00:00:00He's trying to hold off the Patriots well the fans may not have liked it land, but coach coach Lehman Bennett is not
00:00:06With it you're in no position deep in your own territory with 20 seconds left in the half to get to get
00:00:13Daring and try to get some cheap points because it's just not going to be there in all likelihood you turn the ball over and get yourself deeper in debt
00:00:20Well the toughest halftime will be performed by the doctors and trainers in both locker rooms
00:00:25To burn against the wave week a Stefan starring doesn't get much of one, but he did get it out to the 13 before ivory sully
00:00:32number 44 made the stop
00:00:35congratulated by Mike Pryor and
00:00:37two more geyser that garen varis for the Patriots Patriots rather and Chris Lindstrom another New England fellow
00:00:44He played at BU comes out of Weymouth and Chris Lindstrom one of the five Lindstrom brothers of Weymouth
00:00:51He is also down. This is unbelievable and I I don't believe I've ever
00:00:55Seen a ball game where there have been more people down on the ground
00:00:59We saw that
00:01:02Not a pretty sight just an awful sight before of two players from two different teams being wheeled off
00:01:09Simultaneously to two different runways
00:01:11I don't believe I've ever seen that before and this injury to Chris Lindstrom does not look good either
00:01:16You notice they're not rolling him over. They're leaving him live flat
00:01:19It could be an injury to the back or to the neck
00:01:22Hmm Lindstrom his brother Dave plays for Kansas City also a defensive end brother Eric is at Boston College and garen varis
00:01:30Gets up on the far side. He's bandaged all over his right arm
00:01:34This is this is a game where the highlight films don't go to the Hall of Fame. They go to the Red Cross
00:01:38And Lindstrom now hobbling off
00:01:46You know Lynn looking at the injury here Lindstrom backs up Ron Holmes the number one draft choice who is playing
00:01:52In place of the injured Leroy Salmon this buccaneer defense is not only decimated by physical injuries
00:01:59But they're haunted by the ghosts of the two tremendous players Leroy Salmon and Hugh Green who of course was traded to the
00:02:06Miami Dolphins a couple of years ago, so it's not only physical, but it's a haunting presence of the
00:02:12seasons past the Patriots start in the second half at the 13 trailing by a point
00:02:18break James straight ahead to the 22 or 23
00:02:21Good block by guy morris that time taking dave logan straight back
00:02:29Very important match up here you're going to see number 75 and white guy morris going one-on-one with big dave logan
00:02:35Winning the battle chalk that one up to guy morris ends up putting dave logan on his back
00:02:41That's how they draw it up with blocking like that the patriots are going to be tough to contain
00:02:46morris of course replacing the injured peep rock
00:02:49Arctoscopic knee surgery this week second and one logan got even stopped
00:02:53logan got even that time just as we talked about putting logan on his back
00:02:56He must have hurt us because that time he beat guy morris clean came off the block you're going to see
00:03:03The number 76 dave logan there watch him get rid of the center boom get out of here
00:03:07Where's the ball carrier right there not twice in a row morris you're not going to beat me it's pretty play so
00:03:13Patriots bring their short yardage
00:03:16Running back into the games you see dave logan
00:03:19Adorable and exciting and talented but not an overly large nose tackle for tampa bay
00:03:24Lynn as an offensive lineman you dream about putting your defensive opponent on his back
00:03:28But sometimes you don't want to do that because he'll come back a little harder at you next time
00:03:31motion third and one it is to tupu as usual and short yardage and he scrambles and fights
00:03:37And i believe he might have the first down
00:03:40David greenwood teaming with keith browner
00:03:43To stop the designated third down man mosey to tupu
00:03:47Lynn mosey to tupu is as good a specialist short yardage specialist as there is in the nfl
00:03:53He's very difficult to stop now this time there really was no hole for him
00:03:56You'll see him slither off this back of his own lineman slithering to the right there bleeding yard is just enough to get the first down
00:04:03He's very he's a very aware player
00:04:05He knows where the first down marker is and usually comes up just with just enough yardage to get it
00:04:10First down at the 24 for steve grogan and the patriots
00:04:14First pass of the second half he was under pressure. He was decked
00:04:17But tony collins makes the reception at the 44 another patriots first down
00:04:23What a play by steve grogan keith browner was all over and look rather on the left is the one who got up limping
00:04:31He put the hit on grogan and browners the one who walked away
00:04:34Worse for wear
00:04:35What do you suppose grogan bit him in the knee here you're going to see keith browner all over your quarterback
00:04:40How this ball number one gets thrown and secondly is completed is a miracle
00:04:46Grogan a very courageous quarterback knew that he was going to pay the price here
00:04:49But didn't let it bother him followed through and put the ball where he needed to put it browner stays in the game first down for new england
00:04:55They're 44
00:04:59James
00:05:00Across midfield james all the way down to the 40 the patriots are on the march
00:05:05Another new england first down cecil johnson finally stopped james
00:05:10This time you can see
00:05:11Keith browner not do so well had the big play on the quarterback last time this time tony collins number 33 gets a fine block on 57
00:05:19Keith browner here you see 33 throwing on him getting his man on the ground
00:05:23Enabling craig james to get big yardage one of the reasons you're not seeing tony collins carry the ball as much as he did two years ago
00:05:29Is because unfortunately for him he's a much better blocker than craig james is
00:05:33So they're not going to ask big games to block the tony collins as much as they're going to give the ball to craig james
00:05:38High formation patriots first down at the bucks 41
00:05:43Now james blocks for collins and collins picks up yardage before he's driven out by chris washington
00:05:50The patriots started this drive at their 13 and so far
00:05:54They have picked up four first downs as collins says sub for me
00:05:59Pretty impressive drive thus far by the patriots
00:06:03len and in two consecutive plays
00:06:05You've seen keith browner limping there on your screen
00:06:09He's been beaten to the outside one of the big important responsibilities of an outside linebacker is to keep the
00:06:15Ball care contained inside turning it back into his defensive help two times in a row now browner has been beaten to the outside
00:06:23Second and two at the 33 koopin has replaced browner a linebacker
00:06:27rogan throwing looking long
00:06:31Oh just past the outstretched arms of stanley morgan with john holt covering there's a flag though in the patriot backfield
