taxes and more other running back Jimmy Giles Rick Roberts the former all-american in Oklahoma Charles Hanna that converted defensive end from the 31 yard line Tampa Bay first down and the pitches to Bell he reaches the 34 for a gain of three brought down by the left quarterback ron pohl number 28 the Cleveland Browns played the 3-4 defense something new in 1980 Henry Bradley a relative unknown is the nose tackle and playing extremely well Lyle Alzado on one side of course they missed Jerry shirk Marshall Harris played very well last Sunday for excellent linebackers Robert L Jackson has had an outstanding start Don good replacing the normal standard Clay Matthews and the defensive backfield Tom garden with a scratched cornea playing with a little bit of a handicap I'm second out of seven [Laughter] six yard line salmon has Cleveland Brown defense it's a defense that in the early part of the first three games that they played have been very very good but they seem to tire and I think that's more from a lack of experience than anything else I'm sure that that Doug Williams and Ricky Bell will test that defense all day at the corner third down and five for Tampa Bay as you look at the sidelines of the Buccaneers it's sea of orange here in Tampa Bay and if you've seen any games emanating from this stadium you know how the Tampa Bay partisans addressed third down for Doug Williams double tight end situation Jimmy Giles 88 obradovich 86 to Gordon Jones up around the 44 yard line and the Buccaneers converted on their first third down conversion of the day there's one thing they could that the Cleveland Browns defensively have a problem with so far this season Sam in three games they've allowed opponents to complete 68% of their passes Doug Williams not known really is a percentage passer 51 so far 51 percent so far this year twist a little timing bastard young man out of Pitt a real surprise for the Tampa Bay Bucs too important Jones around the 44-yard line you'll see some of Johnny Davis today the third year man out of Alabama but now it's ecwid invalid ecwid thinks the [Laughter] twenty-eight but the Browns seemed to have that play diagnosed very well and last week for the first time Rickey Bell Cana got on track 15 carries 91 yards and even though he gets the yards looked at the good block by Jimmy Giles on Charley Hall who I think is a very underrated linebacker he was able to string that play out use this sideline as another defensive man and hold at the very little gain only about two and a half yards double tight end again on second down at 6:00 with obradovich and Giles we'll see a lot of that today and the two outside receivers Isaac Higgins 81 Gordon Jones 84 second and six for Doug Williams rolling right throws it in behind his receiver Giles with an excellent catch out of bounds as he crosses midfield to the Cleveland 46 yard line but he threw it in behind him and Giles had to turn all the way around to catch him something I noticed already Tampa is using a lot of different kind of formation with most moving up to the tight end spot tryna can try to confuse a very young Cleveland Brown defense and the Browns defensive back field has been suspect so far these first three games of the 1980 season so they get the first down at the Cleveland 45 and Williams has his team on the move those are the up to the date stats under Williams of 1980 of course prior to this ball game [Music] Smith backs davis 38 but the give mr. Rickey Bell an excellent hit by dick Ambrose the right inside linebacker now and his six year out of Virginia plane outstanding football in fact both inside linebackers it was Robert L Jackson but both Ambrose and Jackson playing very well and this is a secret to this defense a good nose man up front will free up those linebackers to make tackles like that dick Ambrose just running around the block and meeting Rickey Bell in the backfield for a loss on the play second down 11 Jerry Eklund Johnny Davis how the setbacks behind duck Williams those three backs will rotate a great deal today for John Mackay this big receivers Hagen's 81 court in Jones 84 and again you about the 42 yard line trying to call for another yard tripped up 91 Henry Bradley and Lyle Alzado 77 pleased with with a lot of people around Cleveland after their first victory over Kansas City well he said that a lot of people in Cleveland including the press and maybe even some of the players were still a little upset about the way the 34 defense was played they had given up an awful lot of yards but he said in Denver it takes a while to get used to it don't give up on it yet they're in mucker 87 Eisen cages eighty one of the wide receivers only one setback Rickey Bell as Williams on 36 back to pass has all day he fell but he couldn't hold it inside the 35 yard line and so it'll be fourth down Williams with a very late release the Ricky Bella couldn't hold the ball and I will tell you saying that the Tampa Bay Bucs have to leave the NFL impasses dropped Williams does throw it hard yes but there's no way that Rickey Bell should have missed this pass and look at the athletic ability of Doug Williams to still get that ball out there in the planter Rickey Bell and he should have caught that here's your number two putter in the NFC Tom Blanchard as you look at Kyle's try to get out on this particular occasion well covered by Ambrose Blanchard averaging 43 seven kicking to keep right and it bounces at the two and goes into the end zone for a touchback until the Cleveland Browns have the football for the first time today a 41-yard punt by Blanchard and the Browse with Brian site but Charles white who finally showed his colors in victory over Kansas City last Sunday we'll be back to tap in just a moment used to be when I had a job to do around the house it was one on one me

welcome back to Tampa stadium Sam Dover and bumps on the early first quarter action the Buccaneers drove the ball from their own learning log to the Cleveland 41 yard line that had to punt and the browser [Music] it by david lewis 57 after he picked up a couple of yards lewis ends up with the football but i don't believe they'll give it to him speaking of bay i think i to give it to him he's big enough the officials don't like to be referred to as they will give you a list of officials in a moment you look at the offensive unit very familiar Logan Rucker and Newsome as good as any tree on the National Football League and the big story there is not Ari Jackson who is not playing today the Jodl AMA we're starting at offensive white guard number 64 second down except Newsome in motion over the middle deflected it almost intercepted my crew at the intended receiver and Kurtis Jordan almost got his hands on the football Jordan is a normal quarterback but has been moved to pre safety today Cedric Brown out with an injury for Tampa Bay so it'll be third down and seven as we look at the Tampa Bay defense a great defense number one of the National Football League last year they have a new nose tackle Randy Crowder out with an injury but Dave Logan played very well the linebackers tremendous quartet Lewis Sheldon Woody Johnson number 30 in a third Rutger and Danny Reece the strong safety 46 dived in front of them and knocked it away lesson for all you young receivers out there Rooker should Rutger should know better when you're standing out there you got to come back for the football Reese was a good three or four yards off Reggie Rutger but stood right there and allowed Danny Reese to come in front of him and knocked the ball away a good play by Reese but with the Rutgers experience he should know better Johnny Evans has been having his troubles punting the ball particularly last Sunday he is next to last in the AFC averaging 37 3 and he'll be punting to Danny Reese and just made that outstanding defensive play and a high short punt takes a cleveland bounce recent to 39 avoid one tackler but down he goes into 40 40-yard line second possession of the day

primetime I don't even jingle here's our first score of the day Elvis peacock the one-yard run next report was good the Rams on top of the Giants [Applause] tampa bay ii possession of the game Hagen's in motion Ricky bailed nothing doing stacked up by Robert l Jackson 56 right in the middle and number 90 Marshall Harris who has a very difficult job replacing Jerry shirt and Robert Earl Harris has really been the biggest part excuse me Robbie rail Jack's has been the biggest part of the Cleveland Browns defense so far this season he's played like a man possessed for Cleveland loss of one second down 11 very quiet here in Tampa Marin characteristic double camp seventy thousand a capacity crowd here in said waiting for something to happen Williams play action rolling left as a man wide open 42 yard line and the brown secondary is going to have problems today Clinton Burrell number warning on replacing an injured Oliver Davis I mentioned Tom Darden with a scratched cornea they activated Justin Flint for this ballgame this is one of the values of Doug Williams with his athletic ability he can roll out there's no real talking for the passer he just rolled away from the pressure from the defensive front three and there's nobody standing between him and Rutger and it's an easy reception for 19 another reason the round secondary will have problems Lawrence Johnson the number two draft choice last year out for the year with a shoulder problem here's a quick pitch deck wrapped up behind the line of scrimmage by nose tackle Henry Bradley and drop for another yard or two lost Robert L Jackson was there to make it secure when the Browns are plain to run very strong they do in that 34 defenses as a defense it was originally designed to stop the pass but I think most teams have found that they have an extra linebacker in pursuit RL Jackson number 56 who fights off the block of number 61 Greg Roberts and makes the tackle one will allow Alzado for no game whatsoever that's that extra pursuer that the offense cannot account for Larry mucker and Isaac Higgins of the wide receivers second down and 11 only 135 yard line and Giles wide opened out of a 10 yard line Williams never saw 8 yards on the completion will be third down and three for Tampa Bay that double tight end set does a lot of things for Tampa Bay's offense and it really puts most defenses in a fine it distorts the defensive coverage of the defensive backs Jimmy Jones had an outside release on that play no one picked him up I'm sure that the Tampa Bay coaches who log all the place and Paul all the place for Doug Williams will keep that the back of their mind will only the second time in Tampa Bay Cleveland I've ever met at a football field back in 1976 the brownies one at twenty four to seven Williams would third down and three blitz throws up finally the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan reception was on Burrell a second-year man out of LSU and he's replacing Oliver Davis who was out with Annie look at this great move by Jones and he gets up the Beale with a little help from his friends Lyle Alzado the old man on that defensive line goes back to make the tackle Dixon catch him the year for Gordon Jones had only four coming into this game 20 yards on the play Gort Jones was also a superb punt return specialist at the University of Pittsburgh from the I formation to give again Jerry Eklund at the 10 pombles the ball is kicked out of bounds by Cleveland Lyle Alzado had his arms wrapped around the ball-carrier ecwid John good I believe inadvertently kicked the ball out of bounds Bob Tampa likes to run the ball from the i-formation Rickey Bell ran four years and said Southern California the i-formation look at Greg Roberts number 61 great speed for a big guy and that ball is just stripped from his arms watch Greg Robert sure the number one draft choice last year even though it was in the second round and he is six four and a half 260 and he takes on Don good neck wood right behind him and Alize toe strips into the ball and Tampa is lucky to still have him second down and four give ecwid in the fumble a gain of six yards Williams from the i-formation the up back is bellick what gets it again to about the five yard line he will be perhaps a little shy in the first down and very short yardage for Tampa Bay Detroit this going on Minnesota seven nothing that's the first quarter score and the Chicago Bears on a field goal lead the Pittsburgh Steelers who are struggling Bob Thomas 28 yards up and his 13 and a half point underdogs the Bears go on top Sam it appears that Tampa is going to try to feature Jerry ecwid today last week it was Ricky Bell's turn he carried the ball 15 times for 91 yards they made law that Cleveland offense to sleep and give it back to Bell for a big churner here they're dead less than a yard four down linemen the Vegas well into the pileup I don't know flag is down our first penalty marker the afternoon with 603 to go in a scoreless first quarter I don't know whether Bell got it or not with Jerry mark Breit is our referee and you see the discussion going on and it gives me time to tell you the rest of the crew offside against Tampa Bay so we know they didn't get the first down the umpire is at Fick the head linesman Dale Hamer mine judge is Bama glass the back judge Tom Kelleher the side judges Willie Spencer in the field judge bill Stanley so Cleveland elects to take the 5 yard walk off it'll be third down offside number 88 offense down that would be Jimmy Giles a tight in trying to get a good block on number 58 of the Cleveland Browns who is cliff Odum young man had a texas-arlington and he jumped a little bit and that's why I made a good block though it's third down and let's call it a long five to go for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers I'd look for Giles right here yeah one setback [Music] Larry marker number 87 the coverage there by Clinton Burrell can we jumped on Clinton Burrell a little earlier he had great coverage here on mucker no way was Doug Williams going to get this one in when he wants to fire it he can fire it but that's a great job by Burrell [Music] just off the fingertips and Cleveland as they have for posting the season so far avoided a touchdown in the early going of the game so Hiroya Prem Ian will attempt out of a Tom Blanchard hold from the 17 yard line 27 yard a tip [Applause] the kick by M from Ian is good and that would be Garros 1,000th career Floyd if the penalty is not against Tampa Bay but I believe it is offensive holding the preliminary signal by referee carry mark fight that will make it considerably more difficult now I can tell you what that is when they have up that's on the outside line of the scrimmage they're trying to protect the guys from rushing around the outside of blocking the field goal but occasionally a man will still farm the guy coming in to rush the rush the kicker and that's what it is polling number 27 exactly what he was mr. grumpy Tony Davis try to avoid long of that kick so now the attempt comes from the 27 makes it 37 yards and all you premiums booties up you cribbing it has done it twice in a row and barrel has reached the coveted 1000 mark in career points and being congratulated by his teammates more importantly to Tampa Bay they leave this football game free nothing five penalty to to go in the first quarter we'll be right back [Music] I told my Allstate agent I can't afford life insurance or job don't put marbles in the penny wrappers he told us about one of all states affordable life plans for a

kickoff returns last week but it's Dino Hall his time and he's hit and falls forward to about the 25-yard line o Neill Cole see the former Ohio State all-america is the man who made the stop but Dino Hall puts the Browns in business in their own 25 hey don't forget NBC brought it to television first the spectacular plays of memorable moments the World Series is back where it belongs beginning October 14th in primetime right here on NBC the way things are going in the National League we don't know who's gonna be there yet do our Saturday games are perhaps as exciting as the World Series will be the Browns second possession of the day from the i-formation crew with 43 in white 25 is Ozzie Newsome goes in motion the kitchen white 25 an out of bounds as he reaches the 27 yard line the Buccaneers with excellent penetration bill Koehler 77 is a man who knocked him out and good also good support by Mark Watney the strong safety of the Tampa Bay Bucs there's de la mole or joie de la mole or Jody five time off Pro taking on Dewey Selman grabbing a little shirt but didn't get caught with a fine fine player for the Buffalo Bills for a few years part of the electric company supply the juice for OJ we featured those two gentlemen in our pregame before a lavaliere endure yourself second down to call it apron Cleveland Rutger in motion this time with protection frozen eel intercepted by Marcotte me [Applause] strong safety in the National Football League and a great reaction to the ball off the hands of Rutger and cottony heads that's two for Rutger one he should have come back on there's no reason why Reggie Records should not have caught that and that's more characteristic of Tampa and it is of Cleveland normally very sure handed receivers and Reggie Rucker who has played the game for 11 years very seldom drops a pass like that that's an easy pass not difficult he's almost standing still and a good interception by cocking Tampa's ball Cecil Johnson had the coverage green up the Tampa Bay was the first big break and look at this the Bengals beat Pittsburgh last Sunday jump on top of Houston plane without Earl Campbell and Curley come today seven of the first quarter here it's three nothing Buccaneers and they're really working on Clinton Burrell Bob and Sam that's the exact same play that they completed earlier that half roll out by Doug Williams takes away the real pass rush of the Cleveland Browns and he has an open lane to a receiver and all Gordon Jones has to do is with enough acceleration get Clinton Burrell off a little bit good set up by Doug Williams he just flicks it for about 17 yards on the reception third catch of the day for Gordon Jones he came into this game with just poor reception and the Buccaneers offense which totals 442 yards against Dallas hoping to it certain assert itself now first down at the 15 no the gibbous tan and the brown stop rule I was but the brown defense was not her L was there as was dick Ambrose number 52 great person my heroes all arrested linebackers of Cleveland this telecast is presented by a bill imagine of football they intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written consent of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football League is prohibited Jimmy Giles Jim obradovich the two tight ends up second down and nine Gordon Jones 84 Isaac Bell in the backfield and the pitch to hit inside the 10 to about the 8 Giles leading the way and running from the full-back when Burrell was there along with Don good but not before he got to the 8 yard line where it'll be third down in about three for Tampa Bay look at this alignment Isles leading the way in a real tough cookie back there but Morel makes a good play to slow it down and good makes a good tackle what makes a good tackle is that right please see that student body left very characteristic of John McKay's days at USC pull everybody with the head coach to see who can't get him in front of the running back Ricky Bell by the way was the worst Russia last year 40 [Music] Terry Bradshaw at Jimmy Smith 21 yards this is third down and three Rickey Bell first and in power into the end zone but it may be holding it is against Tampa Bay and the Browns get a break no doubt in their mind that was holding on tampabay either they threw the flag and knew what it was immediately might have been race Nell the guard pulling out rookie first round draft choice out of Wisconsin on the pole if it's not Al apologize here's referee Jerry mark Brett holy [Music] I'm sorry he recently acquired tied-in they now have three with Giles of radevich and Rucker and Rutger costs the Buccaneers a touchdown so it's now third down thirteen for Tampa Bay and a completely different situation incidentally John McKay and Bill Nelson the quarterback votes called every play for Tampa Bay the duck Williams has enforced the right to audible eyes if he wishes Gary Davis in the backfield Williams looking in the end zone throws it down feel that it's almost caught good defensive play by Clarence Scott he was intended for the tight end Jimmy Giles and that's normally Williams will go through in a situation like that has gotten with a good company whereas God has no easy guy to beat by NFL standards he started out his career as a cornerback last year was his first year at strong safety and he's one of the few strong safeties that can stay up with a guy like Jimmy child good time for Williams to throw it he looks around the field and when in doubt try to get it the Giles good coverage by Clarence got who as Sam told you was playing with a scratched cornea no that's dark excuse me dark yes here's Gary Leah premiums attempted appeal go 35 yard field goal is kicked three today only two of the counted but it's a six nothing football game you Crimean 37 and 35 yards and the Miami Dolphin cast-off is found a home here in Central Florida we'll be back

