Arnett behind good help from Pyle swings to the outside and picks up a gain of 6 yards [Applause] and with a four that 18 of the 32 here is LeClair trying a field goal for the Bears it is far enough but it is too wide wide to the left and the Bears are unable to score Baltimore in action now with a second and 12 at the 18 Unitas back to throw looking for one of his favorite targets Jimmy or and it's just off the fingertips of or incomplete forward pass or protesting a little bit of what he thought was pass interference it'll be a third and 12 now at the 18 unitas going to another of his favorite targets this one is Raymond berry and a typical berry patch picks up a first down for Baltimore a gain of 22 as the first quarter ends second period action now first and ten at their own 41 Unitas hands off plenty more on the draw and watch Butkus number 51 fleece plenty more for the football and the Bears recover Taylor is given fumble recovery credit [Applause] Unitas returning to the sidelines with his other offensive teammates and here come the bears with another fine opportunity you kids back to throw over the middle Big Mike dick is there makes the grab gets away from Jerry Logan and has finally knocked down after a gain of 12 first and 10 now the 31 the Bears driving Duke its back to fire once more over the middle to go Gordon on the receiving end to the fine catch a gain of 15 in a first down the ball had been whistled dead so Lyle's apparent recovery will do the Colts no good on the play however child is guilty of holding for the Chicago Bears since the Bears back 15 yards and nullifies the catch by Gordon defensive teammates Fortunato and big Doug Atkins along with Morris on the sidelines fair ball first and 28 at the 34 now beyou gets back to throw Rip's is past a Lincoln Johnny Morris number 47 and he is in for a gain of 26 yards in a determined second effort in one of the big plays in the first half fourth down and a yard to go for the Bears and they're going to go for it they give to number 40 Sayers and Baltimore's Fred Miller is there to bust up the play and the Colts have stomped the Bears on the bear bench Ditka and Bukit talk things over first and ten Baltimore at the 8-yard line here is Unitas handing to Lenny more and more sweeps out behind Alex and dusty and manages to hit for about two yards before Butkus puts an end to his effort on the draw the gift of Baltimore's Tony lark and watch Butkus just take the football right away from lauric and the Bears have recovered and again have stopped the Baltimore cold offensive you the Bears in action will the first and goal to go from the Baltimore 14 here is buek it's rolling out looking for a receiver he can't find one it likes to run with it is knocked down on the roll out after a gain of about a yard third and goal for the Bears of the Baltimore 17 beyou gets back to throw and the Baltimore Colt defensive line really pressures him and he loses the football that's up for grabs in Baltimore's Billy Ray Smith recovers and again but Colt defensive unit has turned back the bail [Applause] second down and ten for Baltimore at their own 25 the pitch out to Baltimore's number 33 Tony lura who turns the corner neatly and grinds out seven yards third down and three at the 32 and this may be one of the most costly plays in Baltimore's history Unitas is back to throw and tending for John Mackey got the pass off fine defensive work on the part of the bears breaks up the pass and back upfield Baltimore's Johnny Unitas is very slow getting up later in the afternoon everybody learned that Unitas had torn ligaments in the right knee was operated on in Baltimore Sunday night and maybe lost to the Baltimore Colts for the rest of the year certainly as we watch Unitas come to the sidelines it did not look to be quite that serious a hurt this is about the third time in Unitas career he has been hurt seriously but there is still the outside hope in Baltimore that Unitas could be ready if the Colts get to play January the second at the helm for the Baltimore Colts now is Gary Kwas Oh will the 1st and 10 at the 37 wazzle back to throw pressured by that ever-ready bear defensive unity rolls to the outside gets a little help from Lenny Moore and is able to slide down the right side for 10 yards in a Baltimore first down Baltimore first and 10 at the 48 they give till anymore and number 24 rams into that for a gain of six first and ten at the 46 wazzle back to throw looking for Jimmy or and he's got him and the poacher down into bear territory on a gain of 20 yards and appear to be rolling under the guidance of quaza first and 10 baltimore at the 26 and that bear defense is there again forcing a Baltimore fumble and legen of the Bears recovers and Chicago again proves that it's got one of the toughest defenses in the NFL this is a given talking over blocking assignments on the sidelines with Mike Pyle and other bears or down a 19 of the 29 as the Bears have been stopped by the cold defensive unit and this is one way to stop Baltimore's Alvin Haman Bobby Joe Greene who punted brilliantly for the Bears all day bangs us when up seemingly forever and Haman is able to bring it back about 14 yards this is not the end of the play however as this pressure ball game and it really is a great pressure gay erupts now in a little bit of a Freitas and the tempers were really flying but the officials as they did all afternoon got right into the middle of things and handled it beautifully but for a moment things were mighty mighty Warren Waldemar at work first and ten at their own twenty nine a minute and forty two remaining in the half IRA's quasi throwing downfield intending for Jimmy or and watched a beautiful defensive effort from McRae of the Bears on outstanding defensive play third and 15 from Baltimore at their own 24 and croisé go back to throw the blitzing bears force him to get rid of in the hurry and it's picked off by Chicago's Ritchie pedable and Lenny Moore the intended receiver makes the tackle so the Bears have another opportunity first and ten at the 32 the gift to Sayers number 40 and he goes to one of his favorite alleys getting outside and once he's out there he is some kind of a funnel to try and bring down I gained out 17 yards in a Chicago first down first and 10 at the 15 and here is a fumble by Buick and he recovers and this is the not the first time it happened as a matter of fact Rudy fumbled three of these handoffs this afternoon and you can see he's unhappy well the third and 13 at the 