Cincinnati was coached by Forrest Gregg, who was brought over from Cleveland in order to turn around the Bengals in 1980. 5 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Two years later, they were able to put together a 12-1 season and advance to the Super Bowl with a convincing win over the Chargers in the AFC Championship game. 6 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:56,000 This audio recording is from the Cincinnati Radio broadcast featuring announcers Phil Samp and Andy McWilliams. 7 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,000 They were firing from all over the place and a lot of amateur photogs here trying to take home a memory of the Super Bowl. 8 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000 I certainly will tell them very, very shortly if they continue during action that flash cameras are not allowed. 9 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:34,000 I would not think that they would allow them to go on while the game is going on. Plenty were flashing when Diana Ross was singing the national anthem. 10 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 But they should not be allowed while the game is actually in play. 11 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:45,000 The Bengals received a big cheer from the audience when they came in to participate with the University of Michigan band before the game. 12 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000 The Bengals down in the corner to our right, also down in the corner to our left. 13 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000 So Breach tees it up now at the 30-yard line. At this time, he will boot it high down the middle, coming up the take at his Lawrence at the 10. 14 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Up to the 15, to the 20, gets to the 25, 20, loses the ball to the Wangle Favot at the 25-yard line. 15 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000 It is John Simmons, I believe, the rookie out of SMU. I think John Simmons got on top of it. 16 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,000 Guy Fraser was there too, but an excellent hit around the 27 and rings popped up the football. 17 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Now a turnover by the 49ers who led the league in turnovers, plus 23 for the year. 18 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000 And a ball was either stripped out by Fraser or somebody else. 19 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000 And the Bengals are right in business at the 49er 26-yard line. 20 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000 And the Bengals offense commuted out on the field much more quickly than they thought they would be. 21 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000 Rookie Guy Fraser out of Wyoming made the hits, and another rookie, John Simmons, picked up the football. 22 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Collinsworth goes left. Curtis comes to the right. Alexander and Johnson in the backfield. 23 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Now Alexander goes wide left. 24 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000 We'll set the rest of the offense and the 49er defense for you. 25 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Back to throw is Anderson. Fires out, is caught by Curtis. That's a 20. Hits from behind and drops at the 18-yard line. 26 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Eric Wright hits Collinsworth from behind. A real cheap blow as the ball was caught by Curtis. 27 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Jack Reynolds back there to make the stop, and the ball is just inside the 19-yard line. 28 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000 So the Bengals go right to the air, and they get a second down and three. 29 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Across the front, Munoz and Mike Wilson are the tackles. 30 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Dave Lapham is the left guard. Max Montoya, the right guard. 31 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Blair Busch is the center, and they have a four-man defensive line in there. 32 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 Fred Dean overplaying the right-end spot. 33 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Second and two, a handoff into the line is Pete Johnson. 34 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Pete fights his way to maybe the 16-yard line. 35 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Montoya is forced back by three or four tacklers, led by one of the inside linebackers, Craig Puky. 36 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Bengals came up with a big special team play early in the San Diego game, 37 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000 as Rick Rosano forced a fumble, and Don Bass recovered deep in San Diego territory. 38 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 The Bengals converted that into an early touchdown, 39 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000 and now on the first play of the game, the Bengals special teams again 40 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000 forced a fumble with the guy Fraser on the hit, and the recovery made by defensive back John Simmons. 41 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000 The Bengals have a first down just by the nose of the football, just inside the San Francisco 17-yard line. 42 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000 On defense is Wayne Borden and Jim Stuckey now with Archie Reese, the middle guard, up front. 43 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Dena Turner and Woody Harper are the outside linebackers. Jack Reynolds and Craig Puky on the inside. 44 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Ronnie Lott and Eric Wright are the cornerbacks. 45 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Charlton Williamson, the strong safety. Dwight Hicks is the free safety. 46 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000 M.L. Harris is checked in to give the Bengals two tight ends now. 47 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Charlie Alexander has come out. 48 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Collins-Worth goes left. Eric Wright backs off. 49 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Ronnie Lott now backs off. Curtis on the right side. 50 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000 The 49ers shift up front, and Anderson will go back to throw. 51 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Looky now, forced out of the pocket. Up front is Claude at the 10-yard line by Ross. 52 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 He's down the sidelines with a five and shoved out of bounds right there. 53 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Jack Reynolds got over the knock down Ross out of bounds at about the five-yard line. 54 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000 It was a little dink over the line after Anderson held the ball a long time. 55 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000 And Ross finally cut into the clear at about the 12-yard line, took the ball, went around one man, 56 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000 and was bumped out at the five at his first and goal. 57 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Anderson did a good job of avoiding a rush from his right. 58 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Blair Bush came across to pick up the right end, and on the delay, it was dumped off to Ross, 59 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000 and he's inside the 10-yard line at the five first and goal for Cincinnati. 60 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Now Collins-Worth comes out of the ball game, and the Bengals will go back to the two-side end. 61 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Dan O'Hara's on the left, Dan Ross on the right, and Alexander and Pete Johnson in the backfield. 62 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Alexander is the deep man in the eye. The Bengals are at the five with the first and goal. 63 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Firsts are in motion. A handoff Alexander left side. 64 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000 He gets about a yard, and that is all, and now he has really shoved back by a first charge. 65 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Cody Harper, the linebacker on that side, got him. Then Dwight Hicks, the safety, came up to help out, 66 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000 along with Ronnie Lott. We'll see the penetration. There was not much of a gain on the play. 67 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000 In fact, the ball is still at the five-yard line. It will be second down and goal. 68 00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,000 49ers played the rush very tough this year. They gave up only 10 rushing touchdowns all season long. 69 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,000 And they gave up an average of only three and a half yards every time a team tried to rush against them. 70 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Defense really has been the strong point of this club. 71 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Cotton's worth is to the left. Now Curtis split out wide to the right. 72 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 The only running back is Pete Johnson. Second down and goal at the five. 73 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:22,000 The blitz is on. Anderson back to throw, and he is nailed by Jim Stuckey back at about the 12-yard line. 74 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,000 Stuckey got around Mike Wilson and blew in and nailed Anderson back in a bunch at about the 12-yard line. 75 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000 So good coverage in the secondary, and Anderson had to eat the ball. 76 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Now the 49ers bring in about five substitutes, including Fred Dean, as they will go to the four-man line. 77 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Steve Prider checks in for the Bengals, and they also go to their nickels. 78 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Jim Stuckey is the guy who recovered that late fumble and preserved the NFC championship game victory over the Dallas Cowboys. 79 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,000 The Bengals don't want to come out of this with anything less than a touchdown. 80 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000 Curtis and Collinsworth flank to the left, and now Prider goes that way also. 81 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:14,000 A four-man rush as Anderson is back to throw, and intercepted at the five-yard line, out to the 10, down to the 20, the 25, and pushed out of bounds at about the 30-yard line. 82 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:23,000 White Hicks steps in front of that pass, down at about the five-yard line, and that has to be a big, big boost for the San Francisco 49ers. 83 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000 As after turning the ball over, they come up with a big interception. 84 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,000 There's time out on the field with a score the Bengals nothing, and the 49ers nothing. 85 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Bengals had cleared and goal at the San Francisco 5. They sent triple wide receivers left. 86 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Isaac Curtis cut over the middle. He was the man the pass was intended for, but for some reason Isaac pulled up in his pattern, 87 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000 got around the goal line, and Dwight Hicks was right there to pick it off. 88 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,000 So that is how the first Bengals series in the first game ended, with a quick interception. 89 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Up front, Wilson Whitley, the nose guard, Ross Browner, Eddie Edwards, the end. 90 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Harris Cameron, LeClaire Williams, we'll set the rest in a moment. They have Clark and Solomon on the opposite side. 91 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Montana is back to throw. It's a three-man rush. That's up a screen. 92 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,000 It's a Ricky Patton up at the 35, and he'll be pulled down at about the 39-yard line. 93 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:18,000 A little screen left to Ricky Patton, a former teammate of Reggie Williams up at Flint Southwest High School, 94 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:23,000 and it goes for about six or seven yards, just depending on where they spot the ball. 95 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Eddie Edwards coming over to make the stop. They'll put it right at the 38. 96 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000 They'll give him six, and it will be second down and four. 97 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Louis Breeden and Kenny Riley are the corners. Bobby Kemp is the strong safety. 98 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Brian Hicks, the free safety. They have Dwight Clark and Solomon as the wide receivers. 99 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Charlie Young is the tight end. Earl Cooper and Ricky Patton are the running back. 100 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000 Joe Montana is the quarterback. 101 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000 Now they send Charlie Young to tight end and motion to the right. 102 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Montana is back to throw. 103 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000 Fires it upfield. It's caught out at the 44-yard line. 104 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Dropped immediately right at the 45, Dwight Clark. 105 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000 He generally is a guy who will work underneath the linebackers, and he did that time, 106 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,000 and again is good for a first down up to the 44. 107 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,000 Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification. 108 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000 This is the Cincinnati Bengals football network. 109 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000 Gary Burbank morning. Debbie Conner midday. Jim LaBarbara afternoon. 110 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000 Bob Truffey, Sports Talk. Lynn Riley evenings and Talknet. 111 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000 The new number one lineup in 82 from WLW, Cincinnati. 112 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000 It's a pitch back. It's Cooper on the left side. 113 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000 He's forced back, and he'll just get back to the line of scrimmage. 114 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Reggie Williams moved through, rerouted him, and he got back to the 38- or 9-yard line, 115 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000 and Ross Brown at the right end, and Jim LeClair were over there to put him down. 116 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Reggie Williams, quick thrust and penetration, really messed up that play. 117 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Good cutback by Cooper to avoid a loss is that the slow developing sweep was really snipped out well 118 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 by Reggie Williams and the rest of the Bengals. 119 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000 They had plenty of pursuit to their right, to the left side of the San Francisco formation. 120 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000 They send Freddie Solomon out to the right. To the left side comes Dwight Clark. 121 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000 You'll get double coverage over there, Riley and Reggie Williams. 122 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Amos Lawrence on the backfield. Back to throw is Montana. 123 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Fires upfield. Good down to the Bengals' 46-yard line, and immediately swarmed down, down there is Freddie Solomon, the tight end. 124 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Bobby Kemp got over there, LeClair, Louis Braden, but the bullet by Montana was right into the arms 125 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000 and is good to the Bengals' 46-yard line, and that is very close to where they have to go for a first down. 126 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000 In fact, Pat Haggard, now it is going to be, as we can see from here, maybe a foot short. 127 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000 It will be third down and just about that foot to go. 128 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,000 So Freddie Solomon has started despite the questionable knee, and he was the receiver on that pattern. 129 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Montana hands off, around the outside, a handoff now back to Montana. 130 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000 Look, throws downfield. 131 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:58,000 As it's locked down at the 32-yard line, a great catch down there by Charlie Young, who went high in the air, was cut from underneath. 132 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,000 That ball went off to two men before it wound up back in the hands of Joe Montana, and he threw down to the Bengals' 33-yard line, 133 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000 where it was caught by Charlie Young. 134 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,000 And the 49ers have another first down, third and short yardage, and they went for the pass. 135 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000 They faked the sweep left. They gave it on the end around to Solomon, who runs that play quite frequently, 136 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000 and you have to be aware Freddie Solomon is a runner, but they pitched back to Montana and completed the pass to the tight end. 137 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Easton Ramson now goes in to replace Young, the 49ers at the Bengals' 33. 138 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000 They send Ramson in motion over the right. Montana is back to throw. 139 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Reggie Williams is coming, throws it upfield, a dive, and it was not intercepted. 140 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,000 It was dropped down at the 18-yard line by Lou Breeden, who had a great chance to intercept it, 141 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000 as Ramson was overthrown out in the right flat. 142 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000 But Breeden could not hold on to the ball, so it'll come back to the 33-yard line 143 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000 and will be second down and 10 for the 49ers. 144 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000 That was San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana's first in completion. 145 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000 He was 4 for 4. Now make him 4 for 5, 35 yards. 146 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Montana has had time. The Bengals have not had a great deal of pressure on them. They have not blitzed. 147 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000 The Bengals don't consider to blitz unless more than four men come. 148 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Now the Bengals put seven men right up on the line of scrimmage. They'll drop a couple off. 149 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Montana has one running back in a slot left. The handoff is Coper to the left side. 150 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,000 He's at the 30 to the 25 and all the way down to the 22-yard line. 151 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000 He ran to his right. Big blocking from Randy Cross and Keith Von Horst and Bobby Kemp. 152 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,000 And Reggie Williams finally had to put him down, but it was the first down, 153 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000 a gain of 11 yards to that right side. 154 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000 The 49ers have not been an efficient running crew this year, 155 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000 but they were in the first game against the Bengals, and that one was good for 11 and a quick first down. 156 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Earl Cooper had good success with that play in the first game between these same two teams. 157 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,000 62 yards, a 5.2 average, and one of the theories as to why he did so well is because 158 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000 Eddie Edwards was injured in that game, but Eddie is healthy today. 159 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:03,000 Bill Ring and Johnny Davis are now the running backs as Bill Walts puts in a couple of new ones. 160 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000 Montana hands it off to Ring. He rips into the right side. 161 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000 He's all the way to the 15-yard line before Louis Breeden can feral him. 162 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000 Ryan Hicks coming over from the safety spot to help out. 163 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000 They ran to their right that time, and they whip between Eddie Edwards and Wilson Whitley in the middle. 164 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000 Bo Harris was taken out of the play, and it's a good, quick 7-yarder. 165 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000 And the 49ers are just outside the Bengals, 15-yard line with a second down and three. 166 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000 The 49ers fumble the opening kickoff, and the Bengals recovered it, got it down to the 5-yard line, 167 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000 and back from the 11, Anderson was intercepted. 168 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000 And that's red end. The 49ers took the ball after the run back to the 32, 169 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:47,000 and they have it down at the Bengals, 15, where it is second down and about three to go. 170 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000 And up a pitch to the left side. Running wide is Cooper. 171 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000 He's going to be shoved out of bounds at about the 15-yard line. 172 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000 He didn't gain much in the play. Reggie Williams, along with Brian Hicks, Kenny Reilly, were all over there 173 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000 to make sure that he got out of bounds, and he did at the 15, 174 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000 so there is no gain in the play. Now it will become third down and about three. 175 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000 49ers have had the football for 10 plays and over five minutes in this drive. 176 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,000 They started at the Bengals 32, at their own 32, after the interception by Dwight Hicks. 177 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000 6.41 is the playing time left in this first quarter. 178 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,000 There is no score, but the 49ers are down, knocking at the goal, just as the Bengals were. 179 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000 The game that time was about two lengths of the football. 180 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000 Now they'll send Solomon and Young out to the right, Dwight Clark to the left. 181 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,000 In motion, Solomon, Montano is back to throw. 182 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:43,000 Fires out of the flat, all alone at the five-yard line, knocked out of bounds at the one is Freddie Solomon. 183 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,000 Right down to the one-yard line before Lou Breeden could knock Solomon out of the ballgame, 184 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:54,000 and Solomon, who injured that knee on Wednesday, is slow getting up on the far sideline. 185 00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:00,000 He was on that side, and he just drifted out in the right flat, and there was nobody there at all, 186 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000 as he really came out clean. The ball is one yard away from the Bengals' goal line. 187 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000 The Bengals go to the goal line defense, and the 49ers will have a first and goal, 188 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000 fitting to score the first time they get their hands on the ball. 189 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000 The Bengals make defensive changes, the 49ers with some offensive changes. 190 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000 They have Davis, a short man, and a plunge into the line, and a touchdown. 191 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Joe Montana gets that ball and scored as he did in the first game, and the 49ers are on the board. 192 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,000 It is a 6-0 football game, and they made it look rather easily as they went 68 yards to score. 193 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000 One big run by Earl Cooper, the rest of them on passes, and Montana sneaked it over, 194 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:48,000 and with 5.52 left here in the first quarter, it is 6-0 San Francisco. 195 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Now Montana will hold, Ray Wershing will attempt the extra point. 196 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000 The lines are down, the snap is put down, Wershing's kick is up, and it is good. 197 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:11,000 So there's time out on the field with a score of 49ers-7, and the Bengals nothing. 198 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000 49ers brought first blood in Super Bowl XVI, a 68-yard drive, 11 plays. 199 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000 They held the football for 5 minutes 58 seconds. 200 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Quarterback Joe Montana on a one-yard sneak for the touchdown. 201 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,000 Montana passed brilliantly, got great protection through the ball, 202 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000 well 5 out of 6 for 49 yards in that drive. 203 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000 Ray Wershing set the kickoff. 204 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000 Both Wershing and Breach went to the University of California. 205 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,000 There's Wershing's kick, he lines it down, it bounces at the 15, David Mercer picks it up at the 5. 206 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,000 It comes to the 10, comes to the 15, spun around, will be dropped at about the 18-yard line. 207 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000 Good tackle downfield by Rick Jervis, and a couple of others down there, Bobby Leopold along with Milt McCall. 208 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000 And the Bengals only got it back to the 19. 209 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000 It was a squid kick on purpose by Wershing, and they got pretty good coverage by the time Mercer picked the ball up. 210 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000 And the bounce at the 5-yard line, a 14-yard return. 211 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,000 And the Bengals trailing 7-0 start out at their own 19. 212 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000 They go with a 5 defensive backs, 4 defensive linemen, including Fred Dean. 213 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,000 So they've got that 4-2-5 in there. 214 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Willie Harper and Jack Reynolds are the linebackers. 215 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000 Collins-Worth left. 216 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Alexander comes outside of Curtis on the right side. 217 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,000 Anderson is back to throw, sets up a screen to Pete on the left side. 218 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Pete comes out to the 20, gets to the 22-yard line, will be knocked down there. 