On Sunday, December 15, 1974, the New York Jets faced the Baltimore Colts at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore for a week 14 of the 1974 NFL season.
The Jets were coached by Charlie Winner, who had taken over for Weeb U-Bank after he moved to the front office following the 1973 season.
U-Bank resigned from GM halfway through the season, however, after starting off with a 1-7 record.
That lit a fire under the team, and they entered this game on a five-game win streak.
The Colts were coached by Joe Thomas, who had taken over for Howard Schellenberger after an 0-3 start.
But the team was still abysmal, entering this game with a 2-11 record, which continued their seller-dweller status after having won just four games in 1973, following the loss of Johnny Unitus.
This audio recording is from the Jets Radio broadcast, featuring an outter Marty Glickman and Dave Herman.
From Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, NFL football as the New York Jets meet the Baltimore Colts.
Good afternoon, everybody. This is Marty Glickman, welcoming you to our coverage of today's game on the New York Jets Radio Network.
The New York Jets have won the toss, and with the good field conditions today, they've elected to receive.
A couple of lineup changes involving the New York Jets.
Jamie Rivers will not be starting at middle linebacker Al Atkinson-Will.
Emerson Buza, nor Hank Bichalklin will start at running back.
They have sprained ankles, and Mike Adlerley will be starting at running back alongside of John Riggins.
We also expect that Clarence Jazz Jackson, the rookie from Western Kentucky, will also be in the lineup.
While we have a moment or two, there's been a great deal of talk from last week to now about whether or not Joe will be with the ball club next year.
And Dave Herman, who broke the story last week on the free game show, when Joe said he did not think he'd be back with the Jets next year,
Dave, I wonder whether you've heard anything differently between now and last week.
Well, I haven't heard anything differently, Marty, but I think, really, that I think Joe will be back next year.
I think there's going to be a financial decision he has to make, and I think the owners of the New York Jets are going to make that decision for him.
They're going to give him what he needs to come back and play.
And I say this for a lot of reasons.
Number one, they have a great combination going out there now.
They're on a six-game winning streak, and if they win the day, it'll be a six-game winning streak, that they will have won the last six games.
Not only that, the New York Jets, you have to remember, cannot play any exhibition games at home.
And so their big attraction to get exhibition games, where a lot of money is being made, is because they have a Joe name.
People will give them a game in another state, in Princeton, in Dallas, or in New England Patriots, or something like that.
They will want to play the New York Jets because Joe is there.
So I don't think that he will get out of New York.
Well, next year or not, Joe is starting his quarterback of course today, and we'll be back.
The game today is starting about one hour later than usual.
Consequently, we have scored some other ballparks throughout the country.
In the second quarter, Washington leads Chicago 7-0.
Also in the second period, Philadelphia leads Detroit 14-0.
Atlanta, Auburn, Green Bay in the second period, 10-0.
And listen to this one.
In the second quarter, New England, 21, Miami, nothing.
And of course, we were bringing you scores all afternoon long.
Here we're just about set for the start of things.
In Baltimore, the official four-ball game today, the referee is Fred Swearingen.
The umpire is Tony Sacco, the head linesman, Jerry Bergman, the line judge is Ralph Mandenburg.
The back judge is Gene Barth, and the field judge is Frank Kirkland.
The New York Jets won the toss, as we said.
They are receiving at the closed end of the stadium.
And the Baltimore Colts in their blue jerseys with white helmets, white pants, and blue trim,
are ready to kick off to do the kicking, is Tony Linhot.
Three-year veteran, he played no collegiate ball here in America.
He was plucked out of Vienna, Austria.
Soccer-style kicker, of course, Tony Linhot, 5'11", 178.
Where's number two? He's teed up the football at the 35-yard line.
Luke Bacone in deep safety at the six-yard line, ready to receive the kickoff.
Here we go.
Linhot moves forward and boosts that ball high in the air, not too deep.
Bacone waiting near the 12-yard line, gets it.
Starts up along the left side of the 20, hits down at the 25-yard line.
A high-hard tackle by Tuck Tim Berra.
Tim Berra, Berra, B-E-R-R-A. That's right.
Yogi Berra's son, 5'11", 185", number 84, Tim Berra,
made the tackle at the 25-yard line, a 13-yard return.
So it's first from 10 for the New York Jets.
The ball is on there. 25-yard line. Here we go.
They go to the line of skimmage.
Bacone splits about eight yards to the left side.
David Knight blank wide to the right side.
Rich casters the tight left end.
The running backs, as we said, are Wiggins and Adam Lee.
Nameth under the center.
Now Bacone goes in alongside his tackle.
Nameth back to pass on first down.
Seth Sestheff throws deep down to the right side to David Knight.
He's got it for 45-yard line, and he's not got about at the 46.
On the very first play, a deep side-long pattern
thrown to David Knight, a cordon on the run-long side,
and he was not got about immediately.
It'll be first from 10 at the 46-yard line.
The Jets that time, the offensive line gave Joe plenty of time to throw to football,
and that's going to be a big key out here
as far as the Jets are going to, how the outcome of the game is going to be
if they can pass the tech for Joe, because you know Joe can split this.
Baltimore Colt came apart with his passing.
21 yards on the last play before Rick Volk knocked him out of bounds.
It's first from 10 at the 46-yard line.
Split left end, David Knight, blanking on the right side.
Pevellymark on the play as Wiggins takes the ball,
drives off right tackle, he goes for nine yards
before he's held up right and then finally toppled.
Close to the 45-yard line at the Baltimore Colt,
Pevellymark went down just as soon as the play began.
We'll wait and see what the Colt is offside,
called against the Colts, and the Jets will refuse that penalty.
Nine yards on the last play, and John Riggins really powered off tackle,
and the Jets are starting real sharp.
They're at the 45-yard line at the Baltimore Colt,
and the penalty is refused.
That's certainly one of the keys to this New York Jets upsurge,
is John Riggins, the way he'd been playing fullback the last few weeks,
and he's been playing with a bandit out there.
He's run, but he's got all the tools anyhow, Marty.
He can do it all.
He's got the great size and the great power and the great speed.
6-2, 235 pounds.
John Riggins, he runs like a bull.
A split left end, flanking to the right side, split about three yards,
running back to Adam Lee.
Now going back to pass, his name is setting up,
throws deep down to the left side, way down for David Knight,
and it's incomplete.
Knight tried to reach over the hands,
and the man got him on the play, Nelson Muncie.
He tried to reach over the hands and had a Muncie at the ten-yard line,
failed to hold on to the ball because Muncie was right there in front of him,
and the ball fell incomplete as Joe was going for all the marbles on that long, long pass.
Well, he had second and won at the 45.
He figures to pick up the first down right now.
They're at the 45 of the Baltimore Colt.
It was a great job by David Knight, seeing he couldn't catch the ball.
He tried to catch it with keeping the interceptor from getting the ball.
It was a good job by a receiver.
If they can't catch the ball, they have to keep the ball from being intercepted.
Now David Knight goes out of the ballgame,
and he's replaced in there by Willie Brister.
It's a tight T formation.
Signals are being called.
Third and won at the 45-yard line.
Of course, the rick is running off right tackle.
He drives forward and goes for the first down, picks up two yards.
He was hit back of the line of skimage, but he bounced off.
Bounced off, Fred took the defensive end,
and smashed ahead for two yards, and the first down.
The ball is down to the 43-yard line of the Baltimore Colts.
A good effort by Big John Riggins.
Tom McCloud, defensive left linebacker,
made the play at the 43-yard line of the Baltimore Colts,
where it's first and 10 for the New York Jets.
No score on the football game.
Just a minute gone in this first quarter.
A regular pro set.
Knight flank wide out to the right side,
Barker split wide left, running back to Riggins and Adam Lane.
Signals called by Namath, takes the snap,
up straight back, penalty marker on the play.
He throws down the middle, and it's caught by Richard Castor
with the 32-yard line.
He's down immediately to the 32.
He's got a first down for the Jets, but a penalty marker was thrown down.
And I think we're going to see the Baltimore Colts offside again.
The defensive end are lining up offside, and they're calling.
They call them a second time now.
The first time was line up offside.
This time the offside penalty is because they're lining up offside.
And that is exactly the call.
Play is good for 11 yards and a first down.
Namath thus far is 2 for 3.
He started this drive back at the 25-yard line of the Jets.
Now he's down to the 32 of the Baltimore Colts.
The Jets look sharp.
Barker splits wide out to the right side.
David Knight flanks wide out to the left side.
Eye formation in the backfield.
Little like Adam Lee, he's 5'9", goes 193 pounds at full, at half back,
playing in front of John Riggins in the eye formation.
Now they shift out of the eye on the pro set, the backs of side by side.
Namath takes the snap, drops straight back.
Those are quick square outs to the left side tonight.
Knight runs out of bounds at about the 24.
Play is good for 8 yards.
It'll be second and two out of the 24-yard line.
He was forced out of bounds on the left side by Nelson Munson.
It's amazing, Marty, how Joe can just take his time and pick out his receivers.
More than one guy has opened on every particular play,
and Joe just having a field day out there hitting the open guys.
It's amazing that the Jets are operating so well,
but they're looking as good now as they have in any of the past weeks.
Say, Dave, would you believe this score in the second period? New England, 24, Miami, nothing.
Marty, I don't believe it. I just don't believe it can happen that way.
Well, that's the way it is right now,
because the game is meaningless as far as Miami is concerned.
Second and two at the 24 on the Baltimore Coast.
No score in this football game.
Opening minutes to play. Riggins trying an ensuit, tries to drive off.
He's top back there, comes around to the left side, and he's got blockers.
He has one man to beat. Downfield he goes to the 20-yard line on the outside of the 15.
Still running down to the 10-yard line.
What a run by John Riggins. He started wide around his own right end.
It was blocked up there.
He turned and came around his left end and ran down to the 10-yard line,
where Bruce Laird finally pulled him down.
A run of 15 yards, he must have run 50 yards on the play.
Marty and him, when Bruce Laird got a hold of him,
John Riggins actually pulled him along the ground for five or six yards.
He actually pulled him along the ground.
That's that great power to John Riggins who's got.
It's first and goal-a-go.
The nose of the football is on the 10-yard line.
It means it's first and goal at the 10.
David Knight flank wide out to the right side.
He's covered out there by Ray Oldham.
The rest of the ball club is tight.
Signal's called by Nameth.
First and goal of the 10. He fakes the handoff, looks downfield,
throws into the right corner to Riggins.
Too high.
A tough pass for Riggins to try to catch.
The ball was coming from directly behind him,
he had a look directly back running.
He reached up with his right hand, deflected the ball momentarily
in the right corner of the end zone, and it fell in complete.
That's what he had to catch to make.
And we're going to see that play again because Riggins was wide open
and Joe put the ball exactly where it belonged.
John just didn't hang on to it.
Didn't get the handoff of the football, but he was wide open.
We should see that play again.
Eddie Bill comes into the lineup now, replacing David Knight.
It's Flankaback and Bill goes into the slot to the left side.
Barcum is split wide to the left side.
And Rich Caster is split wide to the right side.
It's a slot left with a tight end caster,
split out about 12 yards to the right.
Second and goal-a-go at the 10. Nameth back to pass.
He throws out to the left, let us croak by Annaly.
He goes to the goal line, penalty marker,
and he's dropped at the one-yard line.
A penalty marker, let's see what the call is.
Interference is called.
It looks like interference called against the Baltimore Coast.
That was the signal from the headlines, and Eddie Bell made the grab.
Interference called.
Now now he signals against the New York Jets.
Eddie Bell was interfering.
The first signal was pointed towards the coast.
No question about it.
The second signal is called against Eddie Bell of the Jets
as he points the other way.
Eddie Bell was in the slot position that time, Marty,
and they're calling him for pushing off.
And what pushing off means when the receiver goes down there,
gets the defender in front of him,
he actually takes his hands and pushes away from him
to keep the defender from getting too close.
They call him for pushing off.
Second and 25 back at the 25-yard line.
David Knight comes back into the lineup, replacing Eddie Bell.
Eddie has to be a little bit embarrassed by that one.
It would have been second and goal at the one,
but now it's second and 25 at the 25.
Castor split very wide to the right side.
Slant formation of the left side.
Nameth under the center.
A long count.
Offside.
Now, penalty mark is all over the field.
Nameth throws deep in in the end zone of Barca.
Touchdown!
Gee, Barca makes the grab.
Seven yards in the end zone.
The offside is called against the Baltimore coast.
Nameth went right ahead against the...
despite the penalty mark is being thrown all over the field.
And Gee, Barca ran a down and in pattern, a post to the inside.
He was split wide left.
And he just angles to the right,
beat his man handily, Bruce Ladd,
and Joe just hit him right in the numbers.
And Joe had all day to throw that football that time.
Marty, he had great pass, takes from that off-end team line.
What at the start of the year was one of the bad cards
in New York, Jets is now their finest, the off-end team line.
Jets leads six to nothing as a result of the 75 yards.
Drive is the point after a 10th coming up right now.
Pat Lady kick it, it's up, and it is good. It's good.
The score of New York Jets 7, the Baltimore coast, nothing.
Let's take a 60-second jet break for this announcement.
My dear is Reingold the dry deer.
Think of Reingold whenever you buy beer.
In 1958, Reingold won the gold medals
of the last European World's Fair in Brussels.
And at the International Exposition in Munich.
The Lord Mayor of Munich had this to say
when he presented the gold medal to Reingold.
As a beer lover and a canister, I say without doubt
that Reingold extra dry is one of the finest beers in the world.
Reingold is proud to say that ever since then,
Reingold is producing the same gold medal-winning Reingold beer
in the very same way, using the very same ingredients,
the world's best quality hot beer.
The best quality hops, corn and malt that money can buy.
And even more important, the very same brew masters
are actually still at Reingold,
brewing the award-winning Reingold beer.
Won't you try extra dry Reingold beer?
Reingold Brewery's Incorporated, Brooklyn, New York.
Pat Leahy, ready to boot the football for the New York Jets.
Cotton, Spira and Bruce Latter ready to receive that kickoff
back around their own five-yard line.
Leahy angles back slightly, soccer style, number five raises his hand.
He's kicking towards the open end of Memorial Stadium
down here at Baltimore, and boots that ball high in the way up there,
coming down to Cotton, Spira at the 11-yard line.
He up to the 20-25 along the left side of the 30s, 35,
and down to the 40-yard line.
Nice run back by Cotton, Spira, the former Texas star,
tackle made by John Little.
And we have little Mike Adelmey out there.
He's playing regular setback for the Jets on offense.
He's also out there covering his special teams like always.
He'll be the captain of his special team.
Little Mike Adelmey throwing himself in front of that wedge.
He's little in height only, big in heart and big in body.
He's 5'9", 193 pounds, built like a blacksmith from the waist up.
First and 10 out, the 40-yard line.
Here's a power eye formation.
Man in motion comes to the right side.
That's Freddie Scott, quarterback is Berth Jones.
Now Scott sets to the right side, eye formation to the backfield.
Jones a swing pass to the right, to Lightdale Mitchell,
hit back of the line of skimage, he drives forward for 2,
and that's all he gets, he doesn't get any yardage.
He caught it at the 35-yard line,
drove up to the 37, Berth Jones came in and read the play for a 3-yard loss.
It'll be 2nd and 13 at the 37 out the Baltimore coast.
A swing pass out to the right flat, back of the line of skimage,
and Berth Jones diagnosed the play perfectly.
It's 2nd and 13 at the 37 out, the Jets going to a 3-man front,
the smicing goes to the sideline,
4 line backers are in, it's a 3-4-4 defense.
A regular pro set this time, Jones takes it,
and hands off to Olds, Olds trying to swing around his own right leg,
and makes the turn, drives up field and goes for good yardage.
Up to the 45-yard line, he picks up 8 yards,
where Roscoe Ward drives him out of bounds.
He made a good play around Richard Neal,
playing defensive right end, they cut him down,
and Billy Olds ran for 8 yards.
It'll be 3rd and 5th at the 45 yard line.
The last time the Baltimore coast met the New York Jets,
their running game is what won the ball game for them.
They ran some well, Lydell Mitchell had such a great day,
setting a record for a carried number, carried by a Baltimore coast,
the Jets are going to have to shut the running game off
to keep in and keep to win this football game.
Yes, the coast won the ball game 35-20,
I believe Mitchell ran 40 times during the afternoon.
Again in motion to the right side comes Freddie Scott,
now he sets out to the right, 3rd and 5th at the 45.
Going back to passes, Bert Jones setting up,
throws down the middle, and it's caught a beautiful catch
at the far side by Ray Chester,
and Chester has the first down at the New York Jets 46 yard line.
That pass by Jones was very low.
He had a reach down right off his ankle
to pull it down while running at top speed,
and he was tackle on the play after he made that grab by Steve Rees.
And as we said Marty, they're going to use this tight end,
they're going to use Ray Chester a lot,
they're going to start throwing the football to him
because not only does he catch it well, he runs well when he gets it.
It's first and 10 at the 46 yard line of the New York Jets,
and now the Baltimore Colts are coming back
just the way the New York Jets started off at the start of the ball game.
The Jets are leading 7-0.
The Jets on defense, the Colts,
Bert Jones takes the hand off, back to pass, sets up,
rush, throws out to the left, he's in the center of the way of the New York Jets.
