1977 09-25-77 Atlanta Falcons at Washinton Redskins pt 1 of 3 w/o/c

cbs sports proudly presents the atlanta falcons versus the washington redskins and sonny you're still the one and only i got out here at ten at seven o'clock this morning to put that thing up i hope nobody takes it down hi everybody i'm vince scully and with me the legend of his time the one and only the unflappable christian adolf better known to the world is sonny jurgensen and not a bad little dancer you read it just like i said too all right now that we've done that let's go down on the field and see about the big boys well i'm looking forward to this one ben coming back home getting a chance to see washington play and as badly as they played last week i'm sure they're going to be ready to play today and they're going to have to be george allen who had never lost an opening game did so last week to the new york giants george allen has never lost to the atlanta falcons he was two and old with the rams he is 8-0 with washington and here is the young and vibrant atlanta falcon ball club that is fresh from upsetting the los angeles rams the officials gene bartholo referee joe cannella umpire with jerry bergman ralph vandenberg vern marshall and fritz grab another thing about coming home to play washington since george allen has been here then they're 35 and eight and that's quite a home record washington will be kicking off bias number 38 farmer standing all alone on the two-yard line and flanked on the far side as they set up a trio the atlanta falcons about ready to receive tom moriarty buy us up in front of farmers so washington smarting from that defeat of last week has mark mosley tee it up on the 35-yard line [Music] the mostly ready to kick off atlanta ready to receive and in a moment each team will be tested the youngsters from georgia and this veteran ball club from washington mark mosley kicking off it's high but not deep and it'll be carl farmer standing on a seven yard line to the 15 to the 20 gets crossed to 25 and staggers to about the 28 yard line he had big wilson favina along with fields leading a pack for him and it was fields blowing the last block to get him out there so now let's take a look at the atlanta backfield scout hunter replacing the engine steve bartkowski and what a great job he did last week haskell stand back and monroe healey are other running backs alfred jenkins wallace francis the wide receivers jim mitchell the tight end and right away francis is in a slot left inside jenkins with stan back the deep back behind ely second man through a haskell stand back and he gets to the 31-yard line washington's game plan today venice really try to force the atlanta falcons into throwing the football they want to control first down control the run make them have to put that thing up those are those veteran washington players who will test that very young atlanta line second and eight to go for atlanta on their own 31-yard line here comes monroe ely and he's to the 34-yard line so a pickup of three it'll make it third and five we saw atlanta last week in third down in long situations even up to third and 18 run the ball they don't want to be forced into making mistakes and taking chances with the football the third and five for atlanta the ball on the falcon 34-yard line jenkins left and francis wright mitchell a tight end on the right side monroe ely on a big hole fights for a first down gets across the 40 dragging dusik and along with him curtis to the 32-yard line you see it's just a trap on third down a good call on third down by the falcons the falcons from their red set this flick split back set in the past and last week throughout the game they threw the ball from outside today they ran on the first time well they pick up eight to have it first and ten the ball on the atlanta 42-yard line francis left and jenkins right haskell standback trying to get outside and kenny houston dumped him on the 40-yard line so they lose two good play by kenny coming across atlanta ran right to the strength of washington's defense i thought we might see george's quarter defense he did it against scott hunter back in 72 in a playoff game here when he was with green bay and he really controlled the run and made him put it up then and washington went on to win otter has a pretty low percentage rate career-wise of about 44 but he's not going to put it up unless he has to that's francis in motion to the left fate to stand back to monroe ely but he threw low and behind him and had he caught it brad dusak wanted to flatten him so it'll be third and 11. the ball on the atlanta 41 just the start of things he'll pull up a chair good play by dusek that time everybody out on the pass coverage they've been a little play action fake now they come up with third and 11 and this is what they try to avoid and they want to third and 11 on their own 41. jenkins left and francis right elian stanback split behind honey they're in their passing sets a charge and ely has to fall on the ball and a big rush by dennis johnson messed up everything this is just a little shovel pass quarterback running left watch him try to just flip that ball back inside there to ely but dennis johnson had good pressure on hunter and he didn't make the connection that's a playboy from the dallas cowboys i think johnny james standing on his own 25-yard line trying to root it out of there eddie brown on the washington 20-yard line and going back to help now is young murphy a rookie who'll stand on the 30s james hits it to the right side brown watches it hit and then go out of