219 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,000 A good tackle by Bobby Leopold, but it looks as though Johnson might have a little running room. 220 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,000 They let the right side of the San Francisco line, including in Fred Dean, come in. 221 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000 And Anderson lobbed the ball over to Pete Johnson, but Leopold with a good tackle, cuts the game off at 3. 222 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000 It will be second down and 7, and the 49ers make a lot of defensive substitution. 223 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000 San Francisco really putting the pressure on Ken Anderson. 224 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000 He's been sacked once and pressured just about every other time he's tried to throw the football. 225 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000 He hasn't been able to fire down the field effectively yet. 226 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000 Collins-Worth left. Curtis to the right. 227 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000 He's got a running back there now. They take a split behind Anderson. It is second and 7. 228 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Kenny back to throw under that four-man rush. Looks out on the flat. 229 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,000 It's caught at the 15-yard line by Pete. 20, 25, 27-yard line. 230 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000 Before we give you a haul down by Archie Reese, the middle guard who got out there, 231 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000 along with Ronnie Lott, the cornerback on that side. 232 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Again out to maybe the 27. Let's see where Pat Haggarty puts it down. 233 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Right at the 27-yard line. It is again a 5. 234 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:38,000 And the Bengals now will be looking at a third and two as we have about four and a half minutes left to play in this first quarter. 235 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,000 The 49ers lead at 7-0. They bring three new men in now, including Fred Dean. 236 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000 Figuring it is a passing situation, third and two. 237 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000 The Bengals have two tight ends in as Collins-Worth comes out. 238 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000 The 49ers put five men up tight on that line of scrimmage. 239 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Two other linebackers right up close. 240 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Anderson fakes. Rolls out to the right. 241 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,000 That's the 25. It's up to the 30 and will go out of bounds and has the first down. 242 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Ronnie Lott is the guy that got over there and chased him out of bounds. 243 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000 There's that fake and that naked bootleg out to the right. 244 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000 And Anderson knew right where he had to go. 245 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:16,000 He picked up the first down with a yard to spare at the 30-yard line. He needed two. He got three. 246 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,000 Anderson was the Bengals' second leading rusher this year behind Pete Johnson with only even 300 yards. 247 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000 And that's far more than any other quarterback in the National Football League this year. 248 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Bill Walsh talked a lot this week about his fear of Ken Anderson's running ability. 249 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000 He made some inferences that the San Francisco 49ers might try to hit him low. 250 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000 I don't know who he was trying to intimidate. 251 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Curtis Wright, Collins-Worth left. 252 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000 Lott comes back off the line of scrimmage. 253 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000 Hand off into the line. Pete Johnson burrows his way into the left side. 254 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000 Finds the going right side. Finds the going tough. 255 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Makes maybe three up to about the 30 free before Pocky and Stucker and Archie Reese, the middle guard, can pile it up. 256 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:05,000 So Pete Johnson, who averaged almost eight yards to carry in the first ballgame against the 49ers, gets a short free at the 33. 257 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000 It will be second down and seven. Now Fred Dean is the fourth defensive lineman. 258 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000 They'll continue showing his different faces on defense because they'll bring new men in on just about every play. 259 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,000 Now we have a slot left with Curtis and Collins-Worth over that way. Alexander and Pete Johnson are in the backfield. 260 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000 Now Alexander comes in motion out to the right and Anderson will go back to play against that four-man rush. 261 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Now he rolls off to his left at the 35-yard line, slides down at about the 39, just about where he had to go for the first down. 262 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Over there was Eric Wright, who made sure that he was down right there. 263 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Munoz pushed Fred Dean to the outside and Anderson ran to the inside of him to his left and got over there close enough that they... 264 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Well, they're not going to bring in the change. It's going to be about two feet short of a first down, maybe a yard at the 39. 265 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:03,000 49ers are doing a physical job on Isaac Curtis at the moment, bumping him at the line of scrimmage, and Isaac is having trouble getting into his patterns at this point. 266 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000 So it is third down, short yardage, about a yard to go at the Bengals' 39. The 49ers jam up tightly, so do the Bengals. 267 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,000 They bring Bursar in motion, handoff, into the line at the feet, and he has the first down as he gets over the 40, 268 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000 to maybe the 41-yard line, stopped by Lott, middle guard Archie Reese. 269 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:27,000 How well you control the middle guard is the big factor in how your running game will go, and Blair Bush, who would help from either one of the guards, 270 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000 is the guy who is responsible for taking care of that middle man. 271 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Now John Hardy comes in as the defensive lineman as the 49ers just continue to change him. 272 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,000 The Bengals have a first down at their own 41. The 49ers lead at 7-0, and we have two minutes and five seconds left here in the first quarter. 273 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000 Collins-Worth left, Curtis will be to the right. 274 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000 Cornerbacks go back about 10 yards this time. Anderson goes back to throw. 275 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Look going long down the field, and send it for Collins-Worth. He can't get it, a good defensive play. 276 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000 Eric Wright knocked it down, way down at about the 12-yard line. 277 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:11,000 Right, right with Collins-Worth, got a hand up on the air, deflected the ball, and the first long bomb of the afternoon goes to Ry. 278 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,000 Anderson went on the straight fly pattern to Collins-Worth, who had single coverage from the rookie Eric Wright out of Missouri. 279 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:24,000 The ball was there, maybe hung a little bit, and a right with a diving tip knocked it away from the Bengal rookie out of Florida. 280 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,000 Great play by Eric Wright, he was actually beaten by a step on that play. 281 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:35,000 So Jim Stuckey comes in now, Dwayne Bord goes out. Alexander has come out, the Bengals go over the two tight ends. 282 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:43,000 Ross and M.L. Harris, one running back, and Curtis and Collins-Worth, again the cornerbacks about 10 yards deep as they bury that defensive front. 283 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:51,000 Anderson is back to throw, the blitz is on, fires over the sidelines, Collins-Worth catches it, but he did not have both feet in bounds. 284 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:59,000 At the 46-yard line on that rather deep out, Collins-Worth caught it in front of the 49ers bench, but could not get both feet in. 285 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Now the Bengals, stalled out at their own 41-yard line, have a third down and ten. It stops the clock with a minute and 46 seconds left in this first quarter. 286 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Difficult down and distance situation for Ken Anderson against the defense that rushes the quarterback and covers the receivers so well, as the 49ers do. 287 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:25,000 A third and ten is a nightmare play-calling situation, and Lindy Infante up in the press box is scratching his head, no doubt, making this call. 288 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:33,000 They put Fred Dean right behind the center, now they move him over toward the left side as he continues to move around, not wanting to show where he is going to come from. 289 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:39,000 A quick blitz is on, Anderson back to throw, has time, now he's going to be hit and dropped back at his 36. 290 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:51,000 No one open, well covered downfield. All the way down the middle, Isaac Curtis was covered, and he was nailed back there by linebacker Keena Turner, as the Bengals had the blitz going against them from San Francisco. 291 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Anderson sacked for the second time back at the 37. He loses four, and for the first time this afternoon, Pat McAnally will have to go into punt. 292 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:09,000 Actually, Cincinnati picked up the blitz pretty well, and Ken had quite a bit of time to throw the football, but his receivers were covered and probably made the right move in holding on to the football and taking the sack. 293 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,000 Three were downfield, and they were well covered. Solomon back, along with Dwight Hicks. 294 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:30,000 The line of scrimmage, the 37, a snap back to McAnally. Pat wobbles one off the side of his foot, it will bounce at about the 30-yard line, goes down to the 25 to the 20, a great bounce down inside the 10, and it'll be down right about at the 10-yard line. 295 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:46,000 So there's one of those lucky McAnally punts that he just hacked off the right side of his foot, got a great bounce of about another 20 yards. The 49ers will be starting out at their own 10. There's time out on the field with a score. The 49ers 7, the Bengals nothing. 296 00:24:46,000 --> 00:25:04,000 49ers 7, Bengals nothing with a minute one remaining in the first quarter of Super Bowl XVI from the Pontiac Silverdome. The Bengals held the football field for just under five minutes, but really couldn't get anything going, although they had a great chance to score on that deep one to Chris Collinsworth. 297 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Only the 49ers suck in possession at their own 10-yard line. They have the two wide receivers left and right. Now they go in an eye with Patton behind Cooper, and Joe Montana will go back to throw. Fires out in the flat, it's knocked down by Ken Riley in front of Dwight Clark, and Riley almost got an interception. 298 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:35,000 I think they anticipated the Bengals might blitz, and they did. At least Reggie Williams came in from the right side. Montana really got rid of the ball in a hurry. Clark only had time to make a shallow cut, and Kenny Riley dove right in front of him to knock the ball down. 299 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:51,000 Veteran Ken Riley did a great job on single coverage against the NFL's leading receiver Dwight Clark. Reggie Williams came from his right outside linebacking spot and knocked Joe Montana to the deck just as he released the football. They'll go with two tight ends now. He's ramped up to the second. 300 00:25:51,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Second and 10, the 49ers at their own 10. Patton and handoff is Ricky Patton. Wide around the right side, he's dragged back at the three-yard line by Ralph Browner. Browner really got away from Dan Audick, and on that sweep to the left, Browner burst through and nailed Ricky Patton all the way back at about the three- or four-yard line. 301 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:24,000 They will put it down at the three- or seven-yard loss. You know, I can always remember, Andy, old high school coach of mine used to say the most dangerous run in football is an end sweep, and especially when you're backed up against your own goal line. 302 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:39,000 And now the 49ers will have a third and 17. The Bengals will go to the nickel, and Tom Zinkel goes in as one of the other linebackers. 303 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:53,000 They have Ray Griffin in there. Hicks on the inside. Montana hands off at the five-yard line. Cooper gets up to the 10, the 12-yard line, a flag down on the play, and he will be dropped right there. So he gained about nine in the play. 304 00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:03,000 Louis Braden and Bobby Kemp up in the secondary hauled him down. A Bengals player is down on the ground injured. 305 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:16,000 It is one of the linebackers. All we can see is the number five from here. Bengals had too many men on the field. They're going to be penalized for having 12 men on the football field. We do have a Bengals linebacker down. 306 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,000 There is time out on the field with the score, the 49ers seven and the Bengals nothing. 307 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:34,000 They did a lot of shifting and they had too many men in there. The 49ers accepted the penalty, which moves the ball out to the eight-yard line. Now it will be third down and 12. But Tom Zinkel now, who was on his stomach, has rolled over on his back. 308 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:44,000 The Bengals doctors are out there taking a look at him, and we have a delay in play. Just five seconds left to play here in this first quarter. The 49ers lead at seven to nothing. 309 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:53,000 The Bengals continue to make substitutions. Ross Browner came off the field. Now he is going back. Mike St. Clair is in there. Eddie Edwards is in there. Burley is in there. 310 00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:09,000 Browner is in there, but Tom Zinkel is still down on the ground at the eight-yard line. And we can't see what they might be looking at. Zinkel now getting up to a sitting position, and it's possible that he just really had his bell rung. 311 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:16,000 Oh, he bent his neck as he ran into the tackler from the side. 312 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Well, there are a lot of Super Bowl parties going on back in Cincinnati, and there's one I've gone to down through the years. I'll say hello to Bill Fitzgerald and his crew over there watching the ball game today. 313 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Zinkel is up on his feet now. Standing out on the field, coming off under his own power, although Wally Tempramont is holding one arm. 314 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:46,000 And Zinkel, obviously, is a little shaky as he comes off the field. Bill, they're going to be listening to our broadcast of Super Bowl XVI over in the Solomon Islands. Bob King is in the Peace Corps there. 315 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:56,000 He's from Cincinnati, and his brother Peter writes for the Cincinnati Inquirer, and he is taping the game. He's going to send it over to his brother Bob, who's in the Peace Corps in the Solomon Islands in the Pacific. 316 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:07,000 Well, that's great. As many people as can hear the ball game around the world the better. It'll be third down and 12 for the 49ers now with their own eight. Buddy Solomon goes out to the right. 317 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:18,000 Zinkels have just four defensive backs in the ball game, four linemen, a handoff, Ricky Patton around the outside will get up to the 10 to the 12 yard line, and he'll be pulled down there. At this time, they will have to punt. 318 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:29,000 So he gains about four on his sweep off to the right. Mike St. Clair, one of those over to get him. And a couple of others to help out, including Ray Griffin, as the first quarter comes to an end. 319 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:35,000 That is the end of the first quarter with a score of the 49ers seven and the Bengals nothing. 320 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:50,000 After 15 minutes of football and Super Bowl 16, the 49ers lead the Bengals seven nothing. The 49ers touch down a one yard Joe Montana run, tapping off the 68 yard 11 play five minute and 58 second drive. 321 00:29:50,000 --> 00:30:10,000 First quarter statistics, the 49ers 65 yards total offense 49 past 16 run the Bengals only 33 yards in total offense 16 rushing and 27 passing Ken Anderson four out of seven that one big interception to pick off by Dwight Hicks, which started them off on their touchdown drive. 322 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:26,000 The ball is at the 12 yard line and Jim Miller, the barefooted second year man from Mississippi will be in the boot when we get things going. And that interception after the Bengals have recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff and it's taken down to the five were pushed back to the 11. 323 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:35,000 And then that interception really had to hype up the 49ers. They took the ball moved it right down the field and Miller standing now about three or four yards deep in the end zone. 324 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:47,000 Mike Fuller is the sole safety for the Bengals standing back near midfield Miller averaged about 41 and a half yards a punt this year. 325 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Randy Cross is the deep snapper gets the ball and it is almost blocked but he gets a good high kick away and Mike Fuller will take it back at the 45. 326 00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:10,000 Miller comes up the midfield we'll get right there and that is all so the Bengals have good field position as Miller hung up a high punt down under the cover first man down Amos Lawrence and the Bengals will take over just shy of the 50 yard line in their own territory. 327 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:28,000 The wide man on the right came in and just failed to block that punt by Miller Miller juggled a low snap and barely got the kick away as Triter came across and just barely missed getting a piece of the football. We've seen a lot of different 49er front here in this first quarter as they continue to shake things up. 328 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:48,000 We can use that Bengals offense Curtis goes to the right. Collins worth to the left both of them are a yard back now Collins worth goes in motion to the right side and the 49ers don't ship it's Pete Johnson on a cutback beat both his way about five yards in through that right side down to the 49ers 46 yard line. 329 00:31:48,000 --> 00:32:13,000 The Bengals with the six along with Archie Reese were the two men who made the tackle on Pete the flow went to the right not the cutback beat Johnson cut in behind him got the ball down to the 46 given five the Japanese radio broadcasters are next door to us Andy and they had their all their information up on the wall as to the times before the game and down to four fifteen to set kickoff must not be any Japanese word for kickoff. 330 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:25,000 What formation to the left the Bengals were the second and five on a whistle blows as the Bengals I believe want to call a timeout one of the two teams has called one here. 331 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Cincinnati it is the Bengals calling a timeout and there's timeout on the field with the score the 49ers seven the Bengals nothing. 332 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:55,000 The Bengals a bit shaky maybe a bit tentative here at the start of Super Bowl 16 that they had 12 men on the field and that last San Francisco drive and gave the 49ers an extra down after the penalty and then the Chris Collins worth it just wasted a time out the Bengals were in a wrong formation and I don't remember the Bengals wasting a time out like that all season long. 333 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:02,000 Well both Curtis and Collins worth were lined up as a flanker. 334 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:15,000 This time they're both back now Collins worth goes in motion same formation to this point Anderson goes back to throw it's a four man rush fires the downfield a dive and it was caught by Collins worth down on the 28 yard line trying to cover them back there was back. 335 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:26,000 So I ran a little as he came up with line backing spot and he only just dove in front of Ronnie lot to pull the ball down and Anderson really drilled that one in the keyhole between Reynolds a lot. 336 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,000 And it was a dive and a catch by Collins worth at the 28. 337 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:40,000 Collins worth came in motion right he was picked up by Carlton Williamson who was playing him soft and Chris with a quick cut into his lap made a diving grab for his first catch of the day. 338 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:55,000 That is the Bengals first down at the 49ers 28 49ers lead at seven nothing here early in the second quarter of Collins worth and Curtis are slotted to the left two running backs Alexander goes in motion to the right and a bangle lineman went across the field. 339 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:18,000 It was Dave Lapham before the ball had ever been snapped and he cut down Duane board and that is going to cost the Bengals five yards Bengals had nine penalties in that first game that really hurt now they get down to the 28 yard line Dave Lapham this is the count and it'll be a five yard walk off it will be first down in 15 now back at the 33 Bengals have had their opportunities early. 340 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:28,000 Both Louis Braden and Ken Riley have come close to interceptions and Chris Collins worth almost had a long bomb touchdown pass but Eric Wright knocked it right out of his fingers. 341 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000 So the Bengals have come short in some very close situations. 342 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:44,000 One of the interesting matchups of course is Anthony Munoz against Fred Dean when Dean is in the ballgame when he comes in Duane board the regular right end moves over to right tackle and generally will be the responsibility of lapham. 343 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:54,000 So first and 15 at the 33 Alexander out wide to the left the receivers split on opposite sides Anderson with a long count for man rush rolls back. 344 00:34:54,000 --> 00:35:13,000 Fires a downfield Ross did not quite hold out of the ball down at the 10 yard line. He made a one handed effort but apparently did not control the ball. He had drifted down deep but was off into the right flat and was open. He reached up with one hand came down maintaining that he had caught the ball. 345 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000 But the official said no he did not. 346 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:26,000 Ross had his man beat grabbed it with one hand but the ball bounced off the turf as he gathered it in. Ross was a big factor in the first game between these two teams. 347 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:39,000 Six or seven passes that is one of that is the second longest path that the Bengals have thrown all afternoon the go pattern to Collins worth had been the longest one this one down to the eight yard line and it was just about a foot too long. 348 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:53,000 That'll be second and 15 at the 49 or 33 Collins worth and Curtis on opposite sides Anderson is back to throw looks fire the town same place a flag and interference is going to be called. 349 00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:07,000 I think Curtis was bumped out of the 15 yard line by Lynn Thomas who had become the fifth defensive back and that bump along the 15 yard line was very very obvious and that will give the Bengals an automatic first down. 350 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:23,000 Lynn Thomas the rookie out of Pittsburgh had single coverage and it looked like he had a pretty good beat on Isaac Curtis but he bumped him with the shoulder and threw Curtis off stride before the ball got there and obvious interference called against the San Francisco defensive back. 351 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:38,000 That'll be a five yard penalty that will take the ball back to the original line of scrimmage at the 28 yard line and once again the Bengals will have a first down at that point here's Pat Haggerty. 352 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:54,000 So the Bengals who had a second and 15 now have a first and 10 at the 49 or 28 yard line the 49ers lead in the ballgame seven to nothing after the turnover the interception by Dwight Hicks down at the five that he ran out to the 32. 353 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:05,000 They proceeded 68 yards to score the first time they had the ball Eric right will have Collins worth to the left Ronnie lot well off the line of scrimmage at the right side on Curtis and a handoff into the line. 354 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:12,000 It's Alexander Charlie will get to about the 27 and that is about all a lot of white jersey 49ers around in there. 355 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Willie Harper the linebacker one of the first men to get to a very aggressive tackling by the 49ers Craig Puky was also in in the South they'll put it to 27 give Alexander one it will be second and nine. 356 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:41,000 Ken Anderson now has completed five out of nine for 45 yards he's thrown one interception he's completed only one of his last four passes that was the big one down inside the 30 to Chris Collins worth on this drive five defensive changes for the 49ers. 357 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000 Well 40 left here in the second quarter. 358 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000 One running back to tight ends to wide receivers. 359 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:57,000 Anderson is back to throw it's a four man rush looking fires a downfield five yard line and has caught down there by Collins worth. 360 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000 He lost the ball and the 49ers have a college where they're taking loose. 361 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:18,000 It looked as though he were down but coming up with a ball was salad and Martin and again rather Lynn Thomas and again the Bengals as they did in that first game that's down close only to lose the football and the 49ers will take over at their 362 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000 own seven yard line. 363 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:27,000 It was the deep post being run by Collins worth he caught the ball but then lost it as he was the process of being hit and going down. 364 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,000 There's time out on the field with the score. 