1977 Week 3 Eagles at Detroit

hi everybody I'm Bob Costas along with Nick Buoniconti and Nick the assignment for Dick Vermeil Eagles bounce back and forget about last week's 20 nothing defeat at Los Angeles well an anemic 112 yards for the Eagle offense last week Ron Jaworski having an awful day but Dick Vermeil feels that he has a leadership ability to turn Eagles offense around this target will be Howard Harold Carmichael who has receptions in 68 consecutive games he's the man that George Kuh will go to in tough situations and a middle linebacker 66 Bill Bergey he doesn't tackle people he destroys them the lion running backs will pay for yardage today he'll have his sights set on Greg Landry who leads the NFC right now in passing stats through the first two weeks and also his talented pair of running backs Dexter bossy 24 and Horace King 25 they ranked two and three in the NFC in total rushing offense and bussy coming into this third week is only one yard behind Walter Payton of the Chicago Bears who is the overall leader the Lions are one-on-one as we mentioned everybody in the NFC Central is one in one so Detroit has to figure that they have a chance to the throne the Minnesota Vikings they have games coming up two of them this year with Minnesota and they'll be looking forward to that but right now Nick we're approaching the kickoff and it looks like the Lions are going to be kicking to the Eagles to get this one underway you know a little contrast because the Lions although they're leading in offense in the National Football League Landry has been set ten times in the last two games so it's very interesting to see whether the Eagles can put the same type of rush today well I had a 50/50 chance of being right and I was wrong the Lions are going to receive so we're going to see horse mule none of the egos kicking off and this may be the biggest workout of the day from yulman because he happens to be what with the troubles that the Lions rather the Eagles have had on offense he is the only regular kicker in the NFL who has not attempted a field goal to this point in the season Rick Cain number 32 we'll be back deep for the Lions and yeomen will kick-off there is Cain in the middle he is flanked by andy bolton 43 and leonard thompson 39 and we're underway at the Silverdome keen at the three little trouble finding the handle but he's turned this one into a good return out of bounds across the 30 near the 35 in the backfield for Detroit Landry bus a and King we told you about that JD Hill is out with an injury he's not in uniform today ray Jarvis replaces him at a wide receiver and the Lions go with two tight ends David Hill and a veteran Charlie Sanders there is their veteran offensive line perhaps the best number 76 rocky Freitas a 32 yard return to the 35 yard line by the [Music] I'll see in King and then Sanders in motion king with his first character good yardage out to the 42 a pickup of seven before he was stopped but a strong safety Randy Logan number 41 the Eagles use a three for Manny Sistrunk obtained from the Redskins along with Charlie Johnson and Carl Hairston upfront birdies the big man in their linebacker for Tom Ahlers is starting for the first time at one outside spot outlaw Edwards Logan and Erik Johnson in the secondary second down and three [Applause] confused Landsman rolling right stop for a loss of one well Horace King can't find a spot in a backfill and he goes the wrong way Atlanta has to tuck to fall underneath and follow his blockers especially good this is one thing that the coaches don't want Tommy Hudspeth can't stand to see this because this is where you get your quarterback injured I'm busted plays like that Landry has had problems with knee injuries in the past and he is playing with a brace on his left leg right now he once was one of the finest running quarterbacks in the NFL he is less inclined to tuck it in and go nowadays third down play he gets the call on the first down out near midfield before being stopped by Randy Logan once again with an assist from John Sanders number 26 we'll take another look at it good blocking by the offensive line Bollinger coming out making a good block on on Ahlers and look at Berkley being cut off beautifully by Markovic giving Kate a big hole I think I can ran that one Bob for some yards beautiful rowdy Forest King getting a chance to show what he can do in the absence of Lawrence Gaines their regular fullback who underwent knee surgery in July they expect him back in a couple of weeks from their own 49 landry again the king and this time not too much Charlie Johnson stepped in to hit him first Johnson is a rookie from Colorado number 7 draft choice a 25 year old rookie he spent four years in military service and he is starting in place of art Tom's you know it's Vince Poly being a 31 year old second-year man from Johnson a 25 year old rookie Sutter strange Brown Kapali last year back up wide receiver and special teams player for the Eagles was the oldest rookie in NFL history at the age of 30 King getting plenty of work early only about two this time going to bring up third down and seven dextra bussy with a big week against the saints the last Sunday a hundred and fifty yards and he came into this game only a yard behind Walter Payton for the NFC rushing lead Bob lumbermen who is their young good pass rushers coming into the ballgame refacing Manny's sister on so let's take a look at him he's number 67 so he can get a rush on they like to bring him in an obvious passing situation such as this one Landry will put it in the air for the first time today if he can find somebody and the Eagles put on too much pressure and Down Goes Landry that's been a problem both last year and this for the Lions Landry sacked 67 times last year and ten times already this season well it's a veteran offensive line and he usually don't mistake make mistakes like this but Johnson comes free John Morris the center fails to pick them up and it's really an easy sacra Johnson on Landry but they've had problems the last two ballgames and as good a as good as they look offensively they look bad another problem area for the Lions has been they're coming summers he is the second kicker they have used during the regular season they let Mitch hoops go after one game low snap from mark Markovic but summers manages to get it away Larry Marshall number 22 fielding it at the 18 and bringing it out to about the 26 before being stopped a 45-yard punt by summers check it 37 yard punt by Wilber summers this telecast is presented by authority of the NFL and is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Detroit Lions and the NFL is prohibited [Music] first and Sam for Ron Jaworski what LP they couldn't get anything [Music] whiskey Nesbitt intercepted five times before more than any other quarterback with the exception of Fran Tarkenton who has also been picked out five times Doug English made the stop on Mike Hogan who carried on the first down play Tom Sullivan Mike Hogan and Ron Jaworski the quarterback big Harold Carmichael Charles Smith and the youngster Keith creflo is trying to fill the shoes of Charlie young are the receivers and there's the offensive line Jerry Sizemore is a man they say is greatly underrated he's moved to guard from tackle the past couple of years [Music] Hogan again despite missing about six games last year Hogan led the Eagles with 561 yards rushing running against the defensive line of Ken Sanders herb Orvis Doug English and Ernest price who is starting in place of the injured Jim Mitchell new mop Laz Levesque and Ed O'Neill in place of the injured Charlie Weaver the linebacker corps and Amanda watch in the secondary number 21 rookie Walt Williams second round draft pick from New Mexico State the others are veterans Dick Vermeil did say Bob that he would use the I information cuz he felt last week Tehran's working on his formations third and one [Music] Jaworski going to keep for it and it will be closed [Music] cuz Lauren look at look at Moses on the sidelines that's yard well he won't be playing today because he has an injured ankle in her twig will playing his five offensive lineman for the Lions Jaworski got the first down at the 37 keeping the Eagle Drive alive play-action fake and Joyce key with a little flip he's got silky Sullivan who was forced out of bounds short of midfield he was pushed out by Levi Johnston the free safety number 23 this is a good fake he just as a play-action pass faking a Hogan trying to suck in the linebackers which they do and he just kind of lost a wide-open pass to Tommy Sullivan Sullivan wide open right back it was caught up inside good tackle knock him out of bounds that was a good pattern by Sullivan and this is what that George is gonna have to do is attempt to mix the run in the past on first down to keep the Lions defense on us again almost exactly 10 yards another first down from the eagle 47 Carmichael another 17 [Music] first man through is Hogan three maybe four yards out near midfield before Orbison Sanders combined to bring him down his dick from Neil wearing the yellow shirt along the sidelines and as you can see the Eagles have had a very difficult time she correct myself here Vermeil with his arms folded in the white shirt Roman Gabriel be find him backup quarterback who is of course assisting him as they get the word from the coaches upstairs and Mike Hogan breaks tackles has the first down moves inside the 40 to about the 37 yard line of Detroit Hogan had eight carries for five yards last week against the Rams totally different offensive look right now because they gone to the I information and tossing it back all back to Hogan trying to get his offensive tackle Eddie George out in front of him which he did there's a well-executed play 12-yard pick up Peruvian second-year man from Tennessee Chattanooga played his college ball under the former New York giant great Joe Morrison a quick drop and flipped by Jaworski Carmichael trying to make a one-hand catch but couldn't hold on Williams is going to be called perhaps for a face mask he reached for the head area of Carmichael and you've really got to reach up high to get him around a head you need a ladder to get up by Carmichael's head all of this is an out pattern meeting Carmichael goes out towards the sidelines it's not fast interference it's use of the hands up around the head which is a personal foul and will be a 15-yard penalty against the Detroit Lions and this really hurts him puts him back deep in her own territory Cal Lepore is the referee and will listen to him as he gives us the official call ball has moved down to about the 23 yard line personal foul unnecessary roughness 21 so the rookie Walt Williams perhaps a bit overzealous in pursuit of Harold Carmichael here it is again this is a la lynn swann an åkesson shot up around ahead Carmichael takes it very graciously and of course they're watching that sort of thing more closely than ever this year in the NFL properly the tight end in motion on the play Sullivan the second man through is tripped up Ken Sanders made the initial hit number 82 he's a six-year man from Howard Payne who weighed only 214 pounds as a rookie six years back but his beefed-up to 250 and become a regular along they're often the rather defensive line the Eagles last in the NFL in rushing stats the Lions first second down nine with seven minutes and 10 seconds to play in the first quarter at the Silverdome we have no score but the Eagles are threatening holding kinda why [Applause] Doug English and the Eagles turn it over English helped to his feet holding the ball on high and the Lions they gained possession no score was 656 to play in the first quarter [Music] [Applause] we have assemble here a most congenial group brought together by the love for a truly great beer right group right it's late beer from Miller right group I think the best thing about it is it's less filling there's a third less calories in your regular beer right group the best thing about it it tastes great no honey it's less filling take it from me it tastes great who are you you don't think this fight is no joke when you come to on your nose it no wonder you don't get no respect very strongly both what's a nice guy like you doing in a fight like this waiting for you Dom I still don't know why they wanted me to do this commercial light beer from Miller everything you always wanted in a beer unless Bob Costas with Nick Buoniconti back at the Silverdome in Pontiac Michigan toss back the Hogan now watch Hogan he looks like he's trying to lateral the football or throw a pass they might have had the halfback pass on English take over the football saw the Eagle Drive is tiny Dan Lyons with Landry Andy my soul not across the corner he'll have it first down Dexter bussy who came into this afternoon's game with 195 yards rushing through the first two detroit games it's Hill and Sanders the two tight ends and Bollinger who makes a good block here along with King spring and lucky for the big yard this is what they did last weekend a week before the running game has been going good because Sanders and he'll get it started the two tight ends it's been a good offense so far for the Lions neither busted nor King is an especially good blocking by but when you put the two big trucks Hill and Sanders out there and they act as a convoy it can make for a potent running game Landry calls on King he gets out near the 45 a dove maybe three well hello there a silver dome beauty don't have to worry about wind and the elements messing up the hairdo bill Bergey made the stop he had 234 tackles last year in all time Philadelphia record at 12 tackles last week against the Rams [Music] earlier Lanford the leading passer statistically with a rating of 95 point one to the first two weeks King again there's a penalty marker down he splits through to about the 48 yard line John Sanders who is starting in place of Eric Johnson at a free safety spot for the Eagles made the initial hit Johnson sustained a concussion last week against the Rams and it is doubtful and we will see him at all today waiting for the indication here but it appears to be against Detroit Galip or we'll step it off and let's listen motion sixty-eight offense it is second down mark Markovic one of the offensive lineman for the Lions was in motion on the play it'll be second down the down over and now 12 yards to go the ball is on the lion 46 oh nine showing on the first quarter clock Bob they've been running at head O'Neil 55 bus he trying to go left cutting back in some nice moves a gain of about four out near the 44 yard line mr. more scenery picked up by our director Jim sillman third down situation here with a double tight end I wouldn't be surprised to see them put Charlie Sanders in motion trying to get the strong state but to go over there with him and then probably go back to one of the backs Luther blue number 89 rookie from Iowa State number four traffic is in the lineup now in this passing situation for the Lions that's blue and lands me to throw under the gun and for the second time in the first quarter he is sacked and the lion fans as you can hear did not appreciate it Carl Hairston number 78 made the tackle bringing Landry down that is the 12th time this year in a little more than two games that Landry has been sacked and once again Wilbur summers is in to punt coming into this game the Lions had a net punting average of less than 23 yards per kick when you count returns blocked kicks touch backs and the Mike summers kicked 437 the first time this one is high and Marshall elects to call for a fair catch at the 22 yard line and that's where Philadelphia will take over after a 41-yard punt by Wilbur summers we have no score at the Silverdome with four minutes and 54 seconds to play in the first quarter there's a flag down on the play and we may be doing this over Alif or with a busy first quarter Bob mark Markovitz the guard who moves over to Center on punts and snaps has had problems on his snap to the punter he's rolled it back three or four times this year ineligible player downfield 50 sat on offense it is for it down those are the things you'd like to eliminate in pre-season you hate to see them during the regular season because it really fouls up consistency of the club Garth can a poll number 57 of the Lions got down there a bit too quickly and the Eagles figure they can do a bit better - so they make summers kick again and Marshall will fair catch again almost dropped it but manages to hang on at the 28th so they gained about six yards in that exchange and now with the clock rating 446 after a 39-yard kick by Wilbur summers it'll be Philadelphia born [Music] your future is coming the new ford fairmont the new car design for today and the years ahead Fairmont's mileage ratings are the same as a little VW Rabbit when both are equipped with automatic transmission yet Fairmont has 90% of the head leg and shoulder room of most large cars and fine all-around visibility this kind of room is combined with the highest mileage rating in its class test

