yard line gain of about six Dennis Smith the safety man from Southern California will be rooting for his alma mater a Rose Bowl against Ohio State [Music] driving to the 48-yard line and that's where the Steelers are so excited about this young man from Baylor University when he was within a tackle of going all the way [Applause] in the first quarter fifteen yes to the 45 of member the first trip into Bronco territory for the Steelers a seven yard pass to Frank colored Smith again made the tackle and Pollard also from Baylor it's an all Baylor backfield behind Malone [Applause] [Music] the middle complete the Pollard and Frank Pollard has a first down and Malone just getting rid of that one five receivers haven't caught a pass yet here's a little reverse to lips complete fabric rum be he's gonna be awfully close [Music] [Applause] and look at the per hour gain of about eight for Abercrombie maybe even nine there it is [Applause] Nelson Beals by Steve this is where the injury it's them right here Arenberg ordinarily would have that position Eldon deals goes in 9s Lake something he'll eventually kick 164 you are we just slid it inside that great upright Anderson gives the Steelers their first points of the game important to convert to put those points on the board just as Carlos is getting it done earlier good thing it was from his closest 28th it's Watson at the 28 my Washington and that indeed set up the room that's a lateral pass so white this is an elder thirty-five [Applause] as receivers that's what they've gone on the field right now [Applause] he's got a first down for the six [Applause] by the sealers the nose guard brings it back to the [Applause] no way threw it up for grabs they were on top of him you saw his eyes as he looked into that defense and apparently he did not sense the Blitz and sucked the ball I want to ask you about that play after caller drives up to about the 17 yard line now that was an unusual position to find a defensive nose tackle Dunn was playing like a defensive back Broncos have been deep in the Pittsburgh end of the field [Applause] twice in seven degrees [Music] [Applause] driving to what appears to be close to a first down at the 21 [Applause] almost five more Steelers are a long distance away from a possible lead yes our goal I'm actually our goalpost camera don't seem like a long ways when you look at it from way down on the other end zone [Applause] that great talent to bounce back to the feet and pick up the first down so lips has his first catch and nine yards wide open is saw worth he slipped away from Hardin and fortunately for Harden enough sidelines for so worth to keep on going d7 [Music] [Applause] a music said Landry helped along Mike Ditka's into the NFC Championship Game one at a time from alone to frying lips and even Louie it's a first down to Stallworth and so it has another Pittsburgh personality into protection open his Abercrombie [Applause] rookie from Arizona there down saving deflection yard field goal by Anderson here the 28-yard does the same thing [Applause] side flag is away with the free play watson as about a love play out of it great respect he has for both coaches and [Applause] extricating and yet man wide open Clarence K didn't have a white jersey within 20 yards of him but Elway was throwing under pressure they're off again this time it was mark Kitano [Applause] [Laughter] in 1873 gets the wine longest game stolen away and I didn't hear a whistle [Applause] both of these teams working at stripping that football away a much greater consciousness of that in the NFL and I think that comes from the ability that Denver and Seattle have shown during this season of taking the football away by stripping it away from the runners and receivers pretty quick whistle says the Steelers and the [Applause] finishes the job little will probably get credit for the sack but Merriweather or does he hound the quarterback here on the first half 73 [Music] and 22 [Applause] rising the watch the line of scrimmage go down in essence [Applause] honored on the screen he picks up yardage to the 29 that'll be second and three in the clock running to 44 left a chance to watch one of those traps that we talked about [Applause] east of the 48-yard line cunningham who cut only for all year in fact one of the amazing statistics in this era of the tight end and pro football is that the total catches by all the tight ends on the pittsburgh squad for the year is 11th [Applause] last to the 38 yard line Steelers have two timeouts left they used one earlier in this half six-four six-five again and finally Dennis Smith gets him out of bounds at the 15 yard line openness or the veteran John Stallworth is out of bounds at the two he has Tim playoff touchdowns eight consecutive games with at least one [Music] the end zone and the Steelers lead for the first time very late touchdown call the officials looking back and forth and finally one of them threw his arms in the air it looked like second effort from Frank Pollard giving Pittsburgh a 10-7 leap the only mistake they made maybe they score too soon 114 still left 33 seconds delgo deep here wide open is Watson is he by Steve Watson [Applause] and he's at the 44 [Laughter] Denver takes their final timeout you remember they had to call too because of confusion earlier tackled in bounds no timeouts left fake the winder a throw to will hide with 12 seconds there at the 40 so this would be a 57-yard field goal try if they were to try now but they've got it and they throw it up and try and get a penalty [Applause] that's no cat okay [Applause] barold it's way downfield and that is how the first