1984 week 14 Raiders at Dolphins

to be moving well and warm-ups but will not start at least the first play from scrimmage well we have a moment as they attend to the injured Dolphin linebacker Thomas here is the defense where Miami Doug fetters Bob mom how who has a bad ankle they didn't know whether he would start or not but apparently will open the game Kimbo camper completing the front of that killer P defense Bob Brzezinski AJ do a Mark Brown for earnest drone and Charles Bowser who likes the Blitz and the deep for for Miami Langford and Justin at the corners going to see Don McNeil sometime during the game who is the top cornerback for Miami Blackwood and Blackwood are the safety men there Bob power yesterday he did not know yesterday in fact did not know today he said I would like to play I want to be out there see what they'll thomas going off the field they're being very cautious with him on of course with x-ray facilities here at the stadium they will know very quickly we'll update you on the report from the Miami locker room and overtime Cincinnati still alive for a wild-card spot defeating Cleveland 2017 actually going after Pittsburgh and the Steelers were losing last we heard in Houston st. Louis keeps their hopes still a flame as they defeat New England up at Foxborough 33 to 10 the Tamas now very gingerly they are taking him back to the training facilities and obviously the precautions against a possible head or neck injury sent it very quickly for the teams on the field the Raiders would like to dominate and control the football that's one way of keeping dan marino on the sidelines with that potent miami offense Welton - one touched intercept density comes out throwing set off the Kenny king backs against the drain about eight yards to the 33 Langford and Brzezinski in on the style [Music] another final score in the Battle of New York played in New Jersey the Giants 20 the Jets Tim Giants is still in a favorable position in the NFC East Henry Lawrence was very slow getting up on that last play that's a great battle down there between the Lawrence and better-better the powerful defensive end excellent pass rushers going at it [Music] third year man from Duke made the play forced it wide and he has excellent speed makes that he leads the dolphins and tackles this year great penetration supports King to try and change his route and King stumbled I think there's some loose turf out there this field chewed up badly by the play during the rainy season looked like his lake kind of went out from underneath him Vic but there is Bowser taking advantage of that miscue with help from Langford and it forces a third of three situation Thursday [Music] [Applause] [Music] Raymond guy comes in to punt for the Los Angeles Raiders as Wilson talks with head coach Tom Flores Walker will be the deep man for Miami he stands back at the 25 guy having an excellent year just under 43 yards of condom that's his career average he's punted for about 21 miles gray guy short Oh Walker an excellent job to catch that ball on the fair catch my that's 36 or 7 yard line 33 yard punt by guy he said in the Raider camp this week he punted more than he has lose quite some time because he wants to duel Richie Roby the young hunter Miami today there's Dan Marino looking for the NFL record with his 37th touchdown pass Nathan and Dennis the running backs do purring Clayton the speedsters outside the tight end Dan Jones offensive line of therefore sir Stevenson Cleveland Green did a great job on gas snow Monday night as an arrest he's got how he long this week yard line maybe the chest Mark Clayton who was open on the near sidelines had fallen gotten up and the ball was there my canes in the coverage and it would appear Dec that this fragile turf is going to be a factor Clayton planted his feet they literally shot out from underneath him he left a couple of big tear marks in the field and had that ball bounced into the air would have been tough saw the front three of the Raiders Van Pelt milind Swarek and Martin millon starting after being out for five six weeks Hayes and Haines what an interesting story the two all-pro cornerback against the young speed of the Dolphins Davis and McElroy and McIlroy will be a busy mayhem to go you claim that deep safety foot he's looking into the eyes of the quarterback all day [Music] 50 yards in the preseason when Miami won at Lausanne listen to Coliseum against the Ritter cool very interesting that the two teams have really started as in almost opposite directions we expected the Raiders to come out and try and establish the running game certainly expected Marino to come out throwing let's take tests kind of fool is up here in the booth just going against those possible pregame plans they'll be out there a while I think we'll see the true character and colors of both teams Moreno out of the shotgun as you can see greater defense second only number one offense [Music] [Applause] [Music] to gobble up Marino bouncing is celebrating it might have been Cleveland green who put the clamps on him bouncing comes in on how he lost position how he'll move to the inside and they're going to march it back against the Dolphins for the fine move a little one-on-one get the head battle there duper pays off in number 74 leveland green this is the shot of the kind of thing we're going to see all day the Raiders determine that they are going to get to Dan Marino there was Cleveland green left side of your picture just tackling from the backside on 93 Greg Johnson and of course you saw the catch there by Cooper coming across 14 for Marino good pressure again by the Raiders I asked Tom worried about his young receivers he said it's not only do they have great speed but they have the kind of quickness that allows them to get open watch the little loop right there by Clayton that's Davis trying to cover in front canes at the short and deep kind of covers John on Clayton he simply found the gap and did you see him jump for that football what hands in a lot of those fellows they can run like the wind don't have the greatest hands in the world but Duke from Clayton seemed to catch everything that was a 22 yard play play-action [Music] and no penalty because Nathan was right there on the ground Moreno had the presence of mind to thrown near a white shirt he's not used to being sacked you know he's been down only seven times all year long and the Dolphins have allowed only eight set smart play by Moreno the blitz is on Mike Davis coming they've got great pressure on little screen pass he's not going to have a chance to get it away he flipped that one into the ground the official right there I think yelling at Davis back off pull off of that quarterback or I'll throw the flag second down and ten I think they're gonna try to get to Marino ring his bell today dick well this uniform much this year I've done it yet today either [Music] it'll draw play [Music] inside the 40-yard line a pickup of eight from Miami's Orange Bowl let's go to New York for this report all right dick for those who didn't see it earlier the Bengals got a touchdown with a second to play in regulation to tie the Browns then they win it on this 36 yarder in the extra session by Jim breach meanwhile in Houston the Steelers and Oilers are going to overtime if it's Ferg loses their lead on the Bengals will be just one game dick so things still very tight in that Central Division of the AFC the Bengals with two games to go should Pittsburgh be upset by Houston would be just a game behind the Steelers 7 & 7 Dallas maintains this position in the three-way fight in the AFC East for the 2610 win at Philadelphia third and two out of the shotgun on third and Miami Dolphins wasting no time in challenging the corners of the Raiders first on Hayes paint side and Al Mike back on Legendre Hayes on the far side look how much room Lester is giving the speedster that's a 4-3 sprinter and Lester who has excellent speed himself respecting that gave him too much room on that play 11 yards on that first down play party the tight end and most Clayton and Marino is on his mark when you talk to the Raiders the comparison they make for this Miami offense is offenses to the San Diego office timing pattern that's exactly what this is a false thrown to a spot on the field and in that particular situation clayton arriving exactly at the time that the ball arrives a pinpoint pass by moreno one of the great strengths of moreno is his accuracy he really knows how to put that ball on a pinpoint target they're the two marks clayton duper 110 catches this year coming into this game they're averaging almost 19 yards every time they catch the ball is another [Music] Dula calling the place from the sideline he may well put in his elephant back feel I believe that's what he's trying to do the elephant back field vic pete johnson and woody bennett and that's about 500 pounds of running back coming at you Jilla told us so just as it was last week Monday night against the New York Jets in this situation first and goal outside the five he doesn't mind passing on first down remember Moreno is going for an NFL record 37 touchdown passes this year and he's going to throw come play he went to the tight end and Johnson [Music] Johnson had a chance at that football that ball had to be thrown perfectly right over the head of 36 Davis and if Moreno got it there but Johnson couldn't control it Johnson made a tough catch for a touchdown against the Jets on Monday night Marino on the drive is three for six 44 yards this is the tenth play no score just under nine minutes remaining first quarter [Music] and he's down at the three yard line McLeroy coming up to assist on the tackle of Westar Hayes third and goal and here come the extra wide receivers Clayton and that more sent in by Don Shula we may end up with four wives on this play dick the courts the Raiders we'll send them their specialists for the pass rush Shula does a great job of mixing his plays he really is a master strategist months to use the different tools available to him and these dolphins will put up bricks the field Audion many different ways there's a problem here and that for once the call time and Dan Marino does so soon is Tony Nathan went to Marino after they Pro cuddlin had a problem wisely more the veteran out there said late let's call time and I've missed up to certain golden three yard line let's go back Berlin to do the matchup and it really is exciting intriguing one the two speakers the new foreign claim against those veteran quarterback days and Haines everyone says that's the best pair quarterbacks in the NFL they like to cover me in the men not many do anymore so many zones and yet they try to stop duper inflating so far unsuccessfully it's really going to put pressure on this Raider defense if they cannot control those two outside receivers man the man their whole defensive strategy is based on the ability of those two men to cover by themselves now if they can't do that I talked to Willie Brown I said there's one of their defensive backfield coaches I said what happens if Clayton and duper can't be covered by one man he said we've got a real problem there they are Clayton from Louisville a second-year man duker from Northwest Louisiana state in his third year he with a world-class sprinter there's the veteran West my canes on the corners of course the Raiders to their domination in the playoffs last year on their way to the Super Bowl championships now here's what's at stake today for Miami they've already clinched as double stars they're the AFC East but they're looking for wins that will assure them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs Denver and Seattle are tied for the lead in the AFC West so the Raiders cannot win the AFC West they want the wild-card and they got some help today from the st. Louis Cardinals to beat New England so the Raiders with even a loss today will still be a game ahead of New England with two to go a win today would all but assure them the wild-card spot and will be free team from the AFC West that it appears to be to develop alright third and goal at the three Moreno this could be a touchdown for my burritos are come down the field but the pants for the touchdown went to the hider one thing that Dan Marino has not done very is to throw the bad passes it's really intercepted it looked like he came late on that pass and looked away from the receiver briefly came back and fired before he knew where the receiver was a chance for you to see it at home and it looked to me like a late adjustment by the receiver and I believe Merton Moreno through as he turned back to the inside it was duper that he wanted number 85 but it was number 22 Mike Haynes that he got there was a little pressure on Marino and in that ride despite the fact that we go through the ball well the Raiders did have pressure on him Chris fire adds the extra point and the Raiders Lee seven to nothing on a dramatic early touchdown by my cane 96 yards it appeared that Reno didn't even see the defensive back until he was showing his numbers going the other way Moreno reacting to the play he chased for a while realized there was no way he could catch tied up with a bad snap dick that may have got Moreno off on the wrong foot and it looked like duper feeling the Moreno was not going to throw the ball on time was making an adjustment Mike Hayes just reading the quarterback beautifully on that play picked it up and showing you excellent speed all the way through I think what happened it was a quick pass play a timing play the bad snap here made it impossible for Moreno to get up and get that ball off quickly it looked like we were the black jersey coming past to there's the veteran Haynes acquired last year by the Raiders from the New England Patriots his 32nd career interception is also his second career touchdown well that really took some steam out of this huge crowd at the Orange Bowl and something you want to do this crowd is a very noisy and a very partisan crowd and they really can play a role in a ball game I felt from plays and games here bris bar to kick it to Fulton Walker Walker ever dangerous [Music] the world in the Super Bowl Walker at the 10th just to complete the business on my canes interception for a touchdown that is an all-time Raider record breaking that of Fred Williamson 91 yard interception return against San Diego 22 years ago a final Kansas City has upset Denver 16 to 13 so that pushes Seattle for the moment in the first place alone in the AFC West gassing up fueling up is my cane and then watts has replaced him on the corner it is very hot and humid 80 degrees left we welcome those of you have just seen Kansas City in a dramatic victory over Denver nuts at 16 to 13 here the Orange Bowl in Miami the Raiders on a pass interception touchdown leave the Dolphins 7-nothing Moreno this man open clayton on the far side that is close to a first down on a 97 yard returned for a touchdown by cornerback Mike hands a Raider all-time record giving Los Angeles the early lead seven to nothing were at the midpoint of the first quarter Jake you made a comment I'd like to follow up on these teams I think both of them glad especially the Raiders that this game was not played at 1:00 o'clock today the temperature then probably at least 10 degrees hotter and that Sun bearing down it's hot enough and very humid on the field at this moment but with the Sun dropping at least taking some of the heat out of it these players will not be affected that much especially in those black uniform operators like to wear final the 49ers make at 13 and 1 with a victory at Atlanta that's first time Bill Walsh has one down there in Georgia very close to a first down we have second and short and right the referee will bring it in on second in inches graders very happy to have number 55 Matt Millen back in the center of that diamond they have missed him without him in there they lose some of that strength against the running game Noah a veritable tank in there and a good leader to he he's still concerned about the strength of his of his muscles in the groin difficulty we welcome to the Orange Bowl those of you have seen Buffalo defeat Indianapolis 2115 the second victory of the year for the bills here at 7 nothing Raiders on a 97 yard interception return for a touchdown by quarterback Mike Haynes of the Raiders Moreno has second and inches under pressure buddy [Music] very uncharacteristic of the Raider defense they backed off look how far Lester haze that's back doc duper and they just throw the quick slant pattern right there I think probably an audible on that play duper using his speed to go