merino knees for to tie five to break the standard of 36 he'll join me by ye tittle and George Blanda Mark Cooper has seven touchdown passes Mark Clayton has a league-leading 11 and tonight marina will face the New York Jets and Mark Gastineau the premier pass rusher in the game today at six five at 265 pounds Gastineau leaves the NFL in quarterback sacks and tonight he'll be focusing his enormous talent on the young dolphin quarterback playoff hopes for the entry rack Jets or swim but if running back Freeman McNeil plays up to form tonight those hopes could remain alive and McNeil is also looking for a personal record he needs less than 100 yards to surpass the Jets rushing record for a single season set by John Reagan's back in 1975 he could get it tonight we're live from Miami mr. New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins Tim hopes alive for a possible playoff spot meanwhile the Miami Dolphins have clinched the Eastern Division of the AFC and after Denver's lost yesterday's in Seattle they are in control of their own destiny a win tonight and a win in the final three games they will be in charge of home field throughout the AFC playoffs the wind is blowing in from the open part of the stadium the Jets have won the toss they will be receiving and dropping back is mullein along with kurt spring is number 21 Jeff's first offensive series will go against a brisk wind that is blowing here this evening move upon Charmin to kick things off came to make it twelve and one little bit of that wind as Vaughn Charmin put it right out of the end zone thank you for the long the Don Meredith of OJ Simpson this evening and the Jets racked with injuries particularly in their secondary are going to have a hard time getting troops out there tonight to face the number one passing team in the NFL the number one offense believe me these Jets have really been pounded in their secondary they make mr. dolphin free week they lost three quarterbacks game set to go [Music] out of the University of California Davis came up number one wrapped up a year ago unable to go tonight his calf line because of also injured is hammered by gum fetters the defensive left hand let's take a look at the rest of that offensive unit for the Jets their offensive line has stayed pretty much intact and they'll be trying to protect this man ken O'Brien who had a lot of trouble last week against Houston Houston coming with a lot of blitzes against the Jets and you know Brian they really had him disturbed somewhat we have injuries all suited the Jets at the outside receiver position Wesley Walker unable lamb Jones playing with a very sore hamstring also he has had a slight case of flu there with the loss of three fetters against McNeil it'll be second down 13 green McNeil left side once again out up at the 22 about the 21 where it will bring up third down and nine defensively the top of the course like all teams will move out of their three for basic defense in situational defense but they have great linebacking Kosinski on the right side they to our they have been hurt because Ernie Road the leading tackler on the inside is not able to go tonight because of the hips nerve in the neck so Mark Brown is in there a second-year man out of Purdue third finds himself his first passing situation in the first game three weeks ago Freeman McNeil had but he is playing sore ribs for Brian slam Jones and Jones left first down yardage on to the 30 yard again keep in mind lamb Jones playing with a very sore leg Leslie Walker unable to go Bobbie Humphrey is also injured so the two healthy receivers have not caught an NFL pass that's Bruckner and tied Davidson bill justin is the guide number 49 in its own lamb over here lamb makes a pretty good move to the inside boy he's got the quickness Anthony he's the guy that they expected so much out of his head so that's a hard time staying healthy play he did a good job in the end of last season he was really coming on strong they was looking for big things out of him this year but unfortunately he got hurt early in the season 1st down and 10 Cedric Manor number 25 the single setback for the Jets he'll try open the right side and he'll get a couple yards moving out to the 35 mentor just came off the injured reserved for the Jets this week he has had his problems but he's a fairly good run out of the backfield and a better receiver and Joe Walt of course the old teammate of mine with the Giants started out of Washington as an offensive coach new years as often sees the coach of the Jets before he took over as head coach a year ago as both of his team to his own liking they did away with Jude ties in the one quarter back to the Orleans this past season prelim McNeal back in on second down and seven this sort of a 35 take him down from behind and it is jambo camper coming in from the right side and the field just short of the Linus village you'll lose the yard and we're going to have the third down and he got a feeling we're gonna hear hear I'm an awful lot tonight boat camper number 58 he plays that nose guard nose tackle or whatever you wanna call that thing really well very quick now he's quick but you can run at him that's the book on these golf and defensive ends both campers and veterans that you can run at them that the Jets are going to have any chance to win here tonight they're gonna have to eat up the clock by controlling the ball on the ground and keeping that Miami high-powered offense off the football fuel third m8 we will set backs [Music] Joan has the first down out to the 44 yard line so lamb Jones now if you see the end of the two successful O'Brien passes and one would suspect and probably so that Jones will be the outside you see but that gets to work as we watching here well they say lamb is hurting but he's really doing a good job of shaking the man who's trying to bump him coming off the line of scrimmage to grant a turn in caught the ball kept his feet which is something that a lot of receivers will not do for you so you must not be hurting that bad lamb Jones now with two first down receptions the Jets fighting a brisk breeze a move to their own 44 yard line first and Bobbie Humphrey number 84 top of your screen the wide receiver and a bride will drop Brian gets a sailor off that stiff wind also his ban well covered with Bobbie Humphrey our referee tonight is Fred Wyatt and we have our first flag of the night I mean once again this season the least penalized team in the NFL and that is an amazing step in the other great date is hardly if they only had 50 penalties up until this year and if they go through the season and to do that it gave me the night here in a row that this fence team is the least penalized team in the National Football League that's got to pay something right they're disciplined they're well they execute very well he got you know the knee Frank is like the cosmic kochi you think about winning when you look at him and he's done it for so many years 20 years in the league and 15 here in Miami and he does it with these teams he's always gets these no-name defenses you have a hard time identifying a lot of their stars Jets have already four and a half minutes on the clock second down and ten O'Brien looking deep trying to get upfield to Nick Bruckner and no success there William Jetson back there defensively well they were trying to take advantage of Jetson playing man-to-man and not reading the quarterback he had his back to Tino Brian and he tried to hang it up normally you'll see that play on the goal line but unfortunately with this win he couldn't throw the proper pass the situational change is now by both teams two tight ends are in for the Jets that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to try and block with them because their rookie from Miami when Jennison is a good receiver a legal suspect you're gonna start looking to Mickey Schuler or Dennis on had tied in O'Brien daddy fueler and he was ever so open he really was the Dolphins as he mentioned Frank have not they're too good against the rush this year but there's a reason for that they've been so far a hit from everybody the most teams have been passing on them but another interesting statistic is they've only had two passes all year long that have been for a big play for more than 40 yards if that would have been completed that was good one for Team Aztec Ramsey kicking into the breeze they've got that ball sailing off ken O'Brien arm and over the outstretched fingertips of Mickey Schuler that would have been a dead first down now it's going to be Miami's first possession that is a pretty yard effort by Ramsey fighting that stiff win and here is a youngster Dan Marino who is exciting the entire world of football but like if you just ask for a light beer you never know what you hold so if you want the less filling light beer with the first thing than taste don't just ask for a light beer give me a light and ask them to bring out their best cane camps four-by-fours sport trucks all major values starting at a $59.99 sticker same as last year all reengineered with a new smooth side starbucks lease on 85 built tough enough to be major motion right now special incentives from Nissan can help save you big money at your Datsun dealer but hurry offer limited with the strong right arm of this youngster Dan Marino now in his second year out of Pittsburgh the Miami Dolphins are averaging over 300 yards a game passing he does it ever so well he has the quick release that you hear so much about he genuinely has one he has that ball up there cocked and ready to release it anytime [Applause] 23 yards [Applause] a single setback in the fryer good receiver fine runner he'll pick up a quick five yards to bring up second down and five and let's take a look at the rest of that offensive unit they'll terrorize you on the outside of the mark plate in number 83 he's got 11 touchdowns into the night and averaging over 18 yards reception duper leading the league an average for catch over 98 yards he has seven touchdowns and between the three tight ends hardy Johnson to Rose they have completed 53 passes there and they're working against Jeff's defensive secondary second down and five [Applause] the 28 yard line [Music] 2:36 and let's take a look at that defensive unit up front of course perhaps the most celebrated the offensive line of the game today is Mark Gastineau 18 and a half sacks into the night the linebackers open the left side Greg Buttle is out with a shoulder entry rusty Guilbeau is in there replacing him the secondary well three out of the four is questionable how long they can go and they're playing all out of position they lost three corner they're trying to go tonight more about that later [Applause] party nice hurts breaks over there that time he had a man from man you saw hard he come out of the his tiny in position much gain good played by Curt spring Marino has such a good arm that when he throws the ball it's almost as if he's puppy you know and it's his delivery from his pump and look and his release is just about the same so I think these defensive back can't get a read on when he's really throwing the football loss to San Diego we could go instead of Miami record he completed twenty eight [Music] season record of over 5,000 you are second and nine joke learners receive of Alabama who has performed well for the Dolphins this year a yard out of it to bring up third and seven but Carter has been pressed into service by the loss of Andra Franklin the leading rusher from a year ago they lost him early in the season and of course tragically the loss of David Overstreet in an automobile accident last June so it has been Tony Nathan taking up the slack along with Joe Carter the rookie from Alabama third down and seven from the shotgun Gastineau finally delivers the negative waiting ball what is a rather nap more incomplete double coverage on that play get beaten hissed man at the line of scrimmage and unfortunately the safety came up and even though he was open made the play gonna have some fun now we're gonna watch the great kicker read 0b on fourth down the fewest bunts in the NFL there he is second year man out of Iowa and he can really prove it when he gets the opportunity to kick away but the offense of Miami is so good he just doesn't have that many opportunities 33 punts they've got three three touchdown passes 32 but Marino dropping back dangerous return man for the Jets Curt Springs he can go all the way he saw him beat New Orleans for the 76 yard kept returned a year ago Springs watches it off the foot calls with a Bearcat before that ball had even reached the peak of desire for the death will get the football back they'll be posted there 22 yard line their second possession when we come back picture a computer so good it can easily run over a thousand of the best programs written for the IBM PC so good it can also run powerful new cartridge programs like Lotus 1-2-3 or a program that lets you paint pictures in living sparkling color so far so good now picture this without monitor it costs less than a thousand dollars and it comes from IBM PC junior the computer that's growing by leaps and bounds last year Sears tuned up 1 million engines performed more than a million break repairs installed over 3 million shots sold upwards of 9 million tires and replaced more batteries than anyone else in America at Sears we install confidence and best of all we do it right next door to all this [Music] an exciting CFA double-header first at 12:00 Eastern number 11 Auburn guns for a Sugar Bowl berth against Alabama then 3rd ranked Florida tackles number 12 Florida State Saturday on ABC the orange ball is fired up tonight giving us the South Florida version of the wave if you will but they have had so much to be fired up over this season a Miami Dolphins at 11 M 1 they have clinched the AFC East of Division they're playing the Jets tonight and they know that if they can win tonight they can beat the Raiders next week they can beat Indianapolis and Dallas the game will bring you the final Monday of the season they will be in total control of the playoff situation they'll play all the games right here in the Orange Bowl in Miami that's the time remaining the on first down side and that feel good hard running yet a hundred and thirty two yards in the first meeting of these teams three weeks ago gain of five will be second and five we're going to be moving out of Miami to head up to Minnesota to bring you a Thursday night game between the rejuvenated and I guess that's the best way to put it Washington Redskins against the Minnesota Vikings and that NFC East well they all know they have to keep winning it is really tied up in not sad Washington has got Charlie Brown back they have the great art month who is leading the league in receptions once again exposure watching the rest games five Dail at the 30-yard line short of the first down by a couple will bring up third down and two are in the papers a Theismann is you know he's talking a little bit more now and he says he's got his missiles back but the diesels hurting a little bit Riggins is still got a little bit of back trouble he did score a touchdown yesterday but they're saving him a little bit so they go under the air in the young miss that's gonna be a good ballgame they've got the Bears out in San Diego next Monday I'm looking forward to that game [Music] capacity crowd 75,000 Plus chanting defense so reverse the grand Dennis with the Jets Charles Bowser that came out there Charles says you're not getting around me baby I'm going after you that's good move by your land backer whoa look at that guy move as a young man it came up in the second round but he had a great year with Miami the national champions a year ago with 54 receptions and he is just starting to blossom here for the Jets he be a child Bowser did a super job on this because this play is designed to get a lot of yards not just the first down and I'm sure they ran it there are gambling a little bit trying to get a big play out of it it's only the second reverse that the Jets of one is here they don't like to come with those plays that they're going to have to come with everything tonight Nicky show their first down up close to midfield Nickey Schuler having a superb year for the Jets even though they have struggled and have lost their last four games he is 43 receptions now on the season a long way from the end of this ball game but you got to think the Jets feel pretty good right now because they be top and they've been hurting so much they're going into a very strong win and he's throwing that ball pretty well and they're keeping the ball and that's the key to this game for the Jets that they get they got to eat up that clock time of possession means something in this game the short of midfield first and 10 to the [Applause] inside six minutes remaining in the first quarter sighs Oh Miami look like Tony page the rookie from Virginia Tech up to midfield for a gain of about a yard and there was movement in the line and indicated offsides against the dolphin so that'll be a five-yard pickup capacity crowd 75,000 blacked out of the Miami area was not sold out was that sold out prior to the 72-hour deadline and the fans have turned out they have seen so much great football over the years you heart back to before times the Dolphins have gone to the Super Bowl 72 the undefeated 17 and Oh season his fan of 1972 and 73 feeling they were thirty two and two they're all princesses [Applause] [Music] O'Brien for freamon McNeil and somebody got a paw on it no surprise they're done I thought with first and five that they would run the ball I did ken O'Brien is kind of an unknown quantity in a way you know Kent came in as a number one draft choice and I remember old draft day that jet fans were saying who in the world is ken O'Brien that's oh that's that's so big 75 Doug fetters he's got his hand up but of course Marino was not drafted so they got Jen O'Brien he's still good [Applause] but bail he's held for a gain of about a yard we'll bring up a third down and for the interesting story when you watch these two quarterbacks tonight you know Brian was a number one draft pick a year ago for the Jets he was taken in the 24th round of the first round of picks and oddly enough Dan Marino was taken 27 in a fascinating story you know Brad didn't play hardly at all a year ago saw very little duty did not throw a pass the first seven games of this season and then with that Brian went down with a pair of concussions and rib partly injury he was pressed into a starting role a week ago along tonight for the Jets third O'Brien complete first down Jets and he breaks the tackle to the 32 yard line Lin Blackwood makes the stop in the Jets working against the breeze and the very strong one are moving the football successfully just a little bit more on O'Brien when he can't you know when he came in he's had some trouble as we said starting but that time that was a good solid set he's set in there and threw that ball very confidently but a lot of people in the general organization said that he probably wouldn't have had that job anyway that fat Brian had actually outplayed him in pre-season had his troubles with his club 54 situation so it's coming here see see how he comes out of I think he's got the talent first down and ten the Jets moving at the 32 yard line of the Dolphins Freeman McNeil single setback Schuler in motion McNeil inside the 30 will get about four out of that well it's no surprise that the Jets are running the ball successfully they're the number one rushing team in the AFC they have one of the great offensive line posters and footballer with one of the great offensive line when Jim Ringo he was my old coach up in Buffalo when I had my better years up there and that's the one bright spot for this jet team as far as running the football is concerned because that's the only place that they've had no internet today that's why that's exactly right no edge is that offensive line they mark it near the 28th so we'll call it second down and seven that's the time remaining in the first quarter we have no score from the or [Applause] klaxon by Orion [Music] [Applause] play-act nobody picked him up he was wide open in the gesture on the scoreboard first on a 28 toss it was O'Brien to McNeil deal means to the Jets office he does so much good have been we've got a new linebacker in there mark brown you see 51 he's the closest one to it hard to say up here whether he missed an assignment or not but somebody did well that's a good guess because Mark Brown lifts his team int and tackling the first three games of the season but they benched him because they said he didn't play the pass well so that could have been his man McNeil's first touchdown catch of the year Leahy on for the conversion Matt Ryan the injured quarterback holder Lahey gets it through the uprights and there is a bit of a stunned sort of quiet that is settled over the Orange Bowl and the Jets that moved the ball well the 252 remaining in the first quarter they lead seven to nothing Nissan 300zx turbo you know the car but do you know what is like to drive it [Applause] now you know once you get inside a Z Z will get inside of you [Music] it's your Datsun dealer you've got your Christmas bonus Oh [Music] underwhelmed a man is giving the Christmas bonus