in Philadelphia and Tommy Hudspeth on the right side he took over sano departed Mike Hogan carrying the ball and Doug English who recovered the fumble to stop the previous threat by the Eagles made the tackle on that play couple of double header games on tap here on CBS st. Louis at Washington a big Eastern Division battle in the NFC and out on the west coast San Francisco at Los Angeles check your local listings for the game in your area now we remind you that some cities will see only a single game due to the NFL blackout policy no gain on the play for holding second down and ten Angela whiskey is brought down by a combination of Ken Sanders number 82 and Charlie West number 40 who came up from his strong safety spot well it's definitely a safety blitz and Jaworski is trying to sprint out to get aboard the rush but no one picked up Charlie West because Tommy Sullivan went in motion he was the man who should have picked up West and he didn't and those two Connor Baxter safeties they love to have sacks Bob because it doesn't happen too often brings up third down and 16 Lyonne front for accredited with six sacks last week in a win over water [Applause] they can pretty much let loose and come charging in on this play he has time though [Applause] by Johnson Johnson with the interception and he may go [Applause] Levi Jenson will pick one off last week against the Saints adds another he intercepted sex last year and Joe Escalade this one right in his arms food protection by the offensive line of the ego's torski just simply overthrows Carmichael beautiful centerfield play by Levi Johnson and one thing he likes to do is run with the football he has good speed good moves a good return and our marbles new yard return if Rocco is open just over through hard to overthrow Carmichael but he did that time 326 to five first quarter and the Lions with their first scoring play first and ten from the 314 [Applause] six nothing Detroit as they immediately capitalized on the break following the interception by Johnson let's look at it again there go you have Hill and Sanders making a big pot Bollinger turning the corner making sure everything helps inside all of us he does is run to the open spot end zone it's a touchdown the blocking for the Lions has been superb [Applause] [Music] Steve McComb Iyer obtained before the season from San Francisco indicate and gary Danielson backup quarterback will hold but wait a second my old teammate John Morris number 63 were teammates at Boston just went to the turf let's listen to Calliphora game approachment 65 on the defense this panel will be enforced on the kickoff Charlie Johnson jumped across and it won't change the position for this kid but it will allow the Lions to kick off from the 40 instead of the 35 following the point athlete shall we do it all over again Danielson holding Mickey Meyer kicking 7 nothing Detroit once again the strong ground game has been the story for the Lions bussy pre carries the 30-yard King 5 for 21 with 320 to play in the first quarter 7 Philadelphia another Mikkel Meyer kicking 222 Larry Marshall and 31 Wilbert Montgomery 7 nothing Detroit after the scoring run 5x2 bussing nickel my picking from the 40 drives at about five yards deep in the end zone and Montgomery elects to bring it out [Applause] they're going to say that the play was whistled dead before it came loose everybody's scrambling but it's philadelphia ball on about the 20 play a whistle dead before Montgomery coughed it up here's bussy scoring run again touchdown run watch Charlie Sanders squat beautiful block calling Carver's King making a good plot I'm John outlaw screamin buffeted all he has to do again this fall appalling sure into the end zone Charlie Sanders gives him that he meant blocked it from that wing back position something that you normally don't get from the wide receiver and extra buses [Music] gets the Lions on the scoreboard early lion fans a bit upset that Montgomery's return should be Lyon ball again that it's Tom Sullivan carrying and he is belted down by Ed O'Neill right side linebacker number 55 the Jets and New England in the first period 14-7 New York New England coming off that tough overtime loss against Cleveland on Monday night Richard Todd must be really engineering to jet offense he had a bad first two games but he's coming on strong we have Pittsburgh seven nothing over Cleveland another Cleveland coming off on Monday night games about 20 1976 yards hostile in Swan the fish scoring that go Sullivan trying to get outside and moving across the 30 looks like he has a first down lay by Johnson and Jim Laz Levesque the middle linebacker combined to stop it two of the three linebackers out on the field right now for Detroit graduates of Penn State Lazlo Vicki Antonio and how Joe Paterno can turn out those linebackers an interesting note though Bob is last living as the middle linebacker only had one tackle last week against the Rams he's a five-year veteran he succeeded Mike Lucci four years ago [Music] first down from the 31 some studies suffered in first quarter quick drop by Georgia intended for Charles Smith number 85 Williams was there on the coverage second down and 10 Bob had that pass been thrown on the money Levi Johnson would not be standing in the end zone for an interception because he read that play beautifully and came over from his strong safety position let's watch that coverage there it is now what you're gonna see his Smith come up over the middle when a ball is thrown behind will you Levi Johnson that falls on the money he goes into the end zone he's already intercepted one and that set up the lion touchdown the Weisse cuticle once again and this time is got Carmichael Lydon Audubon's by Walt Williams that's good for first down yardage out around the 45 yard line and we look at that again just a deep sideline pattern Carmichael going down about 15 yards and George keep waiting for him to make the breaking just lays it out of money now he has receptions in 69 consecutive games moving on a mark of Tommy McDonald all-time evil record held by Tommy McDonald past perceptions in 80 consecutive games a gain of 15 for the first down mom Sullivan not much silky Sullivan running into a solid wall there after a gain of maybe two Ernest price and Kim Sanders combining to bring him down duck English is the best defensive lineman on the Detroit squad if anybody's gonna get a pass rush number 78 will probably be calling on Hogan and on Neil spinning Hogan down O'Neal getting a chance to start because Charlie Weaver pulled a hamstring muscle last week in the victory over New Orleans O'Neill thus far stepping in and doing well third down six from almost exactly midfield when Barney just went in to make it a nickel defense meeting five defensive backs now for Detroit rake Claiborne returned a New York kickoff a hundred yards for the time touchdown 1414 the Patriots and the Jets they're still in the first quarter passing situation for Gorsky with time and he's got his man and Sullivan slips a tackle and moves to about the 36 yard line of Detroit before Lombardi who is making his first appearance on this series combined with Walt Williams to bring him down Barney a great defensive back no longer a regular for the Lions but in there on this series Sullivan most versatile just goes down about 7 yards hooks up last Levesque had the coverage missed it and Sullivan gets the first down it's difficult coverage for the middle linebacker having to take a speedy back like Sullivan one on Barney came in in that fashion situation as an extra defensive back with Ed O'Neill outside linebacker going on that was the seventh Philadelphia first down so have nothing else they're moving the ball much better and they did a week ago two whiskey's going to keep it in the air and the completion to Charley Smith and he paid for that catch James hunter came up and nailed him hunters second-year man from Grambling who led the Lions with seven interceptions as a rookie in 1976 love that nine three speed on the corner those guys can go get it a cup of five and that was probably the last play of the first quarter two seconds one and out although they'll switch sides and we can tell you now that Jaworski is off to a pretty good start he's completed four of six for 44 yards but of course one was intercepted and that cost him the touchdown [Music] when life's grind gets to you an exciting way to get to where you are to where you want to be with four on the floor and rack and pinion steering the 78 Ford Mustang 2 T roof convertible so FIFA crime Mustang a better idea from Ford homeward bound coast of New England [Music] [Music] [Applause] the Navy see your guru or call toll-free it's not just a job it's an adventure as we get set to begin the second quarter at the Silverdome its second down and five for the Eagles after the completion to worship you to Smith to the wall at the Lion 31 I'm Michael number 17 wide to the life sniff 85 wide right second man through Tom Sullivan going nowhere Charlie West number 40 on the curve the farthest 82 there to bring him down now there's Dick Vermeil he's talking to his coach in the yellow shirt that's Bill Davis look him give the signals he's sending to play in two Jaworski last week there was some controversy that the Rams overheard jaws key in the huddle so they trying to eliminate that brings up third down three Vermeil himself was wearing the yellow shirt the first couple of weights for the Eagles flashing the signs himself now he's delegated that assignment to Bill Davis the horse team looking for the first time and it's broken up by Levi Johnson who got his hand in front of food-prep live inside end [Applause] greg landry getting set to come back in let's see if they call on a horse mule minore Spike Jonze here that was good pressure by our herb Orvis right up the middle which forced torski to get rid of the ball a lot sooner than he wanted to if they tried a field goal and they are it'll be a 47 yard attempt Spike Jones will hold he's there [Music] put it down at the 37 and some confusion and Jones wisely calls for a timeout this will be Moomins first field goal attempt of a 1977 season Bob the confusion being number 84 heath prep we forgot to come on the field the Eagles lined up with only 10 men and as they wing back they love to come around that corner there was just no man here they're blocking so it was a good move by calling a timeout I think they saved the block field goal this is well within humans range he has kicked them from as long as 53 yards nine-year veteran native of West Germany I think carefully we'll hear about that one Cleveland has tied Pittsburgh on a 22 yard pass from Brian Sipe to Dave Logan with only 22 seconds remaining in the first quarter Danka crop added the point after touchdown they're tied at 7 here is blue [Applause] let's see if we can pick up who got in there whoever it was was hurt on the play might have been Leonard Thompson Thompson are reserved wide receiver and the ball may have hit him right in the face neck as he came through and blocked Newman's 47-yard field goal attempt how about correctly came into the ball game them do look like it did much in the way of blocking Leonard Thompson as he whips around the corner look at that right up in there they hit him right in the face as you said Bob a glancing blow I don't think he's hurt seriously because they do wear a face mask but he is down Thompson whooping around that corner in a big hurry Nick you ever get your face in the way of a kick you blocked a few field goals yeah I never was that quick or never was that tall but I did block field goals with my hands you'd be surprised how much time is spent on his special teams just going through the field goal attempt the field goal block they do it every day but a Thompson being helped to his feet apparently it got him around the right eye but he's all right we'll be right back [Music] should have bought mobile Ronnie you are let's say yes you know about mobile one girl we change it every 15,000 miles mobile one the oil that does it all take it from an expert this fall take a few minutes between halves and build up your lawn with some Scotts Turf Builder right now is the best time of year to get a thicker blue grass lawn by growing more grass blast turf blower will make any active one the difference alone at last beloved beloved where's my bride Mercedes with the new Ford Granada one way to tell it from Cadillac for Mercedes is its sticker priced when America needs a better idea Ford puts it on wheels lion ball with 14 minutes to play in the second quarter there at their own 30 yard line a couple of Eagle drives have been stopped one by a fumble another by a blocked field goal and briefly in the hands of Ray Jarvis but broken up by John outlaw number 20 as he knocked the ball free John law Ally just a veteran defensive back just a quick out pattern by Jarvis and a beautiful throw by Landry right out of money but look away outlaw strip some of the football that's that good veteran experience that comes in handy he's a nine-year man from Jackson State formerly with the Detroit rather with the England Baker's Detroit Lions as you can see he scored the touchdown earlier trying to come back against the grain manages to get it out around a 35 it's gonna be third down and about five they Laberge he made the tackle Charlie Johnson helped him out Dave Hill a little upset that he missed the block on the outside linebacker Ahlers so fussy hadn't cut back to the middle we're Berkey wrapped him up now I think what they've done Bob is they've taken busty out of the backfield and they'll have Luther blue and Ray Jarvis as the wide receivers two tight end standards and he'll in the backfield long with Kenya Detroit one of three on third down conversions so far and if Phil can get across the 40 they'll be two of four and that's what it is finally shoved out of bounds number 95 John bumping him over there but it was John outlaw who actually made the contact which finally caused Hill to go out but not before he got the first down a new wrinkle added by the Detroit Lions this week is to have the two receivers and the two tight ends on the field along with only one running back and here you see it now now he'll