all the way to the outside jack squiring fooled family on the play I don't think he's heard on that play I think he's just going for the safe route out of bounds Vic 28 yards in the play as you see Moreno hook up with duper again and how he long trying to put some pressure on the Miami quarterback who said earlier been SEC only seven by far the best protected quarterback in the NFL part of that is his own arm quickness for Clayton it sounded a yards tremendous athletic talent to get himself in position to block that one away from a possible Miami touchdown here's how the Raiders scored earlier [Music] I thought we were going to show you how we're gonna have a replay of their touchdown apparently not 651 remaining in the first period one of the things I would be concerned about if I were a member of the Raiders staff if I were on their sideline when you get a big break like that early in the game sometimes if you're an emotional team it takes a little of that pent-up emotion after it's almost too easy that's one thing they can't afford to have happen [Music] three yards into the grass with wiry can Tony Caldwell 58 and fifty Cent Brad van pelt 91 in on the stop 7-nothing Raiders here in Miami let's go to New York dick you'll recall that a week ago against Seattle on the last play of the game rich Carlos hit the right upright in an attempt to tie in Kansas City five seconds to go he hits the left upright from 42 yards away Kansas City rallies from a 10 nothing deficit beats Denver 1613 lonely road field goal kicker first we saw Carlos in one of his highs when he beat these Raiders Kalas even over time of a field goal Moreno on 3rd and 8th at the 26-yard line here's Jonathan 25 I don't think he has the her they're unhappy with a spot it's awfully tough for a cornerback to line up on a speedster like duper and have to run backwards look at him he's got to turn and move with a with a 4-3 sprinter right here and stay with him just shadow him all the way you see the problem look at the quickness of Mike Haynes is a fast fast man but the quickness of duper almost amazing there but Worthen inches looks as if Miami's going to gamble they're not going for the field goal trailing seven nothing the ball just outside the 25-yard line less than a foot for a first down oh my god three tight ends in there or they got suicide [Music] 25 and chief Johnson at 250 [Music] Martin was giving away about 40 pounds and Johnson just pulled ahead [Music] Bru's party coming in motion from his wing position to trap block on the inside but it's just the brute force right there one on one on Martin who could not slow down Vic Pete Johnson feet not nearly as big as he used to be have dropped a lot of weight under Shula here down to about 248 pounds and that is down he was close to 270 in fact after 70 when he was in San Diego the grain market the way trailing seven happening at the Raider 24 Rep Joe Carter [Music] no gain as the veteran Alzado certainly read that play perfectly good penetration Alzado planning to the inside in very quickly Carter is an explosive player we understand that Houston and Pittsburgh in overtime and they're getting set now for a possible winning field goal try and as soon as that develops we're going to switch you live to the Astrodome in Houston for 41 remaining in the first quarter here Dan Marino a loss of a yard on that last play second and 11th under pressure gets away from law looking deep next more came back to veterans be just short of the first down [Music] Moreno does not like to run with a football he's been well schooled not to do that he has to run here Howie long right they're coming hard Moreno eludes him gets to the outside feels the pressure from Pitt Cal number 71 coming at him but he has a receiver who knows how to come back against the grain no this quarterback is in trouble look how that mark comes back to the ball here starts the man away and then comes back to the football to make the catch that's smart football and that's beautiful television I guess that's why a lot of folks miss that instant replay when they go to the stadium who saw both quarterbacks and the sea first time [Music] the six yard line this is where Moreno and the dolphins were before first and goal at the Raider 6 and on second down he threw the interception and Haynes dropped 97 yards for the Raider touchdown same situation interesting dick all through the early part of the season Shoeless troops that scored first the drawn first blood this is the fourth week in a row that their opponents have scored first but Moreno has proved one thing conclusively here the Raider defense hasn't slowed them down much they can move the football both on the air and over in the ground final score Green Bay defeats Tampa Bay 2714 and Houston has defeated Pittsburgh in overtime so Cincinnati's only a game back in the Central Division worst [Music] I ll Zito van McIlroy's and file again for those of you who have joined us after watching the first half of our NBC double-header it's I guess well known to everyone that the merino is going for the all-time record 37 cents down passes right now let's see how Houston beat Pittsburgh let's go to New York all right dick here's how it happened in overtime Joe Cooper concluding yard but Pittsburgh losses in OT Cincinnati wins in overtime with two games left to play on the year Pittsburgh's lead over the Bengals is down to one and if they should tie the tie breakers favor Cincinnati second and goal for Miami at the 4 Marino and left for Hayes and that more were in a little pushing match in that corner of the endzone wag Lester locked up and that doesn't want to talk on that one let's just say hey I got to win some of these battles over there Lester in terms of looking at the technique of these two corner backs you talk to duper and the Clayton about the matchup and one of the things they said you never know what Lester is gonna do on that side you always know what Mike's gonna do and we welcome those of you have seen the overtime scrapped between the Oilers and Steelers and goostin putting things together under Duke Campbell defeating Pittsburgh 2320 cutting the Steelers lead in the central division to just one game here at 7:19 Raiders this is a third and goal from the 4 yard line Marino looking for the record to the quarterback [Music] [Music] records nearby never saw sidled mass off land the kitchen ever saw grow up that's when I was a kid dan Marino he's only 23 now the try for a point by Vaughn shaman see even the game [Music] 7/7 left in the first quarter a border dominated by Miami but a pass interception for a touchdown has it even [Music] there are 36 touchdowns in a 14 game season Moreno has 37 Victor works this team may choose to describe him accurate decisive for many physicians and he showed some of his leadership coming back from a mistake didn't miss the beat brought him back down the field and threw the touchdown after throwing the touchdown interception the other direction now the Raiders will get the football the time [Music] good kick with a wind of his back man William the key to this play as you another bad snap by the way Stevenson not getting the ball back look how Moreno avoids the rush here and then has time to spot his receiver cephalo has broken away on that cipher McKinney good job by temple off getting himself open and of course Moreno finding the open man no it's thrown touchdown passes to 9 different receivers this year cephalo didn't have one but he gets the record today he gets the most important one for [Music] this quarter and there goes Marcus Allen to the 29 yard line Dave Casper number 87 is in there using that two tight end formation deck nearly a first down from Miami to New York Jack earlier today on the pregame show P tax them picked the Jets over the Giants but the mayor of New York's disagreed you are wrong it's the Giants by 10 points and the final the Giants 20 the Jets 10 where to go your honor let's go back is that the first dent I understand that Pete Aksum was scenes churning out of the studio to get mayor Koch his phone number you want to get ready for next week's fix not winner how many of his past he had in his pocket so that's right well mayor catch did not have his hat fall the P tag selva fairly well the Dolphins dominating the first quarter but the pass interception for touchdown by Haynes of 97 yards making it a 7 five left in this the first first time for the Raider after the second side end in motion Oh son looking long and there by just to the 49 and 42-mile Blackwood for those of you who follow these Raiders know about Wilson's some problems suffered a sprained thumb badly sprained thumb on the Chicago game had to go back into that game what David Homme was knocked out knocked unconscious and injured he had to play with that injured thumb for a number of weeks and he could not grip the football told me yesterday that Thomas back to strength now he can throw and it wouldn't surprise me to see him maybe try and get deep here the Raiders love to fill the deep ball [Music] he goes deep and Williams's office 35 Doki Williams out of bounds at the Miami is 19 yard line by ole Blackwood veteran from TCU to him out of bounds a 47-yard play joki williams we're going to see more and more of him on the Raider lineup they like his feed look how they're trying to keep him on the line of scrimmage that's Langford 44 but dokie just blazed away and that's the same kind of pattern that we see Cooper and Clayton running Wilton put that ball right perfectly on target he throws a very soft pass put the high trajectory on the ball it kind of lost it and it just lays it out in front of the receiver it is very easy pass to catch [Applause] the Clayton duper company [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Allen who starts today with 14 touchdowns to lead the National Football League in that regard and in second place are Mark Clayton and Pete Johnson each with a dozen these Allen overall the top ground gainer rushing and receiving in the American Conference very high in praise of Marcos Award winner [Music] intercepted he thrown right into the chest of rile black wood but black wood had his eyes on the receiver not on the fall no was knocked off his shoulder pads black was just really preparing the time the hit expecting to have to strip that ball away ball a little erratic actually bounce right off his Jeff he's been suffering from a calf problem and I'm talking to the to the Miami coaches they said he's so tough he got a shooting to get him off the field he's double tough [Applause] his brother Gwen Miami [Music] we got to people in motion [Music] I am Justin they'll decline the penalty [Applause] it looks like Marcus Allen made a mistake you can only have one man in motion Marcus either blew the count or blew the play he started out in motion the flag went down instantly Marcus tried to stop so that he would be in a set position although out of position [Music] well stumble right into the arms of Judson and my and he stops the Raider Drive [Music] 17 seconds left in the quarter in Thai to seven [Music] sideline as fast as I could earlier we're on their field and it just really is hot down there Marcus Allen on that last play watch him here he knew he'd made a mistake he looked to the outside and tried to stop no chance for him now here's the shot right here while Black was stripping that ball away just pulling Warren wells arms apart and what appeared to be scoring position suddenly turns into a turnover dan Marino goes to work he's ruled a bowl very effectively against the Raider defense Jo Carter [Music] get back in the lineup for the Raiders and they're getting healthy at the right time they had lost millon and Kinlaw in the middle of that defense they're both back now and starting today Jim Plunkett is healthy threw the ball extremely well in practice yesterday we thought Mark Wilson is finally healed but it's Dan Marino's Davis farm two touchdowns one on an interception that he 97 yards and then even sets the record did the Jimmy cephalo against Miami look at the Raiders 13 3 and 1 against Shula in the Dolphins and they've won four in a row and actually have a lead here in the Orange Bowl for three and one no other team can make that claim in seven all as we open the second quarter Tom forest the only coach that Sheila's ass beaten head-to-head what he Bennett behind Marino [Music] [Applause] he had left her haze beaten cleanly and dropped the bowl in the open we've seen those little speedsters not hang on the one that should have been caught we have quite a few Smurfs on the field today it's - honey who's that terminology almost all of the starting receivers in fact all the starting receivers relatively small in stature dick Dwight Stevenson from Alabama and his fifth year in college teammate have done but Neal the quarterback with the Dolphins a superb run blocker we're going to keep our eyes on him he makes it mighty tough on that nose guard and the 4-3 defense really takes care of the linebackers and part of the team that is protected the quarterback so well here in my [Music] immediately at the 35 short of the worst down as Matt Morris Mike Davis barreling into the receiver of the Dolphins and Ritchie Roby will come in for his first punt of the day and Roby had a terrific game Monday night average 51 yards I think four or five kicks he's a two-step hunter and he is the biggest of the NFL kickers he weighs almost 240 pounds he just overpowers it and watching him yesterday very difficult to read the flight of the ball one time ago right next time left next time it'll die next time it sails over your head and CLE Montgomery has replaced Greg crew at the other end he's in 220 he kicked that one with the roll is out of the end zone that's over 80 yards into the wind Red Deer OB 65 yards 45 yards on the net for OB as the Raiders will take over at their 20-yard line let's just check the height of that punt Roby has such a powerful leg he simply overpowers that football and we lose the height to the ball but its way up literally above the top of the funk to the stadium here finally dropping out of the sky and pounding its way through the end zone I think Montgomery was glad that one rolled into the end zone next Sunday Bor great football on NBC and although a sixth-round graphic of the dolphins is proving that he's right there with a very best in the NFL Detroit early lead ten seven against Seattle that's out at the Kingdome rammed blowing out early 21 nothing against New Orleans wonder what Kennedy Eric Dickerson is having as he goes after OJ's [Music] has a man open Christianson but misses him out at the 50-yard line Christensen who has 65 catches this year after leading the NFL last year with 92 the Raiders again employing the two tight end offense and they've been successful running the football with that offense over the past few weeks they spent a lot of time early in this week adding a number of pass plays to that particular formation and that set midweek Casper came in with a pulled hamstring they thought they were going to have to junk the whole offense but it appears that they have decided to go with it he's on the field right now the fact that Jim coming in motion [Music] [Applause] five yard line after a five yard gain seeing a why Marcus at times is guilty of the fumble as he made the cutback as part of his balance he at that ball way out to his side but what a productive player he has been since graduating from Southern California his Los Angeles Raiders use fewer substitutions offensively I think than any football team in the NFL one of the reasons they can do that is because of the flexibility of the versatility of number 32 Marcus Allen we get the feeling that I thought in that situation Hawkins around 2nd and 5 Wilson down the middle great catch by Christiansen who had to go hide his fear that first down Mark Wilson knocked down very abruptly on that play flag is down and maybe holding against the Raiders and they're walking way back in the other direction [Music] it's going to negate that fine first down throw 79 and Bruce Davis well we're seeing in terms of the yellow flag that dolphins the least penalized team in football the last decade plus and again lowest number of penalties this year and the Raiders are in a fight with the Lions for most penalties in the NFL this season left side of your screen number 79 we say this right they're locked up Bowser lucky he's down again [Music] [Applause] makes the Packer with the 6-yard line [Applause] and you get the feeling we meet we may see Jim Plunkett before this day is through [Music] pressure dolphins able to get people free and