00:06:38And it's against the patriots which will slow this drive down
00:06:51This is a costly penalty len on second down and two or three incompletes
00:06:5724 offense second down
00:07:01Robert weathers was blocking in the backfield and he was called for the hold now that changes the situation dramatically going from a
00:07:08Second and two you're going to see stanley morgan running a beautiful little post deep post pattern here
00:07:15There's robert weathers in the right hand side of your screen there all the way to the right that's what he's being whistled for brought his man down on a tackle
00:07:25This is a second and 12 for new england backed up to their 43
00:07:28Over the middle complete
00:07:34Derek ramsey who was the leading receiver last year with a team record 66 catches
00:07:39But thus far this year just 16 receptions for the big tight end from kentucky
00:07:45And it is short of a first down and this will be third and one or two
00:07:50Third and about a yard and a half len but credit derrick ramsey with getting three very important yards on his own there at the tail end of that pass play
00:08:03Big difference between third and one and a half or third and four
00:08:07That's david greenwood
00:08:09It's a champion in the united states football league
00:08:11Third and one is it to tupu on short yardage no it's tony collins
00:08:18And he is short and the patriots will have a decision to make on fourth and one
00:08:23Cannon and holmes combined will raymond burry go for it
00:08:27Or try to give tony franklin a chance on a long field goal try to take the lead what would you do
00:08:32I think i'd have to go for it here on if it's less than a yard and i think that it is
00:08:36What made the play it was fine defensive coverage there fine pursuit by the buccaneer they're going for the field goal
00:08:43tony franklin comes on
00:08:47If they had tried a field goal it would have been a 49 yard it's well they're trying one it's a 49 yard attempt let's see
00:08:55But the 32nd clock is already down to five and so tony eason wisely calls timeout
00:09:02A little disorganization on part of the patriots there len
00:09:06tony playing with that slight
00:09:09Separation of his left shoulder as the holder which is dangerous
00:09:12And the 32nd clock had wound down to three and that's why the patriots had to spend the time out and here's steve young interesting story
00:09:20Here of course the highly paid los angeles express quarterback comes over many thought that he would immediately walk in and play quarterback
00:09:26But lehman bennett says no he may play late in the season but not yet and not soon
00:09:32Well there's no way that a quarterback any quarterback young or old can come in miss the entire training camp
00:09:38And expect to be effective he hasn't played with the ball club before he knows nothing about the
00:09:43System and then to make matters worse he missed the fundamental period the very critical fundamental period of training camp
00:09:50During the season when you're getting preparing for each opponent getting ready for a new opponent each week
00:09:55You're really not working on basics. It's not time to teach or learn
00:09:59So steve young's learning process is really kind of on hold until next training camp
00:10:06In fact on one play when
00:10:08The bird came out people thought young would go in and no it was alan risher, but there's
00:10:13tony eason
00:10:15Bandaged up he will hold for what will be a 49 and a half yard attempt now already
00:10:23tony franklin has hit from 35 yards as well as 50 yards
00:10:27His patriots best his nfl best as we noted earlier 59 yards
00:10:33So we have played not yet five minutes of the third quarter
00:10:36Patriots took the kickoff and marched until they were slowed by a robert weathers holding call
00:10:42And georgiano obviously will not return in the second half nice shorts though
00:10:48That loss could hurt the buccaneers is as we said earlier playing better football than any other healthy offensive lineman right now
00:10:54They cannot afford to lose georgiano
00:10:55georgiano
00:10:56Franklin trying to give the patriots their first lead of the afternoon
00:11:0049 yards away does it get inside the crossbar it does the tony franklin runs off the field with his arms wave tied
00:11:08the kick started right
00:11:10Came in
00:11:12Got inside the crossbar tony franklin's reaction for the first time this afternoon the patriots have taken the lead 16 14
00:11:20Patriots lead at 16 14 10 minutes remaining third quarter phil freeman
00:11:28It's a lot of movement but a lot of it side to side not as much forward as ed reynolds and
00:11:34Looks like greg hawthorne playing johnny on the pony as well
00:11:37So the tampa bay buccaneer offense their offensive coordinator is on crutches jimmy ray and how fitting that is
00:11:47With what has happened to the tampa bay buccaneers it was a jogging accident jimmy was hit by a car
00:11:52And you played against him in college didn't you bob i sure did jimmy ray is a fine offensive coordinator
00:11:56Was the quarterback in michigan state's great 1966 spartan team
00:12:01Of course with the fighting Irish of notre dame i played for against jimmy and that 10 to 10 tie right jimmy's lucky to be alive
00:12:07He was hit by a car traveling at about 40 miles an hour
00:12:10The buccaneers first down at their 24 the bird throwing remember it was right in his face and he completed it to kevin house on the far side
00:12:19ronnie lippert covering you know
00:12:23Kevin house
00:12:24Was drafted to play baseball
00:12:26By the st louis cardinals so if you didn't see him this afternoon you might have seen him tonight
00:12:31Perhaps if he were playing for the st louis cardinals the series would already be over
00:12:35bird taking a shot there
00:12:39Kevin house though is a very underrated receiver in this league he's got all the moves and the speed and uh a very intelligent receiver
00:12:46problem with tampa bay they're very honest in their press release press releases are normally very upbeat
00:12:51They say they can play good offense they can play good defense
00:12:53The problem is they've never done it for the same game on the same day first down at the 40
00:12:59James wilder gets perhaps two julie adams came over the top dennis owens was down below as well as johnny rembert and andre tippett so they were all in there
00:13:10Len it's almost as if the the strength the very strength or
00:13:14Blood is sapping away from the buccaneers here the the injuries are beginning to take their toll
00:13:18You look on that and look who's coming off james wilder who missed the series in the first half comes off again
00:13:24And ron springs replaces him you would think it would go the other way the heat of tampa would work against new england
00:13:30The fact the patriots have historically done very poorly on grass but so far
00:13:35The advantages are going towards new england second and nine gerald carter
00:13:39Near midfield close to a first down before he's run out by raymond claiborne
