seconds remaining in the first period.

112
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Baltimore has the wind although it does swirl at the opposite end but it is to the back of the first period.

113
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Going to the right side the back close to the weak side.

114
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Sweet near side.

115
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:49,000
The rookie from DCU has the first down the first first down the ballgame 48 yard line.

116
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Kenny Dyer made the tackle and there you saw the power of the Baltimore team to the right guard wrestler.

117
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Oh go both pulling you see them both taking off who lost weight for the break and cut behind.

118
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Good move.

119
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
First defensive contact was by Ken Avery the right linebacker Eddie Hinton goes wide to the far side.

120
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Jefferson is in the backfield and moving to the right wing is the.

121
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
The bitches to Jefferson.

122
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
In the Cincinnati territory again of about three yards.

123
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:33,000
It'll be second down in seven and Royce Barry the defensive left hand and Bill Berge the linebacker was also there.

124
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Let's call it the 48 yard line and it'll be second down six yards to go.

125
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Eddie Hinton the number two receiver a tighter second in receiving the AFC goes wide to the far side.

126
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Jefferson is to the near side strong left.

127
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:03,000
That's against the grain and has a first down 39 yard line again of nine on the play.

128
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Kenny Dyer and Lamar Barry making the tackle there again you saw the onside guard John Williams number seventy five pulling John actually didn't make it.

129
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
I didn't make the block rather.

130
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Ken Avery was playing in a good wide trying to force it back and the runner made a good cut to the inside.

131
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Strong to the right side in the back to split first down 39 yard line single territory control no score to give again is to do like.

132
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
He has three to the 36 it'll be second down in seven.

133
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Interesting interesting strategy Charlie neither team has put that football up in the air both coming out with essentially the same thing.

134
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:54,000
I think the big quarter and the thing they want to win is this quarter this is a very significant one especially for an inexperienced.

135
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Mike Reed and Fletcher Smith making the last tackle second down in seven like the rookie from TCU was born on Christmas Day his birthday was yesterday.

136
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:11,000
Twenty four in college he was known as being injury from strong to the left side with the back closed to the weak side.

137
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:21,000
The watch the the lead blocker and the life again gets the car as a yard to the 35 it'll be third down and six yards to go Mike Reed was there.

138
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000
The number one draft choice the rookie from Penn State for Cincinnati number 74.

139
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:35,000
What for Cincinnati with Royce Barry Mike Reed Steve Chalmers back in running carpenter exceptional quickness out particularly for that young at the end of the line.

140
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Two rookie Royce Barry in his second year in town attacking his fourth year third down.

141
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
They get on a reverse.

142
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,000
I think the life and then Mike Reed was there.

143
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Chalmers Jack was Jake him and Mike Reed got him off.

144
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Jim O'Brien coming in a field goal attempt coming up.

145
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,000
A loss of seven on the play. This is a tough way to kick that field ball.

146
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000
The wind is coming from Jim O'Brien left.

147
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
So he's going to have to play it a bit to his left to hit that crossbar.

148
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
This will be his longest of the season.

149
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
He's kicking from the 50 as long as 48.

150
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,000
He has the wind. He is at 50 percent 56 percent of his field goal this year.

151
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Low and it is blocked. Cincinnati stopping Baltimore and they will take over. Chalmers Jack and carpenter were both there.

152
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000
This NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore with the score.

153
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Cincinnati nothing. Baltimore nothing.

154
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Cincinnati ball first down their own 41 yard line.

155
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Jim Myers wide to the near side. Thomas to the right side and Paul Robinson is the ball carrier.

156
00:19:52,000 --> 00:20:01,000
He is led by Jeff Phillips and he goes outside the 45 Billy Ray Smith number 74 defensive left tackle made the stop.

157
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He's in his 12th year and may wrap up the season for Billy Ray at six four two hundred and fifty pounds.

158
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:11,000
He's playing with a broken hand and also a torn arm muscle.

159
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
And he has suffered those injuries about five or six games ago and he stayed with him.

160
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Let's call it the 47. It will be second down. Not quite five yards to go.

161
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:33,000
The quarterback he gets to Jeff Phillips. The hole on the left side is closed by Jim Duncan and Rick Voak.

162
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Three yards to the 50. Third down just over a yard to go for the first down.

163
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Virgil Carter the quarterback. Here's a look at Phillips. He has scored five touchdowns this year.

164
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Ninth in rushing as a four yard average. Virgil Carter the quarterback for Cincinnati is wearing a boxer's mouth guard.

165
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,000
In the Houston game two weeks ago he had his lip cut and his tongue cut. He's wearing a boxer's mouthpiece.

166
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
His lower lip. His lower teeth.

167
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000
And now Tad Hendricks comes in double tight in on the set. Robinson back down. He will not pick up the first down.

168
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000
The defense led by Ted Hendricks the weak side linebacker and Fred Miller.

169
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Let's see where they mark the progress of the ball Al.

170
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000
And Ted Hendricks as you called it was really jamming. He was right at the line. They were looking for that inside run.

171
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
And he did what you were supposed to do. He moves across and he closes the hole.

172
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
And then Hendricks number 83. You see him move across. Now he moves in on the trap.

173
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:50,000
Dave Lewis will be kicking. Ron Gardine is the deep back Jerry Logan the up back on the return.

174
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Gardine has the longest in the conference this year. 80 yards for a touchdown. End over end.

175
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:06,000
The 18 yard line. Return to the 26. John Guillory was there number 28 to make the tackle.

176
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:13,000
This NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore with the score Cincinnati nothing Baltimore nothing.

177
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Four and a half minutes remaining first period no score in the ball game. A pass has not been attempted.

178
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Baltimore ball first down there in twenty seven. In motion to the far side is Norm Bullock. Now he's stopped.

179
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Four men out on the pattern going deep to the tight end.

180
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
John Mackie the intended receiver and the pass is incomplete.

181
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,000
This telecast presented by the authority of the Baltimore Codes Football Club intended for the private use of our audience.

00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
And he rebroadcasts through the use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Baltimore Codes Football Club.

184
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,000
You know Charlie when you watch a Paul Brown called game and a John United called game you always look for the unexpected.

185
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,000
A man that's been a big factor for the Cincinnati Bengals has been Fletcher Smith number 31.

186
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,000
That time Mackie an unexpected play they tried to beat the guy covering the strong the strong and almost did.

187
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Eddie Hinton goes wide to the far side the coach spits their back and they are strong to the left side.

188
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Roy Jefferson is also on the left side running weak at Blue Line.

189
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
He's hit at the 31 by Lamar Farish comes down about the 33 yard line.

190
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:28,000
It'll be third down and still three yards to go for the first down.

191
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Mark it third down and two as he marked the ball at the 34 yard line.

192
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Don Mitchell comes in Hinton comes down we'll have double tight end for Baltimore.

193
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:44,000
John can keep it on the ground Charlie he can make it with the run but he may again they just put Tom Mitchell in with a play number 84.

194
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Two tight ends in the football.

195
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Jefferson in motion to the far side.

196
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Back against the motion.

197
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
For the first down.

198
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:03,000
The rookie from DCU with a injury history in collegiate football picking up the first down Bill Berge made the tackle.

199
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Look at North 6 1 218 pounds in the number one draft choice.

200
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Eddie Hinton back in he goes wide to the far side.

201
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Over on the left wing goes Blue Line and Nowatski is the remaining back.

202
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:25,000
First and 10 quick pass tight end Mackie's cut down by the strong AC Fletcher Smith.

203
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
But not before he picks up eight yards on the play.

204
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,000
Ball at the 46 yard line second down into two fifty two remaining first period.

205
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:40,000
John took advantage of what he thought was going to be a blitz and you saw Al Bochamp number 58 going in and he hit the tight end quickly.

206
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Good call.

207
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Second down into Baltimore controls at their own forty six.

208
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:54,000
We have no score in the ballgame and the winner here moves to the AFC championship game to be played a week from tomorrow and seen on NBC.

209
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,000
The back close to the weak side the bank is in a lot.

210
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Who like with a second effort after being dropped in the 50 yard line at five more yards to the 45 where Kenny Dyer brings him down and he has another first down.

211
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
And now we talked about youth against experience.

212
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:23,000
But it has been the youth the rookie running back of Baltimore that has been the big gun for the culture in the first period.

213
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:35,000
The back just got to the right side with Jefferson the blanket going to Eddie Hinton the fastest to almost intercepted by Ken Riley.

214
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,000
It'll be second down in 10.

215
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
So again United throws on first down right.

216
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
It was a good call.

217
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
He's trying to capitalize on that man the man that Ken Riley is in.