into mark.wilson faith Wilson with that kind of pressure and you sense right here he sees the white shirts coming at him fired that football and just overthrew overthrew his intended receiver right here over the head of Barnwell and right into the arms of william Jetson Jetson flying up the sideline gets it almost to the five before he's driven out of bounds and that was a gimme pretty good tackle by Marcus Allen first and goal for the dolphins as they attempt to capitalize on the Wilson interception [Music] breno looking for number 30 johnson ii that's been off his fingertips in the end zone we're coming with everything they have trying to shake up Marino Moreno giving that ball on targeted it is a tough catch though when you have to turn your body all the way around dick you know he had to get out there isolation shot right there Johnson is going to work on the strong safety Mike Davis UC Davis trying to get back into the action and they see why couldn't catch that ball he had to turn his body literally more than 180 degrees and then could not handle it second and goal from the 6 it's tied at 7 13 minutes left in the first 10 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jimmy cephalo has the first touchdown for him receiving this year and Tony Nathan his initial touchdown rushing usually goes to Pete Johnson down float Miami Dolphins give their fans another reason to celebrate here Nathan just showing you explosive quickness here found a small opening and looked like he would look like a ping-pong ball being knocked up into the air he was literally almost knocked into the end zone on that play from nine seconds after the Pats interception by Judson and Vaughn Chapman tried to give him a seven-point lead [Music] crossbar a hit no crossbar with a blog labor with block good penetration hydrating Sean Jones from Northeast Boston able to fly SWAT that let's see it from we got an end zone camera down there don't we yeah right 1599 right here john jones six-foot-seven watch him co-op the big hand right the center of your screen blocks it knocked it away got that full reach and extension at the perfect second and how often to those mid extra points come to bear later in the game [Music] trucks and revolutionary new cars dodge an American Revolution by ACTRA from Gillette the essence of Shaving and by NCR who bring you a better personal computer the ken burgin Merlin Olsen at the Orange Bowl in Miami the Dolphins looking for their 13th win against the single loss lead and 13 to 7 each team has turned an interception into a touchdown comin kicking toward CLE Montgomery that's the sick [Applause] memory is all away to the 48-yard line no the younger brother of the Eagles Wilbert with an excellent kickoff return finally tackled by Roberts oh well one of the things that's interesting about watching Dan Marino when he gets in behind the center he waggles he never stays still in there watching moving his hips bouncing around you also will see right here the explosive quickness we mentioned Tony Nathan and right there just throwing his body into the air and finally into the end zone good teams take advantage of their opportunity they make you pay for mistakes that's exactly what Miami does mark.wilson still at quarterback and Marcus Allen's showing his shiftiness as he dances down the Miami 45 and a flag is down motion against Raiders [Music] that'll nullify they good first down carry by Marcus Allen you saw the penalty statistics early and certainly so far in this game the penalties have really hurt the Los Angeles Raiders you don't want to kill your own drives you don't want to take away your big plays offensively and the number of big plays have come back to the line have been marched off as penalties instead of giving these Raiders an opportunity to move the ball down the field as head of the seven yard game the five yard from the Raider 43 [Music] detection wide-open barnwell's again I don't think that thumb is 100% the Raiders are saying and Wilson has said he's completely healed but he's not throwing the ball then accurately nor if he throwing it with any zip you have to wonder to what happened to Marc's confidence in those games that he had to play with that bad thumb I've got to believe it was awfully hard on him to react as he's been trained to reacted to watch that ball just kind of flip out of his hand and and soar through the air and into the hands of the opponents are out of bounds he's got to wonder what it did to him emotionally and he shot the trouble Barnwell was wide open [Music] well this time is he inbound yes first down at the miami 39 and malcolm Barnwell from Virginia Union he is developed into one of the better kept secrets of the NFL he's over 40 on the year Andy that was an excellent move when the Raiders want to go deep and they talk about their vertical game this is the man they go to more and more often look how he just stretched everything she could get to keep those toes and bounds almost a ballet like move on that sideline 39 yard line for the Raiders in this 14 to 7 Miami 17 seconds left in the name [Music] [Applause] [Music] got just enough of Marcus Allen distribu mum after a 15-yard game let's pause briefly for station identification this is the NBC television network in sports cincinnati style WLWT channel 5 in the heat of the Orange Bowl Miami Florida the Dolphins leading the Raiders 13 to 7 Marcus Allen will show you why he's such a great back on this particular play I just turn a loose here and good back make you miss watch what he does to Blackwood here change of direction literally leaping almost over the defensive back for short unities off the right side down to about the dolphin 22 yard line mom how are playing on that injured ankle number 73 along with AJ do a after Bowl camper had gotten the first piece of Marcus Allen he mentioned that in the early part of the show deck that these dolphins have been susceptible to the run 28 in the league against the rushing average that's average per rush but not many teams have been able to run the ball against them when you fall behind and the dolphin offense has been so exploding that people have had to give up on the run and go to the passing game running up to shortly [Music] it openers out around him at the 11-yard line first down Raiders 10 yards to Alison Sweeney Todd Christensen alone by himself in the end zone but Allen was the man they wanted underneath and that team at such a tough play on a defense if you can get the ball to a great running back like Allen in the secondary where he must only then deal with the secondary he can raise havoc for Dave Casper going Chris with cancer as we often talk about the ability of quarterbacks to see the field to read the receivers to know who is open and who is covered great running backs also have to have that kind of vision Marcus Allen starts to play to the left and breaks all the way back against the grain excellent blocking but mostly it was Allen's ability to see that opening develop and then the quickness to take advantage of it that allowed him to get into the right the driver point for the lead and crisp our nails it throw the Raiders lead for the second time 14 to 13 Marcus Allen aided by an excellent block from Henry Lawrence and the Raiders lead by one announcer the toughest truck warranty in America five years Sam as the kid went to see the Browns for the heyday of Paul Brown later was drafted by the Browns out of John Carroll University Don Shula only one of the coaching elite men just kicked by bar Fulton walker watches the span eight yards deep in the end zone first down Miami at the 20-yard line 1413 the Raiders took a 7 nothing lead on a 97 yard touchdown interception by my games Marino decebal the record-setting 37 touchdowns after the season from Reno to tied at 7 all then adjust an interception to the Raiders 6 Nathan scored from 6 yards out and make it 13 7 to Shawn Jones blocked the extra point in that meant that Marcus Allen touchdown with bars point we give the Raiders the lead [Music] that's final Chucky acre for ACDelco this flight doesn't get scrubbed from bad weather you were the Raiders how he long from Villanova he has eight and a half sex this year second to rod Martin he led the team with 13 sacks lantry's getting double and triple-teamed [Music] they're mine [Music] rolling and away from mark late night above all with no catch bullets Emily quite possibly a holding call they tried to slow down how him how him long for that tackle position I think the Raiders have decided defensively that they're going to have to go to the four-man line even on first down to get a squeeze on Marino put some pressure on it how he doing a good job of rushing on that last play working on Roy Foster number 61 here's the play right here you'll get a chance to see number 75 in action and he is so quick he really is an outstanding defensive lineman plays the run well as well as the pass getting around all that Stephenson he moved inside got away from Stephenson and that's no easy task broke clean putting the pressure on to the backside one-word compliment you hear it from the men who try to block long as well as the teammates have long [Music] he just gives you 60 minutes up all the time [Music] 20 to trap and break him loose against that four-man line but Jack Swarek the broken jaw dolphins in the preseason made the hit on that play and who broke his jaw from ends of birches now playing for the Jets let's go inside and look at how a long we saw how we make a good play a moment ago this particular play he's trying to get back inside him he could not make it before he stuffed some bodies in their face but he is very physical head open as an anemic man sixty-four the right jars in my own 25 five yards short of a first down Squire ik again on the tackle that's the kind of play that will remind a lot of people of the San Diego Chargers and and without Marino able to throw those kinds of patterns and they're doing more and more of that tight ends very big in last week's victories for both these teams three tight ends downs last week to fir Hardy and one for Johnson and they were on that kind of quick opening play third down and five super right Clayton on the right side with Nathan at the Sun [Music] he has the ability to turn can't get in the way of clay key and knocking other ways on that twice plus the interception for a touchdown great battles going on set it up for you on our pregame show the matchup speed on speed this fall under throne look at Hayes go all the way back around literally para wet to put his fingers on that football had that ball stayed in the air just a moment longer receiver might have gotten back to a dick and man rush now or at least they have 10 min on the line of scrimmage Montgomery back at the 32 [Music] dying spirals on Emery at the 30 ambitious returned by clean Montgomery's to the 37 yard line a seven yard return of a 45-yard punt timeout with 808 remaining first and the Revolution began with Dodge Caravan and Dodge Daytona we pretend this is the knee rather than an elbow it works to protect the Nate George Anderson the trainer for the for the Raiders developed this brace to show you how effective it is here are two braces this of course is the way it should look this one was will burn hi Matt Millen the San Diego game came off the field and look hmmm saved his knee he said it saved him from surgery moreno wearing one of those on each of his legs you see the bulk on the outside of the knee to protect those very valuable knees on that quarterback i think that out to be required of all high school players there a lot of them that require today especially at their bigger pole wilson going for the bomb looks like a pump in their major did whole Lange 444 looks as if you got a little piece of iron well but argument from the raider who receiver man the man confrontations graders say let's let's put some pressure on the dolphin defensive backs look at that excellent speed here we thought the pump was right here both men moving I believe well maybe he's maybe the official decided that ball could not have been caught and if that's the case they do not show the flag but definitely contact between the receiver and the defender second San Marcos worms out to the 42 [Music] just to finish up that piece of business dick George Anderson the trainer for the Raiders the only member of the original Raider crew still there 25 years he's been with the Raider organization an excellent trainer and I think with this grace has provided a very important tool to young athletes all across the country the court [Music] runner pain going deep hesitation on the sidelines I don't know if he went out of bounds and he was working on down the field Hale seeing his first action after being on the injured reserve list for a while actually not on the injured reserve injured but kept on the active roster and Barnwell they have heard himself retching out trying to get back to that football McNeal an outstanding quarterback they're returning to the lineup for Miami in fact many feel he is their finest defensive back when his healthy looks like he may have tried to catch himself on his left arm and shoulder may have injured himself in the process Oh what so Vania lightbulbs go through before they come to you barn well here's a latest report on Rodell Thomas was hit hurt when he made a hit on the opening kickoff he's been taken to a Miami hospital after x-raying his neck Oh up on a stretcher will advance both and walkers [Music] punt by guy and and the Walker [Music] hard to tell what was going through Davis's mine he may have glanced up to check on the plight of that wall and may not have seen the fair catch signal wait a minute there may not be apply they're gonna rhihub we get a chance I'd like to see the comparison of guy who is really the classic punter you know you and they used to take the picture of the punters and you follow through and get that foot up above your head and then Roby he was such a different style is that it hits it more like a linebacker robe he is the power punter using the huge strength of that leg to get the ball away now there it is just like magic dick but look at the extension of Ray guy [Music] Davis like they are James Davis was walked into the kicker bumped into the kick receiver arriving there under his own power was therefore not to be penalized we don't have a spectacular play let's go back to those punters there's something else I'd like to see again Miami will begin just inside the 15 with the Raiders in from 14 to 13 Marino's too Robi unlike most every mutter in the league when he makes contact with a football look at his left foot firmly planted now guy has the traditional classic salads contact his mate you're airborne but Robi for that two-step and 240 pounds at the sides of his thighs he just flattens the ball hockey to steve hartmeyer the special teams coach of the raiders he said you know we really won't even try and block his punch you can't get there he sees had one punt walk that was last year but with those two quick steps of getting the ball off like he does he said he doesn't give you any options and the ball is up there forever so you have to fair dish most on yetis second to Jim Arnold to Kansas City for the NFL under some pressure there and another rare drop and look at Lester Hayes he's furious with a official downfield saying that he pushing off on me Lester wanted offensive interference against Clayton on that play that amazing that Clayton would drop this football let's see what Lester's angry about well a little bit of a shoulder not that much but he certainly should have got that football I think maybe just too easy that's too much time we talked earlier with great hands Clayton and duper they've shown through the year and been a tough half for Clayton Lester doing a little play acting on that one I think they little Cepheid work [Music] late move to the right you with those quarterbacks right up on the line of scrimmage look at the Hazen hane with that the 30-second clock our motion against Miami I think someone moved on the Miami line start offense number 61 Roy a foster he may try to get the jump on how he long [Music] outstanding blockers USC for Marcus Allen one of the reasons that is dolphin line has been so effective in keeping merino from being sacked is because they have such a good protection scheme John Santa [Music] they all say customers [Music] [Music] 17 by James Davis number 45 with an assist to rot marking leo fro linebacker the Raiders and here comes Roby to punt will be able to hit it young man swing that big right leg again and he's got plenty of field to