just wasting the linebackers to drop back and goes three yards down across slant and Landry delivers in the football and just the footrace to the outside for the first down nothing fancy Hill a productive receiver as a rookie a year ago caught only 19 passes but five of them one for touchdown so he put what they turned in a big play that's the bus he bottled up going nowhere Mounties Systrom credited with the tackle Eagles got him from Washington a year ago in exchange for Joe lavender Giants and Atlanta waging a defensive struggle so far they have finished the first quarter no score loss of one on that last play second down about eleven yards to go you can call it a long time mister away with [Applause] and that hasn't improved the situation much as John bunting brought down dextra busty weather running the same play both ways toward Justin and away from us again trying to use the blocking of the two tight ends and King but it's not successful the last two plays my injury is going to have to loosen up the Lions a little bit throw the ball a little on first down little play-action pass because I think Jarvis could be wide open all day long on a play-action pass third down on about Sam from midfield 11:42 play in the second quarter he's scrambling out of a pocket Burgie is after him and Fergie manages to chase him out of bounds and the Lions are going to have to punt well one thing that can be said for sure the Lions have enjoyed better punting success today than at any time during the preseason or regular season in 1977 the one thing that is consistent all year long is that the opposition to the Lions are getting a good pass rush on every key third down situation the offensive line has not improved over the last two games the hands in the first two games at two punts blocked a snap on a punt go through the end zone for a safety and another one returned for a touchdown so every time they get one away they breathe a sigh of relief good snap from marketing's back to summers plenty of time there's a penalty marker down and summers really got his foot into this one it drives Marshall back to the five more penalty mark as martial dances his way out to the 15 a 47-yard dick by wilbur summers raining flags everywhere the lioness grimace to downfield so it has to be clipping downfield which it is that was a very bad decision by Marshall because there's a 10-year Ted ten yard line rule in the NFL which says you don't catch the football inside the ten a big mistake tallip or will untangle all the flags for us and give us an explanation of how it all comes out we know for sure the Lions will kick again in Al's bones down bail 57 offense please offset its poured down that is the second time the Garth to Napal number 57 on the lion special-teams has gotten downfield too quickly on a punch they may loosen up his pocketbook or a little fine if he continues he got a look at Marshall number 22 and Sommers as the 47 yard kick again he's got it try it again another high kick this one not quite as long and Marshall has learned his lesson he lets it bounce but it may not get to the end zone it works out perfectly for the Lions as they bound it inside the five so Marshall heeded your advice Nick but it didn't turn out as well and Garth to napal atone for his earlier mistake by downing the ball at the four and summers did two yards better this time a 49 yard kick and the Eagles have their backs to the wall America you can change coming going changing growing the things that make up life why is BankAmericard for coming visa to keep up with you [Music]

Grand Prix from Watkins Glen New York Niki Lauda the man to be there Bill's super foot Wallace [Music] [Applause] then part two of the World's Strongest Man competition this week a steel bar I guess quite kids is the favorite in that one Hogan three maybe four yards Wilbur summers who's a happy wounded summers waving to the fan say don't worry I'll do it all day long it was a good decision by Hudspeth I belong on the ballclub [Applause] [Music] [Applause] second down sex [Applause] - about the 10 it'll be third and four last Levesque the middle linebacker may at the stop what about this world Strongest Man inspector Lauren your bare hands I don't know I saw Mike Lucci who was an executive with Vic Tanny and I asked him if he was gonna enter the competition but he says now he's gonna defer and let it to the young guys can I bend the steel bar yeah if it's made of aluminum they did some crazy things and I competition pulling cars along roads with ropes carrying refrigerators on their bikes all getting hernias the Eagles two of four on third down conversions they need four yards here and they won't get it Hogan's tried to squirm forward after he hit the deck and it will depend upon where they market but I don't think he has the first down Hogan would have easily made it on this drop play good blocking by the Eagle offensive line but he stumbles little tries to go a little forth on his hands it's close for a first down but just a tad short so the sight Eagles gonna have to punt a football and this will be the first time that they have punted today they've lost the ball a few times on a fumble interception had a field goal block but Spike Jones who has punted 16 times already this season and then his first opportunity for this afternoon while Alysha set up the lions in real good field position because they should receive the football somewhere along the 15 with any type of blocking should get to the 40 the Falcons have scored early in the second quarter Munro eating with a one-yard run leading the giant 7-nothing dictor on number 26 defensive back five year veteran from Yale waiting for the kick which Jones gets off from about his own five Geron at the 42 keeps his footing across midfield and to about the 47 or 48 yard line of the Eagles a 46 yard kick by Spike Jonze and once again good field position for the Lions 919 to play in the second quarter Detroit Lakes Philadelphia said another your car will always need new parts but you will never need to buy another battery once you own the JCPenney bet it never needs water ever and it has more power to start your car than any other car battery so dependable it's fully warranted for as long as you own your car if it ever failed returning will replace it free only a JCPenney Auto standard or catalog debt it's the last battery your car will ever need you know why zenith develop color century well Jeff see my face and looked too red other times it's all washed out that's why Zenith colour century think of it as a TV control room in your set it controls the color picture correct the color picture automatically 30 times a second and that makes a difference after all I don't play for the Cincinnati faves see the difference color century makes only from Zenith Sunday Rhoda's mother Nancy Walker returns I know Sunday at 8:00 7:00 central from the 47 yard line of Philadelphia the Lions have it first and 10 I look at the last play Geron might have called for a fair catch but decided not to Kapali being down here but a good block by Rick Kane gives your on a little Running Room gets it down to the 48 thanks Pro fatty almost a legend already in Philadelphia subject of a big story in Sports Illustrated district fans here in Detroit don't like it as Bill Bergey spins Dexter bussy down a few seconds after the whistle but still just trying to follow through what's so unusual about a birdie tackle he does it most of the times anyway so Burgie delivering a body slam and get Dexter bussing we're talking about poop alley he didn't get Geron on that last play but more often than not he'll be the first man down there on punt coverage for the Eagles that's what you call a hungry player else you got three bringing up second down and seven take the bus II flip - Jarvis he has good speed if they continue they do jitterbug his way to about the 32 yard line that'll be a lion first down this is a screen pass to Jarvis he just takes one step back my injury threw her in a football I watched the block by her twig he makes a beautiful block Nakada corner back down and Jarvis just spins and fights for the first down but hurt we're getting out there in front of the the ball carrier making it possible for Jarvis the completion good for 12 yards Cleveland has gone in front of Pittsburgh with 10:50 to play in the second quarter a three yard run by CL Miller sort of bouncing once trail set of nothing now lead 14-7 second man out of the backfield extra bussy or virtually nothing Tom mailers number 59 made the stop Bob this is a very important series for the Eagles defensively if the Lions jump out ahead 14 to nothing the way the Eagles offense has been operating which has not been too successful it's going to be a hard uphill battle for them to get back into the ball game Landry massage has attempted only three passes so far he's also been sacked three times bussy once again but the ego defense was waiting for him now that's what the NFL is all about little entertainment a little fun a little enjoyment the kids are certainly enjoying the Lions performers today they're burning up they're watching themselves on television a beautiful day for the family third down and nine from the 31 yard line all right we have the double receiver now number 32 in again Rick Cain we're a jarvis wives of Westside Sanders in motion outside needs nine yards way shorter back so they elect to keep the ball on the ground on third down at nine and some of the boo birds here at the Silverdome let the Lions and Tommy Hudspeth know how they feel about that decision well I can almost agree with them because I feel a play selection during that series was going back to the 30s three yards and a cloud of dust but my injury certainly has good receivers out there and he might might as well use a metric there therefore gary Danielson in the hole Mikko Meyer will attempt the field goal he is three of four so far this year they spotted at about the 37 so it will be a 47-yard attempt nikka Meyer gets it away it has got the distance but it is wide to the left so the ball goes over to the Eagles the clock shows 549 and there you see a disappointed gary Danielson walking away as Mickey Meyer missed it and the score remains Lion seven equals nothing [Music] less than a minute after Cleveland had taken a 14-7 lead Terry Bradshaw drills a 66 yard pass to Frank Lewis to tie that game Steelers 14 Browns 14 AFC sexual battles confusion in the backfield Kogan finally got the handoff and salvaged something out of the play before Paul Numa stopped it Home Office played 117 consecutive games for the Lions now the handoff here is really messed up to work he looks like he spins and starts going the wrong way now Hogan has to make the adjustment bucket head and fumble the football I think if Hogan can get the football on some clean handoffs and get just a little blocking golf punch the man kid run with it they're having cover just make an exchange show us key stat so far today [Music] and up to five minutes to play in the first half Levi Johnston cuts him down at about the 44 yard line now they keep block here is number 35 Mike Hogan watch him level a quarterback Sullivan makes a nice move to the outside heads-up field but Levi Johnson making a shirt tackle O'Sullivan to 15 but it's a first in ten he goes in there driving they spot the ball at the 45 him 12 by Sullivan James better soon making his first appearance of the game took the handoff he wears number 34 nicknamed boom-boom better s'en Eagles signed him as a free agent played his college ball at North Carolina for LA time we seen him today on a rookie low ball and the 34 coming into a game this close [Music] les petits eight guards on second down [Music] better suited Sullivan out of the eye and a handoff to the tight end keep roughly as a penalty Micra sails through the air unusual play for did for Neal's Eagles all new mouths leading them back the other way as they'll paste this one off against the Eagles Lyons about excellent success here at the Silverdome dating back to 1975 they are ten and five overall here gallop or will give us the call holy [Applause] Edie George was guilty of holding on that play second at 18 now for torski and the Eagles is brought in a rookie Tom Jenkins as a line inside linebacker [Applause] that is Tintin Sullivan the running backs joy ski straight back to throw under the gun manages to get it out the better soon and better s'en running well pulls out across the 50 to about the 49 yard line of Detroit and it will be third down and maybe five yards to go well-executed screen because O'Neil is coming on the Blitz Georgi holds it to the last minute venison makes a good reception he has a little blocking gulf-front and now starts to lower his shoulder to get the extra yards fighting driving good effort by better Singh it has to give the rookie some confidence third and about five checking his backfield the Lions like the Blitz alive maybe hurt better son off the draw will have the first down and the rookie rambles down the sidelines before being cut down by Paul Newman so better s'en has been impressive coming in on the Searles a good call by to work everybody's looking for the pass and George D goes for the draw and better sit is a tough runner with good moves and he gets to the outside he can accelerate new Moss saves the touchdown for the Lions a 17 yard gain for medicine inside three minutes all of the 31 of Detroit Jaworski looking and now throw it and over everybody Charles Smith was his intended receiver Charlie homeboy Smith got that nickname they say because he played football all day long as kid and finally his mother would have to stick her head out the window about 6 o'clock every night and yo homeboy homeboy come on home fighting at home by 6 o'clock I had the broom the face you align back around the Sandlot sir a running back I was a guard already fun the worst he is five of nine inside one intercepted second effect big chunk roughly and peppery is there for the touchdown 31 yard touchdown pass from Jaworski to CREP Lee the Eagles went 72 yards in seven plays and we'll take another look at the scoring play alright there's double coverage on both outside receivers and the rookie Tommy bacon has the coverage which he misses and carefully goes straight down the middle easy pass for George Kuh had good protection for the touchdown and correctly at 6-3 and 225 ran right over Levi Johnson who met him at the 3 but roughly was not to be denied horse fumin can tie the game up with 243 to play out of Spike Jones this game is even at 7 feet [Music] [Applause] next Sunday's CBS fours presents a regional doubleheader with Philadelphia taking on the Giants and Detroit going against Minnesota followed by the original doubleheader games with Dallas at st. Louis a big battle in the NFC East Atlanta tangles with San Francisco and Washington goes against the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay once again we advise you to consult your local listings for the games and times in your area and some cities will only see a single game due to the NFL blackout policy the NFL doubleheader next week on CBS where you seek roughly takes an inside release go straight down a field beats taken under can't get over to help Johnson can't stop from going into the end zone 63 235 pounds posed as way in and ties the ballgame for the Eagles a big big play for torski because after last week's performance Bobby just has to get back into the groove and it's good to see it happening Rick Cain the number three draft choice from San Jose State as the deep man standing at the goal line number 32 awaiting the kick from horse Newman low