00:13:44I believe he has the first down len
00:13:48Good play here the patriots had a little blitz on and I think that the buccaneers are going to have to open it up
00:13:53Just a little bit more and you might see them going to
00:13:56Kevin house as we talked about at the top of the game
00:13:59James wilder just is not getting it done right now
00:14:02I don't know that he's injured so much as they're just trying to give him a little bit of rest
00:14:06They know they have a capable replacement in ron springs and even the greatest players such as james wilder need to rest occasionally
00:14:15So it's first down for steve the berg at midfield
00:14:19Two interceptions in the first half one cost him three points the other did not
00:14:23Play action fake plenty of time throwing deep for kevin house and overthrowing as he had a step on roland james
00:14:33That's one of the things that the buccaneer coaches told us earlier this week land that
00:14:37The buccaneers would like to employ some play action passing play action
00:14:41Of course meaning that you you first fake the run and then throw the pass
00:14:46And it's intended to to draw the secondary primarily the linebackers of the patriot defense up to stop the run
00:14:52And in fact open up the pass lanes
00:14:54The tampa has of course james wilder and he's a great rusher and most teams try to stop him on the run
00:15:01So when you fake the run to wilder and throw the ball instead there should be some vulnerability there
00:15:05He obviously has an injury somewhere or else he would be in the lineup for sure second down and ten at midfield for tampa bay
00:15:11quarter in motion
00:15:15Ron spring
00:15:16The replacement for wilder gets maybe three steve nelson and johnny remberton on the tackle and steve nelson of course the patriots leading tackler
00:15:25But we really haven't mentioned his name too much this afternoon
00:15:27Now he hasn't gotten many calls, but you can't forget nelly even
00:15:31He's slow getting up here now. I'm finding this hard to believe steve nelson over the years one of the
00:15:36Underrated linebackers. He has been to the pro bowl a couple of times
00:15:39But i've played against him for the better part of a decade and I can tell you personally
00:15:44There is no smarter tougher grittier inside linebacker in the game
00:15:49The randy gratishars and the jack lamberts have gotten all the accolades over the year
00:15:54Because and lambert primarily I think because it was a four three linebacker
00:15:58But steve nelson as fine as inside linebacker
00:16:01I believe as there has been in the game over the last half a dozen years or so then and a classy guy
00:16:06His charity working in the new england area as well so for tampa bay
00:16:10This will be third and seven at the patriot 47
00:16:15Very important play here len the bucks have looked the momentum at the header in the game get away from now
00:16:20They've got a nice little drive going if they can sustain it they'll be in good shape three wide receivers
00:16:24Wilder is back at running back
00:16:29And he drew the patriots offside three down but he goes down
00:16:34Darren varis may be the man who jumped
00:16:37So if it is against the patriots this will set up a third and two
00:16:43Critical penalty len
00:16:45And you know yet another substitution at line bob for tampa bay joe sheeran's in a center for randy grimes they have
00:16:57Just steve coarsen
00:16:59Outside 56 defense third down this against tippet
00:17:06All right now you're looking at a third and two that's a little more likable from an offensive standpoint third and two you have a lot of options
00:17:12You can run the ball because it is short yardage. It's less than three downs
00:17:15You can also throw the ball third and two with the 42
00:17:19The lone back is james wilder
00:17:31Jimmy giles got to the outside of tippet, but the bird couldn't hit him
00:17:35And the crowd doesn't like that is the patriots stop the buccaneers and frank garcia comes on
00:17:44We pause briefly for station identification. This is the nbc television network
00:17:49wwlp springfield
00:17:51The fans didn't like that call and the throw len but really that would have taken a perfect throw because andre tippet had taken away the angle
00:18:03he had a jimmy giles covered perfectly and only if
00:18:07If the quarterback had the burghead had lost the ball it could have been completed but short of that that
00:18:12Jimmy jimmy giles was totally covered
00:18:15garcia gets it away gets it deep
00:18:19Does not get the corner it's a touchback and the patriots will start at the 20. So garcia does not get it out of bounds
00:18:25It goes as a 42 yard punt but the patriots will start out with a touchback. They lead tampa bay 16 14
00:18:33A slight rainbow over tampa stadium. What's at the end of it a first place tie for the patriots or the first win of the year for tampa bay
00:18:41first down and 10 for new england at the 20
00:18:43The pitch back
00:18:46Tony collins on the move first down
00:18:49Ivory sully finally caught up with him
00:18:52All right, let's check out all the scores now
00:18:55See how the patriots competition is doing first of all the jets are losing in the third quarter. That's good news for the patriots
00:19:00It's
00:19:02Denver continues to lead kansas city
00:19:04It's now 27 10 in the third miami continues to trail we're staring at a first place
00:19:09Three-way tie if these scores hold up chicago over minnesota
00:19:14Cleveland's come back with a touchdown against washington
00:19:18First down for the patriots now at their 35
00:19:21James
00:19:27Three or four yards up to the 39 before keith browner could tackle him with help from cecil johnson
00:19:34So the patriots content to work on the clock 650 remaining third quarter new england leads it 16 14 other scores
00:19:42st louis leads houston 10-6
00:19:44Virginia that game in the third quarter
00:19:49Dallas has now taken the lead over atlanta 17 10 third quarter and buffalo 17 nothing over philadelphia
00:19:56How about the bills in indianapolis doing it to green bay?
00:19:59second and 7 38 a flag is down the completions made on the far side to collins
00:20:05But we'll check out what the penalty is then i believe the penalty is going to be a holding call on the substitute right guard number 66 paul fairchild
00:20:14Well hold up your head tom dooley and make a call
00:20:24Miami's come back now trail by three holding 75 second down
00:20:32Holding on the center guy morris
00:20:34i was watching the right guard paul fairchild who the play before had gotten a fine block on the run looking at number 66 on your screen here
00:20:42oh
00:20:44You're right absolutely it was a center guy morris holding here and uh was getting beat to his right and uh
00:20:52bulldog
00:20:53Dave logan down sometimes that's the only way you can stop a man like logan second and 17 at the 28
00:20:59rogan looking for morgan who could not hold on near near midfield with ivory sully behind him
00:21:09six minutes remaining third quarter now and it will be third and long for new england
00:21:13third and 17.
