00:00:00It's snowing outside in the Seattle area, but cozy under the roof of the Kingdome, the usual sellout of near 65,000 to see two teams with real playoff ambitions duel this afternoon. Hello, everyone. Dick Enberg with Merlin Olsen. The New England Patriots know now the Jets are going to win. They have a big lead, so they're trying to stay in first place, and the Seattle Seahawks are just one game behind the Denver Broncos who play the San Diego Chargers a bit later, and they're both looking ahead to a late season opportunity.

00:00:29Dick, when you're thinking playoffs, and both these teams are thinking playoffs, you've got to win late in the year. Early in the season, you lose a game, you can make up on it. You can't do that anymore. This game could also play a big role if these teams are fighting for a berth as a wild card later in the season.

00:00:43And in the highly competitive AFC, 14 teams and 10 of the 14 in the American Conference are either in first place or one game out of first. The Patriots will get the ball first. Norm Johnson to kick it off for Seattle.

00:00:57New England with five consecutive wins under Coach Rayberry, and Seattle trying to win their third in a row. A huge kick that's deep.

00:01:08Stephens starring. Well, sit on it in the end zone. Touchback, and out comes the Renaissance Man, as Pete Rozelle alluded to Steve Grogan.

00:01:17Tony Collins and Craig James are the running back. Stanley Morgan, the all-time Patriot receiver, and catches yards and touchdowns. Irving Fryer, a couple of hundred turns for touchdowns.

00:01:29Lynn Dawson is the tight end. The offensive blockers, Brian Holloway and John Hanna, the H-team on that left side.

00:01:36Pro Bowlers, veteran Guy Morris at center. Ron Wheaton and Steve Moore on the right side.

00:01:41Craig James for only two into a sea of blue Seattle jerseys led by Keith Butler. Here is that Seahawk defense. Jacob Green, he has a couple of touchdowns this year.

00:02:02Joe Nash on the nose from Boston College and Jeff Bryant. The linebackers, Bruce Schultz, Fred Young, a fine young player.

00:02:10Keith Butler and Michael Jackson. Terry Taylor and Dave Brown, the veteran at the corners, and Kenny Easley, an all-pro.

00:02:17And John Harris at safety on second and eight as James picking his way to the 25, where it'll be third and five.

00:02:25Butler, along with John Harris, to make the stop.

00:02:29Right away, this Patriot team comes out and starts pounding on that line for the Seahawks.

00:02:35And one of the reasons for that, the Seahawks have been very aggressive. They have 21 sacks in the last three weeks.

00:02:41They want to remind them of how strong that running game that the Patriots can produce on the line of scrimmage is so that they can keep them out of the pass rush.

00:02:50Tony Collins, Craig James split behind Grogan.

00:02:54And Seattle looking past. They're bringing up the rush.

00:02:57And then they drop back. Gave a false look. Grogan just gets it away. Complete to Lynn Dawson. Fumble!

00:03:06Dawson may have been able to scramble back and get it, but I believe with a fumble, the Patriots lost the chance for a first down.

00:03:13Dawson was struggling to get across the 30 in a first down.

00:03:17With the fumble, the ball drops back to the 29.

00:03:19Two of the most physical, defensive players in the NFL on the field today.

00:03:24There's one of them, number 45, Kenny Easley, working on Lynn Dawson.

00:03:28Watch him strip that football.

00:03:30Boy, he just goes after that football, attacks it.

00:03:33Ball bounces away.

00:03:35And in that fumble, they lost first down yardage, Dick.

00:03:38They had the first down, but they lost it with the fumble.

00:03:40So, Rich Camarillo, who did his college kicking right here in Seattle at the University of Washington.

00:03:50Off to a good start, but his average dipping dramatically the last five games.

00:03:54But those were five New England wins.

00:03:57Kenny Easley and Paul Scancy are deep for Seattle.

00:04:01A beautiful, booming kick that'll send Easley all the way back inside his 15.

00:04:05He fumbles and falls on it at the 20.

00:04:10The implications for both teams in their division races.

00:04:16New England currently tied with the Jets and with a 5-0 lead within the division.

00:04:21New England has that advantage.

00:04:23The Jets are going to win.

00:04:24They have a big, big lead over Tampa Bay.

00:04:26Miami apparently will beat Indianapolis.

00:04:28Both teams, Jets and Miami, started slowly.

00:04:30But that in-division record is important.

00:04:32Denver leads by one over Seattle.

00:04:34And it's a real scramble in the West with the Raiders only one game off the lead.

00:04:38All the Western Division teams are playing late games.

00:04:43Seattle and the other four competing in the AFC West.

00:04:47Dave Craig.

00:04:51Kurt Warner for four.

00:04:53Warner, the number seven rusher in the NFL, comes in with a 722 yards.

00:04:59But he's been slowed in the last three weeks with a bad ankle.

00:05:08It'll be second down and six.

00:05:10We'll give you those lineups in just a moment.

00:05:11The Seattle breaks huddle at its 24-yard run.

00:05:18Both Turner and Steve Largent to the right.

00:05:20And that's 89 Byron Walker way out to the near side.

00:05:23Warner, close to a first down, dropped at the 29-yard line by Fred Marion,

00:05:33the AFC Defensive Player of the Week, for his efforts last week against Indianapolis.

00:05:39Craig, the quarterback.

00:05:40Warner, Eric Lane, number 37, starting at fullback.

00:05:43Chuck Knox's team has had real problems at that position with injuries.

00:05:46David Hughes and Dan Dornick both out.

00:05:48Darryl Turner with 10 touchdown passes, tops in the NFL.

00:05:52Steve Largent only three away from an NFL record, 50 catches, eight years.

00:05:57Charlie Young, the tight end.

00:05:58Essink, Baylor, Bush, Pratt, and Kreider, the next Patriot,

00:06:02that tackle the offensive line.

00:06:04Third and one.

00:06:07Warner, three carries in a row, and he has the first down

00:06:11as he just edges across the 30-yard line.

00:06:14Let's go to Bob Costas.

00:06:15Nope, we're going to go to welcome the Pittsburgh and Houston audience.

00:06:22How did that final come out?

00:06:26The Oilers and Cleveland Browns.

00:06:30We welcome you, and there's that final.

00:06:33The Steelers winning 30-7 to maintain at least a share of first place in the Central Division.

00:06:39Cincinnati playing at Los Angeles against the Raiders.

00:06:42The Steelers here were just underway in the Kingdome.

00:06:45Three and a half minutes have been played.

00:06:46The Patriots unable to pick up a first down after receiving the opening kickoff,

00:06:50and Kirk Warner, three consecutive runs, a first down, a total of 11 yards,

00:06:55and hits Seattle at their 31.

00:06:57Four straight carries, and he battles for five before 50.

00:07:08Larry McGrew and Steve Nelson, 57, can make the tackle.

00:07:14Ken Sims, Dennis Owens, and Julius Adams,

00:07:17the old man on that front line for the Patriots.

00:07:20Andre Tippett, boy, greatness really surrounding his play.

00:07:23Steve Nelson, despite the eye injury, and he has a special face mask to protect the eye.

00:07:29Larry McGrew and Don Blackman.

00:07:30Blackman would be a star in most teams, but with Tippett in that linebacking court,

00:07:34tough to find him.

00:07:35Lippitt, Claiborne, James, and Marion, a good back four for New England.

00:07:40Second and five.

00:07:45Warner has another first down.

00:07:48And Kurt Warner, five plays, five rushes by Warner, the former All-America at Penn State.

00:07:55If you want to know why Kurt Warner is regarded by defenses as such a tough back to stop,

00:08:01watch the cuts he makes from the end zone.

00:08:04He sees the opening back inside, runs right out of the grasp of number 50, Larry McGrew,

00:08:09and picks up excellent yardage.

00:08:11This is the quickest I have seen Warner since his knee injury,

00:08:15and he looks to be explosive on the line today.

00:08:20From the 44.

00:08:23Only Warner behind Craig.

00:08:26His first throw, and it goes to Warner.

00:08:31For six yards, a fumble, and the Patriots have recovered.

00:08:35Warner hit at midfield, and the signal was that New England had recovered.

00:08:42One of the officials marked it toward the opposite goal line,

00:08:46but now perhaps another official is going to say the play had been whistled dead.

00:08:50Now they're trying to separate everything down there.

00:08:53We'll give you a chance to watch it.

00:08:54A little swing pattern.

00:08:56They run Warner several times.

00:08:57They're stretching down the field with the receivers.