bonus no one was tough enough until plenty stood escaped from Alcatraz someday now well we remember Paulton Walker from Super Bowl 17 when he set a Super Bowl record for kickoff returns one of them on 98-yard return and that loss against the Redskins he missed four games early in the year but we know that he can travel the business-lady puts it in the air against the stiff breeze and Walker will field it at the three yard line good return he could have popped it big but he does get out close to the 28 yard line where Miami frustrated with their first possession of the night will have another opportunity when we come back to the Orange Bowl introducing more truck 485 to $59.99 these son more payload than any other leading standard compact truck more combined standard power and torque to

four monday night football games that's the longest current Monday night winning streak by any NFL team it's not a bad record on Monday night they also lost the first seven times they played on Monday Night Football let's take a look at the scoring drive capped off by the 28 yard touchdown pass O'Brien to McNeil mixed it up a little bit they had one pass and OJ and I thought they were going to run on that first and five and there they had one little penalty thrown in just out over the 28 yard line possession they're electrifying offense with their first position they were unable to get it on geared dan johnson johnson is after the 45 yard line meal market near the 44 first down in 10 miami Frank what you said about Moreno earlier is his ability to carry the ball high and when he gets the ball snap from center it immediately comes right up to that throwing position I don't think if I could deliver the ball any quicker than he did that fan that's just that quick recognition of the defense there's a receiver and there it is it's almost an impossible pass to stop unless you have a defensive being or line back to bump that tight in at the line of scrimmage that's absolutely right first down and ten ball at the 44 yard line [Applause] this to the tight-end booth party ball is loose there's a scramble whistle have flow even though the Jets were in possession of a rusty kill bo came away with it I don't know they are going to bring it back and it's going first down Miami very popular with the crowd hear the whistle apparently had flown that was a tough one because we had two officials pulling the other way but the referees right on it and he's the head man red white go Walt exercise somewhat interesting stories and always develop in football until Walton came up for the Washington Redskins they put him on defense also playing defense for the Redskins that year Don Shula the teammates with the Redskins now adversaries the first down is at the 41-yard line of the Jets [Applause] in the reverse action that was the joke it's outside quit breaking fly set up beautifully the play inside pulling the line back at the end and Carter got to the outside situation where they've obviously looked at a lot of film if you'll see they're gonna catch guest and on the inside move the mark is such a great pass rusher he'll go anywhere they walk there's a tackle try to explosion to go inside he get he got outside of him and that helps his five point five rushing average does it Joe Carter out of Alabama was too shy of being counted in the standings relief standings but let's see yes you'll have the best brushing average the first down inside the 25-yard five and [Applause] close to another first down he'll have it near the 12 yard line in the arms of döblin Mullin but that's just good hard running sitting after he's hit woody Bennett who has taken up a lot of that slack with the loss of Andre Franklin gets the first down for Miami well it's really good running as you can see they're picking on the center of this Jets defense to his board good at leg action got a tackle a man like woody Bennett low but what they're doing is picking oh Kyle clipped in number 59 he's a rookie he's playing little linebacker that's a lot of territory to cover in a 4-3 defense he's the only guy another opening this time hammer however God was there that day Guilbeau defensively has been it gets to the two yard line of Gill Bowl and now who made to stop the two linebackers on the outside for the Jets final seconds ticking off here in the first quarter we don't think the Jets are going to be too terribly unhappy about getting that's wind in their favor [Music] hand it off and let a second down and eight will be at the 10-yard line when we come back to the Orange Bowl and operations Hawaiian Islands [Music] [Music] most jobs promise you the world the Navy delivers see you recruiter recalled his number maybe it's not just a job it's an adventure if you just ask for a light beer you never know what you'll get and I'll have a light so if you want the less fillion light beer with the first movement aches don't just ask for a light beer give me a life ask them to bring out their best is everything else it's just alike now there's a gasoline that will help get top performance out of your car there's a gasoline that will eliminate knocking and pinging now there's a gasoline with the highest our team we're 93.5 Voltron we can't buy it from Chemical X on it's only available from Sunoco 93.5 ultra the ultimate in the Jets dominated early in the first quarter able to move the ball well up field they lead seven to nothing but Miami has come roaring back [Applause] the second part of the ball at the 10-yard line woody Bennett single set back out to the right with the dangerous mark Cooper that's Mark Clayton up at the top of your screen the two young wide receivers I already can't hold on while the ball was there though the object threw a ball any better than that look they're congratulating old rusty for being back there but rusty didn't that must have do with that and then even able holdover in the ball game now comes the best receiving tied in for Miami that's Joe Rose he was activated off the injury reserve a week ago did not see much action in San Diego but he is dangerous down around the goal line and we have a third down innate situation no Rose number 80 and out to the top of your screen this time goes mark Cooper Mark Clayton is flipped right now he's in the Swat above the top of the screen more around this time Gastineau appear to be offside yeah Marino in the corner of the endzone trying to get it to that floor incomplete but again a flag is down that Gastineau looked as though he snapped off of the line it scrimmaged a little early more than just the five yards they're giving Marino another chance to throw well one of the reasons I tell you to look for that more is this has been a godsend from that boy they have these two mark Cooper Mark Clayton playing on the outside because he'll come in on third down and play the third P the third receiver and normally he's going to get a safety our linebacker trying to cover him and it's been a new life in that more here he's working against the third best defensive back on the defense he item their time of possession the Jets were able to control the ball throughout to the first quarter they lead seven to nothing we have a third down and three in the ball is marked right at the five yard line now we have the four wide receivers Oh in the tight ends are out mark plate 83 mark to 485 Matt Moore oh just talk to him and Jimmy cephalo with the good moves number 81 for wide receivers the Dolphins will come from the shotgun [Applause] number 99 Gastineau double coverage Stevenson coming out they get the time hit the ball to Clayton that's his quote touchdown reception that ties the Miami Dolphin record sent by Matt Moore back in 1977 and records will be falling quite frequently for these dolphins offensively for the remainder of the season but it's a major problem on that play both Cooper and more ended up in the same place because they're getting bumped around by these defense as you can see his mark clayton coming off the ball pretty difficult to tell where he wanted to go because both he and Matt Moore got bumped to the outside and Clayton found the crease across the book again the hesitancy of that secondary that's been wracked by injuries with the loss of four cornerback starters when you're down close to the goal line you have to play those receivers tight you cannot give them any area they played them well unfortunately Dan Marino through the uprights he put the grill back in the place kicking game for the Dolphins not having a good year but he ties the game with 1441 remaining in the first half tonight a linebacker has the greatest game of his life as allspice deodorant and antiperspirant presents NFL classics for the buffer 200 miles now on a hot track for morning tonight you'll find out just how strong your deal der it is I'm Cale Yarborough I'll drive race cars this is my deodorant Old Spice

