00:00:00This violence, along with its corporate partners, is currently developing effective domestic violence prevention models supporting efforts by local groups who aid victims and abusers and backing research initiatives in the area of domestic violence.
00:00:14NFL Charities was established so that NFL clubs could collectively make grants to worthy national causes. Since its inception, NFL Charities has made grand commitments of more than $21 million.
00:00:30New England will kick it off to start the second half, one in which the San Diego Chargers are going to have to make up a 24-point deficit if they are going to hold their edge in the wild-card race for that third spot.
00:00:45Andre Coleman wakes inside his five for the kick of Adam Vinatieri, and a tremendous first half for the New England Patriots.
00:00:54He gets a lot of this one, and Coleman's living four yards deep. He'll keep it there.
00:01:01First half statistics, 161 to 98 in the passing yards. Look at the Chargers, only 31 on the ground, as they were taken out of that mode pretty quickly.
00:01:18And time of possession, in the advantage of New England, points off of turnovers, that's always the big one. 17 to nothing on three takeaways.
00:01:27All right.
00:01:35Very cold, it's got credit for the tip on the end of the swing, there's all the name and the Yankees.
00:01:40Russell will get about four. Ted Johnson, the middle linebacker, with a stop.
00:01:44Mike, what San Diego has to do is come back out and try and establish some kind of pace on offense, and I think that's a good start.
00:01:49good start you get the ball to leonard russell you don't abandon what you wanted to do ralph
00:01:53friedrich has got to keep this thing in a rhythm go down and score now you put the onus on your
00:01:58defense to get at least one turnover for you so that you get a chance at some more
00:02:02play action by humphreys mcginnis in his face and it's intercepted
00:02:13stan humphreys with a bad throw and it's picked off by otis smith
00:02:18and the turnover woes continue for the san diego charges man it's like he never saw otis smith
00:02:27this is a play action fake they run the play action fake willie mcginnis doesn't buy it
00:02:36holds his ground comes out stan humphreys just sets and throws
00:02:40and otis smith just turns with them he goes under tony martin it's a bad decision and a bad throw
00:02:48this has got to remind stan humphreys of the tampa bay game when he did not play very well at all
00:02:53then he came back last week against kansas city and looked like he should have been in the hall of
00:02:57fame and the problem with that was mike it was also at home here the tampa bay game
00:03:01so new england with another great break forced by its defense curtis martin slipped as he tried to
00:03:10make his cut got to the 25 yard line kevin ross made the tackle and all stan can do is shake his head
00:03:16if you haven't seen a lot of stan humphreys don't rate him on tonight's performance only nine out of
00:03:22122 120 yards and three picks this guy in my mind is still one of the top five quarterbacks in the nfl he
00:03:29has but two of the last three weeks he just hasn't he's played so subpar at home to create problems when the fans start boom
00:03:37oh it looks a little bit of a chance to put it away here let's go pumps and goes to martin
00:03:44curtis martin shaking packers gets to the 11
00:03:48drew bledsoe again having all the time in the world to move around in the pocket mike the guys up front
00:03:59bruce armstrong william roberts dave walbaugh max lane todd rucci they've done a terrific job that's front
00:04:06five of the patriots have really made life easy for drew bledsoe
00:04:10he's now thrown 23 touchdown passes on the season only nine interceptions having a banner year
00:04:18another first down for the patriots
00:04:21bledsoe wants to change the ball
00:04:25quick throw jefferson jefferson dies touchdown
00:04:32you know that's almost a smile if it's too easy
00:04:39i gotta be honest sometimes as a quarterback you get up you see the corners off
00:04:44and you think this is this can't be this is too easy
00:04:47he drops back audibles to a hitch
00:04:49it's coming right down in your living room
00:04:52sean jefferson
00:04:54three-step drop fires it away perfectly thrown ball
00:04:58and now it's just all effort by the receiver when darian gordon was way off of him gordon
00:05:03comes back into the game after clark was toasted early
00:05:08four touchdown passes to four different receivers
00:05:13the point after it is good and it's looking ugly in san diego
00:05:19drew bledsoe nearly perfect tonight his fourth touchdown pass of the game and we're early third quarter
00:05:30the end sunday night nfl is brought to you by the visa check car
00:05:37it works just like a check only better
00:05:39by honda vehicles designed to help simplify your life
00:05:42and by levi's wide leg jeans it's wide open
00:05:45championship teams take advantage of opportunities and the new england patriots doing just that
00:05:54still returning the kickoff got to the 18-yard line
00:06:01and san diego will have to start from there
00:06:05bobby ross may almost feel that he doesn't want the chargers to get the football back
00:06:13the last four times they've had it fumble interception punt and fumble
00:06:16i mean they haven't even held in a minute
00:06:18i mean you're not even you're not even giving your offense
00:06:21oh you're excuse me your defense a chance to get rested
00:06:25i mean not only are they giving up short fields but they're not even getting off the field
00:06:28delay to russell mcginnis wraps him up
00:06:38maybe a yard
00:06:40now the crowd is really booing but if you want to send stan humphreys back to throw every time
00:06:46you may lose your starting quarterback
00:06:48and if you want to send him don't remember he's also got a bad shoulder
00:06:50and if you want to send him to the hospital you just drop him back every time
00:06:53and let the patriots go take shots at him
00:06:55i think now what you try and do
00:06:57is gain back some kind of confidence on offense
00:07:00and get something going that you can find something positive to talk about
00:07:03fletcher is in on second
00:07:06humphreys to martin splits the seam and gets it out to the 33-yard line
00:07:14when you look at new england it's a team that started poorly and has really come on strong and now they see the chance to tie for first in the afc east and actually take first place because they have a wild card tiebreaker and they're taking advantage of of the opportunity which is exactly what bill parkell's wanted to see in the
00:07:26and has really come on strong,
00:07:29and now they see the chance to tie for first in the AFC East
00:07:33and actually take first place because they have a wild-card tiebreaker,
00:07:36and they're taking advantage of the opportunity,
00:07:39which is exactly what Bill Parcells wanted to see in this.
00:07:44Humphrey's set.
00:07:46Caught around the ankles by Mark Wheeler,
00:07:49the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer
00:07:50who's always had a good inside pass rush.
00:07:53You know what he does, Mike?
00:07:54He plays so low.
00:07:55I think that's the thing about him.
00:07:57He has the ability to play so low, he gets down.
00:08:01That's Harry Sweeney he's up against.
00:08:04That's McGinnis coming there.
00:08:05Now you see, here comes Wheeler on the inside.
00:08:08Makes the play.
00:08:11You're going to get Mark a new picture.
00:08:19Humphrey's back to throw.
00:08:20Throws the out for the first down.
00:08:21Got it out to Jones who made the catch in front of Ty Law.
00:08:25What a compliment to him that people around San Diego are saying,
00:08:34you know, he reminds me a lot of Charlie Joyner.
00:08:37What a nice way to start.
00:08:39Well, they were both fourth-round picks.
00:08:40They were both somewhat diminutive in their size.
00:08:43You know, he's got those great moves.
00:08:46I think he'd be a great inside receiver as well as an outside receiver,
00:08:49but he's just going to get better and better.
00:08:52Third and six.
00:08:57Flag is down.
00:08:57Patriots made a jump.
00:08:59The pass to Fletcher.
00:09:00He is flattened as soon as he got it by Otis Smith.
00:09:03Mike, right from the beginning of this football game on the first third down pass
00:09:09that San Diego threw, Otis Smith was there to knock it down.
00:09:13He has been all over a receiver, whether it's a back or a wide receiver.
00:09:18Offsides of the defense, number 55.
00:09:21It's a five-yard penalty.
00:09:22Repeat third down.
00:09:23Willie McGinnis.
00:09:27It's one of the few mistakes this Patriot defense has made tonight.
00:09:30They have been superb.
00:09:32Al Groh's group, you know,
00:09:34I wouldn't really call them the strength of this football team.
00:09:38You look at the weapons on offense, you say,
00:09:39hey, look, that's where the strength lies,
00:09:41but they're playing really well now.
00:09:43And if they can play anywhere near this level,
00:09:46this team's got a chance.
00:09:48Third and a yard.
00:09:49Here comes the blitz.
00:09:50Humphreys unloads.
00:09:51Fletcher.
00:09:51First down, midfield and more to the New England 45-yard line.
00:09:57Jerome Henderson chased him out of bounds.
00:10:03Third and short.
00:10:04The Patriots say, hey, look, we're not sitting back.
00:10:06We're coming after you.
00:10:07Here come the corners.
00:10:09Terry Ray, number 23, trying to come.
00:10:12Fletcher's out in the flat by himself.
00:10:16I'll guarantee you one thing.
00:10:17The Chargers may not do much in the second half,
00:10:19but they won't quit.
00:10:20Nobody under Bobby Ross flitz.
00:10:23And he loves the character of the football players he has on the team.
00:10:30Humphreys ducks under pressure.
00:10:31Ducks under again, and then his sack gets a 50.
00:10:33Now, Willie McInnes isn't going to get credit for that sack, but he should.
00:10:38He should get like, they should make it like a quarter now.
00:10:40You know, like Wheeler gets three quarters, Willie gets a quarter.
00:10:45This time he goes inside a team's maze and then powers him around,
00:10:49forces Stan to step up,
00:10:51and air comes to help from the guys inside.
00:10:54Wheeler and Sangapulateli are right there.
00:10:57Another long-yarded situation for Humphreys, second and 16.
