The San Diego Chargers faced the Miami Dolphins for the 1982 NFL Divisional Round Playoffs at the Orange Bowl on January 16, 1983.
San Diego had defeated Pittsburgh in the wild card round after finishing the strike shortened season with a 6-3 record under head coach Don Coriel.
Miami was coached by Don Shula. They finished the regular season with a 7-2 record and then went on to defeat New England in the first round of the playoffs in order to advance.
This audio recording is from the National Radio Broadcast featuring announcers Jack Buck and Hank Stram.
And then Ubi Von Schaumann of Miami were both kicking the ball 55 yards through the uprights in practice.
Well, Braneska kicked 16 out of 22, which is pretty strong. Von Schaumann has kicked 15 out of 20, but they're both very capable of kicking a long ball.
It may be a big part of this game, and last year was an overtime 41 to 38, a classic matchup.
And it's a game that people have been talking about all throughout the season, and we wonder what's going to happen today.
You know, Jack, most people talk about the San Diego offense, but the game last year they won 41-38.
29 points of those 41 were generated by the specialty team.
The coin toss has been won by the Miami Dolphins.
They'll now get the ball at the start of the game and operate into a wind at the open end of this orange ball, a grass field which appears to be playable, Hank, but it's not really much to brag about.
Nothing classy, no. You're right, Jack. It's going to be fine, but nothing special.
And the middle of the playing field is rather barren.
Miami got this far by beating New England 28-13 as San Diego came from behind to defeat the Steelers 31-28.
And the winner of this game will host the championship game against the New York Jets, and we congratulate them as we congratulate the Redskins.
Yeah, no question about that. It's quite a surprise, I think, that not many people around the country realize how good a football team the New York Jets really are, man for man, and what a fine job Walt Michaels has done with that football team.
The same is true of the Washington Redskins who won against the Minnesota Vikings 21-7 yesterday, and that was really a fine job by the excellent Washington Redskins team.
And the winner of the game to be heard on CBS Radio later today, Green Bay at Dallas, will play at Washington next Saturday.
Later today at 3.45 Eastern, the Packers and the Cowboys, Lindsey Nelson and Jim Kelly describing the action.
Fulton Walker is back awaiting the kick from Ralph Fenerska. He'll kick from our right to our left as we start the game in the orange ball.
The winner goes on to the championship game against the Jets, and the loser is out.
Freneska's got a bigger catch around his left wrist. It's bigger than his shoe. He broke his wrist playing tennis during the strike, Jack, and it hasn't responded.
And he'll kick it off to start the game. 75,000 plus in the sellout orange ball. A high short kick, and it is taken by the wingman.
Off to the left side, returns it across the 20-yard line, and Eddie Hill comes out near the 25, and the Dolphins will start from there. What do you expect their approach to be?
I think they're going to try to run. This is what they do best, coming into the game to three running, 13 passing.
But this is what they like to do best, and I think they're going to do everything they possibly can to keep, try to keep the ball away from the San Diego offense.
Andra Franklin gains 701 yards during the regular season. He's in the backfield.
He's not in the backfield. Joni Nathan is back there, as Woodley is under center. Two tight ends, and a wing formation, and a pass play over the middle.
Wide open, caught across the 35, out to the 40-yard line of Miami. On a first down to the wingback, the tight end, Bruce Hardy, and a first down for Miami.
Jack, right off the bat, they caught him in a double zone, meaning that the outside receivers were covered by two defensive backs, two on each side.
The tight end, the middle area was wide open. They took advantage of it. But they're going to throw high percentage kind of passes and run the ball,
and be satisfied to make first downs and move the ball down the field and try to keep the ball away from the San Diego offense.
Now Franklin checks into the backfield with Joni Nathan. And on first down from the 40, Nathan comes to the right and tries to turn the corner.
He's headed the line of scrimmaging, gained only a yard, as the coverage by the lineman, Louis Keltcher, and the linebacker, Cliff Thrip, was very good.
And Thrip was the first one there.
The charges on defense, Jack, are 14th against the pass, five against the run.
So it's reasonable to assume that the Miami Dolphins are going to feel strongly about throwing the ball some, along with what they want to do running wise.
David Lewis is in at the starting left linebacker spot for the charges. And that's a change.
Second down, and nine, as the pick up of one by Nathan on the last trip. And Woodley is going to pass again.
Short drop over the middle, and incomplete. Off the hands of Hardy, coming in from the left side.
He was covered by Woody Lowe and Cliff Thrip, the two linebackers. And he could have caught that ball, but didn't, and it's third and nine.
Here again, San Diego is playing double on the outside people, and they're giving them the inside.
Evidently, they don't feel they have that much respect for the tight end.
Bruce Hardy's only committed, he committed the game with only 12 catches for the entire year.
So they're probably gambling on the fact that they want to get the ball outside.
They're going to double them and let them throw the ball inside and don't feel they're going to get hurt too badly with that time in operation.
Out of the shotgun on third and nine from their own 40, Woodley sets up the throw, swings it out and the platenets caught.
And the play is not good enough for a first down. The tackle is made across the 45.
As Tony Nathan caught the ball, and the first one where was there was David Lewis.
And it's time for the Dolphins to punt.
Whenever you get the ball, you want to keep it for a period of time against San Diego and get some kind of points,
because every time you give it to them, you are open to the dynamic San Diego offensive unit.
Here is the punt coming up by Tom Oros, who averaged 38, almost 39 yards a kick, and James Brooks is back at his 10.
We await the snap.
And the snap is to Oros, who boots the ball.
Pretty good kick, and Brooks waits and takes it on the 14, comes out to the 20 yard line, and is driven back.
The ball came loose, Brooks got it back, and the ball is at the charger 20.
The tackle made by Eddie Hill of Miami, a 41 yard punt, a five yard return.
Some of the fans thought perhaps it was a fumble, but the play was dead at the 20 yard line.
Chargers get it for the first time. With a score of nothing, nothing, let us take time out.

The Chargers go to work. They're a good offensive line.
Down basic at the center, Doug Wilkerson and Ed White at the guard, Billy Shields and Russ Washington are the tackles.
Chandler is a wide receiver along with Joyner.
Winds on motion and a toss to Muncie running right.
Cuts it up, gets big yards, spins across the 30 for a first down.
He's out to the 32 yard line on a big run on the first play before Glenn Blackwood tackled him.
You know, interesting that time with formations, they dictate what the defense is going to do by the variety of things they do offensively.
Talking about San Diego, they had a double cover on the outside receivers when the ball, before the ball was snapped, they sent a guy in motion though to take single.
They ran that way to eliminate the force and Chuck Muncie was able to pick up a big gain on the play.
Winds low is in motion, bounce back to throw and he is back inside the 25 yard line.
He was bounced on by Kim Boeckamper.
He was going to throw it out in the plant, decided he wouldn't do that and held the ball and Boeckamper just buried him back there.
He had no idea that there was pressure from the back side.
That's the great thing about the right end or the end position on the back side, the quarterback never sees him.
He never saw him and got a shot in the back.
As a result of the second down and 17 or the Chargers going from our right to our left.
And bounce sets up to throw again long over the middle and overthrows his man.
He tried to get Winslow down the middle and Winslow is limping as he goes back toward the huddle.
He got a bruised toe, came into the game with a bruised toe and he was limping noticeably trying to release downfield in the middle of the area against the double zone.
Third down and 17, the Dolphins took the opening kickoff, kept it for two and a half minutes and had to punt.
Chargers have it for the first time, they've been sacked one time and it's third and 17 from their own 25.
He's under center, back to throw, he's rushed, steps up, steps out and throws and it is intercepted by Miami coming back the other way with the ball.
Gerald Small has it inside the San Diego 30 down to the 27 yard line of the Chargers.
On a tipped ball, Gerald Small intercepted.
He threw well under heavy pressure and probably shouldn't have thrown it at all, Hank.
One thing that you have to do against Fouts, you must get inside pressure.
They got inside pressure that time, they made him throw off balance, he threw right into a lot of folks and it was intercepted.
Well you know that San Diego fell behind against the Steelers last week before they came back to win.
They're in danger of falling behind against the Dolphins here, the ball is at the San Diego 26.
Andra Franklin hasn't carried the ball yet, he's in the backfield.
He's in the middle of the room and he's outside, outside receivers, Jack.
Here's a delay to Franklin, goes outside, gets a couple of blocks inside the 25 and down near the 21 yard line.
He got five or six yards before Mike Williams, the cornerback, tackled him.
Andra Franklin is 5'10 to 25 and he picked up six yards on the run.
And he's the number two draft choice from Nebraska in 1981.
Now Franklin comes out and Tony Nathan is in.
D'Oreal Harris is to the left.
Jimmy Cephalo to the right, the two tight ends.
Are Lee and Hardy.
On second down and with Hardy in motion, Woodley tosses to Nathan running right, drives down to the 20 yard line.
And he picked up about three, it'll be third and short for the Dolphins to tackle by Louis Keltcher.
The defensive backs, the left corner Jeff Allen and the right corner Mike Williams, both are very deep, Jack.
And it looks like you should be able to throw in front of them when they're in that alignment.
Woody Bennett and Andra Franklin, two big backs are in there now for Miami.
They have the ball at the San Diego 18, third down and two.
They line up in the high formation with Bennett at the tailback.
Morris sets up as the wingback.
Woodley gives it to Bennett, first down inside the 10, five.
Here's Cephalo at the five, first and goal.
Andra Franklin clears the way.
Woody Bennett landed the five yard line before Bruce Laird made a touchdown saving Cephalo.
They put it down at the six.
John Geisler, Kuchenberg, boy they did a good job of blocking at the point of attack.
And they got good movement off the ball.
First and goal to go.
We're coming up on the nine minute mark remaining in the first quarter and interception has set the Dolphins on the march
and Tony Nathan and Andra Franklin are in their backfield.
First and goal from the six yard line.
Split backs, two tight ends including Joe Rhodes.
And here is Franklin running left, turning it up, driving down to the four near the three yard line on first down.
Louis Keltcher was there and he got the help he needed. Leroy Jones, Louis Keltcher, Gary Johnson and Keith Ferguson are playing up front for the Chargers.
They mark Franklin down at the three yard line.
And it's second and goal.
And this time Miami is keeping the ball for a period of time.
We have eight twenty left in the scoreless first quarter.
Moore is going back, second and goal from the three, Moore in motion.
Here is a roll out by Willie and a pass. Touchdown Miami!
He hit Matt Moore who was in motion to the right just inside the goal line.
And the Dolphins intercept the San Diego pass and go on top six to nothing.
Matt Moore, the recipient of that three yard touchdown pass.
And of course people look askance at the San Diego defense and Miami certainly moved it against them on that first drive.
Extra point drive by Von Schaumann who is twenty one out of twenty two during the regular season.
Don Strzok will hold the ball.
By snap they get it down, the kick is good and it's seven to nothing.
Six plays, twenty six yards, three minutes and three seconds after the interception by Gerald Small.
Seven nothing Miami, eight oh eight left in the first quarter and we'll be back in just a moment.