00:09:00Warner has the ball here, working against those Patriots who are trying to strip the ball as well,

00:09:05and that was Fred Marion who pulled that ball away,

00:09:08and I believe, Dick, that it was a legitimate fumble.

00:09:11It was, and Jerry Markbright has now signaled first down New England.

00:09:17That's one of the things that Raymond Berry locked out on,

00:09:21or locked on as a priority for his defense, was taking the ball away.

00:09:26They were 26th in the league last year.

00:09:28This year, they lead the AFC with 30.

00:09:31Seattle, by the way, is there with 29.

00:09:33So both these teams know how to strip that football loose.

00:09:37We've seen it on the ground twice already with fumbles.

00:09:41The fans are booing here at the kingdom,

00:09:44but the replay certainly confirms the fact that Warner had fumbled.

00:09:48Tony Collins, a couple tough yards.

00:10:02Fred Young, number 50, one of the many Seahawks in on the stop.

00:10:06Jeff Bryant, number 77, working on 76, Brian Holloway.

00:10:12Holloway drove him off the line a good five yards.

00:10:15Jeff wanting to get back into that play, able to pick up a piece of the tackle.

00:10:20But, boy, that's a battle of two bulls on the line of scrimmage.

00:10:23Cleveland has defeated Buffalo to stay in that central division race.

00:10:30Collins.

00:10:33Bulldog down by Kenny Easley at the 43 after a four-yard gain.

00:10:40Drogon has thrown only one pass, completed the tight end Lynn Dawson,

00:10:44but Dawson fumbled on the play,

00:10:46and the ball falling back inside the 30,

00:10:48and denied the Patriots a first down.

00:10:50And they're looking for their initial first down.

00:10:52Kenny Easley said he felt that the key to this game, Dick,

00:10:55was what would happen on first downs.

00:10:58The Seahawks want their nickel package,

00:11:00their extra defensive backs on the field.

00:11:03But if the Patriots are able to run the ball effectively,

00:11:06they can keep that nickel package on the sideline.

00:11:09From the shotgun.

00:11:14The all-out blitz,

00:11:17and Collins may have fumbled.

00:11:20And they have ruled it a fumble.

00:11:24And we'll mark it at that spot,

00:11:25recovered by New England.

00:11:27But the Patriots will have to punt it away.

00:11:32You'll see on the right-hand side of your screen

00:11:35that Randy Edwards, number 60-68,

00:11:38blowing in there.

00:11:39That's a draw play.

00:11:40When you run the blitz,

00:11:41very often because you're jumping into those gaps,

00:11:44you just kill that draw play.

00:11:45That's a case where the defense had the perfect call

00:11:48for the offensive play.

00:11:50Hogg Hanna, number 73,

00:11:51was the man who fell on the football

00:11:53to keep it in New England's possession.

00:11:55Camarillo aiming toward the near corner.

00:11:58No, that one's going to fade

00:11:59and bounce into the end zone.

00:12:02That's not what Camarillo had in mind.

00:12:04So, on the net,

00:12:06the Patriots will get only 23 yards.

00:12:10Steve Largent, as he comes on the field,

00:12:1347 catches.

00:12:15Should he catch three today,

00:12:16he will become the first man in NFL history

00:12:19to catch 50 passes in eight different years.

00:12:24He's currently tied with five men.

00:12:25One of those, Raymond Berry,

00:12:27the New England coach,

00:12:28seven seasons with 50 or more.

00:12:30He undoubtedly will be the first man

00:12:33to catch 600 in a career

00:12:35in less than 12 years,

00:12:36and he's going to do it in 10.

00:12:40And there's more to the Larson story.

00:12:43Warner.

00:12:4630, 40,

00:12:48and Miriam knocks him out of bounds

00:12:49at the 44.

00:12:5044.

00:12:5144.

00:13:0024 yards for Kurt Warner.

00:13:04Kurt Warner, early in this season,

00:13:07has had trouble getting to the hole.

00:13:09He has had trouble exploding,

00:13:11but you saw it at just a little opening there.

00:13:13The good running backs

00:13:15know how to explode

00:13:17from the line of scrimmage.

00:13:18Warner did it there,

00:13:19popped through for a big gain

00:13:20and a first down.

00:13:21He is having an exciting day.

00:13:23Six rushes,

00:13:2447 yards already

00:13:26in this first quarter.

00:13:27Randall Morris will give Warner a breather.

00:13:29Morris, 43.

00:13:30That was the longest run

00:13:31against the New England Patriots all season.

00:13:35Eric Lane.

00:13:37And he stopped

00:13:38after just a yard gain.

00:13:4085,

00:13:41Julius Adams,

00:13:42the 37-year-old gray beard

00:13:44defensive end of the Patriots,

00:13:46made the stop.

00:13:47He said 85,

00:13:48number 85,

00:13:49will end it here in 85,

00:13:52his last season.

00:13:52I talked to Eddie Kayad,

00:13:54his defensive line coach,

00:13:55and Eddie said,

00:13:55you know,

00:13:56this 37-year-old

00:13:57defensive lineman

00:13:58is still one of the quickest

00:13:59off the ball

00:14:00of any of the linemen

00:14:01in the NFL.

00:14:02He said,

00:14:02you know,

00:14:02he can show those guys,

00:14:03and in that first

00:14:04two or three feet,

00:14:05you can make a living.

00:14:06And he is something else

00:14:08in great shape.

00:14:09Still enjoying the game.

00:14:11Second and nine.

00:14:12Four,

00:14:1390.

00:14:16Craig,

00:14:17Don Blackman

00:14:18records the sack

00:14:20his eighth of the season.

00:14:22Let's take a peek

00:14:22at Julius Adams

00:14:23on this particular play.

00:14:25He was driving inside

00:14:26to make room

00:14:27for the blitzing linebacker

00:14:28on the outside.

00:14:29Very quickly,

00:14:30number 55,

00:14:31Don Blackman

00:14:32coming from the outside

00:14:33is the man

00:14:33who makes the sack.

00:14:34But you saw how quickly

00:14:36Julius Adams,

00:14:3685,

00:14:37blew into the inside

00:14:38past number 64,

00:14:40Ron Essick.

00:14:4135th time this year

00:14:43that Dave Craig

00:14:44has been sacked.

00:14:46Adams a part of the play,

00:14:48although Blackman

00:14:49will receive the sack credit.

00:14:51Out of the shotgun,

00:14:52Craig on third down

00:14:54and 15.

00:14:59Good protection.

00:15:01Open is Largent.

00:15:03And Steve Largent

00:15:05has caught a pass

00:15:06in his 118th

00:15:08consecutive game

00:15:09as he moves

00:15:10ever closer

00:15:11to Harold Carmichael's

00:15:12all-time record

00:15:13of 127 in a row.

00:15:15Magic feet.

00:15:17Largent just has

00:15:18that unique ability

00:15:19to break loose.

00:15:20He gets his man

00:15:21turned around right there.

00:15:22Roland James

00:15:23gets it to the outside.

00:15:26That's Claiborne.

00:15:26Raymond Claiborne,

00:15:2726,

00:15:28coming up

00:15:28to shove him

00:15:29out of bounds.

00:15:30And he's short

00:15:30of the first down

00:15:31by about,

00:15:33oh,

00:15:33two yards.

00:15:34They're going to have

00:15:34to kick it away.

00:15:35That's unusual for Largent.

00:15:36He usually knows

00:15:37exactly where

00:15:37the marker is.

00:15:41Dave Penzer's

00:15:42first putt.

00:15:47Short.

00:15:48And bounces out

00:15:50of bounds

00:15:51around the

00:15:5125-yard line.

00:15:55They'll mark it

00:15:56right at the 25.

00:15:58Short kick of 23

00:16:00by Penzer.

00:16:05Five minutes

00:16:06and nine seconds

00:16:06remaining

00:16:07in this first quarter.

00:16:09Craig and the Seahawks

00:16:10no score.

00:16:11They've had some trouble

00:16:11this year, too,

00:16:12and you can see

00:16:13one of the problems

00:16:13that Craig has had.

00:16:15He's gotten off

00:16:15to some bad starts,

00:16:16and in the games

00:16:17they've lost,

00:16:17the four games

00:16:18they've lost,

00:16:19has thrown 11

00:16:20interceptions.

00:16:21But when he is

00:16:21on a streak,

00:16:23he's hard to stop.

00:16:24Nearly perfect.

00:16:24Rogen.

00:16:30Off play action.

00:16:34That's going to be

00:16:34intercepted.

00:16:35John Harris

00:16:36at the 49 of Seattle.

00:16:39His fifth of the year.

00:16:49Both of these

00:16:50football teams

00:16:51have tremendous

00:16:52defenses,

00:16:53and they can take

00:16:54the football away

00:16:55from you.