listings this flyer Gumbel in New York at rich Stadium in Buffalo the Bills have taken a 7-nothing lead over the Raiders Curtis Brown from four yards out completing an 81 yard scoring drive at 7 let's go back to Tamra and Sam no thank you Bryant Gumbel's very much so the bills apparently are for real at least at this point ladies seven up in here we have a six dumping Tampa Bay lead over the Cleveland Browns Jarrell you Prem Ian field goals of 37 and 35 yards although they should have had seven there bub loosing the touchdown on the holding call to Konrad Rucker the kick Dino Hall number 26 in his three yard line 15 to the 20 takes a hit and moves ahead to the 25-yard line and Dino Hall he might be the smallest man in the American Football Conference in five seven 165 but he's a tough cookie out of Glassboro State and he puts the Browns back in there 25 yard line 22 yards on the return Sam almost 11 minutes have expired in his first quarter the Cleveland Browns have generated four yards of offense and this is their third possession their defense is only allowed six points so there too bad a shake but this is a very then all sorts of buff they kept tampa bay at bay throws it out in the flat and cropped out there by charles wife he was all alone that is three straight drop passes that should not have been dropped Brian Sipe number four in the AFC and passing at the moment I've touched down masses completing 59% of his aerials and there had been some speculation in Cleveland perhaps still is that he's got a sore arm but I think he dispelled some of those reports against Kansas City last week 23 of 36 for 295 and two touchdowns sight to throw it again there's a man wide open Gordon grumped again a little more difficult catch by Mike Pruitt out of the backfield the coverage by Norris Thomas 41 but he was late getting there and Pruett just couldn't hold on they really looked disjointed out there the Cleveland Browns Mike Brown and Mike Pruitt has not carried the ball yet today Brian Sipe not set to throw it drew it trying to come back to catch it not even close I can't imagine what the problem is here's Newsome it tight in heating held up very well by Lewis and that's a good defense against the great pass receiver bite Ozzie Newsome nickel defense on 30 Danny he needs 10 yards to keep the football slightly down field has a man look he after he caught the ball Verna's Jordan was their number 25 Norris Thomas 41 also and David Logan is down so nothing has gone right offensively for the Cleveland Browns with 347 to go first quarter now three possessions for Cleveland and still only four yards on offense he had plenty of time to throw the ball here this is a very very big defense by the Tampa Bay Bucs I wonder it really gives you headaches you know that that Curtis Jordan on the hit at six to 205 fifth year out of Texas jack and Logan is still down and he's no small fry either I wonder why Brian Sipe wouldn't try to run with the ball there to bring the linebackers up a little bit to give those receivers a little chance in that defensive backfield as I was saying there Tampa Bay's linebackers and defensive backs collectively I don't think anybody can argue the point with me that they are the biggest in the NFL I won't argue with you logan is up off under his own power and that's good news Johnny Evans will punt it to Danny Reece who set an NFL record last year was 70 punt returns I think he only had one fair catch and zero fumbles and 70 returns averaging of little over six yards per return but the important thing is it Reese gives Tampa Bay that security of catching the football you know he's not gonna cough it up it's also interesting that the team it was ten and six still had 70 was correct at number one defense in the NFL number one against passing the number four against rush one total six pounding fury of Bremen two field goals Evans a snap from center and gets off a little better pump fist on his first one traveled 39 yards reach hazard to the 38 yard line as he gains a couple of yards on the return and again Tampa Bay will have excellent field position down beyond the make the stop number 26 Dino Hall of 42-yard punt by Evans five yards on the return and got wood we'll put his offense back into gear hey don't forget thirsty at 8 o'clock Eastern Time here on NBC it's games people play you'll see the exciting soapbox derby the candies demo derby I gotta see this one round 2 of the PJ remember my disc jockey days that's all Thursday night at 8 o'clock Eastern Time right here on NBC down there Rickey Bell it is the ball-carrier not ecwid Clinton Burrell knocked him out of bounds number 49 a gain of a couple of yards second down and eight now for Tampa Bay once again employing guards of the Tampa Bay Bucs student body a left the offensive tackle number 73 Charlie Hanna converted defensive player and Greg Roberts up there in front he puts a kiss on Don good but for no gain leaving Brown defenses doing a fine job holding Tampa at just six points they've totally dominated this first quarter the offerings generating just [Applause] second down is solid eight to go for Tampa Bay from their 41 yard line and Sun Hagen's in motion and again looking for the hole to clear at the 45 of Cleveland hole but a penalty marker back at the line of scrimmage and you may have seen it fly right into your pitcher as Ricky Bell looking for that whole kind of freelance he found it but may have got some illegal help 17 yards on the - but it's coming back folks you see Ricky Bell cut back against the grain here and that's the design of the offense you have one guy who tries to cut off all that pursuit in Ricky Bell with enough speed and agility to get back up in that hole but for not holding number 50 offense second now it's been a different player every time today that was Steve Wilson the center in his fifth year out of Georgia Buffalo has scored again joke cribs on a one-yard run you saw Curtis Browns touchdown run with Bryant Gumbel moments ago they scored again 14 nothing Buffalo leads Oakland that is early in the second quarter here at second down 17 3 23 to go 1st quarter Tampa Bay 6 the Cleveland Browns nothing Williams with good time throws it out in the flat Jerry went out of bounds up around the 38 yard line so he got him back homos with the original line of scrimmage and Williams is not pleased about something Bob yes but he we talked to him yesterday while we were down here in the stadium very engaging young man and he really encourages his teammates he doesn't get down on him he really doesn't get after him because they drop a lot of passes he's one of their real leaders out there and with his basic football skills he'll lead this team to a lot of victories as you look at him again continuation to the New York Giants problems they were blasted by Philadelphia last week it's 14 nothing the Rams they're down to ten in motion to take ins again this time rolling left Williams all day throws it over the middle caught for the first down around the 49 yard line he react went out of the backfield and I made it been a little bit premature it depends on where they spot the wood wall but that will be close to a Tampa Bay first a variation on the same role Tampa Bay Bucs obviously feeling that they might get pressure up front up the middle by the Cleveland Browns defensive front three or maybe four trying to avoid a blitz by linebacker instead of showing it the mucker out on the flat he just throws it to peck wood over the middle I think you were right it was a first down 40 yard touchdown pass to Ahmad Rashad Minnesota in Detroit tied at 7 and the Vikings have always given the Lions a great deal of difficulty and nothing different today in the Motor City shot as always given everyone trouble you're right and if Detroit loses that'll be their first their 3 and OH this year too 245 to go on a moving block in the first quarter Sam go horn Bob from P 95 degrees with 80% humidity here in Tampa morale made the saving tackle tampabay first down 27 yards on the reverse to Isaac Hagen and beautifully set up by camp up a nobody knew what was happening happening and you know who one of the lead blockers was Doug Williams was trying to get out there there's the center Sanders there Wilson excuse me and if Jones had gotten a good block on Clinton Burrell I think he would have scored but he missed his block will certainly open it up more indeed Tampa Bay's been down here twice before they've had to come away with two field goals their third opportunity from the i-formation Ricky Bell an equi to the running backs and to give decklid bounces off one man and reaches at 21 yard line let's go to New York at NFL 84 an update with Bryant Gumbel Thank You Sammy over at rich Stadium in Buffalo the Bills have scored again this time going in from one yard out it's Joe Crimson for looking to fix the touchdown of the year the bills are out in front 14 nothing we go back to Tampa Sando Thank You Brad very much six nothing Tampa Bay leading and looking for more have a second down and six of the 21 Cleveland [Music] Matt bar a 19-yard field goal Pittsburgh now leads the Chicago Bears 10 to 3 the up back is Ricky Bell for a couple of yards spinning in the grasp of Lyle Alzado Ambrose made the initial hit but Alzado had his arms wrapped around the ball carrying a third down you know it's interesting how Champa Bay at time says Ricky Ville at tailback and the times ahead of them at fullback it's got to confuse the defense somewhat because there's an entirely different series of plays that they can run with either back at that spot I think the opinion Bob but those people around Tampa Bay is that Bell is far more effective as a tailback than he isn't up back but with the injury to Johnny Davis he hasn't been able to play anywhere else another interesting thing to when Rickey Bell is playing the tailback they getting the ball about seven or eight yards deep so we can defensive line of scrimmage third and three double tight and great defensive play by Alzado closed him down and stopped him shy of the first down the elvis franks 94 as the man who made the stop but it was Alzado who turned Ricky Bell back and prevented Tampa Bay from getting the first down and they can't score down there Alzado the veteran that he is even though the defense is having problems of giving points and are not about to give up easily here in Tampa and so garel you premium will have to be content with a third field goal from the 24 yard line he'll have to do it in the next quarter however because time has elapsed 6-nothing Buccaneers they'll fire a field goal after this in my shower be a waste of money renting from tato rental centers saves money painter wrench practically everything for parties industry and contractors and lawns and gardens and fixing and building floor maintenance and more throughout brewing history there have been few beers so exceptional they stand in a class by themselves for it's a rare moment when both the finest ingredients and the skill of the brewer come together such a moment has been captured in Erlanger one look one sip one taste will tell you this is a classic [Music] out here the colon is brutal but what better pleased to tell you about peak antifreeze and coolant chicas liquid-armor against sub-zero cold against rust against corrosion this winter by peak protection because nothing top welcome back to Tampa Bay Sam Dover and Bob Trumpy and during that timeout John McKay the head coach of the fluxes had a change of heart there will be no field goal attempt on 4th and 2 they will go for it at the 16 yard line of Cleveland has sent back to Davis 38 in Bell 40 to Doug Williams rolling right throws a pass and he's intercepted and dropped by Ron Bolton with the Browns of hell and they didn't fool anybody because the deep end penetrated on Doug Williams extremely well the intended receiver was Isaac Higgins but the Browns did a job I think they've been so successful this player the first quarter you see Robert Hale Jackson coming in and pressuring Doug Williams I think there was an option play where they wanted him to get outside him either pass or run and Jackson took away the option of running by Doug Williams and no play good coverage by Burrell I told him not Jackson with a great job and great coverage too the oldest duty in the defensive unit on first down they gave us to Pruit feet ten yards through the middle and he reaches the 25-yard line Cecil Johnson is a man who made the stop but that is more yardage in one carry than the Browns amassed in the entire first quarter they now have ten yards total offense to 154 Tampa and it's still only a six nothing football game so the Browns are in it Dave Logan goes wide left Reggie Rucker to the right nihlus Adams number 80 is now in there that one wide receivers not replacing Walker to give up horse down baby stop I'm proving again so Bob Trumpy question early on why Mike Bruin had carried the ball in here in the second quarter when they come out with Mike Bruins mice in a row and they finally get their first first down of the ballgame last week Sam Rutigliano prior to the ballgame told his players are they were going to air it out throw it I think they tried a little too much in the first quarter and they may be going back to their basic game plan and that is cru it was a great rusher for them last year you can't go away from somebody who was that valuable Brewer got the first down they spot the ball just shy of the 29 yard line and lots of motion on the Browns office it's Adams this time and white goes the opposite way the gain of about a yard bill colder ran him out but you know who made the play don't you number 57 David Lewis who at 64 245 and his fourth year out of Southern Cal it's got to be some mean stud on the field Sam did you notice when Charles White went out of bounds that they were poor Tampa Bay Bucs in pursuit to get him out of bounds this is a very very good defense watch this play they string it out along the line of scrimmage they stay on their feet and there's Dewey Selman bill Koehler 25 Jordan all out there to make the tackle if he tries to cut it up I'll tell you when Charles White gets it football [Laughter] good path for the first day he completes it the Willis atoms and atoms to the 45-yard line in Cleveland now has nukes existed first down since I passed him on the moon and I do think that Norris Thomas was guessing on that expecting will exams to go outside he just went up stopped in sight hitting New Orleans has taken a six-nothing lead over Miami Benny Ricardo with field goals of 33 and 36 yards so the Dolphins in Miami trailing six nothing here it's six nothing with Tampa Bay leading Cleveland but the Browns have their best drive of the day with 1305 to go in the second quarter that's Adams in motion Pruitt for a yard do he Selman beats him head on and stands him up and David Lewis the outside linebacker number 57 is also there you know Bob you and I've done a number of games over the last three years but I have never seen a more interesting roster in my entire life of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they have three Davis's Tony Gary and Johnny they've got dual Ian Lee Roy Selmon of course they've got Aaron and Cedric Brown they've got Larry mucker and Konrad Rucker they've got the brothers of Charles Hanna and George Jarno they've got a Reggie in a David Lewis they've got a coach named Bill Johnson in a player for named Cecil Johnson ears sight throwing it out in the flat and it's caught out of bounds logan 85 caught the ball out of bounds glad to see he's back in the lineup the im2 one of the most consistent receivers for the cleveland browns over the last few years he's already got 10 catches for 120 yards in one TV and he is caught passes in 27 straight games this will be his 28th if he catches one I'm sure Brian safe will try to get it to him very interesting rod for you you weren't impressed at all nickel defense Danny Reese's v defensive back third an eight for Brian site [Music] avoids the run whoops one down feel the Logan at the 30 25 steel on his feet and out of bounds inside the 20-yard line sight with great touch his loft at the ball into the empty spot in the zone finding the scene was David Logan 32 yards on the region one of the things that I think Brian Sipe has to do is not hold on to that pocket as much as he has in the first quarter get out there and scramble a little bit because it appears that Tampa Bay covering the normal pass routes of the Cleveland Browns receivers is not going to have a chance here you see him running out a little bit and there's Logan and Rucker was a little bit deeper he appeared to be open so did Newsome oh they're getting it together here so Logan now has extended that consecutive catching spree cold reception straight to 28 games it's first down the Browns at the Tampa Bay 22 Rucker in motion play-action force I began looking downfield dumps it off in the flat Charles white and he's knocked out of bounds inside the 20 yard line David Lewis met him head-on couple of former Southern California stars it'll be a gain of maybe a yard or two for Charles white second down and eight for Sun [Music] you see that thing on Brian Sykes right elbow you camera there it is the black thing on his elbow that's for Keith on his a who has bone chips in there he also revealed last week that he had a broken navicular bone in his left wrist which was made famous by Joe Namath the season regarding it was on sites left me in this passing second down and seven swift back sir why did Bruin and to give 15-yard line knocked back do we sell the number 58 was not fooled so it'll be third down now Forsythe but he has a big decision to make you talk about doing someone being a football player I got one for you too he is also studying for a doctorate in ancient philosophy I'm not sure I can use that on the football field I would doubt it but I got another one for you two down with a player named Dave stalls who they acquired from Cleveland on waivers and he is working toward a master's degree in marine biology especially in shark behavior real doctorates on the New York Giants having their troubles 21-nothing Rams site back to Pats on third down Rose went out in the flattened way control knob and a woulda made the difference excellent coverage by Cecil Johnson who was not fooled at all and so on fourth down an apparent field goal attempt for Don Cochran who just last Sunday himself went over a thousand career points as Guerra yup Remy and is done today Sam he just ran onto the field and tripped you see him limping right now he just ran on the field and slipped and I think his knee just popped out a joint on him who you seem down on his knee there yes indeed I swear to you it came out on the field and lift I saw him prior to the game he was talking to the doctor and the doctor said how is it feeling he said well it's alright but it just left me and he felt there was a timeout your biggest lyric he has popped his knee out of joint would he run like that if that was the case if it's a trick football need yes look I'll bet he goes right straight to the trainer life what do you felt when he ran on the field I thought he just caught his foot in the grass but no his knee has popped out of joint so the Cleveland Browns have been forced to take a timeout here Don Cockroft with his Bop trophy has so perfectly described to you apparently was a knee that popped out of joint and now walking around a little bit now that it's not his kicking leg but it's obviously the leg that he braces all his weight up exactly and that's the one that's the most important last week he missed he only made one of three field goals he missed two also missed an extra point everybody's been it blows Cincinnati over Houston into nothing let's try to make it two straight he and Sutter speaking of field goals 26 yard out Jack Thompson to Don Bosch 12 yard touchdown pass might be fun for you and our director Kent pots to go home this week very proud of our Bengals this year this is going to be a very interesting field goal Cockroft will attempt from the 25 it'll be 35 yards Paul McDonald holds the kick is up and it is good until Don Cockroft bad left knee and all the flag is down or is it not know Bianca off flipping off the field but he's made good I'm the 35-yard field goal attempt there is no penalty marker rounds around the board here it's a six to three football game here are your premium six Don Cockroft three we'll be back in a moment how do folks feel when they service their cars with Napa brand parts satisfied on top of the world listen to it just listen to it I did it and no parts left over lots of Napa brand parts are better than a cars original parts and using quality parts produces results that make folks feel great on the name is Knepper the standard is quality the financial climate can change at a moment's notice so you look for

