1985 Week 14 Miami at Green Bay

don shula and his reaction to the weather we know that anything can happen weather-wise we played in three cold games this season practice in a blizzard we have to be prepared for any condition for green bay when they practice they can move indoors they practice them outdoors to make sure the weather but they can practice indoors and uh their coach bar spray opened all the doors indoors so the players would not forget what the weather conditions were how cold it really was and the players were not that thrilled al del greco green bay will be kicking off lorenzo hampton is the deep back on the return for the miami dolphins [Applause] lambeau field green bay wisconsin with light snow flurries and hampton at the 11-yard line 2-20 and returns to the 29-yard line john dorsey was there for green bay let's look at the offense dan marino the quarterback number 13 with tony nathan and woody bennett the two running backs and the pair of marks duper and clayton the wide receivers bruce hardy the tight end that offensive line john giesler is going to start still is the mean problem we're not you just go as long as he can foster stevenson clark and lee and as those of you that follow the damage noise kind of a makeshift offensive line as they have all kinds of injuries tony nathan nathan to the 38-yard line it'll be second down and a yard to go for the first down a pickup of nine yards on the play let's look at that defense for the green bay packers with alfonso carricker donnie humphrey and ezra johnson that's the basic front three the four linebackers anderson scott noble and douglas and the secondary for the backers mark lee jim lewis mike murphy and tom fuell second down and a yard to go woody bennett bennett leads to the 40-yard line he's got two in the first down mike douglas and randy scott bring him down we mentioned that john giesler offensive tackle number 65 has a knee problem john giesler did not practice all week long there you see him 79 on ezra johnson and then woody bennett picks up the first down he did not practice all week long and up until last night it was doubtful that he was going to play but he knows that they're in the hunt and he's going to play as long as he can first down miami the ball of drone 40 yard line ball game just underway we're a minute and 25 seconds into the action it will play action fake you cannot be more open they pushed the coverage deep because of duper and tony nathan was wide open and he would have run clear to the 50-yard line and drop the ball and that may be one of the things hurting miami because of the conditions so it's second down and tim don johnson checks in and tied in for the dolphins [Music] reno gives ground fires passes completely fumble and the packers have the ball randy scott recovers the fumble mark murphy called it mark murphy caused the fumble and randy scott recovers big turnover reno's dropping straight back now they're covering both outside receivers has good protection he lays the ball off to duffer dupa is going to try to pick up the first down he's being tackled right now and the ball pops loose and 55 randy scott recovers the fumble and it was mike douglas who caused the fumble green bay at their own 49. jim zorn the quarterback pushdown langford with the tackle miami's 39 a gain of 12. offensively jim zorn replacing lynne dickey nikki has the next spasm running backs eddie lee ivory jesse clark james loston and philip has two flyers on the outside and paul kaufman excellent tight end swanky moran cannon holstrom and cook that offensive line for green bay you're going to mark it at the 40-yard line rather than the 39. second down and three and hugh green makes the tackle let's look at the dolphin defense facing three four set will be doug bettors mike charles and kim bull camper the front three the linebackers ruzzinski brophy brown and green and in the secondary langford jetson blackwood and brown second down and three and we have whistle sound mark brown has hurt my inside linebacker from miami and they're going to get a timeout number 51 and he's going to be replaced by number 50 uh jackie chef jackie ship and this is an entry timeout not charged through the miami dolphins so they like the green bay packers will retain three timeouts and we will try and have an injury report on mike brown just as soon as possible in the meantime jim zorn came to the sideline a quick conference with boris greg and he comes back out second down at three jesse clark and eddie lee ivory are the two running backs play action fake they fake the delay from the corner good coverage by william judson philip f's the attended receiver it'll be third down and three as we bring it back to the 33. it's a play-action pass and jim's on lets it go the ball is thrown deep to the outside now watch judson go up and epps actually had an opportunity to catch that football and dropped it would have been an outstanding catch would you like to see receivers make those plays in the end zone third down and three two tight ends of the offensive set fire sideline pattern is complete first down at the 21-yard line lofton pulled it in and lankford had the defensive coverage right at the 21. gain of 12 yards report on mike brown a peach nerve in his neck and he should return first down green bay trying to capitalize on the first turnover picks up six yards to the 15 it will be second down and four as jay brophy brings him down well the intention of green bay right now is to run the football that's going to help jim zord and they're going to throw some play-action passes and just maximize jim zorn's patience because as we said on the top miami has had problems defending the run all year long gary ellis checks into the office in set and eddie lee ivory comes out so it's clark and ellis the two running backs first down goal to go clark follows 65 ron halstrom who looks like a grand piano and he knocks jake ruffy right out of the hole and green bay is going to run this football until miami stops it and that may take three hours eddie lee ivory back into the ball again so ivory and clark put you running back eight yard line first down goal to go the defense is there clark brought down by jackie chef and the first really big defensive play for the dolphins in the ball game jackie ship broke through clean on the blitz they were trying to blow up green bay's running game and that's a big play and green bay now needs to make sure they protect to come out of this fumble with at least a field goal loss of two to the ten second down goal to go goes down at the five so his third down goal to go at that point and william judson was right there for miami and is that's a true speedster he has run while he was in college at tcu and electronically timed 10 1 100 meters and electronically timed 20.1 200 meters [Music] five nine and a half hundred fifty-five pounder again two tight ends with the offensive set third down goal to go five-yard line remaining back is jesse clark zorn will be as thrown has to get rid of it too soon kaufman was the short receiver f's the deep receiver on that side and the field goal team comes in we'll take another look walk off and you can see now it takes an inside release they like to go to the tight end here he bounces off glenn blackwood but the ball is thrown too high had he hit kaufman he might have worked his way into the end zone and now after the duper fumble green bay has an opportunity to pick up a field goal 23-yard field goal attempt mark cannon to snap jim zorn to hold al del greco to attempt and it is good from 23 yards away we've got a timeout and the green bay packers have the lead 8 55 left to go we're in the first quarter green bay three miami nothing this is charlie jones sandra taking out here at lambeau field yesterday sam we were watching the snow clean up i watched it they had uh they waited till the end of the week in case there was some more snow and then they cleaned everything they cleared everything out on saturday and the field is in excellent condition today and this is a slide that just kind of slide the snow down put in the aisles slide it right down below the seats and then carry it out i'm trying to go down and slide myself but i don't have a ticket aldo greco kicking off and lorenzo hampton at the six-yard line with a 20-25-30 great return just what miami needs here preston denard of the green bay packers took him out of bounds at the 44 yard line 38 yards on this return hampton feels the ball inside the tent now watch him take it up and find the crack and there's the crack right there he's got good speed causes a miss and brings the ball up to the 45-yard line for great for miami way better five yards from the 44 to the 49 second down to five randy scott with the tackle now sam we've seen two plays for miami when they had the ball in office their first opportunity a drop pass and a fumble both attributable to the weather conditions no question about it we talked earlier that you just can't simulate these conditions and miami has not practiced in it all week long and green bay has and it's already hurt miami dade johnson tight in in the ball game second down at five [Music] reno has time mass is complete for trooper and he is right at the first down marker he may have it brian noble was their character was there and now let's go to ahmad rashad for an nfl update well it was a little low but a scoreless ball game there here you see green bay capitalizing on the turnover randy scott recovered the bubble and in the field goal by aldo greco from 23 yards out and that makes it a three nothing ball game and it is a first down reno finds cooper right on the sideline and he had the first down circles back to the inside and he stayed there and turned to the outside it's always good for a receiver to turn to the outside because there are no defenders there he would have had his first down so he got it both times lorenzo hampton comes in tony nathan comes down to the offensive center green bay 46-yard line the second back through is hampton and he is decked by ezra johnson he'll get a yard to the 45 it'll be second down at nine we talked about the weather conditions we've talked about the early effect of the ball game i remember when larry zaka was playing for the dolphins he told me that in november and december when teams came to miami they always felt that they could win because they had worked in the heat of the humidity and in the fourth quarter the other teams would will so it was a mental advantage as well as a physical advantage here i think green bay has that same thing that same kind of advantage just to reverse the weather conditions they're used yard line 17 yards on the play john anderson with the tackle and mark duper pulls it in at the 28th mourinho is dropping back and he's going to roll out now to his left he gets some pressure turns johnson inside now this is what he does best he finds open receiver he has great presence and he sees the entire field miami trying to move 56 yards to take the lead of the ball game he's guided at throwing 44 with an excellent return by lorenzo hampton and here's tony nathan back in the action and he has three yards to the 25. it'll be second down and seven as john anderson makes the tackle dan johnson comes in bruce hardy comes out rotating the tight ends in the offense of the miami dolphins five minutes and 40 seconds that is the time remaining here in the first quarter it is green bay three and miami nothing they mark the spot at the 26 so it's second down in eight this coming is cut off mourinho can run for the first half he slides he may have needed to take another step brian noble the rookie from arizona state was there to cover the market at the 20-yard line so it'll be third down and actually about a yard and a half to go for the first down mourinho was going to clayton to his right now everything is rolled right to the inside he sees an open field should i shouldn't i