00:16:56They can win

00:16:57just with defense.

00:16:58Turnovers.

00:16:59The name of the game

00:17:00here in Seattle.

00:17:00They get their

00:17:01first of the day,

00:17:02and Rogen is wondering

00:17:03why he lobbed that

00:17:04one over the head

00:17:05of his receiver.

00:17:06That was not a good path.

00:17:07Well,

00:17:10each team

00:17:11has a turnover

00:17:12at midfield.

00:17:14New England

00:17:14with a fumble recovery.

00:17:16Kurt Warner

00:17:16had the Seattle 49,

00:17:18and now Harris's

00:17:19interception

00:17:19puts the Seahawks

00:17:21in business

00:17:21just on their

00:17:23side of the 50.

00:17:24Craig looking long

00:17:32for Turner.

00:17:35Intercepted by

00:17:36Fred Merriam.

00:17:39The 10,

00:17:4120,

00:17:4230,

00:17:44and Fred Merriam

00:17:46back to the

00:17:4732-yard line

00:17:48with his

00:17:49fifth interception

00:17:50of the year,

00:17:51and we've got

00:17:51some extra

00:17:52pushing and shoving.

00:17:56Well,

00:17:56turnabout is fair play.

00:17:58The Seahawks

00:17:59took it away

00:18:00from Brogan,

00:18:01and the New England

00:18:02Patriots come right

00:18:03back and steal

00:18:04the ball from Craig.

00:18:05Craig trying to get

00:18:06to his speed receiver,

00:18:08the deep man.

00:18:08They want to stretch

00:18:09the defense.

00:18:10The ball is

00:18:10underthrown,

00:18:12and Merriam timed

00:18:13it beautifully,

00:18:14went up over the top.

00:18:15Claiborne would have

00:18:16knocked it away

00:18:17had it been

00:18:17even thrown further,

00:18:19and then it's

00:18:19a fun runback.

00:18:20Looks like a running

00:18:21back here.

00:18:23Marion has had

00:18:24a sensational year,

00:18:25former Miami

00:18:26of Florida star,

00:18:26one of three

00:18:27former Hurricanes,

00:18:29along with

00:18:29Wester Williams

00:18:31and Ron Lippitt

00:18:33on the

00:18:35New England club.

00:18:37We'd like to

00:18:38welcome those of you

00:18:39who have been

00:18:40watching the Miami

00:18:41Dolphins and

00:18:42Indianapolis Colts.

00:18:43We're here at the

00:18:44Kingdome,

00:18:44Dick Henberg and

00:18:45Merlin Olsen,

00:18:45the final of the

00:18:46Dolphins,

00:18:46staying within a game

00:18:48for the Jets,

00:18:48and New England

00:18:49hoping that

00:18:49with a win that

00:18:51they can stay a game

00:18:51ahead of Miami.

00:18:53But Miami had to rally

00:18:54as did the Jets today

00:18:55from early deficits.

00:19:02Fred Marion has just

00:19:03intercepted

00:19:04a Dave Craig pass

00:19:06for New England,

00:19:07returning it

00:19:08as he gathered his

00:19:09momentum from the goal line

00:19:11out to the 32.

00:19:13And Tony Collins

00:19:14struggles for a couple.

00:19:15Thus far,

00:19:16New England has not

00:19:17been able to establish

00:19:18a running game.

00:19:20All the scores

00:19:21for you,

00:19:21early action.

00:19:22Bears embarrassing

00:19:23the Cowboys in Dallas,

00:19:2544 to nothing.

00:19:2634 to 20,

00:19:27Miami,

00:19:28staying within a game

00:19:29of the lead.

00:19:29The Jets,

00:19:3055-28,

00:19:31at over 40 points

00:19:32at halftime

00:19:33after they fell behind

00:19:34early.

00:19:34Pittsburgh,

00:19:35big Houston,

00:19:3530 to 7.

00:19:3724-14,

00:19:39the Eagles are a winner

00:19:39against the Cardinals.

00:19:42Here,

00:19:42no score,

00:19:43four minutes remaining

00:19:44in the first quarter.

00:19:46Second down

00:19:47and eight,

00:19:47Collins trying

00:19:49to get outside.

00:19:50John Harris

00:19:51drops him

00:19:52at the 35.

00:19:56Now to NFL 85,

00:19:58Ahmad Rashad.

00:20:01All right,

00:20:01Dick.

00:20:04Oh,

00:20:05the Chargers

00:20:05starting today

00:20:06at five and five,

00:20:07trying to work

00:20:08their way

00:20:08into the thick

00:20:09of this AFC West.

00:20:10Gary Anderson.

00:20:12Boy,

00:20:12very quickly,

00:20:13that former

00:20:15Arkansas All-American

00:20:16showing that he's

00:20:17going to be one

00:20:17of the top backs

00:20:18in this league.

00:20:20Grogan,

00:20:21scrambling,

00:20:23and he does not,

00:20:24and now he throws

00:20:25wide open.

00:20:25Irving Fryer

00:20:26all the way

00:20:27to the 37-yard line

00:20:28of Seattle

00:20:29in a first down.

00:20:31What a great play

00:20:33by Grogan

00:20:33as he battled

00:20:34for extra time,

00:20:36but Irving Fryer

00:20:37is working

00:20:38one-on-one

00:20:38on Kenny Easley,

00:20:39number 45.

00:20:40You'll see him

00:20:41break to the inside.

00:20:42Easley's the man

00:20:43that's got to

00:20:43protect him.

00:20:44Fryer gets a little

00:20:45push and then

00:20:45gets away,

00:20:46seeing the quarterback

00:20:46in trouble.

00:20:47He's all alone,

00:20:48and Grogan,

00:20:49I think Grogan

00:20:50made it,

00:20:50everyone think

00:20:51he was going

00:20:51to run that football.

00:20:52That quickly stopped

00:20:53and dropped it

00:20:53off to Fryer.

00:20:54Smart play.

00:20:55The old Grogan

00:20:56would have run,

00:20:57but this is a new

00:20:59quarterback,

00:20:59the veteran

00:21:00from Kansas State,

00:21:02who admits

00:21:02that maturity

00:21:03has really worked

00:21:04to his favor,

00:21:05that he's much more

00:21:06sage in his decisions.

00:21:09Broke,

00:21:09Craig James,

00:21:10Jesse,

00:21:11Craig James,

00:21:11for a yard.

00:21:13Kenny Easley

00:21:14right there

00:21:14to greet him.

00:21:15The Seattle Seahawks

00:21:16defense is very

00:21:17aggressive at the ball

00:21:18at the line of scrimmage,

00:21:20easily on the blitz

00:21:21on this play,

00:21:21all the way

00:21:22from the backside

00:21:23to get a piece

00:21:24of that tackle

00:21:24on Craig James.

00:21:26One of the things

00:21:27you'll see these

00:21:28Seahawks defenders

00:21:29doing today,

00:21:30you'll see a lot

00:21:30of movement

00:21:31on the line of scrimmage.

00:21:32They know Grogan

00:21:33is calling his own plays

00:21:34and calling his own audibles.

00:21:35They want to give him

00:21:36a lot of different looks.

00:21:38Give him one look,

00:21:39and just before the snap,

00:21:40they'll shift

00:21:40into the real defense.

00:21:41Scrogan up top

00:21:42for Friar.

00:21:44Oh,

00:21:45Friar had position

00:21:47on Terry Taylor,

00:21:48but couldn't bring it in.

00:21:50I talked to Tom Catlin

00:21:52about his defense,

00:21:53and he said,

00:21:54we know they're going

00:21:55to work on number 20,

00:21:56Terry Taylor,

00:21:56and when we've got

00:21:57Keith Simpson in the game,

00:21:58they'll go after him.

00:21:59These are young players,

00:22:00and they have a tendency

00:22:01to make some mistakes.

00:22:03Friar working one-on-one

00:22:05here on Taylor.

00:22:06Taylor is out in front of him,

00:22:07but Friar backs across

00:22:09his heels here

00:22:10and makes what looked

00:22:11to be an excellent attempt

00:22:12at the ball.

00:22:13Couldn't hang on to it,

00:22:14but that's smart football.

00:22:16Had poor position,

00:22:17just used his jumping ability

00:22:18to get the first shot

00:22:19at the football.

00:22:20Third down,

00:22:21Stephens starring

00:22:34and a first down

00:22:35at the 20-yard line.

00:22:37Starring the former quarterback

00:22:39at McNeese State,

00:22:40up to spear that one only,

00:22:41his sixth catch

00:22:43of the entire season.