00:11:06They blitz, he throws to Still who can't hold it.
00:11:08Ty Law was right there.
00:11:11Isn't it amazing how guys in the beginning of a game really can't play?
00:11:16Darion Gordon was a little hurt.
00:11:17Ty Law didn't play.
00:11:19Now all of a sudden, Ty Law makes a play.
00:11:22Darion Gordon's returning punts.
00:11:24It's a good throw.
00:11:26Still has to try and make the play.
00:11:27He should catch it.
00:11:28Got to catch that clean.
00:11:31Defensive back is way too close to juggle it.
00:11:33Still a second-round choice out of Virginia Tech.
00:11:36Has really been slow coming around.
00:11:38He's only caught four balls the entire year.
00:11:43Humphreys buying a lot of time in the pocket throws.
00:11:46That one's nearly picked off.
00:11:49Lawyer Malloy got a hand on it for Still at the sideline.
00:11:55One good thing about that series for the San Diego Chargers, Mike,
00:11:59it did not end in something dramatic and drastic.
00:12:01An interception or a fumble.
00:12:05Bennett's a kick to Meggett.
00:12:07I know I'm looking for little positive things.
00:12:09Oh, no, you're right.
00:12:15Low snap.
00:12:16Bennett comes up with it.
00:12:18And kicks it near the roof of the stadium.
00:12:23Takes a sideways bounce inside the 25-yard line.
00:12:26Only a 26-yard punt.
00:12:299.18 to go in the third.
00:12:31Big New England.
00:12:33Veterans to sucker rookies in to think they're getting free turkeys.
00:12:36Here's the San Diego version.
00:12:39Give us a little gobble, gobble, gobble.
00:12:42For the holiday.
00:12:43Get them harder.
00:12:45Gobble, gobble, gobble.
00:12:45All right, that's terrific.
00:12:47Come on, man.
00:12:48A little gobble.
00:12:49Some gobble, gobble, gobble.
00:12:51Gobble, gobble.
00:12:51All right, fantastic.
00:12:54Salisbury set this up?
00:12:55Yeah, Salisbury set this up.
00:12:57You know what?
00:12:57He burned you.
00:12:58Daddy, let's stop being a rookie boy.
00:13:01At least you're just walking here.
00:13:03What's bad, some guys, they get two years in a row.
00:13:07Whelan was there the second time.
00:13:09Charlie Jones, Brian still.
00:13:12And it works every year.
00:13:16Go to the ground with Curtis Martin.
00:13:17He'll pick up a couple.
00:13:19Whelan gets caught for the second time.
00:13:22There he is.
00:13:23I saw him on the field before the game.
00:13:24He said, you're not going to show that, are you?
00:13:26I said, I have no control over things like this.
00:13:28If I had it my way, of course I would.
00:13:31He said, oh, no, you're not going to do that.
00:13:35I wonder what will happen next here.
00:13:37I'll bet you he doesn't get caught.
00:13:40Second and ten for New England.
00:13:45Bledsoe.
00:13:45Blem couldn't hold this one.
00:13:48Gordon made sure he didn't.
00:13:50This is a big thing for Bill Parcells' ball club now, Mike.
00:13:54You know, you've got to develop a killer instinct.
00:13:58You know, you get somebody down.
00:13:59You can't be bobbling passes.
00:14:01You still want to make first downs.
00:14:02You're still going to score points.
00:14:05This is what you try and do in this league.
00:14:06I'm not the kind of guy who, if I get down on somebody's one-yard line,
00:14:10I'm going to kneel down.
00:14:11I just think you keep piling it on.
00:14:13You keep burying it.
00:14:14We both put our pants on.
00:14:15You want to beat me up?
00:14:16Fine, but I'm coming after you.
00:14:18Well, they just about ripped their pants off by this point.
00:14:23Four-man rush.
00:14:26And I think it was intended for Coach.
00:14:28He never turned around, and it went by Rodney Harrison.
00:14:39San Diego's defense does their job.
00:14:41Should get the offense, the ball, in pretty good field position.
00:14:44Darion Gordon will go back to take the punt from Tupo,
00:14:50who was punished beautifully tonight.
00:14:55Came in sixth in the AFC, averaging 44.8.
00:14:58That would be a career high and a club record if he can maintain it.
00:15:03And he's increased it tonight.
00:15:04A little lower this time in the return of it.
00:15:15Gordon racked up at the 30-yard line.
00:15:20Great play by Corwin Brown down on special teams.
00:15:24Got help from Mariel Greer.
00:15:26Courtesy of the Goodyear Blimp Eagle, based in Carson, California.
00:15:32Tonight's pilot, Charles Russell.
00:15:34He is from Downey, California.
00:15:39Terrell Fletcher, the single back for Stan Humphrey.
00:15:42And movement up front, flying across, was Pio Tsangapulateli.
00:15:49Said somebody moved, let's get five yards.
00:15:55Isaac Davis even caught the flag when they threw it.
00:15:59Encroachment by the defense, number 75, five-yard penalty.
00:16:03It remains first down.
00:16:05I don't think Pio saw it that way, but that's the way it's going to be called.
00:16:12Well, you can bet that the front four of the Patriots are in the starting blocks now,
00:16:16coming after Stan Humphrey.
00:16:18And he's without one of his weapons, Andre Coleman, with a bruised left thigh.
00:16:22His return is questionable.
00:16:23Humphrey's with a short set, throws over the middle,
00:16:35marking of the catch-out near the 46th yard line.
00:16:42Ty Law doing a little equipment repair on the knee brace.
00:16:47They have done a great job, Mike.
00:16:49Fletcher out of the backfield will get five or six.
00:16:54They've done a great job with the aid so that guys can get back out.
00:16:58Knee braces, shoulder, in case it's separated or dislocated like Stan Humphreys has.
00:17:03They just have these harnesses you can wear and still go out and do your job.
00:17:07And then if surgery is required, you see guys coming back in two weeks
00:17:10after the arthroscopic stop.
00:17:12Gary Plummer with the 49ers.
00:17:14A week to 10, yeah, week to 10 days.
00:17:17Second and four.
00:17:19Draw play to Fletcher.
00:17:23Gets about one.
00:17:25Nice play by Teddy Bruschi who makes the stop.
00:17:31No, there they are.
00:17:31That's the inside of a case on the sidelines.
00:17:37Look at this, right here.
00:17:39They even have Pepto-Bismol for the guys that they needed out here.
00:17:43A little bit of everything.
00:17:45Tell you, trot some over to Bobby Ross.
00:17:46I think he's passed the need for Pepto-Bismol.
00:17:48But all that is on the sidelines.
00:17:50You've got Maalox, Pepto-Bismol.
00:17:53The little tomes down there.
00:17:55You need that?
00:17:56I can't read half of this stuff.
00:17:58When you played, they had a bucket of water over there.
00:18:01Was it?
00:18:01First down charges.
00:18:04Humpy's trying to get something going and throws behind Jones.
00:18:09He was well covered by Otis Smith, who's had a fine game.
00:18:12You really expect a quarterback to play much better at home instead of on the road.
00:18:25But look at this.
00:18:25I know.
00:18:26He's 77-4 at home.
00:18:28He is first in a away game.
00:18:31Over 100.
00:18:32That was coming into tonight, and it's going to change dramatically the wrong way.
00:18:37Humphries goes down, and it's Brewski.
00:18:40The former Arizona star, who tied an NCAA record with 52 sacks, comes in and gets one here.
00:18:48This is the game.
00:18:49The way this game is going right now plays right into Teddy Brewski's way to play defense.
00:18:54You saw him make a tackle on Fletcher to play before that.
00:18:58Now he can just put his ears back and come after Stan Humphries.
00:19:01Brewski said he never had to cover anybody in college, so this is a learning experience for him.
00:19:06He's still.
00:19:09Humphries still.
00:19:10Nice catch.
00:19:11He is drilled by Lawyer Malloy, but hung on.
00:19:19That's only his fifth catch of the year.
00:19:21And when you talk to the Chargers about Brian still, that's the stuff that he has to learn to do.
00:19:27He is going to have to learn to make plays when he gets the opportunity.
00:19:30This time he does.
00:19:32Now remember, even though he didn't have both feet inbounds,
00:19:35if he would have come down without getting knocked out of bounds by the defensive back,
00:19:41they would have felt that he would have had possession, and it's been a good catch,
00:19:44so that's why they gave it to him.
00:19:45Is Lawyer Malloy going to be a great player or what?
00:19:49Blips on Humphries again.
00:19:50Throws to the end zone.
00:19:51Martin can't hold it.
00:19:54Knocked away by Otis Smith, who got a hand on his jersey and pulled him down.
00:19:59Lawyer Malloy, number 36, coming right up the middle at Stan Humphries.
00:20:10You know, he does a good job.
00:20:11He picks the spot to come in and try and get to Stan,
00:20:14and then Tony Martin trying to make a circus catch, can't quite call it in.
00:20:18Bill Parcells, who was not overly praiseworthy of any of his ball club,
00:20:24said this kid is very aggressive, fearless, and smart.
00:20:29Everything you'd want.
00:20:32Martin couldn't get to the spot where Humphries was throwing.
00:20:35That's because Slade was standing there.
00:20:36Yes, he was.
00:20:37Well, sometimes when it goes long, you just have to write it off to a bad night.
00:20:46It's not going to get any better.
00:20:47I know, Stan 16 for 34 for just 204 yards with those three INPs.
00:20:54Other ones that jump up at you.
00:20:58This would leave the Chargers at 7-6, still in the playoff hunt,
00:21:02but they have a tough schedule to continue.
00:21:04And they'll whistle this play dead.
00:21:09This will be the 10th play of this drive.
00:21:12Second longest that San Diego has had tonight.
00:21:20Ed Hockley, the referee tonight.
00:21:31Before the ball was snapped, false start by the offense,
00:21:34number 70.
00:21:35It's a five-yard penalty.
00:21:36It remains third down.
00:21:38Juan Parker, the left tackle out of UCLA.
00:21:43Chargers basically in four-down territory,
00:21:45and four-down score and time territory as well for Bobby Ross.
00:21:51This has really been so bad.
00:21:52Doesn't even look like Bobby Ross is mad anymore.
00:21:55He's willing to disgust.
00:21:56Yes.
00:21:59Third and 15.
00:22:07Humphreys jumps it to Fletcher, can't handle it.
00:22:10Stan went down and is talking to Ed Hockley because he was belted by Slade.
00:22:15He didn't like being roughed up at all.
00:22:17Now he's going to yell at Slade a little bit.
00:22:21Stan isn't about to back down from anybody.
00:22:23No, nobody.
00:22:24You know, I don't think he has a cause here to gripe about the fact that he got hit.
00:22:28He was setting up a screen,
