1982 - Week 8 - Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins

night football tonight featuring two of the most respected coaches in the game chuck knox first of the bills 10th season the jets the lions the rams and the builds the boulder have reached the ground it's the dolphins a good year blimp enterprise is a perfect night for football and we're live from the orange bowl in miami florida abc's nfl monday night football the buffalo bills battling the miami dolphins this abc sports exclusive is being brought to you by dotson who invite you to test drive the exciting new nissan pulsar nx at your dobson dealers and by the budweiser for all you do this bud's for you and by the u.s armed forces it's a great place to start frank gifford along with howard cosell and fran tarkinton and howard quickly warm up your size seven or eight computer and run down the overall afc picture for us so try to simplify it for you those five teams have clinched playoff berts miami is in blue to emphasize that it's an important game for them tonight we'll get to that in a moment let's go on these teams are still eligible buffalo and blue if they win tonight they clinch a play-off first so a critical game for the bills and then those teams eliminated now why is tonight important for miami if they can win tonight win their next game they get the whole field the home field advantage throughout the playoffs skipper we're ready for the kickoff and we will try to explain why a little later on because at the moment as you saw the raiders on top of the afc with the seven and one mark they'll play san diego next sunday set to go the bills will kick off the dolphins will receive a friend herrera to put it in play that's fulton walker a year ago he returned one 90 yards against the bill for a touchdown the man could fly set to go big game for both ball clubs in a nine-game season high kick that carries into the end zone deep for herrera holden walker will stay there it'll be first and ten at the 20-yard line and we'll watch as david woodley opens for the miami dolphins i say open because if you follow these dolphins you know that they'll switch around if he's not going well they'll bring in don strzok as they did last week who engineered a victory over the jets the offensive line solid offensive line they moved people in and out according to condition of course tony nathan will be in there much of the time and it's a passing situation they'll bring in a tommy vigorito there they are glitchenberg a veteran who's gone to the pro bowl as both a guard and a tackle for these dolphins over his 13 years woodley looks it over first and ten 20 yard line for the miami dolphins two tight ends are in hardy 84 li 86 and andra franklin is taken behind the line of scrimmage it was chris keating from his inside linebacking position let's take a look at that three-man front that the bills will show you much of the time one of the best in the business on the nose tackle fred smirles isaiah robertson he'll stay in there against the pass better against the pass than the run a couple of youngsters in the middle keating and marv all in all a solid defensive team framed the bills questionable perhaps offensively second down and 12 following the loss of two tony nathan single setback he wears 22. the 18. woodley has the time and coming out of the backfield is nathan he gets back and just over the original line of scrimmage where it will be third and nine what we have here gif are the two highest rated defensive football teams there are in buffalo and miami the two quarterbacks woodley and ferguson are the two lowest rated passes in football obviously the trouble with both teams is instability at the quarterback position ferguson since the strike was ended has thrown one touchdown pass he's had 12 interceptions and they have suffered and tonight is a critical game for the buffalo bills at four and three third down and nine out of the shotgun is david woodley flag is down whitley fires gets it into vicarito who would have the first down but again a flag is down where free tonight is dick jorgensen he'll be chatting with us number 67 offense bob kutzenberg moving prematurely on the left side and a first down will be negated they'll bring it back now i don't know they've marked the ball inside the 30 which would be short of the first down to bring up a fourth and offense still third down buffalo takes the penalty so it will be third down and 14. and now you see the changes for buffalo they take out three linebackers keating mar parker they bring in chris williams and they bring in lamar parish and for the dolphins they bring in joe rose he is the receiving tight end vigorito in the backfield number 32 the receiving back out of the backfield whitney going for rose [Applause] and a collision downfield on an untouchable ball no flag steve freeman good position on joe rose the ball thrown on the opposite side of rose uncatchable it was not countable gif and really they could have called offensive pass interference against rose because he knocked steve freeman down the fans here kind of looked at it the other way but that's the way it was howard yes or us on on fourth down robert holt is dropping and depending upon the kick buffalo ought to have good field position because holt has positioned himself but his own 43-yard line orris a high kicker not a long kicker second-year man out of ohio state [Applause] it hangs up doesn't turn over and this will be holt from the 42. good coverage and he gets away from the first dolphin and then is hammered to the turf with a 37-yard line so it'll be first down and 10. the buffalo bills joe ferguson comes out on the year he's 52.2 and one other thing we might point out at the very top as we look at ferguson the bills have not won a game in the orange goal since 1966 first game the man that could help them right there joe cripps mr versatility for the bills offensive line they face tradition they face a history of failure against the dolphins in the series 26 6 and 1 the dolphins lead incredible first down 10 37-yard line of the buffalo bills their first possession cribs big hole look out and joe krebs could go all the way there's a sprint for the end zone and krebs will win this grant first play right side over joe devlin john borchardt big gaping hole touchdown buffalo no problem for ferguson brad well can you believe believe this that's a great tradition in a hurry that's indeed temple handoff zone black and there's reggie mckenzie coming around and throwing the block there's leaks throwing a block and then it's a foot race between don mcneal here comes gerald small he almost catches him from the back but he didn't 63-yard touchdown for joe cribbs very first play of the game and you're right you picked it up reggie mckenzie pulling from the left side key block he's the key the juice remembers them well herrera for the conversion dolphin fans sellout crowd stunned by an electrifying 63-yard touchdown run joe cripps and the bells on the scoreboard they lead seven to nothing and the longest run of joe crips professional career so as we said at the top of the show the bills have offensive weapons too we'll be right back that's number 20. joe cribs out of office joe i know ralph wilson your owner isn't here tonight laid up sick just a few miles north of here but i know you want more money and you just proved you may be entitled to it ralph would love to hear that right golden walker deep once again for miami was there a short while ago as you recall herrera to kick off bails out on top seven to nothing flag is down the bills are off side of the kickoff walker should take a chance no matter what and he does not apparently not seeing the flag one would suspect the bills will be backed up and kicked from the 30. they were way ahead of herrera on the kickoff one point if as we start this game listen to the penalty the buffalo bills have the win at their back it's a pretty strong win they need to score points while they have the win at their back if you saw the kickoff go out of almost out of the end zone offside number 51 kicking team win penalty re-kick window no win fran i've never seen herrera get this distant to me herrera has been a consequential pass receiver in the jack patera scheme of things well he threw passes he caught passes from from fake and field goals and he's done it here with buffalo already the prank president is our referee frank calm composed man and a good one he is if you're in the banking business calm and composed they back it up five from the 30-yard line now for herrera should give walker an opportunity to exercise his speed and he's got it [Applause] stunning 63-yard touchdown run first play from the line of scrimmage for the bills and the bills on top 7-0 not an absolute must game but a loss tonight will put the bills in pretty tough shape they play new england at new england next sunday fulton walker at the goal line herrera again with a breeze a friend spoke up kicking off this time he does not get under it walker from the four-yard line and walker works his way out over the 30-yard line at the 32-yard line lou picone defensively there for the bills and we'll see miami now for their second possession of the night [Applause] 12 36 remaining in the first quarter and already the bill's on the scoreboard as we await woodley and the dolphins offense here it is to note howard that david woodley is the only starting quarterback in the national football league that has not thrown for at least 200 yards a game that's an incredible statistic literally of course not the most accurate of throwers when the dolphins get in a situation like that they'll bring in don strzok but he gives him that extra dimension beca dementia because he is the second leading rusher on the dolphins 32 yard line hardy in motion flag is down as nathan drives the left side and gets about four out to the 38 yard line we'll await the call but offside bill's offside buffalo encroachment but tony nathan is healthy for the first time this season he's had a good practice this week there is one of my guys what a coach but a turnaround he did when he came to the rams to buffalo came in 1978 here's our call now from dick encrustment number 62 defense still first up big strong side linebacker ervin parker at his nose across the line of scrimmage down remains the same so it's first down at five the ball at the 38-yard line nat moore in the game now number 89. a lot of people have wondered why they have not seen more of nat more this year falcons all-time leading receiver top of your screen franklin franklin powering looking for the first down he could be a little short franklin has really given don chula the type of fullback that he likes on his offensive unit big strong get the tough yardage for you took great patience frank he was not the big running back at his college nebraska but it took great patience he came in as a blocking back the dolphins had lost their number one draft choice the running back overstreet and now franklin has become in the manner perhaps of william andrews without the same strength and skill a very important and successful running back he came into the nine howard with 593 yards he needs unofficially 82 yards tonight to take over the russian league in the nfl now i'm told 111 yards he needs yeah freeman mcneil picked up 82 against minnesota yesterday so 111 will put franklin in the lead in the nfl after eight games if he can do it tonight second down you saw how much franklin and vigorito stay in there together and now vigorito flanked out to the left and franklin a single setback easy first down at the 45-yard line and miami gets their first down into the note there frank buffalo did not go into a real tight short yardage defense they just about said okay miami we're going to give up the little one-inch run for the first down but we don't want you to strike quick on us and hit a long pass which shula is very capable of calling in that situation sellout crowd 75 000 plus the game is not sold out in time to lift the blackout so it is blacked out in the miami area and that of course stimulated sales rather vigorously over the past couple of days first and ten just over the 45 yard behind the dolphins trailing seven or nothing we're in the first quarter from miami inside handoff to nathan walls lewis the bill say they've got it bills are saying they have it well i thought well they do have it i think they've got dolphin on it tony nathan topped it up right over midfield and the buffalo bills will have good field position again hope to their own 49-yard line steve freeman the safety came up with it zimmer type play exactly the same type of play that joe cripps scored on a minute ago he gets the ball stripped there's a dolphin there about to fall on it but didn't quite get it he misses it and there goes steve freeman diving in and gets it trickle down right between his legs and the buffalo bill steve freeman gives the bills great field position close to midfield we'll be back with action in a moment west virginia tackles florida state in the gator bowl thursday night on abc [Music] fumble football by tony nathan recovery by the bills [Applause] freeman the first down and 10 for buffalo near midfield they've only run one offensive play a 63-yard touchdown and now roosevelt leaks and roosevelt leaks out inside the 45-yard line gain of seven he's been simply amazing he has finally found the form that was his at texas he's been in the league eight years knee troubles derailed him and then after laying off a year and a half in effect denise seemed to have healed and he is running brilliant came a cropper with a critical fumble first one in 73 carries against stanford but running president second down three calling the 43 yard line of the dolphins cribs and as he does so well he pecks along as he finds a little gap slides to it gets the first down if when your quarterback is struggling as you mentioned about joel ferguson you said that he's thrown since the strike 12 interceptions and only one touchdown when you get when you get a running game going like this it sure helps his confidence also and makes his job a lot easier and i'm sure joe is glad to see cribs and leaks in this offensive line working as they are it does make the pass offense work so much easier when that defensive team has to think run 39-yard line first down ten buffalo mosley in motion ferguson complete to the ancient one frank lewis and brilliant one i might add he'll have the first down he's been suffering through a series of injuries a back problem knee problems but lewis gets the first down inside the 30 yard line well the point about lewis the man from grambling as we look at him and iso and butler is that they're both healthy together for the first time in many weeks and they each had a very good and full weeks practice when you get up to about 35 years old it helps when you spend a week in the sun as buffalo did they took a week of training here at zero beach in florida other than buffalo on first and ten trips and haul down from behind cribs has taken there by larry gordon the outside linebacker tough against the run is larry gordon frangia what jeff said when you get to be 35 years old wouldn't you love to be in that again i'm not far from it not bad if you're a dentist but when you come across the middle running into safety man 35 is a little long in the tooth jeff we just watched gordon make the play the miami front seven they are big a lot of