work with he is kicking into the wind his last kick not nearly as good as the one we saw earlier that literally went as high as the Orange Bowl top roads we're going to try to track the height of Brobee spawn even when he doesn't hit it cleanly for the spiral he just gets it up there so hot [Music] the cow is fine he was angry instantly let's see how bad rotation marks that Robi cake was I think it still was pretty close to 45 yards it was 46 that's a bad kick 46 into the wind and considered a bad one here the orange wall worth so much college and pro football history has been written about this moment with that really 15 years ago last year wanted to beat him on Sunday and the Raiders of course looking for a win that would get them into the playoffs upcoming as a wild-card team and she hasn't been that cold you remember the ball 15 as a wild card they won four games and the Eagles for the Super Bowl title wide open Christensen [Applause] Ammy 41 new weaknesses of the dolphin defense the last three weeks have been right hands have been open and they've not stopped the run as well as they'd like 21 yards on the play of Kristensen of course of very wily receiver just has a great sense about finding the openings you saw that quick peek he knew that there was a chance to get over and get open wilson did a good job of picking him up in the open and getting him the football and a first down before under five minutes left in the and the Raiders leave Miami pick up the Blitz and there's Christensen in a crowd with another first down at the 30 yard line Brown and Bowser and Blackwood three of the killer bean to make the stop after an 11 yard game but an injury to Henry Lawrence Lawrence on the ground and the one thing you don't want to see if you're on that Raider sideline is another one of your offensive linemen down they've had done most far it started as a guard he's now with surgery on his back Shelby Jordan Shelby Jorgy has not had surgery but may well have to have surgery on his knee he will not be back during the year checking the stability of the knee joint he's in the middle of your screen right there and look at the look at the ground giving a lantern we talked earlier about the fact that this turf is is not in very good shape they played on it on several rainy days like at BC month Miami game was one that was here just a couple of weeks ago tore the turf on Florence one of those with consecutive on NBC for what a beautiful sight through the open end of this orange [Music] Hawkins a couple of yards but yes fur with a noise here in the Orange Bowl obviously missed the snap count [Music] gaffur at that wing formation to tight ends a full two steps before the count I think he just blew the convict I think thought it was on one count and not on another and you see him grabbing the hamstring I don't know maybe as much for a little sympathy from the sideline yeah yeah hate to make that kind of mistakes again the Raiders hurt by their own mistakes well what they've refused the penalty and deliver Heat they've taken the down couple of yards on the play by the way you were right Merlin Charlie Hanna has moved off from guard to right tackle replacing Henry Lauren Hanna 73 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] we are mark brown in a second year from Purdue where he led the Boilermakers in the big 10 in tackles his senior year and he is tough against the run Chuck's deadly first new at the job of coordinating this Miami defense aren't smarter there he is in the center of your screen with the paper underneath his arm he's the man who calls the defenses before the killer beez bill aren't smarter his predecessor and Shula's right-hand man for so many years now at LSU got a little peaceful chillin son the other [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm going for six and there's Barnwell oh what a play by Mikael he hustle back to do what Mike phases dolphin receivers Henry and Lauren said return to the line to give Wilson some protection on this play Barnwell opened in the endzone blue by McNeil on that play and McNeil making the reaction as you said dick got back got his hand on that football when you talk about great defensive back you talked about their ability to close on the receivers you saw it right there great ball reaction Chris bar will try a 44 yard and he has three more Raider points Warda easily swing that leg through had the wind in his back and the Raiders build their lead to four at 1713 certainly one of the advantages that the Raiders have in this ballgame the consistency of a crest bar it's been a mighty tough year for vivan shaman shaman kicking less than 50% on it field goals and it's missing on his extra points this one in this ball game obviously and that has been a big worry and a concern for Don Shula if bars extra point now the field-goal the difference in the game as Vaughn shaman who has not yet yet from beyond 37 yards 9 to 12 inside 37 has been as longest of the year he's missed everything he's over 8 outside the 37 case you joined us late Dallas and the Giants both have one to join Washington at nine and five in the East Pittsburgh lost today Cincinnati won both in overtime so the Bengals are only a game behind the Steelers with two to play and now a very interesting Central Division of the AFC [Music] all that information at halftime NFL 84 Walker written that long ticked by bar and with 319 left and a half Dan Marino and the Miami oven makes the veal beef R has become one of the best kick-off men in the NFL I think he and Norm Thompson out the Seattle the two who consistently put that ball into the end zone with great regularity benefiting here of course from a trailing breeze but he really rooted that football Moreno who sent an NFL season record with his 37th touchdown pass when he hit Jimmy cephalo to tie the game in the first quarter at seven all now looks at a deficit of four points [Music] in touchdown by my into the Raiders [Music] again the break it up in midfield and tennis producer he wanted the interception lying us down in the backfield of the Dolphins Perle no war on the far side of the field Cooper and Mike came it was a holding call against Miami here's a chance look how he crowds him at the line actually batting his helmet to try and break his timing and allowing him to go inside there changing up on the receivers ordinarily the Raiders always force the wide receivers to the outside on that play it saw my cane allowing the receiver to break inside I think it came as a real shock that one of those typical southern Florida showers nothing serious is a lot of blue sky all around version a waning minutes so this warm Sunday afternoon [Music] 20 after the holding pole and in the backfield they know and Ron Martin collaborate along with how a long traitors have not lost their ability to use the verbs well Alzado threatens to tear the lips off burrito fun perky no assets Hawai mylisa certainly one of the colorful teams in the NFL and one of the most outspoken men in the way while Alzado playing pretty warrior there you know it's never about television Sonny did that puckers his lips away and his own he'd already have had it snappin why not another part of my life okay that'll be 12 yards short of a first my Keynes makes the tackle along with Martin [Music] Raiders will miss the consistency of thought Nelson the starting linebacker offense no average mark excuse me Berlin 4,000 yards for a pastor that's only the second passer in NFL history to get 4,000 yards in a season Dan Marino the way he's the way he's marching people around and throwing the ball this year there are the other he writes the books Wow Dickey Kenny syphon and Joe Namath and now Dan Marino in the four thousand yard Club berth with white tittle along with George Klan who held the season record of 36 touchdown passes there's old 16 George Blanda young 23 year old Dan Marino all alone in the book today [Music] when fulton walker of the miami dolphins caught that ball in Super Bowl 17 there were 98 yards and 11 Redskins between him and a touchdown but he never looked back by for its third and 12 for Moreno and company as the Dolphins break huddle at their own 18 yard line number of short path from Stevenson on the shotgun let's see if he can get this one yeah [Music] as a Raider sideline look like more actually bumping Davis at the same time let's see who he called it on no way he's marching out I believe he's going to call it on the defensive ma'am Flores pulling Willie Brown is assistant coach and a former defensive back away that's a big break for the Dolphins on third and 12 to get the interference call on the first down pass interference 45 that's the first job and I believe we get a chance to see the end of that play it's one that will not justify the call James Davis 45 called against him 1:53 left in the half we'll try and save that for you show it to you later lately here within bounds it's a good catch at the 25-yard I think the most amazing thing about San Marino is the fact that he can throw the ball virtually from any position totally out of balance on that play and yet he saw Clayton coming open and just gunned the football to him look looks like he was throwing absolutely against his body watch him here Marino totally out of balance as he throws this football running sees the receiver opens falling back look he stepped both feet off the ground Lester Hayes the man that he beats that I've charted quarterback for eight years I've never seen a level of confidence except maybe the great Dan Fouts and here's Marino only at 23 and it took confidence to throw that one [Music] and John the 14 yards mike davis woulda tackles they thought he got pushed the Dolphins extremely lucky on that plate Tony Nathan actually started in motion and then stopped I don't believe he was set for a full second I think that's what Mike Davis is so angry about the officials apparently thought that he had stopped for a second I don't believe he had 1:14 left on the clock running take the lead before the intermission [Music] [Applause] saving tackle by Brad vans health former giant number 91 or that would have been a touchdown and fell starter virtually since he arrived after the trade from Minnesota he's one of the few men with fresh legs on the field dick he literally is played only enough to justify killing in a rigorous evening just becoming out of camp look at the rain falling now this has become more of a distant hour ball at the six yard line second down [Music] Karina gunning early almost made a one-handed staff of a wedding football he's a little guy but he has very large hands we watched them yesterday catching balls just like that where the point of the ball one-handed that is the quickness and the athletic ability that is so much admired by those who watch him perform and Paul you notice that's not a pure spiral that ball is kind of rotating in a funny way Clayton able to control it with one hand but couldn't get back to pick it up for the touchdown well you think Lester days and Mike game goes clink well vanilla I guarantee they did not sleep well last night [Music] first habits third and to believe that's an unbalanced [Music] for a first time it looked to me like they moved the guard over and unbalanced that line on that particular in play number 84 Bruce party sign-in coming from a wing position walking on number 91 Brad Van Pelt's helping to clear the way first Pete Johnson just Buffalo in his way for that first down 15 seconds remaining in the half this time is called by the Dolphins they have one timeout left remember they called one late in the first verse the total for the Dolphins is six time he's done it one year and he's about to go seven times today the way he's putting the bowl of the year actually when we say 300 yards we say in excess of 300 a couple of those games went 400 yards and more so Moreno has been the hot pan of the NFL no question about that three yards away from the lead [Music] [Applause] [Music] Tony Nathan to the one-yard line Davis Mike Davis watch the talk to the official about it but I don't think it's going to do any good certainly has been a lot of contact on all the past patterns at the mismatch of speed between Davis Nathan Davis over to give his opinion to the official who thrown the flag look at the left-hand corner of your screen there's Nathan right there and there's the bump that's the one they call that's the one they called so first down at the one Pete Johnson is join woody Bennett the clock is running 14:39 38 the Dolphins have one timeout remaining the elephant's backfield with three side ends that's the big people in there they're going right back to the line Moreno will have to call an audible he says get down that's ticking away 24:23 [Music] Oh barely got the fall to Jonathan we're going to market just short of the goal line 12 seconds 11 and now the call time nine seconds so what appeared to be almost an easy six first and goal at the one becomes a little hairy for the Miami Dolphins they've got time for another play 9 seconds tremendous penetration right there looks like Matt Millen jumping over the top on that particular play Johnson actually touching his Lee down you see the ball across the goal line but they said that his knee was down before he reached out there's the ball being stretched I think they're right I think he did touch it down before he stretched the ball over the goal line had he been able to reach out with his knees not on the ground would have been a touchdown Don Shula talking with Marino the guest is that they'll go for one play a pass and if they can't find the open man the incomplete will allow the field goal team to come on but trailing by four that missed extra point changes your thinking a little bit too certainly does reminiscence of yesterday's Auburn game cap ties decisions in that one where he decided to go for the touchdown and not to kick the field goal one he might remember for a while back in 2001 the LSU Tigers cheered hurt my dad Mike Maul world here's shoeless son quarterbacking Alabama and helping Bill Aaron sparkers LSU Tigers aren't Berger the former defensive wizard under Shula all right here we go ball inside the one nine seconds left you know runner passes I almost believe they're gonna run the football yeah I'm okay because if they run in there stop then they miss the fury all together they've got a bird of course if they run it wide you still have the option of going out of bounds or stopping the clock if they've got the big men in there then while they're balancing the wine runs out on to Miami - one the gamble backfires and what a little gift from Flores [Music] surprising clothes Jula gambled and lost on that one that was a gamble the Raiders come up with a big play here's the defensive surge all handed off tremendous play on the line of scrimmage nowhere to go for woody Bennett bullying in there on top Lyle Alzado down on the bottom Miami Dolphins with three tries from the one-yard line in the final minute failed and the Raiders leave the field with the lead at the intermission that gave the Raiders such a big lift dick I think in the locker room that has a real impact and we start the second half with Barre kicking off to the dolphin 17 to 13 the score now in the Knights of Miami Bolton Walker he does not get back to the 20-yard line stop golden 2:17 so Dan Marino's we had reintroduced that Alphin there's the first half statistics the Dolphins dominating ball control the bottom line there nearly 19 minutes to 11 advance interception for a touchdown a key for the raiders yards passing in the Dolphins corner just a few more yards rushing for lay Los Angeles Raiders Raiders offense proving that they could move the ball in this first half - they have exploited the running weakness of the Miami defense the shower has stopped the grass will be wet here in the third quarter Sato again and his attack has been to land sharply in from defensive end that's the third time he's made a tackle in the backfield with that kind of penetration Alzado along with this Raider defense really feeling the the challenge of this opportunity to play this Miami offense said they have they're coming off a hot streak they have been playing excellent defense over the last five or six weeks and the greater offense has not been playing as well but defensively they have just improved and improved and of course ranked number two in the NFL and they're showing you why in this ball game tonight against the top-rated offense in the entire NFL [Music] Moreno which arm quarterback science Nathan and he has a first down at the 31 yard line MacElroy to make the tackle accuracy