00:22:30and the offensive linemen are supposed to just sort of punch the defensive linemen
00:22:34and let them come to you.
00:22:36Fourth and 15, and down 38-7.
00:22:39They will go for it.
00:22:41It has not been a VCR kind of night for Stan Hockley.
00:22:4617-15.
00:22:47There is a marker down.
00:22:59Scooter Magruder nearly had it,
00:23:01and Stan Humphreys got blasted this time.
00:23:04A flag is down.
00:23:05It will be roughing the passer.
00:23:13Boy, he really went down hard that time.
00:23:15Mike Jones, the defensive left end,
00:23:23will be called for roughing the passer.
00:23:25Personal foul, roughing the passer by the defense, number 96.
00:23:33Blow to the head.
00:23:3415-yard penalty, automatic first down.
00:23:36You'll see Stan's head hit the ground.
00:23:38You'll see Stan's head hit the ground.
00:23:45And he's just basically out.
00:23:46This will get Sean Salisbury up and throwing, and it really wasn't as violent a hit as it initially looked, but it was the hit to the head that drew the penalty.
00:23:58And then what happens is Mike Jones is in the air.
00:24:00He's got his chest wrapped and his arms wrapped around Stan's head, and when all of the body weight hits that and drives the head into the ground, he's down.
00:24:11Watch it, he's going to jump, and just sort of tackles Stan, and then wraps himself around him, and his head hits the ground.
00:24:21You see that left hand just fall limp.
00:24:28Stan is out.
00:24:31They're still working on him on the field.
00:24:36One of the toughest guys around.
00:24:38He's been beating up the last couple of years.
00:24:41We will check on his condition when we come back.
00:24:4438-7 New England.
00:24:46Tonight's topic, winning in December.
00:24:51The Lions' Wayne Fonts has a winning percentage of 688, third among active coaches.
00:24:56San Diego's Bobby Ross has forged a 76-5 winning percentage, second only to George Seifert and the San Francisco 49ers,
00:25:03who absolutely own December with a winning percentage of 80.
00:25:07Well, tonight will be a blemish on Bobby Ross' December record, but he says he has done so well in December because players' character surfaces in big games.
00:25:19And Stan Humphreys, with that prototype batting of the eyes after you've had a blow to the head,
00:25:27we just hope that Stan is going to be all right for next week because his night's done.
00:25:32And Sean Salisbury will come in and throws past Jones.
00:25:44This is Stan Humphreys on the field before they got him up.
00:25:49Oh.
00:25:52Well, that's a scary look.
00:25:54They are not focusing.
00:25:55What Kiyoki Kamau, who's on the left there, the trainer's trying to get, is some response from him.
00:26:08Salisbury floats it out of bounds.
00:26:10Intended for Martin, but he ran into double coverage.
00:26:18And Humphreys will be put on the cart and taken to the locker room.
00:26:25There's a good thing that happened, Mike, is at least he's up and walking.
00:26:37Those eyes still aren't focusing.
00:26:42Third and ten to San Diego.
00:26:45Salisbury with a set and throws wide of still at the ten-yard line.
00:26:50Humphreys' night done 16 out of 36.
00:26:52204 yards, a touchdown, but three interceptions.
00:26:56And the Patriots just continue on defense to put pressure on the Charger quarterbacks.
00:27:02Still blinking those eyes, Mike.
00:27:04Boy, it's going to take a while for Stan to realize even where he is right now.
00:27:09Our best goes out to him.
00:27:10We hope he's all right.
00:27:12Fourth and ten.
00:27:13They'll go for it again.
00:27:14Salisbury throws this one behind Tony Martin.
00:27:25And they'll turn it over on down.
00:27:285.48 to go, third quarter.
00:27:30It is a rout in San Diego.
00:27:32New England on top by 31.
00:27:35Charger wide receiver Tony Martin in our spotlight.
00:27:38A big play receiver who leads the league in touchdown receptions.
00:27:41Well, because the game's gotten out of hand, he hasn't been much of a factor.
00:27:44Early on, man coverage.
00:27:45He beats Reynolds off the jam.
00:27:47Wises out the post.
00:27:48And then just flat out runs Reynolds for the big touchdown.
00:27:51Then, after the game got away, they started playing zone and double coverage.
00:27:54The hits underneath.
00:27:55And then, when they put him in the slot, he gets two linebackers at him.
00:27:59Gets hammered right there.
00:28:00Again, because no man coverage, he hasn't come up with a big play.
00:28:03Here are the numbers.
00:28:04They've thrown to him 11 times.
00:28:06Five receptions for 84 yards and a touchdown.
00:28:08Only one play over 20 yards.
00:28:09Those are big plays.
00:28:10Of course, that's a touchdown.
00:28:1246 yards of that 84 yards coming on one play.
00:28:15Mike?
00:28:16And, Mark, it's really tough to find anything good in the San Diego offense tonight.
00:28:22Patriots take over at their own 17-yard line.
00:28:26Martin flagged down.
00:28:29Martin gang-tackled.
00:28:34Kevin Ross led the charge.
00:28:36And now, we'll check out the penalty.
00:28:44And Terrence Shaw, slow getting up.
00:28:47That's because Reuben Davis fell on him.
00:28:49And this will go against New England.
00:29:02Bobby Ross will decline it.
00:29:04Illegal shift.
00:29:10Illegal shift.
00:29:10What?
00:29:10What?
00:29:11What?
00:29:11What?
00:29:11What?
00:29:11Two men moving on the offense.
00:29:14Number 41 and number 84.
00:29:16Five-yard penalty is 49.
00:29:18Brings up second down.
00:29:20Illegal shift.
00:29:22When you were playing, was this kind of defeat easier to accept than the one-pointers?
00:29:27No.
00:29:28Nothing.
00:29:29No.
00:29:30No?
00:29:30No way.
00:29:31There's no such thing as accepting a defeat easy.
00:29:35And if you lose by one or you lose by 50, they're still, I think, very hard to accept.
00:29:39But it's the type of loss that it is that I think is going to hurt Bobby Ross here.
00:29:44Because his team has just beat themselves, as well as the Patriots contributing to it.
00:29:55Bloods on the belay to Martin.
00:29:57Chargers everywhere.
00:29:59Lou Bush with the tackle.
00:30:00It's an ESPN NFL special Thursday at 7.30.
00:30:06Chris Berman and Tom Jackson bring you up today.
00:30:08We'll be in Indianapolis for Ricky Waters and the Eagles as they battle the resurgent Colts.
00:30:16So impressed with Indianapolis today.
00:30:18Those guys played their hearts out.
00:30:19They've suffered more injuries than anybody.
00:30:21Coaches like to call those gut checks, and they sure came out and played.
00:30:24Well, Paul Justin, I thought, played very well for him, the quarterback also.
00:30:27Third and 11.
00:30:30That just gives you an idea how strong Drew Bledsoe's arm is.
00:30:44A lot of times you see guys throw with velocity when they can step into a throw.
00:30:48That time he stood basically flat-footed and just fling the ball out for Ben Coates.
00:30:564.32 to go in the quarter, and Tupa will punt to Gordon.
00:30:59Very important.
00:31:01Very important.
00:31:01Deep to the Chargers.
00:31:06Spading by now is already about half-inch.
00:31:15Low line drive.
00:31:16Gordon from the 35.
00:31:20Broke one tackle, and then Barry after he got back to the 45.
00:31:23the return of 11 after a low punt of 40 yards.
00:31:27Mike Bartram down to make the tackle.
00:31:30We talked earlier about the New England weapons,
00:31:33and that's what you need on either side of the ball.
00:31:35Look at the numbers on these guys with Bledsoe, Martin, Coates, and Glenn.
00:31:40This is pretty good production.
00:31:42I mean, you know, you think Martin's got his 52 yards rushing.
00:31:45Coates has got his five receptions.
00:31:47Glenn's got his four with a touchdown.
00:31:50Drew Bledsoe has been razor-sharp with the four TDs.
00:31:54People will pick up the paper in the morning, say 197 yards.
00:31:57He was extremely accurate.
00:32:03Salisbury throws incomplete.
00:32:05Still was there.
00:32:07And you can't say enough about the New England defensive backs.
00:32:11Every pattern San Diego receivers run, they're on the inside of him.
00:32:15And I think a lot of that has to do with the coaching of Bill Belichick,
00:32:18who, of course, got fired in Cleveland.
00:32:20And I don't agree, to be honest with you,
00:32:22with Art Modell taking shots at Bill Belichick
00:32:24and saying that he was pressured into it, and the guy didn't do a good job.
00:32:28There's Bill.
00:32:29I mean, he put together an 11-5 record there,
00:32:31the second-best in the history of the Browns.
00:32:33And, you know, doing a good job with his ball play.
00:32:36Salisbury dumped back at the 35-yard line.
00:32:40Slade and McGinnis.
00:32:41The bookend rushers got to him.
00:32:48Mike, oddly enough, the only salvation that the offense of the Chargers will have
00:32:53is to try and throw the ball short.
00:32:56I'm talking somewhere between 7- to 12-yard passes.
00:33:00If Sean Salisbury holds it too long, you're going to see more sacks like that.
00:33:04Five sacks for New England.
00:33:05There's the short pass, and taken out of bounds at the 43 is Charlie Jones.
00:33:13What makes the five sacks even more impressive
00:33:15is that New England came into this game last in the NFL in sacks,
00:33:19and they've got five tonight.
00:33:23Spreaded Al Groh and Bill Parcells.
00:33:25The thing that I've noticed from New England, Mike,
00:33:28is they just continue to bring safety after safety from different parts of the field
00:33:32to put that additional pressure on San Diego quarterbacks.
00:33:36Darren Bennett has been a busy man.
00:33:37Will kick to Megan.
00:33:41Crushed it.
00:33:42Megan all the way back to the five.
00:33:46He doesn't get much out of the return.
00:33:48Only six yards after a 52-yard boomer.
00:33:51Eric Castle made the tackle.
00:33:56National Hockey Night, Tuesday on the Deuce, 7.30 p.m.
00:33:59two of the Western Conference's top teams,
00:34:02the Vancouver Canucks and the Detroit Red Wings.
00:34:05Then a Wednesday at 7.30 in an Atlantic Division battle
00:34:07between the Philadelphia Flyers and those New York Rangers.
00:34:142.59 to go third quarter.
00:34:18The Patriots, who will find themselves sitting atop the AFC East,
00:34:23at the conclusion of this game.
00:34:24With a 38-7 lead.
00:34:27They have the tiebreaker over Buffalo.
00:34:29Martin, ouch.
00:34:31Govea in the backfield.
00:34:34And that's really something that's been very quiet also.