00:22:45Here he is in isolation

00:22:46down the sideline

00:22:47very quickly

00:22:48and just breaks

00:22:49to the outside.

00:22:50Once again,

00:22:50working on number 20,

00:22:52Terry Taylor.

00:22:53Starring had to spear

00:22:54that one out of the sky.

00:22:56They really have

00:22:57some great athletes

00:22:58on this New England team,

00:22:59both on offense

00:23:00and on defense.

00:23:02I think that's something

00:23:03you'll see a great deal

00:23:04of today.

00:23:04Raw athletic talent.

00:23:08Deepest drive

00:23:09by either team

00:23:09in this initial quarter.

00:23:11Less than two minutes

00:23:12remaining.

00:23:18They ran away

00:23:19away from the strong side

00:23:20to James,

00:23:21but only for a couple.

00:23:23James,

00:23:23who started today

00:23:24with 695 yards rushing.

00:23:27He was number eight

00:23:28in the league

00:23:28behind Curt Warner.

00:23:29Atlanta

00:23:30has upset the Rams.

00:23:31The Rams off to an 8-0 start

00:23:33have now lost

00:23:34three in a row

00:23:35in Cleveland.

00:23:35Rallies to beat the Bills

00:23:3617-7.

00:23:38Green Bay,

00:23:39big over New Orleans.

00:23:40Trebles continue

00:23:41for Bum Phillips' team.

00:23:43San Diego

00:23:43with the opening

00:23:44kickoff return

00:23:45by Gary Anderson.

00:23:4698 yards to lead

00:23:47at Denver 7-0.

00:23:48Kansas City

00:23:48and the 49ers

00:23:50tied at 3 at Candlestick.

00:23:52The Raiders

00:23:52take the early lead

00:23:53against Boomer Esiason

00:23:54and the Bengals

00:23:55down in Los Angeles

00:23:56and Detroit

00:23:57jumps out

00:23:57to a two-touchdown lead

00:23:58against Minnesota

00:23:59in the first quarter.

00:24:01You're up to date.

00:24:01A draw play to James.

00:24:05A tough runner inside

00:24:07and he's inside the 10.

00:24:09It'll be very close

00:24:10to a first down.

00:24:11James are those happy feet.

00:24:14He has an unusual

00:24:15running style.

00:24:16Has a hesitation

00:24:17kind of style in there

00:24:18but really does a great job

00:24:19of finding the opening.

00:24:21On this play

00:24:22they caught the Seahawks

00:24:23in an all-out attempt

00:24:25to rush the passer.

00:24:26They crossed him up.

00:24:27Second of the night

00:24:28they ran the football.

00:24:29And of course

00:24:30James was into the secondary

00:24:31before anyone had a chance

00:24:33to touch him.

00:24:33They're going to measure

00:24:34for the first down.

00:24:35So it'll either be

00:24:36first and goal

00:24:36or third and inches.

00:24:38New England

00:24:39trying to do something

00:24:40that they have not been

00:24:41very successful at

00:24:42this year.

00:24:43That is scoring

00:24:43in the first quarter.

00:24:45It has been a troublesome

00:24:46spot for Raymond Berry's team

00:24:49even in victory.

00:24:50He says sooner or later

00:24:50that's going to bite us

00:24:51if we can't put the ball

00:24:52into the end zone

00:24:53in that first period.

00:24:55He said we're going to find

00:24:57a game plan

00:24:57for the first quarter eventually.

00:24:59He said I haven't found it

00:25:00because I don't know

00:25:00what it is.

00:25:01Well if they can get

00:25:02this one in

00:25:03they certainly can get off

00:25:04on the right foot here.

00:25:05It's a long drought

00:25:07in the first quarter

00:25:07but they have a chance

00:25:08with the clock ticking

00:25:1047, 46 seconds remaining.

00:25:13First period.

00:25:14Third and inches.

00:25:17Fighting the noise

00:25:19of the kingdom.

00:25:19Grogan.

00:25:26Grogan vaulting forward

00:25:28forward for the first down.

00:25:29Right over the back of center

00:25:32Guy Morris.

00:25:34It's first and goal

00:25:35and that may well be

00:25:36the last play of the quarter.

00:25:38You notice that there was

00:25:38no hesitation on Grogan's part.

00:25:40Even with all that noise

00:25:41he's going to run the play.

00:25:43I asked him will that bother you?

00:25:45He said sure it'll bother us.

00:25:46But he said we're not going to

00:25:47let the crowd dictate

00:25:48if we're going to run a play or not.

00:25:50Even if we have to go

00:25:51without a snap count

00:25:52and they're prepared to do it today.

00:25:54Watching his lips

00:25:55I don't think he called

00:25:56when he just waited

00:25:56and when the snap came

00:25:57he just went over the top

00:25:58of his center.

00:25:59Three all.

00:26:00Cincinnati has kicked

00:26:00a field goal in Los Angeles

00:26:02and the final seconds

00:26:04being erased on the Giants

00:26:05scoreboard here in Seattle

00:26:07and that's it.

00:26:07The first period is history.

00:26:09New England and Seattle

00:26:11battling for a first place spot.

00:26:13A look at the New England

00:26:15scoring story under Grogan.

00:26:18Three points and shut out today.

00:26:2126 in the second,

00:26:2220 in the third.

00:26:23But that fourth quarter

00:26:24he's been brilliant.

00:26:26Almost flawless play

00:26:27in that final period.

00:26:29That's so unlike

00:26:30the old Steve Grogan.

00:26:31It was said at one time

00:26:33if Grogan gets a hot start

00:26:34look out.

00:26:35If he gets off badly

00:26:36he gets himself down.

00:26:38He gets down on himself

00:26:39and he'll start to make the mistakes.

00:26:41Well he has certainly matured.

00:26:42I think sitting out

00:26:43those 18 games

00:26:44and watching and saying

00:26:45now what would I have done

00:26:46if I'd had a chance

00:26:47to be in there

00:26:48really helped him.

00:26:50First and goal

00:26:51as we open the second quarter.

00:26:52First scoreless game

00:26:53here in Seattle.

00:26:58Irving Friar

00:26:59untouched

00:27:00and New England lead

00:27:016-0.

00:27:03Beautiful block

00:27:04by Big John Hanna.

00:27:05And what the Patriots

00:27:06are doing here

00:27:07is taking advantage

00:27:08of one of the strengths

00:27:09of this Seattle defense.

00:27:11They pursue so quickly.

00:27:13They simply show them

00:27:14a little movement

00:27:15out to the right.

00:27:16Reverse the ball

00:27:17back to Friar.

00:27:17That's his 7th run

00:27:19on a reverse this year.

00:27:20A little fake inside

00:27:21to the two backs.

00:27:22James going in

00:27:23and here comes Friar.

00:27:24Now watch 73.

00:27:26The block by Hanna.

00:27:27Right there.

00:27:28Knocked Jacob Green

00:27:30off on the play

00:27:31and into the end zone

00:27:32untouched.

00:27:33Goes Friar.

00:27:34Tony Franklin

00:27:35to try the point after.

00:27:37He has not missed

00:27:37as a Patriot

00:27:38and he's right down

00:27:39the middle with that one.

00:27:40Irving Friar's

00:27:417th touchdown

00:27:42of the year

00:27:43gives New England

00:27:44in the lead.

00:27:46Seattle, Washington

00:27:46where it's cold

00:27:48and rainy

00:27:48and snowing

00:27:49in parts of

00:27:50the metropolitan area

00:27:51today.

00:27:52Glad we are indoors.

00:27:53Rarely do we

00:27:54ever utter those words.

00:27:57Tony Franklin's kick

00:27:58is very short

00:27:59toward the sidelines

00:28:00and will go

00:28:01out of bounds

00:28:03and with it

00:28:04a five-yard penalty

00:28:05and that gives us

00:28:06a chance to go

00:28:07to Ahmad Rashad.

00:28:10All right, Dickon.

00:28:12Dick Watson

00:28:12for a four-yard touchdown.

00:28:13The extra point

00:28:14is good.

00:28:15In the first quarter

00:28:16they're all tied

00:28:16at 7-7.

00:28:20Ahmad Rashad.

00:28:21He learned that

00:28:21from Fran Tarkington.

00:28:22Nifty.

00:28:25Does he use

00:28:25that Tarkington roll

00:28:26to turn his back

00:28:27on you every now

00:28:28and again?

00:28:29This New England team

00:28:30has had problems

00:28:31on the kickoffs, Dick.