line drive type boot and the Bolton got a hand on it couldn't find the handle and team came over to pick it up there's a penalty marker on the play as Cain got out to about the 29 yard line don't know whether she's pleased or concerned hard to read the emotion in that expression there's no guesswork in this call it's gonna be 15 yards for clipping so it says the Lions back again backs to the wall and if the Eagles can tighten on defense here and stop them without a first down they figure to get the ball in good field goal position with time to run a few plays and maybe give me woman a chance to put them in front before intermission this would be a good spot for Landry backed up really on the Lantry backed up on his 12 yard line be nice to see him go over to play-action pass and throw the bomb because he has not done it all day long New England has now gone in front of the Jets on a 44 yard field goal by John Smith 540 to play in the first half in that game in 1714 Patriots over the Jets played handoff to King Horace King banging his way out to around the 20 yard line gained about seven on the play well Greg must have thought that the Eagles were looking for the past because he where with the draw play clock is moving there's Keith gruffly who scored the touchdown which tied the game [Music] 2:03 second down and three and bussy does not have the first down Charlie Johnson number 65 the rookie from Colorado made the initial stop bill Bergey came over to help them out clock is stopped now with 158 remaining two minute warning time the game is tied at seven apiece a third down and about three when we come back or the Lions when you walk through the lobby of a NAPA store you only get a hint of what Napa really has to offer as much more because if we put just one part from every kind of vehicle that Napa has to offer in this lobby he wouldn't have room to walk so we put them in this Napa shopping guide instead walk through the lobby of your local Napa store today and pick up your free copy your Napa store is a great auto supply store but they've got more much more that's n APA we help keep America moving let me tell you I've eaten the dust of mania rule you and I build up some kind of a thirst that's why I drink Light beer from milk it has a third less calories than their regular ears and it tastes real good I'd says giddyup to all that flavor and water being filled up and that ain't no book like beer from Miller everything you always wanted in a beer unless Wilber's summers assessing the situation from the sidelines if the Lions don't get this first down who will be called upon the punt you don't think he's praying her down play I intend about two fussing he's got the first down you see the clock moving with about a minute and 45 seconds now to play in the first half Bill Bergey made the stop Lynn Dickies stepped back into his own endzone and fired a pass to Steve Odom that covered 95 yards for a touchdown about a minute and a half into the Packers game with Minnesota at Minnesota Green Bay leads at 7 and open Jaworski to the air King the runningback makes the reception and stops the clock by going out of bounds with a minute 20 for you so far today bus he has 11 carries 45 yards a good effort now that backfield is not a big backfield King 510 205 pounds in bussy Oh 195 but yet they really run with some power they are quick they are good receivers coming out of the back now that was only the fourth pass attempted by Landry he's completed three of them for 33 yards this will be his fifth attempt once again he hits his running back Horace King good for a first down and we'll take another look out all this does is grant Landry's looking for him all away two linebackers clear out and he gets the Baltimore Lions wasting no time trying to get within field goal range at least exactly a minute to play in the half Landry a deep drop into Philadelphia territory at about the 41 out of bounds to stop the clock and there you see the time 53 seconds three straight completions two running backs if you want to know why Landry is successful look at a blocking of the offensive line all day to throw can pick out his receiver finds bussy all alone all he did is go towards the sideline it's a big first down for the Lions and they are driving with 53 seconds left in the first half that offensive all of Bollinger John Morris Markovic and rocky Freitas giving in time they try to cross him up with a draw to King and the Lions call a timeout as soon as King has brought down so that's like only five seconds and King got the ball to about the 35 yard line Bob you know a lot of people ask how come with two minutes left in the first half or two minutes remaining in the game the offense all of a sudden comes to life and is able to drive the team down the field well I think it's a combination of a couple things one is they work on a two-minute drill and they know exactly what they have to do in those two minutes they can get the yardage for a first down and to find the opening stick and contain to retain possession the second thing is defensively they always change they never play the same type of the defense they either go to five defensive backs or a three-man mine and they do things that they haven't done the entire ballgame so those two things coupled together nice the offense move the football better [Music] so Greg Landry now has 48 seconds to work with it needs about 35 yards for the touchdown another 10 yards but certainly quick nikka Myer well within field goal range Dick Vermeil facing the sidelines working on that gum on a Philadelphia bench all coaches in the NFL work hard they work long hours but Vermeil maybe the biggest workhorse of all he works 20-hour days has a bed in his office often watched his films till about 3:00 in the morning catches a quick 3 or 4 I can work in six or seven [Applause] Horace King brought down and brought down hard by Charlie Johnson and he's smacking after King grabbed the little flip from Lanza Chicago leads the st. 7-nothing at Soldier Field a 33 yard pass from Bob a Bellini to Walter Payton nine minutes remaining in the first quarter in that game good play selection by Landry it's a screen he's able to deliver the king who makes a nice move now watch the blocking up front Lions making good clocks markavitch out there first down big first down for the Lions keeps the drive going with 39 seconds left but more impressive is language play selection unlike before where he landed football three times he's mixing it up well he's utilizing his timeouts how much do you think the absence of JD Hill out with a hamstring injury perhaps their top wide receiver how much do you think that is influenced Landry to go to his running backs frequently in this first half well first of all the running backs can catch the football and he has to throw into him all year but JD Hills absence is felt in a running game because he is an excellent blocker as a wide receiver Jarvis will get in your way but he really won't hit anybody this guy started at the lion 13 now his first intent from the Philadelphia 30 [Applause] firing on again game is it in strips out of bounds the clock stops with 33 seconds to go and the Lions are putting on a clinic on how to run a two-minute drill the Blitz is on and the Eagles are coming both pierogies come in and on the end good throw by Landry here right on the money King just steps out of bounds again keeps the drive going but Landry off-balance made a beautiful throw a gain of 7 on Kings fourth reception of the afternoon checking down three from the 23 [Music] and they go with the draw play they've got the first down the Lions have only one timeout remaining and they're not going to use it here they're going to try and line up and get a play off an incomplete pass would stop the clock and Landry purposely fires it out of bounds nice catch by fellow on the sidelines she look worried she looks worried she looks kind of content Landry here will have a probably two plays in 11 seconds that he can caucus he has one timeout left so even if he throws the ball and is caught in bounds he can stop the clock with a timeout so we could expect two more offensive plays before they go to the field goal Charlie Sanders has come in great better inside and extra bussy is out and Lanza with 11 seconds once it all [Applause] Charlie Sanders with yet another big play that has justified his career the all-time leading lion receiver he broke Gail Cobb Gil's record last week and we'll look at it again Charlie Sanders working on John outlaw at quarterback my injury pumps the other way and goes to Sanders who beat all Locke clear in the end zone for a touchdown here's a wide-angle view of it now watch Sanders as he puts it out booth comes back to the middle great delivery by landry under pressure reception and a touchdown box there's a flag on the play and all goes for not new Moff is talking to the official a big penalty against Alliance a big break for the Eagles six seconds left in the game the penalties against Hartwig and that will hurt him and now Mickey Meyer will come in with six seconds to go to attempt the field goal Danielson will hold at the 35 it is a 45 yard attempt nikka Meyer gets it away and it is good [Applause] he did not have much to spare on that it barely made it over the bar as time expires in the first half with the score the Lions 10 and Philadelphia 7 so a bit of a disappointment but the Sanders touchdown was negated but Minka Meyers salvages three points out of the late drive for the miners Alliance offense has been pumped today Bob he scores only 10 to 7 but they've been running real well that backs have been blocking for each other Sanderson he'll have been blocking for the back but another important characteristic of the offenses they're going to the running backs as receivers more so than they are going to Sanders or to Hill or even the Jarvis the Eagles on the other hand have been sporadic they've looked good they look bad they've had one good Drive George ski drove them down a few for that one score but they have not really been that impressive offensively so the Lions have scored on a 14 yard run by Dexter bussy following an interception in 32 yard returned by Levi Johnson and the 45-yard field goal on the last play of the half by Steve nikka Maia the eagle touchdown a 31-yard connection from Ron Jaworski to keep roughly and there's your halftime score [Applause] sure after we plow through the paperwork it's different with Allstate what's different we have the world's largest team of claim specialists don't worry about a thing they settle most claims like this without estimates no problem Allstate specialists are interested in you not paperwork I'll call the contractor today oh that was easy when it takes being different you know coming up this Saturday on the CBS Sports spectacular CBS will bring you the Grand Prix from Watkins Glen New York and for a preview on that exciting auto racing event let's go to Ken Squier [Music] the anniversary of one of the premier races in the world the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen New York I'm Ken Squier and throughout the afternoon we'll be updating you on the activity of this world championship race in which car number 11 driven by Niki Lauda is expected to assume the world titles still another time Lauda is about to climb into this famous Ferrari car one of his last rides for Ferrari he changes to another team next year and with this race once again the world champions Lauda will not be racing so hard for first place as for the world title today but for others here in the rain the story is going to be a race for first place Mario Andretti will be seeking his fifth Grand Prix victory the season for Team Lotus meanwhile James Hunt is on the pole his car the McLaren establishing a new record breaking loud his old record in qualifying and it will be James Hunt against the field Mario Andretti is stashed back in fourth place and between him and Hunt are the two Alfa Romeo automobiles they'll be driven by one of the best drivers in the rain and that's expected this afternoon Hans torque and also by very fine John Watson moving out of the way here as Niki Lauda moves out to take a practice lap before we settle down to this world championship race the weather is cold it is raining and that will definitely be a factor whether they go with rain tires over the slick tires on this 3.4 asphalt course that's a consideration that the team managers will have to make and they'll have to make it shortly the temperature has been dropping in the past two hours temperature not as much of a concern on this very undulating course as the water at turn number two the water if it sucks rain hard is a river recall a year ago in Japan niki lauda retired from the event and watched the World Championship to James Sun he said he very well could pull out today no one likes to run in the wet but if there is a driver that can do it well in the wet it is West Germany's hand stuck and for the United States of America Mario Andretti from the Silverdome in Pontiac Michigan Bob Costas back along with Nick Buoniconti and with the Lions leading by three at halftime we've got the makings of an exciting second half that's right it should be a real exciting happen Vermeil make some adjustments the NFL today on CBS will return after this word from your local station Archie Bunker pursues his dream to buy Kelsie's bar and a 1 our season premiere of all in the family tonight on CBS the Mayans in front of the Eagles by three on the last play field goal by Steve McComb Eyre now we're gonna take a look at that field goal it just barely made it over the bar and we'll have a chance to watch it again to get it up there in just a minute here it is Danielson holding and make them IR from the 35 making it a 45 yard at 10 watch the ball it just nudges over the bar to make it good look like it he need his Wheaties this morning yes not just over sales in I think it's wasted for a great place right for the make it good your impressions of that first step well again the defense of the Philadelphia Eagles has not been which would expect he pretty much has been neutralized because they have been running on that if there's any strength in the Eagles it is their defensive love secondary and their linebackers the perky hasn't a fairly huccha life I am impressed with Hogan and I am impressed with Tommy Sullivan I feel if they're gonna come out the second half that they have to get the ball more to Tommy Sullivan because he can catch the football coming out of the backfield he has good moves he has real good speed and Hogan's a real tough punter so it's really a combination of I think better place election by Jaworski and getting it to the runners just a little bit better one of the interesting matchups is Carmichael the big guy at six eight being covered by the rookie Walt Williams and so far Williams has got a pretty good job staying with Carmichael for the one time Carmichael is open to worst you had a lot of time overthrew him and resulted in Levi Johnston interception so I think Carmichael is there to worst he just has to get him the football last week Williams drew Harold Jackson much smaller receiver but also a good one in Los Angeles how'd he shut him off pretty well let's take a look at some other scores right now around the NFL Green Bay is playing at Minnesota and they are even up at 7 and 7 in the first period don't know how Minnesota got the tying touchdown but Green Bay had jumped in front on a 95 yard pass from Lynn Dickey to Steve Odom Chicago leading New Orleans on a pass play from Bob a Bellini to sweetness Walter Payton in the first period 