breed apart [Music] Hatchin John check out some wild fraternity stunts and learn a shocking secret about a fellow officer we've been hearing some weird stories about you lately all new chips Sunday so a 65 yard drive in 11 plays 3 minutes and 42 seconds of elapsed time and Cockroft with the bad left knee that Bop Trumpy described as having probably popped out a joint gets the field goal what happens if he goes down I think Johnny Evans is her backup kicker but I'm not really sure and he's not really a place kickers here's cross kick Gary Davis number 28 that is 7 yard line to the 20 puts his head down at about the 23 yard line of down he goes Ricky meteor number 83 whose hometown isn't far from Tampa Florida an 18 yard return by Gary Davis teacher out of Mississippi Valley hails from this area Sam let me say something about Don Cockroft here if he has popped his knee at a joint if he sits on the sidelines for 30 minutes or so and tries to come back I think he's gonna have a great deal of difficulty if Johnny Evans asked to be the backup place kicker I don't know what they're gonna they try to tape his knee but still the pressure on that knee when he tries to place Vick is going to cause him a great deal of discomfort 1104 to go in the first half more importantly the Browns who have had their backs to the wall throughout the first quarter are only down by three points the defense kept them in their neck woods uncovered Williams looking out in the flat throws a pass almost intercepted he tried to get it to ecwid but way late Ron Bolton had time to react and got his hands on the ball and deflected it away that was close no one went with heck would at all on motion outside so it'll be second down to ten now for Doug Williams and he is an interesting young manager mentioned Bob Weah spent some time with him yesterday he was a subject of a of a short report on NFL ad our pregame show there have been some words down here have there not we get a minute on let's say something about it three Tampa Bay and the quick pitch outside lag is down is Rickey Bell picks up about seven or eight yards finally knocked out of bounds by Marshall Harris number 90 and Robert al Jackson the ever-present 56 but this may also be holding against Tampa Bay and they have had a pleat upholding calls today how many is a pleat oh I'd say at least four or five okay we got a minute here let me say something about Doug Williams last week in Dallas his coach was very critical of the press here's the call by Jerry Mark bright holding number 43 muffets let's watch this hold by Jerry Atwood and then we'll write a tackling and a good tackle - I - but it won't show up in the defensive stats it'll show up as a penalty fifteen ten yards and Tampa now in trouble I'll get to Doug Williams I'll get the Doug Williams second down at 17 the ball now back at the 17 yard line at Tampa Bay Gary Wilkinson number 70 replacing Alzado if he vented right handed Bill Cowher is in there one of the linebackers needs some fresh troops pass out of the flat good defensive play by Bolton again as he had the coverage on Isaac Higgins 81 at Bolton is play enough outstanding football game Tampa's had good success on the other side of the field against Clinton Burrell and no success at all against Ron Bolton let's pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is WKYT v3 television home of the Browse Sam Dover Bop trophy were in Tampa Florida Tampa stadium a capacity crowd 72,000 126 and you see the score the Buccaneers on Shapiro you've Libyan field goals won by John Cockcroft at Cleveland it's 6 to 3 it's been the great Cleveland defense Browns in the ball game here's a third and long for William Rose the home run [Applause] the kiss of death didn't I just talked about how well Ron Bolton was played and you know what he had him covered completely lost sight of the football and in desperation grabbed ahold of his foot I don't think Kevin House would have made up the yardage to catch the football so the Buccaneers get out of trouble and get an outstanding break they'll have it around the 41 yard line interference number 28 defense first down I don't think Kevin House even with his outstanding speed could have got to this ball Bolton does not see the ball that ball is a good 5 yards over his head I don't think he would have caught it but in desperation save the reception of the touchdown take the penalty that's 42 yard penalty it's better than the punt for the Buccaneers send Gordon Jones wide left Isaac Higgins to the right Bell 42 and Johnny Davis 38 Davis hasn't carried the ball yet play-action Williams wops it all he's got [Applause] that ball was thrown 35 yards on a line between two receivers right to the hands of Gordon Jones that is absolutely a great pass and a good touch I think you'll be able to see this all the way King Fouts has got it for us look at that I got on the inside of him in a guy on the outside of him closing fast he throws it right on the number an excellent pass and believe me that kid can throw the football free safety Tom Darden getting there Clinton Burrell's coverage as your premium kicks it up and he puts it through the uprights so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 1034 to go first half have scored the game's first touchdown their lead is now 10 and you look at it again 41 yards on the touchdown pass to Gordon Jones let me right back [Music] you know I love the fresh clean smell of barley cuz I can almost taste the Schlitz beer I'm gonna make from it I'm Frank Sellinger recently I came to Schlitz as chief executive mostly I check on the business end but after 40 years as a master brewer I checked the barley - and the other fine grains to make a really

fever as the best in the web plus coverage of the crucial matchup as the race for the pennant goes down to the wire check local listings not bad stats and we haven't even reached the ten-minute mark of the second port of Doug Williams having one whale of a day the big touchdown pass to Gordon Jones Jones did catch it but that was an exceptional pass thrown by Doug Williams on a line for about 41 yards there's 30 seconds Dino Hall on this return to about the 24 yard line Keith Lloyd has not returned to kickoff yet today he had a 50-yarder that really got the Browns in business to beat Kansas City last Sunday also had a 100 yard that was called back when he stepped out of bounds we have a flag down here at the 40 yard line back in the kicking teams 40 yard line which would be Tampa Bay and Sam Don Cochran did not kick that ball off I did not see who kicked it off but it wasn't Cochran and a reminder to that this is a big what's wrong this is a better I don't forget what you think this is a big NBC a doubleheader day coming up next we invite outside number 20 on the kicking team recheck the down SPO cozy we invite you to watch one of these two games some of you will see Seattle and Washington of course the New York Jets will be at Baltimore in another NBC's double-header day this is the first half of two football games for most of you I'll bet you Don Cockroft doesn't kick this one off either you're probably right well it's hot down here is even hot kaput yeah I've done that before so from the 30-yard line and the Browns now try to get a little bit better field position and I would think get the hands and to get the ball into Keith's right hands why wouldn't you change positions between him and Dino Hall then because permian seems to be kicking into the right side whether by accident or on purpose well they haven't disguised anything back there let's see what happens yup remian from his 30 kicks it it'll be Dino Hall again at the 10-yard line to the 20 25 across the 32 about the 32 yard line and dragged down there by number 46 Danny Reese was everywhere not only the Nickelback punt return man but excellent on coverage on the special teams for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers so from the 34 yard line the Browns will go to work trailing 13 to 3 and Cypress gonna have to answer mr. Williams touchdown fast in some manner because I think the heat will tell on the Cleveland Brown defense in the later stages the second issue are right there when you come down here and play a football game in the second half it does 43 in white its Charles who gets to borrow 50 for Richard wood in his sixth year out of Southern California another friend not necessarily a former teammate but another alumnus of Southern Cal nicknamed Batman but on the defensive line of scrimmage Lee Roy Selmon the secretary of defense duck deacon blocking him and Leroy that time is nowhere to be found great play by Doug deacon as he buries the NFL defensive player of the 1979 season in a pile of about 9:00 for Cleveland site play-action has all day to throw the ball throws it down feel that it's caught beautifully at the 50-yard line by Reggie Rucker who came back for that one and also caught it in a crowd mark cottony the strong safety made the hit as the ball got there that was the hard one to catch and he dropped the easy one 16 yards on the reception Cleveland is giving Sam plenty of time to throw the football here but good coverage by Tampa lost this one good well-timed good cats good concentration first down Cleveland plane without Earl Campbell Ronnie Coleman has gone in from a yard out and the Houston Oilers around the board still trailing Cincinnati 10 7 at riverfront in Cincy quick pitch out here caught by number 83 Ricky feature and down he goes Cecil Johnson the linebacker made to stop but an excellent first plate her first down call by Brian's side pinging up seven or eight yards and what they're doing is just having the receivers go down five or six yards and stop and Cypress hitting the linebackers on Tampa Bay are not getting underneath that bass so they're taking what Tampa will give them it would be very hard for Tampa Bay's defense to duplicate its performance of last year in which they were number wanted defense in the NFL but there are those who think that they are not even close to last year's defensive unit Bob well basically the same personnel exception of that nose man would Crowder out of changes at defense Selman is a man who made the stop on the ball carrier Mike Pruitt in it I think it's a good time to mention the fact Randy Crowder was not playing good nose tackle when he went down for the year with a knee injury against the Rams he was playing outstanding those tackled and while Dave Logan has played very well in his place he's not Randy Crowder you're right and he is a new person in that defense and that no spot is not a very easy spot for anyone to play and Crowder was very used to it he was a big part of that defense they have reached halftime Buffalo McNichol Meyer put the finishing touches on a great first half of the bills on their way to a porno record field goal from 30 yards inside the 40 to the 38 yard line runs into Richard wood 54 through safety quarters a Curtis Jordan number 25 and they make the stop there but I believe that should be good enough for a Cleveland first down and the Browns now with 721 to go in a moving clock accelerating the offense starting to get things going again being a little more patient trying to gain some ground on the are a great gain some yards on the ground instead of just throwing it every time [Music] side bun first down back to pass again throws it out of the flat it's gone 30 yard line goes bike through it Cecil Johnson and Mike Washington had the coverage but another excellent first down call by Brian Sipe who is going to the air taking the short outs you look at it that's a PPC my crew comer right this way go right into your lap Bob I can catch that one I can catch that one but catching it's not the hard part that's the hard part right there producer michael happening at the right man isolated on that tub through at 43 a gain of about nine yards second down one they stole 65 arrest for Tampa Bay Charles White may have lost the half a yard they did not get it and a questionable call by site why the Dean Pinchot second in one well what they try to do is pull the guard out quick and get up underneath that outside linebacker I don't there's nothing wrong with that call whatsoever it's just that Cecil Johnson made an outstanding play to stop it you see you see de la mole or pulling he's supposed to kick out that linebacker and white get up underneath Cecil Johnson has made a super play along with Richard wood but it's third down and two they lost the yard in for extra blocking for the brown wide receivers Adams play-action foresight he's got a man it's open for the first down of the 26 yard line Dewey Selman and Mark Putney made the stuff but the rookie free agent out of Tennessee State with a big reception Brian Sipe for the excellent way action menu good call you're absolutely right Sam good play-action fake hell those linebackers in there allowed Bowden - just get far enough down the field for a first down watch this fake that's the way they do it in college and it's got a plenty of time to watch wait for him to open up another first down Cleveland I like this drive by Brian sight he has really engineered an excellent Drive debate 25 and the Buccaneers leading 13 to 3 site Watts all of it throws it down the middle by Ricki Rucker who went high in the air again in front of Kurtis Jordan and it'll be first down and goal to go for the brown and Seif has been a master in this drive 17 yards on that catch and now it appears that the Cleveland offense is in sync in the first quarter nowhere close to being on target and a good catch by record good concentration 17 yard is not about to give up we're going to give their defense a little rest you're talking about an offense and scored only 24 points in its first two games 20 against Kansas City they have yet to explode but they have a veteran offensive group and a young man in Brian's a fool the ground a great move by Charles White the Browns are back in the game again and you don't teach them how to do that shit'll dippy made up the field and then went out around joe de la Malir set up his own block watch this play number 64 out of your screen now but we'll come back in a good block also by Pruitt and watch de la mole or takes on Norris Thomas and he just gets a couple of feet in the end zone and that's all you need well after not doing much in his first two games I would say Charles Boyd has had a rather auspicious third game and an first half here today so far living up to that Highsmith trophy and first round draft choice billing his third professional touchdown the extra point attempt on Cockcroft is up and good so Don is apparently alright at least for the extra point and the Cleveland Browns have made a football game of it for 39 to go first half Charles white be 8 yard touchdown Robertson at about 450 accord this is one of the most expensive motor oils in the world or is it if you drive 25,000 miles a year the money you

Carrie trs-80 power in your pocket while on the job solve problems process data and store it in permanent memory for instant recall the amazing trs-80 pocket computer only at RadioShack the biggest name in little computers plays five and a half minutes off the clock a brilliant drive by Brian Sipe climax with the aid yard run by Charles Lloyd nothing cheap either nope Don Cockroft will kick off so as of yet the left knee has not stiffened and if you joined us late Cockcroft what appeared to slip on the grass as he came on for his first field goal it just tripped or something and it looked like his knee went completely out of joint but obviously in some pain still limping Gary Davis number 28 standing back at his own poor yard line and Cockroft with a good high kick Davis at his 8 yard line to the 15th the former Miami Dolphins trying to get outside and he reaches a 23 yard line and it's snowed under there by a host of Browns right there all downfield and getting off the bottom is number 20 Justin dozen added to the roster today number one a first-year man on a Memphis State normally played with the New England Patriots Sam to this point in the game the Tampa Bay Bucs have 200 yards of total offense and the Cleveland Browns have 136 that's all in the second quarter with the exception of the four yards they got in their first play so from the 23 Doug Williams goes back to work again he's unofficially 9 for 15 238 yards and a touchdown strike to Gordon Jones throws it out in the flat he completes this one to Jones out of bounds up around the 28 yard line Gordon Jones catches on the day already here in the first half and he only had four going into the game and they do not throw to the router side receivers a great deal does Tampa Bay they'd normally throw the ball to the tight end or to the running back in what they say could be the swan song for Bart Starr at Green Bay Tony Dorsett a one-yard run Dallas 7 the pack nothing and some say if Bart doesn't win today he's done Tampa Bay Eakins and pucker the outside receivers in the give is to Gerry Eck wood for nothing may have lost the yard and the Browse defense continuing to play tough Lyle Alzado was there he always plays tough you have to admire that Browns deep defense to missing Gerry sure cutter there he's still having tremendous knee problems after the staph infection and also in knee surgery and they're playing very tough defense of course he Alzado deal with the Denver Broncos his foul known he was acquired for a number two and a number five draft choice this year a number three choice and 81 its identity then perused those choices to draft rule and Jones it'll be a couple of years before you can make a judgement on that deal over the middle [Applause] the Browns it was intended for Jimmy Giles on third down and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to kick it away Tom Blanchard will come on to do the punting and if all goes well for Cleveland they should get the ball back in fairly good field position Cleveland on the Blitz that being single coverage to see jaws in your picture he stands there and Larry Scott has a chance to get his hand in on the ball right you come back for it I know it's easy to say that up here that's what the coaches will tell him on Tuesday come back for the balls here's a game breaker 89 Keith Wright as you look at Blanchard about to kick it right is a particularly outstanding kick return man 28 for his average his third best of the AFC for returning kicks pumps a little bit different but he can break right has it at the 26 all still on his feet tremendous balance he was lucky to come up with a ball and he's in the 23 yard line where Norris Thomas finally knocked him down but they've tried to reverse to do avail Cleveland has the ball a 46-yard clock any yard return look at it again a negative three of the return will return to tamp adjustable what makes this truck different from any other truck you can rent the name of it rider