yes i am but now i'm gonna slide there's no way in the world i'm gonna get any contact with those green jerseys and of course with the rule changes you slide feet first the defense has to stay off of the quarterback i like that third down about a yard and a half to go for the first down over the top is tony nathan i don't think he made it johnny humphrey was there to meet him it's going to be close and if he had if he didn't make it i think schuler will go for it rather than the field goal attempt offensive line now has to have a good surge have to have a good surge and 90 stuffs the hole ezra johnson although he didn't make the play he had a lot to do with the stop and randy johnson was there to cover right randy scott coming right up over the top it's going to be inches they're going to go for it i believe they'll go for it fourth down less than a foot [Applause] these are the three teams in contention east the jets in new england new england leading no scorch at buffalo and here miami trailer fourth down an inches the short yardage specialist the rookie from louisville picks it up mark lee makes the tackle and that's what you have to have you have to have that big strong back 30 as he bounces to the outside to pick up that critical yardage miami has been missing that since they lost larry zonka and i believe it was a good call because if it comes time in the game it's okay to gamble you just have to know when to gamble it goes for a gain of three to the 16 and it's first down miami trailing three nothing with three minutes and 24 seconds now left in the first quarter all the time in the world drops it off to hampshire gain of three to the 13 john anderson outside left linebacker was there second down and seven let's check the scoreboard see what else is going on today so many i think every game counts today what is this cincinnati 16 and dallas nothing in the first quarter what that has that has connotations to all teams saint louis seven who only is nothing at st louis he's having a terrible year kansas city seven atlanta that may be the only game that doesn't count today exception to coaches you're right second and seven reno again with great protection part clayton pulls it down at the 10-yard line gain of three will be third down and four the strong safety mark murphy out of west liberty was there it was a delay and marino waited for the possibility of going deep watch mourinho now he's looking to go deep to his tight end now he finds do a clayton to the outside throws the ball a little too high makes a nice catch he probably would have been able to run for first down had he thrown that ball a little lower third down and four 10 yard line for them to go to nat moore number 89 over the middle touchdown tony nathan he slipped away from the linebacker they doubled both outside receivers tony nathan was it tony nathan was an inside receiver they're in a shotgun formation both outside receivers are being doubled now watch nathan now beat carrick 66 for touchdown what happened there is they must have been blitzing linebackers and alfonse carricka had coverage on the running back and mourinho has tremendous vision and he saw him for the touchdown extra point attempt by flying rivez is blocked so the score remains miami six green bay three with one minute and 48 seconds left to go first quarter let's go back to the extra point attempt struck has the ball down now watch rivage watch how he hits the ball and watch the trajectory the ball should be going up right now and it does it does not and i believe the kickers trajectory cause the block and that may stare them in the face he got it too high on the ball so it stayed lower than being underneath the ball and going up that's right he should have hit the sweet spot and if you get too high on the ball the ball doesn't go up as fast as it should be is kicking off to either epps or ellerson and it'll be taken by philip f here he goes hope he can fly 42-yard line jackie's ship got it but the packers have great field position is lightning all he needs right now is for everybody to get out of his way now watch he finds the crack gets an excellent block the kicker's not going to make the tackle whoops the kicker helps me all right 36 yards on the kickoff return by f first down at the 42 jesse clark the remaining back packers trailing for the first time in the ball game episode motion and clark again running to the right side a gain of seven to the 49 yard line bud brown with the tackle pulse from as far as greg's type of offensive lineman watch him pull right now and wham right there he knocks the linebacker down bob rozzinski and they get eight yards on the play green bay continues to run and they continue to run to their offensive right second and three eps in motion to the left side and they come back again running to the right side this is eddie lee ivory and he has a yard to the 50. it'll be third down and two yards to go for the first down hugh green with the tackle and we've got another score in kansas city now leading atlanta 14 and i think first quarter at arrowhead stadium [Music] here we have 37 seconds and counting that is the time remaining as we're winding up the first period of play and miami is in front of green bay six to three and green bay is going to take a timeout third down and true they don't want to take they don't want to make a mistake here that's exactly what it is even though they have only 28 seconds left to go they were running down on the 32nd clock we've got a timeout and we'll be back in just a moment to lambeau field he's in miami but we're not in miami we're in green bay it is 27 50 degrees colder blake moore now the offensive center for the backers third down and two at the 50 as time over the middle is complete first down oh he just barely got it too 46 yard line to market going to epps and dropped immediately by glenn blackwood peps was not the primary receiver they threw a three-yard cast they were trying to get the ball outside but that is a very key first down and we come to the end of the first quarter with the score miami six and green bay three [Music] one of the things that we've noticed in the ball game is that green bay is not applying pressure to moreno they're not rushing they're dropping back and trying to cover the two wide receivers why this change in philosophy well they just felt after the chicago game he just couldn't get to moreno and they're trying now to cause some indecision by covering duper and clayton and it's obvious right now that mourinho is very decisive and i look for green bay possibly to change the strategy green bay with the ball at the miami 46 yard line first down coming in motion and dawn goes the pass is complete to james lofton and lofton is out of bounds at the 37-yard line will be second down and a yard to go for the first down jim zorn the quarterback for the green bay backers in case you joined us late lynn dickey's scheduled to start but thursday afternoon in the weight room came down with next spasm had to be treated in the hospital and he's just hurting too much cannot play and jordan is started it is zorn's third start since joining green bay and he hands off to jesse clark a yard to the 36 he may have the first down mike charles making the tackle mark cannon has been a pleasant surprise at center for green bay i watch him on mike charles he stands him up but charles comes off the block but jesse clark is very strong and he comes very close to the first down tom dooley the referee taking a timeout will have the measurement there has not been a flag in the bargain and we're moving along at a very rapid clip charlie be quiet now the officials might hear you the statistics in the first quarter rushing about equal passing a little to the dolphin side total yards to the dolphin side time and possession to miami side and miami leads by three six three the two hidden statistics are the two kickoff returns the one kickoff returned by in miami gave a tremendous field position which gave him the touchdown and then of course the kickoff returned by f to 36 yards the green bay started this drive with their own 42. going a pressure a late spring to the tight end west football miami has it j brophy recovers the fumble so the turnovers now have evened up at one a piece this is a very fine play screenplay now back up he finds the tight end head west head west has plenty of room look at all those green jerseys get some excellent blocks and there's the hit right there where the ball bounced out and jay brophy was around the football and he came up with a key fumble at this stage in the game the temperature 27 degrees that's the fort howard paper plant right and the visibility is better because we can see it now at kickoff it's hard to see and i think that the thermometer is frozen i think that's the report that we have on the thermometer first and ten green miami taking the ricochet off with bruce hardy tim lewis play action pass 84 was wide open who's hardy but the ball is thrown too high it tips and there's the interception by tim lewis two turnovers bubbled by miami interception now fumbled by green bay and now an interception by miami first down and green bay has the first down at the 141 yard line miami leads 6-3 he scored a touchdown mourinho to nathan but the extra point that jim never got up steps away fires passes complete to ivory five yards to the 46-yard line bob ruzzinski makes the tackle will be second down and five one thing that i've noticed i saw seattle in pre-season jim zorn played a lot in pre-season for seattle the problem that he was having then was he was wild he was all over the ballpark what i noticed today is he's throwing with much more discipline and he seems to be quicker stronger and more on target than he was in pre-season with seattle i talked to him in the pre-game warm-up and he really is a lot more patient the quarterback i think the reason for that is this is the second chance to start knocked away good deep into play by william judson james lofted the attended receiver and little pushing and shoving going on william judson and james often son was right this throw was late and justin's sitting right on lofton as a matter of fact judson gets an excellent position he becomes the receiver and we have a little confrontation on the sideline maybe one of them owes each other some money kristen denard comes in so three wide receivers for the back third down and then last play lofton in reality knocked the ball away and zorin wants a timeout this is the second time in the first half that he has had to take a timeout at a spot when you normally wouldn't want to take one green bay with one left we'll be back in just a moment [Music] today's game is brought to you by spro's and spro light now you're talking good times and strobes is spoken here by the astonishingly simple new sony handycam all the excitement of video movies now in the palm of your hand and by transamerica for insurance and financial services the power of the pyramid is working for you third down from the shotgun an inside handoff to jesse clark will come up two yards short mack moore of the dolphin makes the play and don bracken will come into punt for the first time in the ball game time for garrito and lyle blackwood dropping back piccarito will be the default now [Applause] we're a long way from the ocean but we have a snow wave working its way around lambo field bearcats it is taken by lyle blackwood we've got a timeout miami has the lead 6-3 miami the new york jets and new england patriots are all tied for the lead in the east with nine more records we'll come back to that scoreboard for you in just a moment miami got their own 25-yard line second back through is totally nathan he's going to get a yard it'll be second and nine character and martin meet him now miami in this game leading green bay six three the gentleman buffalo chevron nutting and new england leading detroit seven three so the three tied