is so important for a quarterback with confidence in his arm to be able to throw that ball on target Nathan woods not did not have enough for the first down when he caught that football had to turn and pick it up I was very fortunate I think that he was not grabbed a little sooner there were about five defenders circling around it 15 yards on the play [Music] first possession of the second half narrator 1713 and here comes of all-out rush on Marino and they blow it there they see the grass marina was going down anyway so that is only the eighth time this year Moreno has been sacked and only the ninth time for the dolphin offense appropriately the man who got to remember 75 Holly long how he coming from the inside here Moreno almost got away there right there the official determined Moreno was in the grasp of how he long it literally tore his shoulder pad up had a hold of his shirt how he stopped because he heard the whistle by the way if you're gonna go down anyway he wasn't going to try to throw the ball how he has tremendous hand strength once he gets a hold of he doesn't let go big loss for the Dolphins 12 yard so at second and 22 [Music] RINO's of the air that one skipped short that's about as far off target at Marino has been the entire game mark dobra the intended receiver he just wanted to show us that he's human tech that was not a good path they're the numbers on Marino for the evening 200 yards even just as we break into the early part of this second half and he's well on pace for another three yard or 300 yard outing just 23 years of age Lanta through his when Moreno 3040 19 the future for this Miami franchise the third and twenty-two grow short but he had to get rid of it under pressure and perhaps the Raiders have done the one thing that very few of accomplish this year and that has been to pressure Dan Marino and break Townsend was right on top of the quarterback on that last row and he had to dump it off and it was short situation substitutions Breck Townsend from the right side of your screen watch him he'll blip into your screen right there Marino could not wait long enough for those receivers to open up simply unloaded the football and that's one of the reasons he had so few sacks he won't let you second pick to win to help it the wind has really died down so Roby won't get much benefit from a breeze and CLE Montgomery 41 49 of the Raiders Bruce partying company on the tackle only a 40 yard kick by row v 7 yard return and we have a time up 12:30 remaining third quarter Raiders with a ball and the lead this is today Chevrolet and this is today's Chevrolet the Chevrolet is specially modified for the International Race of Champions this is the new Camaro IROC z28 game is brought to you by today's Chevrolet see today chevy thrive today Chevy lived today Chevy maestro's and SPRO light fire brewed for smoother taste and by Avis if you hate to wait Yolo baby with Merlin Olsen Dick Enberg welcome back to the Orange Bowl - quality teams in a playoff environment in the Raiders leading 1713 over the favored Dalton for first time if therefore [Applause] [Music] the former Oklahoma star is out of bounds 45 the Sooners will be here in the Orange Bowl on NBC and some feel that if BYU stumbles a bit it might well be Oklahoma playing for the national title on New Year's Eve on New Year's night and at the bottom of your screen there Todd Christensen two BYU graduate and there's a man who is ready to come back into the ball game if needed Tom Flores said I'm not going to be hesitant about putting him into the ballgame and you got to wonder if maybe Plunkett isn't poised for another one of his miracle comeback he's the man he knows how to write the book he's been out since the sixth game of the season with that Christenson ketamine by Mark Brown but not until the Raiders have a first down at Miami 36 BYU battery there the Cougar is connecting Wilson to Christensen the emotion of those final seconds of the first half the tremendous surge by the Raider defense has really carried into the opening moments of this half he the other than the crowd you really can't you really can are the Raider defense shutting Miami down coming right back and moving the ball Marcus Allen 34 after a two yard game dunk betters he has been rather quiet today and that says a lot for Henry Lawrence a man who has been charged with blocking the outstanding defensive end of the Dolphins Lawrence they call him the killer working hard on Doug betters I really believe though that and duck better stand in Howie Long two of the finest if not the finest defensive tackles now they may not get the notoriety of a Mark Gastineau but believe me in terms of the Dean complete players playing to run playing the pass doing everything that's expected of them I think they do a heck of a lot more [Music] Christensen has another reception and abounds with thirteen more yards for Christiansen who's moving on that 70 catch mark for the year he has been productive to think that well I guess part of it was Leo Mazzone stubbornness he did not want to be a tight end he was a running back at BYU and when Dallas drafted him in the second round they suggested he become a tight end didn't want to let him go Giants had him for a while couldn't find a place for him and finally he was convinced hey maybe that's my spot boy where all the coaches right he is some tight in [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and down at the 10-yard line I believe that with jokes Williams out there helping him along was indeed and what a blessing speed is king starting to his right there was no hole the defense totally committed to that side King just stopped him it looked like he put on the brakes on both sides and just bounces back the other way tremendous reactions using his speed wild black with 42 there's Doki Williams he just got in the road over there William Jetson 49 and they have an important first down just inside the 10 yard line so first and goal will pull 10 yards for the Raiders Frank Hawkins for three radzinsky 59 on the bottom of the file of former Ohio State all-american and one of the better backers against the run former Los Angeles Ram came here after he quit the Rams in 80 born a New Year's Day and he well has celebrated his birthday in a football uniform several times Raiders have gone to there to tight end plan here with kafir in a wing situation just outside of Todd Christensen [Applause] there he is the other two notre dame yet six more on the board for the Raiders [Music] well the echoes goes to the post that's not really a true post pattern but this is what the Raider coaching staff put in to take advantage of the to tie down situation Gasper just sliding in from the right hand side you'll see him coming into the picture right there number 87 breaking open across the metal working on Charlie Bowser 56 the linebacker and Kasper is put six points on the board bar we'll see if he can put up a seventh it's good so Canford only three catches all year but two of those four touchdown and with 935 left in the third quarter Raiders 24 Miami 13 Papa just a record to be admired for and Oh against one of the Masters golden Walker deep on look at this and it should work the Raiders have recovered at the miami 49 yard oh they caught Miami with her back turned that of course the perfect opportunity to take advantage of a team totally unexpected or just kicking a little roller down the field and following in himself he almost fumbled it back to Miami and looked like he had trouble getting his sandal on it he just cast it right here and stays right on top of it actually three Raiders Jeff Barnes a blocker and he's the guy that got that big shot on the top of it the two Raiders who would ordinarily be the men to go down to break the wedge were actually assigned to be blockers in that situation running ahead of Bart to keep the defenders away from the football it went to necessary 10 yards actually was 12 yards downfield before that's got to be and almost like a pitcher hitting a homerun that's a big moment for a kicker perfect execution of the onside kick and it is most effective whether you do the unexpected [Music] first downs today first down play apparently down look at the average on those first down situation 14 plays with an average of 5.9 [Music] there's Marcus Allen and he's gonna better the average to more as he to the Miami 39 the Raiders certainly have momentum on their side and an 11-point lead on the scoreboard all it's an embarrassing moment for the special teams coach when that kind of play works however is the special teams coach for the Dolphins really the man himself Don Shula stuff is pretty hard to chew anybody else out I don't think the Dolphins have been this far behind all year Hawkins for a few Miami Dolphins they've lost only once and that was an overtime after Vaughn shaman missed a 44 yard field goal in San Diego that would have won it in the final seconds and the Chargers won in overtime the only defeat suffered by Miami interesting dick dude to Apollo the Raiders through this season early in the year they talked about the fact that they could turn it on when they wanted to they reach to the ghast a couple times didn't have it but segue here getting back into the swing inside move on a trap and nothing much there a gain of a couple would be third and five bomb power from Alabama down the bottom of the pile playing with that bad ankle but refusing to go to the sideline he was hurt actually in the San Diego game two weeks ago yet white huge tackle dome on the back of his leg will come out and this [Music] couple extra bodies in there to rush the passer thirty-six third seminar Wilson is over three and third down [Music] [Applause] in complaint intended for Barnwell who was injured earlier the apparently okay really Raiders go for a long field goal no ray guy comes into fun other late games Seattle leading Detroit 21 to 17 at the end of three quarters for Seattle knowing that Denver agency Barnwell limp off has lost at Kansas City in overtime and the Rams Lee 27 to 7 over New Orleans after three quarters and look like someone may have stepped on the inside of his leg it looked like their cleats had ripped right through into the back of his leg as he was heading for the sideline there but that pass was not well thrown Wilson timing of look was off on the play and he was kicking himself as he left the field so the in sidekick recovery does not lead to any further advantage for the Raiders gray guy aiming his punt and they will mark it at the 8 yard line the rifle shot for Jai was becoming better all the time putting that inside the 27 minutes 26 seconds remaining in the third quarter Raiders still leading by 11 [Music] with a shoulder injury on that time they were working on the leg but he appears to be okay eight yard line for Marino on the Dolphins they've got work to do 726 left third quarter [Music] [Applause] [Music] favorite clip to the ground mark Clayton Forrester days on the coverage turfs continuing to play an important role here graders had shifted their secondary playing both receivers on the wide side doubling up on him Seattle with a four point lead in the fourth quarter at the Kingdome and the Rams lead by plenty against New Orleans at home in Anaheim most games have progressed into the fourth quarter our game running slower than that ball we have about a five-minute delay at the very start of the game on the opening kickoff when Rodell Thomas the Miami Dolphin linebacker was injured and taken to the hospital with a neck injury we have no information to share with you [Music] fingertips of Tony Nathan and bounced out near nad more Mike Davis on the coverage Raiders overloading the right side of the Miami line putting Howie long over Stephenson to occupy him and able to stunt break alignment three was the pressure really that that forced the pass to be erratic here's an interesting down deep in their own end Marino on the Dolphins third and a full 10 for first down with a great pass offense but a Raider defense that certainly has been their match thus far Marino calls these third down situations with passing downs in himself to have six on third down in the game [Applause] there's this man Nathan 20 yard line if it's ruled a reception it is I asked Dan Marino why killers a lot in the Carlo's plays he said when you call a pass play there's so much terminology and he said by the time Shula repeats it to a messenger a messenger repeats it to me and I call a play and then we go to the line which simply cannot do that here's the shot from behind as marina obviously called a good play Nathan just cutting to the inside waiting till the last second again a timing pattern the kind of pattern that has been very successful with today unique position on the goal posed for that camera you saw the quickness of the armored Marie I lost this one between Nathan and mark duper and Moreno kisses the turf under pressure again graders coming aggressively with the blitz in a number of situations here and try and get additional pressure on Moreno he's probably been hit more today dick than in any other game he's played all year he's right about it he's over the 50% mark is he not for the game as we check the statistics he's been under 50% only once all year Moreno and that was against Indianapolis and he's 18 for 34 today they're the Blackwood boys while the senior in blend the younger brother to safety men for Miami or they look like Quinn well they're a couple of tough dude school [Applause] Moreno Goes Down and that will be logged as the sack can't help but wonder if maybe Stevenson didn't miss the count he was the only one moving everybody else moving after the fact that sometimes happens if a center blows the count gets a pulse up early very often a fumble was really will result in that kind of situation I understand that Eric Dickerson has has 1746 yards for the season he's over the 100 yard mark against New Orleans in three quarters today I know he is roughly right on pace for all Jays record it that was considered a run not a sack [Applause] [Music] important role Joe rose roses first catch of the game [Music] than McIlroy number26 played centerfield in most situations for this Raider defense dropping way off the ball trying to read the eyes of the quarterback areas in the center of your screen now you'll see Rose coming in at the top of your picture right there with areas right there and it's Otis McKinney 23 and McIlroy who finally come over to make the play but you notice how steep McElroy is they don't want to give the Miami Dolphins that long ball 19 yards to dig out of the hole on third down Moreno goes to work bricen [Applause] mark ladies 13th touchdown of the season almost an embarrassing moment for the young man from Louisville as he got a lucky bounce and a 64-yard touchdown the 8th of the year for Marino there was a collision between McIlroy and Mike Payne right here the two of them clashing together right on the heels of Clayton knocking each other off the tackle and Clayton has it all alone and he goes down and what a lucky bounce that ball bounced right up into his hand doing is celebrating a little early and I'm sure there'll be a small lecture from coach Shula during film time on Monday 92 yard drive engineered by Marino Rick Lee was a fan gentleman minutes and 57 seconds remaining in the third quarter the Dolphins are back within four let's look again at the reason for that play success it was McIlroy coming across and diving across at the receiver and bumping into Haines right there they literally knock each other off and premark played down the field and Clayton may have learned a lesson and lucky to get away with a six [Music] the mercedes-benz 190 class for 1985 so masterfully engineered that it can perform with the world's finest sports sedans and that makes it exciting we've showed a couple of tough plays on third down and plate in 64 yards on the payoff [Applause] [Music] gentlemen send great - these in the end we mentioned on NFL 84 that Reno now a 38 touchdowns this year the all-time record is to be applauded let's not forget the grace of the past and 25 years ago that man John Unitas in a 12 game season at 32 touchdown frozen his coach later was Don Shula now with Moreno and he had some interesting thoughts about the two men yesterday didn't would not compare the two believe me if Moreno can stay healthy if he can maintain skills that he has developed so quickly they will make a shambles of the records at a very young [Applause] when things start to go Lois teller you can feel the emotion kind of turning to the side of the Raiders really in this habit to the half