00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:17,000
On Sunday, October 24th, 1971, the Chicago Bears faced the Detroit Lions at Tiger Stadium for his week 6 of the 1971 NFL season.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
The Bears entered the game with a 3-2 record under head coach Jim Dooley.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Detroit was 4-1 and were coached by Joe Schmidt, who led the team to a 10-4 record in 1970 and their first postseason game since their 1957 championship.

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
This game has historical significance as it features the tragic death of Lions wide receiver Chuck Hughes late in the fourth quarter.

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:01:04,000
This audio recording is from the Detroit Radio broadcast featuring announcers Van Patrick and Bob Reynolds.

7
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So as we mentioned earlier, we expect to find ourselves in the middle of a real battle here today between these two ball clubs.

8
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Remember as we mentioned, the Bears are 3-2 still very much in contention. The Lions 4-1, seeking their fifth straight win here today.

9
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
They have 6 in a row over the Chicago Bears over the past couple of seasons and they'd like to keep it going today.

10
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Man has it all set up. We're all set to go and ready to bring you all the action once again here in Van Patrick.

11
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Thank you Bob Reynolds and hello everybody. The defense are Cecil Turner along with Ron Smith and here's the boots.

12
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:50,000
High end over end kick coming down to about the 3-yard line. It's taken there by Turner back to the 15, the 20, 25 to the 30.

13
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And he's dropped down on the 30-yard line. The tackle was made by Wayne Rasmussen.

14
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
So it'll be first down and 10 to go for the Chicago Bears and that was a 27-yard return.

15
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
The Bears have the ball, first and 10 on their own 30.

16
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Cody's the center, Cabeele all the way in the guard. Wright and Jackson the tackles and Gordon and Wallace to the end.

17
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Robert Douglas is the quarterback and he's a left-hander.

18
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Farmer's foot out wide to the right. Gordon is deployed to the left.

19
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
They're in the I-formation now, the Chicago Bears.

20
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Out checked the Lions defense. Grabowski's in there as a running back and the give instead is Suzanne Shai the fullback.

21
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
And he is to the 34-yard line and the tackle is made right there.

22
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Making the tackle was Mike Winger coming up for the secondary along with Dick Eadie, number 77.

23
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Lucci and Walker both the 16 and the ball on the 34.

24
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It'll be second down and six yards to go now for the Chicago Bears.

25
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Grabowski, Shai and Farmer in the backfield with Bobby Douglas.

26
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Lions have Mitchell E.V. rushing hand up front. Newbork, Lucci and Walker backing up the line.

27
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Bobby Williams is in there in the cornerback in place of Lynn Barney.

28
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
It's a close set with two flackers and Douglas throws one out of the right flat.

29
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
It's completed the Farmer but the tackle is made immediately by Bobby Williams.

30
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
He might have moved it to the 36-yard line. We'll wait until they bring it in and mark it down.

31
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
It'll swing fast out in the right flat and as I mentioned Bobby Douglas is a left-handed thrower.

32
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Number 89, number 45 coming in here. That's it.

33
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Gordon moving back in. He had gone out to the left side.

34
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
And the big number 89 is Wallace, the tight end who was also on the left side.

35
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
He's 6'3, 220.

36
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Now Gordon is deployed to the right side.

37
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000
It's then Farmer over on the left side in the dive formation with a third and four situation.

38
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Douglas with the football and the pitch back there to his running back Shai who cuts in.

39
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
He's dropped at the 39-yard line. He's shy I believe of a first down.

40
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Tackle was made by Wayne Walker of the Detroit Lions.

41
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And also in on the tackle and giving up rather slowly there for Detroit is Jim Mitchell.

42
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
So that brings up a fourth down and one so the defense did the job.

43
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Walker is hurt.

44
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Wayne Walker has a shoulder injury as he goes off the sideline and can't stop the trainer if it's enough.

45
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Bobby Joe Green, 5'11, 175 pounder is in there to do the punting.

46
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Dropping back for the Detroit Lions.

47
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Chuck Hughes is back there.

48
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Looks like Gibson also back there and it is.

49
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And here is the lead taken on the 27-yard line taken by Walton.

50
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And Walton is dropped on the 27-yard line.

51
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Dropped down on the 27th. He's a printer with a running on the tackle at the 34-yard pitch.

52
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
They had Larry Walton back there that time with Chuck Hughes.

53
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Lynn Barney who usually works back there is out of the ballgame and probably will miss next week's game.

54
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Earl McCullough came out and has gone right back on the sidelines again.

55
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Paul Gibson has been moved on the taxi squad. Al Clark has been activated and so has Mel Farr.

56
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
All right, ready to go. First down and 10 from the 26-yard line of Detroit.

57
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Greg Landry in the high formation with two receivers on the left side.

58
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Bruckus calling those defensive signals. A bit back is Alfie Taylor.

59
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Taylor gets a block. He's at the 25 and he finally knocks out of bounds on about the 27-yard line.

60
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
And Jeter is the man who knocked him out of bounds. And I'll check that defense now to bear it.

61
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Willie Holman is playing left end. O'Gradovich is the right end.

62
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
George Seals and Staley are the tacklers.

63
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And Brubacher are the linebackers. They've got Charlie Ford, Ron Smith, Jerry Moore, and Bob Jeter in that secondary for Chicago.

64
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
So one yard on the play and out wide to the right goes Walton.

65
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
To the left side is McCullough who's in there now.

66
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And in the pro set, Steve Owens and Alfie Taylor with the setbacks for Detroit.

67
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Greg Landry calling the signals. Look at Bruckus. He's moving around, stunning a little bit.

68
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Owens with the football. 35-yard line. He's got very close to the first down.

69
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
He found the hole over the right side, Bob, with Clayton Gallagher clearing the way.

70
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
It really looks like he was trying to there, man.

71
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
After that, I've seen Steve move as you were mentioning Bruckus.

72
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
I took my eye off the play, the running play, and was watching Dick.

73
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
He keeps planning in a real go down. He keeps talking to him all the time.

74
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,000
And Flanagan says every time he plays Chicago Bears, there's no problem for me to get up.

75
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,000
He said I just can't anticipate meeting head on with Dick Bruckus.

76
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,000
He's a little unorthodox, but he said he's all the great football player that everybody says he is.

77
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And indeed, he is just that.

78
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
All right, third down and about a half a yard to go for the Lions.

79
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
They have a tight formation with the exception of Walton who's set out about five yards to the right side.

80
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Steve Owens, the second leading rusher in the National Football League.

81
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Bruckus almost went across there.

82
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000
The game is through Owens, and he didn't make it, but there's a flag on the play.

83
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Bluebuckers, the man who made the tackle there.

84
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Bruckus started across, and then he jumped back.

85
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I don't know what the, I think it's going to be against the Bears to be offside Bob Early with the finger.

86
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
That's it. It may be even longer than that.

87
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000
No, it's the five yarder.

88
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
They're offside, as you call it, against the Bears, which lose the ball to the 41 and gives the Lions that first down.

89
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,000
If they would not have had, they didn't make the yardage on the running play.

90
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,000
But the penalty gives it to the first and 10 of their own 41.

91
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
So in the opening moments of this one, no score, the Bears and the Lions.

92
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Greg Landry, the quarterback, he's completed 53 out of 101 this year.

93
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
First to 10 from the Lions 41.

94
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Look at that defense starting around there.

95
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
The Bears, they keep moving around.

96
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Landry's back to throw.

97
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
He lets him throw.

98
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
He's completed at the 45 yard line.

99
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
He's at the 50 to 45, and he's out of bounds.

100
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And Jerry Wilde, chasing out of bounds.

101
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
They've got another first down.

102
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And Landry hits Alty Taylor out on the right flat, and that's the second first down.

103
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Whoa, we've got some surprises on that scoreboard.

104
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Riverdale is leading New York 13 to 7.

105
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Atlanta is ahead of New Orleans 21 to nothing.

106
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Denver leads Cleveland 14 to nothing.

107
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Houston leading Pittsburgh 10 to 6, and the Jets leading Miami 7 to 3.

108
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Let it all in.

109
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,000
15 yards made on that pass play.

110
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,000
First and 10 now, the ball is on the 44 yard line of Chicago.

111
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Two setbacks, two flunkers.

112
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Owens with the ball, punching over right guard, and Owens gets down to about the 40.

113
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And I'm happy to have another round of tension there with working and planning.

114
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
That's what I was just talking about, that two of them really have a great day.

115
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Every time they play against each other.

116
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
And you know, then, planning it makes a lot of it, too.

117
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000
And Rutkus himself says that Burnigan does the best job as anybody in the league of flocking.

118
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000
This is really a confrontation between the center and it.

119
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Pretty bad, Burnigan's got his head down on every play.

120
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Rutkus playing almost nose to nose with him.

121
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
It's second down and seven yards to go.

122
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Landry on the call.

123
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
It's really stunning on that defense today.

124
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
Here's Alty Taylor, 35, 30.

125
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,000
He's gone to the 26 yard line before he's walked out.

126
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000
He's gone to hold over the right side and Smith made the tackle for Chicago.

127
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
That's another first shot.

128
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,000
That's not their man on that face.

129
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
That's the one that Owens busted through for the yardage.

130
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:13,000
And Taylor followed it beautifully.

131
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
The ball is on the 26 yard line of Chicago.

132
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
And Landry is doing an exceptional job of mixing up his play, Bob.

133
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Yes, he is.

134
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
First and 10 from the bare 26 yard line.

135
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
High formation now.

136
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Owens right through the middle.

137
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000
He's gone to the 18 yard line with that ball.

138
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Rutkus made the tackle, but not before Steve moved it down to the 18,

139
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
getting about eight yards on the player.

140
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
It'll be second down and two to go.

141
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Owens, second leading rusher in the conference.

142
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Ball is midway between the sideline strikes on the 18 yard line of the Chicago Bears.

143
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Second down and two to go.

144
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Walton to the right side.

145
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
McCullough's in the slot to the right.

146
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Sanders is tied in on the left side.

147
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
It's an high formation.

148
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Rutkus calling those defensive figures for Chicago and stunning around,

149
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
moving around out there.

150
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
And they go the other way and it's Owens at the 15, down to the 10.

151
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Owens down to the 7.

152
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
First down, that's going.

153
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Lyle made the tackle.

154
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
You know, one thing about Dick Baskin's man that we have watched over the years,

155
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
he is a gambler.

156
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
He likes to gamble.

157
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
He likes to guess.

158
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And that time is a typical example of where the big guy gets wrong.

159
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,000
He went to the outside and Landry sent the play to the other side.

160
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,000
And Rutkus was out of position on it.

161
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
They caught him looking the other way.

162
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Down to the 6 yard line.

163
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
First down and goal to go.

164
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
11 yards came down the play.

165
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Walton to the left side.

166
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
McCullough to the right side.

167
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Landry really mixing up his plays in this drive, which started on the line in 26.

168
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Owens, he stopped at the 5.

169
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
He's got a yard, that's all.

170
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
And Rutkus again and on the tackle for Chicago along with Willie Holden,

171
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
the defensive left in.

172
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
And O'Bradyvich, who's been around longer than George Halleck.

173
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:16,000
He's been this late 10 years, Ed O'Bradyvich.

174
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
He takes mean bills too, that's what he does every day.

175
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Fine football player.

176
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,000
The ball is just over the 6.

177
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Charlie Sanders on the right side, put out a few yards now.

178
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And Larry Walton is also outside on the right.

179
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Landry's back to throw.

180
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
He's left throw incomplete.

181
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000
He threw it to Sanders in the end zone, but it's incomplete.

182
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
He almost made up his mind to run.

183
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Smith got a hand on the ball and knocked it right out of Sanders' hands, Bob.

184
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Yes, and he threw that thing like a bullet too.

185
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
I don't think Charlie had much of a chance on it.

186
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Landry, as you mentioned, could have run.

187
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
He had some room there.

188
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
He could have got inside the vibe on it.

189
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
But as he said before the season started this year,

190
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
that he was going to run only when he felt that he had a real great opportunity.

191
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
He would run around, but he's still going to look for those pass receivers

192
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
and try to get the ball to them.

193
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Here's that big third down now.

194
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Let's see what he does now.

195
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
He might try it wide with Taylor on the pitch.

196
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Let's see.

197
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Or he might, it's third down, remember, and the ball is on about the 6-yard line.

198
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And Landry now is going back to throw.

199
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
He gets some time.

200
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
He throws it clean, caught out there by Owens,

201
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,000
but a flag is down holding against Detroit.

202
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000
Now that's something that the Lions would like to have avoided, certainly, right there,

203
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,000
although he didn't pick up enough for the first down,

204
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
but the holding penalty will set them back.

205
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
It'll still be third down and goal to go.

206
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
But instead of being down there inside the 5,

207
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:56,000
that ball will be moved out somewhere up around the neighborhood of the 20-yard line.

208
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
21, actually the 20 with the new statistical rule that they have in the National Football League.

209
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,000
The ball is over the 21-yard going the other way as the Lions are,

210
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
why they will officially call it 20 yards.

211
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Owens is out of there and Mel Farr is in now,

212
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
making his first appearance after being activated just the other day.

213
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
So the down is the third.

214
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
It is goal to go, and the ball, that's the 20.

215
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
But of course, getting far in there, Bob, not only gives you a running threat,

216
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,000
but he's also a fine pass receiver.

217
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
And Triplett is in there now at the pullback spot.

218
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Mel Farr has been activated and can be utilized today and will be.

219
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
That goes long to throw.

220
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
He throws over the middle and it's in.

221
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
It's knocked down, almost unexpected.

222
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
He had a hand on the ball and almost intercepted it.

223
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
So that brings in the field goal unit for Detroit.

224
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,000
That 15-yard penalty moves the ball back to the 21-yard line.

225
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
And so the Lions have Errol Mann in now to attempt.

226
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
What's he done so far, Bob?

227
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Man will attempt this one from about the 28-yard line,

228
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
and last month he was a hole.

229
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
He's 8 out of 14.

230
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
8 out of 14 for Errol Mann.

231
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:23,000
It's an angle at the hash mark off to the left.

232
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
The ball is started, the kick is up, and the kick is good.

233
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Throw it to 28-yard field goal, and the clock is just stopped on the field

234
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
with a score.

235
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Detroit 3, Chicago nothing.

236
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
It's just hard to believe that ball came between Denver and Cleveland

237
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
being played in Cleveland at 24-0 now.

238
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Denver leading Cleveland.

239
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000
28-yard field goal by Errol Mann, the Lions lead at 3-0.

240
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Deep man Art Turner along with Ron Smith.

241
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
There's the whistle, here's the booze by man.

242
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
High end overhand kick.

243
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Swimming down to Smith at the 2, he's back to the 5,

244
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
at the 10, he goes to the 15, 20, 25, 30,

245
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
and he's finally hauled down by Charlie Weaver

246
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
after a brilliant run back of 41 yards.

247
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
So, Weaver finally got him from behind to get him down.

248
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Put that ball on the 41-yard line and make it first down

249
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
and tend to go for the Chicago Bears who have good field positions.

250
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And Bobby Douglas, the quarterback, left-handed thrower.

251
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Dick Gordon has 25 receptions for 345 yards to lead the league.

252
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Farmers flank to the right side, Gordon to the left.

253
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000
They're in a pro set now.

254
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Guy and Grabowski are the setbacks.

255
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Bobby Douglas waiting for it, and Douglas is going back to throw again.

256
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
He looks, he throws, and this one is caught at the 45-yard line

257
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
in front of Bobby Williams by Farmer.

258
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
It'll be a first down for the Bears, and they have the rush on all right,

259
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
but Douglas got rid of the ball.

260
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
That run back on the kickoff up to the 41-yard line

261
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
just emphasizes the importance of the specialty teams here in professional football.

262
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,000
It gave the Bears good field position.

263
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Joe Smith was quoted this week as saying that the specialty teams

264
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
are so vitally important that sometimes they can win

265
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
three or four ball games a season for you by giving you good field position

266
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
by running kickoffs back.

267
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
They're very important.

268
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
15 yards gained on that play.

269
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
The fast farmer to the right side, Gordon to the left side.

270
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:24,000
The pro set, Grabowski with the football, and he is down to the 41-yard line.

271
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Four yards.

272
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Raleigh Hand made the tackle for Detroit along with Mike Luchy.

273
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Check those linebackers out there.

274
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Walker went out of there with an injured shoulder, but he's back in there again.

275
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Ball is on the 41-yard line.

276
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,000
It will be second down and about seven.

277
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Miami's leading the Jets now 10 to 7.

278
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Houston over Pittsburgh 10 to 6.

279
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Philadelphia leading New York 13 to 7.

280
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Gorse, the only flanker, is put out to the right.

281
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Now they're putting Farmer.

282
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Well, they're changing around the tight end wallets,

283
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000
moving over on the right side with a second down and about seven.

284
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000
They're in the high formation.

285
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000
It's shy with the football, good running room, and he's at the 35-yard line with it.

286
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Tackle is made by Newbaum at the 35-yard line.

287
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
He's very close to the first down.

288
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Mike Luchy was also in on the tackle.

289
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,000
And Wallace is going out.

290
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
They're going to bring the chain in for a measurement, Robert.

291
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Looks from up here, let's take a guess.

292
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Man, he'll be about a half an inch short.

293
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Douglas standing right over the official shoulder.

294
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Right, Robert, I think it's an inch, just about an inch.

295
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Now coming in here for the Chicago Bears.

296
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Gray Ogden is coming in.

297
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
He's from Alabama, seven years in the league.

298
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And he's coming in there in place of Farmer.

299
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Gordon is set out to the right side, doing an high formation,

300
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
a tight formation with the exception of Gordon.

301
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000
And the pro set with Grabowski and Chai.

302
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Bobby Douglas in the third down, and they make contact out there.

303
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Lions look like they might have jumped offside.

304
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Let's see if they drew them off.

305
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
The play is right on the 35-yard line.

306
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
It was against Detroit, of course.

307
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,000
It'll get them a first down.

308
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And the officials will walk it off against Detroit.

309
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,000
They've got two costly penalties here in this first quarter.

310
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
With five minutes and 16 seconds to go in the first quarter,

311
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
three to nothing to point.

312
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
The ball is moved down to the 30-yard line,

313
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
where it's first down for the Chicago Bears.

314
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
This is what Joe was talking about then this week, too.

315
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
And he said, you know, we can't keep making these mistakes

316
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
as we made in the Houston game, and the week before that,

317
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
and the week before that, and continue to win.

318
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
You've got to cut down on them.

319
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
They hurt you.

320
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
One-on-one over here, Farmer and Bobby Williams,

321
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
although Mike Wigger is dropping off and having a look over there.