Silver Bowl Sunday is two weekends away. Sunday January 30th you'll get it all from CBS Radio Sports right here.
It's something special.
James Brooks is deep, he's flanked by Joe Danton Bauer.
And San Diego will get the kickoff after falling behind seven and nothing.
The referee is Jerry Mark Bright and we await his signal.
8.08 left in the first quarter.
Miami is very difficult to beat here on their home field.
Yeah they really are, they're tough and especially, you know San Diego had to go 81 yards the first time they had to get the ball.
They made a mistake. Miami had to go just 27 yards. They took advantage of it.
That's what you have to do when you get good field positions.
At least seven and nothing but basically because of that good field position.
Here's the kickoff and it is James Brooks taking it on the 11, quickly to the 15, to the 20, trying to get outside, cannot.
He's driven out of bounds at the 22 of San Diego.
Paul Langford was holding down the sideline over there and wouldn't let Brooks turn the corner.
Well San Diego would prefer to be ahead but they don't mind being behind.
They've been behind many times with explosions that they have that close them off.
That's why anything can happen anywhere on the field.
First down at their own 22.
A three man front with Gordon the linebacker right up on the line of scrimmage.
Here's a give to Muncie and a fumble.
Loose ball inside the 20. It belongs to San Diego.
So they've had a sack, an interception and a fumble but they got this one back at their own 16 and they lost six yards.
Bouts fell on it after Muncie fumbled it.
It looks like a bad, bad exchange. He didn't get the ball in the pocket.
It wasn't Muncie's fault Jack. It really was the quarterback's fault.
He put it on the hip and he didn't have possession and for that reason he fumbled it.
Second down and 16.
Chandler is to the left side and a motion back to the right.
Here's a delay and some room up the middle and Muncie comes out to the 19 and that's all.
Larry Gordon filled the hole in a big hurry.
And Ernie Roan the inside linebacker helped and it's third and long for San Diego and they can't get on track.
Muncie didn't get as much out of that draw play as he should have.
Really there was a big hole on the left side but he ran right into traffic.
Could have got a lot more out of the plays than he did.
Dwight Scales checks in as the extra wide receiver for the Chargers.
Winslow is on a wing to the right.
Joiner goes in motion. Bouts back to throw.
Has time. Throws now and it's caught beyond the 35 yard line for a first down.
What a throw by Fouts and on the money to West Chandler who went high and caught it.
First down for San Diego on the third down and 12 play.
Chandler is a great leaper and he's a runner receiver.
By that I mean anytime he catches the ball he can run for a touchdown.
He's got terrific running abilities.
He was a college running back at the University of Florida and he can do it all.
That was third and 12 when Fouts given time to throw hit his deep man.
And now on first down running right is James Brooks.
He's blocked, used the block, comes out across the 40 yard line
and he is down at the San Diego 41.
And he picked up four yards on the play.
Brooks tackled by A.J. Dewey and Glenn Blackwood.
There are two Blackwoods in the defensive backfield of the Dolphins, Lyle and Glenn.
Second down and six. Seven to nothing.
Miami leading first quarter, five and a half minutes left in the period.
Brooks and Muncie are in the backfield.
That's quite a one-two punch.
On second down a pass play by Fouts.
Sets and throws, runs out of the pocket, throws on the run, caught at the 40.
Then the tackle is broken and yards are gained by San Diego.
As Muncie is finally down out at the 44 it's going to be third down and three.
And a big hit on the receiver.
Third down and two and a half.
We'll call it third and three coming up for San Diego.
Muncie can catch the ball. He is very good at it and he just did.
And Winslow is out of the game.
He's really having trouble with that bad toe jack.
He just went off the field. He's not in the lineup.
O'Lehan is in at the other tight end spot.
He goes in motion.
Bouts gives to Brooks trying for the first down and did not get it.
He's all down from behind by the linebacker Bob Brudzinski.
They had the Miami defense all confused and were running around all over the place
didn't know where to go because they were looking for Winslow and he wasn't in the game.
They ran right into the strength of the formation defensively just by accident.
So after being intercepted the last time San Diego in possession of their own 44
will punt for the first time with Maury Buford the kicker. He's averaged 41 yards a kick
and Tom Vigorito stands inside his 15 for the Dolphins.
439 left in the quarter. Miami leading 7-0 and about to get the ball.
And there's the punt by Buford.
High and deep and Vigorito should let it go.
He took it out in the five. He's back to the ten and he's tackled at the 12 and he made a mistake.
The ball is back at the Miami 12 yard line after that 50 yard punt and the tackle by Andre Young.
With a score 7-0 Dolphins let us take time out.
This bird's for you. There's no one else who does it quite the way you do. So here's to you. You know all you do. You know the king of beers has done it through. All you do.
This bird's for you. This bird's for you. This bird's for you. For being on the job and working hard all day. So here's to you.
For all you do you know the king of beer that's coming through. For all you do. This bird's for you. This bird's for you.
And by the bush. St. Louis.
Callan Winslow is walking along the sideline in front of the San Diego bench trying to pull himself back together and if he can't play at, well he probably won't play at peak efficiency, but if he can't be in there for most of the time the Chargers will be in trouble.
Miami goes from there 12. It's a first down. And here is a give to the running back Tony Nathan trying to turn the corner. Does to the 15, to the 20, beyond the 20 and out of bounds. That's the 23 yard line and that's the Miami first down.
These which have the ability and the speed to get outside and turn that corner are tough to stop.
They got a poor force that time Jack. They were very deep in the secondary. Got a good block by the guard pulling around the outside. And Nathan was able to get around everybody and do a good job and pick up a first down on the play.
Jim Fox made the tackle at the Miami 23. So they've come away from their 12 to the 23.
And they use Hardy on a wing.
Too tight information.
Whitley is under center.
And a surge by San Diego. Here is the pass and it's caught out here to the right side by Tony Nathan.
Folks were looking for a flag to come down thinking that perhaps San Diego was offside or they were drawn off. Was there a flag thrown in?
No I don't see one. The tight end was offside it looked like.
I think the ball is at the 33. That's another first down as Nathan caught the ball. Everybody in the stadium was waiting for a flag to come down and none was thrown.
Looked like Ronnie Lee the tight end was offside on the play.
Everybody in the stadium cheered when they realized that the Dolphins probably got away with something.
So the ball is at the Miami 33. Chargers complained about that. It's a first down.
Here is a toss to the fullback Franklin. Starts outside, cuts inside and comes to the 40. Picked up seven yards.
And it looks like we're watching John Riggins again. David Lewis and Louis Kelcher made the tackle.
They're getting a lot of yards. They're using a big chunk. They're using a wing formation.
And doing a good job of blocking down and getting people out in front of the ball carrier. They did it again that time.
And now it's second and three.
Dolphins already lead seven to nothing. Three forty left in the first quarter.
Second down and three from the Miami 40 yard line.
Boy look at that tight end.
Here is Woodley back to throw and he looks throws outside. It's wide open and it's caught for another first down.
And going out of bounds at midfield is Tony Nathan. Tackle by Jeff Allen the cornerback. Another first down from Miami.
And they had double coverage on the outside and they had the middle wide open.
And in spite of that they still got the ball in a flat in front of the double coverage. Amazing.
That stops the clock with three twenty nine left in the first quarter.
And the Dolphins appear to be capable of doing whatever they want to do.
Andrew Franklin. Tom Vigorito are in the backfield now.
Vigorito splits out. He's wide to the right. Look at all the room on this side. Fourteen yards.
On first down Woodley back to throw. Looks and throws long down the left sideline out of bounds threw it away incomplete.
And Hank Stram is shaking his head.
One and one on this side. All the room in the world and he never even looked over here Jack.
Never saw it and threw it in the traffic and threw it out of bounds.
Second down and ten from midfield for Miami.
They scored with eight minutes left in this quarter on a three yard pass to Ned Moore after an interception by Gerald Small.
And the Dolphins have been unable to get on track on offense.
And Kellan Winslow is jimpy here today.
Second and ten for Miami.
Here is a give to Nathan running with a ball inside the forty five.
To the forty. First down down to the thirty seven yard line of San Diego.
On what appeared to be a passing situation they ran with a ball.
A good clearing block by the fullback Franklin and a dandy run by Tony Nathan.
He's one of the early stars of this game.
Yeah it was a delayed draw play. They faked to the fullback and then give it to the halfback.
Good blocking out in front. Number sixty Jeff Taze the right guard did a good job at the point of attack.
And he goes in there for another big gain in the play on a first down.
Woody Lowe made the tackle along with Andre Young.
First down now at the San Diego thirty seven. Some drive by the Dolphins.
Nathan in the backfield. On first down a pass play Woodley.
Outside right it's caught by Nathan. Stumbles down to the thirty yard line.
And he got seven yards would have had more but he slipped and had to dive to the thirty for those seven yards covered by Cliff Thrift.
They're using a triple wing formation on the left side Jack with a tight end a wing back and a flanker.
And then they got a split in on the right with a back in the backfield behind the right tackle.
And they're just one on one situation with a back and a linebacker and gosh it's just like stealing.
They're doing everything they desire. It's second down and three.
And a tough play for the Chargers to defense. Harris comes to the right.
And Harris to the other receiver. There goes Andre Franklin trying to get outside but cannot do it and he is tackled at the line of scrimmage.
In fact lost a half of yard half a yard and third and four comes up.
Under a Franklin lost one. We're down to a minute and a half left in the first quarter.
Bruce Laird was the tackler on that last play.
And Cephalo comes in along with Harris.
And Joel Rose, Tony Nathan and Tom Figueroa. Out over the ball Dwight Stephenson the center and in the shotgun.
Woodley back to throw throws and it's caught inside the 25 for a first down.
Insane the heavy traffic and the pass was caught by Tony Nathan.
He was hit by Lewis and Pryp the linebackers and Nathan is having a field day and that's another Miami first down.
And Woodley is right on target.
The ball at the San Diego 23 a first down. 40 seconds left in the first quarter. Woodley had a great game last week against New England.
And a very good game in the final game of the regular season against Baltimore.
Nathan is caught five for 39 yards. Russ three times 28 yards.
First down at the 23. Here running with the ball is Nathan to the right.
He drives inside the 20 down to the 18. He got five on what probably will be the final play of the first quarter.
The tackle by Lewis and Laird and the Chargers cannot stop the Dolphins.
They will not run another play here in the first quarter.
When we resume they will have the ball at the 18 of San Diego. It will be second down and six.
That's the end of the first quarter with a score of the Dolphins seven San Diego nothing.
It's 50 a part in Larry. Well I'm a today kind of guy. I guess. What say I spin a little wet?
That's a great idea. Tiffany? Yes Larry? It's your eye. Yes Tiffany? Yes Larry?
It's your stereo. Huh? Call me when you get a Quasar.

Quasar!
I was getting my hair cut and the stories going around the barbershop kept getting taller as my hair got shorter.
So I told a true story about a Honda Accord four door sedan.
Went like this. A fellow bought one and took it for a shakedown run.
Well the Honda Accord rode so smoothly that he relaxed in the plush seats at the cruise control that comes standard
and enjoyed the scenery quietly passing by.
When he returned he went to open the trunk and found his wallet lying on the Accord's rear bumper.
He put it there while loading the trunk and had forgotten it.
That should give you an idea about the smooth ride a Honda Accord four door sedan can deliver I said.
Well the barber shook his head. I swore the story was true because it is.
I got up to pay for my haircut and I found I had misplaced my wallet. Again.
We make it feel right.
Miami Dolphins have already kept the ball for four and a half minutes. They lead 7 to nothing.
They have second and six at the San Diego 18 yard line.
The scoring in the first period of three yard pass and not more.
Following an interception by Gerald Small against Dan Fouts.
Let's pause five seconds for stations to identify themselves on the CDS Radio Network.
You're listening to WKSI El Dorado 44 degrees at 12 o'clock
We start the second quarter
And this will be the 11th play of this current drive
And David Woodley has a hot hand here at the outset seven and nine for 57 yards. He's hot and one touchdown
Mason in the backfield with Franklin from the 18. Here is a delay to Franklin sliding left yard big yard
Down to the 10, first down and goal to go
Inside the 10 yard line before Woodley Laws stopped
Andra Franklin and evidently
The offensive line of the Dolphins is kicking them out. They really are. They're doing a number on them
And that's worse being done. It's being won up front by the way the offensive line is handling
The line of scrimmage at this stage of the game against the San Diego Chargers
Right at the 10 yard line it is first and goal
And Miami is a personal team with a lot of weapons to get into the end zone. Franklin is the lone setback
Two tight ends and a wing formation. Woodley gives to Franklin more yards driving inside the 5 down to the 4
Forward progress to the 3 and it's second and goal from 3 and a half yards away
The grip and Jim Fox tackle him
But Franklin is tearing up the turf along with Tony Nathan for the Dolphins
Franklin ran to the San Diego 3
And the Dolphins leading 7 to nothing are about to make it 14
And they're dominating the game and keeping the offense to the San Diego Chargers on the bench
That's what it's all about and they're doing a great job. Looks like they could run something left here
Here sliding to the left side as Franklin turns it up and goes over for a touchdown
He drives the camper into the end zone
Clips the line back to hit him but couldn't stop him
And there's another touchdown from Miami. It's 13 to nothing
All of that after Tom Vigorito fielded a punt at his 5, returned it to the 12
The Dolphins then went roaring down the field, 89 yards, 13 plays
Chargers unable to stop them, 5 minutes and 56 seconds they held the ball
With Franklin getting the touchdown and Von Schaumann trying to make it 14 to nothing
Don Strock holding
The kick is
Good, it's 14 to nothing Miami. They're tough to beat in the orange ball
And the Chargers had better get started with the score 14 to nothing let us take time out

James Brooks will be the deepest for San Diego
They await the kickoff
We said it earlier, they prefer to be ahead
They don't go to pieces when they fall behind
But the way they've fallen behind has to be disturbing to the San Diego team
Has to be
Miami has made it look very easy
They've run the ball, they've thrown the ball, they've done everything
Everything they want to do offensively
And San Diego hasn't come close to stopping them so far
And we'll have to wait and see after this kickoff how Kellyn Winslow fares
Here's the kick, it's high and it's rather deep and it may go out of bounds
No, it bounces inside the 10 and San Diego is lucky to get it back
The ball comes loose out beyond the playing
Who has it?
Miami has it on the fumble kickoff
Hank Bauer and Brooks were waiting for the ball to go out of bounds
But it took a very fortunate bounce for Miami
And then when Bauer tried to pick it up, he was smacked
The ball squirted out to the 23 and Yuvy Von Schamann who kicked the ball recovered the fumble
It really popped right into his arms like somebody threw a pass
It was amazing
It hit the turf and there again instead of being satisfied
Of falling the ball, Jack, he tried to pick it up and run with it
Which was a bad mistake, you see it happen all the time
It happened there again and now Miami has another excellent opportunity on the plus 23
And a Miami player is being tended to
Stopping the clock with 13.22 left in the half
Miami has the ball at the San Diego 23
And with the score already 14 to nothing in favor of the Dolphins, let us take time out