365 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000 The 49ers seven and the Bengals nothing. 366 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:50,000 The Bengals commit their second turnover of the ballgame Chris Collins worth caught a Ken Anderson pass at the San Francisco five he was stripped of the ball by the rookie defensive back Eric Wright and Lynn Thomas another rookie defensive back for the 49ers recovered at the 367 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000 eight yard line. 368 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,000 So the Bengals have had terrible luck in turning the ball over against San Francisco. 369 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000 Give the Niner defense plenty of credit. 370 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,000 They hit like a ton of brick. 371 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000 It looks like a carbon copy of the first ballgame. 372 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:09,000 Johnny Davis and Bill Ringer the running backs now as the 49ers take over at their own eight handoff into the left side spinning away and just getting out to the nine yard line as Johnny Davis or short yard. 373 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:14,000 He's man the fourth year man from Alabama and he's pulled down by Wilson Whitley Reggie Williams. 374 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:21,000 Bo Harris Whitley really had the middle jammed up that time and there wasn't much room as Davis tried to cut back. 375 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,000 He got the ball to the nine yard line. 376 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,000 I believe we can't see it from here the way the Bengals are gathered around it. 377 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:34,000 But it will be second down and nine 49ers continue to play very conservatively deep in their own territory. 378 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000 I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled something tricky here though. 379 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,000 I have Clark in title wide receiver out to the left. 380 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:45,000 Montana will hand it off at his ring this time gets out to the ten yard line and he has pulled down right there. 381 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:52,000 A great play at that time by Ross Bronner who went right through the man who was leading the interference. 382 00:39:52,000 --> 00:40:03,000 John Ayers the guard who pulled out and Bronner went right through him and got to the ball carrier ring and it looked as though he may have pulled him down by his jersey just beyond the ten yard line after a game of a couple. 383 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000 It'll now be third down and seven. 384 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:18,000 It's the second series where the Niners have had terrible field positions starting at their own ten and their own eight and they've played it very close to the best keeping the ball on the ground afraid of that turnover so close to their own goal line. 385 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,000 Solomon and Clark come out wide to the right now they bring ring in motion. 386 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:29,000 Montana rolls out to his right is back to throw fires it up field and it's not about Solomon at the 31 yard line. 387 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,000 Ian Clark lined up on that side. 388 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000 Clark continued deep. 389 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:40,000 Solomon cut to the sideline and behind him and the 49ers are out of trouble with a pass play of about 20 yards out to the 31. 390 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,000 Montana rolled away to his right that time. 391 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:50,000 They sent them both down the right side and then Solomon cut to the sideline and they have a first and 10 at their own 31. 392 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,000 Looks like Freddie Solomon is OK. 393 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000 He's got three balls for 43 yards so far. 394 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000 Joe Montana six out of eight for 69. 395 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:05,000 Now they're back to the first bring running backs Cooper and Patton and they put Solomon and Clark on opposite sides the backs offset to the left. 396 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000 Montana is back to throw. 397 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:17,000 Now he's being flushed out of the pocket he's going to run he's at the 30 we'll get to about the 38 and go out of bounds there with Ross Browner his former teammate at Notre Dame and hot pursuit. 398 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,000 But give him about seven or eight yards on the run. 399 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,000 It was not designed that way. 400 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,000 No one opened and a heavy pass rush forced him out. 401 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000 And Montana turned it into an eight yard gain out to the 39. 402 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000 The 49ers lead at seven nothing. 403 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,000 Ten fifty two is the time remaining in the half. 404 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,000 And of course in the first ball game won by the 49ers 21 to 3. 405 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000 It was the only game this year that the Bengals have not scored a touchdown. 406 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000 Solomon goes out kind of favoring that left knee. 407 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:51,000 Mike Wilson comes in as the wide receiver first and 10 49ers at their own 39 slot left one wide receiver to the right. 408 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000 It's a pitch off Cooper coming to left. 409 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:58,000 He's at the 40 cuts into the 45 and all the way to the Bengals 48 yard line. 410 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:07,000 Ryan Hicks missed a tackle on him back at about the 43 and it sounds like booze but really they're saying poop poop like they do Pete. 411 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,000 Well the Bengals and Cameron and Breeden finally have to haul him down a run to the right. 412 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:18,000 He got past kicks bowled over midfield to the Bengals 48 yard line and that is a round of about 13 yards. 413 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:23,000 Now the 49ers can use all their offensive weapons and they have a very diversified offense. 414 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:28,000 They're out of the shadow of their own goalposts and they can really open things up the way they like to. 415 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,000 Mike Wilson comes to the right. White Clark goes left. 416 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:36,000 Running backs are Cooper and Pat. This time they offset to the right. 417 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,000 The ball is at the Bengals 48. Now they take a split behind Montana. 418 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,000 You'll give the ball up to Pat who cuts into the 45 and is knocked down at the 44. 419 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:51,000 Running in through the right side and he went down there in the grasp of safety Bobby Kemp. 420 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:57,000 So it is a game of about four yards however as he wiggled his way in through the right side. 421 00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000 And a game of four well make it about five as they put it down at the 43. 422 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,000 It will be second down and five. The clock ticking away down to 940. 423 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:11,000 Don't forget the Bengals official welcome home party tomorrow one o'clock on Fountain Square. 424 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,000 Solomon back at the ball game is to the right. Breeden has him. 425 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000 Dwight Clark with Riley on the left. Montana is back to throw. 426 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,000 Fires it out in the flat incomplete down at the 35. Solomon was out of bounds. 427 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,000 Before Montana could get the ball there. 428 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:28,000 Louis Breeden and Bo Harris had double coverage on them over at this side. 429 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:34,000 And at the Bengals 48 yard line now it becomes third down and five. 430 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:40,000 Ray Griffin, Burley and St. Clair check in as the Bengals will go now to the nickel defense. 431 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,000 Reggie Williams has been coming a lot from that right side. 432 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:50,000 But he is only the fourth man the Bengals really have not done a lot of blitzing in this ballgame. 433 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:55,000 The ball is at the Bengals 43 yard line. It is third down and five. 434 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,000 A lot left now they bring Clark in motion over to the right side. 435 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,000 Montana is back to throw. Now he's going to run back at his own 45. 436 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,000 Throws it upfield. It's caught by Clark at the 35 and he'll be knocked down at the 33. 437 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:12,000 Clark came back from downfield to meet the play as Montana was flushed out to his left. 438 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000 And Bo Harris and Lou Breeden finally got him. 439 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:21,000 But not until that broken play results in a first down down at the Bengals 32 yard line. 440 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,000 Great improvising by Dwight Clark. 441 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000 Bengals had Clark surrounded in the middle of the field. 442 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000 He made a quick cut to the outside though. 443 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,000 He and Montana just have a sixth sense about where each other is going to be. 444 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,000 And just a super catch by Clark as he gets the first down. 445 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000 Now Jim LeClair who was over the sideline checks back in. 446 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000 The ball is at the Bengals 32 yard line. A 49er first down. 447 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,000 Patten and Earl Cooper the running backs. 448 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,000 Now Wilson comes in motion to the right side. 449 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:53,000 A handoff into the line. A big hole and Ricky Patten thunders all the way down to the 22 yard line. 450 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,000 Ricky Patten with his head down. Both hands on the ball. 451 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,000 Just plunged right into the secondary and Riley and Hicks dropped him. 452 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,000 But not until he got very close to 10 yards on the play. 453 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000 The ball is just shy of the 22 yard line. 454 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,000 And it will be second down and less than a yard to go for the first down. 455 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000 Bengals missing a lot of tackles. 456 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,000 Bob Trumpy has just noted that Wilson Whitley is playing on a gimpy leg. 457 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,000 And Wilson has now been replaced at the nose tackle by Rod Hornibilly. 458 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:27,000 Now they have been alternating on these series in the last few ballgames. 459 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000 Second down and short yardage for the 49ers. 460 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000 It goes to Patten. He sneaks inside the 20s. 461 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,000 Straight up the middle to maybe the 18. 462 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000 And the 49ers again have the first down. 463 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,000 Nothing fancy. Just bugged his way right through the middle. 464 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000 LeClair and Reggie Williams brought him to a halt. 465 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000 And the 49ers leading 7-0. 466 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,000 Have a first down now at the Bengals 19 yard line. 467 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,000 Apparently Wilson Whitley has bruised or bumped the left knee. 468 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000 He's talking to Dr. Wally Temperman on the sidelines. 469 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000 I think he might have done something very early in the game 470 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:01,000 because it seemed like he was limping on that first Bengals defensive series. 471 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000 But he is out of the game and Rod Horn remains in the nose tackle. 472 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,000 Whitley has been having trouble with his elbow for a while. 473 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000 But now it is that right knee. 474 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000 Solomon goes in motion over to the left side. 475 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000 Montana on an end around. It goes to Dwight Clark. 476 00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,000 He's going to get to the 22 yard line. 477 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,000 It'll be dragged right down there by Louis Green. 478 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,000 The flag is down. 479 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000 A Bengal got a late hit along the sideline. 480 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,000 And that is going to be a personal foul. 481 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,000 Dwight Clark was out of bounds. 482 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,000 And that is a very, very costly one 483 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:36,000 because they had stopped the play for a loss of a couple of yards. 484 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000 And let's see if they're going to call a clip on the 49ers 485 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,000 or a late hit against the Bengals. 486 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000 We've had motions both ways from the teams. 487 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,000 We'll see what the officials do. 488 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,000 It was Jim LeClair who came in with a shoulder. 489 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000 Louis Breeden wrestled Clark out of bounds. 490 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,000 And the penalty will go against Cincinnati on the late hit by Jim LeClair. 491 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000 LeClair had a late hit, a costly one in the first ball game against the 49ers. 492 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,000 Number 55 defense, first down. 493 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,000 So it is first down now and the 49ers are down at the Bengals' 10 yard line. 494 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:16,000 They lead in the ball game, 7 to nothing with 7-0-1 left to play. 495 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000 49ers have a slot left. 496 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,000 Solomon and Clark. 497 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,000 Montana is back to throw. 498 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,000 Looks far as off into the flat. 499 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,000 It's caught by Cooper at the 5 touchdown. 500 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000 Earl Cooper drifted off into the left flat. 501 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000 Nobody picked him up over there. 502 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,000 And he caught the ball all by himself at the 5 yard line out on the left flat. 503 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,000 A couple of Bengals were at the goal line, but he pulled his way through them 504 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000 and the 49ers go out on top now by a score of 13 to nothing. 505 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,000 A 10 yard touchdown pass from Montana to Cooper. 506 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:55,000 And a very, very well conceived 49er offense has resulted in three or four 507 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,000 wide open receivers this afternoon. 508 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000 So far it is a carbon copy of the first game. 509 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,000 The Bengals got close only to lose the ball. 510 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,000 Worshing set to kick off. 511 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,000 Squibbs it along the ground. 512 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,000 It's picked up finally by Verser, drops the ball at the 7 yard line. 513 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000 At the 5 he's going to be hammered down back there. 514 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,000 A squib kick that the Bengals were unable to field. 515 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,000 They have a flag down on the play at about the 5 yard line. 516 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,000 Verser was hammered down at the 3. 517 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,000 Rick Jervis, one of the first men to get to him. 518 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:29,000 And let's see what this penalty flag is going to be. 519 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:34,000 Verser had trouble with it after a Bengal left the ball go right by him at the 15 yard line 520 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,000 where he had a good opportunity to pick it up but did not. 521 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,000 And as a result the Bengals are really in a deep hole. 522 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,000 See if we get an illegal push from behind. 523 00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,000 Also stopped by number 53, Milt McCull. 524 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:49,000 We do and the Bengals are going to find themselves back maybe at about the 2 yard line. 525 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,000 That's the second kickoff that Worshing has squibbed. 526 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,000 Obviously they know about David Verser's thumb injury. 527 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000 Just got the cast off today. 528 00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,000 And that time Verser had difficulty picking up that bouncing foot ball. 529 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,000 The Bengals are in brutal field position down at their own 2. 530 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,000 With 6 minutes and 42 seconds left in the half. 531 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:16,000 The Bengals got to get the ball out of there just as the 49ers did in the previous drive. 532 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,000 Pete Johnson is the sole back. 533 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:19,000 Curtis goes out to the right. 534 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,000 To the left side comes Collinsworth. 535 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,000 They have two tight ends in the ball game. 536 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,000 Anderson with a handoff. 537 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,000 Pete Johnson rips his way through the left side behind Munoz out to about the 6 yard line 538 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,000 where he's pulled down by Dwayne Borde. 539 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,000 Along with Hacksaw Reynolds, one of the inside linebackers. 540 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,000 Give Pete 4 on the play out to the 6. 541 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:46,000 It will be second down and 6. 542 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,000 The clock running 6.22 is the time left here on the first half. 543 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,000 The Bengals have to get on the scoreboard. 544 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,000 They trail 14 to nothing. 545 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,000 Stay with us during halftime. 546 00:49:54,000 --> 00:50:01,000 Bob Truppe will join me for an analysis of the first half of Super Bowl XVI. 547 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:02,000 Bengals ready to go. 548 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,000 The two wide receivers out to the left. 549 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,000 Second and 6 at their own 6. 550 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,000 Anderson goes back to throw. 551 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000 It's that four man rush. 552 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,000 Looks, fires it up. 553 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,000 The middle is caught by Ross at the 10. 554 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000 He'll cut to the 15 and has the first down. 555 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000 Danny Ross catching a pass right over the middle. 556 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,000 He came from the left side. 557 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,000 Cut over the middle. 558 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,000 Left to right. 559 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:24,000 Took the ball at about the 11 or 12 yard line and got it up to the 15. 560 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000 And the Bengals temporarily are out of trouble as they have a first down. 561 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,000 Second reception for Dan Ross. 562 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,000 Ken Anderson now 7 out of 11 for 76. 563 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:39,000 He's throwing one interception. 564 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000 Bengals come out with Collinsworth to the left. 565 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:42,000 Curtis out to the right. 566 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,000 One running back and the two tight ends. 567 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,000 Four defensive linemen in the ball game for the 49ers. 568 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,000 Fred Dean is the right end. 569 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,000 Boards at right tackle. 570 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,000 Anderson again back to throw. 571 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:52,000 Looks, fires out in the flat. 572 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000 Curtis can't hold on to it. 573 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000 A pass a little bit out in front of him. 574 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,000 Ronnie Lopp is over covering at about the 28 yard line. 575 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,000 Curtis may have gotten one hand on that ball but could not pull it in. 576 00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,000 So it will come back to the 15 yard line. 577 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,000 It will be second down and 10. 578 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,000 It stops the clock with 515 left here in the first half. 579 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:18,000 The Bengals have played the 49ers now for a total of 80 minutes of football. 580 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,000 In fact 85 and have not scored a touchdown. 581 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,000 Got a golden opportunity after recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff. 582 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000 But a quick interception ended that. 583 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,000 Second down and 10 Bengals at their own 15. 584 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,000 Munoz cut Dean back to throw as Anderson is in the grass. 585 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,000 Upfield it goes right through Dan Ross' hands at the 20 yard line. 586 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:45,000 A great bit of scrambling that time by Kenny Anderson to get away from one man. 587 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,000 And then Ross not quite expecting that quick flip. 588 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:55,000 Up about seven or eight yards and the usually sticky finger Dan Ross had that one go right through his hands. 589 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:59,000 He may have been able to work his way upfield for a first down had he held on to the ball. 590 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,000 He was about five yards beyond the line of scrimmage. 591 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,000 And now it becomes third down and 10. 592 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000 Bengals did a good job of picking up Fred Dean that time. 593 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,000 They had two people on him and Dean didn't get close to the quarterback. 594 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,000 So that's a positive sign for Cincinnati. 595 00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,000 Now Steve Crider in the ball game for the first second time as the third wide receiver. 596 00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:21,000 All three are to the left. 597 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,000 Four man rush back to throw Anderson upfield. 598 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,000 A dive and a catch at the 24 by Ross. 599 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,000 He was not down against the 25 and very close to what was needed for the first down. 600 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000 But I believe that he is going to be about a foot short. 601 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000 Let's see what they spot the ball. 602 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,000 He will be on a Bengals putting team goes on in. 603 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000 Ross is about two feet short of a first down. 604 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:50,000 As the nose of the ball is just short at the 25 yard line. 605 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:55,000 Forty nine or defensive backs are doing a good job in single coverage against the Bengals wide receivers. 606 00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:00,000 And that's allowed San Francisco to send a lot of people on the blitz and put pressure on the quarterback. 607 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,000 Good coverage by the San Francisco DB so far. 608 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,000 Fred Solomon and Dwight Hicks back in the vicinity of the 30. 609 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,000 Here's a snap back a big rush. 610 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,000 McAnally really gets a high lofting kick away. 611 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000 That Hicks will take at the 27. 