322
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
And Douglas back throws, and it is completed.

323
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,000
At the 23-yard line, out of bounds on the 21 goes Farmer.

324
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
And they're picking on Bobby Williams over there,

325
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
the cornerback in place there for Lynn Barney.

326
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Douglas is an interesting story.

327
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
He's a youngster from Kansas who's only in his third season.

328
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
And he threw four left-handed touchdown passes

329
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
against Buffalo last November, his third,

330
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000
and has developed his final appearance of the season

331
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
because very early in the game he had a fractured wrist

332
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
and actually threw three of those four touchdowns

333
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
with the fractured wrist.

334
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
He didn't play after that.

335
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Farmer's caught three passes for 26 yards.

336
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
He's on the right side, Gordon on the left side,

337
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000
the ball on the 21, and it's a shy 15-10-5 touchdown,

338
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Chicago.

339
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Down shy, just whipped right through there,

340
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000
and scored for Chicago, and the Bears are leading.

341
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
59 yards in five plays.

342
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:54,000
He went 21 yards on the touchdown runoff right back on.

343
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Oh, he was.

344
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
21 yards.

345
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
He's 6'1", a five-year man from San Diego State.

346
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Don's shy.

347
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Now we'll have the crowd support Matt Percival.

348
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
He'll attempt the extra point Bobby Douglas will hold.

349
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,000
The Bears are out in front, 6-3.

350
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
So they came right back.

351
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:19,000
5-0-4 to go in the first quarter.

352
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Kick is up and good.

353
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
The practice stopped on the field with a score,

354
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Chicago 7-3, on the touchdown of Don Shy.

355
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Percival moves forward.

356
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Here's the kick high and overhand kick going back forward

357
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
is Jesse, and it goes out of the end zone.

358
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
It'll be brought back out the 20-yard line in play there,

359
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,000
first down and 10 to go.

360
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Both the Detroit Lions are on the short end

361
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
of a 7-3 score to the Chicago Bears.

362
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
They almost throw the odds right out the window

363
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
every time these two clubs get together.

364
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Atlanta is still leading New Orleans 21-3.

365
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:07,000
He had Denver ahead of Cleveland 24 to nothing.

366
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
First and 10 Detroit from their own 20-yard line.

367
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Landry sends McCullough to the left,

368
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Walton to the right, Taylor and Owens to the setbacks.

369
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
And here's they get to Owens.

370
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
And Owens gets to about the 22-yard line

371
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
and Bucks has pulled him back.

372
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Lubach here was also in there on the tackle.

373
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,000
It'll be a gain of a couple of yards,

374
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
second down coming up.

375
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Also in there was George Seale,

376
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
defensive tackle from Missouri.

377
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Second and eight for Detroit from their own 22-yard line.

378
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
The Lions break out of it with McCullough to the left,

379
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Walton to the right, Charlie Sanders on the right side.

380
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Throw set, Taylor and Owens,

381
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Greg Landry calling the fixers.

382
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
But this is stationary this time.

383
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
He is moving in motion now.

384
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
It goes out to Taylor.

385
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
And back goes Landry to throw.

386
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Stays in the pocket, looks, throws to McCullough,

387
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
and he's whipped down.

388
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,000
McCullough's whipped down on the 45-yard line.

389
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Bucks is down at the 10-yard line.

390
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
It'll be a personal foul,

391
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
against the Chicago Bears down there,

392
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
one of the Bears a little overly aggressive with an elbow.

393
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Number 57 down there.

394
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
57, or who is it?

395
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
I can't see from here.

396
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
The last man there talking up, George Seale.

397
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Throw a little elbow at the number 67.

398
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
That's right, it's Seale.

399
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Who threw an elbow at Landry after he got rid of the ball.

400
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
So of course the Lions will pick up the first down on the penalty.

401
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
To the 37-yard line, where they'll have it first and 10.

402
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
We've got 414 remaining here in the first quarter.

403
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
7 of 3, Chicago.

404
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
McCullough, whoops, he was open,

405
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
and he would have caught the ball, but he slipped, fell.

406
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
First and 10 from the 37.

407
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Taylor in motion again.

408
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Moving to the left side, and back goes Landry.

409
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Throws over to the middle.

410
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Sanders at the 15-yard line.

411
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
He's got down on the 43-yard line.

412
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
Charlie Sanders, catching the reception, and forward.

413
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Make the pass.

414
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Charlie Ford from Houston, a rookie.

415
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
At 6, first down, 44.

416
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
They have it on the bare 43, so the Lions are coming right back.

417
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,000
With 3.58 to go in the first quarter, and they're down by 4, 73.

418
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Flanagan at the center.

419
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Mccullough and Gallagher, the guards.

420
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Freitas and Yarborough, the tackle.

421
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
20 yards on that play.

422
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
McCullough and Sanders, the ends.

423
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It's all on the 43-yard line of the Chicago Bears.

424
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,000
McCullough to the right side.

425
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000
Larry Walton deployed to the left, and Sanders on the left.

426
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Taylor and Owens, right back at the quarterback, Greg Landry.

427
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Three and a half minutes to play in the first quarter.

428
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Landry on a give to Owens, the tap up the middle, and he's down to the 37-yard line.

429
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
With it brought down by Butchers.

430
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Let's pause briefly for station identification.

431
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
This is the Detroit Lions football network.

432
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Brad Patrick, along with Bob Reynolds at Tiger Stadium.

433
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Owens in seven carries has gained 41 yards today.

434
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Walton to the left side.

435
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
McCullough to the right, second and fourth.

436
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,000
He's got six on that carry.

437
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,000
And Landry now on a pitch to Taylor, trying to go wide, runs into a lot of traffic.

438
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
He's down on the 41-yard line, number 63 there.

439
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Walton just couldn't clear him out.

440
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Grubacher made the tackle along with Jeter.

441
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
So the ball is back on the 41.

442
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,000
The series originated on the 43, so it's third and eight.

443
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
And an almost obvious passing situation now for young Greg Landry.

444
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
And coming in defensively, the Dooley shift, as they call it, in Chicago.

445
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
He started putting in those extra defensive pats.

446
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
And he's in.

447
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Yard is coming in there, making McGee out.

448
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
McCullough to the left, Walton to the right, third down, eight.

449
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Landry with a long cadence count, and Landry is going back to bro.

450
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Bates in the pocket, gets the time.

451
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Finally runs out of it, but he's going to be dropped back on the 42-yard line by Willie Holden.

452
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
You can just hold it so long, and you get in trouble.

453
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
The Bears have the prevent defense on against Pats.

454
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
And of course, they had only four minutes on everybody covering them.

455
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
They knew that Landry was going to go to the air on it.

456
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
He just couldn't get anybody loose.

457
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
So he got trapped back there at the 42-yard line.

458
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
And Earl Mann is in now.

459
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,000
He'll put this one from the neighborhood of the midfield marker.

460
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
And there's not much of a factor, though, I think, what there is, man.

461
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,000
He's got a little bit at his back here.

462
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Well, I suppose if you call it a 49-yard attempt,

463
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,000
grass muck will hold.

464
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
That serves the purpose of the front if he doesn't get it in there.

465
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Bears drop a man back, Turner.

466
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
The kick by Earl Mann.

467
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
He's got the distance all right, and it's good.

468
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,000
29-yard field goal by Earl Mann.

469
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
It's 1 o'clock to stop on the field to score.

470
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Chicago 7 to Drake 6.

471
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,000
Earl Mann, who just booted the field goal,

472
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
sets the ball up on the 40 and is all set.

473
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Turner and Smith are the deep men for Chicago.

474
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Here's the whistle.

475
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Here's the boot by Mann.

476
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Good high and overhand kick.

477
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Down to the 2-yard line.

478
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,000
It's taken by Smith to the 5, 10, 15, goes to the 20.

479
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
And he has walked down on the 26-yard line.

480
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
And Drake's gotten his man.

481
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Nicky Zopko made a dive for him back on the 15, Bob,

482
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
and almost got him back there.

483
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000
24-yard return.

484
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
The ball is on the 26-yard line.

485
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
The man is 6'1", 28'1", 49.

486
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
But the Lions are still on the short end of the 7 to 6 score.

487
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Dallas leading New England 10 to nothing in the first quarter.

488
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Now we'll see now whether Lions defense can shore up a little bit on those running plays.

489
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Gordon and Farmer are flanked.

490
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Gordon to the right side.

491
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Shy and Drabowski the setbacks.

492
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
And here's Douglas going to give the shy.

493
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
And Shy gets about a yard or two.

494
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000
And that's all trying the left side.

495
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Mike Lucey and Wayne Walker and Jim Mitchell and Jerry Rush all in there to make the tackle for Detroit.

496
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
And they'll mark that ball on the 27.

497
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
He got exactly 1 yard on the play.

498
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Coming in now is Carl Thomas replacing Bob Wallace at the tight end for Chicago.

499
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000
Bobby Williams over there.

500
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
His job on the left side.

501
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And he keeps covering the man over there on the right side of Chicago.

502
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
And it's Farmer over there now.

503
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And Weager dropping off a little bit to keep an eye on him also.

504
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
And it's one-on-one LeBeau over there with Gordon to give us the shy breakthrough.

505
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,000
He's at the 35.

506
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
He's up to the 39-yard line.

507
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
And they had him stop back there on the line of scrimmage.

508
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Evey and Newmont had him, but he broke through and picked up a first down on the 39-yard line.

509
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Now on the touchdown run of Shy, there was some shy tackling and there was some more right there.

510
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
Once you have them contained, you better hang on to them.

511
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Big play there for the Bears who move with a first down to their own 39-yard line.

512
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Just a matter of one second left here at the end of the quarter.

513
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,000
That's it.

514
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
That's the end of the first quarter and the score.

515
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Chicago 7, Detroit 6.

516
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
And it's completed out there at the 45 to Shy.

517
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:00,000
And Shy is hit at the 45 by Wayne Walker and brought down on the 45-yard line.

518
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
But he's got 6 yards on the play.

519
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Second down and 4 to go for Chicago.

520
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Jerry Rush was also in on the tackle.

521
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:32,000
The way out is in there now.

522
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,000
And the first down, the racing farmer, Gordon on the right side, the I-formation.

523
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Second down and about 4 yards to go.

524
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Now in the pro set, Bobby Douglas running the ball.

525
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
Club Belong including the linebackers almost on the line of scrimmage.

526
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Shy with the football and he is hit at the 45.

527
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Trying to go off right tackle and Paul Newmont on the tackle with Mike Lucey.

528
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
And on the bottom of the fire Jim Mitchell.

529
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,000
So they'll mark that ball just over the 45-yard line, which brings up a third down.

530
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Now farmers coming back in and Hodgkin goes out.

531
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Bears are leading.

532
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000
San Francisco and St. Louis have nothing, nothing at the end of one.

533
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
In that first period the Lions got 6 first downs.

534
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
The Bears 4.

535
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Rushing, the Lions 52 and the Bears 50.

536
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:19,000
And so the statistics are indicative of the closest to the score, 7 to 6.

537
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Shy of 6 carries has gained 47 yards.

538
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Pro set, two flankers.

539
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Third down, about 3, 3 and a half to go.

540
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Douglas on the call.

541
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Big play for him right here.

542
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
He's going back to throw.

543
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Bears in that pocket.

544
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Let's go.

545
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Young B down.

546
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Look out.

547
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Third, 25, 25, 25.

548
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Farmers touchdown.

549
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Chicago.

550
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,000
They got behind Bobby Williams over there.

551
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
And he pulled that hamstring again.

552
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Williams did around the 15-yard line.

553
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
He was limping.

554
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Beautifully thrown fast.

555
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Right on the money.

556
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
To George Farmer.

557
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:59,000
He's got to throw 74 and 5 and pick up the touchdown on the 45-yard fast play.

558
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,000
There wasn't much Williams could do after Farmer got behind him.

559
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:09,000
He's still bothered by that pull hamstring and the pass was right where it should have been.

560
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000
And so the Bears now have gone out in front.

561
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:20,000
13 to 6 that are about to make it 14 on Percival's BAT.

562
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
He really was open.

563
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Ball is spun.

564
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Kick is up and the pitch is good.

565
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
The clock is stopped on the field with a score.

566
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Chicago 14, Detroit 6.

567
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Farmer with that catch now has caught four for 71 and the touchdown.

568
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,000
And Douglas has done an exceptionally fine job.

569
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:44,000
He is 5 for 5 for 80 yards.

570
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Deeth Jesse along with Al Clark and here's Percival's kick.

571
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
High end over end kick and Jesse waits for it.

572
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
He's got the heart, makes it in the end zone.

573
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
He comes back to the 5, goes to the 10.

574
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Let's have a block at the 15.

575
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
He's to the 40, the 45, the 30, the 35.

576
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,000
He's at the 40, the 45, the 50, the 45, the 40, the 45, the 30, the 45, the 30, the 25.

577
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000
20, 15, win 5, touchdown!

578
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:27,000
102 yards.

579
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Officially 102 yards as we call.

580
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Ron Chucky electrified this crowd and they're all standing at 5 or 6.

581
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
That was something.

582
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
And how the blocking formed for him over there.

583
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
He made one good move at his own 35 yard line.

584
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
And then picking up the blocking was gone.

585
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,000
And now you see why this young man is the leading front return, kickoff return in the lead.

586
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Well, man, this kick is good.

587
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Brought the stop for the score, Chicago 14, Detroit 13.

588
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,000
That was Jesse's seventh kickoff return for 297 yards.

589
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Here's the big bye man.

590
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
It's a high end over end kick but short.

591
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Down on the 7.

592
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,000
It's taken over there by Turner at the 15, 20, 25.

593
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
He is fifth drop.

594
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Every week there's a 26 yard line.

595
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Bill Crippett is the captain of this specialty team and Bill Crippett made the tackle.

596
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Incidentally, there are eight clubs in the National Football Conference that have special team captains.

597
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Only two, however, in the American Football Conference.

598
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
We mentioned Lem Barney is absent today.

599
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,000
He's resting at home and I hope certainly he's enjoying the ball game.

600
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Lem, we hope you'll be back with us again real soon.

601
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Incidentally, missing only his third game, man, in his entire career.

602
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
He's a great football player and a great individual.

603
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Pender is in there now fullback for Chicago.

604
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Two flankers waiting for it now as the quarterback Bobby Douglas.

605
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,000
He's back to throw.

606
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Bill going back and batted down by Jim Mitchell.

607
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Mitchell moved three down, batted that ball down.

608
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
That little pressure on Douglas Uptown.

609
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:29,000
San Francisco leads St. Louis leading up into the second quarter.

610
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Al Clark has replaced Bobby Williams over there because Williams has a full drawing muscle.

611
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,000
He just couldn't run at all a while ago on that touchdown that the Bears picked up.

612
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
So Al Clark is in there, youngster from Eastern Michigan.

613
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
He's at the cornerback.

614
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,000
You can imagine he's got a few butterflies.

615
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Heading forward is Bobby Douglas.

616
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Douglas on a give, not a pender.

617
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Pender ripping off white tackle.

618
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
It drops on the 30-yard line.

619
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Mike Lucey hitting first.

620
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
Then Jerry Rush, the bottom of the pile, Jim Mitchell.

621
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:13,000
So the series originating on the 26th, the ball is on the 30th, so that means third down, six Bears leading 14 to 13 with 11.58 to play in the first half.

622
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,000
You know, Van, that kickoff return of Jesse is his seventh for 297.

623
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,000
Gives him an average of 49 every time that he's carried the ball on a kickoff return.

624
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Two touchdowns.

625
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
He's number one in the league, and Gibson of the Lions is number two.

626
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Third down.

627
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Here's the process with the two-plackers.

628
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Bobby Douglas with a passing situation confronting him.

629
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Looks over the defense.

630
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Now he's going back to throw.

631
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
He throws a swing pass out in the left flap.

632
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
It's completed for a left.

633
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Bobby Vaughn made the top-along throw tender back on the 27-yard line.

634
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:53,000
And it's four to nine.

635
00:34:53,000 --> 00:35:00,000
That kickoff return was only two yards short of the all-time Lions kickoff return record held by Terry Barr.

636
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
I was just going to guess.

637
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Yeah, fine.

638
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
And let me tell you something, I would have been wrong.

639
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I was thinking about Bob Smith.

640
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Terry Barr and Gene Getman.

641
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,000
I would have been wrong.

642
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Quick formation now.

643
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Bobby Joe Green is back there.

644
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,000
Chuck Hughes is back here along with Larry Walton in the safety position, and they get it away.

645
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
High foul.

646
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Fair catch is called for by Larry Walton on the 32-yard line.

647
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,000
The Lions have the football first and 10 after that 41-yard kick from their own 32.

648
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Dallas leads New England 10-7 in the first quarter.

649
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Philadelphia ahead of New York 13-7.

650
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
San Francisco prevailing over St. Louis 3-0.

651
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
In the third quarter, Miami leads the Jets 13-7.

652
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Houston over Pittsburgh 10-6.

653
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Last night, San Diego beat Buffalo 20-3.

654
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
Got a dandy coming up tomorrow night, too, man.

655
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,000
And that Baltimore Vittorio.

656
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
What a cruncher that'll be.

657
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Great football game that'll be.

658
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,000
You won't be rooting for Baltimore, will you?

659
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
I'd like to see him do it, you know.

660
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Simply because they're a moral picture, right, guys?

661
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,000
With a standing for central division, I'd love to do it with you.

662
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Oh, my golly, that's right.

663
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Yeah.

664
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Yeah.

665
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Well, we've got a timeout down there.

666
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
The ball at the 32-yard line.

667
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000
When we get playing again, the Lions will have it.

668
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
First down and 10.

669
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:31,000
We've got 10-39 remaining here in the first half of this ballgame with the Lions failing by 1-14 to 13 in the typical Lions-vera football game.

670
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Lions, incidentally, speaking of Monday night, will be next in action a week from tomorrow night at Milwaukee.

671
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:44,000
And that, too, ought to be something as we meet the Green Bay Packers up there on Monday night.

672
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Right ball, first and 10 on the 32-yard line of Detroit.

673
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Two planters, two setbacks, Taylor Nolan.

674
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Red Landry, the quarterback, calling the signals.

675
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And Landry ought to give the horns on through the middle.

676
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,000
Gets only yard or two and brought down right up the middle.

677
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:03,000
The tackle is made by Dunlop-Om, the linebacker of the Chicago Bears.

678
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
So mark the ball on the 33-yard line.

679
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
George Fields also on the tackle.

680
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,000
And the ball is marked on the 33.

681
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000
The only yard gained by Steve in the second down.

682
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:18,000
And nine to go for the Detroit Lions who are trailing the Chicago Bears 14 to 13.