for the lead in the east are all leading in their ball game and in reality you're playing a short season a three game season this game two more to go and the team of those three that wins all three they are sure to be in the playoffs as the champion of the east or as a wild card miami plays new england and the jets have to play chicago so it's very important miami wins today second down at nine reno goes deep double coverage is juggled incomplete mark duper could have been might have been almost was tom flynn was there for the defense he couldn't have thrown this pass any better if he handed it to him he beat him on the line of scrimmage beat lewis online and scrimmage now concentrate concentrate don't worry about 41 but tom flynn does an excellent job of getting his hand in there and he actually knocked the wall out of duke's hands third down and nine no roses good receiver let's coming is complete it was bubbled at the end of the play they're going to rule it as an incomplete pass nat moore was going for it mike douglas of the packers ended up with the ball but it was an incomplete pass it'll be fourth down and reggie roby will be kicking here's a look first down throw he hits him right in the numbers but he bobbles the ball he never had control of the ball and that is the third drop pass in the first half by miami but give some credit to mark lee because he really jarred us richie roby will be kicking and philip f is set for the reserve kobe with a 42.7 yard average almost gets it blocked but he sails this when a flag is but a flag was dropped back at the 16-yard line the packers take the gamble they go for the block they do not get it and we'll have a penalty miami will have the ball let's see what happens roby takes it takes it two-step now watch him get the ball gets his leg up makes contact and here comes the green bay number 37 on green bay mark murphy he's blocked murphy and he clearly gets the kicker and it's a good call by the official that's a rule book call because if you're going to hit the kicker you you have to have touched the football and it's a good rule because you could see in the replay a punter is really exposed he has absolutely no protection at all and that's why you cannot make contact five yard penalty but carries with it an automatic first down so bring the ball out to the 32-yard line penalty not that well received of course here at lambeau field tony nathan nathan has five and maybe six yards on the play brian noble along with mike douglas team up for the stop for the green bay packers market at the 37-yard line second down and five don shula of course he doesn't worry about the cold weather he's all bundled up i'll tell you the equipment man save one pair of thermal underwear and uh don schuler has it because he's uh chairman of the board second and five nathan is stopped he'll lose the yard going to be third down and six at the 36. brian noble again was there for the defense chicago on the scoreboard with a field goal leading indianapolis three nothing a lot closer than anybody thought that game in chicago look at this cincinnati continuing to roll and they're rolling right over the cowboys 20 to another cincinnati there's st louis ahead of new orleans since that he's in the hunt they have an opportunity if cleveland were to lose today they would be tied for the division kansas city 21 atlanta seven second quarter score joe rosen is a tight end matt moore and there's a wide receiver third down a second fires and the pass is complete but it will be short of the first down cooper pulled it in just shy of the 40 and he needed two more yards tom flip free safety made the play for green bay today's telecast presented by authority the national football league intended for the private use of our audience and he re-broadcast under the use of this telecast of the best written consent of the green bay packers and the national football league is prohibited so it is fourth down and two and roby will do it again and empty set for the return and roby had a great butt with excellent hang tight well last time out let's see what he does here another good one bear catches california taken at the 18 yard line so so on the exchange of butts it costs they're going to market the 19. they costs green bay six we'll be back and the pack has the ball the standings in the nfc central division chicago of course they've wrapped it up 12-1 detroit is seven and six but they're losing green bay six and seven minnesota six and seven green bay situation is is that possibly they can make the playoffs as a wild card if they win the last three it could be nine and seven and the chance is there and it does count i was talking with jim zorn on the field before the vlog he said you know it's nice when the hands are dealt this way when the game this late means something and he said i'm sorry and all that he wanted to talk about was lynne dickey and how well dick had been playing particularly the last two vlogging but zorn told me he said the hand has been dealt to me and i'm going to do the best that i can nice young man first down greenberg second back through is eddie lee ivory jackie's ship makes the tackle and ahmad rashad is with us and let's join him for an update come on warp speed abroad that's great oh that's a great serve that's a great show and the past is complete with jessica and ahmad i'm wondering if the fact that al toone is playing too well for the new york jets that really hasn't helped wesley walker i really believe so don't you say him oh yes because most teams would double wesley walker every week and now the emergence of altoon just helps him just like miami was struggling when they didn't have dupra right and now mourinho is right back in the groove last play moving to the green bay 26 yard line so it's third down and three for the backers big play otherwise they'll have to kick them miami field position tight end tight end waiting for a had to flag it he had paul kaufman you created the coverage that he tripped it may have been unintentional but it was there called good call for the official he crowded paul kaufman and i think it was a good call he's going to paul kaufman because he is a principal receivers when you want to pick up that key first down now as he releases the ball he's getting hit getting rushed to the other side let's watch the replay he's being crowded he was knocked down by the linebacker number 55 for the miami dolphins you green and it was a good call and it's a first down for green bay at their own 38-yard line and that was jay brophy coming in for the backside getting to zorn just as he released the football the office league's penalized team of national football league for the last nine years clark and ella for the running back first down [Music] 13 yards bud brown chased him out green bay should run the football and if they do they can feed the dolphins today they have three fine running backs who have better than a 4.4 average each carry why are they more successful running to the right because of uh volstrom and greg cook have two big strong offensive linemen and paul kaufman may be one of the best blocking tight ends in the league and they're all on the right side miami 49 yard line first down and we had some jumping in the backfield to be an illegal procedure anytime you have movement in the in the offensive backfield they have to be set one second before the ball can be snapped we call that a rolling start in track and field he jumped the gun just a bit but there was also movement in the back so take the five yard penalty back to the green bay 46 yard line and it is first down and 15. this is the time green bay really likes to run the screen pass eddie 47 yard line i'll be second down 14 mike charles with the tackle bob brucinsky was also there now jim zorn is having he's had to take two timeouts and we had some jumping in the line is he not that comfortable yet with the packer offense i asked him that very question right before the game he said he knows the offense but he just doesn't feel and that he's in sync with it because he just hasn't been here uh very long he meant the latter part of september second fourteen has time fire drills it to ball cough but it'll be about three yards short of the first down miami 43 yard line gain of 11. third down and three glen black with the strong safety made the tackle i like jim zawn on this play this bettors on the outside it's being blocked by cook they do a good job gets some help from the back but jim's on recock two or three times had good presence and found paul kaufman big third down play right now change in that green bay offensive line ken rutgers the number one draft choice from usc in its left tackle preston denard is in pretty wide receivers for greenback here comes everybody including hugh green new green came in to the backfield unblocked jim's on never had a chance see he's inside right now and there it is rich moran 57 came off too late and green was right in the crack and you got to be ready to block new green because he is a awesome blitzer first sack of the ball game and that means that don bracken will be kicking and tom vigorito is set up for the return [Music] picarito takes it and dances back to the 23-yard line guy prather makes a stop for green bay and a flag down back at the 45-yard line let's pause briefly for station identification this is the nbc television network wluk 11 green bay this is charlie jones sam ratigliano and that's tom dooley the referee the score miami six green bay three we have five minutes and 24 seconds time remaining we lost our communications with the referee but what happened to penalty against the green bay packers and it is refused miami has the ball at their own 23-yard line and indianapolis now with a field goal they have tied chicago in the second quarter 3-3 miami 6 green bay 3. green bay has the ball green bay is going to come up with this ball robert brown has the ball they're going to roll it down at the 18 yard line but green bay has the ball dan marino's watch right now he never got the snap what dan marino did was he took his hands out too early and dwight stevenson was moving to his right and there you see everybody watch the ball squirt out at the end it's going to squirt there it is i found it and green bay has the ball inside the 20. and miami has made a lot of mistakes fumbles dropped passes and interceptions in the first half priebe has a chance now to tie the game or go ahead at the 17-yard line first down miami's going to take this football miami's got it back jackie chef recovers this fumble you did it dan marino and i can do it too and there's the fumble right there he just never made the snap it's kicked around and there's a lot of white jerseys you see the defense can see the ball the offensive linemen are not aware of the fumble and miami takes the ball back miami first down at their own 19-yard line five minutes and eight seconds left to go in the first half that's going to be a big play as this game goes on both the chance to tie it and had a chance to go ahead randy scott makes the tackle at the 28-yard line so it'll be second down a yard maybe two yards to go let's see where they spot the ball [Music] they mark it at the 27-yard line so it's second down in two mark clayton coming back forth oh i could catch her really i thought that he trapped him he went to his knees he brought his elbows in tight and then he scooped the ball i was waiting on the official's call because i i thought i saw a little bounce off of the green grass first down 37 yard line green right side tony nathan and nathan just keeps plowing can well pick up the first down carrying john anderson and randy scott with him did not get out of bounds and they're marking it right at the marker on this side it is a first down they are over playing duper and clayton and i would think there's paul kaufman on the sideline sitting on the bench looks like he has uh contact lenses is out