height a lot of bulk in there they are probably as good a front seven as there is in football loss to three second down 13. they mark it just inside the 30 yard line lewis copy with screen that's cribs in motion good receiver joe cribbs try it up the middle roosevelt leaks and he pops it inside the 25 to the 24 but it'll be third down and long third down and seven [Applause] tom chula looking for that 200th win fourth winningest coach in the history of this game more importantly as an active coach if he wins his 200th tonight the only man ahead of him is dorm lander himself an extraordinary and brilliant coach he's at 202 but tom has coaxed about 40 games more than schuler which gives you an idea about chula third down seven three wide receivers mosley joins cacone and butler and lewis uh ferguson what does it like something paul's time out [Applause] what did i say it was going to be on and it could very well have been that oh my goodness that is a big penalty i don't think he tried to call timeout i think and he didn't get it in i don't think chuck is happy office still third dog but what it does it jeopardizes field goal positions exactly they don't make the first down and if they can get points here they make it very difficult for miami to come back and they're not a passing team hard for them to come back from 14 points down or 10. third down and 12. shotgun flooding the backs and the receivers to the right side ferguson cribs go to the first down cribs is hustled back almost to midfield but it'll be marked at the inside the 26-yard line well within the range of efran herrera don mcneil there defensively for the dolphins 7-12 remaining in the first quarter the clock moving and miami leading seven to nothing obviously the strategy the knox had then we're just trying to get the the field goal and uh forget the touchdown but herrera has not been kicking field goals with that degree of consistency he's missed a couple from 34 from 32 he's five and nine joined the bills right after the strike they bobble this one that's kofler the rookie quarterback cochlear is going to be close to a first down he got it matt cochler the rookie quarterback from san diego state [Applause] i think he made he did got it that was a heady move cochlear bobbled the ball that wasn't too good he looked for a receiver there were none and then he knew he had to run there's a good snap he just dropped it herrera is now going to try to block but he's going the wrong way that goes coco good speed watching jump here this makes it for him right there some effort matt koepler great passing quarterback at san diego state broke dennis shaw's record down there also the records of brian site but he was not known as one of your basic runners and he gets a key first down for the bills keeps it alive with the 16-yard line of miami france big opening in the midland crib barrels to the 10-yard line gain of six it'll be second down and four friend and that game plan they know something about clearly about miami's line they are pouring through that what they're doing is attacking the right up the middle of the of the defensive of miami and you must think that will grant john borchardt and reggie mckenzie are doing some kind of a job of blowing the middle of miami's defense out of there second down and four that's the time remaining in the first quarter leaks another big opening and leaks down close to the five but a flag is down just to comment on the way miami defense is handling the run game they they will back the bills up now with the holding call but while they are second in the nfl overall defense first against the pass in the american conference they are 12th against the run and that is where buffalo has been exploiting them tonight [Applause] it's a very good comment holding number 53 offense still second down will grant right where the hole was open holding for buffalo that four shot has become a great offensive lineman out of montana state unnoticed critical start last year against the jets playoff game proved out second down 14. [Applause] here comes the blitz trying to find some running room and works his way back close to the original line of scrimmage where it'll be third down and close to 10. he's a snake back there though isn't he but you know when when chuck knocks on second and 14 down on that part of the field calls a running play you know that he has not much confidence right now and the way his passing game is that's true but now on third and 11 gift i would think they've got to put it up third and long from the shotgun cacone is going butler and lewis as wide receivers cribs of course dangerous out of the backfield there was movement and i believe it was buffalo with a back moving toward the line of scrimmage everybody's pointing the other way reggie's pointing the other way but i think frank's right i think they induced it reggie's a little lobbying that's all within the rules of the game yep they sure did the bills will be backed up once again there it was jack kemp by the way is here tonight with his son jimmy and his wife joanne nice to be with them again i mean the son and the wife and you know you notice who the miami quarterback was there the son of the coach his name was george wilson number 53 offense still third down as a lock tonight jack who's become one of the most consequential congressmen in this country representing the republican party in erie county is doing color on radio to buffer he's trying to revive the bill would you give him a few hints about that now howard today third down 16. ball right at the 22 yard line from the shotgun ferguson fires it in to the tight end bramer framers short of the first down and we'll have another look at herrera and matt coppler frank that's a giveaway down i mean yet you're in field goal territory anyway you gotta try to get a first down at the very least howard you're telling it like it is that's exactly right you should throw for the end zone in that situation take your shot at the touchdown if you miss it you're well within the field goal range with the win in his back he's deemed double that maybe a 33-yard attempt repeating herrera's numbers he's 5-9 of the year it up puts it through the uprights and the bells move out to a 10-nothing lead 4-16 remaining in the first quarter the bills four and three the dolphins five and two we'll be back television's most awesome achievement premieres sunday february 6 the winds of war orange ball in miami the dolphins with a win tonight and a win next week at baltimore would have home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs you mentioned that at the top of the show trying to explain a little later on we get our computer steamed up as to why that situation exists but right now this fulton walker awaiting the kickoff of a friend herrera 4 16 remains in the first quarter off the side of herrera's foot and now herrera will be kicking from his 30-yard line and they'll bring it back i mentioned the bills have had problems with the kicker they've drafted out of syracuse in the seventh round a kicker named gary anderson who was over five in pre-season they let him go they brought in nick mickemeyer for the first two games then herrera got in contract problems out in seattle and he was available and they brought herrera in as a matter of fact the last game before the strike the enterprise hovering around with our captain don muskanak a former quarterback himself the university of miami our cameraman up there charlie mitchell and our video technician lee burton beautiful night as i said we feel for you people around the country that are suffering from some really adverse weather conditions but i hope we're helping to cheer your night up just a little bit the dolphins and the bills how long are you staying down here i'll be back tomorrow sure would be nice so it's been beautiful once again folden walker herrera five-yard assessment kicks from the 30. he'll have a hard time reaching the end zone [Applause] walker again looks to the outside and breaks it out over the 30-yard line close to the 33-yard line reminding you of the bowl action coming your way here on abc thursday night west virginia and florida state in the gator bowl and then number one georgia led by heisman trophy winner herschel walker needs number two penn state in the game for the national championship at eight o'clock eastern time new year's night and fran sincerely came to your alma mater he has really turned their program around before herschel came they were six and five the three years he's been there there are 33 wins and two losses howard that man is amount he is indeed riding 34 yard line first and 10. [Applause] [Music] now that was well played on both things woodley threw the ball well and harris came back on the football he did and mario clark covered it as well as a cornerback to cover it perfectly executed offensive play good defense that will help woodley's confidence i'm sure [Applause] ariel harris one of the more acrobatic receivers in pro football doesn't have that great speed but he can find that opening you always had receivers who knew how to come back on the football gilliam in his good years sammy white too you know frank i was really blessed with great receivers and they were smart receivers and when i scrambled they ran to me and you you talked about them sammy white also bob tucker defensively now for the bells they're fine defensive linebacker jim hazlett in the lineup that orthoscopic knee surgery four weeks ago and they were concerned whether or not they should try and bring him back but he's worked well in practice particularly this past week at vero beach it's a little warmer than it would be in buffalo he's in there and of course shane nelson their great inside linebacker gone for the season following this year's first game so they've had to make adjustments you saw how much second down and inches they've been stacked up but he's through the 45-yard line for a first down and speaking of the sugar bowl howard one of our friends and pals and great production man chuck howard will be there and he had himself a tragedy a very great tragedy his dad suffered a heart attack passed away and of course everybody at abc extends our deepest sympathies to chuck to everybody in the family but chuck's a soldier and he'll be producing the sugar bowls first down to ten 45-yard line 2 45 the clock is moving you're in the first quarter and the bills on top 10 to nothing rollout by woodley clinton first down and more before he's colored by parker inside the 45-yard line and a flag goes down and parker might have got a little overly aggressive with whitney he clearly did that will be faced off well let's watch here's a here's a typical schuler play luke uses the running ability of woodley he had a receiver deep he's going to go out of bound this watch parker yep he got a little overzealous there and they threw the flag and they tacked on 15 more but howard i love to see a schuler game plan he's down 10 to nothing but he's not panicking he's not throwing long passes he's running the ball the short passes and keeps the ground going you're exactly right unnecessary roughness out of bounds number 62 defense first off in that vein fran let me tell a quick story it's right before the opening game miami against the jet shea stadium schuler asks for a meeting with the officials he says gentlemen i have two things to ask you one remember that a quarterback out of a shotgun can become a receiver then the official said what's the second thing he said don't tell the jets and of course nathan threw the woodley who had taken the shotgun giving it to nathan woodley touchdown that's schuler first down 10 franklin close to the 26-yard line for a gain of three perhaps four call it second down and six [Applause] true story gif i know the man is always working always in the middle of the game but he's smart he says you don't beat the jets or any team on gimmicks you beat him on good solid football remember he lost the super bowl game to the jets january 12 1969 his late owner carol rosenbloom said he couldn't win the big win but he's won since then second down six [Applause] woodley timing pattern and it will be picked off intended for vigorito steve freeman reading it perfectly woodley just tried to lay it up and coming down with it was steve freeman that was just plain a bad pass fran man was totally covered beautiful coverage it starts off with a bad decision it's easy to see it from up here everybody says that but woodley should have been throwing to the right the center phone to the right he throws to the left he had no chance at all over there freeman had to play defense beautifully interception resulted vigorito moved to square out down freeman read it all the way turnover will be back steve freeman gets the turnover for the buffalo bills who are out of head of the miami dolphins 10 to nothing 143 remaining in the first quarter the bells have the ball at their own four-yard line roosevelt leaks over the five close to the seven yard line and he's driven back second down and seven now the dolphins want two things here gif they want to keep buffalo pinned down there they'd like the first quarter to run out so buffalo would have to punt against the win and it's a pretty good win and then they would have good field position to try it again you know buffalo's the only team in the national football league that has not been scored on in the first quarter [Applause] second down the touchdown i mean phil goliath cribs almost breaks it through the gap on the right side taken there close to the 11 yard line short of the first down it'll be third down and two bob krazinski was there and the builds play new england next week and they're traveling with their own snowplow man they've got that all worked out they've got four pages of rules on it now i might point out on the competition committee but not attending that meeting i think he didn't have a phone call in there third down long two cribs following leaks he gets a block from leaks and that was the football but i think he was down yes he'll have the first down they have marked it close to the 16-yard line guess i'm talking a lot of the dolphin players they thought the key was joe ferguson they said joe ferguson can get rattled he can have great games but he can go the other direction so far tonight really joe ferguson hasn't been a a factor chuck knox has taken the game away from he said joe hand the ball off to cribs and leaks and that's what they've been doing hey that can't happen we saw him a year ago with 20 of 29 338 yards three touchdowns and one over miami 31-21 in buffalo earlier this year he was 12 for 28 140 yards and five interceptions against miami he can be already into the first quarter we'll be back sellout of the orange bowl the buffalo bills leading to miami dolphins 10 to nothing if you weren't with us first play from scrimmage joe cripps exploded for a 63-yard touchdown run for the buffalo bills jimmy connors here tonight whether he knows it or not our davis got captain arthur ashe is also here tonight it's a big night for tennis and start playing davis cup jimmy from the 16-yard line first down buffalo roosevelt leaks battles his way close to the 20-yard line for a gain of about four it'll be second down and six next to last game for our traveling show we'll move on to minneapolis next week the dallas cowboys and the minnesota vikings get together up there the myth of invincibility punctured yesterday