683
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Walton and McCullough are both on the left side.

684
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,000
The Lions are lining up in an eye formation now.

685
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Charlie Sanders on the right side.

686
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Greg Landry calling the signal.

687
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Landry breaks the ball, keeps it himself.

688
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Makes it to Owens and keeps it himself and goes through the 37 on the keeper.

689
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,000
And Gary Lyle made the tackle for the Chicago Bears at that point.

690
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I think now, yet, Taylor trailing him around the left side,

691
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
that he might have intended to cross it to Taylor,

692
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
but then he thought it was a little dangerous.

693
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
One of those defensive backs coming up to cover.

694
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
It's an option play for Greg.

695
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,000
He can take a quick look and do whichever he wants on it.

696
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
He can pitch it out or keep it himself.

697
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,000
He thought he'd spot a little running room until he kept it,

698
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000
but just slowed him up, grabbed him by the sleeve and slowed him up.

699
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,000
And then the tackle was made secure by Gary Lyle.

700
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
It's all on the 38-yard line.

701
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
It's third down and four.

702
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Walton to the right side.

703
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,000
McCullough to the left side.

704
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,000
The pros set.

705
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,000
But just standing in the middle of that line again.

706
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,000
That goes Landry staying in the pocket.

707
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000
He left, he throws to Walton at the 42.

708
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000
He's out of bounds.

709
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,000
On the 37-yard line, first down, McCroy.

710
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
On the barrel, 37.

711
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Lyley Walton making the reception.

712
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
That's great protection for Greg Landry, Bob.

713
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Indeed.

714
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
And of course he came up with that big third down play, too,

715
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
covering 25 yards to keep things moving.

716
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,000
So the Lions now are first and 10 at the barrel, 37.

717
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Nine, 10 to play here in the first half.

718
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:46,000
That's Tiger Stadium, another set-out crowd watching this way.

719
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
Very old-ish cast day.

720
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Very foggy here, as it has been for a couple of days.

721
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
To hide the right is McCullough.

722
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,000
The left side is Walton.

723
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,000
The Lions have a first down on the Chicago 37-yard line.

724
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Walton and Taylor split in the backfield behind Greg Landry.

725
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,000
That goes Landry.

726
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
He throws a little swing back out in the left flat.

727
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,000
I don't know why did he hit that ball?

728
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
I believe he tipped the ball.

729
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,000
He didn't.

730
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Looks like he might have tipped it a little bit.

731
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Anyway, it's thrown a little bit behind Larry Walton.

732
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
He had no chance to get the ball.

733
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
It goes back to the 37-yard line, where it will be second down

734
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,000
and 10 yards to go now for the Detroit Lions from that point.

735
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Lions are trailing by a point, 14 to 13, with nine minutes

736
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
and seven seconds of playing time remaining.

737
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Nice to have you with us.

738
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
I hope you're enjoying the ball game today wherever you are.

739
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
It's the Bears and the Lions at Tiger Stadium, Detroit.

740
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Wide to the right is McCullough.

741
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,000
Split out to the left is Walton.

742
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Greg Landry barking out the six.

743
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Looking over that defense.

744
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
He gives it all to Taylor.

745
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Taylor off left tackle is tipped up and the flag is down.

746
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,000
He got to the 35-yard line where the flag went down.

747
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,000
The Bears will be called for offside on the play, man.

748
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,000
The play used to be a help.

749
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,000
It'll be second down and the five to go.

750
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,000
A little of any yardage gained a couple on the play,

751
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
but the offside against the Bears will make it second down

752
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,000
and five and give the Lions a break in there.

753
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Glad to have with us today some of our fine dealers from the

754
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Marathon Auto Company who are enjoying the ball game up here

755
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000
with us at Tiger Stadium along with 54,000 other fans.

756
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
That's the third penalty against the Bears for 25 yards

757
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,000
and brings up, as we mentioned, the second down.

758
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Five to go for Detroit from the 32.

759
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:29,000
14-13, 9-0-2 to play here in the first half.

760
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Dallas leading New England 17-7 now in the second quarter

761
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:36,000
and San Francisco leading St. Louis 10 to nothing.

762
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,000
High formation, two flankers.

763
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,000
They've led the zone to the left side this time.

764
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Sanders is on the right side.

765
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Greg Landry with the ball.

766
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,000
He gives it to Owens.

767
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Owens to the 30, down to the 27-yard line with it

768
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,000
before he's brought down.

769
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,000
Steve Orr, twisting and turning with Jerry Lyle

770
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,000
and Dick Kutcher holding onto it.

771
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,000
He got very close to a first down for Detroit.

772
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,000
Atlanta 21, New Orleans 6 in the third quarter.

773
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And Denver continues to lead Cleveland 24 to nothing.

774
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
I know a lot of those fans over at the Cleveland Stadium

775
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000
have those radios looking like ball game, Bob,

776
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
and I know they're a little shocked over there right now.

777
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,000
Craig Cotton is coming in, getting too tight in for Detroit.

778
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Little Triple has come in there also as Larry Welton goes out.

779
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000
On this short yardage situation, third down,

780
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
less than a yard to go.

781
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,000
A lot of excitement out here, but the Lions are still

782
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,000
on the short end of the 14-13 score.

783
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Their old man has kicked two field goals, 28, 49 yards.

784
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Look at this formation.

785
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,000
There's the power eye.

786
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,000
All right, and we've seen that.

787
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,000
And here's Landry faking it to Owen,

788
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000
picking it back here to Taylor,

789
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
and he's got a first down on the sweep.

790
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Step around the right side, and Jerry Lyle

791
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,000
ran him out of bounds.

792
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Muckus is helping to officiate down there, Van.

793
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
He's put his finger, his foot down to the back here.

794
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,000
And I think he'll say, no, up here, enough for the first down.

795
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,000
So the Lions keep it going, and Cotton and Triplett

796
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,000
do the job that they went in there to do.

797
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,000
It'll be first and 10 Detroit now at the 27-yard line

798
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,000
of the Bears with 8 minutes short.

799
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,000
That's just a whistle.

800
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Well, off the left side, McCullough to the right side,

801
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
first and 10 from the 27 of the Bears.

802
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
Landry and that power eye a moment ago.

803
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,000
Now he's got him back in the process.

804
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Here's Owen following his locker, Flanagan.

805
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,000
He's down to the 20, 19.

806
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
The phone puts him up.

807
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Flanagan doing a good job of leading the way for him.

808
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,000
The ball is spotted on the 20-yard line.

809
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,000
So a gain of 7 by Steve Owens, and he's picking up some yardage

810
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
and 10 carries, he's gained 54 yards.

811
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
That's a 5.4, doesn't it?

812
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
You've got to think about it.

813
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Even with the new man.

814
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000
What are we going to do when they can't go in the meeting?

815
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Well, they'll find a way.

816
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Second down, coming up at 3 to go.

817
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Eye formation, left the zone to the left with two receivers over there.

818
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Sanders on the right side.

819
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Here's Owen, and he is down to the 16-yard line on brute strength,

820
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,000
making the tackle with Buccus and Charlie Ford.

821
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,000
And it's another first down for Detroit on the 16-yard line,

822
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
and that's 9 first down.

823
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
What a bread and butter runner he is.

824
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
He's got to have that 2 or 3 yards.

825
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
He'll give it to Steve every time.

826
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:35,000
He may get stopped occasionally, but he's good for 2 or 3 most of the time.

827
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
He's developed a couple pretty good moves, man, too,

828
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,000
like he gets back that line of scum as we noticed over the last 2 or 3 ball games.

829
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:45,000
I think probably the most surprising thing about Owens is the fact that he's one of the better blockers

830
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,000
down the lead, he is.

831
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,000
It's beginning to rain at Tiger Stadium.

832
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Double wing formation, he's used all kinds of formations today.

833
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:59,000
He's about to go, looks close to the end of the line, and he's got to.

834
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,000
15-yard touchdown, a post pattern run by Larry Wabbert.

835
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,000
And Landry hit it beautifully.

836
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Landry moves 68 yards in 9 plays and takes the lead now in the tailgame again.

837
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Grassmuth will haul, and Arrowman will attempt to make it 20 to 14.

838
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Slap, placement, pitch, good. Clock is stopped, scored, it's twice night, 20 now, Chicago 14.

839
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:49,000
Arrowman setting it up on the 40 now as the Lions go out in front with 6.25 remaining in the first half, 20 to 14.

840
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:52,000
Owens in 11 carries 58 yards.

841
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Landry 4 out of 7 in the air for 75, and that touchdown to Walton.

842
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Here's the deep along with Turner, and here's the boot.

843
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:06,000
Coming down the slip on the goal line, he's back to the 5, 10, 15, 20.

844
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Right through the middle, Charlie Weaver got him.

845
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Will he be in there?

846
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:16,000
And that is also Jesse and Bell on the tackle for Detroit.

847
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,000
So the ball will be marked on the 29-yard line, a 29-yard return.

848
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,000
It'll be first and 10 to go for the Chicago Bears from their own 29.

849
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Still winning, but not very heavy, but enough to get up the umbrella.

850
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Rain was forecast.

851
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Shy is back in there at fullback for Chicago.

852
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Al Clark playing that cornerback.

853
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,000
Right to the left now is Gordon, to the right is Farmer.

854
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:46,000
High formation Bobby Douglas, breaks him into the pro set.

855
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
And Douglas going back to throw.

856
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,000
He looks downfield, he looks, he throws, and it is caught but out of bounds by Farmer.

857
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
And let's pause briefly for station identification.

858
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
This is the Detroit Lions football network.

859
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,000
Charlie Pittsburgh, 16 to 6 in the third quarter.

860
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:08,000
The penalty backfield in motion against Chicago was declined by Detroit,

861
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:15,000
which makes it second and 10 with the ball on the 29-yard line of Chicago.

862
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,000
Farmer to the right, Gordon to the left.

863
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Bobby Douglas brings him out of it.

864
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Lions lead 20 to 14.

865
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Shy is, Grabowski on the running back.

866
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:31,000
And here is Shy, breaking into the play again, a broken popper,

867
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,000
and he's finally brought down on the 42-yard line and the flag is down.

868
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,000
Walker, Clark, and they're looking there as Clark.

869
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000
They had a personal foul call against the Lions on the end of that one.

870
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,000
That's the second one.

871
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,000
That moves the ball deep, 42-yard line.

872
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:53,000
Personal foul call against Detroit, puts the ball at the 42,

873
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,000
gives the Bears another first down.

874
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,000
You know, you're talking about the rain, man, I'm over it too.

875
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,000
I'll tell you, when it rains in Texas, it really rains.

876
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,000
They wear umbrellas in the Astrodome down.

877
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Ha ha.

878
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Good last week.

879
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
That did last week.

880
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Gordon Wides the left.

881
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Farmer is put out to the right.

882
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,000
First down on the Lions, 42, another costly penalty.

883
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Lions with defensive now jobs to be done,

884
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:26,000
and the Grabowski piled up there on the 39-yard line, trying to run off left guard.

885
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,000
And there's Jerry Rush and Dick Eadie.

886
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000
He's playing against his old teammates.

887
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Wayne Walker also on the tackle.

888
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Change of tight end again is Thomas McGrady with Wallace.

889
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
They may be calling some plays for Bobby Douglas.

890
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Jim Dooley, the coach, has been rooming with Douglas all week in Chicago.

891
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Saying that Douglas's apartment, he said he was a bad cook.

892
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,000
The lousy cook, he said.

893
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,000
He said, yeah, I do all the dishes.

894
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Two flankers now.

895
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Gordon to the left, Farmer to the right.

896
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000
Five minutes to play in the half.

897
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Douglas with a long cadence count, gives it to Schia, and the whole pair again,

898
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,000
right through the middle.

899
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,000
He's at the 35 and down to the 34.

900
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,000
Oh, he's going to find out the running for all what he picked up today now.

901
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
He's doing a good job.

902
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Now Wallace is back in at the tight end, the ball's on the 34.

903
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,000
He carries 66 yards.

904
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,000
I tell you something, I think he's getting some help on the right side of his offensive line, too.

905
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,000
They are blocking very well.

906
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:29,000
On the three of his runs to the right side, they've used the trap play and very effectively.

907
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Well, the rain is about to stop.

908
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Now the sun's trying to break through all this overcast here.

909
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Ogden has replaced Farmer.

910
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Now here's almost a double wing, and they give it to Schia.

911
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,000
Schia again, breaks the tackle.

912
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,000
He's down to the 30.

913
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:48,000
I want to tell you something, the Lions are not tackling the way they've been tackling.

914
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,000
And they're bouncing well from today, and that's a first down for Chicago on the 30,

915
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,000
and the Bears are coming right back again.

916
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,000
I tell you, there's nothing shy about Schia.

917
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
He just puts his head down and rams in there.

918
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:05,000
He got into only eight games for the Bears last year, but he had 227 yards rushing and caught 10 passes.

919
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:10,000
He was Pittsburgh's second draft choice in 67 and was with the Steelers a couple of years

920
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
before they traded him to New Orleans in 1969.

921
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,000
This is San Diego.

922
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Douglas on the call from the pro set.

923
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,000
On the 30, back goes Douglas.

924
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:24,000
He lifts, he throws, and it's caught at the 15-yard line.

925
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Dick LeBoe makes the tackle on Gordon, but he's picked it off, the leading receiver in the conference.

926
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,000
First down on the 15-yard line.

927
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:36,000
I want to tell you, young Douglas is doing a good job for the Chicago Bears.

928
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,000
He's moving his ball club well.

929
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,000
Lions are leading 20 to 14 over Chicago.

930
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Pender comes in and Schia goes out.

931
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:49,000
That's a change in the backfield for Chicago.

932
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,000
15-yard line, first down and 10 to go for Chicago.

933
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:58,000
They started this drive on their own, 29, and they have moved it down to 15.

934
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,000
That is a guy who has played as little as Douglas.

935
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
He's seven out of nine for 92.

936
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,000
He's doing a great job for the Bears.

937
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
Douglas with the pro set again is going back to throw once more.

938
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Stays in that pocket.

939
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,000
He has to run out of it.

940
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,000
He lifts, he throws.

941
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000
It's caught for a touchdown by Wallace.

942
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
The tight end.

943
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,000
We had all night to throw it too, I'll tell you.

944
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:25,000
And you cannot give the quarterback that much opportunity and that much of a time element

945
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:29,000
to take out of his receivers because somebody is going to break the pattern and get loose,

946
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,000
and that's exactly what happened on that touchdown pass.

947
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:40,000
And the Bears now have come back, moving 71 yards in sixth place to take the lead again.

948
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,000
At the moment, it's Hyatt and Mack Percival.

949
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,000
Plus he falls down and breaks both legs.

950
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,000
We'll probably put the Bears in front right here, 21 to 20.

951
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Pick it up and good.

952
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
All the Chicago Bears have taken the lead again.

953
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,000
They are leading Detroit by a score of 21 to 20.

954
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Hyatt out-checked the other scorers.

955
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,000
Dallas leads New England 17 to 7 in the second quarter.

956
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:10,000
The Dodgers 13, New York 7 in the second quarter.

957
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Trans-Portisco leads St. Louis 10 to nothing in the second quarter.

958
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Houston 16, Pittsburgh 6.

959
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Miami leading New York 13 to 7.

960
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000
And Denver leading Cleveland 27 and up.

961
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,000
The tight end Wallace caught the touchdown pass.

962
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,000
And he has three Lions around him, too.

963
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,000
I don't know how he got that one, but I'll say this,

964
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Douglas hit him perfectly.

965
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,000
So now the Chicago Bears will pick off to Detroit,

966
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,000
and Ron Jeffery will have a chance to do his thing again.

967
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,000
Al Crotch is going back with Ron Jeffery.

968
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
That first of all, who just floated the extra point

969
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,000
to give the Bears the lead, 21 to 20, will kick off.

970
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,000
And Douglas, with that completion for the touchdown,

971
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:54,000
is now 8 out of 10 for 107 yards.

972
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,000
I'll tell you what, if he keeps going like that,

973
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,000
he's going to be a great hitter.

974
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,000
He's going to be a great hitter.

975
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,000
He's going to be a great hitter.

976
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,000
He's going to be a great hitter.

977
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,000
His game is to 7 yards.

978
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,200
I'll tell you what, if he keeps going like this,

979
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,000
then the Chicago fans will go to duly.

980
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Where has he been all the rest of his team?

981
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,000
He's left-handed.

982
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Here's the kick.

983
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,000
High floating kick.

984
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Jeffery in the end zone by 2 yards.

985
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,000
One, ten, fifteen,

986
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,000
and he's going to be dropped this time on the 17 yard line.

987
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Barely holding out, finally,

988
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,000
making the tackle in there with그렇.

989
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:37,400
Detroit and not particularly great field position as they have the ball on their own 17 yard

990
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:42,320
line with a first and 10 to go from that point.

991
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,160
Denver 27 Cleveland nothing.

992
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:54,600
Bynum back in the huddle now they'd like to get back to the least in field goal position

993
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,200
here with only 220 to play in the first half.

994
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:02,440
Walton to the right side McCullough to the right side Sanders is put out on the left

995
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,880
side a double ring all into the slot and it's Taylor with the football following his rockers

996
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:12,480
at the 20 up to the 25 yard line with it and all down there on the 25 by Ed O'Tredovich

997
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:13,480
number 87.

998
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:22,320
And here's the two minute warning coming up exactly two minutes to play in the first

999
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:23,320
half.

1000
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:29,360
Andrew going over to the side of the ice coach Joe Schmidt to figure out what the two minute

1001
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,760
build strategy will be here training as they are by one point with two minutes left to

1002
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:34,760
play.

1003
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,880
That last play was how do you get a carrying the ball you see that so many times Taylor

1004
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:44,600
is that those very quick feet he had Walton out in front of him he goes to the other side

1005
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,800
he has Gallagher out in front of him and so many times you'll see him up there with his

1006
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,920
hand on the blocker just to get going just a little bit move one way or the other so

1007
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,240
I can get a little running road that time.

1008
00:53:55,240 --> 00:54:00,960
Walton made the wrong move went out to the outside and Taylor tried to go outside too

1009
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,720
and the tackle was made after the pick up of about eight yards on it.

1010
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:09,600
So we've got a difficult Bear Lion game here with two minutes to play in the first half

1011
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:15,800
twenty one to twenty with the Bears out in front and Bobby Douglas their Cinderella quarterback

1012
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,920
that's all you can call him here today because he was pressed into service strictly out of

1013
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,720
necessity doing a great job.

1014
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:28,640
First and 10 from the second down brother and about two or three from the twenty seven

1015
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,560
humble but Landry covers it.