bounds and they will spot it on the 27 yard line first and 10 for washington by the way there's telecast presented by authority of the national football league intended for the private use of our audience any broadcasts or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the washington redskins and the national football league is prohibited a 32-yard punt no return and the skins put it in play first and ten the ball on their own 27. frank grant is wide left charlie taylor right gene few get the tight end on the left side thomas and riggins behind kilmer kilmer over the middle to frank grant is across the 40 to the 44 yard line passing on first down in the dressing room before the game billy said he wanted to throw on first down an awful lot today to try to defeat the blitz because they like to blitz in passing situations he's going to force him to do a lot more gambling by throwing on first down so kilmer stings them immediately as we look at that young offensive line kilmer on a play action fake to riggins flips to thomas who had it and dropped it mike thomas had a complete pass and couldn't hold on to it he was wide open too he could have done some running after he caught it lily's coming out winging it to begin with i think this is good for the offense to do this they've started very slowly throughout exhibition season and last week too they haven't put any points on the board in the first quarter they need to get untracked in the first quarter it is interesting to point out last week kilmer of his 13 completions eight of the 13 went to backs he's thrown twice once to grant and one stool back mike thomas unable to get around jeff merrow and merrell drills him at the 40-yard line jeff merrill makes a good play here kind of anticipating a blitz here trying to get around it mara comes here and makes a real good play that throwing on first down is out of respect for this atlanta defense so they lose two to make it third and twelve on the washington 42 yard line fugit is going to go wide right this time and then comes back the other way as grant goes in a slot inside taylor [Music] and they split the tight end [Applause] and whistles blowing and a flag on the play just as kilmer was starting to call those linebackers were coming up what'd you pick off sonny i think he picked up that motion penalty it looked like george stark set up a little too quickly before the snap of the ball his linebackers this is the where atlanta likes to come in blitz here and they got him in the long yardage situation they're going to be a little farther back now but the problem is here is picking up everybody it's a gamble but uh this is where they were successful last week offense false start you can see them start to move right stark move first riggins went kilmer trying to pick up what he had established when he completed that pass to frank grant however he's gone backwards he had first and 10 on the 44. now he has third and 17 on the washington 37. taylor is wide left and grant wright mike thomas trying to get outside he backed by ortega and brazina went over the top and rick bias on the bottom finally knocked him down at the 43-yard line good play for washington against the the blitz but they went into the 34 defense the falcons did then and didn't come with a blitz and washington did exactly what they wanted him to so on a fourth on 11 mike bragg is back to punt roland lawrence billy reichman and rick pious are back so all three waiting for the punt and it's angled to the right side reichman calling a fair catch i believe jerry williams hit him and let's see did they call a fair catch or not last week reichman called a fair catch and another receiver ran with it he has a tendency to hold that right hand up in the air i think he's just trying to catch it [Music] so a 34-yard punt no return no score in the early going atlanta and washington like i tell my friends i said see a five stone deal if you're having trouble all your ties ask a friend about firestone firestone firestone uh when you're driving on a firestone tire it's a good feeling you and i when we go to buy a tire i don't believe we're experts you need somebody to explain to you that's why i feel like i depend on firestone i don't feel that they've ever let me down firestone [Music] some people think all color tvs are pretty much the same i'm a tv service technician and i say bunk in a nationwide survey independent tv service technicians gave their opinion of color tvs they picked one brand more than any other for highest quality and for fewest repairs one brand zenith for the sixth straight year zenith says the quality goes in before the name goes on and you know what it really does first and ten for atlanta on their own 25-yard line it'll be their second chance with the leather they had to punt washington had it once completed a pass then they were stalled and had to punt back to atlanta so no score 10 17 to go in the first quarter scott hunter bringing his falcons out mitchell a tight end on the left side and this time it's jenkins in a slot and now he goes outside to make francis in the slot [Music] haskell standby and the redskins getting short of the 30-yard line to stand by trying to cut back couldn't do it good dude at that time uh mike curtis turned the play in uh stanback didn't have any place to go had to cut back into the pursuit they picked up three at second and seven the ball just over the atlanta 28 yard line how about that score cincinnati seven seattle nothing in the first yeah they have to be hungry having been upset last week by cleveland jenkins