but i think miami should screen a great deal because green bay is overplaying both outside receivers play action tony nathan randy scott the closest man for the defense now nathan he has scuba gloves on and those are those are probably the best gloves to catch the ball in this kind of came into play about three or four years ago there's a play action pass so mourinho's looking for people right now and he finds clayton he finds nathan wide open that's nathan's second drop and that could have been another first down to miami don johnson the tight end for the miami dolphins second and ten at the 47th joey cliff defense drops out of it goes deep that overthrows everybody mike clayton the itinerary reader says my fault you know there was good coverage i was just throwing it deep don't worry about it it'll be third down and jab it was a designed roll out play his claim right now he needs to take time because mourinho he stops and he goes up field and the reason that he did that is because marina was rolling out and mourinho had he stopped to throw the football clayton had lewis clearly beat for a touchdown matt moore is in for miami as a third wide receiver and joe rose is the receiving tight end third and ten shotgun here comes 20-yard line and mourinho was deaf they doubled both outside receivers 59 john anderson was covering joe rose on the top of your screen watch joe rose he's got a linebacker all the way everybody's got their attention to the outside receiver what a throw what a perfect throw anderson anderson's coverage was not that bad it was just an excellent throw and what they did is they took advantage of the receiver being doubled to the outside and got joe rose on the linebacker a gain of 32 yards on the play to the green bay 21-yard line we're moving on the two-minute mark that's the reason the players are just standing around they know we're going to get there we've arrived two minutes we'll take a timeout it's miami six green bay three time remaining first half miami with a first down at the green bay 21 yard line dominance leading by three six three clayton touchdown what a play by clayton and what a throw by mourinho he could have thrown that ball right through a pike there were all kinds of green jerseys all over the place hit him on a slam play watch burrito three step drop one two three now watch boom right in there good coverage now watch clayton watch the athlete he is reaches out ball goes beyond the plane touchdown outstanding play by clayton and mourinho and they've been doing that all year long 21-yard touchdown pass the extra pointer tip this one is up and it is good and the score is miami 13 and green bay three so the dolphins now lead by 10 with 155 left to go in the first half and for mark clayton that is his fourth touchdown reception and for dan marino that is his 24th touchdown pass you saw the release it's a jackhammer release now watch mourinho now look to the left did he catch it he caught it he's gonna go in the end zone for a touchdown and that makes the quarterback feel very good and what clayton did was just outstanding gifted athletic ability to get that ball in the end zone and just a few minutes ago green bay had the ball inside the 20 with the score six to three when uh zorn fumble the snap let's go back to the touchdown and look to see what mark clayton does after he catches the ball watch him catch the ball now he splits the two defenders now watch him reach the ball right to the end zone that is a fantastic feat of athletic ability quad rave is kicking off and here is eps on the return for the one-yard line and this time returns to the 24 so he has 23 yards on this return he had one in the 30s earlier and joe rose makes the tackle green bay goes to work with a minute 45 left to go in the first half games remaining detroit and then on the road at tampa bay and uh detroit does not win on the road they went only at home this year it seemed and they're losing 17-3 to new england and new england so the packers have an excellent opportunity to stay stay alive in the race and couldn't get to the playoffs but they need to come back here they trail 13 to 3 only one time out remaining in the first half and here's street speed nobody was there 32-yard line gain of a second down and two that stopped the clock with a minute 37 to go i didn't see had miami filtered the screen or had the receiver falling down what happens in a situation like that some linebacker read it and grab the screening back thorn had presents ran out of bounds i look right now for lofton or epps to be involved in a big play for them to get this scoring position let me make a correction let me make a correction we've just been informed that green bay is at detroit both of the remaining games are on the road and detroit detroit has a perfect record at home so that's a tough one for greenfield more mad rock it's there it's hot and then it is intercepted or picked up and no they're going are they going to call it incomplete good lambs what happened look at this lofton had it he had the ball but he fumbled it and had he fumbled it of course miami would have recovered excellent throw now watch lofton working up field right now he's going to come back in at 90 degrees he's got plenty of room judson falls down now he's got the ball now watch the ball being bobbled back and forth and uh they call it incomplete because he never had complete control they had the ball beyond the 50-yard line third down and two 130 time remaining first down for the defense tough pass for zorn flag drop to the 44-yard line he's left-handed and he's rolling to his right it's against green bay though bring it back he fakes the clock now watch him come to the outside 91 mack moore is chasing him and this is tough for a left-hander to turn this way and get the ball to west now west puts a few more yards on it but we have a penalty and the play is going to be brought back man downfield a lip reader please you can figure that out it'll be third down that goes over let's check the scoreboard greg cook apparently was the ineligible okay colts and the and the bears are tied 3-3 detroit trails new england pass lead philadelphia two washington sound like the second inning jets leading buffalo 21 another dallas still trails look at that big upset working st louis out in front of new orleans kansas city leading atlanta and at halftime nfl 85 they'll update all of the scores and have the highlights from around the afc almost intercepted ivory the intended receiver alex moyer the rookie from northwestern half a step away from a touchdown he was more concerned about knocking the ball down then catching it see someone throws the ball late now watch moya now go in in front and catch the ball don't knock it down he had a chance to become famous because if he'd have gotten that one they would have been in for a touchdown john bracken will be kicking tom vigorito said for the return and miami could have excellent field position with three timeouts remaining and a minute 18 left in the second quarter plenty of time there's pressure good gut taken at the 47 yard line and dropped in his trash and so miami will have an opportunity we'll take a timeout we'll be back in just a moment don't forget at halftime nfl 85 all the scores and highlights and miami with an opportunity to add another highlight to their first half over the middle the pass is complete tony nathan nathan has the first down at the green bay 43 yard line mike douglas making the tackle just a moment ago at the end of that punt don bracken with the butt bigger rito with the return we'll try and get that in because tom flynn the kent steals an excellent coverage for green bay reno throws completes it tony nathan 37 yard line and now miami will take a timeout now let's go here's what happened figarito should have called a fair catch and stills makes an outstanding play that's really a good play we have a penalty and it looks like it's going to be against green bay mourinho called the timeout there's 45 seconds left to go they have two timeouts left and we did not have a penalty in the first quarter and green bay has run into some problems they really have and nbc here's the program now let's get the call here for the referee tom doolitt offside first down all right we'll kick off the college bowl lineup on nbc sports with the florida citrus bowl this year's contest featuring robbie bosco and the byu cougars they'll take on the ohio state buckeyes live from orlando florida join us for all the action plus a special halftime extravaganza on saturday december the 28th at 1 pm eastern time right here on nbc sports that will be hosted by our good friend jay randolph [Music] look for nat 4 89 and joe rose the two inside receivers first reno fires the pass is complete at the 25-yard line and again it is mark clayton a 13-yard reception first down flynn and lewis are there for the defense 16 16-yard line and miami will take the time out here something that mourinho can do is he will drop down when he has inside pressure on the right side he will drop down and throw almost sidearm sometimes he gets him in trouble because it can be blocked or deflected the line of scrimmage he has a survival intelligence he can actually feel the pressure of receivers joe rose should have gone out of bounds that's non-struck to mourinho's left who's talking to mourinho right now with coach schuler he has been a tremendous help to mourinho you can see strzok is actually talking to him right now and what they're talking about is the fact is they have one timeout they're going to need that for the field goal there's 13 seconds left to go so mourinho right now has to throw the ball into the end zone if it's complete in the field of play they'll have to use their last timeout to line up and kick the field goal and they have a first down at the 16-yard line i would look now since they're over playing duper and clayton they've had joe rose and that more as inside receivers i would look for him to look for rose or nat moore inside and if it's not clearly open they'll throw the ball in some blonde's lap in the mezzanine so they can kick the field goal and you had a look at juan revais there's forest greg head coach the green bay packers and the thoughts of the thoughts all over the sidelines they're all different thoughts how do i stop them am i going to stop them who do i throw to and i would rather be kicking the extra point to the field goal attempt so there's a maximum number of thoughts stirring around lambeau field with 13 seconds to go in the first half preface frustrated miami has fumbled go to deceptions and drop four passes and get there ahead 13-3 and trying to stretch that margin first down at the 16 with 13 seconds left to go first half reno almost intercepted john anderson had his hands on it couldn't pull it in matt moore the edited receiver ever so close they had nat war and joe rose on the same side mourinho right now is cocked he tries to throw the football through the coverage john anderson dropped the interception it was intended for joe rose and that may cost them three points first to make those plays excellent coverage could cost seven because now with nine seconds it's still the timeout remaining miami is going after the touchdown one more time you're gonna have to get it up fast gonna have to get the ball off fish there it is hustle netmore mourinho with his third touchdown pass of the game 25 on the year the reason for that it's tough on green bay they have to double to the outside he's got a one-on-one right now but watch it he's clearly open look at the throw the throw is perfect the defender should have stayed with that four into the end zone as soon as mourinho saw that opening he got into that war with four seconds to go in the first half and the extra point is good and miami now has stretched it out leading green bay 20 to three and juan revais i guess he'd rather kick the extra point than the vehicle