Last year, the end of the first quarter in this playoff game between these same two teams
Was San Diego out in front 24 to nothing
And Miami came back and then San Diego eventually won it
They got the same formation where they throw the ball in the plant to the back or the guy on the outside
They're running outside from a some too, but the guy in the plant, they're running inside this time with a trap
Here's Nathan driving down inside the 20 yard line
And he gets yards to the 17 of San Diego
And Leroy Jones tackled him
And even when the Chargers get a shot at the ball carrier, they're tackling as atrocious
Yeah, they still continue to make yardage
They're running right through the tackles
Nathan ran for five yards
And he gives way now to Andra Franklin
12.50 left and a half, Miami leading 14 to nothing and on the drive again
The ball is at the 18 of San Diego
And here is a delay to Franklin, finds his way down to the 16
He got two yards and it'll be third and three, the tackle by Woody Lowe
And the defense of N. Keith Ferguson, and that time the tackling was good
Franklin ran to the 16
Third down and three
Well, there's been an interception against San Diego, they've been sacked, they've fumbled a kickoff
12.10 left and a half, Figueroa is in the backfield with Nathan now
They like to throw the ball to Figueroa who's on a wing
Boy, there's a lot of room on that right side
Out of the shotgun, the pass to the right side, it's caught
It's caught for a first down to the 12 yard line by Figueroa, made a fine catch, got his feet in on a perfect throw by Woodley
By playing baseball, I'm playing catch out there, Jack, they haven't stopped that play yet
Back in the flat, the receiver goes downfield, he's just licking the linebacker
Going to the outside, the ball was thrown perfectly for another first down
And Woodley is throwing the ball with a great deal of authority
I don't know how they criticize the kid, he's done a great job for them all year long
And he keeps hearing things about the fact that they'd be an excellent team if they had a good quarterback
I think this kid's one of the fine quarterbacks in the league, young quarterback
First down at the 12 yard line of the Chargers
Tony and Nathan, a bootleg play and here's the quarterback running inside the 10 and out of bounds
Just outside the 6, he got about five
On a bootleg, David Lewis chased him out and running with the ball is not unusual for Woodley
During the regular season, he ran 36 times and averaged almost 6 yards to carry
Time of possession is really being dominated now by the Dolphins who have the ball at the Chargers 6
Second down and five, actually four, second down and four
Four of the Dolphins, they're leading 14 to nothing and they're on the move
Franklin is back in there along with Woodley Bennett
Franklin drives to him out the 3 yard line
He may have a first and goal
They mark it at the 3 and that's going to be short of a first down by about a half a yard
Gary Johnson was the tackler, third and short coming up for the Dolphins
This time it was Bennett leading the blocking for Franklin
I can't get over what a great job that offensive line is doing, they're really blowing them off the line of scrimmage, Jack
Third down and one, 11-15 left in the half
Bennett and Franklin in the backfield
Here goes Franklin and he drives for a first and goal about a yard and a half away from the goal line
Woodley Woodrowman back along with Gary Johnson
It's going to be first and goal for Miami from a yard and a half away
They have marked the ball down at the 1
All of this after the fumbled kickoff by the Chargers
You talk about the offensive scoring machine on the field, it's the Dolphins, it's not San Diego
10-45 left in the half, first and goal from the 1
How are you going to stop Franklin? The only thing that could stop him would be a fumble
Something right
Woodley is under center and on a sneak, he lunges to the goal line and did not get in and a flag goes down
A flag goes down as Woodley tried to sneak it into the end zone
And we have the call coming up, procedure against Miami
That will make it first and goal from the 6
And in penalties that's their first of the game
All they have to do again, Jack, is run the play with the back of the flat
Outside receiver, inside, they haven't stopped that yet if they decide they want to throw the football
We have 10-33 left in the half
And the ball is at the 6, first and goal, Miami
Hardy is on a wing and Tony Nathan is in the backfield
Woodley the quarterback, back to throw, Dumpson in the end zone, touchdown!
Touchdown to the big side end, Ronnie Lee
That's his first touchdown of the year
And it's 20 to nothing
Same formation, Jack, except this time instead of hitting the guy in the flat
They hit the tight end, it was wide open right in the middle which was very obvious
Great read on the part of the young quarterback, David Woodley
Makes it 20 to nothing with 10-29 remaining in the half
So they turn an interception into a touchdown and they turn the fumble on a kickoff also into a touchdown
And the extra point drive by Von Schaumann
He recovered the fumble that led to the TD
Strzok gets the ball down and it is 21 to nothing
If Miami wins, the Jets will come here
If San Diego wins, the Jets will go there
10-29 left in the half, 21 to nothing Miami, we'll be back in just a moment
Later today on CBS Radio at 345 Eastern Time, Green Bay at Dallas
From Texas Stadium, Lindsey Nelson and Jim Kelly
James Brooks awaits the kick
Von Schaumann boots it
It'll be returned by Brooks from the 7 to the 10 to the 15 to the 20 to the 25
Flags down, fumble! Miami gets the ball!
Now we'll check the flag
Miami has the ball
And the James Brooks fumble and we'll check the flag
Rich Diana, a rookie from Yale, recovered the ball
Let's check the penalty
The penalty is going to be against
San Diego Is... I better wait, I better wait
It's against
The penalty is against San Diego
The penalty is declined, the ball belongs to Miami again
And where is the ball? It is put down at the San Diego 37
And their defensive unit has to come back out of the field
This is incredible, isn't it?
Coriel's got to be shell-shocked
Rich Diana, the rookie from Yale, recovered the ball
At the San Diego 37
We still have 10-17 left to play in the half
The score is 21-0 Miami
And that's the third turnover by the Chargers
And on each one Miami is stuck into them
The offensive unit of the Dolphins has got to be getting pooped
This is really a surprise
Tony Nathan is the setback
David Woodley under center, Nathan straight ahead
Three yards to the 34
Back up by Keith Ferguson
Personal foul against San Diego
And a late flag was thrown
Nathan ran to the 34 and the referee runs to the 20
The call is against Bruce Laird and it takes the ball to the Charger 30
Unnecessary work with him for 30 defense, first down
And Miami is in a spot to make it 28-0
The call is against Bruce Laird and it takes the ball to the Charger 30
10-10 left in the half
First and 10 at the 20
Miami has run 30 plays, second and third
And Miami is in a spot to make it 28-0
10-10 left in the half
First and 10 at the 20
Miami has run 30 plays, San Diego only 10
On first down, here's Tony Nathan
Sailing down to the 17, he got three yards
There was good penetration by the blitzing linebacker at that time
But Nathan eluded the first tackler and was finally stopped by Bruce Laird at the 17
The ball is at the San Diego 17
Already close enough for a field goal try, but the Dolphins haven't been stopped
So they're thinking touchdown and it's second down and seventh
David Woodley gives to Nathan running right, there's room, he gets a block
Puts between tacklers, drives inside the 10
First and goal, Miami
Jeff Paves with a big block that's strung him loose
He's playing where Ed Newman had been playing
Newman is out for the year
I tell you, I guess right that time the defense was rotated to the other side
They had a lot of room to run and they took advantage of it
They did a good job of blocking Lewis
Lewis came off the block and almost got a piece of the tackle
But not until after, Nathan made the necessary yardage for the first down
Franklin comes out, it is first and goal at the nine yard line of San Diego
They are just killing the Chargers here as the turnovers have killed them
In the backfield it's Eddie Hill
And on first down a pass play
And Woodley is on the run for his life and he's sacked back at the 25 yard line
David Woodley is sacked back at the 25 as they finally got to him
Keith Ferguson was in there and then he got some help
And that slows down the Miami Dynamite offense
A loss all the way back to the 25
Well you talk about field position, Miami has headed on the plus 27, plus 23, plus 37
Well, when you're playing on a short field like that and the other team has to play on a long one, it's tough
Block running, 8.50 left in the first half, second and goal from the 25
A pass play by Woodley, he throws and it is!
A run at the ten yard line!
Incredibly by Jimmy Stapelo, despite heavy coverage from Williams and Laird
And it'll be third and goal from the nine again
Well he made a sensational catch
And we saw him make that same kind of a play against Buffalo the last time we saw them play right here in the Orange Bowl
8.41 left in the half, the score here is Miami 21, San Diego nothing
It's third and goal from the nine, the original line of scrimmage
Before the sack, on third down Miami has made a first down four times in five tries
Woodley is under center
And he's back to throw, he rolls right, he comes back into the pocket, throws, it's caught by Nathan
And he's tackled at the seven and it's time for Miami to try a field goal
Woodley Low tackled Nathan at the seven yard line
Well they couldn't get the touchdown that time
It's 21 to nothing with 8.18 left in the half
The Miami offensive unit is applauded by the crowd of 75,000 on a sunny day in the Orange Bowl
And Ubi Von Scharman is in
He kicked
15 out of 20
During the regular season, Strach will roll the ball, a 25 yard try
And give three more points to Miami
They've taken a bad edge off each of the turnovers by San Diego
And we have 7.45 left in the half
A 25 yard field goal by Ubi Von Scharman makes the score 24 to nothing and let us take time out

Miami has had the ball 12 minutes longer than San Diego has had it
1708 to 507
Kicking off from our right to our left is Von Scharman
James Brooks is deep
And the kick is high and off to the right side and Brooks takes it on the 11th
To the 15, to the 20 yard line, stumbles, comes out to the 25, to the 30
Breaks another tackle and comes out to about the 33 of San Diego
But at least they held the ball that time
But they've got a long way to go and they're 24 points behind
Dan Sheplin with the backer for Miami
And this Miami defense should be inspired and well rested, eh?
They surely should be
They've done exactly what they wanted to do to keep the San Diego offense on the bench
And that's where they've spent most of the afternoon so far
Muncie is in the backfield with Bouts, Bouts to Muncie, straight up the middle, big yards across the 40
Out to the 41 yard line, he got 9 yards
Muncie carries for 9
And what San Diego wants to do here is get a touchdown before the halftime
And then they will be in the game, eh?
Yeah, no question about that, but they just can't lose their cool
They just have to be patient and do what they thought they could do coming into the ballgame
They can just get 7 at a time
Second down and 1
Here is Bouts passing, looking, throwing, short drop
Drop by the tight end, Eric Sheavers
And it'll be third down and 1
Kellen Winslow is injured today
He's in the lineup, but he is hurting with a bad foot
And it's third down and 1
Sheavers tried to run with the ball before he had it
And now San Diego has to get this first down
And it's third and 1 from their 41
Winslow in motion, a toss to Muncie
Muncie's in trouble, but he turns it up and just does get the first down
And a flag is down
A flag is down as Muncie went wide
And here's a penalty coming up against San Diego
They're doing everything wrong
Now Baumauer was the tackler on the play
That stops the clock with 6.44 left in the half
They're going to measure to see if they had a first down
And then Miami may decline the penalty
The ball is at the San Diego 42
I think they made the first down, Jack
The Muncie really did a good job of getting extra effort
And getting the necessary yards for the first down
I'll be surprised they don't, but maybe they didn't
I don't know, I thought they did
They stretch the chains
And it would have been a first down
But now we'll deal with the flag
The referee, Jerry Markbride, is going to mark off a penalty against San Diego
All the way back to the San Diego 31
Here is a penalty against San Diego
Putting the ball at the 31 yard line, making it 3rd and 11
Now the thing you have to be careful of, Jack, is you don't make another mistake
And give another opportunity with good field position
Bounce likely to throw, Winslow is to the right side
Back to throw his bounce, 4-man rush
He throws out the flag, caught by Muncie, nothing doing
Rohn takes him down, well before he got the first down
And it's 4th down, and time for San Diego to punt
Ernie Rohn, chase the receiver, out of bounds
That was a strange throw, wasn't it, trying to get 11 yards?
Well, he was harassed, he had to get rid of the football
I'm surprised he threw it as well as he did to Muncie
He had pressure right in his face and had to get rid of the ball quickly
6.36 left and a half, so ample time for Miami with Tom Vigorito back
To take the punt and do some more damage
Unless San Diego tries some trickery here with the ball at their 36
They probably won't, the punter is Maury Buford
He's kicking for the second time, takes the snap and kicks it
Hangs it high, and there will be good coverage on Vigorito
He's driven back to the 15, goes back to the 13, back to the 10
And he is hit at the 14 and brought down there
Tom Vigorito returned the punt to the Miami 13 yard line
And Woody Lowe made the tackle
We have 6.22 left and a half, the Dolphins had the ball
They lead 24 to nothing, and we'll be back in just a moment