And the Eversole lies in the long right side pass,
this field down at the 40 yard line,
cuts back to the 30 yard line and finally drops at about the 25.
John Eversole, as Bert Jones was passing,
he was hit, the pass wobbled crazily short,
and Eversole was there.
And Marty, that was all made possible by the great pass rush
of Carl Barzellas, and Carl Barzellas has got a great pass rush
and knocked the ball 3-4 for Eversole intercept.
And time is called, the score, the New York Jets 7,
the Baltimore Colts nothing, we'll take a 60 second jet break for this announcement.
You know what Dave Herman, I'm Marty Gleckman speaking to you
from Memorial Stadium in Baltimore where the New York Jets
lead the Baltimore Colts by a score of 7-0.
Less than 5 minutes are gone in this first quarter of play.
The Colts amount of the drive, but Eversole's interception
as a result of Barzellas' great rush,
puts the Jets in scoring position again,
first and 10 on the Colts 26 yard line,
slot formation of the right side, split left end,
back to pass, his name is throws down the middle and deep,
knocked down instead of a barcum at the 7 yard line,
it was knocked down at the last moment,
barcum leaping high on the air for that,
and once again, John Naiman stepping into the pocket
had good pass protection, a little less time
than on that touchdown pass to barcum,
but he stepped up into the pocket and was able to get rid of that ball.
So it'll be second and 10 at the 26 yard line,
Rick Voak leaping at the last time with barcum, knocked the ball aside.
The New York Jets offensively have Naiman at the quarterback,
Mulligan's and Adam Lee are the running backs,
David Knight at flanker, the ends of barcum and caster,
the tackles, woods and hill, the guards are Rasmussen and Pets,
the center is Wayne Mulligan, again they go on to that passing formation,
which they use most of the time, a slot left and a split right end,
it's second and 10 at the 26, they don't necessarily have to pass from this,
but now Naiman goes straight back, sets up, throws out to the right,
and it's caught, short yardage, Adam Lee has it,
drives down to about the 13 yard line, 13 yards on the play,
and a first down, Adam Lee going out of the backfield, circling over the backfield,
and Tom McCloud and Mike Curtis line backers combined to stop Mike Adam Lee,
circling out of the backfield, went down those 13 yards and button hooked,
and as he turned, there it was, right there.
And the Baltimore Colts are using that 3-4 defense,
and 3-4 being a 3 down defensive line and 4 linebackers,
to try and slow Joe's passing down.
Not very effectively though, Joe has thrown eight times,
completed five for eight for 78 yards, and a touchdown already,
again the same passing formation though they can run from it,
slot left, split right end, is casted back to pass,
Naiman throws out to the left flat, it's caught by any fell,
and he's not got a bound in around the eight and nine yard line.
Picks up five yards on the play, Bruce Slade, number 40, drove him out of bounds,
ball placed down just inside, just about the nine yard line,
he picked up four yards on the play, it's second and sixth at the nine.
Once again, David Knight comes jogging into the lineup, replacing Eddie Bell,
who just made that last grab, and Joe is now six for nine.
Jets are leading by a score of seven, and I think there are nine minutes
and 47 seconds remaining in his first quarter,
dominated thus far by the New York Jets.
Now the slot formation goes to the right side,
and cast is splits wide to the left side,
cast are now being covered by Muncie,
second and sixth, now for nine, back to pass, over to the right flat,
a pass thrown too low for David Knight incomplete.
That time, Joe was rushed, got rid of the pass in a hurry,
it was thrown incomplete to the right flat at the five yard line,
and ten of a day with Knight, Knight tried to scoop it up,
that would have been a trap anyhow, incomplete pass for the Jets.
The ball and the court are trying to blitz from that three man rush,
now to try and hurry Joe up to make him throw off balance a bit,
and that time he wasn't rushed that much, just made a bad throw,
he made a low throw, otherwise it would have been completed.
Third and sixth at the nine yard line, we can anticipate a field goal attempt,
I expect in case they don't make the oddage,
it's third and sixth at the coach nine,
it's a flankety formation this time, on the flankest night,
the rest of the ball club is tight,
Namath hands up to Riggins, Riggins trying to swing wide,
is driven back, tries to turn the other way again,
he's run all the way back to the 22 yard line,
but his forward progress stops ten yards up further with the 12,
and here comes the field goal kicking team on the field now.
And he had all the ball and were called almost five or six guys
before he finally went down,
Riggins started around the right end on that power sweep,
and wanted to cut back the same play he made before,
but he didn't get the cut back made.
Joe Ammon and Stan White throw him down,
ball is at the 13 yard line, where his fourth and tenth are 13.
A 30 yard attempt coming up now from the 20 yard line,
means it's a 30 yard attempt, Greg Gantt will hold,
Pat Leahy will try, the Angles to the left, the ball is snapped,
kick this up, high enough, deep enough, and it's no good,
it's wide to the left, wide to the left,
time is out, the score of the New York Jets, seven of them all,
the ball goes nothing, left crowd to the side,
it's incomplete, intended for Freddie Scott,
who was set out to the right side as a flanker,
the pass was thrown poorly behind him,
he just got a hand up and deflected the pass,
so it'll be second and ten at the 20 yard line.
Here's the Colt offensive unit,
Bert Jones, third year man, is the quarterback,
a Rangie 6-3-2-0-5 out of LSU,
he's the son of Dub Jones,
the former great halfback for the Cleveland Browns
of many years ago, Bill Owls and Lydell Mitchell,
the running backs, and Freddie Scott as a flanker,
Roger Carr back, a hand off to Billy Owls
and a quick drive up, the middle goes for one yard,
that's all up to the 21 yard line,
and he stopped on the play as Billy Owls is tackled by Richard Neal,
up front Roger Carr and Ray Chester on the ends,
Carr is a rookie from Louisiana Tech,
Freddie Scott the other wide receivers also a rookie from Amherst,
the tackles are David Taylor and Dennis Nelson,
the guards are Glenn Restler, the 11 year veteran and Elmer Collette,
and the center is Kent Mendenhall,
no relation to John of the Giants.
It's third and nine at the 21 yard line
and Bert Jones looking for a yardage here,
is in a pro set, flank out of the right,
left end he goes straight back to pass, setting up now,
now he throws, angry deep to the right side,
and it's incomplete, it's ruled incomplete,
he caught it, but he caught it out of bounds
on a deep sideline pattern,
Freddie Scott making the grab a pretty catch,
he dove for the ball, but when he came down he was out of bounds,
he made a great catch, but when he did come down,
he jumped for the ball, so he could not drag his toes inside
on a field of play, when receiver catches the ball,
he asked him down with both feet in bounds,
that time his feet when he came down were out of bounds,
well the New York Jets lead by a score of seven to nothing,
eight minutes and 14 seconds remain in this first quarter,
it's fourth and nine for the course on there 21,
David Lee a 10 year veteran,
and punt formation now he's a rangey 6'4 back on his own six yard line,
Roscoe Ward in single safety for the New York Jets,
Lee standing on a six, waiting to snap from center,
wears number 49, still waiting, now he gets it, moves forward,
and gets the kick away, it's a pretty kick,
a high twisting spiral, and Ward gets it as his own 45 stars,
who's left, gets one block and he's fall down at the 48 yard line.
Roscoe Ward shows all kinds of courage on those plays,
and time is called to score, the New York Jets seven,
the ball about course nothing,
we'll take a 60 second jet break for this announcement.
Ladies and gentlemen, the fight of the century,
the champion, Don Scope,
playing here with a sticker price from only 25.85,
excluding speed and local passes,
destination and deal of perfection on Jets,
in the other corner,
Colts much counted, high price, the total, there's the bell.
The cars are out of their corners, Colts opponent throws the first punch,
front is great, but Colts got those, standard two,
the Colts getting mad, here's another jab by Colts opponent,
the economy, but Colts respond with great gas mileage,
now Dodge Colts is throwing the punches,
ooh, there's an inside hood release,
a four speed transmission, and a lineup of six models,
Colts opponent can't take it.
The decision is unanimous, Don Scope, the winner,
and champion, Price Fighters.

With Dave Herman, I'm Marty Glickman,
speaking to you from Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
Midway through this first quarter of play with New York Jets,
lead the Baltimore Colts, seven to nothing,
and the Baltimore first and 10 on their 49-yard line.
Again, the passing formation, slot formation, right split left end,
cast a split wide to the left.
Nameth takes the handoff, back to pass, sets up, plenty of time,
now he throws down the middle and deep,
caught by David, then it was 30, the 25-yard line,
he cuts back to the right, and down at the 17-yard line.
Along the left side, David Knight, twisting and turning,
he caught a bullet.
When he turned to catch that pass, there it was,
he was really surprised, you could see him suddenly
fling his hands up almost in protection,
because that pass was coming like a bullet right to him,
and there it was, he grabbed it with those great hands of his,
first and 10 for the New York Jets at the 17-yard line,
a 35-yard pass play.
Joe might have throw that ball, he might throw that ball
for 25 yards and that ball didn't vary one inch,
you went like a bullet, and you said David Knight
protect himself, I think that's what he was doing.
They would have hit him right in the mask.
Eddie Bell comes in now, flank wide to the right side,
replacing David Knight, split wide left as G. Bargham,
first and 10 at the 17-yard line, name of the call signals,
takes the snap. Hands up to Adam Lee on a draw play,
he gets away from one man, goes to the line,
skimmers drive forward, picks up a couple of yards
for the 15-yard line. Adam Lee driving hard,
pulled down on the play by Dan Dickle, a linebacker,
it'll be second and eight at the 15-yard line
of the Baltimore Culls.
At that time the Baltimore Culls just guessed right, Marty,
because they had an intact ball game, that meant the tackle,
one-way defense men looked around behind him,
and they met the draw play right there at the hole,
just a good guessing game for the Culls.
David Knight comes back into the lineup, replacing Eddie Bell,
it's second and eight at the 15-yard line
of the Baltimore Culls, the Jets are out in front
by a score of 7-0. I haven't seen Joe Namath look
sharper this year. Through one, poor pass,
when he was semi-rushed, slot formation
on the left side, split right end, Richard Castor,
second and eight on the 15, back to pass,
name of the game, throws to the left side, and it's time
to score again by David Knight to the 10-yard line,
he picks up five yards on the play.
David Knight making a lot of good grabs,
leaving high on the air that time,
closely covered by Stan White,
that linebacker who a year ago, it was,
who bruised Joe so severely that Joe was out most of the season.
You mentioned that Joe, you haven't seen Joe throw better,
well, neither have the coaches, talking to the coaches
on the way down here, it was a loose week
because it was the last week of the season,
and they're doing so well that Jets had a loose week of practice,
and they said themselves that they'd never seen Joe
look any better. He is really sharp,
he's throwing bullets out there now,
third and three at the 10-yard line,
out of the Baltimore Colts, a regular pro set this time,
Knight has flanked wide right,
Barkham has split about six yards to the left side,
the running backs remain Adam Lee and Riggins,
the handoff goes to Adam Lee,
and then Sweeby drives off, Tackle drives through to the eight-yard line,
he does not make the first now, he needed three,
and he picked up one or two yards on the play,
and it looks like another field goal attempt coming up.
Adam Lee picked up only a yard on the play down to the nine-yard line,
so it's fourth and two-th ninth line,
Tom McCloud, a linebacker led the defensive charge,
and once again, Pat Leahy will try a field goal,
this time from some 26 yards out.
Mike Adam Lee was a bit too far behind his running guard,
both guards pulled on that particular play,
and had Adam Lee been right behind him,
I think he would have popped that thing.
Make this a 27-yard attempt,
Leahy will try it, slight angle to the left,
open end, the snap, kick is up, high enough and deep enough,
and this one is good, and a penalty marker is down.
A penalty marker is thrown down, let's see what the call is.
And it's apparently against the Jets.
Tripping is called against, of all things,
tripping is called against the Jets.
A personal foul, tripping against the Jets,
I've never seen that call on a field goal attempt before.
I've never seen a call, but I know where it came from.
When you line up for a field goal,
you have two guys on the flanker, each guy on the flanker,
and there's two guys rush these individuals,
and they have to have a bounce technique,
or somehow they have to block two people.
A lot of times they do trip, and they got caught at it.
I've never seen that call in that situation.
I've seen it in open field play, of course, many times,
tripping, but it's really unusual,
and the off-stickers brought out, wait a second.
They still haven't marked off yardage,
and the Jets have not gone back, it may have been two off-setting penalties.
Let's see what the call is going to be, they haven't done anything yet.
Now they're marking off yardage, five, ten.
Let's see what this call is here.
Signal again from the official,
a personal file is being signaled now, and it's tripping.
Ten yards, but why the ten yard?
I don't understand that, unless it's new.
37-yard field goal attempt coming up now.
Holding is 10 yards this year, there's no tripping loss.
Okay, 37-yard field goal attempt,
Wallace now plays down the boot, it's partially blocked,
it goes down to the goal line,
near the goal line, it's rolling around at the top,
the goal line is rolling around at the two,
and it's rolling dead at the two-yard line,
touchdown, and it's like a punt, that's where the ball is,
that's where it's going to be at the two-yard line.
It was touched down by the Jets while still in play,
but they're bringing it back because of the new rule this year,
right back to the spot of the previous down.
It didn't cross the goal line, the ball was blown dead,
and it had been touched down by either club before the ball was blown dead,
or it would have been there, but it was blown dead first,
and then touched, so the ball comes out to the spot of the previous down.
Oh well.
Still 7-nothing.
It was Bailey who blocked that field goal attempt,
first to center the 20-yard line for the ball of our coach,
5.5 minutes to go in the first quarter, the Jets are leading 7-nothing.
It's Cole's ball.
Pitch out wide to the left side to Mitchell,
Mitchell hit back at the line, his game was a jump for a loss.
Held up right by John Ebersole,
Ebersole saw that play, he was in the backfield,
just about as quickly as that pulling guard was.
And Martin had great pursuit by Ebersole,
made the play, he made the force force him back inside,
and a great pursuit of the New York Jets caught up with it.
He was surrounded by 4-5 would-be tacklers.
A 2-yard loss for the Baltimore Colts in the last play of 2nd and 12th after the 18-yard line.
The New York Jets have had 3 opportunities to score,
have scored on only one of those 3 opportunities,
on the 25-yard touchdown pass from Nameth to Barkham.
A flank of T-formation on the left side,
man in motion comes back to the right side,
dropping back to pass as Jones looking to set up,
being rushed far, throws a screen to the left,
put by Mitchell to the 20, up to the 25, he's got blockers,
along the far side line he's running about,
at about the 30-yard line.
The play is good for not quite a first down,
about a yard shy of the first down,
Lydell Mitchell carrying it for something 11 yards,
and John Ebersole forced him out about just short of the 30-yard line.
They place it down at the 29, so it's 3rd and 1,
at the 29-yard line.
Mitchell came into the ball game today with 59 pass receptions,
he leads the league in that category,
that was his 60th of the season.
Having quite a year, John Andrews comes in at the full back now,
replacing Billy Old, so it's Mitchell and Andrews in the backfield,
Scott split wide out to the right side, the rest of the ball club is tied,
it's 3rd and 1,
he's got a defensive practice solid, up the middle comes Andrews,
he scrambles forward, and he may or may not have made it,
let's see, looks as though he did.
The Jets came up with a football,
but after the whistle sounded, it's first down for the Baltimore Colts,
just over the 30-yard line of the Colts.
Andrews carried it in, fumbled after he was down,
ball placed down at the 31,
picked up 2 on the play, makes it worse than 10 now,
at the 31-yard line of the Baltimore Colts,
the Jets leading the game 7-0,
they've dominated this first quarter of play,
yet they only have one score,
they had three attempts deep in cold territory,
cash in on only the first attempt.
Split left end is Roger Carr,
flanker wide to the right side now is Freddie Scott,
first from 10 at the 31,
back to pass, Jones making a hand up,
throws down the middle, and it's put by Ray Simpson,
back to 25 of the Jets, he went down to the 42,
and he's pulled down there by Al Atkinson,
a beautiful pass, a bullet,
thrown by Bird Jones,
and Ray Chester going deep downfield,
turned and butt-hooked back,
caught it, drove downfield to the 42 of the New York Jets,
where it's first in 10 at the 42 of the Jets,
27 yards on the play,
first in 10 at the 42 of the New York Jets,
all is midway between the sidelines,
power-eye formation,
and the power-eye is Freddie Scott,
comes over as a flanker to the right side,
so it winds up a regular pro set,
the running backs are old, and Mitchell,
Bird Jones takes it, hands off to Mitchell,
a power sweep around his own right end,
he makes the turn, drives downfield,
inside the 40, knocked out a bounce
in about the 38 yard line,
picks up four yards on the play,
Al Atkinson driving him out of bounds,
Atkinson playing middle linebacker
in place of Jamie Ribbons,
it'll be second and sixth at the 38
yard line, and it's threatening,
two minutes and 59 seconds to go in his first quarter.