wide left and france's right [Music] and monroe ely running into a gang gets a couple the hard way and that's about all monroe healy on the injured reserve most of last year with a bad ankle he had played in canada though he was somewhat of an unknown quantity but he played well against the rams last week and he's doing a yeoman-like job again today well you're looking at that big offensive side of the their line look at that number 66 going up there warren brown what they got 15 shoes 16. france is left and jenkins right and monroe ely gets away from dennis johnson and mike curtis and finally goes spilling out of bounds short of the 40-yard line though that should be the first down for atlanta and it is he got away from johnson and curtis and made the first down johnson had a shot at him inside they had to arm tackle he broke the tackle and broke outside and picks up enough for the first down you know billy carter got a laugh at the touchdown club here once he said he had never seen a professional football game he had only seen the falcons play twice but there's nothing funny about this atlanta ball club now [Applause] francis inside jenkins first and 10 on the 39. francis in motion play action fake complete the jenkins at the 50 to the 40. and lavender pushed him out of bounds at the 29-yard line of washington first and 10 atlanta well you can tell he knows what to do with it boy look at this after he catches it jenkins catches it stops plants gets back outside of lavender good piece of running there running back away from the pursuit gets shoved out of bounds good play on the part of scott hunter and alfred jenkins that pass picked up 32 yards for atlanta they're on the move on the skins 29 yard line first and 10 8 16 to go in the first quarter no score jenkins right francis left monroe ely fighting to the 25-yard line mcdole at the bottom of the file this is what the atlanta falcons like to do good look what they do up front good control at the offensive line good line charge bryant comes off his man a little bit that doesn't allow the play to break a little farther but pretty good offensive surge here by that young offensive line of the falcons second and a long six for atlanta the ball on the washington 25 yard line stand back on a good play action fake and hunter is eaten up by dusak he had fumbled after the whistle a good fake to stand back but dusak wouldn't take it dusek made an excellent play then a little play action but nobody picks up you see ely trying to throw the block there misses the block this is something we saw last week then he just takes that thing down he's not going to put it up for grabs he doesn't want to make any mistakes here as he looses the handle on it and a big five yards as well to make it third and little more than 10 yards to go from the washington 30-yard line they're in their passing set [Music] monroe ely runs right into dyron talbert and down he goes calvert met him nose on at the 30-yard line that's twice they've gone to their passing set on third down i think trying to confuse washington a little bit by going they figured that they would throw from that set and twice today they've run from it on third down and that time washington was ready dyron calvert 11 years in the big league so he was waiting johnny james will hold now from nick mickelmeyer the ball will be spotted on the 37-yard line so it is a 47-yard attempted field goal there's a flag on the play and the kick is no good but now let's read the flag let's see what happens i think it's on washington they're gonna get another try it's gonna be holding i believe against atlanta let's see everybody's pointing in different directions oh they're refusing it it is on atlanta it is indeed and so washington will take over number 54 offensive holding decline the offensive holding as you heard going against the atlanta falcons the washington will put the ball in play first and ten on its own 30-yard line you remember atlanta had it first and 10 on the washington 29 so the redskins stiffened and held the field goal no good and with six and a half left in the first quarter no score [Music]

authorized ford dealers across america well under the heading they also serve who only stand and wait in civilian clothing you see steve bartkowski talking to scott hunter and kim mcquilkin is back up quarterback first and 10 skins on their own 30. kilmer play action fake to thomas throws to riggins tykendall brings him down at the 36-yard line of washington they pick up six that makes it second and four that's what fulton don't play this he's got to play run first then gets out into the coverage he's got the full back gives billy time enough to get the ball to riggins good pick up on first down again the first down pass kilmer now is two for three and 23 yards hunter is one for 339 yards and it's second and four from the 36. kilmer hesitating down he goes claude humphrey eats him up at the washington 30-yard line humphrey who had 18 sacks last year right on his game he had two last week too didn't he i think he did against uh joe willie namath he got in there a couple of times that's right the big guy out of tennessee state six five to 65 in his 11th year and coming back and talking to the washington team this week they asked me they knew we were down there last week and they said tell us about that atlanta team i said you'll be impressed where do you see the pictures well they're hungry now frank grant is in a slot inside charlie taylor to the left they split the backs riggins and thomas kilmer going to send it up and it's the gene