00:34:36Kurt Govea, it's the first time we've really called his name.
00:34:39And Junior Seau has been basically nonexistent.
00:34:43There's Kurt Govea.
00:34:44Once Curtis Martin starts his way,
00:34:46he's going to close and make the play.
00:34:48Patriots came in tonight wanting to run at the perimeter
00:34:54of this San Diego defense.
00:34:56Haven't had too much.
00:34:58Their passing game has been so potent.
00:35:01Second and 14 for Bledsoe.
00:35:03The quick out to Glenn.
00:35:07Seau hustled out there to help Gordon on the tackle.
00:35:10Terry Glenn.
00:35:12Terry Glenn is a natural.
00:35:13I mean, he just, the way he runs,
00:35:16the way he handles himself on a football field,
00:35:20it's like the guy's been there all his life.
00:35:22He just, he makes moves.
00:35:24When he gets his hands on the ball,
00:35:26he gets a plan.
00:35:26He knows what he wants.
00:35:27He knows what he wants to do.
00:35:33Third and seven.
00:35:34Bledsoe almost intercepted by Govea,
00:35:46had it right in his hands at the 25
00:35:49and couldn't hold it.
00:35:50Govea may have hurt one of his hands.
00:35:54All Kurt Govea does here is when Drew looks this way,
00:35:58Kurt goes that way,
00:35:59and that's where the ball's going.
00:36:01He's just looking at Bledsoe all the way.
00:36:03Now he's going to break on it.
00:36:05And Junior comes in and hits him.
00:36:08May have jammed his hand into Junior.
00:36:11Govea, who Bobby Becker drafted originally
00:36:13when he was in Washington.
00:36:14Either that or trying to catch Drew's pass,
00:36:15hurt his hand.
00:36:18Still a little wait for Tupa's punt.
00:36:26Still from the 47.
00:36:29Retriever.
00:36:30Gets a block.
00:36:31Lost the ball.
00:36:33New England is going to score on special teams.
00:36:37Corwin Brown.
00:36:39Touchdown.
00:36:4042-yard fumble return.
00:36:44The Chargers said before this game
00:36:46they were concerned about having Steele back
00:36:49as a kick returner.
00:36:51They thought he could either break one
00:36:52or put one on the ground.
00:36:54And right there, he put one on the ground.
00:36:55Larry Wiggum was the man who knocked it loose.
00:37:00There's a marker down on the plot.
00:37:02There's a marker down on the plot.
00:37:08And the conference.
00:37:09See, I now have figured out why they have as many officials
00:37:18as they do in football games.
00:37:19You need at least three for a discussion
00:37:22and four to keep the players away
00:37:24so that the discussion can carry on.
00:37:26See?
00:37:27You got this group talking.
00:37:29He's going to keep them away.
00:37:31You keep the pets.
00:37:32And you build a little wall around him here
00:37:34so that these guys in the middle
00:37:35can make a decision.
00:37:41There was an illegal block in the back
00:37:44by the receiving team.
00:37:46That penalty has declined.
00:37:47The result of the play is a touchdown.
00:37:52Larry Wiggum, number 25,
00:37:54is going to force this fumble.
00:37:56And he is a special teams phenomenon.
00:37:58Now, still starts to the left.
00:38:00He's trying to get outside the wall.
00:38:01Liggum, see him trail him.
00:38:02Number 25.
00:38:04And then he just gives it the old Tommy Hawk chop.
00:38:06Knocks the ball away.
00:38:08Corwin Brown.
00:38:10Gets a late Thanksgiving.
00:38:15Larry Wiggum, number 25.
00:38:16Great hustle.
00:38:17Just decides to go inside
00:38:18and really just doing a good job of weaving and bumping.
00:38:22But he doesn't quit.
00:38:23Okay, Stills is making the play,
00:38:25but this guy won't quit.
00:38:27Great individual effort.
00:38:28Five San Diego turnovers.
00:38:3031 points for New England.
00:38:34Ouch.
00:38:37Vinatieri knocks it through.
00:38:40And the slaughter is on.
00:38:42Vinatieri.
00:38:43They're dancing in the streets in Boston.
00:38:53Not in San Diego.
00:38:54This, I know they didn't play well against Tampa a couple weeks ago.
00:38:58Stan Humphries admittedly, you know,
00:39:00said basically it was my fault I played a bad football game.
00:39:02But in every phase of football tonight,
00:39:05the San Diego Chargers have not done anything.
00:39:08I mean, it is really the worst I've seen a professional football team play
00:39:13across the board in a long time.
00:39:17And so, you know, you really have to wonder a little bit, Mike,
00:39:20how good are the New England Patriots?
00:39:22I mean, you know, they've executed, they've done some things,
00:39:25but really San Diego sort of handed it to them on a silver platter
00:39:29in every aspect of the game.
00:39:31Well, let's give some credit to New England.
00:39:33Oh, absolutely.
00:39:33I'm just saying.
00:39:34Their defense played extremely well.
00:39:36I know the point you're making.
00:39:38You're absolutely correct.
00:39:39But Bledsoe took advantage of it on offense,
00:39:41and the defensive players took advantage on that side of the ball.
00:39:44And we've seen special teams now.
00:39:45Yeah, absolutely.
00:39:47And Bill Parcells said this will be a challenge,
00:39:49a playoff atmosphere, a big game on the road,
00:39:52and he wanted to see how his team responded.
00:39:54Now, I know Bill Parcells will find something that he didn't like
00:39:57to talk about on the plane ride home,
00:39:59but most of it, he's going to be very pleased.
00:40:05Still will return the kickoff.
00:40:08Splits it right up the gut.
00:40:10Benatieri makes the tackle at the 45.
00:40:14Still trying to atone for his mistake.
00:40:22These are the standings you'll see in the AFC East.
00:40:25New England over Buffalo.
00:40:26They have a better divisional record right now.
00:40:28That's the tiebreaker advantage.
00:40:30Indianapolis with a big win today.
00:40:31Still two games back, and now back in the playoff hunt at 7-6.
00:40:36Miami drops to 6-7.
00:40:38They're probably done.
00:40:40The Jets were done in October.
00:40:43Fletcher, Barry.
00:40:44And I think something that Jimmy Johnson commented on today,
00:40:47he said this football team that he has right now,
00:40:50and that's the key word we're in right now,
00:40:52is not good enough to overcome turnovers and mistakes.
00:40:55Four interceptions, I believe, today by Dan,
00:40:58which is very uncharacteristic of him.
00:41:03Salisbury to Deans May.
00:41:05Big tight end out of North Carolina.
00:41:07He's up at the 45-yard line.
00:41:08These are the passes that the Chargers have to try and complete on offense, Mike.
00:41:13It's going to be the short ones.
00:41:15Because if Sean Salisbury has to hold the ball very long,
00:41:18New England's just going to bring those backers again in backs,
00:41:22and he's going to wind up on his.
00:41:23The report on Stan Humphreys still in the locker room being examined.
00:41:28It looked for all the world like a concussion.
00:41:32And they have confirmed it now.
00:41:38Salisbury with a quick out.
00:41:40That's complete to Charlie Jones,
00:41:42who ran past the first down,
00:41:44sticks and out of bounds.
00:41:44That's just, you know, another rookie mistake.
00:41:49He has the first down.
00:41:51You know, he's thinking it's towards the end of the game.
00:41:53I've got to get out of bounds.
00:41:54I've got to stop the clock.
00:41:56It's only the third quarter, Charlie.
00:41:58I mean, it's a good thought process,
00:42:00but it doesn't belong in the game at this time.
00:42:06It is fourth and a yard for San Diego.
00:42:09Russell will try to get it on the ground
00:42:14and did not get back to the original line of scrimmage.
00:42:18So the San Diego Chargers are seeing it all go south,
00:42:22and they will turn it over on downs.
00:42:28First down, New England already leading 45-7.
00:42:32Mike, this is the price you pay
00:42:34when you have use on a football team.
00:42:37Brian still puts one on the ground.
00:42:39We saw Charlie Jones a couple times.
00:42:41You know, leap for a ball,
00:42:42maybe if he would have kept running.
00:42:44He gets really one catch taken away from him,
00:42:46but even when he got up,
00:42:47he didn't try and run for it.
00:42:49Here now, instead of getting the first down,
00:42:52he runs back out of bounds,
00:42:54winds up giving the ball up.
00:42:55That's what happens with youth.
00:42:56I mean, Bobby Ross certainly doesn't appreciate
00:42:58the fact that these kids have to learn.
00:43:01Would love to have them deliver
00:43:03more than just go through the learning process.
00:43:05This will be the final play of the third quarter.
00:43:09Martin hitting the backfield.
00:43:12Lost a yard.
00:43:14Govan slashing in there.
00:43:16That's the end of the third from San Diego.
00:43:1845-7, New England.
00:43:20We're in San Diego,
00:43:26and time to look at the Braun storyline for you.
00:43:2945-7 was still a quarter to go.
00:43:32Drew Bledsoe extremely efficient.
00:43:35Inside the 20, they have been perfect.
00:43:37Four touchdowns in four opportunities,
00:43:39and those five huge turnovers.
00:43:4131 of the 45 points coming off of turnovers.
00:43:44What's that was started?
00:43:50He's only 46.
00:43:55Weifers over the middle of the gland,
00:43:58and Glenn down to the 28-yard line.
00:44:00You know, Mike, we saw him throw the ball
00:44:02the last time they had the ball,
00:44:04throw it to Ben Coates flat-footed.
00:44:06That time, Drew Bledsoe has an opportunity
00:44:09to sit in the pocket
00:44:10and really step up
00:44:11and put it down the field.
00:44:14And it'll come back.
00:44:16I'm going to show you.
00:44:17After the call here, I'm going to...
00:44:19Holding by the offense, number 87.
00:44:2210-yard penalty.
00:44:23Repeat second down.
00:44:24That's Ben Coates.
00:44:25I'm going to give you an idea
00:44:26of how footwork and delivery are important.
00:44:28Look at the lower left box, okay?
00:44:30There's the lower left box.
00:44:32Now watch his feet.
00:44:32He's dropping back.
00:44:33A little play-action fake.
00:44:35Good set.
00:44:36Plant that right foot hard right there.
00:44:39Okay, now get your weight going forward.
00:44:41Now, if you look up at the right box,
00:44:43you'll see that he's got his weight going forward.
00:44:46Left shoulder up in the air just a little bit.
00:44:48The ball's going to come out,
00:44:50and he's going to make a good throw
00:44:51and a good transfer of weight.
00:44:53Now that is throwing on balance
00:44:55with good mechanics.
00:44:56A perfect strike for 26 yards
00:44:59to fall back.
00:45:00A puck!
00:45:02Here comes the blitz.