218
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
And I'm sure he's going to be watching for the move.

219
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:54,000
A number twenty seven tens are can is playing in the hole and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see John come back with that same.

220
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:03,000
In the last seven games at Cincinnati one they had 14 takeovers they recovered three fumbles picked up eleven opponent passes.

221
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Second and United as Al Bochamp ramped him up down the watch in his sixth year who came to Baltimore as a linebacker on their taxi squad from Detroit and is now the starting fullback.

222
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
They're going into Charlie at three man front.

223
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:31,000
They're putting in a fourth linebacker Ron Carpenter number 70 went out.

224
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Nick Roman is in and Bill Peterson is in.

225
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Thomas Akin Carpenter come out third down double wing on the left side United going to Jeffers.

226
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Oh yeah.

227
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000
That down bad United to Roy Jefferson.

228
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Jeffers and going down Lamar Parrish almost making a great play like a marble up with that left hand.

229
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,000
This is a perfect path.

230
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
You just don't throw them any better than that.

231
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,000
What Jefferson perfect execution three people around him.

232
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,000
There it is.

233
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Seventy four yards on the drive in seven plays.

234
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
John United to engineer it.

235
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,000
The point after 59 seconds remaining first period.

236
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,000
This NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score of Baltimore seven Cincinnati nothing.

237
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,000
Well Robinson number 18 six and kickoff returns and Lamar Parrish number 20 second and kickoff returns in the conference.

238
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,000
And again the swirling wind blows the football off of the team.

239
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:55,000
And now in the drive Baltimore had the wind to their back but at the opposite of the field it does start to swirl at the close end.

240
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Ray May number 50 seconds now will hold the ball on the tee.

241
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:32,000
And Cincinnati will take over on their own 20 yard line first down tomorrow on NBC Miami against Oakland starting at four o'clock Eastern Standard Time open winners in the Western division of the AFC in Miami with the best second place record and a strong finish in the regular season.

242
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:48,000
And Cincinnati first down Bingo Baltimore leads seven other number 15 Dave Lewis is now the quarterback and he has dropped well off the two.

243
00:28:48,000 --> 00:29:03,000
We're looking from Stanford who handles the kicking George and played in Montreal with the Alouettes for a year.

244
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
It looks like number 47 is not too concerned about a deep pass.

245
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:18,000
First of Carter back in and quarterback second down just over 11 yards to go.

246
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:24,000
And then Phillips running back and Jeff Phillips gets the dog to the 21.

247
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
It'll be third down and now.

248
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Jeff Miller at the defensive right tackle and Mike Curtis the middle linebacker stop him as the gun down the end of the first quarter. The NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore with the score of Baltimore seven Cincinnati nothing to me and people in Pakistan are

249
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:57,000
faced with starvation exposure disease the Pakistan blood was the worst natural disaster in the century. It'll be a greater disaster if we don't care in whatever amount you can to save the survivors Pakistan Relief Fund box 1670 Washington D.C.

250
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:13,000
The zip code is two zero zero one three third down and not Cincinnati is over to in third down situation. They have yet to throw the football.

251
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000
35 yard line 14 yards on the back.

252
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Andrew Carter the chip Myers Rick both makes the tackle and that is the first first down in the ballgame for Cincinnati in the first period. Baltimore at offensive possession for 15 plays Cincinnati for Jeff Cincinnati now with the wind to their

253
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
back but they do face the sun.

254
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:56,000
The D. Thomas the flanker to the right side in Myers the left in the back to left.

255
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:07,000
And he does have great lateral movement he was a fullback at Duke and he shows his speed here he just simply outruns the man. No one gets to him and that's the way they play defense.

256
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
This far this work.

257
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Charlie Bob Trump he has been kind of innocuous so far he hasn't done much I noticed the linebacker is letting him go. Rick both can well have his hands very full.

258
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:27,000
On number 84 about something like a down for D. The ball at the 31 yard line.

259
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,000
First time in the bargain.

260
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Tiders going is almost intercepted by Curtis chip Myers the intended receiver.

261
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
It will be third down and for D.

262
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Well Brown hasn't used the screen much this year I noticed many teams have gone away from the screen to go with it with an experience team but the way that rush is coming it looks like to the top of the screen.

263
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
The screen can work.

264
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Third down for D.

265
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Chip Myers goes wide to the far side speedy Thomas to the near side.

266
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:21,000
And Virgil a good runner now throws deep it is.

267
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Now a perfect set and it was a perfect play by Ray May number 56 that screen didn't fool him there was just not a good enough fake at the line of scrimmage and Ray just went right out with it and Virgil by the way very widely pulled it in.

268
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Dave Lewis is in the fun.

269
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
The beat back.

270
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:54,000
The number 30 and Jerry Logan is the up.

271
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:00,000
I didn't pick it up at the 26 and he's wrapped up at the 28 of the 29 yard line.

272
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Bill Peterson was the first man there the NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score Baltimore seven Cincinnati and others.

273
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Baltimore ball first down their own 28th.

274
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Seven of the 1350 left.

275
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Now watch the the bar here you need a couple of yards on the play Roy Barry a defensive left in.

276
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Still burger the middle linebacker was also there now defensively for Cincinnati. This is a big theory. The last time Baltimore had the ball they drove for the score.

277
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Right Charlie could well be the most important theory in this early game is virtually a necessity that they stop them here momentum with an experienced team is a big factor.

278
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Eddie Hinton for Baltimore wide to the nearest side.

279
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
A full house on the day.

280
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Double wing on the right side.

281
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:11,000
And he fights his way for about six yards before Steve Chama Jack along with Ken Zier can bring him down and Baltimore using their flanker Roy Jefferson who is tied for six and receiving and score the first touchdown the only touchdown of the bargain as a running man.

282
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:17,000
Now with a double tight end as Mitchell comes down and it comes down to be third down in the yard.

283
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Again a double tight end with a full out there.

284
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,000
Jefferson comes in motion to the nearest time.

285
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:30,000
That has the first.

286
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,000
And in the short yardage situations when the coach made the first down they go to their rookie running back normal.

287
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:45,000
And those running backs are following their interference extremely well Glenn Rester six to pull to his right look downfield to pick a color.

288
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Solemar Parrish and pops into the outside.

289
00:34:50,000 --> 00:35:01,000
The ball of the Baltimore 42 yard line.

290
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Close to the week.

291
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Albo Jamp was there and get a very was also there.

292
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000
The official spot the ball at the 36th it will be second down and 16.

293
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:32,000
So obviously passing situation that John United will probably come with a draw but number 66 Bill Berge will probably be looking for it.

294
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:40,000
The men that he has thrown to the far that died in John Mackey and Roy Jefferson number 87 the flanker who is on the right side.

295
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Why did the man die.

296
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:57,000
The given set is to delay on his run waiting for his blockers to form interference and he has seven or eight yards on the blood.

297
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:13,000
The number 51 and Bill Berge the middle linebacker also there like the ball at the 43 yard line.

298
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Baltimore leading seven nothing a United Jefferson vast covering 45 yards in the first period.

299
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:43,000
The near side the goal strong right with the back.

300
00:36:43,000 --> 00:37:00,000
The man died and then made the tackle the ball at the 36 yard line of Cincinnati.

301
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:14,000
The eyes on the play and it was a 39 situation.

302
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:21,000
The lay screen to him on the near side to the 23 and another percent.

303
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:30,000
What a beautiful call that's the tendency of the Baltimore Colts and John United is to come with the screen in this situation.

304
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Run wrestler both out in front of the play both make fine block good screen.

305
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:56,000
The official spot the ball at the 24 yard line Chama Zach number 79 defensive right tackle is the man who brought him down first down Cincinnati's 24 Baltimore started to move.

306
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:05,000
And jumping with number 71 the right tackle Dan Sullivan.

307
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:12,000
And the penalty against Baltimore football at the 29 yard line.

308
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Look like John United is coming with a trap Dan Sullivan was shooting through to get the bill Berge that would have left it for Royce Berry number 82.

309
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,000
So let's see if John comes back trap play to the right.

310
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:36,000
And now I believe that is only the second flag that we have seen that far in the ballgame 844 remaining first half Baltimore lead.

311
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,000
United that's up deep being right now he calls it.

312
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Get mad at he was nailed immediately by Ken Riley Monday night. William F. Buckley Jr. makes a special guest appearance on Ron Martin's laughing Monday night at eight seven simple time here at NBC.

313
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:03,000
It'll be second down and 1529 yard line of Cincinnati.

314
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Roy Jefferson going to the far side.

315
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,000
Carpenter went over and made the tackle.