it to television first the spectacular plays the memorable moments the World Series is back where it belongs beginning October 14th on NBC our cameras here in Tampa capturing the Tampa International Airport not far from Tampa stadium there's a good panoramic view of the downtown area of Tampa into the sea of orange here in Tampa stadium 72,000 watching the Buccaneers league 13 to 10 322 to go third or second quarter spans are very quiet but I think they're conserving their energy worth repeating 95 degrees in about 80% humidity they're all going to go probably to the same swimming pool when this is over which is Tampa Bay so the Cleveland Browns with 322 to go on the clock the Steelers have finally blown that game wide open they trail three nothing but Terry Bradshaw has thrown three touchdown passes to Jim Smith in the absence of the injured John Stoll and New Orleans with another Benny Ricardo field goal now leading Miami nine nothing at Miami here it's 13 to 10 the Browns down by three Charles blow flag a flag is down in a Cleveland backfield roughing the passer but I'll tell you what that was close to a lateral as opposed to a pass Dave Logan the nose tackle number 76 coming late on Seif around the head and that may be the reason for the flood that's what the penalty is for no longer go to the quarterback sighs eight of sixteen hundred and three yards in one interception so far number 76 [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] I believe that the first time day of Logans number has been called today and a rather inauspicious call at bat roughing the passer taking Brian Sipe out of deep trouble second and 10 at his own 23 and the pitch comes to Mike Pruitt flag is down as Pruitt is run out of bounds of the line of scrimmage but we may have an offside against Tampa Bay and it may be Logan again who's having an not so good series and Greg throw it in the ballgame for the first time he's played very sparingly so far this season and coming back from knee surgery you can see that he's favoring his left knee a little bit doesn't really drive through the block on number 56 Cecil Johnson Cecil Johnson is out there for the tackle here's referee Jerry marked right with that offside call against Tampa I can read his lips even though his mic isn't working at 76 Dave Logan two successive penalties against Logan he's out of the lineup now replaced by Mike Calhoun and his first year on a Notre Dame John McKay takes a tall pool in there two refreshing relax for a moment and the Browns try to take advantage of Tampa Bay mistakes Rickey feature in motion sight as a man wide open it's great fluidity almost made a great catch as he found the seam in the zone and Sipe lofted the ball very nicely but overthrown by just a hair I just couldn't jump up his right knee and that's the injured knee that's the one he's favoring it seems looking slightly still trying to come back Sam Rutigliano has been very patient with Greg cruet here - over the last five or six years been their their best running back last year with that knee surgery Mike Pruitt emerged and you can see he's still favoring him but he was open here's our first score in the Philadelphia st. Louis game and what a surprise it is Carl Allen has returned to Ron Jaworski interception 70 yards the Cardinals lead the Eagles 7 nothing that's the windless Cardinals against the undefeated Eagles in st. Louis Bryant Gumbel will have all the scores in highlight for you at halftime on NFL eight here's a pitch over the middle it's complete a flag is down Calvin Hill being run down by Cecil Johnson from behind but it may come back there are three markers down on the field after sight through beautifully to his running back Calvin Hill for the first down holding against Cleveland and in this situation Tampa Bay has gone up or down linemen to ABAB using Kohler stalls Calhoun and Selman taking out their inside linebackers in the nickel defense oh it's a four to five the defensive we saw in Houston last Sunday as you well know played almost to perfection [Applause] get it together Jerry change the punchline Jerry change the punchline he's got a great sense of humor oh he's gonna oh I see he's gonna give him more yard he apparently didn't walk off an up yardage the first time only walked off five now site once to talk it over but Jerry's gonna tell us first polling number 73 offense disregarded personal foul clipping number 64 offense accepted first time is the beautiful explanation explains it perfectly in Bryant sight walk right back to his huddle because he thought it was a 10-yard holding call that was being enforced but instead it's the clipping call against Joe de la Malir so it means second down and a whole lot about 20 yards to be exact exact for the Cleveland Browns 258 to go second quarter this is what you want the head coach calling the place for you when it's second down in a whole bunch they split their backs white 25 and my crew at 43 and again only three down linemen this time employed by Tampa Bay site with all day to throw the ball as a man in the open and a great catch at the 47 yard line by Dave Logan right in front of the strong safety mark cottony and so site fest really thrown the ball very well in this ballgame and his receivers are now starting to catch 20 yards on the reception in Tampa had eight guys back in coverage only rushed three gave site plenty of time to look for Dave Logan gave him gave Logan plenty of time to get open and they're gonna measure for the first down [Music] it'll be third down and about the length of the football for Brian Sipe to keep the ball 237 to go on the half of the Browns really have conserved the ball on this particular Drive and have overcome a 15-yard flippin penalty against Joe de lavaliere as you look at head coach Sam Rutigliano what would you call Bob would you try to pull somebody here or not I think so The Cleveland Brown dolphins been struggling a little bit you got it going here now let's try a trick play try to get Ozzie Newsome down the middle we got Ricky feature in there we set this game up this quarter to their outside receivers today a lot more than we expected Giles I think is one completion I don't know if Newsome has any here's the straight ahead plunge by Mike Pruitt for the first down with plenty to spare it out front doing the blocking de la Malir 64 and Tom de Leon the center and Henry Shepherd 65 and the Browns offensive line asserting itself the very well here in the second quarter we have reached the two-minute warning the Browns have reached the midfield stripe trailing 13 to 10 and they have a definite chance here to put more points on the board before the half 1310 campo will be back for the final two minutes of the half an

consistently smooth and mellow flavor on glass after glass it is a beer where every drop this thoroughly quietly chill lager for a bold exciting taste that says this is Schlitz and this is dust oh go for it Sam Dover Bob Trumpy welcome back to Tampa Florida two minutes to go in the first half the Cleveland Browns trailing 13 to 10 have the ball just shy of the midfield stripe Brian Sipe has really had himself a second quarter this ball club netted four yards offensively in the first quarter and we'll have to check the statistics but I think they're well over 150 175 yards here in the second quarter Bob and right now against this Tampa defense with two minutes to go Cleveland still has to be patient they have two timeouts left tock croc took one but they cannot turn the ball over in this situation they gotta come up out of this Drive with some points well the offense averaged 360 yards per game in 1979 number three in the NFL they have unofficially 160 yards total offense in the half and if four of it came in the first half you need not be a mathematician to know that 156 of it has come here in this border I say you need them okay oh I noticed duck Deacon with the shirttail out there playing again in the third quarters you look at John McKay [Music] leading leading open 17 to nothing throwing the homerun ball down these catallena Reggie Rucker and Mark Putney makes the tackle but site threw it downfield Curtis Jordan it is number 25 Curtis Jordan was on the Blitz and a strong safety blitz and that singled up Reggie Rucker with Mark cotton me and Reggie you see 25 blitzing right there in the middle of your screen side season coming full trajectory unloads it and Rucker makes a great adjustment to the ball here watch this cotton he makes the mistake of a defensive back not watching the football 41 yards on the kids first down and goal to go at the 9 yard line looking at the corner and he completes the pass Ricky feature number 83 I believe out of bounds at about the 3 yard line Norris Thomas former Miami Dolphin had the coverage here's Sipe again just quick out and a timing pass he throws the ball before the receiver even turns around the coaches tell the receiver plant and get your head around and look at that quarterback as quickly as you can give him a chance he passed the field right down there if it's intercepted it's six points for the other team but this is not the same office we saw in the first quarter they have absolutely made we change about bryant gumbel in New York in a fair lady's Wars and highlights of all the other games we want to know about in the end zone site frozen he's got Calvin Hill for the touchdown great matter how's that for a second water for the Cleveland Brown great batter by Calvin Hill a and B circle running back out of the backfield it gives an outside fake of the linebacker and he'll cuts underneath bail in the end zone and on Cecil Johnson - no way to stop that watch it again you might be able to see he'll just out of the right corner of your screen yes goes by Cecil Johnson nobody there Valli the heat is bothering anybody at the moment it appears to be bothering Tampa Bay Don Cockroft will attempt the extra point it's 16 to 13 Cleveland leading for the first time in the ballgame and drops kick in perfect and something Cleveland Browns have taken a 17-13 leap up we have a trip every time he comes on the field he's picked the ball very well he was that their problem hey there's rain iski come on like a bolt of lightning Gail says flashed across the NFL he was great hey ma that's Gil stairs are you really Gale Sayers it's really me I saw you standing and thought maybe you like a tour to the Pro Football Hall of Fame great come on let's take a look at it this is where you found all the heroes this is where all their dreams come true it's got it all the old the new and they keep obedient all the time there's something of interest for every fan of every age and every team and here's the history of the Super Bowl just watch Stars passing game was clicking as it has the previous year hey where'd he go you never know who you're going to lead the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton Ohio don't miss it the preceding announcement was furnished by the National Football League that excellent drive by mr. Seif was it not Bob absolutely no doubt about it with the two minutes to go they only used about what what do you think second to get the ball in the end zone 78 yards and six plays didn't take him long the big play being the 41 yard toss to Reggie Rucker and here's khakhra kicking the ball short Gary Davis at the 7 yard line fumbles it to the 15 the 20 Davis stumbling to the 27 yard line the clock Williams now the two-minute drills of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers they led by as many as 10 points here in the first half now trailed by for 1713 well let's see what Tampa does here it's an opportunity to put it up they've been able to throw the ball very well in the first half to this point in the first half I should say Isaac is number 81 Gordon Jones 18 for the wide receivers with Bell 42 and equity 43 behind the quarterback Doug Williams and he sets the screen up avoiding a couple of tackles gets about four or five yards on the play if that is all number 91 Henry Bradley the nose tackle is the man who made the stop and the clock continues to run down to a minute ten again bryant gumbel standing by in new york you'll have the scores and highlights of other games around the league Williams looking downfield and off the shoulder pad of his intended receiver Ricky Bell now that ball was thrown too hard by Doug Williams and he is only in his third year in the NFL a lot of people have accused him of for whatever what other reason I don't know but he just really is not a very experienced quarterback story that we talked about early we live we'll get to it I just think in his two minutes situation better pay attention to the ball game 32 yard line with third down and six eighty-seven Isaac Higgins 81 the upside receivers he has not gotten the ball to Giles today like he would like to he has fairly good protection buff fake throws it quiet win at the 44 yard line will be in Tampa first down with 52 seconds to go on the half and the Buccaneers stop the clock and Williams now heading for the sidelines in a conference with John McKay an offensive coordinator Bill Nelson the former Cleveland Browns quarterback now may be time for the Doug Williams story last week in Dallas a writer said that the Dallas defense was going to try to confuse Doug Williams John Mackay the head coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs jumped on that and said that that may have racial overtones to it thinking that Doug Williams wasn't smart enough to play in the NFL well there are some things that you have to consider about this young man last year in just his second year he led his team to the NFC Conference championship they lost the game but in two years now his third he has really emerged as a great great talent I talked to him yesterday Sam and I have never met Doug Williams before he's been accused of being dumb I'll tell you what he is he is from Louisiana and he has a southern black accent and that has been confused with intelligence I think he's one of the most gifted athletes there is in the business and given seven or eight years they may be talking about him the same way they used to talk about Terry Bradshaw you took the words out of my mouth I mean here's a young man Doug Williams the only active quarterback the lead his team to a conference title in his second year and they say he perhaps his smart enough that was exactly the knock to Terry Bradshaw has had to pour Super Bowl championships Williams rolling out on first down can see the whole field grows back against the green and an excellent catch at the 44 yard line of Cleveland by Jerry Eklund then Eklund has shown very sure hands here in the last two plays Bob they've driven the ball very well here he got the ball down the field but they really haven't used the clock very well they've used up all their timeouts now Schoop try to throw it to the outside as opposed to in the middle because that does not stop a cup they have one timeout left excuse me Sam one timeout left we've got to throw the ball to the sideline Williams using the rollout of course allows him to see more on the football field does enough exactly and last week against Dallas he was he carried the ball for 77 yards so he is some real offensive threat he can he can throw it and he can also Roma the ball very well he's one of the biggest quarterback to the NFL six four and a half about 250 there's bill Nelson just to the left of John McKay we have we have the sons of a couple of pretty good football players working with us Keith Nelson is one of our spotters the son of Bill Nelson when we just saw on the field doctor szerik who is the son of Davis or who played around the American Football League if I'm not mistaken for a number of years pretty good receiver wouldn't he thumbs up dad says he's doing our stats and Jim Roe helping on this body near an accident ruins ball game 1713 Cleveland 44 seconds left in the half oh and I think the Bucks got his back right at the 50-yard line Greg Robertson former Oklahoma all-american fell on the ball and from behind it was Lyle Alzado who stripped the football loose and Doug Williams has had to take his final timeout Bob with 30 Wheatlands has done an excellent job in his situation they see Alzado just coming up with the ball and Cleveland has done an excellent job in his first half holding Tampa to just 13 points good coverage by the defensive backs nobody open that's exactly one you want your defense to do I think this the lament by John Mackay at halftime will be much like it was in Dallas last Sunday the feeling is that Tampa should have led by considerably more points than they led Dallas and then the second half it was a completely different football game was Dallas ran roughshod over him winning 28 17 Tampa had chances in the first quarter Bob I have a feeling too that the Tampa coaching staff may feel that that Cleveland may wilt in the second half in this heat there it is very difficult to come on come down here and play four quarters of real intense football in this heat and humidity Bryant Gumbel's standing by in New York he wants to get on he's got lots of scores and highlights to tell you about but right now we've got a drive-by Tampa Bay with a second [Music] more timeouts left so he'll have to use the sidelines looking downfield into the end zone throws the homerun ball and it's intercepted by the Browns twitted and Burrell number 49 who was beaten on the touchdown pass earlier to Gordon Jones gets a bit of revenge but a penalty book Doug Williams is down it's not a penalty flag at all for Humes is hurt Bob Jones quit running on his pass reshift reception totally just totally quit running and Doug Williams is still down and they are attending to one of his legs which is certainly not a good sign he released the ball under a degree of pressure and seems to be in a little bit of pain as one would expect if you know he is oh my goodness this could spell some bad news for the Buccaneers let's see if we can pick it up it's his left ankle and he sets up to throw the ball watch his front foot oh and it was a block I think was that Greg Roberts to the right of your screen 61 rolled rolled the defensive man right on his ankle in the backup quarterback for Tampa Bay is Chuck vicina once again once again watch this on this replay Craig Roberts knocks him into it and he just turns his ankle to the outside and it may be an ankle sprain of some sort we'll wait for the diagnosis from the doctors and the word from the bench still with 23 seconds to go on the half to the interception in the end zone the Browns happened at the 20 yard line if they can get off on side the flag is down you're right that'll stop the clock [Music] and the Medical Corps of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tending to their quarterback duck Williams with many respecters the franchise he is the quarterback of this ballclub you're right Chuck piscina by the way who's a fifth round draft choice in 1979 he's played in just one game and that really was in replacement for Doug Williams when he was hurt was against Green blood Green Bay that's the only game IPE played in 1979 so this should be the last play of the first half as psych takes a snap from center the clock will run down and the Browns have already headed for their dressing room with a 1713 lead and they've got to be awfully happy to be leading by four when they were down by 10 and not playing very well offensively but sight got him up through a couple of touchdown passes a regular one to Calvin Hill Charles white went over from 8 yards out on a run and it's 1713 Cleveland as we have expired the first half but it's been a great one and we've got another half to play Gordon Jones a touchdown catch them Doug Williams Charles white and 8 yards runs three yards a supply inside the Calvin Hill there's your score our halftime activities will begin in just a moment America is not going to be pushed around