by the eagles who played a sterling defensive game the vikes if washington loses in dallas wins though next week dallas has the home field advantage second down four buffalo inside their own 20-yard line cribs and cribs is taken by one foot there by folk hamper short of the first down at the 23-yard line it'll be third down and three [Applause] and we get the change-ups offensively for the bills as they bring in their passing units that means lou pacone another wide receiver joins gary butler and frank lewis and the dolphins bring out a pair of linebackers but in this situation gif they've been running but now they're in the shotgun so you think they're going to throw for it wide open is for cohn a flag is down and it could have been a late hit on ferguson because the flag came late for conan as the first down yardage he's up around the 38 yard line interesting they wait the way they put bacon in on short passing yardage situation [Applause] frank was right on the goal they used pacone in steadland number one draft choice the speedster perry tuttle from clemson because pacone is a hard-nosed tough little guy and great on short passing yardage situations and you just saw the hit in the head by boat camper vote camper watch this you cannot hit the quarterback in the head ferguson gets rid of the ball thrown to the cone and there's the hit right in the head if he'd hit him lower it'd have been a legal play but he didn't and the first down yardage obtained by picone the penalty tacked on and the first down for the bills with the 10 to nothing lead is at the 47-yard line of the miami dolphins we are in the early going of the second quarter leaks back in along with crib setbacks for the bills [Applause] ferguson puts everyone in the pattern and he fires it out to the tight end buster barnett [Applause] and barnett will pick up yardage give him eight it'll be second down and two we'll look at the first quarter stats and it shows domination rushing yards and total yards and rushing has been the key by buffalo turnovers costly to miami time of possession no material difference and as we've so often said that's a deceptive statistic anyway 63 of those rushing yards came in about five and a half seconds by joe cribbs in the first play we hadn't even warmed up the chair yet that's correct 39-yard line second down and two cribs and cribs trying the right side for the first down i believe he'll be short and it'll be third down and about a yard tell you this if buffalo can register another score on this drive miami is in deep deep trouble because buffalo's defenses are very tough to play catch-up football against buffalo has the best rated defense in the national football league this year they've only allowed 42 completions against them that is far and away the best in the league tim vogler number 65 works on the right side as a tight end pipe they'll set in their run formation get the ball to leaks and leaks hammers out the yardage for the first down inside the 37-yard line and when we speak of their defenses we have to also speak of bill orange parker and a guy named tom catlin that does the work for chuck knox up in buffalo he's been one of the best around for years he was with knox out with the rams and the man like orange parker has just been geniuses at doing what they do and that is moving people in and out the new type of defensive football the specialties miami they look like they do it with mirrors they'll have a different combination in there almost in every situation first and ten 37-yard line cribs a little opening but it closes quickly as it gets inside the 35 to the 34 gain of three second down seven you know they've taken this drive they're going against the wind they're doing about anything they want they've thrown the ball short they've run the ball inside outside as you look at bill arnsberger there and he's trying to find some way to stop this fell offense and really what he's got to do is stop the run because this pass has not been the weapon it's a rare look we see a lot we watched the offensive plays being called but that was the defensive signals being called by armsparter second down and eight here comes a full blitz ferguson asked to go quickly to graemer and bramer had not made the cut incomplete they brought everyone that time and when you're getting beat defensively frank you know you got to do something different and harshberger did he went in had a safety blitz uh do something to get your defense going get the adrenaline going and that's what he did then and they put pressure on ferguson ferguson's not unlike any other quarterback and he put pressure on them they throw aaron ball third down long seven the ball just inside the 35 yard line miami adds fulton walker maslowski to their defensive secondary six men back there they bring dewey on the blitz ferguson fires the ball completes it's picone but he's short of the first down at the 30-yard line i just don't understand calls off plays like that again short of the first down well he only needed seven yards and he ran about a four yard pattern outside receiver you got to run deeper than that great coverage by gerald small to prevent the first down and for herrera is going to be something like a 47-yard effort 48-yard effort he made one of 49 earlier this year he may make it but when you play this way you're playing not to lose and that way your rally wins kicking into a breeze it's tall enough but it hits the crossbar and bounces back into the end zone no good and the line of scrimmage for the thousands will be the 30-yard line herrera added up enough hooked it just a little bit to the left and as fran mentioned into the breeze that will emphasize any kind of hook you might have going 10 to nothing the bill's lead herrera misses from a 48-yard attempt the miami dolphins down 10 to nothing have a first and 10 their own 30-yard line dolphins again up against top defense in the buffalo bills first in the nfl after seven games a gift when you have a chance to put a team away like the dolphins you put them away if you don't it will come back to haunt you ten points is not a big lead they can make the scoreboard look like a pinball machine and get things happening cephalo in motion refers dariel harris harris picked up a good block on the outside david woodley to franklin and it came back to duriel harris he has the first down at the 42. did you watch the hand of the pitch from willard to franklin to darielle harris and really the what are the bills blocked by kuchenberg he just sets up right there right there that was newman newman hit him freeman runs him out rowan runs him out but the bells weren't fooled on the play it was just a well executed reverse play by the dolphins there's old darielle harris they'll throw you a trick once in a while the dolphins let's keep you honest the first down is it the dolphins 43 yard line franklin over the 45 for a gain of about five to the 47 yard line every time you watch andre franklin you see a vastly improving football player howard mentioned didn't have those big numbers out of nebraska but he was blocking for thousand-yard rushers such as rick byrne i am hip jarvis redwine he just basically is learning how to run and he is now hit [Applause] second down five [Applause] franklin again franklin just carrying tacklers short of the first down by about a yard it'll be third down and one inside the 49-yard line of buffalo that's reggie mckenzie number 67 roommate oj simpson taught and trained the juice he'll tell you all about he is a great man quite a leader in that football team he's more than just a guy that blocks people got a great big heart and he's a tremendous leader for that group third down and one [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] oh big hole opens up over the left side dwight stevenson and bob kutzenberg occupy that area the offensive line for miami first down inside the 41. all right watch the miami offensive line work here watch kuchenberg coming around and trapping the middle linebacker there he is he puts him right down i think he had a little help by pulling him down and there goes franklin for the easy first downs we watch kuchenberg work there remember what bob lilly the great all-pro tackle hall of faire from dallas to kuchenberg's the finest offensive lineman i've ever played again he's something started his whole career now 13 years long as a free agent lovely cross block going deep and did he get it yes he did cephalo tremendous efforts comes down with the football simpson was down there with him there's a great catch it's a play not to lose almost invariably you lose and that's what's happened on this drive in the wake of buffalo's conservatives all right watch this how do cephalo interfere or not let's watch did he push him with his left hand might have i thought he had a little push with the left hand to get himself into position great play not a criticism of cephalo very good play the only way he could have caught the ball was to give that shove i know gift never did that when he was playing receiver but cephalon might have just given him a little shove to get in position to catch the ball well although not he was one of your great catches he had to turn completely around look back into the lights and he gets the first down goal to go just outside the 1-yard line this game turned on the conservatism of buffalo franklin and nathan the setbacks nathan hurt us into the end zone and miami's on the scoreboard 6 48 remaining in the first quarter the dolphins and their head coach they never know they're ever out of it tony nathan over the left side just going up high behind gucci [Applause] took the biggest field goal of his life gets the jet three seconds left on the clock thanks no contact made the bills move back gets it down snapped by kutzenberg execution perfect and we have a 10-7 ball game to build over the dolphins 6 48 remaining in the first half such an important game for both ball clubs stay with us [Music] we just stole this new nissan [Music] you central this car we stole it for only 49.49 ultra mileage front wheel drive plenty of power five

sugar bowl new year's night on abc buffalo would like to see mike mosley a first year man out of texas a m handle the kickoff of uber von shaman he leads the nfl and returns really kept them in the tampa bay game a week ago until they lost it inside the last minute and bon shaman tries to kick it away from mike mosey he looks it out of bounds and now von schumann will have to kick from the 30-yard line both kickers give kicking with the wind at their back have hooked three kickballs to the left now when you're a sidewinder kick kicker it is kind of difficult to direct that football and get any distance out of it you're going to get a little bit of a hook a little bit about mike mosley he was a third round pick a year ago out of texas a m as a wishbone quarterback with 4-3 speed pulled a hamstring and training camp was on the injured reserve all last year and has been a fine performer for buffalo this season bon shaman talked it over with his coverage unit there's mosley back there with him is robert holt if as we await the kick i'll be interested to watch the strategy of buffalo when they get the ball miami's going to be fired up defensive which means it'll be very tough for buffalo to run the ball i think it's going to go right back on ferguson's shoulders and he's going to have to deliver in a very tense situation and that means he'll be going against the number one ranked past defensive team in the nfl after seven games the dolphins bonchama hooks it again and this is mike mosley as hope stepped up those they tried to get it outside good coverage they take him inside the 20th flag comes down late and we could have had a late hit i think it was a spear somebody speared him in the ribs with a helmet it looks like and that'll be 15. that makes it a good return yeah it's up to the attention to the 35 or 34. that's a lot better for the offense the bell's leading 10 to 7 6 29 remaining in the first half take a look at that spear or late hit or i think it's going to come about right now there it is [Applause] and heavy and hard 34-yard line for the bill first down and ten [Applause] left side not much happening there behind ken jones with mckenzie give him a yard it'll be second down to nine well you see exactly what fran said earlier now they're closing down on the run the momentum has changed because of the way buffalo failed to capitalize on its last defensive drive and it's going to be up to ferguson and i'm not sure that joe is up to it the way he's been playing he's going to have to throw here no question about it howard lewis cut to the right butler the speed for top of your screen miami showing blitz cornerbacks creeping up now they drop out ferguson tried to get it to braimer incomplete it'll be third down to nine and we're going to pause five seconds and allow our stations along the line identify themselves wjla tv serving the district maryland and virginia back of the orange bow frank gifford howard cosell fran tarkenton buffalo bills over the dolphins 10-7 the bill's broke on top 63-yard touchdown run joe cribbs on the very first offensive play they added three more points off the toe of a friend herrera and the dolphins have come back to bring it to within three points to 5 43 remaining in the first half third down and nine for the bills they're at their own 35 yard line dolphins again show blitz and this time they bring it ferguson tried to get to pecan piccon was all tied up with don mcneill no flags it'll be fourth down as we said friend well it's interesting the dolphins were very candid about it they said if we can put pressure on joe ferguson we'll shake him up and he won't hit receivers right there he just threw two very errant balls didn't even come close to the receivers and omo has shifted over to the dolphins tommy vigorito dangerous return man at a 59-yard touchdown run against the jets and the dolphins victory over the jets early in the year craig cater he kicks it high never kicks it far but you don't get many run backs vigoritos covers his own bobble inside the 30-yard line first down at 10 miami fairly good field position 5 27 remaining in the half and david whitley brings the dolphins back out onto the field 34-yard punt not too impressive but again no run back we'll be right back if you've got what it takes and really care there's a special kind of life you'll