fugit roland lawrence at him by the hip spins and brings him down with help from ray easterling just shy of the 40-yard line so they pick up nine but they're still a buck short if he had fallen backwards he picks up the first down billy looked a little disappointed that they didn't get the first down but uh because he had enough in the huddle on that play that's what you try to do you say look we need nine for the first down let's try to get it billy got eight fourth and one from the washington 39 and bragg will be kicking from his own 25-yard line coming over is rolling lawrence on his own 23. looking for a block and he got it from bias oh what a block by bias and lawrence is going to be knocked out by jerry williams there's a flag way back down the field back on the 33-yard line take a look at number 38 rich bias there wiped out two skins two good blocks there but i don't think that was a clip rolling lawrence up the sideline picks out another block here by billy reichman and keeps running but it's going to be all call back so a tough break against the atlanta falcons lawrence looking like he was going to start again deep in washington territory and let's go to the officials number 51 personal foul clipping on the run back first down see they they didn't call it on bias let's see what that's a block oops nope i don't think that was the block that was the last block by billy reichman first and ten on the atlanta 18 yard line hunter on a draw to ely who bumped into somebody but got out across the 20-yard line he bumped into dire and talbot who had his hands full with scott and thielmann and a flag holding against that young atlanta club which reminds us of the first few series last week certainly did i think this is on the other side of the line i would think it's either scott or uh or brent adams it looked like he called it on the left side number 70 offensive holding first and 20. yeah they called dave scott they threw it on that side of the line it's just who was on that side but uh last week we had and look at this man there's claude humphrey what a football player and 20 from the atlanta eight yard line monroe ely outside a block by stand back too many red shirts in the way harold mcclinton brad ducek mike curtis all there to hit him and the little man is back the secretary of defense pat fish is back and was in on that tackle say friends the cbs sports spectacular will feature the world's strongest men competition a barrel lift among everything else for the competitors a barrel with liquid and lead shot at weight increments beginning at 200 pounds then they'll be the cup the fifth running first 250 thousand dollars and the super bowl of motocross all coming up on the cbs sports spectacular second 20. here comes stan back and he's shy of the 15-yard line and again it was dusak among others over there number 59. what kind of liquid is that in those barrels i don't know about the barrel but you've lifted a keg or two yes baltimore seven the jets nothing in the first period cincinnati's a little mad about last week aren't they 14 to nothing now third and 14 for atlanta on their own 14-yard line france is wide left the tight end is on that side and jenkins wide right still alien stand back behind hunter stand back mike curtis got him from behind before he could get to the 20-yard line so washington stiffens and atlanta will have to put it out so atlanta worked its way down to the washington 25 and the skin stiffened now two penalties nullifying what might have been a good opening shot for atlanta on the punt return and now they're in trouble and we'll have to kick it out again we saw the conservative thinking of lehman bennett running the ball on third and long johnny james last year tied with tom blanchard of new orleans for the most punch for the year we'll try and kick it out look at the way he's standing then he looks like he's ready for anything to go anyway wrong count flag on the play nobody coming eddie brown trying to play center field on his own 35 yard line gets to the 40 down he goes bias had him again rick vice number 38 down there at the bottom good field position for the redskins have to wait and see what the penalty call is a little discussion there to see what's going on if we can pick up the call correction no penalty no penalty okay that's a 46-yard punt for johnny james and washington will put it in play on its own 44-yard line so with two minutes and 59 seconds to go in the first quarter atlanta nothing and washington nothing [Music] i mean it was really a good movie it was good wasn't it oh honey look some poor guy left his lights on larry is he going to be in trouble boy am i glad

busiest you know he has made 131 trades in his coaching career 81 of them with the washington redskins he's your business first and 10 from the washington 44 reagan thomas merrow almost encroachment completes the frank grant and he's brought down by brown across the 45-yard line and it'll be first in 10 for washington on the atlanta 44. a little row by billy a sprint out if you want to call it a sprint out with kilmer and he throws excellent pass here inside to grant who had just hooked up again the first down pass by the redskins well first and ten on the atlanta 43-yard line the redskins finally getting into atlanta territory grant and a slot left inside taylor [Music] and it's john riggins and claude humphrey has him and that's the end of the story you can see what the redskins have done then after watching what the inability of the rams last week to run against the falcons they just changed your mind around