course the yellow is that 5-yard penalty against Gastineau that what about a third down and five in Marino answered with the shot to Clayton now the Jets are working with the breeze at their back and believe me it does make a difference particular to your passing game Raymond McNeil single setback that's Mickey Schuler in motion and look like tomorrow is the offside [Applause] zone the flag is

so will be with us first down at five sighs Emily what's one up good defensive play by lankford against the we actually the ball hung up there and Langford was able to cover the ground and hid given up to Humphrey when Langford did a super job of that time I don't think he ever saw the football I think he's reacting to jump to Joe to the receiver to Humphrey Mar yes he does he turns around and sees the ball just enough and shoot as if he was trying to catch it has found 33 touchdown passes and this the 13th game in the night he is not over remarkable so much poise in any situation look out Freeman Freeman McNeil who can run with the best of the whinnies healthy believe me is hurting with sore ribs tonight breaks off a 35-yard camera it'll be first down jets as they are moving the ball well against Miami but Miami defensively over the past few games have been giving us a lot of yards on the ground earnest Jackson to San Diego that over a hundred you saw him doing one super job there even though the play play was designed to go inside he saw the whole field and right away he knew he wanted to get outside he broke to the outside and being the great back end he is picked up 35 yards mentioned Jackson the San Diego week ago getting over 100 Philadelphia Eagles got 177 yards rushing two weeks ago [Applause] you know Tony page the rookie from Virginia Tech that's another good first down gain right there at the middle you know it's amazing I think you do things when you practice all day to get the repetition but as I mentioned earlier the game not too many teams have been close to Miami so they've had to resort to the fast so they have it run therefore the defense has in fact much practice against defending against run see how well I figure well this jet team is an excellent running team against anybody there their biggest problem today or the thing they have to guard against is turnovers - that may be the only thing to get them out of this game second down and two the ball at the 29 yard line [Applause] cédric better by boxwood ciske one of the strong linebackers against the run one of the killer peas as they like to call themselves the betters bomb Howard Bo capper Brzezinski Bowser's black wooden black wood they got some bees in there haven't they there's one of them he says probably going to require a measurement very close to the first down sticks on the far side of the field and they'll bring them out I remind you Thursday night will be up in Minnesota the weather I'm sure would be vastly different what we have here tonight a real balmy temperature in the 70s evening here in Miami will be good up there we're gonna be inside watching Washington rejuvenate in Washington Redskins with Charlie Brown back on the offense Theismann having a big day yesterday Riggins taking a bit of a rest and they of course end a tremendous battle that NFC Eastern Division that is absolutely locked the Giants of course with their victory yesterday and the Redskins Dallas winning on Thanksgiving Day they're all at 8 and 5 in the Eastern Division of the NFC kind of fitting the Vikes are gonna play pretty well up there at home they haven't had a good season so that they play loose they might give them some real trouble well they are throwing team and most throwing team will go play that's Washington risk in pretty close first down and 10 near the 27 yard line game tied at 7:00 we're in the second quarter O'Brien what on yeah rips wonderland tones he can't handle as he was covered by Poul length field it'll be second down in ten nothing else don t know Brian has a rifle himself you know you mentioned earlier that they don't know what he can do his biggest problem has been thus far this year everyone knows what Dan Marino can do and Dan Marino was drafted after Ken O'Brien but I agree with you if they give this kid a chance I think he's going to show that I he rated me in a number one draft choice feeling that he and real have several good games against one another before their careers are ended [Applause] [Music] Schiller and he'll ever first down inside the 15-yard line he's in the arms of Wynn Blackwood but he gets the first down making Shula having his best season as a jet that was a good throw Oh Jay and he threw that thing just a little bit before he made his break with a great deal of confidence the ball was right on the money she looks a little nervous over there on the sidelines and yes they are not even getting close to O'Brian there is hope pressure on him whatsoever and we saw what Dan Fouts did last week and they only sacked about one time and Faust threw it over 50 times and ultimately pulling off the victory first loss Miami has suffered in this season [Applause] [Music] [Applause] is going to think about right there perfectly thrown ball in front of Paul Lankford you can't get much more openness and as you can't get an easier reception than that beautiful throw yes time that's the first key look at that ham John beat his man the ball is dead on the money dead solid perfect Oh lamb that's a couple now that have been dropped already the season or other tonight as a branded six of 13 for 90 yards and he has the one touchdown shot the 28 yard in the stream in the ten ball inside the 16-yard line we'll look at it from the end zone on this passing situation I am jonesing motion O'Brien is back again Mark Brown was filling in for Nero almost picked it off situation I think that time LJ where he only was his receiver didn't look to that inside one of the first keys a quarterback takes when he takes the snap is checked those linebackers right and finally which way do they drop I don't know what he did or whether he didn't it appears that he didn't because he threw it right in the middle in the linebacker had moved well the Miami plays two linebackers in Marc Brown was the linebacker for centerline back when I say to two inside backwards Marc Brown with the inside backer on the other side of the field so I agree with you John I don't think he looked over third down and ten once again that will cover it from the end zone end of the line up Cedric Mitchard of the 25 good receiver out of the backfield of Bryant on a quick count he's trying to go to Schuler killer was open [Music] defensive play William Jensen banged into Schuler in a passive Scheuer probably should have caught because he was hit right in the hands with it what point you called it I think William Jetson time that play perfectly but the pass is dead on the money again comes Lahey on fourth down will have a favoring breeze and the attempt will be from 30 yards [Applause] or place it down 15 of 19 very accurate within close he certainly is and the Jets have untied it with 11:33 remaining in the first pass they lead the dolphin 10 to 7 and the enthusiasm has been dampened again here in the Orange Bowl get a good look at the first Nissan Maxima se and find a lot of car an all-new fuel-injected 3 litre v6 engine track stable front wheel drive electrically adjustable shocks more performance then you'll ever need the new Nissan Maxima se a car built to perform on the track is a lot of car for the road it's your Datsun dealer this bus for everyone in the spotlight before the show begin [Music] just for you and distinctively clean crisp taste that says Budweiser [Music] this skating great ty bolonia and Randy Gartner Jojo Starbuck and Ken Shelly must be amazing Robin cousins at the International professional figure skating championships when ABC's Wide World of Sports return Saturday December 8th Don Shula has shown the concern on the sidelines the Dolphins not playing their dolphin types of football that they have not played well defensively over the past four weeks that trail agrees Lahey is out of the end zone [Applause] but the Jets able to move the ball in the air and on the ground thus far against the Dolphins and it has head coach Don Shula quite concerned Jimbo camper the defensive right in and a former all-pro linebacker is being attended to there on the sidelines they're fixing up his shoulder pad so Miami brings out their explosive offensive unit with a 1st and 10 at their own 20-yard line they bring out dual set backs Tony Nathan good running a good receiver and woody Bennett the workhorse [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's a shot to Clayton he stays inbounds it gets the first down out here the 34 yard line can they did a tattoo job on Mark Gastineau on that play they put a little quick roll to the right and they had about four guys get gas to noted once they got him inside I think the entire Miami Dolphins offensive line took a shot at him I talked to him right before the game are Gastineau and he really was incensed about what's been going on he said bringing that type in down on me said these legs are pretty valuable he'll tell you about it we've been getting hammered but the tight end and the tackle and the dolphins have been using their Center wide Stephenson to block with it [Music] [Applause] takes a good running he'll be short of the first down by about a foot mark is limping a little bit all day I don't know what that means but something hurt a little bit that last time you got to give Schumer credit because that was a well-designed play Cleveland green number 74 was blocking mark Gasson though took him at the line of scrimmage let him take the inside play is designed to go outside let him take the inside perfect does they want to go right outside of him there's no way Mark Gastineau can get back into play on that well they definitely working on it but we look at it mark as we mention the type of show leads the league of individual sacks for the quarterback the thing about Miami they don't let them sack in arena all year leaving section six times I think that's indeed riding seven for the entire team there he was sex second and short yard a marina with throws one away looking for Clayton he was in between defenders and Dan Johnson the tight end well covered so it'll bring up third down short yardage for Marino who has the record for fewest a cardinal it was the Cardinals in 70 and San Francisco in 70 and the Cardinals in 75 and they gave up eight sites so that Miami has given up seven days far I think that's really a startling statistic when you think about many teams have their quarterback sacks more than that sometimes in one Bowl and be the team with the fewest penalties getting the quarterback there you'd be holding a little there big jobs for the big man is there backed up yet I don't think he got there Gilboa number 84 was there as was party lions and bucko coming down and I think that the that the jet so we're all sides and there's one of those that somebody kind of just jumped right there the last and I ladies gonna be an offside against the jet lag is down here's the call Fred Wyatt well that will be the first down for my antics now that's twice situation where a penalty has cost the one time maybe a touchdown offside defense for sale that's the rest of the speed of the Jets outside receivers Wesley Walker with a quadricep muscle bruise severe wind and that Bob a Bellini a nine-year veteran of the Chicago Bears that got into a little bit of a problem with Mike Ditka they cut him loose and [Applause] here to the jet with the backup dan Marino tried to whip one into duper incomplete well Gastineau put a little pressure on there they had a somewhat of a delayed blitz kyle lipton came in and he saw moreno throughout a short arm that one take a look at mark gasps no 99 probably the best pass rusher maybe they ever play this game have to put him right up there with Deacon Jones the best I've ever seen that's Cleveland green who did a pretty good job on Gastineau three weeks ago in the victory Miami had over the dips but they also will bring Dwight Stephenson when they want to go deep they'll bring the center Dwight Stevenson typically when they work against that for three Stevenson ads no man second in ten and they with about a three-yard pickup it'll bring up a third down and seven so mark gasps and they'll take the outside which is containment and still get back inside to make the tackle now that's something he's doing this year that he got a lot of criticism for last year they said he didn't play the run so well and a lot of teams picked on him will this off the season he must have worked on it because he's been playing the run fairly decently this year gets only have 31 sacks in a tonight and Gastineau has 18 and a half of those well they depend upon it we're bringing the prevent defense three down linemen thirds out [Applause] flag is down please remove that [Music] mark plate then that guy throw that is his 15th touchdown of the season that ties the team record but a flag is down [Music] they're gonna bring it back we got a new rule about the way the offensive line lines up and I got a feeling that maybe Cleveland I mean but their line was bold on the right side and Cleveland green look like you move off the wall look like he started back a little bit too quickly but what it doesn't take anything away from that throwing cats except six points what a fruity throw in Kent illegal motion number 74 well it was clearly down leaving the green on the right side you can't blame me if he's just a little bit nervous out there he's been filling in for a real fine offensive tackle and Leyland green has been growing but they miss Eric walk so when knee injury the end of September Cleveland grain has stepped in there and started ever since he's a good athlete he has quit feeding on the Miami basketball team on the offseason every team has a little basketball team that goes around he's their high point man he averages near 30 points again but does he have a left-handed hook third down and 12 the ball at the 48 yard Gooper ride late and left good pass protection and almost picked off by Kirk Springs the intended receiver has slipped and fallen it was Matt Moore who was wide open that he slipped and was unable to get to the ball that will bring up fourth down and Reggie Roby will bring out his Bigfoot to work against that wind it just has got to be happy with number 21 Curt springs denied he seemed to be everywhere the legs on Reggie rob6 3 235 pounds he drops the ball really high reminds me of years ago a putter for the Cleveland Browns named Horace Gilliam used to drop it in the two-step hunter to break dirt springs balls for the fair catch execute at the 12 yard line you just continue to lead the Dolphins 10 to 7 951 remaining in the first half in a game the Dolphins desperately wants to win they want the home field when an alkaline battery goes dead you throw it away and buy a new this is a GE rechargeable when it goes dead you recharge it it costs more than batteries you throw away but lasts up to four years use 10 hours a week this toy would use over 300 long life batteries - just to GE rechargeables so if you're still throwing away batteries you're throwing away a lot of money a little confusion can be fun but not when you're looking at long distance phone companies because all companies aren't the same you have to watch out for the unexpected the operator service and no service for many small towns different levels of transmission quality and no immediate credit for wrong numbers only one company comes with no surprises AT&T the more you hear the better we sell [Music] the Miami Dolphins have clinched the AFC East they are 11 M one of course Denver is 11 and 2 in Seattle is 11 into the Marino's a wind an item they control the playoff picture that they can win the remaining games on first down Freeman McNeil goes out over the 15-yard line again a four will be second in six we're going to pause five seconds and allow our stations to identify themselves Eyewitness News follows the game here on wabc-tv New York couple of fine defensive players on your left is Mark Gastineau and of course sto pleco on the right coming back from a serious knee injury a year ago has been moved out to defensive end for tonight's play that's where he performed with six years for the Jets mrs. Freeman McNeal second down cow and the deal when I look worse down out near the 24 yard line those of you who might have just joined us the chef's got on the scoreboard first tonight Kiner Bryant 28 yard touchdown pass to Freeman McNeal Dan Marino answered that early in the second quarter five yard touchdown pass to Mark Clayton it was Marino's 33rd touchdown pass of the season platelets 12th reception for a touchdown there he is right there young second-year man and Pat Leahy has put the Jets back in front with a 30-yard field goal they lead 10 to 7 first down at 10 [Applause] hammered by Bowser we'll lose a yard [Applause] a string that one out didn't name well he see he was running away from some pursuit unfortunately didn't pick up a block outside and it's not much you can do when there's old conditions the turn up put your hip down and take your look that's it let me have a yard and go back to the huddle greatly McNeal now is taken over the lead in rushing in the AFC replacing Ernest Jackson of the San Diego Chargers came in with nail 972 976 yards he's missed a lot of action ribbon Green doing a fine blocking job for Freeman genteel and he'll have another first down out of the 35 yard line he had some help did he you see a great job they're running to the right with big Marvin pile and Dan Alexander and first Mickey Shula fine blocking tight in and he's got nothing but room and under this situation you can you can run for six yard average which he's doing thus far this game it is amazing Frank that is just taken over the AFC lead when you consider he has missed two and a half football games because of those we have injuries first down at 10:35 yard-line Mikael already 754 remaining in the second quarter you're crushing that is that [Applause] yeah Vicky Schuler and I can't handle that's unreal that's too now the Mickey Schuler usually a sure handed receiver has been unable to handle and lam Joe's dropped one in the end zone could it be the ball he's throwing Oh Donna I know buddy receivers from Miami say that Marino's ball is an easy ball to catch I think that's so much psychological stuff involved with that stuff is the balls there catch it you know I mean they've asked you it was the left any faster is it harder to catch cause the spins a little bit different the only thing would be the speed so some guys have a way of drilling a real short fast too hard O'Brien's last four attempts have been incomplete not useful cédric mentor rookie created out of Boise State who came down from Canada and just came off the injured reserve tonight I remind you at halftime Jim Lampley is here in the Orange Bowl with us we'll be looking at some of the action from yesterday winter picked up three yards it'll be third down and seven Jeff's on top ten to seven o'clock movie host to seven minutes remaining here in the second quarter quick third down for the jet they've been the game for time off lesson thus far and even if they don't score on this Drive they would love to get a keep their defense off the field and Jones loads it up on the right side this time the pressure the first time on a Brian and it is done betters getting help from AJ to a loss of 8 on the first sack think that was caused as much by good defensive coverage in the second there is anything else it looked like one of the jet receivers either slipped or bumped into somebody too slow and opening up well we may have seen something about ken O'Brien on that play - he had a little room to his left and he wasn't able to buy much time so that's something we should look for cramsey to punt you're looking at Fulton Walker injured the year with a broken thumb now back at full speed for the Dolphins excellent we turned down [Applause] Walker the Bearcats with the 26 yard line what's all Barca 628 the Jeff's meeting by 3 we'll be back at the Orange Bowl in just a moment [Music] what are you hurting the most Jimmy [Music] there's straighten up now we don't want to spoil your family [Music] but best never comes easy bring out that's why there's nothing else like it hey you had him right from the gate your best deserves the best but lights light beer with the first name taste right from inside the huddle learn what it takes to throw the perfect pass watch twenty20 Thursday one of our many fine cameramen Tommy O'Connell has a new little daughter and his family Nancy giving birth to Aaron Elizabeth then well you give up a lot of things I get Tommy way to go smell up a lot of things to cover Monday Night Football that first right at the end of our game last week Pittsburgh in New Orleans we wish them all well first down at 10:00 with the football around 26 yard line they're down Tim 7:20 Nathan single setback how's the first down out of the close to the 42 and Tony Nathan not spectacular but he does everything so well they does he does a real good job of running the ball inside now this is a play that some backs in the league you'd have seen them maybe 20 30 yards further downfield but Tony does a good job of finding the hole first and his way they should have been been exploding instead of slowing down and one thing about it when you hesitate as you say he who hesitate I love Nathan in the morning receptions over 400 35 yards rushing so he has provided a lot of offense another first down so a good example of how will he runs inside on that play party he's quit jetsons running I mean that Dolphins run a lot of these trap plays that they like to run in the in flush right there that was an influence right and they aren't pursue as they do so well usually they worked something like that on Gastineau but they pulled off to the left guard it came right back into the vacant spot Marty Lyons had gone with him the defensive tackle nice play almost impossible not to go with that guard you right in front of him and you're gonna take a move and try to follow him I've always liked those kind of lay they don't work the back I come back and talk to you but I'm gonna tell you that bit I don't like that back dozen they don't want to run there we used to like to do that against Bob Lilley I didn't like to do it but I think the work against Lille in his early years and then he caught on to it yeah he ate up a lot of backs stay here you're gonna run the ball this hole right at this tackle he's gonna block the tackle nobody because the gardens gonna pull and he should go with the guard well what if you don't go with the guard they don't ask so many questions redhot numbers the Dan Marino you saw six of 11 he's on first and ten the jet territory at the 47 Bruce Hardy gain of about four is all it is such a good job of protecting with oh my gosh she just has got lots of room lots of time he's so confident back there he's had such a great two years and nothing doing it like doing it when you keep doing it then you just feel more let's do it some more well I'm there tonight he was over 3,600 yards and threatening the all-time single-season record of Dan Fouts who racked up four thousand eight hundred and two yards over a thousand short of that mark one second and six [Applause] is seventh sack of the season Down Goes Moreno and getting to Moreno the Jets Mary Bennett Mary Bennett berry got to him once before when they blade berry got one time in mark got one so well if they gonna get that Rickard on they're gonna have to protect him a little better than this cuz they got now the heavy sack for a team what he was looking for is Dan Johnson who was all wide open running across the field number 87 but unfortunately or fortunately for the Jets they got a guy named Bennett who got there first there's about five seconds so the line did a good job this 3:30 in the clock is moving remaining in the half his third down 13 ball at the 49 yard line of the Dolphins shotgun two men on gas Marina is Clayton Clayton comes down with the first down brilliantly thrown pass by Marino he zipped it in there between defenders Clayton had run a good pattern he was wide open the only way you can stop this miami passing game is you're gonna have to keep pleating in and goober at the line of scrimmage as you can see if you give them that much room you can't stop them one of the reasons Don Shula's had a history of having smallish wide receivers Luke nifty guys like twilly and Marlin Briscoe and these two guys are only five nine Clayton and duper is because it's tough to keep them on the line of scrimmage because it's so quick [Applause] [Music] she has the one touchdown first down and ten it's inside the 20-yard line of the Darrel ray gain of almost seven Joe Carter came into the game as we mentioned earlier with a 5.5 average in please and this game he must be averaging near ten yards at Karia sort of reminds me of Mike Garrett a little bit then good quickness yeah that's the time remaining in the half as we head down close to the two-minute warning both teams have three timeouts remaining fine football game played very well in the part of both games the Jets surprisingly able to move the ball on defense in their defense battered as it is and the secondary has played well two minutes remaining in the first half we'll be back to the Orange Bowl in a moment you thinking what I'm thinking meep Nissan's hottest truck the best-selling kink in re-engineered 485 to hitch a tough smooth