The Baltimore Colts are looking pretty well
on offense, had it not been for their intercepted pass,
they look pretty well in the first series,
now this series they certainly look good,
they're moving the football down the field,
it's second and sixth at the 38 yard line
of the Jets, the Jets lead 7-0,
Roger Koss splits wide out to the left side,
man in motion comes to the right,
Freddie Scott usually sets to the right,
now he is set out there,
and he's in front of Mitchell,
signals call ahead off the hole,
he drives up the middle, goes for five yards
before he stops, from the
38 yard line down to the 33 yard line,
Richard Neal leading the defensive charge,
also helping out on the play is still wide,
down to the 33 makes it third and one
at the 33 yard line,
and they may measure on this one,
it's very close to the first down,
no they don't, third and one at the 33,
New York Jets leading 7-0,
their score came on a
25-yard pass from Nameth to Baccom,
the first time they had the ball
they drove 75 yards for the score,
and so many times you see a blocked field goal
turn the momentum against the football team,
like it has happened here,
the blocked field goal that the coach blocked
had given the coach momentum, added momentum
to get the score, short yardage formation,
the flank on the right side, the rest of the ball
club is tight, the Jets defense
panked in solidly third and one at the 33,
they hand off Koss's holes, he stops,
pull down and he may not have made it,
he has a line of skimmers, but then he squirms free
and drove up until Barzalazkas held him,
and now it is the first down,
he was stopped originally,
but he kept his drive, Billy Olds did,
circled to his right a couple yards
and then drove forward for the yard
necessary for the first down of the 32,
so it's first and 10 at the 32
of the New York Jets,
the coach started this drive on their
20-yard line, then out of the Jets
32-yard line,
Berth Jones running the ball club,
263, 205 pound quarterback
wears number 7,
split left-handers Roger Carr,
now Scott comes over to the right side
and sets right, so it's a regular
pro set, back to passes
Jones on first down, throws over the middle
of the left side, it's crossed by Mitchell,
Mitchell a loose one man at the 25,
drives down to the 21,
stops at the 21-yard line, 11 yards
on the play at a first down,
Al Atkinson and Roscoe Ward
combine to stop him, at pass
and then out of the 21
for Lydell Mitchell,
first and 10 at the 21 of the New York Jets,
John Everso had him there, John Everso had him
after a 5-yard game as soon as he caught the ball
Everso hit him, but every head is head down
when you're tackling, when a football player
makes a tackle out there, he's got to keep his head up,
if you drop your head you have a chance of missing,
that's what happens to John Everso.
Well it's first and 10 out of the
21-yard line of the ball of the New York Jets,
the ball of McCollum's in possession of this ball,
threatening the New York Jets,
and then the first Jones takes it,
hands off to Olds, Olds trying to circle
his left, and he drives down field, picks up
good yards, maybe 5 yards on the play
before Roscoe Ward can cut him down,
he's inside the 20,
think of about 4 on the last play,
let's see where they place it in bounds,
place it down close to the 17-yard line,
4 yards makes it 2nd and 6th at the 17,
Billy Olds, a rugged full bag
at 6'1", 224 pounds,
Lydell Mitchell is 5'11",
204 pounds, he's a 4-year veteran
on a 10-state,
Mitchell having a fine year
for the Baltimore Colts, one of the few,
Roger Koss, that's wide
to the left side, and again
coming in motion to the right is
Freddie Scott, those two are rookies,
the two wide receivers, 2nd and 6th
at the 17-yard line, a quick pitch over
the middle called by Ray Chester,
he's down to the 10-yard line and he's knocked down
by now, Mackensen, that time
Bird Jones just raised up,
through to the tight end, Ray Chester
just a little toss about 4 yards down
as the 1st quarter comes to an end
and when the 2nd quarter starts
it will be 1st and go-to-go at the 10.
With Dave Herman and I, Marty Glickman speaking to you
from Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland
where the New York Jets are leading the Baltimore Colts
by a score of 7-0 going into
the 2nd quarter of play,
Colts have the ball, 1st and go-to-go
at the 10-yard line, and the Colts are moving
now, Marty, it's up to the Jets to shut them down,
if the Colts get a score here, they're going to make
a real tough football game out of this.
OK, the Jets have 3 chances to score,
1 resulted in a miss field goal,
the 2nd resulted in a block field goal.
Now it's 1st and go-to-go
at the 10-yard line for the Baltimore Colts,
they shift to a regular pro set,
Bird Jones under the center and calling signals.
Takes the snap, goes back to pass on 1st down,
goes over to the left side,
hits the 6-yard line by Mitchell,
and he's down immediately by John Eversole.
Eversole made the hit,
immediately a 4-yard game,
it will be 2nd and go-to-go at the 6-yard line,
7-for-10 for Bird Jones thus far today,
he has a hot hand passing,
the ball is very close to the 5-yard line,
we'll call it 2nd and go-to-go at the 5.
I think they'll be changing that coverage,
and the Jets have been trying to cover Mitchell with Eversole,
I think they'll be changing that coverage
to put somebody else on him,
because they've been very effective hitting Mitchell
out there in the left flat.
2nd goal-to-go at the 5-yard line,
Roger Colts puts wide to the left,
and again they go into the pro set,
they're running back to Olds and Mitchell,
and the Jets have got a lot of chest here,
signal is called by Jones, he takes it,
looks down, feels throws over the middle of the clock,
right in the line, incomplete.
It looks like maybe big Barzo,
Barzalowskas on Neal,
I think Barzalowskas knocked that pass down
as it was being angled to the right side,
intended for Freddie Scott,
so it'll be 3rd and go-to-go at the 5-yard line,
is a critical play in this ball game right now,
it was big Barzo they knocked the ball down,
and that's a big target to throw over,
big Barzo Laskins in 6-foot, 6-foot,
that's a lot of man to throw over,
and you can't throw around him either, he's that wide.
3rd and go-to-go at the 5-yard line,
John McCauley is in it running back now,
3rd and goal at the 5,
back to passes Jones, setting up now,
throws over the middle, touchdown!
Lydell Mitchell makes the grab
right in front of John Eversall,
Lydell Mitchell catches another one,
he caught it right at the goal line,
as John Eversall was reaching over his shoulders,
he's not going away,
the ball was by, and it was a gut,
off Mitchell for the score,
it's 7-6, an 80-yard drive
by the Baltimore Colts,
and they didn't change their coverage fast enough
because Lydell Mitchell was covered that time,
man on man, by John Eversall.
Tony Lidhaunt will try the point after touchdown,
soccer style, number 2,
signal's called, the ball is snapped,
placed down and bowed it's up, and it is,
it's good, it's through there,
the score, the New York Jets 7,
the Baltimore Colts 7,
Tony Lidhaunt has
cheered up the football, this ball game is tied
at 7-7, Lou Pecone waiting
back at his own four-yard line,
he's the deep man,
signal's,
Lidhaunt indicating
both sides,
is right and left already, and now he starts forward
at an angle, a boot that ball, soccer style,
and he kicks it high in the air, very high,
Pecone gets it at the 14-yard line,
starts it along the left at the 20-25,
the 30 breaks down at the critical home, the 40,
the way comes back, let's pass the field,
he's down at the 48-yard line,
last man, Bill Owls, now Joe Ortonia,
Joe Ortonia made the tackle,
a reserve back, a former giant,
made the tackle at the 48-yard line,
a 38-yard return,
and that can set fire to the New York Jets,
that's fire and return
by Lou Pecone, and that's what they needed,
Marty, they needed a good return like that to get the Jets
in good field position, Lou Pecone almost
broke that one all the way,
the first in Tannat, the 48-yard line
at the Baltimore Colts, again,
their passing formation is slut right,
and a split left in, cast a split left,
signal is called by Nameth, he takes the hand,
he's back to pass, and he's hit down a fumble
of loose ball, hit down hard,
by the defense in white linebacker,
Dan Sickle,
Sickle came in untouched,
and for a moment I had visions of a year ago
when another linebacker, Stan White,
came in untouched
and hit Joe and knocked him out for most of the season.
It was just fortunate that Joe saw him coming
because he didn't have no reason to look over here,
there was a blown assignment out there
by somebody because both backs went to the left
and the tight end released off the line
is just letting that linebacker come free.
A ten-yard loss on the play,
second and 20,
on the New York Jets, 42-yard line.
It's only the 18th time
that Joe has been sacked this year
the lowest in the National Football League,
second and 20 at the 42.
High formation in the backfield
again that passing formation
for the wide receivers.
Name us back to pass.
Throw Steve, deep down to the right side to Barkham.
Barkham grabs it!
Barkham has the ball at the 13-18 yard line
a first-round.
Barkham with another remarkable grab
and Ray Oldham was the man wrestling
with Barkham for the ball,
but G Barkham is developing
quite a wrestler.
He wrestled balls away from opponents
he did last weekend,
and the previous Big G
is 6'4",
212 pounds,
Ray Oldham is 6'2",
and G Barkham is just too tough for him.
A great job of catching the ball by G Barkham.
He reminded you of last week in the games
touchdown winning catch that he made in the mud,
but that time Joe was really hit by Joe
Irmond. The Colts are starting to
put a pass right here on Joe.
The play was good for 45 yards
and the Jets threatened again.
First and 10 on the 18-yard line of the Colts.
A regular pro set this time
Rickens and Adam Lee are the running backs.
No, they go into the passing formation.
Slot left, split right end.
Signal is called by Namib. He's back to pass again,
throws out to the left side, incomplete.
Joe threw poorly that time
and he's unhappy with that last throw.
His head is down, hands on hips as he
stomps back to the huddle.
Intended out to the left side to G Barkham
but the pass is thrown poorly about 5 yards
in front of Barkham, so it's second
and 10 at the 18-yard line.
Ball and Colts
are shifting defenses.
They're shooting the gap
and they're changing up
on almost every play on defense
to make it that much tougher
for Namib and the New York Jets.
It's second and 10 at the 18-yard line.
Again, the passing formation.
Two men wide left, one man
wide right, back to pass as Namib.
Throws out to the left flat.
It's caught by Barkham. Barkham near the
10-yard line tries to elude. Two men
is full of progress. Stop at the
10-yard line as he hits back close to the 14.
Picks up 8 yards on the play,
makes it third and 2.
The ball is at the 10-yard line
off the Baltimore Colts.
Muncie and Dickle combine to stop him.
Are they using a 3-man rush in there?
Yeah, they've been using a 3-man rush
ever since Joe started hurting them
early in the football game. But off that
3-man rush, they're blitzing. They're blitzing almost every down.
They're coming with one linebacker or another.
Every down they're coming with somebody to try
and confuse him and to confuse his
offensive pass protection. Short yarder situation
with three running backs of Riggins,
Adam Lee and Burns. It's a straight
T. The straight T formation.
Three men across the bar of the T.
Third and two at the 10.
Will Joe go forth?
With a runner or a pass?
It looks like an offside against the Colts. It is offside.
Riggins drives off right tackle. He picks up a
yard or two, but it doesn't matter because
the Colts were offside. It'll be a first down
called for the New York Jets.
First and goal to go with the five yard line.
Stan White, the linebacker,
looking to shoot the gap to blitz
was across the line of scammers before
that ball was snapped. And the auto
just being mocked off now. It'll be first
and goal to go. The ball just short of the
five yard line. It's a good job at the center out there.
Mulligan, when Mulligan sees somebody jump off
sides of the Baltimore Colts, he snaps the ball
as soon as he sees somebody jump offside.
He doesn't have to wait until the snap count comes
as long as he can get the Baltimore Colts offside
he's going to take him. The score is tied
seven and seven. 11 minutes and
26 seconds remain in this first half.
The Jets are threatening the score again
first and goal to go at the
five yard line.
Knight and Barclam split wide to the left side.
Rich cast a flank wide right.
Riggins and Adam Lee are the
running backs, Nameth calling signals.
As motion
called against David Knight. Riggins carries
the ball around the left end. It drives for a yard.
But David Knight was in
motion before that ball was snapped. We saw
the ball take one hesitant step forward.
The penalty markers are thrown and it'll be
first and goal to go at the ten yard line.
Curtis and White
knock Riggins out of bounds on the far side
but of course the Colts will accept that penalty.
It'll be first and goal to go at the ten yard line
and this is the second time that
penalties have hurt the Jets when they're deep
in cold territory.
On that particular play it was unnecessary for
David Knight to go offside because he wasn't
really involved that much in the play. The running play
was Riggins carrying the football and every
time they'd like to have a wide receiver
he'd forget this snap count to wait until the ball
is snapped before he moves.
Well it's first and goal at just short of
the ten yard line. The tail of the football
resting up a hash mark on the left of the
eleven yard line. Now it's that passing
formation as Eddie Bell is in the slot to the
left side. Barkham is on the outside to the
left and Caster's flank wide right.
It's first and goal at the ten.
Nameth got straight back to pass. Sets up
into the pocket, throws over the middle.
It's probably about the eight yard line. Hit down
Barkham from his wide formation left came over
the middle and Mike Curtis came
smashing it and knocked him down.
They placed the ball down at the eight yard
line. Play is good for only two yards so
it's second and goal to go at the eight.
And now Eddie Bell goes out of the line up
and David Knight comes back in so Knight
is a wide receiver along with G.
Barkham and they usually
put wide left or right on the same
side. A good job of coverage in that last
play by the Baltimore Coles because Joe had
to go short.
He had to go short. The pass right was breaking
down at the time. He had to go short
to Barkham. Second and goal to go at the
eight yard line and Knight
and Barkham a split wide left
Caster flank wide right.
Back to pass.
Penley markers on the play. Looks like
offside called. Adam Lee takes the drives
down to the one yard line and he's dropped
at the one off right tackle. Penley
markers are down. Looks like the coast may
have been offside. Offside is called
against the coast. And I think it's close
to be a first down as well.
Let's see where it is. No it was
first and goal to go at the five yard line at the
outset. No it's no first down.
It may be.
I think they're going to refuse that penalty
because of it. They would bring it down to the
four yard line but right now they're at the one
yard line. It'll be third and goal at the one
and that's a good job of heads up football
by little Mike Adam Lee. The Baltimore
Coles solid plays going sort of relaxed and
Mike Adam Lee almost got a touchdown.
He went right down to the one. Joe Namath
says it's a good job of heads up football
and it'll either be second and goal at the
four or third and goal at the one.
Tough call right here. I would say the tough
call because if they don't take the penalty
they're going to lose it down. If they do
take the penalty they're going to keep down
the same. Well they refuse the penalty Namath
refused the penalty and the ball is inside
the one yard hash mark at the right
side. The tail of the football is at the
one yard line so they have two feet
to go with third and go to go
about two feet
Burns Adam Lee and Wrigans are the running
backs. There are three full backs in there right
now and Dave Herman
points to John Wrigans name on our spotting
shot as if to say Wrigans is going to
carry it. Well let's see third and goal to go at
the one. Sickle's called it goes to Wrigans
he goes over and in touchdown
nice call David
he drove off right
God and hurtled his way in
he wasn't going to be stopped that time. Nobody
is more pleased about John Wrigans and Coach
Charlie winner. Coach Charlie winner thinks John Wrigans
is playing the kind of football
that he knows John Wrigans can play. John Wrigans
is a super football player
13 to 7 the New York Jets
lead the Baltimore Colts now with 10-23
to go on this first half point after
10 coming up the driving in or they drove
into the closed end of Memorial Stadium
it's a horseshoe stadium
wide open on one side
all closed in on the other
Sickle's called a ball to snap place down and kick this up and
it's through that
and the score of the New York Jets 14
the Baltimore Colts 7 Mr.