00:45:04They'll go with a run to Martin.
00:45:06Curtis Martin
00:45:07to midfield to the Charger,
00:45:1048-yard line.
00:45:22When we saw Drew Bledsoe in preseason,
00:45:25he said one of his goals
00:45:26was to raise his completion percentage.
00:45:28He wanted to hit 60% of his passes this year.
00:45:31Of course, he was coming off
00:45:32of a terrible year last year
00:45:33when he had a separated shoulder.
00:45:34I think realistically,
00:45:35that's where every quarterback should point.
00:45:37Of course, Drew,
00:45:38it was going to be a good increase for him
00:45:39with six, seven points over where he was.
00:45:42That was going to be his way
00:45:44of playing better football for his team.
00:45:46Third down and four.
00:45:54Bledsoe throws first down.
00:45:56Jefferson to the Charger, 38.
00:45:59Terrence Shaw was right there.
00:46:00Well, he is in total command
00:46:02of what's going on.
00:46:03We saw him audible eyes to Sean Jefferson
00:46:05on a hitch that wound up being a touchdown.
00:46:08Now we see him decide to go the other way
00:46:10and have him run the slant.
00:46:12And Sean makes the catch.
00:46:1355% or better.
00:46:15They are perfect.
00:46:16They will extend that record at 9-0.
00:46:20He looks like he's standing in the backyard
00:46:22with some guys in the neighborhood.
00:46:23Yeah, it's just let's go out and play football
00:46:24on a Saturday afternoon.
00:46:32Mario Greer will get his first carry.
00:46:34And I was just about to ask you,
00:46:35when do you start thinking about
00:46:36getting your starters out?
00:46:37Bill Parcells, good answer.
00:46:43There's the guy.
00:46:43Chris Palmer has worked with Drew Bledsoe.
00:46:45He's the quarterback coach.
00:46:46But I'll tell you something.
00:46:47This guy's not getting enough credit
00:46:48for the job that he's done.
00:46:50Ray, lean back a little.
00:46:50There you go.
00:46:51I didn't want him to move out of the circuit.
00:46:53But Ray Perkins, I think,
00:46:54has done a terrific job
00:46:55of getting the weapons back
00:46:57that he needed to support Drew Bledsoe
00:46:59and allow him to play at this level.
00:47:02And you have always been a big proponent
00:47:03of quarterback coaching.
00:47:05Absolutely.
00:47:05I think they're vital to the growth
00:47:08and continued progress of the quarterback.
00:47:12Detson leads him out on second and nine.
00:47:15Greer behind gas.
00:47:18Greer running hard down to the 35-yard line.
00:47:21Greer out of Tennessee, Chattanooga.
00:47:23A rookie.
00:47:24Dwayne Gordon, who was injured earlier,
00:47:26back in to make a tackle.
00:47:27Here's how accurate Drew Bledsoe has to come.
00:47:33The last five games,
00:47:35he has had four games over 70% completions.
00:47:38He only had three his first 51 games in the NFL.
00:47:41Mike, part of that is coaching.
00:47:43Part of that is his desire to improve.
00:47:46And part of that is playing enough
00:47:47so that you see all the different defenses
00:47:50you're up against,
00:47:51knowing your offense
00:47:52and what you want to do with the football.
00:47:53flag is down.
00:48:02Fires with a catch.
00:48:04Horse-collared by Gordon at the 25-yard check to Martin.
00:48:07Fires.
00:48:08You know, everything goes together, Joe.
00:48:12One of the other parts of that
00:48:13is he's got a running game with Curtis Martin,
00:48:15so he's not forced to throw all the time.
00:48:17Exactly.
00:48:21Adhocally discussing the penalty marker.
00:48:24We just saw Keith Byers make that catch, too, Mike.
00:48:27I mean, Bill Parcells just couldn't rave enough about him.
00:48:30He says, you know something?
00:48:31This guy will do anything I want.
00:48:34And, well, terrific hands.
00:48:36Has some of the best hands in the league.
00:48:39It's another illegal shift.
00:48:40Illegal shift in the offense.
00:48:41Two men moving at the same time.
00:48:43The man in motion and the up back
00:48:45are moving at the same time.
00:48:46Five-yard penalty.
00:48:47Repeat third down.
00:48:49Fires number four all time
00:48:52in receptions by a running back.
00:48:53Bill Parcells says,
00:48:54I can use him at tight end.
00:48:55I can use him at a running back.
00:48:57He can still run the ball.
00:48:58He's an excellent athlete.
00:48:59Giant fans will remember this name.
00:49:01Zeke Moak, he said,
00:49:02was the only guy that he could compare him to
00:49:04because he said,
00:49:05I could put Zeke anywhere
00:49:07and he could get the job done for me.
00:49:10Byers over 5,000 yards in receptions.
00:49:14He's not happy being a tight end in Miami.
00:49:20Jefferson and Glenn to the same side.
00:49:25Flugs over the screen.
00:49:27Nice catch by Megan.
00:49:28Dave Megan with a great one-hand grab.
00:49:32Gets down to the 32.
00:49:33Terrence Shaw made the tackle.
00:49:35Bill Parcells is in a little bit of a bind right now.
00:49:38You're going to have fourth down in about four.
00:49:41You send your field goal team out.
00:49:43It's a little bit long.
00:49:45It's not really, it's not,
00:49:47you know, to send your punt team out,
00:49:49it really isn't long enough.
00:49:51So I think what you do is you go for it.
00:49:53This isn't trying to run the score up.
00:49:55This is just a good decision at this point on the field.
00:49:59San Diego's already given up.
00:50:01There's Vinatieri.
00:50:02San Diego's already given up 45 points.
00:50:04The worst since 1988 in a regular season game.
00:50:08And they lost 48-10 to San Francisco.
00:50:10That used to be the guy he threw to four out of five times.
00:50:22When in doubt, look for Ben.
00:50:24Big Ben just keeps on working.
00:50:28You know, he's the kind of guy you can't cover, I think, one-on-one.
00:50:31Busch is trying to stay with him.
00:50:34He's mugging him and mauling him.
00:50:36But he's just so big and got wonderful soft hands.
00:50:40Drew did a nice job of just buying time.
00:50:42Again, I can't say enough about that offensive line,
00:50:45the job they've done tonight.
00:50:48They have been superb.
00:50:49San Diego blitz so many times early, never got there.
00:50:52Fighting for extra yardage inside the 20 to the 19.
00:51:05Junior Seau in on the tackle.
00:51:06The big thing for both coaches at this juncture with 9-15 left in this ballgame,
00:51:12you don't want to see anybody get seriously hurt.
00:51:15I mean, this thing's basically decided it's over.
00:51:18And Bobby Ross has just got to say,
00:51:20all right, we've got to get out of this thing healthy so I can line my people up
00:51:23and get ready for some tough road games against Pittsburgh and Chicago.
00:51:27Well, Pio can get hurt that way.
00:51:29It goes the other way, big guy.
00:51:32Of course, if they hit him in the back of the head,
00:51:34he's going to be extremely well-percepted.
00:51:39Greer behind Gash.
00:51:43Sam Gash is the unmentioned guy in this offense
00:51:46and the guy who throws some wicked blocks
00:51:49and is primarily responsible for a lot of the yardage
00:51:52that Curtis Martin has racked up in his two years in the league.
00:51:56Sam Gash, called by Bobby Rosser here this week,
00:51:59the most underrated player in the NFL.
00:52:01Bill Parcells loves him,
00:52:03and he's become a much better pass receiver.
00:52:05And Curtis Martin speaks of him like a bodyguard,
00:52:09a personal protector.
00:52:10He said, we really try and help one another.
00:52:12He said, if he makes a great block and I don't gain any yards,
00:52:15I feel like I let him down.
00:52:17And they've become almost like brothers with that relationship.
00:52:22Greer again.
00:52:26Breaking tackle.
00:52:27Greer with a 10 to the 5.
00:52:30It will be first and goal, New England.
00:52:33Rodney Harrison saved the touchdown.
00:52:35If that isn't indicative of the night
00:52:38that the Chargers have had defensively, nothing is.
00:52:41This is a football team, the San Diego Chargers,
00:52:44who have not done a good job tacking all night.
00:52:47And that started right in the beginning.
00:52:51Bush, Govea, Junior, they've all struggled.
00:52:55Junior Seau, heart and soul of this defense
00:52:58has been a non-factor.
00:52:59Greer.
00:53:04First and goal in a public mugging in San Diego.
00:53:11Greer lowers his head, so does Seau.
00:53:14They collide at the 5.
00:53:19You know, I wouldn't expect Bill Parcells
00:53:21to just run four plays down here
00:53:23and be satisfied with anything.
00:53:25I think he's going to run his offense.
00:53:27He may run it again this time.
00:53:29Then, you know, you might look for the play action pass
00:53:31for the touchdown.
00:53:33And, you know, I don't, like I said,
00:53:34I don't have a problem with that.
00:53:35I think you just keep on putting points on it.
00:53:37You know, I don't think Bobby Ross
00:53:38will have a problem with it either.
00:53:40No, Bobby is in the same situation as he did.
00:53:42Plus, again, you have to remember,
00:53:44points are a determining factor in tiebreakers.
00:53:47Loose 16.
00:53:49Loose 16.
00:53:51Go ahead.
00:53:51We're behind the gas.
00:53:54Got to it back to three.
00:53:59And somebody lost their hat.
00:54:02And it's Reuben Davis.
00:54:04You still can't find him.
00:54:05Where'd he go?
00:54:05He's 10 yards away from him.
00:54:06Where'd he go?
00:54:07Have you guys seen this?
00:54:08No, thanks.
00:54:08Ted Bruschi.
00:54:25Probably didn't take a shower this morning.
00:54:28Nobody said, oh, hold it.
00:54:29Here comes one of the other guys.
00:54:30Hi, Ted.
00:54:31What are you doing over here?
00:54:32Third and goal.
00:54:40Greer inside the two.
00:54:44Now, Bill's at one of those crossroads again.
00:54:47He can try and run it in
00:54:48or just kick the field goal.
00:54:51My guess is
00:54:52he's just going to try and pound it in
00:54:55maybe one more time
00:54:56or possibly run the play, actually.
00:55:00Tupo on the left.
00:55:01Vinatieri on the right.
00:55:02No seven field goals for Adam Vinatieri.
00:55:07But maybe a fifth touchdown pass for Drew Bledsoe.
00:55:10Could be.
00:55:15Some of the fans don't like it.
00:55:17He doesn't get in.
00:55:31He's going to be about a foot short of the goal line.
00:55:36Greer trying the old patented Marcus Allen
00:55:39or Walter Payton up and over.
00:55:41Doesn't quite have the spring.
00:55:42The Chargers hold.
00:55:47They'll take over on down.
00:55:52Introducing McDonald's Deluxe Sandwiches.
00:55:54They're new.
00:55:55They're big.