been through it they're thinking about you it's 74 degrees of kickoff here in miami throw another log in the fireplace put your toes up and enjoy first down and 10. miami failing 10 to 7. 527 remaining in the first half first and ten or ball near the 30-yard line he was in the grass that is not a fumble ben williams was there last year's leader in sacks over the left side big ben 6'3 245 pounder gentlemen from ole miss good rush there tell you when you sack woodley back there you've you've done your job because he is very agile moving around reminds me of another 10 i used to watch up there with the vikings yes i remember it well you guys you guys got long memories remember that far back as gifford said he's young enough to be a dentist so he's long in the two all right second down seventeen lost [Applause] collides there with steve freeman going to the first down by considerable yardage it'll be third down and about seven what a pretty triumph where's this little guy i like that call by schuler that's a tough thing down your own 20-yard line second and 17. young quarterback as woodley is on in his third year rana's sweep got a lot of yards but we have a penalty i got the flag down and they're talking it over all right cooch get in there and tell him about her listen bob kuchenberg given the options by vic jorgensen our official so it must be something he'll have to think over it would have been a third down in about [Applause] seven [Music] encroachment by ben williams he'll move it up to the 33-yard line but he's got himself in position to throw a you know seven to nine yard pass doesn't take a lot of protection for that can get a quick rhythm thing off uh it's makeable at third and seven third and 17 is a little more difficult maybe he'll find a way to do what ferguson has done at least twice tonight throw less than the first down yardage required joe rose the receiving tight end for the dolphins is in their number 80. [Applause] no flags tommy vigorito trying to get through the football to the football through rod push that's all again uncatchable if he had gotten away with that it would have been america he was the one creating the interference i mean he throws it into a crowd here bad robot will they watch him big rail goes right into the cush cushion position that was offensive pass center pass and affairs it's ridiculous mike mosley there he is oh i'd rather robert holt's in there now or us the punter for miami on fourth down rs gets one to turn over and here comes and hope works his way out close to the 30-yard line steve potter down there defensively before miami with 4 30 remaining the buffalo bills have the football back they have a three-nothing lead in a game that is so critical for them here's to meeting new faces in new places for that first day on the job this bud's for you there's no one else who does it quite the way you do so here's to you [Music] and this bug's for you [Music] yeah just for you that distinctively clean crisp taste that says budweiser for all you do [Music] this bud's for you [Music] the buffalo bills have a first down attend the ball just inside their own 30-yard line gift they've been running on first down every time they need to loosen it up a good play here would be a pass on first down let's see if they do it jerry butler speedy wide receiver top of your screen he's the deep man frank lewis is flipped to ferguson's right play action once butler and has to settle underneath to the tight end bramer framer close to a first down depending upon where they mark it and he's got it i think he is going to pick it up francis connected that well when you have the running game that they have and miami's got to respect it on first down they've got to play the run you don't get the pass rush you don't get the pass defense it's a very good call good going chuck knox in broad perspective they've got to re-establish some offensive momentum they gave it away and led to miami's only touchdown 3 45 the puck is moving here in the first half stills on drop 10 to 7 first down and 10 inside handoff joe cripp and crips struggles for about three it'll be second down and seven as though market close to the 43-yard line they had to come back with another pass on first down fran at that point well it's good to run the ball in this league you need a running game but you win it with the pass that they've established they've established the running game miami got wise to it started to close it down on made adjustments but now tougher to throw in the situation that miami plays the pass and played well second down seven the bills near their own 43-yard line [Applause] again ferguson frank lewis butler near the 40-yard line he'll have the first down here's some player that's a move from clemson he is a great player watch butler against mcneil here he's going to fake him to the inside or he's just taking him straight outside and just leaves him beautiful cut neal beat by five yards again he has so much speed you'll have to lay off it there butler frank gilbert there are things you just don't understand we had buffalo against minnesota at ridge stadium right before the strike and minnesota totally dominated the first half and buffalo never threw the butler second half they kept throwing the butler and buffalo came from way behind and bail the game out first down 10. ferguson strong arms down in the general area frank lewis who had turned to the outside but ferguson under pressure just released it deep it'll be second down and 10. clock stop 203 buffalo in possession of their three timeouts you know joe has a good short passing game going he hit braemer who's good at finding a hole in the defense he hit butler short that time he tried to trot a long ball nothing was there and he threw it out which was a wise decision [Applause] eight of 12 76 yards now for ferguson capable very capable having explosive days but then he can have one of those dog days too second and ten blitz picked up roosevelt leaks flag is down and frank lewis is complaining downfield that he was interfered with well he got a flag out of it he got a flag but jeff is going to be on frank lewis well he did the right thing he complained let's like figure it out on the earlier play we watched negate about an eight-yard pickup by roosevelt leaks a lot of these men are stunning acting instead of playing innocence number 82 offense still second down take a look at it he's working in against don mcneill here he goes let's see what goes on here well he did kind of just shove him didn't he he kind of put his hands out and shoved mcneal down there's a stanislavski movement by mcneil speaking of accuracy one of the finest two minute warning and it'll be second down and 20 for buffalo at midfield when we return [Music] nfl classics presented by shearson american express here's the poem written in pictures it's called o.j

the night past interference called against frank lewis the offensive receiver for buffalo is back to football up to midfield his second down and 20. what he wants here gif he wants a 10 yard completion try to get this in two bites not in one mark mosley flipped to the right joins the four of receivers for ferguson out of the shotgun picked up flag is down could have holding as butler comes down with the football for the ten that fran spoke of a moment ago it is holding yep that's too bad for buffalo because they executed the play perfectly butler just beat his man got open made a great catch ferguson delivered but the holden penalty nullifies it all they're working their way back to their own end zone second consecutive 10-yarder now you say coach sending the third and second and 30. illegal use of the hands number 73 offense still second down horshart the fine right guard watch him on the right part of your screen there 73. he's blocking on 75 that's a yep he pushed him back working on doug better 75 all right now second and 30. sending a play coach i don't know what to call your theory is the same though get a piece of it get 15 maybe this time 6 defensive backs in for the dolphins [Applause] and pick off holton walker got the deflection also going up for it blackwood i think deflect is into the air and folding walker gets his third interception of the year for the dolphins they have 141 on the clock and they have three timeouts and joe is angry but as you saw he just kind of threw it up he just sure threw it into a lot of traps he throws it down the middle kind of wobbles and throws it up for grabs and there's the free safety in there gets tipped around by frank lewis and fulton walker intercepts and the dolphins have a chance they'll have the football at their own 33-yard line they trail by three the bill's on top 10-7 the dolphins in possession i want one introducing the sporty new nissan pulsar nx a whole new look in hemi head road muscle i want one five-speed stick hitch to front wheel drive power rack and pinion steering all standard i really want one the nissan pulsar nx cost half as much as it looks if your boss said you could pick any new typewriter what would you choose ibm ibm ibm every year there are more and more typewriters to choose from but which one is still preferred most ibm if you could have anything you want right on your desk what would you choose a race [Music] golden marker a sixth round draft pick of a year ago out of west virginia does a lot of things for miami in there in their past prevent defense returns kicks made a couple of starts as a rookie a year ago they're doing a lot of things at morgantown these days you'll find out about west virginia in negatable first down at 10 miami their own 33-yard line again they have three timeouts 140 on the clock woodley nathan looks around before he had possession incomplete that one you cannot blame mr woodley for well the thing that i liked about it all kind of quarterbacks can throw the football but a quarterback in reading coverage wants to find the receiver that's got single coverage on him you cannot double everybody he found that receiver he delivered the ball to nathan who had beaten isaiah robertson but he dropped it it'll be second down and 10. clock stops 135 plenty of time for miami to add at least three to tie this game up [Applause] green this is nathan and nathan is dragged down from behind went right back to him bill simpson pulled him down hurry up office now by the dolphins to preserve their timeouts they get the first down and now woodley has second thoughts as the seconds were ticking off to 117. he calls time out and miami has a first down at 10. their own 44-yard line 117 remaining in the first half and they're down by three we'll be back after this from the national football it's only a dream at first but to a special few who make it to the pro football hall of fame it's the ultimate honor it was the most exciting moment of my life for sam huff it started here in the small coal mining town of farmington west virginia the only way out to escape the life his father knew in the coal mines was to play football and play it he did drafted for the new york giants in 1956 he became known as the man in the middle number 17. he was one of the greatest little linebackers the game has ever known sam

timeouts remain [Applause] just a little lazy tucking that away ben williams there he is big play by williams general ben has been right in there gif he got a sack while ago he gets a big recovery here of the fumble here we go there's cephalo running a little short pattern he's open gets the ball did you tuck it away oop not quite gets it knocked out and watch big ben come in charles rome stripping it out williams covering the ball we have 109 remaining in the half these may not be the worst of times but they are certainly not the best of times oh joe's got another shot here buffalo at the 45-yard line of the dolphins [Applause] lewis and pecone stood up to the top of your screen out to the right is butler [Applause] ferguson lifts it away quickly and it's complete it goes to the cone he gets fourth the most out of it it'll be second down and six and ferguson calls timeout with 101 remaining bills now down to two timeouts earlier we gave you the afc standings next week we have dallas minnesota let's look at the nfc standings those six teams have clinched to play off birth minnesota despite its loss yesterday based on its conference record clint a play-off first now let's go to a 17 group that is still eligible there are the first four tampa bay which appears pretty well off chicago detroit new islands now let's flip and we have the giants the eagles who played superbly yesterday and the niners still alive in the wake of their victory over kansas city one team has been eliminated the once fearsome rant the authors by the way of the baby balls frank if you remember them deacon dantel tank younger and a fellow named horner those were the original baby bulls no the rams can save some part of their season they close out their game sunday against the 49ers in san francisco second down and six [Applause] ferguson uh ferguson he tries to get out and he is picked up dropped there by beaucamper getting help from bob baumauer some play gift by boat camper ferguson did the right thing stepped up in the pocket trying to get away to get more time to throw the boat camper with a big paw jerk team pounds i'll tell you that's one of the best moves schuler's made in recent years converting kim bulkamper in effect to a down lineman came up from san jose state schuler labeled him the best athlete i've ever had come to my camp he was a linebacker then but now transferred to down lineman with dewey in the linebacker group it's all working out long third down ferguson robert holt i hope that's back to the 40-yard line and this should be out of range of herrera all right of course again i find that playing not to lose you're still in the first same kind of conservative philosophy that has stripped this theme of its initial offensive drive ferguson calls timeout look to the bench chuck knox trying to ascertain what he must do on fourth down and about five ball at the 40-yard line it would be about a probably a 57-yard effort by herrera there's a team that may be back if yesterday was any evidence let's go to three rivers stadium in pittsburgh pennsylvania new england without the snowplow against the steelers 23-7 steals fourth quarter kavanaugh back to throw pats trying to fight back stanley morgan touchdown that made it 23-14 but only two plays later terry bradshaw back as we know him may be the most productive quarterback of our time back to pass looking for the former bella bear his name greg hawthorne his number 27. his catch executed and the play good for 46 yards for the td and so the steelers went on to crush the pass 37-14 their record five and three all right fourth down and five and obviously ferguson is going to put it in the air they'll look for a defensive foul three seconds remaining in the half of course a half or a game cannot end on a defensive foul and that's what the bill for try and draw time has expired so the bills go into the locker room as a three-point lead over the miami dolphins and we'll be

next possession a minute 20 remaining scott bruno again to his favorite target john misslin and suddenly the giants were ahead 21-17 victory seemed to be in the bag that miss laquette setting up the giants second touchdown but now st louis striking back neil lomax as the giants played a prevent defense which prevented nothing throwing downfield 39 willard harrell all the way down to the six yard line giants claimed fumble whistled had been alone and the officials claimed otherwise so lomax had another shot and he finds number 81 roy green right there game-winning touchdown and so the cardinals are in the playoffs 24-21 over the giants and the giants hopes are now reduced to a virtual whisper in 1983 abc sports will continue to meet the challenge of excellence with the most

buffalo will have to sweat it out with new england at new england next sunday for miami a win tonight a win next sunday at baltimore they have home field advantage throughout the playoffs you've got