New York Jets now kicking off
to either Cotton Spira or Bruce Ladd
standing back on their 5 yard line there's Leigh
he's kicked high in the air and fairly short
coming down to Spira at the
10 yard line he comes up along the left side of the 20
25 along the left dodges two men it goes over
the 30 yard line to about the 32
where he's knocked down hard
right down at the bottom of the pile you might expect
Mike Adamlee and Phil Wise
Emerson Boozer and Hank Bajoran who were hurt last week
are not playing thus far today
a momentary altercation out there
between Phil Wise and one of the Baltimore Colts
ball is placed out at the 31 yard line
and it'll be first and 10 for the Colts there
first and 10 on there 31
with the New York Jets leading
14 to 7 there are 10 minutes
and 14 seconds remaining in this first half
the Colts break the huddle and come to the line of skimmich
car splits wide out to the left side
they line up on a power eye
but Freddie Scott the flanker
back usually goes in motion now he goes in motion
to the right side stays in motion to pitch out wide right to Mitchell
trying to circle the right end tries to make the turn
drives up Phil picks up the artist cut back
he got about 8 yards on the play before he's dropped
at the 39 yard line
Richard Neal made the tackle line Del Mitchell
caring boy he's a tough half back to handle
he is a tough guy to handle
PD Salve made a great play out there
the power sweep was coming out there with blockers ahead
of Ladi on Mitchell and PD Salve knocked him both down
but the thing was he didn't have a great pursuit that they've
been having in the first in the first quarter
they didn't have that great pursuit to make the play
picked up 9 yards Mitchell did on that last one
he now already has
5 catches today 5 pass receptions
for a total of 64
which is a new national football league
record for running backs
second and one at the 40 yard line
of the Baltimore Colts Mitchell goes in motion to the right
side the handoff goes to old old
drives at the middle picks up the first down and more
keeps driving and goes to 5 6 yards
before he's stopped up around the 46
47 yard line as Billy
Oles carried tackled by Phil wise
he made 7 on the play up to the 47 yard line
and its first and 10 at the 47
Billy Oles the fullback
Lidl Mitchell the half back
its first and 10 for the Baltimore Colts as they
trail the jets 14 to 7
now with 9 minutes remaining in this first half
and the Colts are making quite a football game out there
they're not giving up at all they're going right after
the New York Jets are running the football very well
again car a rookie splits
wide to the left side another rookie Scott
goes in motion on the right side then he sets
his flank a wide right running backs are Oles
and Mitchell quarterback first
Jones takes the snap top straight back goes a quick
square out to the right side and it's
incomplete in and out of the arms
of Lydell Mitchell that's no not Mitchell but
Freddie Scott Freddie Scott
was number 86 Mitchell number 26
a penalty marker thrown down at the same time
let's see what the call is it appears
I think caught Ralph Baker trying to
hold Raymond Chester coming off the line
Ralph being a strong at that time
with the strong side line back he plays
heads up on Raymond Chester the tight end
it looked like he held him coming off the line
it was holding called against Ralph
Baker an automatic first down at the
48 yard line of the New York Jets
so it's first and 10 at the 48
of New York Baltimore Colts in possession
with the Jets lead 14 to 7
both teams able
both teams able to move well against each other thus far
today again they're in the regular
pro set with Scott flank wide right
car split wide left the handoff goes to
Mitchell he drives up the middle spins forward
for two yards up to the midfield line
Mitchell spinning up the middle and Richard
Neal slicing in from end helped out by
Al Atkinson they combine to make the tackle
at the 45 yard line
of the New York Jets
three yards on the play it will be second
and seven at the 43 as long
as the New York Jets are only
seven points ahead the Baltimore Colts can
continue to run like that I'm sure that Jets
defense would like to see Joe put another
seven points on there again a 14 point league
and start forcing Bert Jones to throw the
football well now it's second and seven
at the 45 yard line
of the New York Jets again they're in
that pro set car wide left
Scott wide right back to passes
Jones setting up now throws hanging on the
left side knocked down with the ball
by Roscoe word is like Del Mitchell
what a play by Roscoe word
he timed it perfectly he could not
get in front of Mitchell who'd come around
the left side circling out of the back field
he could not get in front of Mitchell and knock
Mitchell away but he timed his
his jump right into Mitchell so
that when the ball got to Mitchell he got to
him also and not Mitchell and the ball
fly and that's that different past coverage
we were talking about saying it just had to
go into a different coverage and take
ever so often Mitchell one on one that
time Roscoe word stayed right there in
the short flat to take the pattern
it's third and seven at the 45 yard
line again the same pro set of passing
situation and Jones does go back to pass
that's up throws down the middle is
the air fill wise going after it
couldn't get to it because Burgess always
deflected that pass intended for Ray
Chester it was incomplete so it's 4th and 7
at the 45 yard line and as you point out
Dave the Colts don't seem to be
as effective with Bert Jones throwing
on almost every now no and that's what you
just want to do they want to get him in a position
where he has to throw the football because
he's not that good of a pass and they don't have that
great of a passing attack the great part
of their attack is throwing to the half back
coming out of the back field well it's 4th
the jet 45 and David lead up way back
in front formation back to his own
40 yard line Roscoe word
is back on his own 10 yard
line he's tricky back there
10 man front for the New York
jets looking to try to block this kick
apparently the 10 man on the line of scrimmage
and word as well back snap comes back
here's the kick and he just does get
away a perfect kick him over the near
side to Roscoe word right let's advance
it goes into the end zone for the touchback
at the half New England 24 Miami
17 at in the second quarter
giant 7 St. Louis
nothing jets ball
first and 10 at the 20 yard line
signals being called by John Namath he takes
his hands up to Rickens Rickens drives off right tackle
goes to the outside of the 25 to 30 yard line
along the near side he's knocked out about
that the 33 yard line a 13 yard
round of beauty off tackle smash
and Rickens that time was playing the half
back position the deep back in the eye
formation Adam Lee playing fullback and
and Marty they've been switching back and forth
game long one time John Rickens will be in
a normal fullback position next time he'll be
in the half back position the ball word
Colts are using that three man defensive
line again and Joe starting to start attacking
at the way he did then inside his offensive
tackle Rickens has carried six times for
36 yards thus far I make that to be
a six yard average first and 10 at the
33 yard line regular pro set for the jets
Namath back to pass setting up looks
downfield throws angling to the left
caught by Parker with a 39 yard line
knocked out about it's a 39 on a quick
square out to the left side number
88 Rich Caster of course he
picks up six yards on the play so it
will be second and four at the 39 yard
line of the New York Jets the Jets are
leading 14 to 7 with 7 and a half
minutes to go in his first half and as
long as Joe's past the tech can keep
holding up that way he can put Richard
Caster way out there as they split
split in and that's the luxury of having
good past taking outfit a good past
taking offensive line being able to
get your tight end way out in that
pattern and he fell as in replacing
David Knight he's flank wide right
rest of the ball club is tight eye
formation in the backfield ahead of
the rigors at half back he starts left
goes around the left side drives up
field goes past midfield picks up speed
down to the 40 yard line he's pulled
out the side at the 40 yard line a
remarkable run by John Riggins
he started up the middle of one
outside wide left cutback to the right
drove between tacklers and was finally
pinned at the 41 yard line where they
went off the ball and more cold he
picks up 20 yards on the play
another fine run
by John Riggins he's doing quite a
job Eddie Bell goes to the
sidelines now David Knight replaces
him and Knight flanks wide to the
right side G Barker split wide left
its first and ten at the 41 on the
Baltimore Coast the jets are leading
14 to 7 and the jets are driving
Namath back to pass setting up
throws Angling deep down to the right
side David Knight at the 20 yard line
a quick deep square out
thrown to David Knight
and Knight as he cut up field
along the side slipped out of bounds
else he might have been very old all the way
for the touchdown ball placed out of the
21 yard line a 20 yard pass play I got
to tell you Marty there everything is going
just right for the jets is best in this series
because that time the Baltimore Coast had
both linebaggers coming and Joe had
both is set back in there to block for it
so they're doing things just right
first and ten at the 21 yard line
the Baltimore Coast and the North
York Jets are leading by a score of 14 to 7
6 minutes and 42 seconds to go in this
first half a flank of T formation
Knight on the flank of the right side
the rest of the ball club is tight signals
called by Namath takes the snap hands
up to Adam Lee and he drives up right
tackle goes smashing forth at two yards
to the 19 yard line he tried to swing
outside at the last moment we stopped
by Tom McLeod it'll be second and
eight at the 19 of the Baltimore
Coast here's some more scores in the
second half to England 24 Miami
17 in the second period Cleveland
7 Houston 7 at the
half Washington 21 Chicago
Bears nothing it's second
and eight at the 19 yard line of the
Baltimore Coast the New York Jets leading
14 to 7 the jets going to a slot
formation of the left side and cast
her as a tight right end this time
let's see if he stays tight second and
eight at the 19 yard line signals called
up the middle goes John Ricketts he takes
the head off and drives forward right
four yards on the play tremendous
power by John Ricketts led up front by
Wayne Mulligan Gary Pets Winston Hill
and Randy Rasmussen you can see the
coat line driven back by the power
that front four as well as
the drive of John Ricketts and
the middle linebacker Mike Curtis was so eager to
blitz that he got up in the line is
grimaged and Joe saw his him missing from
his regular position so he attacked where he
wasn't and got good yardage picked
up four on the play makes the third and four
around the 15 yard line of the Baltimore
Coles a critical play coming up right now
slot formation left split right
and cast a split right to wide receivers
left bar come and
night signals called by name a third
and fourth the 15 back to pass the
name of those a quick scratch of the
left oh a quick pass into the end zone
and it's a penalty marker is thrown
down a penalty marker is thrown down
to see the call interference called
against the Coles it'll be first to go
the one yard line
bar come in a bid with
my Nelson Muncie
in the end zone
now the interference took place at the
two yard line that's where the interference
took place so it's first and go to go
at two and I tell you that's one
reason right there I can't believe Joe
and he was going anywhere to play football
except here because he has those great
receivers that time all he did was put
that ball real high on the air and he knew
he had the guy to get down there underneath
and he knew chief Arkham would catch a
football crowd of about I was just between
the two and I was just going to go
out nonhand here today
disappointing crowd for a city that has
such fine teams you know those
Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore
Coast are championship ball clubs that
have been and I guess if you don't want to
be done for me lately I suppose
first and go to go to the two and the crowd
is calling again now the teams are
lining up again name is calling
signals looking right and left
he may go this time take the step
just off the rig and drive to the goal
wing and start the cheering listen
jet fans have come down
from up around the New York metropolitan area
and those jet fans around Baltimore as well
and you can hear them yelling with
approving in the background and the jet
leads now 27th as
John Riggins goes in from
two yards out
27th here's the point after the step coming in right now
lay he to kick it, wreck Gant the
pundit to hold, Gant is not
pundit today
signals called
ball to snap place down and kick
the sub-band is through there
the score the New York Jets
21 the Baltimore Coast
7th, Timmy Berry gets the kick off
and drives up along the left sideline of the 27
yard line where he's stopped by the New York
Jets, Tim Berra
stopped by Mike Gattamley number
one again in on the tackle and helped out
Steve Brees to line back up the New York Jets
well it'll be first and
10th for the Baltimore Coast, the Baltimore
there 27 yard line, the New York Jets are out
front by a score of 21 to 7
and there are 4 minutes and 59 seconds
to go on this first half of play
Joe Namath is
really sharp thus far today
three long drives
by the New York Jets
engineered by Joe, he's 13
for 18 passing for
198 yards
first and 10th at the 27 back to passes
Bert Jones setting up a screen coming up
he throws over the middle and it's incomplete
intended for lying down Mitchell and a penalty marker as well
a penalty marker apparently against the
Coast
they're pointing to the Baltimore Coast
a penalty marker is thrown and it looks like
one of their offensive linemen was downfield
an ineligible pass receiver being downfield
when the ball is thrown all linemen
have to be on their own side of the lineman screen
there's the signal now
hands on head by referee Fred
firing and indicating ineligible
receiver downfield
first and 10 and
they may have just may look to refuse
the penalty let's see if they do
they're talking now with
Ralph Baker
defensive captain
now the Jets are going to take the penalty
and they bring it back 15 yards
back to the 13 yard line
so it's first and 25
after 13 yard line
this is a situation that all defensive people
like having to be on the head on 14
points have them in the hole right now
they're going to have to throw the football
they know what all they got to do is rush the pass
and now they don't have to worry about the runs that much
it's first and 25 after 13 yard line
Baltimore Coast
huddled up around their own 5
the Jets are out front by 14 points
there are 4 minutes and 54 seconds to go in this first half
Roger Koss
the left side
another rookie flank wide to the right side
they're running back to Mitchell and Olds
signals called
back to his own 3 yard line
standing there now he throws short
deflected high in the air and caught on the fly
Burgess Owens has it in the 20
the 15th along the near side
touchdown
Burgess Owens goes in for the score
the pass was deflected by
another Jets by Ralph Baker
and Burgess Owens caught on the fly
angled to his right
drove along the sideline
the Jets have run off the bench to congratulate Burgess Owens
Owens has the touchdown
for the New York Jets are now lead
27-7
and the guy out there the farthest with Joe
actually on the field with his cape
congratulating the defense
as Joe out there walking back to the sideline
now
this great big green cape
this helmet in hand on the play
it looks like Freddie Scott may have been
fired and he's being helped to the sideline
but here's the point after coming up
for the 28th point for the New York Jets
just as you said where the defense likes to get the offense
deep in their own territory and it's paid off
that time David
here's the point after attempt to kick now by Lehi
he's up and it's good
the score the New York Jets 28
the Baltimore Colts 7
Tim Berra the Baltimore Colts running it back
from the 5 yard line up to the 30 yard line
of the Baltimore Colts Tim Berra
a rookie for the Colts
probably his dad is listening
or watching the ball game today
Yogi Berra of course
back on the playmate by Bill Ferguson
and Phil Wise
and it's first and 10 for the Baltimore Colts
who trail the New York Jets
28-7 now with 4.5 minutes remaining
in this first half
first Joe almost has to pass
on almost every down
he's also trailing 28-7
and Joe does go back
goes a quick pitch over the middle
and he's down to the 5-1-1 left side
he may have another 14 yard line
I was about to say he may have another touchdown
but he was tackled with a 14 yard line
by Glenn Ressler
the offensive guard
Ralph Baker half back extraordinary
extraordinary speed
I thought Baker was going to go into the end zone like he did last week
but he didn't have quite the help
he had the same speed as he had last week
but he didn't have quite the help
and it's always somebody was responsible for that
that time Ed Gallagher put the great rush
and he jumped over the top of his man
and put a great rush into quarterback
New York Jets threatening once more
his first and 10 at the 15 yard line
of the Baltimore Colts
there are 4 minutes and 7 seconds to go
on his first half which may be the longest
first half of the year thus far
first and 10 at the 15 yard line
the signal is called by Joe Nameth
flanker wide to the right side
is David Knight Adam Layton Jackson
of the running backs now
Riggins being given a breather
and that's all no gain at all on the play
as jazz Jackson running the ball
is snapped on an end sweep
by Tom McCloud and Mike Curtis
the two linebackers though a second and 10 at the 15 yard line
Eddie Belkins into the lineup
replacing David Knight
I didn't see John Riggins hurt
or he damaged in any way it may be
that Jackson is being given
an opportunity now with the Jets so far ahead
and being with the question market
whether Joe's coming back or not
but I would like to see how Woodall come in here
to the left side of the yard jet
he may in the second half
Nameth is still in there second and 10 at the 15 yard line
the regular pro set
Barker to split wide right
Eddie Bell split wide left and Nameth
goes back to pass looking for Belle deep in the left corner of the end zone
too long incomplete
incomplete coming on the play
by Nelson Muncie
so it's going to be third and 10
at the 15 yard line
New York Jets out in front by a score of
28 to 7 here comes David Knight once again
racing Eddie Bell
pass over thrown just a bit
by Joe Willie
he's thrown 19 times
for a total of 198 yards
completed 13 of 19
one touchdown as far
two by Riggins and one by Burgess
I want to tell him in the set
third and 10 at the 15 yard line as the Jets lead 28 to 7
back to pass again as Nameth
setting up being rushed hard
way back
and Nameth flat on his back
throws the ball high in the air
while flat on his back he's unhappy with the call
he was rushed by Jerry Dutton
and Joe Amit
and he's thrown back at the 28 yard line
a long lost 13 yards
on the play field goal attempt coming up
I think what perhaps what Joe's discussing about
he didn't read that with when it came because the Baltimore Colts
had three linebackers coming
all at once and an all out quit
four defensive linemen and three linebackers
putting the pressure on Joe
44 43 yards
field goal attempt coming up now
43 yards by Pat Leahy
the Jets leading
28 to 7
43 yards
the ball is snapped placed on a kick
it's a spiral and it goes over the end zone
incomplete
and the ball by Pat Leahy
he kicked a perfect spiral a low line drive
just the way Nameth might throw the ball
and that would answer the question
of why the New York Jets don't go for field
goals all the time when it looks like
there's an obvious field goal range
because it is not within his range to kick
a 43 yard field goal
with all the passing of this first half
and all the altercations on the field
from the stands
the fans interrupting play
this first half has now taken an hour and a half
about 25 minutes
longer than a half usually takes
and there is still 2 minutes and 54 seconds to go
there's a lot of time left in his first half
28 to 7 the New York Jets
lead the Baltimore Coast
the ball is at the 27 yard line
first and 10 for the Colts
man in motion goes to the right side
that's Glenn Dowdy number 35 back to passes
Perth Jones setting up
throwing down the middle and it's caught
at the 40 yard line a good catch
as Roscoe word grabs Roger Carr
he made a motion cause Roscoe word
but Carr made the grab
Carr is a rookie as we said
and he's a good one he's 6'3 200 pounds
out of Louisiana Tech
and that's his 17th catch of the season
moves the ball up to the 42 yard line
a 15 yard game
and it's first and 10 at the 42
regarding to the score Marty there's an awful lot of effort going on out there
there's a lot of near altercation
a lot of near fights but this shows
there's a lot of good valid hitting out there
New York Jets are leading 28 to 7
coming close to the 2 minute mark on the first half
it's first and 10 at the 42
as Perth Jones calls signals he drops straight back
to pass setting up now
being rushed hard and thrown for a loss
Richard Neal gets home a long loss
back to the 30 yard line
a 12 yard loss
the Colts have the ball on their 30 yard line
second and 22
as Richard Neal just jumped Perth Jones
for a 12 yard loss
now the Colts come to the line
a skimmish car a split wide to the left side
a dowdy flank wide right
the running backs are Andrews and Mitchell
second and 22 signals being called by
Perth Jones takes it
drops straight back looking down
throws over the middle caught by Ray Chester
with a 35 yard line he busts off
two tacklers goes to the 45
nice play as he picks up 15 yards
and Virgil Sohans finally hauls him down
at the 44 yard line as he picks up 14 yards
it's third and eight at the 44 yard line
and Ray Chester's just as big
and strong and tough as ever
and again Richard Neal getting a strong pass