had the distinctively clean crisp taste only Budweiser can offer quality taste because this buds [Music] one of them very memorable Super Bowl three Joe Namath said we will beat the New York Jets came out and promptly did so now there was just almost 15 years ago they beat the Baltimore Colts that was a big upset ones Baltimore and of course coaching Baltimore at the time Don Shula we're gonna go to the Superbowl what they've never had one we're gonna go to Palo Alto I came down and three Miami two minutes remaining in the first half trailing ten to seven they have the ball at the 20-yard line of the Jets trying to get it to the tight end dan Johnson is incomplete we'll bring up third down and three that ball been around the numbers I think that would have been a touchdown he had good position on the defensive back it's strange because most of the Jets defensive secondary men were playing in the middle name left Clayton one-on-one and they pretty much had duper one-on-one just the end of it if he got it up and front you're right down called it Curt Springs head him to the outside but he had good position blocked him off to the inside his drive started at the 26 yard line of the Dolphins this is the eighth play of the drive and Don Shula you know he really gets into a football game but he is really exercised here tonight the Jets had a mix-up on defense that time Frank and you can see them waving to the bench back and forth so they had to call timeout and didn't have the right kind of guys in there well the Jets use one of their timeouts 154 remaining on the clock the Dolphins have three timeouts remaining it'll be third and three when we come back DP Jim Peck 50 professional exercises at home DP fit for light [Music] DP the bones you lease from AT&T have to earn

phone center or just call toll-free AT&T o worried about the hang-ups so you won't have to AT&T consumer sales and service pacing the sidelines more nervous tonight then he ordinarily is the does get into the game isn't unlike the Tom Landry's very emotional on the sidelines I think mainly because of this defense Frank way they clean in recent weeks they can't go to the Super Bowl playing run defense that they have past events in the last two weeks third down and three Marino single setback pulling another receiver however [Applause] and Nathan dis Bulls inside the 5 & 4 yard line will be first down goal to go and that is a xiulet play you know that he picked up in frequency at Nathan flip over on the left side he came all the way around Marino no one was there and he had right Stevenson 57 out in front with a good block I would have said that they were trying to take advantage of Jackson no eagerness getting over there but it seems as if a linebacker should have been there Don Jetta big puddle would normally be there but he's not playing it rusty he'll go over there and they've been picking on this side of the field all night I think you took advantage of that defense where they didn't have any linebackers in there that time the big dude is an Pete Johnson former Cincinnati great traded to San Diego and Kane he weighs close to 250 number 46 the Marino rolls out [Applause] Moreno took a tremendous risk tried to get it to Dan Johnson and that one could have been picked off very easily that was definitely jump ball and the few wheel it bypasses i've seen from marino if I didn't think I didn't know that Schuler calls the plays I might even accuse Marino get the touchdown record here first down it going to five and Pete Johnson there I'm going to run a little bit before I start throwing a bow he has three jets around there that ball could very easily better separate second down goal to go at the 4 yard line now Tony Nathan joins woody Bennett the two setbacks he Johnson out of the lineup they're not really in close enough to where they like to use Hugh Johnson [Applause] he's hammered back he'll get close to the one-yard line so woody fumble twice last week against San Diego with that something he doesn't do very well they can only fumble one time with over 100 carries coming into that game a critical fumble early in that game that was Darrell ray one of those questionable starting defense Emacs tonight so many of them injured his load out there that's in number 28 now once again I was Kurt's bring number twenty one that came underneath him made a super play on and their array was right there with me now you got beat Johnson in there his third down goal to go the ball just inside the two yard [Applause] [Music] Oldham short mind offensive play that was John would ring [Applause] it'll be fourth down [Applause] a yard short he's thinking about it is yes he is I was watching the Jets sideline and Darrell ran so many guys are celebrating but the plan against Don Shula he's saying go for it and meanwhile the 30-second clock has ticked down to 14 seconds the indisposition forces the timeout but the pony 21 seconds remaining you want to be certain of a fourth down Gold ago at the one-yard line the Jets lead 10 to 7 we'll be back in just a moment it's a RadioShack Merry Christmas the kids love these space patrol