we see a little brain work going on they just change their mindset look instead of trying to run against that tough defense let's put it up on first down that'll be second and nine for washington and detroit snapping at hank stram's new orleans club second and nine on the 42 of atlanta [Applause] taylor wright grand left billy on a rollout throwing to taylor no good and roland lawrence came over and gave him a little lick to make sure and then it helps him up that's nice lynn hoss getting up mighty slow there len hawes by the way is playing in his 184th consecutive game for washington and the only way he's been able to keep that string alive he has undergone six operations you gotta love that game i told him about this big wilson femina it's on his nose i'll get back to it after this play he had a funny line about him third and nine from the atlanta 42 slide left with grant inside taylor and fugit off to the right kilner no good to feel good lawrence there defending puget thought that lawrence had interfered with him meanwhile kilmer flat on his back under a good rush and the guy who left him guess who claude humphrey but i was talking about at wilton femina the big rookie for the falcons the big samoan right yeah he's i asked him earlier in the week i said what are you going to do against him he says i'm going to learn how to say hi there big buddy in some more he's a big buddy all right mike bragg is going to try and hit it out of there no score with 133 to go in the first quarter and brad going for the sidelines it lands out at about the 20-yard line we'll see where they spot it right on the 20. so atlanta will put it in play first and ten on its own 20-yard line a 23-yard punt no score with 128 to go in the first quarter sir we all know mobil 1 is the oil that saves your gas give me another good reason to buy it well it lasts and

minnesota new orleans chicago san francisco los angeles tampa bay at dallas full schedule and then the second game of the doubleheader st louis versus washington the nfl on cbs next sunday first and 10 from the 20 for the atlanta falcons no score francis in motion stand back is buried by dave butts number 65 and butts is a guy you should take an extra look at right now mckinley coming in dave butts takes a 52 extra large extra long jersey he has a 19 neck 38 sleeve a 12 and a half 7 e shoe and a 48 waist how do you do that's about four of pat fisher's huh invite him over for breakfast lunch and dinner sometime second and 11 from the 19. hotter to jenkins and he's pushed out of bounds by pat fisher pat fisher has not hit a man all year sonny this is pretty tough for him isn't it what a competitor he hasn't he hasn't been in the any exhibition games he hasn't hit a man and i think that's about his second contact today he came up on a tackle earlier he had a pinched nerve in his back he didn't know whether he was going to come back what guts what determination that this young man has and he's a young man well he's young as far as i'm concerned yes among other things however he's played 212 games at the quarterback position the most by anybody in nfl history third and fourth from the 26th for atlanta kayaks and fake to stand back a pass to ely no good with lavender and mcclinton over there to defend somebody got a hand on it and deflected the ball so atlanta is stymied remember the punt went out on the 20-yard line so they were able to advance six yards eddie brown goes back in a single safety eddie was the second best in nfl history in punt returns last year 646 yards he returned nine short of the record washington's had the advantage uh field position wise in the first quarter mark murphy goes back to help out brown james kicks it over murphy's head and he takes it on the run to the 45 trips and down he goes at the 40-yard line first and 10 washington on the atlanta 40. he saved him about 20 yards with that running catch and if the ball if he doesn't get to it the ball could be on the 30 instead of the falcon 40. and it turns out to be a 30-yard punt and they'll spot the ball on the falcon 40-yard line first and 10 washington in what has turned out to be a battle of punts [Music] gilmer over the side to frank grant and he's to the 25 and inside first down washington ralph ortega brought him down this was an audible you see ray brown coming on the blitz and this is what washington does well the quick pass against the blitz not that long-range pass they get the ball to their receivers that defeats the blitz frank grant by the way has now caught two passes for 45 yards first and 10 on the atlanta 25 two seconds to go in the quarter and there's the gun so they throw goose eggs at each other in the first quarter but washington now starting to kick up some real estate here in d.c at the end of the first quarter atlanta washington no score [Music] when it's so cold a radiator can freeze solid and you're still rolling that's the mark of xerx when it's so hot a radiator can blow its top and you're still driving cool that's the mark of xerx when corrosion is eating holes in radiators and you're still going strong that's the mark of xerx start fresh now with year-round protection that's the mark of xerex are you