over there number 64 David Taylor
their left tackler Richard Neal getting strong
pass and most of this first half
well it's third and eight at the 44 yard line
time is running
122 to go in this first half
slump formation of the left side
going in motion of the right is Glenn Dowdy
and back to passes Jones setting up
looks down, feels out to the left flat
it's dropped dropped by Don McCauley
coming out of the backfield swinging out to the left side
as John Eversole covered
I think McCauley sort of took his eyes off
the ball just before it got to him
he thought he was wide open
and he started running the football before
actually caught it
David Lee comes into the lineup once again
there's been no punt thus far
for the New York Jets in the first half
Greg Gantt has not been
called upon a punt at all because the jet
offense has been moving the ball all day
Lee back to punt for the third time
he's back on his own 30 yard line
Roscoe Ward back on his own 15 yard line
ready for the snap from center
10 men on the line of skimmage for the Jets
looking to block the punt and they almost do
penalty marker running into the kicker by McCauley
Ward takes it at the nine yard line
twists and dodge
he's down at the 11 yard line
but the punt will be nullified
as the Baltimore Colts
kicker David Lee was running to
not hard
but he's still by Lou Picone
the Colts will keep the football
it's a tough penalty
but it's a warranted penalty
because that punter is totally
unprotected when he's kicking that ball
and it's quite a ridiculous penalty too
Marty because there's absolutely no reason to go back
there and hit the punter
especially after he's kicked the football
there's no reason to at all
first and 10 at the 49 yard line
of the Baltimore Colts
the Colts are trailing the Jets 28 to 7
and the first half
back to passes Jones setting up
throws down the middle too high
almost intercepted by Phil Wise
deflected by Roger Carl the intended receiver
deflected sufficiently that Wise
had his timing thrown off
and couldn't quite grab that ball
so it'll be second and 10 at the 49 yard line
with exactly 60 seconds remaining
in this first half of the New York Jets
well ahead 28 to 7
if the Jets win it
they'll wind up the season 7 and 7
and down 1 and 7
and if the Jets keep getting the pass right
like they've been getting they're going to win it
there's no question about it because
that time the 3 or 4 guys came
Richard Neil came, Barzalowski came
and Gallagher came from the other side
singles are being called by Jones
a lot of men at the line of skimmers
you have 6 men at the line of skimmers right now
for the New York Jets
now Jones goes back to pass
throws out to the left flat is caught by Mitchell
that's the midfield line he loses one man
and the Jets light dealt Mitchell making the grab
another catch by him Roscoe Ward
made the tackle on the player
now the ball of course
called for a timeout with 47 seconds remaining
Mitchell was hit down
inbound by Roscoe Ward
at the near sideline
and they have 2 timeouts left to them
and the way he's been catching footballs out here
and that's left flat you know he's got to be driving
John Eversall nut because John Eversall's
primarily responsible to cover him coming out of the backfield
and he not only has he driven
the rest of the weak linebackers in the league
he's really a great pass receiver
he's caught 65 so far this year
and as we said earlier that's a new record
for a running back of the National Football League
and with the type of speed he's got
it's easy to see why he gets open
when players resume it will be 3rd and 5th
out the 46 yard line
of the New York Jets
the Jets are out in front by a score of 28 to 7
3rd and 5th out the 46 yard line
slot formation on the left side
see where light dealt Mitchell is in the slot
he'll be going down as a pass receiver
now he goes
no man goes in motion on the right side
that's doubty back to pass
setting up a screen out to the left side
and it's caught by McCauley
McCauley's room down to the 40 yard line
drives down to the 35 still running
to the 33 yard line of the Jets
he's got a first down and the clock shows 36 seconds
and the clock has stopped
as time is cold again by the Baltimore Coast
Ed Gallagher made the tackle
they've got a first down
the ball is down to the 37 yard line
first and 10th at the 37 for the Baltimore Coast
out the New York Jets 37
and the coast once again have called for time
our half time guest
is going to be the ever popular Dick Shapp
the sports editor
of sports magazine
and the sports reporter for the national broadcasting
company as well
ever popular Dick Shapp you know the Baltimore Coast
can get a score here and they're going to
receive the opening kickoff
to start the second half again
and they could come back in the 28 to 7
deficit and make a football game out of it
if they get the score right here and there are only
36 seconds remaining in this first half
there's only one timeout left now to the
Baltimore Coast
and they've got to get
these 37 yards and the next three or four plays
or else it's over for the half
and the Jets have gone back to the 4 defense
environment now they brought Schmijing back in
and took Steve Reed out of the ballgame
first and 10th at the 33 yard line
and now they're going to have to go back
to the 7-4 miss red the yard marker
first and 10th at the 33
flanker wide to the right side
Freddie Scott is back on the line up now
number 86
Roger Koss split wide left
Mitchell and McCauley on the running backs
signals being called by quarterback
Bert Jones he takes it off straight back
setting up big rush now
he starts to run pass the line of skirmish
down to the 25 yard line of the 20
and down he goes to the 20 yard line for
the 20 the clock is running
20 seconds to go and now time is called again
with the line of skirmish no huddle on the play
it's first and 10 at the 20
yard line the clock is running 15
seconds Jones back to pass looking to
throw deep throws to the left side
and it's
caught at the 9 yard line
and out of bounds immediately on the play
with Roger Karr the clock
is stopped with 9 seconds it's
first and goal at the 9 yard line
9 seconds to go
and they're going to go for a field
goal
why I don't understand that Marty
I think they need the 7 points a lot
worse than they need the 3
3 points got to leave my long way behind
but they're going to go and try and get the field goal
this is a great first half of football great effort
out there and everybody's part
it's taken one hour and 40 minutes
it usually takes an hour and 5 or an hour
and 10 it has been a bit long
we're going no place any hours
a chart of the airliner from eastern
airlines ready to take us back so what's
the hurry at the end of the season last play
was good for 26 yards no
and a 26 yard field goal attempt coming up
right now is the snap the
no it's a fake kick Marty
Dumres is hit down from behind
he throws and it's
incomplete Marty Dumres was hit
his helmet came smashing off
Carl Bartholaukis came from behind
two seconds to go in the half
it was a fake field goal attempt
Marty Dumres
the former Columbia quarterback
took the snap from center rolled out
to the right Bartholaukis hit
him from behind knocked off his head gear
and came loose with the head gear
and wait a second maybe
a penalty on that last play the ball is being
brought back don't know what
the call is here the jet defense
of you and there's still out there and
decapitation penalty it looked
that way for just a moment
maybe
I don't know what the signal is he just
indicates first down
and uh
I didn't
it was only first down that's why
he
the offensive team for the jets was
out there oh it was only
first down now let's see whether they try a
field goal attempt again they line up field
goal formation here's the kick by
linhardt it's up and this time it's
it's good it's good how about
that with time out at
the end of the first half
that's the end of a wild
first half of football the score
the new york jets
28 the baltimore colts
10 as you probably
heard in the background the booze
signal to return to the field of the new york
jets I wonder how the baltimore crowd
will be will greet the baltimore colts
the officials already around the field
here on the baltimore colts now
and they get no reaction
they get no reaction at all martin this should
be a closer football game by the
statistic than it actually is because
baltimore and the jet both have 15
first downs and the colts have had
the ball 40 offensive plays versus
35 the jets have 186 yards
passing for the baltimore colts
but there here comes joe with
248 yards passing
meanwhile riggins has carried the ball
nine times for 61 yards
in the first half and then he was relieved
for the closing minutes of the first half
and hopefully he'll get back in in the second half
the score 28 to 10
and 18 point lead I wonder
I just wonder if charlie winner will
start
here at the start of the second half but we won't get to see
until the jets get on the field but I would
think that maybe he would but then again
maybe that's back to joe coming back or not
coming back is played into charlie's mind and he's
going to let joe in there to complete the ball game
we'll have to wait and see the baltimore colts
will be receiving a kickoff to start the second
half both squads are on the field right now
they haven't taken the field yet for the start
of the second half and new york jets
received the opening kickoff
they wanted to us all the baltimore colts
have the option here at the start of the second half
and they obviously will elect
to receive as they trail in the ball game by
a score of 28 to 10
as we said earlier it's getting
quite dark here in baltimore most
everyplace else too at this hour
at four with the grey skies
overhead but this is
as of this moment the longest
first half of football we've broadcast
and seen this year and the official
nobody's more eager for the game to get started
than the official he's standing out there the 35
yard line has the ball in his hand but there's
no players around him players on the
left side on the baltimore colts of their blue
jerseys and white trim on the far side of
the new york jets and their road uniforms
of all whites with green trim
and they come jogging on the field now
I don't know what went on in the new york jet locker room
but charlie winter cannot cannot help but be very
very proud of his total effort to the
organizations effort the coaching staff and
certainly the players for putting together
this great winning streak of six games
that's right after the kind of start they had
one in seven you think that
they've finished pretty much the same way
but apparently the giant
overtime win gave them
the needed lift plus the fact
that the ball club really started to get together
after that and
with the new coaching staff
the new plays some of the new personnel
they began to play the kind of football
of together football watching him out here today
today marty there are much more confident
confident and aggressive football team
than I ever imagined possible
spirer and laird will receive the kickoff
as lehi boots that ball high
and deep right to the three yard line
taken by laird laird up the middle of the
20 to 25 keep stumbling
up to the 33 yard line where he's down
boy he came flying bruce laird
did right up the middle
young man out of
a school american
international which doesn't usually develop
nfl football players
now in his 40 year bruce laird
running up running with a band
and the ball plays down at the 32 yard line
so it'll be first in 10 at the 32
the new york jets out in front by a score of
28 to 10 and the ball and more
colts have the ball
first jones running the ball club for the ball and more colts
a regular pro set signals being called
at the 32 yard line
jones goes straight back to pass on first down
throws over the middle of court by laird laird
at the 36 yard line and he's pulled down there
and atkinson makes the tackle
at the 36 yard line
the players good for only four yards but it's another pass
completion for the record
breaking laird del michel
not too big it's 511
4 pounds now has
66 passes that he's caught this year
as we said earlier a new
record for running backs in the nfl
so it'll be second and sixth at the 36 yard line
ball no more colts in possession of the ball
jones the quarterback
michael and mccawley are the running backs
scott and car a pair of rookies
are the wide receivers
right chest of the veteran the tight end
slot formation of the left side
second and sixth at the 36 yard line
man in motion goes to the right side that's scott
going back to pass is jones
sets up throws a swing pass to the left side
oh it's cut to the side one man
at the 40 to 45 yard line
and down at the 48 yard line
he's got a first down
cutting back over the middle to his right
it's gallagher made the tackle
ball no more colts at the 48 yard line
of the colts good help with the backside
of the jet defense that time the ball throwing
this side the backside being baker and
gallagher that time john ever saw had a chance
to nail the ball carrier for no gain
but again he dropped his head right when he went
to make the impact and when you drop your head
you can't see where you're going john misty
ball no more colts break the huddle
and go to the line of scrimmage
flank a wide to the right side of spreading scott
split left end is roger car those are two rookies
and they could be real good ones in a couple
of years and a half to 40
back to pass again is jones setting up looks
now feel those deep down to the right side
way down and his grab by scott at the
15 knocked out of ours at the 13
yard line
just as we're saying they can be real
good ones ready scott grabs
a long one deep down the right
sideline richie style
trying to cover on the play
but ready scott had a
beat and bird jones
threw a beauty he caught
a good and then south reaching out
pushed him out of ours at the 13 yard
line with first from 10 for the colts
on the jet 13 that year went
by pretty fast might even have a fine catch
he made a real excellent catch but again
bird jones got good pass taken from his
offensive line and given time to throw
hell again scott goes
wide out to the right side called to the left side
that play was good for 39 yards
first and 10 out to 13
jones under the centerman calling signal
takes a snap again he's going to pass
over to the left it's complete to the
10 yard line and old hit down immediately
why del michel it was not old
like del michel made that grass
John ever so hit him cleaning that time
at the 10 yard line it'll be
second and seven after 10
bird jones throwing on virtually
every play on every play thus far
in the second half he's got to throw
Marty to get back in the football game
he's got to throw to win the football game
also and he got ever so it's got to feel
a little shocked out there because they're
close to time it's second
and seven after 10 yard line of the
New York Jets the Jets are leading 28 to 10
but the Colts are threatening they're
on a regular pro set high formation
in the backfield Mitchell the deep back
signals being called back to pass again
as jones setting up throws into the end
zone touchdown Ray
great system makes the grand in the end zone touchdown
in five plays
on five passes the Colts go
68 yards for the touchdown
and it's 28 16 is the point
after 10 by Tony lindard the ball to
snap plays down and kicked and it's through
there
time is out the score the New York Jets
28 the Baltimore Colts 17
28 to 17
the New York Jets leading by
11 points only
two and a half minutes gone in the
second half and the Colts have their
touchdown on that 68 yard drive
and the 10 yard touchdown
lindard kicking the ball high
and not too deep coming over to the
far side to the corner 20 yard line
he's up to the 30 to the left
up to the 35 still scrambles forward
to the 38 yard line on a good run back
tackle was made by Randy Hall
a cornerback for the
all the more cold
is first and 10 now for the New York Jets
and Joe Namath and Spank on the field
first and 10 at the 38 yard line
of the New York Jets
their leaders been cut to 11 points
David Knight splits wide out to the right
side G Parker flank wide left
Adam Lee and Riggins the regular starting
backfield for this game in there now
signals being called by Namath
offside told against the Baltimore Colts
Riggins takes the ball drives up field
it goes for about three yards and he's stuck
thrown back hard but the Baltimore Colts
jumped offside or so it seems
Bentley Mark offside and it's
indicated against the Baltimore Colts
so it'll be first and five at the 43 yard line
of the New York Jets
the Baltimore Colts certainly haven't stopped playing
this game of football today because they're just
as aggressive now as they were the first play of the game
the first play from scrimmage on the kickoff
they were scrapping trying to pull the ball away
from the new Pocone and that's how they threw
Riggins back very very hard
New York Jets going with Wayne Mulligan at the center
Hetz and Rasmus in the guard
Woods and Hill the tackles
Caster and Barkam Lee and Snipe the Flankerback
and as you know Namath
Adam Lee and Jackson in the backfield
first and five at the 43 yard line
of the New York Jets
the Jets leading twenty eleven to hand off to Riggins
he drives up right tackle being hit back hard
and he's stuck for no gain
he's run all the way back to the 30 yard line
but his forward progress is as the line is
scrimmage to 43
run back by Dan Dickey a linebacker
who led the defensive charge
and was out on the play by Rick Bull
it'll be second and five at the 43 yard line
of the New York Jets
and the Jets don't look as though they're ready to play football
here in the second half at least not yet
and it doesn't look like a defense certainly didn't look that good
and off-hand team yet to do anything at all
they've got five yard by way of
a penalty offside penalty but
their play from scrimmage aren't that good yet
and the Colts are out there really scrapping
second and five at the 43 yard line
of the New York Jets
Namath takes it top straight back
and sets up, throws deep to the left side
it's clocked by Namath at the 40 yard line
he drives to the 38 yard line where he's pinned
he found the seam in their zone defense
between the deep safety
and the cornerback
turned outside at the 38 yard line
at the left side line and caught that pass
and he slipped out from under
and it's first and 10 at the 38 yard line
a fine pass and catch
by Namath and Knight
though it's first and 10
at the 38 yard line of the Baltimore Coast
18 yards on that last play
that's the kind of a player that can bring the Jets back
and Miami is comforted behind to lead
New England now 34-27
in the fourth quarter
first and 10 at the 38 yard line
of the Baltimore Coast
Jets in possession of the ball
back to Flaskos Namath taking a handoff
throws deep down the middle
it's clocked by Castor in the spin
he goes to the goal line
passes by Joe Namath
the last one for 38 yards
and that's just what Namath can do
I can hear Dave Herman now
you can do
you can hear him say that's just what Joe Namath can do
two passes on one long pass
and the Jets have the TD
Marty you sit here and you can't hardly believe
that things like that can happen
here the Jets didn't look well at all
but one guy can bring the whole thing back
when he got in trouble he went to David Knight
and had about a 12-15 yard out
and when he needed a big play he went to Richard Caster
for the touchdown 38 yards
on the score of the Jets lead now 34-17
here's the point after a temp offside
the kick is wide it's no good to the left
but offside against the coast
and Pat Lay he will get another shot
Lay he hooked the ball
like you might hook a golf drive not a slice
but a hook he's a right footed kicker
coming in from the left side
and he hooked it wide to the left
offside on the play with Fred Cook
so the Jets have another chance
and Lay he in particular has another chance
on each point after so they're no longer automatic
Marty but that goal post
at the end of the end zone now they have to think about it
and that time he's got too much and hooked it
he hooked it to his left
well it's a 19 or 18 yard field goal attempt
coming up each time
and if there's a slight mistake there's that much more
margin for error 10 yards more
so they got a kickin pretty good
now he'll try it
again
at the 9 yard line
which makes it a 19 yard attempt
teams are lined up instead the score
is now 34-17 Jets
signals called
ball snap lay down and kick this up
and this one is through there
the score the New York Jets
35 Baltimore Colts 17

35 to 17
the New York Jets lead the Baltimore Colts
4.5 minutes
are gone in the second half
two touchdowns scored already
ready to kick off to either Cotton Spira
or Bruce Laird
Twin Safes back around the three
there's the kick high and fairly deep
coming down to the three yard line taken there by Laird
Angle to his left comes to the 20
goes along the sideline of the 25
and down to the 27-28 yard line
the score is 35-17 here
here's some other scores
there's the score
in the third quarter
Cleveland and Houston are tied
in the fourth quarter
Philadelphia 28
Detroit 17
another final score
Atlanta ten
Green Bay three
in the fourth quarter Miami which trailed
as I recall 24 to nothing
leads new england 34-27
at the half the giants 14
the St. Louis Cardinals nothing
first and ten for the
ball the more close the ball is on their twenty seven yard line they trail in
the ball game by a score of thirty five
to seventeen
man in motion goes to the right side of sreddy scott back to pass the swing
pass to the left side
a screen a quick screen to car
car coming back for it gets into the thirty and scrambles up to the thirty five
yard line
spills at the thirty five by john ever so
a great job out there but Richard Neil Richard Neil come from his
defense right in front
meld the play and got out there and got in the play that's quite tough for a
defensive end to get out in that screen like that
it's second and three at the thirty five yard line of the Baltimore Colts
the Colts going with Bill Olds and Lydell Mitchell the running backs Bert Jones the
quarterback
Freddy Scott the flanker Roger Carr the split end
the tight end is Ray Chester