upset minded Vikings live at 9:00 Eastern on ABC the decision has been made 21 seconds remaining in the half the Miami Dolphins have a fourth down goal to go of the ball just at the one-yard line Don Shula had Dan Marino on the sidelines in the game now Pete Johnson he is the short yardage specialist with nine touchdowns as interesting to see where Don Shula thinks the weakness might be in this jet defense and this plane see where he goes number 46 black [Music] with a party the play-action didn't hold the Jets it was a good effort by Dan Marino getting the ball the hardy who had to reach for it he comes down with it and Miami will take a lead into the locker room at halftime that's the play-action if this thing called not much of a fake there but most of those line back to the key Akita on the running back though they wouldn't be looking at the quarterback much anyway dabble in Mullen the quarterback number 20 was in between a rock and a hard spot had he not come up then Marino could have walked into the end zone when he did come up it opened up Bruce Hardy six points Miami they have the lead for the first time tonight now had he come up a little quicker Moreno might not able to get rid of that ball Vonn shaman through the uprights and the dolphin take the lead 14 to 10 look at these defensive backs they're going to be running running torch to running back so the fake work once again as you said Frank if Mullen would have had made a decision to come full steam mark drop-off he may have been able to prevent the TD so the decision made on Shula pays off we'll be back after this message from the National Football League he's freamon McNeil of the New York church when he was only seven he lost his father that's why he knows how these boys who have lost their fathers

America's pride in Liberty you know yeah just for you that distinctively clean crisp taste that says Budweiser for you the Jets on that kick by Vaughn shaman have good field position Tony Paige was right there covered up to 35 yard line keep in mind however they only have nine seconds remaining but they have a pretty good field goal kicker who has already hit the this season in fact Lahey whatever you do you see oil I guess they're gonna flinch Street why I don't know 40-yard line the gain of about seven and the final two seconds I don't understand that's the end of the first half and the Dolphins who trail for most of the first half lead the field leading 14 to 10 over the Jets stick around for highlights kitchen lamp [Applause] [Music] I thought that no one cared about the things

tonight's halftime is being brought to you by computer lab with over 700 stores worldwide bringing business and computers together halftime on a breezy and beautiful night in the Orange Bowl the Dolphins have been challenged face to face but now leave the Jets by 4 points and we're ready for highlights three weeks remain in the regular season four teams Miami San Francisco Chicago and Denver are in the playoffs 15 others are still in the fight including Seattle which will be in if they win or if New England loses this coming Sunday and as you watch the highlights of yesterday's Seattle Denver game a terrific game you might ponder this number 80 for the Seahawks Steve Largent began his career in the uniform of the Houston Oilers and may end it in the Hall of Fame later in halftime you'll see another receiver who shares the same distinction in Mile High Stadium the Broncos put their 10 game winning streak in their one game lead in the AFC West on the line against the Seahawks Seattle controlled the game from this the first play from scrimmage Craig looking down the sideline to the Michigan State rookie Darryl Turner Turner would make a spectacular grab and go 80 yards for the touchdown that puts the adil on top seven nothing as you will see later Turner's big cats also set up a big day for the other Seattle wideout Steve Largent slow half on offense for Denver in the first half but with 453 remaining before halftime Elway was able to throw this 19 yard touchdown pass to Butch Johnson which ties things up at 10 10 but Seattle wood untied in the 3rd period as Steve Largent was on his way to the most productive day of his nine-year career this pass over the middle to larger went for 65 yards total and set up the touchdown that made it 1710 CF he differences in the ball game Seattle with the ball control passing attack kept the football for 38 minutes Denver had no pass run and no third down conversions in the nevertheless Elway was able to get the Broncos in the position to tie the game with 39 seconds remaining when barefoot kicker rich Carla hits the right upright from 25 yards out it wounds up 27:24 Seattle rematch in CF December 15 yesterday in the Louisiana Superdome the 49ers clinched the title in the NFC West then tuned up for the playoff Joe Montana got off to a slow start missed his first seven passes but was patient as Wendell Tyler picks up the slack on the ground this touchdown pass from Montana to Freddy Salomon in the third period made it 21 to 3 49ers and the San Francisco defense would get it first touchdown of the year an interception return of 53 yards by rookie linebacker Todd shell out of Brigham Young one of the 7 interchangeable linebackers who have been the key to the 49er defense this year yesterday eight sacks for San Francisco two of them by shell two of them by Fred Dean prompting Richard Todd to suggest that San Francisco not Miami is the best team in the NFL prior to this year the Minnesota Vikings had owned the Chicago Bears but now the Bears have beaten the Viking twice on their way to their first division title since 1963 another flawless game for pickup quarterback Steve fuller this 30 yard touchdown to will Eagle made it 7-3 first period as the Bears were on their way to a route singleterry led the defense with 11 and a half tackle Peyton with his eight games this year over 100 yards you will see the Bears next Monday night okay Dennis you know you need a computer but you don't know where to go for help right right really you want a store that gives you a choice right one that

much more than it bargained for Hardcastle and mcCormick then no one has ever escaped from how to dress no one was until twenty-foot escaped from Alcatraz all starting at 8:00 7:00 central Sunday there were several significant milestones in yesterday's play among them Joe Theismann broke a career passing record that had been held by Sonny Jurgensen John Riggins move past Don Hutson into third place on the career touchdown list for the league some of the record breaking has been facilitated by the switch in 1978 from 14 to 16 games as will Eric Bickersons new single-season rushing record if he is able to surpass OJ Simpson's magic number of 2003 we're going to look at Dickerson now and after him Charlie Joyner who like Steve Largent began his career as a Houston oiler and like large it may end it in the hole la is one point victory over Tampa Bay was ultimately decided by here early block of an extra point kick but the focus was on Eric Dickerson 124 of those 191 yards came in the fourth quarter this 51 yarder his longest run of the day Dickerson needs to average 124 yards a game over the last three to break in 16 games the NFL rushing record OJ Simpson set in 14 games back in 1973 and meanwhile Charlie Joyner and Yan spinner ood are the only two surviving original AFL players in the NFL holds a lot of kicking record so it's fitting that yesterday Joyner broke Charlie Taylor's career receiving record with this catch one of six he had on the day the Steelers were routing the San Diego Chargers 52 to 24 Joyner quite typically was somewhat upset that he had not broken the career receiving record in a victorious effort for his ballclub [Music] this is the Apple to see personal computer small as it is it can coordinate all the systems of a 50-story building now

of the new Apple to see a serious computer of incredible proportions taps I'm in the Orange Bowl dolphins leading Jets 1410 more football very shortly but first more highlights in the National Football Conference division title of San Francisco and Chicago are in the playoffs five teams the Giants the Cardinals the Redskins the Cowboys and the Rams fighting for the remaining three spot important to remember this about all five each controls its destiny any of the five which wins its three remaining games is in the playoff and we're going to take a look now at Washington the team which has made it into the last two Super Bowls and is still in playoff contention this year despite the longest injury list in the NFL before yesterday the Giants hadn't come from as many as two touchdowns down to win in the second half since 1972 so when Bill Kenny hit Carlos Carson for this 34 yard touchdown with 918 to go and put the Chiefs on top 27 to 14 it looked as though New York was about to drop out of the first place tie in the NFC East but Bill Simms came back with a touchdown pass to Bobby Johnson then with just over two minutes to go this game winner to tight end Zeke MOA for year the Giants have been searching for a competent tight in last year they drafted too ahead of Mowatt signed him as a free agent he has solved the problem the Washington Redskins had to go most of the day yesterday without John Riggins who didn't play after the first scoring drive but rookie Heath Griffin fills the gap on the ground and Joe Theismann had a terrific day in the air Charlie Brown was back after eight weeks out with a fractured ankle he caught this touchdown pass that made it 24 nothing Washington in the second period and with brown back in the lineup Art Monk will be even harder to stop on the other side as he demonstrated yesterday with 11 catches you'll see the skins Thursday night against the bikes in Minnesota Jews paper dolls at its new time 10:00 9:00