612 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000 Comes up to the 30 to the 34 yard line. 613 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,000 It'll be knocked down at about the 33. 614 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,000 He just put his head down when he saw a lot of Bengals coming. 615 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,000 And rookie John Simmons along with Jim Hargrove there to get him. 616 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:34,000 There's time out on the field with a score of the 49ers 14 and the Bengals nothing. 617 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,000 The Bengals defense has not shown that it can stop the San Francisco offense. 618 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:43,000 The 49ers have driven 68 and 92 yards for touchdowns. 619 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:49,000 The only time the Bengals defense really stopped San Francisco was when the Niners were saddled with terrible field position. 620 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,000 And really couldn't show all the tools in their offense. 621 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,000 Now is the time right now. 622 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,000 They're at their own 34 yard line. Davis and Patton are the running backs. 623 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000 They send Solomon in motion to the left. A handoff fake handoff. 624 00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,000 Montana back to throw. Fires it up the middle. 625 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,000 It's caught by Clark and he is at midfield and down to the Bengals 49 yard line. 626 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,000 Bobby Kemp called him down. 627 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000 A good play action fake that time by Montana. 628 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:18,000 Dwight Clark catching those short range passes as he does so well. 629 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:24,000 Wines up with a gain of about 17 yards to the Bengals 49 yard line. 630 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,000 Just a short hook by Dwight Clark. 631 00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:33,000 He found that the seam in the zone over the middle. 632 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:34,000 Wide open. 633 00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,000 Ready to go. They have a slot left. 634 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,000 Handoff into the line. This time is Ricky Patton. 635 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:42,000 He hammers his way in the right side. Gets a couple of yards maybe to the 46. 636 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,000 And he has stopped there. Wilson Whitley. 637 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,000 Came over from the middle guard spot to make the tackle. Jim LeClair. 638 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:53,000 Also in there and the ball is short of the 46 yard line. 639 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,000 So it's a gain actually of about two and a half yards. 640 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,000 And it will be second down and seven and a half. 641 00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:02,000 The 49ers on top here by a score of 14 to nothing. 642 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,000 The Bengals have been closed twice. 643 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000 Only to lose the ball on an interception. The first time a fumble the second time. 644 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,000 We're down to about the three minute mark here in this first half. 645 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,000 Now they bring Mike Wilson and Dwight Clark to the right. 646 00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,000 Handoff again is Patton cutting back and he's got some room. 647 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,000 And as he gets down to the 40 down to the 39 yard line before Reggie Williams. 648 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000 And wrestled down his old high school teammate. 649 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,000 Some help from Ross Browner and is very close to the seven and a half yards they needed for the first down. 650 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:34,000 As the ball is just over the Bengals 40. It is at the 39 and it is the first down. 651 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:39,000 49ers are really attacking successfully on the ground between the tackles. 652 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,000 They're going right at Wilson Whitley who's back in the ball game. 653 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,000 Despite some sort of a slight knee injury. 654 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:52,000 In the first game they ran more outside but in this ball game they're attacking the middle of the Bengals defense successfully on the ground. 655 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,000 Time left to 15 here in the first half. 656 00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,000 The game has been dominated by the 49ers. 657 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:03,000 They have a tight formation here on the first and tenth. 658 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,000 Now Cooper moves over a step to his right and there's a big split behind Montana. 659 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000 Montana play action is back to throw. 660 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:14,000 Sets up a screen out to Cooper on the right at the 35 and he'll be shoved out of bounds right there. 661 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:17,000 Jim LeClair hit him first and then Louis Breeden came over to help out. 662 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:25,000 Just a little swing to the right to Cooper is good for maybe four yards down to the 35 yard line. 663 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,000 And it stops the clock as we are at the two minute warning. 664 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,000 There's time out on the field. 665 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,000 From Super Bowl 16 at the Pontiac Silver Dome. 666 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:36,000 San Francisco is really milking that clock bill. 667 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:42,000 Working it down the way they did in that final drive when they scored the winning touchdown against Dallas two weeks ago. 668 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:50,000 They know they have enough time to run the football and if they score they don't want the Bengals to have any time left to get a late one before the half. 669 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,000 They have all three timeouts remaining. 670 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:57,000 A minute fifty seven left and they have a second and six just toward the Bengal 35. 671 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,000 I send Charlie Young in motion over to left Montana back to throw the blitzes out. 672 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,000 He throws it in a hurry and the ball is incomplete. 673 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000 He threw it to Young. Glen Cameron nailed him. 674 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,000 The blitz was on that time. Bo Harris was coming up the middle. 675 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,000 Reggie Williams was coming and Montana really had to get that ball off in a hurry. 676 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,000 Let's pause fifteen seconds for station identification. 677 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:23,000 This is the Cincinnati Bengals football network. 678 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:32,000 Gary Burbank mornings. Debbie Conner mid-days. Jim LaBarbara afternoons. Bob Trumpy sports talk. Lin Riley evenings and talknet. 679 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:39,000 The new number one lineup in 82 from W.L.W. Cincinnati. 680 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,000 Now Braden and Riley have shifted sides and it's third and sixth. 681 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,000 Montana's back to throw again the blitz is on fires it up the middle. 682 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:59,000 The 25 yard line I believe it is a reception down there by Dwight Clark and he is really hammered and getting up rather slowly after he was nailed down there. 683 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,000 He ran a slant off the ball amidst a couple of Bengal men. 684 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:10,000 Riley had changed over from the right corner back to the left corner back spot to cover Clark man for man. Clark got to the inside. 685 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:15,000 Caught the ball at the first down at the 25. 686 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,000 Now Mike Schumann goes in to replace Clark who was shaken up slightly on the last play. 687 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:23,000 Freddie Solomon is the flanker off to the left. 688 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:26,000 And off to Ricky Patton running wide around the right side. 689 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:34,000 Ross Browner from behind can't slow him up but he does a little he gets inside the 25 and goes out of bounds at the 23. 690 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:42,000 Ross did a heck of a job he penetrated the interference in front of the running back Patton and got a hand on him and just shoved him out of bounds. 691 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:49,000 So again that good quickness by Browner made that slow developing San Francisco sweep really not to do too much. 692 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000 Well it took him time to get both guards pulling out that time. 693 00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:01,000 The Tigers and Randy Cross the lead the play it gained three yards to the 22 and it will be second down and seven and Dwight Clark is back on the ballgame. 694 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:06,000 He was only out for one play with a minute and six seconds left the 49ers lead at 14 to nothing. 695 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:10,000 They are down at the Bengals 22. 696 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:19,000 Solomon goes in motion from right to left. Clark is lined up tight in the left side a handoff to Cooper rips his way inside down to the short of the 15 yard line before Browner. 697 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,000 And Glenn Cameron could haul him down. He had a trap in there. 698 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,000 Now Montana looking for a timeout with 55 seconds left and gets it. 699 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:37,000 That run is good for about six yards to the 16 and it will be third down and less than a yard to go for the first down as the 49ers expend their first timeout. 700 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:41,000 They still have two remaining. They are inexorably on the move. 701 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:46,000 They put the ball back at their own 34 yard line after McAnally's punt. 702 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,000 They scored the last series they had a 10 yard pass from Montana to Cooper. 703 00:59:51,000 --> 01:00:00,000 And after the Bengals were unable to make a first down from deep in their own territory after that kickoff they took the punt and have come right back and are threatening again. 704 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,000 And Andy the Bengals can ill afford to be behind 21 to nothing even 17 to nothing 14 to nothing is bad enough. 705 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:18,000 The Bengals would have to come out of their game plan down 21 nothing at the half and fill the air with footballs and that certainly is not the way to beat the San Francisco 49ers. 706 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:28,000 The way they're running the football the 49ers show they can control the clock and if they know you're going to throw on every down San Francisco is going to be teeing off up front. 707 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:33,000 And with their opportunistic defensive backs it's going to be tough to overcome a three touchdown deficit. 708 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,000 So the Bengals have to come up big on defense here. 709 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:47,000 Their offensive line of Audick and Fonors to tackle their errors and cross the guards and Quillen at center has done an outstanding job of blocking the ball is at the 16 yard line. 710 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,000 It is only a matter of maybe a foot short of a first down. 711 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,000 The clock is down to 54 seconds left to play. 712 01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:03,000 49ers are getting six seven yards a crack on the runs and that's just setting up their passing game and really putting an awful lot of pressure on the Bengals defense. 713 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:10,000 Montana was over talking to head coach Bill Waltz and the 49ers in a huddle now ready to go. 714 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:11,000 Of course the Waltz story. 715 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:17,000 How he was with the Cincinnati Bengals for eight years has been rehashed over and over and over again this week. 716 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:25,000 Third down short yardage for the 49ers at the Bengals 16 Cooper and Patton offset to the left. 717 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,000 Dwight Clark is in tight. 718 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:31,000 So as young Montana on a keeper dives inside the 15 to the 14 and has the first down. 719 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,000 Montana scored their first touchdown on a one yard keeper play. 720 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,000 He gets the first down here. 721 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:40,000 Everybody in the middle piled in and brought him down on the stop. 722 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:45,000 So they'll go without a huddle this time as the clock is down to 37 seconds. 723 01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,000 All he sends Solomon out of the backfield over the left. 724 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,000 The Bengals are coming fires it over into the flat. 725 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:56,000 Solomon catches it and is wrestled out of bounds by breathing at the five Bengals again at a blitz on. 726 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,000 But they couldn't get to him. 727 01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:06,000 And Freddie Solomon who went in motion from the right over to the left just continued out into the left flat and Louis Braden had to wrestle him right down at the five yard line. 728 01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:15,000 That's about a nine yard game and it will be second down and one and it stops the clock with 29 seconds left to play in that first ballgame. 729 01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:22,000 They scored on a touchdown pass to Dwight Clark with just about three seconds left in the first half of the ballgame. 730 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:33,000 Now they're down knocking at the door with a 14 point lead and 29 seconds left at a second and about to make it at the Bengal five. 731 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:39,000 Montana rolling out to his right looking fires up failed at the goal line. 732 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:46,000 Ryan Hicks got a hit on Charlie our other Dwight Clark and then Cameron came up and finished him off. 733 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:50,000 And he popped up the ball right at the goal line. 734 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:57,000 That's the play that Maxie Vaughn the Lions defensive coordinator said for a story in a paper they probably would have something like that. 735 01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:06,000 Montana rolling out to his right and then looking for Clark that time Hicks may have got a hand on the ball but Clark could not hold on to it. 736 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,000 So at the five yard line it is now third and one. 737 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:16,000 Twenty three seconds left make a third and two twenty three seconds left in the half. 738 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:27,000 Montana again goes back to throw how he fires this one and this one he does throw away away as the blitz was on Charlie Young was the closest guy to a camera was hounding him. 739 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:35,000 Also went on top up with Eddie Edwards and the Bengals have held and now Ray Wershing will come in for an apparent field goal attempt with 18 seconds left. 740 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:46,000 Dwight Clark and he cutting along the end zone on that one that obviously was thrown away and Dwight Clark would have had to be 10 feet four inches tall to reach that one had he been in the vicinity. 741 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:52,000 I think the tight end Charlie Young was the nearest 49er and he was about 10 yards away. 742 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:58,000 That was definitely a throw away one of the NFL's most accurate field goal kickers Wershing will attempt the 22 yarder. 743 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,000 The ball is up and it is good. 744 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:12,000 With just 15 seconds left Ray Wershing gets a 23 yard field goal and the 49ers firing something quick by the Bengals are going into the dressing room with a large lead. 745 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,000 It is 17 to nothing. 746 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,000 That was a 22 yard field goal. 747 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:27,000 Wershing has not missed under 30 yards all year long and it is 17 to nothing with just 15 seconds left here in this first half. 748 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:35,000 The Bengals have coughed up the ball a couple of times and the 49ers have been able to roll down the field with both of them. 749 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:42,000 It was not exactly a quick turnover that set it up because they moved 92 yards with the ball one time after they got the fumble. 750 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,000 They moved 68 yards the other time. 751 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:53,000 Montana getting a tremendous amount of time to throw the ball and he has completed 12 of 18 for 126 yards. 752 01:04:53,000 --> 01:05:03,000 Four receptions by Dwight Clark, all of them big ones, all third down catches to keep drives going and Freddie Solomon has caught four for 52. 753 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:09,000 This time the Bengals wedge men are talking things over to O'Bravik, Archie Griffin and Blake Moore. 754 01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:20,000 The last time the Bengals really got into a deep hole when one of the wedge men just like the kickoff bounced right by him and the Bengals couldn't feel the ball until Verser picked it up down about the five. 755 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,000 He was knocked down at the four. 756 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:34,000 The Bengals were penalized to the two and really have themselves a problem and that punch resulting from that series eventually led to this late San Francisco field goal. 757 01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,000 So now Wershing will kick off for the third time. 758 01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:43,000 He has squibbed the first two lined up. 759 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000 Wershing set to kick off again. 760 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,000 He'll squib it along the ground. 761 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:52,000 The Bengals are going to be picked up by Archie Griffin drops it and Archie finally gets the ball is knocked out. 762 01:05:52,000 --> 01:06:06,000 It is loose and let's see who else at the big scramble down at the four yard line and the Bengals playing kick the can with the ball and the 49ers may have it. 763 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:21,000 I don't know if I can signal that way but a big scramble down there the Bengals just cannot get their hands on those bouncing kickoff pushing and shoving around down there. 764 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:39,000 He is mad and the 49ers do have the ball down at about the four yard line. The last man up off the bottom of the pile is number 53 milk McCall with five seconds left working is going to try a field goal right here instead of just flopping on the ball and being safe. 765 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,840 the ball was in the air and 766 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,240 Griffin tried to pick it up 767 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:43,200 tried to run with it. 768 01:06:43,540 --> 01:06:44,980 The ball got away from me was 769 01:06:44,980 --> 01:06:46,740 hit just as he was in the 770 01:06:46,740 --> 01:06:48,680 process of picking it up and the 771 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,420 49ers McCall recovered at the 772 01:06:50,420 --> 01:06:51,420 five yard line. 773 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,220 They'll make it the four yard 774 01:06:53,220 --> 01:06:53,520 line. 775 01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,520 So we're seeing just 10 seconds 776 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,560 go kick the 22 yard field goal. 777 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:06,200 This one will be about 21 Joe 778 01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:08,940 Montana will hold the Bengals 779 01:07:08,940 --> 01:07:09,640 off the side. 780 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:10,940 Let's see if they were drawn. 781 01:07:13,540 --> 01:07:14,940 It is much more than an extra 782 01:07:14,940 --> 01:07:15,940 point attempt right here. 783 01:07:15,980 --> 01:07:17,540 They were drawn off side by a 784 01:07:17,540 --> 01:07:19,740 couple of San Francisco linemen 785 01:07:19,780 --> 01:07:20,480 down this short. 786 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:21,620 It doesn't make much difference. 787 01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,060 So the Bengals hoping to hold 788 01:07:26,060 --> 01:07:27,380 them off and not be behind any 789 01:07:27,380 --> 01:07:29,260 more than 14 to nothing find 790 01:07:29,260 --> 01:07:30,660 themselves now with a very 791 01:07:30,660 --> 01:07:32,220 likely possibility that they'll 792 01:07:32,220 --> 01:07:33,720 be trailing 20 to nothing at the 793 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:34,720 end of this first half. 794 01:07:35,500 --> 01:07:36,560 So the ball has moved back to 795 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:37,400 the nine yard line. 796 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:38,740 Montana will put this one down 797 01:07:38,740 --> 01:07:40,000 and then the Bengals will go 798 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:40,960 to the 16. 799 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,240 This will be a 26 yard attempt 800 01:07:43,500 --> 01:07:44,940 worshiping to a couple fingers 801 01:07:44,940 --> 01:07:46,400 by the Bengals on a kickoff that 802 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:47,840 really hurt him where he's picked 803 01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:49,040 up and it is good. 804 01:07:49,780 --> 01:07:51,140 So with only two seconds left 805 01:07:51,140 --> 01:07:52,880 it is a 20 to nothing football 806 01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:53,280 game. 807 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,080 Worthing gets a second field 808 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,320 goal and about a 13 second 809 01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:57,820 period. 810 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:02,360 The 49er fans on the far side of 811 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,060 the field really up and Archie 812 01:08:05,060 --> 01:08:06,660 Griffin made a very tactical 813 01:08:06,660 --> 01:08:08,700 error that time by not falling 814 01:08:08,700 --> 01:08:11,100 off the field and making sure 815 01:08:11,100 --> 01:08:12,260 that the Bengals got the ball. 816 01:08:12,300 --> 01:08:13,740 I got away from him when he 817 01:08:13,740 --> 01:08:14,500 tried to pick it up. 818 01:08:14,540 --> 01:08:16,640 He was nailed and the 49ers 819 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:17,700 wind up with the ball and get a 820 01:08:17,700 --> 01:08:19,140 quick field goal to make it 20 821 01:08:19,140 --> 01:08:19,680 to nothing. 822 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,380 49ers certainly are opportunistic 823 01:08:22,940 --> 01:08:26,320 they were way plus in turnovers. 824 01:08:26,340 --> 01:08:27,420 In fact they led the national 825 01:08:27,420 --> 01:08:29,080 football league and plus 23 in 826 01:08:29,080 --> 01:08:30,880 the turnover department this 827 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,080 season and their plus two in 828 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:32,780 this ballgame. 829 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:34,760 Then goes a fumble twice and 830 01:08:35,060 --> 01:08:36,460 thrown one interception the 831 01:08:36,460 --> 01:08:39,500 other with the one Turner 832 01:08:39,700 --> 01:08:41,860 turnover so far that the Bengals 833 01:08:41,860 --> 01:08:43,100 weren't able to capitalize on. 834 01:08:43,300 --> 01:08:44,840 So San Francisco is staying in 835 01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:45,140 form. 836 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:46,340 They've been opportunists all 837 01:08:46,340 --> 01:08:47,900 year and they continue in this 838 01:08:47,900 --> 01:08:48,160 game. 839 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:49,840 They got three turnovers three 840 01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:51,480 of them have resulted in scores 841 01:08:51,480 --> 01:08:52,600 after they got the ball. 842 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:55,680 Now this time Griffin drops out 843 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:56,840 of the wedge and drops back at 844 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:58,040 about the 10 yard line. 845 01:08:58,580 --> 01:08:59,920 They obviously do not want to 846 01:08:59,920 --> 01:09:01,080 kick that ball to Bursar. 847 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,560 They have not in three kickoffs. 848 01:09:03,580 --> 01:09:04,520 Let's see about this one. 849 01:09:04,860 --> 01:09:06,260 This one again is swept along 850 01:09:06,260 --> 01:09:08,660 the line and the Bengals would 851 01:09:08,660 --> 01:09:10,420 just flop on this ball and have 852 01:09:10,420 --> 01:09:11,860 it at the 28 yard line. 853 01:09:12,420 --> 01:09:14,600 And again some players out there 854 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,060 pushing and shoving a little bit 855 01:09:17,460 --> 01:09:18,960 Tina Turner is all hot to get in 856 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:19,040 there. 857 01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:20,540 He wasn't involved in the first 858 01:09:20,540 --> 01:09:21,840 place but the first half has 859 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,480 come to a close and this is a 860 01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:26,100 20 to nothing football game and 861 01:09:26,100 --> 01:09:27,180 the Bengals are going to have to 862 01:09:27,180 --> 01:09:28,740 have a tremendous second half. 863 01:09:29,140 --> 01:09:30,540 If they're to get back into this 864 01:09:31,140 --> 01:09:32,580 Andy McQua Williams will join us 865 01:09:32,580 --> 01:09:32,920 shortly. 