because that's what he did and miami moving 54 yards in six plays mourinho showed obviously championship presence in that drive caller timeouts when he needed them he found the open receivers he didn't force the ball except the interception that john anderson he should have intercepted actually it cost him seven points and a strong arm sometimes charlie can be a mixed blessing because you think you can throw it through a brick wall or a maze of linebackers and green bay has not played that that poorly at all i mean the you feel like the score should be closer than 20 to three they've had some opportunities they had the opportunity you pointed out inside the 20-yard line they fumbled it back away well they had an opportunity on this drive there we go right there man peter roll obviously they had an opportunity to stop that touchdown john anderson was in perfect position in the coverage and he should have made the play and quad rivets will be kicking off gary ellis on the return to the 20 25 he goes spinning out of bounds as time runs out in the first half jim jensen oh crash himself was there wide receiver special team specialist and green bay will be receiving the opening kickoff gary ellison dropping back and that should be philip epps dropping back with [Music] him mike brown of the miami dolphins had a pinched nerve earlier in the game and then we have a report that he has a sprained ankle and now will not return so jackie ship will be going for mike brown as the right inside linebacker for the dolphins and quad rivers will be kicking off for miami as we open the action in the second half the temperature is still in the upper splitting eps takes it at the four yard line good return to the 34 yard line 30 yards on the return by philip f alex moyer of the dolphins along with george little make the tackle so green bay will go to work with jim zorn at quarterback we'll see eddie lee ivory and jesse clark as the running backs we also see gary ellis those are the three primary running backs epps and lofton the men outside all kaufman the tight end they need a big play they need a big play to get back in this football game jesse clark gets the call three yards to the 37th second down and seven as mike charles makes the tackle and gary ellis will check into that offensive set and eddie lee ivory will come out carl swanky is back in the left tackle rich moran mark cannon ron holstrom and greg cook the offensive line second and seven here's ellen first down 45 yard line gain of eight first down jackie ship with the tackle on the sweep the first most important person is the first god out and there he is 65 ron holster let's watch him win he buries the corner william judson and 31 sees the hole goes up for a key first down green bay 45 yard line so the backers come out running last week in the snowstorm here against tampa bay eddie lee ivory rushed for 109 yards ellis rushed for 101 yards joined with a screen it's there to ivan near the 50-yard line bob ruzzinski makes the stop again a five second down and five now let's do a quick check of the scoreboard third quarter new england 17 detroit three saint louis 21 new orleans six third quarter scores and here it is miami 20 and green bay 3 with 13 minutes and 41 seconds left to go in the third quarter [Music] paul lankford may have saved a touchdown because if apps could straighten up down the sideline he can fly jackie shep hitting zorn just as he made his release epps comes in motion makes the coverage more difficult for lankford he gets the ball off and watch eps now see the separation between himself and lankford 44 as he pushes him out of bounds and had he not done that that's would have been gone very important charlie that three bay scores on this drive 15 yards for the miami 35. i was looking for a fly the quarterback you could think was in motion but he was going away from the line of scrimmage i thought there was all kinds of movement doug betters makes a stop at the 32-yard line gain of three second down and seventh double-sided paul kaufman and ed west for three play second and seven epson down at the 29 yard line so a tough three yards it'll be third down and four jackie ship and paul lankford make the tackle mark 8 carries 32 yards the line of scrimmage the miami 29-yard line three wide receivers come in for green bay it's interesting charlie they replaced the offensive center in the shotgun blake four snaps to the shotgun mark cannon comes out of the game preston denard is the third wide number five in the secondary and green bay is back in the game and there's the big play they split langford and blackwood there's a shotgun formation he's trying to find someone outside epsom often but now he finds the nod right in the middle now watch the nod he's being covered by 44 langford you can't see it but he makes an outstanding catch because most receivers on ground impact would have caught that football up and that is a big play because green bay is back in the game al del greco with the extra point miami 20 and green bay 10 will be back with the kickoff in just a moment [Music] today's game is brought to you by rca creators of video technology that excites the senses by mcdonald's it's a good time for the great taste of mcdonald's and by hayes micro computer products say yes to the future with haze miami's lead has been cut to 10 20 to 10 and al del greco kicking off at the 15 yard line this is joe carter on the return and carter returns to about the 33-yard line where tim lewis makes the tackle and guy prather was also there now the man who caught the touchdown pass was number 88 preston dinard he thought he would be celebrating on the sideline well he wasn't he was on the far side of the kickoff team how many times do you see the receiver catch the touchdown pass and then come right back and be on the specialty well we just saw it with preston dinard that happens when you have the title back up before your name and number thank you happy to be here offensively dan marino at quarterback and miami who's on offense for the first time in the second half for their own 33-yard eyeliner bennett to the 44 yard line 11 yards and the first down mark murphy and tom flynn make the tackle let's check the scoreboard and the afc east miami here leading 20 to 10. the new york jets leading buffalo 21 to nothing and new england leading detroit 17-3 so all three teams tied for the lead in the east coming into today's action with nine and four records all leading in their ball game first down miami our side pass is complete then josh of the footy got a little slippery at the 49-yard line so it'll be second down and six mike murphy and mike douglas were there for the green bay packers joining nathan and woody bennett in the backfield bruce hardy dan johnson joe rose the three tight ends and you'll see them in one two and three combinations mark clayton and mark duper the wide receivers with easter foster stevenson clark and ronnie lee that offensive line and john keesler with that bum knee started at left tackle and he's still there and a blitz pass is complete as mourinho reads the blitz nathan pulls it in and he's pulled down by tom flynn at the green bay 49. gain of a couple tom flynn was had coverage on tony nathan but watch mourinho right now looking to his right now he sees the blitz now and watch him get rid of the football before the linebacker can even come close and tom flynn makes a tackle on tony nathan and that's what he did all night on monday in chicago you just cannot blitz him he has great presence back there he has what we call survival intelligence feels the pressure third down and four and more is in and joe rose is there mass is complete flag is down if the play holds up it'll be a first down at the 44 at four with the reception but where the flag was dropped it's usually an offensive holding call and that's what it'll be is that miami's first penalty we're checking with our crack backup crew second penalty it was close i only missed by one that's terrible miami coming into this game only had 62 penalties and you pointed out earlier they've had the least amount of penalties in the last nine years of any team in the national football league third down and 14 the ball back at the miami 41 yard line and mourinho will operate from the shotgun got to go to village offense joe rose on that walk and moreno was throwing the ball away he was running out of time duper the intended receiver tim moyes an excellent coverage on him at the ovation for the packers defense reggie roby will be kicking and philip epps is set for the return takes it at the 20. a block does not get the block but still it's 20 yards on the return alex moyer makes a tackle for the miami dolphins we've got a timeout miami has the lead just across the parking lot from a lot from lambeau field is the packer hall of fame and if you notice in the mobile home they're watching on television he was closing the door hi guys how are you so you drive to the parking lots and watch it on television i love it rebate freelance bikes here first down their own 30-yard line alice in motion zorn smd far side coverage all post intercepted lofted the intended receiver and paul lankford was diving for it'll be second and ten back at the 30. this is the second time in the second half the green bay has had the ball in office the first time they moved 76 yards in seven plays zorn to dinard with a 29-yard touchdown pass to put them back in the ball game didn't they stop miami or miami stopped himself with that penalty and now green bay has an opportunity to be right amongst them jordan fires this with a lofted good pass first down langford with the tackle i'm impressed the way zoren's firing the ball he's throwing the ball with authority he's waiting now for the play to come in from the sideline but we talked about this early on he's very very patient watch him take three-step drop he's watching for lofton to clear now he drills the ball to lofton right between the eight and the zero and one of those plays if lofton gets it in second gear can be a big play very important now for green bay take this ball down second drive in the second half and put points on the board a little play action fake big 56 yards jordan with the whole al del greco miami 20 green bay 17. we'll be back for the kickoff when jim zorn was at seattle he wore number 10. when he came to backers al del breco who is kicking off already had number two it's a little strip type kick and joe carter on the return zips attacking the 35 to the 40 good return to the miami 42 yard line charles martin with the tackle along with head west so since number 10 was taken jim zorn is wearing number 18. i asked him why are you wearing a t there is zorn he said my choices were 18 and 19. these are not really a big selection let's pause briefly for station identification this is the nbc television network wluk 11 green bay miami first down 42 yard line passes complete the woody bit it fitted to the 45 gain of three second and seven mike murphy with the tackle let's go back to that touchdown pass you look for this all day long play action pass where's the one on one the james lofton now what swan does is he lays the ball up nice and high often has got him feet langford feet and he ran right underneath it and now the score is 20 to 17 miami second down and seven miami at their own 45. dropped over the middle to tony nathan and nathan has the first down at the green bay 44-yard line mark lee randy scott make the tackle or an update here's ahmad rashad and ahmad i'm sure that you're as surprised as we are that that game is simply as close as it is i wonder if the bears are still reeling from what happened to them in the game last monday night against miami the pass is complete to mark duper duper steps out of bounds at the green bay 32-yard line that'll go for 12 and another first down as mark lee was the man guarding him in the secondary the backer they're going to mark it at