davis and blanchard running wild pickup gift miami hits it von shaman drives robert holt deep in the end zone he'll remain there very advisably so so it'll be first down to 10 buffalo at their own 20 yard line halftime stats for you well as you can see in total yardage buffalo almost doubled turnovers miami giving buffalo the age time of possession buffalo with a big edge but the score 10 to 7. why really in a game can you pick a critical moment where a team so obviously played not to lose and therefore turn the game around in the opponent's favor as in this game buffalo scored first they got a 63-yard touchdown run out of joe cribbs they added a 33-yard field goal by herrera tony nathan got a one-yard touchdown run after a sensational catch by cephalo from david woodley so it's 10-7 first-hand buffalo at their own 20-yard line leaks and leaks is taken and dragged down by bob baumauer farmer an unusual size for a middle nose guard fran he's 6'5 260 but he is very athletic he really is most of them are kind of short and squatty but bob howard just said is a big tall guy and still handles the position very well he amazed frank and mae fran at the monday night football superstar didn't he great swimmer surprisingly good runner not even a bad golfer he did a lot of things frank and pro bowler two out of the last three years second down and 10. joe cribbs following leaks kids cuts back works against the grain and miami's pursuit is there a gain of a couple it'll be third down and eight ernie roane fine defensive linebacker made the stop gift when the game started off buffalo was running it will and now miami has shut off the run as up the middle of the second quarter they're going to have to go to the pass and they're not quite willing to do it yet third and long is a very tough passing situation against the top pass defense in football you'd come back with the same stuff against dawnsparger in the second half you get killed three-man front now a format as aj dewey drops in third down seven and incomplete in and out of the hands of framer he would not have had the first down in any event now that's the fourth time this game he didn't throw for even attempted first down yardage how can you win that one well he threw the ball really behind him the guy that had the one-on-one coverage in that situation was joe cribbs again the job of the quarterback is find the guy with the single coverage he had it with cribs and a linebacker that would have been a first down for miami an opportunity for good field position vigorito right there standing at his own 39-yard line greg caters we mentioned before not a deep hunter he'll kick it high it'll be tough to return for vigorito [Applause] later this time had to hurry he hung it high all right and short vigorito call for the fair catch but the flag is down back at the 18-yard line vigorito pulled him in at the 46. holding and i'm not sure that miami will want buffalo to kick it again except they do know as all these teams know so much about each other that cater is not a long kicker that'll back them up and i'm sure they'll take the penalty it looks like they will get and also he kicks the ball very high there's a good breeze against him the win really affects his kicks miami is going to get the ball after this punt if they receive it cleanly inside the 50-yard line look at that graphic it's going to be difficult for the bills not to shatter their season mark they've tied their high number of penalties for the season here's the call 52 offense still fourth down holding and they have it backed up now to where cater will begin his stride into the ball from the end zone and digorito meanwhile has moved up to midfield capacity and of course the partisan crowd here at the orange bowl over 75 000. [Applause] [Music] there was no pressure and cater dropped the ball was able to get it off and it takes a bit of a bill bounce a lucky break that there was no containment man and i can't believe that on a don schuler team exactly right gift there should have been somebody containing here and going after this situation just like we see with dropping the ball they should have tackled him right there then they don't feel the ball clearly what two major errors in the event the miami dolphins trailing by three have the football their own 49-yard line first and ten [Music] the best never comes easy that's why there's nothing else like it but what you're right [Music] the best you found it in yourself and now you've found it in the beer you trained [Music] west virginia tackles florida state in the gator bowl thursday night on abc frank gifford with howard cassell fran tarkinton from the orange bowl in miami 1306 remaining in the third quarter miami trailing by three 10-7 to buffalo has a first and ten at their own 49-yard line woodley remains at quarterback hands off to franklin and franklin powerhouses his way for six to the 45-yard line it'll be second down and four now give here schuler's got a young quarterback third year david woodley he really has to work on the running game he's got to get franklin and nathan going the offensive line working he cannot win with the pass and he knows that and that's what he went through the run wide receivers matt moore in the game split to the left off to the right top of your screen duriel harris second down four party in motion nathan and he just hurdles inside the 40-yard line for a miami first down a healthy nathan is about as big an asset as the dolphins in view of that quarterback flight can ask for he has the first rate running back and he's got great versatility excellent coming out of the backfield you'll remember the extraordinary play with the lateral from harris to nathan that produced that touchdown for miami in the classic playoff game against san diego last year first down 10. miami 40-yard line a buffalo franklin deep penetration didn't get the lateral back to woodley because deep downfield was duriel harris it's about time for them to go back to woodley as a receiver getting the ball out of the shotgun handing off to tony letting him find woodland or they could use woodley here some kind of a roll out of bootleg there's a loss of almost two we'll call it second down and 12. go over to center [Music] [Applause] whitley very cool effort by woodley matt moore was in a crowd and woodley hit him right in the numbers well if that more is the story fran i don't know who is he's been complaining all year long at his virtual non-use he's been a great player for nine years for this miami team out of the university of florida one of the better pass receivers in the league now he gets a shot and look at it credit whitney too whitley saw rome's as you saw fall down he was in a tremendous rush of the buffalo bills fired the ball and right on target 18-yard line first down miami has never had the lead they are threatening now here in the third quarter franklin single setback play action by whitley looking for harris in the corner no flag as rome's got tied up with duriel harris and they both crawled here's the nice though you look at it yourself dario harris faking to the inside running back to the corner there's rooms and that's the penalty either on the offensive defense i think his defense will pass that affair i do too however in the wake of the controversy provoked in the tampa bay detroit game i'm certain that the officials are being very cautious on calls either way at this point second down 10. nathan single set back williams pressuring and that one almost picked off good position with steve freeman the intended receiver the big tight end bruce hardy hello woodley had a had a great pass completion tomorrow but that is one that old david shouldn't have thrown they're crossing here bruce hardy's going out but sneaking on the inside with great position with steve freeman he had the interception just dropped the ball third down and ten vigorito comes in they fancy him as being a better receiver out of the backfield than nathan by the way each team noticeably does not have an exceptional tight end both weak at that position third down and 10 18-yard line of the bills from the shotgun whitney niggarino was wide open and just off his fingertips he stands only 5-10 and he just could not get up for it and we'll see von shaman i know that's frustrating to the dolphins and the schuler watch vigorito here let's jury o'hares clear out then he comes and nobody's there they had a blown coverage obviously woodley saw him but didn't get the ball to him and they have to settle for an attempted field goal david was under some pressure there but a professional quarterback you expect that ball easily [Applause] 26 look at a 36-yard attempt struck whom we'll probably see later the quarterback is the holder kuchenberg will put it in play we've got a tied football game with 10 35 remaining in the third quarter we're tied at 10 and we'll be returning from the orange bowl right after this message i'm finished change when ibm has office systems that can revise large documents i revise the contracts the meeting they're fine and they're on their way and even send them across the country completely collated now that's a lot easier isn't it take off with the most exhilarating new car of the year the dotson turbo zx now available with five speeds in two or four seaters the five-speed turbo zx this year shift into something [Music] awesome once again the miami dolphins with a victory tonight a win over winless baltimore next sunday and they will ensure home team advantage throughout the playoffs for the buffalo bills a win tonight they move into the playoffs a loss tonight they'll put pittsburgh in the playoffs and they will have to sweat it out as i mentioned before at new england next sunday that's what's on the line and if this win is really picking up and sean would ought to be able to kick this out of the end zone they put a hefty foot into it mosley will bring it up and he does not get through the gap out to the 23-yard line it'll be first down in 10. i'll remind you once again because it's going to be a beauty live at 8 o'clock eastern time new year's night georgia is going to get it on with penn state herschel walker of course knews everything you've heard about or read about he'll be there and joe paterno one of the great college football coaches looking for his first national championship the sugar bowl 8 o'clock eastern time new year's night right here on abc joe paterno not just one of the great college football coaches one of the greatest goats first and 10 23-yard line buffalo they are tied now at 10. on a first down point for butler and overthrown a pass that perhaps led to the middle could have produced a big gainer yep if he had the ball down about five feet he would have had a big completion of butler in the past five seconds and allow our stations to identify themselves wjla tv serving the district maryland and virginia orange ball in miami where the buffalo bills have not won since 1966. it's a lot of years it jinx if you will but keep in mind they get together every year down here [Applause] joe ferguson brings the bills up looking over a second down and 10. booker moore now set back for the bills number 34 ferguson lewis lewis looking for first down yardage coming very close a little bit short i do believe i hope you had a good holiday and most of our production people been traveling around the country getting ready for different events and we want to wish a speedy recovery to deborah chappie she's the sister of one of our young production people joan chappie she's been hospitalized we understand doing better up in greenwich connecticut so our best wishes from all of us go to debra champion close enough for a measurement they'll bring it out frank lewis 35 years old down in the back a little bit over the past few weeks what a year he had a year ago look at the measurement inches short his best year in 12 seasons a year ago let's see who is there looking at the measurement good old ratchet reggie's out there doing a little coaching on the field he's letting chuck knox know it's about a foot to go chuck and send in whatever you want to do he sends in curtis brown takes out joe cripp third down inches we'll have curtis brown and booker moore booker moore a first round draft pick of a year ago quite a story recovering from ian beret syndrome nervous disorder very serious thing and a first round pick of a year ago out of penn state didn't play at all last year has only carried the ball 14 times this year but jose is back and healthy we're glad to see it third down you saw how much just tension cookermore he'll get the first down and the bill stay alive on this drive with 107 remaining in the third quarter [Applause] buffalo they beat kansas city and minnesota before the strike when they came back they lost to miami green bay and the tampa bay you might have seen that game a week ago they lost 24-23 they also beat baltimore in pittsburgh that was a tough loss to tampa bay frank they had him on the hip easy field goal position accountably roosevelt leaks fumbled first down and 10 34-yard line the bills [Applause] quick movement by bob baumauer he's not even complaining he was drawn off trying to beat that count so it'll be first down in five as they walk it off well the bills for the entire year their highest point production has been only 23 points they're free once again tonight dick jorgensen encroachment number 73 defense still first off at the same time fran going into tonight's game they had only allowed the opposition 97 total points obviously they've been winning with defense office 39 yard line first and five two tight ends and now that's cool barnett joins mark framer butler stood up to the top of your screen cribs he's hit at the line of scrimmage and squeezes out a yard maybe a yard and a half it'll be second down and three kim bocamper defensively there for miami remember the way they were busting through in the middle at the start of the game second and three really closed down campers moved to end by bill artsbacher the defensive assistant head coach at the dolphins was precipitated really by the acquisition of bob brzezinski last week but brzezinski you just got to have him in there he is terrific against the run number 59. second down three booker moore nicole runs into gordon harry gordon giff as you talked about brzezinski there are three ex los angeles rams starting defensively tonight in this game that's right isaiah robertson simpson simpson and robinson of course both played for chuck knox when he was so successful as a head coach of the los angeles rams winning five western divisions of the nfc before coming to buffalo in 78. loss of a yard is third down and four [Applause] it was hit after the ball and complaining reciprocally is pacone wow blackwood really wrapped up paco got his head taken off and gif i think that the replay would show us that he got hit early did you see chuck saying now here we go a shotgun ferguson's back he gets a little pressure up the middle late but he had plenty of time there goes up early no flag fourth down great cater to fun tommy vigorito at the 20-yard line for miami strictly a judgmental call on that because it was really close vickirito can break one for you any time slippery elusive kid [Applause] hater doesn't turn over once again vigorito has to rush forward collect the ball at the 31-yard line and miami will have good field position not a good kick again by crater 29 yards miami good field position we'll be right back you can't argue with success nissan motor corporations 9.9 annual percentage rate truck financing is saving buyers money and now we're extending 9.9 so you can still save from 900 to over 1500 in finance charges alone on any new ducks and trucks to join the crowd while we still have trucks and you still have time driven [Music] some things speak for themselves friday the go goes and barry