00:00:00to play 47 yarder by O'Donoghue

00:00:04Miami beat Houston in its

00:00:05opening game having problems with

00:00:07the Indianapolis Colts who were

00:00:09absolutely destroyed by the

00:00:11Steelers in the opening game.

00:00:14Now the kickoff again and here

00:00:16is starring he'll do it again

00:00:17from about the same place.

00:00:21Emily markers again is starring

00:00:23this time is out to the 33 yard

00:00:25line.

00:00:27Thirty five yard return.

00:00:29Again it was Ken Taylor on the

00:00:30tackle.

00:00:32There is a flag on the flag

00:00:35holding against the New England

00:00:36Patriots what they don't need is

00:00:38bad field position to start this

00:00:39second half.

00:00:40Now to remind the New England

00:00:42fans bears defense a lot only

00:00:45ninety five total yards and four

00:00:46first downs in the second half

00:00:47last week against the Tampa Bay

00:00:49Bucs.

00:00:50At this point the Pats have only

00:00:5178 yards total offense so far

00:00:5367 receivers didn't 67 hold on

00:00:59the last kick on the first kick.

00:01:02Well he's got that down.

00:01:03Let's work on something else

00:01:06going to do it till he gets it

00:01:07right.

00:01:08Yes.

00:01:09Only this time it wasn't offset

00:01:11so a good return is negated and

00:01:12the ball is set back to the nine

00:01:14yard line Patriots starting out

00:01:17in a hold open the third quarter

00:01:18and a half and Collins almost

00:01:31broke it for a big one as it was

00:01:33he got a head close to the 17

00:01:35yard line.

00:01:36He just rushed in one play for

00:01:37more yards in the New England

00:01:38Patriots game in the entire

00:01:40first half.

00:01:42Tony works hard.

00:01:43Did that come from easy street.

00:01:45One of 16 children from Kenya in

00:01:47New York.

00:01:48Second round in 81 he's been

00:01:50good second down now just over

00:01:57two for New England Collins to

00:02:01the right.

00:02:02James leads the blockers Collins

00:02:04turns the corner and he has a

00:02:05first down for New England.

00:02:06So the Patriots come out running

00:02:09they get a first down Otis

00:02:10Wilson on the tackle.

00:02:12The interesting thing about

00:02:13these two running backs in

00:02:14tandem both will readily admit

00:02:16that neither likes the block.

00:02:18Normally it's the fullbacks job

00:02:20the block.

00:02:21Greg James in front of Tony

00:02:22Collins appears to do a good job

00:02:24of stringing this out.

00:02:25Collins does get enough for a

00:02:27first down and I believe that's

00:02:28the the New England Patriots

00:02:30first first down rushing of the

00:02:32ballgame.

00:02:34Walter Payton has felt the teeth

00:02:35of this New England defense he

00:02:37now has reported to have bruised

00:02:38ribs and we'll wait and see if

00:02:40he comes back.

00:02:41Here's a handoff again out to

00:02:44the 26 yard line on a first down

00:02:46on the play the Patriots come

00:02:47out of running trying to get

00:02:49that their defense to look for

00:02:50the run and Collins is ahead to

00:02:54the 26 yard line again and five

00:02:56yards on the play is a great one

00:02:58walks the sideline now add to

00:03:00the bad neck Bruce ribs for

00:03:03Walter Payton.

00:03:03They still expect him to return.

00:03:06Amazing thing about Peyton

00:03:10grace on the sideline with

00:03:11a lot of pressure on the

00:03:12defensive end.

00:03:14He's waiting their backs out

00:03:19never takes it down off when

00:03:20he's on the field plays every

00:03:22game like it's his last one

00:03:23every down Collins runs on

00:03:25second down this time the Bears

00:03:27stop it.

00:03:28Steve McMichael the ex-patriot

00:03:30made the hit Harden Stein

00:03:31McMichael Hampton and get the

00:03:32defensive front for Chicago

00:03:35Otis Wilson Mike Singletary and

00:03:36Wilbur Marshall back the line

00:03:38with Richardson and Frazier the

00:03:39third down in the game for the

00:03:41Phillies.

00:03:42It's been all Collins to start

00:03:43the second half done or straight

00:03:45carries he's now got five on the

00:03:47game for 19 yards now to have to

00:03:50throw it or down and yardage

00:03:52would indicate they would it's

00:03:54third down in a long four almost

00:03:55five showing blitz and that

00:04:01paper is just as we said go

00:04:02right to the right.

00:04:04That's one of the ways to beat

00:04:05the Blitz if you can possibly do

00:04:07it.

00:04:07Robert Weathers got a first down

00:04:10to the right kind of squirted

00:04:12right up through there against

00:04:13the Blitz team.

00:04:14They'll do is take gaps

00:04:16especially the Chicago Bear team

00:04:17and if you can just seal one guy

00:04:19off running back any running back

00:04:21and squeeze up through there.

00:04:23So now to first downs both

00:04:25rushing to begin the second half

00:04:26for the New England Patriots

00:04:32stay away from play calling for

00:04:33a while.

00:04:35First in can weather stop

00:04:38and then he's going to go to

00:04:39Marshall they say this marshal

00:04:44can run like a cornerback weather

00:04:46that time on the Blitz just a

00:04:48predetermined inside move he was

00:04:51almost there to take the ball

00:04:52right from the quarterback Mike

00:04:59did get one of the great bear

00:05:01players really only spent six

00:05:03years as a Chicago player

00:05:06contract impasse he then went to

00:05:07Dallas for four five times in

00:05:09all pro four hundred twenty

00:05:12career reception.

00:05:13That's a bunch.

00:05:14Most of them in Wrigley Field

00:05:16say when he was at Pittsburgh he

00:05:17was even better on defense.

00:05:20Eason gets it away as the Blitz

00:05:22Cup Dave Doris in the strong

00:05:25safety at a clear shot at Eason

00:05:27who got the ball away to save a

00:05:29long sack.

00:05:30You see this is the problem in

00:05:31facing the Chicago Bear defense.

00:05:33They don't substitute players so

00:05:35you don't know when they're

00:05:36coming with the rush.

00:05:37You see the defensive lineman

00:05:39consume offensive lineman

00:05:40Dorison free to try to make the

00:05:42sack and almost did this is New

00:05:46England's longest possession

00:05:47almost four minutes eleven

00:05:50thirteen to go now in the third

00:05:52quarter when they show these

00:05:53films in New England Patriots

00:05:55will be out quickly on Tuesday.

00:05:57The defense might be in there

00:05:58for days third and 13 it's got

00:06:06to be a long ball.

00:06:07Eason lets it rip too high.

00:06:11Cedric Jones went up for it had

00:06:13his hands on it and good thing

00:06:15that he did because streaking

00:06:16down the near sideline was Mike

00:06:17Richardson ready to take it and

00:06:19go in.

00:06:20Jones almost got that you can

00:06:22see that Tony Eason right now

00:06:24is a little he's a little

00:06:25flushed.

00:06:27He's had constant pressure

00:06:29throughout the day non receivers

00:06:31open.

00:06:32I think without the kind of

00:06:33pass rush at the Chicago Bears

00:06:35that he's constantly put on he

00:06:38should would make that an easy

00:06:39completion.

00:06:40So Camarillo a long distance

00:06:42putter is standing back at his

00:06:4416 yard line and Taylor a deep

00:06:47man anticipating that boot

00:06:49penalty marker down off sides

00:06:51Chicago Taylor will field it on

00:06:54a fair catch it is 32 to five

00:06:56yards will not give the New

00:06:57England Patriots the first down

00:06:59but they'd like to give Camarillo

00:07:01a chance to kick it again.

00:07:02That was just thirty nine yards

00:07:05left in the third quarter.

00:07:06The Bears continue to lead as

00:07:07they did the half 10 nothing

00:07:09referee Tom Dooley now brings

00:07:10the people back as we had the

00:07:13penalty marker on a thirty nine

00:07:14yard punt by Rich Camarillo the

00:07:16Patriots they're going to turn

00:07:19down the penalty a good point

00:07:27when you look at that yardage no

00:07:28return on the fair catch.

00:07:29That surprises me though.

00:07:31You had five yards to it.

00:07:33I think I'd have made a point

00:07:35again.

00:07:37Back to the action out Jim

00:07:39McMahon drops to throw first

00:07:40down for the Bears.

00:07:41The outlet is too low for Walter

00:07:43Payton as the baseball scores

00:07:45now come in and continue to

00:07:46change.

00:07:47McMahon's first throw of the

00:07:48third quarter with ten fifty four

00:07:51to play in the quarter.

00:07:54He's got a fastball.

00:07:56He's got a fastball.

00:07:57With ten fifty four to play in

00:07:58the quarter Yankees in Toronto

00:08:04scoreless Yankee Stadium sold

00:08:06off for that big games their

00:08:10Mets in Montreal St. Louis and

00:08:11the Cubs in the National League

00:08:12East or did the Cubs go in the

00:08:14shoot or what.

00:08:15After winning it was like

00:08:18facing the American Association

00:08:20pitchers though the opening day

00:08:21their starting lineup nine guys

00:08:23averaged a million dollars a

00:08:24game and throw down the field

00:08:30and the ball is caught by

00:08:31Reitman open field a tight end

00:08:33inside the twenty five and down

00:08:35to the 19 yard line forty nine

00:08:48yards on the catch.

00:08:50Brett Marion once again on the

00:08:51pitch this is a nice little

00:08:55action by the offense.

00:08:56Once again the linebackers must

00:08:58respect the running ability of

00:08:59Walter Payton and you see the

00:09:01single coverage Fred Marion on

00:09:02Reitman who was never going to

00:09:04be an anchorman on anybody's

00:09:06relay team but he can lug it

00:09:07down there as long as nobody

00:09:09catches him.

00:09:10Big first down for the Chicago

00:09:12Bears.

00:09:13Reitman was the first player

00:09:15signed by the U.S. Football

00:09:16League coming out of UCLA.

00:09:17He elected to go with George

00:09:19Allen and the now defunct

00:09:21Chicago Blitz.