half comes to a close underdog Pittsburgh following a script written earlier by the Chicago Bears takes the lead at the intermission 10:00 to 7:00 p.m. [Music] pittsburg wide open his lips but he can't hang this was a little old that let's should have gathered in [Music] [Applause] oh hi looks like he wants to [Applause] - mimics that was a tackle eligible pass Dave stuttered number 70 a left tackle he had to announce he was an eligible receiver he was the man in the endzone that well hike was looking for [Applause] winder under pressure has to throw it away and the Steelers have the coverage of Butch Johnson and Elway under tremendous pressure from Keith Willis they took that first way to the right let's see what he does with us 121 yards and he's got it it's tie to ten [Applause] [Music] well the two defenses we said early Merlin you underlined that back the strength of the two teams the reason they are here the defenses well the defense blocks the punt then the Pittsburgh defense hold which is the field goal even that ten days [Applause] [Music] almost intercepted [Applause] [Music] to the 50 to the 47 of the Steelers [Applause] whooshing show [Applause] [Music] there's Joe Collier he's what various alignments from the pittsburgh 47 right [Applause] [Music] there was a legal motion against Denver Jim draw a longer [Applause] [Music] a game it's him [Applause] 25 [Music] to [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all of you this Steelers offside yes a flag is down [Applause] see [Applause] against the sailors by John Elway [Applause] [Music] [Applause] right into the camera and right Steve Watson let's watch the throwing action of Elway you saw he had to be right on the money Donnie show was on his target and although he limps a little on the follow-through he says that's right down the middle Steve right [Applause] there's lips first down at the Denver 43 [Applause] [Music] Paul and heat dances close to a first down and I believe he has a first down inside the 33 yard line Dennis Francisco but EP odds why his lips and he has another first down near the 15 Louie Reich body slams him but lips holding on to the football and a 17 yard advance [Music] or you could see now he's setting up the blocks that instantaneous little fake and move as he feels the defense kaida lips and he is going to get the touchdown anyway or Izzy's right yes [Applause] and you've got a reaction from Chuck Cole on the sidelines on that one the thing that is rather amazing about Louie lips is that he has such great strength for a small receiver and he is not afraid to stick his nose in there he touched down close he doesn't give strabinsky that big a hand 3:19 remaining in the quarter it's even at 17 [Music] Alexander but not for long as he's written to the turf number 41 doors at Donnie shell 31 that's 41 it was Sam Washington who did it Washington following all the way in from the outside but look at Elway he's still he's suffering with that groin burden 10 shotgun from the 14 there's that shovel pass the Wilhite breaks one time but he'll be short by a couple John Goodman saved the first down in Elway limps off there trying to beat that defensive end you see 17 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] at the 46 of Denver and Abercrombie ripping off another big gain and Elway with that facial expression acting as though he may not be able to continue it's not the groin pole now it's the left knee you saw him buckle under on that play where Merriweather rolled on his back of his ankle this time it's pollard throw a big hole and he has another pittsburgh first down at the 33 [Applause] Denver defense [Music] it's tied at 17 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] vici Thompson that'll be a first down for Pittsburgh as Thompson the rookie from Florida State has his first catch [Applause] incomplete Calvin sweetie [Applause] by either Robbins or Steve Wilson I think Randy [Music] no he missed to the left [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they had him stopped at the line of scrimmage and the big fullback from Baylor second effort has put it in the end zone twice today the Bronco defense has stopped collared short of the line and Pollard's leg strength and determination has given him a touchdown [Applause] and he had to throw that one away Alexander airing the silver spoons welcome those viewers that had just joined us Denver in Pittsburgh gear and they playoff challenge the winner to go to Miami next week and the subscribe [Music] and denver spends a timeout with a clock still running they have three timeouts remaining but now they need big yardage there's Watson too-tall for him and he was open that would have been a first down out of the there it is fourth down away eight something big [Applause] and there's it out deep but it's out of bounds and that's it the Steelers can start to celebrate football could improve if you didn't win the game by doing this that you should make a legitimate attempt at trying to advance the football but it's only one lonely voice in the crowd 24 to 17 it bounced the other way [Applause] presumably a 40-yard attempt to clinch the win and that won't help it's wide to the right so Anderson [Applause] all active tickers missus three hours [Applause] the shotgun 22 seconds left and no Watson but he's in the field of play and stop the clock 13 the Steelers even say I've been way back five yard line in their own [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the whole games over the Steelers have won it the Washington Denver is upset by the Steelers through Frank coloreds efforts have won 2417 Dick Enberg