7-zip States can't get on track they're all into right now and Chicago is ahead of him and Stram really has to get it together and I looked so promising during the preseason a lot of people thought the Saints would be the most improved team in the NFL this year well they had their thunder and lightning in the backfield and but yet they're not doing anything and they have a healthy Archie Manning but yet they can't put any points on the board they can't win a game the Bears lead there the Lions lead here how do you view the race in the NFC Central every year they say this is the year the Vikings can be taken everybody's wanted one so far I'm saying it's about time the black and blue the vision is finally black and blue everybody's the contender the Lions are as good as the Bears and affairs as good as the Vikings and I guess the only we you have at home to dismiss Tampa Bay but it's something that's good for football to see that black and blue the vision right on top and this game is very important to the Alliance because of this score the Minnesota score right now they lead it by three over the Eagles at halftime 10 to 7 and right now in Sami Hudspeth is in the locker room with the Lions talking it over and Dick Vermeil was the kind of coach who will make drastic adjustments during halftime is speaking with his Eagles and we'll see what comes out of it when we begin the third quarter shortly but right now we're going to go back to CBS control in New York will join Brent Musburger Phyllis George and her cross [Music] the update all the scores right now the New York Giants an Atlanta many of you watching that game the Falcons ahead tough defense this year Philadelphia Detroit the rest of you watching that contest ten seven at the half the Lions ahead New England in the New York Jets very entertaining football game 1714 Patriots ahead Pittsburgh and Cleveland how about those amazing Browns this year tied at 14 at the half Minnesota and Green Bay Packers struck first 95 yard touchdown pass now they're tied at 7 New Orleans in Chicago the Saints have just scored they have just kicked the extra point tied in Chicago 7 all Dallas and Tampa Bay a Henderson interception for the Cowboys makes it 10 Oh Buffalo and Baltimore what's wrong with the Colts offense scoreless now in the first quarter Irv let's get started with those highlights and let's pick up now on Detroit ok Detroit to fill out the Eagles of course out of Pontiac stadium the Lions were leaving that game by a score of 10 to 7 and press defense has been the name of the game all day but Ron Jaworski here get started for the egos third and 16 on his own 23 yard line he goes up in the air but the defense takes charge Levi Johnston number 23 a fix to fall off at midfield runs the ball back 32 yards down there to fill it up your port team setting up with Dexter fuzzy touchdown here it is right here handoff 14 yards off his right tackle bust he goes in his right leaves 7 nothing total up he tries to come back and they do right here a second and 10 the price 31 yard line you're worth you goes it Presley 31 you're a touchdown pass all tied 7-7 right later came back with a field goal and lead at halftime 10 7 Giants an Atlanta ERV and again we stressed the importance of a kicking game in professional football how many contests is that turn around the Falcons got on the board because of this neat return coming up here by Lawrence last week for the Giants it was Hammond to busting one against the Dallas Cowboys bad ankle tackle right there and Lawrence gets down to the Giants 34 yard line Scott hunter then in the second quarter kept it and he ran for the Falcons 34 to the one-inch line we're doing a good job filling in for Bartkowski this year now it'll be Ely who will score the touchdown on the extra point made it seven Oh Goldstein under pressure for the Giants here comes Louis out after him is it that Falcon defense that has improved this team this year Goldstein's Pass going to be batted down here by the guy they call kept them crazy Kuykendall those things passed this time intercepted by Ray Brown and so at the half it is 700 Atlanta over the Giants Green Bay Minnesota let me show you that 95 yard touchdown pass as it was thrown by Lynn Dickey to Steve Odom and it put them ahead Minnesota was then able to snap back after that but it's a key play because the Vikings have had some problems this year here it is Dickey now to Odom who is loose 95 yards and then after the extra point it was 7 to nothing the Packers ahead of the bikes but the Vikings rallied and it was Fran Tarkenton who brought them back 17-yard touchdown pass Sammy white after the extra point it was 7-7 the NFL today will continue on CBS [Music] the Lions and the Evo's back on the field at the Silverdome in Pontiac there you see the score the Lions up by three Bob Costas along with Nick Quan Akane and we're just about set to get the second half underway [Music] I always wanted to play for the Philadelphia Eagles after college I kept working out flying through the streets of Philadelphia then finally I made it as a 30 year old rookie for me Vince Papale II it was a dream come true another dream came true in Philadelphia here in 1776 at Independence Hall the liberty bell rang it out and Betsy Ross sewed a flag for it dreams are still coming true as Philadelphia rebuilds the riverfront and center city area these people are dream makers there are United Way volunteers neighbors fans and teammates working for the metal yo and the YMCA and many other agencies funded by our United Way Philadelphia wouldn't be the same without them superstar Steve Mecca Meyer will kick it off for the Detroit Lions to start the third quarter with Larry Marshall 22 in Wilbert Montgomery 31 waiting back near the goal line for the Eagles Marshall level one Marshall Nicole fumbles the football as he's hit but it goes out of bounds and it will be Philadelphia ball after a good return Walt Williams made the tackle finally as Marshall found a big hole along the right sideline and scooted through it Marshall a good big strong runner takes it straight up the middle now watch him cut back he's using his block and he'll cut back to the outside you know take it right up the sideline puts a good move on and runs I watch he'll get hit from the back and a fumble of football but a break for the Eagles as it goes out of bounds Marshall was with Kansas City and Minnesota in the past cut one time by the Eagles and mentioned 75 was playing touch football in Kansas or when the Eagles gave him another call and another chance Hogan on the first play from scrimmage in the second half Kapolei yards for him Doug English made the tackle not much of a difference in the total plays or first downs during the first half rushing yardage just about even the Eagles with the edge and passing yardage this score pretty much reflects the even nature of the statistics ten seven Lions by a field goal which Nick Amaya booted on the first half last play Sullivan and hoes in the running back Sullivan in motion [Applause] Jaworski with time and now that protection breaks down a bit and down goes to or ski it looked like you would have time but apparently the Lyons secondary doing a good job nobody opened and eventually they bring him down but your ski certainly super gotten rid of that ball because the offensive line blocked they call a mandatory three seconds that's all they're counting they're counting if I plot the man for three seconds the net quarter back should get rid of the football Jaworski did not do it last week's loss to Los Angeles represented the first regular-season game that Jaworski had started in which his team did not win the avid his team was the Rams before last week he was three hours a regular season started with the Rams and want to know after feeding Tampa Bay the first Ridge of the ethos but the Rams stopped that string last week so whiskey on a third down play with time going way up top Carmichael was there but the throw was not far Michael had Walt Williams beat that zone let's follow Carmichael's pass Ruth Nick Carmichael just comes down he'll put it in move and then break it back to the outside and he has Williams beat wide open all Jaworski has to do is just lay the ball out there for Carmichael a big target at six eight but your ski fails to do it disappointed George Teague conferring with the veteran Roman Gabriel on the sidelines there's forest king who has gone back to receive the punt from Spike Jones rush on they almost got to it Jones gets it away not very deep at all King lets it bounce and it takes an eagle hop not around the 15 yard line so it works out alright finally downed by Cleveland Franklin reserved running back a 39-yard punt by Jones 14:17 to play in the third quarter it's Detroit wall of the 16th [Applause] of all of the small cars to choose from Ford Pinto offers the kind of value that makes it the best-selling American small car dental has the low price and over 75% of Pinto scheduled maintenance requirements have been reduced or eliminated and Pinto has higher resale value than Chevy Chevette when it comes to small cars there are a lot to choose from when it comes to value look to Ford Pinto the best-selling American small car when America needs a better idea Ford puts it on wheels here they come pouring in from California and Vermont from Texas Oklahoma and Georgia from all over the country billions of used aluminum cans headed for recycling today about one out of four aluminum cans is recycled and used again tomorrow maybe one out of three someday maybe every one of them spike jonze barely got that last pot away for Philadelphia here it is great pressure by Levi Johnson from the outside he almost gets his hand on it but better than that he did not hit the punter which would have given Eagles the first down eight yards scoring run by Archie Manning with time running out in the first quarter the Bears and the Saints are tied at 7-7 Eagle Defense rising to the occasion extra rising after a loss on the play number 65 Johnson the defensive rookie who's starting now for the Eagles has good quickness off the ball and come real hard he has good moves he's able to ludus guy he just does a good job so firing they're there the fans enjoying today's game having a little sip of the beverage that refreshes a little popcorn into the mouth sucking down and 13 yards to go after a loss of three on the play fake by Landry I'm a sideline toss over the head the intended receiver King it'll bring up third down from deep in lion territory Dallas leading Tampa Bay 17 to nothing at the end of the first quarter a 32-yard field goal by Aaron Herrera then a 79 yard interception return for a touchdown by Tom Henderson then a 17 yard run by Robert Newhouse could be a long afternoon for John McCain's Tampa Bay Buccaneers they trailed the Cowboys 17 nothing after one quarter folks Thomas Henderson is a linebacker and runs the 40 in for six and a hundred and nine eight a playoff on the 13 yard line for Landry and the Lions he has time slips away seek equation of the first down as he goes out of bounds good coverage once again by the equal secondary as Landry had plenty of time before finally being forced to run John outlaw chased him out of bounds number 20 Minnesota has moved in front of Green Bay 13 to 7 early in the second quarter a 16-yard pass from Fran Tarkenton to Sami white for the first Minnesota score to tie the game at 7-7 then a three yard run by chuck Forman to put them in front but the point after touchdown was wide and it's 13 7 Minnesota over Green Bay rumors thunder under pressure right now he meets it out about his own 10 and so a spiral Lane kick Marshall at the 35 with time and room to return it about a 7 yard return outs and a 42 good field position now for the Eagles after another good punt by summers so apparently the work of summers has eliminated one headache for Tommy Hudspeth they have had such a terrible time with their punting game but Summers has done the job today [Laughter] [Music] now try and forget the 10th largest life insurance company in America Lincoln National Life we're easy to remember you know what look like a light day with nothing to deliver but posters for the AC sparkplug bicep and get one they said what could be easier right do you know how many places sell a spark plug and everyone with a poster like this is selling 880 spark plugs for the price of seven o'clock and applies sure getting a free AC spark plug is a great idea [Music] someday Archie wants to buy a business I want to see Chelsea's bar turned into donkeys bar at 8:30 7:30 Sun Kalimantan [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] we've got them in all ages shapes and sizes out of the Silverdome today and looking on as Levi Johnson made the tackle that time pickup of six on the play second down in about four all across midfield now for two whiskey and the evil fake the Sullivan Joe West who wants to throw under pressure and broken up by Charlie West and let's say are they going to say that Carmichael held on off the deflection apparently so Carmichael grabbed the ball and it will count as a completed pass we'll look at it again it's questionable but with Carmichael's big hands its play-action faking to the backs now he's looking for Carmichael over the middle of food rushed by O'Neill the ball is put on the money Carmichael juggles in here now let's see if he has it yes he does he does have it he caught that ball has a foot call by the officials now the pork could be proud of his group but Carmichael of an outstanding individual play first and ten from the 36 yard line Sullivan gets the call straight up the middle Tom Sullivan very close to a first down before Doug English and Charlie West combined to bring him down and they will measure to see just how close Tom Sullivan got Dick Vermeil must have heard me at halftime because you know I felt that they had to get the ball to Sullivan more than they were getting to him in the first half and so far he's carried the ball three times in his second happened to drive by the ego's is impressive we mentioned this during the half Nick Vermeil is the kind of coach who will make adjustments at halftime obviously all coaches do but he's the kind of guy that will make some major moves well Vermeil works 18 to 20 hours a day it's a first down for the Eagle so they keep their drive going and he should have the ability working those long hours to have 4700 charts ready to make adjustments Naoko those coaches work hard early in the second quarter at Baltimore the Colts lead Buffalo seven to nothing on a nine yard run by Ron Lee he's subbing for Lindsay injured our Roosevelt Leakes we've got about 10:35 to play in the third quarter here trailing ten seven the Eagles are driving Hogan going around the left side Williams chasing him and riding him out [Applause] and almost riding him into the third row that was I was great blocking first by Walters the tackle and then by Tommy Sullivan who cuts two guys down and Hogan just Sprint's to the sideline again gets the the second down situation second and five bucks real quick blocking by the offensive line the Eagles have been suspect or offensive line for the last two games torski haven't been sacked last game five times by the Rams John Smith with another field goal this one from 17 yards 1016 to play in the third quarter New England leaves the Jets 20 to 14 second down play from the Lions 20 [Applause] I know about the two Mike Hogan could have been stopped about three or four times just great individual running by Hogan he looks like he stopped and he cuts back to the middle and does some great footwork here morning