Listening on Armed Forces Radio
Hank Strand and Jack Buck with you from the Orange Bowl in Miami
6.22 left and a half, Dolphins 24, San Diego nothing
Dolphins have the ball at their own 14-yard line first down
Next Saturday and Sunday, the 22nd and 23rd
The NFL Conference Championship game and the AFC Conference Championship game
Don't miss them, there's something special next weekend
And later today at 3.45 Eastern Time, Green Bay and Dallas
You'll hear it on CBS Radio
First down Miami
And here is a handoff to Nathan
Nathan comes across out to the 20-yard line
Kind of looked like there was a false start
There is a flag thrown
Woodley is 11 out of 13, 85 yards, two touchdowns
And no turnovers by Miami in this game
Three by San Diego
This penalty will be marked off against the Dolphins
And it's their second, which they have incurred, back to their nine-yard line
Talking about penalties, Jack
The Dolphins come into the game with 30 to 4 penalties for the entire season
Charges were 64, I think, in large
The Miami Dolphins probably have half as many penalties as most teams in the league at this stage of the season
Total offense in this game, Miami 192 yards, San Diego 50 yards
And San Diego has only snapped the ball 13 times so far, Jack
First and 15 at their nine
Here is a delay to Franklin
Franklin is hit at the line of scrimmage and dives out to the 10, maybe the 11-yard line
Second down coming up and six minutes coming up
Tackled by Keith Ferguson
San Diego's got to come out of this series with good field position
And come out of it with a touchdown or some points, Jack, to get back into this game
Well, the last time they had the ball, the penalties slowed them down and they had to punt
Now from the 11-yard line, second down and 13 for the home team
On second down, Woodland or Franklin in a fumble
And it is recovered inside the 10 by Miami
Miami, I think they got it back
Miami got it back and it's stirred down and San Diego missed their biggest opportunity of the day
Yeah, that was their opportunity to make something happen and get some points on the board quickly
But they blew it
Miami recovered
One of the big linemen tried to pick it up and run with it
They all do the same thing, they tried
Gary Johnson should have been satisfied to flop on the ball and take it on the seven
Instead he tried to pick it up and run with it and be a hero and Miami still has possession
It is third down and 16 at the Miami 8-yard line
Woodley in the shotgun, hands it off on the running plate and Nathan
Nathan is bumped outside and taken down at the 12 and it's time for the Dolphins to punt
Punt coming up
We'll be down to about the 425 mark when they finally kick it away
And Johnson of the Chargers, the defensive lineman
Just fallen on the ball, it would have been first and goal for San Diego
On the seven
Now here's a punt by Tom Oroz and this is his second of the day
James Brooks inside his 45
Line drive kick and it bounces at midfield, Brooks takes it on the 47
Returns to the 45 and the Chargers will go from the Miami 43 yard line
Now here's a late flag going down
A late flag was thrown and the kick return took it down to the Miami 43
Looks like it's against Miami
Personal foul, face mask against Miami, that will help the Chargers
Drops the clock with 4.07 left and a half
And this is a major face mask penalty and they put it at the 28
San Diego is at the 28
First down and a time out has been called
We have 4.07 left in the half

Trailing 24 to nothing
San Diego's Bouts is going to pass
Look, San Croes and in the end zone, incomplete
Incomplete
He tried to get it to West Cammer and there was pretty tough coverage
The defendant's going to hurt him a lot, Jack
Winslow, I'm watching him, he's really hurting
He cannot run full speed, he's in the lineup
Doing the best he can but he's not able to perform like he normally does
And that's going to hurt San Diego
They talk about Dan Bouts being so intelligent and quarterback
And Kellan Winslow are the same
But the two of them operate on the same wavelength
And they are devastating
They can be devastating, the ball's at the 28th, second and tenth
Four minutes left in the half
Another pass played by Fouts
He flicks, he throws, and it's dropped
It's dropped by Muncie
At about the 25 yard line it'll be third and down
Bob Baumauer and A.J. Dewey
We're after the San Diego quarterback
And they can't get a rowing at all
I would think, Jack, you know, with the way Winslow is
They'd be much better off to go with three wide receivers instead of the tight end
Because they're not going to get much out of Winslow, he just can't make it
Winslow lines up on the right side
Third and ten for Bouts
Miami is flitching, the blitz is picked up
The pass is thrown, it's caught
Inside the five, touchdown
Touchdown for San Diego
Charlie Joyner caught it and went in
He took a hit at about the ten
And scored on that third down pass play
Big hole in the middle
And he had enough time to throw it, delivered it right on the money
But that's what San Diego can do to you if they have the
If they have possession of the football
Well, they're on the board and it is 24 to 6
And of course the extra point try is extremely important with that looser holding
And Bernerska kicking
He made 32 out of 34 this year
He gets it, oh good, he missed it
Bernerska missed it and that changed his things around considerably here
24 to 6 with 3.46 left and a half
Well that's unusual, he gets a lot of practice because of the numerous scores that San Diego gets
But this one was off to the right
And it's 24 to 6, brother you just can't take those extra points for granted can you?
No you really can't, and you can't try to steer them through there either
You can't try to aim them, you've got to pump them right through there like you do a long field goal
Well there are nine members of the AFC Pro Bowl squad here today
Wes Chandler, Doug Wilkerson, Kellan Winslow, Dan Fouts, Chuck Munson, Gary Johnson of San Diego
From Miami, Bob Kuchenberg in place of Ed Newman who had knee surgery
Andre Franklin and Bob Baumauer
There's something special and we'll have the Pro Bowl game on CBS Radio Sunday, February 6th from Honolulu, Hawaii
It's something special
Extra point try was missed and it's 24 to 6
And favor of Miami with 3.46 left in the half
Bolton Walker is back to get this kickoff from Benerska
We're looking forward to seeing our good friend down home in Hawaii
Here is the kick, it is high and deep and Walker takes it on the 7th
To the 10, 15, 20 yard line and did not get to the 25
He squirts loose for a moment but still didn't get to the 25 yard line
Tackle by Ray Preston
That trip to Honolulu will be very, very enjoyable
Before that we'll have two games next weekend as they determine the Super Bowl teams
We'll be at Washington and either at Miami or at San Diego
Can't get over that 90,000 crowd in Los Angeles yesterday for the Raider game
There it is, they sold 36,000 tickets I think at the gate, isn't that amazing?
It is, that's a fake crowd, the ball is out to the 24
And they can't afford any mistakes or the momentum will slip away
Here's Woodley passing, first down, thrown, caught out near the 30 yard line
That's where the play ends and some good yards
Not enough for a first down, Tony Nathan caught another
And a pick up of 7 yards
3.10 left in the half
It's been a long second quarter, Hank
They're spending a lot, Miami's using a triple wing formation, Jack, a tight end
A tight end on the outside and a flanker on the outside of him
And a split end on the other side and the back, in the backfield
And they get him rotated one way and they throw on the other side and they've done a good job with it
Hardy in motion and a toss to Nathan, Nathan coming outside, Hardy with a block first down
To the 40, out to the 43, when he saw that daylight he put it in overdrive
And Tony Nathan, boomed out to the 43 of San Diego before Johnson and Fox tackled in
Nathan is having an exemplary afternoon
He ran to the Miami 43
And now we have 2.20 left in the half
And the Dolphins are ready to go again
Woodley is under center, back to throw on first down
He airs it out long downfield, the man is there, Cephalo is at first and goal at the 4 yard line
Jimmy Cephalo, beat Andre Young and Woodley threw the ball about 60 yards in the air for a first and goal of 52 yard game
And he put a run on the money
He was throwing on first down, eh? Yep
Cephalo to the 4
And Cephalo really does not have great speed, he has terrific quickness
And fast hands, but he ran right down the sideline, the ball was right on top
159 left in the half with a score 24-6 in favor of Miami, let's take time out
Music
The San Diego Chargers are now in a position where they could quit
I'm not saying that they're going to hang, but they've been hit with everything and they could hold and just fly away
No they won't, they won't do that Jack, I guarantee they won't do that
The score is 24-6 in favor of Miami
And they have a first and goal at the 4 yard line with a big back like Andre Franklin in there
A 52 yard pass play to Jimmy Cephalo steps this one up
Bennett and Franklin are in the backfield
And three tight ends at the powerful formation
Something right possibly
Here is Bennett being hit at the line of scrimmage and driven back a yard
Tried a little misdirection play Hank and it didn't work
Yeah, they were leaning that side, it looked like they were going to run right and they came back to the other side and it didn't work
Bennett carried and lost 2 yards to the 6
That's what happens sometimes when you outsmart yourself, you try to be involved in strategy instead of just sticking it right in there with something that you know is going to work and pound the way at them and make something happen up front and go
A minute and a half left and a half in the clock running if and when Miami scores San Diego will have little or no time to do anything about the big deficit
Tony Nathan comes back into the lineup
As does Nat Moore, here is Woodley going to pass, looking, throwing, ends out and complete
He threw it into heavy coverage and the ball was batted away by Williams, Mike Williams on the corner
Batted it away from the intended receiver Marty the tight end
Third and goal from the 6
And if San Diego can cross Miami to settle for a field goal that would help
I can't understand why they're trying to be so fancy down here, they've done such a good job with Franklin just banging it in there
I don't know why they're trying to be doing some unusual things instead of doing what they've done real well
And they stop the clock with 1.12 left and a half with an end zone pass
Third down and goal from the 6 Woodley's in the shotgun, the double wing formation, Vigorito is into the game
And he takes a snap and throws and it's dropped to the 5 yard line by Vigorito
They're hoping he can catch it and run in and complete the field goal unit on the team
Boy they tied the bullet there, talking about San Diego, they're lucky if they just get out of here with 3
That would make the score 27 to 6 and put them 21 points behind
This will be a field goal drive by Von Schaumann, he kicked one earlier of 25 yards
San Diego have only a minute and 9 to do something about the score, this will be a 24 yard drive
Strach is the holder, gets it down and the kick is up and 3 more for Miami
A 24 yard field goal makes the score 27 to 6 in favor of the Dolphins
And I think it was pertinent that they were throwing the ball on first down despite their lead earlier of 24 to 6
They didn't sit on it, no they didn't and of course the big play was the beautiful strike by Woodley
To Cephalo to put the ball down there in good scoring position
105 left and a half with a score 27 to 6 in favor of Miami, let's take time out

As Hank Strand's Kansas City team was in that first Super Bowl game against Green Bay
Here's a kickoff to Brooks to the 14 to the 20 and a wallop before he gets to the 25
He's tackled at the 24 by Jim Jensen who is a quarterback and a special teams player
102 remaining in the half and the ball is the San Diego 24
They could even score on this position, Hank
They could, they got a lot of time, they got three timeouts left
And if Miami decides to play it soft and give them the short stuff, they could just go right down the field and do some business
Miami shows a freeman front
The double on the outside receiver, something in the middle should be there
Here's a delay to Muncie, he comes outside to the 30, runs by people and gets the first down out to the 40 yard line
A run by Muncie to the 40 and timeout with 53 seconds left in the half
Tackled by Blackwood and Rhone, mild Blackwood that is
Two timeouts left for the Chargers
A gain of 16 yards