316
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Be sure that Cincinnati Bengals are ready for the reverse because the right end on that like Carpenter on the last series when they tried it Royce Berry was looking for the same thing they're waiting for that man to leave.

317
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Paul Brown must have them Charlie and the strict orders if that man leaves you stay here it comes and you'll see Carpenter stay makes a fine play.

318
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,000
I guess John isn't too good a block.

319
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:56,000
Seven it'll be third and 22 Nick Roman the rookie from Ohio State comes in on defense and Ron Carpenter comes down.

320
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Down 22.

321
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:19,000
One of the batters and United over throw every one Jefferson the receiver and Bill Burgey who had dropped back in the coverage wondering if not offensive fast interference.

322
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,000
It will be fourth down and 22.

323
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:33,000
As more comes in the hole and O'Brien in with a field goal attempt he is all for one in the bargain from the 50 yard line it was.

324
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:50,000
This will be a 44 yard attempt into the wind.

325
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,000
The fire with just a couple of feet to spare.

326
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,000
44 yard field goal.

327
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,000
The NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score now Baltimore damn Cincinnati nothing.

328
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Jim O'Brien will be kicking off for Baltimore.

329
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:17,000
On the right number 18 is Paul Robinson on the left number 20 Lamar Parrott.

330
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,000
It is nothing 737 remaining second.

331
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000
It is low and picked up by Ron land.

332
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000
The captain of the specially things returns the ball.

333
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
To the 40 yard line.

334
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Ron Gardin made the tackle.

335
00:41:51,000 --> 00:42:03,000
It's a Johnson is now in as a running back and he's the ball carrier the speed burner at 59 195 pounds and four yards to the 43 it will be second down and said.

336
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Interesting to watch the way Ted Hendricks 83 who was flopping to the to be on the strong side is playing against Bob Trumpy 84.

337
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,000
Okay.

338
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,000
They'll line up head on him.

339
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Sometimes he's giving him that inside move the last play he did.

340
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:25,000
He could be a prime back a look at the weak side linebackers dead Hendricks one remaining back double wing on the left side.

341
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Thomas is a flanker right.

342
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:31,000
They suggest the path to ethics is incomplete.

343
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:40,000
It'll be third down and six and now the last drive leading to the field goal by Jim O'Brien consume six minutes.

344
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:54,000
And you will notice also that that maps in number 73 and guy Dennis number 63 continue to alternate it right guard is the messenger service from head coach Paul Brown.

345
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Speedy Thomas comes wide to the right side as does the tight end Bob Trump.

346
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Carter second completion in the ballgame as the path has been used very sparingly a look at Bill Johnson the assistant coach one of the assistant coaches and Paul Brown on the far side line and the ball is spotted at the 48 yard line of Baltimore.

347
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:38,000
First and then that is the first third down situation that Cincinnati is converted into a first down.

348
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Second is the second.

349
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,000
Essex Johnson wrapped up in Bubba Smith got their first.

350
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000
Ray May was also there and Billy Ray Smith was there.

351
00:43:55,000 --> 00:44:16,000
The NFL postseason game coverage on NBC continues of course with the AFC championship game on January the third and then the Super Bowl on January the 17th in Miami and this ballgame opening up the action of the weekend is the next step to the Super Bowl.

352
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Down and 13.

353
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:28,000
Carter rolling left and he can throw rolling left and also can run to the 42 yard line of Baltimore.

354
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:42,000
First you'll pick up more than 100 yards rushing in one ballgame Mike Curtis made the tackle and the way that defensive unit is working we'll probably see more of it is ribs are bothering the coach Brown said before the game, but nonetheless the defensive coverage Charlie has been near

355
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,000
perfect.

356
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:56,000
Third down and for Cincinnati has converted to a five third down situations that far.

357
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Get my to the far side.

358
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Thomas move into the tight end on the right side.

359
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:20,000
The fans came on the left.

360
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Coming in November 14 Sam wife to hold an art woman with a field goal attempt coming up.

361
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:35,000
In outstanding years 70% of his field goal 25 or 36 and as long as 53 yards.

362
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,000
To be a 50 yard attempt.

363
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000
With the win.

364
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:51,000
May make the block.

365
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,000
And it has been the defense of Baltimore that is dominated the ballgame.

366
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:05,000
446 remaining another look and here it is the second one to be blocked today you see Curtis so there's may both going right after the foot.

367
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Big play.

368
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:15,000
The NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score Baltimore Jen Cincinnati nothing.

369
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:30,000
The ball their own 46 yard line for them.

370
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:45,000
We are briefly for station identification.

371
00:46:45,000 --> 00:47:00,000
The number 75 John Williams.

372
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:14,000
John United to put that big play that almost worked to John Mackey back into his bag of tricks number 88 you recall earlier with had beaten Fletcher Smith deep so we might see John try to come back with that one.

373
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:22,000
Jefferson goes to the far side in the man coverage of defense of Cincinnati Lamar.

374
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,000
United.

375
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:30,000
Try to lay it over his shoulder and the path is incomplete.

376
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Let your sweat was over there to bump John it'll be second down and then the ball at the 41.

377
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Let's take a look at Fletcher five year veteran 511 183 fans three interceptions during the regular season playing a strong safety normally a cornerback United now has completed four of nine bands of 86 yards through the air the key one 45 yards to Roy Jefferson for the touchdown.

378
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:08,000
The world with a 44 yard field over by O'Brien has been the score second and then Baltimore.

379
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,000
The 35 yard line again a section bill Berge trip him up.

380
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:29,000
It'll be third down and for Bill Kerry made a fine block number 50 in the middle so the John Williams number 75.

381
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:35,000
Down situation Baltimore is converted for a third down.

382
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:45,000
And again with a flag drop picks up the yardage for the first down as he has time and time again.

383
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:55,000
But a flag was dropped on the play and that offensive line is just doing a super job again wrestler and mobile both pulling and there's a penalty both pulling and Boulogne showing good speed.

384
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000
That's a big penalty takes off behind.

385
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:03,000
First major penalty of the ballgame takes the ball to the 50 yard line.

386
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Defensive holding is the call against Baltimore.

387
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Third down and 19.

388
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:23,000
And dire brings himself out of the ballgame and Alvin Coleman comes in on defense.

389
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,000
And I number 27.

390
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Nick Roman is in a defensive end.

391
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,000
And John Gaffner third and 19 Jefferson to the right side.

392
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,000
If you left in the back.

393
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,000
The wide receivers along with Mackey are out.

394
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Also the lineman has realized.

395
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:52,000
And to lose the yard on the play.

396
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:58,000
Nick Roman with the initial contact.

397
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000
And Lee is in the fun.

398
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,000
For some of the conferences either with a 44 point seven yard average.

399
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
The Marbury's the deep back with speedy Thomas the up.

400
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:21,000
David they say like to keep them low on the wind but that's the time to return.

401
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:27,000
And wobbly fair catch is taken by speedy Thomas at the 20 yard line.

402
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:31,000
One minute 59 seconds remaining in the first half.

403
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,000
Cincinnati moves on offense.

404
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:40,000
The two minute warning to both ventures the NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score.

405
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Baltimore 10 Cincinnati nothing.

406
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,000
Those ball first round their own 20.

407
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000
Carter.

408
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,000
And dropped at the 15 yard line a loss of five.

409
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,000
It'll be second and 15.

410
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,000
Was the first man there.

411
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,000
Billy Ray Smith number 74 years a lot.

412
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,000
The rabbit probably in the glass here.

413
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Showing good for still keeping that offensive guard up using his hands well.

414
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,000
Good play.

415
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:25,000
The defense of Baltimore thus far Cincinnati's offense 23 yards passing 25 yards rushing they've lost five attempting to throw they have been held a 43.

416
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:36,000
You know the eyes on offense in the first.

417
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,000
The yard line a lot of.

418
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:53,000
And the loss of 25 pounds this year makes the tackle between the offensive line of the Baltimore Colts and their defensive line and difficult to give either more credit than the other but they both.

419
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:58,000
Really moved to the bank with her and it sure isn't bothering today.

420
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Billy Ray Smith comes out on defense Bob Grant comes in a three man right now.

421
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:08,000
Billy Ray and second with Bob.

422
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:16,000
And Roy Hilton and four linebackers and five grand and then 30 24.

423
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:30,000
And he is dead by Ray May to the eight yard line again of a couple it'll be forced down and still 22 is Dave Lewis comes in the.

424
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:36,000
And there is way.

425
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Baltimore is down to the clock with a timeout now with 30 seconds remaining in the first half on January the first on NBC.

426
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:58,000
Stanford against Ohio State and that game will start at 430 Eastern Standard Time and that should be an outstanding.