like the best morning backs in the NFL he cuts back to the middle and he gets a big first down for the ego's almost scoring on that effort super run by Mike Hogan great individual effort another angle looks like he stopped it will make that same cutback Walt Williams does not come up and could have forced if he doesn't make it and he just too loose Williams's tackle and its first intent Eagles first and goal from the waterfront legacy yard run by Hogan this time he flies to the touchdown and I stop and Cole talking about Hogan he gained 561 yards last year despite missing six games due to injuries and last year was his rookie season so he has a chance to be one of the better running backs in the NFL on that play the Lions were waiting for it stacked him up for no gain maybe about a half yard loss well it's just outside the one second down and goal nine minutes ten seconds to play third quarter put the Eagles in front they trail down ten seven Jaworski's gonna throw for it and it is broken up on a great play by Levi Junction now Charles Smith they think he was in her feared way Johnson came right over the top to bat it down the play-action pass and he has Kressley wide open in the end zone but then he decides to go back and it's in and Smith drops the football but he had correctly wide open on a play-action pass here he's waiting at the end zone waving his hands that he doesn't throw it a football which is the mystery decides to go to Smith it's a good play but there was holding on a play anyway so it's a 15-yard 10-yard penalty against Eagle so it it went for naught it was a spectacular defensive play though by Johnson coming over the top batted away from Smith [Applause] seventy-six offense [Applause] Jerris Sizemore apparently Nick reported into the game at the wrong position well I thought if you were a lineman's number you can line up as a lineman maybe eat they had him as a tight end I'm not sure apparently he reported in as an n-well whatever it is it's a 10-yard penalty against the Eagles that is the long and short of it and it brings up second down and goal to go but this time the ball is at the 16 yard line [Applause] Jaworski [Music] this was there and so was Wally Henry number 80 Burgie watching when the Eagle bends so the Eagles who were knocking at the door first and goal from the one now phase third and goal from the sixteen the veteran chali West for the Lions head that completely smelled out and when Smith angled in West was step her step with him [Applause] there's Jaworski he is the kind of guy who can really pump a team up in the huddle he's a very animated player soothing enthusiasm took points on the board Lugo's have not done that too well so far this year Jaworski said Carmichael and Carmichael has 6 points barely got his feet down in the endzone for the touchdown the penalty is against the Lions and there probably is a holding penalty against the defensive backs the eCos will refuse it here it is Carmichael just gives an out move torski delivers the ball hanging in a pocket beautifully good protection all the evidence of a good offensive play that results in six points for the Eagles and into the end zone by inches and Jaworski showing you a bit of what we told you about him about his being very animated enthusiastic type player he ran over and jumped right into the arms of Harold Carmichael after the touchdown Heilmann will try and make it 1410 with 8:50 to play in the third quarter the Eagles ahead for the first time Jones had trouble spotting it and applied that was not well Jones could not hang out of the snap and he was late getting it down and Newman's point after touchdown is blocked and I could be crucial because the Lions are now within distance to tie on a field goal trailing 13 cents [Music] come on old trademark time for your walk what's the hurry I know where we're going to where your family began but the same Levi's blue jeans worn by this man there's Rick Cain waiting in the endzone for the kick fine human with the Eagles in front 1310 it comes to Luther blue and blue the rookie out of Iowa State moves it across the 30 before being brought down let's look at the scoring play by the Eagles again third down and long George key going to Carmichael has double coverage on him sworsky hangs in a pocket delivers a perfect strike to Carmichael who makes an out move for the six points beautiful past a beautiful reception now at the fumbled extra point attempt can't get the ball down a momen attempts it but Doug English breaks through the blockage so it's 13 to 10 legal says as we mentioned that's a big thing because right now a field goal can tie it for the Lions instead of leading them a point short landry immediately to the air and Horace King his favorite targets today gathers it in and skips on about the facts have been the prime receivers Ferg Landry this is play-action fake the bussy it's one-on-one coverage Berkey covering king not much of a footrace because King is that much quicker receives it for the first down and the Lions are driving his fifth reception of the day Eagles went 54 yards in eight plays and held onto the ball for quite a while give us the King out in midfield before being stopped Dick Vermeil along the sidelines can't see who he's talking to looks like he's talking to Eddie George the offensive tackle I don't know what his concern is the offensive wind they're an excellent drive on our last Eagles Drive second down seven from midfield for the Lions exactly eight minutes to play in the third quarter the bacon a quick flip out to Luther blue speeding rookie close to a first down before Carl Hairston made the tackle it is a lion first down at about the 42 yard line of Philadelphia Terry Bradshaw having a good day at Cleveland his third touchdown pass fourteen yards to Lynn Swann 10:57 to play third quarter Pittsburgh 21 Cleveland 14 and Archie Manning with his second touchdown run this one a two yard scamper New Orleans with 736 to play in the second quarter is taking up 14-7 lead on the bag too much running room virtually no gain on the play nobody nobody who MA at play Bob simply because Marta buried the full-back and Bollinger the guard took the same man in the linebacker bunting knife inside to make the tackle Richard wood of Tampa Bay picked up a fumble and ran 37 yards into the Dallas endzone and the score now the Cowboys 17 in Tampa Bay 7 at Dallas on a 35-yard field goal by busing again again wrapped up by the Eagle defense Nanni's Sistrunk on the tackle the way the Eagles are pursuing like that was sister on coming down a line so fast it'll be a good time to run a reverse because that's probably his responsibility the Lions have been doing some unusual things at least for them on offense this year Edie Hughes is their offensive coordinator and he worked for many years under Tom Landry at Dallas it was his idea to go with the two tight ends and a number of other offensive innovations Sanders again moving in motion Lanza with the flip the King King trying to get the first down yardage and coming up short of it they needed to go just inside the 32 King is to about the 34 it'll be fourth down and a long one or a short - Landry looks at Hudspeth they're going for it yes they will they will go for it on fourth down is a good spot here for a play-action pass and then go to the backs buzzer I would love it [Music] [Applause] bouncing off tacklers Horace cane to keep the lion [Applause] Randy Logan eighth attacker but way too late good block here by Dexter busty and de Ville spring it all away good block by busty on outlaw good running by King with power boughs over Fergie and gets to first down he needed one and a half and he got 9 first and ten from the 24 block is moving with 508 to play third quarter then Isaiah 13 Detroit 10 plus he gets the car he got two or three more yards than he might have with second effort around the 21 yard line this would make it a gain of about three Frank lemaster made the tackle Lin Bodine has come into the game replacing Bollinger now it looks like Bollinger got shaken up on the last play that was a good block by boudin marburg number 44 you saw him there veteran from Colgate so many years with the Oakland Raiders trying to come back after serious shoulder [Applause] running out of our pocket what a job he has done this afternoon by carrying the ball and catching it but there is a penalty marker down well andrew is clapping his hands so it may be against the Eagles might be a facemask politic somebody may have reached in and grabbed King around the helmet see if we can pick it up again we're going to a play-action pass and ing makes a good move now he's looking for de Ville a tight end he can't find him so he starts to scramble a little bit and Horace king who has been in the right place at the right time all day makes the reception puts a good move back to the inside let's see if we can pick up that payoff I don't know how the officials to pick up the facemask in that pile but they did what a day so far for Horace Kings 60 yards on past receptions 50 yards rushing 110 yards total offense and still for 12 to play in the third quarter last day of the season Thank You commissioner [Applause] first and goal from Alliance Brick Lane number 32 is in the running bad spot [Applause] spread ahead play games about to Horace King picking himself up after being brought down by John bunting and Manny sistrum Manny sister on a cousin of Otis Sistrunk of the writers write my and she really has not gone to his tight ends that much and this may be a situation where he would Kane goes out bus he comes back in along with King in the backfield on the six bussy [Applause] down near the three yard line he has scored the only lion touchdown so far on a 14 yard run in the first quarter there's a former Atlanta head coach Marion Campbell and actually my first coach in professional football he's given a defensive signals to the Eagles and has found a home back in Philly again he and Fred Bruni coming over from the Falcons Campbell who flashes the defensive signals and Bill Davis who is doing it this week rather than Vermeil flashing the offensive signals they destroy a yellow shirts on the sidelines they can be distinguished by the players on the field all the other coaches in white shirts a third down play they need the touchdown [Applause] back in front 16:13 detroit the clock shows 247 to play and that's Lawrence Gaines number 38 who has been inactive this season because of a knee injury in uniform for the first time today he congratulate Spa say after this cache utilization of your running backs as receivers and that's what lanes we has done all day long the king and busty that one too busty resulting in a great touchdown for the Lions they went 68 yards in both plays to regain the lead and now a big point after attempted by Stewart victimized [Applause] and that miss actually blocked extra point earlier means even larger because now the Eagles need a touchdown to do them any good a field goal will not shame a tie in [Music] Marshall 22 Montgomery 31 awaiting to kick from nikka Myer he gets plenty of foot into this one Montgomery says I'll stay right here eagle ball omelets funny after a 68 yard drive and 12 plays by the Lions as they go back in front 1713 Exce aturday the CBS Sports spectacular niki lauda the favorite in the Grand Prix at Watkins Glen there was super foot Wallace who can pick that left foot out there in full contact karate at about 60 miles an hour that should be something to see he'll be defending his world middleweight full-contact karate championship and then the World's Strongest Man competition continues I'll tell you more about that [Applause] Westridge trying to rally the Eagles again fired lion defense is waiting for Mike Hogan all new mop was there first I [Applause] wonder if that super foot in a karate championship to kick a football he kicks with his heel well I don't think that's illegal in the NFL might not be illegal but it might be ineffective 19 yard field goal by Efrain Herrera with 246 two plays second quarter at Dallas Cowboys 20 sampled a sudden look at what your ski has done so far he faced his second and eight exactly two minutes remaining in the third quarter with time and Charles Smith was the intended receiver but he didn't have much of a crack at that one as it was overthrown by Jaworski what Jaworski actually was trying to do is he's trying to find that middle spot in the zone because they have a cornerback who comes up and plays it short I have a free safety who plays a deep and there's a gap in here between the quarterback and the safety he tried to fill it in there but he couldn't find it Jaworski in his fourth NFL season let his college ball at little Youngstown State equals acquired him from the lands in exchange for the lights to tighten Charlie young replaced young outside and keep ruffles caught a touchdown pass from Valesky today so I ski fine Smith Charles Smith struggling for extra artist but Barney Laszlo Macon West combined to do Charlie Smith in minute 35 with the clock moving 1713 lions in front third quarter and it will be a first down for the Eagles out about the 38 yard line new moth was in on a blitz that time and the backs picked him up real well and the impressive thing with Jaworski is he had new mop around his legs and yet he hung in the pocket and delivered the ball to Smith for a big first down those football on the pitches holden couldn't find the handle now he starts back the other way and he may turn this into a decent game while he got two out of it which was better than the potential disaster which was staring him in the face when he juggled it the first time here Hogan looks like a basketball player playing for the 76ers dribbles it picks it up says hey there's no room over here let me go back the other way he picks up a good block from Carmichael the chali West is there that bring him down Hogan fumbled earlier in the game to stop an Eagle Drive deep in lion territory second and seven this could be the last day of a third quarter in all probability [Applause] the whiskey firing long and it is most certainly complete the big Harold Carmichael and he has shoved out of bounds by Walt Williams but now the Eagles are in the lion territory but perhaps the play will be called back there may be a holding call on the Eagles the blitz is on again Tommy Sullivan picks up O'Neill very nicely and Jaworski hangs in a pocket waiting for Carmichael of big Williams which he does but again it goes for no leads no game because it's a holding penalty on the Eagles that will kill more drives and demoralize bored teams and despite anything in football and of course stops the clock with 16 seconds to play three at number three and George is detected holding surprise replacement for the Lions is Charlie Weaver number 59 I didn't expect to see him today he's out there he makes his first appearance hamstring the whiskey had 17 yards now suckin down when his own 31 look out question from Lazlo Majewski steps around it and lobs one out to Carmichael and Harold Carmichael goes out of bounds in Detroit territory Jaworski doing a good job of avoiding laz Levesque and completing the fast let's look at it again last Levesque putting the big rush on torski he reminds you of a young Roman Gabriel people all over him hanging in a pocket making a desperation throw right on the bucks Gabriel would have to feel proud of a guy like Jaworski and the long reach by Harold Carmichael didn't curtain at all on that play eight inch panel of Carmichael who was a basketball center not surprisingly at Southern University they get the first down at the Lion 46 the whiskey's going