Here comes your way, Super Bowl weekend, Saturday, January 29th and Sunday the 30th
Something special from CBS Radio
Well, what do you think of that game coming up, Hank, Green Bay or Dallas?
I think a lot of people think that Dallas is going to win the game, Jack
But I really think that Green Bay is capable of doing an excellent job
And I think it's going to be a terrific game, who's going to win, how do you know, the way things happen
But I think it's going to be a great game
As we're down here coming into this game, they were talking about the maturing of David Woodlake
And he certainly has enhanced his image with a 13 out of 17 performance to this point
144 yards and two touchdowns and I thought it was significant that when they were ahead 24 to 6
Miami was throwing the ball on first down
Well, they're calling a play from the sideline and they evidently felt they could do something long
And they did exactly that with Cepolo and that kind of surprised us in him, Dave
Because again, he doesn't have that great speed
First down San Diego at their own 40
Bounce under center, back to throw, three man rush
Steps up and throws to the sideline and it is incomplete and the play goes down
They try to get the ball out to the wide receiver, Dwight Scales
Pass interference, good call
Pass interference against Miami, eh?
Yes, against Miami it was a good call
He hit it before he had a chance to make the catch when the ball was in the air
Good call on the part of the official
Glenn Blackwood was the offender
And the ball is at the Miami 40
Another first down, that stopped the clock with 46 seconds left to the hat
Chargers trying to come back
Three man rush, pass play foul, steps up and jumps short
Caught by Winslow
And then it is ruled, incomplete at the 30 yard line
He caught it, bobbled it
And then the Miami player picked it up and it hit the ground
And it's ruled incomplete
Incomplete
Winslow caught it, it was hit
Now there goes a flag
The flag was just now thrown and perhaps something coming up against Miami
Bounced through the ball, Winslow caught it, was hit, dropped it
Before it hit the ground it was touched by a Miami player and then he dropped it
It was ruled incomplete
Incomplete
And then a late flag was thrown and are they going to deal with that now?
The headlinesman has a complaint to register with the referee
And they're going to mark off unsportsmanlike conduct against Miami
They don't need that do they?
No they don't
I thought Jim Poole, the back judge, number 92, made a good call on the pass interference just a minute ago Jack
And also on the pumble, I had the glasses on at Hank and he didn't catch the ball, neither one of them had the ball
No you're right
Number 58, defense
Here is a call against Kim Boekeper of Miami and they put the ball down at the Miami 25
And we still have 39 seconds left in the half
Here's a delay to Muncie
And Muncie is taken down at the 23
Well with only a three man rush
It was tough with that draw play to work and the Chargers called time out
Unusual call Hank for such a throwing team as the Chargers
They just made a guess, you know, with a three man line the linebackers are dropping off so fast
You got some big seams in there
And you figure if you might catch them, where the linebackers are very deep
But you got a good chance to make a big play with the draw play
They guessed wrong and didn't get as much as they thought they might
Now we have only 33 seconds left in the half and the Chargers have one time out remaining
The score is the Dolphins 27, the Chargers 6
And they have second down and eight
It's a bright sunny day here, few clouds in the sky, temperature 63 degrees
It was expected to rise to the 70 mark
A little cooler than most people enjoy it down here in the Miami area
But better than it is in a lot of parts of the country
It was surprisingly nice in Washington though yesterday, wasn't it?
We thought we were going to get a lot of snow, keeping out of it in good shape
And Washington won that game
They'll host the winner of the Green Bay Dallas game next Saturday
12.15 Eastern time is broadcast time next Saturday, we'll have the story for you
And Hank and I will either come back here to Miami or go to San Diego
I take a second and eight, Jack, I take three pops into that end zone
Try to get a big play, a touchdown or else maybe a pass interference
And preferably to the corners and maybe something down the middle
Because they're double covering the outside people
The middle could be open or the corners could be open on outside moves
On this drive Muncie ran to the 40, to San Diego 40
And interference called it the Miami 40
Then the young sportsman like Conda called to the 25, now it's at the 23
The 25 of the 54 yards in this drive has been on penalty
Bounce back looking for the big play, sets up and throws
Down into the end zone and it is caught inside the 5
First and goal at the one yard line, Hank you were looking for it and there it was
And Winslow who caught it comes away limping even more heavily
By surprising, you know, they had him covered pretty well
But that was a place to throw the ball to take a chance
He ran inside and then ran to the outside and a good leaping catch by Chandler
And Winslow came down to try to help block Chandler into the end zone
But the players stopped at the one first and goal
Now what do you do with only one time out remaining?
The ball at the one
They had a sweep outside
Here is Muncie, touchdown, a flag is down
Muncie went into the end zone but a flag came down
And a call, a touchdown stands, the penalty is against Miami
With 22 seconds left in the half
The Chargers have given indications they're going to make a game out of it
It is 27 to 12
And the one yard run by Chuck Muncie
Good blocking in the right side by Masick the center and Ed White the right guard
Russ Washington the all-pro right tackle
So the Chargers are in the game
Now the extra point try
Vernerschke missed one earlier
And here's the kick, it is good and that makes it 27 to 13
So there are only two touchdowns and two extra points behind
And it's not going to be the blowout that it appeared it might be
No way, now if they have possession of the ball Jack this team has got a lot of pride, a lot of honor
And they're going to come back and fight you and they know, they just haven't had a chance to do much
They haven't had the ball very much and they haven't had very good field position
But they're going to hang in there and tough, this is going to be a good game before it's over with
And once more we have seen the three man rush hurt the defensive unit
I know it's good to have all that deep coverage back there but you still have to arrest that passer somewhat
You're right, you have to make a decision, you're going to drop back eight and rush three
That's what they elected to do and really the defensive back was right there
Except the Chandler who is a great leaper, they threw the ball right at the perfect place
Right on the outside and they make him up with a big play
Here's the kickoff by Vernerschke with only 22 seconds remaining in the half
I bet if you asked the quarterback if he would prefer the three man rush
The answer would be yes, talking about the offensive quarterback
Here's the kickoff being taken inside the five and being returned by Fulton Walker
And he goes down at the 14 yard line
Walker was just happy to fall down inside the 15 at the 14 with 17 seconds left
And Hank's power covering
Crazy game last year, I think the Chargers when they hit 24 to nothing had to fight for their life, right?
At the end of the first quarter
Yeah and now just the reverse was true and now Sandia is coming back like gangbusters
But these are two very good football teams, well drilled, well coached, good personnel
And it's going to be a very exciting second half
And an interference call and an unsportsmanlike conduct call has hurt Miami in the second quarter
Now let's see if they just run the clock out
That's all they're going to do, Woodley takes the snap and that will be our halftime score
27 to 13
The Miami fans have got to enjoy it but they also have to be a bit apprehensive about the momentum generated by the Chargers late in the second quarter
Let's pause five seconds for stations to identify themselves on the CBS Radio Network
It's one o'clock with 42 degrees at WKSI El Dorado
Well the gun is sounded ending the first half here in the Orange Bowl with a score of the Dolphins 27 the Chargers 13
Art in riches
And San Diego will receive the second half kickoff
Miami and Von Schaumann will be kicking off from our right to our left
And if San Diego burns up the territory here in their first possession we'll have some fireworks here in late January
And Miami has to really do a good job of coverage on this kickoff
James Brooks is back to get it, he's averaged 22 plus for kickoff return
And we wait for the referee to give us the go ahead
Meanwhile later today at 3.45 Eastern Time it'll be Green Bay at Dallas, Texas Stadium, CBS Radio, Lindsay Nelson and Jim Kelly
Then next weekend the NFC Championship game at Washington against either Dallas or Green Bay at 12.15 Eastern Time
And at 4.45 Eastern Time, New York at either Miami or San Diego, the kick's a short one taken by one of the up and in
And the return is across the 35 out near the 40 yard line
Eric Siebers took it
His left foot slipped in the process of kicking the ball and that's why he kicked the bad one
And Eric Siebers, the tight end, caught the ball and returned it to the 37 of San Diego
So here we go at the start of this second half
We'll mention again that Kevin Winslow is not full speed, he is playing and he's on the left wing at the moment
And in motion, back to throw his spouts on first down, swings it out to Muncie, a one man screen
He runs by Rhone, he runs down the sideline into Miami territory and not bumped out until he got to the 45
Lyle Blackwood bumped him out
That's an option, they run over, they're either going to throw the ball to the flank or down field or to the back in the play
Depending on how the linebacker covers, the linebacker took a deep drop, they threw the ball to Muncie and of course Muncie on a one on one
And that open area is ready to murder
He ran right by Ernest Rhone, the inside linebacker, bounced off him
And it's a first down at the Miami 45 for the Chargers
Doug Wilkins at 63, really made a great block
Here's Muncie running right, needing some blocks, Gordon gets him, stops him, takes him down and he loses the yard on the play
Larry Gordon came from the other side of the field to corral Chuck Muncie
A counter play, a counter play is tough from just one back in the backfield, you're not going to pull anybody
They try to slow him down, get him moving one way and then go back the other
No success on the play, the defense did a good job of responding and as you mentioned
Gordon came all the way over from the back side to make the back
Second down and 11 as a result, Chandler comes to the right
Winslow is to the right, Joyner to the left
Siebers, the tight end is in motion, a pass play, Fout steps up and throws, incomplete
Trying to get it to Joyner, he was covered by Gerald Small, incomplete, third and 11
Third down and 11, the winner of this one stays alive and will play the Jets
And the loser is eliminated, they'll take their $16,000 and go home
Meanwhile the winner is assured of at least $18,000 more, for a man
Chandler left, Joyner left, White scales, the added wide receiver
Third down and Fout sets up to throw, has time, throws left sideline and incomplete
And Emphal sort of walked it with the wind, I don't know whether he's throwing it away or the wind just drifted it out of bounds
It looks like he might be throwing it away and I don't know why, in that situation with third and long he's throwing it away
You think he's hanging there and trying to hit somebody that was open on the play, the receiver that time was covered very well
And it's punting time and Tom Bigarito goes back to await the kick from Buford
Buford punted twice, a 49 yard average in the first half, so despite the good kickoff return
And the big play by Muncie on the first play from Scrimmage, the Dolphins have stopped the Chargers
Now can the Chargers stop the Dolphins, that's the question of the afternoon, the kick by Buford is high
Inside the 10 they let it bounce and it goes into the end zone and it will come out to the 20 yard line
Miami will take over for the first time in the second half at their own 20 with 13.43 left in the third quarter
With the score Miami 27, San Diego 13, let's take time out

Miami Dolphins fans are trying to generate a little excitement here for their offensive unit David Woodley and company
Woodley in the first half with 13 out of 17, no turnovers by Miami in the first 30 minutes
And they can't sit on it and leave, they have to stay on the attack and continue to make things happen and do what they did well in the first half
Here is a give to Andra Franklin finding big running room up the middle and across the 30 for a first down
To the 31 yard line, 11 yard run by Franklin in the offensive line of the Dolphins, Stephenson, Caves, Kuchenberg, Giesler and Lexo continues to dominate
First down for Miami, Dario Harris to the right and Nett Moore to the left and on first down Woodley is going to throw and he throws it right into the hands of Fox
Fox for San Diego returns it inside the 40 yard line as Woodley showed a great deal of indecision and threw it right to Tim Fox who intercepted four during the season
He threw a bad pass, he threw it falling away, had no step and throw movement at all, threw it way over the top and that's exactly what San Diego needs
They need good field position like Miami got in the first half, now they have it, the important thing however is to take advantage of it
They're really two plays, just two plays away from getting back right in this football game
Now the first turnover by Miami, Tim Fox came away with the ball and returned it to the Dolphins 37
And on first down, Fouts is going to pass, what's new, here's the throw, short caught by Sebers to tie it in, pummel the ball, the pass is ruled incomplete
Sebers was really belted by Glenn Blackwood and what would have been a gain of about four or five yards becomes an incomplete pass
He was really pumped, he got a shot, he really did, better him than me, I always say, that's right
It stops the clock with 12.50 left in this third quarter, no scoring, no score, Miami leading 27-13, second and ten, here's Fouts on a pitch to Muncie running right
And Rohn meets him, gets some help, tackles him inside the 35, Kalowski the extra back was also there along with Lyle Blackwood
And Muncie picked up four yards, third and six, Fouts is only six out of 15, the big figure there is not the six, it's the 15
Usually you will have thrown the ball about 30 times at this point in the game, yeah but it's hard to throw when you're sitting on a bench
Third down and six, at the 33 yard line of Miami, Fouts being rushed and being sacked back beyond the 40 yard line
Fouts is sacked back at the 42 yard line on third down, they just came pouring in led by Doug Fetters and A.J. Dewey
They got to what I mentioned earlier, you have to put middle pressure on Fouts, outside pressure doesn't bother him very much
But they got the good inside pressure on them that time, lifting the linebacker, A.J. Dewey, and they throw him for a loss
So after intercepting the ball, the Chargers can get nothing done, and in to punt is Maury Buford
He's a rookie out of Texas Tech, Tom Ziggurito is back to get it, and Buford will aim for the sideline
The second time that Fouts has been sacked in the game, Buford takes the snap, there's no pressure and he hangs it straight up in the air
And a fair catch is called for and taken at about the 19 yard line
And Miami will go from there, Kozlowski caught it, it was only a 23 yard punt
And now the Dolphin offense comes back out of the field, the score remains 27-13 San Diego
It really hurts when you have good field position plus 37 and come away with nothing
We'll be back in just a moment