1016
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:34,680
Aldi Taylor fumbled the ball but Greg Landry fell on the ball Willie Holman disengaged

1017
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:35,680
him from the ball.

1018
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:42,680
They lose the score to 10 to 7 San Francisco now in the second quarter.

1019
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:47,880
The ball is on the twenty one yard line series originated on the 17th so it'll be third down

1020
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,040
in the long six so far in this ball game.

1021
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,640
Herman Weaver hasn't had the punch for the Lions.

1022
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,440
They've been able to pick up these third down situations and they've got a big one here.

1023
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,440
Lions are the highest scoring team of the league.

1024
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,040
They had 150 points going into this one so they've got 170 points so far but they're

1025
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:08,040
failing.

1026
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:19,040
21 to 20 Landry back to throw he's going to be done and over out of it.

1027
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,800
They've got the laundry and stocking back on the 12 yard line and now Weaver will get

1028
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,040
his opportunity about first chance to punt right here.

1029
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:31,520
I wanted to see the boys exciting once he either gets a nine yards or 99 right here

1030
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,800
the Lions would like to see him really booted.

1031
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:38,200
There's a timeout with 113 remain.

1032
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:45,800
Philadelphia still leading with Giants and the fourth period now 16 to 7.

1033
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:51,120
They lose maybe a little closer there that game with the 49ers and seven in the second

1034
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,120
period.

1035
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:57,600
We mentioned earlier the Lions next game is a week from tomorrow night at Milwaukee

1036
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:09,600
where they'll take on the Green Bay Packers and the extravaganza of each Monday night.

1037
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:14,400
Weaver walking back into the end zone now getting set for the snap of that planet going

1038
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:15,400
to him.

1039
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:28,400
Weaver needs to get a foot in the ditch.

1040
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:47,400
Weaver gets his kick away and he really pulled it out of the way all the way down to the

1041
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:48,400
36 yard line.

1042
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:49,400
He's dropped down on the 48 yard line.

1043
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,400
Back over to the 46 yard six on the part of Herman Weaver when he needed it.

1044
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:51,400
So the ball is on the 48 yard line of Chicago first and 10 for the Bears with a minute two

1045
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,400
seconds of playing time remaining in the first half.

1046
00:56:54,400 --> 00:57:01,400
The Bears now would like to move down to where they can try to three leading at 21 to 20.

1047
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,400
Jordan and Farmer the blankers.

1048
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,400
Gordon on the left side.

1049
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,400
Bobby Douglas going back to throw.

1050
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,400
Let's go to swing fast to Gwipowski.

1051
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,400
He's at the 50th flag.

1052
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,400
He's down to the 41 yard line.

1053
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,400
40 yard line.

1054
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,400
And in there is Ed Mooney now making the tackle for Detroit.

1055
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:24,400
But the looks like the family is going to be against the Bears.

1056
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,400
Ed Mooney is in there in place of Wayne Walker.

1057
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:27,400
No he's not.

1058
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,400
Walker is in there.

1059
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:29,400
He's out of there.

1060
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:35,400
Well they have an extra line back there in the back.

1061
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,400
We saw three linebackers.

1062
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,400
Newmauk, Rukey and Walker and then Mooney is another linebacker.

1063
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,400
Four penalties, 40 yards.

1064
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,400
So we got four linebackers in there.

1065
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:54,400
Rock shows 42 seconds.

1066
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,400
15 yard penalty against the Chicago Bears pushing on the play.

1067
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,400
Back first down 25 from the 34.

1068
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,400
Douglas now with two blankers.

1069
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:04,400
Back to throw again.

1070
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,400
Stays in the pocket.

1071
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,400
Throw to swing fast to Gwipowski.

1072
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:15,400
And he is walked down by Al Clark and Paul Newmauk on the 30 yard line.

1073
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:35,400
No game on the play.

1074
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:36,400
Two or three to roll.

1075
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,400
We came up with three point victories.

1076
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,400
I asked the owner of the Lions, Bill Ford, just before the Houston game,

1077
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,400
I said once, you know just once, can we win one by a touchdown?

1078
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:52,400
He said, what do you want, a route?

1079
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,400
Paul on the 34 yard line.

1080
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:58,400
It is second down and 25 yards to go.

1081
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,400
That's 23 really.

1082
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:02,400
The Bears break out of it.

1083
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:09,400
They send Farmer to the left, Gordon to the right.

1084
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,400
Bobby Douglas, two flip backs and back he goes to throw.

1085
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,400
He gets all day to throw and he throws it out of bounds.

1086
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,400
Gordon fell down.

1087
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,400
That stops the clock.

1088
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:26,400
That offensive line really doing a job with the Bears.

1089
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:27,400
Giving Douglas plenty of time.

1090
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,400
And that happens when you've got a situation like the Bears have here with a quarterback

1091
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,400
pressed into service with their regulars, Ken and the Knicks out of the lineup.

1092
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,400
Sometimes the lineman will say, well we've got to do just a little bit more.

1093
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,400
We've got to put out just a little bit more to protect the kid.

1094
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,400
And they certainly have done it here today.

1095
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,400
He's had plenty of time to throw.

1096
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,400
He walks up that line of scrimmage with all the boys in the world.

1097
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,400
Two flankers in the high formation, third down, 23.

1098
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:55,400
Douglas calling.

1099
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,400
Douglas on the draw now gives it to Drabowski.

1100
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,400
He runs right in the bell.

1101
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,400
The flag is down.

1102
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,400
On the 35 yard line, Bell made the tackle.

1103
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,400
He's in there to tackle Scott along with Wayne Walker on Drabowski.

1104
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:13,400
But the flag is down.

1105
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:19,400
LeBow and Gordon having some words down there.

1106
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:26,400
Dick, the former Michigan State star, the flag was thrown down when Gordon evidently pushed LeBow.

1107
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,400
And the flag went down and the bow had some words with him about it.

1108
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,400
And they walked back toward the football together.

1109
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,400
And at the last moment, Gordon gave him a shove.

1110
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,400
But the penalty was not for that.

1111
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,400
It had been called before that for offensive pushing.

1112
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:47,400
And that moved the ball back inside the 20 of the Bears now, down around the 18 yard line.

1113
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:52,400
What the official was doing was telling LeBow, now just keep your mouth, you know,

1114
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,400
I'll be yakking it up out there.

1115
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,400
65 yards and six penalties.

1116
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,400
The end of that chain is all the way down to the 42 yard line.

1117
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,400
They're back on the 18.

1118
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:03,400
So that's third down.

1119
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:05,400
Let's call it long yard.

1120
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:06,400
Very long.

1121
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:09,400
All right.

1122
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:10,400
At 37, 38.

1123
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,400
Waiting for it now is Douglas.

1124
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,400
He gives it off to Shy.

1125
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,400
Shy right through the middle.

1126
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:18,400
Brings it up to the 28 yard line.

1127
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,400
They stop the clock with 18 seconds to go.

1128
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:28,400
It's fourth down coming up so the Lions will get an opportunity to get the football again.

1129
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:32,400
Dallas leading New England 27 to 7.

1130
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,400
New York 16 to 7.

1131
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,400
Giants failing the Eagles.

1132
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:44,400
The ball is on the 28 yard line and Chuck Hughes and Larry Walton are going back now

1133
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:52,400
in the double safety spot for Detroit with 18 seconds of playing time remaining in the first half of Tiger Stadium.

1134
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:58,400
Leeds from tomorrow night will be in Milwaukee County Stadium to face the Green Bay Packers.

1135
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:02,400
Houston leading Pittsburgh 16 to 9 in the third quarter.

1136
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:09,400
Bobby Joe Green back in front.

1137
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,400
Here's the kick.

1138
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,400
High spiral on back court is Larry Walton.

1139
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:18,400
He's got it on the 22 of their catch.

1140
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:19,400
Did they throw a flag?

1141
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:20,400
Yeah they did.

1142
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,400
Bell ran into him bad down there.

1143
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:22,400
He just couldn't stop his momentum.

1144
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:27,400
That's about the third time that the youngster has been caught with that kind of a play.

1145
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:33,400
He's very quick and he just cannot seem to stop when he puts the pressure on the kicker.

1146
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,400
And he definitely ran into women knocked him down.

1147
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:41,400
And so the penalty will be stepped off there against Detroit.

1148
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:49,400
Now in college football, a roughing the kicker penalty does not mean an automatic first down.

1149
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,400
But in professional football it does.

1150
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:58,400
And so it will be the first down for the Bears at the 34 yard line.

1151
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:05,400
And with 11 seconds left, it gives Douglas an opportunity of course to go for the ball.

1152
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,400
At the 34 yard line, first and 10.

1153
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,400
That's 10 first downs for the Bears today.

1154
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,400
Bobby Douglas calling the signals and Douglas is going to keep it open play.

1155
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:16,400
He's knocked on the 34 yard line.

1156
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:17,400
Time will run out.

1157
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:20,400
That'll be lucky to get a timeout call and they do.

1158
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,400
Five seconds of playing time remaining.

1159
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:29,400
Douglas on a broken play just fell on the ball.

1160
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,400
So the Bears will have another shot with the ball on the 34 yard line.

1161
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,400
It'll be second down and 10 to go.

1162
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,400
Mike Rucci calling the defensive signals.

1163
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,400
Mike was fined $300 by the commissioner.

1164
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,400
Where is the rhubarb out here against the Packers?

1165
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:51,400
$50 is the standard fine and the other $250 for each word that he used.

1166
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,400
Even a dollar a word.

1167
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,400
They were pretty tough words that one day.

1168
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:04,400
Second and 10 to go now for the Bears who are leading by one, 21 to 20.

1169
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,400
Jordan to the left side and farmers deployed to the right side.

1170
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,400
This may be the last play of this half.

1171
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,400
Bob Bell in there defensively at that tackle spot.

1172
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:19,400
And it is Gribowski and he is dropped on the 41 and time runs out.

1173
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:20,400
There's the gun.

1174
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,400
That's the end of the first half of the score.

1175
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,400
Chicago 21 to 20.

1176
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:32,400
You'll see Bob Clark along with Ron Jesse dropping back in the deep spots to get the final two periods of play underway.

1177
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,400
And this sellout crowd of 54,000 plus settling back in their seats.

1178
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,400
They watch another half of action.

1179
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:41,400
And they are ready to bring it to you.

1180
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:42,400
Man Patrick.

1181
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:47,400
All right Bob Reynolds and first of all, Booth Fallen and Booth sit high and over in deep into the end zone.

1182
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,400
It's taken him to goal post.

1183
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,400
So he'll be brought back out to 21st down and 10 to go.

1184
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,400
Philadelphia leads New York 23 to 7.

1185
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:59,400
Dallas rolling over to England 34 to 7.

1186
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,400
They're in the second quarter in that one.

1187
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,400
And Atlanta is leading New Orleans 28 to 6.

1188
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,400
Denver ahead of Cleveland 27 to nothing.

1189
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:14,400
It's Houston 16, Pittsburgh 9 and Miami leading New Jersey or New York Jets rather 27 to 14.

1190
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:17,400
Nothing on the Kansas City Washington game.

1191
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,400
That's one of the standout ballgames.

1192
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,400
First and 10 Detroit from their own 20.

1193
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:22,400
Waltham to the right side.

1194
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,400
McCullers also on the spot on the right side.

1195
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,400
The eye formation with Owens and Taylor right back at Greg Landry.

1196
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,400
And here's the game to Taylor.

1197
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:34,400
Following Owens gets a block, turns the corner to 25, comes up to the 29.

1198
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,400
Getting nine yards.

1199
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,400
And Dick Pupchis made the tackle for Chicago.

1200
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,400
McCullers is also on the block on that play.

1201
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,400
And so the ball will be marked on the 29.

1202
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:55,400
It will be a second down and one to go for the Detroit Lions.

1203
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:59,400
Landry with four out of seven for 75 yards in the first half.

1204
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,400
Taylor in six carries at 17.

1205
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,400
Owens in 11 carries at 57.

1206
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:05,400
Landry in one has five.

1207
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,400
Landry ready now with the two flankers again.

1208
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:12,400
McCullers to the right side.

1209
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,400
Bucke is starting a little with Owens on the top.

1210
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,400
And Owens to the 33 and the tackle is made by Willie Holman.

1211
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,400
It will be a first down for Detroit on the 33 yard line.

1212
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:24,400
Still in Detroit territory.

1213
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:33,400
11th first down for Detroit in this ballgame today.

1214
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,400
First and 10.

1215
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,400
Wide to the right now is Walton.

1216
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,400
McCullers put out to the left.

1217
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,400
Waiting for it is Red Landry, first and 10 from the Lions.

1218
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:49,400
33.

1219
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:51,400
Taylor's in motion to the left.

1220
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,400
Landry is back to throw, stays in the pocket and throws.

1221
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,400
It's completed McCullers to 50.

1222
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,400
McCullers to the 45 and is out of bounds on the 44 yard line.

1223
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:06,400
First down for the Bullockers, the man who knocked him out of bounds.

1224
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:10,400
Jeter was also in on the tackle, the ball on the 44 yard line of Chicago.

1225
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,400
Detroit's ball first and 10.

1226
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,400
McCullers is not too very big.

1227
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,400
Instead of taking the easy way out over there along the sidelines and

1228
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,400
running out of bounds, put his head down into those two defenders there

1229
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,400
and picked up an extra yard as a result of the effort.

1230
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,400
24 yards on the play.

1231
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:29,400
Walton to the right, McCullers to the left.

1232
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,400
First and 10 from the Bear, 44 yard line.

1233
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,400
Detroit trailing 21 to 20.

1234
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,400
Landry back to throw again.

1235
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,400
Stays in the pocket and throws one deep, deep and it is complete.

1236
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:45,400
Into the end zone and I'm not so sure he didn't just throw that one away Bob.

1237
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:48,400
If Walton was held up down there around the 25 yard line he would have been

1238
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:53,400
the intended receiver until Landry just threw it away.

1239
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,400
1243 to go in the third quarter.

1240
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:00,400
The Lions are trailing 21 to 20.

1241
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,400
Green Bay is at Los Angeles today.

1242
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:09,400
Final score, Philadelphia beat New York.

1243
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:12,400
This is the last home appearance of the Lions for a couple of games.

1244
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:16,400
As I mentioned we've played the Green Bay Packers a week from Monday and then

1245
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:21,400
it's on to Denver for a game with the Broncos for coming home to play the Rams.

1246
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,400
Walton to McCullers both on the right side, a double ring,

1247
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,400
split to the left of Sanders and back goes Landry again.

1248
01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,400
He's dumped one out here in the right flat, it's completed.

1249
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,400
We're 40, no 4.

1250
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,400
Miller cuts back to the 36 yard line with it.

1251
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,400
He's not very close down there to picking up that first down.

1252
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:41,400
Butchers and Charlie Ford made the tackle for Chicago.

1253
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:42,400
Let's see where they mark it.

1254
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,400
It'll be around the 35 yard line and that's where it is

1255
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,400
and it'll be third down of the yard to go for Detroit.

1256
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,400
I think that's the first time that Butchers has got a hand on how he's

1257
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,400
played here today.

1258
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:58,400
They had a little by play if you recall a few fans last year in Chicago

1259
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:03,400
when Butchers not only ran him out of bounds but practically up in his stand.

1260
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,400
Greg Cotniss in there, two tight ends.

1261
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,400
Flanagan at center, Gallagher and Walton to the guard.

1262
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,400
Jarrow and Coyote at the tackle.

1263
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,400
Walton is the only flank that's set out just a few yards outside.

1264
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,400
Craig Cotniss on the right side.

1265
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:19,400
Greg Landry, third and one and he's back to throw on third and one.

1266
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:23,400
He throws it out here to hold it, 30 out of bounds.

1267
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,400
On the 26, 24 yard line,

1268
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,400
Goldbacher knocking out of bounds on the 24.

1269
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:30,400
He toss them up with a third to one.

1270
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:32,400
Good call.

1271
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:40,400
Good fake and then go back and step or two and hit Taylor over there beautifully.

1272
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:44,400
First down on the Bear, 24 yard line.

1273
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:49,400
First key, first down for Detroit.

1274
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,400
That's just calling those defensive signals.

1275
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,400
Boy, they have really been stunning at moving around on defense and changing

1276
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,400
it up from a zone to man and man and they've really been moving around.

1277
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,400
The Bears.

1278
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:02,400
Walton wide to the right.

1279
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:03,400
The colors on the left side.

1280
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:04,400
Landry to Owens.

1281
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:05,400
Owens to the 20.

1282
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,400
Owens to the 15 yard line with it.

1283
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,400
Stevens just whipping through that left tackle spot and on down to the 15.

1284
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:17,400
Butkus made the tackle along with Jeter.

1285
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,400
Butkus is a lovely player.

1286
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:20,400
I've been watching him.

1287
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,400
Flanagan's doing a good job on him.

1288
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,400
They're doing well.

1289
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:26,400
Second and one.

1290
01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,400
Steve Owens is having himself another great day.

1291
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:36,400
He's scored the ball 13 times and gained 69 yards.

1292
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,400
That has 100 yards rushing today.

1293
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,400
High formation, two-pointed.

1294
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,400
Owens.

1295
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,400
12 and a flag.

1296
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,400
Limitary indication will be holding.

1297
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:52,400
Oh my, that's right.

1298
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,400
15 yards.

1299
01:10:55,400 --> 01:11:02,400
In the very first quarter, in the opening moments of the ball game, the Lions have driven down there deep.

1300
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:08,400
Have the ball inside the five and a holding penalty set them back and the Lions have to settle with that 28 yard field goal.

1301
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,400
And here's another fine drive.

1302
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:18,400
There's six penalty for 56 yards that has put a crimp in this one, moving the ball to 29.

1303
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,400
So the down will remain second.

1304
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:25,400
But it will be now 15 for the first down.

1305
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:29,400
And that just drives the coaches berserk.

1306
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,400
Second down with about 14 yards to go for Detroit.

1307
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,400
Wide to the left side is McCullough.

1308
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:36,400
The right side is Walton.

1309
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:41,400
So Greg needs to hit one now to pick up that yardage he just lost.

1310
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:42,400
That's a post-up.

1311
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:47,400
He's going back to throw, staying in the pocket, looks downfield, and his arm was hit as he threw it.

1312
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,400
That knocked his aim right off.

1313
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,400
Sanders was the intended receiver.

1314
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,400
And in there was George Seals, the big tackle.

1315
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,400
And his aim was off.

1316
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,400
So that makes it third down.

1317
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,400
Chicago leading 21 to 20.

1318
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:06,400
We've got 10 minutes and 54 seconds of playing time remaining in the third quarter at Tiger Stadium.