427
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
The Heisman Trophy winner.

428
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:06,000
For Stanford followed by the Orange Bowl Nebraska against LSU.

429
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:09,000
And that's on NBC.

430
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Ron Gardner the deep back on the.

431
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:22,000
And the ball is down by Bruce Gossett at the 49 yard line.

432
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:31,000
And they take over on their own 49 now with 21 seconds remaining in the first half.

433
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:38,000
The head coach of Cincinnati in his 36 year on the far side.

434
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:46,000
United.

435
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:53,000
The number 79 bringing him down the ball at the 50 so he picks up a yard it'll be second and nine in the.

436
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,000
Now with eight seconds remaining in the.

437
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:03,000
John does have the choice to try and obviously to go for all the marble but with eight seconds the logic would seem.

438
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Get yourself in the field goal kicking position and all you have to do is hit someone over the middle the linebackers will be looking for that deep secondary.

439
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:17,000
And that's what we're going to be playing to take away the deep.

440
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:27,000
Roy Jefferson goes to the right side.

441
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:34,000
On the draw Shama Jack wraps up the play right at the 50 yard line on the line of scrimmage.

442
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:47,000
Time runs out in the first half that is the end of the first half with the score Baltimore Dan Cincinnati nothing stay with us for half time activity and second half action from Baltimore.

443
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:55,000
It is short has been touched by a goal and then recovered Tom Nowacki one of the up back.

444
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:09,000
And that's the football and of course that doesn't make any difference the ball is live once he goes to 10 yards but no return on it for Baltimore.

445
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,000
It's got at the 17 yard line as John United.

446
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:18,000
The quarterback for Baltimore.

447
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:26,000
The back close to the weak side and what he is running back as a couple of yards Royce Barry and Mike Reed.

448
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Like the ball of the 20 yard line it'll be second down and seven out on the way to these two cornerbacks are both having five years Ken Riley number 13 has made a big difference on the right side for the Bengals and Lamar Parish having just an outstanding year number 20 on the left side.

449
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Eddie and comes wide to the near side Jefferson wide receiver on the far side and the back to the weak side again.

450
00:55:52,000 --> 00:56:05,000
Is John Williams.

451
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Riley Riley bumped him out of bound. Here's another look at a pre and Ron Carpenter played this near perfect. You'll see they're playing their men off.

452
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:19,000
They forced it back and now just that brief hesitation. It's what breaks the move.

453
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000
He almost goes all the way with this.

454
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,000
There was a last block by wrestler.

455
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Again a 13 on the play and a first down.

456
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:40,000
The back to the right side Mackie is an open right in. He's got a couple of yards.

457
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,000
As three to the 36th.

458
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:49,000
It'll be second down and seven and Baltimore continues to run inside.

459
00:56:49,000 --> 00:57:04,000
John looking at Mike Reed number 70 for the defensive tackle the rookie from Penn State having a great year. It doesn't appear as if he gets much acceleration usually from that stance but he's able to step up and he's strong enough to hold off that guy.

460
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Number 74 Mike Reed.

461
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000
They might get the 37 to its second down and six yards to go.

462
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Strong to the right side the back close to the near side.

463
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:20,000
A double fake United.

464
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Coming in from the defensive right side.

465
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,000
Royce Barry coming in from the defensive left side.

466
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,000
Third down and 14.

467
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Looking at the John United he's been intercepted quite a few times this year I think it was 18 Charlie and Virgil Carter has only been intercepted nine John to negotiate this one. This is the kind of situation where you figure pass the interception obviously always a possibility.

468
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,000
They'll be looking for those down and out.

469
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:58,000
The defensive change on third and long Nick Roman comes down and right in Ron Carpenter comes down.

470
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:03,000
Who likes 70 yards rushing the leading rusher in the United.

471
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:08,000
The draw.

472
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Mike Reed.

473
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:15,000
I was just talking about with a quick penetration got the right arm out and brought him down.

474
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:20,000
There's Mike the rookie from Penn State and number one draft.

475
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Lamar Barry's anticipating the part of David Lee.

476
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,000
Speedy Thomas is the up back.

477
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:41,000
Kicking into the win.

478
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Bear catches golf or by Speedy Thomas.

479
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:49,000
The four have the right for Cincinnati.

480
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:55,000
They take over on their own 35 yard line first and 10 first time on offense in the second half.

481
00:58:55,000 --> 00:59:09,000
On January the second NBC will feature the Gator Bowl Auburn against Ole Miss Sullivan against Manning a quarterback duel and then on January the ninth the senior bowl the north against the south.

482
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:16,000
The second off this first time second.

483
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Robinson back in running back Carter fires the club the incomplete to the tight end.

484
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,000
Jerry Logan with the defensive play.

485
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,000
And now this was the best you were looking for in the first half.

486
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:34,000
You had the feeling he'd be going to Trumpy although I noticed that the Colts have played man the man that last.

487
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:41,000
Play strokes on this side Jim Duncan the far side were playing bump and run Paul Brown may try to beat him deep.

488
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:47,000
Defensively for Baltimore Bubba Smith Billy Ray Smith Fred Miller and Roy Hilton the front four.

489
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Mike Curtis and Ted Hendricks the linebacker second and 10.

490
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,000
The quarterback a fake and a pitch out draft left side.

491
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Paul Robinson the ball here to the 37.

492
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
It'll be third down and eight Hendricks was there.

493
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Roy Hilton was there rounding out the defense for Baltimore.

494
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Jim Duncan and Charlie Stukes in the corner.

495
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Jerry Logan and Rick Vought at the defense and safety for Cincinnati wide receivers.

496
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Jeff Myers and Speedy Thomas Robinson and Jeff Phillips the running back Virgil Carter the quarterback Bob Johnson the center.

497
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,000
Rufus made the left guard.

498
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:26,000
Madison and Dennis alternating on the right side with Mike Wilson and Ernie Wright at offensive tackle.

499
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:40,000
Third and eighth lot on the left side no remaining.

500
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,000
This will be close to the first down and it was a call play.

501
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,000
I'm almost certain of that when you take those backs out of the backfield there's no running threat.

502
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:54,000
There's a tendency for the defensive line to put kind of an outside rush and Carter was going to just pull it in and try for the first.

503
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:03,000
He may have made it. He needed eight yards and the chains come on the field.

504
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:08,000
That closed about three or four inches down and inches.

505
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:14,000
Ten minutes thirty eight seconds remaining third quarter and Dave Lawrence comes into front.

506
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,000
Ron Gardine the deep back on the return Jerry Logan the up back.

507
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:31,000
I'd be number 30 second and third returns in the cabbage as long as 80 yard against Miami and that was the longest.

508
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:47,000
I think 13 yard line hit at the 16 yard line by Martin Bacaglia number 85 this NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score is still Baltimore 10.

509
01:01:47,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Baltimore ball first down their own 19 yard line United support.

510
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:05,000
The ball game here.

511
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Bill Berge the middle linebacker making the tackle.

512
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:16,000
Here's a look at Berge and his second year played his collegiate ball at Arkansas State and Jonesboro.

513
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,000
Meanwhile without the great speed in the backfield.

514
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:26,000
I would have to say that Sam have a like it becomes a third running back.

515
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:32,000
Their longest run from scrimmage this year has been 26 yards to continue to pound away.

516
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:47,000
John Williams the lead guy and the first down Java Jack and Carpenter with the tackle some fine block.

517
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:50,000
Bob Rogelitz tackle makes a great block.

518
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,000
That's good interference.

519
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:58,000
You're trying to watch you make a fine line.

520
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:09,000
The line has a total of 82 yards rushing in the ballgame and he's replaced by Sam have a lot former quarterback at Bucknell first down Baltimore their own 31 yard line.

521
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Eight fifty seven remaining third period.

522
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:17,000
The watch the the ball here.

523
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Steve Chalmers act number 79 making the tackle and Ron Carpenter was also there.

524
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:33,000
Charlie the Colts have not thrown to their back. They have not a great tendency for they don't have great receivers but this have a lack can catch the football does have good speed.

525
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,000
He also control the football.

526
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Super tutor in the regular season and those are bad.

527
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:49,000
The 54 and 28 yard United the ball deflected away by Roy Barry the defensive left hand six four two hundred forty nine bound.

528
01:03:49,000 --> 01:04:06,000
So it's third down in six yards to go. Roy Barry Mike Reid Steve Chalmers that can run Carpenter the defensive front four without Bocham Bill Berge and Kenny the linebacker Kenny Dyer is back in along with Fletcher Smith the defensive safety Lamar Parrish and Ken Riley on the defensive corner third down in six.