00:09:24He's a player he says they can

00:09:25do everything but run well but

00:09:26he's been fast in this game and

00:09:27now Peyton breaks it down inside

00:09:29the 15 yard line as we take a

00:09:33moment to look at the

00:09:35scoreboard NFL 85 on the second

00:09:37Sunday of play Cardinals up on

00:09:39Cincinnati second quarter 17 to

00:09:4114 Houston saying close to

00:09:44Washington after the Redskins

00:09:45led 16 nothing 16 10 now Detroit

00:09:49with a surprise over the

00:09:50Cowboys leading 13 nothing at

00:09:51the half at Pontiac Michigan the

00:09:54Jets doing damage to the

00:09:55Buffalo Bills twenty one to three

00:09:57at the half the Rams only up by

00:09:59four and Miami having a hard

00:10:01time with Indianapolis form

00:10:04chart taking a beating on the

00:10:05second Sunday.

00:10:06Here's the handoff now running

00:10:07with the ball but not very far

00:10:09down to about the 11 yard line

00:10:11was Matt Sui knocked down by

00:10:13Toby Williams Ken Sims Dennis

00:10:18Owens Garen various Toby

00:10:20Williams at all but in that

00:10:21defensive front of the New

00:10:24England Patriots from time to

00:10:25time linebackers with Tippett

00:10:27and Blackmon on the outside

00:10:29Nelson's played a big game

00:10:30inside and Johnny Rembrandt back

00:10:32and doing some hitting for New

00:10:34England Andy Frederick number

00:10:35seventy one offensive tackle

00:10:37just reported to the Bears

00:10:38offense he is an eligible

00:10:40receiver so he tied the medal

00:10:53and if he got there it was just

00:10:54by the football as 824 and

00:10:56running shows on the third

00:10:57quarter clock and the Bears

00:10:58continue to lead 10 to nothing

00:11:00as New England Patriot defense

00:11:01has been on the field for so

00:11:03long to this point in the

00:11:04football game it's not a

00:11:06particularly hot day but

00:11:07eventually the mind is not in

00:11:10this game and to physically

00:11:12they're going to be just worn

00:11:13out.

00:11:16Both down a little bit.

00:11:19I'd say we'll see Sui line up in

00:11:22front of Walter Payton and

00:11:23Walter Payton will cause very

00:11:25flop over the defensive line

00:11:27hopefully for a first down here

00:11:31they come.

00:11:32Sui the fullback Peyton asked

00:11:34the crowd to take it down fourth

00:11:37down in less than a yard so he

00:11:38gets it coming this way man

00:11:41gets it if it's all hitting on

00:11:47him but did they get him down in

00:11:49time fourth and less than a yard

00:11:52Jim McMahon calls his own number

00:11:53and gets it down close.

00:11:54Things get easier for the

00:11:55Patriots next week they go to

00:11:57Buffalo the Bears with a short

00:11:59week they'll be going against

00:12:00the Vikings at Minneapolis on

00:12:01Thursday night surprised at that

00:12:04Jim McMahon is absolutely the

00:12:06cornerstone offense of the

00:12:08offense of the Chicago Bears I

00:12:10think if I were Mike did guy

00:12:12would not put a guy who last

00:12:14year suffered a lacerated kidney

00:12:15in any jeopardy whatsoever

00:12:17somebody throws an elbow in

00:12:18there on your quarterback last

00:12:19year the Bears had five

00:12:21quarterbacks start various

00:12:22sundry games for the Peyton even

00:12:24took some snaps late in the

00:12:25season I'd hand it to anybody

00:12:27standing behind McMahon they

00:12:30didn't make it so the Patriots

00:12:33Patriots hold and they'll get

00:12:35the ball back when we come back

00:12:36to Soldier Field in Chicago with

00:12:38the Bears in the lead 10 to

00:12:39nothing.

00:12:44A honey bear looks to the skies

00:12:46the Chicago Bears though just

00:12:48look to a yard on fourth down

00:12:49and couldn't get it on a

00:12:50quarterback keep it so the

00:12:52Patriots take over the ball but

00:12:53again deep in their own area

00:12:54they've been shut out so far

00:12:55it's 10 nothing bears in the

00:12:57third quarter seven forty nine to

00:12:59the Patriots play in it hard run

00:13:03and a harder hit as Craig James

00:13:06takes it straight ahead and a

00:13:08big game against the Packers

00:13:09running for ninety nine yards

00:13:11and twelve carries averaged over

00:13:13eight yards a run Dan Hampton on

00:13:14the tackle there you say on the

00:13:16scoreboard for the New England

00:13:18Patriots something that the

00:13:20Bears fans are used to this

00:13:22defense allowed nine or less

00:13:23points in eight of the 16 games

00:13:25that they played in 1984 and

00:13:27they lost to the Tampa Bay Bucs

00:13:29last week in the second half

00:13:36Tony Collins trying to go wide

00:13:38Otis Wilson runs with him and so

00:13:40does Dewarson bring up third

00:13:46down now and about four for New

00:13:49England.

00:13:50Patriots haven't been close.

00:13:51Mike Singletary he'll tackle

00:13:53anybody that comes close.

00:13:55Just get in my way.

00:13:56I'll throw you to the ground.

00:13:57He's a strong guy but I'm sure

00:13:58he left an impression for the

00:14:04Bear defense fired now.

00:14:06They want to stop everybody they

00:14:07play and last time I heard the

00:14:10long number went to a draw got

00:14:14yardage do it again.

00:14:17Nothing there though is the

00:14:18ball carrier Tony Collins was

00:14:20chopped by his own man had been

00:14:21taken down so the Patriots will

00:14:25have to punt the ball and

00:14:26throw it back to him.

00:14:27They're in zone as 650 shows on

00:14:30the third quarter clock and

00:14:31Singletary continues to be a

00:14:32force for the Bears.

00:14:33He is an exceptional player on

00:14:35touch.

00:14:36He just knocks the player back.

00:14:38Craig James back into the

00:14:40running back and Collins has got

00:14:43no place to go.

00:14:51Three plays and out once again

00:14:53for the New England Patriots

00:14:57and the Red Sox Gamma Ray I will

00:15:00hit the ball at about his three

00:15:02big rush.

00:15:03He gets it away and really

00:15:04unloads Taylor and Taylor back

00:15:07at his thirty five has room to

00:15:08return.

00:15:12He's out to the 48 yard line.

00:15:14Taylor 52 yard pot and a 13

00:15:18yard return by Ken Taylor.

00:15:21So the Bears who got down close

00:15:22the last time it couldn't get

00:15:23points now take over with 6 0 7

00:15:2610 Chicago and we come back on

00:15:32Easton can't move the offense on

00:15:34the sidelines as the Bears have

00:15:35the ball back in his

00:15:36counterpart Jim McMahon comes

00:15:38out with Chicago in the lead 10

00:15:39nothing first and 10 bears 48

00:15:42yard line is Chicago long ball

00:15:48is out there when he got inside

00:15:51the 10 yard line he got the ball

00:16:05over Ray Claiborne this is

00:16:08straight drop back pass by

00:16:10McMahon golf can't make the easy

00:16:12pitch certainly can't make the

00:16:14tough catch first and 10 for the

00:16:17Chicago Bears that sure does

00:16:24something for your per catch

00:16:25average Willie golf came in he

00:16:27got four last week for 60 yards

00:16:29that's his first of the day for

00:16:3044 so now the Bears challenge as

00:16:34they finally go deep to their

00:16:35burner Willie golf first and

00:16:37go down to the two yard line

00:16:42I've just taken the heart out of

00:16:44this New England defense just

00:16:45been on the field so long that

00:16:47I think they realize now that

00:16:49the offense is going to have a

00:16:50very difficult time scoring if

00:16:51they score it all it's all on

00:16:53the shoulders of this New

00:16:54England defense and it's a heavy

00:16:55load and we pause briefly for

00:16:57station identification.

00:16:58This is the NBC television

00:17:00network you're watching Channel

00:17:0317 WTVO Rockford this is Don

00:17:09Craigie with Bob Trump he sold

00:17:10your field in Chicago the Bears

00:17:12lead the game 10 nothing the

00:17:13Patriot defense being tested but

00:17:15the Chicago Bears have been

00:17:16trying to get the ball in the

00:17:17field the last time the Bears

00:17:19were down close and couldn't get

00:17:20points down the Chicago Bears

00:17:23have an injury Jimbo Clover went

00:17:24to the went to the sideline I

00:17:27don't think they had the right

00:17:28offense and then McMahon takes

00:17:30the timeout as the Chicago Bears

00:17:34are driving Tony Eason on the

00:17:36sideline look at those stats

00:17:37first time in his career he's

00:17:38known for two interceptions and

00:17:40the Chicago Bears have totally

00:17:42frustrated the offense of the

00:17:44other way up the yards have not

00:17:45been easy for Walter Payton with

00:17:47eleven carries for thirty nine

00:17:48yards he's fumbled the ball once

00:17:50now the Bears looking to take

00:17:52command of this game if in fact

00:17:54they're not there already with a

00:17:5510 nothing lead in the Patriots

00:17:56unable to challenge so far

00:17:58Chicago goes second and goal

00:18:00from the Patriots two yard line

00:18:02head to the wing back well

00:18:09silly Peyton blocks that silly

00:18:11turns the corner and gets down

00:18:13to the one yard line it's a

00:18:15great tackle by Ray Claiborne to

00:18:16keep him out of the end zone

00:18:18outstanding tackle by Ray

00:18:20Claiborne he allowed passes over

00:18:22him Don Blackman fifty five

00:18:25there I'll see this block yeah

00:18:27he's an excellent blocker always

00:18:28has been but Claiborne is the

00:18:30guy he's trying to block you see

00:18:32fifty two also chasing him out

00:18:33of bounds Johnny Rembert that's

00:18:36a great tackle by Ray Claiborne

00:18:40one of the great athletes in the

00:18:41league right there Raymond

00:18:42Claiborne that New England

00:18:44defense though has been very

00:18:46formidable on the short yardage

00:18:47play linebackers down in three

00:18:50points as they fill in the gaps

00:18:52they get in and still no signal

00:19:03the ball is down to the goal

00:19:05line but apparently it's not

00:19:06over now they're going to untie

00:19:07the referee Tom Dooley stepping

00:19:09in he didn't get there though

00:19:12he's got a great look at it as

00:19:32to whether or not Matt Sui's

00:19:33inner he gets hit early right

00:19:35there I can't tell who made the

00:19:37contact good job by someone

00:19:40getting in there but that's a

00:19:42good point I just wish they'd

00:19:43make it quick Kevin Butler now

00:19:46Kevin Butler is on the field

00:19:47looking to put up a 17th point

00:19:49for Chicago with 416 to play in

00:19:51the third quarter a penalty

00:19:58marker before the snap of the

00:19:59ball lineman moved in there and

00:20:03move it back five yards try it

00:20:04again shouldn't bother Butler

00:20:06he's got a good look at it he's

00:20:07got a good look at it he's hit

00:20:08him he's hit him he's hit him

00:20:17horn the right tackle was called

00:20:19for the early motion and so now

00:20:22the ball is set back the

00:20:24equivalent of a twenty five yard

00:20:25hit right there is Kevin Butler

00:20:41the rookie from Georgia as

00:20:43people start up after the kick

00:20:46and black when he's a polo to

00:20:48take on that's when you're glad

00:20:51you got a helmet on and a

00:20:52baseball to cause any damage

00:20:54unless it's to the unsure

00:20:56broken bit somewhere for plays

00:20:59fifty one yards a minute and

00:21:00fifty one seconds a touchdown by

00:21:03suey a one yard run set up by

00:21:05the forty three yard pass to

00:21:06Willie golf once again in all

00:21:09this humanity the officials

00:21:11determined that that suey is in

00:21:12the end zone it looks like it

00:21:19looks like it's in the end zone

00:21:20it looks like it's in the end

00:21:21zone.