866 01:09:33,140 --> 01:09:34,820 We'll have it a long half time. 867 01:09:34,820 --> 01:09:36,460 He'll analyze the first half of 868 01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:37,820 today's game and a half time 869 01:09:37,820 --> 01:09:39,600 activities are scored at half 870 01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:41,500 time here at the Silver Dome is 871 01:09:41,500 --> 01:09:43,960 the 49ers 20 and the Bengals 872 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,560 nothing Bengals frail 20 to 873 01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:47,940 nothing. 874 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:49,140 They have played 90 minutes of 875 01:09:49,140 --> 01:09:51,100 football against the 49ers and 876 01:09:51,100 --> 01:09:53,180 have not yet scored a touchdown. 877 01:09:53,540 --> 01:09:55,240 They were down close twice only 878 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:56,840 to lose the ball and that of 879 01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:58,180 course gave them a gift field 880 01:09:58,180 --> 01:09:59,140 goal right at the end of the 881 01:09:59,140 --> 01:09:59,780 first half. 882 01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:01,720 That's the biggest margin any 883 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,080 team has ever had at half time 884 01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,580 in a Super Bowl and of course no 885 01:10:05,580 --> 01:10:06,920 team has ever come back from a 886 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:08,220 deficit like this to win the 887 01:10:08,220 --> 01:10:08,820 Super Bowl. 888 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,460 The Bengals big problem basically 889 01:10:11,460 --> 01:10:13,160 against the 49ers is they just 890 01:10:13,160 --> 01:10:14,720 cannot get the ball in the end 891 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:15,020 zone. 892 01:10:15,420 --> 01:10:17,600 The 49ers offensive line tackled 893 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,500 a tackle has done an outstanding 894 01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:19,900 job. 895 01:10:20,140 --> 01:10:22,160 The Bengals only had 99 yards in 896 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:23,440 the first half of the ballgame 897 01:10:23,740 --> 01:10:26,300 and only 26 of those came on 898 01:10:26,300 --> 01:10:28,680 rushing on the Bengals will get 899 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:29,940 the ball to start this second 900 01:10:29,940 --> 01:10:32,880 half as the 49ers fumble the 901 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:34,280 opening kickoff and the Bengals 902 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,580 were not able to turn it into 903 01:10:35,580 --> 01:10:36,180 anything. 904 01:10:36,580 --> 01:10:37,620 They wound up getting an 905 01:10:37,620 --> 01:10:39,060 interception that was run back 906 01:10:39,060 --> 01:10:40,860 by Dwight Hicks to the 32 yard 907 01:10:40,860 --> 01:10:43,160 line and from there they went 68 908 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:44,620 yards to score and they were off 909 01:10:44,620 --> 01:10:45,120 and running. 910 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:46,620 The Bengals are going to really 911 01:10:46,620 --> 01:10:47,760 have to put the ball up in the 912 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:48,020 air. 913 01:10:48,260 --> 01:10:49,560 They only had the ball for 23 914 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:50,720 plays in the first half of the 915 01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,640 ballgame and are going to have 916 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,540 to go to the air undoubtedly in 917 01:10:55,540 --> 01:10:56,400 that first half. 918 01:10:56,700 --> 01:10:59,640 McAnally punted twice and Miller 919 01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:01,040 only had to punt once in the 920 01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:01,540 ballgame. 921 01:11:01,540 --> 01:11:03,240 The Bengals are 49ers with two 922 01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,200 penalties and the Bengals with 923 01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:05,540 five. 924 01:11:05,780 --> 01:11:07,140 They have nine in the first game 925 01:11:07,380 --> 01:11:09,280 and it's all too reminiscent of 926 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,040 that first game and it's going to 927 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:12,380 be interesting to see what kind 928 01:11:12,380 --> 01:11:14,180 of kickoff strategy San Francisco 929 01:11:14,180 --> 01:11:15,380 employees I imagine they'll 930 01:11:15,380 --> 01:11:16,220 squib the ball again. 931 01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:17,620 They've had excellent success 932 01:11:17,620 --> 01:11:19,280 and just bouncing the ball 933 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,580 forcing that one fumble that led 934 01:11:21,580 --> 01:11:22,760 to their second field goal in 935 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:24,760 their final score and the Bengals 936 01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:26,120 just have not been able to handle 937 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:26,820 that play at all. 938 01:11:27,700 --> 01:11:29,300 They've kicked off four times all 939 01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:31,360 four have been squib kicks and a 940 01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:32,400 couple of great players. 941 01:11:32,440 --> 01:11:33,740 They definitely want to get this 942 01:11:33,740 --> 01:11:36,340 ball on the opening kickoff here 943 01:11:36,340 --> 01:11:37,740 of the second half and move it 944 01:11:37,740 --> 01:11:38,740 down the field if they're going 945 01:11:38,740 --> 01:11:39,940 to have a chance to really get 946 01:11:39,940 --> 01:11:41,080 that ball into the end zone to 947 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:42,680 get themselves a quick touchdown. 948 01:11:42,940 --> 01:11:44,240 Bengals need some breaks some 949 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:45,620 big plays to give them a 950 01:11:45,620 --> 01:11:46,880 psychological lift. 951 01:11:47,220 --> 01:11:48,880 They need some light at the end 952 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,020 of the tunnel and hopefully it 953 01:11:50,020 --> 01:11:51,360 won't be a train coming at them 954 01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:52,220 at 90 miles an hour. 955 01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:53,280 There have been a couple of 956 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,020 tremendous breakdowns on pass 957 01:11:55,020 --> 01:11:56,020 defense the Earl Cooper 958 01:11:56,020 --> 01:11:58,200 touchdown the pass that Solomon 959 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,060 took down to the five yard line 960 01:12:00,060 -->

pick up Cooper the Bengals were 964 01:12:05,180 --> 01:12:06,200 in a man to man defense 965 01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:07,740 naturally down at the 10 yard 966 01:12:07,740 --> 01:12:10,040 line or the

in at 1160 01:17:58,780 --> 01:18:01,220 the 23 that will cost him half 1161 01:18:01,220 --> 01:18:02,260 the distance to the goal line 1162 01:18:02,260 --> 01:18:04,920 right there Curtis was down on 1163 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:06,420 the ground after diving to come 1164 01:18:06,420 --> 01:18:08,860 up with a ball and then Eric 1165 01:18:08,860 --> 01:18:14,500 Wright slammed into him gave him 1166 01:18:14,500 --> 01:18:16,000 the helmet a very obvious 1167 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:17,540 flagrant foul something that 1168 01:18:17,540 --> 01:18:20,000 Eric Wright is very good at 1169 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,200 doing the ball will be at the 1170 01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,740 eleven it'll be first down there 1171 01:18:23,740 --> 01:18:26,140 was a 49er linebacker lurking 1172 01:18:26,140 --> 01:18:27,480 around Ken Anderson on that 1173 01:18:27,480 --> 01:18:28,940 pitch back from Archie Griffin 1174 01:18:28,940 --> 01:18:30,220 and Dave Lappham made the big 1175 01:18:30,220 --> 01:18:32,020 block to blow that linebacker 1176 01:18:32,020 --> 01:18:33,020 right out of there and give 1177 01:18:33,020 --> 01:18:34,320 Anderson time to throw the ball 1178 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:35,780 to Curtis the Bengals have been 1179 01:18:35,780 --> 01:18:37,120 down here this close a couple of 1180 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,020 times as Anderson signals for 1181 01:18:39,020 --> 01:18:40,600 quiet they have been down there 1182 01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:41,920 only to turn the ball away now 1183 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:43,300 Collins worth and Curtis are 1184 01:18:43,300 --> 01:18:45,200 right and right comes over to 1185 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,400 help lot out on that side and 1186 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:49,800 off into the line Alexander's 1187 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,060 Archie Griffin Archie on his 1188 01:18:51,060 --> 01:18:52,400 feet gets to the seven yard 1189 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,080 line and I'll be a stop there 1190 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,840 standing up Griffin was hit 1191 01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:58,380 bounce off the tackler at about 1192 01:18:58,380 --> 01:19:01,080 the 10 then motor down to 1193 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:02,440 somewhere the vicinity of a 1194 01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:03,940 seven yard line before Dwight 1195 01:19:03,940 --> 01:19:05,920 Hicks was able to stop him it 1196 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,280 will be a gain of about four and 1197 01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,080 it will be second down and say 1198 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:11,760 so Archie Griffin has figured 1199 01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:13,120 prominently in the last two 1200 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,520 plays he was the man who pitched 1201 01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:15,960 it back to Ken Anderson and he 1202 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:17,860 carried the football there on 1203 01:19:17,860 --> 01:19:20,200 first down to give Cincinnati a 1204 01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,300 good position to operate now the 1205 01:19:22,300 --> 01:19:23,440 Bengals can get this quick 1206 01:19:23,440 --> 01:19:25,240 score there still is some hope 1207 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,840 they trail 20 to nothing now a 1208 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:29,140 double wing formation to the 1209 01:19:29,140 --> 01:19:31,780 left Anderson with the pitch 1210 01:19:31,780 --> 01:19:33,140 back at Pete Johnson running 1211 01:19:33,140 --> 01:19:35,280 left feet at the 10 get down to 1212 01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:36,740 the seven to the six maybe the 1213 01:19:36,740 --> 01:19:38,120 five yard line before about 1214 01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:39,720 three forty nine is led by Craig 1215 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,880 Pukki and Fred Dean Russell and 1216 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,820 down he ran to his left the end 1217 01:19:43,820 --> 01:19:45,120 at which Dean is playing now the 1218 01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:46,660 Bengals are going to be looking 1219 01:19:46,660 --> 01:19:49,000 at a third down and still about 1220 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:50,460 five yards to go for the first 1221 01:19:50,460 --> 01:19:52,560 down the ball at the six Bengals 1222 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:54,140 have had their most success on 1223 01:19:54,140 --> 01:19:55,660 this drive running right away 1224 01:19:55,660 --> 01:20:00,380 from Fred Dean Dean is not a 1225 01:20:00,380 --> 01:20:02,900 real tough man against the run 1226 01:20:02,900 --> 01:20:04,380 himself he got a lot of help 1227 01:20:04,380 --> 01:20:05,640 with some good pursuit out there 1228 01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:06,840 that time and here is the big 1229 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:13,620 third and five play at the six 1230 01:20:13,620 --> 01:20:15,060 Bengals have three men lined up 1231 01:20:15,060 --> 01:20:16,080 and what looks like an old 1232 01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,060 fashioned tee Curtis will come 1233 01:20:18,060 --> 01:20:19,320 out motion and Anderson will go 1234 01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,320 back to throw he's going to run 1235 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:29,240 down five touchdowns and the 1236 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:30,540 Bengals finally get on the 1237 01:20:30,540 --> 01:20:34,600 scoreboard 49 or down on the goal 1238 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:35,800 line is taken off where he was 1239 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,480 hit by one of his own teammates 1240 01:20:37,480 --> 01:20:39,880 so Kenny Anderson runs six yards 1241 01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:41,740 for a touchdown and the Bengals 1242 01:20:41,740 --> 01:20:43,320 have scored the first touchdown 1243 01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,280 this year in two games against 1244 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,280 the San Francisco 49ers you can 1245 01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:48,480 see the big hole in the middle 1246 01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:50,460 Andy and what he saw he just 1247 01:20:50,460 --> 01:20:52,520 decided to go an eighty three 1248 01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:54,120 yard drive for Cincinnati they 1249 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:55,460 take three minutes and thirty 1250 01:20:55,460 --> 01:20:57,500 five seconds to get right back 1251 01:20:57,500 --> 01:20:58,860 into this football game great 1252 01:20:58,860 --> 01:21:00,660 defense and the third quarter 1253 01:21:00,660 --> 01:21:01,960 Anderson showed a lot of 1254 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,200 courage running into the teeth 1255 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:04,800 of that 49er defense so 1256 01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:06,140 credible hold Jim Breach will 1257 01:21:06,140 --> 01:21:07,940 attempt the extra point the 1258 01:21:07,940 --> 01:21:10,500 lines are down this might be a 1259 01:21:10,500 --> 01:21:12,280 big one it is 20 to 6 the ball 1260 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:13,880 is spotted down Breach's pick is 1261 01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:15,840 up and it's good flag down on 1262 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:21,720 the play hold the telephone Pat 1263 01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,080 Haggerty consulting and the 1264 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:24,260 Bengals holding their hands up 1265 01:21:24,260 --> 01:21:25,520 to indicate that the penalty is 1266 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,020 against San Francisco illegal 1267 01:21:28,020 --> 01:21:29,520 football team and the Bengals 1268 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,020 have scored the first two 1269 01:21:31,020 --> 01:21:32,300 minutes and thirty five seconds 1270 01:21:32,300 --> 01:21:33,800 and they've got too many men on 1271 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,800 the field so there's time on the 1272 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:37,300 field with a score now the 1273 01:21:37,300 --> 01:21:41,800 49ers 20 and the Bengals seven 1274 01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,240 so the 49ers made the mistakes 1275 01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:45,600 on that drive they couldn't 1276 01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:47,280 handle the Bengal running game 1277 01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:48,680 and that set up the Bengal 1278 01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:50,740 passing game San Francisco took 1279 01:21:50,740 --> 01:21:52,780 two very costly penalties that 1280 01:21:52,780 --> 01:21:54,420 face mask early on and then the 1281 01:21:54,420 --> 01:21:56,180 late hit penalty after the 1282 01:21:56,180 --> 01:21:57,980 completion to Isaac Curtis saw 1283 01:21:57,980 --> 01:21:59,980 the opening game obviously that 1284 01:21:59,980 --> 01:22:01,960 opening game fumble by Amos 1285 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,020 Lawrence the penalty is being 1286 01:22:04,020 --> 01:22:05,120 marked off in the kickoff so 1287 01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,260 reach will kick from the 40 1288 01:22:06,260 --> 01:22:07,460 Lawrence fumble the opening 1289 01:22:07,460 --> 01:22:08,700 kickoff he is not in there to 1290 01:22:08,700 --> 01:22:10,100 receive the second kickoff and 1291 01:22:10,100 --> 01:22:12,040 his white heck along with Bill 1292 01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:14,340 Rink Breach will kick from the 40 1293 01:22:14,340 --> 01:22:15,800 yard line and Tom Zinkelo was 1294 01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,140 shaken up on the first half is 1295 01:22:17,140 --> 01:22:22,540 back in the ball so Breach gets 1296 01:22:22,540 --> 01:22:24,840 up to kick off hammers it down 1297 01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:26,420 it's a number that bounces at 1298 01:22:26,420 --> 01:22:27,780 the five yard line would you 1299 01:22:27,780 --> 01:22:28,980 know the ball is going to be 1300 01:22:28,980 --> 01:22:30,380 thrown in the net before it gets 1301 01:22:30,380 --> 01:22:32,360 to the goal line and the Bengals 1302 01:22:32,780 --> 01:22:34,020 for the second time I've tried 1303 01:22:34,020 --> 01:22:35,300 to kick that ball to the left 1304 01:22:38,620 --> 01:22:40,400 now we get a ball is going to be 1305 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:41,800 called on Bobby Leopold 1306 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:43,100 apparently a personal foul 1307 01:22:43,100 --> 01:22:44,300 something over the far side of 1308 01:22:44,300 --> 01:22:45,760 the field away from the action 1309 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,900 out near the 30 yard line and 1310 01:22:48,900 --> 01:22:49,800 let's see what we're going to 1311 01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,140 get on the call from Pat Haggerty 1312 01:22:51,140 --> 01:22:52,240 and how those two are going to 1313 01:22:52,240 --> 01:23:01,220 play the ball will come back 1314 01:23:01,220 --> 01:23:15,100 here's Pat Haggerty a personal 1315 01:23:15,100 --> 01:23:17,700 foul number 52 after the play 1316 01:23:17,700 --> 01:23:19,800 was over a 15 yard penalty we 1317 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,000 have a 15 yard penalty only so 1318 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:24,300 there is the first time this 1319 01:23:24,300 --> 01:23:26,240 year that I can remember that 1320 01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:27,580 that rule that was changed about 1321 01:23:27,580 --> 01:23:29,320 three years ago where a 15 yard 1322 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,320 penalty has precedent over a 1323 01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,580 five so despite the fact that 1324 01:23:33,580 --> 01:23:34,880 the ball was kicked out of bound 1325 01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,060 this kickoff will come from the 1326 01:23:36,060 --> 01:23:38,120 forty five yard line without a 1327 01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:40,360 doubt it should be so buried so 1328 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:41,820 far into the end zone that 1329 01:23:41,820 --> 01:23:43,160 there'll be no run back or 1330 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:44,620 possibly they might try an on 1331 01:23:44,620 --> 01:23:46,760 side kick twenty to seven now 1332 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,060 the Bengals got back in it and 1333 01:23:49,060 --> 01:23:50,440 the Bengals and the Bengals 1334 01:23:50,440 --> 01:23:51,860 fans team is going to come in 1335 01:23:51,860 --> 01:23:53,240 for San Francisco they're 1336 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:55,040 expecting that they might see an 1337 01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,100 on side kick attempt Bengals 1338 01:23:57,100 --> 01:23:58,540 took three minutes and forty one 1339 01:23:58,540 --> 01:24:00,640 seconds to score a touchdown and 1340 01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,240 it is twenty to seven then the 1341 01:24:02,240 --> 01:24:03,820 head coach for us Greg and 1342 01:24:03,820 --> 01:24:05,220 special teams coach Bruce 1343 01:24:05,220 --> 01:24:06,420 Coslet have just completed a 1344 01:24:06,420 --> 01:24:08,080 discussion with Tom Dinkle 1345 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:09,620 special teams captain and Rick 1346 01:24:09,620 --> 01:24:11,480 Rosano so the Bengals might have 1347 01:24:11,480 --> 01:24:13,020 a rabbit up their sleeve or 1348 01:24:13,020 --> 01:24:14,260 something up their sleeve here 1349 01:24:14,260 --> 01:24:15,660 in this play well then go the 1350 01:24:15,660 --> 01:24:17,500 49ers are looking for an on side 1351 01:24:17,500 --> 01:24:19,420 kickoff reception unit they have 1352 01:24:19,420 --> 01:24:20,760 the guys with the good hands in 1353 01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,200 there now Bill Ring is up there 1354 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:24,260 Dwight Hicks Charlie Young 1355 01:24:24,300 --> 01:24:26,400 Leopold the kickoff will come 1356 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,300 from the 49ers forty five yard 1357 01:24:28,300 --> 01:24:30,340 line so let's see what they do 1358 01:24:30,640 -->

01:25:01,740 --> 01:25:03,240 hurried a few times he wound up 1374 01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,280 hitting 12 out of 18 for one 1375 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:06,480 hundred thirty two yards an 1376 01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:08,180 average of about seven yards and 1377 01:25:08,180 --> 01:25:10,120 a tenth now Freddie Solomon 1378 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:11,420 definitely favoring that left 1379 01:25:11,420 --> 01:25:13,280 leg comes out to the left white 1380 01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:14,620 Clark is at the right the backs 1381 01:25:14,620 --> 01:25:15,880 are off that now they send Earl 1382 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:17,760 Cooper in motion Montana goes 1383 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:19,320 back to throw it to safety flip 1384 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,520 Ross Browner down the ten yard 1385 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,220 line Bobby Kemp came through on 1386 01:25:24,220 --> 01:25:26,460 the inside and Ross Browner came 1387 01:25:26,460 --> 01:25:27,660 through from the outside they 1388 01:25:27,660 --> 01:25:29,840 blitzed on the first play and 1389 01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:31,100 they dropped Montana for the 1390 01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:33,000 first time this afternoon back 1391 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,440 at the ten yard line and I kind 1392 01:25:34,440 --> 01:25:35,800 of think that Bobby Kemp coming 1393 01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:37,340 up the middle was the guy who 1394 01:25:37,340 --> 01:25:40,040 made that play Montana did not 1395 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:41,740 see Browner he was blindsided 1396 01:25:41,740 --> 01:25:44,220 there Ross caught him just above 1397 01:25:44,220 --> 01:25:46,380 the shoulder level and Browner 1398 01:25:46,380 --> 01:25:48,360 has played a strong game 1399 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:49,780 defensively for Cincinnati's 1400 01:25:49,780 --> 01:25:50,760 turned in a couple of good 1401 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:52,460 plays against the rush and now 1402 01:25:52,460 --> 01:25:53,960 he registers the vendors first 1403 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:55,060 quarterback sack of the 1404 01:25:55,060 --> 01:25:56,700 afternoon go to second down at 1405 01:25:56,700 --> 01:25:57,920 about nineteen and a half back 1406 01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,060 and come down on the 10th 1407 01:25:59,060 --> 01:26:00,860 Parkinson Solomon on opposite 1408 01:26:00,860 --> 01:26:02,960 sides Montana back to throw this 1409 01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:04,400 time he's going for the long one 1410 01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,600 downfield for Solomon a jump who 1411 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,800 has the ball nobody Solomon and

1415 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:16,680 might have it but then the ball 1416 01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:18,080 was wrestled away from him and 1417 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:19,620 it fell incomplete. 1418 01:26:20,580 --> 01:26:21,880 No one come all the way back to 1419 01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:23,620 the 10 yard line now it will be 1420 01:26:23,620 --> 01:26:24,780 third and 20. 1421 01:26:25,220 --> 01:26:26,660 Louis Breeden went up with 1422 01:26:26,660 --> 01:26:28,020 Freddie Solomon the ball was 1423 01:26:28,020 --> 01:26:28,420 juggled. 1424 01:26:28,660 --> 01:26:30,200 Solomon looked like he might 1425 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:31,520 have had possession there for a 1426 01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:31,920 moment. 1427 01:26:32,860 --> 01:26:34,260 Hicks came over and gave him a 1428 01:26:34,260 --> 01:26:36,260 leg the ball popped loose but 1429 01:26:36,260 --> 01:26:37,660 they wrote it in completion. 1430 01:26:37,900 --> 01:26:39,500 Looked like Montana hung the 1431 01:26:39,500 --> 01:26:42,980 pass a bit all the ball comes 1432 01:26:42,980 --> 01:26:44,340 all the way back to the 10 yard 1433 01:26:44,340 --> 01:26:44,500 line. 1434 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:45,980 Now the Bengals need a big play 1435 01:26:45,980 --> 01:26:47,280 on defense to stop them right 1436 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:47,640 here. 1437 01:26:47,940 --> 01:26:49,120 Or the pump