00:21:17some third period scores
00:21:20lynn this is a very important series for the buccaneers here now they didn't score
00:21:24offensively last time but they did put together three or four first downs
00:21:28and for the first time in a long time today they have decent field position now on the heels of that
00:21:33they've had a a pretty good defensive stand here unless the patriots come up with a a very big 16 yards or so
00:21:40on this play that's stanley morgan he also has cedric jones and stephan starring three wide receivers third
00:21:45and 17 from the 28 cedric jones well short of a first down at the 35 craig curry out of texas covers him
00:21:56all right lynn i begin to sense a little bit of turn and a tie there a little bit of the momentum
00:22:00shading back to the buccaneer side now they started out house of fire jumping up 14 and nothing then
00:22:06the patriots slowly took over the entire ball game and a dead calm engulfed this stadium now
00:22:11they haven't scored the buccaneers haven't scored yet and they're they're trailing in the ball game
00:22:15but they've had a nice offensive series and now they've defensively shut out the patriots are going
00:22:19to get the ball back here with pretty good field position mike prior awaits rich camarillo's punt
00:22:26prior will have a return at the 24. not much of one driven back at the 28. rod mcswain and ed reynolds
00:22:44among others so the buccaneers will get it back trailing by two five minutes left third quarter
00:22:50the third quarter has not been kind to the buccaneers this season as well you can imagine
00:22:57after all they have now led four times at halftime this year without a win after four quarters
00:23:06james wilder and wilder busts across the 35 close to the 39 nearly a 10-yard pickup for james wilder
00:23:15but now for an update let's go to nfl 85 where mad rashad is standing by
00:23:20ahmad one of your former killer b teammates bob kuchenberg doing it at the silver dome first down
00:23:25at the 39 here's wilder wilder gets running room to the 44 perhaps a pickup of five where he's greeted
00:23:32by don blackman so they're going to their bread and butter man james wilder
00:23:37we're closing in on four minutes remaining of the third quarter the only scoring we have had a 49
00:23:47yard field goal here in the third by tony franklin that gave the patriots their first lead of the
00:23:51afternoon the buccaneers led 14 nothing but now 16 unanswered points by new england second and five
00:23:58for steve de berg and the buccaneers they're 44. look how deep james wilder starts in his backfield takes
00:24:04the pitch back greeted by blackman blackman gets help from nelson and rembert steve nelson getting
00:24:14in on the tackle late here len uh you know your hat hat goes off to a guy like steve nelson over
00:24:19the years just playing with injury and pain you're going to see him scraping beating the block by the
00:24:24guard here coming underneath and taking away the cutback possibility of james wilder and actually
00:24:29getting in on the play late extra effort by steve nelson and over the years steve nelly has been
00:24:35the heart and soul and most importantly the brain of that patriot defense now he's out on the third and
00:24:42five situation as the patriots go with five defensive backs third and five at the 44. the bird for carter
00:24:52tipped away by ronnie lippet they are trying to work the third year player from miami but so far
00:24:59lippet has been up to the task excellent coverage by ronnie lippet there he knew exactly where he had to
00:25:05be in position and the ball could not have been complete because he was on the inside and uh wonderful
00:25:11coverage by ronnie lippet
00:25:12so now frank garcia will punt once again
00:25:19here's frank longest of the year has been a 61-yard boot
00:25:26that's what he's done today irving fryer standing at his 10 for new england
00:25:30patriots will get the ball back with less than three minutes remaining in the third quarter frank
00:25:34needs to make up for that 24 yard at the tail end of the first half that's the critical play that set up
00:25:40the patriots touchdown a good punt by garcia drier lets it sail into the end zone so the net will be
00:25:4820 yards less but the gross will be a good one a 56-yard punt but of course on the gross it comes
00:25:54back to 36. when we come back patriots ball they lead it by two in the meadowlands the jets are close
00:26:01to within seven now of seattle late third quarter ken o'brien a 16-yard pass to freeman mcneil
00:26:06the dolphins within three of detroit as amad rashad told us first down at the 20 for new england
00:26:13completes it to tony collins collins trying to break three collins across the 30 the 40 collins across
00:26:20midfield tony collins all the way down to the 30 a 60-yard pickup
00:26:37talk about changing field position losing all your field position you're going to notice irving fryer
00:26:42number 80 getting a block here on the left hand side of your screen we may have already here it is
00:26:46coming up right here boom now this block enables uh tony collins to turn a 15-yard play into a 50-yard
00:26:53play one of the things one of the great qualities about these patriot receivers both irving fryer and
00:26:58stanley morgan even though they're very talented receivers they're also willing blockers
00:27:05big gainer by collins from the 31 craig james lost it
00:27:14patriots have already lost two fumbles they lead the league in that category and james
00:27:19you could see a sigh of relief he fell on it himself let's take a look at why this ball came out len
00:27:30good pitch he's got possession of it here just turning up ross browner strips him ross's brother
00:27:36keith i'm sorry ross browner you know i've got notre dame in mind keith is from usc and i try to
00:27:40phase that out there are five browners joeys in minnesota ross in cincinnati second and ten for 31.
00:27:52and grogan is sacked by urban randall at the 45. you see big john hannah standing there disgustedly
00:27:58with his hands on his hips that's because john hannah's man got that set the linebacker came in
00:28:05john hannah saw him coming in i'll tell you what i i'm not sure that john hannah is over his calf
00:28:10injury here you see him he's got the block but he doesn't sustain it urban randall the rookie rookie
00:28:16linebacker going through the all-pro john hannah almost like he wasn't even there getting a sack
00:28:22that hurts now you got third and 21 john hannah's got to be very upset with himself for that play
00:28:27backed up to the 44 officially the third sack of grogan this afternoon he will operate from the
00:28:35shotgun a third and 23. you're wondering which highlight you will definitely see on the late
00:28:41news tonight this is it the play of the game then you don't like to to use the word great it's overused
00:28:48in our industry but this truly is a great catch outstretched fingertips first and goal at the eight
00:28:58craig james who has thrown for one runs for one you see him being embraced there by his running mate
00:29:06tony collins collins through a fine block for his buddy craig james and a little despair there by
00:29:12keith browner the buccaneers are getting worn down len
00:29:18browner gets up slowly after watching craig james scamper eight yards there's browner in a grasp and
00:29:26james gets across the goal line break james throwing for a touchdown running for a touchdown
00:29:34and now tony franklin who has not missed an extra point in his two-year patriots career
00:29:39can give new england a nine-point advantage
00:29:45so a drive which featured a 49-yard catch and run by tony collins a 36-yard catch by morgan
00:29:52james takes it in they've tried but they just don't have much left we will see what is left
00:30:00as we'll have a second kick franklin kicks it out of bounds and incurs a five-yard penalty
00:30:06so he will try again this time backed up to his 30.
00:30:13the patriots historically have not done well on natural grass of course all their home games
00:30:18are on artificial turf and so a combination of road games and grass has given them just
00:30:24a 326 percentage over 10 years that compared to a winning percentage of 63 percent i believe on
00:30:32artificial turf but that can be a misleading figure one of the reasons they're only 326
00:30:37on artificial turf is they've played a lot of those games in the miami orange bowl and that's not an
00:30:41easy place for a visiting team to win you see the bucks kept the patriots scoreless the first the
00:30:49patriots have kept the buccaneers scoreless since we are opening minute of the fourth quarter 23 14
00:30:58new england over tampa bay he missed the ball
00:31:01his shoe is missing i think his shoe must have got stuck in the mud and caused him to miss the ball
00:31:12bucks are claiming he hit the ball that's why it went off the tee and it should be a recovery
00:31:20they're going to let him kick it again that's what you call a whiff and i wonder what larry
00:31:26cuban was saying to tony franklin there
00:31:36you imagine if he had nudged the ball and the buccaneer picked it up and ran for a touchdown
00:31:40that's right that reminds me of my golf game hopefully that would occur on the first hole
00:31:46well two strikes they ruled no kick no touch so franklin will try once again
00:31:53it's one of the funnier highlights of the day we couldn't see it from this angle then but perhaps
00:32:00the wind blew the ball off the tee just before he uh before the impact occurred you can hurt yourself
00:32:05doing that sure can he kicked it in bounds he hit it yes and into the end zone and out franklin normally
00:32:14does not kick it into the end zone when going from the 35 here he does it from the 30.