00:21:22Mark Headley markers put on that

00:21:23Trump as their post fight

00:21:28aftermath results in many a

00:21:29personal foul call coming up

00:21:32last week the Chicago Bears had

00:21:34three personal fouls called on

00:21:36their linebackers against the

00:21:38Tampa Bay Bucs you may mention

00:21:40that first half there was a time

00:21:42a number of years ago when the

00:21:43Bears couldn't win I was not

00:21:45really convinced that they

00:21:46wanted to win.

00:21:48I mean in bad years they've been

00:21:49tough.

00:21:50Oh yeah.

00:21:51Oh yeah.

00:21:52You do you play the Chicago Bears

00:21:53are we.

00:21:53Yes.

00:21:54Daddy we didn't play that off

00:21:55and sprinkle and build George in

00:21:57the boys.

00:21:58Years ago they were throwing the

00:21:59helmet.

00:22:03And they tip it through a

00:22:04challenge.

00:22:05Rule number one when the fight

00:22:06start don't take your head off

00:22:07ever ever and always run for the

00:22:10quarterback.

00:22:11He's never going to throw a

00:22:13So a 15 yard call against

00:22:15New England on the personal

00:22:16foul on the ball being kicked

00:22:19off by Butler from midfield.

00:22:24Bears are now going against the

00:22:26Patriots for quarters and almost

00:22:28eleven minutes without allowing

00:22:30their opponents to score a

00:22:31point.

00:22:32He said he has to come out

00:22:33throwing out that in the

00:22:34baseball game.

00:22:36He's got to get the ball out of

00:22:37the field.

00:22:37He's got to get the ball out of

00:22:38the field.

00:22:39He's got to get the ball out of

00:22:39the field.

00:22:40He's got to get the ball out of

00:22:41the field.

00:22:41I'm not throwing out.

00:22:42And the bears are going to run

00:22:44it when they get it.

00:22:45And that's it has no option but

00:22:47to start putting the ball up and

00:22:48every now and that's exactly

00:22:49what the Bears like because

00:22:50they'll continue with that

00:22:51pressure defense.

00:22:55Down 17 nothing with 416 to play

00:22:57in the third quarter.

00:23:00Or do you still keep running it.

00:23:03The way the big kids right now

00:23:04are frustrated but you don't

00:23:05want to just kill their their

00:23:06their attitude or their

00:23:08enthusiasm.

00:23:09But with a number of sacks he's

00:23:15out to the 16 yard line with a

00:23:17bear special teams covers well

00:23:20with Cliff led the way as he

00:23:22soon gets his final

00:23:23instructions the Cardinals now

00:23:24leading Cincinnati twenty four

00:23:26to fourteen Houston and

00:23:29Washington having a tight game

00:23:31and day has kick and field goals

00:23:32for the Oilers has brought them

00:23:33back to within three while Troy

00:23:36this is unbelievable Dallas

00:23:38often routing the Redskins 44

00:23:39to 14 Monday night and today the

00:23:41underdog Lions are winning big

00:23:43and so are the Jets and a

00:23:45coaching change could be

00:23:46imminent at Buffalo depending on

00:23:48the outcome of that game

00:23:50standing back to throw his

00:23:52Eastern out of the backfield he

00:23:53goes to Tony Collins with good

00:23:54hands he puts on the move and

00:23:56gets across the 20 Miami up on

00:24:03Indianapolis 16 to 7 that game

00:24:05is now in the third quarter play

00:24:09and I said it's a tough choice

00:24:10now for Raymond Berry you don't

00:24:11want to air it out completely

00:24:14because the Patriots already

00:24:15frustrated you certainly don't

00:24:17want Eason hurt.

00:24:18Patriots only have two

00:24:19quarterbacks on their roster

00:24:21decent and Steve Brogan has the

00:24:23quarterback of the future.

00:24:25I want to keep him healthy.

00:24:28He's in Leicester and gets his

00:24:29man Derek Ramsey that tight end

00:24:31breaks into open field and he's

00:24:33across the thirty five and up to

00:24:35the forty a big gainer for the

00:24:37Patriots 19 yards and now Bob

00:24:39Crosby OK Don after first

00:24:43falling behind the Bengals 14 7

00:24:45in the first half the cards come

00:24:46back to take the lead.

00:24:47Here's Lomax to Roy Green a

00:24:49familiar combination beautiful

00:24:50fingertip catch by Roy faster

00:24:53than a speeding bullet green.

00:24:54The cards now lead by 10 in the

00:24:55third Bengals and coach watch

00:25:00off to a tough start locked in a

00:25:03great game we saw last Sunday

00:25:04trumpet Cincinnati with Seattle

00:25:06coming from behind to win.

00:25:07Jerry takes it down to the 16

00:25:09yard line.

00:25:10He's in third interception

00:25:16single Terry having an all pro

00:25:18day with two sacks and now an

00:25:20interception.

00:25:21Now this is a chance to take now

00:25:23against the defense like this.

00:25:25You start throwing the ball up

00:25:26you see the pressure once again

00:25:27Hampton ninety nine.

00:25:29He should not set to throw it.

00:25:31Collins the intended receiver

00:25:33single Terry right there to pick

00:25:35it off.

00:25:36Twenty five yards on the return

00:25:40was the last time the New

00:25:41England Patriots were shut out.

00:25:43It's looking that way right now.

00:25:45Nineteen eighty three were cold

00:25:47Cleveland thirty to nothing.

00:25:54It may happen again today.

00:25:56The Bears though staff what

00:25:57looked like might be a New

00:25:58England drive and now the Bears

00:26:00challenging again leading 17

00:26:02nothing late in the third

00:26:03quarter.

00:26:04It's a big game.

00:26:06McMahon wants it quick.

00:26:08Goes out and gets it.

00:26:09Emory more heady's inside the

00:26:1115 yard line.

00:26:14But Marion ran him out.

00:26:15But the Bears get closer with

00:26:17three minutes to play in the

00:26:18third quarter.

00:26:21Now the Chicago Bears can

00:26:24play conservative often.

00:26:25They don't have to throw the

00:26:26ball down the field although

00:26:29they probably still will.

00:26:31Mike did get looking at the

00:26:32rest of this season with this

00:26:33defense without two starters

00:26:36Bell and Harris playing in the

00:26:39manner in which they have

00:26:41opening two weeks of the season.

00:26:43Mike Singletary consensus on

00:26:46pro now in Chicago.

00:26:47He was twice the most valuable

00:26:48player in the Southwest

00:26:49Conference playing at Baylor

00:26:52and Dennis Gentry is one tough

00:26:56customer he's not big.

00:26:57He's another Baylor bear played

00:27:01together with Singletary at

00:27:02Baylor frustration now by the New

00:27:04England Patriots player never

00:27:06likes to get embarrassed.

00:27:09Seventeen to nothing as much

00:27:11time as the defense has been on

00:27:13the field today for the New

00:27:14England Patriots.

00:27:18Last week against the Packers a

00:27:20pretty good football team.

00:27:21New England Patriots led twenty

00:27:23six to six with six minutes to

00:27:24go had some problems handling

00:27:26putts though fumbled a few and

00:27:27the Packers got back in the

00:27:29game.

00:27:30New England winning twenty six

00:27:31to 20.

00:27:33The Bears were down twenty eight

00:27:34seventeen to Tampa Bay at

00:27:35halftime last week and then

00:27:36rallied to win thirty eight to

00:27:38twenty eight here at Soldier

00:27:39Field now on third down and

00:27:41short the Patriots are there to

00:27:43stop the run and again it's

00:27:44fourth down and short yardage

00:27:45for defense is that their

00:27:47defense has played exceptional

00:27:49football today football the game

00:27:52clock winding down in the third

00:27:53quarter one fifty four and

00:27:54running now as the Bears send

00:27:56out the field goal unit.

00:27:58Bears have made a couple of

00:27:59big plays gets by Reitman the

00:28:01catch by golf the catch by

00:28:03McKinnon and other than that the

00:28:05New England Patriots defense has

00:28:06played very respectable

00:28:07football.

00:28:12Kevin Butler is setting up now

00:28:14and his 18 yard line of New

00:28:17England so it'll be a 28 yard

00:28:18field goal.

00:28:22The fuller holds.

00:28:25Butler is on the money again

00:28:26with one twenty two to play in

00:28:27the third quarter the Bears now

00:28:28in front 20 to nothing over New

00:28:30England Barry has to go to game

00:29:04Your team plays here on NBC

00:29:06Sports Raymond Barry one of the

00:29:09greatest handed receivers that

00:29:10ever played the game.

00:29:11That is one set of them.

00:29:13The man could catch a BB in the

00:29:14dark.

00:29:16This is his 10th game as a head

00:29:17coach of the New England

00:29:18Patriots.