01:26:54,620 --> 01:26:56,720 white card to the left on Santa 1442 01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:58,420 hands off around the right side 1443 01:26:58,420 --> 01:27:00,420 cutting to the 14 yard line and 1444 01:27:00,420 --> 01:27:01,920 Reggie Williams nails Ricky 1445 01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:02,460 Patton. 1446 01:27:03,100 --> 01:27:04,520 They only get about four or five 1447 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:05,500 yards on the run. 1448 01:27:05,860 --> 01:27:07,340 The Bengals have what they want 1449 01:27:07,340 --> 01:27:09,200 they will force the 49ers to 1450 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:10,140 come out of the hole. 1451 01:27:10,700 --> 01:27:29,300 The 1452 01:27:29,300 --> 01:27:31,320 first down putting San Francisco 1453 01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:32,820 in difficult down and distant 1454 01:27:32,820 --> 01:27:34,620 situations and they really 1455 01:27:34,620 --> 01:27:36,360 conceded on that third down play 1456 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:37,360 running a sweep right. 1457 01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:38,960 The Bengals have a good lead for 1458 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,460 San Francisco Mike Fuller the 1459 01:27:40,460 --> 01:27:42,060 sole safety back at the Bengals 1460 01:27:42,060 --> 01:27:43,060 forty five yard line. 1461 01:27:44,220 --> 01:27:45,460 There's a snap back to Miller a 1462 01:27:45,460 --> 01:27:46,960 big rush is on but he gets it 1463 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:48,560 away a good high spiral. 1464 01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:50,240 The football back up to about the 1465 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,360 38 comes up to the 40 to the 1466 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,300 forty five fifty and down to the 1467 01:27:54,300 --> 01:27:56,100 49ers forty nine yard line. 1468 01:27:57,180 --> 01:27:58,580 Mike Fuller really picked his 1469 01:27:58,580 --> 01:28:00,040 way through about three or four 1470 01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:01,620 forty niners coming downfield 1471 01:28:01,620 --> 01:28:02,920 and the Bengals have excellent 1472 01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:03,740 field position. 1473 01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:06,220 I'm out of the field with a 1474 01:28:06,220 --> 01:28:07,980 twenty on the Bengals seven. 1475 01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:12,020 The Bengals fans here at the 1476 01:28:12,020 --> 01:28:13,560 Silver Dome have finally found 1477 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:14,620 something to yell about. 1478 01:28:14,660 --> 01:28:15,660 They're on their feet. 1479 01:28:15,820 --> 01:28:16,820 And here we go. 1480 01:28:16,820 --> 01:28:18,920 Bengals at Cincinnati has scored 1481 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,200 an early third quarter touchdown 1482 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,440 they have held the 49ers on a 1483 01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:24,800 quick series and now they get 1484 01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:26,300 the ball back in excellent field 1485 01:28:26,300 --> 01:28:29,480 position just into San Francisco 1486 01:28:29,480 --> 01:28:31,540 territory at the 49 yard line. 1487 01:28:31,900 --> 01:28:33,620 The Bengals did it successfully 1488 01:28:33,620 --> 01:28:34,780 last time they had the ball 1489 01:28:34,780 --> 01:28:37,140 built by establishing the run in 1490 01:28:37,140 --> 01:28:39,020 that nine play drive they ran 1491 01:28:39,020 --> 01:28:40,480 the ball six times and they only 1492 01:28:40,480 --> 01:28:42,020 threw when it was to their 1493 01:28:42,020 --> 01:28:43,420 advantage to throw the football. 1494 01:28:43,460 --> 01:28:44,620 So again I imagine they'll come 1495 01:28:44,620 --> 01:28:46,320 out and try to ram this ball 1496 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:47,420 right down the 49ers. 1497 01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:48,860 They did have good luck running 1498 01:28:48,860 --> 01:28:50,360 it on a last series as they did 1499 01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:51,000 in the first game. 1500 01:28:51,020 --> 01:28:52,460 Alexander goes wide to the left 1501 01:28:52,460 --> 01:28:54,400 outside Collins where the three 1502 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:55,900 man defensive front now for the 1503 01:28:55,900 -->

about three yards but 1507 01:29:01,540 --> 01:29:02,440 the going is tough. 1508 01:29:02,740 --> 01:29:04,200 He's stacked up with the 49ers 1509 01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:05,780 and the 49ers forty six. 1510 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:07,880 Let's pause 15 seconds for 1511 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,240 station identification. 1512 01:29:09,480 --> 01:29:10,840 This is the Cincinnati Bengals 1513

This is W.L.W. Cincinnati the 1520 01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:30,500 49ers make four defensive 1521 01:29:30,500 --> 01:29:31,940 substitutions a game of three. 1522 01:29:31,940 --> 01:29:34,320 They're going to be seven at the 1523 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:37,680 49 or forty six Alexander 1524 01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:38,960 outside of Curtis to the right 1525 01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:40,860 only Pete Johnson a quick

out of bounds. 1558 01:30:31,300 --> 01:30:32,460 He just about got back to the 1559 01:30:32,460 --> 01:30:33,600 line of scrimmage and that was 1560 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,200 all the Bengals were able to 1561 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,300 make only three yards and now 1562 01:30:37,300 --> 01:30:38,900 McAnally will go on the ballgame 1563 01:30:38,900 --> 01:30:40,100 for an apparent one. 1564 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:41,300 They have the four wide 1565 01:30:41,300 --> 01:30:43,040 receivers and Dave Burser became 1566 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:44,280 the fourth with nothing 1567 01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:45,720 materialized at all. 1568 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,180 So now again it is Hicks and 1569 01:30:51,180 --> 01:30:52,680 Freddie Solomon back as the twin 1570 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:54,760 safeties if it is to be a punt 1571 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:55,720 and you have to think that it 1572 01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:56,220 will be. 1573 01:30:56,220 --> 01:30:57,980 Collins worth getting a little 1574 01:30:57,980 --> 01:30:59,460 equipment repair along the 1575 01:30:59,460 --> 01:30:59,860 sideline. 1576 01:31:01,860 --> 01:31:03,260 They're standing back on the 10 1577 01:31:03,260 --> 01:31:03,820 yard line. 1578 01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,160 The line of scrimmage is the 46 1579 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:08,460 there's a good snap back to 1580 01:31:08,460 --> 01:31:09,060 McAnally. 1581 01:31:09,860 --> 01:31:11,500 He angles it high into the air 1582 01:31:11,500 --> 01:31:13,240 fair catch called for by Solomon 1583 01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:14,700 at the 15 and he takes it right 1584 01:31:14,700 --> 01:31:16,040 there a flag is down on the 1585 01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:17,540 playback at the line of 1586 01:31:17,540 --> 01:31:20,040 scrimmage and we had a man 1587 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:21,640 downfield too quickly for the 1588 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:22,140 Bengals. 1589 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,240 No no no no no no no no no no 1590 01:31:25,240 --> 01:31:26,380 no no no no no. 1591 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,580 No man downfield number 36. 1592 01:31:31,660 --> 01:31:33,080 We did we have Jim Hargo 1593 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,360 leaving going downfield before 1594 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,000 the ball was plotted and we'll 1595 01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:39,440 see what the 49ers do with it. 1596 01:31:39,440 --> 01:31:40,960 If they decline the penalty they 1597 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:42,060 will have the ball right at 1598 01:31:42,060 --> 01:31:43,540 their own 15 yard line. 1599 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:44,500 It looks as though they are 1600 01:31:44,500 --> 01:31:45,460 going to decline it. 1601 01:31:45,460 --> 01:31:46,840 They are and they will take over 1602 01:31:46,840 --> 01:31:50,100 the ball that their 15 all the 1603 01:31:50,100 --> 01:31:51,680 Bengals getting just what they 1604 01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:52,900 wanted a score on the first 1605 01:31:52,900 --> 01:31:55,380 could not lose the football that have been forced to give it up. 1606 01:31:55,380 --> 01:31:58,820 It's a 20 to 7 football game, and there's time out in the field 1607 01:31:58,820 --> 01:32:02,260 with the score of the 49ers 20 and the Bengals 7. 1608 01:32:03,460 --> 01:32:08,580 We want to remind you of the official welcome home party for the Cincinnati Bengals tomorrow 1609 01:32:08,580 --> 01:32:11,940 on Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati at 1 p.m. 1610 01:32:11,940 --> 01:32:17,700 Gary Burbank and Jim LaBarbera from WLW will be there at noon to help you get ready to welcome 1611 01:32:17,700 --> 01:32:21,940 the Bengals home from Pontiac. And that'll be one o'clock tomorrow at the fountain. 1612 01:32:21,940 --> 01:32:25,780 The official Bengals welcome home party. I put Charlie Young in a slot left. 1613 01:32:26,420 --> 01:32:29,620 Actually a double wing formation wide receivers on both sides. 1614 01:32:29,620 --> 01:32:31,940 Now he goes in motion to the far side of the field. 1615 01:32:31,940 --> 01:32:35,380 On Santa with a pitch back to Earl Cooper. There's no place to go and he's going to be 1616 01:32:35,380 --> 01:32:39,620 nailed for a loss. Leclerc and Browner get him back at about the 12 yard line. 1617 01:32:39,620 --> 01:32:43,300 Again they pulled the two guards, but they couldn't clear out the Bengals. 1618 01:32:43,300 --> 01:32:48,020 Reggie Williams along with Ross Browner just pursued along the line of scrimmage. 1619 01:32:48,020 --> 01:32:52,500 Leclerc cut through behind and they nailed Cooper for a loss of a couple of yards back 1620 01:32:52,500 --> 01:32:57,060 to the 13. Now it'll be second down and 12. That little pitch play was working for the 1621 01:32:57,060 --> 01:33:01,940 49ers in the first half but not in the second as Cincinnati is getting much better penetration. 1622 01:33:01,940 --> 01:33:04,500 And again Ross Browner is the man leading the charge. 1623 01:33:05,140 --> 01:33:06,980 So he'll send Solomon out to the right. 1624 01:33:08,580 --> 01:33:13,380 They've worked tight on the left side. Second down and 12. 49ers at their own 13. 1625 01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:17,220 Montana play action. Hands off the ring around the right side. Eddie Edwards will wrap them up 1626 01:33:17,220 --> 01:33:21,460 and they knock him down right at the 13 right at the line of scrimmage. When Edwards got 1627 01:33:21,460 --> 01:33:26,260 hold of him with wrestling on Harris, can't we? And Hicks really got there in a hurry. He may 1628 01:33:26,260 --> 01:33:31,540 have gained a yard on the play, but now it'll bring up a third down and about 11. So the Bengals 1629 01:33:31,540 --> 01:33:36,340 defense is stiff. It was one, two, three and punt the first time the 49ers had the ball. 1630 01:33:36,340 --> 01:33:41,300 Now Burleigh St. Blair and Ray Griffin check in as the Bengals will go to the nickel. Mike Wilson 1631 01:33:41,300 --> 01:33:46,660 has gone in to replace Fred Solomon, a wide receiver for the 49ers. Wilson will go out to 1632 01:33:46,660 --> 01:33:50,180 the right side. White Clark again lining up tight on the left side. 1633 01:33:52,180 --> 01:33:56,180 Well, they send ring in motion over the right side. Montana will go back to throw. Rolls out 1634 01:33:56,180 --> 01:34:00,420 to his right. Looks upfield. Throws and the man is knocked out of bounds at about the 1635 01:34:01,140 --> 01:34:07,620 16, 17 yard line. Again of all the short yardage. Bill Ring comes to pass. Far short of what they 1636 01:34:07,620 --> 01:34:11,860 needed for the first down. And again, the Bengals faithful are up on their feet as the Bengals have 1637 01:34:11,860 --> 01:34:17,300 held one, two, three and punt. And the line is really to the 16. So they made just three yards 1638 01:34:17,300 --> 01:34:23,300 on that last play. Gets the punt away. It's a dandy. Mike Fuller back all the way back to the 32. 1639 01:34:23,300 --> 01:34:29,700 Comes up to the 35 to the 40 to the 45 to the 49 yard line. Very close to midfield before he's 1640 01:34:29,700 --> 01:34:34,980 knocked down by Kenia Turner. Jim Miller just out punted his coverage that time. And Fuller had 1641 01:34:34,980 --> 01:34:41,140 about 12 or 14 yards to run before any 49er got there. And they punted from very close to the same 1642 01:34:41,140 --> 01:34:46,020 position. The Bengals will start from very close to the same position right at midfield. 1643 01:34:46,020 --> 01:34:51,380 Rookie John Simmons almost got to that punt. He was just barely touched out of the play 1644 01:34:52,180 --> 01:34:56,660 after he tried to get it and almost got the football coming off Miller's foot there. 1645 01:34:57,540 --> 01:35:03,700 So the 49ers are negative yardage on two theories here in the third quarter. And the Bengals go to 1646 01:35:03,700 --> 01:35:07,780 work in midfield. Collins-Worth to the left. Curtis to the right. Now Alexander will go 1647 01:35:07,780 --> 01:35:13,540 wide outside of Collins-Worth. That brings the safety up on Collins-Worth. The corner on the 1648 01:35:13,540 --> 01:35:18,500 outside. Anderson rolling out to his right. Looks upfield. Now he's going to run. A flag is down 1649 01:35:19,460 --> 01:35:23,860 right in front of where he was tackled at the 50 yard line by Willie Harper. And maybe the 1650 01:35:23,860 --> 01:35:28,420 infraction was against Dan Ross who was out there in front. Let's see. It is going to be 1651 01:35:29,460 --> 01:35:34,260 against the Bengals. I think Dan Ross may have forced or perhaps gotten the cliff there. Left end. 1652 01:35:34,260 --> 01:35:40,100 And Jim Stuckey did not go for that fake bootleg that time at all. He just stayed right there and 1653 01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:44,820 Dan Ross from behind had to give a shove. And I believe that will cost the Bengals 10 yards. 1654 01:35:45,780 --> 01:35:49,780 49ers have defenced that rollout bootleg, whatever you want to call it, 1655 01:35:49,780 --> 01:35:55,060 effectively so far this afternoon. They've had a lot of film to look at in the last two weeks and 1656 01:35:55,700 --> 01:35:59,060 they've done a good job of cutting down Anderson's efficiency there. 1657 01:35:59,060 --> 01:36:03,460 And Dan Ross for holding was the call. It's the case of the end just having to stay position, 1658 01:36:03,460 --> 01:36:10,660 not cutting inside when he sees the flow go that way. And that time Stuckey stayed right there. Now 1659 01:36:10,660 --> 01:36:15,300 they'll go to the foreman line. Dean checks in. The Bengals have a first and 20 now back at their 1660 01:36:15,300 --> 01:36:20,660 own 41. Steve Crider is the third wide receiver and again he will go to the left and join the other two. 1661 01:36:20,660 --> 01:36:25,940 Anderson back to throw. Look, fires out a flat. Caught by Ross, the 45, the 50, 1662 01:36:25,940 --> 01:36:31,060 down to the 49ers, 45, 44 yard line before Eric Wright can wrap it up. 1663 01:36:31,060 --> 01:36:36,100 And another flag thrown on the play downfield and let's see what this one is going to be. 1664 01:36:41,300 --> 01:36:44,020 The Bengals have the ball at the 49er 44. 1665 01:36:44,020 --> 01:36:51,460 It would be second down and about three unless the penalty is against the Bengals. 1666 01:36:51,460 --> 01:36:57,460 The Bengals had five penalties in the first half and picked up one here in the third quarter. 1667 01:36:59,460 --> 01:37:04,660 We're going to have a walk off against the Bengals from the point that the pass was completed, 1668 01:37:06,180 --> 01:37:07,860 which was the first one. 1669 01:37:07,860 --> 01:37:18,340 The 49ers 45 yard line. Dan Ross motored out all by himself on that play. 1670 01:37:22,020 --> 01:37:26,500 Matt Hagerty will walk off 15 yards and that'll take it all the way back to the 40. 1671 01:37:26,500 --> 01:37:29,460 There was a late hit on the part of one of the Bengals and the Bengals are right back 1672 01:37:29,460 --> 01:37:32,900 where the play started and they will have a first and 20 back at their own 41. 1673 01:37:32,900 --> 01:37:37,620 So a costly penalty wiping out that gain. Here's the call. 1674 01:37:39,140 --> 01:37:44,580 Personal foul, dead ball foul, count count, down count, so it is second down. 1675 01:37:44,580 --> 01:37:49,460 Oh, it's a dead ball foul so the down count, it will be second down and 20. 1676 01:37:49,460 --> 01:37:51,300 Now the Bengals are back at their own 40. 1677 01:37:58,980 --> 01:38:01,620 We didn't get the number of the man who hit late on the play. 1678 01:38:01,620 --> 01:38:02,740 Oh, Steve Crider. 1679 01:38:05,380 --> 01:38:08,020 Now Crider goes out as the third wide receiver out to the left. 1680 01:38:08,020 --> 01:38:10,420 Second and 20 Bengals back at their own 40 again. 1681 01:38:10,980 --> 01:38:12,580 Anderson back to throw. 1682 01:38:12,580 --> 01:38:14,900 Look, steps up. Now he's going to run and he's 1683 01:38:14,900 --> 01:38:17,300 coming from behind and dropped back at the 36. 1684 01:38:17,300 --> 01:38:20,100 Fred Dean coming around from the outside. 1685 01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:22,980 Circles trailed Anderson up the middle and dropped him. 1686 01:38:22,980 --> 01:38:26,180 Joe Kenny is back for the third time this afternoon 1687 01:38:26,180 --> 01:38:30,820 and that is the loss of about five more yards on the 49er defense after allowing that first 1688 01:38:30,820 --> 01:38:36,020 touchdown drive really has come back to assert itself at his third down now and 25. 1689 01:38:36,820 --> 01:38:40,420 Good effort by Fred Dean. Munoz had him down on the astroturf. 1690 01:38:40,420 --> 01:38:43,620 He got up and got Anderson as Ken stepped up into the pocket. 1691 01:38:43,620 --> 01:38:48,340 So Munoz did his job initially but Fred Dean with the extra effort pursued, 1692 01:38:48,340 --> 01:38:50,420 kept at it and sacked the quarterback. 1693 01:38:50,420 --> 01:38:53,540 I don't know what Steve Crider was thinking a blocking lot as late as he did. 1694 01:38:53,540 --> 01:38:55,780 It really wiped out a big gain down to the 45. 1695 01:38:55,780 --> 01:38:57,460 Now it's third and 25. 1696 01:38:57,460 --> 01:38:58,900 Anderson back to throw. 1697 01:38:58,900 --> 01:39:01,780 Goes long down the field and centered for Collinsworth. 1698 01:39:01,780 --> 01:39:07,860 He has it all the way down at the 15 yard line and a flag is out as he beat Eric Wright. 1699 01:39:07,860 --> 01:39:10,900 That's certainly one Collinsworth one on one against Wright. 1700 01:39:10,900 --> 01:39:14,980 Anderson lays the ball up in the air and I think that Wright probably shoved him but 1701 01:39:14,980 --> 01:39:19,780 Collinsworth caught the ball down at the 17 yard line, went to the 14 1702 01:39:19,780 --> 01:39:22,980 and if he did interfere the penalty will be tacked down from right there. 1703 01:39:22,980 --> 01:39:24,980 That's time Collinsworth got him. 1704 01:39:24,980 --> 01:39:28,020 Same pattern that misfired in the first quarter, Phil. 1705 01:39:28,020 --> 01:39:33,300 Again one on one coverage and Collinsworth beat him cleanly and caught the ball over the shoulder. 1706 01:39:38,420 --> 01:39:41,060 So the ball is put at the 14 yard line. 1707 01:39:43,780 --> 01:39:49,220 That may have been just the indication of where the ball was caught because nothing has been 1708 01:39:49,220 --> 01:39:50,260 walked off. 1709 01:39:50,260 --> 01:39:58,580 It is a 50 yard pass play from Anderson to Collinsworth and it'll be a first down at the 49 or 14. 1710 01:39:58,580 --> 01:40:02,180 Right one of the three rookies in the backfield along with Williamson and Ronnie Lott. 1711 01:40:02,900 --> 01:40:04,980 Now Curtis and Collinsworth come to the right. 1712 01:40:04,980 --> 01:40:06,820 Chris gets a big big catch. 1713 01:40:09,140 --> 01:40:12,260 The backs are in and I have to pitch back to Alexander running left. 1714 01:40:12,260 --> 01:40:15,700 Darnley cuts in gets inside the 15 and maybe about the 13. 1715 01:40:15,700 --> 01:40:17,460 A gain of only about a yard. 1716 01:40:17,460 --> 01:40:22,580 Dwayne Borden and Jack Reynolds were over there to hammer Alexander down as he tried to wide sweep 1717 01:40:22,580 --> 01:40:25,700 to the left and then cutting back and it gained only a yard. 1718 01:40:25,700 --> 01:40:27,860 So now it becomes second down and nine. 1719 01:40:28,500 --> 01:40:31,860 Anderson getting more time to throw the football here in the third quarter. 1720 01:40:31,860 --> 01:40:37,620 That time on the straight streak he had a good four or five seconds to unleash that long pass 1721 01:40:37,620 --> 01:40:42,740 to Collinsworth and Chris just had super concentration in catching that ball over his shoulder. 1722 01:40:42,740 --> 01:40:47,060 Well they rest with only three men and that gave Anderson a long long time to throw. 1723 01:40:47,060 --> 01:40:50,100 So the second down and nine at the 49 or 13. 1724 01:40:50,100 --> 01:40:54,260 Collinsworth left Curtis to the right the backs with a big split passing formation. 1725 01:40:54,260 --> 01:40:56,580 Anderson is back to throw the blitz is on. 1726 01:40:56,580 --> 01:40:59,780 Look now he's going to be hit will be dropped at the 15. 1727 01:40:59,780 --> 01:41:04,500 Axel Reynolds on the blitz got him from behind and he is going to lose two and Anderson is 1728 01:41:04,500 --> 01:41:09,940 sacked for the fourth time now and now it becomes third down and nine at the 15. 1729 01:41:10,500 --> 01:41:14,980 Bengals trailed in a football game 20 to 7 but they have come out really have taken the play 1730 01:41:14,980 --> 01:41:17,780 away from the 49ers here in this third quarter. 1731 01:41:17,780 --> 01:41:20,580 Bengals have overcome some adversity in this drive. 1732 01:41:20,580 --> 01:41:24,580 Bill that holding penalty against Dan Ross and then the personal foul against 1733 01:41:24,580 --> 01:41:28,820 Crider and Cincinnati's shown some character in overcoming those problems. 1734 01:41:28,820 --> 01:41:35,380 Well it was third and 25 on the 50 yard touchdown pass or rather 50 yard pass to Collinsworth. 1735 01:41:36,100 --> 01:41:39,380 Five defensive backs in for San Francisco. 1736 01:41:39,380 --> 01:41:41,380 Now Crider comes in motion from left to right. 1737 01:41:41,380 --> 01:41:42,580 He'll draw two men. 1738 01:41:42,580 --> 01:41:47,860 Anderson back to throw looks fires down Dan Ross catches it at the five yard line and 1739 01:41:47,860 --> 01:41:52,820 has knocked down right there and the Bengals I believe are going to have a first down at the five. 1740 01:41:52,820 --> 01:41:58,420 Ross went down hook girls came back and let's see what they're going to put the ball they 1741 01:41:58,420 --> 01:42:04,100 put it at the five yard line which means it is a matter of just about three or four inches 1742 01:42:04,100 --> 01:42:05,460 short of a first down. 1743 01:42:05,460 --> 01:42:08,260 It'll be fourth down and jump those inches to go. 1744 01:42:08,260 --> 01:42:11,140 Anderson really drilled the football Dan Ross and 1745 01:42:11,140 --> 01:42:16,580 a quick turnaround at about the five and Anderson although he was pressured just 1746 01:42:16,580 --> 01:42:19,060 to fire the ball as hard as I've ever seen him throw it. 1747 01:42:19,060 --> 01:42:22,020 Forty-niners make a lot of defensive changes. 1748 01:42:22,020 --> 01:42:24,020 The Bengals come up quickly to the line of Frimley. 1749 01:42:24,900 --> 01:42:26,260 Bengals are going to go for it. 1750 01:42:26,260 --> 01:42:27,620 They have two tight ends in there. 1751 01:42:27,620 --> 01:42:29,700 Alexander and Johnson in the backfield. 1752 01:42:30,580 --> 01:42:32,420 They send Bursar in motion a handoff. 1753 01:42:32,420 --> 01:42:36,020 He has it as he whams inside the right side down to about the three. 1754 01:42:36,900 --> 01:42:39,700 Pete Johnson running right behind big Mike Wilson. 1755 01:42:39,700 --> 01:42:46,020 On the right side picks up the first down at the three and it will be first down and 1756 01:42:46,020 --> 01:42:49,700 goal a lot of 49ers down at the bottom of that stack. 1757 01:42:49,700 --> 01:42:51,700 But Pete Johnson ripped to the three. 1758 01:42:51,700 --> 01:42:55,780 It will be first and goal a complete flip flop here in the third quarter. 1759 01:42:55,780 --> 01:43:01,300 Phil the Bengals have controlled the football with the exception of a minute and 34 seconds. 1760 01:43:01,300 --> 01:43:07,380 The 49ers have had the ball for only six plays in this third quarter of the football game. 1761 01:43:07,380 --> 01:43:08,660 Six plays and two points. 1762 01:43:08,660 --> 01:43:11,540 All right they've gone one two three point twice. 1763 01:43:11,540 --> 01:43:12,740 First and goal at the three. 1764 01:43:12,740 --> 01:43:15,300 A late substitution comes in for the 49ers. 1765 01:43:16,660 --> 01:43:18,420 Tina Turner first and goal at the three. 1766 01:43:18,420 --> 01:43:20,660 Alexander and Johnson the two running backs are in. 1767 01:43:20,660 --> 01:43:22,340 Bursar goes in motion to the far side. 1768 01:43:22,340 --> 01:43:22,820 A handoff. 1769 01:43:22,820 --> 01:43:24,900 Pete rams down to the one yard line. 1770 01:43:26,020 --> 01:43:28,900 Right in behind Dave Lapham at left guard that time. 1771 01:43:28,900 --> 01:43:32,740 Hit by Dan Buns the linebacker who is in on the goal line defense. 1772 01:43:32,740 --> 01:43:34,580 Pete Johnson takes it to the one. 1773 01:43:34,580 --> 01:43:38,100 The Bengals will have a second and goal and back inside the one yard line. 1774 01:43:38,100 --> 01:43:42,020 By about the length of the football Bengals training 20 to 7. 1775 01:43:42,020 --> 01:43:46,580 Really need a touchdown right here and they'll be right back in this football game. 1776 01:43:46,580 --> 01:43:50,820 Claire Bush did a great job of moving the nose tackle Archie Reese right out of the area. 1777 01:43:50,820 --> 01:43:52,740 And Johnson picks up two to the one. 1778 01:43:53,700 --> 01:43:57,620 So the Bengals do the scored once in the third quarter bidding to score here again. 1779 01:43:57,620 --> 01:43:59,380 The backs are offset to Anderson's left. 1780 01:44:00,100 --> 01:44:02,260 Now he sends Bursar in motion to the left side. 1781 01:44:02,260 --> 01:44:03,140 Gives it to Pete. 1782 01:44:03,140 --> 01:44:05,300 Hammers left side and he has stopped hold. 1783 01:44:05,300 --> 01:44:07,620 He may have lost the yard on that play. 1784 01:44:07,620 --> 01:44:11,300 He was really nailed as he tried to go in over that left side. 1785 01:44:11,300 --> 01:44:13,860 He was hammered down at the two yard line. 1786 01:44:13,860 --> 01:44:17,220 John Hardy a rookie from Iowa. 1787 01:44:17,220 --> 01:44:19,220 The last man to get up off the bottom of the stack. 1788 01:44:19,220 --> 01:44:20,900 He lost about a half a yard. 1789 01:44:20,900 --> 01:44:23,220 The ball is outside the one yard line. 1790 01:44:23,220 --> 01:44:25,380 It will be third down and goal. 1791 01:44:25,380 --> 01:44:30,420 Boy Hacksaw Reynolds came over and moving to his right and filled the hole and really put a shot 1792 01:44:30,420 --> 01:44:34,740 into the lead blocker Charlie Alexander and knocked him right back into Pete Johnson. 1793 01:44:34,740 --> 01:44:36,420 So it is third down a big one right here. 1794 01:44:36,420 --> 01:44:38,740 Let's see what the Bengals will try to pull out. 1795 01:44:40,500 --> 01:44:42,180 Bursar is the wingman to the left. 1796 01:44:42,180 --> 01:44:44,260 Now he comes in motion to the right side. 1797 01:44:44,260 --> 01:44:47,460 Anderson with the ball drops back to throw off in a flat Alexander. 1798 01:44:47,460 --> 01:44:49,780 He's going to be knocked down just short of the goal line. 1799 01:44:50,340 --> 01:44:52,340 Coming over there with Dan Bunn. 1800 01:44:52,340 --> 01:44:57,460 That ball is going to be about four inches away from the goal line. 1801 01:44:57,460 --> 01:45:00,580 And I believe that the Bengals probably are going to go for it. 1802 01:45:00,580 --> 01:45:07,620 Now the Bengals want to see what they're going to do. 1803 01:45:08,420 --> 01:45:13,220 The ball is just inches away as we check that they're going to call a time out to talk things 1804 01:45:13,220 --> 01:45:18,820 over. The Bengals have about perhaps well 14 inches to go for the touchdown. 1805 01:45:18,820 --> 01:45:20,660 Time out on the field with a score. 1806 01:45:20,660 --> 01:45:24,100 The Bengals are the 49ers 20 and the Bengals 7. 1807 01:45:24,100 --> 01:45:31,060 Celebrating 60 years of service and the home of the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals. 1808 01:45:31,060 --> 01:45:34,980 This is Cincinnati Radio WLW. 1809 01:45:36,500 --> 01:45:37,780 Bengals are going to go for it. 1810 01:45:37,780 --> 01:45:40,260 Fourth down and about a foot away. 1811 01:45:40,260 --> 01:45:42,340 Both lines jammed in tight. 1812 01:45:42,340 --> 01:45:45,940 And I'll Pete Johnson rammed the right side and I don't believe he made it. 1813 01:45:47,380 --> 01:45:48,980 The 49ers have held. 1814 01:45:48,980 --> 01:45:55,620 The Bengals had a first down at the three yard line and did not make it. 1815 01:45:55,620 --> 01:45:58,980 And that should really inspire the San Francisco 49ers. 1816 01:45:58,980 --> 01:46:01,700 Just a tremendous goal line stand. 1817 01:46:01,700 --> 01:46:04,980 And the Bengals down there close could not get the ball in. 1818 01:46:04,980 --> 01:46:07,300 They made nothing on that play on the right side. 1819 01:46:07,300 --> 01:46:11,460 Well let us have to hold the 49ers down here now and get the ball back and force them to 1820 01:46:11,460 --> 01:46:13,060 punt from deep in their own territory. 1821 01:46:14,580 --> 01:46:17,460 The 49ers really caved in on that right side. 1822 01:46:17,460 --> 01:46:19,540 We were speculating here at the time out. 1823 01:46:20,180 --> 01:46:23,540 I think maybe Anderson just ought to keep that ball on a keeper but he gave it off to 1824 01:46:23,540 --> 01:46:26,500 Pete Johnson and Pete ran into a stone wall on the right side. 1825 01:46:26,500 --> 01:46:32,180 The 49ers have held and they will take over with a minute and 17 seconds left in this 1826 01:46:32,180 --> 01:46:33,220 third quarter. 1827 01:46:33,220 --> 01:46:37,540 We mentioned it earlier the 49ers were tough against the Russian the regular season and 1828 01:46:37,540 --> 01:46:42,980 in the first two playoff games allowing only 10 rushing touchdowns and they put on a 1829 01:46:43,780 --> 01:46:45,380 super goal line stand there. 1830 01:46:45,380 --> 01:46:48,820 The nose of the football is just about four or five inches away from the line. 1831 01:46:48,820 --> 01:46:53,300 So the Bengals for the third time here in the second half will have to hold them down 1832 01:46:53,300 --> 01:46:55,460 there force the punt from deep in their own territory. 