the 33 yard still a first down so green bay in their only two offensive thrusts in the second half managing to score miami stopped by a penalty the first time they had the ball in the second half but this is the second time that miami has had the ball in the second half and his tony nathan jumping to the outside then picked up at the last minute by john anderson number 59 who just reached out of the pile and put a hand on his ankle and brought him down at the 29 yard line still he got four it'll be second down and says miami 20 green bay 17 6 minutes and 10 seconds left to go in the third and mourinho has the dolphins on the move and johnson is now the tight end the pass is low but it is caught by tony nathan mike douglas and tim lewis make the tackle at the 21-yard line should be a first down so green bay again with the outside coverage and nathan is open in the middle nathan's seven receptions and 54 yards and a touchdown and we'll add that last play so add eight more yards to his total and here's haytham and he'll lose a yard to the 22. it'll be second and 11 as mark murphy makes the tackle sometimes you wonder sam if miami should even bother with trying to run the football they throw it so well i think they do that because mourinho gets tired watch character right now on ronnie lee he's being blocked to the inside roy foster 61 is turning up in the hole on mark murphy but a host of green bay linebackers led by number 55 randy scott make the play now we have a convention didn't see the flag apparently was there is tom dooley the uh the mic is frozen as you probably noticed and they need to move the clock down that's what he's talking to we're trying to like you at home trying to read lips and so they're just adjusting the time on the clock both benches of course being told what is going on with the reset of the clock and so a pause in the afternoon's activities and a time for us to remind you that coming up next on nbc sports second half of the doubleheader most of you will see the battle for sole possession of first place in the afc west between the los angeles raiders and the denver broncos dickenberg and merlin olsen are right now at mile high stadium preparing for that ball game we have also some regional action as your team plays here so kick off the second half of our doubleheader with nbc sports it will be second down and 11 with the ball at the 22-yard line that's donnie humphrey who has talked with one of the officials and the wave has started once again in lambeau field it's almost an orange wave because of all the hunters that come to the ball game here and might be a little reminiscent of what you will be seeing in the second half of the doubleheader mile high stadium it will be cold there and the orange crush taking on the black jersey raiders should be a great ball game five and a half minutes is the time remaining the clock is now moving and so are the miami dolphins trailing green bay trailing by three miami 23 base 17. marina loses his footing and the pass is just a little behind dan johnson mike douglas for the defense but when reno planted that right foot to throw it just was sliding out from under him third down mourinho drops back now watch him feel the pressure from the outside now step up in the pocket he steps up in the pocket but he loses his footing and again johnson is being covered by a linebacker throw his phone just a little behind him now we have a third down to 10. important play for green bay to stop miami here watch out for that four from the 89. green bay offsides pass incomplete carrick or jump he's going to say he was full but i think he just jumped he was pulled off sides false start on miami ronnie lee right in front of carrick moved and that pulled character offside and it looks like it's going to go against miami now big decision do you make it fourth down they're in field goal range would be a 40-yard attempt or do you take the penalty and give miami another shot fourth down they're refusing the penalty they don't want mourinho to have another pop at him right now that's right a field goal gives green bay an opportunity to score a touchdown kick an extra point and go ahead and remember a blocked extra point in the first half by green bay booms big right now rod rivets struck the whole 30-yard line and a tip of 40 yards the maze has hit from 47 yards out the footing is not that good look smack wants a timeout something is going on does he want to change the football he's pointing at something the strzok was very he's the holder very insistent he's he's going to be charged with a timeout stock is trying to convince the referee tom newley that he shouldn't be charged with a timeout and i believe they want a football champion it's whether it's either the football chain or where the football is located and struck saw that but right now they're going to charge that timeout against miami and you know you only have three and a half and you're very very valuable now they're not changing the football so that's not what he was pointing to if there was something that he could see and you say did he make the right decision i think that he made the right decision because you're going for three points you're going for points at that point the snapper and the holder are the two single most important elements of the field goal and if the holder is not comfortable he has the right to talk to the official but he got charged for the timeout now this is what this is what happened look they're struck now talking to officials pointing to some problem over the ball with stevenson now he says timeout he called a timeout he called the timeout and that's why the official charged miami with that timeout then right now that delay takes away from his concentration and that's why it's important now as the kicker you see him looking down he doesn't want to have anything to do with anything else involved in this game right now except to concentrate on the kick green bay blocks the field goal attempt the snap was high snap was high but struck gets it down but what's the trajectory the trajectory is low but there's somebody coming in right from the middle and that's where he gets his hand on it i really believe that the ball was blocked kicked too low motion number 94 charles martin the nose tackle free agent a year ago out of livingston is the man who blocked the field goal at jeff and green bay has the ball to throw 32 first down trailing by three with five minutes to go at the third ivory 10 yard bob brucinsky makes the tackle we have a report from the field that don strzok did not like the position that the ball was set for the center snap maybe there was mud or that he was afraid of a bad snap and he wanted the officials to move the ball to a different spot what he should have done was not singles for the timeout second down about half a yard to go for the first down here's zore green pass ellis first down miami 41 yard line 17 yards langford and brown on the stop two outstanding blocks by rich moran and ron halstrom he lays the ball off to gary ellis watch the two blocks 65 knocks him outside and moran knocks the man inside and that springs gary ellis for 17 yards outstanding play by the two offensive guards first down green bay flag is down pass is incomplete two flags on the blood and right now the green bay backers are hot two drives in the second half both in touchdowns and now they're on another drive in miami territory there's lynn dickey with the neck brace in the booth he was eating potato salad before and maybe now he's and they've full sides in the booth oh you can you believe that i love it there it is thank you oh they got home that's dynamite they've got television over there too wave the side up and down watch it this side up and down second and 10. ivory to the 38 yard 39 yard and he has three glenn blackwood with the tackle now we have a report that don strzok was complaining to the officials that the ball placed for the center staff was placed illegally outside of the hash marker outside the white stripe and that's what he was complaining about that's the report that we have five in the secondary for miami third down at seven again thorn is in the shotgun now watch him drill this ball this ball is really thrown well 44 langford actually was off balance he was in front of the ball could have made the interception the nod now has scored a touchdown and a key third down reception first down miami 26. back in motion here's ivory he's going to get a yard they may give him too let's see where they mark it we'll call it the 25 it'll be second and nine kim vote camper was there two and a half minutes left to go in the third miami leading by three and green bay is on the move let's check the scoreboard chicago out in front of indianapolis by seven and welcome back to the new england still leaves detroit knocked away fc intended receiver jackie ship knocked it down it'll be third down let's check the scoreboard again philadelphia leading washington in the third jets shutting out buffalo in the third dallas has some points but look at this cincinnati by 33. st louis in front of new orleans kansas city still leads atlanta here it's third down and nine 25 yard line of miami green bay from the shotgun coming with a blitz in the corner it's there ignoring can i get to him james lofton the intended receiver in the second half in the second half jim zorn has completed seven of eleven for 149 yards and two touchdowns jim zord is the holder and he used to do an excellent job of fake field goals when he was with the seattle seahawks 42-yard vehicle attempt by al del greco or as hamburtigliano says is it a fight now they're going to kick this one they need to be there for the tie it is low and it is no good so al del greco misses from 42 yards away he hit earlier from 23 and that means that miami will take over at the line of scrimmage which was the 25-yard line miami leads by three 20-17 with a minute 57 left in the third quarter the second half third quarter completely dominated by the green bay packers right miami's two drives however were very good and they were stopped by two miami penalties so here comes the dolphin for their own 25 leading by three mourinho's pass is incomplete he overthrows tony nathan and tom flynn was diving for a possible interception but couldn't get there so bring it back to the 25 it'll be second down and 10. let's check the scoreboard in the afc east starting today three teams tied for the lead with 9-4 records miami new york jets new england patriots we'll get to that in a moment second and 10 back at the 25. flag down inside handoff [Applause] and tony nathan goes to the 30-yard line but there was a marker on the play as they checked that out we had a scoring change on our scoreboard and now we'll bring it to us again penalty is against miami miami here leading by three jets leading by 14 and new england is leading by 14 also so the three teams tied for the lead in the east all right now in the third quarter with detroit new england the fourth quarter leading in their game so miami self-destructing with penalties here's another one uncharacteristic of miami to be involved in negative plays second down and 15 and sam as you know it's not the penalties but when they come and they have come in important parts of the drive both drives in the second half have hurt miami because of penalties here's nathan nathan to the 27-yard line a flag dropped on the play and it is against miami who was brought back at the 10 yard line and what is hurting now is they're losing good field position and if they have to punt green bay is going to have to good have good field position and could kick a field goal to tie this game as strzok and shula huddle on the sideline holding against the novice so we'll bring the ball back to the 10 yard line it'll be second down and 25. one minute and 22 seconds left in the third and there's an update on the penalty as dan johnson checks in at tight