529
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Baltimore has converted four of eight third down situations thus far in the ballgame United to draw and watch the first man there was Chalmers that David Lee comes down and Baltimore will be kicking out Bocham.

530
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:37,000
Also had a piece of the play. Here's an ideal series now for Cincinnati Bengal fans the defensive unit has been able to stop them the offense hasn't been able to get anything going and probably they'll get good field position after this fun.

531
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:43,000
David Lee funding into a win that has died here in the second half.

532
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:58,000
The second round of eight to ten miles an hour. I'm very the deep back speedy Thomas the up back there cat is taken by Lamar Barry around the 23 of the 24 yard line the NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score.

533
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Baltimore Jen Cincinnati nothing.

534
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:29,000
The line is going to 24 years to about the 30 Rick Fulk makes the tackle right at the 30 yard line it will be second down and for our best is replaced Mike Wilson that offensive right tackle and Paul Robinson comes in replacing epic Johnson.

535
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Daniel those Paul Brown. Sorry the Baltimore coach using bump and run second down and long yardage are drifting off of they are now into a deeper zone. They will use a hash mark and the number of markings on the field in their zone coverage down second down for the back

536
01:05:45,000 --> 01:06:04,000
close to the weak side Carter throws in company. I'm Trumpy the tight end the intended receiver and they will slip up the wide use them as a white man on a slot they walk open and just as a wide receiver third down and for company on his move is deceptively fast.

537
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:16,000
I don't know whether Virgil was trying to set that up. He does have a rib problem. He is not known to be able to throw deep very well but he could have been trying to set Trumpy up.

538
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:34,000
He said he can't do this year I feel much stronger than the vast enemy they're over drawing on the deep batter.

539
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:46,000
The initial pressure Justin had to step inside of him and he was wrapped up at the twenty seven. Here's a replay of this defensive line. They just been through for the ASE Billy Ray.

540
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:52,000
Here comes Fred number seventy six. Really moved to play over.

541
01:06:52,000 --> 01:07:16,000
It's worth it back to the inside Dave Lewis will be kicking the deep back on the return is Ron Gardin high floater. Gardin takes it thirty nine yard line and that's all tomorrow on NBC Miami at Oakland at four o'clock Eastern Standard Time in the second ASE divisional

542
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:28,000
playoff game. The winner today and the winner between Miami and Oakland will be on January the third for the championship of the ASE another step towards the Super Bowl and you can watch it all on NBC television.

543
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:37,000
John Gillory making the last tackle for Cincinnati. Baltimore has possession the ball in their own thirty nine yard line first down by fifty two remaining third quarter.

544
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:53,000
Baltimore leads in another United the double fake delay screen right side. Jefferson has it and has got from behind. Roy Jefferson the wide receiver on a delay screen in the right flat and Royce Barry makes the tackle and Jefferson comes up

545
01:07:53,000 --> 01:08:08,000
lipid and he is replaced by Ray Perkins number twenty seven who is operating with a broken toe that he suffered in the ballgame last Saturday against the New York Jeff second down and six of all of the forty five yard line.

546
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Whether a gain or six second down and four who comes to the near side and Perkins goes to the far side. Strong left with the back closed. He was back in the ballgame. Gary looks as if he wanted to throw out a great play that Ken Avery made.

547
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:41,000
Ken played his locker off extremely well moved to the outside when the runner was trying to come back in there was Avery perfect position for the right corner linebacker. A loss of five it will be third down and nine.

548
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:59,000
Nick Roman comes in Ron Carpenter comes out again the defensive chain on the third and nine situation. Norm Bluock and Tom Nowacki the running back there is left Perkins wide to the far side and open left United for man right.

549
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:16,000
John running for the first down.

550
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:30,000
John is the third down and he's got a great hand here in Baltimore and this is a this is a really big play for the Baltimore coach. You'll see a pretty good right. He's got plenty of time good coverage downfield.

551
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:38,000
He steps up this is a determine the run as you're going to see United's make 18 yards very getting him I try to drive the ball.

552
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:46,000
The 42nd down.

553
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:52,000
After going to the 39 again of three years pushback defense by Berge and Ken Avery was there.

554
01:09:52,000 --> 01:10:05,000
It'll be second down and seven and now you look for that one play that can establish the momentum in the ballgame play very close to the chest it could be the 18 yards family of United could well be a lot of the Cincinnati Bengals team is a tough

555
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:16,000
team. They don't quit they're hanging in there and they're scratching all the time. This again is that we've indicated several times there are certain times in the game Charlie when you have big series and obviously this is a big one for the Bengals.

556
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:24,000
The ball at the 39 of Cincinnati fifth time in the ballgame that Baltimore has been inside the Cincinnati 40 yard line twice they have capitalized with scores.

557
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:27,000
The best is just incomplete.

558
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:41,000
No interception. There have been no fumble recovery. In fact, I do not recall a fumble out third down and seven the ball at the 39 yard line field goal range of Jim O'Brien.

559
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:58,000
To 47 remaining third quarter Baltimore with a 45 yard touchdown pass in the first period and a 44 yard field goal in the second lead another third and seven.

560
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,000
The draw.

561
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:04,000
Thirty six yard line again of three it will be fourth down and four.

562
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:13,000
Nick Roman makes the tackle Ken Avery was there and Jim O'Brien comes in with a field goal attempt coming up and then Charlie it's all the ability of that Bengal team to react.

563
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:26,000
I was a good call by United he likes to do it either scream or draw in that situation but they really reacted well to it. O'Brien one for two in the ballgame from the 50 it was blocked and he hit from the 44.

564
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:37,000
This is another 44 yard attempt and into the wind that has picked up.

565
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:42,000
It is no good at drift off to the right side.

566
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:57,000
The NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score of Baltimore Dan Cincinnati nothing Cincinnati in control at their own 29 line Baltimore leads him.

567
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Robinson and Phillips the running back.

568
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:13,000
I got back to throw up release on a deep pattern and it is overthrown greedy Thomas on the fake of the sidelines and tried to go deep against the zone this time out and they floated double coverage on it.

569
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,000
Interesting up front.

570
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Bubba Smith number 78 left defensive end and Roy Hilton number 85 right defensive end switch Bubba going to the right Hilton coming to the left.

571
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:40,000
Second down and then Carter now has completed only three of 10 passes 29 yards through the air.

572
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:47,000
Chip Myers wide to the far side wanting to throw a screen to this side and then avoiding the line.

573
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Throwing the ball away Robinson sitting behind his screen on the far side but it was the strong Roger Fred Miller that's what is the effort.

574
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:03,000
He did have an opportunity on that play although he didn't have time to see the man to hit number 30 Jess Phillips.

575
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Jess has had a good year as a receiver and as a runner so we might look and see if Virgil goes to him.

576
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Third down and then Cincinnati is converted only two of seven third down situation and they have played the ballgame at their own end of the field.

577
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,000
The defense of the coach lot on the right side.

578
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Speedy Thomas in the bottom of that in company is why Jess Phillips about the 23 it will be forced out and seven Ray May makes the tackle.

579
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:47,000
Dave Lloyd will be kicking now with a minute thirty two remaining third quarter.

580
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:54,000
The number 30 the deep man on the return second in the conference return and the up back is Jerry Logan.

581
01:13:54,000 --> 01:14:01,000
And here's a look at Dave Lewis the rookie from Stanford although he did play a year in Canada at Montreal.

582
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000
And here's a beauty.

583
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:18,000
Cardin at the 24 yard line back to the 30 a flag goes down as the Cagliari makes the tackle Martin the Cagliari over there was a flag on the play and the finger was injured.

584
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Number 28 John Gilry is on the field back at the 25 yard line in Cincinnati territory and Ray May the linebacker is there and it was Ray May who motioned to the Cincinnati trainers on the far side that Gary was injured.

585
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:40,000
The penalty back to the 19 yard line against the goal.

586
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:48,000
Let's call it the 20 yard thing is the car.

587
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:55,000
The coach will have possession first and then just inside their own 20 yard line but time is still out on the field.

588
01:14:55,000 --> 01:15:03,000
Due to the injury to John Gilry on January the 1st on NBC the road ball starting at 430 Eastern Standard Time.

589
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:11,000
It will be Stanford against Ohio State Jim Pluckett against Rex Kern should be an outstanding ballgame as it always is.

590
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:21,000
That will be followed at 745 PM Eastern Standard Time the Orange Bowl the Orange Bowl Nebraska against LSU Nebraska with a 10 0 and 1 record.

591
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:29,000
And they could be going for the number one club at the time you get around to the Orange Bowl that evening and LSU a tremendous team particularly the latter part of the season.