they go to the line of skimmers they line up on a power eye formation but usually
Freddy Scott goes in motion to the side now he does go in motion number eighty six
and of course a lot of Mitchell a quick open the middle he drives the field past the forty
forty seven yard line
before he spilled down at the forty seven
tackle made by Phil Wise
man he picked up speed accelerated
right inside his right guard and went up the middle for a first down and more
to the forty seven yard line he picked up twelve yards and due to nature of the score
Marty being thirty five to seventeen the jets are playing pass every down and they're
susceptible to getting trapped and that's just what happened that time the left guard
pulled out and trapped big Carl Barzalazza
but they're going to get yards like that but they won't never win the football game
now running about running the ball well they trailed thirty five to seventeen is first
and ten at the forty seven yard line
slot formation of the left side eye formation in the backfield out of the slot and going
to the right
goes Freddy Scott back to pass a swing pass out to the right side to Mitchell
he's trying to get to the line of skimmers he's cut down on a beautiful open field tackle
by Burgess Owens
Owens one of the sharpest
sharpest tacklers
in the NFL
cutting down the very elusive Lydell Mitchell with a knee-high tackle
the line of skimmers with a forty six yard line for a one yard line a great job of tackling
out there a great job of reading his keys and getting out there in position to make
the tackle
the jets now keeping
Bert Jones and throwing that ball deep he's got to throw that ball deep if he wants to
have any chance of winning
jets have Gallagher and Neil at the defensive ends Barzalazza and slicing of the tackles
the linebackers of Baker at the center of the middle and Edisle at the sides
Sal and Ward are at the corners and Wise and Owens are the safeties
and the left side and again Scott goes in motion to the right
it's second eleven at the forty six
Jones back to pass throws out to the left left it's caught by Owens
inside of Edisle
Edisle pulls him down at the forty nine yard line it's only a three yard game
Billy Owens making the grab at the line of skimming in John Edisle coming up to make the tackle
makes it third and eight at the forty nine yard line of the Baltimore course
seven minutes and forty five seconds ago in this third quarter the jets are out in front by a score of
thirty five to seventeen a good job there by Edisle that time making the play making the tackle
on the swing man coming out of the backfield
now the jets go into that three down three down defensive linemen four linebackers
yes, schmicing goes out
and Reese comes in Reese the rookie linebacker
schmicing the newcomer
it's third and eight at the forty nine yard line
New York Jets leading thirty five to seventeen again Scott goes in motion to the right
again
Bert Jones back to pass being rushed throws down the middle
and it's caught by thirty five of the New York Jets
are pretty catch by Roger Carr
he goes deep down field and he cuts
parallel from the line of skimmers to his right
Roscoe Ward made the tackle at the thirty five of the New York Jets
a third and long situation
and they certainly completed it beautifully for sixteen yards in the first down
the jets had ever saw blitzing on that play and ever saw had he not been blitzing would have been back in that area
to cover in front of the receiver so that time the
Colts just guessed right
Bert Jones has a good afternoon thus far he's twenty four for thirty five
total of two hundred thirty six yards
first and ten at thirty five yard line wide open football here
again a slot formation left
and again in motion to the right side goes rookie Freddie Scott
and again Bert Jones for the swing pass the right side to Mitchell
Mitchell tries to cut inside of all of us grabs him again
Mitchell try to go outside the first time he caught that swing pass a couple of plays
ago
and Owens nailed him
this time he picked outside and cut back to the inside
and Owens nailed him again
at the thirty one yard line a four-yard game of the play makes it second and six
and Bert Jones has having a great afternoon as far as
completions go but not that good as far as yardies go because he's gone at twenty
five completed passes but he only has two hundred forty yards
that's not bad
but that's less than ten yards per catch
alright David
second and six at the thirty one yard line
again Scott goes in motion on the right side this time he's gonna set up there
which he does
eye formation on the backfield
and now Owens goes in front of Mitchell
now Owens comes in motion to pitch out to Mitchell trying to swing his own left hand
he's being chased back there and thrown for no game
Lydell Mitchell thrown on a good defensive play by Roscoe Ward
and John Ebersole Ebersole
forcing that play wide
so Roscoe Ward could come in and make the tackle
boy that word is gonna be one of the better cornerbacks of the national football league
he's a great one but I just like the way he plays the game of football he is a great one
he'll challenge and he does everything possible to make himself a better football player
and the receiver what's wrong with me
to go and ask another coach what's wrong with me he does everything in the world to make himself better
third and six at the thirty one yard line
up to the line of skimmage come the ball of our Colts
Billy Old rather than Don McCauley is in a fullback now replacing
Old
eye formation in the backfield
let's see whether the man goes in motion he does Scott goes in motion again
and back to passes Jones he takes a swing pass now he sets up
looks to throw a screen short screen on McCauley McCauley comes up the middle and goes for a short yard
it's up to about the line of skimmage and maybe one yard more
and that gets it tipped him up first
then he was pinned by John Ebersole and Roscoe Ward
at the thirty yard line the play picked up only one yard
it was a fake screen left fake screen right
and the screen over the middle screen over the middle a lot of times those plays will break but heads up
football by Al Ackerson that time
stopped the play from breaking for longer yardage Al actually fell down himself he slipped
in the mud there's a little bit of mud out there he slipped in the mud but he got a hand on him and brought him down
fourth and five out the thirty yard line and it looks as though the ball of our Colts are gonna go for it
fourth and five is the thirty of the New York Jets
the Colts are trailing thirty five to seventeen four minutes and five seconds ago on this third quarter
they're in a slot formation left
in the slot is Freddie Scott
and now he goes in motion to the right
fourth and five key play back to passes Jones setting up
penalty marker on the plate Jones is hit as he throws it's caught at the fifteen yard line
great system makes the grab at the fifties he's forced out of bounds
a penalty marker was thrown down what's the call
penalty marker we're calling into Jets offside
Ed Gallagher jumped before the ball was knocked over against the Jets and beat it by naturally because of the completed pass to Raymond Chester
it's first and ten
the ball is at the sixteen yard line of the New York Jets
and these four of our Colts keep coming back
here's the final score
Miami defeated New England
after being down according to our reports twenty four to nothing
Miami beats New England
coming from behind to win thirty four twenty seven
that's Miami and Miami has the poise to do that Miami's one of the few teams that wouldn't fall apart of the scenes when they get behind in situations like that
they kept their cool and come back and won the ball game
here is thirty five to seventeen Jets
first and ten for the Colts on the Jets sixteen
three minutes and fifty seconds to go in this third quarter
Berth Jones running the ball club all the way under the center now
top straight back to pass sets up those are swings to the right side to Mitchell
Mitchell beats Ralph Faker going to the corner
touchdown
Ralph Faker
and then he goes in for the score
Jets got to be mighty tough on linebacker to have him lie down Mitchell
being able to run when he gets the ball away Doug
a great receiver a great runner
no way Ralph Faker can cover line down Mitchell
Berger Jones who had been covering had another assignment on the play obviously
and there were Mitchell and Faker alone
and you know who's going to win that foot race
that's certainly right you know who's going to win anyone
I think he's faster than Herman
Faker I mean
has the point asked by Linhott and it's good
the score of the New York Jets thirty five
the Baltimore Colts twenty four
let's take a sixty second jet break but it's enough

we're informed that Bird Jones just has completed fifteen passes in a row to set a new Baltimore Colt record
thirty five to twenty four the New York Jets are leading by eleven
three forty two to go in his third quarter
what a football game
here's the kickoff by Linhott now
kick is low and hard and driving kick goes to Baccon to the nine yard line
he's got room up to the twenty to twenty five to thirty yard line
and up the middle of the thirty five
move Baccon running it back well
two to thirty five yard line
Dan Neal a center and Tony Batsuga a linebacker combined to stop him
well here comes Joe Namath again
and you know Joe's gonna come out pitching a football
basically he'll run the ball but he's gonna basically be out pitching
and put the ball in the air again
Adam Lee and Riggins are the running backs
Knights of Blankaback split wide to the left
Baccon wide to the right
first to ten to thirty five
a four man rush line to the Colts
Namath calling singles
got straight back on first down
quick square to the side to Baccon
too high
Baccon's been high in the air and both hands on him
but couldn't quite hold on
as he had a twist around for that pass
about eight yards upfield
it'll be second and ten at the thirty five yard line
and just as you said David
Joe will go to the air
and that time Bargain had both hands on the ball
but it wasn't timed exactly
and everybody knows Joe releases that football
before the receiver actually makes his cut
and that time he releases a little bit too soon
three minutes and twenty nine seconds to go
on this third quarter of the New York Jets are leading by eleven
thirty five to twenty four they're led by as many as twenty one points
it's second and ten at thirty five
Blank and C formation
high in the backfield
singles being called by Namath
the handoff the Rickards he powers up the middle
drives up for three four yards
up to the thirty nine yard line
where Fred Cook number seventy two makes the stop
it'll be third and six at the thirty nine yard line
of the New York Jets are leading the ball game
thirty five to twenty four
Joe wants to use that clock
as well as move that ball upfield
the ball at the thirty nine yard line
I bet he does want to use that clock because this is a very confusing ball game
and I've been in situations like this
where you're ahead but you don't know how long you can stay ahead
you want to get the time over with as fast as possible
the Baltimore coach again went into that three defense
department forty four linebacker situation
and he fell and came into the lineup replacing Mike Adelie
and here's that passing formation with one deep back
only Rickards is the deep back
three wide receivers are wide
back to pass the same as close to quick square out to the left side to David Knight
first down he grabs the ball diving forward at the forty nine yard line
first in ten for the New York Jets
on a quick square out by David Knight
he went downfield fake the fly
an angle of the sideline
a dough for the ball cornered in bounds
and slid out of bounds at the forty nine yard line
the players good for ten yards and the first down
and there was no chance that Joe getting sacked on that play
because he just took one step back and threw the football
he threw it way ahead at the time when Eddie
when David Knight made his cut way ahead of it
and Mike Adelie comes back into the lineup
so Rickards and Adelie are on the running backs
and David Knight stays in as Eddie Bell goes out
Knight is flank wide to the right side
Parkham split about two yards to the left side that's all
eye formation in the backfield
he's in front of Rickards, the hand up to Rickards
he tries to swing wide, pulls away from one man
swings to the left side trying to pick up running room
and drives up to the midfield line
he was hit four yards back of the line of scrimmage
and he just would not go down
he just pulled away
past the midfield line of the forty nine yard line
of the Baltimore Colts
he picked up two yards when he should have been dropped for a four yard line
and when Rickards cuts back like that it's all Joe can do to get out of his way
because Joe's not going to be involved in that play
and the blockers are in a situation like that
you can get run over by that Rickards
somebody can
well here's a regular pro set
flank out of the right side of Knight
split left end as Parkham
Rickards the deep back, Adelie up front
second and eight on the forty nine
a hand off to Rickards going wide around the left side
he's got room, he drives down to the forty five
and knocked out a bounce at the forty four yard line
he picks up five on the play
tack on the play made by John Duck
it'll be third and fourth the forty four yard line
with a minute and fifty seconds to go
in this third quarter the New York Jets are out front
thirty five to twenty four
it's really exciting football
in the game that is practically meaningless
for both four clubs certainly in terms of
league standings and final results
and that John Duck is the best defense in the line
in the Baltimore Colts have but he has
he's playing over Bob Woods the right defensive end
number one red tray playing over Bob Woods
and Bob Woods is doing a fine job blocking
now here are three wide receivers again in there Dave
one deep back John Riggins
signals being called third and fourth the forty four
Nameth back to pass throws out to the right side
to Falkham at the thirty five yard line
he gets away from one man and then he's
he's pulled down by two three of the Baltimore Colts
and they call it the thirty five yard line
even though he was up as far as the thirty three
they ruled it complete to the thirty five
it's good enough for the first down of course
nine yards on the play needed four for the first down
and Falkham in night and casted to
do just such an outstanding job they drive
cornerbacks crazy and when Joe's in that situation
he usually throws the ball quick because the way
the Baltimore Colts can hurt him is to send
two outside linebackers and he only has one guy
to pick him up being John Riggins
Nameth has completed seventeen of twenty four
for two hundred and seventy three yards first
and ten of the thirty five yard line the head
of Costa Rica he's got running rule now
to the thirty yard line and down he
he was tripped rather by Rick Vogue
and he almost regained his footing out in the clear
of the thirty but he stumbled as Vogue hit him
very low trying to regain his footing
and went down at the thirty yard line
stumbling for a five yard game a lot of guys hit him
very low they don't want to take him on around
his numbers I'll hit him down around his ankles
and the Baltimore Colts that time had a blitz on
they had Mike Curtis coming up from the middle
linebackers by blitzing and John just cut outside
and made a good yard out running outside the blitz
and he fell number seven comes out of the line
up replacing David Knight
now Bell goes out wide to the right side
Barkham is wide left Rich Castro tight right
and second and five at the thirty yard line
Nameth takes it hands off the rickets
he'll the line of scimages still forward for one yard
to the twenty nine yard line where it'll be
third and four at twenty nine John Dutton
and Joe Airman combined to stop him
so it'll be third and four at the twenty nine yard line
and the New York Jets
apparently a time is out at the end of the third quarter
that's it the gun sounds ending the third quarter
John Nameth at the far side at the end of the third quarter
the score the Jets thirty five the Baltimore Colts twenty four
let's take a sixty second jet break for this announcement
my dear is Ryan Gold the dry deer
think of Ryan Gold whenever you're my dear
in nineteen fifty eight Ryan Gold won the gold medals
at the last European World's Fair in Brussels
and at the international exposition in Munich
the Lord Mayor of Munich had this to say
when he presented the gold medal to Ryan Gold
as a beer lover and a can of soot
I say without doubt that Ryan Gold extra dry
is one of the finest beers in the world
Ryan Gold is proud to say that ever since then
Ryan Gold is producing the same gold medal winning Ryan Gold beer
in the very same way using the very same ingredients
the world's best quality hops
corn and malt that money can buy
and even more important the very same brew masters
are actually still at Ryan Gold
brewing the award winning Ryan Gold beer
won't you try extra dry Ryan Gold beer
Ryan Gold breweries incorporated Brooklyn New York
going into the fourth quarter of the New York Jets
leave the Baltimore Colts thirty five twenty four
here are more scores these are all finals
Miami defeated New England thirty four twenty seven
Atlanta beat Green Bay ten three
Philadelphia defeated Detroit twenty eight to seventeen
and Washington's Robert Chicago forty two to nothing
in the third quarter Cleveland seventeen Houston fourteen
in the second in the third period the Giants fourteen
and the St. Louis Cardinals thirteen
there on the Baltimore Colts lining up on defense now
head down thirty five twenty four as the Jets break their huddle
and go to the line of skimmage the Jets now using
three wide receivers again two wide to the right side
one wide to the left only Wiggins is the deep back
it's third and four at the twenty nine yard line
third and four a draw play up the middle goes Wiggins
he got the first down and more right down to the twenty two yard line
he picked up seven yards on the play an ankle high tackle
by Rick Boke again stuffed him at the twenty two
with that spread formation that time the middle was wide open
and only a great tackle by Boke stop what could have been a touchdown
and Joe is having an outstanding day out there because that time
had he had a pass on with that three wide receiver and one setback
that time the Baltimore Colts had two inside linebackers
lifting Joe would have been nailed for sure but he had to draw play on
he has the right play called at the right time and Rickens has run for
eighty six yards unofficially so far first from ten out to twenty two yard line
flank it on the right side David Knight rest of the ball club is tight
Rickens and Adam Lee on the running backs name it under the center
takes a snap gives to Rickens he drives around the left side trying to make
roll he's down to the twenty to fifteen not got about to the fifteen yard line
circling around the left side enormous speed by this big man
he really takes off remember this fellow is six two and goes 235 pounds
he started up off his left guard saw no hole and suddenly swung wide
out raced a corner back and a line back of the sideline
and turned up field until Rick Boke again knocked him out about to the fifteen yard line
a gain of seven yards as a super football player he's a big six foot two
and a big 237 pounds but he's got that great outside speed it's not great
in terms of O.J. Simpson but it's great in terms of his size
it's second and three of the fifteen yard line of the Baltimore Colts and time is flying
a minute has gone on this fourth quarter the Jets are leading thirty five twenty four
regular pro set this time Barker flank wide right night split wide left
hands up goes to Rickens he goes wide this time he's hit back of the line
for a one yard loss back to the sixteen yard line he has that tendency to
swing in and then swing out and around and when he swings out and around
sometimes they get to him at that time Fred Cook a rookie flying defensive left
then Southern Mississippi stomps him at the seventeen yard line
a two yard loss makes a third and five out of seventeen Winston Hill is blocking on that
Fred Cook that rookie that defensive end number seventy two and Winston all he can do is fire into him
if Cook's gonna go outside then Rickens is gonna have to run inside and that time he just
made a bad bad decision a bad cut now there are two wide receivers to the right
Barkham and Knight a Barkham and Bell rather and David Knight
wide left one deep bank rigging third and five at the seventeen let's see what Namath comes up with here
third and five Namath calling signals a long
count he takes the snap goes to pass
throws out to the right side it's caught by Barkham and it's good for the first down
at the eight yard line a square out to Barkham Barkham knew
that first down marker was and more he faked going deep into the end zone
and just curled out to the right and Joe just put it out there
it's incredible Marty the way he is passing attack is working and I just sitting here thinking
that we knew where he's gonna throw the football that's one of why the Baltimore Coles didn't know where he's gonna throw the football
you know Barkham had to get the first down he had to go in that area somewhere
first and goal to go with the eight yard line and Joe Namath is
being on it first and goal on the eight this may be his best ball game
of the season one of the best I've ever seen him had
regular pro set now Namath back to pass again sets up looks
throws into the right corner of the end zone and complete in tennis for Eddie Bell it was over thrown
Bell was double covered that time and I have a hunch that maybe he threw it away
and that's just what I was gonna say Marty he knew he threw that ball away because Eddie Bell didn't have a chance to get it
not only was he never covered but the ball was about eight ten feet over his head so Joe just
dumped the ball in the corner. Tom McCloud and Ray Oldham had him four and half
four and half. Yeah, naval term.