Orange Bowl a first down I'll be working against the wind thus far in the first half Dan Marino was 10 of 17 for 109 yards two touchdowns he now has 34 on the season he is two away from tying the record white tittle and George plan two touchdown passes in a single season his three away from a new NFL record the youngster came up 27th pick a year ago has had a remarkable career already took over a year ago in the fourth game and it has been downhill on first down Marino with a quick-release caboose harder first down on the first play a 17-yard pickup just a little confused on that live you'll look at 87 and 84 84 is Hardy any 7s Johnson they're both tight ends and they did a little crisscross on one another but that was so pretty he had that ball up as soon as party uncovered he was there 37 yard-line party now five receptions on the night as Moreno has worked well to the tight ends [Music] [Applause] [Applause] Cooper first down out of the 47 yard line we saw a little bit of this right before they into the first habit in Miami was getting there off that son track a little bit but for these first two plays he is zipping that ball duper this makes a little move to the outside you see right beyond that first down marker get those feet down and go out of bounds with another first step ball was practically caught for head really well reception of a night mark duper first down at the 47 yard line step back this has been again we put on a face mask another dolphin first down on the gain of 19 yards 17-yard pickup 11-yard pickup and now 19 well you can blame mark Gasson though of you if you will I think you're wrong we see the call there definite face mask rush to kill Boyd you see number number 94 watch him now his job is to stop the run out there and you'll see him way out here getting nailed by Cleveland green the officials missed that one and there Darrel ray getting the hand in the first down now at the 28 yard line the Dolphins 11 and 1 on the season they prints the ASE Eastern Division but they know if they win tonight they win against the Raiders next week then Indianapolis in the Cowboys they will be in the playoffs as long as they last right through the AFC Championship game that's what they weren't they play better here at and I can sound Clayton man [Applause] we're a mixed up at about the 10-yard line and the flag drops well you saw something happened on that play that Mark Clayton and Mark Cooper will do as well as any receiver in football they can adjust to the ball he didn't catch the ball but he made a nice adjustment to the ball he knew where he was he realized the only way you can keep him catching this ball of this mullen interfere with him and that's exactly what Mullen did it was pushing with that left hand they were right on top of it the first time will be at the 7 yard line first down goal to go it's amazing these kids have been in the league just 2 years and they run such to cite patterns that catch the ball well and they can adjust to the ball and they're noted as speed receivers they've also got a nice they've always learned how to fake that you see him falling back and as I am totally out of control because I've been violated well I think he was going to catch the ball if he wasn't pushed it's a failing that Don Shula if you were [Applause] [Music] touchdown pass number 35 for the season for Dan Marino we mention at the top of the show tonight might well be the night that he goes into the record book as the man who has competed for touchdown pass in the season Road season than any other player a little banana route to the outside but look at that ball just as he makes his turn that right to here who tried that he can throw the ball yeah that's fun they didn't waste much time did they a Marino now worn away from the record of ye tittle and George Blanda why a setting his mark in 63 with the jab he'll walk the coach of the Jets bought several of those of course George Blanda did it for 61 with Houston shaman and that often leads is extended a little muggy here tonight and Dan Marino who just executed brilliantly that long drive the EDR touchdown drive gets to the L'Occitane he's something different Nissan 300zx - oh you know the car but do you know what is like to drive it [Applause] now you know once you get inside a Zia see you will get inside of you [Music] it's your Datsun dealer no one could ever deny you run your way to the top [Music] you're going [Music] where you're going it's exceptionally smooth Niccolo Bolton water of the Miami Dolphin ran 90 yards which was the last touchdown on a kickoff return in a Monday night football game was against Buffalo on October 12 1981 [Music] that's what we've been talking about damn burrito now the third-best touchdown passes for a single season set to kick off on shaman deeper Kurt sprays [Music] back into it the Dolphins they like to think that a representative dolphin their first drive here comes Mullin Gullit with a good move at the 20 gets out close to the 25-yard line and it'll be the first possession for the Jets in Kenna Bryan will once again open the quarterback remind your special lights coming for you Thursday night will be with the Washington Redskins at Minnesota and then one week from tonight we'll watch Walter Payton the Chicago Bears will against the San Diego Chargers out in San Diego and then this is a thought two weeks from tonight we'll be up in Pontiac Michigan the Raiders will be there for Detroit will start telling you earlier it's going to be an 8 o'clock Eastern time for that game coming up here on ABC 1st down and 10 at the 25-yard line the Jets McNiel getting out to out the 29-yard line a gain of four it'll be second down and six McNeil needed 18 yards opening this half to replace John Riggins as the top rusher in jet history for a single season he now needs 14 for that mark scoring drive started at the 20 remember following the touch back and then there was a pass interference penalty will carried it down inside the 10 and a facemask fairly that you see two penalties there didn't take him long look at it and in 13 seconds second down and six [Applause] to about the 33 yard line short of the first down by a couple it'll be third down and two well the Jets offense is played a super first half and they have to be they just have to ignore what is happening to the defense right now and get back to what they were doing in the first half and that's controlling the ball and unfortunately they had one drop pass in the end zone they would still be very much in this ball game but if they can score a touchdown on this Drive and more importantly get the first down now to keep your defensive team off the field they can stay in this football game third down and two [Applause] that retainer hit hard by Mark Brown it would be dependent on where they mark the ball is going to be very close I think he's got it at they give him the first down on the yard stripe itself he is over the 35 yard line and the first down markers you can see just inches beyond so its first down jets to keep the drive alive [Applause] good defensive play by Pierzynski in mark brown that time we should look at Mark Gastineau you know the remarkable thing he didn't even get a chance to work out the four foot first four weeks of the season and to show you what kind of an athlete he is he was of course too embroiled in a legal proceeding involving an incident of studio 54 in New York where he was charged with misdemeanor assault which he was convicted on Oh Brian yeah pitch one out to Bobbie Humphrey and that's very close to another dead first town right in front of William Jetson on the double Gastineau tied up in those court hearings without habit as me to work out with his team nor to this man ken O'Brien who was acquitted of those same charges and Gaston doe part of his sentences who provide 90 hours of community service in the New York area [Applause] I think it didn't god of mark mutchirughi think it said o'brien back a little bit Frank he couldn't work at all another 46 yard line for the Jets in the top and territory to the 49 yard line the arms of Charles Hauser they seem to stick with a game plan that they started with uh-huh when you got a back like this you saw him get trapped in there he just pop this changed his position on the football fields like a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof just jumped outside and picked up another 5-yard unofficially Freeman McNeil is now tied to Jeff's all-time season record for rushing single-season that set by John Riggins at a thousand and five yards back in 1975 he's 93 yards of the night suck it down and to inside the 46-yard line of the dolphin 21 to 10 O'Brien he dropped various a lot of time plan hey he gets it in to Rocky clever and the youngster from Montana with a 15 yard pickup provides the Jets with another first down not taking anything away from prema McNeil frankly you know how I'm into statistics and things like that but the record he broke happens to be the lowest of any team in the National Football League for a team record of rushing was a thousand five yards in one season John's went on to exceed that of course with the Washington Redskins but that was the standard and still is right now McNeil tied with John Riggins Pinsky he might have got a yard out of it and it's sort of a historic yard he does because that would be a new jet record for a single season they're giving me yard is second down and nine and Raymond McNeil has unofficially broken the record the jet single-season rushing record set by John Reagan's in 75 it's interesting that you mentioned this is not that impressive of a record but if you look at many of the records by the Dolphins the 13 touchdowns for a season for instance they're not too impressive it's a testament to the fact that the Dolphins are our key football team mark Clayton look at O'Brien let's his arm but he gets it out to the field [Applause] bringing McNeal showing you brilliant money he'll have another jet first down getting close to the five-yard line he's slow getting up we have told you he's missed two and a half games is here already with rib cartilage damage and he is putting on a show tonight you'll see him do something here that if the great backs are able to do when it appears as if they're going all out they still have one other move it can hop and change their position on the football field you see it coming up right there see how he just hopped by the guy looked like he was going all out he was able to skip right by the guy and accelerate and get down to the 5-yard line the showers they predicted are falling they should be brief no cream in the game William Jetson down put to the 5-yard line earthbound goal to go cédric Minard supremo Macmillan Oh camper really popped him along with Mark Brown there's a loss of about a yard on that Lake we mention in the first half replacing an injured Ernie row when here on out of tonight's game with a patient nerve in the neck miss McNeil I'm sure he's a little tired and you're nursing those uh those ribs you normally carry on some paths that he would normally carry most backs the great ones go where a lot they want to feel the defensive players recent form and he's carrying a little extra weight with that protection to go dinner hit hard like wind Blackwood but he still moves toward close to the one yard behind where it will be third down goal to go the third quarter and the Dolphins lead 21:10 I don't think we have to worry too much about a decision if they don't get it on third down because then when you're six and six and you're down by 11 points I think they're pretty much you gotta go but you have to go clear out of four down zone with a foreground zone mathematically of course it gets still alive but it would take a lot of happening perhaps even an earthquake to get the men [Music] Tony page and a rookie from Virginia Tech gets it into the end the Jets are not giving up tonight they're playing a solid football game they have been totally decimated defensively in their secondary by injuries and if they are staying right in it with the Miami Dolphins a 510 230 pounds Tony page with lightweight Don Nottingham they're pretty tough to the tackle when he gets the rolling start going then sixth round draft pick out of Virginia Tech the touchdown for the Jets and Lahey is on for the conversion lady puts it through the uprights and the needed once again down to three points the dolphin all of the debts halfway through the third quarter we'll be back in the Orange Bowl in a moment IBM presents you make the call you green of Tampa Bay heads for the quarter and crosses the goal line with his feet inside the pileup while holding the ball above the pylon now you make the call is this a touchdown some people think the IBM PC jr. runs only about this much software the truth is PC jr. runs over a thousand of the best most up-to-date programs including powerful new cartridge programs like Lotus 1-2-3 and with PC juniors new memory expansion attachment it can run well over a thousand more programs PC junior from IBM the computer that's growing by leaps and bounds what call did you make the pylon is considered out of bounds and if the ball does not break the plane of the goal line inside the pylon it is not a touchdown and exciting cf a doubleheader burst at 12 Eastern number 11 Auburn guns first Sugar Bowl berth against Alabama then 3rd ranked Florida tackles number 12 Florida State Saturday on ABC Tony page the rookie from Virginia Tech took it in from one yard out big man Tim 230-pound and they drafted in the sixth round looking for a blocking skill he's gonna he touchdown to within four blade kicks away Fulton Walker is deep and once again with that prevailing wind there will be no return [Music] we were not told that go camper was injured he obviously was let's pop on our both camper we saw them early working on his shoulder but this is bob bahmer he came in tonight with a very sore knee and now he has a rap on his ankle really be heard if they lose bob bahmer are one of the fine nose tackles in football pro bowler as you can see we'll try and get more information for you when we return to the Orange Bowl in Miami introducing more truck for 85 to $59.99 Nissan more payload