october 7th fairmont the newest better idea from ford a 15-yard pass from kilmer to frank grant has put washington in business at the start of the second quarter first and ten on the atlanta 25-yard line no score grant wide right taylor wide left and the backs remain thomas and reagan kilmer pitching to riggins trying to get around brazina and merrell finally knocks him out of bounds but it was brazina who slowed him down good play by greg good lateral movement by the falcon defense then washington hasn't had any success no success yet there he is warren bryant that big offensive tackle from kentucky he is indeed big we were giving you some vital stats on butts bryant is six six 270 has a 16 shoe [Applause] second and nine on the atlanta 24 kilmer same play with riggins leading the way flag on the play and riggins unable to clear everybody out as a very late hit and some words are said and mike thomas didn't like it one bit but the flag happened long before the late hit it looks like we're going to have a little holding on washington could have been tim stokes he may have been reaching a little bit it's hard to tell who was holding on that side of the line but the flag was thrown over in that direction can nullify good position here see if we can pick up the holding here look at tim stokes at the top of your screen here number 76 holding on here positioning himself now the man escapes him he goes down i think i'd have to call stokes on that one see if we see that now we just dissolved out of that late hit second and 17 on the 32 of atlanta taylor is left grand right thomas behind two blocks to the 15 almost before he is knocked down and it was rawling lawrence who had to come up and bring him down and he got some blocks to move certainly did just his handoff with the guard leading nugent out in front of him and you see thomas coming around good blocking on this play makes his little move here good pick up third and short charlie taylor gets a round of applause as he comes out it's third and one the ball on the atlanta 16 bob brunei is in there now grant goes on a wing fugit stays in tight and brunei is back there with reagan it's riggins towering into kykendall who hit him head-on at the 15-yard line couldn't all number 54 the first man to hit him very close although it would appear that the nose might be over looks like he can imagine the big cheer you heard as charlie taylor came off the field then was number 87 went in jerry smith who just rejoined the redskins they'll bring the change in to make sure so it's a big play washington finally getting down to where they have a chance the closest to a score atlanta tried a 47-yard field goal that missed and then they were penalized to boot they got it so it's first and ten for washington on the atlanta 15 yard line [Applause] cincinnati 21 seattle nothing kenny anderson on a five-yard run to give him their 21st point they're still in the first quarter in that game first and ten on the atlanta 15. the first serious chance for a score for either side kilmer looking for grant he's got him at the five yard line brown hit him and he might have fumbled a little bit mccartney was also in there with brazina atlanta feeling that he fumbled though we'll leave it up to the officials officials saying he was down and look at him let's see if we can pick it up you make the call a little roll out again first down path again by the redskins billy does that so well that little running left let's see right here he's already lost the ball he's on a knee second and one on the six yard line [Music] kill middle rigging runs by narrow but lewis slowed him up and then the rest of the team got him mike lewis number 69 was the man to first hit him and slow him down washington's electing to go outside today on this defense again you have to say that's respect trying to get outside the blitzing stunning defensive line get outside of that you don't have to worry about it well they spot the ball on the nine [Applause] third down and four on the atlanta nine yard line and a passing set let's see what happens here he's going back to throw kilner under a rush but he got two good blocks now a third good block going in the end zone and he overthrows frank grant he got two good blocks from lenny hawes and ron saul but he let it go too much what is he doing he was under pressure he rolls out someone like billy look at him he's been watching fran tarkington play he's going to come back and be a scrambler runs out he has time and makes a throw here but just a little strong you see grant in the back of the end zone he's a little mad with himself there he's got to be so now washington will send in mark mosley to try and kick a field goal they'll spot the ball on the 16-yard line a 26-yard field goal attempt is good and washington although somewhat disappointed gets on the scoreboard the 26-yard field goal and washington leading atlanta 3-0 12 to go in the second quarter [Music] okay linda here's gotta protect your family a woman sure a woman needs life insurance just as much as a man does and this new york life defense has just the insurance plan to do it put the blitz on linda's money problems lock out her retirement worries come on linda [Applause] announcing a unique new motor oil from exxon research that can actually save money new golden natural uniflow uniflow was tested in cars like yours after break-in it delivered an overall average of 16 extra miles per tank full savings like that could cut your gasoline bill the equivalent of about three cents a gallon new uniflow motor oil is exxon's best engine protection ever it conserves gasoline saves money carl farmer is standing all alone on the atlanta one-yard line the speedster perhaps the fastest man on the atlanta ball club farmer waiting for mark mosley to tee it up and kick it to him up in front of farmer on his left moriarty into his right bias then he has esposito and fields and yates on the 20-yard line forming a wedge