Tampa Florida and a good panorama not only of downtown Tampa from the stadium as you look at the statistics in the first half and there are a whole lot different than they were at the end of the first quarter yeah you got to say Cleveland got most of those yards in the second quarter Bryant's I put in together two great drives but the story is I'm a position about equal passing very similar but the story is whether or not Doug Williams will be able to come back in this second half he is up and he is warming up but he comes back from that he is a quick healer come back from anything get it it probably changed his ankle very heavily certainly be a very real morale boost to the team if he can play about that he is a very gifted young quarterback good stats - this is no naka Chuck Fusina who had a great career at Penn State but if ever one man was a franchise as a quarterback Williams is it I mean there has been times when the people in the stands have implored John Mackay to give his other quarterback to chance when Williams has not had good days but mr. Williams I think Bob it's safe to say he is on for the duration as long as he's healthy as long as he's healthy that's an important praising for his size six for about 215 or 220 he is very seldom gonna be hurt the Jerry mark mark right talking to him wasn't one to know if he's all right I suppose very concerned official Jerry mark Wright had a remark to make to you and I the other day our reference to officials as they and those guys had those guys like a little personal identity he said well he's right they should be titled as officials when referred to we don't always do it that way well it's good to see Williams around to throw on the ball and hopefully he'll be bobal and and move around on the ankle injury Sam I remember too that Cleveland now gets the ball to start the second half and the way their offense performed in the second quarter they can keep this momentum going and if Doug Williams does have any problems throwing the football we may be able to sneak in a couple here on Tampa although Tampa's defense is going not going to make it easy for Cleveland Bob you mentioned during the broadcast at the U and I spent some time with Doug Williams yesterday of course you conduct an interview with him that was seen on NFL ad our pregame show but part of what he had to say regarded the fact that despite the criticism of Doug Williams he still feels as a championship quarterback in two years you took your team to the conference championship lost in the conference championship and almost made it to the Super Bowl and that too is overlooked well you know most important to me is win and I think I'm in organization in this league today wanna win you know regardless of my percentage in other percentage like you know I had a 41 percent passing last year but the same token I played in the NFC Championship team you know I talked about Archie Manning all time because I like I you know and I feel like he's one of the better quarterback than his League but aren't you threw over 60% by the same time you know I'm not gonna know all the same but they never been to playoff so well an excellent point made by Doug Williams and certainly not to slap Archie Manning in the face but you know Manning is a poke hero down here particularly in the Southland and I think the fact that he has never led the Worland to anything is regard to playoff berth or a championship is the point that mr. Williams is about and that is the only thing they judged people by whether or not you're a champion or should anyone or shouldn't yes here's our second half kickoff Cleveland leading 1713 and Keith Wright at the 2 yard line his first kick return of the day to the 2025 and he just falls forward to about the 28 yard line right who had a 50-yarder to get Cleveland in the great field position and the vegetable 22:13 victory over Kansas City lamb Sunday brings it back in the 28 yard line Lehmann looks very very tired coming onto the field here for this second half if they can suck it up as they say in the NFL you might have a chance to surprise Tampa that was also a very long first half and just simply clock time up that was a long half but at 1713 Browns their first series of the second half from the 29 yard line grew at 43 you see Rucker go in motion with Charles white leading the blocking for Pruitt 30 32 yard line brought down by 77 bill Koehler and Lee Roy Selmon 63 who has been strangely silent today and is not having a Lee Roy Selmon year during the first three and a half games of 1980 I wonder if that might have something to do with Randy Crowder when you have a nose man and a defensive end who played a couple years together they work in good coordination one makes the other one look a lot better with that Crowder or nothing against Logan but without Crowder s lot less of a defense Andy Hawkins has replaced David Lewis and left linebacker it may be that Lewis has suffered a shoulder injury occasion we got but David Lewis is not in their sight looking to that corner he's got through it for the first down and the extra flag is down he exploited the absence of David Lewis almost immediately Richard wood made the stop button film on counter oldie I think as mr. de la Miller number 64 Valley had a clipping call in the first half this is the first start for Joe de la Malir as a Cleveland Brown holding 64 good eye good eyes Trumpy can die you earned your paycheck today at left guard right in front of 54 you can't really see it but he it's kind of hard to pick out but those officials are a lot closer most of the time they're correct or close to be second down 17 they slapped Rutger to the right this time and the handoff straight ahead to Mike threw it across the 25 to the 28 yard line stop by the nose tackle David Logan in his second year out of Pittsburgh and very possibly the best physical specimen on the field this man is a weightlifting freak let's pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is WKYT v3 television home of the brown welcome back to Tampa Sam no fur and Bob Trump the early third quarter action here's a score from Miami south of us New Orleans 16 Miami nothing the quarterback we just talked about a moment ago Archie Manning died Harris 25 yards and the dolphins are hurting it is third and 13 for Brian's site throws it out of the flat near the shy of the first down he completes the pass Mike Washington making the tackle on Reggie Rucker and site was tackled very hard in the backfield there by David Stoll 65 not even trying to get it done field rather interesting that he would not take a little more time step up in the pocket try to get it down field and get the first down you made a remark in the first quarter of his ballgame of course we don't come down here all that often but this for 72,000 people is this the quietest round I have ever heard well I think it's hot waste their energy Johnny Evans will be punting to Danny Reece back at his 25-yard line as mr. Reece that Evans gets this one off a low line drive but Reece on the fly 3540 and head on at the 42 yard line he's hit by Cleo Miller Reece is very very slow in getting up but he has given Tampa Bay excellent field position and Evan still continues to have plenty problems Reese's down 36 yards on the plus 7 on the reserve never settle and now don't you ever get along something from your traveling when the day's work is done the competition was a little rough it's good to get back to some easy ridin and a friend I could see there [Music] three fingers [Music] what was that pools name miss [Music] that's nice boy there you go Thursday on games people play Scott Baio at the soapbox dirty Bronco busting and a 65 year old man who refuses to hang up his cleats games people play Thursday for all of you Tampa Bay fans you've been rinsed because Doug Williams is in there our report on him was just a slight ankle sprain he is back in the ball game [Applause] the 42 yard line the first offensive series to the second half for the Buccaneers a little swing pass to equity 45 he didn't reach the 45 he ran head-on into linebacker Charlie Hall 59 and Ron Bolton the quarterback 28 and he may have gained three yards on the completed pass Pittsburgh has made a laugher out of the game against the Chicago Bears Terry Bradshaw four touchdown passes today after the Bears scored first three of them to Jim Smith one to Benny Cunningham 31 3 the Superbowl champions are back if they it's back been away for any like the time mrs. Eckland 45 takes a good rap at the line of scrimmage from Charlie Hall it falls forward for about a 4-yard James Burton son runner and F what is done he's listed statistically at six feet 200 pounds he seems to play a little bit smaller to me Bob Jay is something Jerry Eck wood is from Arkansas and he was in the all-american high school backfield with none other than Earl Campbell and that is just on paper they never played together but a very very gifted player he's got six passes so far today for 49 yards and we really thought that Jimmy John's was putting a lot of business not yet he hasn't third down and three two tight ends obradovich and child you see a brand of itch at the bottom ear Peter Giles it is number 88 at the bottom of your picture third and three Williams over the middle has a man open at the 40 the first down at Gordon Jones pitch number six today for the former Pittsburgh all-american 11 yards and Tampa Bay has a first down at the brown 41 yard line free safety Tom Darden maiden stop but somebody's down on the field there we have an injured Cleveland Brown well Sam I want to tell you Doug Williams certainly looked fine throwing that football and Gordon Jones came back for the reception here Watch Williams set up it doesn't appear that he's having any problems with his ankle at all and he still has a strong enough arm to catch it I mean to throw it out there on a line and a good catch by Jones that's six catches for 113 yards and a touchdown now for Jones seeing set up see if he favors it at all it doesn't appear to well he's got a strong on telling you he's got a strong arm the engineered demand has done good the line factor he is still seated at midfield Tampa stadium we'll be right back hi I'm Jack buck with an offer from Budweiser that's going to be hard to pass up but easy to catch it's the Budweiser gripper football custom made by Rawlings for armchair quarterbacks like us and it plays so much easier than a regular-sized football on your own bud ball just look for this catch Budweiser display wherever you buy the king of beers you got it go get it this blood ball is for you for 1981 a new Ram tough Dodge pickup tougher than ever with better cash mileage more than twice as much galvanized steel in critical areas for the Porter Chevy backed by Chrysler Corporation three-year rust perforation warranty and this year's highest EPA estimates with automatic transmission more than for the chevy dodge pickup newer and tougher Don good walked off under his own power he obviously is okay Clifton Odom has replaced him at linebacker the rounds have two linebackers down at that right spot Matthews and good Matthew didn't play it all today Rickey Bell for a couple of yards and while we have a two-yard gain let me run some scores down for you it's been a while let's bring you right up to date on scores around the league third quarter Buffalo 17 Oakland 7 the bills trying to remain undefeated at halftime Cincinnati 10 Houston 7 the Bengals trying for the second straight upset in the third quarter Detroit 10 Minnesota 7 the Vikings giving the undefeated Lions all they can handle Pittsburgh 31 3 over Chicago in the third quarter New Orleans continues to lead Miami 60 in the third quarter Los Angeles 28 the New York Giants nothing here at 1713 Cleveland Tampa Bay 2nd down and 9 they say what an outstanding effort by Gordon Joe bounced out of his hand but almost a great great reception Williams obviously not bothered by that ankle Cleveland coming with the Blitz a half roll out again John before the receiver turns around and he almost catches this ball watch just at the end of it can't hang on to it the ball is jarred loose as he hits the ground two other scores Bob st. Louis continues to lead Philadelphia 7 nothing and Green Bay try to keep Bart Starr's head coasts the rumor is that he loses today he may be out they have scored on a Steve Atkins 6 yard run its Dallas 7 Green Bay 7 [Music] the same play throws that almost intercepted deflected at the line of scrimmage by dick Ambrose I believe number 52 and almost intercepted by the brown so they have risen to the occasion again well they keep coming with that same play you see Higgins in motion I think you can see Ambrose just get his hand up on this ball and they're bringing their linebackers out a little wider now to accommodate that half roll everybody's gonna have to come with something else and go to the well only so many times top laner trying to put Cleveland in a hole here Keith Wright in signal safety this 12 yard line that blanchard will be looking for a corner he has just been an outstanding putter ever since he replaced the injured David Greene last year picking the right side [Laughter] can they step it off at the 9 yard line so blancher the distance not nearly as important only 31 yards when he puts the Cleveland Browns back in their nine yard line Cleveland leads in 1713 third quarter will be been using this surgical fiber-optic camera lens red stone labs is going to show you what we neglected antifreeze can do to your radiator after only 9,000 miles look at these passages rust corrosion continued neglect could clog them and overheat this radiator before this happens to you put in Prestone to Prestone has a patented silicon silicate formula that forms a tough protective barrier to lock out rust and corrosion fresh stone to and press stone super plush no wonder we're number one can you see the difference between Firestone steel-belted tracks 12 and other all-season radials Firestone has special traction bars for pulling power and snow but they're hidden in the tracks 12 tread for smooth quiet Turnpike driving long lasting tracks 12 the moral season steel-belted radial with traction you can see traction 12 months a year tracks 12 Firestone's lowest-priced steel belted white wall radio NBC brought it to television first the spectacular plains the memorable moments the World Series is back where the ball is beginning October 14th on NBC Sam Dover and Bob Trumpy back in Cincinnati couple of updates Tony French a 27-yard field goal fourth-quarter Houston and Cincinnati tied at 10 Ron Jaworski a one-yard run second quarter Billy in st. Louis tied at 7 the maximum football being played around the NFL again on this Sunday no finer perhaps in the game here 1713 Cleveland staging a great second quarter rally a flag is down as white gets outside 15 to the 18 yard line and Jack a lot of bounds by Mark Putney the penalties on him too do you think he'll dig a procedure move before the ball was snapped there's some justice in that she has no relationship to that play whatsoever other than the fact that she probably enjoyed it being a tampa bay fan and did the ball is coming back illegal motion number 25 offense first now you never cease to amaze me mr. trophy have been perfect today have you not in your [Laughter] first and 14 at the 4-yard line sight from his own end zone throwing downfield Ozzie Newsome at the 24 Norris Thomas made the stop and I believe that is the first catch of the day well the Browns all-pro tight end Ozzie Newsome it is and a penalty flag is down Wow when a big place hype from his own endzone you got to admire Sam Rutigliano or Brian Sipe or whoever came up with a play personal foul against Tampa Bay on North the play becomes even bigger now as they walk off the 15 on top of the completion of first down at the 39 yard line a 35 yard play by the brown personal foul unnecessary roughness number 41 [Laughter] [Applause] we've seen that but a notch above watch this one the head slapped by Norris Thomas that's the SL legal you can no longer use the hammer as Fred Williamson Williamson named it almost appears to be frustration just a little bit losing their composure if you will and I'm kind of surprised that they would be the ones to lose their composure break through it step by Dooley Selman but not before he picked up a couple of yards he will be second down in about seven down with the Cleveland Browns Norris Thomas is out Danny Reece replaces him at left corner but Cleveland's got to be patient right here not really try to get too much too soon in the third quarter with 850 left to go there's no hurry both the Buffalo Bills and rookie running back joke cribs are for real Ferguson to cribs 21 yards the bills blowing out Oakland at Buffalo today and they will be pulling oh if they can hold the lead he fakes the pitch and gets it off to number 43 Mike Pruitt stopped by Koehler who was not fooled a gain of a couple of yards it'll be third down and about two or three to go Dallas has gone back on top of Green Bay 14 to 7 Robert Newhouse a run of one yard from behind the defense you saw the nose man 76 Logan go around the offensive center Tom Daly own and he took the wrong side is that your date policeman third down and two for Cleveland at their own 47 threw it in motion Mike threw it gets the pitch stop the play but look at the effort by Mike through it Lewis who was out early on in the second half with what we think is a shoulder injury has come back and made the great play however Pruitt made the great effort you gotta admire that Cleveland offensive line they've been on the field for the second third quarter an awful long time and they have done an excellent job against a very very good defense in Tampa Bay well the Mike bruit story is an old one to Cleveland fans they remember when he was a number one draft choice of 1976 out of Purdue he got the first down but he fumbled considerably thus warding his progress until Sam Rutigliano said hey you're my running back you're my fullback I got confidence in you and Pruitt rewarded that confidence not only with that great effort but with 12 hundred and 60 yards last year second quarter in the AFC the Magnificent amplify also a magnet my crew at that time 49 they lead the game 1713 with 722 to go in the third quarter we have had no scoring here in the second half and all day to throw the ball throws it to Mike Frueh 45 50 45 40 steel on his feet bye Danny Reece but he certainly punished the tackler on that particular play absolutely uncovered site he was open a long long time before he could find him you see him standing out there with his hands waving the inside was obviously looking somewhere else 17 yards on the reception this is one tough kid one tough kid six foot 225 and Boop endo look all 7:05 to go in the third quarter dan Rather Brian Sipe has carried his team from the four yard line to the 35 at Tampa Bay short drop throws it out here again to Ozzie Newsome for short yardage covered by Cecil Johnson in his fourth year on to the University of Pittsburgh it almost seems like Tampa Bay over the years has drafted in lots from different school six from Southern Cal three from Oklahoma three from Pittsburgh not bad choices though well they've been very good pretty good football schools second down at six per site I am really impressed with the with the veteran quarterback today he has really done a job on campus the bucks gonna stop him here raylene already 1713 good pressure by Logan and down he goes way back in the 42 yard line and David Logan just beat Tom Daley Oh [Applause] today last year they had forty to this point going into this game they'd only had four watch Logan go around free man blitz a game up front he just gets by tom de Lyon and Jalapa to good old mother earth that'll certainly change your mind about what you're gonna do the next time watch this yes sir hello third down and 15 from the 40-yard line of Tampa Bay on the ground