592
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:39,000
I'm really looking forward to working that one because the LSU great defense and that super offense of Nebraska you've got to feel that it's going to be one great way to end the New Year's Day.

593
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:49,000
Don McCaffrey the head coach of Baltimore what a tremendous job he has done in his rookie season as a head coach a record of 11 2 and 1.

594
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:58,000
And this is the best record he is the fourth coach that Baltimore has had and this is the best first year record that any coaches have.

595
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,000
And he is the third pupil of all around to be a head coach at Baltimore.

596
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,000
We view banks and Don Sheila before us.

597
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:20,000
That's part of our game Baltimore 42 plays an offense Cincinnati 29 and the Colts have possession just inside their own 21st and 10 with 105 remaining third quarter Baltimore leading by a score of 10 nothing.

598
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,000
And a very conservative ballgame on both sides.

599
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Extremely so. So Charlie need a team as we mentioned earlier taking many chances but the two defensive units have been just outstanding.

600
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:45,000
And there is John United engineering the 74 yard drive and seven plays in the first period with the key the 45 yard touchdown that to Roy Jefferson the only touchdown of the ballgame that coupled with a 44 yard field goal in the second period by

601
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:55,000
O'Brien 10 nothing United going back to his side and it is incomplete as Fletcher Smith has the coverage on John Mackey.

602
01:16:55,000 --> 01:17:10,000
It'll be second down in 10 every did a good job Mackey was trying to go deep on that can force them to the inside and as you call it Fletcher Smith came over and made a fine play Jerry Hill is in as a running back to watch he is out so it is

603
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:14,000
still in the line to running back from their left.

604
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:24,000
Who is that is work cut out for him this afternoon. Picked up three more yards to bring us total back to 84 Steve Chalmers that and Bill Berge made the tackle.

605
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Take Roman number 81 has been alternating pretty much with Ron Carpenter 70 Roman a better pass rusher and he'll he'll have an opportunity now to show us where a passing situation.

606
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Third down and seven the ball of the Baltimore 23 yard line.

607
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:45,000
There have been no turnovers in the ballgame

608
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:56,000
going wide to the far side is Jefferson hitting his wide to the near side

609
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,000
whistle sound

610
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:13,000
and a delay penalty may be called the lay of the game five yards against the coast. That will take the ball back to the 80s. We were talking about Nick Roman and I'm always impressed with Mike Reed 74 he really moved off that football and was putting a good

611
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:17,000
size brush on United

612
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,000
down and well

613
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:28,000
and the secondary of Cincinnati was Barry Smith Dyer and Riley with good speed in the secondary.

614
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:38,000
Making only the one mistake and that was the perfect pass to Roy Jefferson to watch he comes in a full bank Jerry Hill comes out for Baltimore third and 12

615
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:54,000
sweep to the right side cutting back Roman catches him from behind they will stop him and about the 25 and four or five yard shy of the first down Roman and Dyer make the tackle at the 25 as the gun sounds the end of the third quarter.

616
01:18:54,000 --> 01:19:01,000
The NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore with the score Baltimore 10 Cincinnati nothing

617
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:14,000
to 1972 Olympic Winter Games fast and the five dollar contribution to Olympic outback TV 57 Frank Avenue New York New York I'll tell you more about it right after this play is David Lee is ready to find Lamar Perry to be back on the return

618
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:22,000
to the Thomas the up there

619
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:31,000
and takes the 33 yard line. It's a key block from Fletcher Smith.

620
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:45,000
This is an he recovers a fumble that is the first fumble of the ballgame Alvin Coleman recovered at his birthday tomorrow you'll be 26 years old. Let me mention again about the 1972 Olympic Winter Games that then the five dollar contribution to box TV 57

621
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:58,000
Frank Avenue New York New York the zip code is 10016 the contribution to the U.S. Olympic Games and the winter game. The world Japan in February of 72 will be carried on NBC.

622
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:21,000
The first one that Virgil Carter forced that he really forced that he had some good time back there. He dropped back. There was great linebacker coverage and that's the way you play that ball.

623
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:41,000
So Baltimore takes over on their own 48 yard line first down in the second half offensively Baltimore 23 plays Cincinnati only 13 and the gold that possession again like to the outside and it's hit by Lamar Perry 45 yard line of Cincinnati and

624
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:57,000
that is also there. Second down and about let's call it two and a half yards to go for the first down. Now we might watch John United found that deep pattern he's got the second short situation he could play it again close to the best run the football but it's another opportunity to go with the fly.

625
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:14,000
And now that makes the first down the key then the game of about eight. Now he can do several things and he comes back with a good 42 like a little slow getting up he's got to work out.

626
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,000
He goes over the 100 yard mark in the ballgame.

627
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,000
The ball at the 42 yard line.

628
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:30,000
He really is showing an awful lot of class he's cutting just beautifully. That second effort has just been outstanding.

629
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:40,000
We're like 102 yards rushing and I believe that is only the second time this year that they have had a rusher go over the 100 yard mark and the first down.

630
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:52,000
Bill Curry the center, when rest of john Williams the guy and selling Bob Vogel off into the tackle the tight end Mackey comes to the right side.

631
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:56,000
Left as he has.

632
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:59,000
First down.

633
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:14,000
Drop to the 45 so he's now below the 100 mark and Roy Barry is the man who made the tackle. What a great play by number 82 Roy Barry and a flag was dropped on the play.

634
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:19,000
The ability against Baltimore a major one.

635
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:30,000
Thanks a lot back to the 40 yard line in cold territory.

636
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:34,000
The down goes over blue light days.

637
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:42,000
And his total carpenter is replaced by Nick Roman on defense and it is first and 28.

638
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:49,000
12 minutes 33 seconds remaining.

639
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:57,000
And have a lot in the ballgame and he's in the slot on the left side. United back to throw a format on the pattern going to Jefferson.

640
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
He may not have seen the football.

641
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:02,000
My parents tried to pick it up.

642
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:12,000
Double coverage again this that was a play that worked earlier Lamar parish almost intercepted but but you're Smith 31 was waiting to pick Jefferson up.

643
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:17,000
28 Baltimore controls their own 40 yard line.

644
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:26,000
The coast dominating the ballgame from two standpoints or two categories one is possession of the football, and they've used up a lot of time.

645
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:32,000
The player has been their defense Cincinnati has not been involved in the ballgame.

646
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,000
The goal 40 yard line.

647
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Making and jumping to the outside will run out of room as both Jamp was there and Roy Barry was there.

648
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,000
A lot of a couple on the blood.

649
01:23:47,000 --> 01:24:01,000
The 30 in that position again where he knows he's going to get a big rush and he again might try the screen to the top.

650
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:06,000
United back to throw a format on the pattern going deep.

651
01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:10,000
The band is incomplete Ken Riley with the defense coverage.

652
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:23,000
And certainly David Lee with a 44 point seven yard average will come into fun.

653
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:39,000
United has completed five or 15 passes for 92 yards and one touchdown in the ballgame on the return number 20 is Lamar Perry, the up back is number 17 speedy down 11 just over 11 and a half minutes remaining in the ballgame.

654
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:42,000
Here's the beauty.

655
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:52,000
Very good the glove yard line loses his footing fumbles the ball. It is recovered by Alvin Goldman.

656
01:24:52,000 --> 01:25:03,000
But the local majority of standard is Cincinnati still has possession Bob Grant was there for Baltimore.

657
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:12,000
This NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore the score Baltimore Jams Cincinnati nothing.

658
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:16,000
That's a very ball first down their own 20 yard line.

659
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:22,000
That's the long remaining back harder back to throw the bad.

660
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:28,000
And Carter was nailed by a mother Smith.

661
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:48,000
Robinson the intended receiver here to look at virtual it will be second down and then the official attendance 51,127 Memorial Stadium all just over 60,000 so the record is faulted at 51 consecutive sellout ballgames in Baltimore.

662
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:58,000
Second and third the back to the right side.

663
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:05,000
The first down.

664
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Rick Volk was there and Jeff Phillips with a key block.

665
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:25,000
It's a great combination that they bought more culture employing a super fast rush and most of it coming from public and with that secondary really taking away the zone just virtually all the zones Carter is having a tough time reading that defense.

666
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:41,000
The ball of the 29 is third down in the yard to go.

667
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:58,000
Trying to get the official's legs above.

668
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:17,000
You'll see this in the end zone camera like number 32 meet number 30 right about.

669
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:29,000
The third time in the ballgame and eight opportunities that Cincinnati has picked up a third down.

670
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:34,000
As the crowd very vociferous in Baltimore as always.