to keep it in the air [Applause] Walt Williams attic rocket picking it off and couldn't hang on the rookie from New Mexico State this is not really meant to be a criticism of Carmichael but he has really pooped and really tired and really does not run the best of patterns this time and Jaworski almost throws interception because of it Carmichael does leave the ballgame and kapowee comes in to replace him two seconds remaining in the third quarter second down and 10 from aalayam 46 [Applause] Sullivan and Hogan remain as the running lights Hogan gets the car at least the cool who drags him down as the quarter comes to the poise that's the end of the third quarter with the score Detroit's 17 and Philadelphia 13 we now pause for a word from your local station CBS brings you highlights from Elvis Presley's last two concerts in a one-hour special tomorrow night at 8:00 7:00 central and mountain on CBS Ron Jaworski faces 3rd and 15 on the first play on the final period what would you look for him to go through here Nick well I think I'll go to Smith about a 20-yard pattern over the middle from the eagle 49 they've gotta go over the 36 I'll get right [Applause] torski on a long count all bur everybody said there is a flag down on the play it's encroachment by the Lions it'll be a five-yard penalty the Eagles will take it and it'll set up a third down in ten situation he should have went to Smith on a flake the Smith did go up over the middle about 20 yards of biblical Carmichael was the intended receiver but that was obviously way over his head and again kalabaw speak to us Kelvin 82 ken Sanders was the man who jumped Buffalo his tie Baltimore at seven all Joe Ferguson to Bob Chandler from 15 yards out two minutes to play in the half in that game [Music] [Applause] third and ten for Jaworski and the eagles the polish rifle rifles that one into the arms of charles smith and i guess you were thinking right along with Dick Vermeil that's on dick well there has been open all day long and just wonder when Jaworski was going to call that play because the facts are playing off and the linebackers are playing up all us miffed us here and with good protection again by the Eagle offensive line let's go down about 20 bend up over the middle and he's wide open big first down for the Eagles an 18-yard gain on the play less than a minute gone by in the fourth quarter Detroit 17 Philadelphia 13 and the Eagles driving the pitch back to Tom Sullivan to about the 22 maybe 23 yard line as lemon Barney number 20 when Barney's been hampered with injuries for the last two games Levi Johnson was shaken up today so he's seeing action I don't think with which he intended to really do today you know that I formation Ephraim eel has inserted for this game really gives an added dimension if Tommy Sullivan because of his quickness Barney the great veteran whom we mentioned with Detroit since 1967 as the Milligan this with eleventh season from the corner to a free safeties back three-time All Pro Hogan manages to fall forward to about the 20 but that will leave him short of the first down and Sanders made the stop there's the line up-to-date on Ron Jaworski New Orleans perhaps on the verge of upsetting Chicago 21-7 now a 34 yard pass Archie mounting to chuck Muncie with a minute to play in the first half 21 7 Saints over the Bears I would look for Tommy Sullivan getting the toss back on his plate [Applause] if you saw the Eagles move to Sullivan takes the handoff West is right there comes over to help and Sullivan didn't get [Applause] well coach what do you do you go for the first down and try and get the touchdown or D kick the field goal and then make it 17 to 16 Dick Vermeil talking it over they're going for the field goal now the field goal will leave them a point short even if it is good but they need two yards and Vermeil decides that with plenty of time remaining 12:45 that he'll let forced Newman try one with Spike Jones holding Jones kneeling at about the 27 making it a 37-yard of town yeoman has yet to kick won this year a flag is thrown as Millman gets the kick off it's no good wide to the right side and let's wait for the penalty it's against Philadelphia obviously the Lions decline the Eagle Drive is stopped and with 12 minutes and 40 seconds to play in the ball game the Lions retain that 1713 Lane at the Silverdome [Music] when you farm your own land the work never ends but you do it with pride and all the strength you can muster but now comes Miller time time to head for the best tasting beer you can find America's quality beer Miller High Life when it's time to relax Sunday Archie wants to buy a business I want to see Chelsea's Bar trained into focus at 8:30 7:30 central in mountain a reminder about

blade at 1713 and not too much that time a big game that Jets 21 New England 20 a 44 yard past interception by Penn State graduate Greg bottle the linebackers so it's the linebackers day-to-day Henderson for the Dallas Cowboys and Bunnell for the Jets they lead New England 2120 in the big game gonna take a count some time on just how many Penn State line backers are in the NFL a couple of them here today lies Levesque Antonio or the Lions Landry the fake to Rick came with time he fires deep David Hill was the intended receiver John outlaw was right with him over everybody said third down eight [Music] still plenty of time and we could be heading for a heck of a finish Lions by four at 1713 with 11 56 remaining Jarvis and King come into the game right now so that means that King has had so many receptions today and has looked so well coming out of the backfield I'm their receiving end of it could be involved in his next play Charlie Sanders number 88 you saw him with his back to you ten year veteran from Minnesota played in seven Pro Bowls for the Lions that he is playing despite a very severe injury to his hamstring which has bothered him all during the preseason tell more about that in a minute Luther blue the rookie was the intended receiver and he tried to run with it before he had it and this is going to bring up a punting situation Wilbur summers coming in for the Lions Sanders nick is using an electrical device which is attached to his hip and basically what it does is it cuts off the pain impulses to his brain when contact is made a complicated thing one which Charlie himself doesn't fully understand but he says he just tries to stay away from linebackers with wire cutters and water long as it doesn't short certainly hasn't changed Larry Marshall the single safety waiting for the punt from summers this one is not especially long Marshall fielding it at the 45 and a dangerous play as the Lions were right on top of it he did not call for the fair catch brave Jarvis brought him down after a 33 yard punt by Wilbur summers 1143 to go it'll be Philadelphia ball at their own 45 aborting your future is coming the new ford fairmont new car design for

lead 27 to 20 over New England that's with 10 and a half minutes to play that game [Music] this first down now for the Eagles from their own 45 so whiskey has plenty of time and her may have played it on a bounce lion fans don't like it but he played it on the short hop Jaworski's pass was into a crowd of blue shirts there wasn't an Eagle receiver anywhere near Earth and West almost came up with the interception that's a situation where the quarterback just makes up his mind I'm gonna throw it to that receiver no matter what happens and he did almost resulting and disaster for the Eagles good pass Charlie West coming into the parking lot this morning at the Silverdome driving in in his band spent six years with the Minnesota Vikings how does Kevin FL season overall Hogan [Applause] Charlie Weaver he's a veteran but he reacts to that play like a rookie Landry watching from the sidelines Creek right now is just gathering gathering his thoughts just trying to analyze in his mind what are the plays that are really been successful if I get the ball back what you know what is the series of plays I want to call quarterbacks are always under the gun always under pressure they always have to make the right decision so what your ski has decided to do here has been flashed on Friday inside 11 minutes they need 11 yards question is on have got him from behind torski leaves the football on the turf nobody seems to want it a play may have been whistled dead dog English eventually comes up with it we recovered a fumble earlier by Hogan earnest price was the guy who sacked torski tore skis hurt he's down on the ground and he's hurt let's watch what happens he tried to tuck the ball under his arm stars this scramble and he's pulled down from the back look at his knee his knees buckled up underneath him buddy and he drops the football but they say it was dead but he's down on the ground and he's hurt here he goes again see the need the knees bent he's down on the ground he drops the

hands as quick as possible Allstate settled the claim a lot quicker than I expected there's it's great hopefully you need it that's a promise from the good hands people the next time the Eagles have the ball we're going to see Roman Gabriel at quarterback so one ski was carried off the field apparently with Indians a spike jonze punts on fourth down dick Tehran the only man back there's Geron number 26 he'll let it roll it works out well for the Eagles they down it how about the 11 49 yard kick by Spike Jones here it is again don't you don't like to see these things happen to anybody in the NFL but look at his knee right there you can see his knee buckled up underneath them and it does look serious because Jaworski is in pain and they did carry him off the field here he is being carried off the field and they are working on it feverishly on his sideline and Roman Gabriel meantime looses his arm on the sidelines lion ball and King doesn't get much maybe a yard before being stopped clock is moving 10 minutes and 19 seconds to play fourth period they're also in the fourth quarter at Cleveland and Terry Bradshaw is having a field day a one-yard run for a touchdown he is thrown for three other scores 2814 the Steelers out in front with 11:30 to play in that game the Browns with a murderous early season schedule they managed to beat Cincinnati and Roma women men and week three they run up against the Steelers [Music] and again out across the 20 and he may have the first down visually I'm starting to go ahead you say good blocking but Jaworski instead of having a knee injury as we anticipated a break I think for the Eagles he just has a sprained ankle I'm sure it's a seriously sprained ankle but yet the injury obviously but he isn't pain and they are icing it on his sideline but a big first down for the Lions on that last run by King and Kings having an excellent day today 64 yards from 12 carries 60 yards on seven pastor century [Music] came again staying with a hot hand but this time bill Bergey snuffs it out Jaworski spread out behind Roman Gabriel and herb Lusk was helping Gabriel warm up on the sidelines Bob I'm surprised they haven't taken him into the locker room to get that ankle X ray I'm sure the doctor has looked at it on the sidelines but they need an x-ray to tell if it's broken 8:40 showing on the fourth quarter clock at the Silverdome Dexter bus he gets the call on a second downplay bossy pushing forward Frank lemaster ah Carl hares the stopped it's a big third down in five for the Lions and if they keep that a pattern of the game they will go to one of their running backs on about a five or six yard hookup which has been working all day for Landry now Jaworski back on his feet and walking around on the sidelines ona they tell you the NFL players are in it for the money and you see a man trying to get back into the game with an ankle injury like that he wondered at the horse keys the kind of guy that has that schoolboy enthusiasm let's see that on the deal King good defensive play Sanders finished him off as he came up from the outside here it is third and five that Landry goes conservative giving a ball at King Sanders comes up it just finishes off to play Tom mailers was really the man who made the play though tripping King up watch elders 59 fight off the block by bussy and then Sanders comes over so the Lions at the punt with seven minutes and ten seconds to play in the game summers number ten and waiting back at his own 35 is Larry Marshall summers with plenty of time to get it away Marshall back tracks to the 28 and finds a hole Marshall across midfield in the lion territory excellent punt return and the Eagles are in business with 655 to play a 45-yard punt and a 25-yard return by Marshall and here it is Marshall makes a good step here and bust up the middle here he runs into Dennis Franks the backup center which slows them up and just gives the defense enough time to bring him down good run by Marshall [Music] Roman Gabriel is into the game at quarterback now for the Eagles a 16-year veteran gives the ball to Sullivan and there's a penalty marker on the play as Sullivan gets about five yards looked like a legal procedure on the Eagles Paul Newman discussing it with town the poor well the plating gained much yardage but you'd like to probably bring them back another five guys because they are in your territory and that's exactly what they're going to do brings it back to the Eagle 48 that's tuned in on califor legal motion 64 next Sunday a CBS doubleheader the Giants going against the Eagles at the Meadowlands in New Jersey and these Lions against Minnesota big NFC Central battle doubleheader games Dallas against st. Louis Atlanta and San Francisco Washington and Tampa Bay some areas will see only a single game due to the NFL blackout policy the handoff to Hogan back into Lion territory before being stopped by Paul Newman interesting point Bob he's got Bill Davis the offensive backfield coach for the Eagles is giving Gabriel a 16 yard 16 year veteran the plays from the sidelines Gabriel has undergone five knee operations also operated on his upper lip recently and removed that big bushy mustache it's clear shave him now second down and say six ten to play in the fourth quarter and they have taken too long they took more than 30 seconds and that's going to cost them five yards the wrong time to have something like that happen the Eagles were too slow in getting the play off Gabriel is a type of quarterback who likes to check off at the line of scrimmage having played against Gabe a few times what we used to do is come up and fake a blitz to get him to check off the play and as soon as he would check off the play we would then go back into our normal coverages causing just a little confusion just give him another little thing to think about four years ago the Eagles mortgaged much of their future by giving Harold Jackson Tony Baker and two number-one draft choices to the lambs the Gabriel Gabriel firing D from a second down play when Barney was the closest man to it check it that was James Hunter number 28 not Barney but in any event an incomplete pass bringing up third down and 15 with 558 to play and the ball at the eagle 48 looked like a wounded duck the hands of Gabriel did not exactly sail out there as a perfect spiral that's Wally Henry number 89 a free agent from UCLA Dick Vermeil of course familiar with him from his college coaching days signed him up this year were the Eagles [Music] this one looks a little better but the result is the same incomplete over the middle Wally Henry a high may have been the intended receiver but it brings up a punting situation for the Eagles and time is growing short there's Charlie West strong safety is happy about the way things went