The ball has been marked at the Miami 20s, the Dolphins turned it over on an interception, their first turnover of the day just a moment ago, but they have it right back
Two minutes later, they got it right back again
Almost a minute and a half later, they got it right back
11.39 left in the third quarter
Harris and Sepulow come to the left
They haven't thrown the ball to D'Oreal Harris all day, Sepulow in motion
Here's a gift to Andra Franklin, and he gets good yards
He is out across the 27, and a very good tackle was made by Woody Lowe
And Franklin was just set to put it into gear when Woody Lowe dropped it, but he gained seven
Anytime you control first down like Miami has done it, especially with the run, you wind up with second and three, second and two, second and four
Well, you're way ahead of the defense
Second and three right now
Tony Nathan is in the backfield with Franklin
The ball at the Miami 36, Franklin trying to find running room up the middle, fails to get the first down, but it'll be third and short for Miami
Swarmed by Gary Johnson and Keith Ferguson
Keltcher is not in the game now either, Jack. I don't know whether he's injured or what's wrong, but he is not in the game
Gary Johnson is playing the tackle position 79
It is third down and one
In there is Wilbur Young, Leroy Jones, Gary Johnson, and Keith Ferguson in the four-man front that San Diego uses
Yeah, Wilbur Young is playing for Keltcher
Third down in the yard, eye formation
Here is Franklin and he hurdles out near the 30-yard line
And let's see where they mark the ball down
Great play, great play by Wilbur Young, number 99, playing the left tackle position
He didn't make the first down on that third down run, did not make it
Only because of the great play by Wilbur Young, and we drafted Wilbur, you know, number two, from William Penn College years ago when I was at Kansas City
They're going to measure, it'll come up short
And then Miami, if they don't want to do anything drastic, will punt the ball with 10-12 left in the third quarter
It was really not only good penetration, a good tackle, but a strong tackle by Young, Wilbur Young
And he pulled Franklin to the turf
It's fourth down and Tom Oroz is in the game to kick
O-R-O-S-Z out of Ohio State
Back to get it is James Brooks
Running back from Auburn, standing at his 30-yard line
Score at the half was 27-13, Miami, and it's still a 14-point dolphin lead
We wait for the snap
By Bob Cuchenberg
And he talked about Oroz, he was a punt, pass, and kick champion when he was 10
He goes with the ball and he'll get the first down across the 35-to-40-yard line
And the Miami fence and the Miami crowd goes wild
San Diego did not cover it at all
And Bob Dregger tackled him into Miami 40
He took one look and took off
To say this, Hank, it was a really decisive
Yes, it was
And he was an all-state quarterback in high school, so he's a good athlete
And he ran to the Miami 40-yard line and then held the ball when he was hit
So the Dolphins hang onto the pigskin
And of course that's important when you're playing San Diego
9-10 left in the third quarter
And on first down, a pass play by Woodley
Oroz and it is caught
It is caught at the 45-yard line of San Diego by Duriel Harris
His first of the day and a great throw by Woodley
Boy, he's got a great gun and when he can step and throw, he puts it right on the money
And that time they licked Mike Williams, the right cornerback
That run was really something
Out of confirmation
San Diego didn't cover it at all, they all peeled back
They all peeled back and you know, Miami has done the same thing
San Diego could do the same thing against Miami, could have, I don't know what they'll do now
But they could have, because San Diego has been doing, Miami has been doing the same thing
From the 45ers, a gift to Franklin, inside, outside, and he gets some yards
And he unloads on the tackler down at the 40-yard line
He got 6 to the 39 and Mike Williams stopped him
6-yard run by Franklin
He paid, Mike Williams really paid for that stop
He really got a shot high on the numbers
It could be that that run out of confirmation will change this entire game around
It looks like it's giving them the spark that they seemingly lost, Jack
I'm talking about Miami, they seemed like they went down a little flat
Now they're starting to come back again after that punt run by Oro's
Franklin is rushed for 64 yards on 16 carries
Nathan, 69 yards on 11 carries
So the two have been devastating
Second down and four, Hardy goes in motion, here is a toss to Nathan running right
He's going to throw the ball, he does!
It's caught inside the 30-yard line
First down at the 19, Hardy caught it
Running fast, the half-back pass from Nathan to the tight end, Hardy was then in motion
Hardy was anchored on the left side, went in motion on the right side, and threw the ball
Nathan threw the ball right to him in his zone
First down at the San Diego, 19-yard line
And if they go in and score, you'll look back at that run out of confirmation by Tom Oro's
The ball is at the San Diego, 19
Dolphins already leading by 14
Woodley to Nathan, Nathan up the middle, Nathan drives for 5 to the 14-yard line
And the offensive line of the Dolphins is crunching the defense of the visitors
Bergeson and Bruce Laird made the decal
Nathan for 5 yards
We have 7.45 left in the third quarter
Second and five, Miami, at the San Diego, 14, they're going from our right to our left
They have Nathan and Franklin in the backfield
Here's Franklin straight ahead and inside the 10
First and goal at the 7-yard line
Once again, the big hole up front, and evidently Jeff Caves who was filling in for Ed Newman must be doing a job
Yeah, he is, he's coming off in good shape and controlling the defensive tackle, getting them off the ball, getting a good push
They mark the ball down on the charger, 7
First and goal
7 minutes left in the third quarter, clock running
First and goal from the 7
Boy, look at that middle, that middle is really open as them
Out of the eye, a toss to the tailback, and Nathan fumbles the ball and San Diego recovers
A careless fumble by Tony Nathan, recovered by Woody Lowe, he was running the ball with one hand and for no reason he fumbled it at his 18-yard line
Boy, what a big break for San Diego
Woody Lowe dived on the ball at the 18, he didn't try to pick it up and run with it
That's what he had to do, and it was very intelligent on his part, he was satisfied, just let me have possession of the ball, he just fell on it and took possession
That changes it around
After the run out of confirmation, Miami marched all the way down and at a first and goal of the 7, Nathan tried to go outside left, running with the ball, carelessly in one hand and he dropped it
First down at the San Diego 17 for the Chargers, eye formation
There is Bounce rolling right on a busted play, he runs for about 2 yards
Bounce rolled out to hand the ball off and no one was there and Ernie Rowland tackled it
Had to be a mix up, it looked like he wanted to get the ball to Muncie, but there was a mix up in the exchange, it didn't look like Muncie knew he was supposed to carry the football
Capoletti had been in there, he goes out now, and Eric Sebers, the other tight end comes in
Winslow of the Chargers has not caught a pass all day
He has a bad foot, but they still have to pay attention to him
Here's the pass by Bounce, long over the middle, Joyner can't get it broken up and complete, not around the 45
Good defensive play by the quarterback, John McNeil
Third and eighth
5-5-7 left in the third quarter
That's what happens when you throw the ball high on that kind of a pattern, Jack had been thrown low at the numbers, he could have made that kind of a play without passing the first
Third down and eighth coming up for the Chargers from their own 20
After the fumble by Nathan, the second turnover
By Miami, the crowd roaring, Bounce needs eight yards, sets to throw, he throws, caught at the 35, first down
Going up to get it was Kellen Winslow, injury and all, and what a beautiful pass by Bounce over the linebacker
And what a big catch, what a big catch to keep the drive alive, they have good field position down about the 37
But a great play by Kellen Winslow, number 80, first catch of the day
5-1-2 left in the third quarter clock running, Miami leading 27-13
San Diego from their own 38
And a delay to Muncie outside and trying to turn the corner, got only a couple of yards to the 40 before he's driven out
And Glenn Blackwood really forced it well
Those defensive backs, Small, McNeil, Blackwood and Blackwood, both are good hitters, sure tacklers
If you catch a pass in front of them, they make you pay
5-16 left in the third quarter, pick up of two, second down and eighth from the 40 yard line, four fouls
Ordinarily a fellow like Winslow would be riddling the opposition, doesn't matter who they play, he's caught only one
Chandler to the right, going to the left
Winslow to the tight end, Siebers also in there, here's the pass by Fouts, dancing around and throws
Spot out at the 45 yard line by Siebers, bringing about another third down play, it'll be third and three
Third and three, 5-08 left in the third quarter
Bringing in Kozlowski, the fifth defensive back, Brzezinski goes out
The ball is at the San Diego 45, all of this after the fumble by Tony Nathan of Miami
Third and three, Chandler to the right, joiner to the left, Winslow on a wing
And the blitz, Fouts throws, it's dropped by Winslow at the 47
He would have had a first down, it was right in his belly and he dropped it
He tried to run, he thought he had the ball
He did, he did, it looked like it might have been just a little bit behind him a little bit, Jack, but he still should have made the catch
Talking about Winslow
The ball was on his left hip a little bit behind, he started upfield and he forgot the ball and as a result, the punter is in
Maury Buford and Tom Vigorito is back to get it, it's 15 and Vigorito could change it around
Watch Miami guys
Here's the running play and it is a first down
They snapped it to the fullback, Miami was waiting for it but only because of the good running by Capoletti is San Diego able to keep it
So both teams have run out of punter
Yeah, it's been there all afternoon for both teams and finally Miami did it and now San Diego comes back with it, another big play
Capoletti was hit short of a first down but he broke a tackle and went to midfield
Yeah, that was great running by Capoletti, terrific determination
425 left in the third quarter, San Diego is capitalized on two third down plays, here straight ahead is James Brooks, he gets only a couple to the 48th
This has been a scoreless third period
27-13 Miami on top, Doug Betters, Ernie Rowan with the tacklers and James Brooks and he can give an offense a lift with that lightning speed of his
They got a big strong offensive line, San Diego, Billy Shields, 284, Wilkinson 260, basic 260, White 279, Washington 295
Bounce back to throw again, likes to throw to Brooks, throws it to Brooks, Brooks inside the 45, Brooks down inside the 40, first down
First down San Diego on the pass play to James Brooks, the tackle by Larry Gordon, you can almost feel that one coming Hank
And that's the kind of play you like, it's a slight adjustment play Jack where you're looking at the quarterback and the receivers
You're checking the linebacker, see what kind of coverage he's involved with, throw deep down field or to the back
The great thing about Brooks, he makes you miss in the open field on a one on one
The ball is marked down at the Miami 36 of first down, Brooks stays in the lineup, Kinslow is the wingback
On first down the pass play, thrown and it is intercepted, back the other way comes Blackwood
He's near the 40 yard line, Glenn Blackwood intercepts, out and Miami steps that drive
Glenn Blackwood caught it
And the tackle is finally made at the Miami 38, so the Chargers can't keep it going
3-0-3 left in the third quarter, Miami takes over, they still have that 27-13 lead and we'll be back in a moment

Stricland's Western Ware is open Monday through Saturday from 9 to 5 and Thursdays until 8
We've just had the fourth Charger turnover of the day
Miami has given it away twice, Super Bowl Sunday is two weekends away, Sunday January 30th
and you'll hear it all on CBS radio sports, it's something special
On the return, on the interception by Glenn Blackwood, the younger of the two Blackwoods, both the safety men
a tackle by James Brooks and he might have saved big damage along the sideline at the Miami 38
He did, no question
Sun's still shining brightly here in Miami at the Orange Bowl, capacity crowd on hand
and the Dolphins go back to work, they were all the way down to the seven the last time
and then fumbled it away, only Nathan is in the backfield
Woodley sets up to throw, screens it out, Nathan catches the ball, gets beyond the 40, beyond the 45
and it's down at the 47, he fumbled but the play was whistled dead at the 47 and a gain of eight yards
They caught him in a blitz that time, caught him in a blitz and if there's any play that you like to run against a blitz
it's a screen pass, they guess right on the call offensively and pick up eight yards in the play makes a second and two
And rushing today, Miami has compiled 172 yards, we have two and a half left in the third quarter
Miami leads 27 to 13, they've been ahead throughout
and Nathan is the lone setback, too tight ends, Hardy is the wingback
The give is to Nathan and he gets a first down beyond midfield to the 48 of San Diego
Knocked down by Gary Johnson but when they need rushing yards they can get it today against the Chargers
The ball is at the San Diego, 48 in the first down
150 left in the third quarter
Miami has resurrected a formation they haven't used for a long time, Jack, a triple wing with one remaining back in the backfield
They used to use it a lot with Gracie and Zonkis
Andra Franklin is the running back now, here is a delay to Franklin and he gets a good block and cuts inside
Taves through the block and Franklin went inside the 45 yard line and picked up three
Bruce Lary came in the inside and made a good tackle, number 30
120 left in the third quarter clock running
Score remains 27-13, is it conceivable we have a scoreless third quarter with the Dolphins and the Chargers going at it
Now Tony Nathan and Tom Vigorito are the backs
Second down and seven
At the Charger, 44
Boy, look at her room on the right side
Here is Woodley looking right, sets up Burrows right to the sideline, it's there, it's caught
Inside the 30 yard line in the first down at the 26
Tom Vigorito caught it and a good throw by Woodley
He threw the ball like a frozen rope on the outside, Jack, and that's a sign of a great quarterback, a good arm
When you control the sideline pattern that far downfield, right on the money like he did
He saw what you saw, Hank, over there, what was it, one on one coverage?
One on one and the guy was back there about 14 yards and no chance whatsoever to make the play
As deep as he was playing, we're talking about Bruce Laird, number 30
And a first down at the Charger, 26, for Miami
Here comes Nathan running left, trying to turn the corner, cuts upfield, a flag goes down and so does Nathan at the 19
And we'll check the flag, gotta be a holding penalty
We'll wait and see, however
There was a pick up on the play of 7 yards but Miami is moving backwards
Last time they got down to the 7 and fumbled
Now they're down to the 26 and they get hit with a holding call
Holding, number 86, offense, first down
Finally the tight end was caught and it's second and 20, excuse me, first and 20
The ball is at the 36 of San Diego
41 seconds left in the third quarter, Dolphins leading 27-13
I see a draw here
First and long and a pass play by Woodley
And he throws to the sideline, it's caught for good yards
Tight end runs through Packers and then steps out of bounds
Down at the 27 and another flag goes down
A flag goes down along the sideline as Hardy was hit over there
Looks like it might be against San Diego this time
The pass play carried down to the 26
The original line of scrimmage and then a flag was thrown
Information is given to the referee
And we'll see here the personal foul against San Diego
A personal foul
So the pass and the penalty will really move it down the field
And it will be an automatic first down
With 32 seconds left in the third quarter
They're going to put the ball down at the 13-yard line
They put it at the 13 of San Diego
Personal foul, late hit out of bounds, number 57, defense, first down
Personal foul against Lyndon King, the line back around, a late hit
And a first down for the Dolphins at the 13-yard line
We've had a scoreless third quarter, we have 32 seconds remaining in the period
David Woodley has played all the way, he's under center
Nathan and Franklin in the backfield
The delay to Tony Nathan and he picks his way down to the 11 before he's driven back
And that will be the final play of the third quarter
A two-yard pick up by Nathan
And they'll go to the other end of the field
Miami leading, they want the clock to run down and it will
So we have a scoreless third quarter
And Miami maintains their advantage
27 to 13
There's the gun, the end of the third quarter, the score on Miami 27, the Chargers 13