00:32:19today's game is brought to you by 14 42 remaining in the fourth quarter sun is peekabooing in and out
00:32:30of the clouds the patriots lead the buccaneers 23 to 14.
00:32:37steve steve de berg a fine first quarter he's struggled since with the offense
00:32:42that one's ruled no good for kevin house everything is going against
00:32:52tampa bay and you may have noticed steve nelson get a hand on the berg as he went flying by
00:32:56there's a little tackle play big lester williams coming in getting a quarterback after he threw the ball
00:33:14second and 10 at the 20.
00:33:15then if the bucks are going to get back in this ball game i'm afraid it's going to be with kevin house
00:33:23james wilder the call julie adams drags him down for a loss in the backfield
00:33:30and the patriot defense is swarming led by the old guy the oldest defensive lineman in football 37 year
00:33:37old julie adams then i played against julie the jewel many times over his career and my career and
00:33:43i'll tell you what early in his career he was a very underrated ball player and also a fine gentleman
00:33:48this is his last year of his career and and the jewel uh number 85 will retire in 85 and he'd like
00:33:54to go out with a playoff uh campaign a two-yard loss for wilder third and 12 at the 18 as the
00:34:01buccaneers come with three wide receivers motion left side that's your buddy from massachusetts
00:34:10isn't it i believe it's on ken kaplan start 79 offense third down
00:34:20that's ken kaplan incurring the penalty watching the left side of your screen number 79 and orange
00:34:25here moving just a little bit early again because of an injury to george yarno it's a makeshift
00:34:30offensive line for the buccaneers third and 17 from the 13. they need the patriots 30 and a half for a
00:34:38first down this is dangerous territory remember the super bowl on this field theisman throwing
00:34:44down at the sand and jack squiret the linebacker took it in for a touchdown super bowl 18.
00:34:52the bird throwing from near his end zone mcswain tipped it away as it was intended for theo bell
00:35:00rod mcswain the second year man from clemson gets a pat on the helmet from raymond claiborne
00:35:05brokken up on the line mcswain who was that
00:35:11the brand might see it
00:35:12it's been the time for 10 for many
00:35:16fine play by mcswain len uh the momentum is just stacking up here against the bucks now and
00:35:22they're punting from their own 13 yard line they're putting into a win the patriots should get the ball
00:35:27back perhaps even in tampa bay territory patriots defense has allowed one long drive early in the game
00:35:34and that's it the second touchdown was the result of a turnover the patriots defense has come to the
00:35:39floor this afternoon short kick patriots in great shape as it bounces near the 40.
00:35:47and the patriots will get first down at the buccaneer 40 after just a 27-yard punt by frank garcia
00:35:56the crowd unhappy once again as well they might be the patriots with a nine-point lead will be in
00:36:02business once again thanks to this short punt from frank garcia we'll be back to tampa in just a minute
00:36:10the jets 14 7 in the fourth and detroit now leads miami by 10 in the fourth quarter
00:36:16things are looking good for the patriots first down at the tampa bay 40 the pitch back to tony collins
00:36:21james in front collins hurdles and out of bounds on the far side short of a first down
00:36:28lynn you can you can bet your boots that the patriots are well aware that the jets and the
00:36:33dolphins are both losing it's a very enjoyable time right on the sideline now on the patriot bench
00:36:39they started out in the hole they're coming down they know they haven't played well on the road they
00:36:42haven't played well in grass they've had an inconsistent first half of the season they've come back they fought
00:36:50their way out of the hole they've now got control this ball game and as a boost you've got both of
00:36:54your competitors losing very exciting time for the patriots right now second at inches will they go for
00:37:00all of it or just a part of it they keep it simple but james turns it into a good gainer inside the 20
00:37:07ivory sully on the tackle
00:37:14with five minutes and 50 seconds left in the first quarter
00:37:17tampa bay led 14 nothing their first 14 nothing lead of the year at halftime for the fourth game
00:37:23and eight they let again 14 13 but it is all patriots it's 23 14 new england and they want more first
00:37:31down at the tampa bay 18.
00:37:39collins
00:37:40and still gets a yard out of it david logan quiet second half for logan in on the stop along with
00:37:49irvin randall all right even though the odds are stacking up against the bucks the great players
00:37:53really never quit they never give up dave logan is a great player here you see him beating the center
00:37:58one-on-one now the blocking back craig james comes back to try to stop him he keeps on going beats two
00:38:04tacklers and makes the play that's why dave logan many people call dave logan the best nose tackle in the
00:38:08game today he took on three patriots and one play there's tony collins through 55 yards again no patriot
00:38:15this year has rushed for 100 yards in a game brigg james had 94 last week second and nine at the 17.