spin all day they have come alive here knowing that they're Buccaneers are in a bit of trouble sight as all day throws it out the crew and again at the 45 40 and this time they got it Shila sticks to the 37 yard line that play was covered just a wee bit better do we Selman 58 Richard wood 54 awesome Danny Reece was there so it's going to be fourth down interesting situation here they're gonna punt the ball from about the 46 or 47 yard line I wondered you're leading by four points I wonder they really don't have anybody in there too big but isn't this where Sam got some criticism last week late in the ball game from the 33 yard line of Kansas City at Danny a rather had the Johnny Evans one with the football well I remind you of this Johnny Evans with is also a quarterback you know let's see what might happen Lanny fill his time he putts it and he's looking for a corner but he doesn't get it bounces right into the end zone and out of the field of play in Tampa Bay trailing by four with 451 to go in the third quarter has the ball back again they will start from the ropes 20 yard line and we come back to Tampa station America is not going to be pushed around anymore the K cars are here but wheel drive Dodge Aries K America's highest mileage six passenger car challenges Toyota Corona each starts with 12 gallons of gas toyota says or what a feeling but for mileage you feel better with Ares look the for passenger Corona runs out after 444 miles the six passenger areas goes almost 50 miles further America's not gonna be pushed around anymore Aries K at your Dodge Ram dealer the American way to beat the pump [Music] the army can make you feel a lot of ways challenged trained and proud [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome back to Tampa it may have been in Johnny Evans mine to do something other than kick that football ball I think it's a design play that if they have Tampa's up on the line of scrimmage you're going to rush the punter then Evans is going to run it watch all of the offensive lineman of the Tampa of the Cleveland Browns go to the right Johnny Evans saw that several linebackers were off the line of scrimmage and looking for that so for the bucks from the 20 yard line equites straight ahead for four and ripped down by Robert l Jackson 56 Marshall Harris number 90 who has just done an outstanding job replacing the jury shirt Harris is in his first year out of Texas Christian at six six to 61 he wears number 90 as you look at equites assist stats on the day Williams still at quarterback reminding you give again - for second down and six 1730 the Bucks were favored by three-and-a-half Johnny Davis in the backfield has yet to carry the ball Ricky Bell looking for a Davis block trying to get on their way from Robert Jackson to look at the Cleveland pursuit and down he goes inside the 20-yard line great play RL Jackson absolutely came underneath the guard the pulling guards block was right there to get bill watch number 56 you'll see him shoot into your picture underneath the guard oh and he takes on the backside guard grace they'll ruin any play bill they spot the ball the 20 and a half yard line let's call it the 20 make it third down and 10 keep it even certainly not very good statistics for Ricky Bell and normally the Tampa Bay Bucs don't win a game that Ricky Bell doesn't gain a lot of yards well he's averaging under four yards that carry has yet to score touchdown 1918 Ricky Bell third down conversions not bad today Williams needs one over the middle and he overthrew his intended receiver Jim obradovich the tight end coming across the middle of the 28 yard line and so the Buccaneers offense seems to be find a word for me impatient impatience Blanchard is odd to do the punting in Cleveland again should have the ball in fairly good field position Tampa has not really run the ball very well today at all 3:17 to go a very very fast third quarter and Blanchard gets his putter way at the 38 yard line it's right to the 45 Tampa Bay territories the 47 yard line is brought down there Tony Davis number 27 is the first man to stop him and the Browns with superb field position already leading by four are looking for more 15 yards of a 40-yard punt return oh great bright stereo don't worry we've got insurance oh mom the stereo will cost a bundle to replace today are all state policy or cover it right if you buy all states new replacement cost coverage on contents will replace most personal property at today's prices will replace it oh we can get a new stereo but this time let's put it there away from the fireplace you're in good hands with Allstate and that's a promise from us the good hands people you take a thousand hearts up here with you make them skip a beat [Music] take him back down to Miller time time for the best tasting beer you can find America's quality beer when it's time [Music] Brian siphoned company about to go back to work again much to the chagrin of that young man who obviously averse his partiality out in the open 72 thousand fans most of them dressed in orange and that is revealing statistic nobody has run the ball for a while today at all Brian Sipe was 17 and 26 throwing the blow for 220 yards we gave up first down the crew Lee Roy Selmon who knocks him down for a gain of about a yard Dave Logan 76 was also their second down nine this is what the people in Tampa expected their defense right now to rise up and come up with a big play interception a fumble recovery or stop this Drive of the Cleveland Browns before it gets started cliffs Dowd has gotten into the act he can now legitimately qualify for his pension do you believe he played all those years qualified for his pension never took a snap from center the day glitched out of the Pittsburgh Steelers as played in his first regular season game throw a touchdown pass to Franco Harris sike throws it out of the flat it's complete he was running back through it who stopped immediately by David Lewis a gain of about four yards on the completion it'll be third down and six and Psyche continues to do it shorter and has done it rather successfully through the second and third quarters in this game with only 211 to go in the third quarter [Music] Sam particularly out probably feeling pretty good right now Hamilton Hill scuse me Bob Calvin Hill in on third down [Laughter] this projection has a man wide open yes it is number one draft choice of last year to the University of Houston a real speed burner wearing number 80 and making a big catch for a first down Gore tried he is a big guy too last week he had two catches average 28 yards for each catch this 130 yards and Cleveland is anxious for this guy to really develop the University of Houston one of the real fast guys that Cleveland has ever had not bad at all so from the 14 yard line the Browns have really owned this football game from the second quarter on Tampa Bay had a chance to blow him out early came away with just two garyun coming in field goals and they're paying the price right now raylene 1713 site play-action gross into the Ricky feature number 83 with a great catch and site showed a great amount of patience Ricky feature was the second receiver he wasn't ending that bass for Keith Wright who was held up at the line of scrimmage he was coming from the flanker spot a good adjustment by Brian Sipe and Ricky feature didn't give up on his quarterback that's another six points 23:13 with khakhra badly it all ought to make it 2413 and with the extra point the Browns will have scored three unanswered touchdown Charles white eight yard run the basket Calvin Hill this kick is up and it is good 14 yards and in the heat and humidity in Tampa Florida where you would think the Tampa Bay might have the advantage the Cleveland Browns told an 11 point lead [Music] here it is again but as I said he's looking at the Keats right he's well covered out there feature does not give up on his quarterback coming across the endzone well I want to tell you Cleveland as you said Sam has really turned it on 53 yards four plays two minutes in 13 seconds for this wall half of a football players and fans are stunned and if there is anything to be optimistic about as far as the crowds are concerned is in their defense has also come of age they play very well early on don't forget next Saturday pennant fever on NBC Sports exciting double interaction coverage of both crucial matchups the Expos in the Phillies for the Astros against the Dodgers next Saturday 2:00 o'clock Eastern Time here on NBC we invite you to check your listings for the game at times in your area and then we go right on and we'll have the climax for you the World Series this is very reminiscent of what happened at the last week in the first half they [Music] with Dallas and they they gave a little awful lot of yards in the second pamphlet was really two completely different football game first half second Gary Davis is the deeper seeded man for Tampa Bay they're down 24 213 after leaning in this game 13 to 3 Davis in his 8 yard line [Laughter] on the far side I still don't know who it was but somebody made an excellent tackle on the side bar side the Macdonald old fruit - number 84 Davis looked like he was going to turn it back up again number 24 watry Beeman who was just acquired this week on waivers after being cut by the Seattle Seahawks named veteran of a few years in the league six years out of these Texas State from the 31 yard line [Music] throws it down the middle and Hagen's the ball of the 48 yard line the NFL wide open over the middle and he went to Higgins and Isaac couldn't catch the ball and then she got one reception all day worth repeating Sam the stamp of a buck and her team probably leads the lead and drop passes for whatever reason all certainly should have been caught second down to ten stops o'clock with 38 seconds to go on and [Music] the 39-yard line it'll be two yard shy it was kind of a very poppy didn't set that one up very well or was it designed not to be set up well I'll tell you what they didn't really want it to be a long screen as they say a quick screen you take advantage of the the linebacker dropping very deep in you your running back gets a step out there Conrad Rutger number eighty into the lineup is a blocking tight end Jimmy Giles number 88 stays in the lineup on third down and two and Tampa Bay has failed to pick up a first down in its first two possessions of the second half and they won't get a chance here in the third quarter because the time has expired so we have come to the end of three quarters at Tampa stadium its Cleveland 24 Tampa Bay 13 we'll be right back after these messages from your local station Sunday on Disney a teenage scientist turns into a shaggy dog and on ships punching John Byrne a shocking secret about a fellow officer then every hour they live brings us closer to death who are the boys from

11 months ago my husband died suddenly it was an awful shock but it would have been so much worse if we'd had to move thank goodness we bought mortgage life insurance from nationwide when we insured our home mortgage life insurance it's part of nationwide blanket protection for your family nation join Leon and me for complete weekend report tonight at 11:00 big play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers first play of the fourth quarter Sam Dover and Bob Trumpy welcome back to Tampa the Cleveland Browns leading 20 for 13 the eye the pitches to Ricki bear little great defensive play by the Cleveland Browns it was 2x wood and he's dropped back at the 35 yard line Clarence Scott the strong safety coming on the run committed all the way nobody blocks him you see the guard trying to get out there to get a hit on him that's race now but whoa what a play by Clarence Scott and for the third time in this half Tampa Bay will at the flood I don't believe they picked up a first down in the second half yet bub Blanchard back at his 20 yard line he will be putting to keep right number 89 Campo is now 5 of 14 and 3rd down conversions got a couple of scores for you we'll give it to you right after this punt 24:13 the Browns in control will have the football back again Keith Wright at is 25 looking for the wedge balls down at the 32 yard line and that's where the Cleveland Browns will go to work okay to check some scores Houston Tony Pritchett 29 yard field goal 533 gone in the fourth quarter it's 13 to 10 the Oilers lead Cincinnati gary Danielson to Freddie Scott 45 yards Detroit 17 7 over Minnesota the Lions trying to remain undefeated so is Philadelphia but they are losing at the moment Steve little the 31 yard field goal the Cardinals that they get a 10-7 lead over Philadelphia and don't forget all the scores and highlights following us and then we'll have a second half of our NBC double-header you'll see either Seattle Washington Baltimore and the Jets one of those two games of NBC's double-header Sunday regi Rutger in motion for the 32-yard line of Cleveland then the give is to break through it for about a yard stop there by Richard would the right inside linebacker Sam Rutigliano has got Creek fruit in there we've been in there a couple of times but he doesn't really appear to have the leg strength in that that after that knee surgery to really drive the way he used to used to he was a real scatback he'd kind of dance along behind the line of scrimmage no sudden break up through there as Darrell you permian from Ball State distinguished career of this league indeed second down and nine my crew at 43 is the up bet lay action for sight they frozen implanted cut by Prewitt Mugen and the tackler bounced right off him I believe it was Mike Washington and Pruitt inflicted more damage on Washington than the other way around and he got very close to a first down boy my crew it is really a horse what a bull he also was able to hang on to the football which is even more incredible than taking the hit watch this the ball and the tackler get there at exactly the same time and he hangs on to it and Dewey Selman as always on the tackle and they bring the sticks in to check and see whether or not he got enough yardage for the first down so the Browns with 1314 to go in regulation time leading by 11 are definitely in control this football game they seemed to have wrestled the impetus away early in the second quarter and have not given it back first down they move the sticks and the Browns have moved the football very well the buccaneers depends which was number one of the National Football League last year is not exactly lifts up to thirteen straight here's the game data my crew to the 47 yard line close to another Cleveland first down Cecil Johnson making the stop but again the Browns very close to another first down if they haven't got it always nice to have a little insurance in the in your hand - like Mike Pruitt and the first quarter they didn't use him at all I'm gonna go with something different in the last three quarters he has really emerged as the great running back that he is worth repeating once again twelve hundred ninety four yards in 1979 and a yard shy of the first down I met Gary second down and one for cleaver they slot rutger to the left [Music] the mic through it first down to about the 47 yard line of Tampa Bay and scythe has just been a masterful quarterback I mean I know Tampa Bay fans who want to hear that but he has really run this offense masterfully from the second quarter on and let's also give credit to the offensive line of the Cleveland Browns they have done an absolutely tremendous job all day long it suffered a lot of problems in the first quarter but they have really settled down and manhandled this Tampa defense for three quarters a New Orleans continues to pull off the upset at Miami our producer Michael Hadley who hails from [Music] get outside with Kurtis Jordan the free safety dropping breakthrough and we're lost and a penalty marker is down Detroit has scored again rail demun a 29 yard interception as you see the holding indication against Cleveland and the Lions lead Minnesota 24 - 7 Wow there are some teams that you might have been a little skeptical about before today that you are going to have to say are for real after today like Detroit and Buffalo to name two you have to include San Francisco babe although they play it Atlanta later today out of San Francisco they're three and oh you're right here's our referee jerry mark wright with a call holding number 63 defense first down that would be Cody rise in the second year man out of Texas A&M that's plates so well is a young offensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns you see him there 63 without of that particular player they had kind of a take down there but the one of his opponents mer barbers in Baltimore went up gods heavier than he was last year too first in 24 Cleveland leading 24th growing it down and Calvin Hill and just out of his reach Hill stretched himself out as did Danny Reece the defender number 46 neither was able to come up with a football it stops the clock with 1116 to go and the pucks got to be thinking about the clock also he stays down by two touchdowns actually it's 11 points but you got to score two touchdowns I mention it offensive line a minute ago look at the job they're doing it against Tampa Bay and this is a good defense rushing for defense for defensive lineman Richard wood in there too is one of those defensive linemen trying to get it good protection and that's the secret to winning the football game you can protect your quarterback and control the line of scrimmage you lead 24 213 second down at 20 Calvin Hill remains in there they give us the Greg crew and a quick opener 45 at Tampa Bay and dragged down but an excellent call by Brian Sipe found a little daylight for fraud and he quickly rattled off about 15 yards it may have been exactly what he needed 16 yards on the carry and he really hasn't popped one off yet this year coming back from very very bad knee surgery there you see the Greg Pruitt of old is still a little weak in the legs but nevertheless that may be a big hurdle for Greg Pruitt to get over tackle by Danny Reese and a good one through it's still limping a little bit on the sidelines things are not right for that great football player out of Oklahoma he has had some years the Cleveland fans will not soon forget he is accounted for ninety-five hundred yards in his career at Cleveland third the Leroy Kelly and Jim may be behind the secondary Calvin Hill touchdown whoa is saiph had a day and not a bad one for Calvin Hill 44 yards site the hill on the Browns bow lead at 32 13 they may have been caught in the Blitz again Bob single coverage all the way Galvan Hill a veteran receiver over Richard wood and it's a footrace and even though Calvin Hill is a little kind of getting up there in years but a great adjustment to the football and a well run pattern and he just single-handedly beat look at that look at on it look at him adjust to the the pass reception on Richard wood they blitzed both Ries and cut knee on that particular play and cipher edit beautifully and injured Buccaneer is still down at about the 5-yard line it is Richard wood number 54 I think his pride has hurt more than anything else I hope that's all the dirt and Brian Sipe last week with his 23 of 36 and 295 yards and two touchdowns his today 20 to 32 for 319 yards and two touchdowns who said that Brian Sipe had a sore arm 28th touchdown passes in 1979 for that young man and he out of San Diego State now in his seventh year we'll leave with 10 20 to go we'll add the extra point in a moment got a friend my boss hasn't smiled the whole trip I think you like our bids everything all right that's fine call me for dinner she'll fire nice 10 w 40 motor oil became famous for protection how about gas mileage to dramatize average lab test results we have two cars one with the improved shell fire and ice' formula the other with the old each with one gallon of gas one car out of gas the other with the improved formula goes 1/3 mile farther shell fire a knife formulated for better gas mileage well they say that one picture is worth a thousand words in this case it couldn't be more appropriate 95 degrees in gamla 80% humidity and I would imagine the Buccaneer fans