1833 01:46:55,460 --> 01:46:59,700 There are only a minute and 17 seconds left to play in this third quarter. 1834 01:46:59,700 --> 01:47:05,060 The Bengals took the second half kickoff and just proceeded to go 83 yards for a touchdown. 1835 01:47:05,060 --> 01:47:08,020 They got down close again but the 49ers have held. 1836 01:47:08,020 --> 01:47:13,940 Dan Buns made the big play on that third down and that little pass out into the flat field 1837 01:47:13,940 --> 01:47:19,140 that Charlie Alexander looked like Charlie might weasel his way into the end zone. 1838 01:47:19,140 --> 01:47:24,100 But Buns made a short tackle and kept him out and then the Bengals could not convert 1839 01:47:24,100 --> 01:47:26,980 on that fourth and less than a yard from inside the one. 1840 01:47:27,620 --> 01:47:29,460 The third quarter has been all Bengals. 1841 01:47:29,460 --> 01:47:34,500 They have scored seven points to trail 20 to seven of the 49ers have had the ball for 1842 01:47:34,500 --> 01:47:35,300 only eight plays. 1843 01:47:35,300 --> 01:47:40,260 Two of them have been put in the clear checking the defensive coordinator Hank Bullough over 1844 01:47:40,260 --> 01:47:46,260 at the sidelines got the two tight ends Charlie Young and he's ramped in the ballgame. 1845 01:47:46,820 --> 01:47:51,860 Joe Montana stands in the end zone as he comes up to his center Fred Quillen handoff right 1846 01:47:51,860 --> 01:47:56,340 side out to about the four yard line comes Bill Ring a little running room made about 1847 01:47:56,340 --> 01:48:00,260 four yards Bobby Camp over there to hold him down along with Bo Harris Cameron. 1848 01:48:00,980 --> 01:48:02,900 But he moved the ball out about four yards. 1849 01:48:02,900 --> 01:48:07,780 Ring has been a valuable pickup man a free agent out of Brigham Young and he of course 1850 01:48:07,780 --> 01:48:11,140 had a touchdown a little pass play on that first ball game in Cincinnati. 1851 01:48:11,700 --> 01:48:16,740 This is the 49ers third possession of the third quarter and they have yet to score a 1852 01:48:16,740 --> 01:48:19,780 first down and they've had the ball for only nine plays. 1853 01:48:21,380 --> 01:48:23,700 It'll be second down and seven at their four. 1854 01:48:25,140 --> 01:48:29,220 They have Johnny Davis and Bill Ring in the backfield handoff right side it's ring he 1855 01:48:29,220 --> 01:48:33,380 breaks out to about the seven yard line had a little more running room than that and it 1856 01:48:33,380 --> 01:48:38,660 was Bo Harris who knocked his legs out from under him he fell forward and Bobby Camp pinned 1857 01:48:38,660 --> 01:48:45,140 him down Jim LeClair in a kneeling position on the field and is injured. 1858 01:48:45,140 --> 01:48:49,780 Jim LeClair who has played all year with a bum knee and a bum shoulder now down on the 1859 01:48:49,780 --> 01:48:51,540 ground at about the seven yard line. 1860 01:48:52,660 --> 01:48:55,700 They gained three more and it will be third down and four. 1861 01:48:55,700 --> 01:48:59,940 So while he temperament along with Tom Gray hustle out on the field to take a look at 1862 01:48:59,940 --> 01:49:04,100 Jim LeClair who is holding on to his left knee. 1863 01:49:09,220 --> 01:49:13,540 Both Tom Dinkle and Rick Rosano are huddled around the 1864 01:49:14,900 --> 01:49:16,980 Bengal defensive coordinator to Hank Fuller. 1865 01:49:18,820 --> 01:49:22,100 I would guess if Dinkle is completely healthy he'll be the man. 1866 01:49:23,460 --> 01:49:29,140 He's played both inside and outside Rosano filled in so well for LeClair earlier in the 1867 01:49:29,140 --> 01:49:33,780 season though especially in that Baltimore game he played just superbly so it may be 1868 01:49:33,780 --> 01:49:36,180 Rosano who comes in to fill in for Jim LeClair. 1869 01:49:36,180 --> 01:49:41,620 Jim LeClair is up and he is being helped off the field very very gingerly on that left 1870 01:49:41,620 --> 01:49:41,860 knee. 1871 01:49:42,980 --> 01:49:47,380 You know Andy the five Bengals who were in the Pro Bowl were scheduled to leave from 1872 01:49:47,380 --> 01:49:49,460 here and go right to Hawaii but they are not. 1873 01:49:49,460 --> 01:49:54,020 They are coming home with the Bengals tomorrow and Mike Brown said if they're fine for not 1874 01:49:54,020 --> 01:49:56,260 getting there and they're late we'll pay the fine. 1875 01:49:56,260 --> 01:50:00,660 We want them back home where they can get their proper greeting as far as the Cincinnati 1876 01:50:00,660 --> 01:50:01,780 fans are concerned. 1877 01:50:01,780 --> 01:50:04,420 I'd have to agree with that decision wholeheartedly. 1878 01:50:04,420 --> 01:50:08,180 I know the players would want to be a part of that welcome that they're going to get 1879 01:50:08,180 --> 01:50:09,380 in Cincinnati tomorrow. 1880 01:50:09,380 --> 01:50:13,540 The ball is up at the eight yard line so actually it'll be third down and about three. 1881 01:50:13,540 --> 01:50:18,820 It is Rick Rosano out of Virginia Tech who fills in at the inside linebacker spot for 1882 01:50:18,820 --> 01:50:19,860 the injured Jim LeClair. 1883 01:50:19,860 --> 01:50:23,620 You have to think that LeClair probably is through for the day because of that twisted 1884 01:50:23,620 --> 01:50:23,860 knee. 1885 01:50:23,860 --> 01:50:26,580 Bengals have to hold them right here and force another punter. 1886 01:50:26,580 --> 01:50:29,380 Eleven seconds left in this third quarter. 1887 01:50:29,380 --> 01:50:31,380 San Francisco leads it 20 to 7. 1888 01:50:33,380 --> 01:50:34,580 And they're letting time run out. 1889 01:50:34,580 --> 01:50:38,180 They are not going to run off another play and the two teams are heading down to change 1890 01:50:38,180 --> 01:50:39,380 ends of the field. 1891 01:50:39,380 --> 01:50:45,380 That is the end of the third quarter with a score of 49ers 20 and the Bengals 7. 1892 01:50:45,380 --> 01:50:50,660 The Bengals bounce back well in that third quarter scoring their only touchdown and controlling 1893 01:50:50,660 --> 01:50:52,420 the ball for about 12 minutes. 1894 01:50:52,420 --> 01:50:58,260 San Francisco has had a lousy field position and the Bengals haven't let them off the hook. 1895 01:50:58,260 --> 01:51:03,620 The 49ers have started their so-called drives at the 20 at the 15 and at the one yard line 1896 01:51:03,620 --> 01:51:09,220 and now the Bengals are faced with another big third down situation with the ball inside 1897 01:51:09,780 --> 01:51:11,780 the San Francisco 10. 1898 01:51:11,780 --> 01:51:14,340 The Bengals have been down close three times. 1899 01:51:14,340 --> 01:51:19,460 They have lost the ball twice and on a fourth down play on this last series why Pete Johnson 1900 01:51:19,460 --> 01:51:22,580 was stopped short of the goal line and the 49ers took over. 1901 01:51:22,580 --> 01:51:27,060 The 49ers have a third and three at their own eight yard line as we go into the final 1902 01:51:27,060 --> 01:51:28,660 15 minutes of play. 1903 01:51:28,660 --> 01:51:33,140 20 to 7 the 49ers on top of the Bengals of course have to stop them right here. 1904 01:51:34,020 --> 01:51:35,780 Bengals with the three man line. 1905 01:51:36,420 --> 01:51:42,820 They have Browner Whitley Edwards the regular linebackers with the exception of Jim LeClair 1906 01:51:42,820 --> 01:51:44,500 who was out with that twisted knee. 1907 01:51:44,500 --> 01:51:49,540 Rick Rosano has replaced him in the backfield to Earl Cooper and Ricky Patton for the 49ers. 1908 01:51:52,500 --> 01:51:54,500 The wide split out to the left goes Patton. 1909 01:51:54,500 --> 01:51:59,540 Montana hands off the ball and Cooper is going to be nailed back right up at the eight yard line. 1910 01:52:01,540 --> 01:52:06,020 Montana fakes a swing and then gave the ball to Cooper and Cooper was wrapped up right at 1911 01:52:06,020 --> 01:52:08,580 the eight yard line and the 49ers are going to have to punt. 1912 01:52:08,580 --> 01:52:14,660 Ross Browner Wilson Whitley Cameron Rosano all of them in there as they plugged up that middle 1913 01:52:14,660 --> 01:52:18,820 along with Eddie Edwards and the 49ers are going to have to punt for the third time. 1914 01:52:18,820 --> 01:52:23,780 One two three kick the total offense figures for the third quarter are most revealing. 1915 01:52:23,780 --> 01:52:27,860 The Bengals with 140 yards and the 49ers with only four. 1916 01:52:30,180 --> 01:52:32,980 And after the first two series they had minus yardage. 1917 01:52:32,980 --> 01:52:37,300 They've gotten on the plus side by picking up seven yards on this one. 1918 01:52:37,300 --> 01:52:41,780 So again Miller will be putting back in his own end zone. 1919 01:52:41,780 --> 01:52:43,780 He's standing about eight yards deep this time. 1920 01:52:43,780 --> 01:52:47,140 Mike Fuller out of midfield the barefooter from Mississippi is punted well. 1921 01:52:48,340 --> 01:52:51,460 This one is a short punt that comes over toward the sidelines. 1922 01:52:51,460 --> 01:52:54,260 Fuller will take it on the bounce and Bengal territory. 1923 01:52:54,260 --> 01:52:56,740 Now he's going to be knocked down at the 46 yard line. 1924 01:52:56,740 --> 01:53:02,180 The 49ers downfield well to cover and a punt that looks as though it may go out of bounds 1925 01:53:02,180 --> 01:53:03,540 but Fuller took it on the bounce. 1926 01:53:03,540 --> 01:53:10,180 Randy Cross was down there to Nail Fuller and the Bengals will have the ball at their own 47 yard line. 1927 01:53:10,180 --> 01:53:14,980 So Fuller gets nothing on that return and the Bengals now go to work with 13 minutes 1928 01:53:14,980 --> 01:53:21,140 and 58 seconds left in the touch or in the game and the Bengals trail by 13 points. 1929 01:53:27,300 --> 01:53:28,340 Curtis goes out to the right. 1930 01:53:28,340 --> 01:53:29,700 Collinsworth here to the left. 1931 01:53:29,700 --> 01:53:30,580 Right backs up. 1932 01:53:30,580 --> 01:53:33,620 Lott comes right up to the line to Sriby. 1933 01:53:33,620 --> 01:53:34,580 Now he backs off. 1934 01:53:36,900 --> 01:53:38,180 Anderson gives the ball to Pete. 1935 01:53:38,180 --> 01:53:42,420 Pete rips through up over midfield down to the 49ers 40 yard line. 1936 01:53:42,420 --> 01:53:43,460 Kena Turner got him. 1937 01:53:43,460 --> 01:53:44,820 Craig Puky pinned him down. 1938 01:53:45,460 --> 01:53:47,780 It is going to be a game of maybe four yards. 1939 01:53:47,780 --> 01:53:50,980 Well make it three as they will put the ball right down at midfield 1940 01:53:50,980 --> 01:53:53,380 and it will become second down and seven. 1941 01:53:53,380 --> 01:53:57,220 Pete Johnson now 14 carries 36 yards. 1942 01:53:57,220 --> 01:54:03,620 The Bengals have had big fourth quarters this year both offensively and defensively. 1943 01:54:03,620 --> 01:54:07,700 They've scored 136 points in the fourth quarter more than any other team 1944 01:54:07,700 --> 01:54:10,660 but they have also given up 138. 1945 01:54:11,460 --> 01:54:12,820 Second and seven at midfield. 1946 01:54:15,460 --> 01:54:16,980 Back to throw goes Anderson. 1947 01:54:16,980 --> 01:54:18,100 Look fires downfield. 1948 01:54:18,100 --> 01:54:21,300 It's caught by Collinsworth in the middle of the field at the 49 or 40 1949 01:54:21,300 --> 01:54:25,380 and he dives ahead to the 38 before Willie Harper could pin him down. 1950 01:54:25,380 --> 01:54:29,060 The Bengals convert a second and seven on the path to Collinsworth right over the middle 1951 01:54:29,060 --> 01:54:34,500 to the 49 or 38 yard line a 12 yard shot and that is another first down. 1952 01:54:34,500 --> 01:54:36,740 Bengals are having good luck over the middle. 1953 01:54:36,740 --> 01:54:42,100 Completions to Ross and to Collinsworth and to Crider right in the middle of that San Francisco defense. 1954 01:54:42,100 --> 01:54:46,260 They haven't had that much luck with the exception of the long completion down the sidelines 1955 01:54:46,260 --> 01:54:50,180 to Collinsworth attacking the flank of the San Francisco zone. 1956 01:54:50,180 --> 01:54:55,460 Boy Fred Dean just got a hand on Anderson that time as Munoz shoved him away. 1957 01:54:55,460 --> 01:54:57,460 Anderson again back to throw. 1958 01:54:57,460 --> 01:54:59,460 Looking again down the middle. 1959 01:54:59,460 --> 01:55:01,460 Ross at the 30 has it down at the 28. 1960 01:55:01,460 --> 01:55:03,460 There we go right over the middle again. 1961 01:55:03,460 --> 01:55:07,460 Dan Ross caught that one and he was pulled down by Bobby Leopold 1962 01:55:07,460 --> 01:55:11,460 who's in as one of the extra linebackers here in this situation. 1963 01:55:11,460 --> 01:55:15,060 That is a gain of about 10 yards and it may be close enough that they will bring in the 1964 01:55:15,060 --> 01:55:19,460 change from the far side of the linebacker to the right side of the linebacker. 1965 01:55:19,460 --> 01:55:21,460 From the far side of the field to measure. Let's see. 1966 01:55:21,460 --> 01:55:26,420 And again Ross showed his talent at catching the ball that was thrown a little bit behind him. 1967 01:55:26,420 --> 01:55:30,420 He had just so well to the football and he's such a sure receiver. 1968 01:55:30,420 --> 01:55:35,940 And that football is marked extremely close to the first down but they're not going to measure it's about a half yard short. 1969 01:55:35,940 --> 01:55:41,940 He spotted it down at the 28 and a half so it'll be second down and less than a yard to go for the first down. 1970 01:55:43,940 --> 01:55:45,940 Two men out to the right one to the left. 1971 01:55:45,940 --> 01:55:47,940 Anderson is back to throw. 1972 01:55:47,940 --> 01:55:51,940 Down the middle it's incomplete almost intercepted by Ronnie Lott. 1973 01:55:51,940 --> 01:55:55,940 A flag thrown in the play and let's see what we have. 1974 01:55:55,940 --> 01:55:57,940 Right down the middle Curtis and Collinsworth. 1975 01:55:57,940 --> 01:56:01,940 Collinsworth is clapping his hands and the 49ers are unhappy. 1976 01:56:01,940 --> 01:56:05,940 Carlton Williamson I believe may be called for something down there. 1977 01:56:05,940 --> 01:56:07,940 Let's get Pat Haggard his call. 1978 01:56:07,940 --> 01:56:09,940 Pass interference number 42. 1979 01:56:09,940 --> 01:56:13,940 Pass interference against Ronnie Lott who wiggled past the receiver. 1980 01:56:13,940 --> 01:56:17,940 And the Bengals will have a first down down at the 15 yard line. 1981 01:56:23,940 --> 01:56:27,940 Ken Anderson threw that ball into plenty of traffic. 1982 01:56:27,940 --> 01:56:31,940 Williamson moved up in front of Isaac Curtis and brushed him as he tipped the ball. 1983 01:56:31,940 --> 01:56:33,940 And they called the interference. 1984 01:56:35,940 --> 01:56:39,940 Isaac Curtis the intended receiver and Ronnie Lott shoved him. 1985 01:56:39,940 --> 01:56:41,940 Now Alexander goes out wide to the right outside of Curtis. 1986 01:56:41,940 --> 01:56:43,940 Anderson back to throw the blitzes down. 1987 01:56:43,940 --> 01:56:47,940 Now he's going to have to run throws it upfield incomplete. 1988 01:56:47,940 --> 01:56:49,940 He threw in the grass with a couple of tacklers. 1989 01:56:49,940 --> 01:56:53,940 There was no Bengals receiver really close to the ball. 1990 01:56:53,940 --> 01:56:59,940 Max Montoya was the closest man and the 49er coaches are really unhappy. 1991 01:56:59,940 --> 01:57:01,940 The blitz was on. 1992 01:57:01,940 --> 01:57:03,940 One man had hold of Anderson's jersey but he threw the ball. 1993 01:57:03,940 --> 01:57:07,940 And the closest man to it was Montoya who of course is an ineligible receiver. 1994 01:57:07,940 --> 01:57:09,940 So it'll be second down and ten. 1995 01:57:09,940 --> 01:57:11,940 49ers definitely wanted intentional grounding. 1996 01:57:11,940 --> 01:57:15,940 Max Montoya was very slow in getting up there but he stays on the field. 1997 01:57:15,940 --> 01:57:17,940 He's back in the huddle. 1998 01:57:17,940 --> 01:57:19,940 Now Charlie Alexander comes out of the Bengals lineup. 1999 01:57:19,940 --> 01:57:26,940 Well Max Montoya was slow getting up because he wanted to remain as inconspicuous as possible as a possible fast receiver. 2000 01:57:26,940 --> 01:57:28,940 I like that theory. 2001 01:57:28,940 --> 01:57:31,940 Now three wide receivers to the left as Crider goes over there. 2002 01:57:31,940 --> 01:57:34,940 Now he sends Crider in motion to the right side. 2003 01:57:34,940 --> 01:57:36,940 And Anderson again goes back to throw. 2004 01:57:36,940 --> 01:57:37,940 It's a four man rush. 2005 01:57:37,940 --> 01:57:41,940 Fires it down. Ross at the five yard line pulls it in. 2006 01:57:41,940 --> 01:57:46,940 Carlton Williamson down there with Dan Ross who curled back and grabbed the ball at the five. 2007 01:57:46,940 --> 01:57:51,940 And it's just about the ten yards that they needed for the first down depending on where they spot the ball. 2008 01:57:51,940 --> 01:57:55,940 And again it is going to be a matter of just inches short. 2009 01:57:55,940 --> 01:57:58,940 Just outside the five yard line it will be second down and won. 2010 01:57:58,940 --> 01:58:01,940 A fine move by Ross curling away from Williamson. 2011 01:58:01,940 --> 01:58:05,940 And now the 49ers send in a flock of new people on defense. 2012 01:58:05,940 --> 01:58:12,940 Seven catches for the Bengals tight end Dan Ross 74 yards. 2013 01:58:12,940 --> 01:58:20,940 Well the Bengals were down knocking at the goal on the last series only to be stopped. 2014 01:58:20,940 --> 01:58:21,940 Third down and a yard to go. 2015 01:58:21,940 --> 01:58:24,940 A hand off. Alexander dives into the right side. 2016 01:58:24,940 --> 01:58:27,940 Gets maybe a yard but it could be enough for the first down. 2017 01:58:27,940 --> 01:58:30,940 White Hicks really messed up the interference on that side. 2018 01:58:30,940 --> 01:58:33,940 But I think that Alexander got the first down inside the five. 2019 01:58:33,940 --> 01:58:37,940 We'll have to wait and see and they all unstack. 2020 01:58:37,940 --> 01:58:42,940 Ken Anderson 10 out of 12 in the second half for 141 yards. 2021 01:58:42,940 --> 01:58:47,940 The ball is just inside the five yard line close enough that they're going to bring in the change to measure. 2022 01:58:47,940 --> 01:58:50,940 Ken 35 is the time remaining in the football game. 2023 01:58:50,940 --> 01:58:58,940 If the Bengals don't make it it will be fourth down. 2024 01:58:58,940 --> 01:59:01,940 It is the first down. 2025 01:59:01,940 --> 01:59:04,940 Just inside the five it will be first and goal. 2026 01:59:04,940 --> 01:59:10,940 And you don't have to be any student of the game of football to know that the Bengals have to score right here. 2027 01:59:10,940 --> 01:59:14,940 They trailed 20 to 7 with only 10 and a half minutes left to play. 2028 01:59:14,940 --> 01:59:20,940 We've been in this position before and the 49ers put up a tremendous goal line stand the last time. 2029 01:59:20,940 --> 01:59:26,940 The Bengals went with their trump card and Pete Johnson in close and they didn't have too much luck. 2030 01:59:26,940 --> 01:59:28,940 Let's see if they change up now offensively. 2031 01:59:28,940 --> 01:59:32,940 They'll only go with one back this time and the three wide receivers. 2032 01:59:32,940 --> 01:59:36,940 Crider goes to the left with Curtis and Collinsworth. 2033 01:59:36,940 --> 01:59:39,940 Now Crider will go in motion to the right side of the field. 2034 01:59:39,940 --> 01:59:40,940 Anderson will go back to throw. 2035 01:59:40,940 --> 01:59:44,940 Look, fires into the end zone, touchdown to Dan Ross. 2036 01:59:44,940 --> 01:59:48,940 Dan Ross right down to it again maneuvered away from Wooderson. 2037 01:59:48,940 --> 01:59:51,940 And the teammates of his mob have been down in the end zone. 2038 01:59:51,940 --> 01:59:54,940 And now the Bengals are right back in his football game. 2039 01:59:54,940 --> 01:59:58,940 And an extra point here of course will put the Bengals within six. 2040 01:59:58,940 --> 02:00:01,940 That is eight catches for Dan Ross in this football game. 2041 02:00:01,940 --> 02:00:04,940 Five of them have come here in the second half. 2042 02:00:04,940 --> 02:00:09,940 And time and time again Anderson has attacked Carlton Williamson, the rookie out of pit. 2043 02:00:09,940 --> 02:00:12,940 And he does it again here for the touchdown. 2044 02:00:12,940 --> 02:00:16,940 So Danny Ross gets the touchdown and the Bengals tap that end zone once again. 2045 02:00:16,940 --> 02:00:18,940 It is now a 20 to 13 ball game. 2046 02:00:18,940 --> 02:00:22,940 The 49ers have been held completely at bay. 2047 02:00:22,940 --> 02:00:25,940 A big extra point attempt right now by Jim Breach. 2048 02:00:25,940 --> 02:00:26,940 Crider will put it down. 2049 02:00:26,940 --> 02:00:28,940 Breach will attempt it. 2050 02:00:28,940 --> 02:00:30,940 Lines are down and we're waiting for the snap. 2051 02:00:30,940 --> 02:00:32,940 It's high but Breach's kick is through. 2052 02:00:32,940 --> 02:00:35,940 So there's time out on the field with a score now. 2053 02:00:35,940 --> 02:00:39,940 The 49ers 20 and the Bengals 14. 2054 02:00:39,940 --> 02:00:42,940 They score their second straight touchdown. 2055 02:00:42,940 --> 02:00:46,940 And Cincinnati trails by six at 20 to 14. 2056 02:00:46,940 --> 02:00:47,940 So Jim Breach will kick off. 2057 02:00:47,940 --> 02:00:51,940 Again Bill Ring and Dwight Hicks are the deep end for the 49ers. 2058 02:00:51,940 --> 02:00:53,940 10-06 is the time remaining. 2059 02:00:53,940 --> 02:00:55,940 A lot of time. 2060 02:00:55,940 --> 02:00:57,940 The 49ers do not have a first down. 2061 02:00:57,940 --> 02:01:03,940 They have a grand total of only about four yards of offense here in this second half. 2062 02:01:03,940 --> 02:01:12,940 And they've run off only 12 plays and three of those have been punched by Jim Miller. 2063 02:01:12,940 --> 02:01:14,940 We're having a little delay right here. 2064 02:01:14,940 --> 02:01:17,940 The Bengals hand, he did not score down there when Pete Johnson was stopped 2065 02:01:17,940 --> 02:01:22,940 at the ensuing field position after the punt down there set things up. 2066 02:01:22,940 --> 02:01:26,940 So finally persisting keeping the 49ers in bad field position. 2067 02:01:26,940 --> 02:01:30,940 And they finally get it in on a five yard touchdown pass from Anderson to Ross. 2068 02:01:30,940 --> 02:01:32,940 So Breach will hammer it. 2069 02:01:32,940 --> 02:01:34,940 He kicks it down a good high booth. 2070 02:01:34,940 --> 02:01:36,940 It'll be taken by Hicks at the four. 2071 02:01:36,940 --> 02:01:39,940 Comes up to the five to the ten to the 15. 2072 02:01:39,940 --> 02:01:43,940 Tens away at the 20 and is going to be knocked down at the 26 yard line. 2073 02:01:43,940 --> 02:01:46,940 Went down on the grasp of Rick Brazano on a pretty good hit by Ray Griffin in there. 2074 02:01:46,940 --> 02:01:48,940 Also to help bring him down. 2075 02:01:48,940 --> 02:01:52,940 So the 49ers will take over at their own 27 yard line. 2076 02:01:52,940 --> 02:01:54,940 San Francisco getting a bit conservative. 2077 02:01:54,940 --> 02:02:00,940 They went with Dwight Hicks as a deep back along with Ring and did not use famous Amos Lawrence. 2078 02:02:00,940 --> 02:02:05,940 He was back there. They used 3D. 2079 02:02:05,940 --> 02:02:08,940 Yeah, he fumbled that opening kickoff for sure. 2080 02:02:08,940 --> 02:02:12,940 And Dwight Hicks, who is much more sure handed, took that one out across the 25. 2081 02:02:12,940 --> 02:02:16,940 So the 49ers started their own 27. 2082 02:02:16,940 --> 02:02:18,940 They have Solomon and his mark as the wide receivers. 2083 02:02:18,940 --> 02:02:19,940 They send Patton in motion. 2084 02:02:19,940 --> 02:02:21,940 Montana back to throw. 2085 02:02:21,940 --> 02:02:23,940 Out in the flat, it's incomplete. 2086 02:02:23,940 --> 02:02:27,940 It's handed out there for Ricky Patton taking a shallow drift. 2087 02:02:27,940 --> 02:02:31,940 And Reggie Williams grabs his old former high school teammate and threw him down. 2088 02:02:31,940 --> 02:02:34,940 But the pass was whistled by his ear by that time. 2089 02:02:34,940 --> 02:02:37,940 So now the 49ers, 27 have become second and 10. 2090 02:02:37,940 --> 02:02:41,940 This is San Francisco's best field position of the second half. 2091 02:02:41,940 --> 02:02:44,940 They've started drives on the 2015 and one yard line. 2092 02:02:44,940 --> 02:02:48,940 And this one begins on the 27th. 2093 02:02:48,940 --> 02:02:51,940 Bengals down 20 to nothing at the half. 2094 02:02:51,940 --> 02:02:54,940 They come back for two touchdowns and braille 20 to 14. 2095 02:02:54,940 --> 02:02:58,940 They get a passing formation with a wide split and a whistle of Bengals charge across. 2096 02:02:58,940 --> 02:03:05,940 And they want an illegal procedure call against somebody on the left side of that line. 2097 02:03:05,940 --> 02:03:06,940 Ball starts. 2098 02:03:06,940 --> 02:03:07,940 61. 2099 02:03:07,940 --> 02:03:08,940 It was. 2100 02:03:08,940 --> 02:03:12,940 Dan Audick, the left tackle, moved and that will cost them five yards. 2101 02:03:12,940 --> 02:03:17,940 And you have to wonder if the 49ers aren't beginning to come apart a little bit here, Andy. 2102 02:03:17,940 --> 02:03:21,940 It'll be second down now and 15 with a five yard walk off. 2103 02:03:21,940 --> 02:03:23,940 It's been Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde routine. 2104 02:03:23,940 --> 02:03:30,940 49ers have made the mistake taking the dumb penalties and not been able to convert on third downs here in the second half. 2105 02:03:30,940 --> 02:03:32,940 And that's something they did not do in the first half. 2106 02:03:32,940 --> 02:03:33,940 No penalties. 2107 02:03:33,940 --> 02:03:36,940 And they were almost perfect in third down conversion. 2108 02:03:36,940 --> 02:03:40,940 Solomon goes out, Mike Wilson comes in, he comes out to the right. 2109 02:03:40,940 --> 02:03:44,940 Backs with that wide split behind Montana, second and 15 at the 22. 2110 02:03:44,940 --> 02:03:46,940 Patton comes in motion to the near side. 2111 02:03:46,940 --> 02:03:54,940 Montana goes back to throw, rolls out to the right, looks upfield, throws and is caught and out of bounds at the 45 yard line. 2112 02:03:54,940 --> 02:03:57,940 Caught by Mike Wilson up at the 44. 2113 02:03:57,940 --> 02:03:59,940 And a couple of the Bengals really hop along the sideline. 2114 02:03:59,940 --> 02:04:01,940 He calls the ball right in front of the Bengals' fence. 2115 02:04:01,940 --> 02:04:09,940 There's that Montana roll out and the play is good for about 22 yards and that will be a 49er first down. 2116 02:04:09,940 --> 02:04:13,940 They're only gainer of any consequence thus far in that second half. 2117 02:04:13,940 --> 02:04:15,940 And Montana got it with a roll out play to the right. 2118 02:04:15,940 --> 02:04:17,940 Freddie Solomon checks back into the lineup. 2119 02:04:17,940 --> 02:04:26,940 Mike Wilson who was in for him on that series and caught the big gainer on the second and long. 2120 02:04:26,940 --> 02:04:30,940 Montana rolling out to give himself a little more time to throw. 2121 02:04:30,940 --> 02:04:32,940 Solomon is at the right. 2122 02:04:32,940 --> 02:04:34,940 Clark is lined up tight at the left. 2123 02:04:34,940 --> 02:04:36,940 Montana again is back to throw. 2124 02:04:36,940 --> 02:04:38,940 Looks, fires it upfield. 2125 02:04:38,940 --> 02:04:40,940 It's incomplete at the 48 yard line. 2126 02:04:40,940 --> 02:04:46,940 A flag is thrown from behind and we may get interference against Rosano on Clark. 2127 02:04:46,940 --> 02:04:48,940 Bengals had the safety blitz. 2128 02:04:48,940 --> 02:04:54,940 Bobby Kemp came from the left side and got to the quarterback Montana just as he let the ball go. 2129 02:04:54,940 --> 02:04:59,940 Rosano playing in place of the injured Jim LeClair and he climbed up the back that time. 2130 02:04:59,940 --> 02:05:05,940 The pass interference was called on Riley not Rosano. 2131 02:05:05,940 --> 02:05:12,940 And it will be enough to give them an automatic first down on the five yard penalty out to the 49 yard line. 2132 02:05:12,940 --> 02:05:17,940 Kenny Riley was the man who was called for the pass interference not Rosano. 2133 02:05:17,940 --> 02:05:20,940 We have nine minutes and 40 seconds to play in regulation. 2134 02:05:20,940 --> 02:05:24,940 The Bengals trail the 49ers by a 20 to 14 score. 2135 02:05:24,940 --> 02:05:27,940 Eddie Edwards was right in on top of Montana that time. 2136 02:05:27,940 --> 02:05:31,940 But it's first and 10 now the 49ers at their own 49. 2137 02:05:31,940 --> 02:05:34,940 Clark Wright, Solomon comes in motion over to that side. 2138 02:05:34,940 --> 02:05:36,940 Montana hands the ball up up the middle. 2139 02:05:36,940 --> 02:05:39,940 A big run by Ricky Patton down to the 41 yard line. 2140 02:05:39,940 --> 02:05:42,940 And the last guy, Brian Hicks got him. 2141 02:05:42,940 --> 02:05:46,940 Big blocking in the middle by Quillen, Randy Cross and John Ayers. 2142 02:05:46,940 --> 02:05:53,940 And if not Hicks made that tackle around the ankles of Patton he might have been off to the races. 2143 02:05:53,940 --> 02:05:58,940 Brian Hicks had Patton one on one held his ground and then dove for the feet to bring him down. 2144 02:05:58,940 --> 02:06:01,940 The 10 yard pick up and it may be enough for a first down. 2145 02:06:01,940 --> 02:06:04,940 The chains are coming in. 2146 02:06:04,940 --> 02:06:08,940 So the 49ers moving the ball now for the first time in the second half. 2147 02:06:08,940 --> 02:06:11,940 And the Bengals training by six don't want them to get a field goal. 2148 02:06:11,940 --> 02:06:17,940 It is enough for a first down at the Bengals 41 yard line. 2149 02:06:17,940 --> 02:06:21,940 The Bengals middle linebackers have been moved around pretty well this entire ball game. 2150 02:06:21,940 --> 02:06:28,940 The 49ers have had some good gains up the middle. 