00:29:19You knew this ballgame his

00:29:21record as a head coach five and

00:29:22four and across the way coach

00:29:26looking like he's got a sure

00:29:27thing in his pocket although the

00:29:29Bears will be almost impossible

00:29:31to beat now unless he can hit

00:29:32the big plays again starring runs

00:29:36back to kick off and he returns

00:29:41it nicely out across the 30 yard

00:29:43line Sean Gale down on special

00:29:47teams for the Bears and he's in

00:29:48and the Patriot offense come back

00:29:50out twenty five yards on the

00:29:53Raymond Barry now the offensive

00:29:55coordinator and the head coach

00:29:58of the New England Patriots

00:29:59scoring all Chicago Bears scored

00:30:05on their first possession then

00:30:06their next five they had a turn

00:30:08the ball over and upon it.

00:30:10I was going to feel go before

00:30:12half time and let it to have 10

00:30:13nothing.

00:30:14They've not double that to 20 to

00:30:15nothing late in the third

00:30:16quarter.

00:30:18He said those in control of the

00:30:21throws and completes it to Derek

00:30:23Ramsey who's out to the 41 yard

00:30:25line close to a first down.

00:30:27Looks like he got about nine on

00:30:28the play.

00:30:29Dave Dorsen covering that's over

00:30:34my three all five to one on the

00:30:36fifth comes in the Cardinals

00:30:37scoreless.

00:30:38Look at the Blue Jays and the

00:30:39Yankees who won that yesterday.

00:30:43Toronto six nothing Toronto over

00:30:47by three and a half on the

00:30:48Yankees dominating on defense.

00:30:58Let's bet it all pro middle

00:30:59linebacker Mike Singletary was

00:31:02with some great middle

00:31:03linebackers with this franchise.

00:31:05Bill George Dick Butkus and now

00:31:07Singletary.

00:31:08And I'll tell you I think if I

00:31:09was in the way with Patriots at

00:31:10first I would have been a

00:31:11singletary.

00:31:12I think I would have been a

00:31:13singletary.

00:31:13I think I would have been a

00:31:14singletary.

00:31:15And I'll tell you I think if I

00:31:16was in the way with Patriots I'd

00:31:17burn this film offensively.

00:31:20This is such a frustrating day

00:31:21and I'm not sure it's the New

00:31:22England Patriots as much as it

00:31:24is the Chicago Bears defense.

00:31:26They're going to do this to a

00:31:27lot of football teams this year

00:31:28did last year.

00:31:29You just got to put it out of

00:31:30your mind and go on.

00:31:32Patriots 2 of 10 and third down

00:31:34conversion so far.

00:31:36We'll be back after these

00:31:38messages from your local

00:31:39station.

00:31:45Third down and four now for New

00:31:47England.

00:31:49Mason.

00:31:51Missed connection and that'll

00:31:53happen because Doris in the

00:31:54strong safety again came out of

00:31:56the nail Tony.

00:31:58Bears are going to go to another

00:31:59quarterback.

00:31:59When they get the ball back

00:32:00right now they're warming up.

00:32:02James never really look back at

00:32:04the quarterback.

00:32:05He had no chance whatsoever.

00:32:07But the domination.

00:32:10Hundred and thirty seven total

00:32:11yards of offense.

00:32:12This is not a bad offensive team

00:32:14last week they had 400 and 10

00:32:15yards.

00:32:23Back to a rookie wide receiver

00:32:25from TCU.

00:32:34This comes up on the bottom is

00:32:36the price as he goes to the 25

00:32:38yard line.

00:32:40Now back to enter 85.

00:32:47Don Freeman McNeil is having a

00:32:49terrific day.

00:32:49Watch the tackle by Martin

00:32:51Bayless up around the throat.

00:32:52It precipitated a fight the

00:32:54Jets didn't appreciate it.

00:32:57I still think Hank Fuller could

00:33:00be a good hitter.

00:33:01I think he's a good hitter.

00:33:02He's a good hitter.

00:33:03He's a good hitter.

00:33:04He's a good hitter.

00:33:05I think Hank Fuller could be the

00:33:06coach of the Buffalo Bills by

00:33:08tomorrow morning.

00:33:10The owner is very very unhappy

00:33:11after they played very poorly in

00:33:13the preseason two games into the

00:33:15season and morning when it was

00:33:18in the preseason were beaten by

00:33:19the Bears 47 to 14 almost

00:33:23happened then.

00:33:27You're running back in the game

00:33:29now moving the ball for Chicago

00:33:30is Thomas Sanders and he breaks

00:33:32it down to the 45 yard line.

00:33:35This is too bad for the New

00:33:37England Patriots.

00:33:37Nineteen yards on the carry.

00:33:40The steam is out of this

00:33:41defense.

00:33:43The offense has not been able to

00:33:44generate anything for New

00:33:45England responsibility on the

00:33:48shoulders of the New England

00:33:49defense and in the Bears to 20

00:33:52points is not really bad.

00:33:53They've only allowed a couple

00:33:54three big plays but Donahue has

00:33:59kicked another field goal for

00:34:01the Cardinals.

00:34:01They lead the Bengals twenty

00:34:03seven seventeen late in the

00:34:04third quarter man saved by the

00:34:20sideline.

00:34:22Ronnie Lippitt in pursuit had a

00:34:26hard time telling if that was

00:34:28accidentally or on purpose.

00:34:29I can't believe it.

00:34:31Here's the defense of the 20

00:34:33offense lead in that defense

00:34:35snorting fire looking to hurt

00:34:37somebody.

00:34:38There's the offense of the New

00:34:39England Patriots special teams

00:34:41players a lot of teams leave

00:34:49soldier fear with long faces.

00:34:51We saw a great Denver team come

00:34:52in here last year and get

00:34:53blasted twenty four to nothing

00:34:55and that was the score at the

00:34:56half.

00:34:57Denver rebounded to make New

00:34:59England must do.

00:35:01That's what Barry was saying

00:35:02last night.

00:35:03You're going to get it handed to

00:35:04you a lot of days in this league

00:35:05is what you do when you have to

00:35:06come back.

00:35:08That was a design rollout.

00:35:10Julius Adams and Toby Williams

00:35:14there to make the tackle.

00:35:15Excuse me.

00:35:15That was Toby Williams.

00:35:18That was a design rollout trying

00:35:19to get the ball to Emory

00:35:20Moorhead.

00:35:21Toby Williams right there to

00:35:22make the tackle 43.

00:35:25So the game clock shows 14 25

00:35:28running to play as the Chicago

00:35:30Bears have third down and about

00:35:3212 coming up ball position at

00:35:35their 43 yard line.

00:35:36They open the scoring on their

00:35:37first drive of the day when Jim

00:35:38McMahon hit Dennis McKinnon on

00:35:39the 32 yard scoring pass play

00:35:42and shortly before half Butler

00:35:43kick the field goal it was 10

00:35:44nothing.

00:35:45So he got in from less than a

00:35:47yard out to give the Bears a

00:35:49late third quarter lead 17

00:35:51nothing that has since been

00:35:52extended on a Butler field goal

00:35:53to 20 to nothing.

00:35:54That's how it stands now.

00:35:56And he's going to be up.

00:35:58And Jim's coming hard.

00:36:00Today the Chicago Bears put Jim

00:36:03McMahon in an awful lot of

00:36:04jeopardy.

00:36:05They don't mind.

00:36:06I believe leading 20 to nothing.

00:36:08They got a quarterback who's on

00:36:09the injury list played his first

00:36:11regular season game last Sunday

00:36:12since November 5th the last year

00:36:14and is throwing the ball with a

00:36:1520 to nothing lead let the guy

00:36:17get a full hit from a 280 pound

00:36:19defensive lineman.

00:36:21Sounds like you don't want to

00:36:22get hit.

00:36:23I don't want to get hit.

00:36:24I don't want to get hit.

00:36:25I don't want to get hit.

00:36:26I don't want to get hit.

00:36:27I don't want to get hit.

00:36:27Sounds like you don't like that

00:36:28idea.

00:36:29Neither do I.

00:36:30I'm sure McMahon doesn't either.

00:36:32I know one thing you're going to

00:36:33end up the Bears have a chance to

00:36:34go to the Super Bowl I think

00:36:35with this defense but they're

00:36:36not going to get near it without

00:36:37McMahon.

00:36:38I agree.

00:36:39Give it to Suey give it to

00:36:39Gentry give it to anybody but

00:36:41Jim McMahon they got no points

00:36:50at all against the forty niners

00:36:54and they've got the ball back

00:36:55now with thirteen forty two to

00:36:57play in the game and we'll be

00:37:03back to a soldier feel in

00:37:04Chicago right after this Steve

00:37:10Fuller the man who quarterback

00:37:11the Bears in that NFC

00:37:12championship game after Jim

00:37:13McMahon suffered the season

00:37:15ending injury is now in to

00:37:16direct the Chicago offense will

00:37:19be very shortly.

00:37:20The Patriots right now have the

00:37:21ball first and 10 Fuller has

00:37:23been warming up.

00:37:24He's been exposed to some big

00:37:25hits even though the Bears are

00:37:26leading 20 to nothing on his

00:37:27scrambling the last time he got

00:37:29the full force of Kenneth Sims

00:37:31the two hundred eighty pound

00:37:32defensive end.

00:37:33Now he's in in the Patriot

00:37:35offense setting up they'll have

00:37:36the ball first and 10 from their

00:37:3831 yard line third sack of the

00:37:48day totally untouched ran a game

00:37:51up front Hampton had a hold of

00:37:53the ball and he's got a good

00:37:54offensive guard and tackle with

00:37:57great foot speed comes from the

00:37:59outside and he got the starter

00:38:04still in there.

00:38:05Watch again from the left hand

00:38:06side of the screen you see that

00:38:08goes all the way around the

00:38:09right guard Brock gets caught up

00:38:11in the in the blocking scheme.

00:38:13He has no chance single Terry

00:38:15showing blitz he does not get a

00:38:18little time but the bear defense

00:38:22he's in sees the end of the play

00:38:24from the ground was knocked down

00:38:25again.

00:38:27Now we're told that Jim McMahon

00:38:29has a neck injury and won't

00:38:30return to the game.

00:38:32I would hope so.

00:38:34Tell you what the problem with

00:38:35having a head coach like Mike

00:38:37Ditka who is a guy I really

00:38:38admire.

00:38:39He's one of the real gritty guys

00:38:41that played in the NFL.