manilow celebrate dick clark's new year's rockin eve [Applause] just about midway in the third quarter we're tied at ten the buffalo bills are the miami dolphins and the dolphins have possession first and ten the ball of their own 31-yard line and gift if the dolphins gonna make their move they better do it now they got a pretty good gale win behind them now and as a quarterback you want that win behind you not in your face then he'll have it in his face in the fourth quarter the dolphins stay with woodley setbacks are nathan 22 franklin 37. woodley close it low and behind franklin incomplete it'll be second down and 10. well david will learn to throw that pass later in his career i'm sure he's got a strong arm but that kind of pass you wouldn't want to feather it out just kind of hand it to that full back and let him run he throwed it low and inside fran if there's one coach in football because i wouldn't dare second guess it's don schuler delta but you have to wonder what is he going to put that guy he went to second guessing until right now this is the first time no second down and ten he's a patient coach matt moore came in ronnie lee he's the big blocking tied in they give it to nathan nathan over the 35 through the 37 it'll be third down and four from that position you know i know it's frustrating for sheila he knows what he's working with woodley's not working out as well as he hoped he would this year he's got struck coming off the bench but as a starter strzok hasn't done it either he's trying to piece together the best of both of them and get one hole what do they call it down here woodstruck that's right not only that he has to shuffle three tight ends because he doesn't have to have the one great one yeah but oh well though he shuffled hardy lee and rose a year ago to 52 receptions go watch it from the end zone on the third down four with the offensive unit of the dolphins on the field [Applause] open man and underthrown ceplo was behind the defender and the ball underthrown it really was jeff it's just a unfortunate the patterns are getting open there's mario clark who broke it up on the underthrow ball but the patterns are open here he is zeppelo's going down the field mario he's got him beat mario clark's got to be really lucky that woodley under through it because he under threw it badly game time to come get a hand in and knock it down now they've got a punt tom morrison and robert holt has dropped for buffalo long count trying to draw the offsides on fourth down and four orange just holds it as he gets no pressure then he bangs the beauty the ball at the three-yard line and covered down there [Music] by hester i believe it is they're going to call it a they do not advance that ball and they're going to mark it i believe at the 2 yard line on the 62-yard punt you're right it's the muff rule but i don't believe the man playing the punch well here again the win was a factor it just carried the ball from about the 15-yard line and he should have never have attempted to catch the ball but he did he must it miami has them all in the two-yard line and awfully good position to go in and take the lead tied at 10 but 6 55 remaining in the third quarter and oroz very heads up knew that we're not rushing him at all he held the ball for a couple of counts got his men deep downfield and what was good gift the lineman who cannot go until the ball is kicked they stayed and did not move great discipline yes very good discipline they had looked at that in the films had seen it they were well drilled and coached the schuler team always are and they made the play first down goal to go meantime buffalo committed an era that was incalculable nathan and franklin and woodley rolls right has to throw it away looking into the corner of the end zone for joe rose i think he's kidding first down well i know you don't like the second guest on shooting now we're just kind of basically just kidding that was good defense because you know with woodley if you can't throw it you should be able to run it yeah but gif with that offensive line he's got which he says is as good of the offensive line he had in the 70s with the two running backs he's got the running game is a strong part of his game you got to go with your strength and you got to run it right at him i bet he'll come back and run this one second down goal to go [Applause] franklin end zone only the fourth rushing touchdown against the buffalo bills this season [Applause] but it was set up by great coverage and a very heads-up play by the punter tom auras of miami and miami for the first time tonight has moved out on top but you could see it coming you could feel it coming as i've said before they had a 10 nothing lead they were driving and suddenly they were just seeking to kick a field goal didn't play for a first down buffalo i mean it turned the whole game they were playing early on not to lose von shaman for the conversion and the miami dolphins take a 17-10 lead 6 43 remaining in the third quarter andre franklin the second year man from nebraska and he has added a lot of punch to the miami running game we'll be back in television presents you make the call terry bradshaw passes the left tackle ray penny for an apparent touchdown now you make the call is it a touchdown hello i'm george flipped here's an easy question for you okay mr blimpton which of these home video games looks more like a real arcade game in television locking chase from mattel electronics see if people had this game at home my arcade could be in big trouble or atari pac-man blinky you were pale [Music] if you picked in television you're absolutely correct what call did you make any number in the 50s 60s or 70s is an illegal receiver unless he first reports to the referee who then informs the defense as long as ray penny did report in it is a touchdown this is the ultimate contest number one georgia number two penn state the game for the national championship the sugar bowl new year's night on abc [Applause] orangeville 75 000 plus and they are still on their feet applauding their dolphins [Music] will kick it off a dangerous return to man mike mosley is deep nfl's leader through seven games will try and keep it away from mosley [Music] and mosley takes it deep in the end zone looks upfield decides hey i'd better stay here cuts back and it'll be first and ten of the 20 yard line and buffalo trail for the first time tonight and joe ferguson's got a tough situation miami shut off his run they're all fired up he's got to throw into a pretty good win now his team is seven down he's not in an enviable position at all time remaining in the third quarter and fran has mentioned it several times the goal posts are fairly rocking with the win that is moving right into joe ferguson's face here in the third quarter but keep in mind he'll be working with that win in the fourth quarter go single setback for buffalo and over to the tight end is buster barnett he his progress up to about the 23-yard line three-yard pickup ernie roane collected barnett there drove him back it'll be second down and seven [Applause] ferguson has avoided the interception tonight except in one tip ball came into the night and after seven games only one quarterback jim plunken had thrown more interceptions in the previous game ferguson was 14. framer in motion [Music] [Applause] dangerous kickoff lyle blackwood ferguson tried to get it into the big tight end blackwood was reading it all the way and another turnover and miami has a first and ten of the 20-yard line of buffalo blackwood came as a free agent last year on the recommendation of his little brother glenn blackwood faking the pitch done bootlegging out he had plenty of time out here no really pressure late but he had plenty of time plenty of vision blackwood was sitting there he didn't see him obviously threw it right between the four and the two all right here's the defensive secondary they're zoning this side of the field blackwood's going to slip in reading the quarterback's eyes seeing the titan come across plays the ball well good defensive miami seven point lead first and ten twenty yard line of buffalo cephalo is right durial harris left franklin tries to get up the middle moves to the outside he'll get a yard maybe a yard and a half out of that it'll be second down and eight all right here buffalo's defense is hanging on for the life they got to keep their team in trying to keep the dolphins off the board here no easy matter as well blackwood he has been around had great years as a starter with baltimore and he went to seattle and expansion cincinnati that same year started actually at denver and he was playing along with his brother in the secondary here now with miami second and along a tony nathan and nathan inside the 15 sprawls to just about the eight yard line where it'll be third down and three you know gif you don't see many teams that run the old what they used to call the green bay power sweep with both guards out in front of a half back but miami can still do it they got two guards that could run kuchenberg and newman third down and three the dolphins charged up once again a victory tonight a victory next sunday and they will enjoy the home field advantage throughout the they do playoffs a way of winning and buffalo is not a come-from-behind team franklin and the big man just roars inside the five and he does get better every time you watch him he does that big offensive line in miami has taken over now they're blowing buffalo off the line of scrimmage watch the right side cave in the buffalo defense good blocking all along the right side blew him off the ball everybody bruce hardy 84. unbelievable franklin now 42 tough yards on 12 carries he needed 111 tonight to take over the nfl rushing lead from the jeff freeman mcneil right behind the right side eric glasgow bruce hardy ed newman the whole right side caved into the left side of the buffalo line here we go again first down goal to go ed newman the key great player franklin inside the five it'll be second down goal to go john chula really works a game he does doesn't it such a contrast between the total vicinity or at least it looks that way of tom landry and the emotional narrations have done and yet it's not like yeah coy yell he's in control of himself there's onsbarga the assistant coach the defensive genius and he is that it might be time for a rollout jeff give yourself a run pass option when you have a quarterback like woodley [Applause] and tried to get it into that more but he did and he comes down with it that more holds on good defensive play there against him really what charlie rose made a good play and that more caught it on the rebound here he goes in motion willie's going to roll out and hit him very quickly trying to get a quick hit out to him he under threw him a little bit rome's almost out of conception good catch rose and clark are excellent corners buffalo is very strong in those positions even though woodley under threw earlier as fran described it clark made the kind of recovery and a number one draft choice which he was some years back pick up from one however and it is still third down and goal to go and that's tough yardage against the bills you almost have to put it in the air play action that ball is deflected by sherman white attended for tony nathan it'll be fourth down and we'll see the field goal unit i'm sure we give sherman white credit he made a good play but he had his man wide open tony nathan he didn't he should just lost the ball no touch on the throw easy touchdown there and he just didn't get it up he'll learn that in years to come shula was she learning tonight you may be giving him more years than he's got he'll be around if he can learn that touch but it's something that has alluded him in his previous two years and seven games every now and then he has moments of brilliance from picking up david whitley but it's that little special touch that separates the good one from the great ones bon shaman [Applause] now charles rose is pointing at bruce hardy let's see what happened here if the penalties against the dolphins could be critical it is holding and that will back the dolphins up down shaman considerably not only that but knowing schuler he wants the three now desperately this makes it more difficult but the three won't make him happy he knows first down at the five his team should have gotten in there well he had an easy touchdown if david could just lifted the ball over sherman williams had easy throw holding number 84 offense one more try bruce hardy one more time but a lot further it'll be a 31-yard effort now by von shaman calm and 11 and 16 on the air hit a couple of key wins of 47 yarders last week to defeat the jets 2019. of course is a holder successful from 31 yards out and the dolphins make a 10 point lead with 146 remaining in the third quarter 20 to 10 over the bill we'll be right back [Music] i wasn't drafted till the seventh round [Music] they don't even know my name the best never comes easy that's why there's nothing else like it budweiser life [Music] you found it in yourself and now you found [Music] 146 remaining in the third quarter from the orange bowl in miami frank epperton howard cosell fram tarkington the buffalo bills digging themselves a little bit of a hole as far as the playoff picture is concerned it dolphins up 20 to 10. [Applause] hoover von sham kicking with a very stiff breeze have it in the end zone mike mosley and robert holder deep robert holt he'll bring it out flags are everywhere they are as hope negotiates his way to the 18-yard line why should tonight be different from any other night i heard an interesting theory on this why we see so many illegal blocks and that is because the players on the special teams many of them are linemen and under the new rule they are so used to using their hands but they can only do that on past [Applause] pockets number 51. on the receiving team first down you get it again from an offensive lineman using his hands now he can do that if he were past bachmann jim richer from his center position but you can't do it out here all right we're going to get a look at here they called for jim richard the center for north carolina state there he is could have called it clipping yep and he's talking down from the back the bills are backed up to their 12-yard line first and ten cribs looking miami defense that is really fired up now well that's the whole point to this game frank buffalo started quickly 10 to nothing now 20 unanswered miami points the keys bill on the miami defense closing down buffalo without the quarterback strength despite very fine wide receivers to find another avenue of attack [Applause] [Music] [Applause] great executions right there that was a major league play by ferguson yeah we've been waiting all night for that kind but lewis runs a beautiful sideline pass basic professional pass ferguson throws a strike against the wind down in his own end of the field that's a big league play by ferguson 50 seconds remaining in the third quarter they'll turn it around and then joe ferguson and the bills will have the wind at their back we're going to cover this from behind the bills give you a chance to look at the pass blocking and hopefully the secondary coverage that's friends not the block on the right side from beauchart and got about six yards out of it he'll be second down in four and gif if i were chuck knox and the buffalo bills i have to run it one more time