00:38:25finds lynn dawson short of a first down finally wrestled down by larry cuban
00:38:31now you think the life of a nose tackle is fun lynn here you got watch randy logan
00:38:37dave logan here trying to beat the center he did it now there's john hannah waiting for him
00:38:42now he's bouncing him back back to morris boom boom boom you know it's it's discouraging because
00:38:47you're double teamed and sometimes triple teamed even if you are good enough and fortunate enough
00:38:51to beat your center you're only going to be running into more trouble when those guards are
00:38:54standing around waiting for you to to come through the center third and three for new england at the
00:38:59tampa bay 11. that's what the linebackers look at
00:39:08brogan throwing in the end zone derrick ramsey could not hold on the defensive play by david greenwood
00:39:15who's down on both knees there's david
00:39:20so tony franklin will come on for new england
00:39:23to try to increase the patriots lead to 12 points
00:39:28lynn i think that ball could have been caught it would have been a difficult catch it was thrown
00:39:31over his shoulder a little bit but i i thought that he might catch a ball taking a look at this
00:39:35pass here you'll see john hannah there was safety blitz 44 ivory sully blitz there but john hannah picked
00:39:41him up here's the catch that ball should have been caught i think it bounced off his left ear pad
00:39:4628-yard field goal attempt tony franklin and he missed it franklin had made them from 35 49 and 50
00:39:59but he shanks a 28-yard attempt and the buccaneers continue to trail up by nine so we'll be back 11
00:40:06minutes remaining the patriots on top 11 minutes remain the patriots lead tampa bay 23-14 the buccaneers
00:40:13trying to put something together first down at their 20. bell in motion
00:40:22berg fires and completes a tough pass to giles short of a first down with nelson covering
00:40:29tippet has a few words giles thought thought andre tippet was hitting him a little bit unnecessary
00:40:33steve nelson here the linebacker we've talked quite a lot about today on pass coverage his
00:40:38responsibility is jimmy giles there you're going to see him covering giles he does a good job of
00:40:42holding him up right here berg de berg has to hesitate a little grab a little jersey there
00:40:46that's not quite legal nelson almost breaks up the play but a fine catch and i think that was
00:40:50unnecessary i think giles had a right to be upset with andre tippet on that play that was an eight
00:40:55yard gain very tough for linebacker when you see a tight end at 240 yards flying out at you this is
00:41:03second and eight at the 28th for tampa bay wilder flag down first down if the flag is against new england
00:41:14might have been jimmy giles on motion
00:41:19roland james and ronnie lippet defensive backs for the patriots
00:41:24and this play is coming back
00:41:32the jets have closed to within four on a pat lahey 41-yard field goal
00:41:36offense second down so instead of second and two and instead of a first down
00:41:43it'll be second and seven denver still continues to lead kansas city rather handily
00:41:47detroit with that 10-point lead over miami patriots host miami next week chicago continues to lead
00:41:53minnesota no scores yet for the refrigerator washington 14-7 over cleveland
00:41:58st louis over houston dallas leading nilana 17-10 and buffalo trying to hold off philadelphia second and
00:42:08seven at the 22
00:42:09the bird a hit by rembert after the completion to jerry bell so tight defense they picked up a few yards
00:42:19nonetheless
00:42:22good solid tackle that time len by johnny rembert he's playing for the injured larry mcgrew and there
00:42:27really is not much of a drop-off as we said earlier rembers played a lot of football over the years for
00:42:31these patriots and uh they have the coaches have no problem with johnny rembert playing another florida
00:42:36youngster grew up in arcadia florida indianapolis doing it to green bay in the interconference
00:42:42game afc teams are leading the nfc teams today dallas now is added another touchdown all right
00:42:47an important play here our score is 23 14 this is third and one at the 29 tampa bay desperately needs
00:42:54a first down and wilder does not give it to him blackman the first hit roland james the second one an
00:43:01important defensive surge by the patriots on third and one
00:43:07fine play by the outside linebacker don blackman you're going to notice don blackman on the left
00:43:12hand side of your screen getting penetration beating the block of the tight end jerry bell
00:43:16making the play denying james wilder the necessary yardage and i'll tell you lynn
00:43:22when don blackman is healthy along with andre tippett that's as fine a pair of outside linebackers as
00:43:27there is in the game today that's high praise garcia will punt once again this time he is not
00:43:32in his end zone but irving fryer again at his 30 will have some running room for new england
00:43:38they have time the 32nd clock is still only at 10.
00:43:41a bad snap hit the ground short kick fryer elects to watch it as it rolls dead at the patriots 36.
00:43:56so with eight minutes and 19 seconds remaining and with a few more boos coming out from the crowd
00:44:01after a 35-yard punt from a struggling frank garcia today and look at the snap here yeah the punter
00:44:07fields it on the second hop there it's what you call a warm burner and he knows he's got to get
00:44:11rid of the ball a little quicker here now and does not meet the ball nicely at all and garcia is having
00:44:16a rough day lynn next week many of you will see the sold out game in foxborough miami new england also
00:44:23cleveland pittsburgh cincinnati buffalo kansas city houston those are our early games next week
00:44:30first down for new england they're 36
00:44:32straight ahead craig james flag down cecil johnson on the tackle
00:44:47holding against new england and late games next week on nfl 85 raider seattle looks like a good
00:44:55one denver san diego jets and indianapolis the colts look good today well full slate of games holding
00:45:0175 offense first down guy morris again the substitute center for pete rock so this sets
00:45:09up a first and 24 new england back at their 26 and as we noted earlier morris did get several starts
00:45:15last year for brock brock undergoing the arthroscopic knee surgery this week on two knees the first report
00:45:20said he'd only be out two or three weeks and then raymond burry came back and said that that's slightly
00:45:24optimistic inside of eight minutes remaining now patriots lead tampa bay
00:45:3023 to 14
00:45:39short pass to collins has blockers in front of him collins who did one for 50 earlier on a similar
00:45:44play this one picks up about 14 yards out to the 40 well short of a first down ivory sully david
00:45:51greenwood collapsing on collins i like the call it's first down and a lot of yards to go the screen
00:45:59pass in this instance is a good a good call watching john hannah here the left guard faking the pass
00:46:04protection delaying 1000 2000 3000 go and now a lot of times even though he doesn't get his block here
00:46:10you'll see him miss the block he still is such an imposing hulk out there that the poor little
00:46:15skinny defensive backs kind of shutter and uh are unable to make the play so big yards in spite of
00:46:20the fact that john didn't get his block there second and six at the 41. collins scrambles forward
00:46:27after stop still short of a first down he is logged 108 yards receiving today tony collins six receptions
00:46:38big one that 50 yarder
00:46:42that was a very important play land that got the patriots out of a deep hole and uh
00:46:46gave them good field position which they've maintained throughout the remainder of the second half
00:46:51so now third and five an obvious throwing down so the tampa bay defense counters with five defensive
00:46:59backs and grogan in turn counters with a shotgun offense
00:47:08here they come curry nails grogan the pass is complete anyway all the way down to the 20 to fryer
00:47:14and there's no way grogan saw was complete he was clotheslined by craig curry still got it out to fryer
00:47:22for a 39 yard game that's exciting len you hit it on the head he did not have any idea this pass was