00:56:07Would a man attack the peak of K2
00:56:10with a remarkably soft pair of pants
00:56:12were placed there?
00:56:13Would a man tread the lip of a volcano
00:56:15for pants that were pure cotton yet wrinkle-free?
00:56:19Would a man brave the trackless Sahara
00:56:21for pants that were suitable for work and play?
00:56:24A man would, if he were a fool.
00:56:27Because he could go to the store and say,
00:56:29yes, I'd like to try on the ultimate pant,
00:56:31new by Hager.
00:56:33Besides, your wife won't let you go to the Sahara anyway.

00:57:40San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium,
00:57:46the site of a bludgeoning tonight
00:57:48as the New England Patriots,
00:57:50with five minutes left to go in the game,
00:57:51lead 45-7.
00:57:53And the few cheers that we hear from the stands
00:57:55are from Patriot fans.
00:57:57The thing is, too, Mike,
00:57:58is San Diego has contributed more to their own demise
00:58:01than I feel like New England has.
00:58:0331 points of the 45 off the turnover.
00:58:06Salisbury, who was out of football a year ago,
00:58:33worked for a sports radio operation.
00:58:36That one is tipped in complete by Terry Ray.
00:58:44Ten minutes on the last ride.
00:58:46Ten, count it.
00:58:47You know what they did?
00:58:48They ran it,
00:58:49and when they had to convert the third downs,
00:58:51they did.
00:58:52And that's the way you do it.
00:58:53That looked a lot like the New York football giants.
00:58:56Yeah, but you asked Bill about that.
00:58:59He says, you know, when I had the Giants,
00:59:01I knew what I had.
00:59:02He had Lawrence Taylor.
00:59:03He had Phil Senn.
00:59:04He still doesn't quite know this football team yet.
00:59:06And the way he explained it last night I think is the essence of coaching.
00:59:11He says, I don't have that kind of team.
00:59:13I can't come out every week and run it all that much.
00:59:15Five-yard penalty remains third down.
00:59:22What he has done is take the weapons available to him
00:59:25and mold his system to fit his talent.
00:59:28That's the way you win football games
00:59:30or any other athletic endeavor.
00:59:33Yep.
00:59:33You just take with what you've got
00:59:35and do the best you can with.
00:59:37Bill Parcells in the last year of his contract.
00:59:39I sincerely hope that he comes back.
00:59:41I think he is very good,
00:59:43not only for the New England Patriots,
00:59:44he's very good for football in general.
00:59:48Salisbury throws this one off the fingertips of Still
00:59:51up near the 20-yard line.
00:59:55Coming up after our broadcast,