have other reasons now 31 for Cleveland 13 for Tampa Bay and the Buccaneers at one point in this game led 13 to 3 Bob this is really surprised Brian Sipe having himself quite an afternoon to say the least 31 to 13 and his statistics speak for themselves I got one for you Brian Sipe just became the first quarterback to ever throw for 300 yards against the Tampa Bay defense how about that last Anatol last week another negative defensive record for the Tampa Bay Bucs the Dallas Cowboys were the first team to score four touchdowns on the Tampa Bay defense for the second week in a row a defensive record an offensive record set against a very very good defense this is a great moral victory for Cleveland in this heat now two and two on the season if we can project 10 minutes and 20 seconds from now mass orange heading for the exit spirits Tampa Bay it is Exodus of the partisans trailing 31:13 as they start to head out a very warm afternoon and the Buccaneers have not exactly performed up to their expectation and the Cleveland Browns have not wilted in this he can't give them enough credit he fends did it early on and kept Tampa Bay out of the end zone when the Buccaneers had the pressure on and that site finally got the offense untracked in the second quarter and from then they'd have to sail that may have been the secret the defense not allowing Tampa to get the ball in the end zone for a touchdown but rather just two field goals the Browns go home next Sunday to entertain the Denver Broncos in what should be an outstanding football game plan on being there for that pick into the end zone and out of the field to play for the 20 yard line Capital will go to work again here are the scores that we have right up to the moment it is now final the Buffalo Bills are four and old they have defeated Oakland today by a score of twenty four to seven joke cribs ran for one touchdown caught a pass and Joe Ferguson for another fourth quarter Tony Britt's field goal the difference from that one 13 to 10 Houston Detroit 24/7 over the bikes gary Danielson has thrown a touchdown pass Pittsburgh more Terry Bradshaw touchdown passes won by cliff Stout 38 3 over Chicago and a laugher New Orleans continues to lead Miami the Dolphins are on the board let's get back to this game Doug Williams on first down over the middle he's got a man wider twenty-eight Gary Davis gets the first down to about the 34 and that's about the first thing they've had to cheer about here in the second half in a laugher the Rams 28 nothing over the New York Giants Ray Perkins has got to be in trouble or at least in his own mind the Cardinals and what may be the upset of the day at the moment ten seven over Philly at the half and in the only other game Dallas hanging there Green Bay hanging tough at Dallas 14 to 7 Bart Starr's job perhaps on the line if Green Bay does not win from the 35 yard line that's called looking downfield throws instead and he had a flock around in front of him 74 Jean Sanders but equit could not hold the football I swear he just took his eye off the ball there's no that was right in his breadbasket between the 4 and the 3 well if you're a cleat if you're a Tampa Bay fan and you're looking ahead to next Sunday your Buccaneers will be in Chicago to play the Bears who are coming off at least a 38 to 3 loss to Pittsburgh today that'll be next week I think it's worth mentioning that Tampa had a ten and six record last year won the NFC simple division but six of their 10 victories came against NFC central teams and they were not a very strong division collectively last year although this is a very good team second and ten and over the head the intended receiver another former southern california' told you to played his college ball under John McKay but a flag is down and the preliminary call is against Tampa Bay and holding I certainly don't want anybody in the Tampa area to think that I don't feel that this is a great football team I do but it's always difficult to duplicate a 10 and 6 record and with the improvement in Detroit it's not going to be as easy to have that 10 and 6 record this year in fact John McKay himself said that he felt that 11 and 11 and 5 record would get them to the playoffs in 9 minutes and 27 seconds are going to be 2 & 2 and I think we also should not fail to mention the fact that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing without Randy Crowder and without Cedric Brown two outstanding defensive players holding number 75 offense and would be vacant Travis the former Pittsburgh Steeler who came here to Tampa Bay in the allocation draft now in his sixth year out of Arkansas and the clock is a telling tale against Tampa Bay Bay Revis is one of only two guys left out of that veterans allocation mark cotton in the other they have really paired this team over the last four years with grass I'm down to 20 now the quarterback Doug Williams good protection frozen street [Music] Lynden Pharrell 35 looking for a block to the 4045 and out of bounds on the far side of the 47 yard line making his first start for the injured Oliver Davis at least this year Burrell in his second year out of LSU has his second interception I believe of the day now this ball is overthrown and you gotta wonder what Doug Williams feels like back there he throws enough passes that should be caught and then he throws overthrows one and I'm sure everyone will once again as John Mackay can that man play quarterback in the NFL never I say again I say you can't do just not on this Sunday afternoon [Music] [Music] ge TV brings you America's true colors vivid and light black and the GE special VI are two circuit the color is automatically

featuring the Seahawks Redskins Runkle and next Sunday it starts your day with NFL a followed by great football telecasts Lee blew the Steelers vs. the Vikings check vocalist dings 911 to go in regulation time Clinton Burrell's second interception of the day is given the Browns excellent field position if Tampa gets it back again that young man will go into quarterback presumably he is Chuck Fusina now in his second year out of Penn State there's a quick pitch Charles White number 25 the ball-carrier without my nanny Reese 2600 short game it'll be second down and I would imagine scythe likes to I would like to run off heaps of time on the clock would think there's a very dejected Doug Williams talking to a head coach John Mackay as we said in the pregame program John Mackay is not going to give up on Doug Williams he came back from that ankle injury at the end of the first half and he is the quarterback at the Tampa Bay Bucs I'm sure John Mackay has had a lot of good players that have gone through bad days it should just 1 for Doug Williams second down nine for Cleveland at the 48 yard line of the brown lady 31 to 39 never got the bull with 819 to go they're going to have to cash immediately let's see if you see that comes in or whether now with the turnover Doug Williams remains on the field it will be Doug Williams Lee Roy Selmon is a man who recovered Miller never really got the football here yes I think is one defense a big turnover like that maybe a little later it's exactly 31:13 from the midfield spike Tampa Bay has hey I have to do some yard work Michelob lie I have to do any yard work [Music] what good friends really go at it this hard just for a beer will consider its Michelob life and that means a rich smooth taste you can compare to any beer you like 102 to 98 how did you do it defense Michelob light compare the taste home energy bills have become outrageous and that's the good news the bad news they're expected to double again in the next ten years you can fight back get up in your attic and add another layer of Owens Corning fiberglass insulation on top of the insulation you already have put your house in the pig see your dealer a contractor for more Owens Corning fiberglass insulation now last year the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will every game in which Leroy Salman had a sack today is Doug beacon the offensive tackle of the Cleveland Browns Leroy someone has not had a sack and it doesn't look like they're gonna win James Doug Williams throwing the ball I'm sorry Larry mucker the intended receiver double coverage downfield Tom Darden was there and Williams wanted really air out there he threw that ball 50 yards in the air didn't it yes and I wonder why to that play call from the sideline so you can't blame Doug Williams but they have 8:11 left here why be so impatient to throw it all the way you know that Cleveland's gonna be playing way way deep and everybody knows he can throw at 50 yards but he's covered seems to me if they just try to put together a drive here can serve some time instead of going for the home run ball make a little more sense now second and 10 Ron Bolton with the good coverage second down to 10 from the 50 yard line will run about three finals for you right after this play lone setback for Tampa Bay Ricky Bell is Williams swings it out again and now the crowd starting to get on the receiver of that particular Keys Rickey Bell what's the perfect example of some of the problems that they've had here's some final scores for you it is all over Houston is hung on to beat Cincinnati did I hear you say something mr. Trump yeah I said 13 to 10 Tony Fritch a couple of late field goals to win it without Earl Campbell and Pittsburgh 38 to 3 over Chicago Terry Bradshaw had four touchdown passes in that one we'll get some more for you here in just a few moments [Music] - setbacks move out of the backfield Williams over the middle Gary Davis inside the 40 got a first down to about the 37 yard line neck tight tackled loud Milton power in his first year out of North Carolina State but Gary Davis the former Miami Dolphin picks up a first down to keep Tampa live it's 31 13 Cleveland leading in the ballgame well finally one of the running backs catches a pass from Doug Williams it's not thrown very hard and Tampa has had their chances they have just dropped passes all over the field and you certainly can't blame Doug Williams for that delvis peacock ran for three touchdowns today the Rams clobbered the Giants and the Lions are undefeated for an old one that will not come as good news for Tampa Bay fans another one bites the dust and a quick pitch over the middle is he avoided the Russia this time Davis could not hold on to the football it's incomplete second down and 10 this is a very difficult offense to run you're down three touchdowns you're trying to get something on the board the Browns are just laying back waiting for you to put it up in the air and Sam also to go with that Doug Williams only in his third year I think he has the talent to play quarterback but he really has not been in the situation long enough as a starting quarterback in the NFL regardless of his color to really be as gifted at the at coming back and being patient to throw the football as people like Ken Stabler and people like Brian Sipe he's just learning on the job and I think John Mackay is directing in putting him in here and let him learn on a job second down to ten Williams accounted for 335 yards in offense last week in Dallas his first carry of the day out of bounds at the 30 he'll pick up about seven yards on that play he ran for 77 last Sunday and threw for 258 335 yards in total offense for that third-year quarterback out of Grambling and they say it's not even fair to call him a third-year quarterback because he missed half of his rookie year with an injury let's pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network this is WKYT tv3 television home of the brown 7:08 to go in fourth quarter Sam Dover and Bob Trumpy from Tampa we're running a little bit late for this game we will of course have a second game of our doubleheader for most of you watching it and we'll update you on the scores before we leave here over the middle and drop by Gary Davis although that pass and Davis's defense was a wee bit low on the throne many of you will see Seattle and Washington will join that in progress as soon as this game is over or the New York Jets at Baltimore but before we leave here I promise to bring you right up to date on the other scores and Cleveland's defense has played a whale of a game today even in the second quarter even in the second half Frank's good job getting to the quarterback and the offensive line of both of these teams are of Cleveland and the defensive line played a great ballgame in the face of adversity Ronnie Lee a 2-yard run from Miami and the Dolphins coming back from a 60 melting deficit by 54 he lapsed in the fourth quarter and they're down by only two to New Orleans it's a first down for Tampa Bay fourth down down to three I'm sorry fourth down at three and they're going for obviously with nothing to lose run it run it elects to go down shy on the out of bounds with 20 at the 22 yard line and why he didn't go out about to stop the clock I'll never know there wasn't that much more that he could have gotten Bob well his ankle is definitely bothering him yeah that's right rather than take a chance of being out for the next 12 football games I think he made the right choice although going out of bounds but you see the competitive spirit at Doug Williams watch this he's heard he's got a bad ankle all of a sudden he gives a Juke and thinks about going upfield then thinks better about it and falls on the ground I got to admire somebody like that Autry Beeman made to stop but not before he got the first down from the 23 of Cleveland Gordon Jones and Kevin house in the wide receivers to set backs Gary Davis and Ricky Bell and again believes chased out of the pocket throws it into the end zone good catch by house but way out of the field to play it will be second down the clock stopped with six ten to go no harm no harm throw an incompletion don't throw an interception here we can even throw that football you know I hate to be an alarmist well I don't want to say anything but if Tampa could gets six here six ten is an awful lot of time to play football hey listen stranger things have happened the reason that it doesn't seem like it's that much time because the Buccaneers did not threaten Cardinals Oh Jay Anderson a one-yard run look at this the in st. Louis 751 elapsed in the third quarter the Cardinals are upsetting the Eagles if Williams could get him into the endzone down [Music] at 31 to 20 they got a chance throws a little player passes [Laughter] all day long not sure who's to blame but passes like that should be caught whether the quarterback was too hurried in his throw or the receiver really was looking upfield rather than concentrating on the football whatever but I think if I were John McKay I'd line my running backs up and the next practice we had it would be two hours of catching the football from Doug Williams I think and nothing else the most constructive thought that we've had all day well he's probably already done it because I've said before they lead the league and drop passes and so mckay showing his frustration by pacing the sidelines a bit on the day Doug Williams has putted up 39 times they don't look bad on paper but his team is trailing 31:13 that's a personal record for him 239 attempts he throws this one it [Laughter] Oh just the way they draw it up and I'll tell you some backwoods credit maybe he knows that he did not make an all-out effort on the initial reception before back and gave a particularly good effort after that great catch there maybe they can't make the easy catch the tough catch they can make they may not allow that touchdown let's get the elevation tell you what yeah that's the old that's the Oakland rule where you can't advance the ball forward but that's not a good call because they didn't advance the ball forward that ball was knocked out of his hand that ball was fumbled forward we can see that again you can see a defensive man coming in right behind ecwid and knock it out of his arms so they walk off five yards and here's referee Jerry Mark Wright who explained a confusing situation I'm sure [Music] number 43 [Music] [Applause] Ravin I may be wrong on this and if I am I'll certainly apologize next week but I think this is only true in this in the last two minutes of a half or the game that would be for a legitimate fumble they're calling this a forward pass even a fumble you're right about that rule okay watch this he gets hit from behind and he is not trying to advance this ball by himself watch him get hit here he's got his hip down we'll finish that in a second back live Williams throws a little flair pass out cut and down at the two yard line as Johnny Davis first time he's touched the ball today I believe first time you touch the ball this year that's right here's the rest of the play Edwards head is down [Music] reaches right out of his hand number 90 is just reaching forward to try to get as many yards as he possibly can directly on his beretta bad call by the officials but I can understand why they would make the call because his arm went forward so six of one half dozen of another can't get a score it's unforgiving you're right about the fumble though that would only happen in the final two minutes of the half in his second down and goal to go from the three [Music] Joneses had a marvelous afternoon I think that's the seventh judge on the afternoon and this looked like it was easy for dumpling okay now we'll forget that play if they hadn't scored he would have been upset but as I said it appears that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers make the duck dish look easy and don't make the easy catch at all that day for Gordon Jones last week of his Jimmy Giles with four receptions over a hundred yards narrow your premium will attempt to put on the 20th point kick is up and it is good so 509 to go regulation time and don't run too quickly 11 Boyd separates the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns and he may have an onside kick right after this I used to run through airports now I fly through with new