1319
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,400
Hodgson is coming in.

1320
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:15,400
No question also, Van, is when the Bears go on the offense, that the Lions have got to start putting some pressure on Douglas.

1321
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,400
They have not done so here in the ball game so far.

1322
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:22,400
He's had all kinds of time to throw, and you simply got to get to that quarterback.

1323
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:27,400
You either force him out of the pocket, force him to throw quicker than he wants to, or you're in trouble.

1324
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,400
Landry is four out of seven on third down situations.

1325
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,400
He's got one right now with Taylor in motion to the right.

1326
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,400
And he's going back to throw, rolls out to the left.

1327
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:43,400
He looks, he's going around, he's down to 25, he's down to 21, 22, and he's all down there by Willie Holman.

1328
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:49,400
On the 22-yard line, Landry is seven out of 12 and passing for 117 yards, and in comes Errol Mann.

1329
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:58,400
The receiver is pretty well covered, so Greg did about all he could do, and that's good with it.

1330
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,400
He moved the ball well down to the 21-yard line, which will make it fourth down and seventh.

1331
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:07,400
And Rasmussen is kneeling on the 29-yard line, and so it will be a 29-10.

1332
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,400
28-49, and now 29-10.

1333
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:14,400
Mann has kicked through today, 28 yards and 49 yards.

1334
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:18,400
He's kicking against the wind here.

1335
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:21,400
Kick is up.

1336
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,400
Yeah!

1337
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:28,400
29-yard field goal, the Lions lead by a score of 23-21.

1338
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:32,400
The clock stopped on the field, Detroit 23, Chicago 21.

1339
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:41,400
Whenever we're up and turning deep for Chicago, Scott Patrick along with Bob Reynolds and Tiger Stadium, the Lions lead 23-21.

1340
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:45,400
The move by Mann, good high and overhand kick, Turner on the one.

1341
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:50,400
Back to the five, 10, 15, down down.

1342
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,400
And word on the play with Nicky Zasco.

1343
01:13:53,400 --> 01:14:03,400
Nicky gets up there a little groggy, but he made the tackle.

1344
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:13,400
Mann has just tied Jim Martin's career field goal for the Lions, 56 field goals.

1345
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:21,400
Now we'll see whether that Lions front defensive unit can put some pressure on W, because they must do so.

1346
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,400
We'll get to start getting to it.

1347
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:29,400
Rush and Bell and Rob are in the air for Detroit.

1348
01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:35,400
Luchy right in the middle, and the good now is through the running back, Rob Oskine, who's down from the 17.

1349
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:42,400
All of the noise you're hearing at Tiger Stadium, the fans are cheering the defensive unit on right now.

1350
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:55,400
Thomas is in, Wallace is out, second down and nine, ball on the 17-yard line.

1351
01:14:55,400 --> 01:15:06,400
Bobby Bell is in there, defensively at that tackle, Joe Rob is in there, Larry Hans, Larry Rush.

1352
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:16,400
Joe's set. There's Douglas on the pitch out now to shy, and shy as he reaches the 22-yard line by Paul Newball.

1353
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:23,400
And Al Park over there for the Lions on the 20-yard line.

1354
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:29,400
They'll mark it 840 to go here in the third quarter. The Lions are leading 23 to 21.

1355
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:40,400
Final score, Philadelphia 23, New York 7, and the Eagles have won their first game of the season.

1356
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:44,400
Ball on the 23-yard line of Chicago, and it's third down and about three to go.

1357
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:48,400
The crowd still yelling for the defensive unit to go to work.

1358
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:50,400
Wide to the left is Gordon.

1359
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:56,400
Farmer's flip to the right side, and Bobby Douglas calling the signal.

1360
01:15:56,400 --> 01:16:00,400
Long-chain's comp gives it off the side. He's comped with the 24.

1361
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:02,400
He didn't make the first down.

1362
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:06,400
So the defensive unit is heightened up here in the third quarter.

1363
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:11,400
San Francisco is leading St. Louis 13 to 7.

1364
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,400
They're all bringing up a fourth down.

1365
01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:16,400
Mike Lucci is getting up a little wobbly right now, I want to tell you.

1366
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:20,400
He's playing with injuries. Paul Newball is helping him off.

1367
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,400
Mike was shaken up over there.

1368
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:28,400
Mike Lucci going over the bench there with Dr. Geis and Dr. Thompson.

1369
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:34,400
And dropping back now, Larry Walton along with Chuck Hughes and Bobby Joe Green is going to do the kicking for Chicago.

1370
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,400
The ball's on the 25 and a fourth down and two.

1371
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:41,400
Seven-25 to play. Lions lead by two.

1372
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:47,400
And here's the kick by Green, a high spiral, and it's going to bounce here on about the 45,

1373
01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:52,400
and the Bears will let it go, and it bounce all the way upfield in the 43-yard line.

1374
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:55,400
So the Lions will have great field position.

1375
01:16:55,400 --> 01:17:00,400
That was a kick of 34 yards on the part of Bobby Joe Green.

1376
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,400
We're watching Lucci over there.

1377
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,400
Lions could ill afford to lose that boy.

1378
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,400
He's walking around. He should be all right.

1379
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,400
At least he's ambledore right now.

1380
01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:18,400
There's a timeout on the field with a score.

1381
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,400
Detroit 23, Chicago 21.

1382
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,400
Three passes to Taylor in the late flat.

1383
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,400
The phone makes the tackle.

1384
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:30,400
They'll mark the ball on the 46-yard line.

1385
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,400
Five yards gained on the play.

1386
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,400
Second down and five to go.

1387
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:41,400
They're working on Mike Lucci's ankle.

1388
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,400
So they're going to have a second and five for Detroit from their own 46-yard line.

1389
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,400
Good field position.

1390
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,400
Larry Walton stood out to the left side.

1391
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:50,400
Plank the right is Earl McCullough.

1392
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:52,400
Taylor has carried four times for 38 yards.

1393
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,400
Caught four of it for 38 yards.

1394
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:56,400
Waiting for it now is Greg Landry.

1395
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:58,400
And motion goes Taylor.

1396
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:03,400
And the oh, that time, Olfons ran over the quarterback, Greg Landry,

1397
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,400
and shook him up a little.

1398
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:09,400
That's the hardest Landry's been hit all day.

1399
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:13,400
Out of the hand, Steve just ran right over.

1400
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,400
Now here's that key third down situation again.

1401
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:19,400
Landry was four out of seven of them in the first half in picking them up.

1402
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,400
And he'll have another opportunity here.

1403
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:23,400
It'll be a big one on the 45-yard line.

1404
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,400
Six minutes of playing time remaining in the third quarter.

1405
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,400
The Lions lead it 23-21.

1406
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:33,400
Well, Pittsburgh has gone ahead of Houston 23-16.

1407
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,400
Walton to the right, McCullough to the left.

1408
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,400
Landry will probably put it in the air here with his third and five.

1409
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,400
And back he goes to throw.

1410
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:42,400
He looks he's in trouble back there.

1411
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,400
He's going to be brought down back on the 40-yard line.

1412
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:46,400
He just couldn't get rid of it.

1413
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,400
The Bears had the fast rush on.

1414
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:53,400
And he was brought down by Ed O'Gradovich.

1415
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,400
And so that'll bring Herman Weaver in for his second pick of the day.

1416
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:00,400
And Ron Smith is going back along the turner for Chicago.

1417
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,400
That's been the difference in the ballgame defensively between both clubs.

1418
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:06,400
The Lions have had the rush on them all day.

1419
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,400
They've been able to contain the Chicago Bear running attack fairly well.

1420
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:13,400
But they have not been able to put any pressure whatsoever on Douglas.

1421
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:18,400
On the other side of the coin, that Bear front four has done a good job.

1422
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:21,400
Thompson is in there at center for the Detroit Lions.

1423
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:27,400
Herman Weaver back in pick formation.

1424
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,400
Perfect pass from center.

1425
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,400
Weaver gets it away.

1426
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:32,400
Booms it high.

1427
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,400
Coming down to Ron Smith.

1428
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,400
And Smith takes it at the 15 going wide.

1429
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:38,400
Being chased by Jesse.

1430
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,400
And he's thrown down by Jesse.

1431
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,400
Whoo, what a throw down.

1432
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:46,400
Ron Jesse just gave him a swing.

1433
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:53,400
The ball will be down on the 15 or 16, a 45-yard kick on the 16-yard line.

1434
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,400
That at that time hadn't have been there.

1435
01:19:55,400 --> 01:20:02,400
That Bear receiver would have been down there by the go-go super-franc tonight.

1436
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,400
Hirston from Chicago from the 16-yard line.

1437
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:10,400
And the crowd starts to yell for the defensive unit again.

1438
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,400
Bears have no trouble hearing the statement.

1439
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:16,400
Jordan wide to the left, Farmer to the right, and the throw set.

1440
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:18,400
Robowski is back there with Don Shy.

1441
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,400
And Douglas back to throw.

1442
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,400
What a throw that he has caught.

1443
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:25,400
On the 20-yard line, the tackle is made on George Farmer.

1444
01:20:25,400 --> 01:20:28,400
Tackle made by Al Clark.

1445
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,400
On the 20, so he got four on the play.

1446
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:33,400
It'll be second down in six-five minutes to play in the third quarter.

1447
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:40,400
Detroit leading 23 to 21.

1448
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:45,400
Miami leading the Jets now 30 to 14.

1449
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,400
No report on Washington and Kansas City yet.

1450
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,400
Buffalo lost to San Diego.

1451
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,400
Farmer's caught five passes today for 83 yards.

1452
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:56,400
Throw set again.

1453
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,400
New ball moving out, spinning a little bit.

1454
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,400
Waiting for it is Douglas, second down.

1455
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,400
And he gives it off to Shy.

1456
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:04,400
And Shy running up the middle.

1457
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:09,400
Backed up on about the 23-yard line, but the middle of that line.

1458
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:12,400
Paul Newboff and Wayne Walker on the tackle.

1459
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,400
Larry Hand.

1460
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,400
Now Wallace is coming back in at the tight end.

1461
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:20,400
Thomas goes out.

1462
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:21,400
Change for the Bears.

1463
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:28,400
Reports end the goal in the third quarter.

1464
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:30,400
Shy and 15 carries.

1465
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:32,400
They've gained 91 yards.

1466
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,400
He's got a good day.

1467
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:37,400
Farmer to the left side.

1468
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,400
Jordan to the right side.

1469
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:40,400
Shy and Grabowski.

1470
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,400
They haven't utilized Grabowski very much today other than the blocker.

1471
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,400
Douglas going back.

1472
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,400
And he's rolling out to the left.

1473
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:49,400
He's going to run with a football.

1474
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,400
He's got a first down at the 31.

1475
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:56,400
Wayne Walker made the tackle long with Mike Lucey who's back in there.

1476
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,400
Got a first down.

1477
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:03,400
And once again that Lyon defense commuted not getting to Douglas.

1478
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:08,400
And he picks up the first down through the 31.

1479
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,400
That's number 12 in the way of first down for the Bears.

1480
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,400
320 to go in the third quarter.

1481
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:18,400
Now Jerry Rush and Bob Bell are the tackle for the short.

1482
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:24,400
Larry Hand and Joe Robb are the defensive ends.

1483
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,400
Bobby Douglas now with two bankers against.

1484
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:29,400
Go set.

1485
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:30,400
He waits.

1486
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:31,400
He takes it.

1487
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,400
Back to those who swing fast out of the right side.

1488
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:40,400
It's too important but the tackle is made immediately by LeBau on the 36 to 5 yard game.

1489
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:44,400
So it's second and five.

1490
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:48,400
Windsor still leading Cleveland 27 and nothing.

1491
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:53,400
Jim Dooley with his tight end standing in the play as to the young quarterback.

1492
01:22:53,400 --> 01:23:01,400
Douglas almost after every series of downs.

1493
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:06,400
Bears come out of it with a second down and five situation from their own 36 yard line.

1494
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:07,400
Gordon is split to the right.

1495
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,400
And he is the only banker.

1496
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:11,400
Two ends are in play.

1497
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:17,400
Eye formation top of the eye shy and tries to take the fake and Douglas back to go.

1498
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:26,400
He's got a great time and goes one deep and look out.

1499
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:30,400
Well there's a break for the Lions and again Douglas having time to throw.

1500
01:23:30,400 --> 01:23:32,400
Threw it out there beautifully.

1501
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,400
But Gordon they ruled caught it out of bounds.

1502
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:38,400
And so there's a break for the Lions brings it back to the 36.

1503
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:43,400
And brings up a third down and five to go.

1504
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:48,400
It's four out of eight on his third down.

1505
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:53,400
That off engine line.

1506
01:23:53,400 --> 01:24:02,400
Well let's say you put a high school point about that if he's got all day he could roll.

1507
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:08,400
All on the 35 yard line where it'll be third down and five to go for the Chicago Bears.

1508
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:13,400
And they send Gordon out wide to the right side to the left side.

1509
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,400
And Gordon is to the left.

1510
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:16,400
Third down.

1511
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,400
Big play coming up for Bobby Douglas.

1512
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:21,400
Douglas takes it goes back to throw again.

1513
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:26,400
He looks he throws one deep and the ball goes back there covering this man Gordon.

1514
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:27,400
And it doesn't complete.

1515
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,400
Put a little pressure on him that time Bobby.

1516
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:34,400
That's about one of the few times that they had and Douglas let it go over the head of his intended receiver.

1517
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:40,400
So first that will bring up a fourth down now and bring in the punter with two oh five showing on the clock here in the third quarter.

1518
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,400
And the Lions leading at twenty three to twenty one.

1519
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:55,400
Next week we'll hope you'll join us on the Lion Network for the broadcast a week from the one on our at Milwaukee when the Lions take on the Green Bay Packers another of the interconference clashes with Danny Devine's club.

1520
01:24:55,400 --> 01:25:03,400
Then the Lions after that one who traveled to Denver to take on the Broncos before returning home to play the Los Angeles Rams.

1521
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:11,400
Bobby Joe Green is the kicker and he was as deep of Walton for Detroit and here's the pass and center and the kick and the high wobbly kick.

1522
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:14,400
We often take it on the third and is it immediately.

1523
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:15,400
That's all made right on the third.

1524
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:22,400
That was almost a good place to catch one thirty four yards on the kick and the man that hit him was shaken up on the play more than Walton.

1525
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,400
And that was Brady.

1526
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,400
So.

1527
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:33,400
There's a timeout the Broncos stopped on the field with a score of twenty three Chicago twenty one.

1528
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:37,400
Say friends when the last time that you turn an ordinary time into an occasion.

1529
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:48,400
Why not do it tonight with champagne velvet champagne velvet looks bubbles and tastes so much like champagne that if you didn't know better you'd swear it was champagne.

1530
01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:53,400
Gives you a great feeling a great champagne feeling that have hardly cost more than beer.

1531
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:59,400
Champagne velvet is so much like champagne that it can change even ordinary times into something special.

1532
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:03,400
Now you can't tell me that you couldn't use a little lift in your life right.

1533
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:04,400
And champagne velvet.

1534
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,400
Well it's like a party in a glass.

1535
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,400
So pour yourself a party.

1536
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,400
A champagne velvet party tonight.

1537
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:18,400
Pick up the six pack of cool gold cans or a handy four pack of green and gold bottles and spread the good times around.

1538
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,400
You don't have to sell out the champagne that you're celebrating.

1539
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:25,400
And with champagne velvet you can afford to make any occasion worth celebrating.

1540
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:33,400
Champagne velvet another fine product of Associated Brewing Company Evansville St. Paul and South Bend.

1541
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:38,400
First and then for Detroit from their own thirty and Landry on their gift and failure.

1542
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:45,400
He's going wide at the block right in the corner and he's finally forced out of bounds losing yardage.

1543
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:52,400
Forced out of bounds over there on the twenty five yard line and making the tackle a red over out of it.

1544
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:57,400
Smith also in on the tackle for Chicago back on the twenty seventh so he lost three.

1545
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:02,400
Meryl Manistick three field goals twenty eight forty nine twenty nine yards so far.

1546
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:09,400
The Lions lead the Bears twenty three to twenty one.

1547
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:12,400
Pittsburgh leading Houston now twenty three to sixteen.

1548
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:16,400
McCullough in eight carries twenty three yards.

1549
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:21,400
Walked wide to the right side McCullough deployed to the left with Owens and Taylor the setbacks for Detroit.

1550
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,400
Landry back to throw staying in the pocket.

1551
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:35,400
Flag is down it's completed the Sanders and Sanders is finally knocked out of the thirty seven but a flag is down.

1552
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,400
And let's pause briefly for station identification.

1553
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,400
This is the Detroit Lions football network.

1554
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:46,400
WJR Detroit.

1555
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:51,400
Monday at Sears a thirty three percent on all weather motor oil special entities get easy starts in winter.

1556
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:56,400
Ten court can only two ninety nine at Sears.

1557
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:01,400
Back here the penalty after the flag against Detroit another holding penalty.

1558
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:06,400
That nullifies the past completion of Charlie Sanders who took a good shot at the end of it from Dick Butchers.

1559
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:21,400
They've been proud to take notice for a moment at the seventh penalty against Detroit for seventy one yards and that's them back in the hole again inside their own fifteen at the fourteen yard line.

1560
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:25,400
It's a long way down to pull them out of the spot.

1561
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,400
They're back on the thirteen yard line.

1562
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:36,400
And Landry is back to throw staying in the pocket. He lets me throw and it is incomplete and almost intercepted by Chicago's Charlie Ford.

1563
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:39,400
It's better for Walter and almost intercepted.

1564
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:46,400
A lot of it was putting the pressure on Greg Landry.

1565
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:56,400
Final score Pittsburgh twenty three Houston sixteen final score Miami thirty New York yet fourteen final score Denver twenty seven Cleveland nothing.

1566
01:28:56,400 --> 01:29:06,400
We're going to have a barbecue on these and go out of business quickly.

1567
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:13,400
On the thirteen yard line third down twenty six yards to go.

1568
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:19,400
Atlanta beat New Orleans twenty eight to six.

1569
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:26,400
And then to the right side of Sanders put out a little back is one of the little trouble out there.

1570
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:30,400
But he's going to be pulled down the line of scum by field.

1571
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:37,400
Well, then you can't say it out of course about the job that that defensive unit of the Bears is turning in here today.

1572
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:40,400
They have that pressure on Landry all day today.

1573
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:53,400
In contrast, the Lions have simply not been able to get the Douglas except on maybe one or two occasions. And as a result, Douglas has had good protection back there and been able to complete his passes.

1574
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:58,400
And on the other hand, Landry, of course, without that protection is in all kinds of trouble.