01:00:05in a conversation with the new number one,
01:00:08Bobby Bowden of Florida State.
01:00:10That will be followed by NFL Primetime.
01:00:19Floyd Brown will now do the punt return duty.
01:00:21He's back at his own 43.
01:00:25Poor kick.
01:00:28And it will go sideways out of bounds
01:00:30near the 45-yard line.
01:00:31A 50-yard punt with the bounce.
01:00:34No return.

01:02:11Welcome back to San Diego.
01:02:13The New England Patriots secondary
01:02:14in our Packard Bell spotlight.
01:02:16They have been the worst secondary in the league.
01:02:18Rated number 30th.
01:02:19Tonight they come up with three big plays.
01:02:21Early on, linebacker Ted Johnson.
01:02:23An interception.
01:02:25A little bit later.
01:02:26Tronk safety.
01:02:26Laurie Malloy.
01:02:27Another interception.
01:02:28And then finally,
01:02:29Otis Smith under Martin
01:02:30picks off the ball.
01:02:31Three INTs for the pass tonight.
01:02:33Mike?
01:02:34I tell you,
01:02:35they have been very impressive, Mark.
01:02:38Very impressive.
01:02:39Scott Zolak relieves Bledsoe
01:02:42with 4.22 to go.
01:02:45And Greer will follow Gash
01:02:47as they keep it on the ground.
01:02:49Greer knocked out of ground bounds
01:02:51at midfield.
01:02:51Back to Martin.
01:02:52All right, Mike.
01:02:53So far this season,
01:02:54the Pats have been given up
01:02:55254 yards a game.
01:02:57Tonight,
01:02:5820 completions on 46 pass attempts,
01:03:00only allowing 179 yards.
01:03:02Three INTs,
01:03:03the one touchdown.
01:03:05They had given up.
01:03:06It's a pretty good performance
01:03:07by a much maligned
01:03:08and much injured
01:03:09Patriots secondary.
01:03:10Mike?
01:03:11And Mark,
01:03:12you want to get healthy
01:03:12at the end of the year
01:03:13going toward the playoffs.
01:03:15And that's exactly
01:03:17what they're doing.
01:03:17And you want to get momentum also.
01:03:19and that's something
01:03:19else they're doing.
01:03:21Second and six.
01:03:23Under four minutes
01:03:23to go in the unit.
01:03:27Greer again,
01:03:28this time caught
01:03:29by Rayleigh Johnson.
01:03:33Fourth year man
01:03:34out of Arkansas.
01:03:38The Patriots' last drive
01:03:39took more than 10 minutes.
01:03:41Only a minute 23 short
01:03:43of the last nine
01:03:44Charger drives combined.
01:03:46I think they call that
01:03:47domination.
01:03:48Yeah.
01:03:48Don't they?
01:03:49Now Bobby Ross is just
01:03:51I mean right now
01:03:52he's thinking about
01:03:54all the things
01:03:55that he's got to say
01:03:56to this ball club
01:03:57to get them pointed
01:03:59in the right direction
01:03:59because they're on their way
01:04:00to Pittsburgh next week
01:04:01who lost the ball game
01:04:03and they're not going
01:04:03to be happy either
01:04:04under Bill Cowell.
01:04:05No, they're going to be
01:04:05two very unhappy
01:04:06football teams made it.
01:04:09Draw play to Greer.
01:04:11They'll be stopped
01:04:12short of the first down.
01:04:14Needed a yard.
01:04:15Didn't even get back
01:04:16to the original line of scrimmage.
01:04:18I'm sorry,
01:04:18he didn't get back
01:04:19to the original line of scrimmage
01:04:20which would have made it
01:04:21third and ten.
01:04:21You know,
01:04:22the soft
01:04:22John Perrella
01:04:24along with number 38