and at the beginning of the second half great player we'll come forward to make the great plays and Moreno made the big plays on that [Music] [Applause] by Christiansen that looks like it had interception written all over it often in front and a dolphin behind it looked too tall and Christiansen just stole it away bowserhit Wilson just as he threw it Wilson throwing under tremendous pressure AJ Dewey the man who's covering Christiansen that ball had been an inch higher could never have been caught fact it would indeed have been intercept [Music] I really believe if he had asked the official but he could have gotten an official timeout in that situation as it is he has taken a Raider timeout back to play importantly in the fourth quarter we still have 333 left in this third period [Music] we might mention that the dolphins behind only three times at halftime one those three games they've been outscored only twice in the second half this season and once by the team that's see from the San Diego Chargers has took them into overtime and that magnificent rally by Dan Fouts and one of the best we've ever seen Manjula talking through their that picture John Sandusky the offensive line coach definition of a winner oh boy is that ever I think one of the things that makes him such a fine coach is that his love of the game shows through his concentration show through and he has a way of generating that kind of even pressure on his players they know they're going to have to perform at their peak if they're going to play on a Schule team there's good emotion without the pressure he's not a he's not the kind of guy that spends the whole week screaming and yelling at you but he is emotional during the games [Music] where [Music] [Applause] the referee for some [Music] normally this doesn't work well once you let the crowd know that they can control the game you've got a problem let's go back to Shula and what he said about unites just a complete that relationship the two things that he remembers most and admired most about Unitas one he said was his toughness he would always give his receivers the extra step because he would take the pounding even wait to the last second and the other is he really wrote the book Unitas wrote the book in the two-minute drill performed often against Shula when he was in Baltimore against the Colts I can vouch for both of those things and but again I think it's the combination good quarterbacking and good coaching and make sure [Music] the situation that many feel would be rectified if you could put a small receiver and transmitter in the helmet to the player I hope they work better than the mics we put on our [Music] [Applause] now golden Walker will drift back Ray guy to punch big plays early in the game by the Raider defense right there Chuck deadly defense came up with an extremely big thing AJ do a man first on the scene in that tackle now the Dolphins will have excellent field position from which to attack the Raider defense really shallow and does Walker all the way to the 15 and out-of-bounds at the 17-yard he was out of bounds when he lost the ball he lateraled that ball very dangerous maneuver not the kind of thing that Coach is going to be happy to see it's very dangerous great guy like a hitter looking at the centerfielder saying you're playing that shallow watch this one and here boomed 156 yards he Dallas and the Raiders Dallas already updated 156 with her wind today Miami and Dallas in a virtual tie for the best record Shula and Landry battling it out to [Music] down at the 17 and 2 week interesting [Music] Alzado pressuring and part of them equations that creates a successful pass play give the quarterback time to throw the fall Dwight Stevenson number 57 on the nose playing on Bill Pakal doing a great job so Cal who has become an excellent pass rusher could not get anywhere near the quarterback on that play sixteen yards to the 33 yard line Layton to the right we understand that that is now not a touchdown pass now they've changed it back okay it is a touchdown passed day we're going to say that was a fumble run [Applause] blasting to the 40 yard line at a gain of seven wid there was a contemplation that since Clayton in celebrating early fumbled the ball that that would not be a touchdown pass but a fumble run for such now now they've reversed their thinking and I think justifiably called it a touchdown pass the thirty eighth of the year Seattle opened its lead against the Lions to 14 in the fourth quarter that would give them sole possession victory first place as Denver was upset in overtime by Kansas City three themes either [Music] Martin number 53 missing the tackle on woody Bennett on the outside good blocking on the inside to pin down the radar defense the center Dwight Stevenson doing an excellent job on that play you'll see him right in the center of your screen on Reggie Kinlaw number 62 his job than cutting kid law off it's not only cut him off but got a second block on Matt Millen tremendous job now watch the play by Bennett running right out of the tackle of number 53 rod Martin Lake strength broke away and then showing some surprising speed for the room Dondre Franklin Bennett is the leading rusher for the Dolphins this year and that was his 23 yards [Music] territory I guess Nathan [Applause] [Music] see a quarterback ducked underneath the onrushing defensive lineman that's exactly what Tony Nathan did as swarek's tried to come over the top watch it yourself where it coming from the inside looks like a short tackle Nathan just ducks underneath his arms and heads upfield he picks up an extra 15 20 yards before he finally knocked down well you talk about Marcus Allen a great all-purpose player but so is Nathan he is really does the job for the Dolphins great pass receiver to at the 11 yard line and it's right for the lead Moreno has has served sound eleven yards 14 touchdown that to Miami record blatant breaking single-season mark the challenge continues wait man the man on Lester hey hey all over Clayton but Marino didn't care he threw the ball in there anyway and Clayton caught us what shade you can't cover much better man on man he's right on top of him but Clayton just goes up in the air right over the top of Lester Hayes and catches the ball anyway oh great coverage too for the extra point try which has always been and has been Salman trying to make a 2724 [Music] dog [Music] and after that onside kick by the Raiders when they had an 11-point lead were unable to move the ball boy Marino in no time at all in the third quarter has marched his team to two quick touchdown goal five half 49 for the year for some damn this one again shows what tremendous confidence he has the filly in his arm but also in his receivers and Mark Clayton you know Merlin he was the 29th wide receiver selected a year ago on the dresse 29 not a Louisville last year he caught six passes this year he has 13 touchdown catches he certainly drew some high praise from left her Hayes the man trying to cover him on that play he did I cannot believe the improvement that Clayton has made just since the preseason game when we played them earlier in LA I'm sure no one more discouraged by that play look at left her boy he is he is down is this game over yet 38 seconds left in the third quarter here's what Moreno has done down 24 213 it took him only 2 29 to go 91 yards and then 153 to go 83 yards and regained the lead 27:24 now it's the Raiders turn let's see if they can get themselves back into this ball game [Music] and then last Drive Marino 3 for 353 of the yards passing he's over 300 yards again third quarter isn't over through it [Applause] [Music] three points in the second half and thereby has walked his the country Turner - clay Montgomery for years through it one of the most sure-handed of receivers and suddenly turning to think about making that catch and I'm sure it's the mental process that got him baffled [Music] quarterbacked of the Raiders Hayes and Hanes trying to grab some air and wonder what can we do to stop this merino pacifist [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I think feeling they had apart in stopping that last drive again trying to get involved in this game and you see the dolphin players who know that this is not considered work and you know they get a kick out the dolphin players and they raise their hands as if it's almost a safe quiet but don't quiet I mean we want to play but don't really be quiet here we go [Applause] [Music] Mark Brown at the bottom of the pile 51 along with mom how're 73 well he is a bull in the middle of that defense two tight ends in the ballgame Dave Kasper you sign catch it passed earlier for a touchdown he's blocking in this situation really a tough blocker excellent blocker blocking on Charley Fowler over 50 [Music] the end of the third quarter here in Miami's Orange Bowl the score the Dolphins 27th the Raiders 24 and we'll be right back after these messages is brought to you by Mazda and the full line of sophisticated Mazda products by exceptionally smooth Michelob where you're going it's niccolò and by kodak when the moment means more trusted to kodak videotape [Music] at the start of this season folks looked at the schedule said the Dolphins will host [Music] [Applause] we open the fourth quarter with few chances he has not come up with when Blackwood was right there for Miami and that'll bring up third down and seven let's go through the scores who the day these are the finals early 16 13 that was not overtime but Kansas City winning at Lake 22:10 the Giants over the Jets Pittsburgh lost in overtime to Houston 23 20 final say Lewis upsetting New England 3310 at all but Knox New England out of the playoff picture Dallas wins at Philadelphia 26:10 will give you the rest of the scores over [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there's Kristen sent in a first down at the 32 yard line for the Raiders covered by Judson the rest of the score [Music] Buffalo winning at second 2115 as they held off a cult rally 35:17 the 49ers a 13 and 1 27 14 Green Bay Beach Tampa Bay 38:17 de prague and that game is thrown five touchdown passes the Seattle quarterback do de l'argent Sudha Turner [Applause] [Music] 24 the rain [Applause] ah currencies the open fragment of Defense old wonderfully well eleven yards for Alan running with real offenders literally leaping over the top tremendous shot great acceleration as you'll watch from behind when Alan finally makes the cut watch him right here he'll cut up inside and literally jump over the top look at the body control there they finally grab ahold of one more player he'd have been gone yards rushing for Allen who got a little extra help from Mickey Marvin [Applause] [Music] okay first sack suffered by the Raiders today the Miami Dolphins are not a blitzing team but they felt that what they were going to have to do some blitzing to get to Wilson today to break the concentration of the Raider offense grazinsky from his line backing position on the Blitz on that play able to get in successfully Wilson taking a little too much time could not find the open receiver taken to the ground normally expect for Dempsey to be a bowel Marcus Artie and at the bottom of that stack period 459 and the blob presenting this took Allen's feet up from underneath him Krasinski I think plays the run about as well as any linebacker at all a football doping up third down at about 15 we remind you this telecast presented by authority of the National Football League intended for the private use of our audience any rebroadcast or the use of this telecast without the express written consent the Miami Dolphins and the National Football League is [Applause] situation let's see if they come with a blister yes they do right there [Applause] sack of the year he leads to dolphins the bees are exploding 56 Bowser from the outside brown right there 51 and Fedders from the other side all three converging on top of mark.wilson he did not have a chance he felt the sting and here's guy to kick Walker back at the 18 a flag is down what a kick kick all the way to the tender Walker and he returns at sixteen yards [Music] 58 yard punt by guy [Music] signaling ly give me a captain where's the captain somebody here got to be able to make a call I think there was an offside against the Raiders five yards and pick over 11:46 remaining in the fourth quarter Miami about to get the ball again with a 2724 lead after they had seen the Raiders moved to a 24-13 advantage middle of the third quarter some interesting changes of emotional level of this game back and forth but I think looking back at this game perhaps the most important series of all was that tremendous Drive that Marino put together to kind of put his team back into the driver's seat they weren't they didn't go ahead with that Drive but they got back into the ball game got the crowd involved and the crowd has played a big role since that time so guy the veteran from Southern Mississippi once kicked the field goal in college of 61 yards a number one pick by the Raiders that raised some eyebrows back in 73 but what a buy that was Walker eases up to the 22 [Music] and enough back oh thank I was one of the black woods when Blackwood at the 33 yard line the penalty hurts the Raiders gain about 12 yards on the penalty only a 40 yard kick by guy here at the Orange Bowl will ever forget Helen Winslow and his 13 catches and blocked field goals and they dragged him off the field this is one of the easier moments for Winslow who became a star in that magnificent win against the Dolphins a couple of years ago isn't it time you experience the outstanding total performance of the Mazda rx-7 because only then can you know on the 2 marks against Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes they have cooked him a bit today I think applies over the top [Music] [Applause] when dangerously close to a possible interception about ten yards the Dan Johnson Wyrick made the defensive play for the Raiders and suddenly the Raiders have been unable to stop Moreno after they really eject him pretty effectively greater defense a big play defense they showed us that early in the ballgame they need a big play now they need a turnover they need to make something happen they've got to kind of get things going again for their team it's been this Raider defense that really has demonstrated the leadership over the last half of this season let's see what they can do in a relatively tough situation against the hot handed Marino on that last play Marino has no fear I mean that's an interception pass and yes he just throws it right in and complete this [Music] second in that much for a first town a reminder that this game running late so some of you will not see all of Silver Spoons tonight it's a great lineup on Sunday night and one of my favorites Paul Newman importat achi the Bronx is our featured film at 10 o'clock Eastern Time so we hope you'll stay right with us here at NBC as we come down to the wire we'll have Saturday telecasts the next two Saturdays as well as the full fare on Sunday is approaching the playoff jacket at issue marina doesn't gamble and maybe jokes with a long bomb here [Music] filled 48 yard line Matt Millen made the tackle [Music] or the Raiders this is what's at stake for them Miami's already clinched the playoff spot and the AFC East Denver losing Seattle is winning so they'll be 12 and 2 the Raiders at nine and four should they lose then New England's lost today at home against st. Louis well Patriots only be a game back and actually they have the advantage of the two tie if New England and the Raiders should tie at the end of the year New England Patriots certainly have some advantages on the schedule to the last couple of ballgames stuff as though the Raiders will have the Raiders have to go to Detroit on Monday night and then play Pittsburgh at home and the Steelers now are in their own dogfight that was a tough chance for Clayton he was trying to stay in bounds city just didn't have enough room with which to work because Lester Hayes had pinned him on the corner Monday night game against the Lions in Detroit and then the Steelers and that suddenly becomes a most important game the Dolphins were playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs go to Indianapolis and finish at home against Dallas the critical game undoubtedly for the Cowboys to close out the year so the whoever defies that wildcard concept certainly kept a lot of fans happy because so many teams going right down to the final weeks and week to decide whether they'll be in the place [Music] woody Bennett [Music] second year man from Rutgers