671
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:50,000
I say one thing for the stadium it holds the noise well we had mentioned earlier Charlie that the Baltimore Coast on a third down situation or playing their cornerbacks very tight they're playing bumper run suits and Jim Duncan chip Myers 25 big range he's got fair speed.

672
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:56,000
And he's got them very good.

673
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:04,000
The third down the line the winner today.

674
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Miami and Oakland that will be on NBC at four o'clock Eastern Standard Time Carter back to go under heavy pressure.

675
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:27,000
The coverage was by Jerry Logan and then something was decked by Jim Duncan but the fans is incomplete it will be second down and then I should follow them or go on to win they have led throughout the ballgame.

676
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:41,000
They will then host the AFC championship game on January the third should Cincinnati come from behind the wind.

677
01:28:41,000 --> 01:29:02,000
The goal dominating the ballgame here leading nothing now with just under a 10 and a half minutes remaining in the fourth period.

678
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:17,000
The third down and then the Baltimore defense with their finest effort of the season.

679
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:43,000
The goal defense is held Cincinnati to less than 70 yards and total offense thus far.

680
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:50,000
He will end up a yard or two shy of the first down.

681
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:52,000
Grail is there on defense.

682
01:29:52,000 --> 01:30:16,000
Roy Hilton was there Fred Miller was there. Hilton number 85 the last man up. Mark the ball at the 37 yard line.

683
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:28,000
And Roy Hilton who was shaken up a bit on the plate is now being helped off the field and he's all right he wants to come out under his own.

684
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:44,000
Billy Newton number 81 the rookie from Bramley comes in and replace him as Dave Lewis will be kicking the beat back on the return on the return is Ron Gardine number 30 Jerry Logan is the up.

685
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:50,000
The snap from the center Bob Johnson the three man right here is the kick into the wind.

686
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Thinking of the 28 yard line by Gardner he's wrapped up immediately number 88 Bruce Thompson was the first man there.

687
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:04,000
Chet Myers the second the NFL well game will continue from Baltimore with the score of Baltimore 10 Cincinnati nothing.

688
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:16,000
Nine minutes 44 seconds remaining Baltimore has possession first down their own 29 yard line thus far in the ballgame Baltimore has been inside the Cincinnati 40 yard line five times.

689
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:21,000
They scored a touchdown on a 45 yard back and converted a 44 yard field goal.

690
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:26,000
They have been inside the 40 only once in the second half.

691
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:39,000
29 to 34 where Steve Chalmers act out the Magana five Cincinnati has not been inside the Baltimore 40 yard line.

692
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:46,000
Second down and five and the coach now needing only a couple of first down.

693
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:52,000
Using up a lot of time on the clock to take the ballgame out of the grass of Cincinnati.

694
01:31:52,000 --> 01:32:09,000
Second and five Jerry Hill for the first down he needed to go to the 39 and he went to the 43 nine yards and it's a first and then a job at our recollection that he said that he bangles has not been cut out this year.

695
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:13,000
I think the last time was at 68 against the open right.

696
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:27,000
Now both can't make in the last tackle the magnificent effort of the Baltimore defense.

697
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:45,000
United the corner and out of bounds in Cincinnati territory at the 48 yard line of Cincinnati Lamar berries was there and Glenn Ruffler number 62 with the lead guy.

698
01:32:45,000 --> 01:33:01,000
He's got the ball right at the 48 yard line.

699
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,000
Second down in the yard.

700
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:08,000
The back close to the weak.

701
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Jerry Hill first down 45 yard line of Cincinnati.

702
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:22,000
Tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock Eastern Standard Time on NBC Miami against the Oakland Raiders at Oakland Bill Berge making the last tackle the winner today.

703
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:30,000
Now Baltimore leading 10 nothing they would then host the AFC championship game on January the third on NBC.

704
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:40,000
The winner of that ballgame onto the Super Bowl on January the 17th on NBC.

705
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:57,000
United by Java that Steve Java that the four year veteran at 6 6258 pounds jumping United at the 47 yard line in Baltimore territory.

706
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:59,000
This is a great rush.

707
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:11,000
Time's number 79 really moving in the pocket collapse John Rears back and really get this.

708
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:27,000
John Mackie there's Steve Java Jack who dropped United and John Mackie the tight end pulled up lane and has now come out of the ballgame being talked to at the right end of the Baltimore Colbert.

709
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:31,000
The second does come in for Mackie and he is now open on the right side.

710
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:34,000
Three wide receivers.

711
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:43,000
United's dropped choice and give ground and the pass is incomplete.

712
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:46,000
There's a look at Mackie both champion very good drop back in the coverage.

713
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,000
It was interesting now to watch John United.

714
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:55,000
He's got time on his side a couple of first downs running might have just taken the ballgame out of position.

715
01:34:55,000 --> 01:35:04,000
He now finds himself either forced to go up in the air again or probably try to come with a draw and let that punt work in your favor.

716
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,000
They're down in a day we've talked about the Baltimore defense.

717
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:24,000
Cincinnati defense is at an outstanding United with four men on the batter and going.

718
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:29,000
And there's just a touch of class John United to bad passes.

719
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:40,000
You think he's made a mistake and suddenly he gets hit and man to man against Ken Riley a super route a perfect bad from six point.

720
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:43,000
Here it is from the end zone.

721
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:58,000
All agree that great position that the three yard touchdown that 71 yards on the drive and seven plays seven oh seven remaining.

722
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:13,000
The point after hitting three receptions 86 yards.

723
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:18,000
17 to nothing Baltimore lead seven oh seven remaining.

724
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:36,000
O'Brien getting set to kick off to Paul Robinson and Lamar Ferry Robinson at the 15 down at the 17 yard line.

725
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Billy Newsom made the tackle.

726
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,000
Mike LeBlanc at the Cincinnati 18 yard line.

727
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:53,000
They have possession first and down.

728
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:56,000
Six minutes 45 seconds remaining in the ballgame.

729
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:58,000
As Chib Meyers comes wide to the near side.

730
01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,000
Speedy Thomas to the far side.

731
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:02,000
Berger started the quarterback.

732
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:06,000
Robinson and Phillips the running back.

733
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Check it. It is not.

734
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,000
It is Dave Lewis.

735
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:20,000
To the 21 to the 25 27 yard line Dave Lewis listed as the number three quarterback.

736
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:25,000
And also of course the funner he led the American football captain.

737
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:30,000
He comes out and Robinson comes in.

738
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:44,000
Tomorrow night at a time to be determined later NBC News presents a special program featuring filmed interviews with two American visitors to the North Vietnamese.

739
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Once again.

740
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:50,000
And he has the first down.

741
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:57,000
Now these interviews were conducted earlier this week during Christmas preparation.

742
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:03,000
Now it should be noted that these interviews were done under the supervision of the prison authorities.

743
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,000
The film is in route to Japan.

744
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:09,000
Now it will be processed and satellite transmission tomorrow.

745
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:13,000
So stay tuned for further details.

746
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:17,000
Cincinnati has the first down.

747
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:23,000
Bingo 29 yard line.

748
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:27,000
Four men right wing.

749
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:31,000
31 around the 35 of the 36 yard line.

750
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Ted Hendricks the first man.

751
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Kim duck in the second man on defense.

752
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:37,000
And Virgil Carter is going to have to take the things the defenses are giving him.

753
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,000
The defenses are closing more toward the middle.

754
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,000
The linebackers making those big drops.

755
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Ted Hendricks makes his drop to the outside.

756
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Ray May makes his drop to the far side.

757
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:55,000
Number 32 Mike Curtis is dropping generally to the side of the side.

758
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,000
Mike Wilson comes in at offensive tackle.

759
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:02,000
Howard Best comes out the ball at the 35 yard line.

760
01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,000
Second down and four.

761
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:06,000
Four minutes 56 seconds remaining.

762
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Sideline batter and Kip Myers has it.

763
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:10,000
42 yard line.

764
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,000
A game of seven and he has the first down.

765
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:17,000
The clock continues to move as Jim Duncan makes the tackle.

766
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:25,000
And probably the story here is the fact that the Baltimore Coast took away the thing that the Bengals do best and that is run the football.

767
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,000
Paul Robinson has been unable to get moving.

768
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:33,000
Jess Phillips number 30 has also had a rough afternoon.

769
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:36,000
Carter has completed five of 17.

770
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,000
43 yards he has suffered one interception.

771
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:40,000
Makes it to Jess Phillips.

772
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,000
Over the middle the pass is complete.

773
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:52,000
42 yard line of Baltimore where Kip Myers has the football and the first down at the Baltimore 42.

774
01:39:52,000 --> 01:40:01,000
Mike Curtis makes the tackle and now the Coast allowing the short pass is assisted and he wanting only to cut off the deep batter.