end for miami reno rose throws the passes complete on the far side to mark clayton and clayton bumped out of bounds and the flag dropped upfield at the yard line and that usually is illegal chuck and it could be a first down for miami second and 25 for miami the play went to the 18-yard line so they would have a gain of eight unless green bay with the miscue five-yard penalty takes the ball to the 15 and your right will carry the first down big break for miami they have a first down at their own 15-yard line that's the defensive coordinator on top of your screen dick mojileski that was so upset that of course is don schuler so miami with a reprieve 102 left to go in the third the dolphins lead by three bruce hardy back in a tight air inside handoff as tony nathan goes to the 20-yard line he'll market the 21 so he has six and will be second down and four mark murphy making the tackle you hear a lot about walter payton and marcus allen but tony nathan is a multi-purpose back came into the game with 54 catches and is in their leading rusher second down and four woody bennett cut down at the line of scrimmage by brian noble the rookie from arizona state it'll be third down [Applause] and with that play time will run out in the third quarter so we come to the end of the third with a score miami 20 green bay 17 and we'll be right back after these messages from your local station [Music] do you have a feeling that they missed the bus that's right i think they're in the wrong spot they think they're in miami that's it right we're number one and you're number two third down and four as we start the fourth quarter miami at their own 21-yard line nathan the intended receiver it'll be for jam and reggie roby will be kicking statistically after three go right down to the total yards that says it all dolphins 273 packers 287 the margin is three points and that's as close as the numbers are going to get he gambled with the reception but excellent coverage by the miami dolphins alex moyer was downfield we've got a timeout green bay has the ball when we come back [Music] today's game is brought to you by michelob lite super premium taste and a less filling beer who says you can't have it all by radio shack your christmas electronics store and by midas for mufflers breaks and shocks trust the midas touch this is charlie jones sam tigliano 14 minutes 49 seconds left to go lambeau field green bay wisconsin the packers with the ball trailing by three from the green bay 38-yard line and jesse clark is stacked up he'll lose a yard as he is met by mike charles and hugh green go to the scoreboard chicago 17 indianapolis three fourth quarter philadelphia now by two over washington jets comfortably in front of buffalo on the floor dallas comfortably behind cincinnati 43-10 28-9 st louis leading new orleans 38-10 kansas city out in front of atlanta and here it is miami 20 green bay 17 the pack with two tight ends play action george pass there from eps incomplete langford with the coverage so it'll be third down three wide receivers for green bay and in this situation the key is in preston dinar number 88 jorn has gone to him twice outside first down philippe gibson has got a lot of zip on the ball they've gone to the pass in the second half and they're in this football game now watch him find eps step up sip it to the outside have stays inbounds way don mcdeal could make the play big first down at midfield first down at the 49 yard line gary ellis ellis has three yards to the miami 48th so it is second down and seven mike charles with the tackle mike charles has been resurrected in this defense watch him on mike cannon keeps his feet clean keeps his fleet keen keeping the block away from now watch him come off and make the play he has really helped this defense with his plant nose tackle after bob bumhauer a pro bowl goes tackle who was hurt second down and seven epson motion and we have flags and the pass is incomplete it is against miami don shula should be frustrated penalties against miami offensively and defensively and hurt this team the entire second half it gives green bay an opportunity right now with two downs to pick up one yard for a first down the ball just outside the 42-yard line of miami first down ellis to the 22. green and blackwood with the tackle 20 yards on the flood nina yard goes straight at it watch holstrom right there block jprophy 53 and that clears the lane but gary ellis 31 and now green bay is in field goal position opportunity to tie the game touchdown to go ahead first down eight yards second down and two judson with the tackle 14 yard line clark first down blackwood with the tackle chicago now leading indianapolis by 7 17 to 10 a bagel touchdown pass is the favorite receiver on this part of the field miami may have jumped miami was offside ship with the tackle mike charles may have jumped he did gibson just about makes the handoff and you can see mike charles was clearly ahead of the snap now green bay is trying possibly with eddie lee ivory to make a big play but they'll come back and take the penalty have a first down and goal to go on the six yard line oh it's first down about five to go they can figure the first down before going in they split the difference to the goal line he had the daylight and hugh green close the door but it will be first down at goal to go as jim zorn becomes the cheerleader jim saw now on a delay now watch gary ellis number 31. now there's the hit by eugreen but watch foot brown 43 come over and keep him out of the end zone outstanding play by the free safety first down goal to go and ivory is there it'll be ivory hit at the top of the fire leaves does he get it there's no signal [Applause] it'll be second down and go to go the jump line is the neutral zone between offense and defense now watch go on top clear it boom there's somebody there alex boyer 54 to stop now the offensive line in green bay is going to have to push the defensive line of miami backing up so those backs can clear the jump line gary ellis and jesse clark are the back take it down goal to go just a link to the football away six two six no signal it's the ball and not the body you're right charlie he held the ball back the ball apparently didn't go over the plane of the goal line if he takes the snap and holds the ball down around his stomach and goes in his chest he's not going to count as he pops over the top you can see what he didn't do he had the ball back and the ball never clears the plane of the goal line now we have a third down give the ball to one of those big fats that you pay to run the football or go in behind your blocking right guard if you're agree agreed made traditionally right go in behind that baby grand piano ron holster for the touchdown no what do you do now wow wait a minute touchdown you don't have to worry about it finally the signal now watch any of the ivory there's a wall right there we cannot see it apparently eddie lee ivory must have crossed the plane but i believe both those officials should have made a more decisive call they waited too long green bay with the lead they led early in the game three nothing now they lead 23-20 extra point is good green bay 24 miami 20 eight minutes 32 seconds left this is charlie jones sam rotigliado eight minutes 32 seconds left to go at lambeau field and green bay leads miami 24-20 al del greco kicking out what about that blocked extra point in the first half by green bay score right now would have been 24-21 and he battles to the 33-yard line where morris turner makes a tackle we'll go back to that touchdown by eddie lee ivory it's hard to sort out you've got to take in the angle of the camera and all those big bodies anything ivory right now is stuffed but he bounces to the inside and when he bounces back to the inside the ball apparently crossed the plane of the goal line but the officials took a little time to make the decision here we are touchdown 62-yard drive and 13 plays by green bay to take the lead and miami now from their own 33 but remember miami only has two timeouts remaining it's there pushdown green bay territory mark clayton pulls it in at the backer 48-yard line after that big play for the dolphins let's check the scoreboard in the afc miami now trails the jets lead and new england leading now remember miami the jets and new england starting today's play all tied for first in the east with 9-4 records a 19-yard pass play replacement joni nathan over the middle the attended receiver ryan noble trying to pick off the interception but it's incomplete so it'll be second down and 10 at the green bay 48. drops it off underneath the coverage to tony nathan nathan to the 41-yard line so he has seven it'll be third down and three as randy scott makes the tackle so that means that mourinho has now completed 24 of 38 passes for 249 yards in the playoffs miami new england the jets denver the raiders they're all 9-4 cleveland 7-6 they're in the central division they're leading the central division so remember the champions of the east central and west plus the two wild cards make the playoffs third and three push down matt moore big play to the 26 yard line [Music] 15 yards gary hayes with the tackle and miami converting on a third down and three well look at it from ground level kat moore had a one-on-one with 27 gary hayes he goes to the outside jukes and breaks plead to the inside mourinho sees him now watch nat war and yardage hold on to that football because he does not want to fumble six minutes and 20 seconds left in the game first down miami green bay 26 miami trails by four over the middle to tony nathan second down and 10. mourinho's outside receivers are obviously being doubled that's why he's trying to go to his inside receivers tony nathan and matt moore duper with four receptions at 44 yards clayton's six for 76 yards those are his wide men but most of the day they've been shut down they take it away from him and make him come back over the middle nathan to the 20-yard line ryan noble with the stop gain of six third down and four at the green bay 20 and the clock continues 5 53 and counting the way miami moves the ball they want to also come out of this with a field goal because if they can hold green bay mourinho can move this football team they can come back with a game-winning field goal but how about that block extra point in the first half miami could be a position right now with a field goal to tie it up third down tony nathan 17 yards to the three first down and goal to go watch them on duper right now you got to stuff them on the line of scrimmage run with them on the line of scrimmage keep them from going inside have someone backing you up all the way and that's why lewis can play it that way and tony nathan was wide open marino was looking for the end zone found nathan first and goal inside the three and we've got a timeout green bay takes their first time out of the second half stopping the clock with 4 48 left to go in the game as miami threatens the scoring by quarters green bay 24 miami 24 minutes 48 seconds left to go on the game miami at the packer three yard line first down goal to go and david who has scored 10 touchdowns this year is in the ball again my action pass tony nathan behind tony nathan had he hit tony nathan right away he would have been in the end zone for touchdown george cumby bringing down tony nathan two-yard line second down goal to go three tight ends artie johnson and rose in the offensive set nathan and davenport the running back davenport stopped by randy scott third down goal to go peter loss of a yard just inside the three they're gonna have to throw the ball and they're apparently gonna have to kick the field though this would be a play-action pass there's pressure gets it up it's there it is touchdown joe road miami back in the lead we'd like to welcome those of you that just joined us as the miami dolphins just moved out in front of green bay 26-24 on this touchdown pass