00:28:32Tony Franklin

00:28:33has not been able

00:28:34to kick the ball

00:28:35consistently deep

00:28:36on the kickoffs.

00:28:37They had an operation.

00:28:38He had an operation

00:28:39on his plant foot

00:28:40during the offseason

00:28:41as plant leg.

00:28:42They felt that

00:28:42that would give him

00:28:43more power.

00:28:43It simply hasn't happened.

00:28:45They're trying to kick

00:28:46to positions on the field

00:28:47but boy, I'll tell you

00:28:48when you can't get

00:28:49that ball deep

00:28:50when you give

00:28:50a receiving team

00:28:52a return team

00:28:52a chance to start up field

00:28:54you give

00:28:55the opposing offense

00:28:56a big boost.

00:28:58Paul Scancy

00:28:59will edge up

00:29:00to about the

00:29:01five-yard line

00:29:02and Seattle

00:29:04should have a good shot

00:29:05at a decent return here.

00:29:06The kick is driven

00:29:07but low

00:29:08taken by Randall Morris

00:29:10at the 20.

00:29:1330

00:29:13could go all the way

00:29:15now.

00:29:16Morris

00:29:16out of bounds

00:29:19at the

00:29:1936-yard line

00:29:21of New England

00:29:22and they love it

00:29:23in Seattle.

00:29:23That's what you were

00:29:32talking about

00:29:33Merlin.

00:29:33It's a low

00:29:34line drive kick.

00:29:36It's impossible

00:29:37to get down there

00:29:38and cover it.

00:29:38You've got to get

00:29:39the hang time.

00:29:40Scancy up to block

00:29:41but Morris

00:29:43doesn't need much

00:29:44and Tony Franklin

00:29:45really makes a saving play

00:29:46here.

00:29:47Throws his body

00:29:47in there

00:29:48and if Randall Morris

00:29:49had jumped

00:29:50to the inside

00:29:51instead of the outside

00:29:52he'd still be running.

00:29:5458 yards

00:29:55on the return

00:29:56the longest

00:29:56against the Patriots

00:29:57this year.

00:29:59Movement on the right

00:30:00side

00:30:00of the line

00:30:01for Seattle.

00:30:03That was

00:30:03Dan Ross

00:30:05the veteran

00:30:05tight end.

00:30:08Rusty Tillman

00:30:09the man who

00:30:10coaches these

00:30:11special teams.

00:30:11Full start

00:30:12number 78

00:30:14offense

00:30:15first down.

00:30:16Ryder and Ross

00:30:17both moving

00:30:17and Ryder the tackle

00:30:18picks up

00:30:19the penalty.

00:30:23There's Chick Harris

00:30:24on the sideline.

00:30:25He'll be signaling

00:30:25the plays

00:30:26into Dave Craig.

00:30:28Chuck Knox

00:30:28standing there

00:30:29to have his input.

00:30:31Ray Prohaska

00:30:32is the

00:30:32offensive coordinator.

00:30:33Rod Rust

00:30:34will signal in

00:30:35the defense

00:30:35for the Patriots.

00:30:36Those men

00:30:36matching wits

00:30:38on the two sidelines.

00:30:39The reason why

00:30:39you didn't see

00:30:40Chick Harris

00:30:40signaling in there

00:30:41is they're using

00:30:42the same play

00:30:42as was called

00:30:43before the penalty.

00:30:45It's Kurt Warner.

00:30:46Big hole.

00:30:4730-25

00:30:49the first down

00:30:50at the 20.

00:30:59Big gains

00:31:00from the running

00:31:01game of the

00:31:02Seattle Seahawks

00:31:03almost nonexistent

00:31:04during 1985.

00:31:06Well, here

00:31:07in a passing

00:31:08situation

00:31:09Warner gets

00:31:11downfield

00:31:12gets very close

00:31:13in fact

00:31:14picks up

00:31:14at the first down.

00:31:16Roland James

00:31:17made the tackle

00:31:17after a 20-yard

00:31:18game.

00:31:19That's 67 yards.

00:31:20Steve Largent

00:31:21wide receiver.

00:31:23He also

00:31:23just enough

00:31:25of a push

00:31:26on Raymond

00:31:26Claiborne

00:31:27to help

00:31:27his runner

00:31:28get a couple

00:31:28more.

00:31:29First down

00:31:29at the Patriots

00:31:3020.

00:31:31Warner again.

00:31:33All down

00:31:33for a yard loss

00:31:35as Kenneth Sims

00:31:36with a

00:31:37long arm

00:31:38of the Texas

00:31:39law there

00:31:39to drag

00:31:40him down

00:31:40from behind.

00:31:41Very physical

00:31:42player.

00:31:42Had some

00:31:43injury problems

00:31:44and I think

00:31:44some attitude

00:31:45problems

00:31:45when he first

00:31:46came into the

00:31:46league.

00:31:47They banged

00:31:48his head

00:31:49a few times

00:31:49gave him

00:31:50a chance

00:31:50to finally

00:31:51grow into

00:31:51the role

00:31:52as number

00:31:53one draft

00:31:53pick

00:31:54and hero

00:31:54on that

00:31:55defensive line

00:31:56and he has

00:31:57responded

00:31:57admirably

00:31:58in this

00:31:58season.

00:32:01Second down.

00:32:05Close to

00:32:0511.

00:32:14Warner has

00:32:15been the

00:32:15workman

00:32:16and pays

00:32:16the price

00:32:17as he gets

00:32:18just to

00:32:18the 19-yard

00:32:19line.