In front of him behind him. It's second and goal to go to the eight yard line and he
fell flank wide to the right side now G Barkham split wide left running back so Rickins and Adam Lee
which cast to a tight right end this time singles being called by Namath
takes the snap goes back looks to the left side throws out to Rickins
gets the block pass the ten goes inside to the eight yard line again to the line of skimmage and no more
swing pass out to the left side to John Riggins
knocked out of bounds by Dan Sickle a corner back now a linebacker
on the play so a third and goal to go to the eight yard line under York Jets around front
eleven points thirty five twenty four and it's almost incredible that guy won't
go down John Riggins has been knocked down very very few times today by
regardless of who hit him he did a good assing it had he cut back had he been a little bit closer to Mike Adam Lee
I think he would have went for more yards because Mike had a super block on that play
David Knight comes in for Eddie Bell and
Knights and Barkham a wide right rich cast an hour split wide left
cast her out there covered by Nelson Muncie he'll have his hands full third and goal to be
back to pass into the right corner he throws deep into the corner
incomplete intent of a David Knight and that time Namath was knocked down hard on the play
big rushing lineman
a penalty marker is thrown down as well let's see what the call is going to be here
the calls are really frustrated out there now flitting a lot of people trying to get
two jokes and that time he almost got to him before he threw the football
he was hit hard after he threw the football a tripping penalty called against the Jets
that's the second time this ball game not again yeah twice the tripping
penalty called a ten-yard penalty we know now well it's going to be
refused
personal foul tripping is indicated by the referee and the penalty is refused
so it's fourth and goal to go on the eight and a field goal attempt comes up
25-yard field goal attempt
this one is straight away all he has to do is kick the point after
for three a 25-yard field goal attempt the ball is
a 15-yard line the signal is called Pat Lehi booting and there's a kick up
and it's up and it is good it's good it's through there the score
the New York Jets 38 the Baltimore Colts 24
New York Jets are out in front 38 to 24 against the Baltimore Colts
they're at 12 minutes and 58 seconds to go on the ball game
high check that of course Lehi booting off and it's taken by Bruce Laird
up to the 20-yard line and 25 to 30 still driving into 35-yard line
nice run back by Bruce Laird to the 35
he took it at the 10 tackle made by Burgess
Steve Tannins Steve Tannins is playing with special teams
today has not been playing safety here's the further score
the Giants may be taking it on the chin again they were leading 14 to nothing
against the Cardinals but in the fourth quarter St. Louis 20 the Giants
14 and it's first from 10th for the Baltimore Colts
the ball is on there 35-yard line the Jets are leading 38-24
man in motion coming to the right side is Freddie Scott
back to passes Jones a swing pass to the right side taken by Lydell Mitchell he tries to feel him a 40
keeps going to the 44 44-yard line
nice play 9 yards on the play that was not a forward pass that was a lateral pass
out to the right flat it was not thrown forward it was thrown from a flat angle
back to Lydell Mitchell who ran it upfield good for 9 yards
it will be second and one at the 44-yard line
and now the New York Jets going to a 3-4-4 defense
and they're doing what they can to Jets are doing what they can
to counteract the fast catching of Lydell Mitchell going into 3 defense
and 4 linebacker and second and one on the 44 they may go long
on this play they have practically a down to waist or to take
a chance on it see if they do
now they give it off to the full back holes it goes up to middle 4 the necessary
yard he picks up 2-3 yards on the play up to the 47 yard line usually on second and one
second and short yardage you might expect that ball to go a long way
especially if you're behind as far as the Baltimore culture behind 38-24
I would think he might want to go for a touchdown or a long pass because he can always make
that first down on third or even fourth down on a situation like this
11 and a half minutes remaining in this ball game for New York Jets lead by 14 points
38-24 again a three man rush line for the New York Jets
3-4-4 defense first and 10 at the 47 of the
Baltimore coach signals being called a swing
pass again to Mitchell he just does grab it but he's hit back of the line and gets thrown for a lot
Ed Gallagher and Ralph Baker saw that one
coming and hit him down at the 42 yard line
a five yard loss it'll be second and 15 at the 42
and one of the Jets is hurt
I don't see his number
Jim Nicolas it may be Rich Sal who turned on the last play
he really got felled
by the offensive guard
the lead at swing pass a 40 yard men's
left middle
let's take a look at that score sheet and see if we have any scores
here are the final scores so far
Washington,Chillac,Chicago 42 to nothing
in the fourth quarter Houston leads Bleeland 21 to 17
and the fourth quarter from the coast
San Diego 7,Denver nothing this game running so late the first time we've had a West Coast
score on our broadcast San Diego 7,Denver nothing in the first
final score Philadelphia 28 Detroit 17
final Atlanta 10,Green Bay 3
Miami coming from behind to beat New England Miami 34
New England 27 here's another West Coast score San Francisco 7
Louis 20 the Giants 14 and Rich Sal just had his bell run because he just ran off the field
he played out there by early time but Rich Sal did run off the field for his all right
that last pass was Jones 17th straight
completed pass now some of those are lateral passes though and they ought not
to be countered by the score pass a lot of them are lateral passes or near lateral pass because
as I mentioned before he doesn't have that great yard per catch average
those are passes completed back of the line of scrimmage
and the Anderson had the record in the NFL of 17 in the row
AFC's NFL record and now
Bert Jones probably has the new record at 17
however his team is trailing 38-24
second and 15 at the 42 yard line
backs aside by side and again Freddie Scott comes in motion of the right
penalty marker on the play back the passes Jones throws and it's
by Ray Chester with the 48 of the New York Jets but a penalty marker
illegal motion called against the Baltimore Coles and that play is going to be nullified
instead of being second and five
it's going to be second and 20
back at the 37 yard line
the Baltimore Coles illegal motion called against the Baltimore Coles and
Bert Jones just did get that pass off because he had extreme pressure by Richard Neal that time
he just got the pass off and he had illegal motion going to be nullified to play completely
we see where Rich Stiles is back in the lineup now
that's good to see it sure is
I don't want to see anybody get hurt particularly on the last day of the season that would be terrible I can't make him anything worse
now that's second and 20 at the 37 yard line
of the Baltimore Coles
line situation for the New York Jets defense here they can flunk one off
second and 20 at the 37 and Jets leading 28
rather 38-24 Jets in front by 14
the first Jones back to pass throws out to the right side through the hands of the Senators receiver Freddie Scott
he leaves high on the air and both hands on it should have had it
but it went right through 10 and a half minutes ago in this ball game
the New York Jets leading 38-24 and now it's third and 20
at the 37 yard line and even if he had a cut the ball Marty
had to come down outside and he couldn't have got both feet in bounds
and that snaps the string of completion at 17
a new NFL record 17 consecutive
completed passes by Bert Jones short or otherwise it's still quite a record
back to pass to Bert Jones on third and long throws over the middle
intercepted upfield comes right to Bowen he's running
Crossfield he's got rules down to the 30 yard line of the 25
two men to beat down to the 15 he's forced out of bounds to the 15 yard line
Bert Jones makes his second interception
of the game
Bert Jones forced him out of bounds at the 15 yard line
pretty play by Bert Jones
maybe that's why Bert Jones is going with those five passes the whole day because he can't throw deep
he didn't throw that ball well at all and Bert Jones on the plane heads up football made a fine interception
now we get folks after the ball game today as always
you can talk with Dave Herman and me and discuss football this season and next season
by calling area code 212 354 9044
repeat that number in just a moment
first 10 at the 15 yard line high formation on the backfield flanking on the right side
split left end name it hands off the rigors he finds a hole in the middle and drives for
five yards goes to the 10 yard line he took one step left saw the hole
open up the middle and then grow up field to the 10 yard line it'll be second and five
at the 10 the number to call if you want to talk with David me ask the ball game right from my broadcast
book is 212 354 9044
ball placed down at the 11 yard line makes it second and
six at the 11 yard line of the Baltimore coast the clock shows
nine minutes and 47 seconds to go on this football game the Jets lead
38 to 24 and they can just about put it on ice if they score here
flanking on the right side is David Knight running backs are Adam Lee and Riggins
Nameth and quarterback takes the snap gives off the rigors
Riggins drives off left ankle smashes forward and goes to about the six yard line
five yard line before he stopped what tremendous
strength and drive by John Riggins and that's good heads up football because John saw
the blitzing coming that time the Baltimore Colton had all the linebackers blitzing again
and John cut up inside the blitz it's good heads up and very very strong running
there may be a measurement no there won't be a measurement it's going to be
third and about a foot Tom McLeod and Mike Curtis combined
to stop him finally the ball the nose of the football is just shy of the
five yard stripe and the yard marker is on the five yard stripe
so it's third and about a foot Riggins has a hundred and one yards
now in what he carries straight T formation
the head up goes to Adam Lee who goes through to the four yard line he's got the first down
Riggins off rather Adam Lee to say Riggins all game
Adam Lee goes down to the three yard line and it's first and goal to go on
the three Bruce Laird made the tackle to the three yard line and Mike
number one flashed through for two yards and the first down
and the first and goal to go on the three the most short yard he's played is Ben John Riggins but they're running to play
just the option and letting Riggins do the blocking for Mike Adam Lee
here's a further score from St. Louis the court now leads the giant
26 to 14 what a season for the
first goal to go on the three yard line straight T formation
tight ends both ends are tight
three full backs in the backfield Adam Lee carries goes to the goal line goes in
touchdown for Adam Lee Mike Adam Lee scores and he's the happiest man
out there and New York gets the wrap in front now
44-24 and that should put this ball game
on ice for the arc with seven minutes and 59 seconds to go on the ball game
it should but it might not but it might not because it has been such a wild ball game
that's an awful lot of points to have scored I don't remember the last time the jet scored
that many points good drive again for
the arc
signals a call for the point after his lay he's kicking up and it's
through there it's through there the score the New York Jets
45 the Baltimore Colts 24
45 to 24 the New York Jets are leading the Baltimore
Colts 759 to go on the ball game and patley he will kick off
now to Cotton Spira and Bruce lead who's that ball a crazy
spinning kick coming out of the four yard line taken by Spira up to the 15
the 27 the middle he comes a low tackle Duffson at the 26 27
yard line guess who Mike Adam Lee number one
all day long run down and he goes kick off and he's very very proud he that time he knocked the
wedge down by himself and made the tackle and he and Lupe Acone are have quite
a battle going on to the see who's going to make the play they both run down one is
at our one and one is at our two and they both get down there together
and it's quite a battle to see who's going to make the play that time Lupe Acone got
felt it's pretty good time is taken on the field right now he's on his back at the 30 yard line
but Jeff Snedic gets into his feet and now for cone runs off
a tough little man he thought he heard the phone ringing went to answer
the bell's actually ring when you get
hit with these big new helmets I think you know what happened party and really happened
your subconscious gets ahead of your conscious behind and you think when you're when
you're laying there you've done that same thing before it actually happened that way
Steve Tana comes in now plays the fill wise and strong safety
early Thomas comes into place left corner now replacing Richie
Sal's back to pass now
Jones passing throws over the left side is deflected nicely deflected by
see who it is and I think it's Al Atkinson who deflected that pass halfway
for us intended receiver the intended receiver deep downfield was
Ray Chester and playing heads up football
I'm not Atkinson at middle line backer replacing Jamie Rivers who's hurt
three men who are not in action today are Jamie Rivers at middle line backer and running
Jefferson Boosa and Clarence Jackson and the way the Jets offense has been going
and the defense as well well it's it's nice they could have the day off
it's second and ten at the 26 yard line back to pass again as
Jones throws over the middle it's complete the mission with the 30 yard line he pulls away from one man and another
goes up to the 35 and down to the 40 yard line a fine effort
by Lines L Mitchell the new record holder of the National Football League
for a running back receiving passes he's into the 70s now
cross go word and early Thomas made the tackle at the 40 yard line where
it's first and ten at the 40 the play was good for 14 yards Liedel Mitchell
making the grab but really all they're trying to do is solidify
that record because throwing no screen pass no swing pass no flat
pass aren't going to get many points on the board and they don't have that much time remaining anymore
with that seven minutes and eight seconds left and the New York Jets out front by
21 points 45 to 24 and this is the final game of the regular
season our final broadcast for the year in motion to the right
side comes Glenn Doughty back to pass go Steve Jones setting up
throwing deep way way downfield way down knocked down to the
last ball with a pretty play by Rusco word word
had a catch up to Roger Carr and the pass
was knocked down at the 15 yard line of the Jets Roger
Carr had about a stride on Roscoe were the pass thrown way way down
but Carr had it let up he had a wait for it and as he let up
Roscoe word just leaped up and knocked it aside and this got a report on
Roscoe word is you're not going to find anybody quicker in the national football league
than Roscoe word and he said a great recovery job if he makes a mistake
he's got that great speed to recover make the play well it's second
and ten at the 40 yard line off the ball of all codes and back
again as Steve Jones to pass Bird Jones what am I talking about knocked down
the 50 yard line nice defensive play
Bill Ferguson made it
Bird Jones the quarterback
son of Jeff Jones a good job out there again
with that four linebacker four defensive back situation they have enough people to cover
all those zones and at that time Bill Ferguson was ahead of the intended receiver and just knocked the
ball away intended receiver was Ray Chester that's fine
now it's third and ten at the 40 yard line off the ball of more coast the New York gets
leading in the ball game 45 to 24 six minutes and 43 seconds
to go on the ball game again the pro set first Jones goes back to pass that's up now he throws
Angling to the right and it's caught by Glenn Dowdy the 45 with the jets for a first
out he drives it down to the 42 yard line early Thomas makes the tackle
on third and long Bird Jones completed the Glenn Dowdy
DOU GHTY Dowdy
and it's at the 42 yard line of the New York Jets and the clock is running show
six minutes and 19 seconds to go on the ball game the jets are out front by a score of
45 to 24 Ferguson is playing in place of Ralph Baker to give him Baker
arrest and give him Ferguson some playing time and he was in position to make the play that last
particular pass but he slipped and fell down
first Jones goes back again on a quick count sets up throws deep way down feel for Dowdy
way down for Thomas incomplete
I thought that early Thomas might have had a penalty called on in that time
he kind of stuck out an arm that time to him feed the progress of Glenn Dowdy
he removed it very quickly but it was there nevertheless and it wasn't
the penalty as early will tell you it's not a penalty until he sees that yellow flag but I thought it's the same
thing about it I thought sure as a world we're going to see the ball in the one yard line because of the
pass interference see where Joe Schmeiching comes in a tackle
now replacing Carl Bosalowskas when those guys are rushing the pass
with a 3D defensive lineman and they're rushing against always 5 and sometimes
7 pass blockers and they get very tired doing that the front 3 now
Schmeiching in the middle and Gallagher and Neal at the end 3 4 4 defense
second attempt at the 42 Jones fake shot starts the run with the ball goes out to the right
and he's pulled out and no he's not he pulls away gets out of the 35 to 30
on line and down at the 30
it's down to the 30 on line by early Thomas
Schmeiching out of the way from one of the jet Joe Schmeiching out of by the arm
but he pulled away and ran for the first time he ran 12 yards from the 42
to the 30 yard line good for the first now so it's first and then at the 30
and the clock is running 5 minutes and 27 seconds ago in the ball game the jets are out in front
45 to 24
Billy Olds comes back in at full back replacing Don McCauley
so the running backs now are Olds and Mitchell
they go to the line as Schemish do the ball and more coats
flanker watch the right side is down to the left end is Roger Carr
first Jones at quarterback the range is 6 3
throws over the middle of complete to Olds
Olds drives to the 18 yard line swinging out of the backfield circling over the middle
Olds who just came in on the lineup made the grab over the middle and drove down to the
18 yard line where Al Atkinson made the tackle making the 19 yard line
11 yards on the play and it's first and 10 at the 19 yard line
and that might have been Joe Schmeising second best player the whole year he broke through
three offensive blockers at guard two guards in the center were both all three
blocking on Schmeising he broke through and Nail Bert Jones just as he was
releasing the football. Carl Bosel-Oltrickson back in the tackle
Schmeising stays in so it's a four man front with Edisle Ferguson and Atkinson line
back as Jones passing looking throwing to the end zone in complete
penalty knocker. Penley-Mocker against Roscoe Wards
and Asko is really upset out there he's really upset but he
really had a hole in the... who was the receiver? Roger Carr. He really had a hole
of Roger Carr before the ball ever got near Roger Carr
the interference took place in the end zone so the ball is placed on the one yard line