And that's one reason why Hondas have traditionally retained a high resale value
Among the best in the industry
You only have to look at how the hood fits to understand that
Honda, we make it live, boy

For being on the job and working hard all day
So here to you, you know it isn't only what you say, it's what you do
For you, this bird for you, hey, this bird for you
And that was the Bush St. Louis
We start the fourth quarter, one of these teams will be eliminated from the Super Bowl tournament
At the conclusion of this game, Hank Stram and Jack Buck with you from the Orange Bowl
Miami has the ball at the San Diego 11 following a scoreless third period
Miami has second and eight at that point
David Woodley came to the bench, talked it over with Don Schulte
And San Diego can ill afford any more points, they trail by 14 at the moment
The winner of this game will host the New York Jets next week, next Sunday
Prior to that, the winner of the Green Bay Dallas game to be played later today will play at Washington Saturday
The Dolphins trying to figure out how to get into the end zone again
Now Franklin and Nathan in the backfield, probably will run
Look at the middle
On second down, it's a delay to Franklin, Franklin moves inside the 10 yard line down to the eighth, they had it well covered
And it's going to be third down, and they've plugged the middle up in a hurry
Hank, the reason I said they'll probably run, they huddled along the sideline, Duriel Harris
Took one quick listen about what they're talking about, talking about them very uninterested, he walked away
So I figured it must be a running play
And of course what they did the last time, they're surely going to benefit from it, hopefully
That they are not going to try to be fancy and do what they've done very well, and that's run the ball
Franklin went to the seven where it's third and fourth
Nathan and Vigorito are in the backfield
Franklin is out, and Woodley wants to throw, he runs with the ball, quarterback draw, touchdown!
Woodley on a quarterback draw, there was that middle wide open again, and he raced for seven yards and a score
He took one step back and lit out the middle
Quarterback draw play, with the middle of the linebackers got to run out of there and pass coverage
And as a result that's why the middle is there, the tacklers are coming across there very aggressively
And that area has got to be vulnerable than it was
33 to 13 with 14-18 left in the game
Boy that thing popped open like it was on the blackboard
62 yards, seven plays, three minutes and 45 seconds
And a seven yard run
Extra point drive by Vaughn Schaumann who missed only one all year
And he boots it up and through, and that makes it 34 to 13
Now the Chargers are worse off than they ever have been in this game
With a score now, the Dolphins 34 and San Diego 13, let's take time out

The crowd here in the orange ball have been chanting, we want the Jets
And they may get the Jets
The Dolphins were inspired by the New York victory over the Los Angeles Raiders yesterday
And if Miami wins, they'll get the home field
If the Dolphins, or if the Chargers come back and win, they'll get the home field
The Jets will be on the road
Brooks is the deep man, here is a swift kick bouncing inside the 20
And eluding Brooks, who picks it up on the 12, returns across the 20 to the 25
Here's Tackle Air by Jim Jensen, the quarterback who plays on the special teams
And he goes back at their 25-yard line
Thank you, we again have to look at the physical condition of Kevin Winslow when interpreting this game
No question about that, he's such a dominant player
And to have to play without his services is really tough
He's in there, but he's been blocking primarily, he's caught one pass, he dropped another
And it's first down at the 25-yard line, here's a pass play by Fouts
Throws short off to the right, caught by Brooks beyond the 30, 35 out of bounds, first down at the 38 of San Diego
No pressure that time, he had all the chance in the world, all the time in the world to read the defense and get the ball to the open receiver
He does that very well if you don't put pressure up the middle on Fouts
And he stopped the clock with 14 minutes left in the game
The Dolphins are leading by 21
First down, Chargers
Here is the running play, Muncie with the ball, he ran over Chandler, the wide receiver, who was trying to block
And he came across the 40 to the 45, he got 7
Muncie knocked Chandler crazy, he said get out of here and he just knocked him right off his pins
That's right, he ran right over the top of him
Muncie ran for 7 yards
13 and a half left in the game
Chargers need 3 touchdowns, Chandler goes in motion, Fouts delays the ball to Muncie
Muncie comes to midfield and he has a first down
The Dolphins say go right ahead
Just so you take a lot of time, that's what they want, go ahead and take a lot of time
They're just not going to let him score easy, that's what you have to prevent now
The Dolphins cannot let them score on a big play and let them score quickly
13 minutes remaining in the game, first down at midfield for the Chargers
Chandler to the right, jointer to the left in the pass play by Fouts over the middle
And this one is caught, big yards inside the 25 yard line
Right down
And a flag is down, back across the field
And it is going to be against San Diego on the motion call
So instead of having the ball at the Miami 21, they suffer a 5 yard penalty after the catch by jointer
That happened to the Chargers earlier on a holding call
In the first half
The offensive line, offensive line, beat the snap by Don Masich the center
First and 15, at the San Diego 45, that stopped the clock with 12.49 left in the game
Now the clock starts as Fouts drops the throw and screens it out to the right
And the play carries beyond midfield and down to the 46
Muncie caught the ball and did some nifty running
Let's pause 5 seconds for stations to identify themselves on the CBS Radio Network
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, 42 degrees at WKSI El Dorado
The ball is at the Miami 46, second down and 7
12.10 left in the game
Brooks in the backfield with Muncie
Give to Brooks running right, a flag is down and it stops the play
It's another penalty against San Diego
Two penalties in this series
Ball start, number 67, offense
The call against the veteran guard at white
The ball is put down at the San Diego 49, second and 12
Again that stopped the clock, 12.05 left in the game, Miami leading 34 to 13
Fourth penalty against San Diego in the game
Fouts are going to pass again as time takes short throws long inside the 10 and incomplete
Double coverage on Chandler who came up looking for a flag and there wasn't any
The officials were peering right in on the same, there weren't all flags as the defenders played the ball
Kyle Blackwood and Gerald Small were there
Third and 12
He would have had a chance Jack, he would have been able to throw it just a little bit farther
Kind of wobble up there and didn't have the penetration that nobody likes on that kind of a pass
Now it is third down and 12 from the San Diego 49 yard line
Joyner and Chandler come left
White scales as he added receiver
The pass by Fouts, he's going to be sacked, he gets away, throws on the run, incomplete at the 30 yard line
Sievers the tight end, trying to go up and get it
Scales and Sievers were in the same area
And it's fourth down
And they're hardly to the point, they're hardly to the point Hank, trailing with 11.48 left trailing by 21 points
They're hardly to the point where they can punt the ball and they're not going to
It's fourth and 12
Okay, here it comes with 11.48 remaining
Fouts is 11 out of 26, one touchdown, two intercepted
And he needs 12 yards on this fourth down play
It's a four man rush
He says, he throws over the middle and it's caught for a first down at the 35 yard line by Sievers
Eric Sievers out of Maryland caught that line drive pass from Fouts
Good work by the offensive line
It really was, very good, he got a four man rush, got no penetration, he had plenty of time to throw the ball
And when he's got time, he's going to shoot your eyes out, he did on the last play as the Sievers
Number 85 right in the middle, the gut of that zone defense
And Ernie Rohn made the tackle at the Miami
35 yard line, a first down
11.11 left in the game
Short drop by Fouts is past the stone and it is incomplete at the 10
He tried to force it between two defenders to get it to Charlie Joyner
And the pass was incomplete
It looked like a carbon copy of the one they intercepted
That one could have been intercepted, but it wasn't, luckily it wasn't for San Diego
McNeil and Lyle Blackwood, Lyle the older of the two brothers
And there again, he didn't throw it out in front, far enough, he had to wait for it
And that's why the ball was almost intercepted
11.02 left in the game, 21 point lead Miami, second down in 10 San Diego
At the Dolphins, 35
Four man rush again, Fouts steps and throws and it is intercepted
At the nine yard line
Intercepted on a diving attempt by Glenn Blackwood
So the fifth turnover
A third interception against San Diego
Gerald Small, Glenn Blackwood, his second of the day
And that stops that
Blackwood at his own nine, he flew through the air and intercepted that ball
Now we have 10.54 left
Yeah, I'm surprised, but here again, you say Dewey was lifting up the middle
And he threw a bad ball, it's all it was to it, but again, that's what the pressure up the middle does about
Put the ball down at the Miami 10, we have 10.54 left
21 point lead Miami and we'll be back in just a moment

As they say, Hank Stram, good defense will stop good offense every time and vice versa
The ball is at the 10 yard line of Miami
And on first down, Franklin runs left, strings it out, turns it up field, and gets about 3 yards before he has finally stopped
Here we had a meeting between the number one offensive team in the National Football League, the number one defensive team, and the defense usually prevails
It prevailed today, Jack, basically because of the field position that Miami had on the 27-23-37
Three touchdowns, 21 points, that's been the difference in the game, Jack, really and truly
You can't expect to play a game like this one and expect one team to go 80 yards consistently
And the other team to play on one to 30 yards
No way you're going to win, and that's why Miami is winning this game
Second down and 7 from their 13
Another running play on a delayed and Nathan, he cracks across the 15 out to the 17 yard line
10 minutes remaining in the game, Keith Ferguson, the tackler
The first to his 3 yards by Franklin
And now Nathan gets 4 yards
Third down and 3 for Miami
9.45 left in the game, Fouts has not had a good game
12 out of 29, 3 intercepted
Winslow is not a factor, he is normally always a factor, he was not a factor today, and when he's not a factor
Double the outside receivers and Chandler I think has only caught two balls all day
Here is the first down running play
To Andra Franklin, he was in the backfield with Bennett and cracked over the left side and boomed out to the 25
And that's the first down, and that will take us under the 9 minute mark
Franklin to the 25
Miami is a good football team, the Jets will have their hands pulled next Sunday
And the Jets are good too, yes they are, good, strong, solid football team
Well drilled, well disciplined, well coached, Don Schueler has done a great job in his path with his team
And rushing 144 yards for Miami
To the 25 yard line now and a first down
Franklin a fake and a pass by Woodley, he's sacked, he gets away
He runs for his life and he throws it away
The flag is down, back uphill
The flag is down, well away from the line of scrimmage
Matt Moore is going to be against San Diego
Williams, he had Williams Blake and Williams I think grabbed him
So that will allow Miami to keep the ball at their 30
Number 29 defense, automated first down
Mike Williams the cornerback was holding, stops the clock with 8.31 left in the game
Earlier this year Miami won in New York, 45-28
And here in Miami, Miami beat the Jets again 20-19
It's a first down at the 30
For the Dolphins
And they're running back Nathan following Franklin, gets 5 right up the middle
And they're just tearing him up, 8.20 left
Clip thrift to Tackler, they're really doing a number on him up front
They're big up front San Diego is defensively with Jones, Kelcher when he's in there
Wilbur Young when Kelcher doesn't play, Gary Johnson and Keith Ferguson but they're getting kicked around
Yeah they really are, I can't understand why Kelcher hasn't played more than he has
He's not in there now
He hasn't been in there most of the time in the second half and played very unimpressively in the first half when he was in there
7.50 left in the game, second and five
Stevenson the center, snaps the ball, here's a give to Franklin
Franklin goes for about three, it'll be third and short coming up with Johnson and Ferguson at Tackler
First it's Nathan, then it's Franklin
And third and two from the 38
For the old Clark is killing the Chargers now just as it killed the Vikings yesterday when John Riggins went to work
Tom Figueredo is in the backfield, he comes into the game with 24 catches for the regular season more than anybody else in the club
They like to throw to him
214 yards rushing for Miami
And on third down a long snap count and a give to Figueredo, follows Franklin and squirts out to the 40
And got a first down, kept his feet to the 40 yard line
He was right on the tail of Andra Franklin, first down for Miami
6.50 left, Foxville running
They're doing it all
Figueredo to the Miami 40
And another first down
6.35 left, Eddie Hill checks into the lineup
6.5 minutes left in the game and Miami leading 34 to 13, a 21 point advantage, they take a long time in the huddle
Now they have to hurry to beat the 32nd clock, Woodley gets under center
And takes the snap, hands it off, Franklin bounces off one tackle, comes outside and gets five
Hits five or six yards every run, another six yards for Franklin
And he stayed in bounds, under six minutes left in the game
Franklin is slowing getting up, gets no sympathy or relief back into the huddle he goes
They'll expect him to be back to work on Monday and be ready to play again on Sunday, like nothing happened
He had a great year, over 700 yards rushing during the regular season
He's been a great backboard
They've been looking for him for quite a while since the days of Zunka
And kicked, five and a half minutes left
San Diego is dying on the vine and it's second down and four, for Miami from their 46
Nathan, no game
Tony Nathan carried, was tripped up and gained nothing
But he gained some time on the clock and will be under five minutes by the time it snapped again
And even on third and four, San Diego does not stop the clock here with the timeout
And if they were interested in getting back into it, Hank, it would have been a propitious time to use one
I think so, yep
Four fifty-five left in the game, third down and four coming up for the Dolphins
So clock four forty-five left
Four forty left
Third and four, Miami, and a toss to the tailback, Tony Nathan, no game
Fourth down, he stayed in bounds, and now we have four and a half left
And it's fourth down as the punting unit goes down, they'll probably take a penalty
And stop the clock, well they really chewed up some time
They intercepted with almost eleven minutes left, and now they'll give it away with less than four minutes left
So they kept the ball for about seven minutes even though they didn't score
Franklin is rushed for 96 yards, Nathan 92, how's that for a one-two punch?
That's what you look for, especially in a big game like this one
Now they're going to let that thirty-second clock wind down, Tom Oros will kick it to James Brooks
On the game clock we have three forty-five left, there's the snap, beating the thirty-second clock
There's the kick, away from Brooks, he now takes it on the thirteen and is tackled at the fourteen
Well that's typical of what Miami has been doing today, they've done everything right
Vance, Vince Heflin downfield to make the tackle with three thirty-six remaining in the game
And trailing by twenty-one points, the Chargers have only three and a half minutes to do something about it
What's the score? The Dolphins thirty-four, the Chargers thirteen, let's take time out
We're up to our ears in audio technology here at the Delco Electronics testing lab in Kokomo, Indiana
Speaking of ears, who's the guy in the red jumpsuit sitting in the Buick Riviera?
He's got microphones where his ears are supposed to be
That's Morgan, a mechanical person, I was getting to him
Sorry
Three years ago, Delco Electronics and the prestigious Bose Corporation
Blanket Bose Speakers?
That's right, decided to combine their technologies
The result is the Delco GM Bose Music System, the first system with components matched to a specific car model
That's where Morgan comes in
The guy with the microphone ears, huh?
Yeah, he's into cycle acoustics, he's helped position the loudspeakers, even the design of the amplifiers to fit different GM cars
You guys went through a lot of trouble
Yes we did, the acoustical differences received by Morgan's ears were computerized
Computerized!
Why not, Delco's the number one digital control computer manufacturer
In the whole world
And above the world, Delco's making one of the computers that will be launched by the Space Shuttle
And will the Space Shuttle also have a Delco GM Bose Music System on board?
I'll have to check on that
Uh huh
Okay you New York Jets, come on down
It'll be the New York Jets here in the Orange Bowl next Sunday
Here's Pouts trying to do something about that situation, stepping up and throwing, incomplete out of the 30 yard line
Good defensive play by the linebacker Brzezinski
Three and a half minutes exactly left
34 to 13, the Dolphins on top
And it's going to be the Jets here in Miami in either Green Bay or Dallas at Washington next Saturday
The Jet game takes place next Sunday
The Dolphins really early in the game Jack, really took them out of the rhythm of their offense
Talking about the balance of the run of the pass
And really deserve a lot of credit for the great job they have done against this high power San Diego offense
Pouts throws to the right sideline, it's intercepted
Miami has it, Gerald Small runs back inside the 20
And down to the 15 and there's a play
Don McNeil got that one
So McNeil is intercepted, Small is intercepted
Glenn Blackwood has two
That's the sixth San Diego turnover
With three 18 left and now we deal with the play
Pouts was intercepted
And McNeil ran it back to the 16 and then a flag came down
And more yards is marked off, it's going to be first and goal at the nine
Personal foul, unnecessary roughness
Home tackle number 46, defense first down, time out
The call was unnecessary roughness against San Diego
Now we have three 18 left and a time out first and goal Miami at the eighth of San Diego
Dolphins leading by 21 and we'll be back in just a moment