dan marino to joe play action pass right now he's trying to find joe rose it's good coverage by 91 brian noble ryan noble a rookie linebacker but joe rose has a big big catch and the extra point by juan revais is good and is now miami 27 green bay 24 with 3 18 left to go in the ball game as the dolph has just moved 67 yards in 10 plays and dan marino has now thrown four touchdown passes in the ball game to moore nathan bennett and rose 27 24 miami with that miss extra void and that was on the first touchdown when they moved out in front six to three with 148 to go in the first quarter so now the green bay packers with plenty of time but only two timeouts remaining as do the dolphins but 3 18 on the clock and the way that jim zorn has been throwing the ball in the second half still an opportunity to play the short field what they want to do now is to move to the miami 30-yard line or maybe the 25 but in that neighborhood and go for the giant field goal and then go for overtime they've had excellent field position on their returns it's going to be important for green bay right now to get this ball returned beyond the 30-yard line and emma will take it at the he's to the 20 to the 30 to the 40. the miami 45 yard line rivets and don mcneal bumped him out and that will help green bay's chances of the field goal now watch after it's a short kick now watch ep's followers blocking but he's got lightning speed he gets a good block there and now what he wants to do is just change hands in case you football stay in bounds he gets hit by you ed rivas number seven and they're up on the miami 45 yard line 47 yards on the return by ems he's shaken up denard replaces him first down thorne to eddie lee ivory everybody kind of settles down the ball at the miami 45 it'll be second down in ten and a look at the clock show three minutes in two seconds that could be an eternity in a football game and a reminder be sure to stay tuned for the second half of the doubleheader dickenberg and merlin olsen they're at mile high stadium in denver colorado and they they've got to kick off just about four or five minutes away and as soon as this game is over we'll be joining us of course it could be a while it should be overtime this one behind jesse clark so now it is third down and ten the playoff picture in the nfc shows chicago already there dallas rams giants san francisco detroit washington and we'll go to that second page and green bay with a six seven record they could pull this one out if they could come from behind they need to win their last three to be nine and seven and they've got a shot at the playoffs dallas loses today yeah three wide receivers for green bay ems is back in but denied in london third down at 10. each 10. it is intercepted paul lankford has the ball for miami dinar the intended receiver and lankford who's been burned a couple of times in the ball game comes up with a key interception jim zone is back to pass he's trying to find a nod who's caught a touchdown had a key reception and this is excellent coverage and the thing that langford does so well he has good presence and he finds the ball now lay down because there's less than three minutes to go and you don't want to fumble the football now the second down throw by zaun was clearly a first down throw to jesse clock but he threw it a little bit behind miami had their own 30-yard line first down the dolphins with the lead now 27-24 but we're looking right now at that three-way tie in the east remaining here's tony nathan almost backed it loose he was stopped at the 35 back pedaled out to the 38 maybe the 39-yard line tom flynn and tim lewis stopped him it'll be second down and green bay stops the clock now at the 239 mark so that means they have one timeout remaining they're playing their timeouts prior to the two minute warning because they will have a clock stop there they hope that the defense can hold them they can take over just past the two-minute warning and on offense they can control the clock with incomplete passes and by throwing out of you know the storage receivers down the sideline and having them come out of bounds what green bay needs to do is to get the ball as soon as possible miami's thinking right now it's second down and two yards to go what they're saying is on second down let's get one yard on third down let's pick up the other yard let's have uh green bay now exhaust their final timeout because green bay lost a key timeout inside the five yard line when miami had the ball before they scored the touchdown and the reason that green bay had to take that time out is they were late making some situation substitution the players were not going to get there in time and they would have had one situation with 12 men on the field which would have cost him the penalty they didn't want to take the chance this is now a final chicago 17 indianapolis 10 but the bears i think had all they could handle with the colts they didn't figure me that tougher ball game new england new england now with a record of 10 and four as aw detroit 23-6 those are the two finals that we have at this point and here we have two minutes at 39 seconds left of the ball game with miami leading by three 27-24 at the end of the first quarter the dolphins led 6-3 led 20-3 and very handily at halftime and they were overpowering the last two minutes of the first half but green bay came roaring back in the third to make it 20-17 after three and now mourinho is moving some people about in his office and he's putting the clock down woody bennett will end up shy of the first down he needed two and he'll only get one so it'll be third down and a yard in cincinnati just continues to roll 50 to 17 over dallas dallas moving up 94 points in the last two ball games between chicago and cincinnati and now green bay will take their last time out stopping the clock with 2 21 left to go so it'll be third down and still a couple to go st louis back winning this time over new orleans 28 to 16. it's been a tough long season for both of those ball clubs that's john sandusky with the blue jacket on the left the offensive coordinator of course that's uh forest break right in the middle of your screen and miami right now needs this to give the ball to davenport to pick up this first down if they don't pick up the first down punt the football and play defense [Music] the brain thrust is on the sideline right now with don shula i don't think they're going to throw this football because they want to use that clock and they only have one yard to go and it will be key right now because rebay only has one timeout left no they're out of timeout they're out of timeouts and all they have left right now is the two-minute warning and the three that are tied in the east miami leading by three was this game with 221 to go jets leading by 14 over buffalo handily in the fourth right now new england defeating detroit that is now final so new england the record 10-4 the jets are looking at gym four miami right now is hoping for a 10-4 green bay vice well it's a cold vice in green bay trying to clamp the dolphins they still have time let's see what miami can come up with maybe green bay i think that's a closer determination yes take the v out of that green bay needs one more defensive blood they're going to throw the ball first down dan johnson 61 yards who would have thought that miami would wrap it up this way that's what you call audacity you have to have audacity to make a play like that because it was very very obvious that green bay was surprised and dan johnson went in for the touchdown that was don schuler's call on the sideline and that's what separates the playoff and super bowl teams they have so much confidence in what they do and yeah it was not a gamble because you have to know when to get it 61 yards 70 on the drive in three plays the extra point is good and miami is comfortably in front now by a score of 34 to 24. let's take another look dan marino right now because of the play action fake everybody was full and there's 87 the green bay of miami dan johnson going in for the score and isn't that sweet right now to be running that last 10 yards unmolested excellent call on the part of the miami bench and for dan moreno that is his fifth touchdown pass in the ball game and he has completed 30 of 44 for 345 yards and five touchdowns [Music] and coming up next on nbc sports the second half of our double header most of you will see the battle for gold possession of first place in the west between the raiders and the broncos some of you to see cleveland as seattle your team plays here we'll kick off the second half of our doubleheader here on nbc sport two minutes and ten seconds left to go here at lampo field and they have time they come down now and get a big play and get on the board they get onside kick and be in position for the tying field goal so they do have time [Music] but it's a long road for the backers ellerson [Music] no that's kim stills on the return [Music] as we pause briefly for station identification this is the nbc television network wluk 11 green bay jim zorn goes to work trailing now by 10 with two minutes and two seconds left in the ball game and the line of scrimmage will be the green bay 34-yard line and zorn as sam said this very quickly though he's to put the ball up deep maybe a pass interference and maybe an outstanding play by eps or lofton but they've got to get the ball up field quickly go tight end going with three wide receivers and an inside handoff to clark and clark to the 43-yard line he'll pick up nine it'll be second down and a yard but the clock will be stopped with a two-minute warning and we'll be back in just a moment sam what about the audacity of that call by don the same one that dwight eisenhower made on june 6th to go ahead and take the beachhead i would record that the same category but those kind of calls are winning ball games for you in the military they say the element of surprise and the call had audacity and certainly the element of surprise and broke the game wide open so now the packers very close just a moment ago and now with their problems trailing by 10 and they are out of time out but still the possibility loomed it's been done before and we'll be done again the question is will it be done today can you pick up tim 10 points with a minute 57 to go in no timeout well they're at midfield they need a big play and then an onside kick and they have a chance second and blue miami is deep making sure that that big play will be taken away and doran just has to drop this one off he was running out of time jesse clark the attended receiver and it'll be third down down to two that was a screen pass and that's what miami wants at this point right now is to just have green bay throw the ball inside run the clock down and make those tackles and have to have green bay go into a two minute offense they have to throw the ball up field they need a big play right now third down and two [Music] deep over the middle this is dinard and he's got the first down no huddle no huddle hurry up jim get you get your offense on the line of scrimmage you're fighting the clock 15 yards on the play and a first down at the 42 yard line of miami 130 left pass is complete to the 39 yard line it's only three yards second down and seven hugh green making the tackle it was eddie lee ivory that pulled it in now there's another possibility and that is you can go for the vehicle then on sides and go for the touchdown you can do it in either order hit from behind by george little alex moyer then gets the interception and zorn is hit the deepest does it for miami with the clock on its countdown and green bay out of time out this is third down and miami just running the clock down stepping back downing the ball and letting the clock go good afternoon for jim zorn but a better afternoon for the miami dolphins the final here miami 34 green bay 24 and the miami dolphins have a record of 10 and