on that series as the Eagles were stopped 553 remaining today we have two doubleheader games the Cardinals and the Redskins in Washington and San Francisco at Los Angeles so check your local listings for the game in your area and again some cities will only see the single game due to the NFL blackout policy picture on awaiting a kick by Spike Jones and Jones line drives it it will go out of bounds with Geron grabbing it around the 15 yard line 39 yard kick by Spike Jones who is one of the better position type hunters in the NFL he tries to get it inside the 20 and generally he's pretty successful Alayna 10 to 3 over the Giants in the fourth quarter - kind of surprising this year the Len Lehmann veteran has put together a strong offensive team even though that Bartkowski is out for the year with a knee injury or at least for six gain Scott hunter is really leading a team [Applause] Gregg language sometimes Mayans 17 in those 13 ASEAN mcgarrett out across the 15 yard line it'll be second down and about seven five and a half minutes to play Locke is moving both teams have the full complement of timeouts remaining for each let's see if Landry stays with a conservative pattern [Music] the CEO is running backs is going to throw this time quick one of the sideline Java's gathers it in and Herman Edwards bumps him up Edwards through the assignment on Harold Jackson last week against the Rams had stopped him very well also intercepted a pass believed inadvertently earlier we'd give him credit for that to Walt Williams of the Lions which would have been a neat trick since the Lions were playing the worldand at the time 5:08 remaining third down and about one king trying to get that first down yardage and they'll stop the clock and possibly measure that was a one-on-one situation well Len Barney to Connor back and Horace king no one block and Barney was just do or die for King to make the first down here it is Barney's in a good tackling position he came driving for the first we'll have to take a look at to see whether or not the Lions made the first down I think you meant to say outlaw on that play Nick oh that's right no problem and they did the nose of the football they've got the first down they keep it going each club now has 17 first down 501 to play and as we grow closer to the end of the ball game that big block point after touchdown by Doug English balloons as a big big play and it's been good the Eagles would be in position to tie with a field goal now they need a touchdown the way King on first down flag is down on the play people as a Titch number 73 made the stop former San Diego charger player holding call a preliminary indication against the Lions the penalty stops the clock with 438 remaining I'm sure the Eagles would take the penalty because they want to backup the Lions is deep as possible their own territory so if in fact the Lions do punt the Eagles will come up a good field position [Music] they pace it off back inside the 15 Calliphora will make it official holding 63 rally caught the center John Morris for holding these latitudes was a former teammate of mine at the Miami Dolphins the Jets out in front of knowing links 2720 in the fourth period the other New York Club not doing as well they trauma Falcons by a touchdown in the last quarter this is first and 20 Sanders in motion King on the carry and evils the lion fans bent their displeasure if the way things are going Manny Sistrunk and Franklin Astor combined to stop our is king but the clock keeps moving for 15 remaining now the fans can be fickle the Landry goes back and throws the pass and it's intercepted they'll booth a total second down 18 ball at the 15 soit leading Philadelphia by four draw play for King and that stopped for a loss and more of those rain down here at the Silverdome [Music] I'll Hairston made the tackle on King the Eagles will have plenty of time with three timeouts remaining when they eventually get the ball back if they can stop this third down play third and 20 husbands doing the right thing is keeping control of the football the Eagles have to score touchdown to win a field goal does them no good so why give it up fruitlessly when you can contain anything 3:18 now the clock continues to move this time he will go to the air Landry finds his man and then it's broken up it would have been short of the first down anyway but Incan hanger Randee Logan gave him a shot can shard the ball loose penalty marker down and the Detroit players are clapping their hands in Bill Bergey is screaming at califor so this may go against Philadelphia it's a defensive penalty so it's an automatic first down well let's wait and see calling number 20 defense its first now John outlaw number 20 the left quarterback was guilty of holding and talking about a big penalty that was it the Eagles have been penalized fewer times than any team in the NFL through the first two weeks of the season I believe they were called only five or six times coming in only five penalties for 39 yards in the first two games but that was a big one it really hurt 3:07 remaining but a whole new series of downs for the Lions Buster Carey stop shiet at 20 the whistle may have blown Hairston picks it up and runs it in but the ball was dead the Eagle players are playing this game to a hill Fergie's in there he's complaining they're still remembering the penalty by outlaw more than that fumble there you're gonna see a lot of good hits in his last next two place coming up the Jets and the Patriots are looking at the possibility of overtime Steve Grogan threw 22 yards to Darryl Stingley with a minute 27 remaining in that game it's even up at 27 Hall and there you saw bussy hitting the deck and the whistle blew as soon as she was down just before the ball came free 2:35 remain and he's gonna throw the ball not a burden and Fergie wrestles him down bill Bergey Reglan and Wes Bollinger objects to the zeal which Fergie displayed in doing it that's the way football should be played it's a contact sport and that's what it's all about it's play-action pass and Landry's looking for a receiver in Fergie was knocked out temporarily by busty he grabs him by the shirt I think the fans are born because of this last little twist well Bergy spending a bit of that frustration which he felt first over the penalty call by the officials which sustained at the Detroit Drive allowed them to hang on to it and kill some more time and then buy the whistle which came right after bussy was tackled and negated what he thought should have been a fumble recovery for the Eagles the Eagles if they have the lines if they have their we're gonna let the clock run down but the ego stop it with 210 remaining because this is by giving them an extra timeout now the Lions are going to have to third down and 20 run the football and try get down to the two-minute warning that's the fourth time that landry has been sacked today a total of 30 yards and losses three of those sacks came in the first half tacked on to to the ten of the first two days being 14 sacks in three games so far 67 quarterback sacks against the Lions last year and that was one of their biggest problems Landry conferring with Tommy Hudspeth two minutes and 10 seconds remaining in the game Detroit 17 Philadelphia 13 both these clubs are 1 & 1 Billy has the Giants coming up next week the Lions have a big divisional battle with the Vikings Jaworski backed up on his feet and the ice back off with his right ankle so it's possible I guess that we could see him when the Eagles get the ball back Roman Gabriel wasn't able to do much of anything the one says that he was an issue when he talked about leadership leadership is the ability to play when you are hurt I see it many times with Larry Csonka bleeding from the nose or broken fingers and ribs or go out there and do it for the Dolphins and this is what gives inspiration to a ballclub and jorssy I'm sure will give inspiration to the Eagles third down and 20 the ball on the seventh the egos can come up with the defensive play here they will almost certainly have good field position when they get it back dusty with a football and this is even better field position than they might [Applause] franklin master number 55 bred the fumble by and with 204 remaining its first down Philadelphia at the Detroit 14 the man who's done everything all day long is the man who cost up the ball to the Eagles a big hit lemaster jumping on the football the Lions ahead 17 the 13 over to Eagles with 204 in the fourth quarter and Jaworski Limpy comes into the ballgame and he goes are looking hot the clock will stop after this play for the two-minute warning and of course time is no longer [Applause] they have plenty of [Applause] Sullivan [Applause] although as always had a great nose for the comes up with a big big play he's no longer a regular has more than made his contribution since today's victory Tommy Sullivan going into the line he's hit by Charlie Weaver who knocks the ball loose and left Barney if he doesn't stumble goes all the way through a touchdown he continues to get up but he's knocked out of bounds finally number 17 hollers Merrill Carmichael just as you said Nick if he had found the handle he was gone for six points but it still works out well for the Lion [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is new STP motor oil you might say it's like the pace fighter squadron because it fights engine enemies where eat Oh sludge STP motor oil fights battle after battle for 15,000 miles between oil changes 15,000 miles of protection that's extra protection new STP motor oil it keeps on fighting for 15,000 miles Europe's most successful new car in history comes to America PST imported from Germany by for Fiesta now there's a car that combines dramatic performance with excellent gasoline economy Fiesta Europe's most successful new car in history test drive one at your authorized Ford dealer now it was ten seven Detroit at the half Philadelphia briefly took the lead on a two-horse lead at Carmichael pass Landry came back and hit for the go-ahead score and that's the way it has remained through the fourth quarter the Eagles had a golden opportunity after fussy fumbled and lemaster recovered a look at Tommy Hudspeth the lion coach pacing the sidelines but from the 14 yard line on the very next play the Eagles coughed it up LEM Barney picked it up on a bounce brought it back out to the 43 yard line and that is where the Lions have it first and 10 with 151 remaining and the Eagles down to two timeouts [Applause] King [Applause] [Music] giggles letting the clock run for a while at least perhaps they'll wait until the next play Charlie Johnson made the tackle illegals only have two timeouts flat so they can't take one now they have to wait until after this played it before they can take a timeout second down and nine they just the King King gets out near the 45 and the Eagles are like to use a timeout here in the minutes seven remaining Bob row our producer today in soman handling the duties as our director Jay from Earth the associate producer Bob Burnham and John pew know contributing as well and the names just ran by a bit too quickly to mention them all but you saw them there briefly an eagle timeout with 107 remaining it'll be 38 when we come back for the Lions [Music] maybe you're using desert X but to kill the fungus that causes the burning cracking and itching of athlete's foot half date is better much better it's the killer app date kills all major types of athlete's foot fungus and helps prevent reinfection in fact the medication and aft aid has been proven more effective in killing athlete's foot fungus than the medication in DES MX f date is better much better it's the killer cold night Bob if you put in the crystal antifreeze presto presto presto third down and eight there your suit of time remaining the Eagles have one timeout yet to use Rick came the Eagles stop Cain and the clock as they called for a timeout with 59 seconds remaining she can't believe she's on TV the different enough today she sure is the difference here now is the Lions are punting will probably pin the Eagles back deep in their own territory knee goes will probably have a long way to go with no timeouts remaining so a young Ron Jaworski is going to have his work cut out for him is to utilize the clock without the advantage of timeouts here Dick Vermeil here do you go heavy with the Russians how to block it or try and set up for the turn now I would go for the block no question about that because summer all day long has been kicking high spirals not for distance but his got had good hang time all day long so I would go for the block here extra bust a 62 yards and 20 carries today for the Lions Horace King 68 yards also in 20 carries Aussie ranked number two and king number three and NFC roughing stats coming into the game summers got it away with time to spare Marshall at the 15 he'll try and get out of bounds he does lot stops with 49 seconds remaining after a 42 yard kick by Wilbur summers and that punting game has finally come together this afternoon for the Lions Georgie limps back into the huddle so he'll be the quarterback for the Eagles what 49 seconds remaining obviously he's got to look to work the sidelines anything completed in the middle of the field and my clock will continue to run you're gonna see the Lions defensive secondary playing at least 12 to 13 yards off the ball not wanting anybody to get behind him for the bomb got the extra defensive back in so whiskey the pass deflected and almost picked off to see James thunder number 28 he's upset one of his teammates got a hand on him and had it not been touched it would have been right into hunter's arms for the interception Lombardi had a shot at it also that have been a great play to be able to pick up the fumble and go in and then finish the game off with an interception again Jaworski decided to go down the middle looking for a 25 or 30 yard gain and then a hurry up huddle that took six seconds 43 seconds remaining [Music] [Applause] look out boys conducts under it noted Charles Smith 32 seconds 31 seconds inside 30 Bill Davis in the yellow shirt alongside Dick Vermeil he flashes the plays from the Eagle bench that last one gained 21 yards then you see the time running out on Philadelphia and again they keep it in the middle of the field Sullivan has brought down 12 seconds bad call by chores and now the officials are going to stop the clock at least briefly because the liens are taking their own good time about lining up you just have to throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock with ten seconds remaining they've been up to the line of school they're gonna mention for the first down I guess that's what the officials timeout is but they have to be lined up on the line of scrimmage when the officials put the play the ball back into play or the clock is going to run out for Neil and his assistants are not happy with the way the Eagles have wasted precious seconds here on the past couple of plays Charlie Smith is signaling get up to the line of scrimmage because the clock is going to start and it will there you see at ten seconds remaining the Eagles have no timeouts left Detroit 17 Philadelphia 13 from the Lion 46 the clock is moving as Torsten takes the snap this could be the game's last play I've got to go for everything so what's keep firin long out of the end zone if no time this ball game is over the Lions defeat the Philadelphia Eagles at the Silverdome 17 to 13 Detroit is 2 and 1 the Eagles are 1 and 2 and for Nick Buoniconti I'm Bob Costas saying goodbye from Pontiac Michigan and stay tuned for the doubleheader