00:32:20Larry McGrew

00:32:21from Southern

00:32:22California

00:32:24starred in

00:37:18Warner

00:37:20a couple

00:37:21yards on

00:37:22first down

00:37:23and almost

00:37:23a late hit

00:37:24by the

00:37:24Patriots

00:37:25Aaron

00:37:26Varis

00:37:26a little

00:37:27late

00:37:27getting in

00:37:28Steve

00:37:28Nelson

00:37:28the primary

00:37:29hitter

00:37:29Varis

00:37:30they like

00:37:31the way

00:37:31he's developed

00:37:32he's from

00:37:32Stanford

00:37:33a second

00:37:33round pick

00:37:34played his

00:37:35high school

00:37:35ball in

00:37:36Ohio

00:37:36and he has

00:37:37five sacks

00:37:37he'll go in

00:37:38for Julius Adams

00:37:39in past

00:37:40situations

00:37:40he was a

00:37:41weight man

00:37:42track man

00:37:42at Stanford

00:37:43and hasn't

00:37:44really bulked up

00:37:45like they want

00:37:46him to

00:37:46he's putting

00:37:47on pounds

00:37:47working hard

00:37:48on the weight

00:37:48program

00:37:48but when he gets

00:37:49another ten pounds

00:37:50on him

00:37:50look out

00:37:51less than

00:37:52eleven minutes

00:37:53remaining in the

00:37:53first half

00:37:54seven nothing

00:37:54New England

00:37:55Craig

00:37:59all day

00:38:00Warner

00:38:01draws a crowd

00:38:03at the

00:38:04fourteen yard

00:38:04line

00:38:05and

00:38:06that'll be

00:38:07a gain of

00:38:08only a yard

00:38:09maybe a loss

00:38:10this Patriot team

00:38:12certainly playing

00:38:13outstanding defense

00:38:14on the year

00:38:15ranked fourth

00:38:16in the NFL

00:38:16and here are the

00:38:17three top tacklers

00:38:18Steve Nelson

00:38:19their leader

00:38:20and in spite of

00:38:21missing that game

00:38:22last week

00:38:22still a top

00:38:23tackler

00:38:23with 86

00:38:24coming into the

00:38:25game

00:38:25Fred Marion

00:38:26of course

00:38:26a tough safety

00:38:27you've seen

00:38:28what he can do

00:38:28in this game

00:38:29already

00:38:29and Larry

00:38:30McGrew

00:38:30Dick

00:38:31I think

00:38:31this linebacking

00:38:32crew for the

00:38:33Patriots

00:38:33is the strongest

00:38:34overall in the

00:38:35NFL

00:38:36that's an

00:38:37interesting comment

00:38:38they've got

00:38:39good depth

00:38:40as well

00:38:40Rembert

00:38:41filled in

00:38:41neatly for

00:38:42Nelson

00:38:43last week

00:38:43third down

00:38:44and nine

00:38:45Craig

00:38:46turned around

00:38:48what a job

00:38:51he did

00:38:51and then throws

00:38:52the ball away

00:38:52in the end zone

00:38:53and Norm Johnson

00:38:55in the field goal

00:38:55unit will be on

00:38:56but Craig

00:38:56saved the sack

00:38:57with his

00:38:58nimble footwork

00:39:00well actually

00:39:00with hand work

00:39:01got one hand

00:39:02on the ground

00:39:02which he's allowed

00:39:03to do

00:39:04last week

00:39:05against New Orleans

00:39:06on a couple

00:39:06of occasions

00:39:07he was fighting

00:39:08his way out of

00:39:09traffic

00:39:09and actually

00:39:10tripped and fell

00:39:11and he was very

00:39:11angry at himself

00:39:12so I think

00:39:13that's a chance

00:39:14for him to get

00:39:15back and have

00:39:16a good play

00:39:16in that direction

00:39:17threw it away

00:39:18obviously

00:39:18Norm Johnson

00:39:19will get another

00:39:20chance

00:39:20and gosh

00:39:21you really feel

00:39:22that these Seahawks

00:39:23need to have him

00:39:24back on track

00:39:25here in the

00:39:26late part of the

00:39:27season

00:39:27a 32 yard attempt

00:39:29he's got it

00:39:31so two trips

00:39:36deep into New England

00:39:37territory for Seattle

00:39:38but only three points

00:39:40for Chuck Knopf

00:39:40into three New England

00:39:41they've been watching

00:39:42the sidelines

00:39:43all season long

00:39:43and pointing out

00:39:44those guys

00:39:44with the signals

00:39:45do you ever try

00:39:46to steal

00:39:46any of those

00:39:47not me

00:39:48but I know

00:39:49that Chuck Knox

00:39:49is famous for that

00:39:50other coaches

00:39:51around the league

00:39:52know that he has

00:39:52people watching

00:39:53the signals

00:39:54and there are

00:39:54things you try

00:39:55and find out

00:39:55for example

00:39:56if you can

00:39:56break the signals

00:39:57for a defense

00:39:57you know

00:39:58when they're

00:39:58blitzing

00:39:58very important

00:39:59and for an

00:40:00offense

00:40:00you'd like to

00:40:01know whether

00:40:01they're running

00:40:01or going to

00:40:02pass

00:40:02then you can

00:40:03alter your

00:40:03defenses

00:40:04quickly to

00:40:04that regard

00:40:05well you might

00:40:06see a man

00:40:06high in the sky

00:40:07with the binoculars

00:40:08to see if they

00:40:08can pick up

00:40:09that information

00:40:10and indeed

00:40:11you had a story

00:40:13a personal story

00:40:14involving signals

00:41:17rookie

00:41:17even when he

00:41:19injured his ribs

00:41:20in a preseason

00:41:21game at

00:41:22Washington

00:41:22and that

00:41:23slowed him

00:41:23down

00:41:23when he

00:41:24finally got

00:41:24back

00:41:24then he

00:41:51about Steve

00:41:51Grogan's return

00:41:52to the lineup

00:41:53is that he has

00:44:32of running

00:44:32game

00:44:33you force

00:44:34the defensive

00:44:34lineman to think

00:44:35about the run

00:44:36slows down that

00:44:37first step

00:44:40out of

00:44:43Tony

00:44:43Franklin's

00:44:44range

00:45:48defenders

00:45:48were in

00:45:48behind

00:45:49Walker

00:45:49it looked

00:45:50like that

00:45:50ball

00:45:50dangerously

00:45:51close to

00:45:52the ground

00:45:52Walker

00:45:53doing a

00:45:53good job

00:45:54of getting

00:46:01four yards

00:46:02to go

00:46:02there's

00:46:03what's

00:46:03happened

00:46:03to the

00:46:04Seattle

00:46:04Seahawks

00:46:04they've

00:46:05not had

00:46:05the ball

00:46:05more than

00:46:05six plays

00:46:06on their

00:46:07previous five

00:46:07possessions

00:46:08so they're

00:46:08trying to

00:46:09sustain something

00:46:10for the first

00:46:11time in the

00:46:11half

00:46:12whoops

00:46:14Ken Sims

00:46:15a bit

00:46:18premature

00:46:18and what do you do

00:46:19when you're in here

00:46:20that early

00:46:20you point at someone

00:46:21well

00:46:22and I'll tell you

00:46:23what else you do

00:46:23if you're Dave

00:46:24Craig you get to the

00:46:24ground in a hurry

00:46:25I mean

00:46:26Sims almost got there

00:46:28when the football

00:46:29was there

00:46:29you don't mind him

00:46:30coming to dinner

00:46:31but not quite that

00:46:32fast

00:46:32now watch Craig

00:46:33he looks up

00:46:34and he says

00:46:34hey what is this

00:46:35watch him go to the

00:46:36ground there

00:46:36and Eric Lane

00:46:38over to try and

00:46:39protect him

00:46:39no one apparently

00:46:41moved on the

00:46:42Seattle liners

00:46:43scrimmage

00:46:43so Sims gets a

00:46:44five yard penalty

00:46:45and of course

00:46:47the Seattle Seahawks

00:46:48pick up a first down

00:46:49earned the name

00:46:51nickname game day

00:46:52because he prefers

00:46:53Sundays over those

00:46:55work days

00:46:55in the middle of the

00:46:56week

00:46:56well I don't blame

00:46:57him for that

00:53:01Derrick Ramsey has been the

00:53:05forgotten man in this New

00:53:06England season

00:53:07Ramsey number 88

00:53:09out of Kentucky last year

00:53:10caught 66 passes for a New

00:53:13England record this year

00:53:14They've used him only 17 times.

00:53:217-3 with a minute 49 left in the half.

00:53:24The Patriots look at second and ten from their 41.

00:53:33Friar near side.

00:53:36Cedric Jones to the far side.

00:53:37Friar was open with the pass behind him at the Seattle 43.

00:53:49Some heat on Grogan.

00:53:51I'll tell you one thing about Steve Grogan.

00:53:54He'll stand in there until the last possible second and take the crack.

00:53:58He'll take that shot just to get the pass away.

00:54:01In fact, talking to Joe Klecko of the New York Jets, he said,

00:54:04we hit Grogan so hard we crushed him.

00:54:07But we thought he would never get off the ground.

00:54:09He bounced right back up, called another pass play,

00:54:12and threw it down for a completion.

00:54:14He is one tough quarterback.

00:54:16Third and ten.

00:54:28And he goes in the grasp of Joe Nash.

00:54:33A flag is also down.

00:54:35Nash, a free agent out of Boston College.

00:54:39You know, the Patriots through the years have taken more players from Boston College,

00:54:4215, than any other college or university.

00:54:45But they didn't pick Nash.

00:54:46No one did.

00:54:47And Seattle found themselves an all-pro at nose tackle in that man.

00:54:51But penalty against Seattle.

00:54:53Offside.

00:54:54Offside number 22 defense.

00:54:57Third down.

00:54:58Dave Brown, the cornerback, was offside.

00:55:01Watch the big stunt going on inside.

00:55:03They're going to take Bryant and bring him all the way to the inside.

00:55:06And Nash is going to run around all the way to the outside.

00:55:09Backers are blitzing to the inside.

00:55:12And, of course, they end up getting great pressure on Grogan here.

00:55:15There's the play to the outside.

00:55:17It's Nash going all the way back out around.

00:55:19They do a good job of picking it up.

00:55:21But there he is to get a piece of the tackle.

00:55:24Dave Brown, the cornerback, lined up on the scrimmage line, was offside.

00:55:28So another chance for Grogan on third and five.

00:55:33Incomplete.

00:55:33Intended for Fryer.

00:55:34And Kenny Easley was right there for Seattle.

00:55:38Though with a minute 35 left, Seattle will have some time.

00:55:41All their timeouts remain to try to take the lead before the intermission.

00:55:45Dangerously close to a reception.

00:55:48Easley makes a good reaction to cover some distance here.

00:55:51He's got to get outside on Fryer.

00:55:54And he didn't get there in time to stop that pass.

00:55:56Fryer just couldn't hang on to it as Grogan was able to get it off

00:55:59into an area where Easley couldn't touch it.

00:56:03Paul Scanty will return for Seattle.

00:56:05He's back at the ten.

00:56:08They've been coming after Camarillo.

00:56:10And they have ten men on the line of scrimmage this time.

00:56:12Scanty will return it.

00:56:18Fifteen.

00:56:20Twenty-five.

00:56:22Forty.

00:56:23And down at the forty-five.

00:56:26The former Husky.

00:56:27University of Washington, Paul Scanty.

00:56:30With a superb return.

00:56:32You win.

00:56:33Your defense plays big games.

00:56:36And that's been the Patriots story.

00:56:38The last five games they've allowed an average of less than twelve points per game to their opponents.