00:47:27completed it took a lot of courage but that's his middle name he knows he's going to pay the price
00:47:31you get the safety blitz with ivory solely number 44 coming in there boom that has to hurt he's going
00:47:37to feel that one tomorrow but in the meantime he'll get a little bit of a savor out of this fine throw and
00:47:42catch irving fryer with outstanding speed just running down the field running what grogan did so
00:47:47well there was loft the ball which enabled the man with tremendous speed irving fryer to run under the
00:47:52ball first and 10 at the 23. craig james across the 20 15 craig james touchdown his third of the day second rushing
00:48:07icing on the cake when the patriots are gathering strength as they have
00:48:17tony collins either said good job good job or you should have let me do it one or the other
00:48:23i think he may have been saying did you see the block that i threw for you there man don't forget
00:48:26that now tell the coach about that let's see if tony collins gets a block for his running mate there
00:48:30oh he didn't have to he just watched it maybe the the books thought that james is going to lateral to
00:48:36collins so they were guarding collins anyway fine cut back by craig james good line blocking that time
00:48:41by that time by hannah and holloway and uh as i started to say the buccaneers are gathering strength
00:48:47just as they have for the last two weeks going into three
00:48:52tony franklin makes it an even 30. so now 30 unanswered points two touchdowns rushing one
00:48:59throwing for craig james they are starting to leave as oh and eight is a distinct reality
00:49:06with 521 remaining in this one for craig james so far 96 yards rushing he bids to become the first
00:49:13patriot this year to rush for 100. he may make it len i think i know what tony collins was telling
00:49:17craig james there shaking his head craig probably said to tony oh great block tony thanks a lot i needed
00:49:23it and tony was probably saying are you kidding i didn't have to block anybody i didn't touch anybody
00:49:27and nobody stopped you the play i will remember from this game is the shot that grogan took before
00:49:31the touchdown still completed 39 yards to fryer lehman bennett alone with his thoughts
00:49:39but earlier this week after the naked bootleg raymond burry described grogan in the same breath
00:49:43with names like johnny oldenitis and names like bobby lane for guts and character and leadership
00:49:49and taking the lick he took a few moments ago and still completing the pass you can see why burry
00:49:55spoke in such glowing terms of his veteran quarterback and he does take a lick here he
00:49:59knows it boom right there he knows he's going to get hit he follows through with the ball and that's
00:50:03what makes the play not only does that put points on the board len but what that does come tuesday
00:50:08morning when they review the films his teammates will give him a lot of credit for for that play they
00:50:13know that he knew that he was going to take the punishment but there's a lot of camaraderie there and
00:50:17admiration phil freeman had the right idea the first time he should have kept his knee down
00:50:22cedric jones covers
00:50:30when it rains it pours lynn
00:50:34and now the buccaneers backed way back inside their five looked awfully good for the buccaneers in
00:50:41the first quarter when they opened up that 14 nothing lead but since offensively defensively special
00:50:47teams it's been all new england and the crowd boos a bit as steve the bird does come on to quarterback
00:50:53for the final five minutes and ten seconds you know then talking about the courage that grogan
00:50:58exhibited today and particularly in that past knowing he's going to get punished that inspires
00:51:02his teammates as i said in the film session come tuesday morning they're all going to take their hats
00:51:06off to grogan he's been their leader over the years they know his courage and his experience is
00:51:11going to help them in their drive for the playoffs and steve young will have to wait another week to
00:51:15quarterback
00:51:18ron springs the handoff in place of wilder and you have to wonder the patriots are optimistically
00:51:23thinking that tony eason might be ready within a week or so when he is ready there's no way you
00:51:28can take out a steve grogan although burry says he'll make the decision when the time comes well i think
00:51:32that's what a diplomatic head coach would would say that he'll make the decision when the time comes
00:51:37in my opinion you're looking at the starting quarterback of the patriots for the next two
00:51:41games barring injuries inside of five minutes now as we show you a few more scores look houston's
00:51:47taking the lead over st louis it's a big afc day against the nfc here and in st louis the green bay
00:51:53indianapolis game as well the bird for giles broken up by marion and he's turned in a sparkling game
00:52:01marion helped out by roland james
00:52:09he sure has len fred marion's played a fine ball game today a couple of key deflections and one big
00:52:15interception that saved the touchdown and turned the ball over and uh perhaps fred marion's excited
00:52:19about playing in his the state that he played his collegiate ball
00:52:22so this will be a third and call it seven from the five-yard line for tampa bay with four and a
00:52:31half minutes remaining in the superb patriots victory which would be their third straight win
00:52:3730 to 14 new england
00:52:43and they'll have a flag and while they sort out the flag i'd like to remind you that next saturday
00:52:48it's the season premiere of the pba fall tour i'll start 68 up goes against rick mallory if you like
00:52:57bowling the fall tour coming to nbc sports the kodak invitational it follows the breeders cup 4 30
00:53:04eastern time after the 10 million dollar breeders cup and after next saturday there'll be five more
00:53:10weeks of the fall tour all at two o'clock eastern time so if you like bowling nbc's your spot this november
00:53:1839 so now it is third and nine for what has been a hapless tampa bay team since early in the first
00:53:26quarter
00:53:34the bird sacked two points don blackman his second safety of the year and now it's 32 unanswered points
00:53:48well phil len if you're if you're a patriot fan you're very happy to see this man back taking a
00:53:55look at it from the end zone you're going to see number 55 come in from the left hand side of your
00:53:59screen beating his blocker taking his blocker right with him ken kaplan right with him into the
00:54:03quarterback and as i said if you're a patriot fan you're mighty happy to see big don blackman back
00:54:10playing healthy he was not expected to start today he missed two weeks steve young still has his helmet
00:54:16off and now a free kick will emanate from the tampa bay 20 and the patriots can choose to just try to
00:54:24roll it up if they want it's now 32 to 14 new england you know as soon as the patriots had that crucial
00:54:32victory against the jets last sunday the patriots and their coaches started talking immediately let's
00:54:37not get overconfident it's an important game with tampa bay it's a game we've lost over the years
00:54:41we usually beat the teams we're supposed to lose to and vice versa and uh hasn't worked out it's it's
00:54:47worked all new england this afternoon 32 14. that's right len the patriot coaches told us early on they've
00:54:54gone out of their way this week to keep the patriots from being overconfident because they're playing
00:54:58against the winless team and the patriots of course have done an excellent job of playing good consistent
00:55:04football today
00:55:10birving fryer deep garcia will punt it away 424 remaining in the fourth quarter
00:55:21and what else is new
00:55:23it is not a happy day for frank garcia some of his teammates try to give him a pat anyway do you
00:55:38suppose len that he was rushed in that kick
00:55:40hit a free kick no rushers and he kicked it away from his 20. well it went out of bounds and he got a
00:55:51break he'll have to kick it again he sure did maybe that was part of his strategy if he kicks it out of
00:55:57bounds a second time the patriots have the option of taking it where it went out of bounds yeah maybe
00:56:02garcia did it on purpose i think he did out of bounds so this will back him up five
00:56:15he's got to back up yeah back it up to the 15.