00:38:42He didn't like these pansy

00:38:43quarterbacks saying I got a

00:38:44stiff neck I can't play coaches

00:38:46what get out there.

00:38:47I played with stiff neck broken

00:38:49bones bruised ribs bad feet.

00:38:52Old legs.

00:38:54Get out there and play.

00:38:55Defense going to take it so far

00:38:57though McMahon is a tremendous

00:38:59winning quarterback.

00:39:00He is a winning player.

00:39:01That's just a guy with big

00:39:02numbers.

00:39:13He said has become a tackling

00:39:15dummy as the New England pass

00:39:17offenses in after blocking the

00:39:19blitzing Chicago Bears last

00:39:21year the Patriots gave up 66

00:39:24sacks only one team in the NFL

00:39:25gave up more.

00:39:26Atlanta gave up 67.

00:39:28The problem is they don't change

00:39:30personnel Chicago when they go

00:39:32to this defense.

00:39:33So the offense never has anyone

00:39:35to really key on the blitz will

00:39:37come from anywhere.

00:39:39There is fourth sack today six

00:39:41now on the season.

00:39:45Ditka is also a hard line NFC

00:39:47man and his whole career as a

00:39:50player is a coach in the

00:39:51national conference and he wants

00:39:53to beat the American Conference

00:39:54as much as he can and by as big

00:39:56a margin as he can.

00:39:59Great point by Camarillo against

00:40:01an all out run.

00:40:02Mannis takes it back to his 40

00:40:07and the Patriots special teamers

00:40:08make the knockdown of the 42

00:40:09yard line 50 yard punt just a

00:40:12two yard return.

00:40:13He's been a bright spot for the

00:40:15Patriots.

00:40:17So Camarillo goes off and we'll

00:40:18be back after this.

00:40:24Skin in the game.

00:40:25He threw 21 times completed 13.

00:40:27You can see that's a very

00:40:28serious sore neck.

00:40:30They kept him in kept him

00:40:32throwing kept him running.

00:40:33Now they're paying a price.

00:40:34Two hundred and thirty two yards

00:40:36a touchdown and an interception.

00:40:38He got hurt running the throw

00:40:39with the Bears leading 20 to

00:40:41nothing in the fourth quarter.

00:40:42He's going to go to the run and

00:40:43carry his up close to the 45

00:40:45yard line.

00:40:46You guys start up.

00:40:47There's going to be a foul call

00:40:48on lipid and Marjoram.

00:40:50They were knocking on each

00:40:51other as we check the baseball

00:40:53scoreboard.

00:40:54Let's continue to lead Montreal

00:40:56Cardinals now moved in front of

00:40:57the Cubs won nothing.

00:40:59Rano up on the Yankees 6 nothing

00:41:02L.A. blown away everybody in the

00:41:04West and of course next week

00:41:05they're going to be in the

00:41:06Patriots.

00:41:07They're going to be in the

00:41:07Patriots.

00:41:08They're going to be in the

00:41:08Patriots.

00:41:09They're going to be in the

00:41:09Patriots.

00:41:09They're going to be in the

00:41:10Patriots.

00:41:10They're going to be in the Patriots

00:41:11They're going to be in the

00:41:11NBC Sports continues its

00:41:13coverage of the 85 baseball

00:41:14season.

00:41:15Some of you will see the Yankees

00:41:17go into Baltimore to take on the

00:41:19Orioles.

00:41:19Others will watch the Expos play

00:41:21the Cardinals in St. Louis

00:41:22coverage begins at 1 o'clock

00:41:23Eastern Time Eastern Time with

00:41:26Major League Baseball and inside

00:41:27look.

00:41:28The tradition is here.

00:41:29The memories are waiting on the

00:41:30network of the 1985 League

00:41:32Championship Series.

00:41:35New England Patriots today have

00:41:37hunted nine home runs in the

00:41:39season and the Yankees today

00:41:41have hunted nine times so the

00:41:49ball is down to the 40 yard line

00:41:51a record for the Patriots in a

00:41:52single game is 11 points first

00:41:57in 10 Chicago with Steve Fuller

00:41:59a quarterback and the Bears in

00:42:00the lead 20 to nothing.

00:42:03Calvin Thomas two hundred forty

00:42:09two.

00:42:10He's got to run Ronnie Lippitt on

00:42:12the tackle just blowing away an

00:42:15excellent defense which is

00:42:16tragic to watch so much of this

00:42:19game is spirit enthusiasm when

00:42:23your offense can't generate any

00:42:25yards or points twenty seven

00:42:26twenty now.

00:42:27He's coming back on St. Louis to

00:42:29reach a forty seven yard field

00:42:31goal in the fourth quarter a lot

00:42:33of time to play 13 20 in that

00:42:35time he was up by seven Calvin

00:42:51Thomas on our first down carry

00:42:52got only to the line of

00:42:53scrimmage.

00:42:54Kenneth Sims 77 throw off the

00:42:56blocker and hit him big Kenneth

00:43:00Sims who is the number one

00:43:01player picked in the NFL the year

00:43:03he was in Texas now in his

00:43:05fourth year and his bucko kill

00:43:07Roy the Patriot front office

00:43:08says there's no more excuses for

00:43:10Kenneth Sims this is the area

00:43:11has to start to show some and he

00:43:12did at his best game ever last

00:43:14Sunday two of those first picks

00:43:16in the draft play for the New

00:43:18England Patriots prior and

00:43:21he's going to get it out of

00:43:23Sanders and a second down and 10

00:43:35carry gets to about the 30 yard

00:43:37line and bring a third down and

00:43:4010 for Chicago got an

00:43:44interesting matchup here Ken

00:43:46Margerie and Ronnie Lippert are

00:43:48really going at each other at

00:43:49the end of the field Oh look at

00:43:52that this is a team the Patriots

00:43:54last year were an excellent

00:43:56running football team and last

00:43:57week had two hundred and eight

00:43:59yards rushing and just as

00:44:01impressively a lot only fifty

00:44:03nine of the Packers so the

00:44:05Bears you might be looking at a

00:44:07definite contender for the

00:44:08Super Bowl in New Orleans which

00:44:10you'll see on NBC Sports in

00:44:11January.

00:44:13They seem to have the pieces

00:44:14together here's a stick on a

00:44:16blitz by Don Blackman and Fuller

00:44:19and he's going to get the ball

00:44:20off and last year has helped

00:44:21from the turf but he'll stay in

00:44:23the game and now the Bears will

00:44:26have to punt the ball or if

00:44:30Buford comes back out to

00:44:31England we'll get the ball 948

00:44:33to play the clock running and

00:44:35the Patriots trailing 20 to

00:44:36nothing.

00:44:37They have never in this game

00:44:39been even remotely close to

00:44:41scoring points.

00:44:43They were across midfield once

00:44:45in the first half they got to

00:44:46the forty nine the next play

00:44:48they were penalized and went

00:44:49down and they were sacked not

00:44:51penalized set that's happened

00:44:55what three times three sacks

00:44:57single Terry has to four sacks

00:44:59at the count now and over and

00:45:02punt by Buford Friar feels that

00:45:03it is can the fair catching the

00:45:05ball Gentry and Lippert are

00:45:10changing pushes again a 30 yard

00:45:12punt the Patriot offense comes

00:45:14out that pop gun power so far

00:45:18and they're going to have to

00:45:19wait and see if they can

00:45:20generate something down the

00:45:21stretch back at Soldier Field in

00:45:28Chicago the bad news for Patriot

00:45:30fans is New England's losing to

00:45:32these powerful bears 20 to

00:45:33nothing.

00:45:34The good news Trump is the

00:45:35Patriots go to Buffalo next week

00:45:36yeah.

00:45:37Raymond Barry talked to us last

00:45:38night about how his team

00:45:39responds to winning and to

00:45:41losing.

00:45:42I don't think he's expected to

00:45:45be beaten by this amount but he

00:45:46has a good team response to

00:45:47losing it to this performance.

00:45:50He's still in the game still

00:45:51pitching last run downfield as a

00:45:53man up but this could go to

00:45:55distance.

00:45:55James is on the run.

00:45:56This is going to be a touchdown

00:45:58for the Patriots 90 yards and

00:46:01the Patriots are in the end zone.

00:46:03James beat the linebacker and

00:46:05Tony Eason standing in against

00:46:07an all out rush throws a perfect

00:46:09ball.

00:46:10So the Patriots finally explode

00:46:12and get on the board a 90 yard

00:46:13pass play to the most unlikely

00:46:16hitter of the year.

00:46:17Wilbur Marshall delivers a James

00:46:19has got good speed but it

00:46:21doesn't come close to the speed

00:46:23of Stanley Morgan.

00:46:23Stephen starring Cedric Jones

00:46:26from the shotgun.

00:46:28Not a lot of pressure on Eason

00:46:30this time.

00:46:31Well he does get right there

00:46:33just as he throw it.

00:46:34This is a great catch.

00:46:35You see Wilbur Marshall.

00:46:37I'm surprised that James can

00:46:38outrun Wilbur Marshall.

00:46:40Marshall is supposed to have

00:46:41like four six feet speed maybe

00:46:43James has four or five big play.

00:46:45He's the only guy in the history

00:46:47of the Patriots previous longest

00:46:49was 87 yards and the first time

00:46:51the Bears have allowed a

00:46:52touchdown in the last six

00:46:53quarters.

00:46:57Johnny Franklin makes a rare

00:46:59appearance this afternoon hits

00:47:00the point after the twelve

00:47:03seconds for Eason to take his

00:47:05drop and unload and for Greg

00:47:07James to get into the end zone

00:47:09with a big bandaid.

00:47:10Greg James has on his chin.

00:47:12Wonder if he got that today.

00:47:15He's got a big bandaid on his

00:47:16chin.

00:47:17That's got to make New England

00:47:19feel a little better.

00:47:23This is a tough throw by the

00:47:26receiver is going straight away

00:47:27from him and a very difficult

00:47:29catch made by Greg James.

00:47:32That's right on the money.

00:47:35Made that move away from Wilbur

00:47:36Marshall and in he goes.

00:47:40Williams finally knocked

00:47:41Singletary off the play the

00:47:43completion of a 90 yard

00:47:44touchdown for Johnny Eason.

00:47:46Greg James the longest in

00:47:48Patriot history.