it's first and goal to go on the 1 45 24
the Jets lead by 21 4 minutes and
18 seconds to go in the game. Rees comes in replacing
Wards so they have a 4 4 3 defense now
four men up front four linebackers and three halfbacks
first and goal to go on the 1
the Jets need a fumble right here
now he goes in motion to the right now he sets to the right side man of motion goes to the left Mitchell
back to passes Jones Jones setting up throws it now he starts the ball goes to the
left he goes in touchdown Jones carries it into the zone
he went back to pass found no receiver open
and spun in for the touchdown makes it 45 to 30
that was a great call by Jones sending that halfback in motion
sent a line down Mitchell in motion the linebacker had to drop off and go into coverage
and they had no pressure coming from that side at all he had plenty of room to run
well it's 45 30
the wildest scoring football game of the season
point after attempt coming up from 19 yards out the Jets are offside
contact made and they'll line up again in just a moment
contact made by the Jets offside called against them
by referee Fred Swaringham they started the bus through
looking to break it up the Jets now lead by 15
points they like to keep it that way but it's hardly likely and there is
no time remaining Marty there's four minutes and ten seconds and a couple bad mistakes
by the Jets put them in trouble here's the snap the kick is up and it's good
the score the New York Jets 45
the Baltimore Colts 31
a big three must get tears bar
an onside kicker tap by Tony Linnard
fails to go ten yards and it's going to be Jets ball at the Colts
42 yard line one of the Baltimore Colts is hurt
an onside kick attempt must go at least ten yards before it's
playable by the kicking team it's playable any time
by the receiving team but that time the ball did not go
ten yards and the Jets are like to keep that football at the Colts
42 yard line because it didn't go ten and they have great field position
and one of the most famous onside kicks was in 1969 when the Baltimore Colts
did it against the New York Jets in the Super Bowl
don't forget folks after the ball game Dave Primer and I will stay right here on the broadcast
booth cool as it is and talk football with you
by means of telephone of course and all you have to do is call that New York
number 212 354 9044
we'll talk about this ball game the past season and the coming season
and we hope you call 212 354 9044
Rudnick a
safety man was hurt on the last play but apparently he's okay
we'll also run down all the scores
probably before the end of this ball game there are four minutes and four seconds to go in this game
the Jets are out front by 14 points see jazz traction in the
deep spot and Bob burns up front burns the pullback is that Woodall in there
I believe it is yes it is how would all at quarterback
takes it hands up to Jackson he drives off left tackle smashes forward goes to the 38
yard line picks up four yards on the play
it'll be second and six out to 38 yard line
Bob burns and jazzed Jackson in the backfield now
with Al Woodall at quarterback Woodall number 18
slender 6'5 goes only 195 pounds
six years of previous experience
now the Jets go to the line of skimmers looking to run that clock out I believe
three and a half minutes to go in the ball game Jets leading 45
31 flanking to the right side the ball club is tight
Woodall looking over the defense takes the snap gives off the burns burns hit back of the line of skimmers
drives to the line of skimmers and that's all he was almost pulled down
back of the line of skimmers stand white linebacker came across and
for no game so it'll be third and sixth at the 38 of the ball
the ball goes the Jets are leading in the ball game 45 31 and the Jets have
kept their offensive line intact the starters are still in there and Al's going to have to put the ball in the air
on third down and six yards ago he's going to have to put it in the air
three wide receivers are in now
Jackson going to the sideline night split wide to the left
side and Eddie Bell and G. Bargham flank wide to the right side
and Bob burns with the deep back it's third and six
signals call back the fastest Woodall throws out to the right
side incomplete and Jennifer ready fell much too high incomplete
so it's fourth and sixth at the 38 yard line and it's almost too much to ask
quarterback to come in on a cold day like this after a ball of a three
quarter football game has been played and throw that ball and that time they had a
misreading of the offensive play because Al Woodall thought Eddie Bell was going to break one way
and Eddie Bell broke the other way they looked at each other and they're both bewildered
well two and a half minutes ago in this football game the New York Jets are leading
by 14 points 45 to 31 is this the first
time that Jets have punted the ball that's right right now Greg Gantt coming in
a punt for the first time today and you know he's cold
well he's been in there holding for points after a lot of action
Greg Gantt ready to kick that football he's gotten a single safety
there's the kick a bad kick off the side of his foot going out of bounds at the far
side and it goes out of bounds let's see if the 33 yard
line had it recovered at it I don't think they got a first down
do you know that that kick picked up five yards from the line of scrimmage
he wasn't cold he was frozen
and that's tough they had to come in and kick the football after he's done nothing
for the whole day well he was very active running on and off of those
touchdowns though after all the Jets have seven of them
check that six
first and ten at the 33 yard line back to basketball
square zone setting up throwing deep way down to the left side and it's
caught there by Roger Carr Carr hit at the 45
and got to the 45 of the Jets a long
pass and again Carr coming back for it Carr has great
speed he's a ranger 6-3 out of Louisiana Tech he's just a rookie
and he goes deep down feeling Carr rolls back and now the
Colts go to the line of scrimmage without a huddle and they come to the 2 minute mark and the 2 minutes
warning the score the Jets 45 the Colts
31 it's first and 10 for the Baltimore Colts and the 45
of the Jets three man rush line for the Jets here
Jones in there all the way goes back to fast
up now now he throws deep to the left and again it's caught by Carr
and Carr is pulled down on about the 25 yard line
and that Roger Carr is really something he goes deep
down field and he curls back and he's tough to handle
Roscoe works covering on him so he must be very fast if Roscoe's giving that much room to operate in
Bella Cost there's not too much time remaining a minute and 40 seconds
on the ball game now time has resumed after the clock was stopped for the first down
no huddle back to pass again as first Jones setting up throws to the right
this one is caught by great chested chested rise to the 10 yard line
picked up 15 yards for and it's first and
goal and now the Baltimore Colts call for time with
129 remaining the Baltimore Colts calling for time
129 remaining first and goal with players
and now they're back to the
home
the Colts can score in the hurry
successfully regain possession they can tie up this football game
it's very conceivable Marty the way the Colts are playing I'll tell you gotta give them credit because they're really
fighting out there and they're really fighting fighting for their contract fighting for the pride of winning the football game
they're doing a good job
Bert Jones has thrown the ball 52 times so far
he's completed 35 of 52 for 375 yards
Nameth has thrown 28 times
completed 19 of 28 for 281 yards
the most important statistic is 45 31 the Jets 45
the Colts 31 but it may not be that way long because the Colts have the ball
first and goal on the Jets 10 they're lined up now ready to resume play
129 to go on the game
Bert Jones takes it dropped straight back looks to the end zone throws over the middle touchdown
touchdowns done Macaulay
he had to pass over the middle of Don Macaulay
the half back circling over the middle and he called it right at the goal line
he has been killing the Jets all day long with those passes to the half back to the goal back
using that working against the linebackers in the yard Jets
the score is now 45 37
124 to go on the game and the Jets need that football
well here's the point after a tap
ball a snap kicked up and it's good it's good
the score of the New York Jets 45
the Baltimore Colts 38
let's take a 60 second jet break for this announcement
if you're a guy who loves his beer
and your work is done but the beer's not near
we say nothing should come between you and your beer
if you're a guy who loves his beer
and you're home alone when your friends appear
we say nothing should come between you and your beer
we say nigerbocker natural
nothing should come between you and your beer
nigerbocker natural
the outside kick which you might have expected was recovered by David Knight of the Jets
Knight may have been heard on that play at the far side
it just came over the restraining line which is the 45 yard line
you know they kicked in the 35 now and the ball must be kicked at least 10 yards
past the 45 and David Knight grabbed it as it bounced up to him at the 45 yard line
and it was hit almost immediately and Jeff Snedeker and the good doctor Jim Nicholas
talking to him and I think David Knight just had his bell rung as you would say
and I'll tell you Marty that is a very dangerous play because you have on that side of the field
you had at least 6 or 7 colts 10 yards apart from 6 or 7 jets and they all come running together
there's one or more people don't get hurt
well it'll be first and 10 for the Jets the ball is at the 46 yard line
they placed it down at the 45 I don't know why
it should be closer to the 46
no no they've got a right smack at the 45 yard line
that's where it is alright
that's where he caught it and he was driven back from there
it's at the four or more colts 45 yard line
Al Woodall running the ball club one minute and 24 seconds to go
the Jets need a first down
they go to a flanker T formation
flanker wide to the right is Eddie Bell signals being called by Al Woodall
Woodall takes it
hands off that of Lee swinging wide
he cuts back trips and drives forward for 3 yards before he stopped at the 42 yard line
it'll be second and 7 at the 42
Mike Curtis made the tackle at the 42 yard line
and the clock is running shows a minute and 9 seconds and the Jets are in no hurry to get this next playoff
they don't want to delay a game penalty but there are no big hurry right now
and let's see it looks like time has been called
Mike Curtis looks as though he's hurt and I can hear Dave Herman laughing already
I thought he was going to play that old thing there he is hurt
and if he says he's hurt he's going to have to come out of the football game
but they call timeout, I would call timeout
they have one timeout remaining after this one
one more after this timeout
and Mike Curtis I thought he was as we say feigning the injury
I've seen that happen I got a confession order here
I saw the backup guard we had
Bob Talimini got hurt one time and couldn't hardly get off the field until he got there and he started laughing
but we got a timeout of the deal
Confessions of a football playoff
56 seconds to go in this football game
the New York Jets are out in front 45 to 38
actually after they call one more timeout
the Jets can still run two more plays and the ball game should end
here's a final score just came in and the Giants wind up with another loss
the card in those 26 the Giants 14 the Giants had led 14 to nothing
the toughest of all seasons for New York
second and seventh at the 42 yard line
handoff goes to John Riggins
Riggins gets away from one man and another and drives
and he's very close to the first down
he has the first down at the 35 yard line
John Riggins spinning for more yards
you got over 100 yards already
picked up about seven more yards on the last play and the ball is at the 35 yard line
you got about 100, 809 yards John Riggins does for today
and now the clock is running down 30 seconds to go in the ball game
the Jets run one more play and it's all over
first and 10 at the 35 yard line
Danny Rose made the last tackle
David Knight has come back on the field for the New York Jets
now Lou Pecone comes on
Lou Pecone replaces Eddie Bell
Pecone is blank wide to the right
signals being called by Al Woodall
and Woodall just falls to the ground
at the line of scrimmage and the clock is running now
down to the two second mark
and the season and the ball game is all over
that's it folks
the New York Jets have beaten the Baltimore Colts
45 to 38 the Jets have won six in a row
and Dave and I will be back with those phone calls in just a minute
the number to call 212-354-9044
at the end of the game of the score of the New York Jets
45 the Baltimore Colts 38
let's take a 60 second jet break for this announcement
Ladies and gentlemen the fight of the century
the champion Dodd Colts playing again with a stick of Christ
from only 25-85
excluding spade and local passes, destination and deal of prep-convention
in the other corner Colts much counted high price the Colts
there's the bell
the cars are out of their corners
Colts opponent throws the first punch
front teeth breaks but Colts got those
standard two to Colts getting mad
here's another jab by Colts opponent
the economy but Colts responds with great gas mileage
now Dodd Colts is throwing the punches
ooh there's an inside hood release
a four speed transmission and a light up of six models
Colts opponent can't take it
the decision is you minimum
Dodd Colts the winner and champion
Price Fighters

well Dave if I run down all the scoring today
we'll take up all our time on this post game show
that was quite a wild game Marty
it was a fun game to watch, a fun game to do
but there's a total of
650, 700 yards totally by both quarterbacks
both teams passing
and it's always the same
it amazes me that a lot of things have changed
it just got new coaches
the Baltimore Colts got new coaches
but the games are always the same Marty
there's always a lot of wild scoring
a lot of scoring and a lot of wild activity
as far as joining football
final today was 45-38
and as I said there's hardly a point to running over all the scoring
it happened every which way
the Jets seem to dominate the opening quarter of play
they had three shots to score
cashed in on only one
on that first touchdown pass
Joe Namath the G. Barkham
but missed on two field goal attempts
when their touchdown drives were stopped
one was wide and one was partially blocked
but the Jets certainly have a lot to look forward to next year
they put together six very very fine wins
and they have a lot to look forward to as far as their personnel coming back
you know Dave these ball parks
at the tail end of the season when the weather was cold and raw
they really clear out in the hurry don't they?
Marty they do clear out in the hurry
and I'm looking here I was chucking a little bit ago
you know it's the end of the season
they've already taken the goal post down
so it goes
they're going to make this back into a baseball stadium
speaking of the end of the season here
the final scores for today
as you know the New York Jets won their ball game
45-38
I have to look at my score sheet to double check that
a fantastic scoring today
the Jets were always in front except for early in the ball game
when they were tied 7-7
always were in command and the Coles always were coming from behind
and the Jets always had a pretty good lead
but here are those other final scores
we told you the St. Louis Cardinals beat the New York Giants
26-14
Miami came from way back to beat New England
34-27
Atlanta defeated Green Bay
10-3
and Philadelphia defeated Detroit
28-17
the Washington Redskins really walloped the Bears
42-0
in the fourth quarter Houston
28 Cleveland 17
in the second quarter Buffalo 7
Los Angeles nothing
in the second period San Diego 14
Denver nothing
and also in the second period San Francisco 14
New Orleans 7
the number to call if you want to talk with Dave and me
is 2-1-2 that's the area code of course
354-9044
while we have the opportunity Dave
like to say that it was great working with Jim Macal air once again
our producer of all these broadcasts
and our spotter Greg Schmaltz
from the Pusseic News
our home spotter Rick Byrne
comes out of John Harvard no less
nothing but the best for us
and Dave look forward to
your sophomore year next year
as a broadcaster of the New York Jets games
it really was great working with you
I've been lucky you know through the years
and being able to work with fellas
who taught me so much football all along
working with Al D. Regardus for
I guess eight years and Sam Huff
and Chuck Connelly and all and now you
and man it's the first time I've worked with an offensive lineman
and really when we work the ball games
we look at it from a different point of view
because as an offensive lineman you still look at it as a guard
or a tackle just as I guess D. Row looked at it
as a defensive tackle and Sam Huff
as a middle line backer and Connelly
as a quarterback really quite different
well Marty it has been fun being here
and I look forward to the second year myself
and when I started the thing I was looking to keep contact
with the New York Jets after dropping
playing football for 19 years I just didn't want to drop completely
but now I'm looking forward to coming back next year
as a broadcaster as well
I understand the phone call the phone lines are open now
that number is 212-354-9044
Hello there this is Dave Herman with Marty Glickman
Hi Dave, Marty how are you guys doing?
Good.
I'd like to say just two things before I ask you some questions
number one I'd like to say that the man is the best in my opinion
it's hard to say whether Johnny United's was better
but you can't compare men like that
and number two I'd like to say that it's good to see the Jets win
and establish some pride for change
now I have some good questions I'll just read them all for me
and just give the answers you know
the Jets they've reached things in the upcoming draft
number one is a fast half back to get outside
number two is defensive and the giant maybe
the compliment barzo which is making them even better
and number three a big fast pulling guard to run sweep
which we need and do you know if the Jets have anybody
that they're looking for in these categories?
I'm talking to Coach Charlie Wynner this morning
and I was amazed at this myself
he said that they have not even considered the draft
they have scouts out looking at all the colleges
they've been looking at them for years since the last draft
and they know the scouts know what's available
and now they're going to sit down tomorrow
and they'll start meeting with the coaches
all the coaches will get together and the other
administrative personnel other Jets will get together
and they'll start selecting how they're going to draft
so they haven't even thought about it yet
they know who's out there by the scouts
and now tomorrow they'll start looking for it
pardon me?
does that include the world football league?
I don't know I don't think that they're about tapping the world football league yet
because the world football league is not folding
I want to know who you guys picked when the Super Bowl is here
oh that's easy
the winner of the game between Miami and Oakland next week
and I think it'll be Oakland
you think it'll be Oakland?
my friend Dave has a different point of view I think
I think you're right Marty
I think the winner of that game will have the best shot
but I think Miami will beat Oakland next week
right on down right on