Well the Miami Dolphins have the ball back after the sixth San Diego turnover
And a first and goal at the eighth with 3.18 left
Woody Bennett is the running back
The give is to Bennett, he finds nothing over the right side, no game
But the clock runs down to 3.10, tackled by Cliff Griff
Well San Diego for all their offensive fireworks, and they call timeout now
Is through for the year, they call a timeout with 3.05 left
The score is the same, Dolphins 34, Chargers 13, let's take timeout

David Woodley came to the sideline to talk it over with Don Schuller
His second down and goal from the nine yard line, 3.05 left
And to our stations, when we get another timeout, we'll give you a chance for a local message
Hank, a lot of good teams have been eliminated
The Chargers apparently going down to defeat here today
The Raiders were knocked off, the Vikings were knocked off, and a good team will be knocked off later today
That's what happens, you go down the wire, somebody's going to get knocked off, Jack, as you know
And as you mentioned though, really the Raiders have been an excellent team all year long
And the San Diego Chargers have been very explosive, everybody knows about their defensive problems and woes
But you finally get this far, and it kind of glamorizes really what your shortcomings are
It's very obvious the defensive shortcomings of the San Diego Chargers in this game
Rich Diana is in the backfield, Bennett carries the ball back to the original line of scrimmage
Back to the eight, and San Diego calls timeout again
Timeout again, and now we have 2.59 left, and San Diego has one more timeout remaining
With a score of 34 to 13 in favor of Miami
Let's give our stations a chance for a message, and we'll be back in just a moment
Hello, this is Cliff Robertson
I'd like to say a few words about those very special people who save millions of lives every year
Yet they never receive any medals
In fact, you never hear their names
These quiet heroes are volunteer blood donors who supply the more than 30,000 pints of blood used every day
More donors are needed if we hope to keep up with the demand
Only 5% of those eligible donate blood
The procedure is safe and simple, and the entire process takes less than an hour
There is no substitute for human blood
An emergency can happen at any time when you or someone you love requires blood in a hurry
It can mean the difference between life and death
Won't you give blood today and join the ranks of the quiet heroes?

Third and goal from the 9 for Miami
They stand the ground and Bennett runs with a ball inside the 5 down to the 4 yard line
He is tackled by Allen
It's 4th down, the clock stopped at the moment
With a final timeout used by San Diego and the referee Jerry Markright as he is obligated to do
Goes to the sideline to tell Don Coriel he has no more timeouts
Woody Bennett, 62-22, played his collegiate football right here in this stadium for the University of Miami
The ball is at the 4
And the last timeout is used
And Miami is not going to try the field goal
Sometimes nasty things can happen on a field goal try
Such as a block and a return for a touchdown
So on 4th down and goal from the 4, they're going to run from scrimmage apparently
The clock will start, 2.46 left in the game
The Dolphins ahead throughout
Led by the score of 27-13 at the half and lead 34-13 now
Woody Bennett and Tom Vigorito are at the backs
Now Rich Diana goes in
It is 4th down
And the referee says let's go
The Miami Dolphins will be entertaining the Jets next Sunday
Two different times have been given to us so we don't really
We're not really certain what the broadcast time will be but you'll hear it on CBS radio
It's 4th down
Diana and Bennett in the backfield
From the 4, motion by Moore
A give to Bennett trying to get outside, cuts up, he is hit, dropped at the 5 and the ball goes over to San Diego
With 2.39 left
Block stops on the change of possession, Kim Fox the tackle
Well the defensive unit of the Dolphins has to go back out of the field
2.39 left
34-13 the score
Miami during the season
And 6 wins, here's a pass play from Fouts
The end zone out beyond the 10 yard line, it's caught and a big hit was made
On Hollahan the tight end, tackle at the 13
Pick up of 8
And a hurry up offense
We have 2.15 left in the game
4 man rush, 4 Miami, Fouts is sacked at the 5 yard line
That's the third time they've sacked him, back at the 5, it stops the clock
But now they'll start it again
And it'll take us to the 2 minute warning
So 6 turnovers, 3 sacks
A bad combination for the visiting San Diego team
Here's the 2 minute warning with the score 34-13 in favor of the Dolphins
Let's take time out
You've worked so hard
And come so far
You take your best to make it
You're so good
You knew it would
Your moment here
So take it
Bring out your best
But wise alike
Bring out your best
But wise alike
You've got the best pass by the ref.
You earned it all, now taste it.
But why the life?
Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Missouri.
Next weekend we'll have both championship games for you on CBS Radio,
commencing at 12.15 Eastern Time, Dallas or Green Bay at Washington on Saturday,
and then at 12.45 Eastern Time with New York here at Miami.
What do you think of that match?
We'll have a lot of fun, I guarantee you that, Jack.
Next week up in Washington and right back here.
Same schedule we had, same weekend.
Third down and ten, fouls from the end zone, throws the screen to Muncie.
Muncie comes out across the ten and tries four and gets a first down.
He's out near the 20 and as San Diego tries to get something done on offense,
I can tell you that David Woodley was 17 out of 23, 196 yards,
two touchdowns, one interception, an outstanding performance.
Bouts tries to add to his figures, dumps it off short, it's caught on the wing,
and Muncie runs out of bounds at the 24, stopping the clock with 131 left.
Franklin rushed for 96 yards, Nathan rushed for 92 and caught eight passes.
They were just going up and down the field early in the game, Jack,
throwing a pass and a linebacker from their triple-wing formation.
Had great success with it, and then they completed the package.
I'm talking about the package of the formation by running inside, outside,
doing a combination of things in the same formation, and were very, very successful.
131 left, second down and six from their own 24 and a fouls pass.
He's chased out of the pocket, throws long downfield, and it is intercepted by Miami.
Coming back with the ball is Lyle Blackwood.
He gets one and he's tackled at the 27.
So Glenn Blackwood intercepted two, Darrell Small won, Lyle Blackwood won,
John McNeil won, a total of five.
Five interceptions against Ann Bouts, and the seventh turnover.
He threw into double coverage and was burned with 114 left.
Now the Blackwood brothers, I wonder if brothers ever intercepted passes before
in the National Football League. Glenn got two and Lyle got one.
That's got to be a rare, very rare occasion.
It's unusual to have two of them in the same defensive backfield at the safety spots.
And now San Diego has no timeouts, and so this game will be over with a couple of snaps of the football,
which is now resting at the Miami 28.
They took it all away from them, didn't they? They took it all away early.
They don't play catch-up football, and they normally do that very well.
But the key really, I think, Jack, field position was the key, and the fact that they did not have Winslow,
it was obvious from the very beginning of the game he could not play up the par.
Therefore it could put a lot more pressure on the outside receivers.
Chandler, when he caught two balls, was not a factor in the game whatsoever, and you take away the big gun.
Winslow and Chandler, you've got to be out of business.
Woodley is through for the day, 17 out of 23, 196 yards, one intercepted, and he ran seven yards per touchdown.
And Jim Jensen, second-year quarterback out of Boston University, is the quarterback.
He'll take the snaps.
Hill and Diane are in the backfield with him.
The snap of the ball and the clock runs down, 1-10.
And San Diego can't do a thing about it. We have our final score of 34 to 13.
Lindsey Nelson and Jim Kelly are standing by at Texas Stadium,
and they will fill the airwaves here on CBS Radio with the story of the second game today.
First downs, Miami 30 to 17, rushing 223 to 71, passing 210 to 201.
How many times did he outpass San Diego? Total yards, 433 to 272.
And turnover, 7 for San Diego, 2 for Miami.
Six penalties for each team. There's the last snap of the ball,
and the charges have been eliminated. We're now down to two teams.
It'll be the Jets at Miami next Sunday for the AFC Championship and a trip to the Super Bowl out at Pasadena.
Unfortunately, the clock is running down now, and there's the gun marking the end of the game.
34-13, Miami. Let's get our stations a chance for a message. We'll be back in just a moment.

Not only did Miami take it away, talking about the San Diego offense early in the game,
but in the second half, when San Diego scored and trailed by the score of 27 to 13,
San Diego had another chance to come back, but Miami stopped them again.
Yeah, they had the ball on a 37-yard line.
As you mentioned, 27-13, that was a great time for them to do something, get some points on the board,
to get back in the game. They did not, and from that time on, they never had a chance.
It was all over. School was out, and they started to play the traveling music.
Miami, the number one team on defense in the National Football League, and they showed why today.
They're not very weak, are they?
No, they're not. They have a very alert, aggressive, strong defensive secondary, good defensive structure.
Bill Arnsberger has done a fantastic job with this defense. They've earned the right to be number one,
and they expressed that skill and ability here this afternoon. No question about it. You have to give them credit.
Don Schula and his coaching staff at the Miami Dolphins win this one very impressively here this afternoon,
34-13 in the Orange Bowl.
San Diego, seven turnovers, five interceptions, and two fumbles.
In addition, Dan Fouts, the quarterback, was sacked three different times.
At the half, Miami enjoyed the lead and came out in the second half still throwing the ball on first down.
They didn't sit on it, and they walk away with a 21-point victory.
Let's give our stations a chance for this message, and we'll be back in a moment.