00:56:20the jets have just taken the lead on seattle ken o'brien 15 yards to wesley walker with five minutes
00:56:26remaining in the fourth quarter so the patriots will not have a share of first place
00:56:33that's a better kick he's gonna have plenty of room to return it though fryer flag down fryer to the 48
00:56:42we should get a hold here against new england or an illegal hands hold or a clip or an illegal
00:56:48legal block from behind maybe garen varis let's see clock is stopped with four minutes and six
00:56:57seconds to go it is 32 14 new england
00:57:05offsides kicking team delayed number 65 a delay on the fair catch running with the ball
00:57:13on receiving team we have a replay oh this is a punting clinic from garcia garcia says i want no
00:57:22part of this another replay they can't get started if they want to a delayed fair did he start to
00:57:27signal fair catch and then run with it or you know what that's a new one on me i really don't know what
00:57:32the penalty was it was a delay and i really don't know how this is bordering on embarrassing for mr garcia
00:57:40on the other hand they are getting plenty of kick coverage drilling here i don't think they want to
00:57:50practice
00:57:54fryer apparently gave the fair catch signal and then ran with it which is a penalty fryer gives no signal
00:58:02and runs with it at the 35. on the third try he gets it back to where he got it the second time and
00:58:09any flags i don't see any flags and hopefully that play will stand frank garcia is going to ice down
00:58:17his knee i think and i see no injuries
00:58:19so now with 356 remaining in the fourth quarter
00:58:29patriots about to go to a five and three record with their third consecutive win
00:58:34showing they can win on grass and in the heat
00:58:43mosey tatupu in the backfield with robin weathers so unless craig james can get those other four yards
00:58:49still no patriot will rush for 100 this season yet
00:58:57pitch back to weathers
00:59:01stays in bounds clock continues to run pick up a four to the 46 345 remaining and counting
00:59:07cecil johnson on the tackle
00:59:13wonder if they know on the sideline that uh craig james is as close as he is to 100 yards
00:59:19so those fans certainly don't really care
00:59:25lindy suppose those fans are heading to the beach
00:59:27i think the weather is good enough for it and uh it's about the best thing can happen to them today huh
00:59:35that's where the cincinnati reds train right next door at al lopez field the senior senior al lopez
00:59:41second and six at the 46. tatupu close to a first down at the 40.
00:59:47and it is a first down for new england
00:59:58and the clock still running 250 remainings tatupu happy to get a call on either first or second down
01:00:04it's usually third or fourth for him looks like craig james will stay out resting on his 15 carries for
01:00:1196 yards two touchdowns rushing and one throwing touchdown pass to tony collins second time they've
01:00:18done it this year taking a snap from guy mars
01:00:24to tatupu two or three and the patriots do not have to get off another play before the two minute
01:00:32warning unless the buccaneers take a timeout 2 15 remaining
01:00:41and that'll be the case we will wind down to the two minute warning
01:00:45with the patriots leading the buccaneers 32 to 14.
01:00:50so that is the story here in tampa we're at the two minute warning what was a 14 nothing tampa bay
01:01:05lead is a 32 14 deficit the patriots on their back in tampa bay len berman with bob kuchenberg two
01:01:13minutes remaining and if you're wondering yes that's the most points the patriots have scored this season
01:01:17a notched 26 opening day against green bay but have struggled offensively since
01:01:25as there are not many fans left here at tampa stadium we had a crowd of roughly 40 000 they seat 74
01:01:33in the late 70s they would sell out with regularity but with the way this team is going
01:01:39hasn't happened well then the patriots have come back with 32 unanswered points as you've pointed out
01:01:43they haven't done it in what you would call a spectacular fashion but in a very convincing
01:01:49fashion they were patient to grind away at it and pick their spots and they've done they've played
01:01:56today like a championship caliber ball club this is a second and eight for new england
01:02:03weathers runs into a crowd gets inside the 35 and he's
01:02:07stacked up short which will set up a third and five and more importantly the clock continues to run with
01:02:13just 145 remaining and tampa bay has no thoughts of stopping it
01:02:23here's what our story has been tampa bay took a quick 14 nothing lead steve grogan fumble was in
01:02:30the middle there the patriots have come back look at that 32 points and shutting out tampa bay for three
01:02:36quarters and miami has lost so the patriots will at least be tied with miami at the
01:02:42very least one game back of the jets should new york hold on
01:02:49tatupu does not get a first down which means next sunday at sold out sullivan stadium the patriots and
01:02:55dolphins will both come in five and three miami losing to detroit 31 21 so it'll be a battle
01:03:02of two at least second place teams at five and three the jets were in their fourth quarter and
01:03:07they were leading seattle at last look and believe me i can tell you lynn that the dolphins are not
01:03:13looking forward to going up to foxborough being tied with the patriots going to be a long week for
01:03:18the dolphins in miami this week a timeout has been taken we'll take a timeout as well new england firmly in
01:03:24control
01:03:32are we back
01:03:36back in tampa the patriots ran off a quick fourth down play did not make the first down
01:03:43and with 19 seconds remaining in the game tampa bay will come back on the field
01:03:46tampa bay faces the prospect of going to new jersey next week to play the giants as they start the
01:03:57second half and they will be oh and eight continuing as the only winless team
01:04:04in the nfl lehman bennett maybe asking himself why did john mckay retire and choose me
01:04:11lynn i can tell you what's going through the minds of the dolphins right now they've lost up in detroit
01:04:15they've struggled the last couple of weeks and once again they find themselves in the familiar
01:04:20all too familiar situation of having to go up to foxborough to play a a patriot team that's been
01:04:26playing well and dominating people and is tied with the dolphins and a fine grab over on the far side
01:04:33made by kevin house 10 seconds remaining the bucks don't stop the clock and half-heartedly run up the
01:04:39line of scrimmage and now a whistle with just seven seconds left so now we will take a commercial
01:04:46timeout and then come back for the final seven seconds of this patriots victory over the buccaneers
01:04:53can take solace and that his team did play a good first quarter
01:04:57but it's been dreadful for him in the last three it's been downhill then but my heart goes out to
01:05:03lehman ben and he's a true gentleman and it's really the test of a man's character to go through
01:05:07what he's going through right now you see in the background is injured offensive coordinator jimmy
01:05:11ray it's been a long day and a long season for these guys seven seconds to go
01:05:19flag is thrown
01:05:23the berg is sacked but if the flags against new england the game would not be over
01:05:30and i believe it is against new england and the clock is stopped with one second to go anyway so
01:05:34either way we'll have another play
01:05:41offsides defense illegal motion offense replay first down
01:05:53so this will be barring penalty the last play of this one
01:05:58a terrific catch by stanley morgan
01:06:00gogan the catch and run by tony collins the three touchdowns by craig james that
01:06:07hit that grogan took before he completed a pass
01:06:11to irving fryer those are the big plays in this one
01:06:18and fittingly for the