the cow and Martin in on that tackle that's the kind of rough play that the Raiders need to start putting together one after another here they would still like to shake that football loose you know there was amazing stat in the last four games the Dolphins opponents had not fumbled the ball a single time I think in concentration your concentration against a tough opponent really improved the opponents in the last four games team Barba this game has not fumbled a single time not even recovered their own fumble in those four games just one today bar [Music] for Clayton the flag down way upfield I don't think it had anything to do with the action we saw and another in the backfield of the dolphin I think there may be a holding call and I believe this flag was an illegal pump deck that would appear to be the call from the far side but let's lift the officials sorted out Marino's bass hit Lester Hayes that looked to be in the back of the helmet now of course that's legal as long as he is not putting his hands up and waving them he's allowed to take that position holding on the offense foul on the defense we're gonna play it over no numbers given the man in the baseball cap is Don struck backup quarterback who plays a very important role on this team and it's really an unusual man a very bright football mind a man who has to play us a second team quarterback has to be ready to play every week without being able to take the bow struck struck tipped his head hearing you must have heard us on that place he also will send information in to Marino because he's got an excellent football mind and a great feel for defense [Music] or and he's tackled at the 50 bar short of the first down Marino unhappy another flag is down we're Moreno through the bowl here to be against Miami and that's the case the Raiders undoubtedly will decline [Music] hey John geese lair coming over it I talked to him he's of course responsible for keeping Alzado off of his quarterback and I said are you holding number 79 decline a penalty at fork town yes janji sir I'm talking about his job to keep Alzado off the quarterback I said are you worried about what albedo might do to you said I don't care let out they don't do anything he wants to me I just don't want him to hit Moreno of course his job to protect the quarterback and that that was not burst Davis as he thought he says I got to help my old pal Lee Montgomery let that one go take the Raider bound and 25 yard line so that can take a second look at Keesler working on that last play the officials detecting a holding call of Roby not at all happy [Music] how we go on this particular situation and he just had a hammerlock seven remaining in the fourth quarter the Raiders a field goal away from a time [Music] Cena's its regular time on the west coast and out in Hawaii but the rest of you after our game here from the Orange Bowl would be punky brewster Knight Rider Paul Newman starring in Fort Apache the Bronx at nine o'clock the campers with Merlin Olsen [Music] and now cross first the Raiders take the lead [Music] and it was Wilson extricate himself from the pressure and finding Doki Williams on a broken pattern we would guess 63 yards in a touchdown see the motion on the far side of the field and the official over to talkin but Doki Williams showing you that blazing speed Wilson trapped in the backfield was able to swing to the outside and let's watch Doki as he finally sees his quarterback in trouble and now breaks upfield William Judson 49 the man trying to catch up with him just does not have enough speed to match strides with Doki and Doki will carry it in for six points 75 yards officially on that throw [Music] very important extra point because that gives the Raiders more than a field goal lead it's now 31 27 [Music] again to look at Wilson here and I watch the pressure from the right side he literally is trapped here at bomb Howard 73 he gets away remembered mom our playing with that injured ankle could not keep stride with Wilson he gets the job done I sure like another stroke wait Alex to cold strokes almost nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter dick you can almost feel the emotion drain out of these fans they've been so high with the great comeback Miami Miami going ahead and responding to Marino's touchdown passes but that pass from Wilson and everything just went black and quiet here in this magnificent Stadium I made its jam full of people not a soul was left in routes one high and deep and pulled and walk [Music] dramatic running 20 actually crossed the 20 technically a 25-yard return for Walker gotta wonder if it's worth it for that one yard he gained beyond the 20 West Virginia Mountaineers golden Walker who had that Super Bowl record kickoff return for a touchdown against the Redskins at the Rose Bowl the Dolphins have not done well on the run back department this year I think in fact they're ranked last in that department in the NFL Vick Don Shula now has the ball in the mitts of his young quarterback Dan Marino can light up the board in a hurry as he showed us in the third quarter when the Gulf fell behind by 11 [Music] looking for Slaton there he is and not kind of bounds that they plant a flag was hit late in the judgments of the official lets her haze will get and that is 15 on to that one Don Shula right over to talk to Lester Hayes instantly Shula had complained earlier that Hayes was kidding late on the sidelines the officials right there on that play and they concurred as Clayton was clearly going out of bounds he's giving him the extra shot both wide receivers to one side of the field they come in motion they force lester hayes to come from the inside I don't know if I'm on the other I tell you fine if I'm on the Raiders side of the field I've got to be a little upset that Shula can put that kind of pressure on the official and I never says yet I don't think Clayton was yet out of bounds hard to tell from that angle penalty makes it a first down at the 41 plate heads in 40 yards and in fact for the second time the ball loose after the whistle bill Patel and Greg Townsend to those young defensive linemen for the Raiders making the play with 832 left in the fourth quarter of this Danny let's check elsewhere New York we go i dick in Seattle the Seahawks have taken sole possession of first place in the AFC West beating the Lions today Dave cranked through five touchdown passes this one a 51 yards to Daryl Turner at one point 12 1714 they come back to win going away all right fellas versa Craig had a 400 yard game last week against Denver so the young quarterback from Milton of Wisconsin is certainly finding his way a rather golden one here Seahawks are in first place Tony Nathan looking for the [Applause] team Sabbath saves a touchdown at the 44 a flag is down back at the line of scrimmage I'm afraid it's the flag that's going to negate that beautiful run explosive running by Nathan they're going to kit they're going to carry it all the way back and I think Ruth Ann McElroy Campbell angry well I don't think he was mad at Murray no I think he's mad at Clayton I think Clayton said something to him as he walked back flipping and maybe McIlroy said hey that's my career your plan was [Music] well I can't imagine a playoff game having more upstanding 83 on the offense certainly at a peek imagine going through 13 games with three set with eight sacks on the season here is 83 right here let's see what he did let's see if he did take McIlroy down from behind that's what McIlroy was mad about right there no question a clip and that's the kind of decision a young player occasionally will make and regret later on McIlroy is not the kind of guy to mess around with unusual for the Dolphins to have five penalties in the [Music] [Applause] [Music] the 15-yard clipping penalty not a ten-yard with 15 yards and so Lambie really working out of the hole on first down as you see the clock time remaining in the fourth quarter graders 31 Miami 27 bird down 16 and the crowd certainly is a different way it's very quiet Moreno knows how to get him back in the ball game and he can do that he is such an explosive quarterback of course he have great tools to work with [Music] [Applause] my game down it's a 15-yard line and there's an all-pro cornerback [Music] 56-yard unofficially on the return to go with a 97 yard touchdown return in the first quarter Jimmy cephalo number 81 the intended receiver and Mike Haynes had a good jump on the football he'll be outside on this play you should see him right there he read it all away left his man cut inside left duper number 85 and just stole the football for Jimmy cephalo upfield showing some good running skills New England they said this young man could have been a running back could have been a wide receiver enough skilled of it who literally to do anything he wanted to do that he's leading all runners in the entire game 153 yards Marcus Allen hammered and then takes a little extra shot to the face bar good old Hellmuth that one just paid for itself Otis McKinney out of breath after helping my canes downfield look at both those guys look at all the oxygen there they're all working on the oxygen over there we talked about the humidity even though the Sun has been down for a long time it is still a hot and humid night and believe me those defensive backs are doing tonight [Music] second and eight was over the 1000 yard mark for the season doesn't get the first down yardage out of bounds seven human a kafir continues to throw excellent blocks it's interesting in this to tight end situation he's actually got Todd Christensen blocking prisons and doesn't really like the block but Casper has been doing such a great job of blocking that Christensen almost by comparison had to start blocking in their juicy Lankford on that Blake Casper knocked him down then Hawkins came out knocked him down again and he still got in on the tackle the cornerback for Miami [Music] outside he walked it in the sixteenth touchdown of the season for Marcus Allen our NBC sports I'm stopping him as he goes to the end zone he was skidding over in that concrete area or sharp area trying to stop his momentum Martin waving a so digit to the fans and say hey we're number one will prove it right here 607 build a lot of time left in this ball game this might be an opportunity if you could get into block that extra point to make something happen here for the for the Dolphins [Music] is good so after the interception Mike hands and boys he played an important role in this game three alan runs and the 15 yards consumed the last six on this scamper through the right side untouched Marcus Allen gives the Raiders a 3827 leave Allen threading his way through the crowd where excitement still become on NBC silver soon to uh spoons will be seen out of azuz my favorite out of Hawaii Punky Brewster Knight Rider and Fort Apache Ron Paul Newman like to have you stay with it then like Fort Apache the Bronx where it has the theme of Miami and the Dolphins trailed by 11 by derekjjensen the captain of the Raiders special teams the man who blocked that punt in the Super Bowl that led to the touchdown for the Raiders that got them going toward their Super Bowl title last year number 31 what a great job he has done right in the middle of your screen this blows by everyone all by himself a one on one tackle here takes down an elusive runner pulled Walker Walker looked like he was running at full speed and maybe that loose turf out there making it difficult for those runners and receivers to make that quick tactic needless to say the 38 points surrendered by the Dolphins today the most scored against Miami this year 38 27 but the way Moreno can move applause and he starts from the shotgun [Applause] [Music] before Mike Haynes can make them tackle rod Martin assistant Reno here is 23 in a second year already with the presence he knows he has to score twice he is in one field goal one touchdown even won't do it to touchdown he's only got five and a half minutes he's saying let's not waste a second coming quickly back now by allowing Moreno to call those third down plays and I'm sure he's calling the plays in himself himself in the huddle here all panting play they can get them off much more rapidly dick 15 yards on that last play Moreno world at that ball gets through Lester Hayes he can't believe it Lester saying the Clayton put his arm back and I believe he did I think Clayton actually used his arm to push off a little bit watch him just after he makes the cut just a little shove right there making enough room for that ball to drop through but the officials didn't catch it what a throw first down at the 49 20 more yards from Marino who's over the 400 yard mark your oohs picked up a few more of his pocket jeans for Marino gets knocked down pretty hard himself by Sean Jones on every play this Drive Marino has either been hit or pressure tremendous pressure generated by the Raider defensive line they are just coming relentlessly on Marino until the numbers 424 pr's more for Marino good he's gonna break Dan Fouts single-season record and no one thought they'd touch bowed to which he threw for almost over 4,700 yards a couple years ago like Davis being attended to by the doctors and trainers he is hard to tell what's wrong yeah we're just a moment ago the Lyle black with we we mentioned that he had a cramp in his leg he will be probably out of the ballgame and apparently cramped up again a calf problem for him something he's suffered with over the past week that's a break for the Dolphins in one sense if the Davis won't be on the field for a play and also it stops the clock without the Dolphins having to spend a timeout 4:30 left and it will be second and six from the Raider 46 it also allows coach Shula an opportunity to have some input as to what play will be called next weekend don't forget there's a Saturday game Buffalo and the Jets and then on Sunday Seattle Kansas City the Chiefs and a spoiler roll Cincinnati back in the thick of things in New Orleans Patriots still alive against Philadelphia Miami at Indianapolis we'll be out in Denver Mile High Stadium to see the Chargers and the Broncos and Houston in the RAM to get a wild-card spot right out of the hands of my cane I thought he was going to have his third interception we build that speed on speed the two great wide receivers the two great quarterbacks that they have battled hit the head all day you see again Hayes letting him go in the side that's an unusual thing as Newport wanted to lateral at football he wanted to talk didn't find anyone first down going for it all they're super yeah there's a flag down at the line of scrimmage Howie long has put tremendous pressure on this dolphin offensive line a number of calls today have gone against the people trying to keep him away from Moreno this one was illegal motion that it all furry Noah said a 17 original record most broken a game that last log the way he likes to get in here let's go back to that point on long and as a defensive lineman you can so well appreciate how one player that has the the quality the long can really chin here's a discipline team that doesn't create too many penalties the Dolphins innate they've had to go to that to stop him well even that penalty which was a motion penalty was on John Giesler the man trying to block on how he longed and what he was trying to do was get back quick enough so that long couldn't get around to the outside so what the Holy Family was definitely caused by his pressure on marina for the Dolphins 333 left [Music] by otis mckinney inhibit remark kenny is build so much another penalty flag down and he looks like he and my canes could trade wardrobes we've got a penalty call i believe against the readers stops the clock with 328 left in the fourth quarter lined up in the neutral zone how he long not a perfect night nobody's perfect all but two Raiders in this game have distinguished themselves you know now why they are consistent Pro Bowlers in all pros Mike Haynes and Keenan Howry lon and who's gonna have her vote against Dan Marino's the top quarterback of the AFC that's against the Dan Fouts and all the rest of the panel [Music] here comes partner if I pick el martes drawl smart call by Moreno he's had so much pressure when you're getting that tongue he's getting that kind of pressure a couple of things you can do you can run the draw play you can run this screenplay this is a little screenplay trying to go up the middle the Cal right the middle your screen up in front of Nathan if he is been able to wait as Nathan had been able get that ball I think he would have had excellent yardage and