18 and 27 seconds left here is Buicks back to throw on target to Johnny Mara's another great catch by the bear flanker on the sideline head coach Don Shula and backfield coach Charlie winner talk over a rather depressing situation first and goal for the Bears of the Baltimore five you could swings it out to Sayers it is an incomplete forward pass [Applause] and with 14 seconds remaining in a second and goal LeClair swings the talented toe and the Bears move on top of the Colts by a score of 10 to nothing Leclaire kicking off in the closing seconds of the first half waiting down on the two yard line is Baltimore's Tony Lark along with Alvin Haman and finally Laura comes away with a football and he returns to the Baltimore 37 and then another little bit of a fracas precipitated by the diving block on the attempt of Bivens and Alex Hawkins and Bivens go at it rather heavily momentarily the officials handled this situation by excusing both Hawkins and Bivens for the rest of the day the cult band entertains at halftime third quarter action now Baltimore in possession second down to nine at the eighth and here is a fumble recovered by pazzo to give to Baltimore's Jerry Hill and a busted play works out very well as Hill strikes for twenty yards in the Baltimore first down [Applause] second down and ten Baltimore at their own 28 Lazo back to throw once more this time down on the sidelines he looks for in five Baltimore's John Mackey who fights for yardage and picks up a gain of 36 and a Baltimore first down [Applause] well the first intent of the bear 36 plazo back to throw and that hard charging bear defensive unit is all over him legged gets there first along with Atkins and deke V and dropping for a loss of seven well the fourth and 18 at the 44 Baltimore's Lou Michaels will attempt a 49 yard field goal in the air looked to be long enough but a little bit wide of them on so the Bears will take over out on their own 20 it is a second and 10 at that 20 on the give now to Gale Sayers and he is knocked down after a gain of about two third and eight at the 22 ears Buicks back to throw once more for the bears lets it go in a big hurry number 47 as Johnny Mars grabbing it over the middle and he races it out for a gain of 25 yards and refuses to be taken down first and 10 Chicago at the 47 the pitch out to Gale Sayers swinging around that left side he gets by Leonard Lyles and down the far sideline he goes after a gain of 13 first and ten at the Colt 40-yard line buek it's mixing his plays and receivers beautifully is back to throw this time the sideline passes caught by Jones and he goes out of bounds after a gain of 15 and another fair first down second and seven up to twenty two of the Bears are driving Duke its back to go once more a little swing pass to Ron bull and bull takes a deeper into coal territory with a pickup of nine yards and that's another Chicago first down but that rugged Colt defensive unit forces another field Gold effort and LeClair kicks one this time from the 13 to give the Bears a 13 to nothing lead over ball the ball and LeClair kicking off of the Bears once more waiting down near the goal line is number 33 Tony lauric plays it on the bounds and heads up this near side and is knocked down at the Colt 22 well the first and 10 at the 22 a little razzle-dazzle football right now the end around the number 88 John Mackey there's the handoff and here is Baltimore's tough running tight end moving it up field for a gain of South [Applause] second down and three for Baltimore at their twenty nine Wazza looking for a receiver this time fires to rain and Barry on the sidelines again a seven and a Baltimore first down first and ten at the 36 again Kwas Oh takes to the air this time looking for and finding Jimmy or who makes a nifty diving catch for a Baltimore first down third quarter ends on this play the gift of fullback Jerry Hill who smacked straight ahead for a gain of five and at the end of three quarters it's the Bears 13 Colts nothing in the fourth quarter with a third and 16 from Baltimore at the 48th plazo is back to throw looks downfield to find Jimmy or he is there or it takes it and goes in for what looks like a Baltimore cold touchdown but back upfield as they say has been dropped the Baltimore Colts guilty of tripping and it cost them 15 yards at this moment or figured he had a touchdown so now it's third and 38 at the Baltimore 30 plazo back to throw again and big Doug Atkins is there along with Stan Jones and they dropped pazzo for a loss of 10 with fourth and long yardage Baltimore's Tom Gilberg is punting downfield waiting for the punt is Chicago's gale saved and this ever dangerous sayers brings it back upfield and finally the Colts jump all over him knocking down somewhere around the midfield mark on the sidelines middle linebacker Dick Butkus and this is about the only time he is not around the football there's an action once more buchen chat quaterback has done a masterful job all afternoon this time misfire on the handle off the ball is loose and the Colts have recovered and the Colts will take over trailing the Bears by a score of 13 to nothing late in the ballgame and on the sidelines the Colts are not at all happy they still have a little time remaining however and from deep in their own territory quas ole tries to get him moving again this one is beautifully caught on a carom reception by John Mackay who fights for yardage and picks up a first down a gain of 23 with about a minute and 21 remaining in the ballgame plazo is still firing back to throw this time is looking for Jimmy Orr and Orr is on the receiving end and steps out of bounds after a gain of 18 and another first down fighting the clock on the Bears now with only 36 seconds remaining Kwanza was again back to throw once more fires on target to Jenny Orr and Orr is hit by buckets and the ball is loose falling out of the Chicago linebacker fortunado and he returns upfield to the 30-yard line and the Bears have done what they set out to do they came to Baltimore to beat the leaders in the Western Conference and they have done exactly that the final score as the clock ticks off is the Chicago Bears 13 the Baltimore Colts nothing and the oldest coach in the NFL is congratulated by one of the youngest after a brilliant Chicago win over the leaders in the Western Conference the Baltimore Colts so the Colts do lead the conference by a half a game and that sets the stage for the big one Sunday afternoon between the Colts and the Packers [Music] you