1575
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:05,400
A minute and twenty five remaining fourth down long yardage twenty six and we will have to boot it out of there.

1576
01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:11,400
The other thing along with Turner, Turner is a short man and we were in the end zone.

1577
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:14,400
So he's got to get the foot in it again. Now, I'm moving out of there.

1578
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:18,400
Otherwise, the Bears are going to come up with great field position.

1579
01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:20,400
Good pass from center. He fumbles the ball.

1580
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:26,400
The drop and the Bears were going to cut down, but a flag is down.

1581
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:37,400
The man who came up with it, we were dropped the pass from center.

1582
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:39,400
There's a great break.

1583
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,400
Landry fumbled the pass from center and dropped it.

1584
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:43,400
The kick was blocked.

1585
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:51,400
The Bears picked it up, took it in for a touchdown, but a holding penalty against Chicago will nullify that one.

1586
01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:58,400
The Bears are going to fall up to the 18 yard line and it's an automatic first down for Detroit.

1587
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:04,400
And that's got to be probably then the biggest break of the entire ballgame for Detroit.

1588
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:07,400
And it's the sixth suddenly against the Bears for 71 yards.

1589
01:31:07,400 --> 01:31:11,400
The Lions have had seven for 71.

1590
01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:13,400
Could be the biggest break of the season.

1591
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:21,400
The Bears were holding at 14. We were dropped the pass from center, which is a good pass.

1592
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:24,400
And then it was blocked by the Bears.

1593
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:28,400
Drew Biker picked it up and went into the end zone with a holding penalty against Chicago.

1594
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:32,400
And Dooley's a little upset over there.

1595
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:39,400
Look at Ed Gibbons, he's a little upset too.

1596
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:46,400
The Lions have the football first and 10 on their own 18 yard line.

1597
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:55,400
The microphone down there along the sidelines right now, man, with Ed Gibbons and Jim Dooley and the rest of the Bear coaching staff.

1598
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:57,400
Probably giving it to that official pretty good.

1599
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:02,400
He better get out on the field as they attend it.

1600
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:05,400
Two flaggers, Walton to the right side, McCulloch to the left side.

1601
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:09,400
Lions lead it 23 to 21, a minute to go in the third quarter.

1602
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:15,400
Taylor's in motion. Owens is hit by a field, thrown down at the 15.

1603
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:20,400
He took the handoff and couldn't go anywhere.

1604
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,400
And Bear defense is really fighting up on the offensive line.

1605
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:26,400
They're doing a great job for Dutchess.

1606
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:28,400
The Lions have the ball on the 16.

1607
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:46,400
Now they have second down and 12, 40 seconds to play in the third quarter.

1608
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:50,400
Ready to go now with Walton wide to the right, McCulloch to the left.

1609
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:53,400
Dropping off that secondary now, loosening them up a bit.

1610
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:58,400
That goes Landry to throw. He throws and it is in complete.

1611
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:00,400
It was a good play by Puckett.

1612
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:03,400
But to strip the ball out of the hands of Larry Walton.

1613
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:05,400
Third down to Troy.

1614
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:08,400
Puckett's incidentally leads the Chicago Bears in interception.

1615
01:33:08,400 --> 01:33:11,400
He has had four on the unseason so far.

1616
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:14,400
Not very much yardage after the interception,

1617
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:19,400
but he's been in position to pick off four of them for nine yards.

1618
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:23,400
He's all over that place.

1619
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:33,400
Ball back on the 16, it's third and 12 to go for Detroit.

1620
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,400
The Bears right now have three men up front.

1621
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:38,400
They've got everybody else dropping back.

1622
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:41,400
Look at this. They've got a three-man line up there.

1623
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,400
Now they move a couple up.

1624
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:49,400
Ryan Early, three rushes, waiting for it.

1625
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:51,400
It's Greg Landry with a third and 12.

1626
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,400
He's going back to throw.

1627
01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:57,400
Baves in the pocket and throws one and it is intercepted by Chicago.

1628
01:33:57,400 --> 01:34:00,400
Intercepted by...

1629
01:34:00,400 --> 01:34:04,400
Yeah, a gun and he has finally knocked down on the 21-yard line.

1630
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:06,400
He's going to intercept the ball.

1631
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,400
Here we go. There's the gun.

1632
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,400
That's the end of the third quarter.

1633
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:16,400
Detroit 23, Chicago 21.

1634
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,400
Rob Reynolds along with Dan Patrick from Tiger Stadium up Linger going here.

1635
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:24,400
23-21, the Lions hanging on now with 15 minutes more to play in this ballgame.

1636
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:28,400
The Bears with a fine field position at the Lions 31 after the interception,

1637
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:32,400
as Douglas calls his club back in.

1638
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:37,400
Lions in their defensive huddle inside the 30.

1639
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:42,400
And the rush of the first line of the Bears doing a great job.

1640
01:34:42,400 --> 01:34:47,400
And in contrast, the Lions offensive line having difficulty.

1641
01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:53,400
Douglas is 11 out of 15 for 121 yards, so he's been having a good day.

1642
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:55,400
They came up the line of service once back again.

1643
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:57,400
We have 15 minutes now to go.

1644
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,400
We're in the final quarter here at Tiger Stadium with a two-point lead

1645
01:35:00,400 --> 01:35:04,400
and the Bears right down on the 31-yard line.

1646
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:07,400
What was it that Brickhouse said, the final option for the Chicago Bears

1647
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,400
about Douglas, he said that he has a great day here today.

1648
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:12,400
One thing he's sure he'll be playing on is out in the game.

1649
01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,400
That'll be the first of us for the break.

1650
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:18,400
Wide to the right now goes Gorse.

1651
01:35:18,400 --> 01:35:20,400
He's the only friend.

1652
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,400
Farmer's in tight. Douglas waits.

1653
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:24,400
Douglas gives it off the shy.

1654
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:26,400
He's coming wide trying to turn that corner.

1655
01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:29,400
Cutscene is bumped on the 27-yard line.

1656
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:32,400
He was hit by Al Farr.

1657
01:35:32,400 --> 01:35:40,400
Bobby Mitchell is not in there, and whether Jim Mitchell is not in there

1658
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,400
for the Lions, and he's been outed, we've checked him on the bench over there.

1659
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,400
He's all right.

1660
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:47,400
But he has not been playing.

1661
01:35:47,400 --> 01:35:51,400
And Ball is in there, and a tackle in place of Easey.

1662
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,400
And the ball's on the 27-yard line now.

1663
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:57,400
That second down coming up stands about six and a half.

1664
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:01,400
Farmer to the right side, the I-formation.

1665
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:04,400
Jordan going to the left side.

1666
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:07,400
Second down, one of the pros, Douglas.

1667
01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:08,400
False timeout.

1668
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:11,400
They got bust up somewhere in that backfield.

1669
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:15,400
Douglas wasn't sure of the play and very smartly called the time to go over to the bench now

1670
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,400
to talk to Doolin and straighten it out.

1671
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:22,400
He wants to make very sure with the fine field position that he has that he doesn't make any mistakes.

1672
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:27,400
And conversely, Mike Lucey goes over to talk to defensive coordinator Jimmy David over there

1673
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:33,400
to see that he's got what he wants to do defensively, straighten their out.

1674
01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:40,400
And second down, but the ball where it is, neither team, of course, wants to make a mistake.

1675
01:36:40,400 --> 01:37:04,400
All on the 27-yard line, second down, about six and a half to go for the Chicago Bears on the Detroit 27.

1676
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:10,400
Bobby Douglas, 11 out of 16, 121 yards, running the ball club.

1677
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:11,400
And out of it he comes.

1678
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,400
Since Farmer wide to the left, Gordon is split to the right.

1679
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,400
Grabowski and Shy are the running backs.

1680
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:21,400
And Douglas starts out to dig.

1681
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:22,400
And Douglas pitches it now.

1682
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,400
Shy is going to throw the ball.

1683
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,400
He's going to run with it now and he's caught from behind.

1684
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:30,400
Bobby Bell caught it.

1685
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,400
Mike Lucey was winning and he was going to throw the ball.

1686
01:37:33,400 --> 01:37:34,400
That was a play, Bob.

1687
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:37,400
A half-back option of a pass on the end of it.

1688
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:41,400
That's the first time we've seen it today, but I'm sure that the Lions had that in a playbook

1689
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:45,400
and expected it somewhere along the course of the ball game.

1690
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,400
At that time they came up with it and didn't make it go.

1691
01:37:47,400 --> 01:37:51,400
So it's third down and that key down situation again.

1692
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,400
Third and about 12.

1693
01:37:53,400 --> 01:38:00,400
Wallace is in there now at the tight end, replacing Thomas.

1694
01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:04,400
And they put Farmer to the left, Gordon to the right.

1695
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:08,400
Third and 12.

1696
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,400
Douglas going back to throw.

1697
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:13,400
Gave him the pocket, rolled back now, looking down for him.

1698
01:38:13,400 --> 01:38:18,400
He throws and it's caught at the 18-yard line.

1699
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:21,400
The tight end caught the ball.

1700
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:23,400
Tight end Wallace.

1701
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:29,400
Lucey in on the tackle, but it's the first down for the Bears and Douglas really came up with a big play, didn't he?

1702
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:33,400
And they again, the Lions, if they're not able to get to him,

1703
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:36,400
he rolled out there, had some good running room, but wisely stopped,

1704
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:39,400
picked out a receiver and let it fly for the big first down.

1705
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:41,400
So it's at the 18 now.

1706
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:45,400
First and 10 for the Bears who trail but fight two.

1707
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:49,400
That's 13 first downs with 12.50 to play in the ball game.

1708
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:53,400
Farmer to the right, to the left is Gordon.

1709
01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:55,400
Douglas gives the shy.

1710
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:58,400
Shy is gang tackle, but he's a hard running back.

1711
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:04,400
He's at the 15, driving the 100-yard margin.

1712
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:09,400
95 yards he has gained today.

1713
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:13,400
So it'll be second down coming up now with the ball on the 15-yard line,

1714
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:14,400
second down and seven.

1715
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:25,400
And the clock is moving with 12.20 to play.

1716
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:30,400
The Dallas still leading New England 34 to seven.

1717
01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:35,400
Gordon is wide to the right side, split off to the left is Farmer.

1718
01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:37,400
Waiting for it is Bobby Douglas, second down,

1719
01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,400
and Douglas going back to throw, stays in the pocket.

1720
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:42,400
Runs out of it again, a flag is down.

1721
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:46,400
He throws his cup, but a flag is down on the 11-yard line.

1722
01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:51,400
Mike Weaver made the tackle on the receiver down shy, but a flag went down.

1723
01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:57,400
Looks like it's against the Lions, Van, another one.

1724
01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:04,400
And that one will hurt.

1725
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:07,400
There's discussion going on about it.

1726
01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:08,400
We had two calls down there.

1727
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:11,400
They offset them.

1728
01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:15,400
Here comes the referee.

1729
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:20,400
Holding against Detroit, backfield in motion against Chicago.

1730
01:40:20,400 --> 01:40:24,400
They nullify each other.

1731
01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:30,400
And the point is up to 11, or up to 16, whether it's second down and eight.

1732
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:32,400
Second and eight.

1733
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:35,400
Down shy was on the receiving end of that pass,

1734
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:39,400
and now Thomas is coming back in in place of Waller.

1735
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:45,400
Second down for the Chicago Bears, and the clock's still moving, 11.54.

1736
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:48,400
Out of the huddle they come, with Gordon to the right side

1737
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:51,400
and Gordon to the left side, now it's Farmer.

1738
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:55,400
George Farmer, UCLA.

1739
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:58,400
Douglas, back, throws one, completed the Farmer.

1740
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,400
Farmer's at the five and out of bounds on the four and three.

1741
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:05,400
Oh, he was wide open over there on that sideline pattern.

1742
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:10,400
Van and LeBeau ran him out of bounds, but not before they got a first down.

1743
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,400
Around the neighborhood of the two-yard line, they got a mark, he went out of three.

1744
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,400
He was placed down on the three.

1745
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:18,400
First and goal to go, Chicago.

1746
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,400
You know, it would almost be better to let him score right here

1747
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:22,400
so he could have more time on the clock, wouldn't it?

1748
01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:24,400
He's just fine.

1749
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:30,400
Wallace is back in.

1750
01:41:30,400 --> 01:41:34,400
Farmer's caught six passes today for 96 yards.

1751
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,400
They've been cheating a little on Gort to lead the league,

1752
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:41,400
and in place of them, Farmer's been touching the ball.

1753
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:43,400
He's been open.

1754
01:41:43,400 --> 01:41:46,400
He's been double-teaming Gordon some.

1755
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:49,400
Tight formation, waiting for it to judge him.

1756
01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:53,400
Shy, at the goal line, Luchi shoved him back.

1757
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:57,400
I don't believe he got over.

1758
01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,400
Luchi and Company, topping him on about the one.

1759
01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:04,400
Detroit leading 23 to 21, but that lead is in jeopardy right now,

1760
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:08,400
with the Bears right down there, inside the one-yard line.

1761
01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:09,400
Jim Mitchell is coming back in.

1762
01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:11,400
Evie is back in.

1763
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:13,400
Move off and Walker's off.

1764
01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:15,400
Ball on the one.

1765
01:42:24,400 --> 01:42:26,400
Now they're out of the huddle.

1766
01:42:30,400 --> 01:42:33,400
About to see him shy, right back to the quarterback.

1767
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:36,400
One flanker going to the right.

1768
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:39,400
And a back move.

1769
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,400
One of the backs move, and let's see what happens.

1770
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:45,400
The backs move, the bar goes down,

1771
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:48,400
so the Lions made contact with him.

1772
01:42:48,400 --> 01:42:53,400
So let's see what the officials are going to do about it.

1773
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:58,400
Well, the movement on the part of the Chicago running back was first.

1774
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:04,400
He then stopped, and then the Lions moved through and made contact.

1775
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:09,400
So the question becomes here, in as much as the Bears back,

1776
01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:11,400
that's back and set without moving,

1777
01:43:11,400 --> 01:43:13,400
but the penalty is against Detroit.

1778
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:14,400
It is.

1779
01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,400
However, the penalty only goes about six inches,

1780
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:21,400
because that's about all that they have to move at half the distance to the goal,

1781
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:23,400
about a foot away.

1782
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:27,400
And that didn't make that much difference.

1783
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,400
They can't get it in from six inches back from where it is now.

1784
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:34,400
They're not going to get it in.

1785
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:35,400
That just brings them out of it.

1786
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,400
The fans are booing, but the call was right.

1787
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:46,400
Redwood from the streets over touchdown, Chicago.

1788
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:49,400
Redwood ducked it over on the quarterback's feet.

1789
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:51,400
The call was a good one.

1790
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:54,400
31 yards and 7 plays after the fast interception.

1791
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:56,400
The Bears lead it 27 to 23.

1792
01:43:56,400 --> 01:44:00,400
The back will move, the back will stop.

1793
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:03,400
And so the Lions then moved across to make contact,

1794
01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:06,400
and that was offside to Detroit, illegal procedure.

1795
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:10,400
Now Percival will attempt to make it 28-23.

1796
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:13,400
That puts the Lions out of field goal range.

1797
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:17,400
They're going to go for the big one.

1798
01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:21,400
San Francisco still leading St. Louis 13 to 7.

1799
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:23,400
Bobby Douglas, who got scored, will hold,

1800
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:32,400
and Percival will attempt to get to the point.

1801
01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:35,400
31-7, and here's the kick.

1802
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:37,400
The depth is good.

1803
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:46,400
The clock is stopped on the field with a score of Chicago 28 and Detroit 23.

1804
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:51,400
10-56 to go in the ball game, and the Bears now in front 28-23.

1805
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:53,400
Percival sets it up on the 40.

1806
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:57,400
Jesse back there along with Al Clark, and this crowd settles down,

1807
01:44:57,400 --> 01:45:00,400
realizing the Lions in trouble here.

1808
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:04,400
Here's the booth now by Percival, good high and overhand kick.

1809
01:45:04,400 --> 01:45:09,400
Jesse's going back for it in the end zone, and he's left not to run it out.

1810
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,400
And that's why, because the Bears have good coverage on that one,

1811
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:16,400
they'll bring it out to 20 where it'll be first down at 10 to go for Detroit.

1812
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:28,400
The Lions at 10-15, they fail by 28-23.

1813
01:45:28,400 --> 01:45:32,400
St. Louis still trailing San Francisco 13 to 7, and Dallas leading New England 34-7.

1814
01:45:32,400 --> 01:45:36,400
The other games are over that we have been passing along.

1815
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:40,400
Los Angeles leads Green Bay 7-0 in the first quarter,

1816
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:44,400
stepping on Washington and Kansas City.

1817
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:46,400
Two flankers to the right side.

1818
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,400
Chuck Hughes is in there now and stood out to the right.

1819
01:45:48,400 --> 01:45:50,400
And Landry on again to Owen.

1820
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:55,400
Going up the middle, comes one up to the 29-yard line with it on the first right up the middle.

1821
01:45:55,400 --> 01:46:00,400
The tackle was made by Lyle, Gary Lyle.

1822
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:05,400
Owen's got nine yards. It'll be second down and one.

1823
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:12,400
Fourth quarter now, San Francisco leads St. Louis 16 to 7.

1824
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:16,400
To the right is Chuck Hughes, to the left is McCullough.

1825
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,400
So Walton is out of there.

1826
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:21,400
Taylor and Owens are set back.

1827
01:46:21,400 --> 01:46:24,400
Landry looking over that defense, and Landry gives it to Owen.

1828
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:31,400
Owen gets the first down, moving to the 33 up the middle, and feels like the tackle for Chicago.

1829
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,400
So they have a first down. They have it on the 33-yard line,

1830
01:46:34,400 --> 01:46:43,400
but the Lions are trailing 28 to 23 and that's 15 first down.

1831
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:46,400
The Rams and Tommy Perlbrough are improving all the time.

1832
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,400
They're leading Green Bay 7 to nothing.

1833
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,400
One week from tomorrow night, the Lions will meet Green Bay and County Stadium in Milwaukee.

1834
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,400
Hughes flanked out to the right side, McCullough's on the right side,

1835
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:59,400
and Sanders defluxed to the left at the double-wing formation.

1836
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:02,400
The running back is Alfie Taylor.

1837
01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:05,400
Landry gives it to Taylor.

1838
01:47:05,400 --> 01:47:11,400
Taylor turns the corner, and he's going to be knocked out of bounds at the 33-yard line.

1839
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:15,400
Steele's chasing him out over there along with Buckeye.

1840
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:20,400
And a defense is back coming up, and that was Jeter.