then that will insure me on third down if i don't make it on second i'd have the wind in my back and a stiff wind it is it will certainly help joe ferguson because he's going to have to put it in the air brainer in motion [Applause] detected out of the way and maybe third down to four nine seconds remain on the clock in the third quarter time is out not which francis suggested is down the drain now the drain if he incompletes third down he's got to put the ball into the wind to give his miami field position one more time and now he really has to throw the ball to try to pick up the first down lou picone checks in three wide receivers now for the bills jerry butler cacone 89 frank lewis 82. they line it up tight now and they shift to their formation dolphins showing blitz he'll go down camper or brother bombauer great pressure doug betters was in there forcing ferguson out of the pocket and bob hour was there there it is the end of the third quarter score 20 to 10 miami over the buffalo bills and we'll return for the fourth quarter after this word from our local stations sunday matt houston fights for a heavyweight to prevent a death in the ring then my name's bob james takes over like nobody else the cards say we will be loveless jane seymour and roger moore live and let die rental discretion advised [Music] you want a 1983 toyota yeah well now's the time for you to make your best deal it's your annual toyota stellathon who wants to deal in the all-new front-wheel drive trucelle and the luxurious twin cam cressida toyota dealer nobody else immediate delivery in our big inventory hey you need financing we can help look for this fine and participating dealers they'll be open late don't wait see your toyota dealer now [Music] the federal government now permits all banks to pay competitive rates on money market accounts in spite of all the advertising claims the reason to have one is that they're federally insured and the place to have one is riggs after all who knows more about banking than rigs this week's rate fourteen percent up to one hundred thousand dollars drake gator will have an opportunity as we begin the fourth quarter to kick with a very stiff breeze he'll begin his stride in the end zone tommy vigorito respectfully plays the wind has moved back to about his own 43-yard line there he is and for the fourth quarter with the bills down 20 to 10 they at least will have the win with their offensive unit cater off the side of his foot takes a buffalo bounce and a big buffalo bounce quickly all the way down close to the 25 yard line so cater gets a whole lot out of something that was a lot less than what it looked like it was going to be 61 yards he nets out of that end over in job all right let's put this game in perspective in next week's do next week's game is important to dallas could be very important because what they seek is home field advantage should washington lose a dallas victory would give them that home field advantage for the playoffs the bikes clinched based on conference record despite their loss to the jets yesterday but the bikes are not a team under bud grant to pass up the opportunity of upsetting dallas this game critical miami wanting two victories to get home field advantage buffalo with a victory could clinch on the first down woodley rolls it out i don't know whether he just missed the handoff or his design play but he gets about seven yards out of it i think he might have missed the handoff to franklin he looked very good on that play he can run all right smart thing he followed the running back too that's right total yards buffalo still dominating time of possession virtually equal turnovers equal the difference i believe in this game philosophy of play i really do buffalo quickly ahead 10 to nothing going conservative giving miami the openings and on pogba's defensive shutdown second down three 32-yard line for miami franklin having a big night getting those kind of yards extra effort carrying him close to a first down in the arms of ben williams i think there's an addendum needed frank for the dolphins to have the home field advantage all the way through the raiders would have to lose next week to san diego that's right now that has said that that is not improbable absolutely not the one of the chargers averaging 45 points in the last three games yeah dan fouts is about as hot as you're ever going to see a quarterback that's true but he's not gonna see the 34 defense he's going to see a 4-3 he better be ready and that team better be right [Applause] bounces off ben williams gets a couple of yards out of it the raiders the raiders are a tough defense tower but i don't think anybody really bothers or scares dan fout i've never seen a quarterback play any better than he's played the last few weeks well i think that's fast in the fourth quarter dolphins 20 the bill's 10. alpha working on the ground second down and eight nathan gutzenberg is out front gets the block and nathan turns it upfield short of the first down by a couple it'll be third down and two jim defensively along with phil simpson in there to make the stop again this is the time of the game when you have a 10-point lead the cream really comes to the top because if you can run the ball in this situation you can win football games if you can't you lose them the miami has already had one first down rushing they're close to a second first down rush as you see nathan get tacked by isaiah roberts isaiah robertson and hasley and simpson and then we have a little extracurricular activity going on there they marked the ball inside the 43 so it's going to be a long two third down [Applause] whitney rolling out and he will not pick it up good defensive play great defensive play by the way from the cornerback mario clark who just pursued that and brought down woodley that's the guy i was talking about a first round draft choice nine long years ago consistently good player and there you saw him but you've got to look at tony nathan's block it looks like tony nathan made little or no effort to block him major error about nathan good play by mario clark oh has dropped on fourth down oris now kicking against the win i think a little too respectful he's all the way back to his 10-yard line i think you're right now he takes it to 15. dodges one dolphin and brings it back out over the 20-yard line up through the 23. so buffalo now here in the fourth quarter we'll be working with the wind and they are trailing the miami dolphins by 10. we'll be right back hi dean how's the white house the kids have to weather how about those yankees i just got the proposal i think the perfect way to proceed at this point 10 30 a.m would be for me to have my system duplicated collated translated telegraph reciprocated reiterated and expergated then anything with all do hate my systems should tabulate the word process that index and file it cross-reference the computerizer to make sure that every man woman and child in the united states gets a copy after that i think we should run with it move forward with make the big move with the hit the streets with it put everything we got into federal express now schedules delivery by 10 30 a.m with a march on the same street with make sure that we're open it's incredible what you can do with that much extra time german spanish italian norwegian finished swedish portuguese romanian hungarian twist german chinese [Music] you know the records show that race car driving is actually safer than driving on the streets the drivers here are professionals and you know what to expect still i wouldn't dream of turning a lap without building myself and now for the tricky part drive home first thing i do is buckle up if you don't belt yourself you're just kidding yourself this message is brought to you by nissan motor corporation and your datsun dealer [Applause] 11 minutes remain from the orange ball in miami regulation play the bills have the football first down 10 just out over the 23 yard line frank lewis top of your screen very butler's foot to the left bramer in motion joe cripps that's the play they broke for 63 yards and a touchdown in their first offensive play of the game and this time it picks up a quick eight yards they got eight yards but in all fairness uh to the running game at this point i would have three wide receivers in and be chunking it but they've got two wide receivers they're tight in mark bremer maybe they think they can run up and down the field on the dolphin defense but i don't think they can interesting cribs is not being used this season as he was a year ago as a receiver and he caught something like 50 passes last year there is pims getting the first down out close to the 35 but cribs came into tonight's game having only caught seven footballs and a year ago what did you have i think about 50 of them it was tremendous as the receiver last year particularly noteworthy in that playoff game where they beat the jets if you remember also had well over a thousand yards rushing but when you've got a cribs you get the ball to it you're right [Applause] first and ten [Applause] [Music] for it paul came out of the pile and it's still loose [Music] and the dolphins are going to come up with the football it was the little blackwood glenn blackwood the little brother it was brzezinski who jarred the ball loose on the blitz from ferguson he blindsided him well nobody fakes the cribs nobody touches brzezinski on the left side there he comes nothing ferguson can do now they kick it all over the lot you'll see uh number seven joe devlin has a chance to make a big recovery but he doesn't and there goes blackwood in cuts it into his stomach and the dolphins are in pretty good shape first down goal to go six yard line they have a 10 point lead 9 32 remaining in the game well with all the bees brodzinski and beaucamper and the two blackwoods and the other bees the bumhauer here in miami territory they've called them the killer bees great creativity three tight ends hardy lee and rose nathan and franklin the setbacks this is the big man franklin he is hammered right at the line of scrimmage again johnson is in on the four-man front for the bills big number 91 he was at the bottom of that pile [Applause] dolphins looking for a win tonight a win next week looking for a charger victory over the raiders next sunday and that would give miami home field advantage right through the playoffs if all points count but a touchdown is very important to miami here it would kind of put them out of range of the bill to give them over two touchdowns to catch up two touchdowns in the field goal they have to kick the field goal then only a 13-point lead the bill could get back in it [Applause] bills have only been able to negotiate one touchdown they did it on their very first offensive play that's touchdown miami big gaping hole left side kuchenberg and stevenson must have been doing their thing again andre franklin there you go they blew it open up the middle let's watch it dwight stevenson blocks to his left there it is there's a trap by kuchenberg oh my goodness he's not smearless right to the ground opened up a cavernous hole and kuchenberg's been doing that for a lot of years as well as anybody that's played this game call it now they used to call it a fold block you take the center cross him in front of kuchenberg and then he traps the man over the center and it was beautifully executed well the development of stevenson third year man from alabama a key to the development of that offensive line [Applause] conversion scott gets it down and the dolphins taking a 17 point lead with 8 58 remaining in the game we'll be right back [Music] so [Music] some things speak for themselves come on you guys hands up defense your broker some people just aren't easy to please especially when it comes to their investments at dean winter we can give even the hard the police investor something to smile about okay let's see that defense this is the ultimate contest number one georgia number two penn state the game for the national championship the sugar bowl new year's night on abc the goodyear blimp flipping around high overhead on a beautiful night for football here in miami and it really has been a gorgeous day and it's looking better than ever for the locals yeah the bills don't make us too pretty here tonight i don't think they haven't for about 17 years [Applause] he's the best in the league after seven games and mosley out over the 40-yard line good move he got right into the wedge he broke it to the outside and buffalo has good field position it was william judson defensively there for miami 31-yard return which is just about what mosley has been averaging through this young season but with 8 45 to play and the clock counting they're down 17 points we look at the lonely warrior reported to his clubhouse sat there on the stool when the strike began he was visibly and violently anti-strike but that i suppose his sister 43-yard line first down buffalo ferguson over the middle and it's complete with a tied in mark framer gain of about five is all second down and five gif if miami holds on the win that'd be four teams straight in this stadium against buffalo do you know the team that held the record the record is still 14 they tied the record that was denver playing against the old dallas texas and kansas city chiefs they lost 14 times in their home field now i betcha howard knew though i know howard that's why i didn't ask him second and five back to jack buck news this is booker maher and booker moore gets inside the 45 for a buffalo first down well in blackwood defensively for miami this is what you keep seeing in this league these days they're giving them what is the worst one lost record ever to qualify for nfl or nfl playoffs i'll let you in with that talk uh [Applause] [Music] ferguson lewis frank first down inside the 20-yard line 35 year old frank lewis trying to keep buffalo in it and if you wonder where this offense has been all night for buffalo you're not alone i do too that's because of what i said yep they're opening it up and they're giving them what they think is the short yardage i saw the giants lose that way yesterday when saint louis had less than a minute to play and the giants had just sacked the kid quarterback lomax twice in the previous series i saw the jets lose to miami that way last week i don't understand it first down 18-yard line of miami the bill's down by 17. trying to get back in it mosley in motion ferguson looking in the corner and for lewis and just off his fingertips that'll be second down 10. all right now howard please give us the answer to this question because gif and i know this you know i knew and i forgot i know you know what you know what rhett said to scarlet don't you no but tell me i know you are okay the houston oilers what was their record though well frankly frank i don't say it now howard would admit that to all of our fans out there in the world he got a cheat sheet on that somebody put it put it in front of his face here second down 10. [Applause] melissa butler both top of your screen and firing the shot into butler ferguson under great pressure nobody touched brzezinski and he ran right into ferguson's face nobody touched him the last time either when he caused the fumble short of the first down so it'll be third down and a long three [Applause] ball right at the 11 yard line i think it's now guaranteed that for the first time in the history in the nfl a team for the losing record