2151 02:06:28,940 --> 02:06:32,940 So the 49ers will send Solomon and Clark to the left. 2152 02:06:32,940 --> 02:06:34,940 Patton and Cooper are the running backs. 2153 02:06:34,940 --> 02:06:36,940 They're at the Bengals 41 to hand off. 2154 02:06:36,940 --> 02:06:39,940 It's Patton this time and he has hit at the 39 yard line. 2155 02:06:39,940 --> 02:06:41,940 Really hit solidly and wrapped up. 2156 02:06:41,940 --> 02:06:44,940 And the guy who nailed him was Ross Browner. 2157 02:06:44,940 --> 02:06:47,940 Browner came shot across from the right end spot. 2158 02:06:47,940 --> 02:06:54,940 It's amazing how many times Browner can come from the right side to make a tackle right at the line of scrimmage on the left side. 2159 02:06:54,940 --> 02:06:58,940 But Patton's momentum on the angle carried him forward for a couple of yards. 2160 02:06:58,940 --> 02:07:00,940 And at the 39 it is second and eight. 2161 02:07:00,940 --> 02:07:02,940 Browner's had a big game against the run. 2162 02:07:02,940 --> 02:07:04,940 He's also turned in a quarterback back. 2163 02:07:04,940 --> 02:07:09,940 So Ross Browner has enjoyed himself an excellent Super Bowl so far. 2164 02:07:09,940 --> 02:07:13,940 They line Clark tight left. Solomon tight right. 2165 02:07:13,940 --> 02:07:14,940 Montana hands the ball off. 2166 02:07:14,940 --> 02:07:15,940 It's half running to the left. 2167 02:07:15,940 --> 02:07:18,940 He's going to get all the way down to the 33 yard line. 2168 02:07:18,940 --> 02:07:20,940 And to his right the Bengals left. 2169 02:07:20,940 --> 02:07:25,940 And finally it was Browner from the other side of the field along with Hicks and Cameron who got over there to make the tackle. 2170 02:07:25,940 --> 02:07:29,940 And he picked up just about the eight yards that he needed for the first down. 2171 02:07:29,940 --> 02:07:31,940 So Ricky Patton running well. 2172 02:07:31,940 --> 02:07:37,940 And again we may have to bring in the chains to measure. 2173 02:07:37,940 --> 02:07:43,940 20 to 14 the 49ers lead it after they had a 20 to nothing halftime lead. 2174 02:07:43,940 --> 02:07:46,940 And that one is going to be less than an inch short. 2175 02:07:46,940 --> 02:07:53,940 At the Bengals 31 yard line it will be third down and just an inch maybe two inches to go. 2176 02:07:53,940 --> 02:07:57,940 Again San Francisco reestablishing their running game. 2177 02:07:57,940 --> 02:08:01,940 Their running game had taken a vacation in the third quarter. 2178 02:08:01,940 --> 02:08:05,940 49ers couldn't get themselves in decent field position. 2179 02:08:05,940 --> 02:08:12,940 The Bengals held them without a first down but San Francisco has moved the ball from their own 27 down to the Bengals 31. 2180 02:08:12,940 --> 02:08:15,940 So the third down and just inches to go. 2181 02:08:15,940 --> 02:08:20,940 Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Montana keep the ball. 2182 02:08:20,940 --> 02:08:26,940 That is Montana and he dives with it in over the right guard inside the 30 to maybe the 29 and has the first down. 2183 02:08:26,940 --> 02:08:29,940 Followed the blocks of Fred Quillen in the center. 2184 02:08:29,940 --> 02:08:31,940 Randy Cross the white guard. 2185 02:08:31,940 --> 02:08:35,940 And at the 29 yard line the 49ers have a first down. 2186 02:08:35,940 --> 02:08:39,940 In fact where they put the ball down it is actually the 28 yard line. 2187 02:08:39,940 --> 02:08:41,940 So it will be first and 10 right there. 2188 02:08:41,940 --> 02:08:43,940 The Bengals trailing by six. 2189 02:08:43,940 --> 02:08:48,940 Just cannot afford to give up a field goal even with seven minutes and 45 seconds left in the game. 2190 02:08:48,940 --> 02:08:54,940 49ers are keeping the clock running keeping the ball in bounds and on the ground. 2191 02:08:54,940 --> 02:08:56,940 49ers ready to go. 2192 02:08:56,940 --> 02:08:57,940 At the Bengals 28. 2193 02:08:57,940 --> 02:09:00,940 Solomon will go in motion over to the left side. 2194 02:09:00,940 --> 02:09:01,940 Montana will hand the ball off. 2195 02:09:01,940 --> 02:09:02,940 Cooper running to the left. 2196 02:09:02,940 --> 02:09:08,940 Riley knocks him down with a good tackle at about the 26. 2197 02:09:08,940 --> 02:09:10,940 They sent the flow to the right. 2198 02:09:10,940 --> 02:09:12,940 They took the handoff to the left. 2199 02:09:12,940 --> 02:09:13,940 Burst through it. 2200 02:09:13,940 --> 02:09:18,940 Pohl on the left side and Kenny Riley hit him around the ankles and dropped him after a gain of a yard. 2201 02:09:18,940 --> 02:09:22,940 When it appeared that he might have some pretty good area to run in. 2202 02:09:22,940 --> 02:09:24,940 Good open field tackle by Riley. 2203 02:09:24,940 --> 02:09:26,940 It will be second down and nine. 2204 02:09:26,940 --> 02:09:32,940 Down to seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter. 2205 02:09:32,940 --> 02:09:35,940 Not only a touchdown the Bengals have to keep him out of field goal range. 2206 02:09:35,940 --> 02:09:38,940 Nine points would be probably too much. 2207 02:09:38,940 --> 02:09:40,940 Handoff into the line. 2208 02:09:40,940 --> 02:09:46,940 And he's pulled down by Reggie Williams as he crosses the 25 and gets maybe to the 24 yard line. 2209 02:09:46,940 --> 02:09:48,940 Wilson Woodley on the nose. 2210 02:09:48,940 --> 02:09:49,940 Stop also. 2211 02:09:49,940 --> 02:09:52,940 And now it will bring up a third down and six. 2212 02:09:52,940 --> 02:09:57,940 And it has been on these type of situations that Montana has really gone to the rollout. 2213 02:09:57,940 --> 02:10:00,940 Montana of course was the NFC passing champion. 2214 02:10:00,940 --> 02:10:03,940 Kenny Anderson topped the AFC and the entire NFL. 2215 02:10:03,940 --> 02:10:08,940 So we have the two top quarterbacks in football matched up against each other in this game today. 2216 02:10:08,940 --> 02:10:10,940 And both have had good days. 2217 02:10:10,940 --> 02:10:12,940 Ethan Ransom comes out of the ballgame. 2218 02:10:12,940 --> 02:10:17,940 Dwight Clark is in and he's the man that Montana likes to go to in these situations. 2219 02:10:17,940 --> 02:10:20,940 24 yard line of the Bengals third and sixth. 2220 02:10:20,940 --> 02:10:22,940 Montana hands off into the line. 2221 02:10:22,940 --> 02:10:23,940 Patten gets nothing. 2222 02:10:23,940 --> 02:10:26,940 Ross Garner and about three or four others in the middle wrap him up. 2223 02:10:26,940 --> 02:10:30,940 And that should bring in Wersing for a field goal attempt. 2224 02:10:30,940 --> 02:10:32,940 A lot of scrimmage will be about the 23. 2225 02:10:32,940 --> 02:10:34,940 It will be a 40 yard attempt by Wersing. 2226 02:10:34,940 --> 02:10:40,940 And he was kicking them as far as 55 and 56 yards before this ballgame started. 2227 02:10:40,940 --> 02:10:45,940 Wersing coming into the game, as I mentioned, did not miss inside the 30. 2228 02:10:45,940 --> 02:10:50,940 At this range between 40 and 49 he is four out of seven. 2229 02:10:50,940 --> 02:10:58,940 And with only five minutes and 35 seconds left, this 40 yard field goal attempt is really a big one. 2230 02:10:58,940 --> 02:11:00,940 If it is to be an attempt. 2231 02:11:00,940 --> 02:11:04,940 Snap back. Wersing's kick is lined up and it is good. 2232 02:11:04,940 --> 02:11:11,940 There's time out on the field with a score of the 49ers 23 and the Bengals 14. 2233 02:11:11,940 --> 02:11:17,940 The 49ers now have a nine point lead at 23 to 14 with five minutes and 25 seconds to go. 2234 02:11:17,940 --> 02:11:23,940 Boy does that field goal he got right at the end of the half after Archie Griffin fumbled a kickoff. 2235 02:11:23,940 --> 02:11:24,940 Really looked big. 2236 02:11:24,940 --> 02:11:26,940 Here's Wersing again. He kicks the number. 2237 02:11:26,940 --> 02:11:27,940 Bounces at the 30. 2238 02:11:27,940 --> 02:11:28,940 At the 15. 2239 02:11:28,940 --> 02:11:31,940 Goes over Verso's head. He finally gets it at the 15. 2240 02:11:31,940 --> 02:11:33,940 Running laterally at the 20. 2241 02:11:33,940 --> 02:11:35,940 Gets to the 21 yard line and goes down. 2242 02:11:35,940 --> 02:11:41,940 And it's a little difficult to see why some of those Bengals men in the wedge who have an opportunity to pick up the ball do not. 2243 02:11:41,940 --> 02:11:47,940 Amos Lawrence got down there and Verso got a lucky bounce after the ball bounced over his head. 2244 02:11:47,940 --> 02:11:49,940 And he got it back to the 22 yard line. 2245 02:11:49,940 --> 02:11:53,940 And Wersing has just kicked those numbers all afternoon long. 2246 02:11:53,940 --> 02:11:56,940 He has only put one kickoff into the air. 2247 02:11:56,940 --> 02:12:01,940 Now the Bengals get the ball back with five minutes and 14 seconds left in the game. 2248 02:12:01,940 --> 02:12:04,940 They trail by nine at 23-14. 2249 02:12:04,940 --> 02:12:08,940 The Bengals will go the three wide receivers. 2250 02:12:08,940 --> 02:12:10,940 Curtis and Crider go to the right. Collinsworth to the left. 2251 02:12:10,940 --> 02:12:12,940 They have Tina Turner with a backup. 2252 02:12:12,940 --> 02:12:14,940 On Collinsworth. 2253 02:12:14,940 --> 02:12:16,940 Anderson goes back to throw. It's a three man rush. 2254 02:12:16,940 --> 02:12:17,940 He looks. 2255 02:12:17,940 --> 02:12:18,940 Fires downfield. 2256 02:12:18,940 --> 02:12:19,940 It's intercepted. 2257 02:12:19,940 --> 02:12:20,940 It's at the 50. 2258 02:12:20,940 --> 02:12:21,940 Down to the 40. 2259 02:12:21,940 --> 02:12:22,940 The 30. 2260 02:12:22,940 --> 02:12:23,940 Down to the 25. 2261 02:12:23,940 --> 02:12:25,940 And the 21 yard line still on his feet. 2262 02:12:25,940 --> 02:12:29,940 The ball is lost and a big scramble up the 21 yard line. 2263 02:12:29,940 --> 02:12:34,940 It was Eric Wright who picked off that pass intended for Collinsworth. 2264 02:12:34,940 --> 02:12:40,940 And the 49ers have recovered a ball just short of the Bengals 21 yard line. 2265 02:12:40,940 --> 02:12:43,940 That might be it right there. 2266 02:12:43,940 --> 02:12:46,940 I think it's Willie Harper who was the guy who got on the ball. 2267 02:12:46,940 --> 02:12:49,940 Eric Wright intercepted that pass out near the 45 yard line. 2268 02:12:49,940 --> 02:12:52,940 The pass was intended for Collinsworth. 2269 02:12:52,940 --> 02:12:59,940 It came up short and Wright stepped in front and came up with a football. 2270 02:12:59,940 --> 02:13:03,940 So the 49ers will have the ball at the Bengals 22 yard line. 2271 02:13:03,940 --> 02:13:05,940 It will be first and tenth. 2272 02:13:05,940 --> 02:13:08,940 Wright ran it down the sidelines, fumbled the ball and Willie Harper recovered. 2273 02:13:08,940 --> 02:13:12,940 They have it at the 22. 2274 02:13:12,940 --> 02:13:15,940 So that is four turnovers now for the Bengals. 2275 02:13:15,940 --> 02:13:19,940 There's time out on the field. 2276 02:13:19,940 --> 02:13:24,940 81,270 the official attendance here at the Silver Dome. 2277 02:13:24,940 --> 02:13:27,940 And a big, big play by Eric Wright. 2278 02:13:27,940 --> 02:13:29,940 That ball kind of sailed on Anderson. 2279 02:13:29,940 --> 02:13:32,940 He intercepted it and unfortunately from San Francisco's standpoint, 2280 02:13:32,940 --> 02:13:37,940 unfortunately from the Bengals standpoint, they got the football. 2281 02:13:37,940 --> 02:13:41,940 Now they can run down the clock and with a nine point lead that may have been it right there. 2282 02:13:41,940 --> 02:13:44,940 Solomon will go in motion to the left side. 2283 02:13:44,940 --> 02:13:50,940 Hand off Ricky Patton tries the right side, bursts inside the 20, gets to about the 17 before Rosano 2284 02:13:50,940 --> 02:13:54,940 and Bobby Kemp along with Cameron can bang him down. 2285 02:13:54,940 --> 02:13:59,940 But he gained about four on the play on that shot into the right side and it will be second down and six. 2286 02:13:59,940 --> 02:14:02,940 The ball right at the Bengals 18 yard line. 2287 02:14:02,940 --> 02:14:06,940 Wright ran that ball back from the 45 down to about the 22. 2288 02:14:06,940 --> 02:14:10,940 The fumble ensued when he tried to lateral the ball. 2289 02:14:10,940 --> 02:14:12,940 But the 49ers got it back. 2290 02:14:12,940 --> 02:14:16,940 Now it becomes second down and six at the Bengals 18. 2291 02:14:16,940 --> 02:14:22,940 The clock is running at four minutes, 22 seconds is all that remains. 2292 02:14:22,940 --> 02:14:27,940 49ers with a seemingly safe nine point lead. 2293 02:14:27,940 --> 02:14:35,940 Big pitch into the line bursting down to the 15 yard line goes Earl Cooper diving in over the right side. 2294 02:14:35,940 --> 02:14:38,940 Cameron and a couple of others pinned him down right there. 2295 02:14:38,940 --> 02:14:39,940 Ross Browner also went in the stop. 2296 02:14:39,940 --> 02:14:44,940 He got as far as the 15, a gain of three and now it will become third down and three. 2297 02:14:44,940 --> 02:14:52,940 And the 49ers seemingly are content to run the ball, just keep it in field goal position for Wershing. 2298 02:14:52,940 --> 02:14:55,940 The Bengals right now of course need a touchdown and a field goal. 2299 02:14:55,940 --> 02:15:00,940 If they get another field goal it means that the Bengals would need two touchdowns with only 340 left to go. 2300 02:15:00,940 --> 02:15:03,940 That is not very likely. 2301 02:15:03,940 --> 02:15:06,940 The nose of the ball right at the 15, it is third and three. 2302 02:15:06,940 --> 02:15:09,940 Johnny Davis and Patner the running backs. 2303 02:15:09,940 --> 02:15:14,940 Handoff into the line, plunging all the way down to the 10 yard line before being shoved back with Davis. 2304 02:15:14,940 --> 02:15:18,940 The big 235 pounder from Alabama and he may have the first down. 2305 02:15:18,940 --> 02:15:21,940 I believe he does, yes he does. 2306 02:15:21,940 --> 02:15:23,940 Ryan ends up in the safety spot. 2307 02:15:23,940 --> 02:15:26,940 He just slammed his way right up the middle that time. 2308 02:15:26,940 --> 02:15:31,940 And he got the ball all the way down to the 10 yard line, just five yards on that power play. 2309 02:15:31,940 --> 02:15:36,940 And it is a first down for the 49ers just outside their 10 yard line. 2310 02:15:36,940 --> 02:15:44,940 Now Mike Wilson checks in for Fred Solomon. 2311 02:15:44,940 --> 02:15:48,940 The 49ers taking a lot of time, the clock running is down to 252. 2312 02:15:48,940 --> 02:15:52,940 They have 10 seconds to get off the play as they break the huddle. 2313 02:15:52,940 --> 02:15:56,940 And at 231 I believe the Bengals called a timeout here to stop the clock. 2314 02:15:56,940 --> 02:15:59,940 And if they did the Bengals will have just one timeout left. 2315 02:15:59,940 --> 02:16:01,940 Yes they have stopped it. 2316 02:16:01,940 --> 02:16:06,940 There's timeout on the field. 2317 02:16:06,940 --> 02:16:12,940 The 49ers by virtue of Eric Wright's interception have the ball right back deep in Bengals territory. 2318 02:16:12,940 --> 02:16:19,940 And after the two yard game have a second down and about seven and a half just inside the eight yard line. 2319 02:16:19,940 --> 02:16:21,940 Patton and Cooper in the backfield. 2320 02:16:21,940 --> 02:16:23,940 Now handoff is Ricky Patton running wide to the right. 2321 02:16:23,940 --> 02:16:26,940 Lozano pens him in and he falls down at the 13 yard line. 2322 02:16:26,940 --> 02:16:28,940 Loose is about five on that sweep to the right. 2323 02:16:28,940 --> 02:16:30,940 Whitley and Hicks got right over there to cover. 2324 02:16:30,940 --> 02:16:35,940 And now the Bengals call their last timeout. 2325 02:16:35,940 --> 02:16:37,940 They will not have any left. 2326 02:16:37,940 --> 02:16:41,940 Two minutes and 20 seconds is all the time that is left in this football game. 2327 02:16:41,940 --> 02:16:48,940 And the 49ers will have a third down now and about 13 yards to go back at their own 13 yard line. 2328 02:16:48,940 --> 02:16:53,940 Now remember the reception down at Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon. 2329 02:16:53,940 --> 02:16:55,940 It'll be at approximately one o'clock. 2330 02:16:55,940 --> 02:17:00,940 The Bengals' plane is scheduled to leave Metro Airport in Detroit at 11. 2331 02:17:00,940 --> 02:17:02,940 It means they should get back at about 10 to 12. 2332 02:17:02,940 --> 02:17:08,940 It'll take a while to unload all the bags, get everybody assembled and get down to Fountain Square. 2333 02:17:08,940 --> 02:17:15,940 Rain crust to the 49ers led by Bill Walch on the far sideline talking with Joe Montana. 2334 02:17:15,940 --> 02:17:18,940 The Bengals defensive man Rick Lozano, Tom Dink. 2335 02:17:18,940 --> 02:17:20,940 Talking with Hank Bulla down at the sideline. 2336 02:17:20,940 --> 02:17:23,940 The Bengals now no longer can stop the clock. 2337 02:17:23,940 --> 02:17:26,940 They have used their last timeout. 2338 02:17:26,940 --> 02:17:30,940 The Bengals came roaring back from a 20 to nothing half time deficit. 2339 02:17:30,940 --> 02:17:33,940 Scored after taking the opening kickoff in the third quarter. 2340 02:17:33,940 --> 02:17:37,940 Got down close once again when Pete Johnson was stopped fourth and inches. 2341 02:17:37,940 --> 02:17:40,940 But then came back to score on the Anderson five yard pass to Dan Ross. 2342 02:17:40,940 --> 02:17:44,940 But then the 49ers moved the ball for the first time in the second half. 2343 02:17:44,940 --> 02:17:47,940 Wershing kicked a 40 yard field goal. 2344 02:17:47,940 --> 02:17:57,940 And that gave them a seemingly impossible deficit for the Bengals to make up a 23 to 14. 2345 02:17:57,940 --> 02:18:00,940 The 49ers came into this game as a one point favorite. 2346 02:18:00,940 --> 02:18:03,940 I think I mentioned 81,270. 2347 02:18:03,940 --> 02:18:11,940 The official attendance here at the Silverdome, the first Super Bowl ever played in the North. 2348 02:18:11,940 --> 02:18:17,940 Had his third down at about 13 for the 49ers back at their own 13 yard line. 2349 02:18:17,940 --> 02:18:19,940 Montana on play action back to throw. 2350 02:18:19,940 --> 02:18:20,940 Riley chases him. 2351 02:18:20,940 --> 02:18:21,940 Can't get him. 2352 02:18:21,940 --> 02:18:23,940 Montana running at the 15 at the 10. 2353 02:18:23,940 --> 02:18:26,940 Spins away and gets to about the six yard line. 2354 02:18:26,940 --> 02:18:28,940 Reggie Williams overran him. 2355 02:18:28,940 --> 02:18:32,940 And then Ryan Hex came over to make the tackle at the six. 2356 02:18:32,940 --> 02:18:36,940 So it is far short of what they need for a first down. 2357 02:18:36,940 --> 02:18:38,940 They have to get it down to the one yard line. 2358 02:18:38,940 --> 02:18:42,940 And let's see if they're going to go or what they're going to do as we hit the two minute warning. 2359 02:18:42,940 --> 02:18:45,940 There's a timeout on the field with a score. 2360 02:18:45,940 --> 02:18:49,940 The 49ers 23 and the Bengals 14. 2361 02:18:49,940 --> 02:18:54,940 Lost in the shuffle of this ball game will be the fact that Kenny Anderson has completed 19 passes, 2362 02:18:54,940 --> 02:18:58,940 which is the new Super Bowl record for completion. 2363 02:18:58,940 --> 02:19:04,940 Hard to believe that nobody has ever completed as many as 20 passes in 15 Super Bowl games. 2364 02:19:04,940 --> 02:19:06,940 Wershing with a 23 yard field goal attempt. 2365 02:19:06,940 --> 02:19:09,940 Joe Montana will hold the ball a snap back. 2366 02:19:09,940 --> 02:19:12,940 Wershing's kick is up and through the upright. 2367 02:19:12,940 --> 02:19:17,940 And now the 49ers have a 12 point lead at 26 to 14. 2368 02:19:17,940 --> 02:19:23,940 Let's pause 15 seconds for station identification. 2369 02:19:23,940 --> 02:19:26,940 Wershing has been script kicking those kickoffs all day long. 2370 02:19:26,940 --> 02:19:35,940 And the Bengals have really had difficulty finding a handle on the ball. 2371 02:19:35,940 --> 02:19:39,940 About the farthest they have returned to kickoff all afternoon is the 17 yard line. 2372 02:19:39,940 --> 02:19:44,940 And Archie Griffin fumbled that one, reaching around vainly for it near the end of the first half 2373 02:19:44,940 --> 02:19:46,940 after they had scored a field goal. 2374 02:19:46,940 --> 02:19:51,940 And they quickly got another field goal with just five seconds left in the half. 2375 02:19:51,940 --> 02:19:54,940 So the Bengals have O'Bradyk and Blake Moore at the 20. 2376 02:19:54,940 --> 02:19:57,940 Archie Griffin looking things over backing up now to the 10. 2377 02:19:57,940 --> 02:20:00,940 And Wersher is standing back at about the three. 2378 02:20:00,940 --> 02:20:01,940 So here is Wershing's kick again. 2379 02:20:01,940 --> 02:20:02,940 He will nub it along. 2380 02:20:02,940 --> 02:20:05,940 It bounces at the 20, a big bounce, and Wersher takes it at the 10. 2381 02:20:05,940 --> 02:20:13,940 Up to the 20, he will get to about the 25, 26 yard line and goes down on the far side of the field. 2382 02:20:13,940 --> 02:20:17,940 Three or four 49ers led by Dwight Hicks were over there to haul them down. 2383 02:20:17,940 --> 02:20:20,940 The Bengals do not have any timeouts remaining. 2384 02:20:20,940 --> 02:20:24,940 They trail by 12 points with a minute and 51 seconds left. 2385 02:20:24,940 --> 02:20:27,940 They will have the ball at their own 26. 2386 02:20:27,940 --> 02:20:40,940 Anderson 19 out of 28 for 229 yards, 14 out of 22 for Montana and 157. 2387 02:20:40,940 --> 02:20:43,940 Two wide receivers to the left, one to the right. 2388 02:20:43,940 --> 02:20:45,940 Four man defensive line, Fred Dean on the outside. 2389 02:20:45,940 --> 02:20:48,940 Anderson back to throw, has a lot of time looking. 2390 02:20:48,940 --> 02:20:52,940 Now he's going to run over the far side, throws downfield, is caught by Curtis, 2391 02:20:52,940 --> 02:20:56,940 and he's dropped at the Bengals 47 yard line by Williamson. 2392 02:20:56,940 --> 02:21:00,940 The Bengals will go without virtue of a huddle. 2393 02:21:00,940 --> 02:21:06,940 A 21 yard pass reception by Isaac Curtis, it's first and 10, the Bengals at their own 47. 2394 02:21:06,940 --> 02:21:08,940 No timeouts left. 2395 02:21:08,940 --> 02:21:12,940 Again, that four man rush, Anderson back to throw, downfield, is caught by Ross at the 40. 2396 02:21:12,940 --> 02:21:16,940 He'll get down to the 38 yard line in Frisco territory. 2397 02:21:16,940 --> 02:21:22,940 San Francisco knows that time is all in their favor, a minute and 14 seconds left. 2398 02:21:22,940 --> 02:21:25,940 The Bengals line up again without a huddle. 2399 02:21:25,940 --> 02:21:27,940 They have three plays in this sequence. 2400 02:21:27,940 --> 02:21:29,940 Anderson may have to throw this one away. 2401 02:21:29,940 --> 02:21:31,940 Fires the down, is caught by Ross at the 30. 2402 02:21:31,940 --> 02:21:34,940 Spins and is dropped at the 29 yard line. 2403 02:21:34,940 --> 02:21:36,940 One minute left to play. 2404 02:21:36,940 --> 02:21:38,940 Anderson's passing to Dan Ross, complete. 2405 02:21:38,940 --> 02:21:41,940 Dan Ross has caught nine passes, I believe. 2406 02:21:41,940 --> 02:21:44,940 Now that is 10. 2407 02:21:44,940 --> 02:21:47,940 New Super Bowl record, Anderson back to throw. 2408 02:21:47,940 --> 02:21:50,940 Looking, fires it upfield at the 20 yard line. 2409 02:21:50,940 --> 02:21:56,940 Crider knocked down immediately after catching the ball by Bobby Leopold, knows Collinsworth. 2410 02:21:56,940 --> 02:21:59,940 And now the officials have called the timeout. 2411 02:21:59,940 --> 02:22:01,940 It'll stop the clock with 40 seconds left. 2412 02:22:01,940 --> 02:22:08,940 Collinsworth on that reception, knocked down by Leopold. 2413 02:22:08,940 --> 02:22:10,940 It is a penalty against the 49ers encroachment. 2414 02:22:10,940 --> 02:22:13,940 Somebody lined up offside in that neutral zone. 2415 02:22:13,940 --> 02:22:16,940 That is the reason that the clock has stopped. 2416 02:22:16,940 --> 02:22:24,940 The game on the pass plate to Collinsworth carried down to the 20 yard line and the Bengals will take it right there. 2417 02:22:24,940 --> 02:22:28,940 It's declined and the Bengals are ready to go. 2418 02:22:28,940 --> 02:22:31,940 First and 10 at the 20. 2419 02:22:31,940 --> 02:22:34,940 40 seconds is all that remains. 2420 02:22:34,940 --> 02:22:36,940 Anderson is back to throw. 2421 02:22:36,940 --> 02:22:41,940 Looking, fires down to the three yard line, is caught down at the three yard line by Crider. 2422 02:22:41,940 --> 02:22:44,940 With 30 seconds left, the Bengals will hustle on down. 2423 02:22:44,940 --> 02:22:46,940 Bobby Leopold is there to cover him. 2424 02:22:46,940 --> 02:22:50,940 It is first and goal at the 49ers three. 2425 02:22:50,940 --> 02:22:52,940 Clock running, 22 seconds left. 2426 02:22:52,940 --> 02:22:54,940 Anderson again, back to throw. 2427 02:22:54,940 --> 02:22:57,940 Look, fires into the end zone, touchdown to Dan Ross. 2428 02:22:57,940 --> 02:23:03,940 With just 16 seconds left to go, Ross again on that same play perhaps, 2429 02:23:03,940 --> 02:23:06,940 curled away from Carlton Williamson in the middle. 2430 02:23:06,940 --> 02:23:09,940 And with 16 seconds left, Ross gets his second touchdown pass. 2431 02:23:09,940 --> 02:23:14,940 With the game, his 11th pass reception, a new Super Bowl record. 2432 02:23:14,940 --> 02:23:17,940 It is now a 26 to 20 ball game. 2433 02:23:17,940 --> 02:23:20,940 And the Bengals just went 74 yards in a big hurry. 2434 02:23:20,940 --> 02:23:23,940 Anderson to Ross for the final three. 2435 02:23:23,940 --> 02:23:27,940 They did it with no timeouts left. 2436 02:23:27,940 --> 02:23:31,940 Attempting the point after the 10 at the O'Bridge. 2437 02:23:31,940 --> 02:23:37,940 No, Crider will hold. O'Bridge will attempt the extra point. 2438 02:23:37,940 --> 02:23:39,940 Lines are down, waiting for the snap. 2439 02:23:39,940 --> 02:23:42,940 It's high, O'Bridge's kick is up, and it is good. 2440 02:23:42,940 --> 02:23:46,940 So it is a 26 to 21 football game. 2441 02:23:46,940 --> 02:23:49,940 And the Bengals' only chance of course is to recover an onside kick. 2442 02:23:49,940 --> 02:23:51,940 And they might have about three plays left, 2443 02:23:51,940 --> 02:23:53,940 but they could not throw the ball down the middle of the field 2444 02:23:53,940 --> 02:23:55,940 unless they threw it all the way into the end zone, 2445 02:23:55,940 --> 02:23:58,940 because they cannot stop the clock. 2446 02:23:58,940 --> 02:24:04,940 They went 74 yards that time in very, very short order. 2447 02:24:04,940 --> 02:24:05,940 Anderson to Ross. 2448 02:24:05,940 --> 02:24:08,940 And what an afternoon Danny Ross has had. 2449 02:24:08,940 --> 02:24:11,940 Eleven receptions, two touchdowns. 2450 02:24:11,940 --> 02:24:13,940 But the 49ers have a five-point lead, 2451 02:24:13,940 --> 02:24:17,940 and the Bengals of course will have to try an onside kick. 2452 02:24:17,940 --> 02:24:19,940 The 49ers know it, and they'll have their hands team out in the field. 2453 02:24:19,940 --> 02:24:21,940 Lott is out there. 2454 02:24:21,940 --> 02:24:23,940 Hicks. 2455 02:24:23,940 --> 02:24:25,940 Probably Eric Wright. 2456 02:24:25,940 --> 02:24:30,940 And Super Bowl XVI is just 16 seconds away from being complete. 2457 02:24:30,940 --> 02:24:33,940 If the 49ers recover this kick, it is all over. 2458 02:24:33,940 --> 02:24:37,940 It is just a matter then of these final seconds ticking away. 2459 02:24:37,940 --> 02:24:39,940 The Bengals with a valiant second half comeback, 2460 02:24:39,940 --> 02:24:48,940 but they could not overcome that 20 to nothing half-time lead. 2461 02:24:48,940 --> 02:24:56,940 All the guys with the good hands, Clark, Lott, Wright, Hicks, Leopold, Mike Wilson, 2462 02:24:56,940 --> 02:25:01,940 are all up at the 45 to 50-yard line of Bengal territory 2463 02:25:01,940 --> 02:25:05,940 as Jim Breach gets set to kick it off. 2464 02:25:05,940 --> 02:25:07,940 The Bengals need a touchdown. 2465 02:25:07,940 --> 02:25:08,940 A field goal would not do it. 2466 02:25:08,940 --> 02:25:10,940 Of course they trail by five. 2467 02:25:10,940 --> 02:25:13,940 Now they'll kick it over to the left as the Bengals shift that way. 2468 02:25:13,940 --> 02:25:18,940 There's the bouncing kick, and the 49ers have it at the Bengals' 48-yard line. 2469 02:25:18,940 --> 02:25:20,940 And that will take care of it right there. 2470 02:25:20,940 --> 02:25:21,940 The 49ers got the ball. 2471 02:25:21,940 --> 02:25:23,940 Dwight Clark. 2472 02:25:23,940 --> 02:25:26,940 Oh, it was Mike Wilson. 2473 02:25:26,940 --> 02:25:28,940 One of those two. 2474 02:25:28,940 --> 02:25:29,940 The man recovered the ball. 2475 02:25:29,940 --> 02:25:34,940 I believe it was Dwight Clark, who is being assisted to his feet by his teammates. 2476 02:25:34,940 --> 02:25:37,940 Clark was the guy who recovered the ball, 2477 02:25:37,940 --> 02:25:44,940 and that will give the 49ers Super Bowl number 16. 2478 02:25:44,940 --> 02:25:47,940 All the photographers already out along the sidelines 2479 02:25:47,940 --> 02:25:50,940 crowded out in front of Coach Bill Walch on the far sideline. 2480 02:25:50,940 --> 02:25:57,940 The 49ers can flop the ball just one time, and this football game will be over. 2481 02:25:57,940 --> 02:26:02,940 So near and yet so far. 2482 02:26:02,940 --> 02:26:06,940 It's been a disappointing afternoon, but it was the first half that really did the Bengals in. 2483 02:26:06,940 --> 02:26:08,940 The Bengals have turned the ball over four times. 2484 02:26:08,940 --> 02:26:12,940 The 49ers will flop it once, and that will be the end of the game. 2485 02:26:12,940 --> 02:26:16,940 Montana takes it, goes down onto the field, and the final ten seconds will tick off. 2486 02:26:16,940 --> 02:26:22,940 And the 49ers have won the Super Bowl by a score of 26-21. 2487 02:26:22,940 --> 02:26:24,940 The photographer's out on the field. 2488 02:26:24,940 --> 02:26:27,940 There it is, and the 49ers are Super Bowl champions, 2489 02:26:27,940 --> 02:26:55,940 26-21 over the Cincinnati Bengals.