until Plenty's would escape from alcatraz someday Andrews continued to haunt the Jets that Senator Joe feels an ice pack on his right knee is the anchor of that offensive line for the Jets Miami first down attend the ball at their own 20-yard line both off first possession here in the second half had been able to generate touchdowns the Dolphins Quintin 80 yards - jessalyn 75 yards slides out close to the 25-yard line a gain of four will be second six and we're going to pause five seconds allow our stations all around the nation identify themselves Eyewitness News follows the game here on wabc-tv New York back in the Orange Bowl in Miami the Jets led off the score tonight with the 7 to nothing lead Marino came right back to tie it up with 7 a touchdown shot to Mark Clayton pat leahy had a just field goal to make it 10-7 in the Dolphins answered with a 14-10 lead and then they came into halftime 21:10 the Jessica came back at the mouth touchdown as half the Dolphins and right now it is 21 17 the Dolphins over the Jets that's Mark Clayton and Moreno was a hot hand after the first quarter tonight mark Layton has caught his 13th touchdown pass that's a new dolphin record already tonight watch Clayton here he'll do something that he may do as well as any receiver in the game actually after he catches the ball he is so dangerous some like goober who can run by you and catch it these he's a bigger threat when he catches the ball in front of you Clayton because he has all the moves to run by if he has the ball 39 yard line first down and 10 the Dolphins and Woody Bennett slides through a small opening gets out of the 45 to the 46 gain of almost seven on that it appears second down and three it appears that each of these offensive units have kind of figured out some of the weak spots on the defenses tonight does it and I think that's one of the big concerns with Don Shula tonight is not his office he knows he can score some points but their inability to mount a pass rush because in the playoffs he's gonna have to be able to put some pressure on the opposing quarterback second down [Applause] what he Bennett again Dennett stays on his feet to the 40-yard line fifteen yard pickup rings makes the stop and tempers are flaring over the sidelines I think Russell Carter just made a huge mistake cooler heads are prevailing cleveland green the offensive tackle in there soothing ruffled feathers if we take a look at the rung typical miami run all the linemen hit their men and get position on them they hold their position blockers big hole over there actually they got they got blanco outside and they were able to give it the big run I think Russell as you mentioned earlier number 27 made a big mistake because he got the best of the exchange with duper well we didn't hear they had called but he got the best of the exchange with Dupree knocked him down but after he knocked him down he walked up and hit him as you can see Mullen there he has some back problems about the only healthy defensive back to Jeff's hat coming into the night and they are working on davon Mullen they lost three against the Dolphins three weeks ago Johnny Russ partner they're trying to play tonight all three of them they lost Bobby Jackson earlier this they get the first down at the 40 yard marina get that ball off the Woody Bennett right in front of his face was a hard-charging Joe Klecko nice job of reading downfield thing that was covered and then immediately going just instinctively knowing where he's kind of check off man was that time there was a gain of six that we second down and four and Morita was looking right into Joe Klecko going that ball almost sidearm off-balance was able to get it there he does things Don you shouldn't be able to do he does things did you just you're right he does some things I've never seen how the people do but particularly for a second-year guy Jose Blanca close man [Applause] a little reverse and party will have another first down inside the 25 Bobby Bell rookie from Missouri the some of the Great Hall of Famer Bobby Bell who played so many great years with Kansas City in there defensively for the Jets Marty Lyons had an opportunity to make a big plate hitting him behind the line of scrimmage but didn't wrap his arms around it and he was able to break loose the rain is falling it continues to fall and now rather heavily in the crowd starting to put up a lot of umbrellas some of them even moving into the tunnel leading in [Applause] eight point seven yards for us [Applause] does not have the receiver yes they got those feet down we perhaps can see it from the reverse angle we could not see it here because of the crowd of bouncing players look at Danny said hey you know what he went out of bounds it came back in that's yeah I was gonna say where's Curt Springs number 21 going and be kicked is out of bounds it doesn't matter so it'll run out of bounds trying to cover the guy he indeed did step out of bounds and it has not have been allowed to come back in for the reception but they have marked it at the 13 yard line first down and 10 Miami this youngster is really something he came up a year ago the Natron draft pick out of Louisville he only caught six balls a year ago coming into the night he had caught 46 passes averaging just under 19 yards he caught his 12th touchdown pass tonight that ties that Moore's record from 77 he's caught five more tonight for 68 yards and that one touchdown he's a great receiver and he has benefited from mark Cooper's fast start mark Cooper had six touchdowns in the first four games of the season so what defenses has done they've adjusted to him they double-team him and in the last eight games Cooper only caught one touchdown the stadium plot on the scoreboard is zipping biceps um what they're going to put some more time on it and you can see and play is held up for just a moment I would imagine these two young receivers also benefited from playing with like Matt Moore Oh again wouldn't ya he's been around he's been around for a good long while he say this may be his last season they also same size five foot nine I bet he comes back Fox headed for 21 remaining in the third quarter the Dolphins leading by four over the Jets 21 17 Tony nathan has limped off for the Dolphins [Applause] that picked off little mix-up there that zombie rookie from Missouri one of that desperately Bruce Hardy went out enough and looked like Marino thought he was just going out forgot about the up that was close we'll bring up second down and ten the ball at the 13 yard line and there is a remarkable resemblance between young Bobby Bell and his Hall of Fame father worked with he played a a bet is a good year edition with me Tony Nathan back in the game the work [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] second touchdown of the night and that does that for Marino ties the record of why a tittle George Blanda 36 touchdown passes on the year and he's doing it in the 13th game and so they won't be able to lay that 16 game thing on it that the NFL is pay any attention to it away we had tie the record landed in it in 61 white it'll in 63 Blanda with Houston of course white tittle with the Giants brought up talent it's just so much fun to watch him play he's from what I understand - he's a heck of a nice nice young made of a free spirit this thing well I like to go low-key got Vaughn shaman saw the conversion explosion here in the third quarter neither team of pundits neither team is settled for a field goal the Dolphins get their second 80 yard drive for a touchdown the Jets in their first possession went 75 yards a talent and he has great receivers you can see Bruce Hardy just coming to the inside right there swinging up got away from the laughs out your bell that time potential gives up the touchdown to Bruges Marty for touchdown passes by Dan Marino on the night miss him I've been going three days but it seems like three week I know holidays yours seven Tim's three and so excited he's coming to the airport we'll be right on time tonight it carries over 100,000 travelers a day but in the friendly skies we never forget they're people just like us I'm sure they're more excited and they look to one to radar contact TURN RIGHT heading one five zero with a bond bound helicopter hanging on your every word it doesn't matter whether you're a man or a woman only that you're good Roger over landing threshold [Music] dan Marino is on for four touchdown passes on the night he's 17 of 25 484 yards he started very slowly tonight he has changed all that [Applause] let's see if the jess can answer Terk spring too deep bon-chama puts it up traffic's loading someone and he's male as he moves over the 22 yard line only a 10 yard return and let's take another look at another lengthy scoring drive following the touchback Miami now has twice on 80 yards to score here in the third quarter that was a rather balanced attack that would say run throw run run throw front-row GoPro party with his second touchdown of the night first down and 10 just out over the 22 yard line for the Jets give them credit they stayed in this game injury wracked as they are let's see what they can do now Grima McNeil he's having a big night runs into a J doula in back to do a up for about a five yard pickup well a Jets aren't gonna panic that plane too tight in that pretty much tells the defense we're gonna run at you you better try to stop us and they've gotten what we call positive yardage don't 1st down anything that is five yards some more is you sort of won that little battle on first down a lot of New York Giants are watching these Jets tonight because they will get it on Sunday at the Meadowlands and then the Jets will close the Buffalo and Tampa Bay it looked so good a few weeks ago when they were six and two but they have lost four straight and office Tony page and a big rookie from Virginia Tech moving up close to first down yardage to be a long trip for the Giants next week they got to go all the way across the field they are the visiting team aren't they at the Meadowlands down now bat Tim Giants came back one a good game yesterday speaking of Giants there was a young man I played this he's growing old right in front of her eyes I told it before that game I thought he used to be younger than me he said I was a lot younger with this season started think he felt coming into this season he was going to have the opportunity to quiet his critic from last season but unfortunately they just have a first down unfortunately with all those injuries they take out of the 49 man squad they have 24 classes that have they gave him a day off at 2449 came in for treatment yeah dough fields by the way is in the lineup for the Jets if I failed to mention that we saw him earlier well that ice pack on his knee but he's back out there and really is the leader of that offensive as is black Stevenson for the dolphin both [Applause] in the third quarter the Dolphins leading 2817 Greenland McNeil Penske gain of about a yard will be sucking down to nine once again CFA college football coming your way

Namath on Michelle wonderful gala better the other day she really is right you sure pretty yeah joe is sort of settle down [Music] third down and eight what he said O'Brien a lot of time good coverage on Lam Jones good coverage provided by William Jetson on Lam Jones and we'll see the first punt of this second half but we can talk about the coverage the biggest problem that I'm sure Don Shula is concerned about is he's got absolutely no past rush on the quarterback on this play and he's playing against a team that has given up 18 sacks from the last war game so I think Sheila still has a lot to be concerned with they have a good Catholic golden Macha Bearcats call for the 23 yard line and Miami will have their third possession here in the third quarter and they have scored on the first two touchdown we'll be back in a moment [Applause] [Music] at Whang we make computers that not only enhance individual performance but work in harmony with one another and compatibly with our

it there pops on it it'll be cleared down in four fairly errorless free game has it three turnovers for a few penalties it's fun to watch I like that kind of football mommy dolphins will not get a playoff here in the third quarter as time is running out they leave the New York Jets 28:17 after this word from our local stations Wednesday an international incident exposes the shocking truth about

tonight on Eyewitness News after the Jets game the story of a mother who thought her daughter was dead and buried but was not and the New Yorker raised more than two million dollars in just one night General Hospital's Laura tomorrow 4:30 [Applause] back in the Orange Bowl it seems so many memorable contests over the years so many of them provided by the Miami Dolphin the 29-yard from the shotgun [Music] underneath bars and gets it complete goes out in that more the 11-year veteran MOJ talked about earlier who is really a new life because of the great play of Mark Cooper and Mark Clayton the outside receiver those are the stats that have something we went out he's all through the third quarter and it was an offensive show on the part of both teams but the Dolphins getting the upper hand of it the Jets got one touchdown that often got a pair no turnovers tonight through three quarters of play and very few flags we enjoy it 36 yard line [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Moreno ripples one but it'll be marked incomplete came down with the fall but he was out of bounds can he look around this state even think of all those great games in a strong probability that the Dolphins in 1987 will be playing in a new stadium being privately funded some 12 miles north of here 73,000 seat stadium they have 235 skybox is planned they've already sold a number of those so the financing is pretty well in place under leadership of owner and president Joe Robbie here in Miami [Applause] dolphins are committed through the seasons 85 and 86 it probably will be that they will in 1987 second down at 10 [Applause] Marcus receiver Moreno gave an opportunity but just over his outstretched fingertips just take a look at the AFC picture remember the Dolphins are 11 in one they know with a win tonight and winning their final three games that being the Raiders Indianapolis and the Cowboys they will be in the driver's seat as far as the home-field advantage there you can see the Asterix they have clinched their division the other contenders now the rate is of course still very much alive New England very much alive the Jets mathematically as I mentioned earlier they probably need an earthquake in Cincinnati and Cleveland they are also not totally eliminated you've got the Raiders in the catalyzer probably going to be coming in here there's their hope don't be alive so that's two pretty tough foggy an FC fixture [Applause] thirty-five again speech there Mark Clayton couldn't get their good coverage back there Jeff's got Darrel ray their free safety over there to help out the cornerback it's interesting that Clayton now is Frank seem to be his favorite receiver he hasn't thrown too many passes of Mark Cooper's Wade tonight I think they're still giving mark Cooper probably the bulk of the double coverage we've seen it tonight the tight and Hardy is Reggie Roby and flag slot I love when the players start refereeing that's so much fun they do it so well yeah and I'm biased is that a legal snap by the center hello back them up [Applause] he did he just lifted the ball up to make the staff s Jeff saves the center I bet he thinks what in the world is going on actually Bruce Party on the snap he'd really took a hammering when he lifted that ball up did me that was four nines the Burgess wasn't it so now Reggie Roby will get a chance to perform before the sellout crowd a big second year man out of Iowa he loves to get a chance to three-wheel on it he said that with Fernando Berg is that getting took a shot at him he's the guy while playing for Miami rope jack squirts jaar jaar and the pcs in the text box they've lined back for the Raider he's time I went out of sight for a moment look at oh that's what they're down there there 0b 69-yard club six-round graphic last year and that was a well-spent sixth round pick and tempers are flaring again I tell you this run and the burglar is he took a shot at somebody on that now the Jetson I mean Miami is pretty upset long is fond of Reggie Roby's career and I can attest to the fact that may well be the highest it went right up to the rim it seemingly of the Orange Bowl that is brilliant form isn't it look that follow-through Reggie Roby 69 yards on his career-best the Jets will have the ball at the 20 the styling no one could ever tonight you run your way to the top [Music] where you're going it's exceptionally smooth Niccolo when AT&T wrote the book on quality control a lot of people read it in fact place studied it today some of the most quality conscious companies in the world used the AT&T handbook as a guide the fact that so many companies depend on us for quality means a lot the fact that so many people do please even more AT&T we're reaching out in new directions and exciting CF a doubleheader first at 12 Eastern number 11 Auburn guns first Sugar Bowl berth against Alabama then 3rd ranked Florida tackles number 12 Florida State Saturday on ABC ken O'Brien he was a rookie 24th round draft pick first pick for the Jets a year ago marina was the 27th it has been arrives to stardom for Marino has been struggling for Kenna Bryan making his second start tonight on first and 10 dumps it off to McNeil and McNeil clever running splitting a couple defenders he'll get the first down out over the 30-yard line we can either Ryan really engage for that when he held it a long time a bill Barnett unloaded on him good Marvin Powell limping there bigmar stay down a little bit we got a lot of pride with this offensive unit especially up front Jim regal has a habit of doing that with his offensive line he was in Buffalo as I mentioned earlier earlier when I was there and then he went to New England did an excellent job with that offensive line and I think he's developed a lot of pride with these guys because they they don't want to leave the football field 28:17 we're in the fourth corner [Applause] out of bounds is a 34-yard line again three perhaps four it'll be second down and six William Jefferson was there defensively skinny wide receivers didn't have a difficult time when the traffic comes their way working against Charles Bowser lamb Jones is persistent though is Bowser unfortunately Bowser is 235 and old lamb is only 180 pounds that's a mix mix match second down long six market crema McNeil single setback [Applause] it's a yard out of it it'll bring up third down and five we're young ken O'Brien I know Joe Walton strategy is to control the ball and to run the football but he's down by what is it now 11 points and his offensive line has been doing a super job of detecting Kim O'Brien I'm a little surprised that he's running the ball so much at this point you weren't with us earlier for a new McNeal is broken the Jets single-season rushing horns hit by Riggins in 1975 going over a thousand five with 100 yards Jetts [Applause] Jimbo camper there he had help from his friend Bowser was there 56 and AJ do a well Randall Tom Thomas make that happened he's a linebacker for Miami he stays with mr. was running those I guess was going to be a little quick screen out here he came out with an offensive guard and Randall Thompson came out with them and Keane O'Brien had nowhere to go 16 yard loss and Chuck Ramsey will kick against that stiff breeze Bouldin Walker is at his own 40-yard line the dolphin should get it back in good shape Ramzi not having a good year next to last in the AFC this time he hits a good one [Applause] folder Locker has to make the bear catcher for 35 yards I ran about as much as he could get out of that one the dolphins nevertheless will begin 36 45 yard punt by ransom [Music] introducing the first affordable 4x4 built upper left of E major motion the 1985 Nissan standard