775
01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:07,000
And the defense that had held the Bengals to this day under 100 yards giving up 40 yards.

776
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:22,000
The time of the clock 3.49 remaining.

777
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:37,000
In this situation with the obvious passing needs of the Bengals the linebackers become very significant because of the drop that Charlie Jones was talking about of that deep secondary.

778
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Second down and then the ball to Baltimore 42 yard line tomorrow on NBC at four o'clock Eastern time Miami against Oakland.

779
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:57,000
The way from.

780
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:02,000
That's the way from Billy Ray Smith and then Fred Miller.

781
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Miller makes the tackle but the credit goes to the secondary of Baltimore and they have the defensive deep coverage.

782
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:21,000
This is an area where you have by Washington 20 to nothing I believe that you're out of memory.

783
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:25,000
And here is Baltimore 17 Cincinnati nothing in this volume.

784
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:29,000
I'm a little embarrassed that I did that game.

785
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:36,000
The ball at the 45 yard line third down and 13.

786
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:44,000
On the near side.

787
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:47,000
Everybody dropped back in the zone.

788
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:52,000
The bad is incomplete.

789
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:55,000
He added Bob and dropped it right on the ground.

790
01:41:55,000 --> 01:42:07,000
The ball by the.

791
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:11,000
Three minutes 23 seconds remaining in the ballgame.

792
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:26,000
I believe how the wind whipping up again is getting a bit of a chilly.

793
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:41,000
The wind is blowing down 13.

794
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,000
That's the way from Curtis on a good move.

795
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Take the other with the back with the 39 yard line.

796
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,000
But he'll end up eight yards shy of the first down the goal takeover on down.

797
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Rick Paul made the tackle.

798
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,000
He just forced out of that.

799
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:03,000
This is a great effort.

800
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:10,000
Strictly determination here.

801
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:20,000
The Baltimore defense is held Cincinnati to a total of 125 yards in total offense.

802
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:23,000
Baltimore controls their own 39.

803
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:29,000
Two forty seven remaining the coach made it 17.

804
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:36,000
Now the quarterback and he gives to them have a lot of yards to the 40.

805
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,000
It'll be back in a line.

806
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:43,000
No champion Barry makes a tackle.

807
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:46,000
The leading rusher in the ballgame with one hundred and sixteen yards.

808
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:52,000
Norm Bullock the rookie from the.

809
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:54,000
We talked about the Baltimore defense.

810
01:43:54,000 --> 01:44:00,000
The Cincinnati defense has held Baltimore to one hundred and ninety seven yards.

811
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:05,000
Total offense fifty three and forty five yard touchdown.

812
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,000
That's the thing.

813
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,000
With an outstanding defensive effort.

814
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,000
That would be two hundred and ninety seven yards.

815
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:16,000
Two minute warning this NFL playoff game will continue from Baltimore to score.

816
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:19,000
Baltimore 17 Cincinnati nothing.

817
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:24,000
Jim O'Brien the field goal kicker is in as a wide receiver for Baltimore.

818
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Number eighty each to the far side.

819
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:29,000
Well against Jerry Hill.

820
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:34,000
Back to the 40 yard line where Chalmersak makes the tackle will be third down and nine.

821
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:38,000
Now now with Jim O'Brien at Baltimore the ballgame is a wide receiver.

822
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:41,000
We saw Dave Lewis in for Cincinnati as a running back.

823
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:46,000
Tell them do you see kicking specialist doing other duties in professional football.

824
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:50,000
I think the only guy we're sure of this horse movement.

825
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:58,000
Of course O'Brien is the fans in Cincinnati now played at the University of Cincinnati and was one of the leading receivers I believe as a junior led the nation in the.

826
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:04,000
First down and nine.

827
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Jim have a lot of fun with one of the back of Bucknell the running back as a yard to the forty one it'll be fourth down and eight and Bergen and Chalmersak makes the tackle.

828
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:25,000
The defense of Baltimore has allowed Cincinnati to move to their own forty two that has been their deepest penetration of Baltimore forty two and they got there twice in the ballgame.

829
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:28,000
David Lee will be kicking.

830
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:46,000
On the return Lamar Barry the deep back and speedy Thomas the up back seven feet and having Baltimore lead the victory here they will always be a champion game on January the third on NBC and they will play the winner of the game between Miami and that game on NBC at four o'clock Eastern time.

831
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:50,000
The bus fair cat.

832
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:54,000
And the ball down by Bob Graham.

833
01:45:54,000 --> 01:46:02,000
And now with 28 seconds remaining Ron Thomas and Cliff Mckemon got it right.

834
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:04,000
John Snyder and Luke Parker status.

835
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,000
Jim O'Gorman our production manager.

836
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:07,000
Thank you gentlemen.

837
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Outstanding job on a cold day here at Baltimore Cincinnati the ball on their own twenty yard line and Sam White is the quarterback his first appearance in the ballgame.

838
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:24,000
First down and then why.

839
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:26,000
This will complete the chip Myers.

840
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,000
Thirty five yard line 40.

841
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:36,000
The clock at the time runs out on the clock.

842
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:44,000
The defense of Baltimore and the offense of John United with two touchdowns after the 44 yard field goal by Jim O'Brien.

843
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:50,000
The final score once again Baltimore seven to Cincinnati nothing.

844
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:56,000
This is Charlie Johnson Al D. Regattus back at Baltimore and now we have John United down on the sidelines to join us.

845
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:59,000
John congratulations a great ballgame.

846
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:02,000
John tell us a little bit about your game plan.

847
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Al D. Regattus talking.

848
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,000
It looked like you were running early.

849
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,000
You start throwing a little bit later on.

850
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Well we just tried to run the ball whenever we could and throw you know whenever they gave us the particular coverage.

851
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:20,000
Bullock was having a real good day so I just tried to keep them going and give them the ball most of the time with our offensive line blowing out real well Adam.

852
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:25,000
I was picking up real good yardage so I just tried to minimize the throwing.

853
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:30,000
Right John let me ask you early in the football game you went to John Mackie.

854
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:32,000
It looked like you had a strong safety beaten.

855
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,000
You didn't come back to it.

856
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:37,000
Was it a particular weakness that you saw with Fletcher.

857
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:38,000
Well we were 31.

858
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:46,000
We just wanted to find out how they would play that motion and we sent Bullock in motion and then threw Mackie on that option play inside or outside on him.

859
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:51,000
And it was open. I just didn't get enough time to throw. I thought we would have had that.

860
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:55,000
We didn't come back to it because Coach Rick Astley just said to forget that one altogether.

861
01:47:55,000 --> 01:48:07,000
John it seemed as if you opened up the ballgame on a conservative note and stayed with it as if you did not want to take the big chance the only two times or about two out of three times that you went deep you hit for the touchdown pass.

862
01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:10,000
Was this part of the game plan to play it very close to the best.

863
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Now we were just trying to play it with a running game and trying our defense to play in such good football that we thought that we could get the ball in control to play we could keep them down as far as scoring is concerned.

864
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Tell us a little bit John about that strategy right near the end.

865
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:29,000
You're killing time real well with that running attack and then on the first down play the United's trait seemed to come up.

866
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:31,000
Come with the unexpected.

867
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:32,000
You went with the first down pass.

868
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:36,000
You came with the second down and then you finally hit Ed Hinton on it man to man.

869
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:38,000
What was your thinking in that series.

870
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:50,000
Well we've got it giving us a sort of a split coverage where the weak safety has the favor the strong side and Eddie Hinton had to inform me earlier that he could get sort of a inside move on this fellow because he's sitting outside.

871
01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:56,000
The only thing that concerned me was the weak safety position if he would go back to the weak side it would kind of hurt that particular play.

872
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:01,000
So I sent a half back down to the team to take the safety out of there and Eddie came underneath.

873
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:07,000
John we understand that you injured your shoulder just a bit in practice this week that it bothered you any at all.

874
01:49:07,000 --> 01:49:10,000
Well it's just a little bit like a toothache outside that's all.

875
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:18,000
How about the offensive line you were pulling those guards exceptionally well I thought Glenn Ressler and Volvo both did a fine job.

876
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:19,000
Well they're a good offensive line.

877
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:27,000
We've taken a lot of criticism at times from the newspapers here in town and people all over saying we just don't have a good football team.

878
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,000
We're playing poor football team that's why we're winning.

879
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:32,000
We're not too concerned about it as long as we win.

880
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:37,000
They sell us their experience they've been around here for a few years and they know what they're doing.

881
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,000
They give you a hundred percent effort at all times and the pass block is just fantastic.

882
01:49:41,000 --> 01:50:00,000
All three.