00:47:48You go for an onside kick here

00:47:50if you're the New England

00:47:50Patriots.

00:47:52Yeah I think you do.

00:47:54I'm certainly not going to give

00:47:55up that's for sure in a game

00:47:57that's been so totally dominated

00:47:59by the Chicago Bears they can

00:48:01retain some respectability here

00:48:06scoreboard clicking away now as

00:48:08you see how things stand in

00:48:10Washington and Houston still

00:48:12field goal separate.

00:48:13Look at this.

00:48:14Wow.

00:48:15It's now blown away Buffalo 35 to

00:48:16three after the Patriots see

00:48:18next week the Bills Rams up on

00:48:21Philadelphia now 17 to 6 Miami

00:48:24holding to a surprisingly small

00:48:26lead over a big underdog

00:48:28Indianapolis that came in the

00:48:30fourth quarter.

00:48:34Tony Franklin ready to kick off

00:48:36now for New England.

00:48:37Our team for the Bears high kick

00:48:42gentry for yard line and the

00:48:49Bears go on offense from their

00:48:5118 yard line.

00:48:53Nick Swain was down to make the

00:48:55team hit football action

00:48:57continues next Sunday on NBC.

00:49:01The Browns and the Cowboys meet

00:49:02at Irving Texas.

00:49:03The Cowboys will be in Irving

00:49:05after they're getting not only

00:49:06upset but blown out 26 nothing

00:49:08by Detroit other regional games

00:49:11and some good matchups include

00:49:13San Diego and Cincinnati.

00:49:15Denver goes against Atlanta in

00:49:16the late games Kansas City of

00:49:17Miami and they just play the

00:49:19Packers at Green Bay Steve

00:49:25Fuller taking a drop running and

00:49:30very well he gets out to the 27

00:49:31yard line and he's going to

00:49:33very well he gets out to the 27

00:49:35yard line got ahead for a game

00:49:38of about five or six yards.

00:49:40Johnny remembered on the tackle

00:49:41a new rule in the NFL.

00:49:43Quarterbacks running like that

00:49:44if they they attempt to hook

00:49:46slide they are down at that

00:49:49point you're not supposed to be

00:49:50able to hit them just to protect

00:49:52the quarterback a little bit.

00:49:57Panorama of Soldier Field in

00:49:59Chicago.

00:50:00Well they've had some great

00:50:01games here.

00:50:02Biggest crowd they ever had here

00:50:041927 Notre Dame played Southern

00:50:07California one hundred and

00:50:09twenty three thousand soldier

00:50:11field but the stadium has

00:50:12changed a great deal.

00:50:13You can't accommodate one

00:50:14hundred and twenty three

00:50:14thousand now right.

00:50:17Forty thousand couldn't see the

00:50:18game they're just happy to be

00:50:19here in the little section to

00:50:24the way is that north yet to the

00:50:27north end zone.

00:50:28It looks like a bull ring where

00:50:30the enclosed soldier field.

00:50:33That's where the Chicago Bears

00:50:34used to work out to that in the

00:50:37other end and it looks like a

00:50:39little bull ring in there.

00:50:41They once had one hundred and

00:50:42five thousand here to see a high

00:50:43school championship game because

00:50:44it was such a spectacular player

00:50:46in it.

00:50:46Who.

00:50:47Someone who never went on to

00:50:48pro football and I know he

00:50:50played at Northwestern build a

00:50:51caravan but in high school he

00:50:53used to run for touchdowns about

00:50:54every third carry end up up the

00:51:00bullpen.

00:51:00So it's still not much but

00:51:03something and most importantly

00:51:05from a Chicago standpoint the

00:51:06Bears are making a kick 713

00:51:09running the Bears in the lead

00:51:1120 to 7 but the Patriots are

00:51:12going to get it back now not a

00:51:14touchdown pass from Easton to

00:51:16Craig James the longest pass in

00:51:18the history of soldier field

00:51:21back in 1919 not only a Patriot

00:51:24record but a soldier field

00:51:26record soldier feel is quite an

00:51:28enterprise and they put this

00:51:29stadium in the NFL and it's

00:51:31probably the oldest stadium in

00:51:32the world dropped 65 feet into

00:51:34Lake Michigan.

00:51:37This is the oldest stadium in

00:51:38the NFL isn't it.

00:51:39I think it has to be so at any

00:51:42moment Trump you could be in

00:51:43Lake Michigan.

00:51:45No no no no.

00:51:46I would think Lambeau Field and

00:51:47Green Bay is probably the only

00:51:49field that has a chance to even

00:51:50be close.

00:51:52Of course for years the Chicago

00:51:54Bears played in Wrigley Field

00:51:55long in tradition also L.A.

00:51:57Coliseum from 1931 second over

00:52:02here comes Irving Friar Irving

00:52:07came in with a big reputation

00:52:09got the big bucks but he's yet

00:52:11to do it for the New England

00:52:12Patriots.

00:52:13Fifty one yards on the punt 11

00:52:16yards on the return.

00:52:19Here's the way the rest of the

00:52:20schedule looks for these two

00:52:23two ballclubs if it's going to

00:52:27Buffalo then go home to play the

00:52:29Raiders bears with scheduling

00:52:33have to play at Minnesota on

00:52:34Thursday night and then they go

00:52:36against the Redskins here at

00:52:40Soldier Field Donnie said news

00:52:45last touchdown throw and last

00:52:47throw is good for a 90 yard

00:52:48touchdown pass play throws

00:52:49another big strike a 17 yard

00:52:51gain out to the forty nine yard

00:52:52strike.

00:52:53Cedric Jones got it.

00:52:55Patriots go with a hurry up

00:52:56offense down.

00:52:58Bears are playing the prevent

00:52:59figuring the clock is on their

00:53:01side even though the lead is now

00:53:04just 13 points at time leading

00:53:15Derek Ramsey.

00:53:16Easton was a little long so it's

00:53:18incomplete with 541 to play in

00:53:20the game.

00:53:20St. Louis now opens up a 14

00:53:22yard run.

00:53:23The big advantage on the Bengals

00:53:24is Stump Mitchell got in a one

00:53:27yard run.

00:53:27Cardinals have some offensive

00:53:29weapons they get Anderson Roy

00:53:31Green Tilly Stump Mitchell Neil

00:53:35Lomax is now kicking the ball

00:53:36particularly well they got a

00:53:37great defense and man if they

00:53:39got some offensive weapons they

00:53:40got some great pass rushers that

00:53:42new guy Freddie Joe non Curtis

00:53:44career at about 17 sacks last

00:53:45year.

00:53:46Long day for Raymond Barry

00:54:05Steve McMichael once again games

00:54:08up front Michael that time at

00:54:11least McMichael was blocked it

00:54:14wasn't a free shot at Easton.

00:54:16You can see all the movement up

00:54:17there it's very hard for a line

00:54:19that really hasn't been together

00:54:21a great deal with John Hannah

00:54:23hurt Haley hurt a tough team to

00:54:27play when your offensive line is

00:54:30not healthy.

00:54:30Someone said that if you took a

00:54:32team picture of the New England

00:54:33Patriots it turned out to be an

00:54:34X-Ray.

00:54:36It's been tough a tough start.

00:54:38Of course one of the future Hall

00:54:40of Famer is not here and it

00:54:42really hurts.

00:54:42And that's John Hannah the hog.

00:54:45He's got a full calf muscle

00:54:47appears to be a pretty serious

00:54:48injury.

00:54:49He would help in that offensive

00:54:50line.

00:54:52Easton's been sacked five times

00:54:54losses of 44 yards in the five

00:54:55sacks.

00:54:56Raymond Barry staying with him.

00:54:57Barry was so interested in

00:54:59improving Easton's performance

00:55:00one of the problems of the sacks

00:55:01last year.

00:55:03They had him back peddling when

00:55:04he was dropping to throw and he

00:55:05they wanted to see the whole

00:55:06field but he was slow getting

00:55:07back.

00:55:08Barry and Easton came all the way

00:55:09back to Champaign and looked at

00:55:10game films at the University of

00:55:11Illinois where he set those

00:55:12seven NCAA passing records.

00:55:14So there's just a much more

00:55:15effective quarterback to get

00:55:17across that drop.

00:55:18The other thing is under Ron

00:55:19Meyer the New England Patriots

00:55:21did not use the shotgun Tony

00:55:23Easton likes the shotgun.

00:55:25Raymond Barry put it in

00:55:26Patriots two of 12 and third

00:55:28down conversions to today.

00:55:30Right now they face about third

00:55:32and 16 third and 15 will be

00:55:40on the road again and NFL 85 for

00:55:43the complete story on Sunday

00:55:45number two of the eighty five

00:55:46season the Chicago Bears off to

00:55:48an impressive start.

00:55:49Winners over Tampa Bay a week

00:55:51ago they now lead New England

00:55:52twenty to seven with five thirty

00:55:53six to play under coach Ditka

00:55:56not too soon for the New

00:55:57England Patriots.

00:55:58Do we get to that NFL 85 show

00:56:05Patriots will be on the road

00:56:06again next week in Buffalo

00:56:07and Chicago on the road.

00:56:09Thursday night to play the

00:56:10Vikings going blitz going on the

00:56:21run.

00:56:22Tony Easton is knocked down

00:56:23hard.

00:56:24Steve McMichael got him as he

00:56:26released the ball bears with the

00:56:28lead but taken no prisoners.

00:56:30He's been getting up off that

00:56:31turf a lot today.

00:56:34Can't find one from the Patriot

00:56:36team record.

00:56:37And the San Marino has kicked

00:56:38the ball particularly well but

00:56:41this poor offense just not

00:56:42healthy enough to compete with

00:56:43this ferocious Chicago Bear

00:56:45defense right here where the

00:56:50bears have been a great part of

00:56:52the NFL for so many years of

00:56:54famous football address on the

00:56:56shores of Lake Michigan and the

00:56:57bears have defense now to go with

00:56:59Walter Payton and Jim McMahon

00:57:00and they believe they can go the

00:57:02distance this season.

00:57:03They're opening up with a two

00:57:05nothing record to an O if they

00:57:07come out of this and looks like

00:57:08they will.

00:57:09Here is the punch down field

00:57:10hitting the ball to San Marino

00:57:12Durson is back with a penalty

00:57:13marker down Dave Durson gets out

00:57:19to the 22 yard line a 46 yard

00:57:22punt and a nine yard return.