00:56:43Almost cut that twenty-two point six in the half.

00:56:46And, of course, during that period of time have made so many big plays on defense.

00:56:50And number fifty-six on the left-hand side of your screen, Andre Tippett.

00:56:54A very big part of that story.

00:56:56But has been strangely silent so far in this game.

00:56:59We have not seen him making the kind of plays that he has been making throughout the season.

00:57:03We'll keep an eye on and see what's going on.

00:57:05What they're doing to slow him down in there.

00:57:07Thirty-two-yard punt return by Scanty.

00:57:09The two big plays for Seattle have been kick returns in this half.

00:57:12Craig has a man open.

00:57:15Eric Lane.

00:57:16Out of bounds at the New England forty-five-yard line.

00:57:20That stops the clock with a minute seventeen seconds left in the half.

00:57:23Ron Essink, number sixty-four, the left tackle, apparently knocked down on that play.

00:57:30Looks like he's got a hold of his left hand, though, right hand.

00:57:34He'll go to the sideline for a play, perhaps.

00:57:37Ryan Mallard probably will be in his place on that left-hand side.

00:57:41The doctors, Jim Weitzel, a trainer over quickly to take a look at him.

00:57:47Craig, a rather quiet first half throwing the football.

00:57:53First down.

00:57:57And he threw that one away.

00:57:59Eric Lane, covered by Don Blackman, and Tippett was applying the pressure that time.

00:58:04Andre Tippett, so powerful and quick.

00:58:07You see him coming from a three-point stance in that situation.

00:58:10Two men trying to block him.

00:58:12He simply ran out of time.

00:58:14He was blowing through it, gotten away from both of those blockers.

00:58:17Boy, he is explosive.

00:58:19Maybe that's why we haven't heard much from him.

00:58:21They're putting two men on him.

00:58:22You better believe that if he was on the other side of the line

00:58:25and I was responsible, I'd have at least two guys on him.

00:58:31A minute, 12 seconds left in the first half.

00:58:33Seattle's second and ten from the Patriot, 45.

00:58:37Four wide receivers for the Hawks.

00:58:39The Hawks.

00:58:44Incomplete.

00:58:45Marion was covering Steve Larchens.

00:58:47Dave Craig from Little Milton, Wisconsin College.

00:58:57Dave Craig, of course, taking the snap in the shotgun.

00:59:00We'll get the pressure from the left-hand side.

00:59:03Just go ahead and roll it.

00:59:05We'll see it coming in from the outside here.

00:59:07They run a stunt out there.

00:59:09And Tippett's coming inside.

00:59:12Kreider there to meet him.

00:59:13They were able to get good protection for Craig.

00:59:16He simply overthrew the pass.

00:59:20Turner and Largent both to the right.

00:59:24Walker and Scanty to the left.

00:59:26Third and ten.

00:59:32Craig for Largent.

00:59:33He's got it out of bounds.

00:59:37Complete at the 26-yard line.

00:59:40And that is a new NFL record.

00:59:43Steve Largent becomes the only man in history

00:59:46that eight years of catching 50 or more passes.

00:59:52Largent.

00:59:53Excuse me, Dick.

00:59:54Largent is just a master.

00:59:56You see him cutting across the heels

00:59:57and gets Rod McSwain, 23, to turn.

01:00:00It's such a great secret for him

01:00:03to get those defensive backs

01:00:04to do what he wants them to do.

01:00:06He just forces them to make a turn,

01:00:07get out of position,

01:00:08and then quickly back into the pattern.

01:00:11He buries his patterns all the time.

01:00:12It's hard to figure out where he's going.

01:00:14But he knows, and Craig knows.

01:00:17And Raymond Berry appreciates.

01:00:19He's part of the admiration society.

01:00:21In fact, Raymond Berry likens this young man,

01:00:24his talents, to what Berry used in his great year.

01:00:26One was that they both had 50 catches or more

01:00:29in seven seasons, as did Art Powell

01:00:31with the Titans and the Raiders,

01:00:33Lance Allworth, and Charlie Taylor.

01:00:35Now only Steve Largent,

01:00:38the sole receiver to catch 50

01:00:40in eight different years.

01:00:42Only his 10th season in the league.

01:00:44Eight times with 50 catches or more.

01:00:47One of the things that jumps out in similarity

01:00:49between those two men

01:00:50is how hard they worked to utilize their talent.

01:00:53Both spend long hours,

01:00:55spend long hours,

01:00:56and Largent's still spending those hours,

01:00:57to work with his quarterback after practice.

01:01:00You'll see him the last man off the field

01:01:03more than once a week.

01:01:06Meanwhile, Seattle in position

01:01:08to take the lead before halftime.

01:01:09Exactly a minute remaining

01:01:10from the 26th of New England.

01:01:13Craig going deep for Turner.

01:01:16Nicely covered by Rod McSwain.

01:01:19It was a third-round pick

01:01:21of the Atlanta Falcons last year,

01:01:23and the Falcons decided they didn't need him,

01:01:26so New England went after him

01:01:28and picked him off for a number-eight draft choice

01:01:30and a good fifth defensive back.

01:01:33Certainly did a great job on Turner in that situation.

01:01:36Turner leading the NFL with 10 receptions

01:01:39on four touchdowns.

01:01:42Of course, any time they can try and get him deep,

01:01:45he's in danger to catch that football

01:01:46and put some points on the board.

01:01:4855 seconds left in the half.

01:01:51Second and 10.

01:01:59Craig in trouble.

01:02:01And down he goes.

01:02:02From behind, Garen Varis,

01:02:05his sixth sack of the year.

01:02:07The rookie from Stanford,

01:02:08and time called by the Seahawks

01:02:11to stop the clock at the 48-second mark.

01:02:13John Borchardt is in there.

01:02:15We talked about Essig being injured,

01:02:17and it's Borchardt's man, Varis,

01:02:21who gets up off the ground,

01:02:22and it's hard to blame a young offensive lineman for that

01:02:26because Craig just simply took too long

01:02:28and actually was trying to run out of there

01:02:29when Varis caught his heels.

01:02:31It'll be a loss of about eight yards in the play,

01:02:33and there are the top sack masters for the Pats.

01:02:36Tippett with 10 among the leaders.

01:02:38Blackman with 8, including 1 today,

01:02:40and Varis' count up to six with Kenneth Sims 5.

01:02:44They lead the AFC.

01:02:45Well, Andre Tippett leads the AFC,

01:02:48or led, coming into today,

01:02:49but so far today he has been shut out

01:02:51of the soccer department.

01:02:53Tippett last year had 18 and a half,

01:02:55second only to Mark Gastineau's 22.

01:02:58There's Andre, a black belt in karate.

01:03:02Boy, he's a big linebacker.

01:03:03I have to believe that that really helps him, too,

01:03:06in his pass rush.

01:03:07He knows how to use leverage so well.

01:03:08He knows how to use a man's strength against him.

01:03:11You notice how he has his sleeves tied up there.

01:03:15When you get in and you're rushing,

01:03:16these offensive linemen grab everything

01:03:18they can get a hold of.

01:03:19Well, Tippett doesn't want to give him

01:03:21any cloth there on the sleeves.

01:03:22I thought that was just to show off those huge biceps.

01:03:28Big play for both clubs, third and 18.

01:03:31And a flag down before the snap.

01:03:40That usually means illegal motion.

01:03:43He had someone off before the ball.

01:03:46Might have been Bob Fryder, the right tackle.

01:03:49I think maybe Largent, too, number 80, was moving.

01:03:52False start.

01:03:53What's the number?

01:03:54Well, we can't help.

01:03:56Maybe he wants to ask us.

01:03:59All start, number 78, offense, turn down.

01:04:03It was, Brad.

01:04:03That's like the kid in the Christmas pageant

01:04:05who then says the wrong line and covers his mouth.

01:04:08Mark Bright didn't know his microphone was on.

01:04:11What's the number?

01:04:12Better to have it right than to have it wrong.

01:04:15Bob Fryder, of course, a former Patriot himself,

01:04:18traded here to Seattle, has become a fixture for the Seahawks,

01:04:21battling against his own teammates.

01:04:23And next to him, Robert Pratt, who's back in the lineup.

01:04:25He's played against these Patriots many times.

01:04:28Of course, came here from the Baltimore Colts,

01:04:31the then Baltimore Colts.

01:04:34Third and long for Dave Craig from a crowd.

01:04:39Looks for Largent, can't find him at the 28.

01:04:42They're going to give him a reception, Dick.

01:04:45Claiborne on the coverage.

01:04:47They're going to give him a reception.

01:04:49No, no, no, they did not have possession of the ball.