will make the playoffs it's going to happen in nfc no matter what third down long three ferguson back across the field his problem is a first down he didn't get held short of it by about a yard doug betters wrestling ferguson to the ground and it'll be a little more than a yard to go for the first down and it will be fourth down did chuck call for a timeout he did he didn't they're going to take this thing over 6 11 to go well he could be thinking over time they are down by 17. perhaps needs a field goal somewhere along the line yep he's calling timeout but the bills that waited about 30 seconds before they called it on the field they did they let the seconds kick off 611 remaining in the game ferguson moves over to talk it over with chuck knox and we'll be back in the orange bowl in a moment when a business grows it often grows out of control simple procedures become gigantic problems things like billing filing and shipping become too big to handle the old way why not get one of ibm's low-cost small computers like data master it puts you back in control and it can grow here's to a great future as your business grows competing with the quiet company gets tougher every year last year they introduced a term policy with level premiums that builds cash value this year northwestern permanent policy owners can increase their dividends some up to 40 percent update 83 higher dividends that quietly improve our life insurance value another leadership innovation from northwestern mutual life the quiet company they're a tough act to follow but we'll get them next year we say that every year [Applause] fourth down one to go joe ferguson back in the lineup the buffalo bills trailing by 17 611 remaining in the game we'll go on fourth down just about a yard for the first yep stays in as the big setback for the bills if they keep it on the ground cribs out of the eye most effective of the [Music] i'm not rushes to do it not tonight [Applause] sergi miami defense reading it all the way brzezinski was out there glenn blackwood loud blackwood no chance at all for joe crimson look at our partner there's a loss of about four and you better believe that our partner read that during that time out he probably told him what was coming no matter how long you've been around gif there's a veteran coach of many years you still get excited when your defense does it like you told them to they do believe in him so much here yes they do he gets the printout the frequency he breaks it down he makes all the substitutions springing in the special units man is brilliant he really is i'll tell you buffalo has helped those geniuses tonight one with the turnover on their last series when miami scored it's seven and one with the mistaken taken of a punch yeah i mean it can now think about working on the ticker franklin of course the big men there and for joe ferguson not a happy night there have been some many bad moments for ferguson here in the orange bowl he obviously has never won here he's having a tough year he really is an atypical year when you remember that lads courage against san diego when he played hurt until finally he had to go out and the magnificence of his performance not this year franklin got two second down at eight ball at the 21-yard line of miami [Applause] tony nathan put it away tony [Applause] and nathan very close to a first down and for a running back at this point in a football game you better tuck it up because the first man is going to try to make the tackle the second man is going to go for that ball nathan gets the first down 29 yard line [Applause] once again next monday night we close out our regular season up in minnesota with the dallas cowboys the minnesota vikings and it'll be the warmest game you guys have ever covered in minnesota because you will be indoors it's a little drafty in the metro not for ken herbert first down franklin powering straight ahead it'll be second down and nine reminder tonight nightline focuses on business bankruptcies which are at their highest level since the depression and how one company is being accused of using the bankruptcy law to avoid paying claims that's tonight on nightline after your local news in the meantime with this game wrapped up for the dolphins the pittsburgh steelers will have clinched to play off first and the builds will not be out of it they play new england next week they'll need help well they're bringing their own snow plow [Applause] going to foxborough they mark that at the 31-yard line so it's second down in eight 435 remaining in the game [Applause] nathan isaiah robertson there first defensively for buffalo it'll be third down and seven seconds ticking off heading towards four minutes if you look at the bench of the buffalo bills remind you what bud grand once said it's a wonderful profession to be in if you win and santa claus is even here a few days after christmas yeah one of the problems the bills have had during the strike they were one of the few teams that really did not work out hardly at all that's what they attribute ferguson off yet too the fact that he took it all very personally and like kuchenberg was violently anti-strike on third and seventh franklin just punching the football watching the seconds tick off the clock and out comes the punting unit well 3 30 left and counting down gift they spent a week in vero beach acclimatizing themselves for this one maybe that was a mistake it's not easy to live on the road and be away from your family over the holiday season and i always thought it was better if you could stay home and work out there their weather prohibited them from doing that robert holt is dropped for buffalo they're down by 17. ticking down to three minutes they'll snap the ball as opposed to the 30-second clock as they can oros end over in [Applause] flag is down as oros again gets a miami bounce and this time it's inside the 25. again the flag is down but howard you use all the excuses you want the people that have the biggest excuse for the los angeles raiders they don't even have a home field they work out up in oakland they come down play their home games in los angeles they're all over the world and yet they continue to win only lost once this year i'll give them credit yes sir they don't use any excuses they just play there again an illegal block by the return team they gave us the comeback of the year down 24-0 to the chargers a great football team [Applause] and of course they'll get it on next sunday illegal use of the hands number 27 receiving team first down chris williams illegal use of the hands and buffalo already deep in a hole here in the orange bowl are backed up to their own 16-yard line we'll be right back [Music] i need it [Music] so some things speak for themselves [Applause] orange ball of miami florida pretty much wrapped up for the miami dolphins their record will go to six and two they will try and beat baltimore next sunday and hope that san diego can knock off the raiders and then the dolphins will be at home throughout the playoffs for as long as they last ferguson first and ten from his own 16. that's right he will now be at his own eight kim bo kamper and the dolphins along with doug betters [Applause] and for buffalo as we mentioned they will close out their season still alive mathematically against new england at new england if i were buffalo this time if i'd be concerned about nobody getting hurt and being healthy and ready to play next week against new england because this game is history ball marked at the eight yard line second down 18. dolphins in their pass driven defense four-man front six men in the secondary [Music] ferguson cribs and cribs was hit instantly by kozlowski [Applause] well they went to crips they finally did with two minutes left and there's is the two-minute warning unless buffalo tried to call timeout before the two-minute warning but the scoreboard clock indicates two minutes two-minute warning here in the orange bowl history bills will lose once again here in the orange bowl they haven't won since 66. we'll be right back [Music] it's the bell remembering numbers the future in your home it's a bell for having fun with from the folks who build the tone it's a bell that's so easy it's a bell that lights away it's smarter and it's better it's the bell that makes you say [Music] it's a bell that makes life easy every single day it's a bell you can count on in so many ways every system we're designing every product that we do the better ways we're finding to connect the world to you it's a genius [Music] it's at your bell phone center well our poor man's willie nelson not with us tonight he'll be up in minnesota fred that reference to don's little song that he likes to produce for us on occasion [Applause] he would have had it out a long time ago i can tell you that would he ever third down and 11 as the buffalo bills come up in their shotgun formation ball just inside their own 15-yard line [Applause] ferguson trying to get it into jerry butler incomplete all right giffen howard this telecast is presented by the authority of the national football league it is intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or other use of this telecast without the express written cause of the national football league is prohibited and gif explain something the maze would say down in south georgia why wouldn't buffalo at this point take out cribs and ferguson and the players they depend on the win this game is lost now they risk injury why ask a logical question i just that's why i asked gif a logical one i was going to ask you another one well i suppose you never think it's truly over fourth down and 11 from the shotgun 155 remaining down and miami will have the football at the 24-yard line mike kozlowski was there defensively and credit a superb effort once again to the miami's defense miami dolphins defense they made the adjustment the bills were running on them well in the first half they began to put the screws down tighter and tighter and the bills have been it's absolutely ineffectual here in the second half well they proved masterful at shooting for less than first down yardage with their key passes what's your saying they had a professional football player take a punt within four yards of the end zone a booming punt that was obviously going in he got hit immediately gave up the football that led to a touchdown they had another turnover that led to another touchdown they were a descending ball club from the middle of the second quarter rich diana number 33 the rookie from yale eddie hill number 31 those are your setbacks for the dolphins this is diana all kinds of rushing records up at yale well howard what advice would you give your good friend coach chuck knox now as he goes back to buffalo take a good hard look at himself where he's at where his team is at bill's a call timeout they have one remaining talk to ralph walton disgust possible sale of the club to gifford oh well you'd be my first head coach this abc sports exclusive has been brought to you by dotson who invites you to test drive the exciting new nissan pulsar nx that's your dobson dealer there by anheuser-busch saint louis brewers of michelob some things speak for themselves nicolo most of the fans have already left the orange bowl and of course we'll be looking forward to a pair of games next week as we look at the forlorn picture of will grant the fine center for the buffalo bills short season nevertheless it hurts joe ferguson another tough night the executive producer of abc sports is roone arleigh abc's nfl monday night football produced by bob goodrich directed by chet 40 technical director joe chavo associate director jack graham technical manager coach coltran unit manager ehrman norris telecommunications manager frank adamo assistant to the producer john mcginnis and kim belton second down and nine the ball goes once again to rich diana it's diana not too speedy about four or seven that's the final timeout for buffalo but talking about rich diana i think howard you know quite a bit about him he was averaging 187 yards per game last year didn't slow perhaps but john chula want to take a look at him so he's picking up in the draft got him in the fifth round to make our statistician peter busy hands tonight graphics steve hurt bringing you a lot of that information you've been able to pick up on your screen tonight on spotter for steve bazika don julia going all the way tonight with david woodley and i know that pleased his old shoes to be able to stick with his quarterback the entire way is what he would like to do he'd like bro willie to take over this team and and be the the quarterback of the president in the future and people struck on the bench you get pretty good at analysis of quarterback's friend what's his prospects he's going to have to develop a touch better he's got well the tough thing for woodley is he's had to come to a contending football team as a young quarterback he hasn't had a chance to mature and develop his teammates expect to win right now and he's just not mature enough as a quarterback to help him that much very frustrating and trying to grow up in that situation he is going to have to develop a touch he's got good athletic ability but he doesn't throw the ball well enough with touch to play consistently well in this league [Applause] 27-10 miami over the bills the bills can no longer stop it 131 remaining in the game third down and two at first down and that will be the ball game and diana will get it diana inside the 10-yard line 5-9 220-pound record shattering running back from yale do you think my alleys can play huh i've always had great respect for them number two draft choice of dallas linebacker jeff aurora kid's got a real future this kid gets opportunity you'll see him bulldog his way through the league in the manner of gary fences and spagnola did not show poorly yesterday against dallas rather he showed brilliantly if they come from yale frank there are other schools up there too i've never heard howard mention one quinley drops on first down seconds will tick off they'll need to do it one more time [Music] i think buffalo still wants to call time out wait a minute we got a flag in the end zone for something they had no timeouts there's a flag down what is going on i don't they're out there arguing they're behind 27 to 10 30 seconds left illegal procedure they argued correctly not an easy thing but chucka to take he has been and is a great response jackaroo wait a minute oh roo illegal formation and simpson the complaining buffalo bill got the flag i'll have everybody in this booth crazy quitting out these 30 seconds if we haven't heard about joey cribbs oh have we been joe cribs all night no joey cribs they did not hear enough of him tonight a lot of joe cribs they're getting the football as often as possible diana you might be right coach you know huh diana carries the ball for enough time to run out the clock i think they're over they're over emphasizing athletics up in the ivy league tower football it's the music of cole porter the bullaboo song buffalo goes to four and four the miami dolphins to six and two buffalo will be at new england next sunday could be desperate time for them as well as new england miami however will be a baltimore a victory there and they'll be looking for a loss the raiders to the chargers and they'll have the home field we'll be back for final work you can argue with success nissan motor corporations 9.9 annual percentage rate