00:57:24This could go either way.

00:57:26Chicago Bear defensive lineman

00:57:28jumped off sides but then off

00:57:31sides.

00:57:32Oops.

00:57:33I mean he's going to end up

00:57:34upswing he's going to ask again

00:57:40outside signal against the

00:57:41bears the five yards will not

00:57:45help.

00:57:51So at 515 to play the Patriots

00:57:53now let's see they're going to

00:57:54punt it again.

00:57:55Apparently they are Camarillo is

00:57:57coming back out.

00:58:04Not one of the more exciting

00:58:05moments in the game with 44 guys

00:58:07milling around wondering what

00:58:08the next play is saving team.

00:58:11Tell me is the time.

00:58:16I'll look at the scoreboard as

00:58:18they can in the Jets now leading

00:58:20Buffalo forty two to three so it

00:58:23appears the Bills who won two

00:58:24games a year ago have again run

00:58:26up the white flag.

00:58:28You're saying it's a possibility

00:58:29that Hank Bola who's a defensive

00:58:30coordinator may take over for

00:58:32Miami back with a vengeance over

00:58:34Indianapolis now 30 to 7.

00:58:37He could be 42 to 3 if quit

00:58:41quick.

00:58:41Well you quit.

00:58:43Oh you quit.

00:58:44I would think when you consider

00:58:45with the Jets did their opening

00:58:46game they lost 31 to nothing the

00:58:48Jets did.

00:58:54First down and 10 now for

00:58:56Chicago.

00:58:57Bears will be running the ball

00:58:58and find a way to get to the

00:58:59second back through coming out

00:59:01as Tom Sanders a rookie from

00:59:02Texas A&M.

00:59:05Now let's go to Bob Costas.

00:59:07In New York.

00:59:10All right Don on this play the

00:59:11Cardinals shotgun blows some

00:59:13holes in the Cincinnati defense

00:59:14a 42 yard catch and run.

00:59:16Neil Lomax to stump Mitchell

00:59:18moments later the drive

00:59:19continuing Mitchell scored from

00:59:20the one cards lead thirty four

00:59:22twenty nine and a half minutes

00:59:23left.

00:59:23And here at Soldier Field it is

00:59:25Chicago 20 New England 7 the

00:59:27Bears led 10 nothing at the half

00:59:28extended at the 20 to nothing

00:59:30that the Patriots finally hit a

00:59:31big play when Tony Eason dropped

00:59:33back hit Craig James over the

00:59:34middle out of the backfield and

00:59:35he was on a 90 yard foot race to

00:59:37the end zone and 90 yard

00:59:38touchdown pass play the longest

00:59:40in Patriot history averted a

00:59:42shutout with 434 left to play

00:59:44Fuller has called a timeout for

00:59:47Chicago.

00:59:47Here's a look at the score.

00:59:48It's 1 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3

00:59:534 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3

00:59:574 Chicago has gone over the

01:00:00sideline to talk to Mike Ditka

01:00:04you think the Chicago Bears

01:00:05obviously in the NFC Central.

01:00:08No question about it.

01:00:09I don't Detroit might have

01:00:10something.

01:00:11Today it looks like they have

01:00:12something Darryl Rodgers and an

01:00:15awesome beginning to this 1985

01:00:17football season but with this

01:00:18defense this team has got to be

01:00:21considered one of the I think

01:00:22the best teams in the world.

01:00:23They haven't really done a great

01:00:25job offensively.

01:00:26They've come up with three or

01:00:27four big plays but this is the

01:00:30most stifling defense I can

01:00:32think of in the NFL.

01:00:34There's only one team that

01:00:35really had a chance or did a

01:00:38good job against the Bears and

01:00:40that was the Super Bowl champion

01:00:4249ers still 6 nothing run over

01:00:45New York in the fifth mentally

01:00:46Montreal 5 2 and the 8 cardinals

01:00:50and the Chicago Red Sox are up

01:00:51on Chicago 1 nothing those three

01:00:57races close Yankees could be

01:01:01four and a half back St. Louis

01:01:03and the Mets if it stays the

01:01:04same score wise will remain the

01:01:07same Raymond Barry a long

01:01:12afternoon that every head coach

01:01:14has to go through not over yet

01:01:15though and they did hit the big

01:01:17play with four thirty four left

01:01:18to go has the ball now second

01:01:20down and 10 Kelvin Thomas is the

01:01:22up back but get it right here

01:01:26Alvin Thomas runs the ball and a

01:01:28big fullback takes it to the 25

01:01:33gain of only three yards on the

01:01:34plate will bring up third down

01:01:36and seven as Dennis Owens a

01:01:37middle guard nose tackle for the

01:01:38Patriots made the stop you can't

01:01:40compliment this New England

01:01:41defense enough you're still

01:01:43working at it Owens there on the

01:01:45center and do the best they

01:01:47possibly can game clock down to

01:01:544 0 5 to play as the Bears break

01:01:57the huddle on a sunshiny day in

01:01:59Chicago when the weather gets

01:02:01tougher here in the Windy City

01:02:02so do the Bears and that wind

01:02:04starts to sweep in off Lake

01:02:05Michigan defense hurts all the

01:02:09more running now coming ahead

01:02:10with the ball as Tom Sanders the

01:02:12rookie back getting some time

01:02:13as Nelson makes the knockdown

01:02:16Patriots now signal for a time

01:02:18out with three forty four to

01:02:19play Chicago will have to punt

01:02:21the ball back an injury to an

01:02:23offensive lineman of the

01:02:24Chicago Bears Mark Bortz I seems

01:02:26to be all right a player they're

01:02:29very pleased with a third year

01:02:30player out of Iowa free agent

01:02:33was a college defensive lineman

01:02:35after the fashion of the Dallas

01:02:37Cowboys they converted him to an

01:02:38offensive lineman three forty

01:02:44four to play so he said in the

01:02:45Patriot offense gets another

01:02:47crack at it as they now get

01:02:49upset to receive a Chicago punt

01:02:50with fourth down and four coming

01:02:52up the only time the New

01:02:57England Patriots have crossed

01:02:58this midfield is the touchdown

01:03:01on Craig James is that correct I

01:03:03think it was other than that one

01:03:04time there was the forty nine of

01:03:05the Bears and it got sacked the

01:03:08first half that's amazing Dallas

01:03:13on the board now it looks like

01:03:17it might be a little too late

01:03:19although it's a long time look

01:03:20at it's interesting they got

01:03:21Hogan boom in the game night

01:03:22through Tony Hill Danny white

01:03:25out well what would Dallas be

01:03:28without a quarterback

01:03:29controversy although after their

01:03:30performance against Washington

01:03:32last Monday night I didn't think

01:03:33anybody come close to Dallas

01:03:38maybe they didn't think that

01:03:39either took a week to Sunday off

01:03:41and they could blow out the

01:03:42Lions not too well hit by

01:03:53Buford he's tough to handle as

01:03:55fire goes across now he has to

01:03:57let the ball roll and it goes

01:03:59down to the 32 yard line of New

01:04:00England and the Patriot offense

01:04:02comes back out one more time 40

01:04:05yard punt as Tony Easton comes

01:04:07out a man who's been victimized

01:04:09five times being sacked but he

01:04:11still has a spring in his step

01:04:12as he runs out five sacks three

01:04:14interceptions thrown by Tony

01:04:16Easton first time in his career

01:04:18he's thrown for more than one in

01:04:20the game NFL 85 with the story

01:04:29of week two coming up as soon as

01:04:32the game is over.

01:04:33Thirty three to play and the

01:04:35Bears in the lead 20 to 7 years

01:04:37decent from the shotgun on first

01:04:38one out.

01:04:39Let's get Tony Easton all the

01:04:49way back at the 15 yard line.

01:04:51Look at Eason he's getting up

01:04:54slower and slower and slower.

01:04:57The Bears run so many games up

01:04:59front.

01:04:59Watch the center 58.

01:05:00He just can't quite get out

01:05:02there on Marshall and Marshall

01:05:04is buying 22.

01:05:06Brock has just hit his head on a

01:05:08pillow today trying to pick up

01:05:09all these glitches.

01:05:11I'm not sure you can put it

01:05:11totally on his shoulders.

01:05:14Second down and 22 now somebody

01:05:23help him out here.

01:05:30It was incomplete.

01:05:32Buddy Ryan was over there making

01:05:33sure the defensive coordinator

01:05:34for the Bears buddy doesn't

01:05:36flatter guys in his team that

01:05:37didn't do well.

01:05:38Harry came in he said here's a

01:05:39draft mistake instead of his

01:05:41cornerback last year we got the

01:05:42two worst cornerbacks in the

01:05:43NFL and all I do is play in the

01:05:45NFC Championship Game.

01:05:51I imagine that huddle is pretty

01:05:52quiet.

01:05:59But he can't knock William too

01:06:01much for the way the buddies

01:06:02trained up a little over the

01:06:03last year he said let's rip it

01:06:21complete at the 25 yard line a

01:06:24long out now we pause briefly

01:06:26for station identification.

01:06:27This is the NBC television

01:06:29network.

01:06:30You're watching Channel 17 WTVO

01:06:33and we're back at sold out

01:06:37soldier field in Chicago.

01:06:38Don Crikey with Bob Trumpy 257

01:06:40left to play in the game.

01:06:42Raymond Barry's New England

01:06:43Patriots are trailing the Bears

01:06:4420 to 7 they were down 20 to

01:06:46nothing much of this game and

01:06:48hit in a long play but he's in

01:06:50the young quarterback from

01:06:51Illinois who has been sacked a

01:06:52number of times comes off the

01:06:54field unable to move the team on

01:06:55that set of downs Raymond Barry

01:06:57a good psychologist he's going

01:07:00to have a real job with Tony

01:07:02trying to build him up for the

01:07:03rest of this season.

01:07:05Amarillo on the loads again and

01:07:06Dorsen takes it in his 28 and

01:07:15Dorsen is knocked down at the 37

01:07:16yard line where Chicago goes on

01:07:18offense first in 10 52 yard

01:07:21punt as he ties the team record

01:07:23for number of punts in a game

01:07:24and another penalty markers down

01:07:26might have been on the kick

01:07:27and a three time duly is ready

01:07:36to speak and he says holding

01:07:42legal use of hands against

01:07:44Chicago the Rams beat the Eagles

01:07:5017 to 6 at Veterans Stadium.