it goes to the right side and there is farmer on his four to the 15 20 hit and knocked down on a fine comeback play and it was dallas hickman who came back number 82 and hickman as a note was a roommate of all people of steve bartkowski in college hey don't forget the cbs sports spectacular next week the world's strongest men competition plus the cup and the super bowl of motocross saturday 4 30 p.m eastern time where that motocross stuff is that unbelievable what they go through i can't miss it [Music] first and ten for atlanta on their own 23-yard line francis in a slot inside jenkins left and now francis in motion he's picked up by pat fisher [Applause] johnson putting the heat on but the pass to ely complete for a first down and mike curtis knocks him out of bounds at the 36-yard line of atlanta first in 10 for the falcons the baltimore coats have taken a 14 nothing lead over the jets in the first don mccauley on a 2-yard run 9 58 left in the half kilmer is six for 10 for 69 yards hunter 3 for 6 58 yards and scott now trying to move his falcons washington leading 3-0 11 47 to go in the second quarter and the officials calling a time out for the woman huddling back on the washington 40 yard line so time out i guess the key so far sonny in the ball game was that gutsy punt return of eddie brown was it saved him about 30 yards and they took the ball in atlanta territory instead of back on their own 30 shorten the drive up and uh you know when you get the ball you have to take advantage of scoring opportunities i'm sure they're disappointed not coming away with a touchdown but three nothing against this defense isn't bad well atlanta was down 6-0 to the rams last week and came back we'll see what they do this time first and ten in their own 35-yard line jenkins left and francis wright here comes monroe ely and he got across to 35 to about the 38-yard line down on the field kenny houston on the 45-yard line kenny is shaken up and there's a flag on the play [Music] kenny houston an 11 year veteran out of prairie view he holds three nfl records nine lifetime touchdown interceptions two touchdown interceptions in one game four touchdown interceptions in one season he's got 41 career interceptions and what all that means is washington can ill never delusion personal foul they caught the big rookie warren bryant on a personal foul and kenny houston still down at the 45 yard line so timeout eddie brown has come on in once houston leaves but for washington that would be a sizable hole in the defense day in and day out kenny houston does his job as well as anyone in football playing that strong safety coming up and playing the run and also playing the pass difficult to throw at i tell you because he practices the same way and throwing against him in practice you have to work to get open you have to work to beat him kenny has been at this business professionally for 11 years he's 33 years old and he took quite a lick there but is slowly getting out and evidently okay thank goodness [Applause] kenny houston will come out receiving the plaudits of the crowd eddie brown will go in at strong safety for him and because of the penalty against warren bryant it's first and 22 for atlanta and the ball is inside the atlanta 25 they spotted on the atlanta 23. so scott hunter who has passed for 69 yards and doesn't particularly like the pull-up in the air will have to come up with a miracle now they kind of allowed you to sleep a little bit they run that thing so often on first down that little play action that they ran there early kind of loads you to sleep and it they find the man open well we'll see what scott hunter does now first and 22. [Music] it's haskell stand back with bryant blocking but there are too many red shirts warren bryant the big kid was out in front of him but he was just overwhelmed and kenny houston is back in the ball game so he just came out for one play he must have got his bell rung a little bit they spot the ball on the 27 yard line second and 18. on the atlanta 27. francis inside jenkins in a slot right now castle stand back behind scott's block but mike curtis got him from behind after mckinley tried to block curtis out of the play mike just slid off the block kept coming and got him and i guess that's your double effort that george allen always talks about well that's right what'd he tell you in the dressing room he wanted his people wild today he wanted wild men out here playing this thing the saints in the lions are tied up now seven apiece in the second period chuck munsey from a 31-yard touchdown run the third and 17 the ball on the atlanta 28-yard line and this is where hunter has to come up with a big play [Music] under a rush from talbert and brundage he unloads to jenkins who came back to get it and jenkins gets back across the 40 but not enough he had gotten up to about the 45 yard line and had to come back to take the pass this is really not a out pass but the pressure gets in here he sees some opening out there and he just hunter likes to roll out see deucek coming at him jenkins is up by the first down marker but coming back to catch it it's a long way to get back up there and you see all the people he draws a crowd in a hurry so johnny james will be punting and eddie brown standing all alone on his 22-yard line for washington john gets good protection and roots it out of there eddie brown taking it on his 12-yard line and he got to the 20. he gained about an eight-yard return and that's all [Music] so washington three atlanta nothing 9 23 to go in the second quarter [Music] sit tight pop i'll pump myself let me tell you something gang any gas will get you where you want to go but it ought to be in there cleaning your carburetor too now you want to make sure you're getting the job done use new stp gas treatment you just pump in a can with every tank