just 10,000 miles of driving on we've neglected antifreeze while a Prestone radiator looks this good that's the Prestone difference what gets them to the ski slopes the Brandon's alone [Music] [Applause] 11:45 remaining in the game from the Orange Bowl in Miami before a capacity crowd the Dolphins meeting the Jets 2817 [Applause] brilliant night [Applause] first down and ten that is a lot [Applause] Cooper is down there deep and has picked off by Devlin Mullen Mellon bringing it back as the first turnover the night head Mullen is run down by the tight end Dan John somebody gets it back to the 35 yard line I think yeah it was a good throw but I think his primary receiver was Dan Johnson Dan was covered and he looked across the field and saw dooper a beauty if we would have seen him a little sooner I think he could have gotten the ball to him because dooper beat his man early she can see he's scrambling around he throws without the end dooper Nidalee has his man be beaten but a great defensive play the Pyrrhus coach that he is Don Shula will always give you a little wrinkle he always has a little something going a reverse he'll add the wide receivers we had just seen throwing the ball he'll bring in Jensen as a flanker let him throw the this time the Jets however gets the first turnover the night first antenna for 35 yard line Freeman McNeil hit by AJ do a he'll get a couple it'll be second down and eight they've been picking on Devlin Mullin earlier he had cramps a little bitty he appear to have some back problem they were working him out over there and he really for a guy who's beaten he's really done a super job of getting up there and getting the ball good heads that play to him because he gets up deeper didn't touch him so he made a nice return after he intercepted the ball second down and eight the Jets they're down by 11 points [Music] Raymond McNeil playing with very sore ribs he did not even work out this weekend on Friday short of the first down by a couple it'll be third down and two watching him run tonight you just have to almost marma let another running back in this league Eric Dickerson now at 1632 yards 191 yards yesterday he needs 371 yards to match Oh Jade record of 2,000 degrees set in 73 it needs to average 124 yards again as Eric Dickerson he's been averaging 100 for the first 12 recently he may break it next week third and short O'Brien the backfield said great commander was picked up by William Jetson who played a fine football game tonight at the corner for the Dolphins it's too bad the Jets it appears as if their receivers don't run many options but passes because he had rocky cleaver going down the middle of the field he had 101 club coverage and if he would have gone to his left or his right right he would have been wide open but I guess they coached these guys that go with a pattern and stay with it and he was covered Jack Ramsey to find a flag is down and off the foot of Ramsey and I mean that got about over the line of scrimmage before it sent it off the foot there's a breaking out once again that's gonna be Fernando and our burgers he's a hitter now as I said he broke Jack squired straw and the preseason he cracked back on him as we wait to hear the call he was a quarterback you know he's a rookie he was with Miami then he was a quarterback at Morris Brown tough aggressive quarterback flag was down at the line of scrimmage we're free Fred Wyatt sorting it out to Lymon area indication against the Jets [Applause] so unlikely to see a pro punter miss one that badly and whether this that's this good personal foul he had an offsides and a personal file indicated I think the personal file came later don't be a 14-yard pickup on that punt if it stands and the options are being provided to Miami and Shula is on the Rules Committee and you can see him coaching the officials a little bit there on the sidelines that's right Don that's our ball right here we want to burst down [Music] as Bigfoot happened we had an offside penalty against the Jets and there was a personal foul that occurred after the play was over that's what it appeared to be the confrontation broke out after the ball that gone out about been marked by official at the 45-yard thought here's red wine is no one's gonna sort this out sooner or later and he's getting a lot of help from his would-be friends off-season friends [Applause] the option valve once again being the defensive captain on the field that offensive captain earlier drive Stevenson he says we want the ball at the 45 well here is Fred why install offside offense number 46 personal foul offense number 46 for the kick refused he was offside he got the personal foul the kick was off the foot of Ramsey 13-yard pickup the Dolphins have it back at their own 44 yard line 1001 remaining in the game I think he was offside Frank because he want to get to somebody to play with these guys and gets cut five team and you're that aggressive guys you don't he doesn't like still has no place in the game quite frankly it doesn't help obviously hurts it will always be there though loans they're hitting each other somebody's going to get mad on 1st and 10 woody Bennett good night counters in the shadow really of the outside receivers and Dan Marino hey well you know what he was a quarterback and then that let me play quarterback he's a rookie as a free agent the only way he's going to make the team is to be aggressive and he voluntarily being aggressive saying earlier today he volunteer to play linebacker for the Jets when he first got ahead of couple of hurt he's not will play woody Bennett is quietly reeled off 75 yards rushing for the tonight [Applause] [Music] Breno Nathan boom Nathan hit right at midfield he gets a couple of yards out of losing third down and five and reminder ABC's Wide World of Sports Saturday December the 8th walk Eastern time from New York City international professional figure skating championships from Madison Square Garden ABC's Wide World of Sports returns December the 8th with the international professional Figure Skating championship from the Garden Wide World of Sports will be seen a 5 o'clock East in the Pacific so don't miss it return a Wide World of Sports a week from Saturday December the 8th third down and five ball resting right up there 8:45 and the clock is moving here in the Orange Bowl is it all - a 12 and 1 we know incomplete and Lance mal one of the fine SAS defenders at linebacker in the league was right there with Dan Rhodes he really good job by Lance mouth he is a fine football player and there's the playoff game against the Raiders a couple of years ago yeah a couple of interceptions late in the game that saved a victory for the Jets let his team in tackle the last three years and he's leading the team in tackles this year second was sacked for the Jets funny he has a hundred and twenty three tackles and he leaves this team and on the other side of the line you're looking at the leader of the that only 55 and that's Bob Brzezinski is reti Roby again looking for the coverage springs has to make the Bearcats car [Applause] but it was extraordinary so the Jets are in the hole again they'll start at their 10-yard line only a 40-yard effort but it really paid off some make greatness look simple like the great Gretzky and canonization of photography the inspiring t17 with the pure agility the complete versatility of touch button control and three distinct program modes now it makes it simpler to handle a shot the inspiring Canon 217 it makes the great shot simple it ain't easy to do rope tricks first time around same goes for smokeless tobacco but here's one that's easier to use Skol long cut now it's not chewing tobacco long cut means that it packs easy stays put between the cheek and gum so slow long cut makes it easy to enjoy the backhoe without lighting up plus it's got the great face that can only come from scope easy to use great taste Casco long cut its lucky in this the New York Jets have battled the Miami Dolphins injury wracked as they are they stayed close in the trail now 28:17 they're running out of time with 821 remaining they have a first and ten the ball just over their ten yard line McNeil outside and he is taken there by Bob radzinsky one of the tough linebackers against the run and to mention that NFC playoff picture probably the simple way to put it is any one of those eight and five teams that can win there are next three games is going to be guaranteed a playoff spot so that's really what they have to be thinking about as I mentioned earlier the Giants next week will host the New York Jets let's take a look at the other contenders Rams of course certainly still alive now with the great player very Dickerson has his st. Louis Philadelphia Green Bay mathematical second down and nine of all just inside the 12 yard line of the Jets making sugar and chillers short of the first down Falls up close to the 18 yard line in the arms of Glenn black wood but Jets earlier in the game had a lot of success throwing the ball you know 10 to 15 yards down field and in the last two drives they have appeared to get somewhat conservative I think they a game plan worked in the fact that they were able to stay in the football game by playing that ball control type offense but I would have I felt that the 10 minutes ago at least the last time they had the ball they should have opened up a little bit third down and three cédric minner here's the set back behind O'Brien they need a first down here O'Brien has all the time he could ask for and he gets to complete out over the Glen Dennis in the rookie from Miami you played collegiate ball right here and he gets the Jets first down on a 20 yard pickup it's kind of fun there's AJ doing it was rightful step behind he was about one step behind him is where he was good quite catch up mentioned earlier that this youngster had a brilliant career performing here in Miami for the national champions a year ago he set a record for receptions tied in receptions of 54 and the Jets are very high on his future 38-yard line is the first down for the Jets remove again O'Brien fires one in there to Lam Jones who I think was going to run with it before he had it tucked away I have the results another drop ball mentioned the problems in the secondary of the Jets they without Wesley Walker tonight quat muscle in his Lake heard a lot about that quad muscle this morning didn't we yeah we did jets have so many players with quad muscles I finally ask you about Gary Gaffney at the end of a little get-together with him this morning and they were almost embarrassed to toes why is he went on IR with the quad muscle [Applause] Bowser is all over O'Brien forcing the Arab bro [Applause] pressure on the youngster making his second start as a jet did not throw a pass in the first seven games of the season had that remarkable career at the University of California Davis passing for nearly 3,000 yards up there as a senior 23 touchdowns only eight interceptions but as da mentioned earlier he was a surprise first-round pick here ago but the Jets were overlooked Dan Marino they took this youngster of with 24th player in the draft and left Dan Marino they took him in the 27th a third and 10 [Music] cédric manner will be part of the first down by about a yard and one would suspect the Jets the 550 in the park moving will go on fourth and one yeah I don't think there's much to discuss here when you're playing against you have down by 11 points and you playing against a Dan Marino and it's five minutes 38 seconds to go in the football game you're six and six for the season easy call short yardage folks come in for the Miami Dolphin and if you're six six in the season what would be terribly wrong with a little play action and plan to put some points on the board loosen up your toe knee pain and Tony page will have the first down he's up near the 49-yard line he had to get just over the 48 good effort no pages parked that time he got on that last little bump well he saw the first down mark and he hopped right in there pay for it got tagged he said oh no prize for a real player a team man [Applause] I was too but I would say give it to Bubbe get with the big Braxton 49 yard line first down the Jets just trying to pass it around yeah here at the third more than one [Applause] as a shot in there and it's complete to baka cleaver that's nice hands there got it come back from pull the ball second year minute out of Montana ninth round draft pick an 82 rocky cleaver and he's close to the first down he can't get his short the key could be related to Wally and the beaver a good distant relative Robbie knows them clock continuing to tick down on the Jets the trail by 11 points 28:17 we're inside four minutes second in short O'Brien Oh to get the screen the tone rookie from Virginia Tech was thinking run before catch rocky do everything I got you the first