1841
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:24,400
So they'll march that ball on the 33-yard line, no gain on the play.

1842
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:29,400
And the clock, and that's important now, is 9.29, and Crippa's coming in for Detroit.

1843
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:32,400
And going out is Steve Owens.

1844
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:44,400
Owens and 16 carries today have gained 80 yards.

1845
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:49,400
Now Hughes and McCullough are both on the right side, and Sanders has wired to the left.

1846
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,400
In the flop, the left is Crippa.

1847
01:47:51,400 --> 01:47:56,400
There's a double-wing second down and 10 yards to go from the 33-yard line of Detroit.

1848
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:02,400
And Greg Landry goes back to the floor, staying in the pocket, throws one to Crippa, over to him.

1849
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:06,400
He had him open down the middle, Bob.

1850
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:10,400
And he was getting some pressure there, too, from Willie Holman, the defensive end,

1851
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:13,400
four-year man from South Carolina State.

1852
01:48:13,400 --> 01:48:17,400
And Holman hit him about a second or so after Landry let it go.

1853
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:19,400
I don't think he could see very well on the play.

1854
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:23,400
He's always a big guy, and he just overthrew it.

1855
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:30,400
Now it's third down and perhaps the biggest third down that Landry will face here this afternoon with 9.24 to go.

1856
01:48:30,400 --> 01:48:38,400
He's 8 out of 17 with one interception for 116 yards, and he needs a long one here.

1857
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:43,400
He's 5 out of 10 on the third down situation, batting 500.

1858
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:46,400
Both set, Owens is back in.

1859
01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:49,400
Crippa's up there and they've brought that play in.

1860
01:48:49,400 --> 01:48:52,400
Landry going back to the floor, staying in that pocket again.

1861
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:55,400
He's going to be brought down way back on the 21-yard line.

1862
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:59,400
That fast coverage out there for him is just gulp down.

1863
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:02,400
Willie Holman brought him down on the 21-yard line.

1864
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:05,400
Now that's the difference here as the things turned around a little bit, Van,

1865
01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:12,400
as you had been pointing out all during the ballgame that the pressure has been on from that fair defense.

1866
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:16,400
And if you don't have the time to throw, there isn't much you can do about it.

1867
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:17,400
You're just getting the lines.

1868
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:23,400
You're just getting beat at the line, in the pit, as they say, where the battles are won and lost.

1869
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:30,400
And right now, Weaver needs a good foot, or the Bears again will have fine field position with 9.7 to go

1870
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:32,400
and interception of the football.

1871
01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:36,400
Grip is deep for Chicago.

1872
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:40,400
Herman Weaver's waiting on the 5.

1873
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:43,400
Almost blocked, but he's got a beautiful kick away.

1874
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:48,400
Ooh, look at this, all the way to the 23-yard line, Grip going wide.

1875
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,400
Trying to get some running room.

1876
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:57,400
He's finally brought down by Mickey Zopto, and a flag is down.

1877
01:49:57,400 --> 01:49:58,400
Clipping on the play.

1878
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:02,400
56 yards on that kick by Herman Weaver when he needed it.

1879
01:50:02,400 --> 01:50:05,400
56 yards.

1880
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:10,400
There'll be a clip.

1881
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:12,400
He'll walk off against the Bears.

1882
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:16,400
Got to move him back into a little trouble with 8.42 to go.

1883
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:19,400
All the way back to the 14-yard line.

1884
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:24,400
That's the seventh penalty, 86 yards.

1885
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:28,400
15 all together between these two clubs here today.

1886
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:31,400
We're getting a timeout.

1887
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:39,400
12 o'clock is stepped on the field, and the score, the Bears 28, the Lions 23.

1888
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:43,400
Ball on the 14-yard line of Chicago, first and 10 for the Bears.

1889
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:47,400
Farmer to the right side, Gordon to the left side.

1890
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:53,400
Chai and Grobowski are the running backs for Chicago, and Bobby Douglas gives it to Chai.

1891
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:56,400
Chai's hit it for 15, no game, no anybody got a yard.

1892
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:58,400
Paul Newboff made the tackle.

1893
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,400
Joe Laff was also in there.

1894
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:02,400
Bobby Bell is in there for Detroit.

1895
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:04,400
He's been playing most of his last half.

1896
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:10,400
And now Cyril Fender is coming into the backfield for Chicago and lepping off a little of Chai.

1897
01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:13,400
Took a little skip there, but I guess he's all right.

1898
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:15,400
He's a great backhand.

1899
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:16,400
What do you know?

1900
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:20,400
They came up with a big win yesterday, not got Purdue.

1901
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:22,400
And then James was upset, huh?

1902
01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:24,400
I thought you mentioned that.

1903
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:28,400
28 to 14.

1904
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:30,400
Michigan with another big win today.

1905
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:33,400
Farmer and Gordon are split.

1906
01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,400
Waiting now is Bobby Douglas.

1907
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:38,400
Got second in line, and back he goes to grow.

1908
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:40,400
He's doing well, doctor.

1909
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:42,400
And he grows it quickly.

1910
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,400
That's a 15-yard line, did you believe that?

1911
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:47,400
The Packers stayed on the 20.

1912
01:51:47,400 --> 01:51:51,400
They had him finally cross back on about the 3-yard line.

1913
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:53,400
Unbelievable.

1914
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:54,400
Unbelievable.

1915
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:59,400
That was really about the third time all afternoon that the Lions had some pressure on Douglas.

1916
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:04,400
He got away from it, however, they had him way back there at the 3-yard line.

1917
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:08,400
Finally found the receiver, Fender, and got the ball to him up on the 20.

1918
01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:17,400
And now it is third down and about four to go for the first down here with the class running and showing 7-21.

1919
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:21,400
And Douglas is a strong kid.

1920
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:25,400
Third down, about four from the 20.

1921
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:27,400
Big play right here.

1922
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:30,400
Seven minutes to go.

1923
01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:34,400
Fender, a double-wing formation now.

1924
01:52:34,400 --> 01:52:38,400
Bobby Douglas, with Gordon set out the right side, he's going back to grow.

1925
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:39,400
He grows one, it's complete.

1926
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,400
First down, Chicago.

1927
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:43,400
Completed to Gordon in the right flat.

1928
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:45,400
Weger made the tackle with first.

1929
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:50,400
And he came up with a big, big play right there, getting a first down.

1930
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:54,400
And so that's 16 first down for the Chicago Bears.

1931
01:52:54,400 --> 01:52:57,400
Fender is on the 28-yard line.

1932
01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:00,400
Six minutes, 30 seconds to play.

1933
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:03,400
That's all the Lions need to get their hands on the football.

1934
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:08,400
They're trailing 28 to 23, and the field goal will do no good.

1935
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:09,400
Five points down.

1936
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:15,400
Any question about it when they start discussing key plays in this ball game, it will be Douglas is wiggling out of that one,

1937
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:21,400
completing the fast defender and then throwing the short one out in the flat for the first down.

1938
01:53:21,400 --> 01:53:24,400
High formation to give as the Fender.

1939
01:53:24,400 --> 01:53:26,400
Fender's hit right up the 30-yard line.

1940
01:53:26,400 --> 01:53:29,400
He got a couple of yards.

1941
01:53:29,400 --> 01:53:32,400
Fox continues to move, and it's important now.

1942
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:36,400
Lucci made the tackle for Detroit, along with Larry Han.

1943
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:42,400
Bob, I want to thank Jerry Brusser, who was kind enough to come down to South Bend and pick us up last night

1944
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:47,400
and get us back here in time for a big ceremonial lay-up for a good friend of yours and mine,

1945
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:53,400
so the pro golfer at the Dearborn Country Club.

1946
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:55,400
Ball on the 30-yard line.

1947
01:53:55,400 --> 01:54:00,400
Second down, eight yards to go for the Bears, 5.40 to play.

1948
01:54:00,400 --> 01:54:03,400
Bears lead 28-23.

1949
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:05,400
Jordan to the right side.

1950
01:54:05,400 --> 01:54:06,400
Here's Douglas.

1951
01:54:06,400 --> 01:54:07,400
Back to throw.

1952
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:08,400
He's in a little trouble.

1953
01:54:08,400 --> 01:54:09,400
He looks and he throws.

1954
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:12,400
They finally get to it, back on the 24-yard line.

1955
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,400
First time.

1956
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:16,400
Are you almost public?

1957
01:54:16,400 --> 01:54:22,400
That's the first time that the Lions have been able to get to Douglas all day.

1958
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:26,400
If you don't count the one three or four plays ago when they had him hemmed in down there,

1959
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:27,400
that he got out of it.

1960
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:31,400
That time he got hit from the blind side, nearly dropped the ball, fell around to it.

1961
01:54:31,400 --> 01:54:33,400
However, the Lions finally got to it.

1962
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:41,400
That's the 24, so it brings up that big third down play again with five minutes and 24 seconds in the clock running.

1963
01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:45,400
This is a big play right here, I'll tell you.

1964
01:54:45,400 --> 01:54:47,400
Well, the Bears are talking over the huddle.

1965
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:51,400
One of the biggest plays they'll call all day right here.

1966
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:53,400
Jordan to the right side.

1967
01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:55,400
Farmer to the left side.

1968
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:58,400
Bobby Douglas in an eye formation.

1969
01:54:58,400 --> 01:55:04,400
And he's going to run it from the eye, or call the play, and he pitches it out here to Fender who goes wide.

1970
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:08,400
Fender's caught at the 26-yard line.

1971
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:13,400
And all down there, making the tackle with Mike Lucey, and he can hardly get up,

1972
01:55:13,400 --> 01:55:15,400
and what a ballgame he has played.

1973
01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:17,400
He's playing with injuries.

1974
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:20,400
Looks like he might have that shoulder bruised again.

1975
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:25,400
Ball on the 26-yard line is four down and 12 yards to go.

1976
01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:29,400
And Chuck Hughes and Al Parker back there for the score.

1977
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:33,400
Now the clock with four minutes and 30 seconds in movement.

1978
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:36,400
And the Bears lead it 28 to 23.

1979
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:40,400
So if you're driving your automobile, drive carefully right now.

1980
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:41,400
Hang on.

1981
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:43,400
That's right.

1982
01:55:43,400 --> 01:55:45,400
Pass them center to green.

1983
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:50,400
He gets a short kick, but he comes around the 45 and gets a good bounce for him, though.

1984
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:57,400
He got a short kick, but if you look at the bounce he gets, a tremendous bounce all the way down to the 25-yard line.

1985
01:55:57,400 --> 01:56:02,400
A wobbling, swift type of kick, and he's got 49 yards out of it.

1986
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:06,400
That's your drop shot to get a good roll in your L.O., is it?

1987
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:12,400
And what happens on that artificial turf, too, Van, is when you hit a line drive front,

1988
01:56:12,400 --> 01:56:16,400
maybe about 20 yards and then you just boom right out of there.

1989
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:23,400
For Christopher, 16, St. Louis, 14 now on the fourth quarter.

1990
01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:32,400
While we have the opportunity here, let's let the stations around the network identify themselves.

1991
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:34,400
Fifteen seconds for station identification.

1992
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:41,400
This is the Detroit Lions football network.

1993
01:56:41,400 --> 01:56:47,400
Landry is 8 out of 17 for 104 yards, and he's got it what cut out now.

1994
01:56:47,400 --> 01:56:49,400
He's 75 yards away.

1995
01:56:49,400 --> 01:56:54,400
The 25-yard line, four minutes and nine seconds to play.

1996
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:59,400
Hughes is in there and flank to the left, McCullough to the right.

1997
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:05,400
Greg Landry going back to throw, stays in the pocket, throws one, two,

1998
01:57:05,400 --> 01:57:10,400
hole into the 30, and he's tackled in a hard, jarring tackle by Smith.

1999
01:57:10,400 --> 01:57:13,400
Long Smith, ball to the right of the 30-yard line.

2000
01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:19,400
The clock is still running, and that clock is a big factor now, 28 to 23.

2001
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:20,400
McCullough has gone deep.

2002
01:57:20,400 --> 01:57:28,400
He's just now getting back to the huddle with second and five for Detroit from their own 30.

2003
01:57:28,400 --> 01:57:32,400
And now Hughes goes to the right, McCullough to the left.

2004
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:36,400
Greg Landry looking over that defense.

2005
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:41,400
Buccus and Bappone, those linebackers, jammed in there, waiting for it.

2006
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:43,400
It's Landry going back again to throw.

2007
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:44,400
He's in a little trouble.

2008
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,400
He throws, and it is incomplete.

2009
01:57:47,400 --> 01:57:49,400
He hits Charlie Sanders, and Buccus was right there with him,

2010
01:57:49,400 --> 01:57:55,400
but it's a glancing pass and a bounce right away from him.

2011
01:57:55,400 --> 01:57:59,400
And so that will make it third down and five yards to go for the Detroit Lions

2012
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:04,400
with three minutes and 24 seconds of playing time remaining.

2013
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:07,400
And the Bears are leading it 28 to 23.

2014
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:12,400
Eddie O'Grado is breathing right down the throat of Landry that time.

2015
01:58:12,400 --> 01:58:14,400
At the last second, he's prodded Sanders.

2016
01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:19,400
Buccus is covering on the play, and it goes incomplete.

2017
01:58:19,400 --> 01:58:24,400
San Francisco leads St. Louis 23 to 14.

2018
01:58:24,400 --> 01:58:28,400
Landry with three pointers, going back to throw again.

2019
01:58:28,400 --> 01:58:30,400
He throws one deep for McCullough.

2020
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:35,400
The footbreak is on, and it is very deceptive by the Chicago Bears.

2021
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:40,400
Intercepted at the 32-yard line by the Bears in terms of the color.

2022
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:44,400
So the Bears now have a great shot at them.

2023
01:58:44,400 --> 01:58:45,400
I'm trying to get that number.

2024
01:58:45,400 --> 01:58:51,400
It's covered with mud.

2025
01:58:51,400 --> 01:58:56,400
29, Jeter is the man who intercepted the pass.

2026
01:58:56,400 --> 01:59:02,400
Second interception, and the Bears are in business now, Bob.

2027
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:07,400
I'm just thinking about Jeter out there, and that's his first interception of the year.

2028
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:10,400
Comes at a very opportune time, of course, for the Chicago Bears,

2029
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:13,400
who now have three minutes and five seconds to kill here

2030
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:17,400
with a ball at their own 31 and leading 28-23.

2031
01:59:17,400 --> 01:59:21,400
I wouldn't be surprised if he dug this with a little ball control now, for sure,

2032
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:24,400
with 255 showing right now.

2033
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:31,400
But he gives it off to Pender, and Pender runs out wide at the 40, the 45, the 50, the 45, the 40, the 35,

2034
01:59:31,400 --> 01:59:33,400
and he's finally out of bounds.

2035
01:59:33,400 --> 01:59:37,400
Down on the 32-yard line.

2036
01:59:37,400 --> 01:59:41,400
Finally got out of bounds on the 32-yard line, a 37-yard run.

2037
01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:45,400
They mark it on the 31 first down.

2038
01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:48,400
And the Bears are now in field goal position.

2039
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,400
There's nothing else.

2040
01:59:51,400 --> 01:59:58,400
17, first down.

2041
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:02,400
First and 10 from the 31-yard line.

2042
02:00:02,400 --> 02:00:07,400
Farmer to the right side, Gordon to the left side.

2043
02:00:07,400 --> 02:00:10,400
28-23, Chicago.

2044
02:00:10,400 --> 02:00:12,400
Bobby Douglas calling the signals.

2045
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:17,400
Douglas on the give now to his running back, Pender, and he's dumped on the 32-yard line.

2046
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:21,400
And Joe Roth made the tackle along with Paul Newmont.

2047
02:00:21,400 --> 02:00:24,400
So he lost the yard on the play.

2048
02:00:24,400 --> 02:00:26,400
It'll be second down and 11 yards to go.

2049
02:00:26,400 --> 02:00:28,400
Dallas leading 37-7.

2050
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:34,400
We're coming up to the two-minute mark. It's 2-20 to go.

2051
02:00:34,400 --> 02:00:38,400
Wallace is in now, tight end, replacing Thomas.

2052
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:42,400
The Lions are on the verge now of their second defeat of the season.

2053
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:47,400
They're trailing five points here with two minutes and ten seconds play.

2054
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:50,400
And the Bears left the football, which is the big item.

2055
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:54,400
Farmer to the right, Gordon to the left. It's second down and 11.

2056
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:58,400
Douglas taking a lot of time, and he gives it off now to Pender.

2057
02:00:58,400 --> 02:01:02,400
And Pender is up the nice 29-yard line.

2058
02:01:02,400 --> 02:01:04,400
And there's the two-minute warning.

2059
02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:09,400
So the clock is stopped on the field with the score of Chicago 28, Detroit 23.

2060
02:01:09,400 --> 02:01:16,400
Ready to go now with the ball on the 29-yard line.

2061
02:01:16,400 --> 02:01:22,400
It's third down and eight yards to go for the Chicago Bears with two minutes of playing time remaining.

2062
02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:26,400
Bears lead at 28-23.

2063
02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:31,400
Farmer to the right, to the left, Leather, and Gordon to the right.

2064
02:01:31,400 --> 02:01:34,400
Pender and Drabowski to setback.

2065
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:36,400
Douglas with a third and eight.

2066
02:01:36,400 --> 02:01:38,400
Douglas rolling out to the right.

2067
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:42,400
Let's roll to the end zone, and everyone is out of the lead to go.

2068
02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:48,400
Mark was beaten on the play, but the pass was overthrown.

2069
02:01:48,400 --> 02:01:53,400
Well, that means Percival now will get a chance to stack on three more here.

2070
02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:58,400
It would make it 31, and it would make it 31-23.

2071
02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:04,400
Which means then the Lions, even if they scored seven, will still be short.

2072
02:02:04,400 --> 02:02:10,400
Field goal here was just about put it out of reach.

2073
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:13,400
And that's got to be the understatement.

2074
02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:20,400
Oakland is leading Cincinnati 3-0, and Washington leads Kansas 37-0.

2075
02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:25,400
The attempt will be made from the 36-yard line, an angle to the left of the hash mark.

2076
02:02:25,400 --> 02:02:28,400
The kicker is in the air.

2077
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:31,400
It's not directed, but it looks like it's off the way, and it's no good.

2078
02:02:31,400 --> 02:02:33,400
The Lions have a shot.

2079
02:02:33,400 --> 02:02:41,400
It's no good, but the Lions have a shot at it now.

2080
02:02:41,400 --> 02:02:43,400
They have the ball on their own 20.

2081
02:02:43,400 --> 02:02:47,400
They have a minute and 46 seconds of playing time remaining.