01:04:38Well, he sure had it
01:04:39for three weeks.
01:04:40And, you know,
01:04:41I'm really thrilled

01:04:43and he's really rallied
01:04:44that Cardinal team around him.

01:04:54Low line drive.
01:04:56And bounces out

01:07:03Yes, it does.
01:07:05If we took the blimp,
01:07:06it would take us

01:09:01The loss is one thing
01:09:05for San Diego,
01:09:06but the play that occurred
01:09:07in the third quarter
01:09:08may have lasting ramifications
01:09:10as Stan Humphreys
01:09:11took a blow to the head
01:09:13and watch his head
01:09:15hit the turf.
01:09:16He really went down hard
01:09:17and suffered a concussion
01:09:19and just painful
01:09:21to watch the expression
01:09:22on his face.
01:09:24And all we can hope
01:09:25is that Stan Humphreys
01:09:26will be fine
01:09:28and be able to come back

01:09:30They have to play
01:09:31at Pittsburgh
01:09:32then travel to Chicago
01:09:33and then in our ESPN game
01:09:35on December 22nd
01:09:36they'll go against the team
01:09:37with the best record
01:09:38in football,
01:09:39the Denver Broncos.
01:09:40This is a tough
01:09:41remaining three-game stretch.
01:09:43They can catch a break
01:09:44in that Denver game
01:09:45if they can win
01:09:46the next two
01:09:46because Denver
01:09:47probably will sit
01:09:48a lot of their people
01:09:49to get ready
01:09:50for the playoffs.
01:09:54Salisbury chased up

01:10:06and Chad Eaton
01:10:08is a special story.

01:10:13He said her one wish
01:10:15is to see him play
01:10:17and I hope she got
01:10:18a look at that one.

01:11:11And if I see fear

01:11:56Can MasterCard
01:11:56help stop a thief?
01:11:58The answer lies
01:11:59in the tamper-resistant
01:12:00panel that MasterCard
01:12:01pioneered.
01:12:02It makes a stolen
01:12:02credit card
01:12:03practically useless.
01:12:04And your MasterCard

01:13:14down the middle,
01:13:15almost intercepted
01:13:16again.
01:13:18And that was
01:13:19Larry Wiggum.
01:13:20The Patriots
01:13:21have the Jets,
01:13:25then they have
01:13:26to go to Dallas
01:13:27and then play
01:13:28in New York.
01:13:29So they're going
01:13:30to be favored
01:13:30in at least two
01:13:31of those.
01:13:32It'll be pretty
01:13:32close with Dallas.
01:13:34They could run
01:13:34the table.
01:13:35Yeah,
01:13:35they really could.
01:13:36And, you know,
01:13:36obviously the Cowboys
01:13:38are certainly going
01:13:38to need that game
01:13:39to keep pace
01:13:40in the NFC East
01:13:41where Philadelphia
01:13:42won today.
01:13:43Washington's been
01:13:44off for ten days.
01:13:49Salisbury throws
01:13:50the interception.
01:13:52Picked off
01:13:53by Jerome Henderson
01:13:54who was originally
01:13:57a second round
01:13:58draft pick
01:13:58of New England
01:13:59and then went
01:14:00to Buffalo
01:14:00and Philadelphia
01:14:01before coming back.
01:14:06Salisbury just
01:14:07throws this ball
01:14:08behind Jones.
01:14:11He gets it out
01:14:12but doesn't get it
01:14:12out far enough.
01:14:14The ball's late
01:14:15behind him.
01:14:17Here comes the
01:14:18INT.
01:14:19Jerome Henderson
01:14:19just breaks on it.
01:14:21Six turnovers
01:14:22and six sacks
01:14:24by the much maligned
01:14:25New England defense.
01:14:26Well, they're going
01:14:27to be thrilled
01:14:27on the charter flight
01:14:28back east.
01:14:29Yeah, but you know
01:14:29what?
01:14:30I guarantee you
01:14:30what Bill Parcells
01:14:32is going to tell them
01:14:33is don't get big
01:14:35heads over this.
01:14:37You know,
01:14:38they handed us
01:14:38a lot tonight.
01:14:39We didn't really
01:14:40have to work that hard
01:14:40for some of them
01:14:41but hey,
01:14:42nice job.
01:14:43I mean,
01:14:43that would be it.
01:14:44And really,
01:14:45Bobby Ross,
01:14:46I think,
01:14:46has the biggest challenge,
01:14:48Mike.
01:14:48What's he say
01:14:49to his football team?
01:14:50I mean,
01:14:50it's easy when you're
01:14:51a New England Patriot,
01:14:52you've got good things
01:14:53going,
01:14:53but Coach Ross
01:14:54has got to figure out
01:14:55something to say
01:14:56to this ball club
01:14:57in the locker room.
01:14:57Well,
01:15:03it won't be a good job,
01:15:04man.
01:15:04No,
01:15:05that will not be it.
01:15:07But Bobby Ross will have
01:15:08him ready to play
01:15:09next week in Pittsburgh.
01:15:13That's all I can do now.
01:15:14He's taking me.
01:15:23So the New England Patriots
01:15:25go into first place
01:15:26in the AFC East
01:15:27because they currently
01:15:28have the tiebreaker
01:15:29over the Buffalo Bills
01:15:30who lost in Indianapolis
01:15:31today.
01:15:33And this is,
01:15:33you would think,
01:15:34this kind of performance
01:15:35and the streak
01:15:36they have been on
01:15:37is something they can
01:15:38really build on
01:15:39going into the last
01:15:39three weeks.
01:15:40Mike,
01:15:40the fact that they won
01:15:41on the road here
01:15:42in San Diego
01:15:43is,
01:15:43I think,
01:15:44overall,
01:15:44maybe the most
01:15:45important thing
01:15:46because they've done it
01:15:47away from home.
01:15:49Don't forget,
01:15:49we'll be back with you
01:15:50Thursday night
01:15:51from Indianapolis.
01:15:52The Eagles