01:07:53So the Rams jump off to a 2 and

01:07:540 start in the NFC West and the

01:07:56Eagles lead by one to a final

01:08:04score.

01:08:05Look at their Raymond Barry Tony

01:08:06Eason tough day for a young man

01:08:16who is going to have a very very

01:08:17bright future in the NFL has

01:08:19already performed very

01:08:20admirably in that class of great

01:08:22quarterbacks that came out in

01:08:24the NFL all of them six taken

01:08:30five of the six in the NFC East

01:08:35reason would rather forget this

01:08:37day this is his first return to

01:08:39Illinois.

01:08:40He was a real hero for the

01:08:41University of Illinois an awful

01:08:42lot of a line I think it's

01:08:44valid.

01:08:44Oh yeah.

01:08:45He is an excellent player.

01:08:47This guy's gonna be one of the

01:08:48stars in the league.

01:08:49He was the third player picked

01:08:50in that quarterback draft of 83

01:08:53and he was the first black guy

01:08:55who doesn't get it down in

01:08:56Kansas City was second.

01:08:58Marina was last and Jim Kelly

01:09:02was picked after Eason Raymond

01:09:09Barry just got to wipe this game

01:09:12out of his team's mind and go on

01:09:13from here.

01:09:14They got 14 left to the best

01:09:15they possibly can.

01:09:19There was a questionable call in

01:09:20Washington a bit ago in a very

01:09:22tight game.

01:09:22And now it's back in just a

01:09:24moment.

01:09:25Calvin Thomas turns the corner

01:09:27and gets to midfield.

01:09:29Now let's go to NFL 85 and Bob

01:09:31Costas said no 16 13 skins.

01:09:41They're still playing now I

01:09:42guess they are still players a

01:09:44face mask on that almost a face

01:09:47is on there.

01:09:48I guess they are ready to play

01:09:54here set it up now.

01:09:54Second down and five.

01:09:56They leave the game twenty two

01:09:58seven two thirty seven to play

01:10:00Paul is going to air it out.

01:10:02And he does look at those yards

01:10:16the New England Patriots once

01:10:17again get their opponents under

01:10:19300 total yards of offense this

01:10:21game at this point not exactly a

01:10:23number that has people on the

01:10:24edge of their seat.

01:10:26That was Steve Fuller's first

01:10:27pass of the 1985 season

01:10:30incomplete I tell you what we

01:10:37haven't said many kind things

01:10:39about the New England Patriots

01:10:40except their defense.

01:10:41I have a feeling the Patriots

01:10:42are going to be an excellent

01:10:43football team this year because

01:10:45of the same reason the Bears are

01:10:46going to be excellent good

01:10:47defense solid defense Fuller

01:10:53trying to throw with a 20 to 7

01:10:55lead and to twenty five to play

01:10:57is swept under Toby Williams was

01:10:58the man who got there first

01:11:00second sack of the day for the

01:11:01Patriot defense.

01:11:03They've not quit that New

01:11:04England Patriot defense try to

01:11:05keep the ball club in the game

01:11:07as best they possibly could.

01:11:11But eventually you're going to

01:11:12get tired out there.

01:11:15Fourth and fourth for the Bears

01:11:18around forty one the Cubs and

01:11:20the Cardinals now tied up at

01:11:21Wrigley Field 1 1 in the fifth

01:11:23inning since then he's come back

01:11:25on L.A. 6 6 in the sixth inning

01:11:29since then he's got to come back

01:11:30every game the rest of the

01:11:31season to get close to the West.

01:11:33They don't mind they got the

01:11:34best record in the major leagues

01:11:35and one run ball games and extra

01:11:37inning ball games are down to

01:11:43two minutes to play now as the

01:11:44quarter clock winds down and

01:11:46we'll be back at Soldier Field

01:11:47after this down quickly with

01:11:54Bob Trump back at Soldier Field

01:11:55in Chicago as the Bears

01:11:57continue to lead the Patriots 20

01:11:59to 7 now with two minutes to

01:12:00play the Patriots will get the

01:12:02ball back.

01:12:04They have virtually no offense

01:12:06excepting that one big play when

01:12:08Eason hit Craig James for a 90

01:12:10yard touchdown pass pass and run

01:12:13the longest in Patriot history

01:12:16prior to the ball and Chicago

01:12:18has it as he Phillips comes down

01:12:22and recovers trying to make a

01:12:27big play for his team.

01:12:29Don hungry turners are told to

01:12:33catch that ball on the fly.

01:12:34Don't let it hit the ground was

01:12:37off the side of more Buford's

01:12:38foot just couldn't quite get over

01:12:40the top of the third inning.

01:12:41He's got a lot of power to it.

01:12:43First recovery.

01:12:45That's the way the day is gone.

01:12:49So the Bears have the ball at

01:12:52the 23 yard line of the Patriots

01:12:54with 151 to go and New England

01:13:01Patriot defense is slow to a

01:13:02walk.

01:13:04They've been out there a lot in

01:13:05their second half.

01:13:07Let's see what the Bears do.

01:13:10They've got a 13 point lead with

01:13:11one fifty one to go straight

01:13:16ahead run carried out feel good

01:13:20for about three yards as Thomas

01:13:22Sanders ran the ball and Kenneth

01:13:23Sims knocked him down.

01:13:26Bears now huddling at their

01:13:27leisure.

01:13:28Walter Payton has not played in

01:13:29a long time.

01:13:30It's bruised ribs unusual for

01:13:33the Chicago Bears to win a

01:13:34football game in which Walter

01:13:36Payton doesn't run the ball 20

01:13:37times in his career.

01:13:43He almost had the total day off

01:13:45didn't he didn't need him today.

01:13:50He will be heard from now.

01:13:51Walter Payton had a second best

01:13:52year in his career last season

01:13:53rushing for over sixteen hundred

01:13:55yards carried the ball more

01:13:57times than he ever had in one

01:13:58season his tenth year in the

01:13:59league Sanders looking for

01:14:02someplace to go and he's finally

01:14:04got a shot at him but there was

01:14:06no penalty marker they stop the

01:14:11clock get everybody back in the

01:14:14huddle that's the best way to

01:14:15stop a fight just have them

01:14:18huddle up the defense here as a

01:14:21quick watch Nelson with that

01:14:22right arm trying to leave an

01:14:25impression lost on the

01:14:28timeout with 52 seconds left to

01:14:30play.

01:14:31Bears have the ball and Chicago

01:14:32leads 20 to 7 New England

01:14:37Patriots have had 15 drives

01:14:39today.

01:14:40This is the way each drive has

01:14:41ended in the first half three

01:14:45five punts and two interceptions

01:14:48in the second half and the

01:14:50third and the fourth and the

01:14:51fifth and the sixth and the

01:14:52seventh and the eighth and the

01:14:53ninth and the tenth and the

01:14:54twelfth and the twelfth and the

01:14:55eighteenth and the twelfth and

01:14:56the twelfth and the tenth and

01:14:57the ninth and the second half

01:15:00six points an interception and a

01:15:03touchdown right now the Bears

01:15:07are looking to run out the game

01:15:09sending Sanders wide right he

01:15:12crashes down inside and gets

01:15:14inside the 15 yard line.

01:15:15James takes the ball back.

01:15:19Patriots are ready to go at all

01:15:21time.

01:15:21This defense is a good one and

01:15:23it's a very unhappy about the

01:15:24turn of events in this game as

01:15:25Sanders leads the game 20 to 7

01:15:28with 32 seconds to play Miami

01:15:3130 to 13 victor over

01:15:33Indianapolis clock running

01:15:43mercifully for the New England

01:15:44Patriots last play of the game

01:15:47bears to an old one that'll do

01:15:52it from Chicago where the Bears

01:15:54have a record at 2 and 0 on the

01:15:56season the Patriots go back to

01:15:57New England one and one on the

01:16:01year and head to Buffalo as

01:16:03coach Dick and coach Barry shake

01:16:04hands in midfield they were

01:16:05together in the Dallas

01:16:06organization for a couple of

01:16:07years if someone in the New

01:16:10England Patriot organization

01:16:12between now and when they get

01:16:15back to New England could lose

01:16:16this film I'd give him a game

01:16:18ball so that will do it from

01:16:23soldier field in Chicago we're

01:16:24going to take a look now at the

01:16:25scoreboard as the National

01:16:27Football League's second Sunday

01:16:30of play was a dominant one for

01:16:32Chicago keyed by great

01:16:33defensive play there is Jim

01:16:36McMahon congratulated that's a

01:16:40Patriot there Don Rogers Don

01:16:43through the first two games in

01:16:44the 1985 season the Bears have

01:16:46accomplished what Mike did get

01:16:48one of his team to accomplish

01:16:49and that was to take some of the

01:16:51pressure off of Walter Payton

01:16:53spread it around and just allow

01:16:55the defense to play as best they

01:16:57possibly could today the

01:16:59performance by the Chicago Bear

01:17:00offense and defense the offense

01:17:02was not spectacular it was

01:17:03functional with about three or

01:17:05four big plays all day long it

01:17:08was totally the Chicago Bear

01:17:10defense just stifling absolutely

01:17:12stifling the New England

01:17:14Patriots way the scoring went

01:17:17today for the Chicago Bears they

01:17:19opened up on their first drive

01:17:20early in the game on a 32 yard

01:17:22touchdown pass McMahon hit

01:17:24McKinnon on a beautiful play

01:17:26that Chicago scored before

01:17:27halftime in a Butler field goal

01:17:28so he added a one yard

01:17:29touchdown run in the third

01:17:31quarter Butler hit another field

01:17:32goal at the end of three

01:17:33quarters it was 20 to nothing

01:17:34Chicago then New England came

01:17:36back on the longest touchdown

01:17:37pass play in the history of the

01:17:40franchise a 90 yarder Greg

01:17:42James it was 20 to seven and

01:17:44that's how it ended Washington

01:17:49has defeated Houston 16 to 13

01:17:53so that controversial play you

01:17:56saw earlier on NFL 85 might

01:17:59turn out to be a very big one

01:18:03right now though for Bob

01:18:04Trumpy this is Don Crick he

01:18:05glad you could be with us at

01:18:06Soldier Field in Chicago as the