01:04:52That's exactly right.

01:04:53But the official who called it first was looking at his feet.

01:04:58And the call was based on what happened to Largent's feet.

01:05:03Now, the pass right here.

01:05:04Largent is knocked out of bounds.

01:05:05Ball onto the ball when he landed out of bounds.

01:05:07Ruled incomplete.

01:05:08Okay.

01:05:08And they're exactly right.

01:05:10But right here, you get the ruling

01:05:12because he's pushed out of bounds.

01:05:13The official who made the call

01:05:15could not see what happened at the end of the play.

01:05:17In fact, even our camera angle was tough to see the ball obscured.

01:05:20But another official quickly in to help with the call.

01:05:23And that's good.

01:05:24It's good to see them work as a team that way.

01:05:26Well, we've had the big scoring games in the short side of that.

01:05:29The field goal battle down in Los Angeles

01:05:31between the Bengals and Raiders

01:05:32in contrast to that Jets-Tampa Bay game.

01:05:36Beautiful kick by Fenzer,

01:05:38but it goes into the end zone.

01:05:39And with it, a touchback for the Patriots.

01:05:43And 31 seconds remain for Raymond Berry's Patriots.

01:05:47They have their timeouts left, at least two of them.

01:05:50Will they try to go for an addition to that 7-3 lead?

01:05:53We'll have all the scores, the outstanding plays of the day.

01:05:56You can almost do an NFL 85 on the Jets offense alone.

01:06:00And the Bears defense.

01:06:01And a part of a highlight.

01:06:03No question about it.

01:06:04Raymond Berry, the praise of this man's leadership growing each week.

01:06:15A lot of folks, because of his taciturn demeanor, wondering,

01:06:19well, what's he do anyway?

01:06:21Well, what he does is build confidence in his team.

01:06:23And they really love him as a man and as a leader.

01:06:26He wants them to take credit.

01:06:27He will not take a chance here on the road with a 7-3 lead,

01:06:31content to run out the clock.

01:06:33And so will Chuck Knox.

01:06:34So with 20 seconds left, both teams are already on their way to the locker room.

01:06:41That might be a new record.

01:06:43Steve Grogan will be in the locker room before the gun sounds ending the first half.

01:06:52Now it's official.

01:06:56Raymond Berry, looking for the Patriots' sixth consecutive win,

01:07:00has a 7-3 lead, and it's certainly tough here in Seattle to beat the Seahawks,

01:07:07as many have learned.

01:07:09New England, with a win, would move back into a tie,

01:07:11sharing first place with the New York Jets, a team.

01:07:14They'll play next Sunday.

01:07:15And, of course, here in Seattle, every time a Denver-San Diego score is announced

01:07:19and San Diego leads, they cheer because they're hoping for a Seattle win

01:07:22and a Denver loss that would vault the Seahawks into a tie for first place.

01:07:25Right back in the thick of it, wouldn't it?

01:07:27Well, the one touchdown we had of the first half, we now can show you,

01:07:30the reverse by Irving Fryer on first and goal at the 8.

01:07:32An interesting call.

01:07:34Very interesting call.

01:07:35And, again, taking advantage of the quick reactions of that Seattle defense.

01:07:40You'll see the block again by John Hanna.

01:07:42It was critical in that situation,

01:07:44freeing up Irving Fryer to use his speed

01:07:46and, of course, get himself into the end zone.

01:07:48One of the few offensive highlights that we had in this first half.

01:07:52Most everything dominated by the defenses.

01:07:54And almost dangerously close to being covered by New England.

01:07:59That's a free ball.

01:08:01Seattle finally pounces on it at the 23-yard line.

01:08:04Seattle let a kick bounce like that early in the game,

01:08:07and it went out of bounds.

01:08:08But you can't afford to make a mistake like that.

01:08:10You've got to get your body on that football.

01:08:12Seahawks get their first chance here in the second half.

01:08:15I'm sure they've had a chance to talk some strategy,

01:08:18look at what this New England defense is doing.

01:08:21And while they're lining up, let's look quickly at the yardage.

01:08:25And 154 yards for the Patriots, 129 for the Seahawks.

01:08:28Not an impressive stat, certainly.

01:08:31Turnover is even at 2 in the first half.

01:08:32And time of possession.

01:08:33So it was as even as the score would reflect.

01:08:36Only one touchdown, that by New England.

01:08:39Craig over the middle to Eric Lane,

01:08:42who was smothered by Steve Nelson

01:08:43after a game of about seven.

01:08:48Take one of the things you have to admire

01:08:50about Chuck Knox and his staff.

01:08:52They have had a lot of problems,

01:08:53a lot of player problems this year.

01:08:55Losing Hughes and Dornick.

01:08:57They're two, they're number one and number two fullbacks.

01:08:59And they've got to go to a guy

01:09:00who's really a special teams player, Eric Lane.

01:09:03But Knox said something interesting.

01:09:04He said at least he knows who to get

01:09:06and how to get him.

01:09:07And has responded when we've given him the opportunity.

01:09:10That's typical of Knox teams.

01:09:12Lane only 195 pounds,

01:09:14so he'd have to be the lightest fullback in the league

01:09:17starting today.

01:09:19Craig under pressure, trying to dump it off to Warner.

01:09:22That's the good news, that Warner's back in the lineup.

01:09:24But the bad news is they misconnect

01:09:26as Craig was being hit around the ankles

01:09:28as he delivered the ball.

01:09:29Andre Tippett.

01:09:31They wondered what had been happening to Tippett.

01:09:33Well, his presence felt instantly

01:09:35here in the second half.

01:09:36Watch him.

01:09:37That's Robert Pratt, 61, trying to pick him up.

01:09:39And he just blows over the top of Pratt

01:09:41and goes right into Craig's legs.

01:09:44Craig smartly getting rid of that football out of bounds

01:09:46saves the sack.

01:09:50Third down and seven.

01:09:51Tippett and Lippett side by side

01:09:59on the left side for New England.

01:10:02Craig has a man open.

01:10:05Paul Scancy, first down at the 37.

01:10:09Roland James with a solid hit,

01:10:11but a 12-yard gain for the Hawks.

01:10:14The protection that time by the Seattle offensive line,

01:10:18not as big as that huge line for the Patriots

01:10:21we mentioned earlier.

01:10:23Of course, they've been hurt,

01:10:24although Essink is back in the ballgame here

01:10:26in the second half.

01:10:27He left toward the end of the third quarter.

01:10:30That's good news for the Seahawks.

01:10:36Largent to the left on first down.

01:10:45Warner for about five.

01:10:48We ask about Kurt Warner's ankle.

01:10:52He gives us a quick answer.

01:10:54Good quickness on that play as he exploded.

01:10:58And that was similar to the kinds of plays

01:10:59he got off with in the first series today.

01:11:01Had some excellent runs in that first series.

01:11:04And there you see the cutting ability,

01:11:06that staggering, wavering kind of look there.

01:11:08So difficult for a defense to set up on a back

01:11:11who can move so quickly from left to right.

01:11:14Four yards make it second and six,

01:11:16and he's got seventy-three yards for the afternoon.

01:11:26Through the hands of Eric Lane, the fullback.

01:11:29It's going to be tough for him.

01:11:31He's called upon to do a lot of blocking.

01:11:33And while Lane has been a star on the special teams,

01:11:35he's, in fact, the co-captain

01:11:36in a role that he's not totally familiar.

01:11:40He's a halfback when used before,

01:11:43third behind Warner and Randall Morris.

01:11:46You mentioned the yardage for Warner.

01:11:49He's averaged 5.8 yards per carry,

01:11:52so he's had an excellent average on the day.

01:11:53Craig James, 4.9 per carry on the day.

01:12:05Eric Lane covered well by Don Blackman.

01:12:08Blackman was playing in front of Lane.

01:12:10Now they're booing Craig,

01:12:11but had he thrown the ball on target,

01:12:13Blackman would have had a sure interception.

01:12:16I think a good part of maturity for a quarterback

01:12:19is knowing when he's got to get rid of that football,

01:12:21not taking the sack,

01:12:23just simply putting it out of bounds

01:12:24or eating it if he has to

01:12:26rather than take the risks.

01:12:29Finzer to punt.

01:12:31Irving Fryer,

01:12:33second only to Lewis Lips of Pittsburgh,

01:12:36both in return yardage.

01:12:38They both have two touchdowns returned this year.

01:12:41That was short kick.

01:12:43Fryer on the run at the 30.

01:12:4535, and boy, he's a gambler.

01:12:48What a great play by Irving Fryer.

01:12:50Get it.