2082
02:02:47,400 --> 02:02:56,400
Ready to go back a few years, man, and you say, here's the body-align situation.

2083
02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:59,400
Time running out, 80 yards away.

2084
02:02:59,400 --> 02:03:05,400
We'll see whether the Lions offensive line can hold them out of there to give Greg time to throw,

2085
02:03:05,400 --> 02:03:07,400
because that's what he needs.

2086
02:03:07,400 --> 02:03:10,400
He goes to the right, to the left, with McCullough, and Landry is going back to throw.

2087
02:03:10,400 --> 02:03:13,400
Stays in that pocket and throws one to Sanders.

2088
02:03:13,400 --> 02:03:17,400
He's got it up the 32-yard line, first down the court.

2089
02:03:17,400 --> 02:03:19,400
At the 32, first made the tackle.

2090
02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:23,400
A minute and 38 seconds of playing time remaining.

2091
02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:26,400
But you've got to remember this now.

2092
02:03:26,400 --> 02:03:32,400
That clock is a big, big factor with only a minute and 38, and Landry calling the time out.

2093
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:35,400
The Lions have two timeouts remaining.

2094
02:03:35,400 --> 02:03:42,400
They've got to try to conserve as much of that time as they possibly can to try and pull it out here at Piper Stadium.

2095
02:03:42,400 --> 02:03:48,400
Not many of these fans are left on the 32-yard line, first down and then to go.

2096
02:03:48,400 --> 02:03:52,400
Landry needs to come up with his big play right now.

2097
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:03,400
This is not a typical Chicago dismal ball game.

2098
02:04:03,400 --> 02:04:06,400
A rough, tough affair.

2099
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:12,400
You take a physical beating every time you play those mad monsters from the midway in the Chicago Bears.

2100
02:04:22,400 --> 02:04:25,400
Right to the left side is Hughes, McCullough to the right.

2101
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:28,400
Double wing formation, Landry is back to throw.

2102
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:31,400
The rush is on. He throws the Hughes at the finish.

2103
02:04:31,400 --> 02:04:34,400
He's down to the 36-yard line.

2104
02:04:34,400 --> 02:04:40,400
And Jair Lyle made the tackle and Chuck Hughes pulled it in on the 37-yard line.

2105
02:04:40,400 --> 02:04:43,400
It's first down to court, and this stadium is in the bedlam.

2106
02:04:43,400 --> 02:04:47,400
The clock is moving. Landry asking for quiet.

2107
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:52,400
And now the official timeout. That was a 31-yard game.

2108
02:04:52,400 --> 02:04:56,400
The officials call timeout because the Bears were taking their time getting up there.

2109
02:04:56,400 --> 02:04:58,400
Now Landry's going into it real quick.

2110
02:04:58,400 --> 02:05:02,400
Landry back to throw. Throws one out of bounds to stop the clock.

2111
02:05:02,400 --> 02:05:06,400
Now you've got to set up a play with one minute and 12 seconds.

2112
02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:09,400
Would you call this the cliffhanger?

2113
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:12,400
Yeah, by a bird.

2114
02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:16,400
What arrows you ought to put to it.

2115
02:05:16,400 --> 02:05:19,400
The way it is seemingly at least every Sunday.

2116
02:05:19,400 --> 02:05:26,400
Now Ryan Loss here today with dropping them back into second place in that tight central division range with the Chicago Bears.

2117
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:32,400
And we have some of that Minnesota Baltimore game tomorrow night.

2118
02:05:32,400 --> 02:05:38,400
And to reaffirm what we were talking about earlier, man, I definitely will be pulling some Baltimore.

2119
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:43,400
Hughes wide to the right. The left side now is McCullough.

2120
02:05:43,400 --> 02:05:46,400
One minute and 12 seconds to go in the ballgame.

2121
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:49,400
First down on the 37-yard line of Chicago.

2122
02:05:49,400 --> 02:05:51,400
And most of now goes Taylor.

2123
02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:53,400
Landry is going back to throw.

2124
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:56,400
He looks, he throws the throw and there's got to.

2125
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:58,400
Butkus has been hit.

2126
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:02,400
Butkus was belted by Butkus just as he caught the football.

2127
02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:05,400
Now that makes the great Butkus play of course.

2128
02:06:05,400 --> 02:06:09,400
And there he is, the big man and the big shot.

2129
02:06:09,400 --> 02:06:13,400
In a very, very key play because I doubt that very much.

2130
02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:18,400
If it had been anybody else but Butkus, but what Sanders would have held onto that one.

2131
02:06:18,400 --> 02:06:21,400
But Butkus was right there where he belonged covering on the play.

2132
02:06:21,400 --> 02:06:25,400
And when Sanders caught the ball, he fell at him and knocked the ball loose from him.

2133
02:06:25,400 --> 02:06:28,400
So the clock now shows a minute and six.

2134
02:06:28,400 --> 02:06:31,400
And the Bears now are calling time out.

2135
02:06:31,400 --> 02:06:38,400
As Butkus goes over to the sideline to talk to Jim Dooley and Abe Gibran, who is his defensive coach.

2136
02:06:38,400 --> 02:06:45,400
Landry going over the sidelines along with Bill Triplett as Steve Owens comes into the lineup now.

2137
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:53,400
And with a minute and six showing third down, 10 to go, the ball up the 37 yard line of the Chicago Bears.

2138
02:06:53,400 --> 02:07:03,400
The drama and the tension continues to build here in the closing moments of this one.

2139
02:07:03,400 --> 02:07:05,400
Now Bill Triplett is coming down.

2140
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:08,400
So it might be they might try to play a while ago.

2141
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:09,400
They almost got away with it.

2142
02:07:09,400 --> 02:07:16,400
They threw the Triplett down the middle when Landry's vision was shaken a little as he was hit just as he delivered the ball.

2143
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:19,400
Butkus went over there to talk to Abe Gibran, the defensive coach.

2144
02:07:19,400 --> 02:07:23,400
And the ball is on the 37th, third down and 10 to go for Detroit.

2145
02:07:23,400 --> 02:07:28,400
That one and Landry over talking with Coach Smith along the sidelines.

2146
02:07:28,400 --> 02:07:31,400
And so the Lions have Triplett in there.

2147
02:07:31,400 --> 02:07:32,400
So let's see what they do.

2148
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:34,400
They might try to.

2149
02:07:34,400 --> 02:07:39,400
What thing has he gone out? Taylor Owens went there so he went right back out again.

2150
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:43,400
So now let's see what they do.

2151
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:44,400
Gettin' them into a double win.

2152
02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:47,400
Waiting for it is Landry and he's going back to throw.

2153
02:07:47,400 --> 02:07:52,400
He goes to say Owens but oh his hands are thanded.

2154
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:56,400
Right through standards here.

2155
02:07:56,400 --> 02:07:57,400
That's a little unusual.

2156
02:07:57,400 --> 02:07:59,400
A lion hurt down there at the 16 yard line.

2157
02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:02,400
He just collapsed and fell.

2158
02:08:02,400 --> 02:08:04,400
So we'll have to wait and see.

2159
02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:09,400
Sometimes that will stop the class for an injury.

2160
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:14,400
And Dr. Guise comes in along with Dr. Thompson to have a look at him.

2161
02:08:14,400 --> 02:08:21,400
I wouldn't be surprised then either that if Charlie Sanders hadn't taken a pretty good knock on the previous play to that.

2162
02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:28,400
And he might have been still a little shaken up when Landry drilled that one to him because it just went right through his hands.

2163
02:08:28,400 --> 02:08:33,400
And his reaction just a slight but total blow of poor Charlie.

2164
02:08:33,400 --> 02:08:38,400
And you have to think that he probably got a good wrap when Buck just hit him before.

2165
02:08:38,400 --> 02:08:40,400
I can't see who the injured player is.

2166
02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:41,400
It's you, is there, Bob.

2167
02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:42,400
It's you, is there, Bob.

2168
02:08:42,400 --> 02:08:43,400
It's up to you.

2169
02:08:43,400 --> 02:08:46,400
You caught a big pass there a moment ago.

2170
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:51,400
Drippert is in there now bringing it a play to Landry.

2171
02:08:51,400 --> 02:08:53,400
I didn't see what happened to you.

2172
02:08:53,400 --> 02:08:58,400
I just saw him fall and just sort of like he collapsed.

2173
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:03,400
And he seems to be in a considerable amount of pain down there at the 16-yard line.

2174
02:09:03,400 --> 02:09:08,400
We've got a minute and two seconds left in this one here.

2175
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:16,400
And they're treating Mr. Hughes pretty gingerly down there.

2176
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:21,400
Landry goes over to talk to Monson along the sidelines.

2177
02:09:21,400 --> 02:09:24,400
With a minute and two seconds of playing time remaining in this ballgame,

2178
02:09:24,400 --> 02:09:28,400
it is Chicago 28 and Detroit 23.

2179
02:09:28,400 --> 02:09:33,400
The Millions have four and ten.

2180
02:09:33,400 --> 02:09:35,400
So this is it.

2181
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:39,400
They're getting all righty right here.

2182
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:43,400
Dallas leads New England now 37-7.

2183
02:09:43,400 --> 02:09:46,400
And San Francisco leading St. Louis 23-14.

2184
02:09:46,400 --> 02:09:49,400
Los Angeles leading Green Bay 7-0.

2185
02:09:49,400 --> 02:09:52,400
And Washington 7-7, Kansas City nothing in the first quarter.

2186
02:09:52,400 --> 02:09:55,400
And Oakland leading Cincinnati 3-0 in the first quarter.

2187
02:09:55,400 --> 02:10:00,400
Man, I don't like the looks of this injury down here at all.

2188
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:09,400
It appears that Chuck is really hurt.

2189
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:11,400
Well, we've got both trainers and both doctors out there.

2190
02:10:11,400 --> 02:10:14,400
They may go for the stretchers.

2191
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:16,400
They haven't put it out yet.

2192
02:10:16,400 --> 02:10:26,400
They're in a hush crowd here at Tiger Stadium right now.

2193
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:29,400
And they're still working on Hughes down around the 15-yard line.

2194
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:32,400
As Bob mentioned, I didn't see what happened to him.

2195
02:10:32,400 --> 02:10:38,400
He just went down right on the 15 in the heat.

2196
02:10:38,400 --> 02:10:42,400
Well, it's just up to Dave Pittsburgh, 23, Houston 16.

2197
02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:43,400
That's the final now.

2198
02:10:43,400 --> 02:10:48,400
Miami 30, New York Jets 14, Denver beat Cleveland 27-0.

2199
02:10:48,400 --> 02:10:52,400
Final scores in Atlanta beat New Orleans 28-6.

2200
02:10:52,400 --> 02:10:55,400
Philadelphia won their first game, 23-7 over New York.

2201
02:10:55,400 --> 02:10:58,400
Man, there's no point, of course, to speculating on the injury,

2202
02:10:58,400 --> 02:11:02,400
but I think they're going to call the stretcher on some oxygen here.

2203
02:11:02,400 --> 02:11:07,400
It could be a neck injury.

2204
02:11:07,400 --> 02:11:31,400
I just don't like the look of it at all.

2205
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:37,400
They're bringing the stretcher out now from the sideline.

2206
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:42,400
They administered oxygen to him, and I think it's a neck injury.

2207
02:11:42,400 --> 02:11:44,400
I'm all more positive of it now.

2208
02:11:44,400 --> 02:11:55,400
I see Dr. Thompson and Dr. Guise assigned to get something back in shape there.

2209
02:11:55,400 --> 02:12:05,400
That doesn't look good at the moment, that's for sure.

2210
02:12:25,400 --> 02:12:28,400
You know, the funny thing about it, Bob, he caught that pass a moment ago,

2211
02:12:28,400 --> 02:12:32,400
and he might have been shaken up on that particular play,

2212
02:12:32,400 --> 02:12:40,400
and then Fred Snowden who's sitting here in our booth said that he was watching him,

2213
02:12:40,400 --> 02:12:44,400
and he said that he was downfield running the pass pattern,

2214
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:47,400
then turned around and started back to the huddle as when he collapsed,

2215
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:52,400
but he was nearly, so he might have been hit on the way prior to that.

2216
02:12:52,400 --> 02:12:55,400
They are administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to Hughes,

2217
02:12:55,400 --> 02:13:01,400
and Dr. Guise is now pumping his chest.

2218
02:13:01,400 --> 02:13:04,400
We may have a real serious one down here.

2219
02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:09,400
I certainly hope not, but this young man is in serious trouble,

2220
02:13:09,400 --> 02:13:13,400
and they are going to rush him off of there.

2221
02:13:13,400 --> 02:13:18,400
When you have to restore to pumping the chest and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation,

2222
02:13:18,400 --> 02:13:21,400
you've got a serious injury.

2223
02:13:21,400 --> 02:13:30,400
Everybody here in the stadium, all 54,000, hushed over this injury to Hughes.

2224
02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:34,400
Now they are taking him off in a big hurry.

2225
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:38,400
I just don't like the looks of it at all.

2226
02:13:38,400 --> 02:13:41,400
That's a shame.

2227
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:46,400
That casts a fall, of course, on this entire stadium here.

2228
02:13:46,400 --> 02:13:49,400
We can only hope we'll get the word to you as soon as we find out

2229
02:13:49,400 --> 02:13:51,400
just exactly what it is.

2230
02:13:51,400 --> 02:13:57,400
We're back into the action with a minute and two seconds left to play.

2231
02:13:57,400 --> 02:14:00,400
And it's 4th down and 10 for Detroit with a minute and two

2232
02:14:00,400 --> 02:14:02,400
as Landry is going back to throw.

2233
02:14:02,400 --> 02:14:06,400
He looks, he throws deep out here, and this one is tipped in the air, incomplete,

2234
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:09,400
and so the Bears will take over with a march down.

2235
02:14:09,400 --> 02:14:12,400
So that was the play of the center for Taylor,

2236
02:14:12,400 --> 02:14:15,400
and that was the big play right there.

2237
02:14:15,400 --> 02:14:17,400
The Lions need it.

2238
02:14:17,400 --> 02:14:21,400
And so the Bears leading by a score of 28 to 23 have the football

2239
02:14:21,400 --> 02:14:23,400
on their own 37-yard line.

2240
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:25,400
They have it 4th down and 10 to go,

2241
02:14:25,400 --> 02:14:27,400
and all they've got to do now is run out the clock,

2242
02:14:27,400 --> 02:14:31,400
and they've had the Lions their second defeat of the season.

2243
02:14:31,400 --> 02:14:39,400
Bobby Douglas.

2244
02:14:39,400 --> 02:14:41,400
Now he'll try to run out that clock,

2245
02:14:41,400 --> 02:14:48,400
and he's only got 56 seconds to run it out.

2246
02:14:48,400 --> 02:14:50,400
Farmer has split out the right side.

2247
02:14:50,400 --> 02:14:56,400
Gordon is deploying to the left.

2248
02:14:56,400 --> 02:14:57,400
Douglas on the call.

2249
02:14:57,400 --> 02:14:59,400
I don't imagine he'll try to do much with it.

2250
02:14:59,400 --> 02:15:02,400
He just gives it off to Fender, who's tackled by Joel Robb,

2251
02:15:02,400 --> 02:15:07,400
and the Lions will utilize their timeouts now to stop the clock.

2252
02:15:07,400 --> 02:15:09,400
He lost a little yardage on that one,

2253
02:15:09,400 --> 02:15:12,400
but they're not concerned about that.

2254
02:15:12,400 --> 02:15:16,400
All they want to do is hold onto the ball and run out the clock.

2255
02:15:16,400 --> 02:15:20,400
I went back, man, into the front box,

2256
02:15:20,400 --> 02:15:24,400
and very concerned, Russ Thomas was making his way

2257
02:15:24,400 --> 02:15:25,400
hurriedly through the dressing room.

2258
02:15:25,400 --> 02:15:27,400
I asked him if he knew, and he just shook his head.

2259
02:15:27,400 --> 02:15:29,400
We don't know, even if it's Miles Smith,

2260
02:15:29,400 --> 02:15:32,400
obviously a very serious injury.

2261
02:15:32,400 --> 02:15:34,400
Let's hope the young man is all right.

2262
02:15:34,400 --> 02:15:36,400
You know, it almost had to be on the play of the players

2263
02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:37,400
when he caught the pass,

2264
02:15:37,400 --> 02:15:39,400
because nobody hit him out there when he was running the ball.

2265
02:15:39,400 --> 02:15:44,400
He seemed to collapse.

2266
02:15:44,400 --> 02:15:46,400
Gordon to the left side.

2267
02:15:46,400 --> 02:15:48,400
Douglas, get him back to me.

2268
02:15:48,400 --> 02:15:51,400
He's running that clock out,

2269
02:15:51,400 --> 02:15:53,400
and he moves into the 38-yard line,

2270
02:15:53,400 --> 02:15:58,400
and the Lions will utilize their timeout again to stop the clock.

2271
02:15:58,400 --> 02:15:59,400
Although the clock has stopped now,

2272
02:15:59,400 --> 02:16:00,400
they're evidently out of timeout,

2273
02:16:00,400 --> 02:16:04,400
although the board chose to, but they are out of time.

2274
02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:06,400
They are out of timeout.

2275
02:16:06,400 --> 02:16:10,400
So the Bears now will just kill as much of it as they can,

2276
02:16:10,400 --> 02:16:13,400
and they are going to take all the time they possibly can.

2277
02:16:13,400 --> 02:16:15,400
Twenty-five seconds, and the clock is moving.

2278
02:16:15,400 --> 02:16:17,400
The Lions are out of timeout.

2279
02:16:17,400 --> 02:16:19,400
Chicago will be four and two.

2280
02:16:19,400 --> 02:16:21,400
The Lions will be four and two.

2281
02:16:21,400 --> 02:16:23,400
Minnesota four and one, the conference,

2282
02:16:23,400 --> 02:16:30,400
depending upon the outcome of that game tomorrow night.

2283
02:16:30,400 --> 02:16:32,400
Well, there's the quarterback's feet again,

2284
02:16:32,400 --> 02:16:33,400
and time will run out now.

2285
02:16:33,400 --> 02:16:35,400
They'll never get another play on the left.

2286
02:16:35,400 --> 02:16:36,400
Clock is moving.

2287
02:16:36,400 --> 02:16:38,400
Three seconds, two seconds, one second,

2288
02:16:38,400 --> 02:16:40,400
and there is the gun.

2289
02:16:40,400 --> 02:16:45,400
And the final score, the Chicago Bears 28 to the Tribe Lions 23.

2290
02:16:45,400 --> 02:17:05,400
There's the game.