Patel realizing alignment stream was waiting for him an interception a chance to run a pounding the ground anyone to hear you when you pound the ground like [Music] some of the umbrellas in evidence so a light rain falling the Raider 34 you need to touch down [Music] Oh down the middle the roll [Applause] another flag is down however and this could be against Miami it appeared that Newman might have moved before the snap one of the things that someone will what see it also appeared to me that one of the wide receivers may have tried to get a little jump Mike Haynes is putting so much pressure on on the outside that the receivers trying to get away and Jill Rose too got a bad shoulder you see him that's exactly what we talked about earlier Keesler trying to get back to protect his quarterback how he long putting so much pressure on it but he's trying to jump the count a little bit and nail him again set a first and goal up to five another long moreno game it's second down in 15 and here comes Jim Jensen you've got to watch him number 11 is there all purpose he can play tight in wide receiver he's the third string quarterback not player on special teams and sometimes though throw a little trick play out there when Jensen's in the lineup let's plot where he's located he's on the tight end side near side number 11 you can see him he's got the clean uniform I think he had that in mind George came to Carter to the 33 where it'll bring up third down and eight or nine now a long again putting pressure on Marino counting down to three minutes Marino has got to explode here right now the Raiders playing the clock dick [Music] in a crowd to war incomplete and that'll bring up a fourth and everything fourth and eighth because if marina on the Dolphins can't make a first down here it's all but over 247 left and that goal line stand at the end of the first half were the Dolphins tried three times from the one-yard line and then gambled running and ran themselves right out of the half may well be one of the many important points that will be chopped Flores on the left Earl leggett the man on the right he should be taking a bow it's his defensive line that's made life so uncomfortable here in the second half for Dan Marino tremendous pressure they've applied to a deck and that's been the difference in this half he has not had time to cut them apart he's had the unloads of all before he's been ready to do it [Music] and he gets the first down Gary Jensen at the 20-yard line how many times is this young Moreno come up with a clutch play third and fourth down the quarterback that many are comparing Moreno to is is Joe Namath and it's that quick release that rifle relief you'll see it here when Jensen opens up you'll see Moreno right there that ball is in the air before the final cut a rifle shot of course the penalty is refused ball will be inside of the 20-yard line is Jensen who broke all of the great Harry again misses records at the Boston University he plays tight in quarterback wide receiver he's the snapper special teams and also works pretty well in the guitar and harmonica anything else probably clicked a pretty good awkward - 41 lat leave us on the Blitz but he gets it off and that more [Music] - 31 - 30 left 10 more yards for Marino he's working on a possible 500 yard day the ability to react instantly the Blitz was on Mike Davis coming from the outside Marino read it acquired that ball out instantly the receiver knew what he had to do they pick up the first day 450 yards passing for Marino [Music] passes for Marino and Tom flora says will lift game ever in [Music] you saw Moreno burned Lester Hayes on the right side he comes back in a similar situation throws to a well covered Mike took mark Cooper right over the top of 22 mark Haines it stains right there leaning back he's all over the receiver can't do nothing to stop it a perfectly thrown ball at a great catch 86 yards in 10 plays boy Marino has put him on a 91 yard mark 83 yards 86 yard marches four touchdowns in the second half driver point by Vaughn shaman it was in this spot in the first half where he had one block and that is a very important play in this game because that had not been blocked it would be a field goal game a flag is down instead the Dolphins have to get the ball back and score a touchdown not a field goal one of the advantages lineup the neutrals going the point is good five yards the pickoff where do you think we'll see an onside kick here they've got all three timeouts left in 209 remaining 38 34 what a game [Music] let's go back to the big play the extra point try the second touchdown of the Dolphins this would have made it 14 to 7 Miami watch 99 in the middle of your picture Shawn Jones gets that left hand up and that now forces Miami to think touchdown not field goal let's think with Shula for a second here do you try the onside kick or do you kick it deep and give your defense an opportunity to go after the greater offense there Shawn Jones on the sideline he's been playing a great deal in the defensive line youngster out of Northeastern has really made a strong adjustment to the game had a lot to learn but is coming on they're very proud of him in the Raiders side of the field I'm sure they're proud of him for what he's done tonight you know it's the room the Dolphins get the ball back and should get it back deep in their own end the way Moreno is going believe it or not that long time record of norms and Brocklin most yardage pads in a single game could be in jeopardy but it would take the right circumstances John Xiamen will he kick it deep the Raiders don't think so they're setting up for a possible onside loading up on the left side there it is on sidekick McKinney appear to fall on it for the Raiders the ball was free at one time one see who came up with it I'm sure they're fighting for it at the bottom of that stack the Raiders come up with the ball [Music] Otis McKinney after Dave Kasper unable to tick it off as it for the Raiders at the Los Angeles 43 with 203 remaining so the Dolphins have the two-minute timeout plus their own three left an excellent onside kick by Vaughn shaman what you want that ball to do is take a nasty hop at the end like a bad hop for a baseball player there it is came right up Casper got his hands on it couldn't control it the ball took a lucky hop right in there in the hands of McKinney but it wasn't McKinney who came up with it finally and look who is it I can't stuff who ended up with it but I don't think it was a kid he ended up at the bar [Applause] [Music] great ahead and there's the timeout at the 2-minute 159 it comes quickly brush up the all-time NFL record is 554 yards passing second is 509 all-time and Marino's already at 450 here's another fantastic finish alcoa presents fantastic finishes 1982 Cleveland's Brian Sipe uncorks a looping do-or-die pass that looks like it will be intercepted by the Eagles but no is Solan for a touchdown by Ozzie Newsome of the round Cleveland fans rejoice with less than a minute to go but Philadelphia roars right back with only 25 seconds left hard running Lee Roy Harris steamrollers Eddie Johnson and lunges into the end zone a sweet win for Dick Vermeil Jeffrey's helping drive but understands he's been watching the game and will be able to enjoy a Punky Brewster and progress after the conclusion of this game if indeed it ever ends it's 38-34 Raiders and they fill a ball [Applause] there was that moment he hesitated no stay in bounds take the short game and the timeout fall by Miami they have two left and that stops the clock with 152 remaining his coaches along the sidelines they would love to see a fumble right now right now Miami hanging onto that football next Saturday the Indiana Hoosiers and the Kentucky Wildcats an outstanding collegiate basketball game on NBC the seasons change from America's heartland to our gleaming cities young men and those who inspire as well as coach gather for a reaffirmation of a truly American sport this season's come home to college antics will the Raiders cross paths here to try to get the first down [Applause] the Raiders escort again his third of the game [Music] and the pressure is off on the Raider sidelines tremendous reaction to Alan as he started to his left that whole Miami defense anticipating the run started to their right Alan registered that made a quick cut back against the grain and jumped one player and he was gone tremendous vision watch him starting to the left here now sees the defense overreacting and just uses his speed to break it away and take it to the end zone what a player Marcus Allen 156 yards rushing three touchdowns to extend his NFL leap to 17 touchdowns this year talk about great players making the big play in the big game empar adds extra point would you Apple leave when we walked in the stadium today that the Miami Dolphins would give up 45 points to the Raiders statistically the Dolphins defense has not done well in many categories but one of the categories they've been very strong in his points allowed they were right with the Denver mote and earlier I think they were I think they ranked fifth coming into this ball game they will not be there after this game and there is Allen look at how the whole defense had overreacted to that play which started out to their right and Allen could see that and was able to use his speed to take advantage of it certainly in the modern Don Shula era forty five points would probably challenge a negative record for the Dolphins we have seen the only two defeats for this dolphin team on the year stick both of which have been high-scoring explosive games in which the Dolphins have played exceedingly well but have been outscored this is the team that's fifth in the entire league in least points alone and fought Brzezinski one of the men who overreacted and I you know that's a tough thing they just wanted to make the play on market don't wander away because with Dan Marino about to come out even though it's 45 34 Marino who has already really rewritten lis most touchdowns in a season mark with four more to give him 40 for the year but he's going to have a chance of 80 yards of field to work on norm van Brockton's long-standing record of most yards passing in the game 45 points sure Tom Flores who has been concerned about his office and their ability to score extremely pleased by what they've done today the man who should take a bow on that far sideline Bob DeMuth defensive coordinator for the graders he's been calling the defense's on I'm sure right now reminding all of his troops stay deep keep everything in front of you make them work their way down the field they'll give Marino yardage here and I'll try to keep him from taking the bigger he starts with a triple right mattemore mark wait man set low all to the right him yeah he's already to the 50-yard line crow short and him completed probably a wise drop by Carter not that he thought of doing that because that would have kept the clock running and they only had about five yards anyway Lester Hayes back about 25 yards McElroy won't even go back to the huddle the prevent prevent is in there now dan Marino at the moment has 470 yards passing Drake brood and Marcus Allen crew to his second to Johnny Rodgers for the Heisman back in the early 70s Marcus too wanted at USC what we've seen some brilliant plays today [Music] Gregg Townsend another one as he sacks Moreno at the three yard line that's the third sack of Moreno who had been sacked but seven times all season long so that was part of the Raider game plan they had to pressure Marino and they did they came into this game dedicated to getting pressure on the quarterback the top sackers you see them there Martin long the Cal Townsend Davis that would bite ounces number 93 we've talked about him all along earlier in the game Martin I don't believe have won today pick el definitely a forced in the pass rush lock running and the dolphins taking their time that sack really put them in a third and 27-hole [Music] down and complete in the endzone so forth and 27 at your three yard line 101 left not many play calls for that so updating the playoff picture with two weekends to go plus the Bears at San Diego tomorrow night Miami is clinched the East they'll go to 12 and to Denver loses today to Kansas City so Seattle jumps in front of them for the AFC West but Denver has already clinched a wild-card so they are in the playoffs the Raiders ten and four will take a two-game lead over New England and all but assure themselves the wild-card berth so it looks as if it'll be all West in the AFC two Western teams in the wild-card and row B will laugh to bunt from deep in his own end zone [Music] just let this one roll they won't worry about it Roby tries the line drive it didn't get all of it just let that football lay there through the 43 yard line where the readers found the ball with 49 seconds let's go back to the end of the first half the Raiders led at that time and the Miami Dolphins had the ball at the one-yard line and three chances and this is the last with nine seconds left they don't go for the pass they try to run it and Pete Johnson diving in and you see the penetration from all the defensive linemen underneath linebackers concentrating on the play and how he long lets you know right there they did not make it in now to New York all right besides the game you and Merlin are describing from the Orange Bowl there were two other late games today in the NFL the first one saw Seattle with five touchdown passes from David Craig defeat Detroit 38:17 at one time Detroit held a 17-14 lead Seattle is now one-eighth neuro and as you mentioned earlier they had the AFC West lead alone now at twelve and two the Rams pounded New Orleans 34 21 on the other game Eric Dickerson had a hundred and forty eight yards he needs 224 to pass OJ dick so things are interesting in Los Angeles the Raiders with us win today Eric Dickerson Mark Wilson who had his rough spots early but certainly is played very well in the late going one has to wonder why it is that the Dolphins do not match up well against this Raider team and I think one of the reasons is because the Raiders basic philosophy is playing physical football they want to come out there and they'll challenge it with their people and their execution the Dolphins traditionally have wanted to play a position game more of a finesse game and I think that that kind of game suffers when it's matched against a very physical team and indeed this has been a most physical game Tom Flores will be five and Oh against Don Shula and the Raiders will be fourteen three and one against the Dolphins and the only team in the NFL with a winning record in the Orange Bowl as a visitor five three and one and Tom Flores the understated head coach of the Raiders he quietly does his job and maybe a lot better as a head man and head master than he is given credit al Davis so often for the building of the team and even the coaching of us but Tom Flores obviously makes a major contribution we've watched the graters through their up and down season and some big losses as well as this big victory of their trip home on the aircraft tonight back to Los Angeles will obviously be one of celebration and great happiness productive day of New England losing earlier so that gives the Raiders a two-game lead over the Patriots for that aft wild-card spot we have a chance let's just go right through how this game developed we have timed we have another half hour to recap all the story it all started with Dan Marino throwing a pass a team to intercept it for a touchdown 97 yards and record-breaker Marino to cephalo to tie it at 7 all they came back to make a 13-7 on a Nathan run but that's where the extra point was blocked Allen 11 yards the first of his three touchdowns the Raiders have to lead 1413 they drop on it again now the clock will run no more timeouts left for the Dolphins this team is in the book and the Raiders have won it develop bar with a field goal of 44 yards the goal line the Raiders came back and it's ease on back and forth reception William with a long that may offend another here play the real back burger so Marino and how a long who saw each other many a time during the course of this game and long pressuring the brilliant young quarterback Marino sets the all-time record now has 40 touchdown passes but it's an empty mark for Don Shula in the Dolphins because they go out a loser only the second time this year and the Los Angeles Raiders the Superbowl champions have shown that they certainly are a team will be watching carefully in the playoffs again 45:34 will be back in the Orange Bowl in just a moment