television better and better 60 minutes takes you on a stakeout as government agents move in on the mob tonight at 7 6 central and mountain time a 48-yard punt by johnny james an eight-yard return by eddie brown and washington puts the ball in play first and ten on its own 20-yard line washington leading atlanta three to nothing thanks to a 26-yard field goal by mark mosley we have 9 23 to go in the second quarter frank grant who has really been the offense on the other end of the kilmer passes wide right charlie taylor left mike thomas on a quick buster gets out to the 25-yard line brzezina at the bottom and easterling on the top on the last lineup defensively you saw what the passing has done to the atlanta defense on first down ray brown the strong safety backed off and went back into pass coverage he's usually on the line of scrimmage playing run and billy thorne first down backed him up a little bit picked up five show the ball on the washington 25 yard line second and five billy giving to mike thomas and thomas out to the 30-yard line and he should have a first down brought down by mike lewis and john riggins was out there helping with the block this is what the fans haven't seen and that's mike thomas playing and being a hundred percent this looks like the mike thomas they're used to seeing breaks soon with his quickness gets up and gets good blocking at the point of attack almost broke it for a long one so they picked up six it's first in town on the washington 31 yard line rant and a slot ride inside taylor play action fake to riggins a flip to thomas and holding him by the ankles and bringing him down is frank reed at about the 38 yard line that would be a pickup of seven cincinnati 28 seattle nothing they got their last seven on a 54-yard interception return by reggie williams that's giving seattle the needle hey but billy's ratio has run to pass on first down it's really got to be something he's eating them up now second and two on the 39-yard line of washington three to nothing skins second quarter here comes riggins with thomas blocking but brazina got him around the shoulders and the rest of the team came over to help out kilmer is seven for 11 77 yards and the bulk of those yards have been passes to frank grant four for 54 yards here he comes in number 87 jerry smith coming in for charlie taylor on the short yardage situation calvin hill also coming in for some blocking now third and two the ball just shy of the washington 40 yard line so hill and riggins with grant on the wing on the right side just outside jerry smith play action fake to riggins kilmer a little loud to jerry smith and smith hit at the 45-yard line push back flag i think a personal foul against atlanta and washington off to the races watch this he's making the block you see smith down on the ground that's that's being a professional getting up catching the little dunk by billy his first catch and these people love it you see him throwing an elbow there at ray brown coming up they get penalized for it boy do they all the way to the atlanta 40 yard line personal foul number 34 defense first down ray brown who came up and threw that extra lick at jerry smith is penalized for it and so washington has it first in 10 on the atlanta 40-yard line washington leading three-nothing jerry smith lighting a fire but more touchdowns than any tight end in nfl career i'll tell you if you had somebody to go to on third down you'd have to look for jerry smith first and 10 on the atlanta 40. thomas and riggins the setback grant wide left taylor right mike thomas tripped up by mike lewis but keeps on going mike lewis had been hit by tim stokes as scott hunter takes a pause that refreshes and looks on but lewis who had been knocked down by stokes was able to reach up and grab his man anyway a lot of second effort down there another score in the second period new orleans 14 seven a blocked punt gets the saints their score breaks that tie washington on the move they started first and ten on their own 20-yard line they now have it second and seven on the atlanta 37. grant wright and taylor left kilmer setting up to go down to taylor [Applause] charlie taylor on the 25 yard line had his hands on it and couldn't hold it and of course for charlie he is the national football league all-time past receiver he caught 635 going into this game so it's kind of historic to see him drop one he caught a few of yours sonny yes he did that's the kind that charlie's had some trouble with and i think all receivers do not just charlie taylor why it's because they don't have to worry about catching it the ball was right there and it's just a lack of concentration third and six now on the 37. kilmer down the middle and overshoots gene feudit and fugit was being double-teamed right at the six and a half yard line of atlanta a fine punt the 29-yard spot punt by mike bragg and washington leading 3-0 [Music] hey mom oh hi stop sitting around mom let's take a ride at my new ford pickup all right let me drive hope i can handle it this is the one that's built tough with ford's exclusive twin i-beam suspension and a new four-speed overdrive option and extensive rust fighting materials on under body parts what do you think mom you may think i'm off my rocker this board is tough of all four trucks registered over the