all shift to one side of Garrow you premium rounds Whitman Burrell down he goes at the 47 yard line at Tampa Bay it did not work the Browns have the wall there's a scoring 5 49 yards in 12 plays three minutes in 10 seconds of elapsed time and even in defeat this has been one great day for Doug Williams as they went right to personal highs 21 completions and forty two attempts both of those personal highs and when you consider the number of dropped passes he might have been a very very high percentage he's completing 50% today and if the several receivers had just caught easy passes he'd be close to 60% well a Bucs need a break there is no question about it from the 46 yard line has it first down but through it and right in the backfield Willis Adams in motion and my crew gets the call Miami Dolphins have come back strong Delvin Williams an 80-yard run from front of us down at one point 16 nothing at the Orange Bowl the Dolphins now lead the wallets 21 16 and the hapless Saints cannot do much right at least in 1980 and the Miami Dolphins every week dodged a bullet it's thick every single week so far this year they have dodged a bullet in second down in about nine more 33 to go in the game and the Browns working on the clock be conservative here he's got to throw it up if he needs it this is second down and nine [Music] Charles white cutting back to about the 42 yard line : Achtung down seven-year veteran out of Montana state hit me play with you at Cincinnati billboard yes he did it was a first round draft choice for the Bengals they released him and foot problems came down here to Tampa and did a fine job Tampa calls timeout they stopped the clock with 405 to go and don't forget we will join either the New York Jets in Baltimore Seattle and Washington immediately following our telecast here as duly Selman comes over to chat with the Tampa Bay coaching staff they have two timeouts remaining 405 to go in regulation ton Tom bass man there with what is that he's Bentley risque for sometime nd yes he is he was also an assistant at Cincinnati not with John McKay of course no with Paul Brown [Music] now they may have to go back to the drawing board after this one because Brian Sipe has picked their defense apart a great afternoon throwing for over 300 yards and his Bob mentioned earlier the first quarterback ever to throw for over 300 yards against Tampa Bay rather interesting and he's done it in three quarters two then four yards of Lachman in the first quarter third down conversions for Cleveland 7 of 12 Oh Danny white the duck Cosby five yards 21 seven two Cowboys maybe putting a nail in the coffin of Bart Starr the Green Bay Packers having all sorts of problems [Laughter] [Applause] swing [Music] stopping the clock the incompletion Andy Hawkins had the pressure got a flag and a branded answer Oh he had the pressure on site but he did a little bit too much and David Lewis is talking to the official about it referee jerry mark fried it'll do no good however it appears to be a roughing the passer against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now let's see is that an automatic first down say it would be yes fifteen yards and david lewis is absolutely livid and so so to the Tampa Bay coaching staff mckay having a few words this is Tom bass personal foul roughing the passer [Music] Andy Hawkins is the man we talked about and we'd only have to see it again because I think everybody looked away when he threw that swing pass out on the flat to Mike Pruitt 57 was complaining with Hawkins was the guilty party look at them that is really cost Pampa Bay in brought passes this football game those penalties 115 yards so on the graphic twelve those psyche will go back to work on the clock again this woman and a lot of passes have been thrown man to give Charles White gets to about the 25 stop there by mark cottony we on it we had up all the passes thrown in his football game today I think you probably it won't be a record but it will account for the fact that we've had so many stoppages of the clock and the back of this game has drawn so long gain of a couple of yards second down and eight for the former Heisman Trophy winner how many passes have they thrown today mr. something when I guess I'd say about 80 75 very close 75 42 by Tampa and for Cleveland 33 it's second down and eight from the third from the 25-yard line of the Buccaneers in the Browns well on their way to winning their second football game of the year and their second in a row good run by white inside the 22 the 18 it was caught me again along with Scott Bradley number 52 a rookie linebacker out of Florida uncharacteristic game because of time it's also defensively very uncharacteristic for the Tampa Bay Bucs they have not allowed this many yards and since they've been in existence and that's a great performance by the Cleveland Brown I think if I were John Mackay I'd have reason to be concerned his team's given up fifty nine point to the last two Sunday afternoons and this was the number one ranked defense in the NFL in 1979 and they gave up most of those points in the third and in three quarters in this game in two quarters last week they allowed only 237 points all the last year third down the give to white again and I don't know you may have gotten close to the first down it doesn't make a lot of difference because they're going to run this down to the two-minute warning I'd go for if I were sample took me on I think he will I'm gonna be very close mark taught me on that tackle the blitzing strong safety camp is not giving up but he will 5 left in this football game you look at a obviously dejected quarterback Doug Williams on the sidelines we have reached the two-minute warning here in Tampa and many of the 72,000 started the day with us have headed for the exits and probably are in the car on the expressway somewhere getting home juhi Selman is talking with his mentor Tom mass when the Browns have this one in the bag America is not going to be pushed around anymore here come the K cars introducing Taj Aries K America's highest mileage front-wheel drive cars with six passenger Rome Dodge Aries 2-door sedan Aries 4-door wagon Aries 4-door sedan the weight of Aries engine is directly over the front driving wheels for a markable traction with Aries K pulling for you America's not gonna be pushed around anymore as your Dodge Ram dealer the American way to beat the pump take a little black for the winning team okay are you going to do that for us [Music] but a bunch of guys really go at it this hard just for a beer we'll consider its Michelob light and that means a rich smooth taste you can compare to any beer you like you guys never played like that before we never played for a Michelob light before Michelob light compare the taste so on fourth down and two yards to go the Cleveland Browns will go forth from the 19 yard line of Tampa Bay strategy session on the sidelines to Sam Rutigliano talk about possibility they're not gonna go on fourth down unless it go up oh very smart site calls the time and Hillary smart trying to draw Tampa Bay offside here get the automatic first down exactly now they'll try for the field goal I would imagine very very smart try to pick up the first down just by motion we got a scorer in on the Baltimore jets game they have just started and Joe Washington has run five yards Baltimore seven the New York Jets nothing some of you will see that game immediately following this one others will see Seattle in Washington where there is no score in the nation's capitol here it's 31 to 20 the Cleveland Browns well on their way to victory number two in a row having beaten Kansas City last week for their first victory 20 to 13 I'll tell you Bob I'd the Browns are going to be hurt from before 80 is over I and the offense is one thing they knew they have that but I still have impressive only recalled the cardiac kids last year the first three games this season and defibrillation but today the Oh off the 36-yard attempt I think he was partially blocked but it's up and good everything the Browns are doing turns out all right for them today I think somebody got a hand on that but Cockroft had enough to get it through and a 36-yard field goal by Cockroft makes it 34 to 20 the Cleveland Browns late first attempt at Don Cockroft made when he came on a few when he ran on the field his knee appeared to pop out wait a minute wait a minute if you joined a station it's the heck of a football game you're right it's all over look you can see John Cockcroft limping his left knee kind of popped out on him they had to take a timeout he would off the field came in and kick the field goal now do you believe in miracles the Tampa Bay Buccaneers happen to score two touchdowns two conversions in the last one minute 56 seconds here to send this game into overtime if you're from Tampa you believe in miracles here's our first score out of San Francisco Kim Mazzetti a 40-yard field goal Atlanta leaves undefeated San Francisco Giants or San Francisco 49ers 3 to nothing that's baseball's yeah that's baseball well this is the time of the year when they all overlapping it we got hockey starting 227 yards in 6th place 3 minutes and 9 seconds off the clock khakhra the 36-yard field goal as you look at him now I went over the 1,000 career point last Sunday afternoon yup remian did it today Don Cockroft 2nd to Lou Groza mostly Davis back to about the 18-yard line and drop there and our maiden stop in this series the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with Doug still a quarterback spot go to work with a minute 51 to go in the game [Music] it would take a minor miracle for them to come up with that many points to make Oh would it but it's straight up to touchdown Ranger things have happened Hagen's wide to the right Gordon Jones has got two touchdown passes to the left are looking for jobs but they throw it to acquit 2530 and out of bounds you got the first down and stuffing block number 21 Oliver Davis got over there to knock him out of bounds a 15 yard game however Davis wasn't supposed to play today he has a bad knee a strained knee we love a performance by the Cleveland Browns heck of a performance in this heat in this humidity Sam Rutigliano is got to be very happy with his football team and 34 points against Tampa the offense finally got on track this is the biggest output of the year for an offensive unit that was number three last year neck with low pass makes the good catch get out of bounds he tried to good trying to keep him in bounds of good Windsor oh what a great battle good just picked him up and brought him back involves an excellent it's not like it all the way he was handled by Don good the former San Diego Chargers linebacker in his seventh year out of Kansas that was kind of a mismatch good at 6-2 235 and a flag is down inequity is six feet 200 pounds here it is again Bob this one as I said it went against Cleveland it appears that ecwid can make the tough catch but not so easy kiss mr. good is blue extracurricular activity there there's no doubt about it got a guy who's behind well he comes up fight and the clock stops again with a minute to have to go in our referee Jerry Mark Rutte walks off the 15 yards Tampa Bay now has it at the Cleveland 43 yard line and here's [Music] see Frank's first great Charles could have called that penalty and the clock remains stopped and will not start here until we get back into motion Doug Williams supporter but poor Joe [Applause] [Music] all of our scores final score buffaloes in Oakland 20:47 Houston over Cincinnati 13 to 10 Detroit remains undefeated 27 seven over Minnesota Pittsburgh 30 even three over the Bears New Orleans trailing Miami now 21:16 that is final that is now final Miami has won the game Los Angeles over the Giants 28 to 7 fourth quarter the biggest upset of the day the Cardinals leading Philadelphia 17 7 Dallas still in the 3rd quarter leading Green Bay 21 7 Baltimore 7 nothing over the jet sets in the first quarter and Atlanta lead San Francisco 3 nothing in the first quarter going out in the planet out of bounds Gary Davis at about the 26 or 36 yard line make that stopping the clock again defense done a good job here in this situation Williams is not able to throw the ball down the field throwing to those running backs in this situation in this 2-minute situation the defensive backs and linebackers of the Cleveland Browns are only protecting the yardage behind him we're given 15 or 20 yards every pop I just don't want to let them get into the end zone the next eight or ten seconds go from the 36 yard line it's a third down and three now for Williams 34 to 20 the Browns lead Williams sending everybody out throws it over the middle it's complete about 25 yard line Gary Davis again that should be good enough for half of a first out of the timeout the Williams will head to the sidelines again his conference with John McKay and Bill Nelson the line of scrimmage the 25-yard line of Cleveland and they have given Tampa Bay everything underneath obviously but they're not going to give him the big one in the Bucs have one timeout remaining Tucker Williams is throwing the ball 47 times today 25:47 for the day I cannot believe that was Tampa Bay's game no I just can't believe to throw the ball and by the time this one's over in the fourth quarter the Cardinals have scored again and the Philadelphia Eagles appear to be headed for their first defeat of 1980 24 to cept there is not an invincible team in pro football anymore Bob I'm convinced of it Oh Jay Anderson is 37 yard run well that's why they have the ball pointed it around I think it always takes those funny bounces that's why they don't have guineas in football never can tell what might happen on the last play of the game and the people I play with they don't have guineas you golf one time on left for Tampa Bay first down at the 25 of Cleveland Williams again play-action looking growing downfield he's got a man open Gordon Jones trying to make the one-handed catch was knocked out of bounds but the bass was overthrown Oliver Davis with the coverage on too much they used to call him at Pitt you know and had too tall Jones is a take-off on that they used to call him Gordon too much Jones too much what that's too much though I say too much not a bad day but in a losing effort so I don't imagine I'll be much celebrating by mr. Jones but silver lining in this cloud will be that maybe Tampa Bay has smiled an outside threat Gordon Jones yes sir yes forgive me this game they really hadn't thrown him on to the I have completed passes in three games to the outside receivers in here Jones getcha seven and one boy I'm sure will accentuate your positive after this minute seven to go Williams on second and ten throws it downfield [Laughter] [Music] right through his hands he was trying to also stay inbound and he may have taken his eye off the ball or just a minute and out and up and if he too caught this ball I don't think it would have counted anyway but it went right through his hands looked like the thing touches me I would have all of the receivers on this Tampa Bay team into the optometrist for an eye examination I swear to you third down with a minute two to go if nothing else Henry Bradley got his hand up he was been kind of taking a peek they're making sure Doug Williams didn't run with the football he's no linebacker number 91 fourth down so we're down to what could be our final play of the game for Tampa Bay from the 25 its fourth down to ten Larry mucker is into the lineup 58 seconds left in this game that would seem endless to some it is already gone three hours and 25 minutes seems a lot longer for the Tampa fans and it does the Cleveland planche and believe me you're right Williams last hurrah buggers down after making the catch but at least he held onto the football and its first down and goal to go for the Buccaneers who try to get in one more time and they take another timeout and that is their last one I think this is just a lack of concentration on the Cleveland defense he is wide open and duck kind of sidearm that ball in there but he put it right on the money well he does that quite often that's 18 yards on that reception and Williams is now thrown at 50 times in his previous record was 38 fifty-one times excuse me 307 yards he's only had one other 300 yard game and that was 318 yards so he's having a heck of a day and I repeat can you imagine how many yards he would have if some of the easy passes that he'd thrown today would have been caught you're absolutely right III was thinking for a moment that if Brian Sipe did not have a sore arm before today's game he may have won after he stone the boss he put it up 35 times himself they have really filled the air with footballs today 48 seconds to go in a 34 to 20 football game in which the Cleveland Browns appear headed for their second victory of 1980 these two quarterbacks have put it up now 84 times on this day Bob and I expect to have the Cleveland Denver game next Sunday which should be a dandy Cleveland's Stadium and maybe they might feel that place again they certainly deserve a lot of credit off this ring on first down Williams looking in the end zone throws it out here all alone touchdown Tampa Bay gariac wood touchdown catch 45 seconds that play took three and put the extra point and a good successful onside kick we could have something that is also a record for Doug Williams the first time he's thrown three touchdowns in a regular season game and I see heck what catches the touchdown passes not sure about the rest of them that's ten catches for ecwid on the day can you imagine that ten catches and I figure he dropped five at least this game is not over here comes the onside kick after this extra point your premiums boot is up and good and we have a 34 in 27 football game although flag is down a penalty marker is down a Jerry mark right listening to his colleagues to see exactly what this is all about and fall on the defense it prevented the snap no play the penalty will be enforced on the kickoff well I think he made that one perfectly clear what do you mean no play well that means the extra point is no good - laughs - kick it again but the five yards will be walked off on the kickoff I see why couldn't they just take the extra point yeah that's unfortunate sometimes it may have before presumably before before the ball is adapt is just a dead play okay thank you very much you gotta kick it again but they're gonna get five yards out of this thing at the end the Bremen does it again he's had to do a lot of ii ii take said knee and he had to do a field goal twice early in the game but Garros had a nice day he's enjoyed it although his teammates are still down by seven but they are not dead with 45 seconds to play and you know what's coming don't you yes 3427 football game everybody gathered at the sign line with the special teams coach last time they kicked it to the Browns side on the onside kick will they try the other side well walk off the five and so your mea will hit kick it from his own 40-yard line resumable it makes no difference where they kick it from has got to go ten yard it does indeed but if they recover the ball then we five yard closer to the Cleveland goal line now the five-yard walk-off and you premium he'll kick it for reporting Richie Drucker over on a Cleveland Oliver Davis on the Tampa Bay side [Music] they also have Calvin Hill they got Cleveland has all their players with the best hand that last drive for Tampa all right the game is really boil down to this half of a must recover this onside attempt by you premium there it is [Music] [Applause] and what a day that young man is had he was beaten early by Gordon Jones then made the two interceptions now cannot hold on to the onside kick it's recovered by Aaron Brown hold on or if they come back to win this football game it will absolutely kill Cleveland Tampa will go crazy do you remember what I said was 6/10 showing on the clock watch this there was plenty of time left if the Buccaneers could get their act together that little bounce off the off the ground kept it on the line get the down on the ground Burrell couldn't pick up the handle here we go with no timeouts Williams from the 49-yard line of Cleveland grows a swing faster no he did not make it at the 42 yard line and the clock continues to run 31 seconds to play the tough thing about this Sam is that they have to get it in the end zone they've got to go 43 yards in order to tie the score 22 seconds Williams throws one not about stopping the clock with 18 seconds left in the game [Music] well if they pull this off it's unfortunate for Tampa Bay that Bell could not get out of bounds because to get that's the clock recycle to get themselves going again they lost 14 seconds which you probably could run off two or three plays at least two plays you're absolutely right that's the most dangerous time here's the onside kick again you've watched a little hop this Baltic Sea swimming it on the side of the ball hit him on the point of the ball Morel never even came close like a shortstop he needed a globe out there third and four but more importantly only 18 seconds left in the game the Tampa Bay must get it into the end zone from the brown 43 yard line Williams dumps went out to bail 40 12 seconds left first down at the Cleveland 35 they gave a mint when the Browns wisely gave them to throw underneath and all those people who drove away from here earlier now got the volume control up on the radio I guarantee you portable television in their limousine first-timers in New York well seconds Doug Williams 35 yards away from pulling off a near miracle and threat of Doug Williams running the football very important in this situation Jones the outside receiver on the left Williams over the middle throws at the 22 yard line I'm never gonna never get it off four seconds three seconds two seconds the clock will run down electing to go over the middle the Browns allowed them the completion the Jimmy Giles they got to the 20-yard line but that's as far as they got and this game has ended I'm sure Sam Rutigliano blood pressure is up at the moment wow what a finish we've complemented Doug Williams all day I think you made a mistake throwing it down the middle with only 12 seconds to go no way you can throw the ball down the middle okay the final score hope you enjoyed it Cleveland 34 Tampa
